In two separate incidents on Saturday, 11 people, including two young children, were rescued by members of the .
According to the Coast Guard, the first distress call came in around 9 a.m. from a boat carrying 5 people. The 24-foot vessel, the coast guard said, was located in Peconic and was taking on water.
The Coast Guard, along with a salvage boat, were able to safely get everyone off the boat, which was towed and de-watered.
Then, at 6 p.m., the Coast Guard received another distress call of a 19-foot sailing vessel with six people aboard that was taking on water.
Coast Guard officials said they arrived at the boat, which was near Shinnecock, within minutes to find that a fellow boater had been able to pull four people from the water, including two small children. The Coast Guard helped the remaining two adults from the water.
All those rescued were taken to the Shinnecock Coast Guard Station, where emergency medical personnel treated them.
"Today's two cases could've ended a lot worse if it weren't for the swift response from the Coast Guard crews, the commercial salvage company and the Good Samaritan," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael Fusco. "It's important for mariners to make sure their vessel is seaworthy and outfitted with the required safety equipment prior to getting underway. Although incidents like today's are rare, its important to know what to do in the event of an emergency before it happens."

Brides BEWARE-Don't get your flowers here! – When I first met with Richard to discuss my dream wedding flowers, I brought my laptop with pictures of all white bouquets that I wanted him to create. He told me that he does all white bouquets all the time and it would be beautiful...I asked if he had any pictures and he did not, so I regretfully took his word for it and ordered all my bridal party flowers with Seahorse Florist. The day of my wedding (3:30pm), my cousin brought the flowers to me to show them to me and they had mostly white flowers and RED roses throughout...definititely NOT what I had ordered and what we had discussed. This did not go with my "white winter theme". At this time, it was 1pm and I could either let it ruin my day or move forward, so I chose the latter. But when we returned from our honeymoon, I called the owner, Harry, personally to discuss this error and he basically told me that Richard wrote down red roses on his paper from our earlier meeting and that he says that is what I wanted and it is my fault if I did not check over what he wrote down on his paper and that they made the flowers that I had ordered. I told him that they did not complete the order that I had wanted and was (and still am) very upset that I paid $400 for flowers that I did not want and that did not go with my wedding theme. I asked what he could do to reimburse me for this error and he told me that "all he could do is give me $25 in a refund" for ruining my wedding flowers and then he had the audacity to tell me that the wrong flowers were probably better than what I wanted is a direct insult...$25 is obviously a mute amount for such an important day and I feel like that is more of an insult than anything. I thought they were fully capable of handling my wedding flowers, but the fact that THEY made an error in my order, expecting me to look over their employees shoulders to verify that everything we were talking about was correct (in which I never received a written copy of what he wrote down so I have no way of verifying what he wrote down), and then basically telling me it was my fault and that I was mistaken because that is what I had ordered, AND only offering $25 in a refund makes me sick to my stomach and definitely put a damper on the most special day in my life. Thanks Seahorse Florist for nothing...Brides BEWARE! Go somewhere else

Wrestling Title Won't Come Without A Fight
The SCSU wrestling team finishes the season 21-0, securing the number one spot in the nation. After winning the Super Regional III championship, the Huskies finished with 156 points and five of the eight first place votes from coaches around the country.
"I am very proud of how they have competed all season long. They have been consistent, committed, and competed with a lot of grit," said head coach Steve Costanzo. "It is really difficult for any team in any sport to do what they have done."
The Huskies will have their hands full, facing the stiffest competition in the country. On SCSU's heels is Notre Dame (Ohio) finishing only three points behind the Huskies and receiving 2 first place votes. Nebraska-Kearney finishes in third with 139 points and one first place vote, according to SCSU Athletics.
The tournament is set up in ten different weight classes, within those brackets the top 16 wrestlers in the country will face off. It is a two-day tournament, going from March 8-9, and is being held in Birmingham, Ala.
"I feel like we have a great chance to win a national championship next weekend," Costanzo said. "It will come down to bonus points and teams that can compete the best on the back (consolations) sides."
Coming into the national championship ranked No. 1 , with the leadership and experience on this roster, makes this an extremely tangible goal.
Senior Shamus O'Grady makes his fourth trip to the NCAA Championship, previously coming in fourth in 2012, fourth in 2011, and second in 2010. He is currently ranked at No. 1 in the nation at the 184-pound weight class.
Jacob Kahnke (senior) also finds himself in the top slot at the 285-pounds going into the championship tournament. Kahnke is a three-time All-American, and was ranked second in the country in 2011-12 and 2010-2011.
Freshman wrestlers Clint Poster (157-pound), Gabe Fogarty (165), and Matt Nelson (141) will all be making their first NCAA Division II Championship debuts.
Joining these Huskies will be sophomore Eric Forde (125-pounds), senior Andy Pokorny (133), senior Jacob R. Horn (149) and senior Kurt Salmen (174).
Eric Forde is currently ranked second in the country at the 125-pound range; Andy Pokorny also holds the second spot at 133-pound weight class.
Jacob R. Horn is anchoring the fifth position at the 149-pound weight class and Clint Poster comes in ranked second at the 157-pound division.
"Rankings are out the window," Shamus O'Grady said in an SCSU Wrestling interview. "Anything can happen."
That couldn't be more accurate with powerhouse programs like Central Oklahoma, Nebraska-Kearney, Notre Dame College (Ohio) and Newberry College.
The Newberry Wolves set a program record this year in points in their Super Regional I championship.
Notre Dame College (Ohio) has only been competing in the NCAA for one year and comes into the tournament ranked second in the nation.
Nebraska-Kearney is the defending champs of the 2011-12 Division II Wrestling Championship, and comes in this year ranked third in the country. Although 63 percent of voters on NCAA.com say Nebraska-Kearney will not repeat as national champions (1137 total votes).
Central Oklahoma finished two points behind Notre Dame (Ohio) and comes into the national championship ranked fourth, led by two No. 1s – Casy Rowell (133-pounds) and Cory Dauphin (157- pounds).
The national title won't come easy, but the Huskies have put themselves in a great position to bring home the championship.
O'Grady tells SCSU Athletics, "The most important thing is being ready to perform, stay focused and dominate."

Since our launch back in 2006, tastecard has now become the UK's largest diners' club. Our current membership base of over 800,000 members spend in excess of £600m annually at our UK-wide portfolio of fantastic, quality restaurants.
tastecard offers an unparalleled, one-of-a-kind marketing strategy for your restaurant; one that will see you increase the number of new bookings and gain new customers as you access our massive consumer base and your share of the £600m our members spend annually in our partner restaurants.
A recent piece of market research showed that 78% of our members choose to eat out only at tastecard restaurants. This kind of devoted customer loyalty (and the resulting increased covers and revenues) is what your restaurant is currently missing out on. With various offer profiles we are sure we can accommodate your requirements and make tastecard work for you.
Even though we're the largest diners' club in the UK, we certainly haven't rested on our laurels. As our membership has grown and developed, we have developed and launched a host of new digital media platforms to reach both new and existing customers. We are continually planning and developing our digital strategy and we are targeting discerning, connected, media-savvy customers with our smartphone App (which was recently nominated as the UK's best money saving App at the UK 'Appy' Awards, and featured on the BBC's Click programme). Our current range of smartphone Apps will soon be complemented by our iPad edition, which will spread the word about the tastecard discount scheme even further afield. These digital platforms are under-pinned by a huge, in-house, email marketing database of over 1 million UK foodies and is complemented by a large social media network; we have over 70,000 likes on our facebook page alone!
As well as our digital media platforms, we produce a high quality guide in which your restaurant would be featured. The tastecard network is regularly featured and recommended in a host of high profile publications such as The Mail, The Independent, The Guardian, Which? Magazine, BBC Worldwide (TV Coverage), Metro, Delicious Magazine, Olive Magazine, GQ Magazine, Hello and OK! to name but a few.
We would love to welcome your restaurant to the tastecard network and we are positive that you will see massive benefits from being part of this continually expanding club.
So there you go... so many reasons to get involved, however we have saved the best reason until last. This is all absolutely FREE of charge to you! At no point in our relationship will we ever charge you... for anything... that's our guarantee!

I agree with the other reviewers. This is a very handy tool. StewMac might consider offering a small engineers square, 3 or 4 inch should be good, that's what I use to line it up.
I've used this jig once so far, but the results were excellent. I had a vintage-drilled Strat neck and a set of Fender-Schaller locking tuners. This jig was a big time saver. The conical centering piece worked well even with my hand-reamed holes. The pin spacing proved to be dead accurate. One caveat: torque the jig down good and tight and work slowly. The jig will want to rotate as you drill. I like simple, well-made tools. And this fits the bill.
This is a fantastic tool, that saves time, trouble, and heartache. It's made a complicated life a little simpler. And for that I thank it!
This jig makes life much easier! Very simple, easy to use and well worth the money!
I have been replacing tuning machines for friends and clients for the better part of a decade. This tool makes the process fly by with incredible accuracy. I also love how it protects the rest of the headstock from accidental damage with its guide. This tool, like beer, is proof of heaven on earth!
This does work but I'm not quite as happy as the other reviewers. Its expensive- and it takes lots of time and pains to be sure it's lined up correctly. The final job turned out just as it should so I'm not complaining but the reviews didn't prepare me for the tediousness required. If you need to drill the locating holes this is the only thing I've seen that will do it.
I bought this tool to install Schaller and sperzel tuners into new necks that I've made. So far used it for two sets of schaller's and it works great.
I found the easiest way to line up the tool was to use a square running along the top edge of the headstock where the tuner buttons are located. Then push the other edge flush up against the back of the jig. This will ensure your tuners are mounted exactly parallel to the top edge of your headstock.
Highly recommend this tool if you plan to install tuners of this variety, it is quite expensive but will last for a long time!
This jig made easy and quick work out of installing locking tuners. This was purchased for installing a set of Schaller tuners onto a guitar previously fitted with Sperzels and I used a spare bit inserted into the Sperzel designated hole to ensure that the Schallers would line up perfectly with the previous alignment. Highly recommended.
I actually bought two of these. I had tried to make a similar unit out of plastic it was a dismal failure. The reason I bought two is so I can put one on each side of the head and then use a straight edge to make sure they are aligned to each other. This worked great on my last build. I think every luthier should have a couple of these in their tool box.

The news is not all bad. Yes, we keep hearing that the percentage of people in the United States who believe in God is shrinking. And, according to census data, the number of people who self-describe as having "no religion" continues to grow. But while those figures are important, they do not tell the whole story.

I was at a party the other week talking to an old friend that had recently launched a startup. He was sharing some interesting statistics on the growth of the startup, that they have increased sales by X and clients by Y. In all, it was very positive news. After a few minutes of conversation, I asked him whether or not the business was successful. I was expecting a short and simple, "Yes!" Instead what I received was a rehashing of the metrics he had already shared. Having known him for a while, I felt comfortable stopping him mid-sentence asking, "It's great that you're meeting all these goals and objectives, but does that mean your startup is successful?
His response, "I don't know."

Gary Patterson not tuned into June Jones
Gary Patterson, the 10th-year coach of the No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs has never been afraid to use the words of others to fire up his own team. He did it just last week with Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, who had some rather innocent comments about the Frogs being a step above Baylor's previous conquest, Buffalo.
Patterson took exception to being just one step above the aforementioned Buffalo.
Now, Patterson isn't quite getting what June Jones, the resurrector of SMU pigskin, is laying down about Friday's Battle for the Iron Skillet at SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium (7 p.m., ESPN).
"It's the second week in a row we're playing somebody, and I guess having a ranking to you, it's a statement game for those people," Patterson said. "June's done a good job with words. I didn't quite understand the intent of the meaning. In one sense, he said it's not any bigger game for him, but it could be a statement game for the program. So, is it not a big game or is it a big game or what exactly is it?
Here's what Jones said to reporters at SMU's practice Monday morning: "You've got a chance to make a statement on national TV. At the same time, our next two conference games [Rice and Tulsa] after this one are something that we're trying to stay focused on."
That wasn't all Patterson nit-picked.
Jones also said: "We're going to play hard. We'll have fun. They [TCU] will come in here and try to embarrass us physically. Hopefully, our kids will rise up and play hard."
Patterson will insist forever that he's not out to embarrass anybody or rack up style points against anyone. Hey, he remembers 2005 when SMU handed TCU a loss in week 2, as it turned out, its lone loss of the season.
So, Patterson retorted: "I saw something on TV and read it where it was we were coming over to humiliate 'em. We're coming over to win by one point. SMU is a good football team. It's always a war. It's especially always a war when we play over at Ford Stadium. It's not going to be any different than that. So, I understand the challenge to get more people in the stands and get everybody fired up. But, the bottom line to it is we're just trying to go win a ballgame."
Later during Patterson's weekly Tuesday press conference, he said that as far as he's concerned, he and Jones are good friends.
Let's hope the game is as good as the coaches' banter.

Quantum Looks Forward to Results of USGS-funded Study on Nebraska Rare Earths
University of Colorado, University of Nebraska to Examine Elk Creek Test Results
Vancouver, B.C., January 31, 2012 – Quantum Rare Earth Developments Corp. (TSX.V – QRE, FSE – BR3, OTCQX – QREDF, www.QuantumRareEarth.com) CEO Peter Dickie said the company is extremely pleased that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has included Quantum's Elk Creek, Nebraska rare earth elements (REE) site in a federally funded research project on mineral resources that are important to the economy, national security, and land-use decisions.
Quantum looks forward to cooperating with the grant recipients. Quantum has been testing historic and recent core samples at Elk Creek, including historic samples that were stored at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The principal scientists for the research will be Lang Farmer of the University of Colorado and Matt Joeckel and Richard Kettler of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They were selected from among other applicants for MRERP funding from academia, state agencies, private sector organizations and other scientists.
The USGS grant announcement stated, "The University of Colorado and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will conduct a collaborative research project to examine the age and origin of the REE resources of the Elk Creek deposit in southeastern Nebraska by investigating previously collected drilling core. The Elk Creek REE deposit is found in a rare carbonate-rich igneous rock known as carbonatite. In addition to REEs, the Elk Creek carbonatite may comprise the largest niobium resource in the United States. Niobium is primarily used as an alloying element in steels and superalloys, such as materials used in high performance aircraft. This research is expected to yield data and information that will advance exploration and assessment models for similar REE deposits."
The total amount of the five MRERP grants from USGS is more than $260,000. For additional details, see http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=3082
"Although the US is currently dependent on foreign imports for our supply of rare earths and other critical elements that are essential for the high tech industry, our nation is actually rich in deposits of these valuable minerals," explained USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "The Mineral Research Grants help provide the basic research foundation to better develop our domestic resources and thus become less dependent on foreign imports."
On Behalf of the Board,
For further information, contact the Company at (604) 568-7365.

J. Christopher Edwards, «Reading the Ransom Logion in 1 Tim 2,6 and Titus 2,14 with Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-8», Vol. 90 (2009) 264-266
In this study I argue that the same author reads the ransom logion in 1 Tim 2,6 and Titus 2,14 in light of Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-8. The primary evidences are the parallel between the two i3na clauses in Titus 2,14 and Barn 14,6, as well as the idea of covenant mediator, combined with a universal perspective, in 1 Tim 2,1-7. Taken together, these evidences strongly suggest influence from Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-8.
Reading the Ransom Logion in 1 Tim 2,6 and Titus 2,14 with Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-8 The reception of the ransom logion in 1 Tim 2,6 and Titus 2,14 has occasioned much discussion. However, very little of this discussion, if any at all, involves observing how the logion is similarly received in both works. In this short study I will demonstrate that in 1 Tim 2,6 and Titus 2,14 the same author exhibits a pattern of reading the ransom logion in light of Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-8. Mark 10,45c kai; dou'nai th;n yuch;n aujtou' lutron ajnti; pollw'n v oJ dou;" eauton ajntivlutron J ; uper pavntwn J; 1 Tim 2,6 edwken [ eJauto;n uJpe;r hJmw'n, ina lutrwvshtai { Titus 2,14 The above comparison demonstrates why there is little doubt among scholars that 1 Tim 2,6 and Titus 2,14 are influenced by a version of the ransom logion similar to that found in Mark 10,45c. In what follows, I would like to discuss how these two occurrences of the ransom logion in the Pastorals are read in light of Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-8. I begin my discussion with the logion in Titus 2,14. The ransom logion in Titus 2,14 is augmented by two i{na clauses that serve to expand its meaning. The two i{na clauses following the self-giving statement (o}" e[dwken eJauto;n uJpe;r hJmw'n) are (1) i{na lutrwvshtai hJma'" ajpo; pavsh" ajnomiva", and (2) kaiv [i{na] kaqarivsh/ eJautw/' lao;n periouvsion. The vast majority of the secondary literature sees the same texts behind the first and second i{na clauses. The first i{na clause is said to be influenced by Ps 130,8 [129,8 LXX], the second i{na clause is influenced by Exod 19,5, and both clauses are influenced by Ezek 37,23 (1). I would like to suggest instead that Isa 42,6-7 and 49,6-7 are behind the two i{na clauses. I suggest this because the two i{na clauses in Titus 2,14 are almost completely parallel to Barn 14,6, and Barn 14,6 is nothing more than the author's summary of Isa 42,6-7; 49,6-7, which is quoted in Barn 14,7-8. In what follows, I parallel the two i{na clauses from Titus 2,14 alongside Barn 14,6. ina lutrwvshtai { hJma'" ajpov pavsh" ajnomiva" Titus 2,14a lutrwsamenon v hJma'" ejk tou' skovtou", Barn 14,6a kai; kaqarivsh/ eJautw/' lao;n periouvsion Titus 2,14b eJtoima'sai eJautw/' laon a{gion ; Barn 14,6b (1) F.

Usually single working women develop and get into the bad eating habits. The issue that you take on the easy note comes on a flare when you have missed the correct nutrition that was essential for your health remains but you often neglect them in hurry or in the burden of work.
But here is when your body has to struggle. Correct balanced nutrients are the key ingredients to run your body well and in the proper way. Being single, makes you neglect yourself and makes you fall in the diet busting habits. You can still overcome this.
Here are few simple and healthy meals for single women so that you can fall in healthy eating options that fit well even in your on-the-go lifestyle.
- Develop your temptation for easy making meals that you can prepare in no time. Try Crescent Roll Wrap Ups; this is a nutritious and hearty diet meal. Wrap the meat of your choice in a reduced fat crescent meat instead of the two breads. You can make it tangier by adding little cheese, mushrooms and onions to make your wrap more delicious. Now bake your wraps until they are brown and crumbling and enjoy the delicious crescent wrap roll. You can enjoy it more with mustard or any low-fat dip
- Italian cuisine is always welcomed as it is simple and food that doesn't wreck your diet plans. One of the simplest and easy making meals here can be the veg. pasta. You can add vegetables according to your choice like mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli or the bell peppers. The steps are easy to follow, slice all the vegetables and put them in a sauté pan. Add 2 tablespoon of the reduced-fat Italian dressing and sauté the vegetable until they become soft and tender. Now add the cooked pasta of your choice and cook on medium flame. Serve it hot and enjoy the tangy pasta that is healthy as well as tasty.
- Another cuisine that tickles your taste buds is Chinese. You can still enjoy this Chinese cuisine without a trip to any Chinese restaurant. Make a chicken stir fry at home that is both easy and healthy. The best part to make Chinese at home is that it has the sauces that have low sodium and are low-cal. Now, select a lean meat and collection of the vegetables to make the stir fry. In a sauté pan, cook your meat with very little amount of oil so that sticking is avoided. Drain off the fat from the meat and then add all the vegetables. Cook them until they become tender and add the sauces. Mix all evenly and cook them on the low-heat flame. Serve it plain or with rice.
Making simple and healthy meal is not hard. You need little of efforts and creation in your fast life to be fit even if you are single working women.

As the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) continues its march across the United States, many homeowners, tree care professionals, municipalities or arborists often wonder if there are options to treat their trees to protect them from this invasive insect. Since 2002, scientists have learned much about EAB and methods to protect trees with the use of insecticides.
Keep in mind, however, that controlling insects that feed under the bark with insecticides has always been difficult. This is especially true with EAB, because our native North American ash trees have little natural resistance to this pest. In university trials, some insecticide treatments were effective in some sites, but the same treatments failed in other sites. Furthermore, in some studies conducted over multiple years, EAB densities continued to increase in individual trees despite annual treatment. Some arborists have combined treatments to increase the odds of success (e.g. combining a cover spray with a systemic treatment).
Our understanding of how EAB can be managed successfully with insecticides has increased substantially in recent years. However, it's important to note research on management of EAB remains a work in progress. Scientists from universities, government agencies and companies continue to conduct intensive studies to understand how and when insecticide treatments will be most effective.

Hello DaniWeb :)
For very long I've wanted to develop and venture into the Win32 API and make programs like I find on the internet. Show the world my creativity. I made a simple calculator with a GUI and Menu bar from scratch. I was proud but I was shattered when I found out that, to redistribute it and show my friends, I had to get them to download .NET framework...
I have Visual Studio 2010 and I've been struggling to disable the use of .NET. Even when I start from scratch for some wierd reason the program's I create still require .NET... Any suggestions ?
Thanks Alot Guys :)
------- Side Note -------
Reason for sticking with VS is that I really like flashy IDE's and a generic utility to give me realtime information. Like In Java you have Netbeans that gives you java documentations as you program your applications.
Right-click on your project in solution explorer and click Properties. Under Configuration Properties --> Common Language Runtime Support, ensure it is set to No Common Language Runtime Support.
When creating a new project, under Visual C++, select Win32 and then select either Win32 Console Application or Win32 Project.
Just to be sure, what are your friends installing to run it? They will require the VisualC++ Redistributable Package, as it contains libraries that they use. They should not however, require the full .NET Framework.
I commend you for your interest in Win32 becool. Its how I like to code. You really do have to pay close attention to project setup issues using Visual Studio simply because its so complex and sophisticated. I prsonally prefer using simpler lighter weight tools, but that is simply a personal preference.
Like you were told, you need to set up a Win32 project with no framework support. Carefully check out all the options available when setting up a project. Investigate all the screens. Also, when you have it set up, check out all the options in the 'Project Properties' screens. I know there are a lot of them. I don't have VS 2010 but rather VS 2008 Pro, and with that I can tell Visual Studio to statically link with the C Runtime so that I don't need any other support files for my program to run. A basic Win32 Gui (Hello, World! type) should come in around 8 or 10 K or so, and it should run without any redistributable, as it will only be linking with user, gdi, and kernel. And you should be able to distribute that 'as is'. At least I can with exes produced by VS 2008.

Last week's rally is looking more like the real deal and less like a mirage as stock futures tick higher this morning.
S&P 500 futures have gained 0.2% at 7:43 a.m. this morning, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have risen 0.2%. Nasdaq Composite futures have advanced 0.3%.
AstraZeneca (AZN) has gained 7.7% to $68.38 in pre-open trading on reports that Pfizer (PFE) had been in talks to purchase the pharmaceutical company. Shares of Pfizer have risen 1.2% to $30.60.
Nu Skin Enterprises (NUS) has advanced 8.2% to $93.50 after the multi-level seller said it would resume hiring workers in China on May 1.
Plug Power (PLUG) has gained 4.1% to $7.62 after it said it had closed nine deals worth $80 million in a press release announcing a conference call for an April business update.
Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) has surged 74% to $42.40 after the biotech company said it would submit a new application to the FDA for one of its drugs following Barron's bullish take on the company this weekend.
Blackstone (BX) reported a better-than-expected first quarter on Thursday, logging its most profitable quarter ever.
The private equity firm said it earned $814 million, or 70 cents a share, up from 55 cents a share in the year-earlier period and well ahead of the consensus estimate of 57 cents.
Revenue rose 19.9% to $1.51 billion, also above the $1.3 billion analysts were expecting.
Distributable earnings rose 24% year over year in the first quarter, as total assets under management climbed 25%, thanks to double-digit increases across all of its investing businesses. Fee revenues for its real estate business were up 18%, while its hedge fund securities unit saw revenues increase 16%.
Analysts were largely upbeat about the quarter. Citigroup's William Katz reiterated a Buy rating and $40 price target on the stock, writing that the market continues to undervalue the sustainability and diversity of the firm's growing assets under management: "It is clear BX is firing across capital raising and dry powder deployment while benefiting from an acceleration in the realization cycle. Moreover, BX's strategic positioning continues to strengthen and BCP V is approaching a carry position which should drive a step function in ENI and DE and thus distributions, in our view."
Sandler O'Neill's Michael Kim and James Howley reiterated a Buy rating on the stock and $37 price target, writing that realizations remain robust, fund raising has never been stronger, and the firm is increasingly leveraging its global scale: "At a high level, we think today's news further validate momentum continues to build across the franchise. Put another way, activity levels remain high across fundraising, deal flow, and realizations setting the stage for concurrent growth in AUM (up 25% year-over-year) and distributable earnings. In turn, we look for ongoing realization activity to power a ramp up in distributable earnings (and therefore distributions to unitholders) in the near term and beyond, thereby driving a superior growth/yield profile for the stock –not fully reflected at current levels, we believe."
Morningstar's Stephen Ellis noted that he planned to increase his $33 fair value estimate about 10% to reflect the better-than-expected performance: "While all of Blackstone's segments performed well, we're particularly impressed with private equity. Because of a 400%-plus increase in incentive income to $287 million, overall economic net income jumped over 200% to $319 million. During the quarter, the carrying value of the segment's holdings leapt 7%, outpacing the market, and BCP V appreciated almost 6%. The BCP V main fund now only needs a 3% increase in total enterprise value before it can meet its hurdle rate and recognize accelerated incentive fees under the 80/20 catch-up period. We expect the fund to start recognizing these accelerated fees in 2014. We're also pleased to see the close of the Tactical Opportunities fund at $5.6 billion, which was larger than our original expectations, indicating continued healthy demand for Blackstone's services."
Fellow financial names Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) also reported on Thursday, while Citigroup (C) delivered a beat earlier in the week.
Advanced merger talks between Barrick Gold Corp (ABX) and Newmont Mining (NEM) have broken down, according to sources close to the negotiation.
The world's two largest gold producers—who have pondered a combination in the past—couldn't reach an agreement this week, as The Wall Street Journal reports.
Of course, the on-again, off-again nature of their relationship means that the two could come back to the table in the future. In any case, both companies are feeling the pain of the drop in gold prices, which in 2013 saw their worst annual decline since 1981.
In the past year, Barrick is down 1.1%, while Newmont Mining has fallen 28.6%.
Wal-Mart (WMT) finished higher on Thursday, after announcing a new money-transfer business, Walmart-2-Walmart, launching next week.
The new service will let customers transfer as much as $900 through the retailer's U.S. network of more than 4,000 stores. The company says that the service will offer lower prices to its low-income customers, many of whom cannot participate in the regular banking system. The world's largest retailer already provides money orders and tax preparation, along with check-cashing, bill-paying services.
As The Wall Street Journal reports, Wal-Mart's prices do appear to undercut rivals. The market certainly seems to be nervous, sending Western Union (WU) 5% lower on Thursday, while MoneyGram International (MGI) suffered a 17.7% drop.
Janney Montgomery Scott analysts Thomas McCrohan and Leonard DeProspo advised investors to buy Western Union on the dip, writing "while we view the Walmart-2-Walmart service as a possible competitor to Western Union, we note that Walmart's service is somewhat limited in scope. We also note that approximately 8% of WU's total company revenues come from U.S. domestic money transfer, and this amount includes online transfers in addition to in-person transfers. Western Union's 46,000 agent location are approximately 10x Walmart's +4,000 locations."
They have a Buy rating and $19 price target on the stock.
Likewise, Morningstar's Brett Horn was optimistic about Western Union's position, reiterating a Buy rating and $22 target on the stock: "We don't see this development as having a major impact on Western Union, as it did not have a relationship with Wal-Mart, and the offering is limited to domestic transfers. As such, we will maintain our fair value estimate for that company. The price points listed for the new Wal-Mart service are slightly lower than existing industry price points for low send amounts (for amounts up to $50, the Wal-Mart service will charge $4.50 compared to a $5 fee at Western Union and MoneyGram), but materially lower for higher send amounts. This could pressure pricing in this niche, but domestic transfers within the U.S. account for a fairly small portion of Western Union's revenue, and its competitive position in domestic transfers has always been much weaker than its cross-border business, in our view, given the higher number of payment options available to consumers. Further, declining pricing has been an enduring phenomenon within the industry for many years."
However, Horn was less sanguine about MoneyGram, which has a contract with Wal-Mart, and said it accounted for 27% of its total fee and investment revenue last year. He kept a $15 fair value target on the stock (about 20 cents above its close Thursday), writing "Wal-Mart recently announced that it will be changing providers for domestic money transfers (transfers from one U.S. location to another), which will cut away a significant portion of MoneyGram's volume. Further, Wal-Mart's new flat-fee pricing structure could pressure pricing in this channel for high-dollar send amounts. With 30% of MoneyGram's overall volume coming from domestic transfers, it could be facing a double whammy of both lost volume and lower pricing. On the positive side, MoneyGram will still be Wal-Mart's provider for international transfers, and we think Wal-Mart's ability to switch providers in this area is much more limited."
Update: To clarify, Moneygram will still offer US-to- US money transfer services at Walmart locations. According to a statement from the company, "While Walmart is our single largest agent, and experiences healthy growth, it has been decreasing as a percentage of our revenue for the past five years…At this time MoneyGram is not taking pricing actions at Walmart or at any other U.S. location in response to Walmart's announcement. We will continue monitoring market dynamics and make decisions accordingly."
Honeywell (HON) was another of the many names that reported earnings Thursday.
The conglomerate said first-quarter earnings were $1.02 billion, or $1.28 a share, up from $1.21 a share in the year-ago period and two cents better than the $1.26 analysts had forecast.
Revenue climbed 3.8% to $9.68 billion, just below the $9.74 billion consensus.
As for individual divisions, its transportation systems unit saw the biggest sales jump, at 8.6%, followed by automation and control systems, the biggest contributor to the top line, which saw revenue climb 7.6%. The performance materials and technologies arm logged a 2.2% rise in sales, while the aerospace unit slipped $1.8%.
Honeywell also increased the lower end of its full-year earnings outlook by a nickel, saying it now expects to earn between $5.40 and $5.55 a share.
Citigroup's Deane Dray maintained a Neutral rating on the stock: "The company reported disappointing 1% organic revenue growth vs. 2%-4% expectations that were reiterated in March due to Aerospace and PMT. On the operating line, the company beat our estimates by $0.04 including better than expected operating margin in all four business segments. Despite some headwinds in PMT, the company was able to post consolidated 16.5% margins, up 30 bps Y/Y. Above-plan profitability allowed Honeywell to spend an extra penny on restructuring and proactive environmental remediation, above its $0.10 gain on its sale of BEAV shares. Cash was strong in the seasonally weak quarter with 49% conversion, allowing the company to increase its full year cash guidance. EPS guidance was increased by 5c at the low-end to $5.40-$5.55 with 3%-4% organic rev growth reaffirmed. Guidance for 2Q14 is $1.32-$1.36 vs our $1.37 estimate and consensus."
Morningstar's Daniel Holland was more optimistic, however, and reiterated a Buy rating and $105 fair value on the stock: "Honeywell's first-quarter performance reflected the benefits of having a diversified business model as weakness in the company's aerospace business, which was down 2% versus the prior year, was offset by strength in automation and controls as well as the aforementioned strength in turbochargers. Importantly, the company delivered margin expansion in three of the four operating segments, including a 30 basis point improvement in aerospace. As the company rolls out more of its operating initiatives linked to Honeywell Operating Systems, we expect meaningful margin expansion of two percentage points over the next five years, consistent with the low end of company's recently released five-year plan."
DuPont (DD) slipped on Thursday after its first quarter missed analysts' estimates.
The conglomerate said it earned $1.44 billion or $1.54 a share; excluding one-time items, per-share earnings were $1.58 a share, up two cents from the year-ago period but a penny below the $1.59 consensus.
Revenue slipped 2.7% to $10.1 billion, also below the $10.45 analysts were expecting.
The company noted that the extraordinarily harsh winter in many parts of the country hurt the results, to the tune of seven cents a share, as farmers delayed buying seeds and other agricultural products. Political uncertainty also disrupted sales in Ukraine, one of the world's largest corn and wheat exporters.
S&P Capital IQ's Christopher Muir was downbeat about the prospect of DuPont's outlook improving in the near term, lowering his rating on the stock to Sell from Hold, and lowered his target price by $1 to $64. "We negatively view the 3.4% year-over-year drop in sales, though the drop was more than offset by strong cost control efforts. Q1 recurring EPS of $1.58, vs. $1.56, missed our $1.76 estimate and the $1.59 Capital IQ consensus. The shares are yielding 2.7%.
By contrast, Citigroup's P.J. Juvekar reiterated a Buy rating and $78 price target, noting that the company executes as well as could be expected in poor weather conditions, and that its full-year guidance and share repurchase plan are positives: "DD reported 1Q14 EPS of $1.58 vs. our $1.56 and consensus of $1.58. The company explicitly called out a 7c/share impact from adverse weather conditions in 1Q, reflecting a combination of higher operating costs and lost sales. 2014 EPS guidance of $4.20-$4.45 was reaffirmed, with an estimated 70% of FY14 EPS expected in 1H. DD repurchased ~$1B of stock in 1Q, more than we anticipated, and is well-positioned to complete the targeted $2B of stock this year. The Perf Chemicals separation is on track for mid-2015, with physical separation of manufacturing sites underway and initial regulatory filings expected in 4Q14."
Noble Corp. (NE) reported an upbeat first quarter late Wednesday, as its top- and bottom-line results easily beat analysts' estimates.
The company said earned $256.3 million, or 99 cents a share, up from 59 cents in the year-earlier period and far ahead of the 70-cent per-share consensus. Revenue climbed 29% to $1.25 billion, compared to the $1.19 billion the Street had expected.
S&P Capital IQ's Stewart Glickman, upgraded shares from Hold to Buy late yesterday on the better-than-expected quarter: "With its newbuild expansion program almost done (only one unit left after '14), and pending spinoff of older assets, we think a rejuvenated NE offers strong potential as a premium asset offshore drilling play. Q1 EPS of $0.99 vs. $0.59 beat our est. by $0.25, partly on higher bonus payments for strong execution. We cut our 12-mo. target price by $2, to $35, reflecting an implied forward EV-to-EBITDA multiple of 6.6X, a modest discount to NE's historical avg., based on risk of excess industry capacity. Still, with shares down 19% YTD, we see risk-reward balance as attractive."
Elsewhere, Wunderlich Securities' Todd Scholl reiterated a Buy rating and $38 price target, writing "2014 outlook remains guardedly optimistic. Management believes the more guarded exploration and production spending pattern shown by some operators during early 2014 is temporary and that contract visibility, especially in the floating rig segment, is likely to improve as we progress further into 2014 and 2015.
Morningstar's Stephen Ellis maintained a Hold rating and $35 price target, noting that while the quarter was a bright one, he sees more challenges ahead: "Despite the reasonably healthy quarter, we still see Noble's (and the industry's) outlook as challenging. Noble admitted as much, indicating that more-guarded spending patterns by operators are having an impact. For example, Noble's backlog fell to $14.3 billion from $15.4 billion sequentially. Despite that, we see Noble as one of the better-positioned players, because the pending spin-off will rid the firm of many of its least-competitive assets, leaving Noble with a premium asset base. It's also possible that the spin-off could cause investors to rerate the stock from a multiple perspective toward a premium multiple such as Seadrill's (SDRL). The firm named Randy Stilley as CEO of the spin-off earlier this year, and we still believe a 2014 spin-off is likely."
See Seadrill's upgrade from Société Générale last week here.
It's a quiet morning with U.S. markets closed in observance of the Good Friday holiday, although stocks logged gains for the week as a whole.
On Friday morning, Sallie Mae (SLM) named Steven McGarry as chief financial officer of the future holding company of Sallie Mae Bank, to begin as soon as the student lender completes the split of its consumer banking and loan management, servicing and asset recovery businesses.
And several pieces of news from yesterday:
Home Bancshares (HOMB) announced late Thursday evening that it planned to acquire Florida Traditions Bank for $43 million in stock. Traditions Bank has approximately $312 million in assets, $249 million in loans and $279 million in assets. The deal is expected to close by late in the third quarter or early in the fourth.
Also late yesterday, Live Nation (LYV) said that it acquired Creativeman's minority stake in Live Nation Japan, giving it full ownership of the company.
The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Keith Seilhan, a former BP (BP) employee, with insider trading during the Deepwater Horizon oilspill in the Gulf of Mexico. The SEC alleges that Seilhan, who was in charge of BP's clean-up operations, was in a position to know that the spill was a much bigger disaster than the company originally estimated, and directed the sale of his family's $1 million of BP shares. Without admitting or denying the allegations, Seilhan agreed to return $105,409 of alleged ill-gotten gains and $13,300 of prejudgment interest and pay a $105,409 penalty.
Wal-Mart (WMT) announced it will enter the money transfer business with a new service, Wal-Mart 2 Wal-Mart, that allows customers to transfer as much as $900 throughout its U.S. store network.
Stocks started the day on a down note, but at least two of the three major indexes were able to claw their way back into positive territory by the end of Thursday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the odd one out, dropping 16.31 points, or 0.1%, to 16408.54, ending three days of gains. However, it is up 2.4% for the week, the largest one-week point and percentage gain since late December.
The Nasdaq climbed 9.29 points, or 0.2%, to 4095.52. It is also up 2.4% for the week, snapping a three week losing streak. The S&P 500 was up 2.54 points, or 0.1%, to 1864.85, and rose 2.7% for the week as a whole.
There were plenty of earnings news to mull today. General Electric (GE) rose as its industrial business boosted first-quarter profits, as did PepsiCo (PEP), helped by higher snack sales. By contrast, UnitedHealth (UNH) led a sector selloff as worries about implications of the Affordable Care Act masked a higher-than-expected profit. Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG), which reached multiweek highs earlier in the day, ended down nearly 6% as investors digested its report.
Among financial names, both Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) finished higher on earnings beats.
In energy, Baker Hughes (BHI) climbed while Schlumberger (SLB) lost ground.
The market will be closed tomorrow for the Good Friday holiday.
Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) ended Thursday down nearly 6%, giving up the initial pop it enjoyed after a mixed first quarter.
The burrito maker reported earnings of $2.64 a share, 22 cents shy of the consensus estimate of $2.86. However, revenue climbed 24.4% to $904.2 million, ahead of the $873.2 that analysts were expecting. Same store sales of 13.4% also exceeded expectations of a 9% gain.
The firm said that food costs rose 34.5% in the quarter on high commodity prices, which helped drive down restaurant level operating margins 40 basis points, to 25.9%. On the conference call, the company said it expects to increase menu prices by mid-single-digits in the current quarter.
The company raised full year comparable sales guidance to high single digits, from a previous estimate of low- to mid-single digits, roughly in line with consensus. It board of directors also approved more share repurchases, up to $100 million.
Sterne, Agee & Leach analysts Lynne Collier and Wesley Carmichael reiterated their Buy rating and $742 price target on the stock: "After an impressive print in terms of SSS/traffic, we believe today's weakness in shares is attributable to management's discussion around higher near-term food costs. While reducing our FY14 EPS estimate, we are encouraged that 2Q SSS to date are tracking in line with 1Q (ex-calendar shifts). Given strong sales momentum and an expected mid-year menu price increase, we are projecting double-digit comp growth in '14. CMG continues to be our favorite name for L-T investors."
Miller Tabak's Stephen Anderson reiterated a Hold rating on the stock, but did boost his fair value estimate by $20 to $530 on the news, writing that he sees "a mix of sustained top-line growth from catering, throughput, and mobile payment initiatives, a menu price increase that is being accelerated, and a gradual moderation in commodity costs leading to more aggressive margin expansion in the next four to six quarters. Our three-part bullish thesis on CMG remains intact: (1) high-single-digit comp growth supported by steady traffic growth; (2) more moderate food costs, which combined with the menu price increase we think will fuel margin expansion beginning in 2H14; and (3) a robust new unit pipeline. As we argue most investors now fully understand the upside potential for CMG—even with the 16% decline in the share price since late March, CMG shares now trade at just under 31x our 2015 EPS estimate—we still think there is limited upside in CMG shares. We recommend investors seeking exposure to the growing fast casual segment consider moving into Panera Bread (PNRA), which after a tough 2013 is seeking to implement many of the same throughput-driving measures CMG has undertaken in recent quarters."
Morningstar's R. J. Hottovy was more skeptical, maintaining a $410 fair value, despite viewing the quarter favorably: "Although we remain constructive about Chipotle's competitive position, we view the stock as priced to perfection. To justify the market price of $570, we believe Chipotle would have to more than quadruple its current unit base (8,000 units across all concepts), average high-single-digit comps, and expand operating margins to 30% over the next decade. We view Chipotle as the restaurant operator most capable of reaching these targets, but we believe an increased migration to the fast-casual space will keep the company from reaching these metrics."

The best business strategies must steer a course between the inevitable internal pressure for business continuity and the demands of a rapidly changing world.
Andrew Grove, who led Intel to greatness, first answers the question 'what is business strategy?' with a clear distinction between strategic action and strategic plans. He believes that business strategies should not:
• just be statements of intent;
• come across like a political speech;
• have concrete meaning only to management;
• concern themselves with events far in the future or have little relevance to today.
To formulate a basic business strategy, try this as a simple exercise:
• Take a piece paper and at the bottom, write a brief account of where the business is now.
• Then at the top, write where you want the business to be in 'x' amount of years (you decide the period).
• Next, in between the two write what you need to do and when you to do it to get from the bottom of the page to the top.
This exercise shouldn't take more than an hour.
You can read more about different types of business strategy and examples in the articles listed below.

Peter Schwartzman
Associate Professor and Chair of Environmental Studies
2 East South Street
Galesburg, IL 61401-4999
Farm to Fork Camp
More than 20 grade school students learned about every aspect of local food during two sessions of Farm to Fork, a summer camp held in July and August 2013 at Knox.
News Coverage of Farm to Fork
"Camp Teaches About Local Food"
Galesburg Register-Mail
"Teaching Kids to Farm in Town"
Tri States Public Radio
The camp sessions were taught by Peter Schwartzman, associate professor and chair of environmental studies at Knox, and Matt Wallen, manager of Growing Together, an educational farm in Galesburg.
In addition to classroom sessions, the students got experience with planting, harvesting, and preparing their own food. They also took field trips to local growing operations -- from a large-scale farm outside of Galesburg to small, neighborhood plots close to the Knox campus.
The camps, offered to students at no charge, were supported by a Specialty Crops Grant from the Illinois Department of Agriculture to Knox County and the Galesburg Regional Economic Development Agency.

SPOKANE, Wash. – The new academic year brings with it another round of annual college guide rankings and Gonzaga, once again, fares well in this proliferating arena.
U.S. News and World Report, considered by many the most important of the guides, ranks Gonzaga the No. 4 best "Regional University" in the West (tie), No. 2 for alumni giving, No. 4 for best value, and among the "A-Plus Schools for B Students." U.S. News also rates Gonzaga's School of Engineering and Applied Science, which marked its 75th anniversary last fall, tied for the No. 17 best undergraduate engineering program in the nation. Gonzaga's 81-percent graduation rate ranks No. 2 in the West and No. 8 (tie) nationwide among all regional universities. Gonzaga's MBA program is ranked No. 58 in the country by U.S. News.
This is the 12th straight year Gonzaga has been ranked among the West's top four regional universities, and the 16th consecutive year it's been ranked among the West's best. To read more about the U.S. News rankings, visit this link.
Following are the other significant rankings:
Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine ranks Gonzaga No. 50 in its 100 Best Value in Private Colleges nationwide for 2009-10 (its 2010-11 rankings will be issued later this year).
Forbes and the Center for College Affordability and Productivity ranked Gonzaga No. 144 of 6,600 accredited U.S. colleges "based on the quality of the education they provide, the experience of the students and how much they achieve."
Gonzaga is cited as one of Princeton Review's "Best in the West" in August 2010, and is lauded for its great sense of community and Jesuit traditions.
Finally, Gonzaga is among only 284 colleges and universities nationwide named by the nonprofit Center for Student Opportunity as a school that makes a difference in the lives of low-income, first-generation students.

A loving and caring place for your furry babies – I have been going to Dr. Enke for five plus years now. I love the staff and the doctor. The hospital itself has ample parking and is easy to get to. The grounds around the hospital are darling and peaceful. Always clean and well kept.
They listen to you and are helpful and sincerely care about my furry babies. I adopted my kitty girl from them about five years ago. I take my dog there and we have taken our family dog there too. They are caring and warm and genuine people and I believe that the prices are competitive and reasonable. I feel as though when I go in they treat the problem and dont try to sell you what you dont need. I leave this office feeling great and confident that my babies are always in good hands and have had the best care available to them and not feeling overwhelmed or with my wallet hurting. They explain things so you can understand them and I dont feel rushed or like Im taking up their time. It is wonderful. I highly recommend this vet hospital to anyone who wants a loving, caring and compassionate doctor and staff that you feel good going to and quality vet care and reasonable prices for excellent care.
