The biggest news for Corvette fans in 2001 is the Z06, a super-performance offshoot of the long-lived domestic sports car with a specially tuned 385-horsepower LS6 V-8 engine. Chevrolets fiberglass-bodied two-seater has been an American sports car icon since its debut in 1953, and the Z06 is the latest special-edition model, delivering even more performance than a regular Corvette. Based on last years hardtop model and intended to honor Zora Arkus-Duntov, the first Corvette chief engineer, the Z06 is said to be ready for the racetrack.
This generation of the Corvette went on sale in 1997. All Corvettes now are equipped with an enhanced, second-generation electronic stability system called Active Handling, which was previously an option. The dual-function system can apply braking force to individual wheels and also retard engine power in an attempt to keep the Corvette on course through swift turns. Sales rose slightly during 2000, according to Automotive News, reaching 31,208 units.
Just like those of the last five decades, Corvettes are still constructed of fiberglass and now come in three body styles: a hatchback coupe with a removable center roof panel; a fixed-roof coupe, now called the Z06; or a convertible with a glass rear window, defogger and manually folding top. Several styling cues play a major role in carrying on the Corvette tradition, including side air scoops, hidden headlights and quad taillights.
The new Z06 coupe features functional bodyside brake ducting, unique Z06 seat embroidery and special alloy wheels with wider tires than usual 265/40ZR17 up front and 295/35ZR18 at the rear, compared to 245/45ZR17 front and 275/40ZR18 rear rubbers on other Corvettes. Run-flat tires equip regular Corvettes, which are capable of going as fast as 200 miles per hour even when punctured and airless; the Z06 gets extended-mobility rubber. No Corvettes have a spare tire because it would take up too much space. In case of trouble, Z06 owners have a can of liquid tire sealer in the trunk.
Hatchbacks and convertibles have a choice of three suspensions: base FE1, optional Z51 Performance/Handling system or optional Selective Real Time Damping. In the latter, the driver chooses from three preset levels of ride firmness. The new Z06 coupes come with FE4, another suspension that aims to produce the ultimate handling skills.
Since 1953, Corvettes have been strictly two-seaters, though todays bucket seats are clad in black leather. Snug-fit sport seats are optional. Interior storage space is at a premium, apart from a small glove box and a console bin. Standard equipment includes full analog gauges, a low tire-pressure warning system, air conditioning, a six-way power drivers seat, remote keyless entry, a cassette stereo, theft-deterrent system, heated power mirrors, and power windows and locks.
In addition to the more potent engine, the Z06 gets dual-zone automatic climate control and a Bose CD stereo system. Options for hatchbacks and convertibles include a head-up instrument display, which projects car speed and other information into the windshield visible to the driver while looking ahead.
Under the Hood
All Corvettes have 5.7-liter V-8 engines. The basic LS1 version gets 350 hp a 5-hp gain this year and promises greater low-end torque for quicker standing-start acceleration. A four-speed-automatic transmission is standard, with a six-speed manual as the optional choice. The 385-hp engine in the new Z06 comes only with a new six-speed-manual transmission. That LS6 engine features a modified aluminum block, more aggressive camshaft profile, new high-compression cylinder heads and a less-restrictive titanium exhaust system. Chevrolet claims the Z06 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4 seconds and run a quarter-mile in 12 seconds.
Traction control, antilock brakes and dual front airbags are standard, but side-impact airbags are not available. Corvettes Active Handling electronic stability system applies brakes as needed to maintain traction on either wet or dry surfaces.
Driving Impressions
Even in regular form, Corvettes are fast, tight and eager on the road, delivering all the exuberance the enthusiast would expect plus a surprisingly diverse array of creature comforts. Corvettes demonstrate that traditional, muscular rear-drive sports cars dont necessarily go hand in hand with discomfort or austerity.
In the current Corvette generation, the two-seater has a decidedly heavy feel, though its less so than in the past. Acceleration from a standstill is nothing short of superlative raucous, yes, but reasonably refined at the same time. Response for passing and merging is no less energizing and enthusiastic. Manipulating the six-speed-manual gearbox which is mounted atop the console takes some effort, and shifting into reverse can be difficult. Once that fact is accepted, the driver can just sit back and enjoy the experience.
If anything, the Corvettes handling is even more striking than its performance. This two-seater hangs tight at all times, even on coarse pavement. Braking is quick and sure, even from high speeds. A current Corvette rides better than some rival sports cars and more peacefully than most earlier models, which tended to be harsh and jarring.
Engine sounds are loud yet satisfying just as they should be for a car of this caliber. Road noise is definitely noticeable and can grow annoying on longer journeys. Seats are wonderfully supportive yet supremely comfortable, with abundant head- and elbow room and good leg space.
The Z06 simply adds greater capabilities to what is already one of the strongest, best-handling sports cars on the market, with a reputation dating back nearly half a century. Most reasonable people will be more than satisfied with a plain Corvette. Tromp its gas pedal once, though, and the extra dollars for a Z06 almost begin to seem worth the price. Observe how it behaves on twisting roads, and that Z06 starts to feel like a virtual bargain.

The next of kin of slain lawmaker Koki Ishii will not support any candidate in Tokyo's No. 6 single-seat constituency in the coming House of Representatives election.
The family thus will not endorse Yoko Komiyama, the Democratic Party of Japan lawmaker who won an April Lower House by-election to succeed Ishii, who was also a DPJ lawmaker.
Four candidates, including Komiyama, are vying for the Lower House seat in the Nov. 9 election. The others are Liberal Democratic Party-backed Takao Ochi, 39, son of former Financial Reconstruction Commission Chairman Michio Ochi; Miyoko Tanaka, 56, backed by the Japanese Communist Party; and Nobuto Hosaka, 47, a Social Democratic Party member from the Lower House.
Komiyama, 55, won a landslide victory in the by-election over other candidates by pledging to continue Ishii's policies and winning strong support from Ishii's widow, Natasha, 59.
But on Thursday, Ishii's daughter, Tatiana, 31, attended a gathering held by a Hosaka supporter and expressed gratitude to Hosaka for insisting at a Diet session that the government try to uncover the real motive behind Ishii's murder, despite the arrest and confession of a suspect.
A rightwing extremist was charged with killing Ishii, 61, outside his house in Setagaya Ward on Oct. 25, 2002. The suspect turned himself in to police the next day and reportedly told them he killed Ishii because the lawmaker refused to help him pay his rent.
Ishii's relatives have said they think the police are not doing enough to investigate the crime and that there is more to it than money, and have offered 300,000 yen to people who come forward with information about the real reason for his murder.
Ishii was active in exposing various financial misdeeds, including those involving Muneo Suzuki, a former lawmaker who was ousted from Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's LDP in March 2002. Ishii also played an active role in exposing the activities of Aum Shinrikyo in Russia.
Tatiana said her family decided to maintain a distance from all the candidates this time, adding, "We do not think Ms. Komiyama fully understands my father's work or took it up."
A campaign official for Komiyama said: "Komiyama still thinks she has taken up Mr. Ishii's (work). If the family has any discontent toward her activities, we would like them to tell us."
An official at Hosaka's campaign office, referring to Tatiana's words of gratitude, said, "I think she saw something in common between Mr. Ishii and Hosaka, as they both have a strong desire to investigate various suspicions concerning the government and to pursue them in Diet sessions."

Linguistic Change in French
By Rebecca Posner
Linguistic Change in French
By Rebecca Posner
What is French and how has it changed over time? Can we distinguish language history from historical linguistics, and language change from linguistic change? These questions are explored using copious material from the history of the French language, concentrating on changes in the relatively modern period in particular. Posner explains how change comes about and how changes at different levels of language interact, and the role of sociological and ideological factors is set against the internal mechanisms that trigger change. This work makes a substantial contribution to the theory of linguistic change, as well as to discussion of the relationship between language and history in French-speaking areas, including Canada and French Creole-speaking countries.

What are risk factors for jet lag?
The main cause of jet lag is travel across different time zones. However, there are certain risk factors that may result in symptoms being more severe or longer-lasting.
- Travel across three or more time zones: Most people can adjust rapidly to a one or two time zone change. Three or more may cause more noticeable symptoms of jet lag.
- Flying east: As stated previously, travel from west to east causes travelers to "lose" time, and this can be a more difficult adjustment.
- Age: Older adults may recover from jet lag more slowly.
- Frequent travel: Pilots, flight attendants, and frequent business travelers who are constantly in different time zones may have difficulty adjusting.
- Preexisting conditions: Preexisting sleep deprivation, stress, and poor sleep habits prior to travel can exacerbate jet lag symptoms.
- Flight conditions: The monotony of travel, immobility and cramped seating, airline food, altitude, and cabin pressure can impact jet lag symptoms.
- Alcohol use: Overconsumption of alcohol during long flights can also worsen the symptoms of jet lag.
How long does jet lag last?
Recovering from jet lag depends on the number of time zones crossed while traveling. In general, the body will adjust to the new time zone at the rate of one or two time zones per day. For example, if you crossed six time zones, the body will typically adjust to this time change in three to five days.
Jet lag is temporary, so the prognosis is excellent and most people will recover within a few days.
Complications of jet lag are extremely rare. If a person has a preexisting heart condition, the stress of the disruption in the circadian rhythm, combined with the stress of travel, the high altitude, and immobility during flight may result in a heart attack. If the jet lag results in chronic sleep deprivation, stroke may occur in certain predisposed individuals.
Should people take melatonin for jet lag?
Another option is synthetic melatonin, which is classified in the U.S. as a dietary supplement. A study in the British Medical Journal in 1989 reported that taking synthetic melatonin tablets can help travelers restore normal sleeping patterns. In that study, 20 volunteers traveling back and forth between New Zealand and England took daily doses of either 5 mg of melatonin or a placebo (a blank, or sugar pill) before, during, and after their flights. Those taking melatonin returned to their normal sleep patterns in 2.85 days on average compared with 4.15 days for those taking a placebo.
However, scientists in the U.S. and many other countries are not yet convinced that enough evidence exists to prove the efficacy of over-the-counter (OTC) melatonin tablets. These scientists also point out the following:
- No information has been compiled on the long-term effects of taking melatonin.
- No watchdog measures are in place to assure that all OTC melatonin products meet minimum standards.
In 2005, MIT released the results of a meta-analysis of 17 peer-reviewed studies using melatonin. It showed that melatonin was effective in helping people fall asleep at doses of 0.3 mg. Larger doses of melatonin seem to be less effective after only a few days' use.
For the purpose of treating jet lag, it is suggested that a dose between 0.3 mg-5 mg of melatonin be taken on the first day you travel at the time you will want to go to sleep at your destination. This may be continued at bedtime for a few days once you are at your destination. Melatonin seems to be most effective when crossing five or more time zones, or traveling east. Only adults should take melatonin. Do not drink alcohol when taking melatonin.
Be aware that higher doses of melatonin can cause sleepiness, lethargy, confusion, and decreased mental sharpness. Operating motor vehicles or heavy machinery should be avoided after taking your daily dose of melatonin. Consult a doctor if planning on taking melatonin.

About the organization:
Ever since globalization transformed the transport sector, national boundaries have become permeable to penetration by trade, creating the need for flexible transport solutions. Intermodalism and containerization were the by-products of this era and were poised to metamorphosize transport of "general cargo", moving it 'seamlessly' through sea and land arteries. Forty years ago, the physical process of exporting or importing goods was arduous. Goods needed to be transported by lorry to the port, unloaded into a warehouse and then reloaded into the ship 'piece by piece'.Malcolm McLean's idea of containerization changed the basics of cargo transport by standardizing the dimensions of the container and simultaneously improving the productivity of ports by mechanizing handling of container-carrying 'cellular' ships and reducing their handling to a few hours only. Unitisation helped elimination of multiple handling of cargo and made transfers quick, cheap and easy. As containerization came to stand for 'cargo care', it grew by leaps and bounds the world over.Indian Railway's strategic initiative to containerize cargo transport put India on the multi-modal map for the first time in 1966. Given the continental distances in India (almost 3000 km from North to South and East to West), rail transport could be the cheaper option for all cargo over medium and long distances, especially if the cost of inter-modal transfers could be reduced.

News Breaks
February 6, 2013
06:12 EDT CG, APO, BX, KKR Carlyle Group upgraded to Buy from Neutral at Citigroup
Citigroup upgraded Carlyle Group (CG) citing valuation and the company's yield potential. The firm raised its price target for shares to $34 from $28. Citi also raised its price target for peers, including Apollo Global (APO) to $25 from $21, Blackstone (BX) to $24 from $23.50, and KKR & Co. (KKR) to $22 from $20.
1. See the institutional holding......Really Low.
2. See the dividend increases......Really High.
3. See the deals that they are making (and going to make).......Good ones (not 100%)
4. Finally, the entry way into LATAM, China and India is going to be the Kicker!
Buy in DCA (dollar cost averaging) mode and hold on for the ride. And, while we take the ride, we get paid handsomely. Great alternative to bonds and debt holdings. Of course, with a market correction in the summer, this stock will go down too, but that is when you add more to your holdings.
I am no guru or forecaster, but putting my hard earned money with this writeup.
Sentiment: Buy
This is going to $30 and the dividend will double by yearend.
Company is relatively new in the market. Next few years I see big things for it, don't be surprised to see 50s in the next 5 years.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Thank you, I've been owning this stock since the IPO came out.

Expansion Continues at Eisenhower!One thing in life is certain...change! This is true at Eisenhower Medical Center these days. In continuing to serve the changing health care needs of our region by providing excellence in patient care with supportive education and research, this spring brings news of expansion of two exciting new Eisenhower projects.
At the beginning of April, Eisenhower will open its third Health Center in Palm Springs — Eisenhower Health Center at Plaza del Sol, located at the corner of South Palm Canyon Drive and Belardo Road. A multispecialty clinic, this facility will be home to six physicians, initially opening with two gastroenterologists (GI) and a primary care physician. Committed to providing quality health care to our Palm Springs neighbors, Eisenhower continues to invest resources in the community.
In 2009, Eisenhower began making plans to become a teaching hospital and establish a residency program for primary care physicians. With great anticipation, Eisenhower learned last week that that it has filled 100 percent of the spots in the hospital's first ever residency program match — just four percent of community hospitals starting multiple, new, medium to large size programs actually fill all their available slots in a residency program's first year. Read more about the residency program and student match process below.
Eisenhower's New Residency Programs Fill All Positions
This summer, Eisenhower Medical Center will welcome 22 medical school graduates to its residency programs. The Coachella Valley's first Teaching Hospital recently learned that it has filled 100 percent of the spots in the hospital's first-ever residency program match — just four percent of community hospitals starting multiple, new, medium-to-large size programs actually fill all available slots in a residency program's first year.
How does the "match" process work?
Medical school graduates from around the world apply to residency programs via the electronic residency application service (ERAS). They are then matched with their residency programs through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP), on what is commonly known as Match Day. This year, Match Day fell on March 15 — the day when applicants found out where they will perform their residencies. read more...
New Gastroenterology Specialty Clinic
In January, Eisenhower Medical Center opened a new Gastroenterology Specialty Clinic with Board Certified Gastroenterologists Noel Curry, MD and James Conti, MD. Gastroenterologists specialize in the digestive system and related disorders affecting the gastrointestinal (or GI) tract. Consultations occur in the clinic and procedures are conducted in Rancho Mirage at two convenient locations. Procedures performed by Dr. Curry and Dr. Conti include colonoscopies, endoscopies, capsule endoscopies and esophageal manometry.
The Clinic is located in Rancho Mirage on the Eisenhower campus in the Bob Hope Classic Medical Building, Suite 101. read more...
Back On His Feet
The pain in his back and leg had gotten so severe that 74-year-old Jay Kepner could barely walk.
"Even with a walker, I couldn't go any distance," recalls the Bermuda Dunes resident, a former long-distance runner who, after a hip replacement in 2008, began to walk for exercise, customarily clocking five kilometers. "I was in excruciating pain. It hurt to sit or to stand for any length of time. I couldn't trim my roses or pull weeds."
Nor could he fulfill his service as a lay minister to give communion to Catholic patients hospitalized at Eisenhower Medical Center. read more...
Portion Control
The issues surrounding weight gain can be complex, but there are strategies for losing weight slowly and sensibly, with a long-term goal of ongoing weight management and maintenance.
One strategy for weight loss/maintenance is portion control — examining one's dinner plate size is a good place to begin. During the past 50 years, dinner plates have grown from what we now view as "salad plate" size to "serving platter" size. A 12- or 13- inch dinner plate is common and much larger than the 9-inch plates of the past. However, eating from a full 9-inch plate may feel more satisfying than eating the same amount of food from a larger plate.
According to Mallory Benavides, Dietitian, Eisenhower Medical Center Nutritional Services, portion control is one of the best ways to lose — and maintain — weight. For Benavides' patients, portion control begins with education.read more...

Mutterings From The Other Side Of The Hedge
A long time ago I used a plug-in called Vertibevel. It did fancy profile beveling. shellMod reminds me a lot of it. Many years later in another package, it's nice to see this so well implemented…
I haven't done this yet. But I should. I use the command line a lot but, well, there's always time for a refresher. Soon. When I get around to it. Because I, umm… right. Should (not limp along as I have been).
For when I need it:
Just massive. From retailers selling on your grocery purchasing decisions, your phone reporting your location every few minutes, government and corporations sniffing your personal e-mail and text messages, it's all whacked. On the surface level, it's just creepy. At worst it can be used to commit crimes in your name. I've been dabbling with my various 'devices' and, while just scratching the surface, have learned a few things which I'll elaborate on further in days to come:
Click image to play.
That's right. To test the new laptop, I strung together some clips and added a soundtrack by The Shamblers.
Funny how ones views change over time. Once I liked having a big-ass desktop replacement, in order to do previs work on set (and play an hour or two of Eve Online). Then it became more about portability than power, a 8 inch ultra-light to do web page updates from SIGGRAPH. Now it is all about code. So, typing.
What a selection to choose from! Despite this, there was not one perfect match for my wants. Keyboard, it became all about finding the perfect one. Most did not have the tactile response. Most did not have full sized shift keys. Some had problems with linux installations (boo!). Windows 8 was kinda dumb without a touchscreen. Touchscreens are kinda dumb unless on a tablet or convertible
Something had to give. Could I live without discreet graphics in order to get a decent keyboard? Did I have a choice? Not really. Not and compromise elsewhere on my wishlist. Enter the Lenovo Thinkpad Twist (review on Notebookcheck).
The trackpad is crap. Battery life middling and the unit is overall a bit on the fugly side. The hard drive it came with was slow and quickly replaced with a fast SSD which transformed performance. But it has the best keyboard I laid my fingers on in weeks of testing lightweight laptops. By far. Some Haswell-based unit will come out next week that trumps it, but I think I will be happy for a couple of years.
Particle sillyness…

Hello friends, I am posting here just to inform you people that the new Nokia Asha 202 available in India at Rs. 4,149.
Nokia Asha 202 in short: Asha Nokia 202 is a phone looks breezy with a physical T9 keypad without sliding mechanism and a TFT 2.4-inch diagonal that offers a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels in which there is a resistive touchscreen technology. The camera at the back is 2 megapixels that can record video at 176 x 144 at 15 fps and capture images up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. The front sensor does not exist in the phone.
Other than this, phone features a media player, audio jack of 3.5 mm in diameter, FM radio with Visual Radio and built internal capacity of 10 MB. There is slot for memory cards compatible with microSD support of up to 32 GB, support SNS, dual slot for SIM card can store up to 5 profiles of different cards, Bluetooth, 16 MB RAM, Dual Band GSM antenna module and GPRS connectivity class 10. The operating system is Nokia OS, version S40.
Display and look: Screen is exactly what we expect from an entry-level candy bar phone: diagonal of 2.4 inches, TFT type and resolution offered no more than 240 x 320 pixels. Nokia does not disappoint on either side of the design, even though it should be noted that the in category of classic phones and anonymous world this phone comes up with the great looks as candybar. Asha 202 has a pleasing look that certainly not go unnoticed. The corner is a rounded but not too much, avoiding the effect of soap, and you can even choose different colors: Dark Grey, Golden White, Dark Red, Black and White Silver.
Battery: The battery provided with the Nokia phone is not bad at all. The Lithium-ion battery with comes with the 1020 mAh giving up to 5 hours of phone conversation or 400 hours of continuous functioning in the standby mode. So it is quite satisfactory from the battery side.

New Optical and Radiocarbon Dates from Ngarrabullgan Cave, a Pleistocene Archaeological Site in Australia: Implications for the Comparability of Time Clocks and for the Human Colonization of Australia
David, Bruno, Roberts, Richard, Tuniz, Claudio, Jones, Rhys, Head, John, Antiquity
The human settlement of Australia falls into that period where dating is hard because it is near or beyond the reliable limit of radiocarbon study; instead a range of luminescence methods are being turned to (such as thermoluminescence at Jinmium: December 1996 ANTIQUITY). Ngarrabullgan Cave, a rock-shelter in Queensland, now offers a good suite of radiocarbon determinations which match well a pair of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates - encouraging sign that OSL determinations can be relied on.
Archaeologists have been divided over the antiquity of human occupation in Australia and Papua New Guinea since the publication of 50,000-60,000-year-old thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates from northern Australia (Roberts et al. 1990; 1994b). One group has argued that this time-range approximates the antiquity of habitation on this continent (Chappell et al. 1996; Roberts et al. 1994a; Roberts & Jones 1994). Another has argued that these dates are erroneous or not directly comparable to the 14C chronology from most other Australian sites (Allen 1994; Allen & Holdaway 1995); they argue that there is as yet no conclusive evidence for human occupation in Australia pre-dating 40,000 radiocarbon years b.p. Recently reported TL dates of 116,000[+ or -]12,000 years BP and beyond for artefact-bearing sands (Fullagar et al. 1996) have further lengthened the time-frame at issue, although a number of chrono-stratigraphic uncertainties make these results open to various possible interpretations. No paired 14C/optical dates beyond 30,000 b.p. have hitherto been available in Australia, partly because stratified sites possessing appropriate sediments and charcoal are rare. Charcoal-rich deposits within a silica-rich sandy matrix now enable two Pleistocene optical age determinations to be set alongside a suite of radiocarbon determinations from Ngarrabullgan(1) Cave in northern Australia.
Ngarrabullgan: site and stratigraphy
Ngarrabullgan is a large (18x6 km) table-top mountain 100 km west of Cairns in north Queensland. Rising 200-400 m above the surrounding plains and hills, it is bounded by high cliffs. Ngarrabullgan Cave is the largest archaeological site on top of the mountain, from which cultural deposits more than 37,000 radiocarbon years old have been obtained (David 1993). The deposits at this site are very dry, and there have been few terrestrial mammals on the mountain-top to disturb sediments; the integrity of strata and the preservation of organic materials [TABULAR DATA FOR TABLE 1 OMITTED] (especially charcoal and microscopic residues on stone tools) are exceptional (Fullagar & David in press).
The rock-shelter deposit is finely stratified but shallow; it possesses 27 distinct strata over a depth of only 43.5 cm, the top 35.7 cm of which is cultural [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. Twenty-one 14C dates obtained by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) and four radiocarbon dates obtained by beta-counting are listed in TABLE 1.
Radiocarbon determinations
All of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (OZB) AMS 14C dates are on single pieces of charcoal; the Beta Analytic beta-counting radiocarbon results are on multiple pieces of charcoal (TABLE 1). The results show that the period of occupation before 37,000 b.p. may be restricted to a single, thin stratum (3E; [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]) consisting of sparse cultural deposits; this initial period of occupation was followed by one or more episodes of low intensity occupation at [approximately]32,500 radiocarbon years b.p. The site was then abandoned and appears not to have been re-occupied until [approximately]5400 b.p. The 14C dates from substrata 3A-3D exhibit a high degree of self-consistency, with none of the individual pieces of dated charcoal being intruded from the overlying Holocene units. This implies that stratum 3, or at least the extant portion, has remained largely undisturbed since deposition. …

Available Mon- Friday after 6:00 P.M. Eastern, 3:00 Pacific.
DOW + 276 on 2350 net advances
NASDAQ COMP +75 on 1650 net advances
SHORT TERM TREND Bullish
INTERMEDIATE TERM TREND Bullish
First, we would like to congratulate Jeff Immelt of General Electric Corporation on the 10th anniversary of his ascension to CEO. During this time the Dow has risen around 1800 points or 16%. The stock of GE has dropped from 38 to 16 or a decline of 58%. Way to go Jeff.
Today we had quite a bit of good news to help the market. The German courts upheld the European bail out. Also, German industrial production rose more than expected. This caused the German market to rise 4% and pushed up the rest of Europe.
All during the day, we have CNBC on in the background and the opinions of guest analysts were almost universally bearish. This is a good sign.
The S&P 500 and most other important indices are making a pattern of ascending lows and ascending highs. This is a bullish pattern.
GOLD: Gold got clobbered as traders opted to chase the stock market rally. Also adding to the yellow metals demise was an overbought condition and resistance that we discussed yesterday. Well go back to a short term sell.
BONDS: Bonds made more progress. Still a bullish pattern.
THE REST: The dollar was up sharply. Silver was down, but copper and crude oil had gains.
Our intermediate term systems are on a buy signal.
System 2 traders sold the E-mini S&P 500 at 1199.25 for a gain of 61.25. They sold the SSO at 42.34 for a gain of 4.01. Stay in cash on Thursday.
System 7 traders are long the SPY from 118.40. Remain there on Friday.
The ISM services number came in at 53.3, more than the expected 51.0. On Wednesday we get the Feds Beige Book.
Were moving to a sell for bonds as of today September 7.
Were on a buy for the dollar and a sell for the euro as of August 4.
Were moving back to a sell for gold as of today September 7.
Were on a buy for silver as of August 26.
Were on a buy for crude oil as of August 29.
Were on a buy for copper as of August 11.
We are long term bullish for all major world markets, including those of the U.S., Britain, Canada, Germany, France and Japan.

Sony NEX 3N underwater case?
HI everyone
I recently purchased a sony nex 3n and I'm just learning to use it. I'm going on vacation next week and I want to be able to take pictures underwater. I found this case on amazon but I'm not sure this will fit my NEX 3N because it is for the NEX 3.
these are my questions?
1. Does anyone know if the amazon product i'm looking at will fit my NEX 3N?
2. Please recommend an underwater case for the NEX 3?
Thank you in advance.
This question has not been answered yet.

In early 2014, ASSIST, with support from PEPFAR, began the Community Linkages activity in five villages of Muheza District of Tanga Region in Tanzania, building on existing work at the facility level to increase retention in the HIV continuum of care. The Community Linkages component aimed to improve retention in care for people living with HIV (PLHIV) by increasing linkages between health facilities and communities.
The United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief's (PEPFAR) goal of an AIDS-Free Generation places increasing focus on improving the quality of care for patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART), which is known to improve viral suppression and reduce transmission. As access to ART increases globally, quality issues are a growing concern, to decrease the number of patients lost to follow-up and achieve better clinical outcomes among patients on ART.
This Case Study, published in Human Resources for Health (2015) 13:12, describes how the Community Health System Strengthening model, developed with support from PEPFAR as a strategy to improve community health worker performance, was applied in Ethiopia and Tanzania to increase HIV testing and enrollment and retention in care.
The Continuum of Response (COR) approach seeks to provide clients and their families with the essential prevention, care/support, and treatment services to reduce HIV transmission and disease progression and to maximize health outcomes. Following diagnosis of HIV, the next step along the COR cascade is linking persons living with HIV (PLHIV) to care and treatment, retaining them in care, and ensuring that they receive all recommended services, often referred to as the cascade of care.
This short report describes the current activities of the USAID ASSIST Project to improve the HIV continuum of response at the community level, working in 20 villages in the catchment area of three facilities in East Central and South Western Uganda.
This pocket guide, in Swahili, was developed in Tanzania to assist Expert Patients in providing education and support to HIV patients.
Le problème de perdus de vue est d'autant plus pertinent en Côte d'Ivoire que les taux de perdus de vue se présentent comme les plus élevés comparativement à ceux d'autres pays à faibles et moyens revenus. En outre, l'évaluation de base, réalisée par le Projet d'Amélioration des Soins de Santé de l'USAID ou Health Care Improvement Project (HCI) sur 41 structures sanitaires du projet, a révélé que 66% des patients pré-TARV et 45% des patients TARV étaient perdus de vue dans les 7 mois qui suivent le bilan initial et le traitement ARV respectivement.
Since April 2013, the USAID Applying Science to Strengthen and Improve Systems (ASSIST) Project, together with other USAID and U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) partners--Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance (FANTA), Strengthening Partnerships, Results and Innovations in Nutrition Globally (SPRING), and the AIDS Support Organisation (TASO)--have been supporting the Ministry of Health to implement the Partnership for HIV- Free Survival (PHFS) Initiative in 22 health facilities in six districts. The PHFS initiative supports the goal of 'elimination of new HIV infections among children by 2015 and keeping their mothers alive' through scaling up an effective campaign to protect exposed infants from HIV infection and provide optimal nutrition for these infants.

.- A former drug addict from Moscow is one of thousands of recovering drug addicts from around the world looking forward to a visit from Pope Benedict XVI in May. During his trip to Brazil for the 5th General Conference of the Latin American Bishops Council (CELAM) the Holy Father will visit those seeking a fresh start through the "Fazenda da Esperança" program in Guaratingueta, Brazil.
Some 2,000 former drug addicts are now preparing to receive Pope Benedict XVI at the men´s center of Pedrinhas, close to Guaratingueta. The Pope's visit is scheduled May 12th, 2007, a day before the 5th CELAM General Conference is set to begin in Aparecida.
The Russian lady said that she came to the center, which lies some 180 kilometres away from Sao Paulo, because she wanted a comprehensive program that worked. "My friends knew that this treatment works. There is no heroin available here." The young lady told reporters for Aid to the Church in Need that she is recovering by prayer and community work, without other medication.
The "Fazenda da Esperança", a Franciscan model of healing exists in more than eight countries worldwide, among them Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Mexico, and draws participants from throughout the world.
Ulrich Kny, Latin American expert at Aid to the Church in Need's headquarters noted that Pope Benedict's desire to spend one day of his short trip to Brazil among those involved in "'Fazenda da Esperança,' shows the importance of the problem of drugs and how much he appreciates the initiative of Frei Hans Stapel."
"There is not only a detoxification," he emphasized, "but also the discovery to be loved by God and to make a fresh start. The cured give a vivid testimony of healing by God nowadays, and this way the Gospel finds its continuation."

"Troutdale" Troutdale by sunnywong
Troutdale Travel Guide: 26 reviews and 48 photos
Using Troutdale as the ideal starting point for your Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area experience, take Exit 17 off I-84 and follow the signs to the Historic Columbia River Highway (SR30).
The Historic Columbia River Highway is America's premiere Historic and Scenic Highway. Built between 1913 and 1922, along the steep cliffs of the magnificent Columbia River Gorge, this narrow, curving roadway was a technological tour-de-force when it was constructed. When the Interstate Highway system was being constructed in the 1950s, many portions of the old highway were demolished, abandoned, or bypassed.
The most scenic section of the Columbia River Gorge lies on the forty-three miles between Troutdale and The Dalles. Mileposts begin with zero at Portland, and exit numbers on Interstate 84 roughly correspond to the number of miles from Portland.
To get to the Historic Columbia River Highway if you're coming from the West, you can exit at Troutdale (Exit17), Lewis and Clark State Park (Exit 18), Corbett (Exit 22), Bridal Veil (Exit 28) or Dodson (Exit 35).
A good place to start the tour is the town of Troutdale, 20 minutes east of Portland. Signs from Interstate 84 direct you to Exit 17, Historic Columbia River Highway and the town of Troutdale. Exit and follow signs through town past the Harlow House Museum and continue over the Troutdale Bridge. Take a right onto Highway 30 (the Historic Columbia River Highway).

'We Are Dad': Fighting a Gay Adoption Ban
Earlier this month, the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the case of Lofton v. State of Florida, challenging Florida's ban on adoption by gay couples. Florida is the only state with a blanket law prohibiting homosexuals from adopting children.
The appeal was brought by four gay foster parents who claimed Florida's law keeps thousands of orphaned and abandoned children from finding homes. Those four gay foster parents desperately want to adopt children in their care.
The new documentary We Are Dad follows one of the families involved in the Supreme Court case: Partners Steven Lofton and Roger Croteau, who now raise their five foster children in Oregon.
We Are Dad director Michel Horvat talks with reporter Cheryl Devall about the challenges of filming of his documentary — and the ordinary, day-to-day miracles that keep the family moving ahead. Four of the children are HIV positive, three are black and the two white children were born into an Oregon backwater cult.

In the minds of many, bigger is better. So, we move today to using the element of magnification for our creativity boost.
The first question is what if we made it larger? In the 1920s a man named George Cullen took a plan for a huge grocery store to company officials at Kroger. They pooh-poohed the idea and Cullen opened America's first supermarket. Walmart and Target took that idea and magnified it even further.
How about taking it from large to gigantic? PR practitioners have been doing this for years to get publicity. They've promoted everything from the world's largest cheese to the world's largest donut. Check the Guinness Book of World's Records if you don't believe that gigantic things are effective.
What can be added? I'm glad you asked. Cracker Jacks added a prize. Proctor & Gamble added air too make Ivory Soap float. Can you add something to your offering that makes it stand out?
A few other questions can help us magnify our offerings:
What can be extended?
Can it be made longer, taller, higher, fatter?
Are there extra features that can be added?
How can we add more value?
Have you magnified creatively? Tell us about it.

Big winter storms bury the racecourse. When it does World Cup skier Anja Parson doesn't just sit inside, she slips on her Hestra Anja Parson Pro Mitt and skis powder like the rest of us. She hails from snowy Sweden and has come to trust handmade Hestra leather gloves, even when she's freeriding on her own time.
- Softer aniline cowhide leather remains durable with a easy-to-grab feel
- The toasty mitt design with Fiberfill and polyester insulation holds in her hand's heat despite the arctic cold
- A Bemberg and polyester lining dries quickly and wicks moisture to prevent clamminess if the sun comes out
- The Neoprene cuff and hook-and-loop strap ensure no snow gets inside when it piles up in feet
- External palm seams enhance grip to secure ski pole plants in sketchy terrain or while skating over the flats

5 Star Mittens
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Hestra makes the best mittens and gloves around, once you've put on a pair you wouldn't disagree. The leather is supple, durable, and they've perfected the contoured fit. These mittens are right on par. The Anja Parsson mittens are so dang comfortable, they're like glass slippers for your hands. For example, I let a pro-skier girlfriend borrow my pair when she forgot her gloves and she hasn't given them back.
These mittens are a lighter weight mitten, so if you like having mittens but don't need the burliest one Hestra makes I'd choose these. Otherwise, I would recommend the Henrik Windstedt mittens (which you can find in the men's section, no worries, the gloves/mittens are unisex and have more feminine colors if you like). The mittens also hold up really well when you're storm skiing, touring all day, or in wetter snow conditions.
These mittens fit true to size.
