Garner's Busy With Babies, but She's Also in the Spotlight
By Sharon Knolle
LOS ANGELES — Jennifer Garner will begin promoting two films for 2009, but right now she's concerned with only one project. "This," she says, pointing to her swollen belly.
The pregnant actress, who already has one child, 2-year-old Violet, with husband Ben Affleck, won't reveal her due date but smiles coyly when asked whether she plans on more children: "Yeah, next year, I think I might have one."
Garner was at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles on Wednesday to host the 10th anniversary celebration for Baby Einstein, a series of books, toys and DVDs that help parents interact with their children. Other celebrity parents at the event included Melissa Joan Hart with 5-month-old son Braydon; Sean Patrick Thomas and wife Aonika, who brought 3-month-old daughter Lola; and soccer star Mia Hamm with 16-month-old twins Ava and Grace.
Despite her pregnancy, Garner had as much energy as any toddler at the event, jumping up to help the camera crew that was breaking down a set around her and then running across the room to bring a Baby Einstein toy to a child who wanted to play with it.
Garner, who will soon begin promoting films The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughey and This Side of the Truth with Ricky Gervais, says she discovered the Baby Einstein products the same way many mothers do — through her friends and baby showers.
"You need a starting-off point when you're playing with a baby that isn't talking," she says. "It's a long day — to sit and stare at a baby! So to have something that lights up and makes music is so wonderful. I grew up in a household where there was classical music all the time, so I find it very nostalgic and comforting to hear a little bit of Vivaldi or Beethoven."
Games in Garner's childhood consisted mostly of "chewing on spoons and knocking pans together," she says with a laugh. "It's great we have so many products available now, but I think my mom did a great job with what she had, too."
Garner says she often turns to her friends and sisters for parenting advice. "I ask them about everything imaginable," she says. "'What do I wear? Why does this feel that way? How did you deal with this?' … I have a huge female support group, and I can't imagine a day without them." (c) Copyright 2008 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co. Inc. <>>

Taiwan must develop proper sex education curriculum
Publication Date : 16-06-2014
Some people say that living a life with regrets is in a sense not really living. We should never regret our lifestyle, friends, actions or deeds. In order to move forward in life, we should take the experiences of our past and use them as stepping-stones to help us reach our new goals and dreams. In other words, we shouldn't let the past hold us back. We should never regret anything, because at one time it was exactly what we wanted.
Yet, according to a survey released on June 7, over 40 per cent of Taiwanese college students have regretted their decisions to have sex. Among the 2,054 college students who responded to the poll conducted by the Taiwan Association for Sexuality Education, 44.1 per cent of men and 30 per cent of women said they had engaged in heterosexual sex.
Despite the gap between male and female students, which may be attributed to the teenagers' apprehensions in talking about their sex lives, 45 per cent of male and 43 per cent of female respondents expressed regret after physical intimacy. Even more worrisome is that the survey pointed out that only 30 per cent of men and 28 per cent of women said they or their partners had used condoms. Over 50 per cent of men and 23 per cent of women in the survey said they have had at least one one-night stand.
It is certainly not a secret that many high school students are sexually active today. While some are very conscientious and practice "safe sex," many do not and they may be exposed to sexually transmitted diseases. They might think that they are invulnerable, but they are not, and condoms are readily available in convenience stores.
"Save a life — use a condom!" might sound like well-timed advice when combined with a comprehensive program of sex education to help teenagers become more sexually responsible, but it is not that simple. Taiwan is still experiencing a growing number of teenage pregnancies and more sexually transmitted disease. So, what's the problem?
The problem is that teenagers don't have a clue of what they are doing. While the educational system relies on parents to check homework, cram school teachers to teach every subject and schools to train students to pass tests, nobody seems to be in charge of teaching children about sex, teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and homosexuality. Not the public school, not the cram school, not the parents. Nobody.
Without a doubt, there is a lack of a proper sex education curriculum that would help students understand the lessons of human sexuality, reproduction and the spread of disease. Teenagers also have to understand their social studies lessons concerning social relationships, the development of cultural norms and the role of responsible citizens.
After all, sexuality is more complicated than "monkey see, monkey do" and most children already know a lot about sex through the media. We are convinced that if teenagers were openly given sex education in school, they would be more willing to use condoms. Sex education and condom availability programs are two important ways to teach responsibility for the self as well as others, for exploring the meaning of human relationships and for addressing the lack of respect for women in our society.
Few educators would argue that schools should not be involved in teaching values. Especially among teenagers who have bad relationships with their parents and are unable to talk to them about anything. Such programs wouldn't violate the right of parents to educate their children about moral behavior and religious values.
No sex education program can remove a parent or religious leader's right to teach teenagers the values they consider to be important, including sexual abstinence. What parents and religious leaders no longer have is the right to use public schools to impose their personal religious beliefs on their teenagers and on other people's children.
But should making condoms available be the job of the school? Some people argue that schools should be places for learning math and reading and science, not for learning how to put on a condom. Yet, public high schools are the best place to provide sex education and make condoms available to teenagers because that's where the teenagers are, and that's where there are adults who are trained and willing to counsel them.
A law that would require parental consent before an abortion or an authorisation to get free condoms would not create a better relationship. It would only lead to more regret as well as further conflict and teen pregnancy.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is excited by the potential of his new strike-partnership - Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez.
"We have had some fantastic partnerships at this club over the years," said Ferguson.
"The first season with Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke was incredible but most of them do take time.
"What you have to remember is that Wayne is 22 next week and Carlos is only 23, so they are only young players. In three or four years it might be something special.
"Both have great attributes. They have speed and courage and they are able to beat a man, so all the things are there.
"Maturity is what we want to see now, and also authority and timing. "Once that comes hopefully they will be at our club showing everyone what great players they are.
"The evidence is good at the moment. I am encouraged by that. They are young players and hopefully that development gets better. The signs are very good at the moment, that is all I can say. I am delighted with that because they are so young."

Sun Scout
If your work or play requires sunlight, Sun Scout is built for you. Turn your iPhone in to a magic lens. Point it at the sky to understand where the sun will be and when it will be there.
Sun Scout uses your device's compass. For best results, calibrate your iPhone's compass, even when your phone does not prompt you to do so. Check out this video to see how: http://j.mp/compass-calibration
Important note: Like all compasses, Sun Scout is adversely influenced by metal in vehicles and buildings. Sun Scout is only as good as the iPhone's compass and is prone to a variable margin of accuracy even under fair conditions. Do not base high-value production decisions solely on Sun Scout. Confirming them using sun charts and a technical scouting mission during the time of day of a future shoot.
romano01, US App Store – "This app has come in handy more then once this week alone. While working on a feature film called "fairhaven" the gaffer and I (key Grip) needed to find out where and when the sun would be for a scene… well after i pulled out my Sun Scout App. everyone started downloading it!!! It is well worth it."

CIO Council offers cyber guidelines for Web 2.0
Friday - 9/18/2009, 2:46pm EDT
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Agencies jumping into the Web 2.0 ocean should not focus their cybersecurity strategy around the tools and technology, but rather reiterate and stress existing policy requirements.
But departments also should press commercial social media providers for a more in-depth look into their security procedures and monitor security and network operations of the vendor.
These are among the Chief Information Officer's Council recommendations in a new report issued Thursday.
"This document recommends mitigating the social media risks through a series of guidelines and recommendations to assist federal departments and agencies in developing a strategy to securely enable the use of social media," the document states. "It must be made based on a strong business case, supported at the appropriate level for each department or agency, considering its mission space, threats, technical capabilities, and potential benefits. The goal of the IT organization should not be to say 'No' to social media Web sites and block them completely, but to say 'Yes, following security guidance,' with effective and appropriate information assurance security and privacy controls."
The council, which also is developing privacy guidance, broke down the recommendations into five areas:
- Policy controls
- Acquisition controls
- Training controls
- Network controls
- Host controls
"Policies should not be based on specific technology, as technology changes rapidly," the document states. "Rather, policies should be created to focus on user behavior, both personal and professional, and to address information confidentiality, integrity and availability when accessing data or distributing government information. Procedures should be created and updated frequently to address the rapid changes in specific technologies."
The document also goes into the potential cyber threats social media tools could bring to agencies, such as spear phishing or social engineering.
"In order to defend against rapidly evolving social media threats, departments and agencies should include a multi-layered approach in a risk management program, including risks to the individual, risks to the department or agency, and risks to the federal infrastructure," the document states.
The council recommends agencies update their Acceptable User Policies to cover social media technologies, and the CIO should develop a Web 2.0 communications strategy.
Under acquisition, the council suggests agencies use two-factor authentication, including the secure identity card, under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12, and designate a dedicated government server or instance within the corporate social media network. Agencies also should encourage social media vendors to use code validation and signing to improve the security of their Web sites, and have a third party conduct a risk assessment of the vendor's systems or services.
The guidelines also promote the use of trust zones to better ensure agency network security, and use desktop virtualization strategies to safeguard against malicious Web sites.

Pittsburgh Baseball
Pittsburgh Pirates Tickets
ScoreBig is the place to go for deals on Pittsburgh Pirates tickets. With savings up to 60% off box office prices, no fees and free shipping, we promise you'll get great seats at a great price.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have reemerged to become one of the most exciting teams in all of MLB. As one of last year's wildcard berths, Pirates Fans have a lot to be excited this season.
Pirates Tickets have once again become a hot commodity in the Steel City, thanks to a youth-led roster. This isn't new to a club that has been around since 1876 (formerly known as the Alleghenys). The Pirates earned their moniker by "pirating" a player away from another franchise – in what is now known as Free Agency.
History of the Franchise
Pittsburgh Pirates fans have been treated to some of the best to ever play the game. Legendary names like Willie Stargell, Bill Mazeroski, Ralph Kiner, and of course Roberto Clemente all suited up for the Pirates. Players like these helped the Pirates win four World Series Championships for the city of Pittsburgh.
Save on Pittsburgh Pirates Tickets
Andrew McCutchen, 2013 MVP, leads the Pirates and has quickly become a superstar in Pittsburgh and beyond. On the pitching side, Gerrit Cole takes the lead as a reliable pitcher, and AJ Burnett seemed to be locked and loaded for each start last season.
There may be no greater sight in all of baseball than PNC Park's backdrop featuring the Alleghany River and the skyline of Pittsburgh. When you're looking for Pirates Tickets, ScoreBig is the place to go for the absolute best deals on MLB tickets all summer long.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Curt Yeomans
As the Clayton County Board of Education grapples with deep funding cuts, candidates campaigning for seats on the board have given their opinions on how to best make those cuts.
During a forum hosted by the Clayton County NAACP chapter on Tuesday, some challengers said those at the highest levels of the school system are not shouldering enough of the budget cuts' burden. Incumbents countered that they have done their best to minimize the effects of the cuts on the classroom.
Last week, the school board tentatively adopted a $509 million fiscal year 2011 budget. It encompasses about $40 million in cuts. To start, the cuts include eliminating positions on Superintendent Edmond Heatley's cabinet, getting rid of home-to-school transportation to school-choice institutions, cutting elementary school summer school, and middle school summer remediation, and shortening the school year by five days.
In addition, the cuts also include getting rid of hundreds of school improvement specialists, academic coaches, coordinators, media paraprofessionals, media specialists, and school nurses.
"They've decided to cut things in the wrong direction," said District 1 Candidate and New Macedonia Baptist Church preacher, Rev. Richard Jones. "The teachers and staff working with my kids are the last ones who should be cut."
The incumbent District 1 board member, Pamela Adamson, whom Jones wants to replace, countered with: "We've tried to cut in places that would not directly affect the classroom."
The forum drew almost every candidate seeking a spot on the school board. School board Chairperson Alieka Anderson, who is running unopposed in District 8, and Grandvial Quick, one of the District 9 candidates, were the only candidates who did not attend the forum.
In addition to District 1 candidates Adamson and Jones, the other attending candidates were (in District 4) incumbent School Board Member Michael King, National Education Association Student Program Chairman R. Jermaine Coleman, and Lovett School Breakthrough Atlanta program Eighth-grade Teacher Xavier O. Ross; and (in District 9), incumbent School Board Member Charlton Bivins, and Housing Authority of Clayton County Chairman James Searcy.
The issue of school finances has become a hot-button topic in the education community, particularly as declining state revenues has forced Georgia's lawmakers to cut back spending, including funding for education. That, in turn, has helped contribute to massive budget cuts, including staff layoffs and talk of school closures, in school district's throughout the state.
Ross said the high salaries of some district employees, such as Heatley, should have been among the first cuts. Heatley's contract gave him a base, annual salary of $250,000, although his work year has since been cut by two weeks, under the budget cuts.
"If we start trimming at the $250,000, and $190,000 salaries, then we won't need to let some of our other employees go," Ross maintained.
Similarly, Coleman pointed to the district's central office as a prime place to begin cuts. "Sacrificing doesn't mean you need to give up quality," he said. "Start cutting at the top. Sacrificing begins with the leadership, and then, we work our way down from there."
Candidate Searcy, however, said cutting expenses in the district requires the school board members to put more thought into how they handle the district's finances. "We must be much smarter about how we make these cuts," Searcy said.
But, like Adamson, incumbent school board members, Bivins and King, argued that when it comes to the school system's fiscal year 2011 budget, they have done the best they could with the limited resources they expect to have.
"The money is just not there," King said.
"We tried to stay out of the classroom, so that's why we cut back in areas like maintenance and transportation," Bivins said.

Georgia Peach Sugar Scrug
By Major TSC Fan
from Mississauga
This is another lovely product from Pur Minerals, the fragrance is fantastic & it does a great job exfoliating the skin on my body. After using it my body moisturizer goes into my skin very quickly & the scent in the bathroom is beautiful, a great side effect!! I cannot say enough about this product, I also love the other scrub that was out a few months ago & I really hope one of these scrubs becomes a permanent product in the Pur Minerals line!! I am addicted & would hate to be without one or the other of them, or a new scent if they so choose, but please keep the body scrub in the line!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

excellent product
By Anne
from Ontario
I have this in the Lime version from previous ...which I stocked up on and am still using.I use this on my whole body about once a week and on my legs more often.Skin feels so polished and smooth ..great for exfoliating before moisturizing or using self tanners. Love the smell. Can not comment on the Georgia Peach as yet
By Lana
from Toronto
This scrub is even better than the lime coconut version that was out last year. My skin is unbelievably smooth and the smell of peach iced tea is simply delicious! I have ordered 2 tubs but will be ordering more so I don't run out!

Absolutely Yummy for the skin !
By CARO
from Dorval, Quebec
I received my bag of goodies today filled with Pure Minerals that was a showstopper last week. I just finished taking off my makeup and tried this product on my face. First of all the smell is to die for, and the result of my skin after words was so soft, as I was putting on my night crème, all I could feel was smooth skin and I could only smell peaches..... It is really AMAZING, and I just ordered another one for a reserve. You have got to try this product.....

GeForce 5900XT Molex Plug
HI, is there another way to check if the molex plug on my 5900xt is connected or not (aside from opening my case and inspecting it), If i don't connect the molex plug, what would happen? Will i have a dead card?
Re: GeForce 5900XT Molex Plug
If the card is not connected you will get an error message upon Windows startup. The card will not be damaged but it will run at a significantly reduced clock speed.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Tiffany H. Williams, BSN, MSN, CPNP (South Carolina State University)
Description: This comprehensive and well written book on the care of the child with a chronic condition includes information pertinent for students as well as practitioners. The ending summaries are written such that a busy practitioner can scan quickly, while the chapter content can be read in more detail as indicated.
Purpose: According to the author, the intent is to provide the reader with a review of information necessary to provide comprehensive primary preventive care to the child with a chronic illness. These objectives are well met.
Audience: The book appears to be written for pediatric practitioners in primary care, but it is most useful for those in specialty care, residents and students. The authors are credible authorities in the care of children with chronic illness
Features: The book covers illnesses seen by practitioners from allergies to organ transplantation. The presentation of the extensive information needed to provide preventive care in primary practice for each illness is an outstanding feature. The most unique feature is the concise, yet comprehensive table at the end of each chapter.
Assessment: This book is useful for a student or practitioner in primary care or a specialty area. With updated treatment guidelines, subsequent updates will be needed. I was pleased to see the inclusion of several mental health conditions in this edition.

Is cheese brine the solution to icy roads?
It's too late to do anything about the icy roads today, but the Common Council took one small step on Wednesday that could result in cheese brine being used as a de-icing agent on city streets.
Aldermen approved a resolution that would direct the city's Department of Public Works to conduct a feasibility study to determine whether cheese brine can be used as a de-icing agent and as a supplement to rock salt on city streets.
Ald. Tony Zielinski sponsored the resolution. The city agency is expected to report back to the council in 90 days.
Cheese brine is a waste product in the cheese-making process. Cheese brine has been used successfully on roads in Polk County.

Owens said he met Hanrahan socially and got to talking about his past. Hanrahan said it would be a good idea to have him come speak to the students, and give them a first hand look at desegregation in the U.S.
"Not just read it from a book," Owens said.
Owens had a Catholic education his whole life, graduating from eighth-grade in 1948 and high school in 1953, and his story is one of political intervention and progressive policies.
"At the time schools were segregated under separate but equal," he said.
Salesianum Catholic High School for Boys was a segregated Catholic school in walking distance from Owens' house. Owens attended Catholic school up until high school and wanted to continue to do so.
The only school available for black students was Howard High School where his parents went, and although Owens had nothing against it, he wanted to continue his Catholic education.
When a local legislator Erma Watson got word Owens was still interested in attending Catholic School, she offered, and Owens accepted, to pay for travel expenses so Owens could attend a desegregated Catholic School in Pennsylvanian, where there were no segregation laws for schools.
Every morning during his freshman year Owens took the morning train into Philadelphia so he could continue his Catholic Education.
"I was happier than I ever could be, and special because I was taking the train," he said.
Soon after Watson's offer, the Catholic Interracial Council formed in his hometown and both his parents joined.
"They were working toward harmony and desegregation," Owens said.
One night, during a council meeting, Father Thomas Lawless, principal of Salesianum, was invited to attend and speak. He had learned of Owens' situation and said "that should not be," Owens recalled.
Owens' parents were approached at the meeting by Lawless, who verified there son was traveling interstate to attend high school and the next day Owens was permitted to go to Salesianum as its first black student on Monday. On Tuesday, four other students from Howard High School joined him, he said.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has ruled out allowing goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen to leave.
O'Neill told the Express & Star: "There were Premier League teams who were interested in taking him, but it wasn't going to happen.
"Barnsley might have approached (Villa chief scout) Ian Storey-Moore, but I didn't want Thomas to go.
"I didn't want us to be in the situation we were in last season when we had no goalkeeper and had to loan Gabor Kiraly.
"I didn't see that many clubs racing around to help us a year ago.
"So what was the point?
"We've got to get to the end of the season and we've got 12 games, so why put ourselves in a position like that where we might find ourselves short of cover?"

Most are there to support a family member or a friend, but everyone is there to support the effort to find a cure. We caught up with Kay Oesterling, reigning Walk MS: Baywood Greens top fundraiser for nearly 8 years, to discuss why she participates in Walk MS and how she is able to raise remarkable sums year after year, in spite of other obligations and even MS itself. "I'm not doing this just because I have MS, but for everyone who lives with MS," said Kay. As her MS continues to progress, muscle weakness, balance and vision issues, and fatigue make some daily tasks challenging for her. "I think everyone who deals with this unpredictable and debilitating disease learns to adapt and adjust their lifestyle. I used to be a fast typist, but since the progression of MS, my left hand can't keep up with my right hand," she shared. Kay's journey with MS treatments has been, Pictured left: at times, a rocky road. After several severe Kay Oesterling reactions to disease modifying therapies, she and Team Zoom now relies on symptom management such as Zooms Captain physical therapy, massage therapy, exercise, Monroe Colvett meditation and diet to help manage her MS.

Debbie Christensen, edmond, Okla. top fundraiser for the Oklahoma city Walk for the past 10 years, debbie's 79'ers, named for the year debbie graduated from high school, garners between $8,500 and $14,000 a year. debbie writes personal letters to some 300 people. "And if they don't respond, I might send a second letter. I can't hold a pen so my mother and mother-in-law do a lot of my writing. My church donates the postage." Top tip: Include a self-addressed stamped envelope to make it easy for people to send back a check. "It makes all the difference." NORThEAST Karen Waldron, Albany, n.y. raised $17,000 in 2010 Karen and her team Waldron's Walkers have participated in Walk MS every year since her diagnosis in 1997. Her favorite part of the whole event is a fundraising luncheon, that her mother, Sylvia d'Aprile, hosts at a local steakhouse. "the luncheon is a celebration of the Walk," Karen said. the restaurant donates the food and the staff donates their time. "We frequent that restaurant, and a cousin is an assistant manager." each year the luncheon has increased in size and funds raised.

LEARN MORE: Julie Hammond, diagnosed with MS in 2002, with son travis. courtesy of Greater new england chapter. the good news about planning a pregnancy when you have MS is that there's no evidence that MS has any effect on fertility; pregnancy usually reduces exacerbations (although flares do tend to increase postpartum); and good outcomes are the norm. nevertheless, making the decision to get pregnant can be complicated, primarily because of the physical challenges of MS, says Barbara Green, Md, director of the West county MS center, St. louis. "I also suggest women think about and discuss with their partners the emotional and financial challenges of raising a child, which could affect work and managing the disease." Meds, pregnancy and MS none of the disease-modifying drugs (dMds) are approved for use during pregnancy, and most should not be taken for a few months beforehand. "the risk time is when you're attempting to conceive," noted dr. Green. Plan a discussion with your neurologist about when to stop dMds--and when, after delivery, to begin them again.

TOLL-FREE NUMBER (800) 344-4867 | 7 52 MS geneS identified new MS therapy MoveS forward The first phase III study of alemtuzumab (proposed brand name Lemtrada) for relapsing-remitting MS found that the drug met one of two primary endpoints. Researchers found that people treated with the drug had 55% fewer relapses over two years compared to those taking the interferon Rebif. However, results of the trial's other goal, to delay disability, were not statistically better than Rebif. The study, called CARE-MS I, involved 581 people with relapsing-remitting MS. Another trial, called CARE-MS II, is still underway. Alemtuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that attacks the cells in the immune system that contribute to myelin damage. It is presently approved by the FDA to treat B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Sanofi and Genzyme, the drug's sponsor, plan to seek approval of this intravenous drug for MS in the U.S. in early 2012. In June 2010, the FDA designated alemtuzumab a "Fast Track Product," which should expedite its future review after results of the phase III trials are submitted. Research 8 In the largest MS genetics study ever, researchers have documented 29 new genetic variants associated with MS, and confirmed 23 others previously implicated in the disease. Most of the genes were related to immune function, and more than a third have already been linked to autoimmune diseases. A large number were related to T-cell function; T cells, a type of white blood cell, play a major role in the immune system's attack against the nervous system in MS. Also, two genes linked to vitamin D were found: research increasingly suggests that low vitamin D levels are a risk factor for developing MS. (The Society is funding a new clinical trial of vitamin D supplementation.) The study, a collaboration between the International MS Genetics Consortium and the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium 2, was published in the August 11, 2011, issue of nature, and involved nearly 10,000 people with MS and more than 17,000 who do not have the disease. While the results of genetics studies haven't so far resulted in the ability to do individual genetic counseling, these and further findings should help uncover what causes MS and improve treatments. The Society is funding a second large study to confirm and expand these results. | JOIN THE MOVEMENT www.MSdelaware.org featuring the delaware park $2 Million Shoot-out white Clay Creek Country Club for more details contact holly Maddams at (302) 655-5610 or firstname.lastname@example.com MS Pro-Am Golf Tournament June 25,2012 Bone health may Begin early by performing weight-bearing activities.

Study researchers measured bone density in 99 people newly diagnosed with MS or CIS, compared to 159 people without MS.

I would forget about the bleach and all the other harsh chemicals and give your bilge a bath in 'KO' which is a bacterial head tank treatment. Brush it? Yes. But to stronger chemicals like bleach are just going to kill everything inside and outside your boat (Raritan?).
Save the bleach and water solution for cleaning up mildew. 'KO' kills odors and I have no affiliation with this company.
My experience is that it works well as long as there is enough ventilation for it to do it's job. Not entirely 'green' but better than putting engine oil in the surrounding water.
I find it works great as a holding tank treatment too.

Psychologically Sophisticated Trading: The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing [View article]
Thanks for the data and comment. The key idea, indeed, is that returns are mean-reverting over a relatively short time horizon. In a recent post on my blogsite, I found no such mean reversion when looking at strong 100-day periods. At the other end of the spectrum, looking tick by tick, there are very strong reversion effects due to automated trade close to the market. Knowing the patterns that are relevant to your time frame is key. I appreciate the interest--

Yes, you can certainly think of this regime as one of short-term mean reversion. If you identify value regions (in Market Profile terms), you can handicap the odds of moves to the edges of the region breaking out vs. returning to the point of control.

Limits of Perception in Market Analysis [View article]
Yes, I do test a variety of indicators, including the % of stocks trading above their volatility envelopes (Bollinger Bands), number of stocks making new highs/lows, put/call ratios, etc. Because many of these indicators are highly correlated with price change, it's important to partial out price before looking at the unique predictive value of the indicator. I'll be posting some of this work shortly. Thanks for your interest--

Interview: Luciano Siracusano, Director of Research for ETF Firm WisdomTree Asset Management [View article]
I want to thank you and the Seeking Alpha team for the creation of a conversation between traders and industry leaders. I very much hope this is the first in a series of such forums.
My question builds on Roger Nusbaum's excellent query about international bond ETFs. There is a huge gap at present between those who trade positions (active retail and prop traders) and those who trade portfolios (hedge fund and bank traders; money managers). With the expanding universe of ETFs, I believe this gap will narrow and we will start to see individual traders becoming their own portfolio managers.
What education do you engage in and what education do you foresee in the near future to help the active trading world take advantage of what is literally a universe of trading possibilities, such as those mentioned by Roger?
Thanks again,

Sail more, see both!
We had sharks once, on the way from Newport to Bermuda in a millpond-calm sea. Every hundred yards or so in every direction there was the tip of a tail sticking up about 4" out of the water. They would each flop first to one side, and then off to the other as the sharks (basking??) cruised slowly along. When we came up to one, it would sink into the dark, and then reappear a few hundred feet aft.
Whales are much more fun. We were going transatlantic when we came across a pod of about 80 or 100 pilot whales. They lay in the water like telephone poles, with stubby little fins on their backs, and stubby, rounded jaws sticking forward of their heads, making little pfft noises as they jostled around in a big group off our starboard side. A few lifted their heads out of the water and splashed a little. They looked to be as big around as a 55 gallon drum (in the middle) and perhaps 30 or so feet long. They swam near us for about 10 to fifteen minutes, and then melted away.
On another night it was so foggy you could barely see the mast from the helm on our 38' sloop. We were sailing gently along at about 5 or 6 knots, with the bow wave making an occasional swish, when we heard snoring. Very distracting on the 00:00-04:00 watch, with everything else so quiet. Humph. Captain must need turning over, we said to each other, so I went below to give him a poke. Wasn't him; no snoring going on in the quarter berth below. It was louder aft than forward, though. I went to the backstay to listen. It was coming from about 10 feet aft of the transom, with the fog so thick that the stern light's blur only extended about three. A little bit later we noticed an occasional "poof" and swish sound off the leeward side as well. The two (maybe three?) whales "piloted" us through the change of watch, but were gone when we came back on at 0800.
On another day during the trip, a Finback whale gave us a distant perusal, coming up to breathe a few times within sight, several hundred yards off. When he (?) dove, you could see the long arching back and then the small fin, well aft. Didn't see any flukes.
It was really neat to see animals so at home in their environment. They reminded me of cows in a field. Solid, content, purposefully doing their thing and not worrying about it or us. Saw more whales more recently on a trip to Alaska -bubble feeding - but that was on a whalewatch tourist boat so doesn't count here.
