A penalty stroke can ruin a good score or lose a match.
Unfortunately, many penalties are the result of ignorance or confusion concerning the Rules of Golf. The SCGA Rules and Competitions staff is a resource for all questions related to rules, tournament administration, tournament formats, course markings, local rules to adopt at your club and more. The SCGA staff also conducts rules seminars at sites throughout the Southland, and is available to give personal seminars at member clubs. Understanding the Rules of Golf can improve anyone's game. For rules questions or to arrange a rules seminar at your club, please contact us at email@example.com.
The Rules of Golf
The USGA, in conjunction with The R&A in St. Andrews, Scotland, writes, interprets and maintains the Rules of Golf to guard the tradition and integrity of the game. The two organizations are joint authors and owners of The Rules of Golf and Decisions on The Rules of Golf. Through an agreement with The R&A, the rules jurisdiction of the USGA includes the United States, its possessions and Mexico.
Rules of Golf Seminars
The SCGA is your resource for all questions related to the Rules of Golf. Learn about the Rules in an informal, on-course venue. Workshops are open to any golfer who is passionate about golf and interested in the rules whether you are a recreational golfer or participate in our SCGA championships.

SCGA's Local Rules Hard Card
In addition to the USGA Rules of Golf, local rules are created to deal with unusual or abnormal conditions on the golf course. Each year the SCGA adopts a set of local rules which are in place at all competitions conducted by the SCGA. Referred to as the SCGA "hard card," these local rules form part of the rules under which SCGA competitions are conducted, regardless of the location. Clubs and committees may wish to consider these local rules for their own use.

Most rookie running backs aren't known for the pass protection, especially speedy backs who are 5'7″, 183 pounds. However, Jeff Demps has received praise from former Florida Gators teammate and current New England Patriots compatriot Brandon Spikes for his work in pass protection.
"I remember him putting his head in there, being a smaller guy. He has great heart and a lot of fight. I'm just happy he's on the team," Spikes said.
Demps was in action today in blitz pick-up drills, and he is certainly a running back who plays with a lot of determination. He is indeed an above-average pass blocker, and drive and knowledge in pass blocking are far more important than size. The interesting thing is that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have one of the top rookie pass blocking running backs in Doug Martin.
Anyway, it's interesting to hear that a defensive player like Spikes would laud Demps for his pass blocking. It isn't like he's trying to "trump up" a friend and teammate, because athletes don't normally give praise out of random, even to teammates. Demps can definitely hold his own in blitz pick-up, even tough he won't be asked to do so as he primarily plays as the team's returner (he will get some carries though and a few chances to catch some passes).
Besides talking about Demps's pass protection, Spikes gave effusive praise about his speed, of course, saying "speed kills". One knock on Demps coming out of college from some scouts is that he has poor lateral movement. While it's not as impressive as his speed, I wouldn't say it's a weakness.

LPO provider Exigent raises stakes in lower cost offering with mLegal acquisition
7 November 2013
Stable but quiet would be a good way to describe this client to external law firms. Canada Life UK is one of a group of international subsidiaries, which also includes operations in Ireland and Brazil, of the Toronto and New York-listed life assurer Canada Life. While its parent company Canada Life is not duty bound to release figures for each individual subsidiary, it is well documented that the UK arm is making money.
By the end of 2000, the UK division had clocked up £55.7m of the company's £139.2m profits, and UK sales have tripled in the past year. But this mainly corporate client has not thrown out any high-value acquisitions for lawyers to feed on for nearly five years.
As the company is so profitable, general counsel Bruno Geiringer has deep pockets. "We like good-quality lawyers and are not averse to paying for them," he says.
But at the moment, Geiringer's pockets may as well be stuffed with Disney Dollars, because for the past two years, the traditionally acquisitive company has been resting on its haunches.
In 1995, Canada Life acquired insurer Manulife for around £110m. The company's principal adviser Linklaters worked on the deal. Then, in 1997, the company bought Albany Life for approximately £180m, again with Linklaters picking up the fees.
For the past two years Canada Life has generated one or two deals worth around £2m each year. Geiringer says that these are mainly "books for business", which are insurers' portfolios of customers for a particular financial product or policy, and have been dealt with in-house. Geiringer's annual legal spend is around £600,000, he says, but this figure accounts for expenses generated by his four-strong legal team, as well as external billing.
When asked why the company has not come up with any major acquisitions since 1997, Geiringer says: "We have been doing a lot of circling, but nothing has happened
In April 2001, Canada Life was reported to be a frontrunner in the race to acquire pensions specialist National Mutual. And the company has been close to taking over a number of companies in the past two years, which is why it remains a client to watch.
The last major piece of legal work Geiringer ordered out was on Canada Life's transfer of the non-US parts of its business into an international holding company last summer. This was worth about £5m in terms of savings and new money raised. Slaughter and May won out on that deal.
Geiringer downplays his role in the deal, mentioning only the administrative aspects of his task and giving most of the credit to Slaughters. "Apart from some share restructuring, I had to time international board meetings to the right time zones and make sure they took place in the right order," he says. "The rest is too complicated to go into. We instructed Slaughters on that."
Historically, Linklaters has been Canada Life's main adviser in the UK. Slaughters came on board in 1999 to handle the company's demutualisation.
Canada Life converted from a mutual to a public company in November 1999, landing policyholders with a shares windfall. The company was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The 53,200 UK policyholders that kept their shares gained a typical windfall of £2,000 at flotation.
Since then, Geiringer says he has given the two firms an equal share of the work, although he admits there has not been much for them. "It differs year by year and from project to project as to which firm receives most of the work," Geiringer says.
Although deal activity is slow at the moment, Geiringer asserts that Canada Life UK is an attractive client for a law firm to have on its books. "We offer corporate work in a sector that is consolidating rapidly. We're an acquisitive business that offers interesting deals and acquisitive work. We have a double-'A'-starred parent company. These are good things for advisers to see," he says.
Geiringer says that Canada Life does not need to run a legal panel in the same way as the major personal injury insurers, such as CGNU and the AA. "We're not a financial insurer and we have the Financial Ombudsman service for all claimants so we don't do much litigation. Also, we don't have complicated claims procedures in life insurance. If someone is dead you can't really argue with them," he says.
As he is not required to run a panel, or perform panel reviews, Geiringer remains fairly confident that he will stick to Slaughters and Linklaters. But if the individuals he uses - Glen James at Slaughters and Alan Barker at Linklaters - were to move firms, he anticipates that he would move with them.
"We like our firms but we do keep an eye on the market and look at prices at other firms, particularly given the amount of partners and their teams moving around at the moment," he says. "I've moved firms with an individual before and would move again."
Geiringer also hints that he is not averse to moving around himself, and his own career history is certainly diverse. After training with Stoneham Langton & Passmore he left in 1982 and held various jobs in industry before working as a trader and then going into financial services. From financial services he joined Albany, the company that Canada Life took over in 1997, as an in-house lawyer and this was a logical way back into the law for Geiringer.
He now hints that he has half an eye on private practice, especially as the larger law firms become more involved with the Financial Services Authority (FSA).
"I can see myself going back into private practice," he says. "I'm the compliance officer for the company and we've had a heavy year preparing for N2 [the date when FSA regulation came into full force]. There are a lot of big firms which have built up compliance units to look at the new FSA regulations.
"I would consider moving to one of my external advisers," he adds. "There's a much higher quality of people in-house now and this is being acknowledged by the big law firms."

Can I Become a Surgical Technician Online?
Get the facts on surgical technician programs.
A surgical technician career is fast-paced and hands-on which means your education will happen in the classroom. Currently there are no online surgical technician programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.
However, if you're looking for an online program to get you started in the health care field, other options, including medical assisting and surgical assisting, are available. These can be solid jumping off points if you decide to enroll in a surgical tech program later.
Why Accreditation is Important
Most employers and some states require surgical technicians to be certified by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting. In order to sit for the exam, you'll need to complete an accredited program. Upon passing the certification exam, you'll be able to use the title "Certified Surgical Technologist (CST)."
The National Center for Competency Testing also offers certification to those who pass an exam and have a formal education from an accredited school.
If you decide to enroll in another allied health program—online or not—you'll want to look for schools accredited by the appropriate accrediting body.
Technical Requirements
Whether you plan to earn a certificate or associate's degree, an online program in surgical assisting or medical assisting will require students to have the following:
- A reliable computer
- High-speed Internet access
- An email account
Your ability to communicate via the Internet will determine the success of your relationships with your instructors and fellow students. Make sure you're adequately prepared by familiarizing yourself with the following:
- The software that your online school uses for instruction
- The amount and method of communication that each instructor expects from you
- The online forums that will be used for group discussions.
The Successful Online and On-Campus Student
Surgical technicians need to be able to think on their feet during hours of intense surgery, and degree programs, online or not, are designed to prepare students for such demanding work. Here are some characteristics of a successful student:
Involved: Students enrolled in surgical tech programs have many opportunities for interaction with instructors and peers. Don't be afraid to call or email your instructor when you have any questions. You can find additional support in the form of study groups as well.
- Organized: Students who are organized are able to combat distractions when they are trying to study at home. If you think you are lacking in this area, set up a space and time that is reserved for your schoolwork only.
- Disciplined: While keeping up with required reading, completing homework and taking tests at your own pace online can be very liberating, the work can quickly pile up if you lack self-motivation. Students succeed in their classes when they use discipline to break work into manageable tasks and stick to a daily routine.
- Focused: If you have trouble staying focused, create a calendar detailing expected timeframes for completion of schoolwork. Refer to the calendar as often as possible in order to track your progress.

About Multiple Myeloma
Newly diagnosed or untreated patients, click here to learn how you can help advance myeloma research.
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cell, is an incurable but treatable disease. While a myeloma diagnosis can be overwhelming, it is important to remember that there are several promising new therapies that are helping patients live longer, healthier lives. The estimated frequency of multiple myeloma is 5 to 7 new cases per 100,000 persons per year. Accordingly, in the United States, 19,920 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in 2008. There were more than 56,000 Americans living with multiple myeloma in 2005, the most current date these statistics are available.
Multiple myeloma (also known as myeloma or plasma cell myeloma) is a progressive hematologic (blood) disease. It is a cancer of the plasma cell, an important part of the immune system that produces immunoglobulins (antibodies) to help fight infection and disease. Multiple myeloma is characterized by excessive numbers of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow and overproduction of intact monoclonal immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgD, or IgE) or Bence-Jones protein (free monoclonal ? and ? light chains). Hypercalcemia, anemia, renal damage, increased susceptibility to bacterial infection, and impaired production of normal immunoglobulin are common clinical manifestations of multiple myeloma. It is often also characterized by diffuse osteoporosis, usually in the pelvis, spine, ribs, and skull.
Normal Plasma Cell Function in the Immune System
Plasma cells develop from B cells when foreign substances (antigens), such as bacteria, enter the body. In response to invasion by foreign substances, groups of plasma cells produce proteins called immunoglobulins (Ig), also known as antibodies that help fight disease and infection. Each plasma cell develops in response to a particular foreign substance within the body, and it produces immunoglobulins specific to that substance. Thus, there are many different immunoglobulins produced in the body.
There are five major classes of immunoglobulins. Each class has a unique type of heavy chain that is defined by use of a Greek letter: gamma (IgG), alpha (IgA), mu (IgM), epsilon (IgE), or delta (IgD). Each type has a slightly different function in the body. Normally, a plasma cell makes one of these five major classes of immunoglobulin. The immunoglobulin class normally present in the largest amounts in blood is IgG, followed by IgA and IgM. IgD and IgE are present in very small amounts in the blood. Immunoglobulin light chains are defined by use of the Greek letters kappa (κ) or lambda (l).
Development of Malignant Plasma Cells (Myeloma Cells)
It is normal for plasma cells to develop from B cells in lymph nodes as an immune response to disease or infection. Transformation of a normal B cell into a malignant plasma cell involves a multi-step process that includes multiple genetic abnormalities. Finally, the resulting plasma cells become malignant, meaning they continue to divide unchecked, generating more malignant plasma cells (see figure). These myeloma cells travel through the bloodstream and collect in the bone marrow, where they cause permanent damage to healthy tissue. We have recently learned that the interaction between the plasma cells and the bone marrow microenvironment is as important as the genetic changes in the development of these malignant cells.
Normally, plasma cells make up a very small portion (less than 5%) of cells in the bone marrow. Myeloma plasma cells, however, have specific adhesion molecules on their surface allowing them to target bone marrow where they attach to structural cells called stromal cells. Once myeloma cells attach to bone marrow stromal cells, several interactions cause myeloma cells to grow (see figure):
As tumors grow, they invade the hard outer part of the bone, the solid tissue. In most cases, the myeloma cells spread into the cavities of all the large bones of the body, forming multiple small lesions. This is why the disease is known as "multiple" myeloma. In some cases, collections of plasma cells arise either within bone or in soft tissues as masses or tumors. These collections are called plasmacytomas, and may represent a more aggressive form of myeloma.
Myeloma Types
Myeloma is often referred to by the particular type of immunoglobulin or light chain (kappa or lambda type) produced by the cancerous plasma cell. The frequency of the various immunoglobulin types of myeloma parallels the normal serum concentrations of the immunoglobulins. The most common myeloma types are IgG and IgA. IgG myeloma accounts for about 60% to 70% of all cases of myeloma and IgA accounts for about 20% of cases. Few cases of IgD and IgE myeloma have been reported.
Causes and Incidence
Multiple myeloma is the second most prevalent blood cancer after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It represents approximately 1% of all cancers in white US residents and 2% of cancers in black residents.

Here's our list of some of the hottest spots in DFW.
Lone Star Live: This entertainment complex opened in Sundance Square this summer, in the former City Streets space, and has brought a new energy to downtown's entertainment district. It is located under the AMC Palace 9 movie theater and Barnes & Noble and comprises five venues, including the relocated Hyena's Comedy Nightclub and the sparkling new Queen City Music Hall, which has already booked some impressive local and regional acts. 425 Commerce St., Fort Worth. www.facebook.com/QueenCityMusicHall .
Rare Restaurant & Lounge: Rare is an Asian fusion restaurant and lounge that opened this summer at the Shops at Park Lane. Translation: It's an upscale sushi restaurant across Interstate 75 from NorthPark Center that has a popular cocktail hour and a plethora of beautiful women. 8052 Park Lane, Dallas. www.rareparklane.com .
Candleroom: The popular ultra-lounge near Henderson Avenue celebrates its 10-year anniversary Sept. 6. For a nightclub to not only survive but thrive in the fickle Dallas nightlife scene for an entire decade is a testament to this place's appeal. 5039 Willis Ave., Dallas. www.candleroomdallas.com .
Reservoir Bar: The hottest spot in Fort Worth opened with huge crowds on TCU-OU weekend last December and has maintained its place atop the DFW scene. Any given Friday or Saturday night, you will find some of the area's most beautiful women on Reservoir's patio. 1001 Foch St., Fort Worth. bar-reservoir.com .
Capital Bar: The popular bar in the West 7th area has live music most weeks Thursday through Sunday and, more importantly, is a hot spot with the TCU co-eds. 3017 Morton St., Fort Worth. capital-bar.com .
Brownstone: Another of Fort Worth's West 7th spots makes the list. It's crowded on weekends and recently launched The Living Room festivities, featuring a live DJ, and hosted a casino night benefiting Kidd's Kids. 840 Currie St., Fort Worth. www.brownstonefw.com .
Rattlesnake Bar at Ritz-Carlton: Always a great crowd inside this upscale hotel bar in Uptown Dallas. It has been mentioned in Conde Nast Traveler magazine, and anyone who likes people-watching would find this a Shangri-La. 2121 McKinney Ave., Dallas. www.ritzcarlton.com .

Concrete Cowboy: From the people behind the popular Teddy's Room, Concrete Cowboy combines a sports bar with a nightclub atmosphere. It has taken the Dallas nightlife scene by storm since opening last year with its "party bar for adults" vibe. 2512 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas. concretecowboydallas.com.

This particular spot is in the shadows of AT&T Stadium and Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and features two covered patios and 133 HDTVs. When there is an event at the home of the Dallas Cowboys, BoomerJack's is packed before and after. And if you spend $40 in Lincoln Square, you can park for free on game days. 522 Lincoln Square, Arlington. www.boomerjack.com.
Kung Fu Saloon: This Uptown hot spot — following the original in Austin and a second location in Houston — was an instant hit when it opened last September and has continued to have long lines to get in on weekends and plenty of beautiful people enjoying Skee-Ball and Ms. Pac-Man. 2911 Routh St., Dallas. kungfusaloon.com/dallas .
Soda Bar: The rooftop bar, complete with an infinity pool, atop the NYLO South Side Hotel has become a great place to hang out for the Dallas crowd. Its view of the downtown skyline doesn't hurt either. 1325 S. Lamar St., Dallas. www.nylohotels.com .
The Travis: This club recently opened in the spot that was previously the Rio Room. It has picked up with the same crowd of beautiful people that were often spotted at Rio Room before its sudden closing in January. 4515 Travis St., Dallas. facebook.com/thetravisdisco .

Political risk must-reads: Davos edition
Eurasia GroupŌĆÖs weekly selection of essential reading for the political risk junkie ŌĆō presented in no particular order. As always, feel free to give us your feedback or selections┬Ā@EurasiaGroup┬Āor┬Ā@
1.ŌĆØThe confidential list of everyone attending Davos this yearŌĆØ
David Yanofsky,┬ĀQuartz
The first step to assessing Davos and the World Economic Forum is reading up on who attends. Yanofsky answers that question in novel ways ŌĆö particularly the regional breakdown and analysis. Two-thirds of attendees hail from North America or Europe. Less than 8% come from Africa and South AmericaŌĆ"combined. This piece seems to take the ŌĆśWorldŌĆÖ out of ŌĆśWorld Economic Forum.ŌĆÖ┬Ā┬Ā
2. ŌĆ£Scenarios for the Russian FederationŌĆØ
World Economic Forum
In this┬Āreport, The World Economic Forum spells out possible long-term challenges that Russia faces. It focuses on three in┬Āparticular: the ŌĆ£ongoing evolutions in the global energy landscape, the quality of Russia's domestic institutional environment and dynamics of social cohesion within the country.ŌĆØ Lo and behold, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was in Davos– and┬Āhe responded to the report in his keynote address. Whether he provided any revelatory answers is another story.
3. ŌĆ£Joseph Stiglitz and the World Economic Forum: Making the Connection Between Climate Change and EconomicsŌĆØ
Tina Gerhardt,┬ĀHuffington Post
In the last 30 years, extreme weather has cost the United States an estimated┬Ā$1.06 trillion dollars. If even a significant fraction of that volatile weather is a product of climate change, then the US needs to brace itself for a hefty bill going forward.
4. ŌĆ£America: The Next Energy Superpower?ŌĆØ
Anthony Fensom,┬ĀThe DIplomat
In Davos, weŌĆÖve seen a lot of attention to the structural positive economic trends underway in the United States. Chief among them? The energy revolution taking place in North America. This piece spells out the implications.
5. ŌĆ£WSJ Live from DavosŌĆØ
The Wall Street Journal has a live-streaming page devoted to social media from Davos. If the articles above only whetted your appetite, this blog is sure to make you overeat.

Luckily, the sun was shining last Friday as the St. Olaf men's cross country team battled their way to third place at the Blugold Invitational, hosted by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
Led by Sam Hauck '06, the men finished behind University of Minnesota-Duluth and Central Region rival Luther College. Hauck finished second overall with a time of 25:40 over the eight kilometer course, running second to Luther's Adam Bohach. Hauck and Bohach ran cheek-by-jowl until the final thousand meters of the course.
Tony Hoff '07, who finished second for the Oles and fourth overall with a time of 26:06, was also locked in a dual with UMD's Eric Atkinson for much of the race. David Swanson '08 (27:12), Andrew Petz '07 (27:17), Cullen ONeill '09 (27:24), co-captain Jason Havey '06 (27:36) and John Lamppa '07 (27:39) filled out the roster of the Ole top seven.
The Oles' third place finish was due at least in part to their large spread. In cross country, "the spread is the time between your first finisher and either the number five or number seven finisher," said men's head coach Bill Thornton. It can also mean the difference between a first and third place finish for a team.
Despite standout performances from Hauck and Hoff and solid races from the next five runners, the Oles only placed third. That is at least partially because this season, the "Big O" (the team's traditional nickname) is chasing the ever-elusive spread.
The first through seventh place spread at the St. Olaf Invitational two weeks ago was 2:28; this week it was a mere 1:59. This demonstrated significant improvement, particularly from the supporting runners.
"We are improving and must remain patient with ourselves," Thornton said.
Given the way cross country meets are scored, having two runners like Hauck and Hoff so far in the lead places the onus on the shoulders of Swanson and company.
With good cause, St. Olaf remains optimistic. Times dropped across the board from the St. Olaf Invite. Hauck dropped over a minute from his Ole Invite performance, as did Petz and Havey. Co-captain Mark Ellingson '06, who was consistently in the top five for Olaf last season, is still awaiting the diagnosis of a mysterious injury.
With less than four weeks remaining until the MIAC Championships at Como Park in Saint Paul, the focus of the season begins to shift from training to racing. In a conference as competitive as the MIAC, seconds on the spread separate the victors from the vanquished, and the Ole men are looking to finish, once again, as victors.
St. Olaf next competes at the LaCrosse Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 15th, their last race before the MIAC Championship. The Lacrosse Invite annually boasts a deep and talented field and looks to be the perfect precursor for the championship season.
Until then, you can be sure that the men's team will continue to work on their spread.

What Is An IRS Tax Settlement?
A tax settlement is when a taxpayer settles their tax liabilities through one of the IRS programs/filings. The IRS offers settlements to taxpayers that are struggling with their tax debts or have valid reasons to abate their penalties. The IRS offers several different options for taxpayers to settle their taxes owed. The main factor the IRS takes into consideration when determining if the taxpayer will qualify for a tax settlement is their financial situation. The tax settlement that a taxpayer qualifies for is dependent upon their unique financial situation. The IRS prefers individuals to pay their taxes owed in full, but they will make exceptions for certain circumstances.
How an IRS Settlement Works
The IRS will allow a taxpayer to either negotiate a tax settlement for less than the total amount owed or come to an agreement on another method for the IRS to collect taxes owed over time. For either of these situations the taxpayer must meet the qualifications of one of the tax settlement programs set forth by the IRS. The taxpayer will first have to determine which type of tax settlement they would like to apply for and then submit the appropriate forms to the IRS for review before making a decision
WHAT THE GUIDE covers
There are different types of Installment Agreements, which allow you to pay IRS taxes over a series of monthly payments if you cannot pay in full. Below you find the most common types of IAs, and a link to each which will provide you the details as to how to file, their specific requirements, and their details.
Guaranteed Installment Agreement - This is the simplest type of Installment Agreement and is for taxpayers who owe $10k or less in taxes.
Streamlined Installment Agreement is intended for taxpayers that have tax debt of $25k or less. It is deemed "Streamlined" because it will not require full financial disclosure.
Financially Verified Installment Agreement - If you owe over $25k or you can't make the minimum monthly payment on a Streamlined Installment Agreement you want to look at getting this type of installment agreement. It has many names, but basically will require you to fill out Form 433 to fully verify your financial situation. A tax professional is best to work with here.
Installment Agreement Over 100k - If you owe over 100k, then you need a longer term installment agreement. Sometimes in this case, the IRS will require you to sell off assets to satisfy some of your debt before offering you this type of IA. It is recommended to use a professional here. Partial Payment Installment Agreement - If you are truly unable to pay off your taxes, you can look to apply for a Part-Pay IA which will require you to pay less than you owe in full over time (as part of your debt falls of each period due to the Statue of Limitations.

Reemployment Services
The budget calls for $158 million for reemployment and eligibility assessments and services to help unemployment insurance beneficiaries return to work. It also calls for $2 billion in mandatory spending for states to adopt Bridge to Work programs, which would enable unemployment insurance recipients to receive a weekly check while participating in a short-term work placement.

Aeropostale's Epic Nosedive to Unprofitability
Leo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Apparel retailer Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO) might be in serious trouble. The company recently reported fourth quarter earnings that slightly topped analyst estimates, but followed it up with sour prospects for the current quarter. As expected, shares slid, and investors started to question the sustainability of Aeropostale's business of selling clothes to teens and tweens - possibly the planet's most fickle demographic.
Operations Overview
Aeropostale operates two primary brick and mortar brands - its namesake stores, which are geared towards 14-17 year old teenage boys and girls, and its P.S. from Aeropostale brand - which is aimed at younger children. It also owns e-commerce retailer GoJane, which sells women's apparel, accessories and shoes.
During the fourth quarter, Aeropostale closed 11 namesake stores and opened three new ones. It added a single P.S. location, bringing its total to 984 namesake stores and 100 P.S. locations.
Fourth Quarter Earnings
For its fourth quarter, Aeropostale posted a loss of a cent, or $671,000, a sharp decline from the profit of 32 cents per share, or $26.1 million, it reported in the prior year quarter. Adjusting for one-time charges, the company earned 24 cents per share, beating the FactSet consensus estimate of 22 cents per share.
The company's revenue declined 1% from $808.38 million to $797.7 million, also beating the analyst consensus of $775.70 million.
Although Aeropostale beat estimates for both its top and bottom lines, the company's bleak forecast for the first quarter, which calls for a loss between 15 cents to 20 cents per share, sank shares more than 5% on March 15. Analysts had anticipated a profit of 8 cents per share.
The company blamed poor holiday sales, which declined after strong sales on Black Friday, and weak macro trends for its weak numbers.
CEO Thomas Johnson acknowledged that Aeropostale's first quarter and full fiscal year results were "disappointing" and a result of "margin pressures from holiday carryover inventory."
Slumping same-store sales
Aeropostale's same-store sales sank 8% - a decline from the drop of 7% it reported last year. However, revenue from its e-commerce segment, which includes its Aeropostale and GoJane websites, rose 16% year-over-year to $96.8 million - 12.1% of the company's total sales.
During the quarter, and especially the holiday season, customers bought 5% more items per transaction. However, total transactions - meaning total customers - declined 6%. The average unit retail price also slid 7%, indicating that Aeropostale marked down items to generate more sales.
This means the company sacrificed gross margin - which contracted 210 basis points to 24% - to unload cheaper products in an attempt to reduce its inventories.
ARO Inventories data by YCharts
As we can see in this chart, although Aeropostale's inventories are cyclical, they have steadily risen 15.2% over the past five years.
Rising expenses, contracting margins
Several of Aeropostale's metrics are headed in the wrong direction, as seen in the following chart.
ARO Operating Margin TTM data by YCharts
Operating margin, which is currently at 2.49%, started a steep decline in 2010, and hasn't stopped sliding since. Meanwhile, total expenses rose 54.84%. These numbers indicate that Aeropostale can't continue its trend of sacrificing its margins to drive sales, because soon there won't be any margins left to sacrifice.
First quarter outlook confirms a continued nosedive
Unfortunately, Aeropostale's first quarter forecast confirms that the company is unable to pull out of this nosedive towards negative profit margins and quarterly losses. The company expects to report a loss between 15 cents to 20 cents per share in the current quarter, far below the profit of 9 cents per share that analysts had hoped for.
Are teens and tweens simply tired of Aeropostale?
Although I believe some of Aeropostale's pain can be attributed to macro factors, such as the payroll tax hike and delayed tax returns, I believe that Aeropostale is simply losing ground against competitors such as Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF), Gap (NYSE: GPS) and American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE: AEO). Other retailers such as rue 21, Forever 21, Hot Topic (NASDAQ: HOTT) and H&M are also further fragmenting the market.
Aeropostale's 'core basics' business, which includes its graphics T-shirts and fleeces, is experiencing waning popularity with its target teen and tween demographic. To put it bluntly, teens and tweens may simply be getting bored of Aeropostale's styles.
In my opinion, Aeropostale's focus on teens and tweens is simply not diversified enough for today's rapidly shifting retail environment. Gap's diverse portfolio of brands - which include the lower-priced Old Navy, the mid-priced Gap and the higher-end Banana Republic - helped the company maintain balance in a challenging macro environment. Meanwhile, Hot Topic has maintained and edge with its popular graphics T-shirts, which helped its stock climb 38% over the past twelve months.
More questionable decisions
When a company's margins are contracting to the point of unprofitability and its expenses are rising, it's not a good idea to expand. However, Aeropostale is planning to open 14 new namesake stores and add 60 new P.S. locations in fiscal 2013. The company also intends to renovate 30 stores while closing 15 to 20 non-performing namesake stores.
Throughout fiscal 2012, Aeropostale repurchased 3 million shares, worth $40.8 million, which was a questionable move, considering two main factors.
First, it would have made been more prudent to wait for a sharp price decline (such as now) to buy back shares at a discount. Second, that money would have been better spent elsewhere - such as on marketing, product development or promotions.
The Foolish Bottom Line
If the above reasons still haven't convinced you of the gravity of Aeropostale's situation, then perhaps this table - which measures its fundamental performance against Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters - will.
Source: Yahoo Finance, March 16, quarterly reports
Aeropostale's weak same-store sales growth, dangerously slim profit margin, mediocre growth prospects (based on its PEG ratio), and high P/E valuation all point to lower prices down the road.
Finally, a look at Aeropostale's top and bottom line growth over the past three years versus these three rivals simply serves as a final confirmation of the company's bleak future.
All U.S. apparel retailers are expected to suffer to some degree in the first half of 2013 due to macro issues - but some will fall much farther than others. Avoid Aeropostale - this company could become as defunct as the French aviation company for which it is named.

Clearwire's new 4G handsets may have a VoIP twist
The WiMax operator will support others VoIP services on its new handsets, paving the way for a possible Clear-branded voice service over its 4G network in the future.
Industry News
Briefing Room
As Clearwire (NASDAQ:CLWR) gears up to offer its first WiMax handsets later this year, it finds itself in unique position among wireless operators. It has no legacy voice service or network to maintain and thus has a clean slate to offer the first U.S. mobile voice service based entirely on voice over IP.
Chief commercial officer Mike Sievert said Clearwire is definitely investigating offering voice as an another IP service over its 4G WiMax network, and as Clearwires footprint grows it could eventually become the dominant voice service on its network, obviating the need for a CDMA 1X connection that will be standard in its initial handsets. But Sievert said if such a VoIP service does happen it will be further down road. At launch, Clearwire will most likely rely on Sprint (NYSE:S) or other network-sharing partners for their CDMA connections, he said.
Mobile VoIP is definitely something were very interested in, but we wont default to VoIP when we first launch, Sievert said. Clearwire, however, plans to work closely with third-party VoIP providers to support their voice services on their network. Many of Clearwires customers already use VoIP services over the WiMax networks, using clients in their laptops or other devices connected to the 4G network through a Wi-Fi router. Sievert plans to extend that flexibility to handsets. At least one of the two, Samsungs multimedia handset, will use the Android operating system, which already has several VoIP applications available to it. The higher bandwidths and lower latencies of the WiMax network will only ensure a better voice experience over those clients much more consistent than a 3G network, Sievert added.
While supporting all VoIP, Sievert drew the line at the prospect of Clearwire partnering with a VoIP provider like Skype to become the "official" or integrated VoIP provider for the Clear service. When you press send the call will route to the cellular network, Sievert said.
Clearwire still has a ways to go before it can offer a nationwide VoIP-over-4G service. Though in the middle of a large-scale WiMax rollout targeting 120 million pops covered by year end, Clearwire will still only have one-third of the population blanked with 4G by the time its handsets go on sale. If Clearwire is to offer nationwide and voice and data plans to its handset subscribers, it will have to rely heavily on partners to fill in its 4G holes for both voice and data. Luckily for Clearwire, it has an ideal partner lined up. Not only is primary investor Sprint wholesaling CDMA 1X and EV-DO network access to Clearwire, just as the former buys 4G access from the latter, Sprint is spurring its vendors to build dual-mode CDMA-WiMax devices, an ecosystem Clearwire can tap into for its own 3G-4G service.

Graphics By Fancy Face Kreations
Jenn is a well known actress and plus size model best known for her role as Lisa on Dave Chapelle's Chapelle Show "Mad Real World" episode. This show was a spoof of The Real World on MTV.
Jenn is also a plus model and has been in many runway shows and ads for plus designers. She also holds a master's degree in acting from Columbia University in New York City. She has been on Broadway as well as the small screen. Currently Jennifer is an executive producer on the film Jenacide based on the story of the Jena 6 in Louisiana.
What I loved about speaking with Jennifer is that she is MORE than just a pretty face. In modeling, we are taught that you have to be able to do more than just smile and walk. You need to be able to function on both sides of the camera. As you can see from her bio, Queen Jennifer is one hard working woman. Along with the many hats she wears; model, actress, manager, producer, she is also wife to former WWE Champion and Motivational Speaker, Ezekiel Jackson, and mother to two beautiful children.
Model of the Month Jenn Perkins by Slidely Slideshow
As Jen inspired me with her humble spirit and words of encouragement, you could feel the love she has for her family as she spoke about her husband, Ezekiel and children and sent pictures along with hers. In what most would call a "Man's World, Jennifer can definitely take care of herself, but it's refreshing to know that she also never loses sight of what's truly important, family.
As mentioned earlier, her husband Ezekiel, is a former WWE Champion, Motivational speaker as well as a trainer. His webiste, PHYSZEKE , offers 1-1 assestments, skype and online coaching, injury prevention, rehabilitation and much more. This makes Jenn and hubby a power couple in the Full Figured Community. Although we love to keep our curves, this does not mean that we should not exercise and take care of our bodies. What a great way to reach the masses and spread the word of health and beauty.
If you would like to contact Jennifer Stephens for apperances, modeling or acting, you may do so here.

Companies in Delhi are taking bigger safety precautions to protect their female employees after the horrific gang rape of a young female student in New Delhi, The Economic Times reports.
In one company, a senior manager took extra effort to have a personal chat with a female expat employee, explaining safety regulations and the necessary precautions that she should take, reported the The Economic Times.
Greater awareness is especially important for female expats as they look, sound and think in a vastly different manner from the locals in Delhi, said The Economic Times. Being unfamiliar with the culture, safety standards and communication methods of the locals, their added foreignness could put them in potential danger, the report said.
On December 16, the 23-year-old physiotherapy student was raped and assaulted by six men on a moving bus in Delhi. She suffered serious injuries and died in a Singapore hospital on Dec 29. The incident has sparked a general sentiment of increased cautiousness amongst female expats. At least 10 women - either multinationals or entrepreneurs – whom The Economic Times spoke to revealed that the incident made them more cautious.
However, most foreigners working in India are likely to be earning a higher income and can hence afford more protective safety service. This gives them an advantage over their local counterparts, said The Economic Times.

Tuesday, the new leader of the Clark Cup champion Dubuque Fighting Saints met with the media. After two league championships in three years-- the Fighting Saints turn over the reigns of the USHL's most successful franchise..To 47 year-old Matt Shaw becomes the fighting Saints new head coach and General Manager.

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi was showered with international praise on Wednesday as he brokered a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
On Friday, he was the target of angry protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square as they denounced Morsi's decision to grant himself sweeping new powers a day earlier.
The demonstrators clashed with Morsi's supporters from the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo and several other cities, vividly illustrating the unresolved political issues in Egypt nearly two years after the revolution that ousted the former president, Hosni Mubarak.
Morsi announced his expanded authority on Thursday, saying it would only be temporary until a new parliament and a new constitution were put in place.
NPR's Leila Fadel, reporting from Cairo, told Morning Edition that with these decrees "there's no way at this point to question anything that Mohammed Morsi does."
"There is a real concern that Egypt is becoming a dictatorship again under Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood leadership," she added.
The Associated Press noted that Morsi does have his backers:
"The president's supporters cast the decrees as the next logical step to consolidate the gains of the 2011 uprising that overthrew Mubarak, and the only way to break through the political deadlock preventing the adoption of a new constitution. Courts dissolved both parliament and an earlier constitutional assembly earlier this year, and were weighing cases on whether to dissolve it again."
But Morsi's critics said the move was reminiscent of Mubarak and other Arab autocrats who were targeted in the Arab uprisings.
Mohamed ElBaradei, former head of the U.N.'s nuclear agency, called Morsi a "new pharaoh," the AP reported.
The Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists dominated elections in Egypt after the revolution. Young, secular Egyptians who led the protests against Mubarak say they have been marginalized since his overthrow.

On Thursday NewsChannel 11 answered many calls from concerned Brownfield residents. Rumors were swirling around the town that they no longer had a working Fire Department.
After a decision made in Brownfield city council Thursday morning, many volunteer firefighters say they are upset and ready to hang up their uniform. One former volunteer firefighter released this statement. "Members of the Brownfield Fire Department were denied access by the Brownfield Chief of Police to an open meeting at the Brownfield City Council after these actions this morning, the Brownfield City Council, the majority of the Brownfield Fire Department resigned," said former volunteer firefighter Mike Dawson.
But the Mayor of Brownfield says that is untrue. He says on Thursday morning, six volunteer fire fighters turned in their gear, but no official resignation. There are four paid firefighters and 20-25 volunteer firefighters in Brownfield. The Mayor says the volunteer firefighters are upset because of the decision to make one of the paid firefighters a department head and fire chief, a new position that works with the city.
"It's just grown people acting like children," said Mayor Glenn Waters. The previous fire chief, who was elected by the volunteers, remains the fire marshal with the same salary and schedule.
"I'm sorry that's not the way things need to be if they are volunteers they are volunteers they aren't supporting a person, they are supporting the people of Brownfield the paid fireman are always going to be there if one of them wants to resign we've got some other people that will take their place," said Waters.
And despite many rumors, this station is still running, if there were to be a fire in Brownfield this station would be ready to respond.
The volunteer firefighters couldn't comment further, on advice from their attorney, who they hired to renegotiate with the city.

AFRICA/CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC - The advance of the rebels towards the east seems to have stopped
Bangui (Agenzia Fides) - The advance towards the east of the dissident faction of Seleka who conquered Bangassou on March 11, in south-eastern Central African Republic (see Fides 03/12/2013) seems to have stopped.
"I was able to contact the mission of Rafai which is 150 km from Bangassou. The rebels have not entered the mission but they managed to steal missionary father's car and then left again heading towards Bangassou" says to Fides Agency His Exc. Mgr. Juan José Aguirre Munos, Bishop of Bangassou.
"Thank God, therefore the rebels have not continued towards the town of Rafa or beyond this, towards Zemio and Obo. In this last place the Seleka men would have to face the military and especially the Central African Ugandan soldiers and Americans and even the LRA rebels, " added the Bishop. "So in the end the rebels have returned to Bangassou, where so far we have not had precise information about the situation," concluded Mgr. Aguirre Munos. (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 13/03/2013)

Hi all
Im not sure where to put this, but i think it might live here.... but here goes
We have some students with there own machines on the network, but what seems to be appearing is that we are getting multiple MAC address on a single switch port.
We have disconnected these users from the main network, but when we go and have a look at the machine, all seems to be fine, no special piece of software, and AV is up to date and a full scan brings up nothing.
So we are a bit stumped, and unsure if this is a hardware fault or an virus or trojan which is causing this...
Any help would be great

Olsson, Otto: Symphony in G minor, Op. 11
Otto Olsson
Mats Liljefors
Gävleborg SO
CDS 1020-2 Otto Olsson (1879-1964): Symphony in G minor, Op. 11. Gävleborg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mats Liljefors
This must be heard to be believed. It is nearly impossible to grasp or understand the background of this monumental symphony. In an interview with the composer just before his death he was asked about his works, nothing in the shelves? Or in a drawer? No, nothing, said Otto Olsson. Not a word about this colossal work! It was indeed found in a drawer after the composer died. It is hardly possible to believe that the composer could really have forgotten this work. It does indeed have monumental proportions. It is unique also in structure. The whole work is nearly 58 minutes long, rather like a Bruckner symphony! The adagio in more than 23 minutes alone! And it must be heard to be believed. Here is nothing else that one of the greatest romantic adagios of all times, regardless of country. At least in Sweden this work ought to be played as a standard work for all our orchestras. It is really a shame that the Otto Olsson did not find any more time or inspiration to write more symphonies. I can promise all listeners an experience beyond most when hearing the great theme in the third movement played by the whole orchestra together from about middle of the slow movement. Also the other movements have greatness. The remarkable scherzo and the Mendelsohnian monumental theme that ends the work. I once heard that a symphony could be measured in quality if it contains also memorable solos. Well, this symphony has it all. Even a full measured choral fugue! Please, listen to this work and you will have an experience of your life. Similarities with other composers? Not really, perhaps Sibelius in the outer movements.

What exactly is Kindles for Kids?
Kindles for Kids is my way of paying it forward. My goal is to raise enough funds to purchase 10 Kindle Fires for the pediatric unit of a local hospital in UT.
How does Kindles for Kids work?
From March 12th-31st of 2012, I will be donating the *royalties I make on THE FAIRY GODMOTHER DILEMMA: CATSPELL–both in paper and e-book form–toward the purchase of the Kindle Fires.
Royalties are paid a month to two months after the fact. Factoring in that as well as putting in the order, receiving them, and getting them ready, I will be delivering the Kindle Fires to the hospital in June of 2012.
How can you participate?
If you are an author (published) or a writer (unpublished), this link will explain it more. A more detailed link can be found here. In short, I'm hosting an open call for donating **books you have the rights to for the hospital. One book per Kindle Fire. You can also participate by writing a ***short story for a fairy tale anthology I'm putting together for the hospital. If you're a reader, this link will give you a few ideas on how to help spread the word.
How can you help?
The greatest help of all is to help me get the word out. You can do this by talking to people–online and in real life, posting about Kindles for Kids on forums, groups, on your blog, and by printing out and posting fliers. More detailed link here, as well as details for a photo contest. Link for the flyer
