Use the new year to launch a new fitness routine
The New Year is hereit's time for a fresh start! How about a fitter, happier you in 2004? Several new fitness books, each brimming with the latest nutrition and exercise research, offer positive, powerful tools for achieving glowing good health.
Fitness consultant Dr. Gabe Mirkin pampers the body's hardest working muscle in The Healthy Heart Miracle (HarperResource, $22.95, 288 pages, ISBN 0060196807). This handbook holds a dramatic newsflash: heart health can improve in just two weeks with simple changes in diet and exercise habits. Mirkin's DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) Plus ("plus" equals exercise) program promotes the consumption of whole grains, beans, fruits and vegetables. Mirkin says his plan, an eight-week journey toward permanent lifestyle change, can prevent heart attack, diabetes, stroke and premature aging. Chapters discuss the specifics of hypertension and show how to avoid or reverse it using DASH. Helpful sidebars offer tips on fitness, diet and supplements, exercise and disease prevention. Appendices give shopping lists, menu plans, uncomplicated recipes and worksheets for tracking progress. This easily navigable road map charts a steady path to a stronger, healthier heart.
Nutrient knockouts
Broccoli, blueberries and soy . . . oh my! Dr. Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews present their powerhouse prescription in SuperFoods Rx. Fourteen "super" foods each pack a hefty nutrient wallop that works synergistically to reduce heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Add regular exercise, sufficient rest and fluid intake, positive socializing and stress management, and the blueprint for health is complete. This compendium gives uncomplicated eating guidelines and devotes individual chapters to the eatables on the SuperFoods list. There is nutrition information on each specific foodfrom salmon to spinachan explanation of its health benefits and suggestions for incorporating it into your daily diet. The book's bibliography is impressive; read a fraction of the material and you'll be nutrition-savvy in no time.
Don't sweat it
So, you're eating more veggies and fewer Krispy Kremes. But what's missing? Exercise, of course! To the rescue is Quick Fit: The Complete 15-Minute No-Sweat Workout (Atria, $23, 240 pages, ISBN 0743471024) by fitness consultant Richard Bradley. He solves the problem of squeezing a workout into your crowded day with an easy exercise plan for healthybut sedentaryadults. This workout features a moderate 15-minute mix of aerobic activity, strength training and stretches that can be done anywherein any attire. Quick Fit's friendly approach extols the benefits of physical fitness, demystifies our reluctance to exercise and offers inspiring motivational tips and testimonials. There's basic advice on hand weights and athletic shoes, creative suggestions to keep new exercisers enthused and ways to tailor the plan to time constraints or new fitness goals.
On top of the world
Joe Decker was overweight, addicted and totally out of shape. Now called "The World's Fittest Man," he presents his story and a four-week fitness plan in The World's Fittest You: Four Weeks to Total Fitness (Dutton, $24.95, 304 pages, ISBN 0525947590), written with Eric Neuhaus. Decker's upbeat attitude informs this positive, carefully calibrated diet and exercise program, adaptable for folks of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels. He believes that success lies in making small changes slowly, in self-knowledge and in goal-setting. Fittest You states that eating rightnot dietingis empowering, and touts the "FIT" technique, a workout based on the latest exercise research, that "shocks" your body into shape with varied cardio, strength training and flexibility routines. The book has a diet, fitness and medical self-inventory, FIT instruction and a 28-day exercise/eating plan. Illustrated appendices show cardio, strength and stretching moves that can be done in the gym or at home.
The 'wholistic' approach
Complete fitness, believes trainer Steve Ilg, is flexing your muscles and your mind. "Don't just work out, work within," he instructs in Total Body Transforma- tion: A 3-Month Personal Fitness Prescription for a Strong, Lean Body and a Calmer Mind (Hyperion, $24.95, 288 pages, ISBN 0786868511). This unusual program, "Wholistic Fitness," combines yoga with cardio and strength training, and is aimed at regular exercisers, athletes and the super fit. But whatever your fitness level, this reflective approach can enrich the spirit, stimulating physical and emotional health.
Alison Hood writes from California, land of the super fit, where she sneaks chocolate and pretends to like tofu.

"Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. Louisa Clark is an ordinary girl living an exceedingly ordinary life - steady boyfriend, close family - who has never been farther afield than their her village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life - big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel - and now he's pretty sure he cannot live the way he is. Will is acerbic, moody and bossy, but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.
"The Missing Manuscript of Jane Austen" by Syrie James. Samantha McDonough cannot believe her eyes - or her luck. Tucked in an uncut page of a 200-year old poetry book is a letter she believes was written by Jane Austen, mentioning with regret a manuscript that "went missing at Greenbriar in Devonshire." Could there really be an undiscovered Jane Austen novel waiting to be found? Could anyone resist the temptation to go looking for it? Making her way to the beautiful, centuries-old Greenbriar estate, Samantha finds it no easy task to sell its owner - the handsome yet uncompromising Anthony Whitaker - on her wild idea of searching for a lost Austen work, until she mentions its possible million dollar value. After discovering the unattributed manuscript, Samantha and Anthony are immediately absorbed in the story of Rebecca Stanhope, daughter of a smalltown rector, who is about to encounter some bittersweet truths about life and love. As they continue to read the newly discovered tale from the past, a new one unfolds in the present - a story that just might change both of their lives forever.
"Empire and Honor" by W.E.B. Griffin and William E. Butterworth IV. October 1945: The Germans and Japanese have surrendered. For Cletus Frade and his colleagues in the OSS, it should be time to pack up, but they have far more important things to do. In the closing months of the war, the United States made a secret deal with the head of German intelligence's Soviet section. In exchange for a treasure trove of intelligence, including the identity of the Soviet spies in the American atomic bomb program, his people would be spirited to safety. If word got out, all hell would break loose, and the United States would lose some of its best sources, not to mention its most valuable secrets. It is up to Frade and company to keep them all safe. But some people have other ideas.
"The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?" by Jared Diamond. Most of us take for granted the features of modern society, from air travel and telecommunications to literacy and obesity. Yet, for nearly all of its 6 million years of existence, human society had none of these things. While the gulf that divides us from our primitive ancestors may seem unbridgeably wide, we can glimpse much of our former lifestyle in those largely traditional societies still, or recently in existence. Societies like those of the New Guinea Highlanders remind us that it was only yesterday - in evolutionary time - when everything changed and that we moderns still possess bodies and social practices often better adapted to traditional than to modern conditions. "The World Until Yesterday" provides a mesmerizing first-hand picture of the human past as it had been for millions of years - a past that has mostly vanished - and considers what the differences between that past and our present mean for our lives today.

Technically, stocks finished ever so mixed today, though in reality they did little of anything.
The S&P 500 fell 0.01% to 2,088.87, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.01% to 17,813.39. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.3% to 5,116.14.
The S&P 500 has gained 1.5% so far this year, and the folks at Bespoke Investment Group contend "bulls should be thankful that the overall market is even up at all on the year":
With big gains in some of the market's largest stocks masking weakness among some of the S&P 500's smaller components this year, we have also seen weak breadth within the S&P 500's Industry Groups. Through today, just 11 of the S&P 500's 24 Industry Groups are up on the year. This is the weakest annual reading since 2008 when all 24 groups were down on the year. The charts below show the annual number of S&P 500 Industry Groups with positive annual returns compared to the S&P 500's annual return for each year. Looking at the chart, there have only been five years where there were a fewer number of groups up on the year (1990, 1994, 2001, 2002, and 2008), and in all five of those years the S&P 500 was down for the year. Widening the scope a little bit, of the ten years where 15 or fewer industry groups were in the black for the year, the S&P 500's average return was a decline of 6.7% (median: -4.0%), with returns ranging from –38.5% (2008) to 19.5% (1999). However you look at it, given the narrow breadth we've seen in 2015, bulls should be thankful that the overall market is even up at all on the year.
JPMorgan's Jason Hunter argues that stocks will head higher in 2016:
We expect the S&P 500 Index to transition from a volatile consolidation pattern to an extension of the longer-term rally in 2016. Similar to the 2015 Outlook we presented a year ago, our longer-term Elliott wave model provides a framework for the forecast. From a pure technical perspective, more defined signals and pattern development make the transition from a trending environment to a consolidating range more predictable (the gist of our 2015 Outlook). Forecasting the opposite transition often proves to be more of a qualitative process. Despite that, we believe a combination of technical and macro factors provide a general roadmap for next year. On the macro front, Fed expectations play an important role again. Our forecast for higher inflation expectations would likely lead to the rates markets repricing to a more aggressive Fed Funds rate trajectory. The shift to higher rates and a steeper 2s/5s curve can help keep equity indices contained into the early months of 2016. Bigger picture, that adjustment process should coincide with the completion of the forecasted consolidation pattern and allow the S&P 500 Index to release higher thereafter.
Now that would be something to be thankful for.
In examining Deere's (DE) better-than-forecast earnings, Citigroup's Timothy Thein and team note the farm-machinery manufacturer's
"serious share shrink":
Free cash flow is projected to decline to $1.8BB (still exceeding net income) from $2.4BB. Deere bought back $2.8BB in stock in FY15, and has reduced its share count by 36% since '04 (putting it on Citi's "Share Shrinkers" list) though we expect this pace to slow in FY16 given recently-announced M&A…
Maintain Buy Rating — The headwinds facing the NA row crop/large Ag equipment sector are well-known, and time (and weather) will tell how long this downturn lasts. That said, Deere has managed its cost base well in response, and continues to generate strong FCF, which we see being allocated in a shareholder-friendly manner. Our FY16 / out year ests. are unchanged; maintain Buy rating and $90 tgt.
Shares of Deere have gained 4.4% to $79.67 at 3:14 p.m. today, while Agco (AGCO) has risen 1.4% to $49.82, and Toro (TTC) has advanced 1.3% to $77.48.
Evercore ISI's James West and team contend that there are still too many rigs among the offshore drillers, which should "keep pricing power in the operator's hands for some time." He explains:
Brent oil is up 6% from recent lows, but offshore-related names have underperformed the U.S. land-levered subsectors despite further declines in the U.S. rig count. We expect the rig count to bottom in 1Q16 and for NAM-levered names to continue to outperform for the foreseeable future, while the offshore subsectors continue to lag for a few quarters or more. We believe offshore spending could pick up a bit in the back half of 2016, but a material uptick in 2017 will require several quarters of oil price stability in the $60+ range. Within the offshore-driven subsectors, we favor select Capital Equipment and SMID Cap Niche Technology providers such as Buy-rated FMC Technologies (FTI) which should benefit from a potential pick up in greenfield development spending in 2017. Standardization of field tested equipment and re-engineering/downsizing of large projects contributed to a 10-30% reduction in project costs over the past year, which should incentivize operators to sanction projects and order production-related equipment to ensure timely delivery. In contrast, operators know there is plenty of excess supply within the global drilling rig and transportation fleets. While some contractors retired aging rigs, cold stacked assets, and cancel new construction projects, excess supply should keep pricing power in the operator's hands for some time. As a result, we remain cautious on the offshore drillers and transportation subsectors but like Buy rated Ensco (ESV), Rowan (RDC), and Bristow Group (BRS) for their strong balance sheets and superior fleet quality, low operating cost basis, and solid backlog…
We continue to remain cautious on the offshore drillers, but prefer Ensco and Rowan as relative Buys for their superior fleet quality, low operating cost basis, and solid backlog. We also believe Buy-rated Ocean Rig UDW (ORIG) deserve a degree of valuation differentiation due to its highly contracted fleet in the near term. Having already gone through significant restructuring and/or management changes in recent years, we believe these companies are positioned to weather the current downturn. Though we see potential for consolidation among the Offshore Drillers, we prefer companies that take a conservative stance on their balance sheet.
Shares of FMC Technologies have dropped 0.5% to $34.03 at $2:51 p.m. today, while Ocean Rig UDW has fallen 1.2% to $1.99, Ensco has advanced 0.2% to $17.31, Rowan has risen 0.8% to $20.59, and Bristow Group has gained 1.5% to $31.78.

When voters support "Care Not Cash'' obstructionists -- Alioto, Ammiano, Gonzalez and Leal -- they lead City Hall politicians to believe the electorate is not serious.
Binder has a nicer way of looking at what I see as schizoid voting. "Sometimes we overlook the pragmatic center of San Francisco," Binder noted, referring to less ideological voters "who generally have the votes to swing the balance of power from one side to another. They just want a city that works, and they want to be proud of their city."
Fine, but if the voters are angry at the advance of squalor downtown and in the neighborhoods, and if they want action, they won't get what they want by sending mixed messages that tell "progressives" they can keep stonewalling.
In politics, only strong numbers talk. Look at what happened after Arnold Schwarzenegger's solid victory at the polls. When it looked as if he might just squeak into office, Sacramento Democrats were ready to pounce on the new governor. Then, when the numbers proved to be so great that savvy partisans were forced to admit that voters were rejecting politics as usual, they began tripping over each other in their eagerness to show they got the message.
San Francisco is a beautiful city. There is no excuse for the rancid smells. There's no excuse for letting sick people degrade themselves and the streets they inhabit.
Yet there would be no need for excuses if voters didn't repeatedly vote against their own wishes. So, if San Franciscans don't strongly back Gavin Newsom, the man with the plan, maybe they're not serious about cleaning up their city.

Bradleyville Off The Beaten Path
Hercules Glades Wilderness
This is a great place to hike, camp, horseback ride, and/or backpack. It is located in Taney County Missouri in the Mark Twain National Forest. There are 32 miles of trail and three trail heads. "A mix of typical oak/hickory forests interspersed with open post oak savannahs and rocky, desert-like glades are home to many species of plants and wildlife. This includes some species that are often considered to be southwestern species. prickly pear cacti, roadrunner, scorpions, collared lizard, pygmy rattlesnakes, and even tarantulas call Hercules Glades Wilderness home, not to mention other wildlife more common in Missouri like the white-tailed deer and wild turkey." (wikipedia)
The campground has a pit toilet but there is no water so bring your own! No charge for camping and first come first served.
We saw evidence of what looked like old homesteads. The trails follow open limestone glades, ridgetops, and creeks and waterfalls. They are rated difficult to most difficult and go from 600 feet to 1200 feet in elevation. Take a compass as there is not a lot of signage.
Branson is about 10 miles away
GPS co-ordinates of the parking lot are n36 41.139 w092 52.645
How to get there:
From Bradleyville, MO, take Hwy 125 south 8.5 miles to Hercules Tower trailhead, where you will enjoy a Panoramic view of the wilderness from its highest point. There is a vault toilet, space for camping and parking at this location. The first part of the trail is mostly level, then it descends a slope to Long Creek. Or, take the 4-mile Pees Hollow loop north along the hollow bottom, then back along the ridge.Related to:

Marlo's Monopoly
We are belatedly watching The Wire, nearing the end of Season V. [N.B.: see Sudhir Venkatesh's series of blog posts called "What Do Real Thugs Think of The Wire?"] By Episode 6, Marlo Stanfield has killed off the competing retail drug lords and also the chief wholesaler, Proposition Joe. At the next meeting of Baltimore drug lords, Marlo allocates territories among his subordinates and announces to everyone a large rise in the wholesale price of drugs. Not surprising—he has turned an oligopoly into a monopoly, with him as the monopolist.
Marlo doesn't realize it yet, but his monopoly status gives others a bigger incentive to attack him. Don't spoil the suspense for me, but I wouldn't be surprised, although I would be pleased, if Marlo is bumped off by his own subordinates—it's hard to maintain monopoly power.
The Midol Monopolist
A student writes that she became a monopolist in her freshman dorm — hoarding Midol to sell to her dorm-mates at the time each month when dorm-mate had a quite inelastic demand for this product. She also realized that at that time, there is an increasingly inelastic demand for chocolate-chip cookies, so she hoarded and sold those, too. She correctly notes that the two goods are complementary over time — more of both consumed on some days than on others. But I bet that over a short interval, they are substitutes — the satisfaction from one reduces the demand for the other. This illustrates how we need to think about the time dimension of consumer choice. I would also bet that her monopoly doesn't last long. Anybody can bring the two products to the dorm and sell them — there are few barriers to entry. A better description is that she's an innovating entrepreneur in what inherently will be a competitive industry.
Massimo Young Reports from Kenya: The Surprising Secret to Banking Success
My good friend Massimo Young recently moved to Kenya, where he is seeing what happens when you mix a little American ingenuity into a thriving but chaotic developing economy. In what I hope is the first of many blog posts, Massimo reports on just what it takes to succeed in the banking industry in Kenya. (Massimo does not have a financial interest in any of the companies discussed in his post, although he wishes he did!)
M-PESA: The Story of the Most Successful Bank in Kenya
By Massimo Young
It's not easy to do business in Kenya. Business people complain all the time that despite a wealth of opportunities, there are often major roadblocks to accomplishing much on the ground, especially at scale. In fact, Kenya ranks 121st out of 185 countries in the World Bank's "Ease of Doing Business" survey.
On the other hand, there are some amazing examples in recent years of businesses that have managed to accomplish a lot very quickly. In particular, the wild success of mobile banking in Kenya has changed the way people use money here. Launched just 5 years ago, Kenya's leading mobile money transfer service, M-PESA, now processes a total of about $5 billion in transactions per year, equivalent to an astounding 15% of the country's GDP. Before it launched, only 14% of Kenyans participated in the formal banking sector. Today, about half the adult population uses M-PESA. Read More »
A Monopolist's Bridge
More than 25 per cent of trade between the U.S. and Canada goes over the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. The bridge, built in 1929, has since 1979 been owned by one individual — Matty Moroun. He also owns duty-free stores and sells gasoline that escapes taxes. The Bridge isn't quite a monopoly—there is also a tunnel; but the Bridge is more convenient for a lot of traffic.
Michigan has a constitutional amendment on the ballot requiring that any new bridge be approved by voters before state money is spent on it. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Bridge owner is funding a large advertising campaign supporting the amendment. No monopolist likes to have the stream of monopoly profits diminished, which a new bridge would surely do. His political advertising is a smart move for him—a good way to ensure a continuing flow of profits. Whether it's good for Michigan, for U.S.-Canada trade and the well-being of the average North American consumer is questionable. (HT to DJH)
Lawn Mowing Economics
As a teen Max had a great business mowing lawns. He used his hand-pushed power mower to build up a large clientele in a radius of his family's house. When his friend and neighbor Charlie entered the business, ending Max's local monopoly, Max didn't have to cut his price—Charlie just expanded the radius of the client area.
Max knew he had problems, however, when he saw Charlie drive out of his garage on a riding mower. Charlie could now do four times as many lawns/day as Max. Max started losing customers when Charlie cut prices, as he could afford to (because his average cost/lawn was lower than Max's and had a minimum with a higher output.) Not wanting to compete on price, and unable to get his parents to buy a riding mower, Max decided his opportunity cost was above his now lower lawn-mowing wage, and he quit the business to open a lemonade stand. (HT to MF)
Inheriting a Rembrandt: A Rare Case of a Monopoly
We inherited several art works, including a Rembrandt etching—a portrait of an old man. Is it worth anything?? An art appraiser/detective hunted down its story. The print itself is new—pulled on highest-quality paper in the 1990s from Rembrandt's plates. Apparently no prints were made in most of the 20th century. In the 1990s the plate's owner pulled a small number, but none since, and none planned.
The owner has a monopoly on the plate and understands revenue maximization (there are essentially no variable costs): Pull just enough prints to have sufficient quantity to drive the price elasticity of demand to unity, but no more than that. Not only does his strategy gain him the most revenue, but it keeps the price of our print up in case we decide to sell it. This is a rare case where I benefit from monopoly!
Aliens and Cat-Food Monopolies
In the movie District 9, the aliens ("prawns") have developed a tremendous addiction to cat food. A Nigerian gangster lives in the prawns' preserve and has a monopoly on the sale of cat food to the prawns. How can he maintain his monopoly and what barriers are there to entry by other sellers?

Obama's Pre-Election Mortgage Payoff?
James Pethokoukis has an alarming report:
Main Street may be about to get its own gigantic bailout. Rumors are running wild from Washington to Wall Street that the Obama administration is about to order government-controlled lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to forgive a portion of the mortgage debt of millions of Americans who owe more than what their homes are worth. An estimated 15 million U.S. mortgages - one in five - are underwater with negative equity of some $800 billion. Recall that on Christmas Eve 2009, the Treasury Department waived a $400 billion limit on financial assistance to Fannie and Freddie, pledging unlimited help. The actual vehicle for the bailout could be the Bush-era Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, a sister program to Obama's loan modification effort. HARP was just extended through June 30, 2011.
Read on for Pethokoukis's reasoning. This is just one of the many serious problems with allowing Fannie and Freddie to continue on as government-owned entities.
UPDATE: 2:30 -- Here is a more skeptical take. But at the Atlantic, David Indiviglio thinks it's a real possibility.

The top 25 Texas high school recruiting steals of the past decade
Photo: Sue Ogrocki/AP
2. Russell Okung, OL, Oklahoma State / High school: George Bush (Houston) / Class: 2006 / Rivals rating: 3 stars / Okung among the most tenacious and talented blockers in the Big 12 for four straight years. After seeing action in the first five games of his true freshman year, Okung stepped into the starting lineup in game six, kicking off an incredible streak of 47 straight starts to end his career in Stillwater. He made two All-Big 12 teams and was a consensus All American as a senior. He earned Big 12 Lineman of the Year honors (over OU's Trent Williams) and was a top 10 NFL draft pick. Truthfully, there's not much more you could ask of an o-lineman.

Aim Humans have dramatically transformed landscapes along the US–Mexico border. We aim to assess the risk of barriers that may significantly impede animal migrations within this ecologically sensitive region.
Location United States and Mexico.
Methods We examined the intersection of current and possible future barriers along the border with the geographic ranges of 313 amphibian, reptile and non-volant mammal species. We considered the areas of intensive human land use and ∼ 600 km of pedestrian fence as current barriers along the border. We evaluated the impacts of two scenarios of dispersal barriers – continuation of existing and construction of new barriers – and identified species vulnerable to global and local extinction.
Results Among the species most at risk from current barriers are four species listed as threatened globally or by both nations, 23 species for which the larger of their two national subranges is < 105 km2 and 29 species whose ranges cross the border only marginally. Three border regions, California, Madrean archipelago and Gulf coast, emerge as being of particular concern. These regions are characterized by high overall species richness and high richness of species at risk from existing barriers and from construction of potential new barriers.
Main conclusions New barriers along the border would increase the number of species at risk, especially in the three identified regions, which should be prioritized for mitigation of the impacts of current barriers. The species we identified as being potentially at risk merit further study to determine impacts of border dispersal barriers.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - John Mayberry smacked a three-run homer in the Philadelphia Phillies' 5-4 win over the Colorado Rockies in opener of a four-game set.
Carlos Ruiz cracked a solo homer among his two hits for the Phillies, who have won two in a row on the heels of a 1-7 stretch.
Ethan Martin (2-2) struck out six and surrendered two runs on four hits and two walks over 6 1/3 innings. Jonathan Papelbon fired a scoreless ninth to notch his 21st save.
"Well pitched game other than a little struggles in the eighth," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Offensively we came up big in the fourth."
Jeff Manship (0-3) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk over five frames for Colorado, which has dropped three straight tilts.
The Phillies plated four runs in the fourth and added another in the fifth to jump to a sizeable margin.
Cody Asche had an RBI groundout in the fourth before Mayberry walloped his three-run shot into the seats in left. Ruiz belted a one-out solo shot in the fifth to make it 5-0.
"I felt good going into the fourth inning...so it was a little frustrating," Manship said. "I didn't do my job."
Colorado pushed across a pair of runs in the seventh and two more in the eighth to make it a game.
Troy Tulowitzki hit a leadoff homer and Todd Helton drilled an RBI ground-rule double in the seventh, while Wilin Rosario had a two-run single in the eighth to cut the deficit to 5-4.
But Papelbon worked around a leadoff single in the ninth to preserve the victory for Philly.
The Phillies were 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position, while Colorado
finished 2-for-7 with RISP ... Tulowitzki's homer was his 21st of the year ...
Both teams had seven hits ... Rosario has a 10-game hitting streak.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Even last year's addition of Chris Paul couldn't help the Los Angeles Clippers overcome their recent struggles against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now, maybe Jamal Crawford will be the difference. Monday night will see a matchup between two of the league's early-season scoring leaders as Crawford and the Clippers host Kyrie Irving and the Cavaliers, who have won 10 of the teams' last 11 meetings. Despite coming off the bench in his first three games with the Clippers - as he has for most of his career - Crawford's 25.7 points per game rank among the league's top 10. Irving, the league's reigning rookie of the year, isn't far behind at 23.7 points per game. But neither Crawford nor Irving could keep their respective teams from suffering bitter defeats on Saturday. Crawford scored 20 against Golden State, becoming the first Clipper with 20 or more off the bench in three consecutive games since Mo Williams in January. Paul also scored a season-high 27, setting a franchise record with...

Hi my name is Rosanna. I was a recreational bike rider about 15 years ago. I don't know why I quit riding but tomorrow a repair guy is looking at my bike. It needs a bit of TLC. I can't wait to get back to riding. I'm also wondering if anyone knows of an affordable rack. I have a Chevy Malibu. I did look at the Thule but it has to be removed when not in use.I guess I could do that.(but I'd rather not) A hitch is just too expensive for me.
Help me if you can. Thanks

Please read my blog's comment policy here.
My thoughts about Mozilla's Content Security Policy proposal were just published over on the IEBlog. I actually have quite a bit more to say (at even greater length :-) about declarative security mechanisms, and some more technical feedback specific to CSP. I hope to make a number of posts on this topic to this (IEInternals) blog over the coming months, and continue to engage directly with the smart folks working on CSP over at Mozilla.
Until then, if you've got a suggestion for security features (declarative or other) that you think would be valuable for browsers to offer, feel free to sound off in the comments below!
The Mozilla folks requested that I post my detailed feedback publicly. If you're interested in the gory details, you can find them here:
Ian Hickson, editor of HTML5, weighed in with his feedback here: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.security/browse_thread/thread/87ebe5cb9735d8ca#
His conclusion? "I think CSP is orders of magnitude too complicated to be a successful security mechanism on the Web. "

Questions & AnswersExpand all Q & A Collapse all Q & A
Avatar means one who has come down. Those who want nothing, they come for the wellbeing of all. They haven't come for themselves - either to enjoy or burn karmas. They have come for jankalyan (welfare of all).
We become what we think. Especially for a devotee what he thinks comes true. But this power of thought is with the devotees only. When you become a devotee then you do not get bad thoughts. With devotion, all vikalpas go away.
It's perfectly ok to bathe in Rishikesh. You can take a dip wherever the Ganges flow.
When such parva comes, Ganga comes to every home. In South India, during Diwali the Ganga snan (bath) is done. The usual greeting is, "Have you done Ganga snan?" If you take a cold water bath in the morning, it means you have done Ganga snan.
On the banks of the Ganges, many sadhus do penance and they transfer all the merit in the waters of the Ganga. Teerth ko Sant Puneet banate hai – Teerthani pounaynti sataha!
Jaise teerth sabko puneet karte hai, sadhu ganga ko puneet karte hai. (Just as the Ganges purifies all, the saints purify the Ganges.)
The Ganges is chaitanyamayi (enlivened) hai, brahma roop hai.
As soon as you bathe you feel fresh and new. All the impurities of the mind are washed away. The mind becomes healthy.
I wouldn't say the same for the Ganges at Kanpur and beyond. The Ganges water should be kept pure. If the Ganges is polluted then its benefit won't be to the extent of its fame.
Some say drop the ego, some say destroy it. I say, let the ego stay in your pocket. If you say you have dropped the ego, it becomes a very big ego. Let the limited ego dissolve in the Universal ego. Bhagwad Geeta has elaborated on this in great detail. There are three types of ego - tamasic, rajasic and sattvic. From tamsic and rajasic come to the sattvic ego. The sattvic ego automatically dissolves into Brahman in the state of samadhi.
Use yukti (skill). It's a test of how good a sadhak you are. You stay put, she will gradually come around and she will also become happy. If you drop your practices and go behind her even you won't be happy.
If there is greed, laziness will go away. If there is fear, laziness goes away. When you are in love, there is no sign of laziness.
It has come from birth. If you keep thinking about it, it will become stronger.
The same vasana is transformed into joy and love. When there is contentment and masti, the lust automatically fades away. When the sun is shining, you don't need a torchlight.
Atma rati - atma me rati lag jaye, ishwar me man lag jaye. (Mind settles into consciousness).
Sharir ko aaram, man ko vishram to ban gaye tum atmaram. (When the body is at rest, mind relaxed, then you are one with Consciousness).
With the rise in tamoguna, laziness develops in the body. When there is no tamoguna, then you get vishram.
In laziness, you don't gain energy and strength.
If you rest well, you get energy and strength. If you sleep for seven-eight hours, you feel fresh.
If you are simply lying around, there is no enthusiasm, no strength, no freshness. The body is tired, the mind struggles with desires. When body gets rest, and the mind has no feverishness, that is happiness. It brings you strength. Sankalp siddh hone lagta hai. (Intentions start getting fulfilled).
When the mind is ridden with thoughts, then sankalpas don't come true. When you are happy, sankalpas come true.
When you have desires, you become unhappy and it becomes a vicious cycle.
Try giving your desires to someone at least for sometime. Desires exhibit your tendency to want more. Keep it aside for sometime. See, everything fills up.
At least for sometime, akinchan aur achaha hokar vishram karke dekho. (Become nothing and desireless and experience the relaxed state.)
See, there are two things: we think I haven't changed. Ask any old man whether he is old. He will get angry. He says, "I am only 70, I am not old." Within himself, he doesn't think he has become old. There is something inside us that doesn't change, it remains the same.
That's why we think we haven't changed. Think about it.
From another angle, there are so many changes in you, you are not the same as you were two months ago. Wherever your eye falls, you see I am not the same. I don't think as before, feel as before. Then you think you are progressing in life. Some walk slowly, some take a big leap.
He, who takes a leap feels it's a big change. Even if one does not experience a dramatic change, gradually the change happens.
When you look back in life see how much you have changed.
We give rise to others with our perceptions. If you look upon someone as a friend, that would be beneficial for you. If you take them to be your enemy, then that will happen.
You must study and keep doing little seva. It doesn't matter how much seva you do. Do according to your capacity, with your heart in it. That would be equal to doing seva like anyone with great capabilities.
Ram is the strength for the weak.

Derbyshire deputy police and crime commissioner is full of praise
Posted: August 02, 2014|
DERBYSHIRE'S deputy police and crime commissioner has praised independent custody visitors for their work.
Hardyal Dhindsa says that volunteers carry out their work with enthusiasm and integrity, adding that they offer reassurance to members of the public that detainees are being treated appropriately while in custody.
The volunteers make two visits a year to the custody suite in Swadlincote to ensure it is in a ready state to house temporary detainees.
Mr Dhindsa said: "They do not take sides either for or against the detainees or custody staff, but act in the best interest of all involved. Their contribution is extremely valuable to us all."

The Fission Division: Will Nuclear Power Split the Green Movement
Mark, Jason, Earth Island Journal
Situated on a tall sea cliff above pounding waves, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant enjoys the kind of stunning ocean view typical of Central California's rugged coast. Rolling hills--bright green in winter, fading to gold by summer--surround two Westinghouse reactors that generate electricity for 1.6 million homes. Pacific Ocean waters cool the uranium rods that power the plant's 4-Loop turbines. Voles, coyotes, and bobcats roam the meadows and oak glens stretching for miles behind the power station. The sound of the surf obscures any electricity hum.
A generation ago, the scene wasn't as calm. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Diablo Canyon was at the center of a national grassroots movement against nuclear power. Inspired by the mass protests organized at the Seabrook power plant in New Hampshire, thousands of California residents struggled for years to halt the construction of Diablo, which they said was too dangerous, given that a major geological fault lies just three miles away. In 1978, some 1,500 people demonstrated at the plant gates to demand a halt in construction; a year later, the number of protestors had tripled. By September 1981, the crowds had swelled to 20,000, and 1,960 people were arrested as they sought to occupy the construction site. It was the largest mass arrest in the history of the US anti-nuclear struggle.
Today the mood toward nuclear power may be changing. Atomic energy--once the bete noir of the environmental movement--is receiving a second look from many dedicated ecologists who are suggesting that, in a world threatened by climate change, splitting the atom may be preferable to burning the carbon. Many people are beginning to wonder: Can nuclear power be green?
Nuclear industry officials, who have long sought to resuscitate their flagging businesses, are eagerly fueling the debate as they seek to position their reactors as a solution to global warming. Nuclear power promoters are feeling more bullish than they have in years. Industry insiders expect that utilities will file applications with federal regulators for about 30 new atomic reactors by the end of the year.
The possibility of a nuclear power renaissance is causing strains in the environmental movement as organizations and individuals grapple with the pros and cons of using nuclear power to check carbon emissions. A number of prominent environmentalists--among them Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jared Diamond, and Gaia-theory promoter James Lovelock--have come out in favor of atomic energy as a response to climate change. Among mainline US environmental groups, there is nearly unanimity that nuclear power remains as bad an idea today as it was during the heyday of the Diablo Canyon protests. But at the grassroots level, opinion is split. As one green blogger has written: "We environmentalists must rethink our opposition to nuclear power. Those who have opposed the building of new nuclear power plants in the US over the past twenty years have actually forced the use of a filthy alternative--coal combustion that releases millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere."
Such sentiments reveal the degree to which the all-consuming threat of planetary climate change is altering green politics, forcing dedicated environmentalists to re-examine their beliefs about how best to defend the Earth. Since any deliberation about trade-offs is fundamentally a discussion of priorities, the debate over nuclear power is, at its heart, part of a much larger argument about how to balance ecological sustainability with our lifestyle expectations. Whether environmentalists decide to support nuclear power will play a large role in influencing the shape of the emerging 21st-century green economy.
"I think it's a metaphor for how our country will move into the future," says Betsy Taylor, the former head of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service and founder of The Center for a New American Dream. …

Why are the TOS movies better then the TNG movies?

Exactly but, so far, only those two ST movies have given me that extraordinarily immersive experience, where I get so totally sucked in by the premise, sets, alien makeups, uniforms, SPFX, dialogue and music that I feel like I'm actually

Thirty years apart, but amazingly close.

the movie. Luckily, TMP drew in others who loved TMP, so I hung around with them. By contrast, ST II (which I could see was more of a crowd pleaser) was veering my ST

Rocker Lenny Kravitz has teamed up with UNICEF to help address a problem affecting millions of people around the world: clean water.
The singer said about the issue, "I was born in New York City and have always taken access to clean water as a given. No child should die of diarrhea from drinking dirty water. That thousands of children under the age of five continue to die every day because they lack clean water and basic sanitation is simply unacceptable."
The good news is, the numbers are improving. Roughly 89% of the population now have clean water. It used to be 1 billion people who lacked the vital resource. Now it's 780 million people, largely in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. However, 2.5 billion people still don't have access to improved sanitation. And 4000 children die every day because they drink contaminated water.
In what is a pretty brilliant move, UNICEF and Kravitz are asking the public to donate $1 for every glass of tap water they drink from March 19 – 25 during World Water Week. Think that's a lot? Think again. Most of the bottled water people shell out a buck for is just filtered tap.
Just one dollar can provide a child with clean water for 40 days, or 40 kids with clean water for one day. Clean water helps prevent disease, death, and even gives children the time to go to school instead of traveling miles each day to get water for their families. One dollar to help with all that? That's what I'd call bang for your buck!

A woman who failed to appear in court on federal charges in Kansas City 18 years ago was found living on a houseboat in Key West using another name, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
Michelle Singleton, 66, was arrested Friday. She failed to appear in federal court for sentencing on charges of payroll check fraud in March 1996 and a federal warrant was issued for her arrest.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Becky Herrin said the U.S. Secret Service recently received information that Singleton might be living in Key West under the assumed name of Catherine Harris.
A comparison of Singleton's picture with the expired Florida driver's license photo issued to Harris confirmed she was the same woman, Herrin said.
Singleton was on the houseboat when Monroe County sheriff's detectives and a federal agent from the Kansas City office showed up, Herrin said.
As Singleton was gathering her identification, some pieces of paper fell out of a file she was carrying, Herrin said. Those pieces of paper turned out to be Singleton's Social Security card and birth certificate, Herrin said.
Singleton admitted to obtaining a fraudulent birth certificate that she used to obtain a Florida driver's license a month after fleeing from Kansas City, Herrin said.
She did not renew her license because the rules had changed and she didn't have the proper identification, Herrin said Singleton told detectives.
Singleton also told detectives she was in the process of trying to sell her houseboat and move to the Dominican Republic, Herrin said.

Emerging technologies for 4G LTE networks are expected to make rapid advances over the next few years, helping mobile networks keep up with data growth and bringing more users worldwide into the LTE fold.
AT&T plans to acquire Leap Wireless, operator of the Cricket prepaid mobile service, in what would be the latest consolidation of the U.S. mobile industry.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

See that chick? 'Couldn't pull off that Natalie Dormer haircut if her life depended on it.
Great rack, though.

If she's not showing off those tits, I ain't interested.
Better marry an top tier athlete before you pork up too much, Kate. You have an 18 month window, tops.
She may not be technically categorized as such, but she's a plus sized model.
Skinny-fat exhibit A.
Fuck it, I'm just going to wrap myself in this blanket and not even get dressed today.
I dont get why all the fuzz about her. Cute girl, but not crazy hot.
It's her huge tits.
…the long & the short of it is; without photoshop, kate upton is that hot chick you see every day because she works in the same building as you and you wanna bang her SO bad …she and kelly brook are only "doughy" or "plain" by fashion model standards, which is a bullshit standard and moot, because they're cheesecake/glamour models, and they're both smokin' hot by 'real world' standards …so, that's her appeal, she seems "get-able" …and all of these feces throwing monkeys know damn well they'd be giddy as a schoolgirl to have her on his arm.
Well said, Johnny.
Nothing says hot like trucker arms and a blanket for a dress.
She'll be fine until her metabolism kicks in around 25,
and she starts gaining serous weight. Hurry boys…
If a person steps out onto the streets directly after taking a shower, they're normally considered crazy. Just saying.
It's like if January Jones ate food. Or could feel human emotion. Or, y'know, boobs…
She's lost it. She's over. Who's next?

Best of 2014: Photographing the Rise of Hip HopPhotography // Thursday, December 18, 2014
Growing up in the 80's and 90's, Bronx native Lisa Leone was surrounded by the up and coming hip hop community. With her passion for photography, Leone began photographing everything. Little did she know that she was capturing some of the most iconic figures in the world of hip-hop at the inception of their careers. From Grandmaster Flash to Nas, Leone's images display a raw candidness that is often lost in studio photoshoots.

Re: Where to stay?
Hi there, Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai are amazing dive sites, all of an international standard. If you have time you should explore all three otherwise skip Mabul. If you choose to dive in Sipadan alone, you should just stay on the island as the drop off point for diving is right at your doorstep. Sure enough the huts are not as nice as the ones in Kapalai (luxurious cottages), but then you are there really more for diving as opposed to the accommodation. If you must, spend no more than a night each in Kapalai and Mabul for the experience. You'll be marveled by the array of sea creatures you'll see on your dive trip, enjoy!

Re: Where to stay?
Kapalai is between Sipadan and Mabul and it is easy to reach both islands, If you stay on sipadan we noticed it was bad for flies and some mossies and the guys we spoke to there had anly dived sipadan and one visit to kapalai and had been there for a week! no-one had been offered dives on mabul., the resorts there were not of the same standard as Kapalai, if you stay at Kapalai most of your dives will be there unless you let them know the day before and then they will take you diving where you request, mabul is 10 mins from kapalai, sipadan is about 20 mins.
