STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORP as a Hold with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORP (APC) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 3.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 16.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORP is currently very high, coming in at 73.54%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -61.52% is in-line with the industry average.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, regardless of the company's weak earnings results. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry and the overall market, ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORP's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $1,729.00 million or 30.92% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

The total yardage for 18 holes is 3,985 and with a Par of 63. Salt Creek Golf Club has undergone a number of improvements over the last few years. These changes include converting four Par 3 holes into more challenging Par 4's. The 9th hole on our Blue Course is one of these holes. Now a 318-yard, Par 4, it requires a well placed tee shot due to water coming in to play on either side of the fairway along with a 60-yard long waste bunker. What's more, it follows the equally demanding 262-yard, Par 4 8th hole which features an island green. It's one of the reasons why players of all skill levels find Salt Creek Golf Club a challenging, yet rewarding course.

Many pressing global problems, such as the spread of infectious disease, financial crises, or climate change, are too large for any one country to tackle on its own. These problems affect the well-being, security, and prosperity of all countries, and dealing with them calls for the joint resources and commitment of the world community through multilateral organizations or global initiatives.
Multilateral organizations help set the rules for the governance of the world economy and in areas such as health, agriculture, human rights, peace and security, and humanitarian assistance. They influence the development agenda, set international objectives such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), help catalyze funding for humanitarian crises and for global development challenges—for HIV/AIDS, as an example.
Multilateral organizations monitor progress on the ground and play a significant role in countries where bilateral donors cannot engage individually. They provide economies of scale and of scope, making it easier for individual donors, such as Canada, to help many more countries than they could effectively help on their own. They are called 'multilateral' organizations because they are supported by many countries.
Multilateral organizations can be divided into three groups:
CIDA contributes to international development and humanitarian efforts on behalf of Canada by providing financial support to multilateral organizations and helping them shape their policies and programs throughout the world. At the same time, CIDA's multilateral partners are key to helping Canada advance its priority and crosscutting themes.
While DFAIT manages Canada`s political relationship with the United Nations and the regional development banks, and Finance Canada leads with the World Bank, CIDA manages Canada`s day-to-day relations with multilateral organizations on development issues. Health Canada, Environment Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, and others are also involved. More than one third of Canada's development assistance is channelled through multilateral organizations.
CIDA's Multilateral and Global Programs support initiatives that strengthen the ability and effectiveness of multilateral organizations to reduce poverty and to meet the MDGs in health, education, food security, equality between women and men, and environmental sustainability. A stable, effective multilateral system not only contributes to achieving these development goals, it also helps create a secure and prosperous environment for Canadians at home and abroad.

Last fall, The New Yorker published a long feature on the life and legacy of Pauline Kael, the most celebrated and distinguished arts critic in the magazine's history. The piece, by Nathan Heller, ran under a headline that shocked me when I read it: "Pauline Kael, Film Critic, Contrarian." "Contrarian" is also the brickbat regularly cast at me by bloggers and media pundits who can't understand why one film critic's reviews are different from all the others. It's a derisive, belittling term, and my surprise at seeing it applied to Kael was doubled when I noticed that several other modern critics seemed to agree that it described her perfectly.
On the occasion of two recently published books, Pauline Kael: A Life in the Dark, a biography by Brian Kellow, and The Age of Movies, a compilation of her writing edited by Sanford Schwartz from the Library of America, the au courant term "contrarian," used as a subhead, indicates a new attempt to understand Kael's reputation. Though subsequently dropped from The New Yorker piece's online version, "contrarian" was picked up and repeated as a meme in numerous pieces about Heller's article, from National Public Radio to The Huffington Post to The American Spectator. During the late 1960s-70s peak of Kael's career, her willingness to talk back to other reviewers and refute highly promoted Hollywood releases as well as art-house favorites was both captivating and controversial. She brought a wider readership to The New Yorker, increased the public's appreciation of film criticism, and changed the terms of film reviewing, even while raising the ire of those who objected to her lively passion.
All these years later, the new attacks disguised as book notices strongly suggest that professional attitudes toward criticism have changed drastically. Since the advent of the Internet and the rise of review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes, the illusion of consensus opinion now dominates the culture's perception of criticism. Individual critics' voices matter less than the roar of the crowd, which judges films as "fresh" or "rotten" and drowns out anyone who begs to differ. Outlying critics are isolated and deprecated, their deviations from the consensus seen as proof of their eccentricity or ineptitude. As an icon of mainstream critical influence, and as someone who had little use for group hugs, Kael's independent stance presents a real challenge to the current critical order.
Addressing this change is more urgent than simply championing Kael; it's a matter of defending the endangered voice of independent criticism that Kael represented so well. Now is a good time to redefine "contrarian" as autonomous, uncoerced journalism. Kael's writing—and the new, ongoing controversy she engenders—makes this absolutely necessary.
Among journalists who once aspired to being film critics—in the years before the Internet made the job easy and unspecialized—Pauline Kael was admired for the unprecedented latitude she was granted during her 23 years at The New Yorker. (She got away with flouting New Yorker tradition as "that horrible debonair style which was once the gentleman-critic's specialty. They were so superior to the subject that they never dealt with it.") Her writing was a beacon—eloquent, witty, learned, but above all personal, identifiably the perspective of someone who felt deeply about the subject at hand, but who thought about it deeply, too. Kael was inspiring to read and to emulate because she made movie reviewing more than a frivolous species of journalism. She gave it vitality in ways that made arts journalism seem to matter.
The renown that resulted saw Kael make network television talk-show appearances just like such "serious" writers as Norman Mailer, George Plimpton, and Gore Vidal—at the time an unfamiliar honor for a mere film critic. She enjoyed additional prominence when her lengthy panegyrics on Last Tango in Paris, The Long Goodbye, Thieves Like Us, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers appeared as full-length reprints in advertisements in The New York Times. Aspiring critics especially noticed her editorial autonomy. Kael's weekly 2,000-to-3,000-word reviews gave her thoughts breathing room, and seemed to indicate that film criticism itself had attained unusual distinction.
Kael elevated reviewing from the low function of "consumer advice," a designation that inherently limited the form's literary potential, and one that automatically implied film was nothing more than commercial product. Today, the profession's stature has changed. Box-office stats are foregrounded in the media. Filmgoers increasingly gauge a movie's worth based on its aggregate rating, as individual critics grow less and less important. Indeed, many newspapers no longer employ their own critics, instead running syndicated material or capsule synopses. Reviews have shrunk, and so has Kael's reputation. Her 13 books (published collections and compilations) have been out of print until recently. The biography and new compendium suggest a recovery, yet negative press reactions seem to take it all back.

Launched during the 10th anniversary of the United Nations' International Year of the Volunteer (IYV+10), the Global Volunteer Measurement Project is a collaboration between international volunteer promotion agencies and the authors of the ILO Manual on the Measurement of Volunteer Work, which aims to disseminate this Manual and promote its implementation around the world.
The Story
Volunteering is a crucial renewable resource for social and environmental problem-solving the world over, but its effective management requires better information and an enabling policy environment. Existing data compiled by the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies (CCSS) through their Comparative Nonprofit Sector (CNP) and UN Nonprofit Handbook projects give a tantalizing taste of the truly enormous impact that volunteers can and do have. For instance, based on the 37 countries studied, it is estimated that approximately 140 million people engage in volunteer work in a typical year, which taken together, would comprise the eighth largest country in the world. Put another way, these volunteers represent the equivalent of 20.8 million full-time equivalent jobs (including 44 percent of the nonprofit workforce), and contribute US$400 million to the global economy.
This information resulted from efforts by CCSS to demonstrate the importance of volunteering to the nonprofit sector in countries around the world, which it has been researching for over 25 years. After years of work to gather the data on a country-by-country basis, CCSS realized that a more systematic way was needed to ensure that comparable data is gathered regularly. To that end, in 2003, CCSS joined with the United Nations Statistics Division to develop the UN Handbook on Nonprofit Institutions in the System of National Accounts. This Handbook provides the guidance and tools needed to allow national statistical agencies to produce and publish regular data on the nonprofit sector, they way they do for most other sectors of the economy. As a crucial part of that, it calls on governments to include data on the amount of volunteering that takes place in the nonprofit sector.
Despite this success, it soon became clear that this would be a difficult recommendation for countries to follow because, in all but a handful of countries, no reliable data exist to gauge the extent and character of volunteering. What data do exist have been assembled through one-time surveys utilizing diverse definitions and approaches to data-gathering, meaning that the findings are inconsistent and no systematic comparisons are possible either across countries or over time. As a result, volunteering remains under-valued and its potentials under-realized. This realization is what drove the development of the ILO Manual, which has been specifically designed to measure the amount and character of volunteering through regular labor force or other household surveys, making it both feasible and affordable to implement regularly. Adoption and implementation of this new Manual will:
• Boost the visibility and credibility of volunteering.
• Improve the management of volunteering.
• Assess effectiveness of volunteer promotion agencies.
• Document the enormous impact of volunteer effort.
• Promote a more enabling policy environment for volunteering.
• Create a lasting legacy for IYV+10.
The ILO Manual offers the first official, permanent system for the collection of cross-nationally comparable data on volunteering. Issued by the International Labour Organization (ILO), it provides national statistical agencies with a common definition and methodology for measuring the amount and character of volunteering through regular labour force or other household surveys. It has been developed with the help of an international Technical Experts Group to be efficient, feasible, and cost-effective to implement in the widest possible range of countries, and to generate the most comprehensive, comparable, reliable data possible.
Improving the measurement of volunteering, and use of the ILO Manual to do so, has the support of numerous governing bodies and policy makers, including the Council of the European Union, the European Commission unit in charge of the European Year of Volunteering, the European Parliamentary Volunteering Interest Group, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions, the 18th International Conference of Labour Statisticians, and the Statistics Department of the International Labour Organization.
Statistics offices of Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, South Africa, Norway, Poland, Italy, and Hungary have already agreed to implement it. However, implementation in other countries is not guaranteed; this is why the GVMP exists.
The Project (GVMP)
The Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies (CCSS), the International Association of Volunteer Effort, (IAVE) and Global Service Leaders (GSL), have joined forces to bring all interested parties together to push for implementation of this Manual. We must take advantage of the existing momentum and interest in the vital role that volunteers and volunteering play arising from the IYV+10 to put into place a permanent system that will keep those issues in the forefront of policy circles and public debates long past the end of 2011. We invite you to explore this site or to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to learn how you can help to build that momentum and see the work of volunteers and those who support them fully recognized by statistical agencies, policy makers, and the public.

The Mercedes duo of Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton claimed a commanding one-two on the grid for tomorrows Formula 1 Gran Premio de España 2013 after a dramatic Q3 qualifying session in Barcelona on Saturday.
The Silver Arrows pairing showed speed throughout qualifying as Hamilton had set the pace in Q1 from Rosberg. In 14th and 15th places the McLarens were perilously close to missing the Q2 cut, but the first man to do that was Valtteri Bottas, with 1m 23.260s for Williams. Team mate and last years winner Pastor Maldonado had no fairy story this time as he was 18th on 1m 23.318s.
Behind them, Giedo van der Garde snatched back the honours for Caterham at the last moment with 1m 24.661s, just after Jules Bianchi (1m 24.713s) and Max Chilton (1m 24.996s) had put Marussia ahead. Charles Pic was the final runner in the second Caterham, on 1m 25.070s.
As Hamilton again set the pace in Q2, the session brought embarrassment for his former team mate Jenson Button. The McLaren man wound up only 14th on 1m 22.355s, moments after team mate Sergio Perez had brought joy to the team with an excellent lap of 1m 21.790s which put him seventh.
The Toro Rossos just missed the Q3 cut, with Daniel Ricciardo finally acing Jean-Eric Vergne by the smallest margin, 1m 22.127s to 1m 22.166s. Adrian Sutil also missed out, after lapping his Force India in 1m 22.346s for 13th ahead of Button.
Behind the Englishman, Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez lined up their Saubers 15th and 16th on 1m 22.389s and 1m 22.793s respectively. Gutierrez was subsequently found guilty of impeding Lotuss Kimi Raikkonen and was dropped to 19th on the grid by the Spanish stewards.
Ferrari's Felipe Massa was also under investigation having allegedly impeded Red Bull's Mark Webber during Q2. He was also handed a three-place penalty and eventually dropped to ninth on the grid from sixth.
Q3 had seen Rosberg set the pace on his first run with 1m 20.824s. He, the two Ferrari drivers, and the two Lotus drivers were the only ones to do two runs.
On his only run, Sebastian Vettel moved into P2 with 1m 21.054s, before Rosberg improved his time with 1m 20.718s and then Hamiltons sole run saw him post 1m 20.972s to wrap up the front row in front of the onlooking Daimler boss Dr Zetsche.
Kimi Raikkonen held on to fourth for Lotus with 1m 21.177s, leaving the third row to the Ferraris. Local hero Fernando Alonso was fifth on 1m 21.218s, with Massa right on his tail with 1m 21.219s. Behind them, Romain Grosjean lost time with a big slide and was thus left seventh on 1m 21.308s ahead of Webbers Red Bull on 1m 21.570s.
Perez was ninth for McLaren on 1m 22.069s as Paul di Resta secured 10th for Force India on 1m 22.233s.

Quick Takes On Sting, Allman Brothers Band, Def Leppard, And Tom Petty
Monday, March 24, 2014
Sting has tapped touring partner Paul Simon, along with James Taylor, and Dionne Warwick to headline the 25th Anniversary Rainforest Fund Benefit Concert on April 17th at Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium, Perelman Stage. Among the other performers playing on the bill include Renee Fleming, Chris Botti, and Ivy Levan, with additional artists still to be announced. (Vintage Vinyl News)
An Allman Brothers Band show without an Allman Brother??? A case of bronchitis forced Gregg Allman to sit out of Friday and Saturday night's shows (March 21st and 22nd) as part of the band's annual "March Madness" run at New York City's Beacon Theater. On Saturday, the band posted a message on its Facebook page stating: "No guarantees but Gregg is improving and hopes to return to the stage for the last four Beacon shows." The Allmans are next set to play on Tuesday (March 25th). (Rolling Stone)
Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott took a swipe at the powers that be at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, who have passed the band over for induction for the 10th year in a row. Elliott said, "I see, comically trying to make a movie in your mind, this board room of faceless tuxedo-wearing morons. Mr. Roboto times six or whatever . . . Is it going to pay my mortgage off? Is it going to put my kid through schools? Am I going to sleep better at night?. . . I don't give a flying rat's ass about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. . . . Now, truth be known, the other four guys would say, 'We've gotta do it.' And I go 'Why? The Sex Pistols told them to shove it.' They say, 'We should, it's going to be good for our. . . " I couldn't care less. I don't see where we're going to sell one ticket more, sell one more record. The cool factor? There's nothing cool about being inducted into something that I don't think is very cool." (Hitfix.com)
The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers will honor Tom Petty with the prestigious ASCAP Founders Award on April 23rd. The invite-only gala will be held in Los Angeles at the Loews Hollywood Hotel, and will also salute "the songwriters and publishers of ASCAP's most performed pop songs of 2013."

USF Salutes Sabre for Fighting Trafficking
Suppliers of tourism services adopting the code commit themselves to implement six criteria to help fight commercial sexual exploitation of children, and raise awareness about the crime. |
Sabre, the global travel technology company, recently launched its "Passport to Freedom" initiative to fight child sex trafficking and exploitation. The company also joined the "Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism." This is a big deal: Sabre is the first such company to join "The Code."
Sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism is a serious problem, with profound negative impact on a child's physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, moral, and social development. Preventing this crime requires partners in both the public and private sectors. The Code, a joint venture of ECPAT International and the tourism private sector, provides a way for businesses in the travel and tourism industry to combat child sexual exploitation. UNICEF serves as an advisory partner for The Code.
Sam Gilliland, Sabre chairman and CEO, said, "Human trafficking impacts countries around the world, including every major city in the United States. Passport to
Freedom is part of our effort to rally the travel and
tourism industry to not only end these crimes, but to also help those who are affected rebuild their lives."
As part of Sabre's commitment to fight the exploitation
of children, "Passport to Freedom" includes a scholarship
and employment program for trafficking survivors,
training on trafficking issues for Sabre's 10,000 global employees, education for travelers so that they can help identify and report potential trafficking incidents, and partnerships with nonprofit, travel, and government entities supporting the fight against human trafficking.
Our hats are off to Sabre for its corporate responsibility and leadership in the fight against child trafficking and exploitation!
2 Comments
Thank you, Sabre!
This is wonderful news! We need more companies to step up to help protect children around the world. Thank you for sharing, Mark!

Monarch softball loses heartbreaker

Thomas More Prep-Marian softball coach Melissa Schoepf is hoping she found the motivation the Monarchs need to win a game or two at regionals next week. Unfortunately, it took a pair of losses on Tuesday -- one rather heartbreaking -- to find the catalyst they need to hopefully push things into another gear.
After being rolled by Hoisington/Claflin 15-0 (four innings) in the first round of the MCAA Tournament at TMP Field, TMP lost an intense 14-13, eight-inning contest to Ellinwood in the third-place game.
"They are down about this. They wanted that. And I told them not to forget that feeling," Schoepf said about their loss against Ellinwood.
"I said, 'After midnight, it's a new day. I don't want you to forget what just happened here and I don't want you to dwell on it. We got to find a way to move forward, we got to find a way to use that as a fuel. That's got to be what motivates us to get through to next week.' "
TMP, the tournament's No. 4 seed, ran into a buzz saw against top seed Hoisington (12-4) in the semifinals. Behind the arm of sophomore pitcher Karisa Schremmer, the Cardinals completely shutdown the Monarchs in the run-rule victory.
Schremmer pitched all four innings and no-hit TMP, which only had 12 batters make an appearance at the plate, half of which ended up striking out. The Cardinals offense was merciless on the other side as well, scoring five runs in the first inning, two in the second, five in the third and three in the fourth.
"Against Hoisington, we knew they were bringing in a good pitcher. We saw her a little bit this summer throwing and knew she could throw some speed," Schoepf said. "We told the girls when we were done, we said, 'That game's over. We put that behind us and now we focus on a different team. Now we are back to Ellinwood.' ... So I was really pleased to see them come out aggressive and ready to play."
TMP lost a pair of games at Ellinwood on April 24, 6-1 and 9-4. Round 3 proved to be a little more dramatic.
After being no-hit against Hoisington, the Monarchs opened the game against Ellinwood with a single from freshman Alison Helget. A batter after Helget was tagged out at home on a fielder's choice, freshman Katelyn Zimmerman's RBI single would give TMP a 1-0 lead after the top half of the inning -- the Monarchs were designated the road team in each contest -- the beginning of a long game for both defenses.
TMP led 6-3 after three innings, but had everything slowly fall apart as the Eagles scored two runs each in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to lead 9-6 entering the seventh.
After three consecutive scoreless innings, TMP erupted in the seventh with seven runs, aided by four walks and one batter being hit by a pitch. By the time the damage was done, TMP had taken a 13-9 lead over Ellinwood entering the bottom half of the seventh.
"We were able to pull it out there in the seventh inning and get up by four runs. Exactly what we wanted to do," Schoepf said. "They went up there, relaxed and built a pretty good lead up there with four. Just couldn't hold on to that."
Ellinwood turned the tables on TMP in the bottom half of the seventh, capitalizing on a handful of Monarch fielding errors to score four runs and send the game into an eighth inning.
TMP would eventually load the bases with two outs in the eighth. A wild pitch from Ellinwood's Allison Panning looked like it would lead to an easy Monarch run, but the catcher found the ball in time to turn a routine score into a disastrous display of base running, with TMP's Laurel Hageman getting trapped between third and home and being tagged out to end the inning.
Ellinwood wasted no time in the bottom of the eighth, a big swing from junior Tawny Arndt to center field scoring senior Kelsea Ward from second base to end the game.
"We got to find a way to put it behind us. When we were out there you could tell they're down," Schoepf said. "They got tense right there in the seventh inning when they went on defense. Made a few errors, a few breakdowns right there to let them back in and bring them back into the game. We got to work on that and we got to find a way to shut people down when we get that lead."
Helget pitched a complete game in each outing for TMP, getting the loss both times.
Second-seeded Larned (12-6), which beat three-seed Ellinwood 10-7 in the semifinals, defeated Hoisington 4-1 in the MCAA championship game.
TMP finished the regular season 7-13 and will next head to Ellsworth on Monday for regional play. The Monarch's opponent was set to be announced this morning.

Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Anthony V. Mangione, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Office of Investigations, and Donald L. Shinnamon, Sr., Chief, Port St. Lucie Police Department, announced that defendant James T. Byrne, 70, of Port St. Lucie, Fla., was sentenced today by U.S. District Court Judge Michael Moore to 360 months imprisonment, to be followed by lifetime of supervised release as a sex offender. This was the maximum possible sentence that the court could impose. On January 25, 2010, Byrne pled guilty to a one count indictment charging him with production of child pornography.
This investigation began on October 6, 2009, when the Port St. Lucie Police Department received information that Byrne had allegedly produced child pornography at his home with a 12-year-old female victim. On October 29, 2009, ICE special agents in Ft. Pierce received a request for assistance from the Port St. Lucie Police Department and joined the investigation.
Subsequent investigation by ICE and the Port St. Lucie Police Department confirmed that from July 2009 through September 2009, the defendant engaged in sexual activity with a mentally handicapped 12-year-old child victim. According to documents filed with the court, the defendant took photographs of the sexual activity and then transferred the images of the sexual activity to his computer. ICE special agents conducted a forensic examination of the defendant's computer, digital cameras, and camera memory cards and recovered more than 300 images of child pornography involving the minor child.
Mr. Ferrer commended the investigative efforts of the ICE's Office of Investigations in Ft. Pierce and the Port St. Lucie Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer C. Millien.

Unusual Lunar Reflection
Name: Jesse Status: student Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
This concerns a bizarre optical phenomenon I witnessed when I was a teenager, about ten years ago. It was about midnight, and the moon was setting over Lake Superior; the water was fairly calm and the sky was clear. The moon's reflection on the waves made the familiar upside-down "V" shape, but the V didn't point at the moon, but 10-15 degrees to the right! It looked like this (hope the ASCII diagram works): C _____________________________ /\ / \ / \ I've never heard of *anything* like this, and I think I have a pretty decent layman's understanding of optics. I could dismiss it as a dream or false memory, but my dad remembers it too. How could this be possible?
Thanks for the question. I think the effect you described was the result of waves on the surface of the lake, moving either diagonally towards you and to the left, or away from you and to the right.
To explain why, let me create some names. For each point on the surface of the water, imagine a line pointing perpendicular to the surface, called the normal. By and large, the normal will point upwards, but because of the waves, it will also point a little to one side or another. The crucial part is that, for waves as I described above, when the normal points slightly towards you, it must also point slightly towards the left. (To verify this, try making some imitation "waves" on a duvet cover.) From each point of the surface, also draw a line to the moon (moonline) and to your eyes (eyeline). Then the rules of optics tell us that you will see a reflection of the moon at all places on the surface that
(1) you can see
(2) the moon can "see"
(3) the normal lies in the plane defined by the moonline and eyeline, and bisects the angle between them
For a reflection to happen very far out on the lake, the eyeline is closer to horizontal than the moonline, so condition (3) requires the normal to point towards you a little. But, because of the way the waves are arranged, this means that it will also point a little to the left. So, the place where the reflection happens has to be a little to the right. The farther out the reflection happens, the farther to the right is has to be. This explains the pattern you saw.

National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy drafts and signs National Security Action Memorandum 328 on behalf of President Lyndon B. Johnson. This document came out of National Security Council meetings that were held on April 1 and April 2. The memorandum authorized U.S. personnel to take the offensive in South Vietnam to secure "enclaves" and to support South Vietnamese operations. The so-called "enclave strategy" called for the U.S. forces to control the densely-populated coastal areas while the South Vietnamese forces moved inland to fight the communists. This memorandum represented a major mission change for the American soldiers and Marines who had recently arrived in Vietnam. American forces had been limited to strictly defensive operations around the U.S. air bases, but the memorandum authorized them to go on the offensive to secure large areas of terrain, an escalation of U.S. involvement in the war.

NEW MOUSE CITYThe strange behavior of Rodent's Gazette editor Geronimo Stilton has been the talk of the town this week. He's been neglecting his work, failing to get upset when his employees goof off, and going around the office throwing money away. "And that's not like Mr. Stilton at all," said his underpaid secretary Mousella McMouser.
Geronimo has been described recently by some of his closest associates as "dreamy," "absent-minded," and "in a daze." When he himself was asked to comment on the talk circulating around the office, he replied, "Office? What office?"
Well, this article contains the true explanation of what has turned a sophisticated newspapermouse into a furry, daydreaming blob. Here, for the first time, is the exclusive inside story. Hold onto your ears, rodents. The truth is, Geronimo Stilton is IN LOVE!
The object of Geronimo's affection is young countess Stephanie von Sugarfur. When she was reached by telephone at the Grand Cheddar Hotel, and asked what she had done to attract the attentions of the famous Geronimo Stilton, she replied, "Geroni-who?"
It appears that Geronimo has tried to win Countess Stephanie's heart with flowers, chocolates, and other gifts, but she still doesn't know that he exists. His new plan is to get her to notice him by doing something extraordinary that no mouse has ever done before, but he's not exactly sure what it will be.
Meanwhile his sister, the fearless Thea Stilton, says that she and her brother are going on an expedition to find the legendary Valley of the Cheesettes. If they succeed, that would be an extraordinary feat indeed.

Fundamental dispositions and traits of humans. Theories about the nature of humankind form a part of every culture. In the West, debate has traditionally centred on whether humans are selfish and competitive (see Thomas Hobbes; John Locke) or social and altruistic (Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim). Recent research in genetics, evolutionary biology, and cultural anthropology suggests that humans may be both, and that there is a complex interaction between genetically inherited factors (nature) and developmental and social factors (nurture). Basic drives shared with other primates include food, sex, security, play, and social status. Gender differences include greater investment in reproduction and child-rearing among females, hence less risk-taking; and concomitantly less investment and greater risk-taking among males.

Amanda's behavior is getting increasingly more disturbing and a new report claims that Amanda walks up and down the halls of her NYC apartment, talking to herself! Read on for what the neighbors think!
Amanda Bynes' behavior isn't funny anymore, it's getting scary. They 27-year-old is reportedly so paranoid that she's being followed, that she thinks the smoke alarms in her apartment are tracking devices.
Amanda Bynes Hearing Voices & Talking To Herself?
Amanda is reportedly wandering the halls of her NYC apartment building at "all hours of the night." The most alarming part of the report from RadarOnline.com is that she is talking to herself in a "non-sensical" language and she's hearing voices.
It's reportedly scaring the residents in the building who have kids.
"Amanda is also extremely paranoid and thinks there are tracking devices in the smoke alarms in the apartment," a source says. "She looks completely disheveled."
Another source says that her behavior is "disturbing" but her parents can't do anything to help her.
"There are no legal options available to them to help rescue their daughter at this time."
Amanda Bynes Posts Strange Animal Pics On Twitter
We told you that Amanda went on a Twitter rampage and began tweeting nonstop. Several pics she posted were her photo shopped as various animals. There's a pic of her as a camel, and another as a cat.
This all just seems very sad and although Amanda says she doesn't have a problem, fans are worried. Amanda was allegedly kicked out of the W in NYC for walking around naked, and she also walked out on her hair bill at NYC's Blow hair salon.

Um but I thought she was kicked out of her apartment for smoking weed so obviously that was lies. I don't believe this story or most of the others about her. They sound very fishy to me as all the stories are from 'sources' and if she was acting so strange am sure someone would of got it on camera by now and put it online. Am not denying this woman has problems and shes perfect but I do not believe the stories what the magazines and papers are writing about her. A few weird tweets doesn't determin someones mental health and its obvious she was just having a luagh with her putting her head on animals. Leave her alone.

Many ppl suggest this is some type of stunt but I honestly do not think it is any fabrication or acting exposé! I think she really has problems and needs help, but she must "be a danger to others or self" to be committed for treatment involuntarily — or she has to VOLUNTARILY go, which I don't see happening. My heart breaks for her family and real friends.

The Veggie Table: 3 Ways to Dig Into Quinoa
by Janel Ovrut Funk in The Veggie Table, August 17, 2013Cooking quinoa (which is considered a whole grain even though it's actually a seed) is as simple as cooking brown rice, using two parts water to one part quinoa. An important step in the cooking process is to rinse the dry quinoa before cooking to help remove the coating of bitter-tasting saponins. Once cooked, quinoa can be used in a variety of recipes and interchanged with any whole grain. And because quinoa is naturally gluten-free, it is a great pasta substitute for those who cannot tolerate wheat.
There are three kinds of quinoa you'll find at your grocery store: red, black and white, and all have a slightly nutty flavor and a texture much like couscous. Here are three of my favorite ways to enjoy quinoa.
Quinoa burgers: The protein punch you get from quinoa makes it a great ingredient to use when making veggie burgers. Cooked quinoa holds ingredients together well when forming burger patties so there is no need to use egg as a binder if trying to keep them vegan. These Spicy Sweet Potato Black Bean Burgers or my simple Whole-Foods-inspired Quinoa Sweet Potato Patties can be enjoyed with or without a burger bun.
Quinoa salads and side dishes: Warm weather BBQs and picnics call for cold grain salads since they're easy to transport. Hot quinoa side dishes make great leftovers to enjoy throughout the week. Quinoa can easily replace rice, couscous, or any grain in a recipe. This Mexican-style Quinoa Salad with Corn and Black Beans is best enjoyed cold and is a good way to enjoy the last of the summer corn. (Or try Giada's Herbed Quinoa, above; for a vegetarian version, use vegetable stock.)
Baked goods: Quinoa flour, which is a great gluten-free flour alternative, can replace wheat flour in cake and cookie recipes. Try quinoa banana bread, scones, muffins and crepes. Quinoa flour can also be mixed with water to make pancake batter consistency. Add in a pinch of sea salt and fresh or dried herbs to make a savory quinoa pancake in a skillet. I've enjoyed this quinoa "pancake" as a replacement for pita bread when paired with soup or a salad, and as a bread alternative in an open faced sandwich.
TELL US: What's your favorite way to enjoy quinoa?

About British Record Society Probate Collection
Surrey Wills, Pre-1649 British Record Society Volume 99 Published 1990 About the index
This volume is an union index of all of the surviving pre 1649 probate records including those Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) wills relating to the ancient county of Surrey.
The ancient county of Surrey extended into what is now south London, as far east as Rotherhithe. For more detail see map of Surrey Parishes (.pdf). The Archdeaconry of Surrey consisted of that part of Surrey within the diocese of Winchester and the parish of Bentley in Hampshire, which was originally a chapelry of Farnham. Thirteen parishes in the county formed part of the exempt Deanery of Croydon, a peculiar of the Archbishop of Canterbury. For more detail see Archdeaconry of Surrey map. For more information see Hierarchy of Surrey Church Courts. Locating the original documents
Where are the originals held?
The majority of the original wills are no longer at the Guildhall Library, but are now held at The London Metropolitan Archives (LMA) - www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/lma. To purchase a copy of the will you need to contact LMA for an order form. Upon completing the form you will need to provide all the information given in this index including the source of the information i.e. BRS and the specific church court. They will then advise you of the cost and payment methods etc. The British Library's main holding of Surrey probate material is a stray will register from the Archdeaconry Court of Surrey from the early 1540's. Abstracts have been made (and indexed) of all the wills appearing in this register, and copies supplied to various libraries, including the British Library itself, the Surrey History Centre and London Metropolitan Archives. For more details about contacting or visiting the British Library - www.bl.uk Hampshire Record Office. Winchester - www3.hants.gov.uk/archives.htm - has two holdings of Surrey testamentary material. Firstly, it holds the registers of the bishop of Winchester, the main bulk of which are from the medieval registers. Secondly, the bishop proved wills of Surrey testators in the Consistory Court of Winchester at this time. This court was superior to the Archdeaconry Court of Surrey, so tends to have the wills of testators of a standing between those proved in the Archdeaconry Court, and those proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC). To obtain a full copy of a will, download a standard copy order form from - www3.hants.gov.uk/archives/copies-hals.htm. Complete the form (including all references etc) and return along with the fee (a standard charge applies details available on the website) to Hampshire Record Office. Lambeth Palace Library - www.lambethpalacelibrary.org holds two series of records of Surrey testamentary material. Firstly, many wills, probates and administrations were entered, presumably for safe-keeping, in the registers of the archbishops of Canterbury. While this continued for most of our period, the bulk of such entries date from the medieval period, and are not duplicated in the surviving records of any other court. Additionally there are 481 early wills in a larger series, as a result of the archbishop of Canterbury's direct peculiar jurisdiction over, inter ilia, the Deanery of Croydon. This peculiar comprised the following parishes; Barnes; Burstow; Charlwood; Cheam; Croydon; East Horsley; Merstham; Mortlake; Newington; Putney; Wimbledon To obtain a full copy of a will, download an order form from - www.lambethpalacelibrary.org/content/photocopying. Complete the form (including all references etc) and return to Lambeth Palace Library who will advise you of the full cost and payment methods. The National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office) The vast majority of the Surrey wills in the National Archives are those proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC), which exercised superior jurisdiction over the whole country. Wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) can be downloaded (pay per view) via the National Archives online records nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/wills.htm. The Cathedral Archives and Library, Canterbury holds wills proved in the Court of the Prior (later Dean) and Chapter of Christ Church, Canterbury - canterbury-cathedral.org/history.html. This court had jurisdiction during archiepiscopal vacancies in place of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Most of the wills date from the periods 1500-1501 and 1503, and are mainly duplicated in the records of the PPC. They are referenced here in the form; [CCAL: 1500 f ,201] To obtain a copy of a will please contact Cathedral Archives and Library, Canterbury by email, letter, fax or telephone quoting full details and will references and they will provide you with a quote for the costs etc. Surrey History Centre (formerly Surrey Record Office & Guildford Muniment Room) www.surreycc.gov.uk/surreyhistoryservice, London Borough of Lambeth Archives Department www.lambeth.gov.uk/Services/LeisureCulture/LocalHistory/Archives.htm, Southwark Local Studies Library www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200161/local_history_library. There are no archives of wills as such in these last three record offices. There are, however, a number of stray wills in collections of deeds and other muniments. These wills are presumed copies kept by executors or they may never have gone to probate. Alternatively, they may have been lost from the regular series, which all have gaps and missing items. For copies of wills held by Surrey History Centre, London Borough of Lambeth Archives Department or Southwark Local Studies Library please contact the appropriate archives by email, letter, fax or telephone quoting full details and will references and they will provide you with a quote for the costs and payment details. Alternatively you can visit any of the above listed record repositories personally, details of opening hours etc can be found on their various websites. FamilySearch www.familysearch.org/#form=catalog has filmed the majority of these probate documents, a microfilm copy of which can be ordered and viewed via your local FamilySearch Family History Center. www.familysearch.org/eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp What information from the document do I need to locate the original?
Understanding the index
Which court or courts are included?
As a union index, it covers all known probate collections / courts for the ancient county of Surrey. Which diocese is involved? Surrey was mainly in the Diocese of Winchester. What does the index include? All names and places appearing in the will plus incidental information such as occupation where found in the original documents are included in the index. Names are arranged alphabetically. This means some name variants may not appear clustered together. Names in the index are according to the spelling used in the documents, usually based on the signaturee of the testator. Dates of wills are given in 'Old Style' or Julian Calendar. The folio number identifies the group of pages, anywhere from 2 to 16, within which the will's first page appears. Notes and Abbreviations used in the index
