OPTIONS EXPIRATION DISTORTIONS 0 comments
Beating much lower expectations can lead to a short squeeze and this was evident the past few days with some financials and Friday with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) which beat earnings estimates by 3 cents. Remember, MSFT is one of the largest hedge fund holdings so pumping it higher seems easily job one. MSFT was up nearly 5% after the report which may strike some as an outsized gain. But the spin was the company reported good gains from the corporate sector meaning CFOs are loosening their purse strings. How long can you run XP anyway? The boys in the options pits must be chasing down options in MSFT and those silly bets made on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) calls.
The other big news on the day was that the IMF (mostly controlled by U.S. taxpayers) will pony-up another $400 billion in freshly minted dollars to rescue the euro zone once again. Even the Bank of Japan admitted this gesture (thank you America!) will only buy some time if austerity and reforms aren't implemented. And, right on cue, we have French elections on deck this weekend with polls indicating Sarkozy is toast. This makes his deals with Merkel & Co toast as well. So with the socialists back in control of Europe's second largest economy don't expect much in the way of austerity and reform. That's not on any socialist's agenda.Stocks: SPY, IWM, QQQ, AAPL, XLK, MSFT, IGV, ITB, BAC, XLF, CVY, IEF, TLT, HYG, UUP, FXE, GLD, GDX, SLV, JJC, DBC, USO, UGA, XLE, DBA, EFA, EEM, EWJ, EWG, EWP, EWY, EWZ, RSX, EPI, FXIBack To David Fry's Instablog HomePage »

Allen Americans beat Quad City again
Here is the press release:
Moline, Illinois – The Allen Americans completed the weekend sweep of the Quad City Mallards Saturday night in their second meeting of the weekend at the i-wireless Center in Moline, Illinois.
In a change from last night's game, the Mallards struck first past the midway point of the opening period. Obi Aduba netted a redirection off a shot from the point by Jared Lavender with the secondary assist going to Shane Toporowski at 12:53 to give Quad City the 1-0 lead. Through the first period, the Mallards outshot the Americans 15-7 and held the 1-0 lead.
The Mallards extended their lead to 2-0 at 6:45 of the second period on a goal by Jeremy Boyer with assists by Mickey Lang and Mike Hellyer. Less than three minutes later the Americans answered back when Kip Brennan, fresh off the IR, jammed a rebound in to cut the Mallards lead to 2-1. Assists on the Brennan goal went to Drew Daniels and Garrett Clarke at 9:38 of the period. The Americans evened the score on a Trevor Ludwig goal at 14:23, assisted by Anthony Maiani and Nino Musitelli. The score remained unchanged through the period with the Americans outshooting the Mallards 18-7 for a two period total of 24-23 in favor of Allen.
In the third period, the Americans netted their third unanswered goal, capitalizing on an early power play. Scotty Howes found the back of the net at 1:59 with assists going to Brett Skinner and Trevor Ludwig to give the Americans their first lead of the evening. Aaron Dell weathered a flurry of activity in front of the Allen net in the waning seconds of the third period but held his ground, denying the Mallards the tying goal and the Americans held on for the 3-2 victory. Shot on goal were in favor of the Mallards in the third period 12-8 and through three periods of play 35-32.
The Allen Americans now head to Bloomington to take on the Blaze Tuesday night; puck drop is scheduled for 7:05PM

Special to the Standard
KINGSTON—North Kingstown High School's Class of 2012 celebrated the triumph of its graduation and members set their sights on future accomplishments at t URI's Ryan Center last Friday night.
Nearly 350 graduating seniors reflected on their four years of high school, were encouraged to remember the opportunities they have been given and were told to look to the future to realize their full potential.
"As you go forward into achieving greatness in your lives, and I know you will, it is important that you remember to be grateful for what you have achieved, and for what you have been given," Dr. Phil Auger, Superintendent of the North Kingstown School Department said.
The superintendent praised the quality of the education provided by North
GRADUATES, from 1
Kingstown's schools noted that from the time the Class of 2012 was in kindergarten to their graduation, their education cost "over $50 million."
"To whom much is given, much is expected," he said.
It certainly appeared that the Class of 2012 lived up to expectations when Dr. Thomas Kenworthy, principal of North Kingstown High School, congratulated them for their achievements.
"This group of seniors is noted for their efforts in the classroom, in the fine and performing arts, and in many extra- curricular activities, on the playing field and courts throughout this community," Kenworthy said.
Kenworthy also said the group, of which over 100 are part of either the National Honor Society or RI Honor Society, received "over $75,000" in scholarship aid.
Stephanie Andersen, the school's salutatorian, applauded her class for supporting one another throughout their school years.
"We understand that the success of another individual ought to produce feelings of joy, rather than jealousy," she said.
Andersen complimented the selflessness of her classmates that made them a close group and allowed students to thrive on encouragement from their peers. This support, Andersen said, allowed them to achieve great things.
"Over our four years at NKHS we have formed a family," she said.
Andersen, who will attend the University of Virginia in the fall, reminded the graduates that they could not have achieved anything without the support of their parents, teachers, and administrators.
"Teachers, thank you for your enthusiasm and perseverance, despite our occasional feelings of discouragement and laziness. You have taught us an invaluable lesson and we love you."
Andersen lauded her fellow graduates for completing their "four-year-journey" and at the conclusion of her speech was joined in declaring "We are, and always will be NK."
Following Andersen was former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi who told the class of 2012 to appreciate every day, because "life is like a roller coaster."
Andruzzi's speech highlighted his personal ups, such as playing in the NFL and winning three Super Bowls with the Patriots, as well as his downs. He shared wisdom gained from his personal battle with Burkitt's lymphoma, a rare form of cancer.
"Move forward. You can't be focusing on what you did yesterday," Andruzzi said as he encouraged the soon-to-be graduates to make the most of their lives. "Focus in on what you have to do. I want you all to set your goals high."
He is the founder of the Joe Andruzzi Foundation, a charity that helps ease the financial burden of families with loved ones suffering from cancer. He has also been cancer free for the last five years.
Andruzzi told the class of 2012 his successes were not only a result of hard work and dedication on his part, but also because of support from his family.
"I truly believe my family is the reason I am the person I am today." he said.
North Kingstown's valedictorian, Olivia Edwards, shared that sentiment as she began her speech. She acknowledged that the success of her class was made possible by the help of countless parents, teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, administrators and other support staff.
"Although some teachers and coaches may seem to have more influence over our lives than others, sometimes seemingly small things like a smile from a bus driver may have gotten us through a difficult day," Edwards said. "I would like to thank all of the people who have helped me in any way, however great or small."
Edwards said her class was indebted to the citizens of North Kingstown who paid for their education, and that she was "grateful to live in a society that values education so much that it gives every person the opportunity to go to school for 13 years tuition free."
Edwards, who will attend Swarthmore College this fall, said many of her classmates would go to college to study for specific careers that would help them find jobs in a tough economy, but she was thankful for the opportunity to sample many different subjects at NKHS.
"Our teachers have inspired us to love learning for its own sake," she said .
Although she said her class won't remember every specific fact taught in high school, Edwards felt the graduating seniors received a "well-rounded education" at NKHS that enriched their lives and made them better citizens.
She encouraged the new grads to remember the value of a free, quality education.
"I hope that we become the type of people who support our local public school systems whatever way we can," she said.
The class gift to NKHS, presented by Eliza Drew and Jamie Wadovick, was their first gesture of their support for public schools. The departing class spruced up the school's courtyard with new umbrellas, tables and chairs, improved the memorial garden, and made a donation to the Joe Andruzzi Foundation.
Matthew Quainoo, speaking during the Junior Farewell Address, summed up the night by telling the Class of 2012 "today is the closing of one chapter and the beginning of a new one in the book of life," just before he congratulated them on a "job well done."
After Helena Tafuri, Madeline Jenkins, Brandon Kaplan and Mike Grenier sang the alma mater; members of the Class of 2012 changed their tassels.
The newest NKHS alumni celebrated by flinging their caps in the air as thunderous applause rained down from the stands.
"To them, it's the dawning of a new day," School Committee Member Melvoid Benson said after the ceremony. "The world is waiting for them."

A dedicated family of fundraisers were given a personal thank you by Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham.
The parents, two sisters and other relatives of Leah Davies have raised around £25,000 for The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust, through their 'Love Leah' appeal.
Leah was just 19 when she died after a motorcycle accident in the summer, triggering a huge campaign of fundraising for specialist neuroscience trust, The Walton Centre.
Andy Burnham, Shadow Health Secretary, was on a fact finding visit to The Walton Centre and invited the family to join him, to learn about their appeal.
Leah's twin sister Sarah presented a cheque for more than £1,600 raised by her former school, Golborne High School, after activities including a non-uniform day, cake sale, sponsored walk and wristband sales.
In turn, Andy Burnham presented a thank you certificate on behalf of The Walton Centre.
Sarah Davies said: "I would like to say a big thank you to Golborne High School, on behalf of my sister Rachel and all the family, for the fabulous amount of money they have raised – and for their continuing support."
Andy Burnham was accompanied by Walton MP Steve Rotheram and both MPs pledged to take part in a Love Leah bike ride in March.
Mr Burnham said: ""Leah was a lovely young person and her loss has left a huge hole in our community.
"The effect Leah had on people can be seen in the incredible response to the 'Love Leah' appeal. That, I know, is a comfort to her family and, because of it, Leah is still making a difference to other people's lives.
"I wish to thank Leah's family for turning their own tragedy into a positive drive to support the Walton Centre. It helps thousands of people recover from serious brain injury and is, quite simply, the best of the NHS.
"Leah's family could not have chosen a better cause to support in Leah's memory and it makes me proud to see so many of my young constituents, particularly the students of Golborne High, giving to it so generously."
MP Steve Rotheram added: "It is humbling to see the tremendous fundraising efforts of the Davies family in memory of Leah. Out of their personal tragedy will come hope to many."
More events are being planned by Leah's family in the coming year and all funds raised are supporting The Walton Centre's Home from Home Appeal, to provide relatives' accommodation and new rehabilitation facilities.

Full Indiana House set to consider same-sex marriage ban proposal
Vote expected by end of week
INDIANAPOLIS - The full Indiana House is set Monday afternoon to begin considering a proposal to ban same-sex marriage in the state's constitution.
The move to the full House follows a panel of lawmakers' initial approval to move the measure forward last week.
House Minority Leader Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, has proposed to delete the portion of the amendment that bans civil unions.
Any changes approved by the House could derail the amendment this year.
Two consecutive legislatures must approve the exact same wording for an amendment to be added to the state's constitution.
Supporters and opponents of the marriage amendment arrived at the Statehouse early Monday morning to lobby lawmakers.
"This is an issue of what the definition of marriage is. Everyone has the equal right to marry, but marriage by definition is the union of a man and a woman," said Peter Sprigg, of Family Research Council.
"We'll keep pulling all the way through March 14 at midnight," said Peter Hanscom, of Freedom Indiana. "We've already seen through this process some tricks the Legislature has played on us, and we won't lie down until we know for sure HJR3 is dead."
Under legislative rules, the House can't vote on the amendment Monday, but is expected to vote before the end of the week.
Fifty-one representatives would need to approve the proposed ban to move it to the Senate for a vote.
If both chambers approve, the constitutional amendment will appear on the November ballot.

Price: $3.99 @ Trader Joe's imported by L. Watson Inc.
What They Said:
Per Daniel Rogov "Dark ruby towards garnet, with soft tannins, hints of spices and a note of chocolate highlighting blackberry and black cherry fruits. Round and appealing, a very good entry-level wine. Drink now." Score 86. K (Tasted 9 Oct 2008)
What I Think:
I've been looking forward to posting this one as it has been a rewarding experience thanks to Shimshon of Welner Wines! From the bottle I was able to track this to Vinas Argentinas which led me to Telteca Winery. From there I emailed the contact us info and Shimshon responded with the wealth of information I am about to share. Didn't even have to use the other information at my disposal (hand harvested for the Cartellone Family and Jose Pedro Gomez was the winemaker)
The first item of note is that this predominately sells under the Tierra Salvaje label. I've had a Carmenere ($4) from them at Trader Joe's a while back. Tried to track down my tasting notes but not much there. My recollection is that it was good but not great.
As for this one specifically, Terranal (from the label) is a cousin of the term terroir and means earthy. Given I have a Cab from Ruca Malen (btw, if you ever visit Mendoza be sure to have their wine pairing lunch. Fantastic!) I picked up on my trip to Argentina in '06 I considered this a free preview. On sight, the wine is dark but the nose brings me light raspberry fruit notes with a bit of tannin. It certainly lacks the California Cab characteristics you might expect so prepare yourself. The initial taste is familiar but what…something, can't place it! A nice tannic backbone and a pleasant mid-palate full of plum and cherry flavors. The only disappointment is that there was little from a finish perspective. All in all, for $4 this is a great introduction to what Cabernet from another región is all about; lighter, fruitier and less tanic. Give it a try. I'm going to grab another bottle. They also have a Malbec in stock which I intend to drink/review soon. Stay tuned…
Rating: 12th Bottle

Wow, Cambodia. Laos & Vietnam in 19 days! Not very laid-back.
You may need NASA resources and precisions or a top-class tour agent.
Luang Prabang is never enough in Dec (4-5 days )
Angkor Wat/siem reap needs 3-4 clear days
Hanoi/Sapa/Halong is a rush if you have less than 8/9 days and that doessnt leave much for HCMC, Hoi an and the MeKong Delta and the beaches
but then, it's your time and budget.
I think you should be thinking of returnibg even before you leave these places.

Today is the 100th celebration of International Women's Day. In 1911, rallies in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland on 19 March turned the movement into an international phenomenon, with over one million protesters calling for women's right to vote and equality in the workplace. Now held each year on 8 March, International Women's Day celebrates women's achievements and encourages everyone to address inequalities between the sexes where they still persist.
It's also Women's History Month in March and the featured theme on Collections Online is the militant suffrage movement in Great Britain, exemplified by the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). The 'militant' behaviour of WSPU campaigners seems rather restrained compared with the modern-day definition of the term, but in the 1900s, accosting politicians and public demonstrations were decidedly unladylike and they used military language to describe their 'fight'.
The theme is illustrated with a wonderful object - a silver muffineer, or shaker for dispensing spices for the tops of cakes. The muffineer is in the form of a suffragette complete with a sandwich board.

Another Collections Online WSPU object is a medal awarded for valour to Myra Eleanor Sadd Brown, an activist and mother of four who was arrested in 1912 for breaking a window in a government office. Her hunger strike ended when she was force-fed in Holloway Prison. It is estimated that fewer than 100 of these medals were struck. It still has its ribbon with bands of green, white and purple, the offical colours of the women's suffrage movement. (You may see people wearing these colours today - I'm one of them!)

Myra was one of around 1000 British women imprisoned for protesting for the right to vote, which finally came in 1918 for England women, 16 years after non-Aboriginal Australian women were allowed to vote in Commonwealth elections. Our neighbours in New Zealand did much better; women could vote from 1893, including Maori women, whereas Australian Aboriginal women were excluded until 1962 when Commonwealth voting rights were extended to Australia's Indigenous population.

Sometimes I wonder how we eat the seafood we do.
Take scallops, for example. With their plump and juicy meat, they are coveted for our dinner plates and in top restaurants around the world. But what are we really eating?
Well, there's the shell, more for presentation than eating, characteristically circular with ridges radiating from a rectangular hinge that holds the animal protected inside.

And there's the body. Unlike oysters, they don't sit tight and daintily nurture pearls. Instead, they focus on moving small distances by squirting jets of water from between their shell halves, building muscle mass inside equivalent to a bodybuilder's bicep, all for our eating pleasure (and also to flap away from predators like octopuses and sea stars I guess).
Scallops for sale at the Queen Victoria Market. The white part is mostly muscle, while the orange part is known as 'roe'. Source: Museum Victoria
And what is that orange-brown blobby bit that tastes so gelatinously good? Gonads. A factory that pumps out hundreds of eggs and sperm into the water with the hope that some don't get eaten or swept away into unsuitable habitat.
But sitting on the bottom in sand or silty mud can attract parasitic friends like trematodes and nematodes. (I won't go into how many fish parasites a scientist sees under a microscope or you may never eat sushi again.)
Is it revolting to eat the disgusting? I suspect not, so long as some chef goes about his or her masterful ways to clean and transform the disgusting into the delicious.
Oh and if you're interested...
Scallops probably have the most eyes in the animal kingdom – they can have hundreds of eyes along the edge of their mantle. Exactly what sort of pictures they see we cannot be sure. Their shells reach about 14 cm in length and they live on shallow sandflats to waters over 100 metres deep. Their diet of floating food, such as plankton, is filtered from the water. Some species move short distances, others make more permanent homes on the reef, often becoming so encrusted with coral and sponge growth that they are barely recognisable. They were commercially harvested in Port Phillip Bay until 1996, nowadays they are taken from Bass Strait. Several species were thought to occur within the range of the common variety we eat, Pecten fumatus, but recent genetic work suggests they are all the same species.
The annual Melbourne Food and Wine Festival starts tomorrow and MV is hosting events at Melbourne Museum, the Royal Exhibition Building and the Immigration Museum. It seemed the perfect time to ask the History and Technology curators to suggest some foodie collection items for a series of MFWF posts.
It's hard to imagine Melbourne's food scene without an Italian influence. The flush of Italian migrants that arrived here following World War II brought with them the foundations of the café culture so prevalent across Melbourne today. Some early cafés still survive; Don Camillo near Victoria Market, and Pellegrini's in Bourke St being two well-know examples. Many Italian migrants also started food manufacturing businesses to satisfy the appetites of the migrant population, and, increasingly, the wider community that embraced Italian cuisine. One of these businesses, La Tosca, was founded in 1947 and still produces pasta today.

Borghesi Family Collection on Collections Online
Pendle Hall is an enormous, elaborate and intricate dolls' house that Felicity Clemons built almost entirely by hand. It was donated to Museum Victoria through the Australian Government's Cultural Gifts Program in 2010 and work has begun to ready it for eventual display at Melbourne Museum.
Beginning in the 1940s, Melbourne-born Felicity was inspired to create Pendle Hall after her daughter received a small dolls' house as a gift. Ultimately, Pendle Hall reached 21 rooms of Georgian-style country splendour, complete with parquetry floors, working chandeliers, a fully-stocked larder, a resident family with servants and even a mouse beside a wheel of cheese.
The shelves in Pendle Hall's larder are well-stocked. You can see the wheel of cheese and mouse in the middle of the the first shelf. Image: Michelle BerrySource: Museum Victoria
Janet Pathe has been steadily registering the individual pieces which number over 600 items. As chief unwrapper, she's been the first to sight some of the amazing miniature items therein. " I really like the little pack of cards but some of the pieces of furniture, like cabinets, are just absolutely amazing. All the little drawers and doors open."

Pendle Hall has been on display in Felicity Clemons' private museum in Westbury, Tasmania for many years. To transport it from the Apple Isle, the dolls' house was carefully photographed while assembled, then each item wrapped, labelled and boxed by a conservator. The reference photos will be critical to reassemble and manage all the little pieces, since, as Janet explains, "so much of it is too small, like the tiny candlesticks, for us to put registration numbers on them."
This board shows the tools and techniques Felicity Clemens used while constructing Pendle Hall. Source: Museum Victoria
While Janet registers, conservator Sarah Babister is working through the house room by room. "At the moment I'm doing a conservation assessment on all 612 components, literally looking at every piece, and trying to determine what treatment, if any, needs to be carried out," says Sarah. "To date most pieces I have examined only require basic surface cleaning, however there are some components which will need to be repaired or stabilised." In some cases she may consider replacing materials (such as a tiny foam mattress) with an inert material because she suspects the foam may be speeding up the deterioration of the bedspread on top.

ABC Radio National: interview with curator Michael Reason on ByDesign
On Friday 25 February Immigration Discovery Centre participated in the annual Shake Your Family Tree. Organised by the National Archives of Australia (NAA), this is a national event that brings together family history experts in one location for an entire day.
Along with six other institutions, including State Library of Victoria, Public Record Office of Victoria, and Genealogical Society of Victoria, we set up our stand in the foyer of the VAC in North Melbourne and helped many enthusiastic visitors with questions about doing their family history research.

A number of seminars were presented on the day and I did a talk on Revealing objects & stories from Museum Victoria's Migration Collection. In this, I discussed the power of objects to tell a story and the way museums use them in their exhibitions, programs and online resources. As an example, I told the story of one particular migrant through the medium of some objects related to her life that are part of the Migration Collection. Lastly, I encouraged my audience to see if they could utilise any objects in their own homes to further enrich their family history research.

Museum Victoria also participated in a Conservation Clinic, where members of the public could bring in their precious documents or objects for advice on how to protect and conserve them.
All in all it was a great day and we are already looking forward to next year!

Festival fit for a Swazi king
There are many festivals around the world that celebrate seasonal fruit and others that focus on beer, but in the scenic kingdom of Swaziland the two come together in a special celebration – the Marula Festival.
The Marula Festival is one of Swaziland's most exciting traditional ceremonies. The harvest festivities coincide with marula season, which begins in mid-February and runs through to May. The fruit is distilled into a beer, known as Buganu or Marula beer, and the entire nation joins in on this celebration.

Howe and Why
Pre-Playoff Streaks
by Robert Vollman
The Carolina Hurricanes are riding into the playoffs on the back of their hottest streak of the season. By contrast, the Calgary Flames have slid from a commanding double-digit lead for the division lead to a spot above only those teams clinching in the final weekend of the season. Does this bode well for the Hurricanes and badly for the Flames? Have the Hurricanes peaked too soon and the Flames are due? Does it even matter?
To answer these questions, I examined all playoff teams in the past three seasons, grouped them by the number of points they won in the season's final twenty games, and studied the number of combined series they won and lost in the subsequent playoffs. We should expect to see the teams who scored more points down the stretch to have won more playoff rounds than they lost either because they were better teams or were on hotter streaks.
P20: Points in the final 20 games
Num: Number of teams with this many points
SW: Playoff series won by these teams
SL: Playoff series lost by these teams
2nd%: Chance of advancing past the first round
P20 NumS W SL 2nd%
30+ 10 8 9 50.0%
27-29 11 12 11 72.7%
24-26 11 13 10 54.5%
21-23 11 10 10 36.4%
20- 5 2 5 20.0%
With the exception of the very hottest of teams, playing well down the stretch seems to be directly related to your chances of advancing past the first round but doesn't seem to translate into any further success beyond that. In this small sample, teams scoring 27-29 points in their final 20 games had twice the chance of advancing than teams scoring 21-23. In other words, the hot teams advance out of the first round but, after that, all bets are off.
As for the cold teams, only five teams in the past three seasons failed to play better than .500 in their final 20 games and of them only one advanced past the first round, the Dallas Stars in 2007-08. If that pattern holds true, you had better not invest in any Calgary Flames in your playoff drafts this year.
The hottest two teams in the past three seasons were the Detroit Red Wings in 2005-06, who scored 35 points in the final 20 games, and the San Jose Sharks in 2007-08, who bagged 34 points. Detroit was knocked off in the first round by the eventual Stanley Cup finalists the Edmonton Oilers, who had limped in with only 22 points in the final 20 games, and the Sharks were knocked around in the 2nd round last season by the aforementioned Dallas Stars.
Going into these playoffs this year, keep your eye on the Carolina Hurricanes and the even hotter Pittsburgh Penguins, who find themselves in the hottest group. The Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues, Columbus Bluejackets and Washington Capitals are the other hot teams – all but a couple of them should advance. The Calgary Flames are the only truly cold team, but the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers have both been quite cool.
In conclusion, I wouldn't be surprised if the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins were to advance past the cool Philadelphia Flyers in the first round, nor if the ice-cold Calgary Flames were dropped by the Chicago Blackhawks, but I'll reserve all judgment for the second round and beyond.

A Hempstead woman shot by a Nassau County police officer searching for suspected drug dealers who lived in the apartment below her has reached a $650,000 settlement with the county, according to her attorney and court records.
Iyanna Davis was shot in 2010, once in the breast, by a bullet that then went through her abdomen and both thighs, by an officer who said his assault rifle went off accidentally, court records say. Davis was never charged with any crime and the officer was cleared by an internal police investigation of any wrongdoing.
[...]Davis' case was among those featured in a Newsday article looking into the Nassau police department's use of deadly force. The article said that shootings by the police were ruled by internal investigations to be justified, even when the circumstances may have been questionable.
Davis, who was 22 when she was shot, has said that when the officers burst into her building, she hid in a closet because she thought they were armed robbers. "I told them I was afraid and do not shoot me, and one officer screamed at me to put my hands above my head," she said in a deposition. "That's when I heard the shot and I felt myself sit down because the force actually knocked me back on my backside."
Though the actual police internal investigation is sealed because of a confidentiality agreement, Horn has said it was filled with "inaccuracies" in order to justify the shooting that he termed "reckless."
Among the inaccuracies was the claim that "had her jumping out of the closet," Horn has said.

D.J.: I'll babysit my new cousins anytime, except for Friday and Saturday nights.
Stephanie: And I'll take Friday and Saturday, until I start dating.
Michelle: I'll help, too, but no diapers. They make me apprehensive.
Mr. Lowry: Now, one of the most exciting things about 4th grade is that we'll be using computers. Has anyone ever used one?
Stephanie: (stands up) I've used my sister D.J.'s computer. She used up the last of the cream rinse in the shower this morning. That's why my hair doesn't have as much body and bounce as it usually does.
(she looks at the rest of the class)
Stephanie: I guess I'll sit down now. I'm really not a geek.
Mr. Lowry: No one said you were.
Doctor: This is an interesting sonogram. Boy...!
Jesse: It's a boy! We'll name him-- We'll name him, uh, Jesse Junior. How's his hair? Does he need mousse?
Doctor: I'm not saying it's a boy.
Jesse: Oh. Then it's a girl. Jessica Junior. She's not datin' 'til she's 35.
Doctor: I didn't say it was a girl.
Jesse: What's left?
Danny: Please, make new friends.
Danny: Hey, it's 3:00am. School starts tomorrow. You're making lunches. Welcome back.
(he exits)
Jesse: That's it? I've been on tour all summer, and that's all I get?
Michelle: Next time, come home earlier.
Joey: (sings) Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's got the can't-sleep-school's-startin'-too-excited-about-kindergarten-need-some-milk-and-cookies blu-u-ues!
Michelle: Oh, yeah!
Joey: (gruff voice) That chick knocks me out.
Michelle: (to herself in her sleep) You have a big day tomorrow. (out of her sleep) This is not working.
Manny: It's not that simple, Jesse-boy. Twins are twice the feeding, twice the crying, twice the diapers, and twice the responsibility. (laughs)
Danny: Who are you?
Manny: I'm your evil twin, Manny Tanner.
Danny: You need a shower, Manny.
Jesse: (about the twins) I don't know. I guess I'm just a little apprehensive.
Michelle: Appre-what?
Jesse: Apprehensive. It means that I'm nervous about the twins.
Miss Wiltrout: There you are, Michelle! What happened?
Michelle: That boy said I was strange.
Teddy: She talks with her hands on her head!
Michelle: Hold it, mister, park it right here!
Jesse: Michelle, I don't really feel like talking right now.
Michelle: But you always talk to me!
Jesse: Hmm, I guess you're right. I've been spilling my guts to you since before you could talk back.
Michelle: Spill those guts.
Rebecca: Jess, we're having twins! Oh, honey!
Jesse: Twins? I just wanted to know if it was a boy or a girl.
Mr. Lowry: Stephanie, would you like to introduce us to your guest?
Stephanie: Uh, not really.
Michelle: I'm her sister Michelle.
Mr. Lowry: Hi. I'm Mr. Lowry.
Michelle: (to Stephanie) You were right. He is a major babe!
(the other students laugh)

Degree or certificate program: Majoring in biochemistry
Hometown: Lives in Lake Villa; immigrated to U.S. from Hungary as a teenager. Attended Vernon Hills High School for two years before enrolling at CLC.
Transfer school:At Purdue University she will major in in biochemistry and minor in forensic science.
Interests and hobbies: Travel, movies, music, dancing and playing volleyball. I go back to Hungary every year to visit my family.
In high school, no one else spoke my language. I love to talk so I needed to learn English fast!
At CLC, I rediscovered my love of chemistry. I took chemistry in the ninth grade in Hungary. At CLC I took Chemistry I, and it made me realize how much I like chemistry. I had Dr. Bruce Moy, and he was always really positive and willing to help no matter what. You can tell he loves chemistry and he loves to teach, so it was easy to go to his class and learn from him.
I work at the Southlake and Grayslake campuses as a Student Ambassador and have been doing that for two years. It was a good experience for me to move out of my comfort zone and open up to others. At New Student Orientations I get to show the campus to new students and talk about all the possibilities at CLC.
I'm also involved in the Criminal Justice Club. I'm also an officer in the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and I'm involved in the Engineering Club, where we worked on many interesting projects like making robots and a weather balloon. I've made a lot of friends there, so it's like hanging out.
I want to work in a crime lab for some big agency like the FBI. I will have to get a master's in biochemistry and maybe one in forensic science.
I liked the diversity in my classes because I got to hear the opinions of those who were older. Especially in humanities classes, it's interesting how conversation goes when we're debating and sharing thoughts.
A lot of students don't realize how good CLC is until they get here. In high school, a lot of kids are focused on going away to school and they don't appreciate a community college. When I came here, I learned how great the experience can be if you put effort into your school work.
"I rediscovered my love of chemistry at CLC. My professor was such a great teacher and passionate about chemistry that it was easy to go to class and learn."
"CLC offers so much more than cost savings. I've received an excellent education that's a good stepping stone to my goal of becoming a clinical psychologist."
"CLC is such a welcoming environment for international students. Within my first year here, I was helping other international students as a student ambassador."
"CLC has absolutely played a role in changing my educational and career goals. I had space to explore different fields and talk to many knowledgeable people about careers and opportunities."
"I loved my education courses. The professors bring a lot of experiences into their classrooms, and everything we learn builds from class to class."
"I have enjoyed all the instructors in the horticulture department, especially their expertise and practical work experiences. All the classes that I have taken are pertinent to my career choice."
"Even if money hadn't been an issue for me, I think CLC still would have been the right decision for me because of the wonderful things that I took with me from the college."
"Really get to know your professors; they are the ones who will write you a letter of recommendation in a few years, so keep in touch with them."
"College is the best decision I ever made. As a senior at Zion-Benton High School, I received a scholarship to CLC. I thought, "This is an opportunity.""
"I traveled to Peru for a two-week trip with five other CLC students as part of CLC's first service-learning trip abroad. We were able to do good and experienced Peru's breath-taking eco-systems."
"The Truck Driver Training course built my confidence and really prepared me well for a successful career in this field."
"I chose CLC's Small Business Development Center for guidance and help meeting people who have already gone through the process of starting a business. They are a great team of experts to have on my side."
"I became the first community college student accepted as an intern at a newsroom in Erie, Penn., thanks to my experiences on The CLC Chronicle and working with Professor Kupetz. That first internship opened many doors for me."
"I am currently working part-time as a paralegal while enrolled as a full-time student in Roosevelt University's Paralegal Studies program. If I had not received the education I had from CLC, I would not have the part-time job."
"CLC was great preparation for transfer to a four-year school. I got comfortable with my abilities, and I was confident when I transferred to NIU. At CLC, I was also able to explore different courses and my interests."
"There is something about CLC's environment and the professors that makes your experience very enjoyable and helps you to do well academically."
"The course prepared me for a veterinary assistant job and the externship was a great part of the reason I felt prepared."
"CLC is a melting pot; a microcosm of America. The students come from so many different backgrounds and contexts, that you learn almost as much from your classmates as you do from your courses."

Mounted police - scotland??
I have recently applied for the job of groom at Strathclyde Mounted Branch in Stewarton, Ayrshire.
I was wondering if anyone else has or know of anyone who has and if they have heard anything back from them yet?
I emailed my application and although it has only been a week Im starting to get paranoid about whether I sent it correctly.
If anyone has any information on this it would be much appreciated!!
Hi Rob, and welcome to the forum! I don't live in Scotland, but I have worked as a groom for two different large horse stables here in the US. My suggestion is to go directly to the stable and introduce yourself in person telling them you are following up on your on-line application - very likely with a position such as that, they would rather meet you in person to see your abilities with the horses. Best of luck :)
Rob, I would just wait another week or two, then phone them up and ask for confirmation that they indeed have your application.
Outside of that, bugging them isn't going to accomplish anything positive so you'll just have to be patient.

COONS, BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1826–1892). Benjamin Franklin Coons, merchant, was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1826, the son of David and Mary Coons. He led wagon trains to Santa Fe in 1846, 1847, and 1848, and by September 1848 had established himself as a merchant in El Paso del Norte and elsewhere in Chihuahua. Coons bought ranch property near El Paso del Norte from Juan María Ponce de León in 1849 and leased the main buildings and six acres to the United States government for $250 dollars a month as the site for the first military post in the area. He then proceeded to build a tavern, warehouse, stables, and store just west of the army post. Hoping to capitalize on the potential market, he established a partnership with Lewis and Groesbeck of San Antonio in 1850. Financial difficulties began almost immediately, however. The first wagon train, plagued by unscrupulous drivers and a scarcity of water, took nearly five months to travel from San Antonio, and most of the shipment was ruined as a result. Also, that summer Coons absorbed a loss totalling nearly $18,000, having accepted several bills of credit that later proved to be forgeries.
He went to California in late 1850, regained a measure of financial security, and returned to El Paso early in 1851. Unfortunately for him, when the United States troops left Coons' Rancho in September, 1851, Coons lost his most reliable source of income and was soon forced to default on his property payments. His ranch repossessed, he returned to California to seek yet another fortune. He apparently achieved some measure of success herding sheep, moved back to St. Louis in 1856, and married Sophie Delor in 1859. Later censuses listed him as a farmer and teamster. Coons died in St. Louis on December 14, 1892. The Franklin community (later renamed El Paso) and the Franklin Mountains are said to have been named for him.

LAS CRUCES >> Armed robberies last only moments and usually involve just a fistful of cash, but the aftermath often mushrooms then lingers for the victims involved.
That experience, unfortunately, is hitting more Las Crucens recently.
In the past nine days, gunmen have robbed four Las Cruces businesses: two pizza parlors, a sandwich shop and a dollar store. During the same span, a woman out walking was robbed at gunpoint.
Police don't know yet if all the store robberies are related -- though the most recent appear to have been the crimes of a duo working together, and victims of the pizza parlor holdups earlier in the week gave strikingly similar descriptions of a suspect, according to Las Cruces Police Department incident reports.
As police investigate the possible ties of recent cases, LCPD spokesman Dan Trujillo said the week's rash of armed robberies is "definitely a spike," but it doesn't reflect broader data officials are seeing.
For the past five years, LCPD has handled an average of 74 robberies per year (the department's numbers don't separate armed robberies). In 2010 LCPD investigated 96 robberies, the peak during that date range, according to the most recent annual crime data report. The next year robberies reported to LCPD dropped to 62.
LCPD has received information about 15 armed robberies in the past two months, Trujillo said, fitting that range.
The Pizza Hut on Missouri Avenue was among the first businesses hit during this late September uptick. The Sept. 20 robbery wasn't the restaurant's first.
Manager Sally Hallsted said it was that Pizza Hut's fourth armed robbery since she began working there seven years ago, and second since July.
She suspects the robber is "the same guy," she said Thursday during an afternoon lull at the restaurant.
Hallsted was not working when the masked robber walked in last week, but an employee who was there told police the suspect had the same build, mannerisms and "even sounded the same" as the man who robbed the store July 27.
The perpetrator of the Sept. 20 robbery has been described as Hispanic, about 5-foot-9, with a tattoo, possibly in cursive writing on the left side of his neck. Armed with a black handgun, he was wearing a gray sweatshirt, black ski mask and baggy blue jeans, police reported.
Due to a lack of security cameras, no images of the man were available. But, Hallsted said, her Pizza Hut is in the process of installing surveillance equipment and more exterior lighting to make the restaurant safer.
Two nights after that incident, minutes away form the Pizza Hut, a gunman robbed the Little Caesars restaurant near El Paseo Road and Missouri Avenue. The description LCPD gave was almost identical: Hispanic man, black handgun, gray sweatshirt, black ski mask and baggy blue jeans.
Las Cruces Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information that helps authorities identify the "suspect or suspects," in the pizza parlor robberies.
Thursday the manager on duty when Little Caesars was robbed said company policy did not allow him to speak publicly about the incident.
Shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday, according to LCPD, gunmen robbed night two neighboring businesses off North Valley Drive, a Dollar General store and Subway restaurant.
Police are searching for two suspects, both described as Hispanic men, in those robberies. Both are estimated to be about 5-foot-9, wearing a blue bandana and white shoes. One of the suspects had a gray hoodie and dark blue jeans. The other work a black hoodie and lighter blue jeans.
Victims reported to LCPD that the men were seen fleeing, eastbound on McClure Road, possibly in a maroon Ford Expedition with tinted windows.
Police found cell phones one of the robbers had taken from Subway employees on the north side of the Dollar General store, next to a pair of white latex gloves.
The manager of the Subway, who was not working during the robbery, said he was reviewing surveillance footage from the 16 cameras in the small store, hoping some could be useful to investigators. An employee at the Dollar General said Thursday she was not authorized to talk about the robbery.
Trujillo said such robberies underscore the importance of installing high-quality cameras inside businesses.
The impact on the businesses and their employees goes beyond just the money taken.
Hallsted estimated the robbery cost $800 in lost sales, including more than $300 in orders her Pizza Hut had to cancel in the wake of the crime. Some employees resigned. One of the workers was punched in the mouth by the robber and had his Batman wallet stolen, according to the police report.

Mark Herzlich signs with Giants
|07.26.11 at 10:35 am ET
Former Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich tweeted Tuesday that he will sign with the Giants as an undrafted free agent.
Tweeted Herzlich: "Decision is made I will be a GIANT can't wait to get to NYC. Thank you for everything."
Herzlich was a solid NFL prospect after earning 2008 ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors, but was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma (a form of bone cancer) in 2009. Now with a titanium rod in his left leg, Herzlich is cancer-free. He returned to the field last season with 65 tackles. For his career, Herzlich had 314 tackles, seven forced fumbles and 11 interceptions.
In signing with the Giants, Herzlich joins a BC-friendly team. Head coach Tom Coughlin coached the Eagles from 1991-1993, while former BC guard Chris Snee has been a Giant since his selection in the second round of the 2004 draft.
Herzlich said on SportsCenter that being undrafted has motivated him to be a force at the next level.
Said Herzlich: "I do have a chip on my shoulder, and there's really no other way to go about it."

|Effect of different intravenous nutrients on upper gastrointestinal secretion in rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 1726449 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Total parenteral nutrition has been advocated for nutritional support of patients with proximal small bowel fistula. Data on the direct effects of different nutrients on upper gastrointestinal secretion are controversial. Therefore, we examined the effects of glucose, amino acid, fat and mixed parenteral solutions on gastric juice secretion, hydrochloric acid and pepsin content, duodenal juice secretion, and pancreatic protein, amylase, bilirubin and bicarbonate content in thirty rats with chronic gastric and duodenal fistulas. Gastric secretion was increased by glucose solution (D10W) and by amino acid solution (5% AA) (13% and 12% increase respectively) but not to significant degree by fat emulsion (2% F). Both D10W and 5% AA caused comparable increase in hydrochloric acid secretion (D10W: +34%; 5% AA: +28%) and the pepsin secretion (D10W: +37%). The single infusion of hypertonic glucose, amino acids and fat were associated with decreases in duodenal fistula volume (p less than 0.05) or content output. Mixed nutrients decreased both gastric secretion (volume: -28%; HCl: -19%; pepsin: -65%) and duodenal juice volume (p less than 0.05), protein and amylase content (p less than 0.05). The elevated bilirubin in reduced volume of duodenal juice caused by mixed nutrients may be responsible for bile sludge formation. This study indicates that the use of parenteral nutrition can provide full nutritional support while decreases the fistula output.
