Mary Woo, RN, DNSc, professor and researcher at the UCLA School of Nursing, has been selected to give the National Institute of Nursing Researchs third annual Directors Lecture in May.
Woo said it was an honor and a surprise to be chosen to speak at the lecture, an event that brings the nations top nurse scientists to the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Md., to share their work and interests with a multidisciplinary audience.
"I have always considered myself to be a kind of unknown investigator who has the good fortune to work in an area of great interest to myself and to have extremely generous and wonderful research collaborators," Woo said. "I have an enormous amount of respect for the incredible depth and extent of research expertise of the people at NINR. To have this evidence of their respect for my work is a great compliment."
Woo will deliver a presentation called "Its All in the Mind: Heart Failure and the Brain," which summarizes her NINR-funded research on the potential connections between the brain and heart failure.
Woo was the first investigator to identify specific sites of brain injury in heart-failure patients associated with autonomic nervous-system dysfunction, depression, decreased cognition and sleep-disordered breathing, which are independent predictors for morbidity and mortality from heart failure.
"Injury to these brain regions has important implications for patient education and patient self-care strategies," Woo said.
Woo is conducting studies evaluating potential causes for brain damage and is looking at sleep problems, vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency and abnormalities in cerebral blood flow. She and her colleagues also are looking at possible interventions, such as passive foot movement, to improve breathing during sleep, and at vitamin supplementation to protect the brain and promote neurogenesis.
Initiated as part of the yearlong observation of the institutes first 25 years at the NIH, the annual lecture acknowledges nurse researchers expertise and contributions, Woo said.
"I believe that my research, as well as the research of many nurse investigators, contributes not only to nursing science but [also]to the health of the nation," she said.
In 2012, Elaine Larson, RN, PhD, associate dean for research and professor of therapeutic and pharmaceutical research at the Columbia University School of Nursing, delivered the lecture titled "Infection Prevention: An Interdisciplinary Team Approach."

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says it may have found a vehicle that was involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident in southwest Tulsa.
Troopers say 74-year-old Beverly Duffield died of massive injuries at the scene of the accident about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Initially, the patrol didn't know what happened or what vehicle was involved, but later troopers said a car suspected of being involved in the accident was being processed.

Is Egyptian President Sisi making waves of the bad kind in Amr Waked's life?
We know that Amr Waked is somewhat of a "Hollywood star," having starred in a bunch of A-List blockbusters such as "Lucy" alongside Scarlett Johansson, and "Syriana" with George Clooney and whatnot; but that doesn't mean that he should forget all about his Egyptian roots, right?
But that's not why it's been rumored that Waked recently gave up his Egyptian citizenship. Rumor has it that after General Al Sisi's win in the Presidential elections, Amr said "no thank you" to being associated with the artistic Arab country.
According to Laha Magazine, one local Egyptian newspapers published an article on behalf of Waked stating that he had officially denounced his Egyptian citizenship, telling Egyptians: "Congratulations on the military rule of the county, and from now on it doesn't honor me to be an Egyptian citizen."
However, Immediately after publishing the false report, Amr took on to Twitter to clarify the matter, saying: "I stress it once again: An official invalidation of what has been written about my citizenship and me being disgraced at being an Egyptian. I assure you that I'm very proud to be an Egyptian and would never say otherwise. The journalist who published the article apologized to me and promised to publish a second article stating that he was mistaken on my behalf."
Before Sis's win, Amr had announced his full support for Sis's rival Hamdeen Sabahi.

Executive summary
The goal - Connect to vital usage information
Regulatory and market pressures require that utilities improve network reliability, resolve service issues faster and lower costs associated with service requests. But essential information about usage and outages is not readily available to customer service representatives or integrated into back-office systems. IBM and SAP can help you implement an advanced meter management solution that integrates your meter infrastructure with customer service and business applications.
The advantage - Utilize accurate data for better decision making
Implementing an intelligent utility network can provide communications and computer control to create a highly automated, responsive and resilient power delivery system. Advanced metering can enhance a utility's ability to improve reliability, customer service, operational efficiency and energy conservation. Linking vital meter data with back office systems, an advanced meter management solution can supply accurate information in near real time, which can help:
- Improve workforce productivity by automating collection and transport of meter information.
- Assist with identification of outages and generate load profiles.
- Improve theft detection and speed termination of unauthorized use.
- Enable faster responses to service requests, improving customer satisfaction.
Business view
The goal - Lower costs with advanced meter data management
As utilities work to lower costs and provide customers with new services, existing meter management systems are working against them. The advanced meter management solution from IBM and SAP is designed to build intelligence into the system. Make vital data more readily available to support more informed decision making. Help utilities deliver new services. Motivate customers to reduce power usage.
The advantage - Rely on our combined resources and experiences
- Drawing on the experience of over 3,000 energy and utility industry consultants, we understand first-hand the complexity of the implementation effort related to advanced meter management, and we bring insight gained first-hand from deploying advanced meter infrastructure in utilities around the world.
- Utilities companies that successfully use the SAP for Utilities solution portfolio range from global investor-owned enterprises to midsize and smaller public-owned municipalities-they operate in markets that are either still fully regulated or that are already open to competition at various levels.
- IBM's presence in 160 countries around the world combined with SAP's presence in more than 50, means utility companies worldwide have the resources and responsiveness they need to implement and support this solution.
Our advanced meter management solution automates the transport of meter information from the meter data management system to the back office, allowing you to extract meaningful customer usage data to understand actual resource usage. The solution can help your energy or utility company:
- Improve workforce productivity and safety by automating tasks and limiting the amount of onsite work required.
- Identify and locate outages quickly to help speed response times.
- Generate accurate load profiles for better resource planning.
- Motivate customers to limit resource usage by implementing load controls.
- Enable time-based customer billing to help reduce peak demand-reward customers for off-peak use and provide incentives to reduce peak consumption.
- Enable zero-touch service with remote activation of control functions such as curtailment, connect and disconnect.
- Improve reliability and response time to address regulatory and market pressures.
- Utilize better information to identify and terminate unauthorized use faster.
The approach - U.S. energy delivery company modernizes electric grid
IBM is working with a U.S. energy delivery company to modernize the company's electric grid through transforming business processes and reliability, and leveraging advanced technology with an intelligent utility grid. The solution is designed to help the company:
- Automate the grid to harden it and make it less costly.
- Integrate the electric grid to create an end-to-end network for quickly acquiring and transporting data from millions of end points.
- Expand the value of the grid beyond typical utility needs to support new services and new markets offered by retailers.
The financial advantage - Speed revenue collection and reduce costs
The advanced meter management solution from IBM and SAP is designed to lower operational costs for energy and utility companies. The solution can help:
- Limit the costs of building expensive new power plants and expanding transmission capacity by implementing load controls based on accurate usage data.
- Enable remote and virtual service initiation and termination, as well as automated meter reading, which can help reduce the need for expensive human resources in the field.
- Speed collection of revenue with fewer estimated bills, shorter billing cycles and time-based customer billing.
- Reduce the costs incurred due to unauthorized usage by improving loss identification with tamper alarms, load balancing and move-in detection.
Technical details
The issues - Build intelligence into your meter management system
Utility meters are the source of vital information about resource usage, but the data within them is difficult to access and utilize. Leveraging state-of-the-art systems that automate data collection and link meter information with back-office systems can result in substantial savings. The advanced meter management solution from IBM and SAP builds intelligence into the system, transporting data and integrating information into business and operations systems quickly and easily.
The benchmark - Benefit from our leadership in infrastructure and security
IBM and SAP offer proven success in delivering intelligent infrastructures to provide superior reliability and end-to-end network data in virtual real time.
- IBM's Energy and Utilities Solutions Framework has been validated with top energy and utilities companies and is focused on business transformation solutions that are adoptive, flexible and mitigate long-term risk.
- IBM's Intelligent Utility Network provides processes, technology and partners to deliver informed decision making through IP-enabled continuous sensing networks which connect all parts of the utility-equipment, control systems, applications and employees.
- SAP offers a complete portfolio of applications for utilities from ERP to CRM, billing and contract accounting, and Internet solutions.
- SAP for Utilities supports bidirectional communication with advanced meter infrastructure (AMI) systems, helping with the efficient handling of conventional business processes such as disconnection and the support of new business processes such as theft detection.
Advanced meter management from IBM and SAP is set of solutions designed specifically for the new Intelligent Utility Network and supports the integral role smart meters play in that framework. The solutions cover the information flow from network data sources (meters, sensors and actuators), network data communication, data integration and IT infrastructure, business applications, analytics and presentation.
This solution delivers on IBM and SAP's strategic objective of providing an end-to-end solution that enables bi-directional communication across the Intelligent Utility Network. The IBM and SAP solution will offer efficient handling of conventional business processes (e.g., interval usage, disconnection, etc.) and support of new business processes (e.g. theft detection). The advanced meter management solution from IBM and SAP will continue to evolve, but already includes support for asset management, customer relationship management, billing, energy capital management and other ERP support. A technical architecture has been defined that supports numerous AMI meter vendors, cellular and PLC networks, intelligent T&D network communication devices, meter data management solutions and integration with ERP application software. The business solution includes a full range of project management, strategy consulting, planning, development, testing, implementation and meter/network deployment support services.
IBM has partnered or worked with these AMI vendors: American Meter, AMRON Technologies, Badger Meter, Cannon Technologies, Cellnet, Datamatic, DCSI, Echelon, Elster, Hexagram, Hunt Power, Instromet, Itron, Kimmon, Metretek Technologies, Metric, muNet, Nertec, RAMAR, Rockwell, Romet, Roots/Dresser, Sensus Metering Systems, Silver Spring Networks, SmartSynch, Sprague, Superior, Tantalus Systems and Westinghouse.
These Load Control & Display Devices have been used in IBM projects: Blueline Innovations, Comverge, DSCI, Honeywell and Lightstat. In addition, IBM has partnered or worked with Honeywell DMC, Sargent Electric, Wellington and Terasen Utility Services for deployment. And has designed solutions to integrate with these meter data management solutions: eMeter, Energy ICT, Excelergy, Itron, Lodestar, Nexus and Siemens.

Dr. Livingstone's lost 1871 'massacre' diary recovered; discovery rewrites historyBreaking News
In Africa 140 years ago, David Livingstone, the Victorian explorer, met Henry M. Stanley of the New York Herald and gave him a harrowing account of a massacre he witnessed, in which slave traders slaughtered 400 innocent people. Stanley's press reports prompted the British government to close the East African slave trade, secured Livingstone's place in history and launched Stanley's own career as an imperialist in Africa.
Today, an international team of scholars and scientists led by Dr. Adrian Wisnicki of Indiana University of Pennsylvania, publishes the results of an 18-month project to recover Livingstone's original account of the massacre. The story, found in a diary that was illegible until it was restored with advanced digital imaging, offers a unique insight into Livingstone's mind during the greatest crisis of his last expedition, on which he would die in 1873.
Livingstone's 1871 Field Diary is a free online public resource published by the UCLA Digital Library Program in Los Angeles (http://livingstone.library.ucla.edu/1871diary/). The project was made possible by the generous funding and support provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (http://www.neh.gov/), an independent grant-making agency of the U.S. government dedicated to supporting research, education, preservation and public programs. The British Academy has also helped fund the endeavour. With these grants, the research and all the data is made available to advance humanities and technology studies across the United States and globally....

News.com has a story on a security researcher that was released by his employer @Stake, a consulting company that does work for Microsoft, after contributing to a report that criticized Microsoft. Specifically, the report criticized the security of Microsoft products and cited an alleged monopoly as being bad for our national computing infrastructure and creating a significant risk.
First, a disclaimer. I haven't read the report cited and I don't know all of the details of this story. Also, the article cites some sources that imply that Microsoft is directly behind this firing. I don't support that theory and I believe that it is irresponsible speculation. However, if this person was fired after contributing to a report that sounds like it has a reasonable thesis because that thesis is controversial, I think that should be a concern. I am a supporter of Microsoft and avid user of many Microsoft products and development tools, but they have to continue to work hard as a company to make sure that platform is reliable and secure. In a recent Microsoft survey that I participated in on behalf of my company, I cited security and reliability of products as the major concern that I have as a customer. Let's not silence this kind of criticism, I think this type of analysis is an important factor that helps motivate Microsoft to work on improving their products.

Point/Counterpoint - Twitter
Kyle Rankin is a VP of engineering operations at Final, Inc., the author of a number of books including DevOps Troubleshooting and The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and is a columnist for Linux Journal. Follow him @kylerankin.
news media and the point?
I agree with Kyle, simply because I don't see the point to it...There's nothing new it provides, except that it's more streamlined than facebook/etc.
One thing I've been thinking about lately Kyle mentions, about the news media. I've seen them promote it so much lately that I've started to wonder if they're being told (read: paid) to use (read: advertise) it and talk about it on the air. The only other thing that could explain it is that the reporters are somewhat celebrity (and we all know how retarded many people get over celebrities) and so they probably have a bunch of followers (read: groupies). It's possible that it makes them feel special in a way that most reporters don't usually get, as they aren't the typical celebrity, and so they indulge. Other than that, I cannot find one bit of rhyme or reason as to why they'd advertise the service so much. Even if it was the most useful piece of software/service on the planet I cannot see why it would be advertised so much -- I mean, where's all the linux advertisements and coverage? (I may be presumptuous in assuming most of us would agree linux is more useful than twitter).
The only real usage I can see for this service is corporate status messages to (potential) clients. It sounds like another means of advertising...one that is actually opt-in, opposed to slammed in your face even though you really don't want to see it. Is that what we need though, another means of advertising?
Sure, it's around, it's everywhere, it's got it's fifteen minutes. Eventually it will go the way of myspace and people will wonder what it is or why they bothered...or maybe, they'll still remain interested in the kind of sandwich you ate yesterday at 3pm.
As for me, I don't understand the interest.
Twitter vs IRC
I find it hilarious that I can see both points of view. I have also done /me more times than I would like to admit on twitter, but only a handful of my followers get it.
Frankly, despite the time-delay on twitter and people's availability, I like twitter more. And when the service goes down, I switch to FB and IM.
Laconica is the savior right there. Federation is the future, not vendor locked-in services, where you don't control your data. Email and Jabber are two fabulous examples.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

This review is from: Rosewill RFX-100B - 90mm Computer Case Cooling Fan - PCI Slot, Super Quiet
Pros: -easy/fast installation
-brings case temps down
-black plate matches case very nicely
-is small enough to not feel like clutter
-helps tame GPU fans (especially with non-blower-style coolers)
-too cheap to not consider adding to your cart while ordering other stuff
Cons: -the shell is a little wide (almost touches PCI components in the nieghboring slots)
-uses molex connector instead of mobo fan headers
-no speed adjustment
-wire may be a little short, depending on how you have your case laid out
Other Thoughts: I grabbed this PCI slot cooler in hopes that it would maybe help expel some of the hot air that my GPU kicks around the case, as it's not a blower type cooler that exhausts air out of the case much on its own. I was somewhat expecting it to add some extra fan noise to my system. But, for $6, I was eager to try it anyway.
Surprisingly, it not only didn't add much noise on its own, it actually made my system -as a whole- run quieter. Set a couple slots away, it's helping enough that it keeps the GPU fans from ramping up as often or as high as they usually do. Also, holding my hand near the other case fans, they're each expelling a little less heat than before. So, I would consider this a great small-investment for those looking for extra cooling in that pocket around the add-on cards. I thought I already had a pretty good airflow setup. But, this little guy made a very noticeable difference. I'm definitely going to be getting more for some other towers I have.
Side note: If anyone is looking for a blower fan that feeds from the bottom side, and only finding ones that feed from the top (pretty much everything listed on this site), the slot panel on this one can be pulled off and spun to change the intake direction. I was curious and tried it when I first pulled it out of the packaging.
This review is from: GUNNAR Gaming Eyewear - PPK Onyx/Mercury Frame
Pros: -Reduce eye fatigue
-Fit comfortably
-Increase the amount of time one can comfortably use a computer.
-Nice styling
Cons: -They seem rather fragile.
-They get dirty VERY easily.
-They don't play well with all headsets.
Other Thoughts: I was very skeptical when I first head about these. But, my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to get a pair, when I saw that Newegg was carrying them and for a very good price. I am VERY glad I gave these a shot. Between gaming, audio editing, and just boredom, I tend to sit at the computer for very long periods of time. I instantly noticed that my eyes felt less dried out and strained while wearing these. The headaches that I would sometimes get after long sessions have significantly reduced. I also find that it's much easier to read on screen text. Whether it be searching for files, or reading long passages on a webpage or in a digital book.
I can tell that the lenses are making a difference in the harshness of the light from the screen. As, anytime I take them off, I instantly squint. The tint does take a few days to fully get used to. But, it's not a drastic change. I hardly notice the change when I put them on, anymore.
The frames do seem a bit flimsy. But, if you're not rough with them, there shouldn't be an issue. I've had them for almost a year, and they seem to be holding up quite well.
The one thing that does REALLY bother me about these glasses is that they pick up dust and smudges like a magnet. Even if you just sat down from a shower, if you bump the lens with any part of your skin, there's GOING to be a smudge. So, you'll definitely want to keep a microfiber cloth handy. I clean mine, on average, 2 to 3 times a day.
But, all in all, I'm very glad to have gotten these glasses. I highly recommend them to anyone who looks at a screen (computer, TV, etc.) for extended periods of time. They work equally well for editing, gaming, watching movies, web browsing, reading ebooks, etc.
This review is from: Rosewill RC-404 - PCI Ethernet Card - 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps, 1 x RJ45
Pros: -Decent price
-Easy install
-Works great
-Linux recognizes it without any issues.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Other Thoughts: I bought this to replace a temperamental ethernet port in an older Dell computer that my folks have. Popped it in and had it running within a few minutes. It works equally well under Windows and Linux (XP and Xubuntu dual boot).READ FULL REVIEW

Extend the Poly class consturcted in the below question that I have asked.
1) A member named evaluate that takes aingle double argument representing the 'x' value and returns the result (type double) of ecaluating the polnomial at x.
2) A void member named roots that will take two rferene arguments of type Complex, then compute and provide both roots of quadretic polynomial object. Recall that the roots of a quadratic polynomial are given by the quadratic equation: x = (-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a The expression under the radical is referred to as the discriminant. If the discriminant is negatie, the roots must be expressed as imaginary values using Complex numbers: x1= (-b/2a)+(sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a)i ,x2= (-b/2a)-(sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a)i
Your function should first determine if the roots are real or imaginary based on the value of the discriminant. If the roots are real, return them as complex values with the imaginary component set to zero, if the roots are imaginary, return them in Complex form using the absolute value of the discriminant.
3). Write a member function named dx to retun a polynomial object representing the derivvative of the calling object. For example, y=ax^2+bx+c is y'=2ax+b
4) Write a member function named integral to return a polynomial object representing the integral of the calling object. For example, the integral of a quadratic polynomial dy/dt=ax^2+bx+c is y=(ax^3)/3 + (bx^2)/2 + cx + C (C is constant and zero for this function).
At minimum, you should demonstrate that for any Poly object, the follwoing code
Poly somefunction;
produces the original function(with the constant term set to zero). You should also determine the roots of x^2 - 4 and x^2 + 4 to verif your root finding method.

Dear Doctor,
I am a plus size woman and need medical care and check ups just as much as anyone else. But I often feel like you're biased before you even know me and that makes me dread the thought of visiting you. Maybe you don't understand but it hurts my feelings and even angers me. These are some guidelines you might want to follow – not just for me, but whenever you're treating a plus size patient.
Don't Judge Me
Every patient isn't the same, so why should every plus sized person be the same? Treat me like an individual. Don't judge me because of my weight. I may be healthy even though I am big, so don't make assumptions about my lifestyle before you know me. Just because some fat people are lazy and don't do anything about their weight, doesn't mean all are. I do care about my health. Be more open-minded and stop assuming my health issues will be complicated because I am a BBW.
Respect me and be Sensitive to the Reason I'm there
I may be fat, but I am definitely not stupid so please don't be condescending. I am not a second class citizen and I deserve to be treated with as much respect as anyone else. While I understand there may certain health issues where my weight can be a factor, please don't lecture me on my weight at every given opportunity. If I need a weight or nutritional counselor, I will go to one.
Have the Right Facilities and Equipment for Every Size
It's bad enough having to confront a doctor without knowing whether you're size friendly, but it makes it worse for me when you don't even make simple considerations for us. The chairs in the waiting room could be a little bigger to accommodate people of sizes. And if you didn't already know, a too small cuff can give wrong blood pressure readings.
Train your Staff
You may be fat friendly but the staff may not. Educate your staff. I don't need the nurse to go tsk-tsk every time she weighs me and I shouldn't have to hear her complain that she has to look for a hospital gown that will fit me.
Be Honest
If you can't be unbiased, and think your medical advice won't be entirely objective because you think I'm overweight – tell me. I'd rather not suffer the prejudice, and I will respect you for your honesty.
Thank you,
The Plus Size Woman
Have you had to deal with prejudiced medical professionals? Do you hate going to the doctor because you keep getting told how fat you are. You're definitely not the only one. There is no exact science to finding a doctor you're comfortable with but don't be afraid to look around. Ask your friends or other BBWs for referrals. You could even interview the doctor with a list of questions before you decide to go in for a medical appointment. Remember, it is important to form a relationship with a doctor so if you're not comfortable with your physician, don't hesitate to find a new one.
photo by heather_r
Not all health professionals are biased and it may take you a while sometimes, but you will find one. This website I found lists fat friendly physicians and encourages others to contribute as well. So go ahead and contribute if you have an understanding physician.
I'd like to hear about your experiences of going to the doctor and if you have any tips to help BBWs find a good unbiased medical professional, leave us a comment.
Interesting article. Luckily, my current doctor has no issues with my weight and has never in fact brought it up. However, I remember a different doctor told me I had to lose weight while she sat there bigger than me and reeking of cigarette smoke. Needless to say, I never saw her again. BBWs encounter predjudice everywhere, and doctors are no exception.
I have been a BBW most of my life and spent 10 yrs going from Dr to Dr feeling exhausted, heart palpatations and shortness of breath. My blood results all showed I had very low iron, but their cure was to lose weight and all would be fine. I tried but try exercising with shortness of breath and palpatations whilst being beyond exhausted. FInally when I was 29, and having suffered from deep depression for 2 yrs on top of everything, I said to a DR I know I am fat but treat me like a thin person. They sent me to a specialist and I now have iron pumped into my veins every 3 months and I feel like I am alive again. I was very close to dying because my O2 was so low. My eye sight has been effected as has my kidneys and liver slightly all because it took 10 yrs to get me treated like a thin person. I would like to see all Drs have conversations with larger people and cure them of their prejudice.

- All five of the bank's market-timing signals are flashing a buy signal for the first time since near the epic lows of early 2009, says Morgan Stanley, issuing a "full house" buy alert.
- The five timing tools are valuation, fundamentals, risk, capitulation, and a combined market indicator.
- To take one: The trailing dividend yield on stocks as measured by the MSCI Europe Index is 240 basis points above the yield on a mix of European government bonds - pretty close to a one-century high.
- The best way to play the rebound is through eurozone bank stocks (NASDAQ:EUFN), says Morgan.
- ETFs: VGK, FEZ, HEDJ, IEV, EPV, EZU, FEU, EEA, EURL, FEP, UPV, DBEU, ADRU, HEZU, FEEU, IEUR, FIEU, DBEZ, FEUZ, SBEU, HFEZ, HGEU
Aug. 26, 2015, 7:18 AM
- Europe already had a 4%-plus gain in the books before the major reversal in U.S. stocks took place late in the session, so the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) quickly fell more than 2% at the open this morning.
- At the current writing however, the Stoxx is lower by just 0.45%, with similar losses across the Continent's major indexes.
- The ECB's Peter Praet is out on the wires saying the sharp fall in commodity prices and weakness in overseas economies puts the central bank at risk of missing its inflation goal on the downside. "There should be no ambiguity on the willingness and ability of the governing council to act if needed." Sounds like the threat of QE2 before QE1 is even near completed.

Aug. 21, 2015, 12:19 PM
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) tumbled another 3.2% today, bringing its loss to the week to roughly 7%. The gauge is off nearly 12% in just the handful of sessions since August 10, but still up more than 3% YTD.
- Leading today's decline was France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) down 3.2%, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) -2.95%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) -3%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) -2.8%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) -2.8%.
- The FTSE 100 is now off 5.5% YTD, and Germany's DAX is down 3.6%.

Aug. 20, 2015, 12:23 PM
- A 2.2% decline in today's session leaves Europe's Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) nearly 10% lower than it stood ten days ago, and within about 2% of taking out the lows hit in early July amid the height of the Grexit panic.
- Earlier, Greek PM Tspiras announced plans to step down and hold snap elections on Sept. 20 as he's been unable to get enough support from his own party for the country's latest bailout deal.
- Germany's DAX (NYSEARCA:EWG) fell 2.3% today, and is off more than 10% since major trading partner China devalued the yuan.
- France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) -2.1%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) -2.6%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) -1.8%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) -0.6%.
- ETFs: VGK, FEZ, HEDJ, IEV, EPV, EZU, FEU, EEA, EURL, FEP, UPV, DBEU, ADRU, HEZU, FEEU, IEUR, FIEU, DBEZ, FEUZ, SBEU, HFEZ, HGEU
Aug. 14, 2015, 5:31 AM
- The eurozone's economic recovery unexpectedly slowed in the second quarter, as expansion in its three largest economies fell short of estimates.
- Gross domestic product in the 19-nation region rose 0.3%, missing forecasts that showed Q1's 0.4% pace would be maintained. Germany's economy grew 0.4%, Italy's 0.2%, while France stagnated.
- With market jolts coming from China, and Greece on the verge of a new bailout program, the euro area's promising revival may still see difficulties ahead.
- Euro -0.1% to $1.1145.
- FTSE 100 flat; DAX flat; CAC 40 -0.1%; Euro Stoxx 50 -0.3%.
- ETFs: VGK, FEZ, HEDJ, IEV, EU, EPV, EZU, FEU, EEA, EURL, FEP, UPV, DBEU, ADRU, HEZU, FEEU, IEUR, FIEU, DBEZ, FEUZ, SBEU, HFEZ, HGEU
Aug. 12, 2015, 7:25 AM
- China was forced to intervene to support the tumbling yuan overnight, and at day's end set Wednesday's reference rate for the currency based on its closing level today. In the past, Beijing had ignored market moves and set the reference rate higher on days when markets sold it lower.
- Last night's move is thus - more or less - a 2nd devaluation of the currency (really a freeing up of the currency). The yuan is now lower by 2.8% since Monday's close.
- The bottom line is that Europe now has competition in the weak currency business - something its shaky economy probably doesn't need at the moment.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) is lower by 2.3%, bringing its losses for the week to about 4%. Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) is down 2.4%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) 2.3%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) 1.6%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) 2%, and the U.K. 1.2%.
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) is up 1% vs. the dollar to $1.1151.

- Getting a chance to react to the rough Friday afternoon action in the U.S. as well as the 8.5% plunge in China overnight, Europe's Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) closes Monday with a 2.35% loss. The broad gauge remains higher by 12% for the year.
- Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) fell 2.5%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) 3%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) 1.4%, and the U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) 1.1%. The Athens Stock Exchange looks set to reopen tomorrow. GREK -3.5%

- With Greece once more swept under the rug, Goldman Sachs boosts its short-term view of European stocks to Overweight from Neutral. Weakness in the euro, the ECB's QE, and accelerating growth all make the EU a buy, says Goldman.
- Is Goldman late? After all, the Stoxx 600 has gained 9% over the last two weeks. Acknowledging some of the rally may have been missed, Goldman nevertheless says the factors are in place for European outperformance versus the U.S., which is downgraded to Underweight from Neutral.

- "The telling factor in the standoff may be that Greeks fear their country's exit from the euro more than Germany does," writes Marcus Walker in the WSJ, after the Eurogroup today - led by the Germans - demanded full compliance with austerity measures twice rejected by Greek voters.
- "The Eurogroup is pushing [Greek PM] Tsipras to effectively hand over the keys to the country, says Wolf Piccoli, managing director of political-risk consultancy Teneo Intelligencehe. "He may have neither the will nor the authority to do so, opting to walk out and resign instead."
- Germany's power play also puts it at odds with the IMF, which has urged the EU to grant the Greeks at least some debt relief.
- U.S. stock index futures are lower by about 0.4% across the board, while European futures are down by more than 1%.

- An attempt at a bounce has failed in Europe, and the major market averages are now down about 1%.
- The Greek government is submitting new proposals to the eurozone as its banks run out of time to stay solvent after the ECB yesterday kept in place a cap on ELA funding and boosted the haircut on collateral.
- Rates are headed south, not just in the U.S. and Germany, but in the periphery as well. The U.S. 10-year yield is lower by six basis points to 2.23% and the German 10-year Bund yield is down nine bps at 0.68%. Italy down 11 bps to 2.28%, Spain down three bps to 2.30%.

- Up nearly 1% earlier, the Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) has turned lower by 0.6% less than an hour before the close.
- The Stoxx 50 shed 4.25% yesterday, led by Italy's 5%+ decline.
- The Eurogroup has set 1ET as a time for a conference call, at which Greece's latest proposal will be discussed.
- Not too badly dinged yesterday, the U.K.'s (NYSEARCA:EWU) 1% loss is leading on the way down today. Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) -0.6%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) -0.8%, Itay (NYSEARCA:EWI) -0.1%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) -0.2%.
- Athens remains closed for business, but the Greek ETF (GREK +5.1%) and National Bank of Greece (NBG +9.4%) are up sharply.

Jun. 29, 2015, 7:45 AM
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) is near session lows, down 3.7% after Greece over the weekend shut the banks and the stock market, and imposed capital controls.
- A referendum next Sunday is likely to determine the country's fate, with a "yes" vote meaning the fall of the current government, allowing a new government to cut a deal with the country's creditors. A "no" vote likely means Grexit.
- Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) is off 4.1%, Spain (NYSEARCA:EWP) 3.9%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) 3.6%, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) 3.3%, U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) 1.8%.

- Direxion puts its stamp on the red-hot currency-hedged ETF sector with the launch of the Direxion Daily MSCI Europe Currency Hedged Bull 2X Shares ETF (NYSEARCA:HEGE) and the Direxion Daily MSCI Japan Currency Hedged Bull 2X Shares ETF (NYSEARCA:HEGJ).
- Both funds have a stated gross expense ratio of 1.07%, but a net expense ratio of 0.95% through September 2016 due to a cap on total operating expenses.

- The expense ratios are 0.27% and 0.23%, respectively, versus an average expense ratio for currency-hedged European stock ETFs of 0.56% and 0.48% for similar Japan funds (according to ProShares). There are $47B in assets in currency-hedged ETFs, and WisdomTree's (NASDAQ:WETF) Europe Hedged Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:HEDJ) and its Japan Hedged Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:DXJ) are the most notable, with nearly $40B in AUM between them.

Jun. 22, 2015, 7:38 AM
- While no deal has been reached, the Greek government's latest proposal makes major concessions on cutting deficits in the country's pension system - a long-standing demand of Greece's creditors.
- According to the Greeks, the pension savings should amount to 0.4% of GDP this year and 1% starting in 2016 - pretty close to the target demanded by the IMF, ECB, and EU governments. Pencil pushers in Brussels will spend the next few days going through the numbers ahead of an emergency summit late this week.
- Peripheral bond yields are headed south, while Germany's 10-year Bund yield is up ten basis points to 0.86%.
- The Stoxx 50 (NYSEARCA:FEZ) +2.6%, with Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) up 2.7%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) +2.6%, Spain (EWQ) +2.5%, Italy (NYSEARCA:EWI) +1.7%, the U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) +1%. Greece is higher by 5.7%.

Jun. 12, 2015, 9:57 AM
- The bond rout of the past few weeks has been notable for its correlation. The bond markets of putative solid credits like Germany and the U.S. were hit as hard or even harder than those of countries like Spain and Italy.
- Potentially worrisome in today's action: Yields are flat to lower in Germany and the U.S. while moving sharply higher in the peripheral countries.
- The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is down 1 bp to 2.37% and the 10-year German Bund yield is lower by 3 bps to 0.86%. Meanwhile, the Spanish 10-year yield is up 18 bps to 2.31%, and Italy up 12 bps to 2.26%.
- This is happening as another Greek default and then possible EU exit got more likely with the IMF technical team's return to D.C. yesterday, and investors may not want to be holding the paper of the next countries in line should anything adverse happen over the weekend.
- Spain's IBEX 35 (NYSEARCA:EWP) is lower by 1.3%, and Italy's FTSE MIB (NYSEARCA:EWI) by 1.5%. Elsewhere in Europe, Germany (NYSEARCA:EWG) is down 1.5% and France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) is down 1.7%. FEZ -2.2%, GREK -4.1%, NBG -7%

FAIRLAND, Okla. (AP) - Authorities say a man was shot and killed in an apparent break-in at his home in a rural area outside of Fairland in far northeast Oklahoma.
The victim is reported to be a businessman who lives in a rural area outside the community.
The suspects were reportedly wearing camouflage clothing. It's at least the second home invasion in Ottawa County in less than a week.
On Thursday, two men entered a residence of an attorney in rural Miami where they held a woman and her grandchildren hostage during
a robbery.

There is a general need of elaborating energy-effective solutions for managing our increasingly dense interconnected world. The problem should be tackled in multiple dimensions -technology, society, economics, law, regulations, and politics- at different temporal and spatial scales. Holistic approaches will enable technological solutions to be supported by socio-economic motivations, adequate incentive regulation to foster investment in green infrastructures coherently integrated with adequate energy provisioning schemes. In this article, an attempt is made to describe such multidisciplinary challenges with a coherent set of solutions to be identified to significantly impact the way our interconnected energy world is designed and operated.

Iraq Vet to Challenge Reichert in the 8th
Well, not yet. But I think it's a great idea. Ever since Paul Hackett almost took out a Republican in Ohio's heavily-Republican 2nd District, the DCCC has been spooging over the idea of Iraq Vets as candidates. An Iraq Vet candidate in the 8th District (the East Side) would likely get a lot of national DCCC money to take out Reichert.
So, here's the deal. Back in June 2004, I did a column on an Iraq vet that I met while reporting on a Kerry meetup in a basement conference room at a Doubletree hotel in Bellevue. This Dem Iraq vet took the floor and captivated the room.
His name was Chris Kashfia. He was charismatic, well-spoken, macho, handsome, and 27-years-old. (Old enough to be a member of Congress.)
Chris Kashfia, if you are out there, or if anyone out there reading the SLOG knows how to find Chris Kashfia, tell him he should run against Reichert.

To the Editor: Drs Dietz and Scanlon1 advocated further reduction of industrially produced TFAs from all food products. The evidence that TFAs increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), particularly at substantially low levels (1%-3% of total energy consumption),2 is compelling. In contrast, there are no known health benefits of industrially produced TFAs, and we believe their use in food products should be minimized or eliminated.

Emma Stone
Emma Stone in Rag & Bone Capri Jeans & Andrew Garfield in Levi's
Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield were photographed while out taking a stroll together in New York City. We saw a lot of photos of Andrew and Emma while they were doing publicity for their film, The Amazing Spiderman 2.
I think Emma's off-duty style is pretty similar to what we saw during the publicity tour, a lot of Rag & Bone jeans. While out with Andrew, she wore a pair of the capri jeans in Swamis with an oversize blazer and sandals. Andrew broke out his red Levi's cords, which he wore with a jacket and t shirt. I think they're such a cute couple, so I always love seeing photos of them! Buy Rag & Bone online at LuisaViaRoma.

Emma Stone in Rag & Bone Zipper Capri Jeans in Shredded
Emma Stone was spotted leaving her hotel in New York to go promote The Amazing Spider Man 2. The actress wore a pair of the Rag & Bone Zipper Capri jeans in Shredded with some Valentino pumps and a jacket.
I cannot get enough of Emma's style. I find it to be the perfect mix of feminine, dandy and quirky with such an ease to it that makes each look perfect and perfect for the Rag & Bone aesthetic. You can click here to purchase these jeans from SSENSE for $230.
Emma Stone in Patched Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans
Emma Stone waved to the cameras while leaving her hotel to do publicity for her film, Spiderman 2. Emma wore a pair of Rag & Bone skinny jeans with patched holes and a sequined jacket.
I like the juxtaposition of this outfit and how the masculine flannel was paired with the lighter, more delicate white blouse and sequined jacket. It looks like this pair was probably altered for Emma, as the holes are filled with a black and red check flannel material. I could see this being a very easy way to customize your jeans a bit. What do you think of Emma's outfit?

Emma Stone in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Woodford
Emma Stone graces the new May 2014 issue of Vogue to promote The Amazing Spider Man 2. In one of the shots the actress was styled in a look with her favorite denim brand, Rag & Bone. The Skinny in Woodford were styled with a Chanel Jacket and hat, a Maxstudio.com shirt and finished with a pair of Tabitha Simmons boots.
I just love seeing a Chanel jacket worn in a casual way because it is such a luxury piece and think this look is just perfection. I can definitely see Emma wearing something very similar for a press event and hopefully off-duty because I think it is just so good. You can click here to purchase these jeans from SHOPBOP for $176.

Y2K finally hits: Draft notices sent to the dead
This is not a joke - it's a computer error. What's happened in Pennsylvania this past week will not require thousands of elderly or otherwise dead men to go to war, but it should inspire some giggles. A computer error has resulted in more than 14,000 draft sign-up reminders being sent out to men born between the years 1893 and 1897.
