The Central Connecticut men's track and field team completed its 2013 season with the NCAA Championships East Preliminaries Friday in Greensboro, NC.
Brian Biekert capped off his record-breaking season with his competition in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. The sophomore completed his race in 9:23.59, crossing the finish line 14th in his heat, 40th overall. Biekert holds the CCSU record in the event with his time of 8:59.11 which he set earlier this season at the Larry Ellis Invitational.
Senior Rashad Williams also competed in Friday's competition in the shot put event. Williams, who holds the CCSU outdoor shot put record, did not post a successful throw on the day.
The NCAA Championships East Preliminaries concludes the 2013 season for the Blue Devils, who placed fourth in this season's NEC Championships.

The Inter-American Convention for the Protection and Conservation of Sea Turtles (IAC) celebrates its 10th anniversary with a special meeting of member parties in Bonaire, Netherlands.
This year's meeting of the IAC will give special attention to the problem of bycatch through a memorandum of understanding to be signed between the IAC and the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission. The purpose of the agreement is for both organizations to share information on the problem of unintended catch of marine turtles and to seek mitigating solutions.
"This is an important step for sea turtle conservation because incidental fishing is one of the biggest threats these endangered species face today. We hope to see this agreement transformed into a scaled-up investment in the prevention of marine turtle bycatch by member parties of both Inter-American institutions," says Carlos Drews, Director of WWF's Global Species Programme.
Six of the world's seven marine turtle species inhabit oceanic waters of the American continents, both on their Pacific and Atlantic sides. All six are considered endangered or critically endangered by IUCN. The threats facing these animals range from direct and incidental fishing, habitat loss on nesting beaches, hunting and poaching, to pollution and climate change.
Additional topics on the agenda for the IAC conference include a briefing on the state of marine turtles today, a report from the scientific and consultative committee, a presentation on incidental fishing, a summary by the secretariat of the work done over the past ten years, and the approval of the work plan of the convention for the next two years.
"It is important for all coastal countries of America to participate in the IAC and to agree on measures of protection for sea turtles species across the continent, since these migratory species live throughout our shared waters," says Veronica Caceres, Secretary of the Convention.
Current members of the IAC are: Mexico, United States, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Venezuela, Netherlands, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador and the recently added Chile and Argentina.

text: This past weekend while many PTHS students were enjoying the Blacklight Affair Homecoming festivities, I was driving three hours to Macomb (Western Illinois University) in order to see my favorite band All Time Low with one of my best friends. I wanted to get there really early, so we left Pontiac at 2 PM, (the doors opened at 7 with the show starting at 8), and we made very good time getting there around 4:30. While heading upstairs to the venue we were both thinking that we were the only ones there and even talking back and forth about how embarrassing it was that we'd have to sit outside the door for the next two and a half hours. As soon as we made it to the top of the stairs though we realized that we were far from the only people who had that idea. The line wasn't ridiculously long or anything, but it was definitely a line. We sat at the end of the line and as it got longer and longer, we realized how close to the front we really were. Once everyone picked their tickets up at will call and got their bags checked, we were able to go in. We were originally at about the third row (all standing room) and I couldn't believe how close we were. It's not even that we were in the third row, but that there were literally no barricades or security between us and the stage like there are at most venues. It was surreal until the show started anticipating what it would be like to see them perform this close. Since we got in there around 7:00 and the show itself didn't' start until 8:00, Emily and I started talking to people around us and met some people who we got along really well with. They made room for us in the second row with them so now not only were we close but we were also within touching distance of the band. We were positioned right between Alex (lead singer) and Zack (bassist), and while I would have rather been between Alex and Jack (guitarist), I'm glad we were in the spot that we were because it allowed us to make friends with the people around us. Once the band came out I was still shocked by how close we were. They sounded amazing and played a mixture of new and old songs which was nice. They even let a boy from the audience play the drums with them on stage. The one thing that set this show so much above the Warped Tour show was being so close and being able to reach out and touch the band if they came near us. It was so much fun to watch the band, and it was really nice to meet such cool people who we could potentially meet up with again at future shows. All in all, even though a lot of people gave me a hard time about missing Homecoming, I wouldn't change my decision for anything after having so much fun at the show. While I wish the show and Homecoming had occurred on different days, I was given an opportunity to see my favorite band with one of my best friends and I couldn't pass that up.

High school hockey players still together in timeBy JIM FENNELL
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 21. 2013 8:20PM
MANCHESTER -- It's said a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes that's just not enough.
Take the picture that hangs on a wall in Brady McNulty's bedroom. There are 17 kids in the picture - 16 boys and one girl. They're young -10 and 11 years old - and all dressed up.
They're sitting in a corner of the Ice Den, a hockey arena in Hooksett. They're happy, smiling the smile of kids who just did something special.
A thousand words to tell that story? Forget it.
You see, we're not talking about a story; we're talking about many stories. Every one of those kids in that picture has a different story to tell about it. And most have that picture somewhere easily accessible.
They'll tell stories about the stuff they'd say to each other in the locker room before early-morning practices and about the late-night goofing around in the hotels they stayed in during a weekend trip together.
They'll tell about the time they gathered at the home of one player whose parents were out at the Aloha on Manchester's Hanover Street. They'll tell about going to Canada and having kids come up and ask for their autographs.
They'll tell about watching Austin Sprague eat Pop-Tarts and drink Pepsi and wonder if he ate or drank anything else.
Of course, they'll also talk about the games.
There were so many games. And they won most of them.
They played together for years in the Manchester Regional Youth Hockey Association - some from the time they were 5. But that picture tells the story of when they were members of the Squirt A Flames and it was tough to find a better team at that level in New England.
They won championships in two leagues, the Granite State League and the Dual State League, competing against teams from Massachusetts as well as New Hampshire. They played more than 100 games together and reached the semifinals of the New England regional before losing to their nemesis, Mid Fairfield, Conn.
But here's the thing: For all their stories, there's little talk about who was the best player. Their experience was all about the team, in keeping with the values instilled by their coach, Marty Myers.
Now the head coach of the boys' varsity team at Bedford High School, Myers is a man who rarely points out an individual; everything is in the context of the team.
That hockey season seven winters ago wasn't about the wins; it was about working hard and learning to play as a team. Myers had no power-play units, no penalty killers - just hockey players. Even the goalies split time right down the middle.
The kids bought into that.
"We had a great coach," Sprague said. "He brought us all together."
- - - - - -
SATURDAY's 4:30 p.m. game at JFK Coliseum will be Senior Night, with city rivals Manchester Central and Manchester Memorial facing off in the last game of the NHIAA regular season.
For seven of those seniors - Sprague, Trevor Malmgren, Scott Robidoux and Tyler Stratton of Central, and McNulty, Ethan Pollock and Colin Williamson of Memorial - it may be the last time they are all on the ice together.
It probably never seemed like such a day would ever come, certainly not when they posed together for that picture at the Ice Den. They had just beaten the Seacoast Spartans for the Granite State League squirt title, and their smiles stretched from ear to ear as they huddled in front of the camera.
Boy, do they look different now.
Williamson has a beard. Pollock stands more than 6 feet tall and has long, wavy hair. OK, McNulty kind of looks the same, but you get the idea.
Times change, and so do young hockey players.
- - - - - -
BY THE time they headed off to high school, the former youth-hockey teammates were about to become rivals.
In addition to the Central and Memorial players, three members of the 2006 squirt state champs now play for city rival Trinity, two for Merrimack High and one for Bedford. A few more play at various prep schools.
Almost every one of them continues to play and be successful. Ashley Anctil, the only girl on the 2005-06 team, is one of the top players at Pomfret (Conn.) School, Matt Tufts is at Winchendon (Mass.) School, and Robbie Tuite is at Portsmouth (R.I.) Abbey, but most are still playing in New Hampshire, keys to some of the state's best teams.
Central and Memorial will play for first place in Division I Saturday, while Trinity bids to finish in the top four. Merrimack is leading Division II, with Bedford third.
And those little kids in the picture? They're right in the middle of it all.
Among the alumni from that Squirt A Flames team, Sprague is the leading scorer in Division I, while Connor Powell (Merrimack) is the leading scorer in Division II. Malmgren and Kyle Valliere (Trinity) rank among the top six scorers in Division I, while Pollock, Stratton, McNulty and Mitch Myers (Trinity) are all in the top 20. Kurt Mitchell (Bedford) is eighth in scoring in Division II, and Ryan Slatky (Trinity) and Brett Glendye (Merrimack) are considered two of the top goalies in the state.
All former members of the same youth team.
Memorial's McNulty said Saturday will be filled with emotion. But don't expect sentimentality to get in the way once the puck drops.
"We talk, but when it's game time, it's different. There are no friends out there when we play each other," Central's Sprague said.
"Before the season, we hang out with them a lot more," said Memorial's Williamson of his former teammates. "But when we have to play against them, we don't."
The games will be over soon - all but Powell, Tufts and Mitch Myers are seniors - and the former Squirt A Flames will really start to scatter. They will go to college, with a couple possibly first doing a post-graduate year at prep school or playing junior hockey, but most don't have plans to play beyond the club or adult recreational league level.
The days of hanging out at the rink together will just be memories. Stories to tell.
Maybe that's why Robidoux came back this year to play his final season at Central after taking the past couple of years off.
"When I stopped playing, I realized how much I loved it," he said.
It's tough to break those bonds, most established during those years with the Flames. There have been hours upon hours of shared ice time, miles upon miles of road trips.
You can build up some stories over years. Thousands of them.

A brief explanation of Red Sheriff:
HijackThis Team
Thanks guys, groovicus. Thanks for the info on Red Sheriff.
The problem with the box the log came from is, I believe is unrelated to spyware/adaware. I posted just to rule the possibilty out.
The problem is with an online game (infantry). The lady keeps getting booted from the game with an exessive frame lag error??
Oh well time to use google.
from manufactures help:
I have horrible frame rate playing Infantry. How can I improve my FPS?
Symptoms of low FPS is a choppy-like screen, skipping and sometimes even the monitor freezing up indefinitely. Some of the common modifications include:
Try switching your video mode. Sometimes playing on Windowed Mode provides better FPS than Full Screen, and vise versa. This can be accomplished through the Resolution options outside and in-game. You will have to be using 16-bit color to access Windowed Mode.
Lower your resolution. This typically improves your FPS, especially on very small screen sizes.
Install the latest drivers for your video card and monitor.
Upgrade to the latest version of DirectX.
Under View -> Advanced Options at the Zone Selection Screen, make checkboxes beside: Show Frame Rate, Render when window is in background, Triple Buffer, and Avoid Page Flipping. This is not guaranteed to work, however. Play around with the settings if required to see what is best for you.
In-game, goto: Main Menu -> Options -> Graphic Options. Make the following changes:
Fake Alpha Blending - Yes
View line-of-sight - Never
View Line-of-sight Blended - No
Obscuring Wall Display - Solid
Show All Thrust/Smoke - No
Show Weapon Trails - No (NOTE: Yes will make the game look better)
Show Banners - No
Energy Bar - Off
Again, play around and see what works.

If these Gators go 16-2 or 15-3 or whatever it takes to win the conference, that's all that really matters.
Maybe I paid more attention to things on the television during my two weeks of downtime while my new hip settled into its socket. (For example, I had no idea how many times "The New Adventures of Old Christine" is on the air in a given day.) And most of you would probably tell me I should be used to "jump-the-gun" analysis from ESPN's family of networks.
But it was during the Florida-Georgia game Wednesday night that they flashed it — the fact that no team in the SEC has ever gone 18-0 in conference games.
At the time, Florida was struggling with Georgia, but that's not why it startled me. It startled me because it's crazy to think about any team going undefeated in conference play in any conference. And it's even crazier to worry about it.
I'm sure it's not on the mind of Billy Donovan. He knows how easy it is to walk into an opponent's arena with the better team and get overwhelmed by white noise and fan sweat. And he also knows that the only goal right now is to win the SEC. If these Gators go 16-2 or 15-3 or whatever it takes to win the conference, that's all that really matters.
This is a basketball program that — for all its success under Donovan — has only five SEC titles in its history (four of them under Donovan). SEC championships may be blase at Kentucky, but not here.
I get why it has been and will be talked about. It has been 21 years since any SEC team could go 18-0. In 1991, the league last played 18 conference games but switched to 16 when the SEC went to 12 teams to accommodate an SEC football championship game.
The result was that many of the conference's coaches used those two extra non-conference games to pad their win totals and — and I know I'm way out on a limb here — I believe that the soft scheduling eventually took its toll on the league and turned it into mush.
But that's another story for another time.
You're going to hear a lot about this 18-0 stuff if Florida gets past Mississippi State, especially because it could set up a battle of unbeatens next Saturday night when Florida faces the other SEC unbeaten — Ole Miss.
Florida is a veteran team, which is always good for dealing with expectations. There isn't a whole lot that Kenny Boynton and Erik Murphy haven't seen during their four years at UF. The Gators also benefit from not having one guy who you can shut down and stifle their offense. Kill the head? Which head?
Oh, and I like their coach. Donovan keeps getting better. (This is where Jimmy Dykes or some other talking head usually inserts the, "He's not Billy the Kid any more. He's Billy, the dean of SEC coaches." That was cliche four years ago.)
I remember a conversation I had with Donovan after the 2007-08 season. That Gator team was the first in 10 years not to make the NCAA Tournament. It was following a team that had won two straight national titles.
"Dools, I feel like we had to start all over again," he said.
That's never easy. When the Oh-Fours left, they took with them not only tons of talent, but experience and basketball IQ. Donovan had to start from scratch and it took him awhile to get the right chemistry. We've seen it the last two years with runs to the Elite Eight. And we're seeing it again this year with a team that is embarrassing SEC opponents.
But that comes with a caveat. We all know the SEC isn't very good. After two weeks of watching every college basketball game that was on the tube, I can tell you that is a correct assessment. I believe the conference is getting better. And for many of those teams, beating Florida would make their season.
It's similar to beating Kentucky. The Wildcats are struggling, and we all know why. Last year was the perfect storm because John Calipari was able to mix an incredible freshman class with veterans who were hungry and knew what was coming. This year, it's just a bunch of talented kids who don't get it yet.
But it doesn't matter when they put that Kentucky jersey on. Everyone wants to beat the 'Cats.
Florida's brand has grown so much under Donovan that it's a big deal to beat the Gators as well. You're not only beating a top-10 team with an unbeaten conference record and an impressive RPI, you're beating the team that won two NCAA titles not that long ago.
That's why it will be tough from here on out. Don't forget, the SEC schedule is always back-ended for UF (two games v. Kentucky, Ole Miss and Alabama at home, Missouri on the road).
And this is still a team with a seven-man rotation with two of the seven (Murphy and Will Yeguete) playing through injuries. Even when Casey Prather comes back, this team is eventually going to hit a wall because of all of the minutes that have been played.
Still, a 5-0 SEC start has set them up to do something special.
But it's not about winning them all. It's about winning enough.
That's all that really matters.

We've been baking memories at our shop in Denville, NJ for nearly 10 years and are so fortunate to have the most supportive customers!
Hi Anne & everyone at Pink Cake Box.
I wanted to let you know that the Graduation Cupcake Tower you made for us was a huge success with our 96 guests!
Because of its beauty, the catering hall suggested that we put the tower out right away so it could be admired throughout the night. Well, it was more than just admired! The wait staff had to keep people away from it because everyone wanted the cupcakes right away!
Along with the cupcakes, we had a dessert buffet with lots of cookies, brownies, bread pudding, chocolate fountain, ice cream sundae and milkshake bar, cotton candy machine, and a candy buffet table. While the hall was setting up for the dessert bar, our guests started to line up, swarming the cupcake area. It was crazy!
Since it was a 5-hour event with a cocktail hour, crepes stations, and full dinner buffet and drinks (along with the dessert bar), I thankfully had the foresight to bring cupcake bags. I was afraid everyone would be so full at the end of the night that they would just take 1 bite of cupcake and leave it, and for something so beautiful and tasty, I couldn't bare to see that happen. So, I gave out the cupcake bags, and everyone was beyond excited. The cupcakes all tasted delicious and the next day, guests were emailing me to say they were still enjoying their cupcakes at home.
Oh, and when the guest of honor saw a little figure on the top cake that looked like her wearing her dress, she squealed with delight! We had kept it a secret to surprise her (she thought there would be just the cupcakes).
Thank you so much for making such a beautiful and memorable creation for our party and for giving our guests such a delicious treat to end the night with. I would definitely highly recommend Pink Cake Box to all my friends or to anyone who asks where I got these from! And I absolutely look forward to ordering more creations from you in the future.

We were contacted recently by Jason Dorshorst, of Plover, Wisconsin, with a photo
of a very nice buck taken from a ground blind. The buck was shot just north of Iola,
The remarkable thing about this hunt wasn't the deer — though it is a very good buck
with 11 points, weighing 200 pounds and rough scoring 155 gross (151 net) with a 23-inch
inside spread. No, what's remarkable was the hunter: That's because Dorshorst — who
was injured in a motorcycle accident and became a paraplegic — was hunting at ground
level, in a blind, from his wheelchair.
Taking big bucks can be challenging enough, but few can understand the unique challenges
Dorshorst has overcome to stay in the game and successfully take trophy deer. Great
job, Jason.

STOCKTON - Darkness had yet to lift and a chill pierced the bones as 30 police officers and Chief Eric Jones gathered in the parking lot of a north Stockton restaurant early Christmas morning.
STOCKTON - Darkness had yet to lift and a chill pierced the bones as 30 police officers and Chief Eric Jones gathered in the parking lot of a north Stockton restaurant early Christmas morning.
One officer, one volunteer and a black cadaver dog named Hailey all were dressed as Santa.
Policemen who have been pushed to the brink by Stockton's crime epidemic loaded donated toys, games, stuffed animals and children's bicycles into the backs of pickups.
A police chaplain led a prayer.
And then, two separate entourages split up for a feel-good morning at the tail end of a feel-bad year. Continuing a tradition dating to 2000 - a ritual Jones says "continues to build bridges between police and the community" - the officers spent Christmas morning delivering gifts to the youngest victims of Stockton's unrelentingly violent 2012.
"The generosity of this community never ceases to amaze me," said Sgt. Pete Smith, whose late brother, Officer Matthew Smith, was deeply involved in the gift-giving event before his death from cancer two years ago at 54.
The first stop Tuesday morning was in east Stockton. A line of pickups and police cars and a paddy wagon poured into the neighborhood, blaring sirens, rousing several residents from holiday slumber.
The purpose of the visit was to deliver some cheer to 9-year-old David O'Brien, who took two gunshots in his arm on a Saturday night in October when he and his uncle were in the wrong place at the wrong time during a gun battle that left a 20-year-old man dead near Morada Lane.
David, who received a new bicycle and helmet from the police, showed off his scars to anyone who asked. His mother, Aliesha, became emotional.
"There are good people out there," she said. "After all this happened, there are still good people out there."
Not many blocks away, the gift givers stopped by the residence of Miguel Sanchez, Kristy Reich and their two young boys. Sanchez is still shaken two months after an armed robber told him to get on his knees and stuck a gun against his neck.
The robber made off with money and jewelry but listened to Sanchez's pleas for his life and did not physically harm him.
For this reason and because of the toys police brought his boys, it made sense when the choked-up Sanchez called himself "a sweepstakes winner."
At a housing development off Country Club Boulevard, residents nervously crept out of their apartments when the raucous police posse arrived. One man joked, "I thought they were coming to get me."
Instead, police had come to brighten the day for 23-year-old Mary Scott and her three young boys. Earlier this month, Scott's family was displaced by a house fire. For a while, she did not know what she would do or where she would end up living.
Christmas morning, Scott and her boys were visiting her sister when police arrived with a bicycle, toys, clothing and blankets.
"It just feels good that my boys will be able to have Christmas after all," said Scott, adding that she has found a new apartment for her family.
A visit to a duplex near Pixie Woods had a personal meaning for Santa Claus, masterfully portrayed by Frank Guerrero, a volunteer with the police department's youth activities organization.
When the door opened, Guerrero's sister, Patricia, was on the other side.
It has been eight months since Patricia's 25-year-old son, Michael, was gunned down in south Stockton. Her pain is still raw.
Patricia is raising Michael's seven children, and with her Santa-clad brother directing traffic, officers toted in what seemed like half of the toy department at Target. Patricia quietly sobbed and didn't try to stop.
"This is the first Christmas without him," she said. "It's really hard. Looking into his kids' faces, they all look like him. If he was here right now, I would tell him I love him and 'Merry Christmas.' "

Yogi Bhajan Lecture: Uplift Others
In this inspiring lecture, Yogi Bhajan talks about the power to uplift other people, and what it means to be Pioneers in the Age of Aquarius.
Excerpts from a lecture at Summer Solstice, Guru Ram Das Puri, New Mexico, 6/20/93
You have come here from all the lands, and you will keep on coming here from all the lands for centuries to come. This land has its karma and this land has its dharma to enrich you whenever you come here, as it has done for centuries. It has a practice, it has a habit, and it has blessings. It is the dwelling place of the guardian souls of this planet.
This path belongs to those who are not cold, whose hearts have not become stone, and whose heads have not become so swollen that they can't hear the voice of the soul. This path will belong to those who, with all their strengths and weaknesses, will still serve others. And I promise you that those who shall serve others, the Almighty God shall have no power but to serve them, that is the only way. Your power is not in your strength and weakness, in your show and your capacity, in your titles and your achievements, in your money, and in your playing games. Your power is to uplift others. Those who uplift others, God shall uplift them, because it is God's Will to uplift everybody. When you live in your Godliness, He will not let you fall.
We are all pioneers in the Age of Aquarius. No man can give a man anything other than love. No man can give a man anything other than hope. No man can give a man anything but service. The only thing you can do is act like a forklift—go into the dirt and lift the other person and put him on track, so he can proceed. You will ask me the question, "If I start doing that all the time, what will happen to me?" Then the big forklift called God will come, and He will go into the dirt and lift you up. Is there a better deal than that?
Please remember, we are here to start an era, to start an Age, to celebrate the transition from the Piscean Age into the Aquarian Age. We are here to celebrate that. We are the pioneers. We are the pioneers of the Dharma. Let's bow our heads in prayer and let us open our hearts. Let us walk on this blessed land for a few days in spirit. With these words, with your likes and dislikes, your loves and hatreds, your affection and understanding, I hope you will carry the Guru's words to all the lands, cross the boundaries which have never been crossed, touch the boundaries which have never been touched, walk into hearts which have never been open, shake hands which hate to be shaken, go and bring people out of their holes so they can be holy, and pull people out of their heights, so they can save their height in the eyes of God.
You should be smart, learn the art, and go across the world and heal God's creation. This is your job, and what you are actually going to say is, "Hail, hail Guru Ram Das and heal the world." Your job is to heal the world and elevate and uplift everybody. Everybody shall be healed. Take a person from his lower self, from his ditch, and raise the pitch so he can be uplifted. The mantra of the Age of Aquarius is "Keep Up." Help keep everybody up. When you never let yourself down and never let anybody else down, God shall serve you. He shall never let you down.
May God guide you on this path. May you understand that you are blessed children and you have a job to do. May you know in your heart that God belongs to you always, within and without. May your sorrows never touch your tomorrow, may your blessings be for all, may your happiness be shared, and may your smiles give hope to others.

German Authorities Search For Mystery Naked Motorcyclist
Updated Thursday 4:53 p.m. (EST)
The video, which was available on youtube earlier today has since been taken down due to a violation of their policy on nudity and sexuality. However, the video is available here! Enjoy!
It's a bird ... it's a plane ... nope, it's just a ridiculously hot naked dude riding his motorcycle around the streets of Germany. Did we mention naked (and by the looks of it, cold)? We're not mad in the least, but it looks like the German police are.
According to a report by Gawker:
German authorities are searching for a naked motorcyclist who went for a ride through Münster wearing nothing but a helmet and gloves.
The stunt appears to have originated on Facebook, where the man — posting under the handle "Ballerboyz" offered to ride naked through the town's Christmas market if 1,000 people liked his post.
Which he did, earlier this month.
Now, police say they are "attempting to identify the rider for potential charges."
Adding insult to injury, German officials are calling it a "petty offense." (Don't they know it's cold in Germany?)
At least one onlooker appreciated the ballsy move — "It was not unappetizing to watch," Birgit Weusthoff-Schulze told the Westfälische Nachrichten.
Talk about ridin' dirty! Are you in support of the naked motorcyclist, Instincters, or should the police shut him down?
Image and Video Source. (h/t: gawker.com)
Back in the 1970's 'streaking' was very popular - and it was an offense. However, I think in the grand scheme of things - we should be applauding the guts to cycle nude in the winter. And with so many other crimes that are violent in nature - certainly time spent to prevent or to solve those crimes would be time better spent.

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — A police officer in Honduras has allegedly killed five fellow officers in a confused shooting incident at a police station in the northern city of La Ceiba.
The assistant commissioner of Honduran police says there appears to have been some sort of dispute between the officers.
Assistant commissioner Kelsin Arteaga says the suspect in the shootings has been detained. Arteaga told the local HRN television network Monday that an investigation is under way into the possible motives in the shooting.
Honduras' police force is plagued by corruption, and the Central American nation struggles with drug trafficking and a homicide rate of about 91 per 100,000 inhabitants, the highest in the world.

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Ericsson expects cut-throat competition between telecoms equipment makers as China prepares to spend billions of dollars on high-speed networks, punishing margins at a time when profitability is already under pressure.
A decade-long price war launched by Chinese vendors Huawei and ZTE has already forced suppliers like Nortel and Motorola out of the market while smaller players like Alcatel-Lucent are mired in losses.
Equipment makers hoping the roll-out of 4G - also known as LTE - networks in China later this year will ease industry problems will be disappointed.
Projects to roll out networks across a country tend to have a higher proportion of hardware to software content and are less profitable than projects to upgrade existing networks, which have the opposite mix.
"It is a new coverage project to deploy LTE and of course we know ... coverage projects have lower profitability," Johan Wibergh, head of Ericsson's Networks unit, told Reuters earlier this week.
China's three mobile operators - China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom - plan to spend a combined 345 billion yuan ($56 billion) this year on network upgrades and 4G.
China Mobile plans to plough 41.7 billion yuan ($6.75 billion) this year into 200,000 4G base stations in order to provide services for its 710 million customers - more than twice as many as there are people in the U.S.
Wibergh said such flagship projects would attract fierce competition from vendors, including China's domestic giants Huawei - the world's second biggest vendor after Ericsson - and ZTE.
Outside China, however, Wibergh saw some relief from years of price pressure and said the company had raised its prices in 2012, though not by much.
Struggling vendors have less appetite now for margin-sapping price wars, he added.
"I think the worst is behind us," he said. "I think everyone needs some kind of stability in this industry."

Swiss beat Latvians 1-0 with 7.9 seconds left
Feb. 12, 2014
SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Switzerland has had some success in Olympic hockey, thriving as underdogs. As a heavy favorite, the Swiss needed a lucky break Wednesday to avoid being pushed to overtime by lightly regarded Latvia.
Simon Moser was credited with a goal that caromed off Latvian defenseman Georgijs Pujacs in front of the net with 7.9 seconds left in the game, lifting Switzerland to a 1-0 win in the Olympic opener for both teams.
"The puck bounced our way at the end," said Swiss coach Sean Simpson.
Latvia's Edgars Masalskis made 38 saves, stopping shots with every part of his body and going down briefly after taking a knee to the head early in the game. The Kontinental Hockey League goaltender and four-time Olympian blocked a shot with his face mask and had it knocked off his head after a goal-mouth scramble.
"He played unbelievable and was the best player on the ice," Latvian forward Zemgus Girgensons said.
Girgensons, who was drafted 14th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in 2012, is the only Latvian player from the NHL. The Swiss have eight players from the league, including one-time All-Star goaltender Jonas Hiller.
"In the end, it doesn't matter how many NHL players you have at the Olympics," the 20-year-old Girgensons said.
A hot goalie, from any league, after all, can boost any team's chances in the tournament.
Still, Latvia hasn't lasted longer than the preliminary round in the previous three Olympics, finishing 12th in the last two and ninth in 2002. The best the country, which broke away from the Soviet Union in 1991 and has a population of just about 2 million, can point to is pushing the Czechs to overtime in a playoff qualification match in Vancouver.
"For a country of this size to go to four Olympic games in a row is an accomplishment, but now you have to take the next step to do something magical," said Latvia's coach Ted Nolan, who also leads the NHL's Sabres. "That's what the Olympic games are all about."
Following a preliminary round in which each of the 12 nations play three teams in group competition, the top four teams move on and the remaining eight get one shot to advance to the medal round.
"This is not one and done," Nolan said. "Everybody gets a fourth game. If you win the fourth game, you never know."
The Swiss advanced to the quarterfinals in 2006 and 2010, and they have a chance to upset some teams with more talent simply because they have Hiller of the NHL-leading Anaheim Ducks in net. He made 21 saves against the offensively challenged Latvians, including some key stops that kept his team from the upset.
"In the Olympics, there are no easy games," he said. "We got lucky at the end."
Switzerland, without Hiller, was more than fortunate when it earned a surprising silver medal in last year's world championships as Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi was named the tournament's most valuable player.
That has Swiss fans wanting more than a solid showing in Sochi.
"The expectations in Switzerland are through the roof," Simpson said.

Rural Hospitals Feel Pinch
Financially Strapped Facilities Squeezed Further by Medicare Changes, Dwindling Government Subsidies
BELHAVEN, N.C.—Last year, 12 people here, including the pastor of the town's Methodist church, were treated for heart attacks at Vidant Pungo Hospital, a local landmark that is a quick walk from the town's main traffic light.
And in the middle of one recent night, Arthur Bonner, a 63-year-old retired salesman, drove himself to the emergency room with a debilitating attack of gout. "I was in serious pain that you can't even imagine," he said....

Rail workers have been helping wildlife trust volunteers with essential maintenance at at nature reserve in Shipley.
Workers from Derby firm Carillion Rail in Derby have joined staff from Derbyshire Wildlife Trust when they carried out essential habitat management work at its Woodside Nature Reserve.
Twenty-five Carillion workers joined forces with the trust's volunteers as part of the company's Give and Gain Day.
They helped clear scrub from one of the reserve's fields, which is home to a variety of butterfly and moth species, including the rare dingy skipper moth.
Woodside Nature Reserve is the largest nature reserve in Derbyshire outside the Peak District National Park and is next to Shipley Country Park.
The trust is managing part of the reserve as a working farm with grazing livestock, and sheep will now be able to graze the area cleared to prevent scrub growing back and shading out the wildflowers and bare ground that provide important habitats for the insects .
It is the second work day Carillion staff have taken part in. In September they helped clear non-native rhododendron from Lea Wood, near Cromford.
The working farm initiative has attracted some criticism from people who use the area, who claimed it would impact on wildlife.
. Reserves Officer Kate Lemon explains: "The help from Carillion was invaluable – we completed our task in half the time it would normally take us with our own volunteers. Having extra manpower was so helpful – and Carillion also helped secure donations of tools and equipment from its own suppliers, which we have been able to keep, and came up with a generous cash donation too. Support like this makes a real difference, and we are very grateful to everyone at Carillion Rail who has helped us."
James Steele from Carillion Rail said: "Becoming a corporate sponsor with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has enabled the rail team to fulfil its community engagement requirements by undertaking a number of exciting projects. We have built a strong relationship with the reserve officers and have been able to support them over and above what has been asked for. Our new values "We Care, We achieve together, We improve, We deliver" have helped local communities in providing them with nature reserves to enjoy for years to come. We are busy planning more exciting projects throughout 2014 and will look forward to joining the reserve team back at Lea Wood in September."

Under a bill that passed the Senate's Community Affairs Committee on Tuesday, craft brewers will finally be able to sell their concoctions in 64 ounce containers that are legal in 47 other states and popular for home consumption.
Unfortunately, in exchange, the bill requires that before the specialty brewers can sell to their customers, they would first have to sell to distributors, who would then sell the beer back at a markup to the brewers, even if the beer never leaves the establishment.
"It comes down to, we want a simple bottle size, 64 ounces, that's it, it's very simple," said Josh Aubuchon, a Holland & Knight lobbyist who represents the Florida Brewers Guild, a consortium that counts 90 local breweries in Florida, including 28 in the Tampa Bay region. "And instead you have these other forces wanting to pull this red tape and this bureaucratic nonsense on breweries that are growing at a very healthy rate...It's ludicrous."
By an 8-1 vote, SB 1714 passed with help from its sponsor, Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland. Yes, craft breweries would have to sell the beers they produce to a distributor, and then buy them back, but Stargel said that's meant to protect the industry's three-tier system: manufacturer, distributor, vendor.
"The reason why we have the distribution system is to make sure that we have some certainty in what beer has been brewed and what beer has gone into the vendor system because each step alonog the way there are various taxes collected," said Stargel, sounding quite unlike the small government, anti-regulation Republican she is. "The three tier system was established so that we had very trackable brew through the process. We know how much beer is brewed, it then goes to the distribution center and basically comes to rest so we know how much beer is there, the level of taxation there, and then there's the beer that goes out to the vendors. In it's purest form, the three tier system says you can't be more than one of those. Either you're a brewer, either you're a distributor, either you're a vendor."
Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, was the only no vote and likened Stargel's proposed "distribution" system to paying off crime syndicates. He proposed an amendment that would require distributors to actually buy the beer and move it to their warehouse before delivering it back to the brewer to sell to the customer.
"If (brewers) are going to have to pay this tariff, sort of like protection to Vinny in New York, then they should at least have to move the goods," he said.
But the committee voted against the amendment. Latvala then tried some fancy manuevering to kill the bill. Although he spoke out against it, Latvala initially voted for it. But then he made a motion to reconsider the bill, which he could since he was on the prevailing side of the vote.
Yet rather than delay a vote, holding it for another meeting, Sen. John Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, moved that the bill be considered "instanter", which means "immediately."
When the committee voted a second time on the bill, Latvala voted no. Afterward, he walked over to Thrasher clutching a rules book. As the meeting continued, the two men huddled and whispered.
Finally, Latvala walked away, but not before telling Thrasher: "You don't make up the rules."
Latvala was gone by meeting's end. Thrasher was still there.
"He didn't want to vote on it," said Thrasher, who happens to be the Senate's Rules chairman. "He thought by reconsidering, it would leave it in the committee, which would mean the bill is dead effectively because we're not meeting."
If anything, the series of events underscores the might of Big Beer. Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, has already told the Associated Press that he supports the bill as a favor to Anheuser-Busch InBev distributor Lewis Bear, a major GOP donor.
And distributors are already contributing heavily to Stargel's campaign finances. According to the Florida Division of Elections records of her 2016 Senate race, Stargel collected at least $6,000 from beer distributors since late last year, or about 12 percent of her total.
Last month, Aubuchon lobbied to water down a similar measure in the House. But the Senate version now only has one committee stop left, Rules and Calendar, before it's up for a full Senate vote.

CIIS celebrates the release of volume 3 of its inter-arts journal Mission at Tenth, the Double Helix issue, on Saturday, March 31. The event will be held in Namaste Hall at the CIIS Main Building from 6-7:30 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Mission at Tenth is produced by students in the MFA programs of the Writing, Consciousness and Creative Inquiry Department. Volume 3 features work by poets Jane Hirshfield and Pireeni Sundaralingam; "Action Architect" and MacArthur genius Elizabeth Streb; Exploratorium "Vision" prize winner Meeson Pae Yang; and "Robopocalypse" author Daniel H. Wilson. The "double helix" theme was suggested in an MFA talk last year by adventure writer Julia Whitty. Asked by a student to reveal the source of inspiration for her work, Whitty answered that she found it in "the deep scatter of science and art."
The event will include a panel of contributors: photographer Barbara Parmet, videographer Zig Gron, muralist/performance artist Johanna Poethig, and science writer, co-author of "How to Defeat Your Own Clone," Terry D. Johnson. Panelists will be interviewed by MFA students in the Editing and Publishing class, and introduced by magazine editor Randall Babtkis. Neil Freese, art director of the journal, will offer a short how-to on the QR codes featured in Mission at Tenth. Panelists will also take questions from the audience.
The first volume of Mission at Tenth, the Leaky Pen issue, was published in spring 2009; the Hieroglyph Issue followed in spring 2011, featuring work by Angelica Muro, Alonzo King, Vicente Aleixandre, Rabindranath Tagore, Quincy Troupe, Diane Di Prima, and others. Volume 4, the East/West issue, is planned for a spring 2013 release and submissions will open on June 1, 2012. For more information, write to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Donnie McClurkin, "Duets" (RCA Inspiration)
Donnie McClurkin's vocals continue to soar smoothly on his sixth studio album, "Duets."
McClurkin, a three-time Grammy winner best known for the 2000 hit "We Fall Down," collaborates with a strong supporting cast on this impressive piece of soul-pleasing work. The 10-track set features some of gospel's top artists, including Marvin Sapp, Tye Tribbett, Israel Houghton and McClurkin's cousin, John P. Kee. "Duets" even features Tina and Erica Campbell of Mary Mary on separate songs.
McClurkin offers inspirational messages of maintaining a winning attitude on the Tribbett-assisted "We Are Victorious," learning how to appreciate others more on "All About the Love" and living a stress-free life on the standout track, "Let It Go," featuring Dorinda Clark-Cole.
On "Come as You Are," McClurkin, Sapp, Houghton and New Breed Africa sing about making a life-changing leap of faith. "My Past" is an eight-plus minute track on moving beyond mistakes and learning from them.
From mid to upbeat praise and worship tunes, McClurkin certainly hits the mark with this one.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, the only incumbent senator to lose re-election this fall, is urging the GOP to make a stronger push for support from women, minorities and moderates like himself.
Returning to the Senate for the first session since last week's election, Brown said Tuesday that he hopes Republicans in the future will be a more tolerant, open-minded party.
Brown says moderates such as himself and retiring GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine are a vanishing breed in Washington, despite sometimes playing a key role in bridging the partisan divide.
Brown lost to consumer advocate Elizabeth Warren in one of the 2012 election's marquee races.
Brown's win in the 2010 special election for the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's seat stunned Democrats.

Signature: Signed and numbered, verso
In her darkly fanciful photographs, Lori Nix refracts our world in urban and rural scenes largely absent of humans, and threatened by manmade disasters or the forces of nature. As she explains: "I create photographs that depict our failing future and the demise of humanity, though I temper it with subtle humor." Working in series, and with an 8-by-10 camera and film, Nix begins by crafting painstakingly detailed dioramas. She shoots only what she builds, based on her surroundings and inspired by the Hudson River School, current events, science fiction, and 1970s "disaster flicks." In "Accidentally Kansas" (1998-2000), her first series, she recreated the rural Midwest in microcosm, showing its communities ravaged by ice storms and tornadoes, menaced by modern technology. In her most recent project, The City (2005-11), Nix presents visions of a decaying New York overtaken by nature.

Pembroke, NC – In Sunday afternoon softball action, sophomore hurler Nicole McCorkle tossed a two-hit shutout and struck out 11 batters en route to a 2-0 game one win over the Cobras of Coker College. The Braves went on to complete the doubleheader sweep of Coker with an 11-5 win in game two. Catcher Wendi Cochran (pictured) delivered a two-out two-run single in the fourth inning that proved to be the game-winning hit. UNCP improves to 4-0 on the season, while Coker now stands at 2-2 overall.
It was all McCorkle in game one as the talented pitcher again dominated on the mound, taking a perfect game into the fifth inning. CC's Nicole Crider then delivered the Cobras first of two hits, only to see McCorkle force a pop-up and tally yet another strikeout to end any scoring threat.
The Braves received all the offense they would need in the bottom of the third. Freshman Katie Linkous led off with a double and scored on a Danielle Peters RBI-single to left field. An error allowed Peters to advance to third, and Debbie Aquiar gave Pembroke a 2-0 lead on the very next pitch with an RBI-groundout.
Game two saw Coker jump out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. After UNCP starter Amanda Busch struck out the first two batters she faced, Coker strung together three consecutive hits by Jessica Blackwell, Crider, and Kimberly Atkinson. Those, coupled with a Braves error, allowed for the early Cobra advantage.
Pembroke answered quickly in the bottom half of the inning. Aguiar walked and eventually scored on a throwing error. With two outs, senior Jessica Furlough ripped a single up the middle. Meredith Veglia then connected on the Braves' first homer of the season, a two-run blast to centerfield that gave UNCP a 3-2 lead.
The Cobras used two hits and two errors in the second to push across two runs and retake the lead at 4-3, but it was shortlived as the Braves plated a run in both the second and third innings for a 5-4 advantage.

Chris Pine Jets to Milan for Giorgio Armani Fashion Show!
Chris Pine looks mighty fine in a suit while attending the Giorgio Armani Show held during 2015 Milan Menswear Fashion Week Spring Summer on Tuesday (June 24) in Milan, Italy.
The 33-year-old actor, who is an ambassador for the brand, was joined at the event by Red star Lee Byung-Hun and Giorgio Armani's niece Roberta.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Chris Pine
After the show, Chris revealed that he would soon be heading to New York first, and then back to Sonoma, Calif, which he "kind of fell in love with."
"Geographically and topographically, it's a lot like Tuscany," Chris told WWD. "It's got rolling hills and vineyards, some culture – it's basically centered on wine and food, which are two of my favorite things on planet earth, and it's quiet – it's just magic."

Click on sound bar to hear graphed song.
Sound spectrogram of 2 s of calling at 24.8°C (from WTL585-20). Dominant frequency 2.9 kHz.
Click on spectrogram to expand image of last chirp.
Identification: Length 15-18 mm. Black mark on first antennal segment round or oval; length of black mark on second antennal segment greater than half length of segment; width of dorsal field of male forewings more than 0.4 the length; more than 35 teeth in stridulatory file.
Habitat: Shrubbery and vines around houses, unsprayed fruit trees, tangles of vines and trees at edges of clearings and along neglected fence rows; broadleaved trees, esp. scrubby oaks.
Season: July to October; one generation per year.
Song at 25°C: Regular, melodious chirps at ca. 2.8 ch/sec. in the east and ca 3.1 ch/sec. in the west. Chirps usually have either 8 or 5 pulses, produced at ca. 52/sec. A chirp's pulses are not quite evenly spaced—chirps generally begin with a group of two pulses closely followed by consecutive groups of three. Thus most chirps have pulses grouped as 2,3,3 or 2,3. Carrier frequency is 2.7 kHz.
Song data: See Fulton 1925 and Walker 1962.
Similar species: Riley's tree cricket—dark mark on second antennal segment reduced (less than half length of segment) or absent; center of mark near distal border of segment.
Remarks: The snowy tree cricket is sometimes called the "thermometer cricket" because its chirps are easily countable and their rate correlates well with the temperature at the cricket. In eastern United States, Fahrenheit temperature can be estimated by counting the chirps in 13 sec. and adding 40. West of the Great Plains, the snowy tree cricket chirps a bit faster (at a given temperature) and the recipe changes—e.g., count the chirps in 12.5 sec and add 38. Of course if you are really interested in using the snowy tree cricket as a thermometer, you should calibrate your local crickets against a thermometer placed near where they sing. Count their chirps per minute at a variety of temperatures, graph the results, draw a line that fits the points, and use a little algebra to arrive at a handy formula. One explanation of why snowy tree crickets sing faster in the West is that their faster chirps are more easily distinguished from the similar but slower chirps of Riley's tree crickets, which do not occur in the East. Careful studies in the West of chirp rates in and out of the zone of overlap between snowy and Riley's tree crickets should help interpret the variation.
There is yet more to know about the song of the snowy tree cricket. Nathaniel Hawthorne described it as "audible stillness" and declared, "If moonlight could be heard, it would sound just like that." On a more commercial note, producers of movies and television shows often dub the song of this species onto sound tracks to signal that the action is taking place on a quiet summer's night in a rural or suburban setting.

The Walrus Says
They are (from east to west): Conanicut Marine Store, Bank of America, the car wash at the Mobil station, the newly refurbished Bome Theatre mall and the Jamestown Press building. Bank of America and the car wash seem to have no historical significance; hence, they can be called "modern."
Of the three churches that sit at the upper end of Narragansett Avenue, Central Baptist Church is white clapboard and not brick, St. Mark Catholic Church has just celebrated its centennial year and St. Matthew's Episcopal Church's bell tower often plays hymns at 5 p.m.
This week's query concerns Jamestown historical dates. Dorothy says, "I've put these in the 'matching' format loved and/or feared by anyone who has ever taken a test in school. Please know that this matching exercise is not a test. All of the answers are in plain sight of anyone walking or driving around Jamestown. No textbooks or library research (fun though they can be) are required. Just an observant eye."
Directions: Match each Jamestown entity in the right column with the date in the left column when it was founded, constructed, established or dedicated.
1678 A. Old sea wall at East
Ferry 1749 B. Conanicut Battery Park
(dedication) 1787 C. Beavertail Light
(established) 1898 D. "Old" library building
(constructed) 1901 E. St. Mark congregation
(established) 1909 F. Veterans' Memorial at
East Ferry (re-dedicated) 1936 G. Jamestown Golf
Course (first opened) 1971 H. Windmill
(constructed) 1997 I. Jamestown (founded) 2001 J. Current lighthouse
building (constructed)
Extra points for saying where on the island each of these pieces of historical information can be found (Answers at the bottom of the column).
Thanks, Dorothy!
In the 1939 award-winning motion picture "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington," Jimmy Stewart plays a naive man who becomes a senator and gets into deep trouble with a sharp politician. Who played the politician?
The Jamestown Community Chorus is in rehearsals for its spring program, "This One's For the Birds: Choral Music About Our Fine Feathered Friends," to be presented during the first weekend in May. Director B.J. Whitehouse notes, "It turns out that many famous composers, including Mozart, Brahms and Carl Orff, have written music about birds."
B.J. listed lyrics that may show up in the sing-along section of the concert. The first poser is:
What line follows these 1970s rock lyrics?
"In you I found a fragrance, I'll love you till I die
I just love you, love you, love you, I don't even know the reason why."
What's the line and the name of the song?
Thanks, Beej!
R.I.P. Robert Parker. Spenser lives on.
In the Jan. 21 column, John A. Murphy wrote: Identify Two Ten Six Eighteen Ten Forty-four." Larry Lewis replied:
"John's referring to the song, 'Doesn't Anybody Know My Name,' which contains the lyric phrase 'Two Ten Six Eighteen Ten Forty-four,' a reference to the times of train service in a small American town to which a blinded soldier has returned, having fought thanklessly in an overseas war. It was written by Rod McKuen and published in 1965. It isn't hard to imagine that the then-burgeoning American involvement in the Vietnam conflict was McKuen's inspiration. The tune was recorded by a number of artists, including McKuen, Johnny Cash, the Kingston Trio and Waylon Jennings, who arguably did the best version.
"Shamefully, at that time, many factions of our divided nation despised our military. While we have more than our share of divisiveness today, at least our soldiers now enjoy greater public support.
"Okay, I'm off the soapbox. Great question, John, and apologies for my having had to Google this. Keep 'em coming!"
Don't forget tonight's presentation of "Shall We Dansu" (Japan, 1996), part of the Friends of the Jamestown Philomenian Library's Thursday Night Foreign Film Series at 7 p.m.
Saturday's full moon is the Moon After Yule, Old Moon and the Wolf Moon.
Tuesday is Ground Hog Day. You know what that means.
Answers to the Jamestown historical dates: A. 1936-38 (bronze WPA plaques on the walls); B. 2002 (entrance sign); C. 1749 (information sign at the lighthouse); D. 1971 (cornerstone at southwest corner of the building) E. 1909 (welcome sign says Centennial year 2009); F. 1997 (incised in ground-level granite marker); G. 1901(entrance sign on Conanicus); H. 1787 (sign on North Road at the windmill); I. 1678 (granite marker at the four corners and also the town sign at the Pell Bridge); J. 1898 (information sign at the lighthouse)

Shares of OfficeMax (NYSE:OMX) climbed more than 11% on Tuesday after the leading office supply retailer posted stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings.
The gains were led by tighter cost management that helped offset a decline in sales.
Continue Reading Below
The Naperville, Ill.-based seller of copiers, printers, desks and pens reported adjusted operating income of $23.6 million, or 27 cents, compared with $21.5 million, or 25 cents, a year ago.
Analysts in a Thomson Reuters poll were looking for a profit of 25 cents.
Including a one-time non-cash gain of $670.8 million related to the extinguishment of debt guaranteed by Lehman Brothers, Office Max earned $433 million, or $4.92 a share.
Revenue for the three months ended Sept. 29 fell 1.7% to $1.74 billion from $1.77 billion, narrowly missing the Street's view of $1.78 billion.
Same-store sales, a key growth metric for retailers that measures sales at stores open longer than a year, slipped by 2.1%.
Improvements in its U.S. and international contract business were offset by softer demand for technology products, particularly personal computers, which pushed retail sales down 3.1% year-over-year.
"Our team's focus on strengthening the core business resulted in stronger operating margins for the quarter," OfficeMax CEO Ravi Saligram said in a statement.
In the current quarter, OfficeMax said total sales will either be in line with or slightly below sales in the fourth quarter of 2011. It also is anticipating lower sales for the full year, which it is partially blaming on an extra week in the year-earlier period that generated an additional $86 million in sales.
Meanwhile, smaller rival Office Depot (NYSE:ODP) said same-store sales fell 4% in the third quarter. The No. 2 office supply chain posted third-quarter net loss of $70 million, or 25 cents a share, compared with year-earlier earnings of $92 million, or 28 cents, but said EPS excluding one-time items was 6 cents and topped the consensus.
OfficeMax was served with a series of positive notes from analysts following its quarterly report, including by Oppenheimer, which raised its price target on the retailer by a dollar to $7 and BB&T Capital Markets, whose analyst Anthony Chukumba said he was encouraged by OfficeMax's performance amid a weak global macroeconomic backdrop.
