TheStreet Ratings Top 10 Rating Changes
Rating Change #6
Kroger Co (KR - Get Report) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, generally poor debt management and poor profit margins.
Highlights from the ratings report include:
- KR's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 5.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 7.6%. 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.
- 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. We feel that the combination of its price rise over the last year and its current price-to-earnings ratio relative to its industry tend to reduce its upside potential.
- KROGER CO has exprienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has reported a trend of declining earnings per share over the past year. However, the consensus estimate suggests that this trend should reverse in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, KROGER CO reported lower earnings of $0.95 versus $1.75 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.25 versus $0.95).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Food & Staples Retailing industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 210.4% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $278.00 million to -$307.00 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.06 and currently higher than the industry average, implying that there is very poor management of debt levels within the company. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.21, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.
The Kroger Co., together with its subsidiaries, operates as a retailer in the United States. The company also manufactures and processes food for sale in its supermarkets. It operates supermarkets in various formats. It operates supermarkets in various formats. The company has a P/E ratio of 12.3, below the average retail industry P/E ratio of 12.6 and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Kroger has a market cap of $13.99 billion and is part of the services sector and retail industry. Shares are up 0.9% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday.

(Via the USA, the legendary & iconic)
We wanted something 'Atomic' & for the first time ever in Sydney's domain, the world's most successful female fronted pop group with over 40 million album sales & more international hits than most, including the aforementioned Atomic, Rapture, The Tide is High, Call Me, Heart Of Glass, Hanging on the Telephone, Dreaming (and the list goes on & on) we grant honorary Homebake visa's to the iconic BLONDIE, fronted by the one and only, enigmatic and charismatic, Deborah Harry.
Forming initially as a new wave/post punk band in New York City, Blondie went on to become one of the worlds most famous international bands scoring charting hits through to this day. With a history spanning post punk, new wave, pop, disco, rock and even being one of the first bands to incorporate rap, BLONDIE continue to be one of the most celebrated & remixed acts in the world (even favoured by the most famous of DJ's).
We here at HOMEBAKE HQ are truly honoured to welcome BLONDIE to our stages for what should be one of the biggest sing-a-longs ever to be witnessed in the Domain on December 8th.

Natalie Glasson | Sacred School of Om Na | January 15 2012
My grace and love is expressed to you bountifully from every vibration that combines and creates my being. I am Lady Quan Yin. I step forward as a voice for the feminine vibration of the Creator's heart, holding power, gentleness and tenderness. It is my mission to step forward to you today to share some important wisdom and to be of service at this most sacred time.
I say to you that love is coming. Love is present already and eternally but it is the manifestation and humanity's realisation of love that is coming. With each and every day you continue to exist on the Earth you are enhancing the vibration of love. Love at this very moment ought to occupy your mind, taking up more space and multiple thoughts which grow and strengthen in power with each day. We are not asking you to move mountains, to sacrifice yourself in the name of love or the name of the Creator. We are simply asking you to fill yourself with love. Do you respect your body enough to allow it to vibrate as love? Do you honour your soul enough to develop your focus even further than before, making sure that more of your thoughts are concentrated on love?
From the core of Mother Earth love is rising like bubbles into the Earth's soil. At this very moment love is rising into the atmosphere. It is a new movement occurring on the Earth. The newspapers and news channels will not cover this shift in the Earth's activity but it is news to be aware of. We have not seen such bubbles of love rising up through the soil of the Earth for so many lifetimes upon the Earth. It is a great and wondrous manifestation that symbolises that love is beginning to manifest.
These love bubbles are manifesting through the soil of the Earth and represents that love is transforming into a more solid vibration and energy. Over the next few months the love bubbles will continue to flow and you can allow yourself to be open to this sacred love. There is a need to simply connect your heart with Mother Earth and ask for the love to flow into your being. Ask your body and auric field to absorb the loving energy flowing through the soil into your atmosphere. This is occurring all over the world. Quietly and silently love is manifesting. Let yourself benefit from the loving energies melting into the physical vibration and dimension. It is only the beginning of the manifestation of love.
The transition of moving from 2011 to 2012 allowed humanity as a whole to leave behind much karmic energies and so a greater openness is being experienced. The Earth in itself has experienced a new liberation from blockages and is able to filter the love from Mother Earth into the atmosphere and realities of humanity.
As the love bubbles are forming and rising through and into the Earth every person on Earth is receiving a divine awakening. Mother Earth cannot make it any clearer to you your purpose and mission upon this Earth at this very moment. Mother Earth is existing in peace and joy, opening her heart chakra and allowing pure love to flow. This love is the love given by humanity to Mother Earth over thousands of years. Mother Earth doesn't want you to stop sending your energy of love and healing to her but she opens her heart expansively and gives back to humanity, expressing more than ever before.
Her message to you is to be at peace and in joy at this time, to allow your own heart chakras to open expansively. Give to yourself and to the world all the love that has been given to you by your family and guides upon the inner planes over your many lifetimes. All the love that has been given to you in the past, you do not have to hold it within you any longer, but simply let it flow.
Mother Earth wishes you to know that life, meaning the vibration of your being and your experiences, doesn't need to be intense or difficult. You can exist in the energy of love allowing all to be well. Mother Earth wishes you to know that by opening your heart chakra more than you have previously allowed yourself, will act as your protection, your guiding light and your alignment with everything. She wishes for many of you to increase your sensitivity to the Earth. This is why she is asking you and making you aware of absorbing the love bubbles flowing from her heart chakra. If each person on the Earth can feel a greater attunement with Mother Earth then natural disasters and dramatic natural shifts will become situations of the past. If people are sensitive to Mother Earth they can begin to move with her, absorbing any stress or strain from energetic shifts into their own being to be dispersed easily, naturally dispersing the climax of energetic shifts through meditation and practices focused upon instructing consciousness.
This is a very important and sacred message appearing from Mother Earth. She no longer wishes to work alone but as one with humanity, now is the time to build the oneness that each soul wishes to experience.

Tobi Wong is eyeing the guy in the glasses. The one who keeps dipping his hand in the candy jar. Over and over and over again. Unapologetically. "Doesn't he know those are samples?
That's so rude!" Tobi is appalled. But you can't fault the guy: the little candies--which spell out "Cappellini" in black sugar--are delish! When Tobi fluttered off to get me eggnog, I pocketed a few extra from the sample jar, too.
Cappellini's SoHo store might seem an unlikely venue for a pop-up shop proffering lollipops and other sweets by the Japanese confectioner Papabubble.
But the Candy Shoppe, which runs through the holidays, is the latest collaboration between Tobi and frequent partner-in-crime Josee Lepage, who based the edible designs on Cappellini creations.
(There's even a candy likeness of a Stephen Burks's Love bowl, sure to give even the most devout Burks fan a queasy sugar high.)
So, why candy? "It's a recession," says Tobi. "No one wants to buy furniture, but they'll buy candy because it's cheap." Suckers!

Pick of the day: Inaction in the NFL
I have always tried arguing with friends about why I think football is insanely boring and certainly less interesting than college basketball. But every time I make the attempt -- all the stopping, the starts and fits, the boring car commercials -- I am quickly shot down. Now, thanks to a recent piece in the Wall Street Journal, I have some data to back me up.
According to the Journal's David Biderman, there is an average of eleven minutes during each game when the ball is in play. A football game -- yes, even that one from Sunday night -- features hardly any football being played.
From the article:
According to a Wall Street Journal study of four recent broadcasts, and similar estimates by researchers, the average amount of time the ball is in play on the field during an NFL game is about 11 minutes. In other words, if you tally up everything that happens between the time the ball is snapped and the play is whistled dead by the officials, there's barely enough time to prepare a hard-boiled egg. In fact, the average telecast devotes 56% more time to showing replays.
So what else goes on? Biderman explains: Commercials take up an hour. Another 75 minutes is spent on players hanging out by the scrimmage line, huddling, or doing whatever else that does not involve tackling, throwing, or running.
I don't want to say much more because you must click through to the story. And for those of you who didn't want to sit through the entire telecast of the 2010 Super Bowl but are still upset that you missed the commercials? The New York Times's Stuart Elliott live-blogged the commercials, which created a useful online sanctuary for those of us merely interested in an easy-to-click rundown of all the funny and not-so-funny ads.

rRootage Online HD has given shmup fans quite a bit of love. It's got lots of shooting, plenty of resulting explosions and a grand total of 160 stages. There are four different game modes included, giving players four different ways to experience the bullet-hell mayhem. It also features the expectant online high scores and, of course, achievements.
Until recently, this was an experience only afforded to iPhone users. Now, after the new 1.3.0 release, iPad users can get in on the action. Yes, rRootage Online HD is indeed a universal app now.
Since I don't own an iPad myself I can't really say much of the experience on the larger device, but I imagine the bigger screen makes spotting those pesky enemy projectiles a bit easier. Regardless, it's nice to see rRootage Online HD getting even more love. It's bound to please iPad using shmup fans who've might have missed it the first time around.

You Know that would geting awsome? To get Steam OS on the Game Cube or Wii (Debian Linux Gamer os ;) )
Took a bit of time to install, but once it's on it worked well. Be aware that it can't tell the difference between primary and secondary RAM, that it's no longer supported, that it's an old Debian and sometimes WiFi breaks so you need to reboot. But those are only small niggles when you consider what you get - Linux on the Wii :-)
good job
Very Nice Project !!My Project is based with your Whiite Linux :-) I make a userfriendly Whiite Linux with updated packages system files apt-get list... I realy like your project.But please fix ping.When i start ping ,pinging wont stop....

Developed by a team of collaborators, including Disney Research, Interactive Light Field Painting allows users to a create three-dimensional drawings with a light pen, which is tracked by a near-infrared camera.
Credit: Disney Research
When it comes to the art of drawing, the question of analog versus digital inevitably arises. Michael Graves, FAIA, bemoaned the profession's increasing reliance on the latter in his New York Times op-ed, "Architecture and the Lost Art of Drawing": "What has happened to our profession, and our art, to cause the supposed end of our most powerful means of conceptualizing and representing architecture?"
Though computer-aided design is widespread, the emergence of several manual technologies suggests that hand-drawing is far from dead. Instead, it is evolving as a vital and experimental means of creative production.
The NeoLucida, for one, has breathed new life into a long-standing drawing technology. Media scholars Pablo Garcia and Golan Levin modeled the device after the camera lucida, an early 19th-century tool. This optical instrument projects an artist's subject onto a drawing surface via a prism, enabling highly accurate hand-drawn representations. According to the developers, the camera lucida was made obsolete by photography; a working original today costs several hundred dollars.
However, Garcia and Levin's efforts to manufacture an updated version of the technology has quickly generated buzz—and lots of it. Their Kickstarter offering of the NeoLucida sold out twice, with more than $400,000 pledged beyond the $15,000 initial goal.
Users and see and edit freehand and parametric drawings in three-dimensional space with Interactive Light Field Painting.
Meanwhile, the 3Doodler is a hand stylus that creates three-dimensional wireframe models without turning on a computer. Garnering more than $2.3 million more than its initial funding request of $30,000 through Kickstarter, the 3Doodler uses 3-millimeter-diameter ABS or PLA plastic rods to create skeletal "sketches" on a flat surface or in mid-air.
Its inventors, who hail from the Boston-based toy and robotics company WobbleWorks, have not only united drawing and modeling in a fresh way, but also offer the most inexpensive 3D printing method to date.
Many tablets and touchscreen interfaces seek to make digital drawing more hands on. Interactive Light Field Painting is similar to these approaches but, like the 3Doodler, it allows the user to draw in space. Developed by Disney Research, Adobe Systems, University College London, Technische Universität Berlin, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the experimental project enables one to paint with light using a physical stylus. Sensors detect the location of the 3D light pen, and an autostereoscopic display allows users to see and edit freehand and parametric drawings in three-dimensional space.
Although the crude interfaces of early computer technologies distanced the users from their drawings, today's wealth of tools enable architects to brainstorm ideas by hand freely, and with minimal disruption. Thus the debate between analog and digital drawing should not be reduced to a black-and-white comparison. Rather, we should explore what, in reality, is a rich and varied field of experimentation in hand-based media.

April Fact Sheet: Food
Have an emergency food supply that will meet the needs of your household for three days without outside help.
Things to do
Below is a list of thing that you can do to achieve your goal this month. Choose at least one, and complete it.
Download the Visual Fact Sheet
An emergency food supply doesn't have to sit on a shelf, ready for disaster to strike (although it can). It can be part of the food you use every day. The key to a good food storage plan is to buy ahead of time. Replace items before they run out. Buy items when they are on sale. A large duffle bag or plastic tub with a lid makes a great storage place for an emergency food supply. Make sure your family, including pets, will have what they need when disaster strikes.

As the priest lopes about the small sanctuary, swinging a brass incense holder suspended at the end of three long chains, the scented air surrounds him like a halo. He's chanting in Slavonic, a language devised more than a millennium ago in a vain effort to bring religious unity to the Slavic peoples of Russia and the Balkans. Centuries have passed since Slavonic was spoken by anyone except those Russian Orthodox priests who use it in their liturgy.
Mike Christie, the sole parishioner at this service, stands at the back of the church; he admits that Slavonic is beyond his ken. An American of Greek descent, he says he's picked up a phrase or two during the year he's attended the church -- specifically the invocation "God have mercy," which is repeated hundreds of times in the three-hour service, and which has the phonetic sound of an appeal to medieval ghosts.
The spectral echoes seem appropriate tonight. Father Daniel McKenzie, a Boston native and a lapsed Roman Catholic, recovered his faith in the confines of this very church almost a quarter-century ago. McKenzie, who up until that time had drifted unhappily and with no small degree of disgust through the sunny, strip-malled sacrilege of modern life, found meaning, refuge, and comfort at the St. Vladimir Russian Orthodox Church in Exile, a small white building on a nondescript street in the all but forgotten neighborhood of Flagami.
Resting on a swatch of land a few blocks north of Flagler Street and west of LeJeune Road, St. Vladimir is located halfway between the Little Havana headquarters of Alpha 66, the militant Cuban exile group, and the home base of the Cuban American National Foundation in West Dade. But unlike those organizations, which were founded on the psychological bedrock of Cuban exile, the Russian church has had difficulty attracting much of a following.
On important holidays such as Easter, 30 to 50 people might show up. Usually, though, only two or three parishioners appear at regular Sunday services. On Saturday evening, when the Sabbath officially begins and the evening service is read, McKenzie and his family are frequently the only congregants, alternating the roles of deacon, reader, choir members, and altar boy among them. Three-quarters of the way through the service, his wife and children go to bed, leaving the priest to conclude the rites in solitude.
Tonight, thanks to Mike Christie's presence, McKenzie has someone to listen to his prayers, if not quite understand them. For his congregation of one, McKenzie has donned the full formal regalia of the Orthodox church, including a purple cap and a white brocade vestment embroidered with golden thread. Of medium build, the 53-year-old McKenzie appears to stand taller in his priestly robes. His silver-brown eyes, magnified behind spectacles, complement his long gray hair, which he used to gather in a ponytail and stuff under a motorcycle helmet, back when he was a city planner in West Palm Beach. McKenzie chants softly as he ambles around the empty church, now reading from an embossed prayer book, now entering the altar area and holding aloft the incense-shaker time and again.
Night falls and the gold-flecked paint on the life-size icons begins to glow. A multitude of saints, revered by the Orthodox, are painted on the walls, ceiling beams, and the iconostasis, a cherry wood partition that separates the altar from the middle portion of the church, where parishioners stand. The images are reflected in the polished silver candleholders that stretch toward the ceiling and support rows of flickering, mustard-colored beeswax candles. Crosses blossom from the walls, partitions, and religious objects like silver crocuses pushing out of the ground after a long winter.
The service is an unending concatenation of hymns, with each prayer corresponding to a traditional melody. McKenzie stumbles occasionally over the spongy Slavonic phrasing, then finds his footing and moves on. His praying sounds like soft sobs, and it is accompanied by the hum of the air conditioner and odd snatches of Spanish and laughter, as conversation from a nearby home drifts in and out of earshot.
Most of the McKenzies' neighbors are Hispanic. They occupy modest one-story wooden houses and unremarkable two-story concrete apartment buildings. Heat, noise, sunlight, and traffic have done their part to leach vitality from the surrounding warrens of domesticity. The neighborhood, while clinging to the edge of Little Havana, lacks a collective identity.
From this welter of working-class lives the slender blue domes of St. Vladimir rise like giddy tulip bulbs. An icon of the Virgin Mary is affixed to an arch over the entrance to the property, and a pathway leading to the sanctuary circles a garden planted with marigolds and poinsettia, mango trees and Christmas palms.
The overall effect is a paean to prerevolutionary Russian opulence, a tribute to the meticulously mannered worlds of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, where the mysteries of peasant spirituality mixed uneasily with the conceits of the nobility. This would be a place for displaced Russian princes, immigrant Siberian laborers, and pious country women to rekindle the waning ardor of nostalgia when the pressures of assimilation become too great and the memory too feeble.

EUS 361 • Polit Econ of Internatl Crisis
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |

TTh |
Cleaver, H |
Course Description
This course is designed to introduce students to the analysis of the ongoing international crisis in the world economic order. There has been for some time considerable agreement among many individuals and institutions concerned with international issues of monetary relations, trade, development, and political stability that since the beginning of the 1970s the old Western international order of Bretton Woods, the Development Decade and Keynesian policy has collapsed. For over three decades the stability of nations and of international relations have been rocked repeatedly by monetary collapse, debt crises, food crises, repeated recessions, energy crises, ecological decay and massive uncontrolled movements of money and population across borders. Added to these crises of the Western world, has been the crises of the Eastern Bloc: the popular upheavals in China that led to the Tienamen massacres and widespread changes in economic policy, economic and nationalist unrest which has broken up the Soviet Union and the wave of popular struggles which swept Eastern Europe abolishing the old communist governments of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, followed by a break up of Yugoslavia wracked by ethnic antagonism and genocidal violence.

For an eclectic look, create a niche above the fridge and display decorative platters and vases that are too pretty to hide behind cabinet doors. Install custom molding around the niche to enhance the look.
If hidden storage is a priority in your kitchen, install a cabinet above the fridge. Make it as deep as the fridge and take it all the way to the ceiling. For a built-in look, add molding and disguise your fridge behind matching cabinet panels.
Take your above-the-fridge display idea a step further with its own recessed lighting and arched molding.
Open shelving mimics built-ins and allows you to store cookbooks and collectibles in plain sight. Keep a sturdy step stool in a fun color nearby to reach the items easily.
A custom wine rack above the refrigerator is a spin-off on the open shelving idea, and the gridlike pattern adds interest to the room. Because high temperatures can affect the aging process of wine, this idea works best above modern refrigerators where the coils are on the bottom of the fridge instead of on the back.
This built-in wine rack features a crisscross design as an unexpected geometric element. Keeping the wine rack the same color and material as the rest of the kitchen makes for a seamless design.
If you enjoy watching television while you cook, why not fill the nook above your fridge with a small flatscreen TV? As opposed to countertop or undercabinet locations, this placement frees up countertop space for meal prep and avoids cooking messes from splattering onto the TV.
Another take on the TV idea is to place it behind doors and on a pullout shelf. This way it can be hidden when not in use and easily pulled out when desired.

Mike Tirico polled Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski for thoughts on the NFC West.
Their answers are sure to stir debate on the blog.
They set the over-under for victories as follows: San Francisco 49ers (nine), Arizona Cardinals (eight), Seattle Seahawks (seven) and St. Louis Rams (four).
Gruden and Jaworski then picked over or under for each team's total. Looks like they're expecting the 49ers to run away with the division this season. One panelist even thought the Rams would hit the over.

Rumors, for better or worse, are an important element of public discourse. The present paper focuses on rumors as an epistemic phenomenon rather than as a social or political problem. In particular, it investigates the relation between the mode of transmission and the reliability, if any, of rumors as a source of knowledge. It does so by comparing rumor with two forms of epistemic dependence that have recently received attention in the philosophical literature: our dependence on the testimony of others, and our dependence on what has been called the 'coverage-reliability' of our social environment (Goldberg 2010). According to the latter, an environment is 'coverage-reliable' if, across a wide range of beliefs and given certain conditions, it supports the following conditional: If ~p were true I would have heard about it by now. However, in information-deprived social environments with little coverage-reliability, rumors may transmit information that could not otherwise be had. This suggests that a trade-off exists between levels of trust in the coverage-reliability of official sources and (warranted) trust in rumor as a source of information.

I miss this guy. Terribly. Our friendship came about in the most unlikely of circumstances. In fact, in the years after college, we both admitted that we didn't really like each other at first.
My first dose of Randy was in a shuttle from the ST Louis Airport back to Greenville College where we both were arriving as freshman for college football camp. I hopped in the van to be greeted by this rather interesting looking character with shoulder length hair, a bandana and tie dyed shirt who was clutching a ceramic statue of a monkey on a surf board. ...continue reading

Holub headed to Italy

By RANDY GONZALES
Ciao, everybody.
That's Italian for hello or goodbye.
For Maddie Holub, former star pitcher for both Fort Hays State University and Hays' Thomas More Prep-Marian High School, she will be doing both.
Holub will be saying goodbye to friends and family and saying hello to her new home in Italy when she leaves Hays in March to play in a professional softball league.
"I'm really excited," Holub said. "Honestly, I'm a little bit scared."
Holub has grown up and lived all her life in Hays; her first plane ride was to Florida to play softball.
"I don't know if it's actually hit me that in two months I'm going to be living in Italy by myself," Holub said.
An official for Collecchio Baseball Softball Club in Collecchio, Italy, reached out to Holub's coach at FHSU, Erin Kinberger. Holub took approximately two months to make the decision to play overseas, deciding just recently she was going to go.
"I definitely had to think about it," Holub said. "It's a great offer. ... When it's something you have to look into, it's a hard decision. I've got to leave my job. I've got to leave the girls I'm coaching here. I'm going to have to miss half the season."
"There's a lot of things that went into it," Holub said.
Holub, 23, who graduated from FHSU with a bachelor's degree in health and human performance, is working on her master's in health and human performance while also serving as a graduate assistant coach for the FHSU softball team. She will leave the team during the season to play in Italy.
Holub will fly to Italy on March 19 with her family.
"They're so excited," Holub said of her family. "They weren't expecting it, like I wasn't. It will give them an excuse to travel."
The season for Holub's Italian team starts March 29. The regular season ends July 5. The four top teams in the 11-team league advance to the world championships in Holland in September.
"I could be back early July, or in September," Holub said.
Collecchio is a town of approximately 13,000 located near Parma, in northern Italy. The team's coach said they will pay for an apartment for Holub and other living expenses.
"He told me to bring my glove, bring my clothes; the rest they'll take care of," Holub said.
The language barrier could be a problem for Holub.
"I'm the only American on the team as of right now," said Holub, adding each team is allowed two foreign players. "I am a little nervous about the language barrier. The manager I have been speaking to speaks OK English; it's not great. He said there are three or four girls on the team that speak fluent English. I'm sure I'll pick up on it OK."
Holub will pitch for her new team and will compete for an outfield spot, too.
"I'm not sure what the competition level of it is," Holub said of the league. "I hope I'll be successful; I'm going to work to be."
That work ethic served Holub well in high school and FHSU.
At TMP, Holub helped the Monarchs win two state titles and finish third her senior year. As a senior, Holub was 11-1 as a pitcher, with a 0.18 earned-run average. In 79 innings, she allowed four hits, with 171 strikeouts. Holub also hit .695, with 11 homers and 48 RBIs to lead the Monarchs.
Holub completed her career at FHSU with a masterful senior season. She tossed six no-hitters -- including back-to-back perfect games -- as the Tigers won two NCAA tournament games for the first time in school history. Holub went 29-4 last spring, with a 1.03 ERA. In 224 innings, she allowed 97 hits with 345 strikeouts. She also led the team at the plate, batting .426 with 19 homers and 56 RBIs.
Holub believes the attention she received her senior season was what caught the Italian team's eye.
"No doubt, that's how they found out about me," she said. "With the season I had last year, the season our team had, we got more media coverage than we ever have. Being in Italy, how else would they have found me, other than through the Internet and stories posted, searching through stats."
One added plus for living in Italy: Holub enjoys Italian food.
"I love Italian food; it's going to be a problem," she said with a laugh. "Good thing I have time to work out a lot, because I'm going to be eating a lot of pasta."

Makeup Brush 101. Hey lovelies!
I am so thrilled to finally be publishing one of your most-requested posts- Makeup Brush 101!

Hannover 96 chairman Martin Kind says it is no surprise that Mame Biram Diouf's proposed move to Stoke City is taking its time, following reports of the striker's agent demanding more money.
Diouf, who moved to the Bundesliga from Manchester United in 2012, is available as a free agent this summer after turning down the offer of a new deal at the HDI-Arena.
He had a difficult time during his previous stay in England, managing just four Premier League goals combined between his time at United and a loan spell at Blackburn, but the Senegal international found the net eight times from 19 league games last season in Germany.
Despite the Potters believed to be closing in on the 26-year-old's signature, Kind was cynical as to why nothing had been concluded yet between the two sides, claiming the failed negotiations to renew his contract proved problematic.
"I am really not surprised to hear the Bosman transfer of Mame Biram Diouf is not yet completed," he told kicker-Sportmagazin.
"Even in those talks with us, there were issues coming up now and then. And those issues were right in the borderline and almost exceeding tolerable limits."

My mother's side of the family has a history of early periods occurring at regular intervals. Because of this, it seems as though my high risk percentage has turned up as a likely continuation of this "legacy." I am currently menstruating, as was I a mere 15 days prior. I understand I am young enough to have irregular periods, being only 15 years of age, but the normalcy has been apparent in the fact that they always came later, and of the countless times I've been through this before, it has never been early. Not even by a day, I'm afraid , which is why I believe there may be cause for concern. I was an early bloomer in terms of puberty and my physical being, so one could say I've been experiencing this longer than most my age have, and I'm starting to get the idea I'm "leveling out," so to speak, and my heredity is coming to haunt me. However, I would like to know if there are other reasons why this could be happening. Any suggestions would be wonderful!
*And on a similar note, when I menstruate, I feel elated and ecstatic, and have much more energy. I'm simply a happier person without sadness of any kind. Thoughts?*
Thank you so much if you've taken the time to respond!
Hello TheHypoteticalMetis,
At what age did you begin menstruating?
As you know, the menstrual cycle is regulated by a hormones. During each cycle, your brain's hypothalamus and pituitary gland send hormone signals back and forth with your ovaries. These signals get the ovaries and uterus ready for a pregnancy. Estrogen and progesterone play the biggest role in how the uterus changes during each cycle.
A change in hormone levels can affect your cycle. Teenagers tend to have low or changing progesterone levels. A drop in progesterone along with estrogen causes the lining of the uterus to break down. This is when your period starts.
This could possibly be the reason you had two periods just two weeks apart.
Scheduling an appointment with your doctor will allow you the opportunity to discuss your menstrual cycle and concerns.
November 15, 2012 - 6:11pmSorry about the title question! It's supposed to say "Why might I be having a period after two weeks?"

Posted: Jan 28, 2013 8:57 PM
Kentucky Coach John Calipari
On Willie Cauley-Stein's condition ...
"Willie is good, making the trip. Don't know if he'll practice today. He's running up and down and I don't
know if I want him to do that, but he may. I would guess doubtful for Tuesday. The word questionable? I
don't know. He'll probably try to convince me he's ready so we'll see."
On how he'll deal with Marshall Henderson and the environment at Ole Miss ...
"This is all good. Let me just tell you. They're very physical. You watch the game last year; it was a tie game
except for four minutes in the second half where we blew the game open. The rest of the game was a tie
game and they battled and they did not step back, and we were a good team last year. They're all back and
they've got a guy that, he must remind Andy [Kennedy] of Andy. Just get in there and the ultimate green
light. Shoot every ball if you want and the kid feels. He gets it going that way."
On whether he would have Archie Goodwin guard Marshall Henderson ...
"I don't know yet. We're trying to figure out how we'll play it. We did some stuff yesterday at practice but
(Henderson)'s going to take 14 three's. Whether you're on him, you're not on him, he's taking 13 three's. I
love his energy and his excitement about playing. He loves the game. It was a great thing Ray Lewis did,
and I showed the guys, one of the things he said, 'The reason I could last this long, I love it. I love
everything about it. I love the game.' I stopped the tape, 'Do you love playing? Or are you more happy when
practice is over than when it starts?' Everything I'm trying to do is get these guys to grow up fast and the
biggest thing is to get them to recognize what they're doing, what it looks like. You have to recognize it
before you can change it."
On whether he feels like there is more of a sense of urgency surrounding this game ...
"Everyone is. You know, if you told me you're going to lose this and win the next nine, 'Alright, wake me up
when it's over. I'll sit and watch the game.' So, it doesn't matter, no. It's another learning experience for us.
They've got to learn about themselves, and that's the biggest thing. Someone said, 'How do you build
confidence?' You do it on the court by demonstrated performance. You quit hanging your head. When
another team makes a run, quit hanging your head. Quit slouching over. Just keep balling, keep playing. It's
just something hard to break, but they're trying. The crazy thing I keep coming back to, we have a bunch of
good guys. There are no evil dudes in there. They've got bad habits and they've got a mindset that is not
conducive to team play, and all of those things we're trying to change, but they're good guys. They've
played a certain way their whole lives and you can't win at this level playing that way. But they're learning,
they're getting better. I look at certain guys on our team and say, 'wow, they really improved.' Now we just
have to have two things, each individual, what would it look like if each individual played the best version of
themselves and then what would it look like if our team knew exactly what we were going to do and we're
going to be the best version of ourselves. We're not close to that, some other teams are, well they've been
together. I'll be honest with you, Mississippi is, they're the best version of themselves right now. They're
playing physical, they get down, it doesn't faze them, they get up, they bury you. They'll make shots, they're
strong inside, whatever they're running they run well. You're not going to be able to go down there and
compete with them either being soft, mentally or physically, or not being a good version of yourself,
preparing to play great, it doesn't mean you play great but you at least prepare to play great."
On what it would take for Willie Cauley-Stein to convince him he was ready to play ...
"It's a ways away. We'll have to see."
On Ole Miss' confidence ...
"That's what my teams historically have been, those are my teams. We always like to play front-running
teams, which when they have it going good, they're chest-bumping and doing it and when it goes in, they
wilt. That's who we've always wanted to play. That's what Mississippi is, they are the kind of the team that
I've coached historically, which is, doesn't matter what the score is, we're balling, we're doing this together
and if I'm not playing well I'll do something else to help this team win because that's the whole mindset, it's
not about me, it's about us and that's how they play. They're good; they are a really good team. They're top-
15, they may even be better than that."
On the best version of this team ...
"We're not, I don't want to say we're the least version of ourselves but we're certainly not the best version.
But look, we're getting better. It seems like one kid will play better and then another just steps back. All the
sudden Ryan (Harrow) was playing well and now it's almost like we have to play Jarrod (Polson). And then
all of the sudden, Archie (Goodwin) does fine and then all of the sudden he's taking bad shots and then
Alex (Poythress) is not competing then he's playing well. Now you have Kyle and Nerlens playing well and
you have the injury. We've had a lot of stuff thrown at us, no excuses but we just have to get to that point in
the season where everyone totally surrenders to each other. Surrender to each other, do it, talk more. 'I
don't like to talk.' You're hurting your teammate by not talking. 'I know, do I have to move my lips when I talk
or can I do it without moving my lips?' You just have to surrender and do what the team needs you to do
and we're just not quite there."
On if Henderson is an X-Factor ...
"I would say he's that type of guy. There may be special attention paid to him. What you end up doing if you
pay too much attention to him, all of a sudden two big guys get 20 and 20 and then you've got no chance of
beating them. A lot of times you want one guy to get 30 and not let the other guys get any. And there are
many times I've coached a game where I've said we're letting him get his 30-35, let him try. And if he's on
fire, then OK, we've got problems. And if he's shooting it anyway, and he doesn't... And sometimes we do it
with big guys. Why trap them? Let him try to get 40. It will take out this guy, that guy, that guy. Now, that's
not how we played the kid (Texas A&M's Elston) Turner, but there are times we do it."
On lessons learned from Turner applying towards Henderson ...
"No, but he's probably watching that tape, I would say. Their team probably watched that tape, us falling
into screens, hands down, beat on the dribble, beat on curl cuts, stopping, acting exhausted, just whaling
with no bones in your body. I imagine they watched it, though."
On why he defended Archie Goodwin on his website ...
"Because DeWayne (Peevy) said, 'Yeah, some people after Alabama took some shots at Archie.' I go, 'For
what?' 'For some of the shot selection.' I said, 'We had two other guys play so bad, did they say anything
about anybody else? Why would they say anything about him? This kid works his butt off.' So after I slept
on it, I said I wanted to make a statement so that everybody knows that he's the first one in the gym. He's
the last one to leave. He comes in the evening. He does what he's supposed to do. He's a good teammate.
He just doesn't have the right mindset, doesn't know shot selection, plays out of control, because that's how
he's always played. So, now, it's DeAndre Liggins. Can we get him to play the right way? And when you get
a kid like that to play the right way, he becomes a killer. Right now, he's a killer, but sometimes he's killing
us. I can deal with that versus a kid that's scared or doesn't show up for the game. There's nothing you can
tell me about that. That's why I said that we had other guys at Alabama that did not show up for the game.
No one said anything? Then why would you say something about this kid then? So that's the only reason I
said it."
On why Nerlens Noel isn't getting the praise that Anthony Davis did last season ...
"Because we're not winning like we were. If we were winning, he'd be getting all the praise. If we were
winning like we were last year, he'd be getting all the praise. He is getting better and better. Everyone that
sees him says he's a way better player, and I agree. He's working in practice. I just told him like I told John
Wall, take other people with you. I don't care that you're doing all this and stuff's good, take some other
guys with you. Grab them. If they don't want to go, push them aside. Take guys with you so that it's not just
you. Take them with you. Let's all play well."
On his team's composure on Tuesday night ...
"I'd like us to lose our composure. Like lose your composure. Get mad. Get angry. Be mad to be great.
(Calipari mumbles inaudibly) 'Sorry, you can't...' What? Be mad. And if he talks, talk back to him. Be mad. I
mean compete, battle, fight, toughness, swagger. It's hard to have a swagger when you're ducking and
you're running. You've got to dig your heels in. And this is why I'm saying, all of this stuff is good for our
team. If we're going to get it, it's going to be competing in games like this and growing."
Kentucky Players
#12, Ryan Harrow, G, Soph.
On how big the game tomorrow is for the team ...
"It is big for us, but I think it is bigger for them because they are the ones who are supposed to win. If we
come out there and beat them, it will be a big thing for us. We just have to be ready to play and be physical.
They are a big team."
On how much this team needs a quality win ...
"It would be really good to get a quality win over a big team like Ole Miss. We are just trying to focus on
getting our best game."
On if he agrees with Coach Calipari that the team plays to not lose instead of playing to win and how the
team can change that ...
"I think so. I think we get afraid of losing sometimes and we already have the lead. That is what he has
mentioned to me and that it's how the other teams are able to come back. It's just a learning thing. We just
need to continue to play like we played to get that lead."
On if it is the team is afraid of losing or slacking off because they have a comfortable lead ...
"That may be it also. We feel like we are comfortable and we have the lead so we feel like the other team
may not try as much, but they always seem to come back."
On what he thinks of this game's opportunity to improve the team's standings ...
"If we just do the things Coach prepares us to do, and not let the one kid (Henderson) get off, I think we will
be good. If we just go out there and have fun and play hard for 40 minutes, I think we will do good."
#22, Alex Poythress, F, Fr.
On Ole Miss' Marshall Henderson ...
"He's a good player that gets up a lot of shots. He's got a nice little stroke so we will have to contain him
and put a hand up on his shots."
On the antics of Marshall Henderson ...
"I'm aware of it. We have seen and heard some stuff, but I guess that's just part of his game."
On the keys to winning tomorrow's game ...
"Just playing within our system and playing a complete game. Giving people open shots, hitting shots,
running the floor, getting easy buckets and getting it into the post. All of the little things really."
On getting used to the atmosphere of a road game ...
"There is always going to be sold out games and everybody will be yelling and screaming because we're
Kentucky. We just have to get ready to play ball."
On the challenges Ole Miss' frontcourt brings with its size ...
"It is going to be a big challenge. Henderson is not their only player on the team. They have other pieces
that help them go. We are just going to have to play a good game and play some defense."
On facing a ranked opponent ...
"It is an opportunity for us. We are taking this one game at a time, so we are just looking ahead to
tomorrow's game."

Is the second baby coming soon? The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are moving into their new Kensington Palace apartment, which is all set up with two nurseries! The couple reportedly were hoping to be pregnant with their second baby by Christmas — or is she pregnant already?
Kate Middleton and Prince William are moving in to Kensington Palace with their newborn son, Prince George. Even though the couple only have one baby right now, their apartment was remodeled to include two separate nurseries!
Kate Middleton Pregnant Again? — New House Has Two Nurseries
Will and Kate's palace apartment features two nurseries — one day nursery and one night nursery for sleeping, reports Us Weekly.
"The day nursery will become a play room as he grows up," a palace insider tells the mag.
But the apartment's set-up is perfect for their growing family's future! Having two kids so close together in age means they could share a nursery and playroom, but they could each also enjoy their own room!
Kate Middleton & Prince William Trying For Second Baby
Kate and Will are loving being parents so much that sources say they are already eager to welcome another bundle of joy. "They'd love to be pregnant again by the end of the year," a family source told Us. "They want a brother or sister for George."
"William and Kate are very keen to start trying for baby No. 2," an insider told Life & Style magazine. In fact, "they'd be thrilled if Kate were pregnant by Christmas. William and Kate will be splitting their time during the holidays with Kate's family and the queen in Sandringham House in Norfolk, so it would be the perfect moment for an announcement."
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Do you think Kate and Will are planning for baby #2?

Dear Hollywood Life,
It is silly for someone to say they are going to want to try for their next baby by the end of the year (Decembre 2013). A woman is most healthy, and ready to bring another child into the world now that her body has had time to replenish her vitamins, minerals, and hormone levels, about 12-15 months after giving birth. So please, do everyone a favor and let them rest and enjoy George. One is good for now.

They are still people, -people, – who deserve some respect, wealthy or poor, they are in a marriage,..No slut comments please! Their country simply has a tradition in the way they govern. I thnk they have accepted this highly visible position with grace, manners, and elegant dress that is very nice to see and rare in todays world. They are a good example so far of a committed heterosexual couple who want to be good parents. I hope God does bless them with a second child as was mentioned in a prayer voiced as l recall at their wedding.

They already know they have having more than one child. Hell, we know that. So why wouldn't they have more than one nursery. Good planning, rather than than walk the entire palace to put your child down for a nap, you probably would want a nursery closer to the living space on the main level.
Doesn't seem like a stretch to me….

The agency's sNDA approval was based on positive data from a Phase III noninferiority study in 222 bortezomib-naive patients with relapsed multiple myeloma, which was designed to demonstrate that single agent subcutaneous Velcade retained at least 60% of the overall response rate after four cycles, relative to single agent intravenous Velcade.
Velcade is approved in over 90 countries worldwide. The drug has been codeveloped by Takeda's Millennium, and Janssen Pharmaceutical. Millennium commercializes Velcade in the U.S., and Janssen's responsibility covers Europe and the rest of the world. Takeda and Janssen's Japanese businesses co-promote Velcade in Japan.

drinks. Guaraná contains three times as much caffeine as does coffee, and recent tests at Harvard have shown that caffeine and some synthetic analogs can kill or inhibit the growth of mosquitoes and other insects (J.Nathanson, Harvard, personal communication, 1986). Should further testing prove caffeine to be an effective insecticide, guaraná could become a major crop throughout the tropics.
Development of native indigenous plants, particularly with reference to tropical and subtropical soils, will be beneficial at a variety of economies of scale. In some instances, their development will be small and amenable to utilization by individual farmers or farming groups. On the other hand, there will be instances where development will be large scale and have international implications. From McKell, 1980.
During the Arab oil embargo of 1973, the U.S. community was faced not only with the loss of a major energy source but also with the loss of its most important raw material for the manufacture of innumerable synthetic products. Few realize how many of our everyday products are made from petroleum and petroleum by-products, such as plastics, fertilizers, lubricants, and adhesives, to name only a few. It has recently been estimated that almost one-fifth of the petroleum used in this country is devoted to industrial nonfuel purposes (White, 1979). Between 1973 and 1976, the annual use of petroleum-based chemicals in the United States was more than 100 billion pounds (Princen, 1977), yet the majority of these substances can now be synthesized from plant products (Wang and Huffman, 1981). These so-called botanochemicals are destined to become increasingly important as raw materials for industry.
Until 1985, the reasons for reducing our dependence on fossil fuels were obvious. At present, the price of oil has dropped sharply, and there are those who believe that the heyday of the OPEC cartel is over. Nonetheless, experts disagree sharply about predictions of future price trends for petroleum. Since oil is a nonrenewable resource, and since the largest reserves lie in one of the most politically unstable regions of the world, we should try to reduce our dependence on petroleum whenever it is economically feasible.
Approximately 3 million tons of vegetable fats and oils are used each year in the manufacture of coatings, lubricants, plasticizers, and many other products (Prescott-Allen and Prescott-Allen, 1982). In the past, industrial usage of these vegetable products has suffered from competition with cheap synthetic petroleum products (Wang and Huffman, 1981), but this trend is expected to change due to the uncertainty about the future of the petroleum market. Between 1973 and 1981, the price of petrochemicals increased more than 700%, whereas that of vegetable oils rose less than 100% (Prescott-Allen and Prescott-Allen, 1982). Even in the industrialized world, commercial demand for oils for use as a food and in industry continues to grow, and demand often exceeds supply (Schultes, 1979).
