I: The Real World outside the Door
Only a short distance from this cathedral there are many theaters. The performers and the audience spend a relatively brief time within them, and then at the end of the performance leave the world of illusion and go through the exit doors into the world in which they really live: Toronto. That primary, external world is the governing context for what takes place within the secondary world of the theater, for the performances on stage are an artificial construct, designed to reflect some aspect of the life which occurs in the real world outside.
That primary world - of Toronto, of Ontario and Canada, and of this planet - which gives meaning to all that happens on a theatrical stage, is in turn itself dependent upon a greater reality, which is its governing context. Eventually we all exit from this life, as we do from any theater, and we do so through the doorway marked death. What we find beyond that doorway is the real world which is the essential reference point for our brief life on earth. John Henry Newman expressed this fact through his epitaph: it is at the end of our life that we move from shadows and illusion into the truth.
It would be foolish for actors or audience to think that the props and costumes of the artificial world are what ultimately matters. It would be even more foolish for us to live unaware of the greater world from which this earthly one derives its meaning. Throughout the Bible the inspired authors use the image of the New Jerusalem, the City of God, to give us insight into that greater world.
In a sense the New Jerusalem lies ahead of us in time. It is the destination of our earthly journey, the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God. As we reflect on the profound question asked by children on any long trip – "Are we there yet?" – it is clear that the answer must be "No." Even a quick glance at the daily news reveals that we are far from experiencing life as it is meant to be. The symphony of God's creation has been disrupted by human pride. We do not yet share fully in the community of shalom where people live as they are meant to, in peace with God and one another. We will experience that in the New Jerusalem, the destination of our journey, but we clearly are not there yet.
As we disciples of Jesus confront this world of violence and of all too frequent disregard for the dignity of the human person, the New Jerusalem is not, however, simply a future goal.
To the degree that we love God and love neighbour, and act with integrity as disciples of Jesus, to that degree the New Jerusalem is already present, as it will be in its fullness at the end of time. Heaven begins on earth, in our daily lives, when we live in generous love, in the image of the Blessed Trinity, in the imitation of Christ.
We are, of course, always free to choose another path, one that does not lead to the heavenly Jerusalem. An early Christian writing, the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, opens with the challenge of that choice: "There are two ways: the way to life, and the way to death, and there is a great difference between them." This is the drama of the moral life for a disciple of Jesus: we are free to disregard the City of God, as if this transient life were everything. We can act not in love but in selfishness, or we can begin heaven on earth.
That is why there are few things more immediately practical than a meditation on our destination, the heavenly Jerusalem, which gives us the reference point which we need if we are to choose rightly, and live in generous love during our brief passage through this world.
II: The Scriptural Vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem
The readings of today's Mass guide us in that meditation, as we seek to find our path on our daily journey to Jerusalem.
First Reading:Isaiah 62: 1-7
Psalm 87
In the first reading and in the psalm we recognize the hope that the people of God experienced in contemplating the glorious future of the earthly Jerusalem.
We draw even greater hope, and attain more profound insight into the human condition, by contemplating the reality foreshadowed in Isaiah: the glorious City of God, which is the real world of divine providence that sets the standard for our human world. The point of contemplating the heavenly Jerusalem is not simply that we might experience delight, but that we be brought to conversion. Our daily lives need to be conformed to the vision of the city of God. That is not easy for any of us. Who we are falls far short of who we are meant to be. We resist the challenge of conversion.
Second Reading: Apocalypse 21: 1-14
In the Apocalypse we find a vision of hope addressed originally to people living, like us, in a world of violence and materialism, often a world of illusion, in which the reality of the divine order of creation does not always shape the human agenda. So that the disciples of Jesus might maintain their integrity as they journey through such an environment, John was inspired to reveal to them the radiant vision of the New Jerusalem. After all, when we know where we are going, we are more likely to get there. We will know how to get there.
There are transient things in this life that we can wrongly make into absolutes – such as wealth, power, health, success, prestige, popularity, and self-indulgence. When we do so, we confuse our priorities, and begin to move down the wrong path. By giving a hint of the glory of our true destination, and of the primary world which is the context for our present life on earth, the Apocalypse reveals the insufficiency of those false standards.
We are called to live as citizens of the New Jerusalem, long before we finally enter the heavenly city.
An example of such a life is that of Michael Power, first bishop of Toronto, buried under the altar of this cathedral, whose earthly journey lasted only 43 years. But he knew where he was going, and he knew how to get there. In 1847, the last year of his life, he selflessly devoted himself to serving the immigrants who had been dumped on the Toronto waterfront, the most vulnerable people in the community. Day after day he heroically ministered to the sick and the dying in Toronto, but always aware of the New Jerusalem that is the destination of both flock and shepherd, and he himself became infected and died. In his saintly death, he finally journeyed home to Jerusalem with his suffering people. He was the first bishop of Toronto, but he saw through and beyond the earthly context in which he operated. He acted as a citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem.
Gospel: John 1:1-14
The prologue of John's Gospel is so fundamental to our Christian life that for years it was read at every Mass. In a few words, John shows us the basic fact of God's loving entry into this broken world: "The Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us, full of grace and truth." Sadly, too often we still do not receive Him. But the Word did become flesh, and dwell among us, to show us how to live, and to give Himself for us through His suffering, death, and resurrection. In the Prologue, as in the opening words of the First Letter of John that formed the text for the song of the Toronto World Youth Day, we experience the freshness of the wonder that overcame the first disciples, as they realized what Jesus did, and who Jesus is. That excitement banishes the routine of a shallow Christian life: we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
If we really have seen that glory, which is reflected in the glory of the City of God that is both our goal and our standard of behaviour, then we must not live as if we had not, as if we were caught in the rut of mediocrity. We are citizens of the New Jerusalem, disciples of the Risen Lord, and we need to act accordingly.
Here are a few ways to do that:
III: Practical Implications: A life guided by a Vision of the Heavenly Jerusalem
IV: We have seen His Glory, and that Vision impels us to Action
Many years ago, in Victorian England, there was a man, Francis Thompson, poor and marginalized, who lived on the streets of the great city, never able to overcome his addiction, a holy man who saw what was not seen by the bustling citizens around him. He saw the divine reality that was masked by the familiar sights of his city – the Thames river, and Charing Cross - and wrote a poem on the Kingdom of God. He wrote:
O world invisible, we view thee, O world intangible, we touch thee, O world unknowable, we know thee, Inapprehensible, we clutch thee!
Does the fish soar to find the ocean, The eagle plunge to find the air – That we ask of the stars in motion
If they have rumour of thee there?
Not where the wheeling systems darken, And our benumbed conceiving soars! – The drift of pinions, would we hearken, Beats at our own clay-shuttered doors.
The angels keep their ancient places; - Turn but a stone, and start a wing! 'Tis ye, 'tis your estranged faces, That miss the many splendoured thing.
But (when so sad thou canst not sadder) Cry; - and upon thy so sore loss Shall shine the traffic of Jacob's ladder Pitched betwixt heaven and Charing Cross.
Yea, in the night, my Soul, my daughter, Cry, - clinging Heaven by the hems; And lo, Christ walking on the water Not of Gennesareth, but Thames!
O world invisible, we view thee, O world intangible, we touch thee, O world unknowable, we know thee, Inapprehensible, we clutch thee!
Does the fish soar to find the ocean, The eagle plunge to find the air – That we ask of the stars in motion
If they have rumour of thee there?
Not where the wheeling systems darken, And our benumbed conceiving soars! – The drift of pinions, would we hearken, Beats at our own clay-shuttered doors.
The angels keep their ancient places; - Turn but a stone, and start a wing! 'Tis ye, 'tis your estranged faces, That miss the many splendoured thing.
But (when so sad thou canst not sadder) Cry; - and upon thy so sore loss Shall shine the traffic of Jacob's ladder Pitched betwixt heaven and Charing Cross.
Yea, in the night, my Soul, my daughter, Cry, - clinging Heaven by the hems; And lo, Christ walking on the water Not of Gennesareth, but Thames!
That is the point. With the clarity of faith we can see the divine reality of the governing context of life on earth: the New Jerusalem, the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God. We can recognize the fact that Jacob's ladder is pitched betwixt heaven and Yonge Street. That realization arising from faith fills us with hope, which gives us the irresistible energy to be effective witnesses on earth to the God who is love.

Inergy Midstream To Acquire The COLT Crude Oil Logistics Hub
Inergy Midstream, L.P. (NYSE:NRGM) ("Inergy Midstream") and the owner of its general partner, Inergy, L.P. (NYSE:NRGY) ("Inergy"), announced today that Inergy Midstream has executed a definitive agreement to purchase Rangeland Energy, LLC ("Rangeland"), the owner and operator of the COLT crude oil rail terminal, storage, and pipeline facilities (the "COLT Hub") for $425 million, subject to certain performance milestones and customary working capital adjustments. As discussed below, Inergy Midstream has entered into an agreement to sell $225 million of common units in a private placement and has obtained committed unsecured debt financing to fund the balance of the acquisition purchase price.
The COLT Hub is strategically located near the town of Epping in Williams County, North Dakota, in the heart of the Bakken and Three Forks shale oil-producing areas. The COLT Hub provides producers, refiners, and marketers with the largest open-access crude oil distribution hub in North Dakota. With 720,000 barrels of crude oil storage and two 8,700-foot rail loops, the COLT Hub can accommodate 120-car unit trains and is capable of moving more than 120,000 barrels per day by rail. COLT's customers can source product via the eight-bay truck unloading rack, the COLT Connecter, a 21-mile, 10-inch bi-directional pipeline that connects the COLT Hub to the Enbridge and Tesoro pipelines at Dry Fork (Beaver Lodge/Ramberg junction), the Banner gathering system, and a planned connection to the Bear Tracker Energy gathering system.
"We are excited to announce the acquisition of a vital midstream asset in one of the most compelling shale basins in North America," said John Sherman, President and CEO of Inergy Midstream. "The COLT Hub diversifies Inergy Midstream's cash flow, expands our geographic footprint, complements our existing operations, and should lead to further expansion opportunities for our investors."
Approximately 90% of the expected revenue at the COLT Hub will be derived from "take or pay" contracts that average 3.9 years in tenor and are with credit-worthy counterparties. These contracts underpin a growing and stable cash flow stream that is expected to be immediately accretive to distributable cash flow per common unit.

Penn State request to toss McQueary lawsuit denied
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge says a whistleblower and defamation lawsuit against Penn State by a former assistant football coach shouldn't be thrown out as the university requested.
Judge Thomas Gavin's decision issued Tuesday gave the school 20 days to respond to the complaint filed in October by Mike McQueary.
McQueary claims statements by then-university president Graham Spanier after criminal charges were filed against two administrators and Jerry Sandusky in 2011 made him look untruthful.
Gavin says the lawsuit makes sufficient claims of "outrageous conduct" on the part of the school to keep the case alive.
Penn State spokesman Dave La Torre is declining comment, and a message seeking comment from McQueary's lawyer Elliot Strokoff wasn't returned.
Spanier currently faces charges of perjury, obstruction and other offenses, allegations he denies.

Historical Transformations in Queer Autobiography
This session will focus on authenticity, 'coming out', and finding a voice as absolutely central to the experience of LGBTQQ students (and their faculty, administrators, and staff). How can we utilize others' autobiographies, and potentially our own, to bring the kind of understanding that instills a sense of empathy in our students? Aiming to include a more salient actualization of justice in teaching through the creation and consumption of autobiographies in the classroom, this workshop directly links to the interdisciplinary frameworks of LGBTQ studies, highlighting the ways our multiple selves are understood or reflected via race/ class/ gender/ sexuality/ nation/ etc. What had been the master narrative of sexualities and gender roles before queer autobiographies, and how has the story changed in the last 60 years? Using film clips, story boarding, and brief examples of personal transformations in literature, we will pay attention to intergenerational dynamics, literary trends, and socio-political movements to foreground the presentation of self that is potentially a liberating vehicle for our students. We will draw on the intersectionality of identity and various theoretical approaches (e.g., postcolonial, queer, feminist, African American, and border and Latino/a studies) to explore how queer notions of self have shifted, and where our students are taking them.

Three blinking lights means the LR can no longer figure out where "home position" is. That usually means it overturns, dumps the litter into the drawer and leaves your cat with an empty LR. The manual says contact LR about it and I hope they'll get back to me sometime soon.
Any clue on how the LR figures out what position the globe is in? There are no sensors on the base so apparently it more or less guesses by the load on the motor which of course changes over time as the globe and motor age..

How To Write A Custom Workflow Activity In Orchard CMS
Today I will show you how the powerful Orchard CMS Workflow module can be extended by a custom activity. In my case I need an activity which creates a new BlogPost for me.
5 must-have addon modules
Here is a list of some useful Orchard CMS modules, not part of the core Orchard CMS installation that I use every day.
Developing with Advanced Sitemap in your Orchard site
Advanced Sitemap is currently the only module to provide extensions points for developers who are doing a lot of custom development on their site. The basic use case of a module like this is very straightforward: take all of the content items and list out all of their urls in some sensible way. But what if you have routes that don't necessarily align with urls set in your content items? Entering custom routes in the admin can suffice if there aren't too many, but if you use a lot of custom routing in your MVC controllers, it would be nice to have these urls reflected accurately in the sitemap.
Messaging Channels Rules And Tokens
In this series we will be implementing a custom module to see what it takes to implement a Templated Messaging System that leverages not only basic Orchard stuff, but also more advanced APIs such as Rules, Tokens, Messaging, Channels, Site settings and Content Type/Part settings.
This module will enable our users to do the following:
- Create and manage Messaging Templates (which will typically be used for email messages) using parser engine specific syntax (which will be Razor by default);
- Setup Rules that sends a templated message when one or more events occur;
- Use Tokens in the Subject field as well in a field that is part of the SendTemplatedMessage action;
- Configure which parser engine to use by default using site scope settings and content type scope settings.
At the end of this tutorial we will not only have a useful module, we will have learned how we can wire things together with the Rules and Tokens modules and have a better understanding of how they work and can be leveraged in other modules.
In this first part, we will start simple by creating the module and implementing a basic Template Management System. We will:
- Define a MessageTemplatePart that stores information about a template, such as the template text itself;
- Define an EmailTemplate content type that uses the MessageTemplatePart;
- Implement an IMessageTemplateService that helps with quering templates.
- Learn how to implement import/export for custom parts that reference other content items using the ImportContentContext.GetItemFromSession method.
Developer Cheat Sheet Updated
Sébastien's very handy cheat sheet for orchard module and theme developers and designers has been updated. It's an invaluable resource for all of us.
Writing An Unthemed View While Still Using Shapes And Helpers
This quick tip will show how you can write a custom view for a custom controller action in Orchard that does not use the current theme, but that still retains the ability to use shapes, as well as zones, Script and Style helpers.
Reporting Live From Orchard Harvest - Part III
Module development how-to, localization and QnA
Creating Orchard Themes And Modules In WebMatrix 2
Microsoft recently released WebMatrix 2 RC which has numerous new features including code completion / intellisense. As an Orchard CMS Developer, I am excited about intellisense in WebMatrix to help with creating Orchard Themes and Modules. Although the release candidate does offer some code completion to make it easier to develop custom Orchard Themes and Modules in WebMatrix, the development experience is rather spotty at the moment.
Download Modules And Themes Via WebMatrix 2 NuGet Gallery
Microsoft had several important announcements this past week. The main announcements was the new and improved Windows Azure and its support for Web Sites. As an FYI, I created a quick tutorial on Installing Orchard CMS as an Azure Web Site. Another announcement was the release of WebMatrix 2 RC, which includes a lot of neat features including node.js support; HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, C#, and jQuery Code Completion; iPhone and Windows Phone Emulators, etc. I'll talk about those WebMatrix 2 features another time. Right now I wanted to mention the ability to download and install Orchard Modules and Themes via the WebMatrix 2 NuGet Gallery support!
Writing An Orchard Webshop Module From Scratch - Part 7
Rendering the ShoppingCart and ShoppingCartWidget.
In this part, we will:
- Create a display for the shoppingcart
- Enable our users to update the quantity and remove items from the shopping cart
- Create a widget that will be visible on every page and shows a link to the shopping cart page, as well as the total number of items in the shopping cart
- Show how to include resources with our module using the IResourceManifestProvider;
- Apply the MVVM pattern using KnockoutJS and jQuery on the client side to enable our users to update the quantities of the shoppingcart items, as well as update the shoppingcart "widget" in realtime

Academic background
Lucy completed her undergraduate degree in Horticulture at the University of Western Australia and it was during her 4th year project in 2003 that she developed an interest in seed ecology and mine rehabilitation. After graduating with first class honours, Lucy worked as a research assistant with the Seed Science team in the Science Directorate at BGPA for 12 months then commenced her PhD project with the Restoration Ecology and Seed Biology groups. The project combined her fascination with Australian seed germination and dormancy with her interest in applied research and desire to produce practical findings for improving restoration techniques. After completing her PhD in 2008, she continued her research into seed germination and dormancy for mine restoration through projects with Telfer Gold Mine and Rio Tinto Iron Ore in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Currently, Lucy is undertaking research with Dr Luis Merino Martin on restoration of a Threatened Ecological Community. This project, based at an iron-ore mine at Koolanooka Hills in the mid-west, combines Lucy's expertise in seed ecology with Luis' interest in ecohydrology.
Lucy is passionate about improving restoration through efficient seed use, including optimising seed quality and storage, and understanding germination cues and dormancy mechanisms. Lucy is also interested in arid-zone ecology, seed ecology and seedling recruitment, seed persistence in restoration, and smoke-stimulated germination. Current areas of research include the interaction between loss of physiological dormancy and karrikinolide (an active component of smoke); identifying soil properties and seed germination traits that influence seedling emergence in reconstructed soils; and seed ecology of riparian trees.

Preventing Infections
Following your transplant, you will be at risk for infections. Although it may be burdensome, it is important to follow your transplant center's instructions on how to avoid infection. Until your immune system recovers, your body will not have allAcute lymphoblastic leukemia. the tools it needs to fight infection on its own, and some infections do not respond well to medication.
The first two to four weeks post-transplant are critical, but protecting against infection is an ongoing concern up to a year after your transplant, longer if you develop graftHealthy blood forming stem cells used to replace a patient's diseased blood forming stem cells-versus-host disease.
We suggest you view our webcast on infections post-transplant for a discussion of infectious complications that can occur.
Patients who undergo a splenectomy (the removal of the spleenA lymphoid organ in the abdominal cavity that is an important center for immune system activities.) or have chronicPersisting for a long time. GVHDGraft-versus-Host-Disease. A disease caused when the donor's stem cells (the graft) attack the normal tissue of the transplant patient. Also called GVHD. are typically given antibiotics and sometimes antiviral medications to help prevent infection. Some patients are given antibiotics to take home so that they can take them at the first sign of fever.
Your medical team will give you guidelines to help you prevent infections until your immune system recovers. The most important of these is frequent handwashing with antibacterial soap and water, or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, especially in these circumstances:
- before eating or preparing food
- after changing diapers (if you are permitted to do so)
- after touching plants or dirt (if you are permitted to do so)
- after urinating or defecating
- after touching animals
- after touching bodily fluids or items that might have come in contact with bodily fluids such as clothing, bedding or toilets
- after going outdoors or to a public place
- after removing gloves
- after collecting or depositing garbage (if you are permitted to do so)
- before and after touching catheters and wounds
During the first six months after transplant, and longer for patients on immunosuppressive drugs, many transplant centers recommend that these additional precautions be observed:
- Avoid crowds or people who have infections
- Avoid people who have recently been vaccinated with chicken pox or polio
- Avoid changing a baby's diapers
- Avoid gardening
- Avoid walking, wading, swimming or playing in ponds or lakes
- Avoid construction sites and remodeling projects while you are at risk for infections
- Treat well water before drinking
If You Have Pets
- Avoid adopting ill or juvenile pets (juvenile pets are more likely to scratch than mature pets)
- Avoid contact with an animal that is ill and get it medical attention
- Avoid reptiles such as lizards, snakes, turtles and iguanas and items they touch
- Avoid chicks and ducklings
- Avoid exotic pets such as monkeys or chinchillas
- Feed pets only high quality commercial food or thoroughly cooked human food
- Avoid contact with animal feces; do not clean litter boxes or cages or dispose of animal waste
- Do not touch bird droppings. Use disposable gloves and a mask if you must be near bird droppings.
- Avoid cleaning fish tanks
- Do not place cat litter boxes in areas of the house where food is prepared or eaten
- Keep cats indoors and do not adopt stray cats
- Cover backyard sandboxes to prevent cats from using it as a litter box.
At the first sign of any fever or infection, immediately call your doctor. Infections are easier to treat it detected early. Even infections that you would brush off or simply deal with yourself prior to your transplant can pose a serious threat to transplant patients.
Re-vaccination after transplant
After a stem cell transplant, antibodies provided by vaccines you previously received may decline. Unless you are re-vaccinated, you will be at risk for developing a preventable disease. Your transplant center will provide you with its recommended re-vaccination schedule.
The Centers for Disease Control re-vaccination guidelines suggest that patients be re-vaccinated for diphtheria, tetanus, pneumococcus, hemophilus, influenza type B, measles, mumps, rubella and polio at several points after transplant. You can download guidelines published for transplant survivors by the Center for International Blood & Marrow Transplant Research that include a suggested re-vaccination schedue. Contact BMT InfoNet for a print copy of the guidelines.

the love parade
Following a Deadly Stampede, Germany's the Love Parade Is Done for Good
The Love Parade — a semiannual German electronic-music festival that began in 1989 — was the site of a stampede that left nineteen people dead and 340 injured this weekend, and has now been canceled. Says organizer Rainer Schaller: "The Love Parade was always a peaceful and joyous party that will now forever be overshadowed. Out of respect for the victims, families and friends, we will discontinue the event. The Love Parade is no more." Set up to house 300,000 people at a former freight rail station Duisberg, the Love Parade instead drew an estimated 1.4 million. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has called for an official investigation. [NYDN]

One such example is the Scolopendra gigantea, a venomous, red-maroon centipede with forty-six yellow-tinted legs. These centipedes are the largest in the world, and they are more commonly known as Amazonian giant centipedes due to their massive size. Adults commonly reach lengths of over thirty-five centimeters-- the length of a man's forearm. Not only are these creatures very swift runners, but they are also highly adept climbers, a skill which allows them to scale walls to enjoy some surprisingly ambitious prey.
But the natural hunter's most impressive skill is that which is demonstrated inside the caves of the Amazon jungle. In an environment completely devoid of light, the centipede scurries across the damp floor, stepping over writhing mounds of beetles to scale the wall and clamber across the ceiling into a position near the center. The giant centipede then grips the stone with it rear legs, allowing its forward segments to dangle into the cave below. Its front section sways as its legs wriggle through the air in search of the intended target: a passing bat.
These impressive arthropods are not only found in the Amazon jungle, but they also thrive on the islands of Trinidad and Jamaica. They are becoming a favorite among exotic pet owners worldwide, but extreme care must be taken while handling them due to the fact that the slightest trace of the venom can cause a reaction on the skin. Fortunately, the poison from the Scolopendra gigantea is insufficient to kill a healthy human adult. The alarmingly massive centipede can, however, cause symptoms such as local sharp pain, swelling, chills, fever, weakness, and uncontrollable running-away-and-screaming.

Why It's Absolutely Essential to Pick the Right Options Trading Strategy
Let's start with what their secret is not. Contrary to popular belief, successful option traders do not build their careers on being right all the time. In fact, the issue of being right is kind of secondary to a seasoned trader. Smart traders know that of the thousands of trades they'll have in their careers, they'll have plenty of winners and plenty of losers. So they position their trades accordingly.
Successful traders are great option strategists. They structure trades right from the get-go to optimize the delicate balance of chance of success vs. payout structure. They take into account all the pricing influences that can affect their trade--namely: direction, time and volatility. They protect themselves by using limited risk; and they squeeze the most out of their winners.
Each different trading opportunity is unique and may require a unique and specific way to trade it. For example, lately the market has been highly volatile and implied volatility has reflected that in most option classes. Much of the time, I've been using debit spreads (and credit spreads too) on my directional trades in which I expect limited moves instead of outright call or put purchases. Why? Hedging. Debit spreads hedge off total capital at risk by making the overall cost lower. Further, they hedge off implied volatility risk by having one long-vega option and one short-vega option.
For example, imagine a trader is looking for a continued rally in Amazon.com (AMZN) up to the $230-a-share area by October expiration from its recent price of $226.78. At first glance, one might consider simply buying, say, the October 225 calls for $11.10. The challenge here is that if the trader holds the trade until October expiration and AMZN actually gets right up to $230, the trade ends up a loser! The breakeven is $236.10 on the trade ($225 stock price plus $11.10 premium).

V-Bass System
Imagine a bass guitar processing system which can accurately model the world's most popular basses- everything from classic electrics to upright acoustic bass, fretless bass and more-and combine them with the sounds of the world's greatest bass amplifiers and polyphonic effects. That's the power of the Roland V-Bass, a floor-based processor which pairs breakthrough COSM Bass technology and a new GK-3B or compatible Divided Pickup for Bass, taking bass guitar into bold new sonic dimensions.
* This user-installable pickup is required for access to COSM Bass technology and polyphonic effects.
Building upon the knowledge and experience gained from V-Guitar technology, Roland developed all-new COSM Bass technology to power the new V-Bass. COSM Bass technology can process a standard bass guitar with a GK-3B or compatible Divided Pickup to sound like a variety of other basses-including acoustic upright bass, fretless bass, a variety of classic electric basses, synth bass and more-and you can even design custom basses by combining different body types and pickup configurations. Of special note is the polyphonic pitch shifting, which can re-pitch individual strings for instant alternate tunings and wild sound effects.
As a recording and performance tool, the V-Bass stands alone. Thanks to COSM Bass Amp Modeling, the V-Bass can precisely model the sound of classic and modern bass amps, from "Concert" and "Session" models to "T.E.", "Bass 360" and others. Dial in the tone of these models like the originals, then pair them with a variety of modeled speaker cabinets. The effects section features wah, modeled overdrive/distortion, compressors, extensive EQ, delay, chorus, reverb and more.
The V-Bass was designed by bassists, for bassists. So it features things like an XLR output for connection to PA or studio console, a 4-, 5- or 6-string Select function for accurate detection of string spacing, and a direct 1/4" input for access to the COSM Bass Amp Modeling and effects sections using a standard bass guitar output.
* 0 dBu = 0.775 Vrms.
* AF Method (Adaptive Focus method) This is a proprietary method from Roland that vastly improves the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of the A/D and D/A converters.

The UMass football team added some power to its 2013 recruiting class this past weekend.
The Minutemen received verbal commitments from Steven Casali, a grinding running back from New York, and Sha-ki Holines, a linebacker from Springfield Commerce.
Casali announced the commitment on Twitter:
Committed to #UMASS where I'll be playing at Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots!! #pumped #sohappy!!!!
— Steven Casali (@SteveCasali5) June 24, 2012
We have been high on Casali from the start. The 6'2, 220-pound linebacker/running back has a bruising, downhill running style that could be utilized on either side of the ball or special teams. The kid looked like a man among boys last season, and I have little doubt that he will be ready for FBS ball when his time comes.
Casali will appeal to UMass fans who have gotten used to the likes of Steve Baylark and Jonathan Hernandez. He is a powerful kid and will fit somewhere within Molnar's system.
Brendan Hall from ESPN Boston was the first to report on Holines' verbal commitment. Hall told me that Holines is an underrated athlete and a good get for the Minutemen.
According to Rivals, Holines is a three-star athlete and held a scholarship offer from UConn. Hall wrote that Maine also extended a verbal offer. The Minutemen offered earlier this month.
The Minutemen now have three commitments for the 2013 season:
- Steven Casali RB/LB
- Sha-ki Holines LB/DE
- Todd Stafford QB
UMass also held a football camp at Gillette Stadium on Saturday, and more than 200 athletes showed up. We know that Casali was one of the recruits at camp.
Pat McCann, an assistant coach for Stonehill College, was at the camp and snapped this photo:
A few recruits were tweeting about the event, and it generally sounds like the camp was well organized and had good competition. A few of the high-level recruits were at Boston College's camp this weekend as well and spend one day at B.C. and the other at Gillette.

Map developed by Patient Privacy Rights and Harvard researchers
WASHINGTON, D.C. Health information technology is being rapidly adopted and the number of patients whose information is being digitized and exchanged over computer networks is likewise growing in leaps and bounds.
But some of the basic rules have yet to be written that will regulate users of health information technology (HIT) and protect the security and privacy of patient information.
Today, the top federal HIT regulatory body held a five-hour hearing as the first step toward crafting one small, but critical policy. Namely: What information should patients routinely be given regarding who has accessed their data?
A so-called "Accounting for Disclosures" policy must be crafted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as mandated by the HITECH Act, the same 2009 law that authorized more than $25 billion in incentive payments for doctors, hospitals and states to adopt HIT systems to take the place of paper records.
Representatives of patients, doctors, insurance companies, and technology companies that make the HIT systems, testified today via an online meeting of the agency's HIT Policy, Privacy and Security Tiger Team.
"We believe it's the patient's right to have digital access that is real-time and online for accounting of disclosures," said Dr. Deborah Peel, the head of Patient Privacy Rights, a group she founded in 2004. Patients "need and want the data for our own health. We need to have independent agents as advisors, independent decision-making tools, we need independence from the institutions and data holders that currently control our information. We need to have agents that represent us, not the interests of corporations," she said.
"I think the day will come when people will understand that their health information is the most valuable personal information about them in the digital world and that it's an asset that should be protected in the same way that they protect and control their financial information online," Peel said.
She recommended regulators require that makers of health information technology provide open access to logs that record every time a patient's digital health information is accessed or shared over a network.
But most of those who spoke on behalf of doctors, insurance companies, and software markers said that was not feasible.
Requiring comprehensive reporting that is readily accessible by patients would be an administrative burden and come at the expense of core services, they said. Some said the best route for investigating potential improper disclosures is through individual investigations sparked by complaints.
Individual investigations, they said, would be preferable to automated, routine access — in part — because patients don't seem much interested in the so-called "patient portals" that some insurance companies already provide for viewing basic health record information.
For example, patients rarely demand an accounting of the paper records or complain about privacy violations, according to a representative of Kaiser Permanente who testified that — so far in 2013 — only 63 privacy complaints have been received by the company, which covers 66 million people.
Mark Richert, a patient representative and public policy director for the American Federation for the Blind, found fault with that line of reasoning.
"I think we're drifting into 'fires are unlikely to happen so let's not invest in fire departments.'"
Eric Cooper of EPIC, one of the largest makers of electronic health record software, said that requiring comprehensive patient access could have unintended consequences.
"It is extremely important to understand the volume of information that would be included," he said. "The volume is staggering. A typical patient visit will produce between 500 and 1,000 auditable events in the provider's clinical system — physician views, modifications, transactions with the outside world, views related to clinical or administrative work," Cooper said, noting such events could be triggered by human and automated computer queries alike.
"The magnitude and granularity of this information would overwhelm most patients, obscuring instead of revealing any instance of improper access," he said.
Peel, the patient representative, said that was a potential problem best dealt with later, but not now by regulators crafting policy in the public's interest.
"That might be true that it's difficult. But I can promise you that if we get the data — even if it's not humanly readable — an industry will develop to translate that data into meaningful ways we can understand, and use it for ourselves...There are plenty of smart people who can figure out how to make sense of that data for the rest of us," Peel said.
"Patients can't get electronic copies of their health information, but a broad array of hidden users can," she said citing an interactive data map developed by her organization working with Harvard researchers.
"Health data is controlled by data holders that don't want to be transparent or accountable," Peel said.
The panel is scheduled to meet again Oct. 9. But since the meeting would be considered a "non-essential" government function, it could be postponed in the event Congress fails to pass a resolution funding routine government activities.

flOw releasing on PlayStation 4 next week
by Conrad Zimmerman
flOw, the first PS3 game released by thatgamecompany, will soon be making its appearance on PlayStation 4. In a post to the PlayStation Blog, Sony Santa Monica producer Eric Fong announced that the title will be available on Tuesday, December 17. Through Cross-Buy, players who have already purchased fl0w on PS3 or PS Vita will be able to download the PS4 version free of charge, while newcomers will be asked to cough up $5.99 for the game.
Oddly, I don't think I actually got around to playing fl0w. I loved Flower (thatgamecompany's second release, which launched with the PS4 console) and I recall that giving me the thought that I should play fl0w, but I was likely then distracted by some other shiny object because I have no recollection of experiencing the game. Is it too late for me?

What debt repayment method do you follow?
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-14-2014 - 1:49pm
I have recently been pretty active on a Facebook group for people who follow the Dave Ramsey method of getting out of debt. It has started to bother me, however, that they seem to be quite militant on the methodology and don't like to discuss adaptations for different situations. I personally like to use a little bit from here and a little bit from there. Predominately, I would say that I am most closely following Mary Hunt's no nonsense, practical method which also has a biblical standpoint.
So what is your preferred method of debt repayment? Do you follow a certain financial expert, if so, whom? Do you have any tricks to help you get through certain debts (e.g. breaking them up into smaller goals or by loan type)?
|Mon, 04-14-2014 - 6:20pm
So good to see a refreshing post!
Yea, I just read Total Money Makeover, but I also like to watch Suze Orman and Gale Vaz-Oxlade. I think as long as you have a plan, are living within your means, and can sleep well at night, you are doing okay.
|Tue, 04-15-2014 - 8:53am
Hi Jen! Great to hear from you.
The problem with paying down debt one way is that everyone is at such different stages in their lives. Some people have children and some do not, plus some people want to pay for their education and some do not, or it isn't a priority. Not to open a can of worms....but Dave Ramsey's plan has pay for your children's education only after your retirement needs are taken care of. That just doesn't work for everyone. I got out of debt, saved some for my kids for education(teenagers) and am now doing a new house and buckeling down on retirement. Are we behind on retirement...yes, but we would be even if I didn't save some for my boys, we are working on it. I really like Gail Vaz Oxilade. She has a no nonsense approach and gives people hope for the future. Also Dave's plan has give away wealth as one of the last steps. I don't know if I ever get there, but if I do, it will be to my kids, probably not a charity so they can have a better life. I dont' think there is anything wrong with Dave's plan, it just isn't all for me. However, I loved the $1000 emergency fund. I have added to this amount and find it is just a wonderful idea.
I will say the only debt repayment I am tackling right now is putting 20 extra on a mortage while saving for retirement and my little girl's education. When the house things settle down. We will reevaluate. That is what works for us at this stage.Would it be nice to have the mortgage paid off? Of course. But we will be more worried about making ends meet with all that is going on and that is more important. We will do what we can. And we have never really gone on a vacation. We have been together for 7 years on this journey. That is also one of our dreams to go to Ireland and it will stay a dream unless we start putting money away for it. So that is a goal for next year too. But, again, we will see how our budget is. I guess that is my debt repayment plan!
Thanks for posting.

I also read the TMM book by Dave Ramsey, and while I also saved the $1000 emergency fund, after that is where I went a little off his path. I listen to Suze Orman and Gail Vaz Oxlade also, and let all their knowledge seep in so I can get some real understanding of how this whole thing works so I can make the best decision for me.
I think like with most things in life, it's just a personal decision. Sleeping at night because you feel confident in yourself and know you are doing the right thing for you is down right priceless.
I started with the $1000 emergency fund. After that I had over $50K in debt to tackle. I had no house, no retirement and no kids. I sold everything I could and used every extra dollar with the snowball method to tackle the $50K debt. That took almost 3 years, THEN I began saving for a downpayment on a house, I saved up a 20% downpaymwnt and also a small savings account to have as a back up plan after homeownership began. I also bought a car. While I had the car loan, I worked on a 6 month emergency fund. I felt that even though the car was debt, if I were to lose my job, what good would a paid off car do me? I would sleep better at night knowing I had a healthy emergency fund.
Once the 6 month emergnecy fund was in place, I paid off my car loan. I then began saving for retirement as well as accelerating my mortgage payments. Each year, I also save certain amounts for Christmas, vacations, home improvements (fun stuff), home repairs (not fun stuff, like a roof, furnace, etc), ROTH IRA. It has taken me years and years to get to this point, but I have learned so so much along the way.
I agree that if you are working on this on any level it is great. determining what will work long term for you & your family is the plan you should follow.

User friendly, ultra accurate, no-fuss—simply our best professional tire gauge!
You can program it to show the recommended front and rear tire pressures. A quick press on the tire stem displays the pressure on a bright blue background.
The 90 degree tip is rotatable allowing for right or left handed operation and will fit in the tightest spots—easily clearing large disc brake rotors. Even a handy light is built-in for nighttime valve stem illumination.
This gauge is optimized for motorcycles—yet it works great on auto, truck and bicycle tires, too!
Perhaps the most important safety tool you can have in your garage or on the road. A good tire gauge can mean the difference between a properly handling motorcycle and a serious safety hazard.
Studies indicate that properly inflated tires promote optimal braking, steering and traction—as well as extended tire life. A 30% reduction in pressure reduces tire life a whopping 48%!
Its hi-grip rubberized non-slip surface provides a great tactile feel. Its ergonomic design is comfortable to hold and allows one-handed operation. In fact, it's so easy to use and feels so good in your hand that you may find yourself checking your tire pressure just for fun.
This gauge functions through a 'double-bridge' smart-chip microprocessor that controls accuracy—compensating for ambient temperatures, humidity and altitude variations.
Auto on/off and an easy-to-read, large digital display makes this gauge the ultimate no-fuss tool. It's accurate to within ± 1% and measures 5.0-99.5 psi in half-pound increments. The gauge has an easily replaceable lithium battery.
The ROADGEAR® Programmable Digital Tire Gauge is 'the choice' for anyone who is serious about proper maintenance—performance, safety and tire longevity.
Five-Year Warranty

Bearcats drop conference opener in low scoring affair
1/4/2014 (Updated 10:52:47 PM)BALTIMORE, MD. Sara Tarbert scored a game-high 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds, leading UMBC (2-11, 1-0 AE) to a 47-32 win over Binghamton (3-11, 0-1 AE) in an America East Conference womens basketball game on Saturday afternoon at the Retriever Athletic Center. The loss snaps the Bearcats two-game winning streak.
Tarbert scored nine of her points in the first half as the Retrievers took a 30-18 lead at the break. UMBC went 4-of-8 from three-point range, with Janelle Saling hitting a pair of those shots.
The Bearcats, by contrast, shot only 24 percent during the opening 20 minutes (7-of-29).
It was a tough day for us, particularly in the first half, head coach Nicole Scholl said. Give UMBC credit. They were able to get a lot of layups and hit some big three pointers in the first half.
UMBC opened the second half with a 9-3 run in a span of 5:26 to take a 39-21 lead. The Retrievers led by as much as 45-25 with 8:01 left to go.
In the final eight minutes, however, the two squads combined for only 19 points.
Liz McNaughton added 10 points for the Retrievers.
Sophomore forward Morgan Murphy paced the Bearcats with seven points and five rebounds.
The Retrievers scored 30 of their points in the paint and netted 12 of their points off Bearcat turnovers.
Binghamton heads to UMass Lowell on Tuesday for a 7 p.m. game.
NOTE: Tarbert and Murphy were the America East Players of the Game.

Enlightenment Card
Visa is now offering credit cards with images of the Buddha, people meditating, and other "enlightenment"-inspired images. Touting the "socially conscious credit card," Visa says: "As a member of the Enlightenment Reward Card program, your purchasing power goes to support the things that matter most to you." For example, 200,000 Rewards points earns you a yoga retreat in Spain. As a press release this summer stated: "The Enlightenment Card allows socially and spiritually conscious businesses and organizations to support each other and offer their services and products as part of the rewards program."
With eight designs to choose from, you can pick the card that best "reflects your lifestyle." Recent Visa advertising has featured Ebenezer Scrooge. Will the Buddha be in next year's ads? Would a Jesus card provoke an indignant outcry?

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
