UIC On Strike
The University of Illinois-Chicago faculty have gone on strike in protest of the corporatization of the university that threatens what faculty do–our ability to teach and research, the stability of our jobs, and the defense of the values of the liberal arts education. Like other universities, UIC has moved resources from faculty to administration, gone to the well of adjunct labor to cover much teaching, and underpaid faculty members in an expensive city.
Hundreds of teachers, students and other supporters picketed the University of Illinois' at Chicago campus Tuesday as part of a two-day strike called by UIC United Faculty, the union representing more than 1,100 tenured and nontenured faculty members.
The walkout, which featured teachers and their supporters picketing and distributing flyers in front of campus buildings for much of the day, is the first to take place at the university. Despite more than 60 bargaining sessions over 18 months—which were joined by a federal mediator in November—the administration and UICUF has not been able to come to an agreement.
"State universities have been turned into businesses, business corporations with a focus only on the bottom line," said UICUF's President Joe Persky. "This must change. A university must devote its resources to guaranteeing our student body a first class education every bit as good as Champaign-Urbana."
Faculty at UIC are striking to demand an increase in wages for both tenured and nontenured professors, as well as multi-year contracts and "control of governance and curriculum."
Control over governance and curriculum is an important issue. Faculty have traditionally had a significant say in how the university operates and the core values of the curriculum. That is disappearing rapidly as universities move to the same top-down corporate model that brought you the outsourcing of American jobs overseas, the Great Recession, and the creation of the New Gilded Age. Stands like the faculty at UIC are taking are necessary in order to defend the values that made American higher education the best in the world.
Also, using Hull House as the strike headquarters should warm the heart of any historian.

AbstractParagon Space Development Corporation proposes to develop a single-loop, non-toxic, active pumped radiator design with robust, reliable operation near stagnation regimes as expected to be experienced by NASA's Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), the Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM) and thermal control systems of the Lunar Base at the lunar pole. This will be achieved through an innovative use of a common terrestrial-application, safe fluid that has lower temperature stalling characteristics over typical space-based radiator fluids. Phase 1 has already shown this fluid to stall per predictions and, through a previous contract, Paragon has demonstrated its capability to perform spacecraft heat rejection. The significance of this work is to understand stagnation behavior, both planned and mitigated, and then design and demonstrate a robust and reliable radiator performance based on this knew found knowledge.

IN THE SPIRITUAL realm, they call it karma. In the celebrity realm, they call it payback.
PageSix.com reports that Jennifer O'Neill, Lady Gaga's ex-flunky, may have scored as much as a million bucks from Simon & Schuster's Atria Books to spill the beans about her former meal ticket.
Fame Monster is the name of the literary landmark being conjured by O'Neill, who toiled in Gaga Land for two years, beginning with 2009's "Born This Way" tour. O'Neill ultimately took the pop singer-freak show to court, claiming that she was owed $393,000 for 7,168 hours of overtime, plus damages.

Is there shortcode for the Skyscraper version?
Or, any other method to use the Skyscraper version on an archive page so that it appears with EACH post excerpt?
I've tested the shortcode for the regular version and that's working just fine for my needs, but the sckyscraper version would be even better.

The Most Dangerous Game
by Richard Connell
Sanger Rainsford Timeline and Summary
- Fights in World War I, where he digs trenches. Good times…
- Rainsford is merrily sailing to Rio to kill himself some Amazonian jaguars, when he falls overboard while trying to save his pipe.
- Dude, just let it go; it'll kill you anyway.
- He swims off to "Ship Trap" island, where he meets Zaroff, a sinister hunter who has strange ideas of a good time.
- Rainsford does some fine dining with Zaroff, but then finds out he is about to be prey to this aristocratic whack job.
- Through quick thinking, instinct, and the experience he gained during his comparatively rosy time digging trenches in World War I, he manages to elude Zaroff.
- Rainsford gets back to the castle for a quick goodbye in the form of murder and then climbs into Zaroff's bed for a good night's sleep.

In recent years medical men's attention has been called to a syndrome that might aptly be called Hamman's syndrome, since he was the first to describe it.1 He reported his observations in 1937 and more fully in 1939.2 His cases had been seen over a period of five years. Scott3 later in 1937 reported 2 cases with similar signs and sypmptoms. Since that time others have added to this series—Faulkner and Wagner4 as well as Morey and Sosman.5 Because of the importance of the subject I wish to add another case to those already published.
Hamman's explanation for the cause of this condition is that, owing to some weakness in an alveolar wall, it ruptures and the released air dissects its way through the fibrous tissue about the blood vessels into the hilus of the lung and thence into the mediastinal tissue. If the amount

OAKLAND, Calif. (January 31, 2014) A 14-year-old California boy has been charged with murder in the shooting death of his older sister, the boy's attorney said.
The shooting stemmed from a dispute over laundry, authorities said.
The teen's attorney, Adante Pointer, said the charge includes a gun enhancement and said his client also faces three counts of felony gun possession.
Alameda County prosecutors have decided to charge the boy as a juvenile and not as an adult, police said.
He's scheduled to appear in court Monday.
Authorities say the boy shot his 17-year-old sister on Jan. 23 inside an apartment building in Oakland's Chinatown neighborhood.
The siblings were each parents of young children.
The boy surrendered to police Wednesday.

Skilled cooperative action means being able to understand the communicative situation and know how and when to respond appropriately for the purpose at hand. This skill is of the performance of knowledge in co-action and is a form of social intelligence for sustainable interaction. Social intelligence, here, denotes the ability of actors and agents to manage their relationships with each other. Within an environment we have people, tools, artefacts and technologies that we engage with. Let us consider all of these as dynamic representations of knowledge. When this knowledge becomes enacted, i.e., when we understand how to use it to communicate effectively, such that it becomes invisible to us, it becomes knowledge in co-action. A challenge of social intelligence design is to create mediating interfaces that can become invisible to us, i.e., as an extension of ourselves. In this paper, we present a study of the way people use surfaces that afford graphical interaction, in collaborative design tasks, in order to inform the design of intelligent user interfaces. This is a descriptive study rather than a usability study, to explore how size, orientation and horizontal and vertical positioning, influences the functionality of the surface in a collaborative setting.

Breathtaking eroticism with hot Euro babes.
Cover girl Kenzie Ryan is suffering from such ennui that her stroll across a Prague (we're guessing) bridge is shot in black-and-white. But when she puts money into the hat of a midget beggar, everything becomes more colorful - and sexy! For one thing, she gets laid on an art deco bench in a hallway; watches Nikki Blond get plowed anally in two positions in a deserted factory; watches a couple of brunettes lick and dildo each other; and finally gets into some girl/girl action herself on a bed among the ruins before Mario Rossi enters and pleasures her in several positions - all scorchingly hot and captured with pre-nom level videography under inimitable Ninn direction and editing.

Verlander recorded the most strikeouts in a shutout of a winner-take-all postseason game, topping Sandy Koufax's 10 in the 1965 World Series against Minnesota.
"When you're going into pressure situations like this, there's nobody better to have on the mound than Justin," Jackson said.
Verlander followed up an 11-strikeout outing in Detroit's 3-1 Game 1 win Saturday with another overpowering performance in his 10th postseason start. He improved to 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA in three postseason starts against the A's and upped his career mark to 5-4 with 2.15 ERA in 10 starts at the Coliseum.
Verlander had allowed one earned run with a 0.69 ERA in beating the A's twice during the regular season.
"He's always tough. You go out there and you battle him the best that you can," Crisp said. "Today he had some of his best stuff of the year."
Detroit finally got to party in a visiting clubhouse that for the sixth straight game was prepped for a possible clinch celebration.
The Texas Rangers were in town last week needing one victory to win the AL West but dropped all three to lose the division to the surprising A's in game No. 162.
On Wednesday night, plastic covering the floor and lockers was torn down in all of about 40 seconds after Valverde allowed three runs in the bottom of the ninth as Oakland won with another walkoff in a season full of them.
This time, the Tigers let loose.
Players quickly ran to a table to grab another celebratory bottle when Verlander entered the clubhouse, drenching him in all directions and chanting "Cy Young! Cy Young!"
"It was awesome and horrible at the same time because you can't see a thing," he said. "Your eyes are burning and all I want to do is look up and celebrate with my teammates. And all I can do is look down and shut my eyes."
After Seth Smith grounded out to end the game, the A's stayed on the field to greet the fans who were still on their feet chanting "Let's Go Oakland!" Verlander waved toward the Oakland players in a classy acknowledgment, and Leyland walked over to wish A's manager Bob Melvin well.
Detroit's offense did more than enough to give Verlander a cushion on another relatively quiet night by Cabrera and Fielder, the team's $214 million cleanup hitter who signed as a free agent from Milwaukee in the winter.
Cabrera went five straight games without an RBI on four different occasions during the regular season, but didn't extend that to the playoffs when Ryan Cook plunked him with the bases loaded in the seventh.
The upstart A's were attempting to become the ninth team to rally from a 2-0 deficit in a best-of-five series, but couldn't match the cross-bay Giants after San Francisco won at Cincinnati earlier in the day to reach the NL championship series.
So much for all that chatter about another Bay Bridge World Series in Northern California like the earthquake-interrupted Series in 1989 swept by the A's.
Oakland struck out 50 times in a series of swings and misses after riding high only a week ago, stunning the two-time reigning AL champion Rangers on the regular season's final day to win the AL West. The strikeouts were the most in A's franchise history for a five-game series.
The A's payroll of $59.5 million is lowest in the majors. But the last game was the only lopsided one.
Detroit eliminated Oakland again after the Tigers pulled off a four-game sweep in the 2006 AL championship series.
"We didn't think it was going to end today, not for a second," Melvin said. "We knew we were going up against a good pitcher. That didn't mean we didn't think we were going to win. We've gone up against good pitchers this year. And it's a bit of a shock when it finally does end. It was a heck of a story. It was a heck of a run for us."
The Tigers now look to get through another round after falling in six games to the Rangers in last year's ALCS.
NOTES: Josh Reddick, who hit a team-leading 32 homers, struck out 10 times for the most by an A's player in a postseason series. The only person with more Ks than Reddick in a division series was Seattle's Bret Boone with 11 in 2001. ... The A's have lost eight of their last nine postseason series. ... Cabrera has reached base safely in all 16 of his postseason games with the Tigers. ... Verlander is Detroit's career postseason leader in strikeouts (70) and wins (5).

I'm curious as to how many of you have read, heard or responded to the "this young team needs to settle down" message from Singletary as the reason for our inability to get things going on offense and close the deal on defense. The 49ers are in a 3-game hole and unless the Cardinals make a monumental failure, we're going to be out of the playoffs.
Is the team that young an inexperienced? How does this compare to other young teams in the league starting young players?
Please respond to the poll and your comments are welcomed also.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Athens-Clarke County police say a veteran
firefighter resigned after he came under investigation for his conduct during a brawl in a club.
Police say an officer's report shows 55-year-old James Douglas
Whitehead pulled a gun during a scuffle at the downtown Athens club
last week.
Police say the other man, a 57-year-old Watkinsville resident, got Whitehead to drop the gun by twisting it from his hand and punching him in the head.
Police say Whitehead was knocked out and was taken to Athens
Regional Medical Center for treatment of cuts to his face and a
severe cut on a finger.
Athens-Clarke police Capt. Clarence Holeman says Whitehead's
lawyer has told authorities that Whitehead will contact police about the matter.
County officials say Whitehead resigned two days after the brawl.

La Raza Endorses Gay Marriage, Joining the NAACP, President Obama, a Majority of Americans, and Even Prop 8 Defenders!
Happy Pride weekend. Here's some more good news on the marriage beat to share with you this beautiful weekend here in New York.
La Raza, the nation's largest Latino civil rights organization, unanimously approved a resolution supporting same-sex marriage equality, the Washington Blade reported exclusively yesterday.
It's getting hard to keep up with all the developments on marriage, in the courts of the federal judiciary and public opinion. Since President Obama came out in support of marriage equality (and naysayers said it would sink him with black and Hispanic voters), the largest black and Hispanic civil rights groups have also come out in support. At the same time, multiple cultural leaders, politicians, and an increasing majority of Americans of all colors have joined in. Since the announcement, every federal court case, ruled on by federal judges appointed by presidents of both parties, has found in favor of marriage equality.
Even ardent Prop 8 defendant David Blankenhorn, who was an expert witness in the court court case trying to uphold the law, came out yesterday in favor of gay marriage.

Who is left to defend denying gays the right to marry?
With their star witness Blankenhorn and their one-time social media director Louis Marinelli abandoning ship, it's going to get awfully lonely for Maggie Gallahger and Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage.
In fact, the fight against same-sex marriage is starting to mirror Obama's election campaign theme, which Politico described like so on Tuesday (emphasis added):
"President Obama's campaign wants to turn Mitt Romney into the candidate of old, straight, white men. Of course, his aides would never state it so crudely. But that's the unmistakable aim of their political strategy of the past two months. The Obama campaign spent weeks playing up the contraception fight and pushing legislation to guarantee women equal pay for equal work ... Obama got pushed into backing gay marriage more quickly than he wanted - but once he did, the campaign milked it for days to try to make Romney look like a throwback. The drumbeat on more affordable student loans has been constant. And now, the president is trying to drive a wedge between Romney and Hispanic voters with a sustained push to soften U.S. deportation policy. ..."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Electrolyte Panel
Topic Overview
An electrolyte panel is a blood test that measures the levels of electrolytes and carbon dioxide in your blood.
Electrolytes are minerals, such as sodium and potassium, that are found in the body. They keep your body's fluids in balance and help keep your body working normally, including your heart rhythm, muscle contraction, and brain function.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is also measured in this test. CO2 is a waste product made when the body breaks down food for energy (metabolism). It takes the form of bicarbonate in the blood, so this part of the test is sometimes called a bicarbonate test. Bicarbonate helps your blood stay at the right pH.
Your doctor may order an electrolyte panel as part of a regular health examination. Your doctor may use this test to check on or diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor can also use an electrolyte panel to see if any medicines that you take have changed your electrolyte levels.
An electrolyte panel measures the blood levels of carbon dioxide, chloride, potassium, and sodium.

Frank Sinatra Celebrity Invitational to Honor College Trustee Martin Mucci '81
Martin Mucci '81, President and Chief Executive Officer of Paychex, Inc., will be honored at the Frank Sinatra Starkey Technologies Celebrity Invitational Black Tie Gala on February 23. He will be recognized for his business and civic leadership and his generous support of the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center. Mucci is a member of the College's Board of Trustees.
"It is a wonderful honor to receive this recognition, and I am very pleased to accept it on behalf of Paychex and our employees," said Mucci. "At Paychex, we have a proud tradition of caring for others in the communities where we work, live, and serve our clients. Mrs. Sinatra and the staff of the Sinatra Children's Center demonstrate exceptional commitment to those they serve, and I am proud to support their important work."
A native of Elmira, Mucci holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Fisher and an MBA from the University of Rochester. He received the College's Excellence in Management Award in 1999 in recognition of his professional accomplishments in business and service to his community.
Mucci is a member of the Upstate New York Regional Advisory Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and is on the Board of Directors of Cbeyond, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBEY), a leading IP-based, managed services provider of communications packages and IT services to small businesses. He is past chairman of the College's Board of Trustees, the Rochester Business Alliance Board of Directors, and the Rochester Walk to Cure Diabetes to benefit juvenile diabetes research. Additionally, he is a past member of the United Way of Greater Rochester Board of Directors.
In 2011, Mucci and his wife, Darcy, received the Catholic Family Center's CFC Award, an honor recognizing their dedication to the health and well-being of the greater Rochester community. In 2012, they served as honorary chairs of the Daystar Derby, a fundraiser benefitting Daystar for Medically Fragile Infants, Inc., a provider of medical daycare services for children ages birth to five. That same year, Mucci was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Sons of Italy Vincent Lombardi Lodge #2270. The award recognizes Italian-Americans who have made significant contributions to their profession and community.

Dalton is a lot like Tebow in personality and his winning pedigree. He just doesn't have the freakish athleticism, but he also doesn't have huge mechanical issues to rebuild like Tebow did.
He's arguably the closest to being NFL ready. Squeaky clean character, durable, fundamentally sound, a winner, not "amazing" athleticism but good athleticism.
Some might say he's even better than Ponder who from time to time had some inconsistencies getting the ball out on time (when he was healthy) and has that injury history. I rate him above Ponder, personally.

State Supreme Court hears appeal in Carlie Brucia case
Published: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 11:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at 2:32 p.m.
TALLAHASSEE - Attorneys for the man sentenced to death for the abduction, rape and murder of 11-year-old Carlie Brucia argued today that he should receive a new trial because of mishandled DNA evidence.
The challenge of Joseph P. Smiths conviction is the first part of a mandatory appeal for all defendants sentenced to the death penalty. He was sentenced to death in 2005 by a Sarasota County judge.
Smith, 42, an unemployed auto mechanic and convicted drug abuser, was high on cocaine when a surveillance camera captured him in the act of abducting Carlie behind a car wash on Bee Ridge Road on Feb. 1, 2004.
The videotape, and the discovery of Carlies body several days later, captivated the nation and outraged the community.
DNA lab results connected Smith to a semen stain found on the 11-year-olds red shirt. That evidence is the crux of his appeal.
During Smiths trial in 2005, defense attorney Adam Tebrugge, questioned why two local evidence technicians did not find the DNA on the shirt, a key piece of evidence, before it went to the FBI crime lab and was found by technicians there.
Tebrugge then objected seven times and called four bench conferences during an FBI agents testimony because she did not test the shirt at the FBI lab, only reviewed the results.
Circuit Judge Andrew Owens allowed the FBI agent to testify. Attorneys said there is a chance appeals judges could have construed that as hearsay evidence, which is not allowed.
During the trial, prosecutors said DNA evidence from the FBI lab has been introduced in the same manner in numerous other cases. They likened it to a doctor reading lab reports and blood samples taken by medical technicians.
In general, anything that was contested by the defense during the trial is going to be the basis for an appeal.
Tebrugge attacked all the major evidence that painted an overwhelming picture of guilt: the DNA, a surveillance video of the abduction and recorded jailhouse admissions by Smith, plus a letter to his brother about the crime in a code the Smiths used as boys.
The appeal points out twelve other areas where the trial may have been unconstitutional or the trial judge erred, including allowing the jury to see crime scene photos and allowing Smiths brother to testify.
Tips generated by the videotape led to Smiths arrest, and he later told his brother where to find Carlies body, behind a church on Proctor Road, detectives say.

The description indicated that you could link "wordpress cms" to a URL like http://somesite.com/wordpress-cms-post
However, it doesn't appear that the plugin supports multiple keywords.
For example, if the keyword is:
wordpress cms
the linking will not happen.
If the keyword is:
the linking will happen.
Doesn't appear you can put quotes around multiple words as they get addslashes too many times.
Is there a way to indicate 2 or more words as a keyword?

Martha Stewart's Upside-Down Lemon Meringue Pie
Lemon meringue pie made with lemon curd and topped with meringue has always been one of Martha's favorites — that is until she tasted a version that had her looking at traditional lemon meringue from a new angle: upside down!
Unsalted butter, softened, for pie plate
4 large egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
8 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 lemon, for serving
1. Crust: Preheat oven to 300 degrees with rack in center. Lightly brush a 9-inch pie plate with butter. Whisk together egg whites and 1 tablespoon cold water with a mixer on high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Add cream of tartar and continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugar and beat until thick, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes.
2. Transfer egg-white mixture to prepared pie plate; spread along bottom and up sides to form crust. (Don't spread past rim of pan.) Bake meringue until crisp and light golden on outside, about 40 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool in oven 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
3. Filling: Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks in a medium saucepan (off heat) until thickened and pale yellow, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in sugar and lemon zest and juice. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is very thick, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface of curd. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
4. Whisk curd until smooth. Whip cream with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 30 seconds. Working in batches, gently fold whipped cream into curd. Fill meringue crust with lightened curd; smooth top. Refrigerate, loosely covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
5. Topping: Whip cream and sugar with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 40 seconds. Spread over pie. Finely grate lemon zest over top. Slice with a chef's knife, wiping blade between cuts, and serve.

• our ability to effectively develop and launch new, innovative and updated products;

• our ability to effectively market and maintain a positive brand image;
• the availability, integration and effective operation of management information systems and other technology; and
• our ability to attract and retain the services of our senior management and key employees.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q reflect our views and assumptions only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
We are a leading developer, marketer and distributor of branded performance apparel, footwear and accessories. The brand's moisture-wicking fabrications are engineered in many different designs and styles for wear in nearly every climate to provide a performance alternative to traditional products. Our products are sold worldwide and worn by athletes at all levels, from youth to professional, on playing fields around the globe, as well as by consumers with active lifestyles.
We are a growth company as evidenced by the increase in net revenues to $1,472.7 million in 2011 from $606.6 million in 2007. We reported net revenues of $1,329.1 million for the first nine months of 2012, which represented a 24.3% increase from the first nine months of 2011. We believe that our growth in net revenues has been driven by a growing interest in performance products and the strength of the Under Armour brand in the marketplace. We plan to continue to increase our net revenues over the long term by increased sales of our apparel, footwear and accessories, expansion of our wholesale
distribution sales channel, growth in our direct to consumer sales channel and
expansion in international markets. Our direct to consumer sales channel
includes our factory house and specialty stores, website and catalog. New
offerings for 2012 include the Armour Bra, coldblack® technology, Under Armour
scent control technology and UA Spine footwear.
A large majority of our products are sold in North America; however, we believe our products appeal to athletes and consumers with active lifestyles around the globe. Outside of North America, our products are offered primarily in Austria, France, Germany, Ireland and the United Kingdom, as well as in Japan through a licensee, and through distributors located in other foreign countries. We hold a minority investment in our licensee in Japan.
Our operating segments are geographic and include North America; Latin America; Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"); and Asia. Due to the insignificance of the EMEA, Latin America and Asia operating segments, they have been combined into other foreign countries for disclosure purposes.
Segment operating income consists of the revenues generated by that segment, less the cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative costs that are incurred directly by that segment, as well as an allocation of certain centrally managed costs, such as our distribution facility costs. Corporate costs, which are included in our North America operating segment, include costs related to company-wide administrative costs and debt service costs. These administrative costs include corporate office support, costs relating to accounting, human resources, legal, information technology, as well as costs related to overall corporate management.
Net revenues comprise both net sales and license revenues. Net sales comprise sales from our primary product categories, which are apparel, footwear and accessories. Our license revenues consist of fees paid to us by our licensees in exchange for the use of our trademarks on products such as socks, team uniforms, baby and kids' apparel, eyewear, custom-molded mouth guards, as well as the distribution of our products in Japan.
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs, inbound freight and duty costs, outbound freight costs, handling costs to make products floor-ready to customer specifications, royalty payments to endorsers based on a predetermined percentage of sales of selected products and write downs for inventory obsolescence. The fabrics in many of our products are made primarily of petroleum-based synthetic materials. Therefore our product costs, as well as our inbound and outbound freight costs, could be affected by long term pricing trends of oil. In general, as a percentage of net revenues, we expect cost of goods sold associated with our apparel and accessories to be lower than that of our footwear. No cost of goods sold is associated with license revenues. We include outbound freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers as cost of goods sold; however, we include the majority of outbound handling costs as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. As a result, our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies that include outbound handling costs in their cost of goods sold. Outbound handling costs include costs associated with preparing goods to ship to customers and certain costs to operate our distribution facilities. These costs, included within selling, general and administrative expenses, were $9.4 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $24.0 million and $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist of costs related to marketing, selling, product innovation and supply chain and corporate services. Personnel costs are included in these categories based on the employees' function. Personnel costs include salaries, benefits, incentives and stock-based compensation related to the employee. Our marketing costs are an important driver of our growth. Marketing costs consist primarily of commercials, print ads, league, team, player and event sponsorships and depreciation expense specific to our in-store fixture program. In addition, marketing costs include costs associated with our Special Make-Up Shop located at one of our distribution facilities where we manufacture a limited number of products primarily for our league, team, player and event sponsorships. Selling costs consist primarily of costs relating to sales through our wholesale channel, commissions paid to third parties and the majority of our direct to consumer sales channel costs, including the cost of factory house and specialty store leases. Product innovation and supply chain costs include our apparel, footwear and accessories product innovation, sourcing and development costs, distribution facility operating costs, and costs relating to our Hong Kong and Guangzhou, China offices which help support product development, manufacturing, quality assurance and sourcing efforts. Corporate services primarily consist of corporate facility operating costs and company-wide administrative expenses. Other income (expense), net consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses on our derivative financial instruments and unrealized and realized gains and losses on adjustments that arise from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions generated by our international subsidiaries.
Results of Operations The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the periods indicated, both in dollars and as a percentage of net revenues: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (In thousands) 2012 2011 2012 2011 Net revenues $ 575,196 $ 465,523 $ 1,329,058 $ 1,069,558 Cost of goods sold 294,805 240,422 703,996 564,627 Gross profit 280,391 225,101 625,062 504,931 Selling, general and administrative expenses 189,411 150,136 497,959 397,466 Income from operations 90,980 74,965 127,103 107,465 Interest expense, net (1,303 ) (1,552 ) (3,978 ) (2,428 ) Other income (expense), net (31 ) (1,193 ) 561 (2,065 ) Income before income taxes 89,646 72,220 123,686 102,972 Provision for income taxes 32,329 26,233 45,040 38,605 Net income $ 57,317 $ 45,987 $ 78,646 $ 64,367 Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, (As a percentage of net revenues) 2012 2011 2012 2011 Net revenues 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Cost of goods sold 51.3 % 51.6 % 53.0 % 52.8 % Gross profit 48.7 % 48.4 % 47.0 % 47.2 % Selling, general and administrative expenses 32.9 % 32.3 % 37.4 % 37.2 % Income from operations 15.8 % 16.1 % 9.6 % 10.0 % Interest expense, net (0.2 )% (0.3 )% (0.3 )% (0.2 )% Other income (expense), net - % (0.3 )% - % (0.2 )% Income before income taxes 15.6 % 15.5 % 9.3 % 9.6 % Provision for income taxes 5.6 % 5.6 % 3.4 % 3.6 % Net income 10.0 % 9.9 % 5.9 % 6.0 %

News Corp.'s publishing spinoff will replace Apollo Group Inc. in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index after the media company splits itself later this month, S&P said in a statement Thursday.
News Corp. will become two publicly traded companies -- a move that followed shareholder pressure to separate the faster-growing TV and movie assets from the publishing business. The entertainment operation will be called 21st Century Fox, while the publishing business will take the News Corp. name.
The spinoff will be added to the S&P 500 on June 28, as the transaction is expected to be completed on or about that date, S&P said. The renamed 21st Century Fox will remain in the S&P 100 and 500 indexes.
Apollo Group, the largest for-profit college chain, will take Forest Oil Corp.'s spot in the S&P MidCap 400 Index, while Forest Oil will replace Enzo Biochem Inc. in the SmallCap 600 Index. The changes will take place after the close of trading on June 28, the statement said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Irish Nationwide Subordinated Bondholders Go to Court
Irish Nationwide Building Society, the nationalized property lender, said two subordinated bondholders started proceedings in the English courts against the bank and the trustee of the debt program.
Two holders of Irish Nationwide's 13 percent lower Tier 2 bonds due 2016 are asking the court to direct the trustee to open proceedings against the lender under the terms of the notes, Irish Nationwide said in a statement today. No event of default or potential event of default has occurred and the terms are being honored, Irish Nationwide said in the statement.
"The Society considers the claimants have no cause of action and intends to vigorously defend the proceedings," Irish Nationwide said.
The government is seeking to limit the cost of a banking bailout which may reach more than 50 billion euros ($70 billion). The investors are going to court after Irish Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said in September that subordinated bondholders in Irish Nationwide would be treated the same as those in nationalized Anglo Irish Bank Corp., who are being offered 20 cents on the euro for their notes.
Irish Nationwide's 2016 bonds are quoted at about 30 cents on the euro, according to prices from Jefferies International Ltd. in London.
Irish Nationwide, which already received 2.7 billion euros in state aid, needs that amount again, Lenihan said in September.

Discover the rugged landscapes, wildlife, and Aboriginal and pastoral histories of the East MacDonnell Ranges at Trephina Gorge Nature Park. Located 85km east of Alice Springs, the park is a handy distance for a day or a longer trip, and is notable for its short walks, views, and natural beauty.
Trephina Gorge has wide views and a sandy creek bed and can be explored via a network of short walking tracks. It is one of two gorges that intersect the East MacDonnell Ranges. The other is John Hayes Rock Hole. The two are connected via the Trephina Ridge Top Walk.
As well as a good place for a cool dip, waterholes in this area attract abundant animals and birds.
The largest Ghost Gum in Central Australia is set in the park, alone on a saltbush flat. The area is significant to the Eastern Arrernte Aboriginal people and contains sites that are part of the Wallaby dreaming trail. Once a part of the Garden Station, the park has strong historic links with the early settlement of Central Australia.

The Amazing Spider-Man Swings In With a Short Teaser Video
Written Thursday, December 08, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Activision officially announced The Amazing Spider-Man yesterday, confirming that the movie tie-in will be returning to the free-roaming open-world stylee that made Spider-Man 2 one of the better movie-related games to be released, despite its repetitive missions.
Webhead will be back where he belongs too, web-slinging through the streets of New York as he protects Manhattan from the usual rogue's gallery of villains that threaten the city's safety. And with a full VGA reveal promised for this weekend, Game Trailers has got a teaser video, offering a glimpse of what to expect.
It's early days, but it looks like The Amazing Spider-Man could be the proper return to form that we've been waiting for. Take a look at the short teaser vid, then look out for more this Saturday. The Amazing Spider-Man is slated for a summer 2012 launch.
[Thanks, Daniel]

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal suffered a major blow just one day into his reign as England midfielder Michael Carrick was ruled out for up to three months after ankle surgery.
Carrick suffered left ankle ligament damage in training earlier this week and had an operation on Thursday.
The 32-year-old, who was left out of England's World Cup squad, had appeared likely to be a key part of van Gaal's plans in the Dutch coach's first season at Old Trafford.
But the former Netherlands boss will now have to wait longer than he would have liked to see him in action.
"Michael Carrick has had surgery this morning on his left ankle ligaments and will be out for 10-12 weeks," United said in a message on their official Twitter feed.
Van Gaal had revealed Carrick's injury, without saying the precise nature of the problem or the likely length of his absence, at his first United press conference earlier in the day.
"Michael Carrick was injured a day or two ago so that's a big blow, because he is an experienced player," van Gaal told reporters.
As he stood up to leave the media briefing at Old Trafford, van Gaal responded to a follow-up question by saying Carrick would be out for "a long time, too long".

Magellan Health has charted its course to become one of the largest managed behavioral health care companies in the nation. The company manages mental health plan, employee assistance, and work/life programs through its nationwide third-party provider network of some 70,000 behavioral health professionals. Magellan also provides radiology benefits management, specialty pharmaceutical management, and Medicaid management. Overall, it serves more than 58 million members through contracts with federal and local government agencies, insurance companies, and employers. Its services include administration, billing, claims handling, technology programs, and coordination of care.
Magellan's managed health care operations account for about 60% of annual revenues, with services provided to public sector clients accounting for the largest share (43% of sales). These programs generally provide behavioral health benefits to Medicaid and other state benefit recipients through contracts with state and local authorities. Some of the states with which it has contracts are Arizona, Florida, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania.
Managed behavioral health services provided to commercial insurers and employer groups account for about 20% of revenues. Services are provided through the company's network of behavioral health professionals, clinics, hospitals, and other care providers; operating channels include risk-based coverage, administrative service only products, and employee assistance programs.
The company's specialty solutions segment provides radiology benefits and other specialty coverage such as ultrasounds, cardiology, and pain management. Subsidiary National Imaging Associates (NIA) manages benefits for diagnostic imaging facilities. Another segment, pharmacy management, provides clinical and financial management of prescriptions, both traditional and state-funded. It also dispenses specialty pharmaceuticals. Magellan Medicaid Administration helps public sector clients run their Medicaid programs.
Magellan's corporate segment manages sales and marketing, information technology, and other corporate activities.
Geographic Reach
Magellan operates about 50 offices in 24 states and Washington, DC.
Sales and Marketing
Magellan's customers include about 40 health plans and employer groups, as well as government agencies in 24 states and Washington, DC. It also provides services to select pharmaceutical manufacturers. The company has a network of some 155,000 health care providers, as well as a third-party network of facilities including psychiatric and substance abuse hospitals, rehab centers, and community health centers.
Magellan serves customers ranging from health plans and managed care organizations to employers, labor unions, public agencies, and third-party administrators.
Advertising expenses in 2014 totaled some $2.7 million, up from $2.3 million in 2013 and $2 million in 2012.
Financial Performance
Although revenues took a dip 2011, they have generally been trending upward over the past few years. In 2014 revenues increased 6% to $3.7 billion (versus $3.6 billion in 2013) due to growth in the specialty solutions and pharmacy benefit management and dispensing divisions. In specialty solutions, recent contracts totaling some $120 million and customer settlements led to growth that year. In pharmacy benefit management, the company established new contracts worth $253 million; the October 2013 acquisition of Partners Rx also led to growth in the segment. Those rises were partially offset by declines in the commercial and public sectors.
Net income has fluctuated in the last five years. In 2014 it fell 37% to $79 million after falling 17% to $125.3 million the prior year. Those declines were driven by higher operating costs (including the cost of new contracts and added memberships as well as restructuring costs of terminated contracts). Cash flow from operations grew 15% to $211 million as cash generated from medical claims payable rose.
While Magellan still works to expand its managed health care business by promoting and adding new services, its primary strategies are to seek growth through the diversification of its business lines and to expand its focus on special populations such as individuals with serious mental illness. It recently announced plans to provide expanded computerized cognitive behavioral therapy programs for those suffering from medical and behavioral issues. In 2014 it expanded its services to members in Florida, broadening its offerings in Jacksonville, Orlando, Palm Beach, Tallahassee, Tampa Bay, and surrounding communities. Acquisitions and organic measures have allowed the company to enter new business segments including radiology benefits management and specialty pharmaceutical management, both of which are showing rapid growth.
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Medicaid enrollment is projected to increase rapidly over the next decade, and Magellan intends to take advantage of that increase by marketing itself to states that need guidance navigating the public mental health system.
The company is also expanding Medicaid management programs for special high-cost populations including dual-eligibility patients (those qualifying for both Medicare and Medicaid services), forming partnerships and ventures with regional health plans.
Magellan's new integrated health management business, Magellan Complete Care, is active in three states; the company plans to expand the business into other markets.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2013 Magellan acquired full-service pharmacy benefit management business Partners Rx, which focuses on serving health plans and self-funded employers, for $100 million. The deal boosted the scale of the company's pharmacy benefit business and has already had a positive impact on revenues.
Also that year, the company bought a 65% stake in New York-based HMO AlphaCare Holdings, adding a managed long-term care plan in five counties and Medicare plans in four counties.
Magellan in 2014 acquired CDMI, a provider of clinical consulting programs for managed care organizations and other clients, for $205 million. The purchase boosted its existing clinical specialty drug and medical management support operations and provides an opportunity to cross-sell its pharmacy benefit management services. It also acquired Cobalt Therapeutics, expanding its computerized cognitive behavioral therapy programs.

HUGE difference in scores...w
I attempted to refinance my home only to be told my credit was too low. My FICO is 683, but my other two scores are 598 and 594. I was shocked! I looked at the reports and the only difference is two of the reports shows a paid collection on the account. It was for an old $180 cell phone bill. Would that account for a differnece of over 90 points?
