What Is An Accession?
According to The American Archivist, July 1974, an Accession is "(1) The act and procedure involved in a transfer of legal title and the taking of records or papers into the physical custody of an archival agency, records center, or manuscript repository. In records center operations, transfer of legal title may not be involved. (2) The material involved in such a transfer of custody." The Delaware Public Archives receives new accessions regularly.

These seem very well put together. The fit is great, no loose fabric to try and tuck away.
Reviewed By Kurt G (Chapin, SC) Reviewed for a 2016 Ford Explorer —7/25/2016 7:40 AM
Overall I would have give a 5 star rating except the headrest covers were very hard to get over the head rests. Additionally the seat covers look great but it is very hard to pull these tight so it looks as though there is extra material. I would recommend them but they were a little tough to get on.

Welcome to Part 2 of the "Working the Wire" three-part special event. (Holding for you to get amped up )
Last week I examined players who help in 3-pointers and the percentages; this week is points, assists and turnovers. I'll cap it off next week with rebounds, steals and blocks.
The points, assists and turnover categories are often intertwined because they typically involve the players who have the ball in their hands the most. This often makes points and assists hard to find on the waiver wire; those players with the opportunity to accrue those stats are often so heavily involved in their teams' offense that they've made enough of a name for themselves to already be owned. There are options out there, though, and even more have surfaced with all the trade-deadline activity; the wheeling and dealing has altered the fantasy landscape and bestowed certain players with newfound value. Let's take a look at some widely available options in points, assists and turnovers:
Marcus Thornton, SG, Sacramento Kings (31.4 percent owned): Thornton has been a regular in this column, flirting with fantasy viability off and on during his disappointing second season. He was huge as a rookie, especially late in the season, averaging 20.3 points and 2.0 3s per game after the All-Star Game, evidence that he can score when given the opportunity. Well, with Tyreke Evans out for the next several weeks, Thornton should immediately get more opportunities to show off his ability to put the ball in the bucket at a high rate.
Thornton was underused in New Orleans, getting around 16 minutes per game, a number that should increase in his new digs. With around 25 minutes per game, Thornton should be able to average around 15 points and 1.5 3s per game, numbers that make him a valuable addition to fantasy teams in most formats. Keep an eye on how he's used in Sacramento, although all indications point toward a spike in value.
Toney Douglas, PG/SG, New York Knicks (6.2 percent owned): The Knicks traded much of their depth away to acquire Carmelo Anthony, so even though Douglas will remain on the bench, he should receive an increase in touches and, if the new-look Knicks' first game is any indication of what's to come, his value should be bolstered. He played 29 minutes off the bench, scoring 23 points with three 3s and two steals, and was already having a solid February, averaging 12.1 points and 1.9 3s per game in 21.8 minutes per contest.
Even if Douglas' minutes don't spike dramatically, the Knicks should rely upon him to score more with several of their primary offensive options wearing baby blue and yellow, so look for Douglas to average between 13-15 points per game and be a primary scoring option when Carmelo is resting. As such, Douglas should be a nice source of points, 3s and steals, and get enough of a post-deadline boost in value to make him a good addition for fantasy teams looking for cheap offensive punch.
Willie Green, SG, New Orleans Hornets (2.6 percent owned): The converse affect of Thornton being traded away is that Green should get even more minutes; he was already getting increased run lately, posting averages of 17.0 points and 1.4 3s per game in 32.4 minutes over his past five contests. After his minutes hovered around 20 per game for much of the season, he's averaging 27.4 in February, a number that should increase with Thornton out of the picture. His scoring average of 13.3 points per game this month easily eclipses his mark in any other month, and he should be able to maintain that pace, with at least a 3-pointer per game to boot. Green's situation has improved greatly over the past week, so look to add him in deeper leagues if you need points.
Kirk Hinrich, PG/SG, Atlanta Hawks (36.3 percent owned): Hinrich might not be the player he once was, but his mediocre averages this year have a lot to do with sharing time with John Wall in Washington. Now he's the starting point guard for the Hawks and should get a dramatic increase in playing time and touches. He has always been able to provide a nice combination of assists, 3s and steals when given the opportunity, and should be able to average around 15 points, 5 assists, 1.5 3s and a steal per game in his new role. With Joe Johnson, Josh Smith and Al Horford to dish the ball to, and the disappointing Jeff Teague as his primary competition for minutes, Hinrich should see a notable bump in value. The Hawks deliberately secured his services for the stretch run, and Hinrich should find the ball in his hands way more than he did in Washington. He should be owned in all formats and is suddenly a solid starting fantasy point guard, able to help in multiple categories, especially assists, which are a scarce find on the waiver wire. If he's available, grab him immediately.
Jose Juan Barea, PG, Dallas Mavericks (2.9 percent owned): Barea has become a key player for the Mavs, averaging 13.0 points, 4.1 assists and 1.2 3s per game over the past 30 days, in 22.3 minutes per game. His 9.6 assists per 48 minutes in February is higher than many starting point guards (including Chauncey Billups and Darren Collison), and Barea gets enough run to have an impact in the category. He's also providing scoring, and has secured his playing time through steady play off the bench. As mentioned, assists are hard to find on the waiver wire, and Barea should continue to tally around four per game. You won't find much better than that available in most leagues, so if he's unowned and you're in need of assists, target Barea.
Will Bynum, PG, Detroit Pistons (1.4 percent owned): Bynum saw increased run when Rodney Stuckey was sidelined but is still playing well off the bench for the Pistons, averaging 4.5 assists per game in 20.2 minutes in February. That's good for 10.6 assists per 48 minutes, and he recently had consecutive games with seven assists, proving he's still able to provide value even with Stuckey in the lineup. He doesn't provide much in the way of 3s, but he's averaging 1.3 steals per game this month and has been a steady source of assists. Despite the fact he likely won't average 30 minutes per game, Bynum is producing in limited minutes, and has become a viable option in deeper formats.
C.J. Miles, SF, Utah Jazz (14.5 percent owned): Miles has been a consistent scorer off the bench all season for the Jazz, although the most impressive part about his 12.5 points per game is that he has been able to do it while averaging just 1.0 turnover per game. With Deron Williams gone, the Jazz gave up a chunk of offense that Devin Harris alone won't be able to fill. That could increase Miles' responsibility on the offensive side of the ball.
Miles is averaging 13.3 points per game in February, which is worth noting if you're in need of points in any format. The more notable thing, however, is that he's done it while averaging a ridiculous 0.4 turnovers per game. If you need points and 3s but can't handle the increase in turnovers that typically comes along with players who provide in these categories, Miles is a must-add if he's still available in your league.
Shane Battier, SF, Memphis Grizzlies (11.3 percent owned): Battier has been a mainstay in leagues with turnovers for years, regularly contributing 3s, blocks and steals with negligible turnovers. He's doing it again this year, with 1.5 3s, 1.2 blocks and 0.9 steals, with just 1.1 turnovers per game, and it looks as if his role should be similar in Memphis as it was in Houston, especially with Rudy Gay sidelined.
Battier won't give you points or rebounds, but his ability to provide in several of the less glamorous categories, with few turnovers, makes him a perfect "glue" player in leagues with turnovers, and he's ranked No. 46 on the Player Rater if you factor in turnovers. Battier is a must-own in turnover formats, so if he's available, ignore the fact his numbers don't jump out at you and look more closely at his ability to help in several areas without harming your team elsewhere.
Peja Stojakovic, SF, Mavericks (4.6 percent owned): Peja has been completely off the fantasy radar for most of the season, battling injuries while being a non-factor in New Orleans and Toronto. But he's back to his old ways, and after being claimed off waivers by the Mavs, he has played at least 20 minutes in six of the past seven contests. With Stojakovic, that's enough playing time to undoubtedly have an impact in points and especially 3-pointers, and he's averaging 15.5 points and 3.0 3s per game in his past four contests. The great thing about Peja's role as a spot-up shooter, though, is that he's able to put up numbers like that without having to put the ball on the floor, thus he barely turns the ball over. He has averaged less than a turnover per game in each of his past three seasons, and should continue to do so with the Mavs, while still helping in points and 3-pointers.

OK, my site http://www.rvoodoo.com is getting closer to done.
I'm trying to figure out how to do my nav section instead of using a plugin. It's pretty easy to create some stunning menus in fireworks, however thats where my knowledge ends. I figured if I had the html, images, and js generated by fireworks in a directory, and php included the html, everything wouold work...so simple right?
But thats not cutting it. I just get my links in text, with none of the javascript or images loading. Soooo...any hints on how to get fireworks menus up on my theme? Do I need to cut certain segments of the html into my theme header, etc? I can include whatever code is necessary, I didn't bother posting it now, I was hoping someone had a simple answer to this for me....
I don't know a lot about coding, I just hack things together after hours on google, however the mighty google has let me down after 5 hours of searching today.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

Boiling Springs man wins $300,000 in lottery
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 12:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 12:12 p.m.
A Boiling Springs man recently learned his lucky lottery numbers really are one in a million — and then some.
The man, who lottery officials said did not want to be identified, recently cashed in a $300,000 Palmetto Cash 5 win from Sunday's drawing. A news release from the South Carolina Education Lottery said he's been playing the same five lottery numbers — 9, 11, 19, 21 and 30 — for 11 years.
The odds of winning $300,000 playing Palmetto Cash 5 are one in 1,606,214.
"This is going to change my life," the man said in a written statement.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Corner Stop 17 at 1908 Boiling Springs Road in Boiling Springs, which received a commission of $3,000 for selling the claimed ticket. The winner paid an extra dollar to "Power-Up" and tripled the $100,000 prize to $300,000.
"I play only when I can afford to, and that's not every drawing," he said.
According to the release, the winner locked the ticket in his truck while he was at work on Monday then drove to Columbia Tuesday, his day off, to cash in. He said he didn't tell anyone about the win.
The man told officials he still plans to use the lucky numbers in the future. He also plays them for Powerball and Mega Millions.
According to the agency, more than 3,800 Palmetto Cash 5 players won prizes from $1 up to $300,000 in Sunday's drawing.

1993 Toyota Tercel DX 4dr Sedan
Dependable, sound and easy made the car my favorite of all autos I have owned.
Dependability. I paid off my loan in three years and drove free for 11 years. It gave me few repair expenses. Last a long time.
Body and interior design. I like manual windows because no problems to repair. When these power things go bad it is a problem. Don't change to power windows.
I got this car used with about 118k on it, and drove it until someone plowed into the driver's side door at 55 MPH with a truck. From the beginning to the end I loved this car! The only thing I had to replace were the brake pads and the drivers side caliper which I did myself for about $150. My car burned a bit of oil, but nothing too bad, however it did receive poor fuel economy for a Tercel. I got about 22MPG. The car was also very well built! I was T boned at 55MPH on the drivers door and I walked away perfectly unharmed. The door even opened! But it didn't close - haha. There was also tons of storage room! I had no issue carting 3 guitars, 3 amps, a few suitcases, and 3 people around!
TONS of storage room for a little car, very comfortable bucket seats, quiet engine, smooth transmission!
I wish they had power windows, mirrors, and locks! ABS would be nice on all trims, as well as standard A/C. The engine was a bit slow to accelerate, but it still made it up to 110MPH for me! The cup holders could have been better too. Also, I have heard that many Tercels burn a bit of oil.
110,000 miles and only one new battery,
one new waterpump, two new sets of
tires. No other expenses besides oil
changes. Car continues to run smoothly
and dependably and handles nicely. I
run cars into the ground and expect
this to last another 5 years or more.
Love the car.
Excellent gas mileage. Exterior and
interior still in beautiful condition.
Handles great especially around corners.
Perfect interior size for short person
(I'm 5 feet) but too small for a tall
person (son is 6'1 and with 14EEEE feet
he's too big to drive the standard).
Too bad it's no longer being produced.
This is the noblest car that I have had
until now.
Power steering on the DX version. This
is a need, no luxury.
i love it!!! I want to know why they
stop making it. That Echo is a poor
replacement. I had my tercel for nine
years with it's original battery, one
set of tires,and only one replacement
of wires. 200,000 miles and all I had
to do was add freon for the air
conditioner in 2001. They need to bring
it back!
The way it drove and an excellent paint
job....Misty Blue!!!
it was a 10 i can't think of any thing
that i didn't like

Campus Quality:
The athletic centers have been recently renovated and hold excellent facilities and amenities. The library is beautiful and ever growing. Campus traditions are unique and well known, such as the Drake relays.
Campus Quality:
The Drake Relays is a nationally and world recognized event. Relays events span more than a week long starting with the kick off at street painting. Activities include the Beautiful Bulldog competition, parade, and music. World and Olympic champions as well as college and high school athletes come to compete each year.
Campus Quality:
The athletic centers, student centers, and traditions here are fantastic. The library is perfect for last minute studying, and the library and student centers both have little cafe's in them for coffee breaks.
Campus Quality:
The thing I love about Drake campus, is the painted street, and all the things happening in the city around. My favorite place to be outside of campus is definitely all of the independent coffee shops around!
Campus Quality:
My campus is absolutely gorgeous. There are so many spaces, both indoor and outdoor, that are wonderful for relaxing and studying. Our student centers and athletic facilities are phenomenal, and very easy to access. Our sporting events aren't very heavily attended, but we do have other strong traditions and events that are very popular.

Sabre Stadium should be rocking on Friday night when Liberty and Jefferson Forest wrap up their regular seasons in a most meaningful game.
Not only does the contest pit county rivals against one another, with the county championship on the line, the game will also determine a whole lot more.
As both teams beat Staunton River earlier in the season, the champions of Bedford County will be decided in this game.
While Bedford bragging rights are always nice, the bigger issue has to do with playoffs.
It's hard to lose while showing class.
It's really hard to lose when it's to a district rival, such as Lord Botetourt.
It's even harder to take when you're on the short end of a 47-10 score, as was Staunton River last Friday.
But that's what the Eagles did. Toward the end of the game, with the scoreboard reading 40-3, Staunton River showed scads of class.
But first, we set the table for you.
Going into Friday night's game, Amherst was the only Seminole District team to hold a winning record over Liberty this century.
Indeed, in the 13 games prior to this one, the Lancers held a 7-6 edge. When the dust settled Friday night at Minutemen Stadium, that distinction was lost.
Liberty outmuscled and outraced the perennially powerful and speedy Lancers, 42-16.
The game was nearly the polar opposite of last year's matchup, won by Amherst, 46-14.
If the Seminole District gave an award for most improved volleyball team, it would surely go to Liberty.
The latest sign of how much better things have gotten for the Minettes was how the team played last Tuesday night.
Liberty stretched Seminole powerhouse Jefferson Forest to the limit before the Lady Cavs prevailed.
The match went the full five sets, with only the tie-breaking game lacking the white-knuckle excitement of the rest of the evening: 25-21, 22-25, 25-22, 22-25, 15-8.
Conventional wisdom is only so good.
For instance, conventional wisdom had it that Jefferson Forest would need to put up a lot of points if the Cavs hoped to top the explosive Red Devils.
What conventional wisdom didn't count on, however, was that the Cavs would have to do so, absent one of the most productive offensive players in the Seminole District.
The path to the playoffs is fraught with danger for Staunton River.
In fact, the Eagles hit a "rocky" patch this weekend when they visit one of their Blue Ridge District foes.
Staunton River will play at Rockbridge County, seeking to beat the Wildcats for the first time since they joined the Blue Ridge. In the two games since the Rockies became the sixth members of the district, they've topped the Eagles in tidy fashion.
In 2011, Rockbridge prevailed, 21-14. Last year, it was 38-17.
Last Friday, they held a football game at Sabre Stadium and a track meet broke out.
In the end, it was the Cavs who were the more fleet, topping visiting Turner Ashby, 42-34, to the delight of a vast and partial homecoming crowd.
Despite missing a handful of key players, Jefferson Forest cranked up the offense, with its no-huddle blitzkrieg racking up points and yardage, seemingly at will.
They made it as a team.
They lost it the same way.
In a sport that is the epitome of individualism, Jefferson Forest's golf team showed the value of teamwork.
As a result, the Cavs made it nearly all the way to the summit of state golfdom. In a fiercely contested two-day tournament, the champions of district, conference and regional tourneys were edged out of a State crown by a trio of strokes.
Jamestown took the top prize:
Jamestown 302-303 = 605
It's one of those scheduling oddities.
In the midst of the Seminole slate, both Liberty and Jefferson Forest have non-district games this weekend. The Cavs get Turner Ashby, while Liberty faces Buckingham County.
The good news is that both of them will be playing at home.
The bad news is that both are "must win" affairs as a loss is likely to kill any chance of a top-eight regional finish and the home-opening game that comes with it.
There will be rest for the weary.
Some of them, anyway.
Liberty takes its well-earned bye this weekend. The Minutemen roll into an off-week sporting an overall record of 4-2 and a district mark of 1-2.
After running through a gauntlet that included Staunton River, Rockbridge, Brookville, Harrisonburg, Rustburg and E.C. Glass, the Minutemen get a chance to catch their collective breath prior to returning to the football fray on Oct. 18.

If you close your eyes and listen to "Blue" Stew Moss, you might think you're listening to the bayou bard Dr. John. Maybe it's smoke from hundreds of barroom cigarettes or a childhood spent breathing Borger's carbon black that makes his voice as raspy as an old metal gate. Vocally, he lands somewhere between Muddy Waters and George Thorogood.
And that's a good thing when you bill yourself as a blues singer. Any bluesman worth his own tears would rather sound like a whiskey-soaked loser than a clean-living choir boy. It's better for the image.
"And I don't care if you write that I've been married three times," Moss said. "That goes with it. Blues is as much about style as it is music. I've got a piece of Muddy Waters' house hanging on my wall at home. It's right between the alligator claw backscratchers."
When he's onstage, he's liable to be wearing a black suit ala the Blues Brothers, complete with a string tie, fedora and jet black Ray-Ban sunglasses. But, back before the advent of the persona, Moss was just another enlisted guy in the U.S. Navy looking for something to relieve the monotony of shipboard life. While every one else was grabbing a six-string and playing the umpteenth version of America's "A Horse With No Name," Moss decided to learn the finger-style picking made famous by Delta musicians like Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Robert Johnson.
Lots of lessons and years later, Moss was ready to go up on the bandstand as Amarillo's premier bluesman. After a day working as a video game technician, he gets dressed up and sometimes takes wife, Tammy and the kids along with him.
"The early gigs are good, because then the kids can come and we can all get home at a reasonable hour. Most of the time the tip money goes to their lunch money," he said.
Recently, Moss added harmonica player Don Sanders and bassist David Fike to his show. The trio performs as "Blue Stew" at clubs as well as private parties. They play standards like, "Sweet Home Chicago" and "Dust My Broom" in addition to Moss's original songs.
"I've never been one to sit around and play scales. I wanted to write a song and just play it. My own stuff is more what you'd call hokum blues with a Dixieland style," he said.
A variety of women, many with notable physical features, populate Moss' work. They're all big-hipped mamas who seem to be modeled on cartoonist Robert Crumb's zaftig chicks. A plus-sized redhead is the star of "Big Red Gal," while a chunky Eskimo honey inhabits "Kodiak Woman."
And then there's the barely printable crowd-pleasers.
"Most of my songs were written about women, be they real or fictitious. A big part of the blues is the innuendo, the double meaning. There's some songs that don't have any bad words. They're not out-and-out nasty, but it's the innuendo in the words, the way you sing it.
"People didn't really know what to think the first time I played the Jeffrey Dahmer song. They were like, 'I think I like it, but it turned my stomach,' " he said.
Another club favorite is the song about the unfortunate arrest of Pee Wee Herman. But, his music isn't all about adolescent gross-outs. The words to "Funky Monkey" are witty; sort of like a Borger version of Cole Porter. The song, about animal testing gone terribly wrong, rhymes "monkey life" with "monkey children and monkey wife" to create a catchy, silly hook.
His first recording effort was the cassette "Going Back To Texas" that sold out its initial run of 300 copies. Moss' compact disc, "Big Red Gal" was finished this year and sells out the 10 to 20 copies that he burns at a time. He hopes to have 1,000 copies ready for when he plays at the Polk Street Block Party on Saturday.
Moss said he's not looking to be more than a local celebrity. And if people like the work, he's happy.
"My goal is to be as famous as Tuggie (Tuckness) in Amarillo. The love of music pushes the whole thing on. The whole idea is if you can do this for money, what a great job."
Blue Stew will play from 9:20 p.m. to 10:40 p.m. Saturday on the Mardi Gras stage at the Polk Street Block Party. The group performs from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. every Thursday at Skooterz, Sixth Avenue and Western. Moss and Sanders also play from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays at BoonDocks Bar & Grill, 114 W. 16th Avenue.

It looks like Microsoft (MSFT) will be raising close to $2.7B in its latest debt-financing effort: the WSJ now reports Microsoft sold $1.95B in U.S. debt, as it shops a €550M ($715M) offering with a 20-year maturity in Europe. For the U.S. offering, Microsoft obtained a rate of just 1.01% on 5-year debt, a mere 70 bps spread over comparable Treasurys for 10-year bonds, and a 90 bps spread for 30-year bonds. The paper previously reported Microsoft was looking to raise $500M+ in the U.S to go with its European offering.

Understanding our record against winning teams and how badly this team, especially the offense has looked in the 3 losses, panic isn't something that the 49ers nor their fans need to do after today's loss.
First it was a tough loss yes, but a one point loss in which the defense played very well, giving up just 2 scores for 10 total points. All this with Aldon playing just 11 snaps, Ray Mac missing the entire second half, Skuta missing some time and Reid going down with an injury. This IS one of the best defenses in the NFL and they will be there all season long. Reid will comeback, hopefully Ray Mac won't miss anymore time and Tank/Wright are coming.
Second: The run game is fine, Hunter's fumble was ugly but Gore looked good today for the most part. The passing game was terrible but let's look at the facts. The Panthers have one of the best front 7's in football, Kaep didn't get much time at all and hardly any room to run all game. Manningham was rusty in his first game back, sure he made a couple plays but he also dropped 2 balls. VD missed most of the game and outside of Gore, he's the most important player on this roster and Crabtree isn't back yet, he's going to make a HUGE difference. We still aren't at full strength offensively.
Lastly: The ball just didn't bounce our way today's boys. If Vance catches that deep ball, we get at least a FG and win this game. On that same drive that penalty on Boldin after Mario's catch killed us. We almost came up with a big fumble recovery on Carolina's last drive, we get that, we get way more time and much better field position to try and take the lead and ultimately win the game.
I'm betting the coaching staff learned their lesson on a couple of mishaps on ST's. One, I'd be willing to place money that Osgood won't be inactive anymore this year, we missed him on our coverage units. LMJ did a good job with the PR duties, Dixon made an idiotic decision to take it out of the EZ and looked a little slow, I'm also betting LMJ is back on KR duties next week.
Last season the team couldn't win more than 2 games in a row and we thought that was going to doom us. Come playoff time we came back against 2 good teams and went to the Super Bowl and within 5 yards of winning our 6th trophy. Do we have problems? Sure, every team does. Are we perfect? No, but we have 7 games left boys. The re-reinforcements Aldon, Mario, Wright, Tank just got here, Moody is on his way and after him Crabs will be back. I still believe we haven't played our best football yet, especially on offense. The NFL season is a long marathon, not a 40 yard dash. We're 2.5 games behind Seattle, we win week 12 that makes up the 1/2 game, we beat them at home that's another game, I refuse to believe Seattle won't lose one or two other games this season. We can still win this division and we are a Superbowl contender with one of the best rosters in football that is still not a full strength.
Have faith 49er fans!

Griffin's qualities fit job as a leader
Published: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 13, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: This letter is to strongly endorse Tim Griffin as the next Sheriff of Henderson County.
As a retired police chief of Gainesville, Fla., I have witnessed the qualities in Tim that will make an excellent sheriff. I have known Tim both as a leader in the Hendersonville Police Department and as a volunteer fireman.
Having lived and worked the last six years in Hendersonville, I have had numerous field opportunities to observe Tim in action. He has a professional demeanor that reflects compassion and respect whether dealing with a crime victim, a crime perpetrator, a family that lost a home to fire or an injured child being carried to an ambulance.
Tim has the leadership qualities that make others want to follow. He has a cool head under fire and will make an excellent leader for this agency. Please vote in the upcoming Republican primary Tim Griffin for sheriff.
Larry Gabbard

61* is a 2001 American made-for-television film directed by Billy Crystal. The film stars Barry Pepper as Roger Maris and Thomas Jane as Mickey Mantle and their quest to break Babe Ruth's 1927 single-season home run record of 60 during the 1961 season of the New York Yankees. The film was first released on HBO on April 28, 2001. Wikipedia
Whitey Ford: (Sotto voce, to Mickey Mantle) This guy died and nobody told him. Commissioner Ford Frick: As I stand here this afternoon, it is impossible not to think of the Babe; not to feel his presence here even now. He was more than a ball player. He was everything that is special about this game. He was everything that is special about America. Mickey Mantle: (Sotto voce, to Whitey) I bet I got more pussy than he did.

CHICAGO- About 20 activists from Stand Up Chicago, Jobs With Justice, SEIU and other various organizations gathered in front of the Chicago Club on Thursday to confront the CEO of Motorola Solutions, Greg Brown.
Brown has brokered a deal with Mayor Rahm Emanuel to bring 400 jobs to Chicago. When announcing the jobs Motorola failed to mention that many of them are simply being relocated from other Motorola offices.
Repeating a big business mantra, Emanuel said told the Chicago Tribune, "We in the public sector, we don't create jobs. We create the conditions so you can invest and create jobs in our city."
Chanting, "We want job creation, not relocation" and "You cut jobs, give back a few," the protesters formed a picket line outside of the hotel.
Management from the hotel swiftly ran outside demanding that the picketers leave, as the hotel is already being picketed in front of their other entrance by striking Unite HERE! employees.
As the picket began to move away, an organizer from Stand Up Chicago immediately told the marchers "Don't move! Not one inch!" and the picketers followed suit and held the line.
Even some business people who were walking by came and grabbed signs and joined in the picket in a display of solidarity.
One of the organizers stood by the entrance and asked incoming businessmen, "Have you seen Greg Brown in there? Tell him we want our jobs back."
The picket was accompanied by two 12-foot monarchs wearing crowns that read "corporate welfare" and a banner that read "400 'new' jobs?"
The protesters then marched to the other side of the Congress Plaza Hotel as a group of young workers ran out of the door of a business and shouted to the marchers, "Give our jobs back!" to great acclaim from the march.
Upon arriving at the hotel's other entrance, the demonstrators joined the striking Unite HERE! workers in their picket.
Stand Up Chicago has vowed to return until something is done to bring real jobs to the unemployed and struggling workers of the Windy City.

My new Sig P238 arrives from Buds tomorrow! It was the last one they had in stock. I bought all the .380 ammo in town today (3 boxes of MFS Hungarian FMJ). I also receive my .380 dies tomorrow so I can start on reloading my spent brass. I've seen mixed reviews of the 238, so I really hope I get a good one. I'll post a range report once I get a chance to shoot it.

My favorite part is explaining the economics of moving work to india and the pricing pressure in the current environment.
"Like apparel and electronics manufacturers before him, Greenberg can cut costs by moving operations abroad. He wants to transfer half the workload to India, where salaries for programmers are typically a fourth what they are in the U.S., (see the story that follows). Not all the savings are hitting the bottom line; he is cutting bids by 20% to 50% to win new clients. "
Time for fuzzy math. If they succeed in moving half of the work to india at 1/4 of the cost, but have to cut prices by 20% to 50%, what is the impact to the bottom line?
Cost savings % * % of work moved = % of direct cost saved:
75%* 50% = 37.5% best case if they can move 1/2 the work over seas.
so using Dec 2001 numbers, they ALMOST break even. 63mm revenue, 31mm direct cost (46mm * 67%), 34mm SG&A. And that is best case scenario.
My other favorite part - HE is cutting prices. Is he actually selling?
'do you still disagree? Are you still confident?'
i mentioned that the key was getting their utilization higher. this quarter it dropped from 59% to 50% (or there about).
when they have a project, the income exceeds the expenses for those involved over that period. but when you're working only half the time, it won't cover the downtime or fixed expenses.
obviously this wasn't the quarter they return to profitable growth, or even head in the right direction. and their guidance is that it won't happen next quarter either, or perhaps not this year.
but, i don't think the company will go away. they will stick it out. not sure if i will, but i'm holding for now.
do you still disagree? Are you still confident?

'The only thing I was trying to show is that they are losing money on every project, Indian or not'
i disagree. i'm confident that most of projects are breakeven or profitable (looking at the costs and revenue of the project only, not the fixed costs of the company). the issue around corporate profitability is getting their utilization higher (more billable hours per billable employee) and balancing out the fixed to variable portions of the business. they are attempting to solve this by layoffs, adjusting the labor force to india, and of course by continuing to work on the pipeline.
yes, they are losing money now, both cash flow and net losses (so are a lot of companies). obviously the point of investing in sapient is do you believe they will continue to lose money or return to profitable growth. i believe it's the later.
...thank you SAPE for a very nice ROI. I may return if there is a dip after earnings. In the meantime, good luck with WIPRO and their rupies. There are other fish in the ocean!
You obviously have me confused with someone who hangs around message boards engaging in esoteric arguments with bashers. My position in SAPE is green, and that is my main concern. I just wanted to point out that the real world is not linear and not static. SAPE is a top company in this sector and its future, like that of so many others from ORCL on down relies on cost cutting and recovery of business capex spending. They are doing a decent job of cutting costs (although I do not approve of layoffs and out-sourcing) and capex spending will pick up as the economy recovers. But, then, you don't believe that either. Best wishes to you.
I figured costrader wouldn't respond - because he/she can't actually articulate what those complex price elasticity of demand factors are or how to measure them. So again, I'll simplify. see the article above.
WIPRO is cutting rates. Think of what that means to SAPE.
Now the math. All data from the article, unless otherwise noted.
WIPRO will make 2.35b rupees on 9.19b rupees in sales. Btw, is a rupee a jelly bean? The conversion rate is about the same.
The conversion rate from the article is 1 rupee = about 2c. So revenue of $188mm and net of $48mm. 9000 employees. I'll make this part up. Say 20% are overhead. So 7200 billable. Back to math. That means that each billable would generate $26k in revenue per quarter or $104k per year.
So how much does Sapient have to cut their rates to get down to $104k a year? A daily rate of about $500? To be competitive?
Last thing - wasn't Lucent a Sapient Client at one time? If so, why are they one of WIPRO's biggest clients? Are they still with Sapient too?
So enlighten me as to your methodology for analyzing Sapient in this ever evolving world. How do you analyze Sapient's business and extend that analysis to assess the stock's future performance?
Apparently, I am unable to comprehend the complex world that you and Sapient live in.
Well, if nothing else, you have further clarified your beliefs to the board, and your lack of understanding for the changing business dynamic in a changing world. The model is not linear or static as you put forth, but non-linear and evolving. Best of luck to you.
"I don't want to sound argumentative,"
but I'm going to sound argumentative...
"but you haven't covered all the assumptions."
Yes I have. There are 3 basic assumptions. How much work Sapient gets, how much customers pay for it, and how much work goes to india.
I assumed that sapient gets the same amount of work, customers pay 50% less for it, and 50% of work ends up overseas.
If you want to assume something different about these things, have a blast. Go crazy. I'd like to hear a fact based argument for rising prices for IT consulting, better win rate at Sapient or why they can transfer more work to india.
"If prices are cut 20%, will the number of projects go up 20% or will they go up 25%?"
I assume that it the number of projects will go up 0%. Price is the ONLY tool they have to remain competitive. Congratulations, you are now a commodity consulting business.
" Where on the curve will they break even against their fixed costs? "
It should be very easy to break even against fixed cost, since this should be a variable cost business. Somehow, Sapient has run SG&A (fixed cost) of 50% of revenues. That is astounding. That number shouldn't be more than 14-20% (take a look at Accenture or KPMG for comparisons, and they are actually GROWING businesses). Sapient's performance here sucks.
"As the world economy improves,"
Now there is a stretch that I don't believe.
"how much new business can they shove under their umbrella of fixed costs?"
My assumption is none. IT budgets are slashed 30%. Competition is harder. Companies are kicking out the consultants and creating their own capabilities.
"There are lots of things to consider here."
Other than the three above, I don't think much else matters.
I don't want to sound argumentative, but you haven't covered all the assumptions. First, you seem to make the case for 50%. What about the case for 20%? What proportion of projects will be priced down 20% vs. 50%? What is the elasticity of demand? If prices are cut 20%, will the number of projects go up 20% or will they go up 25%? Where on the curve will they break even against their fixed costs? As the world economy improves, how much new business can they shove under their umbrella of fixed costs? There are lots of things to consider here.
I would love to share my ideas with you and anyone else on the board. I also would love to get your ideas. I have dropped you an email and I would welcome email excahnges with other investors on the board. I can be reached at email@example.com
Best of luck to all!

The Taliban: Following the Funding
Monday, September 28, 2009; 2:00 PM
Post staff writer Craig Whitlock takes your questions on his story about the flow of money that funds the Taliban.
Read more: Diverse Sources Fund Insurgency In Afghanistan
Craig Whitlock: Hello everyone. Thanks for your interest in the subject of the Taliban. I'm happy to take your questions.
Birmingham, Alabama: I note the wide range of guesses about drugs as a source of Taliban strength. Is it not the case, that drugs in all events are the source of much of the instability in Afghanistan: the corruption; the absence of Karzai's govt. legitimacy; and a symptom of the paucity of employment? No counter drug program can involve the corrupt regime which spawned the trade in the first place. No counter drug program can "work" if there is no alternartive work and security. Meanwhile, why not have ISAF purchase the poppy crop for a season or two and purchase wheat, or grapes, or whatever, at a better price? It is not a free market; but no country's agriculture anywhere is market driven. If they US and the allies took the narcotics trade from the traffikers, would not some stability ensue?
Craig Whitlock: excellent questions and points. I'm not sure that drugs are the source of instability in all the examples you cite, though. I don't think you can blame government corruption on drugs; the drugs are a means to an end.
I believe there was an attempt by a European government to buy poppy crops from Afghan farmers a while back. I don't think they had enough money, and some farmers lined up outside the embassy to demand payment.
An imortant anniversary passed largely unnoticed: 13 years ago Sunday, the Taliban took Kabul. I can remember when it was our money flowing to all of the so-called "freedom fighters" of Afghanistan, as though anyone against the Soviets and their puppet government was in favor of freedom. The Soviets leave, our guns stay there, civil war breaks out, the Taliban win. We took our eyes off the country too soon. And, of course, even after the Taliban won we turned our eyes to Iraq. Maybe we should plan a little better this time?
Craig Whitlock: thanks for the comment. I think most US officials would agree that we took our eyes off Afghanistan too soon -- both after the Soviet withdrawal, and during the time of the Iraq invasion. But your last question -- can we plan better next time -- is a tough one that President Obama is wrestling with now.
Los Angeles: Are the Taliban the leaders of the indigenous peoples of Afghanistan? Are they struggling to end the foreign occupation?
Craig Whitlock: thanks for the question. The answer is not simple. Some Taliban leaders are Afghan. But by no means all Afghans consider them their leaders. Also, there are several Pakistani Taliban commanders, as well as Uzbeks, Chechens and other foreigners, who play key roles in the insurgency.
Boston: I saw this from a Newsweek article on the oral history of the Afghan war from the Taliban side and am curious what you know about the Haqqani fighters. The quote also underscores the importance of having a legitimate Afghan government partner (or not) as we try to "protect" local villages:
"YOUNAS: After these first few attacks, God seems to have opened channels of money for us. I was told money was flowing from the Gulf to the Arabs.
Our real jihad was beginning by the start of 2005. Jalaluddin Haqqani's tribal fighters came actively back to our side because the Americans and the Pakistanis had arrested his brother and other relatives. He appointed his son Sirajuddin to lead the resistance. That was a real turning point. Until then villagers in Paktia, Paktika, and Khost thought the Taliban was defeated and finished. They had started joining the militias formed by the Americans and local warlords, and were informing on us and working against us. But with the support of Haqqani's men we began capturing, judging, and beheading some of those Afghans who worked with the Americans and Karzai. Terrorized, their families and relatives left the villages and moved to the towns, even to Kabul. Our control was slowly being restored."
washingtonpost.com: The Taliban in Their Own Words
Craig Whitlock: Thanks for the citation. The Haqqani network is a major part of the insurgency. Many U.S. military officials think the Haqqanis work closely with the Taliban, nominally headed by Mullah Omar, but are a distinct network. Both are seeking to expel the U.S. and other foreign troops. The Haqqanis have longstanding ties with al-Qaeda. The elder Haqqani was a renowned mujahedin commander during the 1980s and received aid from the CIA.
Washington, D.C.:
What is the U.S. doing about the centuries-old practice known as "Hawala?"
Craig Whitlock: As we reported in the article on Sunday, the U.S. government is helping Afghan officials to register and license all hawala dealers in the country. The hawala brokers are required to report all transactions to the Afghan Central Bank, and are subject to audits. This is unusual in the Islamic world, where most hawalas are not subject to that degree of regulation.
Introduce natural parasites/predators to opium poppies: Mr. Whitlock, Has there been an attempt to introduce natural parasites/predators to opium poppies?
Craig Whitlock: Good question, I don't know. But I'm skeptical that it would work.
Anonymous: How can we be certaiin that other sources of money, from sympathetic countries/goverments/businesses are not donating funds similarly to past levels?
Craig Whitlock: Good question. I don't think we can be certain. It's unclear whether the flow of foreign donations to the Taliban has increased, decreased, or remained stable. I don't think the US government was monitoring it that closely until recently. The US officials I interviewed said there was no evidence that governments in the Persian Gulf region were donating money, as they did in the 1980s and 1990s to Afghan fighters.
Okinawa, JPN: I know that many military wives have recieved precious stones from their husbands who were deployed to Afghanistan. These were bought on the US military bases there from vendors. Are funds from this likely being funneled to the Taliban? Could the military be funding it's enemy?
Craig Whitlock: I think it is highly unlikely that this would represent a major, or even minor, source of funding to the Taliban. Gemstone smuggling is a major racket in Afghanistan, but that involves the illegal transfer of gems out of the country without paying taxes or duties to the government. There's nothing illegal about Afghans selling gemstones to foreign troops, any more than selling food or other supplies would be.
Boston: To combat the increase in operations and presence that the funding has afforded the Taliban, will the increase of 40,000 US troops mean that we can deny the Taliban and Al Qaeda (if they decide to come back to Afghanistan) any sanctuary in all of Afghanistan? If not, aren't we just choosing how big a part of Afghanistan we are deciding to win or lose?
Craig Whitlock: that's a question that the Obama administration is wrestling with right now. i doubt that the deployment of 40,000 extra troops will mean that all of Afghanistan could be instantly secured; I don't think Gen. McChrystal has argued that either. But his advisers say it is necessary to conduct a proper counterinsurgency campaign and to train large numbers of new Afghan police and soldiers.
W. Orange, NJ: Do the Saudis and Gulf Emirates continue to fund madrassas in Afghanistan and Pakistan? Are the instructors more or less the same people, delivering the same message, that help recruit jihadists for the Taliban?
Craig Whitlock: There's an awful lot of madrassas in Pakistan, in particular. It's often hard to pinpoint where they are getting money from, but certainly there have been donors in the Gulf in the past that have supported these type of programs.
Craig Whitlock: Thanks everyone for the insightful comments and questions. I really enjoyed the chat.

From School Library Journal
—Kirkus Reviews
Beautifully written, with diverse and fascinating characters, an intriguing plot, and a romance that will steal your heart. One of the most innovative fairy-tale retellings I've read in years.
—R.J. Anderson, author of Spellhunter and Ultraviolet
Shadows on the Moon weaves a spell as deft as any by its main character. Beautiful and cruel; a mesmerizing read with an intoxicating love story.
—L.A. Weatherly, author of Angel Burn and Angel Fire
Marriott plays with the motifs of the Cinderella story in fresh new ways, recasting the classic fairy tale as revenge quest in a pseudo–ancient Japan, and her powerful exploration of familial betrayals and the personal cost of vengeance dovetails seamlessly with the more familiar fairy-tale themes of love, belonging, and multiple identities. . . The atmospheric writing, compelling secondary characters, and emotional complexity of this adaptation give it broad appeal and make it a standout addition to the perennially appealing field of fairy-tale novelizations.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
A rich cultural context and strong female characters make this novel reminiscent of Kristin Cashore's GRACELING (Harcourt, 2008) and Arthur Golden's MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA (Knopf, 1998). The "Cinderella" theme is interwoven with just the right strokes, creating a magical reinterpretation that is much richer than a mere retelling. Although several hot-button issues such as self-mutilation and gender identity are dealt with in an explicit manner, the fast-moving plot, intense action, and compelling characters will pull readers through to the satisfying conclusion.

If this kid was as sold on BYU as he says he is in this article, he'd be on board already. BYU usually fills up their class very early, and not much changes as NSD gets closer. I'd be pretty surprised if he waits until NSD and picks BYU. Would be against the grain for sure.

Sounds like a great kid. He is the kid Bronco speaks of when he says he won't lose a recruit. He loves BYU. He fits in well there. As a Utah fan, I can't fault a kid for that at all.

I've been following this guy for over a year now, and he plays like a human bulldozer. He may have only 3 stars next to his name, but look at the offers rolling in. Any team will be glad to have him. What he should consider is where will he be playing. If he goes to a PAC school, his time will be relegated to the west coast. If he goes to BYU, he'll get to go to Hawaii, play at Fed Ex field (Redskins stadium), play close to home at GT where friends and family can attend, get to play ND in Provo and see TD Jesus, likely play at Dallas Cowboys stadium, and more. It sounds like a pretty good offer to me- not to mention BYU will have a scholarship for him when he returns from his mission.

Ute alumni is a byu fan posting as a byu fan. He is a Ute alumni and byu fan.
Tough to wrap your head around that one?
I know simple concepts are tough for U fans sometimes as you are the troll pretending to be from the side.
I remember when it was fun to come on these boards pretending to be from the other side, but then I grew up.
I wonder if U kids will too someday, but I wont be holding my breath.
But way to go on the "This is from a BYU fan." Very convincing!
It's clear when anyone is so off base and they tell us which side they are from they clearly are not.

@Ted H
I'm pretty sure you have hondo figured out. I've been thinking the same thing myself. Too many outrageous posts to take him seriously.

Ted H.
take a look at Hondo's posts. Clearly, he is a BYU fan. Check out any Ute article from today with comments on it. He is either a BYU fan, or he is a troll trying to troll both sides.

Ted H,
Yet the byu fans seem to love hime base on the number on likes he gets... a pretty "clear" picture isn't it.
