COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 21, 2013) – The U.S. women's beach volleyball team of Jenny Kropp and Whitney Pavlik won its second NORCECA Beach Circuit silver medal of 2013 on Sunday in Guatemala.
The USA-1 team of Kropp (Grand Island, Neb.) and Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.), the tournament's defending champions, fell to the Canada-1 team of Kacie MacTavish and Caleigh Whitaker in Sunday's gold medal match, 21-17, 21-16. It was the second silver medal of the season for Kropp and Pavlik, who also placed second at the NORCECA Beach Circuit event in the Cayman Islands.
The USA-2 women's beach team of Brittany Hochevar (Fowler, Colo.) and Emily Day (Torrance, Calif.) won the bronze medal in Guatemala while the USA-1 men's team of Mayer (Thousand Oaks, Calif.) and Stafford Slick (Andover, Minn.) placed fourth.
Kropp and Pavlik advanced to the finals by defeating Hochevar and Day in Sunday's semifinals, 19-21, 21-11, 15-10.
Hochevar and Day won the bronze medal by defeating the Guatemala-1 team of Maria Jose Orellana and Lourdes Ramirez, 21-13, 21-8. Hochevar won the silver medal with Summer Ross at the last NORCECA Beach Circuit event in the Dominican Republic.
U.S. women's beach volleyball teams have won one gold medal, three silvers and two bronze in the first three NORCECA events of 2013.
Mayer and Slick lost in the men's semifinals to Cuba's Karell Piña and Sergio Gonzalez, 21-18, 21-19. In the bronze medal match Mayer and Slick lost to the Puerto Rico-1 team of Roberto Rodriguez and Erik Haddock, 24-22, 16-21, 16-14

OTTAWA – Survey results suggest Canadians might have unrealistic expectations of when they'll be mortgage-free.
The Royal Bank of Canada poll, released Thursday, showed 72 per cent of respondents with a mortgage expect to have it fully paid off by the time they are 65. However, it also found that 33 per cent of those 55 or older still have at least 16 years left on their mortgages.
"Canadians want to be mortgage-free as they approach retirement age and beyond, but the reality is that it takes prudent planning and the right advice to stay on track," Claude DeMone, RBC's director of strategy for home equity financing, said in a statement.
The survey showed younger respondents were even more optimistic in their plans. For those between the ages of 35 and 54, 39 per cent thought they would be mortgage-free by the time they are 55, and another 39 per cent expected it my 65.
Among those between 18 and 34, 26 per cent thought they would be mortgage-free by the age of 45.

Hello Fellow Heathens,
Long time no see. I haven't post anything in ages, but I'm back.
So, guys this is going to be a somewhat long post bear with me please. I REALLY want your inputs. From a theist friend I have gotten several complains that when he goes to atheist forums and he's curious about any question he gets insulted and banned from the forum and called a troll. I tried to explained to him that the problem is that we do get lots of trolls and it's a problem to differentiate who has a legitimate question, specially in this medium. He still defended his position saying that it was not fair, he honestly has legit. questions, and I can't deny that he does. In my opinion, this behavior gives us bad reputation, and I believe we are better than that. One thing I can fully grant is that sometimes we get carried away and we insult people needlessly. There are more eloquent, elegant, and productive manners to tell a person something along the lines "please go do some research first," than just calling him/her ignorant and some other unnecessary slang. Now this is where the long part of the post starts, because I got the chance to do just what I stated in Facebook. This whole post started because an acquaintance of mine said, "(my name goes here) does not buy into the whole god thing and not because she knows little, but, because regardless of who was pulling her strings, she found science suited her better… remember even science requires faith as what is still unseen, remains just a calculated theory while the search continues..." So, in response I went in length to explain that there's not such thing a faith based science, and I deconstructed the way the words faith, believe, etc. are used, and the semantics of it. Ok so far so good, nothing related to God just yet. But, this guy jumped into the conversation and geez here we go again.
First: One can see that there are several holes in his argument.Second: My first answer to his post. Bear in mind that I have been talking about faith based science for some time and I'm exhausted and this point. It's quite late. But, again, no insulting.
Third: Next day. His response:
As you can see, I underlined two particular phrases out of his response. The first one: "faith-based," because in my view, and I'm sure in many of you, the moment a person says "faith-based" there's no longer a conversation. The second underline is about educating him. And, this is where I feel where the problem lies when it comes to differentiate 'trollers' and people with legitimate questions.
Lastly my answer,
So far I have not received an answer. I might get one. I might not. Going back to my first point, the legitimate questions, I think this guy really don't know and he is trying to defend his view with the information he has. I have no idea if he's a Christian, I just made an assumption. By the way, if by any chance the blog I spoke of goes through I hope I can get some fellows from TA to back me up. Furthermore, as an agnostic atheist I get frustrated too with repeating the same information over and over and over again. It's tedious, time consuming, and I understand and feel our overall mentality and view, which goes something like that, "the research, and information is already there, if you don't want to read and take the time to educate yourself why on earth I have to do it for you. I'm a person, just like you, and I have other things to do than just sit down in front of my PC for hours on end educating you regarding something that's already been debated over and over again." But, could you we do this in a more civil manner? I know we have had some somewhat similar discussions, but I look forward to your inputs. Feel free to constructively criticize my responses too. If you think I could have used some other arguments or words, please let us all know. I'm sure we can all benefit from brain-storming here together. Feel free to talk of your own experiences also.
Thanks Everyone,

They fear 'time' that is outside their common reconing, and since it does not 'look like us', it can't be like us. The theist vision is so tightly focused upon human time, that deep time is unreal. But honestly, deep time is all around us, and within us. Humans and the rest riding the web/wave of causation.
And, my personal favorite, slime mold.
My suggestion: Return to this guy all of his own comments, only wherever the word "God" appears, replace it with "Santa Claus." In other words, challenge him to come up with proof that there is no Santa. He either would be forced to admit that he can't prove Santa doesn't exist; or he will present his evidence - evidence that can apply with equal validity to the non-existence of any god.
You might even suggest that satelite images of the north pole area would be helpful, showing Santa Claus's house, boarding stable for raindeer, parking lot for elves, etc. LOL!
I've always wondered: If a Christian is supposed to have faith, why do they insist on debating the matter with people who don't take such matters on faith? The argument should be about faith, not the existence of God.
I've always wondered: If a Christian is supposed to have faith, why some churches sport lightning rods and all churches carry insurance policies.

Yes and no. Obviously we don't want Castle horses with blankets and feather ornamentation, but I also think the piebald coat is specifically a Native American thing and wouldn't look right in a medieval setting. Like I said, socks, facial markings, and speckled flanks are what I was thinking of.
That's what I meant. They had spots on them. If we had some of them, as well as facial strips, and socks as well, they'd be very cool.
Alos, I like the tan body and black mane and tail idea.

Electrically insulated bearings increase reliability for a large flue gas recirculation fan
The challenge
A major international producer of heavy duty carton-board was experiencing high maintenance and repair costs related to their large flue gas recirculation fan. These costs were the result of premature bearing failures caused by stray electric currents introduced into the bearings by the variable frequency converter.
The bearings in the boiler's hot gas fan motor lasted only six months on an average. A solution was needed to eliminate the damaging electric currents, improve reliability and reduce maintenance and repair costs.

The Extended Convective Forecast Product (ECFP) Planning Tool is a graphical representation of the forecast probability of thunderstorms. The product identifies graphically where in the US thunderstorms are likely over the next 72 hours. It is intended to enhance the TFM Collaborative Forecast (TCF). The TCF is only valid out to 8 hours. This graphical product will use TCF-style graphics, to facilitate ease of interpretation and use by those already familiar with the TCF. The product is not a TCF forecast (it is not forecasting the exact TCF criteria), but intended to support the long range planning for TCF type of constraints in the National Airspace System.
The ECFP planning tool has been developed in response to FAA and Industry needs in planning for weather hazards, specifically convection, one to two days in advance. To meet these planning needs, and to support TCF planning beyond 8 hours, the ECFP is intended to provide traffic planners and collaborators a quick-look forecast of the greatest probability of convection/thunderstorms. By utilizing TCF-style graphics, users familiar with TCF can easily determine where traffic constraints are most likely to be realized over the next 3 days.
The ECFP is intended for FAA Traffic Managers at Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC), FAA Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC), airline and aviation industry dispatch and flight planners, and private weather vendors supporting airline/FAA.
This automated graphical forecast is created from the Short Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF) Calibrated Thunderstorm guidance. Probability of Thunderstorm contours are depicted at 40, 60, and 80% probabilities, using TCF-like shading. Hashed areas represent 40-59% probability, solid lined areas represent 60-79% probability, and solid blue filled areas represent greater than 80% probability.
The ECFP will be available 24/7. It will be updated around 01:00, 07:00, 13:00, and 19:00 UTC each day.

Just in time for the Grammys (and conveniently the release of a new single), an oil painting of Lady Gaga mysteriously appeared Friday morning atop Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.
"Here is what I stumbled up on during my morning jog before work," said tipster Alexis Zimmer in an e-mail.
"I took pictures of what looks like an gigantic painting of Lady Gaga with a crown of thorns on her head with blood. The painting is laying flat all the way on top of the hill near by the benches..."
Local news from across Southern California
Around 2:45 p.m., aerial video showed authorities removing the artwork.
The oil painting, measuring 30 feet by 30 feet, was the work of artist Castro.
In an e-mail to NBC, Castro writes, "Hollywood, where stars are worshipped today, just to be crucified tomorrow. ...The idea behind the painting goes beyond Gaga and way beyond religion."
Castro says the Christ-like depiction of the pop star was installed atop Runyon Canyon around 6 a.m. Friday.
Gaga's publicist denied any involvement, saying their camp was unaware of the artwork.
There's a precedent for surprises atop Runyon Canyon. Right before last year's Academy Awards, skeletonized Oscar statues began appearing around the city. Those were eventually linked to U.K.-based artist D*Face.

Korindo crafts fabulous Maki-e items from Fukui Prefecture in Japan. These items are not printed, they are handmade, unique, with gold and sea shell (depending on the design) – 1,500 years of tradition and high techniques to bring you the best from Maki-e lacquer.
Maki-e is a japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder as a decoration using amakizutsu or a kebo brush. The technique was developed mainly in the Heian Period(794-1185) and blossomed in the Edo Period(1603-1868). Maki-e objects were initially designed as household items for court nobles, they soon gained more popularity and were adopted by royal families and military leaders as an indication of power.
Maki-e started to appear more often amongst the military elite when "the great unifier" Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a liking to it. On top of that Maki-e based products gained huge success as exported goods to Europe. As a result, even to this day the word "JAPAN", not only means country of Japan, but also Lacquer products. The peak of Maki-e was in the Edo Period. It was used to decorate most items for a more luxurious look such as bridal wear, furniture and jewel boxes. Thanks to the boom of Maki-e – artisans began creating new designs and styles we can see today, thus marking the climax of Maki-e.

Coming to terms with the implementation requirements of the The Bribery Act
Monday, July 11, 2011
A morality tale for our times !
The sudden demise of the News of the World is a modern morality tale. It possesses all the necessary ingredients for a great fable of today. News International is an organisation that had begun to believe in its own invincibility, that it was '...too big to fail...' and that if it should ever face a threat to its hegemony, it could always look to its friends (and camp followers) in politics, to keep it out of harm's way. It incited a once-proud journalistic tradition to become sullied with a 'get a story, any story, at any costs' mentality, and it encouraged some of its employees to cut any corner, break any rule of 'best practice', avoid any of the checks and balances, which most decent journalists recognise as being integral to their trade. It dirtied its hands by associating itself with the grubby, dirty rain-coat brigade, men who would stoop to any level to get the information their paymasters wanted. So they would hack the message-boxes of the mobile phones of bereaved parents, murder victims, or the families of the victims of terror, to get scoops and stories which might earn them a few more quid. As one journo recently stated, '...at Wapping you were only as good as your next story...'
Now, it seems that the entire public is up in arms at the degree of the scandals which are emerging from the outcome of this shameful tale. Police investigations are being promised, although many of the most shameful elements, certainly to those of us who were proper police officers in the past, will involve investigating the police themselves, for their part in accepting corrupt payments. We are advised that the watchdog put in place to oversee the activities of the Press will be given more powers, and that a number of people will be sent to gaol, for the part they have played in these scandals.
This story still has a long way to run and we should not be unduly surprised by other revelations that may emerge.
The underlying influence that has marked out this whole sorry saga, is the degree to which, the News of the World had jettisoned any semblance of integrity it might have once claimed to hold. Integrity is the mortar by which we cement together the ethical bricks in the moral walls with which we surround and protect our basic values and norms. Integrity or its absence, is what underpins all our actions and decisions, and determines how we will behave in any given set of circumstances.
In these modern times, where in the world of commerce and business, it seems that anything goes, and should be allowed to happen, as long as the end result is acquisition of a new story, at whatever cost in terms of the erosion of public taste, or the creation of yet more money, even in the most dubious of circumstances, integrity has become a much maligned concept.
It is instructive to observe how, as the standards of journalistic integrity have been undermined by a culture of 'anything goes', the same diminution of banking integrity has become more apparent. Where once, basic rules of conduct ruled the way in which journalists pursued their trade, the same went for bankers.
When every community of any size had at least one if not two financial services providers, each branch manager was required to take responsibility for the money he loaned, and to ensure its return, with interest, in due course. Once the real distinction between retail and wholesale banking disappeared after the 'Big Bang', and banks became the purveyors of financial products of largely dubious value, ignoring their fiduciary duties owed to their customers, then money merely became another commodity to be disposed of at will, regardless of the ability of the recipient to re-pay, because it no longer mattered. Banks had found marvellous new ways of packaging debt so that it could be sold on as investment-grade paper.
When you then paid bonuses of obscene proportions to young salespeople as an incentive for them to deliver even more loan activity, coupled with flaky insurance policy sales, and you had a recipe for disaster. Anyone with half an ounce of common sense could see the likely outcome, everyone that is apart from Gordon Brown and his cronies, who instead of reining in the banks, believed their snake-oil stories and allowed them a 'light-touch' regulatory regime.
During this time, anything remotely resembling integrity was jettisoned, as more and more greedy bastards piled in to the bonus culture offered by the banking sector, and more and more fraud and financial wrong-doing was practised, market prices were manipulated, insider dealing flourished, while the bankers paid themselves bigger and bigger bonuses for operating a failing market.
We are now all paying the price and it will be a millstone round our necks for years to come.
This is what happens when integrity, best practice, sound principles and downright fraud are allowed to become the leitmotif of the market concerned.
Whether in Wapping or Lombard Street, once you jettison the basic principles of integrity and best practice, you open yourselves up to levels of wrong-doing you would once have thought impossible. Wherever you look in our business culture, the '...get the money at all costs...' mentality prevails, and the damage it does to our reputation is immeasurable.
Whether this lesson will get through to the upper floors of the banks is a question no-one can answer!

Form length does not directly correlate to complexity. Many assume that making forms shorter makes them easier to complete. Though shorter forms might be cheaper to produce initially, if the reduction in content results in user confusion, the cost of resolving completion errors form fillers make as a consequence can significantly outweigh any initial savings. In general forms do need to be as short as possible, but never at the expense of clarity and usability.
Use colour strategically. Colour in forms should be used with care - but used well it can really aid form completion and navigation. In general, yellow, for example, is a colour to avoid as much as possible - text set in yellow on a typical light background can be very hard to read - and people can find yellow aggressive.

"He turned up at the right time, just when the team was at its lowest ebb. Things broke down after the World Cup and he had to make some difficult decisions and get rid of some of the old guard." When it comes to detailing the progress made by Vahid Halilhodzic since taking charge of Algeria, Kaled Lemmouchia is certainly fulsome in his praise.
The midfielder was part of the qualifying campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ but did not play at the tournament itself. Nevertheless he has gone on to become one of the pillars of this new-look Algerian team that the Bosnian strategist has put together.
The former Paris Saint-Germain coach took charge in the summer of 2011, ahead of the last two qualifiers of an ultimately doomed CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2012 campaign. Since then, however, he has managed to put together a squad in his own image, which has involved parting ways with certain players who had previously been considered undroppable.
Yazid Mansouri, Rafik Saifi, Hassan Yebda, Karim Ziani, Antar Yahia and Nadir Belhadj were all victims of the new strategy and fell off the radar, while Lemmouchia – 31-years old and with no European experience – came to symbolise the wind of change brought in by the man universally known as "Coach Vahid."
"We've been working really well for the past 14 months. We've got a good, honest, young group, we've made progress and we really, really want to succeed," Lemmouchia, who plies his trade in Tunisia for Club Africain, told FIFA.com. "The coach gets his message across perfectly and everyone has bought into his methods which are making us better players.
He doesn't say much but when he does, he gets straight to the point, and I like that.
"Everyone can see that, and it's also in everyone's interest as individuals. I experienced what it was like in the pre-Halilhodzic era and I can tell you that we've certainly made great strides in terms of pre-match preparation and training. He's a strict, demanding coach and to be perfectly honest, that suits the entire group down to the ground. He's changed people's mindsets: both the players and the administrators know that, at the top level of football, you only get out what you put in."
Lemmouchia was born in a suburb of Lyon and trained with Olympique Lyonnais, but was unable to earn a professional contract in his native France. He played with amateur side AS Lyon-Duchere for four years before moving to ES Setif, winning two Algerian league titles and winning his first caps for that country. He spent another season in Algeria's top flight with USM Alger before a transfer took him to Club Africain last August.
"I never played at the highest level in Europe but I don't have any regrets – I've lived my dream," says Lemmouchia when explaining how his career only blossomed as he neared the age of 30. "I love the Tunisian league. I've learnt, gained experience and with my status and all the years I've been around, I have earned a spot as an automatic choice for my country. I got wisdom to pass on to youngsters, and I think I'm well placed to do that."
The message certainly seems to be getting across, with Les Fennecs having achieved their primary aim of qualifying for the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2013. They have since been drawn in the a fearsome-looking group, however, alongside Côte d'Ivoire, Tunisia and Togo, meaning that they will have little margin for error once they get their campaign under way down in South Africa.
For Lemmouchia however, the continental showpiece should serve as a means to an end, not an end in itself. "It'll be a real psychological test because, other than Mali, we haven't really played any of the big African teams recently," he said.
"This [group] will show what we're worth and it's come just at the right time ahead of the qualifiers for the World Cup, which it what we are all dreaming about and aiming for. The CAN is here to underline all the hard work we've put in for the past 14 months and build up our confidence levels, and it'll help the youngsters get more experience."
Lemmouchia also realises that they may well taste defeat, but he rejects the idea of "starting from scratch all over again if we fail" and is convinced that Halilhodzic has got them on the right path.
"He doesn't say much but when he does, he gets straight to the point, and I like that. When he criticises he keeps it clear and he always looks to stir up the players' pride," said Lemmouchia, before signing off with a bullish verdict on his side's long-term prospects.

I have been cooking as much summer food as possible, knowing the end is not far off.
My garden finally is offering us some tomatoes, eggplant, green beans and more. My kids will eat most things freshly picked. Well, not the eggplant, but most everything else.
Along with our garden goods, I have been buying corn almost daily. Usually, I just serve it on the cob. Occasionally, I will saute it with some butter. On leisurely mornings, I will make corn cakes. But recently, I lured Clay in as a kitchen assistant and made corn and zucchini fritters.
Clay, 7, grated a garden zucchini while I cut the corn off the cob. Of course, he was a little angry that I did not let him use the knife to cut. He would do anything for a turn with the knife.
We salted the zucchini to get out some of the moisture. Clay thought squeezing it with a towel was pretty cool. He measured and mixed the whole recipe and did a truly amazing job.
I took over for the cooking part because the fritters will pop and splatter oil that is really hot and, unfortunately, pretty messy.
I sprinkled some fresh basil and a pinch of flaked salt on top of the fritters, and even Molly, 9, liked them.
They were not Emmas favorite. It could have just been some pre-teen disagreeability. But my Mom and I indulged in more than enough of these delicious, savory cakes.

This was a huge hit at my Thanksgiving gathering. Everyone really liked cake plain, but the frosting was so good! Frosting takes the cake to the next level. I will be making this again for sure. There wasn't any leftover.
Nov 23, 2014
I make this EVERY Thanksgiving and Christmas--we absolutely LOVE it. It there are any leftovers, I cute slices into sticks, dry in the oven and serve a biscotti...GREAT!!

I was a bit hesitant to try a pound cake with sweet potatoes in it, but it was delicious! Very moist. The cake was still too warm when I put the frosting on so it pretty much slid off down the sides. I was serving it at a church fellowship meal, so I wanted to frost it instead of putting a dollop on the slices. Next time I'll wait until it's all cooled down to put the frosting on because the frosting is delicious.
Nov 18, 2012
I had some mashed sweet potatos in the freezer that needed to be used and I chose this recipe. It was very moist indeed and not overly sweet. I used freshly grated nutmeg so the nutmeg flavor was pronounced and delicious. I elected not to use a frosting as it really doesn't need it.

A more than month-long shortage of ammunition is showing no sign of easing across the country.
"I'm over here today trying to buy .22's just because there's a shortage," said frequent target shooter Rhonda Calbreath of Davis, as she hoped to find a couple of boxes at the Just Guns store in Sacramento.
"We just came from a store down the road and they have no .22's and no .9's," said Calbreath, referring to .22-caliber and 9mm ammunition, two of those in shortest supply.
"And the prices are outrageous," she added.

SYDNEY, Australia – Asian markets rallied strongly on Thursday, joining global counterparts in welcoming the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections.
Stocks have risen around the world since it was learned the Democrats had re-claimed the House of Representatives after eight years, while the Republicans retained and extended its control of the Senate. Both the Democrats and President Trump were claiming victory on Wednesday, which saw Wall Street, and European markets cheer the result.
On Thursday investors were back in business, with the uncertainty of recent weeks out of the way.
In Australia, the All Ordinaries bounced above the crucial 6,000 barrier, adding 30.90 points or 0.52% to close at 6,012.90.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 jumped 401.2 points or 1.82% to close Thursday at 22,486.92.
In China, the Shanghai Composite was down a touch, losing 5.71 points or 0.22% to 2,635.63.
In Hong Kong, in late afternoon trading Thursday the Hang Seng was 126.85 points or 0.49% stronger at 26,274.54.
The U.S. dollar clawed back some lost ground in the Asian trading session on Thursday, however the Australian and New Zealand dollars continued to pound the U.S. unit.
In early European trading on Thursday the euro had contracted to 1.1430.
The British pound remained well bid at 1.3126.
The Japanese yen was a touch weaker at 113.61.
The Swiss franc eased back to 1.0061 while the Canadian dollar was little changed at 1.3111.
The Australian rose to 0.7291, while its counterpart in New Zealand strengthen to 0.6794.
Wall Street overnight gave its nod of approval to the outcome of the midterm elections by sending stocks sharply higher.
Technology stocks led the way with strong performances in the health sector as well.
Congress will be divided for the remaining two years of the Trump term with the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives, and Mr Trump's party, the Republicans, retaining control of the Senate.
"I don't think any of Trump's agenda that he's already accomplished gets unwound. That was the main point of concern for investors," Robert Phipps, a director at Per Stirling Capital Management in Austin, Texas was quoted by the Reuters Thomson news agency as saying. "We've got a relief rally because the market got exactly what it expected."
At the close of trading Wednesday, the Dow Jones industrials were up 545.29 points or 2.13% at 26,180.30.
The Standard and Poor's 500 jumped 58.44 points or 2.12% to 2,813.89.
The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite did best of all, rising 194.79 points or 2.64% to 7,570.75.
The Federal Reserve assembled for its two-day monetary policy meeting, which commenced on Wednesday, but there is no rate hike expected before next month.

My neighbourhood is changing.
What used to be heavily treed streets of modest older homes — many of them small, one-storey cottages — are increasingly broken up by big two- and three-storey Craftsman-style houses.
The owners are upscale, often young couples with children, whose appetite for two-car garages, five bedrooms and four bathrooms dictates that they maximize the allowable footprint of their homes on their lots. Gardens disappear. Trees come down. The neighbourhood's forest canopy of big mature cedars and pines is eaten away. The new homes are handsome, tasteful and utterly out of character with what came before. But then, at one time, so was my house.
I mourn the change I see, but I have been doing this job long enough to know that there is only so much one can do to stop it, and that we are all part of the process of that change.
Cities grow, fill in and densify, and the difference between good city government and irresponsible city government is how that change is accommodated. Some of our municipal governments in Metro Vancouver do a good job of it: Some, the bad ones, are overly deferential to developers, and have, in essence, abdicated the responsibility of shaping their communities to private interests. You can tell those communities on sight. They're a dog's breakfast.
At the moment, the most publicized example of neighbourhood change is, of course, the Downtown Eastside. (But then, when is the Downtown Eastside not the most publicized of anything?)
We all know the chorus by now: Gentrifying yuppies are forcing out poorer residents. Developers are running roughshod over the wishes of the neighbourhood.
Enter city hall. The issue of gentrification, and the theatrics of the poverty activists who are fighting what they see as gentrification, comes at a delicate time for the city. At present, it is in the midst of developing a new official community plan for the neighbourhood. At the same time, it is developing OCPs for Marpole, the West End, and Grandview-Woodlands — more community plans than it has ever done before. So the planning department has its hands full.
"The draft policy is coming forward in June," said Brian Jackson, general manager of planning and development for the city, "and we'll be taking it to council in December, with lots of public consultation in between."
If there was any doubt — and there shouldn't be, given the massive social welfare structure in the Downtown Eastside — it is not the goal of Jackson's staff to formulate policies that will utterly change the character of the neighbourhood.
"They don't want gentrification," Jackson said of the poverty activists who have made representations to him, "they want revitalization, and that certainly is the goal of the OCP. Gentrification is when it all switches over to high- or middle-income residences, and that definitely is not the goal of the city.
"The housing goal of the city in the Downtown Eastside is to make sure that it's home for a significant number of low-income people. But we can't do it on our own. We need input from other levels of government, but we also need private development."
The City of Vancouver has one of the most enlightened social housing policies in the country, but it's been hamstrung by the fact that the federal government, which once funded social housing, has largely downloaded the costs of that housing onto the city and the provincial government. (Jackson asked that special mention be made of the province's efforts in that regard, which he lauded.) Vancouver has also had to shoulder the greater burden of social housing in Metro Vancouver by itself, since the response of outlying suburbs to the need for social housing has been modest to pitiful.
So partnering with private developers is, out of need, the future. That means negotiation. If a developer wants to build in the Downtown Eastside, the city has at its disposal incentives to assure that those new developments include social housing or amenities for poorer residents. It can grant a developer greater densities or a tax break, for instance, but only if the developer incorporates an agreed-upon percentage of social housing in the design.
Establishing that percentage will be one of the planners' tasks for the new OCP. It will have to be such that it ensures a replenishing stock of low-income housing, but not so punishing to the private sector that it discourages any new development.
"The question is," Jackson said, "where is the line? We don't want to make the delivery of social housing too onerous for private developers."
At any rate, he said, no one will be forced out of the neighbourhood.
"We do not see any dislocation of the existing population.
"Change is frightening for everyone," he said, "regardless of income.
"But I see the change here is going to be for the better. We're going to be replacing the single-room-occupancy hotels, we're going to be building more supportive housing ... and we're not proposing any big projects like the St. James apartment blocks in Toronto to accommodate lower-income residents. There's going to be a whole plethora of little projects to make that change, projects that will be in character with the neighbourhood."

HOUSTON – The Houston Dynamo know they will have their hands full as the New York Red Bulls come to town with their newest designated player, Thierry Henry, seeking to make his MLS debut.
Henry put together two solid performances for New York in a pair of exhibitions last week, when he partnered with Macoumba Kandji. However, the likely pairing against Houston will include Henry and Juan Pablo Angel.
"It's going to be fun but it's certainly going to be nerve-wracking," said Houston defender Eddie Robinson. "Those guys are not out of their prime by any means. You can put that pair in the EPL now and the two center backs would know they have a game on their hands."
While Henry will steal the headlines, the Dynamo know that Angel, Kandji and the rest of Red Bull attack was dangerous before they acquired the French forward.
"They were doing well before Henry," explained Dynamo 'keeper Tally Hall. "It is not just [Henry] and we know we have to bring our best to get a win and to go on a run. It's time now."
Houston will attempt to contain Henry without their best defender and their starting goalkeeper. Pat Onstad missed practice on Thursday and it looks likely Hall will continue to start in goal. The young 'keeper made several good stops against Columbus, but still hopes to atone for the mistake he made that led to the first goal for the Crew.
"It's another great opportunity for me," said Hall. "I have to come in and prove that last week's mistake was not me and that the team deserves better and that is what I intend on showing."
His teammates have faith in their young 'keeper.
"Anyone makes mistakes, but we certainly feel confident with Tally back there," Robinson said. "For the last two years, the only reason Tally hasn't been in the goal is because we have had the most consistent goalkeeper in the league in the last eight years. Tally is a great goalkeeper and we are happy he is on our team and that we are not playing against him."
Houston will also be without defender Bobby Boswell who will is suspended for the match against New York. As a result, it's likely Robinson will be paired with either Ryan Cochrane or Adrian Serioux.
"It is the way it's been going all year with guys in and out with injuries and suspensions," head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "It happens. But we have guys like Ryan, Adrian and Eddie who are all more than capable of playing."
"Missing [Boswell] is going to hurt," left back Mike Chabala said. "Guys are going to have to step up and stay organized and to make sure defensively we keep the zero and give ourselves the best chance to win."

Clive and kicking
Clive Tyldesley has been commentating on football matches for over 20 years. He's had two stints at ITV with a four year spell at the BBC sandwiched in between.
Clive was good enough to give up some of his time to talk to EFW about his career, a new website to help budding commentators follow in his footsteps, Roy Keane, Brian Moore, Sir Alex, and of course Manchester United:
Do you have the best job in the world? It's the job I always wanted to do. According to my parents, I had my heart set on it from quite a young age. I was never ever going to be good enough to play the game to any level, so I guess that commentating is the next best thing. The perks of the job go way beyond getting the best seat at some of the very best games. You are given a pass to 'inside track', and meet players and managers on a personal level. Quite apart from the buzz of getting close to the central characters on the big nights, you get a unique insight into what makes them tick and how they approach their profession. It's that privileged information that you hope to convey during a commentary in order to try to provide the viewer with a better appreciation and understanding in addition to conveying the natural excitement and drama of live football.
You've set up a website to help budding broadcasters of the future. How is that progressing? Footballcommentator.org is in a very raw initial state. It now needs input and traffic from those interested in how football is presented by broadcasters in order to make it work. Many moons ago, I wrote letters to commentators seeking advice and encouragement. The idea is to replicate that kind of contact through a 21st century online vehicle. For those hoping to make a career in sports reporting there are all kinds of issues about choosing the right degree courses and seeking work experience. The hope is that footballcommentator.org will address some of these and provide a forum for those interested in the business.
Guardian journalist Sid Lowe recently admitted to using Panini football stickers as a way of remembering players faces at the World Cup. What's your preferred method? I did go down the stickers route a couple of World Cups ago, but I think that you can find most of what you need on a lap-top screen these days. We try to get our hands on DVD's of any preparatory internationals before a major tournament, but the players warm-up time in the hour before kick-off is the most valuable time for identifying players. Skin colour, hair colour and boot colour are probably the first three points of reference. Wrist-bands, ankle bands and head bands are all useful too. I guess we subliminally monitor players' shirt numbers because if somebody changes from their regular number it jars on your brain, but the bigger the tournament, the bigger the stadia, and numbers are not always as clear as they might be. The secret is to wait if you're not sure. It's better to identify a goalscorer late than wrongly.
How much research do you put in prior to commentating on a game? How much? Enough! People often ask me if I get nervous before games, and my answer is usually 'not, if I'm prepared'. You cannot DO too much preparation. You can USE too much of it. Sometimes, I think certain commntators are saying 'I've bloody well done this reasearch, so you're bloody well going to hear it!'. Relevance is everything. For a big final, you may do an hour's work and more on penalty stats that will only get used if the game is drawn. That's just part of the job. Don't force information on the viewer - use it where and when it illustrates a point or creates a debate.
Do you prepare many lines beforehand, or is it all spontaneous commentary during the matches? I will write scripts for pre-match stuff - team captions and presentations before anthems etc. You've got a certain amount of control over all that. Once the first whistle blows, you have got no control whatsoever. How can you script or anticpate the course of a match? A lot of the 'thinking(?!)' I do en route to a game surrounds what the particular questions and issues the outcome of the match will answer, so you are preparing scenarios and trying to cover the bases. But that's all you can do.
When was the last time you paid to see a match? I take my 15 year old son to Reading maybe half-a-dozen times a season, but he is as interested in Premiership rugby (his sport at school). I feel a bit strange going to watch a game without a professional purpose. I'll happily go to watch a 'non-league' team ahead of a live FA Cup tie or something, but if I'm at a game it's usually for a reason rather than pure pleasure.
How much football do you watch each week? I watch an awful lot of television football. I record hours and hours and work my way through it at times when it does not impinge on my family and social lives. Part of my job is to be 'better' informed than the average viewer so it's important that I'm abreast of most of the football that is out there.
Are you one for collecting football memorabilia, and if so, what is your most treasured item? I will keep programmes and entry passes from major games and tournaments that mean something special to me and my career, but no more than that.
You spent four years at the BBC during the 90's. Was that an ultimately frustrating time given that you couldn't shift Motty and Barry Davies for the big gigs? Not really because they were both way ahead of me in terms of experience, know-how and probably talent. I had always, always wanted to work for the Beeb so those four years represented a dream come true. They were among the most enjoyable and instructive years of my career, and I look back on them with great fondness. I suppose the day the Commentators' Rota for Euro'96 was published, and I had one live game, on a Friday afternoon between Turkey and Croatia... I kind of knew that I needed to move on if I was to get on, and that is when ITV came calling.
ITV was your home before then, and has been since, are you happy with their football coverage as a whole? I'm very proud of most of what we do. I think we have suffered as a result of one or two headline mistakes beyond our control, but in editorial and production terms I firmly believe we are at very least the equal of any other broadcaster. But it's for the public to judge us, not me.
What gets you more excitable these days - is it big Champions League nights, or is the World Cup still the holy of holies? Both, thankfully! The day I turn up for any game without feeling a buzz of excitement, I'll know it's time to pack in. Champions League is the choice of many professionals now as the best standard of football, but nothing mobilises public support or draws viewers like top-class international football. The last World Cup was a better experience than it was a football tournament, but the scale of it remains far greater than anything else in the game. The world watches a World Cup.
You've been "reduced to stutters" by stares from Roy Keane. Has anyone else come close in terms of being an intimidating interviewee? Nobody quite as unpredictable. An angry Fergie is a challenge - particularly if you've been instructed to ask him a question you know he won't like. His head tilts to one side halfway through your question and his eyes widen. You end up asking the longest question in broadcasting history, and he offers the shortest answer.
Far be it for me to want to dip in to your after dinner speaking routine, but do you have a favourite Brian Moore story? When the late great BM retired in 1998, ITV threw a dinner for him and sat his young(ish) successor down next to him. A couple of bottles of red wine later, he leant over quietly and said to me, 'there are only two things you need to remember.' Frantically I tried to clear my head of grapes and concentrate on the commentating gems he was about to bestow on me. 'Be on time and be warm enough,' he said sagely. My interpretation of that was 'if you're there, and you can speak without your teeth chattering, it's up to you'. He never complicated the straightforward.
Were ITV right to sack Big Ron as a co-commentator after his racist outburst against Marcel Desailly. Not my decision, and I would hate to have been the man that had to take it. I know Ron and he is not actively racist.
You were commentating the night of the Heysel disaster. Are you still haunted by the events of that day? Haunted would be an overstatement, but I went to Brussels to commentate on a football match and ended up counting the first dead bodies I'd ever seen in my life. It's not something you forget.
You've covered a number of other sports in your career. What is your favourite sport other than football? I'm a big golf fan. I'm fascinated by the contrasts between team and individual sports. Playing golf with my 15 year old son is the biggest single pleasure in my life.
Be prepared to roll your eyes - do you actually support Manchester United? I was a home and away United fan in the seventies, I think i missed four games in the Second Division season. They were my dad's team, I'm from Bury, and he took me to watch them. But when I started to work in local radio and got to know the Forest players I was reporting on as friends my perspective changed. I'm lucky to have a lot of genuine friends and associates in and around the game, so my primary allegiances are to them and ITV's best interests in any game. England are the only team I feel passionately involved with now.
Was 'that night in Barcelona' as good as football gets? It wasn't much of a final until the last ten minutes, but it was a big night for my career. It was the first season after Brian Moore's retirement, and I got to commentate on all the big games in the Champions League and FA Cup campaigns in United's treble. Barcelona produced a memorable finale to that first year, and I got the scorers right, and said a couple of things that United fans still remember. But the extent to which I refer to that game is ridiculously overstated. It's all a bit of a cliche now, and a long, long time ago.
You must have been chuffed coming out with the words "....and Solskjaer has won it" at that pinnacle moment? It's woven into the minds of all United fans watching that night on television I'm sure. The best thing I did on the night was to shut up for a few seconds after each United goal. It allowed the moments to speak for themselves and gave me a bit of thinking time. But Solskjaer's goal is what is woven in the memories, not my soundtrack to it.
Is it easy to remain impartial as a commentator? Unless England are playing, and then I don't even try. Objective? Yes. Impartial? How?
The line "How must Lothar Mattaus be feeling?.....well with the greatest of respect, who cares?" didn't go down too well with my German friends over hear that night. Heat of the moment stuff? People remember these lines better than I do. I don't remember saying it. My biggest soundbite recollection was Fergie's 'football... bloody hell.' Said it all.
You have a popualr Twitter account. Is that something you enjoy or is it a bit of a time waster? I honestly don't have time to waste. I value time like little else. Twitter is a modern means of communication, and that's my business. I prefer Facebook because it's more personal and friendly.
Do you have any broadcasting ambitions left? I'd love to interview either or both of my children about something they achieve in the future.

Travel agency cruise concerns
Travel agents preparing for backlash after Carnival Triumph incident
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Travel agents and investors have been preparing for possible backlash after the Carnival Triumph was stranded for days, catching worldwide attention.
Some fear it could rival the shake-up felt after the Costa Concordia ran aground and capsized in Italy.
There have not yet been any cruse cancellations, but many think that is a possibility in the near future.
Cruisemax is a travel agency in San Marco. Peach Brinkley owns the shop and said she prepares for the worst after things like this, but has not dealt with any skeptical customers yet.
"There's no better value then to have over 20 million people cruising every single year," Brinkley said. "That shows what a good value it is. Every once in a while something like this will happen and they have done an excellent job taking care of them."
Brinkley has owned this boutique travel agency in San Marco for more than 20 years.
Only a few days have passed since the Carnival Triumph disaster, but she's measuring it's effect to her business by comparing it to the Costa Concordia tragedy.
"When the Costa went down and everything, that didn't hurt me," Brinley said. "Some people said it did to them, but I have a loyal following and I have not had a problem with it."
Brinkley said her company hasn't fielded any cancellations over the past week. There's been speculation about the effect this disaster at sea will have on cruise vacation prices, but with daily rates already under $100 per person to the Caribbean, they may not go much lower.
"If anything, it brings attention to the cruise industry and they'll call and I'll explain to them it doesn't happen all the time and get them booked on something else other then Carnival," Brinkley said.
If bookings go down, experts said the cruise lines will respond by dropping prices, but that hasn't been seen yet.
Carnival stock is a different story -- shares are bound to go down as they deal with this public relations nightmare for quite some time.

Dear Colleague, Electronic notebooks and collaborative computing systems are vitally important for forwarding current progress in science and technology. Please forward this to all technical or business persons in your enterprises with a need to know about this important global activity. Thank you. ====================================================================== FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 02/07/96 Contact: Dr. Rich Lysakowski The Collaborative Electronic Notebooks Systems (CENS) Consortium 8 Pheasant Avenue Sudbury, Massachusetts USA 01776 phone: 508-443-4771; fax: 508-440-9798; e-mail: rich at teamscience.com ======================================================================= SEARLE/MONSANTO JOINS ELECTRONIC NOTEBOOKS CONSORTIUM TO DEVELOP SYSTEMS TO PROTECT AND MANAGE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RECORDS FOR R&D FOUNDING MEMBERSHIP NOW COMPLETE FOR GLOBAL R&D SYSTEMS CONSORTIUM THE ELECTRONIC NOTEBOOKS CONSORTIUM COMPLETES FOUNDING MEMBERSHIP BOSTON, MA-- The Collaborative Electronic Notebook Systems (CENS) Consortium recently named ten major international corporations as Founding Members, including Bristol-Myers Squibb, Dow Chemical Company, HB Fuller, Rohm and Haas, and Searle/Monsanto. The goal of the Consortium is to influence the creation and design of industrial-strength software and standards for R&D and testing lab applications. Its primary focus is on R&D Team Computing Systems, including hardware and software for basic electronic recordkeeping, project data management and collaboration, and interfacing tools for integrating common laboratory data types and instruments, and specifically, collaborative electronic lab notebooks. The Consortium is focusing on the needs of end users, including chemists, biologists, materials scientists, engineers, and their affiliated patent attorneys, records managers, corporate intellectual property staff, and others who sometimes spend twenty percent or more of their time now working with paper records throughout the life cycle of those records. Archie Campbell, Executive Director of Chemical Sciences at Searle/Monsanto explains "The advantage of being a part of the Consortium is that it gives us access to the group's decades of industrial experience, as well as the expertise to use that experience as a tool to help our own teams achieve peak performance. By giving our teams rapid access to diverse information, the Consortium will help our company reach the greatest possible synergy among our scientists." The Consortium's component-based software and hardware architectures are being designed to include modules to support scientists working in combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, genetics, toxicology, analytical chemistry, materials science, agrochemical, environmental, and other types of testing and R&D laboratories. "Good systems at reasonable prices" is the mantra bringing members and vendors to the Consortium. "Building on top of well-tested, industry- leading hardware and software platforms for groupware, document management, and the Web, rather than building from scratch, will let the consortium deliver things quickly and cost effectively," says Dr. Rich Lysakowski, Consortium Executive Director and a principal of TeamScience, the firm leading and managing the Consortium. "We are emphasizing the use of forward-looking tools and open standards such as CORBA, Java, JavaBeans, ActiveX, and the World Wide Web in all of our lab and R&D modules." A major technical goal of the consortium is to pull together the necessary existing technology pieces and use them in the right combinations to satisfy various common requirements while, at the same time, establishing more software standards for open, integrated systems for R&D and testing laboratories. Software vendors selected by the Consortium will build object-oriented, client/server and middleware modules and applications for collaborative electronic notebooks and other R&D applications to meet the diverse needs of members at reasonable prices. Hardware vendors chosen by the Consortium will build specialized hand-held, PDA devices, portable notebooks, and servers for running the new electronic recordkeeping protocols. The Consortium is pooling the resources of major end-user corporations to create legally-acceptable systems and applications for R&D intellectual property protection and management. It has started defining practical procedures, protocols, and standards that meet all the major legal and regulatory requirements for open systems that manage electronic records in accurate, trustworthy, reliable ways. The Consortium is building on the work of the Electronic Records Consortium (ERC), the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA), the U.S. FDA, PTO, the University of Pittsburgh and other recent research projects done by agencies in Europe, Asia, and Australia. "We are focusing heavily on securing intellectual property electronically, in ways that are equal or better than paper systems," adds Dr. Lysakowski. "Consortium Members receive detailed engineering specifications, procedures, benchmarks and statements of best practices, plus supporting documentation for trustworthy and reliable electronic recordkeeping and records management. These deliverables will help large companies to transition successfully to fully electronic recordkeeping systems. What we are doing is generally useful to all major corporations and organizations that want to use electronic records." "The Consortium also increases our efficiency by allowing us to be a part of a single voice which interacts with multiple vendors and regulatory agencies," concludes Archie Campbell of Searle/Monsanto. "Without the Consortium, these issues would be much harder to address." The Consortium has now begun recruiting standard members and vendor members as it moves into the next phase of operations. Companies interested in becoming Consortium Members, or seeking for more information on TeamScience, Inc., should contact: Dr. Rich Lysakowski, Consortium Executive Director, The Collaborative Electronic Notebook Systems Consortium 8 Pheasant Avenue, Sudbury, MA 01776.

And yeah, I know the committee takes 'time' to give you credit. I just don't think that is right.. AT ALL. Not for Furman, not for Wofford, not for anyone. Read the SRS rules or the committee statement - it talks SOS, WL, margin of victory, how you played late in season.. NEVER does it mention you need to have done well the year before. And it shouldn't. Think if your son was a senior on any team that had been having 3/4 wins and then his senior year qualified by every metric to be in the playoffs.. .but was not invited ! And the solace was, well, it will help get next years guys into the playoffs. That ain't a great silver lining for the kid that did all the work and is graduating.
You just described 2002. You could've heard a pin drop when they told us we weren't selected.
One of the more frustrating, and least discussed, aspects of 2002 is that Wofford had a much better resume than Appalachian - ASU should have been the team on the bubble. Appy's best wins that year were a win over Furman in the "Miracle on the Mountain" go-for-2 game and an equally miraculous win over Liberty where Liberty dominated for 55 minutes and then collapsed. Although much was made of their AD being on the committee, I have always felt the committee, in classic gold ol' boy fashion, chose to go with the three established teams.

The CCA Advisory Council (AC) is to provide a forum for discussion and advice to the CCA board and management in order to advance the sport of cycling. Such advice will be in the areas of environmental scanning, business opportunities, international developments and relationship building and other areas that come to the attention of the CCA Board and management. The Advisory Council will also be a vehicle for the CCA to engage key individuals who have made or would like to make significant contributions to the sport of cycling in Canada and who are not currently engaged with the CCA through other means.
The Advisory Council mandate is defined by the CCA board, with its role being one of providing a forum for strategic advice and recommendations based on the current sporting and economic climate. The Advisory Council holds no decision making or policy authority but rather is valuable in its ability to provide insight into matters of critical importance to the development of cycling in Canada.
Advisory Council Membership
Individuals are appointed by the CCA board. Membership is voluntary and there is no compensation; other than out of pocket expenses required for the fulfillment of participation as a member of the Advisory Council. The size of the AC is at the discretion of the CCA board but for manageability it is expected that the AC would be less than 10 members. Persons who are currently engaged with the CCA or Provincial Sports Organizations as either staff, board or committee members would not be considered for appointment.
The CCA board will appoint individuals annually to assure the Advisory Council's effectiveness and relevancy to ensure the discussion and advice is aligned with current priorities. It is expected that membership will be diverse and include a mix of individuals representing cycling sports, genders, athletes, trade and industry. The process for identifying potential Advisory Council members will include direct invitation and solicitation of expressions of interest in being a member of the AC.
Meetings will be held by tele-conference and chaired by the CCA President or delegate. It is expected that at minimum 3 meetings will be held each year, however the Board and Advisory Council may set additional meetings as needed. Meetings will be open to Advisory Council members, CCA Board members and the CCA CEO and CTO. It is expected that additional participants would attend from time-to-time but only with the full consent of those in attendance.
Application process
Individuals interested in being considered for inclusion in the Advisory Council are asked to indicate their interest by emailing John Tolkamp, President of the CCA at firstname.lastname@example.com. A short (less than 1 page) summary of background and interest is appreciated but not necessary.

Any time there's trouble on Earth, we can count on NASA's Earth Observatory for some great satellite photos.
This time is no different.
On Friday, NASA released an Aqua satellite photo of the storms hitting California. They also released an animation showing the storms advancing on the Golden State from Jan. 19-21.
"Over the Pacific Ocean and the California coast, clouds assume the shape of a giant apostrophe, looking vaguely like a hurricane missing most of its center," according to NASA.

Japanese companies that made tough decisions about exiting businesses, closing factories and revamping management led a doubling of corporate earnings last quarter to the highest level since 2007.
Net income jumped to about ¥5.5 trillion (US$55 billion) at more than 1,280 of the largest listed non-financial firms, the most since a credit meltdown sparked a global recession six years ago, based on data compiled by Bloomberg. Profit climbed from ¥2.25 trillion a year ago, the fastest jump since 2010.
Companies showing profit surges include Panasonic Corp, which has cut 71,000 jobs; Mazda Motor Corp, which is shifting car production to Mexico; and Toyota Motor Corp, which overhauled management and halted new factory construction. The gains, also fueled by a weaker yen, contrast with disappointing results at firms such as Sony Corp, which resisted calls to spin off assets or close failing businesses.
"Companies that made efforts to cut costs and restructure before the yen started to weaken are the ones really showing growth," Mizuho Research Institute chief economist Tetsuro Sugiura said. "Japanese companies had fallen back in global competition because they weren't able to cut businesses and cut people, or were late in doing this."
Panasonic has undergone one of the more dramatic makeovers, shifting its focus from consumer electronics to alternative power products, such as solar panels and batteries. The company, once a leading television maker along with Sony and Sharp Corp, plans to stop making plasma TVs by March.
Operating income at Sharp beat estimates in the second quarter after cutting costs under a multiyear restructuring plan that included shutting some facilities and selling assets. The company last month reported its first net income since 2011 as a weaker yen and reduced costs helped its display business return to profit.
At Toyota, Japan's largest manufacturer raised its full-year net income forecast 13 percent to a record ¥1.67 trillion. Profit in the three months ended September jumped 70 percent to ¥438 billion, more than that of the next five biggest Japanese carmakers combined.
The Japan Inc's profit increases come as pressure mounts on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his so-called "Abenomics." Monetary easing and fiscal stimulus have not been enough to accelerate the economic recovery, even as a weaker currency stokes some exporters' profit.
GDP rose at an annualized 1.9 percent in the three months ended in September, down from 3.8 percent the previous quarter, the Cabinet Office reported on Thursday last week.
The growth slowdown draws attention to the lingering question of whether companies benefiting from Abenomics will return the favor by investing more to stimulate the broader economy.
Cash per share for all companies on the TOPIX climbed to ¥597 in the three months ended in September, 49 percent more than a year earlier, the fastest growth and the highest since at least 2004.
A sustainable economic recovery requires automakers to increase capital spending, spreading new business from partsmakers to materials producers and construction companies, SMBC Nikko Securities Inc quantitative strategist Keiichi Ito said.
The increase in profit last quarter has not been enough to spark such a surge across the economy. Japanese companies eased off on capital-spending growth in the second quarter and failed to step up exports. Corporate investment increased 0.7 percent, down from 4.4 percent.
