One of our cats passed away suddenly this morning. Henry, our little four-year-old, was so full of life. He just had his checkup last week and everything was fine. Then this morning after breakfast he started coughing and then fell over on his side, gasping for breath. I rushed him to the animal hospital and got their within three minutes of the time he fell down, but he seemed to stop breathing in the car about 30 seconds before we got there. There was nothing they could do for him. That's two of our three cats in the last year and a half. This one was completely unexpected and I still can't believe it happened. He was cuddled up with us in bed at 6:30 this morning and a half hour later he was gone. He was my "best bud." I can't stand it. ex-INTCfan, grieving in Houston

OCPI is having a nice rally going into earnings... I did book a big profit on about 25% of my holdings yesterday. Yet, I'm planning to keep the majority of my shares. IMHO, OCPI will exceed expectations and provide much better forward guidance than most of the optical product firms. This company has NOT warned, has a very low P/E, is executing well, and is positioned in the fast growing metro sector. We can't take anything for granted though...=) Best Regards, Scott
