Breaking News
Sean Bean -- who played Eddard Stark on "Game of Thrones" -- was arrested in London yesterday on suspicion of harassing his ex-wife.
According to the Daily Mail, the 53-year-old actor has been accused of making abusive phone calls and sending a bunch of text messages to his 4th wife Georgina Sutcliffe.
Bean was reportedly bailed out after being questioned and fingerprinted at a London police station.
Bean and Sutcliffe divorced back in 2010.
So far, no comment from Bean's camp.

The Pursuit of Simple: Simplify and Save Series
I hope to help you simplify and save your way to a stress free, debt free, and fun filled life. I have been writing articles for years on various topics usually business related, all the while experimenting with ways to simplify my family's life and save money, the environment and my sanity in the process. My focus isn't on frugality as much as getting to a place where everything has a place and there is a place for everything, no clutter physcially or mentally and more importantly a happy place where you and your financial means match to create a peace of mind. Feel free to view my blog where I will post some Eureka moments or the free article section.
Check out my author page on Amazon where all my books can be purchased in Kindle or Print format or check the books link above to order from this website.
"The more people deviate from the natural simple life and move toward luxury,
the more human stress increases. And as worldly politeness expands, simplicity,
joy and the natural human smile are lost."

Easy Gluten-free Lunches and Snacks
Print and Kindle
This book is based on the idea of preparing simple, easy, and for the most part healthy lunch and snack choices that are also gluten-free. They may even be
vegan and/or lactose-free, definitely no corn, bean or soy products. And where
possible they are as inexpensive as possible, since being celiac or gluten intolerant can get expensive. Since the focus is on simple and easy the fewest ingredients are used and there is one all purpose inexpensive (well as an inexpensive as gluten-free flour can be) flour mix. This is of course because the author takes no joy in confusing the heck out of cooks with a different flour mix for each and every recipe. You will also not find weird and wacky ingredient lists to be 'different.' Included in the book are recipes for bread, hamburger buns, wraps, pita, tacos and crackers that are cheaper than buying them helping celiac and gluten intolerant people with their food budgets. The
recipes are easy to make and use the fewest ingredients. Allen believes in keeping it simple and that it is healthier to cook from scratch, as well as, financially more sustainable. This book was created to share the simple tricks learned in the hope of preventing others from going years and years without decent bread products among other things. So here are the author's secrets to share with the world in this simple cookbook. Hoping they work for you, as well as, they have worked for Allen in her totally gluten-free kitchen.

FAYETTEVILLE, NC - Last February, promoter Greg Price went head-to-head with Super Bowl Sunday for his Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling reunion in Charlotte, the city of one of the participants in the big game.
So Price suspected he was in the clear last weekend for his first NWA Legends Fanfest in this western Carolina city.
Enter Hurricane Charley.
The storm that blew a whirlwind of devastation throughout the southern United States grounded many fans and even some wrestlers, most notably Dory Funk Jr. of Florida, who had hoped to attend the showcase of National Wrestling Alliance stars from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
"Who would have thought the weather would be a problem in the middle of August?" Price said. "But I think everybody had a good time."
In fact, the 400 or so souls who braved the rains - and the hotels jammed with stranded travelers - were treated to a well-run show that featured the likes of Mick Foley ("Cactus Jack" to NWA fans), Ricky Steamboat, Ole Anderson, Tully Blanchard, The Rock 'n' Roll Express duo of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, and more than a dozen others.
"I feel sorry for Greg Price because of the weather. You can't predict some things," said J.J. Dillon, manager of the legendary Four Horsemen who now works for the sate of Delaware. "But it means a lot to me just to be here."
Added former "Freebird" Jimmy Garvin, who offered up an assortment of DVDs, shirts, and barbecue sauce: "The response here is just unbelievable. I'm just so pleased so many people remember us so fondly."
In fact, that fondness caused Ole Anderson, one of the most sinister villains to grace Mid-Atlantic rings, to do a double take when he was wildly applauded upon his introduction by NWA TV announcer Bob Caudle.
"I never in my life walked into the ring when people cheered me," Anderson said in mock indignation. "All my career, all I heard was people yell, 'Boo, you son of a ... ' "
With that, he egged on the crowd to deliver a chorus of boos, and, after he had been satisfactorily scorned, declared: "Good! I feel better."
A highlight of the weekend festivities was the freewheeling question-and-answer sessions with Tully Blanchard, and Morton and Gibson.
Blanchard, who was joined by Baby Doll, his former valet, and Dillon, talked openly about his conversion from a wild life on the road to his present-day work as an ordained minister specializing in outreach to prisoners.
After he failed a drug test in 1989, Blanchard went from WWF world tag team champion to unemployment in 11 days. "That would be a shocker to you, but to me, I was absolutely blown away by it. How in the world can I be out of professional wrestling?"
After praying for help, Blanchard was reborn spiritually and has become well known in and out of wrestling for his calling. Even former NBA star Charles Barkley - "a tremendous Four Horsemen fan," Blanchard noted - recently telephoned to congratulate him on "making it."
While he pays relatively little attention to today's wrestling, Blanchard said he was concerned that Ric Flair, his Four Horseman stable mate, could be sullying his legacy by wrestling well into his 50s, so far past his prime years.
"I feel sorry for Ric. He's making the money and he's still a household word. He should be held in tremendously high esteem for the ability and the things that he gave to this business and that may be tarnished to a great degree," Blanchard cautioned.
Dillon, a former WWF and WCW executive, agreed, adding that Flair's in-ring work "reflects on the state of the business. They don't have somebody to replace him. That's why they've got to send him out there."
Morton and Gibson kept things moving during their two-hour interaction with fans. Bouncing around the stage, Morton described the development of the Rock 'n' Express into one of the hottest babyface teams of the last 20 years.
Because of their diminutive stature, the pair had to work particularly hard to reach main event status in a time when larger wrestlers ruled the top of the card. As evidence, Morton recalled the first time he and Gibson squared off with Ole and Arn Anderson.
"I hit him [Ole] 700 times and he's holding that top rope," Morton said, pounding his hand into his fist for emphasis. "Needless to say, what he was trying to abuse me or use me. So I just stopped. I went right to the middle of the ring in front of 10,000 people and I just took a big ole' bump on my back.
"Ole looked down at me and said, 'Man, what are you doing?' I said, 'Man, you wouldn't take a bump - I thought I would,'" Morton said to a hysterical audience. "But after that, I got respect from him."
One dark cloud inside the fan festival, held at the Clarion Hotel, was the behavior of former NWA world champion Tommy Rich. Several fans complained Rich was overly sarcastic and boorish during an autograph session Saturday afternoon. At one point, he told a patron in a wheelchair to "hurry up," according to several accounts.
About halfway through the three-hour session, Rich left the stage and went to his hotel room. He later spoke with Price, but did not return to the event and will not be on future guest lists, Price said.
"Sometimes you just have to deal with it and do the best you can," Price said.
Additionally, Stan Lane, who wrestled frequently in Fayetteville as part of the Midnight Express, was a late arrival for an autograph appearance on Saturday. He collected part of his fee, signed a few autographs in the hotel lobby, and departed.
Price's next show is scheduled for Nov. 26-28 in Charlotte, NC. Jack and Jerry Brisco, Paul Jones, and Harley Race are among the featured stars. Check out midatlanticlegends.com for more information.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Monday, September 18, 2006
Frank McCarthy
Certain top illustrators have become identified with a specific genre they illustrated extensively: Robert McCall for his jets and spaceships, Coby Whitmore for his gorgeous women and their rakish suitors, and for Frank McCarthy, it would have to be his beautifully realized Western scenes, like the one you see above.
But recently I discovered that McCarthy did some excellent work for Collier's in other genres during the early to mid-50's.
This week we'll take a look at some of that other work by illustrator Frank McCarthy.

Back in fall 2003, the producers of the NBC remake of the British hit "The Office" were looking for comic actors to work at their fictional paper company. Eventually, the top roles went to relative unknowns Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski and Steve Carell in the star-making role of Michael Scott.
But those actors didn't just waltz into the roles. They auditioned and competed against a large number of other, equally talented performers for the roles. And in the 10 years since those auditions, many of those actors and actresses have gone on to establish successful careers outside of the friendly confines of the Dunder-Mifflin office in Scranton, Pa. Which is probably why the producers of the recently ended hit felt comfortable releasing their original audition tapes.
The video will be available on the season 9 DVD set, which will be released in September.
PHOTOS: Memorable TV series finales
Yes, Rainn Wilson was so good in the role of deluded office schemer Dwight Schrute, but amazingly, he beat out Seth Rogen for the role. Rogen's breakout role in "Knocked Up" was four years away.
Adam Scott, who has charmed millions on executive producer Greg Daniels' other NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation," lost the role of office nice-guy Jim Halpert to Krasinski.
And Kathryn Hahn was midway through her run on the NBC drama "Crossing Jordan" when she auditioned for the role of receptionist Pam Beesley. Hahn stars with Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis in the big-screen comedy "We're the Millers."
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
Bob Odenkirk was already well known to fans of his HBO sketch comedy series "Mr. Show" when he auditioned to play Michael Scott. Carell got the role, but Odenkirk went on to play a very Michael Scott-ish boss in a later episode of the series. And he's also landed a leading role on the critically acclaimed AMC drama "Breaking Bad."
And even the minor roles had actors with great talent auditioning. The role of office manchild Kevin, played with a disturbing mix of innocence and base instincts by Brian Baumgartner, could have gone to future Emmy winner Eric Stonestreet. Stonestreet went on to land a starring role on the ABC comedy "Modern Family," where he's become a breakout star in the role of Cam.

Revision as of 20:11, 6 October 2013
The Xilinx ISE WebPACK is a complete FPGA/CPLD programmable logic design suite providing:
- Specification of programmable logic via schematic capture or Verilog/VHDL
- Synthesis and Place & Route of specified logic for various Xilinx FPGAs and CPLDs
- Functional (Behavioral) and Timing (post-Place & Route) simulation
- Download of configuration data into target device via communications cable
While Arch Linux is not one of the officially supported distributions, many features are known to work on Arch Linux.
- 1 Prerequisites
- 2 Installation
- 3 Post-Installation Fixes and Tweaks
If you plan to develop software for an embedded ARM core (e.g. for Xilinx Zynq SoC devices), you will want to install the GCC cross-compiler bundled included with the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK). This compiler requires the glibc and ncurses packages. For i686 installations, these will most likely be already present.
If you are on a 64-bit Arch installation, you need to install them from the multilib repository (lib32-glibc and lib32-ncurses).
Default Shell
During the installation, the Mentor CodeSourcery toolchains for embedded processors can be installed along with the Xilinx tools. This installation silently fails when the default shell is set to "dash". Make sure
/usr/bin/sh points to
This can be checked by running this command:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/sh
If the output looks like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 13 Mar 06:47 /usr/bin/sh -> bash
/usr/bin/sh already points to
/usr/bin/bash (the default in Arch Linux).
If not, run the following commands as root:
$ rm /usr/bin/sh $ ln -s bash /usr/bin/sh
The ISE Design Tools can be downloaded from the official download page. It requires registration and licensing agreement, but there is no charge, i.e. it's free as in "free beer", but not free as in "free speech".
Once the tarballs has been downloaded, unpack it:
$ tar -xvf Xilinx_ISE_DS_14.6_P.68d_3.tar
The ISE design tools installer is a Qt application. If you are running the KDE desktop environment, the installer may try to load the "Oxygen" widget theme, which will fail due to the older Qt framework bundled with the Xilinx ISE design tools. You need to remove the
QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable before executing the installer:
$ unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH
Then, install the ISE Design Tools:
$ cd Xilinx_ISE_DS_14.6_P.68d_3 $ ./xsetup
Follow the instructions to install the ISE. By default, the whole application is installed to
/opt/Xilinx/, so make sure the user running the installer has permissions to write to this directory.
During installation, uncheck the "Install Cable Drivers" option. Leaving it checked will cause errors during the installation.
Launching the ISE design tools
The ISE design tools include a shell script that modifies the environment variables (mostly PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH). This script must be sourced before starting the ISE tools:
$ source /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/settings64.sh
or, for a 32-bit installation:
$ source /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/settings32.sh
Then, the ISE design tools will be found in your PATH and can be started by typing their name in the terminal (e.g.
xsdk, ...)
License Installation
After requesting a WebPACK license from Xilinx using their Licensing Site, you will be e-mailed a license file. This file can be imported with the Xilinx License Manager (run
xlcm -manage from the terminal).
Another way to import the license is to simply copy it to the
~/.Xilinx directory.
Node-Locked Licenses
Arch Linux by default uses systemd's Predictable Network Interface Names. This means that your system will most likely not have its network interfaces named "eth0", "eth1" and so forth.
However, the Xilinx License Manager looks for these names to find out the system's MAC addresses, which are used for node-locked licenses. If you require node-locked licenses, you might have to disable this feature to re-gain the kernel naming scheme for network interfaces. The systemd wiki describes how to do this.
Post-Installation Fixes and Tweaks
After installation, a few manual fixes are required to work around problems caused by running the Xilinx tools on a Linux distribution that is not officially supported by Xilinx. Some of these fixes are taken from this forum post.
Dynamic Library Fix (libstdc++.so)
The ISE tools supply an outdated version of the libstdc++.so library, which may cause segfaults when using the Xilinx Microprocessor Debugger and prevents the usage of the oxygen-gtk theme. This outdated version is located in two directories within the installation tree:
/opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/ and
/opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/common/lib/lin64. To use Arch's newer version of libstdc++, rename or delete the original files and replace them with symlinks:
# cd /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/ # mv libstdc++.so libstdc++.so-orig # mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6-orig # mv libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libstdc++.so.6.0.8-orig # ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so # ln -s libstdc++.so libstdc++.so.6 # ln -s libstdc++.so libstdc++.so.6.0.8
Then, repeat this process in the
/opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/common/lib/lin64 directory.
Digilent USB-JTAG Drivers
To use Digilent Adept USB-JTAG adapters (e.g. the onboard JTAG adapter on the ZedBoard) from within the Xilinx design tools, you need to install the Digilent Adept Runtime and Plugin.
To install the Digilent Adept Runtime, it is recommended to build and install adept-runtime-xilinxAUR and its dependencies libftd2xx-digilentAUR and usbdrvAUR from the Arch User Repository.
To install the Digilent plugin, you have to copy two files to the ISE plugin directory. Run the following commands as root:
$ mkdir -p /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/plugins/Digilent/libCseDigilent $ cd /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/ISE/bin/lin64/digilent/libCseDigilent_2.4.4-x86_64/lin64/14.1/libCseDigilent $ cp libCseDigilent.{so,xml} /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/plugins/Digilent/libCseDigilent $ chmod -x /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/ISE/lib/lin64/plugins/Digilent/libCseDigilent/libCseDigilent.xml
Finally, add every user that should have access to the Digilent USB-JTAG adapter to the "uucp" group.
You may have to add the USB Vendor/Product IDs of your JTAG adapter to the udev rules in
Locale Issues
PlanAhead doesn't like locales using other literals than '.' as the decimal point (e.g. German, which uses ','). Run the following command before launching PlanAhead:
$ unset LANG
Segmentation Fault on PlanAhead
When launching PlanAhead to generate a .ucf file, a segmentation fault may occur. The issue seems unrelated to the previous topic. The ISE console will show
"/opt/Xilinx/13.1/ISE_DS/PlanAhead/bin/rdiArgs.sh: line 64: 14275 Segmentation fault $RDI_PROG $*"
The problem seems to come from the bundled JRE as described here. To fix the issue, symlink the OpenJDK libjvm.so into the Xilinx's installation directory.
# cd /opt/Xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/PlanAhead/tps/lnx64/jre/lib/amd64/server # mv libjvm.so{,-orig} # ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so
GNU make
XSDK looks for the
gmake executable, which is not present in Arch Linux by default. Create a symlink somewhere in your path, e.g.
$ ln -s /usr/bin/make /home/<user>/bin/gmake

Running Xilinx tools from within KDE
KDE by default defines the QT_PLUGIN_PATH shell variable. Some of the Xilinx ISE tools (ISE, Impact, XPS) are Qt applications, which means that they will search for Qt plugins in the locations defined by this shell variable.
Because the Xilinx tools are compiled against and ship with an older version of the Qt framework which cannot use these plugins, they will crash when launched with this environment variable present.
To fix this issue, run the following command before launching the tools:
$ unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH

You might have to find your own queens, since GAN hasn't spread everywhere. This topic didn't need three separate threads, though.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Ranger, Quest, and TRUST Awards with cross-references for related Venturing Awards.
|Ranger Award
1. Award medal
2a. Ranger bar (pin)
2b. Ranger bar (cloth)
The Venturing Ranger Award builds directly on the Outdoor Bronze Award. High adventure and the outdoors have always been of interest to young Americans as well as an important part of the BSA program. Because of the attraction of high adventure, the Ranger Award is available to all Venturing youth members of the Boy Scouts of America.
The purpose of the award is to encourage Venturers to achieve a high level of outdoor skills proficiency; recognize achievement of this high level of outdoor skills proficiency; provide a path for outdoor/high-adventure skills training; and establish Rangers as a highly trained leadership resource for crews, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the community.
The Ranger Award exemplifies a challenging high-level outdoor/high-adventure skills advancement program. Once earned, it will identify a Ranger as a person who is highly skilled at a variety of outdoor sports and interests, trained in outdoor safety, and ready to lead or assist others in activities. Rangers can be a great program asset to Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and others.
The Award medal is pinned immediately above the seam of the left pocket, Ranger bar (pin) is centered on left pocket flap, the Ranger bar (cloth) may be alternately used to avoid pin backing.
After completion of the Ranger Award, this award may be awarded at a crew recognition ceremony (similar to a Boy Scout Court of Honor), organized by the youth Vice President - Administration.
Venturers may also earn:
- Sports Bronze Award
- Religious and Community Life Bronze Award
- Arts and Hobbies Bronze Award
- Outdoor Bronze Award
- Sea Scout Bronze Award
- Expert-level awards
In addition, four of the five bronze awards fulfill partial requirements for Venturers continuing on and earning expert-level awards:
- The Sports Bronze Award requirements are part of the Quest Award.
- The Religious and Community Life Bronze Award part of the TRUST Award.
- The Outdoor Bronze Award part of the Ranger Award.
- The Sea Scout Bronze Award is a duplicate of the Sea Scout Ordinary rank requirements, and is necessary on the trail to earning the Quartermaster Award.
The first Ranger Medal was issued between 1946 and 1949 as part of the BSA's Explorer Program. The Ranger Award was re-introduced by the BSA in 1998 as part of the new Venturing program.

Jessica Chastain: Best - or Worst – SAG Near Miss?
Man, these girls from The Help are on a SLOG. I was looking up something regarding The Help on the site last night, and I came across a poster in another language, and realized 'oh yeah', wide, WIDE release. Lots and lots of travel to promote the movie and many many outfits.
Do you kind of feel like Jessica Chastain maybe blew her wad too early?
I'm sorry. Crass, first of all, and offensive to the new queen of American cinema second. I like Chastain, I think she's articulate and interesting.
But after the Globes and now last night, I feel like something's gone awry in the wardrobe planning. Her Globes dress was too tight, and this blue, in certain pictures it looks confining and restricting, in others I think I'm ridiculous and there's no strain at all. Maybe it's just those really upsetting bra cups. But it's just not perfect, not like it could be. The colour, which I think is meant to be a vibrant sort of periwinkle, fades in certain photos and doesn't do much for her. It just seems like one of those dresses where she looked over the stylist pile, was like "yeah, I guess" and sighed, and wished she could repeat something awesome she blew on an event last fall. Maybe?
I assume she's saving the big guns for Oscar night, and I hope it's something unusual and dramatic and not too conformist, which is how I've felt about most of the gowns she's chosen thus far in 2012. I wish she had some room to have some more fun.
Unless this was the fun, in which case…uh oh.

Bickmore than she could chew: The Project host on Rotten rage
The Project host Carrie Bickmore wanted to scream at Johnny Rotten when he told her to "shut up" and not interrupt "when a man is talking".
The former Sex Pistols frontman, whose real name is John Lydon, reacted to Bickmore's attempt to cut in to ask a question by saying "you sound like one of them dreadful loud birds I don't like" and "you've gotta learn what manners and respect is".
Bickmore told radio station 92.9's breakfast show that his behaviour had shocked her.
"At the time, you would understand this, I wanted to scream at him, but I also thought that's what he wants," she told Lisa, Paul & Baz.
"So I just thought, 'You know what, I'm not going to give you the pleasure of starting something', so I just sat there quietly and gave him his time and let him hang himself."
Bickmore, who grew up in Perth and had her first reporting job at 92.9, told the radio hosts she knew he played up for the press, but had crossed a line.
"I was fine, I went to bed and woke up this morning and just thought 'What a dick'," she said.
"I know he's controversial, I know he's got this reputation of bad press. He kept telling us about it during the interview.
"There's a line between being a bit controversial and being downright rude."
Following the interview's termination by comedian Dave Hughes, panellist Dr Andrew Rochford called Lydon a "sexist, misogynist pig".
Bickmore agrees.
"I would say yes," she said.
"I wanted to scream at him, but I also thought that's what he wants."
"I know a lot of the guys on the desk knew of him and knew his thing, knew his shtick that he did, and that's why I went with it for a little while; because everyone had said to me 'He likes to be controversial'.
"I thought 'I'll let him go for a little bit, maybe this is funny to him', but then it just kept going and going and going and it kinda turned from being his shtick to just plain rude and arrogant and sexist."
The Project's audience members were heard gasping at Lydon's comments and viewers quickly took to The Project's Facebook page to express their disgust.
"John Lydon is a total tool on so many levels! He should never see airtime on Aussie TV ever again!" one Facebook user wrote.
Another added: "John Lydon is a moron. How dare he speak like that to Carrie - Good on the rest of the panel for sticking up for her and ending the interview."
Rochford also expressed regret for not stepping in to defend Bickmore, but she explained they had all been in shock.
"I think we were all in a bit of shock and that's why I still gave him a chance to let him say what he needed to say," she said.
"I saw how the guys were at the end; they wanted to punch his lights out.
"They were absolutely outraged but I think it was one of those things... when you have a guest on your show, you're always taught to respect people.
"I think it's that fine line between going 'Okay do we go to his level here, or do we go alright, you're doing your own stuff here and you're sinking yourself into a deeper, deeper hole, I think we're just going to leave you and go'.
"They thought: 'If we get into an argument with him, we're giving him exactly what he wants, which is the controversy'."
Lydon said during the interview "bad press is my own spawn" and Bickmore admitted she was still playing into his hands.
"We're still giving [the controversy] to him because we're talking about it now," she said.
While 92.9 host Basil Zempilas said Lydon's outburst seemed like a ploy to sell tickets on his Australian tour, Bickmore doubted its effectiveness.
"That didn't appeal to anybody," she said.
"Even to people that like controversy."

When Apple launched its first iPhone in 2007, to early adopters it was more than a gadget but the epitome of tech cool. Now the devices are so commonplace some marketers say it's only a matter of time before they start losing some of their appeal. "Not everyone wants to share their identity with the 35 million people who bought an iPhone last quarter," says behavioral psychologist Matt Wallaert.
SmartMoney asked readers on Facebook and Twitter whether the iPhone can retain its appeal now that so many people have one.

NC man convicted of punching ambassador of Gabon
WASHINGTON (AP) _ Federal prosecutors say a North Carolina man has been convicted of punching the ambassador of Gabon at a demonstration at that country's embassy in Washington.
Forty-five-year-old Leon Obame of Raleigh was convicted Thursday of assault on a foreign official. He faces a maximum of three years in prison; a sentencing date has not been set.
Prosecutors say the assault occurred on Dec. 9 at the embassy's temporary location on Connecticut Avenue N.W. Authorities say Obame punched the ambassador, knocking him to the ground.

National Council of La Raza passes freedom to marry resolution
June 25, 2012
Earlier this month, on June 9, the board of the National Council of La Raza unanimously approved a resolution supporting the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. NCLR is the largest Latino civil rights group in the country, and their endorsement is reflective of a Latino community that has consistently shown majority support for marriage for all couples.
The organization will formally present the resolution next month in Las Vegas, where it is hosting its annual conference. NCLR president Janet Murguía praised the board decision in an interview with The Washington Blade. She said:
NCLR has taken a strong stand on marriage equality and our Board of Directors wanted to affirm and support that decision, which I very much appreciate. That unanimous vote recognizes that marriage equality and LGBT issues are, and need to be, part of NCLR's core civil rights agenda.
The NCLR's endorsement comes a month after a similar show of formal support from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), one of the largest civil rights organizations in the country.
Latinos have consistently supported the freedom to marry - both nationwide and in key states. An April 2012 study from the Pew Hispanic Center found that 59 percent of Latinos in the United States say homosexuality should be accepted by society, and a March 2011 study suggested that 67 percent of Latino Catholics support legal recognition for same-sex couples. The Latino community understands the importance of strong families, and it widely realizes that marriage is the best way to protect all couples.
Support for the freedom to marry from the NCLR - and among the broader Latino community - is critical to our goal of winning marriage for same-sex couples nationwide. The community's commitment to family and respect for others is on full display when Latinos support the freedom to marry, and we should continue to encourage and celebrate these important steps forward.

It's not just tourists that like the beaches in Puerto Vallarta. Sea turtles love them, too.
Female turtles, specifically Olive ridley sea turtles, come in droves every year to the Puerto Vallarta beaches where they were born to lay their own eggs, but there's a good chance that they weren't actually born there, but in a turtle egg nursery operated by the CasaMagna Marriott Hotel. Several other Puerto Vallarta hotels operate nurseries, but the Marriott's is the biggest.
For the past decade, the Marriott has hired biologists to patrol the Mexican city's beaches at night during the egg-laying season to collect the eggs so they can be safely incubated in a controlled environment that is safe from predators and human interference.
When the eggs hatch, the turtle hatchlings are released into the surf. What's great is that anyone can go to the beach in front of the hotel to participate in the event which takes place almost every night during the season from July to December. Each person in attendance gets to release their own little turtle into the sea and cheer it on in its effort to swim against the waves and head out to deep water where it can avoid being eaten by birds and fish.
Last year alone, the hotel released 47,000 turtles. Over the life of the program, it has raised and released more than 290,000 of them. Sadly, only about 5% of them ever survive to adulthood.
One of the original motivations for the hotel to start the program was simply to remove the turtle nests from the beach so that its guests could frolic on them without harming them, but it turned out to be a great public-relations exercise and it's also educational for local residents.
Among some Puerto Vallartans, turtle eggs are eaten because of their alleged aphrodesiac properties. A black market exists for people who want the eggs, but the hotel hopes that the conservation message it delivers to the many local school kids that visit will help educate them and eventually help reduce the demand for the eggs.
During my visit, I watched an excited group of grade school students and equally eager tourists all line upon the beach near sunset to receive instructions on how to safely release their turtles.
The hotel's biologist carried a large, red bucket of turtles which were all hatchlings from the same nest and hand them one by one to each person, as if they were in a line to receive Holy Communion.
Everyone lined up parallel to the ocean and were instructed to walk a metre toward the water where there was another line in the sand. Everyone was to release their turtle and step back to the first line to avoid stepping on the scurrying creatures as the surf flung them back up the shore.
The school kids were squealing with excitement as the countdown began for the release. On the count of uno, dos, tres, everyone walked forward and let their turtle go. We all gave cheers of encouragement to them as they were battered by the overpowering waves which must have been tsunami-sized to the tiny turtles which were only a few centimetres long. Eventually, they all made it beyond the breaking waves and you could see tiny, black heads bobbing in the sea. Everyone wished them well on their long, perilous journey to adulthood.
Releasing sea turtles in Puerto Vallarta is a lesson in perseverance
It's not just tourists that like the beaches in Puerto Vallarta. Sea turtles love them, too.

Michio Kaku is a physicist specializing in string theory at the City College of New York; it would seem he's also a major Star Trek fan. The show, along with other science fiction classics, is a constant touchstone in "Physics of the Impossible," his latest book, which invites readers to take a romp through the barely possible.
Kaku even uses Star Trek's chief engineer, Scotty, to state the book's starting point: "I canna' change the laws of physics, Captain!"
Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel is a popularization of physics and it reads like nothing so much as a thought-provoking manual for science fiction writers who want to get it right. Kaku takes 15 sci-fi staples, from invisibility cloaks to robots to parallel universes, and divides them up into Class I, II, and III impossibilities. Class I impossibilities are impossible at present, but could be just around the corner. No laws of physics forbid them. Class II impossibilities might be realized if humanity lives long enough and becomes advanced enough to take on such minor public works projects as particle accelerators 10 light-years long or "laser beams as large as a solar system or star cluster."
Class III impossibilities are just plain impossible. Sorry.
But there are fewer truly impossible things than one might expect. Time travel is a mere Class II impossibility, for example. Kaku walks us through the history of and current thinking on each problem, making clear the technical hurdles and sketching out the possible solutions – all with a minimum of jargon and confusion. As long as one is somewhat familiar with, for example, what an electron is, the waters of incomprehensibility will only occasionally close overhead, and never for long. The latter chapters, dealing as they do with things at the very edge or on the other side of impossibility, are a bit heavier going.
Science fiction writers, even science-minded daydreamers, will find that instead of becoming disappointed with what is not possible they will more likely be inspired to new plot twists by the limitations of nature. Laser guns are perfectly possible ... if they are plugged in. (Until a portable power pack capable of delivering the oomph of a commercial power station is invented, space duels won't be able to stray far from the surge protector. )
Similarly, an invisibility shield is potentially possible, and Kaku explains how, but since it can't be seen through from the inside, eyeholes would be needed. Perhaps disembodied floating eyes would be less inconspicuous than a whole visible person. But then again, one could listen, or even mind-read. While we might someday be able to read the vague tenor of another's thoughts, Kaku says, the details may be forever inaccessible.
And though it may not spark any story ideas, there is a certain grim satisfaction to finding out that to make Harry Potter invisible without a special shield "one would have to liquefy him, boil him to create steam, crystallize him, heat him again, and then cool him." Take that, boy wizard.
Kaku covers a lot of ground, including a fair bit of biology for sections on telepathy and a subchapter on suspended animation, and he moves at a decent clip. This book is not for those seeking to deeply understand string theory or quantum mechanics. It delivers just enough science to back up and make sense of the upshot: Can we or can't we? If we can't, why not? And if we can, how? Because Kaku doesn't get weighed down by details, this is a good choice for someone interested in physics but timid about the nuts and bolts. It's like those cupcake tops they sell in bakeries – the yummy bits without the foundation.
"Physics of the Impossible" is an invigorating experience. Much that seems impossible, isn't. The book's reach in time and space is so immense, that there's even a slight danger of light-headedness – especially when Kaku writes of nano-spacecraft that would replicate themselves on distant planets and send more nano-spacecraft further out, creating "a sphere of trillions of these robots, multiplying exponentially as it grows in size, expanding at nearly the speed of light." Not for the faint of heart, images like that.
Kaku does sail from topic to topic a bit abruptly, and his prose has a few irritating quirks – all his sentences are roughly the same length and he's absolutely addicted to parentheses – but these are minor quibbles. It's a small price to pay for a real sense of the vastness of space, the infinite length of time, and the admirable cleverness of humanity.

Myck Kabongo had 16 points and six assists for Texas which used a late run to beat TCU 70-57 on Wednesday night to advance to the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament.
The seventh-seeded Longhorns (16-16) trailed 44-43 midway through the second half, but took the lead on a basket underneath by Prince Ibeh and slowly extended it. Moments later, the Horned Frogs (11-21) watched Texas rip off a 13-3 run that resulted in a 62-49 lead.
Texas coasted the rest of the way into a Thursday night matchup with No. 11 Kansas State.
Julien Lewis finished with 19 points and Sheldon McClellan had 12 for the Longhorns, which have won six of their last nine games since Kabongo - their star sophomore guard - returned to the lineup following a 23-game suspension handed down by the NCAA for receiving improper benefits.
Texas has won seven straight and 11 of its last 12 against the Horned Frogs.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (Dec. 2, 2008) -- The ETSU men's basketball team continues with the third of five straight games on the road Tuesday evening, when the Buccaneers face off with former Southern Conference rival and current Conference USA member Marshall at the Cam Henderson Center. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m.
The Bucs (3-3) are coming off a road loss to Missouri Valley Conference power Bradley 82-69 last weekend, while Marshall (2-3) snapped a three-game losing streak with a home win over Old Dominion over the holiday break.
This will mark the 46th meeting between the schools, with ETSU leading the all-time series 24-21.

Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2008-09 season having come up just one win shy of the 20-win mark in 2007-08 and looking to avenge a hard fought loss to Belmont in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament ... With a 19-13 overall mark and a third place finish in regular season league action (11-5) a year ago, the Bucs return their top two and three of their top six scorers from a year ago, led by first-team All Atlantic Sun selection Courtney Pigram (Memphis) ... The 6-1 guard will begin his senior campaign with 1,445 career points after having averaged a team-leading 15.8 points, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals a game last year .... Pigram will be joined by senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who helped power the offense with 14.6 points and a team-high 2.9 offensive rebounds a game last season en route to earning second team All A-Sun honors.
The series against Marshall
With a series history that dates back to a time when the Bucs and Thundering Herd were rivals in the Southern Conference, these two teams have met a total of 45 times, with ETSU holding an edge in the overall series 24-21 ... The two teams split meetings a year ago during a rare home-and-home series, as the Herd dropped the Bucs by one in overtime 84-83 on Nov. 20, and ETSU was the victor 79-73 on Dec. 4.
Last time against Marshall
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 4, 2007) - After giving up a large second half lead and then losing by one point in overtime earlier this season at Marshall, the ETSU men's basketball team was faced with what could have been a similar situation Tuesday night in Memorial Center. This time the Bucs didn't fold ... Watching a 13-point lead dwindle to five with just under a minute left, the Buccaneers made the defensive stops they needed in the final seconds and converted at the foul line to finish with a 79-73 win over Conference USA's Thundering Herd in front of 4,080 blue clad fans. With the win, ETSU improved to 4-3 on the young season, with Marshall dropping to 4-2 ... Indeed, the Bucs once again rolled on the offensive end of the floor, hitting 54 percent of their shots (27-of-50) and committing just 14 turnovers. While the Bucs still were out-rebounded 38-36 and gave up 16 offensive rebounds, ETSU did cut back on its foul issues, actually going to the line 38 times compared to just 18 trips for the Thundering Herd ... The key to victory for the Bucs on this night came with just over nine minutes left, when junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) recovered from just scoring two points in the first half to score nine straight points and power a 13-2 offensive surge. The run took a 49-47 game and made it 62-49 with 7:15 remaining in the game ... However, from there Marshall managed a run of its own in the final two minutes, outscoring the Bucs 9-2 to make it 73-68 with just over a minute left. However, sophomore guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville) did just enough at the foul line to keep the Herd at bay and give the Bucs a win over their former Southern Conference rival.
Last time out
PEORIA, Ill. (Nov. 29, 2008) - Having watched Bradley struggle from beyond the 3-point arc much of the season, the ETSU men's basketball team hoped for the same when it faced the Braves Saturday night. However, things didn't work out as planned ... Bradley - which entered the game making just 27 percent of its 3-pointers - hit a season high 13 shots from beyond the arc for a stout 54 percent from the outside - and a Buccaneer rally in the second half would come too little too late as the Missouri Valley Conference's Braves upended the Bucs 82-69 inside Carver Arena. With the loss, ETSU drops to 3-3, while Bradley improved to 4-2 ... Senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) led all scorers with 27 points, scoring 22 of those points in the second half and during a late rally that the cut lead to nine at 75-66 with 2:21 left in the game. Senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) finished with 15 points and was the only other ETSU player in double figures ... Bradley had four players reach double figures, led by a team-high 17 from Dodie Dunson, while Chris Roberts added 16, Theron Wilson scored 12, and Eddren McCain added 10. As a team Bradley had 20 assists, including a game-high eight from guard Sam Maniscalco ... The first half had a nightmarish start for the Bucs, as the Braves - whose previous season high for threes in a game was seven - hit their first five 3-point attempts and rolled out to a 17-2 lead at the 13:59 mark. Tiggs then single-handedly stopped the bleeding, scoring seven straight to make it 19-9 with 11:34 left, and the Bucs then pulled to within seven at 25-18 with 7:35 left before the half, thanks to five points from Pigram and a dunk by junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.). ... However, the Braves' high percentage shooting didn't stop and the Bucs couldn't maintain the momentum as Bradley outscored ETSU 19-7 the rest of the way to lead 44-25 at the break. ETSU suffered its worst offensive half of the season, scoring just 25 points on 33 percent shooting from the floor, while Bradley blitzed the nets to the tune of 62 percent from the field and an even more amazing 62 percent from beyond the arc ... In the second half, Bradley built their lead above 20 several times, but trailing 67-47 with 8:09 left, Pigram caught fire and scored 13 of the next 15 for the Bucs, powering a 19-8 run that made it 75-66 with 3:19 left on the clock. However, from there some untimely ETSU fouls and solid free throw shooting by Bradley sealed ETSU's fate ... The Bucs actually had one more made field goal than the Braves, but Bradley hit 13 threes to just six for ETSU. The teams were even 28-28 on the boards and the Bucs had just 12 turnovers to 20 for Bradley. However, the Bucs managed just 10 assists to 20 for the opposition.
Pigram makes history with triple-double
With his 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Wingate (11/20), senior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) became just the second ETSU player to record a triple-double and the first to reach that special feat in NCAA Division I play this season ... He joins former Buc Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) on that exclusive list at ETSU ... In Atlantic Sun Conference play, Pigram is just the sixth player to accomplish that feat since 1996-97, and he is the first to post a triple-double against a non-conference opponent ... A full list of those players can be found below:
A-Sun Triple Doubles
Since 1996-97
Player School Date Opp Pt-Rb-Ast
Courtney Pigram ETSU 11/20/08 Wingate 21-10-10
Tim Smith ETSU 1/25/06 KSU 21-10-10
Damitrius Coleman Mercer 2/27/05 JU 13-14-14

Dexter Lyons UCF 1/11/03 Troy 14-13-10
Bartow adds three early signees to 2009-10 class
ETSU men's basketball head coach Murry Bartow has announced that the Buccaneers have received three national letters of intent for their 2009-2010 recruiting class ... Three high school seniors have signed the dotted line with the Bucs, a trio that includes 6-foot-3 guard Sheldon Cooley of Tampa, Fla., 6-foot-8 forward Lukas Poderis of Port Richey, Fla., and 6-foot-1 guard Bruce Grimm of Rochester, Ind. ... Cooley, who averaged 22.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 7.0 blocks and 5.1 steals a game during his junior season at Plant High School, has been a four-year letter winner on the Panther squad. He was the Western Conference Player of the Year in 2007-08, a first team All-Suncoast and All-Tribune pick, and a third-team All-State Class 5A selection. Along with multiple other player of the year and all-star selections, Cooley will finish his senior season as his high school's all-time leading scorer ... While Poderis is originally from Lithuania, he currently plays at Ridgewood High School in Port Richey, Fla., the same school that produced former ETSU standout Andrew Reed. Poderis has helped his high school to three straight 20-wins seasons, and a year ago he averaged 18.3 points and 10.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 67 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range. A 1,000-point scorer, Poderis was the Sunshine Athletic Conference Player of the Year last season, and a third-team All-State pick ... Grimm has been a three-year starter at Rochester High School, was a first-team all-conference selection as a sophomore and junior, while also receiving his team's most valuable player award. He averaged 20 points a game, while dishing out five assists, three steals and three rebounds a contest as a junior ... The Bucs are scheduled to have one more scholarship open for the 2009-2010 season.
Hamlin, Brown step up in Coy's absence
After freshman Seth Coy (Montgomery, Ind.) earned a spot in the Bucs' starting five, there was a lot of hope for the 6-11 post ... However, after a foot injury sidelined Coy for the Tennessee Tech game, the Bucs turned to 6-7 senior forward Greg Hamlin (Flint, Mich.) and 6-8 freshman post Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) to step in and pick up the slack ... The two responded in a fine fashion ... Hamlin posted his career best game, scoring eight points, grabbing seven rebounds, dishing out three assists and blocking three shots ... Meanwhile, Brown posted eight points and five boards ... The coaches would take a combined 16 points and 12 rebounds from the duo each night.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 22, 2008) - Since the beginning of the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball - marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 - the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to a new "Prestige" ranking released by ESPN.com ... The Buccaneers, who have enjoyed six NCAA Tournament trips, one NIT berth, seven 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85, ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun Conference team, as well as former Southern Conference rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. The Bucs also were placed ahead of every current member of the Colonial Athletic Association with the exception of Old Dominion ... In addition, the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as other major programs such as Virginia Tech, Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson, California and Florida State.
Smith stepping up in junior year
In his first three games this season, 6-foot-6 junior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) has done his part and then some ... Currently, Smith is third on the team 13.5 points per game and is averaging a team-best 7.3 rebounds a game ... Smith is shooting 46 percent from the floor and has posted a team-best 2.5 steals per game ... Smith, who has scored 680 points in his career, was named a team captain and has fit that role well.
Non-conference home win streak at 18
Over the last five seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 18 straight non-conference home games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has wins over teams such as Marshall (twice), Tennessee Tech (twice), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State during that time frame.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 119-38 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the championship of the A-Sun Tourney... In 2007-08, the Bucs were 11-2 at Memorial Center.

Bulldogs Coming Off Strong Performance Against Princeton & Ohio State
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A strong showing last week against top-ranked Princeton and Ohio State helped Yale's women's crew move up to eighth in this week's CRCA/US Rowing national poll. The Bulldogs hope to build on that performance when they face Radcliffe on Saturday on the Charles River. The first race is slated for 7:36 a.m. The two varsity eights will be competing for the Case Cup.
Yale's varsity eight came within 2.9 seconds of upsetting unbeaten Princeton last Saturday. It was the Tigers' second-closest margin of victory on the season. The Bulldogs' second varsity, varsity four and third varsity eight all finished second as well against the tough competition.
Radcliffe is ranked 16th and the varsity eight is coming off its best result of the season. The Crimson defeated Ohio State, Dartmouth and Northeastern last Sunday on the Charles.
Yale has captured the Case Cup in each of the last seven years. The Bulldogs won all five races last year on the Housatonic River.

Americans are expected to spend more on candy, flowers and little trinkets this year as they celebrate Easter, according to a surveyby BIGinsight on behalf of the retail industry trade group, the National Retail Federation.
Spending on the holiday is expected to rise 11 percent from last year to about $16.8 billion. This means the average person celebrating will spend $145.28 on everything from candy to food to new Easter outfits.
That's no small sum, especially when you consider that most Americans are paying more for gasoline these days.
"Though the price of gas is on everyone's mind, Easter is one of the few holidays some consumers are willing to stretch their budgets, especially because many children look forward to treats and new outfits on Easter morning," said Matthew Shay, the federation's president and CEO.
To help the budget stretch further, we have rounded up some ideas for Easter gifts that cost less than $25. Click ahead and get some inspiration.

'Game of Thrones' Season 3 FX Reel Goes Inside the Magic
'Game of Thrones' season 4 seems to weigh heavier by the day, waiting until spring 2014 for a premiere that seems so removed from the recent Comic-Con 2013 appearance. Regardless, there can be no argument that HBO gave us its most visually impressive and jaw-dropping season to date this past year, so lets go back to celebrate 'Game of Thrones' season 3 with the full FX reel from SpinVFX!
Among the creature and location effects revealed in the above video, featured most prominently is the creation of the terrifying ice wall that Jon Snow and his Wildling cohorts scaled, which contained far less CGI than we'd thought. Says the company of achieving the massive feat:
Comprised of over 80 shots, Spin created a 700′ ft wall, a couple miles in length (real world scale) that would hold up from any distance and any angle. Spin then simulated the entire ice slide event, shooting it from all cameras set up in the sequence that created a sense of scale and continuity over the sequence, playing out the action in real time.
"The Ice Wall was one of the most compelling sequences for us. The 3D build provided the camera range required to deliver the drama and fear of the climb, and of course, the realism of the ice slide", says Doug Campbell, VFX Supervisor.
While we wait for 'Game of Thrones' season 4, HBO has cast in the important roles of the latest run Roger Ashton-Griffiths as Mace Tyrell, Pedro Pascal as Prince Oberyn "The Red Viper" Martell, Indira Varma as his lover Ellaria Sand, and 'Sherlock' star/writer Mark Gatiss in an unknown role.
Outside of those familiar with George R.R. Martin's books, relatively little is known of 'Game of Thrones' season 4, though we recently learned that previous season characters Lysa Arryn (Kate Dickie), Ser Alliser Thorne (Owen Teale), Rorge (Andy Beckwith) and Janos Slynt (Dominic Carter) would all return, among others. We recently saw the full list of writers and directors for the 2014 season emerge, revealing that season 2 "Blackwater" helmer Neil Marshall will return for the always-pivotal ninth episode.
You can check out the 'Game of Thrones' season 3 FX reel above, and tell us in the comments what visual feats you're most excited to see in season 4!

Exxon Mobil's (XOM) shares are attractively valued and have an appealing risk-reward. Exxon Mobil is the free cash flow-strongest company in the energy sector and managed to consistently raise its dividend throughout the last energy bear market. The energy profits from rising price realizations and, therefore, has significant upside in a rising oil environment. Exxon Mobil is a promising investment for DGI investors, in my opinion, and an investment in the energy company yields 4.1 percent. The yield on cost will most likely rise going forward.
Bullish Recovery Setup
Crude oil prices are in bullish recovery setup, for two main reasons: 1. The U.S. economy is in its best shape in more than a decade, which is supportive of oil demand and price growth, 2. New U.S. sanctions on Iran have had a positive effect on oil prices (note: full sanctions will AmoonyFashion Top Closed Kitten Pu Heels Women's Boots Round White Zipper Toe Low rzxr1qn in the first week of November).
Exxon Mobil is, in fact, a directional bet on higher oil prices. Higher crude realizations tend to translate into higher earnings and free cash flow for Exxon Mobil.
Madden by STEVEN Ankle Boot Women's Lieve Black Steve Oil prices are still in a bullish recovery setup.
Earnings And Free Cash Flow Upside In A Rising Oil Environment
Higher price realizations already made a big impact on Exxon Mobil's second quarter earnings. Higher energy prices compared to last year were the single biggest earnings driver for Exxon Mobil in the second quarter. The energy company's upstream earnings jumped $1.9 billion in the second quarter, largely thanks to higher market prices for crude oil.
See for yourself.
Source: Flash chrome Orange TD Cleats Alpha 3 Nike 4 Talon White Football Elite wgxnqPzf
The higher oil prices climb, the bigger the earnings impact for Exxon Mobil.
Exxon Mobil has significant free cash flow upside in a rising oil environment as well. Free cash flow is a key stat for companies that investors can use to determine how much money is available - theoretically - for distribution (dividends and share buybacks).
Source: Exxon Mobil
Excellent Dividend Play
The single biggest reason for me to consider Exxon Mobil relates to the company's strong free cash flow profile. Exxon Mobil has pulled in more free cash flow over time than all of its competitors in the field. As a result, Exxon Mobil really is the most profitable energy company in terms of free cash flow.
Source: ExxonMobil
Importantly, Exxon Mobil raised its dividend payout throughout the entire bear market which lasted from 2014 to 2016. While many other energy companies reduced their payouts (and some even went out of business), Exxon Mobil raised its dividend like clockwork, underpinning its investment proposition as a reliable income vehicle for DGI investors.
Here's Exxon Mobil's 10-year dividend growth chart.
Exxon Mobil's shares can currently be scooped up for ~14.7x next year's estimated profits, which is about in line with its U.S. peers Chevron Corp. (Platform Trace Safari Women's Marshmallow Puma vSwWqTAZx) and ConocoPhillips (COP).
Risk Factors Investors Need To Consider
The single biggest risk factor, as far as I am concerned, relates to a U.S. recession, and a corresponding decline in crude oil prices. I said earlier that Exxon Mobil is a directional bet on crude oil prices, but this obviously works both ways. As crude oil prices drop, Exxon Mobil is poised to take a hit to earnings and free cash flow.
New U.S. sanctions on Iran, which I think were the most significant event in the oil markets in the last several months, are a positive for oil prices over the short haul as Iranian oil production capacity gets taken off the market. Right now, the potential upside outweighs the potential downside.
Your Takeaway
Exxon Mobil is a compelling income vehicle for DGI investors, but shares also retain upside in a rising oil environment. Exxon Mobil is the free cash flow-strongest energy company in the sector, which provides investors with considerable downside protection. Most importantly, Exxon Mobil raised its dividend payout during the last brutal energy downturn that saw oil prices fall to their lowest levels in more than a decade. Thanks to a strong U.S. economic upswing, oil prices are still in a bullish recovery setup. Buy for income and capital appreciation.

First of all, I mentioned earlier that I'd be going away for a while at the end of July. Ten days or more, in fact, and the odds are I'll have little internet. I'm working on posts to go up in the meantime, but I'm wondering two things:
- Would anyone like to make guest posts on here at that time?
- Would anyone like to post articles I had written for me at that time?
Obviously, any who apply will need a blogger account so I can give them author access. If you'd like to help me out while I'm on vacation, send me an e-mail, grab me on Skype or AIM. The information is all on the right-hand-side underneath the tree in the pot. You can ask other people who've contacted me; I don't bite! (Insert "bark is worse than bite" pun here)
For those of you who want to understand the title, check Here, then Here and most importantly Here. We druids are well-known for presenting a united front.
In fact, I now encourage every druid blogger to make a post with "Foshizzle" either in the title or body of the text. We are many, we are powerful, let our voices be heard! And let them be heard to be saying "Foshizzle!"
