Aliens: Colonial Marines is finally finishedIt seems like we've been waiting an eternity for Aliens: Colonial Marines to see release, with the game having been expected as early as 2010. Today, a post on the Gearbox website confirms that the wait will only be a month longer, as the title has been certified gold and shipped to the printers ensuring the game will release on February 12, as scheduled. The game has appeared to have great potential every time we've seen it, so my hopes are running pretty high for the title. Of course, we'll have a review just as soon as is humanly possible. Why not check out the story trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines while you wait? Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

Smacktalk is part of the NFL, learn to live with it.
Look, here's the deal. Smacktalk has very little to do with the outcome of the game. It's all in your head.
Lots of teams have lots of players who talk, talk, talk. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose and it has nothing to do with what was or wasn't said before the game. It's life as we know it in the modern NFL. Personally, I'm starting to enjoy it. It gives me hope that our guys are not just a bunch of sleepwalking, overconfident drones. It gives the team a little personality. (Something the Colts seriously lack). Heck, the only personality on that team is Manning and that's only in his commercials. If you need a handful of quotes from a member of the opposing team to get you fired up for a game, you're not in the right frame of mind to begin with. On the filpside, talking a little smack probably isn't going to detract from your preparations, and there's the small chance you could get under the skin of your opponents, and I mean SMALL chance. |

For the next two weeks, prior to the beginning of the next BIG SURPRISE CHALLENGE, we are giving you free reign to HAVE SOME FUN, while creating mucho squares!
BUT WAIT! Hold your hat! Or should I say; HOLD – THE – HATS!!
We have learned from Ronda and her crew that they have approximately 3 hats for every potential blanket! We have been asked, for the time being, to please focus on squares rather than hats. Might I suggest that, rather than making a hat, you make 3 squares instead?
As you can see from the photos that Ronda provided, they have A LOT of hats!
Lots of hats!
....and more hats!
SO, let's work on our fundamental purpose, MAKING SQUARES!!
As always, the greatest need is for plain jane squares! But if you need some inspiration, here are some ideas for you!
Finish your UFOs (unfinished objects!) If you are like me, you probably have a few partially done squares hiding away in your cupboards. This is a great opportunity to finish up all of those squares that were started for a different challenge and never got finished!
Explore your creativity! There are limitless possibilities for exploring your creativity. Color is one of my favorite ways to do that! Where to look? A color wheel can help when trying new colors together!
Fabric can give you some great color combos; I love perusing the fabric store for ideas!
Pump out some major PJs!!! Wouldn't it be awesome to see stacks and stacks of plain janes?!?! Check out Susan Haines' stack of 88 squares!
I hope you have some fun with our "Un-challenge"! I can't wait to see what you create!!
*****Laurie Fortier has graciously created a Pinterest page for the "Un-challenge"! The link for that is here:
*****You can also find the photo albums for this challenge here:
Tags: 2013, October, Unchallenge, un-challenge
already working on it this morning I sewed together 24 small squares to make 6 8x8 squares my sister in law gave me a bag full of unfinished squares so sewing them together to make 8x8 then will post them off
That's terrific Ann, I hope you post some photos!
It is a bit overwhelming to see all those hats! I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with your new yarn Cherry!
Oh, Mary Anne, you are such a dear to lead us in this un-challenge. And your squares are so pretty! Anyone would be thrilled to have these in their blanket!
My favourites...circle in a square. I think they're very appropriate for the Square Circle! I find them much more interesting than normal grannies. I love the tweedy effect of yours.
Oh this is going to be so much fun... and relaxing at the same time. I have set my own personal Unchallenge. I've been staring at the balls of yarn in the photo below - all sportweight, so I'll have to use 2 strands. I'm going to see how many PJs I can turn this into (although if I get too bored with the orange/white/purple PJ thing, I may have to resort to some stripes just for relief)
Oh, very yummy colors and yarn! Your squares will go quick too, with two strands....I've really become fond of doing that! Thicker and quicker, LOL!
Or make a one-time donation:
Support early childhood education by providing the crèches with learning posters.
This photo shows some excellent vests with good body length and generous armholes. We are recommending having armholes 1/3, side seam 2/3 of total body length.

Today Vamos a La Playa welcomes Gigamesh for a very special disco set.
Gigamesh has been making his mark for several years in dance clubs around the world. In addition to lending his studio expertise to DiscoTech, he has had considerable attention for his bootleg remixes of artists like Lykke Li, Animal Collective, and Radiohead. Those projects resulted in being hired to remix Mike Posner's 'Cooler Than Me' in late 2009. The Gigamesh version was ultimately shortened into a radio single, and chosen to be the first single on Posner's debut album with J Records. It went on to sell over two million copies and hit the #5 position on Billboard, jump starting Posner's career as a top 40 artist.
Gigamesh is also a member of Señor Stereo, a disco influenced live-electronics group. They released 'The Unintentional EP' in June of 2010 on Slow Roast Records. It has been well received by DJs and dance music audiences.
Gigamesh will be throwing down some old and new jams on the WVUM Disco/ electronic throwback show which takes place every Monday from 5-7 pm.
Dress up in your best raver gear and bring your laptops or use ours for a serious voting session on the UC patio at UM. Featuring live music, contests, prizes & giveaways, including our FIRST ULTRA TICKET GIVEAWAY.

Final Score: San Jose 4, Carolina 3
San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - Joe Thornton scored a goal and picked up three assists as the San Jose Sharks defeated the Carolina Hurricanes, 4-3, at the HP Pavilion.
Since the Thornton deal, the Sharks have won five in a row and he has picked up 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in five games.
Evgeni Nabokov made 29 saves and Jonathan Cheechoo scored two goals as San Jose has won five of seven and eight of the last 13 meetings against the Hurricanes.
Eric Staal netted his 21st goal of the season in the Carolina loss, its first in three games. Martin Gerber allowed four goals on 39 shots.
With 6:39 remaining in the second and the game tied at 1-1, the Sharks grabbed the lead with Cheechoo netting his 11th goal of the season. Thornton dashed into the Carolina zone and from below the right face-off circle made a nifty backhand pass across to Cheechoo, who one-timed the puck past a diving a Gerber for the goal.
"I think the team has a lot of confidence right now," said Thornton. "It's been fun playing out here. You just come in and win some games and help out the team as much as you can. It's been all twenty guys, it isn't just me."
Nils Ekman gave San Jose a two-goal cushion just over five minutes into the final frame. Thornton crashed the net attempting to stuff the puck home but Gerber made the save. However, the rebound bounced out to Ekman, who slapped it home for the 3-1 edge.
Cheechoo netted his second of the game 32 seconds later, scoring on a slap shot from the slot and giving the Sharks a 4-1 advantage.
"He's (Thornton) just a gifted passer," said Cheechoo. "He always puts it flat for you. Just got to tee it up, and luckily a couple found the net tonight."
Staal scored a shorthanded goal, his third of the season, with 12:23 remaining in the game, making it 4-2. Staal controlled the puck from behind the San Jose net and, on a wrap around, slid the puck through Nabokov's legs.
With 2:36 left in regulation, Craig Adams deflected a Chad LaRose back hand shot past Nabokov making it a 4-3 game. The Hurricanes had three quality scoring chances in the final minute, but Nabokov stood tall to preserve the win.
"We threw everything we had at them in the third and we had some chances, we just came up short," said Adams.
The Sharks took a 1-0 lead with Thornton scoring his second goal as a Shark about four minutes into the second stanza. Christian Ehrhoff sent a pass from the point to Thornton at the left side of the net and he wristed the puck through Gerber's five-hole.
Just over two minutes later, the Hurricanes tied it up at 1-1 with Rod Brind'Amour's 10th goal of the season. On the power play, Brind'Amour snapped the puck on net from the right face-off circle and, with Justin Williams screening Nabokov, the disc found its way in the back of the net.
Game Notes
San Jose was 1-of-6 on the power play while Carolina was 1-of-2...Carolina forward Cory Stillman extended his point streak to four games, picking up an assist...Canes defenseman Oleg Tverdovsky picked up his 300th career point...The Sharks are 7-3-2 at home this year while the Hurricanes are 9-5-2 on the road...Carolina has dropped three straight and four of its last five at the Shark Tank.

There's nothing Broadway about this Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation, but the wow factor is still there.
A great treatment of the original novel, and one I revisit constantly.
Kids will be drawn to Disney's fast-paced version.
The most legitimately touching Disney feature of the 1990s.
The stylized physiques and movements of the characters in this exciting animated musical-romance-adventure are at once realist and fantastic.
Just as Disney animation has become increasingly impressive, so have Disney animated films become increasingly adult.
Highly enjoyable, great looking animated adventure that combines its touching storyline with plenty of wit and style.
A splendid, eye-filling adventure that harkens back in many ways to the 1967 animated version of The Jungle Book.
No classic, but very enjoyable.
There is not one frame of this film that I would change.
A technical marvel from Disney that shrewdly compresses and streamlines the Disney formula into a more efficient whole.
An exciting, accomplished work that ranks with the wonderful Johnny Weissmuller movies.
...one of Disney's most beautiful, most spectacular visual treats, even if the story line and characters are watered-down children's fare.
Simply a smashingly well-done example of animated storytelling.
A beautifully crafted, well-paced and well-voiced feature that will easily become yet another Disney classic.
The first half of Tarzan is Disney's best stuff since Beauty and the Beast ... [then it] declines into a typical showdown with a forgettable villain.
It's both a little scary and a lot funny, and kids will no doubt lap it up.
If only the film had taken a few more risks instead of hewing so closely to the patented Disney formula, it might have been a truly outstanding movie instead of merely an entertaining one.
How does Disney do it?
This film is beautiful, fun, touching, and exciting.
Audience Reviews for Tarzan
A greatly entertaining roller coaster of a film that combines 2D animation with 3D background to its best extent and dazzles us with thrilling scenes of Tarzan surfing through the jungle trees, while the classic story offers us a very nice message about acceptance and self-identity.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Edgar Rice Burroughs famous dream imagining of a human baby raised by animals gets the Disney touch (including a pop soundtrack by Phil Collins). Purists might disdain the pairing - as they've a right to - nonetheless the meld works in its way, for its target audience.
The animations highlight, no doubt, is the entire swinging-through-the-trees sequences, a mystique that has worried moms since its inception, herein cleverly expanded upon to include some tree/ice skating routines! Once you've bought the original fantasy though why quibble over the loss of any reality?
Super Reviewer
Disney has always been at its best when it allows the material to shape its storytelling, rather than the other way around. The fact that many of Disney's greatest works are based on fairy tales is not simply down to the inherent appeal or potential of these stories. It is because Disney worked hard to tell these stories the right way, playing the likes of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to their own strengths.
But as the company has grown and diversified, having recognisable conventions (for the purposes of branding) has often been a higher priority. This in turn has pushed the company into more conservative and conflicted filmmaking, where the many entrenched Disney conventions often trample on the material. Tarzan is not as disastrous as Atlantis in this regard, but it is another example of how the company's brand paranoia often comes at the expense of genuine creativity.
Like its immediate predecessors, Tarzan finds Disney attempting to apply the tropes that underpinned the Renaissance to stories that simply don't suit them. All the more marketable aspects of Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin or The Lion King are here, but they don't so much serve the story as tick the boxes of audience expectations. The two sidekicks, one a wise-cracker, one a coward, are clearly trying to fill the roles of Lumiere and Cogsworth, but they are as unnecessary and incongruous as the talking gargoyles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
There have been many different approaches to Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel throughout the history of cinema. At one end we have the Johnny Weissmuller films of the 1930s, which embraced the pulpy nature of the story and played up both the fan-service and the spirit of adventure. At the other, we have Hugh Hudson's Greystoke starring Christopher Lambert, which attempted to redress this portrayal of Tarzan as a simpleton, and interwove many characteristics of the Pocahontas myth.
Disney's approach is closer to the former, in that it emphasises the incredible physicality of its main protagonist. The film has a big advantage over its live-action cousins, being able to create incredibly dangerous situations on screen in which no real actors could survive. Some of the action scenes are frenetic, such as Tarzan's rescue and escape with Jane; the fluid camera movements compliment the agile nature of Tarzan's body as he improvises a way out through the jungle he knows so well.
The film as a whole is visually strong. The sweeping, painterly backgrounds were created using a new technique called 'Deep Canvas', which allows CG artists to 'paint' in 3D space; the computer keeps a record of each brushstroke made, so that the finished product has the glossy sheen of a modern film but the detail of a traditional painting. This technique was subsequently applied on Atlantis and Treasure Planet, but it is at its best here, with the painterly style complimenting the character models, which take after some of the earliest comic book depictions of Tarzan.
On a technical level, then, Tarzan is pretty impressive. But sadly the narrative of the film can't live up to the high standards set by the visuals. This is an example of how Disney's early-2000s decline differs from the malaise that set in after Disney's death.
In the 1960s less and less money was being devoted to animation, so standards naturally fell as the likes of Wolfgang Reitherman sought to save money by cutting corners. With Tarzan and its successors, the same levels of money are involved as earlier in the decade, but all the energy is being devoted to keeping the visuals great without the same level of concern being applied to the story.
To its credit, Tarzan does get the basic beats of its source material down pat. We see Tarzan being orphaned and adopted by the gorillas, being raised like an ape, and encountering his own kind for the first time as an adult. Both his upbringing by Kala and his developing love for Jane have a genuine emotional weight - though we have to put up with a lot of repetitive comedy to get to that point in the latter case.
All this seems fine, but there is one big problem with Tarzan. All of these events from the original story have been packaged around tried-and-tested Disney structures, so that it becomes less 'Tarzan, as told by Disney' and more 'a Disney film that just happens to have Tarzan in it'. The result is still passingly entertaining, but all the distinctive elements from Burroughs' story have been shoe-horned into marketable character arcs and archetypes, making the whole experience rather forgettable.
More specifically, this film is attempting to take the story of Tarzan and tell it like it was Pocahontas. The central relationship between Tarzan and Jane is constructed just like that of Pocahontas and John Smith, with an initial period of misunderstanding (in this case comedic) giving way to a vital knowledge of each other's cultures. Clayton effectively stands in for Radcliffe, as the blinkered oaf who manipulates the hero for material gain, and the Professor doubles up for Radcliffe's foppish sidekick who occasionally speaks a lot more sense than Radcliffe himself.
This misplaced adherence to formula spills over into other aspects of production. Phil Collins' inclusion on the soundtrack feels like a blatant attempt at recapturing the Oscar success of The Lion King (Elton John won Best Original Song for 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight'). Collins' songs are well-produced but completely bland and forgettable, as is Mark Mancina's Grammy-winning score. The whole production is forgettable, being so by-the-numbers that it never offends and never makes too great an impression.
Pretty much the only thing that makes Tarzan intriguing - or memorable for that matter - is that there are moments in which it does try to cut loose and carve out its own identity. Unlike The Great Mouse Detective, which never really hit its stride and made the very least of its prestigious source, there are a few select moments which are either very poignant or very funny.
The scene where Tarzan remembers his parents is genuinely sad, while the 'Trashing The Camp' musical number has hints of Snow White in its rhythm and comedic choreography. But both of these are never allowed to develop into more than moments, and as soon as they are over it's back to by-the-numbers box-ticking as though nothing had happened. Every time the film begins to show promise, it backtracks and takes the safe, boring or unfunny way out.
The performances in Tarzan reflect this feeling of creativity being forcibly reined in. None of the main performers are obviously bad, but neither do any of them make such an impression that they make the role their own. Tony Goldwyn and Minnie Driver are both passable as Tarzan and Jane, but nothing more: they make us chuckle but not laugh, smile but not grin. Nigel Hawthorne is phoning it in as Professor Archimedes (a possible nod to The Sword to the Stone) and Rosie O'Donnell is doing much the same - though she is at least annoying enough to be memorable. Most frustratingly, Brian Blessed is given so little to do that you'd almost say he was miscast. Clayton just isn't that memorable a villain, and Blessed isn't given the same room for manoeuvre that George C. Scott enjoyed on The Rescuers Down Under.
Tarzan is a boring disappointment from Disney, which looks as good as any of its counterparts but falls flat in all the place where it should soar. While the overall plot is less episodic than, say, The Jungle Book, it remains a film with several great moments which are so thickly smothered in Disney convention that they cease to be memorable. Disney would go on to make much worse films, but this remains one of the big let-downs of the Renaissance.
Super Reviewer
Aside from such lovely designs, another major highlight of this film is the adoring soundtrack by Phil Collins. His songs, especially 'You'll Be In My Heart' are very touching. Ultimately, lets not forget the superb voice cast for this film, from Glenn Close, to Brian Blessed, Wayne Knight and even Lance Henriksen. This may not be the greatest Disney film of all time, but its one that's more than worth returning to.

The amazing diversity of China's ethnic minority population is highlighted in the first site: The Minority Villages of Guizhou, China. The population of Guizhou is about one-third ethnic minorities, including the Dong and Miao peoples, and many still stick to the old ways of building their wooden stilt homes.Hide Caption 1 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosMinority Villages of Guizhou, China – The Dong people live in Dali Village, one of the Minority Villages of Guizhou, China. Although thousand-year-old architecture, landscapes and traditions still exist in the villages, modernization is slowly driving out the ancient ways. Hide Caption 2 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosCiudad Perdido, Colombia – These old stone stairs are part of the Ciudad Perdida (the Lost City) in Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve. The Tayrona Indians built some 200 structures throughout the Lost City between about the third and 17th centuries. The structures were discovered in the 1970s. Hide Caption 3 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosCiudad Perdido, Colombia – Colombia's Ciudad Perdido appears to be the largest of the Tayrona sites in the Sierra Nevada, and the center of the people's political power. The 200 structures of Ciudad Perdido include stone paths, plazas, canals, storehouses and the central terraces (shown here). Hide Caption 4 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosEl Mirador, Guatemala – Maya Biosphere Reserve in northern Guatemala, recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve, is home to the largest and earliest pre-classic Maya archaeological sites in Mesoamerica. That includes El Mirador, where La Danta, one of the largest pyramids in the world, is located. La Danta is shown here in an aerial view. Hide Caption 5 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosEl Mirador, Guatemala – The Popol Vuh stucco sculpture at El Mirador in Guatemala, shown here, is one of the earliest depictions of the Maya creation story, called the Popol Vuh.

Hide Caption 8 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosGöbekli Tepe, Turkey – Built at least 10,000 years ago, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey is thought to have been a ceremonial center where communities gathered for rituals. That's because the site, which is only 5% excavated, has no residential structures. Hide Caption 9 of 10Five endangered world heritage sites 10 photosGöbekli Tepe, Turkey – The T-shaped pillars at Gîbekli Tepe, Turkey, each weigh several tons. They were placed in circles, and a pair of pillars towered over all of them in the center. Hide Caption 10 of 10Story highlightsThe Global Heritage Fund issues its first-ever list of endangered sitesThe fund tries to save sites in developing countriesAn 11,000-year-old ceremonial site in Turkey is on the fund listEndangered cultural sites are the stars of the annual International Day for Monuments and Sites -- more commonly known as World Heritage Day -- on April 18.Some of these wonders are part of the Global Heritage Fund's first annual list of five endangered cultural sites, issued to mark the day and draw attention to the fund's work. The day was first adopted as a concept in 1983 to draw attention to the cultural heritage of communities around the world. Sites include a natural Guatemalan wonderland larger than Yellowstone National Park, Colombia's Lost City and medieval villages in the Transylvanian Alps.The fund, which works to protect significant and endangered cultural heritage sites in the developing world, named sites they're working to save from the impact of uncontrolled modern development, tourism and looting. "Many cultural sites are endangered, especially those in the developing world (regions where per capita income is less than $2 per day), and they languish without any international attention," wrote Vince Michael, the fund's executive director, via e-mail. "It's our hope that World Heritage Day and our list will inspire community involvement in preserving the legacy of these sites."Travelers' choice: World's top 25 destinationsWhy focus on these five sites? Some locations were chosen for their historical significance."Ciudad Perdida (in Colombia) was once a thriving center of political, social and economic power, and Göbekli Tepe (in Turkey) is the oldest man-made place of worship discovered to date. As awareness of these two sites has grown, threats such as unregulated tourism and looting could harm the sites," Michael wrote.The Minority Villages of Guizhou (in China) and the Carpathian Villages (in Romania) were included because of their important cultural heritage and traditional practices, "which are being eroded by modern development and industrialization," Michael said. "Finally, we included Mirador, Guatemala, because it is facing critical environmental threats -- ranching and logging have destroyed 70 percent of its forests in the last decade."More from travel'Walking Dead' town for salePalawan: Sailing's next great destination?'Walking Dead' in Georgia: Film tourism comes to lifePowered by Livefyre

Do we have the Federal Reserve to thank for the recent stock rally? The only logical answer is yes, according to TrimTabs, a research firm that tracks money flows in and out of the stock market. As I read the title of their report, I thought it might be a mad-hatter conspiracy theory, but the analysis is rather compelling. If they are correct, it could have significant implications for the longevity of the powerful rally that lifted the market from its March lows last year.
Following the cash
Here's the line of reasoning: U.S. stocks gained $6 trillion in aggregate market value starting in mid-March. According to TrimTabs, historically, increases in stock market value require a net cash inflow into stocks equivalent to 10% of the increase, or $600 billion in this instance. However, the firm couldn't trace the origins of anything close to that sum from among traditional market participants. The following table summarizes TrimTabs' findings:
Investor Type |
Buying Stock During the Rally? |
TrimTabs' Comments |
Companies |
No |
Net sellers of stock (share issues). |
Individual Investors (Retail Stock Funds) |
No (Insignificant) |
Net inflows to U.S. equity funds and ETFs total just $17 billion since the beginning of April. |
Individual Investors (Direct Purchases) |
No |
High market volatility and neutral individual investor sentiment argue against significant purchases. |
Foreign Investors |
Yes |
Foreign investors purchased $109 billion worth of U.S. stocks from April through October. |
Pension Funds |
Yes |
Anecdotal evidence suggests pension funds have moved no more than $100 billion into stocks since the rally began. |
Hedge Funds |
Unsure |
Probably not in significant amounts as hedge funds suffered net outflows of $12 billion between April and November. |
Source: TrimTabs.
If TrimTabs is right, we're far short of the $600 billion needed to fuel the rally we witnessed. But would a central bank intervene directly in its equity markets? Although unorthodox, this has occurred (at least) three times -- in two advanced economies, no less -- since 1998.
Hong Kong shuffle
During the 1998 Asian currency crisis, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) purchased US$15.1 billion worth of Hong Kong shares -- approximately 6% of the value of the entire market -- to stabilize markets. At the time, the U.S. Treasury and then-Fed chief Alan Greenspan roundly criticized Hong Kong's action. The Hong Kong government ultimately bundled the shares into an index fund that they sold to the public in the course of realizing US$14 billion in profits.
Last year, starting on Feb. 23, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) purchased 207 billion yen (approximately billion $2.2 billion) in bank-held shares, with a target investment of 1 trillion yen. Between 2002 and 2004, the BOJ also bought stocks as part of a 3 trillion yen-buying program, which it started to unwind in 2007 -- shares sales were halted a year later as Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Going "all in" on bank stocks
Comparing the two, the BOJ's intervention looks like the better model for a hypothetical Fed action. I'd be more inclined to believe that the Fed implemented a smaller, more focused operation consisting in buying bank shares on the open market to complement its TARP investments. Last March, with all eyes on the banking sector and bank stocks suffering devastating losses, the Fed could have reasoned that a turnaround in bank stock prices would have a significant positive impact on market sentiment.
In aggregate, U.S. financials gained $1.3 trillion in market value from the March 9 market low through the end of 2009 (see table below). According to TrimTabs' "10%" rule of thumb, that increase would have necessitated just $130 billion of new cash invested in the sector -- a trifling sum in this era of trillion-dollar bailouts.
Financial |
Increase in Market Value Between 03/09/2009 and 12/31/2009 |
JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM ) |
$111.3 billion |
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) |
$106.3 billion |
Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) |
$95.7 billion |
Citigroup (NYSE: C ) |
$69.9 billion |
Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS ) |
$52.7 billion |
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A ) |
$40.2 billion |
Total -- Entire Financial Sector |
$1.3 trillion |
Source: Author's calculations, based on data from Capital IQ, a division of Standard & Poor's.
Regardless of where the cash came from, one thing is certain: Financials led the rally. From its low, the S&P 500 rose 65% in 2009; the KBW Bank index eclipsed that performance with a 118% gain.
Ultimately, though, this is all just conjecture. I think the likelihood of a Fed share buying campaign is very low, and here's why: Both the Hong Kong and Japanese central banks publicly announced their plans to buy equities; if the Fed has intervened in the stock market, it has done so in total secrecy. At a time when the central bank is already facing unprecedented backlash concerning its role leading up to and during the crisis, this would surely amount to political suicide if it were to surface. I don't think it happened -- but I can't rule it out entirely.
Conjecture is fleeting, tangible risks remain
Either way, I've warned Fool readers repeatedly about the risks of owning low-quality, speculative financial shares, most prominent among which are three companies that are on official government life support: AIG (NYSE: AIG ) , Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In all three cases, the government's exit strategy is a mystery; on Christmas Eve, the U.S. Treasury announced that it was removing the $200 billion caps on the funding it can provide Fannie and Freddie over the next three years. The risks to the owner-speculators of these companies remain substantial.
The Fed's policies are creating a new set of tangible risks for investors. Motley Fool Global Gains co-advisor Tim Hanson explains why it's time to get out now.

The Ocean Kayak SUP Nalu 12.5 Stand Up Paddleboard Package includes your choice in color on the Ocean Kayak SUP Nalu 12.5, Carlisle Taboo Paddle, and a Paddle Leash.
Nice enough as a basic SUP. It is a hybrid which means it isn't great at either a kayak or an SUP. On the good side - it is very well built and doesn't need to be handled with kid gloves. It is also quite stable. Compared to SUPs I have rented this does as well - so yes I consider it a good entry level SUP. I like the hatch in front and the bungee straps in back when used as an SUP. As a SOT kayak- I weigh just a little over 200 lbs and the stern submerges when I use it in kayak mode. It doesn't respond the way I like a kayak to respond and maneuver, so I don't care for it as a kayak. My 12 year old son had never been in a kayak or a SUP and I put him on this and he was switching back and forth between SUP and kayak without any problem his first time out. So yes, it is easy to use and stable.
Great deal and board. If you are looking to get the most out of a board this is the only one that does it. Easy to use stable and converts to kayak as easy as just sitting down. We added the paddle holder and attachable seat to make the transition easier.
This kayak/paddleboard is the perfect solution for our needs! We have used a tandem kayak the last couple of years in The Bahamas but I was very interested in having either my own kayak or a paddleboard. With the Nalu, I don't have to choose. It is a great multipuropose board and I've already enjoyed it at our local lake. In fact, the Nalu was a huge hit with our friends at the lake and we spent more time playing on the boards (I got 2) than we did with the powerboat! I love, love, love this board!!!

John moved to Vicksburg, MS where he was coroner during the Siege of Vicksburg. I never have been able to definitively link David to the earlier Forneys. My brother just had a DNA test done and I would dearly love to extend the Forney line. Notify Administrator about this message?

overdrive to use or not to use?
This seems like it emptys my tank when I'm on highway with over drive on. Is this normal? I got a Laredo v8
Re: overdrive to use or not to use?
It's supposed to do just the opposite.
"An overdrive (OD) is a mechanism that allows an automobile to cruise at sustained speed with reduced engine RPM, leading to better fuel economy, lower noise, and lower wear.[" |
Re: overdrive to use or not to use?
It used to be instead of "Tow / Haul" the manufacturer would recommend turning off overdrive so there was not as much stress on the engine / transmission. In normal Driving you want Overdrive to function so you just need to verify what the switch means. Hope that helps? |

Year: 2010
Country: POLAND, JAPAN
Run Time: 118 minutes
Beneath the benches of a decrepit train station in Ukraine, between drunks and dog urine, you might find an adorable six-year-old named Petya. Petya, his brother Vasya, and their pal Liapa are homeless. It's not clear where they're from, but they have a goal. Poland is the land of their dreams, and they know that TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER. Petya is a tow-headed moppet with rotten teeth who cons bread from a doughy market lady and coins from a beautiful bride. Liapa has set up a military training regimen designed to get them safely across the Polish border by night. As the travelers make their way on foot or by train through sun-flecked fields of grain, one marvels at the beauty of a world where such children fall through the cracks. They subsist on bread and water, with the occasional chocolate or vodka if they're lucky. The sun really does shine brighter in Poland, and the fields there are dotted with wildflowers. But the grownups don't seem better at all. (In Russian and Polish with subtitles) B.B.

Commish's Court: The Dave Zastudil Project
Earlier this year, ESPN The Magazine got together a bunch of NFL players to take part in a mock draft alongside some of my fantasy football colleagues. During the draft, every single player, including wide receivers Roy Williams, Drew Bennett and Laurent Robinson had the honor of drafting themselves for their fantasy roster. Even linebacker Clint Ingram of the Jaguars was able to select himself, along with his defensive teammates, and can have an actual impact on his team's fantasy fortune. Sadly though, Dave Zastudil was not invited to take part, nor were any of his punting brethren. Even if they had been, the opportunity to select themselves would not have availed itself.
Every year in the offseason, I ask the owners in my long-time dynasty league if they have any suggestions for rules changes. Although we do tweak the rules a bit from time to time, we've essentially had the same set of rules for more than a decade. But every few seasons, somebody asks if we can incorporate punters into the mix and after a good hearty laugh, I explain why that won't be happening. It's not that I'm completely opposed to the idea. It's just that there's no good way to do it. Punting is such a unique skill, and it doesn't hold up to statistical scrutiny the same way rushing, receiving and passing do.
You can't simply give a punter points per punt or for each yard they kick the ball. Punters on teams with good offenses rarely see the field, while punters on bad offensive teams never seem to leave the field. Chris Hanson of the Patriots had 44 punts last season, and in four games he punted just once. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, Andy Lee had only one game all season with less than five punts, finishing the season with a league-high 105 punts, and more than 3,000 more yards than Hanson. Now, you can argue that Lee makes a better choice since he's likely to punt more than Hanson, just as you'd want to draft a running back who is going to get the ball 25 times a game rather than one who is going to get the ball much less often. But there's one problem with that: When it comes to punting, more isn't always better.
If a punter is kicking from midfield, which result would he prefer? A 41-yarder out of bounds that puts his opponent on the 9-yard line or a blast through the back of the end zone, resulting in a touchback? Obviously, it's the former. But if fantasy leagues award points for yardage, then the second scenario would be worth more. That would be tantamount to awarding extra points to a running back for a fumble. That's not going to work either.
So how about instead of using total yards we use net yards, which counts the change in the line of scrimmage from the time of the punt to where the opposing team takes over possession. For a kick that goes into the end zone, that will be a 20-yard difference between the gross punting yardage and the net punting yardage. Unfortunately, that's not going to be a fair assessment of a punter, either. Let's say you have Punter A, who, in a word, stinks. He gets off five punts in a game, and each time he either shanks the ball or punts it into the end zone for a touchback. He is hideously awful, and accumulates only 100 net yards. Then you have Punter B, who has three booming 50-yard punts, two of which land inside the 10-yard line and sail out of bounds without a chance for the other team to return them. But on the third punt, the return man catches the ball on the 5-yard line and weaves his way through the coverage, returning the punt right to the original line of scrimmage. This kicker also nets only 100 yards. For these two players to be worth the same to a fantasy team makes no sense.
In addition -- because not all punts are created equal, as we pointed out earlier -- we would award an extra half-point for any punt inside the 20-yard line. We'd also deduct a point for a punt being blocked. This should give you enough of a point-scoring variance for your punter so that the difference between the best punter in a given week and the worst could conceivably tip the scales in a fantasy football contest, yet at the same time not be such a huge swing that the punter would make a major impact on your final score.
I'm not sure you're going to want to play in a league where the possibility exists that your fantasy playoffs fate will rest on the foot of Dave Zastudil. But in the immortal words of George Michael, "If you're gonna do it, do it right -- right?"

Today I had the pleasure of being interviewed on an Internet based radio show called "Good Libations," which is part of the Food and Wine Radio Network. I had a nice chat with the hosts Debbie Elder and Karl S. Von Senden about how I got started doing Vinography, some background on wine blogs, and a few tidbits about what it's like to be a wine blogger. If you care to, you can listen to the show here. My segment starts at almost exactly 17:00 minutes into the show. Enjoy.

Smile and the world smiles back at you.
WHO I AM LOOKING FOR: Initial attraction takes chemistry -- it is passionate but short lived. A successful relationship takes deep compatibility -- it takes time to build between two people and burns eternally. I want to be with a man with chemistry AND compatibility. A relationship is about giving to each other, rather than merely taking for one's own interest. It is a safe haven where we love, support, laugh, grow and bring out the best in each other. It is low on drama, high on fun. This is the type of relationship I'm looking for. If this is the type of relationship that you are comfortable with, and/or feel excited about this kind of relationship in the near future, then we should talk. You would make me HOT with DESIRE if you are: MENTALLY MATURE -- you have a strong sense of self and actively pursuing things that would truly make you happy and fulfilled POSITIVE ATTITUDE -- you see the bright side of things at times of challenge and have the courage to resolve the issue RELIABLE -- you are someone your family and friends can count on PASSIONATE FOR LIFE -- you know when to work and be serious and when to kick back and have fun ABOUT ME: People say I'm like a Ray of Sunshine on a Cloudy Day. I am HAPPY, POSITIVE (glass is half full, always), PLAYFUL (I have many interests and enjoys a good laugh), LOVING (that includes accepting all your traits), FEMININE (like to dress as a woman but not act like a diva), PASSIONATE (there are more than few things that would make my blood boil), LOYAL and INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS (eager to learn everything from Aaron Rogers to ZZ Top). I grew up in the beautiful (but rainy) Pacific Northwest, where family values, hard work and the love for the outdoors are celebrated. Thanks for the foresight of my parents, and some luck of the universe, I enjoyed a very unique childhood with opportunities to perform on stage and on camera and travel. I'm an only child but I was taught the value of sharing and loving for those around me. Although my parents do not adhere to any specific religion, they taught me to treat everyone with the most respect, and to help those who are less fortunate. After receiving my B.Sc in Cell Biology and Genetics from a major university close to home, I flew 3000 miles east to the exciting city of NY to attend graduate school to make my career dream come true -- a career that combines my compassionate nature, helping attitude with the exciting world of medical genetics. Ask me about the interesting 7 week summer internship in New Haven, Conn where I experienced for the first time what it is like living on a top floor unit without A/C with 100F and 95% humidity! After graduation, I was offered a position so I relocated to the Sunny LA to start my career, as well as my life. The warm weather and good friendships I've built over the years just kept me here for over 7 years now. There are too many fun stories and people to account for, but I hope to share all of these with you someday. For fun, I enjoy traveling either locally or internationally -- visiting at least one international country per year. Currently I'm taking a dance class at a local studio and learning more yummy dishes to make so I can share them with the people I love at home.

Blackberry App World launched even though TRA limits access
While the TRA imposed a BB restriction effective this month, RIM just launched the UAE's very own BlackBerry App World. Some consistency here, please?
May 8, 2011 5:25 by p.deleon
Just eight days after TRA was supposedly going to limit Blackberry access come a new twist in the RIM and TRA saga. Yes, on May 8 RIM announced that the BlackBerry App World service has launched in the UAE. The service, which is available Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain and Lebanon, is an on-device app store which allows users to download BlackBerry specific smartphones.
Mohammed Al Ghanim, Director General of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of the UAE, said: "This is a great day for the Middle East application developer community. The TRA has a strategy to encourage and support developers in the UAE and with the launch of RIM's BlackBerry App World, we are eager to work with BlackBerry developers to provide the appropriate environment and assist them with accessing the required tools to create these applications. We will encourage the UAE universities to develop applications on BlackBerry devices".
It is just so hard to keep up with the TRA-RIM yarn these days, but Kipp has to admit those were pretty interesting comments from the TRA chief there, especially considering the TRA's most recent decision to allow only business which have 20 or more mobile subscriptions to use high-security data service. This in effect meant that companies with fewer than 20 mobile subscriptions would have had their BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) accounts terminated by end of April.
As we remarked earlier, the game of chicken between the TRA and RIM is getting harder and harder to predict. Why? Because BlackBerry is very popular in the UAE. In fact the TRA's most recent survey found the brand to be the smartphone of choice in the country, primarily because of its messenger service (BBM).
Considering just how popular the phone is, the TRA's constant and rather imposing restrictions on RIM services is just confusing. But not everyone is as cynical as we are about the matter.
When we asked our readers if they thought the TRA's BlackBerry restrictions were the last we would see in the UAE, a chunky 31 percent agreed with the statement, "Not Really, but I am not selling my BlackBerry anytime."
And while 19 percent were skeptical of any kind of progress between the two, 12 percent said they believed RIM and TRA are trying to work things out. Funnily enough, the majority of Kipp's facetious readers (38 percent) agreed with the statement: "It doesn't concern me. I still use a Nokia 3310."
But jokes aside, the TRA's serial issues with RIM need to be resolved. Sure launching the UAE's first BlackBerry App World service might just be a step in the right direction, but we hardly think it'll mean the TRA won't continue to cook up restrictions or bans on BB services in the near future.
