Edmonton, Alberta, November 26, 2012 – Titan Logix Corp., (TSX Venture: TLA), an advanced technology industrial instrumentation and controls company, announces its results for the three months and year ended August 31, 2012.
Gross profit
Earnings before income taxes
Net earnings
Basic earnings per share
Titan Logix Corp.'s sales for fiscal 2012 totaled $17,941,757, an increase of $6,836,782 from sales of $11,104,975 in the previous year. Earnings before income tax, for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2012 was $4,271,468 compared to $1,108,264 in fiscal 2011. Net earnings and comprehensive income were $3,657,718 compared to $1,709,599 for fiscal 2011. This represents a 62% increase in sales and a 114% increase in net earnings. The fiscal 2012 results reflect the successful execution of our strategic plan, our continually improving operational strength, and the increased customer demand for our oilfield fluid transport products.
In the fourth quarter of 2012 Titan's sales were $5,131,387, an increase of $1,674,037 from the fourth quarter sales of $3,457,350 in fiscal 2011. The net earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $878,981 compared to net income of $1,262,889 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The decrease in net earnings is attributable to the fourth quarter increase of $40,549 in income tax expense as compared to the $608,209 income tax recovery recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, offset by the increase in earnings before tax.
Fiscal 2012 marked the achievement of record revenues in Titan's history. Titan's sales outside of Canada, primarily to the U.S., were $8,677,531 in fiscal 2012, an increase of 139% from sales of $3,627,594 in fiscal 2011. This substantial increase in U.S. sales is a reflection of the success of Titan's strategy and response to the increasing market demand.
In fiscal 2012, total expenses were $4,842,309, an increase from $3,881,859 in the previous year. General and administration expenses were $2,370,093 compared to $1,635,124 in fiscal 2011. Marketing and sales expenses were $1,638,066 compared to $1,325,741 in the previous year. Engineering and development expenses were $739,919 compared to $789,280 for the previous year. Total engineering and development expenditures prior to the capitalization of development costs and the recording of recoveries for funding received were $1,061,661 for fiscal 2012 compared to $1,095,017 for the previous fiscal year. Titan had a loss on foreign exchange of $18,936 due to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar as compared to a loss in fiscal 2011 of $61,196.
At August 31, 2012 working capital was $8,557,406 compared to the August 31, 2011 year-end balance of $4,430,414. Cash and cash equivalents were $5,060,318 at the end of fiscal 2012 compared to $1,457,324 on August 31, 2011. Titan does not have any debt except for trade payables and accrued liabilities. Titan continues to maintain a strong balance sheet and a good cash position.
"I am very pleased with how well Titan did in fiscal 2012," said Board Chair, R. W. (Bob) Logan. "We were able to keep operating costs in line while serving our customers' overwhelming demand for our products."
Fiscal year 2012 was an exceptional year for Titan.
Titan looks forward to the opportunities available in Fiscal 2013. There has been a reduction in truck tanker manufacturing levels and some manufacturers are no longer in the crude oil tanker business. These are market indicators that Titan management tracks on an ongoing basis. "We are viewing Fiscal 2013 with cautious optimism," said Greg McGillis, President and CEO. "The markets we serve are ever-changing. We monitor the activity and act accordingly."
The Company's strategy is to develop, manufacture, market and support the right products to ensure its customers achieve a high return on investment/low true cost of ownership through advanced technology. Titan sells engineered, purpose-built products that meet market needs today while providing the facility for future expansion as customer needs change.
Titan Logix Corp.'s strategic objectives for fiscal year 2013 are:
Titan's core focus of its business is portrayed in its theme "Advanced Technology Fluid Management Solutions, In the Field, On the Road and In the Office".

The Creative Destruction of Medicine
Publisher's Summary
Until very recently, if you were to ask most doctors, they would tell you there were only two kinds of medicine: the quack kind, and the evidence-based kind. The former is baseless, and the latter based on the best information human effort could buy, with carefully controlled double-blind trials, hundreds of patients, and clear indicators of success. Well, Eric Topol isn't most doctors, and he suggests you entertain the notion of a third kind of medicine, one that will make the evidence-based state-of-the-art stuff look scarcely better than an alchemist trying to animate a homunculus in a jar.
It turns out that plenty of new medicines - although tested with what seem like large trials - actually end up revealing most of their problems only once they get out in the real world, with millions of people with all kinds of conditions mixing them with everything in the pharmacopeia. The unexpected interactions of drugs, patients, and diseases can be devastating. And the clear indicators of success often turn out to be minimal, often as small as one fewer person dying out of a hundred (or even a thousand), and often at exorbitant cost.
How can we avoid these dangerous interactions and side-effects? How can we predict which person out of a hundred will be helped by a new drug, and which fatally harmed? And how can we avoid having to need costly drugs in the first place? It sure isn't by doing another 400-person trial.
As Topol argues in The Creative Destruction of Medicine, it's by bringing the era of big data to the clinic, laboratory, and hospital, with wearable sensors, smartphone apps, and whole-genome scans providing the raw materials for a revolution. Combining all the data those tools can provide will give us a complete and continuously updated picture of every patient, changing everything from the treatment of disease, to the prolonging of health, to the development of new treatments. As revolutionary as the past 20 years in personal technology and medicine have been - remember phones the sizes of bricks that only made calls, or when the most advanced "genotyping" we could do involved discerning blood types and Rh-factors? - Topol makes it clear that we haven't seen a thing yet. With an optimism matched only by a realism gained through 25 years in a tough job, Topol proves the ideal guide to the medicine of the future - medicine he himself is deeply involved in creating.

Very interesting, but in someways very naive.
Where does The Creative Destruction of Medicine rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
Dr. Topol presents a very lively, and optimistic view of medicine and patterns that may advance it in the near future. The optimism espoused is very heavily dependent on technological advances (which is in many ways understandable), but the author doesn't address how to rid ourselves of our terrible health care delivery system. The role of non-scientists and non-clinical care givers in our current system.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Creative Destruction of Medicine?
The ridiculous amount of bureaucracy organizations like the FDA represent, and still how many times corners get cut on the road to approval when the applicant has the money to pay.
The ridiculous concept of surrogate endpoints, and misleading statistics.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I went a referred to some sources that Dr. Topol mentioned and I took a circuitous path.
Any additional comments?
Interesting points throughout the book, but also very disturbing that the health care industry has little resemblance to evidence based medicine.

A Rx Prediction for Health Care
The US is behind a number of countries when it comes to use of medical information technology (IT). Physicians in the US have been notorious for being late adaptors of new technology and IT. Eric Topol, MD, in his book The Creative Destruction of Medicine, addresses issues surrounding the digital revolution and building the health system of the future. This is a thoughtful, intelligent book which walks the novice through what is possible, the tests and images available, what is to potentially come into wide use, and why we should care. There is a tipping point (my term) on the horizon that will change health care in the USA forever. The digital revolution that is turning higher education upside down, revolutionizing the retail sector, and upending banking and finance is on the cusp of changing how we maintain wellness in the country. Negatively, Topol allocates long passages to genetic decoding, imaging, and other methodology. That can be very interesting to general readers, but I really wanted more information and speculation about what is to come as a result of digital influence on the practice of medicine. Some parts of the books are a little, but then I am a grown up and benefit without being entertained. I don't mind "lots of words and no pictures." The Dick Hill reading is very good.

glimpse into a better future...maybe
Fascinating survey of how technology is fueling positive changes in healthcare. Eric Topol provides a clear view of the path forward, along with the obstacles that need to be overcome. While it won't happen soon enough for many people, positive change is on the way.

Fantastic read for everyone in healthcare
Dr Topol talks about the practice of medicine in United States and how outdated it is and how advances in genomics, technology, digital monitoring are largely left out. He also gives a comprehensive overview of all of the above with lot of references and examples. I listened to it on my daily commute so it was impactful. I can imagine it getting a bit tedious for a reader.

Narrator kills it
This may well be a great book but I just couldn't tolerate the narrator's 1950's melodramatic newscaster reading style. Didn't even get to the end of the first chapter.

Not at all about The Digital Revolution
This book is for the most part a rant on the inadequacies of medical science. If I wanted a book on that subject I would have bought one.
I wanted a book that goes in depth on how the digital revolution is making health care better.
A very negative book too, just keeps on complaining over and over.

Poor plot orginization
Would you try another book from Eric Topol and/or Dick Hill?
What was most disappointing about Eric Topol's story?
It was a long list of new things in medicine poorly organized into a book
How could the performance have been better?
He could have read the book at a normal pace instead of the slowest reading ever in a poor attempt to make the book seem longer

Liebherr RoadShow 2015 comes successfully to an end
- Approximately 8,700 visitors at five RoadShow stations in Austria and the Czech Republic
- Many customers from all over Europe visited the mobile performance show
- Presentation of extensive construction machine programme under the motto "Experience diversity"
The Liebherr RoadShow was underway in Austria and the Czech Republic from the beginning of April to the end of May 2015. Approximately 8,700 customers and partners visited the event. Under predominantly sunny conditions, the expert audience had the opportunity to experience the performance and diversity of Liebherr's range of construction machines by watching the product show with commentary, during practical demonstrations as well as off-road tests.
Under the motto "Experience diversity", Liebherr exhibited a representative cross-section of the construction machine programme, for the fourth time now, with 22 construction machines on five tour stops. The samples presented by Liebherr and the long-term co-operation partners, Mercedes-Benz and Trimble, were available to customers for practical testing. Product and equipment demonstrations, a skills course and also simulators enhanced the program. Furthermore, Liebherr provided information about services, such as complete crane assemblies, mixing plant inspections, full service offers for earthmoving machines and also spare parts logistics as well as the Reman program for components.
The Liebherr RoadShow team was delighted to experience such an outstanding response from customers and partners. With approximately 8,700 visitors at five event locations, the high level from 2012 was once again exceeded. The international character of the event series was repeatedly apparent in 2015. Liebherr was able to welcome guests not only from Austria and the Czech Republic. Visitors also traveled from Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Russia, Hungary, Sweden, Slovenia, Croatia and the USA.
The challenging test drives from Mercedes-Benz's truck and transport programme enjoyed high popularity. Altogether, more than 2,000 test drives were completed. Moreover, visitors were able to put the GPS and laser controls as well as Loadrite excavator vehicles from Trimble to the test.
Aside from the practical presentation, a great deal of comprehensive specialist and informative talks were held between visitors and the Liebherr sales team, which underlined the fact that this type of product show is a perfect supplement to exhibition events. It was good to receive many requests and a pleasure to record a number of sales.

We need to know who owns whom
One of the worst decisions ever made by the Supreme Court of the United States was the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, decided by a 5-4 vote, mainly along partisan lines. Members of the Supreme Court appointed by Republicans, who have decried for years activists judges who choose to legislate from the bench, are responsible not only for this bad decision, but for the decision subverting the electoral process in the state of Florida and installing George W. Bush as president.
Citizens United, in case you've been living under a rock somewhere and never watch the evening news, is the case that declared that laws prohibiting rich corporations from spending corporate money on elections were an unreasonable restraint on freedom of speech. Advocates of this horrible decision, such as former Gov. Mitt Romney, declare that corporations are people and as such should enjoy the same right of free speech as any American citizen.
Corporations can't be sentenced to jail. They cannot be drafted into military service, and they can be citizens of multiple countries concurrently. Corporations are not democratic organizations having the benefit of one man, one vote; rather, they are controlled by the vote of shareholders whose voting strength is strictly determined by the amount of money put into the corporation by the would-be voters. Decisions are made by a board of directors, and now, because of the Citizens United ruling, the board can spend other people's money on the campaigns of political candidates without the approval of the persons who furnished the money. The same prohibition has for years and years applied to unions. It was felt unions should not be able to spend the dues of their members to elect candidates that some of the dues-paying members did not necessarily favor. Citizens United has stood this concept on its head.
We are seeing the results of allowing unlimited corporate investment in political elections most recently in the Republican Primary. Super pacs furnished more than $300 million just in the intermural fight between Republican candidates for presidents. The $300 million spent in the primary election, in my opinion, will be only a small preview of the spending orgy to come in the general election for the leader of this nation.
Americans value the right of free speech so much that they generally has bought into the concept promoted by the news media that the people have a right to know, and it should be exercised without restraint. Court decisions regularly allow the slander of persons having any public notoriety whatsoever on the theory that to do otherwise would have a chilling effect on the media's efforts to keep the public informed.
I have long taken a somewhat different view in that I have trouble finding anywhere in the Constitution of the United States or of the state of Texas that declares the people have the right to know anything. I firmly believe that the people have a need to know.
Certainly, people need to know essential facts about what's going on in government. I also believe we should be zealous in protecting free speech, but I strongly disagree that any great effort should be made to constitutionally protect lies. What Citizens United has done is grant to the very rich, such as the Koch brothers, the ability to spend millions of dollars on slander, almost – if not completely – anonymously. Recently, more than $59 million spent on elections has been traced to a remote post office box in Arizona. It is highly suspected that it is funded by the Koch brothers who are estimated to be worth $50 billion. There are countless documented instances of phony 501(c)3 so-called nonprofit organizations that are mysteriously funded, and those participating in those so-called nonprofits deny knowledge of where the money comes from.
If you believe elections cannot be bought, you obviously did not follow the recent election between James White and Tuffy Hamilton in the Southeast Texas area. Tuffy Hamilton was a longtime member of the Legislature, a committee chair with a record of achievement to point to. James White was a freshman whose record was virtually devoid of any major accomplishments as a member of the Texas House of Representatives. Tuffy was swamped with TV ads to the extent they were almost nauseating. Television ads are expensive, and yet James White's campaign would run sometimes three expensive ads back to back, one after the other, in prime time in the evenings. The results were devastating for the voters of Southeast Texas as well as for Tuffy Hamilton.
Texas has a fairly decent system of accountability in funding elections, at least for the candidates themselves. A candidate is obligated to register campaign contributions, both received and spent, with the Ethics Commission. Citizens, as a result, have the opportunity, as well as the right, to check and see from whence the money came to promote a particular candidate. Unfortunately, with Citizens United, it is no longer possible to hold a candidate accountable for massive amounts of money pumped in from even outside one's district in an election.
I would prefer a constitutional amendment be adopted which would put us back to square one and prohibit unlimited corporate or union contributions. It would be a great improvement, in the meantime, if we would simply require that corporations give money to the candidate. Require the candidate to report it so the voting public could have a better idea of who owns each candidate or to whom each candidate is indebted. It is difficult, if not impossible, for discerning voters to make an intelligent choice between candidates not knowing which candidate might have received a couple of million dollars from a special interest whose interest is contrary to the average voter.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Obesity compounds the harmful effects of heavy drinking on the liver, new research in more than 9,000 Scottish men shows.
Based on the findings, the investigators argue that lower limits for "safe" alcohol consumption in heavier people may be necessary.
Deaths from liver disease have risen in certain parts of the world, and alcohol consumption patterns don't completely explain this observation, Dr. Carole L. Hart of the University of Glasgow and her colleagues write in the British Medical Journal.
Given that obesity is on the rise, and that excess weight has been linked to disease, Hart and her team investigated whether alcohol consumption and being overweight act together to increase the risk of liver disease.
The researchers looked at two studies including a total of 9,559 men from Scotland. The first study enrolled people between 1965 and 1968, and the second enrolled people in 1970 and 1973. All were followed through the end of 2007.
During that time, 80 men died of liver disease, while 146 died from causes including liver disease. Within the second study, the researchers identified 196 men with liver disease through cancer registries, deaths, or hospital admission.
The men who downed 15 drinks a week or more had triple the risk of liver disease if they were normal-weight or underweight compared to non-drinking men in the same weight range. In contrast, overweight men who drank this much were seven times more likely to have liver disease than slimmer non-drinkers.
Risk was increased 19-fold for heavy drinking, obese men compared to thin teetotalers.
Obese men who drank from one to 14 drinks each week were about five times more likely to have liver disease compared to normal- or underweight non-drinkers.
There are several possible mechanisms through which excess weight could contribute to alcohol-related liver disease, and vice-versa, the researchers say; obesity can promote inflammation and fat accumulation in the liver — as does excessive drinking — while this type of liver damage, known as steatohepatitis, can also contribute to obesity by boosting insulin resistance.
"New perspectives on the risk of liver disease may need to be considered for people who are overweight and consume alcohol," they conclude. Lower "safe limits" of alcohol consumption may need to be defined in overweight and obese individuals, they add.

How to Use the Images
Drawing 2: Andersonville Prison as it appeared in August 1864. Drawn by Thomas O'Dea, former prisoner.
A Picture Worth a Thousand Words
I never drew a picture before in my life. Were I an artist, I could have completed it in a short time. I commenced this work in the winter of 1879 and finished it in 1885 devoting to it my leisure moments for over 5 years....
...In executing the work, I had no picture, map, plan or scale to guide or instruct me, but I relied upon and drew the whole subject from memory. To the casual observer, such a thing may be looked upon as absurd and impossible, that it is impossible after such a length of time for "memory" to retain such a perfect list and one of details as here portrayed and that I must have had assistance from some other source to be able to present such a vast combination of characters and situations in so perfect manner. Ah my friends, had you been there and experienced the sufferings that, in common with the thousands of other unfortunates who "were there," you too, like myself, would have the whole panorama photographed in your memory to remain there to your dying day....
Questions for Drawing 2
1. Based on the portion of O'Dea's drawing shown above, how would you describe the prison and its surrounding area?
2. Do the artist's words help you understand the impact Andersonville prison had on its occupants? If so, how?
3.Why might he have drawn this image? Why did it take him so long to complete?
4. Find the prisoners who are on their way to the stockade from the railroad. How might prisoners in this situation have felt? How do you think they might have felt after they entered the prison?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Drawing 2, but be aware that it will take about 50 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Freedom of Information or NOT?
'The Government believes that we need to throw open the doors of public bodies, to enable the public to hold politicians and public bodies to account' ......... or does it?
Government's policy on Bovine TB and badger control in England: Government transparency and accountability
July 2013
The publication of the Government's policy on Bovine TB and badger control in England by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in December 2011i has resulted in a great deal of often heated scientific, political and public debate, and generated widespread concern among many stakeholder groups and the public at large.
Not least among those concerns has been the lack of transparency from DEFRA on this issue, the clear abuse of response timelines in order to avoid answering queries in a timely fashion, and its misuse of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 in order to prevent the release of information which is clearly of significant public interest.
The provision of detailed information on all aspects of the Government's policy is essential if the public is to have any confidence that the policy is evidence-based, has not been unduly influenced by those with vested interests, and is likely to generate credible information on which future policy can be based.
Three examples of the difficulties experienced are summarised below:
The criteria and methodology for determining humaneness
Humane Society International/UK (HSI UK) approached DEFRA in October 2012 with a number of specific questions relating to the criteria and methodology by which the humaneness of 'controlled shooting' would be assessed during the 'pilot culls', originally scheduled to take place in 2012 but subsequently delayed until 2013. DEFRA has used various tactics to prevent and delay disclosure of information, including:

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) - update
13 July 2013 - The Ministry of Health (MoH) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has notified WHO of a laboratory-confirmed case of infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in the country.
The patient is an 82-year-old man with underlying medical conditions and is currently in critical condition.
Globally, from September 2012 to date, WHO has been informed of a total of 82 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including 45 deaths.
Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns.
Health care providers are advised to maintain vigilance. Recent travelers returning from the Middle East who develop SARI should be tested for MERS-CoV as advised in the current surveillance recommendations.
Specimens from patients' lower respiratory tracts should be obtained for diagnosis where possible. Clinicians are reminded that MERS-CoV infection should be considered even with atypical signs and symptoms, such as diarrhea, in patients who are immunocompromised.
Health care facilities are reminded of the importance of systematic implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC). Health care facilities that provide care for patients suspected or confirmed with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus to other patients, health care workers and visitors.
All Member States are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with MERS-CoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course. Investigation into the source of exposure should promptly be initiated to identify the mode of exposure, so that further transmission of the virus can be prevented.
WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it currently recommend the application of any travel or trade restrictions.
WHO has convened an Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations (IHR) on a precautionary basis in order to be prepared for a change in the situation. The Emergency Committee, which comprises international experts from all WHO Regions, will provide expert technical advice to the WHO Director-General in accordance to the IHR (2005). The first meeting of the Committee took place on 9 July 2013 and a further meeting is scheduled for next week.

After Israeli invasion, Gaza farmers still back rocket attacks
ATATRA, Gaza Strip — Some time before dawn on Saturday, Palestinian militants apparently crept through northern Gaza Strip farmland ravaged by Israeli tanks, set up their rudimentary rocket launcher in Mahmoud al Attar's potato patch and fled for safety long before the Qassam rocket smashed harmlessly in a field in southern Israel.
Attar was frustrated Saturday morning when he discovered the small metal launcher in his fields. Although Attar didn't want militants using his land as a launching pad, the 42-year-old farmer said he still supports the attacks.
Despite Israel's punishing 22-day Gaza Strip offensive designed to cripple Hamas and bring rocket attacks to a complete halt, Al-Attar and some of his neighbors said they see no better way for Palestinians to fight back.
"We don't agree about launching the rockets and we are not launching the rockets," Attar said after discovering the rocket launcher in his field. "But it's the only way for us to express our frustration."
Attar is among the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians whose lives and livelihoods have been upended by the Israeli military operation and its aftermath.
Israeli tanks and bulldozers tore through Attar's olive groves, flattened his date palms, churned up his potato fields and crushed his greenhouses. Israeli forces opened fire on Attar's nearby apartment building and left it a charred ruin. Attar said he and his 21-year-old son were rounded up by Israeli soldiers, detained for days in a large dirt holding pen with dozens of neighbors, taken to an Israeli prison for questioning, and sent back to Gaza as the Israeli military campaign wound down.
In the aftermath of the military operation, Palestinian officials with the Hamas-led Gaza Strip government estimated that the Israeli offensive had caused more than $225 million in damage to the agricultural industry.
Attar returned to discover that the Israeli strikes had killed more than 1,200 Palestinians, ruined thousands of homes like his and caused an estimated $2 billion in damage to Gaza.
Deep in debt, Attar said he has no money to replant his fields or rebuild his greenhouses.
Even if he had money, there is virtually nothing for Attar to buy.
Israel is refusing to allow most building supplies into Gaza while it is controlled by hard-line Hamas leaders who refuse to renounce their stated commitment to destroy Israel.
And, until Israel opens its borders, Palestinians like Attar and his neighbors still see the militant rocket attacks as a reasonable form of protest.
"It's an expression of anger," said Ghassan Mishal, a Gaza electronics salesman who walked past olive trees toppled by Israeli forces. "Find us a solution. If the resistance talks with their mouths, would anyone listen to them?"
Curbing Palestinian rocket fire was a central goal of Israel's military campaign. Gaza rockets have killed 12 people in Israel since the Israeli military emptied all Jewish settlements in Gaza in 2005. Israel officially ended 38-years of military rule of the 1.5 million Palestinians living in this isolated Mediterranean strip.
But, since then, Israel has constrained the Palestinian economy by tightly regulating the flow of aid and supplies allowed to reach Gaza. The restrictions increased after Hamas seized military control of Gaza in June 2007.
While Egypt is trying to broker a new, more-stable cease-fire with Israel and Hamas, it appears as if the Middle East adversaries are still holding firm to complicating demands.
Hamas leaders said they have offered a one-year cease-fire if Israel opens its border crossings with Gaza. But Israel says it won't allow aid and supplies to flow back into Gaza until Hamas releases Gilad Shalit, the young Israeli soldier who has been held by Palestinian militants since being captured in 2006.
"You can't have full, permanent, normal functioning of the crossings until Gilad Shalit is released," said Mark Regev, a spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
In the meantime, Gaza militants continue to attack Israel. In the last week, Palestinians have used a roadside bomb to kill an Israeli officer patrolling the Gaza border, launched several mortar volleys into Israel and fired at least three rockets that caused no serious damage.
While Israeli leaders vowed to respond to even a single rocket attack with overpowering force, they have so-far launched limited air strikes aimed at low-level Gaza militants.
Middle East leaders are trying to cement a new deal before Israeli voters elect a new government on Feb. 10. Israeli polls show former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau and his hawkish Likud Party holding onto a strong lead over the ruling Kadima Party and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip said last week that they want to reach a deal on a new truce with Israel in the coming days.
On Saturday, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas postponed a trip to Europe and planned to meet Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Monday to discuss the negotiations.
Hamas agrees to outlines of truce, but disagrees on details
Israeli soldiers say they have OK to use tough tactics in Gaza
Groups say Israel failed to plan for the safety of Gaza civilians

Race to the top, anyone? U.S. bank regulators on Tuesday shrugged off concerns about creating an uneven playing field and approved a new rule imposing tighter strictures on big firms' use of borrowed money.
These will likely exceed what will take effect elsewhere, notably in Europe. But this doesn't have to be a liability for U.S. banks. Higher levels of capital allow banks to better withstand shocks. So while leverage constraints may damp returns on equity, they reduce the risk borne by shareholders and creditors. That can actually be positive for both share and debt prices.
In Europe, by contrast, high levels of leverage are one reason investors continue to doubt bank strength.
True, safety has a cost. Regulators estimate the eight largest U.S. banks combined will require around $22 billion in additional capital to meet the new, 5% leverage threshold at the bank-holding-company level. At banking subsidiaries, subject to a 6% hurdle, big banks will need a further $38 billion.
The tab may be higher thanks to a proposal that would count off-balance-sheet credit derivatives in measuring bank assets. That could hit hard at J.P. Morgan Chase, JPM +0.14% the biggest large-bank holder of these instruments.
Regulators estimate this change would require an additional $46 billion, bringing the capital shortfall to $68 billion across the eight big firms. At the bank subsidiaries, it would require an additional $57 billion—bringing the total to around $95 billion.
Meanwhile, commendably, regulators resisted calls to exempt cash held at central banks from the leverage-ratio calculation. While this argument had some merit, a chief virtue of a leverage rule is that it doesn't depend on judgments about the risks of different assets. Even a well-intentioned exemption could have been a first step on a very slippery slope.
Come the next period of financial turmoil, investors aren't likely to cry over the fact that U.S. banks have stronger balance sheets than competitors around the globe.

What happens to us after we die? People in every age wonder whether this present life is all there is. Some bury food and favorite items with their deceased, believing that they will need such things in the afterlife. Some hold that people are reincarnated in another life on earth. Christians place their hope in resurrected life, with Christ having already preceded us, then raising all who belong to him, as Paul assures the Corinthians in the second reading.
In subsequent verses of this same chapter, Paul speculates on what kind of body we will have at the resurrection. For Paul and other Jews of his day, there could be no existence without a body. Paul speaks of us having transformed, glorious, spiritual and imperishable bodies, bearing the image of the One who has preceded us in resurrected life.
Today's feast underscores the importance of bodiliness, declaring that Mary, "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory" (Pius XII, "Munificentissimus Deus," No. 44). For centuries Christians had considered that like other holy figures who had been taken up to heaven— Enoch, Moses and Elijah (Gn 5:24; Jude 9; 2 Kgs 2:1-12)—Mary also would have warranted special attention from God at her death. Many different legends grew up, but it was not until 1950 that Pope Pius XII declared infallibly that the Assumption of Mary was a dogma of the Catholic faith.
In today's Gospel there is an emphasis on the holiness of the body as a vehicle for the saving life God brings to birth. Both Elizabeth and Mary exemplify an incarnational spirituality, whereby God's action in this world is known through bodiliness. With the infant in her womb leaping for joy, Elizabeth is filled with the Spirit and she pronounces a blessing on Mary and on the child she carries in her body. Mary, in turn, proclaims God's greatness with her whole being (the Greek word psyche in verse 46, usually translated "soul," is not a separate part of the human, as opposed to the body, but rather refers to the whole self in all its vitality). Mary prophesies a new world in which there are no longer hungry or exploited bodies.
In a world in which the emperor claimed the titles "Lord," "Savior" and "Mighty One," Mary insists that it is God who saves lowly persons by a liberating power that undoes exploitative imperial systems. In a world in which people were enslaved for revolting against Rome or for debts from excessive taxes, Mary subverts systems of slavery by presenting herself as an empowered person who chooses to serve; she is not a person upon whom servitude is imposed. In a world where the majority struggled to have enough to eat, Mary sings of a time when all who are poor are filled with the good things of God.
In a time when sexual humiliation and exploitation of women were rampant, Mary dreams of God lifting up to dignity all the "lowly." (The Greek verb tapeinoo, translated as "lowly" in vv. 48 and 52, is used often in the Septuagint to refer to the sexual humiliation of a woman, as in the case of the rape of Dinah [Gn 34:2]; the abuse of the concubine of the Levite [Jgs 19:24; 20:5]; Amnon's rape of Tamar [2 Kgs 13:12-32]; and the ravishing of the wives in Zion and the maidens in the cities of Judah by the enemy [Lam 5:11].) In the world to come, incipient already in the present time and exemplified by Mary, transformation includes the whole embodied person.

Summit Up 12-11-12: Where we have the dress sense of Woody Allen
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that has the dress sense of Woody Allen and a slight Texas twang, which we suspect will slowly fade with time. In an inversion of the Battle of the Alamo, Texans have stormed our email boxes and, in one case, our front lobby, with howdy-dos and High Country advice to our new editor, who, although he is a native of the Lone Star State, has never owned cowboy boots, a cowboy hat or even America's Team attire. Though this might lead one to believe he would fit in just fine, a reader going by the name of Deep Tex gave him this tip: "Remove the Texas plates and purge burnt orange from your wardrobe. That will greatly reduce the frequency of the one-fingered salutes you receive." Deep Tex's statements have led us to believe there might be an underground society in our midst, a fraternal order populated exclusively with Texan expats. They look like us. They drive Subarus and wear fleece vests. They are among us, and they are legion. We think it's time for Texans to come out of the shadows and declare their heritage – within reason, of course. Remember the Alamo, sure, but let's not start an avalanche over it. OK, y'all?

Walsh and Ross clinch Fuzhou Open gold
It took the American pair just 33 minutes to win the gold medal of the first tournament on the 2014 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour and confirmed Walsh as the most successful women's athlete in World Tour history. The win was her 47th World Tour gold medal, one more than Brazil's Larissa França with Juliana on 45. Overall, Walsh has won 69 medals - 47 gold, 15 silver and seven bronze - from 90 events, equal with USA's Misty May Treanor but behind Juliana and Larissa (both 83 medals) and Brazilian legends Adriana Behar (86) and Shelda Bede (91).
Walsh is the third most successful World Tour athlete when also considering the men with Emanuel Rego (76 gold) and Ricardo Santos (55) one and two in the men's records ahead of another Brazilian Ze Marco de Melo (26).
In much better weather conditions than Saturday's men's final, Walsh and Ross gave Juliana and Antonelli a hard time in the first set of the Fuzhou Open final, displaying solid defence in the back row and at the net and pulling away in the middle of the set.
The Brazilians started well in the second set, jumping 4-1 ahead, before Walsh and Ross used an 8-2 run to take the lead. Brazil then called a timeout and returned to win three unanswered points to level at 9-9. The lead changed hands several times after that until 17-17 before Brazil saved a match point and then Walsh secured the set and the title with a brilliant block on Juliana.
"It's all we wanted. We're always excited to be on the top of the podium," said the 31-year-old Ross.
"All the best teams in the world came to this Open, because this is the first tournament of the season. It was a very, very tough tournament, a good indicator of how tough this season gonna be."
Ross, who took silver with Jennifer Kessy at the London Olympics, started to pair up with Walsh in September last year following Kessy's retirement. With the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro looming ahead, the two veteran players now aim to build a partnership, working hard amid high expectations.
"We're still growing as a team. I think we've made strides at this tournament. We just hope to get better and better," said Ross.
"April and I are a new team," 35-year-old Walsh said. "We have to improve a lot. We are excited to improve. This Tour is going to make us so strong because everyone is great. We're looking forward to the challenge and we want to win gold in Rio."
The final was a disappointing way for 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Juliana to finish her remarkable return to the World Tour. Having missed the 2013 season, Juliana returned in Fuzhou with new partner Antonelli. The pair had never previously played together on the FIVB circuit.
Juliana, who was playing in her 88th FIVB World Tour final four, now has 45 gold, 21 silver and 17 bronze medals.
Earlier in the morning, Walsh and Ross came from one set behind to beat local favorites Xue Chen and Xia Xinyi 2-1 (14-21, 21-15, 15-11) in the semifinals, while Juliana and Antonelli downed Maria Clara Salgado Rufino and Carolina Solberg Salgado (15-21, 21-13, 10-15) for their spot in the final.
Fuzhou native Xue and Xia overcame the disappointment of missing out a place in the final by edging Maria Clara and Carolina 2-0 (21-19, 21-18) in the bronze medal match
"We had prepared to play three sets, but we finished it in two sets," Xue said afterwards. "I think we played with a lot of patience today. We managed to hold our rhythm even when we were falling behind in the first set. That's key to our victory."
Xue, who started to pair up with Xia after her World Championship win in July last year, said she and Xia was very satisfied with their performance at the tournament.
"I think the competition over the past week is even more helpful than training two months, because you have to play under great pressure here, while in training you are usually less stressed," said Xue.
In addition to the Fuzhou Open, two other stops are scheduled in China in 2014 on the FIVB international schedule: the FIVB Shanghai Grand Slam (April 29 to May 4), which starts on Tuesday and the FIVB Xiamen Open (October 7 to 12). All three are double-gender events.

The Biella wool mill, which joined the Kiton family only a few months ago, boasts decades of experience in the art of weaving textiles.
The wool mill, founded in 1949 in a territory known for centuries for its textile vocation, is still today one
of the very few wool factories able to produce numbered fabrics. Ardent enthusiasm, in-depth knowledge of raw materials, experience in hand-crafted articles and a talent for manufacturing textiles passed down over the years
from father to son, are the distinctive traits that have led us to embrace this new world of fine fabrics production. Always in keeping with our philosophy of "better than better +1".
In the wool mill, the production cycle consists of warping – weaving, that is, the ensemble of processes that transform raw yarn into pieces of fabric. The raw material, consisting of twisting bobbins of yarn, is kept in an underground warehouse at a constant temperature of 18° and humidity level of 80%. These conditions confer on the wool technical characteristics that improve its workability. When ready, the yarn is taken from the warehouse and sent on through the successive stages of manufacturing.
The warping process begins, in which the yarn is unwound from the twisting bobbins and transferred onto the beam, the support that will then be placed in the weaving loom. The first step in warping consists of pairing two threads, which are then twisted around each other to make the yarn stronger and prepare it for weaving. On the warping machine, the odd threads are separated from the even threads, to sequence the threads correctly. The yarn thus assembled in a determined number of warping threads is transferred onto the beam.
Upon completion of the warping process, all of the steps necessary to prepare the weaving loom are carried out. The threads on the beam are inserted among
the combs and the reeds which must also be loaded on the loom. Specifically, each individual thread in inserted in a reed, in a loop of the heald and in a tooth of the comb.
The beam complete with combs and reeds is applied to the loom. With the loom, the warp thread (longitudinal thread) is woven into the weft thread (transverse thread), forming the pattern that has been chosen in designing the fabric. When the piece of raw fabric has been woven, it is discharged from the loom and sent on to quality control.
Quality control serves to identify defects that could impair the quality of the fabric. Any imperfections found are eliminated. The entire production cycle is carefully checked at every stage, from verifying the count, the strength
and the regularity of the yarn, to checking the yarn coming out of the loom and inspecting the pieces during the various finishing stages.Next come the finishing stages in which the still untreated fabric is washed and dried in various ways, depending on the final results required.

Furor over footage of police shooting
One day after prosecutors in the Central Valley cleared a police officer in the fatal shooting of a parolee, attorneys for the man's family released graphic camera footage showing the officer firing 11 bullets into the man, including several that hit him in the back as he rolled on the ground.
Police in Manteca (San Joaquin County) say the officer opened fire after seeing a knife in the man's hand as the suspect got out of a pickup truck, and that a knife was later found in the bed of the vehicle. The family's attorneys countered that the man had been unarmed and trying to surrender when he was shot.
The video was recorded by a camera in Manteca police Officer James Moody's patrol car June 8, 2011, as he ordered 34-year-old Ernesto Duenez Jr. from a pickup truck after it pulled up to the home of a friend.
Police had been staking out the house because Duenez was wanted in connection with a domestic-violence incident earlier in the day, authorities said.
The footage shows Duenez, a passenger in the truck, getting out of the back seat and then leaning back toward the cab. Attorneys for his family say his right foot became tangled in the seat belt and that he was trying to free himself.
'Drop the knife now!'
Moody yelled at Duenez to put his hands up. Before opening fire, the officer can be heard on the camera footage yelling, "Drop the knife now!" and, "Hands up! Hands up, Ernie! Don't you move, Ernie, don't you move or I'll shoot you!"
Moody, 40, who has been on the Manteca force for 12 years, told investigators that he had seen a knife in Duenez's right hand and believed the suspect might charge him or throw it at him.
Moody fired 13 bullets in 4.2 seconds, investigators wrote, striking Duenez 11 times, including four shots while Duenez was on the ground. At one point in the camera footage, an entry wound can clearly be seen appearing on Duenez's back as he rolls on the ground after being hit several times.
Police said an 8-inch "throwing knife" with a 4-inch blade was later found in the truck's bed. Video experts hired by the district attorney's office said it appeared Duenez initially had a knife in his hand, but that they lost sight of it and couldn't explain how it ended up in the truck bed.
Not 'aggressive'
John Burris, an Oakland attorney who filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Manteca and Moody in federal court in July, said that even if Duenez had been carrying a knife, "he made no aggressive movements toward the officer."
Burris said he has asked the U.S. Justice Department to open an investigation and seek murder charges against the officer.
"This is more barbaric than even the Oscar Grant shooting," Burris said, referring to the unarmed transit passenger whose fatal shooting on New Year's Day 2009 by a BART police officer was recorded by onlookers.
Burris obtained the video through the discovery process in his federal lawsuit. He released it at an Oakland news conference one day after the San Joaquin County district attorney's office concluded that Moody had been legally justified in shooting Duenez.
The prosecutor's report said Duenez was involved in a domestic disturbance earlier in the day with his wife, Whitney Duenez, and that witnesses had told police Duenez was carrying the throwing knife and was known to carry a gun. No gun was found at the shooting scene.
After the shooting began, Whitney Duenez emerged from the house, screaming, and bent over her mortally wounded husband.
According to the district attorney's report, Duenez was a gang member who had served three prison stints for convictions stemming from methamphetamine possession, reckless evasion of police in a stolen vehicle and assault with a deadly weapon.
Burris said Duenez had failed a drug test before the police stop and had known he was in violation of his parole.
Duenez's mother, Rosemary Duenez, 58, said at the news conference that she had decided to release the video after concluding that local authorities "would never deliver us justice."
"As heartbreaking as it is," she said, "people need to see what happened. They need to know what we see, and what we're fighting for."
Manteca Police Chief Nick Obligacion declined to comment on the shooting, citing the pending lawsuit. He said Moody has returned to active duty.

Latest News
Haunted by Iraq, a sergeant struggles
AHOSKIE, N.C. — Late at night, after the moon has settled into the swamps and cotton fields surrounding Army Sgt. 1st Class Chad Stephens' home, the soldier puts down his last drink.
He pulls himself off the sofa, leans over the television to snap quiet his latest war movie and lies in bed next to his wife of 12 years.
The dream never takes long to arrive. Stephens' platoon of Bradley fighting vehicles is somewhere in Iraq.
They are pinned down by the enemy - grenades coming at them, bullets dinging off metal. His troops holler into their radios, and Stephens, the platoon leader, feels the danger.
On this night in his dream, like every night, Stephens will keep a promise - to his soldiers and, in particular, to the mother of a blue-eyed gunner named Danny.
Nearly four years ago, in January 2004, the N.C. National Guard platoon sergeant stood in an Army classroom facing that mother and the families of the 40 men he was about to lead into war.
He stood 6-foot-4 and infantry-lean, and in the confident voice familiar to his men, he made a promise: I'll bring your sons home.He had wanted it to be true.
Even then, Stephens knew he was lying.
A new role
When Stephens' N.C. National Guard unit left for Iraq in February 2004 with the 30th Heavy Separate Combat Brigade, its warriors were among the first Guard units from the Tar Heel state to face combat since World War II. The part-time citizen soldiers left behind their full-time civilian jobs. They had typically trained just a few days a month and responded to natural disasters such as hurricanes and forest fires.
But with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, President Bush began to federalize National Guard troops, putting them in the same combat and support roles as their active-duty counterparts. Nearly 173,000 citizen-soldiers have served in the war.
Of those, 510 have died.
Countless fighters have come home with injuries, some immediately visible and others that only come to light over time.
The National Guard's 1st Battalion, 120th Infantry from North Carolina would prove itself within months of deploying to Iraq, in a battle that would become legend within the state Guard and be memorialized in a print that hangs in the Executive Mansion and on Capitol Hill.
Stephens, 40, would be anointed a hero, praised by the Pentagon and the media, earning one of the nation's highest honors for a day of valor that left him weeping under a desert night, his uniform soaked in another man's blood, his lessons about sacrifice and heroism only beginning.
In the years after his deployment to Iraq, Stephens would see how a single firefight would change his soldiers, change himself, fundamentally alter the life of one Jacksonville mother. He would come home from war to find he had become a different man, one seeking help from an Army that didn't know how to give it. He would try to fulfill a promise he had no right to make and shoulder the wounds of a platoon of haunted men and a single grieving woman.
Signs of his father
Growing up in tiny Como, in northeastern North Carolina, Stephens never understood his father's rages. The old man was a veteran of the Korean War who had lost soldiers in a famous battle, swilled beer with his buddies and sometimes cried when he drank.
Everyone thought he was mean.
But he always hoped one of his boys would make a career out of the military. Stephens, average in school and uninterested in college, figured it might as well be him.
Years later, back from Iraq, the country kid who wanted to make the military his life finds himself fighting an inner anger that surges out of nowhere but reminds him of the familiar rages of his father.He doesn't like crowds. Or stores. He skirts the tiny town of Ahoskie for fear of car bombs or improvised explosive devices.
At night, Stephens sits in the barn he built by hand and watches war movies, downing a dozen beers, one after another, sometimes chasing those with a half-pint of whiskey.
He thinks of his dad, who always told Stephens to take care of his men.
His cell phone rings and rings. One of his soldiers has lost his civilian job, or can't stand the nightmares, or is ready to kill himself.
Or it's Patty Desens, the mother of Spc. Daniel A. Desens Jr., the 20-year-old boy she called Danny.
She's drunk sometimes, thinking of Danny's goofy teasing, the family food fights, so much laughter in the past. She thinks of how she cradled his newborn body, chubby legs curled inward in memory of her womb, and the way she tried to touch every inch of that body again as it lay in a Jacksonville funeral home.
Hey, Sergeant Stephens, she says. How are you?
Tell me about Danny, she says. Tell me about the night he woke you in the barracks, drunk and singing.
Tell me about Iraq, she says.
Tell me about that day.
So again, for the third or the thirtieth or the hundredth time,
Stephens tells the story.
Battle in Baqubah
June 24, 2004. Baqubah, Iraq. Dawn.
A soldier burst into their tent on base, hollering. Stephens lay on his bunk and pretended to sleep. Then he heard this: Another platoon is drawing fire. An ambush.
Stephens jumped up, flooded the room with light. Up! he shouted.
Everybody up!
They scrambled, fled the base inside of 20 minutes, a line of five Bradley fighting vehicles rumbling toward town, Stephens second in line. A driver, a commander and a gunner were inside each. Six dismount soldiers sat inside the belly of each Bradley.
They found the enemy soon enough. Small-arms fire pinged the metal. Then came rocket-propelled grenades, tailed by streams of white smoke and smacking off the armor with such bone-jarring velocity that Stephens felt like he had lost hearing and brain matter.
Stephens reached up to his neck for his crucifix. Never take it off, his wife had said. But it was back at base, dangling from his bunk.
From the rear of the convoy, Capt. Christopher Cash, 36, a fitness trainer, husband and father of two from Winterville, N.C., realized enemy snipers were aiming for the open hatches on top of the Bradleys. Button up! Cash called over the radio. Close your hatches!
Then one bullet hit his head, and Cash slumped over, fatally wounded. His Bradley U-turned back toward base, another following as wingman. Now there were three.
Orders came from base. Go to the river. Secure the bridge.
Stephens, now in the middle, turned to his gunner: "This is a bad idea."
But they rumbled on.
Inside the last Bradley in line, the platoon's youngest lead gunner scored hits, peering at the enemy through a periscope, surrounded by switches and buttons to fire his rounds.
"Hell, yeah!" sang Desens.
Desens, 20, was the sun to a solar system of young men who, during Army training, spent their nights boozing and their days joking while they worked. He was easygoing and mischievous and one of Stephens' best men, good at his job and willing to work.
"Yeeeaoooow!" Desens shouted. More fighters fell.
The convoy motored around a traffic circle enclosed by six-story buildings. Insurgents aimed grenade launchers from the rooftops. The gunners returned automatic cannon fire with 25 mm rounds - foomph! - into the buildings.
Desens shot round after round, and his sergeant peeked into the periscope to check out the fight.
Then, BOOM!
Ear-splitting loud, recalled Sgt. Alan Payne, the commander sitting next to Desens.
Then quiet.
Desens grunted. "I'm going to die," he muttered.
A heroic effort
Up ahead, Stephens wondered what was up with the last Bradley in line. He called and called on the radio. No answer. He ordered his driver to stop, told the soldiers sitting inside to get out with their guns.
Stephens climbed out. He left behind his helmet, his flak vest and his gun.
Smoke streamed from the wounded Bradley some 50 yards away, nearly half the distance of a football field. The firefight raged on.Stephens ran. Bullets flew everywhere.
He banged on the back hatch of the smoking Bradley. The ramp lowered, and six bloodied guys tumbled out. "Dan's hurt!" someone yelled. "Dan's hurt bad!"
Stephens scrambled up top and, sprawled on his belly, peered inside the turret. There was Desens, his face still pressed to the gun sights. Stephens pushed the young soldier back and caught his breath.
The gunner's left leg lay shredded, open from his knee to his groin. His left hip was gone. Intestines spilled from his gut. His chest had holes in it.
A grenade had pierced a soft spot on the side of the Bradley, flown past startled soldiers below and banged into 25mm rounds of ammunition that exploded into Desens.
Desens turned his bright blue eyes up toward his sergeant.
"You're going to be OK!" Stephens shouted.
He turned to Payne. Help me get him out! Payne pushed, and Stephens pulled. Stephens lifted Desens out. Part of him remained behind.
Then came the frantic push to safety. They moved out, rumbling across the river and toward the nearest base.
The medic lay Desens inside Stephens' Bradley, stripped his clothes off, stuffed gauze where his pelvis used to be.
Then a second explosion set the Bradley on fire, knocking Stephens unconscious. Desens stopped breathing, then took shallow breaths after a medic's mouth-to-mouth, his eyes popping open at the mention of his best friend and a beer back home.
They passed Desens on to an ambulance. Then a helicopter. The swirling blades washed desert heat over the watching soldiers, and the medevac bird lifted into the air.
Minutes later, Desens' heart stopped.
The battle's toll
Six injured men were evacuated. Two, Desens and Cash, were dead.
They fought from noon June 24 to 3 a.m. the next morning. The Army launched drones to find insurgents. Then, in two operations, Stephens' platoon went out to kill them.
The soldiers returned at night. Someone lit a fire outside the barracks. Someone tossed in Desens' uniform.
They talked about Danny and how funny he was. Someone talked about Stephens, how he ran through the bullets.
Stephens sat quietly. Desens' dried blood coated his desert uniform. He stared at the flames, thinking.
The promise.
He was going to have to visit Danny's parents.
Tomorrow: "I've got some questions for you."

Lululemon seems to have held a great analyst day.
Yesterday Bank of America Merrill Lynch salivated over Lululemon's plan to expand into traditional apparel, swim and surf clothes. Today Jefferies equity analyst Taposh Bari jumps on the train:
The key takeaway, in our view, was a management team not feeling constrained by geography, gender, store count or product application. We also gained a better appreciation for the caliber of talent within the organization with many leaders coming from larger, more established companies.
Lululemon is a "brand without constraints" managed by "dreamers and doers."
Bari calls the Lululemon's expansion plans optimistic but notes its proven success in expanding to men's apparel, running and e-commerce.
