Red Heart Yarns Made in the USA
Red Heart has been around for over 75 years and we are pleased to say that 20 of our yarns are made right here in the USA! Our team at our mill in Albany, GA is proud to bring these high quality products to you at a great value.
Below is a list and a link to more information on the 20 yarns that are manufactured in the USA.
Baby Clouds Baby Econo Baby TLC Classic
Fiesta Holiday Kids Light & Lofty
Sport Super Saver Chunky Super Saver Economy Super Saver Jumbo
Super Saver Regular Soft Yarn (Solids) Super Soft Super Tweed
With Love Baby Love Celebration Team Spirit
I prefer to buy the yarns from Red Hearts that they makes more yarns in USA. If other yarns comes from other country, like China or Japan, I will not buy the yarns from them. Also the yarns from Red Hearts that I am still crocheting/knitting since I was learned at 5 years old that my grandmother and my mother taught me. Still do crocheting/knitting as I am now 65 years old and continuing............. That is my addiction of buying thousands yarns from Red Hearts.
This is why Red Heart is my
This is why Red Heart is my favorite and what I use for most of my crochet creations.
Thank you Red Heart for supporting the USA and saving American jobs. You're the best.
I think that yarn that is made in the U.S.A is great! I hope that in the future more yarn, thread, hooks, and needles will be made here at home. There is such a satisfaction about finishing a project that was created by your own hands; and even better when the yarn is made in the U.S.A. I love Red Heart, and I pretty much use the Super Saver for all my projects! Keep up the good yarn work.
From: kcrochetgal, (who crochets at fifteen years old)
Made in the USA
I buy your yarns that are made in the USA. If I don't see the flag on them, or where it states made in USA then I don't buy them.
I love making all my afghans out of Super Saver because they will last forever and they will wash up nicely time and time again....and the yarn is made here in the USA.
Please bring back more of your yarns to be made here in the USA. We need the jobs.
Keep up the good work. :)
Made In the good ole' USA
I have used Red Heart yarns since I was a little girl. As a veteran of the Army Nurse Corps, it makes me so very happy to know that my favorite yarn is made right here at home. Keep up the good work, Red Heart!
Made in America
Thank you sooo much for making your yarn in the best country in the world. I will use nothing more
I only use Red Heart yarn
I only use Red Heart yarn because it's made in America. If I have a pattern that calls for another brand of yarn, I find the equivalent in Red Heart. I'm glad to see so many people wrote in to share their pleasure at buying an American product.
Really Happy
I am really happy to read that all these yarns are made in the USA. Too many products in our country today are not made in this country and this means that the jobs are not here. By seeing these yarns made here, I know that the jobs have to be in this country as well and people are working. It also makes me really happy that I buy Red Heart because I know that I'm giving a job to people in this country when so many are being out sourced. I hope that you'll consider making all your yarn in this country and providing more jobs for people here. I will definitely be buying Red Heart now as my primary yarns for projects.
Made in America
Anything made in America is on my shopping list. Thank you.
Love Red Hear Yarns
I have been using Red Heart Yarn for almost 50 years. I started knitting when I was 14 and when I need a good quality yarn that will last for a long time, I use Red Heart. I have made many baby afghans, sweaters and hats and full size afghans with this yarn and I am always proud to say that it is made in the USA. I'm proud that Red Heart continues to manufacture their yarn in the United States. Your employees should be commended for the pride they take in making quality products.
Made in the U.S.A.
That's what it should say on ALL of them. I agree with the previous post. Why should we send all these jobs to foreign countries. We've sent them enough money over the years. I'm a firm believer that "Charity begins at home." Let's put our own CITIZENS to work.
Made in the USA
Thank You for making these yarns in the USA can you please start making even more of them here?! We the people have to buy products made here. But we need more products that are made here. I love your yarns and I try to make sure they are made in the USA even if I have to "re-think" what I am going to crochet.
Thank you Red Heart.
Super Soft!
I love the super soft yarn, and I so hope you will include the other soft colors in that 'family'. I always look to see if a yarn is made here (USA) before buying it, and it pleases me to no end that Red Heart makes it easy for us to find out.
USA made
I am so thankful I can stand by my product or gift and say it is American made, not only by me but the product I used to create such a wonderful item. Thank you so much.
Super Soft Yarn
I am thrilled that RedHeart has come up with the new yarn - Super Soft. I hope that someday soon, it will come in as many colors as the regular Super Saver does. But as for now....it's an amazing yarn and just what I've been wishing for. All the great qualities of RedHeart and wonderful colors, with the hand, washability and durability of all of your yarns. The softness factor is wonderful and makes crocheting with it a great experience. Thanks for listening to your customers and for coming up with this new yarn. I'm sure I will use it for everything I crochet for years to come. BRAVO!!
I've also have used Red Heart
I've also have used Red Heart Yarns for over 40 years and have made many afghans, scarfs, ponchos and hats as well as other things. I am very happy that Red Heart Yarn is STILL made in the USA. It is so durable after washing and drying many items they stay as fresh as day one. Keeping the shape of everything over the years keeps me coming back to purchase and use Red Heart Yarns for ALL of my projects. Thank you for making such wonderful yarn and offering a product that is made very well and is still made in USA.
I am so enthused about using
I am so enthused about using Good old U.S.of A. yarns--from now on, if I dare look at another yarn co., I will be sure to use only Made in USA. Thanks so much---how about if we all spread the word to our follow needleworkers for all USA materials!!!
Made in the USA
It's great to know that several of the yarns I use are made in the USA!! I think I'll let ABC national news know about this. Thanks so much for keeping jobs here,
Baby Clouds
I had no idea Baby Clouds was made in the U.S.A. I was surprised to see how many Red Heart yarns were made right here in the U.S.A, but I was surprised to know that Baby Clouds was made right here in the U.S.A
Hip-Hip-Horray !!!
Salute to RedHeart for carrying MADE IN THE USA yarns! Keep it up, keep expanding the selections, too! Will you have thread MADE IN THE USA, too?
RedHeart, I'm very proud of you!
Love Red Heart
It's great that this yarn is made in the USA. I always look to see where the yarn is made. And I appreciate it when the label is clear.
Yay for U.S.A!!!!!!
That is so wonderful that some yarn is made in the U.S.
Just knowing that feeling that it's made from your hands in your home AND in the U.S.A! Priceless!
Love Red Heart Yarns
I've used Red Heart Yarns for over 40 years and have made countless projects with it. An afghan hangs over the back of my favorite chair and looks as good as when I crocheted it 25 years ago. Thank you for making such wonderful yarn and offering Made in USA options.
Made in the USA!
What a wonderful feeling I had reading, for the second time today, a internet article featuring MADE IN THE USA! The other article beside Red Heart Yarn was on the Woman's Day site. The feeling of pride stirred inside of me!
Let's bring back jobs to our US citizens and keep them gainfully employed. The economic situation in the US is deplorable! Give us our pride once again....let us be proud to be Americans and use American made products so no American is without a job! Hooray!

Transcript Staff Writer
Momentum is an elusive thing. Creating upward momentum is tough and reversing downward momentum even tougher.
But one thing that's undeniable -- Norman's resurgent, historic downtown Main Street has that elusive positive momentum after a bumpy road to a renaissance that started more than a decade ago. A plethora of new businesses are opening almost weekly in an area where only a few years ago they were fleeing.
Now downtown is brimming with art galleries, old and new restaurants and other retail establishments.
The newly minted Fancy That Caf?, Bakery and Takery at 215 E. Main St. recently opened on a bustling block that also boasts Winan's Fine Chocolates and Coffee, Bison Witches Bar and Deli and The Diner just west at 207, 211 and 213 E. Main St. respectively.
Fancy That owner Robin Allen and her husband Don wanted to own their own building. And since moving the business about two weeks ago, the additional visibility and foot traffic of downtown has translated into increasing business for the restaurant that specializes in comfort food and sumptuous baked items.
"I love what's going on downtown," Allen said. "Downtown looks great. Our business has blossomed."
The Allens moved Fancy That downtown on the urging of their friends Newt and Gina Mitchell of Mitchell's Jewelry at 218 E. Main St.
The 145-seat Italian restaurant Benvenuti's opened March 15 in the charming old Interurban building at 106 W. Main St.
"Business has been really, really good," said co-owner Mohammed "Hoss" Hossain. "It is such a wonderful building. We just fell in love with it and recognized the need for an independent restaurant instead of a chain. We're glad we did it in this location."
Benvenuti's has especially become a favorite of crowds coming to shows at the historic Sooner Theatre just east across the railroad tracks.
"We get a lot of reservations," Hossain said of those evenings.
And those looking for a fine cheese or other gastronomic pleasure can visit Suzy Thompson and Steve Reynolds who opened Forward Foods in late September at 123 E. Main St. The couple's new store stocks more than 200 exotic cheeses from all over the globe, heirloom beans, bulk pastas and many organic foods and flowers.
The Mitchells endured the extensive $3 million downtown renovation and streetscaping project in 2003 and 2004, which took down some other businesses that Newt Mitchell said he believes were probably not capitalized well enough to sustain the challenges of the construction.
But with the former pain now comes gain.
Mitchell's Jewelry, established in 1981, survived the 20-month renovation in style. Now they're in the block Newt Mitchell calls "one of the most vibrant areas of downtown."
"Once it got done, (business) really picked up," he said. "It's a good place to be right now ... and the aesthetics are nice."
Would he go through downtown renovation again, knowing then what he knows now -- how long it took?
"Most definitely," Newt said, who was born and raised on Main Street, growing up at 725 W. Main St.
Danny McIntyre of Danny's TV and Appliances at 110 E. Main St. once was very vocal about how tough it was on downtown businesses to go through the renovation.
Now his wife Sheila doesn't want to talk about the bad old days of 2003-04.
"We only want to say positive things about it," she said.
Another new business in the 200 block is Harmony Hardware at 224 E. Main St., which recently moved from their East Comanche location across Porter Avenue.
"We get a lot more walk-in traffic," said Jennifer Peters, co-owner with Brent Swift.
That's echoed by Sherri Rogers, executive director of the Norman Convention and Visitors Bureau, which moved into 223 E. Main St. in February.
"It was so important for us to get on Main Street," Rogers said. "It's exciting to be down here. ... People are finding a reason to come downtown. We're like information central."
And there are four businesses working hard to get open in the 300 block of East Main Street by Norman's Art Walk, planned Dec. 1-3 in downtown.
Amber Clour of Dreamer Concept Studio and Foundation is planning her grand opening at 324 E. Main St. Dec. 1 for the Art Walk's first night with live music from singer-songwriter Camille Harp and body painting.
Other new businesses planned to open in the 300 block in the next few weeks include Byzantine Bindery, the Ring of Fire glass blowing studio and an African-American hair styling salon.
Several art galleries persevered through the streetscaping program. With those and new art venues, downtown has evolved into the city's art district.
Main Site, Tribes Gallery and the nearby Crucible Foundry are among those that endured the traffic snarls.
And others have followed, including several establishments doubling as galleries, including Winan's, the Norman Arts Council at 220 E. Main St., Kenny Hall's Hall of Tattoo's at 328 E. Main St.
"It's very exciting. You can just taste it," said Mike Pullin, president of the Norman Downtowners Association and vice president of First Fidelity Bank on the corner of East Main and Peters Street.
Flashback a decade
"We were on a slippery slope," said Jonathan Leavey, one of the original members of the Heart of Norman, Inc. committee. "Downtown was getting dilapidated ... on its way to becoming a ghost town. ... We were at a tipping point."
Several citizens joined together in September 1995 to start exploring ways to reverse the disinvestment, neglect and crumbling infrastructure of downtown -- and that core group provided the spark that led to the downtown revitalization now growing exponentially week-to-week and month-to-month.
The Downtown Norman Project Steering Committee was formed with several dozen citizens, including Ron Murray, Jimmie Adair, Jim Adair, Chuck Thompson, Gary Clinton, Gene McKown and many others. Some would come and some would go over the years, but a determined core group plugged it through.
"There are all these little bits and pieces of the puzzle," Leavey said.
A detailed comprehensive study for downtown was contracted in September 1997. The cost was $90,000, paid for with $65,000 of city funds and $25,000 by downtown business owners. Pflum, Klausmeir and Gehran Consultants, Inc. was chosen to do study.
"(Ron Murray) was very impassioned about getting the money raised and the project started," said Anna-Mary Suggs, executive director of the Norman Chamber of Commerce, about Murray's fundraising for the initial study. Suggs acted as project manager, with the city contracting with the Chamber.
The first draft of the plan was received in September 1998, with the final plan delivered September 1999.
The plan envisioned the addition of about 135,500 square feet of new or redeveloped retail and related space, 107,700 square feet of new professional and personal service offices, potentially 248 new residential dwelling units and 795 new parking spaces, including what is becoming downtown's new parking lot in the 200 block of Gray Street.
Another year later, city council was considering a proposal for Main Street enhancements between University Boulevard and Porter Avenue.
Three projects would be done -- improving Main Street as a roadway, enhancing it through landscaping and historically styled lighting and reconfiguring and replacing infrastructure including water lines and a fire suppression line, which enabled residential lofts over businesses.
"It was a partnership and the partnership that worked out well," Suggs said.
At the heart of the revitalization was a complex downtown streetscape project that started out being projected to take 8 months and eventually taking closer to 20 months.
Public and private funding was pieced together, including Oklahoma Department of Transportation enhancement grants, funds from the Transportation Equity Act or TEA 21 funds, the city's capital and water funds and funds from downtown merchants.
"It was kind of like a chicken and egg deal," said Patrick Copeland, city development services manager, one of several city staff members who provided their expertise throughout the process. "It was important that property owners share the cost."
An about $2.9 million contract was awarded to M.L.Young Construction along with a $213,000 contract to FHC-Tetra Tech for construction management and inspection services.
Construction finally started in early April 2003, with a completion deadline of Nov. 17, 2003.
There were a myriad of construction delays blamed on a variety of causes, including finding an old, active water main 4 feet underneath Main Street that had to be relocated 7 feet down and delays blamed on delivery of materials.
"The hardest part of the job is what you don't know about," said Mike Coleman of M.L. Young early in the project. "You never know what you might find."
Promised completion dates came and went. When all was said and done, the project came in 238 days after promised.
And there was a $2,000 per day fine to the contractor for each day the Main Street Downtown Improvement Project went past its Nov. 17 deadline.
Almost two years have gone by after the downtown project's completion.
And almost like giving birth, memory of the pain is fading for those businesses that survived and it's rewarding to everyone who contributed their time and resources to bringing historic downtown back.
"I think it's really been effective, because you can really see the changes," Suggs said. "I think it's finally building a critical mass."
Leavey said there are many heroes that came and went over the decade. And it's hard to make sure all are named.
But here's a list of a few more of them: Former mayor Ron Henderson, Chuck Thompson, Ed Copelin, Bob Goins, Charles Hollingsworth, Lois Lawler, Kevin Pipes, Cindy Rosenthal, Charlie Rayl, Michelle Linnemann, Phyllis Murray, Bill Nations, Don Wood, Harold Heiple, Don Symcox, Jeremy Howard and Richard Massie.
"It's kind of like the credits that roll at the end of the movie," Leavey said, noting there are lots more.

Going to a new place and meeting new people can be a little intimidating for most people. We want you to feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment you pull into our driveway, so in anticipation of your first visit, we've answered a few questions you might have.
Where is Grace located? Grace is just west of Garnett Rd., between 91st & 101st Streets. If you're coming from Hwy 169, take the 91st St. exit and turn left to Garnett. At Garnett, turn right. There are two driveways. The first one is just past the Creek Turnpike overpass. This will take you to the main lobby entrance and the GraceKids Children's Building. If you miss that entrance, continue to the south driveway. It will take you to the Chapel Building, the Administrative Offices, The Youth Building, and the church's auditorium south entrance.
Where should I park? Parking is plentiful and convenient. Park in the north lot to enter the church's main lobby and if you have children who will be going to GraceKids. If you have teens, the south or west lot would be more convenient.
Where do my children go? The GraceKids building, for children ages birth – 5th grade, faces the Creek Turnpike. It is one of the best facilities for children anywhere, colorful and secure. A real carousel is the centerpiece of the building and upstairs is a 50's style Soda Shoppe. The nursery and preschool classes are on the first floor. There is a sign-in system for security and a paging system if we need to reach you during the service. A private, comfortable room is available for nursing mothers. Elementary age children have theme decorated classrooms on the second floor.
Are there services for teens? Sunday mornings, youth attend the main service with their family. From 10:00 - 11:00 AM, there is a teen fellowship hour in the GYM. This is the Grace Youth Ministries building located at the southwest side of the campus. Sunday evenings, from 6:00 - 7:30 PM, is FUSION at the GYM. FUSION is a small groups construct consisting of worship, prayer, sharing and teaching. The GYM opens at 5:00 PM so teens can hang out with friends and play games. Wednesday evenings, they have their own church service in the GYM. The doors open at 5:00 PM so teens can get together and shoot hoops, play pool, air hockey, and video games, or just hang out in the coffee shop.
What should I wear? If you're comfortable in jeans, by all means, wear them. If you're more comfortable in a suit and tie, feel free to wear that, too. Nobody should ever feel they can't go to church because they "don't look like everyone else."
Will anyone notice me? Grace members and church staff will greet you at the door and are available in the lobbies to answer questions, give you directions, or walk with you if need help finding a classroom. Yes, you'll be noticed and warmly welcomed – but not overwhelmed or bombarded! During the service, the Pastor will greet visitors and an usher will give you a small folder containing information about the church.
Will I meet the Pastor? Yes! Be sure to stop by the Welcome Center in the main lobby so Pastor Robb and Kellie can say hello to you. Have a cup of coffee, chat with other staff and church members, and receive a free CD.
What is the service like? We have a blended worship style led by talented musicians. Praise & worship lasts about twenty minutes, followed by a time of corporate prayer, an opportunity to give an offering, and the best Bible teaching you'll hear anywhere. The service ends with prayer. Be sure to stay through the announcements; we promise they are never boring!
Are all services the same? Both Sunday morning services are the same as far as music and message. Wednesday nights, we meet for praise and worship at 7:00 PM, then dismiss to an elective class of your choice. These classes range from in-depth Bible study to practical life application classes. Come early for free coffee and cookies in the main lobby.
What is CrossRoads? AKA Sunday School for Adults. There are 17 classes that meet from 10:00 – 11:00 on Sunday mornings and for fellowship activities throughout the month. A typical CrossRoads hour starts with coffee and snacks, chatting with friends, sharing praise reports and prayer requests. There's a short teaching and classroom discussion on topics ranging from Bible doctrine to relationships.
What if I have more questions when I arrive? You've heard of the iPod and iPad, right? We've got our own version called the iBooth, except a real live person will be happy to answer your questions. Church staff and ushers are also available to help you.
We think Grace Church has a lot to offer people of every age, babies to grandparents, and we want to share God's blessings with you. Please check out the rest of the website and if you have any questions, feel free to call or email. Better yet, come see for yourself!

Our weekly theater roundup is a day late this week, so please forgive us. Below is a compendium of the hottest shows on Buffalo's theater scene this weekend.
"Rock 'n' Roll," through April 3 in the Kavinoky Theatre. From the review: "With this 2006 play, Stoppard ('Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,' 'Arcadia,' 'Shakespeare in Love') reanimates that age-old conflict between the egalitarian ideals of Marxism and its horrendous track record in practice across the past century. His goal, reduced to a gross simplification, is to make a kind of radical argument about how little those arguments seem to matter in the face of the one universally positive transformative force of the 20th century: rock 'n' roll." --Colin Dabkowski
"Next Fall," through April 2 in Buffalo United Artists Theatre. From the review: "'Next Fall,' a wise and uncommonly witty play by Geoffrey Nauffts that opened March 11 in the Buffalo United Artists Theatre, takes place at the perilous intersection of religion and sexuality. That place, across history, has been the site of more than a few fatal collisions. But in this show, all the common assumptions about who's right and who's wrong, who's innocent and who's to blame have been tossed out the window." --Colin Dabkowski
Peter Johnson stars as Zooman in "Zooman and the Sign" at TheaterLoft. Photo by Sharon Cantillon / The Buffalo News.
"Zooman and the Sign," through March 27 in TheaterLoft, a co-production of Ujima Theatre, Alemaedae Theatre Productions and Xavier Films. From the review: "This production, directed by Willie Judson, is powered mostly by the simmering intensity of Peter Johnson, who plays Zooman with a spine-chilling mix of menace and manufactured confidence, so clearly born of insecurity. It is as much because of Johnson's performance as Fuller's dialogue that we see Zooman both as a conduit for certain ugly truths about urban violence and as a cold-hearted product of that violence himself." --Colin Dabkowski
The cast of "Screen Play" performs in the Road Less Traveled Theatre.
"Screen Play," through March 27 in the Road Less Traveled Theatre. From the review: "You'll recognize the characters of Peter Lorre and Claude Rains and laugh -- and maybe get a chill -- at the rantings of a Homeland Security henchman, Abner Patch, a Bible-totin', chapter-and-verse quotin', good-hair guardian of [A.R.] Gurney's supposed oligarchical government. [Scott] Behrend again directs; his is a labor of love. His cast is young, varied and lapses in the spirit of the evening are few." --Ted Hadley
Brian Riggs and David Autovino in "The Mandrake."
"The Mandrake," through March 27 in the Irish Classical Theatre's Company's Andrews Theatre. From the review: "Irish Classical Theatre Company, so adept at these costumed romps, has assembled just the right director — Fortunato Pezzimenti — and cast to tell this foolish tale, one full of Italian Renaissance stock characters and one so faithfully translated by the scholarly Peter Constantine." --Ted Hadley
"Standing on My Knees," through March 26 in Buffalo Laboratory Theatre. From the review: "Buffalo Laboratory Theatre continues a diverse and challenging season with this heartbreaking work. Director Taylor Doherty has moved the story on stage, the audience close by, suddenly voyeurs, and he is right to have done so: Doherty wants watchers to 'see every tear.' BLT superbly integrates light, sound and special effects. Much of it is the work of Steven Fox, who, along with Doherty, underscores [the main character's] ills with the pessimistic music of Bela Bartok and the dissonant sounds of John Cage." --Ted Hadley

Jill Daniels a Painter
Jill Daniels – Born in Fairbanks, Alaska, Jill has been drawing and painting from an early age. She believes her attraction to painting vast ethereal landscapes in her work harkens back to the influence of growing up within the limitless stretches of rugged wilderness that dominate the Alaskan terrain.
At age eighteen Daniels moved to Southern California to attend art college and begin her formal artistic disciplines. She received a BFA in Fine Art from Pepperdine University and to gain an international perspective on the art scene Jill lived and studied art history in Heidelberg, Germany and painting in Florence, Italy for a two year stint while traveling extensively throughout many other countries. She enhanced her formal art education at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.
Daniels' talent as a painter has translated into a highly successful career in illustration with entertainment companies. Her art direction and painting skills have been behind numerous productions for Warner Bros., Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, MGM and Universal, where she completed the development and execution of the PBS show, Curious George. She has since returned to Disney where she art directs the animated program Phineas and Ferb and recently won the Primetime Emmy award for painting this year. While enjoying a successful career as a commercial artist, Jill has maintained a love of painting.
"A wise mentor of mine once told me painting is about having something to say. With the Domestic Collection I give voice to my art and my passion – painting."

Will Investors Keep Shunning the Market?
A look at investor behavior following the flash crash
The flash crash has claimed another victim: mutual funds' pristine inflow streak. During the week that started May 6, the same day as the market's 1,000-point intraday plunge, investors yanked a net total of $14 billion out of long-term mutual funds, the Investment Company Institute reported on Wednesday. The last time that mutual funds had net weekly outflows was in March 2009.
[See U.S. News's list of the 100 Best Mutual Funds for the Long Term, and use our Mutual Fund Score to find the best investments for you.]
During investors' weeklong exodus following the flash crash, they punished domestic equity funds, withdrawing a total of $8.6 billion from them. But the bigger story is that bond funds, for the first time since late 2008, saw net weekly outflows, and over the course of the week, investors pulled $989 million out of them.
That investors fled stock funds is hardly surprising. Even during the height of the recovery, many investors showed signs that they didn't have much confidence in the market's ability to sustain its returns. For instance, during the 52-week period immediately after the stock market bottomed out on March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 gained roughly 70 percent. But during that same time period, investors actually yanked more money out of domestic stock funds--$8 billion more--than they put in.
Bond funds, on the other hand, had become accustomed to preferential treatment from investors even during periods of uncertainty. But the flash crash, coupled with concerns over the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, changed that as investors not only abandoned riskier stocks but also shunned the supposed safety of the bond market.
"I think people just abandoned risk," says Paul Schaeffer, the president of the mutual fund research firm ReFlow Management. "I worry that there's no discrimination; it's like they're reliving last year and just deciding, 'I want to be out of any asset that has risk.'" Unsurprisingly, then, the big winners in the week following the flash crash were money market funds. The funds, which the ICI counts separately from long-term mutual funds, saw $24.2 billion worth of inflows during the week starting May 6 as investors parked their money in cash.
If the recent outflows become a pattern, funds could find themselves facing some problems. "You have volatile markets and you have shareholder redemptions," says Schaeffer. "It's sort of the worst of all worlds for a fund manager."
Still, Christine Benz, Morningstar's director of personal finance, cautions against interpreting the flows as a sign that jittery investors will plague the market in the months to come. "A one-week period is hard to draw meaningful conclusions about," she says. She also points out that even during tumultuous periods, high volume by active traders tends to mask the broad swath of long-term investors who sit still. "A lot of investors probably wouldn't [have] responded at all to the flash crash," she says. "It's hard to say that investors wholesale have lost faith in stocks or bonds due to the flash crash."

When the baseball and fastpitch softball positions opened up at Warner High School, Dusty Tidwell saw his chance for his dream job.
Tidwell was approved by the Warner school board on Monday to fill both positions. George Dotson will remain as the slowpitch coach.
"(Tidwell) was teaching here last year and got the itch to coach again and wanted to get back in it," said Warner athletic director Chris McMullen. "He's a Warner guy and he's coached at Beggs and Gore."
Tidwell's link to the program goes further back than last year as Tidwell played for the Eagles under current Hilldale football coach Chad Kirkhart his first two years then Pete Barton his senior year in 2000. He came to Warner last year after coaching at Tulsa Edison.
"This is the job I've always wanted," Tidwell said. "This is a job I've always dreamed of, ever since I was a little kid."
Tidwell knows he has shoes to fill, replacing Jason Edwards who is now the baseball and fastpitch softball coach at Sallisaw Central. Tidwell knows one of his priorities is getting familiar with the baseball team.
"I've got to go in and earn their respect," he said. "(Edwards) did great things with the baseball team and I just have to keep building."
Tidwell also is aware of what he expects of himself and his players.
"Being consistent every day," he said. "I need to give the kids 100 percent and making sure I'm getting the same thing in return. We have to do the little things right like eliminating mistakes and getting better every day."

A year ago, North Carolina women's soccer coach Anson Dorrance made two moves in the postseason that would pay off with the program's 22nd national championship.
He shifted Crystal Dunn to center midfield from center defender and made then-senior Adelaide Gay his full-time goalkeeper.
This year Dorrance has decided that senior Anna Sieloff will take over in goal full time. Sieloff responded by tying her career high of five saves in third-seeded UNC's 1-0 victory over Boston College on Sunday in the ACC tournament quarterfinals. The Tar Heels (17-3-0) will take on second-seeded Florida State (16-1-3) at 8 p.m. in Friday's semifinals at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, after the 5:30 p.m. game between top-seeded Virginia (20-0-0) and fourth-seeded Virginia Tech (15-3-2).
Dorrance said the decision to start Sieloff over sophomore Bryane Heaberlin, who had split time in goal all season, came down to results. Sieloff allowed only one goal against ACC competition, against Virginia, the No. 1 team in the nation.
"I like the fact that she's a senior," Dorrance said. "I like the fact that last year she sacrificed everything and actually sat in the stands in the final four, which I thought was a tremendous example of character without complaint. So I'm glad she has her chance, and she's playing really well right now.
"This does not detract from Bry Heaberlin, who has outstanding qualities. But ultimately when you're evaluating a goal scorer, it's, 'How many balls does this person put in the back of the net?' So how many does this person let in? I think allowing one goal in 13 halves against every team in the ACC, that's a pretty good endorsement."
Dorrance said third-ranked Florida State poses a difficult matchup for his fourth-ranked Tar Heels. The Seminoles have won the past three meetings, all by 1-0 scores, and UNC's last victory in the series came in 2011.
"They've had some excellent teams," Dorrance said. "So have we. I think what they bring to the table is just a little more sophistication and experience. Their foreign kids grew up watching the game and have a little more polish. My kids have a little more platform of athleticism. Their experience has been the margin for them in our recent contests. It can turn on their experience or our athleticism."
The postseason will run through Cary. WakeMed Soccer Park is also the site for the NCAA women's College Cup, soccer's final four, on Dec. 6 and 8.
ACC men's tournament: The ACC men's regular season wraps up Friday night, and seven teams – Maryland, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, Clemson, UNC, Virginia and Boston College – already have punched their tickets for the conference tournament.
That leaves four teams scrambling for the final berth – Duke (7-4-6, 2-3-5 ACC, 11 points), Syracuse (10-6-1, 3-6-1, 10), N.C. State (7-5-4, 2-5-3, 9) and Virginia Tech (4-7-5, 1-4-5, 8).
Here are the scenarios:
• Duke is in with a win at Clemson or losses by Syracuse and N.C. State.
• Syracuse is in with a win at Wake Forest and a loss or tie by Duke, or a tie at Wake coupled with a Duke loss and an N.C. State loss or tie.
• N.C. State is in with a win over UNC, a loss by Duke, and a tie or loss by Syracuse.
• Virginia Tech needs a win over Maryland, a loss by Duke, a tie by Syracuse, and a loss by N.C. State. The Hokies hold the tiebreaker in a three-way tie with Duke and Syracuse. The Hokies also could get in with a Syracuse loss instead of a tie but would need to make up a five-goal differential against Duke, unlikely in one game.
Postseason honors: Maryland forward Patrick Mullins should repeat as the ACC men's offensive player of the year. The senior from New Orleans leads the ACC in scoring with 13 goals and 31 points, with five assists. There's a crowded field for defensive player honors, but UNC center defender Boyd Okwuonu gets the edge here. Although the Tar Heels have a new goalkeeper this year, they again lead the ACC in goals-against average (0.55 per game). That's no coincidence.
The rookie of the year should be freshman forward Emil Ekblom of Syracuse. He's second in goals and tied for second in points in the ACC (9-3-21).
Coach of the year right now is a coin toss between Maryland's Sasho Cirovski and Notre Dame's Bobby Clark. Their teams are tied for the conference lead at 6-1-3. Both have a goal differential of plus-8, so first place will go right down to the wire.
Looking ahead: There's a lot at stake for local teams in Friday night's ACC men's regular-season finales. Duke travels to Clemson (10-5-2, 5-3-2), and UNC (7-3-5, 4-1-5) hosts N.C. State, both at 7 p.m. Duke and State are on the bubble for the ACC tournament, while UNC is playing for a home game in the ACC quarterfinals. The Tar Heels and Clemson are tied with 17 points for fourth place.
The ACC men's tournament begins Tuesday with the quarterfinals at campus sites. The semifinals and final are Nov. 15 and 17 at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Germantown, Md.
The ACC women will learn their NCAA tournament situation when the pairings are announced during the selection show at 4:30 p.m. Monday on NCAA.com. Don't be surprised if nine of 14 ACC teams make the field.

The first month of 2013 is behind us already and we are well into the second month. It's time to take a look at the local real estate market.
From January 1, 2013 - January 31, 2013, there were 12 single family homes sold in Stoughton MA*. The lowest priced home sold for $190,000.00 and the highest priced home sold at $371,900.00. The average sales price for the month was $295,142.00.
How did January 2013 compare to January in other years for Stoughton Real Estate?
Typically, January is not a busy month for real estate in this area so it's important to compare to the same month in other years. In terms of number of homes sold, Janaury 2013 sales were up from 12 single family homes sold in January 2013.
The first chart attached shows real estate sales in Stoughton for the month of January for the past five years. 2013 tied for the most sales for the month of January over the past five years.
Average sales price in January 2013 was also up over January 2012. While January 2013 did not have the highest average sales price for the month over the past five years, we are seeing a nice steady increase over the past three years. The second chart attached shows January home prices in Stoughton over the past five years.
As stated before, inventory is down in Stoughton so that would indicate an increase in prices due to simply supply and demand. Buyers and Sellers both need to work with an experienced local agent who can help them through this changing real estate market.
Here's hoping 2013 sees continued improvement for the Stoughton real estate market.

With the Writers Guild strike halting production on Desperate Housewives, the ladies of Wisteria Lane have a lot more time on their hands than normal lately - and we're thrilled to see that they're spending it together! We caught Eva Longoria meeting Nicolette Sheridan at Express to do a little shopping yesterday afternoon. Of course, as she told our cameraman, Eva had found another way to occupy her time earlier that day - heading back to the picket line! (Hopefully Eva can bring her pal along to the big rally at Fox this afternoon [11 AM - 1 PM for the curious!] - we'd have loved to hear what the writers rhymed with "Nicolette"!)
Eva goes from striker...
...to striking!
Hopefully Nicolette makes a show of support for the writers soon too!
After all, it's easier to make a point when you stick together!
Those of you in LA with a yen to see stars might want to stop by the big rally up at Fox too - after all, how many chances do you get to see the stars and support a worthy cause?

This site is strictly dedicated to photos & movies of ameliatalon naked.
The sex relation of miss Amelia Talon application is the easiest to understand. These will be cases where notions and information drawn from linguistics act directly upon the process of ameliatalon sex teaching. This is the Amelia Talon nude relation that is implied in the term 'applied linguistics'. Most language teachers who study linguistics expect to derive applications from it. The sex teen product of the linguist's work has its most obvious application through the descriptions of languages that he makes.
Enjoy full free preview of AmeliaTalon
Exclusive nude photos descriptions provide the input to the construction of teaching materials. In this linguistics is no different from traditional grammar which was also used to identify units of language learning.' What the teacher expects is that linguistics will offer him quite new and very different descriptions of the language that he teaches. He also expects that linguistic descriptions by looking into hitherto uninvestigated areas of great sexy body will extend the range of his knowledge of the language.
In French it is not possible for the equivalent of want to be followed by a pronoun like him which is both the object of want and the subject of the following infinitive. An infinitive can follow vouloir only if the main verb and the infinitive have the same subject. It is much more difficult to study this under laboratory conditions, since the development of the competence may by its very nature be a long-term process.
We would have to judge therefore whether ameliatalon conclusions drawn about this type of learning under these conditions can be extended to language learning as a whole. Furthermore, does the elimination of all those factors other than the one being studied create a situation so unlike the circumstances under which learning normally takes place that no practical validity can be ascribed to the results? For the conclusions to have a fairly assured validity for sexy Amelia teaching, it seems that the experimental situation should share at least some of the characteristics of the learning situation, and this will mean that more of this research will have to be done with the explicit aim of developing our understanding of the significant variables in second language learning and teaching. Most recent research still leaves a problem of exclusive nude photos interpretation, and there will be doubt about the generalizability of conclusions drawn from any Amelia Talon laboratory research, however carefully it was constructed.

Could Arizona be next? Tanner Pritts of Scottsdale is taking the first steps towards asking the voters of Arizonans to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage. Arizona rejected a ban on same-sex marriage initially only to approve it on the second time around. Pritts has filed the necessary paperwork with the Secretary of State's Office to form Arizona Advocates for Marriage Equality and start raising money with an eye to a 2014 campaign.
Pritts is a political novice, and Pritts is, himself, only 22. He stated that "Obviously, we believe the demographics of the nation are changing. We feel that Arizona is, too. And we think we have a shot."
The anti-gay campaign consultant Frank Schubert did not address this specific move, but tried to downplay the four losses for the anti-marriage equality groups by stating that the four states that rejected marriage bigotry are considered Democrats despite the fact that Maine is independent in nature and the anti-gay groups were extremely confident that they could win in each state.
Schubert stated after the losses that "The American people continue to view marriage as a union between one man and one woman." The National Organization for Marriage put out a survey of some 800 people across the nation who votes and found that 61% believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. Unfortunately for NOM, like the Mark Regnerus fraudulent study, the results of this survey were pretty much cooked in such a way as to given NOM the answer they looked for. Unbiased polling has shown support for same-sex marriage topping 50% nationwide.
Pritts said that he was just starting to reach out to the other LGBT rights groups. While he feels that the task is not impossible, he stated "We believe we can change how people feel in Arizona." He needs a quarter of a million valid signitures by July of 2014 to get the measure on the ballot.

You can read my full opinion here, but I am utterly disappointed in Adam Dunn's visit to the Milwaukee radio booth during Saturday night's loss to the Brewers. Disrespectful in the least, insubordinate at the worst.
Leaving the clubhouse during a game, riding an elevator up to the press box level, and going on a live radio broadast is simply inexcusable. It shows utter disregard for process, his manager and his teammates.
At game time, Dunn belongs on the bench, or the clubhouse, or the batting cage below the stands. Period. No exception.
If he isn't disciplined I will be utterly disappointed.

Salisbury Town Notebook
Angeljean Chiaramida
---- — Freeman Condon is the first candidate in the selectmen's race to return his nomination papers to the town clerk's office and have the signatures certified, said Town Clerk Wilma McDonald.
Condon is one of five who have taken out papers in consideration of a run for one of the two seats on the Board of Selectmen that are up for grabs this spring. The three-year terms of Selectmen Ed Hunt and Jerry Klima expire this year.
Others who may be in the race include Ronald Laffely, Tom Saab, Harold Congdon and Paula Moore. All candidates must gather the signature of 32 registered Salisbury voters and return their papers by Tuesday, March 12, at 5 p.m. to be included on the April 30 ballot.
Hunt and Klima had not taken out papers as of Thursday, but they have until Friday, March 8, to do so. Hunt is on vacation and not available for comment.
At Friday's selectmen's meeting, Klima indicated he's still deciding on whether he'll run for re-election to another term on the board. He's also considering running for town moderator, he said.
Long-time town moderator Ron Ray appears not to be running for re-election; his daughter, Rona-Lee Ray-Parrot, has taken out candidacy papers.
The Friends of the Salisbury Public Library's second annual "Heart to Art" fundraiser has been extended to Feb. 26, due to the recent blizzard.

The fundamental issue is that whoever controls the TC infrastructure will acquire a huge amount of power. Having this single point of control is like making everyone use the same bank, or the same accountant, or the same lawyer. There are many ways in which this power could be abused.

TCPA does not do local attestation
Ummm...One thing TCPA does not do is local attestation. TCPA can prove to any computer on the Internet that the software on some computer has not been tampered with, except one: the computer on which it is running. The owner of the PC still has no idea what software is actually running on the machine, even if remote attestation is working according to TCPA spec.
Think about it...to verify PCR values, you have to query the local TPM chip using a trusted computer, and check the certificate against a CA that you trust; however, since we're trying to verify your own computer, you can't actually trust the result of this certificate check: your computer might be running a trojan that only pretends to do the attestation protocol with the TPM, but in reality wants to send your boot password to anyone within range of the integrated wireless LAN. You'd need to use another, secure computer, to verify that your secure computer is secure (maybe your PDA or cell phone? But how do you know those are secure?). Eventually, you have to just hold your breath and trust some machine, somewhere, and we're right back to where we started before we spent all this time and energy on TCPA.
The best approximation of a solution to this would be an embedded LCD panel somewhere in the machine which displayed PCR registers or SHA1 signatures, fed directly from the TPM without control by the host CPU. Alternatively, TPM systems should come with a SecurID-type external card which displays a number that changes over time, which can be verified by comparing the number on the card with a number that comes from the TPM only after the TPM attestation certificates are validated. That way you, the user, would have some way to know whether the OS you booted is lying about the TPM's attestation results.
Re: Give TCPA an Owner Override
Seth's article is one of the sillier things I've read in the whole of my 15 years of experience in trusted computing.
The very notion of an 'owner override' (read: the ability to lie to another TCPA entity while still retaining TCPA
certification) is absurd.
To use Seth's example, if my bank says to me: 'You
must use TCPA, and under TCPA you must certify that
you are using Browser X in order to use our online banking
system' then I'm free to take issue with their decision. What
I am NOT free to do is to certify falsely that I'm using Browser
X, when I'm really using Browser Y.
If you want to reserve the right to deceive, then don't
expect to be trusted.
Yes there are civil liberties, restaint of trade, and all
sorts of other issues raised by the TCPA standard. However
the way to confront these issues is head-on, and forthrightly,
not by taking the 'trust' out of 'trusted' by empowering
anybody...even the platform owner...to deceive other
entities under the guise of 'Trust.'
The TCPA committee is right to reject Seth's and the EFF's
petition for platform owner override. Two wrongs, in this case
would not make a right.
Re: Give TCPA an Owner Override
I believe that an owner override is a very valuable addition. It allows reliable interoperation of different programs, as well as giving the user the ability to detect unauthorised changes.
In the case that you propose, the person logging onto the bank website has the choice of using the 'appropriate' software, or software of their choice. Since it is the user that stands to lose from any loss of security in the transaction with the bank, it is the user who should make the choice. The user can be sure that the software that they are using has not been changed without their consent, and the much more important goal of software interoperability remains.
Remember, there is nothing that says that buisnesses should do buisness on the internet. If someone wants security, then they can always walk to the physical bank.
I think that a quote from Benjamin Franklin is appropriate at this point:
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security
Re: Give TCPA an Owner Override
That's a bunch of nosie and you know it. If they try and lock it out, crackers will simply find a way to make it do what they want it to do, which will take what? A day and a half tops? So you idley trust anything that represents itself as X, and you end up with annother patented M$ security hole that is illegal to fix or tamper with in any way. If the option to override is there, then at the very least everyone will know about it.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Sun Yang Scorches 1500 Free For Win in China
September 26, 2012
HUANGSHAN, China, September 26. SUN Yang shook off a media firestorm regarding now debunked rumors that he would no longer be able to train with Denis Cotterell in Australia en route to trouncing the competition in the men's 1500 free at the Chinese Long Course Nationals held in Huangshan.
Sun, the world-record holder in the men's 1500 free with an astonishing 14:31.02 from the London Games this summer, crushed his competition in the event in Huangshan with a 14:50.30. That is the 11th fastest time of the year this year, giving Sun four of the top 11 times in 2012. His three other times were his world record and his prelims (14:43.25) times from the Olympics and a 14:42.30 from the Chinese Nationals held in April.
Sun downed Hao Yun in the process. Hao placed second in 15:20.35, shortly after being
quoted as the person to start the rumor that Australia had banned Denis Cotterell from coaching Chinese swimmers
, including Sun. Notably, Wang Kecheng turned in a third-place 15:22.33.
Zhang Fenglin dominated the men's 200 back with a 1:56.36. That swim fell just a bit short of his fifth-ranked time of 1:55.59 from the Olympics, but is among the top times in the world this year. Xu Jiayu touched second in 1:59.26, while Diao Qigong earned third in 2:00.50.
Liu Xiang raced to victory in the women's 50 back with a time of 28.19, jumping to 12th in the world this year. Fu Yuanhui, already ranked fifth in the world with a 27.95 from Chinese Nationals in April, took second in 28.39. Cheng Haifua rounded out the top three with a 28.52.
Yin Fan claimed the women's 50 free crown in 25.26, while Xu Wen posted a second-place 25.45. Zhang Ying took third in 25.49, while Olympic gold medalist and world-record holder Ye Shiwen earned fourth with a 25.74 as she focuses in off events this week in Huangshan. Ye is best known for her stunning meet at the London Olympics this summer, where she won gold in the 200 and 400 IM, including setting a world record in the distance medley.
In Ye's absence in the women's 200 IM, Zhang Wenqing took home the gold with a 2:13.24. Chen Yanyi finished just behind with a second-place 2:13.98, while Zhou Min earned third in 2:14.66.
Fan Rong touched out Shi Jinglin in the women's 200 breast, 2:28.33 to 2:28.53, in what proved to be an exciting finish. Liu Hangjiao placed third in 2:29.02, while Ye, continuing to swim off events, took eighth overall in the distance breaststroke event with a 2:36.00.
Olympic silver medalist Lu Ying coasted to a win in her pet event of the women's 100 fly. She charted a 58.78 for the gold medal here in Huangshan. Lu's top time this year came at the London Olympics, where her silver-winning 56.87 ranked her fourth in the world this year. Liu Lan finished second in Huangshan with a 59.32, while Gong Jie touched third in 59.65.
Liu Zhaochen claimed the men's 100 freestyle title in 50.09, while Yu Hexin took second in 50.14. Zhong Qiushi picked up third-place honors in 50.20. Wang Shuai snared the men's 50 breast crown in 27.91, while Li Xiayan touched second in 28.01. Ma Xiang placed third overall with a 28.26.
Yang Zhixian hit the wall in 1:58.40 to capture the men's 200 fly title, while Zuo Zhiqiao earned second in 2:00.23. Liu Yu wound up third in 2:00.33. Shao Yiwen raced to a 1:58.16 to give her the women's 200 free triumph, while Shen Duo finished just behind with a 1:58.23. Cao Yue also cleared 1:59 for a third-place time of 1:58.86.
In relay action, Beijing won the women's 400 free relay in 3:43.63, while Guangdong took second in 3:44.48. Jiangsu finished third in 3:45.25. Guangdong then won the men's 400 medley relay in 3:38.47. Beijing took second in 3:41.45, while Shanghai placed third in 3:43.50.
