Netflix CEO gets 100% raise
Reed Hastings helped bring in new viewers and content in 2012, but his company piled up debt and tanked earnings.
Netflix (NFLX) thinks chief executive Reed Hastings deserves a nice, fat raise for his work in 2012. Netflix's overall numbers don't quite agree.
A Securities and Exchange Commission filing revealed that Netflix will give Hastings a $2 million salary and another $2 million in stock options in 2013. That effectively doubles his combined 2012 take of $500,000 in salary and $1.5 million in options.
From a forward-thinking shareholder's perspective, what's not to love? Netflix's share price has risen nearly 30% in the last year and the company just locked up an exclusive content deal with Disney (DIS). For concerned customers and impatient investors, however, doubling Hastings' pay may trigger unpleasant memories of the last time Netflix doubled the cost of something it valued.
For those latter constituencies, Hastings' start date may as well have been Sept. 18, 2011. That's when Netflix announced plans to separate its streaming video and DVD-by-mail services and effectively double the price of subscribing to both. Starting from that point, Netflix's share price has actually dropped 38%.
Even that figure is charitable. Over a two-year span, Netflix has seen its stock price plummet 49%. In July, just before the ill-fated content split, shares were fetching just below $300. That price has collapsed by roughly 70% since.
Netflix followers don't even have to delve that far into the company's history books to make arguments against Hastings' huge 2013 payday. This October, activist investor Carl Icahn bought a 10% stake in the company and made it clear that he felt Netflix's best move was to sell the company or fold it into a larger entity like Amazon (AMZN) or Apple (AAPL). That forced Hastings and his Netflix colleagues to adopt a "poison pill" strategy that would flood the market with shares if any one person's stake was greater than 10%.
Later that month, it announced that earnings in the previous quarter had plummeted 88% from a year ago. Content deals with Dreamworks Animation (DWA), the Weinstein Group and others saddled Netflix with $5 billion in debt, including $2.1 billion due immediately. The Disney deal reportedly cost the company another $300 million to $350 million, despite the fact that Disney content won't be exclusive to Netflix until its deal with Liberty Media's (LMCA) Starz expires in 2016.
Its vaunted streaming strategy hasn't been bulletproof, either. During first three quarters of 2012, Netflix added 3.4 million new video streaming subscribers in the U.S., but fell short of its previously announced goal of 7 million. When Hastings went on Facebook in July to applaud increases in monthly Netflix streaming, it got him into trouble with the SEC. More recently, on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, millions of subscribers lost streaming access for nearly 12 hours, and the company blamed technical issues with servers run by Amazon.
Not that Amazon or anyone else has done Hastings and Netflix any favors this year. As Hastings struggled to bolster streaming, Amazon elbowed in on Netflix's exclusive streaming deal with movie channel Netflix and took prized content like the "Thor," "Captain America" and "Transformers" films for its Amazon Prime streaming service. Amazon is also copying Netflix's $8-a-month streaming subscription rate and raising annual costs from $79 to $96 just to compete. The pack also grew to include Coinstar's (CSTR) Redbox, which just launched a new streaming service that offers a streaming/DVD bundle for $8 a month. Netflix, meanwhile, is just trying to convince subscribers it won't raise prices any time soon.
Part of that strategy has forced Hastings and his Netflix colleagues to reframe the service's key purpose. In a letter to shareholders, Hastings admitted the company didn't try to keep its Epix exclusive because it would rather spend its content money on shows and episodes than movies. A TV Guide survey found that found that 42% of TV viewers reported watching more streamed content this year than last year. Of those, 73% said they were streaming just to catch up on episodes of their favorite shows.
Hastings and Netflix took notice and, within the last year, have expanded the company's streaming deal with 20th Century Fox to bring in more shows like "Glee," "Sons Of Anarchy," "Louie" and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" and with AMC Networks (AMCX) to secure rights to "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead." It's also offering more in-house content, including the revived series "Arrested Development" slated to launch in spring.
Piling up that content and streaming it commercial-free gave Netflix a leg up on its ad-interrupted competitor Hulu and has made it a hit with roughly 30 million subscribers and a growing base of viewers. Netflix accounted 33% of prime-time web viewing based on Internet traffic in September, according to Sandvine's "Global Internet Phenomena Report." That's up from 32.7% a year ago and 20.6% in the second half of 2010 and more than 18 times the the share of Amazon, Hulu and Time Warner's (TWX) HBO Go.
Hastings' content additions and episode-based streaming strategy have helped Netflix bounce back a bit from its big stumble in 2011 and have given it some much-needed good news. Was that news worth a $2 million raise, especially with billions in debt and an increasingly crowded marketplace still plaguing the company? Apparently so, but the folks streaming all that new cash into Hastings' account maybe should have given their decision a little more buffering time.

A word from Sandiago's Mexican Grill
The views, the food, and the atmosphere combine to make Sandiago's Mexican Grill an excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Sandiago's is located at the base of the Sandia Peak Tramway, in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. The perch above the city gives the restaurant the best views of any restaurant in Albuquerque. Readers of Local IQ recently voted Sandiago's Mexican Grill "Best Restaurant with a view." People flock to the windows and patio to view the city lights and spectacular sunsets. The food is just as spectacular as the sunsets. The meal starts with our home made chips and pico de gallo. The entrees range from traditional New Mexican selections of enchiladas and burritos to the house specialties from coastal Mexico. The Baja Tacos, Mahi Mahi in a creamy white wine garlic broth and grilled Salmon with a three pepper glaze are local favorites. The hand crafted over-sized margaritas and Doogie's Mojito are some of the best drinks in town.Continued

- Unfortunately unimpressedMd14Dined on 8/30/2014We were seated quickly and the server was knowledgable about the menu. We ate on the patio and there was a gorgeous view of the city and mountains. The server, while knowledgable, spoke very quickly and corrected my boyfriend a couple times which seemed a bit rude. The caso was good as were the chips. I ordered chicken enchiladas and my boyfriend had a chicken BBQ type dish. His was pretty good... mine however looked like it had been overcooked and then drowned to death in sauce. I could not make out what was what on the plate, it was such a mess. The chicken in my plate tasted like it was from a can... Yuck. It looked so unappealing I almost did not want to eat it and didn't finish it. The food was not worth the price in the end.Special Features:
- Exciting views!!HappyDinerVIPDined on 8/17/2014Go for the views. Overall, the food was good, competent handling of ingredients; I wished my taco salad shell had been warmer; the tequila was a hit with my dining companions and the waitstaff were in point and friendly. So, go, you won't be disappointed and what the food handles with competence, the views make up for by being spectacular!! Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/17/2014Beautiful view and great food! Great place to spend the afternoon with friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never a disappointment!yesmaryDined on 8/9/2014If you live in ABQ or just traveling through, I think Sandiagos is a hidden gem and you mist go!! This is the 3rd time in 3 years that I have been here and I already can't wait to go back. The ambiance on the outside patio is great! Sitting inside, unless it's the dead of winter just isn't the same. The view at sunset from the balcony patio is amazing and reminded me just how beautiful ABQ can be. Both my daughter's and my dishes were delicious and very unique both in taste and presentation! The triple layered portobello mushroom stack is great for vegetarians and vegans alike. It had layers of mushrooms and black bean puree on a bed of grilled Kale. My daughter (18) had the chicken and it too was simply divine!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- YOUR BASIC MEXICAN RESTURANTraymDined on 8/3/2014GOOD VIEWS BUT FOOD AND SERVICE WERE JUST WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT IN A MEXICAN RESTURANT. NOT A GLUTIN FREE FRIENDLY RESTURANT....NO ONE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE ISSUES.Special Features:
- Making things right!FavoriteVIPDined on 7/25/2014We have dined at Sandiago's Mexican Grill a number of times, and this time was a little off. Both my wife's and my meals came from the kitchen incorrect, but the wait person was quick to make them right. The blood orange margarita was also not up to usual. The manager overheard my wife telling the wait person about the margarita, checked the preparation with the bar, and came back to the table to apologize, indicating that they did not make the margarita correctly, and asked if she would like another drink on the house. This is a great example of management doing what is right to please the customer!Special Features:
- Love the view!chefjudeVIPDined on 7/24/2014Nice late night snack and beverage. Our server was excellent!!Special Features:
- Better than average food...chefjudeVIPDined on 7/21/2014We were initially seated inside but requested a change to the outdoor patio. Wonderful view of sunset and city lights. I had a relleno - poblano stuffed w 3 cheeses. Crust was tasteless. My husband enjoyed his blue corn enchiladas. Our bill w 2 drinks and tip ran around $50.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but not all it seemsbjc006Dined on 7/18/2014Per hostess, reservations are just first come first serve... We were put at next available table in back with walk-ins. Website doesn't clearly show the facility is not on top with other restaurant. Tram website suggestion operation until 8 pm but operator said it stays open until 10 pm+. Which would provide more flexibility for scheduling dinner. All-in-all ambiguous information on reservations and utilization of facilities, but food was good and servers were helpful.
- Great FoodSanRivDined on 7/12/2014Great food and atmosphere. Had a great time with the whole family. Very reasonable pricing.Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/26/2014Food and service were excellent. Had Mahi Mahi fish tacos and Portabello vegie dish and both were excellent. Pico de Gallo was excellent! Only complaint is the help (which they had a lot of) kept trying to take our chips away after our dinner was served. Anyway, will definitely be returning!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another chancexquizitDined on 6/22/2014Once our food was brought to us correctly, it was delicious. My dinner was returned once and my husband's twice. We will give them another chance.Special Features:
- The waiters and waitressesluvtheviewDined on 6/20/2014The shirts that everyone wore were great. The other thing that I liked about your restaurant was when the people left the table all the waiters and waitress helped each other to get the table clean for the next group of people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Bad service and lousy foodnmdinerDined on 6/15/2014We had reservations and arrived on time. It took them 20 minutes to seat us, even though there were empty tables. We asked for an outside table and when we arrived they did not have any available. However, once we waited 20 minutes, there were tables that had become available, but they did not seat us there. I have had the fish tacos many times and love them. They were awful this time. The noise level was terrible. We had to yell to hear each other. My dad had the blue corn chicken enchiladas and they were delicious. This was a place we would go often, especially with out of town guests due to the location, but we won't be going back.Special Features:
- DinnerDHWPRODined on 6/14/2014Restaurant had a decent atmosphere and was not very busy when we arrived early on a Saturday evening. The server was not very personable but relatively attentive overall. The food was over-priced for the quality, presentation and taste. For instance, the chicken tacos on a soft corn tortilla were very difficult to eat and fell apart the first time you picked them up. The chicken was in very large chunks with only one soggy corn tortilla surrounding. Needless to say, you should have two tortillas (as many restaurants do) when using soft corn and the tacos fell apart easily. In short, we would probably not go back given the overall experience to price ratio. Views are nice as the restaurant sits at the base of the Sandia tram.Special Features:
- Uninterested wait staffdinerVIPDined on 6/13/2014On this visit, I experienced much disappointment with my waiter. He seemed very uninterested in our table and took a rather long time to bring us our drinks. As a matter of fact, by the time our drinks arrived, our entree's arrived. That is not to say that our entree's arrived quickly, it just shows how unmotivated our wait staff was. Another irritation was the mosquitos...THEY WERE EVERYWHERE! If the food had not been delicious, I would have given this place 1 star, but the food is what saved all the other shortfall of this restaurant.Special Features:
- City viewbbssDined on 6/11/2014The outside deck offers a nice view of Albuquerque, especially in the early evening. Food was average but service attentive. Convenient for a meal before or after taking the tram to Sandia Peak.Special Features:

- Great FoodJCReviewsDined on 6/6/2014Fish tacos were outstanding, got them with mahi mahi. Guacamole and pico de gallo are excellent.

- Ok food w/ great viewsNM1stTimersDined on 5/28/2014As long as you don't get too specific on what you want to eat, you should enjoy your meal. But, if you start asking to remove things, it will probably get messed up and not come out how you want. Other than that, the place is ok, although we have had better food at other places - it's not terrible.Special Features:

- disorganized staff, great viewdisappointedDined on 5/5/2014We booked a table for a party of 5 for my birthday well in advance, since it was Cinco de Mayo. Our reservation was 7 pm, I even called a couple of days before to make sure all was set. When we arrived at 645, the girl at the desk said her manager told her (?) they were busy, though the restaurant was not full, so we stood at the bar for a drink, which became several, as they did not seat us until 735. Then the waiter informed us they closed at 830 (!) so proceeded to rush us through what was supposed to be a festive event. The staff is very poorly managed, they seemed quite unhappy to be working there, pretty bad attitudes all around.Special Features:
- not gluten freeglutenfreedinerDined on 5/3/2014the restaurant's site said they had gluten free food but their chips were not and the kitchen staff didn't seem to understand what we needed. waitress was great trying to help and the special margarita was fabulous. they let us bring in our own chips but we were just lucky to have some with us. I did get glutened on my trip and I think it was at this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view / Bad foodpapadoggDined on 5/3/2014Even though Sandiago's has the best view of the city it doesn't improve the quality of the food. My date started with the Scallop and Shrimp Civeche with Jalipenio and guess what it had. For an entrée we both ordered the Blue Corn Tortilla Enchilada's with the shredded beef and the beef was so stringy and tough neither one of us could eat it.Special Features:
- Great ViewFoodLoverDined on 5/2/2014We enjoy taking out of town guests to Sandiago's's. The view is spectacular, the food is always good and reasonably priced, the service is very good and not intrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too Busy for Good Service?FavoriteVIPDined on 4/18/2014We have dined at Sandiago's Mexican Grill dozens of times in the past, and it seems when they are extremely busy, as they were on April 18th, that the kitchen doesn't get things right! The service was good, but the food was mediocre, and the order received was not exactly what was ordered.Special Features:
- Very nice viewDelta1Dined on 4/4/2014Our initial intent was to make the trip to the restuarnat at the top, but as it turns out the Tram was down for bi-annual service. We still wanted to experience the view, so we decided to make this restaurant our stop. Glad we did. Good food and a very nice sunset. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone coming to Albuquerque.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Mexican food in ABQmlmdjdDined on 3/28/2014We have been trying out numerous Mexican/New Mexican places to choose a place for an upcoming party. This is the one we decided has the best food. They have some classical Mexican dishes but also many different, more creative dishes. All were very yummy and unlike some other places, not overwhelming large. My husband had the carne adovada, which he loved. I tried the meat by itself and I wasn't sure I liked it but my husband said when it was mixed with the guac/salsa/sour cream, it was great. I had a special seafood dish -- very nicely done. It does have a nice view of the valley but since that is towards the west, it is a bit sunny.Special Features:
- Just OKOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/22/2014Server was indifferent....didn't want to be there. Kinda rude. food was OK...My son had tacos and the meet was too dry to finish. What would bring us back is to enjoy the views.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LOVE SANDIAGO'SFoodieMomDined on 3/21/2014We LOVE this restaurant and have been going there for years! The staff are friendly and fun. The Portobello Stack is awesome, and a special treat for those of us who avoid animal products. They also serve the best pina coladas in town. I get mine "virgin" style (without alcohol) for dessert! Our son is getting married in May, and we are having the rehearsal dinner at Sandiago's on the patio. The view is amazing! It can't be beat in Albuquerque. No wonder it's been voted The Best View in the City! Don't forget to make your reservations (use Open Table and earn points), though, and request a table by the windows or on the patio if it's warm enough. Enjoy!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I believe this was first published in 1969. In a little way this book resembles The Hunger Games in that it is predominantly a personality play set in a deadly scenario, though in this case it is the maze that is deadly. A good book for young adults up.

Man on the street: Summer snapshots
Date: October 16, 2009
by: Dora Walters | Senior Editor
Question: What was the highlight of your summer?
Mason and Keegan Cardman
Mason Cardman, 4, and her sister, Keegan, 8, enjoyed spending time with their grandma and grandpa, Karen and Bill Cardman.
"We had tennis, golf and swimming lessons at the Longboat Key Club," Mason said.
Keegan added: "And we saw a turtle nest."
But, most of all, Mason loved, "swimming and the beach."
Jeanine Stebbins
"It was watching my 16-month-old son, Trey, continue to learn. In sign language he was always asking for 'more cookies,' and he did learn how to say 'thank you.' He attends The Learning Chest in Sarasota."
Tom Greeley
"Definitely the highlight of my summer was learning that I am going to become an uncle. My brother, Tim, and his wife, Lauren, are expecting their first baby, a girl, in January. I think they are going to name her Olivia."

"The highlight of my summer was the same as it has been every summer since the late 1950s — spending time at our cottage on Walloon Lake in northern Michigan. It is a wonderful place to relax with family."
Alan Ackerman
"A lot of my friends went to Europe, China and world cruises, but I went to Hayes, Kansas, a little town in the middle of nowhere. I visited an old friend, Chap Rackaway, who is a professor at the university there. It was hotter than blazes and, fortunately, I only stayed three days."
Paulus Egers
"I read a few more books, relaxed a bit, but, really, my summer or vacation time is here on Longboat Key. I am an interior architect from the Netherlands, and each year I visit and stay at our family condo. I am looking forward to a month here."

Feeling good isn't a good goal
I'm writing this letter at three o'clock. The hour of Jesus' crucifixion and His life-giving mercy. Did it "feel" good to save the lives of us sinners? Painful it was.
Liberal theology is the religion of "feeling good." Why are politicians telling women who have been raped to abort their baby conceived in pain? Isn't it so that supposedly the women will "feel good?"
I don't want to go to church to "feel good" but rather to repent of sin and to thank God for His mercy.
Why are black Baptists going to vote Democrat? Why are older generation Catholics voting Democrat? It doesn't "feel good" to "defeat evil" by voting Republican. What would Jesus say to that?
Sylvia Koczwara, Youngstown
Rambling, incoherent thought
Unfortunately, America has become a secular society and have gotten away from the ideals of our founding Fathers. This election will be the "turning point" for our country. Do we support the DEMOCRAT platform which originally took GOD out of their platform or do we return to the American values and vision?
May God bless America with the right decision on Nov. 6th.
You didn't do so well in English class did you Sylvia?
You didn't do so well in English class did you Sylvia?
I'm always baffled that people refer to the founding father's faith as a tool to advance their own religious views. The founders each had a vast array of religious ideas and faiths. Most of them didn't agree with each others, but they all believed that people (men/mankind) were dignified glorious creations whom their Creator granted the liberty to believe whatever they chose. That faith is a far cry from most of today's religious faiths which jump at every chance to tell people they are worthless junk.
It must have got stuck. Or the Vindicator thought it was so spot on that it needed to be published twice.
I'm sorry, but if you are going to write a letter to the editor, at least put some coherent thought behind it. I'll point out the ramblings of a lunatic all day long.
Here's what Jesus said about abortion and actual infantcide, both of which existed in his day, " ".
Yep. Nothing. But he had plenty to say about judgmental outwardly religious folk who suck all the joy out of life.

Calhoun can become the 17th team to complete back-to-back perfect seasons. Calhoun would become the ninth to go 15-0 in consecutive years. Here are schools that have gone unbeaten and untied for two consecutive seasons. East Rome in 1978 was the first team to finish 15-0.

Why is West Rome missing from the list? The Chieftains had back to back 15-0 seasons in 1982 and 1983.

You're correct John and then they went 14-1 in 1984 and won it again, but they did have the 15-0 back to back.

I am pretty sure Rockmart when undefeated in 1998, 1999, and 2000.
December 10th, 2012

@itsonlywrite… No the 1st year Sandy Creek won state in 2009 we lost our first game of the season against East Coweta on a blocked PAT in OT. We went on to win 14 straight and win state. Then 15-0 the next year winning state in 2010.
@Steve Dicks… Rockmart went 3-7 in 98, 1-9 in 99, and 7-3 in 2000. Plus this article isn't about teams just going undefeated. It's about teams winning back to back state championships and doing it while going 15-0 both seasons.
December 11th, 2012
8:40 am
Valdosta also did it in 56 & 57 going 13-0 both years. While the article does state 8 teams have finished back to back with 15-0 seasons the headlines says 14 teams finish back to back with perfect seasons.

The sudden spike in temperature signals the start of allergy season.
While many are thinking about gardening or spending time outdoors with the warmer weather, there are others who can barely breathe when they step outside.
"When they are blooming, I know it's coming, and I should probably get prepared. When you start seeing that yellow film on your car. I can't even breathe outside, that is not a good time for me," Lacey Wolford said.
Lacy Wolford has severe allergies to several things, but especially pollen.
"It has kept me home from school because my eyes will be swollen shut," Wolford said.
"Ever since the weather has changed, we have seen more and more cases of allergies," said Dr. Alexander Dela Llana with St. Mary's West Side Connection.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, one in five Americans has allergies. Dr. Llana says he is seeing a lot of patients during St. Mary's Saturday Clinic, but many confuse allergy symptoms with a cold.
"They have the onset of symptoms right away, like we had mentioned the watery eyes, the post nasal drip, sometimes they get what we call allergic shiners. They also have the occasional clear discharge and maybe coughing," Dr. Llana said. "Colds on the other hand sometimes you have a fever with it, comes on maybe three or four days after exposure, and they can last for about seven days. Unlike we had mentioned allergies, it hits you right away."
There are several treatment options, Wolford takes steroid packs, shots, and other prescription meds. Some allergy sufferers even see a chiropractor to relieve some of the tension and pressure from allergies.
"I can adjust you and relieve the symptoms, but it's not going to be a fix," said Dr. Jessica Kuryla with West Side Chiropractic.
But the best medicine is prevention.
"I try to wear a masks or something to cover my face with, so I don't get full pollen," Wolford said.
In case you are planning on moving, Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky are one of the worst cities in the nation today for allergy sufferers.
Best places are just about every city in South Dakota and Colorado.

Knott County Central High School Student Recognized By Kentucky State Police
Date of News Release: 03/21/2006
(LEXINGTON, KY) - Martin Patrick, a Knott County High School student from Emmalena, was recognized by the Kentucky State Police (KSP) at center court in Rupp Arena on March 18 at the semifinals of the Boy's Sweet Sixteen® Basketball Tournament.
As the top performer in KSP's "Drive To Stay Alive" program, Patrick received a $2,500 scholarship from the Kentucky Automobile Dealer's Association for his efforts in promoting highway safety and seat belt use among teenagers. His school received a $500 check from the Kentucky State Police Professional Association.
"I commend this young man for his noble efforts to help save lives," said KSP Commissioner Mark Miller. "Of the 985 people who died on Kentucky roadways last year, 101 were teen-agers. Sixty-three of these teens were not wearing seat belts. In order to reduce these needless deaths, we must educate our young people that the use of seat belts is one of the best defenses in a motor vehicle collision."
In October of 2005, Patrick joined 22 other high school students from 18 high schools throughout the state for the five-day "Drive To Stay Alive" training program in Frankfort. Certified driving instructors from the Kentucky State Police Academy provided the training. The course included topics such as vehicle dynamics and skid control, safety belts and airbags, impaired driving, off-road recovery, evasive maneuvering, controlled braking, multiple turns and lane interchange. The students also received three days of hands-on driving instruction at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta.
After completing the course, the students were provided with educational materials and programs for use in presentations to their fellow students in their home school districts. They were also partnered with a trooper from one of KSP's 16 posts throughout the state to assist them.
The students were evaluated on the number of programs presented, seat belt pledges signed, media interviews and stories generated, increased use of seat belts observed on school grounds and other activities emphasizing highway safety.
Patrick's winning effort included 61 highway safety presentations to students and more than 1,100 seat belt pledges signed.
According to Lt. Eric Walker, commander of the Governor's Highway Safety Program, the KSP branch that coordinates the Drive To Stay Alive Program, fifty-four of the state's 120 counties recorded teen driving fatalities in 2005.
"Jefferson County accounted for the most teen deaths with eight, followed by Laurel County with six and Taylor County with five. Warren, Bath and Bullitt counties had four each with Fayette, Hardin, Jessamine, Pike and Trigg reporting three each," he said. "Ballard, Butler, Campbell, Casey, Garrard, Grant, Hart, Kenton, Logan, Madison, Perry and Russell counties had two teen highway fatalities each with 31 other counties reporting one each."
"A closer look at the numbers is even more revealing," he adds. "Sixty-eight of the fatalities were male and 33 were female. Nineteen were 16 years old, 28 were 17 years old, 28 were 18 years old and 26 were 19 years old. Sixty of the fatalities were drivers of the vehicle, 38 were passengers and two were pedestrians."
"These statistics point out the need to make our roadways safer through graduated licensing programs, primary seat belt laws and training such as the Drive To Stay Alive course," notes Miller.
"Nationally, teenage driving fatalities are reaching epidemic levels," he adds. "According to the National Safety Council, nearly one out of every five fatalities involves a driver between 16 and 20 years of age. To reduce this loss of human potential, we must provide teens with practical guidance and driver training that will help them save their own lives as well as the lives of others on the road."
Patrick is the son of Patricia Short and stepson of Randal Slone, of Emmalena.

Facebook's stock weather forecast: Thunderstorms
Here's why shares continue to move lower.
Facebook (FB) is not only a great American success story, it's also a company that attracts some serious dark clouds. In the past, these clouds took the form of lawsuits from the Winklevoss brothers and Mark Zuckerberg's co-founder Eduardo Saverin. However, as the late Biggie Smalls said, "More money, more problems."
Facebook's new dark clouds are worrisome for investors.
Our Cheat Sheet investing framework always starts with a requirement for a "C = Catalyst for a Stock's Movement." In the case of Facebook, the strongest catalysts on the horizon are negative. Let's take a look:
1) Federal Trade Commission inquiries into the billion-dollar Instagram deal;
2) Securities and Exchange Commission inquiries into IPO shenanigans involving Morgan Stanley (MS) and Goldman Sachs (GS);
3) Shareholder lawsuits over IPO shenanigans;
4) Slowing growth in latest earnings announcement;
5) Major problems monetizing user-base;
6) An alleged move away from core competencies into the highly risky smartphone hardware space;
7) Core gaming partner Zynga (ZNGA) is diversifying away from the Facebook platform;
8) Increasing competition from Google+ (GOOG), Path, Pinterest, and many more niche social networks.
In addition to these major issues facing the company, Facebook's stock is highly valued and currently not discounting all these negative catalysts. Am I missing other negative catalysts? If so, please let me know in the comments below.
Damien Hoffman is the Editor-in-Chief at Wall St. Cheat Sheet. As of this writing, he did not own a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.
More from Wall St Cheat Sheet
The latest move, up $1 per share in less than 30 minutes. The more step function trading I see in this stock the less I want to be in it.
I wouldn't be surprised of Zuckerberg is buying back shares that he sold at $38.
Question: I'm just curious Mary Schapiro, how exactly does the SEC define stock price manipulation?
Another example of greed. there is no reasonto invest in Facebook. I like the site, but as a financial tool it is hollow. It makes nothing, it sell snothing and it does not offer a paid for service.
If the investors had done homework and not just tried to jump on a get rich quick scheme, they would have known this.
I do not feel sorry for one of the people that lost money.
Facebook got whacked because:
(A) It is a business platform that does not make anything. It is based on a fad and is at the mercy of the ephemeral, rapidly changing tastes of its main target demographic. This demographic does not click through ads or purchase the products advertised thereon---e.g. GM. FB is like a movie set. Peek behind the facade and see how fragile the structure propping up this company really is.
(B) The small investor has been suckered enough by Wall St and banksters. You guys move and manipulate the markets for your own ends. Also, we get it---we aren't permitted to profit from IPOs. These events are hyped beyond belief by a complicit, bought and paid-for media and are typically losers for all but the insiders.
(C) Even a few of the smarter institutional funds figured it out. How much FB did Berkshire Hathaway buy? Zilch, nada, zero. Buffett wouldn't touch it. He also said he would not buy Apple or Google at current values---too risky. Granted, this is not the business model BH is based on. But in his comments, he also said if BH engaged in short-selling, he would not short Apple or Google. Nothing about FB. So, was WB implying that FB was ripe for short-selling?
Look for the stock to be trading under $15, and possibly under $10/share by the end of the year.
Also, look for the next great thing (which all the kids are already waiting for) to suck the life out of FB. Its worth will be defined by the residual, limited shelf life value of the data it has mined from the gullible for marketing purposes. Most kids (13-30) will tell you, "FB is over."
PS---a FB phone? Right...as people are beginning to figure out how much private information they have been conned out of due to ever-changing, dubious privacy policies, I'm sure they'll be all over signing up for another device that spies on them in even more innovative, devious and secretive ways.
GM's decision to pull ads should have been a clear sign of the future struggles of generating ad revenues. Google made its money primarily through BtoB ad programs, not consumer focused marketing. The only way that I can see Facebook flourish is if ultimately its user-base is addicted to using it and willing to pay a monthly subscription fee to access it. Good luck on that one! The novelty is already wearing off. 83.1 price to earnings speaks volumes, too!
that makes no products and gives away memberships for free. In order for Facebook to make money, they must increase their numbers of subscribers. The number must keep rising and rising whit out stopping. This is not a reality.
You might also include:
Leader technologies vs. Facebook in which Facebook was found guilty on 11 of 11 counts of patent infringement. The verdict was set aside but an appeal is pending. The patent infringement claims stem from Facebook allegedly stealing the code for the engine that runs Facebook. If Leader's appeal is successful the penalties could be severe, even potentially shutting down Facebook's servers. Look into it because I have and this is what I've found. Please correct any of this if it is wrong but either way I would like to know more about it.

When it comes to understated cars, the B7 Audi RS4 is the flagship. Its wide stance doesn't scream for attention, but if you're lucky enough to get a second glance you'll find yourself staring, studying every high performance detail, from the massive brakes inside 19-inch wheels, to the flared fenders. It's lovely, but with a rated 420 hp it packs a meaner bite than its looks.
Going against logic, and fueled only by our passion for performance, we took this silver 2008 example to see how it could be improved with basic upgrades. To start, we took our PerformanceBox from VBox USA, and established braking and handling baselines.
First up was a set of lightweight wheels from Forgestar, wrapped with Continental SportContact 3 tires. This combination was ordered in factory 9x19 and 255/35-19 sizes for the wheels and tires, respectively. At two pounds lighter per corner, performance slightly improves in every department, but when compared to the previous Michelin Pilot Sport all-seasons on the factory Audi wheels, the softer Conti tires helped our 100-to-zero mph braking improve from an already impressive 383 feet to a breath-snatching 355 feet. This also showed in peak braking g-forces, with a 1.01g to 1.11g improvement.
The RS4's road holding prowess around our third-gear test turn also benefited from the new Conti shoes. A jump from an average peak 1.12g lateral acceleration to 1.16 confirms this.
Vehicle Data
Engine: 4.2-liter V8 FSI, 32-valve
Transmission: Six-speed manual
Mileage: 8,000
Current modifications: Forgestar wheels, Continental Conti Sport 3 tires
Dyno data: Dynojet 424x
Temperature: 73-82°F
Humidity: 16-25%
Test gear: Third
Peak power: 321 hp @ 7400 rpm
Peak torque: 268 lb-ft @ 3400 rpm
Temperature: 73° F
Humidity: 22%
3000-8000 rpm dyno
acceleration: 8.38 sec
Test Notes
The most notable part of the car is its direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 revving to a claimed 8250 rpm. But we're still determined to improve this.
To ensure no power spikes or dips from poor fuel or spark we filled up with good 92 octane fuel and drove to Modified by KC, our dyno and installation facility in the Midwest. There, we also swapped in a new set of O.E. NGK "R" sparkplugs ordered from Sparkplugs.com (part no. PFR7W-TG), which saved us around 25 percent off the dealer cost.
After several dyno pulls on MKC's Dynojet 424x dynamometer and using their OBD-II scan tool to monitor for proper intake and coolant temps, and taking note of total ignition advance, we established a baseline of 321 hp to all four wheels. Flat torque lovers will appreciate 268 lb-ft sustained from 3400 to nearly 6500 rpm.
Since there appeared to be no power differences between third and fourth gears, testing was done in third to limit the strain on the engine. The RS4 is equipped with a Sport button, which opens up a second chamber in the muffler system that's audibly evident. But we dynoed both ways, and while the throttle response improvement was evident, ignition values didn't change and, thus, neither did power output.
Last, although the car is advertised to have an 8250-rpm rev limit from the factory, the dyno showed fuel cuts out just under 8100 rpm.
Test 1
Peak power: 328 hp @ 7200 rpm
Peak torque: 274 1b-ft @ 3400 rpm
Max power gain: 13.5 hp @ 6100 rpm

Epigenetic transgenerational inheritance. Say that again? Those three "little" words refer to environmental exposures causing genetic changes that can be passed on to future generations.
These effects appear to be transferred via modification of DNA — modifications that can sometimes increase the risk of disease. As a study released last week shows, the increased disease risk can keep showing up through multiple generations.
PAN has done a lot to spread the word about neonicotinoid pesticides and their adverse impacts on bees. But there are other repercussions for widespread use of neonics too, as an increasing number of studies highlight. Adverse impacts on wild pollinators, birds and other wildlife from neonics have also been in the news lately.
Neonics are the most widely used insecticides in the world, finding their way into ecosystems through water, soil and insects other species rely on for food. These chemicals were released onto the U.S. market without regulators fully understanding their impacts, and scientists continue to uncover more unintended consequences — from harming honey bees to song birds.
After about 20 years of RoundUp use and 15 years of widespread planting of Monsanto's RoundUp-Ready GE crops, the efficacy of this herbicide is declining. Farmers are facing "superweeds" that can no longer be tamed by glyphosate, RoundUp's active ingredient. So now what?
Unfortunately, a new generation of crops engineered to resist mixtures of herbicide are waiting in the wings. As you've heard from my colleague Dr. Marcia Ishii-Eiteman, these new GE crops are completely the wrong response to this self-inflicted crisis. Meanwhile, researchers are raising new questions about the health and environmental effects of glyphosate itself.
"There's a perception that drift happens." That's what I heard an industry rep say when I listened in on a Kaua'i County Council meeting on pesticide issues last summer (before the landmark Bill 2491 passed). A perception of drift? Really?
If you've been following our work here at PAN you already know that pesticide drift is a problem. On-the-ground data from across the country leaves no question that drift happens — and that people in rural communities are being harmed. But did you know there's more than one kind? It's true. And right now, EPA is reviewing how to best assess the risks of the "other" kind of drift: volatilization.
Earlier this week, the industrial agriculture-backed Alliance for Food and Farming launched a new effort to challenge organic farming. And a few days ago, an article was posted on Slate underscoring many of the same points — challenging the benefits of organic food and farming, and downplaying the harms of pesticides to children.
We wholeheartedly agree with the Slate article author that eating fruits and veggies is important to children's health. But as I noted in a media statement yesterday, the fruits and vegetables children eat should provide nutrition to their bodies without exposing them to health harms that can last a lifetime.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
LMES is a great school. Both of my children have attended there and have excelled. I have yet to meet a teacher in the school that didn't love teaching. I love the school and so do my kids.
Wonderful school with a staff that really cares about the kids. My children are very happy there.
A beautiful school, with an amazing faculty and wonderful administration that really cares about your children. I've been thrilled and can't say enough amazing things about it. !
Before retiring principal gusenberg gave a new school in a small community a firm foundation in flourishing. Fourh child in and no complaints, minus a speech they didn't play from our president, but that is political. Overall gives a great chance for children to dream
The teachers at this school truly care about their students and work very hard to provide an academically stimulating environment. Expectations and accountability standards are set very high with homework and reading assigned nightly. Little has been spared in providing new, state of the art facilities which are enjoyed by students, parents and teachers alike.
This school has no challenging activities for gifted students. The principal said 'there is no gifted program here.' Therefore, if your child is gifted, even though it is a state requirement to provide individualized instruction, you will not get it here. The school is mostly interested in test scores.
Wonderful, nurturing school. Beautiful facility, wonderful teachers and great parent involvement! I have been very happy with the principal and how he has handled things with our kids over the years. He is very involved with the kids. Staff seems to know all the kids names. You definitely feel the love! The teachers put so much extra time into their school day for planning. Many are there way before the school day starts and leave many hours after the day ends.
Great school system. Newest in system. Principal could be stronger leader. My son was very happy here. Wish they introduced foreign language though. Excellent parental involvement.

This article originally appeared on The Huffington Post
At just 17 years old, Stevie Beale was paralyzed from the waist down in a tragic car crash that killed the car's driver — and Beale's best friend — Charlie.
"[After the accident] I thought I was doomed to my parents' house, to never have a boyfriend or never get married," Beale told Today.com. "I thought I was going to sit at home and rot away."
But after the accident, the Toledo, Ohio bride vowed to walk down the aisle on her wedding day, no matter what. And this weekend, the 24 year old did just that. With the help of a walker, Beale ambled down the aisle, a huge smile on her face, toward her groom, Jared VanAusdale.
Watch the video below!
VanAusdale told Today.com, "I was trying not to bawl like a baby in front of 300 people. Seeing her on the walker, reaching that goal that she swore she was going to hit, is something I will never forget."
In 2010, Rachelle Friedman Chapman was dubbed the "Paralyzed Bride" after a freak accident at her bachelorette party paralyzed her from the chest down. Chapman was unable to walk down the aisle at her 2011 wedding -- her father pushed her in a wheelchair -- but she spoke out in 2013 about life post-accident and offered some inspiring insights into her life, noting that she is still able to have children and would like to do so. "The spinal cord controls muscles so everything else is in working order. Once we get financially straight we are going to have one."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by @runswithjan best shorts ever these are my go-to shorts for long runs and, well... marathons! I have NEVER had an issue with chafing in these shorts! Good job adidas! May 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Fit C Nice Shorts I really love the color and style of these. They have a lightweight liner inside that isn't too tight like some running shorts. I'm 5'-7" and weigh 130 lbs. I ordered a small and cut the tags off before realizing I should have ordered an xsmall. They're pretty baggy, and because of the material (lightweight, but not cheap), they tend to fly up. Even if they fit better in the waist, they are longer than I expected, which is nice as well. Also, I don't run in these. I weight train in them. August 22, 2014
