High Estrogen and High FSH(4 posts) (3 voices)
Does anyone know what my high estrogen could mean? Is it good or bad? All that I have read is that estrogen should drop with POF????
What is your FSH? I have been diagnosed with POF. My highest FSH was 67.3. I don't remember what my estrogen was at. I just had another FSH test done this past Monday, August 16th, on cycle day 14 and it came back at 19.3. When I was tested at 67.3, my doctor put me on estrogen patches and said I would not have anymore periods and that he would have to start them for me. Well I had two very healthy periods two months after he told me this. I went in on the 16th for a follow up from being on the patches for 6 wks. He did an intrauterine sonogram and found 3 folicles on my right ovary. He was shocked to see any. He then ordered the FSH, estrogen and pogesterone test. I will go back on cycle day three to get a better reading. He said he expected my FSH to be high during mid cycle. My husgand and I had given up hope for another child and started getting on with life. We had done three cycles of COH and nothing happened. When we started the injections, my FSH was 14 on cycle day 3. It had jumped to 67.3 in nine months. I have done nothing in the way of changing my diet. I just gave up hope for another child and focused on the one healthy three year old we do have. I think maybe being relaxed may have played a part in my FSH level dropping. I cannot wait to see what it comes back at on cycle day 3!! If it is low enough, we will do another round of injections (COH).
hello, I was trying to follow your words...but at the end you said your FSH was 14 then in 9 months went up to 67.3. Then you speak of just relaxing and it went down again. Is that what happened? If so good for you!! Good luck on your next round of meds. What is COH??? I dont know if I really have POF or what. I think I have diminished ovarian reserve. My FSH was 16 & E2 was 120, then my FSH was 3.2 & E2 was 101. Now my FSH is 15 & E2 is normal. My RE wants me to start meds next cycle. He will also take a second look via ultra sound.
He says I am boarder line. Who knows. Did you do IVF? or injections with IUI?
Yes that is what happened. COH is Controlled Ovulatory Hyperstimulation. That is the injectable drugs. NO IVF. You can either have sex or they will do IUI (Intrauterine insemination). It depends on how well your husband's sperm is if they do IUI. You inject the drugs and they monitor your follicles, lining of your uterus and your estrogen level. When everything is where it should be, they have you inject HCG and you come back in 48 hours for IUI or you have sex when they tell you to.

Carla Chifos
Title: Associate Professor, PhD Coordinator
Office: 6280A Daa Addition
Tel: 513-556-4943
Email: email@example.com
Dr. Carla Chifos, AICP, has interests that include sustainable development, urban environment and international development. Her dissertation research was "Urban neighborhoods and the natural environment: examples from the city of Jakarta". This work was the culmination of three years in Indonesia with funding from the United States Agency for International Development and close collaborations with the Ministry for National Planning. She has continued specializing in Southeast Asia and has carried out research on urban environmental and community development issues in Indonesia as well as in Thailand. Her forthcoming book, co-edited with Ruth Yabes, entitled Southeast Asian Urban Environments: Spontaneous and Structured, will highlight some of her research findings. In addition to this international focus, Dr. Chifos is also pursuing research in the area of sustainable development and how it applies to urban and community development in US cities. The results of her research are being applied to her courses, both seminar and workshop formats, to integrate the concepts of sustainable development, livable communities, smart growth, and eco-cities, into urban and community planning. With relation to these topics she has tried to integrate out-of-class experiences for the students. For example, students in her course "Sustainable Development and the City" attended the "National Town Meeting for Sustainable Development" which was sponsored by the President's Council for Sustainable Development in Detroit, May 1999 and went to Lexington, Kentucky to learn about and see the results of the growth management strategies of Fayette County.

4 Companies Going the Wrong Way This Earnings Season
The S&P 500 hit new highs in April, but earnings aren't always following suit. Consider these four surprising powerhouses expected to post lower earnings than last year.
The S&P 500 hit new highs in April, but earnings aren't always following suit. Consider these four surprising powerhouses expected to post lower earnings than last year.
In the past four years, the stock market posted some of its most impressive gains ever as it bounced back from the financial crisis. But not every stock made it to the party.
After barreling through a record the day before, the Dow Jones industrial average meandered higher on Wednesday. The DJIA edged up 42.47 points to close at 14,296.24. An encouraging job-market report helped nudge the stock market up and pushed bond prices lower. The question now is, how much longer can it keep climbing?
One of the best things about shopping online was how easy the Web made it to compare prices so you could be sure you were getting the best deals. Not anymore: Now, many companies are using your personal data to decide what prices to offer you for their products.
When it comes to upgrading your life for a new year, dispelling the clutter around you is a great place to start.
The battle for your holiday spending dollars is well under way, and it's not too soon to start handicapping 2012's likely winners. Some may be obvious (like Amazon), but others may surprise you. Here's how the holiday shopping season is shaking out across the retail landscape.
Every Friday, we hunt down the best deals, freebies and limited-time offers available for the coming week. Our favorites: free Doritos Locos Tacos, free portraits, big office supply discounts, and an early price cut on the Nexus 7 tablet.
It's going to be a busy week for retailers as more than a dozen publicly traded chains offer up their latest quarterly financials. But regardless of how popular a diversion shopping is, don't assume that crowded malls are translating into blowout results for major retailers.
Ready or not, it's time for back-to-school season. Like the Christmas shopping season, it seems to begin earlier every year, and you have to play the game if you want to catch the sales. Or do you? Personal finance guru Jean Chatzky has some surprising advice for parents.
There's a cola war brewing that has nothing to do with Coke or Pepsi: It's in the home-based pop market, and the fight is between SodaStream and Primo Water. But why make your own soda at home instead of buying it at the store? Is it easier? Cheaper? Healthier? You're probably going to like all three answers.
There's never a dull moment on Wall Street, especially when new tablets and old banks are in the way. Let's go over some of the items that will help shape the week ahead: The Kindle Fire, the Nook Tablet, and earnings reports from Sears, Gap, Hot Topic, Lowes Home Depot and Staples.
From Nov. 1 until Christmas, Walmart says it will match prices with its rivals retroactively. Buy now, and if anyone advertises an identical product for a better price, go back to Walmart and claim a refund for the difference. But of course there's a catch -- more than one, in fact.

Sunglasses Not Only For Fashion
By: DerikBrian |
Sunglasses are used in the strong sunlight in most cases. They can make your eyes far away from the UV radiation. Excessive exposure to ultraviolent rays from the sun would cause potential eye problems. And young people are more susceptible to the UV radiation because they spend more time on outdoor activities. Therefore, they should prefer to wear sunglasses when they are under the strong sunshine.

Annotations for
Worst Hurricanes of All Time
Capstone Pr Inc
"Powerful gusts and heavy rains starting in the ocean can mean only one thing: hurricane! The storm's forceful winds can uproot trees and send cars flitting through the air. From Hurricane Katrina to the Great Hurricane of 1780, stand up to the storm surges and read about the worst hurricanes in history."

"We turn now to the issue of what constitutes an appropriate punishment for your various infractions," said the judge in the middle, the gray-haired one whose name Jaywalker always had trouble remembering. "Disbarment certainly occurred to us, and would no doubt be fully deserved, were it not for your long years of service to the bar, your quite obvious devotion to your clients, as well as your considerable legal skills, reflected in your current string of, what was it you told us? Ten consecutive acquittals?"
"Eleven, actually," said Jaywalker.
"Eleven. Very impressive. That said, a substantial period of suspension is still in order. A very substantial period. Your transgressions are simply too numerous, and too serious, to warrant anything less. Bringing in a lookalike for a defendant in order to confuse a witness, for example. Impersonating a judge to trick a police officer into turning over his notes. Breaking into the evidence room in order to have your own chemist analyze some narcotics. Referring to a judge, on the record, asand I shall paraphrase herea small portion of excrement. And finally, though by no means least of all, receiving, shall we say, a 'sexual favor' from a client in the stairwell of the courthouse"
"It wasn't a sexual favor, Your Honor."
"Please don't interrupt me."
"Sorry, sir."
"And you can deny it all you want, but my colleagues and I have been forced to watch the videotape from the surveillance camera several times throughcomplete, I might add, with what appears to be you moaning. Now I don't know what you would call it, but"
"It was nothing but a spontaneous act of gratitude, Your Honor, from an overly appreciative client. She'd just been acquitted of a trumped-up prostitution charge. And if only there'd been a sound track, you'd know I wasn't moaning at all. I was saying, 'No! No! No!'"
Actually, there was some truth to that.
"Are you a married man, Mr. Jaywalker?"
"I'm a widower, sir. As a matter of fact, I'd been distraught over my wife's death."
"I see." That seemed to give the judge pause, though only briefly. "When did she die?"
"It was a Thursday. June ninth, I believe."
"This year?"
"Uh, no, sir."
"Last year?"
There was an awkward silence.
"This millennium?"
"Not exactly."
"I see," said the judge.
Sternbridge, that was his name. Should have been easy enough for Jaywalker to have remembered.
"The court," Sternbridge was saying now, "hereby suspends you from the practice of law for a period of three years, following which you shall be required to reapply to the Committee on Character and Fitness." He raised his gavel. But Jaywalker, who'd been to an auction or two with his late wife, back in the previous millennium, beat him to it just before he could bring the thing down.
"If it please the court?"
Sternbridge peered at him over his reading glasses, momentarily disarmed by Jaywalker's rare lapse into court-speak. Jaywalker took that as an invitation to continue.
"In spite of the fact that I knew this day of reckoning was coming, Your Honor, I find I still have a number of pending cases. Many involve clients in extremely precarious situations. These are people who've put their lives in my hands. While I'm fully prepared to accept the court's punishment, I beg you to let me see these matters through to completion. Please, please, don't take out your dissatisfaction with me on these helpless people. Add a year to my suspension, if you like. Add two. But let me finish helping them."
The three judges mumbled to each other, then swiveled around on their chairs and huddled, their black-robed backs to the courtroom. When they swung back a minute later, it was the one on the right, the woman named Ellerbee, who addressed Jaywalker.
"You will be permitted to complete five cases," she said. "Provide us with a list of those you choose to retain by the end of court business tomorrow, complete with a docket or indictment number, the judge to which each case is assigned, and the next scheduled court date. The remainder of your clients will be reassigned to other counsel. As for the five cases you'll be keeping, you'll be required to appear before us the first Friday of every month, so that you can give us a detailed progress report on your efforts to dispose of them."
Dispose of them. Didn't she understand that these weren't diapers or toilet paper or plastic razors? They were people.
"Understood?" Judge Ellerbee was asking him.
"Understood," said Jaywalker.
"Thank you."
That night, working in his cramped, poorly lit office well past midnight, Jaywalker did his best to pare the list down. But it was like having to choose which people to throw out of a life raft. How could he abandon a fourteen-year-old kid who'd trusted him enough to accept a yearlong commitment to a residential drug program? Or an illegal alien facing deportation to the Sudan for the unforgivable crime of selling ladies' handbags with an expired vendor's permit? Or a homeless woman fighting for the right to visit her two small children in a shelter once a month? How did he tell a former gang member that the lawyer it had taken him two years to open up to and confide in was suddenly going to be replaced by a name chosen at random off a computer-generated list? How would he write to a completely innocent inmate doing fifteen-to-life in Sing Sing to say that he wouldn't be getting an attorney's visit any longer, come the first Saturday of the month? Or a retarded janitor's helper that his next lawyer might not be willing to hold his hand and squeeze it tightly each time they stood before the judge, so the poor man wouldn't have to shake uncontrollably and wet his pants in front of a courtroom of laughing strangers?
In the end, with a great deal of difficulty, Jaywalker managed to get the list down to a pretty manageable seventeen names. He printed it out and submitted it to the judges the following afternoon, along with a lengthy apology that it was the best he could possibly do, followed by a fervent appeal to their understanding. A week later, a letter arrived from the court, informing him that the court had trimmed the list down to ten, and warning him not to drag out any of the cases unnecessarily.
His name wasn't really Jaywalker, of course. Once it had been Harrison J. Walker. But he hated Harrison, which had struck him as overly pretentious and WASPy, for as long as he could remember being aware of such things. And he hated Harry even more, associating it with a bald head, a potbelly and the stub of a day-old cigar. So, long ago, he'd taken to calling himself Jay Walker, and somewhere along the line someone had blurred that into Jaywalker. Which had been all right with him; the truth was, he'd never had the patience to stand on a curb waiting for a light without a pair of eyes of its own to tell him whether it was safe to cross or not, or the discipline to walk from midblock to corner to midblock again, all in order to end up directly across from where he'd started out in the first place. He answered his office phone (his soon-to-be former office phone) "Jaywalker," responded unthinkingly to "Mr. Jaywalker," and when asked on some form or other to supply a surname or a given name (for the life of him, he'd never been able to figure out which was which), he simply wrote "Jaywalker" in both blanks, resulting in a small but not insignificant portion of his mail arriving addressed to "Mr. Jaywalker Jaywalker." It was sort of like being Major Major, he decided, or Woolly Woolly. Names, he'd come to believe, were vastly overrated.
His office wasn't really an office at all. What it was, was a room in a suite of offices that surrounded a center hallway, which in turn served as a combination conference room, library and lunchroom. The arrangement, which was repeated throughout the building and a dozen others in the area, enabled sole practitioners such as himself to practice on a shoestring. For five hundred dollars the first of the month, he got a place to put a desk, a couple of chairs, a secondhand couch, a clothes tree, and some cardboard boxes that he liked to think of as portable file cabinets. On top of the desk went his phone, his answering machine, his computer, various piles of paper and faded photos of his departed wife and semi-estranged daughter. For no extra charge, he got the use of not only the aforementioned conference/library/lunchroom, but a modest waiting room, a receptionist, a copier and a fax machine, all circa 1995, except for the receptionist, who was considerably older.
There was no restroom in the suite, only a MEN'S and a WOMEN'S down the hall and past the elevator bank. On nights when Jaywalker ended up sleeping on the sofaand since there was nobody back at his apartment to go home to, those nights were more than occasional, especially when he was in the midst of a trialthe men's room was where he brushed his teeth, washed his face and shaved. It was only the absence of a shower, in fact, that forced him to go home as often as he did.
Jaywalker's suitemates (a word he'd grown especially fond of, ever since the spellcheck feature on his computer had tried to correct it to sodomites) included two P.I. lawyers (the initials standing for personal injury, a considerably more polite designation than the also-used A.C. for ambulance chaser); an immigration practitioner named Herman Greenberg, who, in a stroke of marketing genius, had had his business cards printed on green card stock, forever earning himself the aka Herman Greencard; a bankruptcy specialist known in-house as "Fuck-the-Creditors" Feinblatt; an older guy who did nothing but chain-smoke, cough, read the Law Journal and handle real estate closings; and a woman who didn't seem to do much of anything at all but wait for her next Big Case to walk through the door, her last Big Case having walked out the door fifteen years ago.
Jaywalker was the only criminal defense lawyer in the suite. For one reason or another, criminal defense lawyers have always been pretty much solo practitioners, and those who've attempted to organize them into groups or associations, or even gather them under a single roof, have tended to come away from the experience feeling as though they've been trying to line up snakes single file.
But flying solo had always suited Jaywalker just fine. He'd spent two years at the Legal Aid Society, where he'd found quite enough collegiality, and nearly enough bedmates, to last him a lifetime. There he'd also learned how to try a caseor, more precisely, how not to.
Once he'd cut the cord and gone out into private practice, Jaywalker had gradually retaught himself. Over the next twenty years, he earned a reputation as a renegade among renegades. It was almost as though he was determined to give new meaning to the term unorthodox. He broke every rule in the book, defied all the axioms ever preached about how to try a case, and in the process managed to infuriate at least a score of seasoned prosecutors and otherwise unflappable judges. But he also built a record unlike anything ever seen outside Hollywood or television land. In a business where district attorneys' offices routinely boasted of conviction rates of anywhere from sixty-five to ninety-five percent, and where many defense lawyers heard the words Not guilty only at an arraignment, Jaywalker achieved an acquittal rate of just over ninety percent.
How did he do it?
If asked, he probably couldn't have explained it nearly as well as he did it. But those who watched him work on a regular basisand there was a large and growing number who didinvariably pointed to a single phenomenon. By the time a Jaywalker jury retired to deliberate on a case, they'd come to understand, truly understand, that it wasn't their job to figure out whether or not the defendant had committed the crime. Rather, it was their job to figure out whether, based upon the evidence produced in the courtroom, or the lack of such evidence, the prosecution had succeeded in proving that the defendant had committed the crime, and whether it had done so beyond all reasonable doubt.
The difference proved to be staggering.
By the time he stood before the three judges who would deliver his punishment, Jaywalker had become something of a legend in his own time at 100 Centre Street. But his success hadn't come without a price. For one thing, he drove himself relentlessly, demanding of himself that he come into court not only better prepared than his adversary but ten times better prepared, fifty times better prepared. He slept almost not at all when he was on trial, and when he did, it was with pen and paper within reach, so that he could jot down random thoughts in the dark and try to decipher them come morning. He planned for every conceivable contingency, agonized over every detail, and organized with the fanaticism of the obsessive-compulsive he was. Walking out of the courthouse after yet another acquittal, he would look upward and utter thanks to a god he didn't believe in, followed by a prayer that he might never have to go through the ordeal another time.
But, of course, there always was another time.
His remarkable record, even as it earned him the admiration of his colleagues in the criminal defense bar, also created a problem for them, in much the same way that the acquittal of a former football star and minor celebrity, three thousand miles away and a decade earlier, had created a problem for them. "If he can do it," their clients demanded to know, "why can't you?" It was perhaps no surprise, therefore, that many of those who'd attended Jaywalker's punishment hearing, almost all of whom admired him on a professional level, liked him personally and in most respects truly wished him well, also secretly rejoiced at the thought of being rid of him, if only for a while.
But even to the most relieved of them, three years had seemed like a rather stiff suspension for blowing off a few rules and succumbing to something that didn't sound so different, when you got right down to it.
All of that had been back in September.
It had taken Jaywalker until the following June, and the ninth first-Friday-of-the-month appearance before the three-judge panel, to report that he'd succeeded in disposing of virtually all of his remaining clients.
The fourteen-year-old kid in the drug program was now fifteen, drug-free and in aftercare. The Sudanese handbag salesman had been granted permanent residence status, thanks to a little help from Herman Greencard. The homeless woman had an apartment of her own, a job and custody of her two children. The former gang member had relapsed, jumped bail and fled to southern California, from where he sent Jaywalker postcards picturing scantily-clad (or nonclad) sunbathers. The Sing Sing inmate's appeal had been heard, and a decision was expected shortly. The pants-wetter's case had been dismissed. A drunk driver had pleaded guilty to operating a motor vehicle while impaired. A minor drug dealer had settled for a sentence of probation. And a three-card-monte player had been acquitted once Jaywalker had convinced a jury that the man's skill in conning his victims was so consummate that it completely negated the "game of chance" element required by the language of the statute.
Nine months, nine cases, nine clients, nine pretty good results.
Leaving exactly one.

Bottom Lounge, Chicago, IL
Florida as of late, has churned out dozens of young bands trying to gain recognition, but none have broken out quite as well as Orlando's Sleeping with Sirens. Influenced by bands like Drop Dead Gorgeous and rock bands like Dance Gavin Dance, Sleeping with Sirens finds a harmonious balance between melody and aggressive breakdowns. Having sold over 16,000 records on their debut album and touring with bands like From First to Last and Sky Eats Airplane to Haste The Day and Enter Shikari, Sleeping with Sirens prove that it's entirely possible for newcomers to kick down doors and burst onto the scene. With a live energy that matches the intensity of the recording, SWS are going to be turning heads for anyone within earshot of a pair of speakers. Their new record is to be released on the 10th of May, 2011 and has sparked the intrest of many fans already! Look out for this band to rise up in 2011!

As underlining or bolding are very specific operations depending strongly on the OS, why not use good old simple textual measures to get the readers attention, e.g.

AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- An Aiken man is facing two charges of criminal sexual conduct after allegedly assaulting two disabled women.
Billy Joe Sanders is being held at the Aiken County Detention Center.
Officials say both alleged assaults happened this summer.
Both Sanders and the victims were being served at the same community agency for individuals with disabilities. Although, the incident did not take place there.

Gunmen Kill 17 at Gay Party In Mexico
Jim Burroway
July 19th, 2010
In one of the worst single-incident killings in Mexico's drug war, gunmen opened fire at a party in the northern Mexican city of Torreon, killing 17 men and women and injuring another 18. Officials counted 122 spent shells from assault rifles.
"The party was ongoing … when gunmen arrived in several vehicles, disembarked and, without uttering a word to those in attendance, opened fire," Jesus Torres, state attorney general, said in a statement. The assailants fled.
The party was organized by a gay group and was being held at the Italia Inn in Torreon, Coahuila. The event was organized via facebook, and was "open to all." Investigators suspect drug traffickers were behind the massacre. The northern city of Torreon has become a drug smuggling transfer point for entry into the U.S.
Coahuila, a mostly rural state which shares a border with Texas, passed a civil unions bill in 2007, becoming the only state outside of Mexico City to do so.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Next time a big bank fails, don't expect buyer to swoop in quickly, like JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) did following the epic failure of Washington Mutual in September 2008.
When JPMorgan bought the failed Washington Mutual Bank (not the holding company) from the Federal Deposit insurance Corp. for $1.9 billion, it became the largest U.S. bank by deposits, and added over 2,200 branches. JPM at that time said that "Excluded from the transaction are the senior unsecured debt, subordinated debt, and preferred stock of Washington Mutual's banks. JPMorgan Chase will not be acquiring any assets or liabilities of the banks' parent holding company (WM) or the holding company's non-b bank subsidiaries."
In March of 2008, in a deal that was pushed by the Federal Reserve, JPMorgan had acquied Bear Stearns, which faced imminent bankruptcy as its liquidity dried up.
JPMorgan's landmark $13 billion residential mortage-backed securities (RMBS) settlement on Tuesday with the Department of Justice and other government authorities, and a previous $4.5 billion RMBS settlement with a group of institutional investors on Nov. 15, bring the bank's fourth-quarter mortgage litigation tab to at least $17.5 billion.
"Roughly 75%" of those combined settlement expenses were "driven by legacy WaMu and Bear issues," according to Goldman Sachs analyst Richard Ramsden.
In a note to clients on Thusday, Ramsden wrote that "When combined with previously announced economic losses, this has reduced what were forecasted to be mid-teens [internal rate of return, or] IRR deals into a negative $2bn P&L impact so far." On a more positive note, Ramsden added that "this doesn't fully capture the fact that the Bear deal helped JPM grow its revenue market share in U.S. capital markets from 19% (06-07) to 25%, while the WaMu deal filled key geographic 'holes' in CA, FL and WA."
But what it means to bank regulators is that the next time a major U.S. bank fails, major players may be very reluctant to do the government a favor by preventing a bankruptcy (as JPM did with the Bear Stearns deal), or preventing a painful FDIC receivership, which would have included billions of dollars to depositors, as JPMorgan did when it agreed to take on all of Washington Mutual's deposits, including the uninsured ones. The Washington Mutual failure occured before the basic deposit insurance limit was raised to $250,000 from $100,000, and before the FDIC temporarily lifted all deposit insurance limits on business checking accounts.
Through the Dodd-Frank banking reform legislation, Basel III and the great strengthening of supervision, regulators are hoping not to see another failure of a major U.S. bank, but in the event of another liquidity or credit crisis, a speedy acquisition of a large, flailing bank is unlikely.
"In the aftermath of these deals, future acquisitions of distressed banks are unlikely, in our view. This means regional banks may have to be self-resolvable and could be subject to new regulatory requirements on 'bail-inable' debt, Ramsden wrote.
JPM Is a 'Buy,' Despite WaMu, Says Goldman
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Next time a big bank fails, don't expect buyer to swoop in quickly, like JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report) did following the epic failure of Washington Mutual in September 2008.

How much faith do you have in your hockey team tonight?
Re: How much faith do you have in your hockey team tonight?

Re: How much faith do you have in your hockey team tonight?
posted at 5/27/2011 1:21 PM EDTIn Response to Re: How much faith do you have in your hockey team tonight?:It's hard not to agree with that because all you are doing is setting yourself up for a crappy weekend from what is a traditional right of passage under Jacobs: A collapse. Let's be honest, if they lose, it will look as bad as last year's collapse because of Period 2 in TB in Game 4. They had the momentum and handed it back. Then, they had a chance to finish in Game 6 and were outplayed again. I don't want to see my team outplayed. That's my only complaint. If they can somehow win this game, all we be forgiven/forgotten in this area (being outplayed). You have to admit, though, they have been outplayed. And the fact we've waited 20 years for a Conf FInals appearance, and they get outplayed? That won't sit well. I don;'t mind losing due to excellence by the other team, but I sometimes question the lack of fire and casual nature of this team. I don't get it. There is no tomorrow. If they don't come out and hit everyone in sight and continue to do it for 60 minutes, with fierce skating, but not putting yourself out of position, I'll agree with your father. My father is actually more negative than myself. Speaks volumes about the damage Jacobs did here, post Orr. They, the team, can make this a complete non-issue by winning this game. No time for talk. Show us. However, if they do win, I think it puts them into another gear for Vancouver. I really do. I can see this being like the Montreal series and then them going into an overdrive level, not sweeping Vancouver, but making their underdog status look less of an issue than some national pundits would believe. They match up well with Vancouver. I think they match up well with TB, but TB has outplayed Boston.
Posted by RidingWithTheKing
I guess you might as well expect rain on your summer vacation too. If the Bruins won it all I think you'd have trouble coming up with something(other than the Jacobs) to talk about. I've seen and experienced the exact same heartache as you since '72 but I'm still expecting a victory tonight. They haven't let me down this year so I'm sticking by them. You should try sticking by a team sometime. It makes the victories more rewarding and I mean ,really, does expecting a loss make it less painful?

posted at 5/27/2011 1:49 PM EDTHey King, your thoughts about Jacobs, like so many before you are so foolish. You say he wants a good bottom line and I concur. I own two businesses and that's what I strive for. To that end; The big money is the playoffs!!!! It is $ above and beyond what is budgeted for the regular season. Therefore, he wants more money and wants to go deep every year! Here's the thing most of you have missed over the years. Jacobs knows little or nothing about hockey, but is a pretty good business man. He relied on HARRY SINDEN to run his team waaaaay too long. Harry is as cheap as you know what, whether it's his dime or yours. Harry told Juneau to "yodle" fought Neely and Bourque for contracts and his understudy O,connell sent Joe Thornton to the Sharks knowing he was to be canned! If you blame anyone blame Sinden!!!

Through a special arrangement, presented here for discussion is a summary of a current article from MarketingCharts, a Watershed Publishing publication providing up-to-to-minute data and research to marketers.
An analysis of more than 32 million shoppers across almost 10,000 grocery stores during a 52-week period ending in mid-year 2013 found that, on average, shoppers bought just 0.7 percent of available products. The study, conducted by Catalina Marketing, also reveals that this selectivity tends to apply across various grocery departments and is relatively consistent when segregating shoppers by age and income.
Consumers' selectivity was even more pronounced when looking at their weekly and quarterly shopping habits.
What's interesting to see is that the figures don't appear to have been dragged down by infrequent or low-value shoppers. Instead, the top shoppers in the study — who accounted for 80 percent of retailers' sales during the period — still only bought 1 percent of available items.
The researchers point out that "the proliferation of targeted products has achieved the goal of meeting the more individualized preferences of today's consumers."' But Catalina makes the case that traditional promotions don't work for these selective shoppers, arguing instead for more personalized programs.
As a case study, the researchers present data concerning a major grocery store's Memorial Day weekly circular. Of the 1,172 items included in the circular, not a single one showed up in two-thirds of the shopping baskets during the week, while another 17 percent of baskets included only a single advertised item (equating to less than 1 percent of the items advertised). A week later, 74 percent of baskets didn't include any items from the circular, while 15 percent contained just one.
The takeaways? Catalina recommends that:
How relevant is the circular to today's grocery's shoppers?
Circulars represent shotguns. Today, savvy marketers need to put down the shotguns and pick up the rifles. I have previously seen the Catalina research and tend to agree with its findings and recommendations. In some respects the proliferation of products (despite claims of SKU rationalization) represents a retail mentality that says "I'm not certain of your needs and wants, however, we have everything, just look."
We have the shopper data (perhaps even too much data). Now we need to turn it into relevant, rifle-like, target marketing. Data analytics only makes sense if we can take the data and develop relevant marketing and merchandising campaigns.
Richard J. George, Ph.D., Professor of Food Marketing, Haub School of Business, Saint Joseph's University
Grocers need to customize offers to customers. Circulars are great ways for grocers to generate name awareness on someone else's nickel, but they do little to drive sales.
Customizing offers means spending more money to gather and analyze data, something most grocers are loath to do.
Mobile solutions should focus on making the shopping experience quicker and easier, not bombarding consumers with offers based on their in-store location. Nothing turns consumers off more quickly than endless push advertising.
Retailers should think like consumers, not like advertisers. It may cost more, and may mean the end of the weekly circular, but it will generate more sales.
The grocery circular, primarily a long-running relic of the mass merchandising days, remains relevant to many product merchandisers. They crave a sense of involvement in the total operations. Having their products listed in a circular helps with that need. But for customers, the grocery circular is of little value but for helping to identify if a store still appears generally competitive, which is an expensive route today to that goal.
To personalize deals to a specific store's base, give the store manager decentralized power to tailor and innovate deals to customers and potential customers, and hold him/her responsible for the store's sales and profit results.
As to the circular's future, it lies in the yet unexposed imagination of most grocery retailers. Without that, the circular will become like an expensive, non-productive government mainstay until it dies.
Gene Hoffman, President/CEO, Corporate Strategies International
If the average shoppers buys 300 SKUs a year in grocery (Nielsen) and the average grocery store carries about 40,000 items, the expected number of shoppers buying any one SKU is 0.75%. So a hit rate of 0.7% is right on target. What it does suggest is that the circulars are not pulling in incremental buyers, although they may be increasing purchasing among existing buyers. The question is whether circulars are profitable or not.
There is a certain segment of shopper that still expects and responds to circulars. A customer of ours still sees the circular, both in-store and delivered to homes, as a major traffic driver. However, even this client has moved a good amount of marketing spend to digital channels. Print circulars are definitely on their way out, to be replaced by digital solutions delivered to app, available via mweb, or on a form of in-store digital device.
Sorry, but I do not agree with the circular being irrelevant, at least in my area. It would be nice to know what our customers buy - right down to the last toothpick - but in retail, you still need a respectable amount of SKUs inside your store regardless of the theory just reported. Browsing is still something customers do, and I will continue to fine tune our selection by eliminating slow movers.
Circulars do very well, as customers know who has what on sale, and they will shop the ad items very heavily these days. Money is running thin, and people count on a hot circular to save money, and to think pinpointing individual needs is all you need is foolish.
I have no problem doing other high-tech solutions for sales, but some old fashioned print still does very well, as long as the items are high-volume movers at great prices. It is up to the store to be ready in how to sell the cross-merchandised items, and meals to go, that add to the bottom line. I expect many will disagree, but that's fine, as I am open for new ideas to help our store.
This article asks about circulars, but fails to represent their impact before suggesting they don't have impact (an absurd idea to anyone who tracks POS numbers).
Circulars affect a segment within the shopping population. And they cause that population to purchase far more. To attempt to analyze circulars using population-wide averages is erroneous. And to attack the circular based on studying one store is also erroneous - because the choices about what to put into the circular and how it is made quickly make any study of this sort absurd.
Doug Garnett, Founder & CEO, Atomic Direct
Old habits die hard. Circulars may be with us for some time to come. Hard copy newspapers are still out there, right? As long as they continue, so will advertising in them.
I don't think it's irrelevant. Grocery should continue to migrate toward a more mobile shopper and leverage tools out in the marketplace that can help target a demographic of one.
And, as I say this, other retailers are bringing back huge catalogs via US mail. So, old habits do, indeed, die hard.
Ralph Jacobson, Global Retail Industry Analytics Marketing Executive, IBM
Circulars which, in addition to new products, feature staple "specials" or loss leaders which are purchased by nearly every family (e.g., hamburger meat, milk, cheese, laundry detergent, pet food) still serve to bring people to that particular store where they then buy their other favorite hyper-selective products. Where I see stores wasting shelf space - and where stores should look at their base product lines and ads - is in the multiple varieties/flavors they offer of many products. Who wants to paw through six kinds of crackers or five sorts of cookies or four smells of laundry soap? Hint: we don't.
Like many marketing vehicles, correlating cause and effect for a circular is a (pardon the pun) circular argument. If one can't establish the tie directly between ad space/cost and incremental sales, then one can always argue "visits" impact, or as a last resort, brand building. Never underestimate the power of marketing to select the best statistics to prove a point.
Perhaps testing this could involve not running a circular in a few test markets to see if there was any impact. Trouble is, most retailers are so addicted to this vehicle that they may be afraid to stop, even for a week, just in case there is a sales volume fall out.
I don't think the facts listed support the conclusion. First of all, there is nothing said about incrementality. To take an extreme (and unreasonable) view, if only 30% of baskets contain a circular item but none of those shoppers would have shopped the store without the circular deal, then the circular created an almost 50% lift in traffic (30/70). Now, that's absurd, but what if 1/5th of that traffic is incremental. Then the circular still would pay out well. The only way to know is to test your circular program aggressively, to truly determine incrementality.
Of course, that doesn't preclude testing lots of other more targeted vehicles -- including those Catalina is pitching.
Jonathan Marek, Senior Vice President, Applied Predictive Technologies
I believe most of you are reading the results incorrectly, as is often the case with these kinds of studies. Dr. Needel is correct in that the study was primarily on how many products that the average consumer buys that are on the store shelves. We all know that this is a very small number. The side study about circulars that they did was very small -- two weeks for one store, in one city. This doesn't tell us anything about the effectiveness of flyers. Tony, as usual, gives us the straight goods.
Circulars remain important because they are a media channel that the retailer can control and use to capture a fair share of trade deals. If absolute response rates seem slim, I'd challenge a comparison with email click-through rates or other forms of digital media.
New channels hold plenty of value too, but the humble circular still represents a cornerstone of retail promotion. In the current era it is viewable online; embedded within mobile apps; integrated with frequent shopper programs; posted on social media; delivered in multiple versions; and subject to greater analytic scrutiny than ever.
Circulars remain a core element within the larger marketing portfolio for many retailers. Irrelevant? I don't think so.
The research seems to speak for itself. Generic direct mail has long not been a high response investment for a while, and the circular is no different. Were it not for consumer/shopper behavior so rigid it might not be as significant an issue, but yes, retail/grocery and the suppliers need to be more personalized in their communications as is economically feasible.
If direct mail is challenging to customize on a per-consumer basis due to a lack of insight, mailers can point recipients to a mobile or online interaction to (1) register with the retailer's loyalty programs, (2) submit answers to a series of questions leading to a custom offer redeemable via mobile device or (3) simply obtain greater information about current sale items. In all those instances, you build up communication permissions and insights to fuel future targeting.
Better still, is stitching these mailers to POS or syndicated sales data per DMA to relate the mobile/online interactions to specific buying centers to observe return. Connecting direct mail to online channels helps make the programs more measurable, with the ability to put a value on the creative and specific offers that you cannot do so easily with general FSIs.
The more data you have about shoppers, the greater you can customize the interaction and offer to entice shoppers who as pointed out are increasingly preferring more personalized and/or niche products.
Gib Bassett, Retail and Consumer Goods Industry Principal, Oracle
It's not an either/or proposition. Circulars are still a mainstay for many grocery shoppers, especially for staples or seasonal items. However, more targeted programs that send members coupons based on their regular purchases or discounts towards overall purchases are a wise move.
With each passing year, the reduced importance of the flyer is becoming more inevitable. The evidence is mounting: the declining effectiveness and ROI, the demographic shift from baby boomers to a generation raised on digital, and the shift in device preference to mobile.
Programs such as Safeway's Just for U, and Loblaws' PC Plus in Canada, point to the potential path forward. With both programs, shoppers can access digital coupons, with new savings added weekly. They can download personalized deals based on their own shopping history and delivered directly to their email inbox or mobile; call it a high-tech flyer.
Grocers who are ready to look to life after the flyer need to get the basics right to consistently deliver relevant and timely offers. Using data from a loyalty program to understand your customers and determine their needs is an essential first step. Developing internal capabilities to design and execute highly personalized offers enables the responsiveness that customers now expect. Building an ongoing knowledge base of customers' offer responses and channel preferences is essential to continued relevance over time. In an onmi-channel world, communicating through each customer's channel of preference will become table stakes.
Retailers need to start now and can't wait until the day the flyer isn't working at all. Build a true one-to-one relationship that creates a truly differentiated customer experience and drives emotional loyalty to your banner.

After seeing the scene in Columbus County, it's clear Eastern Carolina escaped serious impact from the storm. For the most part, areas around the East were spared substantial damage. But authorities say the strong winds and slick roads did cause a truck to overturn in Goldsboro. It happened around 7 a.m. Thursday morning on Royal Avenue. The truck carrying plants and shrubbery, left deep skid marks across the busy intersection and snarled traffic until about 12 p.m. Thursday afternoon.

When you come to a fork in the river, take it.
A word of advice. If you ever get invited to go on a fishing trip of a lifetime time, do what you can to make it happen. I recently was invited to float the infamous Smith River in Montana. It was a squeeze for me to make it, but I knew I could not pass up this opportunity. To afford the flights I went to Craigslist to see what I could get rid of. After a few weeks, and a less crowded closest, I had sold enough to afford the flights. The rest would go down in history.
The trip begins with an over night stay at Camp Baker along with other eager anglers ready to get onto the water in the morning. Each day, Montana State Parks allow nine permits to float the river. This means that only 20-30 boats leave the launch each morning. Getting a permit is a whole differnt story.
After an hour of packing the boats we were finally on the water and fishing. Between eight of us, there were three boats. Since my friend Will and I were happy to take the gear boat we quickly turned it into a fish catching machine. We converted the storage containers to a nice casting platform. We made due without an anchor by learning to ram the boat ashore when we wanted to fish a certain run.
The best part of having five days on a river is that you can take your time fishing. We first stopped at Rock Creek and quickly found some eager Browns to take large stone fly nymphs. Lots of fish moved up into some of the smaller creeks because of the high murky water, due to heavy rain.
After catching a few nymphing, I switched to a dry fly. The trout were happy to take the small flies I was throwing. I ended up catching over 10 in the small Rock Creek that fed into the Smith River. Catching plenty of trout on nymphs and drys we had to the only thing left: steamers.
Like they say, "go big or go home". So, my good friend Will Kelly tied on a big black streamer and stared swinging for the fences. It was not long before he hooked into a big brown that was happy to show off its meal hanging from his lip. This was very exciting knowing that these fish would eat just about anything that we would throw at them.
Besides the excellent fishing, the views were amazing. We quickly realized why they had to limit the number of boats that were allowed to launch each day. If not, everyone and their neighbor would be at the Smith River.
Some pictographs can been seen from the river about 12 feet up from the river. These are just of a few things that make the Smith River such a magical place.
After 5 days we had hucked plenty of bugs. Ended up with some nice Teva tans. The views were like the pictures you see in magazines; plus we caught dozens of fish, all of which were released safely. I can't wait for my next opportunity to go on a trip like this.

Stuttgart University's Shimmering Solar Decathlon Home+
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On June 22, 2010 @ 6:15 pm In Architecture,Green Building,Prefab Housing,Solar Decathlon | 1 Comment
All of the homes in this year's Solar Decathlon Europe [1] utilize advanced building technologies and green strategies to optimize their energy use — this is especially evident in the home+ [2] by Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences. The beautiful shimmering photovoltaic-covered exterior [3] is actually far more complicated on the inside, providing highly energy efficient heating and cooling. An energy tower and phase-changing materials help the home easily move hot or cold air to where it is needed most, and of course the home can generate far more energy than it could ever need.
The home is composed of four evenly-spaced modules that are joined together with air gaps with operable windows and doors that provide daylighting [5], pre-warm the air in the winter, and provide passive cooling through cross-ventilation in summer. The home's entrance and deck leads into the living room, through the dining room and kitchen, and finally back to the bedroom and bathroom. Storage and side rooms are neatly positioned on either side of the main living areas. Between the dining and bedroom modules is a large energy tower, which helps move air, heating and cooling throughout the house. An active ventilation unit [6] provides heat recovery, and phase-changing materials act as thermal mass to help store energy and move it efficiently.
As Stuttgart's home+ [2] is completely covered on the roof and East and West facades with solar panels, the home is designed as an energy positive home and is expected to produce more energy than it needs. The facades are coated in bronze and gold photovoltaic cells [7], while the roof is covered in black mono-crystalline cells for an interesting contrast and a shimmering effect.
As of Tuesday, Stuttgart University is in 8th place [8] overall, although they did tie for 4th place in Architecture and 6th in Industrialization and Market Viability. The competition lasts through this weekend so the winner still has yet to be determined, and upcoming scores for Energy Balance and Sustainability may just tip the scales.
