ANAHEIM, CA The Bruins went to California with an aching in their hearts last week, and theyre returning with equal parts meaning and identity after taking four out of six points on the three-game trip.
Even the 2-1 loss to San Jose opening the Pacific Division trip wasnt a complete washout given some of the factors at work there, but Boston has to be heartened after winning four of their last five games while finding the tried-and-true formula for Bruins success.
Its always come down to defense, goaltending and opportunistic scoring from all lines for the reigning Cup champs, and it did again on the West Coast.
Our guys respected the game plan well and we got the results we wanted, said Claude Julien, who was describing Sundays win over the Ducks but might well have been speaking about their body of work since a tipping point home win over the Flyers. We still feel we have some work to do because weve been struggling the last few months. Weve won four of our last five games and were starting to turn the corner, so that bodes well.
There is plenty to like about the way the Black and Gold are playing now with seven games remaining on their schedule. But theres even more to like with the knowledge the Ottawa Senators are finally abating as a threat in the Northeast Division, and still trail by three points with Boston holding two games in hand.
But this has always been much more about the "Spoked B" tribe than those divisional pretenders surrounding them in orbit.
The Bruins once again look like themselves, and its arrived in time for the postseason run.
It starts, of course, with their bedrock players. Both Zdeno Chara and Tim Thomas again appear like their elite-level selves while pushing, pulling and cajoling the team to victory.
The Bruins goaltenders including a needed show of competence from Marty Turco finally started stopping pucks again with swagger and an air of dominance. Thomas and Turco posted a .948 save percentage over the three games despite getting outshot in each of the three West Coast games, and thats actually a normal hallmark of the Claude Julien defensive system when its adhered to correctly.
The defense in front of both goaltenders has locked down with a weak link named Corvo removed from the chain.
In fact, Greg Zanon has stepped in and proven himself to be a Black and Gold-style player with the Mark Stuart-style habit of crushing at least one opponent in every game that hes played. But the defense starts, begins and ends with one of the strongest men on the planet as Marty Turco called Zdeno Chara, and the Bs captain has reenergized by hitting his 1,000th NHL game milestone.
The iconic moment from the entire road trip had to be Chara dropping to one knee with little more than a minute to go against the Kings while protecting a one-goal lead, and then making a street goalie kick save to block a puck from reaching the net.
With Thomas and Chara once again in full working order which they most definitely had not been during the hairy parts of February and March everything has fallen into place as best it will for the Black and Gold.
But that also speaks to just how hard the 35-year-old Chara and the 37-year-old Thomas have had to work to get the Bs train back on the tracks. Chara is hustling, working hard and posting big ice time totals paired with Dennis Seidenberg, and has seemingly been in playoff mode since the beginning of March.
Thomas has played in 21 of the last 24 games including 16 straight appearances: he looks good now but nobody knows what kind of effect that will have once the Bruins burrow deep into their playoff bunker.
One sign of concern: the key players like Thomas and Chara are already taking on the gaunt, haggard appearance of players already in the middle of a playoff run and April hasnt even started.
One has to wonder how much the Bruins will actually have in the gas tank when things really start to matter in the playoffs, and thats been the same thats been asked since they began this years journey to repeat. It could all catch up to the Bruins when they have to dig down deep against a quality Eastern opponent like the Penguins or Rangers in the second round.
But thats a story for another day. On this day the Bruins beer mug looks half full and theyre once again rolling.
Rich Peverley returned to the fold Sunday and was in the middle of a couple of scoring chances in his first game back, and the winger provides Claude Julien with a hammer that will keep all his forwards playing hard.
After all its no coincidence Peverleys return to good health seemed to arrive simultaneously with the rise of a trio of third-line forwards that dont want to be throwing back popcorn in the press box once the playoff music starts playing.
The third line scoring and the overwhelming depth is so reminiscent of last years Bs team when coupled with goaltending and defense running at full efficiency that many of the Bruins players are understandably feeling dj vu.
After watching solid wins over the Flyers, Maple Leafs, Kings and Ducks over the last two weeks, the Bruins of yesteryear should start getting everybody optimistic.
Weve matured as a team and gained that killer instinct when games are won or lost, said Milan Lucic. Its feeling more like our game and we really got back to our style of playing in that home stand against Philly and Toronto. This Pacific road swing was a challenge and we were up for it. We need to keep this going. Thats for sure.
For the newcomers, theyre recognizing something special starting to build with the Bruins, and perhaps some new light has been shed on exactly how the Bs were able to run all the way to the Cup.
Its harder than ever to win the Cup and as the playoffs are fast approaching you can tell that the team is thinking along those tracks, said Marty Turco. The minds are curious in recalling how hard it was last year: winning three Game 7s, the big saves by Timmy and the big goals scored in the playoffs.
We all thought watching last year the Bruins were the best team. But its even harder to do it again. Thats why it hasnt been done in such a long time. But the leadership on this group and its starting with Zdeno to see the way he plays, the way he leads and the way he talks to these guys. You just follow in his footsteps and then you have Timmy playing the way he is. I think they can win again and Id be more than happy if they did.
It wont be easy and the Bruins have shown signs of wear all season, but theyre also starting to show that perhaps they have what it takes for another prolonged run of springtime hockey.

John Shannon Solves the Case of the Overlooked Books
As part of our ongoing Mystery Month coverage, we're asking authors who have been well reviewed by Booklist to recommend books by other writers that didn't get the attention they deserved. Today, John Shannon, whose star-to-review ratio would be the envy of practically anybody (he's 6 for 9), tells us why we should take another look at the work of Kent Anderson. (Shannon's latest, by the way, is On the Nickel, which Bill Ott calls, "Another winner in an outstanding series.") Here's Shannon's praise for his fellow writer:
One of the most convincing and most intense novels ever written on the day-to-day struggles of a policeman trying to do his job as an ethical and decent man, beset by enemies both inside and outside the police department — Kent Anderson's overlooked Night Dogs. There's never been another cop novel remotely like it. The novel is something of a sequel to Anderson's Sympathy for the Devil, which was for my money the best and darkest novel to come out of Viet Nam. His writing is so powerful that it can win you over completely and then carry you down into hell.

ST. PETERSBURG — Canterbury put together an impressive first half it clinched its first playoff berth Friday with a 29-0 victory over Keswick Christian.
Canterbury scored on its first possession when Jake Holsinger hooked up with DeSean Thomas on a 28-yard touchdown pass, then on a 38-yard reception to put it up 15-0 in the first quarter.
Keswick Christian moved the ball well on several drives but was unable to come away with any points. But Keswick Christian hurt itself with several turnovers.
Canterbury got two touchdowns from Brent O'Neal in the second quarter. He caught a 33-yard pass and later scored on an 8-yard run to boost the score to 29-0 at the half.
O'Neal finished with 19 carries for 80 yards and one rushing touchdown.
Holsinger was 5-for-10 for 122 yards with three touchdowns.

Oraya Therapeutics Inc. and OnCore Manufacturing LLC officials announce that production of the first commercial unit in the United States of the IRay Radiotherapy System for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of permanent vision loss in the industrialized world. IRay, the medical device at the core of Oraya Therapy, is CE marked and is currently available in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The first commercial production comes as Oraya and OnCore have signed a long-term contract to facilitate Oraya's continued expansion in Europe.
The IRay was developed to offer a non-invasive approach for treating wet AMD and to reduce the number of anti-vascular endothelial growth (anti-VEGF) injections into the eye that are the current standard of care. Typically, patients are monitored monthly and may require five to seven injections per year to maintain vision. Oraya Therapy is the only therapy option on the market today that has demonstrated the ability to reduce anti-VEGF injections while maintaining or improving vision.
"There is a critical need for new treatments for wet AMD, particularly those that can reduce the burden of anti-VEGF injections. The cost of monthly injections along with the high volume of patients requiring treatment place a strain on health care systems and providers, and are exceptionally difficult for patients and caregivers," states Oraya President and CEO Jim Taylor. "We anticipate that Oraya will rapidly ramp up production in the coming months as more clinics offer the therapy and patient awareness grows."
Oraya holds 44 patents associated with the IRay system, which consists of a low energy X-ray source that produces a highly collimated narrow beam designed to affect only the target area or lesion, with minimal scatter onto surrounding healthy tissue. A self-contained automated beam positioning system ensures the precise entry of energy into the eye, avoiding critical structures such as the lens and optic nerve. Specialized software ensures accurate treatment planning and precise beam positioning. A proprietary eye stabilization device, working with the beam positioning system, enables precise localization and tracking of the eye.
Key to the successful production of the IRay was Oraya's decision early in the commercialization process to partner with OnCore, enabling the company to focus on technology development, while leveraging OnCore's manufacturing and supply chain expertise at its Fremont, Calif., facility. Oraya, like a growing number of medical device and high technology companies, was looking to capitalize on the close proximity of its manufacturing partner to create an integrated IRay team that was able to reduce time-to-market.
"The medical device industry is looking for partners with exceptional engineering, supply-chain and manufacturing expertise, which they can leverage to accelerate their product commercialization process. Many are finding this expertise is here domestically," says OnCore President and CEO Sajjad Malik. "We worked hand-in-hand with Oraya to manufacture the IRay, and we're prepared to continue this close partnership as Oraya expands into new geographic markets."
"Our close proximity and partnership with the team at OnCore's Medical Center of Excellence manufacturing facility has allowed both companies to be very involved in the development and manufacture of the IRay, which has offered flexibility and most importantly, ensures our product is of the highest quality," Taylor adds.
The IRay is not available for sale in the USA. For more information, please visit www.orayainc.com.

Maybe one of these days, you'll be able to order a new car on Amazon and a drone will drop it at your house a few hours later. That may be a slight exaggeration, but you have to imagine that car dealers will not be thrilled to learn that there is something new today called Amazon Vehicles.
Why didn't they call it Amazon Autos? Partly because there is already an Amazon Automotive Store, which sells parts, accessories, and so forth and which seems destined to be merged into the new section.
Other than alliteration, there's not much missing from the new section of the Amazon site. You can't order a new car -- yet -- but you can order all kinds of parts, accessories, and supplies, and you can look up detailed specifications on just about every current model, as well as compare notes with others who have the car you're interested in.
Officially, Amazon is insisting Amazon Vehicles is just an information resource and accessories supplier.
Dealers feeling queasy?
"Our goal is to support customers during one of the most important, research-intensive purchases in their lives by helping them make informed decisions every step of the way," said Adam Goetsch, Director of Automotive at Amazon.com. "Amazon Vehicles is a great resource for customers who are interested in car information or looking for a broad selection of parts and accessories – all enhanced by the ability to tap into the knowledge, opinions, and experiences of other car owners within the Amazon customer community."
Dealers haven't had much to say about the development just yet, although Automotive News noted that Hyundai earlier partnered with Amazon for an on-demand test-drive program for the 2017 Elantra in Los Angeles and Orange County.
Called "Prime Now. Drive Now," the program let Prime members book test drives last weekend and will do the same next weekend. Prime members can sign up online and have the car delivered to their home, office, or a nearby coffee shop for a one-hour test drive.
It's a bit early for dealers to begin feeling angina over the announcement, although established auto sites like Cars.com and AutoTrader.com may be feeling a little queasy about now.
Dealers still have a lock on the new-car market, thanks to state laws that prohibit manufacturers from selling directly to consumers, although Tesla has managed to get around the restrictions in a few states.
Sites like Cars.com are similar to Amazon Vehicles but also enable consumers to buy used cars directly from each other and let dealers advertise their new cars online, and it's hard to think that Amazon won't be moving into that space pretty quickly.

(See Cover)
At the far end of a lobby-sized green-and-gold Hollywood office last week, a wiry, high-domed man gnawed a massive cigar, paced briskly back & forth, and spewed memoranda in a loud Midwestern twang. Occasionally, hypnotized by his own train of thought, he ducked briefly into an open anteroom behind his desk, to stalk an idea among the stuffed heads of a water hog and an antelope, the skins of a lion and a jaguar, the sawed-off feet of an elephant and a rhino. Working in relay, three stenographers dashed into the huge office to scribble notes, dashed out again to rush the words down through the hierarchy of the 20th Century-Fox Film Corp.
The memos ranged from a pep talk on meeting the threat of television ("Quality is the only answer") to a query on a line of dialogue ("Can we get by with the word 'louse'? I thought it was taboo"). One memo noted that the titles in a trailer for a new movie were a "trifle too lurid." Another instructed a producer shooting in London not to use fog in any more scenes, "as it is very uneven." Still another suggested putting a new writer on a story in preparation: "It would be a four-or five-week job at the most, but as long as we have such a wonderful plot, let's get a good writer." Studio executives would add the new memos to sheaves that already included orders on casting and admonitions about make-up and wardrobe tests (one actress wore too much lipstick, and another's bosom was "still too exaggerated").
His pale blue eyes hovering over everything from finances to falsies, Darryl F. Zanuck was warming up to another 18-hour day as production boss of 20th Century-Fox and pacesetter for the U.S. cinema. No longer the wonder boy who at 25 ran the Warner lot, Zanuck at 47 is something no less phenomenal. In 142 Ibs. and a carefully measured 5 ft. 6¾ in., he embodies what may be nature's ultimate effort to equip the species for outstanding success in Hollywood. Producer Zanuck is richly endowed with tough-mindedness, talent, an outsized ego, and a glutton's craving for hard work. These qualities, indulged with endless enthusiasm for a quarter-century, have not only sped him to the top but have somehow left him free of ulcers and in the pink of health.
Since the war, Zanuck's 20th Century-Fox has consistently led the field in the quality of its films, by the verdict of both the box office and the critics. Last year the company's 24 pictures, costing a total of $43 million, pulled in a gross of $94 millionbigger, Fox executives claim, than that of any other major studio in proportion to the number and cost of movies made. This year the studio is spending $45 million on 30 movies. As in the past, each of them, from story conferences to cutting room, will be shaped in large measurefor better or worseby the taste and imagination of Cinemogul Zanuck.

Oasis star lends support to the honeybee
Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has shown his soft side by coming out in support of a campaign to save the honeybee.
The former wildman of rock is speaking out about the plight of the endangered species as he believes the demise of the honeybee could lead to the end of humanity.
The singer told The Sun: "The bees are vanishing. We've got to save them before they all buzz off."
"Without them we're in proper bother."
The Britpop star was alerted to the campaign after honey helped cure him of the throat infection that forced Oasis to pull out of the V Festival and says he owes the quality of his unique voice to bees. "I like honey. If it weren't for honey, I'd have a rough voice."

If Scotland goes, will the Queen lose Australia too?
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
In a three-part series this week, Tim Judah assesses the very real chance that Scotland could vote for independence from the United Kingdom in a planned 2014 referendum — or at least a kind of semi-separation called "devo max" under which the government in Edinburgh would take over almost all domestic political responsibilities but leave national defence to London.
But, I know you are all anxiously wondering, what would this mean for Australia? Writing in the Herald-Sun, Victoria University Law Professor David Denton suggests that "An independent Scotland may yet create an Australian Republic." His argument, essentially, is that a United Kingdom without Scotland is no longer the same United Kingdom:
If the Parliament in Westminster wishes to pass legislation to facilitate a matter touching on the succession to the Crown of a new fashioned United Kingdom (as it must inevitably become) then the Parliament of Australia must give its consent to this as it will affect the law of Australia, not the least of which is our Constitution and our States.
The "United Kingdom" Australians agreed to federate under will no longer exist. A United Kingdom which is de jure separated is not the United Kingdom for Australian Constitutional purposes. It is possible to envisage an Australian constitutional vacuum existing if 'our' United Kingdom ceases to exist.
Whatever is to happen it seems that it is no longer a matter for Australians to simply await a re-agitation of the republic debate after the passing of the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
I'm not going to pretend to have any expertise here, but this smacks of wishful thinking to me, particularly if Scotland retains the queen as head of state. Suffice to say though, it's been a rough couple of months for the Empire.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will bring to an end the popular $3 billion Cash for Clunkers program Monday, giving car shoppers a few more days to take advantage of big government incentives.
The Transportation Department said Thursday that the government will wind down the program at 8 p.m. Monday. Car buyers can receive rebates of $3,500 or $4,500 for trading in older vehicles for new, more fuel-efficient models.
"It's been a thrill to be part of the best economic news story in America," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. "Now we are working toward an orderly wind-down of this very popular program."
Through Thursday, auto dealers have made deals worth $1.9 billion and are on pace to exhaust the program's $3 billion in early September. The incentives have generated more than 457,000 vehicle sales. Administration officials said they have reviewed nearly 40 percent of the transactions and have already paid out $145 million to dealers.
There are no plans to seek additional funding, administration officials said.
President Barack Obama said on Thursday that the program has been "successful beyond anybody's imagination" but that dealers were overwhelmed by the response of consumers.
He pledged that dealers "will get their money." The administration has said it has tripled the number of staffers sorting through the dealer paperwork.
Dealers have complained of delays in getting reimbursed and backlogs of vehicle paperwork getting processed in the program, which have led to a cash crunch. Dealers have said they face a risk of not being reimbursed, but LaHood has pledged that dealers will be paid.
On Thursday, both Chrysler and General Motors said they would begin providing cash advances to dealers to help cover any cash shortfalls related to the program.
Some dealers are no longer participating in the Clunker program. The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which represents dealerships in the New York metro area, said about half its 425 members had left the program because they cannot afford to offer more rebates.

"This combination of the Radiola 28 and the Radiola Loudspeaker 104 thus made available for the first time a complete batteryless radio receiver that could be operated like any other electrical appliance, merely by 'plugging it in.' The enthusiastic acceptance of this offering - even at the 1926 price of $250 for the 104 alone - indicated clearly that this was indeed what the public had been waiting for. This was also added fuel for the fires already lit under the development of new types of amplifier tubes especially adapted for a.c. operation, and the stampede toward their universal use in radio receivers gathered momentum quickly during 1926-1928. With the completion of the changeover to a.c. operation, the whole radio industry experienced the same kind of explosive release that follows removal of the key log in a jam, and into discard along with headphones and batteries went the last barrier between radio reception and a mass market that was soon demanding electro-acoustic transducers by the millions."

microsoft plans to end volume discount programs for windows 95, 98, and me at various times next year. while some analysts feel that this change is microsoft's attempt to bump up demand for the windows 2000 product (which is selling much slower than anticipated), ms officials say the change had been planned for some time in recognition of the high corporate demand for windows 2000.
corporations can currently buy ms apps and operating systems as part of different discount programs. the changes ms began announcing on friday affect the select, open, and enterprise agreement discount deals, which give varying discounts on products bought for more than 5 pcs. on march 1, windows me comes off the discount programs; on june 30, windows 95 and 98 will not be discounted, and will only be available "through retail outlets, reseller deals and preloaded by pc sellers." corporate customers who already bought these oses under the select or open discount plans will lose discount privileges for them starting january 1.
one of the reasons fewer businesses than expected have upgraded their desktops to win2k pro is that the os doesn't offer all of its new capabilities if servers aren't upgraded to win2k server or advanced server as well. thus, many businesses are still running older, "consumer" versions of windows.
for more information, please see cnet.
sam's opinion
i wonder if the microsoft execs truly think they're fooling anyone with this move. it does seem kind of hard to believe that volume discount programs for consumer versions of windows are being cut off because business customers are demanding win2k. after all, win2k sales are taking part of the blame for microsoft's profit warning last week. think about it: if win2k demand were actually as high as microsoft wants us to believe, why would it make a difference to take older windows versions off a discount program? wouldn't the corporations who were clamoring for win2k just go ahead and buy win2k licenses, regardless of how much winme licenses cost?
it's completely obvious that microsoft is doing this to push companies into buying win2k and upgrading their desktops and servers. by cutting winme out of the discount structure on march 1, ms is basically telling businesses, "hey, if you want a new operating system you either have to make your decision to go to winme in the next two months or buy win2k sometime after that." either way, ms boosts its revenue stream (which it badly needs to do to avoid further profit warnings), and this will probably get corporations thinking about their next os upgrade, which will probably make more it departments tell their bosses to buy win2k, since it is better than winme.
if you work at a company that's still running windows 95, any upgrade will make you happy. if you work in an it department supporting a large company the hassle of upgrading desktops is never welcome (especially since even minor upgrades usually involve some sort of user training to show folks the new features), so you might as well hope that win2k is the next upgrade so that you don't have to do an upgrade to win98 or winme now and then another upgrade to win2k sometime shortly after that. so when the boss comes to you and says, "we have to make a decision on the next windows upgrade by the end of january," you might as well tell her or him, "go win2k, since you'll never convince management to go for linux." why cause more trouble for yourself? even though ms isn't fooling anyone with this "we're responding to corporate demand" crap, it's a very smart move and will definitely push businesses into a faster upgrade path.
i wonder if old versions of office will see the same treatment sometime soon? i'd say that's a pretty good possibility.

|antitrust or bust (10:21am est mon dec 18 2000)
i do recall that one of the issues brought against microsoft in the never ending antitrust case was one of them providing volume discounts. the opposition was saying that microsoft was abusing its market position by selling software bundles at discounts if ordered in volume thereby not allowing the small pc manufacturer to compete with the big one. i thought it was ludicrous then since volume pricing is a principle of economics, but it seems as if microsoft can make the courts happy and still line their own pockets. – by some more
|hardware compatibility (10:31am est mon dec 18 2000)
let's not forget the impact of w2k on the machines themselves. when i upgraded to w2k, many of my hardware cards were no longer compatible with my o/s despite the fact that they claimed to be "nt 5.0" compatible at the time of purchase. – by by
|software compatability (11:02am est mon dec 18 2000)
i didn't have a problem with hardware, but not all of our software works. i work for an engineering firm & unfortunatley some of the design progs supplied to us have not been upgraded much past dos (take carrier's progs for example, they make hundreds of $ for dos software written in 1992, why update it?). w2k will have to run these and other progs that are similar before every company switches over. – by meprules
|geez… (11:07am est mon dec 18 2000)
by: what kind of hardware are you dealing with? i just finished installing win2k on some fifty-odd machines at work and haven't had any problems. these aren't fancy new boxes either- some of 'em are 266mhz pentium-class dinosaurs with ancient isa parallel/serial port cards and the like. – by xyzzy
|nt40 (11:30am est mon dec 18 2000)
we use nt4.0 on all our worksation and most notebooks. windows98 is used on a few notebooks for usb comatibility. – by pred-r
|fancy hardware has problems (11:37am est mon dec 18 2000)
the only problems i had was with my usb cd burner from mitsumi, the worst company in the world. most incompatibilities are with exotic hardware and low-level software like cd-burning suites.
about the volume licensing, i disagree with you, sam. all corporations should be running nt or win2k in the corporate environments. windows me should have never reared its ugly head outside of the home sphere. this is only a good thing. as your redhat article pointed out the problems with fragmentation, the windows community needs to avoid that. we should all be running one os for each function. we have problems at work because the developers run nt & 2k and our bosses run 98. when a boss's computer has problems, none of us developers know how to fix it because our machines never have the same problem. win 9x should have died 3 years ago with the proliferation of nt. now, hardware companies will focus on developing drivers for win 2k instead of 9x. i am very happy. to all you nay-sayers, remember that any computer can easily run 9x and nt. all of my software runs better on 2k. 99% of my hardware functions (although some of the older stuff doesn't have all the features enabled). try w2k before bashing it. – by steven
|w2k, w9x, red hat (12:40pm est mon dec 18 2000)
i work on a variety of miscellanous machines. i like w2k, but it is not without its problems. about 8 of the w2k boxes i work on have a via usb incompatibility, and to get those to work i disabled the usb support in the bios.
w9x, good all around computer for home use, but it is by far what i spend most of my time fixing. usecure and lousy. i do have a 2 gig partition of w98 for gaming though. that's the best (so far). i have not tried wme, so i have comment on that.
red hat 6.2, i have to spend a little time researching, but these boxes are very stable and make great mini-servers for the older (slower) boxes. i guess they just pissed of the linux community though.
my point? we pay way to much for microsoft products. why, its because that is what everyone (office users) is used too. however, like myself, people will experiment, learn, perpetuate other os's because they don't want to pay big for bad bloatware. m$ karma is going to catch up with them. check this out:

the previous user has a great point, just wait for whistler. i'm beta testing it, and it was so much better the w2k. just wait untill whistler comes out, it's the home user and business's os combined into 1. – by nickyhaha
|whistling the same old tune…. (9:59pm est tue dec 19 2000)
microsoft has been saying "our next os will unify the corporate and home user core into one os" ever since i can remember. well, since 95 anyway, and the hype picked up even more for w2k, and now even more for "whistler". i truly hope they actually do it, but how can they justify that, using their own business model? i mean, take a person who dual boots between 2000 and 98 for stability and to play games. that person spent money (theoretically, anyway) on two operating systems, at the bloated prices ms charges. they're gonna sacrifice that for the sake of innovation, and forward thinking? i doubt it. – by brian l

Mangled language

Karen used to think the Spanish phrase "adios amigo" was really the name of some guy in sound production, "Audio Samigo." We both thought, as youngsters, that Yosemite (the native Miwok word that names a famous National Park in the U.S.) was pronounced "yose mite," a mistake I still occasionally make today. When I was a kid I thought "buenos noches" was "buenos snowshoes," which made no sense to me since Mexico does not have a snowy climate. And then there is "potpourri," adapted from a French word and used in English to mean any collection of miscellaneous or diverse items. Every other time I see it, my brain urges my mouth to shout "pot poorey" with a strong first syllable emphasis. This is a condition common to native Texans who attack every word with such conviction and confidence that no other syllable than the first ever has hope of achieving pronunciation prominence. INsurance, BAnana, UMbrella, LEderhosen (or really, "LAter hosen") are commonly heard from old-time Texans. We'll, maybe not lederhosen, unless you're near New Braunfels or Fredricksburg, Texas.
None of this pronunciation thing mattered all that much when I was just writing for the dW newsletter. But now that I'm podcasting, I wonder when one of these showstopping, cred

PUSH BACK! Kansas, Missouri respond to Eric Holder Threat
Not backing down. Will Texas join them on Saturday too?
In response to Eric Holder's threat against Kansas for its new gun control nullification bill, there have already been two official responses from Kansas. Plus the Missouri legislature provided some needed backup too.
1. Kansas Secretary of State Kobach responds, draws a line in the sand.
"With respect to his concern that federal officials be allowed to enforce federal laws, Mr. Holder's statement is a curious one. He was evidently not concerned that ATFE officials be allowed to enforce federal law when his agency oversaw the "fast and furious" operation to walk guns into the hands of Mexican cartels."
READ IT HERE: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/kobach
2. Kansas Governor Sam Brownback responds, not backing down
Thanks Holder for his opinion, asserts the authority of the people. "The people of Kansas have clearly expressed their sovereign will."
READ IT HERE: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/brownback
3. Missouri legislature backs them up. A day after Holder's threat, the Missouri Senate passed their version of the 2nd amendment Preservation Act by a veto-proof majority – effectively thumbing their nose at the AG.
READ IT HERE: http://tenthamendmentcenter.com/missouriHB436
4. Will Texas join in? On Saturday, the Texas House will vote on HB928, a bill that would make most federal gun control measures "nearly impossible to enforce."

The Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee is turning up the heat with this year's promotional partnership with Weber grills.
The promotion had its introduction at the Produce Marketing Association Foodservice Conference and Expo in July.
"We're getting a huge amount of buzz already," said Sherise Jones, marketing director.
The event included the committee's executive chef Nick Duncan, who was on hand to provide demonstrations of several grill recipes on a Weber griddle at the show.
"We were definitely one of the crowd favorites," Jones said.
Jones said the committee chose to focus on Weber after selecting a grilling platform.
"Our message has always been that we grow a premium onion for cooking, with high solid content and low water, and it just seemed that more and more people are enjoying grilling at home for a variety of reasons," she said.
Some of these reasons include the slower economy, but others stem from new programs on food channels that are entirely devoted to grilling and great grilling recipes.
"We wanted to capitalize on that trend of enjoying grilled food, and it works great for us because our onions are so great when they are cooked," Jones said.
The committee began discussions with Weber in March, according to Jones, and was pleased when the company was interested.
"They've done a lot of promotions with other food entities, but they haven't done an onion entity. They liked our concept and felt comfortable with our flavor profile, and they were on board to supply these items for us," she said .
The promotion will include several different contests and sweepstakes, as well as in store displays, recipes and other events, beginning with the opportunity for produce retailers to feature a Weber grill in their stores as part of a dynamic display.
"We're offering free charcoal kettle grills to retailers that would like to use a grill in the produce section for an onion display," Jones said.
There will only be a limited number of grills to give out, and they will be available from September to December, while they last, according to Jones.
The second aspect of giving retailers these grills is the display contest.
This contest is set to begin Dec. 15, the start of football bowl season, and will run through the Super Bowl in early February.
The timing of onion season fits especially well with the football season, according to Jones, and because of that, the committee has focused on promoting their onions through "home-gating."
"The phrase was coined by the NFL as a way to appeal to women and families that support the NFL but don't have the opportunity to be at the game. We're using that phrase as a way to encourage people to grill, and utilize onions of course, while they are watching the game at home," Jones said.
Consumers also have chances to win prizes as part of this promotion by entering an online drawing by registering online.
"The cool thing is that when consumers enter online, they will also enter the retailer's info when they register so the retailers can win the same prize the consumer winds," Jones said.
Each week, the committee plans to give away a Weber cookbook, and there will be a monthly drawing for a grill each month.
The committee also plans to host giveaways on its Facebook page.
"There will be even more prizes given away there," Jones said. "We're going to be doing random drawings daily for a Weber cookbook and we'll also be drawing weekly for a Weber charcoal grill."
Consumers can also request free Weber recipe cards online at www.usaonions.com.
"We hope to have them available until Super Bowl Sunday, Jones said.
"Our industry and our area have never been as jazzed about a promotion program as this one," Jones said of the partnership with Weber.

Especially in asian rhinoplasty, it is difficult to build the bridge with just ear/septal cartilage. Because there are problems with using rib/cadaveric cartilage, is it possible to just grow one's own cartilage in a cell culture if there isnt enough cartilage to be harvested?
Is It Possible to Grow Cartilage Cell Cultures for Rhinoplasty if There Isn't Enough?

Using Cartilage Grafts grown in Culture for Nose Surgery
Growing your own cartilage graft in rhinoplasty not a reality yet
Tissue culture has advanced in skin coverage for burns, and cartilage grafts may be on the horizon. None are yet available to cultured grafts for rhinoplasty. Just think of the potential for joint repair when we succeed!

Cartilage cell culture for rhinoplasty use
Current technology does not allow us to grow cartilage in a petri dish. At this point, the patients nasal cartilage is what's available for cosmetic surgery. With Asian rhinoplasty there is usually not enough cartilage on the inside of the nose, so augmentation requires a synthetic implant. We prefer the silastic Flowers nasal dorsal implant made by Implantech.

The use of stem cells is being intensively studied by numerous investigators. There is currently no study for the use of cartilage grown from stem cells to be implanted in a person in the United States.
Asian Rhinoplasty and Cartilage Grafting
Great idea. But, unfortunately, science is just not quite there yet. There are many great minds working on this exact thing. In fact, some of the leaders in the field of cartilage engineering are here in San Diego working at UCSD. Until this technology advances sufficiently, you may want to consider having a rib graft (autologous or cadaveric) to augment your nasal bridge during rhinoplasty.

CARLTON, Western Bulldogs and Fremantle have emerged as potential suitors for former Hawk Mitch Thorp as his bid to revive his AFL career gathers momentum.
Four years after being dumped by Hawthorn after only two senior games, a more mature and settled Thorp is desperate for another chance to play at the highest level.
It is understood the Blues, the Bulldogs and the Dockers have all made legitimate inquiries about the 24-year-old forward. Gold Coast and Brisbane have also held some interest.
The one-time No. 6 national draft selection (2006) is the captain-coach of South Launceston, which won the Tasmanian State League premiership this season.
He won the league best-and-fairest award, was third in the goalkicking and is seen a ready-made player in what is believed to be a shallow draft beyond the first round.
"There has been a bit of interest from a number of clubs," Thorp's manager James Pitcher said yesterday.
"He got through a full season with his body this year, which shows he is sound, and he managed to captain-coach a team that had never played finals before.
"His maturity levels have really come on. He has a perspective of what he did wrong in the first opportunity he got (at Hawthorn) and he is desperate to get another chance to show that he can play at this level."
Injuries, a lack of opportunities and a questionable work ethic cost Thorp in his short-lived stint with the Hawks.
But after interviews with a few clubs, it is understood some believe he has matured enough to be worth a low-risk punt in a draft that lacks quality at the back end.
Pitcher said Thorp's switch to coaching had also allowed him to see the game in a different light.
"His off-field stuff is in check with his on-field stuff now," Pitcher said. "He has got a fiance and a young kid now. He is desperate to get another shot at it."
Thorp played with Werribee in the VFL after leaving Hawthorn, but went back to Tasmania to play with his brothers at South Launceston.
The 194cm forward played two AFL matches - one in 2007 and another in 2009 - but struggled to break into a strong Hawthorn line-up.
He kicked a goal in his first match, but was out injured the following week.
And he didn't get his next chance until 2009 when he was last-minute replacement in a match against Sydney.
Later that year he broke a bone in his foot that ruled him out for the rest of the year, with the Hawks delisting him at season's end.

About the Author
Iman Abdallah Al-Qaisi (Iman Jasim) was born on February 22, 1961 in Baghdad, Iraq. She was raised in a practicing Muslim family, but was different from her other siblings. She loved Islam. She loved everything about it. She did not like to spend any time away from the Mosque or religious study circles. She worked very hard to gain as much knowledge about Islam as she could and was eager to apply what she learned.

I just installed my Hyfire II. Thanks for the help in finding one down in Mass., Jerry. After starting the coal and setting the thermostat the coal on the right side is up about 4 or more inch and not burning as hot as the left. The coal on the left is about 1 1/2 " from bottom and burning well.
Is there any adjustment that I need to make so that they are both equal ? Therm. is set at 48 max. and 6 min. It seemed to work fine when it was being started in fr 10

Sweden could rest Zlatan Ibrahimovic
STOCKHOLM -- The much-anticipated showdown between Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Argentina-Sweden friendly on Wednesday may not last more than a half.
Sweden coach Erik Hamren has suggested he will use Ibrahimovic sparingly as he has a busy club schedule coming up with Paris Saint-Germain.
"I'll be more careful with those who have Champions League matches next week," Hamren said. "It's an extra special situation for (Ibrahimovic) since he has a match Friday with his club team."
PSG has a league game Friday followed by a Champions League quarterfinal match at Valencia four days later. Messi has a less hectic program: a league match with Barcelona on Sunday but no Champions League action until Feb. 20.
Messi has 34 league goals for Barcelona this season while Ibrahimovic leads the French league's scoring table with 20.
While both players have faced criticism in the past of underperforming for their national teams, recently they have delivered for both club and country.
Messi scored 12 goals, including two hat tricks, in nine matches for Argentina last year. With a total of 31 goals for the national team, the four-time Ballon d'Or winner is now closing in on Diego Maradona's career tally of 33. Gabriel Batistuta is Argentina's all-time top scorer with 54.
Ibrahimovic -- Messi's teammate at Barcelona in the 2009-10 season -- scored four times the last time he put on the national jersey in a 4-2 win over England. That game will be remembered for his last goal, an acrobatic overhead kick from outside the penalty box that will be hard to top on Wednesday at Friends Arena outside Stockholm.
Argentina is coming to Sweden with a top-notch squad, with Messi combining up front with Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero.
Midfielder Enzo Perez was injured in a league game with Benfica over the weekend and didn't join the Argentine squad in Stockholm.
Defenders Mikael Antonsson and Joel Ekstrand withdrew from Sweden's squad, and will be replaced by Per Nilsson and Rasmus Bengtsson.

THERE are fears over the shortages of GPs across the south after a new survey reveals 30 per cent of practices are under-staffed.
It was conducted by Wessex Local Medical Committees (LMC), which represents over 3000 GPs working in 480 practices across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Bath, North East Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.
It found that 30 per cent of surgeries are short of GPs, and in the past 12 months 66 per cent had a GP vacancy, and of those, 28 per cent failed to recruit. It also revealed that 54 per cent had a Practice Nurse vacancy in the past 12 months, and 20 per cent failed to fill the position, with 27 per cent of surgeries currently short of Practice Nurses.
Dr Nigel Watson, chief executive of Wessex LMC, said the findings came as no surprise.
"The results should be a wake-up call to all," he said.
"For many practices the problem of recruitment goes beyond just GPs. Practice Managers have been saying for some time that their job has become impossible, with more bureaucracy, rising workload and reduced funding. It is therefore no surprise that in the next 12 months over 20 per cent of managers plan to leave the profession or reduce their commitment."
He added: "General practice is facing the greatest challenge in a generation. Solutions need to be found urgently, if not the result would be unthinkable."
The results were gathered by surveying individual GPs and practice managers.

Pierre provides spark in Dodgers' win
Pierre provides spark in Dodgers' win
Loosely translated, that means Pierre hasn't become a pain in the neck, which is always an option for a benched veteran, but not for someone of Pierre's solid makeup.
It doesn't mean Pierre is happy with a reduced role, but whatever is going on in his head isn't interfering with his game, as he showed Thursday when the Dodgers beat the Marlins, 5-3, with a ninth-inning rally to extend their win streak to six.
Getting a rare start against one of his former teams, Pierre doubled in two runs, scored a third and had a sacrifice bunt to help set up the winning rally. Pierre said he had to contribute offensively after taking the blame for Florida's first run when he misjudged a popup by Matt Treanor into a third-inning single.
Afterwards, he carefully explained how he balances the disappointment of being the fourth outfielder (since Andruw Jones' acquisition) with being the hard-working pro that he is.
"It's a big adjustment, and of course I'm not happy with it, but pouting won't do any good," said Pierre, who has six more RBIs than the slumping Jones in 33 fewer at-bats. Pierre is batting .273, Jones .159.
Pierre's agent exchanged voicemails with Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti around the end of Spring Training, when Pierre learned he wouldn't be starting. Otherwise, Pierre won't talk about whether he wants to be a Dodger, despite being in the second year of a five-year contract.
"He's smart enough to understand that if he's concerned with things he has no control over, it will affect everybody," said Torre. "He's a good team player."
But after pretty much doing what was expected of him last year (.293, 96 runs, 64 steals) only to lose his job, Pierre did say that he doesn't want to sit on the bench.
"What can I do? Try to play hard and it's just one of those things I've got to deal with until something works itself out," Pierre said, an apparent reference to a trade that would resolve the outfield jam. "If you know me and my history, I'm a guy that plays every day, lefty, righty, and I always have.
"I don't see myself as a bench player. I'm not accepting it, not by any means. It's their decision. They make out the lineup."
Torre made out an unusual one for this early day game after a night game, sitting Jones, James Loney and Jeff Kent. But that didn't stop the Dodgers from a second consecutive sweep.
Matt Kemp delivered a clutch RBI single in the ninth and the Dodgers added an insurance run when the Marlins -- who came into the series in first place, but didn't play like it -- committed two errors on the same play.
The ninth started with the second walk of the game to Rafael Furcal (the Dodgers had eight walks) and Pierre bunted him to second. Kemp stroked a single to right off losing pitcher Kevin Gregg and eventually came around to score when the Marlins got sloppy on defense.
"He was trying to sink the ball in and I just stayed short trying to inside-out the pitch," said Kemp. "Me and [hitting coach Mike] Easler have been trying to get me to push it that way. It worked, I guess."
That gave the win to reliever Joe Beimel, his third victory in the last four games, even though in this one he made only one pitch. That was 84 pitches fewer than were delivered by starter Hiroki Kuroda, who took the no-decision because of one pitch -- he hung a slider for a two-run tying homer in the fifth inning by former Dodger Cody Ross, letting a 3-1 lead get away.
Otherwise, Kuroda threw his best game since his debut in San Diego, allowing five hits in seven innings with four strikeouts and no walks.
"Kuroda was terrific," said Torre. "His pitch count was as good as the first time he pitched. He pitched well enough to win."
Takashi Saito struck out a pair in a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his second save of the series and fourth of the year.
"His location the last two times out has been right on the money," said Torre.

Each retailer violated Florida law, banned from ever selling lottery again
Three Pompano Beach, Florida, stores that sold lottery tickets violated state law and won't ever be allowed to sell tickets again, Florida Lottery officials announced Monday.
Officials said in a news release that the three stores, which were raided this month, also broke lottery rules and the terms of their contract.
The news release did not specify which laws were broken or whether any legal action would be taken against the owners. Lottery Assistant Secretary David Bishop said the lottery would not provide any more details.
At least one owner said he's done nothing wrong, has not been contacted by lottery officials and wants to keep selling lottery tickets.
The three stores, each within a short drive of one another in the same hard-edged Pompano Beach neighborhood, were cited last month in a local investigation.
The investigation revealed that some people might be winning the lottery too often, against astronomical odds. Other states found frequent winners to be store clerks stealing winning tickets from customers, ticket "brokers" who cashed in tickets for people seeking to avoid debts and criminals using the lottery to launder money. (See Florida Lottery announces changes in response to reports of repeat winners, Lottery Post, Apr. 3, 2014.)
One of the stores, the Akel Market at 502 N.W. Sixth St., was the top source of winning tickets for the lottery's most prolific winner.
Louis Tillman Johnson, of Pompano Beach, cashed in 252 lottery tickets worth $600 or more between October 2007 and August 2013. He collected more than $719,000 in winnings. Fifty-three of his tickets were sold at Akel Market.
The other stores, the Georgia Market at 1404 N.W. Sixth Ave. and the Kwik Stop Food Store at 617 Hammondville Road, also were big sources of tickets for Johnson, who said he never actually won.
Johnson, 68, said somebody had been cashing in tickets in his name and sticking him with the tax bill. He said on the day of the April 2 raids, he was visited by police and told not to say anything. He said he did not hear from any lottery or law enforcement official on Monday.
The manager of Georgia Market said he has heard nothing official from the lottery, just rumors.
"They're accusing us of cashing in tickets under the table," Faisal Memen, 33, said after the raid.
He and his employees have done nothing wrong, he said Monday.
"What's unfair is unfair," Memen said. "Hopefully, they'll realize it sooner or later and come to their senses."
He has petitioned them to have the machines reinstalled, since business has dropped 15 percent to 20 percent in their absence, he estimated.
Memen manages the store's day-to-day operations, but it's owned by Tariq Bazian, 27. Bazian owns and manages a check-cashing business inside the store.
Bazian said after the April 2 raid that he thinks the lottery suspects stores acted as brokers, collecting winning tickets to help winners avoid taxes. He said his store employees have done nothing wrong.
"It's a big deal for nothing," he said.
Both men said they didn't know Johnson, who lives in the neighborhood and is a regular at Akel Market.
Lottery officials said the decision to permanently revoke the store's ability to sell lottery tickets was based on interviews and records.
"The integrity of the Florida Lottery is essential. The taxpayers of this state demand it, and so do I," Florida Lottery Secretary Cynthia O'Connell said in a statement. "We expect that each of our retailers abide by the code of integrity outlined in their contract with the lottery. When they don't, our responsibility to our players and this organization is to end our relationship with that retailer."
The lottery said its investigation started in August, but lottery officials did not seize the machines from the stores until after local media published the first story on March 30.
The investigation found that the lottery wasn't following some of the industry's best practices, including asking winners whether they own or work for stores that sell lottery tickets. Six of the 10 most prolific winners were owners or clerks at stores that sold lottery tickets but none worked at the three convenience stores targeted Monday.
Afterward, the lottery announced some changes, which included adopting software to track frequent winners and installing more self-checking machines at its outlets.

Good job. Start weeding them out, and letting others know that somebody might be watching them.
I said it before and I will say it again, those 4king dishonest clerks, are gonna end up making everybody else in that line of work look like crap.

Having Money Solves Problems That Not Having Money Creates ****John Carlton****
Interesting...no more details?
Is this being tough on crime, or just the appearance of being tough on crime?
California tells vendor's why they being shut down. They send a shot across the vendor's bow. Amongst their violations: lying about the true worth of the ticket- in this case,scratchers. Charging a percentage to cash your scratcher tickets for less to avoid child support payments. Florida should be up front and spill the beans, after all- its pointless closing the barn door once the animal has taken off.
Florida should go public with everything they have.
They look just as shady as the crooks by keeping everything secret.
Makes it look like they don't want anybody knowing how lax they've been on enforcement for so long.
wow its not like florida is a poor state. to run such a shoddy operation,.
The investigation found that the lottery wasn't following some of the industry's best practices, including asking winners whether they own or work for stores that sell lottery tickets. Six of the 10 most prolific winners were owners or clerks at stores that sold lottery tickets
both suggest Florida lotto are just really slack at due dilligence but are geting on the case now, and that theyre really worried by missing taxes payments of debt

" Still swinging, still missing " 2014 = -1016; 2015= -1409; 2016 = -1171; 2017 = ? TOT = -3596: JAN= -

I agree. It looks very bad for them to come out and say, "we caught these guys breaking the law but we won't tell you what law." It definately looks like they have something to hide and just causes more distrust.
Most states know crooks are cashing lottery tickets to laundry drug money or help some players avoid taxes and child support but unless they can save more money than it cost to correct the problem it doesn't make economic sense to do anything about it.
* you don't need to buy more tickets, just buy a winning one *
NO news here.. This goes on all over the Country...
Apparently the State of Florida didn't charge any of these retailers with a crime, but the Lottery Secretary found them guilty of breaking her code of integrity and probably a result of the "repeat winners investigation".
"Louis Tillman Johnson, of Pompano Beach, cashed in 252 lottery tickets worth $600 or more between October 2007 and August 2013."
And it looks like he or another repeat winner cashed some more tickets after the lottery was investigated because of the repeat winners.
"Johnson, 68, said somebody had been cashing in tickets in his name and sticking him with the tax bill."
That is interesting because it began six years ago.
The investigation found that the lottery wasn't following some of the industry's best practices, including asking winners whether they own or work for stores that sell lottery tickets.
If they release the full report, everyone will see The Lottery was at fault as well.
Yep, they don't want to lose that extra revenue from clerks and owners playing.
Just like a business with unsafe operations, if the fine is small, they will continue to operate unsafe conditions and just pay the fine as a cost of doing business.
DRAMATIZATION: (fictional, for entertainment only) Lottery Asst- "Chief, this clerk scandal is growing and doesn't seem to be going away." Lottery Chief- "Yeah, the dang media and nosey newspapers got everyone all worked up." Lottery Asst- "What do we do?" Lottery Chief- "Let's throw 'em a bone. Take the top 3 stores and kill their contracts." Lottery Asst- "What do we say when people ask why they were shut down?" Lottery Chief- "They don't need to know. It's our rules and we can just say they violated them." Lottery Asst- "But the media will ask for more details." Lottery Chief- "Tell them we won't provide any more details. In a few weeks they'll be on to the next story." Lottery Asst- "Got it Chief, consider it done."
Bet they didn't ask if you bought the ticket when you cashed your $1500 OCL winner because I was never asked in Ohio or in another state. And based on the lottery ads to buy tickets as "stocking stuffers" at Christmas, it has to be legal to cash a ticket we didn't buy. The reason a player would sell a lottery ticket at less than face value might make them a crook, but if buying and/or selling anything at more or less than face value is illegal, we're all guilty.
We might be very skeptical if a stranger offered us half the value of a $5000 pick-4 winning ticket just for cashing it, but are we breaking any laws by cashing it?
"Louis Tillman Johnson, of Pompano Beach, cashed in 252 lottery tickets worth $600 or more between October 2007 and August 2013. He collected more than $719,000 in winnings. Fifty-three of his tickets were sold at Akel Market."
That's an average of 42 tickets a year and The Florida Lottery should have investigated after one person cashed 42 tickets in 2007.
"If they release the full report, everyone will see The Lottery was at fault as well."
If one person cashing multiple tickets is against the lottery rules or a state law, the lottery is at fault, but the story doesn't say if any laws or rules were broken. I believe Jon D has it correct when he suggested the lottery suspended the top three retailers because of the media heat. Any state lottery can create rules preventing store owners and employees from buying lottery tickets, but they better tell the players "all lottery sales are final" because it would be illegal for the store to buy mistakes.
"Bet they didn't ask if you bought the ticket when you cashed your $1500 OCL winner because I was never asked in Ohio or in another state."
They didn't have to ask because a local retailer(where I brought it) had to verify my winning ticket and help me fill out paper work which included that information along the information necessary to receive a W-2G at the end of the year before I could collect my winnings from a local authorized bank.
My $1500 ticket was worth about $1200 after I payed the Federal, State and City taxes, it might had been worth less to someone not retired who had a larger income. I'm guessing I would have been lucky to get $1000 for it if I had wanted to hide the fact that I won it.

More travelers are booking cruise vacations and paying more for the getaways, a welcome sign for an industry that's struggled to keep its cabins full, executives at Carnival Corp. said Tuesday.
In the past nine weeks, reservations for the next nine months climbed 8 percent at the company that owns the Carnival, Princess and Holland America cruise lines. But the prices passengers were paying for their cruise vacations climbed 17 percent.
That's still below where it was before carriers started slashing prices to tempt travelers to come aboard. But it's a welcome sign of recovery for the industry that's seen its per-passenger profit plunge.
"We've been surprised," said Howard Frank, the cruise line's vice chairman and chief operating officer. "We didn't expect it to come back this dramatically. Whether we can sustain these kinds of levels as we increase pricing and whether we can sustain the booking volume is the next question."
Citi Investment Research analyst Greg Badishkanian said the trends showed "positive signs."
For the first quarter, which ended Feb. 28, Carnival's profit fell 33 percent - dragged down as fuel costs soared.
But its revenue crept up, climbing 8 percent and both figures were better than expectations.
Carnival posted net income of $175 million, or 22 cents per share. During the same period last year, the company earned $260 million, or 33 cents per share.
This year's results included a one-time gain of 5 cents per share from the sale of a ship.
Revenue climbed to $3.10 billion from $2.86 billion.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected the Miami company to earn 14 cents per share with revenue of $3.09 billion. Those estimates typically exclude the impact of one-time items.
In the first quarter, Carnival paid nearly 80 percent more for fuel than it did during the same period in 2009. That cost the company the equivalent of 22 cents per share.
Looking ahead, Carnival executives said rising fuel prices and the weak dollar will cut into results. But they expect the company's full-year profit to be better than expected as passengers continue to pay more for tickets and it continues to cut costs.
The cruise line expects a full-year profit between $2.25 and $2.35 per share - up from its December forecast of $2.10 per share to $2.30 per share.
Carnival shares rose 62 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $38.53 in midday trading Tuesday. Competitor Royal Caribbean also got a boost, with shares increasing $1.45, or 4.6 percent, to $32.88.

French Start-Ups Worry About Hollande's Priorities
New administrations are times of both optimism and uncertainty, and France's new breed of digital entrepreneurs are watching closely how President-elect François Hollande is going to help them; many are skeptical.
Not, say many of Paris's start-ups, that he has that difficult an act to follow. "My experience with [President] Sarkozy was that in the first four years [of Mr. Sarkozy's presidency] most of his measures were about regulation and considering the Internet as an enemy," said Tariq Krim, the pensive chief executive of Jolicloud, a cloud-based application that brings together your Web apps, files and services all in one place.
So against that backdrop, there isn't a huge expectation that Mr. Hollande is going to do much to improve things. The Wall Street Journal Europe spoke to a number of French digital start-ups to gauge their reaction to the French election.

Jeans that wink when the fabric gets caught in your butt.
On the one hand, this is easily the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in my life. On the other hand, I've been in a foul mood today, and this is the first thing that's made me even come close to laughing. Also, it's jeans week here at Deal Divas, so... here we go.
"Winkers" are jeans with eyeballs painted on the butt folds. When you walk, your massive mounds of assfat gather the fabric and squish it together like something out of a terrible horror movie from the 70s. Winkers also come in fabulous styles including "Duck, "Movie Clapboard," and "Owl."
I just... I feel like... How can a person...
Here's the thing. I choose to live by a code that prohibits me from wearing anything that calls attention to my cavernous butt crevices by utilizing illustrations of water fowl or hilarious cliche film props. See, I want my butt to remain an attractive mystery shrouded in a solid wash, not something that screams, "HEY MISTER, I HAD AN ENTIRE DIGIORNO FOR LUNCH TODAY! WINK WINK!"
I need a drink.
Watch the video.

Rockstar…Imtiaz Ali is who I think of even before Ranbir Kapoor (like it should be, but isn't always. case in example, here's a rapid fire question for you – who's film is Ra.One?). Imtiaz Ali has a 2 out of 2 track record for me. I haven't watched Socha Na Tha yet. Yes, yes, will correct that error before I watch Rockstar, I promise. But anyway, the one phrase preview for Rockstar would be – "Looking forward to it! Period."
Update: Read this author's review of Rockstar here.
But it gets better. I set out to watch the promotional videos and unlike many "mainstream/big" films, each of them adds to my curiousity and knowledge about the film. For example, I'm already half-way convinced about the chemistry between Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri. I felt for Ranbir Kapoor's character just by seeing his encounter with tragedy (whatever it may be) and felt relief as he finds redemption in music, in this 'Kun Fayaa Kun' video. And of course, I can see him represent today's rebellious youth in 'Sadda Haq'.
And yet, you are ready for more.
The story we know so far, is simple but interesting enough. A to-be-artist wants to create tragedy in his life because all artists have tragedy in their lives for their work to be recognized. It reminded me of this beautiful Israeli film, Ben's Biography. Of course, Rockstar won't be anything like Ben's Biography, the latter is pretty demented.
Not that, Rockstar is any less demented. Nargis Fakhri the refreshing find (at least from the promos!) goes completely bonkers as the 'Jungli-Jawani' watching, 'desi-daru' drinking foreigner, check out –
The music is either trippy or a world apart, the visuals promise to be zany too. Just look at this image here!
And the film could be awful, but you will have to thank it for the bonus Shammi Kapoor. I mean, what's there not to look forward to, tell me?
