New college presidents are appointed at The Santa Barbara & Ventura Colleges of Law and Saybrook University. TCS Education System welcomes a new senior vice president.
CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO, and SANTA BARBARA/VENTURA, Calif., July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- TCS Education System (TCS Ed) is pleased to announce exciting leadership changes at the nonprofit consortium as well as at two of its colleges.
Deborah Markos joins TCS Ed as senior vice president for student strategies and innovation, leading all aspects of the student life cycle for the higher education system's five colleges-The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Pacific Oaks College & Children's School, The Santa Barbara & Ventura Colleges of Law, Dallas Nursing Institute, and Saybrook University. Markos has significant higher education experience and expertise, having held senior leadership positions within the National University System and most recently as the Southern California president of Argosy University.
"Today's higher education environment is increasingly challenging and TCS Education System needs to be better positioned to meet these headwinds by heightening focus on the student life cycle," said Dr. Michael Horowitz, founding president of TCS Ed since 2009. "The addition of Deborah Markos in this new position will allow us to better serve our 7,000 students and 11 campuses to further our mission of creating global change agents."
"I look forward to joining the TCS Education System family and working with each institution to do what this organization does so well-graduating highly trained, socially responsible professionals who are inspired to make a significant impact on the world," said Markos, who will divide her time between the TCS Ed System headquarters in Chicago and the system's five colleges.
TCS Ed has also welcomed new presidents at two of its colleges. In June, Saybrook University and its board of trustees announced the appointment of Dr. Nathan Long as its next president. Outgoing Saybrook president Dr. Mark Schulman will transition to an executive leadership position at TCS Ed later this year, taking on a role to advance strategic initiatives.
A new president has also been appointed at The Santa Barbara & Ventura Colleges of Law (COL). Dr. Charles McClintock, an accomplished professor and dean who has served on the COL Board of Trustees as well as the Substantive Change committee of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), took the helm as president on June 16. Heather Georgakis, J.D., who led COL as president for 13 years, continues her role as Dean and Professor of Law, a move that allows her to focus more exclusively on academic programs and student success.
"TCS Education System was founded to become a game-changer," said Dr. Horowitz. "As we embark on the next chapter in our journey with these changes in place, together we will continue to reimagine higher education and forge new paths that will answer the call to prepare qualified practitioners positively impacting communities locally and globally."

LEWES, Del.- The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is investigating a boating accident involving the Lewes Fire Department's fire and rescue boat on the night of July 4.
DNREC sources say the Lewes Fire Department's million-dollar vessel collided with a boat not equipped with lights off Lewes Beach.
Lewes fire officials said no one was hurt in the accident, but the department's fire and rescue boat might have been damaged.
Delaware State Police said they have assisted DNREC in its evaluation of the rescue boat by sending their scuba team to survey the hull.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing. Lewes fire officials said the fire and rescue boat is operational and ready for use in the event of an emergency.

Our Man in the Field:
Knowing your limits in the world of security systems implementation
I was fired from a job. OK, I wasn't totally removed from the job, actually the portion I was relieved of is the portion that I had no business taking in the first place. I know, public scrutiny says that the last thing I ever want in the public eye is that I may have been fired by someone. God forbid that I did a lousy enough job that it would deserve firing me, especially in an industry where my reputation could be damaged. However, the lesson learned ... again, is that there was a time in the job where I could have said "No" and avoided the net result.
So what happened? I started a job with a client as a subcontractor ... a simple job ... a job well within the expertise of my background and training. I was to review the current and existing CCTV system, make suggestions for upgrades and improvements, design the specifications for the upgrades and turn them over to be put out for bid. It was a good job for me. However, as the job went forward, the customer continued to throw things on the table that were not so much beyond my expertise as much as they were beyond my ability to perform. I am a small company and do not have the man power necessary to fully facilitate all portions of a large job by myself. I offered on more than one occasion to subcontract these "new requests" out. I even used firm language, at least at first.
"This is not what I do."
"This is not my expertise."
"There are people that can do this better."
"I know them all, I could suggest someone."
"OK, I guess I could manage it for you."
The bottom line is that I caved. I took on what I knew I couldn't handle well and proceeded to do the best that I could. The net and expected result is that I spent so much time distracted by all the little things that I fell behind. Not just on the job at hand, but on a lot of other work that I do. I literally worked all day and night for weeks on end and produced a third of what I could have or should have had done in the same amount of time. The worst part is that I was subcontracted into this job for my expertise in design. However, the whole fault is not mine alone. My employer, the client, also dropped the ball, by his own admission, by not intervening and stopping the customer from stacking work on top of me. There were multiple conversations, emails and conference calls between the client and I that followed the old path of "You can do it" ... "your doing great" ... "this stuff is looking really good."
So I was fired. My client was horrified that he had been asked by the customer to recommend someone else to manage the project. He was equally horrified by the idea of having to call me and let me know that this portion of the project was being taken out of my hands. And when the conversation first started out between us, I felt the pit of my stomach wretch. I have never in my life been fired. I have never been let go. I have never been told that the work I was doing or had done was sub-standard. This has always been a great point of pride to me. However, as the conversation between my client and I continued, I realized exactly what was being done and I suddenly felt a great relief. The customer was not rejecting my designs or suggestions. The customer was dissatisfied that the job was not being managed well. And frankly, despite my best efforts, it wasn't being handled well by me or my client. I suddenly found myself standing in a mixture of feelings. I was almost completely happy because the customer had finally decided to hire a reputable firm to manage all of the portions of the job that I was not qualified for. Luckily, the work that I produced toward the design was not trashed, but remains in tact with full compliments from the client, the customer and the new leaders. So, I remain on the team doing what I do best designing and writing job specification. My client could not believe that I was saying thank you for this move. He was worried that I would be angry and walk off the job or that I would throw it all back into his face and make it his fault, his problem and his nightmare.

Café de Flore Reviews
You may not ultimately agree with Valée's big spiritual pay off (it may be interpreted as a mere excuse for a middle-aged man to have an affair) but it's undeniably gripping, creative, and brash cinema.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Café de Flore very much floored me and its enigmatic charm continued to weasel its way into my mind long after it was over.
Paste Magazine
As abstract as the film is in theory, it is brought together with the conclusiveness of finishing a puzzle with no missing pieces.
Full Review | Original Score: 8.8/10
Affectionate, sexy, thought-provoking, devastating, beautiful, bittersweet, life-affirming... Cafe de Flore is all that, and more. See it, listen to it, believe it.
Spirituality and Practice
A moving drama about how love is refined through troubles in the lives of a devoted mother in 1969 Paris and a middle-aged man in 2011 Montreal.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
A well-acted, visually arresting and artfully structured romantic endeavour.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Birmingham Post
Think of a fusion of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Crash, The Lovely Bones and The Tree of Life.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Radio Times
Haunting and heartbreaking, director Jean-Marc Vallée's romantic drama is an electrifying multilayered experience.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5
Daily Express
A challenging, heartfelt but often confusing drama that seesaws between the Paris of 1969 and contemporary Montreal.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
As these parallel narratives unfold, separated by time and space but conjoined by their shared motifs of love, loss, jealousy and obsession, hints emerge of other, less strictly thematic connections between them.
This is a superbly acted drama that packs a powerfully emotional punch, though a late-blooming plot development ultimately stretches credulity and threatens to undo the film's dramatic impact.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Time Out
Whatever its flaws, in the moment this is one to set the film-lover's pulse racing.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
What Culture
Drama so perfectly wrought is hard to come by. Vallée and his stellar cast have carved out a challenging, emotionally rich film which is not shaken easily.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Matt's Movie Reviews
It's themes of spirituality, religion and love eternal in an increasingly secular and jaded world is wonderfully presented and touching in its tangibility, although it often ventures into brazen territory.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
2UE That Movie Show
Café De Flore is a tragic, beautiful tale of love remixed through time; where the chords resonate true in every remixed incarnation.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
It is a beautiful, accessible work of romantic film artistry.
The Vine
Vallee tells the stories in an impressionistic way; Antoine's side of things occasionally verges on Tree of Life territory.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Playful, painful, willfully strange, deeply emotional and deliberately, delightfully obscure at times, Café de Flore, from French-Canadian writer-director Jean-Marc Vallée (C.R.A.Z.Y.), is a puzzle-film par excellence.
At the Movies (Australia)
There's something quite haunting about the film, and perhaps more than one viewing is required to sort it all out.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Herald Sun (Australia)
Cafe de Flore lays out an open-ended obstacle course for heart and mind. Stay the distance and so much will stay with you for some time.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Maclean's Magazine

text: Ladies and Gentlemen Paintballers .. meet the New Ego Prime .... It's all well and good bringing out something new with all its attendant advertising exclaiming all sorts of stuff that in normal circumstances amounts to jack sh!t. People tend to exaggerate their claims of performance and in some cases lie their fat ass off. And so, what is it exactly I've got here? I have an Ego11 that shoots more accurately, that's what I got … Now, most people know Jack Wood, he's the co-creator of all of Planet's top markers; he is also one of our industry's most respected individuals not just for his engineering expertise but also for his integrity .. He was about the most qualified person I could think of and so it was to him I turned to conduct the testing of my new Ego Prime. He compiled respective tables of data, the first relating to the fps variance of a standard Ego11 … in this test he shot around 50 balls and marked down their respective velocities with the use of a calibrated chronograph. He then went onto duplicate that velocity test with my new Ego Prime. The new Ego Prime performed well, much better than I or anybody else had anticipated; it's no secret I was pretty surprised when the results came back. At this point it might prove useful to explain the area of a marker's operation I was focused upon. It's long been known that at high velocities the flow of air in a paintball gun becomes disordered and turbulent as it transitions thru the marker. The science of fluid mechanics underwrites this phenomenon and so I was on firm ground as long as I understood the subject, and luckily I did. As it travels from the air-tank to the back of the ball it undergoes many transitions and during those transitions, it will tend to produce a chaotic air flow in terms of its expansion through the gun. Generally speaking, this gas expansion eventually finds its way down the barrel thus propelling the ball outward but what's important here is the flow characteristic of that air behind the ball. Fluid mechanics dictates that if you can reduce the disorder of the flow, you will improve upon its conformity and therefore its predictability. It's actually easier said than done as I found out but after extensive testing, I did come up with a design modification to two components that provided the optimum effect on the marker's performance in terms of its airflow through the marker. The new components reduced the somewhat chaotic air flow delivered to the back of the ball and in so doing; it gave the ball a more uniform acceleration and flight path. At this point, it might be best to explain exactly what laminar flow is; the laminar flow is what describes an air flow that has been streamlined and has its layers all moving in the same direction with no significant turbulence. This is what my new Ego Prime gives you the paintballer, no bs, no exaggeration, that's what it does. I had always suspected I could improve the laminar flow characteristics of the marker but what I didn't know was just how much effect it would have … the data I will now present shows you how much of an effect it has but just to make sure you have a good handle on what's going on here, I wanna put this data into some form of practical context. The main determinant in a marker's accuracy will always be the ball you use and the outside conditions i.e. the wind effect experienced through the ball's trajectory… and of course your skill as a shooter. I can do nothing about the paintballs, the wind or your skill level but what I can do is give you the best possible chance of translating your skill level to more accurate shooting. And with that in mind, what I can say for sure is .. with all things being equal, this new Ego Prime shoots more accurately .. as to how much? Let's take a look at the data I will now present:- But what does this data actually say? Well, first off, this data hasn't in any way been massaged, changed or fabricated. These are the tables Jack Wood drew up as a consequence of his testing procedures. And unlike a lot of the data presented on TV where they state something like 87% of women chose this hair wash over that, and in brackets they add [91 people tested] – what they don't tell you is, they will have trialed many batches of 91 people [and other sample numbers] and they just cherry-picked the best results to put on TV. And in some cases, I am sure some of the batches tested would have presented data that countered any idea their product was superior; they just chose not to use that data. I haven't done that … these are the results for the tests Jack did … end of .. duplicate them if you want, do what you like; it doesn't change the fact this data was collected and presented with a 100% reliable procedure and presentation. I think Jack is planning to do more tests and as and when he does, I'll present the results. Now, below is the data presented in graphical form for you techos :- Now, what does this graph really mean? It can be seen the darker Ego Prime curve is higher and thinner which basically means the shots were less spread around the mean…basically, we had a reduced set of shots that varied less in terms of fps from the average If the FPS spread variance is reduced in the Ego Prime, then this means two things, you can push the 300 limit [or whatever the event limit happens to be] significantly more and be confident you won't go over, and it also, perhaps more importantly, must mean the Ego Prime shoots more accurately … if the fps variance is reduced as is shown in the Ego Prime curve then this means more shots were closer to the optimum i.e. more of the shots ended up where you aimed. This is an edge that serious ballers just cannot ignore if they truly want to compete at the top. The Ego Prime is exactly what it says on the tin ….. It's the best, most accurate out there - it's Prime time guys, it's Ego Prime. And so, if you have any questions or queries concerning the New Ego Prime, just click on the following link and ask away, you can also order them from here as well ... Sales .

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

What's in a name? Highland Park 1977 Bicentenary whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Highland Park 1977 Bicentenary whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Sweet, tangy and rich with heather honey, peat smoke, watermelon, cut grass and seaspray.
Palate: Yummy! Medium-bodied, but with a big dollop of honey, spicy oak notes, burning heather, toffee apples and cinnamon.
Finish: Good length, with rich, tangy spices on the tail.

A lease purchase agreement is typically used when
you have a buyer for your property but they need some time before
they meet the requirements to qualify for a new mortgage.
However, it may be used in any situation where the seller needs to
rent the property to the buyer for a period of time before closing.
Common Questions
Is This The Same As a Lease With Option To Purchase?
No. While the terms are often used interchangeably and the
agreements are similar in nature, a lease option is typically used
when a tenant wants the option (but not the obligation) to purchase
the property they are renting.
A lease purchase is the standard form-of-choice when you have a
buyer that is serious about purchasing the property but is not
immediately ready and/or able to close.
Sellers can usually demand a larger non-refundable deposit with a
lease purchase than they can with a lease option, since the ultimate
intent of the buyer is to purchase the property; not to be a tenant.
Is This The Same As an Installment Land Contract?
No. An Installment Land Contract (also known as a Contract for Deed
or Bond for Title) is a form of owner financing, where the buyer
actually has equitable title in the property. This type of
transaction is traditionally used when the seller wants to act as
the bank and receive monthly payments for as long as possible.
How Long Does The Buyer Have To Close On The Purchase?
Just like the purchase price and monthly rental amount, this is one
of the terms on the contract the two parties must agree on while
negotiating. If the buyer simply needs to complete the sale of their
previous property before purchasing this one, the contract could be
as short as a few months. The lease purchase agreement does allow
for a one-time extension of the closing date under certain terms and
conditions. If the purchaser needs to clear up some credit issues,
the buyer and the seller may agree to 12 months with a possible 12
month extension.
Does The Buyer Get Any "Rent Credit"?
For each monthly rental payment that is made in full before the due
date, a rent credit/purchase credit will be applied toward the
purchase price. The parties can agree to anything from zero dollars
($0.00) per month to 100% of the monthly rental payments. The amount of the
rent credit is completely negotiable and accumulates only during the
term of the initial contract, not during any extension. Accordingly,
over a 12 month contract, a rent credit of $100 per month would be a
$1,200 reduction in the purchase price.
Since sellers offering a lease purchase are typically able to demand
a purchase price and monthly lease payment on the upper side of the
price scale, this is usually a negligible reduction.
It is also common for a seller offering a lease purchase to be able
to negotiate a contract where the buyer will be paying most (if not
all) of the closing cost.
What Happens If The Buyer Does Not Purchase The Property?
In most situations they would probably be in default-of-contract and you
could sue them for breach-of-contract. However, this is usually not
practical. In such case, the seller shall retain all earnest
monies/purchase deposits, credits, and any improvements to the
property as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.

SPOKANE, Wash. – Local nonprofit Christ Kitchen is taking orders for its special Valentine-themed cookies and food baskets. Those who buy one can also know they are helping a cause: employing women living in poverty.
Christ Kitchen Sales and Marketing Director Kim Kelly said when you buy treats from Christ Kitchen, you are spreading your love far beyond your special someone.
"They are impacting deeper than they can imagine," Kelly said. "First of all, they're putting these women to work making those products, which is absolutely huge. Then they're spreading the love of our product, which is getting the name out there, which is what we need. If we're not selling our product, then we're not employing women."
Pickup orders are welcomed, but Christ Kitchen also delivers for a $5 fee within five miles of the storefront at Carlisle and Monroe, and a $10 fee for anything beyond that.
To place an order, call Christ Kitchen at (509) 325-4343.

> Brooke Coe: Dr. Seuss Furniture Comes to Life
Brooke Coe: Dr. Seuss Furniture Comes to Life
by Joanna Werch Takes
Brooke Coe's son, aged about three at the time, helped come up with the name for
Huh? Designs
, her furniture and interior design company. "I was working on one of my bug tables, and I had it upside down on the bench with its legs up in the air, and I was sanding it. My son came into the garage and was like, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'Oh, I'm just working on my furniture.' He was like 'huh'?"
Brooke had the realization, she said, "that is kind of how people react to my stuff: first it's 'huh'" in a questioning tone, "then 'huh'" – in the tone of an acknowledgment.\
Her "stuff" includes the aforementioned bug table – a table shaped like a bug, which she's done in a variety of iterations – furniture in the shape of other wild creatures (jellyfish, octopus), shelving units and a coffee console for an ice cream shop, and more. Most are made from woods like oak or birch, finished with colored water-based stains that allow the grain pattern to show through.
Brooke describes her furniture as freeform: since much of it has a lot of curves, her jigsaw and oscillating spindle sander are among the tools that get a workout. It's all constructed in her shop – also known as a garage, although she hasn't been able to park a car in it since the second week after she moved into her current home, about 10 years ago.
She lives near Los Angeles, which she says is a "very eclectic, very funky area. I love to go to Venice Beach and see the street artists, and be inspired by the emotion of their pieces." She'll sometimes try to recreate those emotions in her own pieces – or she'll draw on other influences.
"I loved Dr. Seuss books growing up. I loved the randomness and craziness of the style. Then, when the
movie came out, and I saw the house and the furniture in that movie, it was like the drawings came to life." The furniture from the 1988 Tim Burton movie stuck in Brooke's mind, and later influenced her own designs.
Another early influence was rehabbing an 1890s house with her dad, starting at age nine. "My parents divorced, which is why I was a weekend at daddy's girl. It was like 'Today, we're going to re-roof!'" In hindsight, Brooke said, she came to have much more appreciation for the experience she gained working with her hands and figuring out how things worked, particularly after she bought her own house in Atlanta.
A 1947 bungalow, it had great bones, but was "ugly as sin," she said. The first improvement project she and her husband planned was to build a deck, with built-in seating and lighting and a sunburst railing. "When they came to deliver the supplies, they had a semi-truck and a forklift, and I thought, 'wow, they must have a lot of deliveries today.' The entire delivery was for me. My husband and I sat there for an hour drinking our coffee, going, 'oh, my….' And then it was like, 'OK, step one: make some holes for posts.'"
She also appreciated that her dad had Brooke, her brother and her sister do all parts of his projects: there were no boy/girl distinctions in the work. Today, "I feel kind of like an island sometimes," as a woman in woodworking, Brooke said. For instance, she was at a large home improvement store when she needed biscuits, "and a man was like, 'you're not in the kitchen, honey.' I'm like, 'excuse me? For my biscuit joiner?' And he didn't even know what it was."
Other than her early experiences with her dad and a high school shop class, Brooke is mostly self-taught in her woodworking experience, asking for advice and opinions on how to use a specific tool as she's needed it. Due to that background, she wanted "to make sure I had the chops" before she accepted a job a few years ago at BeJane, an online women's home improvement community.
Brooke found an ad on Craigslist for the reality TV show "Monster House," where teams competed to construct something crazy and win tools. Brooke was teamed, as the carpenter, with a general contractor, a welder, an upholsterer, and a movie set builder. "I knew the most as far as carpentry, except for the general contractor." She appreciated the learning by immersion, both in that experience and at BeJane, where she worked in the marketing field.
Originally, Brooke had pursued a career in advertising and marketing. She began her furniture and interior design business in 2003, and went to its current full-time status in 2006, after her employer folded. Both components of Huh Designs, she said, complement each other: "When I do an interior design job, I might have a space where I want a custom piece of furniture. When a piece of my furniture goes into a room, a lot of times people will ask about, 'should I paint the walls?' 'how should I arrange this?'" She credits part of her design ability to her mother, who she said had a unique knack for putting things together.
To keep that ability to design pieces she likes, Brooke retains about 15 percent creative freedom even when working with a commissioned piece from a client's sketch. As for her own furniture designs, "A lot of them come from my experience as a mom. I'll want a piece for a specific function, but what I find at the store is too boring, too expensive, or not what I want."
Examples that fall into this category are her creative/drawing table – the creativity of the table itself is meant to inspire young artists, there are drawers for storing their crayons, and they can play with the table when not drawing – and a built-in bookshelf/homework center. The latter piece solves the problem of toys taking over a room by providing storage shelves on top and cabinets on the bottom, while a latched door folds out to create a homework workstation. "I bet if I want it, other people want it," she said.

Why Should You Invest In This Growing Tech Company?
Mike is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Semiconductor manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) has had a rough run over the past several years. The company has always played second fiddle to Intel (NASDAQ: INTC), and it has recently lost ground to several upstart chip-makers and cloud companies as well. While it would be premature to say that AMD is now on equal footing with Intel, several encouraging developments could support the firm's growth in the coming quarters.
Although lucrative partnerships with Microsoft and other companies may bode well for AMD, the company has a long way to go. A relatively high debt load, cash flow issues and other financial problems could prove problematic as AMD moves to shake the malaise that has plagued it. At the same time, the firm's stock has been beaten down and may offer short-term value at its current levels. Investors who wish to make an unorthodox play in the semiconductor space owe it to themselves to take a closer look.
AMD, Intel and NVIDIA: A Brief Comparison
Although Intel clearly dominates the traditional semiconductor industry, many casual observers might be surprised to learn that a number of "independent" semiconductor manufacturers continue to thrive. In addition to Intel, AMD competes directly with companies like Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), which has been buying back their shares in large sums recentlyI. As such, a financial comparison between Intel, AMD and NVIDIA is warranted.
Intel is far larger than AMD and NVIDIA--the company has a market capitalization of about $123 billion and an enterprise value of around $118 billion. This compares to respective figures of $2.8 billion and $3.8 billion for AMD. Meanwhile, NVIDIA has a market cap of $8.2 billion and an enterprise value of $4.7 billion.
Revenues and earnings tell a similar story. In 2012, Intel took in $10.3 billion on gross revenues of more than $53 billion. By comparison, AMD lost $739 million on revenues of just under $5 billion. NVIDIA split the difference with earnings of $580 million on revenues of about $4.4 billion. Debt is also an issue for AMD: the company has about $2 billion in long-term obligations and $1 billion in cash on hand. Its operating cash flow of minus $600 million is also problematic. In fact, the other two firms have much healthier balance sheets. In addition to a strongly positive cash flow, Intel has about $13 billion in debt and $17 billion in cash. NVIDIA has almost no long-term debt and a cash pile of nearly $4 billion.
Recent Stock-Price Action
Over the past two years, AMD has slumped from a high of about $8 per share to a low near $2 per share. However, recent movements have been encouraging: Since the start of 2013, the company's stock has risen from $2.50 per share to its present levels near $4 per share. Although it appears to have hit a plateau, this action should be encouraging for investors who might previously have feared a long slide into the basement.
Notable Moves and Competitive Advantages
Within the past few months, AMD has made a number of promising moves. The company recently announced an enhanced partnership that promises to solidify its advantage in the gaming-device space, and its products are prominently featured in Microsoft's XBox One console. The company has also announced the release of the fastest PC processor on the market. Since Intel has been accustomed to "owning" such milestones, these developments could significantly boost AMD's reputation in the space.
Potential Issues and Drawbacks
Despite its strategic advantages and encouraging moves, AMD still has some serious problems. Although it is not drowning in debt, its negative cash flow will eventually impede AMD's ability to function and could impact its financial results or spur layoffs. Moreover, the firm is not as well-capitalized as some of its peers. Given these impediments, it seems likely that further cost-cutting measures are on the way.
Although AMD appears to be keeping up or even moving ahead of Intel in the product-development department, this might not be the boon that many observers expect it to be. As PC systems become less attractive to everyday computer users, investors may flock from "old-line" firms like AMD and Intel towards better-positioned firms that offer cloud-based computing services. In addition, chip-makers that are adequately positioned to capitalize on the growing market for mobile computing technology will benefit at the expense of their more sluggish peers.
Invest or Stay Away?
While AMD is clearly undervalued at its current levels, it might not be a screaming buy. Based on its financial health, strategic position and seemingly low valuation, investors can make a convincing case that NVIDIA is actually a better long play. Indeed, it is worth noting that AMD's price-to-book ratio sits at 6.7 and exceeds that of NVIDIA by a factor of four.
Investors who believe that AMD's best days are ahead of it should feel comfortable with a long position in the company's stock. However, there are plenty of risks to this type of trade. Savvy investors may wish to hedge their positions with dated options, tight stops, or another position in a rival chip-maker like NVIDIA. Since conditions can change quickly in the semiconductor market, these moves could be necessary to preserve liquidity.
NVIDIA was ahead of the curve launching its mobile Tegra processor, but investing gains haven't followed as expected, with the company struggling to gain momentum in the smartphone market. The Motley Fool's brand-new premium report examines NVIDIA's stumbling blocks, but also homes in on opportunities that many investors are overlooking.

A cruise to New Zealand was something my wife and I had wanted to do for a very long time, and having recently celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, what better time to do it. We chose HAL for their 'signature of excellence' logo, but should have perhaps taken a little more notice of the reviews. However, with our friends, we had a great cruise, where our expectations were met, and in some cases, exceeded. Waiters, food and general ambiance aboard this grand old ship, were excellent. We loved the rich and lavish way in which the ship is fitted out and the way we were treated. However, 5 star cabin? No way, more like 3 star. Musty smelling, grey sheets welcomed us to our stateroom, along with a bath that had a 4" inch crack along the top and a generally tired and in need of refurbishment overall appearance throughout. The sheets were changed, but still grey and not what one would expect from a 'signature of excellence'. Whilst this did not spoil our cruise, it is something to take into account when advertising their product as 'excellent' means everything spot on. Time for Oosterdam to have some TLC - tender loving care methinks!
The ports of call for very good and gave us a flavor of this lovely country. If you are fit and able, most ports of call allow you to make your own arrangements to sight see. Transfer, by both tender and shuttle bus, were very good.

Bell Witch 'Longing' cd
I received my artist copies for the Bell Witch debut full length called 'Longing.' This is the first time my artwork has appeared on a CD (that I'm aware of) and I'm particularly happy that it's on Profound Lore Records. I've been a big fan of the label for a few years now, and seeing my art and name attached to a PFL release is very exciting to me.
Thank you everyone for their support.

Spiderweb Cookies
Oxmoor House
These cookies are simply delicious all by themselves. But add some frosting and a black frosting spiderweb and you'll have a party cookie!
Yield: Makes 6 dozen
Recipe from
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or English walnuts
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons water
- black decorator tube frosting
- toothpick
- Beat together butter or margarine and sugar until mixture is fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, blending well. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt; stir in nuts. Gradually add to butter mixture; beat well. Place dough on wax paper; shape into 2 long rolls, 2 inches in diameter. Chill overnight, or, if desired, wrap and freeze for future use. Slice dough 1/4-inch thick; bake on ungreased baking sheets at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool. Combine powdered sugar and enough water to make a thin frosting. Frost cookies. Before frosting has set, make circles using the black decorator tube frosting. Add a dot in the center if desired. Use the toothpick to pull the black frosting from the center to the edges making the frosting look like spiderwebs. Let frosting dry before stacking.
Who says cobwebs always have to be black? Gel frosting comes in a variety of colors. So make your webs match your Halloween color theme.

I am actually kind of saddened by the way they are handling gear in Wrath. It seems that depending on your gear lvl, whether it be Kara/T5.5 badge/T6 it won't be replaced until level 75, 77, 80 respectively and it is just kinda sad. I know I always enjoyed looking at Thottbot/Wowhead for quest/instance drops that were an upgrade to my current gear. That will no longer be the case in Wrath, and questing will only be about gaining experience and not gear in most cases, which makes it much more of a grind for me. I know I dinged lvl 65 by killing a mob in Nagrand about 15 feet from the Ring of Blood questgiver and I was in LFG looking for a group 2 seconds later so I could get a sweet weapon upgrade. That won't happen in Wrath. It will be a matter of simply grinding away to get to 80 if you have nice gear now. Don't get me wrong I love questing and leveling, but running a long, complex quest chain was always more fun if there was a nice upgrade waiting for me at the end. I mean will anyone in T5+ even run a dungeon that is lvl 70-78. They might for fun, but most people will probably just grind to 80 as quickly as possible because they don't need instance drops, and they won't even see the low level dungeons until they run them on heroic.
I know this won't happen now because things are too far along in development but I would have rather seen a system where they rewarded you for your current progression but had a similar gear reset like in TBC. For example if you had completed Kara you leveled from 70-80 with a Kara Aura that increased all your stats by 1% including AP and Spellpower, etc. If you were one of the lucky few to finish Sunwell you would get a Sunwell Aura that increased all stats by 15% or something like that. Of course there would be people in the middle of the road with badge gear, or some TK/SSC/MH/BT gear and they could be given partial credit based on their level of progression 8.5%, 10.5% etc. They could even do it based on your current item level so it could include hard earned epic craftables and just call it TBC Aura or whatever. This Aura would dissapear at lvl 80 and everyone would be on the same playing field. This would give players who worked hard and progressed through difficult raids in TBC a nice leg up in leveling (which I think they deserve) but everyone could be excited about getting a new lvl 72 blue quest reward or instance drop that had better stats than their previous gear. Even though the Sunwell raider and the guy who just dinged 70 two days before Wrath came out would have the same lvl 72 blue, the hardcore raider would have a version that is 15% better. This seems like a nice way to reward the players who put alot of work into TBC but still give everyone the excitement of new gear with the expansion.
Well it's too late for something like this to happen, but I can still dream about a better system right ;)

Project Boats
An estate sale. This boat was in the process of restoration. New stringers installed. New engines
and transmissions. New batteries and wiring. The hull is in excellent condition. The interior,
including the wheel house/main salon and the forward cabin are solid but need to be completely
refurbished. The motors only have 50 hours at the most. Unfortunately they sat for the last two
years and now need maintenance.
Lots of possibilities for an avid "do-it-yourself" boater.
Lots of parts---see the pictures ON THE REGULAR LISTING ON YACHTWORLD BELOW. Just copy and paste the link in your browser.
33 LUHRS 1967. looking for a great vessel to work on. This is it. This boat has all the potential of being a great boat. It's a great boat now. It just needs a little love. Solid hull, twin 235 ford engines, huge salon and so much more. This could be a great charter boat. Some work has been done to clean up the hull. Single bridge station. The boat has been setting for a while, so I'm going to say the engines don't run. Come in, check this boat out and make an offer. All offers presented. Ask for Mike. 305-335-0711 or Larry at: 954-651-5993

Hi, I was wondering if the members of the queen liliuokalani trust would be able to help a family like mines. I am a full time working mother of two small children. two boys, ages 2 and 6 months. My husband is currently unemployed and the only income we have is from me which is barely enough. Our home is about to be foreclosed and we are trying to look for some place cheap to rent so that my boys will have a roof over their heads. I know that this economic times are getting worse but I've been trying my best to support my children, and my husband is unable to find a steady job, for he does construction for a living. His employment goes from real steady to having nothing at all, and that puts a lot of pressure on me to come up with money to get by to pay the bills, and even if i don't have the money in full to pay everything i try to span it out just to make sure my boys and husband can eat. I'm even trying to look for a part time job just to support them and it's a real burden on my shoulders and it's really stressing me out...I really don't know what to do. No matter how hard i'm trying to make everything right, it's seems like the situation just gets worse. I just had to find a way to come up with money to pay for our electric bill that they disconnected for non payment. It's on now but it just made me so discouraged, that no matter how hard i could work, it's still not enough. I just want to be able to support my family. I am of Hawaiian ancestry, me and my husband, and i just want to be able to make it, just like everyone else. I now that a lot of people are struggling, but maybe, just maybe you'll be able to help us. Thank you for listening....
GGP has been noted for excellent places of interest of the music everyone wants to here.
Hello, I was wondering if the Queen Liliuokalani Trust will be able to help me & my Mom. I am currently working & my Mom is currently unemployed. I recently had a 10% cut in pay and having a difficult time paying for the back rent, plus other bills that comes every month. No matter how much money I make, we just end up paying higher rent, 30% off my pay. I have a 12 year old daughter that I love very much. I'm trying so hard to find ways to make it through each month, but it's hard! I know I'm not the only one having a hard time in this economy of ours. I just need that one chance to get my Mom out of the housing projects and support her & my daughter. If that can happen, then I can get a higher paying job or even a 2nd job and not worry anymore. Now, I know we are not the only Hawaiian family having a hard time and asking for help, but if you can? thank you!
Hello, i was wondering if you can help us. my boyfreind is a Viet- Nam vereran who recently had a liver transplant due to agent orange. He lives in Kam housing and he is unable to get up the stairs. He needs an apartment for some one with a disability. I am his live in attendent and I really wish you could help us. He receives 100% pension from the VA. I have heard some wonderful things about your foundation. thank you for listening.I know times are hard,but we really need help.
Hi, I have an urgent disconnect on my electric bill. I am currently looking for work, without any opportunities so far. Your agency has helped me once before on an urgent disconnect. I want to know if you have a requirement on how long you can receive help again. This time, if my service is disconnected, I will lose my place for myself and my three children because I have section 8. My inspection is coming up and if my service is cut when my inspection is done, I will lose my section 8 services.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Early juvenile markings: New recruits (10-15 mm SL) of S. variabilis have a pattern of blue stripes and spots on the head and upper body with two spots and a stripe on the iris. The upper part of the head and anterior body have a dusky blue background color. There is a large black ocellus ringed in blue centered on the last two dorsal-fin spines and first three dorsal-fin soft rays. The ocellus is typically 50% on the fin and 50% on the body. The blue edging below the ocellus on the body is usually an intact blue line and it comes close to the lateral line (usually less than one scale away). There is a characteristic blue-edged black saddle-spot on the caudal peduncle just behind the last dorsal-fin ray.
Later juveniles (over 20 mm SL) are are yellow with a blue (often bright blue) upper head and anterior body and dorsal fin with numerous iridescent blue stripes and spots, a dorsal-fin ocellus over the body and fin (moving off the body when large juveniles over 30 mm SL), and a prominent black caudal-peduncle saddle.

So if I'm writing about changing the way we think about lunch, I'm going to to have to say why I think that's important. To illustrate, a story:
My family stumbled into a great opportunity to go visit friends and relations in Europe 4 summers ago (an aside: trips to Europe are not the norm around here). A few weeks before liftoff, my daughter and I went out for pancakes one morning (another aside: going out for pancakes, and with only one of my three kids in tow, is not the norm around here either), and I started to tell her about things we might be eating during our trip, and the culture of food there, and that we'd have to gussy up our table manners, and her seven-year-old self asked,
"Mama, why do the French take food so seriously?"
I was stumped. So I said,
"Well, let's ask them when we get there."
This, then, became her "research project" during our visit. We posed the question to several French friends and relatives, and the response was remarkable, and very surprising both in content and consistency. I think without exception they all said this:
" ".
That is, they said nothing, at first. But they ALL chuckled, and looked to the horizon, and smiled, and THEN they said,
"I have no idea."
"But we do."
So by the end of the trip we had to draw our own conclusions. The food was, of course, nothing less than astonishing – fresh, delicious, thoughtfully and lovingly prepared, and served with grace and style (and even occasional theatrics, just for good measure). Here is what we came to understand (brace yourself, it's a doozy):
The French do not take food so seriously.
Toldja! It's a doozy. We realized, though, that it was the community of sitting down together and sharing the time with others that the French take very, very seriously. The French cuisine, that yardstick-by-which-all-cooking-is-measured, has grown from the desire for community, not the other way around.
Changing the way we think about lunch (and all food in general) might well begin with a lesson learned by a seven year old.
Wow. What a great experience you were able to give to your kids! We really enjoy cooking with our kids, and always try to make their meals look fun. I am a bit intimidated by French cuisine but your opinion makes it seem more about the culture around the food rather than the food itself. I like keeping food culture fun (And wine for the grownups is always a great addition!). Good luck with your blog!
Being first generation American and raised by French parents, I don't think it is all about the food. It's the experience of eating together as a group, be it with friends or family, and socializing. My mom insisted on eating on eating together as a family, and I took part in many cultural outings where I saw people eat and talk, with emphasis on talk. I learned to value the experience on being with others and cherish relationships, which is probably the real lesson.
Thanks – that was our experience too. The lesson stays with us even now, four years later!

Where You've Seen Her: We first noticed the stunning Zoë Saldana in the early 2000s in teen hits Center Stage, Get Over It, Crossroads (yes, the Britney Spears movie), and Drumline. Since then, she's become a megastar thanks to major blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Star Trek, and Avatar. Today, she'll be kicking ass and taking names in Colombiana. We can't wait.
Random Fact: Saldana was a ballet dancer before she started acting at age 17.
