Crime and Fire Report for the Current Year:
Elizabethtown College Annual Security and Fire Safety Report 2013 (Clery Report)
Past years:
The Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to disclose certain timely and annual information about campus crime and security policies. All public and private institutions of post secondary education participating in federal student aid programs are subject to it.
The Clery Act was signed into law in 1990 as the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990. Amendments to the Act in 1998 renamed it in memory of Jeanne Clery, who was murdered at Lehigh University in 1986. The law was supported by Jeanne's parents, Howard & Connie Clery, who also founded the non-profit Security On Campus, Inc. in 1987.
Annual Security Report
Each institution of higher education in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is required to annually publish specific data relating to the number per capita rate of certain types of crime reported to have occurred at the institution, and the security measures that are in place to reduce the risk of criminal victimization for members of the community. Additionally, this report addresses requirements of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Act. Elizabethtown College's Clery Committee meets periodically throughout the summer and early fall to review appropriate resources from the Clery Center, develop an outline for the report and evaluate and revise report content as needed and publish the report no later than October 1.
Daily Crime and Fire Log
Campus Security maintains a combined Daily Crime Log and Fire Log of all incidents reported to Campus Security. The logs include all crimes, fire-related incidents, and other serious incidents that occur on campus, including non-campus buildings or properties, on public property or within the college's jurisdiction of crimes reported to Elizabethtown College by area police. The daily crime and fire log includes the date and time the report was received, the date and time the incident occurred, the nature of the offense, the location of the offense and disposition if available. The log can be viewed at the Campus Security Office during regular business hours (8am-5pm Monday through Friday, except Holidays), 605 South Mount Joy Street.

This study focuses on the successful organization of the McMaster University Staff Association (MUSA), in relation to the changing labour processes of staff. Particular emphasis falls upon the norms, commitments, and allegiances generated in the everyday activities of worklife (i.e. the labour process). The first two chapters are oriented towards a more specialist sociological audience. In the first chapter I outline the theory which will inform the study, a dialectical materialist labour process analysis. In the second chapter I review the sociological literatures relevant to support staff and MUSA as well as the methodology used in carrying out the study.
In the following chapters I develop a rich descriptive account of the evolution of MUSA. In particular, I highlight that, while there were contradictions already implicit in staff labour processes before neo-liberalism, it was only when neo-liberal policies were implemented that these contradictions became problematic for staff. The key contradictions in the labour process were underpinned by class and gender inequality and centered around a tension between the more collegial forms of informal organization at McMaster and the more hierarchical formal organization of the University. As the labour process became more problematic, staff organized, voted to certify MUSA as a trade union, and went out on a five-week strike for their first contract. In both the nature of the grievances that staff highlighted, and in organization of MUS A and the strike, we can find strong influence exerted by the norms, commitments, and allegiances generated in the labour processes of staff. In tum, as staff have organized, the labour process itself has been affected. I end the thesis by considering MUSA's future and the attempts by the administration to respond to staff concerns and grievances, both of which will shape the on-going labour processes of staff.

- Blimpie, Tim Hortons extend 50th anniversary promotions
- Tim Hortons: 50 years of coffee expertise
Chains stretch golden celebrations into yearlong marketing opportunities
Three high school friends opened the first Blimpie in Hoboken, N.J., in 1964.
Blimpie and Tim Hortons are making a big deal out of turning 50 by leveraging the golden anniversary into a yearlong opportunity to reintroduce their brands while showing off new features and growth markets.
Last Friday, Blimpie commemorated its 50th birthday by offering its signature Blimpie Best sub for 50 cents to the first 200 customers at each of its nearly 600 franchised units. Founder Tony Conza, who opened the first Blimpie in Hoboken, N.J., with two high school friends in 1964, was on hand at a Blimpie location in Jersey City, N.J., to unveil a 50-foot sub made as part of a charity fundraiser during the day.
• Tim Hortons 4Q profit rises despite unit closures
• Blimpie debuts lighter menu
• More quick-service restaurant news
Conza had filmed a news segment at that Jersey City Blimpie restaurant, which is only a block away from where he attended grammar school, he said, "which was a real walk down memory lane."
"I don't often think too much about the roots of the company," Conza said, "so it's been interesting for me the past few weeks, and I'm looking forward to what we're doing all year."
Blimpie's initiatives for 2014 include the Golden Giveaway contest, in which every customer who orders a combo meal receives a scratch card to enter to win several prizes, like a vacation to Hawaii — the 50th state — or free tablet computers, free subs for a year or $50 Blimpie gift cards.
"We have high hopes for this year," added Steve Evans, vice president of marketing for Blimpie, which is owned by Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Kahala Corp. "The goal is to reintroduce the brand, get more trial and awareness, and we think it gives us a great stepping stone to build on. These types of [anniversary] things only set you up for success on later promotions."
Other major platforms for Blimpie this year include the eventual rollout of online ordering and a branded mobile app that complements its Blimpie Run game for smartphones and tablets. The chain's third-quarter limited-time offer will pay tribute to Blimpie's origins: the Hoboken Hero, which will be an Italian sub with capicola, salami and pepperoni.
"For us, it's about staying as true as we can to our roots with the premium deli meats sliced fresh to order," Evans said. "At the same time, it's a changing marketplace. … Now we're staying on trend and competitive by embracing the technology our customers are embracing, engaging with them in the ways they want. It's important with a 50-year-old brand to make sure we're evolving."

Seven Days0 Reviews
Iruka watches one of his students the week before the fall of the Uchihas. My version of the Uchiha massacre, in another dimension. Oneshot, AU
Bound: Don't make fun of my crappy one-shots ok! It's not nice!
Disclaimer: seriously people, if anybody owned what they were writing about, it wouldn't be called FANfiction
Iruka watched throughout the days a boy in one of his classes. He wasn't particularly genius or social but there was something about him that drew the teacher's eyes. Most people would assume now that he was talking about his surrogate son, Naruto, but he wasn't. The boy he was talking about was none other than Uchiha Sasuke.
It had taken awhile but after the first few weeks he had realized why he couldn't tear his eyes from the boy. Everyday, on some point of his body…..bruises. The boy who was admired for being graceful always had some sort of injury. And the Uchiha was admired. True he wasn't pure genius, and he didn't seem to like people but people liked him. Most had given up on being his friend though, for the boy seemed cold.
It worried the young teacher. Sasuke….didn't live. He simply existed. He went through all the motions of living with no emotional attachment. No kid his age should seem that weary, that tired of being alive. As he sat and worried over how to somehow help his student, his student was coming to a decision of his own. In seven days, things would change.
Day 1
Homeroom came and went, and soon the Uchiha boy entered his classroom. Class went as usual, but Sasuke seemed distracted. Iruka always asked every student at least one question everyday and the black haired teenager was always able to answer the question given...but today he hadn't even looked up when his name was called. Bell ringing, the students all left to their next classes before their teacher could ask anymore questions.
The brown haired man got through the rest of his day relatively quickly and was now at the public library. It was Friday and there was something he wanted to study up on before he saw his student again. The library was closed tomorrow though so he had to get them now. Checking out a couple of books on the teenage psychology he sat down at a secluded table to read.
Day 2
Saturday was loud and crazy, students were ready for their day off. Even Uchiha Sasuke seemed restless, fidgeting every so often in his chair. He had been wanting to go over the last test as a class, but he was starting to realize that it would be hopeless. Officially giving up he gave the class free time for the rest of the period. Iruka could use this to his advantage anyways.
He looked down to his black haired student and then made his way towards him. Coming to a stop in front of his desk, he noticed a new mark on the young boy. Finger like marks lined his jaw, as if someone has squeezed his face. He hadn't realized that he had been standing there for sometime without saying anything.
" Is there something you need Iruka-sensei?" Sasuke said breaking his teacher out of a trance like state.
"Ah yes," he said taking a quick look around before continuing. " Sasuke, I've noticed that you seem distracted lately..."
"I'm fine." The boy cut off before Iruka could finish his question. Once again the bell rang before Iruka could continue. "If you would excuse me Iruka-sensei, I need to be getting to my next class."
The man sighed as his student walked off. ' I'll have to try harder next time.'
Day 3
Iruka set down his book and decided to take a break from reading. It was getting late and he had been reading those teen psychology books all day. He sat down at the kitchen table and rested his head against it. According to those books Sasuke had all the symptoms of a majorly depressed child.(AN: umm right I know if I were you I would probably stop reading around this point but please continue!) Raising his head he looked at the clock, 10:30. 'Theres not much more I can do tonight.' He went to bed knowing what he would do tomorrow, he was going to talk to the school counselor.
Day 4
Iruka made it through the first class of that Monday blushing the whole time. He referred Sasuke to the counselor like he planned, but that Kakashi-sensei was a pervert! He still couldn't understand how someone like that had gotten a job at a high school. His musings were interrupted as Naruto walked into his classroom. The hyper active teen had office aid first period, he hated it but his crush Haruno Sakura had it as well.
" Hey Iruka-sensei!" the boy called, waving as he walked towards him. Turning towards the class he noticed many glares directed his way. Iruka's class had a pop quiz right now. "Uhh...oops?"
"What is it Naruto?" Iruka asked the boy as he was handed an office slip.
"The perv wants to see someone," he nodded towards the Uchiha.
"Thanks Naruto, you should return to your office duties now."
" Yeah, yeah. See ya Iruka-sensei" He raised his hand over his back as he exited the classroom.
Looking down at the slip, he walked over to Sasuke and handed it to him. "Don't worry about the quiz, you can make it up later." His student just gazed at him dully as he took the pass and left the classroom. He did not come back for the remainder of the period, and Iruka hope he had done the right thing.
Day 5
The next day Uchiha Sasuke came to class totally different then the day before. He seemed...happy? In an odd way. Iruka had never seen it before so he didn't really know how to describe it. He didn't know what to think of it. The students had noticed too, but after awhile didn't care anymore. A couple of them even talked to the Uchiha without getting pushed completely away. What was going on with his student?
Day 6
Iruka was really worried. After Sasuke's strange behavior he had checked up on this books he checked out, and what he found wasn't good. Sudden drastic personality and emotional changes. Those were two signs that someone had decided to commit suicide. Class that day was the same as the day before, and Iruka stared worriedly at the black haired Uchiha.
After class Iruka stopped the boy before he left.
"Is something wrong Sasuke?"
"No, everything is good Iruka-sensei." He said it sincerely, an odd look in his eyes. "I have to get to class now," He smiled at his teacher.
Day 7
The school day was almost already over, and the whole of the student body was at an assembly. Sasuke was still acting oddly, and Iruka had come to the decision to call his parents. Dialing the number he heard the phone ring, and keep ringing. He tried again and left a message telling them that he was worried about Sasuke, but not why.
He didn't know that they would never get it.
The next day, everyone knew. The school held an assembly for the it. There had been a big loss in their society. Uchiha Sasuke had murdered his now known to be abusive family, and Uchiha Itachi was the only survivor. The teens older brother had walked in on him as he shot the last person, their father, and had called the police. Sasuke hadn't gone after his brother, who had fled, and was found sitting by his dead mother with smile on his face.
Bound: So uh... that's the end...right. Please review!

Well maybe, coffee misanthropy, military misanthropy, and musical misanthropy aren't totally unrelated? They are all misanthropy.
Aye aye, that would be a sad day
Rebekah, you wrote: "Why do these conversations have to happen on my posts? :o)" It's because we're eagerly *READING* your posts, my dear! Some time ago there was a sudden paucity of comments at The Point. Feeling bad at seeing all those "0 Comments" posts one after the other, I thought I'd encourage the authors by at least leaving a sentence or two, to assure them that someone had read their words. That made me a minor stench in the nostrils of my fellow Pointificators, but I hoped (and still hope) it was worth it to the bloggers. So thanks for the book reference; I'll check it out since I love Bach and love even more seeing stuffed shirts get their comeuppance from God.
Sorry, my fault. I was just so struck with horror at the idea of NO COFFEE, EVER. *whimper* Seriously, the book sounds terrific.
Why do these conversations have to happen on my posts? :o)
Maybe they wouldn't have wanted to kill so many people if they'd had their coffee!
Oh well, Gina, coffee isn't a proper Prussian beverage. Prussians were mainly good at killing people, making new-fangled philosophies that culminate in killing people, and attending operas about killing people. Coffee is for English speakers, who cross oceans, traverse deserts, climb mountains, settle continents, and go to the moon. While still remaining good at killing people.
Aye, Gina. Wasn't it ever?
Forbidding coffee?? That's HORRIBLE!
Well, Old Fritz was a dour fellow. He often reminds me of Ebenezzer Scrooge. Much of his career wasn't all that enlightend although much of that can be written off as "Thats what Kings do", and he wasn't a bad ruler as rulers go. He did however commit the atrocious tyranny of forbidding coffee to commoners. On the whole, I like his opponent Maria Theresa better who was simply a nicer person, and besides, she really was A Beautiful Princess.

Forget Apple & Samsung, Here Come the Convertibles
Joshua is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I've been following the consumer electronics industry for about six years now, and what Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and its partners have been preparing for the last six months or so is sure to change the game with tablets and laptops alike. You better get ready for it.
Tablets and laptops seem, to some, like apples and oranges, and it's actually why Microsoft was criticized left and right for its Windows 8 operating system back in October. Let's face it, it was an OS made for touchscreens - something that most laptops and PCs at the time plainly lacked. However, it's been four months since Windows 8 hit the shelves, and if you've been so much as glancing at the major manufacturers, namely Lenovo (NASDAQOTH: LNVGY) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), then you'd have noticed they're finally starting to catch up with Microsoft's innovations - and Apple and Samsung alike should be worried. What we're finally seeing hit the shelves are what Windows 8 should have launched with: convertible tablet PCs.
Convertible tablet PCs come in a lot of names, shapes, and sizes, but as far as you should be concerned, they're the future of all consumer electronics. I'm not kidding either; CES was chock-full of convertible tablet PCs, ranging from laptops with detachable screens to desktop computers you lie on the table and play board games with. In this case, all the top manufacturers have begun to roll out Windows 8 and Windows RT devices that double as both laptops and tablets, featuring a seamless Windows experience along the way. As a result, the convertibles, ranging from $400 to $1200 in price, can satisfy the needs of just about any customer. Whether you want serious gaming, serious portability, or serious business tools, a convertible tablet PC of some kind will exist to suit your needs. For example, if you're looking for serious portability, Lenovo isn't new to the world of convertible tablet pcs with its ThinkPad line, and it's already saying the future of all its new laptops will very likely be convertible tablet PCs. Lenovo's new ideaTab Lynx PC is already getting rave reviews as not only being a "shockingly light" tablet, but also an impressive one with a battery built into the keyboard. Right away the Lenovo ideaTab Lynx is throwing into the ring a powerful tablet PC with a superb battery life, and price tag identical to an iPad.
This reality however is the same with HP, Dell, Acer, and a consortium of other PC manufacturers, and Microsoft is orchestrating it all to ensure they stay reelvant. If the reality of Dell going private, or HP's recent 16% income decline are any clue as to how desparate these manufacturers have become, then it's easy to see how much they're setting their eyes on the tablet market. Thanks to Windows 8, Microsoft is giving them all the tools they need to accomplish it too. Instead of playing a war of attrition with Android, Windows 8 gives them an ace in the hole.
Now why should Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Samsung be so worried? Look at it this way; Windows is just too versatile to compete with in the long run. Apple's iOS and Samsung's Android tablets both have their advantages in the vast app stores and market control, but these new convertibles are offering something that no tablet alone can offer: the ability to have your cake and eat it too. An iPad can have tons of apps, and help you read email and browse the web like any other tablet, but it can't run Photoshop; it can't utilize your company's proprietary desktop software; it can't play hard-ball with businesspeople, gamers, or students. A convertible tablet PC not only has the same competitive (from 8 to 16 hours) battery life and versatility of tablets, but also all the goodies of a laptop to match it. Why buy a tablet and a laptop when you can buy one device to serve both purposes? It's a cheaper, easier, and more seamless solution - and it runs Windows. Thanks to Microsoft's new Windows 8 interface, they found a way to merge two worlds once divided, and this will allow them to take the tablet market by storm. It's only been about a month since convertible tablet PCs have started coming out en mass, but Apple is already reaching its point of saturation for 10-inch tablets, meaning the only direction it can go is down. The IDC has reported Apple's market share consistently drop for the last year, and while it's trying to make that up with its iPad Mini, the fact remains Apple already knows it's dead in the water with full-size tablets, leaving plenty of room for Microsoft's many partners to storm in with Windows-powered hybrids. Plus, Lenovo is already making a shocking jump into the market, pumping out more than half a dozen different convertible tablet PCs. Even Samsung is getting in on the action with its ATIV Smart PCs, and Lenovo already knows where the money is: with convertibles. To top it off, Microsoft's own Surface Pro tablet sold out in almost instantly when sales exceeded expectations. The people have spoken: they want Windows 8
In the end tablets are going to still exist, and the Windows 8 and Widows RT experience has a long way to go until it's going to be tossing Apple and Samsung into the street, but what you're seeing is Microsoft's trump card against Apple and Android. Microsoft can't offer the best independent OS experience, so it's bringing Windows along for the ride, and winning over every type of customer in the process. Convertible tablet PCs change the entire way you should see tablets, and pretty soon everyone will own one. It won't be long until Microsoft reigns over the tablet-verse in the process, and Windows will be what leads the charge.

5 Scintillating Value Plays from Trapeze Asset Management
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Founded in 1999 by Randall and Herbert Abramson, Trapeze Asset Management is a medium-sized hedge fund based in Toronto, Ontario. Like most of its peers in the hedge fund industry, Trapeze invests in both equities and fixed income assets and regarding the former, it employs quite a bit of contrarianism. Trapeze is currently bullish on Canadian small-cap stocks, but it also invests in large-caps trading in the United States.
One of the nice aspects of Randall and Herbert Abramson's fund is that it discloses its most important trades in quarterly letters to investors, the latest of which we've been lucky enough to get our hands on. Written in mid-November, Trapeze's Q3 letter gives a succinct look at the fund's contrarian ideals, likening value investing to a "Lonely Hearts Club."
On this strategy, the Abramsons discuss how "staying lonely and avoiding crowds" is the best way to trade undervalued assets with promising firm or industry-specific growth prospects. On the subject of equities, the letter cites a point made by San Diego-based Brandes Investment Partners (via Barron's), that mentions the spread between overvalued and undervalued stocks is wider than historical averages, making now a superb time to buy cheap. It discusses that "'In the past, when the spread between pricey stocks and cheap ones has been wide it has tended to be an excellent time to buy the latter."'
While Trapeze does mention some of its top picks trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, we're going to take a look at the fund's investments that do most of their trading within U.S. borders. We'll start with two NYSE-listed stocks that were included in Trapeze's "Top Holdings—Beautiful Wallflowers" section: OfficeMax (NYSE: OMX) and Metlife (NYSE: MET).
Looking at OfficeMax first, we can see a stock that has hurt long-term investors (down 26.9% over the past three years), but those who have bought in more recently have been rewarded. Shares of the office supply store have nearly doubled since June 1, and Trapeze thinks more gains could be in store. Here's what co-founders Randall and Herb had to say about the company:
"OfficeMax, although known to consumers and with sizeable sales, has been overlooked by investors because of the negative sentiment toward anything smaller cap and also perceived as being under threat from the Internet providers [...] the company is employing its own levers to advance earnings, including operating efficiencies and cost cutting. And it's working. The company just reported a stellar quarter with slightly lower top line but about a 40% profit lift. The company's market cap is now about $700 million. Non-operating assets, on and off balance sheet items, are at least $180 million [...] including net cash of $125 million. We are essentially paying just $520 million for the current free-cash-stream of $60 million annually, or about 8.5x free cash flow."
In addition to OfficeMax's attractive FCF valuation, shares also trade at a meager price-to-earnings growth ratio of 0.44 based on the sell-side's consensus EPS growth estimates, which expect 4-5% annual growth over the next half-decade. Driven by the company's cost-cutting initiative to close underperforming stores, these positive expectations are a far cry from the double-digit earnings compression it has experienced over the past five years. Other hedge fund managers that were quite bullish on OfficeMax's prospects last quarter include: Steven Cohen (+9,821%), Ken Griffin (+383%), and Cliff Asness (+44%). Check out other big bets made by Cliff Asness recently, and Ken Griffin's top picks can be seen here.
Getting to Trapeze's other U.S.-traded "wallflower" pick Metlife, we can see a decidedly different picture. Shares of this multi-national insurance provider have lost around 12% over the past three months, but its size alone - Metlife is America's largest life insurer in terms of total assets - warrants investors' consideration. Here's what Trapeze had to say about MET:
"MetLife, like most insurance companies today, is out of favour because the prospect of higher interest rates from fixed income holdings, a key source of earnings, appears dim and the prospect of more government regulation appears likely. So this dominant international life insurance company trades at less than 6x earnings and well below book value. Our FMV estimate is over 50% higher than the share price, and growing. The company has excess capital which it and key shareholders would like returned to shareholders via dividends or share buybacks. However, the sale of its small banking operation, which is overseen by the Fed, has been holding up the process for months. While frustrating, this should be resolved shortly. Like our other large-cap holdings we are looking for a potential return to fair value in excess of 25% per year over the next 2 years."
It's important that Randall and Herb mentioned Metlife's sale of its online banking business to GE Capital, which was just approved by federal regulators on December 14. According to MarketWatch, a "GE spokesman said the deal is on track to close before year end."
While Metlife's current dividend yield of 2.3% is below competitors like Prudential Financial (3.1%) and Principal Financial (3.0%), the conclusion of its transaction with GE will likely be followed by a payout boost sometime in 2013, assuming that the Dodd-Frank doesn't regulate MetLife as a nonbank systemically important financial institution. A nonbank SIFI designation would require it to maintain more stringent capital requirements, as Barron's has discussed recently.
In the "Additions And Deletions" segment of Trapeze's latest letter, three bullish plays are mentioned in particular: American International Group (NYSE: AIG), Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), and Owens-Illinois (NYSE: OI).
Regarding AIG, it's important to note that the insurer was a favorite of the hedge fund industry at large in the third quarter. Of the 400 funds we track, 110 had long positions vs. 61 at the end of the second quarter, good for an 80% increase. Steven Cohen and SAC Capital Advisors were some of the biggest bulls in AIG; see Cohen's entire portfolio here.
The federal government officially closed its bailout of AIG early last week, selling the remainder of its 15.9% stake in the company. With the completion of its deal, investors can buy an insurer that's expected to make close to $36 billion in revenue next year at only 0.7 times sales. Wall Street expects AIG to average 14-15% annual EPS growth over the next five years, but the markets are valuing this potential at a mere PEG of 0.16. Clearly, there's still a bit of "All Investments Gone" sentiment tied to this stock, but a negative bias won't hang over AIG forever.
Shares of Southwest Airlines, meanwhile, have been hurt by "high jet fuel prices and an anemic economy" according to Trapeze's letter. Much like AIG, Southwest is undervalued on a sales, cash and earnings basis, and concerning the latter, this is true even though bottom line growth is expected to pick up significantly over the next few years.
On average, sell-side analysts are predicting an annual EPS growth rate of about 18% through 2017, a significant improvement from the negative growth Southwest experienced last year. A below-average cost base and its ongoing conversion of newly acquired AirTran assets are other key growth drivers. Jet fuel prices also look to be stabilizing as we head into the new year.
Last but certainly not least, Randall and Herb mention that their fund increased its position in Owens-Illinois. The duo discusses that OI's "overly aggressive growth plans to meet incremental demand caus[ed] self-inflicted bloated costs as it had to ship its glass products from plants farther from customers." As these costs normalize, the Street expects earnings to rise by 8% in 2013, with slightly higher annual growth predicted over the longer term.
OI's forecast is slightly below what's expected of peers like Ball Corp (10.6%) and Crown Holdings (10.2%), but investors aren't valuing this differential properly. Its shares trade at a price-to-earnings growth multiple of 0.9, while Ball and Crown are around 30% more expensive.
On the whole, Randall and Herbert Abramson of Trapeze Asset Management discuss a fine group of value opportunities, each with their own growth initiatives that can push shares higher over the long haul. OfficeMax is in the midst of an effective cost cutting program and Metlife is in a great position to boost its dividend, while AIG has just been freed of government ownership. Southwest and Owens Illinois, meanwhile, are both seeing their respective cost structures improve heading into 2013.
The best advice that Randall and Herb give their readers is that "[i]t's indeed frustrating to wait until what's undervalued is discovered and generally embraced," but "[v]alue investors need to be patient and stay the course," adding that it is "[w]orth the wait."

Semiahmoo to lose shipyard
The Trillium Corporation has terminated a year-to-year lease agreement it has had with Blaine Marine Services, and according to owner Bob Brooks it means "there will no longer be a shipyard on Semiahmoo Spit."
Trillium's Wayne Schwandt confirmed that "while we will continue to operate the fuel dock in some way, the upland repair yard and haul-out facility will go away."
He said that Trillium is telling Brooks to vacate the property "in anticipation of the build-out of the spit" and added that "the chandlery, the boating store, will continue in some fashion" but that the development's master plan calls for other uses at the upland repair yard site.
Brooks said that he is "investigating alternatives" but did not specify what those were because "we're in discussions with some people but to say anything else right now would be premature."
The Semiahmoo Marina can accommodate nearly 300 boats and is owned and operated by a condominium association of boaters who own their own slips. Blaine's other marina is on Marine Drive and is operated by the Port of Bellingham.
It accommodates 629 recreational and pleasure boats plus a visitor's dock over 700 feet long. A 30-ton travel lift is available at Westman Marine, and fuel is available from the Blaine Marina located on Fisherman's Wharf.
Semiahmoo Marina Association board member Tom Long said that, "Brooks' departure doesn't have anything to do with the condo association. That's an issue between Blaine Marine Services and the Trillium corporation."
Long said that the association will need to have some dry-land facilities in the future such as a place for garbage collection and a marina office.

Reliable and Economical by Team EG 92 on 06/03/2012. Trim: 1993 Honda Civic DX Hatchback, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Great on gas, extremely reliable. My first type of car, and i dont plan on ever getting rid of it. It has about 140K, i drive it from North Orlando to Miami and back at least once a month. It is my daily driver (literally), i log at least 40 miles a day. Fairly small body, making it easy to park, and slip through traffic. Low maintenance costs, and if you do its regular oil/filter changes, top off fluids, and cleaning to avoid engine grime, inspect for worn hoses/leaks, sparkplug/battery changes, check tire pressure/brakes, and freon charge, then you shouldnt have a major breakdown fora long time, ive seen them reach 300K, they are very strong vehicles, my personal favorites. Good luck :]
Cons: The only thing that bothers me is the cup holders, the only size that fits is a standard small cup >_< and for some odd reason it seem to be a common issue that develops over time, when eventually the lock switch on the inside of the car (driver side) jams up, and you can no longer lock the door when you get out, only when the door is closed, either manually from the inside or turning the key from the outside. Nothing electrical mind you its an older car, but not a major fallback, if your not lazy to lock your door with the key, or take it to get it fixed, which isnt but $40 at most.
Overall review: 10/10 in my book. I have owned 2, bought both from original owners, still daily drivers and in the family. 91 ef (manual) and 93 eg (auto). Wouldnt trade them for nothing else.

Great Family Movie Night Food Ideas
Classic movie snacks and food are perfect choices for your at-home movie night; and, they are certainly much cheaper at home! As in all family fun nights, supper should be light and easy to prepare so that you can get right to the fun. Take-out is always an option, but we're trying to increase the number of at-home meals at our house. I've found a few favorite online spots with recipe ideas for quick and healthy meals.

Family Fun and/or Movie Nights
Family movie nights are just a bit more structured than simply renting a movie and letting the kids watch it. You will need to consider movies that are
free from profanity
free from sexual content and excessive violence
. There is hope and a simple way to take care of all these things and make your night enjoyable. Remember, the point of a family fun night is to make it a simple, but special event that involves all the family.
Set a movie start time and take care of all chores before you settle in for the movie. Movies are an escape, and you can't escape when you're so close to all those household tasks that needed to be done. A darkened room and plenty of comfy seating are the prerequisites to family movie night. The nice thing about watching movies at home is that you are in control. Schedule an intermission for bathroom and snack breaks. Or, make it a double feature with the second showing after the youngest have gone to bed.
There's nothing easier than grabbing a DVD at the local movie store. At least, that's what I thought until we tried
. With Netflix you pay a flat monthly fee and receive DVD's by mail. When you finish one, send it back and they will mail you the next one on your list. It's fun to check your mail and find the new movies you have for the weekend. If you live in a location with a convenient Blockbuster and have kids who enjoy video games, Blockbuster's identical program also includes a free in-store video game rental each month. You can also exchange your movies at your local store. What I really like with Netflix or
is that with either program with the Internet in your home you may use your computer to instantly watch movies on your computer or on your TV instantly streaming the video whenever you wish without having to drive or walk to the the
nearest kiosk and then have to return it. I don't know if you are like me, but I hardly ever get them back the next day or a friend wants to borrow it, usually costing me more than the initial costs. I can just go on line and instantly watch a high quality
streaming video
of the movie of my choice. More useful and simpler to setup and use is a Roko device, a television with these features enabled or a PS3 or Wii system, as well as, some Blu-ray or DVD systems enabled with Internet access to set up for your Netflix or Blockbuster account.
If you've ever stood in a video store and wondered whether a title would be enjoyable and appropriate for family viewing, you will find that with just a few quick clicks on your computer you can have all the info you need to make great movie choices. Online reviews and content details will help you evaluate a movie before you rent or buy, plus you'll get ideas for good movies to try. I've been pleased with the movie recommendations based on my rentals at Netflix; and, I always find some great ideas for movies I wanted to see but didn't.
For clean family entertainment a system called
is the best that I have found that seamlessly removes any inappropriate content that you set to avoid. Think about it! You can get any DVD you would like to watch, but haven't because of inappropriate material that the movie contains, pop it in the
ClearPlay DVD player
and you will be able to watch the movie without the curse words, sex scenes and the like. ClearPlay is a
DVD player
that will enable your family to enjoy all of the wonderful Hollywood movies you've always wanted to watch—without all of the junk you didn't' want.

GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) -- Uncertainty over federal funding has some state and city leaders worried about projects to renovate or replace two Red River bridges connecting Grand Forks with East Grand Forks, Minn.
The local Metropolitan Planning Organization has the Kennedy Bridge scheduled to be upgraded in 2016, and the Sorlie Bridge scheduled for work in 2018. Replacing both bridges could cost more than $50 million.
MPO Executive Director Earl Haugen says all options are still on the table, including doing just minimal repairs. But he says uncertainty over congressional funding has put all options in question.
Local officials are pressing ahead, forming an advisory committee and holding public meetings to learn more about the needs and wants of the community for each bridge.

PRAIRIE DU SAC, WI (WTAQ) - If you're looking for the best drinking water in the countryside, look no further than Prairie du Sac in Sauk County.
The National Rural Water Association recently held its "Great American Water Taste Test," and Prairie du Sac's water was preferred over second-place Emporia Kansas and third-place Psagh Iowa.
Wisconsin's USDA rural development agency is also touting the honor.
Its director, Stan Gruszynski, said the award recognizes a community that has worked hard to provide its residents with quality water. And not only does Prairie du Sac have adequate and tasty water supplies – it's also got some great bragging rights.
Gruszynski also said it shows the importance of investing in rural water infrastructure. The USDA has spent $8 billion since 2009 on new and improved water systems that benefit over 12 million rural residents, plus 4.5 million other households and businesses.

Homework Help Available at Southern Oaks Library
Homework. You hate it. You have to do it. But you don't have to let it get the better of you.
Once again this semester, the Southern Oaks Library, 6900 S. Walker, (405) 631-4468, is offering Homework Help from 4-6pm on Tuesday afternoons. Help will be available for students in grades 1-5.
"You won't find many adults whose eyes don't glaze over when you mention homework to them," said Southern Oaks librarian John Hilbert. "They may not have had to do anything that looked like homework for 30 years, but they still remember how much they hated it."
How much easier would homework be if you had someone to help out? Not do it for you—that would be too easy. But a little help is legal and makes a good learning experience.
"Our Homework Help will be available on Tuesdays from 4 to 6pm," Hilbert added, "except for March 16, 23, and 30th. Give us a call and we'll see what we can do to help."
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org.

A New Jersey winery has raised more than $5,000 to help rebuilding efforts after Superstorm Sandy thanks to brisk sales of a line of table wines with customizable labels.
Old York Cellars, located in a rural community in Hunterdon County called Ringoes, named the red, white, and blush vino What Exit Wines, featuring labels with town names, parkway exits, or other special messages. Several premade labels are available, including "Stronger than the Storm," the slogan for the state's rebuilding efforts.
The bottles retail for $18, with $1 of that going to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund, the state's official storm charity chaired by Mary Pat Christie, the governor's wife.
Old York has moved thousands of bottles via the winery's website, its tasting room, retail outlets, and several restaurants.
One restaurant where the wine has been a hit is Hoboken's Little Town NJ, which buys about 12 to 18 cases a week, according to Old York's sales manager, Jenny Tanner.
In fact, What Exit Wines are the waterfront restaurant's biggest seller, according to Executive Chef Jordan Andino. Many patrons are surprised that the state not only produces wine but that it is good, too. Indeed, all the wines and beers served at Little Town NJ are from New Jersey wineries and craft breweries.
"They come in and they don't really expect anything," said Scott McKinney, assistant general manager. "They expect that you have these super-sweet grapes that have no flavor other than sweetness, or sugar. But they come in and are 'Wow, this is dry, it's complex. You get different notes and aromas from it.' I think that's what's helping change [the perception], too." He said patrons tell the staff that they especially savor the wines from Old York, which at the restaurant carry a custom "Hoboken" label.
Little Town NJ, which opened in April in a space on Sinatra Drive damaged in Superstorm Sandy, is owned by brothers Chris and Albie Manzo, former stars of "Real Housewives of New Jersey." Its New Jersey-themed menu relies heavily on local ingredients, such as Jersey tomatoes, Jersey Taylor ham, Cape May clams and oysters, and more. The decor also reflects that Garden State sensibility, with photos, paintings, and souvenirs depicting scenes from the Jersey Shore and Hoboken. Part of one wall is adornded by boardwalk material.
When the resturant first opened, managers expected it to be more of a beer place. But very quickly they discovered that the clientele wanted good wine to go with the imaginative menu items, Chef Andino said.
"What do you have when you're having a nice dinner? You're going to have wine," Andino said. "You're not going to drink to get drunk. [You] want taste, [you] want flavor. So that's where the wine comes in, that's where the craft beer comes in." He said the restaurant is adding more than 20 menu items, mostly entrees, in response to patrons' hunger for a more sophisticated dinner experience beyond apps, sliders, and "sammies."
Meantime, the positive response to the wine helped fuel the winery's fundraising. Little Town NJ's wine orders account for about 40 percent of the five grand raised, according to David Wolin, Old York's owner. He said the winery continues to raise money for the fund.
Old York Cellars, one of several wineries in the Delaware River Valley, makes wine with grapes from its own vineyard and also sourced from California and elsewhere.

Give to ICSR
Wii™ the People is a civically-minded bowling league that brings together diverse groups of people to bridge polarization and revitalize active community dialogue.
Wii™ the People Bowling League was inspired by Robert Putnam's compelling book, Bowling Alone. Putnam's book describes the breakdown in American civic involvement and social capital in the latter of half of the 20th century. As an institution dedicated to developing the capacities of our communities, ICSR created Wii™ the People Bowling League to bring together groups with very different ideas in our community to dialogue, explain ideas, and hopefully find common ground.
The ICSR's Wii the People bowling league takes place in the spring semester and generally takes on a theme (e.g. politics, local and national issues, religious diversity). Each league includes up to twelve teams.
League Logistics:
- 4 Week Regular Season
- Play once per week (1 hour commitment)
- 2 Leagues (Randomly Selected)
- 1 Championship Game
- Common Ground - participants will be actively involved in working together on a contemporary topic to discover areas of similarities.
2013 Wii the People Champions - St. Thomas Aquinas Growling Turtles
2012 Wii the People Champions Baptist Campus Ministries (BCM)
A Civically Minded Bowling League:
"Let us find ways to ensure that ...Americans will spend less leisure time sitting passively alone in front of a glowing screen and more time in active connection with our fellow citizens. Let us foster new forms of electronic entertainment and communication that reinforce community engagement rather than forestalling it. (Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam)

One day in 2009, Julie Huston Ellis '71 received a call from Memphis Mayor AC Wharton, Jr., offering her the rare opportunity to chair the city's Metro Charter Commission and forge a proposal for a consolidated government between Memphis and Shelby County.
"It was the kind of phone call you should never take," laughed Ellis, who is currently a Randolph trustee and attorney in Memphis.
She knew the proposal would be controversial, but she also saw the possibilities that could arise from a more efficient government.
An economics major at Randolph-Macon Woman's College, Ellis brought a broad range of experience in both the law and corporate world to the charter commission. After completing law school at the University of Florida (UF), Ellis served as assistant general counsel to the city of Jacksonville, Florida, where the government had been consolidated for seven years.
"The city was growing like a charm, and there was investment in buildings, transportation links, and the seaport," Ellis said.
While chairing the commission, Ellis also found that she and Wharton shared common experiences. She was one of the first women to study law at UF, and he was one of the first African-American professors at the University of Mississippi. Their commitment to the city was just as strong.
"We had a lot of similarities in our backgrounds, and we both felt that Memphis could be better," she said. "We wanted to keep taxes low and wanted to keep young people in the Memphis area."
The commission studied 40 other cities and applied benchmarking methods that Ellis had used during 17 years working in the corporate world with FedEx. The work was eye opening for Ellis.
"I met some of the finest business leaders. I spoke at many churches all over Memphis. I saw the necessity of community and neighborhood strength," she said.
When the proposal went to the voters in November 2010, it received 51 percent of the vote in Memphis, but failed to pass in the suburbs. Ellis believes it will be the catalyst for school consolidation which, in turn, will lead to a more efficient form of government.
Her work on the commission also helped earn Ellis the Ruby R. Wharton Award for Outstanding Service in the Field of Business and Government this year. The award is given to outstanding women for exceptional contributions to the Memphis area.
For her, the entire process, not the outcome, was the opportunity. And it gave her an appreciation for what the nation's founders faced when trying to create a government.
" It is an experiment in democracy to have a charter commission write a constitution," Ellis said.

Duke University senior diver and Olympic medalist Nick McCrory won his fourth NCAA title in Division I Men's Swimming and Diving.
The championship was held at the Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin.
McCrory becomes the first athlete to win four NCAA titles in platform diving, reports GoDuke.com.
"I'm just really proud for my school," McCrory said. "They've done so much to support me and get me here and keep me going. I'm really happy to be representing Duke."
During the 2012 Olympic games in London, McCrory won a bronze medal in synchronized diving, making it the first time since 1996 that the United States won a medal in the sport.

Subtlety Rogue DPS Guide (MoP 5.4)
Welcome to our Subtlety Rogue DPS guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.4. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Subtlety Rogue in a raid environment, although most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Dryaan, one of the best Rogues in the world, who raids in Envy. You can watch his stream on Twitch.
Subtlety Rogues currently provide very good single-target DPS, better than Combat Rogues and on par with Assassination Rogues. However, they lack proper AoE damage tools.
As is the case with all Rogues, Subtlety Rogues provide many utilities and crowd control abilities to your raid. They also have a variety of survival abilities that will always come in handy.
To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 7 pages:
- Builds, Talents, and Glyphs: learn how to choose your talents and glyphs;
- Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities: master your rotation and your cooldowns;
- Buffs, Debuffs, and Useful Abilities: discover your arsenal of useful abilities;
- Statistics Priority and Reforging: read up on the respective values of your statistics;

Schrempest in a Teapot
With Shawn Horcoff's injury a concern there is the possibility of a callup from Springfield in the next little while.
Candidates would include Liam Reddox, Rob Schremp, JF Jacques and Marc Pouliot, with Schremp leading the team in scoring and Pouliot being the lone center in the mix.
An item in today's Journal will probably light a fire with the fanbase and shut down the Al Gore by the noon whistle.
To quote the Edmonton Journal: MacTavish hasn't dipped into the minors for help in weeks, but said Tuesday that Marc Pouliot is playing well in Springfield, and he could get another look in a while. Not Rob Schremp, who played in the AHL all-star game? "Not in the foreseeable future," said MacTavish.
There will be much gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands, some phlebotomy and leeches and some new phrases and word combinations.
If the Al Gore had been around in the 1980s, would we have done this over Summanen? Soules?
The one thing that remains incredible to me is that Schremp hasn't asked for a trade. Based on all the reports about his bad attitude it would seem to be an obvious option but the kid has said the right things all down the line.
I'm a big fan of draft day scouting reports but it would appear that the 100,000 words written about his selfish attitude and pettiness were much ado about nothing. The scouts might have spend more time on his skating flaws, it would have helped.
Anyway, the kid is having a good season and I'm finally cheering for him again. As for Pouliot I'm at a point when I'll believe it when it comes to pass.
In my opinion, he's already passed the Last Chance Texaco and is running out of gas with the Oilers.

The Research Triangle Park is looking to become a place where people live and work, according to a new vision of the park announced Monday by Bob Geolas, president of the Research Triangle Park.
The 7,000-acre park, most of which is in Durham County, has purchased several more parcels to add to its size and will have mixed-use development there.
It's a major change for the park, which began in 1959 and began to rise to national prominence when companies like IBM shifted workers to RTP in the 1960s.
"We don't intend to just
keep up," Geolas said. "We want to take leadership of what that new environment looks like."
Geolas said a key part of the new RTP will be commuter rail.
"We are absolutely committed to dedicated rail," Geolas said.
Geolas said RTP will push development at the new site quickly and a site plan should be ready in two months. Construction would begin as soon as possible.
The first phase of RTP's transformation will be using 100 acres to start building homes. Those who own companies in the park say that's vital to attract the next generation of workers.
"This design will not only
bring young people interested in living and working at RTP, they'll have
things to do and be committed to staying in the area," said Shelia Ryba, a local business owner.
And Nathaniel Pettiford, a commercial real estate adviser, said, "If they build residential, they'll be shopping
centers and things of that nature to service those who are living here."
Geolas said the proposed Chatham Park is "not our competition" and there was room for both ideas in the region.
There are currently about 50,000 people who work in RTP, which is home to about 170 companies. About 10,000 of those who work in the park are contract employees.

-- Robert Preidt
TUESDAY, Aug. 31 (HealthDay News) -- Residents of the U.S. East
Coast need to take steps to prepare for Hurricane Earl, say Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials.
Puerto Rico and northeast Caribbean islands were lashed with
winds, rain and waves Monday and the hurricane, now a powerful
Category 4 storm, is on a projected path to the East Coast.
At the moment, there are no hurricane warnings or watches in
effect for the U.S. mainland, but current projections from the
National Hurricane Center show that Earl could affect states up and
down the East Coast. People also need to know that storm tracks can
change quickly and unexpectedly, FEMA said.
All residents should take measures to be prepared and ensure
their safety, advised FEMA Adminstrator Craig Fugate. Steps include
putting together an emergency kit with 72 hours worth of food and
water, developing a family communications plan, and listening to
the radio or TV for information about risks and evacuations.
Among other federal government recommendations if the hurricane
is likely to strike your area:
People should evacuate under the following conditions:
If you are unable to evacuate, go to your safe room. If you do
not have a safe room, you should:
