A Hempstead County man was killed as the result of a collision with a tractor-trailer at a rest stop on Interstate 30 in Hot Spring County early Thursday. Arkansas State Police identified the dead man as Terry Glendening, 64, of 653 Hempstead County Road 8, in Hope. ASP Trooper First Class William Summerville reported that Glendening was driving a 1999 Dodge eastbound on Interstate 30 at the exit ramp to the rest stop at Mile Marker 93 shortly after 4 a.m. Thursday when the accident occurred. Summerville's report states that Glendening's vehicle turned into the rest area from I-30 and immediately collided with the rear of a parked 2001 Peterbuilt tractor trailer operated by Triet Bui, 26, of 8405 Wilcrest, Harris, Texas. The report notes that Bui was not injured in the collision. Details were sketchy in Summerville's report, but weather conditions were reported to be clear and the roadway was dry at the rest area. Glendening was transported to Hot Spring County Medical Center in Malvern where he later died. His body was transported to Hope by Brazzel/Oakcrest Funeral Home, where funeral services are pending.

Pitbull On Music From His Latino Side
Cuban-American rapper Pitbull shares some of his favorite songs for Tell Me More's regular 'In Your Ear' segment.
One of his favorite songs is Nuestro Dia (Ya Viene Llegando) by Willy Chirino. "It's all about the story, the struggle and the hustle that a lot of Cubans go through to enjoy the freedom, liberties and opportunities that the United States has to offer," says Pitbull. He's proud of Chirino, and says the song keeps him grounded.

The United States Army Garrison Franconia (USAG Franconia) includes three distinctly different communities and six installations. Wuerzburg, Kitzingen, and Giebelstadt are uniquely located in the Franconian wine producing region in the state of Bavaria. The communities are rich with history, recreation, and cultural opportunities. The USAG Franconia is spread across a triangle shaped area in northern Bavaria. Wuerzburg is home to the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Division and the 67th Combat Support Hospital. Kitzingen houses nearly three-fifths of the soldiers assigned to the footprint. Giebelstadt Army Airfield hosts the 12th Aviation Brigade and 69th Air Defense Artillery Brigade as its primary tenants.
The area surrounding Wuerzburg, Giebelstadt and Kitzingen is marked by a well developed infrastructure. You will be closely located to several "Autobahnen", which are equivalent to the American interstates. The public transportation network, consisting of buses and trains, covers a wide area, bringing you anywhere you want to go even if you don't have a car. The closest airports are Nuremberg and Frankfurt, which are easily reachable by both car and train.
There are two military post (kaserns) in Kitzingen Germany, Harvey Barracks and Larson Barracks.
History - Harvey Barracks was built in 1917 and served as a training school for pilots during World War I (WWI) After WWI, the land was returned to the farmers. In 1933, the area was used as an airfield. Additional barracks and a hanger were built, which served as a training school. The training school originally trained civilian personnel for the "Luftwaffe" (German Air Force). Pilots from the famous dive bomber squadrons and pursuit planes were also trained in Kitzingen. Towards the end of World War II (WWII), a few jets were stationed at Harvey Barracks and hidden in the forest. At the end of 1945, U.S. Army units took over Harvey Barracks and from 1947-1949 it was called the Kitzingen Training Center. On 2 April 1951, Harvey Barracks regained its name in honor of Captain James R. Harvey, Company E, 359th Infantry, who was killed during the invasion of Normandy, France. For his actions of extraordinary heroism, he was awarded the distinguished service cross posthumously.
History - Larson Barracks served as a camp for displaced persons from 1945 to 1947. From 1947 to 1952, Larson was used as a collection point for German Army trucks to be overhauled and made ready for sale. In May 1962, Larson Barracks was named in honor of Captain Stanley L. Larson, Company C, 10th Engineer Battalion, who was killed while clearing a minefield Anzio Beachhead on 23 May 1944. He was posthumously awarded the distinguish service cross.

Eating organic, fresh produce has been high on our to-do list as of the past year, but with Arizona climate, it's not all that easy. Fortunately, we have found fresh produce with a year round farm market.
Supersition Farm in Mesa, Arizona, is a year round farmer market on a real farm.
Every Thursday evening from 4:30pm until 7:30pm, you can head on out to Superstition Farm and shop the fresh produce, fresh baked bread, farm fresh eggs, grass fed beef, homemade salsa, and more (we have tasted homemade baked goods, homemade honey, fresh cheese, and fresh sausages too!)
Supersition Farm is also home to delicious dairy products including ice cream, cheese, milk, and butter!
Every Thursday night, while shopping the farm market, enjoy dinner on the farm grills or from one of the food trucks that come out!
Admission is free and so is the petting zoo (it's on a legit farm so beware of chickens running around, parking next to the cows, the farm dog greeting customers, and the opportunity to meet other farm animals!) You can even feed the animals for $1 or bottle feed a baby calf for $3. They offer hayrides for $1, too!

Recap |
Box Score |
NIU vs. UT Martin - September 8, 2012
Dave Doeren - Northern Illinois Head Coach
On playing hard in the second half…
"I like the way the guys flew around in the second half. We challenged them at half time. I think their receiver (Quentin Sims) only had 40 yards in the second half, and two of them were on one-handed catches with guys in tight coverage."
On NIU's offensive pace…
"Not really. I was telling them to slow down actually. We were going fast. I was concerned about how many snaps we took last week defensively – we played 80-some snaps. So once we got the lead, I was trying to get them to slow them down. We had 75 snaps – could have had 85 easily. In the second half, I was on the headset telling them to slow it down. Just trying to get these guys off the field. We have a physical game coming up with Army, and I wanted to make sure we had enough rest. Especially after the game we just played."
On red zone defense…
"We've been stingy in the red zone this year. It's the second game in a row. With Iowa, they were down there four times and had no touchdowns. We worked a lot in the offseason defensively on different coverage schemes and different ways to play tighter. To take away star receivers down there. Obviously it's paid off. They were one out of four in red zone scores. To me, that's what it's all about. If you can keep touchdowns off the board. We need more takeaways; that's something we continue to harp on. But it says a lot about your mental toughness as a team."
"I'll have to study the film. I was disappointed that we gave up a three-man rush sack, but when you run for 200 yards and throw for 200 yards, there's a lot of good things happening up front. I know Leighton (Settle) had some gaping holes to run the ball through; there were some huge, gaping holes at times on our zone play. I think those guys are going to continue to improve. I love how they fight and battle, just from watching the film."
Jason Simpson – UT Martin Head Coach
Opening statement…
"Obviously disappointed in the loss. I didn't think we played up to our capability, but give Northern credit. I thought they were more physical than we were. I thought, at times, they were more disciplined than we were. Give them credit. They tackled a little bit better than we did. They got points in the red zone, so I take my hat off to them. I wish them good luck the rest of the year. "
On differences between Memphis and NIU….
"I'm very impressed with the team we just played. They're very physical. The speed was a little bit different tonight than what it was last Saturday when we played. The speed was a lot different than last week. At some positions, I think we might have been outmatched, but I was proud of my kids. We fought, and we had some chances."
On NIU getting out to a 21-0 lead…
"That wasn't a whole lot of fun. I compliment the crowd. It was a good environment. It was the first time I've been here, of course. Ryan Nielsen, their defensive line coach, was here two years ago and he told me it was a good environment. I'm very impressed. I tip my hat off to the environment here. You guys do a good job with it."
"We fought back. We had a few chances. We missed two field goals to the right. We throw the little throw back to the quarterback and he fumbled it through of the endzone. I'd like to think we could have made a game out of it, but we didn't get it done."
On NIU's offensive tempo…"They do a nice job. That really is a good, fast tempo, especially being physical and the unbalanced and the motions. That's a good program. They won eleven games last year. "
On impressions of NIU QB Jordan Lynch…
"He's very tough, very physical. It was fun watching the Iowa game last week. He's just a tough player. He's very big; obviously bigger than a lot of the opponents we play. You saw tonight that they got the run game going and we lost our eyes a couple times in the safety position and guys were running free down the middle of the field."
"There are different ways to throw the ball. You don't have to drop back all of the time. They're finding their little niche of what their quarterback is and who they are."
On NIU's physical play…
"We got knocked around pretty good tonight. Some guys got banged up. We had three that had to come out that the doctors pulled with concussions. Those linebackers and those safeties for NIU are rock'em sock'em. They get downhill."
NIU Player Quotes
Jordan Lynch
On his confidence after two games…
"Playing in this offense, there are tons of guys around me – Leighton (Settle), Martel (Moore), Perez (Ashford), Tommylee (Lewis). They make me right most of the time. We just threw a few bubble screens today and they went for 15 yards. They helped me out a lot and, when that starts to happen, it leaves the box empty for a quarterback run. The offensive line's doing a good job."
On transitioning to a new offensive coordinator…
"Coach (Mike) Dunbar has cancer, so Coach (Rod) Carey took over and I thought he did a good job. Mixing it up, throwing more bubbles, more screens. They didn't run me a lot today and we gave the load to Leighton (Settle), who did a heck of a job. And, like I said, the offensive line blocked their butts off."
On his comfort level in the offense…
"I feel good. I feel I have a good grasp of the offense and limit it to one turnover per game. The interception, I should have thrown it away. I could have done some things better, but I think I have a good grasp of the offense."
Leighton Settle
On rushing for his first career 100-yard game…
"Like Coach (Doeren) said, the offensive line blocked great, as well as the receivers. It's the running back's job to find the holes and make something out of it. That's what happened."
Jimmie Ward
On forcing turnovers…
"Every day, the coaches were on us about getting a turnover and make a big play."

Federal Legislation To Stop Abusive Online and Bank Payday Loans Introduced
Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Tom Udall (D-NM) recently reintroduced the Stopping Abuse and Fraud in Electronic (SAFE) Lending Act. This bill attempts to address the issue of online lenders who have designed abusive products in order to evade state consumer protections.
As state legislatures across the country continue to crack down on abusive practices, such as triple digit interest rates and unfair payment and debt collection practices, the SAFE Lending Act will ensure that consumers get the same protections regardless of whether they take out a loan from a storefront payday lender or a lender operating online.
According to the Pew Charitable Trusts' newest report and the Pew's first-ever nationally representative telephone survey, Payday Lending in America: Who Borrows, Where They Borrow, and Why, Americans spend $7.4 billion per year on payday loans, including an average of $520 in interest per borrower for eight $375 loans or extensions. Payday loans, which are marketed as two-week credit products for temporary needs, are in fact predatory short-term, high-interest loans, with borrowers paying an average of $520 in interest for eight $375 loans or extensions. According to the report, average consumers are in debt for five months and are using the funds for ongoing, ordinary expenses—not for unexpected emergencies.
In order to prevent payday lenders from evading the growing number of state consumer protection laws capping interest rates, U.S. regulators and Congress have begun scrutinizing some of the ways that payday lenders do business. For example, a number of payday lenders have partnered with Native American tribes in an attempt to evade the increasing number of restrictions being placed on payday lenders through state legislation, since tribal enterprises are not subject to states or federal law. In other words, these online payday lenders claim immunity from enforcement of state laws that cap interest rates and provide other borrower protections based on their partnerships with Native American tribes. Similarly, national banks that offer deposit advance loans at high rates with short repayment terms are also currently not subject to state consumer protections.
The SAFE Lending Act would allow states to petition the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to stop lending by tribes in states where payday loans are illegal. That way, states would not directly litigate against tribes, thus preserving sovereign immunity. Specifically the SAFE Lending Act would:
- Require all online small-dollar lenders (such as payday lenders) to comply with state law if it provides better consumer protections than federal law;
- Prevent banks from making payday loans in violation of the state law where the consumer resides;
- Provide new federal enforcement measures to protect consumers from online payday lenders that seek to evade state consumer protection laws, such as by locating their businesses off-shore, or affiliating with a Native American tribe and claiming the right to assert the tribe's sovereign immunity; and
- Empower Native American tribes to enlist the help of the CFPB where needed to protect their members from abusive payday lending on the reservation, and respect tribal laws that provide stronger consumer protections than are available under state law.
The SAFE Lending Act would also protect consumers' bank accounts by:
- Closing the single payment loophole in the Electronic Fund Transfer Act and ensure that consumers have control over how lenders access their bank accounts for payment and collections of high-cost loans;
- Safeguarding consumers' personal information by banning "lead generators" who collect information like Social Security numbers, income data, and bank account information; and
- Prohibiting lenders from using a borrower's bank account numbers to create unsigned checks used to withdraw funds, even when consumers have opted out of making payments electronically.

BioMarin: Where Biotech and Rodney Dangerfield Cross Paths
Fil Zucchi
The company with arguably one of the most promising pipelines around gets no respect.
Last week an FDA panel all but guaranteed that Vimizim --
BioMarin Pharmaceutical's
(NASDAQ:BMRN) new drug for Morquio IV syndrome -- will be approved without any label restrictions. Considering the level of anxiety reflected in the option prices before the meeting, one would have thought that the Vimizim decision was going to be a classic biotech binary event, with the stock plus or minus 20% depending on the outcome. Alas for the longs, it was not, as the stock reluctantly trudged from $63 to $70. What's wrong with $7 in a few days, you ask? Nothing, of course, unless one considers that such a move doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how undervalued BioMarin's stock seems to be. As I allude to in my story title, this is a name that can't get no respect.
Without getting too deep in the weeds, within three years Vimizim is likely to generate peak annual revenues of between $500 million to 750 million; even if all of BioMarin's other marketed products stalled at current levels, and no other drugs were approved, Vimizim alone would double BioMarin's revenues to somewhere north of $1.1 billion/year by 2016, and allow BioMarin to be free-cash-flow positive. For such success, BioMarin trades at a paltry $10 billion market cap. "10x sales is paltry?" It is if one uses
(NASDAQ:AMGN) buyout of two-tricks pony
Onyx Pharmaceuticals
(NASDAQ:ONXX) for example, which was purchased for 16.5x revenues; or if one compares BioMarin to one-trick pony
Alexion Pharmaceuticals
(NASDAQ:ALXN) which also trades at 16x revenues; or
Seattle Genetics
(NASDAQ:SGEN) at 18x sales.
But it's when one considers BioMarin's pipeline potential that its undervaluation becomes a real head-scratcher. BioMarin has four drugs currently in Phase II/III clinical trials. Three of these drugs each have peak-revenue potential of at least $500 million. And the fourth one -- a cancer drug code named BMN-673 -- would be the home-run play that would catapult BioMarin onto the same stage with the Amgens of the world. The current clinical trials for BMN-673 are targeted at a relatively small subsector of breast cancers, a market in the $200-300 million range; but the mechanism behind this drug makes it a very strong candidate against many other tumors. With time and patience, BMN-673 has very real potential to achieve blockbuster status as a $1 billion-plus drug.
Discerning how many of these four drugs will actually make it to market is way above my pay-grade, which is why I rely on people who understand the science and have an aversion to drinking Kool-Aid to gauge the odds of success. These folks peg the chances that two of the three half-billion-dollar candidates make it to market at about two in three. The other two drugs, including BMN-673, look to have a better than 50-50 chance.
So, on a conservative risk-adjusted basis, current odds are that by 2015/2016, when the results of all these trials will be known, BioMarin will be on its way to yet again doubling its sales to some $2 billion per year. Now how much do you think the stock is worth?
I know I sound "cheerleaderish," but in the context of arguably the most volatile and riskiest industry out there, where companies with unproven concepts are afforded multibillion market caps on a wing and a prayer, it is not often that one can point to a company with already enough revenues to be cash-flow positive, and a pipeline that includes, if not the "cure for cancer," at least a very strong candidate for a very effective treatment against cancer. To find such a company trading as cheap as BioMarin… let's just say it doesn't happen every day.
To maintain some balance, I'll leave you with one note of caution -- a concern that actually seems under-reported: BioMarin's current drugs, and two of the four in the ongoing clinical trials, are so-called "orphan drugs," i.e. drugs targeted at very rare but rather horrible diseases, for which there are few if any treatments. Because of the tiny markets (often 5,000-10,000 patients worldwide), these drugs are astoundingly expensive. Vimizim, for example, will be priced at around $400,000/year per patient, and patients will likely be on it as long as they live. A competitor drug to one of its candidates (Myozyme for Pompe disease) costs almost $1 million per year.
Governments and insurance companies are beginning to push back on these prices -- misguidedly so, in my opinion. It makes for a catchy populist argument to slam rapacious drugmakers, especially if one chooses to ignore that it takes
10-15 years to shepherd a new drug
from the lab to the pharmacy, the average cost of development for a single new drug is about $1.3 billion, and approximately
90% of clinical trials fail
. And the reality is that, but for these companies, most of these patients would be left to die in rather gruesome ways. Nonetheless, in the current social/political environment, the possibility that pricing power will wither away is very real, and in some cases, it may be a bigger risk than those presented by the clinical-development process.

Guest Room Paint Makeover
Whenever people come over for the first time and want a tour of the house, the guest room is the room that I always apologized for. The previous owners had two boys. Both boys apparently wanted blue rooms, one light and one dark. Our now guest room was the light blue room. Don't get me wrong, I love blue and it's one of my favorite colors. It's just that my guest room décor is blue too. So when I open the door to show my guest room, I apologize because it looks like a Smurf threw up in there. Blue walls, blue bead spread, blue dresser. Needless to say, the guest room needed a paint makeover.
This isn't my first time painting a room, and being that I have a toddler AND I wanted to paint the room during Saturday and Sunday football (aka husband's butt glued to the couch), I knew I was on my own for this job. I knew it would take all weekend because this left me with nap time and bedtime to do it.
There is a chair rail in the room, so I chose to paint the top half a dark grey and the bottom half a pure white. I love how it turned out. Here is a before and after photo. Sorry the lighting is bad!
Here are some photos during.
I wish I would have taken a picture of the room while it was still blue on blue to show you. Oh well! By the way if you want tips on how to paint a room, check out my tips for when I painted my kitchen!

SPEX version 2.0 is now available here. There is a LINUX version, a dec/alpha and a Solaris version.
The current version is 2.00.11
(but for DEC/Alpha there is currently only an older version)
It is advised to check this page for updates or newer versions
The following steps are needed:
1. Create a root directory,
for example /home/kaastra/spex
(do not use the same directory as used for version 1 if you had that installed)
In the examples below, we will call this "/spexroot", but substitute your own path for this!
2. Get the files
LINUX: (Redhat)
Your system needs to have the following libraries on RedHat 8.0 & 9.0 (usually they are already installed):
XFree86-libs-4.2 (libX11.so.6)
glibc-2.3.2 (libc.so.6 / libm.so.6 / libdl.so.2 / ld-linux.so.2)
libf2c-3.2 (libg2c.so.0)
Your system needs to have the following libraries on RedHat 8.0 & 9.0 (usually they are already installed):
XFree86-libs-4.3 (libX11.so.6)
glibc-2.3.2 (libc.so.6 / libm.so.6 / libdl.so.2 / ld-linux.so.2)
gcc-g77-3.3.1 (libg2c.so.0)
Solaris (version 2.8)
=> /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4
libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
libsocket.so.1 => /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
libm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libm.so.1
libF77.so.3 => /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libF77.so.3
libsunmath.so.1 => /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libsunmath.so.1
libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1
libXext.so.0 => /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0
libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
libmp.so.2 => usr/lib/libmp.so.2
DEC/alpha (Version 2.00.07 only!)
libX11.so =>
libshpf.so => /usr/shlib/libshpf.so
libUfor.so => /usr/shlib/libUfor.so
libfor.so => /usr/shlib/libfor.so
libFutil.so => /usr/shlib/libFutil.so
libm.so => /usr/shlib/libm.so
libots.so => /usr/shlib/libots.so
libm_c32.so => /usr/shlib/libm_c32.so
libexc.so => /usr/shlib/libexc.so
libc.so => /usr/shlib/libc.so
3. Unpack the files
put the files in the SPEX root directory /spexroot
Then type:
cd /spexroot
gzip -d spexdata.tar.gz
tar xvf spexdata.tar
gzip -d manual.ps.gz
mkdir bin
chmod +x spex_solaris
chmod +x trafo_solaris
mv spex_solaris bin
mv trafo_solaris bin
(in the above four steps, replace "solaris" by "linux" or "linux_suse" if you use the other operating system)
4. Define your environment variables
In your .login file (or any other file where you set your environment variables) put:
setenv SPEX90 /spexroot
where /spexroot stands again for the root directory of your SPEX installation.
If you have the plotting package pgplot installed on your system, than
you do not need to set more environment variables. To check if you have
pgplot installed on your system, you can simply type :
echo $PGPLOT_DIR
if you get an answer back, like in my case /home/kaastra/pgplot/pgbin, you are done. If not, set the following environment variables:
setenv PGPLOT_DIR /spexroot/data/pgplot
setenv PGPLOT_FONT /spexroot/data/pgplot/grfont.dat
5. Make aliases (optional)
It may be useful to make aliases to the SPEX program and the auxiliary programs. You can put the following aliases in your .cshrc shell:
alias spex '/spexroot/bin/spex_linux'
alias trafo '/spexroot/bin/trafo_linux"
6. Test if SPEX works properly
see the file /spexroot/test/README for details of the test you
need to perform.
7. Clean up
do not forget to remove /spexroot/spexdata.tar after succesful installation
8. Read the documentation and examples
Both for experienced and less experienced users it is often useful to consult the manual and documentation.
Bug reports
In case you encounter problems with the software you can contact me. Note however that my time is limited, so I suggest you do the following.
1. First try to find out if you can resolve the problem yourself.
2. It is amazing how often a consultation of the manual can help you.
3. Consult other people at your site who have experience with SPEX.
4. If this does not help, send me a SPEX command file (.com) that is as short as possible and that reproduces the error. Do not forget to include also any necessary data files (.spo, .res) that were used when the error occurred. Also give a screen dump of the error message.
Finally, note that this is a beta
release. Not all functionalities may work fully, and not all documentation
is ready.

Former Red Wing Dino Ciccarelli and longtime Detroit executive Jimmy Devellano were among the 2010 Hockey Hall of Fame class of inductees announced Tuesday.
They join Cammi Granato and Angela James - pioneers in women's hockey - as well as the late Daryl "Doc" Seaman, a founding owner of the Calgary Flames.
Eric Lindros, Joe Nieuwendyk, Doug Gilmour and Pavel Bure were overlooked in the vote.
Ciccarelli played 19 seasons in the NHL, including four with Detroit, and scored 608 career goals. He retired from the Florida Panthers in 1998-99 after playing 1232 career games.
Devellano was an architect of the New York Islanders dynasty in the early 1980s before being lured to Detroit when Mike Ilitch bought the team. The Red Wings have won four Stanley Cups and made six appearances in the Stanley Cup Finals under his leadership.
The induction ceremony will be held in November.
Ciccarelli, Devellano Elected to Hockey Hall of Fame

I'm currently running snv_129 (EON NAS image). I think I have somehow shorted one of my PHYs and I'm trying to debug the issue.
/etc/hostname.rge0 192.168.250.20 /etc/hostname.rge1 192.168.250.21
Router: 192.168.250.1 Network 192.168.250.0/24
I'm trying to switch the active/primary NIC from rge0 to rge1 and am unsure how to go about doing this (I really should have stayed with Linux, which I know a whole lot better).
Anyhow, netstat -rn gives me this:
Dest: default GW: 192.168.250.1 flags: UG
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1
192.168.250.0 192.168.250.20 Interface: rge0
I cannot ping anything when using rge0 as the primary interface. I don't really have the skills with Solaris to know how to debug this issue.
svcs -a says everything is online, and I can ping 192.168.250.20 whether it's plugged in or not.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'm happy to add more information if necessary
My eventual goal was to do link aggregation. At this point, all I want is to return one of the two interfaces to functioning order - just one.
I've followed some of the advice below. Here is what I've done since last update:
Disable interface 1 in the BIOS. (only one interface detected)
dladm show-phys:
LINK: rge0 MEDIA: ethernet STATE: down SPEED: 1000 DUPLEX: full DEVICE: rge0
ifconfig rge0:
flags: UP BROADCAST MULTICAST IPv4 (RUNNING is not present) inet: 192.168.250.20 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.250.255 ether ff:7f:7f:7f:7f:7f
Anybody have any ideas on next steps?

The Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES:^DJI) wasn't able to make it a clean sweep for the week, as the average finished Thursday with a loss of 16 points. But even with today's setback, the Dow finished the week up more than 380 points. Earnings releases from nine different Dow components dominated the news all week long, but in the end, several stocks that didn't report earnings also helped contribute to the Dow's strong performance. Among them were Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Boeing (NYSE:BA), both of which had impressive share-price gains during the holiday-shortened week.
Disney climbed 1.3% on Thursday, bringing its total gains for the week to nearly 4%. The recent past has been incredibly good for the entertainment empire's prospects lately, with good news on nearly all fronts helping to bolster confidence in Disney stock. Disney's strategy of using its multimedia prowess to link up content throughout its multiple distribution networks has paid off, with the company saying that combining television with radio, Internet, and mobile applications has led to greater viewer engagement and interaction. Meanwhile, the huge though surprising success of Disney's Frozen has gone beyond the silver screen, leading to shortages of related merchandise, and showing the marketing power that Disney has. As the consumer economy improves, Disney will be in a strong position to capture more of consumers' disposable income.
Boeing rose almost 5% this week, capping a strong performance with a 1.5% gain today. What's particularly impressive about Boeing's gains is that they come on the heels of a huge 2013, and although Boeing stock corrected early this year, the aerospace giant has taken steps to address its biggest challenges. The biggest test for Boeing will be whether it can maintain quality control even as it ramps up the rate of production of new models like its 787 Dreamliner in order to meet its huge backlog more efficiently and effectively. Yet, with signs that demand for aircraft will remain strong for the foreseeable future, the opportunity is Boeing's to capture, and if it can execute on converting its backlog of orders into revenue and profits, then the sky's the limit for Boeing's share price.
Earnings season will continue for several weeks, with Boeing reporting next week, and Disney following suit early next month. But even as most investors focus on the companies making their quarterly reports, be sure to look at how other members of the Dow Jones Industrials react. In many cases, you can capture some hidden gains if you look where other people aren't noticing what's going on.

Still, though that certainly wasn't the way I wanted it to end, I'm glad you finished it like that. An ace ending to an amazing story- I simply can't praise you enough.
Good luck with your future original works and I sincerely hope that they're as successful as this fanfiction has been.
Absolutely amazing, Lasarina, and thank you so much for sharing your talent here by posting this.
I await the epilogue with baited breath.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for reading! I'm glad you've liked it so much so far. I hope you like one or both of the different endings.
But enough with delays. Check out the endings!
I enjoyed, as always, the appearance of the Valar, and particularly liked Lane's description of Mandos' voice- I can actually picture Mandos sounding like Darth Vader... Anyway, I digress.
I found Lane's thoughts interesting to read too, particularly the stuff about her connection with Legolas. All in all, an excellent chapter. :)
Author's Response:
Well, I've posted the final chapter! So go check it out.
Thanks so much for reading! I'm so thankful for you sticking with this story!
As to the chapter itself, I read the chapter title and could just tell that there'd be a bomb-shell at the end, and you didn't disappoint. It was certainly a nice touch, and true to Lane's character in the fact that she's not about to bow down to anyone's will- even if it's the will of the love of her life.
As to your horse-riding quam, I'm not a rider, so I make a point of not going into details about horse related stuff in stories and fan-fictions, but I will bear it in mind none-the-less.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for the reivew. I'm glad you liked my own idea for how Legolas was named. Since we don't know, it was fun to come up with something.
Thanks again for reading, and check out the new chapter!
Author's Response:
Wow! Thanks for the wonderful review, my dear! I appreciate you taking the time to review and let me know what you thought.
I must admit, James Earl Jones I think was one of the funest ideas I came up with. And it was fun to write.
But thanks again, it's one of the nicest reviews I've received!
And check out the new chapter!
As to Chapter 8, I saw the chapter title, and I instantly had the song going round in my head, so you can imagine my delight at you finishing the chapter with some of the song. Wonderful song; true message.
Well done- great chapter/s.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! I'm glad you were able to keep reading the edited version.
I must admit, I was humming the song as I wrote it, too!
But check out the new chapter,
Author's Response:
So glad the link worked well! Thanks for your patience and I'm glad you liked it!
Check out the new chapter,
Keep up the great work.
Author's Response:
Glad you like it! It's been a fun series to write.
Thanks for reading, and check out the new chapter!
Author's Response:
Lol, it was fun to write too! I knew everyone would be happy to have Legolas back, it was a hard wait.
Thanks for reading, and check out the new chapter!
I'm glad that Lane saved Halbarad, but I can't help but wonder the consequences of such an action...?
Will look forward to reading the next few chapters- as always. :)
Author's Response:
Glad you like it that way, Lane's not really the kind to wait around! ;)
Thanks for the review! And check out the new chapter!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! Lane's a fun character to write.
Check out the new chapter!
Author's Response: Lol, thanks!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for reading. Glad you're liking it!
Check out the new chapter!
Once again, a very good chapter. It was nice to see Imrahil- there was very little of him in ROTK, I thought.
And Lane seems to be adopting the native way of speaking...?
Well done. :)
Author's Response:
Thanks so much!
Glad you liked Imrahil, I've always thought he was a bit underbilled myself.
And I love that you caught the change in her syntax, as with anyone her speech is starting to mimic her surroundings, and I've been trying to very carefully change hers over time.
Thanks again, and check out the next chapter!
It was very clever of you to have Lane in a dress when she went to go and see Denethor- I certainly didn't expect that.
Again, I have to admit that you have a talent for portraying Denethor; it was superb.
Well done.
Author's Response:
So glad you like Denethor, he's still the character I feel sorriest for in their portrayals in the movies.
Thanks so much for reviewing and check out the new chapter,
There was a good amount of humour in this particular chapter- which I enjoyed very much, particularly the "bonus for gender identification" comment.
Well done. :)
Author's Response:
Lol, I'm glad you like the cliff-hanger because I've left another!
And I'm glad you liked the humor, mine's kinda dry so I worry that other's won't always get it.
Thanks so much, and check out the new chapter!
- Geography. Your knowledge of Rohan and Gondor is AMAZING, and this really shone through.
- Your portrayl of Denethor, which definitely does justice to his character.
There were one or two typos which I did notice, but hey, you're human too. :)
Overall- great!
Author's Response:
Awww, thanks so much! I've been trying to study the geography and such a bit more so I'm not screwing that up, but I'm not surprised there are some typos, I always notice a lot after I've stepped back from something for a sufficient amount of time (like a month!) so that's no shocker there are some in this one. I'm sure there will be more! It's so hard for me to catch my own. I can professionally edit other people's stuff for publication all the time, but that's why we never do the final edit of our own work, the brain has the tendency to correct things as you read it to the way you meant it to be. If you ever see anything glaring, feel free to shout it out, I'm not easily embarrassed, the mistakes are worse!
Thanks again and check out the new chapter!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much!
I'm getting on a roll again, I've got the next chapter up!
Thanks so much,

Turtle nesting numbers way up

turtle egg to Claire Castillo, 8, who is visiting
from Minnesota. SUN PHOTO/LAURIE KROSNEY
If you think you're seeing more turtle nests marked off on the beach this summer, your eyes aren't deceiving you.
"Our nest count is way up so far this year," said Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch Director Suzi Fox. "As of June 19, we had 74 nests. That's way ahead of last year, when we had 41 at this time. In 2007, we only had 26, and in 2006, it was 40."
Fox said she wasn't sure why the increase in nests was occurring.
"Maybe it's because our beaches are nice and dark," she speculated. "There are only a few problem spots this year."
Or perhaps it's the temporary ban on longline fishing in the Gulf that was enacted after a disturbing number of turtles were snagged and drowned by the longline fishery, Fox said.
"Whatever the reason, it takes decades to really confirm or establish that there are trends," Fox said. "We are the data collectors on our beaches. Other people are collecting data on beaches all over the world. The scientists put all that information together and that's when we know what trends are happening."
Overall, there has been a downward trend in loggerhead nesting, though last year was an exception with a greater number of nests overall.
Beach tours
AMITW offers beach tours each Wednesday morning. Residents and visitors gather at the south end of the Manatee Public Beach at 7 a.m. and wait until beach volunteers call in with information on the previous night's nesting activity.
"We can't guarantee that we can show a nest, but at this time of year, it's probably going to happen," Fox said.
She and Christina Swosinski are in charge of the tours.
The people on the tours have been able to see the tracks where a turtle crawled out of the water as well as a nest.
"Since our protocol now is to verify each nest, they get to see an egg, too," Swosinski said.
Two weeks ago, a nest that was laid too close to the waterline was dug up and moved safely back into the dunes, so people on that tour got to see that operation take place.
Dr. Steve Jackson, pastor of New Song Community Church in Georgia, was so moved by the tour and by the turtles that he wrote about his experience on his blog. You can see what he wrote and some of his photos at www.newsongpastor.blogspot.com/2009/06/steve-amys-turtle-adventure.
This past week, a crowd gathered at the public beach and then headed out to a freshly laid nest just south of Gulf Drive Café in Bradenton Beach.
"This is a nest," said Claire Castillo, 8, who was visiting from Minnesota with her family. "Turtles lay about 100 eggs, you know."
Castillo had obviously been reading up on turtles before coming to the tour.
"This is pretty exciting," she said as she knelt down in the sand close to where Swosinski was gently making sure there were eggs in the nest.
"Cool," she said when Swosinski held up an egg for the crowd to see, Chuck Degenhardt was visiting from Cincinnati with his family, and he said he thought the tours were something that every visitor ought to make a point to experience.
"There aren't a lot of places where you can actually see how a group is working to save an endangered species," he said. "I'm impressed that the whole community helps by keeping lighting safe for the turtles and by making sure the nests are safely marked."
To sign up for one of the Wednesday tours, call the AMITW phone line and register. The number is 778-5638.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona rising sophomore setter Penina Snuka has been named to the Pac-12 Volleyball All-Star Team, which will be traveling to China from June 17-27, the conference announced on Wednesday. In addition, Arizona assistant coach Charita Stubbs will serve as assistant coach for the all-star team.
The summer all-star team – made up of 12 Pac-12 student-athletes – will play seven matches over two weeks in Sanming and Beijing. The team will practice in Los Angeles before arriving in China on June 17 in Shanghai, spend the day sightseeing, then travel to Sanming. Pac-12 student-athletes will face off against the professional team from Fujian Province and the Chinese Junior National Team in Sanming from June 18-21, and play the professional team from Beijing and the Chinese Junior National Team again in Beijing from June 24-26. The team will return to the United States on June 27.
In addition to the matches, the student-athletes will enjoy cultural and sightseeing visits in China. Highlights include visits to the Great Wall of China, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the Silk Market.
The all-star team was selected by the coaching staff and Pac-12 liaisons and includes three freshmen, six sophomores and three juniors. In total, 11 of the 12 universities in the Conference are represented. The team features one libero, two setters, three middle blockers and six outside hitters. Five of the student-athletes traveling to China were voted All-Pac-12 this year, as well as three who received AVCA All-America honors. Jim Moore of Oregon will serve as the head coach of the team.
The student-athletes on the tour represent Pac-12 teams that have distinguished the Conference with 14 NCAA titles, the most of any conference. In 2013, the Pac-12 saw a record nine teams in the NCAA Tournament with Washington advancing to the national semifinals, marking the fourth-consecutive year and 30th overall that a league team has played in the semifinal round. Over the course of the year, eight of the 12 league squads earned top-25 rankings at least once, while two different teams earned a No. 1 national ranking (USC and Washington).
Snuka was named to the honorable mention all-region team. She finished the season with a league-best 18 double-doubles, which also ranked among the most for a freshman nationally. In addition, she dished out 1,196 assists, which ranked sixth in the league. She also added 339 digs, 60 kills and 37 blocks in her inaugural season. She was also named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week on two separate occasions this past season and was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team.
Snuka will be the second Wildcat to participate in the all-star trip to China as teammate Madi Kingdon participated in the inaugural trip last season.
For the first time, fans can follow the Pac-12 globalization initiative on Chinese social media, including Weibo (http://www.weibo.com/pac12) – the Chinese equivalent of Twitter – and Renren (http://page.renren.com/pac12), the equivalent of Facebook. Daily updates will be posted on the accounts concerning the volleyball all-star team as well as upcoming Pac-12 events in China. For more information and updates in English on the trip, follow @pac12 on Twitter and www.pac-12.com.
The team is a part of the Pac-12's Globalization Initiative, an unprecedented effort to promote goodwill and showcase the Conference and its member institutions in China through student-athlete exchanges and sport. Since launching the initiative in 2011, the Pac-12 has sent men's (UCLA and ASU) and women's basketball teams (Cal), last year's women's all-star volleyball team, and a delegation of men's basketball coaches to China for competitive exhibitions and clinics. Later this summer, the Pac-12 will send an all-star men's basketball team to play a series of games in China.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by OdinTheNotSoTiny Love it I'm normally much more of a red wine kind of guy (Syrah and Cabs, mostly), but this is truly one of my favorite wines, and the only white wine I seek out. Sweet, crisp, fruity, delicious, wet (i.e. not dry like so many whites). This is one of my favorite gift wines, as well - especially to my friends/family who love wine, and during the warmer months when a chilled white wine on the patio/beach is just what the doctor ordered. For the price, it's the kind of wine even the wine snobs I know love to keep on hand in the back of the refrigerator. December 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FWilds Light and refreshing wine I normally drink Moscato but I wanted to try something that wasn't as sweet. I have tried some so-called sweet red wines but ended up forcing myself to drink them b/c of the bitter aftertaste. An employee at World Market recommended this today and I LOVE it! I'm going back to get more before the sale is over this Sunday. November 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by ciaobellalyssa Deliciously sweet and crisp I'm having mixed feelings about this wine at the moment... In other words, I loved it so much I couldn't stop drinking it last night, and now I sit here with a throbbing headache. It was surprisingly delicious for its very low price. I kept thinking I had found a new go-to when I needed something sweet. Now, I can't quite figure out if its low quality gave me this headache, or maybe just my lack of hydration from only drinking this all evening. Easy to drink, light, and deliciously sweet! Beware of dehydration! February 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nursingchick May personal favorite wine I personally don't drink wine often because I have not found one I care for. This is the best wine!! It is sweet, without being too sweet. There is no dry after taste (which is one of the main reasons I don't usually care for wine. The fruity flavor of pears, pineapple and peach are all there and make such a beautiful relationship together. I enjoy just pouring a glass to drink, or even to wash food down. It's like juice with a punch, and as the previous reviewer said, no hangover. By far my favorite wine and will be stocking up!! February 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mustang101 Riesling without the headache next day Excellent wine, no aftertaste, and no headache the next day. I would recommend without reservation. March 26, 2012

I think we can go 8-4 this year.
Wilson is going to be much more confident running the offense.
We have TWO coaches who have several undefeated and top 5 teams
Mark it down, we will be in hunt for PAC 12 title and rose with within last two games of the season
The south is so even that the winner will have 2-3 losses at least.
Anyone but Colorado can take it
Go utes!

I do hope Utah goes 8-4 or better, just as long as they lose to BYU. Winning
their conference and Rose Bowl after that will make it that much sweeter. Chris
B will be elated and I will be so beside myself.
In reality, as much as I want Utah to lose to BYU this year, I'm still nervous because I saw what they did to us the last few years. It's a huge mistake to underestimate them. Reilly and Murphy will be forces to reckon with so I hope Van Noy and company will be up to the task. 0-4 against the Utes in the last 4 yrs will not be pleasant at all to say the least.

living room couch in the month of December, because Utah ain't going
bowling again this year. 4-8 this year and a loss to BYU.
Wonder what season ticket sales will be like next year for the little school on the hill?
No bowls.

"Wonder what season ticket sales will be like next year for the little school on the hill?"
Regardless of the outcome in conference rankings this year I expect season ticket sales to be at or near 100% next year. Do you know why? Because the Utes have some fantastic competition coming to RES next year, the year after that, the year after that, etc. USU has MWC schedule which isn't great but it is still a whole lot better than what byu has lined up next year.
That said, your time would be better served focusing on byu's ticket sales.

Your actions scream so loudly, we can't hear a word you're saying.

It's a tough schedule... something Utah has to take seriously. This is what
we wanted. Playing with the 'Big Boys' in a Power Conference. I like
it. Do I think Utah is ready... no. Do I think Utah can surprise, yes. Utah has
to take care of their OOC games. Beat the Aggies at home, beat Weber State, and
take care of the wannabe's on the road. Then they have to to fight for
conference respectability.
It can be done. 7-5 is expected, 8-4 or better would be beyond the call of duty for the UTES!

Ute Fans don't care about BYU anymore. Definitely true. If they cared, they would have stormed the field at least 4 or 5 times after the game was over, whoops, almost over.

What, did Murphy and Reilly say the Utes had a quest for perfection, a top 10 finish or a national championship?
Oh, wait.

And cougar fans and administrators don't care about playing Utah either. If they did, their athletic director, Holmoe, would have been on his hands and knees begging Chris Hill to please keep playing them, and their fans would be taking constant shots at Utah for not rushing out to renew the series, even though they've been beaten by them 3 times in a row, 4 of 5, 8 out of 11, and overall 56-34-4.
