It was the worst of times. As dreadful as the St Louis Rams have been over the past decade, the nadir of this period – and of the history of the franchise – was the disastrous 2009 season. With only one win in Steve Spagnuolo's first season as head coach, the Rams hit rock-bottom with the worst record in the League. Terrible coaching and awful execution made the team a laughing stock and drove fans to despair. Good days.
Fast-forward five years and the Rams seem on the brink of finally regaining some semblance of dignity as contenders in the National Football League. But, with so much hope and expectation on such young shoulders, how do today's Rams compare to the team that plunged Rams Nation into depths normally reserved for Browns fans?
The starting quarterback at the time was Marc Bulger. A plucky over-achiever and one-time crowd-favorite, Bulger was clearly in the decline of his career and ended the year on Injured Reserve, with Kyle Boller and Keith Null taking the reins, neither of them with much success. Bulger's Week 9 appearance against Arizona was his last as a Ram, and he was let go in the off-season, sadly failing to see the field again. However polarizing a figure he might be, Bulger's eventual replacement – Sam Bradford, whom the Rams drafted with the first overall pick that was the reward for their catastrophic season – is clearly a more natural talent with more significant experience following his days at Oklahoma. Bradford may also be inconsistent and might not have delivered on his potential, but he is undoubtedly better placed to lead a franchise than his predecessor.
Of course, Bulger's falloff may have had much to do with the fact that he had spent most of his last few years running for his life behind a leaky offensive line that comprised Alex Barron and his false starts, Richie Incognito and his anger management issues, backup-caliber Adam Golberg, and Jason Brown and Jacob Bell, the latest in a string of over-paid, under-achieving free agents (more on those later!). This was a horrific motley crew of offensive linemen that are easily outmatched by the current crop, little aided by first round pick Jason Smith, who spent more of the season injured before going on to achieving next to nothing.
As for receivers, the Rams' starters were oft-injured Donnie Avery and rookie Brandon Gibson, with occasional contributions from Laurent Robinson, the memorable Keenan Burton, and a yet-to-blossom Danny Amendola. Randy McMichael was the starting tight end (remember what I said earlier about free agents?), while Mike Karney was, perhaps, the Rams' last true fullback. And while today's receivers and tight ends might be under-performing, they are certainly no worse than this lot, with ten more touchdowns between them last season.
But carrying the load of the offense, of course, was running back Steven Jackson. 39 carried the ball for over 1,400 yards that season as he continued to put his body on the line for a sake of a moribund franchise. It was Jackson's continued efforts to make the offense relevant that made him every fan's favorite and will ensure him a perennial place in Rams Nation's affections.
The defense was not much better. A fading Leonard Little and the tenacious James Hall somehow kept Chris Long from being a starter, and the defensive wall provided by Gary Gibson and Clifton Ryan is a far cry from what we expect from today's incumbents. Perhaps the main comparison is that, last season, Robert Quinn single-handedly gained more sacks than the whole of the 2009 defensive line. The linebackers were not much better either, comprising promising rookie James Laurinaitis, Mr Irrelevant David Vorbora and…Paris Lenon? Current starters Laurinatis, Alec Ogletree and Jo-Lonn Dunbar would have these guys for breakfast.
And, as for the secondary…it might be best to avert your gaze. The starting cornerbacks were Ron Bartell and a forgettable Quincy Butler, while the safety positions were manned by James Butler (there's another one of 'those' free agents!) and hard-hitting O. J. Atogwe before the Redskins spoiled him. The fact that this quartet managed to snag no more than five interceptions between them goes some way towards explaining why the Rams lost fifteen games that season.
Apart from Jackson and his successor Zac Stacy, and Atogwe and Lamarcus Joyner (mainly by virtue of the fact that the latter is still to play a down for the Rams and is more of an unknown quantity than fellow rookie projected starters Greg Robinson and Aaron Donald), I would argue that EVERY position is stronger heading into next season than back in 2009, in some cases significantly so. This shows how far the Rams have come since those days, a source of great joy for every Rams fan who sincerely hopes that those dreadful times are far behind.

The only things that are needed for a successful wedding are the groom, the bride, the minister and last but not least, love. All of the other aspects are purely optional and might even cause unnecessary stress. This article provides valuable advice that will help make your wedding planning more manageable, so that you can focus on the things that truly make your wedding important.
Religion is an important element of your wedding and married life. Be sure to discuss this with your partner, as well as their family, in order to really understand their views, especially if different from your own.
Getting married in the peak wedding season can cost a small fortune. Traditional wedding season is from May to September. It is at this time that wedding venues will cost the most. If you must book a space in these months, be certain to book way ahead of time to get a reasonable deal.
If you choose to take care of your own food serving at your wedding, try going to wholesale stores, such as Costco. When shopping wholesale, you can get large amounts of food for cheaper than you could if you did not wholesale shop. See if your friends can chip in for food costs.
Choosing your favorite gown online can be faster and cheaper, but do so well in advance to allot extra time for alterations. It is also important to realize that alterations can cost quite a bit of money. Be sure to work the additional cost for alterations into your overall budget.
The most critical factor to keep in mind when you are getting married is of course the person you are marrying! Don't rush this decision, as it alters your life like no other. Give this person's habits and peccadilloes a great deal of consideration.
You can rent jewelery and diamonds if you wish to look at your best but cannot afford to. This will give you the stunning look that you desire but will not cost you a lot of money, allowing you to stick to your budget.
You should put a great deal of thought into writing your wedding vows. Understand that marriage is a very strong commitment that requires the both of you to make sacrifices. Make your love for your spouse-to-be crystal clear in your vows.
Before choosing a photographer, you should interview several talented persons. You never want a photographer who is unlikely to make you happy in the end. To find reputable photographers near you, browse online review sites or get a personal recommendation from someone you know.
Make certain that your choice for the reception has enough dancing space. There is nothing worse than being crammed like sardines while the people around you are trying to do the Mashed Potato, so move some tables and chairs to make the extra room you need to get your groove on!
Avoid having your guests standing around waiting while you have your pictures taken. The photos concerning the rest of the wedding party should be done in advance. You can also take your pictures with your respective parents in advance of the wedding. This will leave you more time to spend with your guests.
"Destination" wedding guests will appreciate a thoughtful gift of vacation items awaiting them in their rooms. You can include tidbits like tourist maps, sunglasses, novelty towels or even information on nearby attractions. Be sure to include a local restaurant guide and possibly some coupons to make dining easy.
One of the many queries we are asked is "how do I find a wedding photographer?" Of course you can try your regional telephone directory, but these days the smartest way is to use a search engine like Yahoo. For your search term enter a phrase like "wedding photography your town" swapping the name of the town for the correct city or wedding venue. This will deliver a list of professional photographers like Devon Wedding Photographer. Prepare a list and arrange appointments to go and visit at least four of them just before making a selection. Make sure you view a full wedding, not just their favourite images.
When you plan out tables at the wedding, be sure that there's even numbers of guests sitting at them. If you put people of the same age together at tables they will have more to talk about.
Even if you have your dress picked out and purchased, it is smart to keep it at the bridal shop until your wedding day. If you keep it in a closet, you run the risk of wrinkles or stains. It can be safely kept at the store until you need it and can be freshly steamed when you pick it up.
In conclusion, only very few things are necessary to have an ideal wedding. Aside from the bare basics, there are many optional upgrades. These things may be nice to get, but they also stress you out and that drains your happiness. Follow the advice in this article, and your wedding planning will become easier and more manageable. It will make your wedding happier for everyone involved, including you.

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.

Leesburg-- A night of good food, games and auctions will add up to therapeutic fun for people with disabilities.
Dozens of people filled Hunny Pot Stables Friday for Derby Day in October.

Proceeds from the event are used to care for the horses, to buy equipment and for the Special Olympics.
"People don't realize, it usually costs about $2,500 to $3,000 atleast to keep one horse every year and right now we have 15 horses that we're using," says Director Tara Okon.
The center hoped to raise at least $10,000 from the fundraiser.

Sweet blue or white poppy seeds are used in baking, on bread, rolls, muffins, and cake. Also great for fruit salad dressing. Poppy seeds have a high, flavorful oil content. Refrigerate or freeze during summer months.
Holland blue poppy seed is the most famous poppy of all, with "A-1" being the top grade seed. A smoky blue-gray seed with an unparalleled flavor and sweetness, it is prized by every Gramma who has ever baked a stollen.
White poppy seeds are used in Indian cooking adding thickness, texture and flavor to sauces. Less sweet than blue poppy, they are added to lentil and rice dishes.

Chapter 3.
Once Asia finished eating I began to get ready for work. I walked into my closet and picked out a white dress that was knee high and black leggings.The white dress had Black lacing through it and I grabbed my black sweater to go over it. I smiled to myself as Spring was officially arriving. Winters in Newark are incredibly freezing and no matter what Jacket I wear I'm still an icicle. Now that it's warmer I can actually wear dresses. I put my outfit on and walked to the bathroom where I stared at the mirror for a minute.Nothing had changed too much about my appearance. I was still short. My once shoulder length hair had grown several inches and I had it layered with blonde flyaways. I pulled the front part of my hair up and applied my makeup. When I finished with my eyeliner, I walked back to my bedroom and grabbed my necklace and my black ballet flats. I called for Asia so that I could get her dressed. I met her in her room where I picked out a white and hot pink polkadot shirt with matching pants and her favorite sneakers. I pulled hair into a ponytail and let some bangs hang down. When she was ready I grabbed my purse and keys and we were out the door.
I dropped Asia at the small daycare center they have in Newark, it was pretty nice for a daycare and Asia had plenty of friends including her best friend Tianna. " Bye love,I'll see
later kay? be good." I said giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Bye mommy I wuv you." she mumbled. "I love you too." I smiled as she ran to the coloring center where Tianna and her both shared a hug and they began coloring. I waved to the Katie who was the daycarewatcher for the day.
SceneStyle Inc.,was a good 10 minute drive from my apartment.It was a pretty big building. I ran my ID through the scan and waited for the light to flash green. I opened the door and greeted Laila who was the receptionist. Normally Laila isn't to friendly but she always was with me. I walked into my small office where I had a papers stacked neatly on my desk. It was sketch ideas for Paramore's new merchandise. It was halfway finished all they needed was new shirts to sell on Warped Tour this year. I sat down and began to sketch out the rest of the sketch I had done yesterday. It was a white Tee, Paramore was written in neon Pink and it had neon blue and green splatters on it. A black and rose pink lightning strike went through it and it had small orange hearts on it. That was the girl tee's. The guy tee's was a blue shirt with Paramore written in green and Riot! was written 3 times in orange with black splatters also. All in all it looked amazing. I was finally done and it only took 3 hours. I looked at the small digital clock where it blared 10:12. I looked at the pictures that were framed at my desk. One was a picture of Asia when she was 4 months old and one where it was professionally done that was taken on Halloween. She was dressed as a ladybug and she was smiling a toothless smile and her small baby hands grabbed a pumpkin. I smiled as it seems like yesterday that she was barely learning to crawl. I put my sketches into a manila folder and walked them over to Charlie's office. Charlie was pretty much the best boss you could ever have as long as you don't get him mad. Then it's a different story. I knocked two times until it was confirmed to come in. I opened the door and Charlie was on the phone but hung up when I came fully in. "Ah! hey Talisa,good to see you, have you finished Paramore's shirts yet?" I nodded and handed him my folder. "Yes sir just now." he also nodded and began to flip through the white papers. I
waited for his approval but I wasn't sure until he finally closed the folder. "Very nice Talisa, very nice." I breathed in relief. "Thank you sir." I smiled.
"Great! well let me get these to Charlotte who will give them to Paramore's Rep and we'll go from there." He smiled. I nodded. "Okay I think you're good for now, I may need you to for another project." "Ofcourse sir,just say the word." I laughed. "Thank you Talisa." He said getting up from his chair. I gave a nod and went back to my office where I overlooked
minor projects and doing final touches for small upcoming bands. There's one in paticular named 'CrazedLove'. I met the lead singer named Trae and he was absolutely sweet. I got
to listen to a demo and all they're songs are my favorite. I'm proud to do they're merchandise. Being a project designer is awesome yet stressful. I sometimes have to do several merchandise at once and it becomes a handful but I still love it.
I had knocked out most projects and by the time I noticed it was already lunch. I walked down to the cafeteria and grabbed a chicken salad and a mountain dew. I sat down and grabbed my cellphone out and called the daycare to check on Asia. I talked to Katie and Asia was playing storytime with Tianna and her other friend Rose. I thanked her and hung up the phone. I was halfway finished when a girl came up to me and smiled. She looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. "Hi,I'm sorry to bother you but are you any chance "Talisa Mohr?" the girl asked. Her brown hair was curled and she wore white rimmed glasses. She had a Black pantsuit on with a beautiful black heart necklace on.
"Uh yes I am,you look familiar do I know you?" I asked softly. She looked so familiar! "We went to school together." she smiled. I studied her carefully when it hit me.
"Sadie! Sadie Hawthorne?" I asked hoping it was her,I would like an complete idiot if it wasn't. "Yeah it's me." she laughed. I gasped. "Hi how are you? I haven't seen you since we graduated." She looked good. "Thank you so do you, I didn't know you worked here" she smiled. "Yeah for two years now,when did you start?" "it'll be 3 years in two days." She giggled. "Wow! are you a merhcandise rep?" I asked. I wonder what she did, I haven't seen her here ever.
"Oh no,I'm a tour manager." My eyes widened."Really? that's awesome." "yeah it's pretty cool,but it'll only be for a few more months,I'll be leaving on maternity leave." I stared confused and looked at her stomach and indeed there was a bump. I smiled. "Aww congradualations." "Thank you.I'm so sorry but I have to go, I just wanted to say hi,maybe we could do lunch sometime? to catch up?" "Ofcourse! Anytime." "great! here." she said grabbing a piece of paper out and writing numbers down. "here,call me sometime." I grabbed the paper from her hands and smiled."yeah totally. Good seeing you Sadie." "Likewise" she giggled and walked away.
I finished the last of my salad and threw it in the trash and walked back to my office,where I saw yellow post-its stuck on my desk. One read 'conference meeting' thursday. Another
read 'don't forget to have your design layout on Friday,we need to be prepared when Maia Revanoli comes. I groaned. Maia Revanoli was a upscale high class lady who was uber picky about the smallest things. She was coming on Friday to discuss the marketing compaign for SceneStyle. I took off the post-its and tossed them in the trashcan.
Just then Charlie walked in."Talisa! I need your help with this real quick. Me and Shana can't decide wether or not to use this style or that one for Paige's album cover. Paige Stewart was another upcoming singer ; she was okay. I looked at the two covers and they both sucked but if I had to choose one it would be the beige one. "Umm the beige?" Charlie looked at me then the paper and nodded. "I like it! Thanks Talisa you're the sweetest." he said walking back out. I continued on with my the small projects and before I knew it it was 30 minutes before I could go home.
I was wrapping up the last of it when Charlie came back in and was smiling like a little kid. "Charlie may I ask what hit your funny bone?" I laughed. "Hmm? oh i'm sorry guess who
were in charge of doing they're new album and merchandise?" he gushed. "umm Madonna?" I said sarcastically. He laughed. "I wish! but still good." "okay who?" I asked.
"My Chemical Romance!" He laughed. I choked. "Who?!" I asked. Maybe I misheard him. "MCR is coming on thursday to discuss they're new album! can you believe it?" My heart pumped super fast and I swear i'm gonna faint. "yeah that's awesome." I mumbled.He smiled and went back to his office where I sat back down in my seat and put my head in my hands.This was not happening. This was not happening!! They're coming? here? omg.omg.omg.No that's not possible oh god no!
That means that...........He's coming. I breathed a deep breath as the picture of Asia stared me in the eye.


text: The Acura Integra, much like the Honda Civic, defined a generation of modern-day hot rodders. With its relatively light chassis, excellent suspension setup and plethora of B-series engine options, it was the perfect FWD platform to modify and go fast in. In early 2000, the Integra was replaced with the RSX, but to much chagrin, the RSX proved to be inferior to the Integra in many ways and never really caught on. To this day, there are few FWD cars (new and old) that can compete with the Integra's bang-for-the-buck performance, hence why it's been in our project car stable for more than two years. There's just so much you can do in so many different ways, but the end result is always the same: it's an incredibly fun car to drive. Our DC2 Integra started out life as a '99 GS-R model, but upon purchasing it sight unseen (other than a few photos) from an auction house for just over $2,500, it turned out that all the guts of the GS-R were replaced with LS model parts, including the engine. The body was also heavily vandalized, but that all made it an even better candidate for a project car. The exterior mattered the least, as the goal was to build a fast and fun street/strip car with a modest budget. However, if you look at the photos right now, the paint is really starting to show its age and it's becoming increasingly difficult to drive the car with pride. A paint job is on the wish list, but the DC2 has always been more about performance than looks. Paint is a low priority, so unless we find someone to paint the car on the cheap, it'll stay that way. Painting the rollbar proved to be time consuming because of all the masking. At the heart of the chassis is a K20A2 powerplant. Simply put, it's by far the best modification done to the car, albeit a complicated one. The K-series swap in the Integra chassis provides power potential that no B-series can match. With simple bolt-ons (K-tuned intake and header, a Church Automotive reflash and a Vibrant 3-inch exhaust) our K20 made 228 whp and 173 ft-lbs of torque. But the best part of all is how rock-solid reliable it has been. Oil changes are the only maintenance item ever done to the motor, with countless track days under its belt. Despite the initial high buy-in price of a K-swap, it proves its value the more you use it. These days, it's even easier than ever to install with companies like Hybrid Racing and K-tuned building swap-specific parts. Once the paper was laid down, some acetone was used to clean the metal - then the rattle can paint job commenced. Once the paper was laid down, some acetone was used to clean the metal - then the rattle c Using the Type-R's amazing handling prowess as the driving force behind our suspension buildup, our DC2 has been equipped with a complete Type-R brake setup, including the control arms, calipers and hubs. After all, it's hard to beat Honda OEM quality. We replaced the stock struts and shocks with KW variant 3 coilovers that have provided a great amount of adjustability to properly dial the suspension setup in. So far, it has worked incredibly well both on the track and off. The latest and probably last additions to the setup are Type-R front and rear sway bars. By flexing less than the GS-R bars, they help improve cornering grip by transferring more contact patch to the opposing tire in a corner. Sportcar Motion took care of the relatively simple install. While the front bar bolts in, the rear stock GS-R subframe can't be used with the Type-R sway bar. You could replace the subframe with a Type-R unit or just buy an ASR subframe brace that allows the use of the Type-R sway bar. If you've been following the DC2 Project car closely, you'll remember that a couple months back the decision was made to build the car into a more track-oriented vehicle. That meant a rollbar was welded in, courtesy of Robi-Spec, and rattled-canned black by yours truly to avoid rusting. The carpet was reinstalled to keep it somewhat street-worthy, but anything of significant weight was tossed. The sunroof was pulled and plugged by a carbon-fiber cap by lighter-faster.com, and just before the photo shoot for this issue, the heavy metal hatch and hood were replaced by carbon-fiber units from Seibon. The ASR subframe brace allowed for the Type-R sway bar to bolt up to the GS-R rear subframe; the brace's added benefit is that it also stiffens up the rear.

Swim Club Invites Kids Back after Racism Allegations
Duesler said the club canceled its contract with the Creative Steps day-care because of safety, crowding and noise concerns, not racism.
"As long as we can work out safety issues, we'd like to have them back," she told CNN.
She said the club has been subpoenaed by the state Human Rights Commission, which has begun a fact-finding investigation, "and the legal advice was to try to get together with these camps, " Duesler added.
Alethea Wright, Creative Steps' director, said, "They should have done that before."
Wright has repeatedly lambasted the club for its tepid response to the charges and said the children in her care were "emotionally damaged" by the incident.
"These children are scarred. How can I take those children back there?" she said.
However, Wright's lawyer, Carolyn Nicholas, said the center will give the Valley Club's offer "due consideration" once it is received and looks forward to sitting down with the parties.
"The children are our primary concern," Nicholas told CNN.
Swimming privileges for about 65 children from Creative Steps were revoked after their first visit June 29. Some children said white members of the club made racist comments to the children, asking why "black children were there" and raising concerns that "they might steal from us."
Days later, the day-care center's $1,950 check was returned, Wright said.
Club director John Duesler told CNN that he had underestimated the amount of children who would participate, and the club was unable to supervise that many kids. He called his club "very diverse," and said it had offered to let day camps in the Philadelphia area use his facility after budget cuts forced some pools in the area to close.
Wright has rejected the camp's contention that the swim club's pool was overcrowded. The club had accepted a 10-to-1 ratio of children to adults and was considering adding up to three lifeguards, according to e-mails obtained by CNN.
But John Duesler said last week that the Valley Club also canceled contracts with two other day-care centers because of safety and overcrowding issues.
The Pennsylvania Human Rights Commission launched an investigation last week after allegations of racism at the Valley Club. The commission said that as part of any investigation, the two sides eventually could be asked to sit down face-to-face with its investigators.
"We always encourage opposing parties to communicate with one another if they feel they can resolve these issues amicably," Commission Chairman Stephen Glassman said.
Bernice Duesler said she wasn't yet sure how the club will "reach out" to Creative Steps and the other two camps. And Wright said she still has concerns about the issue.
"Are the members who made those comments still there?" she asked.
Read more hot stories Moms Are Talking About.
It is difficult for me to digest the way the situation handled. Safety should have been a concern when the contract was made but in hearing the club's own safety position they had enough life guards on hand that day. Even if some were short they could have allowed the kids to swim in shifts if "safety" was actually the major concern.
Blacks cry and get w/e they want, they're all children, not just the kids.
Now watch as white attendance drops as the little black kids, bully them around and destroy the place.

She is a racist and needs to resign.
I was so proud when he called her on it and it got heated as she kept digging a hole on the issue, saying she just wanted to show the diverse opinions on the issue and he kept questioning why she was focusing on black groups and not expert. See it here.

Birmingham, Ala. • While the Utes' main goal for Friday's competition is to qualify for the Super Six, there are other rewards available for the Utes on Friday.
The individual all-around champion will be crowned from Friday's competition and the top four gymnasts in each event from each session will advance to Sunday's individual event finals.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Utah's best hope for the all-around title lies in junior Tory Wilson, who won the Pac-12 all-around crown and finished the regular season ranked 12th.
Being in the same session with Alabama, UCLA and Florida works in Wilson's favor, since she will be able to go head-to-head with some of the best gymnasts in the country.
UCLA's Samantha Peszek, Alabama's Kim Jacob and the Florida duo of Bridget Sloan and Alaina Johnson are among the favorites Wilson will be on the floor with Friday.
Utah coach Greg Marsden downplays the individual competition, preferring his team not focus on it.
"It's always nice to be represented, but sometimes you can try too hard with those things and you don't perform as well as you could," he said. "We like to be more low-key."
Individually, the Utes believe Georgia Dabritz could qualify on all three of her events, while Becky Tutka and Nansy Damianova have shots at qualifying on the floor.
Dabritz leads the team with 22 wins this season and finished the regular season ranked No. 1 on the uneven bars.
Wilson and Kailah Delaney lead Utah's strong vault lineup and finished the season tied for second in the national rankings. Corrie Lothrop could advance on the uneven bars or balance beam.
Her secret is …
UCLA coach Valorie Kondos Field said one of the secrets to Peszek's success this year has been the addition of hot yoga to her training regimen.
Kondos Field said Peszek is taking the classes four times a week.
"She has been able to be a lot more flexible than she was in the past," Kondos Field said. "She is healthier than she has been in many years and I attribute that to what she has been doing out of the gym."
Tried and true
The Utes don't expect to make any lineup changes for the NCAAs, believing they have found all the right combinations.
The balance beam lineup has been shuffled the most, with Dabritz performing well in her few appearances. However, the Utes expect to continue to use Breanna Hughes instead of Dabritz.Next Page >

--Symantec reports 66% drop in fiscal fourth-quarter earnings
--Reducing management structure by 30% to 40%
--Sales staff to divide into renewal and new business teams
(Updated beginning in the third paragraph with comments from Symantec's CEO.)
By Steven D. Jones
Symantec Corp.'s (SYMC) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings fell 66% amid restructuring-related expenses and other items, masking revenue growth and rising operating margins at the security-software maker.
The company also initiated a quarterly dividend of 15 cents. The dividend would provide a yield of 2.4% to shareholders, based on the closing stock price Tuesday, and cost Symantec about $428 million a year, according to data provided by FactSet Research.
The maker of Norton antivirus software and utilities to secure data storage and corporate networks is restructuring to overcome costly acquisitions and weak earnings and the changes will focus next on the sales team, Chief Executive Stephen Bennett said on the earnings call.
"Virtually everybody is changing roles because we're moving from full-line salespeople that were all generalists--selling all of our products and services--to having people that are specialists in information management or information security," he said.
Symantec will create a separate sales team to manage renewals to free field salesmen to focus on new business. The company also is reducing the ranks of management by 30% to 40% to speed decision making "and building a high-powered marketing organization," he said.
Earlier this year, Mr. Bennett proposed a "5 and 30" plan to produce 5% organic-revenue growth and 30% operating profit margins by 2015.
Chief Financial Officer James Beer said in an interview that Symantec is beginning to deliver on both goals. Revenue growth rose to 4% in the fourth quarter and 3% for all of fiscal 2013 after two years of 1% growth, "which shows we are starting to see some acceleration toward our goal," said Mr. Beer.
The company achieved higher sales of corporate security products, including growth in network backup and security appliances. "I'd be very confident we are taking market share given our growth rate there," Mr. Beer said. Growth in its data encryption and managed security services also was accelerating.
Deferred revenue grew to slightly more than $4 billion at the end of the period, reflecting continued growth in subscription sales.
"We continue to see subscriptions growing faster than the overall sales, specifically on the enterprise side of the business," he said. Most buyers of consumer security software already have converted to subscriptions, he said.
Consumer subscription revenue now makes up 44% of revenue and enterprise subscriptions make up 14%, he said.
Growth of the subscription business has made Symantec less reliant on manufacturers installing its security software on new PCs. The resulting decline in payments to original equipment manufacturers actually added a penny to per-share earnings in the quarter.
Symantec trimmed sales and marketing expense 6% in the fourth quarter and 3% for the year and will continue to focus on expense control, said Mr. Beer. On the flip side, the falling value of the Japanese yen will increase foreign exchange expense in the current quarter.
Mountain View, Calif.-based Symantec has struggled to integrate its 2005 acquisition of Veritas, a maker of corporate security tools, which it bought for $13.5 billion. Symantec's consumer-security business, led by its line of Norton products, generates about 30% of sales and nearly half of operating profit.
Along with its campaign to sell corporate security, Symantec also is shifting its consumer security business to subscription and away from one-time license sales. Several companies--including Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE)--are making similar shifts to online access.
Subscriptions provide recurring revenue and the opportunity to sell additional features; however, the accounting transition from the conventional license model, in which users pay a one-time fee for the software, has proven challenging.
Shares slipped 6.4% to $23.50 in after-hours trading. Through Tuesday's close, the stock is up by a third this year.
For the quarter ended March 29, Symantec reported a profit of $188 million, or 26 cents a share, down from $559 million, or 76 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding stock-based compensation, restructuring-related charges and other items, adjusted per-share earnings rose to 44 cents from 38 cents.
Revenue increased to $1.75 billion from $1.68 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had projected earnings of 38 cents a share on revenue of $1.73 billion.
Gross margin rose to 14.4% from 11.4%.

Instagram for iOS adds extensive new editing tools
Whether you use it to tirelessly document your meals or make your friends jealous of your vacations, Instagram is probably the go-to app for photo sharing. Thanks to its latest update, your photos will look better than ever, even if you can't stage a decent shot.
Previously Instagram featured a small number of filters and a limited amount of post-filter effects like blurring, borders, and straightening. Now all of the app's editing features are getting an upgrade. When you access one of the app's standard filters now, simply double tap on the filter's icon to adjust the strength of the filter effects. This is a major change from the app's previous "one tone fits all" approach to filtering.
Next up, there are ten new tools for improving the look of your photos that can be used with or without the filters. These new tools are accessed by clicking a new wrench icon that appears in the top right of the filtering menus. Warmth and Saturation controls will help you keep the colors in your photos rich, while adjusting lights and darks in your images has never been easier thanks to Brightness, Contrast, Highlights, and Shadows. The final new tool is a much needed Sharpen option.
You can find the new and improved Instagram right now in the iOS store.

Tribal allotments of Israel
|Tribes of Israel
|The Tribes
|Related topics
According to the Book of Joshua, Joshua divided the newly conquered land of Canaan into parcels, and assigned them to the Tribes of Israel by lot. The Book of Joshua describes the parcels by giving landmarks along the borders, or in some cases by listing the included cities. If the landmarks listed in Joshua can be identified with modern sites, the borders can be placed on a map.
A general principle, articulated by the archaeologist Yohanan Aharoni, is that each town had a surrounding territory of villages and land that were dependent on it, and the tribal borders ran along the borders of these territories, rather than through the towns themselves. It may be possible to determine the borders of town territories by looking at archaeological field surveys.
The division of Canaan into tribal territories is set at the time of Joshua's conquest. But by the Bible's account, and archaeologically as well, the Israelites did not conquer the plains at that time; thus, those borders that run through the plains are nominal; they partition land that Israel did not possess.

There are some towns in the Dan list that are not clearly identified:
- Gibbeton is commonly identified with Tel el-Melat, but this is criticized by Na`aman, on the grounds that Gibbeton was near a stream; he proposes Tel Ras Abu Hamid, which others think is Gittaim.

LEIPZIG, Germany, June 12 (UPI) — Mother gorillas use a sort of "baby talk" in their facial and hand gestures when communicating with their infants, European researchers say.
Eva Maria Luef from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, filmed 120 hours of footage of gorillas at Leipzig Zoo and two wild animal parks in Britain, the BBC reported Tuesday.
The footage showed adult female gorillas used more tactile gestures than they used with other adults when playing with infants and would "touch, stroke and lightly slap" the young gorillas, Luef said.
"The infants also received more repetition," Luef said.
This motherly communication, or "non-vocal motherese," helps the infants learn the repertoire of signals they will use as adults when communicating with the rest of the gorilla group, the researchers said.
"It also shows that older animals possess a certain awareness of the infants' immature communication skills," Luef said.
The research has been published in the American Journal of Primatology.

Much like us, our hairier cousins have their own distinct facial features, unique combinations of jawlines, eye shapes, and nasal widths that make them recognizable on sight. But have you ever studied the differences between other primates' faces?
Photographer James Mollison was struck by how similar great ape facial features are to human features, and wanted to take their portraits for much the same reason you photograph human faces: to gather a sense of identity. He traveled to Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Indonesia to photograph gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans who were orphaned by the bush meat and live pet trades. Seen together with their unique faces and expressions, it's hard not to see the apes as individuals with their own personalities.

i took the ASVAB in December 2008. The recruiter i took the test through told me i got a "94" on it, but i'm not exactly sure what that means and i never received a copy of my scores. He told me i needed to lose weight; i have since lost 30lbs, and i am considered under the max weight for me height (5'4".) I tried several times to contact him in may, but got no response. I contacted a new recruiter in my area and he told me he would have to ask for my scores so we can start talking about jobs. I wanted to know if anyone knew where i can request a copy of my asvab scores or whom i need to contact in order to receive a copy. Also, would it speed things up if i requested the information about my scores be sent to the recruiter i am currently in touch with?
I'm new to all of this but i'm doing as much research on my own as i can. Any advice or contacts would be so incredibly appreciated!
<3 Vicky Lynn
If you took the official ASVAB test your scores will be in the computer system all recruiters have access to and any recruiter should be able to look them up for you with just your name and SS#.
I am confused as to why your recruiter is asking you for them.
I wish you the best Vicky!
|New Member
ha i guess i should clarify:
my recruiter has to retrieve my scores, i'm assuming via the AF network or whatever system that is used to store that type of information. He said it would take a few days to get my scores, and that is understandable.
i am just slightly worried, for i have read more that one post on this site and others about people whose recruiters lost their scores, official paperwork, and even shipping orders.
Thank you so much for your response!

If anyone else has anything to add, please let me know! I will research any and all means so I can get the ball rolling and head up to MEPS!!
<3 Vicky Lynn
As far as what your 94 means: This is your percentile ranking compared to how the general population would score. A 94 means you scored better than 93% of all of those eligible to take the ASVAB, therefore only 6% scored better than you. ie. it's a very good score.
This won't help you, but for others, ask for your scores immediately when you finish the test. Without your line scores, the 94 doesn't mean much other than you did well. Your line scores will determine what jobs you qualify for.

I just took the ASVAB today and the administrator said I had to have my recruiter there in order to get my scores immediately. My recruiter said that this was not normal, and I was just wondering if there was somewhere I could look it up? Or do I have to wait for several days to get it?
|"Living The Dream"
How long are the ASVAB scores good for should be the question.
2 Years is what I always heard. But that was a while back. May have changed. If so you may have to take again.

Not the OP, Coker.
Confusion reigns supreme when a 2 year old thread is resurrected. Or necroed.
After hitting that bulls-eye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
Did you take it at MEPS?
I took mine at a local Army armory, and my recruiter had my test results within 2 days.
|It is what it is.
I'm sure this will get axed by Yoop since it's an old thread, but when my folks test at a MET site, meaning not at a MEPS station..usually a Coast Guard station,Air or Army national guard place,etc, I request via AFRISS(recruiting system) their scores. Usually takes overnight or a day depending on how busy out LNCO's are and I review their line scores if above a 50 QT to determine what jobs they are "potentially" qualified for, keeping in mind there is still the physical and background check portion at MEPS.

Your thinking about this from the perspective of a Diablo or World of Warcraft game. The games I'm thinking of are coming out next decade where the concept of selling to players from within the game is not only accepted but believed to be essential for games to be successful.
Let say the diablo 3 experiment is highly successful. Suddenly there is another group of people who otherwise might not be interested in the game that must now be catered towards. Development time for meaningful content is lost in favor of the next virtual goods system. Do you like popups? I sure as hell don't. If not managed properly, your gaming experience could be flooded by people trying to sell you materials for making your sword bigger (the innuendo is bad but you all get it)

Arts patrons received two different emails about a Creative Alliance exhibition featuring works from members and staff of the John Booth Senior Center.
The first version: "This showcase of [the seniors'] talent recalls the many happy times they enjoyed in creative fellowship before the center closed its doors after 45 years of continuous operation in October 2012."
The second, revised version: "The exhibit showcases the talent and fellowship of the center's free visual art classes offered to over 100 mature adults ranging from ages 55 to 93 years old."
The first, past-tense release was apparently written before or during the uncertainty tied to the public's rejection of a Recreation and Parks Department proposal to add 90-plus parking spaces to Patterson Park—a plan that also included, per the Health Department, the closure of the John Booth center and the relocation of its services to the park's Casino building.
Though its members are in a state of limbo, unsure of where they will end up, the John Booth Center remains open and active. Last Friday night at the Creative Alliance, seniors sipped wine and nibbled on cheese and crackers while they displayed their artwork to the public.
Charlotte Jankowiak, who has several mosaics and painted screens on display at the Creative Alliance exhibit, said that she has been taking advantage of the John Booth Center's free art classes for about three years.
"It's a lot of fun," Jankowiak said. "It's nice to see the finished product, to realize that you can make something."
She is most proud of a boldy-colored mosaic featuring a fish with a marble eye.
"It takes awhile to do it, but it's so worthwhile," she said.
Jankowiak volunteered that while she and her husband Richard make their art at the John Booth Center now, "I don't know where we'll be making it in the future. It's up in the air now."
Richard Jankowiak taught himself to make stained glass art when the couple wanted a special transom window for their new home.
"When I went out to price [a stained glass transom], it was really high, so I said that I would make it," he said.
It took him "about five years" to finish that first project, but now he's teaching other seniors the craft at John Booth.
Joann Scanlon, who has lived in Highlandtown near St. Elizabeth's Parish for 40 years, specializes in jewelry. She had her own business, but now makes jewelry on a request basis and for her own satisfaction.
"All our seniors do some kind of really nice work or another," she said. "We might be old, but we're not dead."
Scanlon said that she felt that the seniors' situation—an outdated facility with no alternative location identified—had been lost in the shuffle during the outcry against paving in Patterson Park. She said that the seniors themselves weren't requesting 90 parking spaces.
"We just want to be happy too," she said quietly.
"Of course, they're talking about closing the Booth Center," said Frances Baltrunas, 87, while displaying her watercolor paintings. "I'm going to be very disappointed if they do—my family's scattered, and it's really a home base for me.
Sandra Abbott, daughter of Richard and Charlotte Jankowiak and a member of the Highlandtown Arts District steering committee, had plenty to say about the situation.
"I think that was a mistake to not let them be part of the discussion," said Abbott, referring to Councilman Jim Kraft's and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's creation of the Patterson Park Working Group, which has representatives from all the neighborhoods surrounding the park, plus park-related organizations such as the Audubon Society and the Friends of Patterson Park, but not a representative from the John Booth Senior Center.
Arnold Eppel, director of the Health Department's Office on Aging is part of the group, as is Elouise Mayne, Division Chief of the Health Department.
Abbott acknowledged that the Patterson Park Planning Committee, the sister group of the Working Group, is open to anyone concerned with Patterson Park, including seniors.
"But the meetings are at 7 p.m.," she said. "The seniors don't want to move their cars, and they're afraid of being knocked over and mugged."
Abbott said that the seniors are an indispensable part of the community.
"One of the cool things about this neighborhood is it does have some of the quote un-quote oldtimers," she said. "We're losing their stories and their perspective. It's our loss not to see them as viable contributors…They need to be brought to the table and they need to be invited in a way they can participate."
The artwork from the John Booth seniors remains on display at the Creative Alliance through Dec. 23.

"[A] rewarding and captivating body of work. Moody forced me to grieve for my colonial Victorian ancestors and applaud them as they transcended racism and patriarchal restrictions. Her writing brought alive the overwhelming hardships and passions of these women."
—Black Issues Book Review
Sentimental Confessions is a groundbreaking study of evangelicalism, sentimentalism, and nationalism in early African American holy women's autobiography. At its core are analyses of the life writings of six women—Maria Stewart, Jarena Lee, Zilpha Elaw, Nancy Prince, Mattie J. Jackson, and Julia Foote—all of which appeared in the mid-nineteenth century.
Joycelyn Moody shows how these authors appropriated white-sanctioned literary conventions to assert their voices and to protest the racism, patriarchy, and other forces that created and sustained their poverty and enslavement. In doing so, Moody also reveals the wealth of insights that could be gained from these kinds of writings if we were to acknowledge the spiritual convictions of their authors—if we read them because (not although) they are holy texts. The deeply held, passionately expressed beliefs of these women, says Moody, should not be brushed aside by scholars who may be tempted to view them as naïve or as indicative only of the racial, class, and gender oppressions these women suffered. In addition, Moody promotes new ways of looking at dictated narratives without relegating them to a status below self-authored texts.
Helping to recover a neglected chapter of American literary history, Sentimental Confessions is filled with insights into the state of the nation in the nineteenth century.

Make Prettier Cookie Edges When Presentation Matters
I've spent many an evening around the kitchen table waiting for the royal icing on several hundred sugar cookies to dry. It might be for a wedding, baby shower, or party, but one thing is for sure, you don't want to make more cookies than you have to and you want them all to be perfect. Here's a simple tip to make every cookie out of your oven a winner.
The difference between sugar cookies baked at home and those we see in magazines is usually the edges. This usually has to do with the temperature of your dough and butter in your recipe, but in hot conditions and at a fast pace they can be hard to keep in check.
If the edges of your cookies are a little saggy or flat, try using a microplaner to freshen them up. Just like you would file anything else, they can take away that lame edge and leave you with something crisp and clean and photo worthy for every event. Although it might seem like a silly details, so is using royal icing to apply all those little details to a cookie of this nature and once you've gone that far, this is just one more simple step to ensure you're truly showing off all your hard work.

Great idea.
Really? This is how we're spending our time now?
This makes me want to go into the kitchen and bake up a batch of irregular, wonky-shaped cookies.
Thanks, I totally appreciate this tip. Would I do this every time? No. But many of us baker-types are perfectionists and this is a great trick to file away for when you want or need to get an absolutely picture perfect result.
I think it's a clever idea. It's not something I'd do on a regular basis, but when pesentation matters (as the title of the post says), I could see this simple trick coming in very handy.
I cannot imagine a situation where I say, "the edges on the cookies aren't smooth enough, let me get my micro-plane and fix them up"
I have three children. I have better things to be spending my time on.
hopefully they taste good enough so that nobody bothers to comment on their edges
I'm not sure I'd do this to attain perfection - but I would definitely use it to salvage burnt cookies.
I think the key words here are "when presentation matters". Obviously, this isn't something one would use every time they make cookies, but when the circumstances call for it, I think this is a great little trick to have handy.
I'm all for tips on fixing problems. I can picture having horrible cookies, and this might be the only way to save them.
@Jaimie Roo
good suggestion! i wouldn't have thought of that but it would totally work. *files away for later use*
Yep, filing this away for my next shower/tea/reception event.
Heh - filing.
Sorry about that.
I could have used this a few times when doing cookies for events. This tip is clearly meant for that, not for giving your kiddies picture perfect cookies.
What I've done is if the cookies have spread, I just use the same cutter and cut them again out of the oven. Quicker. Or, if they're all square or rectangles, I'll roll out a sheet of dough, bake, then cut with a knife.
I'm a food photographer and that's a really great tip! I've tried to shoot cookies before to shoot for my portfolio and they never come out as beautiful as they look in magazines!
Never did that but if you roll out your dough thicker and freeze a few minutes before baking you won't have as much spread, plus yes if you need neat edges with a cookies with nooks and crannies along the edge you can't fit a micoplane in there you just cut it again with the cookie cutter right after they come out of the oven.

On the Dish, Conor posts the following from a reader, who argues Gatesgate will wake-up white America to black victimization:
White Americans don't necessarily relate to the young men who are arrested for driving while black, walking while black, just being in the wrong place at the wrong time while black. You can't convince white Americans that the law is biased against blacks because whites believe (without necessarily admitting it to themselves) that young black men get arrested so disproportionately and go to prison more often because they deserve to.
And by whites, I don't mean just Neanderthals. I mean most of the people you will ever run into. They assume that black men are more disposed to crime and so they don't have to pay attention when you or Radley Balko or someone else points out how many have been railroaded.
This is patently absurd. However much sympathy Gates deserves — and I think he deserves some — there should be little question that he' ended up in jail primarily because of his own belligerence and assumption that Sgt. Crowley was a racist.* As Apollo points out, that conclusion is based as much on Gates' own comments about the incident as Crowley's police report.
Contra Conor's reader, the Gates case is a terrible example of the kind of police abuse that Radley Balko has brought to light, especially those with a racial angle. What pains me about this is that the next time Radley writes about something genuinely horrific, a lot of people are going to roll their eyes and assume it's just another story about a whining black guy with a chip on his shoulder. Cory Maye deserves better.
* I'm more than willing to consider that Crowley's behavoir was less than exemplary and I confess I'm sketpical as to whether or not Gates should have been arrested.

Argentine ad ties Olympics to Falklands dispute
Thursday - 5/3/2012, 8:40pm EDT
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - The Argentine government has sparked media buzz with a 90-second television ad that ties its dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands to this summer's Olympics in London.
The clip shows Fernando Zylberberg, captain of Argentina's Olympic field hockey team, training in and around Stanley, the capital of the British territory. At one point, Zylberberg kisses the soil while doing push-ups.
The ad calls the islands by their Argentine name, the Malvinas, and carries the tagline: "To compete on British soil, we train on Argentine soil."
Falklands legislator Ian Hansen told the daily Penguin News that the ad was filmed without permission and shows Argentina's disrespect for the islanders, because it doesn't show any of them.
"We determine our own future, and we will not be bullied by the Argentine government, neither by their attempts to undermine our economy, nor by their constant misrepresentation of the truth, nor by pieces of cheap and disrespectful propaganda such as this," Hansen said. "It is hugely disappointing to see sport abused in this way, when it is so often seen as a vehicle for unity. It seems an act of desperation to sink to this."
Zylberberg told Buenos Aires radio stations Thursday that he passed himself off as participant in a March 18 marathon involving both Argentine and British veterans of the two countries' 1982 war over the islands, which sit about 250 miles (460 kilometers) east of the Argentine coast.
The clip ends with the words: "Homage to the fallen and the veterans of the Malvinas. Presidency of the Nation."
"I spent all week running on the island," Zylberberg said. "I crossed it all doing different takes. It's an incredible experience because we were surrounded by veterans."
The Argentine and British governments have spent much of this year verbally sparring over the remote islands, with both sides accusing each other of aggression and arrogance.
