The Market for Good News: Introducing the Butter Side Up Theory
By Lloyd Khaner and Nick Smart Mar 07, 2013 12:15 pm
Numerous examples of lessons learned and value gained from crises of the recent past.
Did you ever drop a piece of toast and hope that it landed butter side up? We have. If toast lands dry side down you pick it up, five second rule, check for schmutz, and start eating. Butter Side Up means crises averted.
A Butter Side Up landing also allows you to improve your toast with a little jam or honey. So dropping the toast offers a moment to appreciate the food you are about to eat and think about how to make it better. It's right out of the silver linings playbook.
We see the many crises listed above as dropped toast, and the resulting positive real world outcomes already occuring as the Butter Side Up. We are in the market for good news, and have found numerous examples of lessons learned and value gained from crises of the recent past. We're like a guidance counselor with the "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" poster hanging on his wall.
Here's an example of our way of thinking. The other day in Siberia, the sky literally fell. A meteor weighing more than the Eifel Tower entered earth's atmosphere, blew out a whole town's windows, and gave the rest of us one more reason to despair. If the fiscal crisis doesn't get us, a random chunk of star-fall will.
Fortunately for the citizens of Chelyabinsk, nobody was killed. And in the days that followed, the Butter Side Up reports came in. A group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have long sought capital for the development of instruments capable of predicting impending meteor strikes believes they will finally get traction. Estimates of the fair value for chunks of meteor dug from the snow by enterprising Chelybinskians reached 40 times the price of gold.
Ok? That's our model. Bad stuff happens in predictable and unpredictable ways. When it does, we, the big collective we, face the choice of shrieking over another example of our impending doom (wait, did the Mayan calendar run out or not?), or learning from mistakes and profiting from losses. Let's look at three troubled areas of American enterprise in which the toast is landing Butter Side Up.
The Toast – The Stock Market Flash Crash May 6, 2010
The BSU – The "MIDAS" Touch Has Arrived
No one would ever shop at a market where racks of merchandise were being knocked over and thrown around by a group of rowdy customers. Imagine if those customers had their own price guns and were manipulating the environment so a few people could profit from the chaos.
In our opinion, this is precisely what happened on May 6, 2010 when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:DJI) dove 998.5 points or 9.0%. The majority of the fortune-crushing decline happened in a seven-minute time period from 2:40 p.m. to 2:47 p.m. – The Flash Crash.
The Flash Crash was the last straw for a retail investor who had endured the dot-com bust and the 2008 crash. People lost faith in the fairness of the market and got out, taking financial services jobs and bonuses down with them. Fortunately, while the toast landed hard, it did land Butter Side Up.
"MIDAS" is here to protect us. MIDAS (Market Information Data Analytics System) is a software system that tracks and short-circuits high-speed and irregular trading before it gets out of control. Since MIDAS is being designed by former high frequency traders, naysayers are sounding the "fox guarding the hen house" alarm. Cynicism is deserved. But a valuable history lesson lurks here.
In 1934, amidst the ruins of the stock market crash, the SEC was created. Its first Chairman, Joseph P. Kennedy a.k.a. President John F. Kennedy's pop, was widely known as one of the savviest traders of his day. Simply put, he was the 1920s equivalent of a highly successful, high frequency trader. Kennedy knew all the angles and used his extensive knowledge of markets to help stabilize them. Here we are again.
There is no guarantee that the SEC's MIDAS touch will be perfectly golden. In time, the uptick rule or a transaction tax may be put in place to calm or slow the financial markets. But, for now, The Cavalry -- industry parlance for the US government -- has arrived and is already bringing fairness back to the markets.
The Toast – Housing Bubble Burst 2008
The BSU – A House Is a Home Again
The mortgage crisis is a whole loaf of dropped toast. Blame for this economy-crashing debacle is plentiful enough to spread around. But there is also enough jelly, as recent housing numbers tell us, to sweeten the pieces that landed Butter Side Up.
Need we look back on the mess that kept on messing? In the name of learning from our mistakes, let's do it.
Remember these weird ideas? We tried to fight the bursting of one bubble (dot-com), with the inflating of another (housing). Our government abetted this bubble-blowing bonanza by fostering the post-9/11 attitude that consuming without concern for consequences was not only possible, but downright patriotic.
Fannie (OTC:FNMA) and Freddie (OTC:FMCC) figured mightily in this exercise in self-deception. Private banks used Fannie and Freddie's Government Sponsored Entity status to make lax loaning practices seem safe and sanctioned, while forcing the publicly traded wonder twins to make mortgages happen at all costs or lose share value. In this deliciously delusional business climate we and our bankers shook hands over interest-only adjustable rate mortgages, the late Bear Sterns 100% loan-to-value offerings, and a host of less spectacularly stupid but still pretty stupid arrangements. And when the toast fell, we revealed that our fingers had been crossed behind our backs.
Lenders promptly parceled the dubious debt they held into asset-backed instruments that became the nails in our economy's coffin, and many so-called homeowners dishonored the terms of their mortgages by walking away from promises to pay that would cost them more money than they were worth. Think of trying to eat a piece of toast under water. That's what kind of mess we made.
The miracle of this madness is that we seem to have learned something from it.
The housing market is reviving. Corresponding economic activity (garden gnome sales, lemonade stand starts, picket fence futures) is heating up. Many of us now seem to understand that our homes are our castles, not our ATMs, and certainly not our poker chips. A new sobriety attends the ways in which homes are being built and financed. Conventional wisdom seems to have acquired the understanding that housing is a market, and markets go both up and down.
Raw data and new attitudes give us reason to believe. Foreclosure activity is leveling off. So are short sales. The National Association of Realtors reports that total home sales are up 9% from January 2012, with conventional sales likely rising 20% or more. Vanilla home buying, and building, is coming back in style. That's really tasty news.
But it's also good that not every bank is loaning and not every family is buying. Qualifying for a mortgage has been ridiculously hard since the crash. Some banks still won't make even the ironclad loan. But increasingly some will. This diversity of attitudes is a temperature regulator. A return of rampant speculation accompanying attractively low levels of inventory would signal another meltdown. But it's not happening. Lenders are being cautious, and renting is acquiring new social and economic legitimacy. The NHBA notes that multi-family construction is the first part of its business to regain vitality.
This all sounds like the American capitalism we learned about in high school. Banks are loaning money to people who demonstrate the ability and integrity to pay it back. Houses are being treated as places to live, not bets to make and hedge.
Maybe the housing climate will become so friendly that landlords and tenants will begin inviting each other over for tea, and toast.
The Toast – The Hanging Chad Presidential Election of 2000
The BSU – Voter Responsibility Rising
The belief that elected officials can only fail is a rare example of bipartisan, multicultural, gender-neutral thinking. And here's the really bad news about our gridlocked, bought-and-sold politicians: We voted for them.
That's also the good news. Americans have preserved healthy interest in elections despite all the dropped pieces of legislative and executive toast. Have you heard that widespread fraud and/or naked vote suppression, the Citizen's United decision, or a wicked hanging-chad hangover has ruined our appetite for election day? Not so.
Each of the last three elections has seen greater voter participation in the contests held between 1972 and 2000. Millennials in particular get a bad rap in some quarters but do their duty on Election Day in proportions significantly greater than Gen X did when we were kids. The percentage of youthful voters in 2012 (about 52) was basically unchanged from '08.
So much for the sour grapey prediction that teen election spirit was a one-time thing. It's the same story with those long lines and confusing ballots that were going to keep people-especially senior citizens-from bothering. Somehow people made it through the maze and withstood the wait.
Even if we aren't in a mood to celebrate our leaders, we still have faith in our system. To what end? The Butter Side of that view is that we have instructed our government not to veer too far toward either the left or the right. Have you ever been driving on an icy road and needed to correct your direction? If so, you know what happens when you rip the wheel too hard. We're betting that the new crop of leaders begins to take our guidance. And if they don't, hopefully the next batch will.
OK, sometimes bad begets bad, toast falls, the butter side hits the floor, and the result just can't be stomached. We accept that. We don't accept that it happens every time.
Sure, America is currently stuck in crisis mode. But the notion that all is lost grows more factually incorrect every day. The next big event in the US might not be a destructive one. It might be positive, a success. And when a fresh crisis does descend, we'll know to check the toast to see if it landed Butter Side Up.

Twelve years after "Deadwood" left the airwaves, HBO has announced that its Emmy-winning western series will return as a TV movie in 2019. Production began this week for the telefilm that's set a decade after the events of the show's original 1870s timeline. So which cast members are returning for the "Deadwood" movie and which new star has been announced? Click through our photo gallery above for all the f***ing details.
Of course, what would "Deadwood" be without foul-mouthed Al Swearengen (played by Ian McShane) and anti-hero Seth Bullock (portrayed by Timothy Olyphant)? The actors' on-screen rivalry gave viewers some of the best moments in the show's three-season history, including their knock-down drag-out fight that resulted in criminal and sheriff toppling over the balcony and onto the muddy thoroughfare. Both leading men are back for the TV movie, and they've also been promoted to executive producers.
SEE Gerald McRaney on potential 'Deadwood' movie: I will 'drop whatever' to work with David Milch again [EXCLUSIVE VIDEO]
McShane earned an Emmy nomination for his role in 2005, but was snubbed thereafter. He did, however, prevail at the Golden Globes in 2005, saying at the podium, "This show is great. I'd like to thank the extraordinary group of people I work with led by Timothy Olyphant, my friend and fellow actor. The cast, the extraordinary writing or David Milch, who made it all possible. It's a great character. In fact, it's the best gig I've ever had." Milch serves as the writer of the new telefilm while Daniel Minahan will direct.
Besides McShane and Olyphant, the other 10 returning actors are Molly Parker (Alma Ellsworth), Paula Malcomson (Trixie), John Hawkes (Sol Star), Anna Gunn (Martha Bullock), Dayton Callie (Charlie Utter), Brad Dourif (Doc Cochran), Robin Weigert ("Calamity" Jane Canary), William Sanderson (E.B. Farnum), Kim Dickens (Joanie Stubbs) and Gerald McRaney (George Hearst). The one new cast member is Jade Pettyjohn (Caroline), who stars alongside Nicole Kidman in the upcoming film "Destroyer."

Marina Aliverti Colucci, painter and fashion designer, and Mita Crosetti, journalist of art and custom, have teamed up 2 years ago to create a line of jewellery called MitaMarinaMilano. They concept this new line of geometric jewellery exquisite small sculptures in pink gold, silver, ebanon and palladium.
The idea for this collaboration came to these long standing friends, visiting galleries and art show, which led them to achieve a common desire: to wear jewellery with a strong artistic "content", but still affordable, like small prêt-a-porter sculptures.
Their intention is specific: to create jewellery which attains the status of art, while being playful at the same time. An over size piece can be worn alone, or two pieces of contrasting shape and colour can be worn in combination, to adorn a glamorous outfit.
They present these prismatic jewels at a Milanese cote', which mixed social stage and the world of ideas and creativity, in a sun-filled showroom above Via Montenapoleone. On the walls Marina's canvasses, a mosaic of black and white photographs of nudes and sculptures over which is scribbled "On fait des folies a tout ages".
Suede trays are full of minimalist pieces – all about form and volumes – "an expression of creative order in our chaotic times". The look is strong and architectural so no wonder Zaha Hadid is a fan. The idea was to make jewels that you could wear on the metro or on the bus. In Mita's words, the philosopher of the duo, "what's useful must be truly and entirely useful, whatever is not useful must be of extraordinary beauty"
VIA: MitaMarinaMilano.

I just read an article about The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories (Karen M. Douglas, Robbie M. Sutton, and Aleksandra Cichocka), and I had been thinking about blogging on the philosophy and logic of conspiracy theories. The only place where I agree with this article is on this point Our analysis suggests that conspiracy theories may satisfy some epistemic motives at the expense of othersfor example, by shielding beliefs from uncertainty while being less likely to be accurate. The epistemic
Humans have been accused of having damaged the Earth in some ways, but the major alterations that humans have made to the Earth have been largely ignored, while trouble and noise has been put into climate, which is a perfectly natural thing, and while it is normal and natural for rivers to change courses, it isnt natural for them to run on the high ground while a lower course is immediately available.
People have been altering rivers to suit them for more than six thousand years.
For some reason I started thinking about the Guelphs and Ghibellines, Tories, Know Nothings, Northern Leagues, and various other names that political parties have chosen. While some of the names were intended to show what the party was about, the stance of the party on issues and political preferences tend to evolve over time; thus the name might cease to be appropriate. And some of the names are just words that were applied to a political group.
Perhaps the most interesting terms

Benefits of Music in Child Development
Singing and music play an important role in our culture. We find music present in many aspects of our lives: theater, television, movies, worship, holidays, celebrations, and ceremonies. At home, music can become part of our family culture – a natural part of our everyday experiences. From birth, parents instinctively use music to calm and soothe children, to express their love and joy, and to engage and interact. Parents can build on these natural instincts by learning how music can impact child development, improve social skills, and benefit kids of all ages.

It's just raspberries man!
I write this, hopefully, as the first official review of a Just Raspberries, LLC jam after receiving their Commercial Processing License. Receipt of which allows them to sell their great products to Maryland and the rest of the world.
Just Raspberries CEO and Unexpected Farmgirl, Erika Forsythe, has been making raspberry jam for a year now. They just don't make any old raspberry jam, Just Raspberries is an artisanal jam. Erika offers an assortment of flavors, pairing raspberries with other ingredients spanning balsamic vinegar to hot habaneros. When I discovered that Erika was curating raspberry jam flavors at her home a year ago, my curiosity was peaked because I have an affinity for the stuff.
You see, I am a jam snob. Grape jelly is too pedestrian for my PB&J, and many jellies are clumpy which produce an unsophisticated mouth feel. Smuckers is good, but when I really want jam, I'll choose Bonne Maman Preserves over Polaner products. Most supermarket jellies and jams are either too sweet, too thick, or flavorless. After sampling a few flavors in her Salisbury home, I became an instant fan. Just Raspberries grows their own raspberries on the Maryland Eastern Shore and began making jam after observing how great their raspberries were turning out. Part chemist, part farm girl she told me how she started jamming, "I started making jam once my business became an LLC in 2015 and I discovered that the raspberries I grow on our farm are an exceptional ingredient for creating artisan jam with distinctive flavors." Since that time in the Forsythe's Salisbury home, I have become a beta taster for Just Raspberries and had the privilege of sampling Raspberry Balsamic, Tarragon, and Hot Habanero jams. All winners, and all delicious.
A couple of weeks ago, her son delivered her latest craft to me, Raspberry Sunshine, with a hand written note requesting, "let me know how it tastes." I kept the stuff hidden for a week. You see, my 7 year old can eat a whole jar of the stuff in one sitting. So it sat idle, buried in the pantry, unopened. On Facebook, "how come you haven't opened it yet?" she asked. I responded, "because once I eat it, I won't have it anymore."
Dear reader, if you're looking for a bright start in the morning, it needs to start with Raspberry Sunshine. Raspberry Sunshine is bright, tangy, and sweet all at once. The ingredients on the label states: sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, but in reality it includes high spirits, happy thoughts, and a productive day. Sunshine plays a delightful note on the tongue when eaten by itself. You know the raspberries are there, but the lemon zest and juice provide a balance to the sweetness of the raspberries and sugar that cuts the overall feel on your tongue. Supermarket jams are heavy handed with pectin and can leave a coating on your tongue. Sunshine only leaves its flavor behind. I'm not a child, and therefore I decided to not spoon out the whole jar. I ate Sunshine breakfast style on toast and a bagel.
Standard whole wheat bread was toasted at medium burn and I paired Sunshine with Kerrygold salted butter. A high quality product like Raspberry Sunshine deserves a high quality butter. For the bagel, I spread the jam on top of whipped Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
When I get Kerrygold, I prefer the salted version, and the creaminess of the butter meshed perfectly with the zesty sweetness of Raspberry Sunshine. The flavors just worked! Raspberries already possess a degree of tartness, but the sugar and citrus add a degree of brightness you can't taste in many places. For something simple, like butter and jam on toast, you'd think you're having breakfast with the queen if Raspberry Sunshine is on your table.
Like many people, I prefer cream cheese on my bagel. Here's where a little and a little go a long way. I've paired Just Raspberries' jam with brie and other cheeses, but cream cheese was a first. Cream cheese has a fairly delicate flavor, and isn't earthy like an artisanal cheese. It would be easy to over power the cheese and create one of those ungodly fruit mixtures you can buy from the supermarket. Sunshine really shows its versatility here. It doesn't overwhelm other flavors. It chooses to complement and delight. Here again the creaminess of the cream cheese comes through while the jam enhances the experience. The pairing hits the right parts of the tongue and is wonderful. I have had those mixtures of raspberry syrup and cream cheese, and there is no comparison to the flavor Sunshine adds to cream cheese. Panera needs to be offering Raspberry Sunshine and Philadelphia Cream Cheese for its Cinnamon Crunch Bagel!
Raspberry Sunshine truly delivers. If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you should start it this way.
Just Raspberries plans to launch their online store in the summer of 2016.

Police are appealing for information after a suspected road rage incident between two elderly men resulted in death.
A 73-year-old man was taken to hospital on 15 September after being involved in an altercation with a 67-year-old man on Shenley Lane, in the Northfield area of Birmingham.
West Midlands Police said the 73-year-old was driving his blue Peugeot 307 when a red Hyundai i20 starting travelling alongside him.
Both men then pulled over and got out of their vehicles and became involved in an argument which resulted in the 73-year-old hitting his head on the curb.
He was taken to hospital with a serious head injury and died 12 days later. The driver of the red Hyundai was arrested and is helping police with their inquiries.
Police are now appealing for witnesses to establish how the man came by his injuries.
Detective Constable Emma Safe said: "We are investigating whether the two drivers had been driving in an erratic or aggressive manner further up Shenley Road, at the junction of Meadow Brook Road.
"I would urge anyone who saw either the confrontation on Loftus Road, or anything involving the two vehicles before that, to call us on 101."
Alternatively, anyone with information can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Oakland, CA – A electrifying start for the Raiders. On the first play from scrimmage Terrelle Pryor ran 93-yards for the touchdown. It was the longest run by a quarterback in NFL history and the longest run from scrimmage in Oakland Raiders history. No better way than to come off a bye than with a win.
Oakland beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-18 for the first time since 2002. The Raiders rushed for 182 yards in the first half and established a good lead behind Pryor's heroic run and Darren McFadden's two touchdowns. The defense took over the remainder of the game.
"We wanted to get into the game [and] We wanted to give Terrelle a chance to get in the flow of the game," said Head Coach Dennis Allen. "He did a great job of making the right read and when you execute the play and you read it out properly, you have a chance to get explosive plays. I'm glad he was able to run for 93 yards. That's pretty fast."
"When I gashed out I was like alright, he has to block [Troy] Polamau. I was saying that in my head, like Polamau has to get blocked," said Pryor. "When I was coming around the corner I saw Ryan Clark flying over with Darren on the fake so….I'm going straight up the middle and going to the house. [Rod] Streater did a good job of not holding or anything, no penalty, and it was a great play."
Terrelle surpassed history, Kordell Stewart rushed for an 80-yard touchdown with the Steelers on December 22, 1996 against the Carolina Panthers. One of his best assets is his ability to run the ball and today he proved that setting the momentum high. McFadden also provided some action to the offense as well rushing for two touchdowns of 7 and 4 yards.
"Being able to see a guy go 93 yards, not many people can do that," Darren said. "Being able to see him go 93 yards just makes you very happy and you know you have a great quarterback back there."
Oakland dominated in the first half with a 21-3 lead heading into halftime. Pittsburgh had one field goal for 47-yards by Shaun Suisham before the half. Suisham later missed two field goals from 34 and 32 yards. Ben Roesthlisberger was sacked a total of five times and struggled to find open receivers.
"It's no secret the impact my missed field goals had on the game," Shaun said. "We would have won the game if we made my field goals. It's a tough one to swallow, no choice but to do it. I should have been better today and we lost because of it."
"We allowed them to control and dictate the flow of the game and how we started really in all three phases," head coach Mike Tomlin said. "The first 30 minutes of football were poor on our part."
It was in the second half that the Raiders defense took over. Jacoby Ford fumbled setting up the Steelers first opportunity for a touchdown in the fourth. Roethlisberger found Emmanuel Sanders for a 9-yard pass. That cut Oakland's lead 21-10. Later in the quarter, Le'Veon Bell's 2-yard touchdown followed by a 2-point conversion put the Steelers right back in this game with 1:24 left in regulation.
"It was good for everyone's confidence," said Khalif Barnes. "Coming back [after] we haven't played ball in a long time it was just good to come out and strike first and strike fast because the Steelers are a good team."
Unfortunately for Pittsburgh time ran out in rallying a comeback. The Raiders did a good job in forcing Ben to throw two interceptions in the fourth. With less than a minute remaining Oakland recovered the onside kick and time ran out to end the game. Surprisingly, the Raiders won the game despite gaining one first down and 35 yards on offense during the entire second half.
"We've been able to put some wins together and played some really good defensive games," Charles Woodson said. "I think the guys on this defense and the coaches will still go back and say 'hey, how can we eliminate the touchdowns?' If we can do that we're talking about even being better."

Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura will make another rehab start Monday for Class AAA Omaha
Right-hander Yordano Ventura will make another rehab start for Class AAA Omaha on Monday night, Royals manager Ned Yost said before Saturday night's game against the Minnesota Twins.
"Finger felt good. No issues," Yost said. "So he'll do another rehab start on Monday, and we'll evaluate it and see where we're at."
Yost's comments came on the heels of Ventura's 30-pitch side session in the Royals bullpen under the watch of pitching coach Dave Eiland before Friday night's 3-2 10-inning win over Minnesota.
Ventura has been dealing with ulnar nerve irritation in his throwing elbow, which caused him to lose feeling in three of his fingers.
After his bullpen session Friday, Ventura said he felt good and threw without any pain.
Cain hot on Fourth
Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain continued his rampant run production on Independence Day. Cain drove in a pair on a single to left in the fifth inning for his 35th and 36th RBIs of the season.
Cain now has eight RBIs on his last three Fourth of July's. In 2013, he hit a grand slam. Last season, he drove in two runs with a double.
▪ The Royals have also had successful Independence Days. Although the loss dropped them to 26-20 on the holiday, they came into the day with the third best winning percentage (.578) of all major-league teams on July 4.
Only the Nationals (.635) and the Diamondbacks (.588) entered Saturday with more success on the Fourth of July.
Big day for Mauer
Joe Mauer had a season-high four hits on Saturday, going four for five, including a two-run home run in the first inning that gave the Twins a lead they would not surrender.
Mauer is now hitting .365 (65-178) against pitchers on the Royals' active roster.
"I've been feeling pretty good lately, the last couple of weeks. Tonight, I had something to show for it," Mauer said. "I felt good at the plate tonight. Hopefully it carries over into tomorrow.
On his home run, Mauer said that being ahead 2-0 in the count allowed him to look for something to drive out over the middle of the plate.
"I was looking for something middle-in and drive it to the right side of the field," Mauer said.
Mauer came into Saturday night's game a .323 lifetime hitter against the Royals, with 12 home runs and 103 RBIs.
"It's a great ballpark," Mauer said of Kauffman Stadium. "For whatever reason I enjoy hitting here."
Extra inning for Finnegan
Left-hander Brandon Finnegan pitched a scoreless 1-2-3 sixth inning in relief of Joe Blanton, and Yost left him in for the seventh.
Finnegan gave up a leadoff single to the switch-hitting Dean Santana. Two batters later, with Finnegan still in for a lefty-on-lefty matchup, Mauer shot a single into right field on a hit-and-run, allowing Santana to advance to third. He scored on a Torii Hunter sacrifice fly.
The run proved to be the game's final score and a key insurance run for the Twins.
Although Kelvin Herrera was ready to go in the Royals' bullpen, Yost said he was going to let Finnegan face Mauer anyway.
"We were probably gonna get Herrera even if he got Mauer out to try and keep that game right there at one," Yost said.

Banba the basking shark's amazing 3,000-mile journey leaves experts open-mouthed
Gentle giant tagged off Ireland travels to coast of Africa
An incredible 3,000-mile journey by a basking shark has forced scientists to rethink their theories on the rare species.
Until now, it was thought that basking sharks were only found in temperate waters, but when a five-metre female — named Banba and tagged off Malin Head — was found to have travelled to the western coast of Africa, near Senegal, it turned the idea on its head.
It was the first time scientists had been able to discover where the huge fish travels to in winter when food is scarce in waters here.
Banba was one of five basking sharks tagged as part of the Monster Munch Basking Shark Community Awareness Project, run by the Irish Basking Shark Study Group with Inishowen Development Partnership and Queen's University Belfast.
She was tagged with a satellite transmitter in July when she was feeding on plankton and the tag popped off on December 13 west of the Cape Verde Islands — 3,000 miles from the north coast of Ireland.
Until now, most tagged sharks have only travelled one or two hundred miles offshore onto the continental shelf edge in winter, returning to coastal waters in the summer — so Banba's odyssey to Africa's warm tropical waters had scientists scratching their heads.
Basking shark researcher Emmett Johnston said: "Up until now there have been lots of different theories put forward about the sharks and one was that they hibernated over the winter because there wasn't enough food in the waters around the north Atlantic.
"Other people said they went offshore and they have been tracked offshore in the winter.
"But we have been theorising that they head further south to where the food is, like the larger whales from this area."
There had been signs in the past that basking sharks travel further than previously believed.
Dr Simon Berrow, a co-founder of the study group, had been tagging sharks off Malin Head when he noticed that many carried a parasite called pannella. This creature is often recorded on whales and dolphins that have travelled through tropical waters.
Another mystery is the kind of food that the basking sharks are consuming.
"It is mainly a type of plankton, insects that are in the sea, but that is not found down there in the tropical waters.
"It is a very different kind of habitat — it is akin to finding a polar bear in the desert," said Mr Johnston.
"It is in stark contrast to the type of waters that they are associated with.''
Basking sharks were once hunted off the coast of Ireland, but are now classed as endangered in the North Atlantic.
A slow moving and generally harmless filter feeder, it is the second biggest fish in the world, after the whale shark. In Irish waters they live on plankton.
The basking shark can weigh even more than an African elephant and may grow to more than 11 metres in length.

Google Release Web Designer Tool
Google have just released an all new tool out of the blue - like they usually do. They're simply calling it Web Designer.
The Google Web Designer tool is an app for Windows and Mac that allows you to create websites visually - you do also get access to code of course.
I've just briefly used the app on my Mac and there is definitely a little bit of a learning curve. But it seems easy enough for the average user. You can actually use it to make fully fledged websites.
Oddly Google are marketing it as a product to help you make HTML5 ads that animate. But they may actually have a broader aim - to be a competitor to the very similar Adobe Edge Reflow, Macaw and WebFlow.
The future of web design and web development may be in products like this where design is at the forefront instead of the code.
Google Web Designer is free to download right now and is in BETA - as with many Google products. Now that Google are in this race, they may actually produce something fantastic.

Friends and Family,
Sometimes Genevieve and I fly down to San Diego to see my oncologist, and we are full of optimism. Sure, there's plenty of "scanxiety" mixed in because there is so much at stake, but, deep down, we get a good feeling that everything is going to go well. Other times, not so much. This was one of those other times.
Dire Straits said it best in their song: Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAqSwUbw_v0. Before I got these last scan results, I definitely felt like the bug.
I have a cough that had been getting progressively worse for the last seven weeks. It got so bad that I was embarrassing myself at the movies. I could just stick to movies like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and other nonstop action movies so that people don't hear me cough, but that doesn't solve the problem, does it? Even Genevieve was admitting that she was getting worried about my cough. Genevieve's sharing this is actually really good news as far as I am concerned, because now I can share my worries with her, and she won't deny that there is something to worry about. I won't feel so alone with my fears. That is a really big thing for me. There is a place for affirmations, but there also needs to be a place to accept whatever feelings come up.
That doesn't mean that we have to live in fear, but it's OK to visit it once in a while. I've learned that I'm strong enough to let the fear in, and to know that it won't overwhelm me. Eventually, the fear gets bored and leaves. Fighting fear sucks up a lot of energy, and only makes it grow stronger. If I don't fight it, then the fear flows in and out, just like the tide. Each time I let it in, I am able to handle it a little bit better.
A side effect of having cancer is that any minor symptom, that people without cancer wouldn't even think twice about, could be a symptom of something more risky for me. If I have a headache for three days in a row, I wonder if the cancer has metastasized to my brain. If my back gets sore, I wonder if the cancer in my spine is spreading. And if I have a cough, it's hard not to imagine that the cancer is taking over my lungs. When that cough keeps getting worse… Well, then. Bug, meet windshield.
It turns out that this time it WAS a bug. More specifically, it was a cold symptom that wouldn't go away all this time. My CT scans showed no growth of the cancer again! Genevieve and I went from elation, to exhaustion, and then back to elation again. Woohoo!
And after all of that, we went back to gratitude. I am grateful that the Tagrisso / AZD9291 is still working. I'm grateful that the clinical trial for the next clinical trial drug that could help me, EGF816, will be available through clinical trial at UCSD, though I don't know the timing yet. And I am grateful for your love and support, which is surely keeping me alive.
I'm also grateful that, at least this time, I'm still the windshield.
*** A Special Request***
I'm participating in an event to raise money to fight lung cancer - and I need your help!
I'm planning to attend LUNGevity Foundation's National HOPE Summit in Washington, DC, in May - it's a special conference just for lung cancer survivors like me.

Once a woman starts to menstruate and is sexually active, then the birth control pill is a good way of preventing pregnancy. However, as you get older and particularly towards the 35 – 40 year old age group, is the birth control pill still safe to use? It can be a long gap between 35 and hitting menopause, which is the time when birth control starts to not be so necessary. But what should you do if your age is causing you to worry when you take the pill?
Do I risk a heart attack?
Research has shown that more women in the 35 – 40 year old age bracket are now more prone to heart attacks but they are not sure why. It could of course be due to things such as over-eating, lack of exercise or smoking too much, and not necessarily be because of taking the pill. It may not be necessary for you to cease using it just because you fall into this age group.
What about other health risks?
The birth control pill normally contains a mix of hormones and some doctors believe it could actually act as a protection against ovarian/uterine cancer. As for breast cancer, it is not really known whether the pill exacerbates the chance of getting this or not. It is possible the birth control pill may push cholesterol levels up as well as blood pressure, but research in this area is still very vague.
I am 35 soon. Should I give up the pill?
If you are in your mid 30's, early 40's then it is a good idea to check with your doctor as to whether or not you should continue with the pill or not. However, the good news is that if you are healthy, do not smoke and look after your health, it is likely that your doctor will support you taking the pill until you hit 50 and start to see signs of the menopause.
But what if I am not in good health?
When your doctor carries out your consultation, he will look at your overall health before recommending the pill. He will ask you questions about the following:
- Do you smoke?
- Are you overweight?
- Do you have a problem with high blood pressure?
- Are you diabetic?
- Are your cholesterol levels high?
- Do you suffer from migraine?
If it looks as if the birth control pill is not suitable, he will discuss it with you and look at the best way of moving forward. You may need to make changes to your lifestyle or examine alternative methods of contraception.

A film adaptation of playwright William Luce's "Barrymore" that depicts actor John Barrymore as he prepares for a revival of his 1920 Broadway triumph in "Richard III." The year is 1942 and Barrymore is far past his prime. It appears he has booked the theater simply to perform alone, while he drinks and reminisces about his family and the profession of acting. Meanwhile, a stage manager stands in the wings, prompting Barrymore with Shakespeare's dialogue, but the actor appears to be otherwise distracted. Christopher Plummer's Tony Award-winning tour de force is now a new motion picture. Presented by New York-based alternative content distributors BY Experience and Executive Producers Steve Kalafer and Peter LeDonne.

The toxic algae problems that Lake Erie and Grand Lake St. Marys face are mirrored in lakes in Florida, China and New Zealand. A group of international algae experts said yesterday that there are no quick or easy solutions to clear algae from lake water. In the case of Grand Lake St. Marys, it could take decades.
The toxic algae problems that Lake Erie and Grand Lake St. Marys face are mirrored in lakes in Florida, China and New Zealand.
A group of international algae experts said yesterday that there are no quick or easy solutions to clear algae from lake water. In the case of Grand Lake St. Marys, it could take decades.
� Restoring a system like that isn�t going to happen tomorrow,� said Harry Gibbons, a senior limnologist with Seattle-based Tetra Tech.
Gibbons spoke about the western Ohio lake�s blue-green algae woes at the EcoSummit 2012 conference at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
Grand Lake St. Marys was included with China�s Lake Taihu, Florida�s Lake Okeechobee and New Zealand�s Lake Rotorua, all of which suffer from summertime �blooms� of toxic blue-green algae.
The algae, also called cyanobacteria, are common in most lakes but grow thick feeding on phosphorus from manure, fertilizers and sewage that rains wash into nearby streams. They can produce as many as four liver and nerve toxins that can sicken people and kill pets.
In 2010, a liver toxin was so concentrated in Grand Lake St. Marys that the state warned people not to touch the water. Last year in Lake Erie, a record bloom of algae stretched from Toledo to Cleveland.
In 2007, algae in Lake Taihu in China grew so dense that the problem overwhelmed city drinking-water-treatment systems and green-stained water came out of faucets in thousands of homes.
Efforts to fight the Lake Taihu algae include tracking the phosphorus to its sources � sewage plants and farms � and a new forecasting system to warn cities when a new bloom might form, said Hans Paerl, a University of North Carolina professor of Marine and Environmental Sciences.
At Lake Rotorua in New Zealand, decades of growth in the dairy industry increasingly polluted the water with cow manure and urine, said David Hamilton, a researcher with the University of Waikato in New Zealand.
Although the sources of this pollution could be reduced, researchers warned that in many cases, there is enough phosphorus and nitrogen in the lake sediment to feed new blooms for decades.
For example, even if 90?percent of the phosphorus that drains into Lake Okeechobee each year from nearby citrus orchards and farms is eliminated, it would take 22 years to exhaust the supply of phosphorus already there, Paerl said.
If 80 percent of the phosphorus that drains into Grand Lake were cut, it still would take 20 to 40 years to clear the water, Gibbons said.
Scott Nally, director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, attended the talk yesterday and said that the state is committed to a long-term solution at Grand Lake. �You�ve got to have the fortitude,� he said.
The state has created restrictions for farmers in the Grand Lake St. Marys area and has paid for treatments to reduce phosphorus in the water.
Milt Miller, director of the Grand Lake St. Marys Restoration Commission, said his group is looking to shorten the lake�s recovery time by dredging as much lake sediment as possible.
�We have been very aggressive in going after more and more dredging,� he said. �We just got a permit to restore 90 acres of wetland using silt dredged from the bottom of the lake.�

Pet Society: What's your longest break?
- The hotel's Internet failed
- I was too busy touring the city and having fun in the real world
After I returned home, I didn't log into the game for other reasons:
- I was too tired from jetlag
- I realized that Pet Society isn't as addictive as I'd thought
That last reason has come as a real surprise to me. Some people, including tech writer Michael Arrington, has claimed that games are like cigarettes. I used to think he was right, but now I can say that's not the case at all, at least not for me.
While I was in London, one of the Playfish staffers asked me if I was attached to my pet. I said, yes, I actually do feel affection for Sushi, and I start to miss him if I don't log in every day. I like seeing his cute little expressions and hearing the cheerful Pet Society music. But that was more than 10 days ago. This is the longest break I've ever taken from the game, and the truth is, I haven't really missed Sushi or Pet Society.
That's not to say that I'm quitting the game. Just a few minutes of logging in today reminded me of how much I enjoy seeing Sushi and his little friends. Maybe I'm just feeling Pet Society fatigue, but I've been playing this game since November 2008. In terms of pet age, that makes Sushi a great-great-great grandfather. And perhaps it's time for him to consider retirement... or at least take things slowly for a while.
Have you taken a break from Pet Society? What was the longest time you went without seeing your pet? Were you anxious to get back into the game? Or were you OK with the break?

Annually, below the auspices of The Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership and Ethics, The Benjamin Botwinick Prizes in Enterprise Ethics and Moral Observe are awarded to an individual or consultant of a business group exemplifying the very best customary of skilled and ethical conduct, as well as moral resolution making in any of the professions, including, but not restricted to, accounting, advertising, structure, health care, journalism, regulation, public service and social service. He addresses tips on how to handle business ethics violations and supplies a guidelines of things for employees to guage if something is ethical. One is that social problems, together with poverty and environmental degradation, are sometimes worse within the growing world than within the developed world. Likewise, it is an vital step in minimizing returns and protecting business goodwill, which could have a tangible impact on the success or in any other case of a enterprise. In 1982 the primary single-authored books in the field appeared: Richard De George, Enterprise Ethics; and Manuel G. Velasquez, Business Ethics: Ideas and Cases. The U. S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the first piece of laws to assist bounce begin the enterprise ethics movement.
A enterprise cannot be any kind of ethical than the individuals who run it and who work for it. People take their selections or actions regarding the behaviors which might be acceptable based mostly on how they see the corporate's leaders acting and the behaviors that they see being rewarded of their friends.
An organizational ethics coverage is an announcement to the employees, the client base and the neighborhood as an entire that the business is ready to conduct itself and its practices on an ethical stage. Our views about the extent of the MNC's responsibility might depend upon whether or not the problematic practices exist within the MNC's own factories or in those of its suppliers.
Enterprise ethics as a movement refers to the improvement of buildings inner to the corporation that assist it and its workers act ethically, versus buildings that present incentives to act unethically. Koehn, D. & B. Wilbratte, 2012, A Protection of the Thomistic Idea of the Simply Price", Enterprise Ethics Quarterly, 22(three): 501-526. Normative ethics is also distinct from descriptive ethics, as the latter is an empirical investigation of people's ethical beliefs. Though it's hardly ever the acutely aware intent of a business to harm the general public curiosity, actuality dictates that the businesses capacity to increase profits will determine its success.
In general, the European method to enterprise ethics has placed more emphasis on economics and on social structures, with much less emphasis on the actions of corporations as such, than the U. S. approach does. Enterprise ethics reflects the philosophy of enterprise , of which one goal is to find out the basic functions of an organization. Often reporting to the Chief Govt Officer, ethics officers give attention to uncovering or preventing unethical and illegal actions.

|Neural tube defects in Wales: changing demographics from 1998 to 2009.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22149474 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objective. To establish if there is evidence for the perceived increase in the number of live births with a Neural tube defect (NTD) in South Wales from 1998 to 2009. Methods. Data was obtained from the Congenital Abnormalities Register Information Services (CARIS), which recorded 305 cases of pregnancies involving neural tube defects. Descriptive analysis was carried out for each year in this period to obtain the number of live births, the proportion of live births compared to NTD pregnancies, plus the number and the percentage terminated each year. Results. From the 305 cases, 66 resulted in live births, 230 in terminations. There was an increase in live births from 13.8% in 1998 to 33.3% in 2009, and a decrease in terminations from 82.76% in 1998 to 62.50% in 2009. The data also showed that this increase occurred mainly in the South of Wales. Discussion. Over this time period, there has been a decrease in the number of pregnancies affected by a neural tube defect and a decline in the proportion of pregnancies with neural tube defects resulting in terminations. Consequently, there has been an increase in the number of live births. The reasons for this change in trend is unclear, it may be that prospective parents are more willing to proceed with the pregnancy due to better support and services and the improved prognosis for children with neural tube defects. Conclusion. This data clearly shows that the number of children born with a NTD is increasing, and if this trend persists, services will have to expand and adapt to the change in the demographic of this population.

Sighs are considered by scientists at the University of Leuven in Belgium to be the human body's natural way of resetting its respiratory system. People have been known to sigh for other reasons, however, like when they are tired, bored or stressed.
Scientists at the University of Leuven in Belgium hypothesize that the lungs become stiff and less efficient when a person's rhythm of breathing becomes too common. Because of this, the lungs actually begin to deteriorate. Sighing increases the air volume in the lungs by about twice the amount of oxygen that is typically inhaled. The scientists at the university think this is the body's way of stretching the lungs back out so they become more efficient again.
The process of respiration follows a chaotic pattern based upon many internal and external factors. For instance, when people are stressed out, it is very common for people to have very shallow, uneven breath. This can be unhealthy for the body. When people sigh, however, the air sacs in their lungs relax as they take in a deep breath. This provides a sense of relief, which is why people sigh. When someone is tired, the same explanation is very likely. A study published in the Journal of Biological Psychology found that the noise someone makes when they sigh has a relaxing effect on them. Even people on breathing machines have been found to have more relaxed states when their machine was given "sigh breaths."

Happy Friday everyone! Our exciting weekend is going to consist of painting the woodwork in our newly painted grey hallway. Is anybody surprised we went with grey?! We've gone for a light grey on the walls, as the hallway is quite narrow and dark, but we're going to paint some of the woodwork a dark grey. All will be revealed in time, but until then check out some of the grey hallway inspiration that helping us stay motivated.
I love how calming the grey and white are combined with that beautiful natural floor.
Image from Jurnal De Design Interior.
This is probably a bit grander and sophisicated than our hallway – but I love the dark frames on that curved wall!
Image from Hometalk.
Again love the grey walls with the frames! Think we'll be going for a different option on the staircase though.
Image from Remodelista.
I've had this image pinned forever – it's amazing what difference art can make in a small space.

Does it seem like Cape League All-Stars are getting called up to the majors faster than usual?
On Thursday, Gordon Beckham (Y-D '07) started his first major league game for the Chicago White Sox at third base (shortstop Alexei Ramirez has a stronghold on shortstop). He joins 2nd baseman Chris Getz (Chatham '03-'04) in the infield.
In his first game on June 4th, Beckham went 0 for 3, with a strikeout and reached base on a fielder's choice. Tonight, he's also 0 for 3, in what appears will be a loss to the Indians.

I'm more than 3 weeks in now, and have already saved hundreds of dollars, since I was used to buying breakfast ($5+), lunch ($10+), and dinner ($15+) out every single day. Believe me when I tell you that ANYONE can do this, and the savings alone makes it worthwhile. But there are plenty of additional benefits like added nutritional value (this is amazing for dieters), less urge to snack since you know what and when your next meal is coming, and the satisfaction of both learning new recipes and taking pride in everything you put into your body. I am a meal planning believer!
I've been scouting Etsy for some cute printables that will help me in my meal planning endeavors, and I've displayed a few of my faves below. I may eventually DIY something of my own, but wanted to share for those of you who aren't graphic designers!

Sweet Cucumber, Red Onion & Dill Salad (Eat Yourself Skinny)
Clean Egg & Zucchini Muffins (Eat Yourself Skinny)

How to Purchase Cheap Adjustable Dumbbells

Adjustable dumbbells are vital for any home workout, but that doesn't mean they have to be expensive. Simply purchase the ones that are right for you!
1Determine your workout goals.
- Are you looking to pack on muscle or tone your muscles? Or both? This goes hand in hand.
2Decide how much weight, with your adjustable dumbbells, that you'll be needing.
- Generally speaking, there are 2 types of adjustable dumbbell sets to purchase. Some that range from 5 to 25 lbs. While others range from 5 to 50+ lbs. The later of the 2 would be ideal for packing on muscle, WITH effective exercises.
3Know how many dumbbells you will be needing.
- Often times, you can purchase your adjustable dumbbells as singles or pairs. Will you be needing more than one?
4Know how much you are willing to pay.
- Simply put, the price is largely reflected by how much weight you purchase. So if you purchase double the weight, expect to pay double the price.
5Do your research before buying the dumbbells.
- Check out reviews on popular e-commerce sites like Amazon. After all, those users were in and are in the same boat as you.
6Research the best price.
- Never pay more than need be. While you may think buying from an online vendor may be expensive with the shipping included, it's not. A great place to find a pair of adjustable dumbbells in your local area is Craigslist.

- Make sure to check out adjustable dumbbell reviews. Doing this is always a good idea.
- For a quality pair of adjustable dumbbells, expect to pay right around $300.00 for a new set.
- Safety is important, so don't waste your time and money on a cheaper alternative.
- If you need a pair for a home workout system like P90X, it is advisable that you purchase solely the twist-lock dumbbells. You'll be spending more time changing the weights than working out!
- Adjustable dumbbells are not the answer for building muscle fast; you need to incorporate a great workout routine to build muscle.
- Some adjustable dumbbells are delicate. When using them, make sure that you do not hit them hard on the ground or they may get damaged.

Sike. We don't have a staff.
We're a community that practices shared authority. Here are some ways that you can participate in our community:
Sunday Gathering
We gather together every Sunday morning at 10AM to sing, pray, and open the Scripture together. The gathering is casual. We have children's groups that learn the stories of Scripture and show them how Jesus saturates the entire Bible. Bring your family and come meet with us!
Shared Meals
Sometimes we get together and break bread. It's glorious fun. Want the deets? Ask one of your friends at C3 or check your email for weekly updates.
Feed People
When the opportunity arises, our families get together to feed people at shelters, church buildings, or straight in the streets of Portsmouth. This is sometimes the main meal of the week for this underserved community. Help us cook up good grub and fill some bellies!
Frequently Asked Questions:
- What kind of a church is this? Well, first of all, we're not 'a church'. We're 'The Church'. But–in all seriousness, we're firm believers that 'The Church' isn't defined by a religious organization, but rather includes all of Christ's followers. That means us. That means you. That means your crazy aunt Martha and it also means the homeless guy just down the street. We prefer to think of ourselves as a community of people who are simply pursuing Christ together.
- How do I become a part of C3? The answer is simple. Become friends with somebody here. We want you to make human connections that, well, make you more human–the kind of humanity that God intended for you. You won't find membership classes or any kind of real process here. Just come hang out with us and we'll let the Spirit take care of the rest.
- Are my kids welcome? Pshh. Pshhhh. The kids almost outnumber the adults here. We are dedicated to making your family comfortable at all of our gatherings and opportunities for service. Our families take turns spending time with the kids each week–from little babies to teens–so don't expect to drop them off in a formal nursery. But they will learn the stories of Scripture and how Jesus saturates the entire Bible. Our philosophy is that when kids play, it's an expression of Christ's love and abundance in our lives–and we cherish every moment of it.
- Where are you located? As we were thinking about where to set our roots as a church community, we asked, "Where would Jesus go in Hampton Roads?" The answer came quickly and we set up shop in Portsmouth, VA. Portsmouth is one of the most poverty-stricken and crime-ridden cities in Southeastern Virginia, and Jesus cares deeply for it. In the spring of 2011 we were able to begin our Sunday gatherings at the Effingham Family YMCA. Christ Community provides many opportunities to gather with each other on a weekly basis so that we can grow in unity with Jesus and one another.

"Barolo Castiglione is a gorgeous, radiant wine. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, wild flowers and spices all meld together in a sensual, radiant wine endowed with striking presence and intensity. In 2012, the Castiglione is especially lifted, radiant and expressive, with striking purity and nuance. With time in the glass, the wine freshens up considerably, so aeration is a good idea for readers who want to open the 2012 early. This is a striking, seriously delicious Barolo from Vietti".

Say hello to Prince William and Kate Middleton's son!
On Monday, Apr. 23, Kensington Palace announced Kate was in early labor with her third child. Born later that morning, weighing 8 lbs., 7 oz., the world got its first look at the newborn baby when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took him outside for a photo op on the clinic's steps.
Ever the fashion icon, Kate looked chic as ever in a red dress with a lace collar.
Before the little prince was formally introduced, William left the hospital to pick up his elder children. As he got into his awaiting car, he assured the media he would be "back in a minute." He returned with Prince George and Princess Charlotte—the latter of whom smiled and waved to photographers. George was dressed in his school uniform, while Charlotte wore a blue dress.
According to a source, George's classmates (and their parents) were asked not to reveal that Kate had welcomed a boy; William wanted to share the news himself when he picked him up.
