Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Texas Instruments as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, increase in net income, notable return on equity, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 45.45% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 35.98% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Turning to the future, naturally, any stock can fall in a major bear market. However, in almost any other environment, the stock should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed nice gains in the past year.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income increased by 36.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $265.00 million to $362.00 million.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.52, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Despite the fact that TXN's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 1.67 is high and demonstrates strong liquidity.
- TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC has improved earnings per share by 45.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INC reported lower earnings of $1.50 versus $1.87 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.72 versus $1.50).

Achieving the Benefits of a Green Economy through Clean Energyby -
How can policymakers deliver low-carbon development, particularly clean energy, at affordable costs? What strategies have countries used to attain the economic benefits of building a clean energy industry while keeping the burden to consumers low —and who is succeeding, and why? These are just a few of the questions that policymakers grapple with when tackling the challenges associated with transitioning to a green economy, one of the key themes of the Rio+20 conference. They're also questions that WRI seeks to answer through our upcoming, cross-country analysis of clean energy industry development.

At the eastern end of Amuk Bay is Candi dasa, a relaxed resort that appeals mostly to older visitors, with a wide choice of accommodation and restaurants. A good centre for snorkelling, diving and exploring the east, it makes a nice change from some of the more frenetic resorts in the south of the island. The main beach has suffered serious erosion in recent decades due to over-construction in the area – the offshore coral reefs were harvested to provide lime for building tourist resorts in the 1980s – but there are several small pockets of white sand along the waterfront where hotels have created artificial beaches.
The pretty lagoon in the centre of Candi Dasa, just across the main road from the temple, is a useful landmark. Most of the accommodation in Candi Dasa is spread about 1km along the main road running just behind the beach both east and west of the lagoon. East of this central section is which Forest Road has some quiet guesthouses.
The group of tiny islands lying just off the coast (Gili Tepekong, Gili Biaha and Gili Mimpang) offer excellent sites for experienced divers (currents can be strong), including walls, a pinnacle and the dramatic Tepekong Canyon. All the operators also arrange trips further afield to Padang Bai, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, Amed, Tulamben and Gili Selang.
For fantastic views over the coastline, follow the headland trail that forks off the road leading east in the direction of Amlapura. Beyond the headland there are some pretty beaches, with wide stretches of sand.
The reef along the coast is gradually rejuvenating and there is some decent snorkelling just offshore, stretching for about 1km westwards from the area in front of Puri Bagus Candidasa hotel. Take care not to venture too far out and be aware of your position as the currents can be hazardous. You can also go on snorkelling trips to more distant spots with local boat-owners, and dive operators also take snorkellers along on dive trips; always be clear whether or not equipment is included in the price.Read More
Watch out for jellyfish, especially at dusk. Places that are totally harmless during the day are suddenly home to jellyfish sporting massive tentacles (3m long tentacles, in fact, courtesy of the blue jellyfish) that whip you and leave you oozing black poison from painful lumps. Ultimately they don't do any damage but travel with antihistamine and avoid swimming at sunset, no matter how romantic it might seem at the time. The tiny red jellyfish that float about during the day do little more than give you a weird electric-shock sensation.

- Beautiful Sunday night date w/wife.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/28/2014Quite a treat to find such a great restaurant so close. Our expectations were far exceeded. Can't wait to return, and we will !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Fish in TownFishLoverVIPDined on 9/27/2014I had blackened mahi-mahi, and my husband had salmon over orzo. Both portions were enormous, and also delicious! Our fish was perfectly cooked. Mine was served with mashed potatoes and spinach, and everything was absolutely delicious. Our server was Molly, and she was charming and efficient. We had a lovely dinner.Special Features:
- Just ehblackheroineDined on 9/20/2014We went to celebrate our anniversary. I was really looking forward to the experience. The hostess was great as I'd put the wrong time in my calendar, but she made it work. Our experience went downhill from there. I specifically said we were celebrating our anniversary when I made reservations. Our server was less than enthusiastic. I asked for grapefruit juice and she immediately said they don't have it, then checks and brings me a glass. We were ready to order and tried to catch her eye, but she disappeared in the back. Our foods portions were smaller than expected for the price and our sides were lukewarm. By that time we were just ready to leave, forget asking for an anniversary dessert. We'll spend that $145 somewhere else next time.Special Features:
- Great service and good food.bjsechampsDined on 9/19/2014Less expensive than Mitchell's Ocean Club, but the food was not impressive.Special Features:
- Good seafood, good priceschris13Dined on 9/12/2014Finally, good seafood that won't break the bank in Columbus. McCormick & Schmick's serves good, quality seafood that's attractively presented and offered at a reasonable price. While not cheap, it won't drain your wallet either like some other seafood restaurants in the area. After living most of my life in Florida where good seafood is abundant and inexpensive, I've searched for almost 4 years for good seafood that wasn't outrageously priced. I found it.Special Features:
- Failed to impressMandyVIPDined on 9/7/2014Too long of a wait for our dinners to arrive. Once they arrived, we received a different vegetable of the day than on the menu, the mash potatoes were cold and the fish portions were noticeably different even tough we ordered the same entre. Don't think we will be returning any time soon or recommend to anyone.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/6/2014We went to McCormick and Schmick's to celebrate my birthday, and it was a great experience. I had notified them ahead of time that I am unable to eat gluten, and the server was very knowledgeable of what items on the menu were gluten-free and how they were prepared. I started with the lump crab tower, and then for the main course I had the stuffed Atlantic salmon with sides of mushrooms and red pepper white cheddar mash, and my dad had the lobster cobb salad. Everything was delicious and prepared very well. After dinner we went over to the bar to watch the OSU football game, and the bartender was very friendly and eager to engage in conversation with us. Overall it was a memorable experience and we will definitely be back.Special Features:
- intotrackVIPDined on 9/6/2014I ordered the stuffed salmon, and it was fantastic!!!
- Nice menulunchbunchDined on 9/5/2014Very nice menu with a lot of seafood and steak selections. They always have a couple of fresh seafood specials. I like their walnut-apple mixed greens salad, and they have a variety of appetizers available. This is a very handsome restaurant - we enjoy the booths - large and comfortable.Special Features:
- Very Disappointedla1015Dined on 9/2/2014My husband and I have been to this restaurant on many occasions. Since my husband loves seafood, we went for his birthday, however, the quality of the food has declined significantly. The last two times we went, the food was not as good as usual, but this time was awful. My husband's food was rubbery and inedible, and mine was overcooked. It tasted like it had been sitting for hours and then reheated in a microwave. Although they tried to bring my husband another meal, his second meal was equally disgusting. Our waitress was very nice, but the food was terrible and they still charged us for my meal (although not his). I don't know what's happened to McCormick and Schmicks, but I don't intend to return anytime soon.
- There's life after Landry's buyout!hhill1Dined on 9/1/2014We had always enjoyed M&S, but recent word of mouth and online reviews talked of a decline in food quality, often attributed to their purchase by Landry's. We were assured that we recognized our server Trish from "the old days", who was as professional, cheerful and helpful as ever. The lobster tails were tasty (maybe not up to Maine lobster-shack tastiness, but acceptable!) and the mussels were delicious.Special Features:
- Mediocre foodvkeysDined on 8/31/2014I've been for happy hour several times and it's always a great experience. Chose to dine this time and will stick to happy hour. Food was mediocre at best. Service was good but slow given how few diners there were. Great wine selection.Special Features:
- Upscale seafood restaurantStrahd98Dined on 8/31/2014This restaurant is usually my go-to place for seafood and special occasions. Generally the service is pretty decent, even when busy. This last trip to the restaurant was okay but the service was not as good as usual. We went on a Sunday evening for dinner which meant the restaurant was not as busy as a Friday or Saturday. The waiter did not stop by very often and we had to wait over 30 minutes for our food. When it did arrive, it looked and tasted great, but the mashed potatoes that came with my dish were a bit dry. The waiter stopped by once to tell us the food would be out soon and never came back with the food. One of the hostesses brought the food out. I might think twice about going again considering the prices.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014My husband and I love this restaurant and we come for special occasions and when our daughter is home college. Loved your chef's special one weekend with halibut back a few weeks. Therefore, we choose this location for our 24th anniversary. This last time, I tried the crab cake entree. Upon arrival, my crab cakes were a little "too done" i.e. burnt on one side. I felt that chef strategically put the brown side down on the plate and covered the cakes up with the corn salsa (which is one of my favorites). I advised the matre'd and she said she would notify the chef but nothing was done to address the quality i.e. an courtesy dessert, a coffee, or even a discount to the meal.Special Features:
- Not worth the tripEMc13Dined on 8/30/2014We were very disappointed with our experience. Bad food and service.
- Just OkayPepper2VIPDined on 8/29/2014A little disappointed in this last visit. Usually some of the best fish in the city and service is generally very good. I guess everyone's entitled to a not-so-good day. Just hope this isn't a trend. Buttermilk fried oyster appetizers fried to a rock hard crisp with no flavor whatsoever. Bang Bang Shrimp missing most of the sauce and the entrees were merely okay. Coupled with excuses of why several sides were not available but could possibly be available by the time our entrees were ready pretty much added to the disappointment. Common sides not available on a Friday night at 7PM? Again; hopefully this was a fluke as we've always enjoyed this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- never againCaliDined on 8/28/2014There was very annoying music playing constantly in the background. We felt like we were in a 70's disco. My clam chowder was very salty and the texture was as if it was pureed in a food processor. My fish & chips were also salty and overcooked. My wife said her filet was ok but nowhere nearly as good as other restaurants such as J Gilberts. I told our waiter about the overuse of salt in the chowder and again on the fish & chips. He just said sorry you didn't like it. We'll never go back.
- Disappointed at BestNot2happyDined on 8/23/2014Waitress was very unorganized , waited 10 minutes for a steak knife by the time it was delivered it was cold . Wife's chicken was very over cooked . Table seated after us received their appetizers before we had even received our cocktails. Atmosphere was nice but service and food were a great let down and it was not that busy on the night we were there so we can't even say that was he reason .Special Features:
- Excellent ServiceRoleModel83VIPDined on 8/23/2014Service was outstanding, very attentive and kind server. Menu was outstanding, plenty of options and fresh fish as well as chef's specials. I ordered a steak inside of seafood, but it was disappointing. For $28.99, I received a 6oz. New York Filet with only a side of about 5 or 6 asparagus. The offering was very tiny. Additionally, the steak wasn't that great. Pretty standard and not very thick considering the price. The portion was incredibly small, though. That was the main issue I had with my meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love McCormick & SchmickJamesDined on 8/23/2014The food at McCormick & Schmick is always excellent. It is my go-to place for great seafood. It is one of my top five places to eat in Columbus. My only grip has nothing to do with the restaurant but is there no place to go where the clientele can do a little better than cut-offs and flip flops, even on a Saturday night?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good foodcbusfoodieDined on 8/22/2014The food was great! I recommend shrimp stuffed with crab.Special Features:
- Love McCormicks and SchmicksAK15Dined on 8/20/2014Never miss going to M&S when I visit Columbus. Amazing oysters and fantastic food,wine and atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday Dinner66birthdayboyDined on 8/19/2014Went to this restaurant for my husbands birthday dinner. The food was very good and the service was outstanding. We had a very nice time. There were 7 of us in our party.Special Features:
- DisappointingStephVIPDined on 8/19/2014I first had drinks and appetizers in the bar. The food was bad and the service was slow. We had very greasy and poorly presented calamari followed. We also had hummus and a chicken/lettuce wrap. All were really unappealing. Even though I had a reservation and gave my dining companion's name, we were seated at 2 different tables despite the fact that we both referenced the reservation. Our entrees and service in the dining room were much better than in the bar but nothing special. I have dined here many times before with better results but this trip was a major disappointment.
- Special1CharminglyDelightfulDined on 8/17/2014It was the first time my wife and I dined in this facility. The menu fit her requests and our wants for our 1 yr anniversary. Restaurant was not busy, so it was pretty quite. Service was outstanding and the timing between each course was near perfect. We were not getting each course right after the previous, so you had time to eat and converse while the other was being prepared. Food was cooked to specifications. Empty plates were removed within a timely fashionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible eveningDelicousnessDined on 8/15/2014My partner and I had our date night at this establishment and we were treated to an amazing evening. Every course was presented well and we left content and happy. I had been here before for lunch and for drinks, but the dinner service was unbelievable. I will be back again and again.Special Features:
- Great PlaceZimmDined on 8/15/2014I love meeting my friends at McCormick and Schmick's just about every year for my birthday luncheon. We are always treated well. The food is always fresh, well prepared and perfectly seasoned.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service, OK foodfairytearVIPDined on 8/11/2014We ordered the Monday Surf and Turf and 8oz Filet. Everything was a bit on the salty side. Calamari appetizer was pretty good. Server was very attentive. He noticed we used our Landry's birthday reward points when we paid and offered to bring us a complimentary dessert. Overall experience was just OK. Expected a little bit more from the food.Special Features:
- Great place for our anniversarySfoodieDined on 8/10/2014My husband and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and it was a great place to do that. It was special for us to dine somewhere really nice and it made our first anniversary very memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday night on the patio5050505050VIPDined on 8/9/2014We dined on the pation to enjoy the beautiful evening. The service was excellent. The bread is one of my favorites - sourdough served warm. I had the steak and lobster for dinner - nice filet medallions in a bourdelaise sauce with a lobster tail - perfectly cooked and just the right portion size. The white chocolate mousse and strawberries served in an almond cookie basket was awesome - a nice, light, refreshing dessert to satisfy those of us with a sweet tooth.Special Features:
- Nothing SpecialBusysoccermomDined on 8/9/2014Food was average and one of our meals was over cooked. The only good thing was that the manager agreed that the dish was not up to par and took that meal off our bill.Special Features:
- Not quite copper.DekeDined on 8/1/2014My $32 copper river salmon dinner looked and tasted like Atlantic farm raised salmon. I was surprised to see it on a menu in August, given the brief time the fish is usually available. Our side of Gruyere mashed tasted like a box mix of mashed potatoes with a modest sprinkling of cheese baked into it. Sort of granular and not at all tasty or gooey or "share-worthy". The haricot vert and carrot dish accompanying the salmon was excellent. My wife had the crusted trout, which she proclaimed "OK". Same green bean side dish. Fortunately, we had a nice bottle (plus) of Jordan to wash everything down. Overall, disappointing for the money. Outdoor dining was wonderful, as was our server.Special Features:
- Always excellentpegharrisDined on 8/1/2014I have been to this restaurant in many cities and i am never disappointed. Great great food. Oh and they have blue cheese olives for the vodka martini's loved thatSpecial Features:
- Always enjoyable...JamesVIPDined on 7/31/2014We always enjoy dining at McCormick & Schmick's. Food, drink and service always top notch. This was our 3rd visit in little over a month.Special Features:
- Happy HourTrixieDined on 7/29/2014Food was good prices great. Need more seasoning though on items. Firecracker shrimp was good but lacked umph. Calamarie was a little fishy and chewy. Bruchetta was good but needed a little more sauce or spice than just tomatos chopped. Lettuce wraps were good but could be improved w a peanut sauce or aioli. Steak tartar was good but salad again needed a little umph. Quality was good but I would definetly step up flavor/seasonuing. Price #1 Service #1 Qualtiy #1 but memorable in taste #5 middle of the road. Wouldn't crave any of them. Would go back if suggested by friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/26/2014waitress was not knowledgeable about menu items; tuna was not fresh.
- First timer, and would come again.AwesomeEatsDined on 7/25/2014Seafood was as fresh as if Easton was near the ocean. Server's name was Corey, and he was awesome. Matter of fact, he was very attentive and sociable. Which I love that in a server. I felt more like a friend than a patron. And the interior was beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!LraabDined on 7/25/2014Went for restaurant week, but their whole menu looked wonderful. Just perfect all around!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- H0mesickGirlDined on 7/25/2014Warm and inviting--great ambiance. Service was excellent. Fried Calamari had vegetables mixed in--not included in the discription but blended well and was delicious. The shrimp trio was to die for!!! Served with green beans and rice--perfect blend of flavors. My husband said the snapper was fabulous. Delicious cosmos. Creme brule was the perfect topper. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Horrible experienceHorribleDined on 7/24/2014My fiancé and I were very disappointed after going to this restaurant. We had herd this restaurant was supposed to be amazing. We went during restaurant week to just get an all around tast and experience of the place. We waited over 30 mins just for our appetizers and left after an hour and 20mins! We did not even get our entrée! Very disappointed!! I will never go back! For a supposed "high end" restaurant, it was horrible and a waste of time.

When Labour MP Paul Farrelly, a member of the Commons culture and media select committee, raised the matter of several Luxembourg companies used to avoid tens of millions of pounds every year in tax, Fairhead responded: "I would start with my premise which I think is shared at Pearson that its appropriate for corporations and people to pay tax according to both the spirit and the letter of the law... the structure which was criticised at Pearson was very standard at the time
An obscure but valuable loophole
The notion that the scheme followed the spirit of the law is nonsense. It worked by creating a special Luxembourg partnership controlled by further Luxembourg companies that were controlled by a UK company, Pearson Luxembourg Holdings Ltd, of which Fairhead was a director. Under anti-tax avoidance laws, such tax haven companies would still have been taxed in the UK; but by creating a partnership and exploiting the vagaries of Luxembourgish accounting rules, Pearson, with the help of the accountants selling the scheme, found an obscure but valuable loophole.
Closing it in 2008, the then minister Jane Kennedy told parliament that the rules are an important part of the UKs defences against tax avoidance and some highly artificial tax avoidance schemes that use partnerships and trusts have been marketed in an attempt to avoid the effect of the rules. Since executing a highly artificial tax scheme is the precise opposite of following the spirit of the law, and Fairhead knew full well that that is what she was doing, her evidence to the committee looks false.
As for the claim that the scheme was standard, this is also untrue. An insider dealing with these issues at the time tells the Eye that there were two or three dozen British companies using these schemes, but as a proportion of the several hundred that could have done, it remained a minority sport.
Dirty money launderette
Fairhead was no more convincing on her record at HSBC, where she chaired the audit committee responsible for internal control as it became the worlds largest dirty money launderette, notably for Mexican drugs cash, and incurred a $1.9bn fine in the US. Fairhead had only the standard failed directors response: "I think one has to be realistic and say sometimes bad things do happen and sometimes the controls that you think are effective turn out not to be so and there I think its about how you respond.
Pressed on how well she performed her role of challenging the bank, Fairhead waffled: "You always look back and say: did I question enough and what more could I have done? So what were her answers to her own questions, Farrelly asked. The incoming chairwoman spluttered and failed to answer, instead claiming that duff information had come to her from Mexico and offering more flannel about restructuring the business after the event.
Asked how she would respond to difficult issues brought to her directly, Fairhead cited the kinds of procedures used (woefully) at HSBC and said she would listen to any complaint as long as it had gone through the proper process which is precisely how large organisations squash problems in the first place. After all the BBC has been through, Fairhead looks some way short of what it needs.

I love this area rug and I'm so happy that I decided to buy it even though the size isn't perfect. Wonderful quality and very pretty on my dark hardwood floors! It's very soft on your feet and the shag isn't too high and really shows off the beautiful pattern through out. The only thing is that the dimensions are closer to 7ft 10.5 inches x 10ft. If you get the Durable Hard Surface & Carpet Rug Pad to go underneath it, then the rug is too short so you'll have to cut the padding to fit. Overall, it's an excellent rug and it really compliments my living room! I highly recommend this rug.
I purchased this rug to brighten up my living room. It looks fantastic on our bamboo floors and makes the room feel cozy and inviting. The rug is what I would call an oatmeal color and the medium brown swirls are eye catching but not distracting. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
We ordered this rug and although Overstock said it would take 5-10 business days, it came in 2! We are highly pleased with the product. It seems to be of high quality, made in Turkey. It includes instructions on cleaning and general care on a tag on the back of the rug. It is very soft on the bare feet and plush. It looks identical to what we saw on our computer screen, including the color. The cream is almost an oatmeal color and the brown swirls are like a cinnamon color. We are very picky with things we purchase for our home but are very pleased.
The rug arrives with no surprise. the quality is okay, matches the price. (if in two hundreds zone). the color matches what shown in the picture. One side of the edge was not well made, so I have to hide that under the sofa. Overall it is okay. I am not crazy about it, but my husband likes it. I read so many reviews and think it is a great rug, I just want to say that the quality is okay, it is not that great. you can find better quality rug in like *** for similar price.
Perfect size for my large hardwood floored living room. Feels and looks of great quality, and style. I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's soft and not too shaggy, just enough to add the plush feel I was going for, but still have style and structure. I've added a skid-free carpet pad, so it has extra cushion.
I love this rug. This is the second rug I've ordered for my living room. It is lush and comfortable to walk on and the styling is modern. The only thing I would say is that I could not clean my last rug with a carpet shampoorer and with pets.... you need to clean the rug from time to time. Also, after about 2 years the rug pile lays flat and cannot be raised again even with combing tools.
Very soft and great design. Perfect in our bedroom. Fast shipping - would definitely recommend.
This rug looks rather white in the photo but it is a true oatmeal color, with the swirls being a medium brown/beige in color. The swirls are like cut-outs. This rug is made well and has a nice thick pile to it. True to size and I really love it.
Love this area rug. It is soft and makes the room feel cozy. Great product, great price.
I looked for weeks to replace an old rug. Great value compared to the other rugs I looked at. I kept coming back to this one. I'm so glad I did. Looks amazing and I could not be happier with my choice. The color looks exactly like the picture (cream & taupe). Very plush. Fast delivery and was packaged perfectly.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., August 25, 2011 – Hoping to hit a high note for charity's sake, the Encore! Cast Choir and Orchestra – a volunteer ensemble of nearly 300 talented Walt Disney World Resort cast members – performed a series of six concerts in July and August benefiting the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The concerts, "An American Revival – A Concert Celebrating the Voice of America!," were held at Premier Theater at Disney's Hollywood Studios and featured classic pop, gospel and patriotic songs that celebrate the grand musical history of America.
"This year's shows [are] a tribute to the voice of America," said Clay Price, artistic director and founder of Encore!. "[Showcasing] the sounds and emotions that have musically shaped our nation. From Americana, Gospel, Jazz, Swing, Broadway, and even "The King" himself … something for everyone to enjoy."
Founded in 2002, Encore! gives Walt Disney World cast members and their families the opportunity to showcase their talents and perform great music for worthy causes. The group is comprised of a 175-person choir, 65-piece symphony orchestra and 20-person dance troupe.
Since its inception, Encore! has donated the funds from its ticket sales to local charities, raising more than $150,000 to date. Beneficiaries are determined by group vote; Encore! selected the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts as their 2011 beneficiary.

Softball Readies for Final Road Series
April 27, 2012
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State softball team will stay on the road this weekend when it travels to Lincoln, Neb. The Spartans and the Cornhuskers face off in a double-header on Saturday (April 28) that begins at 2 p.m. ET and continues at 4 p.m. The series wraps up on Sunday (April 29) at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast live on the Big Ten Network.
"Nebraska is new to the Big Ten, but they aren't new to me or the softball world," said head coach Jacquie Joseph. "Nebraska is a nationally respected and competitive team, but if we can keep the game close and put ourselves in a position to score, then we will be alright."
Series History...
Last Time Out...
Senior Ali Grant led the Michigan State offense against the Fighting Irish. The Lutz, Fla. native was two for three at the plate and scored MSU's only run of the game after notching a lead-off double. Sophomore Cassee Layne was in the circle for the majority of the game after relieving junior Shelby Wise in the third inning. Layne struck out one batter and only allowed one hit to the Fighting Irish, keeping Notre Dame scoreless for 3.2 innings.
Spartan Scouting Report...
Carly Nielsen tops the team in earned run average and innings pitched with a 5.72 ERA and 111.1 innings in the circle. Sophomore Cassee Layne owns the most strikeouts on the MSU pitching staff with 64 Ks. Layne has a 6.89 ERA in 108.2 innings pitched.
Michigan State is currently 11-34 on the season and 0-15 in the Big Ten.
Scouting the Cornhuskers...
Ashley Hagemann leads Nebraska in the circle with a 2.58 ERA. Hagemann is 21-14 on the season and has struck out 282 batters in 228.1 innings of work.
Big Ten Rankings...
As of Thursday (April 26), there are several Spartans ranking in the top of the Big Ten individual standings. Leading the league in games finished (13), games in relief (18) and saves (3) is Carly Nielsen. The freshman is also fifth in appearances (35) while senior Rebecca Rogers is second in games finished (12) and fourth for games in relief (14). Junior Shelby Wise is the third pitcher for MSU to rank in the top three as she sits in second place in the Big Ten for games in relief with 17. With 11 double plays, freshman McKinzie Freimuth is tied for fourth in that category. The first baseman is also sixth in the conference in putouts with a team-high 276.
Offensively, junior Kylene Hopkins boasts the third-best batting average in the league with .403 and is tied for sixth in hits (52) and doubles (12). Senior Ali Grant has tabbed three sacrifice flies this year, which ties her for third in the Big Ten.

I personally am finding a hard time believing that the team actually cares. There have been many things that made me consider this. I am not wanting to get into details right now but I am sure many of you can think of something the team has done that is not fan friendly.
I want to know what everyone thinks before I make up my mind.
Let me know if you believe the team actually cares and why or why not?
Posted 10/11/2013 2:18 PM
Cares? Like... cares about winning games? Why wouldn't they care?
Posted 10/11/2013 3:40 PM
I meant cares about the community or about the fans more than whether they care about winning
Posted 10/11/2013 6:00 PM
Ohh. I see. I believe that Meyers Leonard cares about the fans. After fan fest, he's the only player who signed for the kids out back by the parking area. Everyone else just drove through.

I certainly believe the players generally care a lot more about the community than the ownership group or management does.
Maybe I am still disenfranchised with the constant rising ticket prices, the team selling out the community for naming rights and the numerous other small things the team has done over the last few years, which has left me feeling under appreciated.
No more lottery tickets, no more thunder sticks, 35 dollar t-shirts, no more Rose Garden and no playoffs the last few years. Winning makes it easy to deal with all the crap the team does to bleed money from its fans.

Portland Trailblazers are the 1st professional sports team of the 4 major sports to endorse same-sex marraige.
And does making a statement in the form of a question really mean that one cares to hear what other people think?
This reminds me of Office Space. Someone isn't recieving a paycheck and can't figure out why they were moved to storage room B.
Posted 10/13/2013 6:23 PM
Well, after checking out the homepage of the horribly redesigned Blazers official page and not finding a link to here on it makes me really wonder. Alot of us have been part of the community over here since the start and are we just going to be cast aside now? So all of our profiles and fan points are going to be tossed away and everything we have shared over the years? That is the feeling I am getting.
Anyhow, for years I have been sending in suggestions to help make this site better and never got a response. Also let's look at the contests "for the fans." Every year I competed in the "Staring Five" contest as many did on this site as a form of friendly competition and to try and win prizes. After all, the mission statement on that page has always read: "And more points earn you more stuff!" Well, that is kind of crap too...last year the contest was in place but it wasn't until after the season started and people had to write in to find out no prizes for the monthly winners or grand prize winner would be awarded. Ok then, so now what do my "fan points" earn me??? NOTHING!!! Oh, and guess what...yep...I would have won the grand prize on the contest last year and a couple monthly ones. Cannot believe they were that cheap to not keep contests going...FOR THE FANS!!!
I don't know if this is the answer you were looking for cmeese47 but I have been seeing things go downhill for a while on the fan site and instead of improving things it feels if we are just being cast aside and furthermore without any warning or notifications. If I am wrong, then someone please inform me. Oh...and for what it is worth...I have stuck by this organization since 70-71 and you would be amazed as a fan how much time and money I have put into the Blazers. It is mind boggling to say the least!!!
peace out,
Posted 10/13/2013 6:44 PM
Daddy I was not looking for anything specific but I appreciate your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you like me have felt let down by the site and the Blazers organization.
On the gay marriage side I think it was nice to see the team openly support gay marriage because of its importance in the community and to preaching acceptance in general.

Who cares if they care, i want to watch good basketball and go deep into the play offs, what they do in their free time is their business, they can be the worst people on the planet as long as we get some wins. Win at all cost should be the mentality around this team.
Posted 10/14/2013 11:38 AM
Kenny C, meet Cmeese47.
Posted 10/14/2013 1:40 PM
I like winning at all costs from the players but the team should give a damn about the fans. They pay the bills and the Blazers fans continue to show despite them playing terrible last few years and not really giving back.
Ride the max get a cheap beer or a cheap soda or whatever.
Dress up in red and black and save a buck.
There are a million small ways they can say thank you and no 30 dollar t-shirts in the fan store is not one of them.

LuLu*s Exclusive! Go ahead and put your chips on the table, because the Lace Your Bets Ivory Lace Midi Dress is a sure thing! Sheer ivory lace at cute cap sleeves continues to a large open back cutout that really pumps up the sex appeal. V-bar at the sultry plunging neckline and a midi-length hem finish off a bodycon fit that will have you feeling like one lucky lady. Lined. Model is wearing a size small. 55% Polyester, 40% Nylon, 5% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Made with Love in the U.S.A.
How it fit:
"This dress is beautifull!! the back is super sexy, Im 5'3 and weight 115 lbs and it was a bit longer than I would like it to be, it was below my knee. The front was also a little more revealing nthan Im used to , but the fit and fabric are so spectacular that Im keeping it, will take it to my seamstress so she can make it righ above the knee. GREAT BUY!"
How it fit:
"Very form fitting, true to size. The length makes it extremely appropriate. I love the open back, however, finding a bra was the tricky part. I needed a slip, it was just a tad see through. I like the boning up top. I have a small chest so it helped for me. I loved the material, the lace is really stretchy, so its not too clingy. I'm 5'5 and 135lbs, small chest but full around my hips and butt. Absolutely love this dress!"
How it fit:
"This is one of my favorite dresses that I have ever bought anywhere! It looks amazing on and is not see through! The bust fits a little funny with the boning, but a sticky bra fixed that. It is long- I'm 5'2" and the small hit at the top of my knee. However, I needed it for my rehearsal dinner and that length was perfect. For size comparison, I am thin/petite but curvy, 116 lbs. Every time I try this dress on, I get oohs and aahs!"
How it fit:
"I fell in love with this dress on the website but in person it is ill-fitting and practically see through. The build in wires around the boobs was uncomfortable and awkward looking and the dress hit at an odd length."
How it fit:
"The photos of this dress are stunning and looked like EXACTLY what I had been looking for, but the material felt cheap, the dress had zero structure and offered no support in the bust area (and no option to wear a bra with the plunging neckline and cut-out back."

I'm fangirling over here. I seriously found a book to put in my top five, all-time favorites. I read my first Gaskell book this year, Wives and Daughters, and raved about it. But, this one is even better.
Gaskell's style is a cross between Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. This book has the long sentence structure and meandering style of Dickens with his focus on the poor and working classes, combined with an Austen-style love story.
Gaskell's book holds a serious discussion of labor unions and factory owners, with a plea to understand the opposing viewpoints. In the story Margaret Hale and her family move to the North of England and encounter cross-cultural situations. The industrialization of the North and personality of the people contrast the agricultural, genteel South.
Then throw in a good dose of a Mr. Darcy-type main character and you've got the makings of a great book. If it is hard to get into, give the book seventy pages at least.
Gaskell constructs an extremely detailed picture of life in the fictional town of Milton, an industrial city in the north, and how a southern girl (and daughter of a non-conformist) deals with the upheavals of the industrial revolution while falling in love with a northern nouveau-riche mill owner. Unlike [b:Mary Barton|54620|Mary Barton|Elizabeth Gaskell|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1298427440s/54620.jpg|2887963], Gaskell paints a balanced picture of employer-employee relations by focusing more on the thinking and perspective of the owners.
If you have read [b:Shirley|31168|Shirley|Charlotte Brontë|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1299948983s/31168.jpg|2685457] by Charlotte Brontë, then this book is of a very similar manner.
By all accounts Elizabeth Gaskell's "North and South" should have been right up my alley. I adore Victorian-era fiction, especially if it features young heroines wrestling with dire circumstances and tangled love stories. This book has all of that, but frankly, I found it rather dull.
Gaskell's heroine, Margaret Hale, goes from London society to an industrial town named Milton as her father leaves the priesthood and takes up teaching instead. The book focuses a lot on the industrial revolution-- the needs of the working class versus the needs of the factory owners as a company goes on strike.
I found saintly Margaret somewhat annoying -- her reactions to events often range too odd and contrived for me and the love story really never came together for me. Overall, I found this novel pretty disappointing.
I first fell in love with North and South by watching the mini-series. The detail in the culture, social issues, and class differences fascinated me while the romance blossomed. I love that the female interest was willing to stand up for what she believed in but also change . A great read for Jane Austen lovers as well.
I've been having conversations with my sister over the various articles being written on McDonald's unethical procedures of late. It's not the first time the topic has come up, but it is the first time since she was hired at said company's behest to earn her pocket money. I'll talk about employees cleaning their uniforms off the clock, she'll point out the ease of our home bound washing machine, I'll comment on the level of her paycheck, she'll speak of the guarantee of college, I'll bring up nightmares of corporation instigated welfare, she'll counter with the fact that the staff is 'nice'. A few bouts of this narrows it down to some variation of the phrase of "Yeah, it's bad, but it's not affecting me." And such.
North and South touches upon this issue to a wonderful extent, workers and Unions and heads of manufacturing galore with a particular discussion between Margaret and Mr. Thornton
What ties the aforementioned blocks together is main character Margaret Hale, and I am pleased to say that I was pleased with her. Barring all the enraptured talk about her eyes and hair and stoicism, this book is known as a romance, and when I read romances, what I'm interested in is the well-handled rejection scene that both displays the gal's brains and gives the guy his comeuppance if he's being a moaning twit about her lack of acceptance. Beyond that, her character was superbly crafted enough for me to forgive the cut-outish aspects of the others. I was particularly impressed with her
Now, the issues. The plot was going along well enough up until the worker's strike, but every subsequent dramatic event
However. The plot I can forgive. The hate for the Irish I can't, what with the insinuations of "bloodline corruption" and weak-willed nonsense and lines such as"If the world stood still, it would retrograde and become corrupt, if that is not Irish.That's Margaret talking, and it's Margaret and her beloved father putting forth all of the previous without a hint of authorial condemnation that accompanies their servant's distrust of poor folk and other flavors of small character bigotry. Regarding the book, I truly "really liked it" as displayed in the hovering block, but lines such as the one above have ruined books for me, especially when so obviously of the author's own personal prejudice.
On the one hand, real women and workers combining efforts with the company owners and all that jazz. On the other, discombobulation and bigotry. I'll let you be the judge.

"How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?"
When her father leaves the Church in a crisis of conscience, Margaret Hale is uprooted from her comfortable home in Hampshire to move with her family to the north of England. Initially repulsed by the ugliness of her new surroundings in the industrial town of Milton, Margaret becomes aware of the poverty and suffering of the local mill workers and develops a passionate sense of social justice. This is intensified by her tempestuous relationship with the mill-owner and self-made man, John Thornton, as their fierce opposition over his treatment of his employees masks a deeper attraction. In North and South, Elizabeth Gaskell skillfully fused individual feeling with social concern, and in Margaret Hale created one of the most original heroines of Victorian literature.
In her introduction Patricia Ingham examines geographical, economic and class differences, and male and female roles in North and South. This edition also includes a list for further reading, notes and a glossary.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:31:39 -0400)
From her home ground, her father's comfortably middle-class living in Hampshire and her aunt's establishment in Harley Street, Margaret is exiled to the ugly northern industrial town of Milton. Surprisingly, her social consciousness awakens. It is intensified by a relationship with the local mill-owner, Thornton, that combines passionate attraction with fierce opposition. The novel explores the exploitation of the working class, linking the plight of workers with that of women and probing the myth and reality of the 'north-south divide'.… (more)
