- How to Read a Study Record
There are two types of external radiation treatments (proton beam and photon beam). As part of the participant's treatment, they will receive radiation to the entire central nervous system (CNS); this is known as craniospinal irradiation (CSI). In the past, photon radiation therapy has been used for CSI. In this study we will be examining the effects of proton beam radiation therapy. Studies have suggested that this kind of radiation can cause less damage to normal tissue than photon radiation therapy. The physical characteristics of proton beam radiation let the doctor safely deliver the amount of radiation delivered to the tumor that is normally delivered through standard therapy but spare more normal tissue in the process.

Estimated Primary Completion Date: | April 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Radiation: proton beam radiation
- Before beginning radiation therapy, participants will have scans done in order to prepare for the radiation treatment. Doctors will use information gathered from these scans to plan the best way to deliver radiation to the tumor.
- The following procedures will be performed either before or during the radiotherapy: Hearing exam; neurocognitive exam; blood tests and cerebral spinal fluid test.
- Not everyone who participates in this study will receive the same amount of proton radiation therapy. The length of time and amount of radiation received will depend upon the condition of the participant's disease. Radiation treatment will be given once a day, 5 days a week (Monday-Friday). The overall treatment course will be approximately 6 weeks.

Welcome to my JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes team page! My team (GT1 = Grace Type 1) will be walking on October 19th in an effort to raise money to fight for a cure!
As many of you know, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in January 2012, right after my 8th birthday. In those first few days at the hospital, I didn't know how this would affect my life. I had no idea. I wasn't sure if I would still be able to do the things I love, like being on the swim team, participating in youth triathlon, riding my bike, playing with my friends or just being a normal kid at school.
Thankfully, I was able to keep doing everything I love. But not without a lot of effort. I have to do finger sticks to check my blood sugar about 10 times a day. I wear an insulin pump....all day, every day! I have to count the carbs in every bite of food I eat. I have to go the nurse several times a day when I'm at school....and I can never leave my house or be without my meter, testing supplies or emergency sugar! I need to be prepared all the time.
Right now, there is no cure for Type 1 Diabetes. But someday, I hope to be able to say that I used to have diabetes! JDRF is the only global organization with a strategic research plan to fight T1D. Every dollar JDRF is able to direct toward research comes from donors like you.
The challenge we've set ourselves - to raise money for JDRF and to walk - is modest compared to the daily challenges of life with T1D, which involves a 24/7, unrelenting cycle of blood sugar testing and insulin injections to manage the disease.
Will you accept the challenge to make a difference by walking with us and helping raise money for my team? Or make a donation? No amount is too small (or too large!)
Thank you for your support.

What do you think? Discuss this article...
Chip…chip…chip…chip The sound of our rights and liberties slowly and methodically being chipped away until there is no public venue at which we can exercise our freedom of speech! "Shut up…sit down…we, the government, know what's best for you! We are doing this for your own good!" chip…chip….chip…..chip
Three years before the Republican Convention and three miles south of Penn Station, two skyscrapers exploded in fire and collapsed to the ground, on September 11th. Since then, Penn Station has been a prime target for terrorists. On any given day, droves of armed police patrol the many transportation levels. On days of high alert fully armed soldiers (armed with machine guns) patrol the transportation hub. Thousands use the many rail lines that go through there.
What is the price of safety? Is it liberty? Does this case represent a loss of liberty? Is the government willy nilly restricting us? I don't have all the answers. But I can tell you that I was a commuter through Penn Station in 2004, and was relieved the crowds of demonstrators were kept at a distance. It was downright scarey. I avoided Penn Station whenever I could, as seeing all the armed police and soldiers made me scared. Not of them — of the possibility they'd have to use their arms on our behalf because of a terrorist attack. I preferred to use less populated spots when I could. (Terrorists seem to like targets of significence.)
I can't give you a full reply about liberty. But I can tell you there are two sides to the coin regarding this question.
@Ann Matos,
"Since then, Penn Station has been a prime target for terrorists"
Wow. Did you actually see any?
"But I can tell you there are two sides to the coin regarding this question."
Absolutely, but if you open your eyes just a bit, it becomes obvious that both sides are staffed by the same characters.
We either have, or do not have free speach. America was, and is built with FREE SPEACH and the right of people to peaceably assemble.
So important is free speach, that it was spelled out in the first amendment of our Constution.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Freedom is often inconvenient. Ask anyone who has a family member in our armed service, or who died defending free speach.

Joba curiously reopens starting controversy

07:58 AM ET 02.27 | While Joba Chamberlain's motivations weren't quite clear, he knew that what he was about to say would make headlines. Whatever the reason, Chamberlain chose the visitors clubhouse at Bright House Field as his pulpit Tuesday afternoon, when he declared himself still capable of succeeding in the major leagues as a starter. ... "This is probably going to spark a bunch of stuff," he said, before plowing ahead. "It's like: Do you think you have the capability to start? Yes," he said after throwing a scoreless inning in a 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday. "Do I have four pitches that I can throw for a strike? Yes. Do I have two plus pitches that I can throw from the bullpen at any time? Yes."
Do I salivate when looking at the buffet table? Yes.

He was asked a question, and, for better or worse, he answered it. It woudl help if he answered it with a base of reality instead of wishes and hopes for what might have been. He is not a starter, and, almost everyone from the Yankees brain trust to the basic fan on the street believes that.
Plus the numebrs overwelmingly say he is a reliever and not a starter.
Girardi: "I'd like to catch another game, too."
Cashman: We're down an outfield bat right now, too. See if he can play center or not."

I think he has visions of dollar signs dancing in his head.
Run of the mill starters can make on the average about 4 or 5 time what run of the mill relievers do. For example Phil Hughes makes $7.15 mil and Joba Chamberlain makes $1.875 mil.
Joba may want starter money but the problem is to get the money you need to do the job. And I reiterate: Joba ain't a starter.

Legend: A wife takes revenge on her philandering husband by supergluing his penis to his leg.
Origins: This tale of a gal taking revenge on an unfaithful mate is unusual in its violence. In most legends of this type, the woman achieves retribution through simple and non-physical (but effective) means, such as leaving a telephone off the hook to run up the bill or selling her spouse's beloved automobile for a pittance. In this case, although the deed is accomplished with a minimum of effort, it is nevertheless an act of extreme violence against the male, emasculating him both symbolically and Although this story has frequently been reported as true in the media and has existed as a legend since at least 1980, we know of no verified cases of superglued penes occurring before 2000. That year saw two such cases. On 7 May 2000, Gail O'Toole of Murrysville, PA, treated ex-boyfriend Kenneth Slaby of Pittsburgh (who had begun dating someone else subsequent to their Kenneth Slaby later filed a civil suit against his former girlfriend seeking compensation for his pain, suffering and emotional distress. Despite the assertion of O'Toole's attorney that the incident was "nothing more than part of the couple's adventurous, consensual sex," the jury found in Slaby's favor on In another act of vengeance by superglue, on "She knew I was a dog and she found out I was fooling around on her, but it shouldn't have come down to that," said the victim. "She could've just slapped me or something." The girl was charged by authorities with simple assault, and the couple is no longer together. In July 2009, a Wisconsin man was lured to a hotel with a promise of a massage by one of the many women he'd met online and was committing adultery with. Once that gal had him blindfolded and tied up, she texted two of the others he was seeing, and they glued his penis to his stomach. The trio had been tipped to their boyfriend's additional romantic activities by the man's wife, who had contacted each of them, informing them the man was married with children and "seeing other women and using them for money." Charges were laid against each of the four. Prior to these ostensive acts (a folkloric term for a pre-existing legend coming true in real life), a prominent rumor in the early 1990s proclaimed that actress Sean Young pulled this stunt during her acrimonious breakup with actor James Woods, but the story (possibly started by Woods himself) had no basis in fact. Also a man who appeared on Jenny Jones' TV show in 1994 with the wife he claimed had visited the same punishment upon him turned out to be Alan Abel, an accomplished hoaxster whose previous victims included Phil Donahue and Sally Jesse Raphael. Sightings: This legend shows up as one of the tales the fellows tell each other in the 1992 film Reservoir Dogs.

Scientific Name: | Pinus echinata | |||
Species Authority: | Mill. | |||
Common Name/s:
Red List Category & Criteria: | Least Concern ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2013 |
Date Assessed: | 2011-03-23 |
Assessor/s: | Farjon, A. |
Reviewer/s: | Stritch, L. & Thomas, P. |
Justification: The very wide range and abundance of Pinus echinata, which is actually spreading into abandoned farmland, indicate an assessment of Least Concern. |
Range Description: | Recorded from eastern and southeastern USA; occurring across 22 states from New York to eastern Texas. |
Countries: | Native: United States (Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia) |
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | Subpopulations are thought to be increasing as this species recolonizes abandoned farmlands. |
Population Trend: | Increasing |
Habitat and Ecology: | Pinus echinata is a lowland pine with an extensive range across the SE United States, mostly growing from ca. 150 m up to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at ca. 600 m a.s.l. It is absent in the Mississippi Valley and its delta as well as in a narrow to fairly wide coastal strip along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, and it does not extend into most of Florida. This indicates that it is primarily limited by climatic factors, such as the 10º C average annual temperature isoline at its northern limit and an average annual precipitation above 1,000 mm distributed more or less evenly over a year as its southern limit. It grows on a great variety of soils, but most have a capacity for moist retention with a sandy loam or silty loam texture and good drainage. Although this species can form nearly pure stands, in most sites it will be succeeded by broadleaved trees especially oaks (Quercus spp.) except where thin soil overlies rock. There P. echinata forms a minor component of various angiosperm-dominated forest and woodland types. It can also be associated with P. taeda, which has a very similar distribution, but at least in parts of its range occurs in a wetter habitat. |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Major Threat(s): | There are no recorded threats to this species. |
Conservation Actions: | This species is known from several protected areas throughout its extensive range. |

NEW YORK Steel Dynamics Inc.s fourth-quarter net income more than doubled to nearly $60.6 million from $30.2 million a year earlier, primarily due to a strong performance by its metals recycling division and improved demand for steel sheet from automotive and manufacturing. But sales by the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based steel producer and metal recycler fell 8.3 percent to $1.71 billion from $1.86 billion as a result of weak long products shipments and lower overall steel metal spreads, the company said.
Improvements in sheet steel volumes balanced out the overall decrease in sales, chief executive officer Mark Millett said in a statement. "The fourth quarter was challenging on a number of fronts, but the team did a great job. Automotive and manufacturing provided improved sheet demand, while nonresidential construction remained weak."
Millett said the company was optimistic for 2013 due to improvements in the residential and nonresidential construction markets. "Recent housing starts data suggests potential improvements in residential construction, and there are areas across the U.S. indicating signs of strengthening in the nonresidential construction sector, although levels remain historically low," he said.
The company posted full-year net income of $163.6 million, down 41.2 percent from $278.1 million in 2011 on net sales that fell 8.8 percent to $7.29 billion from almost $8 billion.

"Diane often says that she's looking for a visceral experience with this show, and so it seems only natural. Circus is that," said Snider on accenting the musical with acrobatics. "When Pippin says, 'I want to be extraordinary,' and he sees people flipping over his head, we see it, too. We feel it, too. We want to jump, we want to leap, we want to fly, we want to run away and join the circus. It really lends to the storytelling of the show, and I think, in a very guttural way. The audience is just sitting there going, 'Huh! Oh my God, that was amazing. I want to do that!'"
Photo by Joseph Marzullo/WENN
As the cast and creative team members of the new Broadway production gathered uptown at the Manhattan Movement & Arts Center to present members of the press with a sneak peek of Pippin, it was evident that being "extraordinary" — the show's core and central theme, as expressed by Paulus — was not just a wish, but more of a matter of life and death.
"You know, every trick that you see in circus — it's all death-defying," said leading lady Miller. "They know that they can fail, but it's about wanting to do it. It's about going that far. How far will you go to do it and not be afraid of failure?"
"I think if Fosse was around to know that circus was being combined with his movement…he'd be really excited, and I'm certain he'd have some things to say about it, too!" added Matthew James Thomas, who plays the show's title character. "Chet is our Fosse. He's bringing everything from Fosse — from his memory of being in the original production of this show — and helping us realize it. I think we all feel that he is with us."

Paris hotel reviews: Over $200
9 cheap hotels in Paris reviewed by EuroCheapo (See more hotels in Paris by doing a CheapoSearch)
Sort By: Name Price User rating Most viewed
1Hôtel du Palais Bourbon
starAddress 49 rue de Bourgogne (7th: Eiffel Tower / Invalides)
The Palais Bourbon is an elegant three-star Parisian hotel with contemporary touches in the diplomatic quarter, just a few minutes from the Musée d'Orsay, Rodin Museum and Invalides.
2Hôtel Georgette
starAddress 36 Rue du Grenier St-Lazare (3rd/4th: Marais / Hôtel-de-Ville)
In its previous incarnation as the Hotel du Sejour Beaubourg, the Hotel Georgette was "budget boutique." As the Georgette, it's simply "boutique."
3Hôtel Original Paris
starAddress 8, Boulevard Beaumarchais (11th/12th: Bastille / Gare de Lyon)
Situated on the eastern border of the Marais just off Place de la Bastille, the two-star Hôtel Original Paris has been completely reborn as a design hotel... with rates to match.
4Hôtel Ecole Centrale
starAddress 3 rue bailly (3rd/4th: Marais / Hôtel-de-Ville)
Ideally located along the northwestern edge of the Marais, near the Musée des Arts et Métiers (one of our favorites), the three-star Hôtel Ecole Centrale glows with a holiday vibe.
5Hôtel Thérèse
starAddress 5-7 Rue Thérèse (1st: Châtelet / Palais Royale / Louvre)
The intimate three-star Thérèse offers boutique rooms with plenty of perks at a convenient spot between the Louvre and Opera. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as cheapo as it used to be.
6Hotel de la Tulipe
starAddress 33 Rue Malar (7th: Eiffel Tower / Invalides)
Located on a serene side street near the upscale shops of Rue St-Dominique and the popular Rue Cler market, the three-star Hotel de la Tulipe is a slice of Provence in the heart of Paris.
No online booking
Address 20 rue Berthollet (5th: Latin Quarter / Sorbonne)
Formerly the reasonably priced Hotel des Allies, Le Seven Hotel offers totally tricked out rooms at not-so-cheapo rates.
8Hotel Saint-Louis Marais
starAddress 17 rue du Petit Musc (3rd/4th: Marais / Hôtel-de-Ville)
Located one block from the Seine deep in the Old Marais, the Hotel Saint-Louis offers romantic rooms with wood beam ceilings at prices that usually run too high for us.
9Clos Notre Dame
starAddress 22 Rue de l'Hirondelle (6th: St. Germain des Prés / Luxembourg Gardens)
The three-star Close Notre Dame is the newly revamped Delhy's Hotel, a EuroCheapo pick for more than a decade. Unfortunately, the hip makeover raised the rates to a place that makes a Cheapo shudder.

Quote from JooterDoes armor defend against elemental damage?
The old attribute of "Defense" used to decrease ALL incoming damage, both magical and physical. "Armor" then took over the job that "Defense" used to have. Here is the info I have that supports this; From the Diablo Wiki:
1. Defense: http://www.diablowiki.net/Defense - "Defense was one of the core attributes for characters in Diablo III. It goverened the amount of damage the character took from all attacks, physical and magical"
2. Attribute Changes in 2012: http://www.diablowiki.net/Attributes - "+Armor and +Physical Resist is taking over for Defense"
So yes, AFAIK Armor does mitigate magical damage as well as physical damage.
Quote from KageKaze
I'm fairly certain that armor will not protect or will only partially protect from elemental or spell damage. This is the type of armor ignoring attack that was mentioned earlier (which seemed to be sadly laughed at). This is why you need to get vitality and elemental resistances. If you have high armor and low life then casters are going to kill you, fast.
I've seen nothing that suggests armor will have a diminished effect on magical attacks. Most skill runes seem to make the player choose between a small amount of armor, or a large amount of magical resist. Since magic is a very specific type if damage, it makes sense that the player is offered more resistance to it compared to the more broad "Resist All" effect of armor.
Example: War Cry - Choose between +20% armor or +50% resistance.
Based from the link you gave http://www.diablowiki.net/Defense
it says def, armor and resist are different.
But it also says this "Armor is taking over for what Defense used to provide" that means the damage protection for all type?
But then does that mean resistances became useless since I can just pump all into armor?
Then I assume enemies have that too. I think weapons that ignores armor just become very valuable. -
posted a message on +armor till I achieve the maximum damage reduction it can give then all will be on +vit.Posted in: Barbarian: Bastion's Keep
on that note does anyone know what armor value do I need to get the maximum damage reduction?
EDIT: Does armor defend against elemental damage? -
posted a message on hey that's a nice idea you have about the whirlwind+windshear+weaponmaster(mighty weapon) comboPosted in: Barbarian: Bastion's Keep
I made a build around that but added some more survivability and removed wotb
I saw here http://eu.battle.net...ctive/whirlwind that one cast of whirlwind is about 3 second carnage so 4 fury per hit sure is a lot. I think. I'm not sure how whirlwind works but thats what I see on the vid.
I just changed some runes for more survivability. Used REVEL for overpower and PROVOCATION for revenge.
I added LEAP just cause I like that skill ever since D2 lol and it added mobility to get in and out of crowds, And I used call of Arreat for it to act as crowd gatherer for more effective use of whirlwind and overpower.
And added warcry for even more defense and survivabilty
I wonder if fury gain is high enough for the berserker rage to kick in if not I would switch it out for tough as nails, superstition or bloodthirst depending on my gear. -
posted a message on Posted in: Barbarian: Bastion's KeepQuote from FistOfZakarum
Quote from DenkaSaeba25
If Overpower works like Revenge, which means that it can be macro-ed and used coupled with another ability, out of the swing timer, it suddenly becomes really invaluable.
If not, it depends on that "critical hits have a chance to lower the CD by 1 second"... if that chance is low, it may not be worth.
Well the way I see it, when using the crit rune on Overpower:
- Most of the damage done to a 'pack' of mobs should be done within 6 seconds any ways.
- During those 6 seconds there is a high chance you will reduce the cooldown on Overpower.
- The clean up on the rest of the pack and travel time to the next one will almost always surmount to it being available again.
Just my reasoning behind taking it.
So the overpower's "Landing a critical hit has a chance to lower the cooldown by 1 second" means any critical hit after using overpower and not only the overpower's direct hit?? -
posted a message on I have a build similar to this but I focus more on CC and having very high HPPosted in: Barbarian: Bastion's Keep
Frenzy(Smite) - Faster swing for more hits in while they're stunned
Seismic Slam(Stagger) or Weapon Throw(Hammer throw) - Long range stun and fury dump for those enemies that love to run away
Revenge(Provocation) - Like yours for healing and survivability
Warcry (Impunity) - Just cause I had bad experience on elemental damage from D2
Threatening Shout(Falter) or Ground Stomp(Wrenching Smash) - Ground stomp for more "come over here and stay here"
Leap(Death From above) - for the time you manage to get away or I stunned you with hammer throw or seismic slam
Nerves of steel, superstition, relentless - I don't know how superstition and relentless works but if they are additive that would be 70% reduced damage from elemental + the resist from impunity I may not have to worry about dying from elemental damage. With nerves of steel more hp means more armor. More hp means the relentless would activate on a safe HP value I suppose and if relentless activate spam all fury spender!
For PVE I think he might need more AOE damage? Or maybe the seismic slam is enough AOE? -
posted a message on Posted in: Barbarian: Bastion's KeepQuote from DenkaSaeba25
I'd go for something like this:
Active skills:
Ricochet WT for more no escape procs
Toppling Impact Leap and Bravado Ignore Pain for distance
Threatening Shout for drops (but it could be set up as additional attack speed/speed reducer)
Ancient Spear as additional fury gen, with the nice rage flip rune.
Ruthless and No Escape (obiouvsly) and Unforgiving for fury recovery.
This is an high level build, with some optional elements that will need to be tested but could work.
You're right I'm gonna use ricochet instead for more procs thanks!
I also have a different build for mf barb with hota and threaten that also have high crit -
posted a message on Posted in: Barbarian: Bastion's KeepQuote from Scyldragon
Quote from Jooter
@Scyldragon - I didn't see that... I guess its just a CHANCE to regain fury every crit. sad I thought it was constant.
Yeah, but we don't know the percentage. It can't be THAT low, or those abilties would be effin worthless. I still think it might be viable, but unless blizz releases some numbers I guess there's just trial and error left.
Quote from Jooter
Then again maybe this build would be more fun in co-op I could potentially stunlock stronger enemies. Assuming they're not immune to stun.
Possibly. Has anyone ever used that ability? Cause the reading is shifty on whether you actually do any damage with that hammer, or if it's only an attack with high stun percentage. 110% dmg and 75% stun for 10 rage sounds a bit too good, like something you could easily use in melee to stunlock enemies.
Maybe it's just 75% stun with no damage with that rune lol. I'm not sure but it would suck if it only have chance to stun like its just a waste of fury 1/4 of the time :/ If thats the case then I guess I have to use a different rune for it. But I would really like to try this build just for fun lol. -
posted a message on Thanks for the repliesPosted in: Barbarian: Bastion's Keep
@Scyldragon - I didn't see that... I guess its just a CHANCE to regain fury every crit. sad I thought it was constant.
@Gnarf - I thought I wouldn't need def that much since I won't be charging in the thick of things. But if I happen to get killed often in higher difficulties I guess I can change ruthless to tough as nails and start using Shields.
Then again maybe this build would be more fun in co-op I could potentially stunlock stronger enemies. Assuming they're not immune to stun. -
posted a message on http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian#fXkQiP!fZY!bcZZYcPosted in: Barbarian: Bastion's Keep
Is this build viable?
My main attack would be weapon throw first using Shout for some fury to spend then using Battle Rage and Overpower for some crit or maybe I can leap into a cluster of enemies and use overpower there. Then I will just attack with my weapon throw hoping for some crits to regain 29 fury.
Then if I have enough fury I would use wotb for more crit. Then hoping to maintain the berserk with my weapon throws.
It would be ideal to stay away from enemies using leap and attack from long range.
or am I hoping for too much crit for this build to be effective? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Florida is different from the rest of the United States. Weather changes are extreme: Zones 10 and 11 mean high heat and rain during the summer (May through September) and almost desert dryness in the winter (October through April). When most gardeners worry about the first frost, I plant tomatoes (setting them in peat moss to provide adequate moisture in our sandy soil). As northern gardeners put their beds to sleep, I clean out flowerbeds, mix in compost, and plant annuals. Winter days are shorter, cooler, and drier, so I move my orchids from shade into the sun. I trim and shape my mahogany trees and crotons after their frenzied growth during the hot, wet summer. And I mulch beds, not to ward off freezing and thawing, but to prevent water loss through the dry season ahead. About Memorial Day, when other gardeners enjoy the feel of newly turned earth, I'm shutting down. I pick the last of the tomatoes and pull out the annuals--very few can withstand a South Florida summer. Days are longer, hotter, and wetter, so I move all my orchids out of the sun and into a cool, shady spot. While northern gardeners excitedly plant new varieties, I trim back, clean beds, and fertilize so I won't have to go outdoors much in the heat to tend the yard. I trim trees for hurricane season and clear a spot in the house to bring in potted plants during hurricane warnings. Not only are the seasons reversed, many perennial plants are different, too. Epiphytic plants (plants that don't need to grow with their roots in the ground) do well in South Florida because they rarely get waterlogged. And they can pull adequate moisture from the air during the winter months, so they don't need constant watering. One of the most interesting and well-adapted native epiphytes is the resurrection fern (Polypodium polypodioides). It looks dry and crisp most of the time, but with a little rain the fronds uncurl and become bright green.
In our subtropical climate, you can hang orchids, bromeliads, and epiphytic ferns in your trees, feed them once a month, and call yourself a gardener! Among my orchids, cattleyas, lady of the night (Brassavola nodosa), moth orchids, and the lovely native butterfly orchid (Encyclia tampensis) bloom happily hanging on my fence or in my schefflera tree. Bromeliads such as urn plant (Aechmea fasciata), Guzmania spp., Neoregelia spp., and Vriesea spp. grow around the base of the tree, interspersed with whisk ferns (Psilotum spp.) and a native peperomia as ground covers. One terrific thing about these subtropical plants is that they live a long time and become old friends. I have a staghorn fern (Platycerium spp.) that I started on a coconut 27 years ago, and an oncidium orchid I got as a cutting about 15 years ago. So now, while most gardeners are taking a break from their garden tasks, I'm gearing up. And next spring, when others prepare for a new garden season, I'll be reading seed catalogs-and dreaming about my fall garden.

The Big Picture for the Week of February 5, 2012
About two months ago I posted about my belief that we could be in for a range busting rally. At 1344 the SPX is not there yet but is getting closer--to be clear I am thinking big rally that goes quite a bit higher but does not last. For now this theory is not yet wrong, it is too soon to say correct.
There are two points to this post. One is to clients that if big rally that then fails turns out to be correct then people will start to feel better and better about the market and their portfolios which might make it emotionally difficult if we do some selling at SPX 1500.
The other point is for readers who actively manage their portfolios. Chances are most active managers (including do it yourselfers) always have an opinion on the current state of the market and what might be coming next. The front end analysis in this equation is only part of the work. The back end execution, when you're right, and the ability recognize and adapt when you are wrong is probably more important.
Anyone who is even mediocre, which can absolutely be enough to get the job done successfully, will get some big calls correct.

For what it's worth, this has been a challenge for me as well. And I've been buying and selling for over ten years on my own. It took along time to get comfortable with a sell strategy on a stock that was rising.

I would be very interested on RR's ideas on when to sell. The only time I ever did any serious selling was during the crash of 08-09 when I sold a few ETFs to book the losses and immediately bought similar ETFs so I would not be out of the market and miss the sure-to-come bounce back. The strategy more or less worked and now have sufficient carry-forward losses to hopefully never pay another capital gains tax.

Any input on how hedge funds are performing during the recent rally? Seems that most funds have been getting crushed the last 6-8 months but I've heard funds have been grossing up net long over the last 2 months.

Roth IRA Conversion
by Wayne A. Thorp, CFA
In the November 2009 issue of the AAII Journal, Christine Fahlund of T. Rowe Price discussed the issues facing investors considering whether to convert their traditional IRA (Individual Retirement Account) into a Roth IRA in light of eligibility changes that will go into effect in 2010.
Roth IRA conversion carries with it several advantages, including:
Print this article
In this article
Share this article
- The ability to withdraw converted assets from a Roth IRA tax-free at any time;
- Any future earnings in the Roth IRA account are also tax-free (with some limitations); and
- Account holders are not required to take minimum distributions during retirement.
These benefits come at a cost—current taxes must be paid on the amount of your traditional IRA (earnings plus deductible contributions) converted to a Roth IRA.
In general, for those who expect their tax rate to increase, a Roth conversion could pay off in the long run. However, there are a number of considerations that can influence your decision to convert to a Roth IRA or not. These include:
- How long is it before you expect to start taking distributions?
- What do you expect your tax bracket to be in retirement?
Also, Dr. Fahlund recommends that any taxes incurred because of the conversion should be paid from a separate taxable account and not the IRA itself.
A Customized Scenario
Dr. Fahlund presented three different investor scenarios, with differing assumptions regarding years until retirement and current IRA holdings. However, there are additional variables that come into play when considering whether or not it is worthwhile to convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, such as tax brackets and rates of return.
If you are looking for a tool to help you decide whether to convert to a Roth IRA, we have created a Roth IRA Conversion Spreadsheet that you can download from the Computerized Investing Web site at www.aaii.com/ci/jan10/rothconvert.xls.
We modeled the spreadsheet after the tables in the article and the T. Rowe Price Roth IRA Conversion Worksheet, which is available for free from the T. Rowe Price Web site: http://individual.troweprice.com/staticFiles/Retail/Shared/PDFs/RothIRAConverstionWorksheet0514006wbi.pdf.
For a more detailed explanation of the Roth IRA conversion process, refer to Christine Fahlund's November 2009 AAII Journal article, "Retirement Plans: Evaluating the New Roth IRA Conversion Opportunity," which is available at AAII.com.
The Spreadsheet
'Figure 1. Inputs for Roth IRA Conversion Spreadsheet'
The spreadsheet is divided into two main areas—User Inputs and Conversion Analysis. Figure 1 shows the User Inputs section. [Note that some cells in the figure are hidden, as they do not require user entry. However, the spreadsheet you can download has no hidden cells.] The User Inputs section is where you enter in the data that drives the underlying calculations performed by the spreadsheet. The cells highlighted in yellow are those requiring user data entry, while the cells in blue show data calculations based on your inputs.
The User Inputs section is divided into three parts—Current IRA Holdings, Accumulation Period, and Distribution Period.
Current IRA Holdings
- The Total Value of Traditional IRAs is the amount of money you currently have in traditional IRAs that you wish to convert to a Roth IRA. In this example, we currently have $100,000 in a traditional IRA account. Note that we assume that no further contributions are made to the IRA account during the accumulation period.
- Basis Amount is the amount of any nondeductible contributions you have made to your traditional IRA, minus any nontaxable withdrawals. For more information on this, refer to IRS Form 8606 (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8606.pdf). In our example, we have not made any nondeductible contributions, so the basis amount is zero.
Accumulation Period
The inputs you provide in this section relate to the accumulation period—the period between when you start your IRA and when you begin to withdraw funds from your account.
- The Years of Accumulation are the number of years you expect to have your IRA before you begin withdrawals. In order to receive tax-free withdrawals, you must keep a Roth IRA for at least five years. Therefore, be sure to enter a number greater than or equal to five. In general, the farther away you are from making withdrawals from your IRA, the more advantageous it is to convert to a Roth IRA, as there is more time for the account to grow tax-free. For this example, we do not expect to begin making withdrawals for another 30 years.
- Rate of Return During Accumulation is the rate of return you expect to earn on your IRA assets during the accumulation period. The higher the rate, the more IRA assets you will have when you begin making withdrawals. However, it is important to be realistic in this assumption. Between 1945 and 2008, the annualized return in the S&P 500, adjusted for inflation, has been roughly 6.5%. We assume a rate of return of 8% during the accumulation period in this example.
- One of the deciding factors of whether to convert to a Roth IRA is your current tax situation relative to what you expect it to be when you begin withdrawing from your IRA account. The Accumulation Period Tax Rate is where you enter in your current marginal federal income tax rate. This is the tax rate on your last dollar of income and applies to your current federal income tax bracket. If you wish, you can also enter a combined state and/or local marginal tax rate, or you can enter zero for this amount. The amounts you enter for the federal and state/local tax rates are used within the spreadsheet to arrive at the Accumulation Period Effective Tax Rate, Accumulation Period Aftertax Rate, and Accumulation Period Aftertax Rate of Return. In Figure 1, these three values appear in blue cells, so you do not have to enter any values. The spreadsheet automatically calculates them based on your entries for the marginal tax rates. In this example, we assume a 33% federal marginal tax rate and a 5% state/local tax rate, giving us an effective tax rate of 36.35%.
Distribution Period
The inputs you provide in this section relate to the distribution period—the period during which you are withdrawing funds from your IRA account.
- Years of Distribution refers to the number of years you expect to withdraw from your IRA. This is influenced by your life expectancy and the age at which you expect to begin taking distributions. For our example, we expect to make withdrawals for 20 years.
- Rate of Return During Distribution is the annual rate of return you expect to earn on your IRA assets during the distribution period. If you want, you can use the same rate you used for the accumulation period. However, for our example, we expect to earn a lower return of 5% during the distribution period.
- Distribution Period Tax Rate refers to the marginal tax rate (or tax bracket) you expect when you begin making withdrawals from your IRA. If your tax rate drops significantly after retirement, there are potentially less benefits to converting to a Roth IRA, since you would be paying taxes on any earnings at a higher rate now. However, if you expect your tax rate to increase in retirement, conversion is attractive since taxes paid as a result of conversion would be paid at a lower rate, while withdrawals from a traditional IRA in retirement would be taxed at a potentially higher rate. Again, you also have the option of entering an expected state/local tax rate. These entries are used in the calculations for a distribution period effective tax rate, distribution period aftertax rate, and distribution period aftertax rate of return (not shown). For our example, we assume our federal tax rate will drop to 25%, while the state/local rate will remain at 5%, giving us an effective tax rate of 28.75% for the distribution period.
To Covert or Not to Convert?
Based on the assumptions you make when entering in the user inputs, the spreadsheet determines whether it is better to convert to a Roth IRA or to stick with the traditional Roth IRA. Figure 2 illustrates the spreadsheet output for determining the aftertax income from converting and not converting. However, this spreadsheet is intended to offer only general guidance. Be sure to consult your financial planner or accountant before converting to a Roth IRA.
'Figure 2. Roth IRA Conversion Spreadsheet Output'
The spreadsheet looks at the aftertax income generated by the traditional IRA and Roth IRA over the distribution period to determine which choice is optimal. In order to compare the withdrawals of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, we assume that the "conversion tax" paid when converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is invested in a taxable investment account. This takes the place of the taxes that would have been paid at the time of the conversion, and the taxes are eventually subtracted from the traditional IRA over the distribution period. Adding the aftertax payments (withdrawals) of the invested conversion tax savings to the aftertax withdrawals of the traditional IRA makes for a better comparison to the withdrawals of the Roth IRA, which are not taxable. In a departure from Dr. Fahlund's article in the AAII Journal, we assume that all of your IRA holdings are paid out over the distribution period. Furthermore, the distribution period payments are fixed, whereas the calculations in the Journal article assumed an annual increase in the payment.
Based on the assumptions used in our example, the Roth IRA would generate aftertax retirement income of $1.54 million, while the combined income from the traditional IRA and the invested conversion tax would be $1.43 million, for an aftertax advantage of over 7% with the Roth IRA conversion option.

Has anyone else experienced any of this...
Firstly, I have become ridiculously thirsty since starting bfl just over a week ago. usually I drink about 1.5l a day but I have found myself still being thirsty after 3litres! Strange thing is, im not going to the toilet as much as usual either so is all that water really in my muscles?
Also, I feel very light when im moving around. Lighheaded in a bad way isnt the word, just empty and airy almost. I also keep getting a rush through my veins during the day, almost like adrenaline (blood sugar maybe?). Not sure whether thats good or bad?? Could it be due to the drop in carbs?
Aside from all this though, I feel great, lots of energy, sleeping better etc. After first week I lost 4lbs, 1 inch off my waist, 0.5 inch off hips, 0.5 inch off arms and 1 inch off each thigh.
Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hiya angel!
Your are doing just fine. 1.5L of water is really wayyy under what you would need day to day anyways, so drinking more now is a very good thing! Lots of active people like to set the standard of water per day at around 1 gallon (about 3 3/4L.) Of course a lot of this has to do with the fact that you're pushing your body so hard, which makes you lose a lot more water than you'd think via sweat! So drink away!
And that light feeling you get? It's called eating clean and working out. That's just how it feels, you'll get used to it and want to have it all of the time :) As long as you're not always hungry or feeling low on energy, which are signs of not eating enough, sounds like you're doing fine.
Congrats on your results so far! Keep it up!
Are you taking any sort of supplements/fat burners?
thanks for the replies! Im not taking any supplements. would this make a difference?
Just make sure you're getting a fist-sized serving of carbs, and a palm size serving of protein at each of your six meals, per the program guidelines. You can take a supplement like a protein shake for one or two meals. Drinking 3 to 4 liters per day of water is a good thing. Feeling lighter is also good, in that your body is now ready for a more active lifestyle, and the more intense level of excercise you're doing. This will not feel weird afte a few weeks - it will feel very right and good. Humans weren't designed to overeat and lounge around doing nothing....we originated as hunter-gatherers.
Once I discovered the joys of weight training, all other passions were transcended.

On Tuesday night, the three major political parties all seemed to agree: it's time for comprehensive immigration reform. President Obama said so in his State of the Union address. Senator Marco Rubio said so in his tortured Republican response. Even Senator Rand Paul said so in the Tea Party's two cents' worth. Then, on Wednesday, Janet Napolitano, the Secretary of Homeland Security, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, making the case for reform legislation now. She got an earful from Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican, and John Cornyn, a Texas Republican. "I do not believe the border is secure," Cornyn said, and any reform discussion could wait, as far as he was concerned, until it was. "There's a lot of overconfidence about this bill," Sessions said. "It will not pass." Apparently these senators had not received the immigration unanimity memo.

The killing of Trayvon Martin nearly went down the memory hole. He had just turned seventeen when he was shot dead late last month in Sanford, Florida. His killer, a neighborhood-watch volunteer named George Zimmerman, was not even arrested. Zimmerman told the police that he had fired his nine-millimetre handgun in self-defense. The police actually knew better. They knew that Trayvon Martin had been unarmed. They knew that Zimmerman, who is twenty-eight, outweighed Martin by more than a hundred pounds. They knew, because Zimmerman had called them when he spotted a "black male" in a gated townhouse community, that Martin had been on foot while Zimmerman tracked him in his S.U.V., and that Zimmerman had ignored the police dispatcher's request that he stop following Martin. And yet self-defense is a potent claim under a 2005 Florida law known as "Stand Your Ground." "If we arrest, we open ourselves to a lawsuit," said Sergeant Dave Morgenstern, of the Sanford Police Department, presumably unaware of how pitiful (and pitiless) that sounded. Zimmerman wasn't even tested for drugs or alcohol. Those tests were conducted on Trayvon Martin's body, after he was sent to the medical examiner as a John Doe.
Tracy Martin, Trayvon's father, found him only after checking the local hospitals and reporting him missing. He and Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, in their grief, found the police unsympathetic and inert. It didn't seem to matter that Trayvon, a junior in high school, had no criminal record (Zimmerman, who was once arrested for assaulting a police officer, was described by the police as "squeaky clean"), or that Trayvon had simply been walking back to his father's fiancée's house from a convenience store, carrying Skittles and a can of iced tea. (Zimmerman had called the police forty-six times in fourteen months, most often to report a "suspicious" person.) Six different people had apparently called 911 to report the shooting. Could they at least hear the 911 tapes? No, the police said. Trayvon's parents hired lawyers and filed suit to gain access to the recordings. A witness said that police had questioned her account, with officers suggesting that she had heard Zimmerman, not Martin, crying for help. The N.A.A.C.P. and the A.C.L.U. got involved and, almost entirely because of the efforts of Trayvon's parents, the local press—Sanford is a suburb of Orlando—kept asking questions. But an online petition demanding Zimmerman's arrest languished, and the investigation seemed stalled at best.

Candidates on the Border
The Republican Presidential campaign has been a bruising race to the bottom on illegal immigration, with seemingly every humane or realistic suggestion provoking a pile-on. Even the mild-mannered Jon Huntsman called Rick Perry "treasonous" for noting that the border with Mexico cannot simply be fenced. Poor Perry: his problem seemed to be a Texan's familiarity with the actual border—its vastness, its complexity, the billions of dollars it will cost to maintain the hundreds of miles of fence already built (still covering less than a third of the border's length), and the pointlessness of building more in ever-tougher terrain. Perry's realism, and the glimmer of compassion he was willing to show—"If you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought here by no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart"—played a significant role in his fall from grace. And so he, too, joined the race to the bottom, seeking the endorsement of America's most notorious anti-illegal-immigration warrior, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and bringing him out on the campaign trail in Iowa.

Definition of curtilage in English:
Line breaks: cur¦til|agePronunciation: /ˈkəːt(ɪ)lɪdʒ
- An area of land attached to a house and forming one enclosure with it: the roads within the curtilage of the development siteMore example sentences
- The Inspector decided firstly that the second defendant could rely on a fall-back position, in that he was likely to erect a replacement building which would be within the agreed curtilage of the dwelling house.
- At best, it shows that the land was held for the prospect of future attachment; and, in any event, the putative buildings for County Council purposes on these areas would have produced a distinct curtilage or curtilages.
- It is in this sense that what this representation is is not only as to mean high-water mark, but it is saying something about a swimming pool and a brick house and it saying it is within the curtilage of the land.
Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French, variant of Old French courtillage, from courtil 'small court', from cort 'court'.

That is a great picture...I love the details. Get rid of the background shape, though. And you don't need text.
Mixtapes, skulls, and hearts all seem overdone, but somehow this shirt is still very cute. Especially the yellow one, I think the color freshens it up a bit.
It's funnier with text.
I think that if you're going to keep the devil on the design you should give it a body, too. That way it will fit with the picture better. And The guy's head looks oddly-shaped. Maybe give him smaller ears? Otherwise, I really like it.
If you keep the android in, make him look more like an android and draw in his whole body. The sheep are cute.

There was a survey done a few years ago asking men and women what was the one piece of electrical equipment that they couldn't live without. While we're not sure women these days would necessarily give the same answer (although, the virtues of the dishwasher remain indisputable) it probably comes as no surprise at all that most people can't live without their computers. From work to play and just about everything in-between, computers, laptops, notebooks and any number of handheld devices have become as much a part of our daily lives as cleaning our teeth. Of course, saving in our everyday life is what it's all about so you're going to love how many computer and electronic discounts you can find. The next time your computer crashes – stealing everything in your life in the process – is probably a good time to browse through our Dell voucher codes or, that must-have app that's just a little bit too much to justify? Maybe you can bring the cost down with a well-timed Apple voucher or two.
