How To Hook Up A Wii
Looking for directions on how to hook up a Wii? It should only take you about five minutes to hook up your Wii console with your television. Before you hook up your Wii with your television, you need to decide if you are going to place your Wii vertically or horizontally. If you place your Wii vertically, you will need to use the Wii stand plate that came with your Wii. You should place your Wii in a location that allows for free air flow.
To hook up a Wii, you will need:
- A Wii console
- A television
- An AV cable
- A Wii sensor bar
- A Wii AC adapter
- Connect The AV Cable. The first step in hooking a Wii up to a television is to connect the AV cable. The AV cable is the cable with yellow, white, and red RCA plugs at the end of the cable. The other end of the AV cable, which has a AV multi out plug, goes into the AV multi out connector, which is located on the back of your Wii console. The colored RCA plugs go into the matching input connectors on your television.
- Setting Up The Sensor Bar. Once you have connected the AV cable, you are ready to set the sensor bar up. The sensor bar plug, which is red, goes into the sensor bar connector, which is located on the back of your Wii console, next to the AV multi out connector. You can mount the sensor bar below or above your television screen.
- Connect The AC Adapter. To connect the AC adapter to your Wii console, insert the DC plug into the DC input connector, which is located below the AV Multi Out connector on the back of your Wii console. The other end of the AC adapter plugs into any 120V AC wall outlet. Your Nintendo Wii console is now successfully hooked up to your television.
Tip: For added security when mounting the sensor bar, you can use the foam tape that is included on the supply sheet to stick the bar to the top or bottom of your television screen.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- n. A consonant, such as f or s in English, produced by the forcing of breath through a constricted passage. Also called spirant.
- adj. Of, relating to, or being a fricative consonant.
from Wiktionary, Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License
- n. Any of several sounds produced by air flowing through a constriction in the oral cavity and typically producing a sibilant, hissing, or buzzing quality; a fricative consonant. English /f/ and /s/ are fricatives.
- adj. produced by air flowing through a restriction in the oral cavity.
from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English
- adj. Produced by the friction or rustling of the breath, intonated or unintonated, through a narrow opening between two of the mouth organs; uttered through a close approach, but not with a complete closure, of the organs of articulation, and hence capable of being continued or prolonged; -- said of certain consonantal sounds, as f, v, s, z, etc.
from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- Characterized by friction: said of those alphabetic sounds in which the conspicuous element is a rustling of the breath through a partly opened position of the organs, as s and sh, z and zh, f and v, th and Ŧh, and so on. They are sometimes divided into subclasses, as sibilants, like s and sh, and spirants, like f and verb
- Sounded by friction, as certain musical instruments. See instrument, 3 .
- n. A fricative consonant. See I., 1.
from WordNet 3.0 Copyright 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved.
- n. a continuant consonant produced by breath moving against a narrowing of the vocal tract
- adj. of speech sounds produced by forcing air through a constricted passage (as `f', `s', `z', or `th' in both `thin' and `then')
from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition

Now, considering the post you linked to regarding the potential phonetic realization of Minoan "d" and "z": would that man that "z" as a fricative is a "th" sound?
With all the grace on offer, you quibble at the absence of the word "fricative"?
I never noticed that "fricative" sounded close to a bad word, though, until I said it to my dad and he acted shocked.
Similarly, "fricative" consonants are soft-sounding like the "f" in "five" and convey a sense of smallness, he says, while
It's safest for this magazine's sanity if I substitute the words "chuffing" and "todd" for the concomitant seven- and four-letter words Bruce quietly drops everywhere, through habit rather than guile or anger; fricative and plosive, they're actually right in almost all contexts.
Bruce Robinson: 'I'm just going to take my liver for a wash'
Yes, it's about a complete cessation of airflow with a sudden release -- a 'plosive' -- rather than a restriction causing 'fricative' turbulence.
The S is substituted there with an English H or the velar fricative that in Spanish is nowadays a J in many occasions.
But a Spanish J is not the equivalent of a Y, it is a velar fricative.
Two phonemes: a voiced dental fricative and a schwa.
Yes, it makes Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls look like Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, but Mohombi isn't about furrowing brows, he's about fun with a capital bilabial fricative.

[All dialogue in «angle quotes» is translated from the Spanish]
«Whatcha doin', Spooky?»
Jack Morrison looked up upon hearing Leticia Delgado's question from where he sat with his notebook. Paper, pen, overstuffed chair - old school, like he was. «Updating the dossier.»
«On your old friends?» she asked, putting away her phone, and grabbing an orange off the counter separating the small kitchen from the small living room.
«They're not my old friends,» he growled. «But this attack by Amari, and this fake Overwatch news - maybe it'll help fit some more pieces together.»
Leticia nodded, peeling the orange. Morrison had been hauling that notebook around as long as she'd known him. He'd never let her look at it, and she'd never pushed too hard. But she'd been curious, and if he was going to open up a little, well, it beat sitting around, anxious and bored. «Why you so obsessed with this new Overwatch, anyway?»
He shook his head. «It's not Overwatch. The real Overwatch - my Overwatch - went down with me, when Talon moved against us.»
The street fighter cocked her head to her left. «I thought that was the UN.»
Morrison snorted. «Talon, UN - it's all the same thing, has been for a long time. Early 2068 - a few months before the Slipstream exploded - that's when I started to realise what was really happening, what was going wrong.»
«Talon,» she said, before biting into a wedge, «...controls the UN?»
«Talon proxies. Maybe mind controlled, like Lacroix, maybe conscious traitors, I don't know. But they're pulling the strings. I just have to find them all, cut them all down, show the world what they've done.»
«I know they're terrorists, but that's what they call us, too...» She swallowed the piece of orange.
«They really are, though. More than anyone knows. More than anyone understands. But I'm the one who's seen it.» He poked at his notebook. «I'm the one who's figured it out.»
«You got evidence?» She peeled threads off another piece of the orange. «I mean, if they're that kind of dangerous...»
«It's everywhere you look, once you start to see it. Start with Gérard Lacroix's murder - Talon eliminated him as soon as he got too close. You think he was their mole? Of course not. He just knew too much.»
The young Los Muertos gangster bit into another wedge. «I don't even know who that is.»
«You...? Yeah, I, guess you wouldn't. You'd've been, what, 12? 13?» He chuckled. «Gérard Lacroix was head of Overwatch's anti-Talon task force. Good man. Murdered in his sleep by his wife - or rather, by whatever thing Talon put in his wife's head after they took apart her brain.»
«Wait. I've heard part of this story... are you talking about la blue girl?»
«The killing corpse? The purple assassin? Yeah. The Widowmaker. Second-best sniper in the world. I was friends with the woman they killed to create her.» He flipped to the Amélie Lacroix section of his notebook, filled lately with his notes on her partner, the teleporting assassin known as Venom. «I'm not sure who they killed to create her girlfriend. I thought it had to be Lena Oxton, somehow back from oblivion, because...»
«Lena Oxton... the Widowmaker's girlfriend? Wait, you think the hero of Old London is the spider's sidekick? Really?» Laticia snorted. «Put this in your notebook, I heard about it from the old squad leader. Those two showed up at an arms show together a couple years ago, right? Got disrespected by a some anglo Texans, and killed like a dozen people just to make a point. They're not...»
«I know. The girlfriend part, that's what made me think it might've been Lena.» He tapped the page with the tip of his pen. «Still think it might be. Just can't figure out why they'd keep the lesbian angle. I didn't even think Amélie liked girls, not that there's anything left of her in that machine. But it has to be important, for some reason.»
Hoooo, she thought. This is kind of nuts. «I'm sorry about your friends, Jack. But this - it's a lot to take in.»
Jack looked up at Laticia, and nodded. He trusted her. He hadn't trusted anybody in a long time, and he didn't trust the trust, but it was still there. «It's a lot more to live through.»
She let out a little bit of a 'heh,' and replied, «This's why you don't talk about your past much, huh?»
He nodded, flipping through pages, adding small notes in tinier text. «One of the reasons.» He dotted a couple of lower-case Is and put the book down. «The part I can't get past - there is just no way that the real UN would ever have moved against us. Not like that. They'd never have shut me down, not us, we mattered too much. Not even with that bastard Gabriel turning on us, turning on me...» He'd run through the story too many times in his own head even to get angry anymore. «I don't know whether they brainwashed him or reconditioned his mind or whether he just got bought out, but he turned on us. All those lies at the hearings, all that slander, all those leaks...»
«I remember that part,» she said, finishing the last of the orange.
«Big news, even to the tween set?»
«We watched the hearings in school.»
The solder smirked. «Not surprised - schools are about control. But all that propaganda aside - we mattered too much. The real UN - an uncompromised UN - wouldn't've shut us down. Never.»
She tapped her fingers, one, two, three, four, on the table, working out bits in her mind, before sweeping the peels away. «So... if Talon took over the UN, then...»
He nodded again, this time, approvingly. She gets it, he thought. «Then they have control over a lot of the governments, too. Deep state agents, fingers in key parties, big and small.» He picked the book back up, made a few more notes, and closed it again. «But I'll get it all out there, sooner or later. Once I have it all figured out. Then everyone will know, and we can start to put the world back together.»
The soldier looked down at his empty mug, feeling all talked out. «Hey. You mind making some more of that coffee?»
Delgado looked quizzically at Jack Morrison. «My coffee?»
«Who else's? I can't make it the way you do.»
«You can't... you hate my coffee. You always dump it out, and by the way, you still owe me new beans.»
«I don't hate it, I...» and he remembered, oh, yes, he kind of did, didn't he? No, that's not right, he loved her coffee. Nobody else could get it quite right, particularly not that white-haired... he shook his head, no, that doesn't make sense. «I'm getting used to it. It's kind of growing on me.»
«Ha!» She grinned. «I'll teach you how to appreciate good food yet, gringo. If I do this, you can't pour it out! I have to make a whole pot, or it comes out too weak, like yours. Just, you know, not as bad as yours. Which is terrible.»
«Wouldn't dream of it,» he groused, and stood up. «While you make that, I'll go out, get some more beans. I do owe you.»
«It's been quiet long enough, yah, I think it's safe.»
He nodded his agreement. «You heard anything from Araceli?»
Laticia shook her head, checking her phone again. «No, not yet. I'm worried.»
«Afraid the Maras got her?»
«Worried they might've.»
«I hope not. She's no soldier, but she's... a pretty good kid.»
Delgado smiled, surprised. «Thanks, Spooky. That's the nicest thing you've ever said about her.»
Morrison looked through the edge of the blind from the gang house. Twilight, and all clear - at least, as far as he could tell. Amari doesn't double-dip, he thought. We should be fine, for now. «I'll be back in a few minutes,» he said, throwing his gun over his shoulder. «With dinner.»
«No hunting in city limits!»
«Not even for tacos?»
«Okay, maybe for tacos. You know the kinds I like?»
«'Course I do,» said the soldier, opening the door. «If I'm not back in 15 minutes - leave, and don't look back.»
«Don't have to tell me twice!»
«I won't.»

Placement Tests
ACCUPLACER Basic Skills Assessment
The ACCUPLACER is an assessment tool developed by the College Board and is administered to all new students enrolling in a degree or certificate program in order to assess their academic skills in mathematics, English and reading. The results are used by advisors and counselors to assist with course selection and academic advising. You cannot "pass" or "fail", but it is very important that you do your very best so that ACC will have an accurate measure of your current academic skills. This is not an admissions test. The assessment is untimed. On average, it takes approximately one and-a-half to two hours, so plan accordingly. It is important that students arrive on time for the assessment.
Every student knows that studying reduces the anxiety and pressure associated with exam-taking. As with any test, Accuplacer results are strongly and positively related with the amount of quality studying done before taking the test. The following hyperlinked websites and study guides will provide you with both a better understanding of, and an opportunity to practice, the skills on which the ACCUPLACER will test you.
- Collegeboard Sample Accuplacer AssessmentIncludes sample questions for both and English and Math directly from the Accuplacer website. The Accuplacer at Asnuntuck includes four sections: Sentence Skills, Reading Comprehenstion, Elementary Algebra and College Level Math. The Accuplacer taken at Asnuntuck will not include the other sections noted in this sample assessment.
- Math ACCUPLACER PreparationIncludes practice material for all levels of math.
- English ACCUPLACER PreparationIncludes practice material for English sentence skills.
Who needs to take the ACCUPLACER?
You are exempt from the ACCUPLACER assessment if:
- You are a transfer student who has earned a "C" or better in an English Composition and/or college-level mathematics course;
- You took the SAT prior to March 2016 and have either an SAT Critical Reading or Writing score of 450 or higher, and/or an SAT Mathematics score of 500 or higher, or took the SAT in March 2016 or after and have either an SAT Critical Reading subscore of 25 or higher, and/or an SAT Mathematics score of 530 or higher; or
- You have an ACT English score of 21 or higher, or a composite score of 47 or higher on the ACT English and Reading test, or an ACT Math score of 18-21.
You must take the ACCUPLACER assessment if:
- You are a new student enrolling in an ACC degree or certificate program;
- You plan to register for a course with an English or math prerequisite;
- You are a transfer student who has not earned credit for a college-level English Composition and/or college-level mathematics course;
- You are a non-degree student seeking to enroll in an English or math course; or
- You elect to take a developmental course (to ensure proper placement).
When and where can students take the ACCUPLACER?
Please note: You will need your 8-digit student ID number to register for an Accuplacer. Your student ID number can be retrieved from your Acceptance e-mail and/or in person at the Admissions Office.
Any student who has a physical or learning disability, or other limitation necessitating special assistance and/or facilities for the ACCUPLACER assessment, should contact the Associate of Student Accessibility/Disability Services, Debbie Kosior, email@example.com (860) 253-3005.
IMPORTANT: In addition to bringing your student ID number, you must bring a photo ID to the assessment.
Acceptable forms of photo identification include:
A current driver's license
A state-approved ID
A high school ID
A college ID
A current state or federal ID card
A current passport
A tribal ID card
A naturalization card or certificate of citizenship

''All Things Considered'' fans can breathe easier. It now looks as if both ''All Things'' and ''Morning Edition'' on National Public Radio will continue uninterrupted due to a last-minute financial agreement between NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), through which most of NPR's funding is channeled.
Today is NPR's payday, and for much of this past week it seemed that NPR would not be able to meet its payroll, leaving the threat of bankruptcy hanging over the heads of NPR's 300 Washington employees.
NPR needs a $9.1 million loan from CPB to cover past debts and continue operations, writes Monitor correspondent Arthur Unger. CPB had demanded that NPR hand over title to its satellite equipment as collateral for the loan. NPR interpreted that as a power play by CPB, although CPB officials said they were simply reacting to the fiscal irresponsibility that seemed to cause NPR's financial crisis.
NPR submitted a revised compromise plan that reportedly would place control of the satellite equipment in the hands of a committee of three individuals, whose names were not disclosed. CPB accepted this plan, saying the satellite system wil be held in trust until NPR divests inself of its debt. it is believed that public and congressional pressure for an agreement was a major factor in reaching the accord.

FCJ Sisters attend SEDOS Seminar in Assisi, May 2009
The annual SEDOS Seminar was organized jointly this year by the JPIC (Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation) co-ordinators of the UISG and SEDOS.
Situated in the beautiful setting of Assisi, the Conference took as its theme:
and was attended by over 200 members of religious congregations and several laity. Nine FCJs participated in this four-day series of stimulating talks which were given by two presenters: Columban Missionary Sean McDonough who spoke on the History of the Universe; Climate Change, and Bio-diversity and the Australian theologian Denis Edwards who took as his topics: Ecology and the Eucharist; Ecology and the following of Jesus, and ended with a lovely reflection on the place of animals in the process of deifying transformation.
These reflections were all very much in keeping with our General Chapter commitment to take another look at all aspects of life 'in the context of the new understandings of God in Creation'.
The multi-cultural gathering gave rise to very interesting conversation and group sharing. We came home with our hearts and eyes wide open to the mysteries of life, desirous of effecting change and of sharing the message that all of creation is in a process of transformation into God.

Sean Price: Cleveland Police confirm misconduct hearing date
The chief constable of Cleveland Police will face a misconduct hearing next month, it has been confirmed.
Sean Price faces claims he used "undue influence" during the appointment of the daughter of Dave McLuckie, the former police authority chairman, to a civilian post with the force.
The hearing will start on 26 September and is expected to last for two weeks.
It follows an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
In a statement, Cleveland Police Authority said: "The authority's Professional Standards Sub-Committee met to consider the report and agreed with the IPCC's recommendations that there was a case to answer for three matters in respect of potential gross misconduct, and therefore referred the case to a misconduct hearing."
Mr Price remains on bail while Operation Sacristy, a wider criminal investigation relating to individuals with past and present associations to Cleveland Police Authority, continues.
He was arrested along with his deputy chief constable Derek Bonnard last year.
Mr Bonnard is no longer on bail but remains suspended from duty. Both have previously denied any wrongdoing and have made legal claims for wrongful arrest.
Mr Price and Mr Bonnard face separate disciplinary hearings into allegations surrounding the misuse of public funds and corporate credit cards.
It emerged last week that the IPCC is also investigating details of the arrest of Mr Price's wife, Det Ch Insp Heather Eastwood, last April.
She was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in North Yorkshire but it is alleged the couple failed to report the arrest to Cleveland Police.
Ms Eastwood is suspended from duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
Cleveland Police Authority has confirmed Mr Price's contract will not be renewed when it expires in March.
Mr McLuckie, a Redcar and Cleveland councillor, is on police bail until November.

Thomas Henry Griffin was a farmer near Clinton Falls, Steele County, Minnesota. Most of the collection consists of account books which show receipts and expenditures for his farm and home; the prices of food, clothing, wood, and livestock; the wages paid to the hired help; and the amount of milk furnished to a cheese factory. The collection also includes a diary from 1878-1883, which includes information on the weather, dates for planting, and other aspects of his farming operations.
Biographical Note:
Thomas Henry Griffin was born in Chenango County, New York in 1836. He lived in New York with his family working as a farmer until the Civil War when he fought with the New York infantry unit. His unit fought on several fields of battle and was at Appomattox when General Lee surrendered. In August of 1865 he left home and headed to Minnesota. He bought interest in the Morrison land in Clinton Falls where he continued his life as a farmer. In 1859 he married Fannie E. Brown and had at least four children.

With expectations low, world leaders gathered at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh in an effort to stem the recent violence in the Middle East. President Clinton urged Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to "move beyond blame" in assessing the cause of clashes that have killed more than 100 people this month. Clinton hopes to return to the US tomorrow. In the West Bank, meanwhile, Israeli soldiers exchanged gunfire with isolated groups of Palestinians, injuring at least seven people.
Despite the emergency talks, Barak was close to forming a coalition government with right-wing Likud movement leader Ariel Sharon in an effort to present a united front against the Palestinians, an aide said. Sharon, whose Sept. 28 visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is widely blamed for inciting the violence, has said he would not join the government if - at the summit - Barak discusses giving the Palestinians portions of the city that both sides claim as their capital.
"Purely for self-defense," the government of China must strengthen its armed forces, a published report said. The move was justified in a policy paper because of "grim" relations with Taiwan and bullying by major powers such as the US. It followed an effort by Premier Zhu Rongji to reassure neighboring Japan that China is not a menace to the region. The paper did not say how the military would be beefed up, but China has been buying sophisticated Russian-made weapons.
Emergency crews were in contact with a woman trapped under six feet of debris in a Swiss mountain village near the border with Italy. But hope faded for 22 others missing in massive weekend mudslides and flooding that wrecked communities on both sides of the boundary. At least 17 people died or were reported missing. Meteorologists said heavy rains in the region were turning to snow.
The suburbs where the worst food riots in Zimbabwe's history erupted in early 1998 were again the scene of violent clashes between police and protesters angry at a new round of price increases on bread, sugar, soft drinks, and transportation. Reports from townships outside Harare, the capital, said hundreds of demonstrators set fire to buses, threw rocks at store windows, looted bread trucks, and blocked streets to discourage others from going to work.
After months of stunning election defeats, including the loss of the presidency for the first time in 71 years, Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) appeared in contention to win the governorship of Tabasco, a vital oil-producing state. With vote-counting nearing completion, the PRI's Manuel Andrade held a narrow lead over Democratic Revolution Party candidate Raul Ojeda, and was calling himself the winner. Final results were not expected to be announced until tomorrow.

It was an awkward instant amid the perfect moment.
As NBA Commissioner David Stern extended the Most Valuable Player trophy at the conclusion of the NBA Finals, Shaquille O'Neal reached forward.
Stern recoiled. The award had been voted to Dwyane Wade, as if there could have been any doubt.
Again Stern attempted to tender the trophy. This time O'Neal clutched it, as he had the three previous times he won the award.
And passed it along to Wade.
"You deserve this," O'Neal said.
It wasn't, as a quizzical Stern might have wondered, about stealing the spotlight.
It was about passing it along.
"I was the one who wanted to hand it to him," O'Neal would later say.
Four months after that moment, O'Neal is resting in a folding chair on the Heat's practice court, as Wade continues to swish jumpers.
The Heat center is surprisingly alone, as the cameras continue to focus on Wade's flawless form, the form that helped the guard produce a 34.7 scoring average against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.
In that same series, O'Neal averaged 13.7. The disparity was stark. The reality of the championship moment clear.
More than a trophy had been forwarded. The torch had been passed.
"My numbers may decline or not decline," O'Neal says. "But with a guy like him here, you have to let him do what he can do.
"Sometimes you have to say to yourself, `I don't want to be selfish.' I think if you're not real with yourself, that's when things start going for the worse."
He is 34, the age when Hall of Fame centers Bill Russell, Wes Unseld and Bill Walton played their final seasons. He averaged single-digit rebounds last season for the first time in his 14 years. He averaged fewer than two blocks for the first time since his rookie season. His 20.0 scoring average was a career low.

World U-21 Snooker Championship: Four Indians enter knockout stage
Al Fujairah, May 15 (IANS): All four Indian entries in the boys' section – Ashutosh Phady, Sahil Nayyar, Ishpreet Singh Chadha and Dhvaj Haria – have qualified for the knock-out stage of the IBSF World Under-21 snooker championship here Thursday.
While Chadha and Haria topped their respective groups winning all their four matches, Nayyar won a crucial match against Brazil's Gabriel De Lima 4-0 to finish third in his group with two wins and two defeats, and Phady overcame Ireland's Daniel Dempsey 4-3 for his third win in four matches.
Phady's only defeat in the league was against the 2011 IBSF World champion Hossein Vafaei Ayouri, the 19-year-old from Iran, who won the match 4-1.
Chadha was the most impressive qualifier among the Indians since he won his matches without dropping a frame as he completed his league engagements with a 4-0 drubbing of UAE's Bader Obaid Almehairi.
Haria dropped the only frame in league when he beat 17-year-old German Lukas Kleckers 4-1 to top his group.
The top three finishers in each of the 16 groups qualify for the knock-out stage that will commence Thursday evening.
In the women's section, Varsha Sanjeev went down 2-3 to Russia's Daria Sirotina to suffer her third defeat in the five-player Group B and thus made her exit.
The 17-year-old Sanjeev, who had beaten Armaghan Hassani (Iran) 3-1, needed to win 3-0 against Sirotina to qualify for the Top 6 knockout stage, but the Russian proved too strong.
Earlier, the other Indian entry Saniya Arif bowed out with three defeats in the four-player Group A from where Keerath Bhandaal, who won one and lost two matches, qualified for the knock-out phase.

One thing I've learned from interactions with senior executives is that they always have very positive attitudes. One week away from an IT system release, 50 open high severity issues, loose ends not tidied up, signoff from the business not obtained, quality doesn't look that great, but the IT leaders are optimists. In the face of all this, they still maintain the calm and positive attitude that everything is working out. Why?!
Your attitude is contagious
If the IT executive goes into a status meeting with business stakeholders with a negative attitude about how bad the quality of the system is, the business stakeholders could easily spiral into a panic. The business stakeholders then take this back to their departments and escalate to their managers. Soon other senior executives are hearing about how bad the project is going. At that point the CIO will start getting blamed and this is not good for the IT executive, the reputation of their team or ultimately for the company and its customers either.
Your attitude affects the attitudes of those around you in the same direction.
This is why people in leadership positions always maintain an aura of limitless optimism. Because they know how their attitude and behaviour will affect others and a positive attitude is always going to have better results.
There are always positive alternatives to move forward
For our IT executive facing a tight deadline with a troubled project and a room full of business stakeholders with expectations of delivery, imagine what a difference a positive attitude makes. The executive says:
The team's been working very hard and we are looking good for the release next weekend. All the high severity issues will be resolved by X and we'll have business signoff on Y. Training and comms have been occurring over the past weeks so the business is ready. Feature Z will be delivered in a patch two weeks later and we've got this alternative procedure to help till then.
So here not everything can be fixed in time however a change could be delivered in a patch release. Still keeping the stakeholders happy, an alternative process could be put in place, some minor or less often used capabilities could be deferred to a phase 2 with a roadmap in place to achieve them in 3 months' time.
The result is that yes, the quality of the system may not be flawless however the business stakeholders are not panicked. They haven't caused alarm in their departments. The CIO is not getting blamed by other executives. And the company's customers are benefiting from the release still going live.
As a CEO who would you rather have work with you? As an employee who would you rather work for?
You'd rather have a person with a positive attitude working for you and leading your teams than someone who is going to cause panic and reduce the moral of other people in the company, making the company as a whole less productive. As an employee your job is more enjoyable working for someone who is always optimistic than working for someone who shows a negative attitude.
At a macro level, what about the culture of the whole company?
With leaders exhibiting a negative attitude, the team descends into gossip and finger pointing. Attempting to blame others and spending their time covering themselves from blame rather than working towards the team's goals in the most efficient way.
When the company has leaders who are always optimistic and exhibiting a positive attitude, these attitudes will be picked up by all employees in the company. The employees will feel energised to work and want to strive to achieve things. Where this occurs all across the company, the culture becomes positive and influences staff interactions with customers and also attracts more positive talent to come and work with the company.
Cultivating your positive attitude
So it's clear why a positive attitude and optimistic outlook is so important for the progress of your career into leadership positions.
Recognising and choosing your attitude
Our greatest freedom is our freedom to choose our attitude – Viktor E. Frankl
You want to be able to recognise what your attitude is at any given moment and how it's affecting others. When you're conscious of this and develop this ability you can exercise your freedom to choose your attitude at work.
Positive self-talk
There's an excellent article at Peter Stark's Blog that includes 10 ideas to help you exhibit a positive attitude.
One of these is to choose positive self-talk. You can slowly train yourself to think more and more positively through journaling. E.g. if you keep a journal and every morning write down one positive thing or an optimistic thing about the future. Having this in your mind as you go to work will set you off on the right foot and the regular journaling will keep switching your mind to a positive frame of reference for the day ahead.
So take these two actions every day to cultivate a positive attitude at work
- When you go into each interaction be aware of your attitude and how it may affect others
- Practice your positive self-talk to put your mind in the right frame of reference
There are more great ideas in these articles:
- Discovering the right attitude for career success
- Positive attitude – One of the keys to being a successful leader
How do you maintain a positive attitude at work?

A prominent Hamptons architect who was busted for kiddie porn in 2013 has been rearrested for making more pornographic images of kids, officials said.
Jay Lockett Sears who designed homes for celebs such as Michael J. Fox, Susan Lucci and Bob Fosse, allegedly made images in which he placed the heads of kids—whom he secretly photographed at elite yacht and beach clubs– on photos of naked bodies of adults engaging in lewd acts, according to the Eastern District of New York US Attorney's Office.
Sears–arrested at his home on Thursday–was caught when a probation officer visiting his house saw several bags full of photos of young girls faces pasted onto pictures of nude adult bodies with sexually explicit caption written over them. The girls faces were cut out of a local children's newspaper called The Waldo Tribune, federal prosecutors said in court.
The East Quogue man copped to the original crime in June of 2014 but didn't get any jail time and was instead sentenced to six months of house arrest and five years of supervised release.
The 78-year-old, who had a cameo role in the film "Gidget," was arraigned today in Central Islip Federal Court via phone because he was admitted to a hospital, though it was unclear why.
Sears faces charges for violating the conditions of his release by making kiddie porn again and for lying to his probation officer.
Judge Denis Hurely ordered Sears to remain in custody until he is able to appear at court for a bail hearing.

We have a .Net application which connects to a Microsoft Access Database file. If the client has .Net Framework V4.0 installed are there any other requirements to connect to access database?
Trying to confirm if the client will need any other software like Access runtime for the connection to work.

Thanks for the details.
If Microsoft Office is installed would the ODBC driver be installed?
If not, would you have any recommendations on what would be the easiest to install to get the ODBC driver?

I have three thoughts.
Does the current version of your .net application not connect to the accdb now? If not, then, yes, you need additional software. If so, then, no your application doesn't. So, you can address that part of the question directly from your own environment.
The other thought I had was to ask why you are using an accdb as the datastore for a .net application? Wouldn't it be more robust to use a server based database like SQL Server or MySQL?
Also, how does the current .net application connect now? ADO? or ?? That will help determine whether you need additional software, such as an ODBC driver.

Actually, if you still using mdb format, then you dont have to install anything since JET is included with windows.
However, if you using accDB format, then you have to install the ACE connectivity components.
So you can avoid having to install the access runtime, but if you using accDB formats, then you have to install additional software. That additional software can be just the ACE data engine, or you could install access runtime.

Thanks for the replies everyone.
Currently, we have a small Access application(MDB). The client has requested we remove the requirement for Access to be installed, they are fine if we use Access as a data store.
We have tested a small .Net application on a PC which does not have Access installed and there appears to be no issue connecting via 'System.Data.OleDb'.
Appreciate everyone's response.

This title is available.
Now available again, this penetrating study of the women in Gustav Klimt's life and art draws on the latest research and clarifies the artist's seemingly contradictory stance toward his models, muses, and lovers.
The enfant terrible of the Viennese art scene, Klimt was notorious for his portraits of beautiful women. Illustrated with color reproductions, this book profiles the women who figured in the artist's life and on his canvases. The author looks beyond the standard assumption that Klimt was a hardhearted philanderer, pointing instead to his committed and loving relationship with Emilie Flöge that prevailed despite the parade of beautiful women who wandered in and out of the artist's studio. Partsch demonstrates Klimt's role in the evolution of portrait painting, which helped usher in the age of Expressionism.

I volunteered to travel with Dr. Steve Collins, a "retired" doctor who works with Christian Blind Mission in Lubango. Four times a year, he provides ophthalmology clinics and surgery to other parts of the country.
Steve was born in Angola as the son of missionaries, was educated in Canada, and has returned to Angola, the place that is "home" for him. He is the quintessential tour guide and Angola enthusiast. Our team also included Kumbali and Paulino, two ophthalmology technicians who taught me everything I know about eyeball anesthesia, upgraded my Portuguese, and made me laugh constantly.
We covered 3000 km in 3 weeks, through the most beautiful African countryside I have ever seen, on the worst African roads I have ever seen. We averaged 30 km per hour for hours at a time (that's less than 20 miles per hour for the metrically-challenged.) Apparently it was the perfect time for travel – rainy season had progressed enough that the world had turned a magical green, but not so far that the tall grasses covered the views.
We worked in Kuito and Huambo – two cities devastated by the 27-year civil war. Buildings are still riddled with bullet holes, now 5 years after the war's end. People's faces in Kuito cloud over as they describe a period of nine months where no one left their homes, literally eating sticks and rats, and burying dead family members in their yards. Pillars along the roads demarcate areas where landmines are still present and travelers must stay on the road. Angola has the highest concentration of amputees in the world, with an estimated 70,000 people maimed by landmines.
The purpose of the trip was to see ophthalmology patients and do cataract operations for those who needed them. I prepared patients, did paperwork, and stuck large needles behind eyeballs for anesthesia. I also got better at seeing the retina, a skill I never quite mastered in medical school. As is always the case, some cases were terribly sad – a 3-year old girl with a tumor bulging several inches from her face, many people with optic nerve atrophy that we cannot explain. Many, many for whom we could do nothing.
But then there were the cataracts. Generally older people, brought in by young family members, often led with a stick. We would examine their eyes, take their blood pressure, stick tape on their foreheads to indicate which eye was to receive an operation, place the dilating drops. I would call them when we were ready, and have them take off their "panos", African cloths that seem to be worn in unending layers. I would stick the needle in; there was rarely a flinch. I started up the generator for the microscope, Steve operated with Kumbali assisting, and in a few minutes the operation was done. The patient was led away by the family member to their mattress for the night.
So now they can appreciate the beauty of their own country again. Beautiful country … and eyes to see it.

Princeton Review: Clarkson University One of Best Colleges
We chose schools for this book primarily for their outstanding academics, says Robert Franek, Princeton Review's VP, Publishing. "We evaluated them based on institutional data we collect about the schools, feedback from students attending them, and our visits to schools over the years. We also consider the opinions of independent college counselors, students, and parents we hear from year-long. Finally, we work to have a wide representation of colleges in the book by region, size, selectivity and character."
Clarkson is consistently among the schools ranked well in both the Princeton Review's "Best Colleges" and U.S. News & World Report's annual issue of "Best Colleges," where Clarkson was listed Monday as a top tier national university. US News also ranked the Clarkson School of Business Supply Chain Management Program as #11 in the nation.
In December, Princeton Review, along with PC Magazine, ranked Clarkson as the 14th most connected campus in the nation. This "The Top Wired Colleges" list honors colleges with the most comprehensive - in terms of size, scope and quality - computing and technology offerings. The criteria focused on three main areas of technology - Academics, Student Resources, and Infrastructure.
The ranking lists in the 2008 edition of "Best 366 Colleges" are based on the Princeton Review's survey of students attending the 366 colleges in the book. The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges in the book 1 to 366 in any single category, nor do the rankings reflect The Princeton Review's opinion of the schools.

"A series of prints mouted on black MDF (13x18) with images of Society Of Copy. The images are empty and flat. The tiles are equal and must be presented as a whole. They aren't photographs, rather they become interacting objects in space. The tiles avoid as much meaning as possible and become highly decorative. This is a 'series in process' and needs further investigation."
The first series were on display at the group show Arte Nova - D.Art in Mechelen - 2015.
The Tiles were presented in-situ behind a strange mosquito net or similar looking cloth. Visitors were unable to come closer to the Tiles. Visitors were only able to see them through the cloth, fixed in that perspective of the room. The cloth works as a filter between the subject and the presented works. The tiles themselves became part of the room, an installation as decoration of space.
This was at a crowed group exposition with about 50 artists. To prevent only being or flee from the overload of "art on the walls" I created my own hideout. No name or explanation was presented near the work. Only visitors with a sharp eye who were attracted to the materiality and aesthetics of the cloth would discover the work. Otherwise it would remain unseen.

Nice inning for Burke
Nice inning for Burke
after 2
On our own site?? UL-Lafayette??!!
Another nice inning. We need to get the bats going now!
Just using the stats feed from Tech's site.
Come on offense.
Looks like the offense didn't make the trip. 2 hits 0 runs through 4. Geez.
Our offense is clearly still behind
Well I see a pattern. Lower pitching we hit. Mediocre and above we struggle.
This Sullivan is average at best. It's alarming that we can't hit this guy's mistakes. Very disappointing so far.
Burk doing work
Jack is doing g his job. But all pitching and no hitting makes jack a dull boy
Wait is la tech playing lafayette leopards and not us. The pa announcer is even calling us lafayette
What a pathetic institution. I get that they won't use Louisiana. Whatever. But to be so butthurt over it that they intentionally use the wrong logo and use the incorrect name on the PA is pretty sad.
____ poor job with runners on 2nd and 3rd and 1 out! Come on guys, grow a pair.
2 ground balls back to the pitcher. A ground ball or fly ball anywhere else by Conrad would've tied it up. Terrible execution. I'm surprised Brenn was the culprit.
I'm gonna write Matt Deggs a letter to let him know how much I miss him. Anyone else want to sign it?

Texas Governor Rick Perry announced that being gay is like being an alcoholic.
I disagree with Rick Perry about gays being like alcoholics. Gays are attracted to gays not as a bad habit but as an internal compulsion.
You can re-label homosexuality as good but it still runs contrary to normal tendencies. To misinterpret it as normal or praiseworthy is to obfuscate reality and undo the definitions and categories of the world's history. It is to give gays the illusion that their same sex mating is acceptable to the average person. Liberal efforts to condone gay liaisons puts gays out of touch with reality and ultimately hurts and disappoints them. They are tolerated but not fully accepted.
Perry was asked if he believed that homosexuality is a disorder, he said, "Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that. I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue that way."
I don't think that gays should try not to be gay but they should not be proud of it and throw it in our faces. Let them be what they be but let them also recognize that it is not pleasant for a normal human being to encounter their gayness and effeminate natures. We may want to feel good about ourselves by accepting homosexuality but we don't in reality and our own compositions are allergic to it.
The American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder in 1973. Obviously political correctness has allowed misinterpretation of the natural even if it degrades the obvious necessity of reproduction and the historical attraction of opposite sexes.
Shrinks have naively denounced what has been called gay-conversion therapy or reparative therapy. I don't want gays to change. I just want to stop them from waving their genital predilections in our faces.
Perry has said about the gay lifestyle, "I don't necessarily condone that lifestyle. I don't condemn it, either. We're all children of God."
Let them be gay. I don't care. I wouldn't want them to switch. I just don't want them to boast about it and pretend that is normal when it is not.
All my liberal lying heterosexual friends actually find men kissing each other disgusting. They praise it when it sickens them. Insanity is pretending to accept what you want and promoting falsity as reality.
The army used to promote "don't ask, don't tell." But now everyone is proud of his perversions and waves them like American flags. What for? What's wrong with privacy when exhibitionism can't help but be offensive?
Gays don't want us to change them but they want to change us. They want us to like their eccentric behavior.
I hate gay pride. What little boy could be proud that he is gay? It is internally disgusting and disruptive. Pretending that gays should be proud could disjoint them from and put them out of touch with reality by repeatedly lying to themselves.
What's wrong with shame? I am ashamed of some of my thoughts. I don't tell them to you. Gays should have the courage to be ashamed. I don't ask them to change. I just want them to be who they are and to recognize that that is often offensive to others.
Why re-label shame pride? I think we are all ashamed about certain things that we do. So what?
Be what you are. Be gay but hug it in the privacy of your room and don't display it like a drag queen.
If you don't want to change, don't change. Just change your attitudes about something historically embarrassing. Don't spray perfume on perspiration.

text: It's unfortunate, but a lot of people in this world possess absolutely no skills and lack the ability to think for themselves or at least even put a twist on other people's ideas. Otherwise known as scum of the earth.. Ok, so here's the point. Never ever put any websites, niches or whatever on flippa that you may not be able to sell. People are surfing flippa and ripping entire sites. Happened to a site I sold, luckily.. I've seen two complete replicas so far. And they even rank for similar keywords. They ripped everything right down to the html. After this experience, I think I am going to be focusing on larger authority sites. I mean, if some assh*le can just copy your entire site and start ranking for keywords that fast, well, just proves that G is nothing but a stupid bot. The one thing I hate more than anything in this world are thieves... I know a lot of people will just say move on, forget about it or whatever. Which I can do since the site is not mine anymore. But the bottom line is, this behavior is no better than a petty thief pick pocketing people, or someone robbing your house. Tired of this sh*t. Tired of people taking content or property that is not theirs. I just launched a site a few days ago, and already see about 3 feeder sites. A word to people doing this. If you can't come up with your own ideas, be it content, site structure, finding niches or whatever, than IM is not for you. Go get a real f*cking job. Go work for McDonalds or be my grocery bagger at the supermarket, I don't care. You'll never make it anywhere in life. And if you manage to make some money ripping people's sites, it will be short lived and you will find yourself right where you began, in your mom's basement masturbating with a tube sock. Blackhat is not stealing, it's about gaming the system and being creative. Mods, if you feel this is out of line, let me know and I'll edit out what you want.

I had the hardest time getting myself to complete this project. My problem: sewing on the braids and wings. Why? No idea - it was totally easy!
Here's the pattern.

I can't believe I haven't posted an FO since September! There have been a few, and a whole lot of nearly FOs that I've been too lazy to finish for various reasons. I'm going to try to finish them all up by the end of this weekend.
Here we have the Maine Morning Mitts I made for my MIL.
After quitting her part-time job at our LYS, Boutique De Laine, for a full-time one at a tree nursery she quit knitting altogether. She really wanted a pair of fingerless mitts to wear at work, and since she's such a huge fan of Noro, these were the perfect ones for her. They were a quick knit and she says they're perfect for wearing while gardening.
Next we have a neckwarmer for my mom.
She'd requested this kind of thing when she was here to help out after Hana-chan was born. The problem is, I guess due to extreme sleep deprivation, I forgot a key detail of her description: having it close up at the front with buttons...oops. I think she doesn't like to pull it on and off over her head because it messes up her hair. I have a feeling because of that, she won't wear it too often, if at all, even though she says she will and that she really likes it. I may make her this one for Christmas.
Next is the EZ February Baby Sweater I knit for Hana-chan using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (yum!).
This little number gets a lot of wear, and I hope to knit a few more of these using the same yarn but in different colours.
I almost forgot this one:
Doesn't she look so sweet and innocent in this picture? This does not get a lot of wear, as Momo-chan has gotten really picky about what she wears these days, and this is just one of those things she never chooses.
Then there's my Christmas gift for my bro:
Please excuse the bad photo and colour-editing job. I have an even better picture of me wearing this with my 9-month pregnant belly sticking out from under my shirt so that I look like a fat wrestler. I'm not too keen on sharing that one with the world, though!
My brother also received this one from me for his birthday in April:
Wow, this post is taking me forever to write! Since my time to do this sort of thing is extremely precious (both girls are magically taking their naps at the same time today!), I'm just going to end this with a few more pictures with links to their project pages on Ravelry...
Uggs for the Flower:
Baby's 1st Tattoo, which I'd started for Momo but finished for Hana!
And a good ol' dishcloth (which I made a few of but only photographed one):
Hopefully, I'll have more FOs to show you next week!

text: shawnhar 67 Report post Posted May 7 "Awwww, isn't that cute, he thinks 11 pots is 'production'", you might think. I know ,I know but this is a huge step forward for me. personally. It was the 1st day I could see this might actually be possible. Between 9:00am and 3:30pm I wedged and threw 50lbs of clay, got all of them off the bat, flipped and wrapped for trimming next visit. My goal was 5 and my wife said I should make it 10, had to stop at 11 after I realized I had nowhere to put these, would have lost most of them without some kind of solution. The studio owner saved me with some temp shelf space, yay! Forms are pretty basic but that's my level right now, decent walls down to the foot, thicker rims and not leaving a ton of clay around the bottom , throwing a little drier and using the ribs a lot more were personal accomplishments. No flops or major issues, just a few air bubbles and a dried blob of clay on a ware board - best day so far. switching to raku clay made a HUGE difference. That b-mix with no grog is like trying to hold a wet noodle compared to this stuff, better for drying and avoiding cracks as well, so i have high hopes for the survival rate on these. Will get to trim them tonight during "day 2" of class. Thanks to everyone so far for all the feedback, it's made a big difference in my progression. Comments, critiques, criticisms and advice welcomed. 2 yappystudent and Gabby reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last episode of the WWE Monday Night RAW saw Sasha Banks took up the stand as the new RAW women's champion beating Charlotte Flair to emerge as the winner.
Report has it that there are reasons why the WWE had to make things worked out the way it did and some of the reasons are because The title change was done in order to make Banks a credible champion Which suggests that the WWE have given the green light for the Banks vs. Bayley feud.
Since Charlotte might be out of the title picture, the rumours of UFC star Ronda Rousey returning look more plausible as she will most likely face Charlotte at Wrestlemania 33. In order to Bayley to have her "Wrestlemania moment", it is necessary that Sasha is built as a convincing champion.
Another potential reason for the title change might be due to the fact that the women's roster on RAW is pretty thin on heels, which is why Banks is not expected to turn heel until early 2017.

What does the Summer Staff do?
FFA-FCCLA Summer Leadership Camp
During the first six weeks of summer, we engage in six sessions of FFA-FCCLA Summer Leadership Camp - a week long camp for FFA and FCCLA students from across Georgia. It is a leadership and recreation-based camp for middle school and high school chapters. During this camp, we provide everything - meals, lodging, recreation and program.
Campers for Leadership Camp arrive Monday morning and depart Friday morning. Staff report on Sunday afternoon and are released on Friday when the camp is clean (typically mid-afternoon).
Summer Staff operate the recreation areas, participate in assemblies and other programs, and help the campers have a great time. Some of the assignments during Summer Leadership Camp include:
Operating the snack shop
Operating horseback rides
Referee for softball and volleyball
Lifeguard at the pool and at the canoes and paddle boats
Ropes Course instructor
Craft shop operator
Food service
The days are long - a typical day starts with breakfast 7:30 AM and ends back at your cabin around midnight. Staff stay in the staff cabins, not in cabins with campers. For more information about Summer Leadership Camp, visit the Summer Camp Page.
After FFA-FCCLA Summer Leadership Camp
After Summer Leadership Camp, there are three types of camps that will be running - Wildlife Camps, Horse Camps, and rental groups.
The Wildlife Camps are week-long programs that our facility hosts to youth from the general public. During these camps, some of the summer staff will be fully dedicated to the program, including staying in the cabin with the campers. Some of the staff will continue servicing the rental groups during this time, but will likely have some part to play in the Wildlife Camps.
The Horse Camps are week-long programs that are open to girls ages 10-13. Some of the staff (primarily the horseback riding program staff) will be fully dedicated to this program. These programs run during the same weeks as Wildlife Camps.
We will also rent facilities to organizations. Our largest rental groups are church youth groups and children camps. For these groups we continue offering meals, lodging, and recreation, but we do not offer programs and assemblies. Summer staff will be involved in servicing these groups, mostly through operating the recreational areas and food service.

Ooh I've heard about 13 minutes, I really want to pick it up !ReplyDelete
I've never heard about the Graceling trilogy though but I'm going to check it out.Replies
You'll like 13 Minutes I think!Delete
Yes, I think you'd enjoy Graceling, though I must warn you it's more than a tad slow in many parts.
Ohhh I SO agree with the Infernal Devices matching the Gentleman's Guide!! That is A PERFECT MATCH.😂 And I love both of them so it works. ;) I loved Game of Thrones but couldn't quite get into Truthwitch ooops. And I need to read more of the Graceling series.😍 I also think The Demon King books are great for Throne of Glass fans!ReplyDeleteReplies
THANK YOU! TID and GGTVAV are like the same flavor of book or something but they work so well! Haha no worries- Truthwitch isn't for everyone (I've seen so many mixed reviews for this book; more than a lot of other books I read, honestly). Is that the Demon King series by Cinda Williams Chima? I've had that series on my TBR for a while but if it's good for TOG fans I'm definitely getting to it sooner than later. Thanks for stopping by!Delete
Thank you so much for commenting! I love to hear from you and try to respond to comments once or twice a week. Thank you for your patience :)


text: Lowes 2Q Results FastSwings.com Patrick Stevens 2nd Quarter2QEarningseconomic traumaHome DepotLowes Aug 16 2010 Lowes 2Q Results Hot weather was a help and a hindrance to Lowes sales in early summer. The big home-improvement retailer reported that heat probably boosted sales for outdoor grills and air conditioners, helping to increase 2Q net income by 10 percent. However, the heat kept away other customers as well as the continued anemic economic recovery. The observations by Lowes, the second largest home improvement chain in the nation, echo the attitude of a great many companies who are not seeing any signs that create any expectation of dramatic increases in consumer spending. The company has adjusted its annual revenue projections because of the troubling lack of progress in the nation's economic recovery. By Steve Patterson CEO Robert Niblock commented in an interview on Monday that federal rebate programs such as cash-for-appliances are effective and that American consumers do respond to their sales, but he described the projections for 2010's annual revenues as "bouncing along the bottom." The news was not totally negative, as revenue from stores with at least a year of sales to report rose 1.6 percent. These figures are more significant indicators of true retail conditions because data from stores that either opened or closed during the year would not be representative of the entire year's retail activities. The economic trauma of the past couple years has made Americans very tentative about spending any money on items that are not necessities, such as improvements that enhance a home's appearance; for example, new kitchen cabinets, appliances or flooring. Carpet sales continue to be a bright spot but definitely off from sales seen in previous years, as people only spend what they have to, rather than just to beautify. Overall, a sign of the continued weakness of the economy is the decline in home sales. Home sales surged earlier this year, but apparently that was due to buyers taking advantage of tax credits. The credits were no longer available after the end of April. With fewer home sales come fewer sellers and buyers doing upgrades or furnishing homes with appliances and repainting walls. Nevertheless, the reported net income for the Lowe's chain increased to $832 million for the quarter ending July 30, compared to $759 million. That works out to 58 cents a share compared to 51 cents previously. The overall revenue growth rate was 4 percent. Sales were reported at $14.36 billion. The figures, although positive, were less than previously projected by industry analysts who had projected that gross revenues of $14.52 billion would yield a profit-per-share of 59 cents, as reported by Thomas Reuters. Lowe's is, however, revising previous projections of profits upwards, increasing the estimated profit per share this year from $1.38 to $1.45. This despite a reduction in the amount the company expected revenues to increase. Previously Lowe's projected revenues for the year would increase 5 to 7 percent or from $49.58 to $50.53 billion. Now the company believes revenues will only increase 4 percent which would be approximately $49.11 billion. Analysts' own projections are about the same--revenues of $49.57 billion and profits per share of $1.42. The revenues from stores, including only those open at least one full year, are expected to rise approximately 2 percent. Previously the company hoped stores would generate increases in the 2 to 4 percent range. For just the third quarter projections, Lowe's estimates per-share profits will range from 28 to 32 cents and that total revenues will increase from 3 to 5 percent. This works out to a gross revenue projection ranging from $11.72 to $11.97 billion. Industry analysts' figures are very close: 31 cents profit per share and revenues of around $11.94 billion. The biggest competitor for Lowe's, Home Dept, will provide their 2Q quarterly earnings results Tuesday.

Report: Israel plans new homes in West Bank settlements
JERUSALEM – Israeli media say the government has advanced plans for the construction of 285 housing units in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Wednesday's decision prompted a swift condemnation from the White House.
The Haaretz website says a military planning committee approved 31 new housing units in the Beit Ariyeh settlement and 20 new units in Givat Zeev near Jerusalem.
Haaretz says it also retroactively approved 178 housing units in Beit Ariyeh that had been built illegally in the 1980s.
The committee has also advanced plans for a senior citizens' home of 234 housing units in the settlement of Elkana.
The White House said the move poses a "serious and growing threat" to the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
