Shares of Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI)
However, Friday's share gains may be overdone, according to an industry analyst. Sirius XM won't see its music royalty costs spike, but that wasn't justification for the late Friday stock surge, Evercore Partners analyst Bryan Kraft wrote in a note to clients.
Near the market close on Friday, the CRB said that it will increase the rate it charges Sirius XM to broadcast music on its premium satellite radio network. In 2013, the rate will rise to 9% of Sirius XM's total revenue from 8% in 2012, and that rate will increase by 50 basis points per year through 2017, when royalty rates will hit 11% of revenue.
According to Evercore's Kraft, the rate increase was larger than expected, but the decision was a positive for Sirius XM's stock given the gradual approach to those increases.
"We view the outcome as positive for the company and the stock because: (1) the increases in the rate remain gradual, enabling SIRI to continue to pass through music royalties on customers' bills; and (2) the uncertainty has now been removed," wrote Kraft, in the client note. The greater-than-expected 50 basis point step up will only hit Sirius XM's earnings by $16 million, an 'inconsequential' cost according to Kraft.
While the CRB decision won't dampen Kraft's bullish outlook for SiriusXM shares -- the analyst maintains a "buy" rating and $3.30 price target -- it also didn't warrant the 7% Friday rally. "
Kraft continues to see Sirius XM as a story of top and bottom line revenue growth, warranting increasing price multiples that have helped to push the company's shares up over 50% in 2012.
The CRB decision does make Sirius XM's costs quantifiable amid an otherwise improving revenue and profit picture for the satellite radio giant. In contrast, streaming music services such as Pandora
Earlier in December, Pandora shares flopped after reporting weaker-than-expected earnings.
While Pandora struggles to generate the subscription and ad revenue to justify its music costs, Sirius XM has benefited from a strong new and used car market in 2012, which has driven 2012 subscriber growth and helps to differentiate the service from competitors.
At the UBS Global Media Conference in early December, Sirius XM chief financial officer David Frear highlighted that the company's improving financial picture hinges on how its non-music offerings are driving subscription growth, primarily in new and used automobiles. Meanwhile, the company's moat around auto subscribers is growing, as car makers continue to post record sales figures.
"You don't have to pay for an '80s channel," said Frear at the UBS conference, of the value proposition Sirius XM offers outside of satellite music streams. The CFO added its non-music content like Howard Stern, nationwide sports play-by-play, and specialized content like CNBC and Bloomberg radio that are driving the company's paid subscriptions.
Sirius XM shares traded $0.02 lower in early Monday trading to $2.89. The company's shares have gained nearly 60% in 2012, on an improving financial picture and a deepening relationship with large minority owner Liberty Media

Stoneburner and Mewhort have athletic scholarships removed.
ESPN.com is reporting that Jake Stoneburner and Jack Mewhort have had their athletic scholarships removed after being charged with obstruction of official police business. They pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disorderly conduct. Urban Meyer has stated that they will have a chance to "earn" their scholarships back after the summer. My question is simple... Is this a real punishment? Or, is this a "Hey, as long as you don't do anything else dumb you'll be in uniform game one." type of situation.

This is my first post ever on cake. It's Dan Lepard's recipe in The Guardian. I love coffee so much and I really like the idea of adding fine grind coffee beans to this cake. The coffee bean I used? It's Sumatra Mandheling from my french press this week… Heehee. This cake also has 2 other ingredients that I like a lot: spelt and brazil nuts. The brazil nuts pair with the coffee very well. My cake texture seemed a little coarse, maybe I should chop the nuts finer next time? Anyway, I love the taste of this cake. Yum… 🙂
I didn't make cakes for long time and almost forgot some steps. Hope this cake looks fine. Less icing maybe? No idea about icing on a cake at all!
Recipe is from the Guardian website and the link is here

Nothing defines "first-class resort" as perfectly as Beaver Creek, with its immaculately groomed slopes, charming village, heated pathways, escalators and some of the best skiing and snowboarding Colorado has to offer.
This family-friendly village is just a couple of minutes up the hill from the conveniences found in Avon, but it offers a world-class resort living experience that feels worlds away.
The 18-hole premier golf course has some of the most picturesque holes in the valley, while wintertime skiing offers guests a unique village-to-village experience connecting Beaver Creek to Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead.
The Vilar Performing Arts Center attracts big-name acts throughout the winter and summer months, offering a performance schedule so diverse that it rivals what you'd find in large cities. The Resort's slogan, "Not exactly roughing it," captures its elegance and luxury perfectly.
Real estate includes condominiums near and around the Village's core, where European architectural influences transport residents and guests abroad. Impressive ski-in/ski-out homes scattered around Beaver Creek's base areas, as well as golf course properties below the village core, round out this gated community that's quaint in size but massive in its beauty, luxury, privacy and charm.
Beaver Creek Resort is consistently ranked among the best ski areas in North America. Known for its impeccable service, pristine grooming, steep-and-deep runs, and the Vail Valley's home to World Cup alpine skiing with the annual Birds of Prey men's ski races, Beaver Creek offers and skiing and snowboarding experience that's hard to match anywhere in the country. When bakers serve warm chocolate chip cookies every day at the base of the mountain to boot, who could complain?

As I sat at my computer to write this week's article, the horrific tragedy in Newtown, Conn., stayed in my thoughts. So much evil which has caused so much sadness. Even though we do not know these innocent children personally, we can all sympathize with these families. I believe that you can fight off evil with good deeds, so to honor the memory of those who have died, I would encourage everyone who reads this to take the time out of your day and "pay it forward." Really take notice of people you come in contact with - something simple like a smile and a friendly greeting could change someone's entire day.
Speaking of "paying it forward," I learned last week about a group of volunteers who were helping our youth in Bluffton. The Learning Place is an enrichment Program housed at the First Zion Baptist Church. The program includes a summer camp and afterschool program. The goal of the program is to provide rich opportunities for children to grow spiritually, academically, and culturally in a nurturing and safe environment. Their focus is meeting the needs of Bluffton's youth to promote both better students and citizens. The learning place is always looking for assistance in the way of dedicated volunteers, educational supplies and any other donations that will help enhance the program. For more information contact: Carolyn F. Brown at 757-3690 or Theresa Frazier at 757-2917 or via email at email@example.com.
The town of Bluffton IT/GIS has developed a brand new way of connecting you to the map you need. To find the Maps Gallery just visit the Town of Bluffton homepage (www.townofbluffton.sc.gov) and use the menu on the left to find News & Info -> Maps Gallery.

Federal government minister Tony Burke says denying asylum seekers the right to have a job is "very harsh" but is a policy needed to stop people drowning at sea.
Labor last week announced more asylum seekers would be allowed into the community on "rolling" bridging visas but they will have no work rights and only limited accommodation and financial support.
Left faction chief Doug Cameron has warned the policy could create a social underclass.
But Mr Burke on Sunday said people smugglers had been selling the fact that even if asylum seekers weren't granted permanent visas they'd still get to work in Australia for a few years.
"That of itself has been a reason that people smugglers have been able to increase the number of people putting their lives at risk on the high seas," he told ABC TV.
"Yes it is tough (policy). It's very harsh, but I don't want to see a situation where we do anything that adds to the risk of people losing their lives.
"(Drownings) are exactly why we are here in this policy area."
Fairfax media reported on Sunday that 33 asylum seekers drowned on their way to Christmas Island last month after their boat sank in minutes.
The sole survivor, Habib Ullah, 22, spent three days in the water watching his fellow passengers from Afghanistan and Pakistan drown one by one.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr on Sunday said asylum seekers would continue to come to Australia because there were 40 million displaced people worldwide.
"You could change the government of Australia tomorrow and it would still be faced with this problem and we'd be working with the policy tools we've got," Senator Carr told Sky News.
"It ain't going to go away, because of the displacement of people throughout the world and the existence of the people-smuggling industry."
Senator Carr said the only way to bust that industry was off-shore processing, which sent a powerful message that even if asylum seekers reached Australian waters they weren't guaranteed resettlement.
Despite the difficulties, the public would continue to insist that governments keep trying to stop the boats, the foreign minister said.
The coalition wants asylum seekers released on bridging visas to be made to work for their welfare payments, like a work-for-the-dole scheme.
But Nationals Leader Warren Truss does not want those welfare payments - which would amount to around $30 a day - to be increased.
"The larger amount of money that's offered the greater the attraction will be to come to Australia," he told Network Ten on Sunday.
People who come to Australia "in the proper way" deserve proper support, he said.
"But to reward people who have come in here in an unauthorised way seems to me to be sending the wrong message."
He called the latest deaths at sea the "tragic face of a disastrous policy failure".
Opposition immigration spokesman Scott Morrison hopes to introduce a private members' bill into parliament this week to bring back temporary protection visas (TPVs).
They would only last until it was safe for people to return to their home country.
Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says there is no difference between Labor's bridging visas and TPVs.
"It's a race to the bottom on who can be the nastiest," she told reporters in Canberra.
"It is a furphy to even try and say they are different in any really means. They both damage people."

Yesterday I recommended a USGS publication regarding Cu-Porphyries. Another of the recent USGS publications on mineral deposits is the Deposit Model for Mississippi Valley-Type Lead-Zinc Ores. Notably one of my most favorite kind of mineral deposits and that makes me quite existed to study this one more in detail. Perhaps we might see more of these thorough reports of the USGS in the future. A short summary can be found below the front cover image. To find the downloadable PDF file go HERE.
Front cover: Image source: USGS
This report is a descriptive model of Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) lead-zinc deposits that presents their geological, mineralogical and geochemical attributes and is part of an effort by the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Resources Program to update existing models and develop new models that will be used for an upcoming national mineral resource assessment. This deposit modeling effort by the USGS is intended to supplement previously published models for use in mineral-resource and mineral-environmental assessments. Included in this report are geological, geophysical and geochemical assessment guides to assist in mineral resource estimation. The deposit attributes, including grade and tonnage of the deposits described in this report are based on a new mineral deposits data set of all known MVT deposits in the world.

NY Jets 27 re. if Teebow QB if not 13 pts
Congratulations to all who called Brady over Luck!
Me? They dragged me through a washing machine 59 times, and hung me out to dry on top of the goal post!
Only 2 days before Thanksgiving and not a lot of post here... and for good reason.
With the line set at NE-6.5 pts this is a tough one to call with all that has been going on lately.
BUT in my opinion... The only reason to side with the J-E-T-S here is if you are a Jets fan OR a Patriots Hater.
It's hard to go against a Pats team that can put a 50 burger on a team if they blink at the wrong time. This season has been one of the best jobs done by Belichick and Brady. They have a defense that has scared no one and injuries galore on offense as well... yet they continue to win and score in bunches.
Yes, the Jets will put up a fight but I don't think that the Pats will be fooled twice in one season by these Jets.
I like the Over 48 as well.
Jets make is seem close with a late TD which gets the Over cashed as well.
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL the people of the world
I also thought that the Colts game would be closer... which it would have been if not for the giveaways by the Colts... Oh Well.
Last week the Jets made me look foolish for picking the Rams. I thought this team had packed it in, but they proved me wrong by heading out west for the second time in two weeks and coming back home with the W. I was more than surprised by their effort, and I was also surprised they didn't look ahead to this upcoming game against the Pats. Who would've thought the Jets would win on the road that convincingly after turning the ball over on a fake punt and having a field goal blocked as well. Believe it or not, that's actually a sign of mental toughness. I hate to give the Jets credit for anything, but last week showed me that this team has what it takes to overcome adversity on the field and in the locker room. Granted it was against the Rams, but I think their positive momentum from the road win plays favorably into this division rival matchup this week.
Last time these teams played, it was a classic Jets-Pats game. On the Jets opening possession, they took the ball and went on a methodical 5 minute, 11-play, 76-yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead. Just as they silenced the crowd at Gillette Stadium, they allowed Devin McCourty to return the ensuing kickoff for a 104-yard touchdown. That was very uncharacteristic of a Mike Westoff unit that has consistently ranked in the top 5 in avg yards allowed per return, and had not allowed a kick return for a TD since 2009. Well, needless to say, the Jets squandered their momentum and found themselves down by 10 in the 4th quarter. They eventually played some solid football and came back to tie the game with about 2 minutes left to play. Then the Pats practically handed the Jets this game with a costly fumble on a kickoff return with about 2 minutes left in the game. The Jets, not surprisingly, were not aggressive enough in the final minutes and they opted to play for the field goal instead of going for the throat like Coach Belichick would do. It didn't help that Sanchez took a costly sack that nearly brought them out of field goal range, and that the Pats had all 3 of their timeouts. The Jets ended up only taking 20 seconds off the clock and kicked a field goal, leaving Brady a minute and forty seconds to drive down the field and kick the game tying field goal. The Jets ended up losing a close one in overtime.
It's really important to note that in that game, Gronkowski led the team in targets and receptions (6 catches on 9 targets), and ended up catching 2 touchdowns. That type of production is hard to replace. Not to mention, he is one of the best redzone targets the NFL has seen in quite some time, and he garners so much attention that he opens up everything for other players as well. He is also a heck of a blocker, something you won't be able to replace with Aaron Hernandez. If you strip away the production from the Gronk and the kick return for a TD, you can take 21 points off the board for the Pats previous win over the Jets.
I think the left-for-dead Jets will be much looser and confident this time around, and play another competitive game. Given the circumstances, getting 7 points at home sounds like a decent value. Keep in mind: no Gronk, and almost equally as important, they could likely be without the services of starting guards, Logan Mankins & Dan Connolly who went down in week 10. Yeah, yeah...we all know New England put up a 50 spot on the Colts, but the Jets beat down the Colts too. They will not be impressed. I think the Jets are all too familiar with this Patriot offense to get blown out at home. Not to mention, they would like to redeem themselves for their last showing at MetLife when they got embarrassed by the Miami Dolphins.
For the record, I despise the Jets and it hurts me to make this pick. But I am going with the Dirty Sanchez and the J-E-T-S.
New York Jets - 24 New England - 23
Jets +6.5 under 48
Revenge game for Gang Green. Tom gets trumped by the other NY team on the primetime stage.....Rex gets a well deserved Thanksgiving treat----a victory over the Pats.
Jets - Under
be4 last week the jets completely got owned in 2 straight games and they were completely awful in all aspects of the game.....anybody who has confidence in mark sanchez and the jets is absolutely crazy.....sanchez looks like a rookie qb out there, u would never guess that hes been in the league for a few years.....the only reason why i would stay away from this game is because 75% of the public is on the pats and the bookies gotta make their money somehow so im kinda skeptic....but if i gotta take any1 i would lay the points with the pats....u think with all this talk of belichek leaving gronk in the game isnt getting him pissed? hes gonna come back this week and give a big FU to everyone whos talkin crap on him
I respect your style mellowman, but I am going to strongly disagree with you on the "Gronkowski will not be missed" comment. In the last two matchups versus the Jets, the Gronkanator has absolutely killed the Jets, leading the team in targets, receptions, and touchdowns. Below are his numbers in the previous two meetings vs the Jets:
20 Targets, 14 Receptions, 191 Yards, and 4 Touchdowns
Did you know that out Ron Gronkowski has accounted for 45% of Tom Brady's touchdowns going back to week 1 of last year. Thats 27 out of Brady's last 60 TDs. Gronk has also accounted for nearly half of Brady's TDs this year (10 of 21).
So I am sure Tom Brady will disagree with your statement as well. You take away a quarterback's favorite weapon, you take away two starting guards (Mankins and Connolly), and you have a recipe for a competitive game against the Jets.
I am not a huge believer in this Jet team either, but they did play the Pats very tough at Gillete Stadium exactly 1 month ago today. Yeah, they looked horrible at Seattle, but don't forget the Pats lost at Seattle earlier in the year too. Its a tough place to play! And I think the team was emotionally hung over from the near win at Gillette Stadium when they got their fools kicked at home by Miami prior to their bye week. I like the Jets coming in with good momentum, and the Pats missing their favorite redzone weapon with only 3 days to conjure up a scheme on how to replace Gronkowski's production.
Thats just my take. Good luck
I'm positive/ please don't ask ?'s / leaving for the holiday!

In case you live under a rock -- which isn't likely the case if you're reading this -- you know that there's no bigger party in professional golf than on the par-3 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. The atmosphere is that of a frat party. If you think a good shot is going to be greeted with a slow, "golf-clap," here, you're going to be extremely disappointed. This is the PGA Tour's version of Animal House.
Players that simply hit the green are given the loudest standing ovation they'll hear all year. Players that miss the green... well, they get rained upon with boos.
Over the years, No. 16 has gone from hectic to downright chaos -- the good, fun kind. Players have embraced it, endearing themselves to fans with various antics, whether it be handing out free hats, sunglasses (which Hunter Mahan did on Saturday), or actually getting on a microphone and singing like half of the golf, boy-band, "The Golf Boys" Bubba Watson and Ben Crane did after hitting their respective tee shots in 2012. The fans eat it up.
Sunday was no exception. And, if you didn't know who James Hahn was before Sunday, chances are you do now.
Hahn, a 31-year-old rookie on the PGA Tour, shot a magnificent round of 9-under 62 in the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday to jump from a tie for 42nd after 54 holes to a tie for 16th. Remarkably, it was Hahn's second, final-round 62 of the season, matching the mark he had at the Humana Challenge a few weeks back, where he tied for fourth.
On Sunday, Hahn made five birdies over his final six holes to leapfrog loads of players. But, it was one birdie in particular that will live in Phoenix Open lore for years to come.
With a revved up crowd packed into the totally enclosed par-3 16th at TPC Scottsdale, Hahn electrified the spectators by holing a 19-foot birdie putt. To celebrate, Hahn -- who was born in South Korea -- paid tribute to South Korean rapper Psy, who became famous worldwide in 2012 for his smash hit and accompanying dance, "Gangnam Style."
As soon as Hahn's putt dropped, he put the putter down and did the 'Gangnam Style' dance. Whether you like the song/dance or not, you have to admit -- Hahn did a darned good job!

Vacancies are low and developers are busy creating big new buildings; experts say it's a result of the housing resurgence
Southwest Florida's brightening business climate has led to a spike in demand for industrial space that runs the gamut from warehouses to flex offices and manufacturing plants.
That is because after years of being battered by the Great Recession, small- business operators are now moving out of their garages and into commerce parks from Palmetto to Port Charlotte at the fastest pace since the economic downturn.
Taken together, the industrial market has become the fastest-growing segment of commercial real estate in Southwest Florida, prompting developers to renovate older facilities and retrofit traditional office buildings for industrial uses.
Other landlords, meanwhile -- including industry giants such as Benderson Development Co. -- are breaking ground on speculative projects, the like of which has not seen since the Great Recession caused a plethora of industrial space to empty beginning six years ago.
"There has really been a turnaround," said Anthony Mazzucca, managing director of NAI Manasota, a commercial brokerage firm.
"We've just had no new construction of these facilities, so a lot of the spaces have since filled up over time. We're seeing all kinds of demand -- and from all kinds of industries."
Demand has risen so high that industrial space in Southwest Florida has surpassed the traditional office market -- and even retail -- with the healthiest occupancy rates and highest investment yields in commercial real estate, records show.
The trend comes as many companies are downsizing their traditional office needs with the advent of mobile devices and a growing acceptance of virtual meetings that allow more employees to work on the go.
By contrast, many industrial facilities are designed to house offices, warehouses and fleet storage on the same grounds.
Stan Rutstein, a commercial real estate specialist with the local Re/Max Alliance Group, says more and more companies are seeing the benefits associated with flexible industrial space.
"In the last 18 months, every (industrial) flex space building I had listed has been either sold or leased," Rutstein said. "I have nothing left."
The surge in the desire for industrial space is directly tied to the residential construction boomlet throughout Southwest Florida.
Through the first eight months of this year, builders in Sarasota and Manatee counties pulled permits to construct 2,108 new houses.
That represents a 53 percent spike from the same time in 2012 and a 98 percent leap from 2011, according to county records.
As a result, businesses from cabinet suppliers to granite countertop installers are renting new industrial spaces or expanding existing operations.
"Industrial space is the first to empty, but it's also the first to fill up," said Barry Seidel, president and founder of American Property Group of Sarasota Inc., a Sarasota commercial real estate brokerage firm.
"The reason is, construction is now recovering, so the tradespeople go back to work, and they need warehouses. That's the progression we're seeing."
Investors, too, have a renewed attraction to industrial space, because it is fetched better capitalization rates and yields than any other category of real estate in the second quarter.
The facilities now generate an average 9.05 percent return, based on the expected income that the property will generate, divided by the total value of the property. Industrial buildings also top the region with a 9.88 percent average yield, according to figures from the University of Florida.
As in many aspects of commercial real estate, very few industrial facilities were built during the market's crash between 2008 and 2011.
When the recession took hold, the stock of empty industrial space grew, as companies were forced to downsize, making it unfeasible for developers to compete with often discounted lease rates.
But demand for these buildings has come roaring back.
With supply remaining stagnant, there's now little left to choose from, a phenomenon that has pushed up rental prices.
"There's just such a shortage in the market for Class A, industrial-tech space," commercial broker Ian Black said. "Because it can be used for just about anything."
The upswing has even led developers to break ground on massive new industrial buildings.
In 2005, Benderson Development added a 700,000-square-foot phase to its Sarasota-Bradenton Commerce Center, near Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Today, it is 96 percent occupied.
That success pushed the company to consider an even bigger and bolder expansion.
Construction is now underway on a 150,000-square-foot industrial building Benderson is building for Berry Plastics.
On that same site, near U.S. 301 and Tallevast Road in South Manatee County, Benderson also is building an 83,000- square-foot, multitenant industrial facility.
The company expects that project to be fully leased before construction is completed, and plans for a third industrial building are taking shape.
"It's a very clean use that can also accommodate the large trucks," said Larry Fineberg, Benderson's executive director of office, industrial and warehouse space. "It's very easy for people to do business in that type of space."
Others are remodelling and expanding their buildings to fit more industrial needs.
That is been the case with Radiant Power Corp., which specializes in cabin and back-up power suppliers for commercial aircraft.
The subsidiary of Miami-based Heico Corp. has expanded its South Manatee headquarters twice over the past 18 months. Its space now totals more than 32,000 square feet, from 21,000 square feet.
As in the housing industry, recent improvements in the economy have lifted demand for Radiant's products, which have increased the company's need for additional engineering offices, cubicles and a new lab area.
Radiant has also expanded to accommodate a sister business that produces emergency beacons for airplanes. That business was moved here from Chicago.
As part of that growth, Radiant is installing two 50,000-gallon water tanks to be used to test ultrasonic beacons when submerged -- the first of their kind in Florida.
"We expanded our production due to increased volume," Radiant president Anish Patel said. "This gives us plenty of room."

I see KotA as the freestyle it should be. A mixture of unhooked an hooked tricks. But luckily, 70% height gets judged, so finally back to the origin of the sport.
I am different with my own style. I don't want anyone to do what I do, I just want to give inspirations for those who like what I do. It is not your style? Fine, but don't make it my problem, since I am having a blast, pushing in my way. We will see if this goes anywhere further, and if not, again, not my problem.
But don't forget, I am reflecting a lot of feedback I get daily. Which no one else gets like this.
So it is not only my opinion.
But looks like I forgot, other opinions don't count...
I for sure look forward to see a nice mixture of tricks at KotA.
Not my conditions, not my style, not worth the risk, that's why I am not there.
I will look closely at the hooked tricks they pull, if there is anything new, or still what they do since years. I hope they get inspired too from what I do. But I alreday see some more different things from some riders which they didn't do before...so good to see they get inspired too.
For sure they jump higher in these winds than me in my 20 knots. That's why I call it Airstyle and not big air.
Fine now? Or want to diss me more? If so, let's talk about age...

No Breeze, No Racing In Harbor Springs
31 July 2010
Harbor Springs, Mich. (July 31) - The 2010 Melges 32 U.S. National Championship is officially two-thirds complete. With only one day left to race, Ryan DeVos (Harbor Springs, Mich.) on Volpe leads by a substantial margin followed by John Kilroy, Jr. (Los Angeles, Calif.) on Samba Pa Ti and John Porter (Winnetka, Ill.) on Full Throttle, second and third respectively.
No racing took place today, due to the absence of wind. PRO Bruce Golison kept the fleet well informed, but ended up pulling the plug around 3 o'clock. The discussion was of course, what was the forecast for Sunday. "Generally speaking if the breeze arrives, it may not be until the afternoon. The NOR and Sailing Instructions clearly state the we cannot start a race after two. So, we'll have to do our best and wait and see." said Golison.
Competition is taken quite seriously in the Melges 32 class. Without enough breeze for suitable racing, they found other ways to entertain themselves. For example, DeVos' Volpe and John Taylor's (Jupiter, Fla.) Ninkasi decided to take matters into their own hands with a little bit of paddle board racing. On the city dock, it was a beer-festive relay encouraged by Heineken with Volpe taking the win. Other teams like Michael Dominguez's (Newport, R.I.) Bronco and Rod Jabin's (Annapolis, Md.)Ramrod found go-cart racing and miniature golf just their speed. Joe Wood's (Torquay, UK) Red took a fancy liking to tennis and the countless ice cream and coffee shops down Main St. kept everyone well nourished as they awaited Golison's decision.
Looking ahead to Sunday's racing, there is likely to be a fox hunt. Guaranteed the dogs will be called, buggles and horns will sound as Kilroy will attempt to chase down the young DeVos. Porter's Full Throttle team will be full steam ahead as they only sit two points out of second place. Beyond, the points spread is tight. Woods and Jabin sit fourth and fifth, dead even with 33 points each. One point separates sixth place holder Jason Carroll (New York, N.Y.) on Argo and Bob Hughes (Macatawa Bay, Mich.) on Heartbreaker in seventh. Rounding out the top ten is Jeff Ecklund (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) onSTAR in eighth, Taylor is ninth and Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on roXanne is tenth.
After a day of fun activity, teams are ready to enjoy the famous Ugotta Regatta 50th Anniversary party. Held at Little Traverse Yacht Club, in addition to the 15 Melges 32 teams, 70 other event entries are in attendance, making it a monumental big party bash.
On Friday evening, the Irish Boatshop Party was another staple social event in Harbor Springs.Check Out The Photo Gallery as the beer flowed freely to a great band. It was the perfect afternoon for a kick-off party!

In 5 years he has coached 2 NCAA Champions, including 2007 NCAA Long Jump Champion Dashalle Andrews who became the first individual men's NCAA Champion in CSUN history. The following spring in March 2008, Anderson coached freshman Reindell Cole to the NCAA Indoor National Championship, giving CSUN back to back national champions in the same event.
In 2009 the Matadors enjoyed one of its most successful track and field seasons as both the men's and women's teams easily outpaced its competition at the Big West Conference Championship meet. The men's team captured the title by scoring 176.5 points, 40 points more than it's closest competitor. Not to be outdone, the women's team scored 198 points to capture the title, winning by 83 points over the second place. Athletes coached by Anderson accounted for 127 of the 176 points scored for the men's team, and 163 of the 198 points scored for the women's team, while winning 13 events at the meet.
2009 also saw sophomore Reindell Cole post the top mark in the NCAA in the Long Jump with a leap of 26'11 ¾". Cole, who won the Texas Relays crown, was part of a trio of Matadors coached by Anderson to earn Athlete of the Meet honors at the Cal/Nevada Championships. Along with Deshawn Waters and Sherrina Lofton, the Matadors garnered 3 of the 4 athlete of the meet honors. This type of success is becoming much more common for Northridge athletes since Anderson's arrival at CSUN. While surprising to some, Anderson expects nothing less.
"Get used to it. That's CSUN track and field. My mission is to develop successful people. Not just on the track, but in the classroom, your career path, life, wherever. And that carries over to the track. I'm determined to develop athletes of all levels into great athletes who compete at the highest level. That's why you see Northridge athletes winning national championships, or Texas relays titles, or whatever. You may or may not have been the best coming here, but you're going to aspire to develop into the best by the time you leave here. I feel that if I can create that, the athletes will know that they can always do anything in life." This ideal was no more evident than in 2008 when Anderson coached individual athletes to the National Championships in the 100, 200, 400, the hurdles, long jump, triple jump, high jump and multi event competitions.
In his time at CSUN as the coach of sprints, hurdles, jumps, relays and multi event athletes, Anderson has coached athletes to 28 NCAA Championship berths, more than 60 NCAA regional qualifiers, and more than 150 marks to Northridge's all time record book.
Prior to returning to Northridge for his second stint, Anderson worked as a volunteer assistant at Kansas State(2002-2004) and UCLA(2001-2002). He worked as a volunteer assistant at Cal State Northridge during the 1999-2001 seasons while competing as a decathlete. Anderson still owns the CSUN complex record in the decathlon which he set in 2000 to qualify for the US Olympic Trials.
Before returning to the sport of track and field, Anderson played wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts from 1996-1997 before a back injury ended his career.
A 1996 graduate of UCLA, Anderson earned degrees in Political Science and Sociology while competing in football and track. He was a member of the NCAA runner up 4x100 relay team his senior season, and played in the 1994 Rose Bowl.
Anderson married the former Bridget Pearson, who coaches the Matador pole vaulters, assists with the multi events, and is the strength and conditioning coach for the track and field team. The couple are the proud parents of their son, Andy.

|LAD Series 4, Timor Balatro doll
by Ufuoma Urie
I didn't want to break the halloween tradition so here's another Little Apple Doll to share. Unfortunately, I was working this evening so I didn't have time to look for the story book that came with her and I really can't recall how her story fits into the LAD universe. If I'm not mistaken, she's some sort of a trickster and she's got a little brother. Anyway, I love what's she's wearing...almost "christmassy" with the candy cane colors, making her look a little cheery and haunting at the same time.
Happy Halloween!

The weather panel applet is broken. I understand it has been broken since about the first of the month because it was coded to get data from weather.com, which cut us off when they started requiring a paid subscription. Is there any hope for this applet? Is there another (free) feed that it can be set to? Or is there a way to use the Gnome panel weather applet (which still works)?
Linguistics on Linux!
This site shows the Gnome weather applet running in an Xfce panel using xfapplet.
http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel- … let-plugin
Supposedly xfapplet allows you to run almost all Gnome panel applets that are installed.
I added the xfapplet to my Xfce panel, but the list of available Gnome applets is very short and does not list the Gnome weather applet. Yet I have Gnome installed as well as Xfce4 on this computer (Fedora 14, x86_64), and I have the Gnome weather applet in my Gnome panel. Therefore, it must be installed. Unfortunately, Thunar can't find it, Yum Extender can't find it, and I can't find it.
When I am in Gnome I have tons of applets available to add to the Gnome panel, where xfapplet shows only half a dozen. There must be a way to tell xfapplet where my Gnome panel applets are located, but I can't find any documentation that tells me how.
Any suggestions?
Linguistics on Linux!
Don't remember the details, but some time ago I read that xfapplet did not support "newer" applets ... at that time, newer was gnome 2.3.x
Today with gnome 3 I think that xfapplet will not have much future, at least imho
If you use xubuntu, try indicator-weather (it uses indicator plugin for xfce panel, don't know if it's supported outside xubuntu, sadly...)

No xubuntu here; I'm using Fedora 16, x86_64. I found the web page for indicator applet. Apparently I could download the source and compile it, if I knew how.
As for newer/older, I used the Gnome weather applet for many years, and it's still there if I log in to Gnome 2.3.2 on my Lucid desktop computer. I haven't actually ever logged into Gnome 3 since upgrading to Fedora 16. I tried the live CD and that was enough.
More important, there has been a discussion lately of the Xfce weather applet on the Debian listserv. (Xfce seems to be popular among Debianites.) Apparently there is a new version of the Xfce weather applet that works and is currently available in the Debian Testing repos.
Linguistics on Linux!
The patch is already in the git version.
http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/ , Commit message Start parsing yr.no xml .
I've tested it under fedora 16 and it works again. :-)
Edit: The weather forecast doesn 't work yet with this development version

Life's too short for boring desktops
I see the file, but I'd still have to compile it.
In several years of running Linux I have tried to compile programs maybe a dozen times. I have yet to get one to work. I'll wait until there is a package.

I have a working alternative (in my opinion, anyway) using the panel generic monitor plugin. As written, It only works in the USA, as it uses our National Weather Service mobile pages as its data source. Using it requires editing a Bash script and manually configuring the plugin. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to post the code here, assuming that's permissible by forum rules. (Moderators, any comment?)
As I've configured it, this plugin puts the current temperature on the panel, and beside it an icon of your choice to indicate the absence or presence of severe weather alerts. The tooltip shows current conditions and the time of the observation. Clicking on the temperature or icon can be configured to open your favorite local weather page in the browser of your choice.
Additional disclaimer: I can't be certain that all NWS forecast offices use the same formatting that I've designed this to work with. So it may not even work for all locations in the USA! One way to find out...
I'd be interested in your script
I'd be interested in your script
Thanks for your interest! I hope you aren't disappointed.
As stated in my previous message, this is only for those who live in the USA (or want to monitor weather at a location in the USA), because it uses the US National Weather Service mobile weather pages as its data source. Maybe someone can modify it to work with services that are available in other countries.
First of all go to the mobile weather home page, which seem to follow a uniform format across the country (but of course I can't be certain of that):
Enter the location you want. When you arrive at that locality's home page, you will find links to six other pages. You need to get the URLs for two of those links. The "Current Conditions" URL will be referred to as [CURURL] below and the "Hazardous Weather" will be [WARNURL].
You will also need some icons. I have Gnome installed on the machine where I'm now using XFCE, and I found some usable icons under /usr/share/icons/gnome/. I chose the 22x22 icons. If you wish to use the same icons (or at least, icons with the same names), packages of Gnome icons seem to be freely available at http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon and individual icons are on Wikimedia Commons at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categ … ktop_icons in svg format. The weather icons I used are in the "status" folder, except the "generic emblem" icon (used as a fallback if we can't find a match with conditions), which is in the "emblems" folder.
Of course, you can use any icons you want, but you will have to edit the icon section of the script to use different file names. If you use the Gnome icons with the same names, all you need to do is replace [ICONPATH] with the correct value.
Or you can use no icons, if all you want is the current temperature on the panel and a tooltip with the current sky condition; without an icon of some sort, you will lose the ability to click on the icon and start your browser.
The script will create the file "curwxcdn.xml" in your home directory. That's the file the genmon plugin uses.
The genmon plugin does NOT run this script. You'll need to take of that yourself. I have cron configured to run it on system startup, and a few minutes after the top of every hour. The NWS does not update its mobile "current conditions" pages more than once an hour, so please do not set it up to run more often than that. The Hazardous Weather pages may be updated more often, so I'm considering a version that checks hazards more frequently, but only downloads conditions once an hour. Until that's done, this is what's available.
With those preliminaries out of the way, here's the script. It's untested, except by me, and it's not pretty. I'm sure much of it could be written better, and I hope that anyone who improves on it will post their version:
#Get local weather conditions and warnings for locations in the USA

I have the genmon plugin configured to run "cat curwxcdn.xml" every 60 seconds and capture the output. And I'm using "Sans 12" as the font. No label.
Good luck!
Thanks, I'll give it a go in a bit. I just learned how to change the font color for Xfce's weather applet so I am not in a hurry but I would like to give it a try.

So the panel weather applet is working for you? That's good news!
Yeah, the fix showed up in the beginning of December or there abouts in Debian Wheezy.
My problem was that I use a light theme with my desktop being an image that is very dark. I like transparent panels, so the black text of the weather applet was hard to read. Especially hard when I glance at my screen as I am about to leave to see what I should wear for the bike ride. I had to create another panel and give it a light background so I could see the temp. I didn't like that. I also ran desklets, but I thought that was a waste for one item. After much searching, I finally found a way to get the text to show up in a color of my choice. Much better now and no more desklets.
Hi Slighooker,
Can you tell how you do to select the text color of the applet text?
Sure. First I saw the tip about the gtkrc files at http://wiki.xfce.org/tips. I added these to my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. There was nothing about the text, so I added it. This worked, but I didn't want it in that file in case I wanted to use a different theme in the future that wouldn't work well with those additions. So, I copied the themes I wanted to my ~/.themes directory and modified the gtkrc files for each theme. I then commented the lines in the .gtkrc-2.0 file. This also worked.
My ~/.themes/[theme name]/gtkrc file:
style "panel-color" {
fg[ACTIVE] = "#111111"
bg[NORMAL] = "#edeff2"
bg[PRELIGHT] = "#213d60"
bg[ACTIVE] = "#042230"
font_name = "bold"
text[NORMAL] = "#cccc33" # color for the text in the weather applet
widget "*PanelWidget*" style "panel-color"
widget "*PanelApplet*" style "panel-color"
widget "*Panel*" style "panel-color" # Changes the selected Background around the trash applet
widget_class "*Panel*" style "panel-color" # Used to change the weather applet in Xfce text color also background in the panel selected, active, etc. buttons
#class "*Panel*" style "panel-color"
#class "*Tray*" style "panel-color"
#class "*tray*" style "panel-color"
I then commented the parts that didn't seem to do anything for my setup and changed somethings for my liking. I also put the comments in for me to understand later. There is one problem with this. The way I have it, the text color for the weather applet is also the text color when you try to add a new items to the panel. If you pick white and the background of the new item selection window is white, you won't be able to read it. You can when you select an item though. I didn't like that, so I picked another color that I am happy with. In my case a bolded red. It's kind of strange in the new item window, but I rarely use that, so it is not important to me.
There might be a way to just use the .gtkrc file for just the weather applet, but I haven't dived into learning gtk enough to do that yet. But I think you can use regular expressions to distinguish different items, I might be wrong though. My comments in the code above should allow you to change the text color, if you have any questions, I'll try to help but I am not an expert at gtk in any form.
Oh, to see the changes, just switch themes, then back to the one you modified.
The latest Debian Squeeze update (6.0.5) updates "xfce4-weather-plugin". It now works on my panel with no fiddling around.

That's the source code you have. The easiest way is to see if you can install it from your distro's repos. You don't say which distro you are using.
It has been a long time since I started this thread, and I'm happy to see that progress has been made.
Before I go further, my location is Portland, OR USA 97217.
My laptop still has Fedora 16 (will upgrade to 18 soon), but until the other day my desktop had Lucid x86_64. A power outage blew out my Bluetooth computer-sound-to-stereo device on that computer, plus I had been ignoring updates for ages, so I just wiped it out and installed Xubuntu 12.04 x86_64.
I never tried getting the weather app on my laptop, because I could always glance at the desktop with the Gnome weather app in its panel. But now that the desktop has Xfce I decided to try he weather app. It runs great. And then I installed it on my Fedora 16 laptop. Not quite so great. Plus there are differences that I can't figure out.
Fedora 16 laptop has xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.2-1
Xubuntu 12.04 desktop has xfce4-weather plugin 0.7.4-3
Both installed from respective repositories.
Now, on both computers I have configured the panel on the left side of the screen, 100 pixels wide, 75 pixels tall, not locked. I realize this is not standard, but that's what I like because it maximizes my vertical space for text documents..
On both computers, because the panel is so wide, the weather conditions icons are huge. I wish I could just delete them altogether. I do have a real window in the house made of genuine glass that I can look out of to tell if is sunny or cloudy or whatever. Mostly I just want the outside temperature, and occasionally I want to check the forecast.
On the Xubuntu computer the temperature displays correctly under the weather condition icon. On the Fedora laptop the temperature displays rotated 90 degrees clockwise, because apparently the applet thinks it is in a horizontal panel. Note that the Xubuntu computer has the temperature display correct, yet it is the older of the two versions. In other words, I wish I could go back to the older version for the Fedora laptop.
As I write this the laptop says the outside temperature is 5.2 C, and the Xubuntu desktop says the temperature is 4 C. The Fedora laptop says it last checked the temperature at 5:00 pm, although at the moment it is 4:13. Amazing plugin - it can even foretell the temperature at future times.
Doubtless the temperature difference is because the Fedora laptop is set to The Norwegian Meteorological Institute, while on the Xubuntu computer the plugin is set to The Weather Channel (weather.com). Perhaps foretelling the future is a skill that only Norwegians have. I also have an outdoor thermometer and it reads about 4 C, so the Norwegians may be able to foretell the future, but they're not doing so hot at reporting the present.
All things considered, I'd like to uninstall 0.8.2-1 from my laptop and install the older 0.7.4-3 because it's more accurate and the text displays properly. Unfortunately, I don't know an easy way to do this. In theory I could take the .deb package from Xubuntu, convert it to .rpm with Alien, and then install it on the laptop. Is there an easier or more reliable way? Or does anyone have alternative ideas or suggestions?

Thanks! Got it!
I started by trying to erase 8.4.2-1 using Yumex. Right-clicking on it gave me the option to reinstall, but not to remove. Odd. And there was also an option to downgrade to 7.4.2, but I was unable to select the downgrade option. Very strange. So finally I erased 8.4.2-1 using the command line, then installed 0.7.4-2 from the command line. All went without error.
But when I try to add it to the panel it does not appear in Add New Items. I wonder what the trigger is to get the panel to realize it is available.

I'm running 4.10 and the Norway weather service.
Unfortunately the weather is at least 15 degrees F off today.
It averages anywhere from 5 to 15 degrees wrong depending on the day.
Is there a way to change to the NWS or something?

Chapter One
Spiritual Problem SolvingThe solution to the problem of the day is the awakening of the consciousness of humanity to the divinity within.
—Hazrat Inayat Khan
Can you make a flower grow? Probably your first response is, "Such a simple thing to do. Plant a seed in some dirt, provide sunlight and water and in time a flower will emerge. The proof isthat there are millions upon millions of flowers sprouting all over the world at this moment!"
That is certainly true. However, I am inviting you to reread the question and consider who or what generates the life that makes a flower grow, because the who or what is the source of solutions to all our problems.
Who or what causes the flower seed to blossom, and the tiny embryo to become a human being? Who or what grows our finger-nails and beats our heart even as we sleep? Who or what is behind the movement of the winds, which we feel but never see? What is this force that keeps the planets in place and hurls our world through the galaxy at a breathtaking speed? These questions have been asked for as long as humans have had the ability to contemplate their existence.
Spirit is what I have chosen to call the formless, invisible energy which is the source and sustenance of life on this planet. This force, no matter the name we give it, can solve every problem that we encounter. There is a spiritual solution to every problem, we only need to learn how to access it. In this book I will explain ways that I have found to access this force. I will begin by explaining the three basic steps to finding your spiritual solutions to problems.
I first read about these steps when I immersed myself in How to Know God: The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali, written sometime between the fourth century B.C. and the fourth century A.D. These spiritual disciplines and techniques were written to enable a person to achieve the ultimate unitive knowledge of God. I will refer to this powerful collection of writings frequently, and share with you how this knowledge can be applied in your life.
I trust you will discover for yourself that these things you have come to label as problems have a ready solution available to you right now, in this moment, in that world we are calling spirit.
The First of Three Steps for Accessing Spiritual Direction
Recognition: It may appear obvious that one must first recognize something before applying it, but this is actually the most troublesome step in moving toward spiritual illumination.
Recognizing the availability of an invisible force that can be put to use in solving a problem, requires overcoming a great deal of our early training and conditioning. Have you ever thought about the limitations we experience when we identify ourselves as only a physical body in material existence?
For instance, do you believe there is only one kind of power or knowledge, which relies on your sensory or intellectual faculties to solve problems? Most of us have been taught this is true and that all of the information that has been acquired is the total inventory of options available to us. This is a conditioned attitude of nonrecognition of our divine connection to spiritual problem solving.
In this state of nonrecognition we believe that medicines, herbs, surgery, and doctors are responsible for all healing, or that improving one's financial picture involves the exclusive application of working hard, studying, interviewing, and sending out résumés. In essence, nonrecognition leads us to believe that our knowledge is limited to those kinds of phenomena, which are explainable through our sensory functions.
Patanjali described a kind of knowledge or power that is not accessed solely through the material or sensory world. Recognition that this power exists and is always available is the first step in acti-vating it. However, it is not accessed solely through the teachings of others, or through ancient writings, just as we do not dream because someone teaches or writes about dreaming. Recognizing, like dreaming, is something we access by making an inner and outer commitment to our ability to recognize.
For example, in this first step when you are faced with a problem, I suggest you create a personal affirmation such as: "I may not know exactly how to access the spiritual solution here, but I fully recognize that a spiritual solution exists." By recognition of its existence, we invite the power to be known by us.
As physical beings we can make a flower grow in the sense of the response to the question in the opening sentence of this book. But if we are thoughtful we realize that we cannot even begin to unravel the mystery of the invisible force that initiates life. Yet it is in this omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent spiritual world that we find the solutions to all our problems. This spiritual force is everywhere and in every thing and every one. When we incorporate the first step, recognition, we begin the process of accessing this all-knowingpower.
The Second of Three Steps for Accessing Spiritual Direction
Realization: We discover that knowledge achieved by realization is of a much higher order than intellectual reasoning.
This is not an exercise in intellectual reasoning. In this step we go beyond recognition of a spiritual presence into the phase of realization where nothing but our own personal experience is trusted. We become an explorer in virgin territory where no one but ourselves can be. Here, only you can validate your experience.
Our desire to realize the presence is an integral part of the unexplainable dynamic that creates life. When we actively meditate on a chosen spiritual ideal or even a given personality we are expressing our desire by inviting the presence to be accessible...There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem.

Court Says Team Prenda 'Flat-Out Lied' To Court; Hits Them With $261k More In Attorneys' Fees To Pay Up
from the boom dept
Southern District of Illinois Judge Patrick Murphy is having none of that. In a scathing opinion he rips to shreds the arguments of Duffy, Hansmeier and Steele. Beyond noting the basic procedural deficiencies in their own filings (once again, they don't seem to actually understand the law and just fling as much shit at the wall as possible, and the judge clearly recognizes this), he also appears to be well aware of the larger scam Team Prenda has been pulling. There's a long discussion about the claim that Hansmeier and Steele weren't properly served, in which the judge makes it clear this is simply beyond belief. Here's just a snippet of a much longer discussion:
First and foremost, Steele's claim that he never got notice of Smith's motion for fees is baseless. A review of CM/ECF records reveals that notice of Smith's motion for attorney fees (Doc. 61) went to numerous email addresses, including: email@example.com—an email address used by both Steele and Paul Duffy. Therefore, it is irrefutable that Steele had actual notice of Smith's motion for attorney fees prior to the Court's order granting the motion.The judge also points out the tremendous evidence that Steele, Hansmeier and Duffy are working quite closely together on all of this anyway.
Aside from being from the same firm, there is other evidence suggesting these three men worked in concert with one another. First, Duffy, Steele, and Hansmeier used each other's CM/ECF login information, and/or filed documents on behalf of one another. For example, both Steele and Hansmeier used Duffy's CM/ECF login information to enter their appearances, or Duffy attempted to do so for them (See Doc. 11, 15); Hansmeier also used Steele's CM/ECF login information to file his motion to continue, or Steele filed it on Hansmeier's behalf (Doc. 73). Second, the similarities in documents filed by Duffy, Steele, and Hansmeier indicate an ongoing relationship. For example, in the instant motions to vacate/reconsider, the three men use identical formatting from the caption, to the font, and the signature block, and the substance is largely the same...Then, of course, there's the citation to the numerous other cases that have found against Team Prenda, and noted that those three are clearly in control. The judge also notes that even if they didn't have notice, they clearly had notice in time for a later hearing and still their filings did not state any actual grounds for relief. Basically, the judge points out that they absolutely knew about all of this, and he won't overturn the original decision because for all the shit they threw at the wall, none of it actually stuck.
But then the judge goes further. He calls them liars. He doesn't dance around it. He flat out calls them on it.
The Court also finds that Duffy, Hansmeier, and Steele exhibited a "serious and studied disregard for the orderly process of justice." .... These men have shown a relentless willingness to lie to the Court on paper and in person, despite being on notice that they were facing sanctions in this Court, being sanctioned by other courts, and being referred to state and federal bars, the United States Attorney in at least two districts, one state Attorney General, and the Internal Revenue Service. For example, at the November 13 hearing, Hansmeier skirted the Court's direct questions, Steele made feigned protestations, and both flat-out lied about their association with Prenda Law, Inc. in the face of documentary evidence on the record in this case, and their sworn declarations in other cases.In the end, the judge grants all the requests for attorneys' fees, adding yet another $261,025.11 to the rapidly increasing total from other cases. I imagine it won't end there, though it's unlikely anyone will see any of that money. Instead, we're all still waiting for the main act, when the criminal charges almost certainly arrive.
