PCM Basketball Facing Colfax-Mingo Tonight
Posted By Sports On December 13, 2011 @ 5:59 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
PCM tries to get both of its high school basketball teams back on the winning track tonight, as the Mustangs host Colfax-Mingo.
The PCM girls have dropped back-to-back games after winning four of their first five, and sit at 2-3 in the Heart of Iowa Conference.
The Mustang boys, meanwhile, have struggled to find their offense in a pair of upsets that closed last week on a sour note, as PCM slipped to 4-2 overall and 3-1 in conference play.

Boat crash on Intracoastal Waterway near Hollywood sends two to hospital
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - A boat rammed into a seawall or dock on the Intracoastal Waterway early Monday, critically injuring one rider and leaving another with lesser injuries, officials said.
The impact from the 1:20 a.m. collision threw a woman from the vessel, in the 3500 block of South Ocean Drive, near the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa, according to Hollywood Fire Rescue Division Chief Mark Steele said. Hallandale Beach Fire Rescue took her to the hospital.
But a man remained on the damaged boat, trapped in a crack from the crash, Steele said. In Hollywood, firefighters cut the boat and freed him, Steele said.
The boat occupants were described in their 40s. Their names have not been released, and their latest conditions weren't available.
The crash is under investigation by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, according to spokeswoman Carli Segelson. The agency's law enforcement officers were inspecting the boat after it was docked at Westin Diplomat.
This story will be updated as soon as more information is available.

Are you looking for a new diving site to explore? Then look to none other than Jacques Cousteau, the "father of scuba diving," and check out one of his favorite dive spots! Here are just three locations where you can dive in the fin steps of Cousteau:
Blue Hole, Dahab: Located in Dahab, Egypt, the Blue Hole is great for recreational diving, technical diving and snorkeling, and the perfect dive spot for your next adventure! The Blue Hole is about 80 meters/300 feet in diameter and opens to the Red Sea through the arch, which is a 26-meter-long tunnel and is an amazing dive for those with the correct training.
If you prefer shore diving, the Blue Hole is for you. All you have to do is hop in — no swimming or boat rides required! The Blue Hole also boasts warm waters, great visibility and almost no current.

Sipadan, Malaysia: Some of the best dive sites have lost their appeal over the years due to pollution, overfishing and other damage, but not Sipadan, Malaysia. In fact, it's still considered one of the nation's best diving spots! Even Cousteau himself said, "I have seen other places like Sipadan 45 years ago, but now no more. Now we have found an untouched piece of art."
Sipadan is probably best known for its unusually large number of turtles. Other common animals you will see while diving are barracuda, mantas, eagle rays, scalloped hammerheads and whale sharks.

The Blue Hole, Belize: Dive into The Blue Hole that was named one of the top 10 scuba diving sites in the world by Cousteau. This hole-in-the-reef site is more than 300 meters/1,000 feet across and 135 meters/450 feet deep, and has plenty to see, including bull sharks and fascinating stalactite and stalagmite formations.

Learning from Venus
Page 2 of 2
Then came Magellan. Launched in 1989 and operating until 1994, Magellan "more than all the other spacecraft combined," transformed Venus into a place, writes Grinspoon. The orbiter, carrying an onboard radio telescope that could resolve surface features as small as a football field, generated the radar equivalent of an Above Venus photo book.
According to an effusive Grinspoon, "It was like finally, after decades of squinting, getting the right prescription for your glasses and seeing the world in focus." What Magellan "saw" was a well-preserved assortment of volcanic features (including pancake domes, meandering "river beds" apparently carved out by molten fluid, and basalt plains), tectonic scars (folds, fractures, and faults), prominent highlands, and highly reflective mountaintops. The surface, averaging only 500-600 million years old ("What's a hundred million years among friends?" quips Grinspoon in a footnote), displayed only about 900 craters, prompting scientific speculation that a catastrophic event induced a "planetary makeover" about half a billion years ago.
In Grinspoon's view, the findings of Magellan and other spacecraft have shown Venus to be our planet's "fraternal twin." While differing severely in many characteristics, Venus closely matches earth in others-size, mass, and distance from the sun, a geologically active and volcanic surface and an evolving atmosphere with complex chemical cycles.
Indeed, Venus's atmosphere and clouds display processes with strong analogies to environmental problems on earth, compelling Grinspoon to include a section entitled "A Case of Venus Envy?" The atmosphere contains greenhouse gases (principally carbon dioxide), which trap heat beneath the clouds, globally warming the planet's surface in a process similar to what happens on earth. Atop Venus's clouds, ultraviolet light rips apart fluorine and chlorine compounds, yielding chemical compounds that deplete ozone-a discovery that contributed to scientists' investigations of a similar phenomenon on our planet. And Venus's sulfur dioxide clouds produce acid rain, a form of precipitation that continues to threaten earth's lakes and forests.
These similarities-especially the green-house effect-have led many scientists to support missions to Venus, touting our sister planet as a model of what earth might become unless we significantly reduce our fossil-fuel consumption. But Grinspoon convincingly argues that "the lesson we can learn from the Venusian climate is not Don't let this happen to your planet,' but rather Here is another nearby planet with a complex, evolving climate system; study it and you will achieve a more mature, less provincial understanding of planetary climate.' And that could save our hides."
While Grinspoon clearly supports robotic space exploration for curiosity's sake ("Beauty and mystery are reason enough to explore"), and argues that the United States could fly five advanced geoscience and climatology missions to Venus for the $1 billion cost of a Stealth bomber, he stresses that such projects are "ultimately vital to maintaining and enhancing the planetary perspective that may save us from ourselves." Grinspoon deftly shores up this argument by pointing out how Apollo photos of earth "forever changed the self-image of earth's inhabitants, helping to awaken our latent planetary identity." The first indication of this was the inaugural Earth Day (1970). Moreover, the Apollo mission led scientists to sound the alarm about the potential harm of chemical reactions associated with CFCs to earth's ozone layer. After several scientific papers, research programs, and global conferences, international agreements were forged to phase out CFC use.
Despite these success stories, funding space exploration remains a gamble, since there's never a guarantee that learning about the unknown will pay off in more than intellectual terms. Although Grinspoon makes an interesting case for the practical potential of Venus exploration in addressing earth's environmental problems, he fails to adequately explore the relative cost-effectiveness of more direct approaches, such as targeted economic and technical programs. A case in point is NASA's up-coming Mission to Planet Earth project, which aims to systematically study our planet with remote-sensing satellites.
In a final chapter about the possibility of life on Venus, Grinspoon's literary journey begins to veer onto dirt roads. He speculates on prospects for finding or introducing life on Venus and the significant challenges of manned planetary missions. While these side trips are intriguing, they ultimately distract the reader from the book's central theme-the excitement and practical value of planetary exploration.
On the whole, however, Grinspoon's joyride to Venus and back is truly consciousness-expanding, transforming our nearest planetary neighbor into much more than a bright dot in the sky. If you read Venus Revealed inside, you may find it difficult to suppress the urge to lay it down, go outside, and catch a glimpse of our spellbinding celestial twin.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Beanbag grew a large fan base with the release of two demos, an EP, and a number of high-energy live shows in Australia before reaching the market in the United States in about 1998. In 2000, the foursome saw the release of a debut full-length album under the brand new Inpop Records label, backed by Peter Furler, Wes Campbell, and Sparrow Records. The album, Free Signal, carries punk metal tracks like "Bite the Hand," "Disturbed," and "Happy Dispatch." The impressive debut brought the group two nominations for Dove Awards: one for Best Hard Rock Album and one for Best Hard Rock Single for the tune "Whiplash."
Since the band formed, Beanbag has played at a large assortment of festivals in both Australia and America, always bringing a positive message to audiences. After a whirlwind introduction, Beanbag resurfaced in early 2001 with Welladjusted. ~ Charlotte Dillon

Nathan came to us from Windhoek, Namibia, in the southern part of the Motherland. He was influenced by Bob Marley's music with the positive message of liberating Africa from colonial powers while experiencing apartheid rule. He started playing guitar at age 12, and played in several bands in his homeland. Nathan relocated to New York in 1983 and performed with several world beat bands. After he moved to Kalamazoo, he formed his band "Yoroka" and soon became a welcomed cultural act.
We lost Nathan in August of 2008, and it has been a terrible void in our lives. We will continue to play his music and carry him with us always.
Simba Jahi - was one of the founding members of the band along with Nathan Ndjiharine, and current drummer Preston Moore. Simba has more than 25 years of music under his belt, and plays bass with such a passion that makes others take note.
Laurent Sagna hails from Senegal. He has played drums for Zion Lion for over a year off and on while our original drummer was ill. Laurent continues to play with us whenever he can, and you can see the joy in his face when he plays. He also plays the djembe' and guitar.

Week in Beef: Ryan Lochte, Nolan Funk, James Van Der Beek, and More
Please join us in shamelessly ogling five sexy celebrities whose shirtless candy caught our roving eye last week.
Michael Ealy
Even with oft-shirtless Channing Tatum leading the pack, People's new "Sexiest Man Alive 2012" issue was surprisingly light on shirtlessness. Common Law's Michael Ealy, however, most embraced the concept of a "Magic Mikes" photo shoot that also objectified Michael Strahan, Michael Buble, Michael Weatherly, and Michael Bolton.
Gerard Butler
Out Dec. 7, the rom-com Playing for Keeps released this steamy new still of star Gerald Butler as a down-on-his-luck former soccer star.
James Van Der Beek
It was a good shirtless week for the Beek, who went pantless for a bareback horseriding shoot in People and half-naked — albeit over-pixelated — in the latest episode of Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23.
Nolan Funk
He was the shirtless highlight of the first teaser, but we got an even better look at Glee's Nolan Funk in the new 1950s-inspired teaser for the upcoming Bret Easton Ellis flick The Canyons.
Ryan Lochte
Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte's Speedo seemed snugger than usual as he swam in the Minneapolis Grand Prix, his first meet since London. By the way, he won. And so did we.

Timothy Matthew Jacoby, 39, who has been in York County Prison since 2011 on unrelated charges, was charged in August in connection with the death of 55-year-old Monica Schmeyer.
Schmeyer was found dead in her home with a single gunshot wound to the head on March 31, 2010, police said at the time of the incident.
A search warrant issued for his parents' home resulted in the seizure of a second .32-caliber Kel-Tec pistol, a Kel-Tec P32 and a partial box of Speer Gold Dot ammunition.
A gun found at Jacoby's parents' home was stolen, documents state.
Police confirmed that shell casings found at the parents' property were fired from the same gun that fired the shell casing at the crime scene, according to charging documents.
Jacoby was charged with one count each of first-degree murder, burglary, receiving stolen property, possession of a prohibited firearm and tampering with evidence.
"It's been a difficult case, but forensics, the science behind all of this, has really helped us," District Attorney Tom Kearney said at the time of Jacoby's preliminary arraignment. "We're still looking at some of the science to help us as we continue to investigate."
A pre-trial conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. Feb. 26.

Katherine Archuleta, director of the Office of Personnel Management, announced Thursday that the agency is dropping USIS from some contract work. (Mike Morones/Staff) (Mike Morones)
The contractor being sued by the Justice Department for allegedly submitting at least 665,000 flawed background investigations to the government has been under contract by the Office of Personnel Management to oversee its own work and that of other contractors, Federal Times has learned.
Starting later this month, OPM said it will no longer pay USIS to perform quality assurance reviews of background investigations that have been submitted to OPM.USIS will continue doing initial quality assurance reviews of background investigations it does before they are submitted to OPM.
USIS is the largest of the three companies that OPM uses to conduct those investigations. OPM also contracts USIS to make sure background investigations including those carried out by USIS meet federal quality control standards for completeness and other factors.
That will end Feb. 24, when the job will be handled solely by OPM employees, said OPM Director Katherine Archuleta in a statement.
The announcement comes as the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is planning a Feb. 11 hearing to examine the security clearance process in the wake of Septembers Washington Navy Yard shootings that left eight people injured and 13 dead, including the shooter, former Navy Reservist Aaron Alexis, who was killed by police. USIS did the background check for Alexiss clearance; OPM said the background check on Alexis complied with investigative standards.
Anong the witnesses will be Archuleta, Sterling Phillips, USISs current chief executive, and Patrick McFarland, the Office of Personnel Managements inspector general, according to a list released Monday by the committee.
In January, the Justice Department filed a civil complaint against USIS alleging it delivered to OPM at least 665,000 background investigations that failed to undergo contractually required initial quality reviews.
That figure represents about 40 percent of the background checks done by the firm from March 2008 through September 2012, the Justice Department said. Last fall, Justice announced it was joining a whistleblower lawsuit against the company by a former USIS field manager.
In announcing OPMs plan to insource all reviews of completed background checks, Archuleta said, This decision acts as an internal quality control preventing any contractor from performing the final quality review of its own work. About 50 USIS workers and 300 OPM employees currently do those final reviews. An OPM official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that USIS has been doing final quality reviews on its own investigations, as well as those of the other two background investigation contractors, KeyPoint and CACI.
OPM will handle the added workload through overtime and by pulling in staff from elsewhere in the agency. Archuletas decision will not affect USISs work on other parts of the support contract; like KeyPoint and CACI, the company will continue to do initial quality reviews on its investigations before sending them to OPM for the final review, according to an agency representative speaking on condition of anonymity.
In her statement, Archuleta, who has led the agency since November, did not address why OPM has been allowing the company to do quality reviews of its own work.
The Justice Department lawsuit filed last month accuses USIS of a practice known within the firm as dumping. It was geared to boost revenue and help USIS win performance bonuses that totaled almost $12 million from fiscal 2008 through 2010, the Justice lawsuit states. Had OPM known what was going on, it would not have deemed USISs performance acceptable, the complaint states. The suit seeks damages plus at least $5,500 for each fraudulent claim.
A spokeswoman for the Falls Church, Va.-based USIS, previously known as U.S. Investigations Services, declined comment last week on Archuletas decision to bring the final reviews fully in-house.
The alleged misconduct at USIS relates to a small group of people and runs contrary to the companys values and commitment to exceptional service, a USIS spokesman said last month in response to the Justice Department complaint. Since learning of the alleged misconduct almost two years ago, USIS has installed a new management team and says it has beefed up oversight. The company has also fully cooperated with the governments probe and remains focused on delivering the highest quality service under our OPM contract, the spokesman said.
USIS was founded in 1996 by former OPM employees as part of a Clinton administration privatization push. At a Senate hearing last fall, Archuletas predecessor, Elaine Kaplan, said the agency continues to have some level of confidence in the firm in light of the management changes.
OPM has not suspended or debarred the company from any contracts.

'Mormon moment' pops up in Harlem land spat
In this so-called "Mormon moment," even a minor real estate flap in Harlem makes it into The New York Times. And the story even refers to Mitt Romney â "a Mormon," as the article notes but only due to the publicity for the Utah-based faith his presidential campaign has generated.At issue is the former home of the LDS Church's Harlem congregation, which The Times describes as "a crumbling, windowless, one-story building on 129th Street between Lenox Avenue/Malcolm X Boulevard and Fifth Avenue and the grassy vacant lot beside it."In 2005, the church erected a spanking new building around the corner but retained ownership of its earlier site. Now Mormons are ready to sell that to a residential developer and neighbors are balking. They want to keep the rare open space as a community garden, with the "ramshakle" building for neighborhood parties."The Mormons find themselves torn between two charitable missions the global social-welfare projects that go hand in hand with its energetic proselytizing, which proceeds from the sale will support," writes Anne Barnard, "and the needs of Harlem, where the mixed-race congregation has achieved a hard-won measure of acceptance despite the church's fraught history with African-Americans, who were barred from the church's ministry until 1978."Even some local Mormons want to see the church retain the garden and structure.Wayne Collier, a Harlem congregation member, told the paper "he and others had proposed turning the land into a "welfare center," with a cannery, storehouse and employment center all institutions the church currently has scattered from Inwood to New Jersey."Apparently, the church's Salt Lake City bureaucracy rejected that proposal.An aside: The Times article also notes that Mormons "shun alcohol and caffeine."
That's half right.
Devout Latter-day Saints do not drink booze, but they are free to consume caffeine. While coffee and tea are off-limits under the faith's health code, other caffeinated products from Diet Coke to hot chocolate are fair game.Peggy Fletcher Stack

Hi Sylvia,
I think if you want to enjoy your stay in England London is undeniably the place to be, although the accommodation can be really expensive, there are lots of free activities that you can do such as free walking tours to visit some of the most famous parts of the city http://www.goldentours.com/free-covent-garden-walking-tour
If you love shopping don't even think twice London is the place to be, but if you'd like to live by the sea head to Brighton it's lovely.

The judge handling Asheville's lawsuit seeking to block the loss of its water system focused on whether the law mandating the transfer is unconstitutional local legislation during arguments on procedural issues Friday.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Howard Manning Jr. heard from attorneys in the case for more than two hours in Raleigh. He issued no rulings Friday.
Two people who were present said it seems unlikely that Manning would dismiss the city's case at this point, although both conceded that predicting a decision based on a judge's demeanor during oral arguments is not an exact ...

Erotic spanking is the act of spanking another person for the sexual arousal or gratification of either or both partners. Spanking can be sexy, and a majority of women have fantasies about being spanked. Most men, too, find spanking a woman to be a strong sexual turn-on.
For a woman, the turn-on is not so much in the sensation of pain as it is in the feeling of helpless submission and vulnerability of being bent over her partner's lap, the attention being paid to her behind (a primary erogenous zone), the feeling of a man's hand warming her buttocks, and the anticipation of sexual pleasures to come. For a man, the arousing aspect of spanking is the feeling of control and power over his helpless lover, and the excitement of playing with her beautiful bottom, turning it pink and putting her in the mood for some hot, passionate sex.
Both the spanker and the spankee need to want the experience. Talking about whether spanking should be a part of sex play usually works best when it happens before your sex session. That's not to say that there's no room for spontaneity, but rather, you're more likely to be able to ask for what you want and hear your partner's requests when you're not turned on. The clearer you are about what you want or what you might like to explore, the more likely it is that you'll get it. Read more

In Defense of Heidegger
The philosopher is a true enemy of consumerism.
One of the best novels I have ever read won the Nobel Prize in 1920. Written by Knut Hamsun, Growth of the Soil is a beautiful fable about modernization, self-sufficiency, love and the magic of imagination. I love and treasure this book, so imagine my dismay when I discovered that Hamsun earnestly supported the Nazis and that two decades after writing the novel he met with Adolf Hitler and Josef Goebbels. And it gets worse: at that meeting he gave Goebbels his Nobel Prize medal as a token of his esteem for the Nazi movement!
Let no one deny that Hamsun – like Ezra Pound and a number of prominent intellectuals during World War 2 – was a Nazi and a fascist. Hamsun is nonetheless deemed safe to read because he is largely forgotten and the Nazi implications of his works are considered of academic interest only. The same is not true, however, for the German philosopher Martin Heidegger.
Nearly every essay, seminar and lecture about Martin Heidegger begins with a reminder that he was a Nazi in 1933. Some anti-Heideggerians – presuming that his thought is contaminated – have taken it upon themselves to reveal his fascistic impulses, arguing that it is best to throw the baby out with the bathwater when it comes to his corpus. The war against Heidegger has been raging for over 70 years: it began when the Nazi regime ostracized him, escalated when the postwar de-Nazification tribunal prevented him from teaching and continues today with attempts to remove him from the canon of Western thought. The interesting aspect of all this is not that Heidegger is being attacked (I take his ability to keep the debate raging even after his death as a mark of his genius), but that those in power are scared of Martin Heidegger.
We all know that power has an amazing ability to co-opt resistance. While philosophers bemoan Nietzsche's appropriation by anti-Semites, an ideology he deplored, activists in solidarity with Palestine are aghast to see the Keffiyeh sold in malls as just another consumer item. The ability of capitalism to turn resistance into complicity is so common that we ought to pay less attention to successful appropriations and more to the failed attempts. So rarely is appropriation deemed impossible by power that when it occurs we should explore the indigestible idea. Why are we told that Heidegger must be burned? Why isn't he being co-opted instead?
I would argue that while Hamsun has been appropriated, his books are published by Penguin Classics and sold at mega-stores, it has not been so easy to pervert Heidegger. Martin Heidegger is an essential thinker and despite some protest, his thought can never be put back in the bottle. If we wish to get rid of Heidegger, we must also rid ourselves of almost all contemporary French and German philosophy: No more Derrida, Foucault, Ronell, Badiou and Agamben. Because Heideggerian interpretations of the past abound, we would also have to do away with much of our past. Nietzsche would be the first to go because Heidegger was one of the first to take his legacy away from the Nazis.
The danger of Heidegger is that he courted power, was rebuffed and then lived the rest of his life as an outcast – an intellectual exile few would touch. Such lives are resistant to the allures of power. His experiences under Nazism, led Heidegger to develop an anti-capitalist, anti-scientific, anti-modern, anti-democratic and even anti-Nazi philosophy. Living in a hut without running water and electricity, Heidegger crafted an entirely new way of thinking that has changed the course of Western thought. Do not believe their protestations: the dangers Heidegger's theory pose to power don't lie in Nazi or fascistic undertones. Consumerism is scared of Heidegger because of his ability to cultivate a new relation to all that exists. That new relation is not one of power but of stewardship.
At this moment in history – when technology and consumerism are leading us toward catastrophe – Heidegger may be presenting the only way out. If the fearful reaction to his work grows, it will not be because he is evil, but because power finally faces a foe whose assimilation would be ruinous to the wasteland of consumerism.
To discover the magic of Martin Heidegger, begin with his most accessible work: "The Question Concerning Technology".

Guys, take note: Popping large amounts of calcium supplements may be harmful to your heart.
Research out today shows that a high intake of calcium from supplements is correlated with an increased risk of death from heart disease, such as heart attacks, for men, but not for women. This does not apply to calcium-rich foods.
The findings come at a time when many older people are taking calcium supplements for bone health. A recent study showed that 50% of older men and 70% of older women in the U.S. use calcium supplements. ...

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco 49ers released wide receiver and return man Kyle Williams on Tuesday after three-plus seasons, while also waiving cornerback Perrish Cox.
Linebacker Nick Moody was activated from the injured reserve/designated for return list Tuesday. The rookie returned to practice Oct. 23 for the first time since Week 1, when he went on injured reserve with the designation to return after breaking his hand. Moody is a sixth-round draft pick who transitioned from playing safety.
"Decisions like these are always difficult, especially at this time of year," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said. "Kyle and Perrish have represented the 49ers organization very well, both on and off the field. We appreciate their dedication and contributions and wish them all the best."
Williams' agent, Wynn Silberman, was told of the move Tuesday by the reigning NFC champions.
"We're looking forward to the opportunity to compete within the league somewhere this year," Silberman said. "We're very appreciative of the San Francisco 49ers organization for the opportunity to contribute."

This hip and happening spot in Cape Town is quaint, funky, bustling and just plain fun. At prices that cannot easily be beaten, Characters offers something for everyone, from early morning breakfasts to 'early morning' cocktails.
The menu is extensive and caters for all tastes. With light meals like butternut and blue cheese quiche with onion marmalade and a fresh green salad and tagliatelle with mascarpone, cherry tomatoes, rocket and fresh rosemary you simply cannot go wrong.
Try one of the simple, but tasty sarmies, a delectable pizza or a packed burger if you are not in the mood for too much fuss.
The bar environment is relaxing and bustling at the same time and you can enjoy a cocktail or shooter while checking out dear Marilyn on the wall.
The restaurant hosts quite a few events like speed dating nights, karaoke evenings, DJ evenings and quiz nights, so it is advised to enquire.
To cut a long story short, this is fun!
Enjoy wine, strawberries and good hearty food at this quaint, beautifully decorated eatery at the Mooiberge Farmstall on the R44. The restaurant's main focus is on serving imaginative homemade dishes made with the freshest produce.
A laid-back, elegant space awaits and offers a cool respite from a day of sightseeing. Try the blue cheese, rocket and strawberry compote pizza, counter-intuitive but delectable, or some freshly made, moist French toast, served with strawberry compote. Th lamb burger is also a must-try and they make the patties from scratch with A-grade meat. There are a variety of wraps available as well, so they really cater for a varied group.
To get you off to a good start, the Silly Billy breakfast offers two slices of macadamia and rye bread with goat's cheese, tomato pesto, mushrooms and rocket. Their take on a traditional English breakfast is The Farmer and The Farmer's Wife with eggs, bacon, bangers, tomatoes and mushrooms.
Mouthwatering......and wholesome.
Lola's originally started as a strictly vegetarian restaurant, and although they are still offering an extensive vegetarian menu, they, luckily for us, now cater for the carnivores among us as well. A simple, elegant interior complements the cuisine and the restaurant serves as both a business meeting place and a romantic retreat. The menu offers something for everyone and includes a large breakfast selection. From oats to omelettes and French toasted croissants with a variety of fillings, it promises a great start to the day.
Franschhoek, the French pocket of the Cape Winelands, has become renowned as the culinary capital of South Africa, so it's not surprising to find oneself in a gem of an eatery like Topsi & Co.
A scrawled daily menu on paper set on an easel, the antique silver salt and pepper pots, the water jugs, the fresh flowers and the open kitchen will make one feel right at home as if in a great aunt's kitchen. And then there is food: hearty, comforting and exciting.
Expect traditional fare that has been reinvented with flair. The menu changes daily to make the most of the fresh seasonal produce. Menu items include homemade Springbok sausage with chilli jelly and Warthog loin with mustard seed onion gravy with cabbage and samp. A firm, delectable favourite remains the white mold cheese and figs stuffed with walnuts, poached in red wine with citron.
The restaurant does not sell wine, but visitors are invited to bring their own.
Guests are encouraged to walk into the kitchen and check out what's cooking. Alternatively, sit back and take it all in: the delightful smells from the stove, the clatter of pots and the chatter from the parrot – just like at aunty's house.
Zebra Crossing is a bistro with a buzz. Here visitors to the scenic sea side town of Hermanus experience the establishment's welcoming atmosphere when they mingle with the locals. The eatery offers a cosmopolitan menu and at weekends there have been rumours about dancing on the tables…
The restaurant, that only seats thirty, offers seating indoors as well as outdoors and has a fully licensed bar area.
Expect simple bistro style food that includes some Chinese and Thai dishes. The restaurant also has Seafood and caters meals for vegetarians. Zebra Crossing is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Despite its limited capacity, this establishment is popular as it exudes character and has good vibe all round. Here the saying "There are no strangers in the world, only friends you haven't yet met" certainly applies.

Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star Landon Donovan has announced his retirement from the professional sport.
The 32-year-old pro athlete will retire at the end of this season, his 14th as a pro, he announced on his Facebook page.
"I don't write these words lightly and this day carries mixed emotions for me. I am sad to leave a profession that has brought me so much joy. I will miss all of the teammates who helped me create so many incredible memories on-the-field, and who I have shared many wonderful experiences with off-the-field," Landon wrote.

We Are Social's Monday Mashup #47
MySpace relaunches with different focus
Over the past few years, MySpace has faced its fair share of challenges. A quick straw poll in our offices found that while most people still had a MySpace account, few had actively used it since registering on Facebook. Which is why it's is worth noting MySpace's relaunch as a 'social entertainment destination'. According to MySpace CEO Mike Jones, the site lost $100 million last year while external analyst David Bank put the figure closer to $350 million. Whatever way you look at it, they had to do something to try and turn their fortunes around. And according to Jones, that's exactly what they did:
This is a full rethink. This is an entirely different product.
Time will tell that if by re-positioning itself, MySpace will reclaim it's previous market share and glory. We'll certainly be following its progress closely…
Facebook page managing made easier
Facebook have launched a new Page Manager, designed to make managing Pages easier and quicker. At the centre of the new design is a single, left-hand navigation to access the different aspects of your Page, from applications to admins.
When is Facebook used most?
An interesting study from Vitrue revealed that 3pm EST on weekdays is when Facebook users are most active. There were other noteworthy findings including the news that Sunday is the day when fans are least active. Perhaps this is because pages are only updated during the 'working week' but nonetheless it suggests that people use Facebook less at weekends.
These findings are important as they help brands to know when to target users. As the graph below shows, there is a huge disparity between when users are most active and when users are least active. What's important for page managers is to maximise interactions with the page and to create more conversation. Statistics such as these should help them achieve this goal.
From Russia with likes
According to comScore, Russia has the most engaged social networking audience worldwide. In August, 74.5 % of the Russian online population visited at least one social networking site.
But what makes the Russians such an important audience is that they spend on average 9.8 hours in the month on these social networking sites. This compares very favourably with the average of 4.5 hours and the next closest country with a relatively large online population is Turkey, which only averages 7.8 hours per visitor.
It should come as no surprise therefore, that Facebook is trying to expand in Russia. They've agreed a deal where they will provide page updates to Yandex in return for extra exposure in Russia. Currently, Facebook has only registered 1.1% of the Russian population so the partnership with Yandex marks a new way of gaining exposure to Russia's 60 million internet users.
Nasza Klaza up for sale?
Moving further west, it's rumoured that the top Polish social networking platform – Nasza Klaza – is up for sale for €130 million. At it's height the service had over 27 million users, but with Facebook rapidly gaining on it's market share, it would make sense for it's current owners (Tiger Global) to sell while it's still the premier social network in Poland.
German firms ban Facebook and Twitter
It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry at this story, but most of the 30 blue-chip firms listed in Germany's DAX stock market are banning employee use of social networking sites. Porsche says it's intended to protect the company from industrial espionage, while fellow car firm Daimler cited concerns about employee productivity. If it wasn't so obvious, we'd make a joke about Germans desiring efficiency…
Digg's massive hole
In August, Digg released a major new design which met with a user backlash. Since then, things have only gone downhill for the company: they've lost 70% of their page views and 30% of their unique visitors. The numbers for October are not yet out but compared to a year ago, they've lost 16 million visitors. No wonder the company has had to let go a third of its staff.
Real-time analytics from Google
Last week Google released a new interface for Feedburner which provides real-time stats about where clicks are coming from. Rather than seeing a whole day's updates at once, instead one can click on 'last two hours' and see updates come in instantly. PostRank have also taken advantage of this development to include Feedburner information in their own engagement dashboard.
WPP and Buddy Media working together
WPP, the world's largest communications services group and Buddy Media, the Facebook management system of choice for many brands, are working together to help brands "more effectively scale their marketing efforts on Facebook". It's a huge vote of confidence for Buddy Media, as WPP are adding a further $5 million to the $23 million investment which was recently announced.
Disney's Facebook fans
Disney has created an innovative leaderboard on all its pages which tracks how many fans it has over all its different brands. It's clearly working because as well as having over 69 million fans, the Disney page itself gained 534,800 new likes last month, making it one of the top growers on Facebook.
Check into billboards with Facebook Places
Facebook Places was only launched a couple of months ago and it continues to spark interesting ways of using Facebook. This week, brings news of a campaign on behalf of Cheryl Cole to win tickets to one of her concerts – all you have to do is check in (using Facebook places) to one of the billboards where her new album is advertised.
This is interesting for advertisers insofar as it should provide good data about which billboards are effective and which aren't. In other words, social media is now being used to help conventional advertisers work out where to market their product.
Busy week for Foursquare
Foursquare have created an 'I Voted' badge for the 2010 American Mid-Term elections tomorrow. This should be an interesting way of gauging turnout, akin to how The Guardian used #ukvote to create a map of where people had voted in the General Election in May.
They've also teamed up with Mazda for a cool campaign in America where there's a Mazda 2 up for grabs. Mazda have created three badges which are quite hard to attain, and if you can get two of them, then the 'Inner Driver' badge will be unlocked and you'll receive instructions on how to enter the draw for the Mazda.
Finally, they launched two new badges for Halloween. The first, was easy to unlock: it just required use of the word 'Halloween' as part of a check-in. The second was much harder, requiring swarms on the night of Halloween itself.
Orange 'Balloonacy' race returns
In 2008, Orange ran a Balloonacy campaign, in which 40,000 users flew balloons across a course of 1500 websites. This year they're running the campaign again but making it more social: balloon owners will be able to boost their balloons by tweeting and posting status updates about it, and balloons will go faster if friends give them a boost. With a first prize of an eleven night trip to Kenya, don't be surprised to see tweets about this in your Twitter feed.
Skittles spread everywhere
Skittles have opened a Rainbow Call Centre, manned by 15 staff, which will 'rainbowfy' status updates. According to NMA:
Status feeds will be converted into a "weird and wacky" video clip that will then be posted on the user's profile page. The social media engagement campaign is running for the next two weeks, after which fans can vote on their favourite video from the library.
This marks the second stage of Skittles' new social media campaign, after last week they submerged a fan in Skittles.
Election motivates internet pranksters
The Mid-Terms have been hotly contested in America, with Tea Party candidates coming to the fore. Internet pranksters have tried to combat this by changing their profile pictures in a practice called letter-bombing and then posting together on a page wall. They had great fun with Sarah Palin…
Corporate Twitter #fail
And finally, hat-tip to Malcolm Coles for spotting this tweet from Cheapflights.co.uk. Someone out there will be a lot more careful in future about which account they're logged into…
We Are Social's Tuesday Tweakup #4
Google launches Realtime search page
Google launched their new Realtime Search homepage to add to the real-time search features already in place in the main Google search. The homepage allows people to search on particular terms geographically, to review conversations as they happened by altering timescales and to set up alerts for real-time conversation. They have also produced a video to show you how to get the most out of Realtime:
Social media across the generations
Older users have been noted as 'especially enthusiastic' about embracing new social networking tools over the last year, with social networking use amongst those over 50 in the US nearly doubling from 22% in April 2009 to 42% in May 2010. Uptake in those over 65 grew by 100% from 13% to 26% in the same period. At the other end of the spectrum, 'tweeny bloggers' are growing in number quickly as more take to their computers to write. The Independent reports that while only 2% of 8-11 year olds in the UK have a blog, almost 20% would like to start one, and that the trend is likely to continue with tweeny blogs becoming more and more popular.
Facebook's growth (or lack of)
With the 500 million marker being passed a little while ago, there's stats suggesting that Facebook could be close to reaching saturation here in the UK. Despite this, there's plenty of growth elsewhere, with stats showing that Facebook is now the top social network in India and Arabic taking a clear lead as the fastest growing language on Facebook.
Organic Facebook page fan growth slows down
Robin wrote a great post on Facebook Places last week tying in lots of the best information on what it is and how it works. Well since then, Inside Facebook has noticed that the algorithm, which determines what users see in their news feed, must have changed to boost impressions of Facebook Places. It appears that pages have been given less weight in people's news feeds and places are getting more, thus leading to a significant decrease in the amount of new likes per day which is shown in their graphs.
Foursquare fights for its place in the social space
With Facebook Places having launched in the US, and being just around the corner here, there's speculation about the future of Foursquare. But fear not Foursquare fans (and brands) because, as well as reaching nearly 3 million users, there's a heap of new bits and bobs coming soon. So keep your eyes peeled for potential improvements such as the integration of Facebook Places, a mobile-friendly site, photos, how close you are to being mayor, points 2.0, rewarding more than the mayor, better friend communication and a recommendation engine. In addition to offering more to it's users, Dennis Crowley has said that Foursquare is in the process of building a self-serve tool for creating brand profiles – thus putting an end to the lengthy process of applying to Foursquare and having them manually created.
Nutella migrates fans from unofficial pages
Nutella have recently combined multiple fan-run Facebook pages from around the world into one official global page. Originally these pages were owned by extreme fans of the brand and were kept updated regularly, but since they've migrated fans from other pages into theirs there's been barely any activity (in fact they've posted a message saying they're on vacation for a while). Let's hope their fans are prepared to wait…
Facebook 'likes' help with determining popularity of clothing…
Urban Outfitters has begun arranging the clothes on its website by the number of Facebook 'likes' each item has been given by its 312,000 Facebook fans. Visitors to the US website can choose to sort clothese by their Facebook popularity when they arrive on the page.
…or lack of clothing in Playboy's case
Meanwhile, Playboy have started their search for a Miss Social, the girl most Playboy Facebook fans would like to see undressed in the next issue. Social Media Influence reports (with one of the best opening lines we've seen of late) however that the contest has not driven as much interest as may have been expected with such a hook.
Cat bin lady
When a security video was uploaded to YouTube of a Coventry woman throwing a cat into a wheelie bin, there was a huge public outcry which quickly manifest itself into death threats from individuals on several Facebook pages. Mary Bale was outed by 4chan members (b-tards) in a matter of hours and she was placed under police protection soon after her details appeared online. Interestingly, one of the pages which has attracted over 45,000 'likes' has now dissipated the public anger by focusing on raising funds for the Coventry RSPCA.
Climate Camp get ridiculed for their middle-class demographic
We've all seen how social networks can be used to lobby people together to campaign for a particular cause, for example when Greenpeace boycotted Nestlé and their use of Palm oil in KitKats. But what about when it all backfires? Well last week Climate Camp tried using Twitter to publicise their protests at the Royal Bank of Scotland corporate HQ but it all went wrong when Twitter turned against them. It appears that they've cut down on using the #ClimateCamp hastag since it was swamped with ridiculing tweets such as this and this.

Asset Class Returns

In light of this morning's portfolio rebalancing discussion, I thought the table above would help you to visualize the discussion.
It shows the annual return over the past decade by asset class. Note that the highest returning asset classes are at top, down to the lowest returning. You can see how they all mean revert over time.

Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

A man wanted for animal-cruelty charges for allegedly running a possible dog fighting operation has reportedly been arrested.
Jail officials tell 27 Newsfirst Garrard County deputies arrested 40-year-old Marty Stevens last night on drug charges. The Jessamine County man has been wanted since more than a dozen dogs were found at his home back in September.
The animals are now being adopted out by the Jessamine S.A.V.E. Center.
