Tiger Woods: 15 Things He Needs To Do in Order To Right the ShipMay 31, 2011
Tiger Woods: 15 Things He Needs To Do in Order To Right the Ship
Tiger Woods is far from the dominant force he once was in late 1990s and early 2000s.
However, he's been on the decline since his personal problems became public and his injury troubles kicked in.
He's lost his No. 1 ranking, and is in danger of falling short of a record—Jack Nicklaus' 18 career majors—that appeared well within his reach.
Here are 15 things Woods will need to do in order to get back on the right track.
15. Don't Panic
One thing that Tiger Woods will need not to do is panic.
He's still relatively young at age 35, and will likely have at least another decade of trying to break Jack Nicklaus' record.
As a result, there is no rush for Tiger to alter his entire game in the blink of an eye.
Patience might be something that Woods displays to right the ship.
14. Overlook Golf's Youth Movement
In golf today, the younger class seems to be stepping into the forefront as the contenders for majors while some of the older players are considered washed up.
Jason Daye, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler have highlighted golf's youth movement, and are expected to continue their early career success.
Tiger Woods shouldn't be scared of this youth movement, as he's likely one of the major reasons most of these young guys pursued golf in the first place.
The name "Tiger Woods" is still intimidating, and will carry more weight once he gets his game back together.
13. Fewer Risky Shots
Tiger Woods can no longer rely on overpowering the golf course.
Instead of muscling up and trying to swing out of his shoes, it will be a finesse-type approach that gets Woods back into major contention.
He has to take fewer chances early in rounds and save his risky shots for when he desperately needs them.
Aggressiveness has been a mainstay in Tiger's game since his career started, but it looks like a more controlled attack will get Tiger back where he belongs.
12. Use Caution with Driver
Tiger Woods needs to be careful with his use of his driver.
Golf is such a mental game. Visualizing what you want to do and actually doing it are two different things.
All it takes is a poor tee shot to start Tiger off on the wrong foot. Sometimes, his shot can be so bad that he is unable to save the hole.
Errant starts can result in errant finishes, so Tiger must remain in control.
11. Keep Media Interaction to Minimum
The media is always trying to find out everything about everyone. Such is the nature of the business, but the media are rendered useless if an athlete is conveniently unavailable.
Tiger Woods should keep his interaction with the media at a minimum as he's preparing for upcoming events.
Every question he fields is about his health, his scandal or chasing Jack Nicklaus, so he can alleviate much of the pressure on him if he worries about his game rather than filling headlines.
He'll be able to relax once he wins his next major, and then will gladly be inundated with the media.
10. Get Healthy
If Tiger Woods plan on making a run at Jack Nicklaus' record, he will have to be fully healthy.
Earlier in his career, Woods was known for his vigorous workout programs that many of today's younger golfers have emulated.
However, Tiger should focus on exercises that improve the health of his knee and Achilles' heel rather than pushing himself to the limit.
It's been hypothesized that Tiger's intense workouts throughout the years could have led to his current injury problems.
Either way, a sustained approach to getting fully healthy will benefit Woods.
9. Trust His Swing
Tiger Woods needs to trust his swing.
He has a very powerful yet controlled swing that yields some of the best shots, but also some of the most erratic shots.
Woods is known for being overly critical of himself, and sometimes makes a change just to say he changed something.
He has a tendency to tweak his swing when things aren't going his way. If he can avoid this tendency, he'll develop the consistency that carried him during his period of dominance.
8. Make Some Putts
What happened to the Tiger Woods who used to always drain the clutch putt?
Part of Woods' recent struggles has involved his inability to make easy putts.
Even after he makes an ace shot, a two or three putt washes away his nice approach.
Tiger wears his emotions on his sleeve, so everyone knows when he's unhappy with his performance, especially when it comes to putting.
To get back on the right track, Woods will have put bad putts behind him and not think so much. If he doesn't let his misses get the best of him, he'll begin to find the bottom of the cup on his first try more often.
7. Alter Overall Game
Though it should be a gradual process, Tiger Woods needs to alter his overall game.
As News Oklahoma's Sam Donnellon states, Woods needs to rely on smarter club selection and a more precise placement of shots as way to overcome his health problems.
Tiger's physical strength may have taken a hit, but that doesn't mean his golf skills should suffer as well.
6. Get as Much Practice as Possible
Though he is still recovering from injury, Tiger Woods will have to iron out his game on the actual golf course.
He plans on playing in the U.S. Open, so he will likely try to get as much course time as possible without overdoing it.
Larry Dorman of the New York Times suggests that "less could be more" for Tiger. Dorman cites former golf great Ben Hogan as a player who toned down his training after dealing with an injury. Hogan was in a terrible car accident in 1949.
If Tiger buys into the "less is more" theory, he may preserve himself for another decade of competitive golf.
5. Forget About Clouded Past
Tiger Woods will undoubtedly be followed by the ghosts of his infidelity for the rest of his life.
However, if he can put his clouded past behind him, he will begin the process of regaining his dominance.
While he undoubtedly lost many fans, there are other fans out there that will rally behind him if he shows he's back to his winning ways.
If he can endure through his off the course problems, his game will improve.
4. Lose Negative Attitude
Tiger Woods is the epitome of a perfectionist, but to get back to business, he has to lose the negative attitude.
Though he's always been an emotional player, he has to avoid letting his emotions get the best of him, like his memorable missed put at this year's Masters.
As a result, Tiger turned one bad hole into another and another, and before long he was out of contention.
If the other players see Tiger visually beating himself up, they will take a chance in trying to bury him.
Tiger needs to have a short-term memory in dealing with his poor shots.
3. Regain Confidence
Tiger Woods needs to have confidence in his abilities to bring his game back to its customary level.
He needs to remember who he is: He's Tiger Woods—arguably the greatest golfer/athlete in sports history.
Naturally, there was a ton of hard work along the way, but it was his confidence that allowed him to bury his opponents.
Other golfers still must worry when Tiger's name is on the leader board, despite his injury and personal problems.
2. Win a Major Soon
To prove that he's back in the saddle, Tiger Woods must win a major within the next two years.
Though this isn't imperative, it would show that Woods is back after a brief hiatus.
This would be a huge chip off his shoulders. Woods hasn't won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open.
A major victory in the near future would put the focus back on Tiger's golf game rather than his recent struggles.
1. Strong Showing in U.S. Open
The U.S. Open will be played June 16-19 in Bethesda, MD.
Tiger Woods needs to have a good showing in this tournament. He doesn't have to win it, but he needs to show that he is healthy and ready to compete over the second half of the year.
This will not only be a confidence boost for him, but will also show the young guys that they have to watch out for the game's greatest, despite what the rankings may say.
Slow but steady steps will the key for Tiger in his possible return to greatness.

(Most of these codes will only work if you are a registered player)
Codes dealing with deep space mine fields:
These control then number of torpedoes that are
coveted and laid as a mine field:
"mdh" mine drop half your torps
"mdq" mine drop one quarter of your torps
"md1" mine drop 10 torps
"md2" mine drop 20 torps
"md3" mine drop 30 torps
"md4" mine drop 40 torps
"md5" mine drop 50 torps
"md6" mine drop 60 torps
"md7" mine drop 70 torps
"md8" mine drop 80 torps
"md9" mine drop 90 torps
"md0" mine drop 100 torps
"miN" will lay a minefield in an enemies ID, were N is the ID number of the enemy that you want the mines laid as. N = ( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b) These mines will not effect the enemy race, but they can and will damage you if you fly through the field.
"msc" If you mission is set to mine sweep this code will cause the ship to scoop up the mines and convert them back into torpedoes.
Glory device codes:
"pop" This code will cause the D19 or Saber class starships to EXPLODE after moving, if they have fuel.
"trg" This code will cause the D19 or Saber class starships to EXPLODE after moving, if they have fuel and any cloaked enemy ship is detected.
"HYP" Hyperjump, this will cause a ship that has a hyperjump drive to jump 350 light years and burn 50 KT of fuel. The waypoint of the jumping ship must be greater then 20 LY and the ship must have at least 50 KT of fuel. It is best to set the warp speed to 1 for the jump.
"mkt" Make torpedoes in space. Load your ship up with the items need to build torpedoes and your ship will construct them in space or over a planet. The items needed to build torps include one of each mineral type plus the megacredits required.
Alchemy ship codes:
"ald" Alchemy Duranium. This code will cause an alchemy ship to produce only Duranium.
"alt" Alchemy Tritanium. This code will cause an alchemy ship to produce only tritanium.
"alm" Alchemy Molybdenum. This code will cause an alchemy ship to produce only molybdenum.
Planetary friendly code:
"NUK" causes planet to attack all enemy ships in orbit. (note: some ships are immune to attack)
"ATT" causes planet to attack all enemy ships in orbit that have fuel. (note: some ships are immune to attack)
"bum" beam up megacredits to all ships in ships in orbit (including enemy ships). If more then one ship is in orbit then the megacredits will be split between all the ships.
"con" Configure Message. Have the host send a listing of the current
host configure settings next turn.
"dmp" Dump old parts. If there is a starbase in orbit around this planet then most the parts in the starbases storage bins will be converted back into minerals and dumped to the planets surface. Torpedoes will not be dumped.
Ship to enemy ship transfers:
"btt" Beam Transfer Torps. This code will transfer torpedoes of like type from the ship with this code to all enemy ships at the same point in space that have the same make of torp tube.
"btf" Beam Transfer Fighters. The code will transfer fighters from the ship with this code to all enemy ships at the same point in space that have fighter bays.
"btm" Beam Transfer Megacredits. This code will transfer megacredits from the ship with this code to all enemy ships at the same point in space.
"gsN" Give Ship. This code will give starship to N race, where N is the number/letter code of another race. When the starship has this code the race represented by N will take control of said starship on the next turn. A friendly code of gs1 would give your starship to the Feds on the next turn. The crew becomes crew members of the new controlling race. For this to work there must be an enemy ship belonging to race N with colonists at the same point in space as the ship with the "gsN" friendly. Only registered players can give ships away.
Ship to enemy planet transfers:
"bdm" Beam down Megacredits. This code will dump the megacredits from the ship to the planet that it is in orbit around, no matter who owns the planet.
Other codes:
"lfm" Load fighter minerals. This will load all the minerals and money onboard the ship to build as many fighters as possible and tells the ship to build fighters, regardless of the ships mission. This code will only work for the Robots, Rebels and Colonials.
"cln" Clone. A ship code. This tells the starbase that you own and are in orbit with to make an exact copy of the ship with this code. The starbases' tech levels must be equal to or greater then the ship being cloned. This will in most cases cancel out the normal starship building on the starbase any turn that there is a starship with this code in orbit. The cost of cloning a ship (megacredits) is 200% of the original cost of building the ship. The Privateers and Crystal People can not clone. You can not clone ships that your race can already build. Ships that are being cloned must stay at the starbase. A ship that is being cloned will have its warp speed set to zero.
The money and minerals are beamed directly from the planet to space. The parts stored on the starbase are not used by the cloning process.
"NAL" The alchemy function of a Merlin Class ship can be disabled with a friendly code of "NAL" ( No ALchemy )
"noc" Planet friendly code "noc" disables Config message listing being sent as a message.
"mfX" Universal minefield friendly code setting. A planet with a friendly code beginning with "mf" will cause ALL mine fields belonging to your race to have this code as the mine field friendly code. If you set more than one planet's friendly code first two letters to "mf" the highest ID planet will be used to set the mine field friendly code. The character following "mf" can be any letter or number. Example: If one of your planets friendly code is set to "mfK" then all your mine fields will have the friendly code of "mfK".
"ffX" Locking alliance codes. If a ship sets its friendly code to "ffX" where X is the race code ("123456789ab") that race becomes an ally race. Your mines will not effect them and your ships will not attack theirs. Your ships will never attack their planets. The alliance can be canceled with the ship code "eeX". Once a alliance is set it will stay set until it is canceled. You can see and sweep your friends mines. Web drain will not effect you. The switch ONLY takes place when a ships friendly code is changed. If all your ship friendly codes have been "ff1" for that last few turns and one ship changes its friendly code to "ee1" (Note: it is the only ship changing its code this turn) then race 1 will no longer be considered an ally.
The alliance information will show up in the Priority Build Points message. After the race name, if you see a "!" they have marked you as an ally, if you see a "+" you have marked them as an ally. I.E if you see: Lizards +! : they and you are both friends.
Your mines will not destroy ally mines
"PBx" Which ship is built by PBP's can be ordered by using planet friendly codes "PB1" "PB2" "PB3" "PB4" "PB5" "PB6" "PB7" "PB8" "PB9". A planet with the code "PB1" will build a PBP ship first. (PBP = Priority Build Points)
PBP ignores the normal ship build queue.
PBP does not effect the normal ship build queue.
"PBx" code does not work until there are more than 450 ship in the
Standard Host Friendly Codes

The Catholic Women's Leage (CWL) is a nationwide Catholic organization for women founded in 1919. The MQAP''s CWL unit was organized in 1986.
Living the Eucharist in the Ministry of the Catholic Women's League
We the Catholic Women's League of MQAP envision ourselves
- as a Christian community of disciples
- committed to build God's kingdom on earth and to proclaim the Good News through Charity, Work and Loyalty
We commit ourselves to respond to the challenges of the Church of our times
- through a renewed Integral evangelization going from Gospel to life and life to Gospel (Integral Faith Formation)
- With preferential option for the poor (Empowerment of the Laity)
- Pursuing the advocacy of Christian womanhood, fostering value formation, strengthening families.
The Catholic Women's League was organized a day before the canonical installation of Rev. Fr. Guilio F. Mariani, PIME. The CWL is a charitable, religious, socio-economic, civic, non-political, and non-profit organization through which Catholic women can find a means of growth in Faith and have the opportunity for organized work and concerted effort in the exercise of their vocation and apostolate as the laity. The CWL, whose acronym means Charity, Work, and Loyalty, has for its objectives the following:
· To promote self-sanctification and that of others;
· To unite Catholic women in a national organization for the promotion of the spiritual, moral, educational and socio-economic welfare of the country;
· To provide a medium through which Catholic women may uphold the Faith and act as one in matters affecting the advancement of women and the youth; the sanctity of the home , and the total development of the self, family and community.
· To foster ecumenical relations with other women's organizations on local, regional, and international level.
· To participate in evangelization and the Christian renewal of society as approved by the Church.
During the past years, one of the League's projects is the Free Medical/Dental Clinic which serves poor families living in depressed areas every Sunday. This project was transferred later to the permanent Parish Medical/Dental Clinic.

More poor performers to be named?
Lawmakers, including Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), are calling on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to release the balance of nursing home names on the highly publicized "special-focus facility" list.Last week, CMS named only 54 facilities from the list of 128. The agency reportedly did not disclose the 74 additional facilities because they are new to the list or are showing improvement. Special-focus facilities, because of their poor quality record, are subject to more frequent inspections, with state inspectors visiting every six months rather than once a year.
Also of note: The American Health Care Association, the largest nursing home association in the country, received the names from CMS. It has not released them, however, because of CMS instructions prohibiting public disclosure.

Driving down the road and seeing the flashing red and blue lights in your rearview mirror can put any driver on edge. No one wants to be stopped by police and many people in Maryland end up getting very nervous or agitated if this happens. These reactions can be even more pronounced if a driver may have had a drink or two before getting behind the wheel.
However, having an alcoholic beverage before driving does not necessarily mean you are drunk. In Maryland and nationwide, the legal blood alcohol limit for driving is 0.08 percent. But because police are so focused on making drunk driving arrests, even drivers who are nowhere that limit can end up being suspected of driving while intoxicated. It is important for drivers in this situation to understand what they can expect and what rights they have if and when they are pulled over.
During a traffic stop, officers often look for any sign of impairment. These signs can include blood-shot eyes, nervousness or the smell of alcohol. Individually, these signs may have absolutely nothing to do with being drunk. But if an officer believes there are enough signs to suspect that a driver is drunk, he or she may request the driver to take a breath test.
Drivers have the right to refuse a breath test, but it is important to remember that the refusal to do so can result in a license suspension. But drivers who do not submit to a breath test can make it difficult for an officer to get objective information that can indicate intoxication.
Police may then ask a driver to perform field sobriety tests. Again, a driver can refuse to submit to the testing. These tests are designed to judge impairment, but they are far from perfect. Field sobriety tests judge balance, coordination and the movement of eye muscles. How successfully a person completes these tests is completely subjective, and there are many people who would not even be able to pass the tests sober.
Most importantly, drivers will want to remember that they have the right to speak with an attorney before making statements to police. Drivers should be cooperative and non-confrontational during a traffic stop, but they can request to speak with an attorney before they submit to testing or answer questions.

Kora master player ToumaniDiabate will be holding lessons for the instrument in Paris, France. It will run from the 12th to 18th of October this year. You must no miss this class if you are interested in learning how to play this traditional East African stringed instrument. ToumaniDiabate is one of the foremost Kora players in the history of Mali and even the world. You can sign up for the classes to learn all of the basics of playing the instrument, or if you would like to hone your own techniques of playing the instrument itself. Kora players will learn a lot from taking a class from ToumaniDiabate.
ToumaniDiabate is considered a master of the Kora musical instrument. He also has a history of teaching music as well.He teaches classes at the Bamako Conservatory of Music. So you can rest assured that you are in experienced hands when you attend one of his classes. ToumaniDiabate has had a lot of experience teaching playing the kora instrument to students of all skill levels. This is because he has had a long experience being an actual teacher teaching beginners and amateur players of the Kora, alike. You are bound to be able to learn something if you attend one of his classes in Paris this October.
He is also considered to be one of the best instrumentalists around the world. And ToumaniDiabate has been called the prince of the kora. He has released over twelve albums that all feature him prominently playing the kora. All of these albums have been well-received. And ToumaniDiabate is even more well known for his live performances with the Kora and his orchestra. You can catch a recording of his live performances on YouTube. It is really a treat to get to see the man himself perform live. And when yo attend one of his classes; you are sure to get to see him perform more than once in the class.
Aside from being a professional musician and teacher of music, ToumaniDiabate also works as an ambassador of Mandingo music around the world. He hopes to spread the influence of Mandingo music to different countries, not just East Africa. And that is one of his inspirations for why he wants to spread his lessons of Mandingo music to students in Paris, and other cities around the world. ToumaniDiabate also wants to broaden his own musical horizons by teaching Kora courses that are organized for students that are not living in Mali.
The lessons that are being taught by ToumaniDiabate are open to students of all ages and stages of learning. The price for 1 week of lessons will be 840 euros. Students can also avail of a 1-day lesson for 120 euros. Each day that students pay for will include 3 hours of lessons. The maximum number of days that students can be taught is 7 days. You should register for one of these lessons right now if you want to learn to play the Kora from one of the masters of playing the instrument.

The CDT will have up to 15 funded places available in each cohort. Funding will be subject to normal EPSRC rules. UK and EU students will be eligible for full-fee studentships. In addition, UK students will be eligible for an annual stipend of not less than £14,057 (although some
non-EPSRC funding will also be available to provide stipends for EU students). A number of overseas (non-UK or EU) students may be admitted to the programme, but if accepted will be required to pay full overseas fees for the university at which they are registered.
Places (and funding) will be awarded on a competitive basis, according to academic merit. Successful applicants will typically be expected to have a first class honours degree (or overseas equivalent), or a distinction at Master's level, in Chemistry or a closely related discipline. We also welcome applicants who have secured external funding for all or part of a TMCS studentship (for example from sources listed by findaphd.com).
Up to 4 of the funded places per cohort will be open to students applying to undertake the year 1 CDT training at Oxford before proceeding to a PhD in a University other than Oxford, Bristol or Southampton. Applicants in this category will in due course be required to provide evidence that they will be awarded funding to undertake subsequent doctoral research, in the form of an authorised letter from their 'home' University to the CDT Director, Professor Logan.

If I weren't running my own business I would be: Sad. Or hanging out barefoot on my own organic farm.
To us 1+1 = 3 is really the essence of team work. We know that we can create more, accomplish more, and exceed expectations—our client's, our team's, and our own—when we work together as a group.
When you own your own business, you learn very quickly that people approach situations and challenges very differently. With intelligent, highly-capable people working together to find a solution, we end up with ideas that one person may never have thought of on their own.
At Britt Land, we have daily meetings where we gather and talk about what's happening today or what our hurdles might be or what the week is looking like. We close each meeting by bringing up the energy—we know we're a team here, and we know that when we work together, we can accomplish a lot more.
This philosophy started with my father, Ray. He started Britt Land. Ever since we were young, he told me and my sister Breanne that we can do great things separately, but when we combine and work together, we are unstoppable.
And it's proven to be true.

INDIANAPOLIS — Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
"He did some things. He didn't do everything," Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said. "We'll see how he is tomorrow. I think that will be the big key – how he responds to this today."
Asked how encouraged he was by what Gronkowski did Thursday on his sprained left ankle, Belichick said, "It was good. It was fine. We'll see where he is tomorrow — whether that set him back, whether it didn't and whether he's able to continue to progress on a daily basis. But it was a good test for him, too, at least. At least he was out here and did some things to see how it feels. We'll see how it goes."
The Patriots are hopeful to have the record setter available Sunday when they face the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI.
"It's the Super Bowl, I'm doing everything I can possibly do to get out there," Gronkowski said Thursday morning before taking part in the second half of a two-hour afternoon practice. "I want to be out there no matter what, even if it's not at full speed."
Gronkowski did not practice Wednesday as the Patriots prepare to face the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday.
"Whatever the trainers tell me to do," Gronkowski said. "Obviously, I wasn't able to practice yesterday, but I'm making positive strides."
Working in helmets and shells, the Patriots ran drills inside the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. Belichick said his players had "good energy. They worked hard."
Belichick gave his team a 30-minute break during the middle of practice to mimic the extended halftime coming Sunday.
"We were trying to simulate the best we can," Belichick said. "It's not perfect but it's the best we could do. Practice, take a break, come back out and restart."
Belichick said Friday's practice would be "more review. Obviously, we don't have much new going in. Just kind of making sure everything we have going in we've got right."
Gronkowski was injured in the AFC Championship on Jan. 22. He arrived here in a walking boot but has not worn it in public since Tuesday.
"There's frustration a little bit, but it is what it is right now," Gronkowski said. "I've just got to put that in the back of my mind, just worry about the things I can control."
He denied the team was looking for a special cleated shoe for him to wear.
"I don't know where that (story) came from," he said. "We'll just see what happens when it comes to game time."

Business management software-supplier Sage North America announced that a student edition of its Sage Fund Accounting nonprofit financial management software will ship with the new textbook Government and Not-For-Profit Accounting Concepts and Practices (5th edition). Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and used or evaluated by dozens of colleges, the software enables users of the textbook to set up a fictional government and "enter and post summary transactions and prepare complete sets of fund and government-wide financial statements," according to Sage.
"The world of not-for-profit and government accounting is becoming progressively more complex, due to increasing regulation and reporting requirements," said Michael H. Granof, Ernst & Young professor of accounting at The University of Texas at Austin and coauthor of the textbook, in a statement. "Accounting software specifically developed for this type of accounting can help reduce the burden."
Government and Not-For-Profit Accounting Concepts and Practices is available through Wiley.com and some university bookstores.

As the world's third-richest person and most celebrated investor, Warren Buffett attracts a lot of attention. Thousands try to glean what they can from his thinking processes and track his investments.
We can't know for sure whether Buffett is about to buy Coinstar
Writing in a recent 10-K, Buffett lays out the qualities he looks for in an investment. In addition to adequate size, proven management, and a reasonable valuation, he demands:
- Consistent earnings power.
- Good returns on equity with limited or no debt.
- Management in place.
- Simple, non-techno-mumbo-jumbo businesses.
Although the company is probably too small for Buffett to actually buy, does Coinstar meet Buffett's standards?
1. Earnings power
Buffett is famous for betting on a sure thing. For that reason, he likes to see companies with demonstrated earnings stability.
Let's examine Coinstar's earnings and free cash flow history:
Source: S&P Capital IQ.
It's quite an impressive picture: over the past five years, Coinstar's earnings and free cash flow have become profitable and grown dramatically.
2. Return on equity and debt
Return on equity is a great metric for measuring both management's effectiveness and the strength of a company's competitive advantage or disadvantage -- a classic Buffett consideration. When considering return on equity, it's important to make sure a company doesn't have an enormous debt burden, because that will skew your calculations and make the company look much more efficient than it is.
Coinstar's return on equity has been steadily rising from 6.1% in 2006 to 23.6% today as the company increases scale. Its debt-to-equity ratio is a moderate 71%.
3. Management
CEO Paul Davis has been at the job since 2009. He has worked for several decades in the packaged goods and consumer retail businesses at companies like Frito-Lay, Procter & Gamble, and Kettle Foods before coming to Coinstar.
4. Business
The video rental business has been undergoing extreme technological disruption over the past several years, as more inventory-light companies like Netflix and Coinstar have outcompeted established players like Hollywood Video and Blockbuster. With consumers increasingly choosing to stream video, industry dynamics continue to change.
The Foolish conclusion
So is Coinstar a Buffett stock? Probably not. The company does have growing earnings, as well as high returns on equity with more-or-less limited debt. However, given that we're talking about such a recently profitable company with fresh leadership in a rapidly changing industry, there would probably be too many unknowns for Buffett.

New information comes to appear about the next generation of Intel Atom low-power processor. Carrying the Valleyview code name, they promise a significant increase in graphics performance.
According to Vr-Zone, Valleyview propos,e in its desktop version, a frequency up to 1.9 GHz. With a constraint to maintain a thermal envelope as low as possible (10 Watts?), chances are that the quad-core versions are significantly slower. The graphics, which will be borrowed from Ivy Bridge, should run at a speed twice as important as 667 MHz.
The mobile versions should in turn, lock to a maximum of 1.5 GHz and a dual-core architecture. The TDP will be only 3 Watts with the graphics running at 350MHz or 50MHz lower than the frequency of the N2600 Atom GPU.

Today's feature story at the corrupt Politico is written by Maggie Haberman (you remember her) and, in order to aid and abet the Obama campaign's narrative about how secretive and shady Romney is, the article is titled "The Hidden Mitt." The story is an epic piece of concern-trolling and tells the tale of a presidential candidate who doesn't like to talk about himself, including the many unselfish good deeds he's done throughout his life and the many successes he's enjoyed in both government and the private sector.
Politico just can't understand why Romney doesn't run around the country bragging about himself more. They float the idea that this not-very-smart (in their opinion) political strategy is to keep the focus on Obama, to keep the focus off Mormonism or that it might have something to do with this Bible quote:
Don't do your alms before men, do them in secret, and your Heavenly father will reward you in secret.
Whatever Romney's reason are, Politico trying to bait and lure Romney into becoming Oprah is nothing more than the laying of a trap and reportorial laziness probably brought about by getting out of practice when it comes to *ahem* vetting candidates:
Mitt Romney is a man of faith, successful in business and with the executive experience that comes from running a big state.
A perfect presidential résumé? Pretty close.
Only one problem, as his critics note: Romney doesn't spend much time talking about it.
The presumptive GOP nominee is known for his abilities as a salesman. But Romney has made a calculation against selling three major elements of his background to voters. To some degree, the Republican's campaign has walled off three critical aspects of what makes Mitt Mitt — his Mormon faith and good deeds, details of his experience running Bain Capital and his signature achievement as Massachusetts governor.
The result: a kind of self-imposed paralysis on biographical messaging that some observers, including Republicans, say may wound his campaign in an era in which voters want to achieve a kind of unprecedented intimacy with their candidates. Right at the moment voters are starting to get to know him, he isn't telling them his story.
It's a risky strategy for a candidate in an era of more is more.
Well, everything's a risky strategy at this level and, if Romney has learned nothing from watching the corrupt media systematically whack-a-mole every potential threat to Obama — from private citizens like Joe the Plumber to the years-long campaign to grind a self-made mother of five from Wasilla into dust — it's that you don't give the cretins ammo.
Romney must know that any attempt to discuss his many fine qualities as a private and public citizen will only result in major front page journOlisting stories at Politico and elsewhere about how he got this detail wrong and how he got that detail wrong — and whatever else they can do to keep the focus on Romney The Shady Liar and off an economy that is probably headed towards another recession.
Hey, Politico, how's this for an idea: if you're so curious about Romney's good deeds and successes — why don't you do some reporting on them?
Just an idea.
Oh, yeah — that might help Romney.
But should Romney start talking himself up, you can beat him senseless.
We're on to you and, thankfully, so is our guy.

'Stare Into the Abyss', SITA for short, is a sub-setting of Sciror. This sub-setting advances the timeline past 20,000 AD, after the rise of the Supremacy (human-machine empire), and introduces the 'Psidemic' scenario. Psidemic is a 'grand scenario', an alternate universe version of Sciror. it is one possible future of Sciror. It is very grimdark in flavour, and deals with the fall of the Supremacy, the loss of billions of human colonies, untold deaths of the hands of demons of the Id, and the rise of a new Empire based of Roman mythology.

This is my ideas for the near future development of architecture in the western world (and eventually the rest of the wrold). It's re-imagining city planing into something that makes sense, gives everyone what they want, while also being 'reasonable' enough that many coould suspend their disbelief.

text: Manufacturing didn't die, it evolved. Technology changed the nature of jobs and labor became cheaper elsewhere. And much of the time the workforce didn't evolve, their skills stayed the same and people got left behind. But new manufacturing is back to boom. So if we learn anything from history it's that it need not repeat itself. That's why what's emerging from the rust belts and old industrial areas around the world is so encouraging. Twenty-first century manufacturing is advanced and it's digital. It's not dirty or dull or dangerous. And it's a growth industry, with the potential to employ a lot of people—if they have the skills. And that's how ManpowerGroup and Rockwell Automation plan to lead the way.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Is it acceptable to solicit cash donations to pay for my child's extracurricular school trip from friends, family and business acquaintances? In the event that someone solicited does not reply, is it reasonable to ask again, or should the silence be interpreted as a "no"?
GENTLE READER: Do you have reason to believe that these people have enough interest in your child's extracurricular activities and sufficient discretionary funds that they would welcome the opportunity to contribute?
Would you gladly do the same for their children?
If you cannot say yes to both questions, Miss Manners advises you to refrain from attempting to embarrass them into complying.
But she gathers that you did not refrain. Can you at least refrain now from dunning those who did not respond? Silence does indeed mean "no," if not "Please go away."
Petulant friend
DEAR MISS MANNERS: One of my friends came to visit over a holiday weekend. She lives across the country, so we've mainly kept in touch through email since high school (we are now in our late 20s).
She had plans to see a sports game and go on a bar crawl with several other friends in the city. She did invite me to meet up with the group, but I had to work and I don't drink. We did meet for lunch, though.
I thought we had a nice visit until yesterday, when I received an email from her saying she was very disappointed about our last visit because one of her other friends spent two days with her and I had only met her for lunch. She's also displeased that I haven't made it across the country to visit her.
I work in a hospital, which means 12-hour shifts on weekends and holidays. I have also been in school. I explained that I had to work on a few of the days she would be here (it's very difficult to get time off), but I thought a lunch between her planned activities would be nice. Obviously, this was not enough, because she is now saying she doesn't think it's worth it to just keep in touch via email.
I would like your advice on how to respond to this, and if you think the friendship is worth trying to salvage.
GENTLE READER: A charitable way to look at your friend's critique is that she misses you, made a great effort to see you, and is hoping that you will return the visit so that you can spend some time with her when you are undistracted by work obligations.
Another way to read it is that she dismisses your obligations as unimportant and had refused to heed your warning about them before she made the trip.
It would depend on the tone of the letter, which Miss Manners has not seen. Where was it on the scale between cajoling and scolding?
In either case, you would have to decide whether you want a petulant friend. If you don't, you need not respond. But if you do, your answer should be, "I, too, would like to spend more time together. But as I explained, I don't always have that choice."

It is very crucial to become a data-driven company to achieve success today. But what is a data-driven company? Well, a data-driven company cultivates the culture of regularly using data and business intelligence to make all business decisions. Data, if captured correctly, can help companies in improving operational efficiency, drive new revenues, gain competitive advantages over business rivals, etc. However, achieving these goals is not an easy task.
Let us see some of the essentials that can help you achieve the desired results.
Rely on trustworthy data
It relies on the principle – garbage in, garbage out! To become a data-driven company, it is essential to build trustworthy information, which depends on company's integrity.
Further, the data analysis process as well as the presentation process are as important as the quality of the raw data. For example, if you take incorrect data for processing, the desired results will always turn out to be wrong, which in turn will never benefit your company.
Handle the unstructured data within your company
Unstructured data (including spreadsheets, databases, Word documents, etc.) are spread across various locations from files to servers, personal computers, removable devices, etc. Ensure that you have a right to access, comprehend, and extract the business value from all data and information that is held within your company – including unstructured data.
Apply data science principles while analyzing or interpreting data
Data science is crucial to resolve complex data problems and helps in transforming data into knowledge and information. Data science is an outcome of grabbing a set of specialized skills to work on data, which includes applied mathematics and statistics, computer science, machine learning, etc.
To become a fully data-driven company, it is very important for the business to reach a stage where an organization approaches each decision by analyzing relevant data. However, working with it might be little tricky and therefore, it is advisable to hire data experts who have good hands-on business intelligence consulting services. These data experts can help in incorporating technology, which helps to ease the process. It will also help the employees and departments to adapt to the data-driven culture in a smooth way. It is important to remember that the experts are there to train and provide consultancy. It is the employees who have to drive the usage since they understand their business best.

Still, Cool As… Well it's pretty conceptual really, always wanted to air my views about various news articles I thought were either interesting or so totally out of touch they deserved ridicule but it's still just my own opinion so if you disagree please feel free to challenge it. As you may already know i'm also an avid gamer and love to talk about up and coming releases or simply what we're playing at present. The name came from a great t-shirt my best friend had when we were teenagers so it seemed fitting to try and craft something around that fond memory. It's getting tougher and tougher to talk 'Tech' to people I meet and I'm thankful I work with fellow geeks – some more than others you understand. Watching my girlfriends eyes glaze over when I'm trying to explain the inner workings of PC's or even something as simple as suggesting the presence of dark matter in the universe even though there is still limited proof reminds me that these conversations have to be carefully placed…
Anyhoot I hope you enjoy the blog, I sure welcome your opinions too so don't be shy – post a reply or even get in touch, me and Rich would love to hear from fellow gamers. Contact Details Here

Backpack Farm Agricultural Programs is trying to prove that investing in smallholder agriculture in east Africa is not only one of the most effective long-term means of addressing the recurring drought in the Horn of Africa but also profitable. As the name suggests, the organization's tool of choice is a canvas backpack.
Backpack Farm couples a backpack full of ecologically-sound agro-tech with training on sustainable agriculture practices for farmers in East Africa. (Photo Credit: Bernard Pollack)
Founder Rachel Zedeck first had the idea for Backpack Farm when she got off a plane in South Sudan and saw women farmers carrying 90 kg bags of food aid. She thought that it would be more helpful if they were carrying a bag back home containing irrigation technology, drought-resistant seeds and training manuals that would enable them to become better farmers. Zedeck sold her house and moved to Kenya where she used her savings to launch the for-profit social venture. Backpack Farm currently operates in Kenya and South Sudan and has reached approximately 13,000 smallholders.
Each backpack supplied by the organization contains a soil testing bag, indigenous or drought resistant seed packs, biological crop protection and fertilizer inputs, a drip irrigation system, a filter, water tank, sprayer, training manual, and a crop journal. The backpacks are not small, but they come complete with the tools for dramatically improving crop yields for these farmers.
But Backpack Farm does not simply provide a kit of agricultural inputs. It operates primarily as a training program, stimulating entrepreneurship and teaching ecologically sound agricultural practices. The program works in five phases: assessment and mobilization, specifically supply chain management; training and production; production monitoring and market distribution strategies; risk management; and finally, expansion through reinvestment that ensures transparency, sustainability, and natural expansion within rural communities.
Backpack Farm has yet to receive money from international donors, instead relying on revenue generated through sales of the backpacks to farmers, as well as revenue that comes from its consulting arm. Unlike the profit-driven ethos of most businesses, Backpack Farm hopes to inspire competitors and enlarge its impact to other areas. In fact its training manual is offered free of charge to any organization doing similar work.
The organization's seven franchises in Kenya, which serve as full-time training centers, provide more than 40 different skills-based agriculture and business classes for farmers. The classes are offered for a small fee and the hope is that the farmers will perceive the value of the inputs and training and will earn enough from increased yields to eventually buy the backpacks. Backpack Farm plans to have 20 franchises by the end of year and more to come as they expand beyond Kenya and South Sudan.
Highlighting the value of crops adapted to local conditions and training smallholder farmers in sound agro-ecological practices and entrepreneurship, Backpack Farm holds promise of making lasting change in East Africa.

Artist's Statement
My paintings always reflect the landscape I live in with an emphasis on creating my own viewpoint of what I see and feel through composition, shape and color. The thrill of composing on canvas or paper when you allow your imagination to dictate is very gratifying and challenging. A beautiful pond and gorgeous mountain ranges that always change with the time of day or season dominate this landscape. These are the images that I see every day and are embedded in my memory and direct me throughout the creative process. My love of composing, creating shapes and combining colors are at the heart of everything I paint with many viewers commenting on a certain dreamlike quality or a restrained painterliness in my work. I attribute these comments to my very deep love of this serene but ever changing place I call home.

That is until one of our business associates told us about RF Engineering, sure enough RF and built the samples to test them out and once we signed off they handled all the manufacturing and delivery directly to our customer with our labeling and packaging and the project was a success. The difference is the personal touch the guys at RF put into the project, they weren't happy until we were happy.Ric Simon, Brooklyn, NY

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. That word is love." It's been more than 2,500 years since the Greek playwright Sophocles wrote those words, but scientists have now proved that being in love can actually reduce pain. And they've also shown why. Love may tap into some of our oldest brain pathways, making us feel so euphoric that we ignore pain, according to a recent study at Stanford University and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The scientists found that students in love felt less pain while staring at a picture of their significant others. In addition, love acted through the same brain pathway as several strong painkillers and addictive drugs such as heroin and cocaine. Studying the effect of love on these pathways might not only tell us more about love itself but could also help us find ways to treat both pain and addiction.

In today's world, dancing is very versatile and new dancing styles are coming to be daily. One of such styles is twerking and just hearing the word is synonymous to most of us seeing the image of Miley Cyrus who twerks like it is the sole reason she was born. Most people don't know but the move is actually good for cardio health and t also helps to keep lower body muscles (waist, hips, thighs and legs) in great shape. How to twerk is a question that has been in the minds of many and here is what you need to do to learn and keep up with the likes of Miley and Rihanna.
Step 1:
Do a few sets of Leg presses using low weight for beginners, this helps to build your glutes and strengthen your legs so that you can gain more booty shaking power and endurance.
Step 2:
Dog push ups, aerobics and rear leg extensions will help you strengthen your legs, core, thighs and cut back on the cellulite that may keep your body from moving and bouncing.
Step 3:
A few sets of reverse lunges will boost your leg stamina as they hit the back of the legs giving you the much needed power to twerk.
Step 4:
After all the exercising, now stand in the twerking stance which is with knees slightly bent, legs apart and a straight back. Trace an O- shape with your booty and do rotations for the around the world move. For the booty clap, pop your lower back and stay in tune with music beats. If you are feeling particularly advanced and able, try the brick break where your legs (in half split) lift your booty into the air and them in a full split brings it down.
Step 5:
Lastly dancing is about creativity so move around and be innovative. Also remember twerking is a workout so be careful but enjoy.

Good government sounds like an oxymoron.
Since the Fall men have sought unsuccessfully to govern themselves. Everything created by fallen man, including systems of government, is tainted with sin (pride, selfishness, greed, prejudices, etc.). Human governments promise lift without redemption, justice without covenant, and end up exploiting the masses while enriching those who govern. Power always attracts exploitation.
Therefore, good governance must come from outside of man—which it does for Israel. Good governance is revealed through the laws that God gives Israel:
Laws establishing a cap on owning property, forbidding accumulating wealth at the expense of others, and canceling debt (examples: Sabbath, Seventh year of rest, 50th year of Jubilee)
- No harvesting the corner of fields and vineyards allows the poor and disadvantage an opportunity to obtain needed food (Leviticus 19:9-10)
- The rights of employees, the poor, the neighbor, the handicapped are protected (19:11ff; 25:35-55); while the Bible forbids showing partiality to the poor in judgment (Ex. 23:3), God does provide for the poor and the needy.
- Vineyard owners are prohibited from reaping the harvest of new fruit trees until their fifth year (19:23-25)
- Men are prohibited from prostituting their daughter/s (19:29)
- Mistreatment of the stranger is forbidden (19:33-34)
- Honest weights and scales are to be used (19:36)
- The appointed annual feasts includes a number of weekly celebrations which require days of rest.
Laws protecting family and marriage
- Forbidden sexual practices and the need for self-control (Leviticus 18; 20:10-21)
- Respect for the elderly (19:32)
- Child sacrifice forbidden (20:1-5)
- Honor parents (20:9)
- Marital fidelity (Numbers 5:11-31)
- Purification (12:1-8)
Laws separating the priesthood to a life of service and self-control
- Lev. 10; 21
- Limitations and regulations regarding relationships, life in general (Lev. 10; 21), ownership of property,"I am your portion and your inheritance among the children Israel" (Numbers 18:20), and provision (Num. 18:8-32)
Laws protecting monotheism
- Idolatry forbidden
- Divination forbidden (19:26, 31; 20:6)
Laws valuing God's presence and Israel's redemption
- Seven Feasts/Day of Atonement (ever mindful of the need for covering) – Lev. 23
- Tent of Meeting regulations
Laws elevating justice and retribution for theft (for one example: Ex. 22:1)
Laws protecting communal health
- Contagious diseases
- Treatment of the diseased person
- Prohibition regarding consuming blood (Lev. 13-15; 20:26)
These and the other regulations that God gives Israel remind them that His continued presence in their midst requires holiness in all areas of life. They are unlike the other nations. Theirs is a theocracy, a nation under God's good rule. Theirs is a nation where everyone is valued and thus feels safe. Theirs is a nation where covenant and redemption form their foundation. One nation under God.
To remember His rule, God commands all of Israel to add a blue thread in the tassels of their garments, "And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the LORD and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined" (Numbers 15:39).
God's system of governance is good. They, Israel, are the problem. After receiving the Law and constructing the Tent of Meeting, Israel leaves Sinai. Almost immediately the problem manifests itself in complaining, rebellion, suspicion, and unbelief. Tucked between the two censuses in the book of Numbers are thirty-nine years of restless rebellion. One generation, because of their rebellion, forfeits their entrance into the land of promise. Rebellion and insubordination to God's good governance is costly.
Laws cannot cure what ails Israel. They don't need a new system of government; they need God's mercy—mercy that looks upon substitutionary atonement and pardons iniquity. They need new hearts—hearts that submit to substitutionary atonement and walk in step to the beat of God's law—hearts that surrender to God's good governance. Government from the inside out.
