AMES, Iowa - Iowa State used a blistering shooting night, hitting 19 of its final 28 shots, to pull away from the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team in an 80-50 win Tuesday at Hilton Coliseum. Jeff Beverly had a career-high 14 points and eight rebounds in the loss for the Islanders.
The Cyclones shot 65.4 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc in the second half, as they turned a seven-point advantage late in the first half into a 27-point lead with a 26-6 run around halftime. ISU went 11-for-13 from the field in that stretch, while the Islanders were just 3-for-16 in that same timeframe.
Iowa State placed five players in double figures, led by 15 from DeAndre Kane. John Jordan posted 11 points, six rebounds and four assists in a losing effort for the Islanders.
Early on, the two teams traded blows, with ISU holding an early 8-5 lead. But two free throws and then a three-ball by Matt Thomas pushed the home squad's advantage to eight at 13-5. Another Thomas three made it a nine-point advantage after a pair of Zane Knowles free throws, and the Cyclones held a 16-7 edge.
But four straight points in transition for A&M-Corpus Christi - two by Jake Kocher and two by Jordan - got it back to a five-point game, and the Islanders were able to get it back to four at 20-16 following a three by Brandon Pye.
But the Islanders went cold after that, and the Cyclones were able to put together a 6-0 run to push the lead to 10. The two teams went basket-for-basket over the next several minutes, with a Cole Martinez three cutting it to 31-24 at the 2:43 mark. ISU finished the half on a 6-0 run, however, with a three from Thomas with less than 10 seconds left giving the Cyclones a 13-point lead at the break.
Out of halftime, the Islanders were able to cut it to 11 on a Hameed Ali jumper to make it 39-28 at the 16:47 mark, but Kane followed with a three at the other end to springboard the Cyclones on an 11-0 run for a game-high 22-point lead at the 14:37 mark.
A&M-Corpus Christi got a basket inside from Knowles to put it back to 20, but the team's shooting woes continued on the other side. ISU, meanwhile, remained red hot, and pushed the lead to as much as 31. At one point, the Cyclones were 11-for-15 from the floor and 5-for-8 from beyond the arc in the second half. From there, the Cyclones were able to close out the game.
The Islanders now return to the Coastal Bend for the round-robin portion of the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Islanders Basketball Tournament. A&M-Corpus Christi will face IPFW on Friday at 7:30 p.m., Tennessee Tech on Saturday at 5:30 and Texas-Pan American on Sunday at 3:30.
Tickets for the tournament start at $20 for the three-day event. Call 825-BALL (2255) or visit GoIslanders.com to purchase your tickets today.

"Bought these for the hotel wedding gift bags for my daughter's wedding. True to color, very nice quality. Made for a nice " thank you" to hang outside of the bag. Very quick delivery!"
"These stickers are very cute and very well done. The customer sales rep was very cooperative in helping me customize the writing and make it more legible. They also came in extremely quickly! We received the order within days of placing it!"
"These gift tags were wonderful. I was worried they wouldn't stick well on mason jars, but they worked out great. The glue is strong enough that they didn't peel off on their own. The text above the names is a bit small but you could still read it up close. Overall, these are great and the price is fantastic. They looked beautiful on the mason jars (I had homemade jam wedding favours)."
"They were the perfect fit for I needed! I put the stickers on the front of small favor boxes for a bridal shower I put together and tied a piece of Raffia around and it was so adorable. I'm so excited that I'm putting in another order right now for the bachelorette favors!"
"These tags will look great on my favors and on the bags that I give away for the people that book rooms at the hotel. They are stickers and match the entire collection that I purchased for my wedding invitation. The designers were able to set it that both initials fit and the date. It came out perfect!"

Quakers lose home opener to Wittenberg
Heidelberg up next for WC
March 28, 2012
Cameron Schwalbach sends a pitch plateward during Wilmington's loss to Wittenberg.
Wilmington College's home opener did not go according to script as Wittenberg blasted the Quakers, 28-5, at Tewksbury-Delaney Field Wednesday afternoon.
The Quakers are now 3-10 on the season while the Tigers improve to 14-7.
For a second straight night, errors played a big role in a Wilmington loss. The Quakers committed five errors that led to 16 unearned runs — a recipe for disaster that started with seven unearned runs in a 9-run Wittenberg second inning.
The Quakers got a run in the third inning on back-to-back doubles from Jake Vinkovich (Circleville) and Xavier Jordan (Springfield/Shawnee).
Wilmington scored twice in the seventh and two more in the ninth, one of which was delivered by a Dan Conroy (Columbus/Centennial) two-base hit.
The Quakers hit the ball well at times and hit into trouble at other times — as evidenced by the season-high five double plays Wilmington hit into.
Brandon Arehart (Wilmington) and Jordan had two hits apiece.
Wilmington will open Ohio Athletic Conference play with a doubleheader at Heidelberg Saturday. First pitch is slated for 1 p.m.

Uproar Over Bloated Sandy Aid Package
Leaders from New Jersey and New York blew up yesterday after House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) postponed a vote on an aid package related to Hurricane Sandy. But the bill is so loaded with pork projects that these officials should consider directing their anger at the Obama Administration, which is hijacking the aid meant for their constituents.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie "in an angry news conference decried the 'selfishness and duplicity,' the 'palace intrigue,' 'the callous indifference to the people of our state,'" ABC News reported.
Representative Peter King (R-NY) accused Boehner of "plunging 'a cruel knife in the back' of storm-ravaged residents 'who don't have shelter, don't have food.'"
The Heritage Foundation is the nation's most broadly supported public policy research institute, with more than 453,000 individual, foundation and corporate donors. Heritage, founded in February 1973, has a staff of 244 and an expense budget of $61 million.

Truly there is nothing new under the sun.

World: America's Empire of Bases
by Chalmers Johnson
Tom Paine
January 15th, 2004
Due to government secrecy, our citizens are often ignorant of the fact that our garrisons encircle the planet. This vast network of American bases on every continent except Antarctica actually constitutes a new form of empire an empire of bases with its own geography not likely to be taught in any high school geography class. Without grasping the dimensions of this globe-girdling Baseworld, one can't begin to understand the size and nature of our imperial aspirations or the degree to which a new kind of militarism is undermining our constitutional order.

Iraq: The Pentagon's Private Corps
by Julian Brookes
October 22nd, 2003
Washington has long outsourced work to private firms. What's new is the size and variety of contracts being doled out, particularly by the Pentagon. Private military companies now do more than simply build airplanes -- they maintain those planes on the battlefield and even fly them; construct detention camps in Guantanamo Bay, pilot armed reconnaissance planes and helicopter gunships to eradicate coca crops in Colombia; and operate the intelligence and communications systems at the U.S. Northern Command in Colorado -- work that brings the various companies an estimated $100 billion a year.

Iraq: Nation Builders for Hire
by Dan Baum
New York Times magazine
June 22nd, 2003
When Dwight Eisenhower warned in 1961 of the ''military-industrial complex,'' he never imagined the regimental descendants of Monty's boys at El Alamein tenting in the desert to baby-sit corporadoes earning $10,000 tax-free a month. This, however, is modern might. The military has become the industrial, and vice versa.
Iraq: Oil Companies Aid Military Planners, Industry Avoids Publicity About Its Role in Teaching Troops to Operate Iraq Wells
by Chip Cummins
Wall Street Journal
March 27th, 2003
The oil industry has gone to great lengths to distance itself from any planning related to the potential post-war opening of Iraq's massive fields, now partly in U.S. and British hands. But it is becoming clear that a number of companies played significant advisory roles in military operations taking place on those fields, underscoring an unusual partnership between the military and private companies in the Iraq campaign.

World Bank chief James Wolfensohn said Wednesday he had held talks about financing a fuel pipeline to channel massive gas reserves from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to India or Pakistan.

Washington Post
March 22nd, 1987

Impact Your World
Finding the importance of volunteer
When I was a freshman, my friend invited the briefing session of DAWN KUIS. DAWN KUIS is a volunteer club in the university. DAWN KUIS stands for Development Action for Women Network. Before that inviting. I was not interested in volunteer entirely. However I began to get interested in the activity of DAWN KUIS because I could know about the problem between Philippine and Japan. So I decided to be a DAWN KUIS member.
DAWN KUIS supports Filipino women who had Japanese husbands and their children (Japanese Filipino Children). Almost of all their Japanese husbands or fathers left from them. So the money they use for live is few. In Philippin, the women produces filipino traditional products, for example, cloths, bracelets, scarves, bags and so on. They work to get their cost of living and members in DAWN KUIS sell them in Japan to support them. So all money DAWN KUIS members could get in the selling is sent to the mothers and children in Philippin.
In the first year, I sometimes took part in DAWN KUIS activity, for example selling products in school festival, participating in meetings.
I often thought that a volunteer is important but I'm just selling products and taking part in meeting. Can I really support someone?
On May 2013, Makuhari in Chiba charity event held in Kanda Gaigo University. This event has a lot of special events, for instance, free market, auction and shops. These events connect charity. So DAWN KUIS participated in that event to sell products. But this event was different from usual activities like a selling or meeting because Japanese filipino children who are supported by DAWN KUIS would come the event and hold a drama. This drama was so special for the children because the drama shows children's minds. We can feel their sad and hopeful emotions in the drama. The emotions come from sadness of ordeal because of not having father or poor lives.
In the event, I and other DAWN KUIS members worked as backstage personnel. Then they could see the children for the first time. And I realized the activities in DAWN KUIS was really valuable when I watched the drama. I decided to support them because I wanted them to smile and spend their lives comfortably.
Japanese, particularly the younger can support someone because we have enough power and passion. So we should focus on world wide problems and other people to cooperate.
Recently, I works as a DAWN KUIS member hard to support the children and their mothers.

Engineering and social justice in the university and beyond
Featured Queue:
Publication Type:Book
Source:Purdue University Press, West Lafayette, Ind., p.209 (2012)
Call Number:Cubb TA157 .E546 2012
Keywords:Engineering ethics, Engineering--Social aspects, Engineering--Study and teaching
Summary: "An increasing number of researchers and educators in the field of engineering wish to integrate considerations of social justice into their work and practice. In this volume, an international team of authors, from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, invite scholars to think and teach in new ways that acknowledge the social, as well as technical, impact engineering can have on our world and that open possibilities for social justice movements to help shape engineering/technology. The book examines three areas of an engineering academic's professional role: teaching, research, and community engagement. Some of the authors have created classes to help students think through their roles as engineering practitioners in a changing society, and present case studies here. They also explore questions of access to engineering education. Other contributors are focusing their research on improving the lives of the marginalized and powerless. Yet others are engaging local groups and exploring ways in which universities might serve their communities and in which academic institutions can themselves be more socially just. The contributors take a broad social and ecological justice perspective to critique existing practices and explore alternatives. The result is a handbook for all scholars of engineering who think beyond the technical elements of their field, and an essential reader for anyone who believes in the transformative power of the discipline"--Provided by publisher.

I have a bad experience with XM. I opened a demo account and was using it to learn and understand forex trading and received an email from XM offering a $30 no deposit bonus. I opened the real account as the offer was tempting for me. I checked the email and there was no hidden condition on the same. After opening the account I didn't get the bonus hence I sent an email and I got the response that the bonus as not available in my reason. I asked, if the offer is not available in my reason then why did you sent me the email and misguided me but there was no explanation and they are saying that I will get a 100% bonus on my first deposit. There is nothing to trust XM after this. when after sending one offer they are not honouring the same then there is no guaranty of getting any fair play with them.
Didn't even have the chance to trade with these guys because they kept asking me to upload a document that is not there - showing my residential address. If you have ever lived in Kenya, you will know that oly p.o. boxes are used when it comes to address. But the so called mananager knew everything about a country he has probably never even visited. Anyway it was a great thing i had not deposited ny cash yet otherwise i would have been in trouble.
I then requested them to close my account (this is what pissed me off), the kept on calling me. How hard is it to close an account when someone says close?
some days ago i opened a no deposit bonus account(30$) with xm,and after a while make 73$ profit from bonus account and requested to withdraw my money.my account was verified and everything was normal.but after my request their game started.i requested to withdraw my profit by webmoney.they reject my request and asked me to make a screenshot of my webmoney purse and send to them.i did.rejected again and asked me to provide them german phone to their account manager be able to reach me.i also did that.after a while they emailed me and blocked my account and deleted all my profits.i shocked ,i did not seen anything like that before.i asked them the reason and the answer was ,"you connected to the trading platform from a forbiden country."
because of my work (exporting flowers and fruits) i do traveling more.i was trading sometimes outside of germany.but i know all of this was just their excuses.they did same to many other traders.
be careful with this guys.
Positive experience with xm as of yet. only problem when withdrawing using skrill. skrill seem to be delaying the payment..any other people here using skrill to withdraw from xe? 5 days already and still no payment from skrill
Dear Mr. Nagy,
Indeed, between the end of the trading day on Thursday 10/7/14 and the beginning of the trading day on Friday 11/7/14 (Server Time) a technical error on our trading servers has resulted in open trades of certain instruments to be presenting unrealized profit and loss at that time as realized profit and loss.
Your overall account performance has not been affected in any way from this error. Moreover, you have already been fully compensated for inconvenience this error caused you.
If for any reason you require assistance please feel free to contact your account manager or our support desk.
Kind regards,
Andrey - Official Representative of XM (Trading Point of Financial Instruments Ltd.)
Last night the XM server had a technical problem and they closed all my open positions, and today they are telling me that all issues had benn addressed and resolved, which is really not true! I used the hedging method and all my positions where closed, mostly in minus and instead they reopened my position (all the position, same positions that I had at same price that was this morning), so now my ballance is in minus and they closed my positions without my will and by resolving the issue they opened new positions again without my will or notice, this is really unacceptable.
I was waiting all day on the backoffice feedback and nothing yet, I think that they ar not serious about my money and right now I feel that I lost all may monye + earning that I traded, in I lost the trust as well.
Yeah software problems do ocure but it is not may fault!
Amazing broker how i say how it is good broker A man knowing from his surrounding so like that xemarket have very good surrounding and Honest too i like that go go go xemarket we all with you thanksssssssssss
Hello Everyone, Please check the difference of pips you earn and the profit you get, there's some big difference every time you place an order.
I would like to offer my apologies to the site especially to Mr. Musstafa who was very cooperative with me and all that I have said about the site in the past was a moment of anger for not accepting my documents but now everything is ok and my account is verified and they are very helpful with their customers and if anyone looking for a good broker i think xm.com is the best choice
Lousy broker, they will only accuse you of so called fraud if you make a profit. But when you get margin called no such issue. STAY AWAY from this broker. A waste of time.
i dont advice any one to open an account with those people because i opened an account with them and they asked me for documents to validate my account but each time it was rejected and i dont know why they just keep saying (send an alternative document)
XM is the best broker.
My experience with XM is awesome they help me a lot.
In opening of account, they guide me all and well, nothing is hidden.
Here Mr. Jeet is wonderful person. He explains in very easy way.
XM all staff is very supportive. But I have no words for Mr. Jeet
He is a man of commitment, he speaks very nicely.
Thanks Jeet for Best support.

I lost my money with this broker. Coz this broker don't give to open the profit positions. They did open my orders after 5-8 minuts. This is crazy trading. Everybody don't trade with this broker NEWER. XEMARKETS IS FRAUD BROKER!
In continuation of my post....
I did explain with XM Broker. Thank to Valentin Kostin. He was my personal manager. He did help me in my case. Broker admitted his mistake and returned me the money that was seemingly lost.
Traders be aware of this company, the pose yo be good but eventually they are stealing from clients. I had pending buy order on Friday then market opened on a gap, they simply didn't execute my order because they were soo sure its a winning order and I will have over $120 profit from that particular order, it was at 155.230 and yet market opened at 155.900+ on gbpjpy, when I asked them, they told me orders are processed at first come first served basis FCFS, I asked them why then order at 155.230 was not executed yet comes first before 155.90, they simply never bothered to reply!!! I had trust with this company but am requesting for help to get compensated. for the money I lost after they closed orders that were supposed to be hedged at a loss.
XE Markets is one of the best broker in the world. customer friendly.I have been with XM for about 15 months.There services are excellent & there are Mr Jeet Singh who guide me in my mother language Hindi. Ten star from my side.
Thank You Jeet Sir for your nice support.

"Rosie the Riveter" was a generic name given to women who worked non-traditional jobs in factories and shipyards during WWII while men were away at war. The nickname came from a song by that name written in 1942. There were "Rosies" all over the country working in factories that manufactured munitions and war supplies. In the Pacific Northwest, Rosie the Riveters could be found at Todd Shipyards and Kaiser Shipyards building ships, Indian Island making submarine nets, Fort Lewis working as mechanics, and at many Boeing plants throughout the region constructing airplanes. For most of the Rosies, their jobs ended when the war did—when the men returned. But the Rosies marked a turning point in labor history: they were women who successfully held jobs that, until then, only men had held. Rosies opened the door for women to work in the trades—in construction, manufacturing, and transportation.
Six years ago, Washington Women in Trades (WWIT) embarked on a project to interview and photograph all of the Rosies they could locate in the state in order to create a calendar that commemorated their work. Since WWIT was founded by and for women working in the trades, it made sense to recognize the women in the region who were the foremothers of the modern tradeswomen. The WWIT members discovered that the project went far beyond what they had anticipated. Each Rosie's story is compelling; each goes beyond building airplanes or welding ships. They are stories that span a century of living.
Most Rosies were just teenagers when they hired on. Many had never left home. They were risk-takers who rode crowded trains across the country with empty pockets and paper bags full of lunch, seeking adventure and decent paychecks. They lived in boarding houses, they trained and they worked. They slogged through exhaustive hours, split shifts, interminable bus and ferry rides, and sexual and racial oppression. And seventy years ago they paved the way for other women to follow.
Since 2008, WWIT has been producing a calendar that features Washington state Rosies. Every year it gets harder and harder to find "calendar girls"–these women are national treasures with, unfortunately, an expiration date. The Washington Women in Trades are proud to participate in Northwest Folklife's Cultural Focus, Washington Works, and proud to introduce you to some of the most important women in labor in the region.
Washington Women in Trades is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve women's economic equity and self-sufficiency through access and success in high-wage, high-skilled careers in the construction, manufacturing and transportation sector. They produce two annual events; a spring Career Fair and a fall Awards Dinner. Their third major project is the annual Rosie Calendar. www.wawomenintrades.com
Please come and meet some of Washington state's Rosies on Sunday, May 26, at 2:00 PM in the Olympic Room, where Washington Works will present a panel on "Puget Sound Rosies: Riveting History."

How much meat do you get from a pig?
We may be done with the past, but the past may not be done with us.
Depending on how you butcher you could get between 1/2 and 3/4 of it's live weight.
A good rule of thumb is 60% meat/40% waste. This does depend on how you cut it up (how much bone is in your cuts) and what organs you will consider edible. This has been accurate for us. Hope your butchering goes well!
How big should the hams be?
This pig went toward 300 pounds. I got 82 pounds of lean. The guy that did it knows that this is my first time, and may have taken advantage of my ignorance. This weight includes all sausage trimmings, but not the fat just the lean.
From what I gather I got about what I was supposed to get in bacon, 18 pounds and 22 pounds of sausage trimmings. 25 ponds in ham seems awful short. He gave me two boneless, leading me to believe that he took alot of ham steaks for himself.
Matt, I just had three processed and each went between 300 & 325#. My hams weigh approx 30-35# each! So off of one 300# pig I got about 70# of hams well trimmed and skinned. That's almost as much meat as you got off the whole pig! We got 62# of bacon between the three or 20.5 # per pig. So I do think this fellow ripped you off big time.
We got approx 14- 2# packs of pork chops per pig, a lot of pork steak-more than 20 packs per pig plus neck bones, two long racks of ribs, heart, liver, shanks & sausage-lots of sausage which we love!
To give you some idea, those three pigs cut & wrapped totally filled a brand new 21 cu ft freezer with two of the hams having to go into another freezer!
It just doesn't make it worth all of the work and expense for the small amount of meat that you got back. I'm sorry your first experience had an unhappy ending. But try again and either do the butchering yourself or find a different reputable place to do it for you.
According to The Stockman's Handbook a 210 hog should hang at 150 pounds and produce 135 pounds of cuts as follows:
Hams - 24
Bacon - 20
Pork Roast - 17
Picnic & Shoulder Butts - 16
Pork Chops - 7
Pork Sausage - 8
Misc. Cuts - 7
Salt Pork - 5
Lard - 31
For larger weights the ratio should remain pretty much the same, although much over 300 pounds and the proportion of lard would increase. Note this does not seem to include the casings, brain, tongue, heart, liver or head cheese. Back when home processors used everything but the squeal, I suspect they would have gotton about 175 pounds of useable products out of that same 210 pound hog.
Does rather sound like you got taken big time.
Ken S. in WC TN
Did you figure in the 30lbs of lard or did you get the lard.
If you did not get the lard that would amout to some of the loss.
I got some fat to make lard, but I didn't figure that in. I only mentioned the lean cuts. Next year I am planning on doing this myself.
This is a link you might find helpful. It is just a generalization and will vary if you placed a cutting order with your butcher. My DH has been a butcher for 12 years and we just butchered our hogs over Thanksgiving. They weighed 225 and our loss was right at 40 pounds because we boned the shoulders out, cut up the backbone and kept it and made bone-in hams. It DOES sound like you got shafted .http://www.askthemeatman.com/pork_pr...percentage.htm
Hospitality consists of a little fire, a little food, and an immense quiet. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I am a bit new here so I don't know how things go very well yet. But the more I read the more suprised I am. I have never considered my self an inteligent man. How ever I do consider my self wise. At least wise enough to know what I don't know, so I READ something on the subject BEFORE I do it!! So I keep asking my self; If you are not sure about something WHY NOT ASK OR READ SOMETHING BEFORE YOU DO IT??? It sure helps the hemmoroids!! Getting screwed isn't the funnest thing I have ever had done to myself. Whenever you have someone else do work for you, at least find out a little about what they are going to do and what you can reasonably expect for your money. It doesn't hurt to get second opinions.
Humbly, Grant
Howdy folks,
A hog dresses out about a third off. As others have pointed, from there on, what you get depends on what all you use.
Personally, I'll eat everything on a pig but the squeal.
My advice? You can use the same guy again, if you have to. Just be on hand whenever he cust your meat up. He shouldn't mind the extra help at all. if he does, you have your answer.

Peggy O'Halloran is the new director of UW-Eau Claire's Center for Alcohol Studies and Education. O'Halloran, who started the position Aug. 1, has seven years of experience in program planning and implementation, grant writing and program evaluation in the public health field. With a bachelor's degree in biology from UW-Madison and a master's of public health degree from the University of Minnesota, O'Halloran was most recently the evaluation coordinator for HIV, STD and hepatitis prevention programs funded by the Minnesota Department of Health from 2002 to 2006.Last summer UW-Eau Claire received a two-year, $300,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to help support CASE, including an initiative aimed at reducing rates of drinking among first-year students. This semester begins the second year of grant-funded activities. O'Halloran said the goals of the grant program will continue to be increasing awareness of the consequences of high-risk drinking, enhancing enforcement of state laws and university policies regarding underage and high-risk drinking, reducing the number of students who drink and drive, and reducing the negative consequences of underage and high-risk drinking among first-year students.

Community fitness program begins this month
Meetings are in the Olson Addition of McPhee Physical Education Center on upper campus. This semester, new time slots from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are offered in addition to the traditional 6-8 a.m. time. Participants are not expected to stay the full two hours.The midday time slot may be particularly convenient for university faculty and staff members who typically are already on campus during that time and would not have parking concerns, said Don Bredle, one of the kinesiology faculty members coordinating the program.
The goal is to help adults who are out of shape, overweight or unsure about how to start a program to feel the many benefits that regular exercise can bring. Full story.

Apple Stock Split Seen Benefiting Online Brokers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The seven-for-one split of Apple (AAPL) effective Monday may provide a slight boost to earnings at online brokers E*Trade Financial (ETFC) and TD Ameritrade (AMTD), according to a report from Nomura Securities analyst Steven Chubak.
Single stock activity for Apple "lagged relevant averages," in its first trading day after the split, according to Chubak. However, about 1.2 million options contracts traded, representing a roughly 270% increase compared to the 12-month daily average of 450,000 contracts.
Assuming that upsurge is sustained, Chubak estimates it would add about 2% to consensus 2015 earnings for TD Ameritrade and 1% to E*Trade.
"While these figures are certainly not game-changing, we believe this potential benefit is not yet reflected in consensus; thus, any sustained increase in AAPL options activity is 'gravy' from our point of view, and should provide some additional revenue/earnings support," Chubak writes.
E*Trade shares were down 2.25% in late morning trading Tuesday to $20.67 while TD Ameritrade shares were lower by 1.09% to $30.76. Shares of both e-brokers gained on Monday.

[Totally not serious unless you know the ladies like to party, bahaha!]
sooo glad you posted this...because i just finished my girls' teachers gifts last night and i am soooo proud of them! i have never done a crafty gift before if you can believe that. i originally found the idea on pinterest, which directed me to a crafty blog and i made it my own version of it. i actually dug out my paper scrapping stuff (which i haven't seen in over 5 years!).
That looks so cool, I love the handmade variety, and I think the teachers do too! Great job!!
Thanks for the reminder! Tomorrow's the last day of school, so I need to pick up the stuff for my gifts today. I'm making these that I found on Pinterest.

Love Never Comes Too Late is a musically diverse collection of original love songs by the one and only VINX.

Rich and seductive, smooth and sophisticated, VINX's lush baritone creates the perfect atmosphere for romance. And it is VINX's signature percussion and inventive arrangements that keep this album pointed toward the future and relevant to all genres of today's listeners.
In our lives we give ourselves deadlines, to be successful by 25, married with family by 35, happily retired by 60 and so on. Whether we get there or not we believe these are within our control. But love insists on its own schedule and will not be ruled by expectation or duty... and the wisest of us know that Love Never Comes Too Late.

Clinton era economist and lover of all things "crazy government schemed" Robert Reich has a brand spanking new idea for how to solve the BP oil spill crisis. It involves nationalizing the company so that the federal government can take control. You can read Reich's not so unique scheme (nationalizing is the solution for everything on the left) in the Business Insider but there isn't much to it. Like his previous "let illegal immigrants into the country so we can save the economy" idea from a few months ago, it is heavy on liberal assumptions, light on sense.
Now Reich doesn't call his plan "nationalizing" because he knows that word is scary and sounds socialist (because it is). So instead of touting nationalizing he has decided to call his scheme "temporary receivership" instead. What is temporary receivership?
According to Cornell University Law School:
A remedy in which the court appoints a person to temporarily manage a piece of property that is in the defendant's possession. This remedy is available only when the plaintiff is asserting an equity claim in which the piece of property is the subject matter of the equity claim. Also, for the court to grant this remedy there also must be a danger that the defendant will damage or severely diminish the value of the property during the time that the cause of action is pending.
Basically in law a "receiver" is a person or entity a court appoints to take custody of another entity or enterprise. The receiver is allowed to make most decisions until it gives the entity or enterprise back to its owners. I could NOT find how this in any way relates to giving the federal government control. When that happens, temporary or otherwise, it is nationalization.
Nationalize: To invest control or ownership of in the national government
More to the point, nationalizing makes no sense in this situation, as BP doesn't own the ground or the oil. The government has given the company a permit to drill and the ability to profit from the labor and technology it employs and the investment it makes to bring the oil up and to market. Why would we nationalize a company when the problem exists with the Earth and oil owned by the people?
In short, temporary receivership is a technical term that is probably not at all applied right to this situation but is being used as a nice euphemism for nationalization. Basically the government swoops in, takes control of a private enterprise, a foreign one at that, and decides what to do with it. Since socialist liberals believe the federal government always works better than private industry and that private industry almost always has malicious intent, success!
Politicians and people like Reich love to change language rather than ideas or concepts. Their solutions are always the same but the words they use to describe them differ, making it sound like a new plan. In the end the solution to this problem is the same failed solution to every other problem. Car companies in trouble, nationalize, housing collapse, nationalize!
Because the government is massive, nationalizing creates a temporary sense of security as we assume things will either stay the same in the sense that we will continue producing the things that are unsustainable or things will radically alter, in that those responsible are fired and a new direction takes hold for an industry. Usually when we nationalize, things stabilize, we see temporary growth because of new confidence, the industry or organization taken over uses taxpayer money to give themselves big payoffs and find payouts for their investor friends, but then a few years later the same problems occur. Sometimes new problems occur because, surprise, government doesn't actually know how to run these industries!
Giving the federal government, an entity unable to run itself or create stability in anything it does, control over BP won't solve the problem, which is a giant hole spewing out oil. Now there are four government related entities that can probably help in this situation, the Army, Navy, NASA and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). All of these entities could contribute under the leadership of the Army and without the need for the government to nationalize BP in any way.
The federal government can simply exert its permit authority, take over the job site and put the army in charge of managing. As part of its previous and continued permitting of offshore drilling to BP, the government can make the company pay for the actual efforts but force them to take direction from the Army. The Army doesn't control any other aspect of BP's business in this situation, just this one job site where the problem exists. The government doesn't have to give BP the permit to drill there or anywhere off our coast. That is the leverage it can use to make BP pay for the problem it created and take direction from the Army.
The Army can then direct resources from the Navy, NASA and NOAA to assist this effort to plug the hole with BP drilling equipment, technology and labor. Once the problem is solved, life returns to normal. BP pays the bill but keeps its ability to drill in the area. We then open an investigation into what happened so hopefully it doesn't again. Problem, solved.
The Army has the best resources available for organization, command and launching large efforts of both industry and manpower. The Navy has underwater experience, technology and manpower. NASA and the NOAA have Earth monitoring technology and the kind of "outside the box, big technology thinking" that could be used to create solutions no one else has thought about.
In the end, the federal government is good at funding things that work, it isn't good at actually running them. So yes, the federal government plays a role, but that role is not in running BP, the job site or making the daily decisions. We already have the manpower, expertise, and ingenuity plus monitoring ability we need to get this done. What we don't have is the organization or trust under BP to accomplish the goal. A federal government takeover, temporary or otherwise, of the company won't give us that. A temporary takeover of the job site, already owned by the people but permitted out for drilling to BP, is the solution and the Army has the ability we need to get short-term things done.
Make no mistake about it, what Reich is seeking is nationalization and it is the wrong solution. It is in fact a solution that ignores the real problem and all of the factors unique to it. This is simply a scheme to allow a power grab of a private entity by the government. There is nothing in his argument that will actually solve the problem. We simply need to direct the right resources to the site. Then we can hand BP the bill, walk away and move forward.

***For those interested in Education Abroad (previously known as Study Abroad), please accept our apologies as we are updating our program information. Thank you for your patience in this time of flux.
Study in English at Kyung Hee University, Seoul Campus, South Korea
Bemidji State University, U.S.A. and Kyung Hee University, Seoul Campus, South Korea, offer the opportunity for a semester-long education abroad experience as an exchange student.
The purpose of the Student Exchange program is to promote international friendship and world peace stimulating and supporting intercultural activities and projects among students from the USA and South Korea, and to promote goodwill between the two institutions--especially in the area of student exchange.
Each institution will determine its own method of selecting students for the exchange program and determine how each of its students is likely to benefit from a particular course of study at the host institution. Students must meet the admission requirements for international students of the host institution, and the final admission decision will be determined by the appropriate official body at the host institution. Equivalency between courses and programs will be agreed upon in advance for each student for the purpose of awarding academic credit.
All applications and dossiers will be sent to the receiving institution specifying a deadline for response.
Exchange students will be permitted to enroll in courses and programs at the host institution for which they are qualified with the exception of those courses in which places may not be available due to enrollment limitations. Enrollment in ESL courses at BSU by KHU students will be determined by the student's performance on the English language assessment administered during the orientation session.
Students enrolled in the host institution will have the same privileges and enjoy the same student services, and other amenities as other full-time residence students. They will also be subject to the statutes, ordinances, and regulations of the host institution as well as the local, state and federal laws of the region.
The program is based initially on the principles of a direct annual one-to-one exchange of students. Some latitude may be provided in allowing for unequal exchange of students as long as the total number of students is relatively equal over a period of five years. Once BSU names a student to attend KHU as an exchange participant, KHU will then select their exchange student to attend BSU.
Each student will pay tuition and fees to his/her home institution as well as such ancillary charges that may be charged by that institution. Exchange students are subject to the same requirements for admission and academic performance expectations as established by the host institution.
No refund of fees will be granted unless otherwise stated in official university documents, if the student is unable to complete his or her course.
Students will be responsible for their own travel arrangements and associated costs.
The host institution will help arrange accommodations for visiting students. Students will be required to live in on-campus housing if available. Students will be responsible for submitting the on-campus housing applications and for the cost of accommodations. The universities will also provide meal option information. The student will be responsible for all food costs.
Credit at the home institution will be determined by the home institution dependent upon the courses taken and grades received by the students at the host institution. Terms under which credit will be awarded will normally be provided to the exchange students prior to their enrollment.
Each student must undertake in writing to comply with the regulations of the host institution and with the instructions given by his or her advisor/tutor.
Each student shall comply with the host school's requirement for evidence of language proficiency.
Each exchange student must make arrangements for health/hospitalization insurance while they are the host institution.
1. KHU students studying at BSU will be required to purchase the health insurance plan provided by the health insurance provider contracted by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU).
2. BSU students studying at KHU must purchase the education abroad health insurance provider contracted by MnSCU.
Each student must possess a passport and required visa for the period of exchange.
Each student must demonstrate to the host institution that he or she possesses sufficient financial resources to participate in the exchange.
Students must agree to authorize their host institution to send official transcripts to their home institution upon completion of the academic program.
Both institutions shall make available information on academic policies and procedures, academic program offerings, on-campus housing accommodations, calendars and schedules.
Each student shall provide an acceptable health affidavit/immunization record to the host institution designated official prior to admission to the university.
This agreement will be valid for a period of five years, beginning with the 2011 spring semester.
Visit Kyung Hee University's website for more information on their program offerings and to access the application to attend KHU. http://oia.khu.ac.kr
BSU students interested in participating in this exchange program need to complete an Application to Participate as an Exchange Student at Kyung Hee University.
Apply to become an exchange student in South Korea.
