|Fall Harvest: Bumper Crop of New Drug Approvals in 2003
|Novel Mechanism?
|FTC (emtricitabine)
The only two important interaction studies completed since amprenavir's 1999 licensure (both of which took more than two years to complete) are for methadone and oral contraceptives.
Now a reformulated, "fos" amprenavir, arrives on the scene. Known among wonkish types by bits of its Vertex code name, "908," the less messy PI gives GlaxoSmithKline what it sees as a fighting chance to whittle away some of the protease market share from the likes of Abbott, Agouron and Merck. Not unlike the hasty development and approval of its predecessor, the clinical research on fosamprenavir (Lexiva, as it will be marketed) is similarly lacking -- at least according to the authors of TAG's official tract on this the 19th antiretroviral, expected to be waved in to home by the time we hit the newsstand. For Rob Camp and Heidi Nass, the new drug begs the usual questions.
Two of the three open-label studies done -- Solo and Context -- have clearly demonstrated that fosamprenavir, like amprenavir itself, is more potent when boosted with ritonavir. We see no reason to approve another mediocre protease inhibitor without the requirement for co-administered ritonavir.
Fosamprenavir has been analyzed in an advanced yet naive or less advanced but experienced population, but not in a non-advanced population, nor has there been head-to-head comparison with amprenavir or an expanded access program of any type.
Co-administered with ritonavir, fosamprenavir is more potent both clinically and virologically. (In Context, of the few who failed virologically in the fosamprenavir/r arms, it was due to NRTI resistance -- and not PI resistance.)
The pill burden for fosamprenavir (one pill BID) is greatly reduced from amprenavir (eight pills BID), because it is more water-soluble and is now in line with the pill count of the majority of protease inhibitors. (One mustn't forget the one extra pill -- ritonavir -- with each administration!)
We urge GSK and Vertex to price fosamprenavir cost neutral with Kaletra (lopinavir/r) to afford the greatest number of people the option of using the drug.
These results suggest that insertions in the p6 region of HIV-1 gag gene can affect the virological response in highly pre-treated patients receiving an unboosted amprenavir-containing regimen.
In the Neat and Solo studies, emergence of resistance was examined by ViroLogics via genotypic and phenotypic analyses of virus from all individuals with HIV RNA >1,000 copies/mL at two consecutive visits between weeks 12 and the end of study.
In the Neat study, mutations characteristic of development of fosamprenavir resistance were detected in virus from 5/29 (17%) fosamprenavir treated individuals analyzed and included I54L/M, V32I + I47V and M46I. Mutations observed with other protease inhibitors (D30N, I54V, V82, L90M) were not observed with fosamprenavir. Nelfinavir-selected mutations (D30N, N88D/S, or L90M) were detected in 6/26 (23%) nelfinavir-treated individuals analyzed.
In the Solo study, no selection of protease inhibitor resistance by fosamprenavir/r was observed in virus from 31 individuals analyzed. Emergence of resistance with nelfinavir was significantly greater, with D30N and/or L90M detected in 20/55 (36%) nelfinavir-treated individuals analyzed. The absence of resistance selection at 48 weeks in the group treated with fosamprenavir in combination with ritonavir contrasts strikingly with the resistance picture when fosamprenavir is used as a single protease (as in the Solo study). Clearly, this is another reason to recommend its use only when boosted with ritonavir.
Novel early mutations to amprenavir may not initially confer cross-resistance to other PIs, but the subsequent accumulation of additional mutations confers broad cross-resistance to the entire protease inhibitor class.
Fosamprenavir-resistant isolates of HIV have been selected in vitro. Genotypic analysis of these isolates do not show much although the drug has been around for four years! This is simply unacceptable.
We cannot say if fosamprenavir is effective in specific populations because the stratified data have not been made available. Fosamprenavir has not been looked at head-to-head with amprenavir, nor has there been an expanded access program. FDA oversight of Phase IV, as previously implied, is a toothless tiger. Companies agree to do trials with FDA, and are reminded ad infinitum that they need to be done; if they are not, FDA can pull a drug from the market. This has never happened in the history of the HIV pandemic. Fosamprenavir is the 19th anti-HIV drug to be approved. Is it time to start pulling approved HIV drugs off market when Phase IV commitments have not been honored?

Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild was hired Wednesday to replace Sonny Lubick as Colorado State's football coach.
CSU has planned a press conference for Thursday afternoon at 3pm.
Fairchild was Colorado State's quarterbacks coach from 1993-96 before taking over as the Rams' offensive coordinator for four seasons. He left for Buffalo in 2001 to serve as the Bills' running backs coach for two seasons.
Fairchild was the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the St. Louis Rams from 2003-05 before returning to Buffalo last season as the Bills' offensive coordinator.
A former quarterback at Colorado State, Fairchild moves in for Lubick, who was fired after 15 years. Lubick was asked by athletic director Paul Kowalczyk to step down a few days before the Rams' season-ending win over Wyoming Nov. 23. But Lubick refused because he did not want to quit on his team, which finished 3-9.
Lubick has been asked to stay on with the school as a fundraise

Yes Virginia, Iran's Nukes Are Dangerous
Fred Kaplan, Slate

Iran's announcement of an advance in its uranium-enrichment program and thus a potential step closer to an A-bomb has sparked four responses in various opinion pages:
There are problems with all four arguments, but let's deal with the last one first, since, if it's true that we can stop worrying and love the Iranian bomb (to paraphrase Kubrick and Southern), the rest is moot.
The most recent sampling from this school of thought is an op-ed published in the Feb. 10 New York Times by Adam Lowther, a defense analyst at the Air Force Research Institute. Lowther argues that an Iranian bomb might be beneficial to U.S. interests: The Saudis and Egyptians would want us to protect them by pledging to retaliate against Iran if Iran attacks Saudi Arabia or Egypt; in exchange for...

» Informatica Corporation Q4 2008 Earnings Call Transcript
I would now like to turn the call over to the Ms. Stephanie Wakefield, Senior Director of Investor Relations. You may proceed.
Stephanie Wakefield
Good afternoon and thank you for joining us today. I am here with Mr. Sohaib Abbasi, our CEO, and Mr. Earl Fry, our CFO to discuss our Q3, 2009 results and to talk about our outlook for the business. I will read the Safe Harbor and then hand it over to Sohaib for these comments.
Some of these comments we'll make today are forward-looking statements, including statements concerning our being well positioned to pursue our growth strategy, our projected financial results for future periods, opportunities for growth in the data integration market, the expected benefits to our customers and products with the acquisition and integration of Agent Logic, its employees and its technology, the planned use of our products by some customers for more than traditional data warehousing projects, the strength of customer demand for our products, customer adoption of our latest product lines, efforts being conducted with strategic partners, and our expectations regarding future industry trends and macroeconomic development.
All future-looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs. However, actual results could differ materially. There are many reasons why actual results may differ from our current expectations. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and Informatica undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date that they are made.
Please refer to our recent SEC filings, including the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 for a detailed description of the risk factors that may affect our results. Copies of these documents maybe obtained from the SEC or by contacting our Investor Relations department.
During this afternoon's discussion, we will be using GAAP and non-GAAP numbers. Our GAAP results and the reconciliation of the GAAP results to the non-GAAP results are contained in and attached to the earnings press release, and in the supplemental metric section of our Investor website at www.informatica.com/investor.
Before I hand it to Sohaib, I would like to remind you that this call is being webcast and will also be available for replay at the Investors Relations website. I would like to ask you, when we get to the question-and-answer period to please confine yourself to just one question. We will allow additional questions if time permits. Thank you.
With that, I'll hand it to Sohaib.
Sohaib Abbasi
Thank you, Stephanie. In Q3 2009, we achieved record third quarter revenues and record third quarter operating income, making it our 20th consecutive quarter of record non-GAAP operating income. With our time tested strategy and the team's proven operational discipline, Informatica attained sustained record results over the past five years. Even over the past year or two, during the deepest economic recession of our generation.
Unlike most enterprise software companies, Informatica reported positive revenue growth and higher operating income growth every quarter during this economic recession. Total revenues grew by 8% year-over-year to $123.4 million, and new licensed revenues grew by 9% to $50 million. Adjusting for the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, total revenues and new license revenues would have grown by more than 10%.
Total non-GAAP operating income grew by 22% year-over-year, with non-GAAP operating margin up 25%. With non-GAAP EPS of $0.22, we attained the most profitable third quarter ever. I would like to commend and applaud the Informatica team for their extraordinary efforts and disciplines.
Our business is progressively benefiting from improving macroeconomic conditions across several industries in most major geographic regions. Now, more customers are pursuing strategies for business survival rather than simply business survival. The associated IT initiatives have raised the priority and urgency of the enabling data integration. In fact, our regional results reflect these trends.
In the Americas, our results highlight increasing customer demands across several vertical industry segments. In parts of Europe, particularly the UK and Germany, the early signs of teaching customer priorities and purchasing processes are encouraging, and in Asia Pacific including Japan, customer demand underscores a bigger business potential for us to realize.
In the Americas, one of the largest fast food chains in the world selected Informatica for their Global Information Management Project to help fuel revenue growth. Using Informatica PowerCenter and Data Quality, they will reconcile product data anomalies, and build a data hub for a single view of products.
Delivering, timely, holistic and trustworthy data, this product the data hub will enable product and many focused marketing campaigns to drive incremental business. Also in the Americas, the US Transportation Security Administration or TSA chose Informatica as the standard data integration suite for all TSA screening and credentialing systems. With this decision, TSA plans to expand their use of Informatica beyond the enterprise data warehouse for the consolidated business process performance reporting.

Collegiate Education Department
Department of Collegiate Education was established in 1957 as an administrative authority of 13 Government Colleges in Kerala. Now there are 40 Arts and Science Colleges, three Music Colleges, four Training Colleges, one Physical Education College and 15 College Hostels under this Department. With the introduction of direct payment system to the staff of Aided Colleges in the year 1972 the responsibility of implementing this scheme is also vested with this Department. Now the service matters of around 20,000 aided college staff are being looked into by the Department. The Provident Fund Accounts of Private Aided College Teachers are also kept and maintained by the Department of Collegiate Education. The Department has also an increasingly important role in the developmental activities in the higher education sector utilizing Central and State funds under various schemes and also by the funds provided by the University Grants Commission.
Mission and Vision
The main objective of the Collegiate Education department is to impart best quality higher education to the eligible students of the State who complete their higher secondary level education. In order to achieve this objective the Department conducts various degree and post graduate level courses in the institutions under the Department, starts new courses, imparts training to Teachers and provide modern infrastructural facilities. To bring the economically backward students to the higher education sector, the Department frames and implements various schemes of Scholarships and also implements various schemes of Central Sector Scholarships under the guidelines fixed by Government of India. The three reputed Music Academies in the State are already upgraded and affiliated to the Universities and Degree and PG courses are conducted in these institutions for getting maximum quality education to the students in music. RLV College of Music & Fine Arts imparts training for music, fine arts, Kathakali and Mohiniattam, Sculpture and Modeling and it is only one of its kind in Kerala. The Department now conducts M.Ed. courses at the College of Teacher Education, Thiruvananthapuram and Institute of Advanced Studies at Thrissur with the intention to train the required number of Teachers in the training sector over and above the B.Ed. courses and in-service courses conducted in all the three Teacher Education Colleges and IASE, Thrissur. The Physical Education College at Kozhikkode under the Department conducts courses in the Physical Education sector. The Department also provides various opportunities to the students and teachers to conduct research and to attend other career development programmes with the assistance of University Grants Commission and other agencies. Hostel facilities are also provided by the Department to the needy students. In short the Department oversees almost all activities for getting the students who enter in the higher education sector ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

"This is just another hack who wants five minutes on TV," Christie said.
He has never revealed his weight, but he has repeatedly said keeping it in check has been a longtime struggle.
Christie joked about his size during an appearance Monday on "The Late Show with David Letterman," pulling out a doughnut and saying his girth is "fair game" for comedians.
The next day, he spoke frankly about his efforts to lose weight and described himself as "remarkably healthy," but he also acknowledged his doctor "continues to warn me that my luck is going to run out relatively soon."
Christie, often mentioned as a possible presidential candidate, has never released his medical records. He had one health scare during his first term, an asthma attack in the summer of 2011 that sent him to a hospital but did not require him to be admitted. He blamed it on the heat, not his weight.

Barbara and Sheldon Helfing never expected to have one autistic child, much less two. Their son Leland, now 5, was born prematurely and began showing signs of a neurological disorder before reaching his 1st birthday.
"Leland had very poor balance and he wasn't yet responding to us with words or gestures," Barbara said. "But initially autism did not come up because he was clearly interested in his surroundings and in other people."
Leland began getting help through the state's Early Intervention Program. However, since the state agency did not require a diagnosis prior to providing services, the Helfings had no idea that their son's problem might be genetic. When Nathan was born, the Helfings rejoiced in their healthy new son, but by the time he was 18 months old, the heartbroken parents could no longer hide from the fact that their younger son had also fallen prey to the disorder.
The Helfings are part of a growing trend that is affecting the Jewish community in unprecedented numbers. The statistics most often quoted in past reports about autism state that autism spectrum disorders occur in four to five in every 10,000 births. However, according to the Autism Society of Los Angeles, a soon-to-be-released report on children in the state of California shows a 400 percent increase between 1986 and 1996 -- or one in every 500 births.
In terms of the Jewish community, a study being performed at Stanford University's School of Medicine is looking into how families of Ashkenazi origin are affected (see box). Researchers stress that so far there is no indication that Ashkenazi Jews have more of a tendency toward autism than the general population. However, professionals who work with autistic children say the overall increase in cases has had a definite impact on Jewish families.
"While I would not say the Jewish community is any more hard hit than other communities, we are certainly seeing plenty of Jewish families with this problem," said Dr. John Lutzker, chair of the department of Psychology and director of graduate training at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles. "I have contact with the (state-run) Regional Centers and with the school districts and they cannot put a lid on this. It is indeed an epidemic."
Dr. Sandra Kaler, a psychologist associated with the Neuropsychiatric Unit at UCLA, agrees.
"The Jewish community has been equally struck by this and I think there was an assumption we would not be," Kaler said. "Now when I go out to a Jewish preschool to do an evaluation, I frequently see one or two children with autism, where before it was very rare to see more than one."
Autism is a neurological disorder that typically appears during the first three years of life and includes disabilities or delays in the areas of social skills, communication and cognitive development. Children can either be born with the disorder or develop normally and then regress, usually between the ages of 18 and 24 months. It occurs four times more often in boys than in girls (one reason why scientists suspect a genetic link). About 70 percent of children with the disorder also show some degree of mental retardation. Autism is considered a lifelong disability, but with early intervention many children learn enough skills to lead independent lives.
No one knows for sure what has caused the skyrocketing numbers of children diagnosed with autism. Because of the gender bias and because so many families have more than one child with the disorder, several ongoing studies are focusing on the existence of a genetic link or mutation. Other scientists are examining environmental factors like diet, vaccinations and pesticide exposure.
Part of the rise in incidence may be attributed to a change in the definition of autism spectrum disorders. For many years it was easy to tell children who fit the classic diagnosis of autism: An inability to relate to others, poor or no speech, violent or self-injurious behavior, repetitive or seemingly meaningless activities. However, the diagnosis has evolved to include children who relate fairly well socially but who have delays in other areas like language or fine motor skills. (This is sometimes called pervasive developmental delay, not otherwise specified or PDD-NOS.) On the other end of the spectrum are children who have solid communication skills but find it difficult to relate to other people, sometimes becoming obsessed with a narrow range of ideas or objects, a disorder known as Aspergers Syndrome.
But Lutzker said the change in evaluations cannot completely explain what professionals are seeing in their offices.
"It's an interesting dilemma: Is it that we are more aware of autism or are there truly more incidents? I'm inclined to lean toward more incidents just because of the endless number of children we are seeing these days," he said.
Lutzker, a behavioral psychologist, is a strong advocate of the discrete trial training method of treating children with autism. Discrete trial training (also called applied behavior analysis or ABA), was designed by Dr. Ivar Lovaas of UCLA in the 1960s and uses behavior modification with both positive and negative reinforcement to shape the child's response. Other developmental professionals prefer using the newer "floor time" therapy. Created by Dr. Stanley Greenspan, a psychiatrist at George Washington University Medical School, this teaching method is child-directed -- the therapist follows the child's lead in playing games and performing activities that enhance the child's communication skills. Many autistic children also receive speech and occupational therapies.
Working out a successful treatment plan is one of the many battles that parents such as the Helfings find overwhelming at times. Both their boys have different strengths and weaknesses and each requires a program that supports their needs. Therapy, including a home-based ABA program for Nathan and Greenspan sessions for both, often takes up eight or more hours a day for each child. Ironically, both Barbara and Sheldon's professional training makes them well-suited to the task of raising children with special needs; Barbara has a Master's degree in education (including a credential in special ed) and Sheldon teaches psychology at local community colleges.
Barbara said the hardest part is dealing with family and friends who don't seem to grasp what life with autism is all about, the constant toll taken on the family's time and emotions and finances as they research every option for helping their sons. She tells the story of a friend who called up in tears because her daughter had missed out on getting into a gifted class by two points on a test. Barbara said it was hard not to laugh because "I wish for one moment that Leland or Nathan had a problem like that!"
"What it comes down to is our kids are in a perpetual toddlerhood," she said. "Their mental age is not where their chronological age is; that's what makes it more taxing for us as parents. Other parents spend a lot of time talking about their kids' accomplishments and what we talk about may not seem like much. But the things other people take for granted, we really appreciate."
The family has struggled to find their place in the Jewish community. Currently they are not affiliated with any synagogue. Barbara said when Leland was a toddler she joined a Mommy & Me class at a large Conservative temple, but was disheartened by the response of other mothers when Leland finally attempted to speak.
"He was vocalizing, making these sounds that weren't quite words, but it was the first time he had even tried to talk," Barbara said. "And I saw two mothers pull their children away from him, like it was contagious. Instead of applauding that this child was finally speaking, they reacted like he had a disease."
To add insult to injury, when Barbara called to tell the teacher she and Leland were leaving the class, the teacher asked if she could tell the other mothers that Leland was a special-needs child unsuited to the program. Barbara said the feeling she got from the experience was that children who were different posed a threat to the reputation of the highly touted, "academically enriched" program. The rejection, she said, still hurts.
Sheldon is quick to point out that not all the family's experiences with synagogues have been negative.
"There are some good programs out there," he said. "But the general population reacts from fear -- what you don't know might hurt you. The misnomer about autistic kids is that they're crazed and violent, when in fact they are so locked inside themselves they would not hurt anyone."
Dr. Bryna Siegel, author of "The World of the Autistic Child," has seen many Jewish parents during her tenure at both Stanford and the University of California at San Francisco. Siegel, who is Jewish, said the emphasis on education and the high expectations of parents and grandparents in our culture makes it more difficult to accept a diagnosis of autism.
"The problems Jewish families have in coping with autism is by and large what I see in most well-educated, upper middle-class families," Siegel said. "There is a much greater sense of disappointment in having a child with a disability as opposed to a working-class family. And there isn't as much room in the Jewish community for these children as, say, in the Mormon community where they are seen as a chance for family members to grow spiritually through love and compassion. Judaism really doesn't have an outlook like that."
Siegel said that in some cultures where large families predominate, having a special needs child is less of a burden because the work can be shared among more people.
"But except for the Chassidim, Jewish families are not having a lot of kids. For those families, this child may be their only one, and that can be hard," she said.
The Los Angeles Jewish community has been slow to respond to the recent surge of families with developmentally delayed children. Few programs exist to teach these children Jewish culture and values. In the San Fernando Valley, there are special needs programs at Valley Beth Shalom, Temple Judea and Kol Tikvah, but except for VBS, these programs are limited to a few hours one or two mornings a week. The standards of admission for Jewish day schools such as Abraham Joshua Heschel, automatically eliminate many children with disabilities, including autism. Other schools will only take an autistic child if a one-to-one aide is provided, which may be out of the financial range for parents already pushed to the limit by medical treatments.
The University of Judaism, however, recently established a Master's degree program for people interested in working with autistic and abused children, which will put more knowledgeable, appropriately trained teachers out in the Jewish community. For those already in the field, the Bureau of Jewish Education, at its recent Early Childhood Education conference, hosted a seminar on Autism and Aspergers for educators along with several classes on evaluating children for speech and language delays.
But the Helfings' best advice to other parents of autistic children is this:
"Know your child, their strengths and weaknesses," said Barbara. "Know the law, or hire someone who does. The truth is, in a situation like this the playing field is not even. To the degree you're informed about your child, the disorder, what resources are available and about your rights is the degree to which you will be able to help your child succeed."

What a perfect vision to wake-up to this morning in New York.
Tilda Swinton looked breath-taking at the "Tuan Yuan" Premiere during Berlin Film Festival last night.
A lot of you may think I only like dramatic heavily embellished gowns, but simple elegant gowns like this blue Haider Ackermann Spring 2010 gown can equally knock me off my feet.
The first time Tilda wore a Haider Ackermann look she made it on my Best Dressed of The Year list.
It's way to early to predict this will make it, but I just love the way the dress wraps around her body.
The outstanding one-sleeved dress has an open back and sexy subtle thigh-high split that is definitely has her in contention for BDOTW.

The week ahead includes the first Friday of July, but not a monthly employment report to boot. More importantly, it marks a critical vote for a long-term austerity plan for Greece. Given that the Greeks will be rallying for a 48 hour long protest up to the vote, all hell could break loose in Athens, across Europe and global markets this week.
Our founder earned clients a 23% average annual return over five years as a stock analyst on Wall Street. "The Greek" has written for institutional newsletters, Businessweek, Real Money, Seeking Alpha and others, while also appearing across TV and radio. While writing for Wall Street Greek, Mr. Kaminis presciently warned of the financial crisis.

All Hell Might Break Loose this Week
If Greece fails to ratify its five-year austerity plan, the EU and IMF cannot send the next tranche of lifesaving capital to the financially embattled nation of my forefathers. Based on the frustrated state of the Greek populous, nothing is guaranteed and everything is possible this week in Athens.
The week kicked off with an uncharacteristic economic report. Usually falling on a Friday, the Personal Income and Outlays data for the month of May came due at 8:30 AM this Monday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg were looking for a month-over-month increase of 0.4% for Personal Income. However, income came in up only 0.3% against a revised lower rate of growth for April (+0.3%). This simply reinforces the fact that laborers have very little muscle to flex nowadays. Consumer Spending was expected to be unchanged in May against April, and the result was as expected. However, the Fed's favorite inflation gauge, the Core PCE Price Index, was hot at +0.3%, against a warm 0.2% increase in April. Economists were looking for only a 0.2% rise in May.
President Obama called a meeting with Senate leaders today, after the GOP walked out of debt ceiling discussions last week. Minneapolis Fed President Kocherlakota offered his thoughts on leverage and taxes, as the Minneapolis Fed also published its Midyear Outlook.
Nissan (Nasdaq: NSANY) produced its mid-year business plan, through which it broadcast its target for 10% U.S. auto market share. Nortel Networks (OTC: NRTLQ.PK) auctions off patents, while Tribune Co. looks to exit bankruptcy. Six Flags (NYSE: SIX) split 2-for-1.
The day's EPS schedule highlights news from Nike (NYSE: NKE), Standard Microsystems (Nasdaq: SMSC), American Learning (Nasdaq: ALRN), Ninetowns Internet Technology Group (Nasdaq: NINE) and Park Electrochemical (NYSE: PKE).
A general strike is set for Greece, and is scheduled to run through two days and right up to the Greek Parliamentary vote for austerity. Thus, things could get uglier than ever in Athens starting Tuesday and certainly Wednesday.
Last week, the FHFA House Price Index actually showed price increase for the period measured. The Case Shiller Price Index is due for release Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM. This report, produced with Standard & Poor's, covers data from the month of April, so it is hardly relevant today. The monthly Existing Home Sales Report offers more relevant data.
We will receive the regular ICSC Weekly Chain Store Sales data in the premarket hours. Last week's report, produced in conjunction with Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), showed sales fell against the prior week by 0.7% in the period ending June 18. Year-to-year comparison showed soft growth of 2.2%. Redbook's weekly data showed sales increased 4.2%.
Two confidence data points reach the wire at 10:00 AM. The Conference Board reports on Consumer Confidence for June, with economists' expectations set for a reading of 62.0. That would compare with the May reading of 60.8, which was down 5.2 points from April.
Also at 10 AM, look for the State Street (NYSE: STT) Investor Confidence Index for June. The index for May showed investor confidence improved, with the index rising to 104.1, from 97.3. Only North American investor confidence actually illustrated a leaning toward risk.
The Senate Banking Committee will be discussing housing finance reform. Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher is scheduled to give an address on the economy.
The corporate wire includes Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) introduction of a cloud-based version of Office. Nike (NYSE: NKE), Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN) and Sony (NYSE: SNE) are meeting with analysts or shareholders Tuesday. Tokyo Electric Power (OTC: TKECF.PK) has its annual meeting. The corporate earnings schedule highlights news from Arcadia Resources (AMEX: KAD), OMNOVA Solutions (NYSE: OMN), Progress Software (Nasdaq: PRGS), RF Monolithics (Nasdaq: RFMI), Sealy (NYSE: ZZ), Shaw Group (Nasdaq: SHAW) and SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX).
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) produces its weekly Mortgage Activity Report Wednesday in the premarket. Last week's data showed a slight rise in mortgage rates caused a decrease in mortgage activity. The Market Composite Index fell 5.9% for the period ending June 17.
The Pending Home Sales Index is due for the month of May at 10:00 AM. April's report produced an index fall to 81.9 from 92.6 in April. Much of this year's early housing market data was skewed by April weather and spiked gasoline pricing, while year-to-year comparisons matched up against tax-incentive driven activity in 2010.
The EIA Petroleum Status Report is up for release at 10:30 AM. Last week's report covering the period ending June 17 showed crude oil inventory fell by 1.7 million barrels to a level above the upper limit of the average range for this time of year. Gasoline inventory decreased by 0.5 million barrels to a level near the upper limit of the average range for this time of year.
Federal Reserve Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin is giving a speech on rebuilding the American economy in Washington D.C. at 12 PM ET. Farm Prices, which covers all agricultural products, will be reported at 3:00 PM.
Meeting with analysts or shareholders, Kansas City Southern (NYSE: KSU), CSX (NYSE: CSX), Symantec (Nasdaq: SYMC), and Dell (Nasdaq: DELL). The earnings schedule highlights data from General Mills (NYSE: GIS), Acuity Brands (NYSE: AYI), Advanced Photonix (AMEX: API), American Greetings (NYSE: AM), Family Dollar Stores (NYSE: FDO), Franklin Covey (NYSE: FC), K.B. Home (NYSE: KBH), Lindsay (NYSE: LNN), Monsanto (NYSE: MON), Rand Logistics (Nasdaq: RLOG) and UniFirst (NYSE: UNF).
Weekly Initial Jobless Claims are reported each Thursday morning at 8:30 AM ET. Last week's data, covering the period ending June 25, showed claims rose 9K to 429K. This week, economists are looking for 420K, which is still really bad.
The Chicago Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is due for reporting at 9:45 AM ET. This report for the month of June is expected to show the index value fell to 53.0, from 56.6 in the prior period, based on Bloomberg's survey of economists.
Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort Index is a weekly measure of the consumer mood, due for release at 10:00 AM ET Thursday. Last week showed deterioration in the index, with its value dropping to -44.9, down from -44.0 the week before.
The EIA Natural Gas Report is up for release at 10:30 Thursday. Last week's data covering the period ending June 17 showed an increase of 98 Bcf, taking it to a level 64 Bcf below the five-year average for this time of year.
At 9:00 AM ET, St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard will brief reporters after a conference on quantitative easing. Thomas Hoenig will also be speaking. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will address the Clinton Global Initiative meeting Thursday. The day marks the deadline for the IMF to replace DSK. The likely new head is expected widely to be Christine Lagarde.

Companies meeting with analysts or investors include Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), NetApp (Nasdaq: NTAP), CACI International (Nasdaq: CACI), EADS (OTC: EADSY.PK) and Nippon Steel (OTC: NISTY.PK).

(NYSE: AZZ), CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP), Christopher & Banks (NYSE: CBK), Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI), DemandTec (Nasdaq: DMAN), McCormick (NYSE: MKC), Methode Electronics (NYSE: MEI), Mitel Networks (Nasdaq: MITL), MSC Industrial Direct (NYSE: MSM), Schnitzer Steel (Nasdaq: SCHN), Smith & Wesson (Nasdaq: SWHC), Worthington Industries (NYSE: WOR) and Xyratex (Nasdaq: XRTX).
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) issues its tankan survey of business conditions, something that will get notably more attention than usual globally. Markets are closed in Canada and Hong Kong, and the U.S. preps for the three-day Independence Day weekend.
Motor Vehicle Sales will be reported Friday for the month of June. The economists' consensus expectation is for an increase in the annual pace of sales to 9.6 million, from 9.1 million in May.
Reuters and the University of Michigan will report on Consumer Sentiment at 9:55 AM ET. Economists are looking for this last reading for June to show sentiment stuck at an index value of 71.8.
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) reports on its manufacturing index at 10:00 AM ET. Economists are looking for the index value to fall to 52.0, down from 53.5 previously. That's dangerously close to the 50.0 break-point between economic expansion and contraction.
Also at 10:00 AM, Construction Spending data for the month of May – economists are looking for a 0.3% decline in construction spending, versus the 0.4% increase in April.
The corporate wire includes Torchmark's (NYSE: TMK) 3-for-2 stock split. The EPS schedule potentially offers data from 1 800 Connect (Nasdaq: CNCT), American Learning (Nasdaq: ALRN), Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin (Nasdaq: ABCW), Authentec (Nasdaq: AUTH), BMB Munai (AMEX: KAZ), Bridgford Foods (Nasdaq: BRID), Brooklyn Federal Bancorp (Nasdaq: BFSB), Carver Bancorp (Nasdaq: CARV), CDC Corp.

DUI - Staying out of Jail in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties - Part 2
In part 1 of this article, we began examining the probability of avoiding jail in 1st and 2nd Offense DUI cases. We saw that with the exception of 1 Judge in the 48th District Court in Bloomfield Hills, a 1st Offender can safely assume that they are NOT going to face any Jail time.
We next looked at 2nd Offense cases, and saw that, while Jail can usually be avoided in Macomb and Wayne Counties, things change if the case is pending in an Oakland County Court, and we also noted that, generally speaking, the farther north one goes, the worse things get.
In this second part, we'll pick up by looking at 3rd Offense cases, and we'll wrap up by looking at certain general principles that apply in all cases, be they 1st, 2nd or 3rd Offenses.
To begin, we should bear in mind that 3rd Offense (Felony) cases are an entirely different species from their 1st and 2nd Offense Misdemeanor relatives. Of course, part of that difference is that while 1st and 2nd Offense cases are Misdemeanors, meaning punishable only by a Sentence of either 93 days or 1 year in the County Jail, respectively, a 3rd Offense is a Felony that can carry a Prison Sentence of up to 5 years.
Before anyone starts fearing being carted off to Jackson Prison to start a new career in License Plate Manufacturing, it should be noted that a Prison Sentence is usually reserved for people with far more than 2 or 3 prior DUI's. The law does, however, require a person convicted of a 3rd Offense to serve at least 30 days in Jail. That's not negotiable.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that in Macomb County, a person who has only 2 prior DUI's , and who is facing a "true" 3rd Offense (meaning it is only the 3rd time they've ever been charged with a DUI) can, if things are handled correctly, avoid a Felony conviction altogether. In other words, a "true" 3rd Offense, if things are done right, can be reduced to a 2nd Offense Misdemeanor (and can, possibly, also avoid a Jail Sentence). This is not an option in Oakland County, and is seldom, if ever done in Wayne County. This is almost entirely a Macomb County deal.

A governor being talked about as potential presidential material announces he and his wife are separating. The story makes national news.
Colorado has been hit with that situation twice in fewer than 10 years.
On Tuesday, Gov. John Hickenlooper and his wife, Helen Thorpe, announced they were separating after 10 years of marriage.
In 2003, then Gov. Bill Owens and his wife, Frances, announced they were separating after 28 years of marriage.
Whether Hickenlooper's announcement affects his political future is yet to be seen. He has long been talked about as a Democratic presidential contender in 2016, although he has always downplayed the rumors, noting he isn't yet halfway through his first term as governor.
News of Hickenlooper's separation surprised Coloradans — and yet it didn't.
Thorpe has never been one to embrace the "first lady" title, whether it was during Hickenlooper's tenure as Denver mayor or as governor. Famously private, she has avoided the schmoozing that Hickenlooper honed during his years as a restaurant owner helping transform portions of skid row into a lower-downtown hot spot.
Political observers also said her husband's political career likely dampened her endeavors as a journalist and author.
But Thorpe has been a key behind-the-scenes supporter, helping write the scripts for Hickenlooper's funky mayoral campaign commercials and crafting her husband's "state of the state" speeches.
Thorpe has helped her husband host intimate dinners at their Park Hill home with both business and top-ranking officials in President Barack Obama's administration. The fruits of those dinners include winning relocation of the headquarters of Arrow Electronics from New York to Colorado.
"I really feel bad for them," Frances Owens said. "My advice is just try to remain the best friends you can."
Hickenlooper and Thorpe made clear in a joint statement they plan to do just that. He will live in the Governor's Mansion but will continue to spend time with their 10-year-old son, Teddy, at their home.
They said they will "continue functioning as a family that spends a great deal of time together."
"In fact, we will embark on our annual family vacation together this week, share meals often and plan to spend holidays together," they said. "You can continue to expect to see both of us out in the community — sometimes together, sometimes solo. Please feel free to include both of us in social gatherings as we will not find it awkward."
They stressed there was no affair and that they had tried "extended counseling."

They also said the decision to separate is "unrelated to the difficult events Colorado has faced this summer," referring to wildfires and the July 20 shooting at an Aurora movie theater, where 12 people died and 58 were injured.
Last week, Hickenlooper attended funerals for six of the shooting victims; Thorpe accompanied him to three of them.
Former Gov. Dick Lamm said there are many reasons marriages unravel, but politics isn't automatically one of them.
"It isn't a relationship killer," he said.
He and his wife, Dottie, have been married for 49 years, 12 of them while he served as Colorado governor. In their case, he said, it helped that they both "love public policy."
Bill Owens, who became governor in 1999, announced his separation in 2003. He and Frances, who have three children, reunited in 2005 and divorced after he left office in 2007.
At the time, the separation was viewed as dooming any plans Owens had for higher office — the Arapahoe County Republican had been talked about as a potential presidential contender or running mate after an influential conservative publication picked Owens as "America's best governor."
Former Colorado Republican Party chairman Dick Wadhams said "short of some scandal," a separation or divorce isn't likely to change rumors about a Hickenlooper presidential run.
"When you look at the field, John Hickenlooper would have as much a shot as any Democrat in the country," Wadhams said.
Democratic political consultant Steve Welchert of Denver agreed with Wadhams that a separation probably won't hurt Hickenlooper.
"I don't think people's personal lives matter as much any more," Welchert said.
Hickenlooper owned Wynkoop Brewery and other restaurants when he met Thorpe, a journalist from Austin, Texas, in October 2001. They married in January 2002; Teddy arrived later that year.
The next year, Hickenlooper, who had never run for office, joined a crowded field of Denver mayoral candidates, eventually winning the open seat in a landslide.
The day after his runoff victory, Thorpe tussled with a Denver Post photographer who happened to run into her on a LoDo street and tried to snap her picture. Thorpe privately explained to friends she was returning from a workout and was sticky and sweaty and didn't want her picture taken.
When Democrat Gov. Bill Ritter unexpectedly suspended his re-election bid in 2010, citing the toll of public service on his wife and four children, Hickenlooper's name was the first that cropped up. Many Capitol observers wondered whether Thorpe would sign on.
But at a news conference outside the state Capitol, Thorpe stood by her husband's side when he announced he would seek the Democratic nomination for governor.
After Hickenlooper's victory in November 2010, she admitted that "maybe as a coping strategy," she declined to think about how life would change if he won.
One thing did not change: Helen Thorpe still did not refer to herself as "first lady."

Who Is Jose Antonio Vargas?
A prominent journalist comes out as an illegal immigrant, raising additional questions about his real identity.
It's easy to portray Vargas—a self-described hard worker and American dreamer—as a victim of the system. As my colleague Alex Massie put it on Twitter this afternoon in response to my critical tweets, "But what was Vargas supposed to do? Pick fruit for the rest of his life?" No, I wouldn't sentence anybody to a life of fruit-picking, and yes, he and other illegal aliens are sympathetic characters. But Vargas' truth-telling about his lies, which included an extensive sit-down with ABC News, deserves additional scrutiny before any of the former bosses and employers he has "reached out to" with apologies "for misleading them" accept them.
Like Janet Cooke, Vargas lied about who he was. Cooke would never have gotten her job at the Washington Post, would never have written "Jimmy's World," would never have won a Pulitzer Prize if she hadn't misrepresented herself on her résumé as a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Vassar. * It may be unjust that Cooke, a black woman and a good writer, couldn't have made the jump to the then-Ivy-centric Post at the age of 25 if she had been honest about her humble University of Toledo undergraduate degree. But the unjustness of the world didn't give her a license to lie to the Post, where she eventually told many more. Likewise, Vargas would never have been hired by the Post had he told the paper the truth about his immigration status. I know the two lies aren't exactly analogous. Cooke told her lies to inflate her status, Vargas to normalize his. But the fact that Vargas lied about his noncompliance with what I (and others) consider to be an unjust law cannot be waved off. The trouble with habitual liars, and Vargas confesses to having told lie after lie to protect himself from deportation, is that they tend to get too good at it. Lying becomes reflex. And a confessed liar is not somebody you want working on your newspaper.
Oh, I expect to be denounced as a prig for that last paragraph. Like you've never told a lie? Never fudged your taxes? Never constructed a drunken alibi? Told a whopper? Stolen a candy bar? Of course I have. But have I lied systemically to my journalistic bosses? Nope. I don't come by my honesty policy because I'm virtuous by nature. I'm not. I'm honest because I know that if you violate your editor's trust, you're a goner for good reason. (Also, I'm a terrible liar who can't keep his lies straight.)
Vargas tells ABC News that he's chosen to come out as an illegal immigrant to help fight for passage of the DREAM Act, which would extend legal residency to deportable immigrants who came to the United States as minors, as he did. I wish Vargas and his campaign good luck. But to uncloud the issue one last time, we need to uncouple Vargas' cause from what he has done. He writes in his Times piece of being weary of "running away from who I am," but after reading his feature and the various news treatments of his story, I have no confidence of who that really is.
Lies and journalism don't mix. Send your clashing word cocktails to email@example.com and drink deep and taste not from my Twitter stream. (Email may be quoted by name in "The Fray," Slate's readers' forum; in a future article; or elsewhere unless the writer stipulates otherwise. Permanent disclosure: Slate is owned by the Washington Post Co.)
Track my errors: This hand-built RSS feed will ring every time Slate runs a "Press Box" correction. For email notification of errors in this specific column, type Vargas in the subject head of an email message, and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Correction, June 23, 2011: This article originally misspelled Jimmy in the name of Janet Cooke's infamous article. (Return to the corrected sentence.)

Here's Aaron Rodgers and Olivia Munn
These photos surfaced over the weekend of Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and actress Olivia Munn, who are said to be dating.
We haven't been able to find any context for these, but it appears as if they're taken with Munn's family. So Aaron has met the family. And that makes it serious in our estimation.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.

I felt my baby move at 2 months and i was showing with a pop belly at 2 months. This only my second child.posted 07/27/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Im 18 weeks pregnant with my second child and Im really concerned because I still havn't felt the baby. With my first son I felt him when I was 16 weeks. I dont know if its normal because normally you notice movement sooner is you have already had a child and its the opposite for me. Has anyone gone through the same thing?posted 07/20/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Well I am 22 weeks with my first pregnancy. I havent felt the baby kick yet but I am pretty sure I can feel the movement. Its always low, where he is and I can sometimes feel it in my back. So I think as long as I feel these little flutters I will be fine with him not kicking until he is ready!posted 07/18/2009 by TaMmY0990
Im 32 weeks along, pregnant with a little girl, i first felt her move at bout 5 months. It is perfectly normal for babies at 22 weeks to not be active. My mom said when she was pregnant with me, I rarely ever moved. If you are truly worried there is nothing wrong with going to your ob and asking to hear its heartbeat. Good luck!posted 06/26/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Hello, this is my second. My first was a boy, didn't recognize movement until nearly 26 weeks. Now, with a girl, I felt movement around 16 weeks and continue to do so!posted 06/26/2009 by arandis
I am 20 weeks pregnant with my first child and I felt her kick for the first time at 18 weeks. Ever since then, she moves for a little bit everyday. I've been told that if you are thin you are able to feel it alot more and a lot of my friends didn't feel their babies move until well into their 22nd or 23rd week. Everyones different!!posted 06/25/2009 by hannah997
I didnt feel my last two kick until after I found out what the sex was...about 20 weeks. I think its normal =)posted 06/15/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
Its such baloney that you can "only feel movement early if you're very skinny." Nearly every plus-size woman I know has felt movement on time if not early. I myself felt clear movement at 16 weeks (and yes, the doctor confirmed it!)posted 06/15/2009 by removed_28-jul-2009 02:43:20 pm
I am 23 weeks and I started feeling my baby girl move at 14 weeks. It is more apparent and stronger now and now everyone can actually see her kicking and punching in my tummy. If I eat cookies like oreos she goes crazy in there! She kept kicking and jumpingg around for like an hour and wouldn't go back to sleep lol.posted 05/20/2009 by Sweetdaedae
Every person is different just like every baby is different. I'm currently 19 weeks with my 2nd child, but my first I felt at or around the 16th week mark (and that was a girl baby).I'm now pregnant with a boy and I felt him at 14 weeks. He wasn't kicking until 16 weeks but I felt flutters as early as 14 weeks. Now this is different because I only weighed 143 but I'm 5'7".My sister is 5'2" and weighs 210 and she's felt her babies early too with flutters before the kicking began.So it all depends on the person,their body type,and the baby; but I don't think it has anything to do with the sex of the baby.posted 05/10/2009 by Shazun

GREEN -- Two Mansfield men are facing charges after allegedly breaking into RVs around 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
The Summit County Sheriff's Office was alerted to the situation by a tipster who reported suspicious activity at the Sirpilla RV Center in the 1000 block of Interstate Parkway.
Authorities located the two men in a white Nissan Altima at a nearby movie theater.
After stopping the vehicle, authorities say they recovered several televisions, blu-ray players, surround sound systems, fireplaces and criminal tools.
Both men -- 24-year-old Joseph Howard and 37-year-old Kenny Hunt -- face charges of theft and breaking and entering.
Additional charges are possible as the investigation continues.
The Summit County Sheriff's Office says the males are suspects in similar offenses at Sirpilla RV and other RV dealers in the area.

Detroit's 3rd Circuit Judge Wade McCree,who made news in January of this year for sending partially nude texts to a married court bailiff, is now accused of impregnating a witness in a case he was trying concerning her boyfriend, reports MyFoxDetroit.com.
Geniene La'Shay Mott entered Judge McCree's courtroom to bring felony charges against her ex-boyfriend for failure to pay child support. What began as a flirtatious exchange with the judge, soon turned into a lot more.
"I met him as a litigant, a complaining witness in his courtroom, and he stayed around after the case was over and that's when the second half of flirting started and we went from there and our relationship picked up," said Mott.
"It went from being a summer fling and just something to do to falling in love, promises of marriage, me getting pregnant, us buying a house together, name it," she said.
My Fox Detroit reports:
Alleged text messages between the two shown to MyFoxDetroit.com's Charlie LeDuff show things went sour when McCree's wife found out about the pregnancy.
An alleged text message sent from McCree's phone to Mott promised that she would get anything she needed in return for an abortion.
"YEAH LET'S TALK!!! I WANT (AND SO DOES LAVERNE) THIS TERMINATION. U'LL GET WHATEVER U WANT 4 IT! I'VE BEEN CLEAR ON IT FROM THE GET GO!!! WHATEVER U WANT. YOU SHALL HAVE!!!" the alleged text message reads.
Another text message exchange allegedly shows the two discussing a punishment for Mott's ex.
"OK, The math will be based on his failures since being placed on probation, but if U'r right. The threat of jail will loosen his purse strings!" a text from McCree allegedly said.

Photo of the day: 9 July
The vibrant colours in this image and the sharp focus on the kingfisher make this a cracking shot.
The vibrant colours in this image and the sharp focus on the kingfisher make this a cracking shot.
The shallow depth of field in this pretty image is spot on, which means that this little beauty is our photo of the day.
Click to view this fantastic image at its full size!
Poksoh by 'Rzley'. The background is blurred in this image, which is achieved by using a wide aperture.
Depth of field, or ability to control which parts of your pictures are sharp, is one of the main advantages of owning an SLR camera. Look at a scene with your own eyes, and everything from your feet to the horizon is usually in focus. But your pictures do not need to look like this.
Our latest photography cheat sheet examines three common ways you can affect depth of field. Our infographic looks at how aperture, focus distance and focal length will affect what appears sharp in your images.
Controlling depth of field is the key to successful photography. Managing what is in focus (and out of focus) is strongly linked to the enjoyment of the image and this varies greatly with relation to subject matter. Landscape photography, for example, uses a large depth of field, keeping the entire image in sharp focus from corner to corner. This invites the eye to explore fine detail and truly experience distances, from distant cloud shapes to the wet sand at your feet.
If you use a point-and-shoot camera or cameraphone, it's often almost impossible not to get everything from your feet to the distant horizon in focus. But the large sensors built into DSLRs means it can be surprisingly difficult to get everything in the frame looking sharp.
That's because the bigger sensors used on DSLR cameras mean less depth of field (DOF). While blurred backgrounds can be a real bonus for subjects such as portraits, the limited zone of sharpness can be a problem for other types of photography.
Set the right combination of aperture and shutter speed and you'll notice an immediate difference in your photography

New food possession?
My 4 month old puppy went to dog day care today. This is the 3rd time he has ever gone and it has been a month since the last time he has gone.
I gave him a bully stick tonight, one of his favorite treats. And when I went near him, he growled at me! Then he did it with my boyfriend. Now this is a completely NEW behavior as we have made a point from the day we brought him home to put our hands in his food, feed him from our hands, and take/give back his bully stick... Just to avoid any food possessions.
So now I am wondering if perhaps he has suddenly learned this possessiveness from dog day care? It it possible after just one day?
Once I realized he growled at me I put a bunch of treats in my hand, offered them to him, took his bully stick away, and then gave him back the bully stick once he ate all the treats. I did this 3 times. Is this a good method to help overcome possessiveness? I can't let this turn into "a thing" with him as I am planning to train him for therapy work.
Sent from my iPhone using Petguide.com Free App
Did the doggie day care give treats out during the trip?? That's the only thing that I could think of that would reinforce resource guarding. We're working through the book "Mine!" by Jean Donaldson (i think) and it has an extensive and time consuming process, but it's working for us.
Good luck! Just remember, that this can be overcome. Just be persistent and consistent.
Hecate's Hellhound, Bearer of Mischief, CGC - "Bear"
Hecate's Hellhound, Gypsy Magic - "Gypsy"
I don't think you need to panic and invoke the "resource guarding" menace quite yet - it's only happened the one time and he was fine with trading after that, right?
This is the only time it has happened. I did the "trade" with him 3 times, but wasn't entirely successful. He is a SMART puppy and figured out pretty quick what I was doing. On the third attempt he scarfed up the treats and jumped up to my hand, fast, to snatch the bully stick out of it.
That, too, is new. He has never tried to snatch something out of my hand like that before.
Honestly, I don't know if the day care gives out treats. It's something I'll ask them tomorrow as both my boyfriend and I are working 10 hour days and will be dropping him off there.

He was beautiful.
Scars and all.
She was beautiful.
Scars and all.
Their love was undefiable.
There was no way to explain it.
They held hands as they walked,
Arm to arm,
Relfecting scars.
Neither tried to stop nor help the other.
How could they?
Hypocrite wouldn't be the word.
But they comforted each other and did what ever the other asked them to do.
If she was upset and ready to relapse.
He hand her a red pen and kiss her on her forehead.
If he was close to punching himself.
She'd kiss his hand and hand him a stress ball.
They both listened as they spilled there feelings.
As they sobbed.
They shared sleepless nights lying together.
It didn't matter how much they felt like they didn't have purpose.
They did.
They need to love the other so that they were loved.
They both tried to fight together.
Support each other with whatever happened.
They were both beautiful.
So beautiful broken,
That their shattered peices,
fallen together created something bigger than when they were whole.
They're individual lives crumbled and burned.
But their lives that ignited together was more than life itself.
Love is giving the chance for someone to destroy you,
But trusting them not to...

Trigger warning?
Because my characters in my story are so like this. But I can't have them together :/ So I thought I'd make a poem of what their lives could have been together.

In tonight's game thread, I asked the following questions:
- Can the Yankees build on last night's game?
- Can they continue to own the Twins like they have been doing for the past decade or so?
- Will Phil Hughes be able to keep the ball in the park? (I realize Target Field is bigger than Yankee Stadium but you never know.)
- Will Robinson Cano continue his hot hitting?
- Did the Yankees score too many runs last night?
- Have they hit their allotment for the week?
And here are the answers:
- Yes they can and they did.
- Yes they can and they did.
- He did! Here's his line (check out the last number): 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 0 HR
- Of course he can. He was 2-4 with three RBI and hit a bomb to put the Yankees up 7-1 in the seventh inning.
- No they didn't because tonight they were able to score seven.
- It looks like they haven't. The Twins may be the cure to their ills.
Another infielder with a big night was Alberto Gonzalez who also finished 2-4 with three RBI. Plus, the much maligned David Adams had two hits as well. Mariano Rivera picked up his 27th save of the season on two pitches. He also received a rocking chair made of broken bats as a retirement gift from the Twins. Manager Ron Gardenhire called it the 'Broken Chair of Dreams."
The Yankees improved to 44-39 on the year.
Seriously, why can't the Yankees just play the Twins and Indians for the rest of the season?
Here's an up close shot of the rocking chair courtesy of Mark Feinsand of the Daily News:

Sometimes, half the fun of creating paleo recipes is seeing how far you can push yourself. Trying to recreate a recipe that contains grains, dairy and beans was potentially going to be a tough call, but, we think we've achieved a remarkably similar dish.
Nachos had been a big family favourite here for many years - we do like our TexMex food - but I couldn't see how I was ever going to be able to recreate them. That is until the wonder that is Primal Magic Dough came into our lives!
It is so versatile that you can use it to make soft enchiladas and crunchy nachos, how awesome is that? Find out how to do it with our easy recipe and tutorial below.
Believe it or not this gluten free nacho recipe contains the cruciferously wonder vegetable, cauliflower! You should know by now that I will try to sneak in some cauli anywhere I can - haven't tried it in a cake yet though...hmm, there's a challenge!
Cauliflower is packed with vitamin C and other goodies; plus they are known to have several anti cancer properties as well as being good for heart health.
The enchilada sauce is made using passata and tomato puree so is packed full of lycopene - a carotenoid phytonutrient that is reputedly good for heart health and a potential cancer inhibitor, as well as helping to prevent exercise induced asthma.
Research findings have still to prove these benefits conclusively however.
For the tortillas
For the nacho sauce
For the topping
If my eldest daughter and I hadn't developed an allergy to avocados, I would serve the nachos with guacamole and perhaps some soured cream if you follow a more primal style of diet.

Press release:
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal today announced a settlement with Coke, Nestle and Beverage Partnership Worldwide (BPW) resolving questionable claims that Enviga, a green tea beverage, will burn extra calories resulting in weight loss.
Blumenthal, working with Department of Consumer Protection Commissioner Jerry Farrell, Jr., led a coalition of 26 states and the District of Columbia in today's settlement.
The settlement provides more than $100,000 to Connecticut's General Fund.
The companies have agreed to re-label Enviga and any similar product to add disclosures and to disclaim any weight loss benefits. It must note that weight loss is only possible through diet and exercise. The companies will also pay $650,000 to the states.
In 2007, the attorneys general, led by Connecticut, began an investigation into questionable claims that drinking Enviga will burn more calories than it contains and implying that consuming the product can lead to weight loss.
"The Enviga lesson is that weight loss requires sound diet and exercise, not simply a concoction of caffeine and green tea," Blumenthal said.
"Enviga's calorie-burning claims led to credibility loss more than weight loss. Its new labels must now state clearly that calorie burning and weight loss requires proper diet and exercise.
"Enviga's implied weight loss claims were scientifically weightless -- unsupported by solid evidence. Enviga is no magic potion, capable of cutting pounds without pain.
"The larger message is that pound cutting claims are easy to swallow, but ultimately unsatisfying. We will act against weight loss gimmicks like Enviga that fudge facts in pitching products to put profits over public health.
Consumers deserve unadulterated truth -- on food product labels as well as contents."
Enviga's marketing claims purported that consuming three cans in a day would result in increased calorie burning by up to 60 to 100 calories per day.
However, the study cited by the companies, known as "Rudelle" ran for only three days and consisted of a small group of healthy 18-35 year olds. The short study could not establish that the any calorie burning associated with Enviga could be sustained over time.
The limited results of the Rudelle study -- and the absence of any Enviga-related weight loss evidence -- prompted Blumenthal to question the implication that consumers would generally experience the same calorie burning as those healthy 18-35 year olds in a controlled setting.
Today's settlement requires that in any marketing of Enviga, or a similarly formulated beverage, that uses the terms "the calorie burner," "negative calories," "drink negative," or makes any claims explicitly or implicitly that consumers will burn calories by drinking Enviga, there must be a clear and conspicuous disclosure that the product does not produce weight loss without diet and exercise.
States participating in today's agreement are: Connecticut, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and the District of Columbia.

Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record has a nice piece out on Zach McAllister, one of the Yankees best-rated pitching prospects. McAllister, 22, is in camp this spring to show off his stuff after tossing 121 innings of 2.23 ERA ball for Trenton in 2009. Though he isn't known for his strikeout totals – 96 last season – McAllister's command and sinking fastball have him at the top of the Yankees' list if the need arises for a farm system callup, at some point, in 2010. The 6'6″ right-hander will do his best during Spring Training to keep his name in mind before heading off to Scranton. "I know that they've been calling the younger guys up the last couple of years," McAllister said regarding the prospect of a big-league appearance this season. "It's one of those things where, if I go out and do my job and something happens at the big-league level, hopefully I'll get my shot up there." Last October, McAllister, a native of Illinois, was named the Yankees third best prospect by our very own, EJ Fagan.

Feds not helping Alabama enforce immigration law
Thursday, October 27, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government hasn't offered to help Alabama put in place a strict immigration law the Obama administration is challenging in court, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday.
The administration has sued to block the law, which is considered the toughest state immigration measure in the country.
"We have been working the Department of Justice in its challenge to that law," Napolitano told the House Judiciary Committee.
A federal appeals court in Atlanta this month temporarily blocked a part of the law that required public schools to check the immigration status of students. But the court did not bar law enforcement officials from detaining people suspected of being in the country illegally.
A final ruling in the case is not expected for several months.
Alabama Republicans have argued the law, passed this year by the Republican-controlled Legislature and signed by Gov. Robert Bentley, was necessary to protect the jobs of legal residents.
The Obama administration, which also is challenging a similar law in Arizona, has argued that enforcing immigration law is a federal responsibility.
Advocates against the strict state law have argued that giving immigration enforcement power to local authorities will lead to racial profiling of immigrants, both legal and illegal.
Napolitano said that while it is too soon to know what impact the new law will have, such worries "should be a real a real concern."
Similar laws have been passed in Utah, Georgia, South Carolina and Indiana. Civil rights groups have sued to block them.
