Got Statins? Beware!
Reuters Health could not have put it more succinctly: People without heart disease should think twice before taking cholesterol-lowering statins. It does appear that statins lower the risk of heart attack, but how they do so remains a mystery. But now, it appears the results we were fed earlier may have been overstated.
The Cochrane Collaboration is an international organization that evaluates medical research. They look at all the studies and work done on a particular issue and then rate the results and the direction of the related literature. The Reuters article kind of glosses over Cochrane but the reader should understand that when Cochrane gives it's endorsement (or lack thereof) you can be pretty sure whether the literature supports the proposition. In this case, it does not.
It appears in the case of statins that the medical community was in their usual unscientific and rare form. They start with a belief and they participate in studies aimed to support their belief. When things don't support it, they marginalize or omit those results. The public suffers as a result but they do it in the name of preventive medicine rather than science. Science would suggest that we conduct experiments and wait until the results are in prior to forming conclusions. Preventive medicine seeks to quickly find a cure and therefore they pay attention to all that supports the believed cure while quietly discarding the rest.
In this case, all the studies focused on the benefits of statins whereas half provided information on side effects. Dr. Shah Ebrahim said, "There is evidence that the reports cherry-picked the best outcomes for presentation which will tend to inflate apparent benefits of treatment."
That's a pretty strong statement. Statins help prevent new heart attacks in people who've already had one, but the effects are less certain in individuals at lower risk. Despite the results of these studies, the public has still been urged to take statins for the prevention of heart attacks even though serious side effects were reported by many.
Dr. Ebrahim was careful to issue this warning:
"If you have self-prescribed a statin, buy it "over the counter" in a pharmacy, or do not know your level of risk and are taking a statin, get a check of your level of cardiovascular risk and discuss your decision with your family doctor," he urged.
These drugs do nothing that you cannot accomplish yourself with an all-meat diet, plain and simple. Heart disease and heart attacks are caused by carbohydrates and their effect on blood sugar via insulin. The violent swings in blood sugar levels has the potential to embarrass the heart muscle and this is what causes heart attacks. When a person eats an all-meat diet, the blood sugar stays stable as it was intended to be. Lowering blood sugar is not the goal. Stabilizing blood sugar is.
The heart depends upon a steady supply of blood sugar at all periods of the day or you die. When you drive your blood sugar high with carbohydrate, insulin comes and brings it down. Like any stimulant, the result is more than is intended and you have periods of hypoglycemia (low-blood sugar). This is the point where heart attacks can happen. No amount of exercise will save you from this fate, especially if you are consuming sugary foods and beverages while you exercise as is the norm today.
Saturated fat is not the problem. It's merely present at the scene when your heart muscle stops. It's like blaming the firemen for starting the fire. Lose the carbohydrates and the firemen stay home.

Community Spirit: Eider Court
The winners received a gift card and a yard sign.
It might not snow in Orange County, and the weather rarely warrants mittens, but that didn't stop Laguna Niguel residents from transforming their streets into winter wonderlands for the city's annual Holiday Lights Contest.
Here are some of the winners and their stories (use our map to see all the winners):
A sign on Eider Court tells drivers to tune to 87.9 FM, where they can hear seasonal hits and even pop tunes like "Gangnam Style" synchronized to the street's holiday lights.
The neighborhood, near Kite Hill Drive, won the Community Spirit award and proudly displays the sign next to its own handcrafted sign that reads "The Eider Court Light 'n' Music Show," which runs every half-hour between 5 and 10 p.m.
Click here to watch a video about the lights on Eider Court.
The homeowners, led by Janice and Ian Thomas, pooled money to string lights among neighboring homes and across the street, with wreaths hanging in the middle.
Hippos with Santa hats, penguins popping from igloos, 8-foot-tall Santas and even an abominable snowman – there's plenty to ogle while driving past the 12 homes on the cul-de-sac. It's not uncommon for motorists to park and walk around when they come upon the street.
"It reminds me of Main Street at Disneyland," said resident Frank Pearce. "It's that spectacular. You have to see it. The kids just love it."
The neighborhood officially turned on the switch Dec. 1 with a crowd of onlookers with hot chocolate in hand.
The Thomases are originally from the United Kingdom, and Janice Thomas says she initially was baffled by the American penchant for holiday lights.
"You see, in Europe, where we're from, you don't decorate outside," she said. "When we first immigrated we didn't really understand it. As you've been here so many years, you kind of get hooked."
The neighborhood is close-knit, regularly hosting pool parties, barbecues – basically any excuse to get together, Janice said. So it wasn't hard to get everyone in on the lighting task.
"My kids call it 'Smallville,'" said resident Bruce Barfell, 54. "It's like living in the Midwest where everyone knows each other."
Barfell said the neighborhood is already discussing how to decorate in 2013.

"64. When your show's opening theme song starts to play, your enemies are fucked."A character's strength and abilities are directly proportional with how cool their personal theme music is. The more suddenly it starts up and the louder it is, the more butt-kicking is about to commence. This applies to both heroes and villains and is a power that the Badass Normal is allowed to use. Alternatively, the music is a representation of the character getting into "the zone". Video games will sometimes have a variation of this, where a specific jingle plays during temporary power-ups, like invincibility due to an Invincibility Power-Up; see Power Up Motif. If a Theme Music Power-Up is defeated, then it's The Day The Music Lied. If it's in particularly spectacular fashion, it may end with a Record Needle Scratch or by Letting the Air out of the Band (or, if you're really unlucky, a Last Note Nightmare). Ominous Latin Chanting, the One-Woman Wail, or the Cherubic Choir are popular choices for this, as are a techno beat or heavy metal riff. Sometimes, near the end, the series Theme Song will play, allowing every good guy to kick some major rear at the Grand Finale. This is a Last Episode Theme Reprise. Compare Autobots, Rock Out!, Most Wonderful Sound, Power Up Motif, Music for Courage, Near Victory Fanfare, and Musical Spoiler (the last of which is arguably a Super Trope).

Game in a Relevant Quote:
"I just feel tired now if people are shocked. If it's not for you, just don't bloody watch it."
-Chris Morris
My best attempt at Observations:
- Just… wow.
- These teams hate each other. A lot.
- Marc-Andre Fleury has never been worse in his career and Evgeni Malkin is still invisible.
- Sidney Crosby and Claude Giroux should not be fighting each other.
- Kris Letang and Kimmo Timonen should not be fighting each other.
- Arron Asham shouldn't be playing for a while.
- James Neal shouldn't expect his bank balance to be at its current level tomorrow.
- If the NHL wants to send a message, Dan Bylsma shouldn't be holding on to that money either.
- Whoever thought Matt Cooke would be one of eight Penguins in a game with zero penalty minutes? Others include: Zbynek Michalek, Paul Martin, Pascal Dupuis, Richard Park, Brook Orpik (also confusing), Tyler Kennedy and Malkin.
- I'm wondering if Daniel Briere is only paid for playing in the playoffs because that makes it 101 points in 100 career playoff games.
- Speaking of impressive. Jaromir Jagr still has it. He is very, very good at hockey.
- It's too bad James Neal decided to be a freaking idiot at the end of the game because he scored a gem and was Pittsburgh's best offensive threat.
- Sorry for the lack of hockey analysis here but really that would being like analysing who's wearing what skates in any other game. The Flyers just continue to outclass the Penguins and the Penguins continue to come unglued. What I'm more interested to see now is the long term fallout for the Pens from this series. This strikes me as the type of series that could pull apart a roster. They look dead in the water.
- I picked Paul Holmgren as my GM of the year and I think it's clear why. His younger, rebuilt roster is laying a beating on the consensus most talented team in the NHL. Not only are they in better shape to win this season, but they're built to win long term too with a core of Giroux, Schenn, Couturier and JVR ready to stick around long term. The Flyers may very well be the next Red Wings type of powerhouse from here on out.
- Game four goes Wednesday in Philly. We'll see how that goes. I'm assuming it'll be more of this with different starring characters.
My Three Stars:
1) Daniel Briere
2) Jaromir Jagr
3) Wayne Simmonds

True Blood Round Table: "Jesus Gonna Be Here"by TV Fanatic Staff at . Updated at . Comments
Well, that didn't take long.
Mere seconds into Sunday's True Blood Season 7 premiere, we lost one of the show's main characters.
Is Tara really done? How should we mourn her? Are you glad Sookie has coupled up with Alcide? Would you want Sam as your Mayor? And which vampire would you want as your protector?
Below, Round Table panelists, Carissa Pavlica, Chris O'Hara and Leigh Raines debate these questions and many more in relation to True Blood Season 7 Episode 1. Ready to join the discussion?!?
Tara is dead. REACT!
Chris: I am still not 100% sure she is dead, despite comments from Rutina Wesley. If she is, it was a crime the way she was killed off the show so unceremoniously. After all she's been through, she deserved better. If it is in fact true, an interesting theory out there is that her mother may have killed her. Still... we never saw any kind of reaction from Pam. As her Maker, she would have felt it. Unless, of course, she had previously released Tara, which I don't recall happening, despite numerous threats to do so.
Carissa: She was already dead. Now she's met the True Death. Thank God. Killing her the first time didn't really redeem the boring nature of Tara and they never fully explored what could have been between her and Pam. No offense, but in a limited season ending the series, let's get rid of empty luggage. Tara, check!
Leigh: I'm with Chris on this one, we never even saw the death. I'm skeptical. I feel like having her death offscreen was cheating us. She said in an interview that she went out in battle but we didn't even see that. Pam felt nothing. I would've preferred they killed Lettie Mae - I have LOATHED her since day one.
Will Pam find Eric?
Chris: Of course.
Carissa: She better. Or perhaps Eric will make his way home before Pam finds him. Perhaps their true arc is to realize their importance to each other and this will mean a future with the two of them filled with hot sex and snark. I can dig it.
Leigh: Yes. Eric is her maker and it doesn't matter if she was released, Pam is loyal as hell. She is definitely going to find him. I just have to wonder who initially saved him.
Are you glad Sookie is with Alcide?
Chris: I am, but even having the most badass werewolf on the planet as a boyfriend won't help her if she keeps taking walks alone at night in the dark. Seriously, Sook, haven't you learned by now?
Carissa: I was skeptical until their sex scene at the end. It was so sensual and you could tell they were "making love" and not just doing the deed. I'd take that kind of sex over Jason sex any day. Oh... glad. Yes. Yes! They have more chemistry than Sookie and Bill did and Eric is not for her. I'd be happy if they were together until the end... or True to the End, as it may be.
Leigh: Yes and no. I think they are really great together and I love Alcide. He can protect her, give her kids, go out in the sunlight and give her a real life. However, I personally feel like there is something missing there and I feel like it always comes back to Bill.
Would you vote Sam for Mayor?
Chris: For sure. In addition to be a dog lover, I think Sam is a great choice, certainly as good as any those days down there. He's a self made man, a local business owner and a fixture in the community.
Carissa: He runs the only restaurant/bar in town, he's trustworthy and cute. Food, booze, trust and looks. That's all you need for politics, right? Check, check, check, check!
Leigh: Absolutely. He ran the main institution in town and he has devoted himself to protecting the residents whether they knew it or not. Hello! He saved them all from a Maenad in True Blood Season 2! That was Sam kicking ass.
You're a human. Which vampire would you want to serve as your protector?
Chris: Common sense calling the shots, I'd have to go with Eric or Bill. That is, if they were really going to be on the ball and present. My inner Stackhouse however, would want Jessica. If I had to let anyone feed on me in return for their protection, it would be the amazing Ms. Hamby
Carissa: Jessica. Not even a hesitation there. Well, if Eric and Pam were around, I might consider them, but as they're not interested in looking after humans, Jessica wins without competition. The way she stood guard over Adilyn was so groovy and then she wanted to eat her. She stopped herself, sheesh! I'm not a faerie, so I'm good. Jessica is strong, loyal and sexy. What else could you want in your own personal vampire?
Leigh: Nobody is as badass as Eric. Remember him sneaking in an out of vamp camp last season? He is smart and can get shit done. Also wouldn't mind the newbie aka Jackson from The Originals. Hawt.
I too would feel a bit disappointed if Tara had gone out like that. I feel we could have explored the character better if it had been her mum that had been killed. A Tara out for revenge would be worthy! Took me a while to figure out the new James. I had to work to put him in but remember, the 'old' James didn't want to take the character where it had been written, so perhaps not a good outlook for him. Some betrayal of Jess perhaps in the future? Actors do invest, don't they? Loved Jess in this one. She's being built up as a character. I forsee a sad demise. Maybe I'm just channelling GRR Martin.....
Missed Bill and Eric in this one. Loved Pam's quest. Not sure why a vampire would choose to escape to hot, sunny, bright county though. I suspect he'll be a scarred mess when we catch up. So we'll get eric back - but not as we remembered him. Pam will sort it out.
Comment modified at
I don't think Tara is dead. I think she will return.
Comment modified at
No way Tara died off screen ! I just don't buy it ....I would choose her anyday to be my protective vamp ... she's bad ass and fights like hell. I can only imagine our conversations during her night watch, this would be so much fun ... all the gossips from her great blood line family members and human friends !
Just imagine all the questions you could ask about Eric to start with ...

Truckers purchasing agricultural produce for resale from persons other than producers are required to secure license under Commission Merchant's Act.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
November 8, 1954
Honorable Sverre N. OmdahlDirector, Department of AgricultureOlympia, Washington Cite as: AGO 53-55 No. 340
Attention: Mr. Joseph E. McCauley
Dear Sir:
This is in answer to your request for an opinion from this office on the question of whether or not persons who engage in the business of purchasing agricultural produce from wholesale dealers for the purpose of resale are required to be licensed under the Commission Merchants Act.
In our opinion, the answer to your question is "yes."
You have advised that certain persons purchase agricultural products from wholesale dealers and sell them to consumers on truck routes. Many of these persons hold City of Seattle Peddlers' Licenses and have for several years previously been licensed as cash buyers by your department. They now question your authority to require a license for their business activities.
A review of the history of the legislation relating to Commission Merchants indicates that considerable attention has been given to the matter by the legislature during the past 59 years, particularly with reference to the scope of the business activities regulated thereunder. We enclose a copy of an opinion issued by this office August 25, 1949 addressed to the Department of Agriculture [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] [[Opinion No. 49-51-114]]wherein is enumerated a complete recital of the legislative history of the Commission Merchants Act in this state. For the sake of brevity, we shall refer to only a few of the enactments in this analysis.
The Act of 1907 (chapter 139, Laws of 1907), regulating Commission Merchants, and repealing the former Act of 1895, defined a Commission Merchant as follows:
"* * * any person, firm or corporation whose principal business is the sale of farm, dairy, orchard or garden produce on account of the shipper or consignor." (Section 10)
The term "consignor" was not specifically defined, although the title to the act provided that it related to "persons selling far, dairy, orchard or garden produce on commission." The constitutionality of the 1907 Act was sustained in State v. Bowen, 86 Wash. 23.
In the Act of 1933 (chapter 67, Laws of 1933, p. 342), the legislature for the first time defined a Commission Merchant to include all persons or corporations who received any agricultural product to be sold on commission for the account of another, or:
"* * * who buys such product from the producer thereof for the purpose of resale * * *." (Emphasis supplied)
The constitutionality of this act was upheld in the case of Garretson v. Robinson, 178 Wash. 601, where the court at page 606 said:
"We now come to the question of whether there was any reasonable basis for requiring those who purchase agricultural products from the producer to comply with the provisions of the act and not require those who purchase from those other than the producer to comply therewith.
"It may be that, since the development of the automobile truck as a means of transportation of merchandise, there has grown up a business of considerable magnitude conducted by the operators of [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] trucks who buy directly from the producer, load it into their trucks, take it to the populous centers and there sell it to small dealers or consumers. In fact, it is so stated in appellants' brief. We cannot say, as a matter of law, that the evils that may have grown up in connection with this business were not different from those that would exist where the purchase was made from other than the producer. The legislature may have determined that the same incentive and opportunity for evil sought to be corrected did not present themselves where purchases of the products mentioned in the act were made from others than the producer."
While the Commission Merchants Act originally applied only to persons buying on commission, the Act of 1939 (chapter 197, Laws of 1939, codified in Title 20 RCW) extended its application to Commission Merchants, Credit Buyers and Cash Buyers.
A Commission Merchant and Credit Buyer is defined in RCW 20.04.050 to include:
"* * * any person who receives any agricultural product to be sold on commission, or for or on behalf of another with or without compensation, or who purchases or receives any agricultural product and who fails to pay in full for it at the time of receiving it or at the time its value may be determined, or who may contract with growers in such manner that the grower accepts seed as bailee and agrees to return the crop grown from such seed, the grower to be paid for services rendered in producing the crop."
A "cash buyer" is defined in RCW 20.04.060 to include:
"* * *any person who purchases or offers to purchase any agricultural product for the purpose of processing or resale and who pays in full, in cash or by check that shall be paid on presentation, for such agricultural product at the time of receiving it or at the time the price of the agricultural product [[Orig. Op. Page 4]] may be determined if the price or value is subject to determination by inspection, grade, test, or pack out." (Emphasis supplied)
RCW 20.08.010 provides:
"No person without a license shall receive or purchase, sell or offer for sale, promote the sale of, or solicit consignments for sale on commission, or for the purpose of resale or processing, any agricultural product." (Emphasis supplied)
It must be presumed that the legislature in passing a statute had knowledge of existing statutes. Graffell v. Honeysuckle, 30 Wn. (2d) 390, and cases cited therein. Where the legislature changes a portion of a statute it must be assumed that the change was intended to supply some want, to fill some deficiency, or to add something to make existing legislation more complete. Consumers Cooperative Association v. The State Commission of Revenue and Taxation, 256 P. (2d) 850 (Kan.). Thus inGraffell v. Honeysuckle, supra, our court at page 399 of its opinion said:
"In construing statutes which re‑enact, with certain changes, or repeal other statutes, or which contain revisions or codification of earlier laws, resort to repealed and superseded statutes may be had, and is of great importance in ascertaining the intention of the legislature, for, where a material change is made in the wording of a statute, a change in legislative purpose must be presumed. In re Phillips' Estate, 193 Wash. 194, 74 P. (2d) 1015, and cases therein cited;Great Northern R. Co. v. Cohn, 3 Wn. (2d) 672, 101 P. (2d) 985;Longview Co. v. Lynn, 6 Wn. (2d) 507, 108 P. (2d) 365."
The judicial interpretations indicate that generally the purpose of acts of this nature are for the protection of every person selling certain farm products to licensed Commission Merchants and Cash Buyers. Specifically, the purpose of the acts is to protect the producers of farm products by assuring them a financially reliable market. Bodied v. Edgerton, 58 N.W. (2d) 313 (Minn.); Leasure v. Clarkin, 8 N.W. (2d) 521 (Minn.). Inasmuch as the legislature specifically enlarged the application of the Commission Merchants Act in 1939, it must be [[Orig. Op. Page 5]] assumed that the legislature determined that the same incentive and opportunity for evil to be corrected existed where purchases of the commodities defined in the act were made from others than producers. This was the situation mentioned by the court in the Garretson case.
In addition, a review of the title to the Commission Merchants Act reveals that the act is one relating to persons engaged in buying and selling agricultural products. Nowhere in the title of the act or the definition of the terms is the application of the act restricted only to those persons who purchase agricultural products directly from producers, nor have the judicial opinions construing this act directly decided the matter. To the contrary, the provisions apply to the business operations of persons receiving or purchasing agricultural products, promoting the sale thereof, soliciting consignments, reselling or processing such products.
For example, RCW 20.16.020 requires that a cash buyer render "to the consignor or vendor" a statement showing the agricultural products received. A consignor is specifically defined in RCW 20.04.070 to mean:
"* * * any person forwarding, delivering, consigning, shipping or selling as the producer thereof any agricultural product to any commission merchant and credit buyer or cash buyer for resale or processing."
To follow the rule of statutory construction requiring that effect be given to each and every word in an enactment indicates that the legislature intended persons purchasing from other than producers or consignors to be included in the act.
In view of the foregoing authority, it is the opinion of this office that persons purchasing agricultural products from wholesale dealers and selling them to consumers are required to be licensed under the Commission Merchants Act as cash buyers.
We sincerely hope that the foregoing information will be of assistance to you in this matter.
Very truly yours,
DON EASTVOLDAttorney General

My daughter and I stayed in Burbank for almost 2 weeks this September. Not only was the owner PJ so amazingly helpful, but the property was more than we expected! Its definitely a home away from home. Everything you need is there as well as being extremely clean and well kept. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and you are only a stones throw from NBC and Warner Bros studios among others. The only thing I would do differently next time is to rent a car, although city transit is only within a half block, if you plan to sightsee around to Disney etc, a car would come in handy. We will definitely return again and again to this holiday home! Thank you PJ for a wonderful stay!!
We would come back anytime!
We spent 14 days in Laurie´s lovely house and we loved it!It´s situated in a nice,quiet and friendly area-shopping facilities just a few min. away...It´s perfect for families with Teenagers!

NEWS: Toronto's award-winning "Worldwide Wakeup Show" says goodbye after more than a decade
From Path Mark Media:
Toronto, ON (Canada) April 30, 2010 – After an illustrious fifteen years of amazing and entertaining broadcasts, the dynamic on-air duo of DJ Chief and Jester closed the final curtain on Canada's beloved Worldwide Wake Up Show. Last Thursday at 8:05am, Jester and Chief were informed that last week's broadcast would be the show's final airing on CIUT 89.5 FM.
Boasting what was undeniably one of the most polished on-air productions in Canada, The Worldwide Wake Up Show is a two-time award-winning institution in college radio broadcasting. Worldwide beat out shows across the country in 2008 and 2009 consecutively to claim the title of College Radio Show Of The Year at Canada's esteemed Stylus DJ Awards, and fans across the country voted to nominate the show again this year (2010). The Worldwide Wake Up Show now stands ready to potentially three-peat at the Stylus Awards this year – a feat which would place Jester, Chief and Worldwide in the history books for this particular highly-coveted Stylus Award category.
To say this is a pretty big blow to the city's already shaky urban infrastructure is an understatement and points to the sobering reality that we cannot afford to take our local urban media for granted. It also points to the importance of all our local media outlets to stop acting like omnipotent, autonomous islands. Our strength is in our understanding that we are still in an era of building, not competing. If there was more synergy between ALL local radio shows, deejays, blogs and associated media claiming to have the city's best interests at heart, there'd be less of a chance of something like this happening on our collective watch.
Respect to Jester & Chief for doing what they've done for so long (with little in the way of tangible reciprocated returns).
The bottom-line is if we continue to think intangible, self-serving gestures of 'love' for our local urban scene are gonna cut it then we're all in for a pretty big surprise.
Full press release after the jump!

What good is a gift certificate
Posted by
SHELBYVILLE, KENTUCKY -- I went into the Beef O Brady's in Shelbyville Ky on 6/28/2011. I had been given a gift certificate from my boss to be used. It was giving to him for a mistake that had happened in Corydon, IN. The restaurant in Shelbyville would not honor the gift certificate. Nowhere on the certificate does it specify where it can or cannot be used. I live over an hour away from Corydon. I work in the restaurant business and if it doesn't specify a specific location we are to use the gift card, certificate, or coupon. Now I am holding a$10 Gift Certificate that is of no use. I did explain that it was for a mistake made and I was still told I couldn't use it. The employees had to call the owner to see if they even could use it. I never saw a manager or was contacted by one. During our visit a man came in and introduced himself to a Hostess and said he was the owner. If I was the owner I would have been checking to see if the customer in question was still there and be sure of the certificate. He never came by either. There were people sitting at the bar and they were going in and out of the kitchen area.
I just would like to be able to use this Gift Certificate where I live. I guess you all don't care when a customer complains because you hand out a certificate that is of no used to them.

Old Food Guy on 07/22/2011:
I'm a little surprised that someone who claims to be in the restaurant business wouldn't understand. Those two franchises are likely owned by different people,why would one be happy to pay for the other's mistake? Also, what kind of cheapskate gives a "gift" given to him to someone else to use? He probably "re-gifts" birthday and Christmas presents too! (Does he give old Chia Pets as Holiday gifts?) Seriously though, the owner in Shelbyville should have taken the certificate and asked the Corydon owner for ten bucks. Everyone would have been happy, and only the Corydon guy would have been out the difference between the food cost of a $10 meal and $10 cash. Beef 'O' Brady's franchisees are usually working owners that have one or two stores, not fat-cat millionaires that own 50 stores. Some of them may not be making much (if any)money in these tough times, so that $10 may be a bigger deal than you think. Just send an email to their corporate website, and it will get handled,I'm sure. You may just have to do a little more work to get your free food!

Stock ETFs and the Yen
NEW YORK ( ETF Expert) -- Investors who own individual municipal bonds, real estate investment trusts, corporate bonds and/or preferreds may not see the day-to-day volatility of their holdings. For one thing, individual bond prices may not update regularly on web sites; similarly, those who do not value the liquidity of ETFs are less likely to watch price movement of their individual REITs and/or preferred stocks.
On the other hand, ETF enthusiasts tend to be folks who have a plan to sell. They're not married to their investments. In fact, if an asset class is trending significantly lower, they may leave the asset class until it comes back into favor. In essence, exchange-traded fund fans are less inclined to "buy-n-hold."
The fact that you can trade ETFs is frequently regarded as an advantage. However, there are times when the power to decide when to hold and when to fold serves as a double-edged sword. For example, the recent upswing in interest rates initially created a rational market-based response whereby rate-sensitive income producers (e.g., high-yield bonds, preferreds, dividend stocks, etc.) fell in price.
In the ETF world, however, initial selling promoted a less rational firestorm to dump REIT ETFs and emerging market bond ETFs at all costs; rates hadn't surged high enough to justify the level of hostility that occurred. (See this article.)In the current week, 10-year yields have stabilized near 2.2%. Yet, contagion is spreading to Preferred Stock ETFs as well as more innocuous areas like Muni ETFs. Both of these rate-sensitive areas are witnessing daily percentage price declines far greater than common stock ETFs, and that's a phenomenon that market-watchers rarely witness. In some instances, the activity is representing "regular Joes" who choose to sell now and ask questions another day. More likely, however, institutional money managers, opportunistic short-sellers and heads of hedge funds are forcing "Mr. Retail" to think, blink and potentially sell in a panic. Even though sellers have concentrated on any asset type that can be tied to rising interest rates, common stock ETFs are not immune. Daily price volatility for the SPDR Dow Jones Industrials (DIA) is averaging 1.25% month-over-month. Daily price volatility for the prior 4 1/2 months was closer to 0.75%.

Adam Levine Will Be Loved
By Shana Naomi Krochmal
Photography by Yu Tsai | Styling by Grant Woolhead
In concert, Adam Levine slinks across the stage with a seductive, easy confidence. He is, in a word, cocksure. There's a calculated tease, a sly wink across a room big enough to hold a small town. When the front man for Maroon 5 sings that he's "got the moves like Jagger," it's a ballsy boast, but not entirely out of line.
On The Voice, where he is one of four celebrity judges, Levine is confined to a high-backed throne that he spins around to indicate his belief that an unseen voice -- the voice, perhaps -- might be the one to win $100,000 and a recording contract. The Voice is more complicated than American Idol -- but also more fun, more diverse, and, because its celebrity coaches are on the hook to produce real talent, ultimately more satisfying to watch.
Stuck in that glorified swivel chair, watching the singers on his team compete, Levine wraps his tattooed arms -- a crouching tiger; a classic shout-out to mom; the number 222, a reference to his band's first recording studio -- around the seat's built-in table, pounding his fists with excitement that one of his prodigies has just nailed it. During the finale, he can barely contain himself while praising Javier Colon, the vocalist from Team Adam who ultimately wins. "Everyone knows you're an amazing singer, but what they may not know is that you're such an amazing guy," he says. "I've grown so close to you as a friend, and I've got so much love for you. And it's really hard for me to root for someone that I don't genuinely--" He chokes up. Clearing his throat, he tries again: "That I don't genuinely love very much."
Colon may have won the grand prize, but it's Levine who became The Voice's big breakout star. The show set records for its social media tie-ins, and many of the viewers who flooded Twitter with their commentary seemed to have little knowledge of Levine's previous life, beyond a vague recollection of Maroon 5's radio mainstays like "This Love," "She Will Be Loved," and "Makes Me Wonder."

Then to Now
It was a cold day (or so we can only assume) in December 1964 when Joseph Derr, Joe Schaeffer, and a handful of boys started a new Boy Scout troop at Holy Communion Lutheran Church. From the beginning Troop 48 set out to be different, starting with purple kerchiefs that Scoutmaster Joe Derr picked out for the troop. Their first summer, they skipped the usual Boy Scout summer camp that most Boy Scouts troop attended. Instead, Mr. Derr took the boys for a week of water skiing and camping at Roger's Rock Campground at Lake George in New York. This tradition of camping at Lake George in the summer continued well into the 1980s, and the tradition of a non-summer camp summer trip continues to this day. For the first twenty years, the program was very successful. Troop 48 canoed on the Wading River; journeyed to Jamestown and Yorktown, Virginia; attended Klondike Derbies at Pine Hill Scout Reservation; built large and impressive pioneering projects at Big Timber Camp-er-ees (some of the signs announcing them still hang in the shed), and camped frequently in the nearby Pine Barrens. Scores of boys were able to experience camping and the outdoors, and more than two dozen boys made the rank of Eagle Scout.
In 1984, Scoutmaster Joe Derr retired from his Scoutmaster position after 20 years (although he would serve as the Committee Chairperson for many more years). He handed the reins to Gary Lake, who had grown up with the troop, making Eagle before heading to college. After college, he returned as an Assistant Scoutmaster before moving up to Scoutmaster. At one point early in the 1980s, the troop had shrunk to a mere 4 boys. Gary (as he has always been called by his boys) began to grow the troop, both in culture and in numbers. Class A uniforms were replaced by purple t-shirts with the motto "We Do More Before Breakfast Than Most Troops Do All Day" proudly printed on the back. The troop branched out on their summer trips, leaving behind Lake George for backpacking adventures on the Appalachian Trail (the first 50 miler backpacking trip completed in 1988 on the Appalachian Trail in New Jersey), the White Mountains of New Hampshire (1993), Shenandoah National Park in Virginia (1994), the Smokey Mountains (1998), and Ohiopyle (2001) and other places, with high adventure aspects for troop members of all ages. Popular trips through these years were Rodney Scout Reservation, Goshen Pond, Gettysburg, our own Klondike Derbies (we swept 1-2-3-4 in 1994 at districts and stopped attending for the next decade), and Rosedale Gun Club. The troop expanded to 3 patrols, then 4, then 5, then 8. Thanks to Gary and a crack team of dedicated parents, by the late 1990s and early 2000s, Troop 48 boasted a membership of over 100 boys.
It was during this time period (2000 or 2001) that Troop 48 also became involved with the Battleship New Jersey, helping to do work on her even before she landed at the Camden waterfront. The relationship has continued for more than a decade, including dozens of work parties, 3 or 4 Eagle projects on the ship, multiple Eagle Court of Honors on board, and having our Troop flag flown from the mast. The troop is honored to be officially listed among the roster of the ship's volunteers.
In 2004, Gary Lake retired from his job and relocated to Western Pennsylvania to start his own business. He sadly retired from his long-held position of Scoutmaster as well. Taking his place was his cousin, Chris Farrell. Chris served as Scoutmaster from 2004 to 2009. He helped guide 16 new boys to Eagle, including both of his sons, and helped keep the troop moving with an active and adventurous camping schedule. The highlight of Chris's tenure (and one of the all-time highlights of Troop 48) came in 2006 when Chris Farrell and Assistant Scoutmaster Andrew Johnson led eight boys on a ten day expedition to Philmont National Scout Camp in New Mexico. All told, they completed over 100 miles of hiking and backpacking and made a lifetime of memories in a week and a half and set a new, higher bar for the troop for what high adventure could be.
But by 2007, the troop had visibly shrunk again. Older boys had stayed active and involved, but the troop simply wasn't recruiting much new blood. The troop, which had so recently numbered over 100, had shrunk to less than 20 scouts, most of them only a few years away from aging out themselves. Newer troops in the area had taken over some of the Troop's historical recruitment areas, Cub Scouts were crossing over to other places, the troop's longtime feeder Pack, Pack 48, had disbanded… the end of Troop 48 had become a real possibility. Former troop members began to hear rumors that the troop was in trouble. Just as Gary Lake had heard the call to return to his old troop back in the 1980s, others began to heed the call themselves. As early as 2002, the boys-turned-men began to trickle back. Starting in 2008, this trickle became a flood as more than a dozen former Troop 48 Scouts took up varied levels of commitment to the troop, serving as Assistant Scoutmasters, the Committee Chair, Troop Quartermaster, Merit Badge Counselors, or simply showing up to a meeting to keep an eye on things. Even those who were not directly involved attended fundraisers, showed up at Court of Honors, came on the odd trip, donated old equipment, sent in their old patches… helping in whatever way that they could. In 2010, the Troop 48 Alumni Association was formed, holding its first annual Alumni Campout in 2011, in what has become an annual tradition. In December 2009, Mike McCormick became the 4th Scoutmaster of Troop 48. Infused with the energy of these returning Scouts, pushed along by a return of emphasis on the patrol system and on having the boys of the troop make the decisions, the Troop began to grow. 2010 saw the Troop's 100th Eagle Scout. Exciting summer trips to Lake Champlain in Vermont (2009), Acadia National Park in Maine (2010), and Ohiopyle in Pennsylvania (2011) introduced a new generation of boys to the fun of high-adventure summer trips. Weekend trips grew bigger and better by the month. Backpacking returned in a big way when the troop completed its first 50 miler in five years in April 2011 on the Batona Trail, following it up just four months later with another 50 miler on the Laurel Highlands Trail. By 2013, the Troop had grown to more than 40 boys and is still growing.
In August 2012, the troop embarked on it's most ambitious trip to date - an 11 day trip to Wyoming, including four days in Yellowstone National Park and six days backpacking in Grand Teton National Park. The troop continues to hold a multitude of camping trips, including 14 of them in 2012, and continues to grow ever larger. With a group of leaders giving to the next generation what was given to them as Scouts, teamed up with dedicated parents and adult leaders who Scouts left the troop long ago, and a great group of kids taking charge of their troop, anything is possible.

Memory Lane… "The 69 summer trip was supposed to be to a Lake George campground - the one we always stayed at - Rogers Rock Public Campground. You will see a bus in some of the pictures - we traveled in that for a year or two. Anyway since the leaders never really came out and told us - the best I can gather the campground was never booked or something so there was a mad dash to figure out where the troop could stay. Somehow we ended up staying on the grounds at Fort Ticonderoga. It was a great trip because we would sneak into the fort at night and scare ourselves to death. There was a bagpipe player that would occupy the fort during the day and play for the people visiting. One night either he or someone else put him up to going out in the field - which you can see in some of the pictures, below us toward Lake Champlain - to play the bagpipe and try to scare us. Well we didn't scare very easy so as I remember three of us started running to catch him not seeing the cow fence made of wire. I can't remember if it was me or one of the others but someone hit that fence waist high and flipped over the fence into a nice cowpie. Didn't stop us though - we still ran through the field and cowpies but to no avail - he eluded us. But great memories though. The next day in the fort the bagpipe player never fessed up - but he was smiling a lot." ~ Gary Lake Have a Troop 48 memory? Add it here by e-mailing the webmaster.

Eureka Review: "The Story of O2"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
This week's Eureka episode, "The Story of O2," had so many good parts to it; I am at a loss for where to start. I think I will start by congratulating Collin Ferguson on his directorial debut, as he did a great job directing this episode!
It was great to see Zoe again. I was worried with her off to Harvard we would not see here at all anymore. I am glad that she will be making some appearances here and there.
It is amazing how much both the actress (Jordan Hinson) and Zoe has grown in the last three seasons of this show. I absolutely love it when a show allows a character to grow and mature instead of either ignoring that they are getting older or worse, replacing them with a younger actor/actress to keep the character young.
While last week I was sad that Tess and Carter broke up, this week I was pleasantly surprised to see Jo and Zane making some tiny steps forward. It started with Jo trusting Zane and letting him go, believing he was a good person down deep, which he proved by not bailing and hanging around. The icing on the cake was when Zane calling her "Jojo" as he always did in the previous reality. I really hope they are able to find their way back to romance. I am sure there will be twist and turns, but it was nice to see a glimmer of possibility.
Who saw Allison cheating? That was a total shocker to me. I honestly thought Larry was cheating (which he did by removing the self-destruct module, I'm just saying). It felt like that was totally out of character for her. I get that she is trying to connect to her son now that he is not autistic in this reality, but I really didn't see cheating to help him win being on the menu. However, there was a great message in there when Kevin said he would rather lose than win by cheating. One thing none of them have asked about is that so much is different what about Nathan? Is he still dead? I can understand that he could be, but I am surprised his name has not even come up.As child of the 80s I watched a lot of sci-fi growing up - Buck Rogers, V, Battlestar Galactica - and I have to say the homage to all of those shows tonight was awesome. If you didn't catch it, after it is determined the rockets returning is going to be bad, they showed the rockets with the earth at the top of the screen with this dramatic 80s music two or three times. That scene is right out of so many 80s Sci-Fi shows I dare not even try to count. This was my personal icing on the cake for this episode.
I did also very much enjoyed the way they explained a different actor playing Deputy Andy. It fit totally within the show and given that he is a robotic officer, it makes sense that he could look different after being horribly damaged. Especially when he comments on how he looks different. Way to make the elephant in the room dance for peanuts!
This episode had so many good things with it, I would have given it my first 5.0 rating ever had it not been for one thing; Jamie Kennedy guest staring as scientist. If you are a Jamie Kennedy fan, please know I am not digging at him personally or his comedic style. However, it was the worst casting of a character I have ever seen on this show. There is nothing about him that says "scientist"; especially when they either allowed him to write his dialog or had him contribute to it. The "urban" lingo just does not fit into Eureka. I might have been ok with him as a scientist if his dialog had not been *so* bad.
So what did you think of the episode? Are you looking forward to the cross-over next week with Claudia from Warehouse 13 making a visit? Sound off below, tell us what you think.
Here are a few Eureka quotes from the episode, as well:
Carter: You wanted aggression.
Zoe: (nods)
Carter: I think you're gonna get an "A".
Zoe: Think? | permalink
Zoe: I shouldn't have yelled.
Carter: No you shouldn't ... ah ... water ... bridge ... got it. | permalink
Deputy Andy: Huh, I seem to be conflagrating, weird. | permalink
Jo: Andy, can you go out to the launch site and check for crows, they may be acting drunk.
Deputy Andy: Drunk crows, I'm on it! | permalink
Deputy Andy: I am really enjoying the higher cheekbones. | permalink

I'm surprised people are so positive about this episode. Ferguson does a great job as Carter, but he's got a long way to go before he makes a decent director. The lighting was totally off, there were way to many cuts and almost every shot was a close-up of whoever was talking at the time. Also, the rockets looked cheap and unconvincing. Obviously, it was only his second attempt, so no doubt he'll improve, but it didn't compare well to the usual standard of direction. It looked like an episode of Home And Away or Neighbours.
Glad you mentioned Nathan; I was wondering the same thing. The actor's character was killed off on 'True Blood', so maybe he's free to come back? We're heading into August sweeps, so who knows? It would make for a great ratings stunt. I also like the new Andy, although I liked the previous actor as well. I hope this one stays around awhile, although I could see this become a running gag with continuous recasting.
Thank you Alphawox, You are indeed correct, this was actually Collin's 2nd episode as director. Still did an amazing job.
I think the whole '"urban� lingo' was because maybe his character had been exposed to the thingy. when Zane was exposed to it, he went into a drunk-mode. maybe he did too? loved this episode!!! almost my fav XD colin f did so well at it :)
Colin Ferguson also directed episode 310, "Your Face Or Mine".

Sailor's adoption update
A year ago today we adopted Sailor, and it was the best fit we could ask for, he made himself right at home upon entering the living room; he jumped up onto the couch. Sailor is an excitable boy, and yangs out on a daily, and on the quick too. So, Mac needs to yin his little brother in, and he does it well.
Mac is cool, circumspect and tenacious. Sailor, is by osmosis, slowly absorbing Mac's vibe; however, I would not say he is cool; yet. Circumspect, eh, sometimes. Tenacious, fahgettaboutit, he barks and then hides between our legs to face his adversary. Nevertheless, he and Mac are the most amusing little guys; better than anything on Network TV. We feel very lucky that we could give this dog a good home. Summer's coming, and we are determined to get the boys out on the sailboat; can't wait!

State Investments boosts infrastructure, community and economic development for the Gateway City and regional economy
SALEM – Tuesday, February 28, 2012 – Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray today joined state and local officials in Salem to highlight recent state investments in the Gateway City, including $420,960 for the Splaine Park and the dedication of the new $106 million courthouse in the city's downtown district.
"Our Administration continues to focus on Gateway cities, like Salem, as we invest in critical infrastructure, job creation and economic development across the Commonwealth," said Lieutenant Governor Murray. "By working with Mayor Driscoll and the City of Salem, the construction of the new Salem Courthouse will provide a boost for economic activity in the city's downtown district and investments in Splaine Park will enhance recreational activities for the Salem community."
Lieutenant Governor Murray first joined Mayor Kimberley Driscoll at City Hall to highlight $420,960 for the Splaine Park in Salem. This investment is part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities (PARC) grant program which recently awarded $14 million in grants to enhance parks and recreational facilities in 25 communities throughout the Commonwealth.
"A big part of our commitment to land conservation is investing in cities and towns and our Gateway City Parks program helps conserve green space in urban areas, invigorating neighborhoods and improving the lives of residents across the state," said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Richard K. Sullivan, Jr. "This project highlights the value Governor Patrick has placed on parks and open space protection, utilizing strong public-private partnerships to effect positive change in our cities."
PARC grant funding for Splaine Park will support the removal of overgrown vegetation, the construction of a stone dust bike/walking path along the park perimeter, the enhancement of the two main entrances, the construction of play structures, the installation of a new baseball field and irrigation system and rebuilding of the bleachers and dugouts.
The PARC program, formerly Urban Self-Help, was established in 1977 to assist cities and towns in acquiring and developing land for park and outdoor recreation purposes. PARC grants are offered on a competitive basis and reimburse communities between 52 and 70 percent of the total project cost, determined by the municipal demographics, with a maximum grant award of $500,000. Through the PARC grant program as well as the Gateway Cities Parks Program, the Administration has invested more than $72.9 million since 2007, resulting in the creation or restoration of 154 parks.
Lieutenant Governor Murray also celebrated the dedication of Salem District Courthouse today joined by judicial officials and local lawmakers at the new $106 million downtown courthouse. The new Salem Courthouse is a 191,000 square foot facility that exemplifies energy efficiency and sustainable design principals, designed for LEED Silver certification. The facility houses the Superior, District, Housing and Juvenile court departments and the Essex County Law Library which is housed in a historic former church building attached to the new structure.
"This project demonstrates the Patrick-Murray Administration's commitment to modernizing our court facilities and helping communities revitalize their downtown centers," said Secretary of Administration and Finance Jay Gonzalez. "Our prudent fiscal management has earned the Commonwealth its highest bond ratings in history – this means we are able to make critical infrastructure investments like this one at a lower cost to taxpayers, create new jobs and secure the Commonwealth's economic future."
"The Patrick-Murray Administration is committed to developing energy efficient, consolidated court facilities that combine new infrastructure and state of the art technology to better serve the people of the Commonwealth," said Division of Capital Asset Management Commissioner Carole Cornelison. "I would like to commend the design and construction teams for serving as such excellent partners on this project."
Together with the existing Probate and Family Court Building, which is approved to move into final design for a comprehensive renovation, the new modern courthouse will serve Salem and its surrounding communities for generations and will provide the courts and the public with a state of the art comprehensive justice center – all of the courts services will be provided through a single efficient complex.
The courthouse, which began construction in 2007, is named for former State Representative J. Michael Ruane. It features 11 courtrooms including transaction/support space for Trial Court operations, detainee holding areas, a sally port for transporting detainees, record storage, mechanical areas, the Pro Se Center, the Adult Court Clinic and the court-related portion of the Essex District Attorney's Office.
At its peak, construction of this project supported 500 construction jobs, keeping with the Administration's commitment to create new jobs and spur economic growth through investing in the Commonwealth's infrastructure.
"Lieutenant Governor Murray has a keen understanding of the challenges facing our municipalities," said Senator Frederick Berry. "He has always been there for Salem; whether it be for local issues such as park improvements, or large scale regional projects such as the court house complex. The entire Patrick Administration has consistently supported strong economic development projects, job creation programs and a first rate education for the North Shore."
"I am most grateful to the Patrick-Murray Administration for its commitment to this project and to the City of Salem," said Representative John Keenan. "The significance of this multi-million dollar infrastructure investment in Salem's downtown is historic. I would also like to thank Senator Berry for his leadership and support through this process. Today is a proud day for the City of Salem and much credit and appreciation is owed to this building's namesake and the name that appears on the wall outside the First Session, two of Salem's greatest public servants, the late Representative J. Michael Ruane and Chief Justice Samuel E. Zoll. In addition, I offer sincere thanks to Secretary Sullivan and the Patrick-Murray Administration for the financial award to renovate Splaine Park. I applaud the Administration's continued commitment to land conservation and preservation of many of the treasured areas in urban communities such as Splaine Park in Salem. These funds will be put to good use."
"I appreciate the continued support Salem receives from the Patrick-Murray Administration," said Mayor Kimberley Driscoll. "The opening of the J. Michael Ruane Judicial Center will provide the region with a modern and accessible court complex that will also help boost Salem's downtown. And thanks to this PARC Grant, Splaine Park will receive some much needed improvements and bring us closer to the goal of upgrading all of Salem's parks."
Prior to highlighting investments in Splain Park and the Salem District Courthouse, Lieutenant Governor Murray also visited the Salem Community Child Care Program today to highlight Massachusetts as a recipient in President Obama's Early Learning Challenge competition. In December, the Patrick-Murray Administration announced that Massachusetts was one of nine grant award winners in the competition and will receive significant funding over the next four years to expand high quality early education services and close achievement gaps in education.
The Patrick-Murray Administration has made numerous investments in the Commonwealth's Gateway Cities. The Administration has implemented the following strategy to make the state's Gateway Cities communities centers of economic activity:
- Make long-term investments in education, innovation and infrastructure, with special attention to the growth potential of each city's entrepreneurs and small businesses.
- Leverage the potential of each community's distinctive assets, including their educational, medical and cultural institutions and their historic buildings and neighborhoods.
- Connect Gateway Cities to other local, state and global centers of innovation and economic activity.
In keeping with this strategy, the Patrick-Murray Administration has made the following Gateway City investments:
- $1,855,536,592 in Chapter 70 Education Funding and Unrestricted Local Aid in 2009.
- Over $1 billion in active construction contracts through MassDOT.
- Over $20 million in Gateway City Parks grants for park projects in 24 cities.
- $109,150,534 since 2007 in public safety grants for police and fire departments and non- profit agencies to maintain staffing levels and combat violence.
- $17,484,882 since 2007 in Workforce Training Grants.

By Post Staff There may be no scientific proof of life beyond Earth, but that didn't make the alien spaceship landing at DeJean Middle School any less exciting to student Celsa De La Cruz. "You can get inside it, and you feel like you're actually in space!" said De La Cruz, a seventh grader at DeJean, who was among more than 1,500 Richmond students who had the opportunity to board a model UFO, touch a rocket missile and go for a ride in the multi-access space simulator as part of the Traveling Space Museum's "Space Day." Sponsored by the For Richmond coalition, a new community service organization in Richmond, "Space Day" brought a dozen interactive and shocking space-themed attractions to DeJean for the day on Friday, May 17. "What these kids learn today, they remember and Space Day is all about giving students the opportunity to soak up new ideas," said Ivor Dawson, founder and president of the Traveling Space Museum, Inc., an award-winning organization that brings the wonders of space to students in elementary and middle schools across the U.S. For Richmond sponsored the event as part of its mission to improve the quality of education in Richmond by increasing access to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs, expose students to new, science-oriented ideas and increase academic performance. This is the third space-themed event For Richmond has sponsored; earlier this year, the coalition organized two traveling space exhibits at Richmond elementary schools in partnership with the Chabot Space & Science Center. "This puts science in a whole different context, and makes it really exciting for these students," said Madeline Kronenberg, For Richmond education chair and board president of the West Contra Costa Unified School District. "These kinds of opportunities make science education come alive – students will not soon forget the experience of being spun around in a space simulator." DeJean History Teacher Doug Marques said teachers were also thrilled with the exhibit – and thankful to For Richmond for sponsoring it – because this kind of interactive programming helps elevate the classroom curriculum. Even English teachers were talking about developing writing assignments based on the day of space fun, Marques said. "This kind of program is great because it gets kids excited to learn and dream about their own futures and careers," he said. For De La Cruz and the other students who had the chance to see a 17-foot-long full-motion flight simulator, learn how to flush a space toilet and touch a Lunar Roving vehicle, among other activities, Space Day was simply about experiencing something new and novel. "It's cool because I get to see something I've never seen before," she said. "I loved it!" For more information about the Traveling Space Museum, visit http://www.travelingspacemuseum.org/.

Episode Title:Created Equal
The high ideals of the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal" didn't make it into the Constitution in 1787. It took three-quarters of a century, and a bloody civil war, before the Fourteenth Amendment of 1868 made equality a constitutional right and gave the federal government the power to enforce it.The far-reaching changes created by that amendment established new notions of citizenship, equal protection, due process and personal liberty. Today, those notions are being used to fight for same-sex marriage, voting rights, affirmative action and immigration reform.

Goodbye Toledo
Buildings Downtown
Originally uploaded by Foodmomiac.
When I was 14, Grandma Ana took me on a belated Bat Mitzvah trip to Western Canada (the original plan was France, but Qaddafi was terrorizing the world so we decided to stay on this continent). This was my first big adventure, and my excitement was overwhelming. I was so excited that I thought the trip wouldn't happen. I remember locking my bedroom windows, because I was sure I would be kidnapped before the trip could happen. I was positive that I would be killed, kidnapped, maimed, etc. None of the above happened, thank goodness, and I had my first adventure. It really happened.
That's how I feel now. I've wanted to leave for so long. I've wanted to be somewhere new, somewhere exciting, for so long. I can't believe that it will really happen. I can't comprehend the fact that I will be living in a city with amenities. That I will be able to walk to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, small local coffee shop (or Starbucks), the library, a cute frozen custard joint, a breakfast joint, the bar, or over to one of the many neighborhood parks. Will this really be my life? It's so different from my current reality.
And, as I try to comprehend this new reality, I say goodbye to Toledo. I say goodbye to:
- gorgeous dilapidated buildings that can take your breath away when the light hits them just right
- enjoying a Mud Hens game at Fifth Third field, an absolutely amazing place to take in a baseball game
- Americanized ethnic eateries like The Beirut, Tony Packo's and Inky's Pizza
- having grandparents less than 10 minutes away
- mullet-spotting - I know there are mullets everywhere, but we have some real doozies in Toledo
- the fabulous ladies of Bunco, though they have promised to come visit for a weekend of shopping and eating in early November
- soft-serve ice cream stands with names like Fritzie Freeze, Toozer's, Sparky's, Mr. Freeze and Jim Dandy
- serving beer at the German-American festival every August
- our favorite bartender, Scott at Real Seafood
- walking around our neighborhood and saying hi to friends on their porches
- this house - it might seem strange to hear me say that, because we've wanted out for so long, but so many wonderful things happened in this house. We had both kids while living here, and for that alone, this house will always hold a special place in my heart.
Goodbye Toledo.

The only conundrum larger than deciding whether to hire a financing consultant is how and how much you should pay one.
Often the first great divide in the compensation question is whether equity-aka a piece of the action-is involved. Robb says that while it's common to give up equity, in general it's not a good idea. "You want to limit the number of minority shareholders you have," he says. "They can cause problems down the road by themselves or in the eyes of other investors." Second, he says, if you issue stock to intermediaries before they raise any money, and they fail, you end up with shareholders you might not want.
The optimal compensation structure, according to Robb, consists of an upfront retainer and an accomplishment fee to be paid on closing and receipt of funds. "The upfront retainer might range from a low of $5,000 to as much as $25,000," he says. In the crudest sense, this is so-called "pay attention" money. It lets the consultant know you are serious and will listen to the advice he or she gives you. "The problem with pure contingency arrangements is that any and all advice prior to a deal is perceived as free and is often treated that way," says Robb.
As for the percentage of the amount raised, Robb says 5 percent is typical, though he points out that there are very few hard and fast rules. He adds that while 5 percent may seem like a lot, it's fair if you get a good deal. Says Robb, "If an advisor costs you 5 percent of the amount you raise, it's a good value because that allows you to concentrate on the true cost and terms of the other 95 percent of the deal."

Political Stardom Profitable for Obama
29th September 2007
Read it. Not that he's alone. If asked, "Why are you running for President?", not a one of them would give a straight answer.
The question I have: Why this particular article about this particular candidate at this particular time? For someone looking for self-interested sleaze, I'd say Hillary or John Edwards would be the natural targets. Barak's not a crook like those two; he's just got an excess of self-esteem — he thinks he really is The Magic Negro. So why focus on his finances?
