Much discussion is being focused in Congress, recent books, articles, and in the media, on the financial crisis and the contributing factors to that crisis. Omitting until the end the role of Goldman Sachs, one important factor about the crisis must not be overlooked said James Kwak of The Baseline Scenario:
Remember that financial services are an intermediate product -- that is, we don't eat them, or live in them, or put them on in the morning. They are supposed to enable a more efficient allocation of capital, so that the non-financial economy is more productive. But what we saw since the 1980s was the unmooring of the financial sector from the rest of the economy.Financial services are supposed to serve our economy; not be the economy. Yet the trend is otherwise... over 40% of the profits of the entire US corporate sector went to the financial industry. As a reference, in 1970 it was 4%!
Krugman wrote:
A growing body of analysis suggests that an oversized financial industry is hurting the broader economy. Shrinking the oversized industry won't make Wall Street happy, but what's bad for Wall Street would be good for America.Martin Wolf, of the Financial Times, wrote:
...the financial sector seems to be a machine to transfer income and wealth from outsiders to insiders, while increasing the fragility of the economy as a whole."Even the ethic has changed. Doing things with ones hands - the pride in the skill and craft of so doing - used to be our ethic; now it's who can earn the most money.
The real issue is that America has changed from a hands-on country to one that sells the products of others. As more and more production and service jobs go off-shore, only financial services are staying behind. And as Andrew Sorkin said on the Charlie Rose show last week:
...so many of these instruments on Wall Street, it's really just a casino, there is no underlying assets, they don't actually own these devices; people aren't getting mortgages because of this... What is the social utility of that?iRobot products sold to the DoD are manufactured offshore!
There was a telling quote from John Dulchinos, the CEO of Adept, during an interview by GetRobo's Noriko Kageki:
Did you know that there are a billion cell phones per year being made globally of which 200-300 million are sold in the U.S. but not a single one is built in the U.S.? Ten years ago that was not the case. If the industry can't remain competitive, then there are no jobs. And robots are automating tasks no longer done by hand. But in almost all cases those people are redeployed into other applications in the plant and allow the plant to grow and get much more efficient.Sidebar about Goldman Sachs
From a blog entry in The Huffington Post by Senator Carl Levin:
Most investors make the assumption that people selling them securities want those securities to succeed. That's how our markets ought to work, but they don't always. The Senators who in the 1930s investigated the causes of the Great Depression stated the principle clearly:
[Investors] must believe that their investment banker would not offer them the bonds unless the banker believed them to be safe. This throws a heavy responsibility upon the banker. He may and does make mistakes. There is no way that he can avoid making mistakes because he is human and because in this world, things are only relatively secure. There is no such thing as absolute security. But while the banker may make mistakes, he must never make the mistake of offering investments to his clients which he does not believe to be good.
Goldman documents make clear that in 2007 it was betting heavily against the housing market while it was selling investments in that market to its clients. It sold those clients high-risk mortgage-backed securities and CDOs that it wanted to get off its books in transactions that created a conflict of interest between Goldman's bottom line and its clients' interests.
CDO, and who have no defenses against the harm such exotic Wall Street creations can cause.
Levin went on to say that:
Running through our findings and these hearings is a thread that connects the reckless actions of mortgage brokers at WaMu with market-driven credit rating agencies and the Wall Street executives designing the next synthetic. That thread is unbridled greed, and the absence of a cop on the beat to control it.I couldn't agree more. I'm pained to see this happening during my lifetime.


text: Diagnosis The primary role of the Mass. Eye and Ear Neuro-Ophthalmology Service is to render diagnoses of problems that have altered a patient's vision and have not been diagnosed by other physicians. A large percentage of patients who are referred to our Service have medical problems, which have a high likelihood of causing significant disability, and often cause permanent blindness or other type of disabling visual problem. Most problems we encounter in consultations are a result of underlying disorders that have caused some form of blindness ("afferent" visual dysfunction). However, approximately 30 percent of the problems are related to abnormalities of the movement of the eyes (i.e. "efferent" visual dysfunction), which can cause double vision, a sense of movement of the world ("oscillopsia") and abnormalities of balance. Our clinical service has had special interest in the diagnosis and management of several types of problems. The first is disorders of the retina or optic nerve that cause blindness, especially optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy and tumors of the anterior visual pathway. Our service also has special interest and expertise in the management of patients who have giant cell arteritis, idiopathic intracranial hypertension and adult strabismus (i.e. "crossed eyes"). We offer the option for surgical correction of eye movement problems in many adult strabismus cases. Make An Appointment Today! 617-573-3202

No battens. Also on the 2013 Team version they have the new aramid load frame criss-crossing the canopy which they hope will prevent all LE to TE failures. In addtion what this does is make the whole structure more solid and I'd agree that it provides just a little bit extra something to the handling on what was already a very precise and direct kite.Brent4336 wrote:

WASHINGTON, DC, December 10, 2008 (ENS) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is taking a page from the book of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is now posting pictures and descriptions of fugitive environmental lawbreakers or those accused of environmental crimes on a new website.
The EPA's Most Wanted site opened today at: http://www.epa.gov/fugitives with 23 fugitives featured.
The alleged violations include smuggling of ozone-depleting substances, illegally disposing of hazardous waste, discharging pollutants into the air and water, laundering money and making criminally false statements.
"Putting this information on the EPA's website will increase the number of eyes looking for environmental fugitives," said Granta Nakayama, head of the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "Two EPA fugitives were captured this year, and this website could help us find more fugitives in the future."
The website includes photos of the accused, summaries of their alleged environmental violations, and information on each fugitive's last known whereabouts.
One of the featured fugitives is Mauro Valenzuela, 39, a former mechanic for Sabertech. Valenzuela is alleged to have illegally transported hazardous materials on a commercial aircraft.
In 1996, Valenzuela allegedly transported waste oxygen generators onboard ValuJet flight 592 without proper markings and other safety measures.
The flight crashed into the Everglades shortly after take-off from Miami International Airport killing all 110 passengers and crew onboard. Valenzuela fled the country soon after his arraignment nine years ago.
The website also lists EPA's captured fugitives such as the two men the agency found on the run earlier this year. David Allen Phillips escaped prison four years ago after being convicted of Clean Water Act crimes in Montana.
He fled to Mexico, was turned over to authorities by the Mexican government last March, and awaits further sentencing.
David Ortiz fled after the appeal of his conviction for Clean Water Act crimes in 2004. He remained at large for almost four years until his capture last March in Colorado and is currently in prison.
The EPA is advising anyone who encounters a fugitive to notify the agency by submitting the "Report a Fugitive" form on the website. The information will be electronically sent to EPA's national criminal investigation office in Washington, DC.
Members of the public may also choose to report the information to their local police department or, if outside the United States, to the nearest U.S. Embassy.
Some fugitives may be armed and dangerous, and EPA warns members of the public against trying to apprehend them.
Many of the alleged violators listed on the website have fled the country. EPA depends on cooperation with Interpol and other international law enforcement agencies to locate them.
The FBI, the U.S. Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms also maintain websites featuring fugitives from the law, but EPA is the first federal law enforcement agency to feature an environmental crimes fugitive website.
Criminal charges are allegations of misconduct. Individuals charged with environmental crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Data center design
In the information age, data centers are one of the most critical components of a facility. If the data center isn't reliable, business can't be done. Experts provide insights on cooling and power issues, cloud computing, and energy efficiency.

- David E. Wesemann, PE, LEED AP, ATD, President, Spectrum Engineers Inc., Salt Lake City
CSE: What challenges does a data center project pose that are unique from other structures?
Kevin V. Dickens: Energy optimization. By definition these structures are energy intensive, but responsible mechanical design demands that we do all we can to minimize the power required to support the IT base load. Hence, the focus on the power usage effectiveness (PUE) metric in all of its manifestations. The follow-on challenge with PUE is simply being secure enough to create and use your own version of the metric (based on the information available to you), and not getting caught up in "PUE envy" and the pointless comparisons and competition. The only thing that really matters is a PUE tool that works in your particular application.
Terrence J. Gillick: While the enclosure is straightforward and sturdy, the mechanical and electrical systems are unique in their capabilities and sophistication. In particular, relative to the footprint of the building, the electrical density is very high, and the mechanical systems include precision air conditioning systems that are significantly more complex than traditional HVAC systems. For a commissioning agent, one of the larger challenges is to validate the building automation and control systems and electrical power management systems to ensure that the sequences of operations defined by the engineer of record are properly implemented and, in turn, to validate that the facility will operate as intended.
Bill Kosik: First, I think the time frame is more like one to three years or less. The industry continues to move very rapidly. It is not cloud computing itself that is driving change, it is what is causing the need for cloud computing—the Internet of Things, as it is called. Everything from your car's diagnostic system to the temperature in your refrigerator is in the cloud. This will continue to drive a greater and greater need for data centers.
Keith Lane: Data centers are very unique facilities. The sheer amount of power and critical nature of the loads being served require significant expertise. Uninterruptable power supplies (UPS), large standby generators, fuel supplies, large conductors, medium-voltage services, large transformers, various voltages, harmonic distortion, metering, PUE, and energy efficiency all must be considered in the design of data center facilities. Because of the unique nature of the electrical load profile, the heating of underground electrical duct banks must be evaluated. This involves 3-D modeling of the underground feeders as well as a comprehensive failure mode analysis and Neher-McGrath heating calculations. The initial cost of building a data center is tremendous. The long-term costs associated with running a data center include the electrical and water services, which are very significant and must be considered during the design process. The electrical and mechanical engineer must work collaboratively to ensure the most reliable and cost-effective systems are designed and implemented. Enough design time must be built into the schedule to ensure value engineering ideas are fully vetted. Additionally, comprehensive commissioning of the data center should be provided by a third party to ensure all components of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and fire protection system work independently and as a system prior to actually serving critical loads.
David E. Wesemann: Capacity of the utility supply, in particular electrical, is much greater than other buildings. Many times the electrical utility is not prepared for the large loads a data center poses on the electrical grid and many months, or even years, are required for planning and preparation. There are three key items:
- Redundancy and reliability requirements: Data centers normally require a much higher level of reliability that is provided with redundant components and paths.
- Security: Data center facilities, including the infrastructure equipment, have a higher level of security risk associated with them.
- Maintenance: Data center infrastructure components and paths generally cannot be taken out of service for maintenance. Designs must accommodate this.
CSE: When working in mission critical facilities, what's the most difficult challenge you face?
Gillick: Working in an occupied mission-critical facility—for example, commissioning an upgrade to existing MEP systems—poses the greatest challenge for us in protecting the critical load for patient care, social media, revenue generation, retail sales, or back-office operations. In planning commissioning for these facilities, we define every step of the process in great detail to avoid impacting ongoing operations.
Dickens: After energy, the second challenge is to provide appropriate redundancy strategies based on the facility's demands, budget, and operating model. It isn't as simple as working toward the Uptime Institute's Tier II or Tier III certification. It really needs to be right-sized for the project. The business drivers for a cloud provider, a banking institution, or a command and control facility for the Dept. of Defense are vastly different. The redundancy strategy to support that mission, be it physical duplication, virtualization via software, or mirrored facilities, is just as unique. If you simply "double up" then you are being intellectually dishonest and letting your customer down.
Wesemann: Meeting the reliability and capacity requirements with a limited budget. Many times owners/end users have high expectations for reliability without the budget to support those expectations. Usually this can be overcome by educating the owner/end users with a cost/risk analysis and discussion.
CSE: How will cloud computing affect data centers in the next three to five years?
Dickens: For those of us in facilities, I think the primary impact will simply be more work. But as far as the facilities themselves, the mix in the cabinets may change, but we will still be responding to higher load densities and the need for modularity within the data center. Whatever the cloud is today, it will be something different in the future; that's the nature of the information age. But the parallel evolution on the facilities side will continue to be seen in expanded environmental parameters and a slow trek to direct fluid cooling.
Wesemann: We can only speculate. Cloud computing will still require data centers, which will still require engineers to design them. There may be some centralization of data centers as cloud computing picks up users; however, as more companies offer cloud computing, they may migrate away from large central data centers to more, smaller data centers. I believe there will always be specialized businesses and services that have unique and critical applications that will want to be kept "in house" rather than rely on remote sites and the limited bandwidth and reliability of the telecomm service providers to communicate between users and applications.
Gillick: Cloud computing servers and storage equipment will require an exponential increase in raised floor space to support the continued growth of cloud computing over the course of the next three to five years. Data center owners, planners, and IT planners are now challenged with determining how much additional space they will need to allocate, lease, and/or build to support cloud computing requirements.
CSE: Please describe a recent new building project you've worked on—share problems you've encountered, how you've solved them, and engineering aspects of the project you're especially proud of.
Wesemann: One issue we have on new projects is the estimation of IT/server equipment load for the sizing of mechanical and electrical equipment. On one particular project, a data center user requested 300 W/sq ft for IT load alone, not including the power for the mechanical cooling. After much debate and with some reservation, the user agreed to allow the design team to use 150 W/sq ft as the basis of design, with expansion capabilities to 300 W/sq ft. Modular mechanical and electrical systems were used for the initial load with provisions to easily add components if and when needed. The data center has been in operation for about five years and based on the last report, the IT load has never increased beyond W/sq ft.
Gillick: We recently provided commissioning for the first phase of a multiphase greenfield data center construction project for a global company. The first phase comprised 200,000 sq ft of Tier III data center space with a large electrical service. Overall challenges included communicating effectively and succinctly the requirements and goals of the commissioning program, effectively scheduling commissioning activities 18 months in advance, and developing a plan to concurrently commission mechanical, electrical, and control systems. Two critical scheduling milestone goals were established: one, that the building automation system be installed and commissioned prior to functional testing; and two, that a factory witness test of the control systems and graphics be required prior to their deployment at the site. Successful completion of these milestones enabled our team to validate and use all of the trending features of the building automation system (BAS) and the power quality and monitoring system as a reporting tool during functional commissioning and contributed to meeting the aggressive project schedule. Additionally, we provided full lifecycle commissioning services beginning at schematic design and continuing for one year beyond beneficial occupancy. The process required early integration of the building automation and energy management systems and power monitoring and control systems—in particular, an extensive point count.
Lane: Our firm has worked closely with Silent Aire Technology for more than five years enhancing the design of modular data center deployments around the country. There are numerous challenges and numerous benefits to the design, construction, and deployment of modular data centers. Modular data centers are designed and built as a complete system. The entire mechanical and electrical system is built around the client's IT infrastructure needs and requirements. Modular offsite construction, as opposed to the conventional brick and mortar data center, delivers the following main benefits: speed, performance, and cost-containment. Building offsite in a controlled, safe, and environmentally friendly space may quite often allow for much quicker deployment. In addition to the time savings in building the mechanical, electrical, and structural components, all components and systems are tested in the factory before shipping to the site. This saves time and money during the final integrated systems testing (IST) before hand-over to the client in the field. Optimal performance is more quickly achieved from a modular data center versus a solution built from scratch. The design specifications are tested and verified before the unit ships, thereby delivering immediate quality assurance. There are several advantages to building offsite, but the main reasons are cost control and speed to market. Delays related to weather, site conditions, unreliable or inconsistent labor forces, and labor inefficiencies are greatly reduced or eliminated in a warehouse/prefabrication environment. This leads to reduction in cost and schedule. Additionally, estimating the total cost of the project is typically more accurate. In the end, this represents less risk to the end user. Modular data centers that are factory built can come with either a UL or ETL safety certification label that certifies they have been factory tested and meet the required electrical safety codes and requirements. This safety certification allows the modular data centers to be classified as equipment and not modular buildings, which may often circumvent permitting and inspection requirements that would normally be demanded by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) in a brick and mortar build, thus allowing for aggressive and expedient deployments. Other benefits to the modular data centers being classified as equipment are: they can be depreciated as equipment, and opportunities for leasing or financing of the modular data center exist as well.

We've always suspected the healing properties of a BMA membership, but a recent find by colleagues at the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art confirms that joining the BMA will make you well…
Two weeks ago, we received an email from staff at the Archives, noting that they had "uncovered an object in one of our collections which refers to the BMA." The object – part of the Leslie Cheek papers, 1940-1983 – was an unusual one – a fold-out triptych that depicted three cartoon stomachs, each of which was in a different state of health. The top stomach was a septic stomach, "gangrened by rum and tobacco"; the second one was a sick stomach, "relieved by abstinence but unsatisfied"; finally, the stomach at the bottom of the triptych was a sound stomach, a state achieved "after joining the Baltimore Museum of Art."
Our interest was piqued. Where had this object come from, and what did it refer to? Could we get any more information on it? Would joining the BMA still heal an ailing stomach?
To the BMA Archives!
To solve this mystery, we turned to Emily Rafferty, the BMA's Head Librarian and Archivist. In short order, she uncovered the wonderful image above, which depicts Miss Grace Hooper Smith, BMA Membership Secretary, holding the triptych. In addition, the full description for the piece in our files gives far more context to the stomach cartoon:
Two images from the exhibition, A Souvenir of Romanticism in America (May 10 – August 10, 1940) at The Baltimore Museum of Art. At right is Miss Grace Hooper Smith, BMA Membership Secretary, dressed as a woman protesting the consumption of alcohol. The exhibition turned the museum top to bottom into a nineteenth century institution – publications were written in the florid style of the period, costumed actors were hired to greet museum-goers, and a Godey's Ball was held for the opening. One of the publications was titled, "Popular Poisons, Tract No. 4: Rum and Tobacco" and it appealed to museum-goers to pledge temperance and membership in the Museum. On the left is likely Joseph Katz, a trustee at the time also in costume and holding a sign advertising the exhibition.
There you have it. Not only was the mystery unraveled, but we also get to take a delightful wander down memory lane. It seems like a perfect moment for #throwbackthursday.
What do you think? Does art cure what ails you? Do you have a favorite #throwbackthursday moment? Share it with us. We'd love to hear about the mysteries you've uncovered when looking into the past.

Tor Books UK Says Ditching DRM Showed No Increase In Piracy
from the of-course-not dept
Zac Morris was the first of a few of you to point us to a blog post from Tor UK talking about the impact one year later with the key line being:
As it is, we've seen no discernible increase in piracy on any of our titles, despite them being DRM-free for nearly a year.Given the point we made above, this is hardly surprising. In fact, it seems almost silly to look at all the fears some had about the move to DRM-free. In fact, it looked like Tor was a lot more worried about it than its authors. As the blog post notes, when it carefully approached its authors, including some best sellers, they were eager to support the move, with many applauding the publisher for taking that step, rather than being anti-consumer. Tor notes that the very fact that both its customers and authors seemed aligned on this issue made the decision much easier to make in the long run.
Of course, the real question now is who's next? I'm still amazed that any publisher thinks that DRM is a good idea. Now Tor's provided more evidence that removing it doesn't increase infringement rates. So, in one single move, publishers can provide significantly more value and convenience for ebook buyers, and take some of the power away from Amazon without any risk of greater infringement. It's astounding that publishers aren't pushing each other aside to make a similar move.

Nicolas Cage recalls being inspired by the late James Dean after watching his films and is disappointed that fame has changed since then, with people who are "famous for famous' sake" now
Nicolas Cage says it "sucks to be famous right now".
The 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' star recalls being inspired by the late James Dean after watching him on 1955's drama 'Rebel Without a Cause' and 'East of Eden', and insists the American actor's talent made him want to join the film industry.
The 50-year-old actor is disappointed that fame has changed since then as there are people who are "famous for famous' sake" now.
Talking at the South by Southwest festival (SXSW) in Austin, Texas on Monday (10.03.14), Cage said: "I started acting because I wanted to be James Dean. I saw him in 'Rebel Without a Cause', 'East of Eden'. Nothing affected me -- no rock song, no classical music -- the way Dean affected in 'Eden.' It blew my mind. I was like, 'That's what I want to do.'
"This was before everyone had a thing called a Smartphone, and before the advent of the 'celebutard' -- just being famous for famous' sake. I'm not complaining, but it really sucks to be famous right now."
Cage will next hit the big screen in crime thriller 'Tokarev' alongside Rachel Nichols.

Ole Miss continues its preparations for the the 2014 season with the second full week of fall camp starting Monday. Here's a look back at the first full week of fall camp with some observations and takeaways, as well as some linked stories of interest for Ole Miss fans. We will look to do something similar each week on the blog throughout football season.
1. Southeastern Conference coaches talked anonymously about conference foes for the 2014 season, and they had a lot of praise for Ole Miss.
"They are probably the second-best team in the West, maybe better," said one anonymous SEC coach.
2. NFL.com's Bucky Brooks compiled a list of the top 25 college football teams with the most NFL talent, and headlined by the sophomore trio of Robert Nkemdiche, Laquon Treadwell and Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss came in at No. 13.
"With the Rebels poised to dominate the NFL draft the next few years, it's time to view Ole Miss as a viable contender in the SEC West," wrote Brooks of Ole Miss.
3. ESPN.com's Travis Haney compiled a list of the top 50 breakout players for the 2014 season, and Nkemdiche came in at No. 10, and if the first week of fall camp is any indication, he's primed for a breakout season.
"In our gap schemes we can't back block because of him, and that causes us to have to change some things," said Freeze of Nkemdiche. "When you're installing you want to be able to just run your stuff and teach it, but it looks so bad you get frustrated. He's a handful."
4. Defensive coordinator Dave Wommack called Anthony Alford one of the best two or three athletes on the team. He's pushing junior Trae Elston at Rover safety, he's in the mix as a punt returner, and he's taking snaps as a Wildcat quarterback. He looks the part and he's going to play a significant role this season.
"I love him in a lot of ways," said Freeze of Alford. "He took some snaps (at quarterback) yesterday too. He looked explosive. He looked good at punt return this morning. Defensively, he's getting better and better."
5. With the injury to sophomore Tee Shepard - who had an MRI on Saturday and we will learn more from Freeze on Monday - it will be interesting to see where senior Cliff Coleman and junior Mike Hilton gets reps. Both versatile defensive backs can play cornerback, Huskie and free safety.
6. On a related note, with the injury to Shepard, freshman Kendarius Webster may play a bigger role at cornerback. He shed his non-contact green jersey for the first Saturday and made a couple of nice plays, including an interception of sophomore quarterback Ryan Buchanan.
7. Going back to spring practice, the coaches have raved about freshman defensive end Marquis Haynes. He's run with the first-team defense in place of sophomore Fadol Brown, who's been sidelined with an injury. Look for him to contribute as a rush end opposite junior defensive end C.J. Johnson, if not in a larger role this season.
"He's getting some different looks over there with the tight end and different things that he's not used to, so he makes some mistakes," said Freeze of Haynes. "But one thing I know about him is he makes them 100 miles an hour. We can live with that. We're pleased with where he is and we expect him to get better each day."
8. While the defense dominated on Saturday, senior quarterback Bo Wallace showed off his stronger arm, rolling left and completing a back-shoulder pass to Treadwell for a touchdown, and later throwing another touchdown to sophomore tight end Evan Engram in a red-zone drill.
9. On the offensive line, it appears to be six players competing for five spots, with Tunsil at left tackle, junior Aaron Morris at left guard and junior Justin Bell at right guard the constants throughout fall camp. Concerning the center and right tackle position battles, Freeze said it would probably be another week before deciding on the first-teamers.
"We've been going back and forth this week," Freeze said Saturday. "It will probably be another week before we say, 'This is who we're going with in the first group.' Fahn (Cooper) has been going with the first group (at right tackle) until today I think we made a switch back to look at Robert (Conyers) there and Ben (Still) at center."
10. If you're looking for a walk-on to contribute, junior Craig Frigo, a 6-foot-1, 301-pound offensive lineman from Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, is a prime candidate. He has consistently worked with the second-team offense and has also showed some versatility, moving around from left tackle, to right tackle, to left guard, even taking some snaps at center.
11. With six running backs also competing for playing time, it's hard to notice any separation, but it appears that sophomore Mark Dodson and redshirt freshman Jordan Wilkins have taken a lot of first-team reps and have shown out thus far in fall camp.
12. Without much fanfare, junior Quintavius Burdette moved from cornerback to slot receiver during the spring and entered fall camp as a backup behind sophomore Quincy Adeboyejo. The two-sport athlete, who also competes on the Ole Miss track & field team, has gotten his share of first-team reps with Adeboyejo and sophomore tight end Evan Engram, who has also lined up in the slot.
13. In special teams work, freshman Gary Wunderlich, the No. 1 kicker prospect coming out of high school, has split reps with redshirt freshman Will Gleeson at punter and redshirt freshman Andy Pappanastos and senior Andrew Fletcher at kicker. Wunderlich has the strongest leg of the group but he must improve his consistency.
14. When asked after practice Thursday, Freeze said Gleeson was in the lead at punter. The Melbourne, Australia, native gives the team some options to do some out-of-the-box stuff, such as the rugby-style punting from his Australian football background. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, Tim, who plays for Rutgers, the younger Gleeson has played the American game for about two years.
"I basically had to forget all my instilled knowledge of kicking Australian football on the run low and hard, and basically kick it high and as long as possible in two steps with hang time," Gleeson said.
15. We're 18 days away from the season opener against Boise State, but here's an interesting profile of first-year Boise State head coach Bryan Harsin and his stamp on the program after the departure of long-time Broncos coach Chris Petersen for Washington. Prior to his arrival at Boise State, Harsin was the head coach at Arkansas State (2013), where he followed Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn (2012), who followed Freeze (2011).

Autopsy: external examination
[Dr. Fowler]: The types of information that one tries to get from an external examination fall into multiple different areas. The first one is—is the identity of the deceased correct? So the pathologist will go through a fair amount of time looking at eye color, height, weight, looking for scars which may be useful for identification at a later stage. We will also be looking for the external evidence of any disease. Many disease will show up on the surface of the body in the way of abnormal coloring of the skin, they may show up in lumps, bumps etc. in parts of the body that you would not normally expect to find them, so that would allow the pathologist to have a fair idea up front of what's going on inside. Then of course when we are looking at the traumatic cases where the person has either been injured from a firearm, a knife, a motor vehicle, etc. the types of injuries that are found on the outside of the body are very specific to that type of instrument.

Times-News correspondent Hendersonville's Rescue Mission recently had a growth spurt that its leaders hope will benefit the entire community.
The mission is renovating property it purchased along about half a city block on Seventh Avenue to create a new Christian Outreach Ministry and a Gospel Warehouse.
Once complete, the new ministry and warehouse will allow the mission to expand programs it offers to people who struggle with homelessness and addiction, as well as provide space for the community to gather and have fun.
Plans even include creating an outdoor playground for the children of mission residents.
"I saw it was needed," said Anthony McMinn, the director of the mission on Maple Street. "The needs are greater. We need to meet their needs in a greater way.
The way we have done business over the years has had to evolve, and this gives us a great opportunity to do that."
The mission bought the building at 628 Seventh Ave.
after the property entered foreclosure. Work on the building, which covers between 12,000 and 13,000 square feet, is now under way.
McMinn said he hopes renovations will be complete in time for a grand opening at the end of summer.
By the time it opens, McMinn said he expects the mission will have spent about $350,000 to $375,000 on the purchase and renovations. The mission is also in the process of buying an adjacent lot that will be used for a playground once a small, old building on the lot is torn down.
"I'm so excited," McMinn said. "The greatest thing we do is we share the gospel of Jesus Christ. It allows people to change their lives and free themselves from addiction."
The new outreach ministry will give the mission more space to offer its free clinic to those who need medical care. The expanded clinic will include three exam rooms, an office for a doctor and a reception area.
The new space will also include enough room to double the ministry's learning center and GED classrooms. Other parts of the outreach ministry will include a board room and meeting rooms. An upstairs apartment in the building is being converted into a Christian counseling center.
"We want to share the gospel," McMinn said. "We want

I've searched for several hours and haven't come up with a reference - or even many discussions - of how to go about validating Japanese names, addresses, etc. When I lived in Japan websites, atm's etc. required such info to be entered with the roman alphabet but I've seen some websites that are allowing Kanji/Hiragana/Katakana. I haven't tested many of them for validation but one that I did test (after looking at the page source and discovering no client-side validation) allowed me to put this in the name field: J*=123*go^ Neat!
Any pointers/references? Thanks

One of the most common snags that ASP developers encounter when they first approach ASP.NET is that managed Web applications must be written according to a single-form interface model. Find out how it works.
Dino Esposito
MSDN Magazine May 2003
In Windows Forms applications, similar commands, such as those in a menu and their counterparts on a toolbar, are not automatically related. They don't fire the same event or run the same handler routine. Yet code that allows the same or similar user commands to fire the same code simplifies development.This article describes the principles of command management and why it's important to have functional commands that are not exclusive to any one UI element. In order to provide an MFC-like command management infrastructure, a design pattern is developed and applied as a series of C# classes.

If you're planning to build an e-commerce site, you'll be pleased to see that ASP.NET makes it easier than ever. Existing controls can be used and extended to add a great deal more functionality than you might expect. In this article, forms-based authentication is used to verify the identity of users and make certain areas of the site, such as the check-out page, inaccessible to unauthorized users. The power and flexibility of validation controls are demonstrated using the CustomValidator control to connect to a Web Service that verifies addresses. A shopping cart is then implemented in ASP.NET using the DataGrid, and finally, credit card authorization and billing are performed.
Jason Lefebvre and Robert Lair
MSDN Magazine August 2002
Pre-built custom controls make application design easier and faster and allow you to maintain UI consistency. However, prepackaged controls can be big and slow, and are OS-specific. For those who don't want to use prepackaged controls, Visual Studio .NET provides controls for Web Forms similar to those found in Windows Forms, including label and textbox, and new additions such as the DataGrid, all of which you can customize. If you want to design your own controls, the .NET Framework provides inheritable classes that take care of all the nasty stuff you want to avoid, including page lifecycle, maintaining state across invocations, and browser detection. This article discusses these concepts, as well as eventing, rendering, and client-side scripting.
David S. Platt
MSDN Magazine June 2002
Sometimes the extra controls that come with Visual Studio .NET can be a bit inflexible or they just don't provide enough functionality or flexibility for all situations. The ASP.NET form validation controls, while powerful and easy to use, require that the entire page be valid before it's submitted back to the server. Through the use of the new object-oriented features of Visual Basic .NET, it is possible to extend their functionality to overcome this limitation. This article tells you how and helps you decide when it's a good idea to keep validation on the client and when you'd be better off disabling it.

What is the easiest way to reset all the controls on a web form. Can I set "veiw state" to false for all of the controls with one command, do a response-redirect to its own page, and set view state back to true. What is the easiest way to do it.

After you have spent all the money
A liar goes in fine clothes
All I can give you is broken-face gargoyles
All the policemen, saloonkeepers and efficiency experts in Toledo knew Bern Dailey
Am I the river your white birds fly over
Among the grassroots
And this will be all
Armour Avenue was the name of this street
A swirl in the air where your head was once, here
Baby vamps, is it harder work than it used to be
Because I have called to you
Bend low again, night of summer stars
Born a million years ago you stay here a million years
Both were jailbirds; no speechmakers at all
Box cars run by a mile long
By day tireless smokestacks
Cast a bronze of my head and legs and put them on the kings street
Child of the Aztec gods
Count these reminiscences like money
Death comes once, let it be easy
Death is stronger than all the governments
Did I see a crucifix in your eyes
Do you know how the dream looms
Drum on your drums, batter on your banjoes
Early May, after cold rain the sun baffling cold wind
Elsie Flimmerwon, you got a job now with a jazz outfit in vaudeville
Every year Emily Dickinson sent one friend
Fasten black eyes on me
Feliksowa has gone again from our house and this time for good, I hope
First I would like to write for you a poem
Five geese deploy mysteriously
For the second time in a year this lady with the white hands is brought
From the time of the early radishes
Galoots, you hairy, hankering
Gather the stars if you wish it so
Give me your anathema
Grieg being dead we may speak of him and his art
Hats, where do you belong?
Have I broken the smaller tabernacles, O Lord
Hokusais portrait of himself
Hot gold runs a winding stream on the inside of a green bowl
How much do you love me, a million bushels
I am a hoodlum, you are a hoodlum
I am put high over all others in the city today
I asked the Mayor of Gary about the 12-hour day and the 7-day week
I dont know how he came
If I should pass the tomb of Jonah
If the oriole calls like last year
If we were such and so, the same as these
If you never came with a pigeon rainbow purple
I have ransacked the encyclopedias
I have lived in many half-worlds myself and so I know you
I have been in Pennsylvania
I have seen this city in the day and the sun
I knew a real man once, says Agatha in the splendor of a shagbark hickory tree
I love him, I love him, ran the patter of her lips
In a Yiddish eating place on Rivington Street
In a jewelers shop I saw a man beating
In the moonlight under a shag-bark hickory tree
In the morning, a Sunday morning
In the night, when the sea-winds take the city in their arms
I painted on the roof of a skyscraper
I saw a famous man eating soup
I saw a telegram handed a two hundred pound man at a desk
I saw Man, the man-hunter
I shall cry God to give me a broken foot
I tell them where the wind comes from
It is something to face the sun and know you are free
I thought of offering you apothegms
I took away three pictures
Its a jazz affair, drum crashes and cornet razzes
I walked among the streets of an old city
I wander down on Clinton street south of Polk
I was a boy when I heard three red words
I will keep you and bring hands to hold you against a great hunger
I will read ashes for you, if you ask me
Joy weaving two violet petals for a coat lapel
Keep a red heart of memories
Let down your braids of hair, lady
Let it go on; let the love of this hour be poured out
Let us go out of the fog, John
Listen a while, the moon is a lovely woman, a lonely woman
Long ago I learned how to sleep
Many things I might have said today
Many ways to spell good night
Mary has a thingamajig clamped on her ears
Money is nothing now, even if I had it
My people are gray
My shirt is a token and symbol
Neither rose leaves gathered in a jar
New neighbors came to the corner house at Congress and Green streets
Nothing else in this songonly your face
One by one lights of a skyscraper fling their checkering cross work on the velvet gown of night
One man killed another
On Forty First Street
Out of the testimony of such reluctant lips
Pea pods cling to stems
Pietro has twenty red and blue balloons on a string
Play it across the table
Poland, France, Judea ran in her veins
Policeman in front of a bank 3
Red barns and red heifers spot the green
Red gold of pools
Rings of iron gray smoke
Roses and gold
Seven days all fog, all mist, and the turbines pounding through high seas
Shake back your hair, O red-headed girl
Six street ends come together here
Sleep is a maker of makers
Smoke of the fields in spring is one
Snow took us away from the smoke valleys into white mountains
Snub nose, the guts of twenty mules are in your cylinders and transmission
Somebody loses whenever somebody wins
Somebodys little girl
Somewhere you and I remember we came
Speak, sir, and be wise
Strong rocks hold up the riksdag bridge
The balloons hang on wires in the Marigold Gardens
The boy Alexander understands his father to be a famous lawyer
The bridge says: Come across, try me; see how good I am
The buffaloes are gone
The dancing girls here after a long night of it
The down drop of the blackbird
The dome of the capitol looks to the Potomac river
The double moon, one on the high back drop of the west
Then came, Oscar, the time of the guns
The fine cloth of your love might be a fabric of Egypt
The five oclock prairie sunset is a strong man going to sleep after a long day in a cornfield
The flutter of blue pigeons wings
The grave of Alexander Hamilton is in Trinity yard at the end of Wall Street
The grip of the ice is gone now
The haggard woman with a hacking cough and a deathless love whispers of white flowers
The high horses of the sea broke their white riders
The horses name was Remorse
The knees
The lady in red, she in the chile con carne red
The law says you and I belong to each other, George
The lawyers, Bob, know too much
Ten miles of flat land along the sea
The milk drops on your chin, Helga
The peace of great doors be for you
There is something terrible
There is a woman on Michigan Boulevard keeps a parrot and goldfish and two white mice
There is a blue star, Janet
Theres a hole in the bottom of the sea
There was a woman tore off a red velvet gown
There was a late autumn cricket
There was a wild pigeon came often to Hinkleys timber
There will be a rusty gun on the wall, sweetheart
The roses slanted crimson sobs
The river is gold under a sunset of Illinois
The sea at its worst drives a white foam up
These are the tawny days: your face comes back
The sea rocks have a green moss
The sea-wash never ends
The sins of Kalamazoo are neither scarlet nor crimson
The six month child
The shale and water thrown together so-so first of all
The sheets of night mist travel a long valley
The snow piles in dark places are gone
The sunset swept
The telescope picks off star dust
The time has gone by
The west window is a panel of marching onions
The wind stops, the wind begins
The wishes on this childs mouth
The woman named To-morrow
They all want to play Hamlet
They ask me to handle bronzes
They have painted and sung
They put up big wooden gods
They were calling certain styles of whiskers by the name of lilacs
This handful of grass, brown, says little
This Mohammedan colonel from the Caucasus yells with his voice and wigwags with his arms
Three tailors of Tooley Street wrote: We, the People
Three violins are trying their hearts
Throw roses on the sea where the dead went down
To have your face left overnight
To write one book in five years
Two fishes swimming in the sea
Wandering oversea dreamer
What can we say of the night
What cry of peach blossoms
What does the hangman think about
What was the name you called me
When the sea is everywhere
Who knows what I know
Why should I be wondering
Wishes left on your lips
Write your wishes
Yes, the Dead speak to us
You slut, he flung at her

Indianapolis, IN - Secretary of State Todd Rokita met with Central Indiana Prosecutors and Deputy Prosecutors in the second of nine planned roundtable discussions directed at coordinating efforts between the Secretary of State's Office and County Prosecutor's Offices when it comes to investigating and prosecuting violators of the Indiana Securities Act.
"I fully intend to do everything in my power to help them put these white-collar criminals behind bars," Rokita said. "Cooperation between the Securities Division of my office and county prosecutors at the local level will ensure better investigations and lead to more convictions of people who commit fraud. All of this is very good news for Hoosier investors and bad news for scam artists."
Boone County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Jeff Edens who attended the meeting said, "With the baby boomers soon tapping into their retirement funds, I'm afraid that securities fraud will become all too common. It's great to know that local prosecutors have the experience and know how of the Secretary of State's office to tap into when needed."
Indiana Securities Commissioner Jim Joven attended the meeting and made a presentation outlining specific duties of the Securities Division. Joven presented several examples of recent cases where the Indiana Securities Division aided county prosecutors in investigations of securities fraud that ultimately resulted in convictions. On Tuesday, June 17, prosecutors in Bartholomew County won a conviction in a securities fraud case that originated with an investigation by the Secretary of State's office. The violator was sentenced to three years in prison, five years probation and restitution of $5,500,000.
Although much of the meeting was directed at addressing opportunities to combat violations of the Indiana Securities Act, Secretary Rokita and the prosecutors also discussed coordination efforts for procedures aimed at addressing potential criminal actions surrounding the upcoming municipal elections in November.
"As the chief election office of the state, it's my duty to make sure that Indiana's elections are administered as fairly as possible. From time to time, people think they can cheat the system by stuffing the ballot box or committing some other election law violation. I want prosecutors to know that when election fraud occurs, they will have my support as they prosecute violators in their counties," Rokita said.
Attendees of the Roundtable included United States Attorney Susan Brooks, Johnson County Prosecutor Lance D. Hamner, Hendricks County Prosecutor Patricia Ann Baldwin, Clay County Prosecutor David Thomas, Boone County Deputy Prosecutor Jeff Edens and Hamilton County Deputy Prosecutor David Najjar.

If retaining talent is not high on your list of concerns in 2010, then it should be.
I have seen way too many executives and hiring managers think that with the down economy and high unemployment rate there's no need to worry about employee retention. This line of thinking will lead you down a slippery slope, especially as the economy begins to recover.

SN's five-part concussion series overview | Photo gallery: Faces of football's crisis
Ken Clarke shakes his head side to side, like he would as he walked off the field during training camp when he played in the NFL. Those were brutal sessions that left him with constant headaches. "I would think, 'Man, my brain feels like it's moving, like it's knocking into the side of my skull.' "
He popped Tylenol after practice and took codeine before games to dull the pain. Now 55 and living in Atlanta, he estimates he suffered "130 or 140" concussions during his 14 years as a defensive lineman for the Eagles, Seahawks and Vikings.
Like many former players, Clarke struggles with short-term memory issues and has come up with a unique way to keep himself mentally sharp: He studies languages. First it was Spanish, which he has down pretty well. He has moved on to Portuguese, and he has also dabbled in German. He found the mental aspect of football challenging and rewarding, and that's what he likes about becoming proficient in Spanish and Portuguese, too. He especially enjoys learning to think in those languages.
Clarke has a big smile and bright eyes. He comes across as honest and curious, bright and thoughtful, a man who is happy with his lot in life and enjoying retirement. On his good days, at least. He has bad ones, too: "I do have depression and thoughts of suicide sometimes."
Clarke worries about his mental health, and he's not alone.
If fear can be called a symptom, it's the most prevalent problem former players face due to concussions, a Sporting News survey of 125 former players found. Eighty-five of them (68 percent) said they are afraid they will degrade mentally—or that they have already started to.
That's a startling number, considering "only" 76 of them said they have at least one mental health symptom that could be related to concussions. Nineteen players who reported no symptoms still worry about their mental health going forward.
In written, telephone and face-to-face interviews, former players described their dread of disintegrating. They worry about the burden they will create for their families. They lament the things they will miss, the accomplishments left undone. They lived the prime of their lives in the white-hot spotlight and now fear being trapped in a dark tunnel, with no light at the end.
With seemingly endless reports about their contemporaries committing suicide, falling into dementia and being institutionalized, many former players can't help but ask themselves: Am I next? For many, the answer is a chilling yes.
"I'm going where they are," says Emmitt Smith, a Hall of Fame running back and the NFL's all-time leading rusher.
Smith, 43, says he doesn't have any symptoms—yet. "Knowing what has started to come out in terms of the evidence of guys having mental issues right now, it concerns me, especially when you've carried the football more than anybody in the National Football League and have more yardage than anybody in the National Football League," he says. "That means I probably got hit more than anyone in the National Football League, so why shouldn't I be concerned?"
Admitting fear is difficult for anyone, but particularly so for men who for their whole lives have been defined by their toughness and courage. The former players' willingness to admit and discuss their fear signals a marked shift in their attitudes toward head injuries. "If you asked me the same question 10 years ago, I would've said no," says John Bunting, who played 11 seasons at linebacker for the Eagles. "I think if you asked me five years ago, I'm not sure how I'd feel."
Now, though, Bunting is worried.
Charlie Getty, who played on the offensive line for the Chiefs and Packers for 10 years, has memory problems, but they're minimal compared to what many players have experienced. Now a professor in Missouri, Getty was friends with former Falcon Ray Easterling, who committed suicide in April. Getty thinks he'll break down physically before he breaks down mentally. But the possibility of a mental breakdown hangs over him. "It's terrifying," he says.
Of those who said they don't worry about their mental health, several said fearing the future runs counter to the teachings of their Christian faith. Others were philosophical. "I have learned that what you fear comes upon you," says Bryce Paup, who played linebacker in the NFL for 11 years on four teams. "As a man thinks so is he."
Many former players fear that it doesn't matter what they think, that their futures were decided years ago, on the football field.
Earl Edwards is one of them.
Hall of Famer Joe Perry was the most important man in Edwards' life. Only Edwards' grandmother played a bigger role in shaping Edwards into the man he is today. Perry helped bring Edwards from the CFL to the NFL, and the two formed a lasting bond that endured for decades. Perry was Edwards' mentor, the godfather to his sons and his golf partner for years in Arizona.
Edwards says Perry helped him overcome his prejudice against white people. "He taught me how to treat people and value friendships and all those kind of things," says Edwards, who played for the 49ers, Bills, Browns and Packers. "I was pretty locked up in my little world. I was a big guy wielding a big stick."
When Edwards got married in 1987—to a white woman from Canada—Perry, his best man, put his arm around him and said, "You've come a long way."
Ten years ago, Perry started to change. He forgot things. He got irritable. Dementia took over his mind and swallowed his vibrant personality. "I'd have parties. People would meet him. That's the first thing people would talk about, 'I really enjoyed meeting Mr. Perry over at your place.' He went from that, to almost like a recluse," Edwards says. "Like he was fighting a battle nobody else knew about."
Still, there were rare glimpses of the old Perry, like a babbling toddler who blurts out a real word, only instead of those words growing into sentences they stop coming. Edwards went to see his old friend in the facility in which he was living. It was March Madness time. "He didn't have a clue about the players, the names of the players, or that kind of stuff," Edwards says. "But he was saying, 'Oh, that kid can't play.' Stuff of that nature. 'In my day, I'd whip his butt.' That was a good day, that last bit of fire I saw in him."
Perry died not long after that. He was 84. Doctors believed his dementia was related to head injuries suffered in his NFL career. An autopsy revealed he had CTE—chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a type of brain damage common to people who suffered repeated head injuries. Boston University's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy has studied the brains of 19 former NFL players. Eighteen of them had CTE.
Edwards stood next to Perry's bed in the hospital as he lay there dying. Edwards followed his friend down a good path in life and knows he will follow him down a dark one in death. "I told my wife, 'Baby, that's me. That's me. What I see, you'll see, is what I'll be when I get his age.' "
Ominous signs are there for Edwards already. His short-term memory problems forced him to give up preaching when the stress of using a cheat sheet "about stuff I should know" became unbearable. His wife tells him his temper has gotten worse.
Edwards has a background in sports psychology but works as a substitute high school teacher. He wants to get a job as a mentor for college athletes but says his memory problems might make that impossible. "It was a while coming, losing grip, losing grip on things. There's only so many times you start to the kitchen and forget what you want before you understand you have a problem," he says.
Edwards watched as Perry lost his battle, and now he fears he is losing his. In a twist as cruel as it is sad, when that problem he fears so much comes, he will no longer even know what he lost.
In Atlanta, Ken Clarke wonders if his own battle is just beginning.
On the white desk in Clarke's bedroom is a decorative rock with a quote from Albert Einstein: "In the middle of difficult lies opportunity." The books in the room stand as evidence of that. Many of them are about the Spanish language. Some are about Portuguese. One is about natural disasters. There is also an audio version of The Count of Monte Cristo.
On Clarke's desk is a questionnaire similar to the one from Sporting News. He reads a question about whether he has experienced feelings of hopelessness and thoughts of suicide. He says, "maybe" aloud. But he had already checked the box next to the question.
He doesn't want to sound dark and mopey. He's not miserable. But when he's asked questions, he answers them honestly.
Clarke doesn't know what triggers his bouts of depression. Is it just normal melancholy that everybody goes through? Lack of sleep? The frustration of dealing with aches and pains from his football career? Too much stress? Post-concussion syndrome? All of those combined?
"I don't think I'm suicidal. I don't think I'm going to kill myself," he says. "I don't even own a weapon, so I'm not going to shoot myself. But I do see things happening to people who were close to me, teammates, and I pray things like that don't happen to me. I feel that you're vulnerable to those things because you used to do that job."
Clarke believes many former players are going through the same things he is. While no other players talked as frankly about suicide as Clarke did, it's a common topic when players talk with each other.
Clarke played with Andre Waters, who shot himself in 2006. "To see him do that, it makes me think—did something affect me that I don't know about?" he says.
For every other question Clarke has, he looks for the answer in the books that surround him. No book will answer that one.

By most accounts, World Youth Day in Australia and the corresponding Days in the Diocese program in Australia and New Zealand last month were successful. But the unexpected disappearance of several young pilgrims from Myanmar and India left their youth ministers upset and surprised.
The Asian church news agency UCA News published a commentary on the five youths who failed to return to Myanmar. The author expressed sadness over the selfishness of those who stayed in Australia illegally.
The NZ Catholic, a client of Catholic News Service in New Zealand, covered the missing Indian pilgrims who failed to leave New Zealand after the Days in the Diocese program. Several stayed to work as illegal migrants on farms.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
DuPont (DD - Free DuPont Stock Report) is a diversified chemicals manufacturer that serves a broad spectrum of industries from agriculture to electronics, with an emphasis on science and technology. For over two centuries, the company has been at the forefront of chemical innovation and discovery. Moreover, its enormous global footprint (one of the top 5 largest chemical companies in the world by both market capitalization and revenue with operations in more than 90 countries) makes it an economic bellwether and market mover. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the company is ranked atop Fortune Magazine's list of the "World's Most Admired Chemical Companies" (March, 2012). This review will take a closer look at some of the company's recent troubles, its more attractive attributes, and how the current climate may provide an opportunity to initiate or shore up a position in a solid investment vehicle, poised for firm gains over the long term.
Just a few days ago, DuPont's earnings shortfall, along with similarly disappointing results from a few other Dow components, contributed to a broader market skid that was indicative of the tough global economic conditions that have softened demand in many of its markets. Analyst Michael Napoli notes in his most recent supplementary report that "weakness may persist in the near term" and that "macroeconomic challenges in Europe, elevated unemployment on the domestic front, and a potential slowdown in emerging markets could all hurt results in the year ahead."
In fact, considering that sales in the recently ended September quarter came in at $7.4 billion, down from $9.2 billion a year ago, a look at the Quarterly Revenue Box reveals that this would be the first negative year-to-year revenue comparison in over 10 quarters. In addition, while the Quarterly Earnings Box indicates that the second half of the year tends to be seasonally weak profit-wise, the 36% year-over-year drop in third-quarter share net (to $0.44 a share) is the steepest decline the company has endured since the end of the last recession.
Taking these factors into account and scanning up to the Graph where the price chart lives, one can plot a period of steady gains from around the middle of 2009 until the back half of 2011, when the stock price then appeared to waver and began to head south. This could correlate with the 30% year-to-year decline in share net during the fourth quarter of last year. Stepping back into the present, DuPont's recent earnings miss helped to push the stock down to $44.71, its lowest quote since last December, only $1.65 shy of its 52-week low.
This leads us to our rationale for keeping a close eye on this equity. Despite the unfavorable results and the subsequent price dip, the Timeliness rank remains a 3 (Average), which suggests that investors can expect the price to be tethered to the broader market's mean in the year ahead. Although it is still too early to tell the extent to which the slowdown in performance will negatively impact the stock price, management has lowered its 2012 guidance. In all likelihood, these softer expectations have already been discounted by the market. Moreover, the company intends to implement substantial cost-savings initiatives, including operational improvements, labor cuts, and the late summer announcement of the sale of its performance coatings business to private-equity big, The Carlyle Group, for roughly $4.9 billion. These measures are in line with DuPont's streamlining efforts, which focus on identifying its most profitable assets, while maintaining a diversified portfolio. Indeed, the Analyst's Commentary supports this notion when Mr. Napoli stated that, "This move reflects the company's strategy of pursuing competitive advantages in high-margin businesses with strong growth potential." That said, we believe that management's scalpel, rather than an ax-wielding approach to cost restructuring, points to its confidence in the fortitude of DuPont's remaining operating segments and their respective growth potential.
Moreover, turning attention to the Statistical Array and the Annual Rates Box, assuming that Mr. Napoli's projections are close to the mark, it is worth noting that DuPont's sales, cash flow, and earnings growth rates, as well as return on shareholder's equity, are all expected to be strong over the 3- to 5-year horizon. Meanwhile, the rising dividend payout should appeal to the income-seeking investor. Furthermore, while the Capital Structure Box indicates that the company is moderately leveraged, the Financial Strength rating is an A++, the highest grade Value Line issues.
All told, we believe that investors should watch DD shares keenly over the next several weeks for an opportune entry point. Although the Projections Box suggests that the stock's total return potential is handsome over the long haul, the lackluster global economic environment may weigh on the share price in the near term.

You know that song you hear every New Year's Eve? The one about not forgetting old acquaintances. Did you ever wonder what that phrase is in the chorus? Is it:
- For old ang zine
- Far hold ang zyne
- For old aunt Gzyne
- Farheld ang zyne
- Farheld ang sign
- For old ang sign
- For old angsign
- Foothold and sign
- For all the aunts of mine
Actually, it's not any of these. On New Year's Eve, the most common song for most English-speaking people to sing is "Auld Lang Syne." Isn't it funny how it's possible to sing and hear a song so many times and have no idea what it means? And wouldn't it be funny if it meant "Big Pink Elephants"?
A good sub-question is, what language is it?
It turns out that "Auld Lang Syne" is an extremely old Scottish song that was first written down in the 1700s. Robert Burns is the person whose transcription got the most attention, so the song is associated with him.
According to this page, a good translation of the words "auld lang syne" is "times gone by." So (incorporating a couple of other translations) when we sing this song, we are saying, "We'll drink a cup of kindness yet for times gone by."

We just can't get enough of these funny leaf blower faces from artist Tadao Cern. Our favorite part is the fact that people were willing to have pictures of themselves looking so ridiculous taken and then share them with the world.

Tate Stevens Talks 'X Factor' Win - Exclusive Interview!
Tate Stevens pulled out a victory during the X Factor Season 2 Finale on Thursday (December 18), surprising some who thought 13-year-old Carly Rose Sonenclar was the clear front runner.
JustJared.com sat down with the 37-year-old country singer to chat about his big win, his holiday plans, and his upcoming debut album. Check it out:
Just Jared: Congrats! What a crazy night! How did you feel waking up this morning after your win?
Tate Stevens: I'm still really overwhelmed by the whole thing. I got a few hours of sleep, but it's just overwhelming. It's still very surreal.
JJ: It was basically you and Carly Rose battling for that No. 1 spot all season. How confident were you going into the finale?
TS: I was confident, and you want to be confident and stay confident, but then the realistic part of it sets in – what did America think? I was confident, but in the same brass, you just never know. I was very nervous, especially when they actually announced the winner. That long pause was ridiculous. I wanted to throw up (laughs).
Click inside to read the rest of the Tate Stevens interview…
JJ: We saw you get quite emotional a few times, especially seeing your hometown and your son talking about you. Was it hard to keep your composure?
TS: Definitely. You know, I'm an emotional guy. I wear my heart on my sleeve. That's just who I am. But it was definitely hard, especially when he started crying then I was like, "Oh man…"
JJ: How has your family been through this whole experience?
TS: They're doing great, they really are. They are excited, but they're overwhelmed as well. It's just crazy. Our lives changed last night. Now we just gotta try to settle in and get to work.
JJ: Other than winning, what was your favorite moment of the season?
TS: There's a lot. Honestly, my favorite moments were Wednesday nights when we got to perform. Simon had said some really kind words throughout the season and one of them was, "You're an honest, good man and you deserve what this can do for you. You deserve a chance." That was pretty awesome.
JJ: He called you the next Garth Brooks. What do you think about that?
TS: You know what, that's never going to happen (laughs), but if I'm a third as fortunate as him, that would be amazing.
JJ: You got to meet some pretty big names. Were you star-struck by anyone in particular?
TS: Nah, not really. They're just people and they just have awesome jobs, you know what I mean? That's how I looked at them. I will say Simon, L.A. Reid… those guys. Because they're powerful. They can move mountains. They make things happen. That's a little intimidating at first, but once you get to know them and once you get to see that they're just normal people, then things are different. It was awesome. It was awesome meeting Little Big Town, One Direction and all that stuff, but they're people.
JJ: It's no secret L.A. wasn't very happy about getting the over-25′s, but now you have him rocking a cowboy hat. How has your relationship grown over the course of the season?
TS: From the beginning, L.A. has been a great guy. He's a great man. I kind of got on him a little bit [about it] and he was like, "I just wanted to work with some girls." He had a group full of guys and one girl, and he just wanted to work with the young girls because that's what he does. He was like, "I wanted my shot at making a young girl something." But he said, "Once I realized what I had in my group, I was more than happy to have our group." And he got a win. He went out with a bang.
JJ: So what happens now? What are you most looking forward to now that you have a $5 million dollar recording contract?
TS: Basically, I'm flying home tonight and I'm going to spend the holidays with my kids and wife. On January 2, I'm in Nashville and we're starting on my record.
JJ: Who is someone you'd love to work with on your album?
TS: Honestly, there's a bunch of people who hopefully in the future I'll get to work with. You have the Martina McBride's and the Reba McEntire's, those people of the world. Even doing some cool collaborations with the Jason Aldean's and the Brad Paisley's and those kind of guys, it would be a lot of fun I think.
JJ: Anything you'd like to say to your fans?
TS: I don't know how you thank them enough, really. They changed my life and they changed my family's life.

We got another round of Cohen's great collabs and interviews! Read below.
Aye Jay emailed us awhile ago to let us know about a project he and his son have been working on that we'd like to tell you all about. It's pretty swell... His very young son, Cohen, (think he's like 6) does this water color paintings and then Jay sends them onto established/ talented artists to have them do something on top of it- a collab, if you will. The idea is to collect all of these great works of art for his son so that when he gets older... well, he's going to be pretty damn stoked to have such a great collection.
Aaron Horkey - Interview below
I keep a poster wish list in my sketchbook for groups I'd really like to work with - it kinda runs the gamut from heavy to country to hardcore and back. Here's my current top 9: Lungfish Tom Waits ISIS William Elliot Whitmore My Morning Jacket World Inferno Friendship Society Court and Spark A Silver Mt Zion Mountain Goats Rad thing is, I've been able to cross off a bunch of my favorites from the list - Andrew Bird, Racebannon, Boris, Converge, Hot Cross, etc.
I'll list my top 3 for today, since this is always being revamped and rearranged... Alive: Chris Ware, Walton Ford, Aaron Turner Deceased: Ernst Haeckel, Rand Holmes, Windsor McCay
I'm a working illustrator with a loyal fan base, fuck that "art star" bullshit... Seriously, I'm extremely lucky to be in the position I'm presently in - such a small percentage of artists are able to make a living plying their trade. And fewer still are able to pick and choose exactly the projects they make that living from. I'm living the dream I've had since middle school - I draw skateboard graphics, illustrate record covers and gig-posters, occasionally get to visit exotic locales on someone else's tab and receive boxes of free records, skateboards, and clothing on a fairly regular basis. I think it boils down to a combination of supportive parents, luck, complete lack of social skills, a dash of obsessive/compulsive tendency and the fact that I've spent almost every day since I was 4 years old with a pencil in my hand. Basically, you bust yer ass and success will come...
More often than not, I'll know exactly what the print is gonna look like as soon as I hear about it, which usually involves Wezz calling me and saying something like, "Sooooo, I know yer really busy but so-and-so wants a poster..." Usually I bite and knock out some rough sketches in case anyone needs to see something before we proceed, although I'm a big fan of springing the final, finished art on everybody and letting the chips fall where they may. Once the lines are inked, I'll do the extra text and separations for highlights, as well as any notes or color studies I may have, and drive it all down to my cousin Josh Generica for scanning and sending to Minnesota. If it's oversized, I need to bring it into Josh's roommate Tom's work and scan the pieces there. Once Wezz has the stuff, he assembles the layers and mocks-up a few color proofs, and sends it back here for me to look over and make sure all the holes are punched-out and everything lines up. Then screens are burned and printing begins at the BRLSQ studio. Once the posters are done they all get boxed-up and sent to the horrible, horrible so-cal where I sort, sign, number and stamp em before packing them up again and shipping em back to the Midwest...
More than you can possibly imagine. We didn't go home for the Holidays in '05 so I'm working on a six-month-plus leave of absence - the longest I've ever gone without setting foot on a gravel road or breathing fresh air. Hopefully we'll be able to get back before the whole festering thing slides into the sea, but if not I'm more than willing to take one for the team to see the shit go down... ...
Cody Hudson - Interview with Cody below
my friend cohen, there is very little difference between "rap stars" and pirates these days, so i would say you could call them all that if youd like (especially ones wearing eye patches). as far as a fire ghost, i don't remember drawing lil weezy in there but hes pretty close to that...
technically i'm from wisconsin, but i call chicago home. and i dont have a favorite lyric but i have favorite moments, one is him wearing a pink leather zorro / hamburgler mask, another is running into someone on maxwell street selling kells bobble heads for 5 bucks a piece (after he got maced and thrown off the tour with jay z)
tough to really call out as heroes but ill throw some names out there.....
dead: stuart davis, paul rand, charles and ray eames
alive: milton glaser, william eggleston, chris johanson.
i would say neither actually, also im on a new grooming schedule as my girl friend hates the beard so i shave from march - sept and blow it out from oct - feb, so i can balance it out.
my morning jacket - acoustica citsuoca tortoise & bonnie prince billy - the brave and the bold the rolling stones - let it bleed calexico & iron and wine - in the reins EP belle & sebastian - dear catastrophe waitress
i noticed that while watching the video the other day. i think they caught me on a big button day, when that was shot was around the elections so im rocking a "no war" button, a "not my president", and a "brainwash ington" one. i usually don't stock up like that.
i'm not really down with the button ups too much, but i did try and give up printed t shirts. it was just getting too crazy and over the top. one day i just gave up and sent a few bags of tees to the goodwill, and started buying the swap meet 3 for 5 white tees (black and gray are 2 for 5). makes my morning choices much easier....
Mel Kadel - Interview below
Alive: raymond pettibon, travis millard, michael sieben, swoon, dan witz,......and many many more.
Dead: kathe kollwitz, shel silverstein, margaret kilgallen
those ladies are just a way of showing struggle. they are all knotted and tied up, but are never fallen or defeated.
it's pretty insane. for the most part, we are working and living together in the same couple of rooms, around the clock. honestly.....it's a challenge for both of us at times, but we have a shit load of fun and give loads of support and feedback to each other.
Simpsons (Homer)
Cohen is right, you should steer clear of any animal made of drift wood, cruising fast on a wheel heel.
i tend to stay up very late. but, i swear that mornings are my most creative (before the everyday stuff starts to infiltrate). so, occasionally i try to flip the schedule and put myself to bed, so that i wake up for those rare productive hours.
cohen is extremely prolific, and has a really really cool dad.
