Dividends and Buybacks: What's Next for Airlines? - AOL Finance
Last year was a strong one for airlines and their stocks, with both earnings and share prices soaring, in some cases to record highs. The year was also met with new returns of capital to shareholders, as more airlines became dividend stocks. But will this trend continue, which airlines will join, and how will these airlines go about their plans?The dividend yearAirlines are not traditionally known as dividend-paying businesses, and years of tough competition and economic troubles have forced airlines to keep every penny they bring in. But 2013 saw the beginning of dividends by Delta Air Lines and Alaska Air Group , as well as the quadrupling of the dividend at Southwest Airlines .Profits across the industry surged and future outlooks improved, making paying dividends possible again. While these dividends still generate relatively small yields, investors are curious about which other airlines will follow this trend.The other big carriersAmong the legacy carriers, Delta Air Lines is the only one that pays a dividend, but it's worth examining the dividend potential at other large carriers. United Continental has noted the potential to begin paying a dividend, saying that earnings increases will help "to generate sufficient cash to begin allocating capital to shareholders by 2015."American Airlines Group is another story in itself. Late last year, the official papers were signed to merge US Airways and American Airlines parent company AMR to create American Airlines Group. However, the job of integrating two major airlines will take years and will be the primary focus of this airline. (I discuss this issue further in this article.)American Airlines Group is also on an aircraft buying spree. as the carrier seeks to cut fuel costs and build a new image through fleet renewal. This decision will use up much of the airline's spare cash. limiting options for other shareholder initiatives. The combination of aggressive fleet renewal and the merger integration leads me to believe American Airlines Group won't issue a dividend for several years as the carrier reinvests in itself.Dividend yieldsWhile some airlines do pay dividends, these are clearly not high-yield investments. Both Delta's and Southwest's dividends are less than 1%, and Alaska's is only 1.01%. To be fair, these were higher yields before the rally over the latter part of 2013, but even then yields were still less than 2%.It's not surprising why airline dividends have low yields. Airlines are hugely capital-intensive businesses and are often accompanied by high debt levels.Buyback alternativeAlthough airlines aren't known as star dividend payers, they are getting into the share-buyback game. Before initiating a dividend, Alaska Air Group bought back hundreds of millions of dollars in shares, and Delta's current dividend is part of a larger plan that also includes $500 million in buybacks.Share buybacks have their pros and cons, but I see them as a smart alternative to large dividends at airlines. Unlike dividends, which investors expect to run forever and which can raise red flags any time the payout is cut, buybacks can be turned on or off depending on market conditions. By using buybacks to grow shareholder value as opposed to larger dividends, airlines retain more flexibility to retain cash if fortunes turn sour for the industry again.Rewarding shareholdersAirlines have rewarded shareholders in 2013 enough with capital gains alone. But the companies are eager to use their good fortune to pay dividends and issue buybacks as well. While I see American Airlines Group as unlikely to begin a dividend in the near future, United Continental may join the dividend club in 2015 if market conditions continue to improve. Strong companies with growing dividendsOne of the dirty secrets that few finance professionals will openly admit is that dividend stocks as a group handily outperform their non-dividend-paying brethren. The reasons are too numerous to list here, but you can rest assured that it's true. However, knowing this is only half the battle. The other half is identifying which dividend stocks in particular are the best. With this in mind, our top analysts put together a free list of nine high-yielding stocks that should be in every income investor's portfolio.

Mainz – Minipresse – Small Print? | Letters From Germany

Turnfest or Where to look for the Real Fun →
5 responses to “Mainz – Minipresse – Small Print?”
Wow, that sounds like an awesome event! Did you sell many books?
I finally got around to updating my blog… things have been SO busy!
Hi, it was a very specialist event for handmade books. I was just along for the ride and meeting the deadline to finally get the book to print. I sold only a few copies and I admit I was not in the boiling tent for four days. On the other hand Truegerman was selling handmade notebooks – still need to put a picture up of the work – and sold a few. They were competing with the heat and a soccer game, so a bit slow for sales, but great for contacts and exchange for information.
We shared a table with BlueStove Editions – this is an american journalist living in Frankfurt and she was presenting her Mississipi Cookbook in German and English. She also published a cookbook written by her 12 year old neighbour (in the last photo) for vampires that suffer from human blood allergy. Young girls loved that!
I´ll be trying other possibilities (bookshops, schools, libraries) for selling the book. I don´t have that many copies, so I am not too worried, about getting my expenses back and I´ll follow up on your suggestion. Why not talk to a publisher..
Checked out your blog. Wow, you are very, very busy.

3D THOUGHT: The Pen
SHARE THIS: Posted by Gallardo Santini at 12:13 PM
This is an interesting assessment, that's for sure. I didn't watch the debate, but a couple of French analysts seem to have made a different reading into Mr Macron's delivery: they say he is the one with empty words. They also say he simply repeats what Hollande has said in 2012; and this week we learned the speech writer he hired used to work for Le Pen. Based on this, it can argued he is all over the place, example: to a socialist audience he says "I am a socialist" to a non-socialist audience he says "I'm not a socialist, never been, I am an independent"...(it's all documented) what do you infer from this?
I see a pattern forming: young pretty faces getting elected (by the people? Hmmm) and not being politically efficient. Ex: Obama, Trudeau and now Macron (if he wins). Is this what we want for the future of politics?
Hi Max thx for coming by!
I've saw the whole debate, and think when a person (Le Pen mostly) can't support its own arguments/ decisions, its demagogic populism on its best. I'm just emphasizing the choice itself i.e.its hard to choose when you have a "pretty face" and an extreme right winger.... I dont want to see Europe plunged in uncertainty more than it actually is.
Anyway as an European i want peace and progress (stability, employment, economic growth, and protection for the vulnerable)
2 end notes: its interesting how close the speech of Mdm Le Pen is so close to
Extreme Left wing... (with the exception of the racism, and defense...) sometimes i could close the eyes and listen portuguese Catarina Martins at Bloco de Esquerda speaking.
Apart from the political positions... there are some face phisionomy resemblenses between Salazar, Passos Coelho and Mdm Le Pen ah ah :))
If she didn't support her view with facts then she obviously deserved to lose. But I have a question: that woman is not dumb, by the contrary, so what made her pursue such a strategy? Did she really want to be a President or was she eyeing something else? 11 million people will become handy next month.
As a European, surely you have realised that we do not have peace, no stability, no economic growth (if I'm not mistaken the only countries set to truly grow are the UK, Brexit an all; and Germany), unemployment is rife (again, the only two countries with low unemployment rates are the UK and Germany) and the vulnerable are not being protected. How can that change with Macron, as a Portuguese citizen?
You are right about the similar rhetoric between the extreme right and left wings; but still there are differences. But do not be fooled: the Left (in general) is as racist as the far right - remember Hitler? His National Socialist party was racist but so was the Communist Party (both very anti-Semitic, though the Soviets were more subtle about it out of convenience). LOL Poor Catarina Martins, let's not exaggerate. Besides, she doesn't have Marine Le Pen's intelligence (with all due respect).
What do you mean by physiognomy resemblances? Salazar was of Jewish descent, are you saying that Passos Coelho e Marina Le Pen are the same?
My vote is just a continuous utopic hope...since politics have failed me until now. But in my head i can dream... cant i? tax free. Some time ago i went to dachau and had the opportunity to see and realize of how easy it is to take advantages of society misbelief/
lack of hope (starv, unemployment, ...)
easy propaganda and buzz that captured the citizens attention .... surely dont wan't another lunatic to repeat history. Sorry but i cant follow you saying that mdm le pen has a (real) strategy for le peuple. So many women in France and le pen is the only solution? Give me a break! Resemblenses :thin lips.
I suggest you re-read my comments above because I never said that Marine Le Pen had a "real strategy for le peuple". Well, take it to the French: why didn't the Socialist party put forth a female candidate? Because the last it did, Sarkozy ate her alive; why didn't the right wing party put forth a female candidate? Because that party has a true gender problem, from my perspective. Why didn't any independent woman run for president? Because no one would give her the money like they did to Macron. Marine Le Pen apparently was the only woman strong enough (in many senses) to run; but you didn't answer my question: what was her purpose, her strategy (when obviously to win was not it)?
Hey Max. I don't think that she has a strategy at all, besides power to rule.though she knew that wouldn't win... all the power that she can get is still usefull... even if it is in the long term. Oh well...

Brahminy Blindsnake, Indotyphlops braminus – Animal Bytes
Alex Howard, PhD student in the Museum, writes:
The jar is about barely bigger than my thumb, and the animal within is hardly any longer. When pressed, most people would probably conclude that it’s some sort of weird worm. With the naked eye it’s hard to even identify which end is the head.
It is, in fact, a snake. Indotyphlops braminus, also known as the Brahminy blindsnake or the ‘flowerpot snake’. Despite her small size and unilluminating features, she is actually one of the most interesting snakes out there. And I say she for a reason. I know this animal is female because all Brahminy blindsnakes are female. This species is the only known obligately parthenogenic snake. Parthenogenesis, or ‘virgin birth’ is when a female animal can give birth to viable offspring without the input of a male. This method of reproduction is actually pretty common in both lizards and snakes, but most species can also reproduce in the ‘traditional way’. What makes the Brahminy blindsnake so interesting is that they only reproduce via parthenogenesis.
This species is found throughout Southeast Asia and parts of Africa, including Madagascar, as well as the islands of the Indian Ocean and Northern Australia, giving it probably the widest distribution of any terrestrial snake. The wide distribution of this species is mainly due to its way of life. Individuals are very small and have a tendency to burrow around plant roots, and so humans have accidentally distributed them across four continents in the soil around exotic plants, hence the nickname ‘flowerpot snake’. And, due to their ability to reproduce by parthenogenesis, even a single individual can found a colony, so all it takes is for one little snake to reach the soil.
Alex will be at our International Women’s Day event Celebrating Women in Science and Conservation on 8 March 2018. Download our IWD programme 2018 or visit our Museum blog for more information.

Jay was such a nice person. When he recorded with me, he didn’t even hear the tracks before he was cued in. He played brilliantly and easily.
I thought he was so very talented and was sad when he was having problems with WILCO. I was so proud of him for being in that band.
The loss of WILCO hit him hard and he had a slow decline after that. I was in Champaign when he died. Was there for a reunion of the music scene with a lot of other people and we were all shocked and very sad to hear that he was gone. He was to play that night, too.

The Man Who Knew Too Much (1922) by G. K. Chesterton – crossexaminingcrime
November 18, 2015 November 18, 2015 armchairreviewer
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1922) by G. K. Chesterton
I don’t tend to read collections of short stories, but I decided on giving The Man Who Knew Too Much (1922) a go, having enjoyed some of Chesterton’s other work and its date of publication also meant it qualified for Past Offences’ Monthly challenge. The setting of these stories is mostly within a political milieu and the problems which arise such as political scandals and cover ups, make these stories have a certain modern feel to them. The collection has 12 stories, 8 featuring Horne Fisher (more on him later) and 4 which have different individuals each time solving the cases. However, due to my edition being rather rubbish, I only have the first 8 stories and no page numbers. Word of advice: Never trust a book if its publisher feels it needs to put ‘first rate publishers’ in letters bigger than the actual title, on the front cover. But returning to Horne Fisher, he is a man with an aristocratic background and known for knowing a lot about pretty much everything. Overall I found Fisher to rather an anti-hero in the stories, frequently flouting the expectations readers have of detectives.
Story 1 ‘The Face in the Target’
The first story begins with Harold March, an eager and an up and coming newspaper politics critic going to interview the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Torwood Park. However in the grounds of the Park he bumps into a man trying to catch river creatures in a net and discusses Cubism with him (as you do). Our eccentric river dweller is Horne Fisher, who is also the cousin of the Chancellor. The narrative becomes more dramatic however, when a car crashes over the cliff edge nearby and the man inside is found dead. Horne immediately takes charge, leaving Harold to take on the role of Watson. This is not a fair play mystery as Horne withholds important information and despite creating a psychologically dramatic situation to reveal the killer, it does seem as though the reader just has to take Horne’s word for it they are the killer. It does appear as though Horne will always know much more than everyone else and it is up to individual taste whether this is too much for the reader:
‘I know too much. That’s what’s the matter with me. That’s what’s the matter with all of us, and the whole show; we know too much. Too much about one another; too much about ourselves…’
From the very first story we are shown that these tales will bend the rules as it seems Horne will not expose the killer believing that conviction will be unlikely and that the killer is much more useful to the country not in prison. In a way slightly reminiscent of the Father Brown stories, Horne takes the opportunity to analyse the personality of the killer, making them more than a cipher or stock character.
Story 2 ‘The Vanishing Prince’
The setting of the second story shifts to Ireland where Michael O’Neill, is wanted by the police due to his political agitation activities. But he remains elusive due to his ingenious ability at hiding. However, it seems he is in a remote tower and various police chiefs plan to create a net around him and trap him in the tower. Fisher is also present as the secretary of one of the big wigs involved in the scheme. Yet the best laid plans of course go horribly wrong, with several policeman injured or killed. Even worse, Michael is nowhere to be seen and it has the makings of an impossible crime. Again politics gets in the way of justice being executed and Fisher is rather blasé and cynical about his involvement in corruption.
Story 3 ‘The Soul of the Schoolboy’
This story shows Chesterton’s skill at creating characters and opens with polar opposite uncle and nephew, Reverend Thomas Twyford and Summers Minor respectively, spending time in London. The former is a clerical archaeologist and the latter is an amateur photographer, electrician of sorts and a fan of spotting bus types. They both go to look at a rare artefact, St Paul’s Penny, yet due to Summers fiddling with the wiring in the exhibit room, both he, his uncle, the guide and sinister cassocked looking man who claims to be a magician are locked in the room in darkness. On light being restored and the entrance opened, it appears Summers has disappeared and so has the coin. Conveniently, Fisher also just happens to be visiting and with dramatic flair the case is solved… What makes this a strong story in the collection in my opinion is the humorous relationship between Summers and his uncle.
Story 4 ‘The Bottomless Well’
On a British occupied island, somewhere in the east, there is a resort for colonial types, which has an ancient well and of course a nearby golf course, a juxtaposition I believe to be satirical. A hot topic of conversation with people at the resort, including Fisher and his friend Captain Boyle, is the latest British military victory and it seems it is all down to Lord Hastings, whose much younger wife is also staying at the resort and is found conversing with a lot of the younger male resort guests. Any reader of crime fiction will therefore not be surprised when Lord Hastings is found dead near the well poisoned and Captain Boyle is found close by, a gibbering wreck. Despite a clear cut case being made for the obvious suspect, Fisher confounds established opinions and solves the case, with part of the solution reminding of Christie’s Curtain (1975). A solution does not equal justice though, as the reputation of Britain is deemed more important. This story will probably not agree with modern readers with its concluding anti-Semitic remarks and one wonders whether this is Chesterton talking through his characters.
Story 5 ‘The Fad of the Fisherman’
This story commences with March rowing to Willwood Place, which is owned by Sir Isaac to meet Fisher and the Prime Minister. Fisher went down earlier to discuss the Denmark/ Sweden problem, concluding that Britain needs to protest in Denmark’s favour, which the PM plans to do in his speech at Birmingham. However on the way to Willwood, March sees a man in boat cling to a bridge archway and promptly disappear. But this is not the most extraordinary event which occurs. Sir Isaac has the odd habit of fishing from early in the morning, refusing to return until sunset. Dramatic news causes various characters to go visit him whilst he is fishing, yet suspicion is aroused when he does not return by sunset. He is found with fishing line wrapped around his neck, which means that those who went to see him during the day fall heavily under suspicion. Corruption again oozes in this story with even the killer only being implied.
Story 6 ‘The Hole in the Wall’
A medieval fancy dress and ice skating weekend party turns sour when the host Lord Bulmer disappears after deciding on an early morning skate on the pond. Suspicion quickly falls on a young architect at the party, but again Fisher beats all others to the solution. A solution which I half expected, as this is probably the easiest of the short stories to solve. However, I did find the metaphors Chesterton makes about society well-written, meaningful and interesting.
Story 7 ‘The Temple of Silence’ (which on Wikipedia is called ‘The Fool of the Family’)
This story is a retrospective one where we see how Fisher possibly lost his optimism about righting wrongs. It concerns Fisher’s dabble in politics and his brother Henry and their relationship did feel similar to Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes’. After a dinner party, Horne is persuaded into standing in the local election to prevent the corrupt and horrid Sir Verner winning. As Horne has quite practical democratic ideas, he quickly becomes popular with voters, but Horne keeps returning to the question of how Sir Verner got his money and where he came from. Further investigation reveals unpleasant truths and Horne is determined to expose them. But are the machinations of government and society stronger than the individual? Who can one really trust? Again the conclusion of this story provides Chesterton with an opportunity to converse on integrity, morals and materialism, but because it is interwoven into one of the characters it does not feel forced.
Story 8 – ‘The Vengeance of the Statue’
This story rather reminded me of Doyle’s story, ‘His Last Bow’. Imminent invasion seems likely (though by who I’m not entirely sure). March and Fisher’s relationship becomes strained as March is determined to expose the corruption and mishandlings of the government in a new independent newspaper. Some of the problems such as the mistreatment of foreign workers in the country and expenditure scandals certainly resonant with current times. However, contrasting with the previous story, Fisher is not interested in exposing wrongs and is more interested in helping the various morally doubtful government members tackle the invasion problem, who also just happen to be relations. Fisher invites March to a house party which is dealing with the aforementioned crisis and it seems there is a spy within their midst. Worse is to follow when Fisher’s uncle is found murdered, devoid of important plans. His death is a puzzling one involving a cumbersome stone statue and an excess of blood. Yet Fisher seems preoccupied and invites March on a secret mission, which has long reaching consequence… In a way this is a very fitting final story for a detective figure who is complicated, unconventional and who defies expectations, yet it is ruined by the vagueness of the plot making dramatic actions make no sense.
I think it is rather hard to give an overall rating of a short story collection, so instead I have decided to give ratings on individual components of the collection and select a favourite and least favourite story.
Writing style: 3/5 (Dialogic passages are strong and Chesterton does have a flair for imagery and analogies. However, he can have some rather prosaic passages which are a little dull, especially when describing the setting.)
Characters: 4/5 (Horne Fisher is an intriguing and amusing individual, if not necessarily likeable and it was interesting especially to see how his youthful optimism is transformed into cynicism and passivity. In a way he is sort of a morally ambiguous Holmes figure.)
Favourite Story: The Soul of a Schoolboy
Least Favourite Story: The Face in the Target
Previous ‘The Adventure of the Dauphin’s Doll’ (1948) by Ellery Queen
Next The Morning After Death (1966) by Nicholas Blake
Given his occasional forays into wonderfulness with the Father Brown stories (cf. ‘The Queer Feet’, ‘The Hammer of God’, ‘The Oracle of the Dog’, etc) I feel as if I should give Chesterton more of a go. But then given his forays into utter dreck with the Father Brown stories {nearly too numerous to be worth picking any out) it would be akin to those godawful calendar you get every Christmas from the elderly relative who still thinks you’re a Donny Osmond fan: “Rememeber that author you don’t really like? Here’s another book by him for you to read!”. However the one inviolable facet of Chesterton’s writing you touch on here – the interminably dull descriptions when setting the scene – is enough to dissude me whenever I try to get into his writing again. Thank-you, Gilbert, I’ve seen a river, you don’t need to describe it down to the last detail…
haha yeah there were a few paragraphs like that, but what I will say in defence of these short stories, is the detective figure – Horne Fisher – who is brilliant in that he just completely confounds reader expectations of detectives and just has such as a modern feel to him in the way he deals with politics and being involved in cover ups.
See, that’s one of the tings I really like about the Father Brown stories, and why I feel I’d like to like Chesterton more – Brown manages to have a remarkably ahead-of-his-time attitude towards crime and punishment that is quite fabulous to read: it’s not like the criminal must always have the book thrown at them, there’s a bigger consideration to deal with (much as I dislike ‘Te Invisible Man’ this element of the conclusion is wonderful). Some people choose to see this as a pro-Catholic bias and I have no doubt there’s some truth in that, but it’s nevertheless an element of his writing I enjoyed.

No single approach to teaching is effective with all children; each helps those with identified learning-style strengths to increase their knowledge base within the first three or four months of classroom use. Some learners will want to continue using a single method; others will prefer a variety of approaches. When the activities described herein are introduced to students whose learning styles they match, most will demonstrate strong abilities to learn and remember new and difficult content within the first four months of beginning_if not earlier. This book is written to prevent more children from becoming at risk and to help those who already have fallen behind their classmates and do not enjoy school. Each chapter describes different instructional strategies, a summary chart shows how to match at-risk learners with the specific approach most likely to substantially increase their academic achievement. These instructional approaches are designed to engage youngsters in action-oriented activities that gradually increase cognition and help children to internalize and retain what they are taught. Applications of these instructional strategies are suggested for increasing performance in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies.
Rita Dunn is professor and director of the Center for the Study of Learning and Teaching Styles, St. John's University. Andrea Honigsfeld is associate professor and associate dean in the Division of Education at Molloy College in New York.
Chapter 1 Who Are Students At Risk of Academic Failure and How Should We Teach Them? Chapter 2 What Is Learning Style? Chapter 3 Teaching Global Students Globally Chapter 4 Redesigning Classrooms for Increased Comfort and Concentration Chapter 5 Teaching Tactual Students Tactually Chapter 6 Teaching Kinesthetic Students Kinesthetically Chapter 7 Teaching Peer-Motivated Students with Small-Group Techniques Chapter 8 Teaching At-Risk Students with Contract Activity Packages Chapter 9 Teaching Visual/Tactual Students Who Need Structure with Programmed Learning Sequences Chapter 10 Teaching Unmotivated Students with Multi-Sensory Instructional Packages Chapter 11 Experimenting with Learning-Style Instructional Strategies in Practitioner-Oriented Steps Chapter 12 Research on the Dunn and Dunn Learning-Styles Model: How Do We Know It Works? Chapter 13 How Schools, Parents, and Courts Can Respond to Federal Law and Improve Classroom Teaching for At-Risk Students
Whereas some pedagogical approaches will be more effective with particular learners, stimulating and engaging teaching through individuals' learning styles is effective for all students. The effectiveness of both differentiation and learning styles is confirmed by research and is critical for teachers who work with at-risk students. This book provides a guide for educators world-wide to differentiate through a organized approach to learning.
Dunn worked to identify research-based methods of instruction in education long before it became the mandate to employ such interventions. This compilation of years of well-researched strategies advocated by Dunn and Honigsfeld is a valuable resource for educators at all levels.
As schools engage in the strategic work of closing the achievement gap for their at-risk populations, differentiation is the most important tool. Principals and teachers committed to supporting the needs of diverse learners should read this book. It is filled with practical resources and strategies for enhancing the delivery of instruction and increase results for nontraditional learners!
Differentiated Instruction for At-Risk Students is a superb text that guides educators to use the learning styles of different kinds of at-risk students to help them to be successful. The instructional approaches provided are realistic and responsive to at-risk students' learning styles. Guidelines for implementing each strategy with graphics and instruments. are also provided. Here is an easy to use, realistic guide that can make a different for our lowest achieving students.
Dunn and Honigsfeld have done an outstanding job synthesizing over 850 research studies and translating them into hands-on learning styles strategies for use with at-risk K-12 students. This is a book for teachers and administrators that combines innovative instructional approaches with administrative suggestions for preventing school failure and focusing on the goal of preventing learners from falling through the cracks. A must-have for all professional libraries!

About the Team | Chicago Sky Hoops
The Chicago Sky are a Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) team based in Chicago, Illinois. They began league play in 2006. From 2006-2009, the UIC Pavilion was their home court. Starting in 2010, the Sky will be playing all home games at All-State Arena in Rosemont, IL. (more from Wikipedia…)
The 2006 Season : The 2006 WNBA season marked the inaugural season for the Chicago Sky. The Sky finished its first season with a record of 5-29. Super-rookie Candice Dupree led the Sky in scoring with 13.7 points per game while center Benadette Ngoyisa led the team in rebounding with 5.6 per game. Jia Perkins led the team in assists, averaging 3.2 dimes per game. The Sky’s first regular-season victory occurred on May 20th, 2006 (opening night) against the Charlotte Sting in North Carolina. The Sky’s first home win occurred on June 29th, also against the Sting. The Sky also notched victories over New York, Minnesota and Indiana during this inaugural season. At the conclusion of the 2006 season, the first head coach and GM of the Sky, Dave Cowens, resigned.
The 2007 Season: Armed with a new head coach and GM (Bo Overton), a re-vamped coaching staff (Key, White and Reding), a veteran post (Chasity Melvin acquired by trading Monique Currie, the #1 pick in the Dispersal Draft, to the Washington Mystics), two significant free agent acquisitions (Canty and Christensen) and the #3 and #10 picks in the college draft (Armintie Price and Carla Thomas), the Sky were a much improved team in 2007. They completed the ’07 season with a 14-20 record, successfully notching 9 more wins than in their inaugural season. The Sky were in playoff contention throughout most of the summer but were eventually beat out late in the season by the NY Liberty for the 4th and final playoff spot in the Eastern conference. Candice Dupree repeated as the Sky’s lone All-Star. Dupree and Jia Perkins were both named ‘Player of the Week’ in July and Armintie Price was named ‘Rookie of the Year.’
The 2008 Season: With the departure of Bo Overton a few months prior to the start of the 2008 season, former Sky assistant coach Steven Key was named the new GM/head coach of the Chicago Sky in 2008. With the #2 pick in the college draft, the Chicago Sky drafted 6’6″ centerSylvia Fowles from LSU. The Sky also selected Quianna Chaney (also from LSU) with the 19th pick and Angela Tisdale (from Baylor) with the 33rd pick. The Sky lost Carla Thomas to the Atlanta Dream in the expansion draft. Stacey Dales retired from WNBA basketball to focus on her broadcasting career with ESPN. The Sky finished the 2008 season with a record of 12-22. Jia Perkins led the team in scoring (17 ppg) and Candice Dupree led the team in rebounding (7.9 rpg). Sylvia Fowles won a gold medal in Bejing as part of the USA Olympic team. She was also named to the All-Defensive 2nd team.

text: Strong start for Big Ten, but finish means more2706dStrong start for Big Ten, but finish means moreEmailcommentSep 13, 2008ESPN.com EmailprintcommentPosted by ESPN.com's Adam RittenbergWEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The real referendum on the Big Ten comes this afternoon and tonight, but the league avoided any setbacks in the early games. Michigan State's Javon Ringer can expect a helmet sticker in his future after rushing for 276 yards and two scores on 43 carries, but defense dominated in East Lansing and elsewhere in the early games.Michigan State, Iowa and Northwestern allowed a combined 10 points in victories. Spartans coach Mark Dantonio has to be thrilled with his defense, which underachieved earlier this year, and Iowa's looked solid protecting the red zone.Illinois should be a little worried after having to hang on against Louisiana-Lafayette. The defense struggled in the fourth quarter and Juice Williams couldn't find a passing rhythm in the rain. A 3-point win at home could knock the Illini out of the polls.Surprisingly, the sun is out here at Ross-Ade Stadium, but a strong wind is blowing to the northeast. Could be trouble for Curtis Painter and the Purdue offense. And there's still a chance for thunderstorms. Game-time temperature is 88 degrees (heat index of 92).I'm no fashion guru, but Oregon's road unis look chic: green pants, white jerseys and white helmets. It's certainly an upgrade from these eyesores. The Ducks coaches look a bit like crossing guards in their bright yellow shirts, but overall, not bad.The world's largest drum made its appearance with Purdue's marching band. Those guys with conquistador hats ran it around the field. A pretty funny sight.A couple of depth chart changes for Purdue:Senior Garrett Miller will start at left tackle with Zach Jones moving to the right side. Star tackle Sean Sester is expected to play.Sophomore Ryan Kerrigan will start at defensive end ahead of Gerald Gooden.

Given that should be done, to bomb the army ISIS those who want to go there that there is rigor in the public finances in Italy.
A bomb costs its weight in gold, and there are to tell the lie that after non-will supply the stocks of defense because another crisis closer to home will not wait, and then there will be other expenses.
It would be better if that money, like other mega money spent on useless works that enrich the few, be spent for the development of the economy and solve unemployment.
The proof that the bombs dropped weigh heavily on public finances given the spread in the growth and fall of the stock market in recent days.

Wall Street stocks were broadly lower, pulling back after Monday's rally, but the S&P and the Dow pared losses in afternoon trading and the Nasdaq posted gains as Apple Inc rose 1.7 percent. Other asset classes were also volatile. U.S. crude oil traded up as much as 0.7 percent but finished lower, its eighth decline in the past nine sessions, while Brent crude closed up for the first time in four days. The U.S. dollar index turned flat, after earlier weakness. The euro, which recently hit a 12-year low, rose against the dollar for a second straight session as soft U.S. data cooled the dollar's recent rally.
Many analysts expect the Fed to remove the word "patient" from its statement to describe its approach to raising rates later in the year. Doing so would put the Fed a step closer to its first rate hike since 2006. Economists polled by Reuters are almost evenly split on whether a rate increase will come in June or later in the year. Recent U.S. data, including Tuesday's on February housing starts, has fueled talk that the Fed will remain on hold.

adobe photoshop - How to connect with aspiring game designers for collaborative work - Graphic Design Stack Exchange
I'm a programming-student and I'm making my own android-game. I'm decent at photoshop, but when it comes to drawing, I'm awful. I was wondering if there are graphic designers out there that are looking to have their name on a game for when they look for work etc, just like us programmers, and where can I find them.

asked Aug 23 '12 at 12:34
There are several different skill sets involved (and a rare few people who do all of them): are you looking for character designers / concept artists who will draw up what your characters can look like as sketches or illustrations, animators to make the movements natural or fluid, or games graphics people who make this work in the context of the game itself (and who might be acceptably okay for a small project at character design and animation, but probably not great at it)? For the later, you might find them at gamedev.stackexchange.com – user568458 Aug 23 '12 at 12:43
Maybe you can get something started on HackerBuddy – George Profenza Aug 23 '12 at 18:03
I edited your question to improve the chances of significant answers, and also erased the last part of it because you can find other questions related to Gimp vs Photoshop here. – Yisela♦ Aug 23 '12 at 21:27

I'd start by checking DeviantArt for designers that might be interested in collaborative work. Depending on you business plan, you can focus on professional ones (who work on comission for example) or students that would consider working 'just for the name' (I'm not sure if you meant you are looking for people who will illustrate for you in exchange of appearing in the app instead of shared benefits or payment). And I would contact those ones whose work you like individually, explaining the project.

Bleeding Yankee Blue: PETE ROSE A REALITY STAR? NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING
PETE ROSE A REALITY STAR? NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING
So, there I was, as I am every weekday morning, getting ready for work with the television news blaring in the background as I put on my left shoe to head out the door. And then I hear Matt Lauer say (HERE), “And Pete Rose is in our studio today to talk about his new reality show…” What?!!! Has the world gone mad? Charlie Hustle enters the world of reality television?
Now, let me come clean. Next to my Burger King beige, sketched 1978 New York Yankees World Champions’ poster in my room when I was 8, there was the Bucky Dent pinup and my proudly A-in-math-earned Pete Rose poster. He was one of my favorites. The summer of his 44 consecutive game hitting streak was incredibly exciting. I watched anxiously as they cut into every televised Yankee game to see each at bat until Rose would ultimately get his hit. When his streak ended, I recall Phil Rizzuto saying, “Now Joe DiMaggio can sleep.” The Yankee Clipper’s streak is still intact at 56 games.
Fast-forward to 2013 and, the banned from baseball ball player is trying his luck at a new roulette table-reality television. The TLC show “Hits and Mrs.” features Rose and his fiancee.
According to an article in USA Today (HERE), “Rose said "nothing was off-limits" for TLC, which filmed the series in July and August and drew 654,000 viewers for Monday's debut.” The series depicts a different side of Rose, one that he wants his viewers and fans to see. According to Matt Lauer’s interview with the hitting legend, Rose says quite candidly that “I want to show a different side of me. Because I think that most people that meet me think I gonna knock ‘em down because they saw me knockin’ second basemen down and knockin’ catchers down, yelling at pitchers and diving everywhere heads first and I’m really not like that anymore.”
Hate to break it to you Pete, that’s the only Pete Rose I want to know. I want that guy who would take the next base, hustle down the line kicking up dirt just to be safe at first, cross home plate, and if need be, have a throw down with Bud Harrelson at second. That’s the Rose I want to see, not this pathetic attempt to show the “Hall” that he’s changed and deserves to be unbanned from baseball. Let me tell you, if they let Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds into the Hall of Fame, then they need to reconsider Rose. He was an amazing ball player and he always will be in my heart. Read BYB's piece called ENOUGH'S ENOUGH. TIME FOR PETE ROSE TO GO TO COOPERSTOWN for alittle extra perspective on that.
Where as other unbanned ex-ball players take posts as analysts and coaches, Rose has resorted to reality television. What has this world come to? What’s next, a Clemens comedy series? Do we really want to watch these ridiculous shows? I don’t know- call me a cynic but, I think reality shows are for the Kardasians...NOT FOR BASEBALL! We have enough drama to deal with in baseball- and that’s enough reality for me! --Suzie Pinstripe, BYB Opinion Columnist

Vladimir Putin announced a pension increase Monday: an additional 200 rubles a month - or even "a little bit more" - will be paid to Russia's elderly beginning March 2005 (twice as much as originally planned and a month earlier).
Roman Abramovich, the governor of the Russian Chukotka region and the second richest man in Great Britain, is expected to sign a new 5-year contract with José Mourinho, the manager of Chelsea Football Club: Mourinho will be making £5 million a year (via sports.ru, in Russian).
200 rubles is $7.13; according to the 2002 Russian Census, there are 29.8 million people of retirement age in Russia; thus, the state will be spending an additional 71.5 billion rubles a year - or $2.5 billion, or £1.4 billion.
£5 million a year is $9.3 million, or 260,5 million rubles; thus, Abramovich is planning to be spending 21.7 million rubles a month on Chelsea's manager.
The bottomline: assuming my calculations are correct, if Abramovich chose to spend his football coach money on Russian pensioners, he'd only be able to give them 0.72 rubles a month - or $0.02, or £0.01. Totally pathetic, in general and compared to what Putin is offering.
Russia is a huge and weird country.

Quilts sound wonderful, colorful, and homey…what a nice touch! Or, if you’re still unsure about quilts, why don’t you buy some fabric (or multiple but coordinating fabrics) and use that! Just cut to size (so it can hang down the sides by several inches) and then tie knots on all four corners to help hold it nice and tight. Hope that helps!

Reviews by Christy: TESTAROSSA
ISBN: 9780982144350
LA homicide detective John Testarossa harbors a dark secret, one connecting him to the death of his father, an undercover cop with the New York Police Department, and Testarossa’s brief career there. When an arm is found on Santa Monica Beach, Testarossa and his partner, Alex Ortiz, are called to the scene. It doesn’t take long to find the decomposing body of the arm’s owner, a young college athlete. Although the young man’s death is suspected to be suicide, Testarossa and Ortiz think otherwise and determinedly pursue their investigation, taking them into the dark world of collegiate and professional athletes and their illegal efforts to perform better than their colleagues.
Testarossa’s a jaded man who looks at life through a cop’s eyes yet cares deeply for those around him. He holds women at a distance simply because he doesn’t want to put them through the pain he watched his mother go through when his father was killed. All this changes when he meets Dr. Karen Gennaro, an open woman who expects nothing but the truth from him. But how can he tell her the dark secret from his past and expect her to stay?
Dolcemaschio takes her reader into the gritty world of police officers, their comrades, and the grim world they inhabit. Testarossa is a welcome character to the mystery community; a man fueled by events from his past with a deep need to connect with others and be the best cop he can. The relationship between Testarossa and his partners is nicely portrayed, as is the chemistry between Testarossa and Dr. Gennaro. The Italian dishes described guaranty a growling stomach. The romantic interludes are sizzling and sensual, a nice bonus for romance readers. Dolcemaschio’s well-written debut novel is an intriguing, powerful read, proof positive she’s in position to “run with the big dogs”.
