Chip stocks in a bona fide breakout
The semiconductor sector is proving naysayers wrong, taking off on product cycles and worldwide economic strength.
By Jim Cramer, TheStreet
Going into this quarter, one thing was pretty certain for the tech analysts: Semiconductor companies would disappoint. They would either fall prey to "the end of the restocking" angle or the "last good quarter" angle. They would disappoint, and numbers would have to go down.
Now, with the bulk of earnings behind us, we can see that, without a doubt, this most hated group has truly broken out. And in a way I haven't seen in many, many years. Not just quarters but years.
The move is taking everyone by surprise. In fact, it is doing more than that. It is upending a theme, one that has been with us for many years now: that the group is a cyclical nightmare, with a cycle that's never as strong as you can get from a Caterpillar (CAT) or a Freeport-McMoran (FCX) and therefore undeserving of any multiple. It's just a hated group.
Now look at it. Consider Broadcom (BRCM). It gave us an across-the-board upside surprise on everything related to cloud and wireless. It blew people away, especially given that it had become a pretty easy short-at-the-quarter trade for most hedge funds.
Or consider Texas Instruments (TXN). Remember the TXN quarter? It was supposed to be a miss. People said it guided down. This was the second straight disappointment. And during that period the stock has blasted higher, from $25 to $29, and I don't see it looking back. I know Wall Street was skeptical about the buyback, but TXN is incredibly aggressive and seemingly can't be deterred.
Or consider the curious case of Cypress (CY). Here's one that got hammered when it reported, as people didn't read the fine print. It has had about a 25% move since then, and with the company buying in one-third of what is trading, I don't think it stops anytime soon.
Of course, any chip-maker linked with the mobile Internet remains incredibly strong. We can see Triquint (TQNT), Skyworks (SWKS) and RF Micro (RFMD) going higher pretty much daily.
We also see some real pedestrian names taking off. Names like distributors -- Avnet (AVT), Arrow (ARW) and Tech Data (TECD) -- or a computer-aided design firm -- Cadence (CDNS) (long time coming for that one) -- or some real down-and-outers like Fairchild (FCS), National Semi (NSM) and LSI (LSI). The semi-equipment firms are all well bid for -- Lam Research (LRCX), Applied Materials (AMAT) and Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) -- not long after KLIC was supposed to be the canary in a coalmine. How much was I laughed at when I questioned that stock's ability to tell us the future?
Some remain problematic. Intel (INTC) was repelled at resistance last week, and this ActionAlertsPlus name remains cheap but without a catalyst.
Micron (MU) and Advanced Micro (AMD) seem stalled. Cirrus (CRUS) has been a disaster after being so terrific for so long, off its Apple (AAPL) biz. Xilinx (XLNX) has totally stalled out, but it looks like Altera's (ALTR) just taking it to them.
All in all, you have to marvel -- hey, Marvell (MRVL) looks good, too! -- at how this group was supposed to do so poorly just when, as always, it has its usual strength and then some.
Yet I don't hear many converts. The hedge funds are more quick to trash the lone wolf or extrapolate the weakness of one or two players than to recognize that this is a bona fide move, with real point gains that aren't about to be repealed.
Those betting against this group have to hope that the Democrats keep both houses, Bernanke whiffs on QE2 and the labor report is abysmal.
Somehow, I don't think that hat trick will come their way. It's time to dismiss the negativity and remember that product cycles and better-than-expected worldwide economic strength, coupled with capacity taken out from years of disappointment, have given us this bountiful moment.
When will it end? I think that February will be the last month that you can own them, or until Freescale -- one of the worst private-equity deals -- comes public.
Good parameters.

Really Good Read: The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult
Written on March 28, 2013 at 12:30 pm , by Samantha Shelton
At the beginning of the year, many staffers made the resolution to read more in 2013. While statistics show that most resolutions fall by the wayside by the end of January, we're determined to stick with this one! Reading during a commute to work (bonus of public transportation!) and unplugging from technology for a few hours before bed has allowed me to not only unwind after a busy day, but sleep better and prep for tomorrow.
The only downside? When you get a really good read in your hands, it's so hard to put down! That's what happened when Jodi Picoult's latest title, The Storyteller, landed on my desk. Here at FITNESS, we like to get lost in the story of a strong female protagonist, and Picoult gives us just that with Sage Singer, a baker who's trying to escape a reality of loneliness and the emotional scarring her mother's death has left behind.
At her grief group, Sage meets Josef Weber, an elderly gentleman who seems to be the nicest guy in town. Before long she's confiding in him, telling her own stories and developing a friendship. Unfortunately, Josef's befriended her for a reason – he asks her for a huge favor; one that will make him feel better about being a Nazi who worked at one of the worst concentration camps known to man. Yup, he was at Auschwitz.
Not only do we watch as Sage develops her own confidence, but the story bounces back to that of her grandmother's – a survivor of Auschwitz. In her soul lies true strength, love and determination to get out alive, even while her family and loved ones are falling victim to the Holocaust left and right.
And of course, we can't have a page-turner without a love interest, right? Don't worry, Picoult delivers when Leo Stein enters the picture. I won't reveal how or why he's there, but he definitely provides relief in an otherwise intense novel, and satisfies those of us craving some romance.
If you're a fan of books surrounding World War II and the Holocaust, this is definitely one for you. Picoult manages to be searingly honest in her portrayal of each character, yet delicately explores what people will do in order to protect family and not repeat the mistakes of our nation's history.
Now you tell us: What books are at the top of your 2013 must-read list?

When it comes to showing their appreciation for service at eateries, New Yorkers top the list of best tippers, leaving more than 20 percent.
Following a close second are New Jerseyans while people from Arkansas are the worst, tipping only about 10 percent on average, according to a new survey by CouponCodes4U.com
"Tipping should be for excellent service, not mandatory and with the majority of consumers claiming that they would prefer a new way of paying for their eating out experiences, perhaps it is time to have a frank discussion about America's tipping culture," Mark Pearson, chairman of CouponCodes4u.com, said in a press release.

Back from Books by the Banks
Today was the Books by the Banks festival for authors from the Cincinnati region, and I spent six hours at the convention center downtown hawking my wares. In addition to a big pile of Only Superhuman, the bookstore providing merchandise for the event also had a bunch of copies of Forgotten History, a small supply of Watching the Clock, three copies of the Mere Anarchy trade paperback, and one lonely copy of Spider-Man: Drowned in Thunder — which wasn't lonely for long, since it was the first book I sold. By the end of the event, I'd sold out of Mere Anarchy as well and was down to one WtC, and I'd moved seven copies of OS and at least a few of FH. Plus a few people who didn't buy OS then and there nonetheless indicated they intended to buy it online or as an e-book. All in all, while I could've wished for better, it was a pretty decent performance considering that this was a general book festival, not specifically SF-oriented. I seem to recall that at my first BbtB, where they only had Titan: Over a Torrent Sea for sale, I didn't sell that many copies. So I'm satisfied with how this event turned out. Plus I made a couple of new contacts and set things in motion for a book signing event that will hopefully materialize fairly soon.
I'll be at Books by the Banks, October 20
Next month is shaping up to be busy for me, as we close in on the release date for Only Superhuman. On October 20, the weekend after New York Comic-Con, I'll be a guest at the Books by the Banks festival back here in Cincinnati, at the Duke Energy Convention Center downtown. It runs from 10 AM to 4 PM. I'll be there to promote and sell Only Superhuman, of course, but I'm hoping I'll have some of my Star Trek books available for sale too. Click the link above for details on the festival.

OTRS-ITSM 2.0 Moves Further to ITIL
The IT Service management module of the Open Ticket Request System (OTRS) adopts another ITIL process in version 2.0: change management.
Up to now, the OTRS-ITSM software collection supported the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes incident management, problem management, service asset and configuration management (CMDB/CMS), request fulfillment management, knowledge management and service level management.

The ITSM module, which requires an OTRS installation, is available for download along with the other OTRS packages as an OPM file on the OTRS AG website.
OTRS is free software under the GNU Affero General Public License that stipulates that even service programs must provide their users open source even if they aren't specifically used on the desktop. Since 2007, OTRS has made its service management via ticketing available to firms that conform with ITIL.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We had the worst experience with our daughter in this school. Very disappointed with the school leadership. We left sad and frustrated
I am not Catholic, not even religious, not really a fan of private schools ... I am just a parent who believes in the value of a quality education, reasonable prices, cultural diversity and fun extracurricular activities. St. Jerome delivers all of these qualities quite effectively.
At St. Jerome School, our three children s teachers have been kind, enthusiastic and responsive to each child s needs. Their St. Jerome education prepared our older children well for high school: they were accepted into Loyola High School and Notre Dame High School, as well as Bishop Montgomery High School. Being a small school, St. Jerome is also a place where a child doesn t need to be a super athlete to participate in the sport of their choice. Our children have run track and played basketball, volleyball, softball and football. Thanks to great parent coaches, some of these teams even won CYO championships. Our youngest child is now in the third grade, with the same teacher our older two had. We had a choice, and we chose St. Jerome again.
With 3 children having attended different schools I have come to appreciate that there is no perfect school. My daughter transferred to St. Jerome in 5th grade and I regret that my older two did not attend this school. The campus is very large, the technology is state of the art and integrated into the daily curriculum, the extra curricular activities cover the spectrum of arts, school newspaper, community service, student council, sports and more. The sports program is competitive yet it teaches children the values of sportsmanship. Academically the children are will prepared for high school. What I like most is the accessibility of the faculty, staff, principal and the pastor. The new hall and gym is a real 'gem' in this community! St. Jerome offers a diverse, safe, challenging and spiritual environment which develops the students as a whole person.
Dedicated teachers and a great student body.
I love St. Jerome for a number of reasons. Top among those reasons are that this is a Faith based education with a true commitment to technology... preparing our children for a very competitive academic environment as they move into High School and beyond. Wonderful involved parents and lots of opportunity for involvement!
Spiritual growth is an integral part of the development of the whole child in an academically strong atmosphere where each child is values as and individual and the family is truly a partner in the education and the formation of values. Children are prepared to the challenges they are sure to face in a world that values profit over people.
It is the Best school!!!!! You get a quality high-school preparation education with a strong, Faith based education.....what more could you ask for, The Teachers, Staff, and Community are great, not to mention the students.
St. Jerome's School in Westchester a great place for kids to grow and be educated...
Everything the parent stated above is true, so that parent is not alone in their feelings regarding this school. Most of the teachers put on the happy face for the parents, but really do not seem to have any special interest in the children. They don't stay late to offer help and if they do offer help to tutor the students, they charge, which they should not do on the school campus. Though aesthetically pleasing, St. Jerome has a lot of internal issues they need to improve on. As the school's student body has changed, so have the attitudes of the teachers, not always in a positive way. If their administration sincerely cares about the children and parents, then they would start with a new group of middle school teachers, and, yes, the math curriculum has room for improvement. Please take notes that most of the other comments are not recent.
I pained over my choice for elementary school and ultimately made my decision based on proximity to my home. My son is in his first year at St. Jerome. I am so impressed at how much he has learned and it's only December! He came to the school with strong preparation from preschool and home but I noticed a striking improvement even in the first month. His writing is impressive and he is reading and spelling quite well for his age of 5. He has gained confidence and has many friends. The Kinder teacher Mrs. McGee is excellent and there is alot of parent involvement. i know other children who are in Notre Dame Academy, St. Tim's Visitation and I am very happy with my decision.
I am a fairly new parent to St. Jerome. I transferred my children and they are very happy there. My children are striving and the the teachers have helped my child develop his self-esteem. I believe their curriculum prepares the children well for high school. They are a little weak in the math area, but SJ has adopted a new program to help boost scores up in this area. The teachers are dedicated and well prepared. They genuinely care about the students. Fabulous first grade teacher! My child left first grade prepared for third grade.
My son has attended St. Jerome for the past three years from grade 5 - 7 and he will finish 8th grade in June 2009. Our experience has been both good and bad. The good things are: small in overall size, lots of extracurricular activities, and very involved parents (some more than others). The bad things are: extremely punitive environment, lots of favoritism, very cliquish among both parents and children. Also, they say they offer Spanish; however, the kids rarely have any Spanish instruction, therefore, they learn little to nothing. According to parents of St. Jerome graduates, many of the kids, who have matriculated to Loyola High School or other academically challenging high schools, find that they are not well-prepared for math and science, so they struggle. If I could do it again, I don't think I'd select St. Jerome.
This school was a wonderful experience for both of my children. The academic program is strong and expectations are high. The sports program is fabulous, including even the lower grade levels. Parents are actively involved. The student body is diverse, giving the students an opportunity to interact with students from different backgrounds.
I love this school. It is the best school ever. The teachers are nice and the academic program teaches you some high school level things.
I went to this school from K-8 and found I received a wonderful education. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and the principal was superb! I also appreciated the religious education I also received and cherish all memories from this school (and church).
The school meets the educational needs of my child. It offers a challenging curriculem includig technology in most core areas. The religious education was the initial attraction but St. Jerome offers so much more.
When I went to this school, I loved it. The teachers were amazing - and extrememly helpfull and caring.
Incredibly archaic school teaching system. This school seems to think all children are ADHD, especially if they have any kind of energy. Boys are not welcome here. Most of the kids are not Catholic, skewing the ability to have a true Catholic education. One child left the school without supervision and was found two blocks away by his parents in a public fast food restaurant. They are only interested in getting money, and not in providing exceptional education to these childern. There are very few sports and outside activities, and the church does not support the ventures of the school. This place needs a serious overhaul in staff. Pathetic place for everyone.
St. Jerome is a wonderful community that provides for a nurturing environment for its students. Its programs include art, music, football, volleyball, basketball, and track. Grades 1 - 6 have computers, science, music and Spanish as a part of their regular curriculum. Each student is taught respect and responsibility through positive reinforcement. Parents are very involved in school activities and decision-making committees. The children are happy and challenged in a caring environment.

Sherman Alexie is well-known as a great Native American writer. But let us please drop the labels and break it down to one essential truth: Sherman Alexie is a great writer. Period.
While his stark works focus mainly on life on the Spokane Indian reservation, they tap into universal themes of poverty and oppression, love and loss, and hope and hopelessness (often simultaneously), to which anyone regardless of race can relate — all the while laced with Alexie's sharp wit and clever pop-culture references. He has the rare ability to compel you to laugh with his characters while you cry for them.
Alexie's writings — poems, short stories, novels — have won him the National Book Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award, the American Book Award and many more, while his collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven was the basis for the 1998 feature film Smoke Signals, a Sundance darling.
The 47-year-old writer talked to the Miami Herald in advance of his appearance at the Miami Book Fair International on Tuesday.
Q: The first thing that strikes people about your writing is how real it reads, like you're simply recounting facts. Did that voice flow out of you easily when you first started writing?
A: Yeah, it's still pretty much the same sort of voice. Also, I've never really been all that interested in ornate writing or reading ornate literature so I think that simplicity was always appealing to me as a reader and then as a writer. Give me Hemingway and Dickinson over Whitman and Faulkner.
Q: You've said that your work was an autobiography not of details but of the soul. But weren't most of the details true?
A: Well, yeah, a thing can be true, but then when you change everything around it, it changes identity. My dog got shot — that's a real event. But once you change everything around it, that also becomes just another form of fiction. Without the connecting tissue, any fact is still fiction.
Q: You've talked about how you were hailed by The New York Times as "one of the major lyric voices of our time" while you were still sleeping in a U.S. Army surplus bed in the basement of your family's house. How long did that epic divide last?
A: Oh. Until about 10 years in, I think.
Q: Did it remain as strange as it seemed from the start?
A: It became more humorous. It became a way of staying sane — sane and modest as well. With the kind of career I have, it'd be pretty easy to become a total a------. I've seen it! [laughs] I'm a really good writer, but that doesn't make me a really good human being. Those are often mutually exclusive abilities.
Q: When you read that New York Times review, did it make you feel fraudulent at first?
A: Uh, it certainly made it feel very premature. I was like, "Really!?!? I don't know about that!" How about maybe or potentially will become one of the major lyric voices of our time? It didn't feel fraudulent — it just felt like it couldn't be true, which is different.
Q: Did it frighten you?
A: That's a lot of pressure to put on a kid.
Q: Were other reviews that followed just as glowing?
A: You know, I've probably had 60 percent glowing during my career. That's a good percentage. You don't want universal [positive reviews] — I've also been hammered, which is good.
Q: How did the first negative review make you feel?
A: Oh, you want to crawl into a corner and die. But once I got out of the corner and realized I hadn't died, I felt hungry. So I had some crackers. The thing that has really helped with all of that is having a competitive sports background, being a jock. Because you're always gonna run into somebody who's better. You're always gonna get your ass kicked by somebody. You're eventually going to lose, and every once in awhile, you're going to lose big. So then you get up and play the next game.
Q: Have you stopped feeling the pressure you felt after that first review or does that still drive you today?
A: [Laughs] You know, when I talk to aspiring writers, and they talk about this and that, they're really quite unaware. I mean, it's intense. I mean, you want your book reviewed in The New York Times Book Review. You want your book covered. But then you have to read it. I get my job reviews in front of millions of people. So no, the pressure never changes.
Q: The Washington Post wrote that your works are "healing ancient wounds." Do you get tired of the implication that you're the literary savior of Native Americans?
A: I refuse to accept that anybody thinks of me that way. [Long pause] I am the most famous Indian writer around that's probably ever been. And with that comes a lot of cultural and racial — real and imagined — ideas, expectations and pressures.
Q: Your writing is peppered with tales of "drunk Indians," and at times you've been criticized for that. How did you avoid becoming one yourself?
A: Well, I am one. I've been sober for 20 years. So I didn't avoid it. You know, that's one of the things when people talk about alcoholism in my work that they will conveniently omit: I am a recovering alcoholic. So when I write about it, I'm writing about myself and my own demons. My father died of alcoholism 10 years ago, so I'm writing a very, very personal story. And that said, when I go into any crowd and ask people who are alcoholic or who are closely related to an alcoholic to raise their hand, it's three-quarters of everybody. Addiction is a human problem. I'm just writing about the Indian version of it. Hemingway wrote about the white-guy version of it.
Q: Your film Smoke Signals was well-received. Do you have any other film work coming up?
A: No, that's a different world now. It's impossible to get a movie made, because the sources of money for an independent filmmaker don't exist anymore. Hollywood stopped making independent-minded films. They pushed it out into the margins. And then it pushed us brown independents even farther out into the margins. Try to make a movie? I'm on Pluto.
Q: Maybe you could throw some car chases in there or something.
A: I've tried. The cars keep breaking down [laughs]. In the Indian world, every car chase turns into a footrace.

[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: Get Defensive
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As the government shutdown continues without a resolution in sight, TheStreet's Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt what investors should do in the current environment.
According to Cramer, some people just don't care what happens with the U.S. debt and wouldn't mind a default. Those people seem to think that's the price we need to pay and seem to have control of the House of Representatives, he added.
The political back-and-forth can wreak havoc on individual investors, but there's an alternative. Cramer, one of the few who has been against the government shutting down from the beginning, said investors could look to defensive sectors to weather the storm.
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) can act as a rubric for what investors should be looking for in stocks, he said. Companies that are flush with cash and have no dependency on credit markets are the ones to be in when there's a risk of a default.Cramer concluded that investors should buy calls to limit risk and use stops to limit losses. This way, investors can risk less, while still having upside potential. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

The Conference on Disarmament today continued consideration of its draft annual report which will be presented to the sixty-seventh session of the United Nations General Assembly when it opens on 18 September 2012 in New York.
The President of the Conference, Ambassador Hellmut Hoffmann of Germany, said today would be a brief formal plenary after which Member States would meet in informal plenary to discuss proposed amendments to the draft annual report. There were major areas in the draft report that required collective effort, including how to reflect the messages to the Conference of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and of other dignitaries, how to reflect proposals made to improve the effective functioning of the Conference, and how to refer to the Conference's failure to adopt a programme of work. Members had to balance praise for the potential role the Conference could play in disarmament with appropriate self-criticism in view of its long-running failure to fulfil its mandate.
Concerning the draft annual report of the Conference to the General Assembly,
speakers said that they should not seek to obscure the fact of the Conference's failure in 2012 as to do so would not help the Conference, but instead further undermine its credibility. Another speaker said the 2012 session had continued to witness another year of stagnation with no tangible results, thus the tone of the report should not be the same as the report of the 2011 session, rather it should more clearly articulate and convey concerns about the Conference, both from inside the Palais des Nations and outside. Another speaker said it actually found the report too 'rosy', but was aware that others found it too 'gloomy'. Several speakers agreed that they understood the draft report had included the opinions of all delegations in order to best achieve consensus.
The previous annual report of the Conference on Disarmament, on its 2011 session, can be accessed here: CD/1926.
Speaking in today's plenary discussion were Israel, Syria, speaking on behalf of the Group of 21, Switzerland, Spain, Malaysia, Australia, Ireland, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, New Zealand, United States, Pakistan and Canada.
The Conference on Disarmament will next meet in public on Tuesday, 11 September at 10 a.m. when it is scheduled to adopt the annual report. The third and last part of the 2012 session of the Conference will conclude on 14 September.
Statement by President of the Conference
Ambassador HELLMUT HOFFMANN of Germany, President of the Conference on Disarmament, opened the meeting and said today would be a brief formal plenary after which Member States would meet in private, in informal plenary, to discuss amendments to the draft annual report which was to be presented to the General Assembly. There were four major areas in the draft report that required collective effort: first, the way the message of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to the Conference on Disarmament was to be reflected in the report; second, the way the messages of other dignitaries to the Conference were to be reflected; third, how to reflect proposals made to improve the effective functioning of the Conference. Those three items were in many ways inter-related: how to balance praise for the potential role the Conference could play in disarmament, with appropriate self-criticism in view of its long-running failure to fulfil its mandate. The President said that the fourth major sticking point was how to refer to the failure to adopt the draft programme of work submitted by the Egyptian Presidency (CD/1933/Rev.1), how to reflect the manner in which it was handled in plenary, and how the issue of the programme of work in general was handled during the session.
Israel said it valued the Conference on Disarmament which in the past had had an important impact on peace and security in the world. Israel was confident that given improvements in geo-political circumstances the Conference would continue to play a significant role, and highlighted that the rule of consensus played a vital role in the preservation of States' confidence. Israel's own region, the Middle East, was undergoing tremendous changes. While there were hopes that stability would finally find its way to regional countries, guarantees could not be given that in the short, medium, and even long term, radicalization and extremism would not prevail. Taken in conjunction with habitual lack of respect, by some regional partners, of obligations undertaken in the disarmament and non-proliferation field, it was no wonder that Israel adopted a cautious approach. It must be emphasized that such changes in the region had lessened neither the instability nor the volatility of the region. Taken together with non-compliance with treaties and persistent clandestine programmes for the acquisition and development of weapons of mass destruction in contravention of international obligations and Security Council and International Atomic Energy Agency resolutions, as well as hostile policies emanating from the non-recognition of Israel's right to exist, those cast a dark shadow indeed. Prospects for the Conference's ability to engage in meaningful negotiations would improve if States adopted a more flexible attitude towards issues other than the four core issues, such as negotiating a ban on the transfer of armaments to terrorists and taking up the threat of ManPads, both of which would be practical steps that tied in closely to the regional challenges Israel faced.
Syria, speaking on behalf of the Group of 21, took the floor to inform the Conference that the Group of 21 had submitted four working papers for the purposes of the annual report that reflected the Group's common positions on the following issues: nuclear disarmament (CD/1938), the work of the Conference (CD/1939), negative security assurances (CD/1940), and the prevention of an arms race in outer space (CD/1941). The Group of 21 hoped that the papers would be listed under the relevant headings of the report. The Group had already put forward in plenary its positions on the work of the Conference and on nuclear disarmament. In the interest of time the Group had decided not to deliver statements on negative security assurances and the prevention of an arms race in outer space at this time, as its position was reflected in CD/1940 and CD/1941 respectively.
*The documents referenced are not yet publicly available.
Switzerland said the Conference was confronting a major crisis: the deadlock afflicting it must be broken and the Conference must fulfil the role assigned to it. With regard to the draft report, Switzerland expressed its appreciation to the Presidency of Germany for producing the draft text, and its hope that it would be swiftly adopted. It was particularly vital that the report reflected the fact that the Conference was in an impasse and that no true progress had been made during the past year to find a way out of that impasse. The draft did represent a balance between the existing opinions in the forum and a compromise that should be acceptable to all. Adopting the draft would also avoid the Conference embarking on a painful process of drafting a new report, as the outcome of that would be unpredictable.
Spain said it had not taken the floor during the last session in order to be part of the consensus so often spoken about in the Conference, and in order to provide tacit support to the draft text, which reflected all sensitivities as far as possible. Spain understood the longing of some delegations to perfect the text but was concerned that attempts to tamper with the delicate balance of the draft may not have positive results.
Malaysia appreciated the President's efforts in presenting the draft report in a transparent and efficient manner and said the draft was a balanced document which was factual and reflective of the negotiations and work of the Conference and provided a good basis for discussions. After studying the draft report Malaysia proposed some additional text which it felt would provide further clarity to the report and said it would elaborate on its proposals during the informal plenary.
Australia said that while the Conference was still in formal plenary mode it wished to place some points on the record. The draft report on the conduct and state of the Conference during its 2012 session was adequate and Australia could join consensus on it. Some of the proposed amendments circulated so far did however suggest there was room for technical polish to the draft. Members should not seek to obscure the fact of the Conference's failure in 2012. To do so would not help the Conference, but instead further undermine its credibility.
Ireland commented that the draft report was a fair and objective document that it hoped the Conference could adopt by consensus.
United Kingdom also commented that the draft report was factual, and while the United Kingdom may have written something different just as every delegation would have given the opportunity, it would be able to join consensus.
Republic of Korea said the draft report was both factual and well-balanced. The 2012 session had continued to witness another year of stagnation with no tangible results. Thus the tone of the report should not be the same as the report of the 2011 session, rather it should more clearly articulate and convey concerns about the Conference, both from inside the Palais des Nations and outside.
New Zealand said that drafting the report was no easy task and it commended the President for his work so far. However, the report could have gone further and given a greater indication of the predicament the Conference was in. New Zealand did understand that the draft report had included the opinions of all delegations in order to best achieve consensus, and New Zealand would join that consensus.
United States said it had reviewed the draft report and concluded that it met its standards. It was factual and met the concerns of members. The United States would join consensus and strongly urged colleagues to join them, even today in the formal plenary. There were other areas of work that the Conference could better spend its time on that had a higher priority for Member States.
Pakistan said the draft report was a good start but there was a lot of room for improvement. Pakistan had submitted a number of amendments which they would push for inclusion during the informal plenary.
Canada said for the record that it could accept that draft report as it stood. It actually found the report too 'rosy', but was aware others found it too 'gloomy'. However it was an adequate reflection of the 2012 session. Canada hoped that the essence of the balance the President had sought to strike in the report would be maintained during the informal negotiations on it.
The President of the Conference addressed the Conference to note the support for the draft report and the many amendments now on the table. Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, he said, and he hoped consensus would be achieved. The President ended the formal plenary and asked delegates to continue the meeting in informal mode to discuss the proposed amendments.

Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce and North Dakota Winter Show boards have decided to consolidate their staffs and name Winter Show Manager Dawn Riley executive vice president of the Chamber.
The two groups notified members of the agreement in an email message sent late Tuesday morning.
Tuesday Riley said she learned of the decision to consolidate Monday.
Terry Didier, owner of Didier's Ag Center in Sanborn, reported a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train blocking the exits in the city at 10:33 a.m. Tuesday, like he does almost every day when a train blocks off the city. Over an hour later, the Barnes County Commission decided to get tough with BNSF over the Sanborn situation after a scheduled discussion at a county commission meeting.
The county approved overtime for the Sheriff's Office to monitor the trains and cite the engineers who park longer than state law allows. The office will also look into video surveillance.
Wondering what topic to write about this week, I found myself sitting around a campfire at a friend's lake cabin Friday night. As the twelve of us visited and bounced from topic to topic, the mood was very laid back, as you would expect from a weekend at the cabin. And then one person's name was brought up, causing the calm, laid back chatter to suddenly turn serious and defensive.
That name was LeBron James.
Valley City State University honored its Diamond Level, Regents Level and Legacy Society donors Monday in a recognition luncheon at Sabir's Dining and Lounge.
About 50 people attended the luncheon and program presented by the VCSU Foundation.
Recognized at the Diamond Level, for $100,000 to $249,000 were Dacotah Bank, Robert and Jan Ingstad and Ralph and Carolyn Kolstoe.
The Valley City School Board discussed how and why the district failed to meet the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act and how they were going to work to achieve them in the future at Monday's regular board meeting.
Mild temperatures and minimal precipitation made for perfect camp weather last week when the Valley City Service Unit Girl Scouts enjoyed two evenings at Camp Tonweya-Tiayta, which means "Scouts Home," located near the Valley City National Fish Hatchery.
Troop leader Kirsten Dockter explained that some camps are affiliated through their headquarters, Girl Scouts Dakota Horizons, but this one was held by the local troop leaders.
Special to the Times-Record
First Community Credit Union (FCCU) recently held fundraisers to raise money for Relay for Life, totaling more than $12,000. FCCU has chosen a different organization for each quarter to raise money and awareness for these organizations.
All of FCCU's 14 branches sold frozen Pizza Corner pizzas in which $2,800 was raised for Relay for Life, with FCCU's Wishek branch selling the most pizzas at 350. Proceeds collected from employees wearing jeans on designated days were also donated to Relay for Life and luminaries were sold at the branches.
Vicki Rosenau, tobacco coordinator for the City-County Health District, backs a proposed North Dakota ballot initiative to ban smoking in all indoor workplaces, including bars, a step that the state Legislature has refused to take since lawmakers approved broad smoking restrictions seven years ago.
The measure, which a group called Smoke-Free North Dakota submitted to Secretary of State Al Jaeger on Wednesday, would cover "e-cigarettes," which produce an odorless, nicotine-laced vapor that's similar to tobacco smoke.
If Valley City seemed a bit more populated this weekend, it's probably because visitors and high school reunion-goers joined Valley City residents as they soaked up at this weekend's annual Rally in the Valley.
The weather was pleasant but windy at times for the celebration hosted by the Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce. The weekend was jam packed with activities for all ages in Valley City.
The Valley City Babe Ruth baseball team didn't necessarily play badly in its final game of the annual Pizza Corner Classic.
The problem in its 10-0 loss to Steele afternoon was that a few unlucky breaks added up and left the team with a 6th place finish in its own tournament.
The two-day tournament wrapped up Sunday at Charlie Brown Memorial Field and featured teams from southwestern North Dakota.
"We had a snowball effect," said coach Lance Lukes. "We made a mistake, we made another one after that, and it led to a big inning for them."

MEDICAL LAKE, Wash. -- A Friday fundraiser is collecting money for an Oklahoma family devastated by the tornado in Moore.
Emily Strickland, 8, was one of the kids who died when the tornado smashed into Plaza Towers Elementary School. Strickland's uncle, Dan, lives in Medical Lake, WA.
A spaghetti feed is scheduled for Friday, May 24th to benefit the Strickland family. The fundraiser will be held at Picnic Pines in Medical Lake. The event starts at noon.
Dan Strickland learned Tuesday that the tornado killed his niece on Monday.
Emily lived in Moore with her mother and sister according to Dan. He said Emily looked forward to learning how to swim from him.
"She was too young for this, she didn't even get to live life," said Dan. "She was an outgoing, fun little kid, you know, loved unicorns."
He told KREM 2 News that his other niece, Luci, was injured and hospitalized.
Three businesses in Medical Lake will also accept donations for the Strickland family. You can donate at the Wagon Wheel, Denny's, and Picnic Pines. Donations can also be made online by clicking here.

Georgia State's football team will hold a scrimmage, instead of a Spring Game, this year for three reasons:
1. The Georgia Dome is booked the last two weeks of March because of the NCAA Tournament regional.
2. The team is in the midst of the first of two seven-week conditioning programs. The second will begin after spring practices conclude on March 30. Coach Bill Curry said he wanted to contain the spring practices to March to allow the players to go through the conditioning programs, as well as to give the players time to study for finals in late April.
3. Lastly, Curry said he wants his team to get as many practices in as possible before the join the CAA. "…Which this team needs desperately as we get ready to play in the best FCS conference in the country," he said. The Panthers went 3-8 last season.
The scrimmage will be at the team's practice facility on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on March 24. The team held a Blue-White scrimmage last year at the Georgia Dome. Curry elected to hold a practice that will be open to the public this year.
Spring practice will begin on Tuesday, March 6.
In other notes, the football coaches were visited by Marc Trestman, head coach of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes, on Tuesday. The former NFL assistant coach and coordinator has led the Alouettes to two Grey Cup Championships and other appearance in the finals.
Curry said Trestman shared his ideas on play-action, leadership, and defenses, among other things.

Thanks, Doug! I appreciate your work.
I'm not buying it. Every player across America has finals. Every player needs conditioning. We're playing CAA teams, not in the SEC. None of those excuses pass the smell test. The truth is welcome anytime.

Doug, the Spring game isn't only about the team. This is an opportunity for newbies and fence-sitters to see our guys hit and maybe, just maybe, 100 of them will consider purchasing season tickets. 3,000+ people found it worthwhile last year and it means a lot to them. The back-ups and recruits want a chance to earn a spot. The coaches need to see new schemes in action. Wait a minute, I just thought of something. This is brilliant! Levick is doing this to draw media attention to GSU. She'll announce a Spring Game at the Dome in about a week. That has to be it.
February 16th, 2012
7:32 pm
Was this in March the previous two years? Has Curry ever NOT had a Spring Game in any of the years that he has been coaching? Also, wouldn't as close to a game day environment better prepare the team for the CAA? It is funny how the players were so enthusiastic about hosting this on a Thursday last year…
Thanks for the coverage Doug, but this is a reactionary response full of excuses and I don't really buy it.
February 16th, 2012
7:34 pm
As a Southern fan, our spring game is a great fan event. Its true for a lot of schools. Really its an excuse to talegate and watch the only football game around.I'm sorry to hear y'all are not getting one(im serious). I disagree with Doug on this.

Very disappointed in this news. There were over 3,000 at the Dome last year. Only 200, TOPS, could maybe stand along the practice field lines for this. Are we installing bleachers?
Also Doug, ask the AD what's the deal with our talks with C-USA and where we stand in the schemes of the "Alliance". We know she knows things. It's like busting through the Iron Curtain for info.

I hope we have over 3000 come to this spring practice just to show the athletics dept. how ridiculous this is. Where in the world are we going to park, tailgate, stand, and sit during this event?

I hope we have over 3000 come to this spring practice just to prove how bad of decision this is. Where in the world are we going to park, tailgate, stand, and sit during this event?

Doesn't suprise me one bit. Levick is doing everything she can to undermine the program. At least we still have the tradition of losing, having our games rescheduled, and printing stadium cups and Tshirts that are wrong.
February 16th, 2012
8:11 pm
So, what's the reason for the Georgia Dome not being able to be used all of April. I'm tired of these excuses. Levick just ruining what we have worked so hard to build.
February 16th, 2012
8:17 pm
Hey this makes sense…. They are canceling becuase of spring commencement….oh wait, they canceled that too. Looks like the only thing not cancelled is begging for money and losing. Listen closely Cheryl, et al.. This is absolutely the last straw for me. Either you step up and show me that you are doing things to build GSU into something to be proud of or I will take my hard earned money elsewhere.

@FunkyColdMedina Thanks. Starting to think the naysayers were right. We just cannot get anything right.
This coming from a guy who has not missed a home game and been to several away games including one in Texas.
February 16th, 2012
8:31 pm
Hey just go ahead and pack up and LEAVE…..you have such a sour puss attitude. Do all of the real GSU fans a favor. Change disappointed to DISAPPEAR
February 16th, 2012

@ Disappointed I'm with you man. GSU2 is a loser. Have fun in the septic tank. This is a train wreck.
February 16th, 2012
9:12 pm
Don't buy any of the lame excuses. This is absolutely unacceptable.. Quite frankly I'm tired of Levick's style of management. Furthermore, if Curry and staff mismanage this team as they did last year, they can all get out of town. Insane!

Do you know how expensive it is to rent the Dome? That's the real reason for no spring game.
February 16th, 2012
10:37 pm
Okay Bill… Why don't you give up some of your salary since you DID NOT EARN it last year?
February 16th, 2012
10:41 pm
Yeah Bill…. BLOWN out by Jax St. ODU, Murray St? Lost to UTSA, UWA and friggin St Francis. LOL the St. Francis coach got a huge job offer because of his beatdown of your team!! We need more DAWGS Bill. Hopefully Pollard is working the hell out of those kids because they sucked last year!
February 16th, 2012
10:48 pm
Pollard is working those kids to death, and for good reason.

I support our Panthers but this administration is making it very difficult.
February 16th, 2012
10:59 pm
There is no way I am sitting on bleachers in the ghetto watching practice while my car is put up on blocks. Mark Becker is a pathetic excuse for a leader. It's bad enough he wants to open the University to all the needy riff raff in the south(i.e. strategic plan) but if you are going to destroy the school at least let it have a decent athletic program (i.e. LSU)
February 16th, 2012
11:12 pm
@GSWho…Seriously, you are scared of going and parking near the practice field, hahahaha! Parking near the dome is a million times worse. Also, if you see the strategic plan as an open arms policy to "all the needy riff raff in the south" then your perspective of the strategic plan is pretty skewed.
I am actually glad that this and other issues have riled our fans up, whether their demands and views are realistic or not. The reason being is that it shows that we have fans who actually care, a lot! I hope that we stay non-complacent because the complacent attitude is what drove GSU sports for almost its entire existence.
February 16th, 2012
11:17 pm
Just pulled my season tickets and donation to PAC. Hopefully they bring back the spring game next year and I'll bring back my funding. Their loss.
February 16th, 2012
11:33 pm
GSUFootball2012, good to see your money go. I doubt that it really did, but if your investment in our athletics program is going to get pulled because of one decision like this then your money was not worth the schools trouble.
Personally, I like the idea of us showing up in masses to watch this spring game. If over 500 people show up, what will that show the school? It will probably be the most united thing ever done by the fans at GSU. We will be packed in and the players will see that they have full support. To me, that sounds like the most powerful thing that can be done.
February 16th, 2012
11:35 pm
Great job tracking this down Doug,
One more question, Spring Practice ends Friday March 30th. Did they think it would be too disruptive to shift Spring Practice by 6 days and have the Spring Game Thursday April 5th?
Again thanks Doug
February 17th, 2012
12:02 am
People saying things like "good to see your money go" make me laugh. I guess GSU football is well off enough that they don't need every dollar they can get.
Also, if more than 500 people show up to the spring "scrimmage", the police and fire marshalls will just kick the additional fans out. Then, it's a complete waste to show up to the event. What a joke.
February 17th, 2012
12:12 am
Please… please… take pictures of this spring game. i can't wait to see them.
February 17th, 2012
2:18 am
Doug with all due respect, it isn't your job or place to be the one who puts this information out. It is our athletic department who owes all of us an explanation.
April does work. And your statement that a spring scrimmage game will not do anything to help the team in August is the most idiotic statement.
I no longer respect you as a writer.
Who is feeding you this info? Our inept marketing department? Tiffany Daniels? Mike Holmes? John Portland? Development staff?
February 17th, 2012
8:27 am
Doug, Your coverage is great and much appreciated. Our AD sucks and without you we would know almost nothing. Keep doing your thing and let the haters hate.
February 17th, 2012
9:16 am
Easter is on April 8th. I'll give them a pass for that weekend.
April 14th? April 21st? April 28th? Anyone? I find it interesting that schools like UGA, GT, Georgia Southern all still manage to somehow squeeze in spring games despite the same conditions (exams, practice schedules, holidays, etc.) yet we can't.
February 17th, 2012
10:11 am
Doug, what do you think would help GSU this year with their football program?
February 17th, 2012
10:17 am
Thanks Doug. Disappointing to not have a spring game, but if it makes us better in the fall then I can support that. Better communication of this would go a long way though IMO
February 17th, 2012
10:20 am
Fire our AD! No spring game is a bunch of crap and the excuses they give us are crap too.
Our football team needs a new direction because all I see is DISAPPOINTMENT for the future.
Thanks for the coverage DOUG!
February 17th, 2012

I don't care about the spring game. I just hope they make it through the season without getting someone killed. seriously!

Phosphorus (Phosphate)
Phosphorus is a mineral the body uses to digest protein and sugars; it also helps the body absorb calcium. Some of the phosphorus in the body exists as a charged particle (ion) called phosphate.
People who do not have enough phosphorus in their bodies may lose weight, feel weak, and have growth problems (particularly bone growth).
Foods high in phosphorus include dairy products (such as milk and cheese), meat, egg yolks, whole grains, peas, and nuts. People who drink large amounts of alcohol often have low phosphorus levels.

Dell Computer Support
Hence, you should do it properly to avoid encountering Dell computer problems during the procedure. These supports provide you the solution of your problems. Since Dell is so committed to the enterprise now, Dell dedicated server owners should have better access to support when problems arise. If the problem persists after you first turn on the laptop, remove the plastic clip, and place it on pin 1 and pin 2 for as long as an hour and repeat the next procedure. If you are clever enough to presume the complexity of a problem, you might try the fixed rate service (Geeks). It will help you easily fix your wireless connection problems.
Considering this, we have designed this free Dell computer support guide that walks you through the procedure step-by-step to help you restore your Dell computer to factory settings. There are many other online supports available in the internet. Dell features global support and aims to reduce the level of IT complexity through their dedicated Dell Services team. If you need help to do the reset, contact Dell technical support. Online support is $49/hr. In store support is $29/hr, while in home/office support is $129/hr.
Dell is a top brand for computers and laptops these days yet arguably they haven't really been so successful in the tablet and Smartphone industry. Here is a Dell support guide to help you fix the BIOS password problem in your Dell laptop. Needless to say, you need immediate help to fix them and get your Dell laptop back on the wireless network. Dell diagnostics can be used on desktops, laptops, or servers. Although the diagnostics package is specific to the series of computer, for example the server package will not be able to run tests against a laptop. Dell desktop and laptops are the quality-oriented machines, which are also expensive. More Places to Look: If you still haven't found the fee laptop for students you need, there are some other sources you may wish to consider. You may have to go out and actively search to get a computer this way, but it can work, even if you are going to college.
If want to restore your computer using the Dell System Recovery disk, make sure that you have it. Billions of customers of Dell are using this online support system. You can also choose from a variety of operating systems including Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit including Hyper-V, Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and even VMware vSphere. Additional Tips: Take help of your Dell system user guide if you feel stuck anywhere during the procedure. One drawback of hourly rate is the complication assumption if the OS system is hardly infected by root kits or some spyware, sometimes it would take half a day to clean up your system, and that's already more than 250$. When you first purchased your Dell system it most likely included a CD with the diagnostics program on it.
Besides, you must login as an administrator to your computer to carry out this procedure. When you face any problem with your computer, then you need log on this support. Dedicated servers are required if you want to create an intranet that hundreds of computers will access. Instructions: Before you begin, grab your original Dell computer support manual (also known as System User Guide). Computer repair prices in a computer repair shop may vary from 30 to 200 bucks. When done, you will see a message like 'successfully reset the Winsock catalog, restart your computer'.
In case the restore procedure does not go well and you face common Dell computer errors, contact a Dell computer support service. Dell has an exclusive online support for their customer around the word. Dell has an extensive support site where you can engage in live chat conversations with members of the support team or contact Dell experts through email or phone. It helps prevent unauthorized users from accessing your Dell laptop settings by turning it on. Open your web browser and visit the Dell website. If you suspect your Dell computer is having a hardware issue, it's a good idea to run the Dell diagnostics utility to check for problems.

NHM's gem and mineral collection of about 150,000 specimens is the most significant in the country, west of the Smithsonian. See More
One of the most amazing things about the events at the Natural History Museum is that they take place inside the galleries — not in adjoining banquet halls. Whether your guests are seated at the Chimpanzee Table for dinner or dine under the dinos, they will be amazed at the experience.
Most events begin in the Grand Foyer or the Rotunda and branch out as needed into the African Mammal Hall or North American Mammal Hall...or both! These rooms can be used in any number of ways, depending on your guest count and the flow of your event. You are only charged for the rooms you actually use for your event, but the remaining galleries on the first floor will remain open for your guests to enjoy. Access to Ground or Level 2 galleries may also be added to your event for an additional fee.
For a downloadable map of the gallery spaces, click here.
