rotoworld.comMike Wallace - WR - Steelers
GM Kevin Colbert said Wednesday it's "very doubtful" the Steelers use the franchise tag.
"I don't think we have too many franchise players," Colbert said bluntly. "We're not married to anybody." It's the strongest indication yet the Steelers plan to let Mike Wallace hit the open market, where he'd almost certainly receive an offer Pittsburgh couldn't match. Despite a down 2012, the 26-year-old Wallace figures to be the most sought after free agent wideout.
Part of the converstion about free agency on this site has involved Mike Wallace. And that conversation has assumed that Wallace will actually be available despite the fact the Pittsburgh Steelers can use the franchise tag on him or re-sign him between now and the March 12 opening of free agency.
Well, today there is some clarity on that assumption straight from the horse's mouth.
Pittsburgh general manager Kevin Colbert met with the local media today and cleared up several questions. He said it was "very doubtful" the club would use the franchise tag on anyone.
So there's that.
And he made the point that the Steelers are not worried about their free agents going out into the market to test the free agency waters.
"We won't know what an individual player costs until he gets out there," Colbert said.
That means Wallace will be on the market in all probability.
Colbert also made the point that the Steelers "are not married" to any player. Actually, he piggybacked on that by adding that Pittsburgh must change the roster from the one that got them to 8-8 because to be different you have to, well, be different.
Change is coming to the Steelers. It looks as if Wallace might be part of that change.

Foothill College is preparing for its upcoming accreditation in 2017.
Foothill College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC), Western Association of Schools and Colleges. This organization is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the U.S. Department of Education.
Foothill College's accreditation was reaffirmed by the ACCJC in January of 2012 following the completion of a comprehensive self study in August of 2011 and site evaluation team visit in October 2011.
In January 2013, the ACCJC reviewed Foothill College's Follow-Up Report, which addressed four recommendations made by the site evaluation team in 2011. In February 2013 the ACCJC wrote to Foothill College and stated that all recommendations had been addressed and any associated deficiencies resolved. Foothill College submitted a Mid-Term Report to ACCJC in Fall of 2014.
The college maintains its accreditation by fulfilling criteria that are determined by the ACCJC. Throughout its continuous six-year review cycle, Foothill College conducts and publishes several review instruments, including an annual report, annual fiscal report, midterm report, comprehensive institutional self-study, and an evaluation review by a team of peers.
Foothill College views accreditation as an ongoing process and invites community members, students, faculty and staff to be
informed and participate. Essential elements of the 2012-2013 cycle included a Follow Up Report and visit by an ACCJC Evaluation
Team, further implementation of program review and the college integrated planning and budgeting structure, and updates to
our educational master plan. To be truly meaningful to the institution, these measurement activities and instruments must
include collaborative decision-making and support from Foothill College stakeholders.
It is important to know which college representatives are leading Foothill in its ongoing accreditation cycle. If you have questions, comments or concerns, e-mail or call the following accreditation representatives.

Two receive Kaul Prize for plasma physics work
Posted December 17, 2002; 02:35 p.m.
Erik Perry and Ronald Strykowsky, engineers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory , have received the Kaul Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research and Technology Development, honoring their contributions to the dismantling of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor.
Princeton University awards the Kaul Prize to recognize a recent outstanding technical achievement in plasma physics or technology development by a full-time, regular employee of the laboratory. Each winner receives $2,000.
Perry and Strykowsky were cited for "managing the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor Decommissioning and Decontamination Project, which was completed on schedule and under budget, as well as demonstrating that a large and complex fusion facility can be safely dismantled without significant radiological exposure to workers or harm to the environment."
The three-year, $40.3 million project, which was completed in September for $3.6 million under budget, dismantled one of the world's largest and most successful experimental fusion machines.
Perry was the project manager and is head of the construction branch of the laboratory. Strykowsky is a project controls manager at the laboratory, with responsibilities with the National Compact Stellarator Experiment Project, the engineering department and business operations.

THE spirit of unrest, which had entered Brockhurst in the dim October weather, along with certain guests, did not—Lady Calmady had foreseen as much—leave with their leaving. It remained a constant quantity. Further, it engendered events very far away from and, at first sight, wholly at variance with those which had accompanied its advent.
For example, Lady Louisa Barking, passing through Lowndes Square one bleak, March morning on her way from Albert Gate to do a little, quiet shopping in Sloane Street, observed that the Calmadys' house—situated at the corner of the square and of —— Street—was given over to a small army of work‐people. During Richard's minority it had been let for a term of years to Sir Reginald Aldham, of Aldham Revel in Midlandshire. Since Dickie's coming of age it had stood empty, pending a migration of the Brockhurst establishment, which migration had, in point of fact, never yet taken place. But now, as Lady Louisa, walking with a firm and distinguished tread along the grey, wind‐swept pavements, remarked, the house was in process of redecoration, of painting within and without. And, looking on these things, Lady Louisa's soul received very sensible comfort. She was extremely tenacious of purpose. And, in respect of one purpose at least, Heaven had not seen fit, during the last four or five months, to smile upon her. Superstitious persons might have regarded this fact as a warning. Lady Louisa, however, merely regarded it as an oversight. Now at last, so it appeared to her, Heaven had awakened to a consciousness of its delinquencies, with the satisfactory page: 274 result that her own commendable patience touched on reasonable hope of reward. And this was the more agreeable and comforting to her because the Quayle family affairs were not, it must be owned, at their brightest and best just at present. Clouds lowered on the family horizon. For some weeks she had felt the situation called for effective action on her part. But then, how to act most effectively she knew not. Now the needed opportunity stared her in the face, along with those high ladders and scaffolding poles surrounding the Calmady mansion. She decided, there and then, to take the field; but to take it discreetly, to effect a turning movement, not attempt a front attack.
So, on her return to Albert Gate, after the completion of her morning shopping, she employed the half‐hour before luncheon in writing an affectionate, sisterly letter to Ludovic Quayle. That accomplished, young gentleman happened, as she was aware, to be staying at Brockhurst. She asked his opinion—in confidence—on the present very uncomfortable condition of the family fortunes, declaring how implicitly she trusted his good sense and respected his judgment. Then, passing adroitly to less burning questions, she ended thus—
"Pray let Lady Calmady know how really delighted everybody is to hear she and Sir Richard will be up this season. I do trust, as I am such a near neighbour, that if there is anything I can do for her, either now, or later when they are settling, she will not hesitate to let me know. It would be such a sincere pleasure to me. Mr. Barking is too busy with tiresome, parliamentary committees to be able to allow himself more than a week at Easter. I should be thankful for a longer rest, for I am feeling dreadfully fagged. But you know how conscientious he always is; and of course one must pay a certain price for the confidence the leaders of one's party repose in one. So do tell Lady Calmady we are quite sure to be back immediately after Easter."
Reading which sentences Mr. Quayle permitted himself a fine smile on more than one count.
"Louisa reminds me of the sweet little poem of 'Bruce and the Spider,'" he said to himself. "She displays heroic persistence. Her methods are a trifle crude though. To provoke statements by making them is but a primitive form of diplomacy. Yet why be hard upon Louisa? Like my poor, dear father, she, more often than not, means well."
It followed that some few days later, on his return to Whitney, Ludovic indited a voluminous letter to his sister, in his very best page: 275 style.—"It is rather a waste," he reflected regretfully. "She will miss the neatest points. The happiest turns of phrase will be lost upon Louisa!" To recoup himself for which subjective loss the young man amused himself by giving a very alarmist account of certain matters, though he was constrained to admit the pleasing fact that Sir Richard and Lady Calmady really had it in contemplation to go up to town somewhere about Easter.
And, truth to tell, the main subject of Mr. Quayle's letter could hardly be otherwise than disquieting, for it was undeniable that Lord Shotover's debts were causing both himself and others serious embarrassment at this period. There was nothing new in this, that young nobleman's indebtedness being a permanent factor in his family's financial situation. This spring his indebtedness had passed from the chronic to the acute stage, that was all; with the consequence that it became evident Lord Shotover's debts must be paid, or his relations must submit to the annoyance of seeing him pass through the Bankruptcy Court. Which of these objectionable alternatives was least objectionable Lord Fallowfeild still stood in doubt, when, in obedience to the parental summons, the young man reached Whitney. Lord Fallowfeild had whipped himself up into a laudable heat of righteous indignation before the arrival of the prodigal. Yet he contrived to be out when the dog‐cart conveying the said prodigal, and Mr. Decies, of the 101st Lancers—a friend of Guy Quayle, home on leave from India, whence he brought news of his fellow‐subaltern—actually drove up to the door. When, pushed thereto by an accusing conscience, he did at last come in, Lord Fallowfeild easily persuaded himself that there really was not time before dinner for the momentous conversation. Moreover, being very full of the milk of human kindness, he found it infinitely more agreeable to hear the praises of the absent son, Guy, than to fall foul of the present son, Shotover. So that it was not till quite late that night, by which time he was slightly sleepy, while his anger had sensibly evaporated, that the interview did actually take place.
"Now then, Shotover, march off to the place of execution," Ludovic Quayle said sweetly, as he picked up his bedroom candlestick. "It was a deep and subtle thought that of bringing down Decies. Only, query, did you think of it, or was it just a bit of your usual luck?"
Lord Shotover smiled rather ruefully upon his prosperous, and, it may be added, slightly parsimonious, younger brother.
"Well, I don't deny it did occur to me it might work," he page: 276 admitted. "And after all, you know, one mercy is there's no real vice about his dear old lordship."
Lord Fallowfeild fidgeted about the library, his expression that of a well‐nourished and healthy, but rather fretful infant.
"Oh! ah!—well—so here you are, Shotover," he said. "Unpleasant business this of yours—uncommonly disagreeable business for both of us."
"Deucèd unpleasant business," the younger man echoed heartily. He closely resembled his father in looks, save that he was clean shaven and of a lighter build. Both father and son had the same slight lisp in speaking.—"Deucèd unpleasant," he repeated. "Nobody can feel that more than I do."
"Can't they though?" said Lord Fallowfeild, with a charmingly innocent air of surprise. "There, sit down, Shotover, won't you? It's a painful thing to do, but we've got to talk it over, I suppose."
"Well, of course, if you're kind enough to give me the time, you know,—that's rather what I came down here for."
"So you did though," the elder man returned, brightening as though making an illuminating discovery. Then, fearing he was forgetting his part and becoming amiable too rapidly, he made a gallant effort to whip up his somnolent indignation. "It's very distressing to me to put it so plainly, but in my opinion it's a disgraceful business."
"Oh! I give you my word I know it," Lord Shotover replied, with most disarming candour. His father affected, with difficulty, not to hear the remark.
"It doesn't do for a man in your position to be owing money all over the country. It brings the aristocracy into contempt with the shop‐keeping class. They're always on the lookout for the shortcomings of their superiors, those people. And they do pay their debts, you see."
"They've always got such a thundering lot of money," Lord Shotover put in. "Don't know how they'd contrive to spend it unless they did pay their debts."
"Oh! ah!—yes"—His father hesitated. It struck him Shotover was a reasonable fellow, very reasonable, and he took the whole matter in a very proper spirit. In short, it was not easy to blow up Shotover. Lord Fallowfeild thrust his hands far down into his trouser pockets and turned sideways in the great, leather‐covered chair.
"I'm not narrow‐minded or prejudiced," he began. "I always have kept on civil terms with those sort of people and always will. Courtesy is an obligation on the part of a gentleman page: 277 and a Christian. I'd as soon be rude to my tailor as eat with my knife. But a man must respect his own rank or others won't respect it, especially in these nasty, radical, levelling times. You must stand by your class. There's a vulgar proverb about the bird that fouls its own nest, you know. Well, I never did that. I've always stood by my own class. Helped my poor brother Archibald—you can't remember him—weren't born at the time —to run away with Lady Jane Bateman. Low, common fellow Bateman. I never liked Bateman. She left Ludovic all that money, you know"—
"Wish to goodness she'd left it to me," murmured Lord Shotover.
"Eh?" inquired his father. Then he fell into a moralising vein. "Nasty, disreputable things elopements. I never did approve of elopements. Leave other men's wives alone, Shotover."
The younger man's mouth worked a little.
"The nuisance is sometimes they won't leave you alone."
Lord Fallowfeild gazed at him a moment, very genially.
"Oh! ah!—well—I suppose they won't," he said, and he chuckled. "Anyhow I stood by your poor uncle Archibald. He was my brother of course, and she was a second cousin of your mother's, so I felt bound to. And I saw them across the Channel and into the Paris train. Dreadfully bad crossing that night I remember, no private cabins to be had, and Lady Jane was dreadfully ill. Never take your wife to sea on your honey moon, Shotover. It's too great a risk. That business cost me a lot of money one way and another, and let me in for a most painful scene with Bateman afterwards. But, as I say, you're bound to stand by your own class. That'll be my only reason for helping you, you understand, Shotover, if I do help you."
"And I am sure I hope you will."—The young man rose and stood with his back to the fire and his hands under his coat‐tails. He stooped a little, looking down pensively at the hearth‐rug between his feet. His clothes—not yet paid for, or likely to be‐claimed admiration, so did the length of his legs and the neatness of his narrow hips.
"I can only assure you I shall be most awfully grateful if you do help me," he said quietly. "I don't pretend to deserve it—but that doesn't lessen gratitude—rather the other way, don't you know. I shall never forget it."
"Won't you though?"
And for the life of him Lord Fallowfeild could not help beaming upon this handsome prodigal.—"Uncommonly high‐ page: 278 bred looking fellow, Shotover," he said to himself. "Don't wonder women run after him. Uncommonly high‐bred, and shows very nice feeling too."
And then the kindly and simple gentleman drew himself up with a mental jerk, remembering that he was there to curse rather than to bless. He fidgeted violently.
"Not that I have actually made up my mind to help you yet," he went on. "I am very much inclined to cast you adrift. It distresses me to put it to you so plainly, but you are disgrace—fully extravagant, you know, Shotover."
"Oh! I know," the young man admitted.
"You're a selfish fellow."—Lord Fallowfeild became relentless. "Yes, it's extremely painful to me to say it to you, but you are downright selfish. And that, in the long‐run, comes uncommonly hard on your sisters. Good girls, your sisters. Never given your mother or me any trouble, your sisters. But money has to come from somewhere, and each time I pay your debts I have to cut down your sisters' portions."
"Yes, I know, and that's what's made me so infernally unwilling to come to you about my affairs," Lord Shotover said, in tones of perfectly genuine regret.
"Is it though?" his father commented.—"Good fellow at heart," he added to himself. "Displays very proper feeling. Always was a good‐hearted fellow."
"I can only tell you I've been awfully wretched about it for the last three months."
"Have you though?" said Lord Fallowfeild, with sympathy.
"I got just about as low as I well could. I felt I was nothing but a nuisance and encumbrance. It was beastly to think of fleecing the girls, don't you know. I came precious near cutting my throat—only that seemed rather a dirty way of getting out of it all."
"So it is—poor boy—quite right. Nasty mean way of shirking your responsibilities. Quite agree with you. I have never had any opinion of a man who cut his throat. Never mention such a thing, Shotover." He blew his nose resonantly.—"Never talk of such a thing," he repeated. "And —poor boy—I—I'll pay your debts. Only I tell you this really is the last time. There must be no misunderstanding about that. You must reform, Shotover, if it's only on account of your sisters. I don't want to take an unfair advantage of you in alluding to your sisters. Only you must understand clearly this is the last time. You see it's becoming too frequent. I don't want to press the case unduly against you, but you recollect—I'm sure you do— page: 279 I paid your debts in fifty‐eight, and again in sixty‐two, or sixty‐three, was it? Yes, it must have been sixty‐three, because that was the year my poor friend Tom Henniker died. Good fellow Henniker—I missed Henniker. And they wanted me to take over the hounds. Nice fellow in the hunting‐field, Henniker. Never saw him lose his temper but once, and that was when Image rode over the hounds on the edge of Talepenny Wood."
"Rather coarse sort of brute, Image," put in Lord Shotover.
"And Henniker had such an excellent manner with the farmers, genial and cheery, very cheery at times and yet without any loss of dignity. Great test of a man's breeding that, being cheery without loss of dignity. Now my poor friend, Henniker—oh! ah! yes, where was I though? Your debts now, Shotover. Yes, it must have been sixty‐three, because they all wanted me to succeed him as master, and I had to tell them I could not afford it, so it must have been just after I cleared you."
He looked at his erring son with the most engaging air of appeal and remonstrance.
"Really it won't do, Shotover," he repeated. "You must reform. It's becoming too frequent. You'd better travel for a time. That's the proper thing for a man in your position to do when he's in low water. Not scuttle, of course. I wouldn't on any account have you scuttle. But, three weeks or a month hence when things are getting into shape, just travel for a time. I'll arrange it all for you. Only never talk of cutting your throat again. And you quite understand this is positively the last time. I am very much in earnest, my dear boy, nothing will move me. This settlement is final. And we'll just run up quietly to town to‐morrow and have a talk with my lawyers, Fox and Goteway. Very civil and accommodating fellow, Goteway—he may be able to make some suggestions. Very nice, confidential‐mannered person, Goteway. Knows how to hold his tongue and doesn't ask unnecessary questions—useful man, Goteway"—
Which things coming to the knowledge of Lady Louisa Barking moved her at once to wrath, and to deepened conviction that the moment for decisive action had arrived. It appeared to her that her father had put himself out of court. His weakness regarding his eldest son had practically delivered him into her hand. She congratulated herself upon the good which is thus beneficently permitted to spring out of evil. Yet while recognising that a just Providence sometimes, at all events, overrules human folly to the production of happy results, she was by no means disposed to spare the mortal whose individual page: 280 foolishness had given the divine wisdom its opportunity. Therefore when, some few days later, Lord Fallowfeild called on her, after a third or fourth interview with Messrs. Fox and Goteway—beaming, expansive, from the sense of a merciful action accomplished—she received him in a distinctly repressive manner. The great, white and gold drawing‐rooms in Albert Gate were not more frigid or unbending than the bearing of their mistress as she suffered her father's embrace. And that amiable nobleman, notwithstanding his large frame and exalted social position, felt himself shiver inwardly in the presence of his daughter, even as he could remember shivering when, as a small schoolboy, he had been summoned to the dread presence of the headmaster.
"Very good rooms these of yours, Louisa," he began hastily. "Always have admired these rooms. Capital space for entertaining. Barking was quite right to secure the house as soon as it was in the market. I told him at the time he would never regret it."
Lady Louisa did not answer, but called after the retreating footman, who had just brought in a stately and limited tea‐tray, much silver and little food:—"I am not at home, William."
Then, as she put small and accurate measures of tea into a massive teapot, she added severely:—"What is all this I hear about Shotover, papa?"
"Oh! ah! yes—poor Shotover. Came up to town together again to‐day. Good‐hearted fellow, your brother Shotover, but thoughtless. However, I have had a most satisfactory talk with my men of business, Fox and Goteway. I know Barking does not think much of Fox and Goteway. Wanted me to go to his own lawyers, Hodges and Banquet. But if anyone serves you conscientiously you should not leave them. It's against my principles to turn off those who serve me conscientiously. I told Barking so at the time, I remember. It came out of the business about your settlements, wasn't it—or the last time I paid Shotover's"—He cleared his throat hurriedly. "I see the Calmadys' house is being done up," he continued. "Nice young fellow, Calmady. But I never can help feeling a certain awkwardness with him. Takes you up rather short in conversation too sometimes. Terribly distressing thing his deformity and all that, both for himself and Lady Calmady. Hope, perhaps, she doesn't feel it as some women would though—tactful woman, Lady Calmady, and very good woman of business. Still, never feel quite at my ease with Lady Calmady. Can't help wondering how they'll do in London, you know. Rather difficult thing his going about much with that"—page: 281
Lady Louisa held out a small teacup. Her high penetrating voice asserted itself resolutely against her father's kindly, stumbling chatter, as she asked:—
"Is it true you are not coming up from Whitney this season?"
"Oh!—tea—yes, thank you very much, my dear. No—well, I think possibly we may not come up this year. Goteway believes he has heard of a very eligible tenant for the Belgrave Square house, very eligible. And so, nothing actually decided yet, but I think very possibly we may not come up."
He spoke apologetically, regarding his daughter, over the small teacup, with an expression of entreaty. Every feature of his handsome, innocent countenance begged her not to deal harshly with him. But Lady Louisa remained obdurate.
"Shotover's conduct is becoming a positive scandal," she said.
"Not conduct, my dear—no, not conduct, only money," protested Lord Fallowfeild.
"If money is not conduct I really don't know what is," retorted his daughter. "I do not pretend to go in for such fine distinctions. In any case Mr. Barking heard the most shocking rumours at his club the other day."
"Did he though?" ejaculated Lord Fallowfeild.
"He was too considerate to tell me anything very definite, but he felt that, going out and seeing everybody as of course I have to, it was only right I should have some hint of what was being said. Everyone is talking about Shotover. You can imagine how perfectly intolerable it is for me to feel that my brother's debts are being canvassed in this sort of way."
"I am very sorry there should be any gossip," Lord Fallowfeild said humbly. "Nasty thing gossip—lies, too, mostly, all of it. Nasty, low, unprofitable thing gossip."
"And, of course, your all not coming up will give colour to it."
"Will it though? I never thought of that. You always see straight through things, Louisa. You have by far the best head in the family, except Ludovic—uncommonly clever fellow, Ludovic. Wonder if I had better talk it all over with Ludovic? If you and he agree in thinking our not coming up will make more talk, why, if only on Shotover's account, I"—
But this was not in the least the turn which his daughter desired the conversation to take.
"Pray remember you have other children besides Shotover, papa!" she said hastily. "And for everyone's sake run no page: 282 further risk of impoverishing yourself. It is obvious that you must save where you can. If there is the chance of a good let for the Belgrave Square house, it would be madness to refuse it. And, after all, you do not really care about London. If there are any important debates in the Lords, you can always come up for a night or so. It does not matter about you."
"Oh! doesn't it though?" Lord Fallowfeild put in quite humbly and gently.
"And mama would always rather stay on at Whitney. Only it must not appear as if we were the least uncomfortable at meeting people. I shall make it a point to go everywhere. I shall be dreadfully fagged, of course, but I feel it a duty to all of you to do so. And I should like the girls to go out too. People must not suppose they have no gowns to their backs. Maggie and Emily have had several seasons. I am less worried about them. But Connie must be seen. She is looking extremely pretty."
"Isn't she though?" Lord Fallowfeild chimed in, brightening. The picture of those reportedly gownless backs had depressed him abominably.
"Yes, and she must have every advantage. I have quite decided that. She must come up to me at once. I shall write to mama and point out to her how necessary it is that one of the girls, at least, should be very much en evidence this year. And I am most anxious it should be Connie. As I undertake all the fatigue and responsibility I feel I have a right of choice. I will see that she is properly dressed. I undertake everything. Now, papa, if you are going down by the 6.10 train you ought to start. Will you have a hansom?"
Then, as she shook hands with him, and presented an unresponsive cheek to the paternal lips, Lady Louisa clinched the matter.
"I may consider it quite settled, then, about Constance?" she said. "I mentioned it to Mr. Barking yesterday, and we agreed it ought to be done even if it entailed a little inconvenience and expense. It is not right to be indifferent to appearances. The other two girls can come up for a little while later. Alicia must help. Of course there is not much room in that wretched, little Chelsea house of hers, but George Winterbotham can turn out of his dressing‐room. Alicia must exert herself for once. And, papa, Connie need not bring a maid. Those country girls from Whitney don't always fit in quite well with the upper servants, and yet there is a difficulty about keeping them out of the housekeeper's room. I will provide a maid for her. I'll write page: 283 to mama about everything to‐morrow. And, papa, I do beg you will discourage Shotover from coming here, for really I would much rather not see him at present. Good‐bye. Pray start at once. You have barely time to get to Waterloo."
And so Lord Fallowfeild started, a little flustered, a little crestfallen, on his homeward journey.
"Able woman, Louisa," he said to himself. "Uncommonly clear‐sighted woman, Louisa. But a trifle hard. Wonder if Barking ever feels that, now? Not very sensitive man, Barking, though. Suppose that hardness in Louisa comes of her having no children. Always plenty of children in our family—except my poor brother Archibald and Lady Jane, they had no children. Yet somebody told me she'd had one by Bateman, which died. Never understood about that. Capital thing for Ludovic she never did have any by Archibald. But it's always curious to me Louisa should have no children. Shouldn't have expected that somehow of Barking and Louisa. Sets her more free, of course, in regard to her sisters. Very thoughtful for her sisters, Louisa. I suppose she must have Connie. Nuisance all this gossip about Shotover. Pretty child, Connie—best looking of the lot. People say she's like me.—Wonderfully pretty child, Connie. That young fellow Decies thinks so too, or I'm very much mistaken. Very much attracted by Connie. Fine young fellow, Decies—comfort to hear of Guy from him. Suppose she must go up to Louisa? Gentleman‐like fellow, Decies. I shouldn't care to part with Connie"—
And then, his reflections becoming increasingly interjectional as the train trundled away south‐westward, Lord Fallowfeild leaned back in the corner of the railway carriage and fell very fast asleep.

I think it's worse when they DO listen!
A good friend at work was poised to buy an inexpensive golden for her daughter, from a dicey operation, no clearances, the sire was barely a year old, and the bitch wasn't much older and on her second litter.
As an example of what to look for, I showed her a flat-coat friend's litter listing, clearances and titles and pedigrees and every bell and whistle. Before I knew it, my friend decided she had to have the pricey flat-coat well above her (my, many folks')pay grade. Her daughter chipped in her birthday money and literally broke her piggy bank and rolled the quarters.
I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes, worried about that dog!

Form and Function
I like it!. All my riding buddies are impressed with its design and function. It fits well with my Honda Steed and my old school scrambler.
I cant ride without it.
By: jw929rr
Ogio put some real quality and craftmanship into this mini tank bag. It is well suited for my needs. I can carry everythingI would normally stuff into my pockets, in this bag instead. Easy on, easy off.
By: KC
Great tank bag!
This is a great small tank bag. I just picked up a new Honda Shadow RS and my old mini tank bag just didn't look right on it or fit well. This looks like a nice piece of luggage on and off the motorcycle. The shoulder straps make it easy to carry off the motorcycle and it looks like a small, stylish backpack.
I like it so much I ordered the matching tail bag.
By: Nate S.
I ride a 2001 Suzuki Katana and absolutely hated tank bags until this one. I never found one I liked or looked good. This one is perfect though. Enough room for a Gatorade bottle, phone, wallet, and glasses or whatever you would need. Easy on and off of tank, plus very good magnets. Never had a scratch, and good straps for carrying on back when off the bike.

The Failure of Multiculturalism
Multicultural policies accept that societies are diverse, yet they implicitly assume that such diversity ends at the edges of minority communities. By forcing people into ethnic and cultural boxes, they help create the very divisions they were meant to manage.

Wait a minute, Bikerscout, how could you have resisted opening MP Prime for so long???
Wait a minute, Bikerscout, how could you have resisted opening MP Prime for so long???
Ok, so who can meet up in the greater LA area on a Wednesday or Thursday? We can do it in the evening, obviously, but those are the days Bikerscout has off.
I woke up this morning and decided to do a run to the south, concentrating on TF BH Shockwave (no find), but here are the details:
Culver TRU - jack squat.
Hawthorne TRU - nada.
Torrence 405 Walmart - a very bent card for the Imperial Navy Commander, bought, not in their system.
Torrence Del Amo Walmart - I waited 10 minutes behind a train, who lets these longass trains drive through the city during the day?!? Anyway, waited just to get to... zip, very small selection overall, annoying since it's right next to...
Torrence Del Amo TRU - some Kithabas, Luke Hoths, Jar Jars (TVC), 2 more Imperial Navy Commanders (I bought these 2 too).
Torrence Del Amo Target - nothing.
I considered doing a longer run south and east, but the writing felt like it was on the wall: low orders on this case with 2 shelfwarmers to push against 2x Shockwave doom it.
Imperial Navy Commander is pretty good, looks like the picture even, and he's not a behemoth like the TAC version. Shoulders are a little gappy and sport the Republic logo instead of Imperial. Nice working holster with a Rebel Trooper blaster. Helmet nicer than TAC figure, tight but fits on TAC figure (TAC figure's helmet doesn't fit well on TVC figure though). TAC and TVC heads not interchangeable.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Different subject, but what still really sucks right now is the $ being gone from preordering Prowl, Smokescreen and bluestreak.
Maybe JT can direct his collecting energy toward Pokemon and stamps -like he's always wanted to....
Just read about the southbay run. Nice!! Too bad TRU sale isn't goin on again. I hope it does once more
Last edited by bikerscout; 04-12-2013 at 06:56 PM. Reason: south
I figured since you were never going to open your MP-10, I was going to bring mine to compare, but obviously that's a better idea.
TVC Sidious is awful on card and not bad open, you're really missing out there.
At least you are guaranteed those figures at a good price, BBTS wants $80 plus shipping each.
Pokemon is so 14 years ago. Stamps are so 180 years ago.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Found the Joe Ninja Combat Cruiser at Super Target in Moreno Valley. Curiously, it and the 70 or so (I exaggerate, but not much) HISSes were $16.99.
Every single one I've found has been obviously opened and clumsily resealed, but it appears to be before they hit shelves. I don't suppose that might be wasting a question to Hasbro on? Probably not. They probably forgot some minor accessory in the entire run or something.
That's my jacket!
No, BBTS wants that for the Fairlady Z brothers. And it is a better solution for you to bring yours SO THAT YOU OPEN IT!! I swear, he has the attention span of a gold fish.
I could probably clear a Thursday.
I missed JT's question somehow. I can probably do it, but it's going to depend upon what Wednesday or Thursday.
That's my jacket!
Up until late May, my weekday afternoons are pretty busy. When school's... out, for... sum-mah, then it's open season. No more books, or of my dirty looks.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

I'm guessing this is some problem with the ultrasonic frequency making its way to the wires carrying the DS18B20 signal,

Geithner confirmed as treasury secretary despite tax woes.
Geithner confirmed as treasury secretary despite tax woes.
C'mon, guys....he simply didn't realize he hadn't paid the taxes.....
I suppose that the "I didn't realize..." defense will become more common now....
I keep my PM box full. Use email to contact me: email@example.com.
I'm not surprised the tax cheat was ushered through the confirmation process so easily after Hillary's nomination sailed through. Do a google search on the Clinton Foundation and the MILLIONS it received last year from several Middle Eastern nations. And we're supposed to believe that won't influence any policy decisions she might suggest to our woefully unprepared fearless leader?
You go Hillary!! Maybe one of their fat cat donors will invite her to go on a lyin' huntin' safari, I hear she bagged a trophy ditch tiger recently
What a great Cabinet the President now has. Cheats, bums and lots of arrogance.
Its a no brainer we have been in bed with our enemies for the last 20 years or more,,, the only difference is we don't hide it any more. We flagrently publisize it.
There are n't any politicians out there that put the american public first.
There mostly scraps of garbage in a pretty wrapper with a bow.
They will continue to do what they want until We don't let them. If you disagree, as I do, with this appoinment I'd hope you contact your Reps.
This new Sect of T, head of the IRS, is not only a tax cheat but helped craft the TARP program. Where has the $350 billion gone???? right ... nobody knows, only the Shadow.
I guess that is change I can believe in.
A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
Did anyone hear this SPIN on television last night?
"... he was confirmed despite allegations that he was late on paying his taxes."
Late on paying his taxes?
I watched the hearings. They were disturbing. Democrats: He is so intelligent, he is the only one for the job. He's the one the President has chosen. To use a current phrase, the Democrats were slobbering over him.
He cheated on his taxes (expensive summer camp deducted as child care costs). He didn't pay his taxes when due. He didn't pay until the IRS contacted him, and then he did not pay all the back taxes. He paid those only when he was chosen by Obama and his team.
He said he made commonly made "mistakes". Democrats said it was a mistake many others have made. Problem is, research showed that only ONE person failed to pay their taxes. He received constant reminders in writing by the firm he worked for that he was liable to pay the tax. How could he testify at his hearing that he forgot and he made a common mistake?
The guy may be smart, but he is also a cheater and a tax evader. And isn't that what got Al Capone -- income tax evasion?
Don's girls:
FC AFC Flyway's Ruby B. Gonia - a Carbon daughter and now a grandma (my avatar)
FC AFC Flyway's Long Tall Sally - Ruby's daughter. Bred to FC AFC Nike which produced Maggie.
Flyway's Iron Lady (Maggie) - Ruby's granddaughter. Maggie's the new puppy in the house. She is now running in the Derby.
You'll get no argument from me. Also, I am not happy that he relaxed his ethics rules to nominate his deputy secretary of defense.

Solar energy leadership boosted at Binghamton University
BINGHAMTON, NY -- In efforts to ensure the advancement of Binghamton University's growing strength in solar energy research, Seshu Desu and Provost Mary Ann Swain have announced that he will resign as dean of the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science on June 1, to become executive director of the Center for Autonomous Solar Power (CASP). Desu will also serve as a senior advisor to Swain.
In establishing CASP, Desu has made major contributions in the use of flexible electronics to fabricate solar collectors. He has proposed key initiatives to make them light-weight, portable and useable as movable equipment and garments. Desu has also made great strides in the use of supercapacitors to store solar energy, which could be used in clothing or to power electronics. Desu has also been very instrumental in securing over $4.5 million in Congressionally directed funding.
"To advance our efforts in solar energy research will require a comprehensive plan, sustained leadership and a considerable investment of time and energy," said Swain. "In order to realize the promise of these innovative ideas and to meet our obligations to this federal initiative, I am pleased that we will be able to count on Dr. Desu's foresight and problem-solving. Building on our strengths in solar energy will require thinking outside the box, and Seshu is certainly well qualified to advance this project."
In transitioning Desu from his role as dean of the Watson School, Swain has asked the faculty and staff of the Watson School to provide comments about the transition and nominations for new leadership. She will also meet with the Watson Faculty Senate representatives, the Watson department chairs, President DeFleur and other constituents as part of the decision-making process. Swain is hoping to have a replacement named in early summer.

I've been in IT for 13 years beginning with a high school job, through technical college, and now as a career. I work as a network technician (more of a server administrator) for a medium size business in the Midwest US. Actually I used to be opposed to security measures because I saw them as a hindrance to usability, but for the past couple years my interest in security has grown to a nice simmering hobby.
I participated in a few of the Skillz competitions but never joined the site because I never felt I had anything to contribute. Recently though, I revitalized my interest in security through a wireless project I was working on and now that I have been posting I feel drawn to learning more.
My intent is to help those starting out because that's where I'm at. I'm fluent with linux and using the command line, so for me it's just learning what tools are out there and how they work. As I'm learning, I want to reiterate my learning for others that may be stuck on how concepts are put into practice.
I just started a blog: http://danstechspot.blogspot.com/. I hope to fill this blog with educational insights and basic tutorials from a newbie perspective. I think it's a noble calling, I just hope I keep up with it!
Hello and welcome to all!

Joseph Sedgwick was the fourth child of Captain Samuel Sedgwick and his wife Mary Hopkins. Joseph's youngest brother Benjamin was the father of Judge Theodore Sedgwick, whose descendants are the subject of two books I recently wrote about here, In My Blood and Edie: An American Biography.
In future posts, we'll look at my Sedgwick line one generation at a time, using the materials posted at Sedgwick Genealogy Worldwide and whatever else I come up with.
An Important Note About Mrs. Ezekiel T. Efner:
In the first chart above, you'll see Salina Bouck, Ezekiel T. Efner's wife, in the lower right corner. But was her surname Bouck or Burch? As a beginning genealogist many years ago, I found that someone had noted Selina's surname as "Bouck or Burch." (At this point, I can't tell you where I saw that!) I tried to determine which was correct, but to no avail, and I suspect that better researchers than I have also found a brick wall here.
Richard Efnor, in his extensive research, cites William B. Efner (Efner Family - Eugene Bouton Papers): Ezekiel T. Efner "married Selina Burch February 03, 1831." I haven't seen the Bouton papers. However, I found that Bouck was a common surname in Schoharie County, New York, where Ezekiel lived. I did some searching under both names, but I found no mention of anyone who might be Ezekiel Efner's wife. Consequently, although she is listed as Salina Bouck in the pedigree chart appearing here, I do have her listed both ways in my database, until some kind of documentation comes into my hands to show which is correct.

Learning Lesson: AM in the PM
|Demonstrate that AM radio signals can travel many 100's of miles at night.
|The student will listen to as many radio stations as possible obtaining the call signs and places of origin during the nighttime hours
|30 minutes to two hours during the evening or early in the morning before sunrise.
|Radio with an AM band
|Radio Station Reception Form
|Supply the students with a list of the local AM radio stations.
|NOAA Weather Radio
Radio signals bounce off the ionosphere all the time. However, we often do not notice it except at night when we listen to AM radio. These signals can travel 1000's of miles.
- Most homes should have some sort of portable AM radio. If not, automobile radios will often work well. (Have the student to ask a parent or guardian to help supervise them while listening to AM radio stations in an automobile. Students without a valid driver's license are not to be left alone with keys to the vehicle.)
- Search for a radio signal that is not from a local station. (Most will be faint but the reception is usually clear enough to understand.) Stations broadcasting sporting events are easy to identify.
- Listen for the station identifier "call sign". The call sign is a three or four letter identifier begining with the letter "W" or "K".
- Log the call sign and location (city) of the transmission. Also note the quality of the signal. Was it loud? Soft? Fade in and out? etc, and the what was broadcast; news, sports, etc., Was there a lot of static?
- Search for another signal and repeat.
- You can compare the students results with the list of clear channel stations. It is entirely possible that students hear broadcasts that are not local and not one of the powerful nighttime radio stations.
During the daytime, the distance the AM radio signal travels is the distance the ground wave travels based upon the power of the transmitter. The signal also reaches the ionosphere.
The D-Layer of the ionosphere plays an interesting role. While there are no radio signals reflected off this layer it does absorb AM radio signals. Because of the absorption of the signal, there are also more radio stations transmitting during the daytime and these stations can often transmit at higher power.
At night, the D-Layer disappears and the transmitted signal can then bounce off the ionosphere and return back to the earth. As a result, some low power stations must cease transmission at sunset while others reduce their transmitted power to reduce interference.
However, there are high power clear channel stations that can broadcast all night. It is these stations the students will most likely find.
Fast Facts
Stations are assigned a call sign beginning with "K", if they are west of the Mississippi River, and beginning with "W" if they are east of the river.
However, there are some stations with only a 3-letter call sign, or stations with a "K" east of the Mississippi, or "W" on the west side. These stations have been "grandfathered" meaning they are allowed to keep their current sign until the station's ownership changes hands.
Before 1922, three-letter call signs were arbitrary. In the 1920's, the FCC issued three-letter call signs based on slogans, such as WGN, which is owned by the Chicago Tribune, the "World's Greatest Newspaper", and WLS, then owned by Sears, Roebuck, the "World's Largest Store".
NOAA Weather Radio
NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information direct from a nearby National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day.
Working with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NWR is an "all hazards" radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information. NWR also broadcasts warning and post-event information for all types of hazards--both natural (such as earthquakes and volcano activity) and environmental (such as chemical releases or oil spills).
Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce. NWR includes more than 900 transmitters, covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal.

Family: Lycaenidae, Gossamer-wing Butterflies view all from this family
Description The Melissa Blue (Lycaeides melissa) is a butterfly of the Lycaenidae family. It is found in Western North America, from Canada to Mexico. The Karner Blue (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) is a subspecies of the Melissa Blue.
The wingspan is 22–35 mm. The butterfly flies from April to August depending on the location.
The larvae feed on Lupin, Medicago and Lotus species.
Dimensions The wingspan is 22–35 mm.
Endangered Status The Karner Blue, a subspecies of the Melissa Blue, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Like so many endangered species, this butterfly has been the victim of loss of habitat to humans. Each type of butterfly relies on particular plants for feeding and laying eggs on. The Karner Blue can't live without Wild Lupine, a plant that has become increasingly rare in the eastern U.S. Development has overtaken the lupine's habitat in many areas, and fire suppression affects its habitat in others, allowing forests to encroach and shade out the lupines and other meadow plants. The Karner Blue declined alongside the lupine, and then its small populations were further reduced by collectors, who wanted the rare and beautiful butterfly for their collections. While recovery plans are being drawn up for the Karner Blue, the butterfly receives protection in several federal and state preserves.
Habitat Deserts, Forests & woodlands, Meadows & fields.
Range New England, Western Canada, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, Northwest, California, Plains, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Texas.

During a session at SXSW Monday afternoon regarding fitness gadgets "and the quantifiable self," Jennifer Grenz, with startup Azumio, explained how her company's apps for mobile devices act both to shame bad activity, such as having that extra cookie you know you shouldn't, but also to provide a support network, with friends chiming in when you demonstrate good behavior.
Grenz described fitness apps as an alternative to the "Biggest Loser" mentality of simply shedding weight to rather making oneself healthier "from the inside out."
By putting one's fingertip in front of the smartphone's camera, Grenz explained, the app can determine variability of heart rate, which can be used as a proxy for stress levels.
Grenz was joined by Jin Lee, chief technology officer of Salutron, which has spent 20 years developing various kinds of electro-cardiogram monitoring devices, and which describes itself as a "body monitoring solutions" company. Last year, the two companies partnered to have Azumio's somewhere work with Salutron's "Move C300″ bracelet, which does the measuring.
Salutron is working with NASA, said Lee, which is "very interested" in measuring stress levels. Various epiphenomena, such as "vasoconstriction" of blood vessels, point to stress. Salutron is interested in using such measures, among with heart-rate increases, through the camera, to triangulate stress.
When the Q&A turned to the liabilities of measuring people's health, Genz pointed out the devices "can track everything for your personal well-being, but we don't give you an actual diagnostic recommendation," meaning, the devices are outside the FDA approval process and can't promise a diagnostic solution. Grenz talked about "horror stories" of customers who used the software to go to the ER just in time to head off a heart-attack, to which her response was, "Please don't use this as a diagnostic!"
That leaves both companies to navigate the tricky realm of partnerships with health providers, insurers, etc., a process that is taking its time, she indicated.

30 gallon ram/angel
I am getting my 30 gallon tank a little later than expected, but it should be set up in the next two weeks, I would like to keep a pair of Bolivian rams, and a pair of angels. The tank will be heavily planted and I was curiouse if this setup could work. There would be about 5 cories, and mayb a small school of tetras as well. What are you're thoughts and opinions?

While I can't tell you about the compatibility between the rams & angels, I will tell you that from what I've learned here, a 30gal won't be large enough for 2 angels (I've read that 29gal is minimum size for ONE angel) and...2 angels are only good together if they are a mated pair.
That would also be a lotta fish for a tank that size, considering how large angels get eventually.
Yea, 30gallons would not work for all those fish.
look at some youtube videos to see how big angels really get. it surprises people on their size.
but in 30gallons-do either the 1 angel
2 bolivian rams.
they do get along, but 30gallons, plus cory's plus tetra's is too tight for them to coexist
Even a mated pair of angels in a 30 has risk potential, I had a long term mated pair go from paradise to bloodbath literally overnight in a 30.. He killed her.
The problem is that cichlids are territorial and in a 30g tank if one angel decides that THIS is mine... There is literally nowhere for the other one to go that is 'outside' of the claimed territory.
This never ends well.
Just two personal examples IME of why a pair or all of the above is not the route to go. Get the rams or a solo angel if those are your choices

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Alright, thanks guys, its kind of dissapointing to hear, but I wouldbt risk any fish, or stress anybody out on purpose so I guess I ll just have to change my plans around
You could have a couple schools of tetra and the corys, OR a couple bolivian rams with the tetra, but I would leave the angels out. In my opinion a 29/30 gallon tank is not big enough for even one adult angelfish. I'm not sure about the compatibility with the bolivians, but a dwarf gourami would work with a school of tetra and the corys.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

Arlene Shechet: Urgent Matter
January 15, 2016, 10:00 am TO 8:00 pm
| Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis | Free
|Recurring Event (See all)
Across plaster, porcelain, and paper, New York–based artist Arlene Shechet's intensive, playful practice consistently pushes the boundaries of what sculpture can be. Over the last decade, she has worked extensively in ceramics, crafting a visual language that breaks many of the medium's conventions. For her exhibition at CAM, Shechet premieres a series of free-standing sculptures alongside several works from her series Parallel Play, developed during a residency at New York's Dieu Donne Paper Mill in 2012. Giving new meaning to the idea of "work on paper," the Parallel Play series occupies a space between two and three dimensions, serving as an immediate, spontaneous foil to her larger sculptural practice.

There is a convention coming up in March I believe at the Scottish rites center in sacramento, I will be there selling with a friend and we should have some good stuff with good prices too.
Anybody else know about this show or plan on going?
BTW thanks for the reply maradona
Saw the new Infinite Heroes packaging today along with the entire first wave at multiple Targets. I love the pins as pack ins, but still didn't pick them up. I've only bought a relative few of these figures, since many of the ones I want are so difficult to track down.
spotted wave 12 at my local wally world last night. Start huntin'!
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I found some wave 12 at Walmart today as well.
Also picked up Nightwing as I didn't get him the first time around.
Wave 14 from the latest ToyFare -
Hourman (Golden Age)
Gold from the Metal Men
Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
C-A-C Ultra-Humanite
All look really cool, though I don't much care for the teeth gritting expressions on Alan Scott, and especially on Obsidian.
I really expected wave 14 to be the Elasti-Girl wave, including Mento since they are the last two Doom Patrol members to be done. Guess we'll have to wait a little bit longer to finish that group.

Anyway, every other e-mail client has something that bugs me except for Evolution. The problem with evolution is its only available for RPM-based systems, Debian, and Solaris. Tonight's project - get Evolution working in Slackware. I would just switch to RedHat or SuSE, but I keep getting frustrated with RPM dependency problems and just switching back anyway. Also on the agenda for Real Soon Now - get my Handspring Visor and the Gnome Palm Pilot conduits working together. Whenever I get it working, I'll post a howto to my web page.

I don't think this was on Barnes & Noble's (BKS) Christmas list. The SEC is investigating the book seller's accounting, including its recent decision to restate earnings for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, according to regulatory filings. The Wall Street Journal has the story.
Barnes & Noble said it was notified by the SEC on Oct. 16 that the commission had started an investigation into the company's restatement of earnings, announced on July 29. On that day, Barnes & Noble said in a filing that it had restated its previous financial statements for the years ending April 28, 2012, and April 30, 2011, "in order to correct previously reported amounts."
The company said it had "incorrectly overstated certain accruals for the periods prior to April 27, 2013," related to its distribution center.
Additionally, in a filing on Thursday, the company said that after a review of deferred tax assets and liabilities, it had "concluded" that a deferred tax liability should be reversed.
The bookseller said it is cooperating with the SEC investigation. A Barnes & Noble spokeswoman declined further comment. A spokesman for the SEC also declined to comment.
The news pounded a stock on what is otherwise a big day for equity markets. At $15.15, Barnes & Noble fell 7.6%.

Knowledge and skill for a caring profession
Compared with nursing, few professions offer such engaging work and varied job opportunities. ACC teaches future nurses to provide complete patient care by addressing physical symptoms in addition to mental and emotional wellbeing. There are two ways to earn a nationally accredited Associate of Applied Science degree in Nursing from ACC's competitive and well-respected program. Each degree track is designed for students with varying backgrounds, such as students with prior nursing experience, individuals interested in transitioning from another field of healthcare, or students new to nursing entirely. Graduates are eligible to apply to take the exam for RN licensure.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have not already completed the ACC admissions process, please visit the Future Students page. At the financial aid page you can check your eligibility and submit an application.
This program has specific program requirements and prerequisite courses. Acceptance to ACC does not guarantee admission to this program.
What skills can I gain?
Students can acquire all the knowledge and expertise that leads to the eligibility for Registered Nurse (RN). In addition to assessing patients' symptoms and progress, RNs do procedures, exams, and administer medications and treatments. Students can also learn how to develop and manage nursing care plans while supervising healthcare team members. Students receive a broad educational foundation in the classroom in addition to online training and plenty of hands-on, face-to-face experience in various clinical environments.
How long will it take to get a degree or certificate? And which one is right for me?
ACC offers the following options for earning an associate of applied science degree in nursing:
Traditional Track: This option provides basic nursing education to individuals just starting school, or students who are unlicensed in other areas of healthcare. This program typically requires four semesters of study, not including completion of prerequisite classes.
Mobility Track: Licensed vocational nurses or other healthcare professionals interested in transitioning into the RN role should select this program. It typically requires one year of study. Individuals who have certifications from accredited colleges or universities in the following areas may be accepted into this track: vocational nursing, emergency medical services (paramedic), occupational therapist assistant, physical therapist assistant, medical lab technology, surgical technology, radiology, sonography, dental hygiene, or respiratory therapist assistant.
Where can I work with this education?
Registered Nurses work around the world in hospitals, research laboratories, and doctor's offices, as well as anywhere in the field where nursing care is being provided.
Accredited by The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (3343 Peachtree Road NE, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA 30326, http://www.acenursing.org) and The Texas Board of Nursing (333 Guadalupe St., Suite 3-460, Austin, TX, 512.305.7400; www.bon.state.tx.us)

Focus on Funds
ConvergeEx: Money Entering U.S. Equity ETFs At Rate of $2B Per Day
We've reported earlier this week on the surge of new money flowing into ETFs focused on U.S. equities. But to give you an idea just how fast these funds are attracting money, here a few figures from ConvergEx Group to ponder:
- Over the first 12 trading days of July, money has flowed into ETFs which focus on U.S. equities at a run rate of $2 billion a day. That's almost four times the pace of money flows into U.S. stocks for the first half of 2013.
- The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), which tracks the well-known U.S. stock index, has raked in $12 billion in fresh investment over these first days of July, or an average of $1 billion a day.
- On the fixed-income side of things: This asset class is up $2.7 billion, though the winners here are shorter-duration products. Still, asset classes such as high-yield corporates are back to receiving capital. Over the first 12 trading days of July, ETFs such as iShares iBoxx High Yield Corporate (HYG) and JNK SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (JNK) have received over $600 million in fresh investments.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
In 1902, artist Richard F. Outcault created the Buster
Brown comic strip (retired in the 1920s) about a "little Lord Fauntleroy" child
and his playful dog. Buster was constantly getting into trouble, and being
rescued from his predicaments the help of his little dog, Tige.
Tige (who's name is short for "Tiger") was modeled after Outcault's own pet. Outcault later
franchised the Buster Brown name to a variety of companies, the most notable being Buster Brown shoes.
On the children's program SMILIN' ED'S GANG/NBC/CBS/ABC/1951-55 and ANDY'S GANG/NBC/1955-58 Buster Brown (played by
Jerry Martin) and his dog (voice of Bud Tollefson) appeared during the commercial spots.

Goldman Sachs' David Kostin and his team are out with their monthly chartbook about the economy and stocks. With the S&P 500 above 1,700, he sees another 4% rise through the end of the year and a 7% return in the next twelve months.
But the rising tide won't lift all boats. Kostin also includes a list of forty stocks with the greatest upside and downside potential, based on the firm's target prices.
As for companies with the most upside, Marathon Petroleum (MPC) tops the list, with 63.6%, followed by Autodesk (ADSK), Ventas (VTR), salesforce.com (CRM) and American Tower (AMT). Outside the top five, the list also includes big names like Schlumberger (SLB), Halliburton (HAL), Expedia (EXPE) and General Motors (GM).
On the flip side, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) takes the dubious honor of most overbought: It has 40.3% to fall, based on its Goldman target price. The top five includes Cablevision Systems (CVC) Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Intel (INTC) and U.S. Steel (X). Other big players on the list are Microsoft (MSFT), Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF), and Staples (SPLS).

Who needs a bakery when you can whip up these breakfast treats at home?
Using a spread instead of butter in the streusel topping? Be sure to use one with at least 65% vegetable oil.
Rise to the occasion! If using self-rising flour, there is no need to add baking powder and salt.
Of course you can use frozen blueberries. Use 3/4 cup frozen blueberries that have been thawed and well drained.
