Two electronic bingo machines were seized Friday at Center Stage in Rainbow City and a Gadsden woman was arrested on misdemeanor charges, according to Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin.
Two electronic bingo machines were seized Friday at Center Stage in Rainbow City and a Gadsden woman was arrested on misdemeanor charges, according to Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin.
Sheriff's office investigators seized the machines from Center Stage, at 1 p.m., according to a news release from the sheriff's office. Undercover law enforcement officers twice went into the facility to verify the playing of the gambling devices.
Michelle Regina Garbe, 51, was charged with one count of promoting gambling and one count of possession of a gambling device.
Entrekin said he believes, but could not say for certain, the machines seized were the same ones that CBS Supply, which hopes to bring electronic bingo to Etowah County, had tested by Gaming Laboratories International to see if they met state and local requirements for bingo.
Entrekin earlier this week turned down a request from CBS for an electronic bingo license, saying he did not think the machines played traditional bingo.
CBS Supply, the developer of a proposed $200 million bingo development in the county, had submitted a report from GLI. It said the SilverLine Systems machines, manufactured by Select Electronic Devices Inc., passed the standards governing legal bingo in Etowah County. Those standards include a six-point requirement set by the Alabama Supreme Court as to what constitutes legal bingo in the state.
CBS Supply in a press release said Entrekin's own expert said the machines comply with the law, and the sheriff "has a duty to permit CBS's games and allow it to develop this huge economic development project for Etowah County."
Entrekin said a license for paper bingo was issued Thursday to 13th Place at Center Stage. He said he was told a sign was displayed at Center Stage saying proceeds would go to 13th Place.
He said Garbe asked for an attorney when she was interviewed by investigators and would not answer questions.
Garbe was booked into the Etowah County Detention Center and later released on $2,000 bond.
Garbe in a telephone interview would not confirm that she worked for CBS.
Her attorney, Roy McCord Jr., in a telephone interview said that he and his daughter, Catherine McCord Bailey, have been retained to defend Garbe in criminal proceedings.
McCord said he did not know if Garbe works for CBS. He said she was in possession of the machines when the sheriff's department did the undercover sting.
He said the machines "probably" were owned by CBS, but he could not say that with certainty.
"I never asked that question," McCord said. "These machines were the machines that were tested by the folks in New Jersey and were certified."
McCord said if this goes to trial, he would attempt to show that the machines are legal. He said the machines operate the same as paper bingo machines and meet the Alabama Supreme Court's standards for legal bingo.
Entrekin said officers first went to Center Stage Thursday evening after receiving information that the machines were being played, then went back Friday.
"As a 30-year law enforcement officer in Etowah County, we've always arrested and prosecuted anyone who brings illegal electronic gambling machines in the county," Entrekin said. "We have worked hard, along with other law enforcement agencies, to enforce Alabama laws that state electronic gambling devices are illegal. And until those laws are changed, we will continue to do so."

The Town of Niagara Town Board is expected to vote on its 2013 budget at the 7 p.m. regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 13.
"We're still working on it. One more budget meeting (currently scheduled for Monday) and we should be all right," Deputy Supervisor Marc Carpenter said.
If the board should need another review meeting, Tuesday's final vote could be delayed, but final budget approval is due to the state by Nov. 20, he said.
The budget currently stands at $7,287,887, with $2,092,936 to be raised from taxes.
"If the Town Board makes a serious attempt to right-size the town workforce, it will guarantee financial stability in the years moving forward," said Supervisor Steve Richards after Monday's public hearing on the budget.
Other than the board, the only person present at the hearing was the Tribune editor.
Currently, the budget includes a tax increase of 3.5 percent for homeowners ($4.98 to $5.15 per $1,000 assessed value) and a 3.1 percent increase for the business/non-homestead rate ($8.77 to $9.04 per $1,000).
Richards said he expects the town's share of sales tax to decline despite the fact that Fashion Outlets is in the town, due to loss of population (about 500 residents, according to the latest census). The county bases sales tax distribution on population, not where the sales tax is collected.
No raises for elected officials or non-union employees are included. The CSEA contract has yet to be settled. No layoffs are in the current budget proposal.
•In Wheatfield where a tax decrease is expected for 2013, there have been no proposals to change the $12,053 million preliminary budget as yet, according to Supervisor Bob Cliffe, but there may be some changes resulting from the public hearing that was set for Wednesday evening (after the Tribune went to press).
If there were no suggested changes from the hearing the board wants to discuss, the budget could have won approval on Wednesday. Otherwise, a second opportunity for the board to vote on the budget will come next Thursday, Nov. 15.
"The preliminary budget is posted on our website along with Ed's summaries (Ed Mongold, budget director). I have not had a single call or question," Cliffe said.
The percentage decrease in the total tax levy for the preliminary 2013 budget is 7.5 percent, in large part due to an increase in the town's share of sales tax.
According to Mongold, on a typical home valued at $125,000, the taxes would be down 7.38 percent to $521.34 in 2013, compared to $562.89 in 2012.

The story of the mythical Santiago Bernabeu Stadium leads inevitably to the history of its regal owners, Real Madrid, an institution which in 2000 was recognised by FIFA as the Club of the Century. Enduring greats such as Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas, Emilio Butragueno, Ronaldo, Raul and Zinedine Zidane have all graced the Bernabeu's sacred turf in the famous all-white strip.
The stadium has also hosted many memorable international matches, most notably the 1982 FIFA World Cup ™ final and when La Furia Roja lifted their first major international trophy - at the European Championships in 1964.
Built on what at the time were the outskirts of the Spanish capital, the stadium now stands in the heart of Madrid's bustling financial district. The massive undertaking marked the beginning of an era of colossal sporting constructions across the globe. Many at the time thought that its capacity for 120,000 spectators was madness, but the property developers' gamble soon paid off.
Trophy for the Spanish cabinet
Around 100,000 fans packed the Bernabeu on 21 June to witness the final of Euro 1964 when Spain snatched a victory rife with political overtones from the Soviet Union. It was a win that Spain's fascist leader Generalissimo Franco was quick to spin a propaganda vehicle for his regime.
The dictator had withdrawn Spain from the first UEFA European Championship because of political differences with their quarter-final rivals - again the USSR - but he did appear for the showdown that afternoon. The hosts took an early lead thanks to a goal from Pereda in six minutes, but Khusainov levelled for the visitors with a superb free-kick just two minutes later. With the clock ticking down to the final whistle, and after a superb cross in from the right by Pereda, Marcelino headed home past the suddenly helpless 'Black Spider' Lev Yashin. Spain had won their first major international trophy with the majestic Bernabeu as the backdrop.
Coming of age
The stadium underwent major remodelling and refurbishment work when Spain was chosen to host the 1982 FIFA World Cup - with the final to be hosted there. Its capacity was reduced to 90,000 and the ground was kitted out with the latest technology in the form of video scoreboards.
With the stadium filled to the rafters, Italy won their third FIFA World Cup crown at the expense of West Germany. Marco Tardelli was to earn himself a place in football lore for his wild celebration of Italy's second goal, putting the Azzurri into a lead which was to prove beyond the Germans. The joy on his face and his frantic race to the dugout to celebrate with his coach and team-mates live on in the collective memory.
Poacher supreme Paolo Rossi also got on the scoresheet for the Italians, picking up not only a winner's medal but the title of the tournament's top scorer. Another Italian legend, goalkeeper Dino Zoff, crowned a glittering career when, at the ripe old age of 40, he received the FIFA World Cup trophy from King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
White Coliseum
Santiago Bernabeu not only dreamt of a great stadium, he also envisaged a great team. The Real Madrid, which he created around the Blond Arrow Di Stefano, were eager to prove that they were worthy of their impressive home. And that is just what they did. Between 1956 and 1960, they won the first five editions of the European Cup and repeated the feat again in 1966.
The final of this famous competition has been held at the Bernabeu on three occasions. In 1957, Real Madrid overcame Fiorentina 2-0. In 1969, an unshakeable AC Milan brought Johan Cruyff's spectacular Ajax Amsterdam to their knees (4-1). And in 1980, Nottingham Forest retained their European Champions' crown by beating Hamburg (1-0).
As far as domestic competitions are concerned, as well as hosting the perennial Real Madrid-Barcelona superclasico, the Bernabeu has been home to more Copa del Rey finals than any other stadium. One never-to-be-forgotten encounter was the 2002 final, popularly known as the Centenariazo. On 6 March, which happened to be the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Madrid club, northern rivals Deportivo de la Coruna were bent on spoiling the party, which they memorably did thanks to strikes from Sergio and Diego Tristan.
Five-star stadium
In 1992, four imposing towers were added to facilitate access to and from the stands. The cover over the east stand and the remodelling of this part of the ground, which now house the director's box and the press area, meant that in 2005 the stadium attained 'five-star' status in accordance with UEFA standards. Also under consideration is a project to cover the entire Bernabeu with a transparent retractable roof.

One Million in Wisconsin Want Recall
Wisconsin residents delivered petitions for the recall of Gov. Scott Walker to the Government Accountability Board in Madison, Wisc., in January. Recall advocates needed 540,000 signatures; they turned in petitions signed by more than a million voters—showing the people of Wisconsin haven't forgotten what led to the "Wisconsin Uprising" a year ago, in February 2011.
Soon after taking office, Walker began enacting an unexpected and sweeping austerity agenda influenced by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the Koch brothers. When he introduced anti-labor legislation that would severely limit the collective bargaining rights of public employees, protesters flooded the state capitol building in a mass protest occupation to put workers' rights back on the agenda. "Wisconsin," as the protest came to be known, united ordinary Americans in the fight for accountability and fairness, and invigorated supporters across the country. When the bill was finally passed, protesters carried resistance to the next stage: the electoral recall process.
Grassroots groups created a coalition, United Wisconsin, expressly for the purpose of recalling Walker. They initiated the recall petitions and recruited 30,000 volunteers who gathered signatures throughout the dark of winter—from mid- November to mid-January—in streets and shopping malls.
Book Review: We Are Wisconsin
The uprising in the words of the activists, writers, and everyday Wisconsinites who made it happen.
The volunteers also netted 845,000 signatures on petitions to recall Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, and more than they needed to begin recall elections for four Republican state senators, including Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a key figure in implementing the anti-labor legislation.
Elections will be scheduled once the Government Accountability Board verifies the petitions. Walker and his allies will then have to campaign for their positions all over again—although they could lodge legal challenges that would delay the elections.
Democrats Kathleen Falk and Sen. Tim Cullen have already declared their intention to run against Walker. It may be a tough battle—only two other gubernatorial recall efforts have ever been successful, and Walker has already raised $4.5 million for his recall campaign. But last summer, two Democrats won senate recall elections in Wisconsin, encouraging for those who hope a decisive rejection of Walker's anti-labor agenda could have national repurcussions.
Jennifer Kaye and Lindsay Kucera contributed reporting to this piece.
What we can do right now to strengthen our democracy.
Wisconsin and beyond: While wealth and power concentrate in the hands of a few, the rights, jobs, and services that everyday Americans depend on are on the line. Across the country, people are rising up to defend them.
For more than a decade, a groundbreaking Clean Elections law has helped protect Maine politics from the influence of big money. But what's happening now that big spenders have free rein to influence elections—and what does it mean for the rest of the country?

Watch for that fire bill in your mailboxes
You may very soon get a bill from the State for fire protection. A bill was passed in July 2011 that establishes a new fee for anyone living in a State Responsibility Area (SRA). To see if you live in a SRA, visit www. firepreventionfee.org/ sraviewer.php.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association (the great people behind Prop
13) will be filing a lawsuit to overturn what they call a "tax" not a "fee."
This fee is $150 on each habitable structure, which is defined as a building that can be occupied for residential use.
Owners of habitable structures who are also within the boundaries of a local fire protection agency will receive a reduction
of $35 per habitable structure.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association has created a website that explains your rights and responsibilities regarding this fee. You can visit their website, www. firetaxprotest.org, for more information.
They have now clarified that "you must pay the fee when you receive the bill."Their position now is that you must pay the bill in order to avoid any penalties and interest. These penalties and interest build quickly so make sure you pay immediately.
If you pay your bill and the courts overturn the fee, can you get your money back? The court "may"order refunds.To qualify for a refund you must have paid your bill and filed a "Petition for Redetermination" with the responsible agencies.
The number of days for you to do this is very limited so pay close attention to the due date on your bill.
You must submit it within 30 days of the date of your bill to three addresses, not just the one that is on the form (how tricky is that?).
Please take a moment and learn more about this so you may be protected.
Hopefully the Howard Jarvis group will be successful in getting this unlawful "tax" overturned.
Tim Fesko, Coleville

As I sat at the lunch table in the tiny adobe home of an indigenous family on the Island of Amantaní on Lake Titicaca, I had an internal conversation with myself as to whether I should eat the purple potatoes sitting on the plate in front of me. Digestive issues are common for foreigners in Peru. and these potatoes still seemed to have dirt on them. Although the house where I would spend one night was technically a "certified hostel" for tourists visiting the lake, the thought of possibly digesting parasites or other bacteria that would make me sick was a difficult thought to face. I also took into consideration that this would be the only food I would have for a while and that I did not want to be disrespectful and not eat the food that the family had kindly prepared for me. In the end, I ate my meal and was fortunate enough not to get sick — my friends on the other hand, who were staying with a family up the hill, had a different fate….
Lake Titicaca was honestly one of the most gorgeous landscapes I've been lucky enough to experience not only in Peru, but in my life. To get to the lake, I took an 8-hour bus ride to the city of Puno, where I boarded a boat to spend one night and two days exploring the floating islands and the lake itself. The first island where we stopped was the floating island of Uros. There, I learned about the process of making a floating island and about the 5 indigenous families that inhabit the island today. Although extremely poor, the few families on this island seem to survive solely off of the profits they make from tourists. The Aymara heritage of these families dates back to the times of the Incas, if not earlier. The babies and the children on the island run around in stained garments and without shoes. Many also have sunburned cheeks from living so close to the sun at an altitude close to 13,000 feet, which is 2,000 feet above Cuzco.
After Uros, we boarded the boat to head to the Island of Amantaní (this was not a tiny floating island like Uros) where we would spend the night. Once we arrived at the island, my "host mom" for the night came to show us the way to her house. The island was a mountain, and all of the houses were built on the side of the mountain. Carrying our heavy backpacks and water, we followed our host mom up the mountain and then down across streams and up again until finally we arrived at the house. Not only had we hiked the mountain with our backpacks, the high altitude had added another challenge.
At the house, we were pleasantly surprised with our comfortable rooms, but there were still unexpected aspects to our adventure. The house had no running water, but this wasn't a huge problem for me because I was accustomed to brushing my teeth with bottled water in order to prevent getting ill from the water in Cuzco. However, considering that I'm 5'8½" tall, the greatest challenge for me was remembering to duck my head whenever I passed through a doorway. Generally, Peruvians are much shorter than I am and this fact became especially noticeable. Although I spent less than 24 hours in this house, I probably hit my head (hard!) about 5 times.
Aside from exploring and seeing the lake, one of the most meaningful parts of my experience was talking with the daughter of my host family. When she was preparing our meal, I went into the kitchen to ask if there was anything I could do to help. She appreciated my offer but told me that I could just have a seat. We started talking and I learned that she is 19 years old and has an 18-month-old son. She explained that she has four siblings, but they all went to Lima (the capital of Peru) to work. She had so many questions for me, from "What time is it in the US?" to "What are you studying at your university?" She had been on track to study at a nearby university, but the birth of her son prevented her from pursuing this goal.
My conversation with her provided such a great cultural exchange and opportunity for me to learn about the lives of an indigenous family through direct interaction. Our conversation ended when dinner was ready and she asked me to get my friends from our room for dinner. I sat down at the table thinking about what we had discussed, and again had another internal conversation about whether I should eat my second serving of potatoes for the day.

US Board of Geographic Names Honors Coast Survey Commemorating 200th Anniversary of NOAA Predecessor
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names has unanimously voted to name the area off the southwest coast of Alaska at 49N, 159 W, "the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Seamount Province" in recognition of the 200-year legacy of science and service that the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, which dates from a February 10, 1807 executive order by President Thomas Jefferson, has provided. The name is the first to recognize an agency.
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names is an interdepartmental federal agency whose purpose is to establish and maintain uniform usage of geographic names.
The U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, a predecessor agency of today's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the nation's first scientific agency, charted the nation's ports and waterways, researched physical characteristics of the ocean bottom, and explored many of the world's oceans. The organization was known for a tradition of perseverance, scientific integrity, engraving and charting skills bordering on art, and courage demanded of explorers charting the unknown.
"This year we are proud to be holding a year long celebration of 200 years of science, service, and stewardship to the nation with its roots in the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey," said Captain Steven R. Barnum, director of NOAA Office of Coast Survey, which continues to carry out the original agency's mission. "We are honored that the U.S. Board of Geographic Names has helped us to commemorate this distinguished occasion."
During the mid-1920s and 1930s, the Coast and Geodetic Survey conducted systematic surveys across the Gulf of Alaska and explored much of the northern Pacific Ocean, charting the waters and discovering numerous seamounts. The majority of seamounts and knolls in this region are named for nineteenth century Coast and Geodetic Survey personnel.
There are an estimated 30,000 seamounts, mountains rising from the ocean seafloor that do not reach the water's surface, which occur across the globe, with only a few having been studied. The first undersea island to be called a seamount, located off the coast of central California, was named for George Davidson, one of the great explorers and scientist of the U.S. Coast Survey. Seamounts are important as hotspots of marine life in the vast realms of the open ocean. As they tower over the surrounding seabed they tend to concentrate water currents creating their own localized tides, eddies and nutrient-rich upwellings.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

FACT SHEET & 2012 SESSION ACTION UPDATE: Capital Improvement Trust Fund (SB 1156 ADDED TO HIGHER ED CONFORMING BILL)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 8, 2012
Fact Sheet & 2012 Session Action Update
There is no sufficient source of revenue for the maintenance and construction of "student life facilities," such as student unions, cafeterias and recreational fields. By law, Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO) funds cannot be used to construct such student life facilities. Therefore, these facilities are funded from two student-paid fees deposited into the state's Capital Improvement Trust Fund. However, the relatively small amount collected through the building fee and capital improvement fee have been inadequate to meet the System's current student facilities needs – and students themselves (through the Florida Student Association) have approved and pursued the CITF bill as a way to address the quality of their student experience.
The Board of Governors supports this effort, and has in the past as well. The most promising action ever taken on this issue in the past decade occurred March 7, as detailed in the 2012 SESSION ACTION section below.
The Building Fee ($2.32 per student credit hour) and the Capital Improvement Fee ($2.44 per student credit hour) were established at their current levels in 1988 and have not changed, even though inflation and student enrollment have increased dramatically. In 1988 – 25 years ago – there were about 154,000 students System-wide, while that number has more than doubled, to more than 329,000 in 2011 (an increase of 175,000 total students). If the fees had increased only with the cost of inflation, the increase would have been about $8 in that time.
In order to quantify the need for student life facilities and after several years of attempting to work on the issue, the 2010 Legislature directed (in proviso within the 2010 General Appropriations Act*) that a survey be conducted to formally collect more details on the needs in the State University System. The survey conducted by the Board of Governors showed, at that time, total needs of more than $2 billion, and that the majority of the projects ($1.4 billion alone for financing of parking and housing) could funded from bonds that are paid for from student service fees – and would require no statutory or regulatory changes. The inventory and recommendations were coordinated with the close assistance of university vice presidents for student affairs, university facility planners, student government representatives and many others. The survey concluded that significant needs exist for new student life facilities, and the renovation or replacement of many existing facilities – parking and housing demands could be reasonably met by the existing financing framework and process if bonding processes continued. However, the demand for student facilities – such as student unions, recreational fields, wellness centers and cafeterias, all estimated at about $650 million at that time – never would be met within the existing financing framework and bonding availability.
Because of that fact, along with the demand for student life facilities by the students themselves, the Florida Student Association voted to ask the Legislature in the 2011 Session and the 2012 Session to allow the Board of Governors to approve requests for increases from university Boards of Trustees. The Board of Governors also included the issue in its legislative agendas for several years, including the 2012 Session.
For a full copy of the report, see: www.flbog.edu/pressroom/meeting_items.php?id=138&agenda=512.
(* - Proviso in the 2010 budget: "… the Board of Governors shall conduct a needs assessment survey of the State University System of student life facilities and develop recommendations to address unmet renovation or new facility needs identified by the survey. The recommendations shall specifically consider the impact of existing policies, statutory provisions, and regulations in meeting these needs and the unique challenges of smaller institutions or branch campuses.")
Senate Bill 1156 was added to the Higher Education budget conforming bill on March 7. Provisions of the bill follow. In 2011, the Board of Governors voted to approve recommending to the 2012 Legislature that universities can pursue $1 voluntary, optional increase. Section 1009.24, F.S., would be amended to provide financing for student life facilities, primarily through bonding mechanisms. If passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor, each university Board of Trustees would then, should they choose, voluntarily take up the matter for their respective universities and submit the traditional, comprehensive financing proposal package to the Board of Governors for any proposed bonded or building project. The language now in the 2012 Higher Ed conforming bill provides universities the flexibility to adopt increases to the CITF fee. Any increases are subject to the following:
•The fee increase must be recommended by a university committee, with half the members appointed by the student body president, half by the university president, and the committee chair jointly appointed.
• The building fee and university building fee – as explained earlier – are now merged into a single fee (the CITF fee).
• The fee can be increased by any amount no more than $2 per year, and must utilize the same university committee process as above to ensure an emphasis on extensive student participation.
• The fee can never exceed 10 percent of base tuition.

(Reuters) - GT Advanced Technologies Inc, a maker of solar and LED equipment, said it expects to report a loss for the fourth quarter as its customers struggle with limited access to new capital, sending its shares down as much as 17 percent.
GT Advanced forecast a loss of 5 cents to 10 cents per share for the quarter ended December 31, marking the company's first loss since 2008. Analysts had expected a profit of 14 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
GT Advanced's shares hit a low of $2.87 in early trading, their lowest in more than three years, valuing the company at about $400 million.
Asian banks are limiting their exposure to the solar and LED sectors and access to bank capital remains limited, Chief Executive Tom Gutierrez said on a conference call with analysts to discuss the company's outlook.
The limited liquidity and overcapacity in the solar industry will continue to affect customers, and GT Advanced's financial performance, through 2013 and potentially into 2014, he said.
The company, which gets about 95 percent of its revenue by supplying components to solar and LED customers in Asia, has already slashed its workforce by about 25 percent.
Apart from dealing with overcapacity, Chinese solar companies face U.S. import duties and the possibility of similar action in Europe, the biggest market for solar products.
Many have been able to keep operating largely due to generous handouts from the Chinese government.
"While there are plentiful examples of Chinese solar manufacturers being propped-up by local governments concerned about jobs, banks appear to be 'cutting the cord' on solar exposure," said Raymond James analyst Pavel Molchanov, who cut its rating on GT Advanced to "market perform" from "outperform".
Molchanov also noted that the financing issue had spilled into the sapphire market as well. GT Advanced systems make sapphire, the crystalline material used to produce LED chips.
"In 2013 we expect to operate as a smaller, leaner yet profitable enterprise," Gutierrez said.
GT Advanced expects current-quarter revenue of between $95 million and $102 million, below the average market estimate of $146.35 million.
It expects gross margins to be in a range of 34 percent to 36 percent in the quarter, after inventory-related charges of $80 million to $90 million.
The gross margin was 31.8 percent in the third quarter.
"Despite the downgrade, we still note that GT remains one of the healthier and better positioned names with leverage to solar manufacturing," analyst Molchanov said.
GT Advanced's shares were down 12 percent at $3.03 in mid-morning trading on the Nasdaq.

Logistics security services provider FreightWatch International has issued two new reports, one showing cargo theft fell in the United State from December 2012 through last February and another about a plan in Mexico to combat crime along its highways, including cargo thefts.
From December 2012 through February 2013, FreightWatch recorded a total of 199 thefts in the United States, with 77 thefts in December, 53 in January and 69 in February. The average loss value per incident during this period was $133,711. Compared with the previous three months thefts fell by 20% and average loss value dropped by 39%.
Food and drinks, with 49 thefts, was the product type most often stolen, accounting for one out of every four thefts. Products targeted include meats and seafood, juice and prepared foods. There were 25 electronics thefts, 13% of the total, mainly of TVs, cell phones and video game consoles. There were 20 thefts, or 10% of all thefts, in the metals category, including copper, steel and scrap metals.
During this three-month period, Florida experienced the most thefts, while California, the typical top spot holder, dropped to fourth place. The 34 incidents in Florida accounted for 17% of all incidents across the country. Texas had 30 thefts, or 15% of the total, while Georgia had 27 or 14%, making them the second and third most popular states, respectively, for cargo theft. California experienced 21 thefts, accounting for 11% of them overall. Michigan, which was identified in FreightWatch's 2012 U.S. Annual Report as a new cargo theft hot spot, experienced seven incidents, elevating it to 7th place from its typical rank of about 20th.
Unsecured parking, accounting for 61% of thefts, was the location cargo thieves targeted most often when a location was recorded. Facility was second in theft occurrences, with 9%.
Following usual trends, incidents involving theft of trailer, 132 in all, were most common, accounting for 66% of all thefts during the three-month period. Thefts involving deceptive pickup remained steady at 15, comprising 8% of all thefts.
Mexico Highway Crime
Meantime, a separate report from FreightWatch says Mexico's Comisión Nacional de Seguridad, or National Commission on Security, has a new initiative intended to decrease crime on the country's highways, including cargo crimes, called Cuadrantes Carreteros or Highway Quadrants.
It says the government's strategy is to divide the country into five regions and within those regions create 136 total quadrants. Each quadrant is to be staffed with federal police to deploy at any given moment.
The program is divided into three parts with federal police units dedicated to each. One part is mobile surveillance where officers will be actively patrolling Mexico's highways within their assigned quadrants. Their purpose is to prevent accidents and crime by deterrence and to provide assistance to those in need.
The second involves stationary surveillance in which officers will be stationed at strategic points along the highway offering assistance to those in need. They will provide directions and information to those traveling on Mexico's highway.
The third leg of this approach involved mixed surveillance where officers will be stationed at strategic points but will also be patrolling, as they are responsible for responding to criminal activity as well as traffic incidents.
FreightWatch says the goal is to also be able to identify the organization and structure of criminal organizations that operate on Mexico's highways. Authorities are hopeful that these activities will lead to decreasing crime rates along the country's highways. They are also planning on using information collected to better allocate resources to combating highway crimes.
This operation is currently in the testing phase but authorities are hopeful for a full rollout later this year.

Ellen Pompeo: No Junk Food for Stella!
|Mike Coppola/FilmMagic
As 7-month-old Stella Luna begins to nosh on more than milk, Ellen Pompeo is thrilled to purée nutritious foods for her daughter. In fact, the actress is already introducing healthy habits that she learned from her own grandmothers.
"She has two teeth now and she's already eating solid foods," Pompeo told PEOPLE Moms & Babies at the American Cancer Society's Choose You initiative luncheon in New York on Wednesday.
"I try to make food for her as much as I can and she eats a lot. She holds her own spoon now."
Living a healthy lifestyle is a top priority for Pompeo, 40, who launched the Choose You movement to encourage women to focus on themselves first in order to stay healthy and to prevent cancer.
"I have to say I've always been a little [bit] obsessed with working out and eating right. I've been on this track for a while which is why I was passionate about this campaign," she says. "I want to teach my daughter the importance of exercising and eating healthy as she grows up."
The Grey's Anatomy star was raised in an Italian household near Boston and says she learned to eat well from her grandmothers, who helped raise Pompeo after her mother passed away when she was four.
"We had gardens and we grew most of our own food," she says. "We had chickens and fresh eggs … I was never a person who was introduced to junk food. It was instilled in me from a very young age from my grandmothers and it was what they served in the house. I didn't know anything else."
Now that she's a mom, she's using the same no junk food policy for Stella — not even Cheerios. "I haven't given her Cheerios yet but if she does, she would have organic oats instead," she says with a laugh.
But for now, the actress is enjoying every minute with her daughter. "Being a mother is magical," she says. "I live a very blessed life and I could go on for days on how amazing my daughter is. She's so great. She's just starting to get a personality and she's definitely a charmer."
Sounds like she's charmed her father as well!
"He adores her," she says of her record producer husband Chris Ivery. "He's a very hands on dad. He loves to carry her on his shoulders everywhere we go. He has a ball with her and he's absolutely in love with his daughter."

Ben McLemore leads KU in scoring at 15.9 points per game, which tops all Big 12 freshmen and ranks third overall in the conference. Jeff Withey leads the Jayhawks in rebounding (8.5 rpg) and has 11 double-doubles this season. McGruder becomes third Wildcat to be selected as a Top 30 candidate for the Naismith Award, joining Michael Beasley (2008) and Jacob Pullen (2010). McGruder leads the 13th-ranked Wildcats in six categories, including scoring (14.8 ppg.), double-digit scoring games (21), 20-point games (8), field goals (155), rebounding (5.4 rpg.) and minutes (32.2 mpg.). Smart has propelled Oklahoma State up the standings by averaging 15.0 points and 5.7 rebounds. He leads the Cowboys with 113 assists this year.
The top 30 candidates were selected by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, which based its criteria on player performances to this point in the 2013 men's college basketball season. In late March, the Naismith Trophy voting academy will narrow down the list to four finalists. The Naismith Men's College Player of the Year presented by AT&T will be awarded on April 7, 2013 in Atlanta.
For the ninth consecutive year, fans will have the opportunity to text their votes for the player of their choice and help determine the 2013 Naismith Trophy winner. Voting will open to fans on Monday, March 25. Naismith Trophy presenting sponsor AT&T is making the voting open to other wireless carriers, enabling even more fans to participate.

Former Woodstock resident Sean Devine, along with his partner, Matt Morgan of Precarious Egg, a Portland, Oregon-based film production company, suspended a man by hooks through his skin from the bottom of a hot air balloon in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. on June 11.
The stunt was part of Precarious Egg's documentary, "Feet Off the Ground," an exploration of the human suspension community. Zane Whitmore, 34, of Seattle, was pierced two times across the shoulder blades and suspended beneath a tethered hot air ballon, which then was released to circle the skies above the Long Valley Caldera as Whitmore hung below. The balloon reached a maximum height of around 10,800 feet above sea level during the approximately 75 minute flight.
"This balloon suspension is really the culmination of several years of immersing ourselves in the body modification and suspension communities," Morgan said in a prepared statement. "We wanted to explore the motivations and humanity of this often maligned subculture, to bring their experiences to a wide audience."
Morgan and Devine expect primary shooting to wrap by the end of the summer, and plan to premiere Feet Off the Ground in 2012.

Matthew Mcconaughey lost out on a $35,000 lawsuit after he was named the most handsome guy in high school.
The Magic Mike star suffered from oily skin as a teenager and turned to mink oil to help treat the problem.
He tells late night host Jimmy Fallon, "Three years before I got this award for Most Handsome, I'm a teenager, I'm 15 years old. Oily skin, you got a few pimples and stuff. Well, my mom is peddling this stuff, the oil of mink..."
After using the mink oil for a few weeks, McConaughey developed acne and had to be placed on medication, prompting his parents to file a lawsuit for emotional distress, alleging he had a hard time dating because of his awful skin.
During the deposition years later, the lawyer pulled out a picture of the actor when he won the award.
He continues, "I knew right then we lost."
The case was subsequently dismissed.

When Neil Armstrong took his first small step on the moon's surface on July 20, 1969, it wasn't just a giant leap for mankind – it was a giant leap for GE Silicones. Armstrong took that step in moon boots featuring soles made from GE's advanced silicone rubber. And today, materials from GE Silicones – now named Momentive – are used on every manned U.S. space flight.
The road to innovation often begins with a simple question: "What if?" What if you could increase fuel economy? What if you could enhance safety? What if there was a better way to manufacture a tire? Momentive is prepared to explore all these questions – because we've asked them ourselves. And we've delivered the answers.
Momentive's innovative Ultra Clear Silopren* LSR 7000 series technology is inspiring LED lighting manufacturers to change their materials of choice to achieve better optical clarity and durability, streamline manufacturing and create more intricate designs.
The ideal contact lens should deliver high levels of comfort, lubricity, oxygen permeability, clarity and durability at a competitive price. That's why Momentive is working with leading industry specialists to develop advanced silicone materials that are facilitating the creation of the next generation of silicone hydrogel contact lenses. And we're continuing our research and testing to further refine material properties so we can help manufacturers produce lenses with even better performance.

In the past 18 months Tahera Ahmad attended a Ramadan dinner with Barack Obama (H06) at the White House, visited four cities in Afghanistan and worked with Secretary of State John Kerry on the State Department's Office of Faith-Based Community Initiatives.
"She's a rock star, what can I say," University Chaplain Timothy Stevens (G82, 90) says of Ahmad, an associate chaplain at Northwestern and one of the few female Muslim university chaplains in the United States.
Ahmad earned even more attention in late August when she became the first woman to recite the Quran at the Islamic Society of North America convention in Washington, D.C., the largest Muslim gathering in the country. Her recitation sparked outrage among some conservatives — women are barred from reciting the Quran in public, in part, Ahmad says, because of a fear that a woman's voice could fill men with lust.
Ahmad says she accepted the invitation to read from the Muslim scripture not out of ego or self-promotion but rather to meet a sense of spiritual responsibility on an issue of social justice.
"I believe that women's issues, women's leadership concerns and the role of Muslim women in the public space is something to be explored in an honest, open and intellectual manner," Ahmad says. "I want to start asking those questions in a respectful way."
Ahmad, who grew up in Morton Grove, Ill., taught at the Islamic Foundation School in Villa Park, Ill., after serving as the Muslim chaplain at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. She came to Northwestern in 2010.
In addition to her role as adviser to the Muslim-cultural Student Association, Ahmad works with non-Muslim and Muslim students in her pastoral counseling. There are 650 to 700 Muslim students, faculty and staff on the Chicago and Evanston campuses.
"With an increasing number of Muslim students on campus, we felt it was important to have a chaplain for them," says President Morton Schapiro. "Tahera has not only been a key person for those students, but also for many other non-Muslim students as well. She has been a wonderful addition to our faith community and the entire University community."— S.H.

Brain Health
During childhood, the brain gets "wired up." During adolescence, the frontal lobe undergoes a surge of development. As an adult, the most important trait of the brain is the ability of the brain to adapt to new experiences. And studies of the brains of older people contradict the once popular belief that adults lose an enormous number of neurons every day.

Vermont wind project to hold open house
Vermont wind project to hold open house
GEORGIA, Vt. —
Vermont's Georgia Mountain Community Wind project is going to be holding an open house and offering tours of its wind turbines.
The open house will be held Saturday from 1-4 p.m.
Meanwhile a number of neighbors of the project will be meeting with visitors as well to tell of their experiences living near the turbines. The neighbor's open house will be held from 10:30 to 12:30.
Last year, more than 750 people visited the site and dedicated the project.
The Georgia Mountain 10 megawatt project uses four wind turbines. It now provides about 8 percent of the energy demand of the Burlington Electric Department.

Get the Recipe
All About Cheese
Everything you need to know about eating and cooking with curds
Full disclosure: I'm a vegetarian chili gal at heart. If there's beef involved, I prefer it in closer to a 1:1 ratio with my beans. This chili, from Tom Mylan's The Meat Hook Meat Book, is not like that. And rightfully so, given that it's coming from a book with 'meat' in the title twice. Instead, it's brimming with a ton of ground meat. Okay, not a ton, but an impressive five pounds—two of beef, two of pork, and one of lamb—or 20 quarter-pounders, to put things in perspective. But it looked so crazy appetizing in the photo, I just had to try it.
The chili's base is a purée of punchy and earthy rehydrated guajillo chilies. There are your typical chili ingredients, like onion, garlic, and canned tomatoes, and an atypical one—hominy, which adds body to the finished dish. Mylan takes no shortcuts when handling his flavors; he calls for toasted and ground cumin seeds, instead of the easier but perhaps inferior powder, and he sets the whole thing on fire with a whopping 1/4 cup of cayenne. Then for the fun part: you take an immersion blender to the pot, breaking down the chunks of meat and hominy until you reach, as he says, Hormel consistency.
All this results in the richest chili I've ever had. So rich that I needed the cheese and sour cream to moderate the intensity! In fact, everyone that shared in this giant pot, and there were lots of us, echoed the same sentiment—that it was delicious, but better suited to go on something, like a chili dog or baked potato. (It would also make killer Cinncinati-style spaghetti or chili-mac.) And then I finally clued in on the line in the book's intro in which Mylan calls his ideal chili "...more suited to pouring over a hot dog than eating out of a bowl." Well, there you go. Mission complete.
Why I picked this recipe: I thought if anyone could make me a meaty chili convert, Mylan could.
What worked: The blend of meats achieved a roundness of fatty flavor that beef alone can't match, and the suggested hit of vinegar at the end definitely helped lift the chili out of gut-busting greasiness. Ultimately, this was a really solid, worth-the-effort chili, with a few caveats.
What didn't: Eating it out of a bowl. Now, I'm sure many of you will love it just that way, but if you go that route, serve with a side of Tums. I, and my many tasters, also found that the cayenne overpowered the other layers of flavor; the full 1/4 cup ended up harsh and unpleasant. One more little note: The recipe calls for two 16-ounce cans of whole tomatoes. That's difficult to find, if it exists; I used the more common 28-ounce can.
Suggested tweaks: Start with 2 tablespoons of cayenne and add more to taste. Another glitch I side-stepped is attempting to brown all the meat at once, as instructed. Though it adds substantially more time to the making of the chili, cook the meat in at least 3 batches if you want any browning at all. That is, unless you have a massive pot. (On that note, you will need at least an 8-quart capacity, and that only left a few inches to the rim.) You could, of course, halve the recipe instead, if you don't need to feed a crowd.
As usual, we have 5 copies of The Meat Hook Meat Book to give away this week.
