Wedgewood vs. Vasilevski could be decisive battle
CALGARY Sweden spoiled the party. By defeating Russia 4-3 in overtime at the end of the preliminary round, it became impossible for Canada and Russia to meet in the gold-medal game this year, so fans have to have their dream finals a game early. Incredibly, eight of 19 previous meetings between the two countries (as Russia, not the Soviet Union) have been to decide gold, each side winning four. Here is a look at what to expect tonight for what should be another classic.
Canadas Scott Wedgewood and Russias Andrei Vasilevski have been great so far, Vasilevski at his best yesterday against the Czechs in the quarter-finals. Wedgewoods last game, New Years Eve versus the U.S., was also his best. Neither goalie has any experience at this level in this kind of game, so whichever goalie is able to keep his cool and make the key saves will likely be the winner.
Physical Play
Yesterdays incredible Russia-Czech Republic game was notable for two things great goaltending and a complete absence of physical play. The Russians had better be prepared to be hit every time they touch the puck because the Canadians will finish their checks and try to dominate using the body.
Both teams are 1-2 in power play and penalty killing, but both have also been prone to lazy and sloppy penalties. The team that stays out of the box will improve its chances for victory greatly as both teams have potent power plays. Canada has six goals on just 14 chances while Russia has five in 12.
Canadas defencemen are big, strong, fast. Russias defencemen are skilled and move the puck well. The biggest dilemma for both sides is to deal with speed. In Russias case, that speed will come off the rush. In Canadas case, it will be from puck possession in the offensive end.
Russian forwards always look so fast, their sweaters ballooning from the wind they whip up as they head up ice. But it is when they play as individuals that they are most easily defeated, as we have seen from captain and scoring leader Yevgeni Kuznetsov. He has played five games. In four, he has been close to invisible. In one, he tallied nine points. In truth, although he has the skills to win a game on his own, the more he tries as much the more Team Canada will be only too happy to shut him down. Canada has more balanced scoring and a more workmanlike effort that doesnt look as flashy but has been very effective.
Don Hay coached Canada to gold in 1995. Valeri Bragin coached Russia to 2011 gold and 2005 silver (losing to Canada). If Canada gets the lead and Hay has his team sit back, Russia will win the game no questions asked. Bragin has to prepare his team to take the man and expect to be taken, hit and be hit. Will either coach try to shut down the other teams big line by line matching? Canada is the home team and will have last change, so theres a slight advantage there. Slight.
The Crowd
There is no doubt Canada will be energized by the fans, but make no mistake so will the Russians. Historically Russia has played better in Canada than in Russia or any other country. Think 2011 World Juniors (Buffalo, but an almost entirely pro-Canada crowd), 2008 Worlds (Quebec City), 2003 World Juniors (Halifax), all the way back to the 1972 Summit Series. The crowd will be huge, noisy, intimidating, and a boon for both sides in, of course, very different ways.

One More Thought
And this from the it's an incredibly small world department; the guy whom I believe to be the head ETF honcho at State Street (I won't publish is name in case that is not kosher) was on my Babe Ruth baseball team 30 years ago and my Pop Warner football team before that.
His older brother actually coached the baseball team we were on together.
I've seen this guy once or twice before but never put it together until today.
We chatted for a few minutes in between sessions. Incredibly small world.

Roger- Since you are at an ETF conference what are your views on this recent quote by Swensen.... in today's WSJ referring the other institutions who use hedge funds and active management the following was quoted by Swensen:
Swensen: "A lot of institutions think they are emulating Yale, but they are not. Most endowments use fund of funds and consultants, rather than making their own well-informed decisions. You can divide institutional investors into two camps: those who can hire high-quality, active-management investors and those who cannot. If your going to invest in alternatives, you should be all in, and do it they way Yale does it - with 20 to 25 investment professionals who devote their careers to looking for opportunities. Or you belong in the other end, with a portfolio exclusively in index funds with low fees. If your not going to put together a team that can make high-quality decisions, your best alternative is passive investing. With a casual attempt to beat the market, you're going to fail".
Here we have one of the most informed investors in the country telling the WSJ that most billion dollar institutions do not have the resources to devote to finding a few talented active managers and that they should stick with index funds. Consequently, it is unimaginable that an individual investor or financial consultant would have the resources or skill to pick winning managers.
Swensen: "Consultants make money by giving advice to as many people as possible. But you outperform by finding inefficiencies most of the market has not yet uncovered. So consultants end up ultimately doing a disservice to investors." - 9:07 PM

Or you could simply look at as one of the best paid most talked about investors bragging that it's his way or the highway.

Buy-and-hold/Index funds are a form of buy-high/sell-low style.
To clarify, if you buy $100 of a stock that is priced at $100 then your risk/reward is 1% per 1% move in stock price. If that stock doubles to $200 then a 1% move in stock price has a 2% risk/reward relative to your original $100 investment. A similar situation exists to the downside, if the stock price declines to $50 then a 1% move in stock price has a 0.5% risk/reward relative to the original investment.
That variable risk can be mitigated by adding more risk (buying more stock) as prices decline, reducing risk/stock as prices rise. Such rebalancing can be performed using fixed interval reviews or be more dynamic based upon predictions or measures.
Where buy-low/sell-high rebalancing adds value (stock price volatility capture benefits) then that reduces the loading upon the total fund to achieve comparable (or better) results than buy-and-hold.
If for example bonds average 7%, stocks 10% and 1% rebalance benefit is achieved then an average 66/34 stock/bond blend will compare equally with pure 100% stock buy-and-hold (60/40 type stock bond blends are popular for good reason). Should the rebalance benefit amount to 2% then an average 34/66 stock/bond blend will compare to buy-and-hold. Alternatively if a 2% rebalance benefit is achieved and a greater proportion of stock than 34/66 stock/bond blend is averaged then returns might be expected to better buy-and-hold. Yet such a stock/bond blending might be expected to carry lower levels of volatility (risk) than that of pure 100% stock buy-and-hold.
I'm no expert, yet personally I target and generally achieve around a 3% rebalance benefit. I would expect pro's to be more than capable of achieving better.
A characteristic of such a blend based style is that shorter term (yearly) performance tends to be up less in an up year, down less in a down year. Such shorter term comparisons are often (wrongly) used to highlight how the majority of managed funds relatively under-perform buy-and-hold. A fairer measure would be to compare longer term net compound average returns achieved over a range of market cycles.
Regards. Clive. - 2:20 AM

Major League Lacrosse gossip from around the league
wpjohn2 - 7/19/2007
It might have seemed pretty convenient to many MLL fans that Philly dropped former Boston Cannon defenseman Brian Kuczma this week, just after the Cannons lost defenseman Rodger Colbert for the year with a fractured tibia.Boston picked up Kuczma but he did not play for the Cannons Thursday against Rochester. Rookie Ray Megill replaced Colbert as the third longpole and Reece Pacheco to filled in for Megill at shortstick defense and acted as the fourth pole.
Kuczma played three seasons with Boston (2001-03) before joining Philadelphia. The move was somewhat surprising for a team that has valued chemistry so much during its run of two titles in three years. But with second-year pro Brett Moyer emerging alongside starters Brian Spallina and Kyle Sweeney, Kuczma must have been expendable.
In other news, the league presented John Fernandez of the Wounded Warrior Project with a check for $52,308 on Thursday during the Boston-Rochester game. The MLL raised $26,154 by auctioning off the camouflage jerseys worn during the All-Star Game, with New Balance matching the money.
Leading the way was Mikey Powell at $2510, closely followed by Alex Smith ($2500). Ryan Powell, Matt Poskay and Mickey Jarboe were the other players that drew four-figure donations. Inside Lacrosse picked up a Nicky Polanco uni for $510, outbidding a number of eager fans at the last minute.
Why Polanco? One, he appeared on our June cover (link). Two, the man painted his entire face camouflage during the All-Star Game. Need we say more?
The only other nugget is that MLL Comissioner David Gross confirmed today that playoff rosters will increase to 20 from the regular-season 18 for the Aug. 25-26 postseason in Rochester.
"Moving to the Saturday-Sunday format makes injuries more of a possibility so we thought we should increase the rosters a couple spots to protect the players and increase the quality of play," he said.
Some observations from Thursday night's Rochester-Boston game on ESPN2:Why do teams continue to put a shortstick on Joe Walters? The man has 14 points in his last two games. I'd be shocked to not see longsticks on Casey Powell, John Grant Jr. and Walters the rest of the way.
Too bad David Jenkins wasn't able to go for Boston. Would have liked to see the veteran battle rookie Alex Smith. But apparently Jenkins' fever was so bad he couldn't make it. GM Jason Chandler says Jenkins wanted to go but clearly wasn't physically able.
Nice job by Jack Reid on Mikey Powell. The big UMass grad took the ball away from MP at least three times; he might be one of the league's most underrated defensemen.
Speaking of underrated defenders, Rochester's Chris Schiller is excellent. He seems to mix it up in every game too; speedsters aren't often enforcers too, but you gotta respect the way Schiller plays.
Shoutout to my boy Knabber in Rochester. He read something I wrote this week about Canadians playing for Rochester and challenged me to a little wager on the Boston game. Even gave me four goals. Way to go Cannons. Thanks for nothing. Chandler, I'll send you a bill for one six-pack of National Bohemian. Knabber, let me know where your tailgate is Aug. 25 in Rochester for the championship and I'll be there with a few cold ones.
Speaking of which, thanks to Craig Rybczynski of the Rattlers for the pass to last Saturday's Long Island game (and thanks to Joe Smith for the extra tickets). I was up visiting my mom and thought I'd take in a ballgame at PAETEC Park. Great venue; not so great neighborhood. Classic Rock, Paper, Scissors Competition during the game, by the way. I haven't seen such meathead behavior since the time I went running with Carp at some park around here and he was blaring Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" out of his car speakers in the parking lot.
Amazing that in the Bud Light bar area, they weren't playing the game on the TVs. That's not good for any party involved. But great to see two girls from my high school rocking VIP season tickets. Not only have they gone to every game, but they upgraded to the $99 package because, as they said, why not? If more young professionals in more cities had that mentality, the MLL would be a lot better off.
The guys at the gate were a little skeptical when I picked up my press pass and they looked over my shoulder to see eight guys with empty beer cans in their hands. But here's proof that I was working during the game, fellas. See you in a few weeks.

Why Oracle didn't buy MySQL
Reading the excellent analysis of Arjen Lentz, founder of MySQL training company Open Query, of what the open-source database leader MySQL is (and isn't) makes me wish that Oracle would have discovered MySQL as a complement, rather than as a competitor, several years ago.
MySQL's is the database software of choice for the Web, period. Oracle's is the database software of choice for the enterprise, period. It's unclear, as Lentz points out, that this means one is better than the other--and why we need to keep talking about competition between them:

REACTIONS | 12 Years a Slave
Friday, 08 November 2013 13:05
Commentary by Eric Mahmoud
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the screening of the most brutal, gut wrenching, and emotionally overwhelming film I've ever seen in my 53 years.
12 Years a Slave
is British director Steve McQueen's adaptation of a memoir by the same name, written 160 years ago by Solomon Northup. Northup was a freeman who lived in New York. He was tricked, drugged, kidnapped, taken to New Orleans, and made a slave.
Northup's story is one-of-a-kind because it is told by the victim of the slave condition himself. This first-person perspective makes the condition impossible to sanitize. One woman in the theatre could be heard weeping through half the movie. Whites and Blacks alike were in tears by the time the viewing was over.

Coleman wins in St. Paul, Hodges presumptive Mayor of Minneapolis; Warsame, Yang, and Cano make City Council history
Friday, 08 November 2013 09:52
Harry Colbert, Jr.
FRIDAY, NOV. 8 – Nov. 5, 2013 will be remembered as a day of history and infamy in Minnesota elections – Minneapolis in particular.
For the first time in a major election, voters took to the polls faced with a ranked choice voting ballot and an absurd number of candidates – 35 to be exact – vying to become Minneapolis' next mayor. The combination meant a 17-inch long ballot for voters and days of tabulations for city elections officials. At the time of press, while it is presumed that Betsy Hodges will be named the city's mayor elect, the results were not yet official after a staggering 15 rounds of ballot counting and Hodges was about 10,000 votes shy of being named the victor even though her closest challenger, Mark Andrew already conceded.

Quote:Hello everyone.So here I am with new dilema... I am looking for mount to use with my Meade 5000 ED APO 80mm. I found Celestron CG-4 and Skywatcher EQ-3-2 in my price range, and both seem very similar. EQ-3-2 sells for 205€, while CG-4 sells for 265€.Do you have any experience with these two, please? They have same payload of 8kg, both come with tripod. From the images I've see, CG-4's tripod seems sturdier, but images can lie. Are there any other differences? Sturdiness, quality, reliability, comfort of use, etc? Is CG-4 woth 60€ extra?My setup weights approx. 4,5 kg, so there is a reasonable reserve. Do you think CG-4's sturdier mount will make difference with 4,5kg setup (if it is any sturdier, at all)?Thank you guys so much for your advice, I really appreciate any help, as I really have no clue.Thank you once again, wishing you clear nightsFrank.

WFP Zambia Deputy Country Director, Dr. Purnima Kashyap, with children in a remote village in Zambia. Copyright: WFP/Rein Skullerud
"Seeing the desperation and helplessness of people following the earthquake in Haiti was the most emotionally and physically draining experience of my career", said Purnima Kashyap, Deputy Country Director, World Food Programme (WFP) Zambia, who was a part of the Humanitarian Assistance team soon after the Haitian earthquake in January 2010.
Purnima will never let go of an opportunity to help rebuild people's lives. With a PhD in public health and nutrition, she has applied her knowledge and over two decades of field experience in developing and implementing pragmatic and people centered programmes, especially focusing on women and children.
Purnima began her career as a dietitian at Safdarjang Hospital in her native country of India. Following her stint at the hospital Purnima joined the Indian Council for Medical Research, where she worked as an Assistant Research Officer, evaluating the national nutrition anemia prevention programme. Purnima joined WFP India Country Office in 1991 as a Programme Officer. One of her greatest achievements there was the development of the unique fortified blend of food known as 'India Mix'. This remains very popular in the national maternal child health and nutrition programme, known as the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS). Little did she know that years later she would find herself promoting the production of similar blended food products and recipes in other countries, combining her experience from India with local wisdom in places such as Ethiopia and Uganda.
"Coming to Zambia in July 2007, was a time of excitement for me", she said. Upon arrival Purnima was met with a new challenge, that of acting as the Country Director and running the Country Office for close to a year until the arrival of Pablo Recalde. She rose to the challenge and undertook a major staff review exercise which was hailed as one of the best examples in WFP and therefore a great success. Since then she has gone on to help develop a number of disaster relief and development programmes in Zambia, in addition to maintaining ongoing country activities. Among the most innovative have been the food vouchers for the urban and peri-urban populations, and linking environment activities (tree planting, rain water harvesting and use of fuel efficient stoves) to school meals programmes through community involvement. She has contributed to the resource mobilization efforts in Zambia and is actively engaged in consultations with Government, donor and other stakeholders, as well as building new partnerships.
Purnima's career with WFP has offered her a number of memorable experiences. Among these was her time in Haiti following the devastating earthquake. "Seeing the desperation and helplessness of people following the earthquake in Haiti was the most emotionally and physically draining experience of my career", said Purnima. However, despite working alongside WFP staff that had lost many friends, family, and belongings, they continued to help others without taking a day off. "The positive drive of the WFP team was a positive experience for me", she said.
Other highlights include her involvement in the first ever joint programme between WFP, UNICEF and WHO to develop a school health and nutrition programme in Ethiopia. Purnima also succeeded to work with IDP's and the Karamajong people in Uganda to implement nutritional programmes in the camps, this despite needing military escorts due to the security situation.
"My greatest achievement to date has been succeeding in developing local capacity and finding solutions through pragmatic programs in association with local partners for addressing problems of hunger and malnutrition," Purnima said. Going forward, Purnima hopes to represent WFP at a higher level, become an advocate for hunger, and continue to invest in solutions to reducing hunger and malnutrition.

I'll forgo the cost of a new car, the interest on the loan, the higher cost of new car insurance, & just drive my pos less so I can afford to buy groceries. I sure as hell won't be buying one of his gas mizers just to be saddled with extra costs, because it gets better mileage.

Truck sales are a key to the American manufacturer's business, I don't understand wanting to push people into gas sipping sub-compacts. Yes, I can do w/o my truck, but many of the people I know rely on their truck for their daily routine. Hiking up the gas price another $1 is ridiculous.
And I just got into this damn 60 month loan, no way I can get out now. Talk to me 59 months from now, then maybe, I'll think about it.2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab

I didnt read that article, I'll get around to it. One of the problems is that these vehicles are getting such good MPG that we're using LESS gas, so there is less gas tax to fix roads. That, IMHO is a real problem in all of this. I'm in a 2011 Chevy Suburban right now for a demo and I'm averaging about 19 MPG total and about 23 MPG freeway at 60 MPH average. That's crazy high numbers!!!
Now, these cars that are getting 50 MPG aren't using much fuel so they are not paying their fair share of the cost to fix roads.

06-13-2011, 07:41 PM #7So once we all get our Prius or Volt, how do you get a 4x8 sheet of plywood home from Lowes? I guess we will be paying so much for fuel that we won't have to worry about spending money on home improvements. I hope some of our European members weigh in on this because I have heard that in England gas is over $9 US per gallon. I want their testimony about the positive impact on the English economy and auto industry that resulted from driving fuel prices so high.
Limiting opportunity and mismanagement of the economy is the responsibility of Government. I for one do not think there is any lack of ability in Washington as far as pursuing personal goals at the expense of serving the public is concerned. Case and point, with a stumbling economy, double digit unemployment and a host of other serious issues facing our country, a Congressman sends pictures of his winkie to a total stranger.
Unless there is a shortage of women who want pictures of a guys winkie, Akerson should leave the stupidity to the Government.
06-13-2011, 08:15 PM #8I agree with steve on the main reason and problem is there isnt any way to viably repair the roads. However a higher gas tax makes no sense. they need to do something better. Since you buy an econo box to save money.. and since you save the money on gas they want to figure out a way to get that extra $.75 a gallon fuel tax.

Learning Communities at UNA
Learning communities are springing up at colleges and universities all over the nation, and in their simplest form they take two courses and connect them to help students get the most out of their college experience.
Learning communities:
- Organize students and faculty into smaller groups
- Bring faculty and students together
- Encourage integration of different subjects
- Focus faculty and students on student learning
- Help students establish support networks
- Provide a setting for adjusting to college
Some of the most outstanding faculty on campus participate in this program. In addition, over 96 percent of the students who participated in a learning community during the past two years said that they would recommend a learning community to an in-coming freshman! At UNA, two different subjects are paired together, such as English and History, and a one hour Learning Community course is added so that students have an opportunity to interact with their professors and get to know fellow students from both of the core classes. (All of the paired courses are courses that a college student would normally take during their freshman year.)
By organizing students and faculty into smaller groups there is an opportunity for students to establish support networks, there is an increased focus on student learning, and the program offers an excellent chance for students to adjust to the college environment. That helps create a successful college experience!

Bought this item for my sister in-law as a stocking stuffer. Could not think of a better small gift. Buying one for myself next!
I am not only getting one of these for myself but one for a friend as well! It's a nice size for a flask and a conservation starter when you pull it out for a drink!
I love taking this with me when I go to the beach. It's small, doesn't drip no matter what you do with it, and is the perfect amount for the night.
This flask was a gift for a girlfriend. The packaging was cute, thr flask was well made, a decent size, and heavy. I was pleased and I am sure she will be as well. I only gave this 4 stars, because I am not sure if it will be hard to use without the funnel flask since the neck opening is narrow.
Purchased for my husband and he loves it! It is the perfect size to take for a gathering. Would recommend as a great gift for Christmas!
This flask is awesome. I bought the "don't drink and ride" for my uncle who is a cyclist. He loved it.
I love this flask. It is my first flask to ever own and i take it every time i have a day off where ever i go. Its sleek and still holds plenty of spirit to keep your spirits up ;)
Love it! Super cute as a gift when paired with the Izola Flask Funnel too. The engraving makes it quirky and is a great gift to laugh about (and then use frequently).

BEIRUT: Syria will no longer accept attacks on its territory from across the border with Lebanon, Syria's Ambassador Ali Abdel-Karim Ali said in remarks published Saturday and Prime Minister Najib Mikati reiterated his call for Lebanon to uphold its dissociation policy.
"What is required of the Lebanese government is that it carry out its duty on the border with Syria," Ali told As-Safir newspaper.
"We have no interest whatsoever in creating tensions with Lebanon but at the same time we can never compromise on Syria's security and sovereignty. We are being attacked and we are no longer willing to accept that - ever," he said.
Damascus, in a letter sent to the Foreign Ministry Thursday, warned Beirut it would attack Syrian rebels in Lebanon, reiterating its claims that arms and gunmen were being smuggled from the poorly delineated border.
The letter said Syrian forces were still exercising self-restraint by not striking "concentrations of armed gangs inside Lebanese territory in order to prevent them from crossing into Syrian territory."
"But this will not last indefinitely," the letter warned.
Syria has on several occasions responded to what it claimed were sources of fire coming from Lebanon which has resulted in civilian casualties as well as material damage.
Separately, Mikati told the pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hayat in remarks published Saturday that he would try to seek clarification on the contents of the letter through diplomatic channels.
"We will get more clarification about the letter via diplomatic means," the prime minister said.
"I urge the Lebanese to continue [upholding] the policy of disassociation," he added.
The letter prompted March 14 figures to call for the deployment of peacekeeping forces to the 550-kilometer border to ameliorate tensions.
President Michel Sleiman, who is on an official tour of African states, said Friday night that the Lebanese should refrain from sending fighters to Syria.
"To overcome tensions surrounding Lebanon we should all be committed to the Baabda Declaration and not send gunmen to Syria or receive them. We should remain neutral," Sleiman said during a ceremony at the Lebanese Embassy in Ivory Coast.
"The Lebanese Army has been commissioned to repress and arrest any gunmen [in Lebanon] to fight, whether they are with the opposition or not," he added.
Earlier that day, Sleiman said: "The Syrian Foreign Ministry's statement is being studied and we will take the appropriate stance on it. Lebanon has adopted a disassociation policy on the Syrian events. This position was translated into the Baabda Declaration."
"Lebanon, according to this [Baabda] Declaration, will not allow itself to serve as a crossing point for arms and gunmen across its border," Sleiman said.
"It will not allow the establishment of military bases or security centers for gunmen on its territory," he added.

Dream Groom
Husband by the Hour Prince Charming, M. D.
The Rancher Next Door
The Sheik's Kidnapped Bride
The Wedding Ring Promise
Wild West Wife
The book opens with the heroine Josie Fitzgerald Scott getting into a serious auto accident. As Josie lies there believing she's about to die, she realizes her one regret is the dissolution of her marriage and her last thought before losing consciousness is of her ex-husband Del.
Through the miracle of modern medicine, Josie does not die, but is forever changed. Her face has been made over by plastic surgery, and a cane supports her once athletic form. Josie's personality has also changed. Her long and difficult recovery has given her time to examine herself, and she realizes she is a different person than the one she was during her turbulent marriage. Seeking closure, Josie returns to California to talk to Del and, she hopes, to put the past behind her for good.
What Josie doesn't count on is that Del won't recognize her in her altered state. When Josie arrives at Del's construction company, he treats her as if she's a stranger. So what does Josie do? Just what anyone would do, lie to him and pretend to be a woman named Rose. Josie feels bad about this, really she does, but it's just that Del likes her so much better as Rose. She's afraid if he finds out she's really his ex-wife, he won't talk to her at all, especially after all the rotten things Del says about Josie when he thinks he's talking to Rose.
It's understandable why Del would like "Rose" better; she has matured since their divorce three years ago. Gone is the spoiled young woman who always had to have her way and who turned everything into a competition that she just had to win. Privately, Del has physical reasons for liking the difference as well. Josie was athletic; she never wore make-up, didn't like to dress up and kept her hair cut short. At one point Del describes Josie's old figure as "too bony and muscular".
The reader is then presented with all the things he likes about Rose. She has long hair, wears dresses, has a nice curvy figure, uses make-up and wants children. These types of comparisons are sprinkled liberally through the book, making it obvious that the new Josie is a big improvement. One can't help but get the feeling that now that she's more feminine, Josie is a better person as well. It's very disconcerting.
The whole idea that Del wouldn't recognize his wife after spending some time with her was a little implausible, even given the physical changes, but I was willing to suspend my disbelief. That is until the ubiquitous "old family friend" recognizes her immediately. I don't care how close this person was to Josie, it doesn't make sense, except as a clichéd plot device. That is exactly what the character of Annie Mae is, but thank heaven she's there. If it weren't for her, Del and Josie would have spent the entire book worrying about whether the other one would really consider getting back together and being too scared to talk about it out loud. As only her type of character can do, Annie Mae knows the real problems behind Del and Josie's marriage, each of their hidden personality flaws and the steps they need to take to get together. Add a little pep talk by Del's mother Catherine, and the hero and heroine don't have to figure out anything for themselves.
One thing Wife in Disguise does right is the transformation of Josie's personality. Through her accident, Josie learned there are other kinds of strength besides physical and that it is not a weakness to need people. She is a more sympathetic character because of her ability to see her own faults, and also that she is willing to change and overcome them. Her emotional growth was so much more important than the fluff physical changes and should have been given more prominence. Instead, the tone of the books is clearly one of "It's nice that Josie matured emotionally, but we're really glad she painted her nails and put on a dress." Welcome to Stepford.

First thing i did! OK well second thing i did....First thing was the wiggly icon move. LOL
Now I can get to MMI with just one touch.
For some reasin the icon isn't showing up for me. Any idea why?
cause its not going to modmyi.com its going to odmyifone.om/cmps_index.php so it wont show the icon lol
so how do you make it just go to the site without it adding all the index stuff?
cant i think it has something to do with th database problems today.
All the websites should get their icons ready!
well this sucks I wanted the icon for the homepage of MMI and it doesn't work =\ fix please so we could make the homepage (one with index.php after or what ever it is) have an icon.
well this sucks I wanted the icon for the homepage of MMI and it doesn't work =\ fix please so we could make the homepage (one with index.php after or what ever it is) have an icon.
What? Home page versus forums should have absolutely no difference...
nope not for me neither sure it will get sorted soon!
Now if we could only get MMi to switch to a host that could handle the traffic this would be cool.
Should - but it does. If I try from the main page, it doesn't work. That's the page I check the most.
work - just not from the main page. I'm sure pf and cash will fix it...
It wouldn't make a difference had the apple-touch-icon.png been placed at the root directory http://modmyi.com instead of at http://modmyi.com/forums!
Create a WebClip Bookmark Icon
iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a element similar to within the element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

SugarCRM sweet on Microsoft's Azure cloud
SugarCRM has long lived in the shadow of Salesforce.com, partly thanks to the latter's headline grabbing chief executive. The PHP-based CRM outfit wasn't helped, though, by the actions of its own former CEO, who was finally asked to step down by the company's board in early 2009 and replaced open-source mover and shaker Larry …
Azure is not amazingly new
(not that is a bad thing)
As far as I can tell, it is like a Linux distribution LAMP, but obviously of Microsoft flavoured components (WISN). MS have had an 'appliance' (file/print) server for some while, nicking Novell's business.
Didn't they add PHP to Azure recently.
Apps and app-stores will probably be a fading market, replaced by objects (films/videos) and services (TV, maps, contact storage, etc.).
Larry Augustin has a death wish? He should know what is the price for working with Microsoft.
Aw, Shyt
We've been using SugarCRM (after finally retiring that godawful Act!) in a Linux server/Windoze desktop/Firefox browser (IE prohibited) shop. A buck says a fresh new world of trouble awaits as the Beast has sunk its talons into Sugar and starts nudging it toward their usual "best used with MS..." tactics while crippling competing products.
Fuckin' Microsoft. To borrow from Visa, it's everywhere I *don't* want it to be.
Sugar CRM + Cloud = Candy Floss
Salesforce has become far more than a simple sales oriented CRM solution, I'm not sure if it's entirely legitimate to compare Sugar CRM to Salesforce.

Manhunt under way for gunman who killed South Carolina college student
CHARLESTON, South Carolina
- Tweet
- Share this
CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - A statewide manhunt was under way on Wednesday for a gunman who fatally shot a South Carolina university student outside a dormitory and then fled the campus in a car, police said.
No motive has been revealed for the attack, which occurred Tuesday night at an apartment-style residence that houses almost 2,000 students about 2 miles from the main campus of Coastal Carolina University, near Myrtle Beach.
Sophomore Anthony Liddell, 19, of Bennettsville, South Carolina, died after the shooting in a parking lot outside the residence hall, university officials said. He was an exercise and sports science major, university spokesman Doug Bell said on Wednesday.
Police were searching for the suspect and hoped to release a description on Wednesday, said South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry, who declined to comment further.
A fellow student who was a close friend of Liddell's said she did not know anyone who would want to harm him.
"He was very nice and sweet and was friendly to everybody, which is why people are so shocked and surprised by this. He never argued with anybody. I've never seen him angry," said Alexe Herbert, 19.
The university police chief deemed the campus safe to hold classes as scheduled after a Tuesday night lockdown, university officials said.
"We will continue to do all that we can with all the resources necessary to make sure that our students are safe and secure," said Coastal Carolina University President David DeCenzo. "We only pray that an event like this never happens on our campus or any college campus again."
Liddell's death comes amid a broad debate across a sharply divided nation over U.S. gun control laws.
In the wake of the fatal December shooting of 20 elementary school students and six adults in Newtown, Connecticut, federal and state legislators across the United States have begun debating new gun legislation.
While the Connecticut attack prompted some states, like New York, to tighten gun laws, other states including Wyoming and Alaska are considering legislation aimed at essentially nullifying broader federal gun laws within their state borders.
The U.S. Congress remains embroiled in a similarly heated debate.
Federal legislators are considering new legislation this week to expand requirements for gun buyer background checks and increase penalties for individuals who purchase guns for criminals.
(Additional reporting by Chris Francescani; Editing by Colleen Jenkins, Maureen Bavdek and Martin Golan)
Guns are illegal on the campus.
As usual, the armed (campus) police were not able to stop someone from getting shot. Just another example of why we as Americans must arm and protect ourselves, or be shot down like a helpless deer in the woods.
Not criticizing people who are afraid of guns and are unwilling to defend themselves or their families because they are chicken. If gun control people want to be sheep for slaughter that is their right as Americans, but they are not turning me into a trembling little girl like them by forcing their fantsy views on me as gun control laws that have been proved NOT to work.

04/23/2010 - In this Tea Party age, when thousands of people demonstrate nationwide against high taxes, the 15,000 people who rallied in Springfield last week tried a change-of-pace chant. "Raise My Taxes!" they shouted at the television cameras and any lawmakers who happened by.The clamor over the state's estimated $13 billion budget deficit —and concerns over jobs and spending that prompted the protests — tends to drown out discussion of an issue that economists identify as perhaps the biggest long-term threat to Illinois's financial health: The state's shortfall of at least $61 billion in pension funding and the lack of any realistic plan to catch up.***To date, the state has provided only about 54 percent of the money necessary to meet its projected long-term obligations, according to a study by the Pew Center on the States. But economists who have studied the state's figures say Illinois's true obligation to retirees most likely is far larger than official estimates.Read the entire article Pension Financing Shortfall Is a Threat on the Horizon for State on The New York Times Web site.

Robert Griffin III outduels Tony Romo as Redskins beat Cowboys, 38-31
It was hard to tell with his final numbers, but the Cowboys did manage to put some pressure on Griffin. They sacked him four times, forced him to sprint out of the pocket a number of times and delivered hard hits after several throws.
The Dallas offense, playing most of the game without Miles Austin after he injured a hip early, never could answer in the decisive second quarter. The Cowboys had only two first downs while the Redskins were scoring four touchdowns.
The Cowboys' best possession came right after Griffin's first big play, but Bryant fumbled in the open field at the end of what would have been a first-down catch. DeJon Gomes returned the fumble to the Dallas 49, and Alfred Morris scored from the 1 for a 14-3 lead. Morris had 113 yards on 24 carries.
NOTES: Cowboys WR Miles Austin of Garfield will have an MRI today on bruised ribs he suffered in the game. ... Redskins LB London Fletcher, who also had an interception, extended his consecutive games streak to 235 and made his 190th straight start. He left the game later after re-injuring the ankle that put his streak in jeopardy. ... With Morris' 100-yard day, the last 10 such games for the Redskins have been by rookies.

North Jersey animal shelters, pet adoptions hit hard by Sandy
Photos: The animals of Bergen County Animal Shelter after Sandy
On North Jerseyans' to-do list after superstorm Sandy: Repairing storm damage. Finding gasoline. Keeping warm. Nowhere on that list was adopting a pet.
"It's absolutely not a priority," said Marge Kayne, president of Save The Animals Rescue Team II, which operates an Englewood shelter. "An animal is another mouth to feed, another thing to take care of, and people aren't coming out now to adopt."
The storm — and the power outages that followed — occurred at an awful time for animal shelters and rescue groups. Fall is popular for adoptions because animals have time to acclimate to their new homes before the stressful holidays.
But midway through this fall, adoptions have virtually stopped, although there is hope activity will pick up with the resumption of pet adoption events this weekend at retail sites that had been shuttered because of lack of power.
Related: How to donate time, money and supplies for Sandy relief efforts
The Save The Animals Rescue Team II was hit hard. Its shelter had property damage and lost power for 10 days. The shelter's nine dogs were boarded at a Ridgefield Park kennel, and the 59 cats were with volunteers. The group also had to evacuate cats it keeps at PetSmart stores that lost power.
"There's nothing going on — no donations coming in, no adoptions going out," Kayne said.
The Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro, powerless for a week, reopened Tuesday to adoptions. The animals — 300 cats and 60 dogs — were cared for on the premises. "They were kept warm and made it through," shelter manager Deborah Yankow said.
The shelter denizens received additional company, including seven dogs temporarily surrendered by people displaced by the storm. And a variety of strays arrived, including a pair of Chinese crested chickens deposited at the doorstep of a Home Depot. Joe Appio, a spokesman for the Bergen County Executive's Office, said officials hope to find a petting zoo to take the hen and rooster.
Yankow said all surgeries were suspended while the shelter had no power. That meant an extended stay for a frisky black-and-white Havanese stray dubbed Obama. He was adopted before Sandy blew in but couldn't go to his new home until he was neutered. That happened Monday right after the electricity came back.
The Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge in Oakland, which never lost power, also took in animals temporarily and has a full house.
"No question there's a drop in people looking to adopt," said Steven Mark, the executive director. "We usually get a lot of foot traffic, but people didn't want to drive here and use up gas. Our animals are here and waiting."
Amy Kozell, founder of Clifton-based Angels of Animals, said she knows things are bad when she can find no takers for a perfectly adorable, snow-white kitten — part of a litter of three in her organization's care.

NewsNational Day of Mourning, a hard lesson in staying safe on the job
Friday, April 27, 2012 - 5:41 PM The National Day of Mourning is Saturday, a day to remember those lost and injured on the job. Cowichan Lake's Gord Tuck was one of those injured on the job, losing his leg when he was 18 years old. Tuck told SunFM News his mission is to get workers thinking more about their safety "We are just trying to get people aware of what is going on, so they are thinking. You know there not just going out to a job blindly, they are thinking of what they should be looking for, risk assessment, just to make it safer for everybody. I don't know if we can eliminate all accidents, but hopefully everybody can come home at the end of the day." Saturday's Day of Mourning comes at a poignant time: just a few days after a mill explosion in Prince George killed two men and injured 18 others. Robert Smits with the Nanaimo-Duncan District Labour Council said the day is a reminder of the risks at work. "We want people to make sure that they go home to their families at night, not to the hospital or the morgue. People forget sometimes, they think it is modern times, things are much safer than they used to be, and that is true in some regards but not in all." Smits believes employers that contribute to a death or accident should be prosecuted under the law, and authorities are too often writing it off as simply a 'workplace' accident. The district council is hosting Day of Mourning ceremonies in three locations Saturday, one at Lake Cowichan in the Woodworkers Memorial Park at 10:00 AM, as well as in Nanaimo and Parksville. According to WorkSafe BC, in 2011, 142 people in the province lost their lives on the job. Similar StoriesMost Viewed Stories More Local

For those of you twittering on an iPhone or iPod Touch, you might be interested to learn that there's a new application you can use for speeding up relies, DMs, RTs, and more, it's called TweetStack.
TweetStack also lets you import your TweetDeck settings, you can see how to do that here.
According to Mashable, the TweetStack can do other cool stuff like geo-tagging your photos:
TweetStack lacks the beautiful and sleek design of Tweetie, but once you notice that you can create stacks (ie. groups) based on TwitPic (TwitPic reviews) tags, your current location, Twitter friends, and any search term that strikes your fancy, we think you'll be impressed. Now throw in the fact that tapping a user's avatar gives you the option to view that user's profile, create a group, or add the user to an existing group. Oh, and tapping a tweet itself will let you send a reply or dm, retweet it, or add it as a favorite.
