How to read the Consolation with a touch nuance
Two contemporary scholars have argued against this kind of didactic reading. Both Joel C. Relihan and John Marenbon share the theory that Boethius is questioning Philosophy's ability to lead him to an attainment of the good, but they differ as to Boethius method and what degree of impact the Menippean format has on Boethius' project.[1]
John Marenbon's thesis, on one hand, is simply as he states in the introduction to his book: "The Consolation is, as its complex literary structure should immediately suggest, not just a work of but about Philosophy; a subtle text which could be understood on various levels."[2] But as Marenbon is also quick to point out, our approach to the Consolation requires more than philosophical proficiency. The Menippean Satire, rather than providing a neutral structure, as Chadwick and Claassen believe, infuses the work with a satirical bent (as the "satire" in Menippean Satire suggests). As such, the inclusion of poetry serves to help make sense of the gaps in Philosophy's arguments, the fact that while she leads Boethius to the good (III.10), she can not help him attain it.[3] In fact, Marenbon argues that the inclusion of the Menippean format is even more crucial to the Consolation than either the consolatio or the dialogue genre. While "modern discussion of the Consolation has tended to be either philosophical or literary," he suggests that two factors are necessary for a whole reading: the poems, and Boethius' Christianity.[4] Operating between these two invisible hermeneutical poles are the two stated goals of the Consolation: 1. curing the sick Boethius by means of Philosophy's remedies; and 2. demonstrating what true happiness is.[5] Thus, Marenbon has the task of showing how his reading can better elaborate on these two goals. In terms of Boethius' Christianity, Marenbon points to textual evidence. "The Consolation is a dialogue between a figure who is recognizably a Christian – Boethius – and a figure who is not – Philosophy. The reasons for making this assertion are almost too obvious to remark."[6] He also points to inconsistencies in Philosophy's arguments when she's forced to deal with issues raised in light of Boethius' faith, as in book V when she (inadvertently?) defends causal determinism.[7]
The poems, Marenbon asserts, point directly to Boethius' use of the Menippean format. Nearly three decades after Chadwick's Consolations of Logic, Music, Theology, and Philosophy, it is a commonplace in Boethian scholarship that the Consolation is a work of Menippean Satire. Marenbon, however, is among few that insist that the satirical form dramatically affects the Consolation's meaning. Whereas, the Consolation's "links with [Philosophical and consolatio] genres do not affect its meaning… to recognize the work as Menippean Satire does, arguably, change how it should be understood."[8] He argues that the gaps in Philosophy's arguments, the lack of an Ariadne thread[9] in her arguments from beginning to the end of work, and the fact that she ultimately fails to help Boethius attain the good, all of this can only be explained by recourse to satire, that Boethius the author never intended to grant to Philosophy the sufficiency to exhaustively grasp the good. Yet, Marenbon's trust in the Menippean form only goes so far. Whereas Relihan argues that Boethius is demonstrating Philosophy's inability to come through on its own promises[10] – "This undermining of philosophy, Relihan believes, is in the service of the Christian faith"[11] – Marenbon thinks that Relihan's argument is unconvincing. Philosophy makes powerful arguments that Boethius does in fact accept.[12] Marenbon suggests instead that through the Menippean format, Boethius explores the limitations of Philosophy. Menippean Satire gives Boethius a middle path between Philosophy and Religion to explore the limitations of Philosophy.
Marenbon concludes by noting that whereas Boethius could have overtly explored Philosophy's inability to grasp the good, he only exposes her inability through the use of the Menippean and dialogue formats.[13] Sadly, Marenbon is content to do the same. And while his text is an overview of the entire extant Boethian corpus, he does little to explore how this reading of the Consolation, and the ramifications that he declares it has for Philosophy, might affect Boethius' larger corpus. With Marenbon's research and provocative statements as a jumping off point, the reader is left to speculate what role Philosophy might have in a different (more theological?) search for the good.
Relihan, in The Prisoner's Philosophy (2007), boldly declares that the Menippean satire "insists on the essential disconnectedness of facts and rejects the mythical modes of reasoning that look for theories to explain events, or that it uses at least two voicesto oppose a threatening or false orthodoxy."[14] Boethius, however, usurps the usual function of Menippean Satire for Christian ends. Relihan suggests that Boethius uses the Menippean Satire in order to create a via media between Philosophy's pedagogical goals and the instability called up by the satirical form. The middle way is the Christian vision, through prayer, of the world as created.[15]
Relihan points to the quote from Esther at the end. As Esther has not mentioned "God" directly, so too the Consolation. Relihan directs us to the similarities between the injustice done to the Israelites in Esther, and the trumped charges and imprisonment of the innocent Boethius. While Philosophy has urged Boethius to forget these temporal matters in the search for true happiness, Boethius, the author, is apparently still concerned about temporal justice, and places this message, subversively, in Philosophy's mouth. "Turn away then from vices, cultivate virtues, lift up your mind to heaven. A great necessity is solemnly ordained for you if you do not want to deceive yourselves, to do good, when you act before the eyes of a judge who sees all things."[16] Here at the very end, Philosophy is calling Boethius to turn his eyes toward heaven, but Boethius hears something more than a self- and world- negating turn. According to Relihan, Boethius hears the call to this-worldly-righteousness in the vein of Mordacai and Esther. This entails that an understanding of scriptural texts of justice and righteousness are necessary to understand Boethius' story (his life story as well as his psuedo-auto-biographical work). Amidst the legion of genres embodied in the Consolation, there is a parallel to Wisdom literature, the discovery of God in the everyday, and the discovery of the everyday through God.
But this begs the question of the importance of Boethius' religious commitments. Twentieth century Boethian scholarship seems to think that the Consolation could have been written by virtually any (imprisoned) neo-Platonic philosopher of the time. This is Hankey's proposal, that Boethius' influence on the medieval Christianity is simply a matter of his contribution of another consolatio apathiae? Marenbon and Relihan shoot too many holes in this theory for it to be tenable any longer. Still, the question lingers: "Why did Boethius choose to write what could still be called uncharitably a crypto-Christian work?"[17] Relihan is not content with explanations that minimize Boethius' Christian commitments, or the hermeneutical import they have for understanding Boethius' corpus. A better explanation shows the Consolation uniting various genres (dialogue, satire, philosophical exposition, prisoner/exile literature) under the banner of wisdom literature with the purpose of creating something "experimental," in Relihan's words.[18] Wisdom literature provides a point of synthesis between pagan and Christian, where Boethius can explore the relationship of his faith and theological commitments to his philosophical education. "Like Wisdom literature in general, which gains its religious dimensions by its placement in the religious context of the canons of Scripture, Consolation co-opts secular traditions for religious purposes."[19]
Unlike Marenbon, who thinks that the religious import of the work lies solely in the quiet subversion of the Menippean form, Relihan sees a deeper religious motive at work. He links Boethius concern with justice with his initial cry for God's rule on earth (I.m.5). Here, Relihan draws the reader's attention to similarities between the language of the Consolation and the Lord's Prayer. He argues that "Boethius the author has been trying in these five books to represent a recreation not of the process of thought, but of the process of prayer."[20] Incidentally, we never hear Boethius praying. However, his concern for prayer's efficacy is only the obvious sign of Boethius' larger, independent "deconversion" from Philosophy. Indeed, Boethius' relationship to Philosophy is highly suspect by the end of the Consolation. Relihan sees in Boethius' silence in the face of Philosophy's barrage of argumentation at the end a "parting of ways" between the two. Boethius, he thinks, has discovered something that Philosophy possessed but neither realized nor intended to impart: "the present eternity of his sight runs along with the future quality of our actions dispensing rewards for the good and punishment for the wicked."[21]
[1] Marenbon is writing ten years after Relihan's Ancient Menippean Satire (1993), and four years before Relihan's The Prisoner's Philosophy (2007); they represent a live conversation about the role of Menippean Satire in interpreting the Consolation.
[2] Marenbon, Boethius, 4.
[3] Book III is, in many ways, the turning point of the Consolation: Boethius has recovered from his overwhelming grief through a back and forth with Philosophy. Maybe the discussion with Philosophy has provided a bit of a distraction. Maybe the philosophical give and take has been a grace to him in his solitude. Philosophy ends Book II by singing a song of cosmic love – "what binds all things to order, / Governing earth and sea and sky, / Is love" (II.m.8.13-15, Loeb ed.). Boethius declares his relief, both from her arguments and her rendition of the muse's art, and his desire for more. Philosophy, in what could be seen as both haughty and seductive, responds: "[W]ith what desire you would burn if you knew where I am going to lead you" (III.1.15-17 Loeb ed.). She then asserts that she will lead him to true happiness; not the mundane sort that got him in the bind he's in now, and that he has been pining away for, alone in a prison cell. No. This is the kind that occupied his heroes, Aristotle and Plato. Happiness, she explains, has been sought through different means – temporal power, self-sufficiency, fame, honor, and physical health. All, both characters agree, are simply means to something greater, namely true happiness. And while Boethius holds a more complex view of happiness, Philosophy believes that true happiness is actualized in a state of complete independence to these secondary states (wealth, health, etc..). This view, that the happiness which Boethius seeks is to be found only in rationality, will be the thrust of her argument through Book III, until she gets to discussing God, a discussion that comprises the end of Book III. This Book, therefore, is both a focal point of Philosophy's energies, as well as the point in which Boethius, both as character and author, will break that focus through a barrage of dialogical questioning and the irony introduced through the Menippean form.

Javon Walker still can't go full-speed at practice, but he's getting there.
The Denver Broncos wide receiver hasn't played since Week 3 because of an injured right knee. He underwent surgery on the knee in mid-October.
Walker says he ran around a little bit yesterday, and whenever the coaches feel comfortable with him getting out there and practicing -- that's what he'll do.
Walker shined for the Broncos early in the season, catching 17 passes for 220 yards in the team's first two games. His effectiveness was limited in the team's third game of the season against Jacksonville, though, as he had only two catches for 10 yards.
He hasn't seen the field since.
Broncos coach Mike Shanahan hasn't said whether Walker will be available for Monday night's game against Tennessee.

Speaker: Prof. Peter Sarre
In this lecture I am going to talk about amazing chemistry in space - chemistry that happens in clouds of gas and dust that lie between the stars. These molecular clouds are trillions of miles from end to end and with enough material to create up to a million Suns. Conditions are extreme - atoms and molecules are well spaced-out, cold, and hit by cosmic rays. How do we know molecules are there? What telescopes can be used? How can chemical reactions take place when it is so cold? How does interstellar chemistry link with the chemistry of planets?

Because of that, Pitt County Memorial Hospital is urging everyone experiencing flu like symptoms wishing to visit a patient to stay home. Any visitor with a persistent cough may be asked to wear a face mask while inside the hospital.
State health officials also say even though the flu is being called widespread it is still no more than a typical influenza wave.

Media owners and editors attending a meeting in Dar es Salaam yesterday were unanimous that the peace prevailing in the country is a priceless asset that Tanzanians without exception ought to feel obliged to jealously safeguard.
They said peace has nothing to do with one's tribe, one's religious affiliation or the colour of one's skin and no one is spared the disastrous consequences of its absence.
The meeting, jointly organised by the Media Owners Association of Tanzania (MOAT) and the Tanzania Editors Forum, was called specifically to deliberate on recent events in the country generally viewed as suggesting serious danger for peace and harmony.
MOAT and TEF chairmen Reginald Mengi and Absalom Kibanda, respectively, co-chaired the forum. They underscored the need for delegates and the media fraternity generally to demonstrate their patriotism by doing the utmost to consolidate cordial relations among all Tanzanians and desist from engaging in anything that might jeopardise the peace, tranquility and unity the country has enjoyed for decades.
The meeting came up with a raft of resolutions and recommendations meant to help shape the way forward in efforts to ensure that these "assets" are not lost but are in fact maintained and consolidated.
MOAT Executive Secretary Henry Muhanika read the resolutions, saying the two parties had committed themselves to ensuring that editors observe the ethics guiding their profession and make the interests of Tanzania and Tanzanians their number one priority.
They also agreed to set national agendas on "critical issues" such as those relating to security and law and order as well as the economy and the national ethic.
It was also resolved that editors should continue to see the need for coming together as appropriate for self-criticism sessions at which they would assess and review their operations, with a view to serving the nation to satisfaction.
Closing the meeting, Mengi reiterated the importance of media practitioners preaching and practising peace and patriotism "for the simple reason that we are all sailing in the same boat known as Tanzania and shall perish together in the event of a furious storm".
"We must always remember that if violence breaks out, all of us will be affected. We must also remember that the majority of Tanzanians are poor people and, in the absence of peace, they will plunge into worse levels of poverty," he said, adding that poverty and peace and not compatible.
Kibanda meanwhile stressed the need for editors to fulfil their duties diligently, the thrust of their endeavours being to distinguish themselves as responsible journalists leading by example helping in setting national agendas.
"We cannot be patriotic if we don't have national agenda and if we do not contribute to efforts to set one. It would be simple to know who is patriotic and who is not if we have a national agenda in place," he said.
He noted that some Members of Parliament recently pointed fingers at some media outlets they alleged were contributing to breaches of law and order and therefore threatening the peace prevailing in the country, adding that it was upon the media to prove such assertions wrong by acting professionally.
Several other delegates who contributed to the debate said journalists were duty bound to expose injustice, crime, oppression and other unbecoming behaviour and practices without fear or favour but caring for truth, accuracy and balance.
They said in conditions of injustice, the media would be at their most patriotic where they ensured that the rights and interests of underdogs are protected because that was the surest recipe for peace and harmony in society.
Free Media Deputy Managing Editor Ansbert Ngurumo criticised politicians and other people with vested interests for interfering with the work of journalists "but being allergic or hypersensitive to perceived interference by prying media practitioners in theirs".
He said the major principle journalists worth their salt ought to observe is truth, adding: "We don't need haranguing from outsiders (non-journalists). What we need is to fight for justice and therefore fight against all forms of injustice."
It was also noted at the meeting that the media had played a remarkable role in respect of the process expected to lead to the writing of a new Constitution for Tanzania, in part by having contributed to the withdrawal of the first draft of the respective bill from the National Assembly.

We decided to chose a middle name from an important family member. Not to say that not all family is important, but maybe 1 that had a special significance. My husband's mother was very excited to find out we were having a baby, even more excited it was a girl. And she was diagnosed with cancer shortly after. Our baby would have been her first grandchild. In memory of her we decided to give our baby her grandma's middle name. Even though Parker will never know her Grandma Jill, she does share her middle name Elizabeth. Not sure if my story helped any, but it's how we chose her middle name. Another way to help is to look at what his initials will be. Good luck.posted 05/05/2010 by babymagician

NYC Spectra Pipeline Expansion Sparks Resident Concerns About Explosions and Radon
Posted By Sherrell Dorsey On May 6, 2013 @ 11:01 am In Energy,Manhattan,Politics,Water | 1 Comment
Most New Yorkers have heard of the Spectra natural gas pipeline [2] and the dangers it poses – but until recently, it's felt like a vague, far-off worry that may or may not happen. Unfortunately that couldn't be further from the truth, as the pipeline (also referred to as NJ-NY Expansion Project) is already in progress and is set to be complete this fall, bringing with it the very clear and present danger of exposure to radon (a known cancer-causing radioactive gas) and high-pressure gas explosions. The pipeline is being built directly underneath Manhattan's West Village, and residents in the area are very concerned about the possibility of flammable water coming out of their taps as seen in the video after the jump. Their arguments are not unfounded – in 2012 alone, there were 244 pipeline incidents [3] resulting in 10 deaths and over $180 million in damages.
The pipeline received the green light [4] early last year as part of Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC 2030 report [5] to divert reliance upon coal energy. However, activists argue that the potential health, environmental and safety risks of adopting natural gas outweigh the city's efforts to reduce energy costs. "In places where drilling has happened, some homeowners have actually been able to set their faucets on fire," explains a woman activist in the viral video campaign [6] protesting against the pipeline produced by nonprofit group Occupy The Pipeline [7].
Activists have been staging vigils, protests and halting construction [8] against the approved $1.2 billion project to no avail. The new pipeline will distribute 800 million barrels of gas per day directly underneath the West Village and is set to be complete by fall.
In 2004, Spectra's parent company, Duke Energy, caused a 1,000 foot-high fireball [9] explosion due to a faulty valve at its Texas gas facility. According to a report [10] on U.S. pipeline safety, regular inspection of natural gas pipelines is lacking with only 7 percent of pipelines requiring rigorous inspection. With a faulty track record and lack of government safety inspections worry of potential fatal explosions and water poisoning due to the coming pipeline is warranted.
Check out Occupy The Pipeline's viral video above or at this link [11].

As the 19th annual Frederick Festival of the Arts approaches, organizers are seeking volunteers, event coordinator Tammy O'Connor said.
The free, juried festival, to be held in Carroll Creek Linear Park on June 2 and 3, will feature more than 100 artists representing a variety of skills, from jewelry-making to painting. About 40 percent of this year's artists are returning from previous years, O'Connor said.
"It offers a wide variety, and you don't have to travel to D.C. to see well-done art."
The festival will also include two stages of musical performances, Shakespearean performances, children's art activities, canoe rides and food vendors. In past years, the number of attendees has reached 25,000.
O'Connor said the festival is one way Frederick lives up to its title of one of AmericanStyle Magazine's top 25 small cities for art.
Dozens of volunteer opportunities are available, including marking off booth spaces prior to the event, working at the information table, manning the beer and wine garden, greeting visitors and tending booths while artists take restroom or meal breaks, O'Connor said.
All volunteers will receive a catered lunch and a free T-shirt.
To sign up to volunteer, visit http://bit.ly/KqchCD, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 301-662-4190.

Have you ever noticed that the definition of sex isn't really a problem when it's all above board. When both parties are legally, emotionally, and socially entitled to do whatever they want, sex includes all sorts of activities. It can be hardcore and involve the exchange of fluids or it can be mild and intimate and involve little actual genital contact. When there's no guilt to be assigned, sex is whatever lifts your luggage.
But when it is illicit, when cheating and lying gets involved, then sex has very very rigid narrow definitions that let a weasel dance around in declaration of innocence. "I did not have sex with that woman!"
Or, in this case, "Professor Rekers was not involved in any illegal or sexual behavior with his travel assistant."
The Miami New-Times has now provided additional information about the relationship between Dr. George Rekers and Jo-vanni Roman (who prefers to be identified as "Lucian"), his RentBoy/travel assistant/suitcase lifter.
The male escort hired by anti-gay activist George Alan Rekers has told Miami New Times that the Baptist minister is a homosexual who paid him to provide body rubs, once a day, in the nude, during their ten-day vacation in Europe.
Rekers allegedly named his favorite maneuver the "long stroke" — a complicated caress "across his penis, thigh… and his anus over the butt cheeks," as the escort puts it. "Rekers liked to be rubbed down there," he says.
This is probably a lot less hardcore than many folks imagined. And Rekers may insist, "oh, but that isn't sex, I only paid for a massage."
But I think that he may only be playing a game of deception. If, indeed, there is nothing untoward about the services for which Lucian was procured, if Rekers truly believes that there was no "sexual behavior", then why didn't he simply announce, "I hired the young man to accompany me to Europe to give daily nude massage" and let that statement stand on its own?

5 Ways to Save in 2012
2012 is a new beginning! Take time to put some new ideas to work in your financial life. A few small changes can bring you more financial success. Here are some of our favorite money-saving moves:
- Put yourself on an allowance for one month. Keep close track of everything (write it all down!) you spend on discretionary items (food, clothes, entertainment, everything that's negotiable) for a month. Then, on month #2, challenge yourself to come in 20% lower in each category. This is more fun if you have a buddy to do it with, so include your spouse or a friend to provide moral support.
- Use coupons or special offers.You'll save money and you won't be tempted to try items that you won't use or don't like just because they are on sale.Take advantage of special money-saving offers that help you save time and money. Sign up for Iowa State Bank's eStatements and get $10.*
- Don't add to your debt. Develop a "make-do" attitude, and see how long you can go without buying on credit. If you absolutely must borrow or use your credit card, set rules about how much your limit is and how you will pay it off.
- Find out if you're paying too much interest. Like deposit rates, interest rates are at historic lows, so you want to know what average mortgage, consumer loan and credit card rates are. Compare that to what you're paying and see if it's time to negotiate.
- Use online banking and bill pay. Both of these services are free at Iowa State Bank and offer you a way to monitor your spending while saving cash on stamps and envelopes.
Remember, making small changes in how you handle your money will save you the most if they are changes you can maintain over time. Make 2012 the year that you start creating money-saving habits that can last a lifetime.
*The $10 incentive is available for new checking and savings eStatement accounts only. One offer per account. Your $10 incentive will be deposited two business days following enrollment. This offer is available through January 31, 2012.

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [DarkOrbit] FREE-TO-PLAY... DONT BE FOOLED!
yes that is what i am saying. you can always complete (i any game) but you do not really have much chance when it comes to the later level, that is fact. There is about 15-20% of the items you will NEVER have a chance to get which is fairly normal, problem in Do (which most others do not suffer) is that these items a essential at the top levels.
..Dont get me wrong i fully understand that paying user are keeping the servers alive (i develop UNITY games myself so i know the cost of a basic 10k u server) BUT the paying benefits should never create different game classes (as Do does)
This of cause shows on the reg to pay conversion rate in DO which is below norm. people simply give up, even before actually consider real payment.
..Anyway i am out of DO gave my Lvl 11 Goli account to a Noob …he seems happy ;)

Nervous about miscarriage.
I am almost 11 weeks. I was gaining weight, but have since stopped. I still feel sick and tired, but often I get this feeling that I'm not pregnant. I want to take another pregnancy test and am very nervous. I am not sure what is making me feel like this. I have never been pregnant before - am I just being silly?

I lost all my pregnancy symptoms at 10.5 weeks and was also worried. I'm now 16 weeks and all is well, and unfortunately, some of the old--and many new--symptoms returned! Try and relax, don't worry, and enjoy being pregnant! =)posted 11/26/2012 by R.E.R-N
Moms are not meant to gain much weight in the first trimester (~ 5 pounds or so). A pregnant woman's weight gain has no correlation with miscarriage unless you're seriously malnourished and starving and losing weight.posted 11/25/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Thanks to our intrepid friend EGamb from NYC and our very own addiction to watching the Alternate Scenes feature on all of our DVDs, we caught this awesome, nanosecond glimpse of Captain America in Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk.
So obviously we can't tell who's playing Captain America in this, the smallest of all cameos, but the shot is still pretty awesome. Yes, it's not perfect, but you can see clearly the tell-tale shield. Appearing on both the Blu-ray and regular DVD versions, the alternate opening shows Bruce Banner wandering around the Antarctic emo-style, trying not to get enraged when, surprise, he Hulks out.
The sequence is 2:25 long, and the cameo comes right near the end as an avalanche crashes down toward the camera. So grab your DVDs and check it out for yourself.
Personally, I can only hope the next time these two are in a film, they're battling each other and tearing down an entire city block or causing another massive avalanche.
Editor's Note: The photo above is the highest resolution screencap we could get. You should be able to see the Shield, and Captain America in the ice. Also, we have received the following photo from another reader, which outlines Captain America in the ice:

Market Wrap
Wednesday's market wrap covers the duo of labor market reports that reached the wire, the ADP Private Employment report and the Challenger, Gray & Christmas Announced Corporate Layoffs data. Also find coverage of the MBA's Weekly Applications data, EIA's Petroleum Status Report and ISM's Non-Manufacturing Index.
"The Greek" earned clients a 23% average annual return over five years as a stock analyst on Wall Street. While writing for Wall Street Greek and others, he presciently predicted the financial crisis and housing and banking failures of the Great Recession. Visit the front pages of Wall Street Greek now to see our current coverage of business news, the global economy & financial markets, real estate, shipping, fine art & antiquities and global affairs.

Market Wrap
Two labor market reports keyed Wednesday's wire, with the ADP and Challenger data points published. This report has been prepared differently than our usual publishing. You will find it purely factual, but continue to look for our value added analysis in future works. That said, we believe this information is important and should be reviewed and understood by readers, and so we are providing it.
Challenger Job-Cuts Report
Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported on Announced Corporate Layoffs Wednesday. Challenger's last report for the month of June showed planned job-cuts numbered 39,358, up from 38,810 in May. July's data was little different, with announced layoffs numbering 41,676. That said, we see August layoffs coming as the average workweek has shrunk of late and manufacturing activity is cooling.
ADP's Private Employment Report
ADP's Private Employment Report came due Wednesday morning, offering a prelude to Friday's DOL labor data point. After the data showed private employment increased by 19K in June (revised up from 13K), the report indicated private employers added 42,000 jobs in July. In June, the Department of Labor's data followed up ADP by showing private payrolls increased by 83K. Economists see the DOL's data showing a 100K increase in private payrolls and a 70K decrease in total nonfarm payrolls, which include public sector activity.
MBA's Weekly Mortgage Applications
The Mortgage Bankers Association reported on Weekly Applications as usual in the premarket Wednesday. In the week ended July 30, the Market Composite of mortgage application activity increased by 1.3%. The Purchase Index improved by 1.5%, and as average contracted mortgage rates eased a bit, the Refinance Index also gained 1.3%. The average contracted rates on 30-year and 15-year fixed rate mortgages moved lower to 4.6% (from 4.69%) and 4.03% (from 4.12%), respectively.
ISM's Non-Manufacturing Index
ISM reported on its Non-Manufacturing Index Wednesday. The index fell to its lowest level since February in June, falling 1.6 points to 53.8%. Economists were looking for a lower reading in July, to 53.0%, but the service sector bounced as ISM's measure showed a gain to 54.3%.
EIA Petroleum Status Report
The EIA reports on Petroleum Status at 10:30 each Wednesday. This week's report covering the period ended July 30 showed crude oil inventory decreased by 2.8 million barrels (increased week before by 7.3 million). Crude levels remain above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year. Gasoline stores increased by 0.7 million barrels and are also above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year.

Sample Submission and Collection
Sample Submission
Samples can be submitted in fixative, fresh (on ice), or frozen. Contact the lab prior to sample submission, and provide a completed Comparative Pathology Request Form (Excel document) with your samples. Please submit electronically via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Submission of fresh or frozen tissues
- Drop off in the lab between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
- Arrange their pick-up with the lab staff (contact firstname.lastname@example.com).
Submission of fixed tissues
- Drop off in the lab between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.
- Drop off in the designated hood in Masonic Cancer Research Building (MCRB) room 580
- Samples are picked up once a week on Tuesday mornings. Because pickup times vary, please have your samples in the hood by Monday evening. Make sure that all samples are well labeled and that the labels match those on the submission form.
- The MCRB room 580 hood contains limited supplies of small containers and formalin. These supplies are designated for small studies and for investigators using our core services for the first time.
Turn-around time
- Projects will be completed in the order they were received.
- For the technical portions of the projects (routine histology and established IHC protocols) the turn-around time is 1-2 weeks.
Pick-up of produced materials
- Produced slides, paraffin blocks or other materials will be left in the MCRB room 580 hood after notification of project completion.
- Due to limited freezer space in our facility, frozen tissues must be picked up 4 weeks after project completion date.
Sample Collection
- 10% neutral buffered formalin is the most commonly used fixative
- To assure good sample quality, collect samples as soon as possible after the death of the animal
- For thorough fixation, tissue to formalin ratio should be 1:10
- Transfer samples into 70% ethanol after complete fixation in formalin (usually overnight up to 24h for mouse tissues) if IHC procedure will be applied to the formalin fixed tissues.
- Please use wide mouth containers for fixed specimens. Tissues become rigid in fixative and can not be removed from the containers with narrow necks.
Whole mouse submissions
- If submitting the entire mouse, open thoracic and abdominal cavities to expose internal organs to fixative
- Ensure that there is adequate amount of formalin and the container has a wide mouth.

"It was really quick," said Wil Alston, spokesman for the Denver Department of Finance.
Purchases of the $500 bonds appeared to be limited to online buyers who acted fast and others who hand-delivered order forms ahead of the 8 a.m. sale, Alston said.
That left everyone else out of luck. Some callers to The Denver Post expressed frustration that the bonds went on sale online two hours before they were to be available at a city-designed Vectra Bank branch.
Only Colorado residents could buy the bonds, and the city set a limit of 40 bonds per person, or $20,000 worth. Alston said preliminary estimates put the number of buyers around 1,000, meaning the average buyer bought roughly 24 bonds. Firmer figures will be available when sales are processed in the next week or two.
The mini-bonds, offered for the fifth time since 1990, were divided into two categories, both costing $500 and offering tax-free interest. A nine-year bond earns a 50 percent return in nine years, paying back $750 upon maturation. And a 14-year bond doubles, paying back $1,000.
The website for the mini-bonds got heavy traffic in the hour before the sale began this morning.
The mini-bonds will finance the final portion of the $550 million Better Denver Bond Program, approved by voters in 2007 to fix roads and civic buildings.
"We are pleased with the strong response from Colorado citizens," Deputy Mayor Cary Kennedy, also the city's chief financial officer, said in a news release issued Monday afternoon. "Coloradans have proved once again they value the investments we are making in Denver and want to be a part of Denver's success."
A message on the city's website after the bonds were sold out said: "Thank you, Colorado, for your overwhelming response to the 2014 Denver Mini-Bonds. Coloradans purchased all of the Denver Mini-Bonds available — a total of $12 million — before the end of our planned order period.
"We are thrilled to be able to use the proceeds from these bonds to complete the final phases of the Better Denver projects approved by Denver voters, particularly improvements to the city's outstanding cultural facilities."

Failure to prevent multiple simultaneous enrollment in clinical trials and inaccuracies in subjects' medical histories have become a serious problem in the clinical research world. Study volunteers interested in free care or compensation may present inaccurate information in order to gain entry to clinical trials, and some may jump from one study to another without waiting for enough time to lapse between treatments. This type of research volunteer places everyone at risk including the drug manufacturer, the research site, and most importantly, themselves, potentially jeopardizing their health. Furthermore, this may compromise data quality.

Gateway Arch project might be delayed by dispute
Thursday, November 7, 2013
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Plans for a $380 million renovation of the Gateway Arch grounds in St. Louis could be delayed up to four months because of a dispute between a nonprofit partner and the federal park service over a contract for tram rides at the monument.
The National Park Service's construction advisory board didn't approve the project Wednesday after a presentation by Arch grounds officials in Denver. The board's approval is required before bidding and construction can begin and the board doesn't meet again until March, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported (http://bit.ly/HCaPDv ).
One of the project's main partners, the CityArchRiver 2015 Foundation, refused to provide several agreements it has with the park service for the presentation. Those agreements dictate the entities' relationship, including how the nonprofit raises money, how that money is donated to the Arch grounds and how the organization provides for ongoing maintenance and operations.
Officials with the nonprofit, which is raising private funds and leading renovation designs, said they are upset a separate contract concerning operation of the Arch trams hasn't been signed.
"We weren't able to pull the trigger (Wednesday)," said Tom Bradley, superintendent of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, which includes the Arch grounds. "It's not a good thing. It slows us down."
Walter Metcalfe, chairman of the CityArchRiver board, said he withheld the agreements because the park service has not signed a new contract with Metro Transit, which runs the trams that carry visitors up the 630-foot Arch and uses the proceeds from the rides to maintain the trams. Metcalfe said he wants to be sure Metro continues to receive funds from the rides because the trams need maintenance and repairs.
"We said we're not going to pay for things you haven't taken care of. We're here to do new stuff," Metcalfe said of the renovation designs. "We want to make sure — because this is never going to be a federal bailout — that the visitors' money stays in St. Louis."
Metcalfe noted CityArchRiver has $105 million, with pledges of close to another $45 million.
Bradley agreed the contract with Metro should have been signed, saying it is caught up in bureaucracy.
Project leaders are pushing to have the renovation done by the Arch's 50th anniversary in October 2015.

Missouri uses $100M from budget reserve fund
Tuesday, April 3, 2012
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri is tapping a state budget reserve fund for cash flow purposes.
The state Office of Administration said Tuesday that $100 million was borrowed from the reserve fund in March.
It's the third time money has been used from the reserve in the budget year that began last July. The state used $75 million from the reserve in December and $150 million in February. All $325 million borrowed from the fund is to be repaid by May 15.
Officials also said Tuesday that state revenue through the first nine months of the budget year has grown 2.5 percent over last year. That is slightly behind the 2.7 percent growth rate on which the budget is based, but close enough that officials don't expect additional cuts will be needed this year.

The Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance (S-DVI) program gives you life insurance if you left service after April 24, 1951, and have a service-connected disability. If you are a veteran who has a service-connected disability, but are otherwise in good health, you may apply to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for up to $10,000 in life insurance coverage. You must apply within 2 years after the VA tells you the disability has been rated as service-connected. S-DVI is available in a variety of permanent plans as well as term insurance. Policies are issued for a maximum amount of $10,000. You are not eligible for S-DVI if you were released from active duty under dishonorable conditions.
If you are a veteran who is totally disabled, you may apply for a waiver of premiums, which means you don't have to pay them. If you are eligible for this waiver, you can also get up to $30,000 in extra coverage, called Supplementary S-DVI. However, if you get Supplementary S-DVI, you will have to pay the premiums for the extra coverage. For more information on service-connected disabilities, read Vets101's articles on VA Disability Compensation, and VA Special Monthly Compensation.

Dally M red carpet glamour
The stars of the NRL and their partners grace the red carpet ahead of the Dally M Awards.PT1M54S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ure3 620 349 October 2, 2013
Grand final, what grand final? Like the award to come, the impending Sydney derby was a mere distraction from the Dally M's red carpet on Tuesday.
Living up to its colourful reputation, the selection of gowns on show had it all - sparkles, plunging backs and high hemlines.
NRL theme songstress Jessica Mauboy broke from what appeared to be the theme of the evening - black and white - in a hot pink and contrasting orange lace gown.

Away from the monochrome, it was sequins, sequins and more sequins for NRL WAGs as the Star teemed with broad-shouldered tuxedos.
Doing it in tried-and-tested style were Mrs Anthony Minichiello and Mrs Braith Anasta, who had their own rivalry to play out on the red carpet.
Reportedly up in arms over bridal gown feuds and wedding days spats, Terry Biviano and Jodi Anasta shared more than a chequered history: both women are pregnant, with Biviano expecting her first child in December and Anasta due around March.
Sara Huegill, in black lace, also sported a baby bump, alongside swimmer husband Geoff Huegill.
Elle Watmough, wife of the silvertails' enforcer Anthony, debuted in style, wearing a pale aqua lace Steven Khalil number.
But among the 700 players, WAGs, celebrities and officials, there was one woman who had invested more than most in the game. Wearing on trend black and white, league mum queen bee Julie Burgess was escorted along the red carpet with her four South Sydney player sons.
Ever the diplomat, NRL chief executive Dave Smith said Sunday's showdown between the Roosters and the Sea Eagles was too close to call.
