Boateng cool on City rumours
07 Jan 2010 - 11:52:51
Germany international defender Jerome Boateng has played down rumours linking him with a move to big-spending Manchester City.
The 21-year-old joined his current club in the summer of 2007 and talks over a new contract have stalled in recent weeks.
Boateng told Kicker: "There have been talks, serious negotiations, but we've not reached a conclusion. We have differing opinions.
"Now I just want to focus on playing. For me it is not about a definite transfer this summer. Hamburg is not a stepping stone club for me.
"Hamburg is a big club with who I owe a lot for helping my career. But I do not want to make a hasty decision.
"I am aware that I'll frequently see my name linked with clubs in the coming months, but I can take it. I am level-headed enough for this."

Palazzo Grassi & Punta della Dogana
Palazzo Grassi
3231 Campo San Samuele
San Marco
Tel: 39 041 5231680
Punta della Dogana
2 Campo della Salute
Tel: 39 041 5231680
Concierge.com's insider take:
The Venetian contemporary-art empire of French luxury-goods magnate François Pinault now covers the Grand Canal–facing Palazzo Grassi and the superbly restored 15th-century Punta della Dogana customs warehouses at the tip of Dorsoduro, across the lagoon from St. Mark's Square. Once an exhibition space owned by car manufacturer Fiat, 18th-century Palazzo Grassi was taken over by Pinault in 2005 and refurbished by architect Tadao Ando to stage major shows of contemporary art—most of it drawn from Pinault's own collection. Ando was also behind the makeover of the Punta della Dogana space, which opened in 2009. Critics complain that neither venue is being used—as initially promised—for shows of anything but Pinault's possessions, but most contemporary-art fans can find something to love in the selections from this mighty repository that go on show at the two venues. And the Punta in particular is worth a visit as a fascinating piece of architecture in its own right.
Palazzo Grassi open Wednesdays through Mondays 10 am to 7 pm during exhibitions only. Punta della Dogana open Wednesdays through Mondays 10 am to 7 pm during exhibitions only.

What is the AHVMF and how could it impact your Pet's health?
AHVMF stands for "American Holistic Veterinary Medical Foundation".
This foundation Supports Education, Research, and Scholarships in Integrative Holistic Veterinary Medicine.
The Foundation was established to receive and administer funds for research and education in all aspects of integrative medicine, especially as it pertains to that part which is called holistic, alternative, or complementary veterinary medicine, or CAVM. The Foundation concentrates on 3 aspects: scholarships for veterinary students who are interested in this branch of veterinary medicine, research in this aspect of veterinary medicine, and support for the use of and education in this branch in veterinary schools.
The Foundation was established to
- support students interested in holistic veterinary medicine

The Foundation is a 501(c) 3 non-profit foundation

Just like human health options, this foundation does the work to seize the opportunities of what alternative health can do for the animals.
If you have ever experienced a time in your own life that was realted to your health, I am sure that you began seeking knowledge in various arenas to find a resolve.
Perhaps you reached out to a chiropractor, acupuncturist, naturopath, massage therapist, nutritional consultant, herbalist etc. This is considered "alternative".

The foundation opens the doors for your pet's to have options that have been tested and proven that could have a significant impact to their health and well being. We all want that option.
This form of medicine has saved the lives of not only my own personal animals, but I have witnessed countless miracles since my work in this arena.
Inspiring stories about (animal) patients who have been helped by Integrative Medicine are available on their site. I encourage you to take a moment and read some of them. It will show you not only how important this work is, but it might just shed some light on your own animal's current challenges or ones that may come. http://www.ahvmf.org/index.php/component/content/article?id=56
Alternative Medicine gives more quality to a life and many times a happy ending.

John McCain swings right in desperate bid for political survival | World news | The Guardian John Ladd points to the piles of empty water and Coke bottles, a yellow blanket and numerous other bits of debris abandoned on his cattle ranch in Cochise county, near Tombstone, Arizona. The sprawling estate, stretching 10 miles along the US-Mexico border, is a favoured route for those making the illegal, dangerous and often fatal, journey to what they hope is a bright new future. Ladd recalls waking up one morning in 2004 and finding about 900 Mexicans milling about on his land. "You could not go anywhere without seeing one and the border patrol was screeching around everywhere," he says.....................
John McCain is a schill ... he likes attention ... and his persona does not carry any weight in the political world ... in other words ... he is a strap hanger.
The Tea Party shouldn't allow him to join them, McCain can't be trusted, he should retire in Arizona and watch the illegal aliens taking a bath in his swimming pool, McCain is part of the problem of not keeping the illegal aliens out and so was Bush/Kennedy and the rest of those washington rats. PRAY FOR ARIZONA THEY HAVE BEEN INVADED.
Do we need Arizona? If we sell it to Mexico then technically we won't have an illegal alien problem anymore. Speaking of alien ... whu don't we call them illegal humans or uninvited carbon units?
Its sad that a good man, a good public servant was forced to associate himself with that knucklehead from Alaska and now has to change his positions to deal with a competitor who thinks the gay marriage 'master plan' is to make it so people can marry their horses. Senator, the people you've been representing have become unworthy of you. Retire and spend your remaining years playing with your grand kids.
Ahahahahaha, it's all Sarah Palin's fault. McLame is the ultimate finger in the wind politician. What's he stand for exactly? What are his guiding principles? This is the same man who pushed Amnesty on the American people, only to have to them throw it back in his face. I appreciate his service to his country, and have tons of respect for him, but as a politician, the guy is all over the place. Term limits please.
I love the fact that eveyone is trying to go right to survive politically. John McCain is a war hero and has my utmost respect. That being said he is not a conservative and I hope he loses the election badly.
Yeah, I don't care for Palin at all, but this was on McCain -- even if the party pushed it on him, it was his decision to cave. I once had respect for him, but seems to me his ambition overcame principle.
He never got my vote. As bad as Obama has been, I'm not sure McLame would've been any better. What a sad, and empty set of choices we had in November 2008. I'm with whomever it was who said they hope he loses this year. It's time for new blood. Term limits please!
Totally agree with CW here. What a pushover the guy was for the poison pill that was Sarah Palin. ANYONE would have been a better choice for VP. It was like the republican party was running a catch-up/reactionary campaign. Palin was supposed to be the cover for Hillary Clinton, and Michael Steele was supposed to be the answer to Obama for Black voters. In the end they chose people who had an exterior, but no substance. Voters responded. But....lets make NO mistake about the downfall of John McCain. It was the 2000 election, and it all went sour in South Carolina, when he didnt have the ballz to respont to Karl Rove and his "Black love Child" dirty tactics. Its a shame too, because McCain was a politician who was revered on both sides of the aisle.
Oh please. Remember that guy you were ball washing in here just a few short weeks ago? Scott Brown? You know, the clown who voted for health care before he voted against it?
The sad empty choices have been going on for quite a while now, Eisenhower/Stevenson,Kennedy/Nixon, Johnson/Goldwater, Nixon/Humphrey, Nixon/McGovern, Carter/Ford, Reagan/Carter, Reagan/Mondale, Bush/Dukakis, Clinton/Bush, Clinton/Dole, Bush/Gore, Bush/Kerry, Obama/McCain... There are a few bright lights, but mostly dim bulbs.. Totally agree with term limits...

Innovator of water-saving shower head is tabbed New Hampshire Startup Challenge winner
Bernard, 20, channeled those green goals into a new product, Eco-Valve, a shower head attachment that saves water, energy and money. The product was chosen as this year's winner of the New Hampshire Startup Challenge, sponsored by the Manchester Young Professionals Network.
But the soft-spoken Bernard knew he was up against a talented field of finalists.
"Did you see that presentation with the photo of President Obama?" he asked, referring to Inventioneers Etc., a Londonderry family team of electronic whizzes led by Tristan Evarts who have developed SMARTwheel, a steering wheel cover able to sense and prevent distracted driving with a light-up warning. During the Inventioneers' trip to Washington, the President Barack Obama was so impressed with SMArtWheel, he said he would like one for his daughter, Malia, who begins driving this year.
Strafford resident Jameson Small, a farmer and enthusiastic beer drinker, presented his business, Isinglass River Hops Exchange, a network of local farms that produce and process hops for the craft beer industry.
The MYPN launched the Startup Challenge in 2008 to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship.
Mark Kaplan, CEO of Alpha Loft, formerly abiHUB, a Manchester-based entrepreneurship center and business incubator that helped sponsor the Startup Challenge, said the competition was good for the contestants and the entire state.
Kaplan said the competition offered a unique opportunity for up and coming innovators.
"We want to connect entrepreneurs with seed capital," he said. "The winner doesn't lose equity in their company. This is purely an award to start something."
Each speaker or team presented different aspects of their business plan including their targeted market and potential for growth and profits.
Eco-Valve uses ultra-sonic sensors to detect the distance between the nozzle and the person in the shower and automatically adjust the water pressure. Step back from the nozzle and the water slows or stops.
Bernard said the prize money provides plenty of funding to perfect the Eco-Valve prototype. It may be for sale online as early as the end of this year.
"Water conservation is important for the environment, but our product is also going to help consumers save money," he said.

What this means for U.S. advertisers and market researchers, according to Jeff Bander, senior vice president of client services, is the availability of a cost- and time-effective solution to help identify key visual stimulants in advertisements and a better understanding of vital consumer patterns.
"Doing this with a webcam is really a breakthrough because when it was tested with traditional eye tracking machines, there was virtually no difference in quality and results," Bander said.
The studies measure consumers' visual responses to print, TV and Internet ads, as well as packaging. Currently studies are being conducted for Clorox to test the packaging of a new product, and a major magazine publisher to measure consumer responses to determine which covers to print.
Below are the visual findings of a recent online study conducted by MRC in which more than 400 participants, spanning four countries, measured 100 different online advertisements. Procter & Gambles' Pampers in Sweden was declared the most effective online advertisement.
Typical eye tracking services can cost $20,000 to $30,000 and require staffing and facilities, but the solution from MRC and Tobii costs about one-tenth of the price and is performed entirely online. Results are generally delivered, depending on the size of the study, within 48 hours, according to Bander.
After the eye tracking test, a questionnaire is administered for the user to rate their emotional responses to the products, levels of brand recognition and likelihood of buying the product, among other metrics.
Before expanding into the U.S. market, MRC's international client roster has included Procter & Gamble, Google, Group M and Clear Channel Outdoor.
Delivering honest responses
Tobii Technology, also based in Stockholm, is a manufacturer of hardware and software solutions for eye tracking and eye control. The company developed the eye tracking technology more than 10 years ago to offer people with speech and language disabilities the ability to communicate through a computer.
Bander said he likes to tell the story that was shared with him upon joining MRC about a woman who was paralyzed in a car accident and was unable to communicate with her family. Her family members would take turns visiting her in the hospital, and after about six months, the family got in touch with Tobii to set up a computer with the eye tracking software.
Once installed, the system tracked her eye movements and translated what she wanted to say to her family through a computerized voice.
"The first thing she said to her kids was 'Thank you. I love you all, but I need some private time,'" Bander said. "It was certainly an unexpected response."
Bander said Tobii eventually realized that the technology could also be used for market research. About 18 months ago, the company decided to develop and implement the webcam, and now sells the equipment and software to companies such as Procter & Gamble.
"There are a lot of research companies that own this eye tracking equipment. It is really the industry standard, but the introduction of the webcam makes it much more cost-effective," Bander said.
Multi-platform media publisher Bonnier Corp., publishers of magazine titles such as "Field & Stream," "Popular Science" and "Parenting," recently employed MRC for eye tracking studies of some of its properties in Sweden, including Sköna Hem, an interior design magazine, and Dagens Nyheter, a Swedish daily newspaper.
In the study, test subjects read the publications in both print and iPad versions.
"The findings showed us that the average time spent on a page was up by 35 percent on the iPad version versus a print page. The average time spent on ads was up 65 percent on the iPad over print ads," said Gregg Hano, vice president, group publisher for Bonnier.
Popular Science was one of the first magazines offered on the iPad when it was launched in April 2010.
"Having this research to validate the commitment readers have, and the engagement they want to have with the ads, reinforces that we're doing the right thing, and we need to keep moving in this direction as quickly as we reasonably can," Hano said.
Expansion plans
Bander joined the team to open the New York City office two weeks ago. Plans to begin building teams on the West Coast and in other parts of the U.S. will move forward in three months.
"Our long-term business model vision is really to white-label our product with other research companies and ad agencies, while still working with companies individually, to allow them to integrate the research and results into their companies' look and feel," Bander said.

Healthy Snacks to Keep at the Office
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, March 4, 2013
Morning and afternoon snacks (whether at home or at work) not only squelch hunger pangs, they offer additional opportunities to incorporate vitamins, minerals and fiber during the day, important nutrients that you can't always get in your average three square meals. It just takes a handful of ingredients and a little creativity to make gourmet snacks that will make you the envy of the office. Just remember this when planning: Including fiber and protein in your snacks will keep you satisfied for hours (not true of a candy bar or handful of pretzels).
Healthy Snacks to Keep in the Office:
Note: Some snacks require a refrigerator, freezer or ice pack, but they are well worth it.
Roasted red pepper hummus with cut-up bell peppers and zucchini, baby carrots and cherry tomatoes
Frozen grapes dipped in lowfat vanilla yogurt (freeze grapes the night before)
Pumpernickel bread squares with spreadable herbed cheese (such as Boursin or Alouette)
Olive tapenade on whole-wheat pita, whole-grain crackers or a whole-wheat sandwich thin
Part-skim ricotta cheese mixed with diced oil-packed sundried tomatoes and fresh basil; spread on Triscuits or whole-grain crackers or served with whole-wheat pretzels
Light vegetable cream cheese stuffed into mini sweet peppers (also known as vine sweet mini peppers)
Mixed unsalted nuts with dried cherries or dried cranberries
Dried mango and pineapple dipped in lowfat lime or lemon yogurt
Instant oatmeal with slivered almonds
Sliced apples dipped in nut butter (peanut, almond, pine nut, pecan, cashew, pistachio, macadamia, hazelnut, Brazil) or seed butter (hemp, sesame, pumpkin, apricot)
Fresh green beans dipped in lowfat herbed cheese (like Laughing Cow)

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working on a video series. Last night I put together the first video and posted it on youtube.
Its targeted towards people who live in apartments and have limited resources to grow a small garden.
Keep in mind, the targeted niche for this type of video, are people who wish to prepare themselves and their family for a disaster.
Hopefully this series will span about 4 - 6 weeks with weekly updates. The video has received about 648 views in the past 16 - 17 hours.

Nice video, good luck to you for your Video marketing!
Nice video. I also plan to do several videos. My expertise is in wilderness survival, but urban survival certainly is popular right now.
Which video camera are you using? The video quality is pretty good.
The sound is a little hollow, but it is not bad. You might want to try using a lapel microphone. They usually come with a 20 or 30 foot cord and are easy to conceal.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin
I use three cameras to film - depending on what I'am doing.
Canon SD750 - point and shoot. It films at 640X480 - 30 frames a second
Canon D10 - point and shoot water resistant camera for filming in poor weather conditions. It films in 640X480 - 30 frames a second.
JVC GZ-MS120R - for widescreen videos.
I need to get a lapel mic, but it needs to be the kind that records the audio so it can be imported with the video editing software. A lot of the stuff I do is outside, and a wire would just get in the way. And the cameras I am using, they do not have a mic plug in anyway.
For editing the video, I use windows movie maker.
I'm not yet very experienced with video production. I just picked up the new Kodak Zi8 pocket camcorder. Full 1080p with image stabilization. What I like is that it is one of the few pocket camcorders with removable storage media. A 32GB SDHC card will give you 10 hours of video at 720p. It does have a jack for an external microphone.
I picked up an Audio-Technica ATR3350 lapel mic, but I have not yet used it. If my video projects go well, I will probably invest in a full sized camera and a wireless mic.

Whats going on everyone? Just thought I share some things I've been doing in school. I'm a marketing major in my junior year of college. Currently one of my classes is business ethics. Our second presentation of the semester we had to select a real world case and with a minimum of ten sources compile enough material for a ten minute presentation. So, I figured why not do something I love best and be able to share my passion with the class. When I got my topic approved by my teacher her words were, "thats exactly what we need, guns in the workplace but I'll listen to any argument with evidence." So I used the weyerhauser case in valiant, oklahoma as a basis. Twelve employees were found after a canine sweep of the parking lot turned up guns in vehicles, many which were hunting or utilitarian firearms used on a farm. From there I just kind of ran with it. My proposition, allowing concealed permit carriers to carry in the workplace. I disproved myths such as intimidation by showing a video of someone carrying concealed and one could not see them carrying. As well as statisics from my state of north carolina showing exactly how many permits were approved and revoked since 1995. Then a few tidbits at the end to keep in mind. As well as explaining the overall decline of workplace violence but increase of active shooters.
My presentation was warmly accepted. Many of my classmates said I was the only person presenting that held their attention the entire presentation. They also said my professor was extremely interested and I received a grade of 99. I'm am going to try and upload the powerpoint. Bear in mind, the powerpoint is simply an outline of my general thoughts and ideas I wanted to cover. I used it as a guide and expounded upon each idea. Tell me what you all think. It has been an opportunity to invite several classmates to the range and educate them on the laws as well.
*I had to upload the ppt slides in a video format. There is a slide with a rectangle with an x through it. That slide was a video of someone demonstrating a crossbreed supertuck. Showing how a properly concealed gun can not be seen easily.

Why is Warren Buffet loading up on IBM stock?
Warren Buffet has avoided technology stocks – until now. Why is Warren Buffet spending $10.7 billion on IBM stock?
REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/Files
Warren Buffett said his Berkshire Hathaway Inc has accumulated a 5.5 percent stake in IBM, the billionaire investor's biggest bet in the technology field he has historically shunned.
Buffett said he was convinced by IBM's long-term roadmap and by its entrenched position with major businesses -- part of the durable competitive advantage that he looks for when investing in a company.
"I don't know of any large company that really has been as specific on what they intend to do and how they intend to do it as IBM," Buffett told CNBC in an interview on Monday.
The move puts Buffett's money squarely in the heart of the technology industry, a sector he has steadfastly avoided on the grounds he simply did not understand it.
One long-term Berkshire investor said the investment was a global play.
"More confirm(ation) that he sees international as more important," said Michael Yoshikami, chief executive of wealth manager YCMNET Advisers, which manages about $1 billion and holds Berkshire shares.
Buffett said he had bought about 64 million shares of IBM, paying $10.7 billion. Berkshire started buying the shares in March, with a goal of building a $10 billion position, he said.
Buffett said IBM did not know that he was building a stake and that the company was finding out about his investment for the first time as he disclosed it on television.
An IBM spokesman declined to comment.
Buffett said he has always looked at IBM's annual report -- his preferred method of identifying companies to invest in -- but this year "I read it through a different lens."
He said follow-on conversations with various technology executives throughout the Berkshire conglomerate convinced him to start building the stake.

Clean convenient and comfortable at a reasonable price
Breakfast area was a bit congested on the Sunday morning that we were there....could use a few more tables.
We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the suite and amenities it offered.
I liked this hotel a lot. I've traveled a lot for business and this hotel anticipated, rather than reacted, and it made the stay very easy. Thanks for that.
The TV controls were overly complicated to the point of being silly. I tried over and over to figure out a confusing user interface that led to not really being able to use the (2!) televisions to full potential. On/Off, volume, channels. Done Thanks
From checking in to the time l left it was a pleasant experience. From desk personnel were exceptionally friendly.
Hotel is just a few minutes off the turnpike, easy to find. Small, no-frills room perfect for a budget traveler.
The mattress was as hard as a rock. like sleeping right on the box springs. Tough to actually fall asleep for me.
Friendly Staff, Goo breakfast, nice room, Ample amenities
Everything was great from the pool, to the gym to the staff and clean rooms. We absolutely loved it.
Ice machine broken for two days. Loud people in hallway at 3:00am for more than 45 minutes.
expectations of the marriott courtyard reputation and standards were met. Very good.
Nice ambiance
The handicap room was narrow, but the bath was very nice.
the breakfirst is perfect and express check out.
Friendly staff. Brand new hotel. Great rates.
We always stay at Hampton Inns or other Hilton Hotels
This hotel was brand new. I think they had a grand opening appreciation dinner the night I was there. All staff was very friendly. Hotel manager went above and beyond to make stay pleasant.
Not a single thing.
Very friendly and cozy place.
There is not her I didn't like.
I liked the ambiance and the location of hotel.
I did not like the fact that there were no elevators in our section of the rooms.
I travelled with my niece, her husband and son; my nephew and his wife....And met another niece with husband and 2 sons at Homewood for a family wedding in Doylestown. All had a wonderful time at Homewood. The staff and service was friendly and efficient; the rooms well appointed; the breakfast outstanding; and the dinner an additional unsuspected surprise!! I shall stay again at Homewood should I need to stay in a hotel. Erika Crowley
Not much, alas--the front desk folks were nice.
The hotel feels like a Motel 6 with Hampton decor sprayed on—bad location (next to a train line--woke me up at 5:50 am) and lots of cars, and a in-room air-conditioner that was loud enough to keep all but the most dedicated of sleepers away from a good night's rest. There's a clear lack of competition in the area, which is the only reason this place can survive (or so it seems)
Good value, but it's just a motel.We thought it was walking distance to down town, but not in sub-zero temperatures
Low ceilings, Bathroom was older, carpet was uneven and creased
Room was clean and fairly quiet. Staff was friendly and accommodating letting us stay till noon.
They said door might stick and I had to slam it with my shoulder to get in. Turns out it didn't stick it was the lock didn't retract fully. Sink drain was very slow. Breakfast wasn't much.
The cleanliness.
Our room was over the main entrance and it was quite a bit of noise.
The Staff was excellent, and location
The smell in our rm, smelted like a animal had an accident
The Parking Lot!
The room was filthy. There was hair everywhere! The floor was very dirty. There was old food on the floor. The hotel is very outdated. This is not a guest favorite. This should not even be a one star. The breakfast was old and stale.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

In August 2011, I traveled with G Adventures on the Realm of the Polar Bear trip, circumnavigating the island of Svalbard in the Arctic—and it turned out to be one of the most amazing experiences of my life. In just one week, we were treated to so many epic moments: cruising through a massive ice field, watching a group of polar bears feasting on a whale carcass, navigating in between blue icebergs and so much more. To give you a glimpse of my journey, here are some of the highlights:
Watching a Polar Bear Approach Us
Our ship MS Expedition was slicing through a massive ice field when someone suddenly screamed, "Polar bear on starboard!" Everyone standing at the bow grew wide-eyed. I looked through my binoculars and there it was—the King of the Arctic. As the vessel moved closer, it stood on all fours and moved slowly towards us. It came just inches away from the bow of the boat, where I was standing, and stared at us for what felt like forever. I locked eyes with him and did not let go until he left. That was one of the most special moments of my life.
Observing over 100 Walruses at their Haul-out Site
At Torellenesett, we came across a haul-out site where over a hundred walruses splayed out before us, piled atop one another in a pulsating heap of biomass. Some of them peeked at us, some snorted in oblivion while others wriggled their flippers playfully in the air, seemingly waving at us. We spent over an hour observing the walruses in silence—watching them waddling clumsily on land and swimming elegantly in water. Frank, one of the expedition leaders, called out to them on the beach and many of them started swimming towards him one by one. Here's a video of the walruses.
Soaking up the Midnight Sun
Every summer, the Arctic experiences a natural phenomenon called the midnight sun, when the sun doesn't set at all. It was an extraordinary experience to be partying at 1am and seeing the sun still high above our heads. Going to bed with the blinding daylight was something I had to get used to, but I would trade anything to experience the midnight sun again!
Hiking on 14th July Glacier
Around 60% of Svalbard today is covered by ice and glaciers, and both were a common sight during our Arctic expedition. One of the most impressive glaciers we saw on our expedition was the 14th July Glacier in Krossfjorden, named after the French national holiday Bastille Day. From the bay, we weren't quite impressed by the glacier—it hardly looked imposing at all. We hiked up to the top of the glacier, traversing on the slippery ice and hopping across deep crevasses along the way. Once we reached the top, though, the view of Krossfjorden was definitely surprising.
Doing the Polar Plunge at Magdalenefjord
In spite of the heavy snow, I stripped down to my bikini for a polar plunge with my fellow passengers in the icy waters of Magdalenefjord, It was such a fun way to end our trip, and G Adventures even awarded us with a certificate. Thank god for the sauna on board the MS Expedition!

Retirement At The End Of A Rope
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 19:30"They were people with great dignity," Ivo Costamagna said of his neighbors who committed suicide in 2013. Romeo Dionisi, 62, and Anna Maria Sopranzi, 68, hanged themselves after Ms. Sopranzi's pension evaporated. "Romeo just wanted a job." But no jobs were available in the dismal Italian economy.
In what may be another case of research confirming common sense, a new study finds, in all four regions of the world studied, "unemployment was related to an increased relative risk of suicide by 20-30%." While the tragic consequences of ZIRP, bailouts, and multiple QEs have so far been ignored, a tsunami of suicides are coming as the under-saved American baby boom generation faces the stark reality of having to work until they die to survive.

The Internet Of Things: A Dystopian Nightmare Where Everyone And Everything Will Is Monitored
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 18:35Our world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and that opens up some wonderful possibilities. But there is also a downside. What if we rapidly reach a point where one must be connected to the Internet in order to function in society? Will there come a day when we can't even do basic things such as buy, sell, get a job or open a bank account without it? And what about the potential for government abuse? Could an "Internet of Things" create a dystopian nightmare where everyone and everything will be constantly monitored and tracked by the government? That is something to think about.

The Problem With The Forward EPS Hockeystick: Millions Of Americans Are About To Lose Their Jobs
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 17:54yes: the S&P may well be "fairly priced" here, if one assumes an 18x (rounded up) forward P/E multiple to be fair - a number which is above the prior 5-year average forward 12-month P/E ratio of 13.6, and above the prior 10-year average forward 12-month P/E ratio of 14.1. And in order to achieve that, not much has to happen: instead of hiring millions, America's corporations just need to fire about 2-3 million people in order to extract the kinds of net margin efficiencies that are already priced in!

Janet Yellen Is A Coward
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 17:30There is no exit strategy…there is only a continuation strategy... and The Fed's cronies have always known this. Yellen is simply paralyzed with fear that the markets will violently react to a tightening of policy. The Fed is being held hostage to the financial markets but, ironically, is in no mood to escape its captors despite so many clear opportunities. The lack of action, by Yellen, can only be described as cowardly.

A Who's Who Of Awful Times To Invest
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 16:30When investor preferences are risk-seeking, overly loose monetary policy can have a disastrous effect by promoting reckless speculation and enhancing the ability of low-quality borrowers to issue debt to yield-starved investors. This encourages malinvestment and financial distortions that then collapse, as we saw following the tech and housing bubbles. Those seeds have now been sown for the third time in 15 years. In fact, the present moment likely represents the best opportunity to reduce exposure to stock market risk that investors are likely to encounter in the coming 8 years.

"World-Leading Economist" And Advisor To Chancellor Osborne Busted For Smoking Crack
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 15:16One of Chancellor George Osborne's senior advisers on economic policy has been captured on video smoking crack cocaine in a drugs den. Prof Douglas McWilliams, who last year estimated we would all be £165 a year better off by the election, is seen inhaling it through a glass tube at a flat in North London. Red-faced and slurring his speech, he later told the dealer he had "too much" and that he had spent the day on a binge. Two rocks of the deadly drug can clearly been seen on a table beside the dazed professor. The grainy footage, seen by the Sunday Mirror, will heap embarrassment on the Chancellor and raise serious questions about his choice of adviser.

As Greek Default Fears Return, Government Considers "Borrowing" Pensions To Repay IMF
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 14:54Greek short-term default risk jumped over 300bps today putting the odds of a restructuring at 50-50 within the next year as the warnings we issued last week with regard Greece's imminent default on its IMF loan loom. Seeking to reassure its lenders (and avoid yet more capital flight), Reuters reports the Greek government said it was "exploring solutions," including delaying payments to suppliers or try to raise up to 3 billion euros by borrowing from state entities such as pension funds. We are sure the Greek people will be enthused when they find out what the 'radical left' has in store for their funds...

NYC Residents Pay $2-3,000 A Month For "Micro-Apartments" As Luxury Car Sales Outpace Regular Car Sales
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 14:29It's an oligarch's world, you're just living in it. One of the main reasons that hyper-luxury cars are outselling regular cars, is because all of the wealth gains from the oligarch recovery are going to, well, oligarchs ... Global policies implemented since the oligarch created financial melt-down, have been used to cover up its criminality, and further advance the status quo's consolidation of wealth and power. A continuation of this trend presents the greatest threat to liberty, free markets and an evolution of human consciousness on the planet today.

VIX Broke A Major Record Last Week
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/02/2015 - 14:14After trading at its steepest (short-term volatility lowest vs medium-term volatility) in 5 months last Monday, VIX rallied notably (and the curve flattened) on the week to 2015 lows. At the same time, in the 'traded' VIX product world, 2 rather notable things happened: first, VIX futures, which were at a record net long positioning at the end of January, have plunged to a net negative (short VIX) positioning once again; and second, and more stunningly, VXX (the VIX ETF) saw the biggest surge in units created since record began. Between these violent swings and the push-pull weights of oil's high vol and AAPL dominance of any dispersion, we suspect VVIX (vol of vol) will pick up notably from its 3-month lows. However, it is the fragility that this kind of move exposes that worries us the most.

I've said something before, but I just have to say I'm really enjoying this strip! I love looking at the fashions and I love the artistry of the drawing. You can almost smell the breeze and the fresh night air ruffling the curtains! I imagine that Emmy Lou and her friends are about my age. Hard to tell, but they are wearing what I wore when I was young, and those styles fell 'out' pretty soon.
Queen Victoria supposedly said about s** that she would lie there and think of England.
A varouca (however it's spelled) is what a plantar wart us called in England.
Shoes really aren't any protection from a rotary lawn mower. My husband had on work shoes (not steel toes) and cut the front part of his foot off. His foot slipped when trying to mow a steep drainage d itch type thing. Doc said sneakers would have held his foot together better, but steel toed shoes would have mangled things beyond repIr. As it was, they were able to reattach everything. Not quite good as new, but still there.
Like she doesn't know – if times get bad for a company, bonuses remain for the uppers. The verily ones whose decisions often caused the problems. Workers are let go entirely.
Candy stripers, I remember that! We had a white and pink striped dress and white pinafore. I don't remember a cusp at sll. This is a great comic strip.
I love looking at the way the fashions of the time were drawn and remembering. I showed one comic to my daughter and told her "I had those shoes!" She was not impressed, and didn't even think they were particularly attractive. Tsk, the younger generation…
I'm sorry if this if out of line. If one of your friends us being treated badly, why not form your own group to "meet" where you can include anybody toy want? You could form a secret or private group on Facebook. There are forums for free at Dylphi. Lots of options, if you're not getting what you need.
My mother was a dental hygienist who smoked heavily. She would hold the bite wing Xray film in people's mouth when she Xrayed their molars. Way back in the past before they worried acout the radiation exposure. Poor thing didn't have a chance. She died in 1965 at almost 40 years old.

Upf1p, Nmd2p, and Upf3p regulate the degradation of yeast mRNAs that contain premature translation termination codons. These proteins also appear to regulate the fidelity of termination, allowing translational suppression in their absence. Here, we have devised a novel quantitative assay for translational suppression, based on a nonsense allele of the CAN1 gene (can1-100), and used it to determine the regulatory roles of the UPF/NMD gene products. Deletion of UPF1, NMD2, or UPF3 stabilized the can1-100 transcript and promoted can1-100 nonsense suppression. Changes in mRNA levels were not the basis of suppression, however, since deletion of DCP1 or XRN1 or high-copy-number can1-100 expression in wild-type cells caused an increase in mRNA abundance similar to that obtained in upf/nmd cells but did not result in comparable suppression. can1-100 suppression was highest in cells harboring a deletion of UPF1, and overexpression of UPF1 in cells with individual or multiple upf/nmd mutations lowered the level of nonsense suppression without affecting the abundance of the can1-100 mRNA. Our findings indicate that Nmd2p and Upf3p regulate Upf1p activity and that Upf1p plays a critical role in promoting termination fidelity that is independent of its role in regulating mRNA decay. Consistent with these relationships, Upf1p, Nmd2p, and Upf3p were shown to be present at 1, 600, 160, and 80 molecules per cell, levels that underscored the importance of Upf1p but minimized the likelihood that these proteins were associated with all ribosomes or that they functioned as a stoichiometric complex.

Agriculture Subcommittee Reviews Implementation of 2002 Farm Bill and 2003 Agriculture Assistance: Subcommittee Chairman Moran Says 'I am Encouraged by the Department's Efforts to Date'
Subcommittee Chairman Moran Says 'I am Encouraged by the Department's Efforts to Date'
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Jerry Moran, Chairman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management, convened his first hearing today to review the implementation of the "Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002" and the "Agricultural Assistance Act of 2003."
"The combination of farm bill implementation and disaster assistance has created questions from farmers and ranchers and greatly increased the workload for USDA," Moran said. "This is a good time to review the ongoing implementation of the farm bill and disaster assistance."
The 2002 farm bill made several changes to agricultural policy, particularly in the commodity title. The commodity programs continue the fixed direct payment and marketing loans for grains, cotton and oilseeds. A new counter-cyclical assistance program was also implemented.
The lead witness in today's hearing was Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services (FFAS), J. B. Penn. Penn was accompanied by Administrators from the Farm Service Agency, the Risk Management Agency and the Foreign Agricultural Service.
Testifying before the subcommittee, Under Secretary Penn said, "The complicated mainstay of the legislation -the Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical Payments Program - is now in place with benefits available to producers…we are pleased with the progress and manner in which this new law has been implemented."
In his testimony, Under Secretary Penn also discussed the distribution of disaster assistance, approved by Congress in February, which will provide assistance to producers in areas struggling from multiple years of drought. Under Secretary Penn highlighted efforts by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ensure efficient and timely delivery of assistance to producers. Foremost among these efforts was the launching of a new website which gives producers a single location to access information, find answers to frequently asked questions and submit suggestions.
"Today's hearing was a good opportunity to hear first-hand about the USDA's efforts to serve the American farmer," Moran said. "I appreciate their work to see that our farmers and ranchers are able to continue to serve our nation's food needs."

A Woman in Berlin (2008)
This film is not for the faint of heart. Based on the anonymous memoirs of a Berlin woman, the story unflinchingly depicts the brutal occupation of that city by the conquering Russian army in 1945. It is a well known fact that the female population of Germany was severely victimized by way of mass rape, but this is the first time I have seen it portrayed on film. Due to Germany's guilt in the war, many people have tended to look the other way in regards to crimes committed against the German people, or justify them as the aggressor's due comeuppance. Whatever your opinion on the matter, the plight of these German women was a tragedy, and this film pays tribute to them.
Upon entering Germany, the Red army essentially raped, looted and pillaged with reckless abandon. Several times in the film, Russian soldiers refer to Germany as "a giant whorehouse," which concisely sums up their view of German women. With the majority of German men either dead or in POW camps, German women were left to face this onslaught alone. Our anonymous protagonist, played brilliantly by Nina Hoss, was a journalist who once lived in Moscow, thus she speaks a bit of Russian. This would not be enough to save her though, and she along with the rest of the women are subjected to brutal and repeated rapes. In one scene, when two friends are reunited after several tortuous months apart, they glance at each other knowingly, while one casually asks, "how often?"
One of the strange aspects of the story is that after a while, the rapists and their victims begin to settle in to an almost normal relationship. The soldiers come to their apartments at night, and they drink and dance and laugh together. Our main character even develops a curiously sincere relationship with a Russian Major who she seeks out for her own protection. So not only is this a chilling film about the brutality of war, but also of the resilient and adaptable nature of the human spirit under the worst of circumstances. While at times brutal and hard to watch, this is a compelling piece of history and a story that deserves to be told. The film is in German and Russian with English subtitles. 8.5 out of 10.
