Last week's spike in the prices of the Philippine Stock Exchange [PSE], the publicly listed monopoly franchise that operates the domestic stock exchange and allied services, brought to light some of the ongoing developments of the world stock markets.
The PSE Makes A Big Move
First, I'll deal with the Philippine Stock Exchange.
The PSE flew on the account of the 1:1 stock dividend[1] which the company declared last week. (Disclosure: I have long been a shareholder of PSE)
The chart formations presage many bullish signs in the PSE price actions.
One, there is the bullish reverse head and shoulders pattern by the blue descending line which signify as the neckline. And secondly, an uptrend channel (marked by the green lines) over the past two years, signifying a mid term trend.
The recent breakout only highlights of the fulfilment to these patterns (of course subject to the buoyancy of the overall market sentiment)
In addition, the PSE reached over php 700 per share when the Phisix topped at 3,800 in 2007. Today, the Phisix trades at over 4,200.
Aside from being a monopoly, the kismet of PSE depends on the general actions of the Phisix and of the broader domestic market. Thus, higher Phisix should equally be reflected on the share values of the PSE.
So for me, the PSE functions like an index fund or the equivalent of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) representative of the Phisix. Thus, for as long as the Phisix is headed higher so should the PSE. It's almost like a no-brainer investment theme.
And that's the domestic perspective.
Mergers & Acquisition, Collaboration and IPOs
Next, I have written about the prospects of consolidation or integration of global stock markets.
In 2007 I wrote[2],
With the revolutionary advances in the field of communications and information technology-the advent of on-line electronic trading platforms makes it possible for real-time electronic transactions regardless of the geographical distance.
Grounded on this premise, the major exchanges appears to be in a rush to integrate financial services, to diversify and expand their market coverage, reduce transaction (bookkeeping, clearing and settlement) costs by achieving the economies of scale, to eliminate further inefficiencies by way of human intervention, provide for financial depth by attracting global investors (to augment the demand side), traders and listing companies (to increase supply side), to improve on liquidity by easily matching buyers and sellers, and finally, adapt to the ongoing changes in marketplace by being accessible to the growing significance of institutional investors [pension funds, hedge funds, mutual funds and insurance companies] as compared to retail investors in the past.
With the global trade and economic structure presently favoring Asia, as evidenced by its exploding foreign exchange reserves and rapidly rising per capita and middle class, its largely fragmented and underdeveloped financial markets makes it a potential ground for an explosive expansion.
Apparently events are validating my earlier observations anew as many stock markets around the world are in the process of consolidation.
One channel is by mergers & acquisitions.
Though much to my dismay, the Australian government recently blocked Singapore's Stock Exchange (SGX; SIN: S68) takeover bid of the Australia Stock Exchange (ASX:ASX) on absurd nationalist grounds[3].
If the objective is to reduce transaction costs, maximize on the economies of scale, expand market access and supply, and increase market efficiency by globalizing the channels of savings and investments then upholding "national interests" essentially defeats such ideals.
If the ASX rejects SGX out of financial or economic reasons, then there won't be any opposition from me, but for politicians to pretend to know better of the interests of the stockholders or of the nation represents repression.
Besides, despite the setback, there has been a raft of ongoing mergers in the pipeline.
There has been an ongoing deal for a merger of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) with Deutsche Börse of Germany, where U.S.-based Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. and IntercontinentalExchange Inc. have also been waiting on the wings and have been interested to buy into the NYSE[4].
In addition, the London Stock Exchange Group PLC's have also proposed a takeover of TMX Group Inc owner of Toronto Stock Exchange.
And as world markets continue to recover, we should expect mergers & acquisitions deals to pick up steam.
Chart from Allen & Overy[5]
And such deals will include stock market M & A.
Well the integration process doesn't stop with mergers.
Stock exchanges have also been rushing to push for alliances and collaboration.
One good example is the recent ASEAN deal which promotes the regional equity markets. The aim here is to provide link gateways to the region's exchanges[6] in line with plan to promote free capital movements within the region, or the 2015 ASEAN Economic Community.
Individual bourses have been in play too.
The London Stock Exchange is likewise reported to be negotiating with Bursa Malaysia for a partnership[7]. Hong Kong has reportedly been open to accept partnerships. And so with Taiwan, who seeks regional alliances via Exchange Traded Funds[8].
And as global stock markets respond to inflationism and financial globalization, we should expect more Initial Public Offerings (IPO) to surge too.
Asia has so far led IPO deals into the recovery.
In the 2011 Global IPO trends outlook, financial services company Ernst & Young observes[9], (chart by Ernst & Young) [bold highlights mine]
In 2011, global IPO markets continue to recover and gain momentum. Global investors seeking to capitalize on the emerging markets growth story have been fueling stock market rallies and new listings world-wide. The lack of exit routes, shortage of capital-raising opportunities, and numerous IPO postponements since 2007 have led to a growing IPO pipeline worldwide. Many key drivers of 2011 global IPO markets reflect a continuation of 2010's key trends including emerging markets growth, state privatizations, multinational company spin-offs, and fast-growth companies in the energy, industrial, materials and technology sectors.
Despite market volatility exacerbated by the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, in 2010, global IPO fundraising gradually recovered to pre-crisis levels, buoyed in particular by a record-breaking fourth quarter. In 2010, emerging market issuers, particularly in China, maintained their fundraising leadership, driven by rapid economic growth, market liquidity, and foreign fund inflows.
Again we see a feedback mechanism where rising stock values have fuelled global IPOs and where IPOs tend to magnify gains in global equity markets.
As stock markets continue to advance these should be reflected in IPOs and in mergers & acquisition activities, as well as deals for free capital movement via alliances and other forms of collaboration.
All these simply represent the deepening thrust towards financial globalization.
And it's quite obvious that the PSE will be a part of this deal making process, as already evidenced by the ASEAN collaboration.
I think more deals will come in the future that should involve the PSE. But all these are anchored upon the whereabouts of the current state of the bubble cycle.
So yes for as long as the boom phase of this cycle persists, I remain mostly bullish on global equity platform providers. And this includes the PSE.

Our strategies are comprehensive enough to be implemented for an entire portfolio. From a theoretical point of view, the model takes into account diversification, correlation and risk management considerations. From an empirical point of view, the model has a long history of consistent strong returns with low volatility and drawdowns. Depending on your risk appetite, you may either:
- Replicate the conservative model portfolio
- Replicate the aggressive model portfolio
- Replicate the platinum portfolio
- Replicate the retirement portfolio
- Fine tune the allocation depending on your investment style. For example, an investor with moderate risk appetite may wish to allocate half of the portfolio according to the conservative model and the other half according to the aggressive model. See an example. A mix between the platinum and the retirement portfolio can further decrease risk, volatility and drawdowns while returning around 25% per year on average. And that's without leverage.
This being said, our strategies can also provide excellent diversification benefits when complemented with other strategies. Indeed, many investors are – rightly so – more comfortable when they diversify their portfolio not only through asset classes but also various strategies. In this regard, one could stress that:
- Our strategies are particularly efficient to boost a portfolio's return in the context of core-satellite strategies. In this framework, the ETFs selected monthly by the model can form a dynamic satellite portfolio with tactical asset allocation edges. As underlined in this article, this can dramatically improve the return of your portfolio and decrease its volatility and maximum drawdown. You can also use our relative strength strategies to overweight some sectors/asset classes alongside a core ETF portfolio and adapt your overall asset allocation according to market changes.
- Value strategies can also provide a good diversification of strategies. You can also see how we build and manage a core portfolio of strong dividend stocks.
- Our strategies can also usefully be complemented with lowly correlated strategies, such as contrarian strategies or specific dip-buying strategies.
Operationally, our strategies are very easy to implement. At the end of each month, check on the website the new portfolio compositions (in you subscribe to our newsletter, you will receive an email once the new portfolio compositions are posted). On average, between 2 and 3 positions change, which means 2 (or 3) positions are sold and replaced by new ones. The actual trading usually takes place during the first trading day of the new month. One way to implement the rebalancing is to enter a limit order on the that 1st of the new month at the last month's closing price. If the order is not filled during the day, buy at the close. More information is available in our FAQ section.

Michael Specter: Irrational rejection of science threatening our lives
Information is the key to life. We want to know what to eat, how to protect our environment, what risks to avoid and what to do if illness strikes. But when it comes to acquiring information, it is the best of times and the worst of times. It is the age of wisdom, it is the age of foolishness. Newspapers, television, radio and of course the Internet bombard us with information at an unprecedented rate, but when it comes to scientific issues the quality of the information is variable.

A special discussion on the controversy surrounding genetically modified foods will take place on November 6 at 6 PM with representatives from both the "pro" and "con" sides, including from Monsanto. This event is in conjunction with the plat "Seeds" being performed at the Centaur starting October 29. The play is based on the legal battle between Monsanto and Saskatchewan farmer Percy Schmeiser.
Eating Right: Is There a Solution to the Confusion?
Eating has become a confusing experience. Every day brings news about some "miracle food": tomatoes prevent cancer, flax seed prevents heart disease or soybeans ease menopause symptoms. Should we be worried about genetic modification, aspartame, MSG, or the safety of dietary supplements? Dr. Joe will cite the science as he guides us through the nutritional maze.

Reviews of Death Drug 1977
If Philip Michael Thomas combing his hair with a rubber alligator in a film is the film you've been looking for, then look no further. A great work of failed television movie PCP genius.
Was this an hour long made-for-TV movie that was padded out for VHS? In any case, the 1980s home video producers brought back Philip Michael Thomas to intro the video, reminding you that he plays Tubbs on Miami Vice and of the dangers of "angel dust" or "whack." The same producers inserted, quite spectacularly, shot on video news reports that unnecessarily frame the very clear story and, best of all, a music video that is beyond strange. Thomas is swinging…
Drug scare film about smoking sherm. Features the Gap Band and a pretty funny drug freak out at a grocery store.
A quite terrible but unintentionally hilarious drama featuring Philip Michael Thomas as a musician who becomes addicted to PCP. In the version I watched, Thomas introduces himself and the film, in a badly shot opening talking about what an intense role this was.
But what follows is a badly scripted, ineptly made saga with mountains of cliches and bad hallucination scenes. During those, Thomas sees people as demons, but to us, they just look like extras wearing rubbery Halloween masks.…
An amazing masterpiece of oddness that spits in the face of auteur theory.
PMT's PCP trip scenes in this are to die for, while technically an anti drug PSA, clearly made for TV in the 70's then additional footage from the 80's spliced in to help promote PMT's new album, I guess that's just...just the way he planned it. All this combines to make one bats hit crazy experience that you will absolutely enjoy! Pass the Sherm!

Pikmin 3 Walkthrough
Table of Contents
Exploration Day 20
Garden of Hope
- Call in 20 of each pikmin and return to the white porcelain pot you constructed on an earlier day, then toss the Captain and Alph on top of it along with the entire squad.
- Throw Alph with all available pikmin onto the next ridge across from you and take control of him to proceed forward, then move around behind the crab to defeat it quickly from a safe distance and collect the giant piece of fruit that appears.
- Destroy the nearby crystal to collect the fragments inside and proceed into the next area to pick up a second pile, then dig up the dirt mound beside you to uncover a third fragment pile and finish construction of the blue bridge.
- Proceed forward to reach a new area and attack the giant crystal on the island ahead to activate a cut scene in which the boss is unleashed, then retreat back onto the path behind you and launch a flurry of blue pikmin onto one of the monster's feet until it turns red.
- Move in a slow circle around the boss to continue inflicting damage on his feet until the monster finally falls to the ground, then move in at close-range to attack the giant crystal again with rock pikmin and retreat back onto the previous path when you see the tongue emerge.
- Continue attacking the crystal until it breaks open to activate a cut-scene in which the boss' head is revealed, then stay on the path to launch pikmin at the monster's feet from a safe distance until it drops to the ground again.
- Attack the fallen monster's head at close range until it gets back on its feet and repeat the previous two steps to inflict further damage on the boss, then continue using this tactic to eventually defeat the creature and activate a cut scene.
- Collect Olimar and the two pieces of fruit, then read the next incoming transmission from the Drake and return all the pikmin on the field to the Onion before sunset to complete the twentieth day.


text: Home Culture VIDEO: Usain Bolt's False Start Ends Reign The man who wasn't worried about the new rule loses because of it. By: Nsenga Burton Posted: Aug. 29 2011 8:59 AM 0 Usain Bolt, the world's fastest man, was disqualified in the world championships over the weekend because of a false start. Bolt broke out of the starting block early in Sunday's 100-meter final in South Korea and was disqualified from the race, providing an abrupt end to the dominance he's maintained in track's biggest event since the Beijing Olympics. It is interesting that the only marquee player in the race was disqualified because of the "one and done" rule, which gives runners only one false start. They used to receive two false starts. This rule has led to the disqualification of high-profile players since its inception in 2010. Oddly enough, Bolt said he was not worried about the new rule because he doesn't scratch. It looks like even the greatest can have off days and false starts. We think this rule will be going away before the next Olympics because who is going to watch track and field when marquee runners are eliminated over a controversial rule? They might want to change the rule to "one and none" -- no viewers, that is. Read more at Yahoo Sports. In other news: 2011 VMAs: The Big Winners. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

The Wintour-For-Ambassador Story Just Got Ugly
As the speculation and buzz surrounding Anna Wintour's possible appointment as U.S. ambassador bubbles, percolates, fizzles, then bubbles up again, the White House press corps is getting odder and odder about the issue.
Take for instance the series of loaded (overloaded, actually) questions dumped on White House Press Secretary Jay Carney by ABC's Jake Tapper above. Operating off the rather reductive notion that Ms. Wintour is a tactless, tyrannical editor with the social skills of a jackhammer, Tapper sardonically, disingenuously asks, "Is it important for a diplomat to be diplomatic...in their personal lives or pop culture?" and, "Has the president seen The Devil Wears Prada?" Isn't it remarkable how Tapper — despite being a magna cum laude graduate of Dartmouth and political reporter with 20 years of hard-earned experience — is able to impersonate a freshman media-studies major? Stunning work.
In any case, anyone with a passing knowledge of Wintour understands that Miranda Priestly was but a humorous, hyperbolic pantomime of the Vogue editor's more colorful personality traits and that, as the head of an international brand, she most likely has a deep and nuanced understanding of British-American diplomatic relations, the graces of international society, and profound social and negotiating skills.
Moreover, let's remember that some of our more noted diplomats had no actual experience in diplomacy or politics before their appointments. World-War II Secretary of State Edward Stettinius was a lifelong businessman, current Ambassador to France Charles Rivkin is the executive producer of Yo Gabba Gabba, and, for pete's sake, legendary Ambassador to Britain Joseph P. Kennedy was a banker of questionable ethics and a bootlegger.
We're starting to wonder if such silly questions would be lobbed at The White House if Wintour — a highly successful businesswoman in a multibillion-dollar industry and a powerful media figure — wasn't in the female-dominated world of fashion. Just sayin'. (Fashionista)

STONE MOUNTAIN—The camera crews and reporters are gone. The house where Ira Curry lives in the Water's Edge subdivision has been locked tight. Neighbors say there's been no sign of Curry or her family since she became a mega millionaire in December. Life is normal again.
Curry, 56, won half of the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot in U.S. history, Georgia Lottery President Debbie Alford said on Dec. 18. Curry took the cash option, which after taxes, will be about $120 million.
It's enough dough for some neighbors to have a little hope that Curry will be "a good neighbor," as the State Farm insurance slogan goes.
"We would wave and speak shortly, but of course I wish I knew her a little better. I bet that lady is somewhere across the globe right now," said Michelle Oxley, who has lived in Curry's neighborhood for five years. "I bet she's not coming back. I wouldn't. I would just have somebody pick up my personal items."
Curry told lottery officials she picked the winning numbers using a mix of family birthdays and her family's lucky number, 7. The winning numbers were 8, 14, 17, 20 and 39, with a Mega ball of 7.
Curry found out from her daughter that she had won after calling to find out what the winning numbers were.
Jonathan Jones, who lives in Water's Edge, says he's happy somebody from Georgia won.
"It's good to see a winner from Stone Mountain. You always see people win the big jackpot in other states. This close to home though? Wow, I'm so happy for her," said Jones, who was home for the holidays from college. "I'm sure she will do good things with all that money."
Two tickets matched the winning numbers in the Dec. 17 $648 million jackpot. Curry's half of the cash option comes to $173,819,742.50, before federal and state taxes, officials said. Officials say the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 259 million.
Lottery officials say Curry bought the ticket at the end of the day on Dec. 13 and it was a last-minute decision.
Amber Epps, whose parents live in Water's Edge, said she doesn't expect to see Curry anytime soon.
"I wish my mom, Angela, knew her. That would have been so cool," said Epps, whose family has lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years. "That lady is probably hiding somewhere in Jamaica with her feet kicked up. Man, I wish I could help her spend just some of that money."
Curry is not completely tucked in a shell. She has been communicating with well-wishers via Facebook. On Dec. 21, she posted a note:
"Thank you for the messages and friend requests. I've just been so busy, I will read all messages and consider each and every request. Blessed," wrote Curry. "When I found out, I was in a state of disbelief. I still didn't believe it when my daughter told me."
One of Curry's Facebook friends and neighbor, Tanya Crews, says she hopes Curry is reading this story.
"If you see this, don't forget about the little people," Crew said laughing. "I'm glad things have got back to normal and the hype is over. I don't want to see any more newspapers or news channels coming in here, unless Ira is with them."
Curry bought her winning ticket in Atlanta at a Gateway Newstand in the lobby of an office building near Atlanta's Buckhead community. The other ticket was sold in San Jose, California, lottery officials said.
This jackpot was so large in part because Mega Millions became tougher to win. The prize rises with each miss, and no one had won it since organizers increased the pool of numbers to choose from—making astronomical odds even longer—in October.
The California winning ticket was sold at Jenny's Gift Shop in a San Jose strip mall, lottery officials said.

Simultaneous measurements of OClO, NO2 and O-3 in the Arctic polar vortex by the GOMOS instrument
We present the first nighttime measurements of OClO from a limb-viewing\nsatellite instrument in the Arctic polar vortex. The relationship\nbetween OClO, NO2 and O-3 slant column densities in the Arctic polar\nvortex are analyzed from the GOMOS measurements. The retrieval process\nis based on a differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) method\napplied on the weighted median GOMOS transmittances. A study of the\nlongitudinal distributions of OClO, NO2 and O-3 above 65 degrees north\nin January 2008 is presented. It shows a strong halogen activation in\nthe lower stratosphere and a strong denoxification in the entire\nstratosphere inside the Arctic polar vortex. Time series of temperatures\nand OClO, NO2 and O-3 slant column densities for the winters 2002/2003\nto 2007/2008 are also presented. They highlight the correlation between\ntemperature, OClO and NO2. The GOMOS instrument appears to be a very\nsuitable instrument for the monitoring of OClO, NO2 and O-3 in the\nstratosphere during nighttime.

U.S. Accidential Pushing Kurds to Independence
Dov Friedman, The New Republic
The Associated Press
The Kurdistan Regional Government's efforts to export its own oil, against the wishes of the Iraqi and U.S. governments, saw a significant achievement last week: Reuters reported Thursday that a tanker carrying more than $100 million of crude oil was headed for Galveston, Texas. But just days later, on Monday night, a U.S. judge sided with an Iraqi Oil Ministry complaint that the KRG had "misappropriated" the one million barrels, and she ordered their seizure.

Crew Resource Management (CRM) Training for the Railroad Industry Phase III: Business Case/Utility Analysis of Implementing CRM in the Railroad Industry
Project Description
Crew Resource Management (CRM) is a human factors (HF) training process that has been employed in the commercial aviation industry for over 25 years. During that time period, CRM has been credited with contributing to a marked decrease in HF-caused accidents. TTI researchers were involved in a multi-year project for the Federal Rail Administration that focused on adapting CRM for use in the railroad industry across all job functions and crafts.
In phase III of the project, researchers used a utility analysis method to quantify the anticipated benefits to the railroad industry if CRM training were to be more broadly adopted. TTI researchers tested the utility analysis model using airline industry data and then applied the model to NTSB and FRA accident data from the railroad industry. The study found that CRM training can have net positive benefits at both the industry and individual railroad level by reducing the overall costs associated with HF accidents. A final report documenting the findings of the study and sensitivity analysis of several parameters was also submitted and has been posted on the FRA's website.
For a complete description of this project and a list of the training materials produced, see the project page on this site.

Persian Gulf Harnessing Microbes to Transform Desert into Farmland
Posted By Brit Liggett On May 18, 2010 @ 1:00 am In Design,Environment,Social Design,Water Issues | 8 Comments
The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait are in the midst of a massive project to re-landscape [2] their deserts and transform them into fertile farmland, providing food security for their future. The countries are utilizing a mixture of microbes and soil — called mycorrhiza [3] — that allows plants to absorb more nutrients than they can alone. By researching areas that have significant amounts of water [4] and soil fertility and harnessing mycorrhiza they have already been able to convert 4,000 square meters of "hyper-saline waste-land" into a vegetable and grain producing farm.
Abu Dhabi has just conducted a soil survey to locate the areas of their country where soil could sustain plant life. Given the correct treatment and financial investment they believe that they can find enough arable land to increase their domestic food production up to 70% higher than current levels — they've already found 200,000 hectares that could be used for agriculture. The Persian Gulf states won't be able to find enough land to support 100% of their food needs but they believe it is a better choice than their current tactic of buying arable land in faraway places to produce food.
The studies conducted don't seem to incorporate the environmental impact of farming in their desert ecosystems, nor do they mention much of where their water [4] will come from. We're guessing that providing irrigation to the UAE and surrounding nations could prove a difficult task. As we sometimes forget here in the US, a lot of our southwestern farmland is naturally desert and irrigation in that region is slowly draining the Colorado River. Though we love us some food security, we're hoping the Gulf nations are doing the right surveys to account for water security as well.

Date published: May 7, 2012
Language: English
Journal code: NEAM
Five hundred pages of redactions. Blank pages. That's what the public gets to see in the transcripts of the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FROMC) meetings for 2007-2010. The longawaited transcripts, released March 7, pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request by MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan Show, undoubtedly hold some very important information about the Fed's activities and decisions during and since the financial crisis, including to whom it has given trillions of taxpayer dollars in "loans" and bailouts - and on what terms.
Not all of the recently released transcript pages are completely blank; some of the pages of particular FROMC meetings list the names of attendees and include brief opening and closing remarks by Chairman Ben Bernanke, as well as bantering and joking by Bernanke and other attendees. Although the meager transcripts provide virtually none of the substantive information Fed watchers were hoping to find, the newly released pages do include the word "Laughter," in brackets, 79 times. Undoubtedly, there were many more laugh lines in the redacted material. However, for the millions of Americans who have lost their homes, their businesses, their jobs, or their life savings - or who face imminent loss of the same - it's no laughing matter.
In an April 16 commentary entitled "Fed Release Is Absurdly Redacted," John Carney, senior editor of CNBCs NetNet, notes that Bernanke and company have censored all the relevant information about the most critical events in our recent economic history. "Take the entry from March 10, 2008," Carney comments. "It begins with these words. 'CHAIRMAN BERNANKE: Good evening, everybody. I am sorry, once again, to have to call you together on short notice. We live in a very special time.' That sounds like the start to a very interesting meeting. Unfortunately, the remainder of that page is redacted."
Why was that meeting important? Because of the imminent collapse of the Bear Sterns brokerage, one of the critical precipitating events of the financial crisis. "The following day," notes Carney, "the Fed announced the creation of the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF), one of the first of many bailout facilities the Fed would launch to prop up the financial system."
The speeches and testimony of Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke and other Federal Reserve officers are replete with pious expressions of the Fed's alleged commitment to openness and transparency. Clearly, that commitment is as empty as the latest batch of released transcripts.

my daff bulbs are rotting in their pots, should I remove the top layer of compost to let them dry out? or is it too late to save them?
Once the rot has started there is little you can do.
The bulbs will have been soaked through for the process to begin, and nothing will save them sorry to say.
If you have any other pots which are unaffected I'd move them to a more sheltered position and increase the drainage by getting the pots off the ground.
For next year add more croc's or polystyrene lumps to the bottom of the pot.
We won't really get a break from this rain for some time yet, so I'd save what you can for the time being.
Tip them out and see if any bulbs are ok. Those with rot should be ditched but any...and there may be some.....that look ok I would pot up again or plant out. Just check them first
thanks for your replies, I have moved as many pots as I could into the greenhouse, will dig the bulbs out and check them. I had also planted up to raised beds thinking they would make a nice display - should of just planted them in the garden, but never mind will know better for this year.
seems I have lots to learn
Again thanks for everyones help
one make sure you have drainage and if not flowering and just showing shoots cover with something to keep rain off or remove to shed for awhile.
In future you need lots of drainage in the pots. Better luck next year. Soon you will be able to buy daffs in pots which are in flower. Cheat. Plant the new small pots into your large one for a colourful display

What is COL?
The Commission for Oceanography and Limnology (COL) of the Swiss Academy of Sciences has three main goals:
PROMOTE study and research opportunities and international contacts for Swiss students and scientists.
SUPPORT students who would like to enroll in oceanographic and limnological courses.
ADVERTISE marine and lake research through its website and symposia.
COL also serves as the Scientific Committee of Oceanic Research SCOR and its members are represented in international oceanographic bodies of experts.
Recent story
During the austral summer 2012, Captain Uwe Pahl and his crew led the RV Polarstern expedition ANTXXVIII/3 through the Southern Ocean with on board Franck Lejzerowicz, a PhD student from the Department of Genetics and Evolution of the University of Geneva. From Cape Town (South Africa) to Punta Arenas (Chile), nine weeks at the sea were sufficient for the participants of two main projects to gather enough samples from both the water column (EDDY PUMP project, lead. Volker Strass) and the benthos (SYSTCO II project, lead. Angelika Brandt)...

As expected in a land of lakes, not oceans, many Swiss scientists have been curious about the geology of lakes. Already in 1705, Louis Ferdinand Comte de Marsili described Lake Urner as a "piccolo mare" (from Italian "small sea" ) with all attributes of a bigger brother such as the Mediterranean Sea. F.-A. Forel in 1885 first described in detail several ongoing biological and geological processes in Lake Geneva coining the discipline of Limnology.Thus, since early times Swiss scientists from different disciplines were involved in aquatic sciences. Since 1882 and for almost a century the access to marine stations for Swiss scientists and students was granted by the formation of the "Federal commission for the Zoological Station" in Naples, Italy, and the "Biological Station" in Roscoff, France, by the Federal Department of the Interior.

You're in Baltimore for the first time. Where do you go out?
I recently found myself in the lobby of the Tremont Plaza Hotel, where I spotted this touch-screen Interactive City Guide marquee.
Ever seen these things? This was the first time I came across one. I fooled around with it a bit, and it gave me a list of the city's top hot spots for nightlife.
City-wide lists like this one are rarely up to date. And sure enough, there were a couple spots
(The Spy Club, for one) that are closed.
Update: The Spy Club is not closed. It just has scaled back hours. And there is no longer a sign on the front of the building advertising it. My apologies for the confusion.
Overall, I thought it wasn't a bad list, considering.
I'd like to see more under-the-radar spots on it. Then again, they wouldn't be under-the-radar spots anymore if they were on the list.
I wonder -- are these podiums at any other city hotels.

Lacking memory, lacking direct experiential knowledge, amnesiacs have to make hypotheses and inferences, and they usually make plausible ones. They can infer that they have been doing something, been somewhere, even though they cannot recollect what or where. Yet Clive, rather than making plausible guesses, always came to the conclusion that he had just been awakened, that he had been dead. This seemed to me a reflection of the almost instantaneous effacement of perception for Clivethought itself was almost impossible within this tiny window of time.
Indeed, Clive once said to Deborah, I am completely incapable of thinking. Source
His ability to perceive what he saw and heard was unimpaired. But he did not seem to be able to retain any impression of anything for more than a blink. Indeed, if he did blink, his eyelids parted to reveal a new scene. The view before the blink was utterly forgotten. Each blink, each glance away and back, brought him an entirely new view. I tried to imagine how it was for him. . . . Something akin to a film with bad continuity, the glass half empty, then full, the cigarette suddenly longer, the actors hair now tousled, now smooth. But this was real life, a room changing in ways that were physically impossible.

Mark Twain quipped that Shakespeare was not written by Shakespeare but another person named Shakespeare. Shapiro (English, Columbia Univ.; Shakespeare and the Jews) concludes that Shakespeare was written by Shakespeare. That said, he argues that an examination of the controversies over Shakespeare's authorship, which only began to arise in the 18th century, is valuable. It is not merely a matter of antiquarian curiosity but impinges on may issues in modern critical practice, raising questions about texts, autobiography, collaboration, national identity, interpretation, ideology, and the "author" function. Among the many competing claims of authorship, Shapiro focuses primarily on those for Francis Bacon and the Earl of Oxford as representative. His primary questions are the why and the how, tracing the history of these claims from their origins, how they gained momentum, and their lack of real substantiation. Thoroughly documented, Shapiro's book is scholarly yet well paced and accessible. VERDICT Rewarding for both the Shakespeare scholar and the serious general reader.--T.L. Cooksey, Armstrong Atlantic State Univ., Savannah, GA[Page 95]. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
This engaging and fair history of the Shakespeare authorship debate examines the cases for Francis Bacon and Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford, as the true authors of the plays and provides a fascinating look at some of the most prominent anti-Stratfordians, including Sigmund Freud, Mark Twain, and Helen Keller.[Page 50]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Shapiro, author of the much admired A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599, achieves another major success in the field of Shakespeare research by exploring why the Bard's authorship of his works has been so much challenged. Step-by step, Shapiro describes how criticism of Shakespeare frequently evolved into attacks on his literacy and character. Actual challenges to the authorship of the Shakespeare canon originated with an outright fraud perpetrated by William-Henry Ireland in the 1790s and continued through the years with an almost religious fervor. Shapiro exposes one such forgery: the earliest known document, dating from 1805, challenging Shakespeare's authorship and proposing instead Francis Bacon. Shapiro mines previously unexamined documents to probe why brilliant men and women denied Shakespeare's authorship. For Mark Twain, Shapiro finds that the notion resonated with his belief that John Milton, not John Bunyan, wrote The Pilgrim's Progress. Sigmund Freud's support of the earl of Oxford as the author of Shakespeare appears to have involved a challenge to his Oedipus theory, which was based partly on his reading of Hamlet. As Shapiro admirably demonstrates, William Shakespeare emerges with his name and reputation intact. 16 pages of b&w photos. (Apr.)[Page 54]. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.

Harlequin is a Trainer Class introduced in and currently exclusive to Generation V. They are very similar to the Juggler and Clown classes. They first appeared in the Castelia City Gym. One Harlequin later appears in a festival held by Alder. Harlequins then later appear in areas where there are "tightropes" above tall, dark grass, hence the circus theme.

A simple entertaining platformernintendo97 | July 4, 2013 | See all nintendo97's reviews »
You play as a guy in a teacup throughout around 50 levels that can last you about 2 hours. The controls are very good for a platformer on the PC, and the floating is done far better with the spacebar than a touchscreen. Although this game is short, I enjoyed it while it lasted.
A nice 2D gamedrafek | June 17, 2013 | See all drafek's reviews »
The game is a nice game, It does have pretty good puzzles. Enough levels and clean and nice graphics (for a platformer). You also can customize your characters in game, which is a pretty nice feature. The joypad support is done really well. It's worth the money, if you have the money I suggest you pick it up.

You float in a teacup, it's a simple platformer. The game offers some challenges (getting all the items in a level without dying), and some survival modes. Does graphics and music right. One of the better "kid"-friendly platformers on steam
Little stormDukePaul | Feb. 14, 2013 | See all DukePaul's reviews »
Storm in a Teacup was a very good game for other systems with touch controls and now the game is out for PC with an improved port, It includes 50 levels and survival modes to give it more hours of gameplay, also the controls with a gamepad are very good and accurate. The price is very cheap and it is a great platform game if you want a bit of challenge.

Zanders has eyes on shot put, discus honors
Friday, May 24, 2013
It was an easy choice.
Bre Zanders of Helias has qualified in both the shot put and the discus for the Class 3 state track and field championships that start today at Dwight T. Reed Stadium.
So if she had to choose one or the other?
"I love the discus," Zanders said. "I'm better at it."
To be fair, the senior is pretty good in both events. Last year, Zanders finished eighth at state in the shot put, while she didn't qualify in discus.
The shot-put competition is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start today. Of the 16 qualifiers, Zanders had the seventh-best throw in sectional competition at 39 feet, 8 inches.
"In the shot, it has kind of come naturally," Zanders said.
Helias coach Chip Malmstrom believes Zanders will be in the hunt for the state title after throwing as far as 43 feet in recent practice sessions.
"I think she's on the verge of a breakthrough," he said.
On Saturday, Zanders will throw in the discus starting at 11 a.m. She enters the event as one of the favorites and has the top throw of the season in Class 3 at 150-7, which came at the district championships.
That throw set a Helias school record, which she seemingly broke every week during the season.
"I just worked to get better at it, I didn't want to be content with where I was at," Zanders said.
The throw also put her within reach of the Class 3 state record of 152-9 set by Rickeal Roach of Lutheran South in 2007.
"Realistically, when you're throwing 150, what's another two or three feet?" Malmstrom said. "I'd love to see her set a state record."
Malmstrom said Zanders has the unique combination of athletic ability and mental toughness.
"She's a strong, quick thrower and she studies it," he said. "She can change something pretty quickly and she knows what she's done wrong."
Cydnee Reese of O'Hara figures to be in the discus title chase as well after claiming the crown the last two seasons.
Zanders said she's "pretty ecstatic" with how her senior season has gone.
"I've been working hard and that's paid off so far," she said. "I hope it will pay off (today) and Saturday."
But she won't be putting any extra pressure on herself.
"I'm just going to look at it as just another meet," Zanders said.
Zanders has signed with Lindenwood to play basketball, so this may be her last track and field competition.
Or maybe not.
"I don't know yet," Zanders said. "We'll see what the future holds."
Zanders isn't Helias' only thrower with state-title hopes.
Will Fife of the Crusaders is back in the shot put after taking third as a sophomore last year.
He has the second-best throw in Class 3 this season, a school-record 58-1.
"To watch Will throw, it's like the gun going off at the start of the race because it's so explosive," Malmstrom said.
Fife's shot put mark was one of six boys school records set this season.
"It's been a great season," Malmstrom said.
Griff McCurren also has an excellent shot at winning a state title for the Crusaders in the 400-meter dash. The senior, who was fourth in the event in 2012, ran a 48.61 at last Saturday's sectional.
"He's looking pretty strong in that event," Malmstrom said.
The preliminaries in the 400 are today, with the final set for 2:15 p.m. Saturday.
Michael McCoy of the Crusaders has qualified in the 800- and 1,600-meter runs.
"I have a really good feeling about him," Malmstrom said. "He's just running his races and putting up awesome times."
Josh Woodruff, a freshman, has advanced in the 200-meter dash.
The Crusaders will also have a pair of relay teams at state —the 4x200-meter squad of Woodruff, Jordan Walker, J.C. Szumigala and McCurren, and the 4x400-meter group of Ryan Tannehill, Walker, Szumigala and McCurren.
Malmstrom believes the Helias boys have a chance to finish among the top teams this weekend.
"I'd like to see a top-six finish," he said. "Anything can happen, other teams can have points not come through, so we could do better than that."
Kaitlyn Shea will join Zanders as Lady Crusaders' representatives at state.
Shea, a sophomore out for track for the first time, will be in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter runs.
"This is going to be a great experience for her," Malmstrom said. "I know she expects to do very well."
Shea was voted the track MVP for the Lady Crusaders this season.

- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for searing scallops and garnish
- 1 cup sliced shallots
- 4 cups peas
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Grana Padano or Parmesan
- 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- Sea salt to taste
- 1 1/2 pounds scallops
- 1 tablespoon chopped marjoram
- White pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar, plus more for garnish
This recipe contains: Dairy, Shellfish
Pan-Seared Scallops with Spring Pea and Grana Padano Purée
Piero Premoli
Pricci Atlanta
Piero Premoli prepared this springtime dish at his Beard House dinner.
Yield: 4 servings
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot. Add the shallots and sauté for 3 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the peas and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let the peas cook for 5 minutes, until soft. Drain the peas and transfer to a food processor. Add the grated cheese, parsley, and garlic and pulse until it forms a coarse purée. While running the food processor, add the remaining olive oil and the sherry vinegar. Purée until smooth. Season to taste with salt.
Pat the scallops dry. Season the scallops with the marjoram, white pepper, and salt. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over high heat. When the pan is hot, place the scallops in the pan and sear until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Don't move the scallops once they are placed in the pan or they will not form a nice crust.
To serve, spread the pea purée on the serving plate. Top the purée with the seared scallops and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with sea salt.

The Source Family
A film by Maria Demopoulos, Jodi Wille
The Source Family was a radical experiment in '70s utopian living. Their outlandish style, popular health food restaurant, rock band, and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywood's Sunset Strip; but their outsider ideals and the unconventional behavior of their spiritual leader, Father Yod, caused controversy with local authorities.
They fled to Hawaii, leading to their dramatic demise. Years later, former family members surface and the rock band reforms, revealing how their time with Father Yod shaped their lives in the most unexpected ways. THE SOURCE FAMILY provides an intimate, insiders' view at this incredible group of people through their own archival photos, home movies, audio recordings, and contemporary interviews with members of the family.
These personal accounts, along with interviews with outsiders, make up the interviews in the film. However, the story is largely cinematic, expressed through the use of the group's extensive film and audio archive maintained by Isis Aquarian, one of Father's wives, Family documentarian, and a central character in the documentary (as well as being associate producer).
The film's soundtrack is composed entirely of original Source Family music produced from 1971-1975.
One of the most detailed looks at the inner workings of an American cult ever assembled.

Get a toddler bed! Or in your case, get two! My son is 21 months old and he also started sleeping with us when he was sick. I tried everything and was about to give up. I went ahead and got a toddler bed and he is fine. He will sleep by himself for at least 3-4 hours at a time. IT does take patience, putting him back into bed but it will be worth it iff you stick to it! Give it a try. .... I bet if one twin gets a big bed, the other will want one too! Good luck.posted 10/09/2007 by allisonh426
