A recent issue of Barron's advised "Beware of Bond Funds." Should you?
If you are managing your own portfolio of investments, you may want to take a look at some different bond investments in today's market. Most portfolios have some allocation to bonds and for people who are closer to retirement or in retirement, they will typically have a higher allocation. The main reasons to increase your bond allocation as you approach retirement are that historically bonds have been less volatile and lower in risk than stocks and retirees like to live off the dividends that bonds pay out.
Let's come back to the July 10 issue of Barron's with its headline reading "Beware of Bond Funds." The author pointed out that as interest rates rise, the values of bonds decline. He went on to say if you are holding individual bonds, you can wait it out until the bond matures and then get your principal back. But if you are in a bond fund, the bonds don't mature and the value can drop.
So what do you do?
The author recommends buying individual corporate bonds for your portfolio. I disagree. Unless you have $500,000 or more to invest (and know what you are doing), you will be paying high fees, sometimes up to 2 to 3 percent for the bonds, and those fees will negate the reason for buying bonds in the first place.
I recommend two bond fund strategies:
1. First, put some of your money in a bond fund. Make sure the bond manager has sufficient latitude to invest in a variety of bonds. Having the ability to sell bonds that are subject to interest-rate-risk and buy other more opportunistic bonds (such as high-quality mortgage-backed bonds that don't typically carry interest-rate-risk) gives the manager the leeway to protect your principal.
For example, the Pimco Total Return Fund had a positive performance of
15.43 percent from May 31, 2004 to August 31, 2007, when interest rates rose to 5.25 percent from 1 percent. This bond fund also returned 11.67 percent from May 31, 1999 to Dec. 31, 2000, when interest rates rose from 4.75 percent to 6.50 percent. If you read this bond fund's prospectus, the bond fund manager has a lot of freedom to move around in the bond market and that is why they performed so well when interest rates went up.
2. Second, consider the Claymore Securities Fixed Income Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that actually mature at a specified date. Claymore's ETF bond fund managers invest in a basket of bonds that mature at pre-determined year. These bond strategies give you a low-cost advantage (0.24 percent) of owning individual bonds, the benefit of a diversified portfolio of bonds that most investors cannot achieve on their own, and a definite maturity date to get your principal back. There are some risks of investing in these bond funds but I would definitely put them on the lower risk scale relative to many other bond strategies.
As always, be sure you understand what you are investing in.

Using the existing dice for Dust Tactics to me seems limiting on creating new rules, such as Morale and such. You only have two results on the die and therefore two major categories to give to unit to differentiate thier ability levels. You have pretty much Hard (need a hit result, 1 in 3 chance) and easy (you need a miss result, 2 in 3 chance).
The other option is to use multiple dice and needing one hit (or miss) for success, such as how Advanced Reactive Fire and Superior Reactive Fire work. I am certain I read somewhere that to prevent being "pinned" or "suppressed" the unit needs to roll a hit result. In the future will we see units that have Strong Morale or Heroic Morale that allow them to roll two or even three dice? Or that flip the results (hit is a miss, miss is a hit)? Or a combination of both?
Will heroes leading a unit get an extra dice to roll to keep morale?
I am pretty sure that these questions are either already addressed in the rules being tested/worked on, or are not a issue (as in they dont have morale rules etc etc) so Im just trying to get a grasp on how the game is expanding beyond tactics, beyond the health, move, armor, weapon line, cover and skill stats a unit has.

Board seeks answers about cycling event
The UCI World Road Cycling Championships will take place in the Richmond region three years from this week, but Henrico County officials need more information before formally committing to climb aboard for the ride. Officials from Richmond 2015 – the nonprofit organization that will host the nine-day international event – asked Henrico's Board of Supervisors during a Sept. 11 work session to contribute a total of $1.4 million to the championships during the next three years. But supervisors and County Manager Virgil Hazelett, while pledging support for the event in general terms, bristled at the request because it lacked the specifics they were expecting. "It is clear to me that we do not have sufficient information," Hazelett said. "My main concern is the cost. I don't have a comfort level yet in what's going to happen." Richmond 2015 has established a budget of $21.4 million, its CEO, William Flohr, told the board. The City of Richmond has committed a $2 million contribution, he said, and presentations to officials in Hanover and Chesterfield counties followed the visit to Henrico. The organization arrived at its $1.4 million request of Henrico by following the regional funding format that was used for the Greater Richmond Convention Center, to which Richmond contributed 50 percent, Henrico 35 percent, Chesterfield 13 percent and Hanover 2 percent. Board 'disappointed' in approach But it was clear during last week's work session that at least some county officials felt slighted by the organization's decision to approach them now to assist with an event that may have quickly outgrown its original scope – and by the implication among some in the public that the county was not being a regional partner. During a steady and pointed line of questioning, Brookland District Supervisor and board chairman Dick Glover expressed as much, suggesting that Richmond 2015 officials had dropped the ball by waiting more than 18 months to meet with the full Henrico board. He implied that if the organization had involved Henrico from the beginning (in late 2010), the county would have felt more like a true partner and less like a bank account. "I am very disappointed that this is almost two years after [the process began] that the Board of Supervisors of Henrico County has been approached," Glover said. "I feel like you've left us out of the picture, and now you're coming to us with not enough information." Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson was similarly unimpressed. "You came to us and gave us nothing today," Nelson told the organization's contingent. "I think it's a healthy promotion for our region, but you're asking us to spend a million and a half dollars that are not in our budget. We each have capital improvement projects [awaiting funding] in our districts, and I've got people in my district ready to shoot me because we don't have a new school yet." Nelson also suggested that if the county were to donate the requested $1.4 million, it should receive more than just one of the 12 races scheduled for the nine-day event – particularly if Richmond's $2 million donation is enough to earn it nine races. (Hanover and Chesterfield also would receive one race each by contributing to the event, Richmond 2015 organizers said.) Flohr, who joined Richmond 2015 in April, conceded that the organization might have done some things differently before his arrival, in retrospect. "It perhaps should have been a regional effort," he said, "and we're trying to make it into a regional effort now." Economic impact debated Henrico stands to realize a $42 million economic benefit from the event, Flohr said; some 450,000 spectators are expected to attend the races. Flohr told the board that Henrico would receive an additional $832,000 in hotel and lodging taxes during the nine-day period, but Hazelett questioned his math, saying that the county typically receives about that much during the month of September, when the occupancy rate is about 60 percent. "We can't double that [amount] in nine days with only 40 percent vacancy available," Hazelett said. The race proposed for Henrico is the initial time trial for men and women, which might begin in Short Pump and travel east to its conclusion in the city. That race would be televised live on a national network, Flohr said. But though Henrico would receive commercials during the broadcast and the opportunity for other exposure, Flohr could provide no specific details. The organization must purchase TV time from a network and has not yet completed the negotiation process, he said. Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O'Bannon told Flohr that the board would need to see a specific list of the benefits it would receive for a $1.4 million donation before determining how to proceed. Hazelett expressed serious concerns about the costs associated with heavy police and security needed to protect the 1,000 cyclists – some of whom will represent nations with volatile political climates – as well as spectators and citizens. Those costs, combined with shutting down more than 60 intersections for the race, could total nearly $500,000, Hazelett said – money that he said should be deducted from any donation Henrico makes. To date, Richmond 2015 has financial commitments from five corporate partners totaling more than $2 million, but Flohr declined to name those companies. He promised Hazelett and the board that he would have specific details and answers to their questions by the first week of October, however. The UCI event, which began in 1927 and has been held annually since (except for a seven-year period during World War II), will be held in The Netherlands this year, Italy next year and Spain in 2014. The United States has hosted it only once, in Colorado Springs in 1986. |

By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH) The world's best sprint car drivers will battle the tough weekly competition Friday when the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series comes to Attica Raceway Park. Many drivers from the World of Outlaws began their careers visiting Attica and they know the stiff competition the weekly drivers will present. Here's a look at some of the drivers who will be competing for the $10,000 top prize on Kistler Engines Classic Night: Chad Kemenah of Alvada, Ohio is third on the track's all-time win list with 20 victories and nearly got his first WoO win of 2013 Monday at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Chad has 8 top five runs with the Outlaws and 10 top 10 finishes and is 9th in the series' points. Chad began his racing career at Attica and is a four time champion of the University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions. Daryn Pittman of Owosso, Oklahoma, is having a dream season in his first year with the Kasey Kahne Racing team. Leading the World of Outlaw points, he has five series wins to go with his 18 top five finishes and 24 top ten runs. Pittman has never won a race at Attica. Five time series champion Donny Schatz of Fargo, North Dakota, picked up his fifth World of Outlaws win of the season Monday at Lawrenceburg Speedway. Schatz, who sits second in the series points, has 13 top five finishes and 20 top 10 runs. Driving one of the Tony Stewart Racing machines, Schatz picked up his second career Attica win the last time the series visited "Ohio's Finest Racing" speedplant in 2011. Paul McMahan of Nashville, Tenn., has scored two World of Outlaw wins in 2013 to move him into third in the series' standings. He has 13 top five finishes and 18 top 10s. McMahan does not own a victory at Attica. The legendary Sammy Swindell, a three time series champion, currently sits fourth in the World of Outlaw points. Swindell has one win with the series this season to go with 7 top five runs. Swindell has four career wins at Attica, including one with the World of Outlaws in 1994. Brownsburg, Indiana's Joey Saldana is with a new team in 2013 and has yet to get a World of Outlaws win this season and sits fifth in the series' points. He has five top five finishes and picked up a series win at Attica in 2007 to run his career total at the track to six. Craig Dollansky of Elk River, MN, has two World of Outlaw wins in 2013 to go with his 6 top five finishes and is sixth in the series' points. Dollansky has one career victory at Attica. Watertown, Connecticut's David Gravel began his career with the UNOH All Stars and raced at Attica many times but has yet to find victory lane. Driving a team car to fellow World of Outlaws competitor Bill Rose, Gravel sits seventh in the series' points and has four top five finishes and 11 top 10 runs. Cody Darrah, driving a Kasey Kahne Racing machine, is eighth in the World of Outlaws points with a pair of top five finishes and 10 top ten runs. Darrah, who began his racing career in the tough central Pennsylvania area, is winless at Attica. "The King" Steve Kinser of Bloomington, Indiana, has had a rough season so far in 2013, but could easily turn it around at Attica. Kinser, a 20-time World of Outlaws champion, has two series wins at the track (1990 and 1991) and has a total of four at the track. Kinser is 10th in the series points with one win and two top five finishes. Kraig Kinser of Bloomington, Indiana, is 11th in the World of Outlaw points with one win in 2013 to go with 4 top five finishes and 12 top 10 runs. He has not found victory lane in his career at Attica. Australia's Kerry Madsen is 12th in the World of Outlaw points with one win and 11 top 10 finishes. Madsen has no wins at Attica. Jason Sides of Bartlett, Tenn. , is currently 13th in the series' points with 3 top five runs and 9 top 10 finishes. He has no wins at Attica.

After failing to find a crib with a sense of style that was in her price range, Bratt Decor founder Mary Bauer and her husband decided to make their own. After all, a crib is the centerpiece of the nursery, and Bauer just wasn't willing to settle. They were proud of the four-poster wrought-iron crib (topped with a spray of white ostrich feathers) that they made, and 17 years later, Bratt Decor now sells cribs, bedding, mattresses, lighting, and accessories for the nursery — all of which feature gorgeous, unique designs.

Medically known as Acne Vulgaris, Acne happens when the glands producing oils around the hair follicles get blocked. The glands use these channels to deliver oils to the surface of the skin. When the passageways are blocked, oils, sometimes filled with dead skin, accumulate under our skin and form pimples. Blockage usually occurs when the glands are highly stimulated such as an increase in hormonal levels. Hence the reason acne usually only appear during adolescence. There are different types of acne representing the varying severity degree of acne.
Blackheads and whiteheads are mild and usually disappear quickly without leaving permanent traces. Papules are small, pink bumps. They can be unattractive and unpleasant, but they shouldn't give you much causes for concern. Nonetheless, it is important to treat these nasty bumps with the best acne treatment products. Pustules, nobules, and cysts are increasingly critical and more serious forms of acne. These are the main perpetrators of leaving acne scars. Scars occur when the pimples are inflamed. Inflammation of pimples are caused when the blocked channels are engorged due to being filled too quickly with an excessive amount of oils. Most of the time, these miniscule, pus-filled balloon will pop leaving behind little lesions known as acne scars. The severity of the scars depends on where the popping happens. The nearer to the skin's surface the less critical the scar. These will heal in time. The deeper into the skin and follicle wall will cause more serious damage. Often times, the follicle walls will break and dead skin filled oils spill out infecting and then destroying perfectly healthy skin cells.
The best way to prevent scarring of acne is to get acne under control and prevent inflammation. When you invest time and effort into the well-being of your skin, there will be less need to repair damage later. Drink lots of water. Eat healthy food. Wash yourself daily to prevent nasty things from living and accumulating on your skin. Sometimes pores cleanser are all you need to prevent any of this from happening. When pimples do appear, reduce the chances for inflammation such as applying topical ointments and soaking them in warm water. Don't cause stress to both the pimple and the skin by trying to pop it.
However, even in the best of care, pimple can still form, inflamed itself, and create an ugly scar. There are many treatments such as topical cream, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or even antibiotics. Whatever happens, do not cover it up with too much make up or lotion. These will irritate your skin and make matter worse. Most of the time, with the right care and treatment, these scars will disappear on its own.

Jon Turteltaub first heard the story of the 1988 Olympic Jamaican bobsled team when he was in film school. "We all thought that was both hilarious and sort of indicative of what the Olympics was all about," Turteltaub said. "In some ways it was looked at as a joke, and in other ways, it was looked at as a very inspiring little anecdote that made the whole Olympics have more character." Less than five years later, Turteltaub would get a call from his agent about a new opportunity.
Disney was making a film about the Jamaican bobsled team's story, and Turteltaub was in need of a gig. "I needed a job. This script was just sitting out there, and they weren't sure whether they were making it or not. My agent sent it to me, and said, 'Remember when you were the flavor of the month? Your month is over. Do this movie.'" Just like that, Turteltaub agreed to audition for the job, which he would later get. "When I first got the job to do the movie, I called my mother and I told her the big news that I finally got hired by a real movie studio to direct a movie and that I was going to Calgary for two months and then to Jamaica for a month. The first words out of her mouth were, 'How do you pack for that?' So that was my welcome to show business."
Now, more than 20 years later, Turteltaub is not only accustomed to the world of show business, but he's yet to stop hearing about that Disney film he created all those years ago. And in honor of the 2014 Winter Olympics — and the similar story behind this year's Jamaican bobsled team, who will start competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics on Sunday — EW is looking back at the 1993 film about the Jamaican team that could. As the saying goes, "Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, it's bobsled time!"

The debate on which products are best for weight loss…
With the current change in lifestyle habits and the consumption of processed foods, there are chances that most people will find themselves gaining weight more than they are loosing. If you look at AliveByNature on Amazon, you'll see that there a number of very popular products that can help. That's a good thing says endinghunger.org. Why? Most people find that they are likely to suffer from obesity, high blood pressure, among other complications that come with being overweight. This has lead people to try and find dietary supplements that will help them to loose weight at a faster rate.
The debate
There are so many products in the market that have come up and if one is desperate enough, they find themselves trying all if them out. Unfortunately, not all of them give good results. However, there are those that have been proven to work efficiently. The super fruit diet which consists of The African Mango and garcinia cambogia which has been known to improve metabolism as well as provide other additional benefits to the body. It is proven to be clinically safe and has no side effects. Not only does it perform these actions but it also reduces the amount of cholesterol in the body thus resulting in a much healthier body.
This is a great weight supplement that most people have testified that it actually works. The Raspberry Ketone as explained by Dr. Oz stimulates the production of the adiponectin hormone which in turn helps the body to metabolize fat. According to researchers, people who have a high level of adiponectin are likely to be thinner than those who have a lower level of the hormone. There have been a lot of debates about this product but those who have used it seem to have positive reviews about the product and find no problem recommending it to other people to try it out.
Just like the super fruit diet, this product contains natural ingredients and has no side effects. The Acai Berry on the other hand has been known to increase the rate at which our bodies metabolize food. Not only does it speed up metabolism but it also slows down the aging process.
Therefore, this results in a much younger looking and healthier person. It is a natural product with no side effects. Dr. Oz has on several occasions recommended the Green Coffee Extract which helps people to loose weight by burning fat quickly and reducing the level of cholesterol in the body. It has no side effects just like the previously mentioned products.
The debate on which supplements to choose for weight loss might never end but when it comes to which products work effectively, the above mentioned products have been proven to work. The puzzle, however, might be which one to choose.

Of divorce. (1-4) Of new-married persons, Of man-stealers, Of pledges. (5-13) Of justice and generosity. (14-22)
Verses 1-4 Where the providence of God, or his own wrong choice in marriage, has allotted to a Christian a trial instead of a help meet; he will from his heart prefer bearing the cross, to such relief as tends to sin, confusion, and misery. Divine grace will sanctify this cross, support under it, and teach so to behave, as will gradually render it more tolerable.
Verses 5-13 It is of great consequence that love be kept up between husband and wife; that they carefully avoid every thing which might make them strange one to another. Man-stealing was a capital crime, which could not be settled, as other thefts, by restitution. The laws concerning leprosy must be carefully observed. Thus all who feel their consciences under guilt and wrath, must not cover it, or endeavour to shake off their convictions; but by repentance, and prayer, and humble confession, take the way to peace and pardon. Some orders are given about pledges for money lent. This teaches us to consult the comfort and subsistence of others, as much as our own advantage. Let the poor debtor sleep in his own raiment, and praise God for thy kindness to him. Poor debtors ought to feel more than commonly they do, the goodness of creditors who do not take all the advantage of the law against them, nor should this ever be looked upon as weakness.
Verses 14-22 It is not hard to prove that purity, piety, justice, mercy, fair conduct, kindness to the poor and destitute, consideration for them, and generosity of spirit, are pleasing to God, and becoming in his redeemed people. The difficulty is to attend to them in our daily walk and conversation.
Deuteronomy 24:1-22 . OF DIVORCES.
1-4. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes--It appears that the practice of divorces was at this early period very prevalent amongst the Israelites, who had in all probability become familiar with it in Egypt [LANE]. The usage, being too deep-rooted to be soon or easily abolished, was tolerated by Moses ( Matthew 19:8 ). But it was accompanied under the law with two conditions, which were calculated greatly to prevent the evils incident to the permitted system; namely: (1) The act of divorcement was to be certified on a written document, the preparation of which, with legal formality, would afford time for reflection and repentance; and (2) In the event of the divorced wife being married to another husband, she could not, on the termination of that second marriage, be restored to her first husband, however desirous he might be to receive her.
5. When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war--This law of exemption was founded on good policy and was favorable to matrimony, as it afforded a full opportunity for the affections of the newly married pair being more firmly rooted, and it diminished or removed occasions for the divorces just mentioned.
6. No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge--The "upper" stone being concave, covers the "nether" like a lid; and it has a small aperture, through which the corn is poured, as well as a handle by which it is turned. The propriety of the law was founded on the custom of grinding corn every morning for daily consumption. If either of the stones, therefore, which composed the handmill was wanting, a person would be deprived of his necessary provision.
7. If a man be found stealing any of his brethren--(See Exodus 21:16 ).
8, 9. Take heed in the plague of leprosy--(See Leviticus 13:14 ).
10-13. When thou dost lend thy brother anything, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge--The course recommended was, in kind and considerate regard, to spare the borrower's feelings. In the case of a poor man who had pledged his cloak, it was to be restored before night, as the poor in Eastern countries have commonly no other covering for wrapping themselves in when they go to sleep than the garment they have worn during the day.
14, 15. Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy--Hired servants in the East are paid at the close of the day; and for a master to defraud the laborer of his hire, or to withhold it wrongfully for a night, might have subjected a poor man with his family to suffering and was therefore an injustice to be avoided ( Leviticus 19:13 ).
16-18. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children--The rule was addressed for the guidance of magistrates, and it established the equitable principle that none should be responsible for the crimes of others.
19-22. When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field--The grain, pulled up by the roots or cut down with a sickle, was laid in loose sheaves; the fruit of the olive was obtained by striking the branches with long poles; and the grape clusters, severed by a hook, were gathered in the hands of the vintager. Here is a beneficent provision for the poor. Every forgotten sheaf in the harvest-field was to lie; the olive tree was not to be beaten a second time; nor were grapes to be gathered, in order that, in collecting what remained, the hearts of the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow might be gladdened by the bounty of Providence.

Lyric Opera makes a glorious case for Verdi's 'Simon Boccanegra'
BY ANDREW PATNER October 16, 2012 5:52PM
Frank Lopardo (left) and Thomas Hampson, in the title role, performs during the dress rehearsal of Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra" at the Civic Opera House on Friday, October 12, 2012. I Stacie Scott~Sun-Times Media
◆ Through Nov. 9
◆ Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker
◆ Tickets, $34-$259
◆ (312) 332-2244
Updated: November 18, 2012 7:00AM
Riccardo Muti, Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director and one of the world's great Verdi conductors, recently said, "When people speak of 'early Verdi,' 'late Verdi,' 'problem Verdi,' 'popular Verdi,' I don't know what they are talking about. Verdi is Verdi, and it is a privilege to work on or listen to any or all of his operas. It is a story of music."
Even without Muti's involvement, it's hard to imagine a stronger case for Verdi than Lyric Opera of Chicago's new presentation of "Simon Boccanegra," which opened Monday night with great success at the Civic Opera House.
Chicago producers and audiences love this otherwise too little heard work. Although this is Lyric's first staging in 17 years, it's the company's seventh outing with this opera, which tells of an early Renaissance pirate turned Doge of Genoa, guilt-ridden by his checkered love life and parental irresponsibility. Since 1959, Tito Gobbi took the title role for three runs (and even directed), and Piero Cappuccilli, Sherrill Milnes and Alexandre Agache followed, with such other renowned singers as Richard Tucker, Renata Tebaldi, Ruggerio Raimondi, Martina Arroyo and Kiri Te Kanawa taking other key parts here.
This time, it's Thomas Hampson's turn. At 57, the American baritone is at the height of his acting and characterization powers, even if an unannounced indisposition Monday limited some of his high notes and caused vocal strain at times. This is a dark and inward work, introduced in Venice in 1857 to puzzled response and successfully reworked by Verdi almost a quarter-century later, for La Scala in 1881. At every moment, Hampson makes it clear this is a man struggling with the questions of morality, leadership, aging, service and heartache.
The remarkable Italian bass Ferruccio Furlanetto is Fiesco, Boccanegra's sworn enemy, the father of the Doge's dead and disgraced lover, and grandfather of his lost child. Now 63, Furlanetto had to wait until last season to make his Lyric debut, as a highly praised Boris Godunov. Furlanetto alone invests so much humanity into his part — not to mention strength and warmth throughout its wide range — that the idea that Verdi is only about blood vengeance is pushed far out of mind. Furlanetto's performance as he handles the old man's many changing moods and encounters is like a great master class.
Muti introduced Bulgarian soprano Krassimira Stoyanova to Chicago in his remarkable CSO "Otello" two seasons back. As Maria/Amelia, Stoyanova was vocally admirable at every turn but lacked the theatrical abilities of her male elders. American tenor Frank Lopardo gave one of his finest Lyric performances as Adorno, Amelia's suitor, and Simon's eventual ally and successor.
A bigger breakout came from former Ryan Center baritone Quinn Kelsey as Paolo, the courtier who is so purely bad that even he seems puzzled as to why. Kelsey's voice, color and phrasing were clear, dark and exciting. Furlanetto told Opera News recently that Kelsey could become the Verdi baritone we've been waiting for for years. Current Ryan members bass Evan Boyer, tenor Bernard Holcomb and mezzo J'nai Bridges acquitted themselves admirably, as did the Lyric Chorus under its new chorus master Martin Wright, whose direction toward subtlety matched that of the singers in their many ensembles.
Music director Andrew Davis had his best evening in the Italian repertoire that I've heard, and in a work without big, known "numbers," the orchestra and its depiction of mood and coastal geography is key. Director Elijah Moshinsky was at his best here, too, staging as if we are witnesses to an actual human drama. Michael Yeargan's Covent Garden sets, almost historic by now, appear to have been buffed back into freshness, as have Peter J. Hall's period costumes, out of a Genovese painting. Duane Schuler's lighting, re-created by Jason Brown, made darkness illuminating.
This is Verdi for the ages. So leave prejudices and questions at home and turn yourself over to a chapter in the story of music.
Andrew Patner is critic at large for WFMT-FM (98.7).

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bailey!
Facts about Bailey
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bailey's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
For more information please visit our website at www.rrocf.org. There you can view our adoption policies, fees, complete our online adoption application (required), as well as a list of upcoming adoption events. Due to the high volume of telephone calls we receive, please do not call or email asking for more information (all the info is on our website). Thank you!
Other Pets at RUFF Rescue of Central Florida, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bailey, a Minneola Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog for sale in Minneola, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog puppy from a breeder in Minneola.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Minneola already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Minneola breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Minneola paves the way for another one to be saved.

Become the physician you always wanted to be!
University of Louisville School of Medicine 2014 White Coat Ceremony with program alumni
Celebrating our First Five Years 2009 - 2014!
Over the past five years our program has grown and evolved. We have been successful in matriculating the majority of our students to medical school; not only at the University of Louisville School of Medicine,but medical schools throughout the United States and abroad. Our program takes its mission seriously by investing time, attention, resources and support to facilitate our students' success in becoming the physician they always wanted to be. Our first set of medical school graduates will finish in May 2015. The medical school graduating class of 2021 is waiting for you! Now is the time to prepare to be a competitive applicant for our program.
We are now heading into our sixth year!
Kentucky has 120 counties and approximately 80 of them are health professional shortage areas (HPSA) http://hpsafind.hrsa.gov/. Entire counties or portions of these counties do not have enough health care professionals to meet the health care needs of their population. More physicians are greatly needed to practice in medically under served areas to help improve the quality of life and access to health care for its residents. In Kentucky there are numerous counties without hospitals or specialists, requiring its residents to drive to the cities of Louisville, Lexington, etc., which in many cases are miles and hours away. Area Health Education Centers or AHECs in Kentucky are diligently working to help remedy this situation. Most are located near or in medically underserved areas. There are Area Health Education Centers located throughout the U.S.A. striving to reduce the amount of medically underserved areas in their state. It's not just a Kentucky issue. There are rural and urban medically underserved areas throughout the nation in need of more health professionals to meet the health care needs of the population. There's also a great need to diversify the health care work force and to have more culturally competent health professionals.
The need for more primary care physicians; family and general practitioners; internal medicine practitioners and pediatricians continues to grown nationally. These physicians serve as the first point of contact for most patients and through them referrals are made to specialists if necessary. Our program exist to serve as a potential remedy to this problem by helping to increase and diversify the health care work force one student at a time.
The first step to become a physician is going to medical school. Medical schools have limited class sizes available each year which makes admission very competitive. Admission committees are seeking competitive applicants who have completed their pre-med requirements; are academically strong; have scored well on the MCAT; have had clinical exposure (shadowing); are well rounded; have a sincere compassion for others through community service involvement; make a great impression during their interview; have solid letters of recommendation and have a genuine interest in medicine. There is a lot involved in preparing for and applying to medical school. Many students get discouraged or lost in the shuffle without the professional guidance to help them navigate through the preparation process.
The University of Louisville School of Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences established this program for career changers interested in going to medical school. This program is designed specifically for career changers with a bachelor's or advance degree who want to go to medical school but haven't fulfilled the pre-med requirements for medical school admission. Our program serves as a navigation system for its students. Please note: This is not an academic enhancing program. If your GPA is below our required minimum, you may want to seek a record enhancing program or another program with a more lenient criteria. Please refer to http://services.aamc.org/postbac/ for a listing of additional programs.
Our application cycle is for fall entry only. There are 20 spots available for the upcoming fall 2015 cohort. This is a two year program. For example, our fall 2014 cohort would be scheduled to complete the program by May 2016. However, it is possible to complete the program in a shorter period of time, pending the number of hours you take each semester and whether or not you take summer classes.
This program is the first of its kind in Kentucky. It is designed for career changers who have earned their bachelor's or higher from an accredited U.S. college/university and desire to become a physician; but lack the pre-med requirements and preparation to apply to medical school. Applicants must have minimal pre-med level science course work in biology, chemistry and physics (not exceeding 12 credit hours). Pre-med level courses are usually for biology, chemistry or physics majors or minors. Please note: If more than 12 hours has been taken, the only exception made is if the course work was taken 10 or more years ago.
The 12 hours doesn't include introductory level courses in biology, chemistry or physics nor does it include science courses acquired from nursing, exercise science or physical therapy, unless they were also for majors/minors in biology, chemistry or physics.
Each student has a program plan tailor made just for them based on course offerings each semester and their availability. Students attend school either on a part-time or full-time basis. Some students must work while in the program. Our students may take a minimum of six credit hours per semester (summer courses are optional). Most classes are available morning, afternoon and evening during the week. Classes are taken with the general student population, including current undergraduate students.Our program is not responsible for the course offerings, the availability of courses or which instructor is teaching the course(s). That is determined by the individual department and the College of Arts & Sciences Dean's Office.
Our program is a one stop shop for its students!
We provide a student friendly and supportive environment
We provide advising exclusively for our post-bac pre-med students
We provide monthly enrichment sessions and lunch & learn sessions
We provide a book exchange and resource library with course and MCAT materials
We provide tutoring through the REACH Department
We provide ongoing volunteer service opportunities and shadowing experiences
We provide enrichment and extra curricular activities

We offer assured admission to the University of Louisville School of Medicine!
Our students have a guaranteed support system that will guide them through the entire pre-medical process; from pre-med coursework to their medical school interview. Our students don't have to compete with undergraduate pre-med students for advising or for the services necessary for medical school preparation. They receive personalized attention while in the program and become a part of a supportive pre-med community.

" Teamwork is the ability to work together towards a common vision.
The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives.
It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results." - Andrew Carnegie
Our program is striving to increase and diversify the health care workforce statewide and nationwide. We not only encourage our students to apply to the University of Louisville School of Medicine, we also make them aware of our other two medical schools in the state, the University of Kentucky College of Medicine and the University of Pikeville College of Osteopathic Medicine. We are producing qualified and competitive applicants for medical schools in Kentucky, throughout the United States and abroad.
Our program has a linkage with the University of Louisville School of Medicine via assured admissions for qualified students who meet the criteria. Assured Admission reserves a seat in the entering medical school class for qualified students. Our ultimate goal is for our students to successfully matriculate into medical school and become the physician they always wanted to be.
"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use." - Quote by Earl Nightingale

Imagine you have two different tables/queries that are supposed to have/return identical data. You want to verify this. What's an easy way to show any unmatched rows from each table just like the example below, comparing every column? Assume there are 30 columns in the tables, many of which are NULLable.
When there is no PK or there could be duplicates per PK, joining on just PK columns isn't enough, and it would be a disaster to have to do a FULL JOIN with 30 join conditions that properly handle NULLs, plus a nasty WHERE condition to exclude the matched rows.
Usually it is when I'm writing a new query against unscrubbed or not-fully-understood data that the problem is worst and the likelihood of a PK being logically available is extremely low. I cook up two different ways to solve the problem and then compare their results, the differences highlighting special cases in the data that I was unaware of.
The result needs to look like this:
Which Col1 Col2 Col3 ... Col30
------ ------ ------ ------ ------
TableA Cat 27 86 -- mismatch
TableB Cat 27 105 -- mismatch
TableB Cat 27 87 -- mismatch 2
TableA Cat 128 92 -- no corresponding row
TableB Lizard 83 NULL -- no corresponding row
If [Col1, Col2] does happen to be a candidate primary key and we order by them in our final result, then we can easily see that A and B have one row different that should be the same, and each has one row that is not in the other.
In the above example, seeing the first row twice is not desirable.

We stumbled into a hot lil Latina at the convenience store we just had to talk too. She was going to the beach but got ditched by her friends so we had to jump in and take care of her. Since she had no other plans she came to hang with us back at the house. She was super impressed by the pad which started to get her all hot and bothered. She really got into the mood once she felt the Jmac dong and then it was on. Dont miss this petite Latina getting nailed hard.

Easy to use. It charges my cell phone battery so I can carry a spare around with me. Bonus that it also has a usb port.
I appreciated the prompt delivery more than anything. The charger works well, although I had to apply some rigging because of my extended life battery (a bit bigger) but it is working fine, thank you guys at OverStock.
I don't know if I recieved a defective charger but it literally took 8 hours to charge one dead battery. It was cheap for a reason I guess. I'm not even going to bother returning it when I spent under $10 for it.
I definetly recommend this product. It works great! I'm totally satisfied.
IT'S AWESOME!!! When my phone runs out of battery, I have a replacement!! (which I also bought here at a cheap price!!!) I definitely recommend this item;)

Day Camp includes awesome activities like the climbing wall, crafts, low ropes, slingshot, water activities, euro-bungee, flying squirrel, silly games and much more! Activities vary by each location. Check out some photos from last year's Day Camp:
Robin Hood could shoot an arrow so straight he could hit the same spot twice! Can you? William Tell could shoot an apple off someone's head! Don't worry, we use targets for our archers. Release your inner Olympian and see if you can get a bull's eye!
Jump higher than Superman and flip like an acrobat! You'll feel lighter than air when you're jumping on this wild trampoline. We buckle you snuggly into a harness then hydraulic arms send you shooting into the air with every bounce!
Our silly songs are so much fun soon you'll be dancing and singing along in no time. Sing at the top of your lungs during our big group meetings and on your way to all the fun Day Camp activities.
Can you conquer the Centipede! It won't be easy! The centipede is made from wooden logs connected with cables. As you climb, it twists and sways so hold on tight to make it to the top. You'll be secured in a climbing harness to help you show this arthropod who's boss!
Make something cool! We'll bring the supplies so bring your creativity! We can't wait to see what you'll make. Will it be a tye-dyed t-shirt, a painting or something else? We'll have lots of fun ideas for you.
Leap, wiggle, twirl and rock your socks off! Dance around with your friends at Day Camp!
Some squirrels can jump from trees and glide through the air. These guys are so cool, we named this activity the flying squirrel! It will send you zooming through the air! You'll strap into a harness and run in one direction while 10 of your Day Camp friends and counselors pull the rope and send you swinging into the air! You'll be soaring like an eagle, err, squirrel!
This is no ordinary swing set! Buckle into a harness, we'll hoist you way into the air, you pull the ripcord and then you'll rocket through the air with a big swing!
Touch, feel and explore! You can learn about walking sticks or make friends with a tree frog when we explore God's creation! You'll love learning all about cool new animals, mammals and insects.
Ready! Aim! SPLAT! Get ready to blast some targets with paintballs! We'll give you some pointers on how to aim your paintball marker then let you have some serious fun zapping your mark with paintballs.
Poof! Its almost magical when the giant parachute fills with air and floats above you! There are so many fun games to play with a parachute. Bring your imagination and lots of friends and you'll experience something truly unique!
Like a sailor on the high seas, climb high into the air on the rope ladder. Feel the thrill of adventure as you swing and sway while you scramble all the way to the top.
Grab a seat at the best show in town! Skits and dramas will have you laughing and learning all at the same time.
War paint, check! Battle cry, check! Bag of Skittles, OH YEAH! You're ready for the Skittle Skattle Battle! It's an outrageous fray that gets the whole camp riled up! We divide the camp into two teams, then your team tries to zigzag through enemy territory to get their skittles into the bucket without getting tagged. It's like capture the flag meets Candyland!
You'll get drenched on this super-slippery ride! Run as fast as you can to fly down the inflatable run and send yourself skidding into the splash pool. Now that's how to stay cool this summer!
Beat the heat with the refreshing thrill of our giant inflatable waterslide! You'll zip down the huge slide and get ultra soaked when you splashdown in the pool at the bottom.
