text: Cast: Rajah (who has been to Disneyland many times before, but this was her first time to go more than an hour alone), and "Art" (a friend from online, and the only online friend Rajah ran into on the trip) Well, I don't recommend that lone females with overactive imaginations who are unaccustomed to traveling alone stay by themselves at the Castle Inn and Suites. I was perfectly fine, had no problems beyond my overactive imagination, but I also got very little sleep that night. Even with little sleep, I was up early enough for early entry that morning. Granted, early entry wasn't until 8:30 am, but still after no sleep, that's too early in the morning /infopop/emoticons\icon_wink.gif But I made it to the gates before they opened, and just gaped at the crowds. Even that early in the morning, the crowds were backed up all the way to the construction fence in the back! We hadn't seen this kind of crowds just to get in the park even during the weekend, but then again all weekend the hours were early enough I guess most people didn't want to get up that early because the crowds were certainly there later in the day, especially on Saturday! Despite the huge crowds at the gate, the park swallowed them up pretty quickly so I was able to accomplish most of what I set out to do this morning. That was, try to take pictures of every shop, eatery, or attraction in the park. This morning, my goal was to get most if not all of Main Street and Fantasyland, and what I could get of Tomorrowland. I was able to do so with very few people in any of the shops, and even made it to Toon Town about the time the gates opened there so I could get pictures of a nearly deserted Toon Town. By the time I finished Toon Town, I had to hurry back to the hotel so I could meet Tracy and get checked out. She was going to give me a ride over to the Disneyland Hotel and then the intention was we would catch lunch before she had to go to work. If something in my wording makes you think something happened, you're right. I got back to the hotel with no problem, finished packing my stuff up with no problem, even got checked out with no problem and a few minutes to spare before the 11am checkout time. Only, no Tracy. Well, no big deal, she was only a few minutes late and as I think I mentioned before, she does tend to run late at times. So I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. And called, no answer, so I waited... Finally, just over an hour after she was supposed to be there, I gave up and ended up walking up Harbor dragging my luggage behind me. Thankfully that consisted of nothing more than a backpack (well balanced) and a suitcase with wheels. So it wasn't *that* bad of a hike. I had no trouble finding the right tram and getting over to the Disneyland Hotel dropoff. The hard part was finding my way around the construction and with no map to the registration desk, which of course was on the complete opposite side of the hotel complexes. But I finally found it and got checked in, only to find that my room wouldn't be ready for another 3 hours. I was exhausted and very ready to sleep for a few hours, but no room meant no room, so I checked my luggage with bell services and headed back over to the park. In some ways, this may have been a mistake (I'll get to that later)... a mistake I didn't discover until just before I checked out. But I'll tell you that part later. So back over to the park I went, on my first ride ever (or at least first ride I remember) on the Disneyland Monorail. Pretty cool /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I really liked being able to get on at the hotel and get off in the middle of Tomorrowland, although that felt strange -- entering the park without going through Main Street. Well, if I couldn't take a nap, I decided food was definitely in order, so I hit the first place I found: Redd Rockett's Pizza Port. I'd heard good things about this place and it was right there in front of me, smelled good, and had seats. Good enough for me. So I grabbed a dish of spaghetti and meatballs and a surge (!! Was this the only place in the park they serve surge? I was happy /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif ). I thought the spaghetti was decent. Not excellent, but pretty good and I'd definitely eat there again on another trip. Well, food did the trick. I wasn't as full of energy as I would have been if I'd been able to get a nap like I wanted, but I at least felt better. So my first stop was right next door: Space Mountain, especially since there was supposedly only a 15 minute wait. Well, while I didn't only have a 15 minute wait, I did get to see what happens when Space Mountain goes 101. Apparently they were trying to get too many people who needed assistance into one car and the timing got too far off, because even before they finished seating this group of "special needs" people, they had to start taking them off and the lights came up and everything. It didn't take them long to get everything back in synch, and I even got to see how they add another train to the track (pretty snazzy). So I guess it wasn't that bad having to wait for them to bring the ride back up, especially since their "20 minute delay" turned out to be no more than about 5 minutes. And then much to my surprise and pleasure, the soundtrack was working!! That was my favorite ride on Space Mountain: the first time through with the sound track. So cool! After Space, I realized I didn't have a picture of the Tomorrowland train station, so decided to catch the train over to Main Street just for the fun of it. Once off that, I decided for no apparent reason to catch the horse-drawn buggy that was loading and ride that to the other side of Main Street. Despite the fact that I needed a locker on *this* side of the Street. Oh well, it was fun and I got a picture or two while on the buggy. I just ended up walking back to the photo shop to get more film (I ended up taking as many pictures on this 5-day trip as I did on our 10-day honeymoon, and I still had to buy 8 more rolls even though I brought nearly twice as many rolls as I expected to need!!). Film is fairly expensive in the Land: $18 per 4/pack. But that's not as high as I expected, really. As I was walking back toward the lockers, I noticed someone starting to set up some ropes over by a little shop on Main Street. It only took me a moment to realize I'd stumbled on the famous Dapper Dans, another group I hadn't ever seen much of! So I stopped to watch their little show and FINALLY discovered what those neat instruments were called: They're the Deagon Organ Chimes, and no I don't know if I've spelled that right. May even have been Geigon. But is was something along those lines, and the Dans have a really cute song that introduces them. I had a lot of fun getting to watch their show from beginning to end for the first time that I can recall. Only problem with standing to watch the Dapper Dans as I did is I had a place right in the nice hot afternoon sun, so by the time I (already tired from not enough sleep and two previous full days at the park) got to the lockers, I wasn't thinking right. I went straight back and found a locker, put the stuff in it, took out the key, and was already back on Main Street before I realized -- I hadn't needed a coin! So I got away with a free locker that day! I set back out to continue on my quest to photograph everything in the park and hit Adventureland, New Orleans Square, and Frontierland with stops at Indy, Tarzan's Treehouse, and the line for Woody's Roundup. When we were told that the next show was full and it would be a 45 minute wait for our chance to watch a show, I decided not to stand in the sun another 45 minutes -- after all, I'd be in the park for another few days and would have another chance to catch it. So instead I hopped over to the Mark Twain and asked if I could ride up in the wheelhouse, something else I really wanted to do this trip. I was told that there was already someone up top for this round, but if I wanted to go ahead and board and just wait on the third story for the next round, I could ride up top that time most likely. So I went around once then waited for the captain to come down and take me up. When she didn't and more people started to load onto the boat, I caught her attention and was told to come on up, so I got to ride around the river in the wheelhouse. It's pretty cool up there, even if all you get to do is ring the bell and the whistle and turn the steering wheel. The view is really nice, and it's a special thing to do that I'd recommend to people /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Once I got off the Twain, I wandered back over to Main Street (just wandering) and decided to grab a hot dog and sit down on Coke Corner, just on the off chance Rod would come out and play again. He didn't, but another guy was there who wasn't bad. He wasn't Rod, but he wasn't bad either. So then I glanced at my watch and noticed it was coming up on 6pm... what to do now? I had earlier toyed with the idea of trying to actually *be* in the parade, but couldn't decide if I wanted to go for it or not. So I wandered up and down Main Street and asked a few questions until I found out how they selected people to be in the parade. Then I watched the Omnibus and a few cast members come out and start hunting people down. I followed them up and down Main Street until we got to the Hub, and then decided what the heck, might as well. I had nothing better to do. So I asked one of the two CMs who was selecting guests if I could give it a try. She said yes so I grabbed my hat (lion hat, of course) then ran back to the locker to drop off all my stuff. The only thing I was regretting was that I didn't know anyone in the park that night to take pictures. When I caught back up with the Omnibus, I took one of the few remaining seats and rode along down through Fantasyland where the CMs tried to get everyone to sing a song. We started with Zip-a-dee-do-dah and then Small World, but never once was the CM able to get both the top and bottom levels of the Omnibus to sing together. Ever heard those two songs in the round? Quite interesting and quite humorous. Especially when you get a few people who actually know the verses of the song trying to sing around those who only know the chorus or maybe one verse. Once the CMs finished grabbing their 45 guests, they had us all sign a release and then we got to go back stage. Not very far back stage, but still it was back stage. They had a tent set up where they had all of us gather while they divided us into our groups. The first group was of hippos and rhinos: they were doing the ballet dances with the Fantasia hippos and elephants. Then came a group of what were apparently monkeys and bears. They were doing more dances with Baloo and Louie. Then was a group of every other animal: foxes, rabbits, lions, zebras, etc. They were each paired with a character and walked and danced the parade route with that character. Then came the last group, the group I was in. There were 8 of us total, and we were the rope carriers! They gave us each a big fluffy cloud-bag full of confetti and we were told that every time Mickey's float (right in front of us) threw confetti, we were to throw confetti as well. Then, every once in a while two of us were tagged to duck under the rope and go dance with the penguins from Mary Poppins. The rest of the time, we were to carry the rope, smile, and wave. Very easy, you'd think. Well, I discovered a new-found respect for those people in the parades! Carrying the rope is more complex than it looked -- you had to keep track of the CM guiding us and make sure you didn't get too close to or too far away from the penguins. You also had to make sure you were close enough to the guests to keep them from running around or in front of the rope while not actually stepping on anyone. Then you had to keep track of the music to know when to throw confetti. It was a lot more complex than it looks, especially with only 5 minutes of preparation. At the same time, you were to smile and wave at the guests, and I found it a lot of fun to try to single out those families or kids who were looking directly at us and to wave especially for them. We even had one group who cheered on the rope carriers specifically, and it was fun to hear how often people begged for the confetti. And then trying to keep the dance moves straight -- even though it was a simple dance, if you didn't *all* know what you were doing, it was very easy to mess up and if one person messed up, everyone got messed up. Oh, and before the parade moved out it was really neat. Being in the last group was IMO the best, because we got to have a very close and long look at all of the floats and the characters. It was great! If you get to be in the parade, I highly recommend requesting the rope carrying group! Another thing I noticed was that somehow during the parade, my exhaustion and aching feet just completely disappeared. I didn't notice them again at all until I got back to my locker after the parade. It was a very fun experience, and I'm really glad I went ahead and tried it. It's a lot of fun from the inside!! After the parade, I grabbed my stuff from the locker (most of it anyway) and hiked all the way back up to exactly where we started -- back up at Small World. I'd heard this was another good place to view the fireworks, so I found a place to sit after asking around to find the best place up there, then crashed for about 45 minutes and made a few phone calls. That was when I discovered that Tracy hadn't just abandoned or forgotten me this morning (was it only this morning?) -- she'd had car trouble on the way in and by the time she got to a phone to call me, I'd already checked out of the hotel. And they didn't have my cell phone number until she and her fiance (who had to come rescue her) returned to their home and were able to check the answering machine. So I felt a lot better knowing that Tracy was okay. Turns out, she'd just run out of gas since they'd made the wrong assumption their gas gauge wasn't working properly. Oh well, no harm done really. So I waited over by Small World for the fireworks and really enjoyed people watching. One father and his son had those expandable Star Wars toys: the dad was playing with one of the double-ended light-staffs while his son moved between two different light sabres. His mom occasionally joined in with the other light sabre as well. It was really cute. After the fireworks (which are good from Small World but much, much better from Main Street BTW) I was cold, but I wasn't ready to return to the hotel just yet. So I returned to the central area of Fantasyland and decided on taking a ride on Toad. That warm sequence I figured was hot enough to warm me up since I'd stupidly left my jacket back at the hotel. While in line, I ran into the group of people who had been cheering for the rope carriers -- I was still wearing my parade hat. And I also started up a conversation with the guy behind me who was a regular who came over nearly every night after work. After Toad, I went over to Pinnochio. Imagine my surprise when during the Pleasure Island sequence when the two cars go back toward each other, there was the same guy again. We'd independently chosen the same ride once more, and laughed and waved at each other. Next I decided upon Snow White. I paused for a moment and made some comment to the guy when he got off, and we ended up both heading for Snow White again. When I saw that, I laughed and invited him to join me (I didn't get the feeling he was following me, we just happened to keep picking the same rides). So we struck up more conversations and imagine my surprise when I discovered I *knew* him from online! Some of y'all might remember my occasional Disneyworld riddles I post on the Inspiration Board... Well, when I first started posting them, I commented that I got the idea from a guy on ADD (that's alt.disney.disneyland, one of the few newsgroups (if not the only) I occasionally lurk on). I'd occasionally popped back over to check out his Disneyland riddles (he's good, btw). Well, the guy I ran into happened to be the guy who posts those riddles on ADD. After we got off Snow White, we decided to hook up for the rest of the park's few opening minutes and ride Peter Pan together. I sure didn't mind -- after my entire day with no one to talk to, I enjoyed having someone to visit with. And getting to exchange riddles was fun. After Peter Pan's Flight, the park was closed so we made our way back to the entrance by way of the answers to two riddles he'd stumped me on while in line. Then we both ended up on the same tram and since we were in the middle of a conversation when we reached his stop, he offered to give me a ride back to the hotel. I somewhat hesitantly said yes, but something told me I could trust this guy and I was really tired and didn't relish having to walk from the tram stop back to the entrance in a hotel complex I still didn't know very well. So I took him up on his offer and he showed me a few trivia things about DCA and the construction, then dropped me at the front desk and gave me his phone number so we could meet up again later in the week if I wanted to. I thanked him, returned to the front desk to get my room assignment, then gave the room number to the bell services guys and trudged up to the room (Marina tower, 5th floor facing the pool). I barely made it there before the luggage did, and let me tell you that room was a VAST improvement over the room we had at Castle Inn and Suites. Very cozy, very nicely decorated, and I felt MUCH safer there than I did at the Castle. And I was very grateful to Art (the riddle guy from ADD) for giving me a ride straight to the front gate. I would most likely have been fine walking from the tram stop, but a lot can happen to a lone female in unfamiliar territory, even on Disney property. After my luggage arrived, I gave Tracy and VonDrake a call to let them know I was back okay and what room I was in, then I *crashed* for the night. -Rajah email@example.com Rajah and VonDrake's Honeymoon

Hagemans Crossing is an unincorporated community in Union Township, Warren County, Ohio, United States. Located in the western part of the township, it is located on the old Cincinnati and Xenia Pike, now U.S. Route 42, about halfway between Lebanon and Mason, Ohio. It was at the crossing of the Middletown and Cincinnati Railroad and the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway and was about two miles northwest of the M&C's eastern terminus at Middletown Junction. It was named for the Rev. R.S. Hageman, who lived there. In the 19th century a post office was located there, but today there are only three buildings.
It is variously known as Camp Hageman, Camp Hagerman, Hageman, and Hagerman's Crossing.

CR in Print
The January issue of Creative Review is all about the Money – well, almost. What do you earn? Is everyone else getting more? Do you charge enough for your work? How much would it cost to set up on your own? Is there a better way of getting paid? These and many more questions are addressed in January's CR.
But if money's not your thing, there's plenty more in the issue: interviews with photographer Alexander James, designer Mirko Borsche and Professor Neville Brody. Plus, Rick Poynor on Anarchy magazine, the influence of the atomic age on comic books, Paul Belford's art direction column, Daniel Benneworth-Gray's This Designer's Life column and Gordon Comstock on the collected memos, letters and assorted writings of legendary adman David Ogilvy.
Please note, CR now has a limited presence on the newsstand at WH Smith high street stores (although it can still be found in WH Smith travel branches at train stations and airports).

Note: Please be sure to read Big Government's expose on the Left's manufactured smear attempt of philanthropist Charles Koch.
A Big Government investigation into the Left's manufactured smear campaign against liberty supporting philanthropist, Charles Koch, has caught the Huffington Post, a member of the White House Press Corp (WHPC), in violation of journalism's generally accepted code of ethics.
While various existing codes have some differences, most share common elements including the principles of — truthfulness, accuracy, objectivity, impartiality, fairness and public accountability — as these apply to the acquisition of newsworthy information and its subsequent dissemination to the public.
While pretending to simply be covering this story for the Huffington Post, it's been confirmed that alleged freelance journalist and HuffPo contributor Brendan DeMelle actually played a part in creating it. DeMelle has also been pretending to cover the story objectively on his own blog, Desmogblog.
Joel Francis, a Marine Corps veteran and senior at Cal State Los Angeles, has issued a debate challenge to Koch Industries' billionaire CEO Charles Koch on his support for the disastrous Prop 23 attack on California's climate and clean-energy progress.
While DeMelle reported a phone call from Francis to Koch's offices, what he failed to disclose is that the call actually came from his own cell phone, not Francis'. While it may seem trite to some, if a print, or on line publication is to be deemed worthy of a spot in the WHPC, it owes it to readers to actually report news as it develops, not be complicit in its manufacture.
Retreating 20 steps back to the safety of the public strip of lawn, Joel placed a phone call to Koch's main line and was transferred to Charles' secretary, who again said Mr. Koch was not available, but took Joel's cell number and promised to deliver the message.
Furthermore, DeMelle's reporting raises other questions, as well. Given that Francis was accompanied by a number of like-minded student activists, how is it that Francis would be forced to resort to using an alleged journalist's phone to place the call? Did DeMelle provide Francis the number to, in essence, manufacture news? Did DeMelle suggest the call be made to further the story?
While the lines between activist and journalist may become a bit blurry given the advent of new media and blogging, if a publication such as the Huffington Post, already implicated in one controversial story based on reporting from the White House, is to be deemed worthy for inclusion in the WHPC, it owes its readers more transparency than it seems DeMelle is prepared to provide.
Joel traveled all the way from Los Angeles with a group of fellow college students and Gabe Elsner, campaign director of Powervote CA and the California Student Sustainability Coalition
If the Huffington Post is, in effect, no better than the activist publication it often appears to be, now including in this Leftist manufactured smear attempt of Charles Koch, more serious members of the White House Press Corp interested in the group's integrity may want to consider if continued inclusion of the Huffington Post is in the association's best interests. All journalists suffer when one of their own fails to live up to commonly accepted ethics of the profession.


text: The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of the field. The one definitive text on the development of the periodic table by van Spronsen (1969), has been out of print for a considerable time. The present book provides a successor to van Spronsen, but goes further in giving an evaluation of the extent to which modern physics has, or has not, explained the periodic system.

Letter: Only one bullet needed to end a murderer's life
Only one bullet needed to end a murderer's life
After all the discussions and news articles about the botched execution in Oklahoma, and the outrage for the treatment of the self-admitted murderer, I have to agree it is terribly inhumane. We, as a compassionate society, believe in showing deranged killers the mercy that they so happily denied their victims. We, as taxpayers, believe in shouldering the enormous expense to maintain prisons to lock them up when they are caught and also to pay for a very expensive and cruel method of execution when the law allows.
I can offer up only one solution to this much-debated method. It requires one minute, one gun, one bullet and one mother of a slain child with the convicted killer. Problem solved.

Zynga (ZNGA) went from founding to IPO in four years during the greatest financial crisis in the last century.
How? It piggybacked on Facebook (FB).
I'm not taking anything away from its success. It saw the opportunity to do so in gaming before anyone else and it leveraged it to the hilt. Nobody else did.
It was so successful in converting Facebook members to spend hours at a time on its games that it became a very material part of Facebook's overall sales.
People now forget it was only last year that people used to wait for Zynga's earnings as a key indicator for how Facebook's quarterly results were going to be.
And in Zynga's last quarter, although it has consciously made an effort in the last four quarters to move to mobile and away from Facebook's Web platform, it still garners 80% of its revenues from Facebook.
So, a key determinant of the stock's future growth will be whether it can tangibly prove that it is growing its mobile revenues to more than make up for their older Facebook revenues (which are still higher margin).
To that end, the company has been doing a couple of things. News came out this week that the company planned to release Draw Something 2. That's not unusual, as it normally tries to extend its franchise games to many sequels to maximize its revenue stream from them. But its announcement was that it would fundamentally improve the new version of Draw Something to be much more social and somewhat of a social network itself. This will be key to Zynga's shift to mobile to deliver hit games that uniquely work in a mobile and social context. Such games will be much stickier and profitable.
The second big deal in terms of Zynga's longer-term potential came in an announcement it made yesterday. Its Zynga.com network now no longer requires a Facebook sign-in. You can sign in independently. This is important in a couple of ways.
Firstly, Facebook was taking a 30% cut of any money flowing to Zynga from its users playing Zynga games. Although this was a fair trade when Zynga was riding Facebook's rocket ship of growth, Zynga now needs all the money it can get to grow its top line again.
Secondly, Zynga needs to be more than just a producer of a series of hit games. If it is truly going to grow with the benefits of network effects, it needs to create a Zynga platform. That means there has to be some extra reason for existing Zynga players to play a new Zynga game when it is introduced vs., say, a Rovio game. This could be because they know a bunch of other Zynga players already and want to chat with them or do some other type of communication with them. It could be because they already have a Zynga account filled up with credits that can be applied to the new game, etc.
If Zynga can somehow crack this mobile platform code the way it cracked the Facebook Web code, there will be huge growth for the company. But it will be a tougher road. Mobile is inherently more fragmented compared to the way it grew on the Web.

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to figure out a way to get related articles (related to the current article that is) from the database. Normally I would run a match-search on titles, descriptions and keywords (with the current title, description and keywords) and if that didn't produce any hits I'd run a mysql fulltext-search.
Can't seem to figure out how to go about implementing this in SS.
Would someone be so kind to point me in the right direction ? ;-)

Contrary to the general opinion in the large centers of population in the east, there is the very best of good society in the west. By this we do not mean fashionable society, with all its attendant evils of dissipation so destructive of health, morals and life itself, but an intelligent society, and one in which all the rational pleasures of social life are reasonably enjoyed. Churches, schools, literary societies, musical organizations, dramatic societies, dancing clubs and the various secret and benevolent orders are found even here on the frontier, and eastern Wyoming affords to its people all the advantage of a social character that you will find in the east.
Wyoming is 385 miles east and west by 275 miles north and south with an area of 100,000 square miles and comprises a total of some 64,000,000 acres, with a population of about 80,000, which is rapidly increasing, and no territory in the union is to-day attracting greater or more favorable attention than Wyoming, lying as it is, in the very pathway of the great tide of immigration which has swept the plains of Kansas, Nebraska, and Dakota. Wyoming must certainly secure her share of the home-seeker and investor.
Until within the last two or three years the territory of Wyoming has been considered by most people within the territory or out of it, as being valuable only as a grazing or stock-growing country, and very little attention has been paid to the development of its agricultural or mineral resources.
With the change which has taken place in the method of conducting the range cattle industry, within the period before mentioned, there has come an appreciation of the agricultural interests of the territory, and the farmer, who had heretofore been looked upon by the cattlemen as an intruder, is now gladly welcomed by all, and will readily find a home market for all he may raise.
Farming throughout the territory has been demonstrated to be more profitable than in the east – even in those localities where irrigation is necessary, and great activity is being manifested to occupy and utilize our fertile agricultural lands.

By Cindy Dubin, Business Solutions magazine.
In an effort to combine friendly POS (point of sale) service with speedy transaction processing, merchants have turned to technology. Everything from self-service checkout kiosks to new technology in bar code scanners, credit card processors, and touch screens all speed up the checkout process. But, mobility technology is changing the consumer shopping experience again, and once more raising the customer service bar for retailers. Savvy VARs have the opportunity to enter this growing mobility niche and generate revenue along the way.
According to Abe Salalac, director of sales & marketing for MMF POS, a supplier of cash drawers and accessories, the increased tendency of consumers to use apps in their mobile phones to purchase items is forcing retailers to supplement and enhance their own existing POS solutions to make them more mobile.
"While retailers are still using fixed POS stations — and I don't see that changing right now — they also need to address society's move toward mobility, and they can do that with mobile POS peripherals sold by resellers," says Salalac.
The employee-operated handheld device, such as an iPad or other tablet, allows retail associates to speed up transaction processing. Having POS mobile peripherals to support these devices is essential for these solutions. Hardware such as battery packs, mounting stations, and holsters are critical ingredients to ensure consistency in front of the consumer. Salalac says that VARs should be certain that the peripherals are rugged enough to withstand the use they will get. "Remember, these items are not stationary," he says. "They are being carried around and worn on the body and need to stand up to a mobile environment with which fixed stations do not have to contend.
"Mobile POS is where the retail industry is headed, and VARs need to provide the associated peripherals to keep retailers competitive," says Salalac.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Banking on high growth while ignoring fundamentals is nothing new for investors in the tech sector.This has been my main point of contention with stocks such as Salesforce.com ( CRM) and Red Hat ( RHT), which sport P/Es that often offend value investors. Nonetheless, those that are filled with illusions of grandeur care very little that the current fundamentals of these companies may not support the inflated valuations. This is particularly true with stocks having anything to do with the "software as a service" (SaaS) space, or "the cloud." But I wonder, how can one sector fully support the growth expectations of its entire group? Oracle ( ORCL) and IBM ( IBM) compete for the same set of customers, so a few companies will have to be left out. They can't all win. This is where I've come to wonder whether NetSuite ( N) still makes sense for investors. I don't think it does, for many reasons. Aside from the competitive threats, NetSuite's stock has already appreciated by over 50% this year, rewarding investors handsomely with roughly $2 billion in premiums. But this is unlikely to continue. What will also hurt NetSuite is its less-than-stellar fundamentals, which suggests there is a significant amount of speculation with its recent rise. Investors would be wise to secure profits now before the market wakes up to this mistake. What will follow will be the inevitable correction. Butthe stock is unlikely to recover. The competitive threats and the recent unsupported run-up in the stock are bad enough, but the main concern here with NetSuite is that it is still unprofitable. If it has not been able to generate positive earnings with less competition over the past five years, there will be more uncertainty now. But its valuation suggests investors are convinced that it will generate those positive earnings. The bulls argue that NetSuite's billings are growing and that it has had a couple of years of positive cash flow. But evidence suggests that it's unsustainable. How much time are investors willing to give the company to prove that its model can be effective? One way to prove this is to turn a profit. Although the company is doing a decent job growing its revenue now, at some point margins will start to matter. Otherwise, what is the point? It makes no sense for investors to continue to pay such high premiums on yields of only above-average revenue growth.

The Citadel plans to demolish and replace the east stands at Johnson Hagood Memorial Stadium in downtown Charleston, according to a news release.
The football stadium at 68 Hagood Ave. was built in the 1920s and renovated in 1948. Its west stands were rebuilt in the 2000s, but the 9,300-seat east stands — which serve as the visitors' section — are the oldest portion of the stadium, the news release said.
Seating was reduced this football season because of deteriorated conditions, according to the news release.
"The Citadel board approved a motion allowing the administration to move forward with the demolition of the eastside stands of Johnson Hagood Stadium," Lt. Gen. John B. Sams Jr., chairman of The Citadel Board of Visitors, said in the news release. "We will be working closely with our adjacent neighborhoods and the Board of Architectural Review."
A review by the college found that structural steel upgrades and seismic retrofitting are required, the news release said. The military college didn't release a cost estimate for the work.

Navnews 41/99 NNS4104. T.R., CVW EIGHT depart the Arabian Gulf NNS4105. C5F welcomes Connie Battle Group to the Gulf NNS4104. T.R., CVW EIGHT depart the Arabian Gulf by USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF (NWS) -- After six weeks supporting Operation Southern Watch, USS Theodore Roosevelt and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) EIGHT departed the Arabian Gulf after being relieved by USS Constellation (CV 63) August 28. T.R., CVW EIGHT and the 4,800 crewmembers aboard departed Norfolk, Va., March 26. The aircraft carrier and the Theodore Roosevelt Battle Group left for a routine six-month deployment to the Arabian Gulf. However, on April 6, T.R. was diverted to the Ionian Sea to participate in Operation Allied Force to support the NATO-led air campaign in Kosovo. During the 10-week campaign, over 3,000 combat sorties were launched from T.R. without a single loss of aircraft or personnel. Air Wing EIGHT aircraft expended more than 800 tons of ordnance during the conflict. This operation also marked the first time a U.S. carrier battle group was transferred to NATO operational control. The T.R. and CVW EIGHT team arrived in the Arabian Gulf on July 14 to support the coalition-enforced no- fly zone in Southern Iraq. Four days later, CVW EIGHT F/A-18 Hornets and F-14 Tomcats used precision-guided munitions to strike an Iraqi surface-to-air missile site. As T.R. and CVW EIGHT completed their time on station in the Arabian Gulf, more than 2,300 sorties had been flown and more than four million gallons of JP-5 fuel was burned. These sorties included eight separate combat strikes on Iraqi air defense sites, and more than 30 tons of ordnance expended in response to Iraqi aggression against coalition aircraft. These bombardments represent the first time in recent history that strikes from the same aircraft carrier have taken place in two theaters of operation within one deployment. Ships assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt Battle Group include: USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71); USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55); USS Vella Gulf (CG 72); USS Albuquerque (SSN 706); USS Arctic (AOE 8); USS Boise (SSN 764); USS Ramage (DDG 61); USS Ross (DDG 71); USS Peterson (DD 969); USS Elrod (FFG 55); and USS Halyburton (FFG 40). Squadrons assigned to Carrier Air Wing EIGHT include: VF-14; VF-41; VFA-15; VFA-87; HS-3; VAQ-141; VS-24; VAW-124; and VRC-40. Links list:

Pree, USS Constellation Public Affairs ARABIAN GULF (NNS) -- The 5,000-person crew of USS Constellation (CV 64) hosted their new boss, Vice Adm. Charles "Willy" Moore, Commander, U.S. Fifth Fleet, August 28, the same day the ship officially relieved USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) in the Arabian Gulf. Vice Adm. Moore visited Connie for an overnight stay as the San Diego-based aircraft carrier transited the Strait of Hormuz. His 24 hours on board included briefs, tours and extensive talks with hundreds of Sailors and Marines. Moore began his visit with several briefings on new equipment and capabilities incorporated by the battle group and embarked Carrier Air Wing TWO to provide improved combat effectiveness. "I have never been more impressed with a carrier battle group's preparations for deployment to the Gulf," said Moore. "I recently received calls from CINCPACFLT (Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet) and COMNAVAIRPAC (Commander, Naval Air Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet) informing me that I had the Connie coming to me, and that I had the best in the fleet. That is something to be proud of." While walking around the ship, Moore focused his comments on the important deterrence mission of the Constellation Battle Group and the impact the U.S. Navy has in the Gulf region. "Your mission in this region is important to the United States of America and our allies worldwide," said Moore. "Our nation has vital interests in this part of the world which are critical for the survival of our country. We have to have access to the Arabian Gulf in order to get the precious oil reserves that are here. We need to have peace and stability here so that these energy reserves can flow in and out if necessary. You are here to maintain that stability. "You are the central players here in the Gulf," Moore continued. "The Connie Battle Group represents 60 to 70 percent of the strike assets Central Command has in this region. Thanks to you and all the battle groups who have served here before you, the Gulf region today is one of the most stable and peaceful areas in the world." The Constellation Battle Group will spend the next 10 weeks in the Arabian Gulf and will continue to conduct maritime interception operation (MIO) boardings as well as fly combat air patrols over Iraqi no-fly zones in support of Operation Southern Watch. Ships assigned to the Constellation Battle Group include: USS Constellation (CV 64); USS Chosin (CG 65); USS Lake Erie (CG 70); USS Kinkaid (DD 965); USS Benfold (DDG 65); USS Santa Fe (SSN 763); USS Olympia (SSN 717); USS Sacramento (AOE 1); USCGC Midgett (WHEC 726); Canadian frigate HMCS Regina (FFH 334).

HAVING won a 12-month reprieve from having to comply with the government's Future of Financial Advice reforms, financial planners are concentrating their efforts on winning further concessions from the independents needed to pass the legislation.
Following intense lobbying from planners and fund managers, the Financial Services Minister, Bill Shorten, announced yesterday that planners will be given until July 1, 2013, to comply with the reforms which will ban conflicts such as commissions, require planners to act in their clients' best interest, and provide better disclosure on their fees and charges.
The reforms were originally scheduled to come in from July 1 this year, but compliance for the first year will now be voluntary.
Mr Shorten said the industry had indicated it needed more time to prepare for the changes but consumers would still win because early movers could offer benefits like commission-free investments this year. The government is hoping this will create a competitive environment where companies will be pressured to comply as soon as possible.
However, the industry is still pushing for further concessions and is confident of having won the support of at least one key independent.
While talks are still in process, the industry is confident the NSW independent Rob Oakeshott will oppose the controversial opt-in requirement which will require planners to ask their clients every two years whether they are still prepared to pay for their services. Independents Tasmanian Andrew Wilkie and Queensland's Bob Katter are also being looked at as probable supporters.
Both the Financial Planning Association and the Association of Financial Advisers wrote to the independents and Greens and have spent much of the week in Canberra seeking amendments to the bills now likely to be debated next week.
The chief executive of the Financial Planning Association, Mark Rantall, said his organisation wanted the opt-in requirement to be dropped, along with a requirement that advisers disclose their fees annually to existing clients, not just new clients. He said it also wants clarification of the best interest requirement, because as it is currently worded, the industry believes it will limit the ability of advisers to offer scaled or limited advice, and clarification that the ban on commissions on group life insurance will not apply to individually advised clients using platforms.
The Financial Services Council, which represents the big fund managers, said it was also concerned the legislation would not not allow for effective scalable advice.
The chief executive of the council, John Brogden, said the best interest duty also failed to provide certainty for consumers and advisers by not providing a reasonable steps defence.
On Tuesday, the Senate economics committee joined the joint parliamentary committee in recommending the reforms with minor amendments. The government is considering its response.

An 18-year-old D.C. man was sentenced to four years in prison for robbing a woman of her dog at gunpoint.
Christopher Young approached the woman who was walking her Yorkshire Terrier in the area of 5th and Kennedy streets in Northeast Washington on the morning of Jan. 5.
He pulled out a handgun and said, "Give me your dog. Yorkies cost a lot of money," authorities said.
He grabbed the dog and fled.
The victim noticed that Young had dropped his phone next to where the dog's leash had dropped. While Young continued running, the dog escaped and ran to its home.
Officers determined the phone belonged to Young, and leaned that he had a GPS device on his ankle for a previous crime. The ankle bracelet monitoring placed him directly in the area at the time of the robbery.

Franklin Morales proved to be a valuable asset to the Red Sox last season, and his versatility didn't go unnoticed.
According to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, a few teams have contacted the Sox about Morales this offseason and a few others have the left-hander on their list of pitchers to watch closely in spring training.
Morales went 3-4 with a 3.77 ERA in 37 appearances last season. While the lefty served primarily in a relief role, the Red Sox did use him as a starter for nine games, which evidently was enough to intrigue some teams. Cafardo notes that teams will be interested this spring to see if Morales can consistently maintain his high velocity — around 96 mph to be exact — for a full outing.
While it's unclear which teams contacted the Red Sox about Morales, Cafardo thinks that the Nationals could be a suitor if Gio Gonzalez is forced to miss any time as a result of his alleged involvement with a PED-selling, anti-aging clinic in Miami.

The double burden of childhood obesity and undernutrition have reached epidemic levels worldwide. We need to act now to secure a happier, healthier world for our children and for future generations. Campaigning for wider change across the food system is something that affects each and every one of us. We all have a role to play in making change happen.
Fairer marketing is one of the six points in Jamie's plan to tackle childhood obesity. We are campaigning to protect children from junk food marketing as we know that advertising is unequivocally linked to rates of obesity. Since 1980 the global rate of obesity has more than doubled. In the UK alone, 1.8 million kids watch primetime weekend TV (think X-Factor or Britain's Got Talent). As they're not specifically aimed at kids, these shows aren't subject to the same restrictions that apply to dedicated children's programming. This means they can advertise what they like in the breaks and millions of kids see ads for foods high in fat and sugar, including chocolate, crisps, pizza and sweets. We think that junk food advertising in all forms should be banned before 9pm.
As a revolutionary, you can join in with our campaigns and unite with us to make a huge noise in the fight for a better, healthier and happier world for every child. From advocating change at a community level to shouting about our campaigns on social media to learning how to cook and passing on your skills, everyone has a role to play.
Our ambassadors bring the Food Revolution to life in their communities all year round. If you're interested in making a change in your local area, you can find out more about the programme and fill out the application form here.
The UK now joins Mexico, France and South Africa in implementing a tax on sugary drinks. In the UK, this will generate half a billion pounds that will go straight into schools, invested into sports and breakfast clubs. Jamie has welcomed the news about a levy on sugary drinks in the UK, but believes that this is only one part of a multi-layered solution to a complex obesity problem and hopes that this will be addressed in the UK Government's childhood obesity strategy, due to be released in summer 2016. Read the answers to your questions on the sugary drinks tax here.
Together with medical experts and professionals, Jamie has drafted a six-point plan to tackle childhood obesity in the UK. The levy on sugary drinks was just one of a range of proposed policies, initiatives, incentives and community-based interventions, which together create a powerful tool for change. Jamie has sent his proposal to PM David Cameron and believes we must keep putting pressure on the Government to consider these measures and be bold once again in their own strategy.

Fyodor Mozgovoy told the NSL News that Ocean 5 and Kaktus Hunter train at the same dropzone in Kolomna. Their team rooms are next to each other, and the team members are good friends. Thus, during their training camps in Kolomna they decide to make an 8-way jump here and there by the end of the day.
The featured 8-way video was the 6th jump with this Ocean Kaktus line-up. Fyodor Mozgovoy added that half of the team members have very little 8-way experience, if some at all. Ocean 5 member Viktor Gorbunkov, one of the Russian 8-way veterans, engineers and coaches Ocean Kaktus when they make their 8-way fun jumps.
However, there is a good chance that Skylight Barkli and Black Cat may travel to the Czech Republic at the end of August. The Russian Nationals 2009 earlier in August will probably have an impact on the decision which Russian teams will compete at the World Cup.
The NSL News was interested where Kaktus Hunter's team name originated from, and Ekaterina Kharitonova provided the insights.
"I don't get what is he doing in the desert all the time? Is he a kaktus hunter?"
Ekaterina Kharitonova said that this sounded just right for her team. She and Egor Gusev used to travel to Arizona frequently, and Anna Panasyuk and Andrei Kharitonov like Eloy, as well. Eventually, they all thought that "Kaktus Hunter" might be a symbolic team name reminding them of the place they like to be and jump at. She added that it would also remind them of all the great coaching they had with Airspeed members.
"We are fun and sharp and very determined. You know, those Saguaro kaktuses grow for hundreds of years, and that's what the team is about."
The other Russian top teams will be in big trouble if Kaktus Hunter follows through and stays in the 4-way business that long.
The team has already shown the determination that Ekaterina Kharitonova was talking about, and the scores have been going up consistently. Russian Nationals 2009 and World Cup 2009 are next on the Kaktus Hunter agenda.

In 2012 Solis moved up to AMA Pro Daytona SportBike with three top-10 race finishes and a best qualifying result of sixth.
"I first saw Benny race when he was about 11 years old and started paying serious attention when I saw him winning Rookies Cup races held during AMA Pro weekends in 2008," said Team Hammer owner John Ulrich, who raced with Benny's father Ben during the 1990s. "In 2009 I worked with Benny on a Moriwaki MD250H project, and in 2011 I put together a deal so he could race in AMA Pro SuperSport on a Honda CBR600RR. Benny is clearly talented and we've been looking for an opportunity to see what he can do on Team Hammer racebikes. Now things have finally come together and I am really looking forward to working with Benny and helping him realize his potential in AMA Pro SportBike."
"Benny is a kid we've been watching for about five years and we see a lot of potential there," said Team Hammer Crew Chief and General Manager Keith Perry. "I was really impressed when I saw him running away on a Honda in the AMA Pro SuperSport race at Laguna Seca in 2011, and we think he's a rider who can do really well on our M4 Hondas."
"I'm really excited and motivated about this coming season!" said Solis. "Being back on a Honda CBR600RR and signing with Team Hammer gives me a lot of confidence because I already know the bike and I have a great team behind me. This is a big opportunity for me and I'm really looking forward to having a lot of fun racing the M4 Honda in 2013!"

is anyone else bothered by the absolute Lack of a body part recognition system at this point....or is it just me???? even if you have to lower the number of players Online to 5v5 in S&D Hardcore, why is there not atleast a system to recognize when your being shot twice in the leg?? why do i die being shot in the arm once??? COD4 was the most fun COD imo....MW2 was second....MW3 3rd....but that is All.....for next gen, the game NEEDS body part recognition. i should be able to shoot a guy 10 times in the leg and leave him only for him to crawl around in last stand trying to kill people with his pistol out.
Why pick up BF4 now? It'll be on sale a few months down the road for half off, check Origin as they're always doing half off on console games. Not to mention if you wait 6 months you'll be able to pick up the game with all the maps for $50 instead of $110 if you buy now (Game + Premium)
CoD Ghosts will be $59.99 until next year

I just don't get the attraction to COD, really.
The games are so flawed and recycled, it's pathetic. I can't stand getting into a game, having to deal with lag compensation, or having the hit detection be so uneven and not making sense. You'd think that with the sales records this franchise breaks every year, they'd be able to actually fix the major problems in the game.
I'm not saying nobody here can like it and/or have fun with it. I'm just saying I personally hate the franchise. It's bland and dull, the devs don't care, the community is pathetic, the games seldom work correctly... and to top it off, other FPS game developers have tried to make their games play out more like COD to make more money. Look at games like Crysis and Halo. As much as I like those franchises, they play out a lot like Call of Duty.
At least Battlefield is actually trying. COD is just a cash cow.

the Black Ops COD's to me are just Horrible, the maps suck, the shooting is lame, the hit detection is just GOD AWFUL, i dont understand how people can play these games and endure the frustrating flaws. i played MW2 for 2 weeks and went back to COD4....MW3 i played for 7 days and just got tired of it, its really just the same game over and over and over with bland maps.
if Battlefield had a Last Man Standing mode, i would Never pay any attention to COD. Titanfall is more Fantasy to me so i dont think it can take the place of Pixelated Combat that COD and BF fill....but im considering sticking to Watch Dogs for my armed combat fix for next gen.

Fellow gamer let me please point out some things. COD is not perfect but the formula is. weapons, equipment, perks, and killstreaks. Its the same thing over and over because you can't really improve it too much other than minor tweaks. The community is annoying because they have so many players and annoying people come wit that. If you tripled BF3's community and had open game chat you would call it the same exact thing. COD is plug and play. Anyone can pick it up and start playing that way they have a bigger market to cater to, yes BF takes more skill and thats a smaller market. COD isn't going to go brand new and end up bombing like Medal of Honor did. They stick to what they know just like there really isn't much gameplay wise from BF3 to BF4. COD is also good for the fans who don't need to turn a fps into a RPG saga. Its nice to play COd matches that don't take 30 minutes to 2 hrs like BF3 maps. I can achive 300% more unlocks grinding on COD than BF and its my choice to not want to put in 4 hours and maybe only get 5 games. shooters play like COD? name one that doesn't. You can't be too original when creating people who run around with guns and shoot each other. aim with the left trigger fire with the right trigger.They all are going to be pretty similar.
At least Battlefield is trying? ok BF3 was the most broken game i have ever played. it shipped broken and it shipped with 95% of the issues that were in the beta. Trees were going through buildings and stairways, tanks were still floating, people were doing the sprint animation while lying in the prone. It was terrible on day one not to mention they forgot to add in a back button so you can exit games between then instead of quiting out of games and handicapping your team till someone replaced you. BF4 is what BF3 should've been. BF4 is still lacking with the heavily scripted Levolution. I was hoping the ship was usable and whenever it got damaged enough it would randomly run aground but thats not the case. The ship and the building are all scripted to happen the same exact way every single time. It wouldve been nice if the building fell down the opposite way when attacked from the opposite direction. There is NOTHING dynamic about the levolution. Plus the storm is ONLY on 1 map. so aside from more weapon tweaks and pretty graphics its still more of the same BF3 but improved.
Not attacking you, just pointing out some things. either way im getting both. They should entertain me till Titanfall comes out.

A growing number of California avocado grower-shippers are certified or are in the process of being certified for good agricultural practices.
The Irvine-based California Avocado Commission launched a program to help growers complete a GAP inspection about a year ago, and growers started achieving certified status late last year.
Gaining more acreage
All of the major handlers have bought into the program, and by early February, up to 15% of the state's avocado acreage had been certified, said Ken Melban, the commission's director of issues management.
The commission has not set a specific acreage goal, but Melban said the organization would like to see "a sizable amount of acreage" certified by the end of year.
"We're very pleased with how the industry is tracking on it," he said.
Consumers, retailers and the federal government are driving the process, he said. The commission is not mandating the inspection.
The commission has developed a policy and procedures manual to help handlers become GAP certified, he said.
The program focuses on key areas to mitigate and reduce potential bacterial contamination, including human contact, animals, soil and inputs, such as water.
The commission believes so strongly in the value of the GAP certification that it has set aside funds to reimburse participating growers up to $300 toward the cost of the audit.
Minimal modifications
Escondido, Calif.-based Giumarra Agricom International LLC has signed onto the program, said Jose Tostado, director of field operations.
The company only had to make a few modifications to its procedures to comply with the GAP program.
"It wasn't something drastic — that really was very different from what we were doing," Tostado said.
Much of the process consisted of ensuring that documentation is on file, he said.
"It's another expense," he said, but it could be worthwhile down the road as more buyers demand that their suppliers implement good agricultural practices, he said.
Del Rey Avocado Co. Inc. in Fallbrook, Calif., is making sure it complies with good agricultural practices as it completes a remodeling program, said partner Bob Lucy.
The company's packinghouse and its growers are abiding by the GAPs, he said.
The firm has hired Gerardo Huerta to help its growers ensure that they are in compliance.
The process doesn't require jumping though a lot of hoops, Lucy said, "just diligently keeping track of records."
Santa Paula, Calif.-based Calavo Growers Inc. also involved in the program.
"The Calavo GAP team and some of our major growers helped lead the process," said Rob Wedin, vice president of sales and fresh marketing.
As of early February, more than 25% of the company's large growers were certified, and Wedin expects 85% of Calavo's California volume to GAP certified by July.
"We've made some tremendous progress," he said.
Industry takes the lead
Many of Temecula-based Eco-Farms Corp.'s groves have been certified as part of an ongoing program, said Steve Taft, president and chief executive officer.
"It's a must," Taft said, adding that it's better that the industry take the lead than the government.
"Who knows avocados better than those in the business?" he asked.
The industry has done a good job setting up the guidelines and getting out the word to growers, Lucy said.
Melban said he is encouraged by how quickly growers have adopted the program in just the past two to three months.
