LOVES PARK, Ill. (Sunday, October 25th, 2009) -- Scott Dixon should race more often, as the father of three regulars at the Rockford Speedway showed off his skills and outlasted a massive field of 130 cars to collect the final event of the year at the historic facility, the Goblin 250 enduro. Dixon hadn't raced in six years before entering the event, seeking permission from his wife to get back on the track and in his return, the Wisconsin driver made it seem like he had never taken time off. Dixon assumed control with 25 laps remaining, passing Corey Marshall for the top spot, and held Marshall off for the victory. Carolyn Johnson won the Fair Demo Derbies while Greg Elser and Rick Dobbles also collected feature wins.
The best appearing car on the day, Tim Runge's ghoulish machine, led the 130 car field to the green in the Aaron's Sale & Lease Goblin 250. Runge quickly gave up the lead to Joe Rasmussen, who paced the field until lap 45. Steve Goll took control of the race after that, working past Rasumssen and around the vast array of cars.
Goll continued to lead when the first red flag of the race came on lap 115 after Keith Scott spun on the frontstretch and collected three other cars in the mayhem. The leader at the halfway break was still Goll as Matt Belknap gave chase in second.
After considerable attrition over the first portion of the race, around 50 cars returned to the high-banked quarter mile for the final 125 laps which was ran on the Monza course with the backstretch featuring a chicane.
The chicane didn't throw a kink in Goll's plans though, as he continued to lead the field over the next 45 laps. With 80 circuits remaining though, Corey Marshall mounted a charge and pushed past Goll to commandeer the lead and the race. Marshall was still out front with 50 laps to go as Tim Ludke tried to track him down.
With 219 laps in the book, the second red flag of the day brought the field to a halt with Marshall still out front. Marshall lost the lead in short order to Scott Dixon, as Dixon grabbed the top spot with 25 laps to go.
Dixon held on the over the final 25 circuits to collect the race win and claim the Goblin 250.
"The kids race down here regularly and they dared me to come down here and race," an exhausted Dixon stated in victory lane. "I have to thank my wife because she didn't want me to race but we'll have to see if we can do this again. It feels good to come out on top here and get the win."
Marshall, Ludke, Belknap and Jeff Myers rounded out the top five.
In the Darkhorse Painkiller Classic Fair Class feature, it was Greg Elser and his 1975 Chevy Impala surviving 32 other cars and numerous carnage to claim victory.
Rick Dobbles in his 1973 Chrysler New Yorker prevailed in a three car battle of attrition in the Darkhorse Frankenstein Class feature.
Carolyn Johnson outlasted 16 other cars to take home the crown in the Fair Class demolition derby.

Enough said
I had a 64 GB wifi One for two years but occasionally while traveling used my husband's mobile hot spot. We have lots of free wifi in. my small city but still I wanted some 3/4G availability so bought Ipad three 3/4G 64 GB this time. I'm using the 1GB for $20 from Verizon and not using even 1/2 of it. I do expect to up it for travel but for now 1GB is fine (altho' if I used more the 2GB for $30 would be a better value).
Are you sure you are unlimited? I heard that AT&T is not really unlimited anymore. They start throttling you after 3gigs. This applies to those that are grandfathered as well.Originally Posted by IGonz

Would Apple really shutter iTunes? Unlikely
Apple did indeed say that if it couldn't make a profit, it "most likely" will not continue to operate iTunes. You can find a copy of the statement here on page 4 (PDF).
Fortune magazine published a bombshell of a story on Tuesday by reporting that Apple once threatened to close iTunes if forced to pay more for music royalties. A more careful reading of the statement from an Apple executive shows that it was more of a veiled threat. Regardless, it's possible Apple could shut down iTunes.
But is it likely? No. Here's why: … Read more

Motivation, humor, and ideas that every school-based
speech-language pathologist will love!
Passwords and Space Aliens in Speech Therapy
As adults, we have a massive amount of important things we need to remember, and passwords are right at the top of the infamous must remember list. A password for the email address, a password for the bank account, a password for the go-to social networking website -- YIKES! If I have to memorize one more password, I swear that my brain just might explode!
I wish passwords were fun.
Wait. Guess what? Passwords CAN be fun! For example, one time while vacationing in Orlando, Florida, I ate at a yummy restaurant that required each customer to say a secret password in order to be allowed entrance into the restaurant. It was a cute spin on the whole dining experience and I couldn't help but think that some sort of variation of using a password to get into MY speech therapy room might go over well with my students. So I gave it a go and I have been happily doing it for quite some time now.
Give your students a secret password!
About once a month or so, I choose a completely random word as a password (pancakes, spider, smelly sneaker, etc.). I go on to tell only one student on my caseload. After I reveal the random word to him/her, I urge that student to share the password with as many speech friends as possible. In addition, he/she must encourage all who are told the password to also pass it on to as many speech friends, too. I usually play it up by informing them that they will not be allowed to enter the speech room next time unless they whisper the correct password in my ear. The kiddos really get a kick out of that.
Word of mouth is amazing.
It really does knock my socks off when sometimes within 24 hours, literally ever single youngster on my caseload knows the password. The password goes viral! Even the students who were absent the day that it was shared STILL usually know the password (I'm often told that they got a text message from one of their speech friends, LOL!).
Why do we need a password to enter the speech room? Good question!
I enjoy telling my students that passwords, here and there, are necessary for me to ensure that they really are who they say they are. Because . . . well . . . sometimes . . . SPACE ALIENS take over the bodies of school-aged kiddos and I can't have any space aliens in my room because I'm allergic to them (HAHA!). It's simple, if you're human, you probably know the password. If you're a space alien, you probably don't know the password.
A simple app can make it make it even more exciting.
To drive this point home further, I bust out my iPad, which contains an app called Alien Scanner. This silly app allows speech-language pathologists to "detect" if any of your speech therapy students are space aliens. All you have to do is have your student press his/her finger on the app screen in order to begin the scan. Then, the app starts scanning the fingerprint and once complete, it shows a final percentage number as to how likely the fingerprint is or isn't attached to a space alien. Also, the cool thing about this app is that the final percentage number is set to random by default, but by pressing the Settings button, you can change the result to your liking, so it's up to you if your students have a high or a low space alien percentage. (FYI - this is a free app, however, I upgraded to the paid version for .99 because I just love the app that much!)
Unlimited possibilities!
What I love about the idea of having a password in speech therapy is that it could work perfectly with articulation kiddos. Let's say you have a student who is working on that tricky /R/ sound. Well, how about making the random passwords contact lots of /R/ sounds? We all know that there's no shortage of /R/ words in the English language, so why not turn those words into passwords? Genius!
In closing . . .
So, what cha think? Do you think your kiddos would be into the idea of having a random password here and there? Do you think your kiddos would enjoy placing their finger on the Alien Scanner in order to see if they are or are not a space alien? Please do give these little speech therapy ideas a shot and let me know how it goes. I would love to hear from you. Oh, and if you're craving another app that has to do with passwords, please check out the app that I created called Secret Mission Articulation. It is, hands down, one of the coolest apps out there! ;-)
Saving the World in Speech Therapy with Secret Mission Articulation
One of my favorite games to play in speech therapy with my older articulation kiddos is hangman. Now, I don't know the origins of that game (a man hanging?! weird!), but I can tell you that despite its creepiness (again, a man hanging?!), it still is a great activity that consistently increases my students' vocabulary, spelling, word recognition, and overall understanding of their target sound(s).
But don't you wish there was a non-creepy version of hangman?
I know I sure did. So I looked high and low, but I wasn't able to find one that fit my needs as a speech-language pathologist. So then it hit me, why don't I just make one myself? Necessity is the mother of invention, right?
A new app is born and it rocks!
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to present to you my latest app called Secret Mission Articulation. This unique (and non-creepy) hangman-ish game is very cool and my students love it bits. It challenges players to guess a hidden word by choosing from different letters on an alphabet board. The app features a comprehensive collection of over 600 sound-specific articulation words designed for SLPs to use with individuals who exhibit difficulty producing the following speech sounds: S, Z, R, L, S/R/L Blends, SH, CH, and TH. In addition, it contains over 100 hilarious secret missions for players to pretend to partake in. Secret missions?! Yup! Secret missions, indeed!
The evil robot must be stopped!
Secret Mission Articulation is set up in a way that turns each player into a secret government agent who is courageously trying to foil the sinister plans of an evil robot. This super villain will stop at nothing wreak havoc. Thankfully, each player in your speech therapy room possesses the power to stop the evil robot by successfully guessing his secret password (which would be your student's articulation word, NICE!). Once the password is uncovered and entered into the system, the evil robot instantly shuts down. Therefore, he is unable to complete the naughty plans that he was preparing for. Hooray!
So, are you ready to save the world from the evil robot?
The planet is counting on you! I invite you to use Secret Mission Articulation to spice up your speech therapy sessions. Click HERE to see a quick video demonstration of it. Then, click HERE to download it from the Apple App Store. Enjoy (and please let me know what you think)!
Using Food Coloring in Speech Therapy to Gain Awesome Superpowers
Back when I was a youngster, I used to help my grandmother in the kitchen whenever I got the chance. Let me tell you, she was a champ when it came to baking. From cookies to pies and everything in between, my sweet tooth would sing joyful songs each time my grandmother and I were together.
I discovered food coloring thanks to her.
My grandmother was like a Pablo Picasso when it came to mixing food coloring together. I have fond memories of her famous fluffy vanilla cupcakes and how she was able to effortlessly whip up the most perfect shade of sky blue frosting for the tops. Biting into those bad boys was like snacking on pure sunshine. And God bless her for allowing me to experiment with mixing colors for her (I remembered gettin' the kitchen quite dirty, haha!).
Speaking of food coloring, my students and I actually used food coloring in speech therapy not too long ago and it was . . . AWESOME!
Food coloring, or as I have heard some people call it -- color additive, is any dye, pigment, or substance that adds color to a food or drink. It comes in many different forms like liquid, powder, or paste. The type of food coloring my students and I used was the liquid kind and I'm going to go through the steps that I took to introduce this simple but WAY fun material into my speech therapy room.
- STEP 1 - Grab some water, a few plastic cups (the clear kind), and some paperclips.
- STEP 2 - Pour water into your plastic cups. Then, allow your students to pick their favorite color and direct them to squeeze a small droplet of food coloring into the cup of water. Watch their eyes light up as they start to see their water turn from crystal clear to whatever color they chose within a few seconds (so cool!).
- STEP 3 - Now that there are a few cups filled with colored liquid, tell them to use their imaginations and pretend that the liquid is actually a magic potion. Go on to explain that upon touching the magic potion, it will give them a unique superpower, but they have to decide what the superpower is going to be.
- STEP 4 - As you can see from this picture, my students thought up some terrific superpowers that actually coincided with their chosen color (and that was their idea, NOT MINE!). Do you want to shoot fire out of your finger? The red potion is for you. How about to grow as tall as a tree whenever you want? You are going to want the green potion. Etc.
- STEP 5 - Give them a handful of paperclips and tell them to throw 'em into their magic potion. The first person to get 3 paperclips in wins the superpower. (The superpower kicks in once their fingers go into the water to retrieve the paperclips, so encourage them to make some sound effects once the magic potion comes in contact with their skin!)
The language goals are endless!
I asked my students to DESCRIBE to me what they would do with their newly acquired superpower. Together, we came up with stories of us fighting bad guys that included using our fire powers to destroy all of their weapons of mass destruction and growing as tall as a tree to grab the criminals out of their getaway helicopter while it was flying in the air.
You could win fantastic prizes, too!
Another group I had came up with the idea to win imaginary prizes upon throwing 3 paperclips into their plastic cups. Check out this picture to see what prizes they thought up. Win a talking green frog?! Now THAT would rock!
In closing . . .
What I love most about this speech therapy idea is that it was fun for 2nd graders AND 6th graders. It isn't very often that my 6th graders enjoy the same thing that I did with my younger kiddos, but this idea got their gold seal of approval! So, do you think this food coloring activity could be something worth giving a shot with your caseload? Do you think they would get a kick out of mixing different colors in water to create their very own magic potion? As always, I would love to hear from you, so please let me know how it goes.
Talking About Unusual Town Names in Speech Therapy
It all started with a student telling me about what he did over the weekend. "My grandma from Dumb Fries, Virginia came to visit us." he said with a smile. "Have you ever heard of a town called Dumb Fries before?" chuckled the 2nd grader.
Dumb Fries?! Hmm . . .
I told him that I actually have heard of it before because I have family/friends in Virginia. Though I went on to explain that I believed the town was called Dumfries, which was pronounced dumb frees and not dumb fries. He confessed that he knew how to say it correctly, but he enjoyed saying it wrong because it sounded more silly.
And then I got an idea . . .
After our speech therapy session was over, I jumped onto the Internet to see if I could discover any other town names that might sound a bit odd or funny. I figured that since he got a real kick out of the name Dumfries, maybe I could search Google and collect a few other odd/funny town names to share next time. Heck, maybe I could even grab some names that contained his specific articulation sound.
Boy, I hit the jackpot!
I didn't have to look very hard at all because a simple Google search introduced me to numerous websites that have already created detailed lists of silly town names for the world to see. They already did all the heavy lifting! Phew, thank goodness for that. Haha!
This link right here was, hands down, my favorite collection. It contains a crazy long list of unusual names of towns in the United States. Have you ever heard of Bacon, Texas? Or how about Cheddar, South Carolina? Or maybe Pancake, Pennsylvania? (Can you hear my tummy rumbling? Yum!)
Lots and hilarious towns with the /S/ sound, too!
This particular student was working on perfecting his /S/ sound, so I took the opportunity to collect the following town names for he and I to practice:
- Squirrel Town, Ohio
- Shoofly, North Carolina
- Spider, Kentucky
- Spiderweb, South Carolina
- Santa Claus, Arizona
- Snowball, Arkansas
- Soda Bay, California
- Spoonville, Connecticut
- Sandwich, Illinois
- Skunk River, Iowa
Improve language abilities, too!
Not only did we work on using all of our /S/ techniques while saying these town names, I also asked this thought-provoking WH question with each new name . . .
How do you think this town got its name?
You can imagine the terrific responses I got from him. He told many adventurous tales WHILE remembering his great /S/ sound. Now if that isn't a successful artic session, I just don't know what is! He loved hearing the town names that I collected and that made me cheer with joy.
In closing . . .
I invite you to somehow introduce odd town names into an upcoming speech therapy session. I'm sure that the massive list I used will inspire you to create some sort of speech therapy idea that revolves around chattin' about town names. Give it some thought, and as always, please let me know what you come up with. There's nothing I like more than hearing from amazing speech-language pathologists like you!

We also grow acres of veggies that we used to call, "beyond organic." What we meant was that we use no chemicals on our land...just lime and manure. But recently a feller named Don Persons of the Baystate Organic Certifiers (email@example.com, 845-542-7300) informed us that it is illegal for us to use the word "organic" at all. He says that to even say we are "beyond organic" implies that we are "organic." Nincompoop logic! We are NOT organic and would never want to suggest that we are. When the USDA says that "organic" farms may use all these chemicals, we are definitely NOT organic. Just to be clear. There are a growing number of healthy veggie and meat options in Massachusetts. So why choose John Crow Farm? Because we are committed to farming practices that care for our animals and for the land. Because every product you eat from our farm has been raised and tended by hand. Because we provide high quality, nutritious food while being caring stewards of New England land and our community. From years of experience, we know that hand-grown vegetables and pastured meat tastes much better than the commercially produced equivalents. They are darn sure healthier for you. Our meat is grown locally, processed locally, then vacuum-packed and frozen. Within hours the product is in your hands.

1. JMeter requires Java1.5 and above. So first make sure that your machine has the same version of java.
Most probably this might be the issue.
2. The other thing might be the environment variable path for java might be wrong. I am not sure how it is maintained in Linux environment.

The Measurement and Behavior of Uncertainty: Evidence from the ECB Survey of Professional Forecasters |
December 2012 Number 588 |
JEL classification: C10, C83, D84 |
Authors: Robert Rich, Joseph Song, and Joseph Tracy We use matched point and density forecasts of output growth and inflation from the ECB Survey of Professional Forecasters to derive measures of forecast uncertainty, forecast dispersion, and forecast accuracy. We construct uncertainty measures from aggregate density functions as well as from individual histograms. The uncertainty measures display countercyclical behavior, and there is evidence of increased uncertainty for output growth and inflation since 2007. The results also indicate that uncertainty displays a very weak relationship with forecast dispersion, corroborating the findings of other recent studies indicating that disagreement is not a valid proxy for uncertainty. In addition, we find no correspondence between movements in uncertainty and predictive accuracy, suggesting that time-varying conditional variance estimates may not provide a reliable proxy for uncertainty. Last, using a regression equation that can be interpreted as a (G)ARCH-M-type model, we find limited evidence of linkages between uncertainty and levels of inflation and output growth.

When Justin Bieber's in trouble -- and he's in a ton of it right now -- his go-to person is still ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez ... cause he paid her a quick visit Wednesday afternoon.
Justin's chauffeur-driven party van was spotted parked behind the gates of Selena's driveway for more than an hour. The exes reportedly left her home separately.
Selena's home isn't too far from Bieber's Calabasas house ... where a neighbor says Justin spit on him during an argument.
As we first reported ... the neighbor has filed a battery report against Bieber and wants to see him prosecuted for the incident.
Hmm ... wonder what Justin and Selena talked about?
Someone is obviously running from his troubles. He knows whats coming to him. Might as well have some comfort I guess.
It's funny how the articles that pertain to Justin Bieber are always the ones that are Most Commented. Yet he's probably the most hated celebrity of all time….. If he's a douche, punk, spoiled brat, ghetto trash etc. why give him your time of day right? but instead the people that hate him take it to a level of obsession that is probably equal to his fans. Lets face it, he might have a lot of fans but he has just as many people that hate him as well. Which is a DOUBLE bonus for the media! Think about it, TMZ can post whatever they want on here and obviously want to make money, so they'll post anything that'll bring controversy. Then come the ignorant people that believe everything because they are so gullible and give them tons of page views.. I'm not writing this because I'm a fan but because it sickens me to see all the hate that is stirred up by every move this kid makes. With everything that is going on in this world, I dont see how his actions affect someone's personal life. The funny part is, the more people hate him the more relevant he becomes. People said he would be gone within the first year of his career. Four years later, he is still here and even bigger. I honestly dont think he's going anywhere for a while either. The point is, just stop hating. Its not doing anything. Like they say, There's no such thing as bad publicity. Bad publicity is still publicity.
She keeps him grounded and knows "the real" him ... You know the one who didn't have anything to prove?!!

Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, Director of the Facial Paralysis Institute in Beverly Hills, discusses the causes of Bells palsy, facial paralysis, and the best treatment options.
Beverly Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 14, 2014
Today Dr. Babak Azizzadeh of the Facial Paralysis Institute in Beverly Hills responded to the recent news that Ironman competitor Josh Minogue is suffering from facial paralysis from Bells palsy. The 26-year-old athlete initially thought he was having a stroke but then was subsequently diagnosed with Bells palsy. Bells palsy is a disorder that can cause facial paralysis due to swelling of the nerves that control the muscles that control facial movement. Minogue is currently taking medication and said that it's one of those things where I just have to wait it out and hope it gets better."
Its important to diagnose Bell's palsy as early as possible and start treating the condition with steroids and antiviral therapy under the supervision of a medical professional, Dr. Azizzadeh explained. If symptoms do not resolve within 12 weeks, then a facial nerve expert should be consulted.
Facial paralysis may be caused by a physical accident that produces temporal bone trauma, but a Bells palsy diagnosis is exclusively attributed to a viral inflammation. Recent research has shown that Bells palsy occurs when a virus (herpes simplex virus, HSV) gets reactivated in the bone behind the ear (temporal bone.) When the nerve gets reactivated and swollen, it ends up causing the nerve to essentially shut down.
Josh commented that half of his face looks like it has had Botox, which is interesting because Botox is actually an effective treatment options for those who suffer from Bells palsy, partial facial paralysis, or synkinesis, Dr. Azizzadeh said. The injections facilitate facial symmetry and can be used in conjunction with neuromuscular retraining to improve facial movement.
Botox is a protein derived from botulinum toxin. It relaxes unwanted muscle movements and reduces tension in areas of the face that are hyperactive due to synkinesis. Treatment will depend on the level of facial paralysis and synkinesis, as well as a patients specific desires.
If it is determined that surgery is the best option for a patient, selective neurolysis is the most advanced option, Dr. Azizzadeh said. The procedure releases the muscle that prevents an upward smile motion and reducing the actions of the nerves that are blocking the smile mechanism.
Since his extensive and prestigious training at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Azizzadeh has helped hundreds of people with varying degrees of facial paralysis. Dr. Azizzadeh is the director of the Facial Paralysis Institute and one of the leading figures in the field of Facial Nerve Paralysis. Dr. Azizzadeh has been recognized for his work on several occasions, and has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and countless other media outlets.
Dr. Azizzadeh is trained in Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, as well as Head & Neck Surgery, giving him a distinctive insight into facial nerve function and facial aesthetics. Dr. Azizzadeh also has extensive training in microsurgical facial reconstruction, which is often required for the treatment of people who are born with facial paralysis.

I've recently been trying out Strava. Strava is a cool social app that uses GPS and other data collected during activities such as cycling and running from all kinds of devices. There's a Strava website where you can search for an follow other Strava users, keep track of their activities, compare your times with others users over the same routes, and monitor your improvement. Most Strava users seem to use it for cycling stats. Strava has apps for the Apple iPhone and Android mobile devices, so it's dead easy to keep track of your activities and share them online. Alternatively you can upload your workout activity data from a Garmin device as I do. Strava has some neat features such as league tables to record who is the fastest over a route, and some important security features to hide locations like your place of work and home from other Strava users.
Strava have kindly provided a couple of widgets you can use to display your activity stats in a webpage. Here's one showing the my most recent workouts.

Before trying out Strava I'd been using Garmin Connect, which is a similar website-based tool for uploading, tracking and sharing activity stats. Garmin Connect does have good support for analysis of stats though it also currently lacks the social featues of Strava, which can be frustrating. I really like the comprehensive stats available to me in Garmin Connect but the extra social features make the Strava experience richer and more interesting. I'm definitely hooked.

Then one day I started to think about Google Car and I realized that the "killer app" for Google Car isn't as a car, it's as a truck. I agree it won't happen overnight, but it will happen. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are almost 800,000 big rig truck drivers at $40,000/yr in the US. (2012 data) Another 40,000 drive delivery trucks. Politics are the only thing that will save it. It's too large a cohort of workers. I look at the the NAFTA provisions for Mexican drivers to operate in the US that haven't been implemented as evidence that Congress will discourage their adoption.

Amusingly (to me anyway) I called it a fever, that word just popped in and I went with it. If I may expand on my nine second sound bite...
These short manias happen from time to time. I brought up the example of Comparator Systems from the mid 1990s another one from roughly the same time was Andrea Electronics, there have others before and more importantly there will be others in the future.
Michael Kahn mentioned the current episode in Barrons yesterday.
This is one of many behaviors that repeat over and over in the market, that is just how it is. My comments in the segment were essentially if you want to go for it go ahead, people are making money for now and at some point it will end one way or another and the last buyer will be out of luck.
Thinking of this sort of speculation as bad or good is probably the wrong way to look at it. It certainly may not be your type of trade, it is unambiguously not my trade, but this sort of thing comes along every so often, some people make money, some lose money and then it peters out at some point.
If people want to speculate that is fine of course save for the occasional person who does not realize what is going on which is a great stresser for why it is crucial to understand what you are buying.
In terms of any implications for the bigger picture I think of big speculative manias as being warning signs. The widespread willingness to gamble in this sort of manner strikes me as being emblematic of tops be they intermediate or something else. I should say that I have not researched this and so the data could easily prove me wrong but the occasional contrarian within leads me to want to lean a little the other way.

I wonder if this is really "widespread" gambling or just a bunch of the hot money hedgies all rushing into the same few stocks. John Paulson was fabulously successful shorting them on the way down and is now going long. I'll bet lots of his competitors are trying to ride on his coattails, but John Q. Public...?
It doesn't change your point, of course, and probably means even greater volatility as they all hover around the sell buttons on their computers and try to game September. - 5:53 AM

Good post. These spasms are always interesting one way or another, although it seems a high percentage end in tears sooner rather than later.
The statement, "save for the occasional person who does not realize what is going on," sticks out, since what usually characterizes situations like these is that people rush to the action and very many don't realize what is really going on. - 6:07 AM

There are times when being an observer of the market is a better idea than fully participating.
I think now is one of those "times".

Speaking of fevers: FT reported yesterday that junk bonds are up 40 percent, topping previous record of 39 percent in '91.
So natch, a whole lot more product is going to be shoveled out the door after Labor Day.
Nothing like a little junk to spark a portfolio. You betcha.

Don't be used by CNBC anymore. I enjoy your blog, have for some time,read you every day. Much concurrence!
You go on tv to talk value and they
turn it into trash about the unusual volume in trash stocks. As far as tv is concerned, be anonymous. CNBC is all hype, a GE
organ and GE is an organ for Obama.
Here's to better values!

James Burton, 54, of Litchfield, was arrested in 2010 after Watertown and Waterbury police learned that Burton had fondled the boy on several occasions. One of the sexual assaults alleged by the boy occurred in the bathroom at the Brass Mill Center mall.

Intense brick red in color with youthful crimson hues, the 2008 Killerman's Run Shiraz has rich notes of plums and dark chocolate that overwhelm the nose, supported by spicy oak char. The palate is beautifully rounded and flavored. Sweet plum fruits and chocolate characters carry over from the nose, with spicy oak notes and gentle tannins lending length and complexity. This wine has both power and finesse that showcases the appeal of Australian Shiraz - richly fruit driven, balanced and powerful.

A speedier alternative to the classic roast turkey, this recipe calls for the bird to be flattened for an ultrafast roasting time of 45 minutes. It may not look like the usual Thanksgiving bird when you put it on the table (reserve it for a more nontradition-bound crowd), but it comes out juicy and with a crisp skin.
Reprinted from How to Cook Everything, Tenth Anniversary Edition by Mark Bittman. Copyright © 2008 by Double B Publishing, Inc. With permission of the publisher, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. This recipe is from O's Thanksgiving menu. Servings: Serves at least 10
Preheat oven to 450°. Put turkey on a stable cutting board, breast side down, and cut out the backbone. Turn bird over and press on it to flatten. Put it breast side up in a roasting pan that will accommodate it (a slightly snug fit is okay). The wings should partially cover the breasts, and the legs should protrude.
Tuck garlic and herbs under bird and in nooks of wings and legs. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, undisturbed. By then, the bird should be browning; remove from oven, baste with pan juices, and return to oven. Reduce heat to 400° (or 350° if it seems to be browning very quickly). Begin to check the bird's temperature about 15 minutes later (10 minutes if the bird is on the small side). It is done when the thigh meat measures 155° to 165° on an instant-read meat thermometer; check it in a couple of places. Expect a 12-pound bird to cook longer, around a half hour. Let the bird rest for a few minutes before carving, then serve with pan juices and garlic cloves. (Or make turkey gravy.) From the November 2008 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

More copies of this ISBNReality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth about Guilty Pleasure TVby Jennifer Pozner
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:Nearly every night on every major network, unscripted" (but carefully crafted) reality" TV shows routinely glorify retrograde stereotypes that most people would assume got left behind 35 years ago. In Reality Bites Back, media critic Jennifer L. Pozner aims a critical, analytical lens at a trend most people dismiss as harmless fluff. She deconstructs reality TVs twisted fairytales to demonstrate that far from being simple guilty pleasures," these programs are actually guilty of fomenting gender-war ideology and significantly affecting the intellectual and political development of this generations young viewers. She lays out the cultural biases promoted by reality TV about gender, race, class, sexuality, and consumerism, and explores how those biases shape and reflect our cultural perceptions of who we are, what were valued for, and what we should view as our place" in society. Smart and informative, Reality Bites Back arms readers with the tools they need to understand and challenge the stereotypes reality TV reinforces and, ultimately, to demand accountability from the corporations responsible for this contemporary cultural attack on three decades of feminist progress. Synopsis:Media critic Pozner deconstructs reality TV's twisted fairytales to demonstrate that far from being simple "guilty pleasures," these programs are actually guilty of fomenting gender-war ideology and significantly affecting the intellectual and political development of this generation's young viewers.

[JURIST] A judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice [court website] Monday sentenced two men previously convicted in connection with the failed "Toronto 18" [Toronto Star backgrounder] terrorist plot. Alleged plot leader Zakaria Amara was sentenced to life in prison, while Saad Gaya [JURIST commentary] was sentenced to a 12-year prison term. Amara and Gaya were two of 18 men arrested in 2006 in connection with a plan to destroy the Toronto Stock Exchange, an Ontario military base and offices of the Canadian spy agency. Alleged co-conspirator Shareef Abdelhaleem [JURIST report] meanwhile pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges Monday. Abdelhaleem was the first adult to be tried among the "Toronto 18" originally arrested and charged under Section 83 [Canadian DOJ backgrounder] of the Anti-Terrorism Act [text], Canada's post-9/11 legislation. Five more members of the group face trial in March.
[JURIST] A Spanish foreign ministry official confirmed Monday that Spain will be accepting two detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. One of the detainees is said to be [AP report] of Yemeni origin, while the nationality of the other was not released. Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos [official profile] said [AP report] last week that an agreement between Spain and the US was close to completion in anticipation of the transfer. The detainees are expected to be transferred to Spain over the next few weeks. Spain is the most recent in a string of countries worldwide that have agreed to take in detainees from Guantanamo Bay, as the US administration attempts to empty the facility. Last month, Switzerland agreed [JURIST report] to take one Uzbek detainee, and has expressed willingness [JURIST report] to take two more. Also last month, 12 more detainees were transferred to their home governments, and detainees were transferred to Palau, Kuwait, and several European countries [JURIST reports].The transfer to Spain comes at the request of the Obama administration, which initially requested [France 24 report] that Spain take as many as four detainees last June as part of the administration's plan to close the facility. Closure was initially due by January 22, 2010, but President Obama recently confirmed [NYT report] that this deadline would not be met. The administration has run into several hurdles in closing the prison, including opposition from members of Congress and the suspension of detainee transfers to Yemen [JURIST report]. In November, the Center for American Progress [advocacy website] issued a report [JURIST report] blaming missteps by the Obama administration for the delay.
[JURIST] Arguments began Monday before Myanmar's Supreme Court in the latest appeal by Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi [BBC profile; JURIST news archive]. Suu Kyi's appeal contests an 18-month extension to her house arrest [JURIST report] that was imposed by a lower court in August. Suu Kyi's lawyer, Nyan Win, has stated that the extension to Suu Kyi's arrest is based on provisions of the now-defunct 1974 constitution. Suu Kyi's detention to her compound in Yangon will prohibit her from competing in this year's elections [BBC report] as a member of her National League for Democracy (NLD) [official website] party. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling in Suu Kyi's case soon. The timing of Suu Kyi's trial coincides with government action against US citizen Nyi Nyi Aung [Freedom Now profile], who was charged [JURIST report] in early January with forgery and violating Myanmar's foreign currency act. Suu Kyi's hearing date was scheduled the same day Aung was charged. The Myanmar Supreme Court agreed to hear Suu Kyi's case in December after an unsuccessful October appeal [JURIST report] to the Divisional Court in Rangoon. In addition to rejecting the appeal, the lower court ruled that Suu Kyi herself would be barred [JURIST report] from attending the proceedings. Suu Kyi, who has been in prison or under house arrest for 14 of the past 20 years, was found to have violated the military junta's state security laws after John Yettaw [JURIST report], an uninvited American, swam across a lake to her home in May 2009.
[JURIST] Local police struggled to maintain law and order in Haiti while awaiting the deployment of more US troops on Monday, as looting and vigilantism rose among increasingly desperate and frustrated survivors of the earthquake that struck the country last week. The troops arriving Monday are part of a 5,700-strong US contingent expected to arrive [Telegraph report] by the end of the week to assist the 3,000 police and international peacekeepers deployed to secure the airport, port, and main buildings. Incidents of looting and violence have been on the rise [NYT report], and the reported lynching of one suspected looter along with shootings Sunday have led to an increase in the number of UN peacekeepers patrolling the streets. The country's legal system and government are largely non-operational [France 24 report] in the wake of the disaster. More than 100 US troops landed [New York Post report] in Haiti on Friday, distributing supplies to survivors. The UN Stabilization Mission in Haiti [official website] has said that up to 50% of buildings [statement, PDF] have been destroyed or damaged, including the presidential palace, the UN Mission headquarters, and the main prison, allowing nearly 4,000 inmates to escape [JURIST report]. On January 12, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake [USGS backgrounder] caused massive damage to property and infrastructure in Haiti. Haitian government officials estimate [Al Jazeera report] the death toll to be as high as 100,000 to 200,000. More than 70,000 bodies have been buried since the earthquake hit. Haitian nationals already present in the US on January 12 have been granted Temporary Protected Status [JURIST report] and will be allowed to continue living and working in the US for the next 18 months regardless of their immigration status.

You are a victim of the fight between competing economic theories: Should governments spend more or should they reduce their debts?
While you may view this fight as the old political dialectic between Republicans ("less government") and Democrats ("more government"), the competition is global. The outcome of this struggle will affect everybody worldwide. How the struggle is resolved in the U.S. alone will not predict the outcome for Americans.
One theory holds that we — Americans, Europeans, Chinese — should spend our way out of the present recession and economic malaise, even at the cost of incurring additional debt. The only way to dispel the malaise and stimulate the economy is for the government to spend, whether through extended unemployment benefits or public-works projects on infrastructure. The last round of stimulus spending prevented a collapse but barely put us back on course.
The other theory holds that government overspending is reckless, gives excessive power to the government and is unproductive. The increased debt burden from deficit spending becomes a tax on the future and future generations, leading to more government control.
To reduce government deficits now, without taxation, programs would have to be cut. Most people can clearly see that a cutback in government spending will only exacerbate the malaise now and further impede any potential recovery.
Up until recently, the theory of stimulus spending has held sway in the U.S. But we Americans appear to have reached a stalemate over added stimulus and have resisted extending unemployment benefits. Alternatively, many members of the European Union have adopted the more restrictive policy of cutting programs back to cut deficits.
If you are an investor, Europe looks like a no-growth place in the near term and the U.S. a slow-growth place. As an investor, you have to wonder why all of the hundreds of billions of dollars sitting in private hands and private corporations are not being put to use. Or why governments are not providing special incentives to free all of this unproductive capital.
Some of this unproductive cash is being revealed now as private corporations report their second-quarter earnings. Ironically, some of those cash-rich balance sheets will prompt a rise in share prices. But what we need are good reasons for corporations to invest.
Our research reveals that the economies or countries where public and private capital is being invested well are Canada, Brazil, China and Turkey. Those are small engines in the overall global economy. Until some of the larger global economic engines spend more, either publicly or privately, this recession could drag on for most of us. Accordingly, our investment choices may be limited to fewer opportunities.
