Heres a look at some of the books about or by Muhammad Ali:
The Greatest: My Own Story, by Muhammad Ali, with Richard Durham, 1975, Random House, New York
Like the champ himself, this is a work that blurs the line between facts and fiction. Includes the legendary story about Ali throwing his Olympic gold medal into the Ohio River after a fight with a racist motorcycle gang. (Edited by Toni Morrison, the future Nobel Prize winner for literature.)
The Fight, by Norman Mailer, 1975, Vintage International, New York
The larger-than-life novelist constantly referring to himself in the third person covers Muhammad Ali's upset victory over George Forman in Zaire. Mailer describes a Foreman sighting in a hotel: He did not look like a man so much as a lion standing erectly as a man. He appeared sleepy but in the manner of a lion digesting a carcass.
Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, by Thomas Hauser, 1991, Touchstone, New York
A 543-page oral history with memories from Alis manager, his wives, his brother, his best friend, media heavyweights, doctors, politicians, fellow boxers and others who knew him when.
King of the World, by David Remnick, 1998, Vintage Books, New York
The New Yorker magazine editor takes a turn at explaining Ali. It includes a moving chapter on Floyd Patterson, the establishments champ, who fell twice to Ali.
The Muhammad Ali Reader, edited by Gerald Taylor, 1998, Ecco Press, Hopewell, N.J.
Writings on Ali from Tom Wolfe, George Plimpton, Jackie Robinson, Jose Torres, Hunter S. Thompson, Bob Greene, Joyce Carol Oates and others.
Ghosts of Manila, by Mark Kram, 2001, HarperCollins, New York
Kram, who covered boxing for Sports Illustrated for 11 years, argues that Alis social significance has been greatly overstated by wishful thinkers, adulators and idolators.
Muhammad Ali Through the Eyes of the World, edited by Mark Collings, 2001, Sanctuary Publishing, London
Fifty-two interviews, with views and verdicts from Leroy Neiman, B.B. King, James Earl Jones, Rod Steiger, Maya Angelou, Jimmy Ellis and others.
Facing Ali, by Stephen Brunt, 2002, Guilford Press, Guilford, Conn.
Fifteen former boxers, including George Foreman, Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes, Ken Norton and Chuck Wepner tell what it was like to fight The Greatest.
The Lost Legacy of Muhammad Ali, by Thomas Hauser, 2005, Sport Classic Books, Wilmington, Del.
The author of the celebrated 1991 oral history finds the edge gone from the threatening figure of the 1960s now deliberately distorted by Alis handlers to make him warm, free of controversy and marketable.
Sound and Fury: Two Powerful Lives, One Fearful Friendship, by Dave Kindred 2006, Free Press, New York
The former Courier-Journal columnist examines the strange and wonderful chemistry between Ali and Howard Cosell, the abrasive television journalist. Cosell was perhaps the first journalist to call Ali by his Muslim name, and castigated boxing authorities for stripping him of his title.
The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Lifes Journey, co-authored by Ali and daughter Hana Yasmeen Ali, Simon & Schuster, 2004.
Memoirs and spiritual reflections, influenced by Alis interest in the Islamic mystical tradition of Sufism.

I have heard rumours that eating too much candy, or sugar can actually cause you to be diabetic, is this true? i need to know as i love candy and need to know if i should cut down.
To directly answer your question, while eating excessive amounts of candy and sugar is not healthy for anyone for a number of reasons (high calorie intake, dental health, etc), you will probably not get Diabetes just from eating a lot of sugar. Cutting down on your candy intake might help you to stay at a healthy weight and keep your teeth healthy though. Since you enjoy candy so much, you may want to try to curb this behavior by eating healthier foods as substitutes like fresh vegetables and fruits.
Here is some basic information on Diabetes so that you can understand the disease better:
In a healthy person, the pancreas produces insulin. Insulin is needed so that sugar can enter the cells to act as fuel for the body. Type I Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce insulin. Type II Diabetes occurs more frequently, and is caused by the body not producing enough insulin, or the cells ignoring the insulin, therefore not allowing sugar to access the cells and energize the body. Diabetes affects people of all ages and ethnicities. Those people who have a familial history of Diabetes have a higher risk of becoming Diabetic. Other risks include obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and a high fat/high sugar diet. While there are many signs and symptoms of Diabetes, many people do not recognize them or think that they are serious, and may have to get very sick before they get diagnosed and treated.
Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes
Being diagnosed with Diabetes is not a death sentence, with some basic lifestyle changes, and compliancy with medical recommendations, Diabetics can live happy and long lives. If you are concerned about Diabetes, are having any of the above symptoms or to get tested for Diabetes call your healthcare provider. Also check out the American Diabetes Association's website.

1955 Horatio Alger Award Winner
"Don't forget where you came from, and give back to those in need."
At the age of 12, Arthur Rubloff left grade school to make his way in the world. He shined shoes, sold papers, was a pin boy in a bowling alley for 50 cents a day, and worked as a galley boy on a Great Lakes freighter for 18 months. After moving to Chicago and working at a few odd jobs, he entered the real estate business. In 1930, he used his meager savings to organize his own company. Rubloff and Company became one of the largest real estate firms in the nation. He became known as "the man who changed Chicago" with his master plan for the North Loop, the redevelopment of Old Town, and the Carl Sandburg Village. He also developed Hyde Park's University Gardens. By the 1980s, the company had major projects in a dozen U. S. cities.* Deceased

2014 is halfway over already. Hard to believe!
The sun is shining after a rainy week, so we are taking advantage of the beautiful day. Benjamin, Joseph, Lovina and Kevin are out in the garden pulling weeds. My, how those weeds took over! Our garden is looking great, other than the weeds.
Our days are filled with all the work that summer brings. We canned rhubarb juice and put lots of strawberries into jam and pie filling. Our strawberries were all from sister Emma's patch. She had plenty for herself and could share with me. ...

I think what is stopping them is the uncertainty in Egypt. They are waithing for the fog to clear before their next move. I also think they are waiting to see what happens to Nyota. If they get their license, CEE could buy up another 38% of the company and get control probably by investing in the new mine. I also think Nubian Shield properties are thin on the ground at the moment. Plenty of political risk all around the Red Sea.

I don't really care who owns the rights, but I really don't want to see a reboot again so soon.
Or I guess more accurately, I don't want to see Garfield and Stone recast and another origin story told, because as much as I really liked Raimi's Spider-Man movies, I liked this last one even better. If Marvel got ahold of the property and tied it in loosely with their ongoing universe I'd be fine with that so long as it doesn't interfere with what Webb's planning for the second movie.
I really don't think future ownership will interfere with the next movie. IMHO, it will be claimed by the current Sony owners as "in the pipeline" and they will have full rights to it.
Movie 3, will likely be under discussion, but, I think II will proceed basically unimpeded

Cincinnati's Dion Dixon (3) and Sean Kilpatrick (right) congratulate each other during the Bearcats' 68-64 win over Georgetown.
- The University of Cincinnati Bearcats played some of their worst defense of the season for nearly 34 minutes Monday night, but were rock solid in the final 6:33 and turned back No. 11 Georgetown, 68-64, at the Verizon Center, presenting Mick Cronin with the 100th coaching win of his UC career.
Dion Dixon, who scored 22 points for UC, sealed the win with four free throws in the final 7.1 seconds after being shut out Saturday in UC's loss to St. John's.
"That was the worst game of my career," Dixon said. "I wanted to come back and get real focused and locked in. I knew I was going to play good. I was so ...

A serious water leak inside an astronaut's helmet forced NASA to cut short a spacewalk Tuesday outside the International Space Station.
European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano, who last week became the first Italian to walk in space, reported a buildup of water inside his helmet about an hour into an excursion with U.S. astronaut Chris Cassidy.
The water initially pooled in the back of Parmitano's helmet behind his head. But ultimately the water -- which apparently came from Parmitano's drinking-water bag -- floated into his eyes, and flight directors on Mission Control quickly ...

Researchers from Korea's Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and Samsung are reporting that they have increased the efficiency of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) by texturing the glass substrate with a photonic-crystal (PC) pattern. They are reporting an increase of 50% over a wide viewing angle but believe they can make up to an 80% improvement.
In order to enhance the extraction, a 200-nm thick layer of SiO2 was deposited on the glass substrate of the OLED. Next a square array of 200nm diameter rods with a 600nm lattice constant was created by holographic lithography and reactive ion etching. Finally this was topped with an 800-nm SiNx buffer layer and the OLED electrode and light-emitting active layer.
Emitted photons from an OLED come from one of three modes:
The research team maximised the extraction of photons from the high-index guided mode close to the light-emitting region for reasons of maintaining image quality for in display devices.

Land Rover Range Rover Sport Recalls
An electrical connector for the driver and/or passenger side seat airbag may become disconnected due to insufficient clearance for the wire harness within the seat. If this were to occur the affected side airbag would not function as expected in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will modify the area around the problem connector to prevent it from becoming accidentally disconnected.
On certain LR3 and Range Rover Sport vehicles. There is a misalignment between the steering column and air bag clock spring. This may cause a break in the airbag wiring and lead to the SRS Safety Restraint System light coming on. A bad circuit may also prevent the air bag from deploying, leading to injury or death. The dealer will insert 1mm spacers between the left hand side of the column switch mounting point and column lock to improve alignment of the column switch. Two foam pads will also be fitted to the top of the steering column switch gear to provide clearance between the cowl and clock spring face. The Land Rover recall # is P045
Certain aftermarket Thule hitch style bicycle racks with fold down style bike arms. A pinch bolt exists between the bike arm bracket and the upright assembly of the hitch style bicycle rack. When moving the bike arm bracket to its down position, this pinch point has the potential of causing a severe laceration or amputation to the users finger tips or hand. Thule will provide a repair kit and instructions free of charge

Oral cancer
|The English used in this article or section may not be easy for everybody to understand. (June 2013)
|Oral cancer
|Classification and external resources
In biopsy, the three exophytic masses turn out to be oral carcinomas, while the surrounding hyperkeratotic area shows histologic features of oral lichen planus.
Oral cancer is any cancerous tissue in the mouth.[1] It can present as a primary lesion in any of the tissues, by metastasis from a distant site of origin, or by extension from a neighboring anatomic structure, such as the nasal cavity. The oral cancers may originate in any of the tissues to the mouth, and may be of varied histologic types: teratoma, adenocarcinoma derived from a major or minor salivary gland, lymphoma from tonsillar or other lymphoid tissue, or melanoma from the pigment-producing cells of the oral mucosa. There are several types of oral cancers, but around 90% are squamous cell carcinomas,[2] originating in the tissues that line the mouth and lips. Oral or mouth cancer most commonly involves the tongue. It can also occur on the floor of the mouth, cheek lining, gums, lips, or palate (roof of the mouth). Most oral cancers look very similar under a microscope and are called squamous-cell carcinoma.

Glee is currently shooting a tribute episode to Whitney Houston that will include eight songs from the late great musical icon, sources confirm to us exclusively.
Unlike the previous tribute last month (Amber Riley performed "I Will Always Love You" and producers added in a dedication card), this Whitney episode was planned after Houston's death, and according to a reliable show source, will "not be a typical tribute"...
Exclusive: 90210 Star Taking a Break from CW Series Due to Illness
"It's using Whitney's music as a way to say goodbye," the source reveals. "A way to respectfully say thank you for her music."
I'm told that unlike the show's Madonna and Michael Jackson episodes, the Whitney tribute is more of a "character piece" that focuses on Glee's graduating seniors having a real hard time letting go.
Earlier today, Lea Michele herself tweeted: "Starting a new episode today. A very special tribute to one of the worlds most amazing singers. Very excited about this one."
As are we! In fact, this Whitney episode has all the makings of one of the series' most emotionally gripping to date. So count us in. (With a ginormous crate of Kleenex on stand by, just in case!)
Glee's next new episode airs April 10 on Fox. No date has been set yet for the Whitney tribute.

Markets Gain 11% on the Week
by Barry Ritholtz - October 31st, 2008, 4:28pm
Dow Industrials, Week of October 27-31
S&P500, Week of October 27-31
11% Hey, that's normally a pretty good year. Pretty solid week, with broad gains across all of the indices, mostly due to the big day we saw on Tuesday. But Thursday and Friday both saw upside action, too.
All told, a pretty wild, positive week.
What does this mean going forward? Is the bottom in?
What say ye?

Mannwich says:
Tough one for me. I'm still very bearish mid and long term but short term, who the heck knows which way this market will go? I just can't see how the pain can be over this quickly without at least one or two more serious falls but I can see the market slowly creeping up (probably on light volume) in the near term as the credit markets improve. I think the shorts are just waiting for that to happen before the pounce. I could also see the markets tanking as early as next week.
I have to stick with this outlook for now. The last time I went against my better judgment last October, I missed out on a great shorting opportunity. Although I did get about half short by early this year.
dead_hobo says:
Happy about the week. I made a few bucks and plan to buy when the next dip arrives. Happy days are here again, but beware the coming 10% dip next week or the week after
The new site looks good.
The registration needs work. I misspelled my first email address and it wouldn't let me use 'dead hobo' again. I had to hyphenate it. Then wordpress issued this god awful incomprehensible password that I won't even try to remember. On a brighter side, I did find the initiative to open up an anonymous mailbox on live.com. God only knows when I'll sign in again. It's too much work now.

Hedge funds haven't finished cashing out.
Yet to borrow the needed $3T in Treasuries.
Shipping L/C's still jammed (Baltic Dry).
Consumers have stopped buying goods and services, so the equities are overvalued.
Banks still aren't lending (but are paying bonuses and buying other banks with TARP$).
The dollar bubble hasn't burst yet.
Main street and Wall Street are still in major debt.
Those are a few reasons that I think a bottom isn't in!
rue morgue says:
this is the 20-25% pop we see before the fall. we've got (hopefully) another 15% on the plus side, then reality sets in. we will retest new lows when 4q/1q 09 numbers come in. keep yr powder dry.
also barry site looks great. very clean.

Don't think the "bottom" is in…I'm expecting "Holy Sh!t" type numbers for the next two employment reports…People are not spending…Remember if you think your poorer, you are poorer…And most people right now are poorer, either by unemployment, 401k losses, home values, Credit card companies cutting credit limits, etc…
The Christmas has been canceled memo will be circulated shortly…Merry Christmas!!!

Look thru these headlines…This IS the major difference between a financial event and an ECONOMIC event. Should this spill over continue it would seem hard to escape without considerable headwinds.
The reality…seeing that all currencies are suspect and at this point is understood…HOW can fiscal discipline be set by currency values? Answer? It cant…the venting is going to most likely take place in the GOVT bond markets adjusting ylds to reflect margins of safety. Should US rates take out these levels (TYX on http://www.bigcharts.com) we will have to adjust to several "new" variables. Whether current valuations have already taken these events into acct will only be known in hindsight.
All that said, U can control the level of the USD or hte level of rates…NOT BOTH. I find it hard to believe that the world will be "fooled" by the past tricks of the reflation trade. Should the mkts go higher I would assume the leaders will remain the same. OIH MOO PHO and other Marshall Plan type names. Plan for more excitement.
Concerned American says:
The bottom won't be in until the job engine is cranked back up. McCain doesn't get that at all. Barak claims to get it.
It seems from the reports we haven't even began to see the end of the layoffs. This may only be the beginning.
Unless Barak has a great idea and outstanding leadership (I am assuming he wins) we may have to wait until our labor rates are less than the rest of the world. I pray for Barak,
If McCain somehow wins, the only possible way out is kill the rest of the world and take all their stuff. He doesn't seem to have a business mind at all.
I am a former life long Republican if you are wondering. Voted for Ron Paul already. So no I don't support either of the supposed choices.

i started adding to my Dow short position today. First time since the ye olde financial short selling ban rally.
I sold down the homebuilders much in the same fashion. After a good leg down, you look from 1-3 short rallies before the next leg begins. I think we have at least another 12-16 months of selling before this is over.
The same stuff I heard about homebuilders a year ago, I'm hearing now concerning the broader market. Lots of chattering about "valuations" and "book value" and "low multiples" bullshat.
Btw, If anyone is looking for a great short selling book, check out William O'Neil "How to Make Money Selling Stocks Short." It's pretty technical, but really helps build your confidence. It's very mentally tough to go against the crowd, especially when the crowd starts losing.
batmando says:
For want of a thread more germane, I post the following here:
I literally live right across the railroad tracks (well, nowadays a rails-to-trails bikepath) from the likely, next U. S. Representative from my district, who has never held an elective office before and as an attorney may very well have little grounding in economics or markets, academic or practical. I'm thinking, gee, just how prepared will she be for evaluating the complexities of the current financial crisis and any legislation she'll be called upon to consider when the next Congress convenes. Does the CBO provide primers to new Representatives to get them up to speed? If so, is the info comprehensive? Fair and balanced, conveying the breadth of the economics spectrum and options?
So, I says to myself, what if Barry could have her ear (or eyes) for 5 minutes or even 15 or 30? What would Barry say or write? How would he summarize what's gone before and evaluate the options that should be put before the next Congress?
What if Barry wrote something short and pithy? What if Barry could get a few of his fishing buddies each to write their own précis of where the government should go from here, how and why? You know, maybe Roubini, Krugman, Kotok, Mish, Kedroskey, (name your favorite hobby horse rider), each could pitch in, boil it down to a page or two each.
If I had a resource like that in my hand, I'd walk across the tracks, past the fish pond and up to the big post-bellum mansion (it used to be a summer meeting place for the GOP high muckety-mucks, as I understand the history), knock on the door and say, "Here, this might help!"
Anybody else live next door to somebody who is "somebody" or knows "somebody" who might benefit from a little chap book like this?
Waddya say, Barry? At least as good as pissing into the wind, right?
krbecarson says:
btw, LOVE the new site! but what happened to essays & effluvia??
guru says:
rue morgue has it right. We're up 16% from the intra-day low on 10/27 to today's intr-day high. The rebound from the Tech Bubble Crash was 24.5%. When you draw two trendlines, one at the bottoms and one across from that rebound high, you're looking at only around a 1020 peak to this recovery move. I'm betting on a retreat from there back down after the Election to test whether that bottom holds. If you missed this 16% move you'll have another chance soon.
urbandigs says:
I know Im early and this rally will last, but I sold 75% of my longs from 8300-8400 levels and started opening up some shorts:
Problem is, when the market decides to fall again, you wont get a chance to get short because it will be too late. Anyway, Im betting on tons of more securities yet to be downgraded (alt-a, prime, etc..) that will cause a new round of liquidations to raise capital. Maybe the 125Bln could cushion this, maybe not. Maybe the TARP will be the place to offload these assets at better marks, maybe not.
However, with 300Bln already spoken for, seriously, how much will the remaining 400Bln save us? You know there will be another rescue fund needed! And who is going to save GM, F?
Lastly, outside of JPM/BAC/WFC (the new world megabanks), financials have not really participated in this rally. I mean markets up 11% for week, and GS down $5? Citi still at 13.65, you know something is coming for them. But, who knows. Im sure rally still has legs for a bit longer.

yoganmahew says:
What does anyone else feel about he idea that it is mutual fund rebalancing that has caused the spike over the week? We've seen the same spike in Europe (particularly in Ireland). I can say with some confidence that the economy over here hasn't been sprinkled with magic pixie dust and that the PMI numbers are dreadful!

PS is anyone else intimidated when they log in that they've got 127,000 comments waiting for their attention?
fubsy_cooter says:
I'm pryaing for the S&P to hit 1100 so I can begin intiating short positions that I will ride back down to the 500 to 650 level. I also hope the bull/bear readings/vix get decidedly bullish. Don;t get me wrong, I don;t hope for the downfall of our economy, that is something that was created by our leaders. I will, however take advantage of it so I don't go down with em. as always I set stops so if I am wrong I will not be destroyed, which I reserve the right to do half the time.
jason says:
This exactly what I feel is happening and why I fear Monday will be ugly.
karl k says:
Right now it appears that fundamentals — macro and micro — will be driving the markets. Since the net exposure on LEH CDS was just $6 billion, how bad could the rest of that be? GM anyone?
And having housing values reached the trough now? It would seem so, or certainly not have much further to fall.
I agree with the earlier poster that earnings are now key. The question is, which earnings level has been priced in? An 8% unemployment 3 quarter negative growth? Or a 10% unemployment 6 quarter negative growth?
I think the market has priced in the former. If the latter occurs, we're headed to 7000 and 725.
mlomker says:
I was long during the run up and I've been short since. That's obviously been a little painful but not as much as you'd think–since the big day the market has basically ran up during the day and liquidated at the end. It really hasn't made all that much progress…plenty of opportunities for those of you that have a shorter trading horizen than I have (a few days).
DP says:
I noticed today that QID was up at the same time all the major indices were up, is that normal? Around 3pm it was up around 1% when the Nasdaq was also up around 1% which made me think a run down was coming, and sure enough, it did (but didn't hold). Seems if I were a big fund about to dump I'd buy myself some QID first. Realistic? Seeing patterns that aren't there?
Also noticed AMZN really struggled the past couple of days while everything else was rallying. It hit 43 after lower guidance, ran up to 57 then just couldn't get any higher while everything else continued making gains. Looking like a good put candidate, although the puts on it are expensive as hell and depending how monday goes, may also be too late. Any thoughts?
As for the bottom? Not a chance. This week alone 4 of my friends (different companies) have been laid off. None of those companies have a job reduction announcement out — yet. I'm not including the other 2 who work for private companies.
matt says:
Do you think the bottom is in when we get a 10 percent up day? No. That only happens when markets are unhealthy. The dollar and the Dow will turn down by EOY.
gabriel says:
No, it's not normal to see QID and QQQQ moving in the same direction (obviously), but that is the problem with leveraged funds. They get out of whack every so often. I've seen this on SSO and SPY as well. They do get fixed eventually, every other day or so, but the correlation is hardly ever super perfect.
Eclectic says:
Charlie Minter over at Comstock has a pretty logical view:
I can't think of a more reasonable presentation of the relative value of the market, particularly in the manner he smooths earnings to trendline of about $70. He expects the trough to eventually show us a PE of 10, and thus an S/P of something like 700 or lower.
gabriel says:
Barry, nice site, but here are two more suggestions:
1. Ask your techs to put your favicon graphic on the site as well.
2. Now that you're using wordpress, you can use the wp-chunk addin that can neatly shorten the display part of a long url, such as the one in a comment above.
Thanks for the great info, as always!
Winston Munn says:
I do not believe it possible to escape with such a quick and relatively pain-free recovery after the forced disolvement of our 25-year marriage to profligacy. The sensation stirring the present rally is one of relief – relief that the financial world did not collapse and that the U.S. was not plunged into another Great Depression.
I am not so certain that we are not simply being lulled into a false sense of salvation. The L-shaped recession is still a valid risk.
Credit card defaults are rising. Commercial real estate will begin to faulter over the next few quarters. Consumers have only started to retrench. FCBs have started to dump their holdings in Fannie and Freddie paper, causing enormous pressure on those spreads and on mortgage rates. The Treasury supply needs have not been rectified and look as if additional increases may be needed. We are still relying on borrowed money to support that supply – if the demand for treasuries begins to sharply diminish along with the demand for Fannie and Freddie paper, it would cause a virtual collapse of the U.S. economy and the government's ability to function.
I think in one respect Greenspan got it right when he called this crisis a tsunami – a tsunami does not end with one gigantic wave crashing ashore – a tsunami come in sets of waves, one building on the residue of the last until everything in its path had been laid waste.
This rising tide not only lifts all boats, but afterwards, as it recedes, sucks all boats, beach houses, and swimmers back into the sea and drowns them.
I wouldn't wade too deep just yet into this rising tide without a raft and life perserver nearby.

sheople says:
I'm in agreement with the Concerned American. Things started spiraling when our manufacturing was shipped to other countries. Until we get those jobs back, our country will not get back on track. I'm thinking that tax "rebates", bailouts, nationalizing our businesses, and Ben & his chopper spreading money in the stock market is not going to be the answer. So much for our Constitution. I don't believe I will live to see things "back on track". What are we leaving for our children and grandchildren?
Steve Barry says:
Nouriel on CNBC saying he predicted 500 hedge funds will go bust and he was at a conference where someone predicted as many as 3000 will go bust. If that happens, market will overshoot to the downside and S&P could trade at 400.
Steve Barry says:
Nouriel is live on CNBC for the rest of the hour…of course they are calling him "Dr. Doom." Real nitwits…they can't imagine a bearish outcome.
Mike in Nola says:
Are all these new people? Saw hardly any names I knew as people worth listening to on this thread. Maybe it's the Halloween effect and everyone is masquerading.
Anyways, my 2 cents:
Barry made a great call and those who poked fun at him should apologize.
The does indeed appear to be the bear market rally we were expecting. No, those lows we saw a couple of weeks ago were not "the bottom," only "a bottom."
Analogizing to 1929, this could be a 50% rally, although I doubt it.
Based on the strength exhibited late today, I think we likely will see at least 10,000 on the DJI and quite possibly 11,000. Anyone who was looking saw some huge sell orders push the DJ down 200 points in the last 45 minutes. It soaked up the orders andrecovered nicely. How likely would that have been a couple of weeks ago? I think it also shows that the wholesale dumping is starting to be less prevalent, at least for the moment. Obviously, I don't think it's going straight up.
I expect things will start hitting the fan after the bad holiday numbers start sinking in, but that still gives it six weeks to run.
constantnormal says:
Yeah, NORMALLY 11% is a decent year.
Can I see a show of hands that thinks this is a normal year?
Thought so.
Only problem is, this year has been sufficiently perverse as to leave open the possibility of it ending either up 20% or down 40% … or any other randomly selected number.
We have a potential election honeymoon of uncertain length, the possibility that the consumer will surprise everyone and obliterate their remaining credit during capitulation Thanksgiving sales by merchants, and even the exceedingly unlikely possibility that the new administration will roll out an outstandingly competent cabinet and a credible plan to pull the nation out of the fiscal crash dive it is currently in.
There is also the possibility (probability) that the malls will be empty over the Thanksgiving weekend, that an increasing cascade of employers will announce a series of ever-larger layoffs, and that we will take some more turns around the deflationary whirlpool, with the economy shrinking more and more, until the national economic toilet is clogged with the turds of banks, insurers, and major corporations pumped so full of Fed hot air that they just won't flush.
Of course, the maximum perversity would be achieved by having the market do silly feints up and down from here, and close out the year with a nominal 11% gain.
Andy Tabbo says:
Very strange market action today. Had me a bit chopped up the last 60 minutes of trading. I thought we could see something closer to 1000 today….I guess others did as well….and we sort of fell apart into the close. As I've said several times on the other "market dynamics" blog entries….we'll get another low this year. The fact that the market today was setting new high's above 97o and it was just "grinding" above 970 was "telling." In tells me there was definitely SELL volume on any perceived 'breakout'…bulltrap?
The 985 level is the exact midpoint of the 23.6/38.2% retrace of a larger Wave 3 on the model I'm going with…it's an interesting level to reverse from and go much lower. However, of the ABC pattern that began on October 10th, I cannot see a clean 'finishing' pattern for the C leg. I would have loved for the SP500 to run to 1000 ish today….it would have been a clean pattern in my book and I could have sold the SP500 with reckless abandon….but the whole price action today was 'odd' for me. So, I will have to sit on the sidelines till the market tells me something new.
On a psychological/sentiment note…there were plenty of 'relieved' happy looking people on CNBC today….and the VIX has come way off….bottom callers all around the place right now….my gut says sell the piss out of this thing next week…but my technical side says wait to see the action.
krbecarson says:
I hate those ultra-short Proshares. I bought a bunch a few months ago, but the action was way too wild and unpredictable. I sold them way too quick, but I'm just not a big fan of that kind of volatility. With the Proshares it feels like your trading the VIX more than the underlying securities.
krbecarson says:
The DOG shares have been great though! almost right on the money. very reliable.

US annualized econ growth rate at record low-ECRI
Fri Oct 31, 2008 10:30am EDT
NEW YORK, Oct 31 (Reuters) – A measure of future economic growth in the United States slid to a seven-year low and its annualized growth rate dived to its lowest reading on record in nearly 60 years of data, a research group said on Friday.
The Economic Cycle Research Institute, a New York-based independent forecasting group, said its Weekly Leading Index (WLI) fell to 112.9 in the week to Oct. 24 from 114.0 in the previous period.
It now stands at its lowest level since Oct. 26, 2001, when it was 112.7.
*****The index's annualized growth rate dipped to negative 21.9 percent from minus 19.3 percent, its lowest going back to January 1949, when the index was first published, according to ECRI data.
"With WLI growth plummeting to the lowest reading registered in its six-decade history, the outlook for the economy has darkened dramatically." said Lakshman Achuthan, managing director at ECRI.*****
Mike in Nola says:
SSO has tracked the SPX pretty well the last couple of days. Same for UWM.
May be that the lower volatility is making tracking easier.
And guys, remember that for all the claims that the Market reflects the economy, it doesn't do so in a timely manner. We all (or almost all) knew that things were going down the toilet a long time before the market really tanked. So, just because things are bad and are going to get worse, that does not mean that the market will tank immediately. Joe Six Pack investor needs to figure it out first. That could take awhile if he's as stupid as Palin thinks he is.
Steve Barry says:
Apparently, as seen on CNBC, Nouriel welcomes being called Dr. Doom and is , according to this NY Post article, a part guy.
Steve Barry says:
That's "party" guy…where is the old preview feature?
Owner Earnings says:
We are too far from the end of the recession to be anywhere near a bottom.
People that shouldn't be in the market will have to sell until only people that can afford to be in the market are left.
DL says:
I'd like to see one more smackdown to S&P 850 before declaring that an intermediate term rally is likely.
I'm thinking that the election results will offer the catalyst for that pullback.
Also, Hank and Ben (and Bush) may decide that, with the election out of the way, they can actually go an entire month without a bailout or backstop.

GAO Investigating DHS Ammo Purchases
Republicans in Congress have introduced the AMMO ACT to limit enormous Department of Homeland Security Ammo Purchases. This comes after complaints that the DHS is buying 1000 more rounds per person than the army and may actually be driving up the cost of ammunition for the general public.
Well now, the Government Accountability Office is getting into the act. It's going to be investigating the large bullet buys by the DHS. GAO spokesman Chuck Young say the investigation of the ammo purchases is "just getting underway."
So far, this is how government is supposed to work. People perceive a problem, Congress looks into it and there's an investigation. Now, let's see what the answers to the questions turn out to be.
Why is the DHS stockpiling so much ammo? Is it just buying in bulk to save money or is it wasting your tax dollars? Let's get to the bottom of it and if it turns out DHS is acting irresponsibly, then Congress should close the purse strings and limit how much ammo DHS is buying.

Don't hate him just because he's outdoing you at everything you try.
The Strawman is our last archetype out of the initial round, and he's without a doubt better than any of the other loser types that we've covered up until now. After all, they all had one crippling flaw or another, and the Strawman neatly sidesteps all of those problems. He's the man with the plan, the dude with a justified attitude, and the solution rather than cause of all the problems your group of fellow players will encounter.
What is the character?
Simply put, the character is pure awesome distilled down into sauce form. He's usually had a tragic past in which his parents, siblings, and several loved ones were killed, not to mention something involving a cool scar. Forced servitude often features heavily. Despite this, he still found time to perfect a variety of skills, including but not limited to combat, philosophy, magic, history, geography, politics, and possibly motorcycle riding while playing shred guitar. (If neither motorcycles nor guitars exists, he will invent both.)
Of course, all of these things are intensely easy to learn during your spare time while having the requisite Dark Past, so you don't have to ever check up on whether he's better than you -- he just is. In fact, if you do anything alongside him, he'll probably screw up or downplay his astonishing skills just so you can feel like you did something important. After all, he's a magnanimous soul. He's also usually single, so ladies (or men as appropriate) should feel free to flock to him due to his rugged good looks and charming wit.
What's the angle?
So why does this brave Adonis seek adventure? Well, because he has a duty to all of the lesser lights in the world (galaxy, universe, etc.) to make their drab lives just a little bit better! Plus, it's not as if mundane life can offer him a great deal of challenge any longer. And there's something about his nature that just inspires him to keep wandering into the sunset, away from each town he's visited, which is most definitely not worse off than when he arrived.
There's fortune to be won and fine damsels (or fellows) to woo, of course, but the Strawman would never think to cite either as his main objective as he travels, even if the people he inflicts his help upon occasionally need to be reminded about the promise of a reward. (Multiple times, even.) But he does it purely for the glory, glory which he's sure to share with everyone else in fair amounts and which he'll make sure is known the world over purely for educational purposes. He doesn't need to be the center of attention; it just happens independent of anything he does or any amount of winking and nudging.
And let's not forget his brave companions, of course, people who are inspired by his bold figure and struggle to distinguish themselves. Sure, they might not have the Strawman's ability and they might be deeply flawed in various ways, but the Strawman honors their efforts and their inevitable noble sacrifices, surely made to prevent the world from being rid of the true hero.
What makes it interesting?
What makes it interesting? You're the best! Playing this character means you've won -- what's not to love? And really, isn't that the most important thing in roleplaying, to start off as an incarnate deity without flaws who makes everyone else smaller by his radiant presence?
Of course, some people will argue that the Strawman isn't actually as awesome as he appears. After all, despite being repeatedly proven awesome, he's often less articulate and skilled than he claims, frequently causing problems and raising the ire of others. These scandalous claims sometimes extend even further, accusing the Strawman of being a drain on the roleplaying group as a whole in both gameplay and storylines, a juvenile character created by a player with a desperate need to overcompensate. They might even suggest that playing one straight is interesting simply because the Strawman is all bluster and no talent.
People who talk like this are probably communists. Or fascists. Or both. The point is, the Strawman is super-great and certainly doesn't prop up his player's ego in the slightest, nor can he be played for laughs unless he chooses to make a joke at someone's expense.
What should I keep in mind?
Tragically, most players can't remember at all times how awesome your character really is, so it's helpful to remind them. Do so frequently, in fact. Let anyone in the midst of any task know that the Strawman could do it better and faster, possibly while also curing cancer with the power of his mind alone. Everyone likes knowing that there's a standard to live up to. Similarly, you should remind people that your character has no flaws, because flaws are for failures, which the Strawman is most definitely not. If he splashes acid in his eyes, he'll develop super vision and shoot fire from his tear ducts or something.
Should some poor jealous soul accuse your character (or you!) of having an ego, patiently explain that your ego is entirely in step with how supremely awesome your character is. You may wish to mention that said character owns several leather-bound books, just to reinforce the fact that he is as awesome as advertised.
Oh, the archetype name? Science shows "Strawman" is the most awesome name ever. It certainly means nothing in any debates, and you needn't bother looking it up on Wikipedia or anything. Seriously, you shouldn't even bother.
If you've missed one of the previous archetype columns, here they are, even though none of them is as good as the Strawman:
- The Soldier
- The Rogue
- The Scholar
- The Paladin
- The Partisan
- The Mentor
- The Errant
- The Trapped
- The Defiant

Commitment to Professionalism - Reduced Crime & Victimization - Investigative Excellence - Increased Efficiency & Effectiveness
Copyright © 2015, Edmonton Police Service. All rights reserved.
Edmonton Police Service > Community Policing > Family Protection > Prostitution > Legalities of Prostitution
There are often misconceptions about what is and is not legal when dealing with prostitution. Below you will find information on the legalities of exchanging money for sex.
The following acts relating to prostitution are not against the law:
Being a Sex Trade Worker
It is not illegal to be a sex trade worker if you are over 18.
Many business owners who own establishments where Sex Trade Workers congregate are frustrated with why the police cannot simply go and arrest someone who is standing on a corner and is obviously a Sex Trade Worker. Loitering is not illegal. In the past, Sex Trade Workers could be arrested under vagrancy laws if they were standing for some time on a street corner. These laws were repealed some time ago. Police can only encourage Sex Trade Workers to move from a certain location. They cannot arrest them unless they are doing something illegal.
Supporting family members:
Sex Trade Workers who use their wages to support their children are not committing an illegal act and the children cannot be charged with "living off the avails of prostitution."
Escort agencies:
It is not illegal for an individual to work for an escort agency as long as they are licensed to do so by the city. Further, engaging in non-sexual services while working for the agency is not illegal. For example, an escort who merely accompanies a john, or client, to a social gathering is not doing anything illegal. However, if it is implied that a sex act is available but will cost the client extra and a discussion ensues about price for sexual services, and if the discussion occurs in a public place, then the john and the escort are committing an illegal act (i.e., communication for the purpose of prostitution -- s. 213). If, however, the discussion occurs in a private residence, no offence has been committed.
Massage parlours:
It is not illegal for an individual to work for a massage parlour as long as they are licensed to do so by the city. Further, engaging in non-sexual services while working for the parlour is not illegal. A masseuse who actually just gives massages is not doing anything illegal. Performing sexual services in a massage clinic may be illegal if the police can prove the clinic is a place which has prostitution as its purpose. If it is implied that a sex act is available but will cost the client extra and a discussion ensues about price for sexual services, the masseuse and client are committing an illegal act (communication for the purpose of prostitution -- s. 213) unless the discussion occurs in a massage room. In that case, no illegal act has been committed.
The following acts relating to prostitution are against the law:
Communication for the purpose of prostitution -- s.213:
Often called solicitation. If anyone talks to a Sex Trade Worker about exchanging sexual services for money or other consideration (e.g., drugs, payment of bills, gas, food, etc.) and this occurs in a public place they are committing an illegal act. This includes a car on a street or in a parking lot or any place which the public has access (e.g., restaurant, hotel lobby, etc.). Without an intention to engage in sexual services there is no offence. So, in other words, if you stop to ask a Sex Trade Worker for the time, you are not committing an illegal act, but if the subject of money for sex comes up and you contribute to the discussion (e.g., so how much for ...?) you are committing an illegal act.
Procuring -- s. 212 (1) (a) (d):
Also called pimping, it is against the law. You cannot entice a person who is not a prostitute to become a prostitute under any circumstance.
Exercising control, direction or influence -- s.212 (1) (h):
Another form of pimping or extorting vulnerable people. If someone exercises control, direction, and influence on where a Sex Trade Worker goes and who a Sex Trade Worker goes with they are committing an illegal act. Escort agencies and massage parlours can be prosecuted under this law. The only way an escort agency or massage parlour can avoid breaking this law is if they allow the escort or masseuse to decide if they want to go to a date without penalizing them for refusing.
Living on the avails of prostitution -- s. 212 (1) (j):
Another law against pimps. Though it is usually used against pimps, and escort agencies and massage parlours can be charged with this offence. A mother who sends out her daughter, or a boyfriend who sends out his girlfriend to be a Sex Trade Worker and takes a cut of the profits, are examples of other individuals who can be charged with this offense. This does not apply to the support of children that a Sex Trade Worker may have.
Obtaining sexual services of a person under 18 -- s. 212 (4):
This law only applies to johns or clients of Sex Trade Workers. It is a very serious offense to try to obtain the sexual service of a child (defined as an individual under 18). Further, a person could be convicted of an attempt to obtain sexual services of a person under 18 where the Sex Trade Worker is over 18 but the john believes she is underage.
Common bawdy-house -- s. 210:
It is illegal to own, operate or even be in a bawdy house. Most people think of a bawdy house as something like a brothel, but this can apply to any place that is frequently and habitually used for the purposes of prostitution. Johns found in the premises will be subpoenaed to court to give evidence about their experience on the premises. Massage parlours can be prosecuted under this law.
Indecent act -- s. 173 (1):
Also called exposure. Most people think this only applies to flashers or other sex offenders, but if a john and a Sex Trade Worker are engaging in a sex act in a public place they can both be charged with this offense if they intended to offend passerby, or if the act takes place in the presence of other persons.
Other offences that might apply are sexual interference (s. 151) and even sexual assault (s. 271) if the Sex Trade Worker is under 14; invitation to sexual touching (s. 152); sexual exploitation (s. 153); anal intercourse (s. 159); and, child pornography provisions (s. 163.1).

Radiation is sometimes used to help relieve the pain and discomfort of liver cancer by shrinking the tumor. One of the limitations of radiation therapy in liver cancer is that normal liver tissue cannot tolerate the doses required to treat the cancer. Newer techniques, such as 3-D conformal radiation and stereotactic body radiation therapy, which provide less radiation exposure to normal tissue, are often used rather than standard radiation therapy. Unfortunately, radiation therapy has not been shown to help improve survival of liver cancer patients.
These are some of the most common side effects of radiation for liver cancer:
Tiredness and fatigue
Dry or irritated skin
These side effects often go away when treatment ends. Medication can help many of the side effects. Getting radiation at the same time can worsen the side effects of chemotherapy.
The liver is very sensitive to radiation. If your whole liver is treated, you may develop radiation hepatitis. This liver injury is caused by radiation to normal parts of the liver and limits the use of radiation therapy in this cancer.

Dim Sum and Then Sum
Ever since our little adventure to the Vietnamese restaurant last month, Mrs. Winston and I have decided to broaden our culinary horizons and try new things. So on Sunday, we packed up the kids and headed out for dim sum. Dim sum is the name for a Chinese cuisine that consists of a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. It is usually served in the mornings until noontime and is often thought of as the Chinese equivalent of brunch. Dishes come in small portions and may include meat, seafood, and vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit. The items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate. Chinese families typically like to gather at Chinese restaurants for dim sum on occasions such as Mother's Day or Chinese New Years but you'll find foodies of all types there just about every Saturday and Sunday.
As I quickly discovered, one of the best things about dim sum is the rapidity of service. You literally sit down and food arrives at your table. Steam carts piloted by mostly smiling Chinese women, cruise by your table while the servers lift lids and describe the dishes. The adventure comes from not always understanding exactly what is in a particular dish. For example, I bit into what felt like a raw meatball and found it less than delightful but a steamed pork bun quickly replaced the memory of that bad bite. Sweet meat and dough can cure almost anything. My wife's favorite was the pork shaomai and the kids gobbled up custard filled buns like it was Christmas. As for me, I liked it all—the pork buns are hard to beat but I also loved the har gow (shrimp) and the bok choy swimming in gravy. We had such a good time, we decided to make dim sum a monthly Winston tradition.
Since I particularly enjoyed the Chinese tea—we drank pots and pots of it out of tiny cups—today's offering from Rush Imprint is Instant Iced Tea. It's not exactly traditional and it's not Chinese, but it is the perfect refreshing addition to a customized gift basket. Your logo or personal message is imprinted on your choice of silver or gold foil packaging to make it an ideal promotional gift.
I've got to get ready for my next speaking engagement—my son's school is having a "Bring Your Parent To School Day" and six year olds can be brutal. As a famous Chinese proverb says, "Do good, reap good; do evil, reap evil," and as my dear old dad says, "Give good promotional gifts, reap good clients."

How many sessions will I need for my stomach with Vanquish?
Doctor Answers 4
Vanquish Treatments
How many sessions of Vanquish do I need?
We currently perform a series of 5 treatment packages since the manufacturer recommendation is 4-6. What we are changing is the treatment times. I monitor the patient loss on measurements between treatments and decide if certain patients are slower to respond and we would consider increasing their treatment time.
Dr.Grace Liu
Web reference: Https://www.newportcoastdermatology.com
Typically 4-6 sessions for Vanquish to see meaningful results
There is a learning curve for offices to deliver Vanquish results. Our office has invested time and energy to counsel patients on the importance of hydration prior to treatment, and ensuring that patients get an excellent treatment with proper positioning.
With excellent patient positioning, and proper hydration, 4-6 sessions will result in a visible change in the stomach "pooch" reduction. My feeling is that larger patients sometimes experience more fat loss because there is more fat in the treatment area. Thinner patients may experience more modest results as there is less fat to lose. The average waist circumference loss after 4 Vanquish treatments was 2 1/4 inches 1 month after treatment (according to a clinical study).

When in doubt for Halloween, stick with the mask
When I was a kid, my siblings and I would dress up for Halloween parties at school. We'd wear the costume, but never the mask.
My mother's reasoning was that you couldn't see peripherally in the masks and we walked to school. The year I went as Wonder Woman, I had the "kidded-down" version of her outfit, but you could still see my face. (Why do female superheroes have to fight crime half-naked in skintight gear, while the guys are fully clothed? They probably never had to worry about wedgies.)
I was pretty bothered, even at 6 years old, about not being able to wear the mask. How can you really be Wonder Woman without the mask?
Now I know what I should have done. I should have had my mother put lighter makeup on me so that I looked white, right?
Wrong? You really think it would upset someone? Who would get offended by that?
Julianne Hough, a professional ballroom champion of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," got raked over the coals for dressing for Halloween as the character Crazy Eyes from "Orange Is the New Black."
Critics said Hough was in blackface. Well, that's not blackface. The definition of blackface is painting one's face in extra dark makeup and accentuating stereotypical features of a black person. That is offensive, and a shameful part of our country's history.
The dark face paint and big, white-painted lips worn by fashion designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua for a costume at last week's Hallowood 2013 "Disco Africa" party in Italy — now that was blackface.
Putting on darker makeup so you can complete your Beyoncé costume, however, is not the same thing. If you think that reminds people of the history of performing blackface, then the solution is simple. Never dress up as someone outside your racial group. Yes, that will mean that only black people can dress up as the president of the United States for the next few Halloweens. Unless you're wearing the mask that comes with the costume, which is of a black face.
If you're a white male, you could wear a business suit and tell everyone you're supposed to be Barack Obama. Because if you don't, everyone will think you're Luke Ravenstahl pretending this year to be an adult. (Or will he be a ghost?)
Some argue that the "trick-or-treat" part of Halloween is in the costume. If your costume is good enough, you get a treat. Who wouldn't dress up in a crazy costume to get a "snack-size" Snickers? (Yeah, that size is a snack — for a toddler, and toddlers shouldn't be eating that crap. Adults should.)
Think this shouldn't matter to you? OK, then dress as an inanimate object, like a refrigerator. A gray refrigerator, just to be safe.
Better yet: Let's leave Halloween to the kids. Because as with just about anything else, the adults always ruin it.

|Some history/fact/info on me.
Back in my elementary years around the end of the 4th grade the teachers got tired of trying to teach me. This lead to them under the principles orders to just give me the answer books. As the old folks say "I got passed up a grade." Rather passing it or not. It does not help their special ed class were limited but I guess Red bank TN elemenarty school was lucky to have one. Anyway this created issues bullies up their ire on me as their dads where members of higher standing and they wished they could get passed "up a grade". Despite my inability to write well I was bright, I was told many times if I got math right and wrote more legibly I would be in the smart kids special ed and not the slow leaner's one. Outside of that I was well mannered a bit of a cut up and rarely gained the ire of the schools staff.
By the time I hit the middle of the 5th grade I could not take it anymore the teachers moods were varied and that was a stresser add the bullies and I was headed for a break down. The frist day of the 6th grade I had one and never went back to public school but for a small stint in the 7th or 8th or so but that did not work out. I however did do home schooling up till the 10th or so when funds ran out for new school manuals.
Currently today I am people shy, mostly small crowds, large crowds of 200+ it's the opposite I can lose myself due to the higher numbers, 5-50 I get anxious and sooner or later flight or fight impulses kick in. Grammar wise I am a bit sharper but not much smarter. Grammar, spelling is always elusive to me like dating. . . I like my rock. LOL
Anyway where was I, ah yes learning disabilities thought the years I have been diagnosed with written expression, de-calculus, ADD, ADHD , Dyslexia, Dysgraphia/ Agraphia. Now add into the mix a house fire in 96(IE loss of home), a sewer flood in 97/98(loss of home), Condemnation of house in 04 with mother being found to have terminal cancer living in and out of public housing emergency housing and motels to finally getting into public housing to have mom die 3 2 months later…. And just as things where looking up my dad died 9 months later around the same time of Richard Pryor. Then another move to over the mountain to the old farm with my grandmother and her sister.

"Day in the Park with Dad" at Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia on Friday grows in popularity.
Wes Thompson works six days a week building pipelines for the oil and gas industry. When the father of four and stepfather of one gets time with his children, it's precious.
On Friday, he and his brood were attending a birthday party at Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia when they were told another event was taking place, called "Day in the Park with Dad."
The 28-year-old Uhrichsville man was surprised to learn the free event was taking place, including all rides at the park, the open swimming pool and other amusements, such as featured storytellers and a magician. The Center of Science and Industry (COSI) also was putting on a science program called "The incredible Human Machine," and Lowe's instructors were on hand to help fathers and children "Build and Grow" wood projects.
"I guess I'll sign up and try it," he said. Thompson took note of his eager children: Mylie, 3, Spencer, 4, Ethan, 6, and Gavin Thompson, 7, and Dawson Schaffer, 10, all discussing which ride was their favorite.
Thompson was grateful for the extra event for him and his children.
"I like to spend time with them," he said.
Time was the focus of the Friday event, which lasted from 2 to 7 p.m.
"I think spending time together is invaluable," said Harry Wilson, the facilitator for Father Time HARCATUS Head Start, an organization focused on building relationships between men and their children. The organization holds classes throughout Harrison, Carroll, Tuscarawas, Coshocton and Columbiana counties.
Wilson said it was also geared toward father figures, such as uncles, grandfathers and stepfathers.
He said his organization specifically chooses the Friday before Father's Day to focus on the family relationships. In the five years since the event began at Tuscora Park, Wilson said the numbers have doubled with at least 800 people participating last year.
"With the good weather ... I imagine our attendance will be even higher this year," he said.
Wilson said the event, which also is supported by several volunteers and agencies in Tuscarawas County, is a great way " to honor the special relationship dads have with their children."
"Personally, what I enjoy doing is just watching the dads and kids having fun together in a relaxed setting where they can concentrate on each other and share projects, work together and just have fun."

Eager for a bit more Project Natal news now that Jonathan Ross let slip what may or may not be a launch date? Then you're in luck, as MTV's Multiplayer blog has taken advantage of a recent Natal demo session to peg down exactly how much lag we can expect from the motion-sensing system (assuming it's not fine-tuned any further, that is). After timing some 40 movements with a stopwatch, the site found that "life-to-screen" transitions ranged from 0.08 seconds to 0.12 seconds, or about a tenth of a second on average. That's obviously a bit slower than the response of an old fashioned controller (or even a Wiimote, for that matter), and is just enough to be noticeable when you're playing. Of course, it's the games that will ultimately matter the most, and we still haven't seen much more news on that front.

Hello! I've always wanted a *good* camera or camcorder. I like to take videos of me riding and take pictures of my horse, but its virtually impossible with my $50 kodak. It's so bad. Pictures are blurry, videos are really unfocused. I'd like it to be around $300 or under. An HD camcorder that also takes high quality pictures would be amazing...and I'd like to it to have a decent battery life. Reviews on some of these camcorders say some only last like 20 minutes before they need to be charged again.
I looked at the Toshiba Camileo x100, it looked like a pretty basic, beginners camcorder. I really liked the video quality, but the battery is not good at all :/
If anyone has any camcorders/cameras in my price range that they would reccomend, please post! Thank you! :)

|Calcium oxalate stone and gout.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19779706 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Gout is well known to be produced by increased uric acid level in blood. The objective of this paper is to assess the relationship between gout and calcium oxalate stone formation in the humans. 48 patients with combination of gout and calcium oxalate stone problem were included. The biochemical values of this group were compared with 38 randomly selected uric acid stone patients with gout, 43 stone patients with gout alone, 100 calcium oxalate stone patients without gout and 30 controls, making a total of 259 patients. Various biochemical parameters, namely serum calcium, phosphorus and uric acid and 24-h urine calcium, phosphorus, uric acid, oxalate, citrate and magnesium were analysed. ANOVA and Duncan's multiple-range tests were performed to assess statistical significance of the variations. The promoters of stone formation, namely serum calcium (P < 0.05), phosphorus (P < 0.05) and uric acid (P < 0.05) and urine calcium (P < 0.05), uric acid (P < 0.05) and oxalate (P < 0.05) were significantly variable in the different groups. The inhibitor citrate (P < 0.05) was also significantly variable. Multiple-range test showed that the promoters, namely serum calcium (P < 0.05) and urine uric acid (P < 0.05) were in a significantly higher range in the gouty patients, gouty uric acid stone patients and gouty calcium oxalate stone patients compared to the non-gouty patients and controls. Urine oxalate (P < 0.0001) was in the highest range in the gouty calcium oxalate or gouty uric acid stones patients. The inhibitor urine citrate (P < 0.001) was significantly lower in the gouty, gouty uric acid and gouty calcium oxalate patients. Serum uric acid was highest in the non-stone gouty patients, followed by the gouty uric acid stone formers and gouty calcium oxalate stone patients. The high values of promoters, namely uric acid and calcium in the gouty stone patients indicate the tendency for urinary stone formation in the gouty stone patients. There is probably a correlation between gout and calcium oxalate urinary stone. We presume this mechanism is achieved through the uric acid metabolism. The findings point to the summation effect of metabolic changes in development of stone disease.
