Aston Villa V Newcastle - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Paul Lambert insists players will be won over by Aston Villa's ambition - as he plots more new signings.
The manager does not believe Villa's uncertain future has hit his transfer plans, ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League visit of Newcastle.
The club are up for sale and Lambert is working with a restricted budget but still wants another creative midfielder.
He could hand Joe Cole and B#4.5million signing Carlos Sanchez their debuts against the Magpies and said he does not need to give targets the hard sell.
He told reporters: "Listen, no doubt about it, it's a massive club, the expectancy level is huge and I have got no worries on that whatsoever, on Aston Villa being a big draw for any footballer.
"The more success we can achieve or have, the stronger the hand we've got. We've got to get to that level, but regarding the club size and the facilities we've got, it's huge."
But Lambert will hold talks with new chief executive Tom Fox, after he joined form Arsenal this week, chairman Randy Lerner and chief financial officer Robin Russell to discuss the budget in the final week of the transfer window.
"I think Tom, Randy, myself and Robin will probably have a get together when Tom officially starts and ultimately the decision will be the chairman's on what's actually happening," he added.
"He's been great with me on that front and I'm pretty sure the four of us will get together at some point and talk about things."
Villa have lost 19 home Premier League games under Lambert and the Scot is wary about the damage the Magpies could cause at Villa Park again.
"They're a good side in general, I thought they were a good side last year too," he said.
"It's a tough game against Manchester City at the best of times but to play them in the opening game is probably your best chance to try and get a result from them because they're not in their stride.
"They've always finished strongly and they've always been up there. It's a club with high expectancy levels, a bit like ourselves, but Alan (Pardew) has done a really good job there."
Jores Okore is also in contention after playing in an Under-21s game against Stoke on Monday. The defender suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury last September after just four appearances following his B#4m arrival from FC Nordsjaelland. Strikers Christian Benteke (Achilles) and Libor Kozak (broken leg) remain sidelined.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has admitted the club is closely monitoring the transfer market amid speculation that they could yet receive a substantial bid for key midfielder Cheick Tiote.
Pardew has no desire to see the 28-year-old Ivory Coast international, who has three years remaining on his contract, leave St James' Park this summer and indeed is planning to welcome him back to training after a hamstring injury next week and subsequently, into his starting line-up.
However, having seen striker Andy Carroll sold to Liverpool for an eye-watering B#35million in January 2011 within weeks of his arrival on Tyneside, he knows he can never say never.
Asked if there is a contingency plan in place, Pardew said: "Yes. I've got the Andy Carroll experience here, and that's one of the benefits of being here for four years.
"But I never think that you can be safe with a player if you're not in the Champions League. Even if you're in it, now there are clubs who can go and poach from there, which has been proven in this window.
"You've got to be on your toes at all times and I have to say, I think we have been, this year in particular, really on the button on transfers.
"I've seen some inflated prices this week and that's worrying with nine days to go."
Tiote has been linked with Barclays Premier League rivals Arsenal in recent weeks, but the latest speculation involves Russian outfit Lokomotiv Moscow.
It is understood Lokomotiv had a bid or around B#4million rejected earlier this month, and Pardew confirmed that no club yet had come anywhere near presenting Newcastle with a tough decision.
He said: "I'm not exactly sure who bid. I heard there were a couple of derisory offers - and I mean way short of his valuation - and therefore we've not really entertained any serious thought of him leaving.
"We have all speculation about our players, we have had it in the past. Some of it carries weight - there were a lot of rumours last season with [Yohan] Cabaye and PSG and it happened, so I'm always open-minded about it.
"I'm a big fan of Cheick, I love the way he plays and the passion he plays with and he's been an important part of the success here. The players we've got round him this year will highlight his game a little bit more.
"He will train with us next week and I'm confident as I can be with any player that he will stay. "
Tiote will not be involved in the squad for Saturday's trip to Aston Villa as he continues his recovery, but summer signing Siem De Jong will be having returned to fitness after a foot problem.
However, the news of full-back Davide Santon, who underwent knee surgery during the summer, is less positive.
Pardew said: "It's not good news. When the surgeon looked at his knee there was a little bit more damage than we thought. That now looks like mid-November now rather than October."


I believe that it is very important coaches teach their option QBs to "read the stack" instead of teaching them to avoid it altogether. Many coaches believe that it is just too tough for their QB to read a stack on the base triple option play. I disagree. The key to teaching your QB to be a great stack reader is repetition, repetition and more repetition. Once he feels comfortable reading the stack, this allows your team to play harder and faster.
There are three possible scenarios that a QB faces when reading a stack: normal read, EZ read and Mesh Rush (or Blood stunt) read.
Diagram 1 shows what normally will happen when reading a stack. The DE will pinch inside to take the B-Back dive while the OLB will take either the QB or pitch back. In this case, the QB will read the DE as his "dive read" and the OLB as his "pitch read".
Diagram 2 shows what is called an EZ Stunt. This is when the DE and OLB change responsibilities with the DE now taking the QB or pitch back while the OLB takes the B-back. The defense does this in an effort to confuse your QB into making a bad decision. During the EZ stunt, our veer releasing OT will normally end up blocking the pinching OLB which will then cause the QB to pull the ball. The DE now becomes the pitch key defender.
Diagram 3 is an all-out effort by the defense to attack the "mesh" between the QB and B-back in order to cause chaos and a fumble. If this happens, our QB is taught to immediately pull up and pitch that ball to the pitch back. Once again, with lots of practice, this will become second nature for your QB. He will be able to handle this immense pressure.

The defending champions are just not pulling up any trees at the start of the new season. They are as many as ten points shy of table-toppers Zenit after just seven rounds of the campaign coming into their head to head encounter in the derby of the Matchday at Saint-Petersburg Stadium.
Parovozy brought a horrendous domestic form into the continental competition where they fell 3-0 to Turkish Galatasaray at the start of the new Champions League season. Yury Semin's job is thus now rumoured to be on the line and a potential defeat to the big domestic opponent here could make the board closer to parting ways with the man who led them to the Premier League title last year.
It's Zenit who've been the more successful outfit in the history of H2H games with Parovozy.
The Lions won 14, drew 11 and lost only 7 of 32 affairs against Lokomotiv.
However, it's Krasno-Zelyonyye who came on top both home and away in the previous term of the Premier League.
None of last four head to head outings produced goals at both ends.
Only one of last ten H2H matches saw three or more goals scored.
Zenit entered the season in a much more promising fashion. They almost have an impeccable record with six wins and a draw in seven rounds. It is enough for Sergei Semak and his men to be five points clear ta the very top of the standings.
The Lions conceded just two goals in seven matches and Loko will likely struggle to break them down on the occasion. The most recent of successes came away at in-form Orenburg last weekend. It was Alexandr Erokhin who inspired the 1-2 victory with an early first half brace.
Zenit are 1.61 to keep their scintillating form going and beat the struggling opposition. Knowing the visitors will come into this off the back of a tough 33-0 loss to Galatasaray, we believe the bet has value.
The safest of betting options would, however, be Under 2.5 goals FT at the odds of 1.60 knowing that only one of last ten H2H games saw three or more goals scored.
• Zenit to keep a clean sheet @ 1.90 (9/10).

ZeroCater removes stress from corporate catering. A catering concierge, ZeroCater brings employees together, builds culture, and fosters community—all over lunch. ZeroCater partners with the best local pop-up kitchens, gourmet food trucks, restaurants, private chefs, and caterers in the Bay Area, Chicago, New York City, and Washington, DC, making it easy for companies to feed their employees wholesome, delicious food.
The ZeroCater-Romulus story: We were introduced to Arram through a mutual friend, an early employee at Dropbox who knew Arram through the YCombinator network. ZeroCater's incredible operational efficiency, which allowed it to achieve $100M in sales with only $1.5M raised, impressed us. We partnered with the company to help take it to the next stage of growth.
Romulus value in action: Executing. ZeroCater's intense focus on air-tight execution takes the headache of corporate catering away from corporates themselves. Similarly, ZeroCater is an incredibly well-run, well-operated business that aligns with our execution-first values.
ZeroCater raises $4.1 million to keep office workers well-fed in the U.S.
While it seems like a new food delivery business launches or gets funded every season in the U.S., several have scaled back, like Sprig, or shut down entirely like Spoonrocket.
Among those that have survived, however, are smart sites and apps serving the office-catering corner of the industry, a $20 billion market in the U.S. alone according to research from Technomic….
ZeroCater Hits $100 Million In Sales With Only $1.5 Million In Funding
This past Wednesday I read an article on CNBC announcing that ZeroCater had surpassed $100 million dollars in revenue and now serves tens of thousands of meals per day. With all that is going on in the foodtech space, this may just seem like another startup success story, but one important detail makes the ZeroCater story different: CEO Arram Sabeti built his four-year-old, $100 million dollar company with no venture capital and a mere $1.5 million in funding…

PF6500 is a 4.3-mil clear textured vinyl that helps to eliminate glare and provides a very unique and pleasing viewing surface. This product can be used as an overlaminate for indoor as well as outdoor applications. PF6500 exceeds industry standards for slip resistance, when tested according to ASTM C-1028.
The durability of the film is 2 -3 years outdoors and 3 -5 years indoors in vertical applications. The durability of this film as a Floor Graphic is 3 months indoor and 1 week outdoors.
All Permacolor overlaminating films have UV resistance built in to help extend the life of your image. However, the durability of the image is mainly dependent upon the quality of the inks (see technical data sheets given by the ink manufacturers) and pressure sensitive media being used.
This test procedure is comparable to UL 723, ANSI/NFPA No. 255, and UBC No. 8-1.
PF6500 can be legally used in interior spaces, floors and walls, in public and private buildings where the building codes call out Class 1 Fire Ratings. Hospitals and shopping malls are most common facilities that requires this rating.
For price comparison, this material costs $0.42/sq.ft.

No time to waste: Becon has viable solution to help with Northern Ireland's landfill problem
The Becon project proposal, sited in the Hightown Quarry, Mallusk
30 September, 2021 13:00
Waste is not something most of us think about very often. As long as our bins get emptied every week, we probably don't pay it much more thought, trusting that it is being dealt with appropriately by our local councils.
That needs to change. We increasingly need to view our waste as a valuable resource, the same way they have been doing across Europe for many years.
The climate change emergency and the pursuit of a truly circular economy means we need to revisit what we do with our waste and ensure that the solutions we put in place are sustainable and follow best practice elsewhere.
When it comes to climate change, the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC) report has clearly outlined the scale of the challenge we all face with the UN calling this 'a code red for humanity' moment.
Within their report they also confirmed that methane emissions make a significant contribution to current global warming, even going as far to suggest that by reducing methane in the short to medium term we can buy the world extra time to tackle climate change.
The report also makes it clear that a major source of methane in our environment is from waste buried in landfills.
Research shows that over a 20-year period this potent greenhouse gas is around 84 times more powerful in global warming terms compared to carbon dioxide (CO2).
In 2019-20 NI landfilled over 240,000 tonnes of its residual household waste
Yet in Northern Ireland we continue to landfill large volumes of our waste. Last year we sent over 240,000 tonnes of our household residual waste to landfill where it contributes to harmful methane gases being released.
That's the black bin waste we all produce, which is largely non-recyclable. This doesn't even factor in additional commercial and industrial waste which also must be treated sustainably.
If Northern Ireland is committed to playing its part in tackling climate change, in meeting agreed Circular Economy and net zero carbon targets, we must stop sending our residual (largely non-recyclable) waste to landfill.
That's why Circular Economy targets have placed a cap on landfill of a maximum of 10 per cent by 2035 and why the UK Committee on Climate Change's (CCC) have proposed a total ban on biodegradable waste to landfill by 2025. We need a more sustainable solution for this waste, which continues to grow year on year.
Most people probably don't realise that due to the need to avoid landfill, we also ship a lot of Northern Ireland waste to Europe and further afield every year, where most of it is used to fuel energy from waste plants there.
This approach is both economically and environmentally unsustainable, particularly as these export markets are becoming more expensive or in many cases closing altogether as countries prioritise their own waste.
In 2019-2020 NI exported over 235,000 tonnes of its waste - much of which fuelled energy from waste facilites abroad
Last year 235,000 tonnes of our waste were exported abroad where much of its value was extracted through energy and electricity creation. This is an increasingly illogical approach, when at the same time as exporting our waste as a fuel, we continue to import fossil fuels to meet local energy needs. It also runs contrary to the core proximity principle of waste management which means that waste must be dealt with as close to the source as possible.
The reason our waste is landfilled and exported is simple. It's because there is insufficient waste treatment infrastructure in Northern Ireland to manage our waste locally.
A recent report by the UK's leading waste experts , Tolvik Consulting, stated that by 2035, assuming we meet ambitious 65 per cent recycling targets outlined in the agreed Circular Economy targets, NI will still produce over 500,000 tonnes of residual (largely unrecyclable) waste that needs treated sustainably.
They point out that even with the addition of the proposed arc21 integrated waste treatment facility on top of existing infrastructure (including the Full Circle Generation facility in Belfast) that leaves a residual waste treatment capacity gap of over 124,000 tonnes.
Northern Ireland needs to catch up with the rest of the UK and Europe and deliver local, modern, integrated waste infrastructure which respects the proximity principle of waste management. Across Europe energy from waste facilities are commonplace with over 500 in operation today, delivering a more sustainable waste management solution by diverting waste from landfill while also generating valuable energy and enhancing the security of energy supply.
Northern Ireland needs a fully integrated waste management system
The proposed £240m becon project is specifically designed to meet the needs of the six councils within the arc21 area – Belfast City Council, Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council, Ards and North Down Borough Council, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council.
The integrated waste infrastructure facility will divert the current ratepayer incurred costs for landfill and waste export to deliver a more sustainable solution with many local benefits.
It will firstly increase recycling levels by extracting valuable materials that are in our black bins and then generate valuable, safe and sustainable energy from the remaining non-recyclable material. This will use the latest energy from waste technologies available to maximise its efficiency and minimise emissions.
The proposed facilities will produce enough electricity to supply up to 30,000 homes locally and reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 57,500 tonnes per annum compared to sending waste to landfill. It will deliver 50,0000+ MWh per year towards renewable energy targets, increasing the diversity of energy production through a continuous base load.
This will complement intermittent renewables like wind and help increase the overall security of supply. It will also help end the need to export our waste and create local jobs and inward investment in the process.
The facilities will also have the potential to enable a range of other valuable decarbonisation technologies such as hydrogen fuel production and district/industrial heating schemes, ensuring it delivers even more carbon reduction benefits locally.
The arc21 project has already spent over seven years in the NI planning system, during which it has been recommended for approval by three sets of professional planners including the independent Planning Appeals Commission. With the pressing climate emergency, the time for a positive planning decision is now…we have no time to waste.

In addition to traditional land casinos, players can also choose to play their favorite casino games on the Internet(Maxbet Malaysia). The feel and game experience between these two versions of the game environment can be quite different. Some players like to play in a traditional casino, while other players can enjoy an online casino. Let's explore some of the main benefits of playing online casinos, allowing many players to choose to play their favorite casino games.
With online casinos, players don't need to go to the land casino to play their favorite casino games. You can play anywhere, you don't have to leave work to play in the casino, you don't need to spend money to go to the casino just to play your favorite game. All you need is an internet connection to access any online casino you want.
You can access any online casino with just a few clicks, sitting in front of a computer connected to the Internet. There are many online casinos in the world that are more than land-based casinos. You have more choices to choose the casino you like and switch from one casino to another to enjoy the different gaming environments offered by different online casinos.
You can better focus on the online gaming environment. The waitress regularly drinks you with no noise and distractions, no sounds can scream and ridicule other players and dealers who collect and distribute sounds without sound. You can play in a very quiet game environment in your own room and turn off your computer if you wish.
If you play games at a land casino, you can only play one type of game at a time. Online casinos allow you to open different games and play them at the same time.
Most online casinos offer different banking methods, making it easy to make deposits and withdrawals. Compared to a land-based casino, you must withdraw or withdraw money at an ATM at the casino, and then you must exchange the money for casino chips to play. Online casinos offer simple money transactions, and each time you win a prize, deposit the amount into your account and automatically deposit the money into your account. You can ask for safe withdrawals from your credit card, bank account or any selected banking method.
The benefits mentioned are some of the main reasons that encourage many players to play their favorite online casino games.

Our regional approach to economic development planning takes stock of assets across Penobscot, Piscataquis, Hancock, and Waldo Counties, and makes plans for the future that are locally-driven. The US Economic Development Administration designated EMDC to be responsible for the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), which engages community leaders and representatives of the private sector to create a holistic plan for our region.
Current CEDS
Expanding Broadband Capacity
We work with communities to increase access to broadband in Eastern Maine. While fiber and other telecom technology infrastructure exists in parts of the region, more availability, increased speeds, and adoption for small businesses, entrepreneurs, communities, and residents is needed. EMDC partners with providers to map current assets and plan for expanded capacity, including securing funds for the planning and implementation process.
Revitalizing Existing Properties
Through the Environmental Protection Agency's Brownfields program, EMDC works with communities to clean up and reinvest in properties that may pose a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant risk. By completing assessments and cleaning up these Brownfields, communities reinvest in these properties, leading to further revitalization.
Local Planning
We assist communities with the development of comprehensive plans, a tool for municipalities to gather ideas about the future of their community and to formulate actions to achieve that vision. A comprehensive plan addresses issues of land use, government administration, capital improvement, and economic development. To secure certain state grants, municipalities must have a locally-adopted and state-deemed consistent comprehensive plan. The plan provides communities with direction that municipal officials can follow to ensure proper growth and development.
We serve as a resource, providing information on: subdivisions, land use, comprehensive planning, and business growth strategies.
State and federal funding can be leveraged to revive our systems and provide reliable transportation to our communities. We offer strategic services to help you plan transportation upgrades, including:
Providing traffic counts and crash data
Serving as a liaison between a town and the Maine DOT
Assessing of the physical safety of roadways
Coordinating public outreach surveys and events
A.D.A.P.T. Bucksport Executive Summary: The Town of Bucksport, in partnership with EMDC, has worked to develop a community-supported vision and plan for the future of the former Paper Mill property. The project is funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Area-Wide Planning Program. The outcome of the process was an achievable and community-driven redevelopment plan for the Bucksport Mill property.

2017 Oscar Favorites: Best Dressed and Bold Statements
by Olga Maria Czarkowski February 28, 2017 February 15, 2021
Best Dressed + Bold Statements
Every year, fashion enthusiasts from around the world have a sacred moment with their televisions (or technological devices) watching the prestigious red carpet of The Academy Awards. This year at the 89th annual Academy Awards Red Carpet, there was a certain notable accessory that shined among the vintage and classic looks featured among the best dressed, and it was not diamonds, nor Swarovski crystals, but rather ribbons and pins supporting important causes.
Let's begin with Emma Stone, who is not only part of our HipLatina's Oscar 2017 Best Dressed List (making an entrance in a stunning fringed gold gown by Givenchy Haute Couture) but she also wore a pin to showcase her support for Planned Parenthood, the women's rights and healthcare organization.
Another actress who showed her support for the organization, by rocking a Planned Parenthood pin on her fabulous Gucci Clutch, was Dakota Johnson. She also wore gold — a silky Gucci gown. You can see close-ups of the pin on this organization's twitter account by searching for the hashtag #IStandWithPP.
My #Oscars 2017 best dressed: Janelle Monae in Elie Saab, Karlie Kloss in Stella McCartney, Emma Stone in Givenchy, Olivia Culpo in Marchesa pic.twitter.com/yPZCkjig94
— Fi (@federering) February 27, 2017
Other celebrities who made a strong statement include Ruth Negga, who not only looked fabulous in a gorgeous red Valentino gown, but also wore a ribbon in protest against President Trump's travel ban and to support The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Organization (ACLU's mission, as stated on their website, has remained the same for over 100 years: "To defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed to every person in this country.").
Supporting the same organization was Hamilton's creator and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, who not only caused a sensation online by wearing a ribbon to support the ACLU, but also by bringing the cutest date ever to The Oscars—his mother! This was one of the most notable red carpet moments of the evening! His beautiful mom not only wore the classic blue ribbon, but she represented Latina moms proudly as one of the best dressed mothers we have ever seen on the Oscars red carpet (wearing a timeless black and white gown with long silky gloves and emerald green accessories). Well done Dr. Luz Towns-Miranda!!!
Speaking of best dressed, let's continue on with more of our HipLatina's Oscar 2017 Best Dressed List. Adding to the list of ladies and gentleman mentioned above is Taraji P. Henson, who transported us to the glamour of Old Hollywood by donning an elegant dark blue piece by Alberta Ferretti, along with a diamond necklace.
Among the classy beauties that looked super glam was Janelle Monae in Elie Saab. It really was a fairytale piece!
Salma Hayek showed some skin in a sexy black Alexander McQueen gown. Isn't she fabulous at fifty? Goals, ladies!!! We must take notes.
As previously seen with Emma Stone and Ruth Negga, Olivia Culpo also showcased a vintage look with her outfit—a custom Marchesa dress for Stella Artois, inspired by their limited-edition chalices, which fund five years of water for women in the developing world. The partnership between Marchesa, the beer brand Stella Artois, and the nonprofit Water.org (which is co-founded by the famous actor and Oscar presenter, Matt Damon) is all in support of the clean drinking water campaign. We truly loved the vintage trend on the red carpet, and even more importantly, the festive ways celebrities were supporting important causes on this occasion.
Jessica Biel took chances and made a bold statement in a sequin dress and a fabulous chunky necklace. Walking the red carpet, she looked marvelous. Way to go Mrs. Timberlake!
Hailee Steinfeld wore a sheer floral romantic dress to The Oscars. The dress was so glamorous and featured an elaborate back flourish. A must see!
Karlie Kloss turned heads in a white, asymmetrical Stella McCartney gown. She looked super chic and dazzling. Our favorite part of her dress was the built-in cape and her striking diamond necklace.
Last but not least, our favorite eye candy of the night was Ryan Gosling. He looked incredibly dapper in a fitted, contemporary Gucci black tuxedo, bowtie and monochromatic ruffled shirt. Of course we know that behind any well-dressed man is an amazing woman. Eva we missed you last night!
Did we skip anyone? Who was your favorite this year?
Special note: While we are sooooo happy that Moonlight won the best picture award, we can't help but feel sorry for La La Land. But kudos to them for handling this error with class and dignity!

Q: ExtJS 5 - Tooltip with dynamic content I'm trying to figure out a way to dynamically configure the content of a tooltip.  Ideally I'd like to have a function called when the user hovers over the tooltip component.  This function would determine and return the content string and the tooltip would then be displayed with that content.
Specifically, this tooltip is for a tool component (if that matters.)
See fiddle here.

A: Sencha's example page has a few different types of tooltips, including a dynamic ajax one.
There's also the docs page that gives an example of how to change the content by using the "beforeshow" event.  That example is under the "Delegation" heading.

If you are a fan of big spinning wheels (thinking Wheel of Fortune here), then the U Spin games are likely to appeal to you. Unlike previous slot machine 'wheel' games, with this one you don't just press a button to get the wheel spinning, you actually spin it.
Battling with tough competition, Bally Technologies developed several slot machines games for the online market featuring a special U-Spin round. The most famous of them is Cash Spin, which has 5 reels and 243 ways to win.
The graphics are basic, although vibrant and enhanced with bright colours. The symbols include playing card denominations from 9 to Ace and images of diamonds, dollar signs, emeralds and rubies. Clearly, the intention is to focus on items that scream wealth and riches. There are three special symbols, a Wild, a Money Bag Bonus symbol and a U-Spin symbol.
The highlight of Cash Spins is the U-Spin Wheel of Fortune feature, the one that is shared among all Bally's U-Spin online slots. By landing the U-Spin symbol on reels 1, 3 and 5 in one spin the feature gets triggered and the player gets the chance to spin the big wheel loaded with prizes. The wheel is spun by clicking and dragging or touching the screen if played on mobile and the players waits to see where it lands.
Potential prizes include 12 to 60 free spins with 2x multipliers and prizes expressed in casino credits. The other fun feature is the Money Bag bonus - triggered with three bonus symbols, the Money Bag awards the players with a cash prize worth 3x to 50x the total stake.
Cash Spin's offers an RTP of 94.15%, and a non-progressive jackpot of 50x your total bet in the Money Bag feature.
The U-spin series of slots by Bally also includes games like Michael Jackson, Vegas Hits and Golden Pharaoh. When I last played this game in Vegas, it was great to see people standing up and spinning the wheel of fortune, then cheering as the big wheel goes around. Just like on the show.
Of course, the wheel in the U-spin slots is not a mechanical one, but instead it is embedded into a huge video screen. It's pretty clever though as you use your hand to spin it. for those that prefer, there is an option of pressing a button, but most people do like to spin it with their hands.
The U Spin slot machine itself is a pretty basic 3-reel slot, as with the most popular of the wheel of fortune games out there, but it does have several new and innovative features that will appeal to many.

Just as the gift of prayer in the individual is the work of the Holy Spirit (see Phase Two), so also the formation of a praying community, whether that of the family, group of friends, or parish, is the work of the Holy Spirit. The birth of the Church came about on Pentecost through the power of the Holy Spirit in the midst of a praying community (Acts 1:14). In every Holy Mass the celebrant prays on behalf of the worshipping community that the same Holy Spirit may make us into one body of Christ. "Grant that we who are nourished by His Body and Blood, may be filled with his Holy Spirit, and become one body, one spirit in Christ" (Third Eucharistic Prayer).
(b) to discern the many graces God is offering us through prayer, especially through shared prayer about which our Blessed Mother is instructing us in this phase.
This is the first step towards the formation of a praying community, united in heart and mind.


"Seek God first and prepare to build a Temple unto His Holy Name..."
These words were offered by our families in Syria to our grandparents who embarked for the United States at the turn of the century. Inspired by the loving counsel of these words, and with the visit a;nd encouragement of Bishop Raphael Hawaweeny (now St. Raphael of Brooklyn), our immigrant families were inspired to build our first church on Geneva Street. There were many difficulties to overcome for those first Orthodox families in the Geneva area. However, this sacred ambition of forming a parish and building a Temple to God was foremost in their hearts from the moment of their arrival. Some families came to Geneva in the 1880's, but most came at the end of the 19th century when the Ottoman Turks were persecuting all Christians in the Holy Land. The United States provided a safe place to raise their families and to worship without fear of persecution or death.For the first few years, they gathered regularly in various homes in the name of God and their strong Orthodox Faith. On rare occasions, a missionary priest came to administer the Sacraments. Once the families began to combine their few hard-earned dollars and, by the sweat of their brows, built the first church on Geneva Street, they were able to have a permanent Priest, Fr. Daniel George. The formal organization of our parish began in 1912, and St. Michael's was formally incorporated in 1915. This was the same year that our first building was constructed and consecrated for worship of the Holy Trinity in the Orthodox Faith.For forty-three years, the parishioners worshipped at the Temple on Geneva Street. Our precious church was built next to the Geneva Fire Station, and as the city grew our site was needed for expansion. The city asked to buy the building and lot for the needed improvement of the Fire Department, and our Parish Council agreed.The last Divine Liturgy in our first Temple was celebrated on November 16, 1958. A special service of de-consecration was held, and the Holy Altar, Icons, and other sacred appointments were removed. Soon the city razed the brick building, and we were able to recover the cornerstone and the records that had been placed in it. (The cornerstone was moved to a position of honor beneath the Episcopal Throne in the Holy Place of the new Church by Fr. Murphy upon his arrival in September 2002.)At the time of the sale of our old building, the parish also owned a large house on the corner of Genesee and Lafayette Streets. The upper stories were used as a Rectory, and the ground floor was used as classroom and meeting space. Once the old building was sold, the congregation used the first floor space to gather for the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. They met there for a year, then this building was demolished to make space for the construction of a new Temple for the worship of Almighty God.
Through the kindness and generosity of the Vestry of St. Peter's Episcopal Church (located one block to the south, on the corner of Genesee and Lewis Streets), we were able to conduct our services in their parish hall during construction. This arrangement continued for two years until our new church was completed. Then, on November 26, 1961, Metropolitan Antony Bashir consecrated our new church building. A new phase in the life of St. Michael's Orthodox Church in Geneva was underway.
Edited & emended from the Preface in the 75th Anniversary booklet of St. Michael's Parish (November 2-4, 1990).
The first permanent pastor of our parish was the Reverend Father Daniel A. George, who came in 1912 in anticipation of the consecration of our first church. He formally became our pastor with our incorporation as a parish in 1915.
St. Michael's first Deacon was ordained by Metropolitan Philip Saliba on October 5, 1980.
He was a man of immense character and love. He was our beloved Deacon John Jabara.
He reposed in the Lord on September 10, 1990, after a prolonged struggle with cancer.
The 75th Anniversary celebration of our parish was dedicated to his memory.
Rejoice, O Father Raphael, Adornment of the Holy Church! Thou art Champion of the true Faith, Seeker of the lost, Consolation of the oppressed, Father to orphans, and Friend of the poor, Peacemaker and Good Shepherd, Joy of all the Orthodox, Son of Antioch, Boast of America: Intercede with Christ God for us and for all who honor thee. Burial site of St. Raphael at the Antiochian Village Kontakion of Saint Raphael - Tone 3 Today the memory of blessed Raphael hath shone on us; For having received Christ's call, he faithfully took up his cross and followed Him becoming a fisher of men. Let us cry aloud to him saying: Rejoice O Father Raphael!
In Syria, November 8, 1860, St. Raphael was born to Michael and Mariam Hawaweeny. Like all of us he attended elementary school. Unfortunately his father was not able to afford the tuition, so the Metropolitan of Homs recommended to Patriarch Hierotheos, of Antioch, that Rafla (Saint Raphael's name given at his baptism) be accepted as a student of the Patriarchate to prepare for the priesthood. This preparation lead to his tonsuring as a monk on March 28, 1879. Fallowing his tonsuring he studied at the School of Theology at Halki. On December 8, 1885 he was ordained to the diaconate. By Bishop Slylvester, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1889. Only a month later he was raised to the position of Archimandrite. This humble man served the church in Russia for many years.
November 2, 1895, Archimandrite Arrived in New York. Making several cross country journeys, seeking out the Arab-Americans of the country. Finding the lost sheep of the church he preformed marriages, baptisms, heard confessions, and celebrated Divine Liturgies in the homes of the faithful. Being the Sheperd of the Lost Sheep, he founded 30 churches across the United States, and became know as the Shepherd of the Lost Sheep In America.
In December of 1901 Saint Raphael became the Bishop of Brooklyn and in 1904 the 1st Bishop to consecrate the American soil. Saint Raphael also founded the Word magazine (al kalimat)we read today. He died February 27, 1915 at the age of 55, from heart ailment. The wonderful man was berried in New York and then moved to the Antiochian Village Camp. March 29, 2000 his sainthood was proclaimed by the holy synod of the Orthodox Church in America.
With all this in mind, we sing: "Oh holy father Raphael pray unto God for us!"

Anna Haifisch
Leipzig and the World
In Haifisch's comic Disney is a failed artist but someone who is skilled at dealing with other artists and their work. | © Anna Haifisch
Anna Haifisch publishes comics in New York and co-founded a comic festival in Leipzig: this is how the illustrator combines her fascination with US culture, local engagement and her penchant for the independent.
By Stefan Pannor
Born in Leipzig in 1986, Anna Haifisch studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig from 2004 to 2011. She worked in the USA in 2008. In 2013 she was a co-founder of the Millionaires Club in Leipzig, one of the city's two annual independent comic festivals. Von Spatz, her first book, was published in 2015.
The ambivalent Disney
In Von Spatz, Haifisch tells the (fictitious) story of Walt Disney's stay in a psychiatric clinic. This is a comedy of lost illusions: Haifisch's Disney would like to be a great artist but is merely a gifted manager. His animated film studio goes to rack and ruin in his absence, as the comic explains: "The animators had built themselves little trenches from which they shot sharp pieces of metal at the colourists." Why Disney? Anna Haifisch explains: "I find his vision and his work extremely impressive. Yet he is an ambivalent character: terribly domineering but at the same time extremely affectionate in his dealings with the drawings and animations."
A special work
In 2015 and 2016, Haifisch's The Artist comic strip appeared in the American online magazine Vice. This was the result of a coincidence: "The US cartoonist Alex Schubert had recommended me because he had found one of my comic books in a shop in New York." And it was this coincidence that brought Haifisch her international breakthrough. Ever since, her books have also been regularly published in English. The Artist portrays the failed attempts by a nameless and pretentious artist to establish himself in the art scene. As Haifisch explains, the comic is not autobiographical, "but the protagonist does have a lot in common with me in terms of temperament".
© Anna Haifisch
Minimalism and a visually alien-looking world are characteristic of Haifisch's comics: The self-portrait is no exception.
The comic strip "The Artist" appeared in the American online magazine "Vice".
"The Artist" portrays the attempts of an artist to establish himself in the art scene. The drawings of the characters, the backgrounds, the colours and in many cases even the events are reduced to the bare minimum.
In "Von Spatz", Anna Haifisch tells the (fictitious) story of Walt Disney's stay in a Californian psychiatric clinic.
During the tale, other well-known artists also appear in an alienated form, such as the illustrator Tomi Ungerer who asks Walt Disney for advice.
A Leipzig school
The temperament she is referring to is a sense of minimalism and alienation. Visually, the protagonist in The Artist is an elongated and emaciated bird-like creature, almost bereft of any individual features – as far as possible, any background is left out. What is more, Haifisch works with an extremely reduced palette of colours. Together with her cartoonist and studio colleagues Max Baitinger and James Turek, whose work is similarly abstract, one can talk of the aesthetics of a Leipzig school of comics.
Locally international
Haifisch co-founded Leipzig's second regular independent comic festival in 2013. "I think it's great when visitors who I have never seen before spend hours just hanging out there and getting to know a few new people." International guests show how globally connected the festival is: one co-organizer is New York cartoonist James Turek, who is now based in Leipzig.
In the artist's own words
"The USA has always held a particular attraction for me because of its culture. I grew up behind the Iron Curtain, so when the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 all of this suddenly became accessible to me. When my comics relate in some way to the US, in other words, this is not only a reference I am making, but something that is deeply personal."

Neighbours addresses using Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan body doubles
Fans of Neighbours may be disappointed that the iconic Australian soap will be ending in just a few months, but at least the programme will go out with a bang, bringing back a slew of familiar personalities from the show's 37-year run to celebrate.
The homecoming of Kylie Minogue, who built her name before dabbling in winemaking and becoming one of the biggest pop artists on the planet, is perhaps the most thrilling.
Of course, Charlene wouldn't be Charlene without Scott, and Jason Donovan has also been set to return.
But, given Kylie and Jason's hectic schedules, it's not unexpected that the couple only had half a day on set to film and that body doubles were employed for images they didn't have time for.
"As with most TV and films, there are doubles/stand-ins used for various reasons," according to a statement from the show's Australian network, Channel 10.
So there you have it: any photos of Charlene and Scott without their faces may not be Kylie and Jason at all, but any Kylie in the final episodes is better than no Kylie at all, right?
Meanwhile, executive producer Jason Herbison revealed that Hollywood actor Guy Pearce had also recorded a return appearance for the finale, stating that he had filmed "a spectacular plot arc."
Is that arc referring to the general conclusion storyline, or does he have a more substantial role that isn't merely a cameo? We can't wait to watch how everything turns out.

Spanish-Language Reporter Facing Deportation Denied Bond
In this April 3, 2018 file photo, Memphis police arrest Spanish-language reporter Manuel Durán during an immigration protest in Memphis, Tenn. Lawyers for Durán, facing deportation, say he has been denied release from detention. The Southern Poverty Law Center said in a news release that an immigration judge denied bond for Duran during a hearing Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019, in Jena, Louisiana. (Jim Weber/The Commercial Appeal via AP, File)
By Adrian Sainz, Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — A detained Spanish-language reporter facing deportation after he was arrested while covering an immigration rally in Tennessee was denied release Thursday, his lawyers said.
An immigration judge denied bond for Manuel Durán during a hearing in Jena, Louisiana, the Southern Poverty Law Center said in a statement.
Durán is being held in Louisiana as the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta reviews his case for asylum. Durán's lawyers claim conditions have worsened for reporters in El Salvador and he could be in danger if he returns. The appeals court has granted Durán an indefinite stay from deportation.
Durán has been in custody since he was arrested at an April rally protesting immigration policies the day before the 50th anniversary of the assassination of civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in downtown Memphis.
Charges related to the protest were dropped, but he was picked up by immigration agents after he was released from jail and detained. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said Durán was taken into custody because he had a pending deportation order from 2007 after failing to appear for a court hearing.
Durán has said he did not receive a notice to appear with a time and date on it.
Durán is from El Salvador and he has lived in Memphis for years. He ran the Memphis Noticias online news outlet and reported on the effects of U.S. immigration policies on the Hispanic community. Durán's lawyers have said he came to the U.S. without permission in 2006 after receiving death threats related to reporting on corruption in El Salvador.
The SPLC, which has been representing Durán in his immigration case, has argued that Durán is not a flight risk. Gracie Willis, a staff attorney for the center, said Durán's lawyers were heartbroken that he was denied release to his family in Memphis.
"The prolonged detention of a journalist who has been granted a stay of removal by a higher court is unjust, unreasonable, and a waste of resources," Willis said in a statement.
Lawyers could appeal the ruling to deny bond, but a decision from the Board of Immigration Appeals could take months, Willis said in a phone interview later Thursday. ICE also could release Durán under an order of supervision that would require him to check in regularly with the agency as he fights his case. However, ICE has denied similar requests for that type of release for Durán, Willis said.

Just like with Age of Republic we are getting a special one shot comic that will cover numerous characters from the Age of Rebellion. This comic will include stories about IG-88, Yoda, and two fan favorite pilots Biggs Darklighter and Jek Porkins. I am intrigued about this book because of the wide range of characters we get to see from the different corners of the galaxy.
It is time for the official kick off the Alexander Freed's novel, Alphabet Squadron, and Marvel is kicking it off with a tie in mini-series that will focus on the Imperial side of the story. This mini-series looks to give us a look into the villains of the upcoming novel and what makes them tick. Since the upcoming novel will use a focus from the Rebels point of view it will be interesting to get the Imperial point of view leading into the novels release.
Anakin and Yoda take the spotlight this month as Star Wars Adventures closes out it's three issue storytelling of the prequels. Due to the limited interactions these two characters get in the movies I am happy to see further stories about them together being told in other mediums. This looks to be a fun story you can pick up without much background knowledge.

Orion Energy Systems, Inc. Announces Preliminary Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results
May 18, 2011 at 4:02 PM EDT
Orion Energy Systems, Inc. Announces Preliminary Fiscal 2011 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results 56.9 KB
MANITOWOC, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Orion Energy Systems, Inc. (NYSE Amex: OESX), a leading power technology enterprise, announced today preliminary financial results for its fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and full fiscal-year ended March 31, 2011.
Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2011
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, Orion reported preliminary revenues of $31.6 million under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), a 68% increase compared to $18.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Total backlog at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $7.8 million, which included $6.5 million of solar photovoltaic (PV) system orders, compared to $3.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and $8.6 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Orion generally expects the non-solar PV backlog to be recognized as GAAP revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, with the portion of backlog relating to solar PV orders recognized within the first three quarters of fiscal 2012.
Contracted revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were $29.0 million, a 77% increase versus the prior year fiscal 2010 fourth quarter total of $16.4 million. Included in the $29.0 million were $25.4 million in cash orders and $3.6 million in financed contracts from Orion Throughput Agreements (OTAs). Prior year contracted revenues included $13.1 million in cash orders and $3.3 million in financed contracts from OTA agreements. See the section below titled "Definition and Reconciliation of Contracted Revenues" for details on how Orion defines contracted revenues.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company reported preliminary GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or $0.08 per share, which included a favorable one-time tax benefit of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share, from the conversion of incentive stock options to non-qualified stock options. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, GAAP net loss was $(0.8 million), or $(0.04) per share.
Full Fiscal Year 2011
For the full fiscal year 2011, preliminary GAAP revenues were $89.7 million, an increase of 37% compared to $65.4 million for fiscal year 2010. For fiscal year 2011, Orion also reported contracted revenues of $103.9 million, a 41% increase compared to $73.9 million for fiscal year 2010. Included in the $103.9 million were $87.4 million in cash orders and $16.5 million in financed contracts from OTA and solar technology power purchase agreements (PPAs). Contracted revenues for fiscal 2010 included $62.2 million in cash orders and $11.7 million in financed contracts from OTAs and PPAs.
For fiscal year 2011, the Company reported preliminary GAAP net income of $1.2 million, or $0.05 per share, which includes the favorable one-time tax benefit of $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share. For fiscal year 2010, GAAP net loss was $(4.2 million), or $(0.19) per share.
Key Business Highlights
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011:
Orion increased the number of facilities retrofitted with its Compact Modular high-intensity fluorescent lighting technology to 6,807 as of the end of the fourth quarter fiscal 2011 (compared to 6,517 as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011), representing 1.1 billion square feet of installed facilities.
Total deployments of the InteLite® wireless controls increased to 603 customer locations, consisting of 72,526 dynamic control devices (or transceivers) and 573 control panels (compared to 65,839 transceivers and 551 control panels as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011). The deployments represent 32.6 million square feet of installed facilities as of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (compared to 29.6 million square feet as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011).
Total Apollo® solar light pipes installed increased to 11,787 total units (compared to 8,952 total units as of the end of the third quarter 2011), representing 5.3 million square feet of installed facilities as of the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (compared to 4.0 million square feet of installed facilities as of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2011). The unit volumes represented the single largest quarter of shipments for Apollo® solar light pipes in the Company's history.
As previously announced in February, Orion renewed a long-standing relationship with a third-party finance company to sell certain qualifying OTA contracts on a non-recourse basis. The finance company has taken over various back-office procedures relating to the underwriting, funding and servicing of qualifying OTA contracts, at a cost of capital that is expected to be consistent with rates that Orion has charged finance customers historically.
OTA finance contracts entered into under a capital lease structure were $2.5 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, representing 70% of the total contracted revenue from OTAs. Orion generally expects these OTA contracted revenues to be recognized as GAAP revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, although on a discounted net present value basis. Included in the $2.5 million were $0.4 million of commitments to purchase OTA capital leases by the third-party finance company.
Orion also announced in recent months the key executive appointments of Richard Gaumer, CPA, CFE, to Executive Vice President of Operations, Michael Harris, CPA, to Chief Financial Officer, Scott Jensen, CPA, to Chief Accounting Officer, and James Jackson to Senior Vice President of Sales.
Neal Verfuerth, Chief Executive Officer of Orion commented, "We are pleased to report a second consecutive quarter of strong, double-digit revenue growth and the return to profitability for the full fiscal year 2011. Fiscal 2011 results show Orion's business model is working, as unit shipments also increased at strong double-digit rates across all major product categories. The recent changes to the structure and funding of OTA finance contracts, along with a generally improving macroeconomic environment, position Orion to further improve upon its financial performance heading into fiscal 2012."
"We continue to see a number of encouraging indicators in recent months that point toward a building pipeline of potential cash and OTA projects," continued Mr. Verfuerth. "Orion is and will be investing in a number of sales and marketing initiatives during fiscal 2012 to capitalize on several growth opportunities. Our recent executive appointments in the sales, operations and finance areas of the business have rounded out a management team at Orion that will further facilitate the execution of our strategic growth plans."
Fiscal 2012 Outlook
For fiscal 2012, the Company currently expects GAAP revenue to be between $112 million and $118 million. The Company's expectation of GAAP earnings per share for fiscal 2012 is between $0.18 and $0.22 per diluted share.
The Company currently expects the forecasted ranges for other key financial-statement line items and metrics for fiscal 2012 to be as follows:
Gross margin — 33.2% to 35.2%
Operating margin — 7.0% to 8.0%
Effective tax rate — approximately 40.0%
Diluted share count — 23.9 to 24.7 million
Capital spending (excluding operating leases) - $2.5 to $3.0 million
Capital spending for equipment held under OTAs and PPAs - $1.8 to $2.4 million
Depreciation and amortization - $3.9 to $4.5 million
Stock-based compensation expense - $1.7 to $2.1 million
Historically, Orion has tended to experience revenue in the first quarter that represents the lowest or second-lowest quarterly revenue amount within any given fiscal year. Also, on a historical basis, the Company tends to experience a sequential decline in revenue during the first quarter of a fiscal year relative to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company currently expects GAAP revenue to be between $20 million and $22 million and GAAP earnings per share to be between $(0.02) and $0.00.
The above guidance is based on the Company's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its outlook. Investors are reminded that actual results may differ, and may differ materially, from these estimates for the reasons described below under the caption "Safe Harbor Statement" and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cash, Debt and Liquidity Position
Orion had $11.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 million in short-term investments as of March 31, 2011, compared to $9.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. Total short and long-term debt was $5.4 million as of March 31, 2011, compared to $5.9 million at December 31, 2010. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2011, which has an availability of $13.3 million.
In conjunction with this press release, Orion has posted supplemental information on its website which further discusses the financial performance of the Company for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2011. The purpose of the supplemental information is to provide further discussion and analysis of the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended 2011. The supplemental information can be found in the Investor Relations section of Orion's Web site at http://investor.oriones.com/events.cfm.
Potential Change in Accounting for Certain Orion Throughput Agreements
We are currently discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm whether GAAP would require us to account for our transactions under our historical Orion Throughput Agreements, or OTAs, as sales-type leases instead of our current accounting treatment of such transactions as operating leases. Our current method of accounting for our OTA transactions defers revenue recognition over the full five year-term of our OTA contracts, only recognizing revenue on a monthly basis as customer payments are due, while our upfront sales, general and administrative expenses related to these OTA contracts are recognized immediately. This is the reason that for several periods we also reported non-GAAP revenues and earnings per share that reflected immediate revenue recognition of such OTA transactions based on the present value of the expected cash flows from such OTA contracts.
If we reach a conclusion that GAAP would require our historical OTA contracts to be accounted for as sales-type leases, we plan to voluntarily submit such determination for confirmation with the Office of the Chief Accountant (OCA) of the Securities and Exchange Commission to ensure that the OCA does not object to our conclusion. While we hope to resolve this issue in the next three to four weeks, there is no assurance that such process could be completed in time to allow for a timely filing of our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K by its due date of June 9, 2011.
If we determine sales-type accounting treatment for our historical OTA contracts is appropriate, we may be required to restate our financial statements for fiscal 2010 (including each fiscal quarter therein) and/or for our first three quarters of fiscal 2011, as well as the currently reported preliminary results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the full fiscal year 2011. In the event of a restatement, such prior financial statements could no longer be relied upon. Generally, any such change in accounting treatment and financial statement restatements is expected to result in:
No impact to cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and overall cash flow.
An increase in GAAP revenue for the full fiscal years 2011 and 2010.
An increase in GAAP net income and earnings per share for the full fiscal year 2011 and a reduction in GAAP net loss and loss per share for the full fiscal year 2010.
Orion will host a conference call on Wednesday, May 18, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern (4:00 p.m. Central/2:00 p.m. Pacific) to discuss details regarding its fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011 performance. Domestic callers may access the earnings conference call by dialing 877-754-5294 (international callers, dial 678-894-3013). Investors and other interested parties may also go to the Investor Relations section of Orion's Web site at http://investor.oriones.com/events.cfm for a live webcast of the conference call. To ensure a timely connection, it is recommended that users register at least 15 minutes prior to the webcast.
Definition and Reconciliation of Contracted Revenues
Orion defines contracted revenues, which is a financial measurement not recognized under GAAP, as contracted revenue from firm customer purchase orders received, including both purchase orders payable immediately in cash and for potential future revenues expected to be realized under firm OTAs and discounted potential future revenues under PPAs. These contracts are expected to be paid by the Company's customers over the life of the OTAs and solar PPAs. For OTA and cash contracted revenues, Orion generally expects that it will begin to recognize GAAP revenue under the terms of the agreements within 90 days from the firm contract date. For PPA contracted revenues, Orion generally expects that it will begin to recognize GAAP revenue under the terms of the PPAs within 180 days from the firm contract date. Orion believes that total contracted revenues are a key financial metric for evaluating and measuring the Company's performance because the measure is an indicator of the Company's success in its customers' adoption and acceptance of the Company's energy products and services as it measures firm contracted revenue value, regardless of the contract's cash or deferred financing structure and the related different GAAP revenue recognition treatment.
Orion's management uses the foregoing non-GAAP financial measurement to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning, budgeting, forecasting and business management purposes. Accordingly, Orion believes it is useful for its investors to review, as applicable, information that both includes and excludes the expected future revenue from its OTAs and PPAs in order to assess the relative performance of Orion's business. Management includes within the Company's reported contracted revenues the impact of the future potential gross revenue from OTAs and the discounted future potential revenue from PPAs because management believes that these adjustments reflect the increasing shift of customer purchasing decisions from cash purchases to the Company's OTA and PPA product purchase financing solution. A schedule that reconciles the Company's GAAP revenue and Non-GAAP contracted revenue is set forth below. Investors are encouraged to review this reconciliation to ensure that they have a thorough understanding of the reported non-GAAP financial measures and their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
In Orion's earnings releases, conference calls, slide presentations and/or webcasts, it may use or discuss non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure used or discussed and a reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure are included in this press release below. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and, therefore, should not be used to compare the Company's performance to that of other companies. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. The additional non-GAAP financial information presented below should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
Included below is a reconciliation of contracted revenues to revenues recognized under GAAP for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2011 (in millions).
Three months ended Twelve months ended
Total contracted revenues $ 29.0 $ 103.9
Change in backlog (1) 0.8 (4.6 )
Contracted revenue from OTAs and PPAs (2)

Revenue — GAAP basis
(1) Change in backlog reflects the (increase) or decrease in cash orders at the end of the respective period where product delivery or service performance has not yet occurred. GAAP revenue will be recognized when the performance conditions have been satisfied, typically within 90 days from the end of the period.
(2) Contracted revenues from OTAs and PPAs are subtracted to reconcile the GAAP revenue as recognition of GAAP revenue will occur in future periods.
