(FOX 11 / AP) Police and sheriff's detectives are searching at a home in a Los Angeles suburb in the case of a woman who disappeared in 1978.
A Los Angeles County sheriff's statement says its homicide detectives are helping police in Glendora seek clues in the disappearance of Wendy Byron, who went missing 35 years ago at age 24.
News media reports that detectives were digging in the backyard of the home where, and that Byron once lived there.
Byron's husband Rob Byron, who now lives in a different home nearby, tells media outlets he hadn't been told about the search at his former home and didn't know why authorities were looking there.
The sheriff's statement said detectives plan to return to on Thursday morning with a special operations team from the coroner's office.
As far as bugs go, caterpillars are usually pretty tame – except for one.

Stevie Richards joined the VOC Wrestling Nation to promote his upcoming appearance at Legends of the Ring on 10/5/13 in Monroe, NJ, and to talk about his official certification as an instructor for DDP Yoga.
You can hear the entire interview at http://vocnation.com; here are some highlights of what "Big Stevie Cool" had to say:
On becoming a certified DDP Yoga Instructor: It's done me a look of good and in a lot of ways has improved my overall fitness. It lets me help other people, do something very positive and productive, and helps me to monetize something that I'm already doing everyday.
On the benefits of DDP Yoga: You can get cardio without impact, you can raise your heartrate into the exercise zone in a short period of time. I've broken my neck a few times, I've needed knee replacements. Because I've been doing DDP Yoga for the past few years, it's prolonged my wrestling career and led to a healthy life.
On how hard it is for the common person to follow the routine: One you get immersed in the workout, you're going to be hooked and you won't want to put bad things in your body.
On his future in wrestling: I have no goals in wrestling. My goal is to continue to be booked, continue to be healthy, and continue to get paid to feed my cats. I have no delusions of grandeur that WWE or TNA is going to call and nor do I think at this point I would even be interested, considering the travel time versus the amount of money I'd make. Waiting for a call (from WWE or TNA) is one of the most poisonous things you can do to yourself because you're not in control of the situation.

1. What is WebAuth for IIS?
The WebAuth for IIS software is a development of software originally produced as a deliverable from a research project at Leland Stanford Junior University. The main binary is an ISAPI filter, intended for IIS 6.x on Windows Server 2003.
Installing the required software manually proved to be potentially error-prone so Sysdev at OUCS have developed an installer to make the installation and configuration process easier. Some familiarity with Windows Server administration is assumed.

12/1973 (CSLP 150-73) Thermal anomalies, but no confirmed activity
Card 1752 (13 December 1973) Hot-spots on E flank detected on infrared satellite imagery
Observations from space... support previous indication of eruption on Wolf (Event Card 1749), and suggest strong thermal activity on Darwin. . . .
Card 1757 (17 December 1973) Infrared hot-spot probably not eruption related
Close inspection of NOAA-2 imagery shows hot spots reported on Event Card 1752 coincide with caldera floors, not outer flanks, and can probably be explained by normal daytime temperature differences. . . .

Volcán Darwin, named after the renowned naturalist, contains a symmetrical 5-km-wide, 200-m-deep summit caldera whose floor is nearly covered by youthful lava flows. A broad terrace occupies the SW part of the caldera. Fresh-looking, unvegetated lava flows descend all flanks and reach both the eastern and western coasts. The most recent summit activity produced several small lava flows from vents on the east caldera floor and NE and SE caldera rims. Radial fissures descend the flanks, and one reaches beyond its base to the the SW coast and cuts Tagus tuff cone. The sheltered anchorage of Tagus Cove breaches the southern side of the cone and was visited by Darwin and other noted visitors. This prominent tuff cone and its neighbor Beagle (also breached to the south) are located on the SW-flank coastline and were a prominent part of Darwin's geological studies in the Galápagos Islands.

|Two massive Galápagos shield volcanoes, their slopes darkened by young unvegetated lava flows that reach to the sea, appear in this space-shuttle photograph. Fernandina volcano, the most active in the Galápagos Islands, forms a 30 x 34 km wide island with a 4 x 6.5 km wide caldera at its summit. Darwin volcano, north of the midpoint of Isabela Island, has a 5-km-wide summit caldera. The tuff cones of Tagus and Beagle are prominent along its western coast. The light-colored area south of Darwin is the lower western flank of Alcedo volcano.

|Volcán Darwin, named after the celebrated naturalist, rises above a narrow channel opposite Point Espinosa on the NE tip of Fernandina Island. Darwin volcano contains a symmetrical 5-km-wide summit caldera that is nearly filled by lava flows. The most recent summit activity produced several small lava flows from vents on the east caldera floor and NE and SE caldera rims. Two breached tuff cones on the SW-flank coast, Tagus and Beagle, were a prominent part of Darwin's geological studies in the Galápagos Islands.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 1978 (Smithsonian Institution).
|The renowned tuff cones of Tagus (upper left) and Beagle (lower right) were formed by phreatomagmatic eruptions along the coast of Darwin volcano in the Galápagos Islands. The rim of Tagus is breached by Tagus Cove, a storied anchorage in the Galápagos archipelago visited by Darwin's vessel, the Beagle. Tagus tuff cone has at least four nested craters, the youngest of which contains a small salt lake. Fresh black lava flows from fissures on the flanks of Darwin volcano largely surround the tuff cones.
Aerial photo by U.S. Air Force.
|The spatter cones at the right are part of a chain of conelets built of scoria and lava agglutinate erupted from a SW-flank radial fissure from Darwin volcano that cuts across the rim of Tagus tuff cone. Tagus tuff cone contains at least four nested craters. The rims of three of these craters are seen in the backgound. Phreatomagmatic eruptions, resulting from the interaction of magma with seawater, produced the tuff cones.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 1978 (Smithsonian Institution).
|The smallest of at least four nested craters on Tagus tuff cone, located on the SW flank of Darwin volcano, is filled by a small lake. The ridge at the upper left is the SE rim of the tuff cone, which is breached by Tagus Cove, one of the most renowned anchorages in the Galápagos archipelago. Cerro Azul shield volcano rises in the distance at the southern end of Isabela Island.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 1978 (Smithsonian Institution).
|The smooth flank of Darwin shield volcano, seen here from the east coast of Fernandina Island, is modified by a cluster of tuff cones near the SW base of the volcano. The Tagus and Beagle tuff cones (right center horizon) were formed by phreatomagmatic eruptions along the SW coast of Darwin. Fresh black lava flows erupted from fissures on the flanks of Darwin volcano descend to the sea on both sides of the tuff-cone complex.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 1978 (Smithsonian Institution).
|This dramatic Space Shuttle photo from a 1988 mission shows five major calderas of the Galápagos Islands. Caldera diameters capping these basasltic shield volcanoes range up to 8 km. At the lower left is Fernandina volcano. At the lower right is mostly vegetated Alcedo volcano on Isabela Island. Above and to the left is Darwin volcano, with the two prominent breached tuff cones, Tagus and Beagle, on its SW flank. Volcán Wolf is at the top of the photo, and Volcán Ecuador with its breached caldera forms the NW tip of Isabela Island.
Shuttle photo by National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA), 1988.
|Volcán Ecuador, which straddles the equator at the NW end of Isabela Island, rises beyond a lava flow near Beagle tuff cone on the flanks of Darwin volcano. Ecuador is the smallest of the six large shield volcanoes on Isabela and is broadly breached to the coast on the side opposite this view. No historical eruptions are known; however, the youthful morphology of its most recent lava flows resembles those of very recent flows on other Isabela Island volcanoes. A line of NE-trending fissure-fed vents (right horizon) extends to the SE.
Photo by Ed Vicenzi, 2002 (Smithsonian Institution).
|A spectacular aerial view from the SE shows the caldera of Darwin volcano in the foreground, with Volcán Wolf in the right background and the tip of Volcán Ecuador at the NW tip of Isabella Island on far left horizon. Volcán Darwin, named after the renowned naturalist, contains a symmetrical 5-km-wide, 200-m-deep summit caldera whose floor is nearly covered by youthful lava flows. A broad terrace occupies the SW part of the caldera (left side). Fresh-looking, dark-colored lava flows from flank fissures are visible between Darwin and Wolf volcanoes.

Pronounced "cute", apparently
What the hell is Qt, and why should I care about its sale?
future of the Qt framework last week looked bleak as Nokia
announced the
closure of the Australian branch working on it. Thankfully, the
phone manufacturer had the sense to
sell it on to Digia, another Finnish company.
With Nokia focusing exclusively on handsets running Windows Phone, continuing to work on Qt made little sense for the company - though they apparently got "a fraction" for it than the $150m Nokia bought it for in 2008.
Of course, if you're a developer you may be asking: "why should I care about some obscure tech being passed about?" Well, if Digia play their cards right, Qt has the potential to be a strong contender in the world of cross-platform development - both desktop and mobile.
Qt is far from a household name, but considering that it's integrated into 155 million hardware devices, it's probably in at least one or two things you own. Samsung, Asus, Philips and Sony utilise Qt in hardware ranging from set-top boxes to in-car GPS systems and even fridges. Yes, really.
Qt isn't just for hardware operating systems, though: it's found
in a load of desktop apps, including Google Earth, VLC and the
Linux version of Skype.
Possibly more interesting than Qt, which is coded in C++, is its Qt Quick framework, which uses an HTML5-style markup for quick production of native mobile apps.
Under Nokia ownership, development focused mostly on MeeGo and Symbian platforms (with webOS onboard too). But with Digia pledging to "[widen] the support for mobile operating systems", it could soon become another potential choice for developers putting together cross-platform mobile apps.
Sure, Qt Markup Language (QML) may be yet another syntax to learn, but if you're jumping straight out of CSS and JavaScript it's considerably simpler than Java or C#:
import QtQuick 1.0 Rectangle { width: 200 height: 200 color: "blue" Image { source: "pics/logo.png" anchors.centerIn: parent } }
Plus, Qt developers are experimenting with a script allowing direct export from Photoshop - something you can't say about PhoneGap. Oh yes, and it's free and open source - did we mention that earlier?
Of course, it remains to be seen if Digia can pull off decent iPhone and Android compatibility, but we'll be keeping a keen eye on Qt's progress.

Whether your homeowner clients require a point-of-entry (POE) or point-of-use (POU) water purification solution depends on numerous factors. Chlorine's not going to harm the laundry, but it makes a lousy cup of tea. An undercounter POU filter can take care of it. Iron in the water can corrupt the entire plumbing system and calls for POE filtration at the primary inlet. The Aquafer filter uses a proprietary "KDF" filtering medium that's supposed to remove up to 99% of water-soluble lead, mercury, nickel, chromium, and other dissolved metals. Significantly, the system is said to require no wasteful backwashing or other regular maintenance. The filters cost from $1,595 to $2,495, depending on the required flow (gpm) capacity. Puritec, 888/491-4100, www.puritec.com.
If you're well hydrated, you drink at least eight glasses of water a day. That's just fine with cryptosporidium and giardia, wee parasitic protozoa that occur in municipal water supplies large and small and thrive in the human intestinal tract. PureTouch AquaSuite undercounter filtration systems claim to provide 99.99% parasite removal, along with chlorine, lead, mercury, and other foul stuff, while delivering 1 gallon of water per minute. No-sweat installation is managed by a single bolt clamp for the faucet's deck mount, braided stainless-steel supply hoses, and an included tee-adapter fitting. A battery-powered light on the faucet base signals when the filter nears replacement time. List prices start at $280 for the chrome finish and top out at $420 for a copper finish. Moen, 877/374-6542, www.pure-touch.com.
Blue stains in the sink and shower are a sure sign of copper corrosion from aggressive (low pH, or acidic) water. Aggressive water shortens appliance life spans, while progressive etching of copper tubing leads to eventual pinholes and system failure. AWS offers a comprehensive line of pH neutralizers (and many other whole-house filtration systems) designed to address corrosive water at the POE. Advanced Water Systems, 831/476-0515, www.advancedh2o.com.
This organizer accommodates three 25-quart triangular plastic containers and a canvas bag supported on a wire framework. The canvas bag (shown stuffed with plastic shopping bags) is good for stuffing with plastic shopping bags. The containers roll out on bottom-mounted, full-extension slides in a 34-inch-wide base cabinet. The drawer above is a natural location for twist ties, rubber bands, twine, unidentified keys, a couple of chip clips, and other never-used items that should probably just be recycled instead of stashed. It happens in the best of homes. Cabinets are independently priced by distributor. Wood-Mode, Inc., 570/374-2711, www.wood-mode.com.
Here's a setup that could make taking out the trash a thing of the past. The Recyclit's stainless-steel chutes install through an exterior kitchen wall and emerge outside into a permanently-installed steel canopy that neatly tops a roll cart or a recycling bin. The chutes are capped by stainless-steel, magnetic flip doors that keep the wind from whistling in. Extension chutes are available for two-story drops. A single-chute system lists for $495, plus your installation cost. Recyclit, 800/353-5136, www.recyclitinc.com.
Homeowners have to think twice about their trash nowadays as more disposal companies begin to enforce rigid curbside presentations — all in the name of recycling, of course. Cans in one container, glass in another, newspapers lovingly bundled and tied, and pretty plastics all in a row. All this extra handling is made easier at the point of disposal with a cluster of organizing bins. The Roll Out Recycling Center installs behind a hinged door or converts to a door mount unit with an included bracket. Two- and four-bin configurations hold 27-quart-capacity plastic bins.
A nice thing about door mounting is that it allows the use of a handy Toe-Kick Opener (below); after all, your hands are probably full. Lift the catch with your foot, and the spring-loaded unit slides forward automatically.
A Rotary Corner Recycling Center may be one of the better applications for a 36-inch corner base cabinet (bottom left). Three 32-quart-capacity bins hang on a rotating center post behind pie-corner doors. The unit is also available for door mounting (but without a foot-power option).

CD7.3 Enzyme Inhibition1
The maximum velocity, Vmax, in addition to being a function of the total enzyme concentration, may also be a function of other variables, such as ionic strength, pH, temperature, and inhibitor concentrations. For a number of enzymes Vmax exhibits an optimum in pH. (At a low pH the Vmax increases with increasing pH, while at a high pH it decreases with increasing pH, with the maximum value lying in the intermediate pH range.) One mathematical model that has been used to express this dependency on hydrogen ion concentration is.2
|where H is hydrogen ion concentration
and Ka and Kb
are the ionization constants of the enzyme-substrate complex in the acidic,
and basic solutions, respectively. The denominator of Equation (CD7-9) is
referred to as the Michaelis pH function. The Michaelis constant,
Km has been observed to exhibit
a similar dependence on pH.
In addition to pH, another factor that greatly influences the rates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions is the presence of an inhibitor. The most dramatic consequences of enzyme inhibition are found in living organisms, where the inhibition of any particular enzyme involved in a primary metabolic sequence will render the entire sequence inoperative, resulting in either serious damage or death of the organism. For example, the inhibition of a single enzyme, cytochrome oxidase, by cyanide will cause the aerobic oxidation process to stop; death occurs in a very few minutes. There are also beneficial inhibitors such as the ones used in the treatment of leukemia and other neoplastic diseases.
The three most common types of reversible inhibition occurring in enzymatic reactions are competitive, uncompetitive, and noncompetitive. The enzyme molecule is analogous to the heterogeneous catalytic surface in that it contains active sites. When competitive inhibition occurs, the substrate and inhibitor are usually similar molecules that compete for the same site on the enzyme. Uncompetitive inhibition occurs when the inhibitor deactivates the enzyme-substrate complex, usually by attaching itself to both the substrate and enzyme molecules of the complex. Noncompetitive inhibition occurs with enzymes containing at least two different types of sites. The inhibitor attaches only to one type of site and the substrate only to the other.
CD7.3A Competitive Inhibition
|Competitive inhibition is of particular importance in pharmacokinetics (drug therapy). If a patient were administered two or more drugs simultaneously which react within the body with a common enzyme, cofactor, or active species, this could lead to competitive inhibition of the formation of the respective metabolites and produce serious consequences.
Example CD7-3
CD7.3B Uncompetitive Inhibition
|Here, the inhibitor does not compete with the substrate for the enzyme; instead, it ties up the enzyme-substrate complex by forming an inhibitor-enzyme-substrate complex, thereby restricting the breakdown of the (ES) complex to produce the desired product. Typical steps in an uncompetitive enzymatic reaction are
|The rate of formation of the product is
|Application of the pseudo-steady-state hypothesis to ES and IES yields the respective equations
|To obtain ES, we solve Equations (CD7-12) and (CD7-14) together with the mole balance for the total enzyme initially present,
|and substitute the result into Equation (7-49) to obtain the rate law for the mechanism above, involving the uncompetitive inhibition of an enzymatic reaction:
|A Lineweaver-Burk plot of Equation (CD7-16) for different inhibitor concentrations will result in a family of parallel lines all with a slope of Km/Vmax.
CD7.3C Noncompetitive Inhibition
In noncompetitive inhibition, the substrate and inhibitor molecules react with different types of sites on the enzyme molecule, and consequently, the deactivating complex, IES, can be formed by two reversible reaction paths:
These paths, along with the formation of the product, P. are as follows:
|This reaction sequence can also be written as
|Reaction 1
|Reaction 2
|Reaction 3
|Reaction 4
|Reaction 5
An alternative method of finding the rate law for the sequence presented in Equations (CD7-17) through (CD7-21) is to assume that the last reaction, (CD7-21), is rate limiting and that each of the other reactions, (CD7-17) through (CD7-20), is essentially in equilibrium. This method is analogous to that used to derive the rate law in heterogeneous catalysis, where one of the steps (e.g., adsorption) is rate controlling. Assuming that the rate-limiting step (reaction 5) is irreversible, the rate of formation of the product is
rp = kp(ES)
(CD7-22) Using this equilibrium technique, the rate law for the first reaction, Equation (CD7-17),
(CD7-23) is rearranged and the ratio of the rate of reaction to the specific reaction rate is set equal to zero.
The resulting equation is solved for the concentration of the enzyme-substrate complex.
(ES) =Ks(S)(E)
Example CD7-4
Derive a Rate Law For Non-Competitive Inhibition
Since the substrate and inhibitor attach at different sites, a reasonable assumption is that the equilibrium between the enzyme and the substrate is the same whether or not an inhibitor is attached to the enzyme (i.e., Ks =); then
(EIS) = Ks(EI)(S)
(ES) = Ks(E)(S)
By making a similar assumption for the equilibrium between the enzyme and the inhibitor, KI =, we can rearrange Equation (CDE7-4.6) so that
(CD7-25) where
Equation (CD7-25) is in the form of the rate law that is usually given for an enzymatic reaction exhibiting noncompetitive inhibition. Heavy metal ions such as Pb2+, Ag+, Hg2+, and others, as well as inhibitors that react with the enzyme to form chemical derivatives, are typical examples of noncompetitive inhibitors. The various types of inhibition are compared with a reaction in which no inhibitors are present (dark line) on the Lineweaver-Burk plot shown in Figure CD7-1. We observe the following relationships:
1. In competitive inhibition the slope increases with increasing inhibitor concentration while the intercept remains fixed.
2. In uncompetitive inhibition the y-intercept increases with increasing inhibitor concentration while the slope remains fixed.
3. In noncompetitive inhibition both the intercept and slope will increase with increasing inhibitor concentration.
Figure CD7-1
|In addition to the Lineweaver-Burk plot, the Eadie plot is also used to present data of enzymatic reactions. The Eadie plot magnifies departures from linearity that might not be observed in the Lineweaver-Burk plot. In Figure CD7-2a, b, and c, the Eadie plot is used to present the data for three enzymatic reactions: one with the competitive type of inhibition, one with the uncompetitive type of inhibition, and the third with the noncompetitive type of inhibition. Each figure contains two lines corresponding to two different inhibitor concentrations; line a represents the higher inhibitor concentration and line b the lower inhibitor concentration.

SPOKANE, Wash.—The manager at Kouchlock Productions confirmed Wednesday that the first retail marijuana store in Spokane will open July 1.
The manager added that the store, located at Francis and Napa, should have all inspections done by the end of June.
WATCH: Spokane grower given state's first recreational marijuana licenses
The Washington State Liquor Control Board issued the state's first licenses to produce and process recreational marijuana during a Board meeting at its headquarters in Olympia in March.
The licenses were issued to Spokane's Sean Green who planned to operate his business under the trade name Kouchlock Productions.
The owner of Washington's first marijuana retail outlet, Scott O'Neil, doesn't even smoke pot. He says it was his good friend Green who convinced him to get into the business.
"Sean is a very persuasive persona and he needed somebody, and I was willing to help him," said O'Neil.
As July 1 approaches, O'Neil said he is feeling a sense of relief and tension all at the same time.
"It's nice to know when you're going to open," he said. "Now the pressure's on me to get everything done."
What is not certain is whether the new store will keep up with the predicted demand on day one.
The 35 licensed producers actively growing marijuana in the state have only been allowed to grow for the past four months. The two-month cycle from marijuana seed to the retail store means customers will be limited in the amount they can buy.
O'Neil said more than likely, customers would only be able to walk away with a gram or an eighth of an ounce of pot until the supply chain is more stable. In the meantime, O'Neil said he has been contacting every marijuana producer in the state trying to secure a steady supply chain.
It is also not clear what costs will be. Prices will be higher in Washington state than in Colorado, however, because of taxes. In Colorado, an eighth of an ounce will cost anywhere from $65 to $75.
One thing is certain: on July 1, people will be lining up outside Kouchlock Production's door.
"It's history in the making, so you don't really know what it's going to be like," said O'Neil.

The week ahead: Can the bulls stay in charge?
Tuesday's drop gave investors an excellent entry point for a sustained rally. Of course, certain groups appear better than others at the moment.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
It was another headline-driven week for the markets, as last Tuesday's plunge in reaction to uncertainty in the Euro debt plan shook the confidence of even some bullish investors.
As I noted last week, the market was quite overbought, so a correction was likely. But it was sharper than I expected.
The market is now awaiting the confidence vote in Greece, which will be completed late Friday, and concerns have been growing over Italy since Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi turned down funding from the IMF on Friday. The Italian bond and stock markets were not convinced, and once again came under pressure.
Though Tuesday's losses were quite severe, if you look at the charts the pullback looked fairly normal. In many cases, Tuesday's decline just filled the gaps from the previous week, which is pretty normal from a technical standpoint.
The MF Global debacle also shook the confidence of investors. After many years in the market, I am still surprised that this type of mismanagement within a financial organization can still go on undetected. The highly leveraged position in euro debt held by MF Global was shameful, and unfortunately it is the employees and customers of MF Global who bear the brunt of the pain.
Certainly, the battle between the bulls and the bears continued, and it is likely that many weak longs were taken out of them market last Tuesday. Stocks finished the week lower for the first time in five weeks.
However, last Thursday's strong gains in reaction to the surprise rate cut by the ECB put the bulls back in charge. On Friday, stocks edged higher from the early weakness to close well off the lows, which was encouraging.
The good signs came in spite of the disappointing employment report. And while the number of new jobs missed expectations, the upward revisions in the prior months were positive. This suggests that we may see further upward revisions.
Most economists have now given up on the double-dip scenario, though many are staying out of the markets due to concerns over Greece (and now Italy), as well as the impending deadline for the supercommittee.
The markets took the lack of a definitive final communiqué from the G20 meeting pretty well. It does seem that the IMF will have emergency funding in place quickly if needed.
The daily chart of the E-mini S&P futures shows that last Tuesday's decline held above the key 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support at 1,204.75. A close back below this level would put the bears back in charge. This would project a drop down to the 50% support at 1,178.75.
The futures closed well off the lows, so the bears are likely a bit nervous. It appears that much of the action over the past two weeks has been in the futures; volume was especially high on October 27. This was likely portfolio managers belatedly jumping into the market…but one wonders how many were stopped out last Tuesday, as they quickly had sharp losses.
As I noted in today's in-depth technical review of the stock market, sentiment did reach an extreme in early October, but now there are fewer bears. They need to get much more bullish before it is a concern, and typically it takes several months for the sentiment to shift from one extreme to the other.
There were some interesting numbers on money flow last week. It seems as though investors are now willing to accept more risk. It was reported that $25 billion moved out of money market funds, which was the highest since August. Another $3.5 billion went into emerging-market equities. The last time the flows were that high was in April.
Money also flowed out of the Treasury market. As I noted a last week, a shift from bonds to equities could provide fuel for even a stronger stock rally. If these trends continue over the next few weeks, they could have intermediate-term significance.
Other economic data was mixed. Retail sales were a bit lower, though some stores like Kohl's (KSS) exceeded estimates.
Forecasts for consumer spending during the holidays are still low, but I continue to think that the actual figures will beat analysts' expectations. I still like the retail sector, and think it can continue to move higher until we get closer to the holidays.
This week is fairly light for economic news. The most notable numbers come at the end of the week. Thursday, of course, we have weekly jobless claims, as well as the international trade and Import/Export prices. This is followed on Friday by the latest readings on consumer sentiment, which is probably the biggest report of the week.
As I noted earlier, the vote in Greece after the close will set the tone for the markets early in the week. It will be important as a breakout of the recent ranges should signal the next major move. The volume and A/D line analysis are both still in clear uptrends for the major averages, and do not show any signs yet of topping out.
A close above last Friday's highs will signal a test of the late-October highs for all the major averages, and I would expect them to be exceeded.
Conversely, a close below Thursday's low will set the stage for a test of last Tuesday's lows, and may indicate another wave of selling. If this occurs it will take some of the strongest sectors back to good support where the risk on new long positions is favorable.
The Spyder Trust (SPY) traded Friday in the middle of Thursday's range, which is likely a sign of indecision. The flat 200-day moving average is at $127.50, and a close above this will give the market a psychological boost and suggest a test of the recent highs at $129.43.
The daily Starc+ band is at $131.41, with the weekly Starc+ band at $134.06.
The NYSE A/D line is still clearly in an uptrend after turning positive in October. The moving average of the A/D line is rising sharply, also suggesting the trend is still up. As of Thursday's close, the A/D line is just slightly below its recent highs.
There is short-term support for SPY at $123.60, with further levels at $122.80 and the $122 area.
A close below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement support at $121.02 would signal a drop to the $118.43 area, which is the 50% support.
Dow Industrials
The Spyder Diamonds Trust (DIA) is still showing better relative performance than the SPY. It closed the week well above the 200-day moving average at $119.56.
Once above Thursday's high at $120.41, the next resistance is in the $122.20 to $122.48 area. The longer-term downtrend is at $123.56.
The Dow Industrials A/D line was the only A/D line to make new highs last Thursday, suggesting that the safety and dividends of the blue-chip Dow stocks are favored by investors.
There is now minor support for DIA at $117.17, with the 38.2% support following at $115.48. A close below this level would project a drop down to the 50% support at $113.26.
The PowerShares QQQ Trust (QQQ), as I noted last week, had started to underperform the S&P 500. The RS analysis has not topped out yet, so another push to the upside is still possible, as technology-sector earnings have been stronger.
A close above last Thursday's high at $58.17 will signal a rally to the prior highs at $59.21. There is trend line and daily Starc+ band resistance in the $60.50 to $61.10 area.
Despite Friday's lower close, there are no signs yet that the Nasdaq-100 A/D line has topped out.
Russell 2000
The iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (IWM) tested the 61.8% retracement resistance level in late October before turning lower. It held in a narrow range on Friday.
A daily close above $75.20 and last Thursday's high would be positive, and is likely to signal a breakout above the 61.8% resistance level.
The RS analysis broke its downtrend in early October (line b). A move through resistance (line c) would create a pattern of higher highs and higher lows, suggesting that the small-cap stocks have started to outperform the S&P 500.
The on-balance volume (OBV) formed a bullish divergence at the October lows (line d), and has turned up sharply. It is acting stronger than prices, and is already close to the July highs, even though IWM is still much lower.
A close below $71.83 would weaken the short-term outlook and suggest a test of the 38.2% support at $70.53. A decisive close below this level would project a drop to the 50% support at $68.54.
The Russell 2000 A/D line is still in an uptrend, but needs to hold above last week's lows.
S&P Mid-Cap 400
The iShares Trust S&P Mid-Cap 400 (IJH) also held a narrow range on Friday. It had rallied from an October low of $72.99 to a high on October 27 of $91.94.
The decline last week held above the 38.2% support at $84.88, and if it is broken the 50% support sits at $82.23.
The RS line has broken its downtrend (line e), but it still needs to move through the resistance formed in August (line f) to complete its bottom formation.
The OBV on IYT also formed a bullish divergence at the October lows (line g), and is still positive, though the selling last Thursday was quite heavy. The weekly OBV (not shown) needs a higher close this week to turn positive.
Sector Focus
Of the ten major sectors, the Select Sector SPDR Energy (XLE), Select Sector SPDR Industrials (XLI), and the Select Sector SPDR Technology(XLK) are closest to their recent highs. If they can move above last Thursday's highs, it would be a short-term positive. I recommended several railroad stocks last week, which are part of the Industrial sector.
The Dow Transportation Average, after moving above the resistance at 5,000, has had a normal pullback. It still looks positive.
Crude oil has been leading the market higher. That was the case again on Friday; after December crude oil edged into positive territory in the afternoon, stocks firmed.
Crude oil held the breakout level (line a) on last Tuesday's drop. The weekly and daily technical studies on crude oil are positive, and suggest a move to the $98 to $100 area. The weekly double-bottom formation has targets above $105.
Precious Metals
The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) was able to overcome the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at $170 last week, which suggests a move to the 61.8% resistance at $173.76.
The daily OBV is positive, while the weekly is closer now to also turning positive. Still, the sluggish nature of the rally does not warrant new long positions, as the trading has been quite choppy.
There is first support now at $168, and a drop below $163.61 would be a short-term negative.
The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) has backed off from the highs at $34.44, but the chart pattern still looks like a continuation pattern. This would imply that we will see another decline. A break of key support at $29.80 would be negative.
The Week Ahead
I would not be surprised to see new governments in both Greece and Italy by the end of the week. Greece may also go into default, but I think if they do, the reaction may not be what most are expecting.
That is one good thing about technical analysis. While it is subjective, at least you are dealing with hard numbers from the markets. I have found, after more than 30 years in the markets, this approach has a better chance of correctly forecasting future prices.
I hope if you were looking to buy, you did on last Tuesday's drop, as I recommended last week.
As always, I recommend you develop your investment plan while the markets are closed. Also, be sure to use stops, and adjust them once you have nice profits.
- Don't miss Tom's latest Trading Lesson: A Chart Formation the Pros Love
Does anybody know why the European Union doesn't vote greece out since they lied about their debt ratio to get in, in the first place. Then those morons can print and inflate their little hearts out, or is it simply to late for that?
With Greece, it's all about the overleveraged exposure. Trust me...the following are NOT things being said in the mainstrean "buy, buy, buy" media (see: MSN, CNBC, etc). European banks, and the countries they park their empires on, have Trillions (yes, with a T) in overleveraged CDS's.
For example, just yesterday a little Austria bank, Erste, disclosed some major CDS losses of EUR 2.4 billion in financial institution exposures, and EUR 2.8 billion in sovereign exposures. Why is this a surprise? The fact that Erste had a sovereign CDS portfolio which was not marked-to-market is flat out irresponsible at the least and criminally deceiptive at most. As a reminder the "great" European bank stress tests had Erste to have zero sovereign CDS exposure, compared to the €2.8bn it now appears to have 'fessed up' to. For a small bank this is HUGE! Imagine what the "real" banks have "undisclosed".
To kick Greece out of the "club" would be to expose alllll those CDS's to come on the table. That would create a worldwide credit event that makes Leman/Bear Stearns look like a lemonaid stand going out of business in comparison.
Everyone is making out like Greece is some sort of economic Armageddon. Please...they have the GDP of roughly 2% of the Eurozone and are a notch above Maryland on the economic power rankings. Maryland Fried Chicken vs black olives. Even if they failed to meet their debt obligations (which won't happen by any stretch of the imagination), it shouldn't have anywhere near the impact it's been having.
The much bigger worries are right here on home soil. MF Global is only the 10% who get caught screwing America. We need a wholesale change in both public and private sector management. So old man 76, we need a lot more folks like you to keep paying attention! Cheers!
that we CAN control our own destiny!
A consuming nation can not survive. As long as we keep puchasing
imports, we are creating jobs over seas, and loosing them in the US.
While this may not seem important to you at this time, YOUR JOB may be
Government is immaterial the wealthy power structure will determine the fate of the common person.

I have made this top for my daughter Yolanda. She has had her eye on it. I bought some black ruffled jersey in the market last Saturday £1.50 a metre so this top cost around £1 as I still have quite a lot of fabric left.
As it is jersey, it doesn't really need a zip so I did not use it. I made the smallest size for her and I will take her on Saturday when I'll go to see her play (last night) in Northampton. she will start a new play in London . It is a completely new play called Birdland.
I'll take some picture when she use it.

Nancy LeMay
Daytona Beach, Florida
BA Classical Studies - Latin and BS Ed from the University of Missouri - Columbia. Also got 13 hrs grad school in Latin & Classics while I taught Latin I & II to undergrads (yes, I was one of those dreaded TAs). My high school was the perpetual State Football Champion, Jeff City High (Jefferson City, MO)
Family Ties:
Mike (yes, THAT Mike) who's the best husband in the world, stepkids Matt & Andrea, son-in-law Keith, and new "daughters" Esther and Nip Nip. Mom and my sister Cathy & her family are back in Missouri (that's where the "twang" comes from).
TRAVEL, TRAVEL, TRAVEL. Did I mention I like to travel? Especially when it includes COMPLETELY UNINTERRUPTED time with my hubby. And DANCING!!! Thanks to Dale Walton, our "niche" seems to be swing and cha-cha, but we do a decent waltz. But our foxtrot is a trainwreck (or a wrestling match). And I love Middle Eastern Dance but I've only had a few lessons so I'm not that good at it (although Mike strongly disagrees with that statement). Also love to worship, with a peculiar gift for harmonies, and I love photography, but it seems that's one of those things I never quite get around to.
Guilty Pleasure:
shopping-if it were an Olympic sport, I'd be a world-class gold medalist.
Favorite TV shows/Movies:
TV: Jeopardy and any show with a form of "Dance" in the title. Also love NFL football and PGA golf, especially since it's not just "the Tiger Show" anymore. Lately like Person of Interest and finally catching on to Raising Hope. Movies: The Quiet Man, which is the best John Wayne movie EVER, Ben Hur, The Best Years of Our Lives, Holiday Inn, Lord of the Rings (LOTR)...and for pure yuks, Young Frankenstein & Galaxy Quest.
After almost 18 years, we finally lost Cliff in October of '10, so after an 8 month hiatus we acquired a couple of girls from the Oshkosh Humane Society: Esther, a former stray silver tiger with a rapidly expanding middle who's about 8 yrs old (no housecat etiquette though, catch phrase is "I was a stray, you know..."), and Nip Nip, a TEENSY (like, 6 lbs) 12 yr old black & tan tabby with a penchant for milk-treading and licking plastic bags.
Favorite Band/Artist/Song:
Pillar, Tenth Avenue North & Matthew West. At Christmas I love Handel's Messiah plus get my Celtic fix with The Chieftains "Bells of Dublin". For worship, "Revelation Song" & "My Savior's Love" (the "oh how marvelous" one) always get me, plus Third Day's first "Offerings" & most Hillsong (sing it, Darlene!)
How did you end up working at the Q?
They had an opening that fit all my prior 20 years of work experience perfectly. God is so funny that way - like our whole lives are just "training" for what He really wants us to do.
Favorite Bible Passage:
Romans 8:18-39.
What is your most treasured possession?
My wedding ring, and after that it would be my official LOTR replica of Eowyn's sword-it reminds me to be the strong, brave warrior princess God designed me as.
My prayer for Q-90:
That we see things through God's eyes and know that all things are possible through Him.
If you could add or change one thing to the Green Bay area, what would it be?
A Cracker Barrel restaurant-LOVE their green beans.
Who did you want to be like when you were growing up?
An archaeologist in Troy or ancient Rome. I ended up in insurance marketing, inadvertently following in my dad's footsteps.
What was the last book you read, and when did you read it?
"Beautiful Outlaw" by John Eldredge. But my all time fave is "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn, which changed my life by changing my focus. If you need hope, read that book.
If you could ask one question, what would it be, and how would you answer it?
? Q: Are there animals in heaven? A: In Revelations 19:11, Jesus returns riding a white horse out of heaven - duh! (and THANK YOU Pastor Wells for pointing that out to me!)
If you could spend a whole day with somebody famous, who would it be and why?
Would LOVE to have discussions on Christianity with C.S. Lewis. And I'd love to spend the day shopping with Joyce Meyer.
What's your favorite candy and soda?
Okay, I've become the office "health nazi" now - no more sugar or high fructose corn syrup, plus no wheat, beef, or potatoes (okay, not so good at that last one) I do goat dairy & almond milk now, and regularly pretend to beat the snot out of stuff in cardio kickboxing (verrrry therapeutic). BUT, I LOVE Pamela's Chocolate Chunk Pecan Shortbread cookies.

The propane shortage on the Standing Rock Reservation has been forcing many people to conserve heat. But conservation may not be enough to keep people warm.
The propane shortage on the Standing Rock Reservation may have caused the tribe's first weather-related death of the year.I think it's really hard to know that we lost someone so close. It's definitely hard.But tribal officials are saying it's not definite that a Fort Yates woman found dead in her home Tuesday morning froze to death.It's under investigation by BIA and by the Sioux County Sheriff's office. There is an autopsy going on right now and no results will be available until Friday," says Tribal
Chairman Dave Archambault. Archambault says out of respect for the family, they are not releasing the name of the woman or her address. And he says he can't confirm if she ran out of propane before she died.Was there any propane? I don't know. I can't answer that question for you right now. Did she die because of cold weather, being no heat? I don't know," he says. But residents say they think a lot of people are underestimating the cold, even with the state of emergency."Most of them don't realize how cold the weather is, and most aren't checking their propane, not really doubling up on their blankets," says Jessica Pleets, Standing Rock Resident. Archambault says they're looking internally in the tribe to see if there's any way to help people who don't receive low-income heating assistance.
We won't know an official cause of death until Friday when the coroner releases the autopsy results.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Georgia Tech already has two running backs committed for 2013.
If they are looking for another one, Quinten James is interested.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pounder from North Cobb High School has around 20 offers, with Miami as his leader over Mississippi State.
But if Georgia Tech calls?
"I don't know if they have any spots left but I've very interested in Georgia Tech because it's a great school and not that far away. I already have a high school teammate playing there and I know a lot of the players. I haven't heard much from them since they got [two commitments at running back], but I'd love to hear from them. I'm definitely interested."
With his size and speed, James arguably has more upside potential than any other RB in Georgia. At the RisingSeniors.com all-star game last December, he impressed scouts in practices by beating 5-star linebacker Reuben Foster to the corner on several running plays.
Ironically, James may end up playing linebacker in college. Most of the schools, including Miami and Mississippi State, are recruiting James as an "athlete" who can play running back or outside linebacker.
His preference? ""I prefer playing running back, but I've been developing my skills at linebacker. I could see myself playing outside linebacker at the next level."
James said he would also be receptive to interest from Missouri and Texas A&M. He will likely make his college decision in early October.

I am curious to see how his recruitment goes. He was suspended from school a couple in the spring and I just don't see the support from the coaches in helping him get recruited compared to other top RBs in the area.

7:16 am
RB for us is should be like QB, get a few more than you need and move the ones who don't shake out in the position to another one. Haven't seen him play, but by reading this article I believe that the more teams see him the higher his stock will rise (not withstanding what Warrior Fan said is true or not).
Go Jackets!!!!

In Tech's offensive scheme you can never have too many running backs, but I'm wondering if this young man is an academic fit at GT. It's great to know that, with 20 offers, he is assured of getting to play and get an education at the next level. Great luck to him, at Tech or wherever he winds up.

This is a young man who will not get an offer from GT !!!

Oilers at Ducks, G82, 09-10
This is Stan Weir. Stan called me the other night, and man is he pissed. Stan feels the Oilers are a laughing stock and he is displeased to say the least. The last time we spent a prolonged period with Stan it was 2006 spring and honestly he enjoyed himself. He's secretly been hoping for a return trip to the finals (or semifinals, or quarterfinals, or frankly the playoffs. Close to the playoffs. Somewhere on the same page. In the neighbourhood. In the race. In the race through Christmas. Win 2-in-a-row. Have more than 3 defenseman on the roster at a given time) but it is not going to happen. Again. Stan feels the management needs to lay off the fugazi and cut out fubar completely.
The AHL Falcons are also on the way to ending their season (thankfully) and there are some noxious fumes coming from that part of Oil Country too. A few recent stat lines:
- Jeff Petry is -11 in his last four games. His totals by game (-4, -2, -2, -3) must be close to a record for a 4-game period and I really wonder if this organization just throws the new hires into the deep end (facing the toughest competition). Either way, Petry is 7gp, 0-2-2 -10 to start his pro career. Taylor Chorney went 7gp, 0-3-3 -5 to begin his AHL career.
- Jordan Eberle is 10gp, 4-7-11 -5 this season in Springfield. It is very similar to his stint with the Falcons a year ago, except he's scoring more at EV (3 goals) this year.
- Chris Vande Velde got a point last night, making him 2gp, 0-1-1 +1 so far in his pro debut this weekend.
The Falcons play again this afternoon to wrap up their schedule. We'll be looking at the Falcons in-depth during the spring, but I really wonder how many of the Oilers prospects will move from Springfield to Okla City. A guy like Slava Trukhno is three seasons into his pro career and if he's developing the math can't see it. Colin McDonald was -25 and Ryan O'Marra a sprightly -19, Geoff Paukovich has done little to distinguish himself and Bryan Lerg is 23 and can't get into the lineup most nights. And that's just the forwards!
If we can agree that this organization needs to bottom out before they can move forward, then today is a good day to reach rock bottom. Oilers are in 30th, the Falcons are calling in Mayflower movers to get the hell out of Dodge, and a bunch of those 50 contracts won't be back next season. Send in the Clowns, don't bother they're here.

Hi everyone,
Bit of a question here to either Mods or any helpful forum members. I've been trying to get in contact with the guys behind Dark Age for a series of articles I'm writing on alternative games (God I hate that phrase). However, after repeated attempts at contacting them using their contact form and getting no reply for nearly two months now, I'm left with the option of trying the forum approach, or writing the article without the companies input. Something I'm keen to avoid. I will say though 2 things:
1) If your contact form is broken, fit it.
2) If you've ignored my polite and repeated requests for information and help, that's really poor customer service.
I hope it's thew first option. Any way looking forward to hearing back from anyone who can help an enthusiastic gamer out.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Short Take Road Test: 2010 Acura RDX Front-Wheel Drive
This 2010 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2012.
By Steve Siler of Car and Driver
Three years ago, the compact luxury SUV segment had but two entries: the BMW X3 and the Acura RDX. Now, of course, the segment has gotten rather crowded, so the time is right for the originals to get freshened. The X3 is due for a full-scale redesign soon, but the RDX is receiving a mid-cycle refresh for 2010. The RDX has always represented strong value, and that's the case now more than ever, as heavier and pricier entries push the limit on what people will spend for small utes ($50,000-plus for a well-optioned BMW X3 is a stretch, even for the most ardent Bimmerphiles). To really hammer that point home, Acura presents a lighter, thriftier entry in the form of the 2010 front-wheel-drive RDX.
Now, front-wheel drive is hardly our favorite arrangement for anything that attempts to combine luxury and sport. But at about 3750 pounds (add 10 or so pounds for the Tech package), the two-wheel-drive RDX saves just under 200 pounds over the all-wheel-drive version — previously the only available arrangement — making it one of the lightest compact luxury SUVs around. In the process, the front-to-rear weight distribution shifts forward a bit compared with that of the all-wheel-drive version (60/40 versus 59/41), but fuel economy goes up by 2 mpg to 19 city/24 highway from 17/22, and the price is exactly $2000 lower, starting at $33,330 for the 2010. Acura expects this to be a trade-off many will be willing to make, particularly in the Sunbelt, where all-wheel drive is seen primarily as an off-road-only thing.
Does Front-Wheel Drive Kill the Fun? Nope.
We expected a truckload of torque steer with 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque channeled through the front wheels, but just a taste of that notorious steering-wheel shimmy came through. We even let go of the steering wheel during a couple of full-throttle launches — something we would never do in a Saab 9-3 or even Acura's own front-wheel-drive TSX V-6 — and found little tugging to the right that wasn't immediately straightened on its own. And this RDX is as quick as ever, equaling or besting nearly all the figures posted by our long-term 2007 RDX AWD. The front-driver's 0-to-60-mph sprint was three ticks quicker at 6.4 seconds, although too much brake torquing causes acceleration-spoiling wheelspin, while the quarter-mile passed in 15.1 at 94 mph versus 15.3 at 91 for the long-termer. A top speed of 136 mph also was slightly better than the all-wheel-drive version's 132, but braking from 70-0 took 186 feet, six more than before. Steering feel seemed mostly unfazed by the concentration of power at the turning wheels, although we admit we didn't get a chance to do much hard charging in the twisties. However, the front driver did match our all-wheel-drive long-termer around the skidpad by pulling 0.80 g.
In addition to comparable performance for less coin, the most troublesome of the RDX's earlier issues also has been rectified, that being a painfully brittle ride. Today's RDX offers an excellent balance of feel and composure while keeping body roll in check. All RDX models now feature redesigned center-stack controls and a new standard rearview mirror with an integrated rear-camera display. Additional ambient lighting and standard Bluetooth and USB connections have been installed, although all told, the interior still doesn't match the sense of occasion presented by the Mercedes-Benz GLK or Audi Q5.
The same can be said for the exterior, which wears new front and rear bumpers, subtly revised lighting elements, and the new corporate beak, as well as new 10-spoke, 18-inch wheels. However, for just $36,430 loaded, the front-drive RDX is a terrific bargain that you don't have to live in the Sunbelt to appreciate.

#19 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2009
The wine exhibits a pronounced floral aroma along with chamois leather and plum preserves. In the mouth the tannins are extremely supple with enough acidity to lift the fruit profile and add consideration length to the wine's finish. A conservative but appropriate alcohol of 13.7% keeps everything in harmonious balance.
Shows loads of pepper, beef, dark berry, teriyaki, mineral and spice. Intense, distinctive, full-bodied and focused, this is so complex and well-proportioned that all the flavors work together seamlessly. Drink now through 2015."
94 Points
Wine Spectator
"Deep ruby color. Perfumed aromas of spicy red and dark berries, baking spices and incense. Lush, silky and sweet, with nicely delineated raspberry, blackberry and floral pastille flavors. Slightly tough tannins build on the finish, which repeats the sweet red fruit qualities. This is showing complexity already.

Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor.

Page Two thinks the future of the nation is now! In 1971, George Allen was brought in as coach for the Washington Redskins. He immediately began to make trades for tried and true veterans in place of the rookies. He made 81 during his days as head coach and turned the team around. He went from 6-8 to 9-4 in one year and the wins kept coming.
And so it is with the USA. The losses keep mounting. And it is time for a new coach. A moderator had absolutely no business correcting Romney and was, in fact, herself wrong when she made an egregious error in blatantly making an erroneous statement in calling Romney wrong when in fact he was right. It is not the moderator's job to keep a score card or to skew the outcome of a debate to suit their needs.
... President of the United States is a job of great distinction and respect, not a piece of paper to keep golf scores and vacation schedules on. Israel, who is our most trusted ally in the Middle East, is constantly begging for our help but is being spat upon as though we want to their hasten their demise, and to what purpose? If we lose Israel, it will be time for the USA to hunker down as our own allies will not protect us. More later from Page Two.

Leadership change? That implies we have an ounce of leadership NOW which we DO NOT. We need leadership PERIOD. Romney has been more PRESIDENTIAL in all 3 debates, not a snivelling, arrogant, insulting narcissist like our current "leader".
