Particularly interesting given the decline in stocks, the VIX (VXX -0.7%) is also sliding. The VIX nearly always rises when stocks decline as investors are willing to pay up for equity index options. Surely one of these gauges is getting it wrong.

This is an extract from Bill Luby's paid news email/letter: "I have received several inquiries about why the VIX was down with the DJIA down 128 points. The short answer is that yesterday's movement in the VIX anticipated some of today's selloff. Yesterday the SPX was down 0.99%, while the VIX was up 8.3%. Today the SPX was down 0.62%, while the VIX was down 0.5%. Both of these data points are outliers, but when one considers that the VIX typically moves about -4.2x of what the SPX does in percentage terms, if one looks at both days the SPX was down 1.55% and the VIX was up 7.8%, about -5x of the move in the SPX and right in line with historical norms."
Every day these derivative instruments sell the current VIX front month day and purchase the second month future. As long as the VIX futures are in contango then they are paying more for the 2nd month future thereby degrading the value of the instrument. These things only really explode when the VIX futures are in backwardation.
One more thing...this contango issue is why the hosts of these instruments warn you that the ultimate value of UVXY TVIX VXX is Zero . As long as VIX futures are in contango these will degrade to nothing or just keep reverse splitting so they can continue the downward path.
Simply put, the ^VIX is down today. Nothing is wrong with TVIX; everyone likes to make TVIX a punching bag in a bull market running on QE. If anything, blame the ^VIX. And if you're going to establish the casual relationship that short S&P = long TVIX, then you may need to do some more research on the VIX.

The way I see the VXX is purely out of naivety , Everyone is writing about contango's of which I find fascinating. My approach to VXX is simple it seems to me when the market goes down ( not always ) the VXX goes up i.e. today (10/23/12), So I am betting that the election will bring a market crash, and I am using the VXX to offset my losses.

i have only 8 total spots left - 1 for Wednesday due to a cancellation and 7 on Tuesday. ACT NOW
Please call or e-mail me for availability - reserve your spot now
firstname.lastname@example.com 603-490-8285
Since we are sold out of the Wednesday Session (16U/18U) any 16U or 18U players still wanting to register CAN sign up for Tuesday. The instruction is the same - one of Sue's motivational conversations is slightly different. i have 22 spots on Tuesday left
Message was edited by: Paul Gasparola
Looking for those last 10U-14U Players
see note
Only a few spots left
I didnt see on the flyer there is a 10U camp but the posting states 10U openings When is the 10U camp if any
There is no specific 10U day -one older 10U players that are 11 and be playing up are attending. We made the determination that based on her ability (discussion with coach and parents) that she would be able to gain a lot from the camp. It does come down in some cases to maturity for the younder players.
Okay thanks the girls on my team are 9 going on 10 years old. Thanks for the clarification.
No problem and glad you asked - When i do the camp next year we could add a 10U day - but it might be hard to get 60 players at that age focused for 5 hours.

Re: Credit Union Issues...
It definitely varies by institution. Don't be discouraged based on the experience with your credit union. You will have to do some research on BK Friendly CU's because they are definitely out there. Some only require 2 years post BK.some even less depending on overall score. I know Digital Federal Credit Union and Alliant Credit Union are bk friendly. They both pull Equifax. State Department Federal Credit Union is also bk friendly but I think it is 3 years post BK filing. There are some others that are bk friendly too. You would have to do your research.

Through suicide, Man will completely triumph over Death, over everything that alienates him from himself and that once used Death as pretence, because nothing was more sublime and wrong in the history of the social evolution of the human being than Death, which was and still is now, subconsciously the Self Absolute of the Man! And yet, we must live!
Sorin Cerin
Contributed by: norma
How else can we influence the social evolution or could we speed up the return of the man to the Sacred Self? We people cannot influence in any way the future evolution of mankind, because everything that is "meant" to happen will happen, because all of these Intended Occurrences are successions of the Accidental and Unique Occurrence. Since everything is already written, figuratively speaking we cannot go against destiny, nor react in one way or another. Even if we try to change the Illusion of our Life, it will only change depending on the Destiny to which it obeys and not on our illusory actions. Nevertheless, the fact that the man begins to wake up from the millennial numbness in which he was, he starts not to accept the bloody Christ, tortured on the wood of the cross of his own ineffable destiny is a good sign that destiny - and not man - gives to man.

It is difficult to impress on incoming students the importance of information literacy skills and concepts because:
The purpose of the BiblioBouts Project was to design, develop, and deploy a web-based game that undergraduate students play at the same time they use online tools for resource discovery and management and evaluate the game's effectiveness for teaching students information literacy skills and concepts and improving their classroom performance.
Game Over!
Because funding for BiblioBouts ended on September 30, 2012, we are no longer able to support requests for new games.

|(L - R) Craig Kyle and Greg Johnson at Wizard World Boston
This is the first of four direct to DVD animated features Marvel Productions will be producing over the next year and a half. Following the release of "Ultimate Avengers: The Movie" in February, its direct sequel, "Ultimate Avengers: The Movie 2" is tentatively slated for October. The next movie, and Iron Man origin piece, is scheduled to come out four or five months after "Ultimate Avengers 2," with a Dr. Strange title four to five months after that.
When asked about the content of the film, Kyle said that its "…largely the 'Ultimates' story, and it's obviously been adapted for turning a comic book into film, so not everything [made] it into the final story.
"There are certain characters that weren't included, but the bulk of them were." Kyle added.
"As much as it's about the ensemble, it really is Captain America's story," added Johnson.
The characters featured on the DVD will be Wasp, Giant Man, Captain America, the Hulk, Nick Fury, Thor, Iron Man and Black Widow. Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will not be in the first movie, but will most likely be in the sequel.
"Hawkeye isn't in the first movie," stated Kyle, "and the reason was only we're not going to put him in and not use him or just have him walk through a scene as a waste of an important character… If we're going to bring him in, he's going to make a difference-- he's going to matter."
The panel also showed Korean production house Dong Wu Studios' test animation, which got them the job of animating "Ultimate Avengers." A teaser trailer for the animated feature will be included on the upcoming DVD release of the live-action "Fantastic 4" movie followed.
Some key points from the Q&A:
- There will be bonus features on the DVD, and they are currently in production.
- A price point has not currently been set.
- A cast list for "Ultimate Avengers" will be made public sometime next month.
- A different animation studio will be used for each film. "[Each movie] will have its own look, its own story type and its own universe," said Kyle.
- Frank Paur ("Spawn" animated series, "Batman: the Animated Series") will be producing the Iron Man and Dr. Strange movies.
- When asked about the graphic content of the movie, Kyle said that it is not meant for Saturday morning television, but added it is not excessively violent or suggestive. "It's more than just the fact that we can ignore some… standards that dictate the things you cannot do on television," Kyle continued, "…But it was more of a freedom than 'hey, let's swear because we can' or 'let's show some risqu shots of Black Widow because we can.'
"And we did."
- Tony Stark's alcoholism will not be featured in the Iron Man DVD.
- When asked about the Dr. Strange DVD, Kyle said they looked "very closely" at J. Michael Straczynski's "Marvel Knights Strange" and "all of the old stuff as well."
- The animated features will not deter Marvel from making live-action theatrical releases later down the line.
- One fan asked, "Did you try to get Samuel L. Jackson to voice Nick Fury?"
"No," Kyle replied, "The honest answer is in voice over, you have great, great actors. And we didn't want to take away from who the characters are. We want it to sound like 'that's a great voice for Nick, that sounds like Nick Fury should sound,' not 'I couldn't forget Sam Jackson's performance as Nick Fury.'"
- When asked about the next round of projects, Kyle said that many Marvel properties are being considered. Hulk and Fantastic Four were mentioned.
- Character crossovers could potentially be down the line if there is enough demand.

Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal /ˈpsaɪ/ is a Canadian science fiction drama television series which was filmed in and around Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and aired 88 episodes over four seasons from 1996 to 2000. The presence of Dan Aykroyd opening and closing every episode and emphasizing the legitimacy of the organization it was inspired by led some viewers to take the show somewhat more seriously than intended, though it was in fact a scripted drama. Partly for this reason, in 1997, the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, then called the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, awarded Aykroyd a "Snuffed Candle" award, for "contributing to the public's lack of understanding of the methods of scientific inquiry." In 1996, Peter Aykroyd co-created the show with Christopher Chacon. Wikipedia

text: Expedia Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. My first earnings short-squeeze candidate is online travel company Expedia ( EXPE), which is set to release numbers on Thursday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Expedia to report revenue of $1.17 billion on earnings of $1.26 per share. Expedia is shooting to beat Wall Street estimates for the third quarter in a row. During the last quarter, it reported net income of 82 cents per share vs. Wall Street estimates of 62 cents per share, and in the quarter before, the company topped forecasts by 12 cents with a net income of 17 cents vs. consensus estimates of 5 cents per share. >>5 Stocks Hedge Funds Love -- and So Should You The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Expedia is pretty high at 10.9%. That means that out of the 101 million shares in the tradable float, 10.47 million shares are sold short by the bears. This is a decent short interest, so any positive earnings news could easily set off a large short squeeze post-earnings. From a technical perspective, EXPE is currently trading above its 200-day moving average and below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock recently ran into some stiff resistance at around $60 to $59 a share, and shares have subsequently dropped back below its 50-day to its recent low of $51.41 a share. During that slide lower, shares of EXPE have been making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. If you're bullish on EXPE, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades once it manages to break out above its 50-day at $54.53 a share, and then above some near-term overhead resistance at $56 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that registers near or above its three-month average volume of 3.1 million shares. If we get that action, then look for EXPE to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $59.90 to $60.29 a share post-earnings. I would simply avoid EXPE or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then drops below some near-term support at $51.41 to $50.47 a share with heavy volume. If we get that move, then EXPE will setup to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $43.56 to $43.44 a share. Prev 1 of 6 Next

Mexican Stocks: Grupo Mexico, Industrias CH, Penoles Decline
The following companies had unusual price changes in Mexico trading. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are as of 4 p.m. New York time.
The IPC index fell 0.8 percent to 35,380.53.
Grupo Mexico SAB (GMEXICOB MM), the country's largest mining company, slipped 2.8 percent to 37.70 pesos as copper fell for the first time in three days after figures showed inflation in China stayed above the government's target, signaling further monetary tightening that may curb metal demand. Copper futures for July delivery declined 12.9 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $3.9135 a pound on the Comex in New York.
Industrias CH SAB (ICHB MM), Mexico's largest steelmaker, dropped 2.2 percent to 42.86 pesos as commodity prices declined amid a strengthening dollar and concern that accelerating global inflation may curb economic growth and demand for steel. Chinese inflation rose 5.3 percent in April from a year earlier, exceeding the government's full-year target for a fourth straight month.
Industrias Penoles SAB (PE&OLES* MM), Mexico's largest silver producer, fell 3.7 percent to 401.79 pesos as silver tumbled 7.7 percent. Silver futures for July delivery fell $2.971 to $35.515 an ounce on the Comex. The metal gained 9.1 percent this week before today after shedding 27 percent last week.

Sounds like the outer pane of glass just has a crack. So long as the fundamental layer of LCD isn't compromised and bleeding, I'd seriously leave it alone. IF you're determined to get it fixed I would say do it legit.
The non legit is trying yourself--it may be a "can of worms". I've only ever succeeded in replacing batteries in 2nd gen nanos and similar. Also such a thing needs a good set of precision screwdrivers, a little real experience and knowledge so you know what you're doing, an antistatic wrist strap with good grounding (don't want a stray ZAP to fry anything), steady hands, and obviously a reliable source for replacement parts. Maybe support of nerds who physically hack items such as ipods found on blogs and forums.
Even so, success is far from guaranteed. You'll save money but is it worth the risk?
I should qualify myself: people have dumped off their ipods on me so I've had a few to practice or experiment on. Shaky proposition at best.
That's right, Bixby Snyder folks.

July 29 2011 04:28PM
When it comes to the Oilers' centre depth chart, it's easy to forget about Eric Belanger, who the organization added via free agency this summer. Shawn Horcoff had something of a bounce-back year playing with the kids, Sam Gagner's till quite young and of course Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' debut is highly anticipated. Add it all up and there seems to be little room for Belanger, who some have slotted for fourth-line duty.
I think Belanger's going to surprise.

The media landscape across the country has seen lots of movement that past few weeks, and there will be some in Edmonton on the TEAM 1260 this fall.

Edmonton will host most of the best under-20 players our country has to offer starting Wednesday August 3rd. Hockey Canada has invited 47 players to this year's camp; four goalies, 17 D-men and 26 forwards, but some of the invitees will likely be in the NHL in October, and won't be available to help Canada try and regain the gold medal after back-to-back silver medals.

When it comes to the relationship between an Edmonton Oilers GM and the fanbase, it can be a rocky road. What's that old song? Thin line between love and hate? What if we took all the anger, fury and confusion out of the conversation and looked at each transaction in a detached fashion? What would it look like?

Nice fucking all around, opened by bubble-butted German Katja Kassin, in a nice juicy dp with Joel Lawrence and Alec Knight; and closed by lovely brunette Sandra Romain getting her ass stretched wide by Sascha.

Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
The season here in Des Moines has had a hard time getting started this year. Bad weather, bad team and bad schedule; you're out!
Yesterday was an exception.
Sean Gallagher served up a tasty lunch in a nooner matinee at Principal Park on one of the very few days so far when the elements didn't cross-up the schedule makers.
After seven innings Gallagher had thrown 86 pitches, allowing one run on three hits with no walks and 12 strikeouts. All 12 K's were swinging, most of them on a nasty breaking ball.
His pitch counts by inning were as follows: 11, 13,13, 14, 16, 9 and 10.
They trotted him back out for the eighth, the only frame when he failed to fan anybody. He walked the leadoff man, erased him on a DP grounder, gave up a base hit and called it a day after 101 mostly carveaceous, to coin a word, pitches.
The lone run he allowed came on a 3-1 fastball that Chris Shelton swatted into the parking lot in the fourth [you might remember Shelton; the erstwhile Tiger who briefly led the majors in homers a couple of Aprils ago].
Gallagher's foils were the Oklahoma Redhawks, apprentices of the Texas Rangers. They came into the game with a record of 15-4.
Nelson Cruz, to name one, had been tearing it up and only been whiffed six times in nineteen games. Gallagher popped him up in the first, then fanned him in the fourth and seventh without ever throwing him a fastball.
He struck out two in every inning from the 4th through the 7th
The scoreboard gun had his curveball in the low 70's and his fastball topping out between 91-93, but a Cleveland scout behind the plate said his readings were 2-3 MPH faster. By the way, another scout told me he works for Baltimore, but was only there because his routine territory is the PCL.
CRUMBS: Eric Patterson played CF on Monday night. Yesterday he was at 2B and already had two hits when he left in the third after pulling up lame on the basepaths with what was described afterwards as a strained hamstring; no prognosis yet...Sam Fuld is listed as active but hasn't played on this homestand due to a bad right thumb. He's only had 20 AB's in 18 games...no one around here expects Micah Hoffpauir back any sooner than 2-3 more weeks. They claim he's in Arizona rehabbing...Jose Ascanio looks good as a closer-in-training. Yesterday he notched his fifth save. He's fanned 11 and walked just two in 10 innings while holding batters to a BAA of .179...Sidney Ponson beat the I-Cubs on Monday night with a nifty seven innings of work...don't yet know why, but the whole team wears their pants tucked up under the knee, a la Reed Johnson; the team looks better than it is...MW

Mike, are you still writing at Road to Wrigley?
A warning I got at another Cubs blog for being a smartass:
You have been issued a warning.
Each of your recent posts has served no purpose except to snark at me without backup. Opinions aren't wrong, of course, but there are ways to do it without being a jerk about it. So far you've failed at that. Try again.

Heh. Who said it was BCB?

Cubs Start
I have been on vacation and ready to start a new job, so haven't been able to post the past few days, but I have been able to catch most of the games. What an impressive start and even more amazing with Soriano struggling then getting hurt and Pie shitting the bed thus far. Of course the rest of the offense is killing it, but keep it going. As for pitching, outside of Lilly (he did look good in last start vs. NYM though) and Howry, they have been good or great. I am sure the hitting and pitching will come down some but so far them have been impressive. Great job to Lou and Hendry!! 14-6 start and the 2nd best record in all of MLB. Go Cubs!!!
Re: Cubs Start
Are you still in the biz?
Re: Cubs Start
No. Long hours (many nights and weekends) and long commute really was a buzz kill for me. I am back working for Pepsi doing national marketing for Pepsi product sales in Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs stores nationwide. It is more along the lines of the career path I want, more of a pure marketing role. I am sure I will miss baseball, but not the hours or money (or lack there of). :)
Dr. Aaron B is available
If the Reds are looking for a replacement. Please allow me to put my name in the ring. I to advocated for the cubs to pick up Brandon Phillips at the end of ST 2006. Instead they went with "Boom Boom" Bynum. Your fans need a competent GM. Aaron B is the people's choice!
Re: Dr. Aaron B is available
Are you more competent than Walt Jocketty?
Because he got the job....
Re: Dr. Aaron B is available
was Jocketty brought in to Cincy before or after they hired Dusty?
cause that would be funny if Dusty didn't last the whole year.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
I truly hope Sean develops into a legitimate number 3. Chances are that we need him quite soon if our lefties don't up their game.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
Umm... you do know that Rich Hill and Ted Lilly had ERA+ last year of 119 and 121, respectively, right?
They will be fine.
Hell... Rich Hill, currently, has been so awful that he is an ERA this year of 3.86 and an ERA+ of 112.
Lets not freak out about Hill, or even Lilly, based on a few starts, especially considering that Hill has actually been pretty decent this year.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
And you do know that at least one (and maybe both, I can't quite tell yet) have changed their deliveries to some extent since they posted those ERA+'s last year, right?
I'm not advocating removing them, (far from it, in fact) but I would certainly be weary of citing their results from 2007, especially with Rich's loss of control and Ted's loss of velocity (which IS improving). The circumstances are different right now.
Z has thoughts
This might be 3/44 on Espn1000 yesterday the host asked Z if this is the best team he's been on.
"To be honest, I think 2003 was the best team."
Re: Z has thoughts
Man, 2003 was filled with so much promise. I like the current team a little better though, especially because some young guys are really stepping up Kerry Wood is getting his chance at career redemption. This team doesn't feel paid for since we've had a chance to see most of these guys for at least a few years, and even our high profile FA signing (Fuku) doesn't feel paid for since he's technically a rookie.
But shit, that 2003 rotation was awesome. Prior looked like a first ballot HoFer, Wood was awesome, Zambrano was starting to look like a future ace, and even Matty Clement had a decent year (and started a fun chin-hair phenomenon).
Re: Z has thoughts
I think that as of right now, 2003 looks like the better team for one reason only: the rotation. In a short series you saw a Prior who was throwing in the mid-nineties, a Wood who was pitching 6+ innings every five days, a Clement who was a pretty good 3rd starter, and a Zambrano who would've been an ace on most teams. Shawn Estes was not a better 5th starter than any of the options we have now, but 3 of those first 4 were pitching like aces.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
Dusty was hired on October 15, 2007. Jocketty was hired on January 11, 2008.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
Rob, Jocketty was brought into Cincy in January (after Dusty).
I'd have to imagine Dusty is around to stay, but Corey should definitely be worried.
Re: I'd have to imagine Dusty is around to stay
Well, if you think like a corporate weasel does, replacing the GM who hired Baker makes it a whole lot easier to fire Dustbag somewhere down the line.
And if anyone needs a real firing, it's Baker. So far he's only been TKO'd.
BTW, I want some of whatever Jerry Hairston J(uice)r. is taking.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
back to Sean Gallagher...
I didn't really take in the scope of how good that start was...86 pitches, 12 K's, no walks. That's ridiculous.
I wouldn't give him to the Orioles straight up for Brian Roberts at this point.
Re: Gallagher straight up for Brian Roberts
The de-puffed post-roids Roberts is lighting it up with a .250 .333 .368 line so far.
But maybe he's just going through an "adjustment period."
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
The Cubs have 7 players with at least 50 at-bats with an OBP over .400.
The patience has obviously been exciting. But one piece, that seems like it isn't getting much attention, is the patience that ARam is showing.
He is hitting .280 with OBP of .409!
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
But strangely, he's K's are up too. With the way he hits I'd rather see him with his 45 walks and his 60 ks.
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
I'm unclear as to the reference to a player named "Roberts."
Re: Gallagher's Dirty Dozen
Re: Ascanio
"His big strength is command of his fastball, which our reports last year had him up to 96 (mph)," said Bush. "He's got a slider that is a developing pitch for him and he's got what is a major league-ready changeup now. So he's got two major league-ready pitches and is trying to refine his slider and get that a little bit more consistent."
Re: Ascanio
I loved the Ascanio trade. Let's hope he's ready later this year, because with the overuse of Marmol so far, we may need someone like him or Ceda.

Team is .500 since early May and is playing like a .500 team. Lack of offense seems to be putting a lot of pressure on the pitchers...and they aren't handling it terribly well.
.500 the rest of the way still may win the division though.
...i hate espn.
nothing like settling into a cubs game to get a few minutes cutaway for an ortiz AB in the 6th inning of the det/bos game.
oh, at least they're doing split screen now...i guess.
I'm liking this rookie Nathan.
Richard DFA'd. Meh...
Throwbacks with fashionable cutouts would be a nice touch.
The next 2 games are nationally televised. I think we dominate tonight, hitting 3 HRs off Shields. Great night for KB to end HR drought facing HR prone pitcher in one of the most hitter friendly parks in the league.
If the ball didn't deflect off the pitcher's mound, the game wouldn't have ended. Montgomery did miss his location though, but if that same contact was made and went in any of direction, good chance of ground out if it doesn't get through.
If it was 1 night later, Chapman would be out there and we probably would be going to extras.
Also, If KB wasn't robbed of a HR, perhaps we would have won. We will never know. Nice play by Melky though.
The comparison isn't Chapman replacing Rondon. It's Chapman replacing Richard (hopefully) in the pen. Chapman's better.
I'm with you, Rob. You pretty much summed up how I feel about it.
Been quite the roller-coaster the past two days -- both games, plus the Chapman kerfuffel. How about a couple of nice, comfortable wins before facing Sale? Cubs should definitely wear throwbacks for that game.
The Cubs are stronger defensively than most of the teams they play. In order to capitalize on that, they have to a) put the ball in play and b) run the bases aggressively.
That said, Cabrera has a strong, accurate arm, as witnessed by his 97 outfield assists over 12 seasons--mostly left field but also a lot of center. Bryant is rarely thrown out, but I guess you have to know who's throwing the ball.
On the other hand, Pries won his first start for Iowa, only giving up two HRs in the process. This trade has got some legs yet!
KB now with 0 RBI in his last 10 games and 1 in his last 15, despite having 19 hits in his last 15 games and raising his batting average from .278 to .286 over that span.
Maybe have Zobrist hit 2 and KB hit 4?
Also -- no HR in the last 15 games -- time for a bunch. Starting tomorrow.
Down a run. Fowler on first. Nobody out. KB singles to left, Fowler makes it to third, perfect throw from Cabrera nails KB trying to stretch for 2nd.
So, instead of 1st & 3rd and no out, you have 3rd with one out. It was a perfect throw, but why take the chance with 3-4-5 hitters coming up?
Must be a Cub thing - our lefties can;t get lefties out.
Splitting hairs, but Jake's pitch was poor execution, while KB's play was a poor decision (and the 2nd time he got thrown out trying to stretch in the game). Poor execution happens. Poor decisions are preventable. Speaking of poor decisions -- Baez's steal of 3rd made absolutely no sense.

Did we throw away the best weapon against malaria in the mid-1960's? The New Scientist has an article on how, having nearly eradicated malaria betweeb 1958 and 1963, funds for the eradication were stopped one year earlier than would have been necessary to finish the job. Malaria today kills nearly as many people each year as Aids – around 2 million. The problem was that small amounts of DDT were used to spray house walls to repel and kill mosquitos. In 1962 Silent Spring was published by Rachel Carson, arguing that DDT should be banned because of the danger to wildlife if it was sprayed in large quantities on fields. As a result, the use of DDT was banned worldwide and malaria has come back in nearly all those areas where it had been eradicated. In 2006 the WHO made a U-turn and approved the use DDT again; incidence of malaria has started falling in those countries which have resumed spraying inside homes:
It seems millions of lives have been lost because health experts threw away their best weapon. Are environmentalists to blame? There is no doubt that DDT was misused as an agricultural pesticide and seriously damaged wildlife. In that sense Carson was right. But regulators did not recognise that spraying indoors was different. And an environmental outcry against DDT helped to ensure that the early fears about its effect on human health became entrenched dogma long after they had been proved unfounded.

This mouse stores the USB plug inside its own battery compartment. If I want to leave it plugged in, even when not in use, there is an on/off switch to save battery power. It glows while moving. I can't find a flaw with it.
Not much to say really. The price was reasonable, and I plugged it in and it worked. And it's been working fine for the past 4 weeks. And it's actually light pink in color. I bought another mouse about a year ago, and the picture showed a light pink mouse, but the mouse I got was a metallic pink. So this one is the same color you see in the picture. So no complaints here!
worked right away after i plugged in. so far so good!!
Daughter uses with her netbook. No complaints at all.

O-Hilly Coffee & Donut 5k
We are hosting a super-fun training run at Observatory Hill in Charlottesville on Sunday, February 12th at 9 am. The run will start from the northwest corner of Fontaine Research Park parking lot (located near Rte. 29 and I-64, see here) and follow a winding path of ups and downs on the trails of "O-Hill". Running at O-Hill can be lots of fun and good training for mountain runs.
To assure that nobody gets left behind, the course will be marked with ribbons and we will group together at the start in fast, medium and slower groups. This run is perfect for first time trail runners and for CAT runners that haven't run long trail distances for awhile.
Upon finishing up back at the Fontaine parking lot, we will have warm coffee and donuts awaiting runners.

SMUT Run
The Southern Massanutten Ultra Trail Run (SMUT Run) is a low-key, difficult ultramarathon on the trails of the southern Massanutten Mountains, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. There are two distances: 50 km and 100 km.
As in the past, SMUT 2011 will be a fat-ass. There will be no ribbons or other course markers, and it is incumbent upon the runner to successfully navigate the course based on maps and turn-sheets. Also, aid may be limited. If you can't read a map/turn-sheet and object to drinking from streams, then SMUT is not the run for you (read the FAQs).

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley and his state's congressional delegation are renewing calls for state-level talks on Alabama's water dispute with Georgia and Florida.
Riley on Wednesday briefed Alabama lawmakers in Washington on a
recent court decision that stripped Georgia of nearly all its rights to water from Lake Lanier.
At a press conference, Riley said the ruling clarified major legal questions and provided a new foundation for a settlement.
Since the decision, Riley and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist have
called for new talks. Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue has focused on
continuing legal appeals or trying to push a solution through
Members of Congress say the governors should handle negotiations.
The states have been fighting for 20 years over rivers they share.

Hi together,
I have few basic issues I think but didnt find any answer yet while browsing here.
Whenever I add a new product there is this big grey box (760x760px) - how can I
1a)remove this grey box or
1b)replace this with another image?
On the product page itself I cant add a image and just simply use it as Featured Image so this doesnt work.
2) On each product page I see this text:
About This Sidebar
To edit this sidebar, go to admin backend's Appearance -> Widgets and place widgets into the Pages Sidebar Widget Area
When I change the product page to "Full-width page" it even displays this text and I dont know why - do you have any idea why?
Theme used: U-Design
3) How can I remove one of the payment options?
Best regards,

Inspection coming soon and nowonw know the answer.
Email me at email@example.com
Thank you Vanessa Frascella (SSG, USA)
- I believe former Navy and Marine Corps personnel are permitted to wear the Naval Parachustist Badge on Army uniforms. I have never heard of a regulation prohibiting it. Call 1-800-318-5298 to speak to Army medals experts. Its the Human Resource Command main number (next door to where I work at the National Personnel Records Center -Husnock 20 Oct 2004

743 pedestrian deaths in five years in Pa.
PennDOT has produced four new YouTube videos aimed at educating children, motorists and parents about pedestrian safety. The videos can be viewed here. Over the past five years, there were 4,558 pedestrian injuries and 743 pedestrians killed in the 22,144 crashes involving pedestrians in Pennsylvania. A disproportionate number of those killed were under 18.
JUST IN: Paving that was postponed because of rain on Wednesday will occur tonight on Washington, Connor and Gilkeson roads in Mt. Lebanon, PennDOT announced this afternoon. The work will begin around 6 p.m. and close the right lane in both directions on Washington Road from Connor and Gilkeson to Ordale Road. Traffic on Connor and Gilkeson will be shifted to the westbound side, with one lane open in both directions from Old Gilkeson Road to East Terrace Drive and Sunridge Road.
Route 65 will have traffic restrictions during paving in Avalon and Bellevue this weekend. A single-lane pattern will be in effect in both directions from 8 p.m. today until 6 a.m. Monday between Elizabeth Avenue and the McKees Rocks Bridge.
A new traffic pattern will take effect on the southbound side of Brownsville Road in the construction zone Monday and Tuesday. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days, traffic control devices will be removed and traffic guided to a new southbound lane alignment on Brownsville from Curry Hollow to Cochrans Mill roads. Police and flaggers will direct traffic. The shift is part of the ongoing Brownsville-Broughton Road intersection project.
Inspection of the Liberty Bridge will cause right-lane closures in both directions at the section passing over the Light Rail Transit tracks from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. today.
Repair work will close a bridge on Mayview Road in South Fayette today. The work will continue until 7 p.m. between Boyce and Georgetown roads. Drivers will be detoured via Boyce Road, Washington Pike, Morganza Road and Georgetown Road.
The signs have been up for a while and now it's really going to start: Milling and resurfacing on Castle Shannon Boulevard in Castle Shannon will cause alternating one-way traffic between Route 88 and Willow Avenue on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. starting Monday. Work will conclude in late August.
Parkway Center Drive in Green Tree will have overnight single-lane traffic starting at 9 p.m. Monday and continuing on weeknights through mid-August for paving between Greentree Road and Mall Drive. Restrictions to be lifted by 5 a.m. daily.
Montour Run Bridges No. 4 and 5 in North Fayette and Findlay will close at 7 a.m. Monday and remain closed through mid-November, Allegheny County announced. Bridge No. 4 is on Enlow Road at Cliff Mine Road. No. 5 is on Cliff Mine Road at Oak Moss Drive. Enlow Road will be closed to through traffic at Cliff Mine Road. Cliff Mine Road will be closed to through traffic from Enlow Road to Oak Moss Drive.
Port Authority's Library Line will be closed south of Washington Junction for most of the day Saturday and Sunday during tree-trimming along the right-of-way. The closure and detour will begin with start of service and end at approximately 4 p.m. both days. The work requires power to be turned off along the affected portion of the line. Blue Line-Library service will serve its normal stops between the North Shore and Washington Junction, then detour to South Hills Village. T stops on the closed section will be served instead by bus shuttles operating in both directions between Washington Junction and Library Station.

The 2017 Wildfire Community Preparedness Day will be held on Saturday, May 6.
A worthwhile effort
"Without that NFPA grant sponsored by State Farm, we would never have attempted a Drake Wildfire Preparedness picnic for our community. I am proud of the amount of planning and organization that went into it, how various community members stepped up to help, and the participation of representatives of key agencies for our area ... Neighbors met neighbors for the first time, and the most important takeaway for me is that we CAN accomplish this sort of thing in our spread-out community."
Laura Emerson
Drake, CO
Throughout the U.S., more than 200 projects were completed on Saturday, May 7 during national Wildfire Community Preparedness Day. A desire to reduce wildfire's impacts was embraced by thousands of individuals as they increased preparedness, reduced risk and raised awareness where they live and play.
Activities had residents, fire and forestry professionals and even cadets from the U.S. Air Force Academy working to prepare individual homes, neighborhoods and community assets from future wildfire risks and recent post-fire impacts. This year's most unique effort included a project at America's only mountain zoo, where more than 700 animals reside in a wildland/urban interface.
KOAA.com | Continuous News | Colorado Springs and Pueblo
The Colorado Springs Fire Department and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo have been working together for decades to keep the area safe from wildfire. On Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, youth from TwoCor teamed up with the zoo and the fire department to mitigate the area above the zoo's veterinary clinic.
NFPA and State Farm are pleased to support the 2016 Wildfire Community Preparedness Day campaign, but have not assessed or evaluated any of the community projects, activities or initiatives. Recognition of any kind in no way implies endorsement or approval of a project, its safety or effectiveness, and the supporters disclaim all liability in connection with any such project, activity or initiative.

I have the (sub)domain elo.bernardinuscollege.nl, which has a DNS A record that points to 18.104.22.168, which is correct (checked it with
telnet, which indeed returns the right IP). For some reason though, I can't connect with my website via the domain (seems to cause some sort of timeout), while using the IP to access the website just works fine. Pinging to the IP works too, but pining the domain results in timeouts.
Same happens when trying to connect with FTP, so it seems like it is not a web server problem. Could Ubuntu or any kind of firewall be the problem?
Iptables is empty on the server. Trying to access the site via my own PC by adding the appropriate rule to my local hosts works, which really astonishes me.
My specs:
- Hosting: Amazon EC2
- OS: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-36-virtual x86_64)
Any ideas?

Q&A: Comedian Dwight Slade
More from comedian Dwight Slade, whose weeklong stand at Acme Comedy Co. was featured in this week's A-List. Slade, who took top honors at this year's Boston Comedy Festival, will do four more shows this weekend at 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Slade talks about his victory in Boston, the art of failure, and the late, great Bill Hicks.
Winning the Boston festival was a milestone.
Definitely. I put a lot of work into it, and it was very gratifying. Boston is a great comedy city. I'd never worked there before, so it was great to do well in a place that has given so much to comedy. There were a lot of comics in Boston who are great comics, but they maybe didn't have enough years under their belt to amp up their performance and really take command of the room.
How many years does it take to reach that point?
It's not so much years, it's how much failure you can endure. It's getting your teeth kicked in. Stand-up is a brutal [art form]. It's arguably the only performing art you can't learn, can't go to school for. You can read books, but that only helps so much. You have to just repeatedly get your teeth kicked in and fail over and over again. I'm still not where I should be at this point. I don't think in any performing art -- and I'm being grandiose calling it a performing art -- that you ever feel like you are where you should be.
You play Minneapolis/St. Paul fairly often -- how does it rank as a comedy town?
It's great. My last DVD was recorded at Acme. It's certainly within the top five or ten cities, without question. Everybody would tell you that. The city has a unique mixture ... a real healthy urban environment, but it's at the mercy of the elements, which keeps people humble and grounded. I know comics move to Minneapolis because there is good stage time there. There's really constructive stage time. And audiences are good. They're urban and intelligent, and you can develop a unique act there, which you can't do in most towns.
You were one of Bill Hick's best friends. What do you make of the Hicks legacy that has continued to evolve since he passed away?
It is weird, but also gratifying. I think that Bill would have been absolutely tickled to see his legend grow and move on. He was always fascinated by artists who were geniuses and died young.
And what will be the Dwight Slade legacy?
It'll probably be settled in court somewhere. I think that's something that's still evolving. I may just wind up a footnote in comedy history, but that's fine.

Specs to put things in context:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+ @ 2.00 GHz / 2 x 512 MB PC-3200 DDR RAM / 160 GB IDE HDD / 128 MB GeForce 6200 AGP / FIC AM37 / Windows XP Pro SP3
So this computer is actually an upgraded EMachines T2482. I found a used Pioneer DVD-115GA DVD-ROM for cheap. I originally had a plain DVD Reader (Lite-On XJ-HD166S) which was quite useless. So I basically did a simple swap of the drive and powered up the computer. The drive could open and close, and I put in a DVD and it was spinning, but no detection.
Going into the BIOS, the drive was not detected. (The IDE cable connecting the DVD-ROM is connected to the CD-ROM below it and then attached to the secondary IDE port on the motherboard.) So I started all the way up and tried to scan for hardware changes in Computer Management. Still, nothing.
I have the software downloaded from the Pioneer site, and that couldn't detect anything. So what else can I try to hopefully get my DVD-ROM recognized by the BIOS?

Drug: Sitagliptin
Other Name: Januvia
Detailed Description:
Umbilical cord blood (UCB) is increasingly used as a source of stem cells for patients with blood cancers who need an allogeneic stem cell transplant (a transplant with stem cells from another person) but who have no suitably matched donors. The advantages of UCB are that (1) it is associated with less risk of transmitting an infection from a donor, (2) it can be more safely given even if not completely matched compared to bone marrow or blood stem cells, and (3) it is much more quickly available than unrelated donor bone marrow or blood stem cells. While more commonly used for transplantation in children, UCB is increasingly being used in adults. However, because they are larger than children, the relatively smaller stem cell dose in UCB is major limitation for transplantation in adults, and engraftment can be delayed. This study is investigating whether the drug sitagliptin can be used to increase and speed up engraftment in adults receiving UCB transplantation, overcoming the limitation of small stem cell doses associated with umbilical cord blood.
Sitagliptin is a drug given in tablet form that has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of certain patients with diabetes mellitus (a disease that results in high blood sugar). Sitagliptin has been given to both normal healthy volunteers and diabetic patients and has been found to be safe and well-tolerated. The drug improves control of blood sugar in diabetics by inhibiting an enzyme called "CD26/DPP-IV." Recent studies at Indiana University (and other centers) have shown that this same enzyme plays an important role in the way transplanted stem cells find their way to the bone marrow and engraft. Transplant studies in mice have found that inhibiting CD26/DPP-IV significantly increases the engraftment of stem cells. Based on these studies, it is believed that drugs that inhibit CD26/DPP-IV, such as sitagliptin, may also increase engraftment in patients who receive clinical stem cell transplants.

Arlington, Va -- The National Milk Producers Federation has warned that dairy farms and farm jobs are at serious risk due to plummeting milk prices producers receive.
The price of milk has dropped 50 percent from a year ago, USA Today reported Wednesday.
The Pennsylvania Center for Dairy Excellence said the state's producers received $11.50 per hundred pounds of milk in February against production costs of $15.50 to $18.50 per hundred pounds.
"If these prices stay low through 2009, there's going to be a lot of producers that don't make it," Walt Moore, a milk producer from West Grove, Pa., told the newspaper.
NMPF spokesman Chris Galen said demand for milk had "really dropped off the cliff in the last quarter of last year."
Ottawa -- Canadian health officials are warning people allergic to egg, milk, peanut, seafood, sesame, soy or tree nuts not to consume Orion- and Lotte-brand biscuits.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the biscuits, manufactured in South Korea, contain allergens that aren't declared on the label. Officials noted that on packages of recalled biscuits, the brand name Orion or Lotte is printed only in the Korean language.
The CFIA said the biscuits are known to have been distributed in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan but might have been distributed nationally.
Officials said consumption of the products might cause a serious or life-threatening reaction in people with allergies to egg, milk, peanut, seafood, sesame, soy or tree nuts.
New York, February 17: With milk prices continuing to touch frightening lows, it has resulted in increasing woes for dairy farmers across U.S.
Ever handled more than a single task at a time? If yes, then you can easily identify with Harpreet Bhagrath with whom things get so higgledy-piggledy while multi-tasking he ends up turning the world around him topsy-turvy.
There is a reason why, in my household, nobody asks me to boil the milk anymore. They are pretty fearful that if they ask me to boil the milk, I would boil it over.

DynaChannAl: Dynamic Channel Allocation With Minimal End-to-End Delay for Wireless Sensor Networks
With recent advances in wireless communication, networking, and low power sensor technology, Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) systems have begun to take significant roles in various applications ranging from environmental sensing to mobile healthcare sensing. While some WSN applications only require a limited amount of bandwidth, new emerging applications operate with a notice-ably large amount of data transfers. One way to deal with such applications is to maximize the available capacity by utilizing the use of multiple wireless channels. This work proposes DynaChannAl, a distributed dynamic wireless channel algorithm with the goal of effectively distributing nodes on multiple wireless channels in WSN systems.

Recent studies have shown that, in microscale electrode gaps, the traditional Paschen's curve fails as the left branch sharply decreases with electrode spacing, thus resulting in the modified Paschen's curve. This deviation from Paschen's curve is attributed to ion-enhanced field emission and notably breaks pressure times distance (pd) scaling. Here, 1-D particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision simulations at moderately high pressures are used to predict breakdown and reproduce the modified Paschen's curve, which is in good agreement with existing theory. These simulations reveal that the net positive space charge that accumulates in the electrode gap enhances the electric field, subsequently enhancing field emission from the cathode. Because the emitted electrons generate additional ions in the discharge, a positive feedback mechanism occurs, where the field-emitted electrons produce the ions that enhance the electric field. It is revealed that this coupling between field emission and the discharge is necessary in order for breakdown to occur.

The king of Bahrain named his son Crown Prince Salman, a reputed moderate, as deputy premier, on Monday, as a promised national dialogue stalled between the Gulf state's Sunni regime and its Shiite majority.
King Hamad said the appointment was amed at "enhancing the performance of the executive arm" of the government in the face of the wave of unrest dogging the small but strategic archipelago since February 2011, the official BNA news agency said.
Prince Salman has repeatedly called for dialogue to resolve the political deadlock in the kingdom, which lies just across the Gulf from Iran and is home to the US Fifth Fleet.
The Shiite-led opposition said it was ready for meaningful talks, but has stuck to its demands for a constitutional monarchy with an elected premier.
Prime Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Salman Al-Khalifa, an uncle of the king, has been in office since 1971 and is widely disliked by the Shiite majority.
A new round of talks between the opposition and the government began last month against the backdrop of daily protests launched around the second anniversary of the pro-democracy uprising that was put down by the army with support from neighbouring Gulf states.
But the dialogue has been dogged by disagreement as the opposition insists that representatives of the king, and not only the government, should take part.
Justice Minister Sheikh Khaled bin Ali al-Khalifa said the two sides agreed in Sunday's session that any deal should be approved by the king but the opposition also wants it put to a referendum.
