Apple Shuffles Revenue Out of U.S., Pays Only 1.9% in Taxes on Foreign Earnings

Apple does not count foreign tax savings in its reported profits
Whether you're voting for Romney or Obama tomorrow, neither candidate comes close to offering a tax rate sweet enough to
sate the appetite
of Apple, Inc. (
), the world's most profitable technology company, and
most valuable firm
in terms of present market capitalization.
In 2011, Apple
made a fortune on foreign earnings
, paying a lowly 2.5 percent on the $25B USD it earned outside the U.S. Financial documents
filed last week
indicate that the company's fiscal year, which concluded in September, saw an even bigger revenue boom outside the U.S.
Apple in calendar Q4 2011-Q3 2012 paid a
mere 1.9 percent
in foreign taxes, while ballooning foreign earnings to $36.8B USD. That's a pretty hefty sum considering Apple's full-year reported earnings were $41.7B USD on revenue of $156.5B USD.
Here's where things get a little confusing. The $41.7B USD is a post-tax figure that assumes Apple's effective U.S. tax rate extends to its foreign earnings. Apple is currently hoarding that cash overseas -- an estimated $82.6B USD, but it breaks from some in not reporting all of it as earnings.
It also has avoided spending the massive profits, gained by using tax shelters like the Cayman Islands, Ireland, and small European tax-haven nation states. It is estimated that Apple's decision not to include the tax-sheltered earnings in its bottom line cost it an extra $10.5B USD of profits (on paper, at least) over the last three years).
Apple paid less than 2 percent in taxes on its overseas earnings.

Apple's decision to not report the gains as profits is interesting, and perhaps a reflection that Apple believes that the U.S. government will eventually force technology companies to "pay up" amid growing scrutiny of corporate tax sheltering practices.
Apple, which almost exclusively manufacturers its products in China, is not alone in its smart-sourcing of profits to tax shelters and manufacturing to cheap Asian labor sources. Google Inc. (
), Apple's perennial smartphone foe has engaged in similar practices, although not to such a massive extent.
The on-paper general corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 35-percent, however, that figure is misleading as the complex U.S. tax code typically leaves a wealth of loopholes available for big businesses to lower their rates. With loopholes considered, the average for Fortune500 tech companies is around 16 percent [
Apple does indirectly contribute a great deal to the U.S. economy, directly and indirectly
creating 304,000 U.S. jobs
, plus an additional 210,000 U.S. iOS developer jobs.

Group: Forces of Nature
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: The Manneporte (Etretat)
Date Made: 1883
Lender: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Credit Line: Bequest of William Church Osborn, 1951
Monet's works from the 1880s are painted in a more dynamic manner than his earlier works.
The bold calligraphy of Japanese ink paintings of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries embodies the latent forces within rocks, cliffs and water, as do Monet's long linear brushstrokes in his paintings of similar subjects on the French coast. In contrast to the monochrome line and wash of ink painting, Monet's lines are coloured, thick and pastey, and adhere together to form a dense, mobile surface. The rearing cliff in The Manneporte (Etretat) is built up from broad patches of colour covered with line after line of saturated ochres, rusty reds, zigzags and glazes of blue-violet or blue-green. The nature of the brushmarks suggests that they were painted rapidly; they not only embody the dynamic, upward thrust of the motif, but also enact the dynamism of the creative act. Such calligraphy suggests a direct expressive relationship between the marks of the brush and the structure of the motif, the strata and lines of force in cliff face and rock arch, and the weathering by water and wind.
Courbet and many others had painted this motif, but none expressed the sense of the dramatic thrust of the rock from the churning sea. Monet's composition relates directly to Hiroshige's The entrance to the cave at Enoshima Island in Sagami Province. In these works the rock arch is cut by the frame, and seems both to plunge into the sea and to thrust upwards, while water surges around the base of the arch and isolated rocks. Both works contain minute figures that indicate the mighty scale of the arch. Even if Monet had thought of the print as a translation of a brush painting, his dynamic linear brushstrokes probably owed more to Japanese painting itself.

It's not fair that kids have all the summer fun. It's not that we begrudge them the running and squealing and yelling "Help!" when they aren't in trouble. We don't. We look at them and say, "I can remember what that felt likeâ¦"
So if you're under 10 years old, go tell your mama she wants you, because this is just for more "experienced" people.
Pssst⦠It's June. It's hot. It's â¦. sprinkler time.
Oh yes. Since we're over 10, we'll wear bathing suits ⦠probably, and we more than likely won't want a crowd around, either. But why should just children get to run through the sprinkler? Even if we have to ⦠well, hobble through the sprinkler.
The whole idea is to feel once more those diamond drops of cooling paradise caressing our legs and tummies and chests. To feel the cool of the water as it hits us and tells us we're not too old to have fun.
When we were small we ran through whatever kind of sprinkler our parents furnished us. But now we're the ones in charge. Now we can pick and choose the right one.
The venerable Rain Bird? Nope. It irrigates beautifully, but stings legs as it goes chuâ¦.chuâ¦.chuâ¦.chuâ¦.chu-chu-chu-chu back to home base again. What we need is something soft and soothing, and the old-fashioned one-piece flower-blossom sprinkler that sits there quietly and radiates is just the ticket.
Now there is always the chance of offspring witnessing this and applying to the state for full custody of your pickup and their choice of rest home if you're caught. So here's the plan.
Do this at night. After all, we're old enough to be out after dark now, right? And our lawns absorb more water after dark anyway. And should a grandkid or two catch us and ask why we're wearing a bathing suit?
"There's always the remote chance," you tell them, "with these primitive water-distribution devices, to end up with wet clothing. This is simply my way of saving on a potential cleaning bill."
Hey, it might work.â¦

Samsung Sets Profit Record, but Growth, Margins Suffer Slightly
Jason Mick
January 25, 2013 11:56 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Samsung is still the only phonemaker to approach Apple in terms of profitability
Apple, Inc. (
) set perhaps too high a bar with years of gaudy growth, new products and record products. Now, even as it
earns an epic $13.1B USD
, it saw shares hammered as a result of shrinking margins and questions of legacy.
For Apple's arch-rival Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
), which just posted its earnings last night, the story was a bit of the same. Samsung
a record profit
of $6.54B USD (7.04T won), or almost precisely half of the profit Apple made for the quarter. That profit marks a rise of 76 percent from a year ago, and narrowly bests
analyst predictions
of $6.39B USD (6.87T won).
It mustered record profitability, despite some bad news. Margins "fell to 17.4% in the fourth quarter, down from the 18.8% marked in the previous quarter". Additionally, Samsung saw cell-phone sales grow 58 percent, which might seem impressive were that not a fall from last year's eye-popping 82 percent growth.
Samsung raked in $51.12B USD (56.06T won) in total revenue, up 18 percent from a year before. Revenue was roughly in line with the analyst prediction of 56.22T won. The profit-driving telecom business accounted for 62 percent of the company's operating profit.
Samsung moved an estimated 60 million smartphones and set a profit record in Q4 2012.
[Image Source: Funny Tweek]
Analysts estimate that Samsung moved around 60 million smartphones worldwide for the quarter, up from
36.5 million smartphones
a year ago. The surge comes thanks to strong continued growth of the Galaxy brand of smartphones and mini-tablets. Samsung maintained a narrow lead over Apple in sales (Apple moved 47.8m iPhones), despite the strong relief of pent-up demand brought by the release of the iPhone 5.
The most troubling news for Samsung was how a strengthening South Korean won might hurt Samsung's profitability in 2013. Samsung estimates that up to 3T won ($2.79B USD) could be trimmed of its profits in 2013. Exactly how much that hurts Samsung depends a lot on how much it continues to grow.
A strengthening won is bad news for Samsung. [Image Source:
SeongJoon Cho/Bloomberg]
Shares fell to a two-month low on news of the dipping margins and currency issues. But ultimately, traders may be spooked not only by these numbers, but also by the performance of Samsung's archrival Apple. Comments Standard Chartered Plc analyst Sean Kim
, "The stronger won will obviously have a negative impact on profit, but that isn't Samsung's only concern. Apple's unimpressive earnings also indicate that the overall market situation is becoming more difficult."
In short, investors fear a weakening phone market and as a results are scrutinizing the market's top players (Samsung and Apple) more carefully. Interestingly, the most positivity
appears to be channeled towards Nokia
Oyj. (
) who achieved profitability after 6 quarters of losses. While Nokia moved only 4.4m Windows Phones -- or about 1/14th of Samsung's unit sales -- the small, lean company is attracting attention in the troubled market.
Still, it might be unwise to overlook Samsung. The company has a very diverse business base, and finds ways to achieve profitability even in the most adverse of circumstances. For example, in Q4 its semiconductor division leveraged higher prices on component DRAM for smartphones and servers to offset weak pricing on the PC front due to overproduction.

Melted Nuclear Fuel From Reactors No. 1, 2, 3 Seems Leaking Out From Under Reactor Buildings (Mainichi)
– Gov't aims for 'cold shutdown' of Fukushima reactors, but bemoans lack of data (Mainichi Japan, Nov. 14, 2011):
At the No. 1, 2 and 3 reactors, melted nuclear fuel seems to be penetrating the pressure vessels and even leaking out from the reactor buildings.
At the No. 4 reactor, which has no nuclear fuel in the reactor itself, about 1,535 fuel rods — about three times the number of fuel rods at the No. 1, 2, and 3 reactors — are kept in the spent nuclear fuel pool. For this reason, TEPCO completed the work to sustain the fuel pool with steel frames in late July.

This Article is an excerpt from a World Bank-sponsored Report, prepared in December 2006, to the Russian Federal Service on the Securities Market. We discuss the liability under company law of directors, senior company officials, and controlling shareholders of public companies in Canada, France, Germany, Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (with a more limited look at Austria, the European Union, Italy, Japan, and Latvia), and recommend amendments to Russian Company Law. We propose measures to define the concepts of good faith and conflict of interest; establish duties of disclosure and confidentiality, extend duties under company law to controlling shareholders and de facto directors for conflict of interest transactions; and protect directors against liability for business decisions adopted without a conflict of interest. It includes an Introduction by Prof. Black which provides an overview of Russia's progress in creating a modern company law.

Great for skinny legs & feet
"I bought these for my 6 year old godson. He is long and skinny so new shoes are typically flopping off of his heels, I wouldn't say that these shoes run narrow but they fit him perfectly.. We are able to lace them tight enough to stay on his skinny little heels. Also, I think that the rubber toe will make these shoes last him a lot longer than some other pairs."

If there's one thing that Eldorado head coach Josh Bradley appreciates, it's hard work. Especially when that hard work was put in months in advance.
Erica Graczyk worked hard in the summer to build upper body strength. It proved to be beneficial as she went up against Carmi-White County's 5-foot-9 forward Emma Bachman Tuesday night in the Harrisburg Invitational at Davenport Gymnasium.
Graczyk, Eldorado's 5-10 forward muscled her way for 10 points in the Eagles' 38-32 win over the Bulldogs.
Eldorado (2-1) found themselves down by one point at halftime, falling into the slow pace that CWC dictated. Bradley said that despite discussing things ahead of time, he made necessary adjustments at halftime that allowed them to take control of the game.
"Carmi just plays a slow pace," Bradley said. "As an offensive team, you fall into that trap and it makes it uncomfortable at time when you want to get up and down the floor like we do, but in the third quarter we were running our breaks, getting some easy shots in transition and got the tempo up."
Eldorado was able to hang on to its composure in the closing minutes, despite a full court trap employed by CWC.
The Eagles put the ball in the hands of sophomore guard Taylor Goodley, who took full advantage of her opportunities at the free throw line as she finished six-for-six from the line and had a team-high 12 points for Eldorado.
"When (Carmi) put the press on, Taylor went and got the ball and I was really proud of the way Erica played tonight down low. I know how hard she worked in the offseason and it's just nice to see it show in a game like this."
Ashton Unthank added eight points for Eldorado, while Paige Zertuche scored six points on two three-pointers and Cassidy Morris finished with two points.
Eldorado will play Anna-Jonesboro Friday at 6 p.m., while the host team Harrisburg takes on West Frankfort at 7:30 p.m.

The Thunderbirds breezed to 25-16, 25-22 victories in the first two sets, hitting .368 with 27 kills on 57 attempts and only six errors. Southern Utah carried the momentum into the third set, leading throughout most of the frame until the Wildcats came back to tie it at 21-21 and then take the lead 23-21 as part of a three-point run. SUU fought off a Weber set points at 24-23, 25-24, 26-25 and 27-26 and then captured their own match point at 28-27. However, WSU came back to close out the set, 30-28, with three consecutive points.
Southern Utah fought off two more Weber State set points in the fourth set at 24-22 and 24-23 behind a pair of kills by Kylie Schofield. The senior then gave the Thunderbirds match point at 25-24 on a third consecutive kill. The Wildcats weathered the storm and then used a three-point run to erase a second match point for SUU at 26-25 to take a 28-26 victory and tie the match at 2-2.
Weber State was all but out of the match in the fifth set, hitting -.088 with 12 errors on 34 swings and nine kills. However, nine Southern Utah errors kept the Wildcats in the match and ultimately led to the home side taking the 19-17 victory in the fifth. The Thunderbirds had their chances to close out the contest with match points at 15-14, 16-15 and 17-16, but Weber State fought back on each occasion to seal the victory.
Schofield finished the night with a match-high 17 kills, equalling Weber State's Audrey Biggs output of 17 kills. Schofield was joined in double dights by Ann Clappier (11 kills), Taylor Heine (10 kills) and Alissa Youart (10), marking the first time this season that four Thunderbirds had logged double-digit kill numbers in the same match. Lusia Angilau was one shy of a double-digit night, logging nine kills and was second to Heine in hitting efficiency, notching a .421 (9-1-19) hitting percentage to Heine's .533 (10-2-15). Youart tallied her third double-double of the season with 10 digs, finishing second to Sariah Pelaez' 20-dig performance. Pelaez also led the T-Birds behind the service line with three service aces.
Southern Utah will wrap up its three-match road trip on Monday night when the Thunderbirds face Utah Valley University in Orem. The contest is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. with live stats available online at www.suutbirds.com.

Motorists using the western-most section of the Mass Turnpike may soon have to pay tolls again. Under a tax bill debated Wednesday by the House and Senate, use of the roadway between Springfield and the New York state line would no longer be free.
The compromise bill is intended to fund transportation projects across the Commonwealth. It directs the Department of Transportation to develop a plan to restore tolls to the Mass Turnpike from Exit 1 in West Stockbridge to Exit 6 in Springfield. This section of the interstate has been without a fee since 1996. State Representative William "Smitty" Pignatelli of Lenox represents the region that includes Exits 1 and 2 in the Berkshires. Pignatelli says restoring tolls is one way to generate funds for a backlog of transportation projects.
"We're talking to the tune of 20 to 25 billion-dollars in a backlog, so I think every city and town has a roadway or a bridge that is underfunded or in deplorable shape and there's not enough money coming back."
State officials estimate the new tolls will generate more than 10-million-dollars annually in new revenue. Pignatelli says he would like to see the money used specifically for projects in Western Massachusetts.
"Those of us in western Massachusetts, from Springfield to the Berkshires, we can try to solve a lot of our own infrastructure problems if we were able to retain the revenues that get generated in our catchment area, so I hope it's certainly part of the discussion."
The bill also requires the Patrick Administration to study the possibility of establishing interstate tolls along the Commonwealth's borders. The measure raises taxes on gasoline and cigarettes.

Doing Business in Yorkshire
Our website is a list of who is doing business in Yorkshire and who the top movers and shakers actually are. Many of these men and women are on the Board of many well known Yorkshire businesses and help make our county one of the investment choices of overseas and domestic investment.
We have gathered together information about a number of different aspects of starting and running your business under the headings that are shown below (such as "starting a new business"). Within each topic heading the information has been further sorted into relevant sub-topics (such as "ideas, innovation and patents").
Simply click on one of the topic headings to see and select whichever sub-topic most closely matches the information that you're looking for.
Please don't forget that we also provide information for particular types of business that you might find useful.
We have collected a number of guidance notes on regulations together by topic as an introductory guide to regulations affecting small businesses. Some Departments have also produced FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) which we have included where relevant.
Comprehensive guidance and forms produced by all UK Government Departments on regulations and taxation can be found on our Direct Access Government service.. The site also contains a comprehensive database of all government consultation documents and draft guidance which affect business.
Yorkshire Small Business Start-Up Service.
You might also like to try a pilot facility we are in the process of developing - it is called the Small Business Start-Up Service. This is designed to give you an understanding of the regulations that are involved in setting up a business but which is 'customised' to your own particular circumstances.
The SBS has issued guidance to departments on an implementation period for new legislation. This sets out a general requirement (with a few necessary exceptions) that guidance on new legislation likely to impact on business should be issued at least 12 weeks before the legislation comes into force. These procedures take effect from 1 January 2016.
Information about local trading standards
Information about local trading standards and regulations is available from your local authority. Those local authorities that have websites are listed on the Open Government website, which is maintained by the CCTA. Information is also available on the websites maintained by Local Authorities Co-ordinating Body on Food and Trading Standards (LACOTS) and the relevant professional body, the ITSA. The latter includes a number of Guidance Leaflets on topics such as "Information for butchers" and "Selling safe second-hand electrical goods".
Seeing things from your customers' point of view, the DTI has created the Consumer Gateway website. This provides information and advice for consumers and links to similar websites produced by other Government Departments, consumer organisations and others.

Huh I'm the opposite, the first episode was merely ok for me but the second one had me cracking up consistently. It really felt exactly how the manga should be portrayed in anime form.
Hilda's interaction with Oga's family was particularly entertaining what with everybody having no problems believing Oga was Baby Beel's dad due to the resemblance. I'm liking how it's being adapted that's for sure.

I live in East Harlem and love it. I check this site practically every day and usually several times a day. I rarely post, but I plan on contributing more often. I work at Union Square for a natural and organic grocery store. I live for Jets football and Yankees baseball. I'm very politically interested and involved on the grass roots level. I love to party in the LES and relax at home on the X-Box 360 or surfing the web. I've lived all over the country and have seen many parts of the world due to my four years in the Navy. I'm a bit of a beer nerd and plan on getting into home brewing. That's all that I can think of for now...

Founded in 1925, Chrysler has always been at the forefront of style and design. They were the first American auto manufacturer to design with aerodynamics in mind. They're responsible for the creation of the V8 Hemi engine, and have spent a fair amount of time as the number two automaker (behind Chevy) through the 40s and 50s.
Chrysler has never been afraid of innovation, being the first to introduce unibody construction and being responsible for introducing the K-car. Innovation and creativity comes at a cost, and some of Chrysler's designs and business decisions have taken their toll on the company.
In recent years Chrysler has had something of a resurgence. After merging with Daimler-Benz (to become Daimler-Chrysler), the auto maker began to produce the Chrysler 300, stepping forward into the world of reliable, affordable luxury sedans bolstered by the Mercedes Benz platform.
After declaring bankruptcy and reorganizing their line, Chrysler now offers a limited line-up of vehicles. Leading the way is the Chrysler Town and Country and the 300 sedan. The Town and Country has been leading the charge of mini-vans since its inception. Making strides in the sedan category, Chrysler offers a couple of options for potential buyers. Going forward, Chrysler appears to be focusing on a limited line of vehicles with high style, class, and reliability. The future looks bright.

The early-morning theft of thousands of dollars worth of meat has the Hickory House pursuing the person responsible.
Mark Bergman, general manager of the Hickory House, a popular barbecue eatery on South Parker Road, is offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to charges against the perpetrator. The theft occurred around 1:35 a.m. Sept. 17 and the suspect was caught on surveillance video, but no arrests have been made. The restaurant is distributing posters in the hopes that the public can provide more information.
"We want to let everyone know we're not going to stand for it," Bergman said.
There were no signs of forced entry, meaning either a door was left unlocked or the burglar had a key. Although Bergman is hesitant to speculate, he said the meat theft could have been an "inside job" involving an employee or cleaning crew, or a customer.
"Everything is fishy about it," he said.
The burglary highlighted security weaknesses that Bergman is already taking care of, including changing the locks and installing better surveillance cameras.
Anyone with information should call the restaurant at 303-805-9742 or the Parker Police Department at 303-841-9800.

Village refiles legal documents with county
Brown Deer - The Brown Deer Village Board on Monday approved proposed changes to a set of legal documents associated with a proposed streetscaping project in the Original Village area.
Late in 2010, the village filed a relocation order with the Milwaukee County clerk. The order is related to a clarification of the right of way for businesses within the Original Village. The village's order is in the process of working its way through the Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
The county clerk's office claims it never received the original relocation order. Since its attempted filing two years ago, there have been several engineering modifications, and the revised documents are being resent to the clerk's office.
Officials break ground for Riverwalk continuation
Mequon - Officials broke ground Friday to mark the completion of the third phase of the Rotary Riverwalk.
Phase three focused on the north and south legs of the Mequon civic campus, continuing the Riverwalk vision along the Milwaukee River of approximately 1.5 miles from Village Park in Thiensville to the northeast corner of Mequon and Cedarburg Roads.
Fifty percent of the phase three project funding came from a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources grant, with the remaining $180,000 coming from individual and corporate donations gathered by the Rotary Club of Thiensville-Mequon and the Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary.
Brown Deer applying for urban forestry grant
Brown Deer - The village is applying for an urban forestry grant with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
If approved, the grant will fund half the cost of an investigative survey that entails chemical treatments, removal and replacement of infected ash trees and public education initiatives about the emerald ash borer.
The survey carries a projected $50,000 price tag, meaning Brown Deer and the DNR each would fund $25,000 if the grant is awarded.
The village's share has been included in the 2013 budget.
Changes to certified survey map could lead to car dealership
Glendale - The Glendale Plan Commission on Tuesday approved changing parcel boundaries on the city's certified survey map to allow for JAMA Corp. to combine two properties that may be turned into a car dealership.
The Common Council is slated to make the final approval at its next meeting.
JAMA Corp. is trying to purchase 103 feet of a property at 5855 N. Glen Park Road to be combined with 2.2 acres the company owns at 5858 and 5866 N. Green Bay Ave. According to a letter from JAMA Corp. President John Amato, the intention is to develop those three acres into a new automobile dealership.

Plan Commission approves warehouse expansion
Glendale - The Glendale Plan Commission approved plans for Optimum Vehicle Logistics to expand its warehouse at 6110 N. Flint Drive by 6,100 square feet.
Though the commission approved the expansion, they directed the project architect to change the type of material proposed for the outside of the building. The proposed material was metal; however, the Plan Commission asked that the applicant use a masonry material that would match the existing structure, City Administrator Richard Maslowski said.
It is up to the applicant to rectify the architectural elements in the proposal before moving forward.
Residents dismayed over omission in magazine
Brown Deer - Several residents raised concerns about the Our Brown Deer magazine at a Village Board meeting Monday.
The concerns, shared with the board during the persons desiring to be heard portion of the meeting, included the absence of a column by Village President Carol Krueger and a lack of any contact information for elected school or municipal officials.
"As the highest elected public official in our community, Krueger should have a column in each edition of this magazine," resident Mike Christopulos said. "There are some very interesting things happening in our village. (He) should have the opportunity to address these issues."
Since the magazine was not on the agenda, the board could not address the residents' concerns.
St. Robert commemorates its namesake in bronze

Bishop Emeritus Richard J. Sklba blessed the statue at a special mass Saturday.

Giving Tree benefits Milwaukee County Zoo animals
Charitable zoo-goers can make the holidays a little brighter for animals this season.
The Giving Tree is in the U.S. Bank Gathering Place at the Milwaukee County Zoo, complete with ornaments handmade by volunteers. On each ornament is the name of an animal, an "enrichment item" it could use, and the cost and suggestion for where the item may be purchased. The zoo is also accepting monetary donations.
Last year, the Giving Tree raised $2,684 in supplies and donations, according to a zoo news release. The tree will be on display through New Year's Day.
New pizza shop to open in Shorewood
Shorewood - The village will be getting its third new pizza shop in recent months, following action last week by the Plan Commission.
Applicant Carmelo Fazzari came before commissioners and sought approval to open his business at the site of the former Brit Inn, 4475 N. Oakland Ave. Fazzari's plan of operation includes a carryout service and delivery.
Fazzari said he anticipates naming his business the Al Calderone Club. His father, who died in September, operated a similar business on Milwaukee's east side under the same name.
Fazzari said he anticipates opening the new pizza shop in mid-January. Permitted hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily.
Shorewood commissioners OK tweaks to gas station
Shorewood - After tabling the request last month, members of the Shorewood Plan Commission last week voted in favor of a request from applicant Atiq-U-Rehman to operate a gas station and convenience store at 4000 N. Wilson Drive.
While a gas station had previously operated on the site, Rehman has proposed changes, including conversion of existing service bays into a full-fledged convenience store.

You enter the dizzying space called the shopping center.
You gather as many goods as your budget (if you keep one) will allow
(making a list, checking it twice).
You (considering yourself nice rather than naughty)
celebrate your excursion
and delight in your new, shiny stuff.
What is wrong with this picture?
Come join me (and other fellow consumers)
on Thursday, October 24th, in Kreider Hall
from 12:20-1:30 pm
to take a look at how our stuff may be impacting us more than we realize.

This quilt pattern is different from the previous snail's trail quilt I made. This quilt pattern can be found here.
This quilt is for a friend. I picked out the colors with "I like earth colors" in mind. So in my mind the browns are obviously for the earth. The green for the grasses and trees of the earth. The blues for the rivers, lakes, and oceans. The reds/pink for the sunrises and sunsets.
I debated with myself on which layout I liked best. Each block is 5 in square (finished, 5.5 in with seam allowances).
Here is the finished quilt. It is 40 in X 50 in. Each of the arc pieces are machine pieced and then hand appliqued to a square. The squares were then machine pieced. The machine quilting is overlapping circles in a variegated brown.
Here is a closer shot. I mailed the quilt earlier this week.

Virgin Blue Says âLetâs Do Itâ And Signs Up For The Muit23/10/2003
(Official signing and press conference with Premier Rann, Adelaide Airport and Virgin Blue at Virgin Blue check-in Adelaide Airport today at 10.00am)
Virgin Blue Airlines will today officially sign on the dotted line to be part of Adelaide Airport's proposed new terminal (formerly known as the MUIT) following months of negotiations.
The low fare airline has reached mutually agreeable terms with Adelaide Airport Limited that ensures Virgin Blue Guests will have access to a fantastic facility without compromising the carrier's low fare model.
The airline has stayed true to its low fare commitment, despite moving into new terminal facilities in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.
Virgin Blue Head of Ground Services, Diederik Pen, said, "We have been described by some as fairly hard nosed negotiators. There may be a bit of truth to that, but it helps us ensure that we can continue to remain efficient and keep offering the lowest fares possible which is good for both tourism and business."
The people of Adelaide recognise it was Virgin Blue who brought low fares to town but they also recognise the fact that Virgin Blue offers convenient schedules for both busy business travellers and laidback leisure travellers.
Diederik Pen continued, "There is no doubt the new terminal is going to be a huge boost to Adelaide, providing travellers with one of the most modern and efficient terminal facilities in the country.
"Less than three years ago we launched one flight a day between Adelaide and Brisbane using a marquee by the side of the runway as our terminal.
"Our Guests loved our low airfares then and we are confident they will love them even more when they have a comfortable new terminal to fly in and out of, especially considering they now have the choice of 18 Virgin Blue flights a day to seven destinations across Australia."
The multi-million dollar project will house both the domestic and international terminals and will have a range of features including:
Aerobridge access to aircraft for use in wet weather
Increased number of gates to cater for future growth
A wide selection of retail shops and café's
A convenient integrated terminal for those with connections between International and Domestic destinations encouraging the arrival of Pacific Blue to Adelaide in the future
The new terminal will also feature a Virgin Blue "Blue Room", providing Guests with an innovative and out-of-the-box corporate lounge facility where they can plug in or tune out.
"The world class terminal will give us room to grow literally, allowing both Virgin Blue and Pacific Blue future opportunities in terms of new flights and destinations for Adelaide." Diederik Pen finished.
Work is scheduled to begin in December and is expected to be finished in October 2005.

Teachers are surprised with big checks for their "Bright Ideas"
MOREHEAD CITY, CRAVEN COUNTY - 36 local teachers are getting a big surprise this week. Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative is handing out more than $20,000 to help make special lesson plans possible as part of their "Bright Ideas" grant program.
The program has been helping local educators for almost 20 years. Teachers are awarded anywhere from $50 to $1000 to help bring a special project to life. Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative Director of Community Relations Bill Ward says some of the ideas they've received over the years are incredibly creative.
"We had a grant one year it was called 'King Cluck' where they actually learned how to embalm chickens like the Egyptians did. We had "Boots for Beaches" where a biology teacher bought clamming boots so her class could go out in the salt marsh year round," says Ward.
Ward says judges typically look to fund programs that will last more than one year. This year, out of about 60 applicants, 36 are being awarded. Ward presents the checks to local teachers. He says they always try to make it a surprise at school.
This year "Bright Ideas"grants were awarded for robot programs, creative counting, and a reading program that helps raise books for tornado victims in Moore, Oklahoma

One of my favorite times of the year is here. No, not football mini camps. The NFL is in a lockout, duh. Saturday is Opening Day for the Hertel North Park Youth Baseball League. New pants and cleats have been purchased. The kids get their new uniform tops later this week. They're excited. I'm excited that they're excited. Don't try telling the Parker house kids don't play baseball anymore.
I'll admit to not being all that sure how frequently you still hear that kids don't play baseball. I'm not sure because I stopped listening to it years ago. Shoshone Park will have games on 7 diamonds from 10 am to dark on Saturdays from now until August, plus games on most of the 7 fields every weeknight that it's not pouring down rain and lightning. That's a lot of baseball being played.
Sure it's not for everyone. Parents who don't love baseball may think their kids will be bored by the game because they themselves find it boring. Fair enough. It can be tedious watching a bunch of 6 yr olds who can barely catch try to play a game while parents and coaches scream what base they should throw the ball to.
I love every bit of it. The look on the face of the kid who gets his first hit. That same kids Dad trying hard not to look too proud. The one or two kids on each team who just move like ballplayers. Getting to know the parents and coaches.
The coaches. Man, did we win the little league lottery with the crew we've got coaching my 7 yr-old son's team. A father and his three teenage boys took over the rookie Cardinals last season and are back for more. Their practices are the most organized youth sports practices I have ever seen. Different work stations so the kids are broken up into small groups which means less down time. The young coaches have a great touch with the kids and have transformed my son Leo from a kid who I'm pretty sure was in this for the freezie pops to someone who is first in the car in full uniform. And that's just for practice.
And those are just our guys. So many people give so much of their time to make a league work. The guys running the concession stand and getting the fields ready. They love baseball and so do I. But I can't put that time in. They find a way.
So maybe as many kids aren't playing little league in 2011 as were playing in 1981. The game is to slow. Soccer is over in an hour. Baseball, who knows? Look man, my kids watch too much TV and play more video games than they probably should just like yours. But they really like baseball. Believe me, they wouldn't still be playing if they didn't.
And I love that they like it so much.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT | March 2013
Dear Friends,
You may have seen in the news the UTSA Institute for Economic Development issued a new study showing that development in 2012 in the Eagle Ford Shale region added more than $61 billion in economic impact across a 20-county region in Central and South Texas, supporting 116,000 jobs.
The study is the fifth examining the Eagle Ford over the last year alone, making UTSA the leading source of information about the growth and impact of this South Texas phenomenon.
This research underscores the essential role of higher education in public service and economic development. Many people look to UTSA for expertise, and we realize that what we do makes our community and state a better place.
Across the university, work is taking place in our centers and institutes that advances the public good. We are supporting new entrepreneurs and collaborating with local and state organizations to develop new businesses that promote clean technology and a thriving economy. Other research and community outreach programs are transforming the energy future of the city, state and nation and creating sustainable communities.
We are conducting infectious disease research to develop new and effective vaccines to promote public health. UTSA laboratories are researching memory and aging, which affect learning for children, younger adults and the elderly. We are training students and governments at the local and national levels in online security capability and collaboration. And, UTSA is fostering policy discussions that positively impact children, teens, immigrants and first-generation college students.
These are just a few examples of the ways UTSA connects to the community by helping to prepare students for the workforce, create jobs and foster business development. A key indicator of a Tier One university is its contribution to society. The centers and institutes at UTSA are taking leading roles in economic development, public policy, biomedicine and community dialog. This work shows UTSA's commitment to our city and to becoming a top-tier research institution. Thanks for all you do to help us get there.
Go Roadrunners!
"Across the university, work is taking place in our centers and institutes that advances the public good."
