Joe Rosenberg is known for his candor, and for his understanding of all major asset classes. That comes from 50 years of experience on Wall Street, and his deep knowledge of markets and financial history. After beginning his career as an airline analyst at Bache in the 1960s, he was hired in 1973 by the late Larry Tisch at Loews, L 0.31800391389432486% Loews Corp.

Rosenberg recalls that some people, including Barron's columnist Alan Abelson, told him that he might not last long at Loews because he and Tisch both were too strong-willed to get along well.
Yet, Rosenberg has been there ever since. He was chief investment officer until 1995, when he became chief investment strategist. He's also an advisor to Loews' current CEO, Jim Tisch, Larry's son. In addition, Rosenberg is a director of CNA Financial, the property-and-casualty insurer controlled by Loews.

Rosenberg doesn't always get things right. He was bullish on Fannie Mae and bank stocks prior to the financial crisis, during which financial stocks were crushed and Fannie Mae was taken over by the government.

Barron's: Europe has been a big overhang for the U.S. stock market. How bad is it?
Rosenberg: People are projecting a worst-case scenario about intertwined banking systems in Europe and the United States. That fear factor is what is impelling people to stay away from equities in the United States, and is precisely why equities here are so attractively priced. Now, I am not going to say all equities. There is a big disparity in valuations between the best companies in the world, large-cap companies—both growth and value—and small-cap stocks, which have done well over the past few years, and are not as attractively priced. The price/book ratio of the S&P 500 relative to the Russell 2000 is near a multidecade low (see graph).
In my 50 years on Wall Street, it is rare that I've been so attracted to some of the best and finest companies.

Stocks have disappointed for a long time.
We're at an inflection point in history, and that's what I want to emphasize. I'm not talking about a trade. I don't know what is going to happen next week or next month.
In terms of economic history, the equity market looks a lot like the Treasury-bond market in the early 1980s, when I had the most difficult time convincing people that they ought to buy bonds at 15% yields. Equities can easily generate a 10% annualized total return over the next five to 10 years. And they would still not be overvalued at that point. That's the beauty of it.
What should investors do?
If investors are afraid to put all their money into equities at one time, keep cash—and then every time you get another one of these scares, add to your position.
Investors are running scared.
These scares are nothing new in financial history. Sometimes, the scares are financial, and sometimes they are political. I can recall worse scares than the current one. Nobody wanted to go near equities during the Cuban missile crisis. That was a much worse scare than this one. It didn't last as long, but it was much worse, because we were actually on nuclear alert in this country. You can have cheap equity prices or good news, but you can't have both at the same time.
Many investors are worried that a weakening economy will mean earnings disappointments in 2012.
I think earnings will hold up well next year, but my base case isn't so much about the short-term earnings outlook.
A lot of the smart money has a very low allocation to U.S. stocks, including university endowments at Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
In the endowment world, everybody wants to be in vogue, so if you suggest to a fund that they ought to buy private equity, they are happy to do that. The wonderful thing about private equity is that you don't get marked-to-market every day. With stocks, you have to be prepared to suffer some volatility, but the reward for that volatility is the ability to buy companies at prices that are, relatively speaking, as cheap as I have ever seen in my career.
One of my key points is that some of the largest potential investors are all underinvested in equities, and they will get reinvested in equities because these are long cycles. When I first came to Wall Street, the typical pension plan was managed by U.S. Trust, and it would be two-thirds in bonds yielding 2% or 3%, and the rest in equities. That was a carryover from the 1930s and '40s. It later completely reversed.

Many investors are worried about the political backdrop.
America has loads of problems, but I certainly don't believe that the country's best days are behind it. The current administration doesn't exactly foster a positive environment for the business community, either through its rhetoric or through excessive regulation. But even that has a positive aspect to it. With business leaders so cautious, corporate balance sheets are in superb condition.
How do U.S. stocks compare with other asset classes?
It's important to look at all investments on a relative basis. One alternative to equities is to earn nothing on your money at all in cash. Now, earning nothing on your money is not without its risks, because your money can prove to be relatively worthless.
The return on government bonds and the return on cash is indistinguishable. It is basically zero. Now, why would somebody want to invest in a five-year Treasury bond at 87 basis points (87/100ths of a percentage point) for five years?
There was a time in the 1980s that I used to scream that people should buy five-year Treasuries yielding 16%, and I would have arguments. People would say to me, "Well, you know, government budget deficits are out of control, and that's why yields are so high." Well, if government budget deficits were out of control when Treasuries were paying 16%, what do those same people say to me about government budget deficits being out of control now, when government bonds are paying 87 basis points?
Looking back, bonds have been a great asset class.
The great bond bull market began 30 years ago, in September of 1981. For the past 30 years, 30-year Treasury bonds have outperformed the S&P 500. The last time that phenomenon occurred was in 1842. That is how far back you have to go. Now if you want to look at a period of 20-year outperformance, you have to go back to 1939. While I was around in 1939, I wasn't managing money actively back then.
How are stocks valued?
Many companies have price/earnings ratios of 10, and free-cash flow yields of 10%. So these companies can basically LBO themselves [do a leveraged buyout] by borrowing two- to three-year money at 2% or 3% and buying an earning asset yielding 10% or more.
So, what's your advice?

You've been bullish on Microsoft for years, and the stock has gone nowhere. What could change that?

But Microsoft by every metric is better than IBM. Its top-line growth is better. Its valuation is better. Its return on capital is better. Microsoft has a 12-month trailing-earnings yield of 10%; IBM's is around 7%.
Is Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer part of the problem?
He is focused on operations, and should be focused on that, but he should listen to other people about the capital-allocation process. He should be more aggressive in buying back stock.
There are two things that IBM CEO Sam Palmisano has done, and that Buffett alluded to recently. By the way, I think that Buffett came pretty late to the IBM party. Palmisano basically has laid out a series of five-year plans, and he has met those targets. He also has communicated his intentions and his desires to Wall Street.
In this area, Steve Ballmer has been deficient. He has antagonized Wall Street by his absence. Why should he care about the stock price? His employees are shareholders. A better stock price certainly would help attract young people to work at Microsoft. When people look at a company, they assume that the price of the stock is symptomatic of its success. With Microsoft, that is not the case. Since Buffett is a buddy of [Microsoft Chairman] Bill Gates and has him on the Berkshire board, why doesn't Buffett tell Gates to take a page out of the success of IBM and apply it to Microsoft?
Microsoft is now around 25. With better capital allocation, where could it trade?
It could easily trade into the 40s. And then things become much easier, because a higher stock price becomes self-fulfilling.

Are you partial to drug stocks?
Here's an industry where dividend yields often are north of 3% and 4%. Companies have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on research and development in the past 10 years, and have little to show for it. Some companies are realizing that, and returning more of their earnings to shareholders. Merck is yielding more than 4%, and selling at a price/earnings multiple of nine, while spending $8 billion a year on R&D. Other companies have similar valuations, including Teva, which is large in generic drugs, and Johnson & Johnson, which is one of the premier companies in the world, has an AAA bond rating, and yields over 3%. Amgen is doing what Microsoft ought to be doing. It just announced a $6 billion bond issue, and a simultaneous repurchase of $5 billion worth of stock.
It's a Dutch-auction tender. Amgen is going to buy all $5 billion at once.

How about emerging-market stocks?
I'd rather participate in emerging markets by buying U.S. multinationals that get 50% or more of their revenue abroad, including the growing countries of Asia.
What's your view on bonds now?
Treasury securities are probably in the final throes of one of the greatest bubbles I have ever seen. But I want to distinguish Treasuries from spread products, such as corporate bonds or Build America bonds—which are taxable municipals—or long-dated municipals. New Jersey recently sold transportation trust fund bonds with a yield above 5%, or 200 basis points more than the 30-year Treasury. That interests me. But I'm not making a bull case for spread products, because equities are so much more attractive.
What about junk bonds?
High-yield debt is not outrageously cheap. I prefer equities.

When you interviewed me three years ago, I said this and I'll say it again: Retirement isn't in my plans. I'm happy working for Loews. I'll hang around as long as [CEO] Jimmy [Tisch] wants me around.

The biggest and brightest full moon of the year arrived last night as our celestial neighbour passed closer to Earth than usual.
But don't expect any "must have been a full moon" spike in crime or crazy behaviour. That's just folklore.
Saturday's event was a "supermoon", the closest and therefore the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. The moon came within about 357,000km from Earth. That's about 24,600km closer than average.
That proximity makes the moon appear about 14 percent bigger than it would if the moon were at its farthest distance, said Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory. The difference in appearance is so small that "you'd be very hard-pressed to detect that with the unaided eye," he said.
The moon's distance from Earth varies because it follows an elliptical orbit rather than a circular one.
Like any full moon, the supermoon looks bigger when it's on or near the horizon rather than higher in the sky, thanks to an optical illusion, Mr Chester said.
The supermoon will bring unusually high tides because of its closeness and its alignment with the sun and Earth, but the effect will be modest, Mr Chester said.
But no matter how far away a full moon is, it's not going to make people commit crimes, get admitted to a psychiatric hospital or do anything else that popular belief suggests, a psychologist says.
Studies that have tried to document such connections have found "pretty much a big mound of nothing, as far as I can tell," said Scott Lilienfeld of Emory University.
Mr Lilienfeld, an author of "50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology", said the notion of full moons causing bizarre behaviour ranks among the top 10 myths because "it's so widely held and it's held with such conviction".
Mr Lilienfeld said a key reason could be the way people pay attention to things. If something unusual happens to occur during a full moon, people who believe the myth take note and remember, even telling other people because it confirms their ideas. But when another full moon appears and nothing out of the ordinary occurs, "they're not very likely to remember" or point it out to others.
So in the end, he said, all they remember are the coincidences.

Brightstorm Launches Homework Help iPhone & iPad App
Brightstorm has released an iPad and iPhone app to help high school and college students' homework needs. Brightstorm subscribers who download this app can access 3,000 high videos by expert teachers, with mobile-optimized UI.
With the new mobile app, Brightstorm subscribers can access high quality, time-saving videos from their iPad or iPhone. Quality includes both video production and great teaching. Brightstorm films its videos in high-definition, and uses a video player to automatically adjust the quality of the video to the user's bandwidth on their mobile device.
The videos are short and average about 5 minutes each. All 3,000 videos feature expert teachers -- most with Masters degrees and PhDs. For each topic, the teacher has a short video explaining the concept along with a few sample problems.
Quickly finding the appropriate video can be a struggle, especially on mobile devices. The Brightstorm app allows users to create a personalized homescreen where they can bookmark their textbooks and subjects. From this homescreen, they can easily jump into their subject or textbook to quickly find the video that meets their needs. The mobile app is optimized for both the iPad and iPhone so users have the most seamless experience as possible.
"Creating great videos is only a part of it," says Bumsoo Kim, Brightstorm'
All this adds up to a solution designed to be ultra-convenient for the user who needs convenient, just-in-time homework help on the go.
"It's kind of like your back-pocket teacher, who can explain those difficult concepts to you." says Alissa Fong, Brightstorm'

New Police Car & Community Day
This post is a bit of a throwback. The pictures were taken probably about 2005 or 2006-- but that's the great thing about Lego: they don't really age. It was fairly early in the Renaissance of Lego, as Tyler was just beginning his journey and I was rediscovering my love of building.
There was to be a new police car in town but, using our imaginations, we couldn't just "plop" it in town... it had to be shipping in, of course!

A Little Help from the Future
While digging around in some minifigure parts bins,
I found enough pieces to make some old style Lego
Spacemen. I wanted to give them some more gear,
but then I remembered that their original gear looked

A thought occurred to me:

#TBT Old Town Parade
In the interests and long running tradition of "Throw-Back Thursday"-- which dates all the way back to 2011-- today's post features our town as it appeared back in its FIRST version.
Tyler and I were watching news coverage of a disaster somewhere (I forget where but it's possible these are from around the time of Hurricane Katrina) and we decided to act out a relief effort. Of course we only had ONE town, so the mission became one of airlifting supplies and rescue workers from the airport.

When Bud Kohler arrived for his second stint as the golf coach at Phillipsburg High School four years ago, wins and competitive golf experience were scarce.
Four years later, the Stateliners are the Skyland Conference Raritan Division champions, and the program is headed for a bright future.
For rebuilding the P'burg golf program and guiding the team to a division title, Kohler is the 2013 Express-Times Golf Coach of the Year.
Kohler, 52, inherited a program that featured talented freshman Aaron Brown, but few experienced tournament golfers.
A commitment was made in 2010 and 2011 to play freshmen in matches, which paid off with a 7-6 record in 2012, and a 13-3 mark this season.
"We knew we had to increase the numbers," said Kohler, a special education teacher at Phillipsburg for 29 years. "We also knew that we had to get the players playing more competitive golf. We had a few freshmen that we saw potential in and threw them into the fire, hoping it would pay off. We know we need at least two players from each class to keep the program moving forward. This particular year, we felt that we had at least three."
Kohler kept the scoring expectations reasonable for his young players while getting them valuable match experience starting in 2010 with freshmen Brown, Dave McPeek and Andy Servantes; then the next season with Mike McCormick, Travis Cote and Chris Danberry,
"All we wanted them to focus on at the start was to play bogey golf," said Kohler, who graduated from Notre Dame of Green Pond in 1979 and Lock Haven University in 1983. "We worked hard on the course management aspect of their game. We told them that they are going to hit bad shots, don't compound that mishit by trying to make up for it on the next shot. We also tried to get them to understand to only worry about things that they can control. They can't worry about what the other player is doing. They are playing against the course, not the opponent."
This season with the rebuilding project behind them, the Stateliners stepped up with a big year.
Brown, headed to Moravian College, led the way with a 37 stroke average, and won the Hunterdon/Sussex/Warren title. The tall left-hander also matured as a player on the course, which provided additional leadership for the team.
"I think the maturing as a person was the main reason for his maturing as a player," said Kohler, who previously served as the Stateliners golf coach from 1997-2000. "We knew what he was capable of doing on the golf course. I feel that once he made the decision to pursue playing at the college level, he took the game a little more seriously. We set some individual goals this season together. I think this helped him to focus a little bit more.
"This carried over to some of the other players. He picked them up when they had a bad round, and they picked him up when he had a bad round. Moravian is getting a special player. I look for some big things for him."
Other key contributors this season were McCormick (10th place in the Hunterdon/Sussex/Warren and Skyland Conference golf tournaments), and seniors McPeek (13th at county tournament) and Servantes.
"They matured as golfers over the past season," Kohler said. "They knew we were competitive the year prior, but they also knew that there was further to go. They accomplished most of their goals, and there will be new goals for next season. I have to give the credit to our seniors, Dave McPeek, Aaron Brown and Andy Servantes. They led by example."
Kohler also credited the involvement of the Architect's Club staff with giving his team additional support.
"I would like to thank the people at the Architects Golf Club," Kohler said. "From the owners to the greens staff, they gave us whatever we needed. Also a huge thank you to Steve Oakes, head professional, and his staff. They are just as much responsible for our success than anyone. They are always there to help our players with the technical parts of their games. They are our assistant coaches."
With talented players such as juniors McCormick, Cote and Dansbury; along with promising freshmen Dan McCloskey and Nick Braughton returning next season, Phillipsburg figures to be a title contender again.
"There is no reason they can't have the same type of success that we had this year," Kohler said. "I know that the upcoming seniors want to do even better. They want to outdo this year's current seniors. This year's seniors set the bar that will measure the teams to come."

Billy Hart Quartet at the Village Vanguard
Village Vanguard
New York, NY
June 3, 2014
What does it take for an esteemed veteran drummer to get his due as a leader? In the case of the great Billy Hart, it seems that a pair of albums under his name on the ECM imprintAll Our Reasons (ECM, 2012) and One Is The Other (ECM, 2014)helped to do the trick.
Hart, who's been around the block more than a few times, cooked behind organist Jimmy Smith early in his career, added settled and unsettled rhythms to pianist Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi era music, worked with trumpeter Miles Davis, held the drum chair in saxophonist Stan Getz's band, and supported a long list of other luminaries over the course of the past fifty years. As a leader, he's raised eyebrows with compelling and challenging albums, like Enchance (A&M, 1977) and Oshumare (Gramavision, 1985), but he's done so infrequently. In the past, Hart spent the bulk of his time supporting others, but it would seem, with the critical acclaim surrounding his well-established quartet and the two albums they've released on Manfred Eicher's clout-carrying label, that his time has finally come. Such was the feeling surrounding the opening night of this stint at one of New York's most high profile jazz clubs.
The first set of the Billy Hart Quartet's stand at the Village Vanguard was rooted in the idea of restless energy. The music was gloriously grounded and wholly unsettled, pointing to the delightful dichotomy that makes this group so special. The show opened on pianist Ethan Iverson's "South Hampton," where bassist Ben Street's work was surrounded by Hart's scampering musings. The arrival of Iverson and tenor saxophonist Mark Turner brought out a heavy Hart, with the drummer delivering caustic snare drum exclamations and slicing left foot rejoinders. Turner's bluesy solo turn, which proved to be the highlight here, found the quartet in grooving streamlined mode. The follow-upHart's probing "Amethyst," which opened with stick-on-stick suggestions, rim play, splashy exuberance, and drum head anticswas the most rootless number in the set. Iverson's searching lines and Turner's lithe-and-lively tenor work proved to be the draws, as both were completely captivating.
Turner's portrait of pianist-educator Lennie Tristano"Lennie Groove"opened on Iverson's piano but took shape around Street's slick bass groove. Turner's protean saxophone was a delight to behold; serpentine lines, graceful arcs, and powerful suggestions all leaped forth from his horn. Hart and Street had a ball playing off of one another on this one. Hart's "Irah" came next, proving to be one of the more conventional offerings on the program. Gentle brushwork turned to spang-a-lang cymbal play, Turner delivered a brilliant masterclass on the art of behind-the-beat soloing, and Hart's heartbeat bass drum worked against Iverson's piano as the song neared its end.
Hart introduced the lone songbook standard"Some Enchanted Evening"by twisting a line from the song, stating that "you may meet a strange band." He was right. The quartet gave this Rodgers and Hammerstein classic a unique impressionistic interpretation that was simply spellbinding. The set came to an end with Iverson's "Neon," which opened with the drummer's two-sticks-in-one-hand smackdowns. His opening and closing spots on this one both referenced drummer Max Roach's eternal "The Drum Also Waltzes," the rest of the crew entered and exited the piece in resolute fashion, and everybody took the music to a mellower place in the middle.
While opening nights of long engagements tend to find groups finding their footing, that didn't seem to be much of an issue here. Maybe the band sounded ten times better by the end of this run, but nearly every piece during their first set at the Village Vanguard won out in mutable-yet-firm fashion. This performance made it easy to see why this group is finally getting its due.

When Maria Schinstock's father was diagnosed with diabetes, she asked him to move closer to her so she could help him manage his condition and day-to-day activities. He eventually moved closer to Maria, but by that time his diabetes was in an advanced stage. Taking care of her terminally ill father made her more aware of the lack of information and support patients with chronic illnesses received in her community. This awareness also influenced her work as a promotora de salud, or community health worker.
Achieving a nation free of disparities in health and health care extends beyond the walls of federal offices. As we deepen our reach into this current era of public health, we step into an age of a greater understanding of the factors upon which better health is built—the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age. This knowledge underscores our goal in building stronger relationships and alliances that achieve better health outcomes for all communities by bolstering the efforts of our partners.
Every day, more than 75 people in our country die from a prescription drug or heroin overdose. In 2013, nearly 249 million prescriptions were written for opioids—enough for every adult in America to have a bottle of pills. A significant factor in the opioid epidemic is legally written prescriptions from doctors, dentists, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
At the heart of the Caribbean-American community is a sentiment to never forget your roots. A new life filled with opportunity greets many who journey to the mainland United States, but they never forget those whom they love and cherish back in their homeland. This is a sentiment that I, as the daughter of Haitian immigrants, reflect on during this Caribbean American Heritage Month.
As a former track and field sprinter, I still remember and admire my high school track coach whom we affectionately call "Mr. Z." He helped me to experience some of sports' great life lessons — leadership, teamwork, and perseverance — and a love of being fit and healthy. This June, sports fans have been served up a buffet of major events that exemplify all of these lessons: the NBA Finals rematch, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Centennial Copa America, the French Open, the U.S. Open golf championships, and of course, the NCAA Track and Field Championships.
In many families, there comes a time when our parents are no longer be able to care for themselves independently and require assistance to handle their daily activities. In several cultures, including Asian heritage, caring for aging parents is a rite of passage. For many individuals of Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander descent, respecting and caring for one's parents, also referred to as filial piety, is an important family value that extends across many cultures and generations.
The work of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health is rooted in a resounding call sounded more than thirty years ago to address the racial and ethnic health disparities that plague our nation. It was then, in Health, United States 1983 (the annual report card on the nation's health) that then HHS Secretary Margaret M. Heckler took note of significant disparities that existed between non-Hispanic whites and racial and ethnic minorities despite evidence that showed improvements in the health and longevity of all Americans.
During National Reentry Week, April 24-30, 2016, our nation will focus on the future of individuals who are returning to communities after serving time in federal and state prisons and local jails. This focus will extend across many sectors – employment, education, housing, criminal justice, and transportation – all of which impact health. And all Americans, including those who have been formerly incarcerated and have paid their debt to society, should have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
In just a matter of weeks, proud parents, family, and friends in every corner of the nation will gather to watch their high school seniors graduate. Predictable warm weather and speeches that may run a bit too long will be of little note as an estimated3.3 million young women and men earn their diplomas and embark upon their future pursuits.
We invite all communities to learn more about National Minority Health Month, and resources to help promote this observance and events in your community
National Minority Health Month video message from J. Nadine Gracia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health and Director of the Office of Minority Health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
America is often described as the land of opportunity because of the untold possibilities that await those who seek its treasures. Women's History Month in March is an opportune time for all women to awaken and pursue their highest potential. And there are great examples that line the path of our nation's history, from a woman who discovered a new medical breakthrough to one who motivated a classroom of students to press on toward success, to the mother who worked tirelessly to care for her family.
Black History Month is a time to celebrate the many black Americans who have made an impact on our nation. It's a reminder of how far we have come as a country, and a call for the work still ahead.
Here at HHS, we're working on a number of initiatives to advance health equity and bridge the gaps in health and well-being that still are too prevalent for the black community.
Five years have passed since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and I continue to be inspired by the #GetCovered stories from across America. It is amazing to hear about men, women and young adults in this country who have been empowered—many for the first time—to take the reins and become more active partners in their health care and the health care of their families.
Five years ago, the Affordable Care Act created a remarkable opportunity in the movement to reduce health disparities and achieve health equity. In
addition to expanding access to quality, affordable coverage for millions of uninsured Americans, it provided the foundation for the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities
(HHS Disparities Action Plan)
—the most comprehensive federal commitment to addressing health disparities.
Tucked away in central Wyoming you will find the Wind River Indian Reservation—home to the Eastern Shoshone and the Northern Arapaho tribes, and home to a spirit of perseverance and self-determination that permeates America. While we celebrate the rich traditions of our nation's indigenous people during National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month, we cannot forget the fateful history that is imprinted on Indian Country. With this history in mind, we can work to create a brighter and healthier future for American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Discrimination exacerbates health and health care disparities for communities of color. Inequity results in lack of access to quality, affordable care and
can lead to prolonged and unnecessary illness. This is especially true for people with a mental illness or substance use disorder. During July, National
Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we shine a light on the discrimination that minorities often experience when living with a mental health condition,
and learn how we can prevent it.
As a first-generation Caribbean American, I often draw inspiration from my greatest role models — my parents.
The essence of diversity is brilliantly reflected across the Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community.
As the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants from Haiti, I have a deep respect for the rich traditions of the generations that preceded me. My family's elder women – especially my late maternal grandmother and my mother – have been great matriarchs and their lessons are too important to forget.
At a commemorative event two years ago, I heard a historian say that history is not a steady stream of events, but rather a series of punctuation points, like ripples from stones tossed into water.
During my pediatrics training in Pittsburgh, PA, I provided care to the young people—many of them boys and young men of color—at the juvenile detention center.
As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we can also commemorate a significant milestone on our journey toward health equity.
Violence is one of the most urgent public health problems we face in America. Its tragic consequences run deep and have an especially profound impact on
minority youth and young minority men.
Across the country, communities of color are mobilizing for a stronger, healthier future, and advancing health equity for all by tackling one of the most
significant drivers of disparities in health – access to insurance coverage. At the center of that movement are the many organizations and advocates
working tirelessly to connect minority individuals and their families with opportunities to attain affordable health coverage made possible by the
Affordable Care Act.

Hi everyone. My name is Michelle and I just recently had a loss. It was my 2nd PG and didnt expect it at all. I am still im complete shock and still very depressed. My due date was 1/6/2010. I had my 2st ultrasound and the baby measured 7weeks 5days with a strong HB of 157bpm. The tech had found a subchorionic hemorrhage but was assured everything would be fine. The day after the ultrasound I started spotting. I had called the Dr. and they assured me everything would be fine and spotting was normal because of the hemorrhage and put me on pelvic rest and to stay off my feet as much as possible. A week later I was still spotting and called the Dr. again. They again assured me it was normal and I could have my levels drawn for my peace of mine. My first # was 42,367 wich sounded great. When I called to get my 2nd set of #'s the nurse told me they #'s wernt rising and I may be having a threatened miscarriage and I would have an ultrasound at my next appt a week later. I insisted to come in that day to have the ultrasound done. They did not find a hearbeat. I was 9weeks 5days. The baby measured 8weeks, 5days. The baby passed away a week after my first ultrasound. I have a D&C scheduled for this coming Friday. Im so confused and upset. Im guessing the hemorrhage had something to do with the loss of my baby, although the Dr. wont confirm. It hurts even more to know that after you hear the hearbeat you have only about 10% chance of loosing the baby. I really thought everything would be fine considering my first pregnancy I didnt have any complications. DH and I cant wait to start TTC again but im not going to lie, im going to be very scared. I hope I can fine women to talk to who have been there and understand what I am going though.
New here, Intro and story (m/c ment)
I am sorry for your loss. Unfortunatly, there is no reason why these things happen. It is not your fault.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I heard my baby's heartbeat before my loss too, and it hurt horribly. But you can't beat yourself up or blame yourself for this, it was something out of your control. Hopefully the d&c goes as well as possible; have a hot water bottle ready, it helped me alot with the physical pain. If you asked for any answers with the d&c, hopefully you will get them then. The women here are absolutely amazing, the support is wonderful and is what has gotten me through the past month with a shred of sanity. Vent, rant, cry, we're all here to listen. :bigarmhug:
Thanks ladies. Im hoping that being here will help me out. Talking to people who unfortunatly understand my situation just seems better and can have better responses than someone who hasnt experienced what we have. Sometime the "im sorrys" from the BB just dont seem to be enough right now.
BIG hugs hun. I def know where u are coming from and I know what its like to b in a place like this. Such good support is ALL that I found here. Nuthin less. Im sure you will b scared WHEN u get pregs again...its normal. Praying for ya!
I am very sorry for your loss. I understand what you are going through. I heard my baby's heartbeat and was in the OR an hour later. It is normal to be scared to get pregnant again. Give yourself some time. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
:bigarmhug: I'm so sorry for your loss...I hope your recovery goes smoothly from the D&C. Sending many thoughts and prayers your way!
So so sorry for your loss. I really hope everything goes as good as it can for you.
Many many thoughts and prayers!
I'm so sorry for your loss. :bigarmhug:
I'm so sorry for your loss! :bigarmhug:
I hope this board will become a haven for you as it did for me when I suffered my loss. We also saw a strong hb at 6 weeks and then I went in for a pre-travel check and they couldn't find it. The baby measured 9w and had died just a few days before that. I felt just like you did about the chances after seeing a hb.
Hugs Michelle. I also saw the heartbeat at 7wks, and went in at 9wks to no hb. I thought I was in the clear at that point. I hope the d&c goes well. I am glad I chose to do the d&cs both times, it was over quickly and not as bad as I had thought it would be. If you have any questions, please ask away. These ladies are awesome, they have helped me immensely through my losses the last 2yrs.
Also, whether you are actively ttc or not, you should definitely go over to ttcal, it is very active over there (sometimes it is slower here) and the ladies are awesome.
Hugs darling. It is a horrible place to be and sadly i know exactly how you are feeling too. I too have had two losses and the second I had seen the HB.
We are all here for you. Any questions or support you need do come here.
It is two months now since my last loss and i do feel a lot better. It is a cliche but time does help.
Please feel free to pm me with any questions that you have. I had a full term still birth and know the devastation of loss.
I am now thirty weeks into my following pregnancy. I am terrified of another loss, but yet at the same time am thrilled to be expecting another baby in our family. Losing our son was the most agonizing thing that I have ever gone through and this pregnancy has been a complete roller coaster of emotions, the biggest one being guilt.
Again, if you want a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or anything that I may be able to provide, please do not hesitate to PM me.

Gear Talk / Re: Ortlieb Spare Parts« on: June 22, 2016, 04:03:50 pm »
The only exception I can think of is if you're going off road. In that case you might buy some extra upper hooks -- might as well go ahead and mount them, spreading the load over three hooks vs. two per pannier. Of course that'll mean they're even less likely to fail, so you'll eventually start thinking you didn't need the spare parts in the first place.

At just 19, Davis personifies green Hornets
By: Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com, @Jim_Eichenhofer
With accolade after accolade coming his way in 2012, it's sometimes easy to forget that Anthony Davis is still a teenager. In fact, the 19-year-old Chicago native isn't far removed from his AAU days. That's partly why the 6-foot-10 power forward wasn't upset when he recently heard the extremely youthful 2012-13 New Orleans Hornets sarcastically described as "an AAU team."
"But I like that," Davis said of the tongue-in-cheek description. "You know, (AAU teams) run-and-gun, score 100 points every game. We're very young. We've got a couple veterans on the team (as well as) a great coach and great coaching staff. They'll find a way to make it all work."
Davis is the youngest member of the team's current 14-player roster, but a handful of teammates aren't much older. A total of five Hornets were born in the 1990s, which might be some sort of unofficial new NBA record. The group includes rookies Austin Rivers (20) and Darius Miller (22), as well as veterans Xavier Henry (21) and Al-Farouq Aminu (22). Meanwhile, Ryan Anderson, Robin Lopez and Lance Thomas are all 24, with Eric Gordon at 23, meaning nine players are under 25.
After an offseason of widespread changes, the majority of NBA analysts are not projecting the relatively inexperienced Hornets to qualify for the playoffs in the formidable Western Conference. It seems difficult to predict what the ceiling could be for New Orleans this season, given the combination of new faces, potential and youth. In his first meeting with the local media since June, the No. 1 overall pick mentioned a few times that the Hornets are in a "rebuilding" phase. That makes it somewhat problematic to try to set a specific goal in terms of victories.
"I don't know," Davis said of short-term team expectations. "We've just got to work hard, come out each and every game hard, not lackadaisical. It will be a tough year for us, but I think we'll be fine."
Davis and the Hornets took one of the initial steps in bonding as a unit during recent workouts in San Antonio, where players introduced themselves to each other on and off the court.
"Chemistry," Davis said of what the Hornets began accomplishing in the voluntary trip to Texas. "We've got great chemistry. (The workouts with the Spurs and Thunder) definitely showed we need to change some things up and reevaluate some things, but like I said, we're going to be fine. It's a young team. We're going to try to learn from training camp."

It moves them on to the winner's bracket game against No. 2 Arkansas Saturday afternoon.
"We've been waiting for this moment for a while," said OU head coach Patty Gasso. "Team was ready to come out and attack early, and that's exactly what we did. So, everybody followed the game plan to a T."
Pitcher Keilani Ricketts got the scoring started with her three-run single to right.
A pair of errors allowed Ricketts and designated player Brittany Williams to score and make it 5-0.
Slugger Lauren Chamberlain then pounded her 26th homer of the year, a three-run shot into the left center bleachers to run the count to 8-0.
"First at-bat I was just working on seeing the ball in and just reading the spins, the speeds so I can relay that to the rest of my team," Chamberlain said.
OU added another in the second on center fielder Destinee Martinez's sacrifice fly.
The Sooners weren't done scoring yet, though.
They tallied another eight-spot in the third.
First, Ricketts reached on a bases-loaded walk for her fourth RBI of the contest.
Then, catcher Jessica Shults ripped a two-run single back through the box and Martinez slapped a bases-loaded infield single to run the count to 13-0.
Right fielder Callie Parsons followed with a bases-loaded walk of her own, and left fielder Brianna Turang added another run-scoring single, at which point it was 15-0.
Chamberlain smashed a two-run double into the left field corner a batter later to cap off the scoring.
"For the most part, just seeing the ball well, wanting to pass the bat to the rest of my lineup," Chamberlain said of her 3-for-4, five-RBI performance. "And overall it was just a really good team effort."
OU banged out its 17 runs on 13 hits, while pitching was solid as well.
Ricketts surrendered just one hit in her three innings before Michelle Gascoigne came in and through two hitless, shutout innings—she did allow a pair of walks—in relief.
OU's bigger test now comes against 21st-ranked foe Arkansas at 1 p.m. Saturday.
"We respect them tremendously," Gasso said. "We know that they've had success in the SEC, which is a very good conference. And they're very athletic. They swing the bat well. They pitch well, so it's gonna be a big challenge for us and we know that."
Marist drops into an elimination game with No. 3 Fordham at 3:30 p.m.
