The "Switzerland" of Payments
Chad is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Investors looking for a play on the movement towards electronic payments would be well served to consider the, "Switzerland" of payment systems. VeriFone (NYSE: PAY) is positioning itself to benefit no matter who leads the way in the next payment revolution. With the company recently reporting earnings, investors get a chance to examine the huge growth this company is seeing. Considering the company's growth prospects and current price, I have no trouble calling this company one of the best values in the payments industry.
The payments industry is undergoing a transformation much like when the first debit and credit cards were introduced. Entrants into the field such as eBay's (NASDAQ: EBAY) PayPal unit, new products like Google Wallet, and even Apple's recently released Passbook, are changing the way customers think about what they carry in their wallet. The great news for VeriFone investors is their company is central to many of these solutions. The company made two extremely impressive statements in this quarter's earnings report. First, the company supports 9 of the top 11 payment processors. Second, VeriFone supports Google, PayPal, Groupon, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. As you can see, almost no matter who wins the battle to transform the payment industry, it's very likely VeriFone will be there to benefit. Let's look at the company's earnings report and you'll see just how impressive this company really is.
To understand VeriFone's earnings, I should mention that the company has acquired two major businesses in the last year or so. Hypercom and Point have both added significantly to both revenue and earnings at the company. Revenues increased 56%, but even without acquisitions, revenue grew 16%. The company also saw non-GAAP earnings-per-share increase an impressive 53%. On a geographic basis, the U.S., Canada, and Asia were the strongest regions. As investors might expect, struggles in Europe were a drag on the remainder of the company's business. VeriFone saw strong growth in both their Systems Solutions division with revenue up 38%, and the Services division reported revenue growth of 119%. Clearly the company has benefited from its recent acquisitions, but the longer-term growth driver is the adoption of more electronic payments. The company's financial statements showed a few positives, but also a couple concerns that investors need to know.
VeriFone increased its gross margin from 41.52% last year to 42.43% this year. This increased margin helped drive higher operating cash flow, which was up 40% before asset changes. There are two challenges that VeriFone will face in growing earnings in the future, and both are related to the company's recent acquisitions. First, the company now carries about $1 billion more debt and 17 million new shares. Second, this additional debt increased the company's interest expense from under 20% of operating income last year to almost 30% of operating income this year. These are not necessarily major problems, as much as line items to watch going forward. With such impressive growth, one assumption that many people might make is that the stock would be expensive as well, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Looking at the payments industry, one of the more popular names mentioned is eBay because of their PayPal unit. I've made the argument in the past that at some point PayPal will become more important to eBay than their traditional marketplaces business. However, eBay's stock is not as attractive as VeriFone, because the company sells at a decent premium to its roughly 13% expected earnings growth. A direct competitor of VeriFone's is NCR (NYSE: NCR), which is more diversified than VeriFone and its offerings. The company offers point-of-sale terminals, software and support services, ATM machines, and much more. NCR looks like a good value in its own right. The stock sells at less than 10 times forward estimates, and earnings growth expected at more than 15%. However, VeriFone offers an even better option. For a company seeing huge earnings growth, and operating as the veritable Switzerland of the payment industry, the stock appears tremendously undervalued. Keep in mind; this is a company analysts expect to grow earnings by more than 25% over the next few years. In addition, the company has beaten earnings expectations consistently over the last four quarters. When you hear these two facts, you don't expect the stock to sell for less than 12 times forward earnings projections. It's possible that investors are worried about the additional debt and shares the company issued to make their recent acquisitions. However, those concerns appear unfounded considering the company's recent earnings. I would suggest investors put VeriFone at the top of their Watchlist. If the company continues on its current path, the stock won't stay undervalued for long.

White Journey coats.
I meant to post these yesterday, but other things came up and I didn't get around to it. Honestly, while white would look excellent, I can't imagine a long white coat to remain white for more than about ten minutes. Opting for a light gray wold probably look just as good and be that much easier to keep clean.
I also thought that it would look great in taupe or sand/tan.

Jeff Herron says he understands why fans might've been thrown for a loop Wednesday when they heard the news.
Herron, who led Camden County to three state championships and national prominence in Georgia's highest classification in his 13 seasons in Kingsland, was announced as the new head football coach at Class A private school Prince Avenue Christian in Bogart.
Reached by phone, Herron said his wife asked the same questions: Are you ready to leave the spotlight of the highest classification and the national renown that Camden has earned for a school of fewer than 500 students? Won't you miss it?
''While I'm not going to tell you that stuff doesn't have some importance, it's never been as important as some think,'' Herron said. ''I just like coaching kids and the relationship you have with your players and coaches. That's why I got in the business. It's going to be less players [at Prince Avenue], but that gives me a chance to build even closer relationships. That's more important to me at this stage of life than playing on ESPN.''
With that, Herron's wife, Inka, was all on board. Their daughter Brittany lives in the Athens area. She is expecting her first child any day. It will be the Herrons' first grandchild. Herron also will be closer to his father, Thomas, in Virginia.
Herron, 52, won Class AAAAA titles at Camden in 2003, 2008 and 2009 and was 158-18 at Camden on the Georgia coast. His overall record is 242-45.
In 1999, Herron led Oconee County to its only title and is one of 13 coaches in state history to lead two different schools to football state championships. No coach has won state titles at three schools.
Prince Avenue's campus, originally in Athens, is located in Oconee County. Herron also was coach of nearby Cedar Shoals in Athens from 1990 to 1993.
Prince Avenue was 11-3 in 2012 and lost in the Class A private championship game to Eagle's Landing Christian. Prince Avenue started varsity football in 2005.
Former coach Mark Farriba resigned earlier this year to return to his alma mater, Stratford Academy in Macon.
Herron said he plans no changes on the coaching staff. Prince Avenue defensive coordinator is Richard Bell, a former defensive coordinator at Georgia. Herron coached Bell's son, Murray, while at Cedar Shoals some 20 years ago.
''I'm hopeful that all of them will stay, and they'll all be given that opportunity,'' Herron said. "They have a great staff as witnessed by their success.''
Herron is not the first coach to leave a top program in the highest classification for something smaller.
Blair Armstrong left Peachtree Ridge, the 2006 state champion, for Banks County. Tim McFarlin, whose Roswell team shared that 2006 state title, retired briefly, re-emerged to help build the football program at Class A King's Ridge and now coaches at Class AAA Blessed Trinity.
''There's no question that a program this big [at Camden] that I am more of a CEO,'' Herron said. "Having a smaller environment hopefully will help me do things that I love. But I'm not saying that I'm down-sizing. That would be a disservice at Prince Avenue. Their goals and dreams are just as important as the people at Camden. I'm going to put the same energy there as I did here.''
He leaves Camden as the most winning school in Georgia's highest class since he was hired there in 2000.
''It has been a good run,'' Herron said. "Like I told my players, I'm a small piece of the puzzle. I'm thankful I was along for ride. They're still going to be good. If I'd waited for them to run out of talent, I would've been around a long time.''

Your Coach is Gone????
February 19th, 2013
11:27 pm
If Herron has 30 years, he can get full retirement of his top two year's at 60% of that amount. Then he can get a full salary at the private school worth whatever they'll pay him. It's called double dipping, and it is the main reason he would leave. Mo money. Ron "the missing" Link is doing the same thing in hoops. Rusty Hudson has been doing it for 16 years at Westminster as their AD.

Just upset these kids had to find out through Blogs, Twitter and Facebook and not from him! Sad he is going to uproot his son who is a sophomore and who has played with these kids for ever just for more money! Well see ya the other coaches are the backbone of this team anyways!! Camden will be just fine

Welcome back to mediocrity Camden co.!
February 20th, 2013

He has been a good coach, and so best wishes as he moves on. Camden will replace him, have no doubt. I only wish Camden would devote as much time to replacing the elementary music teachers, and returning our system to its place as a leader in the arts. Until we have a well rounded education available to our kids, I can't spend much time worrying about replacing the head football coach.
February 20th, 2013
12:53 am
Concerned parent it wasn't the counties call on doing away with elementary art program. That was a state issue all elementary schools lost art. As for Coach Herron wish him luck. Hate to see him leave but I agree Stephens or Crowder would be good replacements

{{"All of 1-6A is throwing simultaneous block parties!!!"}}
Don't you mean ALL of Class AAAAAA (6A) is throwing block parties?
It is most of the rest of the state's highest classification (now 6A, formerly 5A), including obviously many Metro Atlanta and North Georgia teams, that have had to go on the road to deep Southeastern Coastal Georgia to get their brains beat in every postseason during Camden County's run of dominance.
Depending on who takes over and how the Wildcats program responds in the aftermath, Herrod leaving Camden for Prince Avenue outside of Athens likely continues and possibly even accelerates the long-term shifting of the balance of power from South Georgia to North Georgia in Class 6A and likely in all classes of Georgia high school football.
February 20th, 2013
6:30 am
Camden Fan, it most certainly was the county's call and specifically the Superintendent. The state did stop funding the music teacher position, but that didn't mean that local school boards couldn't. Across the state, many, many systems found a way to save the arts programs. EVEN TINY CHARLTON COUNTY has their music teachers still. That is the county line and what they say when you call the BOE, but that's not the whole story. I don't mind money spent on the football team or at the high school. I just wish someone would llook out for the younger students like my child.
February 20th, 2013
6:47 am
Instead of asking why are you leaving, we should be thanking Coach Jeff Herron for building one of the best high school football programs in the country. What a legacy Coach Herron has left for us. I love the Herron Family and are very excited about their future and our future.
February 20th, 2013
7:57 am
First and foremost the main concern is and should be the kids, I hope whoever the next coach is will not come in and make alot of changes, as for my pick for the new coach, Slattery or Cofffey would be a great replacement.
February 20th, 2013
8:12 am
WOW ! Was it the lure of the money? Maybe a slower pace? Maybe the move was for the familys best interest? Maybe he just wanted to get to a faith based enviorment? He has done his time in the Goverment school system. Hope he enjoys his time at the new place. He should not have a hard time finding good players I am sure the line to get in his new school will be longer.
February 20th, 2013
8:22 am
I think playing in the new power region 1 may have something to do with the move.
February 20th, 2013
8:36 am
All about the $$$. The guy will never admit it publicly…. But there is no other reason to leave the top job in the state. It will be funny if he flops.
February 20th, 2013
8:44 am
There are plenty of reasons to leave top jobs. Sometimes you just need a fresh start or a new challenge. Sometimes family issues come into play. Sometimes you feel like you've accomplished all that you could at a school. Sometimes you see the pipeline is draining. Sometimes you're tired of the admin team at your school
Do any of these apply to Herron? No idea, but as a fellow coach I wish him all the luck in the world at his new school.
February 20th, 2013
8:46 am
I highly doubt that Crowder will bolt for Camden now that he has been named the new coach at Creekview. As for Stephens, he has MORE than a sweet deal at Lamar County.
Those guys are great and would be great for Camden but I feel they are staying put for a while.
February 20th, 2013
9:00 am
"It's a Great Day to be a Wolverine!" Welcome to the Prince family Coach Herron! With Coach Farriba leaving some of us were afraid that the program might take a giant step backward, but with the addition of Coach Herron it looks like we could just be getting started! Prince doesn't accept GOAL scholarship money like the bigger Private schools do, but Coach Herron should have enough contacts in this area and children of former players to start building a program that will attract players.
February 20th, 2013
9:03 am
Jeff Herron is a good coach and well worth the money, but Prince Ave is a hick school in the middle of nowhere with zero academics. I can't imagine how christian schools are getting to this point, but here they are with a football coach making three times more than the teachers. Oh well, too bad Camden, guess you should have upped your price a little. The Christians are out-bidding everyone in the state.
February 20th, 2013
9:11 am
"Prince Ave is a hick school in the middle of nowhere with zero academics" Really? Do a little investigating and see what percentage of the Senior Class @ Prince goes to college and the quality of colleges they are actually being accepted by. Prince provides a great education for it's students and is only rivaled in the Athens area by Athens Academy and North Oconee.
February 20th, 2013
9:12 am
@Hubert Green…that is ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT information. It's 17 yrs! Ha!
February 20th, 2013
9:27 am
Tom Jenson… you don't have a clue about Prince Ave. and your comments are dead wrong! I have absolutely no connection to that school but live in a neighboring county. It is a tremendous academic school. So much so that Mark Richt and several other UGA coaches send their kids there. It is also in the Athens community and there are is always cultural and sports actvities going on. Also about an hour drive from Atlanta. I can see many reasons why Coach Herron would want to get bacfk in the Athens community. He will for sure get to see Brice(sp?) Ramsey's career up close at UGA.
February 20th, 2013

Thanks to Coach Herron for the years he's given us and Good Luck in your future. You have done a great job of building a SELF-SUSTAINING program that actually contributes money to the other sports and school programs that can't bring in the fans and support themselves. You've taught our boys how to be good winners and also how to be gracious losers and how to play the game with honor and committment. We'll miss you this fall. GO WILDCATS!

WoW !! I can't believe all of the Camden fans that are bashing your coach !! Camden, although they were building up to something special, had average to slightly above average success before Coach Herron. You should be thanking him for his contributions to your program. He helped turned your school into a state powerhouse which will, in turn, make it a more appealing to an excellent replacement. If they decide to hire from within and go with Coach Coffey or another assistant, I'm sure the wheels will keep right on churning and burning up the competition. For Coach Herron, congratulations on your new job and the Christian education for your kid or kids.

Really nice to trash Prince when you obviously have no knowledge of it….tremendous school that Mark Richt sent his kids to.

How about the fact that his daughter is married, lives in Athens, and is pregnant? Ever thought that he and his wife might like to see the grand children?
Camden football isn't more important than life. Even to Jeff Herron.

Hey,,What about the JOB Coach Farriba has done at Prince!!! He is one heckuva Coach and even more,, a heckuva man and does a fantastic job of shaping young peoples' lives!!! I was one of the first players he coached during his first year of coaching at UGA on the 1978 JV Team where he was a Grad Asst coach, and 34 years later Istill live by some of the messages he taught me…Good Luck in Macon at your alma mater!

Herron was not a teacher with a supplemental duty as the football coach. He received over $100K for coaching HS football. It is such a disgrace when the School Board and administration care more about the football program than educating ALL students, including those with special needs.
February 20th, 2013

I personally would like Coach Coffey (current OC) take the program.
February 20th, 2013

Good Luck to Coach herron and his family. His daughter lives up that way and is expecting their first grandchild and beleive me that is a HUGE reason to move but the double dipping will make it really sweet too.
Camden will do fine, we have talented kids, great support system and our next head coach will be just what we need at this time. So dont worry about The Camden County Wildcats we were and will always be a powerful winning football team!!
Oh and PS that's correct about each county deciding to do away with music and arts in their schools. Several systems in GA have managed to keep their art and or music programs.

Out of the shadow of Rush Propst. Maybe now an offense with some imagination! Lamar Co. is biting their nails. Will Franklin Stephens be contacted? Herron did what any other good coach could have done at Camden in all those years playing such a weak region schedule.
February 20th, 2013
10:31 am
Great job Jeff Herron at Camden. You will be missed. What you have done for Camden (3 State Championships , built great community support , national recognition ) is unmatched. Good luck to you and your family.
February 20th, 2013

Camden may just promote from within to play it safe. If that's the case, assistant HC Byron Slack would be a prime candidate.
February 20th, 2013

Does it really matter what the decision was? He made it in the best interest for him and his family. He owes no explanation to anyone.
February 20th, 2013
10:49 am
Sometimes people just get their priorities right: faith, family, football. I take Coach Herron at his word; there is nothing like the feeling of exercising the freedom to put your in balance and follow the things most important to you. I wish him the best and will follow Prince Avenue Christian with interest.
February 20th, 2013
10:56 am
well we know they won't hire a black coach!
February 20th, 2013

liberalefty – I hope you're wrong and they get Coach Stephens back here. Good luck to Coach Herron thank you for all the years of hard work you put in here.

Some programs can lose a HOF coach and still maintain the culture. Herron, like Dorsey, Bazemore, and Hyder are winners for the entire community, including the Arts program. They require higher standards of performance across the organization, including the proud band.
Stop whining and you too can experience whatever success you want. Congratulations Coach Tubby Herron, for setting another example of how winners appear to be lucky to the unprepared or uniformed. It is taught, that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. "If you prepare the field and then it rains, will the man that didn't prepare his field call you lucky at the harvest", paraphrased from Coach Grant Taylor, FTG.
God bless,
February 20th, 2013
11:53 am
Actually, only two coaches in in Camdens' region make less money than Herron. I'm sure $ might have played a part.

We used this hotel for a 1-night stay for a short visit from holidaying in Tokyo. The hotel provided a convenient base for exploring some of the main historic sites. If travelling from Kyoto main railway station, would recommend using the Number 9 bus which stops opposite the hotel (taxis are expensive and it is a considerable distance to walk - especially on a hot day). Breakfast was lovely, albeit not included in the room price. Staff were helpful and polite. The hotel decor feels slightly dated, but not in a bad way. We would certainly stay there again."
Free drinks and cocktails at lobby bar every evening."
The hotel is a great spot to stay. It's very convenienantly located next to a subway station and some of the older neighbourhoods, though a bit far from most of the temples. The staff was very nice, and our room was spotless, though a little on the small side. There was even an events board in the lobby that showed local festivals and things that were going on with maps and brochures in Japanese and English."
Easy to get around. U have one of the busiest street around you. A supermart that open till midnight and 4 accessible train lines to paint the town red."
I first stayed at this hotel in 2005, and have stayed about two dozen times. In the three or four years since my last trip, the hotel has upgraded a number of things. The bedding is more comfortable and there are more pillows of varying firmness. Bathroom amenities are improved. Breakfast is better and there are more dining options in the attached commercial center. If you are in need of a location at, or near, the airport you will be well set."
Great location, short walk to Osaka station and all the nice shops. Beds are very comfortable, room is quiet."
Pros: nice & new property, decent size room. Room is very clean & modern looking. Cons: we were given a smoking room even though we requested a non smoking. The bed wasn't very comfortable. This hotel is far from Osaka. There aren't many restaurants or shopping around. The closest is Amagasaki station, which is about 10 minutes walk. Directions: from JR station Shin Osaka, go to JR Osaka station. Then walk to Umeda station (Hanshin line). Take Hanshin to Amagasaki station. If you are already in Osaka, you can go to Amagasaki directly from Namba station on Hanshin line."
Excellent hotel at the JR station in Nara. The room was a good size for a triple. The bathroom was very comfortable even for Japanese standards, separate toilet. The hotel has a bathhouse where you can enjoy a hot tub experience."
The hotel is conveniently located near JR Nara station, which is a 5-minute walk away (we didn't take the Kintetsu line but the hotel also seems close to that station on the map). The surrounding neighborhood is relatively vibrant for a city of Nara's size - many restaurants on the same block seem to be open until 11pm, so it is convenient for travellers wanting a meal coming in from the train. The hotel is also a 5-minute walk to Nara Park, and about a 15-minute walk to Todaiji temple. The hotel has large rooms compared to the other hotels we've been to in Japan. There was ample space around the beds and in the bathroom. The photo of the hotel on the website is not a good representation of the hotel - the interior and rooms are much better than what the photo would suggest. The only item that was not as good was the Wifi - although Wifi is available in the room, it was rather slow. Otherwise, would definitely recommend this hotel to others if they are in Nara."
I loved the public hot baths with the view of the 5 pagodas. Staff was extremly friendly and helpful.Perfect location - in the park and close to old town and the new section of town."

Emma Stone: The Side-Part Poster Child
Photos: zimbio.com
Hat's off to Emma Stone's stylist, whoever you are. The starlet hasn't stepped out looking anything less than extraordinary in any of her recent appearances. Just yesterday, at the London premiere of her new movie, The Amazing Spider-man, she stunned in a to-die-for deep-V Ellie Saab jumpsuit. It's a sassy piece of clothing, and exaggerated hair and makeup would have distracted from its total brilliance. But Stone understands balance and went with a smoky eye, understated pink lip, and super-sleek hair.
While she made all the right choices with her makeup, the look really stands out because of her minimalist hair style. Straight and oh-so-shiny, her hair looks every bit as sophisticated as her ensemble. The best part, though, is her textbook-perfect side part. It's angled precisely so that her bangs really frame and flatter her face. I realized that I can't remember the last time the actress didn't wear a side-part. Sure, she has updos where there's no visible part, but a quick Google image search confirmed my suspicion: the left side-part is practically her signature style. I'm a big fan of this very deep and stick-straight part, but the casually side-swept look also works well on her.
What do you think? Should Emma Stone switch up her part or should she stick with what works?
Emma Stone is usually a red-head: which shade of crimson do you prefer on the actress?

Malawi priest comes to Milford
By MICHELLE DELANEY, Globe staff reporter
Sitting there bundled up in a collared shirt with a sweater overtop and a jacket on, Father Francis Makwinja is especially layered for what seems like a typical, if not oddly warm, fall day in Milford. Iowa's chilly autumn weather is quite a shock for Father Francis considering his hometown is in Malawi, Africa.
"Finding myself here, it is very strange to see the sun shining while at the same time it is very cool," said Father Francis.
Father Francis was born and raised in Africa in a devout Catholic family. This helped him make the decision that the seminary was the right path for him. He has been a priest for 14 years now.
The story explaining how he came to Milford is over two years in the making. Before coming to Milford to be St. Joseph's pastor, Father Tom Flanagan spent 15 years in missionary work with the Opus Spiritus Sancta communities in Africa, India and the Philippines.
"I enjoyed my time working in the missions and when I came back to the diocese and could no longer be in the mission countries, I said to myself that I would help raise awareness for the missions no matter where I am," said Father Tom.
Keeping his promise to himself in mind, Father Tom began the process of bringing Father Francis to Iowa. The course involved getting permission from Bishop Walker Nickless and the Diocese of Dedza in Africa. Father Francis also had to finish his current job and all of the paperwork had to be approved to obtain his Visa.
"Since the process took quite some time, I kind of eased into the idea of coming here. I was nervous only about the weather and how I would adapt to it, but I felt at home with the idea," Father Francis.
Malawi is among the world's least developed countries, and as Father Francis explained, the people are poor and life is quite simple. With Father Francis coming to work in Milford, he is able to allot a portion of his salary back to his diocese.
He will be in Milford for two and a half years and Father Francis is already hoping he can extend his stay for another two and a half years.
While in Malawi, Father Francis spent about eight years teaching in seminary school. He would have to travel every weekend to outstations. He noted the vast change in coming to a parish where everything is centrally located.
Since he has an extensive amount of experience teaching, Father Francis plans on teaching some religious education and helping with the adult faith formation.
"I hope that he will continue to broaden our perspective about the larger church, the missions, life in another country and how the church is in another country. Father Francis gives us an opportunity to learn about the larger world church," Father Tom said.
At the moment, Father Francis has been settling into his new surroundings and the parish has been celebrating his arrival. On the weekend of Nov. 19, the Rosary/Altar Society had an official welcoming for Father Francis where the parish was encouraged to meet him.
In addition, St. Joseph's took up a second collection to send back to Malawi as a financial gift to the Diocese of Dedza and to show the parish's gratitude for sending Father Francis to them.
"I received a very warm welcome, this helped me to adapt easily," said Father Francis.
He is very eager to start learning about the parish and seeing where he can help and bring in his skills and expertise. Father Tom and Father Francis will both be presiding over masses and daily parish functions.
As one can imagine, life in Iowa is immensely different from life in Africa. While Father Francis noted that he misses seeing children, women and even some men dancing during the liturgy, he is enthusiastic to start his work here in the United States and bring a different perspective to St. Joseph Parish.
"I think, with Father Francis here, the parish will gain a greater understanding of the church, the world and our responsibility as Catholic Christians to support the bigger church," said Father Tom.

Authorities have searched a canal near the Delaware River for signs of a woman who went missing in the early hours of Saturday, January 26, 2013, in Lambertville, N.J.
Sarah Majoras, 39, left John and Peters Bar in New Hope, Pa., and was on her way home in Lambertville around 2 a.m. Saturday, authorties said.
The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office released security camera images that show that she crossed the river over the bridge from New Hope into Lambertville. Then she turned north on Lambert Lane and vanished.
"It's a small town. It is possible that someone saw her," County Prosecutor Anthony Kearns III said. "Hopefully we'll get a phone call with some information."
State Police divers searched the D & R canal in Lambertville on Monday and Tuesday, officials said.
The pair of glasses that cops found near the canal on Monday do not belong to Majoras, authorities said.
Detectives have canvassed the neighborhood looking for possible witnesses or private security cameras that may have recorded something, the prosecutor's office said.
Kearns said so far investigators have not found evidence of foul play, but are looking at "all possible scenarios."
Authorities describe Majoras as 5 feet 4 inches tall, 140 pounds, with blue eyes and blonde hair, and last seen wearing blue jeans, brown leather boots, a white cap, and a camouflage jacket.
If you have any information, please call the Lambertville Police Department at 609-397-3132.

Exploring Kotlin
I've been exploring Kotlin recently. Kotlin is a new statically typed JVM language and was announced about half a year ago. This month JetBrains released its first milestone candidate which I decided to have a closer look at.
First of Kotlin is still in its early stages. A lot of things work pretty well (I'm especially impressed by the IDE support) but there are still numerous issues. I've hit a couple of bugs so far.

Higher Learning Commission Accreditation Process
The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) is an independent corporation and one of two commission members of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), which is one of six regional institutional accreditors in the United States. The Higher learning Commissions accredits degree-granting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region. In the United States, colleges and universities voluntarily seek accreditation from nongovernmental bodies. There are two types of educational accreditation: institutional and specialized. The HLC conducts institutional accreditation. The Commission accredits more than 1,000 colleges and universities in 19 states. The states are Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, South Dakota, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Trinity College of Nursing was accredited by the HLC in 1994 and was given the authority to offer associate and baccalaureate degrees in nursing. In 2002, the HLC conducted a site visit to authorize the College to offer associate degrees in Emergency Medical Services, Radiography, and Surgical Technology. After this accreditation visit, Trinity College assumed the name of Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences. Respiratory Care was added to the complement of health sciences offerings in 2007. The College has experienced many changes since the last accreditation visit in 2003; planning and preparation are in process for the site visit, which will occur from December 3-5, 2012 when the College will host an HLC site visit team.
Preparing for reaffirmation of accreditation requires support and assistance from all programs and departments on campus. A steering committee comprised of faculty, staff and students will coordinate this process. The College welcomes and seeks suggestions and feedback from all of its constituencies.
Accreditation is a process that evaluates quality and provides a road map for institutional improvements. Accreditation assures students that their academic programs meet nationally recognized standards and is required for Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences to receive federal funds for student financial aid and research.
Focus of Reaffirmation of Accreditation at Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences
Assess the quality of the institution and its effectiveness
Assist the institution in making improvements in its operations and effectiveness
Provide mission-driven accreditation

A young realtor is on a mission to rehab houses in some of Jackson's less desirable neighborhoods, but he says city officials are not making it easy for him. So, he called Three On Your Side for help with one piece of property on North Alabama Avenue.
It is 258 North Alabama Avenue and it was in rough shape when Fabian Nelson's company bought it. After renovations, it is a place you could call home, but Nelson says he can't rent it to anyone because of standing water in front of it. He says it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes and presents other potential health problems.
"So, we just don't want anyone living in that condition right now," he said.
Nelson told me he's called city officials for help more than once.
He said, "The first time we called, they said we're going to send someone out to look at it. They sent someone. They never called us back. We had to call them. When we called them they told us well we went down and looked it but the problem is there is a water lead on another property."
Nelson said he pointed out to them that if the storm drain were functioning properly the water would runoff and not stand.
"And so, they said we're going to send a supervisor out. We heard nothing back, so we called back about a week later and they told us that the supervisor went out, said it was nothing they could do because they couldn't see the storm drain, because it was covered in water, so each time we call, we just get a different story," Nelson said.
The 25 year old Mississippi College graduate tells me this has been going on for two months now. He says he has already pulled land rolls and contacted absentee owners of surrounding blighted properties in hopes of purchasing them, something, he says, those who live here are responding favorably to.
He said, "They're happy to see someone in there trying to make a difference over there and that's what we want to do. We want to make a difference over there and bring the neighborhood back around for them."
Nelson continued, "The people of Jackson deserve better and that's what we want to do, give them something better."
I reached Quida Bride, a spokesperson for the City of Jackson, for comment. She says she will check into it as soon as offices re-open tomorrow from the holiday and she will give me an update.
Let us know how we can help you take back your neighborhood. And, if you've already turned your community around, we want to know how you did it. Just send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) - Wausau Public Schools controversy about holiday concerts and religious music has attracted attention from advocacy groups far from Wausau.
The Madison based Freedom From Religion organization has not been involved in the recent Wausau music situation. District officials have not disclosed if anyone is suing or threatening to sue the district over religious musical content in school concerts.
Two groups have been in touch with district officials urging them to reverse course and restore the guidelines in place before last week. They are the Scottsdale Arizona based Alliance Defending Freedom and Madison based Wisconsin Family Action.
Rory Gray from the Alliance Defending Freedom says they support defend religious liberty, right to life, and marriage and family issues. Gray says a Wausau parent contacted them. "We were actually contacted by a mother who's opposed to the new policy, and we were also called by the Family Policy Council in Wisconsin about this issue to get some legal advice, and so we decided to send a letter to the school board why the new practice is really not a good idea and is completely unnecessary." He says schools across America play religious music in their curriculum, because it's part of culture and history, and because many great works of music had religious themes. "Courts have uniformly approved having those in public schools, so we were rather concerned and confused as to why the district thought that was an issue."
Gray says the Wausau situation is unlike anything he has seen before. "Honestly, I can't remember a lawsuit ever being filed over this sort of thing, just because the courts have been so unanimously supportive of including religious music in school choir performances." He says this is concerning because there was nobody from outside raising an issue, yet the district basicly made it impossible to hold holiday concerts for no apparent reason.>The Wisconsin Family Action President Julaine Appling agrees with Gray, but says this has stirred up interest from legal groups from both sides of the issue. "I do know this, that Alliance Defending Freedom has done nothing about a lawsuit, nothing. I'm not trying to say that they are the ones. They are not, but I know legal groups are beginning to look at this and take action."
Appling is a former school board member in Whitewater, and has seen difficult issues from that perspective. She says school boards could impose these religious music limits if they choose to. "School boards have enormous latitude. Now because the law is more generous than what the Wausau School District is attempting to force their music faculty and music programs to do, doesn't mean they don't have the right to do that." Appling says school boards may have the authority to make restrictions like those discussed in Wausau over the past week, but it doesn't mean they should. She also believes Wausau's response to the public Tuesday was inadequate. "I don't think it's smart, and I don't think the school district has laid out a very valid case at all in defense of their decision. I especially think that from my perspective, the legal paper that was produced by the law firm that is representing the Wausau School District, I didn't think that was very meaty & very authoritative at all."
Appling plans to attend the special meeting of the Wausau School Board Thursday at 6:30 p.m. That meeting is at the East High School auditorium, right after the board meets in closed session with administration and legal counsel.
The school's attorney has guided administrators towards limits on religious music. There are at least three issues likely to come up: Can the Wausau West Master Singers perform religious songs in and out of school? Can the elementary holiday programs be reinstated? Should the administration have involved the school board before making the changes?
We may get the answers Thursday.
