Great looking jacket...looks exactly as pictured on site. Good fur quality and well constructed. No detectable flaws. Woven product is nice for light weather and there is fur on outside and inside of the jacket. Air will get through weave and jacket may not work for very cold weather. Would recommend and use this site again.

2015 Indianapolis Race Round Up, Part 2: Moto2 Madness, And Moto3 Development Programs Rewarded
This is part two of our Indy round up, covering the excellent Moto2 race, and the intriguing Moto3 race. If you want to read about MotoGP, see part one.
The Moto2 race turned out to be a barnstormer, a welcome return for the class. Once, Moto2 was the best race of the weekend, but in the past couple of years, it has become processional, and turned into dead air between the visceral thrills of Moto3 and the tripwire tension of MotoGP. At Indy, Johann Zarco, Alex Rins, Franco Morbidelli, Dominique Aegerter and Tito Rabat battled all race long for supremacy. They were joined at the start of the race by a brace of Malaysians, Hafizh Syahrin running at the front while Azlan Shah fought a close battle behind. Sam Lowes held on in the first half of the race, but as he started to catch the leaders in the last few laps, he ended up crashing out.
In the end, it was Alex Rins who took victory, just rewards for the man who had been the best of the field all weekend. It was Rins' first victory in Moto2, and confirmation of his status as an exceptional young talent. MotoGP factories are showing a lot of interest in Rins, but having learned his lesson with Maverick Viñales, who left after just one year, Sito Pons has Rins tied down to a two-year deal. Will Rins be a comparable talent to Viñales? Many believe he will.
Rins wasn't the only young rider to make an impression. After crashing out trying to get on the podium at the Sachsenring, Franco Morbidelli finally succeeded at Indianapolis. The 21-year-old Italian made the transition from Superstock successfully, and is part of a growing revival of Italian motorcycle racing. He will hope that his first podium marks the step to being a permanent fixture at the front.
2015 Indianapolis Race Round Up, Part 1: Marquez Vs Lorenzo, Rossi Vs Pedrosa, And Why Ducati Is Going Backwards
Whether this is the last time MotoGP visits Indianapolis or not – the lack of an announcement on Sunday night suggests that this was the last time – the 2015 edition will certainly go down in history as memorable. Race day saw the biggest crowd since 2009 head to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, though in a facility this vast, anything less than a quarter of a million fans is going to look empty, and all 67,000 were treated to some genuine racing spectacle. An upside down Moto3 race, where those bold enough to gamble on slicks were duly rewarded; an old-fashioned Moto2 dogfight, where a group of evenly matched riders brawled from start to finish; and a pair of exceptionally tense duels in MotoGP, with championship positions raising the stakes even further.
The race of the day? Hard to say. All three had their own appeal. Rain and a drying track made Moto3 a weird contest, with massive gaps between the leaders, and yet still strangely exciting, because of the potential effects on the championship. Moto2 harked back to the halcyon days of Márquez, Iannone, and Espargaro, and reminded us of why we used to love the class. And MotoGP was more about tension than straight up excitement, brains kept busy calculating the ramifications for the championship as the front four swapped positions.
2015 Indianapolis MotoGP Saturday Round Up: Marquez' Return, Lorenzo's Standstill, Rossi's Qualifying, And Moto3 Money Troubles
After practice on Friday, it looked like the MotoGP race at Indianapolis was going to a knock-down, drag-out battle between Marc Márquez and Jorge Lorenzo, both men very evenly matched. A day later, and it looks like the battle could be much bigger than that, with Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi on the same pace, and maybe even Pol Espargaro, Bradley Smith, and if things go right for him, Aleix Espargaro involved in the fight. Unfortunately for the fans, the battle will be for second, as one man has moved the game on. Marc Márquez' reign in the USA is looking increasingly secure.
The Repsol Honda rider upped his game on Saturday, topping both free practice sessions comfortably, his pace in FP4 particularly fearsome. He finished FP4 over six tenths ahead of Jorge Lorenzo, setting his fast lap on old tires, in full race trim, on the second lap of a long run. His pace was solid, all mid to high 1'32s, where Lorenzo was cranking out low 1'33s. He then followed it up in qualifying with a display of supremacy which belied the ease with which he took pole. After going out and setting the pole lap on his first flying lap, he returned to the garage where he sat calmly for five minutes, unperturbed by the happenings on the track. He returned for another try, even though it was not needed, and set another lap faster than any other rider would manage.
In the press conference, Márquez explained that he was once again comfortable on the bike, and that his team had found another step forward. The language he used to describe his situation was both modest and inaccurate. "Yesterday, I saw that Jorge was really strong," he said, "but today we got closer and we had a similar pace." In truth, Márquez and Lorenzo had similar pace on Friday. On Saturday, Márquez was head and shoulders above the rest.
2015 Indianapolis MotoGP Friday Notes - Marquez vs Lorenzo, The Mystery Of Tires, And Weird Silly Season Rumors
Every race track has something special, but each is special in a different way. There are the tracks which are notable for the speed, such as Mugello, Termas de Rio Hondo, or Phillip Island. There are tracks which have a spectacular setting, such as Phillip Island, Mugello, or Aragon. There are tracks which are notable for their layout, either fast and flowing like Assen or Brno, or tight and treacherous such as the Sachsenring. And then there are tracks which are so unlike anywhere else that motorcycle racing goes to that they have a character all of their own. Like Indianapolis.
What makes Indy such a unique challenge? "The special thing about this track is that during the weekend, the grip is improving a lot, so this is one point you must understand during the weekend how the grip improves," Marc Márquez said. Understanding this, that the track you roll out onto on Friday morning bears no relation to the track you will be racing on come Sunday, presents a very specific challenge. It rewards riders and teams who understand how a track matures and changes, can anticipate what is coming without getting ahead of themselves and paying the price for overestimating the available grip. A number of riders did that on Friday morning, especially in Moto3. Getting it wrong in the afternoon was worse, as Pol Espargaro demonstrated by opening the gas just a little more than the tire could cope with, and finding himself being spat off his Monster Tech 3 Yamaha and onto the hard, unforgiving tarmac. The fault was all his, Espargaro said.
Before the track was resurfaced, he would have had something else to blame, but the changes mean that the tarmac is much more predictable, with a single type of asphalt all around the infield. "Consistent" was the word used over and over again by rider after rider when asked to describe grip levels. They meant around the track, rather than all day, however. Because the road course at IMS sees so little use, it is dusty and green when MotoGP rolls into town, needing sweeping and some rubber laid down on it. That takes the best part of the first day, with the added complication of drastically rising temperatures from morning to afternoon.
2015 Indianapolis MotoGP Thursday Notes: Improved Hondas, Favored Yamahas, And The Silly Season That Wasn't
The summer break ended fittingly, in a downpour. Rain engulfed the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the riders gathered for the start of the second half of the season, but it failed to dampen their spirits. Most of them were raring to go, having had three weekends away from racing. The only exceptions were the men who raced the Suzuka 8 Hour race, Pol Espargaro telling reporters he was 'a little tired' after missing out on some much needed downtime. As for the rest? "Looking forward to getting back to riding," was how Cal Crutchlow summed up the general feeling in the paddock. Fortunately for all concerned, Thursday's rain is likely to be the last for a few days. The MotoGP weekend should take place under clear skies and with good weather.
Perhaps most eager of all was Marc Márquez. He would have been happy to have skipped the summer break altogether, it coming just as he and his team had made a big step forward with the Honda RC213V. After struggling, then crashing out two races in a row, Márquez finished second at Assen, then dominated at the Sachsenring, and felt he was finding his feet. The most important thing, he told the press conference, was that he was enjoying riding the bike again, something which he hadn't done for a long while. "I didn't have this from Valencia and Sepang in the preseason," Márquez said.
The reigning world champion is currently undefeated in the USA on a MotoGP bike. Since his debut, he has won three times at Austin and twice at Indianapolis. Why does he do so well here? "They are left hand tracks, which helps me, because I train a lot on dirt track." Márquez spends a lot of his time racing on dirt ovals at his home near Cervera, and at some of the other dirt tracks which are sprouting like mushrooms across northern Spain. He expressed his fondness for the layout of Indianapolis too, calling it 'different', and rather unique among racetracks. It lost some of that uniqueness when it was changed last year, Márquez preferring the old layout. Perhaps his view is colored by the fact that the change made the track a little more flowing, making it better for the Yamahas.
2015 Indianapolis MotoGP Preview - Will The Last Time At The Brickyard Be The Best?
Depending on who you ask, MotoGP's summer break is either too short, or too long. For the fans, three full weekends without MotoGP is a painfully long time, though both World Superbikes and BSB have done a pretty good job of making MotoGP's absence much more bearable. For the teams, riders and staff, the four weeks between the Sachsenring and Indianapolis pass in an instant, seeming way too short to qualify as a break.
In between PR appearances and negotiations for 2016, riders are lucky to grab five days R&R before getting back to training for the remainder of the season. Team staff, on the other hand, spend their time catching up with all of the stuff they didn't get done in the first half of the season, and trying to get a head start on the second half. What were supposed to be 23 days away from it all get eaten up by a myriad of minor tasks that had been neglected, and before they know it, they are on a plane again and heading for the next race. Not that they mind: for 99% of the people involved in MotoGP, they are driven by a passion for racing, and being at a race track is their idea of heaven. That is why they are paid so poorly, and what makes the paddock such an inspirational place to be.
Indianapolis is a pretty good place to get back to racing, too. Downtown has a real motorcycle buzz, with bike-related activities going on throughout the weekend. Indianapolis Motor Speedway remains one of the most special motorsports facilities in the world, drenched in legend and racing history. Getting in and out of the circuit is a breeze, in contrast with other races, meaning you don't have to get up at insane o'clock if you want to get to the track in time for the start of morning warm up.
It has its downsides too: in a facility is gargantuan as IMS, the crowd of 60,000 or so MotoGP fans just rattle around the place. The layout of the track, housed in the circuit's infield, is limited by the exigencies of its location. The changes made for 2014 were a major improvement on the previous road course, making it a lot more flowing than it was, but it remains flat, with corners that have been designed rather than evolved. This year, it also lost the link with the Indy Mile, at the Indiana State Fairground, the legendary flat track race being held a month earlier.
The Men Who Would Be Champion: Who Will Take The 2015 MotoGP Title?
With just days to go until MotoGP hits the second half of the season, now is a good time to start asking the question who is in the hot seat for the 2015 MotoGP championship. Valentino Rossi leads the title chase by 13 points, but his lead is due more to his terrifying consistency than racking up win after win. Jorge Lorenzo had a seemingly invincible run from Jerez to Barcelona, but has also finished well off the podium. Andrea Iannone has been brilliantly consistent, but has not looked capable of winning, which is a prerequisite for a MotoGP title. Marc Márquez struggled in the first part of the season, but a new swing arm and a return to the 2014 chassis has taken the edge off the worst characteristics of the RC213V. Dani Pedrosa, meanwhile, missed too much of the first part of the season to be a factor.
Will Valentino Rossi pull off his his eighth MotoGP title, and his tenth title overall? Will Jorge Lorenzo become the first Spaniard to win three MotoGP titles? Or will Marc Márquez pull a rabbit out of the hat and take his third championship in a row? Let us run through the options and weigh the probabilities.
Deciphering The Inscrutable - MotoGP Silly Season Review, Part 2
This is the second part of our silly season overview. Before starting on this part, make sure you have read the first part of the review, published yesterday.
If Jack Miller is parachuted into Aspar, the second seat in the team is up for grabs. Though Dorna are keen to have an American in MotoGP, it is widely believed that Nicky Hayden's days are numbered. Despite his denials, there are question marks over Hayden's wrist, and he has not been as competitive on the Open Honda as he had hoped. Hayden was at the last round of World Superbikes at Laguna Seca a couple of weeks ago, where he was seen talking to a lot of teams. There is a lot of speculation Hayden could end up on an Aprilia in World Superbikes next season, the American already having visited the factory's Noale HQ in 2013, before he left Ducati to sign for Aspar.
Could Hayden take the second Aprilia seat in MotoGP? This seems extremely unlikely. The factory already has an experienced development rider in Alvaro Bautista, and is really looking for someone faster and younger to lead the challenge. One name being bandied about is Stefan Bradl, the German being a particularly attractive prospect for the Italian factory. With Melandri having abandoned the Gresini Aprilia team, the second seat in the team is being filled by Michael Laverty. A sensible choice under the circumstances: Laverty is already Aprilia's official test rider, and the RS-GP is still very much a test bed for collecting data, to be used to build the 2016 bike, which will be a full prototype built from scratch. The downside to having Laverty is that he is also racing in BSB for the Tyco BMW team. The two calendars clash only once, when MotoGP goes to Phillip Island, and BSB is at Brands Hatch, so Laverty is able to fill in on a race-by-race basis.
However, with Bradl having announced that he has rescinded his contract with Forward Racing, due to the fact that they cannot guarantee him a ride for the rest of the season, Bradl becomes a more appealing option for Aprilia. The German could start racing almost immediately – a start at Indianapolis is probably too early, with the Brno test a more likely date – and could fill in until the end of the season. Bradl is still relatively young – he will be 26 in November – a former Moto2 world champion, and highly motivated. Signing Bradl to what is effectively an 18-month contract could be a smart move for Aprilia, as they would get someone young, fast, and able to help develop their new 2016 bike. If Bradl is fast in 2016, Aprilia could keep him for the future, if he isn't, he can keep working on improving the bike for 2017, and his successor.
Deciphering The Inscrutable - MotoGP Silly Season Review, Part 1
If you think that silly season has been a bit quiet this year, you'd be right. Normally by now, we would have passed through the stage of outrageous fabrication, left the wildly inaccurate rumors behind us, and be well into probable rider signing scenarios. This year, the annual merry-go-round has barely registered, with very little sign of who may end up where for the 2016 season.
Of course, for the most part, this is because all of the factory seats bar the second slots at Aprilia and Ducati are already spoken for in 2016. Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Márquez, Dani Pedrosa, Andrea Dovizioso, Aleix Espargaro, and Alvaro Bautista all have contracts for next year. Maverick Viñales' seat at Suzuki is safe through 2017. Of the currently active factory riders, only Andrea Iannone's contract could be ended after 2015, but Ducati will be keeping the Italian for 2016 as well. The only truly vacant seat is the one at Aprilia vacated by Marco Melandri, who never really wanted to be in MotoGP anyway.
With no factory seats available – or rather, with no truly desirable factory seats available – options to move up the MotoGP food chain are limited. Teams, too, are reluctant. 2016 sees the return of Michelin and the advent of spec software, making teams wary of changing too many variables at one time. Better to stick with the rider you know, whose data you already have and understand, and who has a solid relationship with the crew chief and team, rather than get a new rider in and spend a lot of time and effort trying to figure out whether problems are down to the rider or adapting the bike to the new technical regulations.
2015 Sachsenring MotoGP Sunday Round Up: Hondas, Championships, And The Halfway Mark
Nine races down, nine to go. The Sachsenring marks the mid-point of the season, and in all three Grand Prix classes the outlines of the championship are becoming clear. In Moto2 and Moto3, there is one rider who can dominate, winning often, taking a hefty points haul when he can't, and having luck work in their favor and against their opponents. In MotoGP, the title looks to be settled between the Movistar Yamaha teammates, with the Repsol Hondas playing a decisive role.
The three races in Germany all played out following the broader patterns of their respective championships. In the Moto3 race, Danny Kent steamrollered his way to victory, his teammate Efren Vazquez helping him to extend his lead in the championship to 66 points by taking second ahead of Enea Bastianini. In Moto2, Johann Zarco narrowly missed out on victory, the win going to Xavier Simeon. The Belgian plays no role in the championship, while Zarco's nearest rival Tito Rabat was taken out by Franco Morbidelli in the final corner. Rabat's crash means Zarco now leads Moto2 by 65 points. Both Kent and Zarco can start to pencil their names in for the respective championships, their leads starting to edge towards the unassailable.
In MotoGP, the title chase is still wide open, with both Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo easily capable of winning. The championship started strongly in Rossi's favor, then the momentum swung towards Lorenzo, before creeping back towards Rossi in the last two races. At Assen, Rossi put a big chunk of points between himself and his teammate. In Germany, the Repsol Honda men played more of a role in the championship than the two Yamaha riders, limiting Rossi's points gain to just three. He now sits thirteen points ahead of Lorenzo, with everything still to play for, and neither man capable of dealing a decisive blow.

Where the lights are bright as the stars!
Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through town
In one of those new horsedrawn open cars!
We'll see the shows at Delmonicos
And we'll close the town in a whirl!
And we won't come until we've kissed a girl!
i was getting a steampunk vibe from them.
awesome job

This reminds me of Bioshock Infinite for some reason...
This is one of the many reasons I like this community. Who needs to wait for the episode to finish in order to start drawing?
I think we witnessed the beginning of the industrial revolution in Equestria in this episode.
Nice, you have made a really high detailed picture in no time at all, good show. The Flim Flam brothers have to be my favorite protagonist so far I just hope they get another appearance so their characters can be fleshed out more.
Well done art done in so little time.
It's as if they have all their drawing materials set and ready for the second a new character comes out

Well, it's official; we're entitled to one Flapjack flashback per season.
~Ohhhhhhh, tryin' ta be friends
But people are jerks,
So I'm gonna put some fleas on you
An' the fleas'll have the plague
An' they'll make you cough a lot,
And then you'll be too sick to hurt my feelings anymore~

lets be honest here......
is any1 else "bouncing" to that song still aside from me??????
is any1 else "bouncing" to that song still aside from me??????
Did anyone else think of Phineas & Ferb while seeing these two sing? That's who they reminded me of with the machine & the song number anyway.
I always felt the other one should have some form of facial hair but the mustache does make him look like the older brother and oh my god my head is dreaming up a fanfic of the younger one dating applejack.
That song was awesome
I bet their cider tasted awful.
Nope, the first one was actually good. Grannie Smith who said Sweet Apple Acres's cider was the best even shown that "Oh my god it's tasty" look
I guess you're right then, I wanted to try it so bad. What do you think it taste like. And not just plain ordinary cider, they made it special and it's from somewhere else that cider is made. The cider cannot be compared to their cider, because their's is better and ours taste like crud.
Szybko, pięknie i czarująco! Oby tak dalej ;o
Szybko, pięknie i czarująco! Oby tak dalej ;o
Looks like Flim Flam's invention was a flip flop.
may I use this as the image for a remix I'm doing of their song, like on a youtube video?

- The government's HealthCare.gov Web site for Obamacare was failing to accurately transmit around 10% of applications to insurers - as of Friday - although that represents a vast improvement on the error rate in October.
- Still, up to 25% of the enrollment records for people who bought coverage in October and November could contain mistakes, raising doubts about whether those customers would be insured if the policies take effect from January 1, as scheduled.
- Meanwhile, insurers are working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on a short-term back-up system that will enable the government to pay the firms for the income-based subsidies that many consumers qualify for under Obamacare.

Dec. 2, 2013, 3:18 AM
- The White House said yesterday that it has achieved its target of improving the HealthCare.gov Web site so that it works "smoothly for the vast majority of users."
- Officially, the portal is now operating over 90% of the time vs 40% at some points in October, the loading time is much faster, the error rate has dropped to 0.75% from 6%, and the site can handle 50,000 users at the same time.
- However, the latter claim hasn't been tested in the real world, and some in the government reportedly aren't certain the site will hold up.
- The back-end systems continue to be a problem, with one result being that while some consumers believe they've bought coverage from insurers, the latter don't have any records of the transactions. One detail that the government didn't provide was how many people are completing all the enrollment steps.
- The next deadline is the middle of this month, by which time consumers need to have signed up for coverage that starts on January 1.

Nov. 29, 2013, 5:21 AM
- Tomorrow is the White House's self-imposed deadline for the federal HealthCare.gov Web site to be working properly for 80% of users.
- However, "navigators" whose job it is to help people sign up say that problems persist. It's "kind of hit and miss," says one, although "there have definitely been more hits lately than in the past." The COO of Enroll Alaska rates the site 4/10.
- Molina Healthcare (MOH) has expressed its support. "It is easier to navigate. It's working better. It's faster," Molina said.
- More problems for the portal could lead to millions of Americans to decide to forego buying coverage and swallow the fine instead.
- The participation of the young and healthy is particularly important to the success of the insurance exchanges.
- Should the problems continue, the government might come under pressure to extend the March 31 deadline for open enrollment, a move that insurers have warned could undermine the market.

- President Barack Obama might have said that consumers will be allowed to keep canceled health-insurance policies for one more year, but at least five states - including New York and Washington - won't let such plans be reinstated, as they believe it would harm their exchanges.
- Many carriers are also not allowing their customers to extend their old policies, due to time constraints and other obstacles. And those firms that may reverse the cancellations have said that premiums could rise.
- Of the major players, Cigna (CI) could reinstate policies, while WellPoint (WLP) is analyzing the situation.

Nov. 14, 2013, 7:25 PM
- Pres. Obama's administrative fix for health insurance cancellations may sound simple - allow insurers to extend their plans for another year - but it's anything but easy.
- "Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums for consumers," says the head of the top insurer trade group. "Premiums have already been set for next year based on an assumption of when consumers will be transitioning to the new marketplace."
- "The logistics of doing it with just a few days left in the policy year are extremely difficult," says a former CEO of Oklahoma's largest health system. The fix "shifts the blame and makes [the insurance companies] the culprits."
- Aetna (AET) says it will need close cooperation from state insurance regulators to implement the fix.
- Beyond the administrative burden, Citi analyst Carl McDonald says the change presents a risk of building a less healthy and less profitable pool of insurance buyers; the potential deterioration of the exchange market will pose a risk for WellPoint (WLP), Humana (HUM) and Health Net (HNT), which pursued aggressive exchange strategies for 2014.

Nov. 12, 2013, 4:46 AM
- Fewer than 50,000 people had managed to enroll in private insurance plans via the government's problem-plagued HealthCare.gov Web site as of last week. The number represents less than 10% of the 500,000 people that had been projected.
- Twelve of the 14 states that are operating their own exchanges have signed up 49,000. The total is therefore also well below the initial target, which was 800,000. The Congressional Budget Office's prediction of 7M enrollments by March seems like a distant dream.
- Major health insurers are so concerned that they want to be allowed to sign up those who are entitled to subsidies directly rather than via the federal system. However, the administration isn't keen, due to privacy concerns.
- Insurers: Aetna (AET), WellPoint (WLP), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), Humana (HUM), Cigna (CI), Molina Healthcare (MOH).

- The mutual fund giant greatly boosts its ETF presence, rolling out 10 sector ETFs on Thursday, with BlackRock (BLK) - whose iShares has its own suite of sector ETFs - as the funds' sub-advisor. State Street (STT), though, is better-known for its sector offerings. Launching on Thursday - and popular existing State Street SPDR ETFs they'll be competing with:

- Health-insurance exchanges have reportedly received 476,000 applications for coverage, White House officials have said, although they wouldn't say how many people have received coverage.
- It's not certain whether the Obamacare program is on course to enroll 7M people within the six-month sign-up period, as projected by the Congressional Budget Office
- The Web sites of the exchanges have been hit with numerous technical problems that have prevented people from buying coverage and caused health insurers to receive inaccurate information.
- ETFs: XLV, XHE, VHT, FXH, IHF, IHI, IYH, PTH, RYH, PSCH, RXL, RXD, XHS.
Oct. 18, 2013, 4:36 AM
- The technology problems afflicting the roll-out of health-insurance exchanges seem to be even worse than thought, with insurers saying that the marketplaces are generating incorrect information.
- "Errors include duplicate enrollments, spouses reported as children, missing data fields and suspect eligibility determinations," the WSJ writes.
- The problems are damaging the ability of insurers to process even the small numbers of people who have signed up. "The longer this takes to resolve...the harder it will be to get people to (come back and) sign up," said Aetna (AET) CEO Mark Bertolini.
- Other firms that could be affected include UnitedHealth (UNH), WellPoint (WLP), Humana (HUM) and Molina Healthcare (MOH).
- The IT contractors involved include IBM (IBM), Infosys (INFY) and CGI Group (GIB).

- It's a good year for large-cap core mutual funds, with 46% beating the S&P 500 vs. a 10-year average of just 36%, according to Goldman Sachs.
- The study finds most are overweight health care (XLV), which not coincidentally happens to be the best-performing sector this year, up 30%.
- The funds are most underweight utilities (XLU), which just happen to be the second worst-performing sector YTD, up 10%. Only telecoms have done worse.
- Chasing performance? May be, but the team finds the funds have tended to be present in the good performers for the last 12 months, and have retreated from discretionary stocks (XLY) of late despite their outperformance.
- Individual names? CVS Caremark (CVS), JPMorgan (JPM), and Cisco (CSCO) are the stocks liked the most vs. the benchmark.

- California Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed a bill that would have limited the use of biosimilar pharmaceuticals in the state.
- Brown explained that the legislation was premature, as the FDA hasn't yet set the rules governing such drugs.
- Biosimilars are the copycat versions of biotech drugs - also known as biologics - which are complex proteins developed in living cells. Biosimilars are not called generics, as it's difficult to prove that they're exactly the same as the biologic original.
- The campaign to limit the use of biosimilars has been led by Amgen (AMGN) and Genentech (RHHBY.OB); so far, 10 states have blocked such efforts this year, including Illinois and Texas.
- Companies developing biosimilars include Hospira (HSP), Novartis (NVS), Momenta Pharmaceuticals (MNTA), Baxter (BAX) and Teva (TEVA).

- Millions of people visited the Web sites of health-insurance exchanges yesterday on their first day of operations, although, as expected, many of the sites were beset by technical glitches.
- It's unclear how much of the traffic translated into sales - Connecticut's site received 28,000 hits as of 4 pm but only 167 people had applied to buy insurance.
- The exchanges have been created as a key part of Obamacare.
- Health insurers that are selling plans on exchanges include UnitedHealth (UNH), Aetna (AET), WellPoint (WLP), Health Net (HNT) and Humana (HUM). Molina Healthcare (MOH) is also playing a role.

- While the health exchanges that are a key part of Obamacare are due to open for business on Tuesday, some states won't be able to offer full functionality at first because of IT problems.
- The states include New York, Oregon and Colorado, as well as the District of Columbia.
- In addition, the Obamacare Spanish-language Internet site won't be ready, while small businesses and their staff won't be able to sign up for weeks.
- The contractors involved include IBM (IBM) and Infosys (INFY)

- The average cost of a mid-tier health insurance plan under Obamacare is $328 a month, price data from the government showed yesterday, just a week before enrollment in the healthcare overhaul is due to begin on October 1.
- As you'd expect, prices were cheaper in the states with more competition.
- The Obama administration hopes to sign up 7M consumers in the first year, with 2.7M young and healthy Americans set to pay for those who are older and sicker. The average premium for a 27-year-old nonsmoker will range from $163-$240 a month.
- Health insurers that intend to sell plans on some exchanges include UnitedHealth (UNH), Aetna (AET), WellPoint (WLP) and Humana (HUM). Molina Healthcare (MOH) is also set to play a role.

Thank you for visiting my webpage!
I am a PhD candidate in the Evaluation Sciences and Statistics track of the Harvard PhD Program in Health Policy. My research interests (and dissertation papers) are on the prevention of unintentional injuries resulting from transportation collisions and drug overdoses.
Prior to entering the PhD Program, I was the Injury Prevention Director for the San Francisco Injury Center (SFIC) at the University of California, San Francisco where I conducted research on transportation-related injuries. In 2011, I joined the research team at the Harvard Injury Control and Research Center at Harvard School of Public Health. I earned a BA in Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley and later acquired dual Master's degrees in Public Health and Nursing from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Between graduate programs, I worked as a full-time research assistant various departments at UCLA, including Psychiatry, Nursing, and Psychology. I also planned, developed, and implemented the Patient Education Resource Center at the West Los Angeles Veterans Administration Hospital. Please click on the "Bio" tab to view my resume.
I was born in Mexico City and moved to the United States at the age of 7. I grew up in Long Beach, California and attended inner-city schools that focused on empowering underserved students to enter careers in theater, film, and television. Rather than pursuing a career in the arts, I chose academia because of my interest in human behavior and science. As I got older and as I explored the wide range of opportunities given to me at the University of California, the VA, and now Harvard, I realized that my true calling was public service. The feeling of making even a tiny impact on the policies that provide a health and safety benefit to the masses is...bliss. What an amazing thing it is to have the chance to do something positive for society. My two incredible working class parents left their countries and sacrificed a lot to ensure that I could dream. And here I am - at Harvard. I sincerely never thought I would find myself here. I look forward to doing great things for society.
No matter where life takes me, I will always be a public servant (and a rocker! I just won't wear the leopard flats to work!)
After I complete my PhD, I am aiming for an executive-level position in a local, state, or federal government agency. I am also looking forward to being a mom one day and maybe even mastering the drums several decades from now.

I am trying to get my navbar with bootstrap to appear after a certain div, called "A". Div "a" is at the top of by page, and has a height of around 400px. Once the user scrolls past the div "a" and the scrollbar, I want the scroll bar to stick to the top. Similar to something like this: https://www.facebook.com/home but I don't have a video at the top, it is an image.
Can we do that we bootstrap itself?

Flag Day
Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. John Adams introduced the following resolution before the Continental Congress, meeting at Philadelphia, PA: "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States shall have thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation."
In 1914, President Woodrow Wison declared June 14 "Flag Day." In 1949 Congress passed legislation asking President Harry S. Truman to issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of the hoilday.
The week of June 14 is designated as "National Flag Week." During National Flag Week, the president will issue a proclamation urging all U.S. citizens to fly the American flag for the duration of that week. The flag should also be displayed on all government buildings.
At The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast, in Lynchburg, VA, we fly two flags from our front porch. One is the flag of fifty stars and stripes. The other is a flag of thirty-eight stars and stripes, representing the states of the union in 1878 when our house was completed. The Watts family would have flown such a flag.
Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, although many towns and cities throughout the United States celebrate this day with parades, speeches and other forms of patriotic expression. Perhaps the oldest continuing Flag Day parade is at Fairfield, Washington. Beginning in 1909 or 1910, Fairfield has held a parade every year since, with the possible exception of 1918, and celebrated the "Centennial" parade in 2010.
We look forward to observing flags being flown throughout Lynchburg and Central Virginia.
In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson dubbed June 14 "Flag Day." In 1949 Congress passed legislation asking the president to issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of the holiday.
Soap Box Derby 2012
On Saturday, June 2nd, the Hill City Classic Derby took place at Falwell Aviation. 22 drivers competed in the double elimination competition, ten in stock and 12 in superstock. The double elimination format meant that some of the drivers raced down the hill as many as six times.
Since there aren't any engines in soapbox derby the difference between stock and uper stock is the size of the driver. Stock cars accommodate drivers in the 10-13 age range. In superstock the cockpit is larger to accommodate drivers aged 13-17.
The drivers must make their cars, using a hard plastic kit that weighs about 60 pounds. According to two of the drivers, the hardest part of building the car is getting the steering cables installed correctly. Most of the drivers had assistance from a helpful adult.
In the 1950's and 60's the Derby was a fixture in downtown Lynchburg, the course taking advantage of various hilly streets. This year, Falwell Aviation was chosen as the sight of the derby due to the layout of the land and the slope of the runway. Without an engine, gravity plays a vital role in the running of the race. The track was about 100 yards (the length of a football field) and the drivers reached a speed in excess of 30 miles per hour.
The stock and superstock winners, Fulton Fitzgerald and Nathan Hansen, respectively, will travel to Akron, Ohio to compete in the National Soap Box Derby on July 21st. The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast wishes the best of luck to Lynchburg's representatives!
The derby was such a success the organizers plan to offer the event again next year.
Celebrating Memorial Day
Once a year we celebrate Memorial Day. To some it represents a three day weekend, to others it means sales at the store and to others it represents the unofficial start of summer. To the vast majority of Americans it is a time to reflect on who we are as Americans. Our way of life, the freedoms we enjoy, the opportunities each of us has wouldn't be possible if it weren't for those brave men and women who put themselves in harm's way to protect us and our way of life. Freedom isn't free and our cemeteries are full of the graves of those who gave their lives to protect us. Many of us took the time this weekend to place flowers or flags on the headstones of our fallen heroes. In Lynchburg, there was a service on Sunday in the Confederate section of the cemetery and afterwards flowers were placed on the graves of the soldiers.
Please don't wait until Veterans Day or next Memorial Day to thank a veteran as many of them need our help now. If you are an employer consider hiring a vet. If you know of a family that has someone serving overseas and you can help with their yard work, house cleaning or even babysitting. When you see a veteran thank them for their service. These little acts of kindness will go a long way and will be appreciated. Finally, if you are in downtown Lynchburg on Fridays from noon to 1:00 pm at the foot of Monument Terrace honk to show support of our troops or better yet, get out and talk to the veterans that gather each Friday.
We all have a lot to be thankful for so let's not forget to thank them more than once or twice a year.
Strawberry Soup
Strawberries are at their peak during the month of May. Our signature dish this month takes advantage of the fresh strawberry crops found near Lynchburg, VA. Several local farms have "pick your own" fields, which we have taken advantage of (just picking over 33 pounds!), in order to have fresh strawberries for this soup and to make strawberry jam. Visit with us during May, mention you read this blog post and you'll be treated to a jar of homemade strawberry jam to enjoy when you get home.
At The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast we serve this soup as our fruit course during breakfast. It would be equally good at lunch or as a dinner appetizer.
Here's the recipe for our soup: Process 3 cups of sliced fresh strawberries, 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Reisling, and 1/3 cup sugar in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, freshly ground pepper and sliced fresh strawberries. No matter what time of day you eat this soup, enjoy!
PS: if you don't want to "pick your own" strawberries visit the Lynchburg Community Market on either Wednesday or Saturday to buy fresh strawberries from one of the vendors.
Antique Rose Festival
On Saturday, May 12, 2012 the Old City Cemetery, in Lynchburg, VA, will be celebrating their 17th Annual Antique Rose Festival.
As the roses are just beginning their bloom cycle, a walk along the Old Brick Wall near the Confederate section, is a delightful way to experience some of the 270 varieties of roses found on the Cemetery grounds. Then walk the grounds to discover more varieties growing throughout the Cemetery.
The roses planted throughout the Cemetery are said to be the soul of the Cemetery grave garden. Originally planted on the graves of loved ones by family members, during the month of May they bloom for the benefit of all who visit.
Heirloom rose cuttings and bushes will be available for purchase between May 6-13, at the Cemetery Center. Choose one that may be sprawling or upright, sweetly perfumed or without any fragrance, with or without thorns, in a new color or to match what you may already have growing in your garden. There will be something for everyone.
In addition to the rose sale there will be a special, guided Mother's Day Rose Walk on Sunday the 13th, starting at 3:00pm. What a nice way to spend some time with your mother on a lovely spring day.
Come stay with us at The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast and you will be greeted with a rose upon your pillow.

Guor pointing to the flag of South Sudan Photo: Courtesy of Guor Marial
Guor Marial has no idea how many interviews he's done in the last two weeks, but he knows it's a lot. He is doing them to make sure people are familiar with his story and to raise awareness about his country, South Sudan. If you have not heard of him, Marial is the marathoner living in Flagstaff, Arizona who will run under the Olympic flag because South Sudan can not field a team.
According to numerous published reports, Marial spent his childhood running away from things. Sudanese soldiers fired guns and burnt his village in South Sudan many times, leading him to flee into the bush at night. Eventually, he moved in with his uncle in Khartoum, where Sudanese police broke into their apartment and broke his jaw with a rifle. Over the course of the country's civil war, Marial said 28 of his relatives were killed or died of sickness. Marial and his uncle fled to Egypt, and in 2001, landed in New Hampshire.
He tried out for the track team at Concord High and started running towards things. He won the New Hampshire state cross country championship, the two-mile race at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships in 2005, and earned a scholarship from Iowa State. In October of 2011, he ran the Twin Cities Marathon and finished under the Olympic qualifying time, clocking in at 2:14:32. He then improved his time (2:12:55) in the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon in June of this year. Unfortunately, his country, South Sudan, had no Olympic committee and thus, no representation in the Games. The IOC said he could run for Sudan. He said thank you, but no. A lawyer named Brad Poore took up his case, sent it to journalists, and put it in front of politicians. "A lot of this has to do with Brad Poore, who is special, for his commitment, for pitching my case in person, for taking on my case personally," says Marial. "My case is nothing without Brad Poore."
Guor and Brad Poore Photo: Courtesy of Guor Marial
Under pressure, the IOC changed their tune and invited Marial to run under the Olympic flag. He said yes. Then he said yes to countless interviews that had him recounting his past. All of that remembering has come at a cost, so he asked if we could switch up the conversation when I called. "I know what happened in the past, it's very important to tell people and for people to hear, but as I recover and tell people over and over and over again, it's creating a personal problem emotionally for me," he says. "So I think it would be a good idea to talk about sport, which is what I want to do, and what is motivating me, rather than the past."
At what point did you have the dream to run in the Olympics?
It was back in high school. I started to know that running is a sport, and not just something that people did to save their life, like I used to. That's when I started saying, OK. I watched the Olympics in 2004, and I watched the Boston Marathon in high school, and those brought me a different way of seeing running. Those moments just kind of created a dream state, that running is something that I want to do. I will continue the dream to try and run in the Olympics some day.
Then, when I went to college my freshman year, me and my freshman roommate wrote on a piece of paper and posted it on our wall. It said, we are going to go to the Olympics in 2012. We were basically just joking, and we just left it there, and you know, then I had it in the back in my mind that one day I wanted the opportunity.

The more I read Richard of St. Victor, the more I love him.

Richard of St. Victor on Contemplation
Before the Cloud of Unknowing…
Before the Cloud of Unknowing, Richard of St. Victor (who lived in the twelfth century, a contemporary of Hildegard of Bingen and Bernard of Clairvaux) wrote this lovely passage in his work called The Mystical Ark: When birds want to fly they spread out their wings. So, we surely ought to spread the wings of our heart by longing and wait for the time of divine showing at every house — nay, rather at every moment, so that at whatever hour the breath of divine inspiration drives away the clouds o … [Read more...]

Reba McEntire's parents tell childhood stories of the music superstar
Clark and Jackie McEntire, parents of singing star Reba McEntire, at their home near Stringtown (Photo by David McDaniel/The Oklahoman)
Reba McEntire, top, and her three siblings are featured in this old family photo.
The Oklahoman's award-winning columnist Bryan Painter recently visited McEntire Ranch in Chockie to chat with Clark and Jackie McEntire, parents of music superstar Reba McEntire.
The McEntires shared many wonderful stories about Reba's childhood, from her early encounter with U.S. Rep. Carl Albert to her learning to drive at age 5 so she could help her daddy feed cattle. The singer made her singing debut in first grade with a solo of "Away in the Manger" in a school Christmas play, they recalled.
When Reba and her three siblings were growing up, they were either helping on the ranch, playing outside or singing. Their mother said when she was young, singing together was how her family entertained themselves.
"At night we didn't have a radio or television or anything like that," Jackie told Bryan about her childhood. "So the whole family sang.
"The singing just passes down from generation to generation."
To read Bryan's fascinating column, click here. Reba fans should definitely consider it required reading.

PASADENA A year after leaving Berkeley with a shaming 33-point blowout that amounted to the most embarrassing loss of the Jim Mora era, UCLA chose the slow-and-painful approach for exacting its revenge at the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
The Bruins barely found any running room with Jordon James out — finishing with 75 rushing yards on 34 carries — struggled to finish many of its scoring opportunities and consistently came up short on third down.
But the UCLA defense suffocated Cal's overmatched offense and Bruins quarterback Brett Hundley delivered, throwing for a career-high 410 yards and three touchdowns in a redemptive 37-10 victory.
At the start, the Bruins looked as if they would steamroll Cal. They held the Bears to one first down in the first quarter — a feat that took Cal three drives and 10 minutes of game time to achieve.
The Bears had an anemic 6 rushing yards and 25 passing as UCLA's stout defense kept their pass-happy offense in neutral.
Meanwhile, Hundley and the offense seemed to strut up and down the field as the Bruins' sophomore quarterback started 11-of-12 passing for 150 yards and a touchdown.
But a flood of missed opportunities left plenty to be desired from UCLA's offense, even in victory.
A third-quarter interception from Randall Goforth gave UCLA the ball at the Cal 16. But the Bruins managed just a field goal even after a personal-foul penalty gave them first down at the 4.
One drive later, a 35-yard catch-and-run play from wideout Devin Fuller gave UCLA more great field possession with a first down at the 8. But the Bruins lost a yard on the next three plays and settled for another field goal to take a 30-10 lead.
