As the Georgia General Assembly begins its 40-day session today, political columnists, Republican leaders and newspaper editorials will call for limits on government. Whether those proclamations have merit or are detrimental to the community is a debate for another section of the paper.
But one of the things that government does well — especially on the local level here in Dalton and Whitfield County — is recreation. From outdoor activities for young and old to competitive leagues for our next wave of statewide elite, both the Whitfield County Recreation Department and the Dalton Parks and Recreation Department do a wonderful job of providing parents with avenues to get their children active and interactive with other kids from across the community.
The late winter and early spring bring with them one of the biggest times of the year for recreation officials with the beginning of the baseball and softball seasons. Both the WCRD and DPRD will begin registration for the leagues today.
Whitfield County will offer leagues for ages 4-14 for both boys and girls. The age control date for boys is their age before May 1, while the girls will play in leagues based on their age Jan. 1.
In baseball, Whitfield County will offer tee ball for ages 4/5 and coach pitch for ages 6-9. Older leagues will be live arm. In softball, tee ball is offered for 4-6 and coach pitch for 7/8. Older leagues will be live arm. Teams will be divided by school zones, and the number of teams is determinant on the number of participants in each division.
The cost for participating in the WCRD is $25 with a $1.75 convenience fee for those paying with a credit card. Registration can be done in person at the WCRD offices or online at playwcrd.com.
Dalton will offer leagues for ages 4-14 for baseball and 4-16 for softball. Tee ball leagues will be offered for for ages 4/5 and 6 in both softball and baseball. For ages 7/8, pitching machines will be used in baseball and softball will be played with coaches pitching. Live arm pitching in both softball and baseball will played in the older leagues, and all teams will be drafted.
There is no cost to participate in the DPRD league, and registration is online at mydprd.com or at either the James Brown or Mack Gaston Community Centers.
• Rather than looking ahead, let's look back at Friday's high school basketball clash between Dalton and Northwest Whitfield. Specifically, a shout out to the fans.
A packed parking lot left the nearest spots in the street, and the stands inside Dalton High's gymnasium were about as filled as it ever could be. Props to those who showed up — and turned up — for the girls and boys games, with Northwest's Lady Bruins taking the former and Dalton's Catamounts taking the latter.
Also, a special props to Dalton's student section. A group of six or seven boys led the Catamounts faithful in the front row. One said they were the best fans "in the entire Southeast."
The Southeast?
"Southeast United States!"
Hold on, now. Let's not go too far.
But they did well — as did Northwest's student section — in making Friday an enjoyable atmosphere.
• This week is a big one for local high school sports teams — and not just on the basketball court. Northwest's hoops teams have another local rivalry up next when the Bruins and Lady Bruins host Southeast Whitfield on Tuesday. The girls start at 6 p.m. and the boys follow. That precedes Friday when Southeast hosts Dalton for a 7 p.m. beginning to the girls game.
But there's also important stuff happening on the wrestling mat and in the swimming pool. Coahulla Creek, Dalton, Murray County, North Murray, Northwest and Southeast come together Tuesday at Dalton High's gym for the annual Conasauga Cup. The event begins at 5 p.m.
Then Coahulla Creek, Dalton, Northwest, and Southeast meet Friday at Dalton High's pool for the annual North Georgia Regionals. The meet concludes Saturday.
Also on Saturday — swapping back to wrestling — is the Murray Invitational starting at 5 p.m. The annual meet will include Coahulla Creek, Dalton, Morris Innovative, Murray County and Southeast.
• The Saints are out of the playoffs, so fellow sports writer Devin Golden won't make us suffer any longer with his obnoxiousness. Who dat? Apparently, the Seahawks.

But as it was with Charlene Li's technology fair, and with Roger Fidler's innovation lab, Knight Ridder had shown itself to be uncomfortable with failure—failure as defined by little money to show for the effort. After she left Knight Ridder, Li, who believed the company would one day be "eaten alive," eventually founded her own firm, consulting companies on adapting to disruptive technology.
In the summer of 1997, Bob Ingle had assumed the role of the news business's Jeremiah. At the Newspaper Association of America's new-media conference in San Francisco, he rose to offer his dark prediction of the fate that awaited all those unwilling to change.
"We think we're an institution—the last bastion against greed and corruption and government inefficiency," he thundered. "We are our own worst enemies. We have forgotten how to compete, and we better learn damn fast because we're on Internet time."
Newspapers were hesitating to adapt, convinced that somehow they could survive by doing things as they always had, he continued. But that meant a slow death, because soon enough the monopoly on classified advertising was going to end, and when it did the money that paid for all the journalism that made publishers and editors so proud was going to evaporate.
For all his worry about the next threat, Ingle believed he had identified his enemy, and it was not a startup, even though small firms were freer to throw their modest resources behind an innovation, if only because they had so much less to lose. The threat he saw was not the free electronic classified listings that Craig Newmark started running, part time, from his San Francisco apartment in 1995. Nor was it BackRub, a search engine being developed by two Stanford graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who in 1997 would rename it Google.
The threat was not from below, as Ingle saw it, but from above, from the biggest player in the digital game, Microsoft. In 1996, Microsoft had launched Sidewalk, a network of city guides that, Ingle told the naa gathering, would eat into markets that newspaper websites had made their own.
He was not alone in that fear. In 1995, Knight Ridder had joined with the leading news organizations in the country—The New York Times Company, Tribune Company, and The Washington Post Company among them—in an alliance against the online threat called New Century Network. By 1997, however, the group was falling apart, riven by conflicting agendas. Ingle remained convinced that Microsoft had to be stopped, or at least stalled. If New Century Network could not find a way to work together, he reasoned, Knight Ridder would go it alone.
As it happened, Kathy Yates had come up with a plan to leverage the chain's reach into a potential market for national advertising. The project would involve all of Knight Ridder's papers. Microsoft may have had the national reach. But each Knight Ridder paper, the thinking went, knew—and, in effect, owned—its town.
"Our mission was to try to create a defensive property to help protect the core of the newspapers," Yates would later say. "Real Cities was about a way to standardize what we were doing on the web."
The Real Cities network would be Knight Ridder's attempt to push back in a broad and ambitious way against the forces of disruption—forces that, as Ingle and Yates would soon discover, could turn smart and devoted people against each other.
David Demilo arrived at Knight Ridder Digital in 1997, recruited by Chris Jennewein to build something altogether alien at the company—a technological development unit that would operate not in the chaotic "daily miracle" of a newsroom, but in accordance with the strict rules of order that, the jeans-and-sneakers dress code aside, prevailed in the digital world.
Jennewein, who had helped build the early version of Mercury Center, had been dispatched by Ingle to those Knight Ridder newspapers that still needed to build websites—the first step in creating the new Real Cities network. DeMilo, who had worked on his college paper at Harvard and who had interned at the Herald when Ingle was still there—and who remembered what terrific holiday parties he threw—had been at Primedia, where he helped build booksonline.com, the firm's first e-commerce site.

Celebrating a Culinary Legend
Happy Birthday, Julia Child! Mark the occasion by throwing this simple-yet-impressive dinner party for your friends.
Why celebrate a stranger's birthday? Because Julia loved having a reason to get her friends together to eat good food, and so can you.
I came across this idea in the August issue of one of my favorite magazines, Bon Appetit, and instantly wanted to make this meal come to life in my own kitchen.
In celebration of Julia's birthday (tomorrow), Bon Appetit proposes you make a night of it – invite friends over for a "Cooking Club" in honor of the woman who made the French phrase famous (with that glorious inflection of hers), and then go see the movie Julie & Julia.
I was fortunate enough to go to an early screening of this film, and I have just three words on the subject: Go. See. Immediately.
You can see the suggested menu for the celebratory dinner party over at BonAppetit.com. All of the recipes are from Julia's famous cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and are sure to delight your guests. The meal is simple and classic (so very French, Oui?); the dessert alone with have your friends talking for weeks.
So hop to it – throw on some pearls and an apron and you'll be channeling my favorite American in Paris in no time at all.
Want to learn a little more about Julia herself? Bon Appetit's Editor-in-Chief, Barbara Fairchild, was fortunate enough to know Julia personally (insert emotion: Jealousy). Check out what she learned from the woman who brought French cooking to American kitchens here. My favorite lesson: "Perfection is overrated" – Thank You Julia!
Do you have a favorite recipe from Julia's Mastering the Art of French Cooking? Share it here!

Here is a selection of some of the goals you can achieve, or issues & challenges you could overcome, please click on a category to find out more:
You can now buy a range of my products online. For more info please click the links below.
If you would like to discover a wealth of life changing information, including:
The Government, despite its protestations, doesn't really want you to quit smoking whilst it is taking a massive 81.2 percent of the purchase price of a pack of 20 cigarettes in tax! * Never mind what the Government might say about smokers being a burden on the NHS, the simple fact is, the average smoker costs the NHS £150 a year, but pays an average of £949 in tax: almost six times more. **
Tobacco growers and producers, and the manufacturers of nicotine replacement products such as patches and gum, don't want you to quit either; their profits would slump.
This is why those with vested interests in keeping you a smoker repeatedly tell you how horribly difficult it'll be to even attempt to quit.
Despite this, perhaps you are still thinking about quitting smoking.
Whatever you think is your main motivation to quit smoking, there's only one motivation that really counts - because you want to quit. Not because of the expense. Not because of the inconvenience of the smoking ban. Not because your friends, colleagues, family or partner have nagged you into it. Not even because you know your health is suffering, although these are all very valid reasons. But because you want to.
That's the length of time it takes to make a decision; a true, wholehearted decision to quit. And when you've made that decision, quitting can be far easier and faster than you may ever have thought possible.
There's no more powerful a reason than you want to, and that's all the motivation you need to succeed, especially when you use the power of hypnosis to help you.
Please remember this: however strong your habit of smoking has been, and no matter how long you have had it, it has been created by your conscious mind. Your subconscious mind is far more powerful than either your conscious mind or your body - and it is the subconscious mind that is directly accessed during hypnosis. This allows powerful messages for your health and well-being to be absorbed directly by the part of you that is most concerned with keeping you fit, healthy, happy, and alive.
It is important to realise that when you quit smoking with me, you are not becoming an 'ex-smoker', you are returning to the state in which you were born - a non-smoker.
These are some of the reasons that smokers using hypnosis to help them quit have the highest success rate of all tried and tested methods, as shown by a large scale survey carried out by 'New Scientist ' in October 1992:
94% of 1,000 people stopped smoking with hypnotherapy for 18 months or more. (T. Von Dedenroth (1968), American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis).
Read what two previous clients have said:
I offer these bonuses because I am personally committed to your success in quitting smoking.
I ask just one thing of you in return: that when you come to see me to help you quit smoking you are also committed to becoming a healthier, wealthier, non-smoker for the rest of your life.
The total fee payable is £245.00. This includes self-hypnosis CDs of each of your hypnotherapy sessions, to further reinforce your desire to become, and remain, a non-smoker.
* Only two European countries take a larger percentage of tax than the UK; Denmark take 86.7%, and Ireland 96%.
** Figures correct at December 2008

How tall will this sasanqua grow? I read online anywhere from 8 to 10 feet to 15 feet. I also read that it is a very slow grower, true? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Camellias in general are labeled as 'slow growers' so I suppose that term applies. In ten years, it may reach that height. Since camellias can live for hundreds of years, it could eventually grow many stories tall, if given proper care. The leaves will still need some protection from the worst of the summer afternoon sun (especially in hot climates); keep the soil mulched and moist and keep the pH acidic. |

Crime, Shame, Compassion & Self-Forgiveness
Crime is a word we use to speak about one of the more negative aspects of our humanity — an action or omission that is considered to be shameful, wrong, or evil. These are attributes we all tend to want to avoid. For this particular investigation let's consider crime in a very broad way, crime at its most basic, the sorts of shameful or wrong actions or behaviors that might generate comments like, "the way she lied to him is a crime," or, "his behavior was so despicable, it's criminal."
Crime lives on the dark side. We all have parts that are dark and ugly, that cause harm. These tend to be aspects we want to hide from ourselves and certainly from the rest of world. Investigating what you judge to be the worst of you, what you judge to be criminal, can begin to reveal the shame that rides alongside those acts or omissions in life that you internally judge to be oh-so-wrong. Investigating what you believe to be your darkest, most shameful attributes — those actions, thoughts, and feelings and that you judge to be "criminal" — can surprisingly be the doorway into finding the heart of compassionate self-forgiveness.
What is it that you desperately try to hide? What causes your deepest shame? What do you feel is "criminal?" Unless you are a miracle saint, you, like the rest of us, regularly find yourself feeling guilty or shameful about some aspects of your behavior. The frustrations and challenges of life sometimes just bring out the worst in all of us.
The Rules and Breaking Them
First, it can be important to simply acknowledge that the existence of the basic concept of crime, of wrongdoing, is natural and necessary. It's a basic element of our continuing attempt to create a society with some kind of order. We need structure and rules in order to live together. When rules are broken, wrong becomes apparent.
As with many investigations in our world of duality, this one requires seeing two sides, two parts, two hands coming together. First there is the recognition of the necessity of the rules and secondly comes the understanding and compassion that flows from coming to terms with the parts of each of us that will mess up and break the rules.
No one of us can avoid committing actions or omissions that are considered to be wrong, of doing what is judged to be just plain bad. Those kinds of acts or omissions are done by us and to us. We are each imperfect. This imperfection is a natural part of our human expression. There is no escape from it as hard as we may try. This recognition of imperfection is precisely the seed needed to begin to develop internal compassion and forgiveness. And the more deeply we develop compassion and forgiveness for ourselves, the greater our capacity to apply that same kindness to others.
We naturally learn by trial and error. We learn by recognizing that when we make a mistake that it is an error. It is possible to use that understanding as data that informs, not ammunition to berate ourselves. We can even make a huge error, recognize what we have done, and then appropriately experience guilt and remorse. It's a self-correcting mechanism.

Bond ETFs: Current Yield and SEC 30-Day Yield
There are about 150 bond ETFs, most of them introduced in the past five years. They are issued by iShares, Market Vectors, PIMCO, PowerShares, State Street SPDRs, Vanguard, iPath, Guggenheim, and WisdomTree.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is sitting on applications for many other fixed-income ETFs, including a dozen or so additional funds from PIMCO (a mutual fund company famous for its bond management) and another two dozen or so from State Street SPDRs. So not only do you have many choices today, but also many more choices are coming.
The current yield is how much each share is paying as a percentage of your investment. With the discussion of each bond ETF, the current yield is included to give you a flavor of how the yields differ among the funds.
Current yields on a bond or bond fund, especially a long-term bond or bond fund, can change dramatically from week to week. So, too, can the difference in yields between short- and long-term bonds (known as the yield curve).
You can check the current yield of any bond fund, as well as the yield curve, on the sites of the ETF providers themselves or on general investing sites such as Morningstar. One great site for all sorts of information on bonds, including yields for all bond categories, is Investing in Bonds.com.
Note that several different kinds of bond yield exist. For the sake of consistency, the bond yield used here is the SEC 30-Day Yield.
Here's what this yield essentially means: If you (or the fund manager) were to hold to maturity each and every one of the bonds in a fund's portfolio, as it stood over the past 30 days, and reinvest all interest payments (that is, you plow those interest payments right back into your bond portfolio), your SEC yield is what you'd get over the course of a year.
It takes into account all fund fees and expenses. The formula was created, and the methodology is enforced, by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which is where the SEC in the formula's name comes from.
One added advantage of bond funds over individual bonds — very often overlooked by fans of individual bonds — is that you have the option of automatically reinvesting your interest payments. You can't do so with individual bonds, where your interest payments (if you don't spend the money right away) wind up going into your cash position (typically a money market fund).
Numerous investors who buy individual bonds allow their interest payments to accumulate into humongous piles of very low-interest-paying cash. These people would likely have done considerably better in bond funds.
An individual with net worth of more than $1 million (alone or jointly with a spouse) or with income of $200,000 in each of the past two years and with a reasonable expectation of the same level of income in the current year. Certain higher-risk investments are often restricted to accredited investors.
A risk-adjusted measure of performance. Alpha measures the portion of an investment's return attributable to the security's inherent values (for example, earnings growth) rather than to overall market movements.
A trading technique that takes advantage of price discrepancies when the same security, currency, or commodity is traded on different markets.
A condition that is met when an option's strike price is the same as the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is also $125, then the option is at the money.
A financial statement that shows the value of a company's assets, liabilities, and owner's equity on a given date. Total assets minus total liabilities equals owner's equity.
A situation that occurs when you have sold something you do not own. In commodities, if you enter into a contract to sell a commodity which you don't own with a promise to deliver it at a set price on a future date, then you are short that commodity. In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.
A measure of a stock's relative volatility. A stock with a higher beta can be expected to rise or fall more than the overall market, whereas a stock with a lower beta is less volatile than the overall market.
A theoretical model used to calculate the fair market value of an option based on time to expiration, price of the underlying stock, historical volatility, strike price, and carrying costs.
A contract that gives the holder the right to buy a particular asset at a specified price at any time prior to the expiration of the option.
A bond that the issuer can redeem before its maturity date. The bondholder is often paid a premium when the bond is called.
A chart that shows the daily high, low, opening, and closing prices for a security over a specified time period.
The profit from the sale of an investment at a price that's higher than the purchase price.
An interest-bearing investment issued by a bank. CDs are typically available with maturities ranging from three months to five years.
Buying and selling securities by a broker for the sole purpose of generating commissions.
A call option written by an investor who already owns the underlying shares. If you write a covered call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would just deliver the stock to the holder.
Delta represents the price change of an option for every one-point change in the price of the underlying security or futures contract.
A financial instrument whose value is based on the value of another asset or index. A stock option, for example, is a type of derivative that gives you the right, but not the obligation, to buy shares of the stock at a predetermined price. The option's value changes in relation to the price of the stock.
An electronic order-routing system used by NYSE member firms to send market and limit orders directly to the specialist at the exchange who trades that particular security.
Money paid out by a company to the owner of its stock. An income stock is a stock that has a regularly paid, higher-than-average dividend.
A market in which stock shares are issued and traded. Trading takes place through both exchanges and over-the-counter markets.
A mutual fund that is traded, like stocks, on an exchange.
Currency that a government declares to be legal tender, even though it is not backed by reserves of physical assets (such as gold). The value of fiat money derives solely from the public's confidence and faith in its ability to serve as a storage medium for purchasing power. Most of the world's money is fiat money.
The largest non-governmental regulatory organization responsible for overseeing all securities firms that do business in the United States. Responsibilities include professional training, testing and licensing of registered representatives, and arbitration and mediation.
Speculation on the value of one currency versus another, in which you buy one country's currency—just as you'd buy a stock or other security—in the hope that it will appreciate relative to the value of another currency.
Contracts where you agree to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, currency, or other asset at a specified price on a specified future date. Unlike an option, a futures contract creates an obligation, rather than just a right, to buy and sell the underlying security.
When you own a security or other asset, you are said to be long that security. When you go long (that is, buy) a security, you're bullish, or positive on the market, and you expect the price of that security to go up.
Privately held corporations created by Congress to work for the common good—generally to facilitate borrowing for homeowners, farmers, and other specific groups. Examples of GSEs include Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Farm Credit Bank.
A chart formation in a graph of an asset price that resembles three mountaintops in a row, with the middle mountaintop being taller than the other two. The pattern indicates a trend reversal, meaning that prices are expected to fall.
An investment strategy that allows you to reduce the risk of an unfavorable price change in a security or commodity. For example, a stockholder of ABC Company who is worried about declining stock prices can offset that risk by buying a put option on ABC, allowing him to sell his shares in the future at today's price.
Investments that don't trade very actively and are difficult to sell on short notice.
A theoretical value representing the volatility of the security underlying an option. Implied volatility is used by the Black-Scholes model, among others, to calculate the price of an option. Implied volatility usually rises when the markets are in downtrends, and falls when the markets are in uptrends.
A condition that is met when a call option's strike price is below the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $125 and the option's strike price is $120, then the option is in the money. For a put option, the strike price must be above the current market price of the stock for the option to be in the money.
A mutual fund designed to mirror the performance of a specific market index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500. Expenses of index funds tend to be lower than other mutual funds because the manager is not actively researching, buying, and selling securities.
A type of individual retirement savings plan. There are several types of IRAs, including, among others, Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. Traditional IRAs are tax-deferred accounts that currently allow individuals to contribute up to $5,000 per year. Contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax deductible, depending upon several factors. You don't pay taxes on the income and gains you generate in a Traditional IRA until you make withdrawals; all withdrawals will be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate. Roth IRAs are subject to different tax treatment.
The degree to which an investor or business is utilizing borrowed money. For investors, leverage is a means of multiplying the return on an investment by borrowing money to purchase additional securities or other assets. Buying securities on margin is an example. If you have $1,000 of cash and borrow another $1,000 from your brokerage, you could then purchase $2,000 of stock. If the value of the purchased stock increases by 10 percent ($200), then you have realized a 20 percent gain ($200/$1,000) on your actual cash investment.
The value of a company as measured by the total number of stock shares outstanding times the market price of each share. For example, if company ABC has 20 million shares outstanding, and each share is currently worth $100, then the market cap for ABC is $2 billion. In general, stocks are classified as large cap (over $5 billion), small cap (under $1 billion), or mid cap (anything in between).
A stock index where the effect of each stock on the index is in proportion to its market value.
A major ongoing development that is expected to have significant implications for most (if not all) facets of society over an extended period of time. The aging of the American population is an example.
The perceived strength behind a price or volume movement in a security based on the rate of acceleration of that movement.
In technical analysis, a chart line that shows the average of a security's price over a specified period of time, recalculated for each new data point. For example, a 30-day moving average will include yesterday's price and those for the previous 29 days. Tomorrow's moving average will include today's price but will drop the price for the earliest date in yesterday's average. The moving average is used to spot pricing trends by flattening out large fluctuations.
A bond issued by a local or state government or agency. Munis generally raise money for public projects such as hospitals, roads, bridges, and sewer systems as well as general governmental operations. When you buy a muni, the interest is usually exempt from federal income tax.
A fund operated by an investment company that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a group of assets in accordance with one or more stated objectives, such as income, growth, aggressive growth, and so on. A mutual fund may generally invest in stocks, bonds, options, futures, currencies, and money market securities in accordance with its stated parameters. All shareholders share equally in the income, gains, and losses generated by the fund.
A call option written by an investor who does not already own the underlying shares. If you write a naked call and the option is exercised by the holder, then you would have to buy the stock at the market price to meet your obligation. Naked calls are very risky, though potentially very rewarding.
An electronic stock exchange established by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD). The Nasdaq lists over 3,200 companies and is the largest equity securities trading market in the U.S.
A system where traders on a trading floor or in a trading pit shout and use hand signals to make transactions or trades with each other.
A derivative security that gives the holder a contractual right to buy or sell a set amount of a stock, commodity, or other asset at a specified price on or before the option's expiration date. An option is purchased for a fee, called a premium.
A person who is buying options. Call option holders have the right to buy a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at a specified strike price. Put option holders have the right to sell the specified amount at the strike price.
A condition that is met when a call option's strike price is above the prevailing price for the underlying stock. For example, if stock ABC is trading at $120 and the option's strike price is $125, then the option is out of the money. For a put option, if the strike price is below the current market price of the stock, then the option is out of the money.
A securities market where trades are conducted by phone or computer network directly between dealers rather than on a physical trading floor. All bonds trade over-the-counter, as do unlisted stocks (generally, stocks of smaller companies that do not qualify for listing on an exchange).
When you buy an option, the premium is the amount that you pay to the seller of the option.
A contract that gives the holder the right to sell a particular asset at a specified price at any time prior to the expiration of the option.
A company, usually traded publicly, that raises money from shareholders and invests that money in a portfolio of real estate properties. REITs are modeled after mutual funds, although the tax treatment of REIT income is different.
A statistical technique used to find the mathematical relationship between a dependent variable (such as a company's stock price) and one or more independent variables (such as GDP, income growth, or inflation). Regression analysis is used to predict future values of the dependent variable based on changes in the independent variables.
A price movement in the opposite direction of the previous trend. When a price has gone too far and traders deem the security overbought or oversold, the price may stop rising or falling and move in the opposite direction for a period of time.
A type of IRA in which contributions to the account are not tax-deductible, but qualified withdrawals are completely exempt from federal income tax.
A federal agency whose mission is to protect investors from fraud or other unlawful market activities.
A nonprofit corporation created by Congress in 1970 to protect investors in the United States. SIPC insures the assets in investor accounts (up to certain maximum amounts) at registered brokerage firms in the event of bankruptcy of those firms.
An instruction to a broker to sell a stock at the market price after the security has touched the specified stop price. A sell stop is always placed below the present market price and is usually designed to protect a profit or limit a loss.
The general feeling among investors as to which direction the stock market is heading. If the sentiment is that prices are going up, it is said to be bullish; if the sentiment is toward a downward movement, it is bearish. Investors base sentiment on market activity and movements in the prices of securities.
A situation that occurs when you have sold something you do not own. In commodities, if you enter into a contract to sell a commodity which you don't own with a promise to deliver it at a set price on a future date, then you are short that commodity. In stocks, you are short a stock if you have sold it and borrowed the shares from a broker to deliver to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace the borrowed shares at a future date. Being short means that you're bearish, or negative on the market, and that your goal is to make money when the price of the security or commodity that you choose to short falls in price.
A retirement plan available to small employers and self-employed individuals in which both the employer and employee can contribute to an IRA.
An annuity contract that you purchase from an insurance company with a single upfront payment. An SPIA usually starts making regular monthly payments to you immediately.
You create a straddle when you simultaneously buy a put and a call on the same stock at the same strike price and with the same expiration date.
You build a strangle when you buy a put and a call on the same stock with the same expiration date but at strike prices that are equally out of the money. A strangle costs less than a straddle because both options are out of the money, but you only make a profit if the price of the underlying stock moves dramatically.
The price at which the stock or commodity underlying an option can be purchased (call option) or sold (put option) pursuant to the terms of the contract.
An exchange of streams of payments over time according to specified terms. The most common type is an interest rate swap, in which one party agrees to pay a fixed interest rate on a notional principal amount in return for receiving an adjustable rate from another party.
One-sixteenth of a point.
A price change in a security's trades. If the next trade takes a security up in price, it's an uptick; if it takes the security down, it's a downtick. In futures and options trading, a tick is the minimum change in price, up or down.
The spread between the high and low prices of a security or commodity within a particular period.
Debt obligations of the U.S. government that are secured by its full faith and credit. Treasuries include bills (maturities of less than one year), notes (maturities of 1 to 10 years), and bonds (maturities of more than 10 years).
A statistical measure of the movement of a financial asset's price over time, gauging how fast the price of the asset changes. The price of a highly volatile security can change dramatically over a short period of time. A measure of the volatility of a security relative to the overall market is its beta.
A person who is selling options. Call option writers have the obligation to sell a stipulated quantity of the underlying asset specified in the contract at the specified strike price if the option is exercised by the holder. Put option writers have the obligation to buy the specified amount at the strike price if the option is exercised.

Quoted from Kim You are right, even a small change can make the difference. Swami doesn't know about the toxic weight gain as there are no questions that address that. I did mark the infections section. I am at my ideal weight now after almost two years of on and off dieting. It is easier to stay close to my weight on swami, but I still go up on the scale when I eat something that my stomach can't digest. And these are beneficial foods on my swami. I have to eat very lightly for a couple of days to let the offending food work it's way out.
Quoted from Chloe All I can add is that Lyme is a toxicity of a whole different matter. It's got a stealth componentplus a viral component....flare ups that affect every system of the body. I'm at the point wheremy weight doesn't fluctuate and I'm close to my ideal weight. I too will suddenly find a foodthat doesn't make my gut happy...even beneficial foods on my SWAMI. I had to eliminatedairy and eggs....in order to find a way to quiet my reactivity... But this allergic thing forme goes through cycles. I started my SWAMI eating cheese and eggs ...when suddenly, I developed an intolerance for both. Taking them out of my diet right now to see if I'm correct.... that it might be one or both of these foods, I can later add them back very carefully, one food at a time and re-check for tolerance. But for now, my body seems happy off both foods. From my experience, if I suspect a food doesn't work, I take it out of my diet until I'm feelingready to try again. Sometimes beans will bother me...sometimes I digest them perfectly. Whenyou have Lyme issues, it sort of colors your world, doesn't it...I think this is why I'm not typed as an Explorer....because at the heart and soul of who i am,if you take Lyme out of the picture, I'm not an overreactive person to foods or my environment.Of course a general SWAMI doesn't take these types of issues into consideration.As far as marking the infections section, I did too...but prior to Lyme, I would have to say thatI hadn't taken any antibiotics since I was a child. I had two bacterial infections as a child...Scarlet Fever...impetigo...that I remember...Never an ear infection or even tonsillitis.....Most of my adult illnesses were colds, viruses and bugs I caught from my children...not infections that required antibiotics. So I'm not really sure I'm fighting any bacterial infection anymore...Taking Genoma Security helps to remove the biofilms from bacteria. I feel it's working...I feel pretty healthy.
Quoted from Lin I'm wondering if all the updates have been done?
Quoted from Lin My Swami Profile shows - We are editing your intake data.
Quoted from Lin Kim, I'm seeing a traditional/holistic doctor who is treating me for chronic lyme and don't know when it started. Part of my brain is finding it hard to believe that I have chronic lyme. What symptoms did you see in your history that helped you see signs off it 10 years ago?I think my adrenal/immune was off to a poor start as a child, had hayfever from age 3, and I'm told the adrenals still need help. My white blood cells and platelets dropped below the minimum about 8 years ago and it's been a struggle getting them above the minimum but did so this year.Liver enzymes not outside the range but moved up to high end, and tend to go up and down. Lin
Quoted from JJR Should we start chanting? UP DATES UP DATES UP DATES. I wonder if they'd hear? Hehehhehe.
Quoted from Goldie I changed a lot of things.. reflecting my new health factors.. I now have 2 super fruits.. Elderberries and Guava.. I have no idea where to get elderberries.. but guava I think I can buy in the supermarket.. the rest of the fruits are now Beneficials.. including pineapple.. interesting

Articles, Reviews & Essays by Mike Johnston
A Photography Editor's Perspective
Mike Johnston was Editor-in-Chief of PHOTO Techniques magazine from 1994-2000. From 1988 to 1994 he was East Coast Editor of the late and much lamented Camera & Darkroom magazine. Consequently he has been one of the most influential editors on the American photographic magazine scene during the past decade.
Throughout the past two decades he also was the author of a broad range of technical articles and equipment reviews, as well as several considered examinations of the art and techniques of photography.
In June, 2001 I began regularly publishing on these pages a continuing series of Mike's previously published writings as well as new material which will be exclusive to this site. Whereas magazine articles are ephemeral, a web site such as The Luminous Landscape allows material of lasting value, such as Mike's writing, to have a permanent home.
Mike was my editor during his tenure at PHOTO Techniques and I also count him as my friend. I am now more than pleased to be his publisher.

20 plus years of surfing and I have done the change under the towel hundreds of times without incident.
Yesterday I guess things got away from me. Just after getting the slacks off and I am reaching for the board shorts...well, the towel drops and blows a few feet away. I calmly grab and re-wrap. A look over my shoulder to see if there are any witnesses to the full moon and sure enough, two gals are walking by with big smiles on. One of them quips " Oh yeah,we saw that!".
I shrug and answer "you should at least return the favor".
To my complete surprise she stops and peels down the bikini top to blind me with some very bright headlights.Without another word she straps them back in and walked on.
What a world we live in.

Gears of War 3 Pre-order Day to start on Sep 10 in UAE
Early buyers could win goodies, entry to UAE launch.
As the release of Gears of War 3 gets nigh-er, Microsoft are slowly putting its hype gear into place. According to the freshly sent press release, pre-orders for Epic's shooter will begin on September 10 for fans in the UAE.
And if you are wondering why one should pre-order games in this part of the world where games rarely fly of the shelves, well there are few incentives. Pre-orderers stand a chance to win exclusive Gears of War 3 merchandise "not available elsewhere else in the region", as well as an entry ticket to the UAE launch next week.
Pre-orders can be made via Carrefour Online, Sharaf DG, Plug-ins and Geekay Games, and upon doing so, buyers will receive a unique code which can be registered at the official Xbox 360 Gulf Facebook page to find out the merchandise they won.
"With fans around the globe strapping on their boots, loading up their Lancers, and gearing up for the worldwide launch of Gears of War 3 on September 20th, we couldn't be more excited about announcing the Gears of War 3 pre-order campaign available for UAE gaming fans," said Aman Sangar, business head at Microsoft Gulf.
"To secure a copy, all fans have to do is visit Xbox 360's official Facebook page to enter their unique code and secure their free gift, as well as be entered into this exciting draw. Also, those looking to get their hands on one of the Limited Editions of the game, pre-ordering is highly recommended as stocks are limited."
Gears of War 3 will be available in two editions: Standard Edition (AED 249) and Limited Edition (AED 299), the latter of which is available only through pre-order.
The Limited Edition includes:
- An Octus Award Box and Octus Service Medal – replicas of the honors bestowed on Adam Fenix, Marcus's father, for his work on the Hammer of Dawn.
- A fabric COG Flag – proud colors that once flew above the House of Sovereigns.
- The personal effects of Adam Fenix, including his "Last Will and Testament," the initial Hammer of Dawn schematic, and other Fenix family mementos.

Custom Labels
FedEx allows some customizing of the FedEx-generated label; however, the label's human readable content and barcode cannot be altered. To support your shipping application, FedEx Web Services provide two options for customizing your shipping label:
- Place the PNG 4" x 6" label graphic on your label stock. For example, you may create a packing list on an 8-1/2" x 11" form. As part of this form, you may also place the 4" x 6" PNG label graphic instead of creating a custom label on your own.
- Add a graphic or text file to the 4" x 8" or 4" x 9" thermal label. This label size provides 1-1/2 inches of space for your graphic or text.

Costa Rica's surf and yoga heaven
Pura vida means different things to different people, but it essentially embodies the Tico philosophy of enjoying life slowly with a strong community, an element of simplicity and an appreciation of one's natural surroundings. Surfing and yoga on the Nicoya Peninsula embody this philosophy, and people travel from around the world for a taste of it. At the core, both activities value physical and mental strength, respect for nature and one's body, and the community formed by the growing movement. This movement, and the money that follow it, sustains the philosophy and allows Hill, and others like him, to continue living a life of pura vida. "It's really only a few buildings in the middle of the jungle but has all the creature comforts you might want," said Hill, who plans on living in Nosara for the rest of his life. "I don't miss friends and family from the UK as, when you live somewhere as nice as this, they all tend to come and visit."
Tambor's tiny airport is the key access point to the southern region of the Nicoya Peninsula and is a 30-minute flight from Juan Santamaria International Airport in San Jose on Costa Rica's regional airline, Sansa. The airport is little more than a strip of paved blacktop and a chain-link fence with a couple of flights arriving and departing each day.
There are few paved roads on the southern side of the Nicoya Peninsula, making for a white-knuckled ride as you pass through river beds and ditches under the jungle canopy to reach your final destination. There are no (enforced) traffic rules and most locals travel by motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles – usually piling on several people, surfboards and an occasional baby.

Living In The Rose LyricsArtist: New Model ArmyAlbum: The Love of Hopeless Causes for drawing a breath there is nothing but time A thousand million years before we crash in the sun And I know we will be still here in Her arms In the thick black night we could lie in the grass And gaze at the sky and watch the satellites pass A thousand million miles, the earth She will turn Then still we will be here in Her arms And if we can float away in our dreams There's a city that waits under the sea The days to pass living in the rose The seeded land slow and old The scented air heavy and warm Whispers, touches . . .

Brown University
From BR Bullpen

Brown University has sent 38 players to the major leagues, including Fred Tenney (both of the players by that name), Lee Richmond, Bump Hadley, and Tommy Dowd. However, the pipeline dried up after World War II, with only one player coming from Brown. That player was Bill Almon, a # 1 draft pick who played 15 years in the majors.
Brown has an encyclopedia of its history called the "Encyclopedia Brunoniana". It has a page on the history of baseball at Brown: Encyclopedia Brunoniana, Baseball.

Welcome to chebella's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
I am blessed to live in an 1870 historical house in Westchester County with my husband and two Flat-Coated Retrievers. My 18 year old daughter just started college. The house is sometimes a mixed blessing, but the land is beautiful. It's only a shy acre, but the original house was built b4 the Revolution (and burned down by the "Brits" because the basement was full of munitions, and the kitchen was used for planning meetings. so cranky!) So, the soil, tended for almost 250 years is a friable, fertile, dark joy. I suspect that the former owners continue to amend the land, as they and their friends and neighbors are all buried in the churchyard next door! I live in: United States My zone is: z6 NY My favorite forum 1 is Winter Sowing. My favorite forum 2 is Growing Tomatoes. First registered on March 03, 2003
My dogs are another great pleasure in my life. We show them in conformation and obedience, and, when I an healthy enough, they are therapy dogs for our local nursing home. Doin therapy w/ the dogs is an outrageous blessing. They also work hard as my personal therapy dogs, as I am disabled.
I also love to sew and do crafts. Have recently taken up painting. I've found that hydrangeas are the easiest, as you can do them in a fuzzy impressionistic manner, and they still look realistic!
Love to cook too, which is how I am justifying the $$$ of vegetable seeds just ordered. From Pinetree, mind you, where seeds are often less than a dollar! (I think I've memorized the Pinetree catalog by now...)
GW seems a treasure trove, can't wait to explore!

[European Turmoil]
After the death of more than 26 people died this week in the ongoing uprising in Ukraine, President Viktor Yanukovych has announced a "truce" opposition leaders. The details remain unclear.
Negotiations are to start between the opposition and government according to a presidential statement.
Meanwhile here in New York City a lone demonstrator stood outside the United Nations headquarters on First Avenue and 43rd Street holding a sign asking for the UN to impose sanctions on Yanukovych's government.
"Right now they are killing people," Olga Borynetz, a Ukrainian American artist said. "The UN should impose sanctions just like it does on other countries where there is killings."
Asked why she was the lone protestor she said: "Sometimes it begins with one."
She pointed to the thousands of her compatriots back in Ukraine.

Terry - 26/12/2001
This is one of my VERY favorite dances! I don't go for boy-bands much, including the BSB, but I love the song, too. I agree, it's even better in a big crowd, and always draws a lot of attention. A good one to put some "stylin'" in, too!
Marian Diamond - 04/11/2000
Have done this dance for quite a while now and thoroughly enjoy it. Found it hard to learn - a good sign- and thought the music rubbish when I first heard it. But after listening to the words -am now a Backstreet Boys fan!! This is one of the dances I always do even when drained !!!
I hated the music when I first heard it, but when I saw how popular the Dance was I tried it and soon changed my mind. The music is great - the dance is great. Everyone loves it. Not for beginners though, as the run of triple turns, pivot turns, back turns still confuse some people. Very popular dance at socials.
Janet - 21/08/2000
Great dance and can be done by most people.
Lynn Maher - 08/08/2000
It makes a pleasant change for a dance to fit so well to the music. This dance flows really well not only for the people dancing but for any spectators as well. I was recently in a dance club in Ellsmere Port where they danced this dance to the dance mix of Larger Than Life (Backstreet Boys) the dance still fitted really well although it is quite a bit faster than the original.
Annette Houlton - 02/08/2000
After a little confussion on to which version should be danced, I found that Travy(or Tracy) Dean's version flowed easily to the music. Although Larger than life can be danced to a number of other tunes,my personal favourite is to the orginal.
Gary Hughes - 02/08/2000
Although not a dancer myself, I enjoy watching and listening to the dancers and music.Backstreet boys are one of my favourite bands and to see Larger than life danced I could not believe how well the two went together
carol Johnson - 28/07/2000
This dance fits the music very well, I may be bias as I was taught the dance by the choreographer so I know I am doing it the way it should be done. It is also looks good when a large number of people are dancing it, as it moves across the floor. I know this dance is also a success in Malta after going there on holdiday last year

Porter County Courts
Burglar sentenced to prison, addiction program
A series of three burglaries to the same home for money for heroin garnered a Chesterton man a six-year prison term.
Joseph Robert Grundell, 27, may not have to serve all that time before he gets out to serve four years of probation, though.
Porter County Superior Court Judge William Alexa ordered Grundell's placement in the Westville Therapeutic Community program. If Grundell passes the program, he can petition the court for a sentence modification.
Grundell will also have to pay $7,000 restitution for the burglaries that happened from Jan. 10-April 12, while the owners were on vacation.
He used his grandparents' key for the neighbors' home and stole a television he pawned for $150, jewelry, a coin jar and blank checks.

If you need surgery or a dental procedure and are allergic to any medications, latex, sulfites, foods, or contrast dye used in certain x-rays, tell each of the medical personnel taking care of you about the allergy. Don't take it for granted that your allergy information will be communicated between different providers. Remind every doctor, dentist and nurse who performs a procedure or administers an injection or drug that you have a medication allergy.
Because it's easier to cope with one set of symptoms at a time, if you have hay fever and need surgery on your nose, mouth or face (including cosmetic surgery), avoid scheduling the operation during the hay fever season. If that's not possible, be sure that your doctor knows about your allergy and is aware of any medications you are taking.
