Federal Judge Grants Tom Monaghan Emergency Request; Halts Government Enforcement Of HHS Mandate
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced that yesterday (12/30/12) Federal District Court Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff of the Eastern District of Michigan, granted its Emergency Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order of the HHS Mandate. The motion was filed on behalf of Tom Monaghan.
Judge Zatkoff's ruling effectively halts enforcement of the HHS mandate against Monaghan and his property management company, Domino's Farms Corporation of which he is the owner and sole shareholder. Domino's Farms Corporation manages an Office Complex owned by Monaghan and is not to be confused with Domino's Pizza. Monaghan sold the Pizza company in 1998 and has no active affiliation with it at this time.
The HHS mandate refers to regulations adopted by the Department of Health and Human Services that forces employers, regardless of their religious convictions, to provide insurance coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception under threat of heavy penalties.
Click here to read Judge Zatkoff's entire opinion. Erin Mersino, TMLC's lead counsel on the case filed the original complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Injunctive relief on December 14, 2012. On December 21, 2012, Mersino filed the Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order. Judge Zatkoff issued his ruling amid a flurry of briefs and supplemental pleadings over the Christmas Holiday between Erin Mersino and the Government's attorney. The need for quick resolution was clear—on January 1, 2013, Tom Monaghan would be forced to choose between violating his religious beliefs and violating federal law. For purposes of the emergency Motion, Judge Zatkoff focused only on the claim brought under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. He held he did not need to engage in a separate discussion of Plaintiffs' Constitutional right to the Free Exercise of Religion since both theories seek to protect the same liberty interest—the free practice of one's religion.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

After the rainfall and cloud coverage over the last few days, a high pressure pattern is moving back in. This will clear out the clouds and move in warmer air from the south. Right now, our upper level winds are in a zonal (west-to-east) flow bringing in a little bit of moisture. In the next few days, this flow pattern will change and warmer air will move in as a result. We already have seen temperature warm a bit since the end of last week. Our afternoon highs for Saturday were right around average for this time of the year. However, temperatures will continue to warm up each afternoon, all the way until Tuesday.
Starting Sunday, a thermal trough will set up along the coast. Winds will then shift out of the north and cause a weak to moderate Chetco event at Brookings. The highs for Brookings will move into the 80's as the rest of the coast sits in the upper 50's or 60's. If this were a strong Chetco event, highs would reach the 90's. Brookings will see it's warmest temperatures Monday as the thermal trough strengthens a bit. Inland areas on Sunday will be a few degrees warmer on Sunday.
On Tuesday, the thermal trough moves inland, allowing for more of an onshore flow at the coast. This will slowly lower the afternoon highs at Brookings back down to normal by mid week. As the trough moves inland, the west side and Northern California will warm up significantly. Temperatures in the mid to upper 90's are expected for these areas. Places in Northern California will breach the 100 degree mark on Tuesday afternoon. This will be the warmest temperatures we've seen so far this year. We will be nearing record temperatures as we approach Tuesday afternoon.
After Tuesday, the ridge will break down and the thermal trough will be off to the east. This will start the cooling of the afternoon highs back down to average. At this point, a few disturbances will move into the region. There is enough instability and a little bit of moisture that some thunderstorms will form. The question is, will there be enough moisture for rain. If not, dry lightning will become a concern. Right now, the activity is confined to our normal thunderstorm spots (Northern California, the Basin, and the Cascades). Thunderstorms look to continue into Thursday, but models may keep them going into the weekend. We will keep an eye on this activity as we progress through the week.
Thanks for logging on and stay cool out there!

Elle needed temporary housing while the admins at her new college assigned a new dorm room. Although she had enough cash to pay for a few days stay, we offered her offered her the Mikey special. We emphasized the fact that she could save a large sum of money by opting for the special. After mulling it over for a few seconds she signed the lease. Soon after signing, Elle treated us to a sensual strip tease. We worshipped her firm eighteen year old body from her perky tits to her perfect ass. George had seen enough so he stuffed her pretty mouth and then fucked her tight pussy. It seemed as if Elle's clam had a kung-fu grip on George's cock because he blasted two loads all over her before it was all said and done.

Ok thought id throw one of these together.
The Beginning:
What I started with was a 2000 Toyota Tacoma SR5 with 58000 miles, 2.7 Manual with Firestone Destination LE 265/70R15s.
Not to bad imo. And that's my Finance smiling. (Its really her truck atm... my aunt sold it to us at a great deal right before this)
Not Much happens except we add a free shell i got from a brother in law off his work truck. Just need to fix rear window that had torn off the hinge( btw ARE is terrible, they wanted me to buy a complete rear window assembly, screw that; took the hinge apart, some JB weld and rivets and is good as new.)
Now my Driveway is sloped but the rear springs are shot, the extra weight of the shell and another year really started to take its toll on the suspension.
Now for a year ive been reading Tacoma forums pretty regularly waiting for the extra cash to start some projects.
Things ive done:
I did the Deck-plate mod, the only difference was that i plastic welded a computer fan shroud into the opening to block the big stuff. looks decent, sounds louder, little more pep i think, but don't think any difference in MPG. wife already had bought a K&N filter.
New Denso Spark Plugs and NGK Blue wires as preventative maintenance. Feels tad smoother idle.
Changed all Gear Fluid. Put WallyWorld Synth blend in diff's and MT-90 in TC & MT. was hard to shift in winter, i hope this helps.
Put a Marlin Crawler Shift seat in. Was having trouble shifting, some play in shifter. this helped i think.
Goodbye 15" hello 17" FJ rims and 255/75R17 BFG MT Tires. ( Sorry for bad pics, maybe this week end ill take better pictures if people want ).
Wasn't to pricey as this as take offs for people pimping their rides. So far there great, they are louder than before but thats to be expected. Feel more nimble driving around now. and shifting and gearing feels better.
And just tonight i got some ebay black-out Headlights.
Looks much better. Just need to re-aim the lights.
Future Mods.
I have sitting in my spare room a box of OME Suspension Parts front and rear. after alot of agony i just bit the bullet and bought the 881 Sport kit from Low-range off-road here in utah. Im a bit nervous because i wasn't sure if the 881s were to much for my regular cab. If i were to buy again though id probably go wheelers, they give you alot more in their kit. I played alot with going with 5100s and rebuilding my own rear leafs but one thing i have learned is do it right the first time.
I also have moog ball joints ill install at the same time.
And another big undertaking, im going to Por15 the entire chassis in hopes of stopping this terrible surface rust. seriously looks worse than my 82 Mercedes 300sd. I inspected the frame nothing major no holes or anything, tried having the dealership inspect it but the idiot lady behind the counter claimed the rust extension didn't apply to it and it had been taken care of in 2002. oh well i figure ill do a better job than what they could.
Satoshi grill is in the works with lights behind.
Fix some minor dents before they rust badly.
Over a year away, but i want to make a shell top basket that comes up from the bed like a exoskeleton over the shell but doesn't touch it. Maybe put my tire mount and hijack mounts up there. its just an idea at this point though.
Ill post more as i do them.

POSTWAR IRAQ....It seems like every few days for the past month I've heard about yet another administration proposal to "finally" get the UN involved in Iraq. The latest one was announced today, and this time it's apparently being driven by the military:
A senior administration official said that Marine Gen. Peter Pace, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had recently begun lobbying key members of the administration to support a U.N. resolution. The official added that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have become "much more interested in this than before," because they know a new resolution is necessary for them to attract new peacekeeping forces to Iraq.
Yeah, I'll bet they're more interested than before. I wonder why?
I suppose this is good news, since at some point even the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld axis has to listen to the commanders on the ground when they tell them that things aren't going so well. The problem is that it's hard to feel optimistic about the success of this initiative. After the events and bad blood of the past year, there's going to be a ton of resistance to getting the UN involved from several key countries some justified and some just out of pique. It's not easy to see a compromise that will satisfy both the international community's desire for some level of genuine control and the Bush administration's fetish for total control.
And while we're on the subject of postwar Iraq, if you want to know why we were so badly prepared as events unfolded, check out Jason Vest's article in The American Prospect from last week:
As images of the bombed United Nations headquarters in Baghdad appeared on television last week, my thoughts turned to a conversation I had with a very senior national-security official (a political appointee with no military experience, not a career bureaucrat) prior to the invasion of Iraq. He earnestly told me that after Saddam Hussein's fall, Americans would be welcomed in Iraq, and not with a fleeting shower of goodwill but with a "deluge" of "rose water and flowers" that would last in perpetuity. Ahmad Chalabi and American advisers would set up shop to oversee a transition spearheaded by scores of returning Iraqi exiles, who would transform Iraq into a profitable, oil-pumping society. After all, the official said, this wasn't Afghanistan, where there were lots of religious and tribal differences among the local populations. We wouldn't need to stay long, and we certainly wouldn't need the United Nations -- which, as far as this official and his compatriots were concerned, could go screw itself. The United States could handle it all. Within a year, he said, Iraq would be a beacon of democracy and stability in the Middle East.
Read the whole thing, which explains how the army wrote a report last October that predicted pretty much everything that ended up happening in postwar Iraq, and how the administration's hawks simply scorned and ignored it. Rose water and flowers indeed.

eye of the storm
Steven Brooke
While town architect at Seaside, Fla., Scott Merrill designed phase one of the Honeymoon Cottages (1988-99). The sextet of buildings were inspired by a cottage Thomas Jefferson lived in while building Monticello.
Scott Merrill
The dunes mask the height of the small-but-tall Honeymoon Cottages. Phase two of the buildings (1994-95) were larger and placed behind the beachfront set.
Phase two of the buildings (1994-95) were larger and placed behind the beachfront set.
The all-faiths Seaside Chapel (2001) pulls together the town's varied vernacular architecture and its transient community.
Merrill was drawn to Windsor for the opportunity to do more building types. His first phase Row Houses (1990-91) artfully articulate their symbiosis.
Casey Sills
The firm's work in densely sited resorts has taught it good manners. Highland Park House, located in an older Dallas suburb, mitigates a myriad of neighborhood styles and deemphasizes its size on street and flanking elevations.

Merrill, Pastor & Colgan Architects
Merrill's floor-plan hierarchy for courtyard houses: Living rooms trump bedrooms, bedrooms trump service rooms, and, where possible, circulate through rooms.
Commissioned to design a town center for Windsor, where there is no town, the firm oriented apartment buildings, a fitness center, and the mail room, to form a series of garden plazas.
At Windsor, guest houses, garden walls, and main houses all push to the lot lines, creating private courtyards amid the density.
This house takes advantage of a 6,000 square foot triangular lot.
Gary Hall
The L-shaped House at Shelburne Farms in Vermont orients to views of Lake Champlain and forms, with several nearby stands of trees, a protected lawn.
The Sideyard House type (1990-91) makes the most of narrow, deep lots. In multiples, it can use the blank wall of the adjacent house to complete its private courtyard.
The firm's talent with densely packed resort housing serves it well in breaking down the mass of large custom home programs, such as this compound in Buzzard's Bay.
Danny Turner
The cottages were Merrill's first explorations into the power of repeated form.
Even though he's a card-carrying member of several classical design organizations, Merrill isn't interested in cloning the past. He began his career in Washington, D.C., working for top firms McCartney Lewis and Cass & Pinnell, but he couldn't envision a happy future there. Extending, remodeling, and reinvigorating old houses is the Washington architect's bread and butter; everyone chases the same kind of work for the same clients. Merrill speaks highly of his very talented mentors, but he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
So he decamped to Florida for the new town of Seaside, which offered the exciting opportunity to build fresh from the ground up. The now storied prototype for Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) was spearheaded with visionary zeal by developers Robert and Daryl Davis and designed by nascent New Urbanists Andrés Duany, FAIA, and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, FAIA. of DPZ, with consultation from traditional architect and theorist Leon Krier. Merrill served as Seaside's town architect for two years, completing among other projects the sextet of Honeymoon Cottages (1988-89). In 1990, he followed DPZ to another resort TND at Windsor and established his own practice in Vero Beach, but he returned to Seaside for other commissions, including phase two of the Honeymoon Cottages (1994-95) and perhaps his most perfect building yet, the Seaside Chapel (2001). The Honeymoon Cottages and the chapel (both winners of AIA National Honor Awards) make manifest the early concept of Seaside: a modest beach town based on vernacular building traditions.
Building new drew Merrill to Seaside, but so did the power and potential of patternmaking. DPZ's original vision called for just a few patterns, meticulously defined and repeated across the 80-acre site. The comforting refrain of pleasing building types would also make better design more attainable. The explicit pattern book meant a contractor could build a handsome house without an architect. But in a way, Seaside was a victim of its own success. Soaring real estate values turned it into a haven for the rich and an architect's playground. "Ultimately, the town ended up developing in a way that was unforeseen," says Merrill. "I was so enamored of the ideas that drove Seaside originally—the repetition of types."
What lured him to Windsor was the promise of exploring even more building types. He lured others there, too. In 1991, he hired George Pastor, AIA, fresh out of the University of Miami and the University of Virginia's master's program in architecture, both strong in traditional design. "I spent a summer working at Monticello, crawling around the roof as they were restoring it," says Pastor, who oversees construction of the firm's work. In 1997, Merrill made him a partner, and in 1999 they promoted David Colgan, AIA, a Notre Dame grad, to partner as well. Colgan now operates out of a small satellite office in Atlanta.
Through a mixture of speculative and custom residential commissions, the firm is exploring a number of house types Merrill thinks offer solutions for other densely planned communities. His enthusiasm for the right-brain wrestle of site, program, and budget is palpable. The 416-acre, gated Windsor is a high end experiment in patternmaking, but he hopes that repeating and perfecting its building types will make them more affordable in the long run. "Most people have to buy within a price range that can only be delivered through the economies of repetition," he says. "But we as a culture exalt singularity. It's unattainable. Our concentration on houses singularly matched to a singular person belittles the dignity of the repetitions of houses most people live in. Wouldn't it be valuable to take patterns and repetitions and ennoble them?"
For all his talk about repetition, Merrill and his partners don't simply replicate the past. Looking at one of their houses evokes that experience we've all had: You think you see someone you know at a distance, but when you get up close you discover a stranger. Maybe we should call it deja new. The forms and references feel familiar, yet you can't pinpoint the specific antecedent. This is what sets Merrill, Pastor & Colgan apart and yes, one might argue as Vincent Scully does in an upcoming monograph on the firm, what makes them modern.
Because, as much as Merrill emphasizes the clever plans and siting of the firm's house types, what stands out is the ingenuity of the architecture. It's deftly proportioned, beautifully understated, and, within a language we all understand, original. The path to this kind of rigor and invention wouldn't suit the lazy or flighty mind. It requires distilling our best-loved architecture styles to their essence—mapping their DNA and using the basic genes to build stronger, better organisms. "So many of the traditions are just about the pure joy of composition," says Merrill. "You have to take them and find out their root appeal and work from there. For instance, English Arts & Crafts and Shingle Style are all about joy in manipulation of roofs. You have to be careful about how you take them on. They can all be done in pretty bad ways. But there are endless way to configure things that are readily accepted by conservative clients."
"There are several good reasons for architects to be conservative," he adds. "Among them is to save your clients embarrassment down the road." Market acceptance is important to Merrill's firm, because it's important to both his developer and private clients. Beyond those exigencies, marketability means a greater possibility of implementing the firm's designs on a wider scale. "Architects say they want to do good by changing the very way we build and think about architecture," he says. "But it's reasonable to suggest that how you do good is through incremental improvement leveraged over multiple projects." The goal feels even more imperative given Florida's unprecedented building boom, which has advanced largely without direct contribution from architects.
"We have to deal with tremendous numbers," he explains. "So much energy is spent on transformational change. But certain patterns make sense for money or for climate reasons. That's what makes it interesting to return to the courtyard house again and again."
Despite its accomplishments in the realm of multiples, the firm is building a portfolio of sumptuous one-off custom homes. The freedom is almost disorienting after so many years dotting the i's and crossing the t's of DPZ's master plans, but it's also exhilarating. "Everything in Windsor is orthogonal, so to have a sloped site where the site section is integral is great," says Merrill. "But the funny things is, even with a 90-acre site, you still run up against the setbacks and wish for more space."
The private clients with beautiful parcels of land bring new possibilities for invention—and trips out of Vero Beach. So, too, does the firm's occasional institutional and commercial work. But in general, the challenge in those projects is to add value to something already desirable. What appeals most to Merrill is to take a building lot—or even a whole community—and create something valuable out of nothing. "Windsor was a grapefruit grove, other than that there was nothing at all interesting about the site," he says. "We often inherit a featureless site. The specificity comes with the lot configuration, the clientele, the program. That is modern."

Nothing directed at you, Walkera just makes me so angry sometimes. I know you upgraded yours. How are those KDS servos BTW? I remember hearing bad things about KDS at one point. At least about their helicopters. But i think they have a new game plan now a days. Are you flying 3D at all? I'm curious about the ability of the servos that are available to work with the 2703. Do they have replacement gears and servo horns available? Because it seems like the available options are pretty limited with the 2703. I think Emax also has a servo that will work, but i can't imagine it's very good for a 450. Maybe a 250 though. Anyway, good job on your upgraded bird and fixing those motors.

Apphoard, does the light on the RX blink rapidly when looking for the TX? Does it at any point change to a slower blinking speed? Whats the RX light doing during the process? |

Good point... I was still half asleep when I read his post I guess.
In that case apphoard probably best to make sure you unbound the BNIB RX using bind plug and then reboot your RX and turn on the TX with a video showing the TX and RX lamp if possible. |

Here's a crash i don't think i could have repaired by morning. They were putting up a structure for a xmas tree. The rotor hit a cable and the heli pulled it's self apart in the air. Pretty damn good footage. Doesn't look like anyone got hurt.

so far the kds servos are doing a good job and work fine with the rx2703, i am only flying fast circles and eights and sometime a flip or a roll, but no hard 3d, i still have to learn a lot :-) I havent looked for spare-parts for the kds servos, but they are very cheap, so i dont think this would be necessary :-) |

I just can't explain how much my skill has improved because i can trust my helicopters now. Sure, even my V450D01 is pretty reliable now. Kind of. But the bigger size rotor seems much easier to handle in the high winds here too. I don't think i'd be doing high speed hurricanes by now if i had stuck with stock Walkera equipment, that i am sure of.

Holy crap. I think i rewatched that 20 times just now. That guy is so lucky, he was on the biggest bull ride of his life, lol
Those camera guys didnt even flinch. About 10 years ago we put a cell site on a roof top in atlanta with a helicopter. That was awesome and i wasnt even into helis yet! Im thinking of getting this, im not sure if i could ever make the switch to 2 finger control, but i do know this would be better than me holding it! http://www.espritmodel.com/transmitt...universal.aspx Quote:

I'm not really sure what the purpose of that TX tray is? It seems like the neck strap does the same thing? At least with my DX8 it's perfect on the neck strap. But Walkera does not put their neck strap eyelet in the right place for TX CG (lol). So you have to buy one of those little $9 CNC extension arms to move the attachment point so the TX hangs balanced. I don't use one with mine. But i keep thinking about getting one for my 2801-pro.

i had 2 crashes in 2 hours on my v450 on saturday.....after the first crash, i rushed home n tried fixing it....half way thru it my hand got strike by the tail blades.....for 5 minutes my hand was numb and i thought i've cut the tendons as i coulnd't move my fingers at all.....i wiped off the blood and had a closer look....it was alright...just surface cut.....thought i might needed stitches that evening but the bleeding stopped eventually....so i was fixing it when i was bleeding....all well....and got it hover again....in the back yard at 9:30pm....when it was dark....the heli when up and i lost sighs....shouldn't have tested it with throttle up.....i panicked pulled it back quickly and it came back so fast that i hit the pillar....with the blades chopping off a piece of brick out....that's it for the night....the 2nd pair of blades lasted 20 seconds and now my v450 is just sitting on the bench....not able to fly again as the blade holder ball link was snapped....
i went back flying again with my tarot, 120d02 (3axis) and 250 dfc on sunday morning and crashed 2 on inverted flights and the 120d02s gyro is broken after a head on landing on the ground.....that's it ...my heli life for the week is done.....no parts no fixing, no flying....it is a really down moment.....i still have 2 6-axis d02s but i dont like flying the 6-axis... at times i'm thinking if i should just stop flying....have u guys experience any down moments like this....? |
Dec 18, 2012, 01:05 AM | ||||||||||||||||||
Okay, those are old. But here is a few from just in the last month or so.
Uh, yeah well you get the idea, because honestly.... I can keep going. My advise to you is to calm down a little. Don't rush so much to get out there to fly. Because... Well, you know the result now. I don't even think i have to continue. Also, supposedly, Walkera offers repair service on their RX. Since you broke your RX on impact, can i assume you were not using a canopy? |

MARTIN, Tenn. – Reid Rickett and Mykaela Van Selus, both juniors on the University of Tennessee at Martin equestrian team, have been recognized as National Collegiate Equestrian Association second team All-Americans in equitation on the flat.
To qualify as an NCEA All-American, riders must have a 67 percent or higher winning percentage (excluding ties), compete in a minimum of five competitions in the NCEA format and have at least an adjusted NRS score of 85 for flat, 90 for fences, 80 for reining or 80 for horsemanship.
This is the fourth season that the NCEA has recognized All-Americans. The Skyhawk duo joins Kara Bergenty (fences honorable mention in 2012, flat second team in 2013) and Caroline Cramer (flat honorable mention in 2011) as UT Martin's equestrian All-Americans.
A native of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Rickett posted a 9-4 record in equitation on the flat this season. She recorded an average score of 78.3 with a season-high total of 95 at Auburn on Oct. 19. She tallied three MOP's – all against ranked equestrian heavyweights (at Baylor, at Auburn and against Georgia).
Van Selus has recorded a 9-3-1 record in equitation on the flat so far in 2013-14. The Littleton, Colo. native averaged a total of 74.0 points, with a season-best tally of 87 points against Minnesota-Crookston on March 7. She brought home a pair of MOP accolades (against Minnesota-Crookston and South Dakota State).
The Skyhawks conclude the regular season with the independent championship this weekend (March 28-29) at South Dakota State. UT Martin is seeded No. 2 in the event and will take on Fresno State, Delaware State and South Dakota State.

Should you be actually in a car incident and need to submit a compensation claim, you need to make an effort to completely record everything associated with the accident. Whenever you can, acquire images together with your mobile phone or ask a witness to consider photos regarding his telephone to ensure there exists a report of your incident.

Vitamin C and Children's Health
Media Contact:
Jennifer Martin, CSREES Staff (202) 720-8188
May 17 , 2007
By Stacy Kish, CSREES Staff
Vitamin C is essential in the diet of all children, but it plays an even more important role to children exposed to tobacco smoke in their daily environment. New research suggests intervention programs should focus on healthy snacks, such as fruit or vegetables, to help mitigate the effects on this high-risk group.
Tobacco smoke has been linked to cancer-causing agents. In addition, research suggests smokers are not as likely to consume as healthy a diet as non-smokers. Exposure to smoke and decreased access to healthy food places children in a perilous position.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that removes free radicals found in cigarette or tobacco smoke from the body. Children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke need higher levels of vitamin C than the Requested Daily Allowance (RDA). This is the first study that evaluates meal preference and vitamin C intake in children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke.
Alan Preston and colleagues in the Biochemistry, Biostatistics, and Epidemiological Department at the University of Puerto Rico Medical School examined two groups of children 2 - 13 years of age. The groups included children exposed to low levels of smoke in their environment and children exposed to high levels of smoke in their environment.
In general, both groups consumed more vitamin C on a daily basis than suggested by the RDA. The low-exposure group, however, consumed significantly higher levels of vitamin C (21.0 mg/day more) than the high-exposure group.
The scientists examined the vitamin C intake of both groups during breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner to determine at which meal the greatest difference occurred. The researchers found the most vitamin C was consumed during breakfast for both groups, but the greatest difference between the two groups occurred during snack time.
An effective intervention plan should focus on providing children in the high-exposure group healthy snacks, specifically fruits and vegetables, to promote and increase their daily vitamin C intake. This project was part of a pilot program available in 15 states to promote fruit as part of the mid-morning snack and may be expanded nationwide to improve the health and well-being of all children.
The research findings are available in the book, "Passive Smoking and Health Research," distributed by Nova Scientific Publishers.
The USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (CSREES) funded this research project through the National Research Initiative (NRI) Bioactive Food Components for Optimal Health program. The NRI is the largest peer reviewed, competitive grants program in CSREES. It supports research, education, and extension grants that address key problems of national, regional, and multi-state importance in sustaining all components of agriculture.
CSREES advances knowledge for agriculture, the environment, human health and well-being, and communities by supporting research, education and extension programs in the Land-Grant University System and other partner organizations. For more information, visit http://www.csrees.usda.gov.

Everyone's pretending to be all populist and excited about having 10 Best Picture nominees for the Oscars—oh, yay, the movie I actually saw some of, but fell asleep halfway through on the plane is an Oscar film—but how is this thing going to work? The Oscars are already the bloodsuckingly longest show in television, more interminable than a midseason Padres-Reds doubleheader and a third as stimulating. Are we going to be forced to watch ten clips introduced by an ambivalent Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman or Sophia Loren? If we do, let's make these Best Picture introductions snappy and, more important, truthful. Here's a proposed intro line for the poor person who has to introduce each Best Picture clip:
An Education: A magnificently executed, brilliantly acted thing about something, not really sure, didn't see it, sorry, but don't get haughty now, neither did you. Moving on!
The Hurt Locker: A scary, cerebral drama about bomb-diffusing specialists. Ignored it in favor of the The Hangover for the third time.
Up In the Air: The movie that the guy at work will NOT SHUT UP ABOUT.
Up: Sorry, haven't watched a cartoon since Toy Story 2.
Avatar: Can't remember. Blue, shiny. Was completely and utterly baked.
District 9: Was completely and utterly baked—but I remember this one! Awesome. Wait—that movie came out this year?
The Blind Side: Not exactly Casablanca, but didn't fall asleep once. Okay, once. Twice.
Inglorious Basterds: Saw this one. Funny! Little long. That guy who plays the Nazi is good but Brad Pitt's moustache is distracting.
A Serious Man: Apparently brilliant; planning to watch 10 minutes of this on Showtime in 2013.
Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire: Sorry, ran out of words.

Trading requires mental toughness and trading is about deciding what action to take when faced with an adverse situation. These actions can be either positive or negative. We can choose to respond or we can just react. Usually responding is the correct course of action.
The week leading into the July 4th weekend was quite volatile and a lot of traders got burned one way or another, some covering their shorts for a loss or and some closing their longs on the way down. It is during these adverse situations that the true trader's character shows up; is the trader ready to call it quits because of the doubts in his or her trading skills or is the trader aware of the bigger picture of his or her trading career and able to see that the week of July 4th was nothing else but just another trading week? The answer is in the eye of the beholder. We create our own reality and we are ultimately responsible if we are just reacting instead of responding in any given trading situation.
This article will share a trade that has gone wrong and the double fix that was done to repair it. This content is written for educational purpose and it is not to be used blindly on any given trade that has gone wrong. We will follow the trade with a chronological presentation.
An iron condor was sold on the XEO Thursday, June 28, when the weekly options were listed and it was trading at 610. The sold legs will be the center of our focus, the 620 call and 595 put. That very same day the XEO tanked and it appeared that giving 15 points (610 entry price minus sold 595 put) of "breathing room" to the downside made sense. The upside "breathing room" was only ten handles. The low of that day was 602 and it seemed that by the expiry the sold 595 put could be challenged. The XEO recovered virtually everything by day's end, creating a doji looking daily bar. The next day, Friday the 29th the situation was different due to good news from Europe. The U.S. market gapped up and took off, threatening the short 620 call. It was at that point that the correct choice had to be made between reacting (closing the IC for the loss) or responding (choosing to do an adjustment).
Figure 1: Original Iron Condor Position
There are multiple adjustments that can be done on an Iron Condor and the option trader always has choices. However, keep in mind that every single adjustment is a completely new trade, and the trader who chooses to respond by adjusting the trade that has gone bad is ultimately responsible for the possibility of having an even greater loss than the original max loss of the initial IC.
The possible adjustments could be rolling the Bear Call up or rolling it not just up but also out, meaning to another option cycle, or selling another Bull Put below the current price, or placing an Iron Condor outside of the already existing one, plus so many other possibilities. The adjustment that I chose on this particular trade was placing a Butterfly within the IC. Once again, this response was NOT done blindly. [There were other Iron Condors that were open on the same option cycle, June week A, but on different underlying and these were not adjusted with a Butterfly. However, they aren't the focus of this article.] A Call Butterfly could be viewed as a combination of a Bear Call and a Bull Call.
Figure 2: First Adjustment – Opened a Call Butterfly
This first response created a completely different trade and did not guarantee a profitable outcome, unless the XEO closed right at 620 or a few pennies either side of it on Friday July 7th. As the market is a living and breathing thing, a second adjustment had to be made, two days later. Personally, I would not repair a brand new car that has been in two bad collisions! But that is an overgeneralization. If the second collision involved only a broken headlight, then an exception to that rule could be made. Likewise on this trade, the Butterfly was partially taken off by closing the Bull Call portion of it for a profit of 3.10 (original Butterfly was a debit of 1.00). It is important to understand the technical-based reasoning for the closure of the Bull Call for 4.10. The reading of the Bollinger Bands on a daily chart was showing that the price action was piercing the upper band significantly; hence, the forecast was made that the XEO was rallying right into resistance and was likely to reverse in a matter of days. Going into the July 4th weekend, the prediction was made that most likely after so many bullish days there was going to be a pull back and taking the Bull Call off was a logical response. On the same day, July 3rd the original 595 put was closed for a nickel.
Figure 3: Second Adjustment – Closing the Bull Call side of the Butterfly for a profit and closing the 595 put from the original Iron Condor
The remainder of the IC was left with the contract size skewed: two Bear Calls and one the remaining 590 put from the original Bull Put spread. The forecast for the XEO to go down proved to be accurate.
The low of Friday July 6th was 617.25, and the XEO closed at 620.20. The two 620 calls were repurchased for 0.30 each.
Figure 4: Closing the 620 calls
Looking back, one could make an observation that the second response (closing of the Bull Call part of the Butterfly) was unnecessary. But at the time that hindsight was not available. It is true that without the second response the Butterfly part of the trade would have made more money, yet overall the trade still worked out well. The Iron Condor netted $80 (1.45 minus 0.65) and as mentioned earlier, the Butterfly was profitable by $310. Responding (choosing to do something) rather than being forced to (re)act is a better choice.
In conclusion, when an adverse situation takes place and our trade does not work out, as was the case with this XEO Iron Condor, respond instead of react; choose to do something rather than being forced to act. Reacting can be disempowering. Responding is empowering. Keep that in mind when trading. Approach your trading from a place of confidence rather than a place of fearfulness. Scared money never wins.

Woman, Aged 40 in USA, Tennessee, Clarksville
Looking for a: Man, Aged 23 - 40, White (Preferred)
"I am only interested in White Men... Thanks."
- My ethnicity isBlack/Indian/Mixed/Native American
- Height5'2"-5'6"
- StatusDivorced
- SeekingLong-term/Short-term/Friends
- Body typeAverage build
- Have childrenChildren at home
- SmokingDo not smoke, but OK if you do
- DrinkingDrink socially
How would you describe yourself?
I am a independent, sometimes silly, affectionate, and caring woman, I am also very observant... Also another thing you should know about me; I am a blunt and straight forward woman, so if you can't handle a real woman, then I am not for you. My weakness is I am a chocoholic! Also, a majority of my wardrobe consists of brown and black, thought I would put that in there. The way to my heart is chocolate and anything brown and black. I have a minor pet peeve and that is a dirty house. I love to clean! On another note, I am an Aquarius. Which means i'm known to be inquisitive, stimulating and prone to rebelliousness, sometimes. SO BEWARE! (LOL) So one may think they know me but they really don't. Currently, I am trying to surround myself with only positive people. I have found that surrounding yourself with people that live and think in a negative way, brings A LOT of negativety and negative vibes in your world. This is why I thank GOD for blessing me with the chance to LIVE and be FREE. I have learned so many lessons in my life and I wouldn't have made it without him by my side. You only have ONE life, make the best of it!!
Of course everyone has their lists of favorite things. My list is straight and simple (lol):Traveling, hanging out with family and my closet friends, Dancing!! Oh my I forgot one of them sharing drinks at a sushi bar.
Once I find my match I would love to travel to Miami with him. The only reason being is because I have never been and it seems so beautiful there. There I know we can get some great seafood and then later take long walks on the beach or boardwalk.
I am looking for...
A MAN with a personality, some witty ways, short term and long term goals. I really do not ask for much but sometimes you have to be picky. They always say be careful of what you wish for and thats the truth. I love a guy who loves children.. He doesn't have to have any but be fond of them. I run my own business so sometimes I am working long hours and I keep a busy schedule. I love to meet a man who understands this and who is far from demanding. I am patient and caring and I love to cater I would be tickled if there is someone who is remotely close to what I am looking for.

10 Dow Dogs That Are Barking for Gains
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- For the last two decades, the " Dogs of the Dow" has been one of the most widely circulated investment strategies out there, offering a individual investors with simple formula to beat the market: Simply buy the 10 highest-yielding Dow stocks at the start of each year, and hold on.
So should you be buying the dogs in 2012?
When Michael O'Higgins introduced his strategy in 1991, it took the market by storm. Backtesting showed that the Dogs of the Dow strategy significantly beat the broad market from the 1920s on. The justification was that the big names of the Dow don't kowtow to market conditions, so their high dividends reflect strong businesses trading cheaply. But the strategy got a black eye during the 1990s, when it trailed the market by a significant clip.
>>5 Stocks Ready for Big Dividend Boosts
So should you be buying these names, or have the Dogs of the Dow lost their bite? It shouldn't have been a huge surprise that the Dogs of the Dow failed to beat the market during the bull run of the 1990s. During the tech bubble, staid Dow names couldn't possibly move as much as the more volatile tech names that were gaining increasing weight in market indices. While some market watchers have written off the Dogs strategy as a case of data mining bias gone awry, the fundamental argument for buying high-yielding Dow stocks negates at least part of that argument. The timing element of the Dogs strategy can be thrown out -- January isn't perennially the best time to buy stocks. So can the number of stocks in the mix. While the diversification aspect of 10 stocks is great, these names are defensive by their nature, so picking a smaller kennel of stocks isn't necessarily a bad option. But the strategy itself still holds water, and in the last couple of years, the results show it. The Dogs of the Dow returned 20.5% in 2010 and 16.3% in 2011, dramatically outperforming the broad market both years. Today, we'll take an analyst's look at the 10 Dogs of the Dow stocks.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Shortcut To Size: Phase 1, Week 2, Day 10
Back | Main | Next
Doctor's Orders: Plenty of Protein
I recommend you take in at least one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight each day, and even up to almost 2g per pound on workout days. Protein needs for individual trainees may vary, but this minimum ensures sufficient amounts with which to build muscle. If your bodyweight is low or if your caloric requirements for maintenance are high, then you may need even more protein than athletes of comparable size.
There is a lot of debate in the science community about whether consuming very high amounts of protein - around the 2 gram per pound mark - will result in more muscle growth. While most research suggests that you don't need more than 1 gram per pound, I still argue that those who train very intensely do need more protein.
None of the research on weight-trained subjects and protein intake involves the type of intense training that you find in a program like Shortcut to Size. When individuals who train at that level of intensity consume very high amounts of protein, they see great results as far as muscle growth and strength gains. I've seen it; my clients have seen it.
This is when I, as a scientist, step back from the lab and prefer to use recommendations based on everything I've seen in the gym. Eat your protein, kids!
Active Rest
Remember that every rest day should be an active rest day. Rest days are for recovery; they're not an excuse to be lazy. Get out and hit 15-30 minutes of HIIT cardio today, or perform 30-60 minutes of your favorite activity: hiking, biking, walking, playing a sport, etc.
