Will Alcoa cast a pall on earnings season?
The aluminum giant's earnings, due Monday and expected to be weak, may cause investors to forget about signs of a strengthening economy. JPMorgan Chase and Lennar also report. Worries about Europe and Iran won't go away.
There was good news on manufacturing and decent news on auto sales. The services sector of the economy showed some buoyancy. There was weak news from Europe, and worries about oil prices if Iran were to try to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Retailers' holiday sales offered some cheer and some jeers.
On the surface, investors seemed to shrug the worries off. The stock market moved higher for the week, but the finish on Friday was disappointing after the jobs report.
The week ahead offers some more potential stumbling blocks: earnings from Alcoa (AA), Lennar (LEN) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM); the Federal Reserve's Beige Book report on the economy; and continued worries from Europe.
The weekly gains weren't bad: The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) were up 1.2%, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) up 1.6% and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) up 2.7%.
Article continues below.
Those were better results than in 2011's opening week, although not as good as the start for 2010, when the Dow rose 1.8%, with the S&P 500 up 2.7% and the Nasdaq up 2.1%.
But fear was a part of the market this past week as well. Gold (-GC) finished the week up 3.2% to $1,616.80 an ounce. Silver (-SI) added 2.8%. Crude oil (-CL) in New York moved up 2.8% to $101.56 a barrel.
The national average price of gasoline moved up 2.5% to $3.352 a gallon, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report, leaving motorists to wonder if they'll be smacked around by prices again this year. Iran may well determine the answer.
Every sneeze in Europe was felt in the U.S. markets. The euro fell 1.5% against the dollar during the week. It dropped 3.2% against the dollar in 2011.

Alcoa kicks off earnings season -- for better or worse
Alcoa, one of the 30 Dow stocks since 1959, reports fourth-quarter earnings after Monday's close. They won't be pretty. The question is whether they will be so awful as to depress the entire stock market.
The consensus estimate is for a loss of 2 cents a share on revenue of $5.74 billion, compared with earnings of 28 cents and revenue of $5.65 billion a year ago.
The stock fell 43.8% in 2011, although it jumped 5.9% this week. The company announced Thursday it's permanently shutting down its smelter in Blount County, Tenn., near Knoxville, and facilities elsewhere to reduce its capacity by some 17%. Alcoa started the Tennessee operations in 1919. The smelter has been idle since 2009.
Alcoa's problem is that there is way too much aluminum capacity globally, and it is a high-cost producer of a product whose manufacturing process requires huge amounts of electricity. The metal settled at $2,039 a ton in London trading on Friday, down 25% since May.
It is a considered a bellwether stock because its products are used in cars, planes, construction and other areas. So, a critical question investors will ask isn't so much about prices but about how Alcoa views global demand, especially in Europe and China.
Lennar: Is there life in housing?
Also due in the coming week is homebuilder Lennar with earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter, which ended in November. The important question is how the builder sees demand, especially in troubled markets like Florida, Nevada, Arizona and California.
The company's fiscal-third-quarter earnings slumped 31% as it delivered fewer homes than a year earlier. But orders climbed and Lennar said it expects a profitable fourth quarter. It recently bought 650 finished lots in the Seattle and Portland, Ore., markets.
Analysts expect 4 cents a share in earnings, unchanged from a year ago, on revenue of $909 million, up slightly from a year ago. Revenue for the fiscal year is expected at $3.06 billion. That's down 81% from its peak in 2006.
JPMorgan: Can the colossus deliver?
JPMorgan Chase's results, due before Friday's open, will be watched closely. One of the most profitable banking companies, it has exposure to Europe and Asia.
It has become a huge domestic lender, with big mortgage and credit card businesses.
Investors will be watching its guidance in a regulatory environment that's become much stricter in recent years, causing CEO Jamie Dimon to loudly criticize Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, President Obama and others.
The stock fell 22% in 2011 but was up 6.4% this week.
The economy, foreign and domestic
It's a busy week for economic events, although there's nothing as closely watched as Friday's jobs report. Here's a rundown:
Sarkozy and Merkel meet Monday. France's President Nicolas Sarkozy will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin for talks likely to center on new rules to enforce budget discipline across the European Union. The leaders are anxious to flesh out a plan agreed at a December summit by all EU members except Britain for a new treaty to forge closer fiscal integration, as Europe battles to stem a sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone. More meetings among the 27 nations will be held later this month.
Consumer credit, due Monday from the Federal Reserve. This is watched as a signal of consumer confidence.
French industrial production, due Tuesday. This should enlighten investors about the health of Europe.
The Federal Reserve's Beige Book report, due Wednesday. This is a narrative look at the domestic economy and may identify some markets where housing is starting to make a comeback.
U.S. retail sales for December, due Thursday from the Commerce Department. Look for small gains, despite all those reports about big Christmas sales.
Initial jobless claims, due Thursday. It's good news if it is below 400,000. But the reports that come during the holidays can be volatile.
Bond auctions in Italy, due Thursday. If they went as badly as France's auction this week, look for markets to react badly.
Interest-rate decisions from the Bank of England and European Central Bank, Thursday before U.S. markets open. These may offer an idea of how both will combat weakening economies in Europe.
University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey for early January, due Friday. This should show some optimism.
Lastly, here's a calendar of when the Dow components and other important stocks will report. It's not complete. Check MSN Money's earnings calendar for more. For the calendar of U.S. economic reports, check here.

Initial jobless claims, due Thursday. It's good news if it is below 400,000. But the reports that come during the holidays can be volatile.
Charlie...the holiday reports aren't "volatile"...they're misrepresented due to holiday seasonal part-time jobs, some unemployed workers losing their benefits and dropping off the census or others just giving up looking for a job etc. Anyone with intelligence knows that government reported numbers are usually made up, manipulated, misrepresented, lies etc. and are done so to benefit certain organizations and to make things appear better than they are. What would happen if the government came out and revised the unemployment numbers from say 9% or whatever it supposedly is and said after reviewing all the facts the unemployment rate nationally is really closer to 15% and in some cities/towns and amongst certain groups it's even higher?
Mirage I agree that Companies such as Alcoa are "harbingers" of an Economy's health, but also believe they have to have orders to increase production...
Alcoa has a much larger field of competition then they had 20 years ago..
You compete or you don't play. We had investments in these type of Companies until 3-4 years ago. Still do have some.
They are cyclical as Active pointed out, along with you, BUT as far as "hoarding", yes for more reasons then one; Some are trying to "buy or outwit" the competition. Others are saving for more "rainy days." And what "I think is maybe a more prevalent and hidden agenda" is to possibly scare their workers in to working more for less'", increasing production at a lower cost.
Keeping that in mind, many workers are going back "into the workforce, expecting less."
Less pay,less benefits,longer hours,no pensions,no 401K matches.
When workers get "scared enough...they cave" to connect this to any heavy political motivation or dis-motivation appears only to me as a long drawn out smokescreen.....
Albeit,what better time then during a deep recession.
And if you were to completely deny this; It would only harden my opinion.
Fat Cat. I do not see any suggestions from you, all I see is empty rhetoric. Over the last several years the majority of corporate financial reports, with the exception of a few all say the same thing. Their profits are up, but their sales are down. Their profits have gone up as they shed workers, automate lines, outsource contracts, and reduce salaries while at the same time their overall sales continue to go down. Where does it end? From where I come from you cannot expect to continue on this type of downward spiral, and expect to have a strong and vibrant business because you are and will continue to run out of customers as everyone else copies the same corporate protocol. The current philosophy practiced by Wall Street and the corporations is akin to a junkie seeking his short term fix while continuing on down the same long term destructive path. The true bottom line is that it takes decently paid employees to purchase products, and that without decently paid employees and many of them at that, you will continue to see a shrinking pool of consumers. THE Henry Ford said and then did this: Hire as many employees as you can, and pay them as much as you can. Henry Ford became one the richest and most powerful men in the world following this business principle. It is really just basic economic math in a supply and demand economy. There can be no demand if no one can purchase anything other than food.
And as for your adult and mature commie statement. Corporate America sure does not mind moving to communist China, now does it ,while they drape themselves in the flag.
ActiverRIA, where we disagree is that the government SPENDING money has to be removed from the economy, after all where do they get the money? They can borrow it, thus causing a huge negative growth factor on the economy, they can PRINT it, thus causing a huge tax on savings and thus a negative drag on the economy, or they can raise TAXES, also a huge drain on the economy. The net effect of government spending is to slam on the brakes on the economy. This has happened everytime you have had a Keynesian Stimulus attempt. The economy recovers eventually, but not until the cost of bad government policy has been overcome.
Government SPENDING is not the answer, it is the problem. Using your solution why not confiscate all income and have the government spend the money for us? Sorry but your solution will cause MORE pain... AND HAS...
Comrade ActiveRIA, we know you and your man crush on '57 States' already has decided your vote.
Simpson - Bowles report ASSUMES a 5-6% growth rate. When was the last time we saw that?
Also Simpson Bowles does not come close to the cuts needed. The proposal is just to cut 10 Trillion over ten years, which would return us to W level deficits, and then RAISE TAXES to try to cover the shortfall. Please note it also makes the assumption that there would be ZERO new spending over ten years.
I could support much of S/B. I could even support the new taxes after 2 years opf the spending reductions. But, as usual, I suspect the tax increases will show up, and the spending cuts will not. Past history shows this is the case when dealing with Congress.
How about we pass the balance budget amendment NOW, Slash spending 1 Trillion Now, and then raise taxes 50 Billion a year over 10 years? Lets reverse the process. Have the spending cuts up front and the democrat tax increases over 10 years...
If you have never lost money in investing....You've never really had any fun in life.
Kinda like jumping to a spring fed mountain lake....Most only do it once, then you learn.
My objectivity is diversify as much as possible or that is affordable...
The most unfortunate mistake that many investors make...Not diversifying and lack of research.
Even if they have FAs and Brokers, they should have some knowledge of their investments.
And listen closely when one of these trusted advisors give them advice.
First they have their livelihoods at stake and the ability to make or break their futures.
Never be afraid to seek additional help,research or change brokers if neccessary....
Secondly my mantra is to explore a take some risk, even if you are an older investor like myself.
Many times their are better returns on higher risk investments,but you had be prepared to lose also.
I've came to the point in life, that I realize..; It is very difficult to hit a home run, everytime you step to the plate.....Sometimes you just strike out. The "best" have done it many times.
Some may have trouble understanding certain methods, BUT
My game plan the last several years, is to get 70-85% winners on an overall cash basis.
That makes us winners every year....Well, accept 2008...But, we still beat most of the "Best."
The sooner most investors get a "game plan" the better off they are in the retirement years of their lives...My only regret or wish, would have been to have started 10 years earlier then I/we did.
And we were able to retire about 10-12 years before most people do.
And you don't have to be a millionaire.....
Guess, maybe I should have read all of Charley's article about Alcoa...Maybe it might(?) have given me more insight....BUT the facts still remain, only a little vaguer? AND........
I still see in Alcoa, as being more susceptible to the global trends, very similiar to what use to be called the American or U.S. steel industry.
And the last time I checked gasoline was 2.76 a gallon without taxes... If it's $4 by you, you probably live in a Democrat controlled state. You get what you VOTE for...
Remember Obama has a solution. Go buy a Government Motors electric car. He wants $5 gasoline to help fund this. If you voted for Obama, you really cannot complain.
On Friday, when the gubment came out with their 8.5% unemployment number, the markets essentially said, "hey Obama, you're lying your a$$ off".
The market numbers, as well as many of the commentators who've reflected the same sentiment bear that out. The number is a manipulated fantasy, and anyone with even a little objective observation will see that.
The kool-aid drinkers, on the other hand, will cheer as if there is no tomorrow. But even they know it's a lie. They just don't care that it's a lie, since that would interfere with their agenda.

my mother isn't quite the cook she used to be anymore due to fixing most things now to go in accordance with her own personal health concerns like high blood pressure and such, so i cook a lot of basics much better than she does now... not to mention the fact that i totally PWN her with fish. but she gots the soups and sauces from the beyond.
i can make most of the mexican fare in my sleep, but i just can't whip her with something like Albondigas or Cocido... it's just f***ing experience.
and her New Year's black eye peas are the BOMB!
interesting side note to this... my mom, a Mexican, was NEVER able to make a better pot of frijoles de la olla than my father did... and he was German.

Applesuace cake with peanut butter frosting. The cake was a recipe from her mom, and her sisters made it as well, but the frosting was her own. Most of the friends I had growing up, were because of that cake. Unfortunately, the frosting recipe died with her, and I have yet to duplicate it.
Wasn't thinking of anything specific
Like in a dream, when someone wakes up and screams
Nothing too very scientific
Just thinking of a series of dreams
Though my Mom tried cooking a well-balanced meal almost every night when we were growing up (with varying degrees of success, but for which I'm forever grateful and have thanked her on many occasions), she was most renowned for her weekend baking. Easily the most exacting, meticulous, and well-organized person I've ever known, she is naturally suited for the precision required. Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, brownies, biscuits, always all scratch of course and picture perfect every time. I was the official beater-licker, and a damn good one too.
But.... if I have to choose one thing.... it's the pies. I'm ruined forever by homemade pies. I can't believe the kind of sticky, sickly sweet, cardboard-crusted **** restaurants try and pass off for pie. We had Strawberries and big Apricot and Peach trees in our yard, and my grandparents had an orchard where they grew damn near everything, so it was seasonal fruit pies all year round. Mom's crust was the best most flaky you could imagine, with plump, superripe organic berries of all sorts, apples, peaches, bananas, apricots, lemon meringue, etc. Never too sweet, but always just right. On pie days my sis and I would stand impatiently by in the kitchen waiting to scarf down the leftover oddly shaped strips of crust being lightly broiled with cinnamon and sugar til just caramelized. If nostalgia has a smell, that is it for me.
But alas she is not a perfect creature. Of our least favorite dishes of hers, one was affectionately known as "s**t on a shingle" (chipped beef on toast--we loved it, dad hated it), and "dog food in a cloud" (ground beef mixed into mashed potatoes. This one dad loved, but I still gag at the mention).

My main is actually a healer, but i also have a tank and dpser @ 80
No cc doesnt bother me at all then again i been playing this game for 4 years now and all i am use to seeing is every pull being CC
CC can still be used but most tanks have too much pride too use it as well as grps put a lot of pressure for no CC's to be used after all if the grp wipes it's not the dpsers fault it is either the Tanks or the healers, at least in every instance I have done that seems to be the case. Tank dies he was either under geared or the healer sucks.
I think the no cc being used put more stress on the healers than anyone else

Jonathan Jaxson, the man who claimed to be Kim Kardashian's former publicist, took to his Twitter on Wednesday night, expressing suicidal thoughts over his legal troubles with Kim.
According to RadarOnline, the Florida-based publicist wrote:
"These chest pains worry me...all as I sit here looking at a bottle of round objects. It is too much anymore and tonight I was bullied!" and, "I feel like going to a better place then [sic] here on Earth right now. One is trying to destroy my life and I won't ever win ... Suicide I would never promote, but it is me against money and elite and I will never ever ever win."
Reports surfaced Friday that Kim Kardashian needed additional security while filming Tyler Perry's "The Marriage Counselor" in Atlanta, after she reportedly received death and kidnapping threats. Kim's rep denied the rumor, saying "there is no truth to it."
Kardashian, who finished shooting over the weekend, returned home to a frenzy of paparazzi following her every move at LAX.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Great Car. by Mike on 10/04/2004. Trim: 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The performance and handling are superb as you would expect. What stands out for me are the ergonomics. It fits and everything is where you expect it to be.
Cons: Fit and finish could be of higher caliber, no Homelink and a small inadequate single cup holder. In general, some details are not what they should be for a $50,000 world class sports car.
Overall review: Fantastic automobile. It gives one a great feeling of confidence. I am not as good a driver as this car makes me feel like.

From: Issue 40
Eye Spy, Robots Don't Lie
In our increasingly navel-gazing society, humans could use an extra set of eyes to monitor the deteriorating world around us
There are seven billion people on the planet, meaning there are now up to 14 billion eyeballs capable of monitoring the state of our shared environment and the life-improving infrastructure – water, energy and communications – we have come to depend on.
These days, those eyes are more likely to be glued on iPhone, computer and television screens than on the natural or built environment around them, particularly remote areas that populations tend to avoid – or forget about. But just as technology is capturing our collective attention span, it is also watching our backs, and raising red flags when natural systems and critical infrastructure face threats or are showing signs of stress.
Robots, some the result of original engineering and others inspired by nature, are snooping around our oceans and forests, crawling along hydro lines and gas pipelines, and even posing as bugs and birds as they sniff out chemicals in the air. Many are designed to operate autonomously on an inexhaustible supply of renewable energy.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University refer to such machines as "data mules" for their ability to work tirelessly in challenging situations, "giving scientists the capability to collect high fidelity data over large geographic regions and extended periods."
Silicon Valley firm Liquid Robotics has taken that robot advantage to our oceans. The company makes a self-propelled, fully autonomous marine research drone that scours the oceans collecting scientific data with solar-powered sensors. Called the Wave Glider, it is the first marine robot to use energy from ocean waves to propel itself without fuel.
"Most people have been trained to try to harness waves for electricity generation, and that turns out to be really, really hard," said James Gosling, chief software architect at Liquid Robotics. "But getting thrust? That's worked out well for us."
Each Wave Glider comes in two parts. The first floats on the wavy surface of the water and looks like a surfboard covered in solar panels. It is connected by a six-metre "umbilical" cord to a multi-winged device below called a glider.
The motion of the waves causes the board to bob up and down in the water – movement that is mimicked below by the glider. The wings and fin on the glider are designed in such a way that the up and down movement is translated into forward thrust. Navigation can be controlled remotely or pre-programmed into the robot.
As Gosling said, it works well – so well that four Wave Gliders captured a Guinness World Record in March when they each travelled 6,000 kilometres across the Pacific Ocean on a meandering journey from the shoreline of San Francisco to Hawaii. And they're still moving. Two are on route to Japan and two to Australia, with plans to complete their 16,700-km voyage by early 2013.
The sensors on the robots will collect and wirelessly transmit an unprecedented amount of detailed information about ocean conditions, including ocean temperature, wave height, weather conditions, water quality and chemistry. These and others will shed light on the impacts of global climate change and pollution.
There are other approaches. Researchers at Michigan State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Essex in the United Kingdom are each working on their own designs of battery-powered robots that mimic the movement of fish. Each is equipped with sensors that can detect oil slicks, measure water quality and do underwater environmental reconnaissance.
"Autonomously exploring and investigating a harbour, the fish can work together to monitor and track down sources of pollution," said Luke Speller, who leads a pan-European project called SHOAL that has several of the robots monitoring a Spanish port.
On land, there's also no shortage of innovation taking place. Sensor-equipped robots, moving around on tracks and cables, are expected to be used to track biodiversity, assess biochemical cycles and take note of unusual environmental changes in American forests as part of the ambitious $500-million National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON).

Unleashed on the Earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young man, Jack (Nicholas Hoult) into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend - and gets the chance to become a legend himself.
From the director of Chocolat and the Oscar-winning® screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire comes the inspirational comedy Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. When Britain's leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realize a sheikh's (Amr Waked) vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister's overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a "good will" story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.

Veterans face higher risks of alcohol and substance
abuse than other people, according to a new SAMHSA Web
cast, "Recovery and the Military: Treating Veterans
and Their Families."
The second in a series of nine Road to Recovery
2006 Web casts to be developed by SAMHSA's Center
for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), the hour-long program
offers information about preventing, identifying, and
treating alcohol and substance abuse problems in veterans
and their families.
In this series, a new Web cast premiers the first Wednesday
of each month and is available for viewing anytime after
that. The Web casts are part of the year-round activities
leading up to National Alcohol and Drug Addiction
Recovery Month in September.
In addition to CSAT Director H. Westley Clark, M.D.,
J.D., M.P.H., the panel discussion features Patricia
B. Getty, Ph.D., Supervisory Public Health Advisor at
SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention; Richard
T. Suchinsky, M.D., Associate Chief Consultant for Addictive
Disorders at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA); Ezekial Pankey, Followup Counselor and Case Manager
at the Maryland Center for Veterans Education and Training;
treatment providers; and veterans themselves. Associate
Director for Consumer Affairs Ivette Torres of CSAT hosts
the program.
Soldiers exposed to combat "see things that most
people don't witness, such as colleagues getting wounded
or killed," explains Dr. Clark, noting that soldiers
also are isolated from their family, friends, and communities.
Once they're back home, veterans may begin using alcohol
or drugs as a way of handling anxiety, depression, or
post-traumatic stress disorder.
These attempts at self-medication can spiral out of
control and even lead to domestic violence, divorce,
and homelessness. Spouses and children also are at risk
of substance abuse. Fortunately, the Web cast explains,
help is available for both veterans and their families
through the VA and civilian counseling services and substance
abuse treatment.
To view the Web cast, visit www.recoverymonth.gov/2006/multimedia/w.aspx?ID=470.

Beanie is good looking and all but I bought it as my main beanie for the mountain. The material is kind if thin compared to other beanies. Better for casual wear or a sunny day on the mountain. Or if you get hot easy while riding and don't need warm beanie

Expandable Shoes a Stretch?
A new shoe expands with kids' feet--and so does the price tag.
Kids seem to grow everyday--especially their feet. Instead of buying shoes sizes too big and forcing them to walk wearing giant clown shoes, Inch Worm Shoes are designed to stretch into three different sizes with a push of a button. Nice idea. Not so nice price. The shoes run about 80 bucks. Hey, we're no mathematicians, but we figure we could by our kids three DIFFERENT pairs of shoes for the same price.
What do you think? Great idea, or kick it to the curb?
cool idea but another reason for new shoes is that they get dirty and smelly. I don't want my kid in the same shoes for a year.
The thing with kids shoes is more often than not they wear out before they're outgrown anyways…
These look like a waste of money/gimmick to me.
I do like this idea. My 10 year old went from a 2 to an 8 this school year. I would say, didn't we just buy shoes?
I wouldn't buy these. For one thing they're ugly, for another, I could get my son a lot more than 3 pairs of shoes with $80. My son is only three, & I don't know what their target age is, but they look like a waste of money to me.
I received 1 st credit loans when I was not very old and this helped my family very much. However, I require the sba loan over again.

Yohimbine FAQ
What the heck has happened to this drug (yohimbine) that it is now on a back order for everyone? Did the company have trouble with it, or is it that the Viagra has taken over? Some people cannot take the Viagra because of the heart problems.A: In researching the medication yohimbine, there is not a lot of information as to why the medication is currently unavailable. Some of the drug companies have stopped producing the medication while others have yohimbine on back order. There have been reports of increased heart rate and high blood pressure that were serious. This may be a reason why the medication is not available, but we could not find any information pointing to that conclusion. Your local pharmacy can contact their warehouse to find out if and when the medication will become available so you can have a better idea of what is happening with the medication.

Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle is pushing Huntsville students to read.
Friday morning, he kicked off a new literacy campaign by reading to some young students at Ridgecrest Elementary.
Battle's book club is designed to distribute age-appropriate books to Pre-K through 5th grade students in all of Huntsville Title I schools.
Each year, the students will get four books, helping them build a personal library in their home.
"If we're going to live up to our mantra of Huntsville being a smart place to live, work and play, we've got to work on literacy and we've got to make sure that everybody knows how to read, and we start early," he said. "Let them learn to love reading and make sure you have an educated population."
Statistics show that students from lower income neighborhoods have fewer books than others.
Battle said it's essential to give kids the tools they need to be strong readers.

Cooperative Agreements for State/Community Partnerships to Integrate Services and Supports for Youth and Young Adults 16-25 with Serious Mental Health Conditions
And Their Families
Short Title: Healthy Transitions Initiative
(Initial Announcement)
Request for Applications (RFA) No. SM-09-008
Posting on Grants.gov: March 27, 2009
Receipt date: May 20, 2009
Announcement Type: Initial
Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) No.: 93.243
Application Deadline
Applications are due by May 20, 2009
Intergovernmental Review
Applicants must comply with E.O. 12372 if their State(s) participates. Review process recommendations from the State Single Point of Contact (SPOC) are due no later than 60 days after application deadline.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services, is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2009 for Cooperative Agreements for State/Community Partnerships to Integrate Services and Supports for Youth and Young Adults 16-25 with Serious Mental Health Conditions, and Their Families (Healthy Transitions Initiative). Young people with serious mental health conditions, particularly those involved with the public mental health system, often face a more difficult transition to adulthood and the successful assumption of adult roles and responsibilities compared to their peers with or without other disabilities. The Healthy Transitions Initiative will create developmentally-appropriate and effective youth-guided local systems of care to improve outcomes for youth and young adults with serious mental health conditions in areas such as education, employment, housing, mental health and co-occurring disorders, and decrease contacts with the juvenile and criminal justice system. These local systems will be linked and integrated at the State/tribal/territorial levels in order to effect policy change and replication Statewide.
Failure to adequately address the system and service needs of these emerging adults has resulted in an increase in the prevalence of secondary school dropout, under- and unemployment, contacts with the juvenile or criminal justice system, early and unplanned pregnancy, and homelessness. In addition, the risk of poor outcomes in emerging adults with a serious emotional disturbance (SED) or serious mental illness (SMI) is exacerbated by higher rates of co-occurring substance use disorders among the transition age youth population than among any other age group with serious mental health challenges.
The unique service needs of these young adults extend beyond those of children and younger adolescents, and they differ from those of adults. While these youth have ongoing needs for clinical services, they also have significant needs for support services that facilitate independent living and the ability to make wise choices as young adults. Youth who age out of child-serving systems may have difficulty obtaining services in adult systems. They often encounter a reduction or elimination of services when services available to children and adolescents are no longer accessible to them. Support services that assist youth with independent living address needs for housing, employment, education, basic living skills, and social support. Relationships established with trusted providers may be lost when providers specializing in services for children and youth can no longer be used. While these types of services may be available through various organizations in a community, they are generally not available in a coordinated manner. Systems of care that provide this type of coordination are an important and essential source of support for the service needs of these emerging adults. To ensure that systems of care are youth-guided and support youth transition to adulthood, partners from family, youth, and adult consumer organizations or stakeholders must be included in the development of coordinated, quality services and systems of care.
The Healthy Transitions Initiative will award cooperative agreements to States, Tribes and tribal organizations. (For the purpose of this RFA, use of the word "State(s)" throughout this announcement includes the Territories listed in Section III-1, Eligible Applicants.) Applicants are expected to select a locality in which to implement a comprehensive service delivery program that includes a strategic plan for promoting the successful transition to adulthood for youth and young adults with serious mental health conditions. In addition, successful applicants will be expected to develop policies, financial mechanisms and other reforms to improve the integration, efficiency and sustainability of these newly integrated systems of care. The population of focus includes youth and young adults ages 16-25 with a serious emotional disturbance or a serious mental illness. (See Appendix G for definitions of "serious emotional disturbance" and "serious mental illness.")
The Healthy Transitions Initiative is one of SAMHSA's services grant programs. SAMHSA's services grants are designed to address gaps in mental health services and to increase the ability of States, Territories, and American Indian/Alaska Native Tribes and tribal organizations to help specific populations or geographic areas with existing and emerging serious mental health conditions. SAMHSA intends that its services grants result in the delivery of services and collection of baseline data by the 6th month of the project at the latest.
The Healthy Transition Initiative cooperative agreements are authorized under Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290bb–32). This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 18 (Mental Health and Mental Disorders).
Eligible Applicants
Eligible applicants are State governments and federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes and Tribal organizations. Governments of the following Territories are also eligible to apply: Palau, Micronesia, Northern Mariana Islands, Marshall Islands, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam, and American Samoa. Tribal organization means the recognized body of any AI/AN Tribe; any legally established organization of American Indians/Alaska Natives which is controlled, sanctioned, or chartered by such governing body or which is democratically elected by the adult members of the Indian community to be served by such organization and which includes the maximum participation of American Indians/Alaska Natives in all phases of its activities.

#OurDumbSenator staffer can't decide whether or not #OurDumbSenator believes in evolution
#OurDumbSenator is concerned about an "environmental jihad"
Professor of Environmental Studies The guy who said climate change is caused by sunspots, #OurDumbSenator Ron Johnson, got nailed this week for rolling his eyes at science, which led him to double down on absurdity:
This week, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) launched a $2 million ad campaign to get climate change deniers like Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson to accept the science and take action to curb global warming. But before even seeing the ad, Senator Johnson lashed out by calling LCV "an extreme left group on an environmental jihad."

Latest Statements from U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson Show He Needs to Go Back to School on Student Loan Debt Crisis
With the United States Senate preparing to act on legislation reversing the recent doubling of interest rates on federal student loans and enacting a new method of calculating interest rates in the future, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has shared his thoughts on the student loan debt crisis. The following are the statements of One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross in reaction to Johnson's apparent inability to recognize the seriousness of the trillion-dollar student loan debt crisis and the need for comprehensive solutions:
"U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson's recent statements on the $1.2 trillion student loan debt crisis are as offensive as they are ill-informed. Temporarily lowering interest rates on federal student loans doesn't 'once and for all' solve the student loan debt crisis, more profiteering private colleges won't magically stem skyrocketing tuition, and hard-working students and their families shouldn't have to lower their expectations for higher education or a fair shot at the American dream.
"He needs to go back to school on how this crisis is squeezing American families and hurting our economy.
"Students, graduates and their families have done the right thing. They've worked hard and taken on the responsibility for funding the education they need to get ahead. They're not asking for a bailout. But they deserve a system that treats them fairly and doesn't turn their education into a multi-decade debt sentence.
"Our research at One Wisconsin Institute found the average length of student loan debt is nearly 20 years, even for graduates of technical colleges. And that student loan debt is making it harder for families to do things like buy their own home or purchase a new vehicle.
"Student loan debt is the second biggest form of consumer debt in the nation. With tuition continuing to skyrocket and big banks and the federal government making billions in profits on the interest on student loans.
"We need real solutions, not more empty platitudes and ill-informed opinions from Sen. Johnson if we are to resolve this crisis.
"To stop the trillion dollar student loan debt crisis from becoming a two trillion dollar albatross on the American economy we need common sense solutions like allowing people to refinance their student loan, like they can a mortgage, deduct the interest on their student loans from their taxes and limit tuition increases to the rate of inflation."
Given a choice between Fact or Fail, #OurDumbSenator Ron Johnson gets it wrong, Every. Single. Time.

Said federal health care reform is taking health care in the wrong direction
Johnson said federal health care reform is taking health care in the wrong direction. He said health care's ills date to the 1940s, when employers began adding health insurance as an employee benefit and paying for it.
"We began the process of separating the consumer of the process from the payment of the process," he said.

#OurDumbSenator feels like a victim, gets letter from One WI Now
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel post about Sen. Ron Johnson's foray into filmmakery mentions One Wisconsin Now's open letter to #OurDumbSenator. Check it out::
One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross sent the following letter to U.S. Senator Ron Johnson regarding his recently announced "Victims of Government" video series.
March 27, 2013
United States Senator Ron Johnson
386 Russell Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Johnson,
I read with interest the news report of your "Victims of Government" video series. After watching the video associated with your project, produced by your taxpayer funded government office, I am inspired to inquire who else you and your Republican colleagues are so courageously seeking to protect from becoming "victims" of government.
Maybe it is the cancer survivor being victimized by the "excessive regulations" that prohibit an insurance company from denying them insurance coverage for a pre-existing condition?
Is it the student trying to afford a higher education whose freedom to pay higher interest rates on their student loan is being stolen away by government subsidies?
Perhaps it is the senior citizen missing out on the opportunity to pay more for their life-saving prescription drugs that is unfairly oppressed by the heavy hand of government?
Spending your time, and our money, producing YouTube videos doesn't move us one iota closer to solving any of the challenges facing our nation. In fact it seems the real victims of government are your constituents who were counting on you to work for them in the United States Senate.
Scot Ross
Executive Director, One Wisconsin Now
P.S. On behalf of the taxpayers of Wisconsin who pay your salary and for your office, I'm wondering just how much of our money is being spent on your latest inanity?
Sez librul schools haz dumbed down 'Murica since the 1830s
This is what #ourdumbsenator has to say about lernin in 'Murica's schools…
I don't know how many of you saw Dr. Benjamin Carson, but one of the points he made in his phenomenal speech was how, back in the 1800s, the tests they gave sixth graders upon graduation, most college graduates couldn't pass that test anymore. We've purposely dumbed down our population. As a result of that, our population is very susceptible to demagoguery and that's what you're seeing. So what we're facing now in this country is we're facing a president that is basically a demagogue. That's… that's the problem.
Sounds like somebody must have spent a lot of time in school. Ayo!
But seriously folks, Jud Lounsbury at Uppity Wisconsin has more.

Actually Said Violence Against Women Act is Unconstitutional
The [Violence Against Women Act] authorizes $659 million over five years for VAWA programs. It also includes new protections for LGBT and Native American victims of domestic violence. Since VAWA was created in 1994, it has bolstered protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
Constitutional scholar #OurDumbSenator Ron Johnson says it's unconstitutional.

"Doubles Down on Dumb"
via Cognitive Dissidence:
RoJo made sure it was clear that he was in direct competition with Joe McCarthy as being the worst senator in Wisconsin history with this bit of idiocy:
"Let me describe what we're up against as conservatives, as patriots, as people who like freedom, as people who like this country," Johnson said. "We are up against a strategy that is taking place by liberals, progressives, Democrats, whatever they call themselves nowadays, Socialists, Marxists."

Opposed Violence Against Women Act
For the record, the five senators who took an inexplicable stand against a measure to combat human trafficking were Republican Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), and Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.).
As for the final vote on VAWA, all 22 votes against the proposal were Republican men.

*Hearts* Ayn Rand Soooo Much, He Bought a Statue
His affinity for [Tea Party & Satanism icon, Ayn Rand] has literally been set in stone—the former PACUR* CEO helped a friend install a statute of Atlas in Oshkosh, Wis. "There was a big old statue on the side of the road for sale, and it was Atlas," Johnson says. "It had the world, it was obviously the Atlas Shrugged symbol, and he was thinking about buying it and I said, absolutely, I'll pay for half of it."

What does your utopian future look like?
Is your utopia a capitalist or socialist economy? Doyou allow freedom? Is the world you know embrace technology but still in touch with culture and tradition and religion? Are yoir people left brained robots, right brained artist, or both.? Do you have a world federation or an earth confederacy? What is your world like by the year 2150?

Titus WuJun 1 2013: My utopian society has no government at all. Rather, it is a place where there are no cities, no signs of industrialization, no technology, none of what we consider modern at all.
In other words, everybody lives simple and one with nature. One hunts his own food, one harvests his own food, and one makes his own house, weapons, etc. Again, all of this is without technology, such as guns. Rather it is with the resources provided by nature.
Basically, my utopian future is where everybody goes back to being like what Native Americans used to be. I believe that not only will the evil corruption of money and society disappear, an emphasis will also be placed on the concept of the family and of veering away from worldly things.
Perhaps more importantly, humans will regain their sense of connection of nature. One should notice that now, because of our modern society, we ruthlessly kill of nature while taking it for granted. If this kind of utopian society exists, however, one can learn how to appreciate nature more. Perhaps that is the most important aspect of all of this.

AOC's new 52 Series monitor is now available. To kick off the launch of this monitor, the company is offering a $50 discount from August 11 through August 17. With the discount, the monitor will cost $249.99 from select retailers such as TigerDirect, BestBuy.com, Newegg.com and Amazon.com. The e2752Vh is an energy efficient LED monitor that features a two millisecond response time, the ability to display 16.7 million colors, and two built-in 2.5 watt speakers for SRS-quality sound. In addition to an on-screen menu system that lets you adjust display settings, you can also use the iMenu option to change settings using your keyboard and mouse. Other key specifications include a 20,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 300 cd/m² typical brightness, and analog, DVI-D, and HDMI with HDCP inputs.
AOC's 52 Series Monitors Now Available Nationwide – 27-inch HD Monitor is $249 For Limited Time
AOC's highly anticipated e2752Vh, a 27-inch high definition LED monitor ideal for PC gaming and home theater environments, delivers strong image quality, energy efficiency and a 2 ms response time
Fremont, Calif. – Aug. 6, 2012– AOC, the leader in monitor display technology, announces the retail availability of the 52 Series, the largest screened offering in the company's line of ultra-thin, energy efficient LED monitors. The 27-inch widescreen e2752Vh delivers stunningly crisp and impressive image quality, as well as solid performance with a two millisecond response time. The monitor is ideal for multimedia applications and includes two built-in 2.5 watt speakers for SRS-quality sound. The e2752Vh is now available at national retailers including CompUSA and Walmart.com, among others. From August 11 through August 17, the monitor will be available at select retailers including TigerDirect, BestBuy.com, Newegg.com and Amazon.com for $249.99, which is $50 off the MSRP.
"The upcoming promotion on the 52 series is an incredible value in terms of immediate savings and the ongoing benefit of reduced energy consumption," said Robert Velez, AOC Marketing Manager. "The monitor delivers the response time and image quality that power users have come to expect, but it is also great for everyday users who are looking for a cost-effective big-screen monitor for work and entertainment."
The e2752Vh can display 16.7 million colors, while its 2ms response time provides crisp, clear images even in fast action sequences when gaming or watching action films. The monitor is also VESA 100mm wall mount compliant, so that it can be conveniently mounted on the wall to save space. The monitor features a slim and streamlined appearance and offers ergonomic, user-friendly design. The monitor's digital and power connections are rear-facing rather than downward-pointing, providing easy access for direct cable insertion. The display settings can be adjusted via the on-screen menu system, and the iMenu option also allows the user to change settings using only the keyboard and mouse, so that it is not necessary to reach up to the screen to adjust contrast, brightness and other preset modes. Other bonus features include Screen+ software that divides the screen into four self-contained work areas for improved productivity, and an Off Timer that sets an alarm clock to turn off the monitor automatically.
*sigh* And I'm still stuck with my 5 year old Dell 19" monitor.
"You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to
them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new."
That screen would go fantastic with the gaming rig that Hothardware is currently offering as a prize, anyone who is planning on winning aught to take AOC up on their deal. this screen is gorgeous and that price is almost unbeatable when it comes to new moderately sized displays displays.
The Screen+ software mentioned in the somewhat fine print is an interesting idea, Working on a single computer display with multiple screens up besides the regular 2 allowed by windows 7 is appealing to anyone with a need for quick and dynamic page shifts.
Apart from the price there is really nothing amazing about this monitor.
I like that chicken!

(Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc
The move comes as the world's largest retailer remains under fire following a New York Times report in April 2012 that said Wal-Mart had intentionally stifled an early internal probe into allegations that Walmex officials had paid bribes to help build stores in Mexico. Solorzano was the CEO of Walmex in the mid-2000s, when the alleged bribery was said to have taken place.
Ostale had been president and CEO of Walmart Chile, formerly known as D&S, and will take on his new role on March 1, Wal-Mart said. He will be responsible for operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua.

Renault Duster : Special Coverage
Set to take on the Mahindra Scorpio and the Tata Safari, the Renault Duster has been launched in India priced between Rs 7.19 lakh and Rs 11.29 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). While it does dominate in terms of ride quality, handling, and to a certain extend even build quality, it is a size smaller and seats only five as opposed to seven or eight that the others offer. The Duster has been offered with a 1.5 litre DCi diesel engine in different states of tune and a 1.6-litre petrol engine model. For the most comprehensive look at the Duster, be it through our comprehensive photo gallery or our detailed drive report of the soon to be launched Indian spec model, this is where you want to be
