Gene Pool
How can we look at a child and kill it, by using "it"
we have distance us from the child they are no longer
unique, but just an expendable extension of us.
The intense love we have for a lost child is the grief
of our own demise…it is the only proof we ever lived
the loss of a gene, inconceivable future transgression.
A child killed in a drone attack in Pakistan stir us less
than the sight of a bunny rabbit run over; how sad it
had to die, but it crossed the road. A naked Jewish boy
in front of a mass grave, his cap hiding his modesty,
I condemn all mankind for his demise, he is our cruel
gene based viciousness, the survival of the genus and
for it to survive there is no room for compassion.
A man who kills children weather by drone or gun kills
himself and forever he shall walk in nights shadow.

PLEASE NOTE: The Ohio Driver License Renewal course is an ELECTIVE COURSE and is not required by the state of Ohio, nor is this course approved by the Ohio BMV. This course is recommended as an educational tool to help you become a more knowledgeable and defensive driver, and to prepare you to pass your OH BMV written driver license examination.

A SHOP window caught my attention. It contained a large Father Christmas surrounded by snow encouraging me 'To shop early for Christmas'.
I was somewhat surprised, however, as I was in shorts and flip-flops and it was August – one of those, seemingly few, hot summer days.
Christmas is a busy time for most of us and it is easy to get caught up in the noise, excitement and activity that is going on. However early we start our preparations, most of us still seem to be rushing around at this time of the year.
I love Christmas – the decorations, the parties, the friendly atmosphere, the cheeriness and the warm greetings which accompany us as we go about our daily lives.
But it is also a time when we need to remember those for whom Christmas will not be a joyful one, those who are lonely, homeless, cold or hungry, and those for whom this year will be their first Christmas without a loved one.
Christmas provides an opportunity for us to particularly think about, care and support those less fortunate than ourselves.
We need to ask ourselves 'What can I do to make a difference for someone else this Christmas?' It is also important not to lose sight of what, or rather who, is at the heart of our celebrations. At Christmas, we remember the gift of God's Son, Jesus Christ, born of Mary and laid in a manger. As the carol reminds us: 'How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his Heaven.
No ear may hear His coming; but in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.' May the joy, peace and love that comes from Jesus be with you all this Christmas time With warm greetings to all.

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them," said Henry David Thoreau, but he never met Thomas Meehan, who has spent 35 years on Broadway — from Annie (1977) to Annie (2012) — in a state of what's called "cautious optimism," gingerly walking on eggshells while attending the birth of new musicals.
He's had ten on Broadway (two Off-Broadway) and holds a distinction unequaled and envied by all: He is the only creative to have written three shows that ran more than 2,000 performances on Broadway — the aforementioned Annie, which he did by himself (2,377 performances); The Producers, which he wrote with Mel Brooks (2,502 performances); and Hairspray, which he wrote with the late Mark O'Donnell (2,642 performances). Almost superfluous to say here, he took a Tony at every turn.
This season he joins the rarefied Three-in-One Gang: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Alan Menken, Tim Rice and others who have had a trio of shows running simultaneously on Broadway. Now that Chaplin has opened, he's trotting out a couple of old shows with Christmas climaxes for a one-two holiday punch: On Nov. 8 at the Palace Theatre, Annie lifts off a third time, and on Nov. 9, Elf begins a limited revival (through Jan. 6) at the Hirschfeld.
Then, does Meehan take a break? No. He hops a jet to Hamburg for a musical Rocky later that month, with Drew Sarich playing Sylvester Stallone's prize-winning prizefighter. The $15 million the German backers put up give them first-production privileges, but Meehan's book and the Stephen Flaherty-Lynn Ahrens score will revert to English when the show charges Broadway in 2013.
By then, Meehan and "Everybody Loves Raymond" creator Philip Rosenthal will have lined up songsmiths to accompany the book they've already written for Tootsie, or Meehan will be deep into the administration of Dave, a musicalization of the Kevin Kline film about a presidential double.
All of the above, you must admit, is pretty impressive for an 83-year-old fugitive from The New Yorker and its "Talk of the Town" column. Throughout his long and glitzy ride, Meehan has remained remarkably level-headed and uninfected by theatrical tricks. His success at musicals mortifies him a bit. "The shameful fact is that I'm not remotely musical. I don't sing well. I don't play any instrument. I do have a good ear." And he has a good eye for a throughline, removing clutter, sharpening focus.

Meet Junior! He's not your typical cat. He loves to play in the water! He is just a happy guy who is playful and loves everyone. Junior is a 7 month old orange and white kitten who is such a sweetie!
Our Pet of the Week:
Leah is a four year old beautiful long haired calico who is front-declawed. Leah first came to AC PAW when her owner passed away. She was adopted shortly after she came to us, but very sadly returned as the people had another male cat who became jealous of Leah and was doing damage to their home. Their decision to bring her back to us was a very difficult one for them as she is a wonderful cat and they became very attached to her. But they wanted to do what was best for Leah and said whoever adopts her will be a very lucky person. She is a treasure. She is a lovely cat who is in good health, very social, loves to be brushed and minds her potty manners perfectly. She gets along well with dogs and other cats. You can see Leah at PetSmart.
Zoey is a very pretty gray four year old cat. She was owner-relinquished as the owner could no longer keep her. Zoey is a calm cat who will tolerate other cats if she has to, but would prefer to be your one and only.
Happy Wednesday! Shadow is smiling for you! She would really smile if you would come to visit her at PetSmart. She is a beautiful and very sweet 1 1/2 year old Tortie who is very friendly. She loves people and will do best as a one and only cat in her new home.
Say hello to Maddie! She is a very sweet one and a half year old lab who had been left at animal control with her puppies and became ill. She is all better now and is looking for a forever loving forever home.
Rocky is a 10 year old cat who had been abused since he was a kitten. He is in a foster home now, where he is finally beginning to show some trust, but is still a bit unsure at times and can become unpredictable. He will need someone who is willing to give him the space he needs. If someone would like to foster him, with the possibility of adopting him, please contact his foster mom Liz at 231-649-5970. He is a beautiful tiger and white kitty who was declawed on all four paws before he came to AC PAW. He is a wonderful cat who needs someone that understands he came from a very abusive situation and that he needs time to feel safe and needs time to learn to love, something he had never had his whole life.
Charlie is a 3 or 4 year old cat who came to AC PAW with a badly infected ear. After some surgery by a great vet he is as good as new! Charlie is an independent cat who likes attention, but on his own terms most of the time. He will make a great addition to an adult family.
Say hi to Gilligan! He's another new addition to the AC PAW family. Gilligan's family could no longer keep him. He is 3 years old and has a severe flea allergy and most of his hair has fallen out. He is looking much better since his hair is starting to grow back. He is a loving but shy boy and would love to find his forever loving home soon.
Meet Chrissy! She is brand new to the AC PAW family and is a 3 month old Shepherd mix pup. She is very sweet and very energetic! She will be ready for adoption soon! (Do you think she'll grow into those adorably giant ears?)
Gala is one of our three kittens who were found under an apple tree and named for apples by their rescuers. The kittens were tiny and sick, their eyes swollen shut with infection, but after loving foster care, they grew to be healthy, adorable kittens. Gala's litter-mates have found their homes, now it is her turn. She is the sweetest girl, who purrs, and loves to be touched and held. She is a very pretty white five month old kitten who is very playful, funny and has a dear squeaky voice. She gets along well with other cats. She hasn't been around dogs or kids, but is fearless and young enough to adjust to them

here is new york: a democracy of photographs
"The city, for the first time in its long history, is destructible. A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now: in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the latest edition."-E.B. White, Here is New York, 1949
here is new york was organized by four individuals (Michael Shulan, Charles Traub, Gilles Peress, and Alice Rose George) in the days immediately following the destruction of the World Trade Center. Its original mission was twofold. The organizers wanted to mount an exhibition of photographs relating to the events of 9.11.01 that was as broad and democratic as possible, open to anyone and everybody. Secondly, by selling prints of these photographs they hoped to raise money for the surviving children of those victims who might otherwise not be adequately taken care of: children of restaurant workers, undocumented immigrants, and the like.
The exhibition began during the third week of September in a small vacant storefront on Prince Street in Soho. The first photograph, a nondescript picture of the World Trade Center, was taped up in the front window. The call for submissions went out, and the response was immediate and overwhelming. In those turbulent days, it seemed as if everyone in New York had a camera. Thousands of photographers donated pictures; hundreds of thousands of people visited the impromptu gallery to view and to buy them; literally millions of people have by now seen the website, www.hereisnewyork.org. Ultimately, photographs from the attack on the Pentagon, the downing of United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, and of events in Afghanistan would be added. In the past year, here is new york has extended its audience, publishing a book and exhibiting the project worldwide. Its charitable aspirations have been successful beyond the organizers' wildest hopes: to date, over $600,000 have been donated to the Children's Aid Society WTC Relief Fund.
here is new york is subtitled "a democracy of photographs" because the images on display were taken not only by top photojournalists and other professional photographers but by schoolchildren, police officers, firemen, investment bankers, rescue workers, and amateurs of every stripe. In keeping with the project's truly populist nature (which the organizers feel is not only appropriate to the events of 9.11.01 but intrinsic to understanding them) all the pictures are hung identically, unframed and without titles or the photographers' names. The significance of the exhibition lies in its content, in its breadth and multiplicity, not in the source or relative value of any one image or group of images. Photography, it turns out, is the perfect vehicle to express what happened that day and in the days after, since the medium is democratic by its nature and the images infinitely reproducible.
The guiding principle of here is new york is simple: if one photograph tells a story, thousands of photographs not only tell thousands of stories but perhaps begin to tell the story, if they are allowed to speak for themselves, to each other, and to the audience. In the political sphere it is this principle, after all, which America's founders advanced as they developed our democracy: wisdom lies not in the vision or will of any one individual or small group, but in the collective vision of us all.
When here is new york first opened, its organizers envisioned an exhibition that would stay open for three weeks. Now, one year later, it has become clear that the terrible events which unfolded in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania last September are part of a larger story. And so, besides announcing that these photographs represent the face of our tragedy, here is new york declares that we understand the problem of terrorism to be a global one that respects no geographic or cultural boundaries. After 9.11, New York is Everywhere.
This exhibition was underwritten by Target Stores.

The QLZ Music Minute--Music news written by Bishop for Springfield's Real Rock, 92.7 QLZ
Cobain met GG
You may not know who GG Allin is, but Kurt Cobain did! It's being reported that the late Nirvana front man visited the underground sadistic punk rocker back in 1990 while Allin was serving time in prison. The revelation comes in a new book about the Flaming Lips, which details a meeting between Cobain, Flaming Lips drummer Nathan Roberts and Allin. That meeting was before a show back in Michigan before a Nirvana, Flaming Lips show. Allin didn't take kindly to the two visitors as the book reports he spit at them and said some not-to-nice things. Who is GG Allin? Just go and do a Google search, but try not to do it while at work. Unless your boss is down with you watching some depraved rocker cut himself on stage and throw fecal mater on people. Allin died of a, get this, heroin overdoes back in 1993.
Stanley's tell-all
Finally getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame won't be the only thing Paul Stanley writes in his book. The KISS guitarist and vocalist will reveal a ton of personal stuff in the memoir that's set to be released around the time of the Rock Hall induction ceremony. Some of the things from the official autobiography titled Face the Music: A Life Exposed will include struggles he has with deafness in his right ear. The singer says he doesn't want his book to come across as other rock and roll memoirs come across—pompous narcissism with no humility whatsoever. Stanley is the last member of KISS to release a memoir. The book drops April 22nd.
Weeks going solo
Saving Abel will have a change up in their lineup for the new year. Front man Jared Weeks is leaving the group to start a solo career. What does that mean for the band? They'll have a new front man in Scott Austin. Weeks is moving to Nashville where he'll start on a solo disc. Recently Weeks temporarily filled in vocals for Hinder after they parted ways with Austin Winkler.

In fairness, Nantz is a very good play-by-play announcer. His energy, pace and overall focus are top shelf. He doesn't bring the sense of history or gravitas to a game that Al Michaels does, but then, there is only one Michaels.
But I was disappointed in the way that Simms failed to take me inside the game -- explaining why something was working (or not) for one team or the other the way Cris Collinsworth does at NBC.
Here's my bottom line: Every time I was about to praise the CBS crew for doing something well in the first half, I was let down by a comparable failure in the second.
In the first half, I marveled at the production crew's ability to get replays up instantly after a big play -- replays that often allowed me to see the play from at least two angles.
But then in the second half, Ed Reed made a great interception in the Ravens' end zone -- and followed it up with a nifty run. I wanted to savor the interception and Reed's jitterbugging run, but just as the replay started to play, CBS went to commercials. And while they did show the play later, they only gave us the interception -- never the run.
Was Sunday's coverage an improvement over anything we have seen from CBS this year?
Yes, of course. It almost had to be.
But just once, I would love to have the kind of totally pleasurable experience watching a Ravens game on CBS that I often do with NBC or even the NFL Network -- when I can ignore the corporate punches the league-owned channel pulls when things get political.

Top news in this Bulletin:
A group of more than 20 Afghan civil society organizations Wednesday urged the Afghan government not to allow human rights violators to participate in the upcoming elections.
"We are concerned that insurgents and those who committed crimes against humanity may have a role in the elections. The government should have a specific strategy to identify them," said Ajmal Ballochzada, a civil society activist.
At least two civilians and a policeman were killed and seven civilians injured after a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle at a Nato base in the eastern Khost province Wednesday morning, local officials said.
The incident took place about 08:00 AM local time near the gate of an old airport now used as Nato base, provincial police chief, Abdul Qayoum Baqizai said.

What do to with a murdered goose: eat it! Obviously! »
New York City is set to kill a bunch of geese, again. This year, however, instead of gassing them and throwing their bodies in a landfill, NYC made a deal with a Pennsylvania slaughterhouse to truck the geese there, where they'll be killed, processed, and sent to Pennsylvania food banks.
According to the New York Times, "much of the outcry" came from not anger at killing the geese last year, but that "literally tons of tasty, high-protein free-range meat (an adult goose can weigh 25 pounds) [was left] to rot in garbage heaps." Yeah! I remember, um, none of that. Maybe it's true, though—maybe In Defense of Animals is super-angry because the goose meat was wasted. It's definitely not because geese that have lived in human-populated areas are unfit for human consumption, full of "PCBs, pesticides, and heavy metals." And the geese chilling in Prospect Park right now because they are molting and therefore "temporarily unable to fly" are definitely huge threats to airplanes.
Delicious, dangerous geese: destroy and devour! What choice does New York have? Obviously none, or else this wouldn't be happening. Right?

Prospect Park goose slaughter continues »
File under things to actually get mad about: New York City is set to kill more Canada geese in Prospect Park again this year. Last year, they killed hundreds without telling anyone but people noticed the geese were gone and it came out. This year, they've hired a "biologist" who, as the Brooklyn Paper describes it, is a gun-toting sharpshooter. Damn. Do people really go into biology thinking they will eventually be a goose sniper? Last year, they gassed the geese, they will probably do that again. I can't imagine it will be straight-up Duck Hunt out there.
The city's reason for killing the geese this year and last year is that they say the geese pose a risk to airplanes. Originally, they were killing birds within a five mile radius of the airport but they expanded the area to include Prospect Park, which is seven miles away. Why? I don't know. People that oppose the mass goose murder say that 1. there are more humane ways to control the goose population and 2. the geese in Prospect Park are permanent residents now and don't migrate north for the winter, so they aren't the geese a plane would come in contact with.
Friends of Animals contends that the real issue for the USDA is the goose droppings. WTF? And here's an appalling quote from Friends of Animals: "Mayor Bloomberg oversaw the gassing of 1,676 geese in city parks throughout the five boroughs last summer. A USDA report revealed that 89 percent of geese observed at sites throughout New York City and western Nassau have been killed." God damn.
I'll try to find more ways to help but for the time being, here's what you can do:
Tell Mayor Bloomberg and city officials: Stop the killing and harassment of Canada Geese.
Contact Mayor Bloomberg to oppose the slaughter and harassment of geese in New York City:
- If you live in New York City, you can call the Mayor's office at 311.
- Outside of New York City, call 212-NEW-YORK.
- Fax a message: 212-788-8123.
- Send an email to the Mayor.

Goslings in Prospect Park, filmed by Seth Kaplan
According to everyone's favorite, the New York Times, 400 Canada geese* that lived in Brooklyn's Prospect Park were euthanized last Thursday. I am not kidding! They GASSED them! Sick! Then people going to the park were like, WTF happened to the geese? Finally the city was like, we totally killed 400 of them and didn't tell you. Why did they kill them? Because they are worried the geese will fly into engines and crash planes. All the fear comes from a plane that had to land in the Hudson because of geese in January 2009. But guess what! THOSE geese were not any of the resident geese! According to local teacher and my new favorite person, Seth Kaplan: "It's really important to remember that the Canada geese that collided with Flight 1549 were tested by researchers at the Smithsonian and they were not populations that lived in our area," and they say most of the Prospect Park geese are probably residents. Apparently there are two types of the Canada geese: ones that fly north for the summer and ones that are permanent city-folk, but they can't really tell them apart. So they just kill them all.
Because I am a genius scientist, I did some research on "bird strikes"—that's what they call it when a bird hits a plane. That makes it sound like some Disney movie about a rag-tag team of military birds. Slate has a great article about "Everything you need to know about bird strikes, water landings, and other airplane emergencies." They say that generally, nothing happens when a bird hits a plane. According to birdstrike.org, "Over 9,000 bird and other wildlife strikes were reported for USA civil aircraft in 2009," of which 31 percent were geese.
[Megan Rascal note: I had to edit this whole part because I totally fucked up the data analysis! My bad] There were 9,000 wildlife strikes but an actual crash from a bird strike is very rare. Since 1955, there have been 54 crashes due to bird strikes. So in one year there were 2,790 bird strikes by geese, but in 55 years, there were only 54 crashes (due to bird strikes in general, not just geese).
I don't want anyone to die from bird strikes, but why are birds so high on the list of priorities when it comes to airplane safety? There are also other things they can do besides gassing 400 geese. One theory for an increasing number of bird strikes is that planes are quieter than they use to be; they should make planes really loud! There are also other methods to reducing the goose population, like not allowing all the goose eggs to hatch. They can find the eggs and paint them with corn oil, which stops the eggs from hatching. Gassing 400 geese just seems like the last solution on earth! I know geese are mean, but they have a right to live in peace.
*Did you know it's Canada geese and not Canadian geese? Blow my mind why don't you!

5 Disturbed Component Makers: Compelling Buys, Or Value Traps?
Bill is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and the rise of mobile devices have disturbed computer component makers. The stocks of many of these component manufacturers are trading at low valuation multiples. Are these stocks compelling opportunities for investors, or are they value traps? Below, I will examine Apple and component makers Jabil Circuit (NYSE: JBL), Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN), Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD), and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC).
Searching for Value
Financial ratios for these companies follow:
There are many companies on this list that are cheap on the basis of earnings multiples. Apple, Intel, and Jabil Circuit are all trading at attractive price-to-earnings multiples. Jabil and Intel are both very cheap and are on opposite sides of the struggle for dominance being waged between personal computers and mobile devices. They are both nearly as cheap as Apple on a price-to-earnings and are much cheaper on a price-to-sales basis.
The only company on this table that rival's Jabil Circuit's low price-to-sales ratio is Advanced Micro Devices, but it is having issues establishing profitability and has a high level of debt financing.
Texas Instruments Results
Texas Instruments predicts fiscal first-quarter sales between $2.69 billion and $2.91 billion, blaming lackluster demand from electronic-device makers as they postpone orders and keep inventories low. According to Bloomberg data, $2.89 billion is the average estimate from analysts.
The economic recovery had not been broad enough to lift demand and earnings at Texas Instruments. Net income for the fourth quarter fell to $298 million, or 25 cents per share, from $264 million, or 23 cents per share for the same period a year earlier. Texas Instruments' Chief Executive Officer Richard Templeton said, "We continue to operate in a weak demand environment. Our visibility into future demand remains limited as our lead times are short and our customers are reluctant to commit to extended backlog."
In November last year, the largest maker of analog chips announced plans to shed 1,700 jobs to save around $325 million in costs as the company shifts away from producing digital chips for tablets and mobile phones, although such an exit would also trim about $135 million from the first quarter sales.
Texas Instruments noted that its customers' inventories are kept at low levels, and may have to place orders on short notice. Chief Financial Officer Kevin March said, "Even the slightest uptick in their end-demand and they are going to be caught short. Everybody's going to have to replenish."
Clearly lackluster guidance does to not justify the P/E multiples of Texas Instruments being about twice that of Apple, Jabil, and Intel.
AMD 4th Quarter Results
Advanced Micro Devices' story also fails to distract attention from its more reasonably financed, cheaply-valued peers. Hopes that server chips may salvage the company's future are not enough to overwhelm concerns over its high levels of debt.
Advanced Micro Devices reported fourth-quarter sales of $1.16 billion that topped analysts' average estimate of $1.15 billion. The company's sales of server chips helped the firm exceed expectations. However, AMD still took a loss of $102 million for the quarter, equivalent to 14 cents per share and lower than the 18 cents predicted by analysts.
Amid the shrinking market for personal computers brought by consumers' fascination with tablets and smartphones, the second-largest maker of PC processors is trimming its workforce and selling assets to raise cash for new products. AMD seeks to incorporate technology from ARM Holdings into its processors for servers to take a bigger share of the server chips market from Intel. Intel currently controls 96% of the market compared to AMD's meager 4%. Even if the company managed to increase its revenue from processors for servers that run data centers, its share price dropped 56% last year.
AMD sees a silver lining in the surging demand for smartphones and tablets, as this also increases the need for data and application servers that provide mobile data and cloud computing space. Chief Executive Officer Rory Read said, "There's a tsunami of devices that are beginning to emerge, and they're connected on a cloud."
The gross margin for the past quarter decreased to 39% from 46% in the fourth quarter of 2011, when the company still had operating profit of $138 million, or 19 cents per share, out of $1.69 billion sales. First quarter revenue is forecasted to be in the range of $1.02 billion to $1.09 billion, a 6% to 12% decline from the previous quarter, according to Bloomberg. AMD has struggled as sales of PC processors continued to decline, bringing its cash reserves and equivalents down to $549 million from $776 million.
In order to preserve cash by reducing expenses, AMD reduced orders from its supplier Globalfoundries last month, maintaining reserves including cash equivalents plus marketable securities at $1.2 billion by the end of 2012. Newly appointed CFO Devinder Kumar predicts that the company would be back to generating cash from operations by the second half of this year.
Changes at Intel
After serving the company for almost four decades, Intel's president and CEO Paul Otellini said he would resign as of May 2013. For the last eight years Mr. Otellini was Intel's CEO.
Intel recovered from a 42% drop in earnings in 2006 Under Otellini's leadership. Since 2010 Otellini achieved record sales and profit for Intel, largely by taking market share from AMD.
Otellini could have remained Intel's CEO until May 2016 when he would have hit the firm's mandatory retirement age. His decision to retire could have been based on market-surprising problems that either he or the board did not want him to manage, though it is also possible that he simply just wants to retire.
Supplying Apple Isn't Easy
Apple is weighing replacing Intel processors in its Mac computers with the kinds of chips that it uses in its iPad and iPhone devices. This could make it easier for engineers to develop similar features for iPhones, iPads, and Macs. In the past several years, Apple has integrated ARM Holdings technology into its iPhone and iPad. ARM licenses chip designs and technology to various phone chip companies.
Jabil is an Apple component supplier. iPhone 5 supply constraints might delay payback from Jabil's investment in facilities that help the manufacturer make components which could readily meet the high standards Apple demands for every component. This does a number on a supplier's margins. Apple's tough requirements for high quality iPhone 5 casings may be increasing costs.
Intel, Apple, and Jabil are buy candidates for long-term investors. Jabil and Apple shareholders could benefit from it sales growth from mobile device growth. Intel's future is less clear, though it is trading at low enough valuations to make it an interesting buy candidate. Investors should avoid Texas Instruments and AMD at this time.

Monitoring Peregrines
Once a federally endangered species, Peregrine Falcons had all but completely disappeared from the Midwest by the 1960s, due to the use of DDT. But over the last 27 years, Mary and her fellow team members on the Chicago Peregrine Program have helped to successfully reintroduce these beautiful birds back into the Midwest. They currently monitor nest sites, track parent id as well as watch offspring hatch, mature, and fledge (take their first flight). Through these observations, scientists can determine how well their efforts are working to create a self-sustaining population of Peregrines.
Feel free to explore below about to learn about Peregrine Falcons, their recovery status, and what you can do to help. Be sure to check out the links to our Live Web Cameras that let you peer into a Peregrine nest. Like us on facebook!

Comments about Baudville Recognition Receipts - Making The Difference:
Mostly I like to surprise people who just need a little encouragement or recognition. Generally, I leave the note at their desk when they are not at their desk. Then it's an unexpected surprise. I use a push pin to post it somewhere in their workstation that they will notice later. They always leave it up. I'm always very specific with my message so when others see it, they know what it is for.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Game Stocks Rally Following Weak Data and a Weak Outlook
Brian is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The outlook for physical retail video games turned negative last Friday as data showed significant weakness during a crucial month. As a result, stocks within the sector opened the day lower, but then remarkably rallied to post strong gains. The performance seems a bit strange, and could be presenting somewhat of a value trap for investors.
The Industry at a Glance
The NPD Group is a firm that tracks the sales of physical goods in the video games industry. Throughout the last year sales of video games have weakened as consumers continue to utilize smartphones and tablets for entertainment use. However, the data for the month of December was particularly grim.
According to the NPD Group, video game hardware and software sales for December fell 27% and 23% respectively year-over-year. The numbers are particularly bad considering the launch of several big name games and because it shows the continuation of steep declines. In November, sales fell 13% and 11% for hardware and software, therefore as I said, the declines look to be much more aggressive as of now. Furthermore, sales of the top-selling console, Xbox 360, declined 17.6%, which could indicate weak video game sales for some time to come.
Despite a great fall in sales within the video game industry, the industry still saw sales of nearly $11 billion in 2012. However, there is a rapid shift occurring, and it's starting to look as though companies who operate in this segment will see significant fundamental declines. Therefore, it's hard to imagine how the largest stocks in the space could have rallied on Friday. It doesn't make much sense! However, maybe it's because these are fundamentally cheap stocks? Perhaps we should take a look at the top three to determine if the valuation suggests that all bad earnings have been priced accordingly.
Is there Upside in a Dying Industry?
Combined, Electronics Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI) completely dominate the video game space. These two stocks combined with GameStop (NYSE: GME) rallied to post significant gains on Friday as analysts came to the rescue. The reason that analysts upgraded the stocks is because of valuation, and big-name video game releases for 2013 could overshadow poor sales. However, with Activision Blizzard and Electronics Arts dominating the space, we have to assume that much of the decline in sales is a result of falling sales for each company.
After looking at the metrics for both Electronics Arts and Activision Blizzard I realized that both companies are valued very similarly. Both trade with forward P/E ratios of 11.76, have revenue between $4 and $4.5 billion, yet have completely different margins. Activision has a profit margin of nearly 20% while Electronic Arts' profit margin is just 0.37% over the last 12 months. Both companies have significantly improved in terms of efficiency and have managed to grow behind top titles such as Call of Duty and Madden. Therefore, it might be fair to suggest that both companies are valued fairly compared to their fundamentals; meaning each stock should perform with fundamental growth or decline.
In the last year, Activision Blizzard has lost just 5% of its value while Electronic Arts has lost more than 27% of its value. Both stocks have greatly underperformed the broader market but have a great presence of institutional ownership. Looking ahead I see three major fundamental issues for these two companies: 1) sales are declining as consumers switch to mobile and social platforms 2) data shows that consumers are not willing to pay more than $5 for games on either mobile or social which means less profit per sales 3) and finally, concerns of either company not having the "next" billion dollar video game.
In relevance of slowing sales and a fundamental shift to mobile/social platforms, no other company might be more affected than GameStop. In the last year it has lost only 6.5% of its value because it's already incredibly cheap; forward P/E ratio of 6.84 and a price/sales of 0.31. As sales continue to fall as will the fundamentals of GameStop. Earlier this month the stock slipped 7% after reporting that holiday sales fell 4.6%.
At this time it's hard to identify value in any of the stocks that prosper from video game sales. The bulk of profit in this space is from physical video game sales, but as of now, the bulk of demand is in the low margin low revenue social and mobile platforms. The problem for companies such as Electronic Arts, Activision Blizzard, and even GameStop is that 42% of all new games are being focused on mobile. Therefore, digital revenue is increasing but the attention span of digital users is much shorter due to a larger selection and less revenue per game; which is a reality that this industry now encounters. Therefore, I don't see the industry being able to evolve and adapt to these new changes. I would watch for declines in the valuation of these companies, as the decline in fundamentals become even more abrupt in 2013 as the shift becomes more relevant throughout the globe.
