In the beginning of the Twentieth Century, in Arabia, Emir Nesib of Hobeika defeats Sultan Amar of Salma after years of war between their tribes and they make a peace treaty creating "The Yellow Belt", a large no man's land that would separate their lands and would not belong to neither of them.
Further, Nesib demands the sons of Amar, Saleh and Auda, to be raised together with his children Tarik and Leyla by him in Hobeika as a guarantee of their agreement.
Fifteen years later, representatives of the Texas Oil find oil in the Yellow Belt and the modern and liberal Emir Nesib sees the opportunity to improve and modernize the life of his tribe, building hospitals and schools, and the American Company begins the exploitation of the oil field, violating the peace pact.
Nasib sends a representative to make an agreement with the fundamentalist Sultan Amar, but he does not accept the offer. Saleh decides to travel to Salma to talk to his father and kills his two companions, but he is.

2011 Guide Analysis: "One of the most ambitious non-Hollywood projects of next year, this adaptation of Hans Ruesch's 1957 novel "South of the Heart: A Novel of Modern Arabia" uses the fascinating and almost unexplored backdrop of the impact that the discovery of oil, and the ensuing power struggle to control it, had on society and religion in parts of the Middle East. The cast is great, topped by the excellent Mark Strong, veteran Banderas, "A Prophet" star Rahim, rising "Slumdog Millionaire" actress Pinto and "Four Lions" actor Riz Ahmed.
Formerly titled "Black Thirst" and currently shooting in Tunisia, Libya and Qatar, the $55 million project is helmed by French filmmaker Annaud who has demonstrated strong skill with period dramas like Russian sniper thriller "Enemy at the Gates" and the Sean Conney monk murder mystery "The Name of the Rose". Equally exciting is a script by Menno Meyjes who scripted "The Color Purple," "The Siege," "Max" and performed story work and polishes on "Empire of the Sun" and "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".
It's a major shoot, Tunisia Online reporting that more than 100 Tunisian actors, 100 technicians and 16 assistant directors are involved in the 14-week leg of the shoot in Matmata where "Star Wars," "The English Patient" and 'Raiders' were shot. A brief video interview with Annaud reveals that there will be several battle scenes and shows off various impressive desert locations in Qatar where several key scenes will be staged.
The accents will be interesting, Ahmed amusingly noting that "I'm going to play Tahar Rahim's brother. Antonio Banderas is playing our dad and Freida Pinto's playing my sister. It's all one big happy family with a French accent, an English accent, a Spanish accent and an Indian accent. We'll shoot for mid-Mediterranean somewhere."
Annaud also hints that the tone might be lighter than expected, calling it "a great, enjoyable and entertaining movie for families around the world." A U.S. distributor isn't yet locked, but distribution rights in Europe are currently split between Universal and Warner Bros. Pictures which means it's likely one of them will give the project a decent sized release States-side sometime in the second half of the year."

Tips for the ABC Diet
Hello and welcome to my tips section. I will add to this as I see fit. Feel free to send me suggestions and if I post them I will credit you for them. Hope this helps ♥
- Post about what you are doing for the diet on a Tumblr. You will gain so much positive support you won't want to fail and you'd feel bad if you ever lied to those who follow you.
- Eat vegetables and other low-calorie foods. You will be able to have 2-3 meals a day, which is a lot better than having a hamburger for lunch and calling it quits.
- Drink LOTS of water. To make yourself feel fuller at meal times, drink a sip of water between every bite and chew thoroughly. You will no longer be hungry in no time. You should drink at least two liters of water a day. *This is also great for your skin!
- When you are hungry but cannot eat, go for walks or exercise through the hunger pains. This should give you something other to think about than food, and you won't want to eat right after you have just exercised.
- Tell a friend who is in a similar situation as you or one that will not judge/worry about you. It is easier to stick to this diet if you have someone you can talk to face-to-face.
- Plan your meals a day ahead of time, it makes you less likely to binge and gives you more options.
- Drink tea. Any natural flavor (as long as it is not fruit-infused or pre-sweetened) has virtually no calories. That and green tea has been found to have many different healthful properties such as boosting metabolism and even preventing cancer. Tea is what gets me through those tough fasting days.
- Weeks 3 & 4 suck. Plan accordingly.
- If you ever have to go out to eat with family, get a salad with low-fat dressing or vinaigrette as a meal. Drink lots of water and eat the salad slowly. You can always bring the rest of it home to "save for later". If you are highly engaged in conversation, those eating with you are less likely to notice you are not eating a lot.
- Don't eat after eight. It is terrible for you metabolism.
- If you feel like your weight loss is slowing, more exercising will get it back where it needs to be.
- Don't feel afraid to switch some of the days around so it is more convenient for your schedule.
- Your weight will most likely fluctuate, so don't stress out too much, this is all part of the process.

On an inspection last month I was making my way over to the sub-area access on the side of the house. The buyer's agent was doing his visual inspection outside. He wasn't paying attention to where he was walking and walked through a section of spider web. Unfortunately he was bitten on the arm by a black widow spider. What I witnessed next was shear panic. He tore off his shirt, trying to shake out the spider, then started running for the front of the house screaming about going to the hospital. Another agent and the buyer were up front. He managed to completely terrify both because they had no idea what this screaming man with no shirt wanted. Finally they figured it out and off to the hospital they went. He did survive the bite but managed to scare everybody on the job in the process. Being aware is your first defense in any safety situation. As inspectors we are trained to be aware of our surroundings and practice safety in our inspections. Keeping yourself safe and practicing safe inspection techniques has to be on your mind every time you step on a job.
Now let's look at some basic safety tips for sub-areas. First, let's start with protective clothing. Coveralls are recommended, something more water resistant is preferred because we have no idea what we may be crawling through and often times there are health hazards present. Sewer line leaks, rodent urine or feces, dead animals, termite insecticides, asbestos, bacteria, mold, standing water or mud are just a few. A hat, gloves, eye protection and a good mask or respirator are also recommended. Paper masks aren't enough protection against some of the respiratory hazards, so a respirator with charcoal filters is highly recommended.
Second, keeping a first aid kit in your vehicle is another good practice. One with eye wash for the times you open an attic access and get insulation in your eyes. The use of an antibacterial hand sanitizer is another good habit to get into on a daily basis.
Third, if you are involved in a serious jobsite injury or get stuck in a tight spot and can't notify someone for help, does anyone know where you are working? ALWAYS leave your jobsite addresses in a place easy to find by family members or other workers. This should be a top safety priority, but a lot of inspectors don't do it. If no one knows where you are, help may not get to you in a timely manner.
Next, before entering the sub-area shine your flashlight through. If you see any eyes staring back at you, you better identify what kind of animal it is before entering. Possums, raccoons, and skunks are very nasty in close quarters, not to mention that raccoons are also the number one carrier of rabies. Then proceed all the way inside, do not stop halfway because the largest black widow spider in the sub-area is usually right over the crawl space access. To verify, crawl through, look back and see how often that spider is there. Snakes are sometimes present. The snakes I've encountered don't run away from you like the rats do. They're more curious and may come at you. Being armed with only a flashlight and camera, I've had to throw handfuls of dirt at them to get them to turn away so I could get out. O.K now we know to watch for all creatures from nature but there are plenty more hazards to overcome.
Electrical hazards need careful consideration. Exposed wiring in the framing or laying on the ground can be a shock hazard and can become deadly if any water is present. Do not enter an area with standing water. Even without the electrical hazards there may be biological hazards you don't want to come into contact with.
Structural hazards are another concern. Fires from old floor furnaces, dry rot, flooding, and excessive termite damage can compromise the structural integrity of the subarea. Last year in the Sacramento area a termite inspector was crushed to death when a concrete porch collapsed on top of him. Do not enter areas that appear unsafe. Put it in the report with the reason you could not inspect that area.
The unknown is always a factor in inspection safety. The above mentioned items are just a short list of possible hazards. By educating ourselves on good safety practices and incorporating this knowledge into safe work habits, our chances of working in the inspection trade for years to come is greatly increased. Work safe, stay safe.

text: Amarillo, Texas - Although the Tascosa boy's basketball team is undefeated, the Rebels are going to have a challenge Friday night against Abilene Cooper. Guard Darius Polley is still out with a hip injury. We still don't know the full extent of his injury right now, but what we do know is he won't be out on the court tonight with the Rebels. But the good news for Tascosa is Abilene Cooper has has their ups and downs this year.There is still plenty of talent on the Rebels bench get the job done against the Cougars. The Lady Rebels will also be up for a challenge tonight as they are coming off a fresh overtime loss to Abilene High earlier this week. A game they could have, and maybe should have won. But, things are still looking good in district for the Lady Rebels as long as they bounce back.We caught up with Tascosa Head Coach Betsy Baughman to find out what went wrong, and how they can turn things back around in their next match up."I feel like our girls did a really good job, and they tried hard. But we just got into foul trouble there at the end, and we also made a couple of critical errors down the stretch. I think our girls, we challenge them after the game, we talked about our mistakes, and talked about this is a district race, and this is what we do to move on. And I think they're ready," Baughman said.

Questionable quality
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
The shorts themselves are very nice and comfortable. I wear mine as trail and DH shorts. The back area get a little steamy from waterproof panel but not too bad. The fit is on the baggy side but I like that. Problem is with the stitching everywhere. The stitching is coming out in various areas and the inside liner is pretty fragile.
Love 'em, hope they last...
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Really digging these shorts, and they look great. Good stetch, fit, and function (maybe some unnecessary pockets, but that doesn't really bother me). I'm using these as more all-mountain than DH shorts so hopefully they'll hold up.
Cool shorts, won't last

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These shorts are great looking and comfortable. Unfortunately, they do not hold up to dh use, especially in key areas such as the waist adjustment straps. I tore both of mine off of the elastic band they attach to while riding, not crashing. Also, the four way fabric has hilariously awful abrasion resistance wise compared to other designated dh shorts. These are a killer pair of all-mountain or enduro baggy shorts, but really don't hold up to the abuse dh throws out. One last thing to note- I have the 2012 model and they may have beefed up current year offerings
Member since
I think it says these are all mountain shorts I believe they do a Drift, Race and SP247 for DH use that use corder style fabric which is heavier duty
do these shorts have a Chamois in them?
Member since

Nope, no chamois or padding. You'll need separate shorts for that.
Is the liner removable

Is the liner removable

No, the liner is not but its not like a fitted short its just sewn to the outer layer.

Mayday's Ashin guest-performs at Jolin Tsai's concert
Fans' excitement level reached a new high last Sunday when two of Taiwan's popular music sensation - rock band Mayday's vocalist Ashin and dancing diva Jolin Tsai performed together at the Taipei Arena.
Ashin blushed and kept a distance from Jolin when she wore a revealing outfit onstage, showing off her shapely figure.
"Aren't you cold?" the 37-year-old asked Jolin, and immediately offered his jacket.
The Taiwanese songstress amused the spectators when she humorously responded, "I'm used to exposing my body 'to the public'."
Despite having just completed a two-day Mayday concert over the weekend, Ashin still travelled from Kaohsiung to Taipei straight after the end of his band's concert on Sunday night.
Ashin jokingly expressed he needed to "repay his debt" to Jolin as the latter was Mayday's special guest at their Taiwan concert during April this year.
The 32-year-old hardworking singer dislocated her spine last Friday when she was rehearsing a complex inverse pole dance for her upcoming concert. She fell headfirst from one metre above ground and currently still suffers from muscle spasms.
Even though her fingers and left leg are feeling numb and weak, Jolin still carried on with her performance. After the end of Jolin's tour concert, she reportedly needs to visit the doctor two to three times a week in order to treat her dislocated spine.

GARRISON, N.Y., (UPI) — Thousands of people have taken advantage of a Facebook feature that allows people to register to become organ and tissue donors, a U.S. bioethics organization says.
Facebook introduced the feature in May, enabling people to state their wishes to become donors in an attempt to reduce the long waiting lists for organs and tissue, The Hastings Center in New York said.
"By the end of the day of the announcement, 6,000 people had enrolled through 22 state registries," Hastings officials wrote on the organization's Bioethics Forum blog.
In California alone, they said, 3,900 people signed up, compared with 70 on a typical day.
After two weeks the rate of registration returned to previous levels, they said, but suggested strategies for using the full potential of social media to achieve a sustained increase in registration.
"State registries could include social sharing on their sites, so that once a person joins the registry, he or she has the option to share this information via Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks which should drive awareness among friends and family," Hastings officials wrote.
Social media companies could allow donor registries to advertise at no cost, they suggested.
"Facebook has challenged other technology companies to show corporate leadership and has demonstrated the power of social media to encourage altruism," they said.

3 ways SmartAssembly will improve your software:
.NET applications can be easy to disassemble if they haven't been obfuscated, which can be a problem if you've invested time, effort, and money in your code. Obfuscating your code is easy to do and adds a barrier of protection against reverse-engineering and modification.
To learn about how to obfuscate your code, watch our webinar recording.
You'll find below a comparison between what someone would see before your code is obfuscated and after code obfuscation.
Before obfuscation After obfuscation
Multiple forms of Obfuscation and Optimization
Code Obfuscation makes your application hard to reverse-engineer, removes non-useful code, and compresses dependencies, protecting and compacting your application with a minimum of fuss.
Key features:
- Name mangling
Changes the names of methods and fields to make it hard to understand their purpose.
- Control flow obfuscation
Converts the code inside methods to 'spaghetti code' to make it difficult to see how the application works.
References dynamic proxy
Creates a proxy for calls to methods outside of your assembly to make it hard to find external calls.
Strings encoding
Encodes the strings used in your software to hide such information as passwords and SQL queries.
Resources compression and encryption
Compresses and encrypts managed resources to make them hard to understand, and to reduce the size of the assembly.
Removes non-useful metadata to make the code harder to reverse-engineer, reduce the size of the assembly, and improve loading time.
Dependencies merging
Takes all the DLLs and merges dependencies into the main assembly, so you don't have to load lots of DLL files, and so that they can also be obfuscated.
Dependencies compression and embedding
Compresses and embeds your dependencies into your main assembly, simplifying the deployment of your software and reducing the size of your program.
Method parent obfuscation
Moves methods in your code by changing the class they are in, making it harder to understand how methods and classes relate to each other.
Strong name signing with tamper protection
Signs your assembly and helps to protect it against modification (the additional tamper protection is not available in the Standard edition).
Declarative obfuscation
Excludes a member from obfuscation using custom attributes directly in your code.
SmartAssembly decodes obfuscated stack traces and generates .pdb files containing debugging information. This enables you to debug your assembly into your IDE, and get the full stack trace when an exception occurs. To top it off, SmartAssembly even helps to ensure that you're automatically releasing unneeded memory.
Integration and Support
Obfuscation can be integrated into build processes using MS Build or command-line, and supports .NET 2.0 to 4.5, Compact Framework 2.0 to 3.5, Silverlight 2.0 to 5.0, XNA, and Windows Phone 7, with some exceptions – see PDF for details.
Only one thing's worse than finding out your software has bugs: never finding out.
Most users won't bother to report bugs: it's tricky and technically challenging to remember and relate the details. It would be easier for everyone if you let your users just give you the whole story in one quick click, wouldn't it?
Automated Error Reporting is an exception handling mechanism that automatically and silently collects detailed information when errors occur. Although highly customizable, a typical error report consists of a full stack trace and details about the exception context (e.g. values of all the local variables).
The user just has to click "Send error reports" – no painful back and forth to get all the details. It's all there.
There are two main circumstances where Automated Error Reporting is particularly useful:
- In the pre-release phase (e.g. beta testing), when you want lots of early user feedback to help you ship a stable application.
- In post-release maintenance, when you want to streamline and speed up the process of debugging and fixing your software.
What are the benefits of Automated Error Reporting?
- Configuring and adding exception handling to your application takes seconds, involves very few changes to your code, yet gives you access to stacks of valuable feedback.
- No more time-consuming email exchanges to get all the necessary details. Your end-users can report unhandled exceptions at the click of a button, meaning you can fix bugs faster.
- You get continuous data on which unhandled exceptions are most recurrent, helping you prioritize the bugs which affect the most end-users.
- You can lower support costs by identifying and fixing the issues your end-users are actually experiencing.
Using the SDK, you can also package any data you want with the exception report, e.g. a log file or a screenshot taken at the time of the crash. You can even customize your exception handling dialog and ask the user for more information, or contact details so you can contact them when a fix is released.
If you track bugs with JIRA, SmartAssembly Sync for JIRA can save you even more time during the error-fixing process. It moves error reports across to your bug-tracking system automatically and even groups duplicate reports together. Find out more on the JIRA blog.
And if you're using SmartAssembly's Obfuscation functionality in your development, we've got you covered – SmartAssembly can decode obfuscated stack traces.

Browse the web-based demo to view real error reports that have helped us improve our SQL Search tool. Alternatively, you can take a look at the free webinar recording below, or take a browse through our case studies, walkthroughs, and screenshots.
Free webinar recording:
SmartAssembly lead developer Alex Davies demonstrates how to use Automated Error Reporting to automatically gather comprehensive error reports from end-users whenever they hit a bug, and how to use these reports to deliver faster bug fixes. The demo lasts 30 minutes, and is followed by a Q&A session.
Key features:
Range of standard templates
Send error reports with or without prompting the end-user.
Custom templates (available from the SDK)†
Gives you full control over the dialog box displayed to end-users when an exception occurs.
Report categorization
Categorize reports to quickly see the most common errors your users experience.
Shared exception reports
View the exception reports for applications built by any developer or build system in your organization.
System information always sent
The version of Windows, the .NET version, and a list of loaded assemblies are sent with the stack trace.
Attach files to error reports†
Log files, screenshots, and any other type of file can be attached to error reports.
Collect the end-user's email address
Impress your customers by telling them when the problem has been fixed.
Your error reports are encrypted while stored in the web service and are deleted from the server when you download them.
Web service hosted by Red Gate*
No complicated installation because Red Gate hosts the web service that error reports are sent to.
Custom web service†
Run the web service yourself for maximum flexibility.
* Important Note: Access to the error reporting web service (for downloading error reports) is enabled by adding a Support & Upgrades package to your purchase. We offer customers the opportunity to renew their Support contract one month before it expires.
† Important Note: Custom templates, attaching files, and the custom web service are only available with SmartAssembly Pro (part of the SDK package).
Integration and Support
Addition of Automated Error Reporting functionality can be integrated into build processes using MS Build or command-line, and supports .NET 1.1 to 4.0, Silverlight 2.0 to 4.0, XNA, and Windows Phone 7, with some exceptions – see PDF for details.
Compiling .NET code often results in multiple assembly files being created, including satellite DLLs, all of which are required for the program to run. While this is a non-issue during development, when it comes to deployment it often means an unwanted stage of users having to unzip files, or additional steps in the installer as DLLs are moved to specific places.
You can dramatically simplify your deployment process by using SmartAssembly to merge and embed the code from referenced DLLs into your main assembly.
Dependency Merging
- Deploy your .NET application in one file
- Improve the performance and protection of your software
Dependency merging takes all the DLLs and merges dependencies into the main assembly so you don't have to load lots of DLL files. When a dependency is merged, it becomes a part of the main assembly and the code from a merged dependency can therefore be obfuscated and pruned as well as code from the main assembly.
Dependencies Compression & Embedding
- Facilitate your software deployment and maintenance
- Reduce the size of your program
Dependencies compression and embedding allows referenced DLLs to be embedded into the main assembly as resources, instead of being merged into the main assembly's contents. This feature also compresses these resources and dynamically uncompresses them at runtime.
The difference between merging and embedding dependencies
You can control SmartAssembly's dependency merging and dependencies compression and embedding through the command line, so it is easily integrated into the build process, providing simple, reliable merging of dependencies on every build.
SmartAssembly will also help you to protect and improve your software:
SmartAssembly can protect your Winforms, Silverlight, Windows Phone 7, ASP.NET applications and more. It can also be integrated into build processes using MS Build or the command-line.

Toll Brothers leads in battered housing market
Can the luxury home builder maintain its positive numbers?
By Samuel Richter, Benzinga Staff Writer
Thanks to higher construction spending, American home builders received another boost of optimism, with Toll Brothers (TOL) closing up 3% Wednesday.
According to a new report released by the Commerce Department, building outlays increased by 1.5% in December, far beyond analyst estimates of 0.5%. The figures reflect the biggest gain in new construction since August 2011.
Private construction saw an even bigger jump, with spending up 2.1% in December, and homebuidling outlays up 0.8%. While previous gains in apartment construction suggested that Americans were shifting to renting over buying after the tumultuous subprime housing crisis, a jump in single-family housing projects last December suggested that the trend to rent may have been short-lived. December saw 470,000 single-family houses being built, the most since April 2010.
The move to build new single-family houses is in part an attempt to capitalize on several factors in homebuyers' favor. Home values continue to fall. The S&P/Case Shiller index showed a drop in home values of 3.7% in November. While this sounds like bad news for homeowners, it also means houses are cheaper for homebuyers. That, combined with mortgage rates under 4%, is making home buying more attractive.
At the same time, the news also makes homeownership a riskier investment than it seemed before 2007. This doesn't mean consumers will stop buying homes, but that they will buy them for different reasons. Buying a house is becoming a thrifty choice. Last July, a study by Trulia.com concluded that the cost of property taxes, a mortgage, and property-associated expenses is lower than renting in 74% of major U.S. cities. Lower property prices will just make homebuying seem a better bargain for people looking for a place to live.
Record low mortgage rates, thanks to the Fed's decision to keep interest rates low until 2014, is also making homebuying appealing to dealseekers.
While new-home developers may be depending on low prices and low mortgage rates to spur demand, the recent move to expand construction is risky. New-home purchases were at their lowest rate ever for 2011, with sales in December falling by 2.2%. Developers may be anticipating a drop in houses on the market, now that the foreclosure rate has fallen to pre-recession levels, but developers may be putting the cart before the horse. Low prices and low mortgage rates did not lure homebuyers in 2011, and it may be too early to predict a change in 2012.
Expectations are running high for homebuilders, especially Toll Brothers, which reached its 52-week high on Jan. 18 at $23.31. Further growth may be in the cards, thanks to the strategic purchase of Seattle builder CamWest Development, which extends the company's reach into the Pacific Northwest. With luxury home sales up in the region, the developer is entering an expanding market.
Toll Brothers will need to see similar spikes in luxury home sales nationwide to sustain its current high stock price. That will only be possible if new home sales recover from their slump and Toll Brothers can offload its current inventories, which have steadily risen since 2008. That hasn't happened yet; at $1.48 billion, net sales in 2011 were down 1.2% from last year's figures. The company has enjoyed growing margins and slightly higher revenues, prompting investors to hope that the company has returned to profitability for good, but it will need to sell more units to make that momentum stick.

Reliable returns: Two favorite water utilities
The Utility Forecaster newsletter picks Aqua America and American Water Works for safety, yield and growth.
US water utilities entered and exited the 2008-09 market crash/credit crunch/recession with barely a scratch.
With fears of another recession running high, US water utilities are even better positioned on their current fundamentals. Here's a look at Aqua America (WTR) and American Water Works (AWK).
As a group, they have virtually no refinancing needs through the end of 2012. Payout ratios average well below 70 percent. Regulatory relations are strong, with only California a potential question mark for the future.
Average yields still rank the lowest in the US utility universe. But the best are growing dividends robustly -- ensuring more of the same reliable total returns that have paced the group over the past decade and more.
Aqua America, for example, has returned nearly 11 times as much as the S&P 500 since mid-2001. And these stocks are far less volatile than almost any other equities.
The result is a combination of superb safety, moderate but growing yields, low volatility and reliable long-term growth that's tough to beat in these uncertain times.
If you don't already own a basket of my favorite water companies, now's a great time to stock up.
State and local governments' busted budgets partly explain the dearth of water system funding. The result is that needed investment simply hasn't been made in many areas of the country for decades.
For the best and biggest US water utilities, therein lies the opportunity. Increasingly needy small water and wastewater systems are willingly acquired and absorbed at low prices.
Companies combine them with their existing systems to increase scale and reduce costs for all. Investment is recovered in rate base, pushing up earnings, dividends and, ultimately, stock prices.
This is the formula behind robust growth at Aqua America and American Water Works -- by far the two biggest water utilities in the US--over the past decade.
And if second-quarter results are any guide, they're only starting their run.
Aqua America recently announced the purchase of a wastewater system in Virginia, including a gravity collection system and lagoon wastewater treatment system.
The company will expand those assets by building a 70,000-gallon-a-day treatment plant in 2012.
That will all go into rate base and, because Virginia has one of the best regulatory environments in the US, the investment will flow through to earnings as well.
Aqua reported record second-quarter earnings, with profits rising 26 percent on a combination of cost controls, system expansion and rate increases.
That enabled management to boost the dividend by another 6.5 percent. Still my favorite water utility, Aqua America is a buy up to 24.
Meanwhile, the numbers at American Water were also extremely robust, with earnings per share up 14 percent.
Management now expects full-year 2011 profit to come in on the "upper end" of its beginning year estimate of $1.65 to $1.75 per share.
American's keys to growth were much the same as Aqua's, as it added $392 million in new infrastructure investment in the first half of 2011 alone.
The dividend has been increased 5 percent over the past 12 months and is on track for more of the same, with $254 million in rate increases currently filed.
American's company development entered a new stage this year, with the decision to reduce the number of states where it operates from 20 to 16.
That's mainly to increase its concentration of resources on states where it sees an opportunity to dramatically increase scale and scope.
This summer, for example, the company exited Ohio and doubled its New York customer base via an asset swap with Aqua.
Like all water utilities, American is always at risk to rate lag, the constant temptation of regulators to delay needed rate increases to pay for investment already made.
But with its unmatched diversification, reach and financial power, the risk of a one-state setback to the entire enterprise is minimal. My buy target for American Water Works remains $30 per share.

Mucositis is the swelling, irritation, and ulceration of the mucosal cells that line the digestive tract. Mucositis can occur anywhere along the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. It can be a very troublesome and painful side effect of chemotherapy. Anticipating mucositis may help to manage some of the symptoms.
The cells that line the digestive tract are rapidly reproducing. In other words, the life span of these cells is very short compared to other cells in the body. Chemotherapy agents do not differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells. Because the digestive tract cells reproduce rapidly, the chemotherapy agents can destroy them quickly, breaking down the protective linings, and leaving these linings prone to inflammation, irritation, and swelling. Mucositis can be even further complicated by nausea and vomiting that often occur with treatment.
The following are the most common symptoms of mucositis. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Redness and swelling of the gums with symptoms possibly progressing to ulcerations in the mouth and throat, white patches, or pus
Trouble eating or swallowing
Abdominal cramping and tenderness
Rectal ulcerations or redness
The symptoms of mucositis may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
Mucositis may occur a week or longer after completion of therapy. Unfortunately, symptoms may not be preventable. There are things, however, you can do for your child to manage the pain including the following:
Keep your child's mouth moist by encouraging him or her to drink plenty of fluids. Try ice chips or popsicles. It may help to have him or her try drinking through a straw.
Inspect your child's mouth daily with a flashlight to see if any ulcerations have developed or worsened.
Oral hygiene should be done as often as four times a day: after each meal and before bedtime.
Use lip balm to keep your child's lips from peeling or cracking.
Teeth should be brushed gently with a soft toothbrush.
Mouthwashes that contain alcohol should be avoided. Your child's doctor may prescribe a special mouthwash for your child.
Avoid food with extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. Try soft foods that are easy to swallow.
Older children should not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco products.
If the sores become very painful, your child's doctor may be able to prescribe a numbing solution for the mouth or other analgesics (pain relievers).
Give pain medicines before meal times.
If your child has severe diarrhea, maintain adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration.
Keep the rectal area clean and dry.
Change diapers frequently.
Clean your child's skin with a mild soap.
Your child's doctor may recommend several barrier ointments or creams.

New Orleans, La. - Times are changing on the Tulane campus Uptown with talk of failures in the football program is long gone.
Curtis Johnson has only been the head coach since 2012, but the bowl talk has arrived after the wave beat Tulsa this past Saturday "Like I told them this morning, now they've got even more girlfriends than last week, they've got more family members, they've got more everything. The pastor's calling them, the coaches from high school from all over the country, everywhere that they've been, everybody's calling them. So the concentration level's gotta be right on, and we gotta continue to keep our single-minded focus. We haven't achieved our goals yet."
Winning and getting noticed around campus is all new to the players but CJ's morning message is already taking hold with his squad, according to senior running back Orleans Darkwa "It's been so long for this program to actually have that type of conversation. So being able to be bowl-eligible right now is a great feeling, but at the same time as a group we know we're not done yet. So we just gotta continue to practice even harder because we got a target on our back now."
The Wave will be going "bowling" this year, they're just not ready to say where just yet according to Johnson "I'd love to go to the New Orleans Bowl, or any other bowl. It's just that what we want to do right now is we just gotta concentrate on what we're doing right now and then we just want to play and win as many games as we can. Hopefully we win them all, and then whatever bowl would accept us, we'll go to that bowl. We win them all, we go to the New Orleans Bowl, that'd be fine."
Even though Florida Atlantic's record is 2-6 and the Wave's is 6-2, Vegas installed Tulane as a four point underdog.

MADISON, Wis. (WXPR) -- A report by the Democratic leaning Citizen Action of Wisconsin challenges Governor Scott Walker's refusal to accept federal Medicaid money for BadgerCare has resulted in higher health insurance costs here than elsewhere.
During a media call with reporters last week, Citizen Action Director Robert Kraig said with increased transparency from Obamacare, they were able to gather data on what other states are paying versus here.Kraig says three conclusions came out of the data. "And what jumped out of that report is that taking the Medicaid money, having a robust rate review and having prior approval for insurance rates which a number of states have done, and another one which would require a Constitutional Amendment which is an elected insurance commissioner."
The pro-Obamacare organization's report finds that the average Wisconsin resident will pay over $250 more per year because of failure to accept the funds for BadgerCare, while having a robust system of reviewing insurance rates could have reduced rates as much as $747 a year for the average individual plan.
A report from the Walker Administration to legislators said Wisconsin's Medicaid program shows a $93-million dollar deficit. Walker and other Republicans say the money to pay from the federal government is not there to begin with.
As you might expect, Democrats back the Citizen Action claims and Republicans do not.
The Citizen Action of Wisconsin report is on their website.

Decent but not very durable

About Me Purchasing Agent
Best Uses
These badge holders are used by approximately 90 people in our organization. They are well-priced and easy to use. However, you should expect to have to replace a badge holder every 5-6 months. The front breaks off or becomes too loose, and you're lucky if you don't lose your ID. For the amount of time they last and the price, these are the best option for our organization right now, but the cost does start to add up.

If you've ever had a home repair you just couldn't get fixed, then you know the frustration of some folks in the Willowbrook community in Bradenton.
For more than a year, 8 On Your Side has been showing you homes in that community with collapsing balconies, and holes in the ceilings. Residents have been moving out while the builder, KB Home, has started repairs on the buildings.
Now, KB Home has filed a lawsuit against its subcontractors. Late last week, KB Home filed the suit against 41 subcontractors, ranging from air conditioning companies to a landscaper.
KB Home says these companies were responsible for constructing the Willowbrook community, and the company is demanding a jury trial.
The court papers state: "KB HOME has been required to incur significant damages to investigate, repair and remediate the Project and to resolve claims with the individual unit owners… furthermore, the Alleged Defects have caused KB HOME to suffer special damages, including damage to KB HOME'S goodwill and business reputation."
In a statement, KB Home said: "KB Home is actively making repairs in the Willowbrook community and continuing to resolve our homeowners' concerns. We stand behind our homes and our warranty, and expect our trade partners, whose work goes into our homes, to do the same. KB Home's lawsuit seeks reimbursement and pursues claims against contractors who may not have fulfilled their obligations in constructing the homes in Willowbrook."
One resident believes KB Home is just trying to save face.
Armando Oyola-Delgado showed 8 On Your Side his balcony, or what was left of it. It's been torn up, and is covered with a tarp and building supplies. He says a few years ago he started seeing problems.
"The balcony started collapsing, water was coming in," said Delgado.
He said work crews did some repairs, but as of now Armando Delgado's balcony is totally unusable.
"They left it like that, and they never came back," Delgado said.
Inside Delgado's home, mold damage is evident. There are even mushrooms growing in his living room.
8 On Your Side discovered a number of KB Home communities in the Tampa Bay area that have similar defects. Delgado says he's not impressed by the lawsuit; he just wants his money back.
"Is it the subcontractor or is it KB Home that keeps making the same mistake over and over again?" said Delgado. "Are they pinching pennies? Is that what's going on?"
Right now, Delgado doesn't live in his condo anymore, and some other residents have moved out as well.
8 On Your Side called a few of the subcontractors listed in the suit, but they have not commented at this time.

Sneakerness Paris 2014 – Event Recap
September 8th, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 6 comments
The latest Sneakerness event just went down in Paris, which meant tons of European collectors convened in that city to buy, sell, and trade their footwear. The good thing about these Euro shows is that they usually offer a different perspective on the game than you'll see at stateside conventions (One good example of that is the general dearth of Air Jordans). You can see for yourself though – continue reading to flip through a quick set of photos from the floor at the recent Sneakerness show, which included an appearance from The Tech Challenge Club, and tell us if you spot any gems in the photos lined up below.

Steve Dodd of the Blaine Marina furniture and appliance store on Marine Drive wants to save you money by selling you a new washer or dryer.
So does Terry Lehmann of Lehmann's Maytag in Bellingham.
Adding to that is the rebates of up to $75 for power customers of the city of Blaine and $100 for Puget Sound Energy for buying the more efficient washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers and dishwashers that qualify. Cascade Natural Gas also provides $75 rebates for converting to a gas water heater.
Dodd said that the added cost of energy star appliances can be amortized over the first two to three years of ownership, "and then that's roughly cut in half with the rebates."
Energy Star ratings are handed out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for those appliances that exceed federal efficiency requirements by 15 percent or more. Lehmann compared the efficiency ratings to the mileage ratings the EPA applies to cars, adding that manufacturers have increased efficiency in a variety of ways. "One of the big changes is that the industry is gradually going to front load washers. That's all you see in Europe these days because they're so much more efficient."
For example, a typical top-load washer will use 42 gallons of water to wash three king-size bed sheets. But a front loader will wash more than twice that much on roughly 60 percent less water, having to buy and heat just 16 gallons of water to do the same job more than twice over.
Front loaders are more expensive partly because their doors must seal and they are mechanically a bit more complex. "The few energy star top loaders and the front loaders have a spin cycle that's twice as fast as the older machines. Clothes seem to be practically dry when you take them out," Lehmann said.
To crunch some specific numbers, Lehmann pointed to a floor demo front load washer, a Maytag model # MHWZ 600 TQ. His price is $870, minus the power company rebate plus a $75 gas rebate if you also have a gas hot water heater. If you do eight washes per week then the annual power cost is $16 in electricity or $11 in natural gas as opposed to roughly $42 per year in electricity or $24 in gas for a comparable top-load non-Energy Star washer.
Dodd said that the savings using LP gas from an outdoor tank are less than with natural gas because liquified gas costs more and gas appliances must be modified to run on propane.
"We have another front loading model that's even more efficient. It costs more, about $1,300," Lehmann said, "but over ten years it will amortize its initial higher cost and pay you back about $1,000."
Another way these appliances save money and energy as well as help keep the environment clean is in using a lot less soap. Lehmann said that front loaders need a special high efficiency soap at just two to three teaspoons per load (three teaspoons equals half an ounce). "It can be hard to get used to putting so little in a load because people usually use way too much soap," Lehmann said, "but even top-loaders need only a quarter cup (two ounces) per load." He advised people to use a regular kitchen measuring cup instead of the larger cups that come with the detergent, and even try washing a load of clothes without adding any soap. "If you take a look during the wash cycle you'll find that your clothes still have soap in them from the last wash," he said.
Energy star clothes dryers raise efficiency by using bigger blowers, much like drying clothes on a line in windy conditions.
Refrigerators and freezers use high efficiency compressors, improved insulation, and more precise temperature and defrost mechanisms to improve energy efficiency to the point that a new model uses about half the energy of one purchased before 1993.
Keeping it away from a heat source (ovens, dishwashers, direct sunlight) also helps, as does allowing space for air to circulate and keeping the condenser coils clean. Exterior ice and water dispensers help because you don't open the door as much. The EPA recommends keeping refrigerators at 35 to 38 degrees fahrenheit and freezers at 0 degrees.
big expense in running washers is, of course, heating the water. One
recent innovation is the use of on-demand or tankless water heaters.
Most are quite capable of producing enough hot water for someone to be washing dishes by hand while someone else is taking a shower, in other words, they put out as much or more than a tank system with the added benefit that you do not run out of hot water.
Aside from other rebates they also qualify for a 30 percent federal income tax credit up to $1,500 in the year of purchase. If you're going to this weekend's home show, Don Dawson of Sullivan Plumbing will be talking about these water heaters at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 7.

At the site of the first explosion, the one-month anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings passed as a typical Boylston Street tableau for much of Wednesday.
Business people and tourists, students and residents strolled or hurried past the place where a shrapnel-filled pressure cooker had created carnage only steps from the race's finish line. Few stopped at the spot, and few hints of its significance could be found.

MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Oregon's first trip to the WIAA boys state soccer tournament since 1998 ended earlier than the Panthers would have liked, falling 1-0 to Kenosha Bradford in a Division 1 state quarterfinal on Thursday at Uihlein Soccer Park.
The Red Devils' Zach Reget used some fancy footwork to score in the 21st minute and put Kenosha Bradford on top.

Claremont Theatre
3228 N. Clark Street,
3 people favorited this theater
This Lake View neighborhood movie theater, which opened in the early 1910s, sat around 625, and was located not far from the somewhat larger Buckingham Theatre, which was home to the popular Organic Theatre Company for much of the 80s and 90s (now located in suburban Evanston).
After closing decades ago as a movie house, the Claremont was converted to retail use. Today it is home to the Alley alternative shopping center.

Here are some additional photos. That's a griffin on the roof.
Don't believe those are original.
I believe you are correct. The Alley actually sells smaller versions of griffins, gargoyles & columns.
They just lucked out that the building's terra cotta kind of matched their wares.
Here is a 1982 photo:
Here's one of my pictures of the Claremont (The Alley) from May 23, 2008:
The interior is very intact. Amazing architecture. I went in there about a month ago and everything was in there execpt for a few things. The store is huge + the theatre! The store not only takes this big theatre up but 5 other buildings!
This was a Guitar Center for many years, well into the 90's if not the 2000's. You walked in on the lobby level, where there didn't seem to be much visible ornament. Then you went down a short stairway to the main showroom. This was in the former auditorium, and the ceiling and sidewall decoration was still very visible. I don't remember seeing the arch or organ screens, and as I recall the management offices were in that part of the building.
Open till 1945.
A Robert-Morton Theater Pipe Organ, 2 Manual/3 Rank (Keyboarb/Sets of Pipes) Style 49, was shipped to the theater in 1924. Does anyone know what happened to the organ?
Robert Morton Organ Company was located in Van Nuys, California. "Robert Morton" wasn't a person, rather the first names of a major stockholder's sons. It was the number two volume producer of theater pipe organs, building approximately half as many as the industry leader WurliTzer.
I heard from a number of sources that Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy performed her during the vaudeville era.
