COLUMBIA -- For some, fire protection means putting out a blaze. For others, it also means transporting burn victims from a charred house.
That distinction is part of a 4-year-old question over who should be liable in a wreck between a minivan and an ambulance that left an Estill woman with a permanent disability.
On Oct. 30, the South Carolina Court of Appeals will hear Hampton County Emergency Medical Services' appeal for a reversal of Circuit Court Judge Perry Buckner's decision, which favored Maria and Martin Curiel.
At issue is whether Emergency Medical Technicians Jason Schroyer and his supervisor should be shielded from liability under the law that covers government workers who are providing fire protection. The EMTs were traveling to help a burn victim when their vehicle hit Maria Curiel's minivan.
In his 2011 decision, Buckner had stressed that on the day of the wreck, Nov. 22, 2008, Schroyer wasn't headed to the site in order to provide fire protection, nor was he representing a fire department. He was acting as an EMT Basic.
But attorneys for the Hampton County EMS say the law doesn't make such a fine distinction.
"It would be absurd to include only structures within the definition of fire protection services, to the exclusion of people who live in and about the structure," wrote the the lawyer for Hampton County EMS, arguing that it would be just as wrong for the law to cover "activities such as pouring water on a fire while, at the same time, excluding the rescue of those injured in that same blaze."
On a cloudy Saturday morning, Maria Curiel was driving on Highway 3, also known as Browning Gate Road, in Estill, when she slowed down to turn left into her driveway. Schroyer and his supervisor were behind Curiel traveling by ambulance to a house fire on Grant Hill Road to pick up a burn victim.
Schroyer, who said he was driving 45 mph in the 55-mph-zone, said he changed the tone of the siren and blew the horn, lights flashing, as he tried to maneuver around Curiel. During a deposition in 2010, Schroyer was 21 years old.
"I slowed up when I approached the vehicle. I made sure that I had clearance," he said, according to the EMS incident report. But as he tried to get past Curiel by driving around her on the left, she tried to make a left turn. The ambulance struck her, sending her vehicle fishtailing into a ditch.
Curiel suffered a permanent disability after injuries to her back, neck, abdomen, and other parts of her body.
The couple's attorney is calling for the trial court's decision to stand, arguing that what Schroyer and his supervisor were doing had nothing to do with giving fire protection, which is what the law protects.
"The EMTs may just as well have been dispatched to the scene of an automobile wreck, a
choking patron at a diner, a heart attack victim at home or an injured child at a school," said the Curiels' lawyer, in documents submitted to the Court of Appeals.
"The EMTs were not there to help fight the fire or to take measures to prevent the fire itself from spreading."

Endless Love
By Scott Spencer
- Author: Scott Spencer
- Publisher: Ecco
- Published: August 2010
- Format: Paperback
- Copyright: 1979
- Subject: FICTION / Romance / General
Product Description
The classic novel that has been translated into over twenty languages and has sold more than two million copies worldwide
One of the most celebrated novels of its time, Endless Love remains perhaps the most powerful book ever written about young love. Riveting, compulsively readable, and ferociously sexual, Endless Love tells the story of David Axelrod and his overwhelming love for Jade Butterfield.
David and Jade are consumed with each other: their rapport, their desire, their sexuality, take them further than they understand. And when Jade's father banishes David from the home, he fantasizes the forgiveness his rescue of the family will bring, and he sets a "perfectly safe" fire to their house. What unfolds is a nightmare, a dark world in which David's love is a crime and a disease, a world of anonymous phone calls, crazy letters, and new fears?and the inevitable and punishing pursuit of the one thing that remains most real to him: his endless love for Jade and her family.
Published in 1979 and hailed as "one of the best books of the year" by the New York Times, Endless Love is the novel that first established Scott Spencer as "the contemporary American master of the love story" (Publishers Weekly).

Kayser's baguettes "Monge"
These are the "famous" french baguettes from the Kayser bakery rue Monge in Paris.
I upped the hydration level, but didn't really calculate. The recipe here is the original and I don't know how it would work with american flour, so if anyone wants to try, keep an eye on the dough.
I also would leave them to rise a bit longer next time, but we were in a rush to go on a picnic (the fated one where I broke my pinky!) I thought the crumb should be a bit more open. They are really good, though. Obviously not sour because the sourdough doesn't have the time to react, but it sure gives great oven spring.
Baguettes "Monge"
500 g farine T65 (or maybe just white bread flour?)
100g liquide starter at it's peak
5g fresh yeast (or about 3/4 tsp fast acting package yeast I think)
10 g salt
270 ml water at 20°C
Mix the fresh yeast with water and leave 20 min to ferment.
Then make a regular dough using your method. Put the dough in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rest 20 min.
Take the dough out and divide it into three pieces. Form three equal size balls and leave them on the counter to rise, covered with a damp cloth, 40 min.
Form three baguettes with pointed ends, place them in a baguette banneton or on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Cover with a damp cloth and let rise 1 1/2 hrs.
Preheat oven to 220°C. Sprinkle flour on the baguettes and do the incisions. Do the water thing (coup de buée) and place your baguettes in the oven.
Leave them to back around 20-25 minutes.

Ignoring the Rumors on a Ramble up the California Coast
It's about 226 miles to Cambria, we've got a full tank of gas, a hot thermos of coffee, it's dark (and so late it's nearly early) and we're not wearing our sunglasses. Hit it.
We're heading up the coast to meet old college friends for a long weekend in Cambria and Paso Robles – oh yes, there will be wine! …and local micro breweries and gourmet food and live jazz and…yeah, it's that kind of place. Having finished my half of the driving duties up through Gaviota Pass I am free to blog about baseball for the rest of the ride so long as I keep my husband awake and entertained sharing news articles and your blogs.
The only problem? Ugh! After the news and rumors today I don't want to blog about baseball. Manny!?! Yes, I know the rumors have been linking his name with the Angels off and on all offseason but now they're starting to sound serious. I do not want Manny Ramirez on the Angels. I don't care if he does hit a ton every third season or so. I like baseball players, not drama queens. Let Manny be a diva…er…I mean Manny anywhere else. The thought of Manny in an Angels uniform is enough to make that optimism I was starting to feel dry up again for a while. If they really want to sign an aging DH with no real ability to play the outfield anymore, sign Vladdy please. Professional, clubhouse leader, not a diva bone in his body, swing at anything and hit it more often than anyone rationally should be able to Vladdy.
So enough thinking about baseball for one evening if the rumors only annoy me, right? Okay, then music it is. I just noticed that there is a profound lack of Journey on the radio stations in SLO county this evening. Now anywhere else in the country this would be business as usual. But this year, from the Northern most tip of Santa Barbara up through Paso Robles (and I would assume all the way up the coast to San Francisco) the amount of Journey on the radio stations increased exponentially with the Giants fortunes as the season progressed. The last time we were up here, during the playoffs, Don't Stop Believin', Lights and the like were like Law and Order reruns on basic cable – at any given moment, they were playing on at least one station. Not so tonight. This is almost eerie. Can it be they've finally tired of it? …Yeah, back to baseball and still annoyed thinking about the Manny rumors. This isn't working.
Let's try this again. This is an absolutely gorgeous drive, even late at night. Ocean, forest, orchards, vineyards, plenty of reminders that California is a huge state with far more farms and open spaces than city even still…though that is changing slowly but surely. The cities stretch just a little bit further every year. Driving up here late after work is great because then you don't eat up four hours of your day off getting to the vacation. The only drawback? Bring your own coffee because, seriously, trying to find decent coffee in Santa Maria or thereabouts after one in the morning is kind of like Mariano Rivera blowing a save. It's technically possible. You've heard of it happening before. It may even have happened once or twice while you were watching. But just how often does it happen really? Yeah, I have a one track mind this evening and this is a lost cause. Okay that's it. I'm putting this post away and thinking about friends and wine for the rest of the evening…er…morning.
And, of course, what song came on the radio right as I was about to put down the Blackberry? Yep, you guessed it. Uprising by Muse. Haunted I tell you. Well at least it isn't Don't Stop Believin' because even if Giants fans aren't tired of it, I am. 😉
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Pacers' West out with eye injury
Indianapolis, IN – Indiana Pacers forward David West will not play in Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Bobcats after injuring his left eye during the team's most recent outing.
West temporarily exited the Pacers' 89-84 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday after being scratched in his eye during the first quarter. Though he returned for the second half, the 10-year veteran managed just seven points on 2-of-11 shooting in 25 minutes while clearly bothered by the issue.
Tyler Hansbrough will draw the start for West, averaging 17.2 points and 7.6 rebounds on the season, against the Bobcats.

UND Engagement Center in Mountain, N.D., April 30 to celebrate community
Posted on 4/29/2011
MOUNTAIN, N.D. -- Community is one of the region's best assets, according to organizers of a forum to be held Saturday, April 30, in Mountain, N.D., and participants at the fourth annual "Community Connect" forum will be learning how celebrating community can leverage development in rural North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota.
The forum, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Center for Community Engagement at the University of North Dakota, in partnership with the community of Mountain. The Community Connect Project, begun in 2006, is a UND-community collaboration designed to link communities with each other and with university resources for community self-development.
The forum, to be held in Mountain's new multi-million dollar community center, will begin with a keynote address, "Community As an Economic Development Tool," by Mark Goodman, a UND graduate and director of the Center for Economic Advancement at the University of Arkansas, Little Rock. His appearance is sponsored by the UND Geography Department.
Four panel discussions will be held during the day, featuring the story of how the Mountain Community Center was accomplished, how to make the most of community volunteerism, how to leverage community celebrations as economic development opportunities, and how to promote community events to increase attendance. Exhibitors will be on hand to share resources as well as research and project results.
According to members of the planning committee, the forum's host site, Mountain, is a success story for how their Icelandic identity has led to a sense of community, a famous annual celebration, and a new community center. The Icelandic Community Association, the Red River Regional Council, and other area organizations and businesses are lending support to the event.
Members of the forum planning committee are Curtis Olafson (Mountain, District 10 N.D. Senator), Loretta Bernhoft (Mountain community member), Douglas Munski (UND, professor of geography), Matsimela Changa Diop (UND, Director of Multicultural Student Services), Leslie Geir (Mountain community member), Yuliya Kartoshkina (UND graduate student) , Rachel Manley (community volunteer), Marcia Mikulak (UND, associate professor of anthropology), Sylvia Moore (Mountain ,city auditor), Tim Moore (Mountain, mayor ), Laura Munski (Grand Forks, Executive Director of the Dakota Science Center), Karen Schiff (community member), Kurtis Shelton (RSVP+ Northwest N.D. coordinator), Liane Stout (Buffalo, N.D. community member), Corene Vaughn (Pembina County Commissioner), and Julius Wangler (Red River Regional Council Executive Director).
Full program information is available at www.communityengagement.und.edu.

Revision as of 17:58, 29 April 2009
Cryptographic technology helps provide security and privacy by allowing you to encrypt and sign electronic communications. Fedora includes the OpenSSH and GnuPG tools for cryptographic communications. LUKS has also been integrated with Fedora to provide hard disk encryption.
The Theory
OpenSSH and GnuPG use a common cryptographic theory to allow encryption and cryptographic signatures based upon public and private keys. In this theory, each person or organization has one or more private keys, and each private key has a corresponding public key. The private key is required to decrypt data and create signatures. The public key can be shared freely and is used to encrypt data and verify signatures. More information about how and why this works can be found on the OpenSSH and GnuPG websites.
OpenSSH is an SSH implementation included in Fedora. SSH (Secure SHell) allows encrypted and cryptographically authenticated connections between computers.
Installing OpenSSH
OpenSSH is usually included by default on Fedora installations. If you do not already have it installed, you can install the package using yum:
yum install openssh
Creating SSH Keys
Once SSH is installed, you can use
ssh-keygen to create your private and public keys:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
You will be prompted for a location (pressing Enter uses the default), and a passphrase. Choose a good passphrase that you won't forget.
For usage instructions for
ssh-keygen, run
man ssh-keygen to view the manual.
By default, your new private and public keys will be stored in
~/.ssh/id_rsa and
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, respectively.
You can share your public key openly. Server administrators can use it to grant you access to their systems. You should carefully protect your private key and not share it with anyone.
Additional information is available at:
The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG) is a generic cryptographic tool. GPG is often used to sign email messages, and the Fedora Project uses it to sign packages.
Installing GnuPG
GnuPG is included in Fedora. It can be installed using yum:
yum install gnupg
Creating GPG Keys
GPG key creation is more complex than SSH key creation, and many people prefer to use a graphical interface such as
kgpg on KDE or
seahorse on GNOME.
kgpg is available in the
kdeutils package.
seahorse is in the Fedora repository.
See CreatingKeys from the Fedora Documentation Project for detailed command line instructions.

"It's always important to win home games. It's always a team goal." said GCHS head coach Brook Shumway.
According to Shumway, the Red Devils took the lead early on in the first half of the contest and held on to it throughout the game.
"When we started, we jumped out on them six or eight to nothing. The [points] lead went up and down, but we kept it." said Shumway.
At halftime, the Red Devils tightened up their defense to maintain and increase their lead over Altamont. Ultimately, the Red Devils managed to build up a 20-point lead over the Longhorns by the end of the contest.
Grand's starting varsity team included seniors Adam Jenkinson, Kaden Risenhoover, Koi Cook, Hunter Stitzer and Trevor Bertuzzi.
Risenhoover and Jenkinson were the top scorers for Grand, adding 24 and 22 points, respectively, to the Red Devils' total. The game against the Longhorns was a varsity contest only, with the junior varsity and freshman boys cheering on their team from the sidelines. Shumway said the Red Devil team was inspired by the fans who attended the game.
"At home games, your fans are there. You've got the crowd, and the kids want to play well," Shumway said.
The Red Devils were scheduled to play the Monticello Buckaroos on Tuesday, Dec. 17 in Monticello. The basketball squad is also preparing for its home game against the Green River Pirates on Thursday, Dec. 19.
The Red Devils will then begin their winter moratorium, and 2014 games are scheduled to resume on Friday, Jan. 3.

Following his thrilling New York appearance in the first installment of SongLives, curated by Grammy-winner Susan McKeown, Dublin singer songwriter Declan O'Rourke will return to New York for an eight-show residency at the Irish Arts Center from 20 - 28 April 2013.
O'Rourke will perform favorites from his catalogue and third studio album Mag Pai Zai as well as preview songs from his forthcoming concept album about Ireland's Great Famine. All 8 performances will be accompanied by a lush string quartet, which will include his Irish cellist Eimar O'Grady and German violinist Christian Hertzberger.
The Dublin man's first album, Since Kyabram, went double-platinum and was released in 2004 to both critical and commercial success. His 2007 follow-up, Big Bad Beautiful World, surpassed its predecessor by debuting at #4 on the Irish charts with his latest release, Mag Pai Zai, showcasing the best of O'Rourke's talents to date.
Declan O'Rourke's soulful voice and poignant lyrics make for an artist who is well loved and respected by his fans and fellow artists worldwide. His songs have been recorded by multi-platinum selling artist Josh Groban, Scottish singer Eddi Reader, British jazz singer Jacqui Dankworth, Brian Kennedy, The Celtic Tenors and Swedish pop sensation Peter Jöback.
The sensational Paul Weller was full of praise for the Irish singer songwriter in a 2012 interview with MOJO magazine which featured a compilation album of Weller's favorite songs and Declan's 'Sarah (Last Night in a Dream)'. "[O'Rourke] writes the sort of classic songs that people don't write anymore... 'Galileo' is possibly the greatest song written in the last thirty years," he said.
After sold out performances around Ireland and at SongLives, O'Rourke is ready to storm New York in style.
The IAC have said that it is an honor to host such a great Irish artist and are now selling tickets online at the Irish Arts Center website:
Tickets start at $24 and performance times and dates are below:
Saturday, April 20 8pm (Opening night & after-party)
Sunday, April 21 8pm
Tuesday, April 23 8pm
Wednesday, April 24 7pm (early show), 10pm (late show)
Friday, April 26 8pm
Saturday, April 27 8pm
Sunday, April 28 8pm
Watch Declan O'Rourke's 'Galileo':


text: UK Supreme Court rules: UK Government needs UK Parliament's approval before triggering Brexit negotiations with the EU Share this 25 JAN 2017 By: Kjetil Haare Johansen On 24 January 2017, the UK Supreme Court held that the UK Government needs the UK Parliament's approval before a notice under Article 50 of the Treaty on the EU, notifying of the UK's intention to withdraw from the EU and commencing the negotiation process for that withdrawal, may be provided to the European Council. The Court also ruled that the UK Parliament (sitting in Westminster, London) does not need to consult or seek the consent of the devolved legislatures in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales to trigger the UK's withdrawal from the EU under Article 50. The UK Government had argued before the Supreme Court that it had the authority to issue an Article 50 notice without any statutory approval from the UK Parliament. That argument was based on the royal prerogative powers, which continue to exist even today under the largely unwritten UK Constitution. Those powers include the power to declare wars, issue pardons and -- most importantly for this case -- the power to enter as well as withdraw from international treaties with other states. The Court rejected the UK Government's argument on the basis of two central reasons. First, a withdrawal from the EU would fundamentally alter the UK's constitutional design by removing from it one of the UK's current sources of law; that is, the EU's law-making institutions. The connection between those sources and the UK's legal system was established under a statute of the UK Parliament -- the European Communities Act 1972 -- and it follows that a statute is needed to remove that connection. Second, such a withdrawal would have the consequence of taking away domestic rights of UK residents, which rights have arisen pursuant to EU law -- and which rights were also given effect to in the UK under the 1972 statute of the UK Parliament. So, while the UK Government retains the prerogative power to enter and withdraw from international treaties, that power is limited: it does not extend to the removal of sources of UK law or the removal of existing rights of UK residents. Any attempts to exercise such a power by issuing an Article 50 notice without the UK Parliament's approval would have been unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is the court of highest instance in the UK, so no other judge or court in the UK can reverse this decision. Moreover, given that the arguments before the Supreme Court were limited to questions concerning UK's constitutional law and did not involve questions of EU law, no party to the proceedings can appeal to the European Court of Justice. So, the outcome of the Supreme Court's decision is final: the UK Parliament sitting in Westminster has the power to stop the UK Government from issuing an Article 50 notice, but there is no scope for the devolved legislatures to intervene in the triggering of Article 50. As regards what will happen next, that is less certain. In a statement released by the UK Prime Minister's Office shortly after the Supreme Court's judgment had been published, Theresa May emphasised that her intention remains to trigger Article 50 negotiations by the end of March 2017. In view of the Supreme Court's decision, that intention may result in the UK Government setting out its plan for withdrawing from the EU -- and possibly the UK's alternative arrangements with the EU following any final withdrawal from it -- in a lot more detail in the coming weeks than until now, before a vote on an Article 50 notice takes place in the Westminster Parliament. It may also mean that if the May Government's plans are thwarted by the UK Parliament with the effect that no Article 50 notice is issued by the end of March 2017, an early election in the UK may be called this year to give the electorate a chance to vote on the type of deal with the EU that the people of Britain want.

The Dress of the Ring:)
Added Jul 28, 2013
Mykolayv, Ukraine
Right at this moment this dress is my favourite (probaly because I finished it in the morning:-)). I really had several sources of inspiration that gathered together in this dress:)
Well, let's start with the fabric – it's jersey with which I don't work often but the projects on this site made by many wonderful crafters encouraged me a lot not to be a coward. Besides, as for the print, in the shop my friend and a shop assistant surely had doubts as for my choice ( I'm glad I didn't follow anybody's advice:)). And this year first time in my life I wanted to buy and to wear a ring, of course, it required a special dress:)) Thus all these reasons together broght this dress to life:)
The dress is from Burda 5/2008, #104.
Some piece of advice: the draped part with a buckle is quite a heavy detail so when trying the dress on, decrease the width of it from the top to the waist (on the last picture), in this way it fits better. I also lengthened both the body and the shoulder line otherwise the dress would be disbalanced – the skirt part would be too cumbersome. And I decreased the cut-out for 3 cm to wear this outfit to work.

This highlights your small waist, super flattering! The fabric has a gorgeous print and I 'm very glad you didn't follow the advices:) This pattern is one of my favorites, too bad for me that I don't have the issue (but I think is easy to draft the band, or at least I hope so!). And this dress is one of my favorites of yours, I bet you will have a lot of fun wearing it:)

Thank you, thank you, thank you:)) I put it on for making pictures and was wearing up to lunch, only took it off before meal not ot use a bib:) It's really very comfortable. There is a top in the issue made by the same pattern but with an assymetrical band and I was thinking of making it mostly; but as soon as I saw the fabric, forgot about the top at once and wanted only dress:)

I'm 28 and played tennis at a bad Div. 1 college program back in the day so USTA gave me a 5.5 rating but I think at my peak I was a 5.0, which I've petitioned USTA to officially rank me down at. I haven't played much recently (it's actually been over a year since my last league ended) and would think I'm closer to around a 4.0 now. If I played with some regularity, which I'd like to do, I think it would get up to around a 4.5 again.
I prefer doing groundstrokes or hitting games to full sets but I'm up for whatever. Impartial to M/F, age, just want to get back to playing. I live and work not far from the airport so I'm pretty central to a lot of places, used to play at Kiwanis and Tempe High School a lot. Let me know if you're interested!

Hi Megan, I think I'm at 4-4.5 level even though I never joined USTA. I'm usually hitting at Encanto Park on 15th and Thomas road in the evenings. If you're interested in practicing sometime, just drop me an email [email removed - please see profile].---David

Plant Identification: CLOSED: 2 plants-1 is probably a privet, but then what is the other?, 2 by LindsayD

Subject: CLOSED: 2 plants-1 is probably a privet, but then what is the other?
Forum: Plant Identification

Hi guys!
We have shrubs (bushes) in the front of our house that I had previously identified as Chinese privet (photo 1 & LOWER RIGHT of photo 3), but now I'm not sure. We keep them trimmed for the most part, so I never even knew that they would flower until this past year; then we lopped off the flowers. The one in the photo had been trimmed down to a 1-foot tall stem/trunk only, and bushed back out this fluffy (you're seeing it about 2.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide in that photo).
In the back of our house, we have shrub-trees (photos 2, 4 and 5 plus TOP LEFT of photo 3). When I did a google image search for their clusters of purple berries, the only things I found that were even similar were ALSO listed as privet... but these are NOT the same thing as the bushes in our front yard.
Front yard: 1-3" long leathery leaves grow across from each other, all the way up every branch, even branches that have other branches coming from them. Glossy, bright medium green, pointed oval shape just slightly larger at the stem end. Very smooth, veins don't make any texture on the front and just barely show through on the back. The edges of the leaves tend to be thick/hard and curl under ever so slightly. When the flowers appeared, they looked like white lilac flowers (came out looking like little fists and opened into little four-petal crosses). The stems have white freckles/bumps on new growth. When the plants are trimmed, they grow in very bushy.
Back yard: Leathery, semi-gloss, medium-to-dark green oval leaves have visible vein grooves on front AND back (ie, it's an indent on the front AND an indent on the back.) They are mainly about 2-3" but can be as large as 4" long and have a pinch-point end. They grow in clusters, not opposite one another, and there are some branches that don't have leaves growing on them. The new growth on the stems has white freckle spots. They flower in the spring/summer (sadly I can't remember what shape/color), and those turn into matte, dark purple grape-like clusters of baby-pea-sized berries. They have that dusty-looking coating like blueberries have. This plant has grown 30 feet tall. The stems/trunks range from 3" to about 8" in diameter when it grows tall (multiple trunks can fuse into a larger size than that, but I'm talking about single "stems" that grew into a trunk.) Drastically trimming these plants results in having new long "sucker" stems (seen in photo 2 growing near the ground, and also see bottom center of photo 5, bushier versions growing from a cut branch wound that is about 4' above the ground).
Off topic:
The reason I'm asking is because we want to get rid of the ones in the back. No matter how much we cut it back, it will regrow - there have been years that we cut one or more of the trunks down to 2-4 feet and no branches at all, and within a single year they shoot back up to match their neighbors. We can't afford to have someone come grind the stumps, so I'm hoping I can ID it and figure out the best way to kill it after chopping it down.

About EV / EBITDA
EV/EBITDA is the enterprise value of a company divided by its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. (EV/EBITDA)
EV/EBITDA answers the question "What is a company being valued per each dollar of EBITDA?" A high (low) EV/EBITDA mean the company is potentially overvalued (undervalued).
EV/Financial Metrics are often used by analysts to quickly look at a company's valuation multiples. All things being equal, the lower this ratio is, the better.
Other similar metrics include :
EV/Revenues: How much is each dollar of revenues worth to investors?
EV/EBIT : Or each dollar of EBIT?
EV/Free Cash Flow : Or each dollar of FCF?

Borussia Dortmund attacker Marco Reus has hailed Barcelona star Lionel Messi for putting in quality performances on a regular basis.
The Bundesliga champions slipped 12 points behind Bayern Munich this season, and the former Gladbach man says his side must emulate the Argentine's consistency.
"Messi is a good example," the 23-year-old told Kicker. "He has had great games and scores in La Liga on a regular basis.
"We have to do the same, however, we weren't able to do that every week. We aren't machines and therefore, we do make mistakes.
"We do know that we didn't have the best first half of the season. But complaining and pondering would not be appropriate in this situation."
Dortmund face Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League round of the 16, and while Reus is wary of the threat the Ukrainians pose, he believes the opponents would have preferred to draw another team instead.
"It goes down to -20 degrees occasionally there, doesn't it? Of course they're a difficult opponent. On the other hand, they probably wished for any team but Dortmund for their next fixture.
"We have earned a lot of respect [in Europe]."
BVB get back to Bundesliga action with a trip to Werder Bremen on Saturday.

how's this for an idea. with so many new folks doing the stp every year how about placing a sign at the bottom of the hill. " prepare to down shift" i know it is obvious to those of us who have done the ride many times but a lot of folks out of the area think a hill is a traffic calming device. how often have you seen someone jumping off their bikes in panic a hundred feet into the hill. maybe with a little for warning they would actually try another of those 27 speeds they have on their bikes. maybe half way between the town and the hill there might be a sign saying,"prepare to use your granny gear". to get their attention there could be a sign," real cyclists know when to shift".
Jim, I'll pass your
Jim, I'll pass your suggestion of a downshift sign to the event producers. The Puyallup hill is pointed out in all the maps as a big climb on the STP, but it can't hurt to let people know.
Cascade Bicycle Club
Its a class HC hill - Holy Cow!
Hill warnings
The hill that I think could use a "warning" is the one early in the route, when we take a sharp right turn away from Lake Washington and head into a residential neighborhood. The climb isn't terribly long, but the slope gets pretty steep pretty fast. Still catches me by surprise. If I recall correctly, there are usually volunteers at the bottom, making sure people know they need to turn. Might be a good idea to have them shout something like "Downshift!" or "Hill!" along with "Right Turn!"
first hill
you are right and that's the one that a whole bunch jump off their bikes while blocking those that are still attempting to pedal up the hill. one year with a good tail wind just prior to this hill i blew right past the turn. i think we know with a little more hill training neither of these hills becomes an obstacle. oh, and for those who are knew to this ride, in your training for the ride speed bumps don't count as hill training.
Puyallup is the correct spelling.
leo, sounds like you have your surley face on today.

Price leads No. 19 Washington past Illini, 34-24
CHICAGO (AP) — Keith Price wasn't quite ready to celebrate, nor were his teammates.
Even though No. 19 Washington came away with a rare road win to remain unbeaten, this was hardly a perfect game.
Price threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns, Bishop Sankey ran for a career-high 208 yards and the Huskies held off Illinois 34-24 at Soldier Field on Saturday.
Josh Shirley added three sacks, and the Huskies came out on top after dropping seven of nine away from home. They hadn't won on the road outside the Pac-12 since beating Syracuse in 2007, but as good as all that sounds, they were hardly content.
"We had a chance to finish them off," Price said. "We didn't do it. We let them crawl back in the game late."
Washington (2-0) collected 615 yards in this one after racking up 592 and keeping high-powered Boise State without a touchdown in a 38-6 rout two weeks ago. But the Huskies had to hang on down the stretch.
They saw a 21-point lead in the third quarter dwindle to seven in the fourth, before sending Illinois (2-1) to its sixth straight loss against ranked opponents.
"In every department there should be improvement," Shirley said. "The sky's the limit for this team. We just have to go back to the drawing board on Monday and fix the corrections next week."
The Illini cut it to 31-24 on Aaron Bailey's 10-yard run with 9:10 remaining, but Washington's Travis Coons kicked a 32-yard field goal to make it a 10-point game with 4:44 left. Gregory Ducre then picked off a deep pass by Nathan Scheelhaase, sealing the win.
"I thought we had a chance to maybe put them away and they fought back, and it was a good job by our guys closing the ballgame out late," coach Steve Sarkisian said. "It's a great win for us, to come on the road halfway across the country and get a good non-conference win."
Price completed 28 of 35 passes without an interception. Kevin Smith caught five passes for 104 yards. Jesse Callier had a 39-yard touchdown run, and Sankey carried 35 times in this one after running for 161 yards in the opener. He scored a 31-yard touchdown on a screen in the first half and on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter, capping a 75-yard drive in which Washington did not attempt a pass.
The defense sacked Scheelhaase four times with Shirley leading the way, and the Huskies won despite committing 12 penalties for 104 yards.
Illinois couldn't keep the momentum going after blowing out Cincinnati last weekend.
"We gave up over 600 yards of offense," coach Tim Beckman said. "Their running game, I don't think we really stopped it either. We faced a very good quarterback, a senior quarterback. We have to get better if we're going to be contenders, no question."
With Hall of Famer and Chicago native Dick Butkus watching his alma mater play in the stadium where he starred for the Bears, the Illini couldn't get much going. Scheelhaase, off to his best start in four years as the No. 1 quarterback, was just 9 of 25 with 156 yards. He did connect on a 72-yard touchdown to Ryan Lankford right when the Huskies looked like they were ready to pull away, but that was the lone bright spot for him.
"I thought I could have pressed the tempo a little more," Scheelhaase said. "I could have done a better job of that. As a quarterback any time you walk off the field without a win, I definitely want to go back and you feel you're unsatisfied."
The long touchdown came on the first play from scrimmage after Jaydon Mickens scored on a 9-yard pass, slipping past two defenders and diving into the end zone to boost Washington's lead to 31-10. Instead of a blowout, Scheelhaase then hit Lankford for that TD, and things got real interesting after a trick play by Illinois in the fourth.
Bailey took the snap and faked a handoff before pitching to Miles Osei, who then hit Matt LaCosse for a 35-yard pass. That led to a 10-yard touchdown run by Bailey, cutting it to 31-24 with 9:10 remaining only to have Coons kick an insurance score for the Huskies a few minutes later.
"We had laser focus," Shirley said. "Sometimes, in the past, we let our guard down at the end. This time, we came together as a team and finished."

Joey Rovero's quest for pills ended at Pacifica Pharmacy.
It was the same for Naythan Kenney,
Matt Stavron and Joseph Gomez.
All four were patients of a Rowland Heights
physician who was a prolific prescriber of narcotic painkillers and other addictive drugs. To get their fix, they needed more than a piece of paper.
They needed a pharmacist willing to dispense the drugs, and at Pacifica they found one.
All four died of drug overdoses after filling prescriptions at the tiny pharmacy in Huntington Beach, court and coroners' records show.

Under new guidelines presented Tuesday, police officers assigned to Wake County schools would undergo specialized training, receive direction on handling investigations and making arrests on campuses, and have to file a report whenever bringing charges against a student.
The new agreement, a memorandum of understanding developed by the school system and local law enforcement agencies, lays out far more detailed rules for the way the school resource officers would operate through June 2017. The agreement comes as the school system and local law enforcement agencies are facing a federal complaint alleging that minority students are being arrested for minor incidents that could have been handled by schools.
"This is a very progressive document," school board member Keith Sutton said at a board meeting Tuesday. "Kudos to all of you that were involved, because this is a big difference from the last."
The three-year agreement drew a mixed response from several community activists who spoke at the board meeting. They said it's an improvement over the current agreement but still gives too much discretion to the school resource officers.

"We feel like the principals should have the first say-so," said Selina Garcia, who graduated last week from Southeast Raleigh High School. "The principal should step in first before the SROs and before action is taken, charges are pressed and people are incarcerated.
"That's just what we feel would be beneficial, and I know it would have been more beneficial for me."
Garcia received media coverage after she was arrested in March by the school's resource officer for fighting another student on a school bus. She spent three weeks in jail because the foster care system couldn't find a place for Garcia, who was 17.
The board is scheduled to adopt the agreement June 17.
Multiple roles for officers
The school system contracts with law enforcement agencies to provide an armed officer at every high school and most middle schools. These police, called SROs, perform tasks from providing security to teaching classes and counseling students.
The current five-page agreement expires June 30. The new document has 15 pages.
The agreement lays out minimum training requirements for officers, including taking courses on working with students with disabilities and special needs, on cultural competency and on nondiscriminatory administration of school discipline.
The agreement says that law enforcement agencies will report quarterly to the school system on how many students – by race, gender and school – are referred by the school resource officer to the adult criminal justice system and juvenile petitions.
Officers can initiate law enforcement actions to address criminal matters when necessary to ensure the immediate safety of persons on school campuses. But the agreement says any such actions, including use of force, must be "reasonable."
One speaker during a comment period, Bryan Perlmutter of Raleigh, told the board that the agreement should require the officers to get a referral from a school employee to intervene.
"The SROs still have too much control in the schools," he said.
Concerning investigations and arrests, the agreement sets out the procedure for situations when police want to question a student on campus: The school resource officer is to notify the school, which in turn will notify a parent or guardian. If the parent or guardian isn't present for questioning, the principal must sit in on the questioning unless ordered to leave by the officer.
Rules limit searches
Since school officials have a lower legal standard than police in conducting searches, the SRO is not allowed to ask a school employee to conduct a search of a student for law enforcement purposes.
If the investigation doesn't involve a school matter, school resource officers aren't supposed to question or arrest students on campus unless they have a warrant or a need to prevent injury or crime.
On school discipline matters, the agreement says that the school administration and not the officer has primary responsibility for maintaining order in the school environment and for investigating and responding to school disciplinary matters.
The agreement says the SRO should refer student discipline matters to the principal and not independently investigate or administer consequences for violating discipline rules.
Federal complaint
In January, several local and national groups filed a federal complaint charging that the school system and local law enforcement agencies "unnecessarily and unlawfully punish and criminalize minor misbehaviors" of students from minority groups.
"There has been a lot of listening from the community, and that feedback has been incorporated into this document," school board member Jim Martin said. "A lot of the concerns that we heard tonight, as we roll this out, we're going to see a different kind of engagement, and I appreciate that."
But amid the complaints Tuesday, parent Vickie Adamson told the board how glad she was that there was a sheriff's deputy at Ligon Middle School in Raleigh when it was put on lockdown in January. The action followed a report that a gunman had been seen near the campus.
"I'm glad the SROs are going to stay in the schools," she said. "It's a good thing."

|Docket No: RM05-22-000
Chairman Joseph T. Kelliher's statement on Oil Pipeline Index
"The Commission was charged by statute with establishing a "simplified and generally applicable" ratemaking methodology for oil pipelines, consistent with the just and reasonable standard of the Interstate Commerce Act.
"The Commission issued Order No. 561 to implement that statutory authority. Under Order No. 561, the Commission relies on an index methodology to regulate oil pipeline rate changes, along with other alternative rate changing methodologies.
"After extensive analysis, in Order No. 561 the Commission adopted an index methodology developed by Dr. Alfred Kahn that came closest to tracking historic changes in actual oil pipeline costs. The Commission committed to review the index every five years.
"The time has come for the Commission to set a new five year index. Under the order we approve today, the new five year index is the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI) plus 1.3 percent, or PPI + 1.3. This new index is consistent with the statutory standard and is consistent with the court-approved methodology in Order No. 561.
"We need to be careful in this area. A few years ago, the Commission set an index in a manner that deviated from court-approved methodology and was reversed.
"The Commission began this proceeding last July with a Notice of Inquiry that proposed to use an unadjusted PPI for the next five year period, which begins July 1, 2006. In the record developed under the Notice of Inquiry, shippers acknowledged that some upward adjustment of PPI is required to accurately track oil pipeline cost changes.
"Based on the record, the Commission determined that PPI + 1.3 percent is an appropriate index for the next five years.
"One of our policy goals of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 was strengthening our energy infrastructure. Experience with recent hurricanes demonstrates the importance of a strong infrastructure.
"Today's order establishes an oil pipeline index which will support the maintenance and expansion of the nation's oil pipeline infrastructure.
"I support the order."

The Donut Pub: A New Fad at an Old New York Institution
BY: Amy L. Hayden | Aug 5, 2014
It's just past 9 p.m. on a Thursday, long after most of Manhattan's trendier donut shops have closed for the night. But The Donut Pub will be open all night long, neon sign a-blazing—just as it has been every evening since 1964. Inside the shop on 14th Street in Chelsea, "Magic Mike" stands behind the back counter with his magician's supplies spread out before him, ready to perform tricks and illusions for the steady stream of customers who will come through the door. He's been a regular at the Pub for 38 years—"Can't you tell I love donuts?" he asked, pointing to his belly—and after he retired from the New York City Fire Department, he took up magic, bringing his act to his favorite neighborhood hangout. (He also performs private shows and sells magic supplies at the Pub and elsewhere.)
But Magic Mike is only one of many regulars at the 24/7 shop. There are also the dozens of businessmen who appear every morning with their copies of the Wall Street Journal and New York Times to order the Sip & Dip special (coffee and a donut for $2.90) to accompany the day's news. Operations manager and baker Gus Markatos started working at the Pub while in high school in the 1990s and has held his current role since 2002. He's a regular sight behind the counter every morning and not an unusual one in the evenings, either. Most anyone who visits the Pub on the regular knows Gus, and the feeling is mutual—though "there are so many regulars [he] can't even count," he knows them all by sight and many by name. Gus isn't the only familiar face behind the counter. There's also Buzzy Geduld, the retired Wall Street multimillionaire who founded and still owns The Donut Pub. Patty, who works from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. every weekend, has been at the Pub since it opened and has the stories to prove it. (More than a few late-late-late-night revelers come in asking for a beer with their donuts, not realizing that the "pub" name isn't quite literal, she said.) Sammy, who works various afternoon and evening shifts during the week, has been at the Pub since 1980. Other counter staffers come and go regularly with the seasons. Though the Pub and its clientele seem unchanged through the decades, its neighborhood is not. Just a few blocks uptown, a much-changed Chelsea Hotel now houses the Doughnut Plant, a decidedly froufrou spot whose signature crème brûlée donuts cost upwards of $3 each. You'd think that with all this gentrification, The Donut Pub would have seen some hard financial times. But according to Gus, it's been the exact opposite. "We've put two Dunkin' Donuts out of business," he said. "One on 14th Street a few blocks down and another around the corner." And he doesn't think that "artisanal" donut shops have anything on the Pub, either, no matter how trendy their flavors or presentation may be. "We are better than the competition: always fresh, and they are made with love."
There's lots of love to go around here. The Village Voice named the Pub's chocolate cake donut among the city's best. CBS NY7 did the same for its honey dip donut, whereas both Gothamist and Tasting Table ranked its jelly-filled donut among the best. (My personal favorites are the boston creme and the sugar-raised, but I'd take any of them before walking out empty-handed.) Gus isn't stingy with the love on the baking side of things, either. It's not unusual to see him coming out of the back room with a rack of freshly baked croissants that he happily shares with regulars, sometimes on the house. (Yes, The Donut Pub has a full line of pastries, including muffins, cookies, biscuits, bagels, and bialys.) He has even developed his own version of the crazy-popular cronut, which some daresay is better than the one you-know-who makes (and people wait on line for hours for). Gus's black-and-white cookie is among the best in the city—I can vouch personally for its ability to single-handedly soothe even the worst sort of New York heartbreak. That includes at least one romance that both began and ended at The Donut Pub, with Gus and company as witness. To their professional credit, they didn't take sides, and the cookie was on the house. But the best part about working at The Donut Pub? Sammy and Gus agree: it's the donuts. "I eat a donut every day," Gus said. But as he stands there framed by racks and racks of tempting sweets, it's hard to believe he stops at just one. No one else I know is able to. The Donut Pub is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, and is located at 203 W. 14th St., just west of 7th Avenue. Photos by Amy L. Hayden.

It's important to tailor fresh content to users' interests. The role of using content to boost an affiliate site's profitability can't be underestimated.
Hopefully these 10 suggestions will help engage yourusers and guide them toward making more transactions on your website.
1. Know Your Customers
You won't be able to make your content useful without first being aware of who your customers are and what kind of things they look for online. Is your site aimed at families or couples? Are they looking for leisure or business information? Why do they visit your site?
Knowing exactly how they operate and what topics really grab their attention will enable you to take a creative and tailored approach to content, which will ultimately pay off. Once you have an established customer base you can also run quick online surveys to help you learn more about them and their views on your site.
2. Make Content Useful
Google's Panda search algorithm means that those sites which produce original, useful content rank more highly than "thin" sites, where content is either lacking in substance or duplicated from another source. It can be all too easy to get carried away when producing content for a site, but if it isn't interesting or helpful then your potential customers won't get anything out of it.
Your content must have a specific use for the customer and it should be geared toward an action. For example, in the travel industry, that means creating collateral that helps your customer make a booking, but depending on what products or services you offer, this purpose will vary.
3. Include a Call to Action
Once your audience is engaged with the content, make sure it helps users make a decision on what to buy or promotes an action. So, for instance, if your customer base consists primarily of families traveling for leisure purposes and you want to write about New York City, write about hotels that are family friendly, activities that are good for all ages and ensure the suggestions link to the booking options available from your site.
Quality content isn't just for increasing traffic and links. It's also great for increasing conversion.
4. Be Seen as an Authority
If you treat your site as a way to showcase your knowledge on a particular niche then you could become known within a community as an expert in that field. This approach gives credibility to your site, ultimately leading to better content, more engaged users, and ensuring customers feel reassured when making a purchase on your site. Not to mention it is great for branding purposes.
5. Keep it Focused and Structured
The visual appearance of the web page is key to generating sales from content. Use clear SEO-friendly headings, images, and videos to keep the user's attention. Walls of text are very off-putting, so make sure these are broken down into bullet points.
6. Plan Ahead
There may well be key events, conferences, themed days and other occasions which could be good hooks for persuading users to look at your content and buy from your site. If you have the time to plan for these rather than rushing through content creation the day before, you can add interesting visuals, videos, or infographics which could help your site to go viral when the event hits. A content calendar is a useful tool for making sure you hit these key events with all the ammunition that will help you get noticed.
7. Encourage Interaction
As well as producing your own compelling information, collateral from your customers is key to converting sales. Make sure you have a visible opportunity for customers to write reviews or offer comment on your articles.
Send an email reminding customers to write a review after they've received your product. Encourage them to take photos and upload them as well.
You can also boost visibility of interesting discussions/reviews through engaging in social media channels. Shares and links from these channels will promote more visits and better rankings.
8. Think Visually
A picture speaks a thousand words. Don't underestimate the impact that photographs, illustrations, infographics and videos can have on your bottom line.
A great example of video content that swept the web is the video on the homepage of dollarshaveclub.com, which has been shared thousands of times on Twitter, Facebook, and other social channels within just one month. Not every company has the resources to build videos like that, but it does show how engaging, unique, and bold ideas can lead to big results.
9. Take Advantage of Analytics
If you already have a site up and running, the analytics will show you which pages are receiving the most organic traffic. If you're generating lots of organic traffic to an article, this is a good indicator that you've got the right content for your audience. Think about what factors are on those pages which are making them most successful and apply this when working on further content.
10. Don't Forget the Power of Keywords
The more quality content you have the more keywords you can rank for. Dedicating landing pages for certain topics such as cities, neighborhoods, hotels, etc., gives you a chance to rank for related keywords.
Once you've mastered the art of revenue-generating content creation, you'll be in a strong position to rise above your competitors, who may still be working from thin content sites, and see your traffic from organic sources and revenue increase.

Old-time earache remedy
Earaches are part of my earliest memories.
There are two things I remember vividly about them. One thing is the unpleasant sensation of ear-drops trickling through the inside of my ear and down into the depths of my head.
My other memory about earaches is the hot salt packs my mother fixed for me. I could lay my head on their good warmth and feel the pain of my ear melt away.
The hot packs were simply homemade cotton bags, about the size of a potholder, filled with salt. My mother warmed them carefully in the oven, and they held heat for quite a while. The warm salt had a distinctive odor that only warm salt has. I would still know it if I smelled it.
I think the heat was naturally moist. Salt loves to soak up moisture, you know.
Apparently we didn't have an electric heat pad. It was the mid-1950s -- maybe heat pads hadn't even been invented yet, or maybe they were too expensive for country folks like us.
Hot salt packs were an old-time earache remedy that my mother probably remembered from her own ear problems as a child. An 1868 book of advice for mothers suggests this very treatment for earache: "Apply to the ear a small flannel bag, filled with hot salt—as hot as can be comfortably borne..."

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ltycer from Very Cute! Very cute dress!! Looks great with platform YSL pumps! Only thing that is kind of weird is that the bodice underneath is white... which you can see from time to time and it is a sharp contrast to the dress. The first thing my husband said when he saw me in it was "wow! you look great but are you suppose to see the white thing?" Overall though I would recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by PrincessDeb from Stunning Beautiful dress. Fits fabulous and really comfortable. The outer layer is a bit sheer so you can see your figure through it. The under layer is a comfy stretch lycra dress. I love it! If you like to show your legs, this is the dress because it is short, but not too short.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jen007 from Sloppy & Frumpy The dress looks great on the model but unfortunately it wasn't as great for me! The dress underneath the leopard was a bright white and seemed a little on the cheap side. I felt like I had a leopard sheet over a tight dress. Just wasn't flattering on me at all. For reference I'm 5'6" 125lbs....Cute dress just not for me.

Rated 4 out of 5 by delphgirl from I like the dress but not sure about the beaded neckline The dress is a wonderful piece. I like the ombre giraffe print and the beading is a nice touch. I am just unsure about the sizing. The beaded neckline along the back of the dress hangs loose on me and everywhere else the dress is fine so I am wondering if that is how the dress is supposed to be. Beyond that, it is a unique piece to have in my wardrobe. I am originally ordered a M (i'm 5'9" and 145lbs) so I also ordered a S to see if the S provides a better fit. I am hoping one of those fit well as I do want to keep the dress. Would love to wear it for a girls night out.

Rated 1 out of 5 by latdottie from very disappointed I love bebe and have never been as disappointed as I was when this dress got delivered. It looks so beautiful in the picture but the 'underdress' is bright white and shows very obviously every time you move your arm. It is definitely not up to the standard I am used to from bebe.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Merwin from Beautiful Dress-Runs big I usually wear a large in dresses, I'm 5'6-140 pounds, 36DD, and the large in this style was huge. I ordered online so I was unable to try any other sizes, but I'm almost positive I would have needed a small. Gorgeous dress though and I would have loved to have it! Beautiful head work around the neck-just runs big.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kitten from Good I bought this dress for a charleston wedding, and it was a hit. Lots of compliments. The dress itself is a true fit. I highly recommend it, however found it a bit hard to dance in. The drapped arm piece really should have been to the left arm and not the right, as I am right handed. I kept getting caught in the drap when my husband twirled me around the dance floor. Overall a great buy. I will be wearing it again and again.
