It will be a happy day in 2006 when they report $6.50/shr in Q1, and $7 for the remainder of the year---$13 for 2006 and $12 in 2007 & 2008. I see dividends boys & girls. Big dividends. They also have 100 acres on the Huntington Mesa that will come on line in 2008 where they can build 600+ homes and the land is owned outright. This could add another $20/shr in earnings plus the ongoing homebuilding business. They have to pay dividends or buy another business as they will be floating in cash.

After holding and adding to my BBT stock over the
years, now I see it going nowhere. Ready to put my money
where it can go further faster. It's been a nice ride,
but looks like it's time to switch horse.
Perhaps the reason the cannon shot will hit no
one in those lobbies is that it appears as if those
banks have strategies in place to encourage the retail
customers to bank via personal computer, telephone, etc.,
etc. Say what we wish on this board, but all the banks
you named in your missile seem to be doing well and
are not losing massive numbers of customers or, at
least, are not losing their really profitable customers.
They are too smart to let that happen. I suspect BBT
will use the alternate banking channel strategy to
change the habits of customers in rural VA and WV, and
thus drive down the per customer cost of servicing a
If we told you how many people were using this
one computer, you might think we lived in a college
dormitory, or something like that. Think "4" for starters.
It seems to change daily.
We like your idea
for the ad "We have a banker you can meet. Live"!
Truly creative and revolutionary. I would much preefer
that a live banker call on me......rather than a
"Mountain", of all things. Aren't those tv commercials
obnoxious ?
Where I live you can shoot a cannon thru the
lobby of Nations, Wachovia, First Union, and others and
not hit a customer. BB&T is a class bank as you said.
NetBank (NTBK) probably has the best idea on banking on
the internet. Carolina First (CAFC) gave them their
seed money and start and still owns 10% of the stock.
You can run an Internet Bank out of your garage.
Location, brick, and morter mean nothing any more.
showing my age by saying I like walking into the
solid brick version of a bank. I still like the feel of
actually, not virtually, going to a place that exists in
the old-fashioned way. And there's a bit of Dr.
JunJun in me in that I too enjoy looking at attractive
tellers and bankers who are there, in the flesh.
But I also must admit that I too have been going into
those banks less and less often ... slowly slipping
into the next century where, as you say, brick and
mortar branches may indeed go the way of the oxcart.
Although: have you noticed that horse buggies are making a
comeback of sorts. Perhaps some years from now a bank will
try a nostalgic approach by advertising something
like this: "We have a banker you can meet!
Also, I am curious: are there two of you speaking as
one? Or are you, by your choice of name, signaling
your proud acceptance of your split-personality
I wonder if your message about wanting to go to
"your bank" in Charleston, Savannah, San Francisco, or
wherever is a reflection of a generational gap. Studies
that I've read about seem to say that over 50% of bank
retail customers rarely set foot in a brick and mortar
branch; they don't want to, there is no need to, and it
takes to much time, especially since so many banks (but
not BBT, of course) have reduced their branch office
staffing and the service is lousy and gets worse. Most
younger customers, and many older customers, now use just
ATMs, credit cards, telephones, and personal computers
to do their banking......and there is thus no need
for branches. All studies seem to show that branches
will go the way of the oxcart and crossbow. The banks
themselves will see to that, also, because branch closures
can reduce costs.
while "nobody knows anything" is true for most of
us most of the time, it is not true for everybody
all the time. There are those who do know something
about some things but aren't talking.
The new,
bigger Firstar will, as you say, look to the southeast
for a partner eventually, as will Bank One, Wells
Fargo, and others. To me it seems the logic of retail
banking is to go toward coast-to-coast branches, and I
rather like the thought of being able to go to "my" bank
in Charleston, Savannah, D.C., San Francisco . . .
BBT is a great bank; I'm glad to be both customer and

generally don't (just blowing smoke) and those who have it
are smart enough to know the SEC
Attended the BB&T annnual meeting in D.C. last week and
John affirmed again the strategy to pursue
acquisitions as a line of business in a disciplined manner
that makes sense for s/h. This management group has
made over 40 bank & thrift deals over the last 10
years and the financial performance has earned a
premium valuation (referred to by an earlier poster) of 4
X book.
Also worthy of note is the Firststar
deal which creates a $78 billion bank which could look
to the southeast. Wachovia or BB&T should look
attractive. But I still think John's strategy will continue
to work and BB&T will be an acquirer not a seller on
his watch.
Anyhow, Happy Dividend Day!
several "people in the know" (who have on
occasion been wrong and much surprised by the unexpected)
say BBT is a takeover target that several of the
larger banks would love to acquire. And there have been
many rumors about who is about to do so ... But BBT's
management has repeatedly expressed a desire to remain
independent and to grow by acquistion, as they have indeed
done. As has so often been said (and it's only a slight
exaggeration): nobody knows anything.
It seems like every few weeks I read about BB&T
buying another smaller bank or broker in a stock swap
deal. It seems to me that they would right sized and
positioned for one of the really large banks to target them.
Any insight??
Projected 1999 year end earnings are $1.95 per
share. Stock has traded between 20 to 24 times trailing
earnings (except during last years steep correction) and
thus 24 is possible unless market corrects again. Does
anyone know how bank reform s being considered by
Congress will impact the potential for consolidation of
regional banks?

Typically, I don't read military genre books, unless of course, the review book I am reading at the time has a secondary military theme woven in. I was raised a military brat so I had my share of all the military terminology and happenings, and new what would happen in a strictly military novel...or so I thought. I was a little leery when I started The Cool Woman.....I heard so many mixed reviews about this book. Upon starting this novel, I realized the saying 'to each his own' is true, for I really enjoyed this novel. Now, that's not saying it's my favorite. Far from my favorite,in fact. It's just one that captured me and took me for a ride through Nam and the life of a military pilot. Bill Mann is a character an author can be proud of. He's strong, he's handsome and he's fighting for his country in Vietnam. But, there is something missing in his life, and it's not the wife who's divorcing him. He's lacking a faith in his Father .But, through, am unfortunate circumstance, can he overcome his lack of faith and believe in the Heavenly Father, and gain everything back??? I really enjoyed Pip Mann. She fit the role of the military wife perfectly. She really tugged at my heart and reminded me of stateside life of a military family, always wondering what was happening to her husband, and, she too, had a lack of faith in God. Bill and Pip Mann aren't the only reasons I liked this book. John Aubrey Anderson, being a retired military man himself and having first hand knowledge, used the touchy subject of whites befriending blacks and blacks in the military and war. Through his words, we are able to see the struggle of race issues in the military, and how they are overcome. But, through it all, he showed God working in the hearts of his characters. He showed, through God, that to a full life, no matter the skin color, no matter the war, it must be through a faith in God. A story full of military talk (there's a glossary in the back for the terminology used!), action, and hard lessons(the war we really battle the most is within ourselves if we don't have faith in our hearts), The Cool Woman is a 4 star book that shouldn't be over looked. Definitely take the time to read this true-to-life fiction novel and be prepared to serve in Vietnam along side some pretty awesome characters and learn some lessons along the way.
Bill Mann was an orphan, and he really was not Bill Mann. As a young teenager, he and his momma had been on a trip, when they were stopped and pulled out of their car and beaten by a group of white kids, he had killed the leader of the group, and it turned out his mother was a Congresswoman. Taken in by a family, they all changed their identities to save him, and to keep him safe. Now Bill Mann was grown and in the Air Force, determined to put those demons in his past behind him and to be the best pilot in the Air Force. Meeting and falling in love with a beautiful woman who reminded him of his 'adopted grandmother' distracts Bill, but after marrying Pip, he stays on course. Being sent to Vietnam, totally derails him though and turning to liquor he is not sure he can put the demons in his past behind him. Will Bill drown in the bottle that has him bound up? Will he win the war that rages within him? Will Pip always love him and stay with him? Questions only answered by reading this thrilling book A story of intrigue, a story of war, and a story of redemption. You will not want to miss this book. Scheduled to release July 1, 2010. 352 pages $14.99 US 4 stars. This book was provided for review purposes only.

Surgery to sideline Okla. St. WR Marcell Ateman for start of season
Oklahoma State already knew it was going to be forced to replaced the production lost with the departure of leading pass-catcher David Glidden. Now, at least early on, the Cowboys will have to replace a man who was expected to help replace Glidden's lost production as well.
According to a report from The Oklahoman, Marcell Ateman may not make his debut this coming season until October because of surgery performed on his foot recently. Ateman sustained a non-contact injury during summer workouts.
Should Ateman not return until the second month of the season, he would, at minimum, miss games against SE Louisiana (Sept. 3), Central Michigan (Sept. 10), Pittsburgh (Sept. 17) and at Baylor (Sept. 24). They also have a home date with Texas the first of October.
Ateman's position coach confirmed the procedure to the newspaper, although he didn't give a timeline for a return.
"I don't know [when] that's going to be," said Kasey Dunn. "I'm hoping as soon as possible. He's had a great summer. I don't think it's that big of a deal. I think he'll be back probably sooner than later.
"I'm bummed though, because it's a little bit of a setback for him. His play was going up, up, up. And it all started about Game 6 or 7 last year, where he really started to climb. Played well against Baylor. Played really well against Ole Miss. Had a great offseason. Summer was killer. And then he gets nicked."
At least one report, and at least in these early stages, is a bit more optimistic:
#okstate source just told me Marcell Ateman had foot surgery but might be back for season opener. They won't rush him for that game though.
— Nathan Thompson (@NathanDThompson) July 27, 2016
Ateman's 45 receptions and 766 receiving yards were each third on the team. His five touchdown receptions were good for second.
The good news for the Cowboys is that one of their most productive pass-catchers of a year ago, second-team All-Big performer James Washington (53-1087-10), returns, as do four other receivers who caught at least 17 passes in 2015 — Jalen McCleskey (29-253-3), Austin Hays (22-200-1), Jhajuan Seales (18-321-2) and Blake Jarwin (17-200-2).
Two Power Five teams among handful of FBS schools to express interest in ex-Gator Treon Harris
Less than a week after he left his first college football home, teams are lining up to inquire about being Treon Harris' second. Reportedly.
According to 247Sports.com, at least nine FBS programs have either spoken to Harris' family or "have interest and have requested Harris' release so they have the option to make contact." Two included in the latter group are Power Five teams — Kansas and Minnesota.
Other FBS teams in that second group also include Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, Eastern Michigan and SMU. Georgia State, Southern Miss and Texas State have all reportedly made contact with Harris and his family.
Additionally, a handful of FCS programs have been in contact.
Should Harris move on to another FBS program, he would be forced to sit out the 2016 season, but would then have two years of eligibility remaining beginning in 2017. A move to the FCS would give him immediate eligibility in 2o16.
Monday, Florida confirmed that Harris had decided to transfer out of the Gators football program. There was no specific reason given for the departure, although the announcement came less than a week after Jim McElwain confirmed that Harris would be moved from quarterback to wide receiver.
At his press conference prior to the start of spring practice, McElwain acknowledged that a pair of his players, Harris and wide receiver Antonio Callaway, haven't been a part of the Florida football team since January.
And that's without even mentioning Harris' in-season issue in 2014 that was ultimately resolved a week later.
Harris started the 2015 season opener, but gave way to Will Grier — with a suspension thrown in for good measure — until Grier was himself suspended in October for the remainder of the season. The true sophomore then started the last eight games of the year, with the Gators going 4-4 in that span. Included in that stretch were three losses to close out the year by an average of nearly 25 points per game, with Harris completing under 44 percent of his passes (36-83) and directing the offense to a combined 24 points.
A four-star member of the Gators' 2014 recruiting class, Harris was rated as the No. 18 player at any position in the state of Florida and the No. 123 player overall on 247Sports.com's composite board.
FSU, WVU closing in on agreement to open 2020 season in Atlanta
Jimbo Fisher's native and adopted states could soon be crossing paths on the gridiron, this time in the regular season.
Mike Casazza of the Charleston Gazette-Mail was the first to report that West Virginia and Florida State are in talks for a game that would open the 2020 season, and that the two sides were close to finishing the deal. ESPN.com's Brett McMurphy subsequently confirmed that report.
The game, which would be the latest iteration in the long-running Chick-fil-A Kickoff series, would be played Sept. 5 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
The football programs have met three times previously, with all three coming in the Gator Bowl. As WVU was in the process of moving from the Big East to the Big 12 in February of 2012, it cancelled a 2012-13 home-and-home series with the Seminoles.
The final of what was a trio of FSU wins over WVU came in the last game for Bobby Bowden, the legendary head coach of the Seminoles who coached the Mountaineers for six seasons before leaving for Tallahassee.
Bowden's successor at FSU, Fisher, is a native of Clarksburg, WV.
Justin Timberlake, Larry the Cable Guy stump for Big 12 candidacies of Memphis, UCF
As you no doubt know by now, the Big 12 announced earlier this month that the conference will expand. Wednesday night, a pair of entertainment heavyweights threw their celebrity behind two of the potential candidates.
A handful of teams have been mentioned as possibilities, from Houston to UConn to USF to BYU to Tulane to East Carolina to Cincinnati to Colorado State to Boise State. Additionally, Memphis and UCF have been heavily speculated on for months, and they're the two programs that have seen Memphis native Justin Timberlake and Nebraska fan Larry the Cable Guy, respectively, stumping for them within a couple of hours of each other.
Memphis to the @Big12Conference… let's make this happen! https://t.co/MZyRPTAm8M
— Justin Timberlake (@jtimberlake) July 27, 2016

— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) July 28, 2016
@Jake_Trotter with former Husker Scott Frost at the helm they'll soon be doing great things.
— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) July 28, 2016
It's highly, highly doubtful that the celebrities throwing their support behind their favorites will have any impact whatsoever on the process or the Big 12's ultimate decision. Still, it certainly can't hurt in the court of public opinion.

one time charges. This guidance reflects management's estimates based on the new rules. I expect a one time charge for a campus closing but even at that this goes to $6 at a minimum. There are a zillion short shares out there that are trapped. GL to all and have a nice weekend.
Even if it goes down as someone says the earnings estimates for FY2012 are $0.60 or something it might be time to buy more.We don't know the future. Maybe short term it goes to $7, but long term I think it goes to say $7. Short term it could go to $3 who knows.I'm guessing at least 1 year from now or more.

Coasters are great!
These coasters are really absorbent, and I love the neutral color of them. They are heavy so they don't slide around, but I'm guessing they would chip easily if dropped because they are so heavy.

Research in my lab focuses on cell movements during sexual reproduction and early embryonic development. My current research is on pollination and pollen cell behaviors in flowering plants. After pollen grains are captured by a flower, pollen tubes emerge from the grains, carrying the sperm nuclei to the eggs deep within the female tissue. Studying the interplay between pollen grain structures, pollen tube behaviors and mating success has led us to questions about both biomechanics and evolution.

College: What It Was, Is, and Should Be (New in Paperback)by Andrew Delbanco

As the commercialization of American higher education accelerates, more and more students are coming to college with the narrow aim of obtaining a preprofessional credential. The traditional four-year college experiencean exploratory time for students to discover their passions and test ideas and values with the help of teachers and peersis in danger of becoming a thing of the past.
In College, prominent cultural critic Andrew Delbanco offers a trenchant defense of such an education, and warns that it is becoming a privilege reserved for the relatively rich. In arguing for what a true college education should be, he demonstrates why making it available to as many young people as possible remains central to America's democratic promise.
In a brisk and vivid historical narrative, Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth century in the shadow of the new research universities, and how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors to women, minorities, and students from low-income families. He describes the unique strengths of America's colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing the growing centrality of science, technology, and vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. Acknowledging the serious financial, intellectual, and ethical challenges that all colleges face today, Delbanco considers what is at stake in the urgent effort to protect these venerable institutions for future generations.
In a new preface, Delbanco addresses recent events that threaten the future of the institution.

Ur bck
Mr. Delbanco did a great job with this, but I felt he could have done better. I'd expound on my review a bit, but I doubt people read these anyway.
This new book is a definite must-read for anyone concerned about the state and health of our private and public colleges/universities. The value of a college education is still necessary, as is the growth process afforded students who physically attend these institutions. Written in a no-nonsense fashion, this book is applicable for students approaching college age; parents; higher education professors, instructors, and administrations; and anyone interested in and concerned about college.
This up to date book is hands down the most honest and objective view on college that I've ever read. It's the exact opposite of any Princeton Review that must students and families oddly aw at; Delbanco's approach in this book is simple. Unlike the rankings or reviews of thousands of colleges, he organizes the book, not in lists, but in concepts of the past, present and future of college education. Perfect for families that are looking for a more personalized touch on what their son / daughter is about to get themselves into for the next four years. If you have a question about college, Delbanco skillfully breaks it down to give you answers.

Muskego considers strategy to protect its 'gateway'
Redevelopment district would direct growth along border
Muskego - Motorists leaving Interstate 43 at Racine Avenue get their first impression of Muskego, at what officials call "the gateway" to the city.
In a chess-like move, the city is trying to protect that gateway at the north end of Racine Avenue, even as neighboring New Berlin focuses development attention on the Mill Valley Sand and Gravel site just across the cities' College Avenue border.
If development takes off, on either side of the border, local officials want to be ready to make sure it leaves a good impression of the city, said Jeff Muenkel, community development director.
Redevelopment district strategy
To that end, planners propose creating a redevelopment district mainly on the east side of Racine Avenue from the city limits at College Avenue south past Tans Drive almost to Lembezeder Drive. A tract of mainly vacant land and a few homes on the west side would also be included.
Nearly the entire quarter-mile stretch is zoned for business, with some residential and institutional parts such as near the Mill Valley Elementary School grounds. All of it is envisioned as commercial in the city's 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
Just like the buildings inside the city's three current redevelopment districts, the properties would be declared blighted, but Muenkel emphasized that is just a formality and simply identifies them as candidates for redevelopment.
The designation wouldn't affect property owners except to make them eligible for grants and loans that the city could extend to them, Muenkel added.
Establishing a redevelopment district also would strengthen Muskego's hand in working with New Berlin on its sand and gravel pit redevelopment plans, he said.
Reacting to the proposal
A public hearing on whether to establish a redevelopment district and approve its plan will be held at 6 p.m. June 19 before the Muskego Plan Commission at the City Hall, S8200 Racine Ave.
In his initial reaction to the redevelopment district proposal, Muskego-Norway School District Superintendent Joe Schroeder said that, some time ago, the 2020 Plan Committee had explored including the 5.7 acres that are a small part of the school grounds in the development area.
"But there's nothing concrete or specific," he said. "We've had no communication on sale or use of district property."
The school's land has development potential because of its access to Racine Avenue, the planning documents note. The land is mostly unused by the school district except for parking on a few recreation nights during the summer, they note.
The plan also recommends working with school officials on the future of the property. It suggests the city purchasing it and then asking for development proposals or just marketing the land and making financial aid available for development.
But the key property in terms of determining the viability of rest of the redevelopment district is 15 acres of open land on east side of Racine Avenue south of College.
"This is a large vacant parcel that is the first Muskego parcel when entering the community from the north," the documents note.
The tract contains a stream that is part of the headwaters to Little Muskego Lake, but has ample room for development, they say.
The owner has done considerable grading to prepare it for future development.
As part of the planning for the New Berlin's Mill Valley Sand and Gravel site development, the proposed redevelopment plan makes a number of recommendations, including:
Possibly installing lighting along Racine Avenue with fixtures matching the Mill Valley site development
Possible full boulevard urban cross section roadway installed up to Tans Drive
More street trees and boulevard landscaping
Possible trail installation along Racine Avenue
Even if the redevelopment district doesn't happen, the plan offers beautification ideas:
Trees on boulevard behind new monument sign
Street trees on sides of right-of-way up to Tans Drive
Work with the Mill Valley Sand and Gravel to get their property cleaned up (with better fencing along the Racine Avenue right of way, increased landscaping, or cleanup of the brush)
Work with Park Board on trail implementation along Racine Avenue
Have beautification days each year (using city staff and perhaps volunteers to clean-up area, prune trees, replace mulch, add plantings)
Work with the state to clean up the median areas of the roundabouts in the Interstate 43 interchange
Work with New Berlin in beautifying this gateway to Muskego during their future roadway planning of a redeveloped Mill Valley site
WHAT: Public hearing before the Muskego Community Development Authority on whether to establish the proposed Mill Valley Redevelopment District and the plan that goes with it
WHEN: 6 p.m. June 19
WHERE: Muskego City Hall, S8200 Racine Ave.

Beringer Knights Valley Alluvium Red 2007
Bordeaux Red Blends from Sonoma County, California
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "This blend of all five Bordeaux varieties hails from a smaller, high elevation appelation bridging Sonoma County and Napa Valley. It's jammy and spicy in red fruit, berry and cocoa flavors. Drink now."
Beringer Vineyards
No winery or vineyard more thoroughly embodies the timeless appeal and seductive flavor of Napa Valley than Beringer Vineyards, Napa's benchmark producer since the establishment of the vineyard in 1876.
Now in its third century of crafting classic wines from Napa's finest appellations and vineyards, Beringer today is guided by the inspired partnership of celebrated Winemaster Emeritus Ed Sbragia and Winemaker Laurie Hook. Together, they craft Napa Valley wines that speak eloquently of the rich heritage of the Beringer Vineyard, while offering cutting-edge quality and contemporary elegance. The exquisite wines crafted at the Beringer Vineyards display a single minded dedication and pursuit of excellence instilled by its founder, Jacob Beringer. View all Beringer Vineyards Wines
About Sonoma CountyView a map of Sonoma County wineriesRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Formerly he has been a political member of the Department of Local Government and the Environment and Chairman of the Island's Planning Authority,[2] Until May 2009, he had special responsibility for Housing (DoLGE) and Social Security within the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS), these roles being the Manx equivalent of a junior minister in the UK. After 10 months as Chairman of the Planning Committee, he was appointed to the Department of Economic Development[3] with special responsibility for the Island's financial services sector.
He was re-elected in the 2011 General Election with 3,080 votes, the highest number of votes in the island, and the largest in Rushen since the 1986 boundary changes.

In December 2011 he infamously vomited on a public bus after attending his Department's (Department of Home Affairs (Isle of Man)) Christmas party, shortly after giving a talk about a need for a "responsible attitude" towards drinking over the festive period. This was featured in a January 2012 edition of Private Eye, as a nominee of the "Don't Do What I Do, Do What I Say" Rotten Borough award. He later apologised for his "lapse of judgement" in "getting a little bit drunk".[4]

Randall Gene "Randy" Spelling (born October 9, 1978) is an American heir, actor and life coach. He is the brother of Tori Spelling and the son of Candy and Aaron Spelling....
Connect any celebrity with Randy Spelling to see how closely they are linked... romantically!
maybe hattie margaret mcdermott, and sage aurelia spelling are cousins, so they should definitely be best friends, and schoolmates, they were both born between june 9,2011 and october 10, 2011.
He just had a baby girl name sage auriella spelling. Heard Candy and Tori did not show. To busy trying to get attention for shows. Poor randy
i love him. great guy. really positive. he's a life coach now. he's married.
Paris and Randy never went out...There's no proof and or pictures.
hi````I loue you hahah
I just think it is strange that his sister writes this big tell all book and there is hardly a word written about Randy. It seems strange to me. I think there is more to this story than we all know.
Isn`t that Jenny McCarthy instead of Kam Heskin??
he "deflowered" paris hilton
Lucky girls, Randy is very hot and such a sweetheart.
The origin of the name RANDY is in English, and the meaning of the name is: Wolf counselor.

(June 14, 2012) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio was ranked No. 53 among 100 universities under 50 years old by Times Higher Education (THE). The school rankings, published in the May 31 edition of the London-based magazine, were based on the performance indicators of research, citations, teaching, international outlook and industry income.
THE publishes annually the World University Rankings, but this is the first year it has published the 100 Under 50 report focusing solely on young institutions.
"It is clear that the vast majority of the world's best research-led universities share a core element in common: they are old," said Phil Baty, editor of THE Rankings. "This report is not about the traditional elites; it is about a new breed of global universities -- those that have managed to join the world's top table in just decades, not centuries, and others showing great promise, institutions that could reach the top, given time."
Under the area of research, the three indicators used to establish rankings were the university's research volume, income and prestige. The performance indicator of citations examines an institution's research influence by capturing the numbers of times its published works were cited by scholars around the world. The teaching category's indicators were based on the Thomson Reuters Academic Reputations Survey, faculty-to-student ratio, ratio of Ph.D. to bachelor's degrees awarded by each institution and institutional income scaled against academic staff members.
The international outlook category looked at both diversity on campus and how each university's faculty collaborated with international colleagues on research projects. A university's ability to reinforce industry with innovations, inventions and consultancy was the final performance indicator in determining the rankings.
Other U.S. universities to make the top 100 list were the University of California at Irvine; University of California at Santa Cruz; University of Illinois at Chicago; University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey; University of Texas at Dallas; George Mason University; University of Maryland, Baltimore County; and Florida International University.
"We are honored UTSA is one of only nine schools in the United States to be recognized as a top young university," said John Frederick, UTSA provost and vice president for academic affairs. "I think it goes to show that with a little ingenuity and creativity, emerging universities can achieve in a relatively short time the quality that much older institutions develop over generations."
The University of Texas at San Antonio is one of the largest of nine academic universities and sixth health institutions in the UT System. As a multicultural institution of access and excellence, UTSA aims to be a national research university providing access to educational excellence and preparing citizen leaders for the global environment.
UTSA serves nearly 31,000 students in more than 135 degree programs in the colleges of Architecture, Business, Education, and Human Development, Engineering, Honors, Liberal and Fine Arts, Public Policy, Sciences and Graduate School. Founded in 1969, UTSA is an intellectual and creative resource center and a socioeconomic development catalyst for Texas and beyond.
The UTSA Interactive Technology Experience Center camps are for curious youth who are interested in STEM and related topics. This week, campers will study environmental science, robotics and computer science.
UTSA Main Campus
In four sessions of this weeklong day camp for 9 to 13-year-olds, campers will participate in indoor and outdoor activities while exploring ancient technologies from around the world and the new technologies archaeologists are using to discover them.

Frenemies in Platform Markets: The Case of Apple's iPad vs. Amazon's Kindle
Frenemies are friends who are sometimes enemies. Among e-readers, Apple's iPad and Amazon's Kindle are frenemies in platform markets because they compete aggressively against each other yet cooperate to a certain extent. The model in this paper explains the incentives for two platforms to become frenemies when the difference in their foci for profits is sufficiently large. That competing platforms with different profit foci may have incentives to cooperate also applies in other settings such as the tablet market or e-commerce. Closed for comment; 0 Comment(s) posted.

Looking at specific rulings in the US, France, and Germany, this paper examines the economic effect of major but largely unanticipated changes in the allocation of copyright protection on venture capital (VC) investment in cloud computing companies. Findings suggest that decisions around the allocation of copyright ownership can have significant impacts on investment in innovative enterprises. Indeed strong upstream property rights, combined with transaction costs that limited the ability to enter into licenses, can significantly deter investment in downstream innovations.

Who are the hornets?
The Homeschool Hornets is a non-profit, volunteer, parent-run, single sport club fielding a coed middle school soccer team and a coed high school soccer team. Our players come from homeschooling families throughout western Pennsylvania. For over 10 years we have competed against public, private and Christian schools, as well as soccer clubs, with a few undefeated seasons in recent years. We welcome boys and girls, grades 5 through 12, who are at least 10 years of age by September 1. While we purposefully and primarily are a team of homeschooled student/athletes who meet the necessary requirements, we do encourage inquiries from students who attend private schools that do not offer soccer. We also would love to hear from coaches or athletic directors who would be interested in scheduling games with the Homeschool Hornets. For more information or to have your name added to our contact list, please visit our Contact Us page and fill out the contact form there.
2016 SPRING tRAINING**
Hornets 2016 spring training is from 1:00-3:00pm every Wednesday for five weeks. May 18th to June 15th. All returning Hornets as well as other homeschoolers from grades 5th-12th are welcome. $10 per player covers cost of insurance and field rental. *Registration form below. Additionally info (directions to home field, what to bring, etc) can be found here.
2016 fall season*
Information to come.
See the news about Hornets Spirit Night at the Washington Chick-fil-A, on Thursday, August 6, 2015, 5-7 p.m., located at the News and Announcements page!
head injury awareness
A growing awareness among coaches and athletes for the risks of head injuries has led a number of athletic associations to require athletes to receive baseline testing and head injury awareness education prior to participation in practices or games. While we do urge our players to take advantage of the many free or discounted baseline testing programs available throughout western PA, we do not make testing a prerequisite to playing. Free or low-fee testing is available via UPMC Sports Medicine Heads Up program, underwritten by the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation; information regarding the testing dates and locations is posted at the News and Announements page. We do encourage parents (and athletes if possible) to attend an education session or watch a video on head injuries/concussions at the UPMC sports medicine website.
