"Thinking about issues people don't talk about"
This is a book that there is just so much important information, that is simple not possible to get it all one single listen. I certainly will listen to it again.
I can name a few likeChapter 9 was The golden rule - don't do unto others what you wouldn't want them do unto you and its implications are not as simple as they seem at first. Emanuel kant's review of the law - treat people a an end not as a means. Chapter 11 with the master and slaves ethics and where the judeo-chistian tradition have taken their ideals from are also very interesting.
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing, for when I don't know what justice is, I'll hardly know whether it is a kind of virtue or not, or whether a person who has it is happy or unhappy.
Republic, 354b-c - On the last lecture
A book that all humans should listen to.
"Better than the first with some weak spots."
Overall the second book is better written than the first. There are less superheroes on the scene so there is better character development and some very nice plot twists. You can even learn a thing or two about influence.
But of course there are some things that don't make sense, like the most badass superhero becoming the damsel in distress. I really need to share my thoughts about one scene because I just couldn't believe the logic or lack of:
* Zap is locked inside the nuclear reactor. He manages to cross the glass barrier to reach the adjacent room where the doctor is but is not able to get out of the reactor room out because of the Faraday cage which surrounds the whole reactor?!
* Anyway it does not occur to him to take the doctor as a hostage, maybe vaporize a leg or an arm just to show how serious he is. And besides, a Faraday cage is used for protection against electric currents not against nuclear reactions of stars.
Oh and Captain America appears to save the day.
On summary :
Unexpected plot twists - good
Bad logic - bad
Unrealistic physics - bad
Zombies - good
Cool villains - good
So 3 stars
"Not as great as expected"
well written, there are good characters. The story is funny story but not likely to make you laugh.
To me books, movies etc... must have a meaning to them. Well I could not find any here other than remembering my not so great adolescence. Maybe I have to watch the movie to find out if there was supposed to have a deeper meaning to the book other than just a weird teenager talking about his life. Movies usually go straight to the point.
I don't want to spoil it, but Charlie is not a skizo as is seemed to me at some point during the book, I thought that his best friends were created by his imagination.
It feels like big brother on the first person, when you are watching the show you just get glimpses of what is happening since the producers have to cram a whole day into a few minutes.
*** After the end of the book update.
The previous paragraphs were written while I was reading the book.
Yes, there is a point to the story, but you won't make you fell better in the end. And you just really understand what is going on at the very end of the book
"The best history lesson I ever had."
Big history is not focused on a period, rather in all of them. As the name suggests you get exactly what you are paying for. It all starts on the big bang and covers all 13.4 billion years until the modern era.
To make sense of all this information, the author focuses on thresholds of complexity. The big bang, when the stars lit up, when new chemical elements are created on supernovae, and so on until the modern era.
Collective learning is the mark of humanity.
Among the many new things I've learned from it one that I wont forget is how the author defined what is to be a human (homo sapiens) and it is not using tools - monkeys can do that. Collective Learning - to able to learn and build upon knowledge from people who lived before you - is the key of the rise of mankind.
On summary, get the book.
"How does a cat saves someone from drugs?"
Good story, Great narrator - I even got very emotional a few times, maybe one of the top 50.
The story of how James Bowen met Bob is just one of those amazing tales you find in novels. James became so committed about looking after this one cat that it made him want to become a better person and drop his addiction. Becoming famous was just one extra; James is still cashing in because of Bob, but is not likely that Bob minds very much.
The narrator does a great job at performing naturally; it's like listening to a close friend telling about his life.
A laughed most times, got worried a few and had a few tears running down my face specially towards the end of the book. And that is not usual for me.
"Superman and zombies"
The idea of superheroes meeting zombies is original. The storyline is kinda boring. There are a few good characters but I did not feel immersed in the book as I do when I watch the walking dead, for example.
No big surprises and the good guys win. I just don't get why Zap just did not started to wipe all zombies from the face of the earth instead of sitting on a wheel chair. And there is no explanation about why the superpowers started.
"Too short for such important subject"
The most profound part of the book is the author's comparison of human and chimps. If we are genetically only one percent distant from chimps and can do some much more than them, what if we are to meet a species that is genetically one percent smarter than us?
Overall is a good book, but as it's shortness suggest contains only questions, not answers. Good insights as the one mentioned above though.
"Meditation 2.0!"
I'd definitely recommend this book. It's a biography and a meditation guidebook. It is definitely not a regular meditation guide though. There is no transcendental bu****it on it.
The author who is a reporter in his spare time (a popular one by the way) has a very analytical mind and tries to uncover what is truth and what is not in self help. He talks about many self help books I read in the past .Eckhart Tolle, Joe Vitale Deepak Chopra he interview all of these guys and they are full of s**t, Eckhart being the only exception;
The author is able to go straight into the most important questions about meditation, self help and controlling the ego. The closest to a mystical free of bias meditation teachings.
It is a biography as well. Very enlightening because I face many of the difficulties he faced as well;
One of the best meditation and self help book I read. Already listen to it twice, planning to listen again at least once every year.
"Good story and plot but slow paced."
Some terrible old evil awakens again to threaten humanity, but this time mankind is defenseless since it has forgotten the old ways (the knights radiant) and 'powers (soulcasting and surgebinding) which have been used in the past to combat that same evil. This is the basic premise of the story of this book.
There are 3 main viewpoint characters, Kaladin A darkeye, or peasant, Shallan Davar A minor lighteyes, or noble,, Dalinar Kholin A highprince of Alethkar. And a few other minor viewpoint character the most notorious of those is Szeth-son-son-Vallano, an assassin from the land of Shinovar who is tormented by the murders he performs.
The plot is compelling and despite its length (45 hours of so). I didn't listen to any other book before finishing this one. On the bad side, aside from a few action packed chapters where Szeth is the protagonist, the pace only starts to pick up at the end of the book (chapter 65 onwards – Sadius betrayal).
I find that the book gets very boring and repetitive especially at the beginning of a change in viewpoint characters. This is because the author had the necessity of remembering the reader how awful the character felt, how worried he/she is, and how miserable he/she is. To the point that before chapter 65, every time something actually happens, (a few pages at best) the action offset by much more pages of whining and depression.
I already started listening to book 2, and I recommend the book but if you are reading/listening ASOIF don't get to excited about this one, it's not the same thing, not even close. So 3 stars to it. If I hadn't listen the game of throne books I would give this one 4 stars.
"Funny, but definitely not original"
The book is funny, the narrator has a way to make the worst ideas the world has ever created. On the other hand there is nothing original about the book. I have already seen a lot of stuff in this book on TV. The author just made it in written form. But on TV was more fun.

Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries Top Picks from Steven Romnick
Posted by: Federico F
(IP Logged)
Date: November 23, 2011 08:51AM
Steve Romick is the manager of FPA Crescent Fund. In the latest Value Investing Conference, he explained that compelling investment opportunities are few and far between today. He places the blame at the doorstep of the U.S. government, which is spending so much more than it collects in tax revenues that it's building a debt burden that virtually guarantees tepid economic growth. And that's a best-case scenario. "We have a calm between two crises," Romick says. "Our children are going to pay for our sins."
This pessimistic view of the country's economic prospects has colored Romick's investment choices. He's building cash in Crescent and adding big, diversified companies that have emerging-markets exposure. He holds a conservative, high-quality stocks portfolio. His latest big investment is CVS Caremark Corp. (CVS), a Rhode Island-based drugstore chain and pharmacy-benefits management company that boasts $96 billion in annual revenue. The company has a clean balance sheet and top positions in all of the areas in which it does business, and it is likely to benefit from the expiration of patents on a variety of drugs. "We know we're going to make money on CVS" says Romick. "We just don't know how much." CVS, which is Crescent's second-largest holding, is representative of Romick's focus on an aging population and growing spending on health care, a theme that accounts for 12% of the fund's assets. Other big holdings include Walmart (WMT), Microsoft (MSFT) and Covidien (COV). But stocks make up less than 60% of the portfolio. At 19% of assets, Romick's biggest holding as of September 30 was cash. That the cautious Romick was not fully invested in stocks should not come as a surprise. Crescent has a go-anywhere charter, which allows Romick to invest wherever he sees the best opportunities. He can invest in stocks and all sorts of bonds. He can even sell stocks short in anticipation of declining prices. Despite the drag of cash in a mostly up stock market, Crescent has performed reasonably well this year. Year-to-date through November 21, the fund had a flat return, which is good in comparison to the SP&500 performance. Over the past decade, Crescent has crushed the market, returning an annualized 10.6%, compared with 2.6% for the S&P 500. Romick doesn't aim to beat the benchmarks every quarter. In fact, the fund's goal is to get long-term stock-like returns with significantly less risk than the stock market. In a market where risks are rife and bargains are rare, stepping back from the fray may be the best way to play. As the fund's literature says: "We believe the best way to accomplish our goals is to accept short-term underperformance in exchange for long-term success." I will review the stocks that Steve Romnick has most conviction about. AON: provides risk management, insurance and reinsurance brokerage, and human resource consulting and outsourcing services in the United States and internationally. Aon reported third-quarter revenue jumped 51% to $2.72 billion. Its net income was $198 million for the three months ended Sept. 30, which was up from $144 million in the same quarter last year. The company is expected to earn $3.32 in 2011 and $3.71 in 2012. The stock recently traded at $47.14. Its forward PE ratio is 14.13. Romnick has increased his position in AON at the end of September. Boykin Curry is extremely bullish on AON. He presented his case at the Value Investing Congress. He likes the fact that the stock has a free cash flow yield of 10%. CVS: Consensus estimates for EPS are that it will increase by 4.1% to $2.80 in 2011 and then by 14.6% and 11.5% more in the following two years. Of the 20 revisions to estimates, all 20 have gone up for a positive change of 0.83%. Assuming a 15x multiple and a conservative 2012 EPS estimate of $3.10, the rough intrinsic value of the stock is $46.50. This implies a 21.9% margin of safety, which I think is what Steve Romnick saw in this strong-moat company. Walmart (WMT): With inflation pushing up food and energy prices, Walmart will continue to benefit as the consumer looks for bargains. No matter what you sell, Walmart can sell it cheaper. That's the ultimate competitive advantage, and it should last for decades to come. This will become even better if WMT ever finds the right formula to grow outside the U.S. Walmart has increased its dividends every year for 33 years, with some annual increases as high as 44%. Walmart pays a 2.55% dividend. That sounds small, but it should grow fast. Walmart's dividend has increased 24.3% on a historical basis. Over the last five years, it's up 14.59% on an annual average. EPS increased from $4.07 to $4.49 over the past five quarters indicating an improving growth rate. WMT is expected to increase EPS by 9.5% in 2012. WMT appears normally valued based on its Price/Book of 3.03, which is between the consumer staples sector's top and bottom quintile values of 4.41 and 1.43, respectively. Microsoft (MSFT): A portion of Microsoft's huge $55 billion position in cash should be reinvested in organic growth for their business operations, and some for strategic acquisitions in the space. A large portion of the cash, roughly $20 billion should also be used for a massive share repurchase. The shares are clearly undervalued, so they'd effectively be printing money over time. $20 billion would buy over 700 million shares at current prices, reducing the outstanding float by almost 10%. The share buyback could be instituted over several years. Lastly, proceeds from this spin-off, along with excess cash reserves should be used to increase the dividend. Currently, MSFT spends about $6.72 billion on annual dividends. Given last year's FCF, their payout ratio is a ridiculous 28%. MSFT isn't a young company anymore, and shareholders deserve a larger piece of the pie. With FCF likely rising to $30 billion in fiscal 2012, Microsoft could afford a 50-60% dividend increase. Even after all of this, Microsoft would have over $20 billion in cash reserves, assuming no further additions to reserves from cash flows, and not taking into account proceeds from business spin-offs. Steve surely saw these facts and got attracted enough to increase his position in the last quarter. Covidien (COV): COV is an Irish developer of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and imaging products, and medical supplies for the clinical and home settings. Mega funds added a net $6.09 billion to their $4.51 billion prior quarter position, and taken together mega funds hold 45.4% of the outstanding shares, significantly higher than their 27.3% weighting in the sector. The top buyers were Fidelity Investments ($1.61 billion) and Franklin Street Advisors ($328 million). The top mega fund holders, incidentally also the top overall holders of COV, were Fidelity Investments ($1.51 billion), Vanguard Group ($878 million), and JP Morgan Chase & Co. ($870 million) and State Street Corp. ($841 million) with 6.6%, 3.8%, 3.8% and 3.7% of the outstanding shares respectively. COV trades at a discount forward 11 P/E compared to the 29 average for its peers in the medical products group, and it trades at a 10.1 P/CF ratio that is also lower than the average 10.7 for the group.

Current Time
Chicago hotels
Chicago is one of the country's primary conference cities, and the hulking hotels that line Michigan Avenue do fill up when a big meeting hits town. Before planning your trip to Chicago, check with the Convention and Tourism Bureau to make sure a major conference won't strand you in the suburbs. If one does, choose Evanstona leafy college town, 12 miles north of the Loop, where accommodations like the Hotel Orrington offer big-city style (1710 Orrington Ave., Evanston; 847-866-8700; www.hotelorrington.com). Assuming you're neither shut out of Chicago proper nor confined to a conference rate, there is a range of new-wave grandes dames that tower around North Michigan Avenue; the Ritz-Carlton, Peninsula, and Park Hyatt are especially glossy. Smaller boutique hotels, such as the James, add a more personalized touch to your downtown stay. Some recent openings, such as Hotel Indigo and the Avenue Hotel, have brought budget-conscious optionsand weekend prices hovering between $200 and $250to the Gold Coast. The best chance of finding a hotel in Chicago under $200, however, is at a B&B located north of downtown: The neighborhoods of Boystown and Lincoln Park offer a number of options.

Start: 7:00 pm
Co-presented with the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. An educational change consultant who is based in Washington, D.C. and was the founding director of the Five Freedoms Project, Sam Chaltain will discuss ground addressed in his new book, Our School: Searching for Community in the Era of Choice (Teachers College Press). "Sam Chaltain is one of the most important voices in public education today, and he writes wonderfully well. Our School puts a human face on urban education, showing us what it's like to be a teacher, student, or parent in the Brave New World of school choice. Parents, educators, and policymakers should read this book. The result will be a more informed and creative conversation about what public education ought to be, and how to make it that way." – Parker J. Palmer. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Seattle Public Central Library is at 1000 Fourth Avenue (between Madison & Spring). For more information on the program, please see www.spl.org.
Start: 7:00 pm
Published this past autumn to high praise in Canada, where it was shortlisted for the prestigious Governor General's Award, Joseph Boyden's extraordinary, historically-set third novel, The Orenda (Knopf), is finally being published here in the U.S. There are those among us who hadn't been able to wait, gone north, read and loved this book – and now get to put it in readers' hands here. Those who knew and loved Through the Black Spruce or Three Day Road will be delighted, as will those new to Joseph Boyden's work. "Years from now, The Orenda will be called a classic, but for now Joseph Boyden will have to settle for visionary, majestic, awe-inspiring. The prose is incandescent – and the cultural, tribal, spiritual battles are as gripping as anything I have ever read. There is magic in these pages that will convince you there is magic in the world." – Benjamin Percy. "A stunning, masterful work of staggering depth … it is like nothing you have ever read, and read it you must … The Orenda is a feat, an achievement [that] is impossible to read without coming away profoundly shaken, possibly changed." – Robert J. Wiersema, The Vancouver Sun.
Start: 7:30 pm
Co-presented with the SEATTLE SCIENCE Series. Published as part of the University of Washington Press' remarkable Weyerhauser Environmental Series, Reed College professor Joshua Howe's book, Behind the Curve: Science and the Politics of Global Warming, looks to be a major presence in the debates of the day, and in days to come. "Scientists have proven to be right about the causes of a warming planet, but they have failed to stop the warming. Stopping it involves politics and economics more than science, and in this important book Joshua Howe examines how scientists and environmentalists – although both live in intensely political worlds – have managed to get the science right and the politics wrong ... Few books published this year will tell a more important story." – Richard White. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.townhallseattle.org (1.888.377.4510). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Town Hall at 206.652.4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.

Chile made debt capital market history on Thursday, achieving the lowest ever yield for a Latin American sovereign, with a blowout $1.52bn bond, split between dollars and pesos.
Late on Thursday, the sovereign tapped the international bond markets for the first time in six years, launching $1bn of 10 year global bonds to yield 3.89%, a spread of just 90bp above US Treasuries. The dollar tranche was followed by a $520m equivalent deal in 10 year peso denominated bonds to yield 5.5%.
Investors flocked to the long-awaited capital-raising even with the record-breaking tight pricing buoyed by the scarcity value of Chiles sovereign debt, the countrys clean debt profile and its strong credit rating.
In June, Moodys upgraded the sovereign to Aa3 from A1, the highest in Latin America. Fitch rates the country as A and Standard & Poors A+. US high grade accounts snapped up the dollar bond and both tranches received $10bn of orders in total.
After embarking on a US roadshow early in the week, rumours were rife that the deal would be priced with a sub-4% handle. Anchored by an estimated $7bn order book for the dollar tranche, leads Citigroup, HSBC and JPMorgan secured aggressive pricing for the SEC-registered global notes.
The 90bp spread over US Treasuries and 3.9% yield took the shine off Brazils $825m retap on Tuesday, the lowest ever yield for a Brazilian sovereign bond. That deal triggered market cheers with a record-breaking 4.547% yield, a 150bp over US Treasuries.
"Brazils deal was great but Chiles new benchmark has the wow factor," said a banker away from the deal. The sovereign has not needed to tap the global bond markets for the past six years as the finance ministry had been buoyed by revenues from its copper exports. Proceeds from the bonds will be used for reconstruction after the countrys devastating earthquake in February.
With no bonds issued since 2004, Chiles outstanding yield curve is illiquid, so roadshow feedback, CDS levels and high grade European sovereign bonds informed the pricing guidance, said one investor.
A lack of consensus over Chiles theoretical yield curve makes calculations over new issue premiums highly speculative. Nevertheless, the 2020 dollar bond should be seen in the context of state-owned copper producer Codelcos 2019s that were trading at 3.95% mid-week, said a banker away from the deal.
On this basis, the sovereign priced its 2020s 6bp tighter, in line with the market expectations.
The illiquidity of Chiles yield curve also set off the surge in orders for the primary market deal, as it provided investors with a opportunity to gain exposure to a liquid sovereign benchmark.
But the reaction was mixed. "US high grade buyers were attracted to this deal because it offered a pick-up to low-yielding US Treasuries but emerging market investors were unenthused at the spread," said one emerging market investor that snubbed the deal.
Chiles globally issued SEC-registered bonds are indexed to the local currency as Brazil and Colombia have also done quashing fears that the product was no longer viable, as volatile emerging market currencies are traditionally a risky play.
A banker away from the deal said that fair value for the peso paper stands at 5.82%, when comparing the equivalent 10 year Chilean peso government bond in the local market with the peso/dollar currency swap market. On this basis, the 5.5% yield for the global peso deal was cheap for the issuer, said another banker.
This week, finance minister Felipe Larrain said Chiles capital raising heralds the sovereigns intent to become a more active international issuer, in both dollars and pesos. The governments estimated $8.4bn post-earthquake financing needs could be easily financed by the countrys $40bn war chest of international reserves and fiscal savings.
But the new centre-right administration has chosen to rely on a combination of taxation, new debt issuance, as well as savings.
US investors bought some 54% of the dollar tranche, Europe 29%, Asia 10% and the Middle East and Latin America 7%. For the peso tranche, 56% of investors were in the US, 33% Europe, 9% Latin America and 2% elsewhere.
Rising US interest rates should in theory lead investors to withdraw money from emerging economies so those in Latin America suffering weak growth. But leading debt bankers feel that the party has some time to go.
Africa has been on the cusp of mainstream capital markets for years. While the continent made a breakthrough in the variety of issuance it produced in 2012-13, 2014 looks like it will be the year when African borrowers finally become established
Falling commodity prices have hurt Mongolia's economy, which relies heavily on its abundant natural resources. Improving relations with China are helping it through the squeeze but the country has yet to show its true potential to global investors
Bank debt issuance across Asia is soaring this year, driven by the need to comply with Basel III regulations. Fresh impetus from China is set to send volumes higher still
Agustín Carstens, Jean-Claude Trichet and Henry Rotich, leading current and former policymakers, tell Emerging Markets why they trust the US Federal Reserve to handle the normalisation of monetary policy with care
Women's participation in the labour force still lags men's by 12% even in developed economies. In the MENA region it can be up to 50%. That is a wasted resource - and best practice examples show countries and companies that tackle the problem outperform
Something needs to be done to improve lending in the country. That's what competition should do… We're so far from where we should be in terms of credit-to-GDP

I've you ever thought of only thing most people think about when they are at the point of death?
See, I did today.
To be honest, I've been doing that for some time.
When I read about the death of the popular international motivational speaker and best selling author I ask myself same question.
It's been long that I've been reading about Dr. Myles. However, I only started reading his books just few days ago. I bought 'Understanding your potential' and 'releasing your potential' titles about 3 weeks ago.
His death is a great loss for the whole world.
What could have occupied this great man's death at the point of the plane crash?
I will assume it is praise and adoration for been able to touch other people's life positively through his books, seminars, and workshops.
However, it is not all people that will have such experience at the point of death.
Not long ago, I had encounter with a successful business man that has 'Terminal Disease'. The doctors said he has just few weeks to live.
I didn't expect anybody in this world to throw party upon hearing such news but at the same time I didn't really expect him to be unhappy because I know he has been blessed by God with lot of things average human being can ever desire.
He is wealthy. He has happy family. He his blessed with 4 kids. All of them are graduates. He has several businesses home and abroad. Two of his son head most of his businesses. He has really enjoyed a lot of blessings in past 3 decades.
When I ask to know why he his unhappy I was shocked with his response.
He wasn't unhappy because of the terminal disease. He wasn't afraid of death.
He was unhappy for his inability to give more of his wealth and time to charitable course.
According to him, he planned to earn a lot of money, take care of his family and spend rest of his life giving to other people.
What will you do if you have just few weeks to live?
If you are reading this post and you don't have terminal disease, you and I have great opportunity to make a difference.
See, I choose to help you and other subscribers more with your online business from now on.
However, I need your help to do that.
If you still read my email and read post on netprofitszone.com blog, I want to believe it is because I know something you can learn from.
Truth is, I do.
I know I've got something that can help you.
I want you to help me serve you more.
If you ever paid me for any services, ebooks, tutorial or program in past months or years click here.
If you've been reading my email and post for some time now click here.
Your response to the survey questions will help me in knowing how to serve you better.
To end this article I pray that the soul of Dr. Myles Munroe, wife and other victim of the plane crash rest in peace.
I will leave you with this quote from Dr. Myles:
Everything that happens in my life produce me, even the negatives, even things that I might have failed in, things I made mistake with are fantastic
classroom for me.And I believe the best thing in life is not to regret and try to change what happen. But to interpret it properly, maximize and use it to serve other people. That's what I want to do with my life – Myles Munroe
God Bless Dr. Myles.

WR's - Who will be in there?
From reading BB2W's injury report thread it looks like Morgan may get the start. How will he fair this week? Any news on the WR's for the Steelers lets post it here. This could be a key to the game this sunday
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
The questionable lists worries me a lot. There are a lot of key guys on there. Right now I am hoping as the week goes on maybe some will be upgraded to probable. Crazy to see our top 3 WRs listed as questionable at the same time.
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
Agree. Yuck
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
Maybe Nate Washington could be activated this week??
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
I am hoping atleast one of the starting WRs will play. Hopefully all. If it is only one Sean Morey, Quincy Morgan, and Nate Washington are avalible. If Quincy is fully up to speed on the playbook we could see him.
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
He has to be up to speed by now one would hope.
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
I think Ward and Wilson'll be in. With Wilson, it's just his wrist and he'll probably have it taped up and go in at worst. I dont think Hines could stand being out last game, and he knows Cincy's tough, so I think he's gonna rally hard to be in, and if he isnt, then Cowher's probably being very stubborn, or Ward's very hurt. I wouldn't mind seeing Quincy and Nate at 3rd and 4th WR. Give them a chance to prove their worth keeping.
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
When is Staley going to be activated.
He could be a pssing threat out of the backfield |
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
Staley is going to be injured all season, but can play if we need him. I hate that, because when he's healthy, he's even better than Westbrook at catching balls out of the backfield, and he's a brutal blocking back.
It's almost time to concede that he was a bad signing. We paid him pretty good money and I think he's played in 7 games so far... |
Re: WR's - Who will be in there?
I HOPE what Cowher's plan is, is to try and get into the playoffs, then use Duce in the playoffs. When Duce is rolling and healthy, he changes a game. We won't be the same Steelers with Duce in, and I dunno if the other teams'll expect certain things out of us with Duce in. It'll be interesting to see. I just hope Duce hasn't fallen out of favor with Cowher and he's being stubborn and not using him. If he's healthy, use him!

Jerome: We know what we need to do
Blues currently lie second in the table with two games remaining, while Sheffield United are four points behind with three games left. And Jerome, who came off the bench to score the winner against Watford on Saturday, is confident they can keep their destiny in their own hands. "We are four points clear of them and hopefully Burnley can do us a favour on the Monday," he told the club's official website. "But we are concentrating on our own games. "We know what we need to do and it is vital we win our last two games so we don't have to rely on anybody else and our results take care of themselves."

Massive global cyberattack hits US hard: Who could have done it?
Cybersecurity firm McAfee says it infiltrated a 'command and control' server with detailed logs of five years of cyberattacks against targets ranging from the US government to the World Anti-Doping Agency. McAfee suggests a country was behind it. Experts suspect China.
Cyberspies believed to be working for a national government for the past five years have stolen vast amounts of classified, sensitive, or proprietary information from at least 72 companies and government and nonprofit groups in 14 countries, with the bulk of the victims in the United States, a major cybersecurity firm is reporting.
"What we have witnessed over the past five to six years has been nothing short of a historically unprecedented transfer of wealth," the report's co-author, Dmitri Alperovitch, a vice president of Santa Clara, Calif.-based McAfee, wrote on his blog.
Targets of the information theft included the US federal and state governments, county governments, and Canadian, South Korean, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and Indian governments. Among other targets: defense contractors, the United Nations, prodemocracy groups, and individual companies in the steel, energy, solar power, electronics, and computer security industries.
What distinguishes this new report from others in the recent past is its level of detail, some cybersecurity experts said. In part that could be because the perpetrators created detailed logs of their exploits on a "command and control" server that McAfee was able to infiltrate.
"Closely guarded national secrets (including from classified government networks), source code, bug databases, email archives, negotiation plans and exploration details for new oil and gas field auctions, document stores, legal contracts,... and much more has 'fallen off the truck' of numerous, mostly Western companies and disappeared in the ever-growing electronic archives of dogged adversaries," Mr. Alperovitch wrote.

Land loss is ubiquitous, occurring both in interior areas and on the edges of water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico. Any solution approaching a large-scale or optimal restoration will encounter conflicts with navigation, flood control, oil and gas, and other land uses on the one hand and the need for large-scale redistribution of Mississippi River freshwater and sediment on the other. One of the most dramatic and long-term examples of this conflict is the dam placed across the Bayou Lafourche distributary in 1904 as a flood protection measure for Donaldsonville, Louisiana. While fulfilling its authorized purpose to prevent flooding in the city, it also reduced the natural flows of freshwater and sediments to the Barataria and Terrebonne Basins. Prior to dam construction, flows amounting to approximately 15 percent of the Mississippi River flows (Kesel, 2003) had nourished the wetlands and maintained elevations relative to sea level rise (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2004a). According to the report of the Governor's Office of Coastal Activities Science Advisory Panel Workshop (Gagliano, 1994), Terrebonne and Barataria Basins each lost almost 30 square kilometers (km2) per yr (11.6 square miles [mi2] per yr) between 1978 and 1990.
Thus, flood control contributes to land loss, and reversing this land loss will require reflooding the area in order to preserve human habitation and agricultural productivity. Because of the extent of observed land loss across the entire Louisiana coastal area, it is clear that the constraints of existing development and the need for a minimum amount of water in the Mississippi River will limit the amount and location of any restoration. An accepted constraint of the LCA Study is that the Mississippi River switching, as would occur under natural conditions, will not be allowed. Also, the minimum Mississippi River flows must be sufficiently large so that the industrial and municipal water supply for New Orleans can be maintained (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2004a).
An average subsidence of 0.25 centimeters (cm) per yr (0.1 inches [in] per yr) results in an annual volumetric deficit of 75 million cubic meters (m3) (98 million cubic yards [yd3]). For stability to be maintained, this volume must be replaced by a combination of siliciclastic and organic matter. Considering two ratios of siliciclastic to total matter (1:10 and 1:4), the two associated annual volumes of mineral sediment required are 75 million m3 (98 million yd3) and 18.8 million m3 (24.6 million yd3). Annual delivery costs, if distributed over the entire coastal area, would be $450 million and $1.13 billion, respectively, based on an average slurry pump distance of 120 kilometers (km) (74.6 miles [mi]) and a cost of $0.50 per m3/km ($1.05 per yd3/mi). The volumes of siliciclastic sediment range

The Next Big Conservation Tool? Pilotless Drones
A U.S. Army sergeant launches a UAV. Photo: The U.S. Army
Ecologists and conservationists have long and frustrating lists of hurdles that keep them from doing field work. Aside from the wild, dangerous miles between them and the remote regions of the world they need to examine, there are unfriendly governments and armed militias. There's the high cost and complexity of traveling to remote jungles or tundras. And sometimes the act of transporting oneself to a research site can actually hurt the research -- in the Arctic, emissions from gas-powered snowmobiles can skew the air samples that researchers need to capture.
Enter, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), remotely controlled drones, equipped with camera, GPS and a range of other sensors, that have long used for military surveillance applications. Today, conservationists, ecologists and other environmental researchers are turning UAVs to do everything from mapping deforestation to counting wildlife to collecting data in disaster areas, such as offshore oil spills or accidents at nuclear energy plants.
Falling costs and more accessible sensor systems are behind this trend. With funding from National Geographic Society and other groups, Lian Pin Koh and Serge Wich, an ecologist at the ETH Zürich and a biologist at the University of Zürich, respectively, have developed a drone that is customized for conservation work, reports MongaBay.com. They assembled their drone for just $2,000 -- compare that to $10,000-50,000 for high-end UAVs.Koh and Wich have already employed their drone, which is small enough to carry in a backpack, to conduct research in Sumatra. "During their four days of testing, the drone flew 30 missions — collecting hundreds of photos and hours of video — without a single crash. A mission, which typically lasts about 25 minutes, can cover 50 hectares," says MongaBay.
The pair worked with software developers, using DIY Drones open-source software, to create the program used to set the drone's flight plan via a laptop. If you jump to around the 30-second mark in this clip from their research film, you'll think you're seeing the view not from a pilotless drone by from a helmet camera on a paraglider. The drone uses GPS to guide its path. The films revealed sections of logging as well as stands of oil palm trees are planted on a riverbank, a practice that hurts the river ecosystem.
Greenwire reports that NOAA has long used UAVs to conduct surveys of ice seals around the Bering Sea -- an area "difficult to reach with piloted planes."
It also describes how the agency hopes its drones can settle a dispute it is having with Alaskan fishermen. To ensure enough food for the endangered Steller sea lion, "NOAA has placed catch limits on fish in the species' food chain near Alaska's Aleutian Islands. But the fishermen argue the species' declining numbers have nothing to do with food shortages," says Greenwire.
Currently, NOAA uses manned aircraft to perform surveys of Steller sea lions. But bad weather limits how often these planes can fly and because the planes fly at a higher altitude than UAVs, the images the researchers take aren't as good as those from drones. NOAA will test where UAVs can collect more, and more accurate, data on the sea lions.

Washout at Edgbaston
Rain ruled at Edgbaston as Warwickshire's Friends Life t20 Midlands/Wales/West Group match against Gloucestershire was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
Overnight precipitation at the ground was followed by a day of increasingly heavy showers which left pools of water standing on the outfield.
Even with a state-of-the-art sand-based outfield and drainage system and attempts to mop up by the groundstaff, the playing area was saturated, leaving umpires Nick Cook and Jeff Evans to abandon the match an hour after the scheduled 5:10pm start.
The washout gave Warwickshire their first point of this season's competition following Wednesday's defeat by Somerset at Taunton.

Some eateries can play off their names. Instead of the glass of wine (with purchase of dinner entrée) that Citronelle in Miami is currently offering, why not stock up on citronella candles and give them out as door prizes? Located almost right across the street, Magnum Lounge can get a light from the same wick and raffle off magnums of wine to lucky diners. The Mangos in Fort Lauderdale and Mango's in South Beach (unrelated restaurants) can be obvious about their giveaways, as can places like Bongo's Cuban Café in downtown Miami. A jewel in a bag of fries? It'd be like happy meals for the girl who needs a best friend. And any restaurant at all can hand out the booby prize of a cold turkey to anybody who ignorantly asks for an ashtray.
At the very least, chefs and restaurateurs can stop paying lip service to how much they really enjoy working with each other and admire their colleagues and embrace their competition and blah-blah-blech. You're a chef who truly feels the pull of community and industry? Team up and make a deal: Along with a check, instead of mints, serve your customers with a coupon for an appetizer or dessert at a rival eatery, and have that establishment return the compliment in kind. Now that's what I would call incentive -- for everyone involved.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:I'm very happy with this.
The most complete replacement housing I've ever seen for the DS Lite.
Perfect fit, great price, if you know what you're doing, this is by far the best you can get for this price.
None come to mind really.
Installation was somewhat difficult, but that turned out to be my own fault.
Overall, no real Cons for this.
The only other cases I've seen this complete have been on eBay, for $65 shipped.
And those didn't come in translucent colors.
If you know what you're doing, and you need a replacement case, get this, you can't get better for the price.
Get great weekly deals and offers like: Collections

Manchester United fan groups want end to sick chants
Two prominent Manchester United fans groups have reiterated calls for an end to offensive chants by supporters, with United away to Liverpool on Sunday.
The Manchester United Supporters Trust (Must) and Stretford End Flags group have urged fans not to sing songs referring to the Hillsborough disaster.
Must said: "We unequivocally condemn chants mocking the Munich air crash, Hillsborough and any human tragedy."
Ninety-six Liverpool fans were crushed to death inside Sheffield Wednesday's stadium on 15 April 1989 during an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has demanded an end to tasteless chanting.
The sides meet at Anfield on Sunday in the Premier League, in Liverpool's first home fixture since the findings of an independent panel investigating the Hillsborough disaster were published.
During Saturday's win over Wigan, a minority of United fans sang songs taunting Liverpool fans, leading to condemnation from the Old Trafford club - although supporters' groups insisted the chanting was not related to the Hillsborough disaster.
A statement on website stretfordendflags.com said: "During Sunday's visit, Liverpool FC will be paying respect to the 96 victims of the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy, following the release of new evidence last week.
Munich air disaster
Eight Manchester United players and three club staff died when their aeroplane crashed while attempting to take off from Munich. The team were on their way home from a European Cup quarter-final against Red Star Belgrade. A total of 23 people died in the accident.
"Stretford End Flags support Sir Alex Ferguson's calls for Manchester United supporters to respect this occasion and to further refrain from indulging in the type of chants that have been highlighted by the media over the last week."
United defender Nemanja Vidic has said he is confident the fans will show respect.
"We have shown many times in the past and I think we will be proud of them," he said.
"The big teams respect each other and we are going to play football."

Buenaventura Announces Strike At Orcopampa Mine
Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. ("the Company" or "Buenaventura") (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), announced today that within the frame of annual collective negotiations the Orcopampa Union began a strike at 12:00 a.m. on May 26, 2012.
The Peruvian Ministry of Labor has denied the proceeding of this strike at first instance.
