The best thing about the stock market is that you can make money in either direction. Historically, stock indexes tend to trend upward over the long term. But when you look at individual stocks, you'll find plenty that lose money over the long haul. According to hedge-fund institution Blackstar Funds, between 1983 and 2006, even with dividends included, 64% of stocks underperformed the Russell 3000, a broad-scope market index.
A large influx of short-sellers isn't a condemning factor for any company, but it could be a red flag indicating that something is off. Let's look at three companies that have seen rapid increases in the number of shares sold short and see whether traders are blowing smoke or if their worries have merit.
Company |
Short Increase March 31 to April 15 |
Short Shares as a % of Float |
Solazyme (NASDAQ: SZYM ) |
11.6% |
26.8% |
WellPoint (NYSE: ANTM ) |
26.8% |
4.7% |
McDonald's (NYSE: MCD ) |
20.7% |
1.4% |
To be, or not to be?
The investing world has been buzzing about biofuels producer Solazyme for years, but it became enthralled when the company announced in January that it had commenced commercial operations in two Iowa facilities for three distinct Tailored oil products being sold throughout the U.S. With production expected to scale to 20,000 metric tons per year within 12-18 months, and to 100,000 metric tons annually in subsequent years, all investors saw were dollar signs.
Solazyme should also be on the verge of beginning commercial rewewable oils production in Moema, Brazil, another manufacturing facility capable of 100,000 metric tons per year of production.
But is this optimism warranted?
On paper, Solazyme offers a truly unique technology platform, and the push toward cleaner energy sources is undeniable -- both of which work in the company's long-term favor. However, there are a number of concerns that the typical value investor simply can't ignore.
Consider, for a moment, the argument that my Foolish colleague Maxx Chatsko presented last week that the Brazilian facility may be delayed. A production announcement had been expected in April, but never happened. Delays have been a regular staple of the Solazyme investor diet, so this really shouldn't be all that surprising. But with Solzayme's share price up notably in recent months, these delays do take on increased significance.
Growth prospects certainly aren't an issue, with revenue expected to practically triple in 2014 and 2015 and nearly double in 2016. However, profitability and cash flow are a concern. Wall Street's current projection calls for the company to be ever-so-slightly profitable by 2016 ($0.06 in full-year earnings per share), which is awfully pricey considering the company's $700 million-plus valuation and recent dilutive share offering. In the meantime, I estimate Solazyme will likely burn through about $100 million in cash over the next two years.
While unwavering pessimism may be unwarranted, given Solazyme's top-line growth and proprietary products, I believe short-sellers have more than enough reason to remain slightly skeptical of Solazyme, at least in the interim.
Obamacare or bust
Perhaps no health care company has seen a greater boost from the implementation of Obamacare than health benefits provider WellPoint, which saw its share price surge to triple digits. Prior to the closing of enrollment it was also one of the few insurers to note making money from its Obamacare enrollments, while a number of peers were losing money.
The big question, of course, and the reason skeptics appeared to dive into WellPoint, was whether these enrollments gains would justify the huge run-up in the company's share price or if emotional trading had pushed it too far, too fast. That question was answered last Wednesday when WellPoint delivered considerably stronger than expected first-quarter results.
WellPoint announced that membership increased by 1.3 million members, or 3.6%, from the sequential fourth quarter, with commercial growth of approximately 1.2 million members and Medicaid growth of 121,000 members. The expansion of Medicaid in 26 states worked strongly in WellPoint's favor as it's the largest health-benefits provider to government-sponsored patients. Most important, WellPoint's medical expense ratio (a figure that measures what it brings in via premiums versus what it spends in medical costs) shrank 100 basis points to 82.7%. All told, these figures enabled WellPoint to forecast that its full-year 2014 EPS would come in above $8.40.
The only two concerns I can imagine as an unbiased observer are the recent resignation of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and the 280-basis-point rise in the selling, general, and administrative expense ratio to 16.2%. Rising SG&A expenses seem in line with growing membership rates, so that may prove to be of little concern moving forward, but uncertainties surrounding the HHS leadership transition and the November opening for 2015 health insurance enrollment could again cast a cloud over insurers.
Overall, I'm no longer of the opinion that WellPoint is trading at a deep discount, but I don't particularly see much of a case that can be made for short-sellers, either.
Losing its golden luster
Finally we have McDonald's, and only one question comes to mind anytime I reference the Golden Arches these days: "What happened to the innovation?"
Short interest has steadily risen in the wake of another lackluster earnings report. For its latest quarter, McDonald's reported a roughly 1% increase in revenue to $6.7 billion, but worldwide comparable-store sales inched higher by a mere 0.5% -- and you can thank pricing for much of that rise.
The truth of the matter is that McDonald's is being outmaneuvered by a number of its rivals. Recent moves have included peers matching McDonald's interior restaurant redesign to appeal more strongly to families, introducing breakfast items that can be served all day, and delivering organic and natural products for a similar price point as McDonald's. Making matters worse, food costs and potentially labor costs are on the rise, forcing McDonald's to make some tough decisions about its value menu.
On the other hand, we have one of the best-recognized brands in the world. McDonald's spends a small fortune on advertising and partnerships, but it really doesn't need to as its name brand is fairly self-sustaining. What this means for long-term investors is predictable cash flow and a steady dividend. It also gives McDonald's an easy avenue to expand into foreign markets given its easily recognizable logo.
All told, similar to WellPoint, I'm a fan of the company and what it has done in the past, but I'm a bit leery of its future growth prospects given its growing competition and rising cost structure. I'd suggest investors stick to the sidelines and wait for a more attractive entry point than where McDonald's is currently trading.
Short-sellers would be crazy to bet against this $14.4 trillion revolution
Let's face it: Every investor wants to get in on revolutionary ideas before they hit it big -- like buying PC-maker Dell in the late 1980s, before the consumer computing boom, or purchasing stock in e-commerce pioneer Amazon.com in the late 1990s, when it was nothing more than an upstart online bookstore. The problem is, most investors don't understand the key to investing in hyper-growth markets. The real trick is to find a small-cap "pure-play" and then watch as it grows in explosive lockstep with its industry. Our expert team of equity analysts has identified one stock that's poised to produce rocket-ship returns with the next $14.4 trillion industry.

Data from Earth-based telescopes did not prepare scientists working with NASA's Voyager spacecraft for their first images of the individual storms roiling Saturn's upper atmosphere. The image on the left from Voyager 1 shows convective clouds in the northern hemisphere of Saturn on Nov. 5, 1980. NASA's Cassini spacecraft was able to follow up on Voyager's discoveries. The right hand image shows the so-called "dragon storm" from September 2004. The storm was a powerful source of radio emissions detected by Cassini. The radio emissions resembled short bursts of static generated by lightning on Earth. In August 2009, Cassini was finally able to capture visible-light images of lightning flashing in Saturn's atmosphere. A movie combining the imaging data and the radio emissions can be seen here: http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA12576 . Image credit: NASA/JPL and NASA/JPL/SSI

I had japanese thermoionic hair straightening done a year ago for $500. I have a years worth of curly regrowth and pin straight ends to the middle of my back. I never need to do the expensive straightening again. In less than five minutes my frizzy curls are straight, and Im finally able to put soft waves in the pin straight ends. I think the pin straight look isnt pretty or hip anymore. There is a trick to putting the waves in that I learned at a mall keyosk, and its easy after a little practice. The pink color is great for dark hair because you can see what youre doing with the color contrast. Id recommend black for blond hair. Definitely use a heat protection spray on your hair before ironing. Its the extreme heat that sets the curl. With any flat iron set at 350 degrees or above your hair will burn without the protection spray. You can tell, because you can smell burning hair!!! I get no burning or drying, and my hair shines. I recommend using lots of Pantene Smooth and Sleek Conditioner.posted Aug 30, 2006Link to this post

Naya Rivera: Sleek and Sexy at VMAs With Boyfriend Big Sean
After being seen in a slew of skin-baring numbers all summer long — we won't be forgetting that Teen Choice Awards outfit any time soon! — we assumed Naya Rivera would go all-out for the 2013 VMAs on Sunday, August 25.
However, the Glee actress took a decidedly unexpected approach when she opted for long-sleeve, floor-length gown by Paco Rabanne.
The vintage number, complete with cut-out details at the shoulders and waist, showed off just a hint of Naya's skin. The 26-year-old actress pumped up the sex appeal with long, sleek tresses, silvery eyes, and a selection of rings by Marina B.

On the Calibration and Performance of RSS-based Localization Methods
Dil, B.J. and Havinga, P.J.M. (2010) On the Calibration and Performance of RSS-based Localization Methods. In: Internet of Things, IOT 2010, 29 November - 1 December 2010 , Tokyo, Japan (pp. pp. 1-8).
950kB |
Abstract: | This paper analyzes the performance of several Received Signal Strength (RSS) based localization methods as a function of the calibration effort, hence as a function of deployment and maintenance costs. The deployment and maintenance costs determine the scalability and thus the applicability of a localization algorithm, and this is still a topic of research. This paper analyzes and compares the best available localization algorithms of the following localization methods: fingerprinting-, range- and proximity-based localization. An extensive amount of RSS measurements, performed in a realistic indoor environment show that range-based algorithms outperform fingerprinting and proximity-based localization algorithms when there is a limited amount of calibration measurements available. In that case, range-based algorithms have ~30% smaller errors, ~1.3 meter compared to ~1.9 meter. Our measurements show that fingerprinting-based algorithms approximate the performance of range-based algorithms as the number of calibration measurements increases from 1 to 80. |

Royal Slimming Formula
FDA issues strong warning about this diet pill.
Royal Slimming Formula is a weight loss supplement that is supposed to help you reshape your body in 7 days. In December 2008, the FDA issued a warning about a certain class of diet pills that contain the dangerous prescription drug sibutramine, which has been connected with heart attacks, internal bleeding, seizures and a host of other medical conditions. Royal Slimming Formula was one of the diet pills that was included on this list.
Unfortunately, the consumer has no way of knowing that this drug is included in the product because the product does not list it on its label. Royal Slimming Formula is an Asian diet pill and may contains many other unknown and potentially harmful ingredients.
- None to speak of
- Can cause very dangerous side effects
- Inaccurate ingredient list
- Suspiciously very similar to other Asian diet supplements
- FDA warning
Royal Slimming Formula contains Lingzhi, ebony, fox-nut, tuckahoe, seman pruni, dioscoreae, wheat germ and sibutramine, even though this last ingredient is not listed on the product's label.
ADMINISTRATIONOne capsule of Royal Slimming Formula is taken every morning before breakfast. Follow package instructions.
DIET and EXERCISEThere are no diet or exercise recommendations.
CONCLUSIONRoyal Slimming Formula is a weight loss supplement that carries with it very serious and dangerous side effects. Even though the FDA issued a warning about the dangers of this product, it can still be purchased over the Internet.
If you would like to lose weight, talk to your health practitioner about a safe and effective weight loss program that combines both a healthy diet and consistent exercise.

Twig iPhone cable doubles as a tripod
By Dave LeClair
August 10, 2012
Twig caught my attention the moment it crossed my screen. This simple iPhone cable can, of course, sync and charge your device, but it also adds a healthy dose of versatility to the equation by doubling as a stand, tripod and headphone cable management system.
The Twig has two legs that run alongside the USB portion of the cable. These can be shaped and bent for different situations. For example, you can bend the legs one way and the USB side the other to create a tripod for your iPhone, which is handy for Facetime as well as taking photographs and video. Turn Twig sideways and it can serve as a stand to make watching videos on your iPhone much more comfortable.
In "transport mode" you can use the Twig's legs to neatly wrap up your headphones. Given that most of my iPhone data cables just add to my mess of cords, it is nice to see one that actually cleans up the mess.
The Twig's compact size also makes it easy to carry around, but the downside is that it does not have the range of a standard cable. If you want to charge your device from across the room, this might not be the cable for you although there are USB extender cables that can help rectify that situation.
The Twig Kickstarter fundraising campaign has ended and the goal was more than met. In fact, it was blown away by more than three-hundred percent. Backers are expected to receive their Twigs sometime next month.
If you're like me, and missed the boat on funding the project to receive your Twig, fear not. Twig creator Jason Hilbourne tells us he is launching an online store for preorders this coming Wednesday.

I don't even own an iPhone but I love this idea.

Microsoft appeals against EU fine
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Microsoft <MSFT.O> said on Friday it was appealing against a record 899 million euro ($1.39 billion) fine imposed by the European Commission for using high prices to discourage software competition.
"Microsoft today filed to the (EU) Court of First Instance an application to annul the European Commission decision of February 27," the U.S. software giant said in a statement.
"We are filing this appeal in a constructive effort to seek clarity from the court," it said.
The European Union's executive Commission, which has been locked in a long-running battle over fair-competition issues with Microsoft, said in response that it was confident the fine was "legally sound."
The Commission had said it was imposing the fine because the U.S. software group had defied a 2004 order from Brussels to provide information to competitors on reasonable terms.
Microsoft has been fined a total of 1.68 billion euros by the EU for abusing its 95 percent dominance of PC operating systems through its Windows operating system.
The 899 million euro fine was the biggest ever imposed on a company by the EU executive.
The Commission had initially fined Microsoft 497 million euros in March 2004 for withholding interoperability information for "work group server" software and for deliberately damaging rivals by tying its Windows Media Player to its Windows system.
Microsoft unsuccessfully appealed against that penalty and was also later fined 280.5 million euros by the Commission for non-compliance.
The latest fine picked up from where the 280.5 million euro penalty left off, covering the period from June 21, 2006 until October 21, 2007.

In BT4D Victoria Leigh was asked about her experience dancing in ABT. One of her comments in the post was that she learned so much from working with Antony Tudor.
This made me wonder about what dancers gain from working with choreographers. I would imagine with someone like Antony Tudor it would be an increased expression of the emotional side of a ballet... ?
We as the audience only see the resulting performance of a work. It would be interesting to know more about what different choreographers brought/bring to companies behind the scenes. The books Dance is a Contact Sport and Ballet Across Borders touch on those areas but I would like to understand more from both the choreographer's and the dancer's point of view.

Ok, I have a Tacoma. It was a basket case of parts when I purchased it last year. I have NO idea what year the frame even is, but I need New Leaf springs. I know the Tacoma's had different length springs on them.

How to Manage PestsUC Pest Management Guidelines
DESCRIPTION OF THE PESTThe western tussock moth is an occasional pest in coastal apricot orchards. A mature larva is 0.5 to 1 inch long with a gray background color and numerous red, blue, and yellow spots. Four white tufts of hair emerge from its back as well as two black tufts from its head and one from its tail end. Larvae emerge in March and mature in May. The wingless female moths mate in early summer and lay eggs in feltlike masses on old cocoons. Only one generation is produced each year. DAMAGEThe larvae are insignificant foliar feeders but may feed on the surface of fruit sufficiently in some years to warrant control measures. Feeding results in shallow, scabby, depressed areas at harvest. MANAGEMENTNatural enemies usually keep tussock moth under control. Biological Control Organically Acceptable Methods Monitoring and Treatment Decisions Petal fall sprays to control other spring caterpillar problems will control this pest. Later instars are difficult to control. This pest is cyclic and often is controlled by parasitic wasps.

This post was written by Jai Kai of Planet Well Feeling good is a natural part of life and every now and then you may be lucky enough to experience a natural high where you feel completely content and blissful. Sometimes it comes and lasts a few moments and other times it tends to linger a little while longer. But what if you could create these moments of bliss more often and even prolong them? In my experience the prerequisite for being in a state of happiness and bliss is balance. There are many ways to achieve a state of balance, such as exercising and healthy eating but one that often gets left out is conscious breathing through specific breathing exercises. Practicing certain breathing exercises are refreshing, rejuvenating and will not only bring you into balance but may also lead you into high states of ecstasy and joy. Many conscious breathing exercises are thousands of years old, originating from India and used in the practice of Yoga. They are often referred to as "pranayama" exercises which is a Sanskrit (ancient Indian) word for breath control. So what are these breathing exercises? There are many and in fact the ancient yoga scriptures explain hundreds of them however, if you haven't practiced them before, you should start with these beginner practices below. I have listed them in order of stages that you can progress to after starting with stage one. Stage one: 1:1 breathing.The posture for this exercise can be done lying flat on the floor or in a seated position keeping your head, neck and trunk in one line. In one to one breathing you're matching your inhalations to your exhalations. For example if you are breathing in for a count of five then you need to breathe out for a count of five. On your inhalation your belly rises (your diaphragm muscle contracts) such that the ribs flare out slightly, and pulls the bottom of your lungs downward to bring in air. On your exhalation, your belly falls or draws inward to releases the air out. This is called deep diaphragmatic breathing. When your diaphragm is used for breathing, there is very little motion in the chest. However, with stress-filled lives, bad posture and poor unconscious breathing habits we tend to breathe using the chest. This practice can be done anytime during the day. Start with taking 20 breaths making sure the length and count of each inhalation is comfortable. You can then work your way up to 50 – 100 breaths or even set a timer for 15 – 20 minutes. Stage two: 1:2 breathing.In one to two breathing your exhalations are twice as long as your inhalations. For example, you may regulate your breath so that you inhale for a count of 5 seconds and exhale for a count of 10 seconds. Work with your rates of breathing to find the most comfortable speed for you. Use the ratios 3:6, 4:8, 5:10, 6:12, where the first (smaller) number is the number of seconds of inhalation, and the second (larger) number is the number of seconds of exhalation. The posture used is the same as 1:1 breathing mentioned above. As with all breathing exercises try to find a relaxing, quiet place to practice. This practice can also be done anytime during the day, staring with 20 or so breaths and working your way up to 50 or 100 breaths. I like to practice this one after a stressful or uncomfortable experience. Two-to-One breathing has a very relaxing effect on the autonomic nervous system and is a great way to release tensions, toxins and anxieties. Doubling the exhalation allows you to push more carbon dioxide and toxins out of the body bring you into a state of calm and equanimity. Normally your inhalations are longer and deeper than your exhalations. In this practice you are reversing the process so you can come into balance. Stage three: Alternate nostril breathing.As you breathe throughout the day usually one of your nostrils (either the right or left) is more dominant, allowing air to flow in and out of it more freely. This is quite a natural and normal process. However, when both nostrils are flowing evenly, your mind is quiet and still and you move into a state of pure awareness. In yoga it is said that when both nostrils are open and flowing evenly one is in a state of complete balance and equanimity. Alternate Nostril breathing is a method where you balance your energy and right-left brain hemispheres. You do this by regulating your breath in one or the other nostril. To practice this breathing technique you need to be seated with a straight spine – your head, neck and trunk aligned. Begin by using your thumb and ring finger of your right hand to block off one nostril so as to allow the other to flow. Then, those same fingers are moved so as to block the opposite nostril, and allow the previously blocked nostril to flow. This cycle will be repeated several times. Here is one specific method of alternate nostril breathing that is easy to understand (you may want to write it down). Exhale and inhale from one nostril five times blocking the other nostril with your fingers as mentioned above. Then, do the same thing five times with the other nostril. That is one "round." Doing three rounds is a considered a complete practice. Note: Inhales and exhales should be equal 1:1 but as you progress your exhales can be twice the inhales 1:2. The effects of alternate nostril breathing can bring you into a state bliss and is one of my favorite yoga breathing practices. It's best to always be in a seated posture, not lying down, and find a quiet, comfortable place. This practice shouldn't be done before bed as it can be quite energizing. I like doing this one first thing in the morning to start my day in a blissful energized state. *Once you have practiced either of the stages for several months you may want to add breath retention where you actually hold your breath during various stages or intervals of the exercise. It is recommended that you seek a qualified yoga or pranayama instructor who can guide you with breath retention. I hope you enjoy practicing these breathing exercises. Notice how you feel before, during and after practicing. Often within minutes of starting an exercise you will feel the calming and soothing effects. Record and validate your experience with these breathing exercises. Practicing these breathing exercises will allow you to become more aware of your normal, regular breathing habits throughout the day. They will teach you to breathe deeply with full inhalations and exhalations that are needed for proper oxygen and blood circulation. When the brain gets more oxygen, endorphins are release which leads to that feeling of being "blissed out". Better breathing means better health. For me and many others, conscious breathing exercises are the key to balance and bliss.

Then They Came for Your Birth Control
The "personhood" amendment on the Mississippi ballot on November 8 doesn't just ban all abortions—an issue that my colleague Tim Murphy has covered quite well. It would also likely outlaw several types of birth control and possibly make all forms of hormonal contraception illegal in the state.
Mississippi anti-abortion activists want to define personhood as starting when a sperm fertilizes an egg. In that case, it would likely make intrauterine devices (IUDs), which can prevent pregnancy by blocking the implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus, illegal. (IUDs can also prevent sperm from fertilizing the egg in the first place, and IUDs with hormones also operate much like regular old birth control pills, but that doesn't seem to matter to anti-abortion activists.)
The measure would also almost certainly make Plan B, also known as emergency contraception or the "morning after" pill, illegal. This high dose of hormones is used to prevent a woman from ovulating, but anti-abortion groups also insist that it can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting (despite the fact that scientists say there's no evidence that's the case). Needless to say, anti-abortion groups don't like Plan B very much, either.
But the law could also introduce the possibility of banning any form of hormonal birth control. Generally, "the pill" (as well as the shot, the patch, and the ring) work by stopping ovulation. But some anti-abortion groups argue that there can be failures on that front, and the doses of hormone could possibly also work by stopping implantation should an egg and sperm still manage to meet up.
Irin Carmon has an excellent piece on the implications over at Salon:
If this initiative passes, and fertilized eggs on their own have full legal rights, anything that could potentially block that implantation—something a woman's body does naturally all the time—could be considered murder. Scientists say hormonal birth-control pills and the morning-after pill work primarily by preventing fertilization in the first place, but the outside possibility, never documented, that an egg could be fertilized anyway and blocked is enough for some pro-lifers. Indeed, at least one pro-Personhood doctor in Mississippi, Beverly McMillan, refused to prescribe the pill before retiring last year, writing, "I painfully agree that birth control pills do in fact cause abortions."
This kind of slippery slope reasoning has long been a favorite rhetorical strategy of anti-abortion groups, and the personhood measure fits into the strategy they've been using around the country for years. And as Carmon highlights, this isn't an "unintended consequence" of a vague ballot measure—it's part of the goal of extreme anti-abortion activists in the state.

Take Advice On Board
By Chris Sheedy
Seeking regular business advice from people with exceptional experience is a sure-fire way to fast track the growth and success of your business. Setting up an advisory board is a simple but powerful way to formalise this process.
The Practicalities
- Regular access to the experience and advice of several of Australia's greatest business leaders.
- Cost is a fraction of that of a full board of directors.
- Despite their broad experience and varying roles, the advisory Board members are paid to know, focus on and advise specifically to your own business.
- Meetings are sharp and focussed as, when advisory board members come in for their regular sessions, information and agendas must be well prepared. This enables better charting and progress checking of your business.
"We're trying to put together the dream team, if you like, the ideal mix of boardroom talent for an organisation. Then we make it cost effective for a business to be able to access it," Hammond says. "What's it worth? It can vary dramatically, but if you're looking at a day per month or a fee per meeting it can vary from $1000/meeting up to several thousand dollars per meeting. Or you might consider compensating the members with shares in the company. The average rate is about $2000/meeting and there might be six to twelve meetings per annum, with some expenses that might be covered on top of that."

Multi-color Cluster
Galaxy clusters are the largest coherent structures of visible matter known. The Virgo cluster, the galaxy cluster which is closest to the Milky Way, has been an object of intense study for astronomers who want to understand the dynamics of these clusters, and to understand how the individual galaxies interact with their neighbors and with the material between galaxies. The
Chandra X-ray observatory
has now provided the most detailed image of the Virgo cluster and the giant elliptical radio galaxy, M87, which lies at the core of the cluster and which probably houses a supermassive black hole. A color composite of the Chandra X-ray image and a radio image of M87 is shown above. The X-ray image (in the 0.5-7 keV band) is red/yellow, while the radio emission is shown in blue. The regions which emit both in X-ray and radio wavelengths are white. This image shows that the cool radio and hot X-ray gas are well correlated in a circular region at the center of M87, while hot X-ray emitting gas trace the inner part of a radio jet which extends out from the center of the galaxy. Detailed analysis of these images suggest that the activity in the core of the galaxy has a direct bearing on the matter between the neighboring galaxies.

Rucu Pichincha
After a successful trip to Mexico last February I thought it was time to go a little further south of the border to take a small step upwards with a trip to Ecuador. I went with Nord Sandstrom, also from Denver, and used Moggely in Quito for guides per recommendations from other SP members online. We changed our plans since originally we wanted to start with the Ilinizas, but we heard that Sur was not in very good shape so we decided to begin our trip nearer Quito with the Pichinchas. I arrived in Quito the night before our acclimatization hikes, Nord had arrived a day sooner. The three main summits of this large volcanic massif are Guagua, Rucu and Encantado (smallest of the three). Guagua Pichincha erupted as recently as 1999 sending a large plume of ash high above Quito.We began by taking a cab to the TeleferiQo aerial tram on the west side of town en route to the summit of Rucu Pichincha. The tram starts at a small amusement park and tops out on the slopes of Rucu at around 13,000 feet. It costs $4 for a round trip, or $7 if you want an express pass that skips the line- not necessary when we went. On the top there is an indoor observation deck, bar and small outside restaurant. A clear trail leads to the summit. Below, Quito was always visible at the valley floor around 9,300 feet.
The trail slowly gained altitude until we met the East ridge. There were a few climbers who took this route (class 4 to easy 5), but we passed it to the right and continued on the main trail until we came to a sandy slope. This slope was easy to climb by some switch-backs until we neared the summit after ~300 feet of easy class 4 climbing.
We spent a little time on the summit and saw the summit of Guagua Pichincha not far away. We headed back down and soon were back to the TeleferiQo lift. The trip took about two hours up and one hour down. We started our hike around 10am.
Guagua summit
The next morning we were met at our hotel by Robinson, our guide from Moggely. We used a guide for this hike because we needed a ride to the Guagua trail and for the traverse route from the summit of Guagua to the Encantado summit. We were taken to the village of Lloa, where it is possible to begin a climb, and past this town to the civil defense refuge high on Guagua. We decided to go higher, because our guide thought it would be better to spend our time higher on the mountain rather than climbing it from below. He suggested the traverse over to Encantado for this purpose. We began by hiking along a short segment of road to a shrine intended to protect Quito from the wrath of its nearby volcanoes- Pichincha in particular. The trail continued along the crater edge to a rocky outcropping (up to easy class 4) to the summit. The caldera was shrouded in clouds and the smell of sulfur was ever-present.After spending a little time on the top, we headed down in the direction of Encantado.

Title: | The Way of Choju: Consuming Longevity in a Rural Japanese Town |
Author: | Busch, Jessica |
Date: | 2002-12 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii at Manoa |
Abstract: | This thesis reviews the literature on the anthropology and biology of aging, Japanese health cosmology, and self-medication and analyzes the findings from a study investigating the perceptions on diet, health, and longevity of rural Japanese elderly living in southwestern Japan. A biocultural theoretical perspective is used to understand the relationship between culture, identity, tradition, and longevity. To rural elderly Japanese, health is a matter of maintaining balance through diet and lifestyle, while disease is diagnosed and treated by physicians and biomedical pharmaceuticals. Traditional Japanese foods have been shown to be longevity-enhancing, although Okinawans, who have the greatest life expectancy of Japanese, do not eat a traditional Japanese diet. This disparity is reconciled by the adopted of a number of foods from Okinawa, such as nigagori. The bioscientific literature on some foods listed by informants as good for longevity is analyzed and linked to the literature on cultural identity and nationalism. Consuming traditional Japanese foods for longevity allows Japanese to participate in their cultural identity while at the same time, eating the biologically best foods for health and longevity. |

Miami Cannibal Victim Ronald Poppo: "He Just Ripped Me To Ribbons"
Ronald Poppo |
"He chewed up my face. He plucked out my eyes. Basically that's all there is to say about it."
Interviews Poppo gave to police after he was mauled by deceased cannibal Rudy Eugene on the side of a Miami causeway have been released to the media. In the interview, Poppo seems relaxed, sympathetic, and grateful that police were able to stop Eugene before he could do even more damage.

- Veronika sucks on Katie's big tits, getting her nipples nice and erect, making her sweet and juicy down below. She slides her fingers deep inside Katie's pussy, slowly at first, allowing her vagina to stretch slightly to accommodate two fingers. She works her fingers hard but Katie wants it even harder and reaches down to encourage Veronika to go deeper and hit her spot stronger! We can hear the squelching silk from inside Katie as she holds onto Veronika and allows herself to climax.

HURRICANE TRACKING & FORECASTNew Orleans Weather Doppler Radar & Satellite Images
- Special Report: Washing Away
SEEKING SHELTERNorth Carolina officials had expected to shut down their temporary housing program after 18 months, but 33 months later, there are nearly 70 families still living in temporary housing, such as here in Princeville, N.C. (PHOTO BY ELLIS LUCIA / The Times-Picayune) |
After Hurricane Floyd inundated parts of North Carolina in 1999, thousands were left homeless. Today, nearly three years later, some people are still living in temporary trailers.
By John McQuaid
Staff writer
ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. -- Griffin Clark's string of bad luck began when Hurricane Floyd flooded her out of her apartment in a small public housing development in Tarboro, N.C. Then an old foot injury acted up and she had to get orthopedic surgery. Unable to work for a time, she lost her job at an auto parts plant. Unable to pay the bills, she filed for bankruptcy. Amid the problems, she was unable to find a new place to live.
So for two years -- long after Floyd had become just an unpleasant memory for most people -- she stayed in a mobile home provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for storm refugees in Rocky Mount, about 20 miles west of Tarboro.
"It's not much, but it's home," she said, sitting on a couch and looking down at the tattered carpeting in the living room one day in November. "It's been rough being so far from my real home, my friends. I've been trying to get out, rent an apartment back in Tarboro. But there's no place to get out to."
Clark finally moved out in March, 30 months after the hurricane struck. With help from a federal relief program, she bought one of the used FEMA mobile homes on a plot in a park once used for storm refugees, now converted to private use, just outside of Tarboro.
When a disaster wrecks homes, the federal government steps in with temporary housing, considered a last resort for those who cannot find anywhere else to stay. The idea is to provide basic shelter until homes can be repaired or rebuilt. But when the damaged buildings are public housing units and rental apartments occupied by poor people, owners or agencies may be slow to rebuild. They may never come back at all. With nowhere else to go, people with few financial resources can end up in temporary housing for a very long time.
North Carolina's post-Floyd problems with poverty and temporary housing give a hint of what New Orleans could face on a much larger scale if a catastrophic storm swamps the city. North Carolina's experiences also provide a rough road map of what emergency managers here would have to do to address the needs of newly homeless residents.
Based on the North Carolina example, the state and federal governments would end up running what would be the largest public housing program in the nation's history, allocating money and other resources to maintain large trailer and mobile home parks while waiting for inexpensive, alternative housing to be rebuilt in the city. That might not take place for years, if it occurs at all.
North Carolina's temporary housing program was supposed to shut down after 18 months. But it was extended twice, and 33 months later it is still operating after a second deadline expired. Officials had whittled the numbers down to 69 families at the start of June, and they are hoping to end the program this summer.
Since the Katrina disaster, NOLA's neighborhood forums have been crucial in reuiniting families and neighbors, and providing vital communications.

Founded in 2000, the East End Film Festival is one of the UK's largest film festivals. An annual multi-platform festival held in London, the EEFF presents a rich and diverse programme of international premieres, industry masterclasses, free pop-up screenings and immersive live events. The EEFF's mission is to discover, support, and exhibit pioneering work by global and local independent filmmakers, and to introduce viewers to innovative and challenging cinematic experiences.
Attracting an annual audience of more than 30,000, the EEFF has established itself as a major international film festival situated at the heart of London's most dynamic quarter. Committed to the work of first and second time directors, the annual EEFF showcases more than seventy feature film screenings, several short film programmes, and a variety of cross-arts events and industry activities across the festival. The EEFF's established awards system includes: Best Feature (reserved for first and second time directors); Best Documentary; Best UK Short Film; and the EEFF Short Film Audience Award. Past EEFF juries have featured Gillian Wearing OBE RA, Peter Bradshaw, Sally El Hosaini, Armando Bo, Pater Straughan, Nic Gonda and Divine & RZA.
The EEFF boasts large audiences, ever increasing industry support, high levels of international press coverage, and a large and incredibly diverse range of partnerships with organisations such as Amnesty International UK, Sheffield Doc/Fest, World Pride, Digital Shoreditch and Film London. The festival received unprecedented levels of attention in 2014, showcasing films to diverse, engaged audiences in record numbers.
EEFF 2015 takes place 1st – 12th July 2015.
Originally founded in 2000 as a platform for filmmakers living and working in East London, the EEFF has since expanded to represent and showcase the very best of contemporary British, European and World cinema whilst retaining its commitment to one of the world's most vibrant filmmaking communities.
Originally established as the East London Film Festival by Stephen Murray and Sarah Wren from Tower Hamlets Council, the festival was subsequently renamed Raindance East for its 2003, 2004 and 2005 editions, as Raindance took on responsibility for programme and festival development. Ending its association with Raindance in 2005, the festival was renamed the East End Film Festival, and in that time has developed exponentially to become a true festival of discovery, with several films from previous editions of the EEFF having gone on to win international awards.
Previous guests of the EEFF include filmmakers Ken Russell (The Devils), Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting), Richard E. Grant (Withnail and I), Julian Temple (The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle, Oil City Confidential) and Shekar Kapor (Elizabeth); Composers Michael Nyman (The Piano, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover) and Nitin Sawhney; producers Stephen Woolley (The Crying Game) and Andrew Macdonald, (Trainspotting, The Last King of Scotland); writers Tony Grisoni (Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas) and Ayub Khan Din (East is East); musicians from The Libertines to Annie Lennox; and artists ranging from Gilbert & George to Tracey Emin.
Previous festival screenings include the second ever UK screening of the Director's Cut of The Devils, with director Ken Russell and members of the cast in attendance; Danny Boyle's Millions, Richard E. Grant's Wah Wah, and the restoration of Barney Platts-Mills's mod classic Bronco Bullfrog; award-winning British documentaries including Jez Lewis' Shed Your Tears and Walk Away, Nicola & Teena Colins' The End, Julian Temple's Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten and Jamie Jay Johnson's Sounds Like Teen Spirit; and hard hitting, challenging foreign documentaries, including Roberto Hernández's Presumed Guilty and the Oscar-winning Born Into Brothels. The EEFF also has a strong history of connecting the East End with Eastern Europe with premieres of award winning Polish films Mall Girls and Lejdis, and a 2012 retrospective of infamous Russian director Alexei Balabanov with Balabanov himself in attendance.
The EEFF is also committed to excavating the boundaries between cinema and other art forms, regularly hosting exhibitions, installations, spoken word and live music events in support of the festival's main programme. Past highlights include Mark Donne's The Rime of the Modern Mariner, an elegiac ode to Docklands culture, performed in the beautiful Hawksmoor church St Anne's with a live orchestral score; a 50th Anniversary screening of Polish classic Mother Joan of the Angels in the Sir John Soane designed St. John on Bethnal Green; a special screening of the Limehouse-set silent classic Broken Blossoms accompanied by pianist Neil Brand; and special live performances from artists such as The Guillemots and Saint Etienne.
