LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2012—For leatherheads, August cannot come soon enough.
In football, there is no offseason. Quiet Summer July days have actually had a ton of news related to the gridiron. So with that, let's get to the business of football.
My avoidance of the Penn State scandal is not due to any blind loyalty toward any of the parties. This is a column about the National Football League, not college or high school games. However, the severity of the situation requires it be given some comments.
A new bombshell has come down in the form of the Louis Freeh investigation. Mr. Freeh has a reputation for being incorruptible and thorough. Mr. Freeh was the one who testified before Congress against his former bosses Janet Reno and Bill Clinton. He is about getting to the truth.
We now know that Jerry Sandusky raping underage boys was the tip of the iceberg. Top people at Penn State knew about it and said nothing. The entire civilized nation understands that Mr. Sandusky is a monster who should burn in Hades forever. It takes zero bravery to take that position. Yet other trains of thought against Penn State are more troubling.
Question of Whether Paterno Knew or Not
The new narrative is that Joe Paterno lied to Congress about what he knew and when he knew. Several Penn State employees have shown in their emails to have lied. They are all facing punishments of some sort. Yet the one problem is that there is no hard evidence that Coach Paterno lied. If so, Mr. Freeh has not released it.
This is where the hate mail starts pouring in. Let the emotions cool down, and let logic take over. Mr. Paterno did not know how to use email. The allegations that he lied are just that.
The response from many will be that there is "no way this could have gone forward without Paterno." Yes, there is. Despite his overwhelming power, it is highly possible that the others kept him out of the loop to protect him and give him plausible deniability. People fall on their swords far too often for powerful figures, from presidents to captains of industry.
It is very possible that Paterno was up to his eyeballs in the scandal. Yet that is not the same as having an email or a videotape. There is circumstantial evidence against Mr. Paterno, but no smoking gun.
Also, those who want to permanently abolish the football program at Penn State need to cool down. While the scandal is one of the most horrific scandals in all of sports history, this is not specifically a "football" scandal. Yes, the culture of silence involving football needs to change, but this was not about issues related to the game (steroids), player conduct (think "The Program"), or academic fraud.
This is a law enforcement matter. The NCAA needs to get out of the way and let law enforcement handle it. None of the current players had anything to do with the scandal, and they should not be collateral damage just because (justifiable) bloodlust has taken over. Until people have read the entire Freeh report, the proper thing to do is read it and make informed conclusions.
Judge Freeh Next Takes on New Orleans Saints
Now on to the NFL, where Louis Freeh is getting involved as well. The New Orleans Saints have been rocked not only by the bounty scandal, but by accusations that General Manager Mickey Loomis wiretapped the opposing locker rooms. The latter would be a felony.
Saints Owner Tom Benson brought in Freeh because he wants to get to the truth. A guy like Freeh is not brought in if the goal is to remain ignorant or whitewash the truth. Mr. Benson is doing the right thing. The wiretapping issue is a law enforcement matter. The bounty scandal was more a football issue. Commissioner Goodell rightly handed down sanctions for Bountygate, but any punishment he renders for wiretapping will pale in comparison to what the Feds would do.
Whether at the pro or college level, the message is loud and clear that football had better be cleaned up internally, or Congress will get involved. The very existence of football is at stake, and no amount of television ratings will prevent the empire from crashing down if people think the game is corrupt. This includes the game on the field, the behavior in the classrooms, and the behavior off of the field.
The one thing the Saints did right this week is give quarterback Drew Brees the contract he deserved. The five year, $100 million deal contains $40 million in guaranteed money the first year and $60 million guaranteed money over the life of the contract. The numbers are reasonable. Drew Brees right now is the very best player in football, and deserves it. The NFL is a meritocracy, and Brees earned his money. He now makes more money than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. This is currently justified.
What's the Story with Adrian Peterson?
Back to jurisprudence, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was recently arrested for resisting arrest. Yet this story is different from the "typical" athlete getting in trouble.
I met Mr. Peterson at the NFL Draft. The newly drafted players are instructed not to sign things. The fear is that those autographs will be sold on Ebay. When I was holding my football, a woman came up to me. She was Mr. Peterson's aunt. A lovely but stern woman, she insisted that I go up to him and have him sign it. She said that "He was raised right," and said, "You let me know if he doesn't sign that football."
Some of the other players signed nothing. Some signed one or two items. Mr. Peterson stayed and signed everything in sight. He was pleasant, humble, and determined to establish himself as a fan favorite. Later on that day his aunt saw me again and said, "I told you he would sign that football. He's a good kid."
Being a nice guy does not make Mr. Peterson innocent. Yet the situation just does not add up from a behavior standpoint. Mr. Peterson has hired a high-priced attorney that would normally be reserved if one is facing a murder charge. Mr. Peterson is being charged with a misdemeanor that would probably at most yield a small fine. The attorney is an elephant, yet the charges rise to the level of a mouse.
Mr. Peterson is going on the offensive and loudly protesting his innocence. Even under the strict NFL conduct policy, it is doubtful this situation would cause him to miss playing time. His endorsements seem safe. This man is about protecting his reputation. He is either the coolest customer on the planet, or it is quite possible he is innocent. Most people do not engage in a public defense of a very minor matter.
At the risk of going out on a limb, I believe Adrian Peterson. Nothing in his character suggests that he is a bad seed. He deserves the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully he is innocent, because if this type of young man could fool so many people, then the notion that all athletes are bad will just gain more credibility.
Another player in trouble with the law is Terrell Owens. He may be facing jail time for failing to pay child support. He has several children with different women. If Mr. Peterson is one of the most likable players in the game, Mr. Owens was one of the least. His famous crowing "I love me some me" was the tip of his narcissism. He was a locker room cancer, who burned bridges everywhere he went. This does not automatically make him guilty, but it certainly explains why people would not care if he rotted in jail.
Likability matters. Mr. Owen was bad for the game of football himself. While taking glee in his fall is too much, an absolute indifference to this man who hurt so many people during his career would be a fitting punishment. He keeps insisting that he is misunderstood. He is understood perfectly. He was a talented player who put himself above the team. The phrase "don't go away mad, just go away" applies here.
Junior Seau's Suicide May Save Future Lives
Lastly, the tragedy of Junior Seau could lead to something positive for future players. The former San Diego Chargers defensive hero committed suicide a few weeks ago at the age of 43. We still do not know if football had anything to do with his death. His family has made the painful decision to let scientists study his brain to see if he had any brain damage like former Chicago Bears hero and suicide victim Dave Duerson did.
The image of Mama Seau crying to the heavens on national television should be a stark reminder that this goes deeper than football. The ultimate parental nightmare is to see their child pre-decease them. Yet getting to the truth can possibly save lives in the future. Even in death, Junior Seau may help preserve life.
This has been a painful offseason for so many. August brings preseason games with the Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio, kicking everything off. While the issues of July must not be ignored, it will be good to get back to football being events on the field. Hopefully, it will stay that way not because the real world is ignored, but because the game does not give us more examples of tarnish.
Let's get back to football, and let's do it the right way, with hard, work, honor, and respect for the game and society at large.

We just tried this recipe this week and it is honestly outstanding from the perspective of the dressing. The grilled romaine part didn't do a whole lot for me and I would probably just skip that step as the dressing was a star! We literally scraped the bowl clean and I can't wait to make it again. It was wonderful on the lettuce, grilled chicken and steamed asparagus. I would chose this dressing over a store bought any day. Next time I'll probably double it and just make entree salads - 100% a keeper! Note: Use extra herbs (really any kind you want will do, I had parsley, chive & oregano ready from my garden) and several cloves (or one large elephant garlic clove) of garlic in this recipe. Great for a cookout / weeknight meal - Enjoy!
Grilled Romaine with Creamy Herb Dressing

Love, love, love this recipe! I've already made it two times in one week! From what I've read, others had trouble with the romaine or didn't grill it, but I actually thought it was the best part and did stay very crispy on the grill. I cleaned and halved the romaine head a few hours before grill time, and turned it cut-side down on some paper towels to drain. When it was time for grilling, I brushed the cut sides with olive oil and I also added salt and peper (before grilling). My husband threw them on for two minutes, and they came out perfect! Dressing was unbelievably tasty as well. I made it ahead of time and let it marinate a little so the garlic didn't have quite as much of a bite. I also cut the mayo portion in half and added low-fat sour cream with it to lighten it a little more. My husband doesn't like dill, so I added chives instead. It was a hit!

Made to recipe, prepping the dressing earlier in the day. Mixed reviews on grilled romaine, but it's always good to try something new. The dressing was great, assertive enough to complement the smokey greens. First course to CL's bison kebabs.
latmy52 Posted: 09/05/11
I made this recipe not too long ago. The dressing was amazing. My family doesn't normally like homemade dressings, but this was A-Ok. I skipped the step for grilling the romaine. That did not sound appetizing and I figured it would be soggy. I made homemade croutons from 100% whole wheat bread. I also grilled some chicken breasts drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with no-sodium salt substitute and fresh ground black pepper. I also added some grape tomatoes I sliced in half. It turned out great. This is great for a summer salad when it is hot outside. I will be making this again!!! Great recipe!!!
Katy27 Posted: 10/27/11
This was delicious. It was an easy healthy way to make wilted lettuce with a fun crispiness. The dressing was really tasty as well. Highly recommend!
veryslowcook Posted: 08/20/12
This is an impressive dish, but easy to make. I was excited to try a grilled romaine salad after we had one at a nice restaurant. I was worried that my gas grill wouldn't give it a nice smoky flavor, but we were so very pleased with the outcome! The dressing is fantastic -- I used dried dill and fresh basil, chives, and parsley; also cut lemon by half and used half FF mayo & half light sour cream.
JulieRae97 Posted: 11/20/12
Loved the dressing!
sirrah231 Posted: 06/30/13
This was so easy and so delicious! The dressing is really outstanding and the grilled lettuce was a nice change from standard salads. Definitely gave a gourmet twist to the meal. We also threw on some tomatoes and red onion. Don't be afraid to try grilling the romaine!
Hana1itzahki Posted: 03/30/12
I'm so glad I found this recipe online! I made it a few times over the summer but have some how misplaced the page that I tore out of the magazine. Can't wait to make it again!
foodieforpeace Posted: 06/14/13
This is a delicious recipe. We only made the dressing which was used on a mixed greens and vegetable salad. The fresh herbs and garlic made this special. Will make this again.
TraceyMCarter Posted: 06/15/14
Delicious and easy! If you don't have these exact hers just use two or three herbs that you have on hand and it works great.

No media folder!
I was downloading new ringtones and when I went to add them to the notifications ringtone folder the entire media folder is gone. Is there anyway to recover it or add a new one where I can link it to the messaging app and calls so I am not stuck with the ringtones it comes with? Or is there a soft reset where I can reset the phone and not lose my contacts? Thanks ahead of time.

Real Spells - The key is Focused Energy
Living energy is what we are. In order to focus that energy many people you objects that hold some significant meaning. These objects, be it a chalk circle on the ground or a "magic" wand hold no real "power". But what they do hold is the key to enable the practitioner to enter a mind set that allows the energy to be focused.

Curley Bill much the best in Downpatrick finale

Nina Carberry bided her time aboard Curley Bill (13/8 this morning out to 2/1) and when she unleashed the Heron Island gelding up the nearside rail inside the last, he exploded into top-gear to beat the always on the pace Bally Longford.
Winning owner/trainer, Noel Meade said: "We were very disappointed at Fairyhouse (2nd there to Expanding Universe), we thought he would win.
"Maybe we went a bit too soon there with him. You can blow a horse up in the last two furlongs.
"He'll go jumping now - he's like a rocket. He's a decent horse." (MG & EM)

Single-Origin Coffees
Single-origin coffee comes from one specific growing region. Like fine wine-growing areas around the world, coffees also have preferred growing areas where environmental conditions are perfect for creating premium coffee.
For instance, Antigua Guatemalan coffee comes entirely from the Antigua region, a premier coffee-growing area high in the mountains of Guatemala. Kenya Afrique coffee is grown at high altitudes in Kenya's Kirinyaga Valley. Even the slightest difference in growing altitude, climate, harvesting or processing conditions can account for flavor differences between coffees.
For the coffee purist, single-origins and varietals capture the essence of a particular region's unique characteristics.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son has been attending Growing Up Green since they first opened. This school is a gem in District 30. We love the philosophy of the school, the teachers are awesome and truly care about the kids.
My daughter is in second grade and adores her school. She loves learning, and speaks about all her school projects with great enthusiasm and engagement. She has had wonderful, caring teachers every year, who know how to make learning fun and meaningful. My son will be entering kindergarten this fall, and we are happy to have him join the Growing Up Green Community.
As the years go on, I am very unsatisfied. Most parents complain about the academic weaknesses of this school, this year they have added more staff and advisers but the school is so mismanaged and unorganized, it really doesn't help. They need to be more aggressive with their teaching methods and have a stronger curriculum. I wince every time I see the homework. This school lacks sufficient programs, variety, sports in non-existent and the After School Programs are ridiculous. It's a good school if you want a close-knit community but if you want an education don't set your foot in here!
Our son started Kindergarten last year and had amazing teachers and a great experience. This year he has great teachers and is having another GREAT year! Great friends, great school atmosphere he's excited to go to school and I'm excited he's in this school!
Great school, my son started kindergarten here this year, and I can really see progress.
My 2 sons goes to this school and what I love about this school is that you could so confident leaving your kids there every day. My older sin is on 3rd grade now and he is been there since Kinder and every year he is been such great progress coming back to school after summer. Since last year coming back on the first day of school was so hard but since last year thanks god for the help of everyone in school his progress are unbelievable he only suffer for the first two days which in the past will take him a month. My younger start Kinder and same thing happen to him with the anxiety of me leaving him there I am so glad that his both teachers in his class they love their students like their own children that for the past weeks he is no longer sad and crying after mommy leave him their. I loved my kids school for everything they are. I will highly recommend this school please try it and you will see it.
My child was accepted in this school. I like it because it is not to crowded. Looks this is a great school.
Teachers and staff in this school really care about kids and parents as well, very aproachable and always ready to listen. Specially got to appreciate it after my son went to camp this summer in one of Astoria's catholic schools. Teachers in charge of camp were rude and narrow minded. It will be so refreshing to go back to our school this fall and wonderful Growing Up Green community.
Parents should know that what i loved about this school is that any parent could b very involved with the teachers and school. They help parents and students. They give you a lot support for new students and regular students. My older son will be attending 3rd grade and my little one will be going for Kinder so excited.
Wonderful caring teachers. Parents have access to the classroom. Teachers are very approachable. A healthy holistic approach to education that is not all about test preparation.
Growing Up Green has proven to be a wonderful fit for our son and our family. We really value how the teachers and staff interact with us and with each other; they really model respect and how to be good members of a community. We value their methods of hands on learning and how they teach kids of ask and answer their own questions.
We are so lucky our daughter got in here! No more morning "illnesses" - she LOVES school again! At the end of last year (3rd grade in a different school) she was hating it. Now that she is at GUGCS she is rediscovering the joy of learning.
My son is just loving Kindergarten here. He has so much fun with the class pets, the frequent field trips and the daily specials (art, music, language, science lab, gym). We love the focus on social skills and science. Parents -- no, the entire family -- are made to feel extremely welcome anytime. (Not the case at all NYC public schools!) I agree that the principal provides strong, clear-headed leadership and sets the tone for their "responsive classroom" cultural approach, which is effective at keeping order through positivity, not yelling. It's heart-warming to see the kids help teachers keep the focus on learning. The biggest weakness is the old school and small courtyard but the staff makes the most of that shortcoming with garden boxes and sports equipment outside. Fingers crossed for a middle school and larger facility! Signed, Heather Moore, happy parent
When I walked into this school three years ago, I knew it was the place for my child and I was not disappointed. The academics are wonderfully engaging with an emphasis on science, hands-in discovery and team-building. The principal is one of the most dedicated administrators I've seen with an exceptional ability at hiring a great teaching staff. He continually works to lessen the teacher/student ratio. Just last month he added two more teachers to pull students out of classrooms for lots of small group work. My children are in 2nd and K and they absolutely love the school and I am amazed at what they are learning.
This is a great school with excellent teachers! The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. My daughter loves this school, she has learned so much and she never complains of being bored in school. The teachers are trully what make the school so special! They are very nice, caring, hands on teaching at it's best. Our family is very happy to be part of growing up green!
The school runs on all of the hard work of its teachers. They represent some of the best in the NYC system right now. Unfortunately they administration is ineffective at best, led by a substance-less Principal that fails to address problems with bullying, high staff turnover and high student - teacher ratio.
WE LOVE THIS SCHOOL. My daughter is in kindergarten. This school provides everything that I was hoping for for my child. The science program is wonderful. Animals in every room. A nurturing and supportive environment. All the staff knows all the kids names. Many strong field trips. Lots of parent involvement. Open school so parents can come whenever they want during any program. My daughter is reading and writing and has begun to LOVE reading. The teachers are amazing.
Yes they do have a nice "goal" about the green factor but GUGCS does not know how to handle disipline, they go to far for what most people with consider commun behevior of a child under 7 years old. Lack of effective prevetive action.
Excellent School. Amazing, engaging curriculum with lots of hands on learning & field trips. They have music, art, gym, computers and science lab twice a week. Students are having fun, so they don't realize how much they are learning. The teachers listen & care, we can contact them by cell & email whenever needed. And GREEN means more than just recycling. They are learning to be respectful, responsible members of the school community & the world. My child says "Great!"
My daughter is a 2.Grade student at GUGSC. And She loves it. Excellent teachers, strong curriculum.

Can Money Buy Happiness?
Maybe more cash does make people happier. Especially salient are analyses done by University of Pennsylvania economists Daniel Sacks, Betsey Stevenson, and Justin Wolfers. In their updated 2010 study, "Subjective Well-Being, Income, Economic Development and Growth," the three compare subjective well-being survey data from 140 countries with those countries' income and economic growth rates. The researchers find that within individual countries richer people are happier than poorer; people in richer countries are happier than people in poorer countries; and over time increased economic growth leads to increased happiness. "These results together suggest that measured subjective well-being grows hand in hand with material living standards," they conclude..

Jan 30 2013: Although everyone desires to be happy, the pathways people choose are varied (and not always successful). People frequently believe that making more money will increase their happiness. However, although the North America economy has grown steadily since the 1950's, happiness levels of North American's have not increased (Diener & Seligman, 2004). Also, after a person's basic needs have been met (food, shelter, etc.), the relationship between income and happiness is quite small (Howell & Howell, 2008). This leads to a simple, yet important question: if materialistic pursuits, those that are embodied by the Canadian or USA Dream, are not making people happier, then are the hours we spend pursuing better careers, nicer homes, and faster cars, in vain? The problem is that people are simply spending their money on the wrong things (literally). People can spend their money in ways which will make them, and others around them, happier—by focusing their expenditures on activities that satisfy their basic psychological needs. I think we as individual's give our own meaning to the word happiness.

* For all of the frustrated ones: there's a video walkthrough thread at We Create Stuff > Portal: TFV's forum, and some community help. Good luck :)
We started working on this project a couple of months ago, and now, it is finally done. Lately we've been working on this project none stop, acknowledging if we release it after the real Portal - we fail, and our test will be terminated ( ;). So yes, the last piece of code of this game was programed just a couple of minutes ago. Don't worry - those minutes were on bugs!
Portal: The Flash Version includes over 40 challenging, portals thinking levels, which features almost every feature the real game does, in 2d - energy balls, cubes, turrets and even the famous crusher from the trailer. The game also includes a console to mess around with after finishing the game, or just being frustrated by thinking with portals (Commands are posted in our forums)
Left mouse button - launch a portal.
A W D - movement
Q - launch a blue portal.
E - launch a yellow portal.
R - Close both portals.
F - pick up an object.

|Who Buys
Research by J.D. Power and Associates determined that among customers who leased their previous new vehicle, 76.4% leased their next new vehicle, while 19.4% financed the purchase of their next new vehicle with a loan, and 4.3% paid cash for their next new vehicle. Conversely, only 7.4% of customers who purchased their last new vehicle decided to lease their next one.
|Automotive News, 2013
According to research by Edmunds.com, an increasing number of younger car buyers have been attracted to lease deals because of the more easily understandable monthly payment terms and the simplicity of returning a vehicle after a set period of time -- as opposed to a fixed price that is complicated by a down payment and several financing options.
|Fortune, 2013

|Edmunds.com, 2013
|What They Buy
In 2012, brands with the highest share of lease transactions (as opposed to vehicle purchases) were Mercedes-Benz (54.2%) and BMW (46.6%).
|Manheim Consulting, 2013
ALG, which sets residual values for the auto industry, expects the average lease penetration rate for 25 volume brands it tracks to grow from 15.6% in 2012 to 16.2% by 2016.

|Automotive News, 2013
Through May of 2013, leasing accounted for approximately 25% of new cars sold.
|Edmunds.com, 2013
According to research by Swapalease.com, an estimated 10% of lease-holders would like to get out of their lease each year, because of changes in finances, lifestyle, etc.

The US semi-finalists for the 2011 Color Zoom Challenge
were announced moments ago and we just had to pass the information along!
This year, more than 244 entries were received in the three Color Zoom Challenge categories: Creative Colorist, Partner Colorist and New Talent.
I had the honor of being on the judging panel which included Emmy-Nominated Celebrity Stylist—Rachael Dowling, A-List New York Star and Celebrity Stylist—Ryan Nickulas, President of Carlton Hair International—James O'Reagan and Goldwell North American Guest Artists—John Simpson and Timothy Switzer.
The judging process was quite intense. After a briefing from John Moroney, KPSS VP of Education and Timothy Switzer, owner of Timothy and Co. Salon and Spa of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada and 2009 Color Challenge winner, the judges were sent to rooms where the entries were on display. The new judging system, designed by Moroney, made the process seamless.
I must say, there was not a "clunker" in the bunch. Just about every entry had flawless color…both in taste and presentation. There may have been a few questionable finishes in the style end, but for the most part, these Goldwell artists know what they are doing. The entries were quite impressive and the full day process was challenging but quite enjoyable.

Here's the real winner in the phone and tablet wars
Instead of Apple, Google or Amazon, invest in the company behind the screens.
By Michael Shulman
Writers and bloggers assault us daily with hundreds of views on who is winning the "phone and tablet wars." The phone war is the Apple (AAPL) iPhone versus Google (GOOG)/Samsung (SSNLF). The tablet war is Apple's iPad versus the Amazon (AMZN) Kindle.
Trying to digest all that analysis is exhausting and dangerous to the health of your wealth.
Forget about picking a winner. Instead, focus on the supplier to all the device makers, SanDisk (SNDK). Technically, SanDisk NAND flash memory chips may not be in all devices -- they are in many -- but SanDisk's royalty technology is almost everywhere. Last quarter, SanDisk's revenue grew 43% to almost $1.5 billion as memory chip prices bounced back.
More flash memory
Growth is not just coming from devices as we know them but devices that are changing. More phones and tablets round the world are using removable SD cards -- guess what SD stands for? More laptops use flash memory rather than hard drives. More enterprise servers and storage devices are using flash memory. SanDisk just spent $300 million or so acquiring a company that serves this enterprise market.
Historically, the memory chip market has ups and downs as supply outpaces demand and prices fall -- often very quickly. This has been less and less the case for NAND flash and prices for SD products have been rising. Another concern has been the cost of new fabs -- chip factories. SanDisk just cut a deal with Toshiba to jointly build a $4 billion fab, part of their joint venture that has been up and running for several years.
But the real story is growth in personal devices.
Just ahead: More tablets shipping than PCs
A report from IDC, the big dog in personal computer and device data, is a clarion call to move your money into something to do with the personal device sector:
- IDC estimates PC shipments will fall behind sales of tablets in the fourth quarter 2013 and projects that in 2015 more tablets will ship than personal computers.
- IDC sees the worldwide "smart connected device" market passing $2 billion in sales with revenues of close to three quarters of a trillion dollars. Throw in laptops using flash and this is an incredible growth market for suppliers such as SNDK. Yes, the market in a couple of years will be tablets plus smart phones plus laptops as flash memory will replace hard drives.
Undervalued and growing
What does this all mean for you, the investor?
- First, give up the Apple-Samsung-Google-Amazon headache -- stop trying to digest hundreds of headlines and reports every day. Besides, most of those opining about these companies know nothing about them, especially blow-dried broadcasters.
- The IDC numbers are very solid. "IWorld" devices are exploding in use. Smartphones now sell below $100, tablets below $200, netbooks below $300, laptops below $400 and so on. People want what they want when they want it -- in their hand, right now. Device purchases have surpassed the sale of personal computers in this calendar year. Serious double-digit growth is built into the market, and that means double-digit growth for SanDisk.
- SanDisk and other tech stocks are valued more on growth and operating margins than net profits. Growth is there and operating margins should increase as prices hold firm and demand increases.
Yes, SanDisk stock is hot, but so are tempers on Capitol Hill and that means nothing right now, either.
Just because a stock is hot that does not mean it is not fairly valued -- or undervalued. Given growth prospects for SanDisk, I believe it is undervalued.
What about the nonsense on Capitol Hill? The only event that would be a long-term issue for the market would be a default. If that happens, forget stocks; the only place to hide will be cash. So if you believe there will not be a default, you can be stock picker. Some 42% of stocks are now moving on their own, against or ahead of the indices, and SNDK is one of them.

Well Navigator, anyone who isn't 12 knows that SD is and forever has been an acronym for Secure Digital. It has never colloquially referred to SanDisk in the mind of any IT professional or technophile that I know. I am not debating whether SanDisk is the greatest vendor of such devices, or that they were one of the originators of the technology, but by inferring that SD stands for SanDisk the author shows that he is first naive about the subject and second a little arrogant by presenting such inaccuracy in a boastful manner. You don't look so good either for backing him up.
The Truth Shall Set You Free!!!
Hmm, yeah, except the only two tablets you mentioned as being in a war (iPad and Kindle Fire) do NOT have SD card slots.
I bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire, and regret it. No customization allowed, only Amazon-approved android apps can be installed (unless you go behind the scenes). A real android table is MUCH better, such as a Google Nexus (no SD slot) or a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (SD slot).
iPads and Kindles are for people who need to be handheld. Real Android tablets are for those who like to make their tablets their own.

Oh golly, look out world, Maci Bookout wants to get another tattoo. The Teen Mom star shared her Christmas wish list on Twitter and explained that all she wants is Channing Tatum, a tattoo, a vacation, a higher bullshit tolerance, and her own Starbucks maker. Fair enough, but may I suggest leaving "tattoo" off the list? Maci's already got some pretty, uh, unbelievable ink (as in, it's unbelievable to me that she thought a giant piece of paper on her back was a good idea), and I'm just not sold that she's making smart decisions when it comes to permanently marking her body. I mean, you've seen her existing tattoos, haven't you?
They're certainly, um, there, aren't they.
More from The Stir: 'Teen Mom' Kailyn Lowry Gets Huge New Tattoo -- but What Does It Mean, Exactly? (PHOTO)
Anyway, I just think maybe she should wait before going under the needle again. She should ask Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus how they like the tattoos they got in their younger years -- both stars will admit to having had some removed. All I'm saying is that a dream catcher seems REALLY COOL when you're 20, and maybe not so cool when you're 20 and a half.
Maci's not the only Teen Mom with a tattoo habit -- Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry loves getting ink almost as much as I love eating cheesecake in the dark, alone. She's got, like, 15 or so tattoos, including a giant forest-fairy-tale-like scene that takes up her entire back. She and Maci have that in common -- Ms. Bookout's back is also covered in ink. Hers has cupcakes and paper and script and obviously a lot of meaning, you guys.
Looks like there's no stopping Maci, or Kailyn either, for that matter, from getting more permanent body art, so the most we can hope for them is that they're happy with their choices now ... and forever.
To the tattoo parlor! (I guess.)
What do you think of Maci's tats?
Photo via mtv.com
Who cares if she wants to get another one. Its her body she get what ever she wants. I think her tattoos are great, and I am sure they also have some special meaning to her. Not everyone is going to like everyone else's tattoos. But as long as she loves them, that is all that matters.
Its her body not yours, why do you care just proves some people really like gossip, I do not have a problem with tattoos as long as their easy to cover up who cares?
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

Two Men, 3,000 Miles, One Country: Running Across America
How They Trained
To prepare their bodies to run almost 70 miles a day for 45 days, Ulrich started strength training in October 2007 and then worked to improve his balance, coordination, and speed. He runs about three hours a day during the week, and six to 12 hours a day on the weekends, gradually adding hours each day to build up his training.
Engle takes a more general approach. "I bike, swim, kayak, and do yoga," he says. "The goal is to get to the starting line healthy and from then on battle to stay in shape." He also runs every day for about three hours and six to eight hours on the weekends. He advises people that "time is more important than miles. It's easier to say 'I'm going to run for 90 minutes' than say 'I'm going to run 20 miles.'"
But just because they've both run marathons of more than 100 miles in the past doesn't mean they're not nervous now. They've suffered minor injuries like tendinitis and cramping while training, but Ulrich says it's good that the injuries are happening now and not during the run.
To keep his joints healthy and prevent more injuries, Engle relies on yoga. "It's out of my comfort zone and I'm not pretty to look at when I do yoga, but it's effective in maintaining my flexibility," he says. "My legs feel good, not creaky."

Nature has a way of speaking to us in a way that soothes and revitalizes. Sounds of the wind in various places create low volume tones that we barely hear. They have a certain beauty and randomness to them that are unique to nature. We've all heard the wind rustling the leaves, hitting our cars, and, even in its most raw form, moving up against our ears on the beach and in open fields, but have we ever really gotten a chance to hear what the wind would sound like if we analyzed it electronically?
The Powerhouse Pirates have done just that. We modified a simple kite to hold an accelerometer and programmed an Arduino to play tones based on the accelerometer's input. The result is the SPEAKR! (Singing Portable Electronic Arduino Kite – Remix!). If the virtual world had wind, this is what it would sound like. And the best part is that it's cheap to build and easy to adapt! We're going to show you how…

Dad Jailed for 'Abducting' His Own Kids
A lawyer breaks the case down for momlogic.
Christopher Savoie, 38, is imprisoned in Japan for kidnapping his children while they were walking to school with their mother, Norika Savoie. Back in August, his ex-wife had snatched the children from America and fled to Japan. Christopher has since been granted full custody by an American court.
We spoke with attorney Ron Brot, a lawyer who handled many international abduction cases, for more insight into this case.
"This case has as many red flags as you could ever have for a potential child abduction," he says. "Christopher had the suspicion that his ex-wife might try to abduct the children. He did everything he was supposed to do -- he went to court to report his suspicions, and for protection. But that's not to say that nothing else could have been done here."
Three things that were not done in this case that could have prevented the outcome, according to Brot, are as follows:
• In March, Savoie could have requested a court order in Japan consistent with the one he had in place in the U.S., but he did not do that.
• Christopher didn't get his kids' passports BACK when his ex and their children returned from a summer vacation to Japan. She fled with the kids two weeks later.
• In some states, you can even require a bond before a parent takes the kids on an international vacation. Savoie had the option of requesting that bond. That way, he would have a fund to help cover the astronomical cost of international litigation in Asia.
Brot says that Savoie went about getting his kids back the wrong way. "I understand his desperation and emotionalism, but that doesn't mean what he did was right," he says. "Re-kidnapping his children has landed him in jail, and just complicates an already complicated situation."
Now Christopher faces up to five years for the attempted kidnapping of his own children.
Most children who are abducted are taken by family members. Brot says that if you're worried that your soon-to-be ex might abduct your child, there are some steps you can take:
• Beware of dual citizenships. These are a red flag that you may be dealing with a possible future abduction.
• During a divorce, if you run the table and make your spouse feel like they have nothing to lose, they may do the unthinkable because they have nothing to lose. If your spouse ever threatens to take your children, that threat cannot be taken lightly. (Christopher's ex at one point had said: "You have no idea what I'm capable of.")
• Make sure you are using appropriate lawyers who will make sure the proper orders are issued -- such as an order that your spouse can't leave the state, for instance, or the country without court permission. (Savoie had this -- but didn't obtain the same order in Japan, which might have helped.)
• Retain originals of your child's birth certificate and passport.
• Register your children into the U.S. Department of State Passport Services Lookout System. The registration will enable you to be contacted and informed if anyone applies for a new or replacement U.S. passport for your child. The system will also alert all national passport agencies and U.S. embassies and consulates abroad if a parent registers an objection to the issuance of a passport for the child.
• Have your local law-enforcement agency fingerprint your child.
• There are many GPS tracking devices on the market now that you can place in a child's backpack, or ones that are implanted in their shoes, that you may want to consider. "We're not to the point we're going to implant our children with microchips, but we do LoJack our cars ... aren't our children more important than our vehicles?" Brot asks.
Our thoughts go out to the family at this time. Do you think Christopher should be in jail for trying to "abduct" his own children? Comment below.
Hi all, - came across your current website by chance whilst drifting round the net this evening, and pleased that I did! I like the design and style and colours, but I have to point out that I'm having problems when it loads. I'm making use of Shiira 1 web browser for mac, and the menu doesn't line up fully. i am fairly certain I've made use of the equivalent layout on a client's website, but the menu seems alright on mine. I have an idea the error is at my end and I guess it's time to change for a better one!
Keep up the superb piece of work, I read few articles on this website and I conceive that your weblog is real interesting and holds bands of great info .
I must admit that your site is very interesting. I have spent a lot of my spare time reading your content. Thank you a lot!
I got what you mean , thankyou for posting .Woh I am delighted to find this website through google.
Dude, you should be a writer. Your article is really interesting. You should do it for a living

It's no secret Memphis is home to some of the worst credit ratings in the country. If you're in debt and want to get out there are options.
Emmy Stricklin learned about one of them when she downloaded her free money management application called Credit Karma. "It brought everything into light. I typed in my information. It said these are all the cards open. Any loans open in your name. This is how much you owe on each one and this is where they put you," she said.
Within six months, Stricklin says she was able to cut her debt in half. She says she was also able to get a free copy of her credit score through her app, something the financial experts say is the first thing you should do if you want to get your debt under control. "It shows where you stand," said Bruce Hopkins who is the president of the West Tennessee region of First Tennessee Bank. Hopkins says most banks will provide you with some sort of free credit counseling and that free credit report. "There are a lot of people who aren't aware of that" he said.
Payment reminders are also usually free. Stricklin says she sets hers up through the app on her phone. Most credit card companies will email you a reminder if you sign up. "Sometimes I completely forget that I had a bill due and about 5 days before it's due my phone lets me know it's time to pay," Stricklin said.
Hopkins says you might want to consider another option. "In Memphis, there's a wonderful program. It's called the RISE foundation. It was created in 1999," he said.
"I'm glad he said that because basically the work we do really helps a lot of low income families move forward," said Linda Williams with the RISE foundation. At the RISE foundation, anyone who lives in Shelby County can get free financial help, sometimes in a classroom. "We try to help them first to look at what their expenses are and first look also at their income coming in. If they don't match, that means something needs to happen," Williams said.
If you qualify for public housing or the earned income tax credit, you can take part in what's called the "save up program." It's also free. "For every dollar that they save, we match it with two dollars up to $2,000, which means they can have $3,000 for an asset purchase," Williams said.
Williams says she sometimes refers clients to Clear Point Financial Solutions. Free credit counseling is available there too, but it's usually offered over the phone. "We go through the budget of the monthly expenses that the client has and we make suggestions and recommendations," said Cynthia Hampton. Hampton says her staff also coaches you on how to deal with your creditors. She says all counselors there are certified and they're even approved to offer free housing counseling. If you can't make it to them, they'll come to you. "We give them free presentations, we will bring giveaways for each client as well as the information," she said. Giveaways that include pens, cups and even chip clips.
As for Emmy, she says she plans to be debt free by December.

Time Interviews Joss Whedon and Neil Gaiman(Filed under: Buzz)
Time magazine interviews Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon and comic book creator Neil Gaiman. Both have movies coming out this Friday, Whedon's Serenity and Gaiman's Mirrormask.
Gaiman talks about his blog, his Sandman comic book, and his fantasy novel Anansi Boys. Whedon talks about Wonder Woman. They both talk about the rise of the nerds.
And they also talk about the need to end something when it's over. For Whedon that seems to be Buffy and for Gaiman it was Sandman, a comic that ended while it was out-selling everything else. (And Whedon says Serenity is different because he never had a chance to tell the story in Firefly.)
Gaiman chimes in comparing writers to otters:
I saw a lovely analogy recently. Somebody said that writers are like otters. And otters are really hard to train. Dolphins are easy to train. They do a trick, you give them a fish, they do the trick again, you give them a fish. They will keep doing that trick until the end of time. Otters, if they do a trick and you give them a fish, the next time they'll do a better trick or a different trick because they'd already done that one. And writers tend to be otters. Most of us get pretty bored doing the same trick. We've done it, so let's do something different.

Stop-Motion Animation in Corpse Bride and Wallace & Gromit(Filed under: Animation)
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and the Wallace & Gromit adventure The Curse of the Were-Rabbit have brought stop-motion animation back to the big screen. With the rise of computer animation stop-motion has taken a back seat, but it's not a lost art form.
Stop-motion involves moving photographing still objects and moving them one frame at a time. A six second sequence can take a week to film. But the hands-on art form has its own charm and creates a unique visceral quality to the finished product that you don't get with hand-drawn or computer animation.
"Corpse Bride" was created using slender puppets made of rubber, with metal skeletons so intricate the filmmakers hired jewelers to help craft the tiny gears and joints. Miniature cranks in the puppets' ears control their facial movements, enabling animators to create remarkably lifelike smiles, frowns and other expressions.
The "Wallace & Gromit" characters were sculpted of clay, with metal skeletons beneath. Animators had a variety of mouths they would swap on to the characters to mimic speech, each simulating the shape of the lips for different phonetic sounds.

Firefly/Serenity: The Little Show That Could(Filed under: Buzz)
Rarely does a canceled TV show go anywhere. Though that's changing. Star Trek is probably the prime example, with the canceled TV show that spawned an entire universe of spin off shows and movies. Lately Family Guy had success on DVD and returned to primetime and also got to do their own movie.
This Friday the canceled sci-fi/western TV show Firefly makes its big screen debut as Serenity. Created by Joss Whedon of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame, the series came back from extinction.
"It's extraordinary and it still surprises me to sit here today and talk about the movie," says Sean Maher, who plays Simon. "Now that it's done and people are loving it, and it's getting this wonderful response, it continually surprises me. It's like we're this little show that could."
Serenity is not just the TV show on a bigger scale. It's also not necessary to be familiar with the TV series in order to get the movie.
"I worked for a long time to come up with something epic enough to be a Universal movie and not just a glorified episode of Firefly," says Whedon. "I wanted to make a movie that made me feel or made people feel the way I felt the first time I saw the first Star Wars."
That's a lot of hype to live up to, but we'll see what happens when the movie opens on Friday.

Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story(Filed under: Animation)
While Family Guy has already returned to Fox after being canceled, the show is also entering the direct to DVD market with a completely uncensored movie, Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story. IGN interviews Alex Borstein, who voices Stewie's object of hatred, Lois Griffin, about the movie and how it came to be. It seems Fox actually wanted to do the movie first and then consented to bring the series back to prime time.
Borstein explains why Stewie is the center of attention:
Well, I think it was always kind of a given that it was going to be Stewie or Brian. Stewie's kind of our star, I think, so we couldn't not do it without him. I think it makes for the best kind of story � and because it's Stewie, anything's possible. With Lois and some of the other characters, you kind of have to stay true to some modicum of reality. But with Stewie, sky's the limit. He's a baby who can talk, who can walk, who can fly, he can drive � he can do anything. So I think it's the best kind of movie star you could want� He can do his own stunts.
Borstein also comments on how raunchy the Family Guy movie will be without FCC restrictions:
It's pretty filthy! I have to admit, it's filthy. I'm going to probably have to warn my mother before she sees it. I don't know� I feel as long as it's done in the spirit of comedy and entertainment, I'm all for it. I have no point in my system or morals where I say, "This is too far."
Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story comes to DVD on September 27.

Napoleon Dynamite vs. Bill Gates(Filed under: Inspired)
On Tuesday software giant Microsoft screened a spoof video of Napoleon Dynamite featuring Bill Gates and actor Jon Heder as Napoleon. The video shows Napoleon and Bill Gates working together (clad in similar brown suits), having a slapping match over tater tots and dancing. Yes, Bill Gates dancing.
Apparently Microsoft often shows self-deprecating video spoofs like this one, and as in the past, the videos are rarely released for whatever reason. Though with the popularity of Napoleon Dynamite I wouldn't be surprised if this one makes it out somehow.
Update: And sure enough, versions of the video are out there. Not the greatest quality, but it's something: Longhorn Blogs has it up on iFilm and Paul Thurrott has a few clips (links via Scobleizer).

Tim Burton on Corpse Bride and His Fascination with Death(Filed under: Buzz)
ComingSoon.net has an interview with Tim Burton that covers the director's latest work, the animated movie Corpse Bride which comes out next week. As for his apparent fascination with death, Burton says:
I think dealing with the undead comes from growing up in Burbank, I think. It's sort of a suburban "Night of the Living Dead" during the day. I always liked monster movies, and I'm always fascinated by, again growing up in a culture where death is looked upon as sort of a dark subject and then living so close to Mexico where you see the Day of the Dead skeletons and it's all humor, music and dancing and sort of a celebration of life, in a way, and that always felt more like a positive approach to things. So I think I always responded to that, more than just this sort of dark, unspoken cloud in the environment I grew up in.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip the meat in the flour and spice mixture. Dip the breast into the eggwash (4 eggs & 8 tbsp water) and then a final time into the flour and spice mix, pressing the mix into the meat to get good contact.
Heat a skillet on the stove with about a half inch of canola oil covering the bottom. You will want to carefully regulate the temperature here so that the chicken does not brown too quickly. The thinness of the breast meat practically guarantees that it will be fully cooked by the time the outside is browned. I find just below medium heat works well. I use a burner setting of about 4 1/2 out of 10 on the dial and fry them gently for about 4 or 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on a wire rack for a couple of minutes before dipping the cooked breasts into the Honey Garlic Sauce. Serve with noodles or rice.
Honey Garlic Sauce
In a medium saucepan add:
2 tbsp olive oil
3 – 4 cloves minced garlic
Cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but do not let it brown. Add:
1 cup honey
¼ cup soya sauce (low sodium soya sauce is best)
1 tsp ground black pepper
Simmer together for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Watch this carefully as it simmers because it can foam up over the pot very easily.

Transparent version of my secret santa drawing for this community, because I really like transparent pngs (and really dislike drawing backgrounds).
It is also a vague reference to my biker ladies comic.
I spent too much time on this panel, so here it is again for you kids who like out of context kissing
In this segment of The Legend of Mako, Mako passes the buck.
Also EVERYONE LAUGH AT HOW BAD I AM AT DRAWING KISSES YEAH GO ON
It's STUPID COMICS TIME AGAIN
I call this, 'The Legend of Mako,' part one of WHO KNOWS HOW MANY but I have enough ideas for two or three more of these comic sets. Yes, instead of scanning those mako comics I mentioned forever ago straight from my sketchbook I went out of my way to rewrite and redraw them into two-row chunks. I don't know if that makes it any more or less funny.
*translation: SEE IF I CARRY YOUR PASTY BUTT ACROSS THIS CITY AGAIN
So basically the whole comic I just posted was a setup for my favourite panel
Hey guys it's STUPID COMICS TIME
So basically I wanted to draw actual biker babes Asami and Korra, and then the rest of it kind of flowed from my mind in this wave of terribad jokes. And as usual all my jokes are the same joke, that being, 'this doesn't make any sense.'
Ahh I remember making this joke a long time ago in the Naruto fandom.
Good times.
Coloured this bit for kicks
Aw yeahhh
I present to you, the worst Mako faces known to man.
Philosophy lecture drawings always contain so much weirdness, it's great. And maybe a little terrifying.
While all you cool kids are off to comiccon I am here at home drawing dumb comics.
Seriously though Mako's coat is like some weird pseudo-hanbok thing and I can't decide if it looks good or not. STRUT YOUR STUFF MAKO
(Also the greenish scarf featured here is based on one that I own but have never worn, because it looks…questionable. And lumpy.)

I didn't read the article as well as I should have, so I didn't realize he was married. I'm well aware that woman can make money and support a family.
I know I'm ignorant and short sighted, but I'm well aware that mental disorders can't just be "fixed". I simple mentioned a hope that he was in professional help. Kalez writes that he is, and I get a very positive feeling by his comment.
Xbox+tv+WoW may be rich by world standards, but it doesn't tell me much by U.S. standards, which is where I assume he lives.
I was just just making a devils advocate observation about MMO games being a substitue for RL social interaction. No need to make such defensive comments.

JO's take on incident with Howard: "It didn't necessarily start with that particular play. It started with a couple elbows that happened that I didn't really like too much. This game is a very emotional game, and I think sometimes you react and sometimes it can be good for the team, sometimes it can be bad for the team." #Celtics #Magic

Topic - Jacket descision - help please!
Alex_RhodesUK - on 02 Jun 2013
I'm upgrading my outdoor gear and have hit a decision point with regards to my jacket choice. I've shortlisted two Gore-Tex Pro jackets, but need a little help:
• Mountain Equipment Morpheus Jacket RRP Ł240 (http://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/the_gear/clothing/waterproof/morpheus_jacket---566/ )
• Mountain Equipment Kamchatka Jacket RRP Ł290 (http://www.mountain-equipment.co.uk/the_gear/clothing/waterproof/kamchatka_jacket---648/ )
Due to particular negotiations & deals, I've managed to find a supplier who is offering the Kamchatka for essentially the same price as the Morpheus, so my gut instinct would be to accept this. However, an issue has crossed my mind if anyone could help?
The styles of the two jackets are VERY different, aimed at two different market sectors: Morpheus for general UK hillwalking, Kamchatka for Alpine mountaineering. A good example of how the two constructions differ is in the presence of a 'storm baffle' over the main front zip of the Morpheus to keep out the relentless UK rain. This is absent in the Kamchatka, with just YKK aquaseal zips. My question here is will this really be of significance to me?
My current situation is as follows:
• Avid UK hillwalker with regular trips to Welsh & Scottish mountains in all weathers
• Competent skier and off piste skier in the Alps 1-2 times/year
• Looking to start UK winter walking (e.g Munros in winter)
• Planning to gain Alpine Mountaineering experience in c.1 year's time in Mont Blanc range

PostalPix CEO Michael Sarlitt sat down with our Tech Ninja, Tshaka Armstrong, to talk about a very compelling service which allows iPhone users to ship hard copies of their iPhone photos directly to themselves and loved ones.
Currently iPhone only with an Android app on the way, PostalPix is simple as: load the app, select the pix, pay for the pix and they ship! At least that's what CEO and Co-Founder Michael Sarlitt told us when he gave us a demo of the service. And apparently he has some happy customers if the online reviews are any gauge of the service's quality. What we liked most about the end product was the aluminum option which is a beautiful mounting and appears to be very durable.
For more information, check out the service online at www.postalpix.com and by searching for postalpix in the Apple App Store.
