Asian Stocks Fall to Two-Week Low on Fed Reserve Speculation
Asian stocks fell, dragging down the MSCI Asia Pacific Index by the most in almost two weeks on speculation a possible Federal Reserve asset-purchase program that may be announced next week will disappoint investors.
Rio Tinto Group, the world's No. 3 mining company, sank 2 percent in Sydney after oil and copper prices declined. BYD Co., the Chinese carmaker backed by Warren Buffett, tumbled 8.9 percent in Hong Kong after JPMorgan Chase & Co. downgraded the stock. Asciano Group, Australia's largest port and rail operator, slumped 4.3 percent after saying it's more cautious on its full-year outlook. Honda Motor Co. gained 1.9 percent as a weaker yen boosted the outlook for export earnings.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped 1.2 percent, the most since Oct. 12, to 128.87 as of 7:23 p.m. in Tokyo. The Fed may announce a program of U.S. Treasury purchases worth a few hundred billion dollars at its Nov. 2-3 meeting, the Wall Street Journal reported today. The ultimate size of the asset-purchase program range could reach $2 trillion, according to Goldman Sachs estimates.
"Ahead of the Federal Reserve meeting next week, I'd look to take some profit," said Chris Leung, a Hong Kong-based portfolio manager at Taifook Asset Management Ltd. "As economic data turns stronger, I doubt whether the Fed is going to push the size of quantitative easing. There might be a chance that it won't meet market expectation."
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index slumped 1.9 percent and China's Shanghai Composite Index sank 1.5 percent. South Korea's Kospi Index decreased 0.5 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index dropped 0.9 percent. Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average gained 0.1 percent.
Copper, Oil
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 0.5 percent. The index was little changed yesterday in New York, with most stocks declining as results from companies including Kimberly- Clark Corp. and U.S. Steel Corp. disappointed some investors.
Gauges of raw-material suppliers and energy companies posted the biggest declines among the 10 industry groups on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. Copper futures in London dropped 0.8 percent, while crude oil prices in New York sank 0.5 percent in electronic after-hours trading.
Rio Tinto slid 2 percent to A$82.35. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's biggest mining company, fell 0.8 percent to A$41.49. Jiangxi Copper Co., China's largest producer of the metal, lost 4.4 percent to HK$21.75. Cnooc Ltd., the nation's No.1 offshore energy explorer, sank 2.5 percent to HK$15.76.
Buffett's BYD
In Sydney, Macarthur Coal Ltd., the world's largest producer of pulverized coal used in making steel, sank 3.5 percent to A$12.13. The company forecast first-half profit of A$115 million ($112 million) to A$125 million, missing some analysts' estimates.
BYD declined 8.9 percent to HK$46.50, the biggest drop on the MSCI Asia Pacific Index, after JPMorgan lowered its rating to "underweight" from "neutral."
Tokyo-based Mitsui Chemicals Inc. tumbled 6.7 percent to 237 yen, the MSCI index's third-largest slump. Its stock-price estimate was lowered to 330 yen from 350 yen by Hisaaki Yokoo, an analyst at Goldman Sachs.
Asciano slumped 4.3 percent to A$1.565. The company's first-quarter coal shipments missed its expectations, making the management "slightly more cautious" about the full-year outlook, Chief Executive Officer Mark Rowsthorn said in a statement.
Asset Purchases
More than two stocks declined for each that advanced in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index today. The gauge dropped for the first week in two months last week after China unexpectedly raised interest rates and said its economy grew at the slowest pace in a year. Companies in the index are valued at an average 14.1 times estimated profit, up from about 13.5 times on Aug. 25, when the gauge fell to a one-month low.
"I'm a bit cautious at the moment," Taifook Asset's Leung said. "In the short term, expect Asian markets to see a correction."
The gauge has risen from the August low as concerns about the strength of global economic growth eased. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke is likely to preside over a decision next week to launch another round of large-scale asset purchases after deploying $1.7 trillion to pull the U.S. economy out of the financial crisis, comments from policy makers in the past week indicate.
Weaker Yen
Concerns have "increased that the amount of money in the markets will be smaller and that may slow the speed of gains in stock market," said Hideaki Higashi, strategist at SMBC Friend Securities Co.
Japanese exporters advanced after the yen depreciated to 81.76 against the dollar at the close of trading in Tokyo today from 80.68 at yesterday's close. A weaker yen boosts the value of overseas income at Japanese companies when converted into their home currency.
Honda, a carmaker that gets more than 80 percent of its revenue outside Japan, gained 1.9 percent to 2,960 yen. Toyota Motor Corp., the world's largest automaker, increased 1.5 percent to 2,910 yen. Sony Corp., the maker of Bravia televisions and PlayStation game consoles, rose 0.6 percent to 2,757 yen.
National Australia Bank Ltd. climbed 2.1 percent to A$25.26. Chief Executive Officer Cameron Clyne predicted a stronger economy will drive demand for corporate loans next year after the lender said second-half cash profit increased 32 percent.

Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis can already detect a difference in this year's Indianapolis Colts. Twelve months ago, the veterans were still explaining to teammates that they couldn't afford to wait a season or two to start winning and virtually banned the word ''rebuild'' from the locker room. Eventually, everyone got the message, and the Colts responded with a stunning nine-game improvement that put them back in the playoffs. These days, Wayne and Mathis aren't talking as much or as loudly, though the goal has not changed. Win the Super Bowl. Don't believe it can happen? If the Colts learned anything from last season's historic turnaround and Chuck Pagano's inspirational comeback it was this: Always believe. So when the Colts report to training camp this week at Anderson University, an NCAA Division III school about 25 miles northeast of Indy, Wayne and Mathis are quietly raising the expectations. ''Better than last year,'' Wayne said when asked about his thoughts heading int...

Hey, I'm Hana!
New York, New York, United States · Member since January 2011
I recently relocated to Brooklyn, NY and I love it.
Prior to ending up in Brooklyn, I've lived in Abu Dhabi (UAE), London (UK), DC, Philly, Atlanta, and Charlottesville, VA.
After 7 years in business consulting, I left the industry this summer and applied to Parson's Fashion Design Program (Fall 2011).
I found this great apartment in less than a week and I'm so happy to call it home. I have great neighbors, a relaxing rooftop, and a helpful building manager (who also happens to run the laundromat under the building).

CRITERION COLLECTION: EIGHT & A HALF / (WS SPEC) - Blu-ray Disc
Type: Event | Date: Tuesday, Jan 12, 2010Includes:8 1/2 (1963) 8 1/2 Fresh off of the international success of La Dolce Vita, master director Federico Fellini moved into the realm of self-reflexive autobiography with what is widely believed to be his finest and most personal work. Marcello Mastroianni delivers a brilliant performance as Fellini's alter ego Guido Anselmi, a film director overwhelmed by the large-scale production he has undertaken. He finds himself harangued by producers, his wife, and his mistress while he struggles to find the inspiration to finish his film. The stress plunges Guido into an interior world where fantasy and memory impinge on reality. Fellini jumbles narrative logic by freely cutting from flashbacks to dream sequences to the present until it becomes impossible to pry them apart, creating both a psychological portrait of Guido's interior world and the surrealistic, circus-like exterior world that came to be known as "Felliniesque." 8 1/2 won an Academy Award for Best Foreign-Language Film, as well as the grand prize at the Moscow Film Festival, and was one of the most influential and commercially successful European art movies of the 1960s, inspiring such later films as Bob Fosse's All That Jazz (1979), Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and even Lucio Fulci's Italian splatter film Un Gatto nel Cervello (1990). ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

No worries, I have parking near and around our apartment.
Parking is a hassle sometimes but it is okay.
The yearly permits are very expensive, and the only place freshman can even park is at the parking garage all the way on the other side of campus. It is very inconvenient.
The parking policies are enforced with no doubt .
Parking permit are costly and you aren't always even able to find a spot if you have one. There are shuttles and transportation however that is very convenient and reliable.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Parking can be stressful at Towson. During popular class hours, the garages can get packed, and it is likely some students will have to wait a long time in order to find a parking spot. As a result, it is recommended for commuters to arrive earlier than their class times in order to find a spot, especially when it snows. On snow days, many students must face troubles trying to get their vehicles out of their spots.
Some of the parking garages are far from the rest of the classes, and many students must resort to those garages in order to avoid getting a ticket. Towson police are always ticketing, and they are expensive, so try to get a permit if you are bringing a vehicle to school. If you do not get a permit, there is sometimes room on the streets but not always.

Warby Parker's eyeglass frames look great. But the geek-chic style isn't the only reason the spectacles are so hot right now.
The three-year-old company started by four twentysomething Wharton School students gives away a pair of glasses for every one sold.
Philanthropy is cool with this generation, but there is more to why Warby Parker's annual sales are well over a million dollars.
Warby Parker works because they sell good-looking prescription glasses and sunglasses to people sick of paying iPad prices for eyewear.
"We are trying to radically transform the optical industry by providing beautifully designed and crafted glasses for $95 instead of $500," said Neil Blumenthal, 31, one of the company's four cofounders.

A few days ago, I got a virus in my Windows XP Home edition that was redirecting links on my browser. So I ran across a post that directed me to run the AVG virus scanner in safe mode and then to turn off system restore, then restart to normal. I did as directed. I got the blue screen with the code
c000021a. In my effort to fix this, I ran across a YouTube video that told me to delete
system32\config\system without backing it up!
Now I am getting
system32\config\system is missing or corrupted. There it is. Two idiotic advice of which the first was to turn of system restore (which deleted all my restore points) and second was to delete the system file so that we can restore it. But I have no restore points! My files are very important. Here is all that I have tried:
Since I cannot log into Windows, I used my Windows XP installation CD to try to repair my Windows, but it does not even recognize Windows. So I went into recovery mode and it does list Windows.
Now I am trying to make a copy of
system.sav and then rename it to
system to replace the file. But it says
system already exists. So I can't do this either. How do I replace the system file so that I can continue troubleshooting the blue screen?
Also, I have tried
bartpe but that does not load up either. It says missing
nvgts.sys file.

The Lahu conference 2015 was held in March 27-29 at Wiang Pa Pao under Chiang Rai province Thailand, based on the theme from the book of Luke 9: 52 " No man… Kingdom of God". The Lahu people from different parts of the world attended the conference, even though they resides in different countries like China, Myanmar (the then Burma), Laos still then they value their rich traditional culture and were displayed in fabulous manner.
There were three foreign speakers and I was honored to be one of the speaker in a three days program. The attendance was huge, it was around one thousand and they were so excited to worship the Lord. The first service starts at 6:00 am- 8:00am, the second service at 10:00 am-12:00 and the third at 7:00 pm till 10:00 pm. It was a whole day long program and it was a bit tiresome but on the other hand seeing the enthusiasm of the people to know more about the word of God, it is worth to preach for the extension of His Kingdom, its a blessing at the end of the day. On the last day of the conference 17 youths dedicated their lives to God and were baptized.
In the conference the only Lahu pastor from China informed the congregation and challenged the people to come forward and serve God in China as a missionary because there are around 40 Lahu churches and there in only one pastor to oversee all those churches. The pastor challenged the congregation to come out from their comfort zones and be ready when God called you. If you have a heart for the Lahu people and to be a missionary in China, please contact me and I will informed you in details, see my contact.

So i was sitting around with my daughter and thinking to myself, boy am i hungry, low and behold i had a bag of left over pecans from the pie my mother in law made for thanks giving. So i jumped on Google and stumbled across this recipe. Checked my pantry and i had every thing i needed. So i put my baby in her high chair and we went to work whipping up this quick and easy glaze. Now i'm really bad in the kitchen and can only make a hand full of stuff but this was so easy i want to put it on all kinds of stuff (mostly nuts). I have been eating them as they slowly cool and they just keep getting better, no idea how long they are going to last on the counter while they set, hopefully my wife will get off work before i eat them all.
Yum! Easy to make, sweet, crunchy. Would be super on a salad or on an ice cream sundae! I miss the vanilla and cinnamon from other, similar recipes, but my husband says these are great just the way they are! :) Made for Fall 08 PAC. Thanks for posting!
Just made with a pecan walnut mix and tasted while they were still hot SO GOOD, now I want to try with almonds and pastashios maybe even peanuts.

Venezuelan authorities launched an investigation on Monday into the murder of an indigenous leader who fought for the demarcation of native land in the northwest of the country.
Sabino Romero, the 58-year-old leader of the Yukpa ethnic group, was shot several times by two people on a motorcycle in the state of Zulia on Sunday, officials said. His wife was wounded in the attack.
Interior Minister Nestor Reverol said a prosecutor had been designated to investigate the "horrific assassination" and that police crime scene experts were sent to Zulia.
Juan Carlos de la Rosa, leader of the Wainjirawa indigenous organization, said the shooting was committed by "two masked assassins," adding that Romero's wife would be released from the hospital after suffering light wounds.
This type of attack, he said, "has historically taken place against all those who fight for land."
A human rights group, Provea, says on its web page that six Yukpas were murdered by hitmen last year.
The Venezuelan government expropriated more than 15,000 hectares of land in 2011 to hand it over to Yukpas, who have demanded the return of ancestral lands now used by cattle farmers.

Once a bootleggers' haven frequented by the sister of Al Capone, today Cameron's Inn & Restaurant celebrates its 100-year history with old-fashioned hospitality and eclectic vintage décor. The restaurant harks back to English pub traditions with Inglenook-style seating crafted from old church pews and a menu that includes bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, and burgers flame-grilled over fragments of Big Ben. Near the bar, which touts 18 beers on tap and more than 60 bottled ales, walls are stacked to the ceiling with more than 2,000 beer cans, which owner Cameron Palmer began collecting at age 10. A functioning fireplace and five big-screen TVs cast a warm glow across the dining room, whose stage hosts occasional live music, karaoke contests, and shadow-puppet beauty pageants. Overnight guests snooze soundly within the rustic timber-lined walls of the inn's three rooms, or at an RV park and campground near scenic ocean cliffs.

FanDuel MLB Plays for Monday, April 14th
by Owen O'Brien (follow Owen on Twitter @0wen0Brien)
We're barely two weeks into the 2014 MLB season and already there's been an abundance of compelling stories and thrilling outcomes on FanDuel. Whether you're sitting on top of the world, struggling to dig yourself out of an early hole, or riding that fine line in between don't forget that we're just fighting the skirmishes of a much larger battle with so much of the season left to come. It starts with nine games on Monday's schedule, and I'm here to help you sort through all those potential options with two recommended plays at each position. A dreaded day off or thunderstorm can strike at any time, so make sure to confirm that all of the players you include in your roster are actually in their team's starting lineups and that the games are unlikely to be affected by bad weather before contests begin.
1. Ervin Santana, ATL @ PHI ($6,500) – Santana was brilliant in his first outing of the season on April 9th giving up just three hits in eight shutout innings with six strikeouts and no walks against the Mets. Philadelphia should offer a little bit more resistance on Monday, but Santana has pretty good numbers against the important Phillies in their limited historical matchups. It's easy to forget how good he was last year with his career having been a memoir of inconsistency for almost a decade, but it looks like Santana is poised to carried his strong second half of 2013 into the beginning of 2014. Atlanta has some hot hitters right now and even if the Phils put a couple on the board, Santana should be in line for the win with a strong bullpen behind him.
2. Jesse Chavez, OAK @ LAA ($4,900) – The pitching ranks are a bit thinner than usual on Monday, which could lead many FanDuel users to go cheap at the position. If that's your plan, Jesse Chavez is my top available option under $6,500 in salary. The young Oakland hurler has made two fine starts already this season giving up just one earned run in each while striking out 13 and walking only two. He's averaged 12 fantasy points per outing even though he has yet to get a decision, something that seems destined to change on Monday one way or the other. The Angels are not the easiest matchup and might do some surface damage against Chavez, but Los Angeles is fielding a shaky opposing starter in Hector Santiago that could give an early lead to Oakland and a comfort zone to Chavez.
1. Russell Martin, PIT @ CIN ($3,000) – Martin is riding a four-game hitting streak with three extra-base hits into the Pirates' series in Cincinnati. He's also coming off of a day off on Sunday, which means he's pretty likely to be behind the plate on Monday facing off against an aptly named Homer Bailey. Martin has swatted two homeruns off of Bailey in past meetings, posting an 1.186 OPS in 14 career at bats versus the Reds starter. Due to the small sample size BvP alone isn't necessarily a mandate to play a hitter, but combined with a hot streak and recent power as in the case of Martin, you're starting to build a compelling story. I expect an extra-base hit from the Pittsburgh backstop in this one with upside for plenty more production hitting behind Andrew McCutchen and Pedro Alvarez.
2. Devin Mesoraco, CIN v. PIT ($2,500) – There may not be a hotter hitting catcher in baseball right now than Mesoraco, owner of an extra-base hit in all four games he's played this season racking up two homeruns and three doubles in just 11 at bats. He should get another start behind the plate on Monday against lefty Wandy Rodriguez, a pitcher that Mesoraco is hitless against in five career at bats but a good matchup nonetheless for a righty on a hot streak. Obviously there is no way the Reds catcher keeps up his 1.429 OPS, but he's always been a big prospect and maybe he's finally due for his post-hype deliverance after a few quiet seasons spent waiting in the wings in Cincinnati. Given the money he'll save you for other positions and the way he's been raking, it'll be hard not to roll with Mesoraco on Monday.
First Base:
1. Freddie Freeman, ATL @ PHI ($4,100) – We're starting to see what the next evolution of Freddie Freeman might be, and it's pretty damn scary for opposing pitchers and FanDuel users that haven't been a part of his recent run. The young Braves first baseman is on a nine-game hitting streak that includes six extra-base hits including back-to-back games with a homerun entering Monday. Freeman has five hits and five RBI in his last two games and has an appetizing matchup on tap against righty Roberto Hernandez. I'm looking for both the hitting streak and the homerun streak to continue in Philadelphia on Monday, and although Freeman will be widely owned he's still a smart play to keep pace with the peloton in tournaments and establish a solid foundation in cash games.
2. Adam LaRoche, WAS @ MIA ($3,600) – If you don't have quite enough room in your salary cap for Freeman or simply think he's due for an 0-fer, take a look at Adam LaRoche, the slow and steady tortoise to Freeman's hare. Washington's first baseman is up to his usual quietly powerful ways with a pair of homers and a .429 OBP bolstering his .941 OPS through the season's first two weeks. He's coming off a bomb on Sunday and although he's facing a lefty on Monday that lefty's name is Brad Hand. It's possible the handedness could bump LaRoche from the lineup, but that seems unlikely given his 1.867 OPS including a homerun in five previous at bats against Hand. It's a tiny sample size, but baseball managers tend to prioritize these types of stats and Davey Johnson is a manager's manager. I also don't expect Hand to last too long, which should leave plenty of at bats against right handed relief pitching for LaRoche.
Second Base:
1. Chase Utley, PHI v. ATL ($3,900) – Utley is on fire to start the season carrying a .500 batting average with three homeruns into his 11th game of 2014 on Monday. Any time a second baseman is slugging .700 he's a pretty obvious choice on FanDuel, and although I listed his opponent Ervin Santana in my pitcher recommendations above, Utley is the one Philadelphia hitter I would include in a lineup along with Santana. In cash games it's a bit of a hedge and in tournaments it's definitely possible for both Utley to have a good game and Santana to still come away with a productive outing and a win. No holds are barred in daily fantasy leagues on FanDuel and a counterintuitive move like that can sometimes be a difference maker. With four extra-base hits in his last two games and eight in his last seven, Utley is just seeing the ball too well to leave out of your lineup no matter who your pitcher is.
2. Ben Zobrist, TAM @ BAL ($3,500) – Zobrist is one of the few second basemen capable of keeping Utley from being majority owned on Monday. The Tampa Bay veteran is coming off a two homer game on Sunday and carries a fantastic 1.067 OPS with a homer and 10 hits in 23 career at bats against opposing starter Wei-Yin Chen. That's a recipe for high ownership percentage on FanDuel and although Utley is hard to ignore there will be plenty of users swayed by even just the $400 discount with Zobrist. I can't argue with either choice, but Utley's recent consistency makes him the top pick at the position in my mind. Of course, that probably means Zobrist will sock another bomb or two on Monday. For those of you that use more than one lineup, this is a good opportunity to diversify with multiple good options.
Third Base:
1. Pedro Alvarez, PIT @ CIN ($4,100) – It's not every day you recommend a $4,100 player with a .178 batting average, particularly when you wouldn't be surprised if that batting average persisted for the rest of the season. But that's what makes Pedro Alvarez a special player, one of those rare weird prototypes that's just better suited for fantasy than reality. The Pittsburgh third baseman has just eight hits on the season but five of them are homeruns and another is a double. I dare say Alvarez is showing an improved eye at the plate with eight walks against nine strikeouts, and even with a pitcher's batting average he's managing a .912 OPS so far in 2014. He gets to be part of the bomb squad defusing Homer Bailey's fastball on Monday and mixed results like three K's and a HR would still be a helpful fantasy outcome. It would also be right in line with the two HRs and eight Ks Alvarez has put up in 20 career at bats versus Bailey.
2. Kevin Kouzmanoff, TEX v. SEA ($3,000) – Kouzmanoff occupies a fond place in my fantasy heart as one of those familiar names from the past that disappeared and returned with similar abruptness. I remember him well hitting 23 HR as an up and coming option at a relatively thin third base position in 2008, and despite a couple of acceptable seasons that followed he hasn't had meaningful run in MLB since 2010. Now he's been thrust into the everyday starting third base job in Texas with Adrian Beltre hitting the shelf with a strained quad. He's responded well with at least one hit in each of his first four games including a double on Sunday. I don't expect consistency or flashy numbers at season's end, but I do see Kouzmanoff hitting at least one homerun before Beltre returns. Facing off against rookie lefty Roenis Elias on Monday seems like as good a time as any.
1. Jean Segura, MIL v. STL ($3,800) – Shortstop is a bit of a head scratcher on Monday compared to other positions. There are definitely some good names available and even some guys that offer good to-date value for their price, but I can't say I am in love with any particular player on the board. If you have the money to pay for Tulowitzki I can't argue with his dominance at the position, but for those restricted to a more reasonable budget I like Jean Segura as the best of the rest. The Brewers shortstop hasn't done much over his last four games, but he's capable of a point explosion any day with his diverse tools. I like Milwaukee to put at least a few runs on the board and Segura will be in the middle of that attack, boasting a 1.200 OPS with five hits in 10 career at bats against opposing starter Lance Lynn. That should help him steal first base and his legs and the hot bats behind him will do the rest.
2. Jhonny Peralta, STL @ MIL ($2,900) – I'm kind of feeling the idea of going cheap at shortstop on Monday and Jhonny Peralta is catching my eye in the sub-$3,000 range. I think Matt Garza will have a decent game against the Cardinals, but Peralta is likely to have a few men on base when he's at the plate at some point in this game, and his lifetime .960 OPS with 11 hits in 25 at bats against Garza indicates he's likely to have some success. Peralta's numbers look terrible so far this season but he's a streaky hitter and is coming off two hits including his first double of the year on Sunday. You can't bank on the homeruns like you once could with him, but Peralta still rakes doubles better than most middle infielders these days. He's due for a bit of a stat adjustment and Garza has been known to be a bit prone to the big fly in his career.
1. Justin Upton, ATL @ PHI ($4,000) – Justin Upton really loves the month of April with four homers already this year, all in his last four games, after blasting 12 bombs in the season's first month in 2013. Throw in the two doubles he had on Saturday and you're looking at six extra-base hits in four games for the better Upton brother. It's bound to end at some point, but don't be the one standing disappointed on the sidelines as this eruption continues over the next few days. It's hard to imagine Roberto Hernandez bringing anything to the table that will disrupt Mt. Upton, and if Mr. April decides to steal a base he could easily be looking at his fourth double-digit fantasy point game in five days. That's value you're not likely to get from anyone else priced under $5,200 in the outfield.
2. Chris Heisey, CIN v. PIT ($2,400) – Every lineup needs a bargain punt play that's still capable of being the most productive player of the day. Usually even a few crumbs of storyline will be enough to encourage buy-in on a stealthy near-minimum priced option, but in Heisey's case there is a pretty compelling tale. He doesn't play close to every day, but having not started since April 9th and with lefty Wandy Rodriguez on the mound for the Pirates it would be hard to believe Heisey won't be in Cincinnati's Monday lineup. Heisey has pinch-hit each of the last three days and hit a grand slam on Sunday. He's also torched Rodriguez for three homeruns and a 1.072 OPS in 23 career at bats and there is more than one song in the annals of FanDuel lore honoring Heisey as a hero from games gone by. Monday may be another one with the statistical stars aligning for the underused and multi-talented Reds dynamo to be one of the top values of the day if he plays.

A federal report says the nation's cattle herd hasn't been as small as it is now since 1952, and that likely will lead to years of higher retail beef prices.
The January head count of 90.7 million on farms and ranches was 3 percent lower than one year ago, according to Friday's cattle inventory report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"We're going to see just how much the consumer will pay for beef. There's just not much out there," said economist Steve Amosson with Texas AgriLife Extension. "Beef prices will be 5 to 10 percent higher by the time we get into the fall and winter months."
Retail choice beef prices nationally were up about 13 percent in 2011 to $5 per pound, according to University of Missouri Extension, and they've been higher than the previous year in each of the past 22 months.
But retail prices could have been higher as supermarkets absorb some increases in their costs.
"There's always a resistance among retailers to raise prices too often," Amosson said. "They will tend to lag, especially on meat. So they may keep prices a little lower than the market dictates."
The promise of an eventual increase in supply is in the report. The number of heifers, females that haven't calved for the first time, is up 1 percent, according to the USDA report, but even if producers start rebuilding their herds now, price relief for consumers won't come for a while.
"It would take close to three years to see an impact," Amosson said.
That's the amount of time from birth to burger it would take for a heifer to grow, go through a pregnancy and for its newborn to leave the feedlot. And keeping females for breeding would just decrease the cattle available for slaughter even further.
The decline in cows means fewer calves that go to feedlots for the next several years, and feeder cattle are already selling for record prices. Add in relatively high corn prices cattle feeders blame on competition for the grain from ethanol producers, and feedlot operators talk a little apprehensively about the near future.
"We'll have to sell at record highs or we won't make a profit," said James Herring, president and CEO of Amarillo-based Friona Industries LP, the fourth-largest feeding company in the world with a one-time capacity of 290,000 head. "It's going to make it a challenging year for feedlots. The stakes are very, very high."
The latest drop in the number of cattle follows six straight years of decline and fewer cattle in 12 out of the last 14 years, according to the USDA report. Just in Texas and Oklahoma, stricken by drought, cattle declined by 967,000 head.
But actual beef production was almost unchanged, according to the latest Texas Cattle Feeders Association market report. Some analysts attribute that to higher calving percentages and better genetics that help cattle grow to market weight faster. But beef exports were up 23 percent, reflecting a domestic consumption decline of 3.7 percent to 57.4 pounds per person per year.
While the number of cattle on feed is up, also due in part to drought burning up pastures on the Southern Plains, the Livestock Marketing Information Center reports the number of feeder cattle not yet in feedlots on Jan. 1 was 3.9 percent lower than one year ago at almost 26 million head.
The drop in supply may be a boon to other meat industry sectors.
"As beef prices move that way, we may see competing meats that turn production around faster like pork and chicken become more profitable," Amosson said. "We'll see more chickens and especially pork."

Jan 16 2013, 13:21 ET | About: Universal Display Corporation (OLED) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor
Heavily-shorted Universal Display (PANL +4.6%) is rallying again today - shares are up 10% from Monday's close. A recently-spotted Samsung slide noted a 4.99" 1080p OLED display will arrive in Q1 - there's a good chance it will go into the Galaxy S IV - but a display launch along these lines was expected. CES brought with it an array of OLED TV announcements and flexible OLED demos.

by Dr. Bernard WeinerPresident Obama has lost his 2012 bid for re-election.
He has made key decisions in three areas that, unless he alters his approach (not likely), could well guarantee a Republican victory: an embarrassingly rolled-out, badly-compromised health-care reform bill; his continuing slavish subservience to those on Wall Street that took the country into the economic toilet; and his sad imitation of CheneyBush's imperial campaign in Afghanistan.
(Obama's only hope for 2012 may depend on Sarah Palin getting the GOP nomination. Even better if Glenn Beck or Dick Cheney is her running mate -- tickets, I'm appalled to say, that have been mentioned seriously. The Democrats can only hope to face such Republican candidates.)
If Obama goes down to defeat in 2012, he could take with him any hope for a major revitalization of American democracy after eight years of wrack and ruin under CheneyBush. And Obama's own Democratic majority in Congress might well suffer, perhaps quite badly, at the polls in November of 2010.
Yes, yes, I know that Obama's only been in office for a month shy of one year, and dumping on the guy may seem way early, especially given the humongous mess he inherited from his disastrous predecessor, and the vicious, destructively partisan warfare being waged by the Congressional Republicans. Still, as we approach the New Year, some summarizing truths need to be spoken now, and loudly, if we are to gain anything from the current situation in the way of possible alterations of course that can still be made.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The long and short of Obama's present dilemma lies in his inability and/or unwillingness to use his massive electoral mandate in the service of the kind of systemic change he promised and that most Americans thought they were voting for. He seems afraid to step out of the D.C. Beltway manner of thinking and acting. Or, more likely, he is behaving the way he is because he really feels comfortable with the elitist/corporatist power-wielders and doesn't want to rock any boats.
Instead of being a transformational president, in the mode of FDR, willing to think boldly and move courageously, he's quickly turning into a lame-duck Democratic place-holder for whomever comes next. The incremental change he's willing to fight for is not the the major-change platform he ran on, certainly not on health-care reform, not on helping middle-class homeowners, not on extricating the U.S. from mistaken wars.
America needs major surgery, but Obama is supplying little more than Band-Aids while trying to pass himself off as a successful surgeon. The Democratic base is not buying what he's selling, especially liberal/progressive Dems, moderate Independents, and Republicans who voted for Obama because they were appalled by the extreme rhetoric coming from the crazies in charge of the GOP. In the eyes of these voting blocs, which overwhelmingly backed Obama in 2008, he is just your average politician, promising anything to get elected but not fighting and following through when it counts. No wonder 25% of Democrats already say they probably won't vote for him again.
It didn't have to turn out this way.
- Millions of citizens were energized to work for and vote for and contribute to Obama's campaign. I was one of those in the political trenches, sending money, ringing doorbells, writing editorial columns, etc. Even though I saw him as little more than a pragmatic centrist, Obama seemed unlike a traditional politician and made promising speeches about taking on the entrenched power structure in Washington and in the country in general, enacting major reforms.
As one who was a bit inside the campaign, I can verify that the energy and hope in 2008 was palpable. Finally, FINALLY!, this was our chance -- after backward-looking Reaganism, after greedy and power-hungry CheneyBushism -- to turn things around, cleanse the foul-smelling stables, get America's priorities right. Maybe Obama wasn't a true progressive, but he wasn't Bush or Cheney or McCain or Palin and his liberal tendencies might come to the fore.
It's plain that too many liberals let their fervent dreams of change cloud their assessment of the man. Now, even in his first year, everyone can see that he's pretty much a politician of the old school, willing to compromise and triangulate and water down, often even before the fight is joined. In short, he is averse to taking on the powers-that-be, in part because he is a product of and a true believer in that status quo system. Or, too naively, he hopes he can convert the opposition to voluntarily do the right thing. Ain't gonna happen.
- How else to explain Obama's wishy-washy support of true health-care reform? OK, he won't accept the single-payer, Medicare-for-all approach that would be so simple, cost-effective, universal. We understand his reticence while bemoaning his lack of courage. But not to fight tooth and nail for a robust public-option plan that was supported by two-thirds of the American citizenry in polls? All along, he could have made clear that he would veto any legislation that did not include that robust option, and thus altered the debate and outcome. Instead, his chief of staff and other key Democrats effectively indicated for weeks that even the much-compomised, less-than-robust public-option could disappear with no great loss. With a jerry-rigged "trigger" substitute and buy-in for some, Obama still believes he can claim a "victory," placate his base, and thereby boost his electoral chances. He and Rahm have badly miscalulated.
- How else to explain Obama's embrace of the very financial players who helped get us into our current economic trauma? Not just the financiers on Wall Street (who, not incidentally, are still engaged in some of the very greedy tactics that created the mess in the first place) but bringing those types into vital policy-making roles in his administration: Geithner, Summers, Bernanke, et al.? Obama's dedication to propping up a corrupted form of capitalism makes him seem to be moving the deck chairs around the Titanic, rather than charting a new, more secure, more economically-just course. We've hit the economic iceberg, but are blithely continuing on toward the next catastrophe.
- How else to explain Obama's mirroring of CheneyBush's penchant for anti-democratic secrecy ("state secrets"), and their neo-con, American-exceptionalist foreign/military policies?
- How else to explain Obama's abysmal, CheneyBush-like record on civil liberties: asserting the right to hold detainees forever without charging them or bringing them to trial, to "render" them to states that engage in extreme torture, to continue domestic spying on U.S. citizens, to claim to be fighting "just wars," etc. And to the amassing of enormous powers, a la CheneyBush, in the Chief Executive's hands? The political lesson here seems to be: If you build it, they will come -- and not leave.
Unless Obama is willing to make a drastic shift in course, he's going to be a lame duck, one-term President. Those who worked so hard for him are starting to abandon him, or are being pushed out (example: Greg Craig) because of ideological differences in approach on the wars, the economic bailouts, torture, holding officials accountable for war crimes and unconstitutional behaviors, civil liberties, etc.
But even more than his arm's-length behavior on health-care reform dragging Obama down in the public's estimation, it's the escalation of the war in Afghanistan that may well doom his political future -- in much the same way Vietnam destroyed the effectiveness and presidencies of LBJ and Nixon.
In trying to play to every faction with his newly-announced Afghanistan policy, Obama pleases no one. Obama may think that means he's in the comfortable middle and has maneuvered skillfully with his triangulation, but, in truth, it suggests that his policy is pretty much a congealed mess.
At least Obama has the good sense to understand that "winning" in Afghanistan is impossible, as imperialist powers like the Brits and the Soviets in different centuries finally had to concede in the end. And so, Obama is launching a major escalation of a lost war mostly not to win it but to buy a little time in order to extricate U.S. troops on our own schedule (which just happens to coincide with the 2012 election). "We came in to help the Afghan people stand up for themselves, but it turns out they are so factionalized and corrupt that they cannot successfully be helped. We tried and now we're coming home." That seems to be the Obama scenario.
The $30-billion allocated for this escalation is money poured down a rathole, funding that could do wonders in helping nation-build and create jobs back in the U.S. This cost does not even include the brave young men and women in the U.S. military -- along with thousands of innocent Afghan civilians -- who will be slaughtered and maimed in this Vietnam-like quagmire of a war. (Karzai and a goodly number of U.S. generals figure we're in Afghanistan for anywhere from five to 20 years.)
So what, if anything, can be done about this trifecta of disasters: an endlessly-compromised, less-than-satisfactory health-care reform; a senseless, immoral war in our names (fought, to a large degree, with outside-the-law mercenaries); and a slow, partial economic recovery that helps the wealthy and corporations -- the insurance giants, the financial/banking sector, the pharmaceuticals, the oil moguls, et al. -- but not the American working- and middle-class?
Though the momentum currently is with Obama and the Democratic leaders, none of these issues are done deals as of this writing. We should be putting immense and unrelenting pressure on the President and our members of Congress to at least place tough, enforceable regulatory sanctions on the Wall Street robber-barons; to stick with the robust public-option on health-care reform; and to not fund the Afghanistan escalation. These oppositional actions could be accomplished through phone calls, petitions, letters, online agitation, sit-ins at their offices, protests on the campuses and in the streets, creative political theatre at a wide variety of venues, etc.
That's short term. Long term, we must work to fertilize the field in various states and Congressional districts for liberal/progressive candidates to run against conservative Democrats who too often side with the Republican extremists. Obviously, no Democrat can be 100% in correct votes for there are occasionally issues, or political realities in the field, that will lead to a bad vote on a particular bill.
The targets, though, are those DINOs (Dems in name only) who habitually desert the Democratic caucus to side with the worst of "conservative" positions on key popular issues. In the Senate, think Lieberman, Bayh, Nelson, Lincoln, Landrieu and that crew. The House is replete with conservative Blue Dog Democrats who proudly perform their obstructionist role time and again by siding with Republicans on decent legislation. At the very least, those politicians should have to face solid, viable liberal opposition in the primaries. That way, even if the Blue Dogs eke out victories, a potential progressive base can be identified and built on for future campaigns. And, who knows?, threatening these conservative Democrats with opposition in the primaries could affect their votes right now.
Even more long-term, we must start thinking, and talking, about the alternatives open to progressives in the 2012 presidential race. Including joining with many other Americans who are turned off by the current stranglehood on power held by elite forces seemingly beyond our control. Among these options might well be the founding of a viable third party.

iOS 8.1 Will Bring Back Camera Roll, Adds iCloud Photo Library
At Apple's big iPad event today, they gave a quick preview of iOS 8.1, which will bring a few new features: iCloud Photo Library, Apple Pay, and the return of the Camera Roll.
At Apple's big iPad event today, they gave a quick preview of iOS 8.1, which will bring a few new features: iCloud Photo Library, Apple Pay, and the return of the Camera Roll.
iPad: Last week Apple released a version of iPhoto for iOS, but it's only compatible with new devices like the new iPad and the iPad 2. However, if you want to get the app installed on an unsupported, first generation iPad, iPhone blog AppAdvice shows it's pretty easy to do and doesn't require a jailbreak.
Along with the new iPad tablet today, Apple introduced iPhoto for the iPad and iPhone, so you can browse, edit, and share photos on your mobile device using this powerful tool, which will run you $4.99.
When we chose the best photo management app for Mac OS X, a few were overlooked. After further consideration, we felt that Lyn easily bested iPhoto. While it costs a tiny bit more, it is far more versatile than Apple's offering. For an in-depth look at why we feel it's your best choice, check out the full post in the…
There aren't many Mac photo management apps that aren't geared towards a specific purpose, but among the few we think Lyn is the best for it's speed, wide format compatibility, and good integration with popular online services.
If you've gotten all excited for iOS 4.3's great new features only to find that it won't let you sync with iTunes, weblog TUAW might have the solution: just re-sync your photo library.You can contact Whitson Gordon, the author of this post, at . You can also follow him on and .
Since most iPhones and iPod touches are, in fact, cameras, iPhoto will annoyingly launch itself every time you plug them in. It turns out, though, you can disable this behavior—the setting is just a little hidden.
You've taken digital pictures for years across multiple systems and camera upgrades, and now your collection is a mess. These free tools and techniques will fix your photos' metadata, weed out duplicates, reorganize folders, and otherwise whip your digital photos into shape.
CNET's Josh Lowensohn used his own mug as a standard to measure the facial recognition prowess of iPhoto, Windows Live Gallery, and newcomer face-finder Picasa 3.5. The verdict? Picasa 3.5, because it's all about the workflow of approving or denying face matches, which Picasa makes easiest. Do you see face-to-face…
If you regularly plug an iPhone and digital camera into your Mac, but don't always have iPhoto or another default app to open for every single camera it detects, you're in luck, at least if you're upgraded to Snow Leopard.
iLife '09—the release of Apple's bundled application suite that brings facial recognition to iPhoto and piano and guitar lessons to GarageBand—ships tomorrow, January 27. A new license will set you back $79, unless you bought a new Mac after January 6. New user upgrades are going for $10. [via]
Our brothers in gadgetry are live-blogging the Macworld 2009 keynote, and report that iPhoto in iLife '09 will have facial recognition that automatically groups photos by who's in them.
Mac OS X only: Freeware iPhoto plug-in FFXporter integrates with iPhoto to seamlessly upload your pics to the popular photo sharing web site, Flickr. Exporting pictures from iPhoto to Flickr with FFXporter is simple, and the uploads preserve the transfer of all your iPhoto metadata into Flickr—including titles,…

Install PhotoBook and log into your Facebook account to easily navigate users and albums in a decidedly user-friendlier interface than Facebook on the web. PhotoBook comes…
If yesterday's iPhoto and .Mac upgrades piqued your interest and you're thinking about ditching Flickr or your current photo sharing app, check out this .Mac Web Gallery to get a look at what the new web galleries have to offer. Among other things, the galleries require a fast internet connection, so don't count on…
iLife, iWork, and .Mac all saw updates at Apple's Town Hall event today. iWork has added a spreadsheet app called Numbers, iLife has a whole new iDVD, improved iPhoto and—among other changes—is touting integration with the new 10GB-storage .Mac, which marries iLife with the web in lots of fun new ways (like syncing…
