Top 10 Multinational ETFs 0 comments
There are many ETF choices in the multinational, regional and single country sector from which to choose. We've cobbled some good choices together. When viewing the AUM (Assets under Management) for these funds you'll note how popular these sectors must be. This is due to the high interest with globalizing investment portfolios for most investors.
There is a consistent mix of global (including U.S.) to international (ex-U.S.) ETFs to consider. Beyond this, most ETFs in this sector have similar characteristics and results. Some may be skewed given exposure to areas with better recent performance (U.S. inclusive) than others (eurozone).Back To David Fry's Instablog HomePage »

In power ranking each NBA playoff team's home-court advantage during the 2013 postseason, this list focuses on the 13 teams currently remaining as of Friday morning.
Following the elimination of the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets, each of the remaining home-court advantages are measured in terms of home record as well as environment.
While fan noise and energy are certainly more subjective, each regular-reason home record as well as postseason record from 2011-12 playoffs are identified throughout.
The home-court advantages specifically—along with how that environment helps its team perform at home—are then ranked accordingly.

Nearly 14 months after Margaret "Maggie" Wigen was found dead near her Tenakee Springs home, Alaska State Troopers on Thursday arrested the man they say raped and killed her.
James Harmon, 25, is scheduled to be arraigned in Juneau District Court today on charges of first-degree murder, first-degree sexual assault, two counts of attempted first-degree sexual assault and one count of second-degree theft, trooper spokesman Greg Wilkinson said.
Maggie Wigen's mother, Karin Wigen, said from Bisbee, Ariz., that she had mixed feelings after Juneau District Attorney Patrick Gullufsen called her with the long-awaited news.
"I'm relieved they arrested someone," she said. "But it brings everything back up."
Maggie Wigen was 19 when she was found dead on April 1, 2003, in a shallow grave in the Chichagof Island community about 45 miles southwest of Juneau. The community's spring population is less than 100.
Harmon had been working on a dam at a stream near the house where Wigen had been staying, according to community residents.
Troopers from the Alaska Bureau of Investigation and the Juneau post arrested Harmon at about 3:30 p.m. in Juneau without incident, Wilkinson said. They booked him at the Lemon Creek Correctional Center.
Wilkinson said he could not say what information led to the arrest.
When Wigen disappeared at the end of March 2003, her neighbors mobilized a search. Troopers searched throughout the weekend, March 29 and 30. Wigen's body was found about 50 feet from a cabin, up the hill from the center of town, by one of the community members who hadn't given up looking for her.
Notes kept by Dave Zeiger, who has since left the community, show that during the search, many considered Harmon a possible suspect. He lived on a boat in the harbor, which has since been pulled onto the beach.
The notes also indicate that Harmon left the island on an Alaska Marine Highway System ferry during the weekend of the search. Zeiger could not be reached by the Empire on Thursday.
Wigen is remembered by friends and neighbors as a thoughtful, independent woman, who often kept to herself. She split her time between Juneau and Tenakee Springs. While in Juneau, she worked at Rainbow Foods. She picked up odd jobs in Tenakee Springs.
Her mother, who previously lived in Juneau, told the Empire this spring that her daughter talked about becoming a wildlife biologist and planned to make her life mean something.
As the anniversary of Wigen's death approached, many in Tenakee Springs became vocal about demanding that the case not be forgotten.
Tenakee Springs Mayor Shelly Wilson said Thursday the arrest shows troopers weren't neglecting the case as some had feared. "I appreciate the efforts of the state troopers and their diligence with the case.
"Hopefully it will re-establish some of the trust in the troopers some of us might have lost," she said.
Karin Wigen said arrangements were being made so that she could attend today's arraignment by telephone. She said she will be back in Juneau soon and plans to make following the case her priority.
Wilson said she was happy that an arrest had been made in the case, but she was disappointed that the investigation led to Harmon. "I didn't think he was capable of doing it," she said.
Harmon, listed as a Juneau resident at the time of his arrest, had lived in Tenakee Springs "all his life off and on," Wilson said. In a community with no motorized traffic on the trail that separates the waterfront buildings from those on the hillside, everybody knows everyone else.
"He's lived in different communities, but he's always been part of our community," said Wilson.

Does anyone have any knowledge on how well AirTran is currently doing at RIC?
I know they had cited it being one of their weaker markets, however, they adjusted to a better schedule a year ago and from checking on line availability, they appear to be doing better. I flew them June 9th RIC-ATL-DTW and the RIC plane had approx an 80-90% load.
Any insights appreciated.

The method described is termed audiologic tinnitus management (ATM).Method: ATM was developed specifically for use by audiologists. Although certain procedural components were adapted from the methods of tinnitus masking and tinnitus retraining therapy, ATM is uniquely and specifically defined. A detailed description of the ATM assessment procedures is provided in the companion article (J. A. Henry, T. L. Zaugg, & M. A. Schechter, 2005). The present article describes a specific clinical protocol for providing treatment with ATM.Results: The treatment method described for ATM includes structured informational counseling and an individualized program of sound enhancement that can include the use of hearing aids, ear-level noise generators, combination instruments (noise generator and hearing aid combined), personal listening devices (wearable CD, tape, and MP3 players), and augmentative sound devices (e.g., tabletop sound generators). Ongoing treatment appointments involve primarily the structured counseling, evaluation, and adjustment of the use of sound devices, and assessment of treatment outcomes. The informational counseling protocol and an interview form for determining treatment outcomes are each described in step-by-step detail for direct clinical application.Conclusion: This article can serve as a practical clinical guide for audiologists to provide treatment for tinnitus in a uniform manner.

New Breakfast Options at Bomberos
Sometimes a scone and a killer latte are all you need to start the day on the right note, but sweets and caffeine aren't always enough to fuel you through the morning.
Wisely, the folks at Bomberos have figured this out, and are amping up their breakfast options beyond the yogurt, granola, and Tammie Coe pastries they've always served.
Now there are hot, savory items as well -- omelettes and breakfast wraps, each available with five different fillings (cheese, ham and cheese, veggie, ham and bacon, or chorizo). Breakfast hours start at 7 a.m. daily, and continue until 11 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and 3 p.m. Sunday.

Short story writer Gayle makes her debut as a novelist with this chronicle of a young, liberal New York lawyer who starts over in the South. The daughter of a famous civil rights champion, Natalie Goldberg stuns her parents by moving to Bibb County, Ga., to work as a prosecutor. The job was initially Natalie's excuse to flee her position at a Manhattan law firm after having an affair with partner Henry Tate and finding herself the scapegoat for a mistake he made. Though Natalie has some trouble acclimating to her new environs, and she butts heads with co-counsel, good ol' boy Ben Maddox, she slowly warms to life in Bibb County while attempting to balance her anti-death penalty stance with her desire to win a capital case. Natalie's dilemmas are perfectly played, and Gayle's economical prose is peppered with sharp sentences (also a few duds: "I felt as if I had been born full woman, Athena from Zeus's brow, with heavy breasts and dark pubic hair as curly as that atop my head") and clever fish-out-of-water observations. Don't be fooled by the ditzy jacket art. (July)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information
My Summer of Southern Discomfortby Stephanie Gayle
View All Available Formats & Editions
Today is Monday. The calls do not come as before. Weeks elapse between them, and when I answer the phone there is no overlap of voices, only my mother's. She spends much of the conversation avoiding mention of the pink elephant trumpeting in the middle of the room.
The pink elephant would be my defection to Georgia. When I telephoned with the news
Today is Monday. The calls do not come as before. Weeks elapse between them, and when I answer the phone there is no overlap of voices, only my mother's. She spends much of the conversation avoiding mention of the pink elephant trumpeting in the middle of the room.
The pink elephant would be my defection to Georgia. When I telephoned with the news of my imminent relocation my father asked, "Georgia, as in the Republic of Georgia by the Black Sea, or Georgia as in the Peach State?" He hoped I meant the former because that Georgia promised unique opportunities to advance the democratic cause of justice. What could Georgia, former land of the Confederacy, offer?
Convicting arsonists and thieves in Macon, Georgia, was never Harvard Law grad Natalie Goldberg's dream. The pay is abysmal, the work is exhausting, and the humidity is hell for a woman with curly hair. But when a steamy romance with her high-powered New York boss went bad, Natalie jumped at the first job offered, packed her bags, and headed south.
Natalie's leftist Yankee background brands her a conspicuous outsider in this insular community. Her father, a famous civil rights lawyer, refuses to accept her career change—or talk to her. Her best friend begs her to come back home, and Natalie keeps thinking she sees her former lover everywhere.
But Natalie's not completely alone. There are a garden-obsessed neighbor, a former beauty queen–turned–defense attorney, and a handsome colleague who has a nervous tic whenever she gets near. And then there's a capital case that has her eating antacids by the truckload.
Yep, it's going to be one heckuva long, hot summer. . . .

My Summer of Southern Discomfort

Chapter One
March 11, 2000
"I don't know why she swallowed the lye," the boy sings, emphasis on "don't." He slips the yellow package of bubble gum into his pocket too fast, then tilts his head up and smiles at me, teeth bright against his dark skin. Cute little thief.
"Dominic," his mother whispers. "What all are you doing?" She brushes raindrops from her tight, glossy curls.
"Practicing my magic trick." He returns the gum to its candy tray slot.
Good story, I think. Here in Georgia it is classified misdemeanor theft by shoplifting. I consider sentencing. A five-dollar fine? Community service?
His mother tells me, "He wants to be a magician this week." Anxious to assure me her son is no career criminal.
Unperturbed, he loads a bottle of juice onto the conveyor belt while singing, "I don't know why she swallowed the lye. I guess she'll die."
The supermarket smells of damp overcoats and soil. "This wet will help," the cashier says. "Before today it was so dry the trees were bribing the dogs." I tilt my head to the side and consider her comment. Oh. Ha. Will I ever understand this honeyed speech in real time?
Dominic tries to lift a heavy bag of potatoes from the depths of the cart. "I don't know why she swallowed the lye." He lets dramatic tension build before singing, "I guessshe'll diiiiiieeeee!"
His mother shooshes him while keeping her eyes focused on the automated scanner.
As he swings into the third verse his mother absentmindedly remarks in that mysterious way that reveals how maternal brains are focused on their children at all times, "Baby, it's fly, not lye. Fly."
No, no, I want to tell him. "Fly" doesn't make any sense. Who dies from swallowing a fly? No one. If swallowing flies was fatal, think how many motorcyclists would litter our highways! But lye makes sense. Lye is a poisonous substance. Swallowing it might kill the old lady. Although then the song would have only one verse.
I unload my small basket, careful not to touch the white plastic divider that separates my single-sized servings from Dominic's family's bulk containers of rice, beans, potatoes, orange juice, bananas, and deli meats. I forget I no longer live in the Northeast where such trespasses incur stricter punishments.
I place a container of low-fat peach yogurt on the conveyor belt and consider that maybe it is not lye after all but lie. What if the old lady swallowed a lie? Now there exists the basis for a multiple-versed song. Perhaps she swallowed a lie about someone's guilt and the police came to interview her and she had to go to court. I sing the song inside my head as I set my basket on the linoleum floor, on top of a discarded weekly with articles devoted to the upcoming Southern Belle Ball.
Dominic and his mother walk behind their bag-laden cart. It squeaks toward the automatic doors that will whoosh open and consume them and their song. I glance out the tall, fingerprint-smudged windows, checking to see if the rain has lessened.
"I don't know why she swallowed the lie."
A dark car drives past and I can feel my forehead tighten as I squint, trying to see if its license plate is blue and white. The falling rain obscures it. I contort my neck; adjust my stance, lean forward. Blue and white? White and blue? Which is it?
The car is gone before I can decide. Not that it matters. It's not him. I should know better.
The grocery clerk clears her throat again to get my attention. I mutter "sorry" and give her the money displayed on the register total. The grocery bag has a grinning pig face on it. "Keep dry now," the clerk calls after me.
The puddle-spotted parking lot is almost empty. I curl my toes inside my damp sneakers and try to think of a different song to sing. No use dwelling on the lies I swallowed that led me here, to the Piggly Wiggly parking lot in Macon, Georgia. No use wondering if swallowed lies ever dissolve or if they remain forever hard, like rocks. After a moment, I move toward my car and begin whistling "Oh, Susannah" because it is the first song I think of, it sounds cheerful, and it means nothing to me at all.

I bought this to read by the pool a few summers ago & it ended up on my bookshelf until a few weeks ago. The author really made me feel for Natalie. When reading the book I suddenly transformed into a New Yorker who was severely out of my element in Georgia & totally empathized with Natalie's every emotion. When it ended I was left wanting more - what exactly does Natalie's future hold?
Natalie Goldberg shocks her parents when she flees Manhattan to accept the position of prosecutor in Bibb County, Georgia. Her reason for heading south is much less altruistic than her being renowned for championing civil rights causes parents would appreciate. Natalie is forced to leave town as she is the fall girl for a major legal error by a full partner Henry Tate at the New York firm they worked Tate was her lover until he used her. Natalie struggles to adjust to the southern rusticate slower paced life style of Bibb County. She especially finds herself amused and angry often at the same time when she and prosecutor Ben Maddox, whose connections prove the old south still runs the county, argue the merits of a case or how to save the world, NRA style. However her biggest adjustment is capital punishment, which she opposes on moral grounds, but as a Georgia prosecutor she must prosecute these cases with fervor that is what she is working on as she finds herself increasingly enjoying life in Bibb County, Georgia. --- MY SUMMER OF SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT is a superb character study that uses the setting of a legal thriller (although thriller seems a bit too strong) to look deep at the adjustments and adaptability of a person totally changing professional and personal lifestyles. The well written story line focuses on Natalie¿s struggles to adapt from sophisticated Manhattanite to working with and for ignorant rednecks over time she concludes the locals are much deeper than just dumb hicks as she first thought. Readers will enjoy the New Yorker¿s southern comfit transformation (though this reviewer admits a strong bias as a former borough resident who moved to Atlanta). --- Harriet Klausner
I truly enjoyed reading this great new book. I am always looking for new authors and I've discovered a gem. I found the story to be very compelling. There was a great deal of character development and I found myself deeply invested in Natalie's new life in the South as she navigated the strange new waters she was in. The court case was also interesting, but the focus was more on Natalie's personal growth as she escaped New York City and her heartache there. I highly recommend this book!
This was a great Summer read!
Easy, but interesting summer read. I liked the main character throughout, and could relate to her, but I felt like the book tried to pick up too many plot points (moving, NY, South, job, family, friends, love, work, big case, murder trial, possible love interest, helping love interests family, etc) and then seemed rushed. (Hence--what the reviewer below was saying, rushed climax, but there indeed was one, it was just rushed. It was her decision if that helps.) I liked the authors writing style, it was effortless, entertaining, and believable.
I am from a town just north of Macon GA so the setting is what sold me on buying the book, along with the really cute book cover. I love Chick Lit books with lots of comedy and of course, romance! I figured that was what I was in for. Boy, was I wrong! May I ask what the actual plot of the book was? If anyone knows, can you please tell me? I could not, for the life of me, figure out what it was. Plus, I kept waiting (and waiting) for a climax. I never got one. One word: BORING! Also, I am from the south and could not relate to any of the characters!

According to the Associated Press, Cavaliers center Shaquille O'Neal took part in practice on Thursday. O'Neal has been out since February 25th with a thumb injury, which he suffered in the first half of a game against the Celtics. The Cavaliers have gone 14-2 in his absence, but have benefited from a favorable schedule.
Bryan Colangelo: 76ers had losing culture
Sam Hinkie's Process made sense on paper. Get young, lose, draft high, repeat until the 76ers stockpiled enough talent to surge forward with a clean cap sheet.
But the Process didn't unfold on paper, and there was always a catch. What damage would years of losing do to the organization and the real people within it?
We know some of the fallout. The Process embarrassed ownership, leading to Hinkie's ouster. It also – according to Hinkie's replacement, Bryan Colangelo, – created a toxic environment.
Colangelo, via The Vertical Podcast with Woj:
Really, factually, there was a losing culture. There was a losing mindset.
It had been ingrained partly because of the undertaking of rebuilding that they had been going through. And it's a byproduct of the rebuilding process, if you will. You're going to lose some games along the way, and it becomes part of the fabric of the team and the organization.
And I think more than anything the mindset needed to shift. The mindset needed to change. And that's why we've been talking about winning and doing everything to promote winning, promote a culture of excellence, to promote better thought process in everything.
Keep in mind, the worse the 76ers are perceived at the time Colangelo took over, the better he'll look.
But there was real evidence of a bad culture – from Jahlil Okafor's fighting to Joel Embiid's coachability to Nerlens Noel's tardiness. Players knew maximum focus and effort wouldn't result in winning anyway, so that made it easier for bad habits to develop. Those bad habits can be contagious. Try as he might, coach Brett Brown couldn't stem the tide.
Colangelo is trying to go a different way, bringing in veterans like Elton Brand, Gerald Henderson and Jerryd Bayless. Philadelphia won't have as many roster spots for young players with upside, and those vets occupy cap space. But, right or wrong, Colangelo identified a problem and is trying to fix it.
Report: Ben Simmons suffered acute foot injury, will need surgery
Within hours of the Sixers' No. 1 pick Ben Simmons going down with a foot injury that might derail his rookie season, the rumors about it being weight related started. Simmons needed to add weight coming it of LSU and had reportedly put on more than 30 pounds since the draft. Was that too much too quickly? Both players and major trainers have said yes.
The Sixers have moved to shoot this down, saying this was an acute fracture — something that happened suddenly, from stepping on a teammate's foot Friday during a scrimage — and was not stress related, as would happen with weight issues.
More importantly, the severity of the break means surgery, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.
Surgery will mean Simmons likely will miss a majority — if not all — of the coming season, and you can be sure the Sixers will be cautious bringing him back (we saw that with Joel Embiid).
This is just deflating to a Sixers franchise that has had terrible luck with injuries the past couple of years. And yes, some people around the league quietly will say this is karma for all the tanking.
Celtics' Terry Rozier says he wants all of Evan Turner's minutes
There is a pecking order in the Celtics backcourt: Isaiah Thomas is the scoring/playmaking point guard, with Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart playing the more defensive backcourt teammate role next to him at different times.
Still, there are minutes to be had — Evan Turner is no longer in camp and the secondary playmaker. He is on another coast trying to become the other playmaker Portland needs.
Second-year player Terry Rozier wants those minutes.
Good. Celtics fans should like that their young player is saying this.
More importantly, reports out of Celtics training camp say Rozier is playing very well, using his speed to create shots for himself and others. It's been a great change of pace for the Celtics, one Brad Stevens could put to use this season.
Rozier is going to be coming off the bench, but if he can do that and bring this energy and shot creation, he's going to get plenty of run this season. And be another part of a strong young core in Boston that just keeps getting better.
51Q: Will a few veterans make 76ers good enough to justify ousting Sam Hinkie?
We continue PBT's 2016-17 NBA preview series, 51 Questions. For the past few weeks, and through the start of the NBA season, we tackle 51 questions we cannot wait to see answered during the upcoming NBA season. We will delve into one almost every day between now and the start of the season. Today:
Will a few veterans actually make the 76ers good enough to justify ousting Sam Hinkie?
The Philadelphia 76ers are going to lose a lot of games this season. They will be one of the worst teams in the NBA. Again.
Now that reality feels even worse. The loss of No. 1 pick Ben Simmons to a broken foot for at least part of the season was a punch to the gut for Sixers fans who finally had hope "the process" was about to start to pay off with wins and promise.
Take a step back from this latest in an entirely too long list of setbacks, and a key question remains:
Are the Sixers now on the right track?
As a corollary to that, would the Sixers be just as good if Sam Hinkie were still the man in charge? Or has the father/son combination of Jerry and Bryan Colangelo steered the ship in the right direction? Did this team need established veterans to both guide the young players and create a better locker room culture?
We know where Bryan Colangelo stands, look at what he said on The Vertical Podcast with Adrian Wojnarowski:
Really, factually, there was a losing culture. There was a losing mindset….
And I think more than anything the mindset needed to shift. The mindset needed to change. And that's why we've been talking about winning and doing everything to promote winning, promote a culture of excellence, to promote better thought process in everything.
Apparently, that means bring in more veterans. This season Jerryd Bayless, Sergio Rodriguez, Gerald Henderson, and Elton Brand will be part of the mix with Joel Embiid, Nerlens Noel, Jahlil Okafor, Dario Saric, and, eventually, Simmons. Those veterans are there to change the mindset and make sure the team wins more than the 10 games it did last season.
What Colangelo now preaches is what a lot of executives around the league said while Hinkie was the guy with the hammer in Philly. Those other execs understood the tanking — every franchise is willing to suffer a bad season or two in order to get a high draft pick — but it was the sustained level and intensity of the tanking that disturbed people. It was the cold turning over of the back end of the roster searching for a diamond in the rough rather than bringing in guys to help win a few games. Where was the Kevin Garnett in Minnesota leader of a young core? If a team is that bad for that long, doesn't it seep into the culture, the DNA of a franchise?
One could make the case that happened in Philadelphia. That's why Okafor was getting in fights, why Embiid wasn't listening to staff and on down the line. Young players were developing bad habits, and while Brett Brown did all anyone could ask of a coach to turn that around, it takes a player or players to set the tone. Veterans can do that, although it takes the right veterans (ask the Lakers how it goes when Nick Young is the only veteran actually hanging out with a young core of players while better examples keep mostly to themselves).
The question remains, would things be that much different in Philly if Hinkie were in charge? In terms of perception, maybe, but in terms of wins? In terms of direction?
Any success the Colangelos have will be built on the foundation of Hinkie and his process. They may not think of him as a "basketball guy" but the Colangelos owe Hinkie — he took the slings and arrows while compiling a treasure chest of picks other teams covet. The Colangelos are certainly more transparent, or at least give that impression by meeting more with the media and selling their vision. The Colangelos certainly have better relationships with agents and other teams than Hinkie, who was not beloved. It was certainly Joshua Harris and the Philadelphia owners — likely with a push from Adam Silver (although he denies it) — who grew weary of the losing and wanted to make the change.
But all of that is very different from saying this year's Sixers will win a lot more games because Hinkie was pushed out the door.
Hinkie is now living the good life in Palo Alto, California, with his family. He's relaxing (as much as he relaxes). At some point he will get another shot, he will be brought in as an assistant GM somewhere if he wants it. And like anyone who does any job, he likely learned a lot about how to do it better through his struggles.
Do the veterans and maybe a couple of wins justify ousting Hinkie? The question is largely moot — the deed is done. Hinkie is gone in Philly.
But he shouldn't be forgotten — this is his roster as much as anyone's. Whether you like how it was put together or not.

HOUSTON - Houston police now have an old jet airliner to use as a training site.
Police officials said Monday the retired Boeing 737 had been used as an Air Force trainer in San Antonio and was set to be decommissioned.
Houston Congressman Ted Poe used his connections to get the aircraft to the department at no taxpayer cost.
Officials say are unaware of any other big city having such a training platform.

Buy Xopenex Over The Counter, Come March, I'm going to try to run a D&D campaign. It's been more than a year since I played D&D, Xopenex mexico, and I miss it. I'll be using D&D Next, and I'm still in the early planning stages, Xopenex craiglist.
When prepping a campaign, 20mg Xopenex, you first need to look at the concept. In my case, I know I'll be playing D&D, Xopenex coupon, and want as wide a variety of options for players as I can, 250mg Xopenex, so we'll be playing in a general fantasy world. Beyond that, I have a few ideas, buy Xopenex Over The Counter.
1. The Godfell Stone, 100mg Xopenex. I loved this campaign, Xopenex usa, but it didn't really get off the ground. Combat took up most of our game sessions, as we were playing 4e, 10mg Xopenex, so we didn't get as far into the campaign as I hoped we would before I moved. Buy Xopenex Over The Counter, In this campaign, the players are trying to track down the thief who stole an artifact capable of killing the gods themselves. 50mg Xopenex, 2. Midnight Sun. The sun set yesterday, Xopenex japan, and never rose. 500mg Xopenex, The Emperor summons the heroes, begging for their help. Can the heroes find out what caused the darkness, as the world grows ever colder, buy Xopenex Over The Counter.
3, 40mg Xopenex. The Dracos Conclave. 750mg Xopenex, In ages long past, two dragons, brothers, Xopenex paypal, wove the deepest magic to become terrible dracoliches. Xopenex ebay, The world was razed, and the dracoliches fell into slumber. Buy Xopenex Over The Counter, It has been over 10,000 years. A council of dragons has met, Xopenex us, and seek to reawaken the dracolich brothers. Xopenex uk, If they do, the world was we know it will end.
Those are the three ideas I have so far, 150mg Xopenex. All of them are epic storylines, 200mg Xopenex, and will allow the players to rise in power to eventually find victory and save the world... or die in the process, buy Xopenex Over The Counter.
I believe that a concept is really important in planning out a campaign. Without it, Xopenex india, your players will spend a lot of time pointlessly wandering, Xopenex canada, looking for treasure. While that may be fine, in my opinion, 1000mg Xopenex, there's a much more enriching and fulfilling an experience in running a campaign with a beginning, Xopenex australia, middle, and end.
So, Xopenex overseas, if you were playing in my campaign, 30mg Xopenex, which would you choose. Let me know in the comments.
Also, be sure to like Dice Monkey on Facebook. We're almost to 100 fans.

A perfect profession for one seeking to hide out in the open. One day Henry arrives at his next assignment. Upon his entry into this particular school, a secret world of emotion is awakened within him by three women. A girl named Meredith in his first period. A fellow teacher Ms. Madison, and a street hooker named Erica, whom Henry has personally granted brief shelter from the streets. Each one of these women, like Henry, are in a life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

i enjoyed this movie. I think there was alot of imagery used and accordingly, and I love the portrayals as depicted by the actors/actresses. I wonder if he took the permanent position?

One of the reviews here piqued my attention because of which I decided to watch it.....and man what a wise decision I made. A sunny day here in Atlanta and Im watchin this movie, dreamin of being a teacher some day - inspirting impressionable minds. Inspite of the f**kd up system in some stratas of society - shows how a teacher can heal a human soul. Truly reflective and has a great identity ! 9/10 and highly recommended. On a side note - never knew Adrian Brody could be such an awesome actor. On par with Matt Damon, Al Pacino and Ethan Hawke (from the before sun.. movies) !
|Posted by wcuram18 3 years, 8 months ago
this applies to everything, I'm willing to bet that if you'd ask Adrian, he'd tell you this was his favorite movie. funny how when some people hear or see the truth, all they say is how depressing it was and they prefer to "feel good"
|Posted by hlucn8tn 3 years, 8 months ago
Every movie Adrien Brody has been in, that I have seen, has been awesome and over-the-top as far as his acting and the feelings that each of his movies produce. He brings Drama to a superior level and this movie falls right into play with his past endevers. I wasn't going to watch this movie at first after reading the epaloge and some of the reviews that have been left but I told myself that Brody has never been in a movie that hasn't been worth watching. I am glad I gave this movie a chance and it did not let me down. It does play with your emotions. The plot is well written. The stories with-in the story are pieces of a great puzzle. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did for a Drama...9/10

|Posted by rum_ukoro 3 years, 9 months ago
brilliant movie. really made me think about my own life. i love how, unlike most films, it doesn't only have one message, and each message is not obvious. i think every person will get their own message from it. personally i took from it that detachment only helps yourself and in the end will cause bigger hurts than if you put yourself out there, or at least form a few attachments. It's small but means allot to me. Also, like real life, this film successfully depicts the idea that 'you win some and you loose some' and whilst this may give the impression of being 'depressing', that's what life is like, and at i appreciate that i dnt get any false hopes like 'no matter where your from you can always have a happy ending', because in the end, when you realise this a big ol' lie, you will fall harder! 10/10

Customer Reviews
I personally would like to thank the staff of Hereford station for their ability to control an incident which was totally outside of their control
The incident of a crane hitting a bridge on Sunday Dec 22nd was one of those things which a proactive positive management rose to the... Read more challenge. The situation that occurred required the transfer of passages from Hereford to Abergavenny by coach. This was carried in a methodical
manner under the supervision by the Hereford station staff. The passengers entered Abergavenny to find that trains were cancelled. However the coaches then proceeded to all relevant stations terminating at Cardiff central.
Getting home later rather than sooner is better than not getting home at all. Once again a big thank you to your staff on their control of this unforeseen
circumstance gives credit to the staff that handled the situation. Wishing you all a happy New Year.

Jump-start for 'hybrid' cars? Pennsylvania and New Jersey are considering legislation to require that total vehicle sales include a percentage of low- or zero-emission cars. Other states have enacted such laws. But the federal government has joined a lawsuit to overturn them.
October 14, 2002
By Tom Avril INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Mark Brody hung on to the old Volvo for years, waiting for manufacturers to come out with an environmentally friendly car. When that finally happened, he had to wait a few months more. In December, Brody bought one of the new generation of "hybrid" vehicles - low-pollution, high-mileage machines that are popular with environmentally conscious consumers but hard to find on the East Coast. That scarcity could change if lawmakers on both sides of the Delaware River adopt a California program requiring that manufacturers sell a certain percentage of vehicles with zero emissions - mainly pure electric cars - or very low emissions, like Brody's Toyota Prius.
Purchasing a hybrid car is about more than money One early adopter allows himself a smile of self-satisfaction.
June 20, 2006
By Rob Fleming
Last summer, when gas first hit $3 per gallon, I bought a hybrid vehicle. Although I had been planning to make that purchase before gas prices hit the roof, now that they are once again soaring, I have to admit a bit of smugness has set in. You see, I took a lot of flak when I bought the hybrid. I was bombarded with such comments as: "It's not worth it. " "You'll never make your money back. " "These cars don't get the mileage that's advertised. " And on and on. The scorn and ridicule I endured was not born out of a lack of belief in hybrid technology, which relies on a combination of gasoline and electricity to power the vehicle.
Giving credit where it's 2 Hybrid cars - using both gasoline and electric power - can get hefty tax breaks in '06.
August 20, 2005
By Andres R. Martinez INQUIRER WASHINGTON BUREAU
Drivers seeking to beat rising gas prices by buying hybrid vehicles could save more money if they are patient. Starting next year, people who buy or lease hybrid vehicles - cars or sport-utility vehicles powered by both gasoline and electric engines - can get tax credits of up to $3,400. The credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in what you owe in income taxes. It is included in the energy bill that President Bush signed into law Aug. 8. Not all hybrids have been approved for the credit, and how much you will get back depends on the efficiency of the car and when you buy it. In addition, a cap on how many hybrid purchases qualify and waiting lists for some hybrids mean you will have to act fast.

A call to action I hope Thursday's attacks in London will alert leaders around the world, be they from Africa or one of the G-8 countries, that they should finally take steps to tackle the poverty and injustice, at home and abroad, that leads to such acts. I grew up near London and have friends and relatives there, yet I feel only sadness and anger that this had to happen, because I knew in my heart it would. Death is part of life. Throughout the world, every day, thousands die early from accidents and natural disasters.
How Gas Leads To Fat
January 7, 2002
ON JAN. 3, Men's Fitness magazine released its 2002 ranking of the fittest and fattest cities. Although Philly has improved from when it was ranked the Fattest City a few years ago, we're still 4th Fattest. Interestingly, it's not just our love of junk food, poor health habits and penchant for TV-watching that's doing us in. Our sad environmental state also drags us down. According to the magazine, Philly gets a mediocre "C" grade for air quality and an embarrassing "F" grade for its water quality.
Making Earth Day last the other 364 Our planet and its environment are at the heart of weekend events.
April 21, 2006
By Dana Reddington INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Commemorating Earth Day on Saturday is a good start, but teaching children what they can do to help the environment year-round is a great way to keep the message going. To that end comes Temple University Ambler's EarthFest 2006. Six thousand students from area elementary, middle and high schools are signed up to attend today's outdoor event, which is open to the public. "The goal is really to get students from the youngest all the way up through college age thinking about the communities - how they can be good environmental stewards," says James Duffy, a Temple Ambler spokesman.
Letters Militarism is not the way to fight terrorism
October 29, 2002
America has a serious problem with terrorism that won't be solved by military domination of the world. Why? Because the problem of terrorist assaults within our borders is itself a response to U.S. military domination of the Middle East and other parts of the world. More of the latter will only exacerbate the former. The invasion of Iraq is a distraction from what we need to be focusing on, which is an element of very motivated, very smart and very ruthless individuals bent on tormenting and confusing us with international jujitsu.

Creative energy Area students tackle alternative fuels, but lawmakers keep focus on oil.
April 15, 2002
More creativity flowed out of West Philadelphia than Washington last week on how to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. At the Capitol, the Senate slogged through week four of largely unproductive debate on energy policy. Here, the Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities Program showcased innovative alternative-fuel vehicles, demonstrating how new technologies could reduce U.S. oil consumption. On display at the West Philadelphia Automotive Academy on Thursday was an orange electric Saturn built by 15 students guided by math teacher Simon Hauger.

Timeline uncertain for Fisker's Delaware car plant
February 10, 2012
By Maria Panaritis, Inquirer Staff Writer
Fisker Automotive Inc., which this week said it was laying off 26 workers at a former General Motors plant in Wilmington that was being readied for the manufacture of hybrid cars, said Thursday that it was unclear when production would begin there, given protracted talks over financing with the U.S. Department of Energy. The company, based in Anaheim, Calif., has drawn no money since May from a federally backed $528.7 million loan for green-car production. Fisker and federal officials have been discussing continuing the loan despite several missed milestones that had been set to remain in compliance, Fisker spokesman Roger Ormisher said Thursday.

A recipe for cutting U.S. oil usage Two key ingredients: Higher gasoline taxes and more hybrid cars.
November 9, 2007
By Tom Mast
The supplies to feed America's voracious appetite for oil continue to tighten, and we have not yet done anything effective to reduce our dependence on this commodity that is so vital to our economy. What is the U.S. position in the world oil scene? Even though the United States has only 2.4 percent of the world's oil reserves, it uses about 25 percent of all oil consumed. The United States uses about 21 million barrels per day of oil. Of this, it imports 12.5 million, or more than 60 percent.

More and more motorists and fleet buyers are doing the same as gasoline prices continue to rise, according to the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers.
Plug-in hybrid car extends technology It's a promising solution close at hand.
August 7, 2006
By David A. Kirsch
For more than 100 years, the battery-electric car has been the car of tomorrow, but never the car of today. Why? A new documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car?, offers a captivating attempt to answer this question, but falls victim to the usual purist laments that sidetrack public policy. The "inconvenient truth" is that the battery-electric car - supposedly unsoiled by any fossil fuels - will never replace the family sedan. Those who continue to push for it are chasing a utopian dream, and ignoring a promising solution that is close at hand: the "plug-in hybrid," which recharges at home like a battery-electric car, but also draws power from a gasoline engine.

¡Pío Peep! Traditional Spanish Nursery Rhymesby Alma Flor Ada F. Isabel Campoy Alice Schertle
Spanish oral folklore is rich in nursery rhymes and songs. Some rhymes are fragments of ancient medieval ballads; others, such as De colores, are old harvest songs. Some are frequently sung as lullabies, like Este niño lindo, others as finger plays, like Palmas palmitas. Some rhymes accompany games, such as El patio de mi casa, while others are unending rhymes that can be repeated as long as the child wants, like El barquito or La hormiguita. In most cases the rhymes and songs originated in Spain and crossed the Atlantic with the language, to delight children in all the nineteen Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America as well as the American Southwest, occasionally changing along the way. Of the ones we have collected here, three are from Mexico--La víbora de la mar, La piñata, and Tortillitas--the rest are well-known throughout the Spanish-speaking world. We have purposely selected some of the best known and most loved rhymes as an introduction to this genre. To make the selection for this book, we reviewed numerous anthologies from Spain and Latin America, among them those of Carmen Bravo Villasante, Arturo Medina, and Ana Pellegrin in Spain; Elsa Isabel Bornemann and Maria Elena Walsh in Argentina; the series Así cantan y juegan..., published by CONAFE in Mexico, and many more. Finally, faced with the decision to select among hundreds, we chose those nursery rhymes and songs that we cherished in our own childhoods, and those the numerous children--Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican, and Central American--with whom we have worked love the most. En este libro la palabra se hace canto y juego para los más pequeñitos. Dirigida a niños de uno a seis años, esta maravillosa colección bilingüe de rimas tradicionales infantiles, que han sido transmitidas de generación en generación, que celebra la infancia y la herencia española y latinoamericana, será un fiel acompañante de los niños al momento de dormir o de jugar. Los versos se caracterizan por su gran ritmisidad y las adaptaciones inglesas son excelentes pues mantienen el ritmo, metro y sentido general de las originales, haciendo las rimas tan inolvidables y fácilmente memorizadas tanto en inglés como lo son en el idioma español. Esta colección, ilustrada bellamente por una artista española, está destinada a encantar a los niños y a transformarse en un clásico tanto para los más pequeños como para la familia.

Yes! We Are Latinos!by Alma Flor Ada F. Isabel Campoy
Juanita lives in New York and is Mexican. Felipe lives in Chicago and is Panamanian, Venezuelan, and black. Michiko lives in Los Angeles and is Peruvian and Japanese. Each of them is also Latino. Thirteen young Latinos and Latinas living in America are introduced in this book celebrating the rich diversity of the Latino and Latina experience in the United States. Free-verse fictional narratives from the perspective of each youth provide specific stories and circumstances for the reader to better understand the Latino people's quest for identity. Each profile is followed by nonfiction prose that further clarifies the character's background and history, touching upon important events in the history of the Latino American people, such as the Spanish Civil War, immigration to the US, and the internment of Latinos with Japanese ancestry during World War II. Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy's informational yet heartwarming text provides a resource for young Latino readers to see themselves, while also encouraging non-Latino children to understand the breadth and depth of the contributions made by Latinos in the US. Caldecott Medalist David Diaz's hand-cut illustrations are bold and striking, perfectly complementing the vibrant stories in the book. YES! WE ARE LATINOS stands alone in its presentation of the broad spectrum of Latino culture and will appeal to readers of fiction and nonfiction.

What Can you Expect? —A Data Collection Project Using Linux
I have been doing a fair amount of testing and monitoring on the system and hardware clocks of my Debian 2.0 machine that I use for file (Samba), communication (ISDN/masq/diald), printing and modem pool (mserver) service on my home office network. I wanted to see how well I could correct the system clock with adjtimex without running ntpd all the time and keeping the ISDN line to my ISP up. I had been recording daily data for the clocks and an ntp (network time protocol) reference server using the logging feature of adjtimex with cron and an Expect script. I was noticing some odd changes from day to day, and was beginning to wonder if temperature was affecting the server's system clock.
adjtimex allows you to fiddle with the kernel parameters which control the system clock. The file /etc/rc.boot/adjtimex contains settings for TICK and FREQ, the coarse and fine settings used to tune out variations in the frequency of the crystal oscillator on the motherboard which supplies the interrupts to the system clock timekeeping process. The command:
/usr/sbin/adjtimex --log --host ns.nts.umn.edu
logs data for the reference ntp server, in this case ns.nts.umn.edu, the system clock and the hardware clock to /var/log/clocks.log. By using
adjtimex --review=/var/log/clocks.logyou can get suggested changes for TICK and FREQ which will tune the kernel clock and hopefully get it to match the ntp reference server. This is all well and good, as long as the clock crystal is stable; but what if it varies with temperature?
What if I could measure and record the temperature near or actually inside the server? I could then correlate the temperature data with the system clock data to see if they were related. I have a Micronta (Radio Shack) digital multimeter with a serial interface. All I needed to collect the data was a circuit to convert temperature to voltage and interface the meter to a serial port on the server.
A little research on the Net turned up a couple of thermocouple to millivolt converters, but they cost much more than I wanted to pay. Being an electrical engineer and having worked at a measurement company for many years, I knew that a temperature to volts converter circuit is fairly simple. A couple of friends helped out by putting together a circuit that provides .01 volts out per degree Fahrenheit that fits on a piece of vector board about an inch square and runs from a 9-volt battery. See Figures 1 and 2 for the schematic diagram and a picture.
The Micronta No. 22-182 LCD Digital Multimeter comes with a five-conductor cable and a short section in the manual describing test programs for MS-DOS and MS-BASIC. A quick check showed that these worked fine. The serial interface communication parameters are 1200 baud, 7 data bits, no parity and 2 stop bits. Using the meter's continuity test function, I made a cable drawing as shown in Figure 3, a complete pinout and description of the serial port signals as found on a PC. These ports have male connectors with either 9 or 25 pins, and are wired as DTE (data terminal equipment). The RS-232 specification is designed so that a DTE port as on the PC can be connected to a piece of DCE (data communication equipment), typically a modem, with a straight-through cable. DCE usually has a female connector. You can use Table 1 to wire up a 9-pin to 25-pin conversion cable if you need one. Now I was ready to try reading the meter on Linux.
Before I hooked up the cable to /dev/ttyS0, I checked to see if there were any drivers like getty or gpm running on the port. Sure enough, there was a leftover gpm driver for a mouse, even though the mouse had long since been disconnected. I did an
/etc/init.d/gpm stop
and renamed the init script with
mv /etc/init.d/gpm /etc/init.d/nogpmto prevent gpm from restarting in the event of a reboot. If you have a getty process running on the port, you will have to disable it by commenting out the correct line in /etc/inetd.conf and restarting init with
kill -HUP 1Use something like
ps auxw|grep ttyto make sure the serial port you are trying to use is free.
I used stty to set the port to the meter's communication parameters with this command:
stty speed 1200 cs7 cstopb -echo clocal < \ /dev/ttyS0
speed 1200 sets the baud rate, cs7 sets 7 data bits, cstopb sets 2 stop bits and parity is none by default. I added the -echo to make sure the device driver didn't echo back characters sent to the port and clocal to disable the modem control signals.
I decided to use Expect to collect the data, since the meter has a very simple "send a command" and "get a response" paradigm. Expect is a powerful tool and can be used to automate UNIX programs which interact with a user or processes needing a command or trigger and return some kind of response. Expect is built on top of Tcl, a widely used extensible language. I had recently discovered Expect and found it is one of those tools you just don't know how you ever got along without. You can easily automate things with Expect that are extremely difficult or next to impossible with shell scripts or other languages. Sol Libes' book, Exploring Expect, was a valuable resource. Mr. Libes is the author of Expect. I also found the Expect and Tcl web pages very helpful. I had previously used Expect to automate a couple of tasks such as the clock data logging mentioned above.
The meter protocol is very simple: send the meter a D\r (a capital D followed by a return), and it sends back a 14-character string ending in a \r (return). The message sent back by the meter is of the form:
Byte 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E Ex. 1 D C - 1 . 9 9 9 9 V \r Ex. 2 1 . 9 9 9 9 M o h m \r
In practice, since this is a 3-1/2 digit multimeter, a space character replaces the least significant digit in column 9.

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
