"I knew the rivalry was there," Curran said. "I had a couple friends who were Georgia Tech fans, and they were always obnoxious, but that's what I remember most about Tech."
Curran is a part of a growing breed of Bulldogs fans who have only vague recollections of the last time Tech triumphed over Georgia, and therefore no longer count the Yellow Jackets as their team's biggest rival.
Since head coach Mark Richt took over at Georgia prior to the 2001 season, the Bulldogs have no lost to their neighbors from The Flats.
Even prior to Richt's arrival, Georgia had dominated the series, which began in 1893. Tech won three straight games from 1998 through 2000, but those were the Yellow Jackets only wins since 1990 against the Bulldogs. Meanwhile, conference rivalries against Florida, Tennessee and Auburn have become more of a focal point for a younger generation of Georgia fans who barely recall the Yellow Jackets' late-'90s winning streak, let alone Tech's dominance in the 1950s.
"I'm always hearing from fans that want this game first and foremost," Richt said.
"Usually it's a different generation – maybe a little bit older generation that's more consumed with it, which I can understand why."
This year's meeting, however, has put the Tech rivalry back into the consciousness of many Bulldogs fans. First-year Yellow Jackets coach Paul Johnson has reinvigorated the Tech offense with a quirky triple-option set, and in turn, has reinvigorated the competitiveness with his cross-state rival.
"I'm sure that he's come in and this is probably one his emphasis games this year," Georgia tackle Clint Boling said. "I'm sure he wants to win and get Tech on the right path, but we've just got to keep doing what we're able to do and I think we'll be alright."
While Richt said he doesn't believe the winner of the annual showdown gets a leg up in recruiting, he said the pride and bragging rights that come with a victory outweigh the lack of impact on conference standings or landing top prospects.
This year, however, even more is on the line for both teams.
Tech has a chance to advance to the ACC championship game and turn around its recent fortunes against the Bulldogs. Georgia has already missed its chance to win its conference, but the lure of a top bowl game and another 10-win season provide plenty of motivation.
More importantly, Georgia's seniors will be playing in their final home game at Sanford Stadium, and none want to be remembered as the first senior class to lose to Tech in eight years.
"It's something that's bragging rights," wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi said, "and the older you get, when you become a senior, that's bragging rights for life."
While many of Georgia's stars, including Massaquoi, running back Knowshon Moreno and quarterback Matthew Stafford, come from out of state, they quickly learn just how important it is to retain those bragging rights each season.
Massaquoi, who grew up in Charlotte, compared the animosity between fans to the North Carolina-Duke rivalry in basketball. Stafford said his initiation into the rivalry was one of the highlights of his career.
"I was fortunate enough my true freshman year to come in and be part of one of the better games in this series," Stafford said. "I got a chance to make a play to win that game, and I'll always remember that. It was great last year, too, and hopefully we'll get another win."
In the end, that new tradition of winning is what provides the biggest spark for the Bulldogs. Winning feels pretty good, Boling said, and no one wants to find out what the alternative feels like.
"We don't know what it's like to lose to them, and we don't want to find out either," Boling said. "If we do lose, we'll find out how big a rivalry it is and how bad it really hurts."

No, there are still 3 options. On any of the 3 - just go down to the very bottom of any page - You will see a dropdown menu - either on the left or right, depending on the skin. You can choose between any of the 3 anytime.
I'm using the Hexcell fluid now and it works for me.......but I was using the standard with some options last week. Then it just disappeared? Didn't we have three to choose from for a while and now we only have two, or did I just dream that?

OK, I see what's going on - As an admin, I see it - but regular members can't - so, it looks like JS has limited it down to 2. So, yes, apparently, U do only have the 2 choices now.
I rarely switch - I like the Hexfluid the best.
Hexcell is a good one and I will continue to use it (it's just awfully BRIGHT in the early am, but maybe I need that).
Couldn't find Hexcell Fluid at ProBass shop. Will check with my gunshop tomorrow.

Or, U can order it from the official ShipWreck Company ©Originally Posted by Charlie
For $19.95, you get not just ONE bottle of HexCell Fluid, but you get TWO bottles. If you act now, you also get a box of CCI Blazer casings, and some bubble wrap. And, that's not all.... We'll mail a box of CCI Blazer casings to you every month for ONE YEAR!
Call now, operators are available.

Not legal for sale in California. May cause cancer in laboratory rats if used before 7am on a cloudy day in October.
Does it specify which specific cells it puts a hex on or is it all that you put the fluid on?
Hey, that's secret corporate information - I cannot divulge that information.Originally Posted by Charlie
The formula for Hexcell Fluid will be one sale next week - U must make a seperate purchase to find that out
I looked at tons of skins, and this one and 1 other one were my personal favs. JS was kind enough to go w/ this one after his 1st choice. I am used to it now and don't really think it is too bright. It's still fairly simple compared to some of the real complicated skins, and I think it loads at a decent speed too. Some of the skins take too long to completely load - especially if U have an older computer.Originally Posted by Charlie
Once my eyes get used to it after I power up, I like it!
this stuff sounds comparable to that grouptyte spray.(spray your target before shooting and it keeps the groups nice and small).Its pretty expensive tho..........

Could you do a screen shot of the whole Hexcell front page...? and post it? We seem to being having an issue with the text, but I can't see it on my computer.

Be glad to. Is there a certain section you want as the whole front page doesn't show. I, of course, have to scroll down to get all of it. Lemme' know.
On the main page - put the page to where the "Welcome to the Handgun Forum" section is AND where the Podcast section shows too. That is what we need to see. A very slight downward scroll from the top of the page.
Gimme a minute. Too much glare, got to make some adjustments.
This is what it looks like for me:

Mrs. Deuce's Project Journal
I heard Deuce in here laughing a few times and had to come investigate what is so funny. We have separate computers. He has his desktop and I have a laptop. As a long time high school algebra/trigonometry teacher, I am seeing the same high school type actions I observed for 30 plus years. Past behavior and performance is the best indicator for future behavior and performance.
Deuce told me he felt sorry for the new guy who had just bought a Street beast kit with his father. He thought the experience of building a car with his father could be great and a life long remembrance but that he was afraid that quality the kit car they choose might really spoil the experience. He felt that they lacked the experience and the working space to properly do the kit and enjoy it.
As the wife of a long time hot rodder and a woman who has been to more street rod shows and events than most men, I feel that most rodders know that the kits require a good bit of work and dedication. The new fellow with the kit in question is in for a real eye opening experience. If he gets the kit finished and licensed for street use, then his opinions will carry a lot more creditability.

Health Story: I've Been Given My Life Back
What is anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery?
ACL surgery is the surgical reconstruction or replacement of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The thighbone (femur), shinbone (tibia), and patella (kneecap) meet to form your knee joint. Ligaments connect these bones to each other. Your ACL is one type of knee ligament. It is a band of tough, fibrous connective tissue that stabilizes your knee.
Injuries requiring reconstruction or replacement of the ACL are common, especially among athletes. ACL reconstruction surgery can help restore pain-free range of motion, stability, and function to a knee joint after ACL injury.
ACL surgery is a common but major surgery with risks and potential complications. You may have less invasive treatment options. Consider getting a second opinion about all of your treatment choices before having ACL surgery.
Types of ACL surgery
Injured or torn ACLs do not heal well by sewing the ligament back together. Instead, ACL reconstruction surgery uses a connective tissue graft to rebuild or replace your injured ACL. Both ligaments and tendons are connective tissues. Your body heals around the graft over several months.
The types of ACL surgery procedures include:
Allograft reconstruction. An allograft is a piece of cadaver connective tissue, usually a tendon. Allografts come from a tissue bank. Allograft reconstructions require only one incision and cause less pain than an autograft fusion. However, there is a small risk of serious infection, including HIV and hepatitis.
Autograft reconstruction. An autograft is a piece of your own connective tissue. Doctors usually take an autograft from a piece of the patellar (kneecap) tendon. This is the gold standard for ACL autograft reconstruction. Your patellar tendon will heal itself and re-grow the missing portion over time. Other autograft sites are your hamstring and quadriceps tendons. These sites do not heal as reliably as your patellar tendon. An autograft requires an additional large incision, lengthens surgery time, and causes more post-operative pain than allograft reconstruction.
Synthetic or artificial graft reconstruction. Artificial ligament graft materials have been studied in trials but have not performed as well as human tissue grafts. Synthetic grafts are still experimental at this time.
Xenograft reconstruction. A xenograft is a piece of connective tissue taken from non-human animal sources. Medical scientists are currently conducting human trials of xenograft reconstructions.
Other procedures that may be performed
Your doctor may recommend one or more procedures in addition to ACL surgery:
Meniscectomy is the surgical repair or trimming of a torn meniscus. Your knee has two menisci. They are made of cartilage and function as shock absorbers for your knee joint.
Other ligament reconstructions. Your knee contains four ligaments including your ACL. Other knee ligaments may also need reconstruction depending on your injury.
Patellar realignment is the surgical repositioning of the kneecap.
Synovectomy is the surgical removal of part of an inflamed synovial membrane. Synovial membranes are tissues that line joints, including your knee.

Are You Time Person Of The Year?
Time Magazine's Person Of The Year has been received to huge buzz, because this year, they've decided that this person to follow in the footsteps of folks like Ghandi and Churchill is you.
Time Magazine's Person Of The Year has been received to huge buzz, because this year, they've decided that this person to follow in the footsteps of folks like Ghandi and Churchill is you. Why? Because of all the great things you're doing on the web. All those great blogs and podcasts and video clips. Time writes:
We're looking at an explosion of productivity and innovation, and it's just getting started, as millions of minds that would otherwise have drowned in obscurity get backhauled into the global intellectual economy.
Oh hang on a second.
But you're not all doing that, are you? We can't get more than 2 dozen of you to upload a video of yourself to YouTube – and maybe that's because you're not, yet, part of an in-crowd of pro-am producers making all these changes in the media landscape happen. Nothing wrong in that, of course, it's just Time may have announced your fame a little too early (it's ok, they did that to Hitler too – he got picked as Person of the Year a full year before he marched into Poland).
Influx has some great discussion on this and says,
The problem is that Time isn't really talking about "You", instead, they're highlighting active contributors, or what some people call the One Per Centers; the people with time on their hands to write blogs, do sketch comedy on You Tube, write restaurant reviews, etc. It's an elite group of "creators" motivated by the quest for fame, attention and sometimes, a good old-fashioned desire to help people… In the end, whether "You" really makes it to the big league won't depend on its impact in media and marketing, but instead, the world's of politics and government. When that happens; you will really deserve to be Person of the Year.

An ongoing legal battle pitting advocacy groups against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) over the agency's approval of biotech giant Monsanto's genetically modified sugar beets has Montana producers concerned about the future of their sweet—as in $40 million-plus per year—industry.
On Monday, the comment period ended on the federal government's environmental assessment, which weighs interim guidelines for how it will regulate Monsanto's Roundup Ready sugar beets in 2011 before a court-ordered environmental impact statement (EIS) is completed in mid-2012.
One of the agency's options is to ban Roundup Ready sugar beets until the USDA completes its EIS, in which case sugar beet production in the U.S. would drop, according to a USDA report, by 37 percent. Farmers would revert to conventional seeds. Tom Schwartz, of the Sugar Beet Development Foundation, believes conventional seeds are inferior to Monsanto's genetically engineered varieties, which account for 95 percent of the sugar beets planted in the U.S.
"The conventional seed out there probably wouldn't have all the disease packages and characteristics we would need, nor the yield potential that the current Roundup Ready sugar beet seeds have," Schwartz says.
The Organic Seed Alliance (OSA), one of the plaintiffs in the case, says seed companies—namely Monsanto—would be to blame for the shortage.
"If there is not enough quality conventional sugar beet seed available, this is the fault of seed companies that put profit before farmer choice," says OSA Director Micaela Colley. "Companies had more than a year to plan for this outcome. It's clear USDA improperly approved Roundup Ready sugar beets and continues to dismiss adverse agronomic and economic effects that these sugar beets will have on organic and conventional seeds."
Advocacy groups appear to have momentum on their side. Last week, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White ordered that 256 acres of USDA-approved genetically engineered baby beet plants intended to make seeds for future sugar beet crops be plowed under, an unprecedented move.
"The legality of [the USDA's] conduct does not even appear to be a close question," White wrote.

Working knowledge of standards improves communication with service providers.
A quality repair by a professional service center will yield a motor or pump that will meet just about any vibration specification. Good repair technicians could verify that with a "finger vibrometer." Most maintenance professionals, however, demand a more formal means of verifying acceptably smooth operation.
A few sophisticated plant engineers have developed their own vibration specifications, but most of them reference standards developed by such organizations as the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) for electric motors, the Hydraulic Institute (HI) for pumps and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for motors and pumps. Various industry-specific organizations such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) for refineries and the Submersible Wastewater Pump Association (SWPA) publish vibration standards as well.
Given the scope and diversity of these vibration standards (three examples of which are given below), it's not surprising that sometimes new or repaired pumps or motors appear not to meet the specifications supplied by the customer. Although miscommunication is usually the root cause, such situations typically arise when qualifying criteria are omitted, or the applicable standards are not well understood or are misapplied–for example, the operating conditions are different than prescribed in the referenced standard. A working knowledge of the major vibration standards will, therefore, benefit anyone who specifies motor and pump purchases or repairs, as well as those who require vibration analysis services.
One of the more confusing aspects of vibration tolerances is that each standard uses different criteria to assign acceptable levels. NEMA Standards Publication MG 1: Motors and Generators, for example, sets vibration limits for motors by machine type, whereas ISO standards designate different vibration levels for large rigid foundations and large soft foundations. API bases its tolerances on flow rate, while HI defines them in terms of input power. Just knowing what information you need is a challenge, so briefly reviewing the criteria used by the standards should help.
- HI standards—ANSI/HI Pump Standards list 11 different pump configurations (excluding submersibles) and illustrate the identifying characteristics of each. The vibration velocity limits (inches per second, millimeters per second) for each configuration are based on input power. Submersibles, which are designated by the mounting method, have similar vibration limits that are also based on input power. HI standards for submersibles were developed with cooperation from SWPA, which also references these standards.
- API standards—API standards separate vertical pumps from those that are mounted horizontally. Horizontal pumps are further segregated by speed and absorbed power per stage—above or below 3,600 rpm and 300 kilowatts (400 horsepower) per stage. Absorbed power is based on capacity and head rather than input power. The smaller horizontal group and the vertical group are each assigned a single vibration velocity limit. Pumps over 3,600 rpm or 300 kilowatts (400 horsepower) per stage have vibration velocity limits based on both speed and power.
- NEMA standards—NEMA MG 1 provides no-load vibration levels for standard industrial motors but excludes motors connected to loads. These motor-only standards base vibration velocity limits on the frequency of the vibration and machine type. MG 1 describes machine types in general terms by application.
- ISO standards—ISO publishes standards for general machinery and specifically for rotodynamic (i.e., centrifugal) pumps. The general machinery standard initially included a table of interim vibration limits. This has been superseded by specific limits for general machinery and specific limits for rotodynamic pumps.
The ISO standard provides vibration limits for general machinery in velocity and displacement units, based on machine size (above or below 300 kilowatts/400 horsepower, or above or below shaft height of 315 millimeters /12.4 inches) and mounting (rigid or flexible).
For most rotodynamic pumps, vibration limits are given in velocity units, based on pump size (above or below 200 kilowatts/268 horsepower) and classification (critical or non-critical). Pumps operating below 600 rpm, however, have different vibration limits that are given in displacement units.
ISO vibration limits for rotodynamic pumps apply to close-coupled pumps and motors (since the motor is integral to the pump) but not to separate motors. Therefore, a motor that is coupled to a pump will have different vibration limits than the pump.
Submersible Pumps
Only HI standards provide separate vibration limits for submersible pumps; API and ISO apply the same limits for base-mounted pumps. HI specifies a single transducer mounting at the top bearing (45 degrees radial from the discharge nozzle) and bases the vibration limit on the input power (brake horsepower) and the mounting method. Submersibles that mount on the discharge flange (rail-mounted) are allowed a slightly higher limit than floor-mounted pumps. A further exception of an additional 0.14 inches/second (pk) is allowed for submersibles with single-vane impellers.

In this week's free video, I shed a little light on drawing starbursts and sun rays directly in InDesign. You can draw these fun shapes quickly and precisely by starting with a very simple shape like a triangle.
In this case, the triangle represents a single ray of sun light in one-point perspective. To make the rest of the rays, you simply duplicate the original shape, rotate it, and then use the Transform Again command to create all the copies you want.
In the video, I show you how to add a little scaling, and a little masking via of the Paste Into command, to end up with a sunrise over fields of green.
When it comes to starbursts, you can easily create simple ones with InDesign's Polygon tool. But if you're willing to invest a small amount of extra time to use the Rotate + Transform Again method, you give yourself many more options, including, the ability to create multi-colored starbursts. You can also use more complex starter shapes, and rotate multiple shapes at once to create interesting patterns within the starburst.
For lynda.com members, I also have another new video this week in the lynda.com Online Training Library® called Scaling effects. In Scaling effects I discuss how to scale objects that have Bevel and Emboss applied to them so that the Bevel and Emboss effects scale with the object itself.
I also discuss those other times when you might want to scale just the object and not the Bevel or Emboss effects, and I show you how you can have it either way.
See you here again in two weeks with another InDesign effect!

text: DEL MAR, Calif., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than two decades, Albert Fitzgerald was the secret weapon behind the scenes of Fortune 50 Companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Cisco. Fitzgerald has now said goodbye to the corporate world by unveiling his latest book/CD release " New Hope for Autism - 15 Successful Strategies Moms Don't Know" to help kids and empower moms with loved ones on the autism spectrum. "New Hope for Autism" is published under the pen name of Craig Kendall who is the voice of 1,000s of moms offering real-world advice, tips, tricks and treatments that therapists and doctors don't tell you. "As the Creator of the Craig Kendall series, I surveyed thousands of moms for answers to their most pressing questions. I wasn't interested in taking credit as the author, I wanted to get the information out there to help families have a better life," said Fitzgerald. "My journey with my son on the autism spectrum led me to realize that I could make a much greater contribution with my life than telling Microsoft what the features should be on their new Windows 8 version." Fitzgerald has since sold his market research firm and launched Visions Publishing Inc. in Del Mar CA as the home of the Craig Kendall Series of Books, CD's, videos, websites and newsletters. Hosting his own radio show "Ask the Experts" and creating rich digital content has turned this knowledgebase for moms into a household name. His YouTube channel, alone, has garnered more than ONE HALF MILLION views to date ( www.youtube.com/user/aspergersguide). Today Fitzgerald is using his Wharton MBA and cutting-edge analysis skills to help kids and families with autism rather than helping Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) develop its line of printers, Cisco (CSCO) develop its line of network equipment and Microsoft (MSFT) develop the latest version of Microsoft Office.

Re: Passport Owners Group -Ridiculous
Isn't intelligent Passport owners an oxymoron?
(I'm kidding!!!!)
I can understand your frustration. There's an Allmand owner's group in Google and I hate it. The people are fine, but the UI is horrible, and there is very little traffic, in part, I suspect, because it isn't easy to use. I've been tempted to set up another group somewhere else and see if anyone else will follow or, if as is the case in much of my "non-virtual" life, much of the time, I'd just be talking to myself.
Passport Owners Group -Ridiculous
I tried to join the Passport Owners group (the new Google Group) a while back. Sent several requests to the moderator but never got a reply. I can view and seem to get the digests but I can't post to the group because the moderator is MIA.
I heard another Passport owner tried also and IT TOOK ONE YEAR! before he got a reply to enter the group. WTF?
Since I cannot contact anyone of my fellow Passport owners I'm hoping someone in the group might see my post here. Maybe they could somehow contact someone in charge? I'd be happy to host the entire group on a new owners group forum. I for one have a lot of info to share.
Regardless, the moderator of record for that group has hijacked the group and through laziness has made it irrelevant by never ever doing his duty. I'm kinda pissed. I may try and start a new group with an open architecture and several "intelligent" moderators.

Fixing PS files for import
It would be very appreciated if you could help me with the following
problem. I am trying to prepare a Mathematica graph for import in for
example Ghostview to view it. How do convert the "raw" postscript from
Mathematica to the "ordinary" postscript understood by Ghostview?
I run the Windows version 1.0 of Mathematica v.2 on a PC. This version does
not seem to have a direct way of doing the above.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Andrey Arshavin insists it isn't the end of the world if Arsenal don't finish top of Group H.
The Gunners need Braga to beat Shakhtar in Donetsk to have any chance of topping their Champions League group and the Ukrainians' formidable home record makes that unlikely.
Teams like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich await Arsène Wenger's side should they get the right result against Partizan but finish second. However Arshavin isn't perturbed by the prospect of facing a European giant in the knockout stages.
"We will get a difficult draw, but Arsenal want to win the Champions League and if you want to win it you have to play the best teams, like Barcelona and Real Madrid," said the Russian. "It doesn't matter if it's in the last 16, the Quarter-Finals or the Semi-Finals.
"We've lost two games and now only have the chance to finish second, but what can we do? We have to win tomorrow and see what the draw will give us.
"I think we have no chance of topping the group. I think Shakhtar will be first.
"It's disappointing but we always knew Shakhtar and Braga were good teams, especially at home. Unfortunately they showed that against us."

The Avengers will not have to assemble without Iron Man!
Robert Downey Jr. has signed on to return to the Marvel Universe for two more films - including "The Avengers 2" and an additional third "Avengers" installment, Marvel announced on Thursday.
"'I am Iron Man.' Tony Stark's famous closing line to the very first Iron Man film takes on new life today as Marvel is pleased to announce the signing of Robert Downey, Jr. to reprise the role of the 'billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist,'" Marvel said in a statement posted on their website. "Under the two-picture agreement, Downey will star as Tony Stark/Iron Man in 'Marvel's The Avengers 2' and 'Marvel's The Avengers 3.'"
PHOTOS: Robert Downey Jr.'s 'Iron Man' Photo Album
RDJ's last two Marvel films, "Marvel's The Avengers" (2012) and this year's "Iron Man 3," are among two of the top five grossing films of all time, collectively earning over $2.7 billion internationally to date.
Back in April, Marvel Studios President Kevin Fiege dropped hints about Robert's future with the franchise.
"I don't think Robert will be playing this character for another 30 years, and I certainly hope the character stays in movies for the next 30 years - just like James Bond... It will take a while to fill any shoes, whether it's filmmaker shoes or writer shoes or certainly actor shoes," Kevin told The Huffington Post at the time. "I think Tony Stark is an interesting enough and rich enough character that he can persevere. That being said, I hope that doesn't happen any time soon."
Adding, "It certainly is our plan to continue to have Robert Downey in the persona of Tony Stark for many, many years to come."
"The Avengers 2" is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2015.

Delta held the lead in the Division III team standings following Day One of the state wrestling tournament with 16.5 points Thursday at Value City Arena at Schottenstein Center in front of 11,084 fans.
Waynedale, the Division III state champion last year, is fourth at 12.5 points.
Waynedale senior Zack Nelson (55-0, 126), Waterloo senior J.J. Diven (47-0, 138), Norwayne sophomore Kollin Moore (53-0, 152) and Sandy Valley senior Sam Groff (54-0) all kept their records perfect with opening round victories.
Manchester junior Jacob Hanzel won his match at 285.
They are all three wins away from winning a state title Saturday.

The sixth-year head coach enters his first as the head man anywhere but Kansas State, but plenty of the questions thrown his way were directed to his knowledge of the Big 12 considering the SEC has added a pair of schools from the league in Missouri and Texas A&M.
"Missouri would have been in the top-5 every week had they not played K-State twice," Martin said when asked about the newcomers.
After supplying a laugh to the media in attendance, the coach provided some insight on each school.
"They have a home-court advantage that will immediately allow them to contend for the SEC championship," he said of the Tigers. "And Texas A&M is one of the most underrated programs in the country."
Martin did eventually shed some light on the Gamecocks, but not without more laughs.
When asked about the biggest strength and weakness of his team, he said it was "size." It happens to work both ways for Martin, who made four NCAA tournaments in five seasons at KSU despite often-small units.
"We're small," he said. "We're short. We'll probably end up running under people's legs."
Martin was more serious when he talked at length about Bruce Ellington, his star guard who is currently playing on the gridiron for Steve Spurrier. The Gamecocks' coach was emphatic that he wants Ellington to stay away from the hoops program until the day football season is over. It's obviously a courtesy to Spurrier, but Martin also reminded that Ellington can stay up to date with what the basketball team's doing through electronic means. But, as for on the court work, nada until the last second ticks away on the football team's season.
In discussing the difference between SEC basketball and Big 12 Martin cited the notoriety the conference has gained through football, something that's permeated through to basketball and a number of other sports. He just feels the stakes and attention to detail by fans; players and coaches alike are "bigger." Martin said he first got the SEC fever by watching the University of Florida when he was growing up in Miami. According to Martin, "it was all we had" to watch.
Couple of other quick notes: Martin grew up playing high school ball with Alabama coach Anthony Grant. In fact, Grant is the godfather of his oldest child. He said now that "business is in the way," it's a lot less likely he'll talk to Grant during the season. "It wouldn't be fair to him or to me."

WWII Women Pilots Honored
The New York Times reports that the members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (W.A.S.P.) will receive the Congressional Gold Medal, one of America's highest civilian honors. Out of more than 1,000 female pilots who were the first women to take control of American military planes, the 300 surviving members in addition to the deceased, will receive the medals.
Apparently, during WWII these under recognized women filled in for the short supply of male pilots, but were still considered civilians, receiving no benefits or honors.
Another example of awesome women being a side note of history. I honestly had no idea that this had ever happened — I'd always thought of the big female action in WWII-era America as being when women filled in for men at the factory. It's cool to know that even though it was the '40's, women were still integrated into the action, whether anybody knew about it or not.

Hi! If you're interested in Women during WW II, I recommend the book "Our Mothers' War" by Emily Yellin. The cover photo is actually the one you use here. It talks about women during WW II from all angles – on the homefront, in the military as pilots, nurses, WAVES and WACS – and even prostitutes who were sanctioned by the government to provide services to military men, (then treated terribly). It goes into great depth about the different roles women played during WW II, and is an engaging read (with some cool photos).

They have an awesome exhibit at Arlington National Cemeery on "Fly Girls" from that era.

I love these kind of stories. I love reading about bad-ass women in times when they were expected to be at home cooking up a roast or something.
Also, Julie, I wanted to say thanks for making this website. I'm a teenager and it's really hard finding places that are both hilariously enjoyable and that connect with my feminist ideals. (I've recently found Jezebel, and am avidly investigating all your links!)
Don't let the haters get you down! You're making a difference–promise.
Sara Anderson @ at 5:39 pm, July 15th, 2009
I was amused/horrified when I found out that the fact that these women served was actively covered up. Uh, what? Is it really that threatening to see women as human beings?
julie too @ at 12:58 am, July 16th, 2009
Another great book on women and flight is Stephanie Nolen's "Promised the Moon." It's about the women who were supposed to be in the space program when they were just starting to put humans in space.
Great site! I wish this had been around when I was in high school and everyone called me a feminist. Luckily, I grew up to find out that I was one!
J Hallaran @ at 9:24 pm, February 27th, 2010
I am 57 years old and never knew this before. God bless these great ladies!

Just watched the BBC 4 Programme about the female pilots, incredible. Beeb repeat it, it was amazing!

Vandersteen 2C replace fabric grill cloth
Over a year or so house cats have clawed and scratched the cloth grills on my 2Cs. This is especially bad on the (rounded) corners.
Has anyone obtained and replaced their grill cloths themselves?
Source, cost, procedure?
The top is held on by a dowel at each corner. You can (gently) pry it off. The fabric is held in place with a little bit of glue on top, bottom, and at the binding posts, IIRC...been a while.

are you actually serious?
I am a noob , but have experimented with ubuntu and dual booting is easy on it. I have drive C which is windows xp and using the windows xp disk
I made another partition its called drive E which is not formatted and completely
empty. How can I install backtrack 3 live Cd on drive E and make it work
so when I turn on my computer it shows I can choose to boot xp or backtrack3.
I tried installing it before and it only gave me a choice of backtrack and no
windows , and it failed to boot saying something about the kernal. Can you
guys help me do this properly so it shows both options to boot thanks , also
I wiped drive E clean to start from scratch any help would be greatly appreciated.
There are several threads already posted on the forum explaining in detail exactly how to do this. Here is one good tutorial:
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Be sure to watch the video and print out the transcript from the wiki-- one tutorial thread shows instructions to edit your lilo.conf file putting linux partition as read-write-- this is wrong, as it remounts it automatically read-write after it checks the filesystem as read -only from the lilo.conf file when its unmodified-- and copy the srv file when you get to --cp preserve
Hi all. maybe i am blind (besides the fact that i am dumb newb ;D), but in all those tutorials is installation taken as everyone knows how to do that. i mean to say that in bt3-pre-final there is no installer. i have read all the lilo,qtparted,etc..staff alot of times, but the installation itself isnt described anywhere as far as i see. my HDD looks like this:
The problem is that i dont know where to begin :X. I d be glad for some links which describe what to do because i am completely lost. I want hda6 to be my "/" and hda7 to be the swap partition. They are already formatted as u can see. help me plz O:-)Code:/dev/hda1 * 1 2613 20988891 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 2614 7295 37608165 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 2614 3391 6249253+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda6 3392 5380 15976611 83 Linux /dev/hda7 5381 5511 1052226 82 Linux swap /dev/hda8 5512 7295 14329948+ b W95 FAT32
If i look like an idiot, never mind, i know so =D Thanks
print this transcript and start off at this point:
* (Now you can start installing bt2)
* mkdir /mnt/backtrack
* mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/backtrack/
* mkdir /mnt/backtrack/boot/
* mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/backtrack/boot/
* cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,etc,lib,opt,sbin,va r} /mnt/backtrack/
* (Note: this has to copy 600+MB and takes a little while, so perhaps have a coffee)
* mkdir /mnt/backtrack/{mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
* mount --bind /dev/ /mnt/backtrack/dev/
* mount -t proc proc /mnt/backtrack/proc/
* cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/backtrack/boot/ (command changed to suit new BT 2.0 file location)
* chroot /mnt/backtrack/ /bin/bash (returned /dev/pts/0: no such file or directory)
* (Now you need to alter lilo.conf and write it to the mbr)
* nano /etc/lilo.conf (you can use your favorite editor to do this)
* (strip out all comments for clarity, and end up with lilo.conf as follows
* lba32
* boot /dev/hda
* #message = /boot/boot_message.txt (we may not have this file)
* prompt
* timeout=1200
* change-rules
* reset
* vga=791
* #linux bootable partition config begins
* image = /boot/vmlinuz
* root = /dev/hda4
* label = backtrack2
* read-only
* #linux bootable partition ends
* (note: you can get your bootsplash back by giving the command "makesplash" and adding an initrd line to your lilo.conf. When you do this make sure /boot is mounted)
* #windows bootable partition config begins
* other = /dev/hda1
* label = WindowsXP
* table = /dev/hda
* #windows bootable partition config ends
* (save file)
* lilo -v
* exit
* (now reboot).
search, search, search, man some people get pissed cause we ask dumb questions ( i've done it ALOT) then u r alone....

UST was back at home for the final match of a four-game home stand against Bacone College in Oklahoma. This would mark the first time these two teams have faced off, and both teams came out strong. UST controlled possession, but found it difficult to break through the Bacone defense. Finally, in the 30th minute, Junior Irving Escobedo (#22), broke the tie and pounced on a pass from Omar Alonso (#10) and blasted it past Bacone goalkeeper, H. Hill. The teams went into halftime with UST up 1-0. The shot count was 10-5 in favor of the Celts.
UST struck quickly for the second game in a row to open the second half with Junior Jack Brett (#16), who blasted a free kick in the upper corner from about 28 yards. The game stayed at 2-0 for UST until the 88th minute when Freshman Delano Foster (#8) scored his fourth goal of the year.
The Celts won their 5th game in a row and moved to 7-3 in conference play. The game put UST in 4th place in the Red River Athletic Conference. Alonso moved into the lead for assists with 7 in the RRAC.
Next up, the Celts will take a short break from conference play to face UH-Victoria on Thursday, Oct. 27. Then, UST will wrap up regular season and RRAC play when they face Wiley College for Senior Night on Oct. 30, back at the Houston Amateur Sports Park at 6 p.m.

The manager had retained hope that the Reds could still hijack the move but, after Jose Mourinho confirmed the Basel star is set to join Chelsea, he will monitor other targets.
Mourinho insisted on Friday that - in light of interest from Liverpool - Salah has agreed to join Chelsea, and Rodgers says there are other targets the club can now concentrate on.
"The young guy is a good player. We have tracked him for a number of months, the club has been watching him and I have been to watch him," Rodgers told talkSPORT. "It is one where the agent of the player and the clubs were talking but if the deal can't be done, the deal can't be done.
"He's a boy that is a talent. He is 21 years of age and people saw his qualities in the games against Chelsea and Tottenham in Europe. But you need to have that list [of targets] because if it doesn't work out then you are hoping there are one or two others."
Rodgers acknowledged that the January transfer window is a tough time to do business, but said that he is only interested in signing players who could make an immediate impact.
"I know the club has been working very hard to get players in. I'll leave that to them and see how they get on," he added. "January is a very difficult market. It is hard to bring in players that can improve the team.
"This is a brilliant club and we try to get players in for the now, we need players who can come in now and help us. I'd rather wait and look at our young players than bring in one or two squad players."

--- Notice, only Cody Zeller, who entered a rebuilding situation at Indiana, even averaged double-digit points per game. Nearly all sat around that 9/10 point mark while pulling down about seven rebounds. At somewhere in the mid-20s in minutes per game seems to be the norm as well and while even Cronin himself doesn't know how much Lawrence will play that seems to be a nice jumping off point. It'd be hard to imagine it any differently.
--- Moral of the story, understand the standard impact by any freshman and that one-and-done frosh explosions are rare as hitting a full-court heave.
--- UC popped the surprise extension announcement on us yesterday at the afternoon press conference. I knew something had to be up when the special podium showed up in the media room.
Many things to touch on with this, I'll offer up three:
1) No, these contracts don't amount to much on paper as far as security in keeping coaches. Steve Alford signing a long-term contract extension with New Mexico in the last month before bolting to UCLA 10 days later.
Cronin said it best: "In this business, you are either getting extended or extinguished."
This contract does not mean Cronin couldn't bolt for another school tomorrow. It also doesn't mean he couldn't be bought out by UC tomorrow. What it does mean is Whit Babcock and the administration aren't taking for granted Mick's pronounced commitment to stay as Bearcats head coach his entire career. This is where he wants to be and has never hidden that fact.
Expectations are to win games and make the NCAA Tournament. No contract extension will change that.
"You've got to be a big boy when you take these jobs," Cronin said. "You have to realize that there are expectations and if you don't meet those expectations you won't be running the program very long."
2) By offering this financial commitment (terms yet unreleased) erased any thought Cronin has made poor business decisions by making known his desire to stay at UC instead of holding it back for leverage. Which he could have done.
Coaches hold institutions up for more money all the time. Watch college football every December as all these coaches with bigtime jobs are caught flirting with other schools and suddenly have raises and contract extensions. It's a way to play the game of big-money college athletics. Cronin chose not to.
"I want to reward that (loyalty)," Babcock said.
In fact, Babcock adamantly pointed out Cronin never leveraged for anything or made demands.
3) Hey, even the Reds' Todd Frazier is showing love to Mick after his deal yesterday.
@coachcroninuc love what you do big dawg. Great passion for the game #bearcats-- Todd Frazier (@FlavaFraz21) April 17, 2013
--- Zach Wells of Local12 brought me in to talk about all the ongoings at UC in this Google Hangout last night. Love how relaxed Google went with this product name. Just two dudes hanging out, staring at each other's faces. Easy like Sunday morning. If you have time, pop over to their page to check out the rest of the Hangouts they have done, informative stuff.

text: Steven Moffat reveals Doctor Who nearly ended after David Tennant left The BBC believed the sci-fi series "wouldn't succeed at all" without the tenth Doctor, according to the current showrunner, who cast Matt Smith as Tennant's replacement ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW By Susanna Lazarus Tuesday 27 May 2014 at 1:35PM Doctor Who minus Matt Smith hardly bears thinking about but, according to showrunner Steven Moffat, his bow tie-wearing, fez-sporting Raggedy Man Doctor nearly didn't happen... Speaking yesterday at the Hay Literary Festival, Moffat revealed the BBC were ready to axe the long-running sci-fi series after Smith's predecessor David Tennant and then-showrunner Russel T Davies announced their departure back in 2008. "I think there were plans maybe to consider ending it," said Moffat. "It was Russell T Davies saying, 'You are not allowed to end it' [that kept it going]." He continued, "David owned that role in a spectacular way, gave it an all-new cheeky sexy performance and became a national treasure. So the idea that Doctor Who could go on at all in the absence of David was a huge question. "I didn't realise how many people thought it wouldn't succeed at all. That was quite terrifying when I found out about it later." Moffat also told of his initial reluctance to cast a younger actor as Tennant's replacement – a role that eventually went to then-26-year-old Matt Smith. "I said, 'We are seeing too many young actors'. Then Matt Smith comes in, and this is what happens when you get casting right. "The moment Matt started saying that dialogue, with his strange manners and his extraordinary face, he was a hot young guy but he also looked kind of like your barmy uncle. I said, 'I really like him. What age is he?' They said '26'." continue reading

Keynes, Hayek Preside at Jobs Debate: Caroline BaumCaroline Baum
(Corrects spelling of name in 17th paragraph.)
Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Maybe it was the concurrence of the two articles, or their disparate views, that got me thinking about how little progress we've made.
I'm not referring to the lack of progress in restoring the U.S. economy to health, but to the failure to reach a consensus on what exactly drives growth and fosters economic well-being.
Robert Lucas, a Nobel-winning economist from the University of Chicago, was the subject of the Wall Street Journal's Sept. 24 weekend interview. Lucas is known for applying rational expectations theory -- the idea that people make economic decisions based on past experience and expectations about the future -- to demonstrate why government intervention doesn't have the desired effect.
The next day, Christina Romer, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley, proffered the Keynesian view in the New York Times' Sunday Business section. Romer, who stepped down last year as chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, was arguing for an even larger jobs bill than the $447 billion one Obama proposed. She said policy makers need to determine "which measures will be most effective in putting people back to work."
How exactly do they do that? The determination of effectiveness is a number spit out by an econometric model that is only as good as the assumptions that go into it. Remember Romer's 3.5 million jobs "created or saved" by 2009's $830 billion fiscal stimulus? Tell that to today's 14 million unemployed Americans.
Still Raging
If Lucas is right, the government's best intentions may be fraught with disappointment. Obama's jobs plan, with its temporary tax cuts for employees and employers, won't lead to more spending if workers are afraid of losing their jobs. Nor will it nudge businesses to assume a long-term expense in exchange for a one-time tax credit -- unless they are planning to hire anyway.
Reading Lucas' and Romer's ideas back-to-back made me think about the battle that has dominated the dismal science probably since its inception. EconStories.tv used a rap video to pit the ideas of John Maynard Keynes against those of Friedrich von Hayek, the Austrian (by birth and belief system) free-market economist. The refrain of "Fear the Boom and the Bust," released last year and viewed by 2.7 million people, says it all:
"We've been going back and forth for a century."
(Keynes) "I want to steer markets."
(Hayek) "I want them set free."
Authors Daniel Yergin and Joseph Stanislaw chronicled the ebb and flow of the two schools of thought, one interventionist, the other laissez-faire, throughout the 20th century in their 1998 book, "The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy." PBS turned the book into a superb six-hour series, the first episode of which is titled, "The Battle for Ideas."
That battle still rages. In the 21st century, it was evident in the ex-post analysis of the financial crisis, as the blame for the housing bubble, bust and financial fallout was assigned alternatively to capitalism (greedy bankers) or government policy. It smolders today in Washington as the two parties debate measures to revive the U.S. economy.
Why are we still at this juncture? Hasn't macroeconomics advanced to the point where, before we prescribe medicine for what ails the economy, we can know with a relative degree of certainty whether it helps or hurts?
I talked to many economists about the state of macroeconomics. Their responses, filtered through my own prism, are encapsulated below.
1. Flying Blind
"There's a lot we don't know about macroeconomics and particularly about business-cycle theory," says Harvard's Greg Mankiw.
That's why he begins his "Ec 10" class on the principles of economics -- still Harvard's most popular course -- with microeconomics: "the stuff we do know," such as supply and demand, the utility function and profit maximization. Basic principles, in other words. Things like, if you tax something more, you get less of it. (You can't repeat that often enough.)
2. Inexact Science
Economics is considered to be a social science. Unlike the natural sciences, where one can conduct a controlled study, it's impossible to hold everything else constant in something as complex as an economy. There are too many moving parts to isolate the effect of any single variable, such as infrastructure spending or targeted tax cuts.
Economists have a simple way of dealing with this issue. They publish their findings with the default caveat of "ceteris paribus," or other things being equal, which they never are.
3. Math as Science
Econometricians have tried to make economics appear scientific by dressing it up with mathematics. Models have replaced logic. Economists tell us with a straight face that a specific dollar amount of government spending will generate 1.9 million jobs.
"Stop using decimal points," says Russ Roberts, professor of economics at George Mason University and co-creator, with producer John Papola, of EconStories. "Get rid of the grandiose claims. Go back to first principles." (See No. 1 above.)
4. Good Politics, Bad Policy
It's no coincidence that conservatives tout Hayek's government-do-nothing philosophy while liberals advocate Keynesian stimulus, the bigger the better. Sometimes it's hard to know which is the driver: the policy or the politics.
Often the ideas seem to provide the ammunition for advocating certain policies. You know what they say about guns falling into the wrong hands. By the time the politicians are done with them, the ideas have been subsumed by ideology.
5. Wrong Ballpark
Forget Keynes and Hayek, says Laurence Kotlikoff, professor of economics at Boston University and a Bloomberg View columnist. "The interesting macro that's relevant isn't getting any attention," he tells me. What we're dealing with is "coordination failure."
As Kotlikoff explains it, "there is no auctioneer clearing markets," no place where buyers and sellers can come together.
"Like the agora of ancient Greece?" I ask, hoping to sound smart.
Too literal, he says. There is no forward market for labor, for example. No contingent claims market.
Uh-huh. Now I know I'm out of my depth. Suddenly it's not so hard to see why macroeconomics doesn't have all the answers.

Is amazing!!
I stayed at the Montbleu casino / hotel, it's super cheap to stay there too if you knw someone who's a member. 70 something bucks for 3 nights devided by 4 and it only cost me like 18 bucks. Hott tub in the room need I say more? Not to mention the two tables can easily be jerry rigged into BP tables!
Fire and Ice was great. The food was delecious (i was pretty drunk when I showed up so anything prob woulda tasted good but still)and I had a fire bowl (drink) and must say it was worth the 45 bucks I spent there.
And then there was Cabo Wabo bar / club inside the Harvey's hotel. I've never had so much fun at one place. We showed up pretty keyed from a few rounds of BP inside our room and no one was dancing.. At first we were like "this place is lame". Needless to say we got the dance floor started (im an amazing dancer when im drunk) and next thing I know the whole place was poppin! There were more girls then guys and they were all down to get they're freak on. Oh and the drinks were amazingly cheap. 4 shots and 2 beers for 12 bucks? that was amazing. Oh and everyone was so nice! I was dancing with one of the girls I went with and she smacked another chick in the face (accident while getting her freak on lol blame it on the alcohol!) but this other chick was cool with it and laughed it off. Here in Modesto Cali if were too pull a stunt like that there'd be so much drama!
Kirkwood and Heavenly were pricey, but the boarding was legit. Couldn't do everything I wanted considering part of my group where girls (who are decent and can pretty much ride everything but don't want to touch the diamonds). I did break off and ride the Wall at kirkwood. Pretty awesome.
All in all Tahoe was amazing from the people to the nightlife to the snow. Oh and decently cheap! I spent barley 300? if that.
This is a pretty pointless post but I just wanted to share my expience and see if anyone else has maybe had a great or bad? tahoe trip!
ALL trips are good.....;)

I want to go back to Tahoe, but there are so many other resorts that I want to hit, and I can only really take one week-long snowboard vacation each year, it's unlikely that I'll live long enough to get back there one day...
As a Tahoe local i like to see that you guys had a great time in Tahoe , its a sick place to play in
The Jib Crib - THE WORLD'S BEST INDOOR SNOWBOARD RACK - Home
Indeed it is, I'm seriously debating on moving there. As a local is it just as fun? There's no way all the tourist girls could get old?
there is plenty of fun to be had here :)
Tahoe is always a good time! I'll be there from the 27th-31st.
We are rollin in the end of Feb.
anyone ever been to club vex? I think it's inside the harvey's? i'm not sure but i've heard good things? is it tight?

yeah we went there one night when we were in Tahoe. I remember waiting in a decent-sized line before we could get in and we got there early... drinks were expensive, but very strong. Had a good time there.

Instead of using a graphite anode, this battery uses a titanium dioxide nanotubes anode. This allows the battery to offer 10,000 charging cycles as opposed to the usual 500. And these smaller titanium tubes are cheap and easy to make. The material is found naturally in soil and is commonly used as a food additive or to absorb UV rays in sunscreens. Converting the titanium dioxide from its spherical shape into the thin nanotubes (a thousand times thinner than the diameter of a human hair) is what allows the chemical reactions to run faster.
The new cells could be ready to hit commercial markets by 2016. According to one estimate, the market for lithium ion batteries will be $23.4 billion in two years. These longer-lasting batteries should find a home in smartphones and could make it easier for you to hold on to that handset that you've had for a couple of years, that you don't want to send back to the manufacturer for a new battery.
The technology has already been licensed, and will eventually go into production.

5 Speculative High-Income Stocks - 12462 views
SAN FRANCISCO (Stockerblog) -- If you were to find a stock that has been around since 1898, pays a yield of 5.8%, has paid dividends quarterly since 1995, has increased its dividend in six out of the last 16 years, trades at 10.5 times earnings and just reported a 4.8% increase in revenues, you might think it was one of the blue-chip large-cap stocks that is a member of the S&P 500. But in this case, you would be wrong.
The company is not a large cap, nor even a mid-cap stock. This stock is selling within a couple dollars per share of its 52-week low at less than $10 a share, closing at 9.44 on Friday.
So what is this company? It is the Minnesota based company Hickory Tech Corp. (HTCO). The company is in the business of providing integrated data services, such as fiber, data and Internet, voice and voice-over-Internet protocol, along with distribution of telecommunications and data processing equipment. It also offers local telephone, long distance and directory assistance services.
More From Stockpickr
Hickory Tech has a regional fiber network spanning more than 2,750 route miles serving Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Net debt position improved $5 million for the quarter and $15 million year-to-date. Equipment and broadband revenue increased 12%.
Amazingly, there are lots of low-priced stocks with upside potential that pay dividends, and many have fairly decent yields ranging from 3% to 6%. I gave a presentation at the MoneyShow a few weeks ago about high-dividend stocks, and included a discussion of speculative income stocks. Here are a few more.
Psychemedics (PMD) is an interesting company that pays a yield of 6.1% based on its current price of 7.94. It is a provider of testing services for the detection of abused substances using analysis of samples of hair. The company's services are offered to employers, law enforcement agencies, schools, and nosy parents.
This Massachusetts company was founded in 1985 and has paid quarterly dividends since 1997. The stock trades at 13 times earnings and reported quarterly income growth of 25.2% on a 14.9% rise in revenues. The company is debt free and has $4.6 million in cash.
Lincoln Educational Services (LINC) is in the private education business and owns the Lincoln Technical Institute, Lincoln College of Technology, Lincoln College of New England, Nashville Auto-Diesel College, Southwestern College, Clemens College and Euphoria Institute of Beauty Arts and Sciences. The stock yields 10.5% based on its current closing price of 9.55. The company just started paying quarterly dividends in 2010.
Lincoln Educational has suffered along with all the other private college businesses due to government crackdown on promises made to potential students and related issues. The company reported a 62.6% drop in quarterly earnings. The company was founded in 1946 and is based in New Jersey.
Tal International (TAL), founded in 1963, is in the business of leasing intermodal containers, and yields 7.7% based on the current stock price of 28.37. Dividends have increased every quarter for the last six quarters. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.7. Earnings for the latest quarter increased 398% (albeit from a very low amount last year) on an earnings increase of 37.6%.
Have you seen those guys that advertise on TV telling you that you can have $2500 in your checking account tomorrow? QC Holdings (QCCO) is one of the companies involved in payday loans. The stock, which closed at 3.88 on Friday, yields 5%, and has been paying quarterly dividends for five years. The stock trades at 6.6 times earnings. Latest quarterly earnings were down substantially, over 98%.

U.S. luxury spending grows, wealthy are happy-survey
By Michelle Nichols
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Spending on luxury goods by affluent Americans is forecast to grow by $28 billion in 2010, experts said on Wednesday, and the wealthy are happy despite most believing the United States is still in recession.
The "Survey of Affluence and Wealth in America" found luxury spending would rebound for the first time in three years, led by purchases of automobiles, services, travel and children's clothing.
But the online poll of 1,900 households with an average annual income of more than $235,000 by American Express Publishing and Harrison Group showed 94 percent still believe the United States is in recession.
The households surveyed between January and April represent 10 percent of Americans and 50 percent of all retail sales.
"Interest in luxury is trending up, but this interest is qualitatively different from the unbridled enthusiasm that characterized ... the mid-2000s," said Jim Taylor, Harrison Group's vice chairman. "People take pride in the way they have managed their finances and family through the recession."
"We think it's going to be a pretty good Christmas (for retailers)," he said.
And this pride had led to happiness among the rich, with 71 percent saying they are happy, up from 40 percent in 2007.
"It's because they didn't know they could survive something this bad," Taylor told the Luxury Marketing Council of New York on Wednesday. "They have got competent, they have gotten close to their family, they have self-esteem from their ability to handle a crisis." Continued...
