A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Take a spin on any of Cedar Point's three carousels this month and you'll help raise money for pediatric research at Cleveland Clinic Children's.
During the month of July, Cedar Point will donate 10 cents for every rider on the historic Midway Carousel, Cedar Downs Racing Derby, or Kiddy Kingdom Carousel.
This fundraising initiative is part of an ongoing partnership between Cedar Point and Cleveland Clinic Children's. In May, Cedar Point launched the campaign with a first-rider auction for GateKeeper that raised more than $30,000 for pediatric research at the hospital.
Also through July, guests can purchase raffle tickets for just $5 each for a chance to win a Chevy Cruze, courtesy of Cleveland Chevy Network and Tim Lally Chevrolet.
"Our ultimate goal is to return kids to fun, and Cedar Point is the ideal partner, because fun is their foundation," said Giovanni Piedimonte, MD, chairman of Cleveland Clinic Children's. "This campaign allows every single person the chance to help our patients and have fun in the process."

I used my ultra cool Bombshell Stamps with some skin safe ink and markers to give the boy a temporary tattoo. I got some inspiration to do this from my girl Katie, she has a complete tutorial.
He had to have several different colors and of course, they had to be visible. He just wouldn't be able to stand it if no one was able to ask him about it. LOL He's a Leo down to the core.
I think it looks pretty awesome and hope it lasts only a few days. No more than that because he doesn't want to bathe....silly kid!!

AMESBURY – Police have determined that a reported carjacking that took place at the Carriagetown Marketplace on Monday night never happened, and the man who reported the incident fabricated the story to cover up for his own carelessness.
Joshua Scaife, 33, of 93 Grochmal Ave, Apt. 58, Springfield, will be charged with issuing a false report to a public safety dispatcher and issuing a false report of a crime to police after he allegedly crashed his car into a tree and then told police that a Hispanic male had attempted to steal it, according to the Amesbury Police.
"Apparently he got out of the vehicle, left it in drive and it launched into the tree on its own," said Amesbury Police Lt. Kevin Donovan. "So he tried to cover it up by coming up with this story."
The incident occurred at 11:39 p.m. on Monday in the parking lot near Acapulcos Mexican Restaurant. Following the accident, Scaife called the police and reported an attempted carjacking, prompting more than a half dozen officers, including a state police K-9 unit, to respond to the scene.
The officers fruitlessly searched the area for the would-be carjacker, who Scaife allegedly said was a Hispanic male wearing a white and grey hooded sweatshirt. According to Donovan, Scaife told police that he had been making a newspaper delivery when the man approached him and yanked him out of the car. He then supposedly held on to the carjacker, causing him to crash the vehicle and then flee on foot towards McDonalds.
Over the following days, Donovan said the department's detective division followed up on the case, reviewed security footage and conducted interviews before eventually determining that Scaife's story didn't check out.
Donovan said the department also interviewed Scaife and warned him on a couple of occasions that if he wasn't being truthful he could be charged criminally. Despite that, Scaife reportedly stuck to his story until he was presented with additional evidence and finally made an admission.
The charges that Scaife faces are both misdemeanors, and if convicted he could face anywhere from probation to time in the house of correction. Donovan said he couldn't predict what the courts will do, but the police didn't appreciate the way he wasted their time and resources, nor his reporting that the suspect was a minority.
"It's inflammatory," he said.

Biotivia Bio Shape Weight Loss - 60 Capsules
Biotivia Bio Shape inhibits Appetite and Boosts Metabolic Activity. Lose Body Fat, Boost Metabolic Activity, Increase Energy and Activate the SIRT Anti-Aging and Anti-Obesity Genes with Bio Shape. No other non-prescription or prescription weight control product is comparable in terms of potency, safety and efficacy.
Bio Shape combines the six most effective safe natural weight loss extracts into one product with a far higher potency and purity than any other supplement. Bio Shape represents a new and powerful multi-faceted approach to the complex and difficult challenge of weight loss.
There exists no other product which combines the appetite suppresants Organic Green Tea, Fucoxanthin and Garcinia Gambogis with Resveratrol, the SirT-1 anti-aging gene activator.
Why Choose New Bio Shape Resveratrol-Enhanced Weight Loss Supplement?
The Bio Shape Resveratrol weight loss supplement is truly unique. Their new weight loss supplement is the most advanced, most potent, and most effective combination of natural, safe weight loss ingredients ever offered in a single supplement. No other product at any price, with or without a prescription, offers the comprehensive array of anti-obesity agents found in Bio Shape.
If you are looking to lose more than ten or twenty pounds Bio Shape is your best option in a natural, safe, healthy, weight loss supplement.
Tackling the weight loss challenge requires a multi-pronged approach. No one ingredient is the answer. We have combined the most effective weight loss natural compounds into a formulation which brings together the following proven appetite suppresants, fat burners, metabolic boosters, and anti-obesity compounds:
Why is Bio Shape more effective than previous weight management products?
Questions and Answers: Bio Shape Weight Loss Supplement
How does Bio Shape work?
Bio Shape operates through five complimentary pathways:
How long will it take to see the effects?
In our trials subjects normally saw positive effects in terms of weight loss and inhibition of appetite as well as increased energy after about 12 days of supplementation with Bio Shape.
How should I take Bio Shape?
You should take one capsule upon waking with a glass of water or low sugar fruit juice. Then you should take one additional capsule approximately one hour prior to eating lunch and one capsule an hour before having dinner for a total of three capsules per day.
Should I take any of the other Biotivia supplements with Bio Shape?
For maximum effect we recommend that you combine your weight loss program with either Bioforte or Transmax, one capsule per day, and Bio Span+. The additional Resveratrol in Transmax or Bioforte amplifies the effects of Bio Shape while the curcumin and silymarin in Bio Span+ operate to protect the body against the inflammatory effects of excess body weight. Body builders who are seeking to reduce body fat while increasing strength and speed recovery from training sessions often find that adding Bio Forge to their regimen is very effective.
How can I maximize weight loss using Bio Shape?
The most effective weight loss program combines Bio Shape with regular exercise, adequate sound sleep, and plenty of water. The best way to control food consumption is to keep a diary in which you enter every food and beverage item consumed and calculate your weekly intake of calories. It is difficult to lose significant amounts of weight unless your daily consumption is less than 2,000 calories.
What is Thermogenesis?
The process by which the body consumes fats and carbohydrates to product heat. Increasing the rate of thermogenesis acts to deplete stores of body fat. Bio Shape supports cell metabolism without stimulating the central nervous system.
What is Fucoxanthin?
A carotenoid similar to those found in tomatoes, red vegetables, and various peppers, fucoxanthin is a powerful free radical scavenger that protects cells from oxidative stress damange. The color of Fucoxanthin comes from the carotenoids it contains. These compounds are powerful antioxidants which participate in the plant's energy production via photosynthesis. Marine plants are extremely healthy sources of vitamins, minerals, protein and other micro-nutrients. Consumption of ocean vegatables such as algae and seaweed has been strongly correlated with lower rates of many serious health conditions. Fucoxanthin is the first marine algae-derived ingredient with a clinically proven thermogenic effect. Bio Shape contains an all-natural food concentrate of fucoxanthin extracted from natural organic marine sources harvested in pristine waters off the coasts of both Europe and Japan.
Bio Shape Resveratrol Weight Loss Supplement Ingredients
Reduce appetite and cravings, Lose body fat, Increase energy, Improve healty and vitality
Trans-Resveratrol 50% 200mg* -- This ingredient alone would make an extraordinary supplement. Bio-enhanced natural Resveratrol modulates the benefits of the other appetite suppressants and metabolic agents contained in this complex and activates the SirT longevity genes. In animal studies Resveratrol prevented onsett of the normal deterioration of aging in obese subjects. The amount of Resveratrol contained in Bio Shape is that which Dr. Mehmet Oz and many other physicians and researchers recommend for optimal life extension. In multiple university studies Resveratrol has been shown to activate PGC-1 Alpha, a key regulator of energy metabolism. Once PGC-1 alpha is activated, it powerfully induces and coordinates gene expression that stimulates mitochondrial oxidative metabolism in brown fat, fiber-type switching in skeletal muscle, and multiple aspects of the fasted response in liver.
Resveratrol has been shown in numerous scientific studies to increase the number, density and efficiency of mitochondria, the fuel burning, energy producing factories in muscle cells. If one looks at a slide containing muscle cells from a person who uses Resveratrol on a regular basis the increased number and health of the mitochondria compared to someone who does not consume Resveratrol are obvious. The muscle of the Resveratrol user will be a deeper red in color and will contain many more mitochondria.
Fucoxanthin 150mg* -- In animal studies, fucoxanthin appeared to stimulate production of UCP1, a protein that increases the burning of fat. This protein is found in the visceral fat that surrounds internal organs in the abdomen – the type of fat linked to serious health conditions.
Organic Green Tea -- Green tea is a rich source of polyphenol catechins. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most active form of the catechins responsible for green tea's antioxidant and metabolic effects. Green tea also contains caffeine, which appears to act synergistically with EGCG to assist metabolism.
Garcinia cambogia 200mg* -- Garcinia Cambogia fills the glycogen stores in the liver and other tissues, thereby reducing appetite while increasing energy levels. Garcinia Cambogia lowers the production of triglycerides and may also increase thermogenesis, the burning of calories. Unlike chemical stimulants commonly used in weight loss products, Garcinia Cambogia does not act on the central nervous system. This means that Garcinia Cambogia will not cause insomnia, nervousness, changes in blood pressure or heart rate and its effectiveness will not diminish with time.
Gymnema sylvestre 200mg* -- Gymnea sylvestre is has been shown in animal studies to be able to lower the sugar available in the stomach for absorption, raise the insulin levels and block the dietary fat absorption.
Chromium 160ug* -- A trace mineral essential for the proper utilization of blood sugar. It helps lower triglyceride levels, and lowers body weight while increasing lean body mass
Why BioShape contains Fucoxanthin
Fucoxanthin is a major marine carotenoid found in edible seaweeds such as Undaria pinnatifida, commonly known as Wakame. Fucoxanthin also has anti-carcinogenec effects, apoptotic effects and free radical scavenging activity. In a study involving obese mice, fucoxanthin was shown to suppress weight gain of white adipose tissue. So strong was this result that the researcher concluded, Because most body fat is stored in white adipose tissue, decreasing white adipose tissue weight by fucoxanthin might be a very effective approach for preventing and/or alleviating obesity.? Maeda H, Hosokawa M, Sashima T, Takahashi N, Kawada T, and Miyashita K: Fucoxanthin and its metabolite, fucoxanthinol, suppress adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. International Journal of Molecular Medicine 18: 147-152, 2006.
The Japanese are well recognized to have the longest life expectancies in the world. Japanese women and men live longer and healthier than everyone else on Earth," says Naomi Moriyama, co-author of Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen. One extensive international study, the United Nations World Population Prospects 2006 Revision, listed Japan as first among 194 countries in life expectancy. On the other hand, the United States, even with the best health care in the world, ranked only 34th. Not coincidentally, Japan also has the lowest obesity rate in the urbanized world. Not only can the Japanese expect to live longer but they also live healthier. A native of Japan can anticipate an average of 75 years of healthy living free of disabilities, reports WHO.
In Japan, breakfast is considered to be the most powerful meal of the day. A typical breakfast menu consists of rice, egg or fish, vegetables, fruit, green tea and miso soup. The salubrious effect of Miso soup has received increased attention in recent years. Traditionally added to Miso soup is the extraordinary seaweed known as Wakame.
Wakame Seeweed, the source of Fucoxantin in BioShape
Wakame seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) is an edible sea vegetable, thought to be one of the first types of marine vegetation appearing on the planet over one billion years ago. It is full of naturally occurring benefits such as Vitamin C, Fiber, Beta-Carotene, pantothenic acid and riboflavin two B Vitamins required for your body to produce energy. It also contains the broadest range of minerals of any food the same minerals found in the ocean and in human blood such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and iodine. Significantly, Wakame seaweed also has the highest concentrations of naturally occurring Fucoxanthin.
Fucoxanthin is an Important Caratenoid
Commercially, Wakame seaweed is becoming known for its Fucoxanthin, a pigment in the chloroplasts of the brown seaweed responsible for its distinctive color. Fucoxanthin is thought to be a non-stimulant thermogenic, which means it has no effect on the sympathetic nervous system and can be taken without concerns of cardiovascular exhaustion or blood pressure deregulation.
It is also said to initiate the breakdown of fats accumulated by the body's storing of unburned protein. Fucoxanthin extract has been reported to break apart the stored coupled proteins within the fat cell and effectively turn the stored fat back into protein to be used as energy. Fucoxanthin has been shown to increase the expression of UCP1 in white adipose tissue (WAT). WAT is typically stored by adult humans in the abdomen and is the type of fat responsible for excessive weight gain and obesity. Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT), the good fat?, is important for both basal and inducible energy expenditure in the form of thermogenesis mediated by the expression of the tissue-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). In humans, UCP1 is usually expressed only in BAT and is a key component for metabolic thermogenesis, a process that prevents an excess of fat accumulation. BAT is considered to affect the whole-body metabolism and may modify sensitivity to insulin and induce the body to resist weight gain. However, adult humans have very little BAT and most fat is stored in WAT. Regulation of UCP1 expression in tissues other than BAT is expected to reduce abdominal fat and certainly is of great interest in the weight control industry. Fucoxanthin has been shown to upregulate the expression of UCP1 in WAT, which may contribute to reducing fatty WAT stores and assist in the battle against obesity.
Studies conducted on Fucoxanthin-fed mice at Hokkaido University indicate that Fucoxanthin has the ability to oxidize fat and release energy by adaptive thermogenesis within WAT fat cells. Research showed a reduction of abdominal WAT weights in laboratory animals by feeding Wakame lipids. This research supports the finding that through the introduction of Fucoxanthin, UCP1 protein can be un-coupled and released from WAT. In the Fucoxanthin-fed animals, WAT weight significantly decreased and UCP1 was expressed in the WAT, while there was no difference in WAT and little expression of UCP1 in the glycolipds-fed mice. The result indicates that Fucoxanthin up regulates the expression of UCP1 in WAT, which may contribute to reducing WAT weight and abdominal fats. So promising was this result that the researchers succinctly concluded that diets containing fucoxanthin might prevent obesity. Accordingly, interest in fucoxanthin has increased, since its activity depends on the protein and gene expresssion. expressions of UCP1 in WAT. Maeda H., Hosokawa M., Shashima T., Takahashi N., Kawada T., Miyashita K. Fucoxanthin and its metabolite, fucoxanthinol, suppress adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. Intl J Mol Med 18: 147-152, 2006.
In a follow-up study, these same researchers determined that [T]he induction of UCP1 in WAT by food constituent would be important and could become an ideal therapy of obesity." Maeda H., Tsukui T., Sashima T., Hosokawa M., Miyashita K. Seaweed carotenoid, fucoxanthin, as a multi-functional nutrient. Asia Pac J Clin Nutr 2008; 17 (SI): 196-199. The daily intake of fucoxanthin led to a significant reduction of total body weight. Body weights of laboratory animals fed Wakame lipid was significantly lower than that of controls, even though there were no significant differences in the mean daily dietary intake between the two groups. Essentially, the animals consumed the same amount of calories but those fed fucoxanthin did not accumulate excessive WAT. Further, Fucoxanthin intake also correlated significantly with reduced blood glucose and plasma insulin. Feeding fucoxanthin also significantly increased the level of hepatic docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a most important n-3 functional polyunsaturated fatty acid in biological systems. The authors concluded, These multi-functionalities of fucoxanthin indicate that it is an important bioactive carotenoid that should be beneficial for the prevention of the metabolic syndrome.? Most pertinently the research confirmed that fucoxanthin is the active component in Wakame lipids that result in the anti-obesity effect. The implication for the weight control industry is clear.
The Fucoxanthin contained in Bio Shape is far more concentrated than that contained in what are called "pure" Fucoxanthin supplements. Wakame itself contains only 0.01% fucoxanthin. The concentrate they use in Bio Shape is 2000 times the of that in Wakame seeweed

An 11-year-old boy is on life support after attempting suicide. His parents say he was the victim of bullying because of his love for the cartoon "My Little Pony."
This happened in North Carolina, but a group here in Phoenix say they sympathize with what he's been through and are doing what they can to help.
They are fans of "My Little Pony as well -- adult men -- who call themselves "Bronies." They've all rallied around this young boy, sending him a message that he's not alone.
"Essentially, a Brony is just a fan of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," said Mathew Testa.
"The word is a combination of bro and pony," said Daniel Ignacio.
In Phoenix, they have over 600 members.
"The writing is good, the characters are good. They are very strong, well-flushed out characters, the animation is top notch," said Ignacio.
But now, members of this community are rallying around one of its youngest members.
This 11-year-old boy allegedly tried to kill himself after being bullied at school for his obsession with My Little Pony.
Bronies from across the country, including right here in Phoenix, helped raise money during a 24-hour marathon to give to the boy and his family -- to show they care -- and that he's not alone.
"He's a victim of bullying. He's a victim of targeted bullying because of something he believes in and that's actually something that got to me the most," said Testa. "The fact that they looked past any positive feature he may have had otherwise and went for this one strange taste he happened to have."
In fact, one of the reasons they are fans of the show is because of its message of friendship and camaraderie.
"I think that it's such an admirable thing to let people enjoy what they enjoy and I just wish I could say you know, it gets better. You learn that the world does get better, you learn that the world is not entirely a terrible place," said Ignacio.
That 11-year-old boy allegedly tried to hang himself. He remains hospitalized and at this time, it's not known if he will have any brain injuries.

Sleep experts say it's not surprising that so many air traffic controllers have been caught nodding off on the job. Controllers work rotating schedules, sometimes working 16 hours out of 24, so they don't have regular wake/sleep cycles. They work under a lot of stress. And sometimes they work alone.
The solution, scientists say, is to let controllers nap on the job. Not when they're alone, of course. But by letting controllers take turns taking naps, the sleep experts say, everybody would be more refreshed and safety would be improved.
That's the solution already in place for firefighters and paramedics. And in some countries, for example Germany and Japan, air traffic controllers are allowed to nap while on duty in special rooms with cots for that purpose.
So far, though, neither the Obama administration nor Republicans overseeing the Federal Aviation Administration's budget are keen on the idea of allowing naps.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said there's no way he's going to approve paying controllers to sleep on the job. Instead, they've changed the rules so controllers have to take off more time between shifts. And they've required managers to work more overnight shifts so there won't be airports with lone controllers on duty overnight.
Florida Congressman John Mica, who is chairman of the House Transportation Committee, doesn't like any idea – including allowing naps – that would require hiring more controllers. "Only in the federal government would you double up on workers, averaging $161,000 per year in salary and benefits, that aren't doing their job," he said. "This increase in staffing, when there is little to no traffic, also misdirects our resources and focus away from congested air traffic control facilities."
What do you think? Should air traffic controllers be allowed to nap on the job? Take our poll.

I did another compression test today and now I'm getting 80-78-85-80 after installing a new head gasket and cleaning the valves. The I&T manual says the compression ratio is 6:1, do you multiply this by 14.7psi (atmospheric pressure) to come up with new compression of 88psi? Another post at a car site has a table that calculates PSI by PSI=(compression ratio-1) X 14.7. Using this method, 6:1 would give you 73.5 psi.
Also, in the I&T manual below the line for compression (standard) is 3 more lines of compression specs, what are these?

Know what my favorite commercial on the Olympics is so far? This one.
I know it's a craptastic riff on Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I know that it's a Trojan Horse for metered internet access.
I don't care. I love it. You know why? Because it's 100% Olympics-free.
No slo-mo. No idealized human forms flying through space. No adoring, rapturous parents. And no stinkin' rings.
I'm not sure what's going on here—did they not pay up for sponsorship rights? The spots are clearly running in the national feed, as opposed to local, and every other advertiser in the pod is Olympic up the wazoo: United, P&G, TD Ameritrade, Kelloggs, etc. etc.
Whatever. After endless faux-Chariots of Fire soundtracks and strained visual metaphors (United Airlines, I'm talking to you), this piece of straightforward retail shlock is like cool water in the desert.
Verizon: Official absolutely nothing of the Olympic Games. Thank you.

From Azerbaijan to Tanzania, West Virginia businesses are growing their export markets.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin joined with the West Virginia Development Office and the West Virginia Export Council on June 6 to celebrate the record-breaking 52 companies who successfully exported to a new country in 2012. While some companies, such as Growth Media Services, have grown their exports in one foreign market, in this case Hong Kong, others, such as Z Electric Vehicle Corp., have expanded into more than a dozen foreign markets.
"We're very proud of the fact that West Virginia is a leader in increasing the amount of exports," Tomblin said. "Last year, we increased by about 25 percent, and that was one of the top expansions of exporting across the country. It brings in a little over $11 billion in money coming back to West Virginia because of our exports."

JIM KUHNHENN and MARTIN CRUTSINGER | AP
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said that in Janet Yellen he has found a tough and proven leader to take over as chairman of the Federal Reserve.
Yellen currently is No. 2 at the nation's powerful central bank.
She would succeed outgoing Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke at a pivotal time for the economy and the bank's monetary policies.
If confirmed by the Senate, the 67-year-old Yellen would be the first woman to head any country's major central bank.
She emerged as the favorite for the post after former treasury secretary and White House favorite Lawrence Summers withdrew from consideration in the face of mounting opposition to him being Obama's choice.
Bernanke will serve until his terms ends Jan. 31.

Good Morning Everybody!!!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!! IT'S FRIDAY!!!!
WOW we are going to have a lovely day here in Southern Maryland 73 degrees and a beautiful SUN-SHINNY DAY!!!!!! THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING IS THIS SATURDAY THE 20TH AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE 74 DEGREES!!!!! I AM LOVING IT!!!!
I AM WISHING EVERYBODY TO HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY AND WEEKEND!!!!!!! lol
Aloha! ;)
Much better today. ;)
It will be warm and sunny and it's friday and my DS gets paid today. Of course that means I will be depressed later as I pay bills, so I had better enjoy what I can until then. ;)
Okay…I guess I can't stay away either. :(
This is our home and it just doesn't feel right not coming here. :(
I find myself coming here each time. :(
This is home, it looks lonely but it is still home. :(
Morning all!
I'm at work right now but thought I would stop in to say hello. Last night I got together with some people from my HP meet-up group to go bowling. I hadn't been in years; it was so much fun. It's nice to have friends who also enjoy embracing their geekiness! :)
I'm technically on Spring Break this coming week, but I have so much due the week after that I'm not even thinking of it as a break. I'll pick up some extra hours at work, and maybe try to squeeze in a couple of extra "fun" things, but mostly I'll still be plugging away at my assignments. In good news, I got a letter this week letting me know I've been awarded another scholarship! It was based on "academic merit" so it gives me an extra boost of motivation to keep working hard.
Okay, back to work; talk to you all soon!
I have started reading Harry, a History. Soooo gooood.
Good afternoon Leaky!
Can you believe that it snowed here today??
We had 70 degrees on Thursday and SNOW today!!!
What is up with this weather??
Afternoon all! Just got back from a productive meeting with my partner for an assignment, and I'm going to celebrate by taking a nap. ;) We're having beautiful weather right now, but I'm just too tired to go do anything outdoorsy at the moment. (My goodness, MM, I sure hope we're not in for snow after our 70 degree days! Here I've been rejoicing that spring has arrived; I think I'd cry if it snowed now!)
Oooh, is it your first time reading HaH, Josie? Enjoy! I cry every time I read it because it brings back so many wonderful memories (and also, at some parts, makes me sad I joined the fandom so late – just after HBP came out – because I feel like I missed out on so many other great memories).
helloooooooooo Leaky!
MM yeah, that is wacky weather!!!!!! I hope it'll melt soon since I imagine the ground has warmed up…!!
Jen I wouldn't mind returning here either. I haven't had a big problem with the smilies loading, but it's easier to type here. I usually don't use the "Postreply" option on the other site but then I only have a few of the codes memorized, and I get the codes for bold right less than half the time… but I like bolding the names, so then I choose Postreply and then I wait. :S Tho the smilies are cute… well at least most of them ;)
Yay for bowling! I like it a lot, but for some reason I haven't been in a while. I did try wii bowling and it took me a while to get used to it, but it was fun. Nothing like real bowling tho. ;) The HP group sounds fun…
I hope you do get to take a bit of a spring break, but that makes sense to keep working here and there. ;) And yay for a good meeting today!
Josie you've inspired me… sorry Jen I still haven't read HaH. I really should though… hmmmmmm…
I'll be lurking… :)
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! Jen!!!!!!!!!!!!! on your scholarship!!! That's awesome!!!!!! Not surprised at all!!!!!! :D
Congratulations on the scholarship, Jen. That is great. They give you that extra needed boost to keep yourself on track. Not only do you want the good grades for themselves, you want to keep the money.
Thanks, Huff and LH! I'm especially excited about this scholarship because it now means I am 100% definite for LeakyCon2011! I've been figuring I would probably be able to swing it, but this scholarship gave me the cushion I needed to comfortably set aside the LeakyCon money. If I get the GA position, I'll be in even better shape, so I've got my fingers crossed!
Huff, wii bowling had been the extent of my experience in quite a while…and although it's not the same as real bowling, I do think it helped me last night – it helped remind me to keep my wrist straight when releasing the ball. :)
I didn't end up taking a nap this afternoon, though I did lounge around. I can't even believe it, but I think I'm getting sick again. I thought I was at the tail-end of the cold I had last weekend. I seemed to be at that lingering, annoying cough stage, and now all of a sudden, today I feel like I'm back at the beginning, with a runny nose and tickley, itchy, sore throat. I'm hoping it's just that I'm run down from being out late last night and that a good night's sleep with take care of it. I'm going to be very annoyed if I'm actually starting a new cold! :|
I'm going to go try to pop in at the other site before I head to bed. Talk to you soon…
That is so awesome. Any little bit helps when getting an education. :)
Jen Congratulations on your scholorship and on your scholor-ship abilities. ;)
Jen, congratulations on getting the scholarship, especially for getting it on academic merit! That must be a huge confidence boost. It sounds like you are still really enjoying school, though I'm sorry you're not able to get much of a break. How's it going with the cooking at home? I am worried that your tendancy to catch colds may be from not eating properly? Do you get lots of Vitamin C? Sorry if I'm interfering!
We went bowling a couple of weeks ago. It's only the second time I've ever been, and I astonished my son by winning! Both the kids love playing bowling on the Wii. We've got the one with 100 pin bowling. It's funny to watch!!
The new site doesn't seem slow for me at all…… or not usually. But I am going to make more of an effort to come here regularly too.
Thanks, MM, Adella, Deanie, and asti!
asti, you're not interfering; thanks for being concerned! :) I still don't cook at home, and I am sure I don't eat as well as I should…but I'm not eating any worse than I have done in the past, and this year has definitely been the worst for colds. I'm thinking part of it is probably my nephews – now that two of them are in preschool, they're constantly catching stuff, and so, it seems, I am! My sisters have been catching stuff fairly often too, so that's why I'm thinking this is playing a big part; we just seem to keep passing it through the family! And as much as I love whining when I'm sick, I'll take a cold over the stomach bugs any day, so I really shouldn't complain too much! ;)
Jen, we had a cold that did that towards the end of last year………..we passed it around and around for months! Try and make sure you snack on lots of fruit. Do you still babysit a lot?
I don't babysit as much as I used to, because my youngest sister was finally able to switch her hours to mostly days, while my nephew's in school. But she's also taking classes on Tues & Thurs nights. My dad works every other day, so one week he's off Tues/Thurs, and the next week he works them, so we take turns by week on the babysitting. And if she gets scheduled on a weekend when my nephew's not with his father, I sometimes cover that. With my other sister, it's usually just every other week or so, when she and her husband just need to get out of the house for a few hours. :)
Aloha! ;)
Jen That's a pretty good schedule. You still get time with your nephews and your father gets time with his grandchildren, but neither of you are expected to be there full time. ;)
The good news is that we are getting a new roof, courtesy of the insurance company. The bad news is that they will probably either drop us or increase our premiums outrageously. ;)
I really hope it opens in April! I'm going to Universal Studios, Orlando April 8-15! I think I will cry if I have to look at Hogwarts castle from behind the gates. :(
Jen, you seem so close to your Dad and sisters. That sounds like a good balance; you still get to spend time with your nephews, but have enough time to study. I imagine that is not easy while watching toddlers! And they're so much fun at that age, arn't they! Your sisters are lucky to have you. I know how difficult it is to be a Mum with a job outside the home. I know I couldn't manage without my MIL, as much as she drives me up the wall!
Deanie, I'm sorry to hear you have roof problems too. Our insurance company wouldn't pay out for ours :(
accio.adventure, I've got my fingers crossed for you! Have a good trip.
Hi, Won, how are you getting on?
Hi Asti… I am getting stronger every day… The exhausting Physiotherapy has kicked my tail over the past week, and is the main reason I have not been visiting & posting online… The good news is that in another 2 weeks I will be totally weaned off the pain meds, and will be able to start flying again! I have missed flying terribly. I am glad to read that your son has been given a 'good bill' by his doctors, and is doing so well in school.
Good Morning Everybody!!!!! Happy Tuesday to ALL!!! I am so glad to hear that you are getting stronger, and feeling better every day Won_Two!!!
The RAIN here finally stoped this morning, but I do not know for how much longer, I don't want to believe this, but they are saying that it will RAIN again on Friday!!!! lol I am wishing everybody to have a SPECTACULAR DAY!!!!!
Mistic Willow I will hope that it is a warm, gentle rain. That would be better than cold, driving rain with the possibility of "wintry mix". ;)
Aloha! ;)
I'm hanging in here and I do have some things that need doing. ;)
Bbl. ;)
Asti, we have gotten closer over the last few years – it's mostly been since my sisters started having kids; we didn't get along at all growing up! And while I always got along pretty well with my dad, it was after my parents got divorced and my mom moved up to Maine that we really got closer; we do a lot of stuff, like movies, restaurants, etc. together, rather than having to go alone all the time. :)
Hi Won! Good to hear you're steadily improving. Two weeks should go by quickly; it'll be great when you can get back up in the air. :)
Your rain must have headed up to me, Mistic – it's pretty miserable out right now. But the temp isn't too bad, so as Deanie said, it's better than a cold, wintry mix!
I'm stuck at home for the rest of the day anyway, because I just found out that I have pink eye. :(
Je Be sure to wipe down your keyboard and all surfaces of electronics with alcohol or a mix of half and half water and alcohol. Use a dilute chlorine bleach mixture for all hard surfaces. Pinkeye is usually a staph infection and you do not want to reinfect yourself or infect others.
Sprays like Lysol only work on hard surfaces and only if you allow it to dry there and do not wipe it dry.
Be sure to launder all fabrics you come into contact with, including kitchen towels and sheets and pilowcases. Wash your sponges and try to put them in direct sun outside to dry so the UV rays can help sterilize them. If you wipe your eye area with tissues, be sure to take them out of the house every day. The bacteria can live on them for up to a week, more in a closed container. ;)
Pink eye is very contageous, try not to come into contact with your dad or any children until it clears up, not just until it feels better.
I know, all of that sounds alarmist, but some strains of staph are resistant to antibacterial agents like soaps and kitchen wipes.
My mother had to get 2 IVs of a very strong antibiotic every day for almost a year because she got one of the resistant strains of staph. She was stuck living with my sister and her family because of it. Each IV treatment took a couple of hours and all she could do during them was lie on the bed or try to sleep. ;)
Take care of yourself. ;)
Good evening!
Won, wow, that is a swift recovery, after all the time you've had to wait. I can imagine how much you're looking forward to it being all over. Where will you go on your celebratory first flight? And thankyou about my son!
Mistic, do you have any news on your house?
Jen, that sounds very like my sister and I. We wern't close at all while we were growing up, but get on really well now. There is an age difference of 5 1/2 years between us, so I don't think that helped. But, having said that, there are 6 1/2 years between my two children, and they get on very well. My son is so good with his little sister.
Pinkeye is conjunctivitis, yes?? Isn't it odd….. you seem to treat it far more seriously in the US than we do here. Unless it was a very bad case, we would just carry on as usual, just being a bit more aware of washing hands etc. I hope it doen't last long for you, Jen.
Deanie, that's a horrendous story. Your poor Mother. That must have been an awful infection. Did she recover fully after all the treatment?
hellooooooooo Leaky!
accio.adventure I hope they open in time and that you will have a great trip, whether or not HPpark is open!!
Jen bummer about the pinkeye… I hope it gets better soon! And that the cold didn't develop into something bigger…
asti yeah, pinkeye is big news here… I think if a child gets it, some (most?) school districts require a certain # of days away from school with proof that the eye (I mean, child) is being treated for it.
Hope the weather is improving for you, Jen and Mistic and Won! It's a bit chilly but with blueeeeeeee skies here, yeah! :) :)
Won here's hoping that your recovery will be smoooooooooth flying! :) No turbulence! :)
Wow, Deanie, that's awful! Thanks for the warnings; they're definitely more serious than what the doctor told me…perhaps she could tell mine is not a resistant strain? She just told me to wash my hands often, and to avoid contact with people until I've been on the eye drops for 24 hours (I'm pretty sure 24 hrs on medication is the standard for schools, too). It sounds like she's taking the UK approach! ;) I have been cautious about wiping down surface I come in contact with, but I was doing that anyway because of the cold. So hopefully I'll be okay.
Enjoy the blue skies, Huff! It's supposed to clear up here by tomorrow, so I'm hopeful. :)
I'm off to take a homework break to watch American Idol. I have my DVR taping it, so I wait until about a half hour in, and then I can start watching from the beginning, even as it's taping – that way, I can fast forward through commercials, and still finish around the normal end time. ;)

- 2 whole (4 split) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin-on
- 16 basil leaves
- Olive Oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled and large diced
- 2 red onions, chopped
- 2 red bell peppers, large diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 minced scallions, white and green parts
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh leaf parsley
- Sour cream, Cheddar and sliced lemons, for serving
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving one side attached. Place 4 basil leaves under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your hands, rub each piece with olive oil and sprinkle very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove the meat from the bones. Cut the chicken in large dice pieces and set aside.
Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large saute pan. Add the potatoes and onions, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until evenly browned and cooked through.
In a separate saute pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the red peppers, garlic, thyme, paprika, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the edges of the peppers are seared.
Add the chicken and the pepper mixture to the potatoes and heat through. Add the scallions and parsley, toss together and place on a serving platter.

As the economy rolls through its much-anticipated waves of expansion and contraction, portfolio managers tend to rotate money from some sectors to others depending upon what stage we are at in the cycle. The trick, obviously, is knowing where you are at in the cycle and how long that dynamic will continue before evolving into another stage.
In an article this morning, The Economist magazine addressed the length of the current recovery since the June 2009 recession trough at 42 months and whether or not job growth would have a chance to really get rolling before the expansion ended. They noted that since the end of World War II, the average expansion has lasted 58 months, with the longest being the decade from 1991 to 2001.
Since the 2001 to 2007 expansion is the fourth longest at 73 months, it seems the odds are slightly in our favor for this one to run a bit longer than 42 months. You would not think so if you simply listened to the Economic Cycle Research Institute whose analysis concludes that our economy has been in recession for over six months already.
But what if the behavior of institutional investors could predict the next recession better? We all know the cliche here that the market has successfully predicted 9 of the last 5 recessions. And the past 3 years of market corrections are proof of that.
Still, even if money rotating between sectors en masse isn't a good predictor of recession, it may still provide good swing trading opportunities. Below is the classic diagram of sector rotation within the economic cycle, as often touted by Sam Stovall of Standard & Poors.
One important theme that this analysis offers us is that while any given bull market and its associated economic expansion are definitely connected and feed off of each other, they are not necessarily tied at the hip.
In other words, we know that the bear market often bottoms before the recession does and the bull market can put in a top before the recovery peaks.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the cycle and sector rotation model is just that a rough guide to how the cycles tend to work, not a mechanical blueprint. As my colleague Kevin Matras reminds us...
"Each recession and recovery can look a bit different however with its own unique set of characteristics.
The most distinguishing thing from this bull market recovery and previous ones was the absenteeism of the housing market. That seems fitting given it was the imploding housing market that essentially caused the financial crisis and ensuing recession in the first place.
Unlike previous recoveries, the housing market was slow to respond this time around. And that, in turn, helped keep the economy growing at only 2-2.5% on average, rather than the more typical 4-5% as in recoveries past."
What else makes this recovery and bull market completely unique? Unprecedented monetary stimulus and record low interest rates for as far as the eye can see.
The arguments in favor of this bull cycle continuing and avoiding recession are numerous:
Housing resurgence
Resilient consumer
Record corporate profits, and cash reserves
QE Infinity
Low interest rates and low inflation
Technological innovation
Energy independence
Healthcare boom
China soft landing and new regime leaning toward stimulus
Steady growth that avoids boom-bust extremes (less excess = more shallow contractions)
The last idea is another conclusion from Kevin Matras.
Given this backdrop, I want to look at specific sector and index relationships to see if we can get some clues about the market's next moves. My assumption is that while it may be too difficult to figure out if the economy is poised to give corporate earnings a boost or a hiccup, we can at least follow trends in sector money flow to time our trades for the next quarter.
Relationship #1: Staples vs. Discretionary
Below is a 3-year weekly chart which plots a ratio of two sector ETFs against the S&P 500. The black and red line is the ratio of the SPDR Consumer Staples ETF (XLP) over the SPDR Consumer Discretionary ETF (XLY - ETF report).
The ratio line is black when Staples are rising relative to Discretionary, and it is red when the ratio is falling. Plotted behind is the corresponding movement of the broad index.
One thing that jumps out immediately is that when the broad market is headed into a correction, money pours into Staples at the expense of Discretionary. And when the market bottoms and turns upward, money flows the other way out of safety and into economically sensitive consumer areas.
As 2013 gets rolling, the ratio is below both troughs of 2012 and is flirting with levels not seen since the bull run tops of 2011. Note that all 3 of those prior lows were fairly solid indicators for a market turn lower. Now this may be merely a coincident indicator and not necessarily predictive.
But even for short-term swings in economic sentiment, it seems to make sense that money could move this quickly from safety to risk, and back, if there are genuine market concerns about a contraction.
Relationship #2: Utilities vs. Financials
Here we have a ratio SPDR XLU over XLF -- which should show signs of topping if the cycle were near the later stages of a bull market and economic expansion.
Why? Because safe Utilities would have been in demand and risky Financials shunned as the recovery peaks, interest rates rise, and mirages of recession are seen on the horizon.
Instead, we know the landscape is considerably different for a few reasons...
1. Financials had a great 2012 (top-performing sector near +25%) as Federal Reserve QE programs and low interest rates continue to give them support.
2. But the XLF is still down nearly 45% over 5 years while the S&P is inching out new 5-year highs.
3. Utilities had a fire sale relative to the market last year because of looming dividend tax increases.
Despite these exceptions, this is still a relationship to watch. If the ratio starts moving back toward 2.5, I would expect the market to be going the opposite direction. And a move back into utility stocks in Q1 and Q2 of 2013 would not surprise me at all.
The other big lesson here is that a brutally crushed sector eventually fights its way back in a bull market. Those investors waiting for their bank stocks like Citigroup, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs to regain their former glory could be waiting a few more years.
But playing the sector as a whole finally turned out to be a great idea as the XLF owned the top spot among sectors for 3, 6, and 12 months with these returns as of January 4:
3-months: 6.3%
6-months: 18.3%
1-year: 23.7%
Relationship #3: Industrials vs. Technology
This relationship is the least conclusive or foretelling, but it does offer a unique window on equity sectors that we may want to reference in the future.
Since Industrials and Technology can be subject to effects found on the early-stage end of market-economic cycles, we should not be surprised to see Industrials lead both advances and declines in this steady-as-she-goes bull market, full of fits and starts but generally trending higher.
The disconnect that stands out is the second half of this year when Industrials continued to lose ground against Tech after the spring swoon. Then they snapped back hard. A lot of this was due to Apple's parabolic rise from May to September and then its reversal as Tech in general saw a lowering of expectations.
The next turn lower in this ratio (money rotating away from Industrials and into Tech) could signal further weakness to come in the broad market as optimism about US manufacturing and the rebound in emerging markets wanes and Tech picks up an oversold, value bid.
But this is also one of those ratios that can go sideways as the S&P rallies, as the rising tide lifts all boats. Late 2010 and 2011 are proof of that tendency.
Relationship #4: Healthcare vs. Energy
Here's another one where you would expect a solid correlation like that of Staples vs. Discretionary, as one side speaks of safety and the other of growth.
The sector swings in 2010 and 2011 certainly bore this out. But 2012 was a much different tale for two reasons that flipped the conventional wisdom on its head.
First, the Energy sector is going through an amazing phase of technological efficiency colliding with vast new domestic supply. While crude oil spends most of the year under $100 per barrel, US exploration and production companies continue to exploit new sources of oil and gas with advanced drilling and recovery techniques like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (aka "fracking").
This perfect storm of geology and technology has seen North Dakota surpass the smallest OPEC member, Ecuador, in daily production, keeping a lid on oil prices and integrated margins.
Second, Healthcare in general has benefited from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, even while specific industries like health insurance stumble. Coverage for more Americans means higher revenues for hospitals and drug companies, especially with an aging boomer population in need of more care.
The reason we want to keep an eye on these two sectors is for a possible reversion to the mean. As I write today, oil prices are holding their own over $90 per barrel for the first time in many weeks. If there is one sector that could play some catch-up next year, it could be Energy.
Sector vs. Sector is Built on Industry vs. Industry
In any of these relationships, which sectors the money comes from and flows to is not always easy to figure out at first. But with investors spending most of the fourth quarter of 2012 trying to anticipate the tax and spending policies which would impact their favorite sectors the most, the first quarter of 2013 could be where big direction changes happen and new relationships are in focus.
Another window to get an early gauge on sector movement is the Zacks Industry Rank, which classifies over 250 industries and ranks them according to the earnings momentum of their constituent stocks.
If you look at the top 50 to 75 industries in the Zacks Industry Rank, you can get a good idea of where the earnings momentum strength is. Right now, you should not be surprised to see strength represented here by consumer companies (both staples and discretionary), construction industries, medical/healthcare industries, and financial companies.
When we see leadership change hands here, it's a good sign that a shift is taking place in broader sectors too.
Bottom line: No matter which way the indexes go, there will be solid relative value plays between the sectors to take advantage of once the trends are identified or turning.

BMA: Older cancer patients must get 'care and respect'
The British Medical Association (BMA) has said the profession must "guarantee" that older cancer patients "are treated with care and respect" after claims some are denied treatment solely on their age.
– Dr Mark Porter, the BMA's chairman of council
It is important that all healthcare professionals ensure that patients are treated on the basis of their clinical need.
With an increasingly ageing population, it should be a key part of medical professionalism to guarantee that older patients are treated with the care and respect they deserve.

On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs selected former Memphis Tigers defensive tackle Dontari Poe with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Poe was projected to be selected in the middle of the first round and was ranked as the No. 5 defensive tackle in this year's draft, according to Mocking the Draft.
Poe is expected to need very little work to become NFL-ready. He needs to improve on the pass rush but is incredibly impressive when stuffing runs. He is incredibly strong, with good hands.
In his collegiate career, Poe put up 101 total tackles, 57 of which were unassisted. He also had five sacks and four forced fumbles.

Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules. In this case, "indefinitely" really means "indefinitely" - Baylor coach Art Briles said during his Big 12 Media Days appearance on Monday that he had no idea how long Gordon would be gone.
Briles was asked how long Gordon might be out.
"I have no idea," Briles said. "Indefinitely might mean this afternoon, it might mean 10 years from now."
We still don't know what Gordon did, but this isn't his first offense. He was arrested in October for misdemeanor marijuana possession after being found out cold in the drive-thru of a Taco Bell.
Gordon was establishing himself as a tall receiver with big-play potential. He had 714 yards receiving in 2010, including two touchdowns and a 94-yard reception against Kansas and a 141-yard game against Kansas State. He's also likely to emerge as a terrific NFL Draft prospect. If his suspension were to drag on through the season, residents of the state of Kansas might be happy, but Baylor fans probably wouldn't, because he has plenty of upside this season. Baylor has a tough opening matchup against TCU on September 2.

Outstanding performances on Saturday earned three Shelbyville athletes honors: Madsion Boone and Brandy Smith of the Lady Ram volleyball team and Morgan Powers of Lady Rams cross country.
Boone and Smith led the Shelbyville Lady Rams to the title game of the Shelby Invite on Saturday, before losing to Edwards County. They were both named to the all-tourney team.
Boone swung for a team-high 35 kills and rose up for a team-leading 15 blocks for a total of 50 net points in the five tourney matches.
Smith was equally productive on offense, swinging for 31 kills. She added four blocks for 35 net points. Smith also had a team-high 30 digs and led Shelby with six service aces.
Meanwhile, at the Shelby Trail Invite at Forest Park, Powers was finishing among the leaders in the varsity girls race. Powers finished 3rd behind her older teammate and a 3-time state champ. Powers ran a 19:28 just three seconds behind 2nd place. Powers, a sophomore, cut over 2:00 off her time from last year.
