Memphis-based International Paper Co. reported net earnings Thursday, May 2, of $318 million for the first quarter of 2013, a $130 million increase from a year ago.
International Paper Co., whose headquarters is at 6400 Poplar Ave., reported net earnings of $318 million for first quarter 2013, up $130 million from a year ago.

Quarterly net sales for International Paper of $7.1 billion were up $400 million from a year ago but the same as for the fourth quarter of 2012.
IP chairman and CEO John Faraci told analysts on a morning conference call the overall performance for the quarter was "muted by seasonally slow demand across our global operations, weak earnings from xpedx and an unfavorable foreign exchange swing at Ilim."
Ilim is International Paper's joint venture in Russia with Ilim Pulp, the largest forest products corporation in Russia. It is the largest capital project IP has ever undertaken and Faraci said there will be "significant" start-up costs.
In the first quarter, Faraci described the most significant part of the headwinds for International Paper as "a non-cash foreign exchange swing at our Ilim joint venture to a weaker ruble."
"Ilim's got a sizeable amount of U.S. dollar debt," he added.
The effect was equity losses of $11 million for the quarter in that segment of International Paper compared to $8 million in equity earnings in the last three months of 2012.
For xpedx, IP's North American paper distribution and commercial printing company, the first quarter of the year showed an operating profit of $2 million compared to $11 million in the fourth quarter 2012.
International Paper executives announced last month the company is in talks with Unisource of Atlanta about a possible merger. Unisource approached IP about the merger, which would create a new spin-off publicly traded company.
Faraci commented for the first time Thursday on the merger talks since both companies announced the talks were underway.
"There is a lot of overlap," he said in response to a question from an analyst on the conference call. "When there's a lot of overlap, there's a lot of redundant functional cost you can take out. There's a lot of warehouse space that's going to be consolidated."
Some of the upside to a merger is reaching goals that seemed simple but that neither company could get to on its own.
"There's a lot of opportunity here to do some things that are blocking and tackling," Faraci said. "They are time consuming and they're not easy but it's not new stuff."
The first quarter results reflected the ongoing impact of International Paper's completion of a long-term review and overhaul of its operations that peaked with the announcement in 2012 of its acquisition of Temple-Inland of Austin, Texas, which had been a major competitor of IP.
The first quarter results also reflected larger global economic trends including excess capacity in Asia where the slowdown in China's economic growth has continued to affect U.S.-based businesses with a global reach.
In the industrial packaging segment, IP saw higher selling prices for boxes and containerboard in North America that was offset by the slow demand that is normal for the first quarter.
A new biomass boiler at the IP operation in Brazil improved operating costs in printing papers.
Unexpected problems at IP's Augusta, Ga., coated paperboard mill in January upped operating costs for consumer packaging products.

text: Dear Colleague, LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, is a newly proposed space mission that will answer fundamental questions about the motion of matter orbiting close to the event horizon of a black hole, and the state of matter in neutron stars. LOFT was recently selected by ESA as one of the four M3 mission candidates that will compete for a launch opportunity at the start of the 2020s. During this assessment phase we need to make a full study of the exciting science that could be done with such a telescope, and solidify the relationship between the science goals and the technical requirements. To do this, and to solicit full involvement from the wider astronomical community in this opportunity, there will be a LOFT Science meeting on October 26-28 this year at the Science Park in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. There will be a mix of invited reviews, contributed talks, and discussion sessions, to ensure that innovative science ideas get full exposure. To register, and for more details, please see the meeting website: http://www.isdc.unige.ch/loft/index.php/meetings/loft-science-meeting If you would also like to subscribe to the LOFT supporters newsletter, you can do this via the LOFT website: http://www.isdc.unige.ch/loft/index.php/structure-of-the-consortium/loft-newsletter We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam in October!

Replacing switch plates with these Insulated 2-switch Wall Plates is a simple way to help minimize heating and cooling costs. Installation is fast, easy, and inexpensive. All you have to do is unscrew and remove the old wall plate, and then screw the insulated one into place. The reduction in your heating and cooling consumption will pay for these insulated covers in a short time!
Because of direct exposure to hot and cold winds the outside walls of your home are exposed to drafts. The drafts flow through the inside walls via plumbing and electrical chases and can then leak through the interior outlets and switches. All of your home's outlets and switches, even those on interior walls, can allow drafts.
Each cover is made of high strength plastic, and provided with an oversize insulated seal to stop air leaks and drafts.
This product is also available in Ivory, sold separately.

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Winwood?
From: "A Dreamer of Pictures: Neil Young" by David Downing. (page 54) -
"There were good musical reasons for adding SOMEONE. First and foremost they needed some help to take their music out on the road. ... For an electric band they would need either another guitarist or a keyboard player, preferably someone who was both. The first choice was Stevie Winwood, at that time between legs of Blind Faith's one, immensely lucrative tour of the US. Stills and drummer Dallas Taylor went to see him in England, trudging through knee-deep mud to Winwood's country cottage, only to find that this particular member of rock's first supergroup had already had enough of such aggregations."
From the CSN retrospective boxed set:
Stephen Stills: "Stevie Winwood was always my favorite singer, that blue-eyed soul sound. It had been our ambition from the start to convince him to join Crosby, Stills and Nash - I wanted an organ player who could sing the blues. He was exceptionally kind to me, but everytime I trudged across the moors to see him, he was always occupied. I didn't think there was anyone more shy than me – the phrase painfully shy was invented for this man. We recorded "Dear Mr. Fantasy" a number of times, beginning in 1970. It was intended as a homage. Hats off, Stevie."

A fun way to spread the Love
I found this adorable white foam Cupid at Hobby Lobby for super cheap. I painted it red then sprinkled a red glitter coat on it. It could easily be used as a foam stamp too so you could use it for many projects.
Once I had my base papers down and the cupid and title positioned but not adhered... it was time to add all the fun little pockets to hold the tags. I cut 14 1 3/4" squares for these then machine stitched only the three sides down on the layout to keep them really secured. Once I got the pockets down then I glued everything else on. This layout is going to get a lot of touchy-feely love from my kids over the next few weeks so I want to make sure it will stay together. I went thru and added a tag in all the pockets. Each one has a sweet way to show some love written on it.
Supplies used: Crush Heart Die Cut, Crush Sugar, Crush 6x6 paper pad, Crush, Crush Cut-Outs, Crush Noteworthy, Pink Ruffle Wrap, Crush Brads, Licorice Double Dot Cardstock, Licorice Double Dot Ribbon, Passion Fruit Double Dot Ribbon, Cranberry Double Dot Ribbon

Most folks who know me can attest that I love being outside.
My idea of a vacation isn't sitting up in a hotel for a week — it's putting my clothes, food and tent in a backpack and hoofing it several miles through the woods for a few days.
Heck, each year after the fair I retreat to a favorite campground or trail to relax for a week or so.

Welcome to Bugzilla 3.2! This is our first major feature release since Bugzilla 3.0, and it brings a lot of great improvements and polish to the Bugzilla experience.
If you're upgrading, make sure to read How to Upgrade From An Older Version. If you are upgrading from a release before 3.0, make sure to read the release notes for all the previous versions in between your version and this one, particularly the "Notes For Upgraders" section of each version's release notes.
This section describes what's changed in the most recent bug-fix releases of Bugzilla after 3.2. We only list the most important fixes in each release. If you want a detailed list of everything that's changed in each version, you should use our Change Log Page.
This release also contains a security fix. See the Security Fixes Section for details.

This release contains several security fixes. One fix may break any automated scripts you have that are loading process_bug.cgi directly. We recommend that you read the entire Security Advisory for this release.
Any requirements that are new since 3.0.5 will look like this.
Perl v5.8.1
The following perl modules, if installed, enable various features of Bugzilla:
|Enables Feature
|Automatic Update Notifications
|Graphical Reports
|Graphical Reports
|Graphical Reports
|Graphical Reports, New Charts, Old Charts
|Inbound Email
|Inbound Email
|LDAP Authentication
|More HTML in Product/Group Descriptions

|New Charts, Old Charts
|Optionally Convert BMP Attachments to PNGs
|Patch Viewer
|RADIUS Authentication
|SMTP Authentication
|XML-RPC Interface
Bugzilla 3.2 has had some UI assistance from the NASA Human-Computer Interaction department and the new Bugzilla User Interface Team.
In particular, you will notice a massively redesigned bug editing form, in addition to our new skin.
Bugzilla 3.2 now ships with a skin called "Dusk" that is a bit more colorful than old default "Classic" skin.
Upgrading installations will still default to the "Classic" skin--administrators can change the default in the Default Preferences control panel. Users can also choose to use the old skin in their Preferences (or using the View :: Page Style menu in Firefox).
The changes that Bugzilla required for Dusk made Bugzilla much easier to skin. See the Addons page for additional skins, or try making your own!
You can now customize the list of statuses in Bugzilla, and transitions between them.
You can also specify that a comment must be made on certain transitions.
Bugzilla 3.2 has support for three new types of custom fields:
Bugzilla now comes with a script called install-module.pl that can automatically download and install all of the required Perl modules for Bugzilla. It stores them in a directory inside your Bugzilla installation, so you can use it even if you don't have administrator-level access to your machine, and without modifying your main Perl install.
checksetup.pl will print out instructions for using install-module.pl, or you can read its documentation.
Bugzilla 3.2 contains experimental support for using Oracle as its database. Some features of Bugzilla are known to be broken on Oracle, but hopefully will be working by our next major release.
The Bugzilla Project, as an open-source project, of course does not recommend the use of proprietary database solutions. However, if your organization requires that you use Oracle, this will allow you to use Bugzilla!
The Bugzilla Project thanks Oracle Corp. for their extensive development contributions to Bugzilla which allowed this to happen!
Bugzilla 3.2 now has advanced UTF-8 support in its code, including correct handling for truncating and wrapping multi-byte languages. Major issues with multi-byte or unusual languages are now resolved, and Bugzilla should now be usable by users in every country with little (or at least much less) customization.
Administrators can now specify that users who are in certain groups should have an icon appear next to their name whenever they comment. This is particularly useful for distinguishing developers from bug reporters.
These are either minor enhancements, or enhancements that have very short descriptions. Some of these are very useful, though!
ssl parameter now protects
every page a logged-in user accesses, when set to "authenticated sessions."
Also, SSL is now enforced appropriately in the WebServices interface when
the parameter is set.
max_packet_size in MySQL to add large attachments. However,
you may need to set it manually if you restore a mysqldump into your
shutdownhtml parameter now works even when Bugzilla's database server is down.
Once you have read the notes above, see the Upgrading documentation for instructions on how to upgrade.
There are more code hooks in 3.2 than there were in 3.0. See the documentation of Bugzilla::Hook for more details.
Bugzilla/Search.pm has been heavily modified, to be much easier to read and use. It contains mostly the same code as it did in 3.0, but it has been moved around and reorganized significantly.
As part of implementing install-module.pl, Bugzilla was given a local lib directory which it searches for modules, in addition to the standard system path.
This means that all Bugzilla scripts now start with
use lib qw(. lib); as one of the first lines.
get_status('NEW') instead of
status_descs.NEW in templates.
[%# version = 1.0 %] comment at the top of every
template file has been removed.
Welcome to Bugzilla 3.0! It's been over eight years since we released Bugzilla 2.0, and everything has changed since then. Even just since our previous release, Bugzilla 2.22, we've added a lot of new features. So enjoy the release, we're happy to bring it to you.
If you're upgrading, make sure to read How to Upgrade From An Older Version. If you are upgrading from a release before 2.22, make sure to read the release notes for all the previous versions in between your version and this one.
This section describes what's changed in the most recent bug-fix releases of Bugzilla after 3.0. We only list the most important fixes in each release. If you want a detailed list of everything that's changed in each version, you should use our Change Log Page.

Any requirements that are new since 2.22 will look like this.
The following perl modules, if installed, enable various features of Bugzilla:
|Enables Feature
|Automatic Update Notifications
|Graphical Reports
|Graphical Reports
|Graphical Reports
|Graphical Reports, New Charts, Old Charts
|Inbound Email

Bugzilla now includes very basic support for custom fields.
Users in the admin group can add plain-text or drop-down custom fields. You can edit the values available for drop-down fields using the "Field Values" control panel.
Don't add too many custom fields! It can make Bugzilla very difficult to use. Try your best to get along with the default fields, and then if you find that you can't live without custom fields after a few weeks of using Bugzilla, only then should you start your custom fields.
Bugzilla 3.0 supports mod_perl, which allows for extremely enhanced page-load performance. mod_perl trades memory usage for performance, allowing near-instantaneous page loads, but using much more memory.
If you want to enable mod_perl for your Bugzilla, we recommend a minimum of 1.5GB of RAM, and for a site with heavy traffic, 4GB to 8GB.
If performance isn't that critical on your installation, you don't have the memory, or you are running some other web server than Apache, Bugzilla still runs perfectly as a normal CGI application, as well.
Users can now choose to "share" their saved searches with a certain group. That group will then be able to "subscribe" to those searches, and have them appear in their footer.
If the sharer can "bless" the group he's sharing to, (that is, if he can add users to that group), it's considered that he's a manager of that group, and his queries show up automatically in that group's footer (although they can unsubscribe from any particular search, if they want.)
In order to allow a user to share their queries, they also
have to be a member of the group specified in the
querysharegroup parameter.
Users can control their shared and subscribed queries from the "Preferences" screen.
You can now add an attachment while you are filing a new bug.
You can also set flags on the bug and on attachments, while filing a new bug.
You can now customize the list of resolutions available in Bugzilla, including renaming the default resolutions.
The resolutions
MOVED have a special meaning to Bugzilla,
though, and cannot be renamed or deleted.
You can now grant users editbugs and canconfirm for only certain products. You can also grant users editcomponents on a product, which means they will be able to edit that product including adding/removing components and other product-specific controls.
There has been some work on the user interface for Bugzilla 3.0, including:
Bugzilla now has a Web Services interface using the XML-RPC protocol. It can be accessed by external applications by going to the xmlrpc.cgi on your installation.
Documentation can be found in the Bugzilla API Docs, in the various Bugzilla::WebService modules.
Bugzilla can have multiple "skins" installed, and users can pick between them. To write a skin, you just have to write several CSS files. See the Custom Skins Documentation for more details.
We currently don't have any alternate skins shipping withBugzilla. If you write an alternate skin, please let us know!
As long as you are logged in, when viewing a bug, if you cannot change a field, it will not look like you can change it. That is, the value will just appear as plain text.
All outbound emails are now controlled by the templating system.
What used to be the
newchangedmail and
parameters are now all templates in the template/ directory.
This means that it's now much easier to customize your outbound emails, and it's also possible for localizers to have more localized emails as part of their language packs, if they want.
We also added a
mailfrom parameter to let you set
who shows up in the
From field on all emails that
Bugzilla sends.
Users of Bugzilla will sometimes accidentally submit a bug twice, either by going back in their web browser, or just by refreshing a page. In the past, this could file the same bug twice (or even three times) in a row, irritating developers and confusing users.
Now, if you try to submit a bug twice from the same screen (by going back or by refreshing the page), Bugzilla will warn you about what you're doing, before it actually submits the duplicate bug.
You can specify a list of users who will always be added to the CC list of new bugs in a component.
You can now file or modify bugs via email. Previous versions of Bugzilla included this feature only as an unsupported add-on, but it is now an official interface to Bugzilla.
For more details see the documentation for email_in.pl.
There is now a parameter called globalwatchers. This is a comma-separated list of Bugzilla users who will get all bug notifications generated by Bugzilla.
Group controls still apply, though, so users who can't see a bug still won't get notifications about that bug.
Bugzilla users running MySQL should now have excellent UTF-8 support if they turn on the utf8 parameter. (New installs have this parameter on by default.) Bugzilla now correctly supports searching and sorting in non-English languages, including multi-bytes languages such as Chinese.
If you belong to the admin group, you will be notified when you log in if there is a new release of Bugzilla available to download.
You can control these notifications by changing the upgrade_notification parameter.
If your Bugzilla installation is on a machine that needs to go through a proxy to access the web, you may also have to set the proxy_url parameter.
When you log in for the first time on a brand-new Bugzilla installation, you will be presented with a page that describes where you should go from here, and what parameters you should set.
Firefox 2 users and Internet Explorer 7 users will be presented with the option to add Bugzilla to their search bar. This uses the QuickSearch syntax.
These are either minor enhancements, or enhancements that have very short descriptions. Some of these are very useful, though!
X-Bugzilla-Target-Milestone, and
You can look at an email to get an idea of what they contain.
X-Bugzilla-Reason email header
which tells you why you got an email, if you got an email because

links to a bug, you will see the title of the
bug. Of course, this only works for bugs in your
Bugzilla installation.
REMIND and
LATER are no longer part
of the default list of resolutions. Upgrading installations will
not be affected--they will still have these resolutions.
Bugzilla contains a minor security fix. For details, see the Security Advisory.
Bugzilla contains one security fix for importxml.pl. For details, see the Security Advisory.
Bugzilla 3.0.4 contains three security fixes. For details, see the Security Advisory.
No security fixes in this release.
Bugzilla 3.0.1 had an important security fix that is critical for public installations with "requirelogin" turned on. For details, see the Security Advisory
Bugzilla 3.0 had three security issues that have been
fixed in this release: one minor information leak, one hole only
exploitable by an admin or using
email_in.pl, and one in an
uncommonly-used template. For details, see the
Security Advisory.
Once you have read the notes above, see the Upgrading documentation for instructions on how to upgrade.
In previous versions of Bugzilla, Bugzilla::Config held all the paths for different things, such as the path to localconfig and the path to the data/ directory.
Now, all of this data is stored in a subroutine, Bugzilla::Constants::bz_locations.
Also, note that for mod_perl, bz_locations must return absolute (not relative) paths. There is already code in that subroutine to help you with this.
Bugzilla now supports a code hook mechanism. See the documentation for Bugzilla::Hook for more details.
This gives Bugzilla very advanced plugin support. You can hook templates, hook code, add new parameters, and use the XML-RPC interface. So we'd like to see some Bugzilla plugins written! Let us know on the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list if you write a plugin.
If you need more hooks, please File a bug!
Bugzilla now ships with all of its perldoc built as HTML. Go ahead and read the API Documentation for all of the Bugzilla modules now! Even scripts like checksetup.pl have HTML documentation.
The old file globals.pl has been eliminated. Its code is now in various modules. Each function went to the module that was appropriate for it.
Usually we filed a bug in bugzilla.mozilla.org for each function we moved. You can search there for the old name of the function, and that should get you the information about what it's called now and where it lives.
In normal perl, you can have code like this:
my $var = 0; sub y { $var++ }
However, under mod_perl that doesn't work. So variables are no longer "shared" with subroutines--instead all variables that a subroutine needs must be declared inside the subroutine itself.
The old SendSQL function and all of its companions are gone. Instead, we now use DBI for all database interaction.
For more information about how to use DBI with Bugzilla, see the Developer's Guide Section About DBI
The Bugzilla::Auth family of modules have been completely re-written. For details on how the new structure of authentication, read the Bugzilla::Auth API docs.
It should be very easy to write new authentication plugins, now.
There is a new base class for most of our objects, Bugzilla::Object. It makes it really easy to create new objects based on things that are in the database.
Bugzilla.pm used to cache things like the database
connection in package-global variables (like $_dbh).
That doesn't work in mod_perl, so instead now there's a hash
that can be accessed through
to store things for the rest of the current page request.
You shouldn't access
Bugzilla->request_cache directly,
but you should use it inside of Bugzilla.pm if you modify
that. The only time you should be accessing it directly is if you need
to reset one of the caches. Hash keys are always named after the function
that they cache, so to reset the template object, you'd do:
delete Bugzilla->request_cache->{template};.
checksetup.pl has been completely re-written, and most
of its code moved into modules in the Bugzilla::Install
namespace. See the
documentation and Bugzilla
bug 277502 for details.

Although asian soybean rust was first discovered in the United States in 2004, it has yet to inflict widespread economic disaster on the U.S. soybean market. However, Asian soybean rust still looms over U.S. soybean producers. "Under the right conditions, rust could have an economic impact in some regions," says Robert Wisner, agricultural economist at Iowa State University.
What has worked in producers' favor the past two years is the weather. Spores have been found overwintering in the extreme southern United States, but the hot, dry weather — conditions that have plagued the Southeast over the past two years — has minimized the disease spread. Soybean rust prefers temperatures of 68° to 73° and 6 to 12 hours of wet conditions. "Just perfect for the disease to take off," notes Eric Tedford, technical brand manager for fungicides at Syngenta.
Although the South has been dry, that's not the norm. "We have to be careful and not base our long-term understanding of how this disease works on the past two years," says Gary Fellows, technical marketing manager at BASF. "A cool, wet spring in the South could significantly change the rust outlook for the growing season."
Pay attention
What to watch for, experts say, is where rust is first detected. "Producers really need to pay attention to what's occurring in the southern United States," says Shawn Conley, soybean specialist at Purdue University.
How quickly rust develops and moves into the Delta and south Texas, combined with the wind patterns, will dictate how the spores move. "If rust develops in Florida and South Carolina, past models indicate that Midwest producers aren't likely to see the disease," Conley says. "But if we see the disease in Louisiana and Texas, wind patterns typically push the spores up through the Mississippi River, moving up through Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and into Indiana and Illinois."
In 2006, soybean rust was found in 274 counties in 15 states, including Illinois and Indiana.
Producers have been aided in their soybean rust watch by a network of soybean rust sentinel plots scattered throughout the United States. These plots, which numbered 753 in 35 states last year, are the canary in the coal mine for producers on the lookout for rust. The entire industry has created this network to provide an up-to-the-minute assessment of rust spore movement.
Tools for control
The industry also has responded with an assortment of fungicides that work well as both preventative and curative sprays. "There are adequate supplies of chemicals available, and we have a good knowledge of the disease," Fellows says. "There are a lot of excellent tools out there to control rust, and we've learned a lot more about the disease over the past few years."
Disease management will depend greatly on location. For southeastern soybean producers, this could mean constant monitoring and preventative fungicide treatments throughout the growing season. This has been occurring, and producers have seen an additional advantage of controlling other crop diseases. "One thing that we have learned is that the fungicides available do a nice job of fighting a broad spectrum of diseases," says Randy Myers, fungicide product manager at Bayer CropScience.
Farther north, however, the risk of the disease diminishes, and producers can take a wait-and-see approach. "But if soybean rust is starting to move, that's a different situation," Myers says.
Each year, soybean rust finds its way further north into the United States. So far, the damage has been minimal. "Will soybean rust ever be a problem in the major soybean producing regions of the United States? Hopefully not, but it is still too early to know for sure," Conley says. "Right now there is an early warning system in place, so the disease probably won't come up and bite us. Unless we stop looking for it."

A prolific group of IWV youth football players has the chance to end their careers on top of the High Desert. The IWV Seniors face Adelanto on Saturday at Barstow High in the Super Bowl, riding a 22-game winning streak into the championship game.
A prolific group of IWV youth football players has the chance to end their careers on top of the High Desert. The IWV Seniors face Adelanto on Saturday at Barstow High in the Super Bowl, riding a 22-game winning streak into the championship game.
"This season has been really special for us," IWV Seniors head coach Jason Griffin said. "It will be a very emotional season ending for me, just because we've had these guys for so long — this is the best group of kids that I've coached."
The senior team's undefeated streak extends to the 2011 postseason — the Burros haven't lost a game over the past two seasons and have an 11-0 record this season. Twenty-eight players are on this year's roster, including 15 players new to the team.
"The kids know how to win — they know how to put together a win and they know the game of football," Griffin said. "Rather than just going out and running plays, they know why we're doing what we're doing."
A victory over Adelanto (10-1) on Saturday would put a perfect cap on the senior team's youth football careers. Griffin has been with this Burros' group since they came in as mitey mites, said the team badly wants a second straight championship.
"They talk about it all the time. That's all they've talked about for the past two weeks — just getting it done," Griffin said. "The atmosphere this week is starting to change already. They're really laid back, but when it's time they go to work."
Austin Griffin quarterbacks a Burros' offense that averaged more than 40 points per game in the regular season, and runs six different sets ranging from Double Wing to a four-receiver spread. On the ground, IWV runs with a trio of backs — Javon Johnson, Antonio Ramirez and Evan Hernandez.
"We can go inside or outside — we have a great variety of plays," Griffin said.
The senior team's offensive line of Nick Farris, Grant Vigneault, Brock Mather and Wyatt Soto sets the tone when the Burros have the ball. Griffin said the Burros' line controls the line of scrimmage week in and week out.
"Our offensive line is the best in the league by far," Griffin said.
Defensively, the senior team allowed 10 yards total in the first seven games of the season. Linebackers Jonathan Villa and Jack Sherritt along with linemen Brian McKinney and Soto bolster a dominating unit up the middle.
Saturday's Super Bowl is a rematch of a regular season game on Oct. 12 that IWV won 35-8. Both teams were undefeated headed into that game, and the loss was the Saints' only defeat of the season.
"Our defense just flat out shut them down — we made one mental mistake on a pass coverage and that's how they scored," Griffin said. "For the first time I thought we were more athletic than them — usually they're the more athletic team."
The Saints' strength offensively is running between the tackles, though they had trouble getting the ground game going in the first meeting. As a result, Griffin said he expects Adelanto to throw the ball more in the championship rematch.
"They only way teams have been successful against us has been passing, so I would expect them to pass the ball," Griffin said. "We've worked hard over the past two to three weeks on our pass coverage and really stepped it up — I'm hoping they do try to throw the ball on us, and we'll end up getting some picks."
Win or lose, this group of players will end its youth football careers at Barstow High on Saturday. That makes their championship finale in IWV uniforms a little bittersweet.
"They're the most focused kids, and we're extremely family oriented," Griffin said. "These kids are more like a family than they are a team — they're extremely close."
The IWV Seniors face Adelanto in the Super Bowl on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Barstow High. After those 40 minutes, this group will move up to the freshman level at Burroughs High next fall to begin what has the chance to be a special four years.
"With the coaching they're going to have up there, I really see them going deep into CIFs and even winning a Mojave River League championship if they perform well and stay together as a unit," Griffin said. "They're a special group, and Burroughs is going to have a gift coming."

The American Cancer Society on Friday urged smokers who have smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for 30 years -- and those with a similar history who have quit within 15 years -- to talk to their physician about getting a yearly chest CT scan that can detect lung cancer while it can still be treated. Patients as young as 55 and as old as 74 should consider getting the yearly scans if they are considered at high risk for developing lung cancer, the organization announced.
The influential group's recommendation comes in the wake of mounting evidence that low-dose spiral CT scans of the chest are more likely to detect newly established lung tumors than are chest X-rays, which have long been used to diagnose lung cancer. The National Lung Screening Trial, published in 2011, found that, on average, if five people at high risk of lung cancer get a yearly CT scan, the new screening regimen will prevent a single lung-cancer death.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women, claiming more lives yearly than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined. In 2009--the last year for which data are available--206,000 Americans got a lung cancer diagnosis and roughly 158,000 patients died of the disease. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer. While it has shown a steady modest decrease in men in the past decade, lung cancer diagnoses in women have remained steady.

"The Invisible Man" show was the creation of Ralph Smart, who later went on to make the great "Danger Man" ("Secret Agent" in the US) series with Patrick McGoohan. A young Brian Clemens worked as a writer on "The Invisible Man," as well; Clemens is responsible for a number of classic action-adventure British TV series of the 1960s and 1970s, such as "The Avengers," "The Protectors," "The Professionals," and "The Persuaders." Despite such an impressive pedigree, however, "The Invisible Man" didn't impress: one syndicated TV columnist dismissed it out of hand as "juvenile" fare, while another writer for UPI called it "really more of a short-circuit" than "a shocker." The critic goes on to say that "it's not that there isn't a kernel of an idea in the Invisible Man bit. Witness the crackly old Claude Rains movie." The TV series, however, is "completely uncrackly" because the writing "is simply absurd-- heavy-footed and clodpated."
In addition to the crackly writing, you also have to marvel at some of the performances that Whale drew from his cast. Claude Rains' Jack Griffin dominates the proceedings with his manic mood swings from growling threats to hysterically over-the-top proclamations ("Even the Moon is frightened of me!"), all of which is punctuated by his tittering cackles and megalomaniacal braying. I find these outbursts to be equally unnerving and funny during his freak-outs, and it's hard to keep your eyes off of this see-through terrorist. But I also really like William Harrigan's performance as Kemp in the almost totally wordless scenes when he first encounters the unseen naked maniac. Harrigan's physical reactions as he interacts with another actor that is not actually in his study (as well as the later scene where he walks from the car to the Lion's Head to retrieve Griffin's notebooks) is a very convincing performance (Harrigan's later hysterical scenes with the police aren't at all as interesting).

My husband and son are going at it all the time. My son, being a
teenager, thinks he knows everything about everything. That makes my husband
But there may be at least one surprising area that sons know more about
than dad — the job search.
A new study courtesy of Millennial Branding and Beyond.com found big differences
in the way each generation conducts a job search. The younger generation
seems to be having more success — particularly in attitude.
This new study called The Multi-Generational Job Search found
most out-of-work Boomers spend most of their time trolling job
boards, particularly LinkedIn. It's no wonder that nearly 70 percent
of them say they are frustrated and even depressed by the job
search. Boomers also happen to be the generation for whom it's taking
longest to find a job.
Sounds like dad is going about it
wrong, doesn't it?
Dan Schawbel, founder of
Millennial Branding and author of Me 2.0. was surprised to learn that a mature
out-of-work dad might be relying on social networks for a job search,
even more than his fresh-out-of-school kid. "You would think they(Boomers)
would return to how they always have looked for jobs, but they're not. I would
recommend finding job opportunities online but meeting people in person off
line to make the connection."
Meanwhile, Gen Y, the 20-somethings,
aren't letting unemployment get to them. They're optimistic and willing to go
back to school or start a business as an alternative to
unemployment, the study shows. They're spending time job hunting on
Facebook and almost half of them have their own websites.
"This study confirms that Gen Y
is optimistic about the future and is willing to do
whatever it takes to build a career…" Schawbel says.
Here's another area in which a Gen Y
kid might need to enlighten his Boomer dad: Interview preparation.
The study found the majority of
Boomers prepare for interviews by reviewing the company's website. Meanwhile,
the majority of Gen Y prepares by practicing interview questions. Gen Y's
approach works better.
"Gen Y probably practices interview questions more
because they are just out of school," Schwabel says."Boomers have
been interviewing their whole lives. They probably are not practicing as
much because they think they already know how to do it."
Yet, clearly the results show Boomers need job search help. In a
recent survey of 1,500 hiring managers, only 1% of respondents said it is
easiest to place job-seekers in their 50s, as opposed to younger workers in
their 20s, 30s and 40s.
There could be some age discrimination
at play. The study found 65% of Boomers said they feel like they suffer
from age discrimination in their search. Indeed, Schwabel believes younger
workers are perceived as having skills that may be more relevant.
However, Janette Marx, a senior vice president at Adecco, told Forbes.com: "There are many companies where mature workers are in high demand." Her
advice for mature workers, who may not have interviewed for a job for a long
time: Sell yourself by talking specifically about accomplishments and quantify
achievements with numbers.
"You don't need to be humble," says Marx. "Make sure you are
truly telling your story and selling yourself."
So, readers, if your out-of-work parent was struggling with the
job search, would he or she be open to your advice? Do you think older
workers are going about the job search incorrectly or do you believe age
discrimination is at play?

By Cody Willard
Did you see the news about that incredible double arm transplantation at Johns Hopkins for a U.S. vet?
I'm so proud of Dr. Jaimie Shores, originally from Truth or Consequences, N.M., who helped perform that procedure. It was fascinating listening to my veterinarian father grill Jaimie about the details of the procedure as we waited to go out together for my wedding last weekend. Dr. Shores was one of my best men, and so was my dad.
Jaimie's been one of the most influential and important people in my life since I met him. We first met in 1991 when he tried to cover me while I was breaking my high school basketball single-game scoring record. Well, it was a couple years later at The University of New Mexico where we become inseparable best friends. But, look at him now!
There's a revolution going on in medicine and Dr. Shores reminded me last night about how much I've learned from him on the Medical Revolution over the years.
Dr. Shores is an inspirational person in his own right and the lives he's changing by helping develop these new medical miracles inspire everybody who learns about it. He asked me last night if I remembered when he used to explain to me that the concept of what we call "plastic surgery" today will someday be looked back upon as a crude concept like leeching.
Stay tuned for some analysis on this sector in coming months and years.
Meanwhile, Amazon's up big after another strong quarterly report, proving our long-held thesis that the company at some point can and will turn on the gross margin and earnings machine in its model.
Facebook's reporting tonight. Feet to fire I'd rather be long than short into the report, as indeed I am. Gulp, as always.
I'm not changing my stance on Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL . I'm holding onto a large common stock position with huge gains that I've owned for years and I'm sitting on losses from the recent call options I'd scaled into. I do expect that Apple can and will deliver nearly $60 in earnings this year, and I expect that the market will pay 10X those earnings, plus net cash, which would put the stock up near $750 or $800. And I still expect that we'll see a $1,000 price in AAPL sometime in 2014 or 2015. There are no sure things though, and that's why we diversify and clearly our other longs have been huge winners of late even as Apple's own shareholders have relentlessly sold the stock down here that they loved at $700.
The broader markets are at all-time highs once again, which validates our having stayed steadily bullish and long once again. But, clearly the near-term markets are overbought, and I'm also, as you guys know, increasingly cautious on the global economies.
We added a couple new tech shorts before I left, with IBM and EWY (a Korean exchange-traded fund that's 1/4 comprised of Samsung) and I had also been actively trimming down the call options after the big runs we've had in the Amazon, Facebook, Sandisk, Linsday, Baidu and others in this new year, having bought those calls on weakness when the markets were panicking over the … what was it again, oh yea, the fiscal cliff. Which means I'm less aggressively long than I you've probably become accustomed to. With Apple's hit and so many of these other call options having kicked in, I've got more notional exposure to several of these positions than usual too.
I'm going to sell more calls that I've got big profits in, in all of the above mentioned stocks today and let my common stock portfolio do the heavy lifting for the near-term.

You Know What They Say: "Once You Go 'Bla'..."
3 comments:
Dear Dan, I love and admire you very much! Here's one for you:ReplyDelete
In slavery days very often supporters justified their actions by claiming 'blacks/slaves are not human'. But did anyone ever once suggest that white slave owners who bedded black paramours were BESTIALISTS? I am aware that latterly states introduced legislation PROSCRIBING spacecified sex acts - laws which still exist in at least two states, hanging over same-sex consenting adults like a Damocletian sword, capable of being used where it suits the purpose of an ambitious right wing prosecutor.
But the point remains: if black slaves were not human, their white masters taking them as paramours MUST have been BESTIALISTS.
Why would santorum or Santorum be focused on color and shading? It don't matter if your santorum is black or white.ReplyDelete

Tonight, look for the star Vega, the fifth brightest star in the sky. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, you'll find this beautiful bluish star easily, simply by looking northeastward at mid-evening in May. Vega is so bright that you can see it on a moonlit night.
Try it! Just look northeast in mid-evening in May. You'll see this bright bluish star shining above that horizon. From far south in the Southern Hemisphere, you can't see this star until late at night in May because Vega is located so far north on the sky's dome. Vega will reach its high point for the night around 3 to 4 hours after midnight, at which time people in the Southern Hemisphere can see this star in the northern sky. As seen from mid-northern latitudes, the star shines high overhead at this early morning hour.
Because it's the brightest star in the constellation Lyra the Harp, Vega is sometimes called the Harp Star.

Vega is a lovely star to come to know. When I was first learning the night sky, nearly 40 years ago, I spent hours, days, weeks, months poring over charts and books. So I sometimes came to know the names and whereabouts of certain stars before seeing them in the night sky. One soft May evening, I happened to glance toward the northeast. I was thrilled at the sight of Vega – gleaming, sapphire-blue – and surprisingly bright for being so low in the sky.
Like all stars, Vega rises some four minutes earlier each day as Earth moves around the sun. So Vega will ornament our evening sky throughout the summer and fall.
Although Vega is considered a late spring or summer star, it's actually so far north on the sky's dome that you can find it at some time during the night, nearly every night of the year at mid-northern latitudes.
Bottom line: It's easy to identify the star Vega in the constellation Lyra at this time of year. Just look northeast in the evening for a bright, bluish star above the northeastern horizon.
A planisphere is virtually indispensable for beginning stargazers. Order your EarthSky planisphere today.

A GNU Head
You may prefer to use a bold GNU Head, which is the version now used by the Free Software Foundation on any new GNU-emblem items, and stickers.
A handsome GNU Head with typical beard and smart-looking curled horns. He or she appears to be smiling contentedly with its works as of yet, but it still gazes off into the distance.
This image is available in the following formats:
This Head of a GNU was the default art for pages on this web site including GNU's home page.
It was also used on the front of the 1997 GNU T-shirt. It is also on the spine of many GNU Manuals.

In 1998, Saab renamed the 900 series to the 9-3 for the 1999 model year to be in line with the larger renamed 9-5. The 900 had been produced since the late 1970s and was the entry-level car for Saab. The Saab 9-3 took over the entry-level position. The model is pronounced ""nine three,"" not ""ninety-three,"" as the ""ninety-three"" was a car produced during the 1950s.
The Saab 9-3 is a compact executive car that was produced through two generations beginning in 1998. A third generation was announced for release during 2012 for the 2013 model year, although this may be delayed due to the financial situation of the company. The Saab 9-3 is built on the GM Epsilon platform, which was the same platform used for the Opel Vectra and the Cadillac BLS before those lines were discontinued. The Saab 9-3 is a near-luxury car, and the plush interior trim, design, and style put it towards the higher end of its class.
Saab introduced the second generation of the Saab 9-3 at the 2002 North American International Auto Show, for release for the 2003 model year. With the launch of the new generation, the hatchback was dropped from the model line. Initially, the second generation 9-3 was released as a four-door sedan, with a two-door convertible joining the model lineup for the 2004 model year, and a five-door station wagon introduced for the 2006 model year.
Three trim versions were available for the sedan: the base Linear, the luxury Arc, and the sporty Aero. All were equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a power rating of 175 horsepower in the Linear trim model, and 210 horsepower for the other two trim lines. A five-speed manual transmission was standard for the Linear and Arc trim levels, while a six-speed manual transmission was the standard for the Aero. A five-speed automatic transmission was available as an option, which allowed manual shifting either with the gear stick or steering-wheel-mounted paddles.
The 2006 model year saw the launch of the station wagon version of the Saab 9-3, as well as the introduction of a V-6 turbocharged engine. The Linear and Arc trim lines were renamed as the 2.0T, and were equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a power rating of 210 horsepower. The Aero trim line was equipped with the V-6 engine, which had a 2.8-liter turbocharged V-6 that provided 250 horsepower.
For the 2008 model year, Saab introduced the Turbo X version of the 9-3, as well as an all-wheel-drive system for the Aero trim line. The Turbo X was a limited edition and was only produced for one year. In 2009, the all-wheel-drive system was available for all vehicles. For 2012, the car was renamed to the Saab 9-3 Griffin, and the three body styles were reintroduced.
The first generation of the Saab 9-3 was in production from 1998 until 2002 to cover model years 1999 to 2002. When the new Saab 9-3 was launched in the place of the Saab 900, the company claimed to have made more than 1,000 improvements to the vehicle. Not only did the changes make it look sleeker than its predecessor, but other modifications improved the ride and handling of the Saab 9-3, as well as its safety and crash-worthiness. Side airbags that included head protection and active headrests to prevent whiplash were just two of the improvements to safety seen with the new Saab 9-3.
The base model came in a three-door hatchback, a five-door hatchback, and a two-door convertible. The five-door hatchback and convertible came in the base trim, as well as the higher SE trim level. All models were equipped with 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that had a power rating of 185 horsepower. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, and a four-speed automatic transmission was available as an option. If the driver chose the SE trim with the manual transmission, the engine was modified so that it produced 200 horsepower.
From 1999 to 2002, a higher powered version of the Saab 9-3 was in production to supplement the model line. The Saab 9-3 Viggen was named after the aircraft with the same name, and was based on the three-door hatchback version of the Saab 9-3. Both three- and five-door hatchback Viggens were produced during its lifetime. It was equipped with a 2.3-liter turbocharged engine that provided 225 horsepower. It also came with a manual transmission only, and was also equipped with a rear wing to increase the down force of the car, and new bumpers and side skirts made it more aerodynamic. Overall, the car was made to feel sportier, both in how it handled and how it looked, with interior design and features specific to the Viggen only. The Saab 9-3 Viggen was discontinued when the second generation of the Saab 9-3 was launched in 2002.

I can really relate to this particular post. I gravitate toward markedly girly, romantic clothing, but whip together a tomboyish outfit every now and again. I always feel really put-together and stylish in a chambray button-down and rolled-up jeans; I've no idea why!ReplyDelete
Anyway, this style really suits you, and I'm *crazy* about your shoes.

Since taking office last year, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has done many things well, positioning himself for a possible presidential run.
He has challenged — and outmaneuvered — Albany's wily Legislature. He has kept his once-notorious temper from spilling over. He has built a prodigious fund-raising operation and earned poll numbers that are the envy of governors nationwide.
But now Mr. Cuomo, a man who likes to determine his own destiny, faces a variable beyond his control: Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Creating frustration for his inner circle, as Mr. Cuomo considers a 2016 campaign for the White House, the eyes of his party are fixed on Mrs. Clinton, whose already sky-high stature among Democratic activists was enhanced by her husband's crowd-pleasing speech this month at the party's convention in Charlotte, N.C., and who can count on broad support if she decides to run.
Mrs. Clinton complicates Mr. Cuomo's ambitions in several ways. Despite the fact that she hails from Illinois, she is now viewed as a New Yorker and commands deep loyalty from the state's Democratic establishment. And Mr. Cuomo, 54, reveres her husband, former President Bill Clinton; he views Mr. Clinton as a mentor who helped him begin a career in politics, according to Cuomo friends and associates.Continue reading the main story
The focus on Mrs. Clinton among Mr. Cuomo's advisers was apparent during the Democratic convention. At one point, a key adviser to the governor approached the Rev. Al Sharpton to ask him if he would support Mrs. Clinton were she to run in 2016, according to a prominent New York Democrat with direct knowledge of the conversation.
"They are totally trying to figure out what she would do," said the Democrat, who like others interviewed for this article spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid alienating Mr. Cuomo.
Another Democrat close to Mr. Cuomo said the situation was making the Cuomo camp cranky, in part because the governor, a skilled strategic thinker, did not like to be captive to others' ambitions.
And a top fund-raiser for Mr. Cuomo put it this way: "He's got a former first lady and former New York senator in his sandbox, and that's a mess for him. He's got to wait and see what Hillary will do."
Mrs. Clinton, 64, served as a senator for eight years before resigning to become President Obama's secretary of state.
Neither she nor Mr. Cuomo has signaled any plans for the 2016 election, and the governor says he is focused on his current job. (Mrs. Clinton is not expected to stay in her cabinet post if Mr. Obama wins a second term.) But the potential collision between them is gripping the political world in New York.
"In terms of the psychodrama of politics, it does not get any better than this," the Democrat close to Mr. Cuomo said.
While Mr. Cuomo has deep affection for Mr. Clinton and calls him for advice, his relationship with Mrs. Clinton is less personal.
What is most vexing to those who want to see Mr. Cuomo run is that Mrs. Clinton, given her popularity in the party, can take her time deciding whether to make another bid for the presidency, essentially freezing the rest of the Democratic field.
Mr. Cuomo, in private conversations, has often been frank about his own prospective presidential candidacy. "First, I've got to figure out what Hillary is doing," he says, according to an adviser.
A Cuomo spokesman denied that Mr. Cuomo had said any such thing and insisted that the governor was not positioning himself for a presidential run.
In the weeks leading up to the convention, Mr. Cuomo, who served as the nation's housing secretary under President Clinton, turned down offers from old associates of his father, former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, and former colleagues from the federal housing department to talk quietly about his presidential prospects, as other prominent Democrats, like Gov. Martin O'Malley of Maryland, began planting the seeds for possible candidacies, according to a close Cuomo adviser.
Among those yearning for a Cuomo presidential campaign in 2016, a divide has emerged: some suggest that if Mrs. Clinton ran, the governor's loyalty to Mr. Clinton would prevent him from joining the field.
But others reject the notion that Mrs. Clinton poses a serious obstacle to Mr. Cuomo, saying she is enjoying a political honeymoon right now but still has many of the weaknesses that plagued her in the past, including a polarizing image.
By contrast, they say, Mr. Cuomo is a fresh face whom Democratic officials, donors and activists will naturally want to court — provided that he wins re-election in 2014, when Mrs. Clinton will most likely be out of a job in politics.Continue reading the main story

Dust Bowl "The Great Plow Up" This film by Ken Burns chronicles the environmental catastrophe of the Great Plains during the 1930s. The frenzied wheat boom of the early 20th-century that plows the prairie lands becomes the victim of a decade-long drought that turns those lands into deserts and unleashes a pattern of massive, deadly dust storms. Twenty-six survivors of those hard times telling their stories and the eloquently written diaries of two women provide a narrative. Part 1 of 2G
