Defense stocks are surging Tuesday. Something about a presidential election and a cliff of some sort. Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Honeywell (HON) are trading at fresh multi-year highs today. L-3 Communications (LLL) is at a 52-week high.
I'd simply point out House Speak John Boehner's comments this week about a "bridge," one that could save certain huge defense contractors' bacon. From National Journal yesterday:
House Speaker John Boehner doesn't expect a grand bargain avoiding the fiscal cliff to materialize in a lame duck session of Congress, but that doesn't mean the country is headed over the edge. Instead, Boehner said Sunday, he thinks Congress and the White House will find a way to punt the looming deadlines on the debt ceiling, the Bush tax cuts and the budget sequester into 2013.
"Lame ducks aren't noted for doing big things. And frankly I'm not sure that lame ducks should do big things. So the most likely outcome would be some type of a bridge," Boehner said in an interview withNational Journal Sunday, aboard a campaign bus taking him around Ohio in a final sprint before Election Day.
The PowerShares Aerospace & Defense Portfolio (PPA) is up 2.7% to touch its highest intraday price since June 2008, according to FactSet Research Systems. The SPDR S&P Aerospace & Defense ETF (XAR) hit its own fresh high last week.

Drugmakers Lose Fight Over Cheap Medicines in Europe
April 26, 2010
Drug companies have lost a legal battle against schemes promoted by Britain''s state health service that encourage doctors to prescribe cheaper medicines, according to Reuters. The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI), representing dozens of pharmaceutical firms, argued that National Health Service prescribing incentive schemes were an illegal inducement under strict European rules on drug promotion. But the European Court of Justice ruled they were in compliance with European Union advertising legislation. Under such schemes, British medical practices are rewarded for switching patients to cheap unpatented drugs or prescribing them to new patients who would otherwise have got a more expensive patented medicine. Individual doctors who share in the profits of medical practices could ultimately benefit from such financial incentives, prompting drugmakers to argue that they breached a EU ban on financial incentives for drug prescribing. The court decided the prohibition could not apply to national public health authorities that have the responsibility of controlling public expenditure. The ABPI said it was disappointed by the ruling, which did not follow an earlier opinion of the European Advocate-General.

I did not care for this recipe. I think it may have been a lot better if cooked on the stove. I found the green beans to be too rubbery when cooked in the microwave.

This is a good, easy, healthy, and pretty recipe. The vegetables are fresh and retain a lot of their nutrients.

Revolutionary Closed System Drug Transfer Device
University of Iowa, 2008 - $18,000
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that 5.5 million healthcare workers (pharmacists, nurses, technicians, and others) are exposed to toxic chemotherapy pharmaceuticals in the workplace. NIOSH confirms the health risks from these exposures include cancers, liver/kidney damage, infertility, miscarriages, birth defects, and congenital malformations. Independent research shows current products fall short in addressing all the market needs, with many users complaining current devices are: ineffective at eliminating exposure, difficult to use, error-prone, inefficient, and costly.
This E-Team, incorporated as J & J Solutions, is an emerging medical device company that has developed innovative technology to optimize safety, increase efficiency, and reduce the cost of preparing and administering chemotherapy pharmaceuticals. Hospital pharmacies and oncology clinics create a $500 million U.S. market potential, with a current market opportunity near $100 million and growing over 20% annually. The Company has pending patents, working product, proven technology, strong management, and commitments from cancer centers across the country.

WAUTOMA (WAOW) - The Waushara County Sheriff's Department said Monday that a 23-year Marshall woman died and five other people were seriously hurt in a single-vehicle crash that closed a portion of Interstate 39 for hours last weekend.
Lt. Jeff Nett said the crash that killed Mayra Isabell Davila occurred when a sports utility vehicle drifted off the highway and rolled over in the median. The accident happened about 6 a.m. Saturday in the Township of Coloma.
The four men and two women in the 2001 Lincoln SUV were thrown from the vehicle, Nett said.
The occupants, all from southern Wisconsin, ranged in age from 18 to 24, and investigators believe they were were not wearing seat belts, Nett said.
The people hurt were in serious condition Monday in hospitals in Neenah, Marshfield and Madison, Nett said.
Nett said it was unclear who was driving the vehicle. Emergency crews reported smelling alcohol in treating the injured, Nett said.
"We understand they were heading back to Madison," Nett said.
The southbound lanes of I-39 were closed for about four hours immediately after the crash, he said.

If you're 55 to 64 years old, CoRI can give you an instant estimate of the retirement income your current savings may provide.
Learn how CoRI can help you plan for retirement.
CoRI is designed specifically for 55 to 64 year olds because the required calculations for each CoRI Retirement Index include life expectancy.
Visit BlackRock's Retirement Center for actions investors of all ages can take to better prepare for retirement.
For more information visit the CoRI Index methodology site.
How does CoRI work?
CoRI is powered by CoRI Retirement Index levels which are calculated daily using 5 factors.Starting Level Inflation Risk Interest Rates Life Expectancy
Shows an estimate of what you need to have saved today for each dollar of annual retirement income starting at age 65, lasting as long as you live, and including a cost-of-living adjustment.
At age , CoRI estimates you need $ saved today to generate each dollar of annual retirement income starting at age 65.
Enter your current retirement savings so CoRITM can show you the estimated annual retirement income your current savings may provide.
Retirement savings includes:
Make your best estimate.
Estimated annual retirement income is the amount of money your savings may provide every year in retirement starting at age 65, lasting as long as you live, and including a cost-of-living adjustment. It is calculated by dividing your current retirement savings by your CoRI Index level today.
When planning for retirement income using CoRI, consider the amount of money you expect to need every year in retirement for essential expenses like:
Not sure what you'll need in retirement? Use our Retirement Expense Worksheet.
At age with in savings, CoRI estimates that your annual retirement income starting at age 65 would be .
Here are three scenarios that may help you invest today to meet your future retirement income goals.
Your desired annual retirement income is the amount of income you'd like to receive each year in retirement.
Did CoRI estimate that your current retirement savings may provide more income than you would like? If so, reduce your current retirement savings until your estimated annual retirement income equals your desired annual retirement income.
The three sample portfolios illustrate the effect of different investment strategies on your ability to meet your desired retirement income goals. These sample portfolios were selected to represent diversified investment strategies consistent with typical risk tolerances of investors in pre-retirement.
These portfolio illustrations are for informational purposes only and do not represent actual investments or accounts. These scenarios assume you are investing your total current retirement savings and additional annual savings in the sample portfolios shown.
Additional annual savings is how much money in excess of your current retirement savings you would need to save each year until you turn 65 in order to meet your desired annual retirement income goal.
Including CoRI™ exposure in your portfolio may narrow your retirement income range, which could increase the probability of meeting your income goal, and may reduce the additional amount you would need to save from now until retirement.
Talk to your advisor about how CoRITM can help you plan for retirement.
Estimated annual income:
Desired annual income:
With a Conservative portfolio, you could save an additional every year until you turn 65, and your annual retirement income could fall between - .
With a Moderate portfolio, you could save an additional every year until you turn 65, and your annual retirement income could fall between - .
With a Moderate with CoRI exposure portfolio, you could save an additional every year until you turn 65, and your annual retirement income could fall between - .

Sample Portfolio Scenarios - Assumptions and Methodology:
Additional Annual Savings
The additional required savings is derived by calculating the savings rate that will make your estimated annual retirement income equal your desired annual retirement income, within the range shown, at age 65. This calculation considers your current retirement savings, the assumed return of the sample portfolio, and the assumed return of additional annual savings over time. The assumed return of the sample portfolio is calculated using each applicable asset class's assumed return as set forth below (see Long-term Capital Market Assumptions).
Annual Retirement Income Range
The annual retirement income range is derived by growing your current retirement savings and additional annual savings over time by the assumed return of the sample portfolio in order to calculate a minimum, maximum, and average projected portfolio balance at age 65. The minimum and maximum balances reflect the assumed volatility (risk) of the applicable asset classes in the sample portfolio (see Long-term Capital Market Assumptions). The annual retirement income range is derived by dividing these three projected portfolio balances by the CoRI Retirement Index level that corresponds to your age, and applying a 68% confidence level, which reflects an assumption that your estimated annual retirement income at age 65 is expected to fall within the range shown +/-1 standard deviation. Standard deviation is a statistical measure used to estimate how dispersed calculation results are, in relation to an average or expected value.

BlackRock typically reviews the assumptions quarterly. These assumptions are subject to change as subsequent conditions vary, are not a prediction of future results and are subject to inherent limitations. "Assumed" return and risk estimates are subject to uncertainty and error. For example, changes in the historical data from which it is estimated will result in different implications for asset class returns. Assumed returns for each asset class are conditional on an economic scenario; actual returns in the event the scenario comes to pass could be higher or lower, as they have been in the past, so an investor should not expect to achieve returns similar to the analysis shown herein.
This information should not be relied upon as investment advice, research, or a recommendation by BlackRock regarding (i) the use or suitability of the indexes or (ii) any security in particular. Investors should consult their financial advisor to evaluate their investment needs.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
The CoRI Retirement Indexes and data are subject to change. Data shown is for informational purposes only and does not represent an actual account.

Actual investment outcomes may vary. Although the CoRI tool provides an estimate of the amount of money you need today for every dollar of annual income you want in retirement, this estimate is not a guarantee.

Rockbridge County Emergency Services Coordinator Robert Foresman says the man was taken to Carilion Stonewall Jackson Hospital after crews removed him around 11 p.m. Monday.
He fell from a rock in the Petites Gap area hours earlier.
The hunter has serious injuries, a possible dislocated shoulder and cuts to his head. The remote and rocky location made the rescue difficult.
Update 9:20 p.m.
Rockbridge County Emergency Management Coordinator Robert Foreseman says crews have located the hunter and he is receiving treatment for his injuries.
Crews continue to work to remove the man, and according to Foresman, the reason for the length of the rescue is due to the "remote and rocky" location.
Emergency crews are working to locate an injured hunter who fell from a rock in the Petites Gap area of Rockbridge County Monday afternoon.
According to Rockbridge County Emergency Management Coordinator Robert Foresman, the hunter has serious injuries but they aren't believed to be life-threatening.
Foresman said because of the rocky, remote location of the accident, crews are still working to reach the hunter.
We'll have more information as it becomes available.

I never thought that I would be trapped in so many whirlwinds of stressful thoughts about where I'm taking my life. There are so many different options to choose from, and so many decisions that have to be made. I feel like I am falling into an endless pit, awaiting my final decision that will inevitably lead me into the unknown that is my future.
Pressure much?
I have spent much of the last two years struggling about where I am going in life. I make one decision and then change my mind not even a week later. I make another decision and then change my mind again. I realize now that the reason why I always changed my mind was because I let my nerves choose for me.
There are so many things that leave me out of my comfort zone. I am not the type of girl who willingly challenges herself by walking into something blind. I am afraid of what could be, and I realize now that those nerves have constantly landed me where I was in a clueless state for so long. I used to think that I would never allow myself to do things that were out of my comfort zone.
Acknowledging the fact, I decided to take a stand for myself. Pushing my nerves and fears aside, I looked into colleges that would benefit me. Even though I am nervous about going away for college (or the whole college experience in general), I am taking the opportunity to make something of myself and my writing. Am I afraid? Of course I am. But after talking to a lot of people regarding college, I have come to the conclusion that I will be more upset for not taking a chance that could lead me in a great direction, than allowing fear to overpower going to college and starting something new.

Meteorologist Geoff Fox, who was let go Friday by Fox CT for "inappropriate conduct," is asking his former employer to reconsider that decision.
In a blog posted Sunday night, Fox admits to the conduct and asks for a second chance.
"I know my former bosses in Hartford and Chicago will see this," he writes on his blog, ' My Permanent Record.'
"I am on my knees begging you reconsider your decision and please take me back. I am asking for another chance," he wrote.
Fox was fired after transcripts of conversations of a sexual nature he had with a woman surfaced on the Internet. The private messages were sent through Facebook, and it's not clear how they were made public.
"I had no idea this private conversation would be made public, but what I did was still wrong even if it had remained private," Fox said.
"This is a very difficult time for my family. I betrayed a trust with my wife and daughter which won't be mended quickly. I have made promises to them I intend to keep," he said.
Following his firing from WTNH, where he worked for decades, his fans have been vocal in their support of him and their opposition to Fox CT's decision to let him go.
"...what EVER happened, this is your PERSONAL life….and it is not for any of us to judge or quite frankly to be privy to," one blog reader commented. "What you did was wrong, but in turn, whomever felt the need to destroy you, your family, your fans, your friends by making your private life public, without your consent is far more amoral."
Fox has been married for many years to his wife Helaine and they have a grown daughter.

The letter, which was signed by all seven council members and Mayor Jack Scott, was in regard to a permit request from Gunner Reilly Corp.
"This letter is to inform you the Mayor and Council of the City of Cordova has voted not to allow any mining of coal, clay or other products by the strip method of mining in any district or place situated in the corporate limits of the City of Cordova," the letter begins.
The second paragraph refers to an ordinance passed by the council in 2000 that prohibits mining in the city limits.
"We want this ordinance fully enforced," the letter states.
In other action:
•The council held a public hearing and approved a zoning change to allow St. James Church to build a new place of worship at 210 Stevens Street. The change also received the approval of the Cordova Planning Commission following a public hearing on June 26.
•The council voted to accept the resignation of a full-time police officer and hired a replacement.
•Fire chief Dean Harbison announced that his department recently received a $58,255 Fire Prevention and Safety grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. Harbison said he intends to use the funds to buy reflective address signs for homeowners within the department's jurisdiction, an electric sign for the fire station and fire prevention materials to be distributed to schoolchildren and the public.
•Scott said the city has received permission to use leftover grant funds from a recently completed sidewalk project to extend the sidewalks to all three schools.
•Scott announced that City Hall will be closed from 8 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, July 17, to allow for electrical work to be completed.
•Scott reminded residents interested in running for office that the deadline to qualify is July 17 at 5 p.m.
•Scott said state law prohibits candidates from placing signs on state rights of way and that the practice is also not allowed on city rights of way.
After conflicting reports on whether a city ordinance had ever been adopted, council member Drew Gilbert suggested that the council adopt one regulating the use of political, business and other signs.

When you think about farmers, what do you picture?
For many, the word likely conjures images of a middle-aged man in overalls driving a tractor.
Quint Pottinger is not that farmer.
Recently, Pottinger was named an agriculture Champion of Change by the White House and U.S. Department of Agriculture for his efforts to grow the next generation of farmers, his initiatives and his involvement in state agricultural organizations.
It's been said that each summer seems shorter than the last.
And even though the days on the calendar don't really get any fewer, feeling that they go by in the blink of an eye is understandable.
It seems like only days ago that local high school seniors went to prom and crossed the stage to get their diplomas. We wish them best of luck at college or the workplace.
Students at Kentucky Christian Academy went back to class on Tuesday and Campbellsville and Taylor County students once again grazed their hallways starting Wednesday.
Imagine you run a company and once a month you must cast a net for a new pool of temporary workers. You send letters and notify potential hires to report for a meeting, where they will learn if they make the final cut. They could miss time at their regular jobs, and they would be paid only $12.50 a day for the special assignment at your company.
CKNJ Editorial Board
The past week has been full of celebration. And what a celebration it was.
With perfect weather, thousands of people came to Taylor County last week for our annual Fourth of July celebration.
The events spanned a week, from singings and concerts to parades to games to food to hot air balloons to fireworks.
But throughout the celebration, the feeling that we were all free to enjoy the holiday is one we're sure everyone felt.
About 1.6 million students will graduate from college this year, according to The National Center for Education Statistics. They will be searching for full-time work, but the odds are stacked against them. Although the job market is improving, competition is fierce and jobs are scarce and the U.S. Labor Department says unemployment among 2013 graduates is still high at 10.9 percent. In addition to those concerns, college graduates are saddled with student loan debt - it has passed the trillion-dollar mark - and often credit card debt.
Today's issue of the Central Kentucky News-Journal is a gift from us to you.
We at the CKNJ want you, the members of our community, to know that we are dedicated to providing you the news you want and need to read.
As such, we give our community a free sample of that news every few months. We want you to know what you're missing if you don't subscribe or buy our paper on the newsstand.
The CKNJ is truly your paper. With a small staff, we can't be everywhere and don't know about everything going on in our community.
The 2014 General Assembly session is all but wrapped up. The regular session ended with a two-week break, and the members returned on April 14 and 15 to address any potential vetoes by the governor and tie up loose ends.
There were some successes in this legislative session, but also just as many disappointments as legislators wrangled with some tough issues while ignoring others.
CKNJ Editorial Board
The building, crumbling before our eyes, won't be there much longer. And, as sad as it might seem to see something of such history destroyed, our community will be better off with it gone.
Central Kentucky Motor Lodge, that once gave people who needed it a place to stay, will soon become a pile of rubble.
After fires and years of decay, the building's owner has acknowledged that it's time to see it torn down. We agree.

(WRCB) -- Hamilton County restaurant inspectors hit the streets again this week but these environmental health specialists were busy visiting area pools and school cafeterias instead of restaurants.
They have a lot to check out in Hamilton County, but they did manage to visit about 17 restaurants and no failing grades to report. Remember a grade of anything below 70 fails.
However the low score can be found at El Matador on Lee Highway in Ooltewah. Inspectors found sour cream out of temperature, employees were not sanitizing utensils properly, cutting boards need replacing and the inside of the freezer that needs a good cleaning. El Matador scores a 75.
With the low comes the high and we say congratulations to Pork Chops Bar and Grill on Ringgold Road and Five Guys Burger and Fries on Hixson Pike for scoring a 94....great job!
If you have a complaint or question about a restaurant, health club, school or daycare, call the Hamilton County Health Department hot line at209-8110.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your meal.

Frozen Almond-Cream Desserts Recipe
- 3/4 cup ground almonds
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 12 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup fat-free milk
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 cups sliced peeled peaches
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- In a small bowl, combine almonds and butter. Press onto the bottom of 12 paper- or foil-lined muffin cups. Cover and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Cook over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved; set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually beat in milk and extract. Stir in gelatin mixture. Spoon into muffin cups; freeze until firm.
- Remove desserts from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Place the sauce ingredients in a blender; cover and process until pureed. Spoon onto dessert plates. Peel liners off desserts; invert onto peach sauce. Yield: 12 servings.
Sweet White Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.
Reviews for Frozen Almond-Cream Desserts
Sort By :
Substituted Raspberry Smucker Simply Fruit thinned with pure maple syrup for peach sauce. Let it defrost until its a little soft. It's delicious.
I liked them, except for the almonds. I will use a graham wafer or chocolate cookie base next time. I served them with the base down in a sherbet dish and drizzled chocolate on top. Refreshing!
I ended up with chunks of gelatin in my almond cream. I would have tried the recipe again to see if I could get the lumps out, but the almond and peach combo just didn't work for me (taste-wise).
Hi Norma, I too live alone. If made in a muffin tin then the servings may be consummed one at a time. Also, when it comes to the math, try halfing all of the ingredients and making a half batch. It tends to be easier that way.
this recipe can be made even healthier by using Stevia or Splenda instead of sugar! Roast your own raw almonds, dont use salted ones too!

Apparently we're not the only ones tired of Charlie Sheen. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, Ashton Kutcher issued a public plea to Sheen: "Dude, shut the f*** up," Kutcher said as he looked straight into the camera. "Like, enough already. Like it's three years later and you're still blowing me up on Twitter. Come on, dude! Really?"
By "three years later," he means it's been about three years since Sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men and replaced by Kutcher. Turns out Kutcher wasn't kidding about the tweets — Sheen posted this gem Jan. 6:
hey Ashton
sorry bro
all good.
now quit barfing
on my old
brilliant show.
how duz it feel?
c harp twitpic.com/drg2x5—
Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) January 06, 2014
His "old brilliant show." You hear that, Ashton? You totally ruined the genius of Two and a Half Men. Also, what's up with the Woody Allen mugshot? But watching Kutcher's plea seemed to inspire a change of heart in Sheen, as he tweeted this Thursday:
message received.
so sorry
u sounded like me!
well done!
my bad
I was
pissed at other crap
& took it out on you.
hope u r good
Charlie Sheen (@charliesheen) February 06, 2014
How sweet, with an "xox" and all.

Research Summary:
Currently we are working on two research programs, namely, natural products chemistry and chemical proteomics.
Uncovering Hidden Potential of Natural Products: Long-known natural products with plain chemical structures can surprise us with remarkable biological activities. In order to uncover hidden potential of natural products, we established a screening protocol called "Biomarker-guided screening", which permits the identification of previously overlooked biological activities of natural products. Our current focus is the application of this screening to immunostimulatory herbal medicine.
Drug Target Identification using Benzophenone Photoprobes: Photoaffinity-labeling is a powerful approch to identify cellular binding targets of small organic molecules. Identification of new proteins targeted by small molecules is important because it opens up new opportunities for therapeutic intervention of various diseases using small molecules. In this research program, benzophenone photoprobes of various natural products, including ginkgolide, immunostimulatory lipids, etc., are prepared to identify their binding targets in cells.

May: 'Now is not the time to be calling for the arming of police'
The Home Secretary has defended the practise of British police remaining unarmed.
Theresa May said; "We're clear we have a British model of policing, that is the one our police very much support. I think that routine unarmed policing that goes on our streets is right. I don't think this is the time for us to be calling for the arming of police."

West Lafayette — Purdue University scientists are helping with an effort to save Indiana's shrinking populations of a giant amphibian called the hellbender.
Hellbenders are North America's largest salamander, growing to between 1 and 2 feet long with flat green or brown wrinkled bodies. They are long-lived, spending up to 30 years under flat rocks in rivers and streams across Appalachia and adjacent regions.
But surveys starting in 1998 show that the animal that's also known as a "devil dog" and "old lasagna sides" is on the decline in southern and east-central parts of Indiana where populations exist.
Purdue scientists are part of a national group trying to save the species. Last month they released eight juvenile hellbenders in southern Indiana that were fitted with radio transmitters to track their movements and survival.

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

That's because back then, school started the first full week of September, and my nose would be on a collision course with the grindstone.
No more baseball, all day bike rides, swimming in Horse Creek, or camping. The good times were over until May.
In those days, I knew Labor Day was approaching without ever looking at a calendar. You could tell by the angle, and quality of the sunlight.
The sumac bushes turned the color of a Strawberry Nehi, and ripe persimmons as big as golf balls fell from the tree at the edge of our yard. Stepping on a ripe persimmon barefooted made pulp squish up between your toes and you'd have to dig the goop out with a stick and wash your feet with a hosepipe.
Toward the end of August, you could hear tree frogs and cicadas singing in the trees. Even though the droning songs were soothing, I knew those sounds were harbingers.
Before long, those summer sounds would be replaced by school bells, and the sound of gym shoes squeaking on hardwood floors.
The familiar summer scents of pine, fresh cut grass, and leather baseball gloves would be replaced by the smells of new books, cedar pencil shavings, and linseed oil which janitors used to treat the wooden floors in the old school.
The carefree feelings of summer had to be stowed until the following spring, and for me, I had to get down to business.
My mama didn't play when it came to grades. I could buckle down and study or I could spend my life with less freedom than a prisoner serving life without parole in Holman Prison.
Labor Day was a significant day for many of the older folks around me. It was a day set aside to honor those who got their hands dirty while laying the foundation and building the backbone of America.
It was often dangerous, backbreaking work building cities, roads, bridges, and railroads. And for the most part, the people doing the work received very little compensation.
Labor Day was their day.
When I was about fourteen, my dad built a cabin on the Warrior River and that's where we celebrated every Labor Day.
During the summer we baited trotlines with nightcrawlers (huge earthworms), and caught boatloads of white, blue, and bullhead catfish that we stored in the freezer.
When Labor Day rolled around, we feasted on catfish, along with burgers, dogs, and chicken cooked over a cinder-block grill in the yard.
After lunch, we'd all water ski until our tired legs felt like rubber. I think we all wanted to get every last second of freedom before saying goodbye to summer.
The hard part about going back to school, was the anticipation. Once classes started, it was fun seeing all my old friends which made the transition back into captivity easier.
Football helped ease the pain, and then Halloween along with the other holidays, was just around the corner.
I feel a little sad for kids today who start back to school with so much summer left. The days are still a hundred degrees, and the cicadas haven't finished singing their song.
Happy Labor Day.

Maxwell's--one of the very first stops on the Indie rock circuit--closes up shop this July. In business since 1978, the Hoboken nightspot has hosted bands all the way from indie mainstays like Yo La Tengo and the Feelies and Husker Du and the Replacements to unlikelies like Blue Oyster Cult. But when their lease ends at the end of July, so do they.
Unlike their punkish forefather across the Hudson, CBGB, Maxwell's wasn't entirely done in by gentrification, although that undoubtedly had a part in it. Hoboken--once only famous for Sinatra--had gone from being a very cheap Big Apple alternative to another pricey borough. Mostly, the issues were parking (which had become impossible) and general malaise. Given that the place will have made 35 years in business, that's a good run.
Whatever takes its place will have nowhere near the same effect. But it's telling that club management says that their actual competition in Hoboken came more from sports bar and "big screen TV's".
That isn't the only reason. Let's get real here--tastes have changed and indie rock is not the music of choice among the most prized demo of club goers, folks 21-28. When I was bouncing at Bottom of the Hill and the Kilowatt in the mid 90's, I noticed that while carding patrons, the number of habitues over 30 was rarely over 10%. This is 2013--the average clubgoer now was born in 1987, which means that by the time they came of age, most of what they'd heard was hip hop and techno. Rock hasn't been a sizable player in radio listener demo (outside of oldies) for years. A 24 or 25 year old now has been into Electronic Dance Music for maybe 10 years and its reach has expanded as it has replaced or become a hybrid with hip hop as dominant pop music. The idea of a band with guitars is, well, quaint (and banjos and uke's even quainter, and now commercially viable--who says "folk" is dead?). However much I'd like to think that the "Beatles set up" (two guitars, bass, drums) would live forever--nothing does.
The Maxwell's of the world cannot compete with DJ's. The latter are solo acts whose music is immediately accessible. They're cheaper and the relentless and steady flow of beats mean dancing feet and drinking faces. Clubs love that. They do not love five bands jousting for 40 minute sets, changeovers, audiences fleeing and complete indifference--who can blame them?
Everything that lives has to die. I played Maxwell's once, in 1984. Good place. Played a zillion other places that are now gone, from CB's to the Rat to Raji's to Nightbreak--and it doesn't pain me to say that they're gone. They're rooms--what counts is the music and the people. Mourning the Mabuhay or the I-Beam or Max's Kansas City or the Satyricon or Off Ramp is silly. They, like Maxwell's, are alive in your memories just like the clubs the EDM fans go to now will live in theirs. Viva le whatever, OK?
Djs have even replaced rock bands in rock venues...
I miss going to a bar, a real bar, it can be a dive or just a neighborhood place, somewhere that doesn't cost a arm and a leg. Good live music or a really good juke box, Bob Seger which seems to me official bar music. Cold Beer, draft beer, good drinks, nothing fancy or trendy, just a bar.
It can have TV, baseball, football or basket ball, pinball, pool table it space permits, but do miss the table shuffle board.
I want a wide age mix, don't care it is a Gay bar or straight bar, just somewhere to drink, meet with friends, make new friends and have a good laugh.
No more wine bars, trendy hip bars, night clubs that play loud music that drives you nuts.
I have quarters in my pockets, dollars for tips, and a thirst for a cold brew.
Back in my Hoboken days, I gave up on it fairly early.

Justin Rose among early challengers at BMW PGA Championship
5:55pm Thursday 24th May 2012 in Golf By Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter
JUSTIN Rose made a blistering start in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth today.
The Hampshire ace shot five-under par round the West Course to put himself one behind the early leaders.
Rose came within inches of moving into a tie for first place, only to see his birdie putt at the last stop just short.
The former North Hants member was four-under by the turn, birdieing two, four, five and seven.
He picked up another shot at the par three tenth, before giving one back immediately at the next hole.
But a birdie three at 16 took him to five-under once again.
Rose, who is grouped with defending champion Luke Donald and Alvaro Quiros, is due to start his second round at 8.15am tomorrow.
Read Justin Rose's reaction to his opening round at the BMW PGA Championship in tomorrow's Daily Echo.

Welcome to Ahimsa House
In families affected by domestic violence, pets are also at risk. Abusers threaten, injure, and kill family pets to terrorize others in the home--yet most domestic violence shelters are unable to allow pets to accompany their owners to safety. Nearly 50% of individuals delay escaping the abuse because of concern about their pets. Ahimsa House, meaning "nonviolence," is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing the links between domestic violence and animal abuse. Anywhere in Georgia and at no charge, Ahimsa House provides emergency pet safehousing, veterinary care, pet-related safety planning, legal advocacy, a 24-hour crisis line, outreach programs, and other services to help the human and animal victims of domestic violence reach safety together.
Ahimsa House serves all victims of domestic violence regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or immigration status.

---- — Traffic patrols
TO THE EDITOR: The letter from a New Hampshire woman who insisted she was targeted by State Police for speeding because she was from out of state reminded me to write a long-overdue letter.
My company, Luck Brothers Inc. of Plattsburgh, is a contractor specializing in bridge replacement. We currently are working on a highly visible project on I-87 just north of Exit 38 in Plattsburgh.
On a recent ride through the project, I noticed several vehicles pulled over. I thought to myself that I keep forgetting to publicly thank State Police for doing their job so well on interstate construction projects.
In our history with the Ray Brook Traffic Unit, we have found the officers to be consummate professionals and nice people. Most folks realize that construction is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but few understand that the vast majority of injuries and deaths are traffic related. Plainly put, State Police are helping to save the lives of our workers every day they are out there slowing the public down on restricted traffic projects.
The average driver just doesn't understand the impact of 70-mph speed and the lack of reaction time in a construction zone. That is why people die. Police are simply there to remind them.
What is an inconvenience for some is an absolute necessity for those in our industry. Understandably, the state has a limited budget for the hours spent by troopers on construction projects, and my employees wish they had a lot more.
State Police provide other construction services, often on only a few days notice. My industry is always grateful for the help and cooperation provided by New York State Police.
The guys at Luck Brothers just want to offer a personal "high five" and a big thank you.
Good Samaritan
TO THE EDITOR: I'm realizing more than ever that I live in a fabulous area — the beautiful natural resources of Lake Champlain, our wondrous Adirondack Mountains, just to name two.
We have a unique mix of population as well. I read and enjoy my local paper, and there are at times some favorable comments. I would like to add mine.
My car was hit by someone in the public parking lot off Court Street while I was at work. When I came out of work and saw my car, I was furious.
I went to the Plattsburgh Police Department to file a report. I was informed that a good Samaritan had witnessed someone hit my car. This person took the time to go back inside and asked them to call the police. She chose to do the right thing, and I am so grateful.
Maybe she will be returning at some time to this office, and there is a grateful thank you for her.
IRS folks
TO THE EDITOR: All is OK with Obamacare.
The IRS folks will run it fair.
'Less you confess,
You're with Mitt or the press,
Then you'll have to cover your derriere.

Munir Sheikh
Munir Sheikh had not given much thought to his future plans before resigning from the Government of Canada on July 21. That quickly changed, though, after he received a phone call from the director of the Queen's School of Policy Studies shortly after his announcement.
"I was first impressed with the speed with which Peter Harrison had acted," says Dr. Sheikh, Canada's former chief statistician. "And I was pleased the offer was to do what I really enjoy while being associated with a top-notch university."
Dr. Sheikh has been involved in leading and developing economic policy analysis and advice in major federal organizations such as the Department of Finance and the Privy Council Office for over 30 years. His appointment to the School of Policy Studies as a distinguished fellow and adjunct professor was made possible by an endowment from the Joseph S. Stauffer Foundation.
As he adapts to life as an academic, Dr. Sheikh does not anticipate any difficulties.
"Even in government I remained at heart an academic," says Dr. Sheikh, who holds a PhD in economics from the University of Western Ontario and has taught at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa.
He will give lectures, conduct research, attend seminars and teach during his time at the school.
"Dr. Sheikh's background is a perfect fit with our academic role and mandate," says Dr. Harrison. "We are pleased and excited that he has accepted to join us."
Dr. Sheikh also welcomes opportunities at the university outside the School of Policy Studies. He has already committed to make a presentation to the Queen's Public Executive Program on the production and use of data with special reference to the census.
Throughout his career in the public service, Dr. Sheikh researched and published in a number of areas. He also focused on developing links between the public service and academia. At the time of his resignation, he was the deputy minister champion for the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg.
As an evidence-based policymaker, he understands the important role university research plays in the art of public policy development.
"My experience in the production and use of data, policy analysis, research, and the development of policy options are useful topics for informing my work at Queen's," he says.

Case Study - Izoox
Izoox Drives Profitability, Gains Competitive Edge Using GoGrid Cloud Infrastructure Services
Izoox is a Colorado based web development and hosting company. They were founded in 2002 and specialize in highly customized website development and hosting. Matt Scalf, co-owner and co-founder of Izoox, said their goal is to "shield our customers from the painful and agonizing process of dealing with the Internet in all capacities including web development, SEO, design, hosting, SSLs and domain maintenance."
Self-Funded Growth
Izoox began offering web hosting services in the second year of operations. Scalf describes the company's vision: "when we decided to offer web hosting, we weren't interested in hosting the infrastructure but in providing value-added management services. Additionally, a guiding principal at Izoox is not to take on debt as part of launching new solutions, so our growth needed to be self-funded. This made finding the right solution particularly challenging."
Izoox's first approach was to purchase web hosting hardware and put it in a managed data center. "Our data center partner promised a lot but could not deliver," said Scalf. "One outage lasted 17 hours. We never received an explanation or even an apology." After the outage, the Izoox team authored a rigorous requirements document and extensively researched their options before selecting GoGrid as their infrastructure partner.
A flexible network architecture: Support for more than 500 customer websites, including development, staging, and production environments.
Why GoGrid
Prior to selecting GoGrid, Izoox researched and tested approximately 60 partners over the course of five years. "Every one of these trials went up in flames, including some that involved testing with actual customer websites on third party hosted infrastructure. Some providers laughed at us because we were a small company with huge aspirations. They were only interested in customers who wanted to buy full cabinets."
Izoox almost gave up on offering their customers a hosting solution because of the headache and it became impossible to provide customers with excellent service. Once Izoox discovered GoGrid and after a short period of testing, they were convinced that GoGrid was the right partner to help achieve their aspirations. "The research and benchmarking made it clear that GoGrid was the best choice for us. They embraced our dreams."
Delivering on Promises
GoGrid's ability to deliver on the following critical requirements were key factors with Izoox's decision to select GoGrid as their cloud infrastructure provider:
– GoGrid offers excellent SLAs and meets all of its promises in terms of service and support
– GoGrid provides 5X better network and I/O performance than other solutions Izoox evaluated
– GoGrid operates multiple data centers which is important for disaster recovery and continuity planning
– GoGrid's locally attached storage was advantageous for performance
– GoGrid's partnership model made good business sense
The business relationship with Izoox has multiple dimensions. Izoox started migrating all of their hosted client websites onto GoGrid in 2010 which resulted in solid growth for both Izoox and GoGrid. In addition, Izoox has customers that they do not provide hosting to and in these cases Izoox refers them to GoGrid directly. Scalf said, "We work with a lot of websites that prefer to manage their own hosting. We refer them directly to GoGrid because we know they will receive great service. Through the referral partnership program, we're able to provide our customers a $100 credit to trial GoGrid's service without any commitment. This is a huge benefit for both us and our customers."
Multiple Hosting Flavors
Izoox uses the GoGrid infrastructure to deliver more than 500 customer websites. This includes development, staging and production environments. They offer two flavors of hosting to customers—a unique "hybrid shared hosting" solution and an excellent "virtual private hosting" or VPS solution. Izoox also re-launched their VoIP service on top of the GoGrid infrastructure.
Partnering for Success
Izoox can better help their customers deliver excellent online experiences and operate successful online businesses through their partnership with GoGrid. This has translated into demonstrable success for Izoox. Scalf gives a lot of credit for his recent business successes to the strong partnership that has been established with GoGrid. This includes the personal service he has received as a GoGrid partner/reseller, GoGrid technical support, referral program, etc. He knows that this is a "true partnership where we grow our businesses together."
Accelerated revenue growth
Leveraging the GoGrid solution has created new revenue opportunities for Izoox in terms of time to market with new services and supporting rapid growth. "We are launching multiple new services on top of GoGrid infrastructure and using the GoGrid API. Our hosting business is doubling every month. That is easy to do with a company like GoGrid when you have such a level of trust and reliability."
Improved close rates
By associating their business with the GoGrid brand, Izoox is able to close more deals. "We have definitely seen increased sales. This month alone we have closed four new deals in which the GoGrid partnership was a major selling point. Leveraging the GoGrid brand is a real strength. Additionally, helping our customers avoid infrastructure purchase startup costs also helps us win more business."
Enhanced customer satisfaction
Izoox has heard from customers that website performance has improved because of GoGrid. "Once we started migrating customers to GoGrid, we received a lot of customer testimonials which we never did before. They were attributed to performance and reliability. Customers were calling us out of the blue saying that performance had improved a lot."
Lower total cost of ownership
The Izoox business plan calls for accumulating zero debt. With GoGrid, they were able to build a world-class infrastructure solution without a large upfront investment and turn that into a profit center. "Using GoGrid keeps us financially sound. They met every one of our criteria for what we wanted out of our premier partnership while cutting our ongoing costs in half. The GoGrid partnership program provides us with excellent revenue opportunities, making us both very competitive and profitable."
"GoGrid pretty much rocked our world in terms of infrastructure."
