Like Boise, Detroit is a bike town that you don't hear much about, until now… While that's an iPad add, the story is still great and shareable.
First glimpsed at NAHBS, ENVE's new Mountain Fork is a rigid, carbon fibre design that shares all the industry leading technology and craftsmanship of the companies road and cyclocross forks with some innovative features thrown in. The tapered steerer (1.5"-1.125") MTN fork has a carbon fibre mini-fender that has an integrated guide to neatly handle brake hose management without the hassle of internal routing. In wet or muddy conditions, the fender is just big enough to limit the amount that the front tyre casts off into your face. In dry conditions, the fender can be removed and replaced with pieces to fair in the attachment points and hold the hose in place. The other distinct feature is a two-position "chip" axle system. The rounded, rectangular chips fit into an eye at either fork tip. A 15mm thru-axle interface is machined into the chip off-center. With the axle in the rear position, the MTN fork has 44mm of rake (470mm axle to crown); the forward position gives 52mm of rake (472mm a-c). The a-c and variable rake make the MTN adaptable to a wide range of wheel sizes and frame geometries.
Why would you want a $625 rigid fork? Well, there are still riding conditions where a rigid fork will outperform a suspension fork, and even if your fork has a lockout, the MTN fork will steer more precisely while weighing perhaps less than half the weight (711gr with fender).
I kinda wonder if custom builders are going to jump on this item for monster-cross or big-tyre gravel grinders. The fork has 88mm of tyre clearance, much bigger than a typical cyclocross fork. The 470-472mm height is far taller though, so you wouldn't want to retrofit this fork to a CX frame (395mm a-c seems to be a de facto standard for cyclocross forks). But I could slap this fork on my Giant XTC 27.5 and have an 18-lbs bike with more clearance and rubber than my CX bikes.
Take Solace against a guardrail
In Issue 15, Bike Hugger contributor Patrick Brady reviews the Scott Solace and found that
Finally, we're catching up to the idea that many of us might be happier on a bike other than the ones being raced at the Tour of Flanders.
I asked Nic Sims, Scott's Director of Marketing to tell me more about the bike's "zones." He said
The top half of the bike is the comfort Zone you can think of it as the area of the bike that as a rider we have the most contact points that will feel bumps etc so in this area we have worked to develop the most forgiving ride the big noticeable area is the seatstays, very thin which allow some vertical flex. But you need a bike to move forward and this is through pedaling which is the lower region of the bike or Power Zone, you hear talk about lateral stiffness and this is important as this is the side to side load that pedaling causes, so the better the lateral stiffness the more efficient the bike will be. The Solace has blended both worlds to offer a bike that has excellent pedaling efficiency and amazing comfort.
The bike also has Asymmetric rear end – drive side chain stay is up to 2mm taller than non drive side depending on size, the bottom of the Drive side seat stay diameter is up to 3mm bigger than the opposing stay depending on size, this is to take into account the power forces delivered to a bike comes from the right hand side. We also utilize Size specific tubes and layups – Other companies are talking about doing this now but we have had it for over a year. Tube dimensions change for each size, the seat stays on a 58 are 1mm thicker than on a 49, the top tube is 1.5 mm thicker than a 49 and the down tube is 3mm thicker. The head tube gets extra reinforcement on the bigger sizes, the fork comes in two different layups, the down tube gets a stiffer lay up on the bigger sizes and the seat tube get softer lay up on the smaller sizes.
So that means, the Solace is a performance, comfort carbon bike. That's what the industry is chasing these days, to find the right mix of layup – the new Tarmac is after this goal too. As Patrick said, for the rest of us to ride, all day, if we want.
I rode the Solace too, threw it into corners, and slammed into the biggest hit on the pavement I could find. Over the bumps, the frame "cantilevered," and for the rest of the ride, performed as good as expected.
Read Patrick's review on your iOS device or the Web for $4.99 an issue and $14.00 a year.
Casual cyclists and mtn bikers often rail against the snobbery of uptight roadies…what with their slavish dedication to Euro-cool trends, to say nothing of their condescending enforcement of "group ride rules". But isn't that society in general? When many individuals must coexist in limited space, our social etiquette becomes more elaborate, and the magnified consequences of an individual's undesirable behaviours prompts the group to collectively police itself.
Take aerobars for instance. Sure, Tony Martin and Fabian Cancellara are impossibly cool when using them, but think twice about trying to emulate these heroes while on the group ride. FUNNY….er, I mean bad things can happen.
FWIW: anyone wanna have fun guessing where the incident in the video occurred? I have an educated guess based on 5 clues. My guess after the jump
I think it's Australia based on:
1) Cyclists and cars are using left side of the road
2) Crashing cyclist has his bike with right lever to front brake (common in UK and Oz)
3) Time code on video is last month which is relevant to:
4) Arm warmers on cyclists (since it's colder in southern hemisphere in July)
5) Palm trees in background
Speedplay Zero Pave pedal starts shipping, but is the SYZR offroad pedal just a hoax?
Speedplay announces that their Zero Pave pedal has begun shipping. Hooray! For 500 bucks (for ti spindle version) you too can own the road pedal for riding in conditions in which you might have to foot down into mud or dirt, but you don't plan to walk or run off the bike. After all, with the Pave Zero, you're still wearing a 3-bolt metal cleat with no traction on shoe with no tread. Simply put, this is a pedal system that makes it easier to get back on the bike and in the pedals, not to be easier to get around off the bike, Because that's why this pedal exists…because Speedplay-sponsored pro teams demanded a system that debris and dirt couldn't hinder ingress/egress. The professional riders, loathe to change something as personal as their shoe/pedal system, would clearly balk at using mtb shoes and pedals for just a couple races in the spring, like Paris-Roubaix and Strada Bianca. But for the majority of us non-Pro Tour riders and racers, we'd probably just use a 2-bolt cleat/pedal and a walkable shoe for a gravel grinder.
What I would be sooooooo much happier to see is a mtb pedal that feels and supports like a good road pedal….something like what the Speedplay SYZR promises to do. The problem is that Speedplay has been promising this pedal since at least 2008. At Interbike that year, I snapped this photo of a prototype pedal. I was told that the pedals would ship after the first of the year. Then I was told the same thing the next two Interbikes. Frankly I've lost track of how many times those pedals "would be shipping in three months." Most recently, Speedplay displayed yet another update to the design at this year's Sea Otter Classic.
Listen, I'm all for thoroughly developing a product before selling it to consumers, but this is just ridiculous. Still, I do hope the SYZR finally makes it to market, because if it performs anywhere close to the hype, it should be awesome.

Bowel & Cancer Research
Bowel & Cancer Research is a charity that funds ground-breaking research into bowel cancer and other bowel diseases.
The central vision of the charity is that no-one should die of bowel cancer, have to live with chronic bowel disease or face life with a permanent stoma.
With this in mind, we also raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer and other diseases, challenging taboos, and encourage and support people to get more involved in research. Through these activities we aim to Save and Change lives.
Bowel & Cancer Research: The Future
Our commitment to research into bowel cancer and related diseases has driven us, along with our partners at Barts & the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, to fund and deliver the UK's first National Centre for Bowel Disease and Surgical Innovation (NCBRSI). It became operational at the end of March 2012. The centre features a unique and cutting edge human tissue laboratory and will bring together a wide range of the most current research disciplines in one facility.
Saving Lives and Changing Lives
Linking with the NCBRSI, we pursue our aim to Save and Change Lives through research by funding two programmes
- Saving Lives: improving survival rates for bowel cancer sufferers through pioneering research into the spread and behaviour of cancer in humans.
- Changing Lives: investigating the causes, effects and treatment of bowel diseases other than cancer, specifically chronic diseases, such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease and chronic symptoms, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome and, through pioneering innovations in surgery and device development, improve the quality of life of patients. In particular we aim to eliminate the need for patients to rely upon a stoma.
We give small "pump priming" grants for 12-18 months enabling researchers to investigate their ideas and gather the data for major grant applications and also commit to funding a national research fellowship, open to researchers around the UK for a piece of work which fits with the main themes of the NCBRSI.
Learn your BCA
We can save lives if everyone who has the symptoms of bowel cancer goes to the GP to get checked out. Our campaign "Learn your BCA" focuses on the 3 major signs, Bleeding from the bottom, Change in bowel habits, Abdominal pain. We know that it's not pleasant often to talk openly about such things but catching bowel cancer early can make the difference between life and death and no one should ignore these signs.
What a Bummer
We take our research funding very seriously, but because people are often reluctant to think or talk about bowel function, our 'What a Bummer' campaign aims to bring out the fun side of bottoms. Most people know at least one "bum joke", so please visit the What a Bummer website where you can not only read others but also submit your own bottom related jokes. Together we can "kick bowel cancer up the arse"!

The Business of Photography
Earlier this week, Trudy of Trushots fame posted a terrific blog entitled "So…How Do Photographers Learn The Business?" In it she asks where photographers go to learn about the business of photography especially in a world where the unending debate of Canon-Nikon, Mac-PC etc makes up a large portion of the online photography sphere. What about when a photographer asks the question and the response is "your photography is not good enough?", even though the average photographer with great business sense often as a healthier business than the great photographer with average business sense.
Having some basic business knowledge from the get-go will stand you in good stead. If you're considering professional photography as a career or vocation, if possible, look at taking some kind of small business course to give you a grounding in the fundamentals. Even something as elementary as a 12 week course at a community college will more than pay for itself very quickly. A step up from there is obviously a path of study of longer duration. This may be useful if you're able to dedicate the time needed, but reality and responsibilities suggest that unless you are college-aged and about to embark on tertiary studies for the first time, it probably won't happen. So where should the aspiring photography business owner turn?
Let's break it down a bit into different elements that go into making up a photography business. As well as the areas common to all small businesses such as tax, insurance, business licensing, registration etc, there are some additional areas specific to photography. I'm not going to discuss the aforementioned items such as tax and insurance because it differs from place to place and what's required in my location may be completely wrong information for yours. If you have a local small business association or the like, look into the resources they provide.
General Photography Business
There are two must-have books for a photographer in business. These should be read before you even start operating as a business, and kept handy because you'll be constantly referring to them. In my own experience, I've learnt more about the business of photography through these two sources than anywhere else.
Best Business Practices for Photographers, Second Edition
ASMP Professional Business Practices in Photography, 7th Edition
Once you've worked your way through those, consider also The Photographer's Market Guide to Building Your Photography Business by Vik Orenstein
Photography Associations
Photography trade associations and groups provide invaluable advice for members. I'm a member of Editorial Photographers and there is a lot of active member-only discussion in the forums there that provides valuable advice and assistance.
The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) is another recommended organization. Despite the A part of the name, you don't have to be American to join and they have a lot of general information that's applicable to photographers everywhere. Their website also has a substantial archive of freely available information that you don't need to be a member to read.
It's probably impossible to compile a complete list of useful organisations that will be relevant to everyone but some others I do know of include :
National Press Photographers Association (USA)
Professional Photographers of America (USA)
American Photographic Artists (USA)
American Society of Picture Professionals (USA)
Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (USA)
British Press Photographers Association (UK)
Master Photographers Association (UK)
Advertising, Commercial and Magazine Photographers of Australia (Aust)
Some of the above associations are open to photographers internationally, so if you're based in a country that's different to the association you are interested in, check them out anyway because you may be eligible.
Loose networks of photographers in a particular marketplace are also worth looking into. Something as simple as a monthly happy hour or other informal meetup of some of the working photographers can be useful.
Marketing and Promotion
It doesn't matter how good you are if nobody sees your work. Posting to Flickr, Facebook or your own blog is only part of the story. A busy photo buyer simply doesn't have time to browse hundreds or thousands of blogs in the hope that they find something useful. They may see your work on your blog AFTER you've made contact with them but it's unlikely they'll find you, unless they have nobody who is able to meet their needs already. I can tell by the number of inquiries I get by email looking for photographers in certain fields here in Taiwan that the photographers in those fields are not doing the marketing necessary and are not reaching the right people. If they were, I wouldn't be getting the inquiries. For the record, where possible I put the buyer in contact with someone who can help them, and I'd encourage all photographers to do the same. When you get an inquiry for something outside your speciality, if you know someone who does shoot in that field, pass it on.
As I was saying before I got sidetracked, marketing and promotion is all about getting your work in front of the right person. The absolute best advice I've ever found about how to coordinate a multi-faceted marketing strategy comes from Selina Maitreya. Her book How to Succeed in Commercial Photography: Insights from a Leading Consultant
helped me immensely in this regard. I shoot in the editorial field, so don't let the Commercial part of the title turn you off if you're not a commercial photographer. Selina's advice is relevant to all genres. Following on from her book is the MP3 series The View From Here with provides more comprehensive information and advice. You can buy it here with a 50% disount (disclaimer – I get a small commission if you buy from this link).
Recently released is Rodney Washington's eBook Eye On Marketing. that I reviewed last week. This has a number of easy to follow tips to get you started. Other books to consider are Elysse Weissburg's Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers
and from outside the photography field Lee Silbur's Self-Promotion for the Creative Person
Obviously, before you can put your book in front of the right person, you need to know who the right person is. There are a couple of different ways to go about that. If you're in the editorial market, the mastheads of magazines are your best friend. They will often tell you the name of the photo editor and in many cases, give you a contact email address. If they don't, you'll probably be able to find the required information on the magazine's website, probably listed under submission guidelines. Failing that, pick up the phone, call the magazine and ask who you should be dealing with.
For commercial work, you'll need to connect with the relevant art buyer or photo buyer at the various agencies. I don't shoot in the commercial field, so I can't offer much in the way of advice here except to point you towards Adbase and Agency Access which will get you on the right track, or start cold calling. A bit of Googling should direct you to the ad agencies that handle accounts that you want to shoot for and a phone call will get you the additional information you require.
For the retail sector – weddings, senior portraits etc, look to the resources in your community. Florists, hair salons, community centers and more are all avenues to investigate.
Online Resources
Trudy mentioned both Lighting Essentials and New Media Photographer in her post and those two sites are in my regular reading list as well. Other online resources that relate to the business of photography are :
A Photo Editor
Photoshelter's blog and webinars.
Blackstar Rising (disclaimer – I'm a contributor here).
Photo Attorney
Photo Business News and Forum
Don at Lighting Essentials has also addressed some of the questions Trudy raised. I suggest you check out his post about it.
You could also take a look at MIT's free online courses dealing with general business.
In addition to all of the above resources, being aware of the latest in copyright law as it applies to photography is necessary. Again, I'm not going to direct you to specific sites because it differs from country to country but for the biggest English-language markets, here is the US copyright office and here's the UK office.
I hope the links and resources in this post are useful to you. If you know of anything that I should add, let me know.

My pleasure, great job!
My pleasure, that was well deserved, with indeed a nice improvment form the first map!
I don't think it makes a huge difference, but I prefer with, it conveys to the viewer that there is more to the image than what is seen.
Thanks for the vote, and for the rep Bogie!

SEATTLE (AP) — A former hairdresser who had been charged with murder in the 2003 death of a man found fatally shot on Whidbey Island, Wash., has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge — rendering criminal assistance.
Island County authorities hope Peggy Sue Thomas will spend four years in prison after she is sentenced in February.
She was accused of plotting with her then-boyfriend, James Huden, to kill a man named Russ Douglas, who was found shot to death in a car shortly after Christmas 2003. Huden was convicted of first-degree murder last summer and sentenced to 80 years. Huden reportedly refused to testify against Thomas, whose trial was due to begin next week.
Prosecutor Greg Banks also tells The Seattle Times (http://is.gd/w41Ltn ) that a key prosecution witness was gravely ill.
Defense lawyer Craig Platt says Thomas maintains her innocence. He says the plea she entered Thursday gives her much-needed relief from a case that has dogged her for nearly a decade.
Thomas was arrested in July 2011 on her houseboat near Farmington, N.M.

Logan: I can't do this anymore, Veronica. [Veronica looks at him in confusion] You know, I've been thinking… this isn't working. And I don't think I quite measure up to the person you want me to be and… I just can't take feeling like a disappointment anymore.
Veronica: Logan, I don't…
Logan: [interrupts her] Wait, let me get this out okay? The other thing… you told me you weren't built to let people help you.
Veronica: That's not exactly what I said…
Logan: It's close. And you know what? I'm not built to stand on the sidelines. [Veronica nods] And I think we have a choice. I think we can take a tough, but survivable amount of pain now…or stay together and deal with unbearable pain later. So I vote for the pain now. [They both start to tear up] But I'm always here… if you need anything. [kisses her on the forehead] But you never need anything.

Character Meme: Veronica Mars
"You know what they say about Veronica Mars: she's a marshmallow"
How I feel about this character: Oh, Veronica. Veronica, Veronica, V-er-on-i-ca. Oh, how I love you. Like the deepest realm of love. Ok, how do I feel about Veronica Mars?! I love her. She's my spirit animal. I dream daily that I could be half the person she is. She's amazingly funny, but she has a really good heart at the same time and she's always looking after her friends. I worship the ficticious ground she walks on.
All the people I ship romantically with this character: Logan. I like Piz too, but on the overall sense, Veronica's only supposed to be with Logan… I love Logan… Oh, Logan…
My non-romantic OTP for this character: Keith!!!! And Wallace and Mac…
Unpopular opinion: I did really like Piz and Veronica together, everyone hated them, but I thought they were cute as because Piz is so adorable. But in my defence, I loved Logan the most, and if they knew the show was going to end when it did, I know they would have ended up together….
One thing I wish would happen with this character: Yo, Warner Brothers, why you no make a VM movie yet?! You think there's no market for it?! Are you freaking insane?! I would watch that movie a 100 times over. a 1000 times over. 100000 times over. The only thing I wish would happen with Veronica is that she would come back to me!

I laugh at people that claim that black women aren't funny. Seriously it makes me fucking lol. In my mind someone that says some lol-centric garbage like that should not be taken seriously. Ever. Things like that- "Women aren't funny." "Black women aren't funny." Etc. Garbage. Etc. Reeks of laziness and ignorance and of the 1950's. I am not here for them. I am too grown for that. Comedy is so incredibly subjective it seems so stupid to argue about it.
That being said the recent conversations regarding black women in comedy have been a hot topic for the last 3 months. The statement of one person has sparked a "conversation" or a need to "prove" that "black women are funny" to idiots that don't need our worth proven to them in the first place.
Now there are so many blog posts and news reports and articles on the internet discussing and analyzing black female comediennes. There are articles along the lines of "Black Female Comediennes That You Just Need to Get Behind!!!!" or a "Women of Color That, Because of their Skin Deserves To Be Known!!!!!" And while I am sure many people mean well, a large part of this conversation seems forced and insincere. That's kind of the side effect of the media getting a hold of something. Keep in mind that a part of me is grateful to be a female POC that is sometimes considered "funny". PLEASE understand that. But do you see how this conversation can also be seen as negative? Putting us in a separate category because of the color of our skin? The underlying tone of these articles trying to "prove" that black women are funny? The suddenness of this "conversation" yells "See! Here's a black girl! Here's one! See?! See?!" I'm just- I am so tired of it.
And I know that I am black and a woman and a comedienne but often times I just want to be known as a human doing stuff. I am so many things. I want to be known as like, a person. Not as a "trendy" topic of conversation. Put me out there with everyone else. Like- with all of the other humans. Do you get what I am saying?

The rain then snow, add in below freezing temperatures and you've got the perfect recipe for icy conditions Tuesday morning.
This is a Sioux City parking lot Tuesday morning, lots of ice and the roads are slick.
There have been several accidents, including a three car crash on I-29 near the Floyd Boulevard exit.
Just after 1 a.m. Tuesday morning, police closed the northbound lanes of the interstate for about an hour while crews cleaned up the wreck.
Sioux City police say paramedics took one person to the hospital with minor injuries.
It's been cleared now and the highway is back open, but some of those side streets are still icy.

Junior Julius Marshall - Men's Basketball - Evergreen Athlete of the Week
December 01, 2003
by James J. Portune
OLYMPIA, Wash. - For transfer players, those who have played at other colleges before coming to The Evergreen State College, the transition can be tough. In less than two months they are expected to learn head coach John Barbee's offensive and defensive system and have an immediate impact.
Issaquah native Julius Marshall (Issaquah H.S.) has not only lived up to the expectations but has exceeded them. A 13-point, 8-rebound, performance against Pacific Lutheran University and a 20-point game against Malaspina University at the Lewis-Clark State KOZE Clearwater Casino Tournament in Lewiston, Idaho, this last weekend earned Marshall Evergreen Athlete of the Week.
"With the other players scoring it opened up Julius," said Barbee. "He does everything. When he is on the floor he tries to the correct things."
Standing 6'4", typical size for a four-year college shooting guard or small forward, you would expect to see Marshall playing out on the offensive wing. Against Malaspina on Saturday (Nov. 29), Marshall showed he is a long-range threat by hitting 5-of-5 three point shots. But where Marshall does most of his damage is in the paint against much taller post players. In the season opener at Saint Martin's, Marshall pulled down a game high 10 rebounds. Friday (Nov.28) against PLU, Marshall lead the team again with a game high 8 rebounds.
"Julius has always had a good noise for the ball," said Barry Janusch, his former coach at Olympic College and current Athletic Director. "His ability to rebound made him a prolific scorer at Issaquah High School and for us."
It has been two seasons since Marshall last competed in a college game. Last year he reshirted at Harris Stowe State College in St. Louis, Missouri. He sat out the 2001-02 season. His freshman (1999-00) and sophomore (2000-01) years he played for Coach Janusch at Olympic in Bremerton, Wash.
Coach Barbee recruited Marshall to Evergreen after seeing him play in open gym over the summer.
The tell-tall sign that Marshall played well in Idaho was his selection to the five player All-Tournament team.

Healthcare Companies That Made Investors Rich in 2012
Shas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Reading my article's title, you might go - who cares? Who cares what stocks made people rich in 2012? Spending 20 minutes reading an article on history is not going to make my future golden, is it?
And you would be wrong…
As a matter of fact, some of the best and smartest investors out there put a lot of faith in the predictive nature of past history. So, if a certain set of stocks reaped high benefits for investors last year, we study those stocks to get an indication of why they did as well as they did. We are not simply focusing on those stocks per se. We are not saying - these stocks did good last year, so buy them this year. No, that is plain stupid and lazy investment strategy; what we are saying, however, is let's find out why these stocks did well, which, in turn, will help us find other stocks this year that might do as well.
As an investor, your main aim is to multiply your wealth and while past performance is not a sure shot indicator of future returns, it does provide you with a basic groundwork to build upon. While picking stocks for your portfolio, it is advisable to analyze them on a sector basis. This approach lets you pick the best stocks from diverse industries and helps you diversify the risk profile of your portfolio. Another benefit of sector analysis is that it facilitates apples-to-apples comparison since all the different sectors have their specific macro environment. One of the most challenging sectors to analyze is pharmaceutical industry. Most of the companies have only a few or may be just one product to draw its major part of revenue from. Let's have a look at the pharma companies which performed extremely well in the past 52 weeks and have solid fundamentals as well.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN): The stock not only generated 248% return in the past 52 weeks, but it also has healthy cash balance to help its future course of action. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals consistently increased throughout the year and it oscillated in the range of $50.27 and $188.95. The company started the year by settling a patent litigation with Genentech for US sales of EYLEA injection. Later in the year, it received FDA and EU approval for its colorectal cancer therapy Zeltrap. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals will collaborate with Bayer Healthcare to market this new treatment in various markets. Its stock trades at a P/E ratio of 93.59, which makes it more expensive than many of its peers, but given the strong potential for its therapies, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is likely to perform well in the coming year as well and should be a strong contender for inclusion into your portfolio.
Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD): This $57.97 billion company provided 95.69 percent return in the last one year. Barring a sharp down movement in late February, the stock maintained its positive momentum throughout the year. The company approved 2 for 1 split, which will be effective from January 7 next year. Gilead Sciences stock mainly moved up on the expectations from its HIV therapy Stribild. Further, the company also has a strong drug candidate for Hepatitis C. These potential drugs will help Gilead Sciences in making up the shortfall caused by soon-to-be expired patents related to its superstar sellers. The stock is currently in strong bullish phase and created its new 52 weeks high of $77.12. Its lowest price point in the last one year stood at $36.98. Gilead Sciences is also looking to consolidate its position with acquisitions and merger. The company reported buying YM BioSciences. This acquisition will help the company gain a foothold in bone-marrow disorder therapy area. Gilead Sciences paid $510 million to acquire YM BioSciences, which is currently working on CY387, a therapy to treat myelofibrosis. The company has strong capital base, healthy drug pipeline and a leading position in AIDS/HIV market.
HCA (NYSE: HCA): The stock appreciated 59 percent in past 52 weeks. It trades at a very attractive P/E ratio of 4.66, which makes it one of the most cheaply priced healthcare stocks. HCA Holdings boasts of a solid market cap of $14.53 billion and 53 percent of its stock is held by institutional investors. The company announced its plan to make a secondary offering, under which two of its private equity partners Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Bain Capital will sell 32 million shares. While the market has reacted negatively to the news, analysts are considering the news to be positive. HCA Holdings is improving its operations and last month reported $360 million worth of quarterly profit. Its revenue also increased 11 percent. Apart from capital appreciation, you can also look forward to receiving good periodic returns in the form of dividends. Recently, it announced special dividend of $2 per share. HCA Holdings also paid dividend in October and February. While there is still some uncertainty about the impact of new healthcare regulations on the fortunes of the company, the effect is likely to be largely positive. The stock has been snapped up by noted investor John Paulson as it constituted one of his biggest stock purchases for the period ended on June 30.
While picking a stock on the basis of its past stock market performance, it is imperative to find the cause and effect relationship. If you ignore this rule, you may end up buying low quality operator driven stocks. The above stocks share some common factors such as robust financial health and strong outlook. That tells me these are not hyped up stocks that will go down without reason.

Cucumber Surprise
Posted by Renee under Everyday Living
[3] Comments
"Don't let them die!!!" This ardent email plea for the lives of our cucumber plants comes in from Dov, away for most of the summer. The garden is our shared project. He knows I get preoccupied with work, and that he needs to do some long-distance gardening/nudging! "We need something to keep the cucs up!! There should be green grids in the garage somewhere."

Jimmie Johnson rallied to win his second career Daytona 500 on Sunday as the five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the final lap. Johnson also won the Great American Race in 2006. Fifty-four-year-old Mark Martin finished in third, followed by reigning Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski and Ryan Newman.
Pole sitter Danica Patrick finished in eighth place. The 30-year-old became the first woman ever to lead a lap at the Daytona 500 and also became the 13th driver to lead a lap in both the Indy and Daytona 500. Patrick led a total of 6 laps yesterday at Daytona.
Race two of the Sprint Cup season is coming up Sunday with the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.

We started 2014 with extremely frigid temperatures in the Midwest. While it could be killing bugs and even having a positive impact on soil composition and moisture conditions, I have to say Mother Nature is pushing the norms. Will supply outpace demand? Producers with large amounts of unpriced corn inventory on the farm might have painted themselves into a corner. Granted, they can hold off selling for a little while, but come early summer, the end users will know they can wait if acres get planted and trend-line yields are expected.
I know many are saying, "You bears are always negative." I have to admit I was bearish during the spring of 2011 and 2012, and some producers got burned being bearish unless they exercised good risk-management practices. This year will be no different.
In my opinion, producers should take advantage of early reasonable prices, but if serious concern about acres or yield develops between May and June, you must adjust risk from a net short futures or cash position to a long put position. Having a plan that integrates crop insurance with futures and option strategies plus cash sales is a must this year in order to get through the year with limited negative financial impact on the bottom line.
Corn 12345 6 78910
The price bias from January to July clearly favors the uptrend, and producers know it! Depending on how we figure the numbers, lead-month corn values in July are normally 108% of the yearly average price. This tendency for higher prices and the perceived high costs invested in the 2013 crop have producers holding a high percentage of the crop still unpriced. While I don't have exact numbers as I write this, I would not be surprised if more than 60% of the 2013 crop is unpriced.
While producers are inclined to try to starve the market, I have to say the opportunity for the corn market is limited. While lead-month prices below $4 is difficult to argue, it's very difficult to argue summer values much higher than $4.75 at this time.
It's also hard to get producers to price next year's product when there is a large amount of unpriced inventory on farm. This is the situation developing for 2014.
We cannot count on unexpected demand growth in exports, feed usage or ethanol. We will be hard pressed to meet USDA's initial estimates, as it is. As the market focuses on spring planting, projected planted acres and yield potential, I fear producers might wait until July for price confirmation, and the highs will have passed them by.
If we figure the average lead-month high for corn since 1970, the low can be projected around 25% lower. For example, assume an early 2014 lead-month high of $4.75. If prices stay around the average, you could project a lead-month corn contract average low to be $3.57—before basis adjustment. If acreage and yield indicate potential production at more than 13.9 billion, carryover will increase in 2014, and sharply lower values will be needed to clear inventory.
Strategy: Dump old crop inventory and, if upside risk protection is desired, maintain ownership in a very conservative, limited-cost call strategy.
For new crop, be at least 50% priced for 2014 once December corn gets above $4.50. Once your crop is in the ground, move toward 100% of an average crop. I prefer being long deep-in-the-money puts until we get past late June, then roll into cash or futures sales. If you have to sell excess corn off the combine, immediately lock up fall basis. It could be really mean if corn yields exceed 162 bu. per acre!

For Walter Tejada, raising chickens, turkeys and even pigs in the backyard was just business as usual during his childhood in El Salvador, a far cry from hyperurbanized Arlington, where he now serves as the vice chairman of the county board.
But Tejada is nonetheless leading a charge on bringing "urban agriculture" to the county, which includes everything from rooftop gardens to farmers markets to, yes, chickens in the backyard.
Backyard hens are part of a trend that's seen success in urban centers like Seattle and Portland, Ore., Tejada said, and the idea is picking up steam around the region. Fairfax County officials are looking into easing restrictions on backyard hens, and Arlington County is starting a task force in March to consider urban agriculture issues, including backyard chicken coops.
It's already legal to raise chickens in the backyard in both Arlington and Fairfax. But Arlington residents must keep their poultry 100 feet from their lot line. In Fairfax, the restrictions are even more stringent -- if you have a hankering for fresh eggs every morning, you need a two-acre lot to house your hens.
Still, a group of residents in Arlington say they're prepared to push the county board to ease restrictions on backyard hens, since very few lots in the county meet current requirements. The Arlington Egg Project began an online petition asking the county to modify local laws to allow more people to keep hens in their yards, while restricting the number of chickens allowed per house and banning roosters. Petitioners say initiatives like backyard hens "help protect the natural environment by reducing dependence on industrial-scale farming."
Other residents have raised concerns that chickens would attract rats and invite infestations, Tejada said.
Any legislation or zoning changes needed to allow more people to keep chickens are a long way off, Tejada said, though he's hopeful that the task force will find ways to mitigate rat concerns and teach locals how to raise chickens safely.
And backyard chickens,Tejada says, are just part of the county's overarching initiative to encourage Arlington residents to go greener, reduce food prices and promote healthy living.
"Even though there's a lot of concrete and asphalt here, we can still develop strategies for healthy food, farmers markets and food affordability," he said. "In these urban towers of ours we can find ways to be more green."

British singer Amy Winehouse will re-marry her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil in St. Lucia. Read more on the troubled singers wedding plans below.
Amy Winehouse took off to St. Lucia last year to put her drinking and drugs behind her. But during her stay she was photographed with several different men, which reportedly caused Blake to file for divorce.
Their divorce was finalized in July 2009 but the couple reunited in September and plan to marry again, against their family's wishes.
"Amy said 'Everything feels right with Blake now. As soon as he's cleared to leave the country and his drug rehab is done it will happen'," said a source.
Blake is currently completing a drug addiction treatment program in England following his release from prison last year. Fielder-Civil was serving time for his attack on a pub landlord in 2007.
Amy Winehouse, 26, was recently unhappy about a documentary that aired in which her father, Mitch, discussed his daughter.
Amy took to her Twitter saying:
'WHY don't my dad WRITE a SONG when something bothers him instead of going on national tv? An you thought YOUR parents were embarassing [sic].'
Mitch said his daughter was aware of the documentary but that her comments were "fair enough".

February 14, 2013, 1:07 PM — Canonical made quite a splash at the start of this year when it announced Ubuntu for phones, but--apart from what it demonstrated at the time--we're still waiting both for the downloadable image it promised to provide for the Galaxy Nexus and for specifics on actual devices.
Many outlets have reported that Ubuntu phones are due in October, but that's still far from certain. Work on apps, however, has clearly begun.
[How Apple, Google and Samsung could lose the smartphone market and New smartphone OSes bet on Web techs and improved UIs]
In the meantime, those who can't bear the wait now have at least some solace: an Android app you can download today that gives you at least an early taste of what Ubuntu Linux for phones will really be like.
Intrigued? Read on.
'Ubuntu Phone Experience'
Targeting both high-end superphones and entry-level basic smartphones, Ubuntu for phones is particularly notable for the way it uses all four edges of the screen, according to Canonical's early demonstrations.
There have already been published guides to replicating the interface's basic appearance using themes on Android, but none I've seen so far have included that fundamental behavior.
Enter Ubuntu Phone Experience, a free app that's readily downloadable and lets you get a more accurate taste of what the real thing will reportedly be like.
A free download
Posted by members of developer site XDA, Ubuntu Phone Experience is designed to offer a gesture-based experience similar to that promised by Ubuntu for phones, according to an Android Community report.

Even though Chris Kreider scored five goals in the Stanley Cup playoffs last spring after leaving Boston College, his first official regular-season NHL goal did not come until Tuesday night against the Devils. Returning to the lineup after a five-game absence, Kreider wired a top-shelf laser past Martin Brodeur 6:28 into the third period---the Rangers' lone goal in a 3-1 defeat at the Prudential Center. Brad Richards recorded the lone assist on the play, making a series of gorgeous moves before feeding Kreider on left wing for the score. Kreider, the Rangers 2009 top pick, officially netted his first goal in only his fourth game. Two nights later J.T. MIller, the Rangers No. 1 pick in 2011, scored in his second NHL game.

I brought these wrenches because I needed sizes above 18 mm. When they arrived I was very happy with the weight, length and polish of these wrenches. I found 19, 21, 22 mm common sizes for my Toyota and I am glad I spent extra on polished cross force wrenches since this set will last a lifetime and perfectly supplements my 12 PC Craftsman metric combination set (7-18 mm).
Hattiesburg, MS
via sears.com
These are poor quality wrenches, and all of the Craftsman wrenches are now made in China. The metal is such poor quality that they have oversized the open ends to the point they look like lobster claws and impede access, and the box ends have a similar excess of material. A very poor product at a very poor price, considering the USA-made wrenches were sold at the same price point.
Winsted, CT
via sears.com
I had this set years ago but was stolen from me. Mine were made in the USA. I had to get this set as a replacement. Its now made in China. Anyway, the sizes 20-24 are still nice and very comparable to what I had The 19mm however is not. Its inferior. The open end part of it is too narrow. The old one was wider which was great because I used it for tie rods, requiring a lot of strength. When you have a narrow open end, it gets dented(the jaw) easily. The new one is about 3/4 as wide as the old one. The other sizes are comparable. iTs just the 19mm that I dont' like.......
Riverside, CA
via sears.com
These wrenches are a great tool. They feel very sturdy in your hand on a tight bolt or nut. However, the open end of this wrench is somewhat large compared to a standard Craftsman wrench so they are not great for real tight spots. Don't let that discourage your purchase though, most of the time when you have a bolt or nut large enough for these sized wrenches, there's enough room for the wrench too. Great product, just make sure they suit your needs first.

In 1949, Gray Parks and Scott Shipe were West Point cadets. They took a train to Union Station for President Harry Truman's inauguration. They even marched in the parade.
"It was quite an honor to be in the parade as far as I was concerned," says Parks.
Jim Upp was also there. He was a 16-year-old D.C. Boy Scout assigned the duty of helping to line the inaugural parade route.
"It was fun because you had the best eye view of the whole parade as it came by," says Upp.
All three of these men who participated in the 1949 inauguration are neighbors. They all live at Greenspring retirement community in Springfield. They all remember it being quite cold on that day in 1949.
"The cars were coming by the front of the parade," says Upp. "Off went the coats when they passed. Up went the salute. Of course, it was a three-fingered salute at the time."
"Still is - only I can't hold my fingers together anymore," says Shipe.
Yes, they caught a glimpse of the President.
"Yes, I vaguely saw him, but, mainly, I was concerned about these two buttons on the side of my hat," says Shipe. "It seemed like they were constantly tightening and giving me more of headache."
Parks and Shipe also remember Truman's visit to West Point to speak at their commencement in 1952. A pole with a clock on top had been freshly painted for the President's visit - until a cadet played a prank.
"He went out and painted the red stripe like a barber pole around the clock," says Parks.
Administrators were horrified, but the President seemed to get a kick out of it.
"President Truman apparently said if you catch the guy that did it, I am going to pardon him," says Parks laughingly. "This is one of the great things that's happened."

Since WWE may receive heat for the incident, Brie Bella issued a public apology for her wardrobe malfunction, where her nipple was exposed.
A picture of the Brooke Hogan wardrobe malfunction during the Impact Wrestling segment where she got married to Bully Ray.
The screen went blank temporarily during Monday Night Raw this week, as WWE quickly covered up a wardrobe malfunction that Aksana had during the big divas tag team match.
On the Kevin Steen Show, Davey Richards was asked about his tryout with WWE. The newest TNA star stated that he did not want to sign the developmental deal because he was not keen on moving to Orlando. He also revealed that he turned down the contract, as opposed to being rejected as rumored.
"Sitting in CLT airport at 4:42am, thinking about how me vs Masato Tanaka at WrestleCon may very well be the craziest match of my career."
- Kevin Steen
Kevin Steen has been booked for a huge match at WrestleCon, which is taking place in April in New Orleans. The former ROH Heavyweight Champion will be wrestling Masato Tanaka, a Japanese star and ECW legend who is returning to America just for the event.
Ring of Honor has issued a statement about Kevin Steen being banned from appearing on their shows. It also notes that anyone that attempts to help him will also be in trouble as well. While the story has some buzzing, it is simply a story line.
