Grainger reports record sales
We are encouraged by Grainger's successful market share strategy and retain our 'outperform' recommendation.
By: Zacks Equity Research
W.W. Grainger Inc. (GWW) reported Wednesday earnings of $2.13 per share for the fourth quarter 2011, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. The result was 19% above the year-ago earnings of $1.79. The improvement stemmed largely from strong sales across all segments.
Quarterly EPS excluded a 16 cent per share charge related to U.S. branch closures and a gain on the sale of Grainger's 49% ownership in MRO Korea. Including these items, EPS in the quarter was $2.04. The prior-year EPS excluded a gain of 4 cents per share pertaining to a change in paid time off policy. Including this, EPS was $1.83 in the year-earlier period.
Operational update
Revenues in the quarter were $2.08 billion, up 13.7% from $1.82 billion in the year-ago period. Revenue also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.07 billion. On a daily basis, sales improved 16% in October, 15% in November and 11% in December.
The improvement in revenue was attributable to volume growth and favorable pricing coupled with favorable foreign exchange rates and acquisitions, partly offset by the negative impacts from the oil spill clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
Operating earnings in the quarter improved 5% to $221.5 million, primarily driven by higher sales volume and gross profit margins, partially offset by steeper operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was triggered by volume-related costs, expenses related to the acquired Fabory business and increased spending towards the company's growth programs, including new Territory Sales Representatives, eCommerce, advertising and for a new distribution center in northern California.
Segment performance
Revenues from the United States segment increased 8% year-over-year to $1.62 billion, driven by favorable volume and price growth, partially offset by the negative impacts from the oil spill in the Gulf. On a daily basis, sales increased 9% in October and November and 5% in December.
Operating income for the segment rose 5% to $236.4 million, mainly due to higher sales and improved gross profit margins from the region.
Revenues from the Acklands-Grainger business in Canada climbed 13% to $245 million, thanks to the improvements in heavy manufacturing, construction, agriculture and mining customer end markets. On a daily basis, segment sales increased 16% in October, 15% in November and 11% in December.
Operating income in Canada expanded a whopping 121% to $29.4 million as a result of strong sales and improvement in gross margins and operating expenses.
Revenues from Other businesses (which include Europe, Japan, Mexico, India, Colombia, Puerto Rico, China and Panama) catapulted 95% year over year to $226.9 million, driven by strong growth in Japan and Mexico.
Operating earnings remained flat at $5.4 million as strong earnings growth in Japan and Mexico was offset by lower operating losses in China, India and the startup at Dominican Republic. On top of this, the Fabory business reported a loss due to the challenging economic conditions in Europe.
Fiscal 2011 performance
Grainger reported adjusted EPS of $9.04 compared with $6.80 in the prior fiscal. Results were ahead of the company's guided range of $8.85 and $9.00, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.02. Including one-time items, EPS was $9.07 compared with $6.93 in the prior year.
Grainger reported record revenues of $8.08 billion, a 12.5% increase over $7.18 billion in the prior year and at par with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.08 billion. The sales growth recorded during the year surpassed the company's estimate of 11% to 12%.
Financial position
Grainger had cash and cash equivalents of $335.5 million and long-term debt of $175 million, as of fiscal 2011 end. That compares favorably with a cash balance of $313.5 million and long-term debt of $420.4 million as of 2011 end.
The company generated net cash from operating activities of $724 million during the year, up from $596 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures increased to $197 million from $128 million in the prior year, mainly due to the expansion of the distribution center network in the United States.
Grainger repurchased 1 million shares through the year and has approximately 7.1 million shares remaining under its current repurchase authorization. The company paid dividends worth $181 million round the year.
For 2012, the company maintained its previous forecast of sales growth in the range of 10% to 14%, and earnings per share between $9.90 and $10.65. Organic sales growth for 2012 is forecast at 6% to 10%.
Our take
We retain our Outperform recommendation on W.W. Grainger, encouraged by its successful market share strategy that includes increased product offerings, expansion of private label products, sales force investment and focus on e-commerce.
In addition, a sound balance sheet coupled with healthy cash flow enables Grainger to further invest in growth opportunities, increase dividends and reinvest capital through share repurchases. The quantitative Zacks #1 Rank (short-term Strong Buy rating) for the company indicates upward directional pressure on the shares over the near term.
Illinois-based Grainger is a leading North American distributor of material handling equipment including safety and security supplies, lighting and electrical products, power and hand tools, pumps and plumbing supplies, etc. The company's services comprise inventory management and energy efficiency solutions. The company competes with Applied Industrial Technologies Inc. (AIT) and WESCO International Inc. (WCC).

Adam Cooley, left, and Sean EmmerPhoto by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Chattanooga attorneys have asked a local judge to issue a restraining order to block the city from having to rehire two fired police officers.
Administrative law judge Kim Summers, of Nashville, found in September that former Chattanooga police Officers Sean Emmer and Adam Cooley acted in accordance with their training when they beat federal inmate Adam Tatum more than 44 times with a metal baton, breaking both his legs, during a confrontation at the Salvation Army on McCallie Avenue. She ordered the officers to be reinstated, a decision denounced by Mayor Andy Berke and the City Council. Public outcry after Summers issued her order was swift.
City Attorney Wade Hinton said the administration decided to file its request for a stay of Summers' order until its appeal has been filed. City officials chose to pursue an appeal through local courts because they felt Summers didn't take into consideration dozens of exhibits, witnesses' testimony and other facts in the case.
The city could have appealed Summers' decision through the Administrative Procedures Division in Nashville.
"We felt and took comfort that the entire record could be reviewed by a local judge," Hinton said Thursday.
The request, filed in Hamilton County Circuit Court, asks the judge to review all the proof and to find that Summer's decision:
• Was in violation of the City Charter, codes and statues cited in the petition.
• Was prejudicial to the rights of the officers.
• Undermined the police chief's enforcement of disciplinary actions.
Emmer's attorney Bryan Hoss said all the facts have already been presented and the city was found to be in the wrong.
"This case was fully tried in front of an administrative law judge," he said. "There were dozens and dozens of exhibits and [the city] had as much time as they wanted." If a Circuit Court judge doesn't grant the stay, Hoss said the officers will have to go back to work. However, Wade said the city has several options should that happen. He declined to say what the options are. The officers were fired last November after a disciplinary hearing. Emmer and Cooley responded to a disorder call at the Salvation Army on June 14, 2012. In trying to subdue Tate, the officers beat him, shocked him with a Taser, sprayed him with Mace and punched him in the face a number of times before handcuffing him.

This is the Gerber Mark 1, a smaller version of the Mark 2 combat knife. It's not really good for field dressing, it was designed to stab in and right back out, a design that's a thousand years or so old, and it's not been bested for that particular design use. But for day to day use, pretty much limited to "See I have a knife ! " displays, mall Ninjas or spearing a tasty tenderloin and bringing it up out of the pan.

El Paso, Texas (KDBC) — Recent storms are helping the borderland pull out of its lingering drought. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, conditions in West Texas have improved enough that drought status has been changed to "likely removal."
However, that's not the case across the rest of the state. 99 percent of Texas is still in a drought. That's up from 95 percent a year ago.
State reservoirs are also only 64 percent full, the lowest level for this time of year since 1990. and lake levels are 10 percent lower than a year ago.

Once again, it's time for my monthly personal tarot reading. Since I am getting married at the beginning of November, I am sure to have an interesting October. Let's see what the Tarot told me.
I used my Wildwood deck, but I'll illustrate with Thoth. This time, I did the usual spread of Card 1 for how the entire month will go, and Cards 2-5 for how each week will go, but I also added a Card 6, for the lesson I need to learn this month.
Month: 13 The Journey (Death)
Wildwood calls Death a Journey, and I'd have to agree. This month is sure to be a journey; a time of stepping away from one life in preparation for beginning anew. I find it very fitting that the month before my wedding will be a time of preparation. I am also very thankful to have this opportunity.
Week 1: Nine of Bows - Respect (9/W)
Wildwood says Respect, and Thoth says Strength. When I look at Wildwood's card, I understand that this week will be a time for me to not only gather my strength, but to come to understand it, and learn to respect the life I have. It is a time for me to come to terms with the life I've been given and the life I've chosen. I absolutely love this.
Week 2: Seven of Arrows - Insecurity (7/S)
And yet, even after I've learned to respect that life, I will need another week to allow myself to let go of insecurities. To shed unnecessary doubts and finally push off the insecurities that sometimes assault me. This life is mine, this life CAN be mine, and it WILL be good. I swear, the tarot is so damn spot-on that it makes me cry sometimes.
Week 3: Seven of Vessels - Mourning (7/C)
Geez, this is looking like a difficult month, eh? But it's so freaking fitting. Week three will give me time to let go of the past with finality. I can address past grievances that might try to cloud my mind, and I can toss them aside, so that in the end I can look ahead with a clear vision.
Week 4: 6 The Forest Lovers (The Lovers)
And yes. Really? The final week in my October-long Journey will be a time to come fully together with my Darling and let our love grow to another level. Remember how I said the Tarot sometimes make me cry? …
Lesson: King of Vessels - Heron (K/C)
Wildwood tells me: "A deep belief in fairness, honesty and honour colours everything you do. The profound depths of your character, once stirred into action, carry all before it. However, your admiration of self-control can sometimes make you appear too rigid." I won't elaborate, but this made me cry, too. :)

By 12:45 p.m. on Friday, April 6th, the line for Moi dix Mois's Q&A session had grown long enough that fans toward the back were being told they might not make it in. Convention staff darted around making sure everything was in order and at 1 p.m. the line shuffled in and filled the room. At 1:30, Moi dix Mois was introduced to the delight of the gathered crowd, and the session began abruptly after the band entered from the back of the room.
We would like to note that the following questions were asked by various attendees and members of the press. Many of the answers were given directly from the members in English. Photography/audio/video were not permitted, therefore, this is not an absolute transcription but was notated and compiled to the best of our abilities.

Awwww, and to think I was so close yet so far away. Would've been cool to see! Love it though a Malice Mizer reunion would be great!
I know that Mana never speaks, but…it still amuses me to read everything "Mana via K/Interpreter" XD Seems like it was a really interesting/fun Q&A!
Reirei Regret
Beer, Pepsi, Red Bull xD it's the top 3 drinks of jrockers i think ( next to CC Lemon of some… ).
So funny to read all the 'via' things from Mana 8D
anyway, didn't know if it was only a joke or if seth really IS listening to the beatles.
if it was a joke, it was a bad one. ;3; the beatles were impressive for the time they were active.
i still love listening to them, not only because they wrote big history in music.
It didn't seem like a joke to me. I think that, considering the music that Seth has written himself, it is not too much of a surprise that he would listen to Beatles-type music. Art Cube doesn't sound like The Beatles, but Art Cube doesn't sound like much of anything… It is so varied that I am sure he has many diverse influences.
Short, sweet, and to the point.
Thank you for the transcription of the Q&A session!
I love that beer is a beauty tip… seriously, i'm far from beautiful and i've kept that tip at a daily base!!
"Do you have any beauty tips?"
Sugiya: Alcohol.
I'll try that next time I need to look extra beautiful! <3
I'm sad I missed the Q&A. It sounds like it was a lot fun! The concert was amazing though!
It is really awesome to able to read the discussion on your side!! Even it's a bit sad to have missed such a chance, I wish I attended a panel discussion with Moi dix Mois…
The answers are quite funny, Moi dix Mois seemed to be in a great mood!
Shannon M.
A Mana, Kozi, and Yu~ki reunion? That's so awesome. D: I wonder what they'll play…
Also lol "Beatles…BEATLES!"
I love how Sugiya described K as "Yuck" XD
Ooh, I wish I could have gone. All the good stuff happens far away from me :/
I really miss them!
I wish that they come back to Germany soon. >.<
"Do you have any beauty tips?"
Sugiya: Alcohol.
.. I guess that after few beers, every gothic lolita looks beautiful in his eyes <'3
Thank you so much for posting this lovely Q&A session! I wanted so badly to go to Sakura-con but unfortunately I was unable to attend. Through this article, you made it possible for me to feel like I was actually there among the fans with my favorite band, Moi dix Mois. Some of the answers were so hilarious! I enjoyed reading them very much. Loved the article and the picture. Again, thank you so much!
Wow, I'm surprised Sakura con was able to get them there! I was so surprised to hear they were going. This sounds like so much fun! Panels sound just like large versions of instore events in Japan….except with a ton more people XD Will anyone be doing something for A-kon when OZ and Ayabie perform?
It's interesting, the musicians that play with Mana usually don't have a simmilar tastethat.
But they're still able to play with maestry of feelings…
XDD but that was funny…
"Describe the band mate next to you in one word.
Sugiya: (to K) Yuck.
K: (to Mana) My boss.
Mana: (to Seth, via Interpreter) Eye patch.
Seth: (to Hayato) Tomboy.
Hayato: (to Sugiya) Drunk."
my reaction: laughed all the way…
— well, i expected some of their answers XD
but i didn't expect that they are this naughty, even in a Q&A session
I hope they'll come to Germany again, soon…
Last time I missed the chance to see them… (>_<)
Oh Seth you want to cosplay Ryuk from Death Note… Ok go ahead… I'd love to see that! o(^_^)o
The word 'tomboy' are for grlz,isn't it?
Yeah, as I know,tomboy is for girls….so I guess that was a part of his joke x)
Seth's answer was rather strange, I thought he was the vocalist for ART CUBE as well?
Hahahaha… what they said to describe the person next to them. Hayato to Sugiya: Drunk xD Made me laugh!
Hayato would be a chef? Like cooking? He may cook something for me… I'm hungry (it is dinnertime right now) xD
I like these Q&A. So you can get the chance to get to know your favorite band. ^_^
Yozora Misa
I love it how Sugiya just says 15 minutes right after everyone says it takes them 1 to 2 hours to put on their make up.
Seth is also the vocalist of Art Cube. The reason why he replied this is because Seth (Moi Dix Mois) and Z (Art Cube) are supposed to be 2 different personalities so he didn`t want to ruin that image.
Thanks so much for the picture and interview post! I actually wouldn't have guessed that "The Seventh Veil" was Mana's favorite song to have composed, so that was a cool thing to learn. And Hayato saying he would be a chef if not a musician makes the "Catch the Noodle" game from Daydream of Dixanadu really make sense now! XD
*cracking up* I was there and I remember all of this. Good times >w< <3 Thank you for the post! Not to be rude I do have one correction: I think it was K that said he'd cosplay as Ryuk. Other than that I believe the rest of it was spot on! :3
Oh God they're such a matter-of-fact band
This is so funny!! Thank you so much for sharing. <3
I LOVE that Mana said he was inspired by Yngwie Malmsteen! He has long been one of my favourite symphonic metal guitarists. The guy is practically a god. To learn more about Yngwie Malmsteen click my name! You guys need to hear his music. I love both bands of course. Mana ROX!
Very interesting interview, thank you this!
It's really interesting to me that many of the members didn't use an English translator! Also that Mana wanted to eat seaweed in America? It's not any different here, haha xD
Haha love the Slipknot/ SLAYER comment XD
That's one of my fave parts, too!! :3
lol I wasn't expecting Mana of all people to note Slayer, either. I started laughing my arse off reading that part xD I wouldn't doubt he was joking, though, just to see how people would react. xD
LOL they are amazing. one of the best bands ever. Interesting combo of Pepsi ,Redbull and Beer
This was the best part of the Q&A: Describe the band mate next to you in one word.
Sugiya: (to K) Yuck.
K: (to Mana) My boss.
Mana: (to Seth, via Interpreter) Eye patch.
Seth: (to Hayato) Tomboy.
Hayato: (to Sugiya) Drunk.
Hahaha Sugiya's answer made my day!I wish MDM would come back to Europe, I really want to see them live 'cause they're so amazing, if not, I'll go to Japan and see them!!!!
Mana was an hour away from me & I had no clue. Why gawd, why?! ;_;

ASSE Asks Members to Urge Employers and Other Organizations to Join 85-3 Campaign
ASSE is asking its members to reach out to employers and other organizations to join the Society as members of the 85-3 Campaign. As the invitation from the campaign indicates, the 85-3 Campaign recognizes organizations and employers that, as part of their hearing protection strategy for workers, have adopted the 85 dBA noise protection level.
It's easy to join by simply contacting the campaign directly at email@example.com. And, if you can, please let Dave Heidorn know of your effort at email@example.com.
On joining the campaign this year, ASSE President Richard A. Pollock, CSP, said in a statement, "On behalf of its nearly 35,000 member safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals, ASSE is pleased to join the 85-3 Coalition and looks forward to working with the coalition's members to support the adoption of the 85-dBA average exposure limit for an 8-hour day measured with a 3-dB exchange rate. The appropriateness of the 85-3 level is widely accepted in practice by our members and many of the employers with whom they work throughout the world."
Early in the year, ASSE urged the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to focus its efforts to improve hearing protection on lowering OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) for noise from the current 90 dBA (decibel) to 85 dBA. 85-3 is also required in the ANSI/ASSE A10.46 Standard "Hearing Loss Prevention for Construction and Demolition Workers" , and NIOSH has known the gains in hearing protection 85-3 can achieve for decades.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin higher education officials cried foul Tuesday morning, after the release of a report which showed that teacher training at many state schools is not up to snuff.
The National Council on Teacher Quality used a four-star rating system to evaluate teacher prep programs at over 1,100 U.S. colleges and universities.
UW-Stout had the best showing, with three stars. 21 programs had two-and-a-half stars or less.
UW-Milwaukee and Stevens Point received "consumer alerts" for an apparent lack of quality in their teacher training. UWM vice president Tom Luljak took serious exception to the survey. He said Milwaukee's teacher prep programs meet or exceed standards put out by the state Department of Public Instruction. He said Milwaukee's rating, "doesn't provide context of programs as they exist today."
Jeanne Williams of Ripon College, who heads the Wisconsin Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, said the Council had, "no standing" to be evaluating teacher programs.
University officials around the state had previously criticized the criteria that the National Council on Teacher Quality used to come up with a four-star rating system.
In fact, the Council had to file suit against the UW to get information on course details – and they reached a settlement which gave them the data under some conditions.

Before leaving Chandrapur, along with local activists and volunteers, Brikesh led a cycle rally to the Durgapur coal mine bordering the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve. The proposed coal mine expansion here is a threat to many hectares of forest which is also a critical tiger habitat. The activists demarcated forests that should not be destroyed for coal using a 135 foot fabric, to show support for this natural space.

I'm currently building a new Garage/Workshop. My first purchase was this Gantry Crane, 1 Ton Chain Hoist and 1 Ton Trolley. One of the best investments I've made for the new building. I've used it so far to lift the 12ft wall frames and place in position, Hoist and move a 80 gallon vertical air compressor (600 lbs) around while building, and lifted a 4 post car lift (1725 lbs) off the trailer and move it around also while building is under construction. Plenty of height to lift most anything (upper rail is 12'+) It would be nice if HFT offered this in a 2 ton version, for those who work on heavy machinery. Assembly is easy,really needs two people to assemble, one can do it, but standing it upright is better with two. (it is heavy). the only drawbacks I have seen is extending it can be done by one person, but is easier with two. (winches on each leg), and while a pickup truck can fit through it, a car trailer is alittle to wide. (my trailer tires would not fit through it, the bed did). this is a very good investment if you have the room and height to utilize it.
Most Liked Negative Review
height is great. Wish It was about 1-2 foot wider. Cant fit a standard size Dually Pick up truck underneath. other than that, it seems to be good enough.

Works better than expected

Comments about Pittsburgh Automotive 1 ton Telescoping Gantry Crane:
I have an oil pit in my shop. Before when I pulled engines, I had to do the work underneath, then push the car ahead to use an engine crane. Now I can pull the engine with the car stationary. I purchased a chain winch which I can operate while in the pit/lining up bell housing bolts from underneath. Great buy, wish I purchased one years ago.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

All the riders mentioned have odd race numbers, 1, 11, 35 & 69, perhaps that caused them to crash? Whereas Valentino Rossi, 46, merely had a bit of a wobble. So, in light of any other rational explanation I offer that their choice of race number caused them to crash.

Obviously you are passionate about Ducati and you want to put all the blame on Rossi instead of Ducati. So with this in mind I hope you are going to slag off Dovi when he has a disaster next year.
Your little dig looks strangely out of place in amongst the 3 pronged assault on your buffoonery. In your own words. By you.
Bulto if you read my post again I mentioned about the surface and I agree it was bad but every rider had to deal with it and some dealt better than others.Simple as that.
That is the singularly most over used inaccurate heap of horseshit phrase to ever be uttered by a race commentator - and since picked up by anyone who cares to believe it.
Luck is to receive good fortune or benefit from circumstances that are a result of chance
Not shaped by the actions of a person with the express intention of creating those circumstances.
You don't create your own luck.
Plenty on here so I am trying my best to join in with them.Anyone that gets upset by exclamation marks could well be a big buffoon!!!
Bulto if you read my post again I mentioned about the surface and I agree it was bad but every rider had to deal with it and some dealt better than others.
Or maybe they were using different lines and were caught by the inconsistency of the surface, or maybe they were pushing harder than the others (no, hang on, Vale had a moment too, so can't be that...)
Although I'd counter that anyone who honestly thinks that a plethora of 500cc style viciously flicked highsides couldn't be influenced by tyres and/or tarmac actually is a buffoon. Especially as said highsides have 3 MotoGP titles,1 WSB title and 1 WSS title between them so evidently aren't prone to suddenly forgetting what "feel" is.

Do you want Facebook to know where you are?
Posted: 08/20/10 06:00 AM
Facebook already wanted to know what you were doing, now they want to know where you're doing it Facebook Places is a new service that lets you report where you are as you go through your day. It's the company's long anticipate foray into geolocation, a sort of melding of cyberspace and "meatspace" that a lot of people think will become very popular.
But it's probably a good idea to know exactly what you're sharing and what you're keeping private, especially since that's a line that has been a bit shaky on Facebook in the past.
We talk to CNET's Molly Wood about how Places work so you can get a better handle on how to use it. We also talk to video editor Bill Cammack who posted on his web site instructions on opting out of the "location tagging" section of Places. He walks us through that.

today's show
What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

I made meatloaf last night. Yum! And it's a form of meat that Edie will ask for more of. I pointed out to her that if I had made hamburgers out of the same ground beef, I'd be lucky if she ate half of one.
I added a bit of chopped green chile to the meat, shaved strips of a carrot, and some smoke flavoring and Worcestershire sauce. On top I had a glaze similar to a bbq sauce.
Any meatloaf tricks from your recipe?

Why I Don't Let My Son Use Social Media
Pregnancy: To Drink or Not To Drink?
Parenting the Defiant Child
Why I Love My Son's 'Big Brother'
There are a lot of single parents in the world, but I belong to a little section of single parenting called "choice moms." I'm a single parent by choice -- not because I don't understand the importance of a father, but because I decided that while I would be OK if marriage never happened, I wouldn't be OK if I was never a mom.
Reflections on Two Moms
Was it sunny that morning when my son's teenage birth mom went to the hospital? Was she alone? Though our lives are connected by mishap, trial and happenstance, she and I are two sides of the same coin. And one day, my son and I will be looking forward to finding her again.
Why It Kicks Ass to Be a Single Adoptive Mom
Welcome to the single adoptive moms club, Sandra Bullock ... we're happy to have you. Many people end up being a single parent through circumstance -- divorce, the death of one parent, abandonment, etc. Me? I chose it.
My Son By Any Other Name
The day I first met my son, we sat together with his social worker and foster parents out on the back deck of his foster parents' home. My son asked me if I was going to change his name after I adopted him. That simple question broke my heart. Here he was, 10 years old, and even something as basic as his name wasn't stable. But eventually we chose a new name -- a name that symbolized him choosing who he wanted to be.
Seeing Beyond Invisible Disabilities
Before I adopted my son, he endured abuse and mistreatment that would bring an adult to his knees. As a result, he sometimes has tantrums, rages and a hyper, scared (and somewhat strange) reaction when he's overstimulated. I can handle that. But why do I get so angry when he doesn't do the small stuff?

Few women getting tested for chlamydia: CDC
Adult film actress Piper Auston (real name Holly Hays) pays for her monthly tests at the Adult Industry Medical (AIM) Health Care Foundation clinic, 19 August 2004, in Sherman Oaks, California. Adult entertainment actors and actresses come to the clinic every month to test for HIV, gonorrhea and chlamydia. (Robyn Beck, AFP/Getty Images / March 14, 2012)
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Only 38 percent of the 16 million American women aged 15 to 25 who are sexually active were screened for chlamydia in the prior year, putting them at risk for chronic pain, life-threatening pregnancies and infertility, U.S. health experts said on Tuesday.
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted disease in the United States, with 1.3 million new cases reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2010.
But because the infection often has no symptoms, the actual rate of new infections may be more than twice that, or nearly 2.8 million new infections each year, Dr. Gail Bolan, the CDC's director of STD Prevention, told reporters in a conference call from the National STD Prevention Conference in Minneapolis.
If caught early, chlamydia is easily cured with antibiotics. That's why the CDC recommends annual screening for all sexually active women and retesting three months after treatment for those found to be infected.
But according to studies presented at the meeting, many women are not following these recommendations.
"The new data make it clear we are missing far too many opportunities to protect young women," Bolan told the briefing.
In one study presented at the meeting, Karen Hoover of the CDC studied data from 2006 to 2008 taken from a nationally representative survey. She found that 38 percent of young women aged 15 to 25, or more than 9 million young women who were sexually active in the prior year, were screened for chlamydia as recommended.
Testing rates were higher, however, among certain groups, including among women aged 20 to 25, 42 percent of whom had been tested; black women, 55 percent of whom had been tested, and those who had multiple sexual partners, with 47 percent saying they had been tested in the prior year.
Even when women are tested, however, they often do not get retested to make sure they have not been reinfected by a sexual partner.
According to an analysis by Kelly Morrison Opdyke of Cicatelli Associates, a non-profit group that trains health and social service workers, lab data on more than 63,000 men and women in New York, New Jersey and the U.S. Virgin Islands found that just 11 percent of men and 21 percent of women were retested within six months of being treated for chlamydia.
Untreated chlamydia infections can spread into the uterus or fallopian tubes and cause pelvic inflammatory disease. Undetected infections in the upper genital tract can damage the fallopian tubes, uterus, and surrounding tissues, causing chronic pain, infertility and potentially fatal ectopic pregnancies, in which the egg implants in the fallopian tubes.
And like other sexually transmitted diseases, chlamydia may also make a woman more vulnerable to HIV infections if exposed.
"It is critical that health care providers are not only aware of the importance of testing sexually active young women every year for chlamydia infections, but also of retesting anyone who is diagnosed," Bolan said in a statement.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and others unveiled a $30 million plan that would add hundreds of school resource officers to patrol Arizona campuses. This plan is meant as a way to prevent gun attacks on Arizona school campuses.
Money would also go toward mental health screenings and guidance counseling.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says our schools are sitting ducks right now and an attack could happen any time.
Sheriff Paul Babeu, State Senator Rich Crandall and National Association of School Resource Officers President Kevin Quinn have devised a three part plan for school safety.
They call it a "reasonable plan" that would beef up school resource officers on campuses with a $30 million budget.
"We have gun free safe school zones, there was an act in 1990 and 1995, that protects our schools. There's a thousand foot perimeter that is supposed to keep a safe school zone. And in fact, what it's done is create an alluring target for criminals and mass murderers who see them as an opportunity," said Babeu.
Thirty million dollars would come from three possible sources that include:
1. Redirecting excess collected clean elections funds 2. Transferring tax on private party auto sales 3. A percentage tax on alcohol sales.
$24 million would go to school resource officers$4.5 million towards mental health awareness $1.5 million towards training for school counselors
The devised plan would enable another 300 SRO's to be placed in schools in addition to the current 300 to 400 on campuses now. These SRO's would come from local police agencies.
Babeu and Crandall say each school district can determine whether teachers can become armed SRO's too.
School resource officers would need a week's worth of training before they are put on campuses.
NASRO does not support arming teachers or staff members in schools.

Berkeley schools show gains on standard tests
The California Department of Education yesterday released its 2012 Accountability Progress Report, which show significant gains for Berkeley schools on both the state Annual Performance Index (API) and the federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). (Details of both district and individual school results for API and AYP can be seen on the state's Accountability Progress Reporting site.)
Berkeley Unified School District had an overall growth of 19 points for a district-wide API of 810. Each of Berkeley's elementary and middle schools exceeded the statewide API target of 800 or above. Berkeley High School, which went years without having enough students take the test to get an API, had a 19-point growth for a school API of 734, which was above the school's target growth for the year. Only 30% of high schools in California exceeded an API of 800.
"I think these results are evidence that Berkeley is on the right track, that we're making a difference for our kids," said Co-Superintendent Neil Smith. "I think particularly looking at achievement all across elementary reading was a real strength for the district. Where we still have a lot of work to do is the high school." … Continue reading »

An estimated 93.5 percent of motorists in the EU are driving on under-inflated tyres and causing an additional 18 million tons of carbon dioxide to be released into the environment. These 18 million tons are the equivalent of 56 million tyres being wasted. To collect this data, Bridgestone conducted free check-ups at various shopping centers and public car parks throughout Europe. Based on 2006 data, Bridgestone also estimates 40 percent of vehicles absorb an additional 2.8 percent in fuel, due to their under-inflated tyres, wasting 8.1 billion liters of fuel every year. Bridgestone, in conjunction with the FIA Foundation (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) and national motoring clubs, is part of the "Think Before You Drive" campaign, established in 2005.
For the first time in more than 20 years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is changing the way it calculates fuel economy estimates — the city and highway miles-per-gallon calculations that are posted on the window stickers of new cars and trucks.
A vehicle is tipically the largest or second-largest purchase made during a lifetime. So it's important to make informed decisions about car care, including what you buy at the pump. All gasoline brands contain the minimum level of detergents required by government standard, but that level is not enough to prevent the build-up of power-robbing carbon deposits in some engines.
The summer is close, so is your vacation. Are you ready for it? Is your car ready for the amount of driving? And most off all, do you have enough money to by gas?
Engine warm-up
1. Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.
2. Be sure the automatic choke is disengaged after engine warm up... chokes often get stuck, resulting in bad gas/air mixture.
3. Don't start and stop engine needlessly. Idling your engine for one minute consumes the gas amount equivalent to when you start the engine.
4. Avoid "reving" the engine, especially just before you switch the engine off; this wastes fuel needlessly and washes oil down from the inside cylinder walls, owing to loss of oil pressure.
5. Eliminate jack-rabbit starts. Accelerate slowly when starting from dead stop. Don't push pedal down more than 1/4 of the total foot travel. This allows carburetor to function at peak efficiency.
How to buy gas
6. Buy gasoline during coolest time of day - early morning or late evening is best. During these times gasoline is densest. Keep in mind - gas pumps measure volumes of gasoline, not densities of fuel concentration. You are charged according to "volume of measurement".
7. Choose type and brand of gasoline carefully. Certain brands provide you with greater economy because of better quality. Use the brands which "seem" most beneficial.
8. Avoid filling gas tank to top. Overfilling results in sloshing over and out of tank. Never fill gas tank past the first "click" of fuel nozzle, if nozzle is automatic.
How to drive economically
9. Exceeding 40 mph forces your auto to overcome tremendous wind resistance.
10. Never exceed legal speed limit. Primarily they are set for your traveling safety, however better gas efficiency also occurs. Traveling at 55 mph give you up to 21% better mileage when compared to former legal speed limits of 65 mph and 70 mph.
11. Traveling at fast rates in low gears can consume up to 45% more fuel than is needed.
12. Manual shift driven cars allow you to change to highest gear as soon as possible, thereby letting you save gas if you "nurse it along". However, if you cause the engine to "bog down", premature wearing of engine parts occurs.
13. Keep windows closed when traveling at highway speeds. Open windows cause air drag, reducing your mileage by 10%.
14. Drive steadily. Slowing down or speeding up wastes fuel. Also avoid tailgating - the driver in front of you is unpredictable. Not only is it unsafe, but if affects your economy, if he slows down unexpectedly.
15.Think ahead when approaching hills. If you accelerate, do it before you reach the hill, not while you're on it.
General advice
16. Do not rest left foot on floor board pedals while driving. The slightest pressure puts "mechanical drag" on components, wearing them down prematurely. This "dragging" also demands additional fuel usage.
17. Avoid rough roads whenever possible, because dirt or gravel rob you of up to 30% of your gas mileage.
18. Use alternate roads when safer, shorter, straighter. Compare traveling distance differences - remember that corners, curves and lane jumping requires extra gas. The shortest distance between two points is always straight.
19. Stoplights are usually timed for your motoring advantage. By traveling steadily at the legal speed limit you boost your chances of having the "green light" all the way.
20. Automatic transmissions should be allowed to cool down when your car is idling at a standstill, e.g. railroad crossings, long traffic lights, etc. Place gear into neutral position. This reduces transmission strain and allows transmission to cool.
21. Park car so that you can later begin to travel in forward gear; avoid reverse gear maneuvers to save gas.
22. Regular tune-ups ensure best economy; check owner's manual for recommended maintenance intervals. Special attention should be given to maintaining clean air filters... diminished air flow increases gas waste.
23. Inspect suspension and chassis parts for occasional misalignment. Bent wheels, axles, bad shocks, broken springs, etc. create engine drag and are unsafe at high traveling speeds.
24. Remove snow tires during good weather seasons; traveling on deep tire tread really robs fuel!
25. Inflate all tires to maximum limit. Each tire should be periodically spun, balanced and checked for out-of-round. When shopping for new tires, get large diameter tires for rear wheels. Radial designs are the recognized fuel-savers; check manufacturer's specifications for maximum tire pressures.
26. Remove vinyl tops - they cause air drag. Rough surfaces disturb otherwise smooth air flow around a car's body. Bear in mind when buying new cars that a fancy sun roof helps disturb smooth air flow (and mileage).
27. Auto air conditioners can reduce fuel economy by 10% to 20%. Heater fan, power windows and seats increase engine load; the more load on your engine, the less miles per gallon.
28. Remove excess weight from trunk or inside of car - extra tires, back seats, unnecessary heavy parts. Extra weight reduces mileage, especially when driving up inclines.
29. Car pools reduce travel monotony and gas expense - all riders chip in to help you buy. Conversation helps to keep the driver alert. Pooling also reduces traffic congestion, gives the driver easier maneuverability and greater "steady speed" economy. For best results, distribute passenger weight evenly throughout car.
30. During cold weather watch for icicles frozen to car frame. Up to 100 lbs. can be quickly accumulated! Unremoved snow and ice cause tremendous wind resistance. Warm water thrown on (or hosed on) will eliminate it fast.
Extra tips
Install pressure regulator valve (sold in auto parts stores)... Use graphite motor oil... Beware of oil additives, regardless of advertising claims... Add Marvel Mystery Oil into gas fill-ups... Investigate fuel/water injection methods and products... combine short errands into one trip... Use special gas additives to prevent winter freezing of gas lines... convert your V8 engine over to a V4.
Tips to improve your gas mileage
Drive Sensibly: Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.15-$0.96/gallon
Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.
As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.
Observing the speed limit is also safer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.20-$0.67/gallon
Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%/100 lbs
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.03-$0.06/gallon
Keep your car in shape
1. Keep Your Engine Properly Tuned
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 4%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.12/gallon
2. Check & Replace Air Filters Regularly
Replacing a clogged air filter can improve your car's gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. Your car's air filter keeps impurities from damaging the inside of your engine. Not only will replacing a dirty air filter save gas, it will protect your engine.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 10%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.29/gallon
3. Keep Tires Properly Inflated
You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 3%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.09/gallon
Choose a more efficient vehicle
Selecting which vehicle to purchase is the most important fuel economy decision you'll make. The difference between a car that gets 20 MPG and one that gets 30 MPG amounts to $550 per year (assuming 15,000 miles of driving annually and a fuel cost of $2.20). That's $2,200 extra in fuel costs in just four years!

Pictures and posts on your social media network can be used against you. Whether you are using Facebook, Twitter or Instagram - anything you post is potential evidence and law enforcement is taking advantage.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office and Naples Police Department have made at least four arrests this year by using social media to try and prove suspects committed a crime.
"When you post something online, you really do so at your own peril," says Collier County Judge Robert Crown.
30-year-old Brandon Perry was arrested for battery in Collier County after he allegedly bragged about beating up his neighbor on his Twitter page.
Seth Runyon also got stung by social media.
According to a Sheriff's Office report, the 22-year-old was on probation, making it illegal for him to have a firearm. Deputies arrested Runyon after he posted a picture of himself with a 9mm handgun on Facebook.
Another Facebook picture was used to arrest 27-year-old Hector Carrion for Grand Theft. Detectives he posted a picture of puppies for sale, proving he stole a pregnant pitbull and tried to sell her litter online.
In Naples, a fight video posted on YouTube sent a high school student to jail.
"If they chose to do that were going to try and exploit that as much as we can within legal means, said Sgt. Brian Sawyer with the Collier County Sheriff's Office. "We're going to use social media, we're going to use the internet, whatever we can to try and identify who the criminal is and what crimes they've committed."
If you do something illegal and decide to share it through social media, everything you post becomes public - making it fair game for law enforcement.
"Law enforcement officers under the right circumstances, if they follow the right procedures, can access that information and use it against you," said Judge Crown.
Some argue searching social media is an invasion of privacy. But unlike searching a home or password-protected e-mail account, social media is considered public so officers don't need a warrant or subpoena to search.
"If your privacy settings are set to public anyone can log on and see your information then yes, you have forfeited all rights to or expectation of privacy," said Judge Crown.
Even if your profile page is private and officers cant access your account, if a friend shares it online or decides to hand it over, the evidence can still be used against you.
As long as a prosecutor can prove the posts or pictures are authentic and came from the defendant, they are admissible in court.
There are laws in place meant to protect your privacy when it comes to e-mails and phone records, but with newer social media, legislation has not caught up with technology yet.
"If you don't want it on the 6 o'clock news don't do it," said Judge Crown. "So that's the advice, don't post it."
