Ford: Goldman Even More Sure of 'Conviction' Buy
Yesterday's news that fuel-sipping cars boosted April auto sales is only making Goldman Sachs automotive analyst Patrick Archambault more certain of his "conviction-list" buy call on the Detroit auto giant. The basic reason why? Ford is hanging tough on pricing, and avoiding offering the kind of incentives that had made a mess of the auto industry in the years building up to the financial crisis. Archambault writes:
Ford sales rose 12.3% [year-over-year] in April, which was up less than our forecast of 15%, but the unit shortfall (vs. our estimate) was driven by very strong price discipline. Incentives declined 14% sequentially and 19% [year-over-year] underpinning a 4% increase in average transaction prices [month-over-month] and a 6% increase [year-over-year]. Ford's ability to take price is a critical underpinning of our [conviction list-Buy] call on the shares. The company's strong product portfolio and discipline paid significant dividends in 1Q11 when it saw a $900mn [year-over-year] tailwind from pricing. We believe this model represents the only way to drive sustained operating margin improvement; keeping variable margins stable by pricing for all material cost increases so that the company can see real benefits from operating leverage.
Ford shares are down about 19% from their high of around $18.80 on Jan. 27. The S&P 500 is off about 3.8% over the same period. "We think the current valuation presents an excellent entry point into the shares ahead of strong vehicle pricing and market share gains this summer as midline import inventories becomes tight. We also expect 2Q and 3Q earnings to be positive catalysts illustrating the company's ability to drive earnings growth even in a rising commodity price environment," Archambault writes. We know there are plenty of Ford loyalists that frequent the blog. What say ye? Been buyers over the last few months? And what about the GM diehards?

Veteran news anchor Jim Lehrer is approaching 80 years old, but he wants to make one thing clear: He didn't know any Founding Fathers personally. He does have a favorite, though, and he's the reason the retired "PBS NewsHour" host read a few lines from his 2005 novel "The Franklin Affair" on Thursday night at a reception hosted by British Ambassador Peter Westmacott.
Lehrer reconfirmed to Yeas & Nays that he has definitely retired from duties such as hosting presidential debates -- for real this time -- and he's "very comfortable" staying off national TV, writing his novels and attending events where he gets to talk about Benjamin Franklin rather than Benghazi or the IRS.
"There's no modern day version of Ben Franklin around," said Lehrer. He noted Franklin never represented a specific constituency, but was able to act as the "grease" that brought the founders together. "It would be hard even for Ben Franklin to be Ben Franklin today."
Lehrer visited Franklin House at 36 Craven St. in London while researching his Franklin novel. The house is the only structure still existing where Franklin once lived, and Lehrer urged attendees -- mainly sponsors of the restoration foundation -- to visit the place where Franklin invented the "air bath."

Supposedly, if you haven't jumped on the very fast moving band wagon of video production yet, you are behind the times. So if you have already started using video as a way to promote your business, well done. If you haven't, you might want to get a move on. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a nervous newbie you should find the information in this article useful to help you think about what to have in your videos or at least how to structure them to keep your watchers watching.
When producing corporate videos there is a lot we can learn from the film and documentary traditions. Think of your corporate video as a short film and imagine that the message you are trying to get across is a story you are trying to tell. (More and more we seeing television adverts that are more like short blockbuster movies). An understanding of storytelling and its link to emotions could help you produce corporate videos that provoke the responses you want from your audience.
This Chanel No. 5 advert was the most expensive advert in the world at the time and is structured like a miniature movie.
The length of your video
Generally, shorter and to the point is better. However, creating shorts is an art and isn't as easy as it sounds. For this reason, you need a director who knows what they are doing and only shoots what is needed – otherwise you will end up spending more time and money on an editor who has to sort through reams of footage. You also need an editor who is in tune with the story you are trying to tell and the message you are trying to get across. They should have the skills to help you tell the story efficiently.
Focus Forward Short Films have some great examples of important and potentially very long stories being told in a meager 3 minutes. Take a look.
The importance of a good introduction
You supposedly have 9 seconds to capture the attention of your audience before they switch off and walk away. You therefore need to think creatively about how to keep your viewer engaged from the beginning. There is no formula for 'the right way' to introduce a corporate video – there are a number of ways you can make an immediate impression. Here are a couple of examples of videos that have particularly strong introductions.
The music, short close up shots of the horse and the slow motion element cleverly draw the viewer in – there is a sense of build up and an increasing intensity, despite the fact that there is no dialogue, it does have a structure that involves a climax.
This is a great example of the potential of animation. In terms of the introduction, it is quite a classic approach with an immediate introduction to a protagonist for the viewer to empathise with throughout.
The classic narrative structure
The classic narrative structure looks like this diagram:
using narrative structure in corporate videos
This is by no means the only way to structure a story (and therefore a video) but this structure does highlight the importance of building interest in the beginning, then with the introduction of some 'obstacles' or 'crises' and two thirds of the way through a climax point.
Here I have broken down the components of the classic narrative so that you can think about each one individually in relation to your video:
Protagonist: this is the main character who will be involved in the events throughout the story. This doesn't have to be a human being either; it could be an animal, a car or place for example. Also, you can have more that one protagonist. If you choose to have a narrator the narrator could be the protagonist, but it doesn't have to be. If you choose a different narrator, you need to think about what the relationship is between the narrator and the protagonist because this will affect the perspective.
The chances are that in a corporate video the protagonist will be your company.
Aims: The aims should be those of the protagonist. Aims can take many forms. They could be material aims e.g. your character is trying to get the car they have always wanted, or they could be psychological aims e.g. they are trying to get over some unrequited love. You need your viewer to understand the aims of your character to engage them in the story.
The aim of a corporate video can be almost as varied as a film. However, you need to clearly structure the video so that the viewer is clear on where you are taking them.
Obstacles: In order to create some tension or conflict, any good story has obstacles to the protagonist achieving their aims. Again, an obstacle could take a number of forms. It could be an antagonistic person or it could be a physical or political problem for example.
In a corporate video this could be the problem that your customer faces that you have the solution to.
Climax: This is the crisis point in the narrative and would usually fall at about two-thirds of the way through the story. You can include 'dramatic irony' which is a really useful device for engaging your audience: it involves, for example, your viewer having some information that your protagonist doesn't have and which will make the difference between the protagonist achieving their aims or not.
Resolution: This is your conclusion and it is where you close the narrative (even if the story continues outside of your video). A good resolution should leave your viewer with plenty to think about.
Change, development and conflict
Whatever type of narrative structure you choose to use, it is essential that there is some change or development over time. 'Conflict' is recognised as a central driver in the development of any 'story'. This doesn't mean you need to go to war with your competitors. Conflict or tension could be created by comparing the old with the new, by setting one set of values against another.
In some contexts, any element of 'conflict' might seem completely inappropriate or misplaced. It might be that changes between people or between people and their environments are what provide some development in a story, rather than conflict as such.
Here is a comic example of conflict as a driving force in a narrative for a Weetabix advert:
An ending with a resolution
A good ending is one that gives the viewer some closure but also something to think about or something to do (a call to action or a conversion in your case!).
The Weetabix advert above was on YouTube and in the video description viewers were encouraged to watch the advert and then enter a competition.
Structuring devices
Here are some other structuring devices to be aware of when planning the content of your video:
Chronology: this would be using the passage of time to tell your story. This doesn't necessarily mean that you are just moving forward through time. There are other ways to use time e.g. looking at the past, using memory or flash back, or being slightly more abstract and mixing up the past with the present.
Thematic: organising your video in terms of themes is useful if you need to get messages across about a number of themes. For example, you may have three different types of products that you need to feature in your video and it might be simplest and clearest for the viewer to spend a minute on each.
Essay or journey: for example, you open with a question, you take the viewer on a journey to find the answer and then you come to some kind of conclusion or resolution.
Comparison or juxtaposition: The Mitsubishi advert above compares their vehicle to a horse. Juxtaposition is about placing two abstract things next to each other and stimulating some kind of thought or creativity. It is an extremely useful tool.
This video is a good example of juxtaposition with computer style animation juxtaposed with melancholy music.
Multi-story structure: this is quite common in modern television documentary and is a good tool for keeping people engaged, especially in a world of short attention spans! It is more difficult to pull this technique in a short piece but it is not impossible. An example might be that you follow a couple of different members of staff looking at their experience of working for your business and your video would move from one story to the other.
Being aware of the rules you are breaking
You have a lot of options when making a corporate video. These options will be narrowed by what is appropriate to your goals. There are no strict rules and there is nothing to say you have to create a corporate video incorporating all or even any of these elements. Having an awareness of them is just as important so that you can draw ideas from the traditions or at least know what rules you are breaking.

I had a sudden cravings for fried chicken. Never get bored with it, what about you? But too much of fried stuff is not healthy especially when you see oil stuck to the food.
During my round of groceries, I spotted the New Scott Calorie Light Premium Towel which boost of superior oil absorbency where it can reduce calorie intake from fat (oil) found on the surface of food by up to 25%!! IN goes two rolls of these into my trolley.
I got the chance today to try the New Scott Calorie Light Premium Towel. I made fried chickens for dinner 😛 This is a simple marinating recipe that I got from my mum. Most of the stuff are usually already available in your kitchen.
Recipe :
- Chicken (whole chopped to bite sizes, drum sticks or wings – your choice)
- Light Soya Sauce
- Dark Soya Sauce
- Pepper
- Ginger Juice
- Honey
- Optional : sprinkle some italian herbs
Method :
- Wash and drain the chicken pieces.
- Dab dry with Scott Premium Towel to rid of access water.
- Marinate with light soya sauce, pepper, ginger juice and honey. I add in a bit of dark soya sauce for colour. Best to marinate for at least 3 hours.
- Heat oil and once hot, fry till golden brown
Cleaned and wash chicken pieces
I used Scott Towel to "dry" my chicken as well. Love that it doesn't tear apart easily or get stucked to the chicken.
Marinate for at least 3 hours in order for the chicken meat to soak up the flavours.
Taa-daa fried chicken drumsticks sitting on Scott Towels where Scott Premium Towel soak up the excess oil.
Look at the amount of oil Scott Premium Towel soaked up!! Ooh one thing to share is Scott Towel is also infused with green tea extract 😀 an ingredient that is long known and used for fat reduction.
And now my ready to serve Fried Chicken Drumsticks.
*rings the bell*
Try it out yourselves the next time you are frying something. Scott Premium Towel is a great kitchen helper!

El Tule To Perform Saturday In Victoria
Victoria will get a taste of salsa, cumbia and merengue on Saturday as El Tule will sprinkle some Latin-based flavor to the Golden Gecko. The Austin-based band has performed at the Tropical Heat Wave Festival in Tampa, Fla., opening for the Gipsy Kings, and served as the house band for Carlos Santana's restaurant, "Maria Maria." They now perform at the venue once a month.
Victoria native Joseph Ledesma looks forward to performing in the city that sprouted his musical roots. The 26-year-old University of North Texas graduate joined the band last year with the encouragement of his friend.
Some of their fan favorites include "Tres Viudas," a story of three widows dancing in San Antonio; "La Ruta Maya," a tribute to the famed Mayan Route and "Mi Nino," a song that reminds someone of a colorful childhood life on the border.
The concert will be at 9 at the Golden Gecko on Saturday. The Gecko is located at 202 E. Forrest St and here is a video of them performing in San Antonio.

James Franco Snubs His Own Party After Bombing at Oscars
James Franco couldn't wait to get out of there.
RELATED: Find out who walked the red-carpet at the Oscars
After the star severely disappointed many fans and critics as co-host of Sunday's Academy Awards, Franco bailed on his own after-party, held at L.A.'s Supper Club.
While a few stars -- Seth Rogen, Kevin Spacey and stars of the CW's "90210" showed up -- Franco, 32, was a no-show, a source confirms to UsMagazine.com.
The Supper Club bash, the insider adds, was a "bust."
Indeed, Franco immediately boarded an New York-bound plane following the ceremony -- posting pics from his brand-new Twitter account.
"Goodbye L.A.," he scrawled across one pic, in which the "127 Hours" actor, still in a tux, sips what appears to be a Bloody Mary. "It was fun! Time to head back to class."
(The multi-tasking hunk is famously a student at both NYU and Yale.)
Sniped The Hollywood Reporter of Franco's stint co-hosting alongside Anne Hathaway: "The 83rd Annual Academy Awards will likely be remembered as the night James Franco couldn't act like a host ... Anne Hathaway at least tried to sing and dance and preen along to the goings on, but Franco seemed distant, uninterested and content to keep his Cheshire-cat-meets-smug smile on display throughout."
Complaining that Franco and Hathaway suffered from an "absence of chemistry," the New York Times said: "Mr. Franco looked a little distracted and even blase -- not surprisingly for a multiplatform performer-writer who is working on an English doctorate at Yale."

A guide to car stereo wiring harnesses
Getting a handle on all those wires
I began my Crutchfield career in 1997 as a Sales Advisor, helping customers find the gear that best fit their needs. Ever since Dad purchased a stereo system from Crutchfield in the '80s, I've been interested in electronics. My passion for movies and music also fueled my desire to get the most out of the gear I hook up.
In 2013, I moved to the Creative department as a copywriter for the mobile electronics division, possibly because of the suggestions I constantly sent them. This great move also let me learn more about the gear we sell. And as part of our Demo Days crew, I get to share this knowledge with Advisors so they can better help you.
More from Dave Delamere
While they can look like some sort of multicolor pasta dish, wiring harnesses help you connect your new car stereo to your vehicle's wiring. In this article, we'll explain the different types of harnesses and adapters that Crutchfield offers and how they're helpful when installing your new car stereo.
We'll also touch on some of the other types of adapters that might be needed for installing other audio gear.
Car stereo wiring harnesses
Each vehicle has a different wiring story. Sometimes you have a choice of harnesses that will work in your car. Other times, you might need more than one harness to complete the installation. Our customers often refer to these as "Crutchfield wiring harnesses," but the fact is that they come from several different manufacturers. We just try to make sure you get the one you need when you shop with us.
The basic wiring harness
These represent the most common type of wiring harnesses. They offer connections for the power and speaker wires. They can also include connections for the new stereo's ground and illumination wires.
Using the wiring diagram that Crutchfield supplies, these harnesses enable you to match up the wires for each connection to the new stereo's wiring harness. Once that's done, you plug the other end of the harness into your car's wiring connector (the one that was plugged into the factory radio). Using your car's factory stereo plug wiring connector is the key to installing a new stereo without damaging your vehicle's electronics, especially in modern vehicles, which we'll discuss next.
Specialized wiring harnesses
Vehicle audio systems, electrical systems, and convenience features have come a long way. So, the harnesses had to evolve to handle the complex wiring and data information that modern cars use.
Connections at a distant location
In some vehicles, you need to plug in the harness somewhere other than behind the radio. A great example is a common version of the Ford Taurus, where the factory amp and radio tuner are located in the vehicle's trunk. These harnesses often consist of a basic wiring scheme that has wires long enough to reach the necessary destination. In the case of the Taurus, the adapter includes 20' of speaker wire to reach the trunk.
Hook up your new radio by bypassing the factory amp
A vehicle's stereo system sometimes has a separate amplifier, and when installing a new receiver, you generally need to connect the new stereo's speaker wires to the factory amp's output section. These amp bypass harnesses allow you to use the power from the new car stereo to drive your speakers and not rely on factory power.
These harnesses tend to be more affordable than amplifier integration adapters (below), but can involve more work if the amplifier is in a remote location, like under a seat or in the trunk.
Factory amplifier integration harnesses can include gain controls to reduce distortion.
Keep the factory amp in play
Many wiring harnesses can let you keep your vehicle's factory amplifier when replacing the stock radio. They include connections that directly tie the outputs of your new car stereo into the factory amplifier's inputs. So, you'll be using the factory power for your speakers, instead of the power from your new radio.
These harnesses can sometimes shorten the installation time, since wires often do not have to be run to the factory amplifier location, but they tend to be more expensive than the bypass harnesses above. You may also see a module connected in these harnesses — they include adjustments that enable you to properly integrate your stereo's speaker outputs and the factory amp's inputs to keep your music clear.
Retain those important audible safety alerts
In many vehicles, the audible safety alerts are integrated into the factory radio. When you replace that radio, these warning sounds are lost, and that's dangerous. Thus, these vehicles require a special harness to keep these audible tones working when you install a new stereo. Fortunately, these harnesses also take care of all of the basic stereo connections.
Hang on to factory conveniences you love
Today's cars include an ever-growing number of features built into the factory radios, which complicate wiring connections immensely. They can include things like Ford SYNC®, GM OnStar®, Chrysler Uconnect®, and steering wheel audio controls for the stereo and your phone.
When you replace the factory radio in these vehicles, a more-robust type of integration adapters is needed in order to have these features work with your new stereo.
Some integration adapters, like the iDatalink Maestro, even enable you to download programming for specific receivers and vehicles so you can keep as much of the factory functionality as possible.
This integration package includes the dash kit, connections, and brackets for a installing a stereo in a Ford F-150.
Packages that connect and secure your radio
There are also vehicles that not only have a complicated wiring scheme, but they also have a unique dash layout. Integration adapters for these vehicles include both the wiring connections and a custom dash kit to get your new receiver installed.
These generally include just about everything you need to get the receiver connected, mounted in the dash, and retain many of beneficial factory features, such as electronic climate controls.
Additional adapters for car stereo installations
Sometimes, a wiring harness won't take care of everything and you need additional adapters to install a new stereo. They can help with a specific connection or allow you to keep a factory feature.
Antenna adapters
Many factory AM/FM antenna connectors simply plug into the antenna port on the rear of a new receiver. However, some vehicles have an antenna connector with a different shape or are part of an amplified antenna system. In these cases, an antenna adapter becomes necessary for your radio installation so you can keep your AM/FM stations playing.
Steering wheel audio control adapters
Modern vehicles often include steering wheel controls to let you safely operate your factory audio system without taking your hands off the wheel. These functions include volume controls, track forward/back, and hands-free calling controls. In most cases, those controls won't work after replacing the factory radio. Thankfully, steering wheel control adapters help integrate these controls with many new stereos, so you can keep using these handy controls with your new stereo.
Learn more about these adapters in our steering wheel control adapter article.
Speaker wiring harnesses
While they don't directly help with car stereo installations, the speaker wiring harnesses we offer let you use the factory speaker wires for your new speakers, just like car stereo harnesses. Their plugs match the factory speaker wiring plugs in the vehicle, and the other ends slide over the new speakers' terminals. That way, you don't have to run new wire from the radio to all the speaker locations in your vehicle or cut factory wires. These adapters are also free with a car speaker purchase from Crutchfield.
How do I know what I need?
We'll show you! You can use our OutfitMyCar™ application or contact one of our expert advisors for help choosing the right harnesses to work with your vehicle. They can also answer any questions you have about the installation and give you some idea about how difficult it'll be — some vehicles are easier than others. You can reach them at 1-888-955-6000 or via chat or email.

Alec from HooksettPosted on 8/7/2015
Hi, i have a 2006 dodge stratus, and when i attach the radio (jvc kd-r760) to the car, i can turn the car in the "on position and the radio works, turns on, i can setup settings and everything, but when i go to start it i get a wiring/fuse malfunction error code. I can re-instal my old radio and it works fine. There is a brown wire on my harness that says :mute/not used. Should i disconnect this wire, or is there another problem? I know the brown is a mute for onstar/bluetooth from what ive researched, and my car has neither. Is it a problem that my original witing does not support that wire? Help would be greatly appreciated
Nancy from TacomaPosted on 8/17/2015
I find most of these comment not really very helpful, as I have installed many stereos and even the 99 Tahoe w/amp hook up the remote wire so the amp is powered up but I find sometimes information is left out,,, would it not be easier to remove the plug on the bottom of the amp and run a ign hot to same, as I can't get it to work...?? it should I have test the deck in another auto and all is fine, so it is in the wiring using a meter 70-1858 I thought it should be the 1859 which has a power wire for the amp?? I'm lost... If you can help please educate me... as I have the blue wire for power ant/remote hooked to the factory wire which in turns goes to pink on the back side... when I turn the car on the deck doesn't not come on but the rear amp speaker click and so does the amp... what am I not doing?? Ask 10 people get 10 answers like where is the amp mine is by the gas pedal not behind the glove box which would be better I think to get to.

I am installing a stereo in my boat and would like to maintain the various wiring colors from the back of the unit all the way to the endpoint destination. I'm having a difficult time finding a source for the 4 different color combinations for the speakers. E.g. Purple-purple/black, grey-grey black, green-green/black, and the 4th one that I can't remember. Any suggestions?

Hi, I bought one of those aux input adapters for my JBL 6 disk cd player for my Highlander 2007 (with navigation) I also bought a basic Y cable so that the navi could still be connected. Now when I press the cd button twice, like on all of these aux adapters, It says no disk. Putting a cd in wont switch it over either. But, when I disconnect the navi display, pressing the cd button twice does work. So, is it possibly the Y adapter, or do I need another aux adapter device? Is there one under $50 that you could recommend. I only payed $22 for mine, and it does sound wonderful, despite loosing the display. Thanks

Who or where can I purchase a wiring harness that will allow me to use my factory amp and sub for my 2000 Chevy Tahoe with the non-Bose factory amp and subwoofer? I purchased a Pioneer system from Crutchfield and I was also sent a basic install kit that came with a wiring harness as part of the install. The problem is I am still getting no sound. After doing some research and some troubleshooting I found out that the basic harness may not work (not sure how much truth there is to that) if I have a factory amp and sub. Thanks!

I need to wire my pioneer gmd1004 to the battery, how will I attach the power cable to the harness? It's 10 gauge I'm using with a 15 amp inline blade fuse. And would my ground go into the harness or to the body of the car as I've gone straight to the battery?

I am trying to put subwoofers in my car. I have a wiring harness hooked up to my new radio. Would I splice the remote wire from my amp into the antenna wire on the radio and the antenna wire on the harness? Or how would I connect it
Zach from TraerPosted on 1/12/2017
I have 2 wiring harnesses that I purchased for my 1992 Oldsmobile cutlass ciera. Neither one of them have the right connection to put in an aftermarket radio. On the package it says this harness should fit my vehicle. Can you help me out?

New Cinema: The Future of Digital Storytelling
Eyebeam held a large-scale, team-based digital storytelling event at its Chelsea, NY exhibition space from December 13th-Dec 16th. The project was organized in collaboration with The Creators Project, a global arts and technology from Intel and Vice, and award-winning visual effects company Framestore.
The event, dubbed "New Cinema", was the first event concentrating on team-based brainstorming, design, and systematic development of new hybrid digital storytelling methods which can shape the ways in which we think about possible futures of cinema. All projects were realized by unorthodox methods and takes on fresh creative coding approaches, commercial and open source software and hardware hacks, and "creative misuse" of the latest camera, sensor and computer technologies.
Eyebeam and The Creators Project curated five cross-disciplinary teams consisting of creative coders, conceptual artists, 3D/CGI/Special FX and cinema technology professionals as well as directors, cinematographers, editors, scriptwriters, and musicians/sound designers. The teams spent three days in Eyebeam's Chelsea exhibition and fabrication space developing their initial prototypes, working with cutting edge tools, and exchanging ideas with other teams. A public exhibition of the completed projects was exhibited at Eyebeam from January 29th-February 3rd, 2013.
Project "In Opsis" combined concepts which influenced the development of Director's Mike Cahill's ("Another Earth") new feature length movie "iOrigins". Team: Mike Cahill, Rylan Scherer, Anton Vade Marini, Brian Chasalow and Golan Levin.
Both of his films received the Alfred P. Sloan Feature film prize in Sundance film festival, awarded for movies focusing on science or technology.
Project "Before the Flood". Team: Ramsey Nasser, Nick Hooker, Nick Fox-Gieg, MIke Woods and Mike Mellor.
"Before the Flood" is an interactive cinematic experience exploring a subterranean world
Project "Dance like Michael Jackson". Team: Supermarche (Ariel Shulman, Henry Joost), Aaron Mayers, Lauren McCarthy and James George.
Project "We Make the Weather / Before the Flood by Bridge Group". Team: Karolina Sobecka, Greg Borenstein and Sofy Yuditskaya.
"We Make the Weather" is a breath-controlled installation inspired by Hurricane Sandy. Use your breath to control a ghostly figure trying to cross a never-ending bridge.
Project "Flatland". Team: Ryan Staake and Zack Lieberman.

Tuesday's announcement that Hallmark Cards is leaving Topeka sparked disagreement at the evening's city council meeting over what kind of a job Go Topeka is doing encouraging economic development.
Councilmen Chad Manspeaker and Andrew Gray spoke critically of the group, while Mayor Bill Bunten came to its defense.
Go Topeka is a private organization that serves as the economic development arm of the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce.
After Hallmark announced Tuesday it was closing its Topeka operation after 69 years in the capital city, Manspeaker sent out a "tweet" on the Twitter social media network suggesting journalists ask Doug Kinsinger, president and CEO of Go Topeka and the chamber, "What the heck happened with Hallmark?"
Manspeaker's message added, "We are taxed to stop this."
Kinsinger, who was out of town but responded to questions emailed to him by The Topeka Capital-Journal, said "losing any jobs at a time when our state and nation are having economic challenges is a major concern, especially manufacturing jobs with a company the quality of Hallmark.
"The printing industry has been going through many changes in recent years due to technology changes and less demand for printed materials," Kinsinger said. "It is evident with this announcement and the recent closure announcement from Josten's that newer equipment and technologies are continuing to drive changes in this industry."
Manspeaker lamented the loss of Hallmark, saying, "Entire families, entire generations were raised through that facility."
He noted that Topeka also lost jobs recently at Josten's and at a North Topeka postal facility.
When asked about the businesses moving out of Topeka, Kinsinger said "while companies are moving out, many also are moving in."
Kinsinger said in talks with Hallmark plant manager David Millen earlier this year: "Our Go Topeka staff was assured the plant was in a good position and at that time, there was no expectation of layoffs or closures. There was no advance notice by the company that they were considering closure or consolidation."
Hallmark officials Tuesday cited higher insurance and transportation costs as one of the reasons the company decided to close the Topeka facility instead of the plants in Lawrence and Leavenworth. One official said the facility is located in a flood plain.
"We were made aware several years ago that the insurance for this facility was higher than some of their other facilities due to the flood zone map being changed," Kinsinger said. "We have been advocating with our congressional delegation and with the Corps of Engineers to expedite our levy repair project, which would alleviate this issue."
He also said "the Corps of Engineers needs to address this as the city of Topeka already has their funds available for their required share of the project."
Gray cited census records regarding Topeka job losses over the past decade, and said the community needs to scrutinize its economic development arm more closely to make sure it is getting the most bang for its buck.
Bunten replied, "There seems to be a little gloom and doom here, and I don't share that at all."
The mayor said the community's economic development program "is a model for the nation and has been noted as that."
He acknowledged Topeka has lost businesses over the years — specifically mentioning Brock Hotel, Menninger and Fleming Co. — but said the city has always lost businesses.
Bunten said Go Topeka has played a key role in bringing investment in the community by companies that include Target, Home Depot, Bimbo Bakeries and Mars Chocolate North America.
"I think we ought to rejoice in the fact that this city is doing just fine," he said.
Kinsinger said Go Topeka has more projects it is working on "than any point in our history."
"We have over 10 existing companies and 23 new companies we are actively working with on projects," Kinsinger said. "We understand any plant closure is alarming, but we want to assure the community that the number of opportunities greatly outweighs our challenges."

It was the summer of 1989 when Bill and Susi Tashnick finally granted permission to their young son Anthony to ride his bike down a small avenue that ran into West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz.
Little did they know that their young lad would take the liberty of sneaking across the road and scampering down the rocks that led to the beach below. Oblivious to the beachgoers, the young Tashnick would run up and down the sand, playing in the shore break.
One day, he was stopped by a grizzled, tanned man carrying a surfboard and sporting a thick white head of hair and a white mane reminiscent of a lion's.
"Do you want to try my board? Here, go ahead, go for a paddle!" the man offered.
The boy grabbed it and took off paddling through the tiny shore break.
"I wasn't sure what to do next, so I turned the board around not far from the shore, and looked up to see the white-haired man -- looking like Jesus in a wetsuit -- leaning up against the rocks glaring me," Tashnick, now 26, recalled, "and I figured I had better paddle back in."
The man, who later introduced himself as "Harbor Bill" Mulcoy, one of Santa Cruz's surfing legends, wasn't angry.
"You didn't even catch a wave!" he said, seemingly disappointed.
Tashnick didn't care what anyone thought. After that small taste, he just knew that riding a surfboard on the ocean gave him even more freedom than riding his bike to end of the street. "Tazzy," as he is now known in the world of surfing, wanted more.
Tashnick has made the most of the nearly quarter century since, becoming Santa Cruz's surfing prodigy. He secured his first pro sponsorship at age 17 and that same year became one of the youngest to successfully ride the monster waves at Maverick's. His name became synonymous with the big wave break near Half Moon Bay when he won the 2005 Maverick's Surf Contest, before he could legally partake in the offerings of major sponsor Cabo Wabo tequila.
However, he considers his latest achievement -- emulating Santa Cruz's first surf prodigy and one of Tashnick's own mentors, Jay Moriarity, as a stunt double in the upcoming movie "Of Men and Mavericks" -- his most significant.
"When I surfed with Jay, he was young, and I was even younger than him. He was someone I looked up to and respected," Tashnick said. "He ripped, and I kept saying to myself during the making of the movie, to just surf like Jay."
The phrase "Live Like Jay" was coined shortly after Moriarity drowned at age 23 while free diving in the Maldives in 2001. For Tashnick, it wasn't so much a command as a fact. His life seems inextricably intertwined with Moriarity's, starting with their artistic natures.
Tashnick was born a free spirit. While attending Natural Bridges Elementary, Mission Hill Middle and Santa Cruz High schools, and making the honor roll, he entertained thoughts of pursuing a career as a graphic designer. In his free time, he surfed with his father and friends. He also developed a friendship with Mulcoy, who taught him the spiritual side of surfing, knowledge he still refers to as "The Wizard's Wisdom."
As a teenager, he traveled up and down the California coast from Santa Cruz to San Diego, entering local surf contests. Yet in spite of impressive results that earned him small amounts of money from sponsors, the regimented routine of the contest was not something he particularly enjoyed.
That's when Tashnick went looking for more than a 15-minute heat. He just wanted to surf, without judges, without a clock. He needed to be far away from any crowded lineup. With money he saved, the then 17-year-old headed for Mexico with Josh Loya, Joey Hutson and Ken "Skindog" Collins to challenge the 50-foot waves that were going off at Puerto Escondido.
"I remember that trip," Hutson said. "It was like someone let him out of the gate. He just charged it, totally fearless."
He charged right into a featured article in Surfing Magazine, and the surfing companies came calling, wanting to ink the young Tashnick to a sponsorship.
"At 17 years old, it was like putting candy in front of a baby, I just couldn't believe that I was getting paid by Quiksilver to surf," Tashnick said.
Mike Brummet, Tashnick's Santa Cruz Junior Guard instructor and big wave surfer, was the person responsible for introducing the prodigy to Maverick's. Without a word to his mother, Tashnick made a journey to a place that fueled his adrenaline and love of freedom from the crowds.
"I paddled out into the line up with Brummet. The waves were 15-foot-plus, and I couldn't wait to ride that first one," Tashnick said. "I was way too eager and way too deep as I furiously paddled into it. What came next was a feeling of what it must be like to be shot out of a gun. I was violently thrown forward as the wave jacked up, and then closed out around me."
Instead of being scared, though, Tashnick felt a sense of belonging inside the heavy layers of frothing water.
"It was an eerie feeling, that during the worst beating that I had ever felt, something just clicked inside my head," Tashnick said, "and I knew right there and then, I was now surfing for all the right reasons. This is where I needed to be, this is what I needed to do."
For regular Maverick's surf contest competitor Grant Washburn, the similarities between Tashnick and Moriarity even then were hard to miss.
"Tashnick was the second super-grom to come out to Maverick's. Jay was the first, and like him, Tazzy was eager to attempt the vicious wave at an age when most surfers wouldn't have considered it," Washburn said. "Big wave surfing is not a sport that sees many kids. Most riders spend years acclimatizing to a place before they take on serious set waves. However, Jay and Tazzy were not like most surfers."
That's why Tashnick knew he could be the perfect double for Moriarity in the movie.
It all began with a call from Bob Pearson of Arrow Surfboards. Pearson, who made 173 surfboards for the movie, was called upon by the studio heads to recommend some of the world's best surfers who would be willing to not only play the role of Moriarity, but also put themselves into any situation, precarious or otherwise. Pearson's first suggestion was Tashnick.
"He was a natural to make the list. He absolutely charges, and size doesn't scare him.
For Tazzy, bigger is just better," Pearson said. "Just like Jay before him, you can clearly see his for love of big waves, emanating from that infectious smile of his."
Tashnick wanted the role of Jay, but big wave surfing veteran Grant Washburn, the film studio's stunt coordinator, explained it would be filled by six men.
"I understood that they could not put all their eggs in one basket with such a small window of having good-size waves. It was a smart move on the director's part to obtain as many opportunities as he could to get the right shot," Tashnick said.
On the main day of shooting at Maverick's -- a circus in the water -- Tashnick was in middle of it with the other stunt-double surfers, painted with green dots so post-production pros could superimpose the face of the actor playing Moriarity onto his face during the surf scenes. Producers and directors were in boats and camera men were riding shotgun on jet skis as well as perched in helicopters.
Surfers were directed to perform stunts from one scripted scene to the next. Continuously, the call would come over the walkie-talkies asking for a surfer to volunteer to perform a desired task to accommodate a scene.
"You would repeatedly hear Tazzy volunteered,'" Pearson said. "He spent all day in freezing water, riding huge waves, paddling up huge faces, even setting up the tombstone scene. It was totally exhausting, but Tazzy was there to make it happen."
Washburn knew that when Mother Nature finally delivered Maverick's in all its raging glory, it would likely be the only chance for Moriarity's stunt double to catch a giant wave in front of the largest deployment of cameras in the history of surf cinematography. Tazzy he knew was up for the task. When the right wave came, he seized it.
"Tazzy launched himself deep behind the peak of the massive wave," Washburn said, "and I immediately radioed to the crew: Jay is going! Jay is going!,' and I just heard gasps rising from the bank of monitors where the producers were viewing the footage."
Tazzy flew through the air as a five-story slab of water lunged over him. Deathly silence overcame the radio until it was broken up by a chorus of voices going back and forth over the hand-helds.
"Oh my God, he made it!"
"Holy cow, did we get it?"
"How did he do that?"
The attempt was so radical that some people looked away, fearing the worst. But Tashnick landed it, leaving cast and crew in total disbelief. It even sent wily veteran Washburn looking for a chair to sit down on and ponder what they all had just witnessed.
Tashnick and Moriarity shared a primal obsession with heavy surf. They injected a contagious level of energy and enthusiasm by pushing limits while enjoying the ride. During filming, the spirit of Moriarity joined Tashnick, who helped capture the raw thrill of the sport, so a taste of their magic can be shared with another audience.

That arctic blast that rolled through the area late Tuesday afternoon not only dropped the spring temperatures back to winter, but also cooled off the shooting for the Hardin-Central Lady Bulldogs.
It couldn't have come at a worse time as the Lady Dawgs saw their season end for the second consecutive year in the Class 1 sectionals. Hardin-Central hit just 25 percent from the field in a 47-39 loss to Keytesville at the Fred E. Davis Center in Sedalia.
The Lady Tigers, now 17-12, advance to Saturday's quarterfinal at Missouri Valley in Marshall against 25-4 Marion County, while Hardin-Central, which entered the game ranked 10th, ends the year with a 23-5 mark.
In addition to their shooting, the Lady Bulldogs had foul troubles to add to their woes Tuesday. Keytesville took advantage by hitting 13 of 17 free throws in the game, including a perfect 6 of 6 in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Hardin-Central visited the stripe just 6 times in the game, and converted half of them.
The Lady Bulldogs' foul problems also forced them to call off the full-court pressure, and also allowed Keytesville center Heidi Koehl to roam the lane. She responded with a game-high 19 points, with 14 of those coming in the second half as the Lady Tigers erased a 19-11 Hardin-Central lead at the half.
"We had to lay back a little and we knew that Koehl could hurt us inside if we had to lay back," Hardin-Central Coach Ken Layman said. "Then we got a couple of girls in foul trouble with three fouls and that's what we had to do, so we never had an answer for her in the lane when she got the ball."
However, the shooting woes were the biggest problem for the Lady Bulldogs. Hardin-Central hit half of its 18 3-point attempts, but were just one for 13 inside 10 feet, and 4 of 16 from 11 to 15 feet.
"I didn't have enough girls looking to shoot and that was the difference in the game," Layman said. "If they're going to lay back on us and pack the lane, we've got to score the 15-foot shot, or at least take it. There were too many times, we didn't even look to take it. We missed some layups and shots right under the basket – just rushing them and things like that – early game jitters, but those things come back to haunt you later."
Both teams struggled early with Hardin-Central holding a 9-6 lead after the first 8 minutes, but Keytesville came back to take a 10-9 lead early in the second quarter and hold it until Layman called a time out with just under 4:30 remaining in the half.
The chat seemed to help, as the Lady Dawgs came out with Reanna Newham hitting a 3-pointer from the left corner to begin a 10-1 run. That surge helped Hardin-Central take a 19-11 lead at the intermission.
The Lady Bulldogs stretched their lead to 24-13 just a minute into the second half when Newham, who ended the night hitting 6 of 11 from the field in a 14-point effort, picked up her third foul.
A few minutes later, Brooke Derstler, who scored a team-high 16 for the Lady Dawgs, was also whistled for her third which forced Hardin-Central to back off on its pressure.
Keytesville took full advantage and turned a 28-19 Lady Bulldog lead with 4:17 remaining in the third, into a 33-28 Tiger lead entering the fourth quarter. Cassie Penrod led the Keytesville charge with a pair of 3-pointers as she scored 8 of her 10 points in that frame.
Koehl posted 8 of her points, and Megan Schupback hit for 6 of her 14 points in the third.
The Lady Bulldogs fought back to cut the deficit to 2 points with a minute remaining in the game, but Keytesville held off any more of a comeback attempt by being perfect from the stripe.
Also scoring for Hardin-Central were Megan Layman with 5 points, and Allison Oyler with 4. Layman and Brianne McGuire also grabbed 7 rebounds apiece.
Layman said his seniors, Derstler, Newham, McGuire and Tommie Twyman, who end their Hardin-Central careers with a 92-18 record, have a lot to be proud of.
"They have nothing to be ashamed of," he said. "They've worked hard. They've had 20-plus win seasons all four years and been to the post season twice. I just wish I could have taken them a little further because they deserve it."

The Upland woman accused of selling her 7 and 14-year-old daughters for prostitution has been sentenced to up to 90 years in prison.
The 36-year-old appeared for sentencing in Buffalo County District Court.
County Attorney Shawn Eatherton said the woman received 50 years for conspiracy to commit sexual assault and 15 to 20 years for each of two counts of possession of child pornography.
The mother of four was arrested last spring in a prostitution sting. Authorities said she used CraigsList to exploit her daughters.
Five men are charged with having sex with the girls.
Shad Chandler, of Lincoln, plead guilty in Lancaster County court Tuesday.
The mother still faces sentencings in Furnas and Franklin Counties.
10/11 & Nebraska Central News are not using her name to protect her daughters' identities.

When asked by gal pal Elaine about the likelihood of convincing a love interest to "change teams," Jerry Seinfeld declared, "He's not going to suddenly switch sides. When you join that team it's not a whim. He likes his team. He's set with that team."
Well, not always. This week, U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., announced that he's no longer, um, comfortable with the GOP's equipment (namely, their increasingly right-wing positions, he said) and will therefore compete in his state's 2010 Democratic primary.
The trade deal had apparently been some time in the making. Illinois' Dick Durbin, also the Dems' No. 2 guy in the Senate, released a statement saying: "For some time now, many of us in the Senate have approached Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and asked him to join the Democratic caucus." Specter's moving to the other side also gives Democrats 60 votes, and more importantly, the ability to tell Senate Republicans GFYS on controversial legislation they would otherwise be able to block.
Meanwhile, Roland Burris, the junior senator from Illinois whose removal from office remains a possibility depending on the outcome of a Sangamon County state's attorney investigation, is staying mum for the most part. "Senator Burris welcomes Senator Specter to the Democratic side and looks forward to working with him," was all we were able to get from his Illinois press office about Specter's conversion.

GARETH Davies admitted slack defending was his Fairford side's undoing as they crashed out of the FA Cup following a 3-1 home defeat to Knaphill.
On a day where the FA Cup trophy was the star attraction at Cinder Lane, three first-half goals from the visitors were enough to kill off Fairford as they exited the competition at the extra preliminary round stage.
Fairford did grab one back after the break, and also missed a penalty, leaving Davies frustrated on what was a special day for the club.
"It was a really good day for the club but, for us on the pitch, 45 minutes of poor defending has really cost us," he said.
"After the break we were a lot better and played some good stuff, we defended better and won the second half 1-0, but we said at half-time we've left ourselves with a real mountain to climb due to poor sloppiness which cost us.
"It was a big day for the club and to get a result like that was really disappointing. We missed a penalty as well so if that could have gone in things could have been different but it wasn't our day.
Despite the result, Davies and his players were able to enjoy the experience of having the FA Cup at the ground.
"The club put on a really good day and all the players and family got there early and could have their pictures taken with the trophy, which was nice," he said.
"The management had to have one too and all the people who turned up to watch, and to be fair to the FA the trophy was out on the pitch when the teams came out and both teams were able to have their pictures taken with it then.
"All in all it was a nice touch and it was good to see, although the only disappointing thing is that the result didn't go for us."

Planning a trip to San Diego Comic Con 2011 and don't want to be stuck in boring-sounding panels about the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund? (Zzzz?) Not to worry – CraveOnline has got you covered.
Though I'll be at booth L5 all show with my comedy magazine The Devastator (mention CraveOnline and get a free high-five!), here are Saturday's can't-miss comedy panels that unfortunately I will be missing. We already made guides for Thursday and Friday — the Sunday comedy guide is coming soon! So let's skip past the panels on comic book tie-ins for video games based on movies originally adapted from comic books, and get to the goddamn funny. Here are some panels that stood out to me for their potential hilariousness:
12:15-1:00 Futurama— Futurama is back! Again! On stage will be creator/executive producer Matt Groening, executive producer David X. Cohen, and stars Billy West (Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg), Katey Sagal (Leela), John DiMaggio (Bender), and Maurice LaMarche (Kif Kroker, Calculon, Morbo). Get a sneak peek at never-before-seen footage of Futurama reincarnated as Japanese anime, along with a thrilling preview of this summer's new season on Comedy Central. Moderated by Bill Morrison. Ballroom 20
Good news, everyone! The executive producers and voice actors for TV's smartest sitcom – ever? – will be in Ballroom 20 this year. They'll probably invent some kind of Comic-Con mathematic principal by the end of the panel. Convention Nachos + Stomach x Long Day Wearing Naruto Costume = Barf
1:00-2:00 Community— The cast and creative team from Sony TV's critically acclaimed NBC series — Joel McHale (The Soup), Chevy Chase (Hot Tub Time Machine), Donald Glover(30 Rock), Yvette Nicole Brown (Rules of Engagement), Danny Pudi (Greek), Gillian Jacobs (Choke), Jim Rash (Reno 911), and Ken Jeong (The Hangover Part II), and executive producers Dan Harmon (The Sarah Silverman Program), Joe Russo (Arrested Development),Anthony Russo (Arrested Development), Neil Goldman (Scrubs), Garrett Donovan(Scrubs) and Russ Krasnoff (The Soloist) — come together for an animated discussion and Q&A session about what's in store for viewers this fall!Indigo Ballroom, Hilton San Diego Bayfront
Grab your paintball gear and join the cast & producers of NBC's critically-beloved comedy! It's in the afternoon too, so no need to wake up early, like you have to for your stupid morning classes.
2:35-3:15 American Dad— Catch a preview of the Season 7 premiere of American Dad, featuring guest star Cee-Lo Green as a singing hot tub, followed by a Q&A with cast members Wendy Schaal, Scott Grimes, Rachael MacFarlane, and Dee Bradley Baker and executive producers Mike Barker, Matt Weitzman, and Kara Vallow. Ballroom 20
After a rocky first season, American Dad has grown to become one of the most daring, reliably funny sitcoms out there. Catch the cast at this event and see Cee-Lo Green as a "singing hot tub." Go on, American Dad. I'm listening.
4:00-5:30 Scott Shaw!'s Oddball Comics— As seen in the pages of Geek Monthly magazine, cartoonist Scott Shaw! (Captain Carrot and the Final Ark, Bart Simpson Comics, Simpsons Summer Shindig) brings back his ever-popular digital slide show featuring "the craziest comic books ever published!" See why Stan Lee said, "Wow, True Believers, I thought I'd seen it all, but Scott Shaw's hysterically hilarious Oddball Comics is the wildest, wackiest exposé of some of the craziest comic books I've ever seen! Or, to put it mildly, Scott's outrageous opuses are a blast!" Room 7AB
Oddball Comics is like the MST3K of the comics world. Scott Shaw finds hilarious, ridiculous old comic books and rips them to shreds. Not literally – calm down collector nerds! He just makes fun of them.
6:00-7:00 The Penny Arcade Q&A— After establishing their tiny media empire in the gaming space with PAX, PAX East, Child's Play, Penny Arcade: The Series and the recently announced animated feature film The New Kid, Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik do their first Comic-Con panel in two years. Business, life, art, games, parenting — all topics are on the table. Room 25ABC
If you're a gamer who loves comics, chances are you eagerly await the next Penny Arcade webcomic. If you didn't get to go to PAX this year, here's your chance to see Gabe and Tycho (XBOX) live and in-person.

By Joseph A. Klein —— Bio and Archives June 4, 2010
Hamas' allies have achieved what they set out to do – to push Israel into a corner by provoking a confrontation against the blockade-breaker flotilla of ships and then using Israel's response to force an end to the blockade against the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
If the humanitarian needs of the people of Gaza were the first concern of the Free Gaza Movement and their co-sponsors from Turkey and elsewhere, they would have accepted Israel's repeated offers to allow their cargo to be delivered to Gaza after the Israelis had an opportunity to inspect to ensure that there were no weapons aboard. They refused because embarrassing Israel was their primary objective.
Israel's blockade, which Egypt was also instituting at its border, is perfectly legal under international law according to the law of blockade which was derived from customary international law, codified in the 1909 Declaration of London and updated in 1994 in a legally recognized document called the "San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea." As required by this international law, Israel declared the blockade, notified it to all belligerents and neutral states, and blockaded only the area under enemy control. Hamas rules Gaza and is engaged in armed hostilities with Israel, which it has vowed to destroy.
Under international law, Israel can use force when boarding a ship headed for the belligerent area controlled by its enemy Hamas even if the ship's passengers and cargo were truly all peace-loving humanitarians. In this case, the so-called humanitarian flotilla included a number of non-humanitarian Islamic jihadists, some of whom were armed and ready for a fight.
According to information quoted by MEMRI, the Egyptian flotilla delegation included two members of the Muslim Brotherhood bloc in the Egyptian parliament: Muhammad Al-Baltaji and Hazem Farouq. Two of the Jordanian participants in the flotilla, according to MEMRI, were Wael Al-Saka, a Muslim Brotherhood member, and Salam Al-Falahat, who was general guide of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan from 2006 to 2008. The Lebanese flotilla delegation was headed by attorney Dr. Hani Suleiman, who also participated in a February 2009 Gaza flotilla. In 2006, he signed a communiqué supporting armed resistance in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq.
The Free Gaza Movement, which had organized smaller efforts to break Israel's blockade in the past, teamed up this time with a Turkish group, Insani Yardim Vakfi (known as IHH), to raise money and assemble the larger flotilla, which precipitated the confrontation. IHH has connections with Hamas and other radical Islamic groups.
Israel was acting lawfully in imposing and enforcing its blockade against Hamas. However, in the international community - reflected at the United Nations - international law is regularly stood on its head. Unfortunately, Israel took the bait, and the propaganda machinery of the United Nations was immediately put into the service of the Palestinian "victims" of Israeli "aggression."
At the United Nations Security Council this past weekend, the Obama administration sided with Israel's enemies in putting Israel on the defensive over its blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza.
The UN Security Council unanimously agreed on a Presidential Statement that placed all of the blame on Israel for the fatalities that occurred during the latest attempt by Hamas supporters to break the Israeli blockade. The Obama administration gave the Lebanese representative who was serving as the rotating president of the Security Council, and his Islamic ally from Turkey who also sits on the Security Council, its blessing. As usual, the UN document contains no context behind the tragic incident.
After the Security Council acted, the rabidly anti-Semitic UN Human Rights followed up on June 2nd with a decision to dispatch a "fact-finding" mission to investigate Israel's interdiction, having already declared Israel guilty. That same day at UN headquarters in New York, I witnessed first-hand the blatant incendiary propaganda of the Libyan UN ambassador and the Palestinian UN observer as they attacked Israel and demanded another "international" investigation of Israel's conduct by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. But they must have known something about the Obama administration's intentions, because they indicated that the United States was now in line with the other members of the Mideast quartet - the European Union, United Nations, Russia - in demanding an immediate end to Israel's blockade.
Sure enough, senior administration officials were quoted the next day in the New York Times as declaring that the Obama administration considers Israel's blockade of Gaza to be "untenable" and "plans to press for another approach to ensure Israel's security while allowing more supplies" into Gaza.
How exactly does the Obama administration intend to "ensure Israel's security" if the Israeli blockade is lifted? Will it dare cross its Islamic allies including Turkey, a member of NATO and one of the more "moderate" Islamic states until taken over by an Islamic ruling party, which is leading the charge against Israel? I'm quite certain that the answer is resounding "no."
Will Obama press for a UN Security Council resolution prohibiting the transport of arms and of trained jihadist fighters to Gaza? Even if such a resolution could be passed over the objections of the Council's Islamic members Turkey and Lebanon, it will be no more effective than its ban on arms to Hezbollah that Iran and Syria regularly violate.
Could some sort of multinational naval and land contingent be put into place to inspect for arms in place of Israel's blockade? Unlikely, to put it mildly. Does anyone seriously think that the Obama administration, much less any European or non-aligned country, would risk putting its own standing with the "international community" at risk by replacing Israel as an enforcer and confronting another Free Gaza activist ship? Again I think not.
Israel gave peace a chance five years ago when it withdrew its soldiers and settlers from Gaza. Extensive imports into Gaza and exports out of Gaza were allowed until Hamas forcibly took the Gaza Strip over and kicked out the Palestinian Authority. Humanitarian supplies, including food and medicines, continue to be allowed in, despite repeated provocations from Hamas.
Nothing has changed on Hamas' side. It is still dedicated to destroying the Jewish state. It smuggles arms to use in carrying out its threat, how and whenever it can. It continues to hold Israeli soldier Staff Sgt. Gilad Shalit in captivity.
It is Hamas, not Israel, that must fundamentally change, before the blockade can be safely lifted. With the Obama administration's willingness to reward Hamas for its intransigence by continuing to pressure Israel for more and more unilateral concessions, Hamas and other Islamic terrorist groups will only become more emboldened. And that should worry Israelis and freedom loving Westerners alike.

The Effect Of Feedgrain Program Participation On Chemical Use
Economic incentives created by the commodity programs are hypothesized to cause program participants to apply agrichemicals at greater rates than nonparticipants. Corn producers who participate in the USDA feedgrain program are shown to apply nitrogen, herbicides, and insecticides at statistically greater rates than those who do not participate.

Brandeis blows out South San for first playoff win
Updated 11:35 pm, Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Brandeis post Mykel Costley had a feeling it was going to be a good night after her first layup.
But even she never expected it to be as good as the Broncos' 71-44 blowout of South San in a Class 5A bisdistrict game Tuesday at Littleton Gym.
Costley, who averages 6.5 points per game, scored 21 in the first half, helping Brandeis (25-11) to its first playoff victory in school history.
The Broncos will play Steele in the second round Friday.
"That was unreal," said Costley, who also grabbed nine rebounds. "From the tip, I was just feeling it, and they kept feeding it to me."
Sports Channel
South San (17-17), with no players taller than 5-foot-9, had no physical answer for the 6-1 sophomore. Costley started right away, scoring eight points during Brandeis' 12-0 run to open the game. The Broncos built a 42-24 halftime lead by scoring easy layups in transition after beating the Bobcats' press.
"Our motto is, 'If you press, we're going to score,'" Brandeis coach John Ince said.
Costley sat most of the second half with the game in hand. Her teammates were more than capable of keeping the big lead. Senior guard Rose Maldonado added 20 points, and nine other Broncos scored.
South San star guard Lauren Rubio couldn't find her shot and finished with 13 points — just one in the second half.
"We just keyed in on her the entire night, face-guarded her and chased her everywhere," Ince said. "And the gamble worked."
New Braunfels Canyon 54, Kerrville Tivy 45: With Canyon star guard Chamaya Turner facing constant double-teams, Kelsey Flanagan and Jackie Schaake picked up the slack, each scoring 14 points in a Class 4A bidistrict matchup in the early game at Littleton.
Flanagan hit three first-quarter 3-pointers to give the Cougarettes (24-6) an early lead.
But the Antlers (13-18) fought back and took a 33-32 lead late in the third.
Flanagan answered with a layup, then Schaake swished a 3-pointer to give Canyon the lead for good.
The Cougarettes pulled away by getting consistently to the line, making 10 of 16 free throws in the fourth. Tivy attempted just 10 all game.
Turner had just two field goals but made 9 of 15 free throws to finish with 13 points. She also fought through a hamstring cramp that cost her half the third quarter.
"I obviously need some more pickle juice," Turner said. "But it's playoff time, and I'll play through anything. It was time to win."
