Hello Java Community
I have a question concerning the inner workings of the graphics class. I know it is not necessary to know anything about that in order to draw stuff. However, I would like to learn more about abstract classes.
What exactly happens when I pass Graphics g into the paintComponent method?
So thats what I figured out from the code:
- JPanel seems to use paintComponent() from JComponent which seems to override that method from its superclass Container (right?)
- the paintComponent() from JComponent creates a Graphics variable and calls create()
- I already lost track here.
What's going on now? ok create() ist called but nothing is really changed. Shouldn't the create method be defined somewhere? How does the compiler know what to do? =)
I would be glad if someone could explain to me what the compiler does step by step.
Thanks a lot

I have to be honest with you: I'm fading fast on the organization. I'm sorry I never got Mr.Linky up last week & especially sorry that I haven't been able to check out everyone's projects.
Last week was a crazy week for sure, but I'm having trouble seeing how it's going go get any less crazy now that I'm back at work with 2 little ones at home. SO, in the interest of sanity (my own of course ;) I'm taking a teensy chill pill about the Pure Organization. They won't be every week. (There I said it!) I just can't make it all happen right now. There may be 2 in a row and they may be every other week or I may have a good month and get them all in, but I just need to take some pressure off right now. I hope you can understand & since you're all usually extremely sweet, I'm pretty sure you will ;)
But, I do have one for you this week! Organize & purge the tupperware. This one came out of pure necessity. When all of our tupperware was clean & unused, it got to this:
Eeeeeek! No joke. We'd made a bunch of meals & frozen them for when the baby would be born, but when we ate the meals, we had way too much tupperware! (Add that to the inherited tupperware from family who'd dropped off meals.) Anyway, here was our drawer before: lots of the lids and bottoms had no mates...
And here it is now:
Ahhhhh so much better. I ditched all the mateless pieces (recycled them) and put the inherited stuff in a bag to return, and now it's feeling so much better. The key is this:
I kept one of the mateless containers and filled it with all of the lids for easy matching up. Makes it so much easier! Good luck on this one if you join in!!

"This year's competition had 5,520 entries for the judges to review. 'The competition was run extremely well," juror Robert Krivicich said. "The fact that we could review over 11,000 images in two days still astounds me.'
'Much of the editorial work felt the most substantive, meaningful and powerful,' juror Jerry Takigawa said.
'The range of conceptual ideas and out-of-the-box thinking was a relief to see,' said juror Leslie dela Vega. 'You'd be surprised how much mediocrity I see on a daily basis.'
Several judges commented on the quality of the video-based entries—31 projects—the strongest since we introduced the category several years ago. 'I really liked the still-image, motor-drive technique included in several of the video entries," Krivicich said. "It created a Muybridge-like video rendering that I thought was energetic and spontaneous.'
The biggest disappointment for juror Mimi Haddon was poor editing by photographers on their series submissions. 'Many of us were cringing when we were in love with one or more images in a series, but couldn't vote it in because of one bad image.' She said. 'It's a great lesson for me as a photographer to ask for help editing my own work.'"

Jennifer Bauer joined KPRC 2 News as a reporter on Dec. 20, 2010.
She moved to the Bayou City from Jacksonville, where she spent six years as a reporter at KPRC's sister station, WJXT-TV.
Her career has also taken her to Cadillac, Michigan, Flint, Michigan, and Detroit. Jennifer started out in Michigan because it was home. She was born in Dearborn, just outside Detroit.
This Michigan native also got her journalism degree from Michigan State University.
"I am a huge MSU fan. On weekends, you can often catch me cheering on the Spartans," she said.
Jennifer loves her job because "it's never boring."
"Every day is different. I truly love what I do and am passionate about reporting. I wanted to be a news reporter since I was 12 years old. I'm living my dream. My dad always told me, 'If you love what you do, it won't feel like work.' He's right," she said.
Jennifer is proud of being honored for one of her scariest moments in television.
"I won an Emmy award for a story I did in Jacksonville. My photographer and I were sent out to cover a water spout that had formed on the St. Johns River. A power line came down and trapped us inside the car. We shot the story from inside the car! It was scary!" she said.
KPRC 2 is the only channel at Jennifer's house because she is married to KPRC's creative services director.
"We watch a lot of KPRC 2 at our house and hope you do, too," she said.
When she's not working, Jennifer loves reading non-fiction books, such as biographies and autobiographies. Her favorite movie is "Love Actually."
Jennifer is excited to try all of Houston's great restaurants. After only a few weeks here, she found a favorite -- El Tiempo.
"I could eat their guacamole every day," she said.
She burns off that guacamole by running -- an activity she loves. Jennifer finished her first marathon in 2010.If you would like to drop Jennifer an e-mail, send it to email@example.com. Also, be sure to "like" her Facebook page and follow her on Twitter.

Namo namasthe tridaseshwaraya
Bhoothadhinathaya mridaya nithyam|
Ganga tharangothida bala Chandra
Choodaya Gauri nayanothsavaya ||
Salutations and salutations to him,
Who is the Lord of the thirty gods,
Who is the Lord of all beings,
Who is perpetually gracious,
From whose head the waves of Ganga are born,
Who wears the crescent of moon
And who is the feast to the eyes of Gauri,
Sutaptha chamikara Chandra neela
Padma pravalambudha kanti vasthrai|
Sa nrutya rangetha vara pradhaya
Kaivalya nadhaya vrusha dwajaya ||
Salutations and salutations to Him,
Who is like the moon resembling the molten gold,
Who wears dress of the colour of blue lotus and rich cloud,
Who gives boons while he is dancing,
Who is the Lord of salvation,
And who has a bull in his flag.
His imagery of Lord Shiva as Kailasanatha who sports the moon on His head, from whom the Ganges flows and who is dressed in the color of a blue lotus and rich cloud brings alive the beauty of Mount Kailasa.
Mount Kailasa, the abode of Lord Shiva, is paradise on earth where the mridangam of Nandikeshwara can be heard around the rocky boulders. Its a cold snow capped world in ice that sings in praise of Kailashanatha, where Ravana meditated and chose to take this very Kailasa back to his country. This is that rocky and icy cold terrain that Karraikkal Ammaiyar chose to climb, with her hands, such devotion is unmatched!
With the strong chilling winds eating into the skin, and the harsh terrain testing our endurance while we attempt the parikrama of this great Peak with limited energy reserves, all theories of the Linga representing a phallic symbol depicting the great God quickly fade away into the books.
In this bleak climate, trekking through boulders and glaciers there is little room for stories. The first sight of Kailasa, built up on anticipation can bring emotions so strong that all else just fails to ring a bell. This IS paradise, land where the earthly winds bring in the song of the Gandharvas, land where stones reverberate echoing the sound of the mridangam, land where the clear night sky and the cloudy cloak on the Great Kailasa just stops the heart from beating. This is paradise, this is beauty, this is sublime.
The pure waters of the Manasarovar reveal just how untouched this land is, how clear and pure this land is, far away from human existence. Sweet water, shimmering drops of sunlight and rhythmic sounds embedded in every ripple give a glimpse of what the heavenly world is up ahead. Reflecting in these crystal clear waters far in the horizon stand the great Kailasa.
The holy dip in the sacred waters of the Manasarovar purify the mind and the thoughts, for now the peak of Kailasa doesnt feel any more like a mountain at all. No, this appears now like the very forehead of the Lord, the horizontal rocky contours form the patterns of lines on the forehead, and the snow capped sides appears like the three lines of white ash that cover the Linga's Shiva bhaga. The deep crevasse running vertically down its center looks far more than just a geographical coincidence. As the pure waters of the Manasarover trickle down my face that vertical split down the center of the mountain appears more like the half opened third eye of Lord Shiva himself.
In this earthly world that is, as the sun rises and falls, as the winds sing in my ears, I now stand small in front this great phenomenon. The three eyed Lord sits on an icy throne, in deep meditation as the snow laden earth hides this power of his third eye that lies dormant, unnoticed by all.
There are no words to express the workings of the supernatural world, there are no theories to prove, there is only time to realize how wasteful we have been with this consciousness called life, the only sign of which is in the air I breath as my heart pounds awaiting this phenomenon to descend on me.
Stark among low mountains, this imposing wall of heaven rises high in front of me. Robed in silken clouds the Lord silently meditates. The earth is pure, this air is pure and these waters are pure and as I freeze, my emotions well up in the form of tears and I wonder, is this the great Peak of Kailasa that resides deep in every temple sanctum scattered around the Indian country side?
As we scale across the terrain taking this path for three days, crossing every ridge on the way numbering 5, I am left to belief, this is Shiva himself, this is the beeja mantra, this is Panchakshara, this is Na Ma Shi Va Ya, oh this is the Lord of dance, of victory, of conquest over sin, of endurance, of peace, of music, of life, of breath, of emotions, I feel Him in every beat, i feel Him in every pulsating nerve, I feel Him in the chill, I feel Him wake my emotions, I feel Him in the silence of my mind.
My heart beats faster, I am so small in front of this majestic imposing peak and i have no thoughts left in my head, I have no feelings left for the world, I have no worry that awaits me in time, I am nothing but a speck of nature, created to witness this greater consciousness that flows down in the form of a pure stream of melting icy water.
Oh Lord Shiva, this mind is numb, its swoons to your presence, it wants to break the shackles of its limits, it feels the presence of you as I collapse over these stones on which I stand. My consciousness fades, as I stare up to your being, the great peak that pierces the night sky, so clear with stars as the moon glows, almost resting on your side. This is what I lived for, this is what I missed all these years, this is all i am capable of, as my vision is covered with heavy tears of overwhelming love. I dont want to go back, I dont want to leave, I dont want to move any more... I wish to lie here and witness your beauty in every breath.
O Lord hold me close, take me with you, grant me a vision of your sublime self, just once for me in this earthly dwelling of mine. Guide me into your world. Take me into your paradise, as I leave this earthly body behind. Help me up the steps to this celestial world of the Gods, my soul knows nothing else, my breath slowly starts to fade. The winds sing louder as the known world fast drifts away. I am nothing, I am not... I am another drifting soul that has merged into the heavenly world of the Lord.
Om Na Ma Shi Va Ya|

I recently ran across a "gel fuel fireplace" and had to look it up and see what this new (at least to me) fuel was about. After browsing around the web, I found that gel fuel is an alcohol-based product that isn't supposed to give off smoke or odors (that's what the various suppliers say, anyway). This means you don't need a chimney/vent to install a gel fuel fireplace. It sounds like gel fuel, unlike gas, doesn't give off much heat and is more about creating flickering flames and ambiance. You basically plug in a canister and it runs for a few hours.
Some of the main manufacturers of gel fuel are:

As he bared his flawed soul to Oprah, Lance Armstrong did one more service for people with cancer. He proved that jerks get the disease, too. He even blamed cancer for turning him into a bully. This may be the only side effect of cancer treatment I haven't experienced.
I've had cancer twice. Although I've been on the receiving end of enormous kindness, I've always felt uncomfortable when people tried to declare me a saint simply because I was sick. You're so brave. You're my hero.
I am neither brave nor particularly virtuous. My husband has to deal with mice in the kitchen, because they petrify me. I gossip. I forget to recycle, or simply don't bother. The Courant won't allow me space to recount all my faults. But I have one redeeming quality: I'm a stickler for truth.
That's why I refuse to be turned into an "ABC Afterschool Special." Heroes run into burning buildings to save people. In my case, the building I live in keeps catching fire. Nothing heroic about that. Just plain old bad luck. Bad luck doesn't make for much of a story, though, which brings me back to Lance Armstrong.
He became the embodiment of what I call cancer mythology. There's this idea that living with the disease is a noble struggle. We patients become the stuff of legends, kind of like Manti Te'o's girlfriend.
When he was diagnosed, Lance Armstrong went from being a guy who can pedal a bicycle really fast to an inspiring figure. Cancer became part of his brand, bolstering his celebrity and his marketing power. In some ways — and I can get away with this because I'm a "hero" too — cancer was very good to Lance Armstrong.
And he was very good to cancer. The Livestrong Foundation drew its strength from cancer mythology as surely as Armstrong drew his from doping. Most charities that raise funds for cancer treatment and research do. I'm grateful for their work, though their marketing brings on that queasy feeling that's such a big part of my life.
Cancer research has helped me. The chemo drugs and surgery I received my second time around didn't even exist when I was treated for my first cancer. Breast cancer is such a cause celebre that the government mandates insurers pay for reconstruction, which made a double mastectomy less horrible to contemplate. That level of coverage simply doesn't exist in other diseases, though it should.
Even as I benefit from them, I cannot stand the choreographed pink ribbon events. Can you imagine any other disease wrapped in so much awe and positivity? Woo-hoo, dengue fever! Cancer is singular among all diseases. It's a trial, a quest, a perilous journey that only the brave and pure are called upon to make.
In fairness to Armstrong, he didn't appoint himself the knight errant of cancer. That took care of itself. The only thing ESPN finds more irresistible than a child fan with cancer is an athlete with cancer. Armstrong was going to be a hero whether he wanted to be or not. Now he's reviled because his bad behavior makes us question our own mythology.
If there is any way that cancer ennobles, it's that it makes you work so hard to get your life back. My surgery was a year ago. Yesterday in the shower, I noticed something poking out of my chest. I pulled out a stitch that had worked its way to the surface after all this time. I'm calling it a sign. I can hold myself together without any help now.
It's hard. Chemo takes forever to leave your system. I'm still shaving my legs only once a month, cancer's one upside. The chemo brain that made me forget times and dates during treatment hasn't totally left me. My first editor dubbed me Colleen the Copy Machine. Now the machine is stuck in second gear. I take a longer time to write. For a freelancer, speed is money.
If I could pop some magical pill and get my groove back, I would — but I would not lie about it. At least, I hope not. Who knows? Like Lance Armstrong, I'm only human.
Colleen Shaddox lives in Hamden.

text: Clark Spencer Larsen (Ohio State Univ) explores what anthropologists have learned about the alterations of the lives, lifestyles, and wellbeing from the study of bones and teeth of our recent ancestors during the one of the most dynamic periods of human evolution. Just as the process of domestication was complex and involved regional economic, social, and environmental circumstances, the impact of the foraging-to-farming transition on human biology and evolution was varied. In general, however, the outcome of this fundamental behavioral shift in how humans acquire food was decline in health owing to population crowding, reduced nutritional quality, and related factors. Collectively, this outcome was central to creating the circumstances that transformed the human biological landscape into what it is today. (#24840)

UH oceanography professor honored by National Academy of SciencesUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Director of Communications, External Affairs and University Relations
University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Oceanography Professor David Karl received the prestigious Alexander Agassiz medal from the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, April 28.
Karl is a professor at the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. He is recognized for his leadership in establishing multi-disciplinary ocean-observing systems for detecting significant changes in the ocean ecosystem.
"I am humbled and honored to have been selected to receive the 2013 Alexander Agassiz Medal for excellence in oceanography. I thank the UH ʻohana, my students, post-docs and staff, and my many colleagues at UH and from around the world for their invaluable contributions to my career. With so many remaining scientific challenges, it should be a thrilling next decade," Karl said.
Karl is perhaps best known for his work on the Hawaiʻi Ocean Time-series (HOT) program, which he co-founded. HOT made the significant discovery that climate change and the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide are making the ocean more acidic and affecting the ocean ecosystem. The finding was published and won widespread recognition.
In addition, Karl's work on 23 research expeditions to Antarctica helped to reveal the unanticipated thriving food web that exists in those frigid waters. He has also witnessed iconic moments like the discovery of hydrothermal vents at the Galapagos Rift in 1979.
Karl currently directs the Daniel K. Inouye Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) at UH Mānoa, a National Science Foundation sponsored program that he created.
The Agassiz Medal is presented every three years for original contributions in the science of oceanography and was established by a gift from Sir John Murray in 1913. Alexander Agassiz was a marine zoologist, oceanographer, and mining engineer who made important contribututions to systematic zoology and to the knowledge of ocean beds.
Karl was among several distinguished award recipients at the NAS award ceremony, where Bill and Melinda Gates received the National Academy of Sciences Public Welfare Medal.

Summer returned to this corner of Kent on Friday morning. Apparently autumn is making an early appearance this weekend. Darren Clarke cannot wait.
Clarke added a second successive 68 and held the clubhouse lead alongside America's Lucas Glover at 4-under par.
It was beautifully sunny and the breeze only just started to get up as the morning went on. Time to take advantage of a tasty Sandwich? No such luck. It took some old-fashioned links know-how, in the case of Clarke, and a relaxed attitude, in the case of Glover who followed his opening 66 with a level-par 70, prosper.
Young Tom (Lewis), the amateur who shared the lead with Thomas Bjorn overnight, battled hard for a 74 but had the thrill of being right there when Old Tom (Watson) holed in one at the sixth. It was another golden moment for the five-time champion.
Glover, the 2009 U.S. Open champion who won at Quail Hollow earlier this season, has been hanging out with U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love. "Eating as much as we can," Glover said. Love got to the clubhouse at 2 under. They will have had much to discuss over their next dinner.
Not least what the Brits are always talking about, the weather. To Clarke, a spot of wind and rain will not be daunting. He grew up playing at Portrush and after many years of living near London he moved back to Northern Ireland last year. A winter of playing back home may just set him up nicely for the weekend.
"I've been doing a lot of practicing in bad weather because that's usually what we get at Portrush," Clarke said. "That's a little bit harsh. It's not always that bad but it's certainly been some tough conditions, not quite as easy as it was when I was living in London.
"It's a case of getting used to playing in bad weather on links again and that's what I've been doing over the winter. Hopefully, it will stand me in good stead."
Clarke, at the age of 42, has been rejuvenated this week after a conversation with the sports psychologist Bob Rotella on Wednesday. He was not giving away too much. "It's the same old, same old," he said.
But Clarke, who pulled out of a tournament to stay at home and help Rory McIlroy celebrate his U.S. Open victory, did admit he had received some, say we say, encouragement that if McIlroy and Graeme McDowell could win majors, what about the old stager?
"There was a lot of people telling me it's my turn now," he said. "There was a feeling they were telling me to pull my finger out."
Clarke has known McIlroy since the Holywood kid was 12 and he went through Clarke's academy. Clarke has also helped McDowell with advice over the years. "Obviously, my advice was very, very good," he joked.
But is he jealous? Not a bit.
"Absolutely, not," he said. "Why would I be jealous? I am more proud. I've been personally delighted for the pair of them. To have back-to-back U.S. Open champions from a little country like Northern Ireland, that's a massive achievement. We've got two wonderful ambassadors for Northern Ireland in G-Mac and Rory."
McDowell, struggling, he admitted, to live up to the expectations of being a major winner, looked like missing the cut after finishing at five over following a 77.
"I'm a bit of a mental case out there," he said. "My attitude has been poor the last two days, more frustration and disappointment than patience."
McDowell added: "It is great to see Darren playing well. He is a fantastic ball-striker and a great links player. It is pretty amazing how certain players winning can spur others on. I'll be watching with interest over the weekend. I wish him all the best. I wish I was there tussling myself."

Helpful Grade Information
Deferred Grade of R
The grade R (Deferred Grade) used on the final grade report indicates that the nature of the course is such that the work of the student can be evaluated only after two or more terms. The grade R is appropriate in thesis and research courses in which the student's work is evaluated when the thesis or research is completed. It may also be used at the end of the first term of a two-term course or a course that overlaps two terms if the course is approved as a Deferred Grade course. The grade R is appropriate only so long as there is work in progress. This procedure will assure the approval of the department and the willingness of the students to take both terms of the course before getting a grade.
The instructor will submit the appropriate grade when the work is completed. If a student drops out of a course before the work is complete, the student must withdraw from both courses.
Unlike the grade of incomplete, the grade of R is not subject to an automatic change to F after one year if the work is not yet completed.
The grade of "I" (Incomplete) indicates that the student has satisfactorily completed the major portion of a course but is prevented by extraordinary circumstances from completing the balance of the course. The grade of "I" will only be given if the instructor has sufficient reason to believe that the failure to complete the requirements of the course was beyond the student's control and that it would be unjust to hold the student to the time limits normally fixed for completion of the required assignments. The grade of "I" should not be awarded simply to exempt a student from paying tuition for a repeated course.
If the instructor does not otherwise act to remove the "I" within 12 months, the Registrar will automatically change the "I" to a "F". Both the student and the instructor in whose course the student received the "I" will be notified of this change of grade.
Students Removing Incompletes
DO NOT REGISTER OR PAY FEES FOR THE COURSE A SECOND TIME. The instructor who assigned the "incomplete" grade has filed a form in the Registrar's Office that identifies what the student needs to do to remove the "incomplete" grade. The student must contact the instructor if they are repeating a course to remove an "I" grade; the student's name will NOT be on a class roster. When the Incomplete work is finished, the instructor must change the "I" grade to a final grade.
Pass / Fail Option
Any undergraduate student in good academic standing (not on probation) may enroll during the junior and senior years (after 55 or more credit hours) in a maximum of four elective courses to be taken with a grade of P (pass) or F (fail). The Pass/Fail option is open to a maximum of two courses per year, including summer sessions. For this option, the year is defined as August 15 of one year to August 14 of the succeeding year. The course selected for the Pass/Fail option must be an elective, and it must not be a prerequisite course. It may not be used to satisfy any of the general area requirements, nor may it be counted as a part of the student's concentration area. The course or courses may be used to meet the 300- to 400-level course requirement.
As designated in the Academic Handbook, the grades of A, B, C, and D shall be considered as passing (P) under this option. Instructors will not be notified of those registering for this option, but any Pass/Fail option choices will be transmitted to the Office of the Registrar, and the conversion of the instructor's grade into P or F will be made by the registrar.
In order to initiate the Pass/Fail option, students must consult their dean, who is responsible for determining the elective nature of the course and signing the required form. Students must file the completed form at the Office of the Registrar. The Pass/Fail option must be selected within three weeks after enrollment during the regular academic semesters. In no case will the grades A, B, C, or D be substituted at a later time for those courses in which the student elected the Pass/Fail option. In computing grade point averages, the P grade will not be used; an F grade will be used.
Satisfactory / Fail Graded Courses
Certain courses are taught on an "S" (Satisfactory) or "F" (Fail) basis. Everyone in the course receives either "S or F" grades and individual students do not have the option of receiving an "A+ through D-" grade. Courses graded on an S/F basis usually carry a footnote to that effect in the Schedule of Classes.
- A grade of "S" does not affect the grade point average. A grade of "F" will count like any other failing grade.
- Credit hours with the "S" grade will count toward graduation.
- See our Pass/Fail section above to find out more about how a student may request this related grading option which is available to an individual student in a traditionally graded course.
Special Credit / Credit by Examination
Academic departments at IUS on a case-by-case basis, may grant students course credit based on demonstration of proficiency in a particular discipline. A personal skill, talent, job experience or other experiential based proficiency may be considered in the evaluation process.
Each department establishes the appropriate academic standards and methods of evaluation. In general, students may be required to sit for an exam, complete an assignment, audition or provide a portfolio to establish their level of skill. Some departments also may require that a student take additional, typically more advanced, courses in the discipline before awarding the introductory or lower level credit.
In other cases, instead of processing as special credit, the department may simply waive the requirement that the student take that specific course. However, overall degree requirements (total hours) remain and students complete another course in order to satisfy the overall requirements. For more information, contact your school advisor.
Departments generally grade the work "S" for Satisfactory or choose not to award special credit. In exceptional circumstances, an "A" may be awarded if it is deemed outstanding.
If special credit is to be awarded, a Special Credit form is completed by the department awarding the credit. The department will forward the form to the Bursar's Office. The credit is posted to the student's academic record by the Registrar's Office only after the recording fee is paid, the Special Credit form is forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for recording. Check One.iu.edu to verify the posting of the grade.
Special Credit appears on the transcript for the semester it was awarded. The heading "Indiana University Special Credit" accompanies the course information and grade.
Unprocessed Special Credit forms expire one month from the date of issue.
Assessment of Fees
Tuition charges for credit earned by examination (special credit) are waived for undergraduate students after their matriculation (first semester registration) at Indiana University Southeast; however, a modest credit hour recording fee is assessed. There will be no recording fees assessed when a student is exempted from a course or requirement when there is no credit awarded.

Professor awarded Guggenheim Fellowship
April 10, 2014
Mary Szybist, associate professor of English, is the recipient of a 2014 Guggenheim Fellowship in the category of creative arts. Szybist's fellowship will be devoted to work on her next volume of poetry, a follow-up to her award-winning collection Incarnadine.
In November, Szybist received the 2013 National Book Award for Poetry, exactly 50 years after William Stafford, who also taught at the college, won the same honor for Traveling Through the Dark. Szybist also received the 2014 Oregon Book Award for Poetry.
"I am sure I speak for everyone at Lewis & Clark when I say we are tremendously proud of Mary, and proud to count her as a member of our community," President Barry Glassner said. "We have known for many years that Mary is a brilliant poet and teacher. It's exciting and gratifying to see her receiving this well-deserved national recognition."
In 2014, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation awarded 177 fellowships to a diverse group of scholars, artists, and scientists. Appointed on the basis of prior achievement and exceptional promise, the successful candidates were chosen from a group of almost 3,000 applicants.
- Read five poems from Incarnadine
- Watch Szybist read from Incarnadine

I'm looking for the longest lasting battery that I can purchase for my Sony Handycams.
I found a NPFH-100 Rechargeable Camcorder Battery for Sony NP-FH100 H Series
InfoLithium Battery 4500mAh but no one can tell me approximately how long this
battery will last. I realize battery life depends on how you use the camera. Just looking
for a ball park figure.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Sony quotes 10 hours of recording time. Mind you, this is straight time, not turning on, off as most of us do. My experience with Sony batteries is you will get 90% of the quoted record time, and about 60% if you use night shot.

Thanks for the info, it's very helpful
Posted 28 September 2011 - 12:36 PM
It also depends on what type of recording media your camcorder is using. It takes more battery power to burn to a mini DVD, or drive the motor of a mini DV tape or disc drive than it does if you are recording to a Memory Stick.
I get about 5 hours of constant recording using a NP-FH100 recording to a Memory Stick in my Sony DCR-DVD610.

Ortiz needs boost to return to Minnesota as All-Star
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is used to setting the pace in the All-Star balloting. This time, he will need a push from his fans to earn a starting spot.
In the latest round of balloting, Ortiz remained in second place, trailing Nelson Cruz of the Orioles at designated hitter.
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is used to setting the pace in the All-Star balloting. This time, he will need a push from his fans to earn a starting spot.
In the latest round of balloting, Ortiz remained in second place, trailing Nelson Cruz of the Orioles at designated hitter.
Cruz has 1,404,275 votes, compared to 1,036,055 for Big Papi.
Ortiz returning to Minneapolis for the All-Star Game would certainly be a big storyline. The Twins released him following the 2002 season, and the Red Sox signed him as a free agent, at which point he developed into one of the elite sluggers in the game.
Ortiz would love to play an All-Star Game at Target Field, where he is a .509 hitter (29-for-57) with nine homers, 22 RBIs and a 1.615 OPS.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 11:59 p.m. ET. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
Fans may submit up to 25 online ballots, but they can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot. If you do not have an MLB.com account, register on the site in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
Fans this year once again can participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league who they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2014 Home Run Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 14.
The 2014 American League and National League All-Star teams will be unveiled on the 2014 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show during the weekend of July 5-6, with further details to follow on MLB.com. Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL All-Star rosters, fans can begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over the balloting period.
And the voting doesn't end there. The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote Sponsored by Pepsi, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the overall vote that determines the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
MLB.com will provide extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The 85th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
Ortiz is vying to become an All-Star for the 10th time -- all with the Red Sox. Even at the age of 38, he remains one of the most feared hitters in the game.
Dustin Pedroia is another Red Sox cornerstone who will need a push from his fans to solidify a starting spot at second base. The Mariners' Robinson Cano (1,111,880 votes) and Ian Kinsler of the Tigers (887,544) currently lead Pedroia (778,700).
For many years, Pedroia and Ortiz have been the two leaders of Boston's offense.
"Whether it's going bad or going good, they're the leaders of our everyday lineup," said John Farrell, who will manage the American League All-Stars. "It's not going to be resting upon their shoulders solely, but they're the main cogs in it."
A.J. Pierzynski, in his first year with the Red Sox, ranks fourth at catcher. Pierzynski has 491,709 votes.

Introduction .:int01:.
Howdy, and welcome to my second FAQ for the game LEGO Star Wars. I have been
trying to get lots of FAQs written and accepted. Thanks for reading! If
you have any questions, please post them on the message board under "Chapel
Help" I will start the topic and try to keep it close to the front of the topic
list, but you never know. I know that this is probably considered a weird way
to answer questions, but I don't want my email address on the internet. Sorry!
At least I am offering to help at all... I have a Q&A section of questions that
some of you may have already, but if not, post a message! Thanks for
understanding...if you do.....By the way, Chapel is my name, don't think I just
came up with a random word.
Controls .:con02:.
If any of you have a text picture like the one at the top of this guide of a
GameCube controller and would like to let me use it, I'd appreciate it, giving
you credit. Post it on the message boards for this game.

Foreword .:for03:.
Before we begin the game, let's talk about it. In the game, you go through the
Episodes I-III. You play as key characters from the movie. There is a store,
from which you but characters, bonuses, cheats etc. And, did I mention it's all
made of LEGO's? There are also hidden objects called "minikits" hidden through
each level. If you find all ten in each level you get 50,000 studs, yes, 50,000
studs (which are money) and you get to see the ship you made outside the
cantina. There are also Superkits, which you get by obtaining enough studs in
each level. The amount varies. Now that that's out of the way, let's get on
with the game!!!
Playing the Game .:pla04:.
This section will go over key things you need to do to progress in each level.
Throughout the game, you will come across several action icons that need to
use used to progress in the level. Those are...
Force Icons
These mean you can use the force on something. It will appear as faint circle
around an object the color of your lightsaber. Press X button to use.
**NOTE: Only available to Jedi
Grapple Points
These will be red circles on the ground. Stand in one with a blaster character
and press X button. You will grapple up to the next level.
Droid Panels
These will need to be used by droids in order to access certain areas. A
picture of the type of droid's head will apear on the panel. (like R2 or C3PO).
Press X to use it.
Dark Force Icons
These are the same as Force Icons, except the items are always black and can
only be Forced by a Sith (ex. Darth Maul, Darth Sideous). You won't need to
worry about these in story because you will only play as good guys. Man...
This is how to kill enemies...duh.
This is the weapon of the Jedi. You will use this most often. Press abd hold B
to deflect lasers. There are also a few jump moves, like A + B, and A + A + B,
and...actually, that's it. Try them out.
Press B to shoot...that's pretty much it.
Wait...they don't fight. Never mind!! =)
This is the money of the game. You find them laying around, but you also find
them by blowing stuff up and using the force. If you collect a certain amount,
you get a superkit peice. There is one for each level. If you get all, you get
the "?" door unlocked. YAY!
Walkthrough .:wal05:.
Alrighty then. On with the game!!!
Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Mission 1: Negotiations
Use the Force on all objects you can first off. Then blow up those
containers. Use the force on the door and walk out. Kill the droids
and use the force on the objects. (From here on out, just use the
force on everything. I'll tell you if it's an important object to
force, but the little things just do it. ^_^) Head down the hallway
killing the droids. Continue through the hallways until you get to
an area with a droid. Press Y near him and use him to open the next
two doors. Switch to a Jedi and go to the next room. Force the thing
guarding the door. Kill the droids and walk through. Jump down and
go to the right. You'll have a cutscne of droidekas coming to get
you. Kill them and the other droids. Walk to the forcefield. Force
the thing on the wall next to it and jump on them and over. Kill the
droids and use your droid on the panel. Walk in the ship.
Mission 2: Invasion of Naboo
Run through the path until you get to a tree. Use the Force on it
and continue. When you reach a big droid invasion thing, either jump
over it or use the force on the little thing on the side until it
explodes. Continue to get a cutscene where Qui-Gon saves Jar Jar
a droid invasion thing. Go up after the cutscene and up the stair -
case. Use the force on the wall and jump on and off the platform it
makes. Use Jar Jar to jump up on the wall to knock it down. Force
the panel it reveals to lower a platform, which you should use to
jump to the next platform. Jar Jar the next couple of platforms. Use
the force on the little wall surrounding that platform. Use the
platform it makes, jump up and continue through the door. Follow
this path to the other side. Use Jar Jar to jump up and knock down
the platform. Go through the door it exposes. Follow this path to
the lake. Walk in to beat the level.
Mission 3: Escape from Naboo
Start off by annihalating most of the droids in the area. After that
run over to the red circle on the ground. This is a grapple point.
To use this, grab a blaster and press X. You will grapple up to the
next level. Okay, go along this platform and grapple up again. Keep
along grappling until you get to an area with lots of droids. Kill
them and go through the archway. Go down the stairwell and across
the bridge outside. Shoot the target and go through the door. Follow
the path until you get to an area where you can hear lightsabers.
shoot the cage and drop down. Kill the droids and go to the right.
Blow up the explosives on top of the platforms. They'll start to
move. Jump on them and shoot the targets. That will open the gate,
which you need to go through. Cross the bridge. Kill the droids and
jump on top of the domes. Step on the switches. One of them opens a
hole to the exit.
Mission 4: Mos Espa Podrace
Not much to say here. Hit the turbo things and try to beat the
area before the time runs out.
Mission 5: Retake Theed Palace
Run straigh out. Kill the droids. Use the force on the pile of
rubble to make a bridge. Run up and use R2 on the panel. Walk in the
door. Switch to a jedi and use the force on the hook, panel, and
the bridge item. Jump across and head into the next area. Kill the
droid hoarde that comes and step on a switch. This will cause your
teammates to do the same, opening another door to go through. Head
straight and use R2 to open it. Go outside. Follow the path until
you reach a courtyard. Run straight and to the right and you'll come
to a small alcove with bricks laying on the floor. Force them and
jump up. Use the force to make a bridge and walk across. Blow up the
flower box and then the cage and use Anakin to go through it (X).
Do the same on the other side, step on the switch and come back. Go
through the newly opened door. Jump on one of the boxes at the end
and use the force with your partner and you will rise up. Jump off
quickly and Force the other platform. Jump over and stand on a
switch. If you're a blaster, blow up one of the flower boxes and
grapple. If you're R2, use the force on an object under the baclony
to make an elevator. Ride up and fly across. If you're Anakin, use
the vent and get across. Now that the window's open, go through.
Head to the staircase and go up. Kill the droidekas and blow up the
statue at the front wall. Step on the switch, go down, and through
the door on the right. Now you have to save 6 pilots. For the first:
Go to the right. Keep going until you see two pilots in front of a
starfighter. Kill the droids to save them. 4 left. Go a liitle more
to the right and jump on a force box. Lift up and jump to the guards
and 2 left. Go all the way to the left and make a ladder out of the
boxes (small, big, small) Use this to jump up on the platform. Use
the force on the object on the wall. Jump on it and go up and to the
left. Kill the droid and save the pilot, 1 left. Drop and go
straight down. Make another ladder, jump up, and save the pilot. Go
back to the right. Use the new panel and go through the door.
Mission 6: Darth Maul
Kill the droids. Then he starts throwing stuff at you. Use the force
to throw it back. After three times he'll go away, and follow him.
Follow him through this area and force the necessary platforms. In
the next area, kill the droid commanders and then the droidekas,
step on the switch, and follow him to the next area. Use the force\
on the next switches to get through the forcefields. After that, you
get a
He has ten hearts, so you gotta hit him ten times. Not hard. I preferr to jump
twice then press B and block the rest. If he chokes you, switch characters and
come at him while he's unguarded. He will also throw things at you. Use the
same strategy as you used in the very beginning of this level, except this time
there are no droids. YAY!
Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Mission 1: Discovery on Kamino
Walk up and help the Kaminoan by repairing the power generator with
the force. This will extend a bridge. Cross and follow the Kaminoan
to a room where there are little switches on the ground. Walk on all
of these quickly and you'll have to force an object to trigger a
cutscene. Continue following the Kaminoan and you'll get to a room
with Jango Fett. He'll run by you and some droids will come in. Kill
them and go back out into the hall. Kill the turrets and follow
Jango Fett into the room and through the pipe. He has laid mines
on the bridge. Walk up carefully and when they start to beep do a
back flip. Do this until you reach the end of the minefield. Keep
going along the bridge. At the end, which is up, step on the switch
and part of a bridge will come out. Switch to R5 and fly across. Do
the same to this switch and Obi-Wan will come across. Switch back
to him and Force the stuff on the wall to reveal an astrodroid panel
(R2 and R5 are astrodroids). Use it and go through the door. This
next part can be annoying. Switch to R5 (trust me) and go over to
the astrodroid panels on the wall. Use them and the things the
droids are coming out of will close. Then kill the remaining droids
and Force the rubble. It will move revealing an astrodroid panel.
Use it and go outside. You will find a...
Jango Fett himself isn't hard, but he's got that dang ship helping him out.
Use R5 on the panels and the turrets will shoot at the ship, making it turn
away from you. Then focus on Jango. He'll shoot lasers and you need to deflect
them back at him. Eventually he will start to shoot rockets. Force them back
at him. He'll get away after you win... To Be Continued...
Mission 2: Droid Factory
Walk straight ahead. Some Geonosians (from here on bugs) will jump
out at you. Kill them and go through the door. Drop down to the
conveyor belt. There will be some "stompers". As soon as they start
to come up, run under them. Repeat this until the end of the belt.
You find R2 at the end. Activate the fans toward the top via Force
and ride up them. Get off onto the little platform at the end and go
through the door. Use Padme to grapple up and shoot the switch. This
will raise a barrel of steaming rocks. As dangerous as it may seem,
jump on them and then onto the next platform. Grapple to the next
platform. Shoot this switch. That will make the barrel start moving.
Hitch a ride. It will drop you off at the next platform. Force the
object on the ground, which is a switch. Shoot it and the barrels
next to you will start to move up and down. Jump on them and jump
off onto the platform. Jump on the next barrel and continue along
until you get to the area with an R2 panel. Use it and go through.
use Anakin to jump on the platform. Use the force on the thing in
the middle. C3PO will get on. Continue rotating and get off at the
other end. 3PO the door and go on. Some bugs will come at you. Kill
'em all (Metallica anybody?) and continue to the right. Use Padme
to grapple up and shoot the thing at the end. Then force it and
use R2 to fly across and make the bridge via panel. then use 3PO to
open the door. Use R2 to activate the switch on the right conveyor
belt. Use the Force on the thing that comes out and shoot it to
blow up the force field. Go through, kill the droids, and use the
force on the things holding Obi-Wan's limbs, and the level is done.
Mission 3: Jedi Battle
Not much to this level. You have to rescue your three captured
friends. Start with Padme, who is like right there. Kill the guards
and use the force on the thing she is standing on. Follow along the
edge and do the same to your other partners. After that, some droids
will charge out. Kill the specified droids (the ones shown at top
of screen) and more will come. Treat them with the same hospitality.
And look who's here to crash the party!
Use the same strategy as before, and force the rockets back at him. And this
time, he kicks the bucket for good.
Mission 4: Gunship Calvary
Another ship level. Ugh. Fly around killing the droid things. Blow
up the other weird looking things for studs. Shoot the blue electric
things to clear a path. In the next area, shoot the laser things
when they are finished shooting. Do this to both on the sides of a
blue shield thing and then blow up the power converters. After you
do this to all of the power cinverters, the big ship go BOOM!
Mission 5: Count Dooku
When you start off, go in the base. Kill the droids Dooku sics on
you. Then go in where he went. More Dooku pets to kill. After they
have pushed up a few daisies, press the switch on the ground. Obi
will jump on the next switch. Jump on the one after him and so on.
At the top, use the force on a switch and Obi will take the other
(assuming you're Anakin, which is optional). After that, go in and
you get a...
Fight him like you would anyone else and then use the Jango Rocket strategy
when he throws the objects at you. Stay close to him, or he'll jump and issue
an unavoidable attack.
After that, Episode II complete! YAY!!!
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Mission 1: Battle over Coruscant
Not much here, fly around, shoot droids, blow up traps, don't die.
shoot the red dots on things to blow up a passage.
Mission 2: Chancellor in Peril
Go straight down the hallway and use the force on the door. Go
through. Drop down and kill the droids. Go to the other end and
use the force on the things on the wall. Now jump up and force the
yellow cages on the wall. Go through. Kill the droids in here and
go through. Use R2 to open the door with the little thing inside.
Use the force on it and it will blow up after you put it in the
other door, making the ceiling fall and giving you a ladder. In the
next area, go to the right and use the force on the thing on the
wall. Jump up on it. Now force the little orange thing. Use the
air current and ride up. Kill the droideka and go through. Fight
Dooku and then head up the stairs. Go through the door up here.
You will be immediately chased by a big thing that is stirring
up a lot of dust. Run through and at the bottom, go through the
door. Use the force on the approriate objects to get through this
area. Now run through the next. Kill the droids and the bodyguards
in here and then use the force on the little things on the computers
and the level will end.
Mission 3: General Grievous
Did anyone notice that Yoda said General Gweevous in the movie?
Anywho, pull out your lightsaber immediately. Duke it out with
Grievous. Jump and attack for an easy hit. After you hit him twice,
he'll jump away (sissy). Switch to Cody (the clone) and shoot the
explosive barrel. It'll blow up, damage him, and he'll jump back
over. Switch back to Obi and use the above strategy. After that he
will jump away again. Use the Force on the rubbel to make a bridge,
walk across it and jump up the platforms. Force the stuff on the
wall. It will form a platform. Switch to Cody and jump up on it.
Jump again and shoot toward Grievous at the top of your jump. It
should hit the explosive and knock Grievous back down. Attack with
Obi. He'll jump away again. Go back to the previous area. Jump up
the stairs that you make with the force. Force the legos on the wall
and then the explosive. Now shoot it with Cody. Attack Grievous for
the final time with Obi. Watch as Grivous chops up Cody and then Obi
shoots him.
Mission 4: Defense of Kashyyyk
Go along the platforms and use the force on the things next to the
bridges to lower them. Keep doing this and you'll come to some
who attack you! TRAITORS!!! Unleash your little green furry upon
their pathetic LEGO bodies. Continue along the bridges until you
find out that the clones have attacked the wookies and captured some
of them. Now how did they do that so quickly...hmmm... They are all
atop a platform, exept one, who is guarded by two troopers. Save
them all and go to the bridge farther along the platforms. Stand on
a switch and head over the bridge to the beach. You will encounter
many walkers and enemies. For the walkers, just run up and press B
FAST. This will block all lasers and you'll attack. Work your way
to the other end of the beach and use the Force on hte flowers. One
will reveal a grapple point. Grapple up, shoot the switches, and
go through the bridge door. Fight your way through this area and
go through the exit on the other side. Follow this path until you
get to the staircase of death, we shall call it. Kill the walker
and Force the flowers to reveal a staircase. Jump up it and go along
the boulder paths. Jump into a boulder right as it hits you to not
hurt. You have to actually press A though, not just Yoda Hop. Use
the Force on the rubble at the end and use it as a staircase to get
to the switches you need to stand on to open the door. Follow the
path and when you get to an area with little nodes surrounding a
patch of grass, use the force on them then destroy them. Your
shuttle has arrived, sir. Use the force on it.
Mission 5: Ruin of the Jedi
Run foward and kill the "Jedi." After that head toward the stairs
and Force the objects blocking the door. Go through. In here, head
along the catwalk and use the force on the brown lego stack. Jump
up the new stairs and head along this platform. Drop down at the end
and go right. Move the red LEGO's via force and use the switch
underneath with Yoda to proceed. Go straight and in the bigger area
go up and to the right. Im here, use the force on the little bridges
in the walls. Use them to jump to the switch and activate it. This
will let down a forcefield to the other alcove next to you. Go in
there and use the very top platform to jump on the switch, then use
the switch that was behind the forcefield. This will open the OTHER
alcove. Do the same in here. This will open the door we need to go
through. Go through it. Kill the clones. Then use the force on the
desk thing.
Mission 6: Darth Vader
Run and jump over holes to get to the next area. Use the fallen lego
pillars to raise the clock. Go to the right and move the pillars via
force. After that, force the things on the edge of the door and exit
this area. Force all the switches and work with your "Partner" to
get out of this area. Note that you can switch to Anakin. Jump along
these things in the lava. Go up, left, and up again to get through.
Jump as high up the big metal thing. Jump to the rock area before
the thing you're on sinks. Now duke it out with the other. If you
begin the fight as Anakin, you will have ten hearts. Do that.
Congrats! You've beaten LEGO: Star Wars! I hope you enjoyed it!
Minikits .:min06:.
Minikits are little hidden items that look remotely like a traffic light. They
are hidden throughout each level. There are ten for every level. If you manage
to find all of these, it will go toward your %Complete: status. You will also
get a whopping 50,000 studs if you find all ten in a level. A nice treat for
your hard work.
Superkit .:sup07:.
Superkits are sort of like minikits. To get a superkit piece, you must find a
certain amount of studs in each level. The amount of studs necessary varies
with the level. These can be hard and time consuming, so if you have a lot of
patience and are good at the game, you will have it easier than some.
Thanks .:tha08:.
Thanks go to:
My friend Andrew, who lended me his copy of the game so I could write this FAQ.
LucasArts for making the game.
LEGO for making LEGO's.
Nintendo for making the GameCube so I could play this game.
GameFAQs, for being so awesome.
And lots of others who aren't listed, thanks!!!

This FAQ/Walkthrough is copyrighted by me, Chapel Collins a.k.a monkeydance994.
All trademarks, copyrights, etc. listed somewhere in this FAQ are property of
its respective owner.
Q & A .:q&a10:.
Here are some basic questions and answers.
Q: Is this game worth buying?
A: Yes, definately. It will keep you going trying to find the minikits.
Q: What are minikits/superkits?
A: See above sections, Minikits and Superkits
Q: How do I play as <insert character>?
A: You either unlock them in the game, or unlock them and have to buy them at
the counter in the diner.
Q: Is a blaster better than a lightsaber?
A: Short Anwer: No
Longer Answer: It really depends on your taste and skill. I preferr the
lightsaber because you can deflect lasers and with the
blaster all you can do is dodge.
Q: What is the :?: door? Why can't I go in it?
A: To unlock that, you have to get all the superkits. Once you do that, you can
go in and out as you wish. For what is inside, I am pretty sure it is just
bonus material and a character or two.

OK, I'll check that out.EDIT: I've improved over the change, as there's more texts that seemed to be too long.Also found out, the Exit window (When going FILE->EXIT) calculates the height a bit too short for the string that's shown. I did a dirty fix for now.
Quote from: McCunyao on November 10, 2012, 10:04:52 PMI did a dirty fix for now.You can fix this by adding some spaces at the end of this string, so it mimics another (empty) line.

I don't know if I should post game bugs here.Starting from today, I'll start using version 0.11, so I'll report bugs I'll found.I'd like to do a request, in that case. I'm sure it's been asked, but will any day be able to do multiplayer matches?It'd be nice to do LAN games with my brothers.

First, get a rough estimate of the expenses that you are likely to incur. Remember, the process should not cost you or your family anything. There are fixed expenses like medical costs and lawyers fees which should be taken in advance. Monthly expenses include special diets and visits to a doctor. Work things out – there are a lot more that needs to be considered.- email@example.com

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Among the stocks that could see active trade in Monday's session are Great Wolf Resorts Inc., Illumina Inc. and WD-40 Co.
Quarterly financial results are in short supply to start the week, but it won't stay that way as earnings season kicks into gear. Greenbrier Cos. GBX, +0.11%, Penford Corp. PENX, Zep Inc. ZEP, -0.27% and Tortoise Capital Resources Corp. TTO, +1.32% are Monday's notables.
AT&T Corp. T, +1.13% and the Communications Workers of America continue to negotiate over a new labor contract, with nearly 40,000 workers represented by the union remaining on the job. The employees, in Dallas-based AT&T's landline and other "legacy" operations, will work under terms of their expired contract while talks continue, the Dow Jones Industrial Average component said Sunday. However, the union said it retained the right to call a strike, noting that rank-and-file members voted overwhelmingly to authorize a walkout in the event a contract covering such issues as employment security and health care can't be hammered out.
Suitors submitted new offers in the ongoing battle to acquire Great Wolf Resorts WOLF, +3.33%, operator of indoor waterpark resorts in nine states and Ontario. On Sunday, the Madison, Wis.-based company said that it received an offer to buy Great Wolf for $7 a share in cash from KSL Capital Partners and that its board would evaluate the proposal with its independent financial and legal advisers. This followed a company announcement late Friday that an affiliate of Apollo Global Management APO, -1.07% agreed to raise its offer for Great Wolf to $6.75 a share, up from a previous cash offer of $5 a share. Great Wolf's board unanimously approved the sweetened offer and recommended that stockholders tender their shares. The board also terminated consideration of an April 4 offer by KSL Capital to acquire Great Wolf for $6.25 a share in cash.
Also when Wall Street was closed for Good Friday, Illumina ILMN, -0.65% said proxy-advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services has determined that Roche Group's most recent acquisition bid is inadequate and still undervalues the San Diego-based bioscience company. In response, pharmaceutical giant Roche vowed to press forward with a proxy contest at Illumina's April 18 annual meeting. "Our goal has always been to enter into a negotiated transaction with Illumina, and we firmly believe that our present offer is more than adequate to serve as a basis for negotiation," said Severin Schwan, Switzerland-based Roche's chief executive, in a statement Friday. "We remain willing to consider additional value if given the opportunity to enter discussions and perform due diligence. We expect that Illumina shareholders will support this objective and vote for our director nominees." Late last month, Roche raised its offer for Illumina to $51 a share in cash, or about $6.8 billion on a fully diluted basis.
April 5 earnings recap
WD-40 WDFC, -1.03% reported financial results for the second quarter ended Feb. 29 and issued a forecast for the full fiscal year. The San Diego-based company posted net earnings of $10.6 million, or 65 cents a share, up from $9.1 million, or 53 cents, earned in the year-earlier second quarter. The lubricants and cleaning-products maker also generated quarterly sales of $86 million, up from the prior year's $79.2 million. In a survey by FactSet Research, the consensus of analysts had been that WD-40 would show a profit of 53 cents a share on sales of $85.3 million. The company noted that gross margin narrowed to 49% in the latest quarter from 51.8% a year earlier. For the year, the company projected earnings of $2.33 to $2.45 a share, with net sales pegged in a range of $353 million to $370 million. Analysts, on average, have been looking for earnings of $2.30 a share and revenue of $356.5 million.
Harry Winston Diamond Corp. HWD reported earnings of $16.6 million, or 20 cents a share, for the fourth quarter ended Jan. 31, up from $13.7 million, or 16 cents, earned in the final three months of fiscal 2011. The Toronto-based company's quarterly sales reached $216 million from $215.4 million a year earlier, as strength in mining revenue compensated for weakness in the company's luxury brand segment. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had been looking for Harry Winston to generate a quarterly profit of 21 cents a share, on average.

By joanmarie
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups Carnaroli or Arborio rice
- 2 large pinches saffron
- 3 to 4 cups chicken stock, kept HOT
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Servings 4
Cooking time 45mins
Step 1
Coat a large saucepan generously with olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and salt and sweat them until translucent, about 5 minutes. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, letting the rice slightly stick to the bottom of the pan and scraping it off. It should also sound crackly.
Add the saffron to the hot chicken stock; the stock should turn bright yellow.
Add the wine to the pan until it covers the surface of the rice. Season with salt and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the wine has absorbed into the rice. Add the saffron chicken stock to the pan until it covers the rice. Cook over a medium-high heat, stirring continuously until the stock has absorbed into the rice.
Repeat this process two more times with the hot saffron chicken stock. When the third addition of the stock has absorbed and the rice is very creamy, bite a couple grains of rice to be sure it is cooked perfectly. If it is still a little crunchy, add a little more stock and cook the rice for another couple of minutes. When the rice is cooked perfectly, remove it from the heat.
Toss in the butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano and "whip the heck out of it." The rice should be creamy but still flow and hold its own shape.

- Latest HTML5 Responsive Styling - You can now see a new, more modern styling on the board. Along with this, you can resize the browser to see the board change with it. The board is now functional on all sizes of screens, including your cell phone, table and desktop/laptop.
- Post Sharing - Although you could previously, the new layout means the sharing icons are more visible on the lower right hand corner of each post. Click your favourite social media outlet to share the desired post with them.
- Multiple Themes - Previously there was only one theme in an attempt to lower the workload when modifications were put in place. Fortunately, the new modification system is much simpler to implement and we now have multiple colour options for you to enjoy. You can change these from your User Control Panel under the Board Settings heading.
- Announcements - Announcements can now be posted here (where you're seeing this one) and, in most cases, can be dismissed. To dismiss them, please click the "X" in the top right corner of this box.
- Collapsing Categories - Categories, such as News & Announcements or Welcome (below), can be collapsed to clear up some of the clutter. This state should be maintained as long as you're logged in.
We hope you like the changes!
