Venus Williams pulls out of Wimbledon, citing backBy HOWARD FENDRICH
the associated press | June 19,2013AP FILE PHOTO
Venus Williams reacts after missing a return against Urszula Radwanska in their first round match of the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros stadium in Paris on May 26.After 16 consecutive years of always showing up at Wimbledon, winning five titles along the way, Venus Williams pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament Tuesday, citing a lower back injury.
Williams, who turned 33 on Monday, never had missed Wimbledon since making her debut there in 1997, although she lost in the first round a year ago.
She won the singles trophy it happens to be called the Venus Rosewater Dish in 2000-01, 2005 and 2007-08, to go with two more major championships at the U.S. Open in 2000-01.
But Williams has been dealing with a bad back for a while, playing only three matches in the last two-plus months. She was clearly hampered by the injury during a three-set, three-hour loss to 40th-ranked Urszula Radwanska of Poland in the first round of the French Open last month, then cited her back when she and younger sister Serena withdrew from the doubles competition in Paris.
The older Williams said after the singles loss at Roland Garros her first opening-round exit there in a dozen years that the inflammation in her back made it painful to serve hard, limiting one of the best parts of her game.
Once ranked No. 1, Williams is currently No. 34. Still learning to live as a professional athlete with an energy-sapping autoimmune disease, Sjogrens syndrome, she has two first-round losses in the past four Grand Slam tournaments.
That includes her defeat at Wimbledon last year, the first time shed left a major championship that early since she lost in the first round of the Australian Open in 2006.
With what Ive gone through, its not easy. But Im strong and Im a fighter. You know, I dont think Im just playing for me now. I think Im playing for a lot of people who havent felt well, Williams said after her loss to Radwanska. I think for me today, its a positive to be able to play three hours. Im constantly finding ways to get better and to feel better.
Play begins at Wimbledon next Monday.
Serena Williams, who is ranked No. 1, will be a big favorite to win what would be her sixth Wimbledon title and 17th major championship overall.
Shes won 31 matches in a row, the longest single-season streak on the womens tour since Venus put together a 35-match run in 2000.

GOP Forfeits Latino Vote Despite Obama's Awful Record on Immigration, Economy.
Via Hot Air comes a writeup of a new Fox News Latino poll showing that Latinos are running away from the GOP when it comes to the presidential race:
The national poll of likely Latino voters indicated that 73 percent of them approved of Obama's performance in office, with over half those questioned looking favorably upon his handling of the healthcare debate and the economy, at 66 percent and 58 percent respectively.
Released on the eve of the Super Tuesday primaries in the race for the GOP nomination, the Fox News Latino poll shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney with 35 percent of Latino voter support, to Texas Rep. Ron Paul's 13 percent, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's 12 percent, and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's 9 percent.
But the poll shows that the overwhelming choice among likely Latino voters is President Obama. In head-to-head match-ups none of the GOP candidates would garner more than 14 percent of the Latino vote come November, the poll said.
You can almost hear the Republican faithful grumbling the sorts of sentiments that are precisely the reason why Latinos are wary of the Party of Lincoln.
You know, stuff like "I want to say 'go home' to lots of people" (Newt Gingrich); "I would sign the Dream Act if it were focused on military service" (Mitt Romney); and "My grandfather made sacrifices. He lived in this country five years without his family…So when I hear people say, 'well, people have lived here a long time, and they've played by the rules and we don't want to separate families.' Well, my grandfather separated from his family" (Rick Santorum).
Yeah, perpetuating inhumane policies due to personal grudges is really presidential. Go here for sources on those and other quotes by Republican presidential candidates.
So despite the fact that Barack Obama has been absolutely awful on immigration, he's seemingly got a lock on Latino votes.
And he's been awful in at least two ways.
First, he has presided over a crap economy and has done just about everything he could do to extend the recession by creating regime uncertainty when it comes the rules and regulations that will apply for a decade to come (Dodd-Frank, anyone, or health-care reform?). He's compounded that with horrible fiscal policy that is hell-bent of spending and borrowing until the country runs out of ink.
Second, he's actively deported tens of thousands of parents, has pushed a pro-union, anti-immigrant agenda, and more. If Latinos are right to worry about selective enforcement of immigration laws (and they are), Obama should be right up there with the Sheriff Joes and Jan Brewers of the world.
But leave it to the GOP, especially the mega-minds currently vying to lead the party into November's election, to screw it all up. That Fox News poll mentioned above suggests that a Latino VP would help the Republicans some, but not all that much. There are a number of charismatic, high-profile veep possibilities out there in the Latino community (Sen. Marco Rubio, Govs. Susanna Martinez and Luis Fortuno [check out his Reason interview]) but it will take more than a token pick to change voters' minds (and not just Latino voters, either, but all who find America's immigration policy idiotic).
All the GOP has to do is channel possibly the only goddamn thing George W. Bush ever got right as president. Here's Bush in 2001, talking at Ellis Island, that mythical place that cause "real Americans" (that is, those of us whose parents and grandparents came directly from the slums of Europe rather than the barrios of Mexico and places further south):
"100 million Americans can draw a straight line from the life they know today, to a moment inside this hall," he said. "Immigration is not a problem to be solved, it is a sign of a confident and successful nation. Their arrival should be greeted not with suspicion and resentment, but with openness and courtesy."
And there's this too, from 2004:
"It makes sense to allow the good-hearted people who are coming here to do jobs that Americans won't do a legal way to do so. And providing that legal avenue, it takes the pressure off the border."
I don't particularly care if a Republican or a Democrat wins in November, but I'd like to live in a country that wasn't so fixated on the myth of an immigration crisis and actually opened its borders to everyone yearning to be free and rich and all that. If the GOP had a brain - and that's open for debate - they might just do well to follow Bush's footsteps in this instance. Bush pulled somewhere between 40 percent and 44 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004 (the estimates vary but represent an increase of between six and 10 points over his 2000 total). In 2008, John McCain, routinely lambasted by conservatives as weak on immigration, got a whopping 31 percent of the same bloc. The Fox poll suggests that the best any of the current GOP contenders will do in 2012 is 14 percent.
Certainly, carping about the handful of illegals getting in-state tuition at state colleges and bloviating about the desire to round up tanner-than-me farm laborers is no way to move forward into a glorious future of moon colonies and all that. As someone who moved from a post-Prop. 187 California (in which Republican Gov. Pete Wilson hitched his re-election to rancid Mexiphobia and destroyed the statewide GOP in the process) to George Bush's Texas in the mid-1990s, I can tell you that Dubya's approach works better if you're interested in a calmer social atmosphere and a functioning economy. That not being aggressively anti-immigrant (read: Latino) is merely the neon-red maraschino cherry on top of Chi-Chi's fried ice cream dessert.

Why would anyone expect Hispanics to support the Racist Party?
"White Elephants only please, or else" is pretty much their motto.
right...so instead they should go to the Plantation Party because membership has worked out so well for blacks. Jackasses of all colors is not exactly a recipe for success.
Maybe Romney is smart enough to pick a running mate like Luis Fortuño instead of an asshole like Santorum. I have my doubts, however.
Stop the freebies, and there is no immigration problem. America is again the Land of Opportunity and not the Land of Dependents.
Given that immigrants are less of a burden on those freebies than natives, there is no immigration problem anyway.
This patently not true.
They also pay less in taxes.
Cite, Cyto!
You don't care if a Democrat or a Republican wins, but you still tout that racist sack of shit Ron Paul, even though you found his racist newsletters "jaw dropping"?
All the GOP has to do is channel possibly the only goddamn thing George W. Bush ever got right as president.
Wow, I am kinder to Bush the Least moreso than Gillespie since I add the appointment of Bernanke to that short list. Its like someone convinced him to add the Great Depression expert to the Fed just in time for the GD II.
Ben Bernanke is overseeing oncoming inflation (into the double digits) and rising unemployment rates. By what metric is he a "success" at the Fed?
No one believes that except for goldbugs. The markets say prices are falling, Treasury yields are stable for at least 10 years, and capacity is plentiful.
Coal took a big hit yesterday. It is now only 46% of 2008 highs and its not like demand is falling at electricity plants.
That's total garbage. The "markets" say that unless you look at the food market and the gasoline market. CPI under-weights Food and over-weights housing.
Coal has dropped because Natural Gas has fallen further. Demand for coal electricity is falling as more is done by gas. This shift alone ironically has made US carbon emissions fall more than European.
Shrike gets his "nothing to worry about" talking points by looking at relatively short-term measures.
Those of us who think there is, in fact, something to worry about tend to look at longer-term measures.
How anyone can say that the "goldbugs" are wrong, after looking at a chart of the uninterrupted 12 year bull market in gold is a mystery to me. Naturally, shrike focusses on the recent pullback from historic highs.
Pointing to Treasuries as an indication of anything is fallacy, since the Fed has been overtly and covertly manipulating that market for at least three years. The ten year Treasuries he points to are the most recent target of an overt campaign to suppress rates (Operation Twist).
We support open immigration. This proves that we're Shills for the Republican Establishment. It's practically the Free Republic around here.
Oh, and this problem is too deep to fix with a Rubio band-aid.
Go Rick! Suck that chocolate "ice cream"! Suck it!
with over half those questioned looking favorably upon his handling of the healthcare debate and the economy, at 66 percent and 58 percent respectively
Maybe immigration policy/rhetoric really isn't the problem here...
Or maybe Latins care more about welfare and big government than they do about immigration? You are right, Obama has fucked them royally. But maybe they just don't care.
A lot of it is tone and delivery. Much of the public face of the GOP doesn't do a very good job distinguishing Latin American immigrants and illegal immigrants from Latin America when talking about the subject, and the more fiery the rhetoric, the more the distinction collapses into nothing.
"Taller fences, wider gates" would be a compelling argument if they didn't consistently leave off the second part.
They are playing to their base.
You shouldn't have to play that much to your base. That's why they are your base.
Then the base are assholes.
Libertarians, of course, are never assholes.
Why does everyone assume that the biggest concern for Latino voters is unlimited Latino immigration?
You don't see me out on the street protesting immigration restrictions on letting Irish people in.
Because that's what they heard from the ole MSM
'Lectric fence with a moat!
and gators!
This article assumes that the GOP would both pick up more Latin votes if they were pro open borders and not lose more white working class votes. I don't think it is clear at all that either is true.
What reason is there to believe the Hispanic vote will shift even if the GOP became pro open borders? I don't see much of one let alone a reason to think it would shift in huge numbers necessary to make up for the GOP loss its base.
Maybe instead of this being a story of GOP stupidity, it is the story of Hispanic voters losing leverage in both parties by becoming a unified voting block that one side sees as hopeless and the other feels free to take for granted.
I don't see any reason whity workers would stop voting GOP for this reason. Bush got that big Hispanic chunk without that problem.
What reason is there to believe the Hispanic vote will shift even if the GOP became pro open borders?
Did you miss the part of the article where Bush jr. got 40%+ of the Latino vote by not being a complete asshole about immigration?
The GOP is dooming itself with its hostile attitude towards Latinos, who are becoming an ever greater proportion of the electorate.
"The GOP is dooming itself with its hostile attitude towards Latinos, who are becoming an ever greater proportion of the electorate."
^ This ^ Right here ^ is the BIG reason that *AHEM* 'immigration' has become so contentious. Roughly 50% of the people who call themselves democrats as well as about 70% (or more...) of those who commonly vote republican want illegal immigration halted. The change in living standards, and the changes in culture with this huge of a wave of illegal aliens is what is infuriating the country. Right now, it's a bit on the back-burner due to the horrible economy - but when it(the economy..) really starts picking up - most Americans do not want another wave crossing the borders. It's a palpable concern and justified, IMO....
"This article assumes that the GOP would both pick up more Latin votes if they were pro open borders and not lose more white working class votes."
John you are right. I don't get why Libertarians think open borders is a good idea. What this country needs is more intelligent people not more useless assholes that crawl across the border. Legal immigration is fine....illegal is not. No country on the planet has open borders.
So despite the fact that Barack Obama has been absolutely awful on immigration, he's seemingly got a lock on Latino votes.
I have no reason to believe that Hispanics are especially policy conscious any more than any other voter bloc, quite frankly. Respondents may simply be expressing affinity for the Democrat because that's what is understood they should do.
Good lord, that has to be the most disturbing photo of Santorum I've ever seen. And that truly is saying something.
here's what the GOP misses - in many ways, the Latino family of today is like the nuclear family of the 1950s: young with children, perhaps a grandparent or two in the same house, with high aspirations for the future.
The appeal is simple - we understand why you came here, for the same reason our/my parents did, opportunity. We believe the path lies with the least restrictive type of govt, something many of you and/or your parents and grandparents understand only too well. Our opponents would have you believe that you can only succeed with govt help. We believe the best path is lined with the fewest obstacles possible in order to maximize opportunity. No party can guarantee great results or even equal results, but our way holds that the only limit to what you can achieve is your own ambition.
Of course, this presumes the presence of a party that actually believes this stuff.
Of course, this presumes the presence of a party that actually believes this stuff.
There is such a party. Its initials are LP.
Why any black or Latino would vote R or D baffles me.
I think the LP or whatever third party could relevantly replace it needs to do better at targeting outreach towards minorities, gays, etc. Those who have been oppressed by government the most are somehow the least lobbied by the anti-government party.
Those who have been
oppressedpandered to the most by government the mostare somehow the least lobbied by the anti-government party.
FIFY. And also expleined the seeming conundrum.
Both parties just pander to the various blocs of latino, black, gay, etc. Neither one really plans on doing jack shit for them.
How about they do jack shit for themselves???? HUH???
Depends on how you market it. The war on drugs has destroyed generations of black people, not to mention the poverty resulting from slavery and legal inequality. Latinos are held back from starting their own businesses and bringing their families here legally, and many have been pushed from their own lands as an unintended consequence of our war on drugs. How can Mexico and the rest of Central America develop with our policies down there? I think there's a compelling inroads there that hasn't been exploited or has been disrupted by issues like the Ron Paul Newsletters that give the impression that libertarians are an exclusive bunch of angry white men.
Why assume people immigrate for better jobs. It is more logical to assume people immigrate to get free stuff as this is human nature.
Shout "Free food" at your workplace and get knocked down by the stampede for the goodies. Uncle Sam shouts to the world "Free crap for bums". Bums are as likely to come as willing workers.
Every libertarian knows that immigrants are heroic objectivists that eschew welfare and only want hard work.
And no amount of contrary evidence will mislead them.
Sheaman, right on.
The GOP most definitely does not have a brain; they are voting in droves for the guy who inspired the hated Obamacare.
And that same guy (willard) has basically said that he wants to fix Obamacare, not repeal it.
And yet the GOP lemmings keep telling each other that Willard really wants to repeal it but the libruls prevent him from saying so.
Since when the fuck is the various Latino cultures which span a massive geographical area one voting bloc?
Here's a hint: Argentinians don't give a shit about Cubans who fucking hate Puerto Ricans who look down upon their island brethren Dominicans who couldn't care less about Guatemalans who strive mightily to be called anything other than Nicaraguan who has nothing to do with Uraguayans who laugh and point fingers at their land locked neighbor Paraguayans. And none of them give the tiniest shit about Mexicans and their immigration woes.
In short, there is no "Latino" vote.
While I agree that there are differences in national origin among Hispanics, I don't think there's much evidence that translates into anything exploitable for Republicans other than with regard to Cubans. (And even the trend over the past several elections has been for Cubans to vote increasingly Democratic as the original anti-Communist refugees die off and and get replaced by native born Americans.)
In this case, they basically mean Mexicans, who want to come over here and freeload.
They're never, ever going to vote Republican. Why would they want to cut off the free government stuff?
Why Reason wants them to come here and enable the perpetual welfare state is beyond me. Once there is a tipping point, the US will end up basically like Mexico was for almost a 100 years, a one party state.
That's why open borders is a bad policy. There are hispanics from all over South and Central America that want in so they can work, and they should be let in.
But letting Mexicans walk over the border to get free healthcare and welfare is not good.
What's so awful about Prop. 187? It's purely a spending CUT. There's no real libertarian case against it I've ever heard (besides the assertion that checking the immigration status of welfare recipients would cost more than actually providing them welfare, although I'd like to see actual statistics for that). Essentially, the absurd liberaltarian position is that "diversity"/cheap labor for whatever donor is such a positive good that it should receive massive taxpayer subsidization. Exactly how much welfare must illegal immigrants receive from the taxpayer before we've achieved "libertarianism," Nick?
And don't get me wrong, I'm a totally free-trade, unlimited immigration, completely open borders, abolish-the-government-entirely type of guy. My significant other (who agrees with me) is a Hispanic immigrant. So you can't quite pull the "ur just a racist protectionist!" card with me.
Why does this country need more immigrants? Eliminate unemployment payments and welfare and this country will have plenty of workers to do everything that needs to be done.
I think you're correct there....
Yeah, latinos suck, but not as much as old people.

Two matches that were postponed, because both LdB FC Malmö and AIK had several players in the U19 European Championships that were played in Turkey in July – and that Sweden won by beating Spain 1-0 after extra time.
Attendance: 318
Djurgården: Mia Jalkerud 88′
Malmö: Elin Rubensson 73′, Ramona Bachmann 84′
Attendance: 560
Umeå: Tuija Hyyrynen 36′, Lina Hurtig 47′, Emma Åberg Zingmark 87′
AIK: Susan Varli 87′
Attendance: 213
For Jitex this was their first point after four consecutive losses. Linköping with their new coach Martin Sjögren (the man who took LdB FC Malmö to two championships 2010 & 2011) had to play without Nilla Fischer who has become one of the most important members of her new team, especially since team captain Charlotte Rohlin is away due to an ACL. Only 213 spectators keep Jitex down on the attendance list – they went home without seeing a goal.
Attendance: 676
Malmö: Sara Björk Gunnarsdottir 2′, Katrin Schmidt 13′, Anja Mittag 19′, Katrine Veje 85′
That did not stop the team from winning easily against downside Djurgården which they had met four days before. This time though with goalkeeper Tove Engblom, only 17 years old. After 20 minutes the match was more or less over and Malmö played it home without the slightest problem.
KDFF: Therese Andersson 24′, Katrin Omarsdottir 60′, Susanne Moberg 67′, Elin Nilsen 86′
AIK vs Göteborg 1:0
AIK: Susan Varli (PK) 41′
Tyresö FF vs Vittsjö GIK 5-1
Attendance: 2357
Tyresö: Linda Sembrant 14′, Marta 19′, Madelaine Edlund 35′, Kirsten van de Ven 57′, Vero Boquete 71′
Vittsjö: Kirsty Yallop

Asian Inventions and Inventors
Invention of the Mirror
When was the mirror invented? Humans have probably used still water as a mirror for millions of years, but a sheet of glass with metal backing is a much more recent invention.
Invention of Paper
Learn more about the invention of paper, which took place in northwestern China around 2000 years ago.
Invention of Paper Money
Paper money first appeared in 10th century China, during the Song Dynasty. It proved much more convenient than coins, but easier to counterfeit.
50 Amazing Asian Inventions
Asian Inventors have created dozens of the things we take for granted in our daily lives. They also domesticated most of our most important livestock and many pet animals. Explore fifty of the most amazing Asian inventions of all time!
Invention of the Stirrup
Invention of the stirrup, a key piece of horse tack for warriors and other riders. The subject of where stirrups were invented is surprisingly controversial; Mongolia, China, Korea and Japan all have supporters in the debate.
Prehistoric Asian Inventions
Between 10,000 and 3,500 B.C., the earliest human cultures in Asia created some of the most basic inventions ... Inventions that are still important today! They domesticated many of the plants and animals that we rely upon for food or companionship: wheat, peas, sheep, cats, cattle, chickens, and rice. They also invented pottery, woven cloth,...
Ancient Asian Inventions
Once the most basic inventions had been created in prehistoric times - food, transport, clothing, and alcohol - humanity was free to create more luxurious goods. In ancient times, Asian inventors came up with such fripperies as silk, soap, glass, ink, parasols, and kites. Some inventions of a more serious nature also appeared at this time:...
Classical Asian Inventions
Asian inventions of the classical era, 1000 B.C. to 500 A.D., include a few luxury items such as mirrors and ice cream. However, most of the notable creations are more practical in bent -- things like crossbows, paper, the wheelbarrow, and horse tack.
Medieval Asian Inventions
Medieval Asia saw the invention of products both luxurious (porcelain, toilet paper, perfume, chess) and intensely practical (the flamethrower, canal locks, and hypodermic needles).
Early Modern and Modern Asian Inventions
Between 1100 and 2000 A.D., Asian nations produced an astonishing array of inventions. Beginning with the magnetic compass, and moving on through the toothbrush, the multi-function bidet, and the PlayStation game console, modern Asian inventions span the continent and the realm of possible functions.
Invention of Gunpowder

By Marcia Flory
Special to the Herald
---- — Each month YWCA members and volunteers are featured highlighting the many facets of our community in which they're a part. This month, Marcia Flory shares information about meditation classes offered at the YWCA.
I have witnessed a lot of miracles in the last seven years of teaching at our local YWCA. Many have occurred from teaching meditation to hundreds of community members. It is so rewarding to see a positive transformation in a student's outlook on life. Establishing a daily meditative practice also has resulted in their improved physical health and emotional well-being.
Sandi Sills joined my meditation class last fall. Sills reports she is much more focused now and her daily practice has reduced her arthritic pain, lessened her ADHD episodes and helped to heal her grief.
"I lost my sister and aunt a year ago. I was so sad inside. I now can remember the good times," she said. "I focus on being grateful to have had them in my life rather than being remorseful."
Meditating with a group creates a sense of belonging and a willingness to embrace an important truth that pertains to everyone's life purpose, remembering to be kind. When we remember to be kind, we release judgment and expectations of another. In meditation, we also learn the importance of extending that same kindness and tolerance to ourselves. Students find that meditation opens new doors for them on their spiritual journey. Gerald Eckrich says, "Practicing the meditation techniques I learned in this class brings me a peace I couldn't get by just sitting quiet or listening to music."
Being mindful builds patience, acceptance and an understanding of life's challenges. I teach that challenges are simply learning opportunities being gifted to us to spiritually evolve. Nothing is ever done to us but for us. This provides each of us countless times to master the art of forgiveness and compassion. In class we also learn to forgive ourselves. Everyone is deserving of love. When a person is trapped in the confusion of anger or fear, they are searching for the clarity that only love can offer.
Being mindful teaches us to look at life situations and interactions in a whole new way. When we practice the various meditative techniques, either through learning to monitor our breathing, listening to guided visualizations, or engaging in various healthy activities, all help us to stay present and focused. In doing so healing occurs on all levels. Our minds, bodies, souls and emotions make up the various levels that register pleasure or pain. We are spiritual beings in physical form that create infinite possibilities that allow us to learn our life lessons. Meditation connects us to our inner wisdom. We are never truly alone. We are always being guided by a higher power to choose wisely. Rocio Ayard-Ochoa has experienced this.
She explains, "Meditating facilitates me to be the best version of myself and letting go of anything else that is not beneficial."
The multiple reasons given to attend my classes are as varied as the participants' ages and backgrounds. Men and women both report they welcome the community of like-minded individuals. Many students have taken my classes for the entire seven years I have taught. Jean Smith is one of those. She reports that meditation is life changing.
Smith explains, "I have learned how we are all connected and every single person you meet is an opportunity to offer peace and love. By combining the power of the class we can help others in crisis."
No matter if a person is new to meditation or has advanced into the Level 4 meditation class, all become empowered. All develop some level of healing. Kathi Sherman is just completing her first eight weeks in Level 1 meditation. She shares, "Meditation is teaching me new techniques to help deal with everyday stress. Marcia's soothing guidance has made for a most pleasant experience. Her teachings are having a positive impact in my life!"
I welcome everyone to embrace a daily meditative practice to create a healthier and happier lifestyle. The new session of meditation classes begin at the YWCA the week of April 9. For class details, visit www.ywcaclinton.org.
Marcia Flory, a registered nurse, is an Usui Reiki Master Teacher.

Apple (AAPL): Saving investors' hides, just like it used to.
The S&P 500′s technology sector finished with a 0.64% gain today. Strip out Apple and it would have fallen 0.05%, notes S&P Dow Jones index analyst Howard Silverblatt just now. The Apple-free Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) finished with a 42-point loss; the Apple-rich PowerShares QQQ (QQQ) ended 0.4% higher.
Year to date, the S&P's tech sector is up 12.86%. Take out Apple and the lead shrinks to 6%, even after the stock's late-year losses, notes Silverblatt.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors. The blog is written by Brendan Conway, Barron's funds blogger and columnist.

May we help you
À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Sail off to idyllic Coche Island in a catamaran to spend a leisurely day at the beach, where you are free to enjoy the laid-back, unspoiled setting at your own pace.
Depart from the harbor in a sleek 42-foot catamaran and sail due south toward Coche Island, a rather arid island that lies between Isla de Margarita and the Venezuelan mainland. The first settlers arrived in the early 16th century to work in the pearl oyster beds and to extract salt from the abundant deposits. Today, the island primarily revolves around its spectacular beaches because the sun nearly always shines here.
Upon arriving at Coche Island, you will enjoy approximately three hours at one of its finest beaches. You are free to do whatever you please on this stretch of sugary-white sand. Beach chairs, beverages and plenty of tropical fruits are available throughout your time here, but don't feel obliged to stay in one place. You might stroll down the pristine shore, go for an invigorating swim, or watch the windsurfers and kiteboarders that frequent this area because of the ideal water conditions. Of course, you are also welcome to do nothing more ambitious than lie in the sun or shade with good book in hand.
Following your time on laid-back Coche Island, you will re-board the catamaran and sail back to the pier. From this vantage point on the water, your perspective will be much like the one Columbus had when he sailed these waters in 1498.
Please note: Walking on this tour is mainly at the guests' discretion. At the beach there will be sandy surfaces to negotiate. Guests must be agile enough to enter and exit the catamaran with limited assistance. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and may not be suitable for those with mobility concerns who are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. A swimsuit worn under a cover-up; sun cap; sunglasses; sunscreen; a towel from the ship; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Those who take part in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility.
NOTICE: All Oceania Cruises shore excursion fares are listed per person, and are subject to change and availability. Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions. While Oceania Cruises makes every effort to adhere to the specifics mentioned in each shore excursion description, circumstances may require otherwise. All shore excursion information contained on this website is subject to change without notice at Oceania Cruises' discretion. Oceania Cruises is not responsible or liable for typographical error, omissions or misprints.

I'm heading off to the airport to go to Web.Start in Croatia.
Branimir Dolicki, who distributes FogBugz in German-speaking countries, has lived in Zagreb, and was kind enough to make a Google map suggesting some nice places to visit while I'm there.
On the way home, I'll briefly stop in Edinburgh to meet some readers and make amends for trying to annex Scotland to England. I've been reassured by the hotel that I only have to buy the first round, and there'll be a cash bar thereafter.
You're reading Joel on Software, stuffed with years and years of completely raving mad articles about software development, managing software teams, designing user interfaces, running successful software companies, and rubber duckies.
I'm Joel Spolsky, co-founder of Fog Creek Software, a New York company that proves that you can treat programmers well and still be highly profitable. Programmers get private offices, free lunch, and work 40 hours a week. Customers only pay for software if they're delighted. We make Trello, insanely simple project management, FogBugz, an enlightened bug tracker designed to help great teams develop brilliant software, and Kiln, which simplifies source control. I'm also the co-founder and CEO of Stack Exchange. More about me.

Perhaps you should look up how many campaign events he went to in a single day??? Too bad he thinks campaign events and money are more important than showing respect for a fallen soldier, no matter how he died. Your excuses and lies just grow longer and longer just like your Pinocchio nose.<quoted text>
BTW - From the linked story:
"Kyles memorial service was held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Monday, at which Obama wasnt in attendance. He received some criticism for his absence, however, it appears that the commander-in-chief was attending the Medal of Honor ceremony for former Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha that same day."
I guess he didn't avoid that one...... huh?
Perhaps you should stick to BENGHAZI!

[disclaimer - some vile language in this video]
The truth be told I'm probably one of Elvis Presley's biggest fan. That being said I knew even as a young child that something was very wrong with Elvis during his last days. I would read the tabloids and even purchase one every now and then that had an Elvis front page article; I loved Elvis. My parents never talked much about Elvis as Elvis to them had long sense faded away. My Dad was exactly the same age as Elvis. I guess you could say Elvis at 42 was old, even in the 70's.
I guess many of us remember that day in August 1977 when we first heard that "The King is Dead". My friend called me on the telephone to let me know and I was absolutely in disbelief. I spent the rest of the day listening to the radio, listening to the news, listening to Elvis songs and eventually, and according to my parents, I locked myself in my bedroom for three whole days. I probably did do that.
This isn't a post to trash Elvis. I think we've learned over the years to just how addicted Elvis was to Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll. However, I learned a good deal from this video about the life of Elvis from his closest friends and confidants. If you enjoyed Elvis then I challenge you to take an hour and be entertained, shocked and bewildered as you look into the life of one of our greatest music stars....ever. I've talked with folks who attended an Elvis concert and they all said the same thing, "there's nothing like an Elvis concert". That's probably true because when Elvis performed it was all about Elvis. No fancy light show but just an amazing concert show.
I continue to be amazed at the depths to which Elvis fell with his drug abuse.. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Adams, Tommy Bolin, Keith Moon and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, to name just a few big name artists who all died young from drug abuse.
Elvis was a great performer and had great God given talents but as my friend mentioned to me in an e-mail; "Elvis chose the wide path". It's a sad story my friends. I find myself listening to Elvis with my iPhone at rehab. Elvis could belt out a tune, this is a fact.
Do you have a child hood star you still idolize today? Maybe an actor, musician or political figure. I know Elvis isn't for everyone but for the few years he was here on Earth he made his mark; probably not the mark and legacy he had hoped to leave behind.

4 Chicago Election Judges Arrested; Prosecutor Sorry for Profane Voice Mail in Sib's Campaign
Posted Nov 2, 2010 7:31 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Updated: Four Chicago election judges were arrested today, including two who were allegedly drunk, one who was accused of yanking a provisional ballot out of a voter's hands and another claimed to have groped a female election judge, reports Fox News.
A Chicago Sun-Times article provides more details about the ballot incident, which also reportedly involved shoving.
Meanwhile, a Michigan prosecutor has apologized for leaving a profane voice mail message for a candidate seeking election to the Macomb County Commission, reports the Detroit Free Press.
The brother of Macomb County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Smith is also a candidate in the county commission race. For those who want to know exactly what Smith allegedly said, the article includes a link to an audio of the claimed message that was provided to the newspaper by the Macomb County Republican Party.
It has asked the state attorney general to pursue a potential criminal case and the state Attorney Grievance Commission to pursue a potential legal ethics case, the newspaper reports.
Last updated on Nov. 3 to include information from Chicago Sun-Times article.

When my parents died, I realized that I was in many ways representing the senior generation in my small family. Thankfully, we still have my one older cousin, Sandy, but there are no other "senior" members left. However, I was fortunate to have married into a new family on my wife's side, with my second marriage a few years ago.
We recently visited her parents, staying in their new condo and spending intimate time together. I found this particular time brought out a plethora of emotions, largely because my boys didn't travel with us, allowing attention to be focused between the four adults.
My in-laws had recently moved into a truly beautiful new-style retirement building. To use the word "retirement" is to demean the charm and luxurious amenities this building and its services provide.
The first exposure I had to aging was visiting my grandparents in their nursing homes. This was in the sixties and early seventies. Basically, they were housed in rooms for two, the place smelled of a mixture of antiseptics and bodily fluids, and it felt like a warehouse for people to await their demise. Those memories are strong and uncomfortable.
Fast-forward some decades when my parents could no longer live on their own and we found what was about the best assisted-living facilities available–ten years ago.
It was better than those nursing homes; however, the smell was still there to a small degree, the staff was hit-and-miss and the food was dreadful. I spent far too much time fighting with the management of the two facilities my parents were in over conditions, the food, the poor staff and other considerations. I supplemented my parents lives with regular care-packages of food, trips to favorite restaurants, and as their health would allow, excursions to the movies and such.
These were very tough times for them and, in many ways, equally difficult for me. I was in the throes of a difficult divorce, had to sell and move from the beautiful home we'd lived in, and was quickly becoming the sole 24/7 parents to my boys. Being an only child, my parent's care fell solely on my shoulders.
My boys were too young to help much until the short year after my father died and my mother was widowed. We moved her to another assisted living home closer to us, and my older son somehow had the heart and concern to be her regular companion. I still fought the good fight with the management of the facility in which she resided but my son seemed to have more patience than me in simply giving her the love–time really–of being with her.
When my mother died, I felt a mixture of extreme grief and guilty relief. I also realized I was now the senior member of our by now even smaller family.
Marrying my wife brought the opportunity to become part of a larger family. At first, both my older son and me resisted to one degree or another. We were polite, we were respectful, but it wasn't "our" family and the recent losses seemed too fresh to just accept and love these new family members.
My wife had the same choice, really, when she joined my immediate family and yet she chose to embrace the boys as well as she could from the start.
Eventually, I got caught up in not only the drama of my new family, but the heart and soul of the individuals. My in-laws each faced health hurdles early in our time together and this brought back those memories of all the time my late parents had surmounted surgery after surgery, illness and setback after illness. Now, however, I could offer emotional support to my wife but only had to drive her to the airport since she was the point-person to handle it.
A family dinner, on this recent trip, subtly revealed the joy of my extended family–even when you simply get lucky and marry into it. We went to a Chinese restaurant with an aunt, cousins, kids and the newest member of the family, a baby boy.
I had the pleasure of seeing my two young cousins-by-marriage grow from little children to bigger children. One has blossomed into a young lady who was now happily nurturing her new baby boy cousin. Seeing these three kids, along with their mom, grandmother and my in-laws was quite joyful. I snapped endless photos and really did begin to feel–again–part of a larger family.
Maybe my tiny family wasn't so tiny anymore? Maybe I was part of the generations that were continuing via my new extended family. Maybe I wasn't the senior member of the family as I once had thought. Maybe I was now part of a bigger multi-generational family.
This was my new reality. And while I continue to miss my own parents, I am blessed to now have loving in-laws, and various other family members through the blessing of my second marriage. Lucky me.

Marinade tenderizing scienceThe cooking process itself turns connective tissues into gelatin to varying degrees. Depending on the cut and type of meat, it may need a little assistance to bring it to a palatable range of tenderness. Certain plant and fungi enzymes and acids can break down muscle and connective proteins in meats. As far back as pre-Columbian Mexico, cooks found that wrapping meats in papaya leaves before cooking made for more tender results. The active enzyme in the papaya leaves is papain, now refined from papayas and commercially available. Connective tissue that comes in direct contact with the protein-digesting enzymes gets broken down.
These tenderizing enzymes also reduce the capability of the meat to hold its juices, resulting in greater fluid loss and thus drier meat. Enzymes are heat activated at levels between 140 and 175 degrees F. and deactivated at the boiling point, so it really serves no purpose other than flavoring to let meat sit in a marinade at room temperature. In fact, refrigeration is recommended to avoid the growth of harmful bacteria. Let meat come to room temperature before cooking.
Marination requires contactDirect contact is the important point, since it is necessary for the chemical reaction to occur. This means that soaking a piece of meat in a marinade will only penetrate just so far into the surface of the meat. If you marinate a large cut of meat in a tenderizing marinade, you end up with a mushy exterior and an unaffected center. Puncturing the meat for the marinade to penetrate gives an uneven result, with the further undesirable side effect of allowing the meat to lose even more juices while cooking. Thus, flat cuts of meat benefit most from tenderizing marinades. Place meat in a heavy zip-top bag with the air squeezed out and turn it often to be sure all surfaces benefit from the marinade.
Some slaughterhouses now inject papain into the animals just before slaughtering. The injected papain is carried through the bloodstream to all parts of the animal and is later activated by the cooking process. This sometimes results in a mushy piece of meat due to the enzyme destroying too much of the muscle fiber firmness. The newest method being researched is a machine which immerses tough cuts of meat into a water bath and then sends a shockwave through the meat, breaking down tough fibers.

"Demolition Man" had better demolish the box office.
The Warner Bros. movie opened to great business over the weekend, grossing $14.3 million. But it will take many more impressive weekends to make a success of the picture, since cost overruns drove the combined production and marketing budget to nearly $97 million, according to knowledgeable sources.

Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that are responsible for producing immunoglobulins or antibodies. They are an important part of our acquired immune system.
When a harmful substance such as bacteria, virus or toxin invades our bodies, B lymphocytes recognize it as foreign by antigens, or identifying markers on its cell surface.
The B lymphocyte is then stimulated into converting into a plasma cell. In turn, this plasma cell then begins to devote all of its energy toward producing proteins called immunoglobulins or antibodies that are targeted toward that specific antigen. These immunoglobulins have the ability to destroy the invaders directly.
When our body is exposed to the same antigen again in the future, the plasma cells will remember the invader and be able to quickly produce more antibodies against it.
In myeloma, the cancerous cell is the plasma cell. An abnormal amount of a single clone of plasma cell is produced, leading to uncontrolled release of a particular immunoglobulin protein.

Venditte out until mid-2013 following shoulder surgeryBy
Via Jim Callis, switch-pitcher Pat Venditte will be out until the middle of next season after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. We first heard about the tear back in late-May, but at the time he was still deciding between rehab and surgery.
Venditte, 27, has always been more of performance guy than an actual prospect. His minor league numbers — 2.30 ERA with 10.3 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 277.2 relief innings — are as good as it gets, but the stuff from both sides is very underwhelming. Callis provides an updated scouting report, though the right-handed half is subject to change following the surgery. Venditte will be eligible for minor league free agency after the 2014 season by my unofficial count.

I want him to make the majors just so I can see what happens when he faces a switch hitter.
I think they made a rule to fix that, not sure exactly how it works, but I assume its gone smoothly since he faced switch hitters in the minors.
hitter has the advantage, gets to choose last. the pat venditte rule.
When facing a switch hitter the pitcher must declare what arm he is going to pitch with. I would assume it would probably come down to joe deciding which split is better.
I just want him to make the majors so 'Switch Pitcher' is forced to become an option in baseball games
video games*
I thought he was considered more passable as a lefty since that's the more forgiving side.
I wonder if there's any chance he can pitch just as a lefty while his right shoulder is still on the mend.
I'm guessing anything that's not really physical therapy could be seen as potentially impeding his recovery time or a risk.
Girardi doesn't care how good his stuff is. If Joe gets this guy in his bullpen he'll set a record for most relief appearances in a season. Joe would still be able to set up his binder matchups but wouldn't even need to walk to the mound.
oh boy…. lol
The part where everyone thinks he's, at best, a AAAA guy must not carry the same weight in Eddardville.
Is that his throwing shoulder?
(See what I did there?!?!?)
While it isn't good news to hear a guy get hurt, it's nice to know that now there's much less chance of him getting drafted in rule 5, if there was a moderate chance before.
