Lie-Nielsen Replacement Blades
Our A-2 Tool Steel is cryogenically treated, hardened to Rockwell 60-62 and double tempered. Our heat treating technique ensures that the blade will take and hold a very fine edge for a long time. After heat treating, the blade is fully surface ground on the top, back, and cutting edge, giving a smooth, flat surface that will take a mirror finish very quickly. Our blades are thick to provide solid, chatter-free cutting.
Some folks however prefer O-1 Tool Steel, because O-1 holds up better at lower angles, 25 degrees or less, making them more useful for slicing or paring tasks. We offer O-1 blades for Adjustable Mouth Block Plane, Iron Miter Plane, Low Angle Jack Plane, Low Angle Jointer, Low Angle Smoothing Plane, No. 102 or 103 Block Plane, No. 2 Bench Plane, No. 4 or 5 Bench Plane, and No. 4 1/2, 5 1/2, 6 or 7 Bench Plane.

AS SOUTH CAROLINA embarked on another baseball season Saturday at Carolina Stadium, second-year coach Chad Holbrook had his team well versed on what is expected of the No. 7-ranked Gamecocks.
Some teams write "Omaha" inside the bill of their caps. Others place photographs of Omaha's TD Ameritrade Park, home of the College World Series, inside each player's locker. USC's goal of reaching college baseball's Mecca is simply implanted in the minds of each player.
The surest way to be playing baseball in mid-June in Omaha is to secure a top-eight national seed and the home field advantage in regional and Super Regional play that goes with it.
The reality for teams from the SEC — and the Pac-12 and ACC, as well — is that the regular season is all about securing one of those national seeds. Who among USC fans believe the Gamecocks would have been playing in Omaha a season ago had they not played the deciding game of the Super Regional at top-seeded North Carolina?
"Very," Holbrook responded when asked the importance of gaining a national seed.
"As you know, it's magnified here because we're awfully difficult to beat here," Holbrook added. "You can look across the country, too. There's some times when some visiting teams go in and win a Super Regional. I guess Indiana beat Florida State last year.
"There might be some others, but generally speaking, when you look at percentages of those teams that host Super Regionals, those teams usually ... advance to the College World Series."
By gaining a national seed, those eight teams earn the right to face soft competition in the regional, and it helps explain how 101 of 120 (84.2 percent) national seeds since 1999 have advanced to the Super Regional. Of those 101, 70 reached the College World Series.
The advantage of having the home field for both the regional and Super Regional is even more pronounced for SEC teams.
Since 1999, the first year of national seeding, 28 SEC teams have earned those coveted eight spots. Of those, three have failed to reach the Super Regional. Of the 25 that won their regional, 18 have used the home field advantage to advance to the College World Series.
The SEC has prospered even more over the past six seasons as interest in college baseball has skyrocketed in the league, creating better home-field advantages. Since 2008, 10 of 13 SEC teams that secured national seeds reached Omaha. Florida failed in 2009, LSU in 2012 and Vanderbilt in 2013.
The formula to gaining one of those eight national seeds is simple: win the majority of your non-conference games and finish the SEC regular season as one of the league's top two teams.
USC again will play 26 non-conference games, none of which will be played outside the state. The Gamecocks can be expected to win 20 to 23 of those. They also play a rigorous 30-game SEC slate. Since the SEC was granted three top-eight national seeds in 2011 and 2012, there is a chance finishing the regular season among the top three in the conference will again get one of those slots.
"People say, why do you think the SEC has had success in the NCAA tournament or in Omaha?" Holbrook said. "I think what we go through in our regular season hardens us for those moments.
"If you're at the top of the SEC, if you're one or two you certainly have a chance to be a national seed. Our players realize that. We harp on it all the time, try to be in the top (two)."
Holbrook said he is not a coach who writes down goals and posts them in the team's clubhouse. Rather, he talks more in general terms to his team. He tells them it is important to be as good as they can be today, win today's game, then do it again tomorrow.
"That being said, do you have some goals you'd like to accomplish throughout the season? Absolutely," he said. "Those goals around here are competing for an SEC championship, getting to the NCAA postseason, hosting regional and hosting Super Regional and playing in the College World Series — and ultimately playing for the national championship."
The common thread through all of those goals is for USC to play well enough during the regular season to earn a national seed for the NCAA tournament. That gained, a spot in the College World Series and a chance to win the national championship likely will follow.

|Knights upend Bearcats in NWC race
|Monday, January 28, 2013 11:57 AM
CONVOY - It's a good time to be a Crestview Knight basketball fan.
The Knights, who sent out a starting lineup which didn't feature a senior, handed Spencerville its first Northwest Conference loss of the season Friday evening at Ray Etzler gymnasium, 58-49.
In fact, of Crestview's 58 points, 56 were scored by underclassmen.
Leading the way for the Knights (12-2, 3-2) was freshman guard Connor Lautzenheiser, who had 20 points on 6-of-14 shooting.
"He's one guy who's earned the opportunity to play and he's making the most of it. Our guys are are doing a good job of incorporating him into what we do," said Crestview coach Jeremy Best of Lautzenheiser.
The Knights jumped out to a 9-0 lead to start the game, thanks to seven points from Lautzenheiser and two from junior forward Tyson Bolenbaugh.
The Knights never trailed in the game and fought off every Spencerville (7-5, 4-1) run with one of their own.
"They're a good team. And like any good team, no matter what the score they're going to keep coming at you. They just kept throwing punches and throwing punches. We got enough stops down the stretch and made some good decisions," added Best.
Crestview ran its early advantage to a 17-13 lead after one. The Bearcats got five first-quarter points from junior guard Ben Bowers to pull within four at the end of the stanza.
The Knights led 25-19 after low-scoring second quarter.
An unfortunate situation at intermission, in which a youth player suffered a badly broken arm, forced an extended halftime, but neither team seemed affected in the third.
Crestview opened the third with a Lautzenheiser three but Spencerville came storming back. A 3-pointer by freshman guard Zach Goecke brought the Bearcats within one, 31-30, with less than two minutes to play in the third.
Crestview junior forward Damian Helm countered with a huge three of his own to return the Crestview lead to four, which held through the end of the quarter.
Foul trouble that the Bearcats had been battling all night came full circle in the fourth as the team sent Crestview to the charity stripe 23 times and saw two starters - senior forward Derek Goecker and senior center Dominick Corso - foul out.
The Knights put up 24 fourth-quarter points but made only three field goals.
Crestview fired 20-of-25 from the charity stripe on the evening.
Along with Lautzenheiser's 20, Bolenbaugh had a perfect night with 13 points including 5-of-5 shooting from the field and 3-of-3 shooting from the foul line.
Junior guard Cam Eztler had 12, eight of which coming from the line, and Helm added 10.
The Knights collectively shot 18-of-42 (43%) but hit 16-of-28 from 2-point range. Spencerville also shot 18-of-42 on the evening but 14-of-30 from short. The difference came down to free throws, where the Bearcats hit only 9-of-14.
Crestview grabbed 22 rebounds to Spencerville's 21 and committed seven turnovers to the Bearcats' 10.
Spencerville was led by Corso and Zach Goecke, who scored 12 each. Bowers added 11.
Spencerville visits St. John's tonight; Crestview hosts Continental.
SPENCERVILLE (2pt. 3pt. FT Pts.)
Cook 0-0 0-1 0-0 0, Corso 4-8 0-0 4-4 12, Roberts 2-2 0-2 0-0 4, Patton 0-0 01- 0-0 0, Z. Goecke 2-6 2-3 2-3 12, Bowers 2-9 2-6 1-3 11, D. Goecke 2-2 0-0 2-4 6, Miller 2-2 0-0 0-0 4.

I love Leo has an actor, and I'm sure he's an awesome human being but this is just getting creepy..not that it's strange for older actors to go for young models/actresses but the fact that Bar, Blake, and Erin are all 25 and under meanwhile this guy is nearing 40 just makes this a very creepy, intentional pattern. He's reminding of those college guys that only dates high school chicks, it's just off and takes a way a few of Leo's cool points, because it's also a bit sad. http://beckymonster.blogspot.com/

#17: Exactly. It`s pretty obvious based on these photos and the ones from Sydney that he is showing off his new Barbie. Too bad he looks more like her chaperone than her boyfriend.

Hmm, who's playing the pap games now? The minute he lands in L.A we get pics of he and his new gal wandering around. Now, there's no saying if HE didn't call the paps while touring Europe with Blake. He clearly is not above using the media when it suits him.

`look of love`? Who writes these headlines? Leo still plays with Barbies at the age of 37. If he is indeed in love then he has some serious growing up to do... By the way this is the same guy who cancelled a boat ride with his own mother in Sydney to avoid photographers but within two weeks this is the second time to see crystal clear photos of him with his new toy... Come on, Leo. You can do better than this!

Despite Councilor Dennis Welch's promise to call for a special meeting for Monday if the ordinance was not voted on Saturday, Todd held out, saying she needed more time to examine the ordinance provided to the board on Saturday morning by town attorney Charles C. Tatum.
The Council will meet at 5:30 p.m. Monday to vote on the ordinance that removes the mayor's power to appoint city officers such as Oakman's certified town clerk, the police chief, the fire chief, the street superintendent and department heads.
Welch, a 14-year veteran of the Council, said in the past, having this authority rest in the hands of Oakman mayors has resulted in in-fighting and costly lawsuits.
Ordinance No. 2010-10-30-1 also gives the head of each department the exclusive right to hire, dismiss and discipline their employees subject to the Council's approval.
The Council did take action Saturday on employee insurance plans, which are being changed to help the struggling city cope with recent financial woes.
Effective on Dec. 1, city employees will receive a $150 stipend for them to buy insurance in lieu of the city's contribution to a Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance policy for the regular full-time workers.
"This stipend will be considered a non-taxable fringe benefit to be used by the employee for health insurance," stated the resolution, read aloud by Welch at Saturday's called meeting.
Welch said employees who sign up for a Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance policy suggested by the city will be paying about $150 more per month out of pocket for about the same coverage they currently receive.
Officials said they regretted the move, but felt it was necessary as a result of the city's financial struggles.
"We're going from week to week to see if we've got money to pay salaries," said Councilor Pat Blackwell.

Hopefully, yours will eventually get better and allow you to get back to your previous level. Same for John Coughlin, although I hope he does take his time and doesn't push too hard. No matter how tempting Worlds look, it's not worth risking an Olympic season.

JOE TALAMO, OBVIOUSLY, WINNER: "This is actually the best he has relaxed. He's definitely got the highest cruising speed of any horse I've ever been on. I still can't get over that he went the half (mile) in 45 and change. That cruising speed of his is unbelievable. Pulling up, I had to get the outrider to grab me; he's just full of run. I'm excited for the Breeders' Cup with him. I was very confident with my horse today. Mike's (Mitchell) done a great job keeping him fresh after his races. Going a mile, he's just unbelievable. I feel like I'm family when it comes to Mike (Mitchell). He's been instrumental to my career and taking me to the next level. He's always put me on great horses like this and I really appreciate that."
YUTAKA TAKE, TRAILBLAZER, SECOND: "The race went okay. The distance was too short but it was a good race to set up for the next one."
BRICE BLANC, MR. COMMONS, THIRD: "I was in a perfect spot. My horse kicked on but I just couldn't get by the winner. Not to take anything away from the winner, but he has everything his way when he gets loose on the lead like that and nobody pressures him. I can't really change the style of my horse. I was actually a little closer than I was expecting because nobody was going with the leader. He finished up good and gave me a good kick at the top of the lane, but I just came up a little bit short.
MIKE MITCHELL, OBVIOUSLY, WINNER: "They went quick, but the first couple of fractions, they slowed it down a little bit. I didn't think he needed to be like 10 or 15 (lengths) in front to win. I loved how he saved him down the backside a little bit. It was a good horse race. He needed to perform like this today to consider the Breeders' Cup (Mile) with him, but now, why not?
"Actually, we thought he was a sprinter when we bought him. I thought we were going to run him 6 ½ (furlongs) down the hill (on turf) in the Breeders' Cup. But we just routed him and never told Joe (Talamo) anything. From the day we routed him, we just let Joe do whatever he wanted to do on him, and I think we figured out he just liked this type of race."
JOHN SHIRREFFS, MR. COMMONS, THIRD: "They went fast, but he just couldn't catch them. If he's OK, we'll look at the Breeders' Cup (Mile)."
NOTES: The winning owners are Anthony Fanticola of Newport Coast and Joe Scardino of Glendora.

We just heard from IGN Film Force that they are going to be releasing a very in-depth interview with Jim Dale one part per day through Friday of this week - it starts here, and is excellent and only promises to get more excellent - and we thought it would be a good time to announce something we've been sitting on for a while. On Tuesday, June 24, I'll be interviewing Mr. Dale for TLC - so if you have a burning question for him, email it to us, with the subject JIM DALE, and I'll try to get it in. Where the IGN series had to leave off (HP5, naturally), TLC will pick up, and we're extremely, extremely excited about it.

MUNCIE — After experiencing crushing defeat in 2011, the Avon Orioles responded with the best redemption possible, a state championship.
A season after going 39-0, being ranked nationally and losing to Penn in the state finals 3-1, Avon responded by winning the Class 4A 2012 state championship over Carmel, 3-2.
"This is just the most amazing feeling," Avon senior Kayla Springer said. "Coming here, this is always what we've wanted all season. To be in this moment, to do it for anyone who ever played in this program and do it for the seniors last year, I cannot even put it into words how incredible it is."
Sophomore Beth Prince also had trouble describing the emotions of winning a state title.
"I'm freaking out right now," she said. "All of us just came through, if you watch that game it was a complete team effort. One person didn't stick out, it was everybody pulling together and doing their job on the court."
Leading 2-1, before the fourth set, Avon coach Scott McQueen said he told an assistant coach, 'If we lose this one, it will be way more crushing than last year was.'
McQueen didn't have to worry about that, although there were some tense moments leading up to the victory.
"Last year was so special and those kids had such a great run," McQueen said. "This year hasn't been as easy as it was coming into it. I felt we were given as tough as a road as anybody. We were on the road practically everywhere."
Experiencing two back-to-back defeats early in the season, including one to Carmel and struggling through part of the year helped prepare the Orioles compared to cruising through last year.
"Not having a perfect season, going through the ups and downs, made us stronger and more mentally prepared," Orioles sophomore Calle Weddle said.
Making it to state once is special for any team, but to make it in back-to-back seasons and win the second year is certainly a meaningful accomplishment.
"Last year, yes we blew through it and we had a tough game, this year we had some ups and downs and it kind of got us ready for it," Avon senior Emily Graves said.
The defeat suffered last season sat in the minds of the Orioles all year and pushed them to Avon's second team state championship in school history.
"Last year was just motivation for this year," Weddle said. "The feeling of losing motivated us so much more because we knew how it felt and we wouldn't want that to happen again. It drove us to work even harder."
The adversity compared to last season was the determining factor for Avon according to Prince.
"Last year we didn't lose a game until this thing and this year we lost along the way," she said. "Honestly it was probably a good thing."
Avon featured three seniors this season in Graves, Springer and Lauren Johnson. Springer was happy to go out on top with her fellow seniors.
"Emily and Lauren are just so incredible. We worked so hard this entire season. We really came into leadership roles," Springer said. "For the three of us to grow together, it's just incredible."
After being banned from consuming fried food and soda during the season, how are the Orioles going to celebrate the state championship?
"I'm going to go eat some French fries and a coke," Prince said. "And it's going to be awesome."

Bond was set at $900,000 for a woman charged with allegedly stabbing another woman to death during a domestic dispute in the Austin neighborhood early Friday.
Debra Jean Jones, 54, is charged with first-degree murder for the domestic-related stabbing in the 1100 block of North Mayfield Avenue, police News Affairs said.

Glowing, glowing, gone: Where, oh where, has your radiance gone? In your 30s your skin's inner light appears to dim. You might not consider it a sign of aging, but diminished color, rougher texture, brown spots, and uneven tone is the classic first sign. What's to blame: a slowdown in oil production and cell turnover. (It now takes longer for fresh cells to reach the surface.)
The first sprinkle of wrinkles: The reasons for those new crow's feet are twofold, says Steven J. Pearlman, MD, a New York City plastic surgeon. First, the thin skin around your eyes produces less moisture than the rest of your face, so it's extra-vulnerable to sun exposure. Second, the years spent blinking, squinting, and making faces eventually leave their mark. Expression lines may pop up on your forehead and around your mouth, too.

We have some flowers that come back every year and they have come up within the last week or so. No flowers have bloomed yet. Well tonight, I noticed one yellow flower had bloomed, which is always a welcome spring time occurrence. As you can see from my pictures, they decided to bloom at a weird time, and were not given a warm welcome.

Too bad our gutless excuses for leaders won't mandate that anti-terrorism laws be enforced against gangs. They certainly fit every definition of "terrorist organization".
Of course, rounding up bangers wouldn't be as lucrative for the military-industrial war profiteers as the perpetual phony war on terror.

Well said Derek. I never have quite understood why it is we even tolerate gangs...period?! They contribute absolutely nothing to our society, except crime. Anybody?

PHOTO CALL: Betty Buckley, Sam Waterston, Trevor Nunn, Paula Vogel and More Inducted into Theatre Hall of Fame
By Krissie Fullerton
Tony and Emmy Award winner Tyne Daly hosted The 42nd Annual Theatre Hall of Fame ceremony, held Jan. 28 at 7:30 PM in the Gershwin Theatre's North Rotunda.
The 2012 Theater Hall of Fame inductees include actors Betty Buckley and Sam Waterston, directors Trevor Nunn and Michael Kahn, producer/director Andre Bishop, playwrights Paula Vogel and Christopher Durang and, posthumously, costume designer Martin Pakledinaz. Buckley was unable to be part of the ceremony because she is currently in London in rehearsals for the upcoming revival of Dear World.
Founded in 1971 by James M. Nederlander, Earl Blackwell, Gerard Oestreicher and L. Arnold Weissberger, the Theater Hall of Fame honors Lifetime Achievement in the American Theater. The annual ballot has 50 nominees in 10 categories. Over 250 members of the Theater Hall of Fame and American Theater Critics Association are the voting body. The top eight nominees receiving the most votes are annually inducted.

This hot stock may perk up even moreLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers23 hrs ago
Shares of Keurig Green Mountain were percolating on Friday thanks to a deal with Kraft Foods. But while the stock has been on fire for the last couple of years, could investors get roasted in the months ahead?
Though Keurig Green Mountain's stock is up over 77 percent year-to-date – and has more than quintupled in the last two years – Chad Morganlander, portfolio manager at Stifel Nicolaus Washington Crossing Advisors, is not warm on the stock.
"We at Stifel have a hold recommendation on it," Morganlander said. Stifel Nicolaus makes a market in Keurig Green Mountain's stock.
"As a value manager, I believe that this stock is somewhat frothy," said Morganlander, noting that the stock trades around 34 times its 2015 expected earnings.
Morganlander is also wary on the company itself. "The business model is somewhat sketchy here when it comes to pricing," he said. "There are competitive issues that they will have in the coming years."
Keurig Green Mountain may not be the best investment idea, according Morganlander. "You want to be somewhat more pragmatic about investing in it," he said. "This is bubblicious to me. Stay away."
Why you can expect lower heating billsLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers23 hrs ago
Natural gas is a lot lower than it was during the "polar vortex" spike earlier this year and it may continue to drop.
"Talking Numbers" recently received a tweet from Jing Xiao (@collpandaca) saying:
@CNBCNUMBERS Can you guys talk about natural gas futures?
Given the way natural gas has been trading—down 40 percent in the last six months—we thought it would be worth a look.
Since 2005, natural gas supplies have been steadily increasing. And though prices have been volatile the entire way, they are much lower than they were a decade ago.
From June 2013 to May 2014, U.S. dry natural gas production was 23.7 trillion cubic feet. That's 25 percent higher than it was 10 years ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Meanwhile, the price of natural gas—notoriously volatile—is down 37 percent compared with this time of year in 2004.
Gina Sanchez, founder of Chantico Global, sees prices falling further. "I believe there are lower prices ahead," she said. "Right now, we're in sort of this trendless state which happens a lot for this time of year. So that's totally normal."
Why the U.S. dollar is still kingLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers1 day ago
The dollar is near its highest levels in close to a year, and that might be a surprisingly good sign for U.S. stocks.
The U.S. Dollar Index – which measures the buck against a basket of other currencies – is near its highest levels since September 2013. The minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting, in which the central bank debated raising rates sooner than expected, helped the dollar on Wednesday. Higher interest rates make owning the U.S. dollar more attractive compared with other currencies.
David Seaburg, head of equity sales trading at Cowen and Company, believes the dollar will continue to rise against other major currencies, especially the euro.
"We'll continue to see it strong," said Seaburg of the dollar. "The U.S. is essentially ending QE [quantitative easing] and the ECB [or European Central Bank] is just beginning QE, so rates are going to go higher."
(Read: German data brings relief to euro, dollar stalls)
While that may make it difficult for U.S. firms to export to other countries, Seaburg doesn't think the stock market is focused on that right now.
This weird divergence tells us a lot about stocks right nowLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers1 day ago
It's been a hot summer for the markets, but not all indexes are basking in the sun.
While the large-cap S&P 500 index is hitting an all-time high, the small-cap Russell 2000 is down 0.5 percent for the year. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq - 100 indexes are also flying high, hitting levels not seen since the days of Tech Bubble 1.0. Those two indexes are up 8.5 and 12.7 percent, respectively.
The spread between big - cap stocks and small - cap stocks betrays an underlying truth about the economy, said David Seaburg, head of equity sales trading at Cowen and Company.
"The market is trying to tell us something," he said. "There is a real comfort level around a lot of these bigger companies because of the stability."
That stability is important, according to Seaburg, because policymakers at the Federal Reserve recently discussed raising rates due to stronger-than-expected economic data.
This stock could see steeper lossesAmanda Diaz at Talking Numbers1 day ago
Shares of Sears Holdings plunged more than 7 percent Thursday after the company reported a wider-than-expected second-quarter loss. This marks the ninth straight loss for the struggling retailer.
"Our second-quarter earnings are unacceptable," said Sears CEO Edward Lampert on a conference call with shareholders. "We are taking steps to address our performance in several levels, including reducing costs, investing the acceleration of our transformation, rationalizing our physical footprint to focus on our better performing stores and markets, and improving our pricing and promotional design to yield higher gross margins."
The stock is now down 32 percent on the year, but are there any signs of a turnaround?
"This is not a store you want to own," said CNBC retail analyst Stacey Widlitz. "[Sears] is basically selling off all of its assets in order to pay for what they are calling a transformation, but the transformation is not happening. They've underinvested in their stores over time. They don't do destination anymore, people don't do one-stop shopping anymore. Their margins are under intense pressure in order to get sales moving and they are burning massive amounts of cash."
This surprising metal is crushing goldLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers1 day ago
While everyone is staring at gold, one surprising precious metal is trouncing it: palladium.
The metal is up 22 percent this year, and earlier this week, it made 13-year highs as it broke above $900 per troy ounce. Gold, meanwhile, is only up 5 percent in 2014.
And according to David Seaburg, head of equity sales trading at Cowen & Co., the palladium run isn't over just yet.
"Depletion of the Russian inventory has been a big issue," said Seaburg. That country is the world's largest palladium producer.
Meanwhile, on the demand side of the equation, increasing auto sales in China and the United States are helping the metal. Car production is a hugely important variable for palladium, given that the metal is used in catalytic converters.
While Seaburg sees palladium prices "stalling out" in the short term, "in the long term it's going to go higher."
The technicals are also bullish, according to Steven Pytlar, chief equity strategist at Prime Executions.
Looking at a multiyear chart of palladium, Pytlar sees a long-term base that formed in late 2011.
"Given the range of that prior base, there is actually a technical case to be made that it could go higher," Pytlar said.
Following the smart money can make you big money, study findsLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
It turns out that following the smartest of the "smart money" can improve your investing decisions, according to a recent study. And that may give you a good reason to buy the shares of certain apparel companies today.
A new study by Erin Gibbs, equity chief investment officer at Standard & Poor's Investment Advisory Services, begins by taking a look at the type of institutional investors out there, and how the stocks they buy performed. (A pdf of the study can be found by clicking here.)
Institutions have gained an overall larger stake in stocks over the past decade. About 82 percent of all S&P 500 shares are now owned by institutions, up from 73 percent a decade ago. (However, note that shares owned by ETFs are included in this percentage.)
Out of the 11 types of institutions Gibbs analyzed – including private equity firms, charities, pension plans, insurance companies, and sovereign wealth funds – one type of investor stood above the others.
Why this critical commodity will keep getting cheaperLawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
Oil may have gained a little bit on Wednesday, but that doesn't necessarily mean that crude's long downtrend is over.
The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil for September delivery settled at $96.07 per barrel on Wednesday, a day after bouncing from its seven-month low of $94.26.
(Read: Oil zooms higher, pulls off multi-month lows after US inventories)
However, Erin Gibbs, equity chief investment officer at S&P Capital IQ, believes the price of oil is headed lower still.
For Gibbs, the key is that the world is using less oil than usual while supplies are at record highs. Demand has fallen to its lowest levels in two years, with a relatively cool summer in the U.S. and a slowdown in Chinese imports likely to gain.
"We don't see that changing any time soon," Gibbs said. "Seasonally, we expect oil to drop as we head into fall. So we set our target at $92 , and I still see that as a potential for oil going down further."
(Read: Pickens: Brent crude will be above $100 forever)
The technicals agree with Gibbs, said Richard Ross, global technical strategist at Auerbach Grayson.
Why Apple could be too big for its own goodAmanda Diaz at Talking Numbers2 days ago
All eyes were on Apple Wednesday as shares of the tech giant soared to an all-time high of $101.09 per share on renewed faith in CEO Tim Cook.
Wednesday's move was the first time the company has surpassed $100 per share, a key psychological level for investors, since September 2012. Apple now has a market cap of more than $600 billion, more than Google and Amazon combined.
So, as Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 6 is reportedly set to be unveiled on Sept. 6, how much bigger can the company actually get?
"I think the challenge of Apple is it's got this incredible ecosystem, it is a massive company," said Envestnet's head of global strategy and CNBC Contributor Zachary Karabell, "but I do think that they are inherently in a hardware business and even with the massive success of iTunes and the app store, they do need to keep creating that next wave of product."
Don't laugh: The surprising reason AOL could rise 60%Lawrence Lewitinn at Talking Numbers2 days ago
Could one of the hottest companies in the Internet sector be … America Online?
It's a serious question.
Since early May, shares of the company synonymous with yesteryear's dial-up Internet are 25 percent higher. And while AOL's stock is still down 6 percent on the year, it has more than tripled over the last three years.
So is this a "dead cat bounce," or is AOL the Internet's best comeback story yet?
James Cakmak, senior research analyst at Telsey Advisory Group, says the company is reinventing itself and transitioning from a value story to a growth story. He considers AOL one of his top picks, and gives it a price target of $70 per share. That's 60 percent above where the stock was trading on Wednesday afternoon.
"This is not your grandmother's AOL," Cakmak said. "That's the bottom line."
While AOL still made $155 million in the last quarter off of subscriber revenue, he doesn't see this legacy component as the future of the company.

A two-year-old with Cerebral Palsy has a new set of wheels Tuesday.
Austin Rousselon's limited muscle control keeps him from using a regular Little Tykes hummer.
Some Notre Dame Engineering students solved that problem!
They modified the toy to operate with a button and a joystick instead of a wheel and pedal.
And that did the trick.
Austin was off and running as soon as the students dropped off the modified hummer tonight!
Mom couldn't be happier!
Austin's mom Jamie Rousselon said, "Oh it's awesome. Words can't describe it," said Austin's mom Jamie Rousselon. "We didn't think he could do anything like this, and it's just phenomenal what he can do. He really sets the bar high for disabled kids."
"Basically it allows him to be a kid, allows him to have some fun," said Notre Dame student Derek Wolf. "They'll use it a little bit for therapy, but mostly you see his face, he just gets to have fun with it."
With the help of the new toy and pediatric Therapists at Memorial...
Austin's mom says there are no limits to what her son can achieve.

- Experience of a lifetimeSanCariocaDined on 8/26/2014We were visiting from Brazil, and my wife had never eaten a really Big Maine lobster before. I emailed Big Fin via OpenTable prior to our arrival and the awesome Mallory arranged everything for us. We had a 5lb locutor in a ninho where everyone from the restaurante was Wonder fui. It was our 20th Marriage Anniversary and a night to remember. Special Thanks to Mike and the Chef Will return for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great find!!TckewlDined on 8/26/2014The food was awesome and so was the service!!! The menu was exciting and had lots of choices...there was something for everyone! Can't wait to go back because there are several things we want to try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dinner. We will return !OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/25/2014First time there. Seafood was very fresh. Lots of great items to pick from. Loved the oysters appetizer too. Key lime pie for dessert was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TedMVIPDined on 8/21/2014Great menu. Oysters were delicious and nicely presented. My wife's Lobster Scampi pasta was delicious too. My Jerk Seared Scallops were good, but didn't tingle my taste buds with the bold expectations of a spicy dish. It would be worthwhile to return.Special Features:
- Awesome as Always...........SamIamDined on 8/21/2014This is my go-to place for taking clients out when they come to town and want seafood. It is consistently excellent in every aspect and all my clients put it on their keeper list. While a bit pricey, Big Fin never disappoints on service, the quality (and quantity) of excellent seafood. The calamari is always a big hit for an appetizer and the lobster bisque is smooth, creamy and delicious.Special Features:
- An overpriced catch.OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/20/2014Tourist overpriced catch. Normal good seafood at 30% more than the same catch elsewhere. I have not see a filet go for $45 but you got it here! The entire menu is hyped and every dish is overpriced. Food was good but not out of this world. A good dining experience must also leave you with a satisfaction that you actually got value. Here you felt sorry you ever walked in and sat down and paid that much.

- So very special!ManytimesDined on 7/20/2014This was our fourth trip to Big Fin over last few years as we live 20 miles away. Past three visits were very good but this visit was outstanding. Our servers Chris and Bill were there for our every need and recommended dishes. The chefs prepared four dinners that were very special to each of us. Our food was fish and seafood you will not find in many restaurants and they tasted so very special. Prices are up but they are up everywhere and this dining experience was worth it!

- SparkyDined on 7/16/2014Third time eating here. Food fantastic on all occasions. First two visits were work based, this time I brought the family. They all loved it, especially the Alaskan King crab. Great waitress, one of the managers possibly could have had a bit more of an outgoing personality. Only issue was that we moved outside because of the noise from one table which reverberated and it was a touch on the chilly side inside. Actually this was not an issue, we enjoyed outside immensely. If back in the area I will be back.Special Features:
- special ocassion made betttergloverj1020Dined on 7/16/2014I took my wife here for our anniversary. The staff was excellent.

We've followed Chef James Slattery through several changes in restaurants and are thrilled that he's settled so successfully at Big Fin. He's a creative and adventurous culinarian and a master at balancing all the elements on a plate! Wednesday saw my sister and me enjoying the Chef's special cabernet-braised octopus with angel hair pasta and romesco sauce, a beautiful piece of Scottish salmon with a to-die-for potato cake and a whole fried loup de mer with Mediterranean-inspired rice. Sheila did a fabulous job as our server! The restaurant can be very noisy but that's the only downside we've ever seen. Look for Chef James on Facebook and drool over pictures of his food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Unexpected PleasureJanet1057Dined on 6/26/2014We had an 8:00 PM reservation on a Thursday night. The noise level was moderate. I'm sure it can be extremely loud when the restaurant is full. After a week in Orlando with several dining missteps, I wasn't sure what to expect at Big Fin. Our waiter Jon was outstanding. He was attentive, spot on with his recommendations, and accomodated menu changes. My friend and I had the crab crusted grouper and my husband ordered the swordfish "filet". Everything was wonderful, including the key lime pie dessert. Best meal we had in Orlando.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The seafood quality is the best. The oysters are always excellent. They do have a steak selection and I've never tried them. Just too hard to bring myself to ordering a steak when so many seafood selections abound. Big Fin is my go-to seafood restaurant for quality seafood dining with friends, family, and clients. Some selections are rather pricey so beware of that. They do have specials and an extensive menu which makes it a bit of a challenge when ordering. Just so many good things to choose from!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/7/2014As always, Big Fin does not disappoint. It always provides consistently excellent seafood. My party of 3 had shrimp cocktail, bbq shrimp, and grilled oysters for appetizers. For entrees, we had 2 swordfish filet mignons and 1 blue crab encrusted grouper. The shrimp cocktail was tasty. The bbq shrimp was interesting and different. The grilled oysters, I would have preferred without the jalapenos. Our waiter did not ask which oysters we wanted. The swordfish and grouper were amazing! And the bread pudding and flourless chocolate cake for dessert were scrumptous. Our service was good by a team of servers. If only Big Fin could do something about the noise level. Maybe they need carpeting or quiter guests.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Sheringham and AFC Wimbledon part company
Updated 4:04pm Thursday 22nd May 2014 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Charlie Sheringham has left AFC Wimbledon after boss Neal Ardley confirmed the striker will not be offered a new contract.
The 26-year-old, a free signing from Bournemouth in June last year, made just eight appearances for the Dons scoring a single goal in a season that was blighted by injury.
Ardley told Dons Player: "We had an open conversation today and from Charlie's point of view he feels he probably never got a good run in the team and rightly so.
"It was stop-start for him after he suffered a bad injury. From my point of view we had a bit of a striker crisis throughout the season and we were not scoring enough goals."
He added: "It has not quite worked out and it's an area that I feel needs to be freshened up to try and solve the problem from last season.
"Charlie is a good player and I think he will do well wherever he goes. I hope he gets a good deal somewhere else."

CATEGORIES Movies2012: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. So let's focus on the worst for a minute. Overall, 2012 was a pretty good time for film fans. However, each year always manages to bring its own group of bland and downright awful flicks.
Here, we've decided to run down some of the worst of the worst, the kind of offender that we'd like to put on an old timey wanted poster for crimes against cinema. The list is designed so that you can read it and say, "Well, I'm glad I missed out on that." Because you really, truly are.

My all-time favorite cocktail that can be made in a large quantity is sangria. It's super easy to put together and tastes better when it's made a day in advance, which is perfect for entertaining. I've been experimenting with different kinds of sangria since falling in love with Spain nine years ago; here's a roundup of the best sangria recipes out there. Classic Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Traditional sangria involves red wine, fruit, fizz, and some element of booze. This refreshing and addictive classic recipe has a secret ingredient that takes it to the next level: cinnamon. 1 / 8 Peach and Mango Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This recipe gives sangria a tropical flair with the addition of mango. 2 / 8 Watermelon Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Watermelon juice and white wine come together with vodka and orange liqueur to make one amazing sangria. It's so good you'll want to enjoy it over and over again! 3 / 8 Berry Rosé Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This berry-infused sangria gets its pretty color from Rosé. Select a dry bottle, so the sangria doesn't get too sweet. 4 / 8 White Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This white sangria recipe proves that stone fruits are great for infusing sangria, too. 6 / 8 Blackberry Cabernet Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of a more typical spirit like rum or brandy, this colorful recipe uses cachaça, a sugarcane rum native to Brazil. The sangria is different but delicious. 6 / 8 Strawberry-Peach Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Two of Summer's most beloved fruits — strawberries and peaches — flavor this red wine sangria. When I open a bottle of red wine and am disappointed by the way it tastes, I make this sangria! 7 / 8 Green Grape Sangria What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Grapes are slowly making their way into the ingredient spotlight, and this sangria is a wonderful use of them. 8 / 8 112 31 18 0 0 Read More 2011 SummerPitcher DrinksSangriaAlcohol 2011 Summer Shutterbug: 15 Summer Photos to Take of Your Kids 7/14 Scream For It!
