Excel delays earning release
Dry bulk carrier owner Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd (NYSE:EXM) has delayed its earnings release and conference call for its results for the fourth quarter and year-end 2008, while it negotiates waivers of certain financial covenants in its credit facilities. It says it "will provide an update, when appropriate."
Meantime, the company says it has sold the 1984- built, 37,687 dwt Handymax M/V Swift for $3.7 million and expects to realize an approximate loss of $2.4 million from this sale. The Excel board sees the deal as "opportune, in view of the vessel's fifth special survey that was due by the end of March which would have resulted in a cost in excess of $2 million and approximately 60 days off hire."

Lansing, MI – The city of Lansing is announcing plans to build a 125,000 square foot casino in its downtown entertainment district. Officials are working with a branch of the Chippewa Indian Tribe to bring the venue to Lansing.
The Kewadin Lansing Casino, as the project is currently named, would be operated by the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. It's expected to bring 1,500 permanent jobs and some 700 construction jobs.
Lansing mayor Virg Bernero says the city would receive up to $6 million in annual revenues, which would be used to fund a four-year college scholarship program for Lansing school students. Bernero says the building would not have all the centralized amenities that are basic to most casinos to avoid competition with nearby vendors.
"We weren't interested in that kind of thing," Bernero says. "We wanted a casino that would be melded into the fabric of our downtown that would help to support local business and support the organic growth of businesses. So, there's no four or five star restaurant in the casino."
Meanwhile, the Saginaw Tribe of Chippewas is reportedly trying to block the project, saying the Sault branch is skirting laws on where Indian casinos may be built.

I won the ebay auction for Base 000. The owner stated that the bridges were replaced with hand-made ones. I was about to pay but now am having second thoughts...
Here is from auction description:
Problems:There is a long scratch across the case back along with a smaller scratch.There are a few slight scuffs along the band.Four of the watch bridges were damaged from a hard impact. They protected the gears from damage but the bridges had to be replaced. But as the pictures show the gears and jewels weren't damaged. The new bridges are in excellent condition .The balance and regulator weren't damaged.
Not sure if I am allowed to post a link to the auction but just in case:
Should I continue with the purchase, or run as far away as I can. If I am to keep it, any idea how much the real Panerai bridges will cost me? Any advise is greatly appreciated.
I would think it twice, maybe i am wrong but a PAM 000 with COSC?
The movement with no panerai stamp ? What about the box ?

On any given day, Leo Zaverukha's booming voice echoes through the Mountain View High School halls that he mops and across the fields that he mows.
Some days it's Russian folk songs. On others, he serenades students with American classics or Christian hymns. Either way, he's tough to miss.
A Ukrainian, Zaverukha came to the United States in 1996 after his parents fled from Russia as refugees. He first settled in California before getting the job at Mountain View in Meridian in 2005. He's been a fixture ever since.
Know of any other Treasure Valley residents who are worth meeting? Let Joe know: like everything. I like people around me. I like school. I like positive things. And I like flowers — there are plenty of flowers here because I am the groundskeeper, and my little hobby is to plant the bushes and flowers, too, that you can see outside."
In Sacramento, he sang to nursing home residents. In Meridian, high school students get serenaded on their birthdays or other random times throughout the day.
"He's just a roving superstar. … He is as pure as the driven snow," said John Rollins, Leo's friend, occasional singing partner and history teacher. "There probably isn't a teacher or administrator here who wouldn't have him and his wife over for dinner."
Leo is universally loved by students, teachers and administrators for his buoyant spirit and relentless positivity, Rollins said.
"Leo is the epitome of all the good qualities you can have in a man," he said. "He's one of those people who, no matter how your day is going, he can lift you."

Welcome to the world of skeet and sporting clays, sometimes referred to as "golf with a shotgun."
The sport consists of a series of natural and built shooting fields that challenge the shooter to hit clay targets or "pigeons," thrown at various speeds and trajectories. Scoring is easy – each target equals one point, the shooter with the most points wins.
Illustrations from Clay Shooting Magazine.
In trap shooting, the clay pigeon fires from a stationary position in front of the shooter, who moves to various positions behind the trap.
5-stand expands on trap shooting by placing 6-8 traps in hidden positions while the shooter moves through the stands.
Skeet ranges place the shooter at numbered positions in an arc between two towers. The clay pigeons fly from high and low positions from either the right or left tower, in an angled trajectory.
Sporting Clays
Like hunting in the field, sporting clays mimics upland game movements and shooting in the wild. Shooters move through stations while the clay targets fly from hidden positions throughout the course.
All types of clay shooting are fun to try and difficult to master. Below are listings for area public shooting facilities.

2015 Sandwich Town Council Archive News & Announcements ...
Kent County Council issued a consultation document and on-line questionnaire on street lighting.
The consultation document and questionnaire can be accessed via:
The deadline for responses to the consultation is Sunday 29 November 2015.
As you will see from the consultation, Kent County Council recently secured funding to convert all of its street lights to Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. LED's are significantly more efficient than the existing lights and LEDs are now used by KCC when they are replacing old or failed street lights.
With LEDs and a Central Management System, KCC will be able to monitor their energy use, detect faults, dim lights and control the time that the lights turn on and off. As a result, KCC are now reviewing the way they provide street lighting and are seeking views via this consultation on how people would prefer the street light to operate.
The consultation sets out the following options:
- Part-night lighting – the current level of service
- All-night lighting
KCC are also seeking views on the dimming of street lights when the roads are less busy (e.g. late evening and early hours of the morning). Sandwich Town Council fully supports street lights being switched on all night.
Please complete the survey so that KCC is made aware of your opinion.
WAYFARERS SANDWICH - Please Click for Notes taken at the second public meeting in Sandwich on 15th December about KCC's consultation on the future of older people's services and of Wayfarers.

Parking accessibility in Sandwich -
Survey Results
Thank you to the many residents who took the time to respond to our survey. Questionnaires were sent to 661 addresses (mostly within the controlled parking zone but including several roads outside that) that did not appear to have their own parking facility. We stopped the survey when we reached 255 responses - a very encouraging figure. The responses showed that:
- A high proportion of residents have to go some way reliably to find space - just under half cannot do so within 400 yards of their address and almost 80% of respondents cannot do so within 200 yards.
- The problem is not confined to peak times - almost 60% experience difficulties in finding space all year round.
- Some permit holders believe they are being squeezed by visitors and by residents who think restrictions will not be enforced and who park in controlled space without buying a permit.
- Respondents contributed lots of ideas - for example, (i) increasing the number of on-street pay+display bays but reserving the rest for residents, with each car park having a section allowing free one hour parking for visitors; (ii) discounts on permits for those who have to travel in to Sandwich to work; (iii) scope was identified to increase the number of on-street bays; and (iv) extending some yellow lines to improve traffic flow.
The survey is part of the Town Council's contribution to Dover's current Parking Strategy Review. Among other results, the survey highlighted problems caused by poor enforcement of restrictions. We also looked at Sandwich's car parks during one of the summer's events - capacity was over 98% utilised.
The Town Team recently held a consultation meeting with local businesses about the Green Paper A Traffic Strategy for Sandwich, at which a summary presentation was made.
You can download a copy of the presentation here
Download the Full Green Paper here.
Comments about the Green Paper and the Town Team's proposals can be made by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com – a dedicated email address for correspondence about the Green Paper.
Representatives of Sandwich Town Council took part in a stakeholder meeting on 17th July 2015 to progress proposals to end the town's traffic problems.
The meeting, hosted by local MP Craig Mackinlay, drew together representatives of Kent County Council, Dover District Council, the Town Council, Stagecoach, Historic England and other key stakeholders to discuss the Green Paper A Traffic Strategy for Sandwich, prepared by Sandwich's Town Team after a year of work.
All attendees welcomed the Green Paper as a good basis on which the drive to find permanent solutions could move forward. It sets out a package of proposals aimed at restricting HGV movements through the town and encouraging a smarter use and routing of buses, protecting the town's historic buildings and improving pedestrian safety.
The Right Worshipful the Mayor of Sandwich, Cllr Paul Graeme, said: "I am immensely pleased that this meeting has had such a positive outcome and that we have agreement from so many key stakeholders to move forward towards a solution to our town's traffic woes.
"Sandwich is a beautiful, historic place, a gem of a town. Sandwich Town Council welcomes the Town Team's Green Paper as a basis on which we and other key stakeholders can work to find long-term remedies for local traffic problems, ensuring that our shared heritage is preserved and our town becomes a safer place for everyone".
The Green Paper is available to view via this website – please click here to download a copy.

A Full Service Cremation is similar to a traditional funeral as there can be a public visitation as well as a funeral mass in church or at our funeral home. At the conclusion of the service the deceased is cremated instead of being earth buried or entombed. This can be accommodated by the use of a cremation casket (a casket that is designed to be cremated) or a rental casket may be used. Our rental casket is constructed of solid hardwood with a medium cherry finish. There is an insert, constructed of cardboard and particle board materials to contain the deceased. Many times the family chooses to inter the cremains in a family burial plot or crypt at a cemetery. The cremains may also be properly scattered, or returned to the family in an urn or keepsake jewelry.
Urns are used to hold the cremated remains. Urns can be constructed out of basic materials like cardboard or plastic, or constructed out of more protective materials like basic and semi-precious metals, ceramics, and woods.
Feel free to email or call us with questions pertaining to cremation.

Supporters of Egypt's ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi held firm Sunday on their insistence that he be reinstated after talks with a senior US official aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the crisis.
Following a meeting with US Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, the political arm of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood stressed its continued commitment to "legitimacy, which stipulates the return of the president, the constitution and the Shura Council," referring to the upper house of parliament.
The US envoy's visit, which followed trips by EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, was the latest move in a diplomatic drive to break the deadlock between Morsi loyalists and the army-installed interim government.
Morsi's supporters have insisted since his July 3 ouster that they would not accept any resolution to the country's crisis that did not include his reinstatement.
Their latest declaration suggested that Burns' visit had failed to shift that position.
Burns later met Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy in a bid to broker a compromise between the two sides.
Washington also kept up the pressure from afar, with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel urging army chief General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to support an "inclusive political process," the Pentagon said.
The diplomatic push came as the Washington Post published an interview with Sisi, who lashed out at Washington, urging it to pressure Morsi supporters to end their rallies.
Tensions have mounted over a looming police move to dismantle two Cairo sit-ins by Morsi loyalists, though Fahmy insisted that authorities had "no desire to use force if there is any other avenue that has not been exhausted."
Morsi has been formally remanded in custody on suspicion of offences committed when he broke out of prison during the 2011 revolt that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak.
The Islamist leader, who has been held at an undisclosed location since the coup, refused to talk to the investigating judge in a meeting on Friday, said Mostafa Azab of the "Lawyers Against the Coup" movement.
Morsi "refused to talk to him and told him he didn't recognise any of the measures being taken against him," Azab told AFP, adding that the former president had refused to call a lawyer.
Earlier, the interior ministry urged pro-Morsi demonstrators to go home, saying this would allow the Brotherhood to return to politics.
But it warned that protesters' "continued presence will expose them to legal action over their involvement in several criminal acts by some in the gatherings, including killing, torture, kidnap, carrying weapons… and incitement to violence".
Meanwhile, Ayman al-Zawahiri, the Egypt-born head of Al-Qaeda, accused Washington of "plotting" Morsi's overthrow with Egypt's military and its Christian minority.
In his first comments since the coup, Zawahiri also attacked Morsi's secular opposition and Coptic Christians, and called for a mass movement to install Islamic law.
Morsi loyalists staged defiant rallies on Friday, though plans for four evening marches largely fizzled after police dispersed a new sit-in outside the Media Production City in a Cairo suburb.
Police fired tear gas and birdshot at protesters who had set up tents and brick fortifications outside the compound. The protesters responded with stones.
Residents of another Cairo neighbourhood also stopped Morsi loyalists from setting up a new protest site in the Alf Masakan neighbourhood overnight.
Sisi told the Post that he wanted Washington to push for an end to the protests.
He said that police, not the military, would be charged with dispersing the protests, and insisted that millions of Egyptians "are waiting for me to do something" about the sit-ins.
Sisi defended the army's intervention, saying it had prevented a "civil war" but gave an enigmatic answer on the question of whether he would run for president.

Clergerie ankle boots have been on my "to find" list since I came across these. His Espace brand is a little less architectural but still interesting silhouettes. I have boots similar to these I wear all the time, so I figured I should find some more in the same family and I was lucky to score these on ebay the other day. I dig the real rounded shape- they are like the Audi or Beetle of Chelsea boots!

A new book by Holocaust scholar Rafael Medoff argues that Franklin Delano Roosevelt, far from being the friend of the Jews in whom many elderly Jews still believe, may have held deep antisemitic prejudices.
Newly-unearthed private remarks and actions, many of which are revealed in Medoff's new book, FDR and the Holocaust: A Breach of Faith, reflect a president whose inaction left hundreds of thousands of Jews to be murdered in the Holocaust.
Some of these statements and actions, reviewed by Medoff in a recent Los Angeles Times op-ed, included:
- 1923: FDR felt there were too many Jews at Harvard and collaborated in instituting a quota on Jews.
- 1938: FDR said privately that anti-Semitism in Poland was triggered by Jews dominating the economy there.
- 1941:FDR told his Cabinet there were too many Jews among federal employees in Oregon.
- 1943: as Jews were being slaughtered in Europe, FDR met with Winston Churchill and spoke of what the future held for Jews. He approved of a plan "to spread Jews thin all over the world." As noted by Vice President Henry Wallace, "The president said he had tried this out in [Meriwether] County, Georgia [where Roosevelt lived in the 1920s] and at Hyde Park on the basis of adding four or five Jewish families at each place. He claimed that the local population would have no objection if there were no more than that."
- Another instance where FDR called jews begging ofr help getting their brethren out of Europe "Jewish wailing" and "sob stuff."
- 1941: FDR remarked at a Cabinet meeting that there were too many Jews among federal employees in Oregon.
- On another occasion, FDR responded to a query by proudly asserting, "there is no Jewish blood in our veins."
All of these actions, Medoff argues, suggest a new picture of the man whose administration stifled German Jews wanting to flee the Holocaust by instituting, starting in 1941, laws that refused permission if the individual left a family member behind, because of the assumption that the Nazis could blackmail the immigrant into spying for Hitler, and refusing to tell the State Department to fill the quotas for Jewish immigrants from Germany and Axis-occupied countries to the legal limit, which would have saved nearly 200,000 Jews.
The legacy of the Jews who became Democrats believing in FDR has affected generations following them who vote Democrats into office because their parents did. But if the truth be told, the present-day animus of the Democratic Party for the State of Israel and traditional Jewish values is nothing more than an outgrowth of the man who abandoned Jews while posing as their friend.

Milgard Team Habitat Day 2015
On Saturday May 2, employees from Milgard came out to The Woods at Golden Given for a Team Habitat day of building.
This team did lots of backbreaking work. First, they stripped the foundation for Lindsey Ravina's home. Stripping foundation requires pulling up boards placed to guide concrete when a foundation is poured and scraping off the remnants of concrete so the boards can be reused. Next, they worked on the home's drainiage pipes. Milgard employees dug drainage ditches, laid the drainege pipes, and hauled gravel to cover the drainage pipes.
Nick Albritton, the Construction Site Coordinator who worked with Milgard, said he was very impressed with the work they accomplished.
"They worked really, really, really hard," Nick said, "and left super sweaty."
Thank you Milgard for your hard work! We appreciate all that you do to help more hardworking, low-income families achieve their dreams of homeownership!

I am a big fan of the accelerated BSN programs. Graduates from such programs I have worked with bring a lot of life and work experience to nursing.
Aug 19, '12I realize this is an old thread but I had 2 BS (Math & Biology) and chose to go the ADN route (for economic reasons). I had 12 years critical care transport/prehospital experience prior to entering nursing school. All of these things were very helpful while going to ADN school full time while working full time.
I never considered doing a direct entry MSN because of the input I received from nurse friends I trusted. I would have been hired as a "new grad" and at base pay regardless. Our practice ladder is set up such that I wouldn't have received any significant professional advantages over similarly experienced RNs until I advanced to the Clinical level IV, which also has an hours worked component, in addition to requiring an MSN.
Just my $0.02.
Sep 10, '12I am in the process of going to scholl for my RN at this time. I have worked up from a CNA to CMT to LPN. There is a definite benefit from working your way up. The difference I have seen in all nurses that have never worked in the health field and started as a nurse, from one that has worked in some way with patients, is very noticable. There seems to be more genuine caring and understanding of the patients views and feelings from someone with even the barest experience. The same also seems true in leadership. If you have been the one being lead, you understand how to get more out of your team.
Sep 27, '12Quote from bobobijouxNo. The CNL is not an advanced practice role.As a CNL can you diagnose patients and prescribe medicine as an NP can?
Sep 27, '12Quote from bobobijoux*** Certainly not. Every clinical nurse leader I have ever met was a new grad nurse who didn't know anything more about patient care than any other new grad does. CNL is not an advanced practice roll. In fact in 18 years in nursing in 4 different states in a number of hospitals I have never met a clinical nurse leader doing any roll other than bedside staff RN getting the exact same pay as their fellow ADN, BSN and MSN prepared RNs.As a CNL can you diagnose patients and prescribe medicine as an NP can?
Oct 7, '12I graduated from a master's entry CNL program. I chose to get a master's because I:
-already had my bachelor's
-wanted a master's
-it was a shorter program
Hospitals want RNs who have their bachelor's or master's. (At least where I live) And this will obviously offend people but it's true. It's easier to get a job as a new grad with a master's or bachelor's than an ADN, unless you know someone or are really awesome.
I passed the CNL exam and I'm proud to be a CNL! I am a floor nurse but I'm using my CNL degree and am working on a project on our unit with another CNL/floor nurse to improve morale by organizing our unit, improving the Omnicell, creating unit sweatshirts, organizing potlucks. I think part of it is my personality/passion for positive change and part of it is my CNL degree.
Happy to hear you went for the Masters degree.
Oct 7, '12Quote from nurse hila*** One of the large health systems I work for, after some experience with them, no longer considers direct entry masters grads for employment as new grads. They are not hired into the nurse residency program anymore. I know of one other smaller regional health system that also will not hire them as new grads. I suppose a direct entry masters grad who was an experienced RN would be considered but so far as I know that hasn't come up yet.I graduated from a master's entry CNL program. I chose to get a master's because I:
-already had my bachelor's
-wanted a master's
-it was a shorter program
Hospitals want RNs who have their bachelor's or master's. (At least where I live) And this will obviously offend people but it's true. It's easier to get a job as a new grad with a master's or bachelor's than an ADN, unless you know someone or are really awesome. .
As you probaly know there are several types of direct entry masters programs. Some of them involve getting the basic RN education and then working for a year or so then entering an advanced practice program. Those grads who took jobs and accepted training knowing full well they would be leaving just as soon as they were starting to be useful to the unit (one year) left some very bad impressions with some nurse managers. I know that there are other programs, like yours that do not mean automatic enrollment in an advanced practice program. However, at least in some places, all grads of direct entry masters are being painted with a broad brush.
Dec 30, '12Quote from newmusicHey I feel you - I had an alumni connection that could make me a CNL in just under two years - and declined.
I am chomping at the bit for my NP really, but I believe in taking the time to do it the right way.
True that that's not the case with other majors and masters like social work or psychology where you can have a change of heart after undergrad and do something a little different.
I think the proliferation of so0o0o0o many accelerated nursing programs for non-experiences nurses is outrageous and insulting and demeaning - and that's coming from someone who isn't even a nurse yet! But I am an artist and a teacher who loves science and takes my education seriously. Seriously, why rush through this kind of education? Traditional nursing programs dont take that long compared to med school! It's really important to be thorough in this work. I don't want to forget everything right after finals because 6 courses are crammed into one summer term. No, I don't want to rush through my medical education just to get some quickie fast food degree. I don't think you will get hired without a summer student nurse job in between the traditional years anyway, and definitely not at the master's level.
Totally don't mean to come across as so bossy or opinionated I am just passionate about this because I have been researching my new career choice like crazy and I also really love learning new things and I am not romanced when (always the overpriced private) universities try to swindle young people which is what I believe they are doing with this direct-entry jam.
Hi newmusic,
I'm new to allnurses and was looking through to ask about MSN education and saw your post. I am an endoscopy nurse for 7 years with my BSN and some masters classes under my belt, and would like to get my np, I think, but dont know much about the choices. Ay input. Thanks suesue
Dec 30, '12Quote from 38866Hi 38866,I am a CNL. I graduated 2 years ago and have been functioning in the role for nearly 5 years. I love my role. I function close to the white paper ideals.
is a great site to get you started. I've been to/presented at two different national conferences and the CNL varies a lot, depending on the institutions expectations of you. A lot of CNLs I meet are not as fortunate as I am.
A lot of your education is similar to APRN. If I ever wanted to be an APRN it would be another year of education. I've never wanted to be an APRN, the CNL role is a great fit for me.
http://www.amazon.com/Initiating-Sus.../dp/0763776319 This is the first text on the CNL. James Harris is part of the VA system, who has been a big supporter of the CNL. Linda is also fabulous and has been a great advocate. There is a chapter in there that features different CNLs across the country. I haven't read the whole book, just that section. Otherwise, I skimmed the content and it all looked really great. This book came out about a year ago or so.
I just read an old post of yours on CNL and APRN. I have a couple of master classes I completed a couple of years ago, but I want to finish and dont know what direction I need to go in. My goal is to work for the hospital I am at, only as a NP I thnk, like a hospitalist, bedside work. Can you help me with info. Thanks. suesue

GS Alumna Begins Post-Grad Internship in Southeast Asia
A recent Global Studies graduate will soon begin a 10-month post-graduate teaching internship that involves teaching migrant youths at an English-immersion school on the Burma-Myanmar-Thai border.
Jordan Pescrillo '12 of Buffalo, New York, will begin teaching this summer at the Minmahaw Education Foundation (MEF), a nonprofit educational organization opened in 2007 to educate Burmese youth with disadvantaged backgrounds. There, she will provide instruction in a variety of topics to students ages 17 to 24.
Pescrillo graduated in 2012 from St. Lawrence with a major in global studies and a minor in educational studies. While attending St. Lawrence, she volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, participated in the Amnesty International and Literacy for Nepal student groups, and spent a semester abroad in Kenya. Pescrillo also worked as an intern for The Weave, the Global Studies Department's independent media project that is staffed by students, alumni, faculty and staff and committed to exploring underreported stories. Most recently, she has been working in as an Americorps member in Buffalo.
The post-graduate teaching internship was made possible due to the support of Sarah E. Johnson '82, a member of St. Lawrence's Board of Trustees.
MEF, an English-immersion school staffed entirely by volunteers, prepares Burmese students to take a high school equivalency exam so they can gain entry to university. In addition to an education, the program provides a safe location for the students to study as well as food, clothing and basic medical care.

Top 5 financial ratios: Manufacturers
We continue our top 5 financial ratios series with a look at manufacturers. And you thought theyd all moved to China.
Last issue, we kicked off an extended series revealing our top five ratios for various important industries. The series opener focused on listed property trusts, a fairly generic bunch. Today, we're considering a far more diverse category, one that incorporates almost all companies that make 'stuff' – manufacturers.
This category doesn't lend itself to a one-size-fits-all approach as neatly as property trusts. But because the sector includes some outstanding companies that don't logically fit under any other category, we thought it important to undertake the task early in the series. From our current Buy list alone, this article will be helpful in understanding at least parts of the businesses owned by ARB Corporation, Aristocrat Leisure, Brickworks, CSL and Fisher & Paykel Appliances.
We've selected what are typically the five most important ratios to consider. But due to the varied nature of the sector, we'll also suggest other ratios that may be useful for analysing manufacturing companies.
In showing how to put theory into practice, we'll use two manufacturing companies that sit at opposite ends of the quality spectrum – packaging company Amcor and hearing implant manufacturer Cochlear. If it's not immediately apparent which company sits where, it should be by the end of this article.
Interest cover ratio
We'll start off with an important 'safety' ratio, because further analysis is unnecessary if the company's finances are too shaky. Last issue, we discussed the net debt-to-equity ratio, which certainly can be useful here. But it can miss the point, particularly for high quality manufacturers that aren't particularly capital intensive (such as Cochlear).
The interest cover ratio measures the company's ability to fulfil its interest payments as they fall due, by comparing the annual interest expense with how much the company earns.
The interest cover ratio can be calculated from either the profit & loss statement or the cash flow statement. Both figures can be useful. But we lean towards cash flow interest cover, because it's a lack of cash, rather than a lack of reported profit, that will send a company broke.
|Operating cash flow before interest ($m)
|Interest paid ($m)
|Interest cover (times)
We explained how to calculate the interest cover ratio in the Investor's College article Debt demystified – part 2 of 15 Apr 04. In table 1, we've calculated the ratio for both Amcor and Cochlear from their results to 30 June 2009.
As far as safety is concerned, the higher the interest cover, the better. Cochlear clearly generates enough cash to satisfy its interest payments, and Amcor's coverage isn't too bad either. But Amcor's cash flow is historically quite volatile and for that reason we're not completely comfortable with a ratio of four.
Calculating interest cover is a nuanced process. For example, you could argue the case for using pre-tax operating cash flow, although we'd argue the tax bill generally relates to the prior year's profit and an outstanding tax bill can send a company broke.
There is also the case for using net interest paid (interest paid less interest received), but we prefer to take the more conservative interest paid figure, because cash in the bank can be spent in a hurry. For the eagle-eyed, that explains the difference between the $181.7m 'net finance costs' in Amcor's 2009 annual report, and our estimated interest paid figure of $190m in table 1.
Other potential safety ratios: P&L-based interest cover, net debt-to-equity, net debt-to-market capitalisation.
EBIT margin
The EBIT margin measures how many cents in earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) a company squeezes from each dollar of sales. For obvious reasons, this can be considered a 'profitability' ratio but, for reasons Phil Fisher set down many years ago in Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, it's also a 'safety' ratio. We explained this in the Investor's College article Bad stocks and boom times of 3 Aug 05 and through example in ARB focus leaves CMI behind of 24 May 06.
In short, a higher EBIT margin means there's more left over for shareholders, for reinvesting in the business (to trounce the competition) and as a buffer in case of a general economic downturn or specific company problem.
|Sales ($m)
|EBIT ($m)
|EBIT margin (%)
Importantly, what matters most is the EBIT margin measured against the competition, rather than as an absolute or against unrelated companies. The fact that Cochlear's 25% EBIT margin leaves Amcor's 5% margin in the dust doesn't say nearly as much as Woolworths supermarkets' 5.8% EBIT margin does compared with Coles supermarkets' 2.9%. Note Woolies' relatively low absolute EBIT margin has been no impediment to creating shareholder wealth over the years.
Woolies has been able to use those higher margins to cut prices for customers and reinvest in improving efficiences, creating the virtuous cycle referred to in our review of the company on 17 Feb 10 (Long Term Buy – $25.90) while still making lots of money for shareholders.
While our example shows the EBIT margin of just one year, it often also makes sense to look at a margin average over three years, five years, or some other period designed to encapsulate the entire business cycle (Ben Graham advocated seven years).
Return on capital employed (ROCE)
We explained ROCE and its siblings, return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA), in a two-part Investor's College article starting on 14 Dec 09. ROCE is predominately a profitability ratio.
ROE, which is a measure of post-tax profit against all the shareholders' equity in a business, often steals the limelight. But ROE will shift up and down depending on how the business is financed (whether the company uses debt lavishly or sparingly).
So while ROE is useful for comparing two debt free businesses, it fails when comparing a debt free company with an indebted competitor. Put another way, ROE won't tell you the difference between a 6 footer and a 5 foot 9er in platform shoes. Return on capital employed (ROCE) will.
|EBIT ($m)
|Capital employed ($m)
ROCE measures the EBIT of the business against the entire capital base, both equity and debt. So if a company, for example, takes on debt to buy back shares, the ROCE doesn't change like the ROE does. The ratio measures the company's historic ability to both cover its debts and to make a profit for shareholders.
In the year to 30 June 2009, Cochlear's ROCE of 37% ran rings around Amcor's 7.6%. Again, it makes some sense to consider an average of several years' ROCE figures, especially with a more cyclical business.
Higher ROCE shows higher returns on the debt and equity invested in a business, and is almost always a good sign. Remember, though, that it's future ROCE that impacts returns for shareholders, and past ROCE is only ever a guide (and sometimes a misleading one).
Free cash flow to net profit
You might choose to call this either a watchdog ratio or a metabolism ratio, although neither are official tags. We calculate this ratio to ensure that net profit is turning up as free cash. This helps ensure against profit manipulation (the watchdog function), and it also gives us an idea of the capital intensity of the business (the metabolism function). Because free cash flow and reported profit can legitimately differ in any one accounting period, longer term averages are the key to getting the most out of this ratio.
Bear in mind, though, many factors can pollute this analysis, such as a significant capital expenditure item in the period being considered. Also, we think it's important to use profit before one-off items. Writedowns, for example, reduce normalised profit without affecting the comparable free cash flow.
Generally, we like to see something approaching 100% of net profit turning up as free cash flow, but the factors vary greatly from business to business. Table 4 shows net profit after tax and free cash flow for Amcor and Cochlear over the past five years. At first glance, it might be surprising that Amcor's profits have turned up in free cash flow (and then some), whereas Cochlear's haven't in full. But there are several valid explanations.
|Year to 30 June
|Cash/profit (%)
|Net profit ($m)
|Free cash flow ($m)
|Net profit ($m)
|Free cash flow ($m)
Most importantly, Amcor's business has been going backwards these past five years in terms of sales, assets and equity. If we think of it in terms of a business in partial liquidation, the excess cash flow makes sense.
Similarly, Cochlear's slight cash flow shortage is understandable. The business has grown rapidly these past few years, with sales and equity approximately doubling between 2005 and 2009. Because of this growth, it's logical that capital expenditure has been greater than depreciation, and the company has also needed to increase its investment in inventory and other working capital.
Other potential profitability ratios: Gross profit margin, net profit margin, ROE and ROA.
Price earnings ratio (PER)
The prior ratios have told us something about the quality of the business, its financing and profitability. But we need to ascertain whether the stock is cheap, fairly priced or significantly overpriced. After all, a good company won't make a good investment if bought at a bad price. And lesser companies can make great investments if bought cheaply enough.
|Share price ($)
|PER (times)
No one ratio tells us everything. But if the accounting is conservative and not distorted by unusual events, the price earnings ratio (PER) can tell us a lot. The PER – and its inverse, the earnings yield – put the current share price into context next to current earnings per share. Calculating and interpreting PERs was covered in the Investor's College article of 17 Jan 07, Getting to grips with PERs.
On a PER basis, Amcor is significantly cheaper than Cochlear, although that should be no surprise. But PERs can be misleading, particularly for cyclical businesses like Amcor, and it's not cheap enough for us for a variety of other reasons.
Cochlear's share price isn't a bargain, either. But it is an incredibly high quality business. Current consensus forecasts for 2010 EPS is $2.75, up 18% on 2009's result. That makes for a forecast PER of 24, and a few more years of rapid earnings growth has the potential to make today's price look cheap. In short, we're closer to upgrading Cochlear.
Other potential valuation ratios: price to sales, price to book value, price to NTA, cash flow earnings ratio, enterprise value to EBIT multiple, dividend yield and dividend payout ratio.

Tips On How
Best To Choose
Your Fertility Clinic
There are ways to make sure you choose the best fertility clinic for your fertility care.
Many couples express confusion and frustration by the time they realize they are facing a fertility challenge.
Take this short fertility quiz to assess your pregnancy potential and to better understand how to enhance your fertility. It will give you valuable information about yourself.
There are several types of fertility clinics
You should be aware that there are different types of clinics available to you. There are pros and cons of each type. It is important to know that the type of clinic does not usually dictate the quality of patient care. There are 6 types of fertility clinics:
Sole practitioners are known for their personal approach. Generally, you will have access to your doctor when you have questions or something comes up. On the contrary, if you choose a very large clinic you may see different doctors on each visit and you might be dealing with nurses and clinic staff more often than a physician. Larger clinics also have an in-house embryology laboratory, more equipment and resources than a smaller practice.
A fertility network is a group of fertility clinics that have joined together as one organization. Fertility networks have the advantage of offering several different financing packages.
Clinics at university centers and large hospitals often conduct medical research studies. This usually means that you may be offered a discount if you choose to be included in an ongoing research study. These types of organizations have access to a significant amount of resources, are often well funded, and can offer lower rates.
There are several fertility clinic quality indicators
Here is what to look for when assessing the potential fertility clinic's quality of services.
1. Success Rates
While it is important to know the success rate of the clinic you are considering, there are a few caveats to consider. Success rates are collected and published by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) every year, but it takes two years for the CDC rates to become available. So the success numbers to be released in 2018 will report data for clinics' success rates for 2016. A lot could have changed in the clinic in the last two years (i.e. personnel turnover, equipment may not be as up-to-date, possible changes in the finances of the clinic, etc.). You can access the CDC rates here: Annual ART Success Rate Reports.
You should look for the type of treatment performed, number and outcome of ART cycles. You also may want to check how many women in your age category are treated at those particular clinics and if possible to find out for what condition. When you are considering a fertility clinic, request their success rates publication and compare it with the published CDC rates.
2. Types of Services
Different fertility clinics offer different services and may only have a certain range of experience. For example, most clinics offer egg freezing but many have never thawed a single egg. Freezing and thawing eggs is an extremely delicate process that requires practice so you will want to find a clinic that has a lot of experience and has data to demonstrate success outcomes.
Start by determining the types of services you know you need to get started. Since there is a continuum of fertility treatments available, make sure the clinic and doctors you choose match your time and speed preference with their availability and are in alignment with your personal wishes and budgetary needs.
Some of the more common treatments include hormone injections therapy, unstimulated cycles often called "mini-IVF", IVF with ICSI plus many other numerous IVF treatment add-ons. The list is complex.
If you are thinking you will need to do IVF, make sure you find a clinic that has a great deal of experience with IVF. Look for clinics that do 150-200 IVF cycles a year with a higher-than-average rate of success.
Make also sure that the fertility clinic or doctor you choose specialize in the type of infertility issue or condition that you are dealing with. There are many reasons a woman or couple are diagnosed with infertility, and for each diagnosis there are incredibly complex underlying causes. Look for a clinic that specializes in your specific fertility condition(s). If you have an undergoing chronic condition, look for clinics that are affiliated with large medical centers for improved care coordination and enhanced care continuation.
3. Embryology Laboratory
The quality of an embryology laboratory of a fertility clinic can directly influence the likelihood of success, so it makes sense to research the laboratory associated with a potential clinic. Here's what to ask:
4. Billing Department
Most patients that purchase IVF services will spend between $40,000 - $50,000 on fertility treatment, and most will pay with cash. It is incredibly important that the billing department be organized and provide you with accurate receipts and statements. Disorganization and lack of accounting systems can cost couples thousands of dollars in mistakes – and often the error is never discovered.
Look for clinics that have a financial coordinator that can work with you on payments and financing if you need it. While a good billing department may not directly impact whether or not you have a baby, it can certainly help make your experience a good one. Having a billing department also helps with decreasing the cost surprise factor.
In overview, there are several things to consider when choosing your fertility clinic.
Fertility clinics and doctors differ dramatically. Finding the best choice for you takes an effort on your part because you need to familiarize yourself with what's available and what truly matters to you. And often you may not know what you do not know.
In general, individuals tend to just go to a clinic that is conveniently located to home or office but ultimately may not be the best choice for your condition, needs, and/or wishes. Determining the quality of the clinic and how it fits your goals and needs is imperative. Finding the best fertility clinic and doctor can make the difference between success and failure. It is important to take time, be diligent, and listen to your inner voice.

Yes and Knuth too. Your research and code are incredible, almost untouchable. Yet sort performance is important and empirical evidence suggests that this can be improved upon significantly, so I am and will be spending time trying to improve upon that. Another time... This thread was aiming to plug a problem I saw with 8.1's ability to use very large work_mem settings. I felt that either my performance numbers were wrong or we needed to do something; I've not had anybody show me performance numbers that prove mine doubtful, yet. > During the run-forming phase it's definitely useful to eat all the > memory you can: that translates directly to longer initial runs and > hence fewer merge passes. Sounds good, but maybe that is not the dominant effect. I'll retest, on the assumption that there is a benefit, but there's something wrong with my earlier tests. > During the run-merging phase it's possible > that using less memory would not hurt performance any, but as already > stated, I don't think it will actually end up cutting the backend's > memory footprint --- the sbrk point will be established during the run > forming phase and it's unlikely to move back much until transaction end. > Also, if I recall the development of that code correctly, the reason for > using more than minimum memory during the merge phase is that writing or > reading lots of tuples at once improves sequentiality of access to the > temp files. So I'm not sure that cutting down the memory wouldn't hurt > performance. Cutting memory below about 16 MB does definitely hurt external sort performance; I explain that as being the effect of sequential access. I haven't looked to nail down the breakpoint exactly since it seemed more important simply to say that there looked like there was one.. Its just that raising it above that mark doesn't help much, according to my current results. I'll get some more test results and repost them, next week. I will be very happy if the results show that more memory helps.

While the faces of two other Massachusetts brothers were plastered all over television and every newspaper in America as the alleged Boston Marathon bombers, Khalid and Sami Shahin took a detour Friday morning from a visit to Rochester Institute of Technology to see the famous cataracts.
Their arrival at one of America's natural wonders that happens to be right next to the Canadian border caught the attention of a man who thought one of them resembled one of the fugitive brothers.
The man, an Air National Guardsman dressed for work, called police from his vehicle and followed the brothers when they exited the Niagara Thruway. A city dispatcher sent out a radio call alerting patrol officers to the situation, stating that the caller said they were in the vicinity of Pine Avenue and Hyde Park Boulevard.
"It looks like the suspect from Massachusetts," the dispatcher said.
Officers Dan Haney and Andrew Pappas spotted the black Nissan on Elmwood Avenue, behind the Falls City Market, between 17th and 19th streets, and stopped it without incident at about 7:20 a.m.
Haney and Pappas spotted backpacks in the rear seat of the Shahin brothers' car, adding to the tension of the moment, though Khalid, 20, and Sami, 17, of Foxford, Mass., fully cooperated with the officers, who frisked them and called for backup.
The area soon flooded with city and state police, Border Patrol agents, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents and members of the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The brothers were interviewed at the nearby Niagara Falls Boys Club on 17th Street and agreed to have their car searched. Police also called their father, who owns the vehicle, and he also agreed to the search, Niagara Falls Police Superintendent Bryan DalPorto said.
A check with federal records indicated a Turkish relative of the brothers had once been on an FBI watch list, authorities said, although they stressed that is no longer the case.
Curious neighbors watched the drama unfold, many taking photos and video with their cellphones, as a large group of media arrived.
"We were getting coffee and going for a walk and suddenly there were cops everywhere. We watched as they were frisking them. The police asked everyone to back up. It was chaotic," Jason Conte said.
For hours, some spectators speculated that the brother who managed to get away from authorities in Boston might have been apprehended in their neighborhood or that the two young men stopped by city police had come there to cause havoc.
"Reality set in. We realized what happened in Boston could have happened here," said Christopher Glenn.
The tension level rose when a State Police bomb detection robot opened a door of the car and began "sniffing" for explosives. The robot removed the backpacks one at a time and shook their contents free.
High school chemistry homework assignments from Sami, an 11th-grader, began to blow about in a fierce wind. One of the sheets of paper with "Sami Shahin" written at the top of it and dated "3/20/13" showed complex hand drawn diagrams of DNA strands and doodles of faces.
Neither backpack nor a pillow or a fourth item removed from the vehicle revealed anything of danger and a state trooper in a bomb-protection suit approached the car and examined it before determining there was nothing hazardous.
Khalid Shaheen, a computer science major at a Boston college, was driving his younger brother Sami to check out the RIT campus, before making a detour to Niagara Falls for sightseeing, police said.
"Sami wants to be a chemical engineer. We're told he's so smart he may graduate high school early and begin college next year," a police official said. "Both the brothers are bookworms. Their only crime was that they were in a car with Massachusetts' license plates and that one of them looked like the suspect from Boston."
Shortly after 12:30 p.m., the stretch of Elmwood Avenue, between 17th and 19th streets, was reopened and the brothers were whisked away from the Boys' Club in an unmarked police car.
DalPorto stressed that the brothers were "completely cooperative" and that police treated them respectfully and kept them informed of what was going on. Authorities explained that the brothers' reaction to noticing they were being followed, apparently refusing to make eye contact with the Guardsman and attempting to get away from him raised suspicion.
Charges of failure to use a turn signal and obey a stop sign were issued, police said, adding that the brothers were returned to their car.
Niagara Falls, it turns out, was not the only place in the area experiencing jitters from the events in Boston.
Dwight Hennessy, associate professor of psychology at SUNY Buffalo State and a resident of Fort Erie, Ont., said there were longer delays at the Peace Bridge this week.
"There was definitely a bigger police presence at the bridge coming back into Canada. We had state troopers, Customs and Border officers," Hennessy said.
"They have been more vigilant in the last few days, asking more questions. I totally get it. I have no problem with it."
Also, Hamburg High School canceled a trip the orchestra was to make to Boston this weekend.
The students were to leave Friday and return Sunday evening.
Superintendent Steven A. Achramovitch said after Monday's bombing that Principal Michael Gallagher met with parents, students and staff to tell them the trip was being reassessed. It was canceled Wednesday because at that time "there was no closure to it," he said.
"We'll try to reschedule for the kids," Achramovitch said.

HANDS-ON: "Batman: Arkham Knight" Brings A New Villain and Batmobile Joyride
As the conclusion to developer Rocksteady's Batman "Arkham" video game trilogy, as well as the first game in the series on the Xbox One/PlayStation 4 generation of game consoles, "Batman: Arkham Knight" has a lot to live up to. Judging from the demo CBR News saw behind closed doors at E3 2014 this week — which showed off new moves and gadgets, Batman's new, original adversary, and the new transforming Batmobile — fans won't be disappointed.
The demo began with Batman and Commissioner Gordon conferring outside the familiar Ace Chemicals compound. As they discussed rescuing the workers held prisoner inside, the game's eponymous villain, the Arkham Knight himself, flew in on a chopper and destroyed their only way inside. This seemed to be the first time Bruce encounters the Knight. "Friend of yours?" Gordon asked. "Stay here, and I'll go find out," the Bat replied.
RELATED: Who is Rocksteady's New Batman Character, the Arkham Knight?
For the first time in the "Arkham" series Batman can summon the Batmobile at will, and he used its winch attachment to pry up the wrecked highway and make a ramp for himself. In "Batman: Arkham Knight," the iconic vehicle can transform easily from a normal car (well, as normal as the Batmobile gets) into "battle mode," a veritable tank with powerful weapons and maneuverability. The battle mode variation's tired squealed as the car-cum-tank made a ramp from the rubble, though as it weaved and dodged during combat later in the demo the nimble "bat-tank" almost seemed to hover over the ground. And it transformed back into the sexy Batmobile we know and love to speed up and jump the gap toward the Ace facility.
The demo also showed that the Batmobile is more than just a plot device. Batman can summon the vehicle at any time and even take control of it remotely, and in battle mode the tank uses non-lethal projectiles to take out minions and missile barrages to destroy armored drones. This version of the iconic car also has a pair of passenger seats in the rear that Bruce can use to rescue innocents — in this case, the trapped Ace Chemical workers — or apprehend villains.
"There's a lot of other elements where you can kind of unite Batman and the car together," the game's lead animator, Rocksteady's Zafer Coban, told CBR News. "And it's exciting for the designers, really, because it gives them that new platform."
Once inside Ace Chemical, Batman parked the car and ascended to the compound's highest point, showing off some of the game's new combat mechanics along the way. Erupting from a grate in the floor (what insane engineers put these all over Gotham?), he initiated the game's new "fear takedown" move, slowing time and subduing three enemies without raising an alarm. Elsewhere in the demo he used new contextual special attacks, including shoving a man's face into a live electrical box, mid-air attacks and counters, and even a one-two punch where Batman knocks enemies into the air and the nearby Batmobile skeet-shoots them with what might be crowd control bean bags — though realistically, what could a tank possibly shoot that wouldn't kill a human on impact? Right now it's unclear, though hopefully the game addresses the question at some point.
RELATED: Rocksteady Showcases Batmobiel in New "Batman: Arkham Knight" Trailer
From that high vantage point Batman threw a new gadget, the Bat Scanner, a high-tech batarang that locates the five innocent workers trapped around the chemical plant. The game's environments are more vertical than ever, not to mention five times bigger than the world of previous game "Batman: Arkham City," and Batman has more advanced and fluid traversal mechanics as well. He batclawed up and around easily, then went full Bat as he crashed through a skylight to engage directly with the enemies underneath. Combat in "Batman: Arkham Knight" is similar to the systems in Rocksteady's past games, though Batman met one new enemy type, agile sword-wielders, as he battled and snuck around Ace Chemicals.
Back at base, Barbara Gordon/Oracle gains some intel on the mysterious Arkham Knight. Apparently he led a black-ops team whose compound was discovered in Venezuela, and little else is known about him. But in a later encounter the masked and armored villain made it clear he's someone close to Bruce. He instructed his minions to fire their weapons toward specific weak points in Batman's armor, displaying a casual knowledge of its construction that only a friend of the Bat could possess. At one point, Batman overheard the Knight and Scarecrow discussing the former's hatred of Bruce, which is apparently so intense even Dr. Crane doesn't get it. Clearly the Arkham Knight's identity will prove important, though for now, Bruce doesn't seem to recognize him.
Coban said the developers worked closely with DC and Warner Bros. to make sure the villain fits in Batman canon. "He's like a darker reflection of Batman," Coban said. "He's a guy that just wants to take out the Bat once and for all. And he's like a combat expert, got a whole troop, an army behind him, all the tanks and drones. We were just privileged to actually be able to introduce a new character to our game world."
As enticing as the mystery of the Arkham Knight's identity is, Batman learned of a more pressing concern during this demo. Apparently Crane is preparing to detonate a fear-bomb that will coat the entire east coast with his not-so-funny gas. As usual, Rocksteady's new game is gritty and topical, fitting easily in the world of Batman fiction. And Coban said "Arkham Knight" will feature tons of other familiar characters as well, including Two-Face, Riddler, and Penguin, who've also joined forces with Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight. It's a real epic showdown, apparently.
"This is the end of the trilogy," Coban said. "All great things are coming to an end." And that end can't come soon enough for Batman fans. "Batman: Arkham Knight" is scheduled for release in 2015 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

The Syria Fund partners with local organizations in Jordan that touch the lives of refugees living outside of UN-administered refugee camps through community building, education initiatives and direct giving.
Meet Our Partners:
Helping refugees in jordan (HRJ) - Amman, Jordan
Catherine Ashcroft is the director of HRJ & Mobilization Specialist for Mercy Corps International. She has been living in the Middle East with her family for the better part of the last 10 years. In 2012, she started collecting discarded items from friends and families and bringing them to communities with large refugee populations. Quickly, her two car garage became a massive sorting center, housing donations and items purchased in bulk for distribution. What began as a minor volunteer effort has blossomed into a charity, HRJ, that helps thousands of people. The Syria Fund works with HRJ to address emergency needs by providing critically-needed items like food packages, warm blankets, hygiene items, medical equipment and more.

SOUth azraq women's association (SAWA) - Azraq, jordan
Our partner Nofa has been director of the South Azraq Women's Association (SAWA) since the 1990s, when Azraq was a small town of 9,000. Today, she serves a community nearly twice the size, including over 8,000 Syrian refugees – about 2,000 of whom are young children who have missed years of school. Around the perimeter of SAWA's property, we've helped to set up four caravan classrooms that serve 110 children through the help of partner organizations like ours and donors like you. The kids come five days a week and learn Reading, Writing, and Math. We are so impressed with Nofa and her organization and are thrilled to be helping expand the capacity of her school by supporting fulltime teachers, building a library/community room and bringing our Songs For Syrians music program to the school!

MECI has created and implements an Informal Education Program for Syrian refugee children and out of school Jordanian children who live in close proximity with refugees. They now reach more than 1,800 students in the cities of Ramtha, Irbid and Salt. MECI's program targets children aged 6-12, who do not reside in refugee camps, providing learning in English, Math, and Arabic. The Syria Fund is working with MECI to help expand their extracurricular programs and support new teachers.

Welcome to my new series – Friday Faves
It's been weeks since I've been wrecking my brain trying to come up with categories for days of the week. I started off with "Motivation Mondays" this week, and eventually I'll fit in another day between then and Friday. This plan is all done to help me come up with a steady blogging schedule; another goal for my 101 in 1001 days.
Okay, enough chatter! My faves for this week include DIY letter projects I've pinned which I hope to recreate in the future. These are also great ideas if you're in college to put on your dorm room door or hang as wall art.
Pom Pom Letters
Name Monogram
Flower Letter
I love all these designs and wish that I could create them all, but I believe I'll just have to settle for one. Maybe I'll create the others for my sisters or friends in different designs; once all the materials are available here.
Have you carried out any DIYs recently? What do you think about these? Are you on Pinterest? Let me know!
Stay Tuned

DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. (CBS) – The Strath Haven girls' soccer team opened its season in Downingtown against Bishop Shanahan, wearing head gear. They became the first team in the Philadelphia region to voluntarily take this visible step to reduce head injuries from concussions.
It was all their coach's idea.
"We had a lot of concussions the last few years," says Head Coach Gino Miraglia. "Five or six last year and we're just trying to reduce concussions. We'll see if this works."
Every coach worries about player injuries and when it's a player's head, Team Physician Dr. Erik Lake says you can't be too careful.
"A concussion can be really dangerous," says Dr. Lake. "Worst case someone could die from a blow or impact to the head."
So far, no studies are saying head gear reduces concussions, but Strath Haven's Coach Miraglia thought the padded head band he found in use by other soccer teams around the country could help.
"It's padded in the front and on the sides, and absorbs some of the shock from elbow to head or head to head contact," explains Miraglia.
With high school sports becoming more aggressive, aside from football, girls' soccer and girls' lacrosse have the highest rate of concussions, with symptoms like dizziness, vomiting, sensitivity to light and even a decrease in memory.
Dr. Lake says the real concern is for the athlete who returns to a sport after he or she is completely cleared from a first concussion.
That's why Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett signed the "Safety in Youth Sports Act." It requires school coaches to pull players suspected of sustaining a concussion, and not allowing them back on the field until a medical professional clears them.
Most of the girls on the Strath Haven team adapted easily to the new head gear in the pre-season. But Coach Miraglia admits there was a lot of giggling in the beginning especially as they pulled their ponytails through an open port in the top of the head protector.
