Quite often, too much is made of player stats in scrimmages, particularly in the spring, which is why the numbers handed out by Mark Richt after Georgia practices are labeled "unofficial."
But since they involve players with whom some UGA fans seem obsessed, it's worth noting a couple of story lines coming out of the Bulldogs' first scrimmage of the spring Tuesday.
On a day when starter Aaron Murray was absent with permission for an awards ceremony, longtime backup Hutson Mason got his first ever undisputed shot at running the first-string offense.
Mason has never made any secret of chafing in his perennial backup role behind Murray. When the starter decided to return for his senior year, Mason admitted he was "frustrated," and Tuesday he joked with reporters that he ought to get Murray signed up for some more banquets.
Given a chance to run the No. 1 offense, Mason's numbers were decent but not anything to get particularly excited about: He completed 14 of 23 passes for 186 yards, with two interceptions (on a cold, windy day when Bulldog QBs threw six picks) and one long touchdown throw to Chris Conley against the No. 1 defense.
But from all reports he shook off some self-admitted jitters from not having played with the No. 1 unit in a long time and looked like he knew what he was doing. As Richt put it: "I thought he did a nice job. He's very capable of running the show."
And, as recounted by our Chip Towers, the feisty QB even got into a scuffle with linebacker Amarlo Herrera, with Mason throwing a punch after getting slapped on the helmet. Fortunately for Mason, his offensive linemen came to his aid. (That sort of thing sounds good in a scrimmage report and gets fans pumped up, but he better think twice about trying it in a real game.)
I've never understood the faction of UGA fandom that seems to have the deluded idea that Mason ought to be starting rather than Murray — ignoring Murray's eye-popping real game stats in favor of Mason's past G-Day numbers — but it's good to know that, if the occasion arises where the backup has to take the reins, the Dogs shouldn't have to worry too much.
The other player whose scrimmage results are worth noting is junior defensive end Ray Drew, whose play to date has never quite matched his recruiting hype but who appears to be finally coming into his own as he battles Sterling Bailey for a spot in the starting lineup.
Drew had two sacks and a tackle for loss Tuesday and the Athens Banner-Herald quoted Mason as saying, "From what I noticed, Ray Drew was really unblockable today."
Despite the fact he was working with the second unit in the scrimmage, Drew's confidence seems to be growing. He told the Banner-Herald he believes that "by the time the season rolls around, Sterling Bailey and myself will be sharing a good amount of playing time. I wouldn't say that I deserve to be a one or Sterling deserves to be a one, but … I believe talent-wise we're right there together and we're both going to make an impact this upcoming season."
Here's hoping he's right.
UGA is increasingly pushing the weekend of the G-Day Game as sort of a spring equivalent of Homecoming to try and get more fans to make the trek to Athens.
Once again, the actual intrasquad game, set for 1 p.m. April 6 at Sanford Stadium, will be preceded at 11 a.m. by a flag football game featuring past lettermen, which is always a lot of fun. And the schedule as been arranged so that fans also can catch the faltering baseball team (which needs as much support as it can get) in an 8 p.m. game against Mizzou.
There's also a lot of other action on tap that weekend in different sports (you can check out the schedule here), and for the G-Day game surface lots around the stadium will be open to the public and handicap parking will be available in the Tate Center and East Campus lots.
See you there!

I just wish we would not talk a lot of junk before the season starts.Ray drew should not say a word till he proves himself on the dang field. I hope he doesn't turn out to be a bust…because we will really neeed him this year…..he is a good guy though

Mason looked better than Murray, completed 61% in the wind, with the flu.
Murray threw 3 int's vs. Florida, 3 int's vs. Nebraska.
Anything's an improvement over Aaron Murray.
Murray would have probably thrown 6 int's and completed 40%.

Here's a past history of Hutson Mason's passing effic head to head with Murray in games they BOTH played in.
March 27th, 2013
11:22 am
Hutson Mason in 2011 in 2nd half of games:
60% accuracy, 2 td\s, 0 int's, 155 passer rating
Aaron Murray in 2011:
55% accuracy, 11 td\s, 8 int's, 131 passer rating
March 27th, 2013
11:28 am
In real games, Murray had 3 turnovers against Fla 2010, 3 vs Fla in 2012, 3 vs LSU in SEC Championship, 3 vs. Nebraska in Bowl game, 3 int's vs Miss St in 2011,
58 passer rating in 2012 vs. SC,
91 passer rating in 2012 vs. Fla
125 passer rating in 2012 vs. Bama
Murray has a 1 win, 9 loss record vs teams that finish in the top 20.
Never understood why people think Murray's so great.
Murray's a turnover machine with 32 int's, and a 90% loss record vs. top 20 teams.
March 27th, 2013
11:40 am
According to Mason's postgame interview, he only threw 1 int. Guess Richt kind of missed that.
Anyone surprised?
March 27th, 2013
11:46 am
Preach it CC! I also heard that Hutson Mason has elected to sit on the bench for all these years to avoid injury. He is projected as the #1 overall draft pick in 2014 ahead of Jadeveon Clowney and does not want to risk that status. The patriots are rumored to be willing to trade tom brady and all of their 2014 draft picks in order to move up and draft mason at #1.

Aaron Murray\s numbers IN 2012 against the 2 best SEC East opponents as a 3rd year starter (SC/UF):

11:54 am
real-game stats?!??!? Here's a real-game stat that matters more than ANY other, W's-L's against calibre teams, how's Murray doing with that??? What is he now, 1-11 against ranked teams? Yep, real-game stats that matter…..He's simply awesome!
Now let me go back to reading this story..
March 27th, 2013
12:01 pm
Bill Arp,
What are you saying, you like or don't like Murray, I really don't know?
March 27th, 2013
12:06 pm
Anyone know where Murray chose to spend his time on the windy day of scrimmage? What's that, Murray chose to accept an individual award instead of competing against Hutson Mason?
Murray won't be able to hide form Mason on G-Day, we'll all see, ONCE AGAIN, who will have the better day, without Richt's bogus spin on Mason interceptions. I always like to see them head to head, with my own eyes.
And so far, every GDay, in the public game where Richt can't fudge about the stats, Mason always does better than Murray. Anything can happen, but my bet's on Mason to keep his 9 game winning streak vs. Murray alive.
March 27th, 2013
1:35 pm
Next year Mason will probably get his chance and the first game he loses because of turnovers or not calling the right play's will determine just what kind of Georgia fan you are. My bet is you will turn your back on Mason and wonder why Ramsey isn't the starter. Nothing is good enough for you and you are the first to criticize if everything isn't as perfect as YOU want things to be. I would really like to know how old you are and what background makes you such an authority on what is best for Richt's team.
March 27th, 2013
1:57 pm
Murray's to blame; really????
give me a break
people need to lay off Murray
This coaching staff has continually lost big game after big game with 2 or more losses every year long before Murray got here with superior talent on the sidelines year after year
March 27th, 2013
2:01 pm
Thanks for your loyalty to the starting UGA Qb.
Unfortunately, the numbers don't lie.
Most of Murray's stats are against inferior opponents, check out how Murray performed in the 3 biggest games of 2012: South Carolina, Florida, and Alabama.
Murray, against ranked teams, is 9th in accuracy in the SEC, and 14th in interceptions.
No doubt Mason, Lemay, Bauta, or Ramsey could do better than that, everyone in the SEC does better than 14th ranked in interceptions in the conference?
If Murray was as good as you think:
1) He wouldn't be 1-9 vs teams that finish top 20
2) He wouldn\t struggle against a Bama defense that 1st year starters Mettenberger and Manziel shredded
3) He wouldn't be committing 3 turnovers in his 3rd year as a starter against big time teams like Florida and Alabama
4) The NFL would have told him he\d go #1 in the 2013 draft (they didn't, he was 3rd round at best)
5) Murray would have beaten Mason once out of their 9 head to head matchups. Instead of going 0-9 vs. Mason
There's the 1% of the UGA fan base who are impressed by Murray's inflated numbers compiled largely against teams like New Mexico State, then there's the 99% of us who evaluate Murray on how he does against the best like Bama, Florida, South Carolina and LSU.
March 27th, 2013
2:08 pm
No, UGA won the Florida game because of Jarvis Jones forcing turnovers, and the defense forced 6 turnovers in that game to bail Murray out for one of the worst games in his career.
March 27th, 2013
2:11 pm
70% of Murray's passing yards in 2012 vs UNRANKED teams.
March 27th, 2013
2:18 pm
Murray's 70th national ranking in accuracy vs. ranked teams is not a worthless number.
Nor is Murray's 58th ranked in interceptions vs. ranked teams.
You neglected to point those out.
March 27th, 2013
2:21 pm
So Hutson Mason outperforming Murray in passer efficiency in ALL GDay games, in ALL regular season games, and in the one SEC Championship vs LSU Mason played in, all don't show you any evidence?
All those head to head wins mean nothing to you and Murray's 1-9 record vs teams that finish top 20 means nothing to you too?
March 27th, 2013
2:22 pm
Mason wouldn't be 1-9 vs. teams that finish top 20 teams, he gives UGA a better than 10% chance of winning, no QB could be worse than that?
March 27th, 2013
2:25 pm
If Murray's so great, why did he struggle against Bama, when 1st year starters like Mettenberger and Manziel had career best passing games?
March 27th, 2013
2:28 pm
Murray's stats and wins against UNRANKED teams are WORTHLESS.
March 27th, 2013
3:07 pm
There are two ways to evaluate Murray:
Stats/wins against ranked teams
Stats/wins against unranked teams
99% of UGA fans think the SEC Championship losses against LSU & Bama are more important than the Kentucky wins.

Yes, every game counts when it is an SEC game–just ask Carolina (2 yrs in a row). I live here in columbia and they all grouse about beating UGA but not getting to the SECCG. My reply, you have to win them all or at least more than your opponent. Samething can be said of Fla, LSU, Bama–you have win all or most to get where you want to be–Atlanta!!!
March 27th, 2013
4:43 pm
CC: I guarantee you never played football above Pee-Wee. This is not baseball, stats do lie. All the time. The only real evaluation you can make of a QB is the eye test and while Murray has had some jittery games against ranked teams, there is a reason no other SEC QB has ever done what he has done. There is a reason he is a 2nd or 3rd draft choice. There is a reason he gets Heisman hype.
March 27th, 2013
4:44 pm
I love your column. Can you tell us who worked with Swann in the first unit defensive backfield?
That is by far my biggest worry, so it would be nice to know who the staff is looking at right now.
March 27th, 2013
4:59 pm
Bill, thanks for posting in your column, it's nice to see that you follow the comments. CC, there's no getting through to you man. Your not the coach so what's your opinion matter? Murray is the starter and most of us stand behind the young man, he's an asset to the University of Georgia and by all facts seems to be a caring young man who has a bright future both as a football player and a human being. I trust our coach to make the QB choice for the team, maybe Mason's time will come as a starter and maybe it won't, its up to the staff to figure it out. Murray led the Dawgs to back to back SEC championship games and ALMOST beat the Tide againist all odds. I was cheering and hollaring in my agency's break room and had so much pride in the way the Dawgs played. I will remember that pride for a long time and I think all TRUE fans feel the same way. It's a pretty sorry life you live to waller in negativity all day long. Go Dawgs!

While I like the game passion displayed by the QB Hutson Mason… I question his smarts… first of all, throwing a punch at a LB.. with a helmet on! I am assuming the punch must have been an incomplete total miss or Hutson could have injured his throwing hand… more than likely the one reason why he's the back up QB.
No mention of DL Jonathan Taylor or QB Faton Bauta two players who showed out on the scout team last year… what's-up with that???

March 27th, 2013
11:40 pm
Now for statistics………..any QB or coach for that matter in the SEC who can manage the number of wins year after year that Aaron Murray and coach Richt have is no fluke………..they are the real deal…………….no doubt about it…………just look around the SEC and tell me who else has a better win loss record over their time as QB or coach………….Not many pretty rare, I'll take "my Dawgs" any day…………..RED
March 28th, 2013
7:07 am
Just a helpful reminder to everyone… all wins are team wins and all losses are TEAM losses. Since it is a TEAM loss that means everyone, players and coaching staff own the loss. Often times it is a combination of factors that result in a loss. Coaches can make bad calls, players can forget assignments, coaches can make great calls and players can fail to execute them… playing the blame game is fruitless.
March 28th, 2013
7:42 am
Bill, why do you always have to take shots at a guy……numbers nothing to get excited about…blah blah blah…dont understand how some fans are obsessed with this and that……maybe its because Murray sucks in big games…..maybe its because murray throws as many if not more interceptions at the most inopportune times…maybe its because Murrays numbers are against mostly losing or average at best teams. last year in JAX, lets be clear- we won in SPITE of Murray. Fla and all their mistakes had more to do with it than anything Murray did. Yes, he is a good QB….but so is Mason.
March 28th, 2013
8:06 am
David, fla did not make mistakes–they were forced errors caused by a punishing and determined defense. You make it sound as if fl made stupid mistakes (unforced errors) not true–those fumbles and ints were made by aggressive tackling and being quick to the point of contact. A mistake is a missed assignment, go the wrong way–but these were forced errors–can not blame fl, can only blame a strong determined defense. As for Murray–argue that point all you want, but stop trying to excuse the loss of fl on stupid mistakes–no, no, those were forced by an aggressive D.
March 28th, 2013
8:54 am
Give it a rest CC…… I think the coaches know a heck of a lot more than you do and if Mason was all that he would be starting instead of Murray. OOOOh Mason looked sooo good at G Day – give me a break. So Murray is 1-11 (or whatever) against some measure of quality teams, well you know what ? If Mason had started he would have been 0-for. You sound like the same loudmouth that used to sit behind me at games screaming to take Zeir out and put in Bobo. Is that you ?
March 28th, 2013
9:06 am
Anyone who pays even moderate attention to UGA football knows that Aaron Murray presses in big games. He tries too hard. It is also noteworthy that he played a pretty good game against Bama. The last drive was on his shoulders and he got the team down the field in big time fashion. There will be those that will blame his size for the tipped ball but that is bogus. That was a great play by the defender… a few inches in height would not have changed where the throw was going or whether or not it was tipped. Anyway… he played a good game and he did not kill our chances to win. That was the biggest game of his career and he preformed admirably. THAT is what I am carrying forward.
Those of you who want to play the statistics game and how it didn't seem to change in his first few years and most of last season need to chuck the stats and look at the Bama game and the bowl game. How come you detractors don't talk about the SEC championship game? Sure we lost but it wasn't because of anything Aaron Murray did. Is it because it pretty much blows your "Murray ALWAYS chokes" theory out of the water? Maybe you need to reassess…

Kate Hudson Predicts Baby's Gender with an Age-Old Trick
Boy or girl for Kate Hudson? The actress puts a popular gender predictor method to the test.
The Scoop
Free-spirited actress Kate Hudson gave the baby gender prediction game a try in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. Already a mom to son Ryder, born January 2004, Hudson is due sometime this summer with baby #2—and readily admits to not knowing for sure whether she is having a boy or girl. But the pendulum might be swinging in favor of a girl, according to a "pendulum test" Hudson performed while chatting with ET correspondent Samantha Harris.
For those not in the know, a pendulum test or "pendulum reading" is when you hang a ring over the pregnant belly by a string, or in Hudson's case, a piece of her hair. The practice is said to reveal the gender of an unborn baby by interpreting the hovering object's pattern of movement. If the ring spins in a circle, it is a girl. If the ring swings back and forth, it is a boy. Hudson says she performed the reading with her previous pregnancy, and it successfully predicted her son Ryder's gender.
During the interview, the ring spun in a circle, meaning it's a girl (maybe) for Hudson, who called the test, "very witchy."
Your Baby
OK, so we all know that the only truly accurate way to tell the gender of your unborn child is through ultrasound or amniocentesis. But want to have some fun? According to folklore and plenty of old wives' tales, you can deduce your baby's gender with such low-tech methods as:
- Looking in the mirror: If you're carrying Baby low in your belly, it's a boy; high, it's a girl. If you belly sticks straight out, it's a boy; if you're wide at the middle, it's a girl.
- Monitoring morning sickness: If morning sickness lasts morning, noon, and night, it's a girl.
- Listening carefully to the heart doppler: Is Baby's heart beat faster than 140 beats per minute (bpm)? It's a girl. Less than 130 bpm? It's a boy.
- Checking the lunar calendar: Crossing your age with the month your baby was conceived, many women claim the Chinese Lunar Calendar method accurately predicts gender. Will it work for you?
While it's probably not a good idea to base your choice of nursery decor on any one of these gender prediction methods, remember you always have a 50-50 chance of being correct! Time will tell whether Hudson's ring test was correct. Stay tuned…

The differences between an AK-47 and an M-16 is that an M-16 is a finicky beast, but its also a more accurate beast - you will achieve rates of fire and accuracy with an M-16 that you wouldn't with an AK-47, but it comes at the price of higher maintenance requirements.
True true. While both designers of the AK-47 and M-16 (AR-15) were WWII veterans, work on the rifles that eventually resulted in the AK-47 started during WWII itself (SKS, Mikhtim) was started due to the designer's (Mikhail Kalashnikov) complains with their Soviet rifles, hence reliability in the field was prioritized.

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - Bail was set at $500,000 for a 55-year-old Missoula man charged with shooting his wife in the face, apparently as she slept.
The Missoulian reports (http://bit.ly/18ZS0k8 ) Mark Byron Tabish made an initial appearance in Justice Court Wednesday on a charge of attempted deliberate homicide. Tabish was arrested early Tuesday after his wife drove herself to the hospital.
Court records say the woman told investigators she awakened "to find that she was bleeding from the face."
Charging documents say Tabish told officers he "was not certain why he had shot his wife," but that he might have wanted to kill her, their dog and himself.
Court records say Tabish bought the .22 rifle on Monday and that his blood-alcohol level was 0.328, which is more than four times the legal limit for driving.

More research, more revisions. That was the outcome of Tuesday night's planning commission meeting regarding chickens within Huntsville city limits.
The Huntsville Planning Commission heard more than two dozen people voice concerns about urban chickens.
The proposed ordinance would allow three hens per home within the city limits, but no roosters. The coop would have to be 12 square feet in size at least ten feet from your neighbor. The current ordinance says you cannot raise chickens within 150 of your neighbor, essentially restricting all of Huntsville.
Those against the relaxed ordinance want it to stay that way.
"The smell and all the carrying on, you know, and the neighbors. We don't need no chickens in this city, it don't matter that Chattanooga and Atlanta and Nashville do. We have to quit listening to the other cities," said Jackie Reed.
Those in favor say those are all misconceptions. They say chickens produce very little noise and smell.
Founder of the Huntsville Hen Alliance, Sam Caraway, says raising chickens promotes a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and gives Huntsville a progressive boost in the right direction.
"The idea that they are noisy, smelly, disease ridden…it is just not true. We are talking about three birds, when you factor in easements and 10 foot off the property line. You aren't going to see it, smell it hear it," said Caraway.
The planning department will now do more research and likely form a committee to look into the issue further. It could be voted on at next month's meeting.

Q: I'm 25 years old and my boyfriend is 26. I've been in a relationship with him for about five years. For the first two years of our relationship he showed motivation, had a full-time job and went back to finish high school. He was even planning to go to college. But he has since lost his motivation. Do you think he will change anytime soon?-Delia K.A: Hi Delia,I'm so proud you, Delia. I tend to feel that way about someone whenever I hear such wise and thoughtful consideration. Yes, five years is a long investment of time and emotion, but if that investment isn't showing any signs of future enrichment, you're absolutely correct to question its validity and continuation.So, will he change anytime soon? I don't know if he will or not, but it's not my future that's at stake here. It's your future that's in jeopardy, Delia! If you haven't done so yet, I suggest you have a heart-to-heart discussion with him where you honestly and specifically voice your concerns. If you do decide to continue the relationship with him, I strongly suggest some counseling. At the end of the day, you probably know him better than anyone else. So I ask you, Delia: In your heart, do you think he'll really change?Wishing You Great Health,Dr. John H. Sklare

Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are Riverbed Technology Inc. (RVBD), HeartWare International Inc. (HTWR) and Neostem Inc. (NBS).
Riverbed Technology swung to a first-quarter loss as acquisition costs and feeble government spending hurt the network-equipment maker's performance. The San Francisco company also surprised investors with lower-than-expected sales of its main wide-area network optimization product, which helps large organizations shuttle data between head offices and smaller branch offices. Shares were down 6.8% to $13.84 after hours.
HeartWare's first-quarter loss narrowed on U.S. sales of its implantable heart pumps. The latest period marks the first full-quarter of U.S. commercial sales of its HeartWare Ventricular Assist System, which is a bridge-to-transplant therapy for patients with advanced stage heart failure. Shares rose 7.2% to $91.60 after hours as per-share earnings results topped consensus estimates.
Biotechnology services company Neostem revealed plans to offer stock, but didn't say how many shares it plans to sell. Shares fell 11% after hours to 56 cents.
Datalink Corp.'s (DTLK) first-quarter earnings fell 49% as operating expenses at the provider of data-center infrastructure and services increased, offsetting stronger revenue that was helped by an acquisition, although core earnings improved. Shares jumped 8.3% to $11.20 in after-hours trading Monday, as the company offered second-quarter revenue guidance above analyst expectations.
Northern Tier Energy LP (NTI) said Northern Tier Holdings LLC is offering 10 million units, decreasing its stake to 55.4% from 66.3%. The energy company's units were off 2.4% to $25.42 in after-hours trading.
Texas Roadhouse Inc.'s (TXRH) first-quarter earnings rose 39% as the casual steakhouse operator opened new restaurants, and sales increased at its existing locations. Shares climbed 6.9% to $22.80 after hours.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its rating on Allscripts Healthcare Solutions Inc. (MDRX) by one notch, citing product-integrations issues and declining sales at the electric health-records company.
Arch Capital Group Ltd.'s (ACGL) first-quarter earnings rose 56% as the insurance and reinsurance company saw its premiums and its foreign-exchange gains rise.
A New York State judge denied summary judgment Monday to Bank of America Corp.(BAC) and MBIA Insurance Corp. (MBI) in a longstanding battle over who is liable for losses racked up after the collapse of the housing market.
Cablevision Systems Corp. (CVC) has agreed to sell the bulk of its Clearview Cinemas movie theaters to privately held Bow Tie Cinemas as it continues to shed non-core businesses. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Community Health Systems Inc.'s (CYH) first-quarter earnings rose 4.9% as the hospital operator benefited from slightly stronger revenue despite weaker admissions.
Express Scripts Holding Co. (ESRX) said Monday its first-quarter earnings rose 39%, fueled by last year's Medco Health Solutions deal, and the company slightly increased its full-year earnings outlook.
General Growth Properties Inc.'s (GGP) first-quarter loss narrowed as the mall landlord posted lower warrant liability adjustments and a gain on the extinguishment of debt, while revenue rose.
Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. (HIG) swung to a first-quarter loss as the insurer booked charges tied to its transformation into a more-focused company.
Helen of Troy Corp.'s (HELE) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings rose 7.5% as the personal-care and household-products maker posted sales growth across its segments.
Herbalife Ltd.'s (HLF) first-quarter earnings rose 9.9% as the nutritional-supplements maker posted double-digit sales growth. Per-share earnings topped Herbalife's expectations and the company again raised its full-year earnings view.
Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (HTZ) swung to a first-quarter profit, as the car-rental company's sales were boosted by the recent purchase of Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group. Results easily exceeded Wall Street's expectations, as both the car and equipment rental segments benefited from stronger volumes and better pricing.
Hydrogenics Corp. (HYGS, HYG.T) said it intends to offer an undisclosed number of shares, using the proceeds for general purposes.
Macquarie Infrastructure Co. LLC (MIC) said it is offering 3.04 million shares, while Macquarie Investment Management, which owns a 12% stake in the company, is offering 2.49 million shares. The energy infrastructure owner, which recently had around 37.6 million shares outstanding, expects to use its portion of the proceeds to pay down debt.
Masco Corp.'s (MAS) first-quarter profit rose 42% as the building-products manufacturer benefited from robust new-home construction in North America. However, results missed analyst expectations.
Meritor Inc. (MTOR) has agreed to sell its 50% ownership stake in a Brazilian joint venture to its joint-venture partner Randon SA Implementos e Participacoes for $195 million, and plans to use proceeds to strengthen its balance sheet.
Newmont Mining Corp.'s (NEM) first-quarter profit fell 36% as the gold-mining company reported that its gold production declined.
New York hedge fund Jana Partners LLC disclosed a 9.1% stake in Oil States International Inc. (OIS), calling the diversified oilfield services company's shares undervalued.
PartnerRe Ltd.'s (PRE) first-quarter earnings fell 35% as the reinsurer posted sharply lower realized and unrealized investment gains. However, excluding those impacts, operating profit was up more than expected.
Plum Creek Timber Co.'s (PCL) first-quarter earnings almost doubled as the real-estate investment trust posted wider margins.
Post Properties Inc.'s (PPS) first-quarter earnings slipped 7% as a gain from the sale of real-estate assets boosted the real-estate investment trust's year-earlier results, though revenue and funds from operation improved in the latest period.
Qiagen NV's (QGEN) first-quarter earnings fell 30% mostly on higher business integration expenses and other items as the medical-testing technologies company also said it acquired privately held software company Ingenuity Systems Inc. for $105 million, expanding its capabilities in genetic data analysis and interpretation--a key growth area in the sector.
Safeway Inc. (SWY) has named President Robert L. Edwards to succeed Steven A. Burd as chief executive when Mr. Burd retires next month.
Time Warner Cable Inc. (TWC) named Arthur T. Minson Jr. as its new chief financial officer, effective May 2, replacing Irene M. Esteves.

NEW YORK--U.S. stock futures hugged the flat line Tuesday, with investors pausing a day after the S&P 500 closed at a record high, ahead of economic data and more corporate-earnings reports.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 3 points to 14751, while those on the S&P 500 index slipped 1.20 points to 1587.
Nasdaq 100 futures were nearly unchanged at 2859.
The S&P 500 ended up 11.37 points at 1,593.61 on Monday, with the benchmark up 1.6% for the month. A positive finish to April would deliver a sixth straight month of gains, the index's longest winning run since a seven-month stretch that ended in September 2009.
The Federal Open Market Committee will begin its two-day meeting on monetary policy on Tuesday, with a decision expected on Wednesday. With inflation below the Fed's 2% target, the FOMC is expected to keep its bond-buying program at $85 billion a month.
The U.S. economic calendar is busy Tuesday. The S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index for February is due at 9 a.m. EDT. Shortly after the market opens, the Chicago purchasing managers' index for April will be released, as well as the Conference Board's April consumer-confidence index. The Chicago PMI fell 4.4 points to 52.4 in March, while the Conference Board's confidence index declined to 59.7 in March from 68.0 in February.
Companies scheduled to report earnings on Tuesday include pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc. (PFE), beauty-products firm Avon Products Inc. (AVP), investment manager Legg Mason Inc. (LM) and restaurant group Domino's Pizza Inc. (DPZ).
European stock markets were mixed Tuesday, with the Stoxx 600 index trading up 0.1%.

this turdball should write slashfic:
Occasionally you get a candidate, like Tim Pawlenty, who grew up working class. But he gets sucked up by the consultants, the donors and the professional party members and he ends up sounding like every other Republican. Other times a candidate will emerge who taps into a working-class vibe — Pat Buchanan, Mike Huckabee or Sarah Palin. But, so far, these have been flawed candidates who get buried under an avalanche of negative ads and brutal coverage.
This year, Romney is trying to establish some emotional bond with the working class by waging a hyperpatriotic campaign: I may be the son of a millionaire with a religion that makes you uncomfortable, but I love this country just like you. The strategy appears to be only a partial success.
Enter Rick Santorum.

If you took a working-class candidate from the right, like Santorum, and a working-class candidate from the left, like Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, and you found a few islands of common ground, you could win this election by a landslide.
Brown was born in Mansfield, Ohio, the son of Emily (née Campbell) and Charles Gailey Brown, M.D.[1] He was named after his maternal grandfather. He became an Eagle Scout in 1967. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Russian studies from Yale University in 1974. At Yale, he was in Davenport College, the same residential college as U.S. Presidents George H. W. and George W. Bush

Please take a number, if you would like to be the next columnist/blogger/economist etc. to critique David Brooks' latest pronouncement:
Here's Dean Baker
Brooks also has an interesting theory on the loss of skills. He tells readers:
"The American social fabric is now so depleted that even if manufacturing jobs miraculously came back we still would not be producing enough stable, skilled workers to fill them."
Five years ago we had two million more people employed in manufacturing than we do today. Has the social fabric become so depleted in this period that these people or others could now not fill these jobs if they came back? If Brooks really thinks that the ill effects of unemployment are that extreme he should be screaming for more stimulus in every column.

But even while grappling with the tension between religious values and contemporary cultural values, which is basically well within Brooks' wheelhouse, he demonstrates a hilarious misunderstanding of sports, and what sports are "about," because Mr. Brooks has been spending far too much time in his cloistered elite liberal media ivory tower munching on brie and arugula and not enough time among Real Americans in their "Sporting Taverns" watching "The Big Game" over a pint of mass-market domestic lager.

The half-century between 1912 and 1962 was a period of great wars and economic tumult but also of impressive social cohesion. Marriage rates were high. Community groups connected people across classIn the half-century between 1962 and the present, America has become more prosperous, peaceful and fair, but the social fabric has deteriorated. Social trust has plummeted. Society has segmented. The share of Americans born out of wedlock is now at 40 percent and rising.

Ah, the good ol' days..... If only married people had kids, we could have impressive social cohesion and a strong social fabric like we did before 1961, when only men could get decent jobs and we kept those darned negroes out of our good schools, restaurants, and bus seats....

The strategies covered here start from a similar premise—that human beings are blessed with many talents but are also burdened by sinfulness, ignorance and weakness, which is why I call on both parties for common sense solutions to our problems, the most notable of which is a cat o' nine tails.

Brooks rose into prominence as a moderate Republican and has enjoyed immense success and prestige as a result. Psychologically, he could hurl himself from a moving car more easily than he could reject Republicanism, no matter how batshit crazy the party becomes.

same with Frum at this point, imo. i realize he can't begin to approach the loathsomeness of Brooks, but his blog basically serves to titillate liberals (who the fuck else pays attention to him?) and provoke a chorus of 'i-told-you-so's'
except for his recent weird preoccupation with the evils of zomg marihuana and the fact that he can't get his mouth off Israel's dick for 5 seconds, i really don't understand how he's still able to call himself a Republican with a straight face.
i suppose renouncing Republicanism would damage his brand, his blog traffic would suffer and he wouldn't be one of cable news' 4 go-to guys who are "trying to save the party"

clean hit:
David Brooks has an unparalleled ability to shape an intellectually interesting idea into the rhetorical arc of an 800-word op-ed piece. The trouble is, a central part of his genius is choosing the little factoids that perfectly illustrate his points. No doubt he's happy enough to use a true fact if the right one comes to hand, but whenever I've checked, the details have turned out to be somewhere between mischaracterized and invented.

The final result is a warm, sophisticated necktie that will look as smart with a chambray shirt and tweed blazer as it does with a charcoal suit. A great fall piece to add to your collection.

Upside catalysts ahead at Bank of America
Investors should buy these shares ahead of the next 'stress test' in January.
By Brian Hicks, The Wealth Advisory
Many investors still view banks as risky due to questions about the dollar value of toxic loans on their books. But Bank of America (BAC) has written off $105 billion in bad loans over the last four years. In addition, the bank has had to consistently put aside billions as loan loss reserves. This amount hit $50 billion at the end of 2009. Now loan loss reserves are down to $9 billion.
Bank of America is also doing an excellent job or raising its Tier 1 capital ratios to meet new standards. At 8.9%, B of A has one of the highest Tier 1 capital of any bank in the U.S. -- higher than Citi, JP Morgan, and Wells Fargo.
The last major overhang for the stock is the repurchase liability, which would require it to buy back mortgage-backed securities that were sold without full disclosure of the risks. It seems clear Bank of America will settle for a lump sum and that will end the litigation.
We expect the final number to come in a around $7 billion to $8 billion. What's more, we expect a settlement to be announced by the end of the year. This will be a major catalyst for the stock.
How cheap is Bank of America? With the stock currently trading around $9.50, there's no doubt it's cheap when compared to tangible book value of $13.48.
JP Morgan (JPM), for instance, trades at 1.1 times tangible book value; Wells Fargo (WFC) trades at 1.5 times tangible book. Bank of America would have to move 50% to 100% higher to trade at the same valuations as JP Morgan or Wells Fargo.
In addition to the repurchase agreement overhang, there's another big reason Bank of America doesn't trade with the same valuation as JP Morgan or Wells Fargo: dividends.
But that could change soon and the date to remember is January 7, 2013. In what's become an annual event, America's banks will submit their capital plans for the next year to the Federal Reserve on January 7, 2013.
In this report, each bank will outline how it plans to survive another financial crisis (if one were to occur). These "stress tests" will also include plans to raise capital, as well as what the bank plans to do with the capital it has.
For Bank of America, its plans for capital in 2013 will likely include a request to raise its meager dividend and maybe even a stock buyback.
Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor thinks Bank of America will propose a return of $1.481 billion in dividends to shareholders, plus $1.5 billion in share buybacks.
That would mean a 1.3% per share dividend -- or roughly $0.12 a share. For comparison's sake, JP Morgan currently pays 3% and Wells Fargo pays 2.7%.
We believe the risk/reward scenario for Bank of America is as attractive as it will get. All the clues that the company is on solid footing are there, yet the stock is still trading with a significant discount to its peers.
The best plan for accumulating a position in Bank of America prior to January 7 is to buy in increments over the next six weeks.
That way, you will have the opportunity to buy on weakness should it occur -- but you'll also have exposure if the stock keeps moving higher. Our one-year price target is $14.

This recipe produced in aces! The meat did indeed simply fall off the bone and the taste was yummy. My husband is a rib fan and he often has them out at restaurants. I have not had much success cooking them at home in the past so haven't attempted them in years; but when I saw this recipe I thought it was worth trying. I'm glad I did.

Can This Polish Really Stay Perfect For A Week, Sans Top Coat?
0 comments
So, you can't blame us if when CoverGirl's new Outlast Nail Gloss arrived on the scene, we were excited but seriously skeptical. It certainly sounded promising — a nail polish that you could apply with just one coat and no topcoat and still get long-wear benefits, in colors that were bright and vibrant. But, we knew we'd have to run this through our Beauty Test Lab to see if it truly stayed flawless for a full seven days. So, we tapped R29's lovely assistant photo editor, Ida, to put the polish to the test — tune in to see how it did!
CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss, $5, available at Drugstore.com.

Clean Bottle Team Edition Water Bottle $9.95
A great leap forward for water bottle technology.
The Clean Bottle is the million-dollar idea we all wish we'd thought of. Instead, it was Dave. You may not know Dave, but if you've watched a Tour de France mountain stage in the last two years you've seen his alter ego, Bottle Boy, the oversized version of the Clean Bottle.
The Clean Bottle isn't rocket science, but it is ingenious. The 100% non-toxic, BPA-free Clean Bottle unscrews at both ends to make cleaning a breeze. Even the nozzle is removable, giving germs no place to hide once the scrub brush comes out. Each end of the bottle has a leak-proof silicone washer. And, feel free to stuff the 22 ounce bottle to the gills with ice and drink powders, the wide mouth makes it easy.
The Clean Bottle is dishwasher safe and guaranteed for life, and Dave even donates 10% of profits to eco-friendly charities. The Clean Bottle is available in White/ blue, White/ black, and Competitive Cyclist Racing Team colors and holds 22 ounces.

Leaky nozzle
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I get my drink all over my jersey/shirt, thanks to the crappy seal on the top around the nozzle. It lets it all out around the base and outside of the nozzle, rather than only from the center, in a stream, as I'd expect. When I first noticed, I ended wrapping my lips around the top as if it were a teat, to get a drink. Very uncool... after that, I just unscrewed the cap to drink.
Interesting design, but I still have to clean it about the same as any other bottle. It's a little faster, since I can use my hand from the bottom too, but there's no avoiding some work to get the slimy film off the inside of the bottle after filling it with energy drinks.
Works well. Some Quality control issues
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I would give this 5 stars, but the incoming quality of this product disappointed me. I ordered 2, and one of the bottles had a crooked bottom cap. Upon closer inspection, the threads on the bottle were actually formed in a way that the mating bottom piece did not screw on completely. This causes a leak. I immediately returned the bottle, and Backcountry's great customer service sent another bottle to replace it (can't say enough about how GREAT the customer service is!) The design is great! the execution should be too! Still, it is a novel idea and is awesome so you don't have to use snakes/brush tools to clean the bottle thoroughly!
**Disclaimer: you need to ensure that the caps on both ends are screwed on all the way so that the silicone gasket seals the bottle.

Member since

i picked up a couple of these and really like them. They hold plenty of beverage and both ends screw off for ease in cleaning. The wide mouth allows bigger brushes in for scrubbing.
Please make sure both ends are screwed on tightly as they will leak if not
So Fresh and So Clean

Outkast new what they were talking about when they wrote that song about these water bottles. Flavors do not stick around in these guys. It is pretty great because before I had this bottle I was always a little weary about putting hydration mixes in my bottles. Screw the bottoms on tight though!
Clean Bottles are great!
Perry Hall
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Warning, make sure the bottoms are screwed on extra tight, they have been known to leak ever so slightly.
I love my clean bottles, Preventing bottle funk and making sure that your hydrating are important, and this solves both! Not to mention, I know a few guys who work for them, and they are all stand up cats. Support the little guy!
Bryce Galloway

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
used it on my century ride last weekend and they worked great, holds plenty of water, and super easy to use.
The tip collapses
Member since
as soon as you put it to your mouth and want to drink from it the tip pushes in and you're not getting any water. Also, I have to agree that the bottle is too hard to squeeze. So between the top pushed in and the bottle too hard to squeeze you're not getting any water. And I bought two of these at some sporting store for hikers. I've yet to find a good water bottle that is easy to drink from, easy to hold and carry. I found the CamelBack bottle even harder to squeeze and drink from. Sheeeesh, just can't get a good drinking bottle any more!
drink from this all the time.

double sided bottle! sometimes i forget that bottom comes off and try to wash it from the top. other reviews say hard to squeeze? they must have tiny weak hands... the plastic is super soft.
And yes, bottle has another logo on it..? it's a water bottle. who cares. drink water
Worst Bottle - EVER!
Member since
Despite the 5 star reviews, this bottle is tough to squeeze, making it non-functional for a majority of people. Not only that, it isn't pictured, but it sports a "POWERBAR" logo on the side behind the Competitive Cyclist logo - not cool! If this was a sponsored bottle being resold - totally uncool.
The removable bottom and "easy to clean" idea is a gimmick. There are tonnes of other better bottles out there. This isn't one of them. Will never ever buy again.
Sponsored Bottle
Member since
This bottle has a Powerbar logo on the other side. Totally not cool which means it's a sponsored bottle and should not be for sale. And yes, hard to squeeze. Worst bottle - EVER!
Cool Bottle
Member since
I love that this bottle is double sided, makes it really easy to clean. Love the graphic. only complaint is the bottle is hard to squeeze.
Leak like crazy!
Member since
I bought 4 of these bottles. The promise of being able to clean them easily was the big draw. After washing 3 in the dishwasher (as prescribed) the never sealed on the bottom again. No matter how I tried to screw them on... they leak like crazy! 3 out of 4 -and the 4th one doesn't leak because I have never unscrewed the bottom. Save your money...
Easy to clean
Member since
Good bottle, not great. It's not the most pleasing taste, but it doesn't get the build up at the bottom like most bottles do. I still prefer a insulated bottle.
Great Bottle
Ben Kuhns
Member since
Perfect size coupled with their innovative cleaning idea makes for a great road bottle. Two of these keep me well stocked with liquid for most of my rides.
Haven't had any issues with leaking, just make sure you put that bottom lid back on nice and tight and you'll be good to go.
2nd Round is better than before
Cru Jones
Member since
The newest version of the clean bottle (Competitive Cyclist Racing Team) is softer than the old bottles and are easier to squeeze which was one of the few complaints with the previous versions. Personally I like the colorway with the black top and bottom way better than the blue.
Easy to clean
Member since
It's easy to clean. Good design.
Scott V. Baryo

nice to know your next drink is going to taste fresh. No more of that nasty stale water for me. Nice to be able to also wash out that bottle with your sport drink in it
Clean, clean, clean, clean
Steve Simpson
Member since
Just as the name implies, these are the only bottle to get if you use anything but straight water. Hell, I even use water 99% of the time and I still love them.
No funky flavors and they're safe in the freezer, just make sure you leave enough room for the water to expand and leave the mouthpiece open.
Clean is the name of the game
katie johnston
Member since
As you would expect from a water bottle named "Clean Bottle", this water bottle is very easy to clean after you've spent hours in the hot sun drinking energy liquids that coat the inside of your bottle like goo. Just screw off the top and bottom, clean with hot water and mild soap, and stick it on the drying rack for your next outing. Good as new.
One recommendation, which is the same for every water bottle: wash by hand. Dishwashers can get hot enough to melt the plastic

What Can We Do for God's Youth Today?
By Bishop John Abdalah
Metropolitan Philip has designated October Youth Month in the Antiochian Archdiocese of North America. Each October we highlight the contributions, activities, and needs of our youth. This year I would like to highlight their needs.
Our youth need Jesus Christ. The need: a real relationship with Christ that will sustain them when their faith is challenged by peers, academics, change, loss and fear. Our youth need pious and holy adults willing to share honestly. Our youth need mentors who will share boldly and unashamedly the Orthodox faith delivered to us from the Apostles and preserved in the Church without alteration or adulteration. Orthodox adults, our youth need you.
Our youth need liturgy. Liturgy is the cooperative work of God and His people. It is here that we join the angelic world at God's throne to praise Him and interact with His Word, and to be fed in the Eucharist. Liturgy by its very nature can only happen as we gather as the Church. This Church prayer does not happen at the hockey rink or golf course. It doesn't happen watching sit-coms on television or mowing the lawn. It only happens when we gather as the Church to be the Church. It only happens around the Eucharist and around the bishop or his designee. It is essential to knowing God in the biblical sense of sharing God's Oneness and living in Him. We who are made one with God in baptism are nurtured by God through His Church in Sunday and festal worship.

ALGANSEE TOWNSHIP (WTVB) - The Branch County Sheriff's Department is trying to figure out who was driving a car that crashed early Sunday and rolled over in a field in Algansee Township, leaving three people injured. Deputies believe alcohol was involved in the accident that happened around 2:30 a.m. on East Central Road, west of South Fremont Road.
The 3 passengers in the car said the driver ran to the road to flag down a passing vehicle but didn't return. One of the men in the wrecked car told 9-1-1 Central Dispatch there was one serious injury. 22-year old Eric Donley of Elkhart was flown from the scene by Air Care helicopter to Bronson Hospital in Kalamazoo and later discharged. The other two passengers, 24-year old Codie Howells of Coldwater and 22-year old Cameron Kosmerick of Galesburg, were checked out at the Community Health Center of Branch County.
The Sheriff's Department said a K-9 tracked about three-quarters of a mile away from the scene to a residence where it appears a vehicle had driven away. The accident remains under investigation. The Quincy Fire Department helped at the crash site setting up a landing zone for Air Care.

La Zebra Tulum, Mexico (Feb, 2012)
Fun little restaurant/ bar with seating right on the beach. These veggie tacos weren't on the menu so I was actually really impressed when I got them… Salsa was awesome too.

A 30-year-old Sanford man has been accused of killing a 3-month-old, according to Lowell police.
Jason Moore, 30, was arrested Friday and charged with first-degree murder and two counts felony child abuse, police said.
"Moore's relationship was babysitter and friend of the mother," police said in a news release.
Lowell police were called to Kings Mountain Hospital on Aug. 13 in response to a 3-month-old girl who showed signs of child abuse. The girl was later transferred to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte for treatment of abusive head trauma, officials said. She died Aug. 17 after being removed from life support.
Police did not say whether Moore was babysitting the child on Aug. 13.
Moore is being held without bond in the Gaston County jail. He will have a video arraignment Tuesday, authorities said. His first court appearance will be determined then.
This was not Moore's first arrest. Since 2009, Moore has been found guilty in multiple breaking and entering and larceny cases, court records show.
Moore is also scheduled to stand trial in September for a 2011 driving while impaired charge, according to court records.
