Coming off an impressive tournament in Tennessee to close out 2013, the Black Bears open up America East play with renewed confidence and a fresh slate. Maine men's basketball hosts Binghamton on Jan. 5 as part of a basketball double header as the squad follows the women's game at 2 p.m. at the Cross Insurance Center. The Black Bears are looking to avenge a one-point loss the Bearcats handed Maine the last time these two teams met in Maine as the contest is slated for a 4:30 p.m. start time.
The Maine men's basketball team maintained the lead for the entire first half but faltered in the second frame as the Chattanooga Mocs (7-8) won the Dr. Pepper Classic Championship, defeating the Black Bears, 86-80, last Monday night. Dimitry Akanda-Coronel had another strong game for the Black Bears tallying 24 points but the loss gives Maine a 2-10 record to wrap up 2013.
Maine's offense was once again sparked by Akanda-Coronel who was named America East player of the week earlier in the day following a 27-point performance against Middle Tennessee State last Sunday night. The Boston, Mass., native excelled from 3-point range hitting on 5-of-7 from beyond the arc and shooting 8-of-18 from the field. He also led the team in rebounding taking down six boards, total.
Kilian Cato had his second-consecutive strong outing for the Black Bears as he once again reached double-figures in points shooting 5-of-9 from the field for 12 points. Christian Ejiga, Troy Reid-Knight and Shaun Lawton all tallied 10.
Chattanooga was fueled by the efforts four players who all reached double-figures. Casey Jones and Ronrico White both tallied 20 points apiece while Gee McGhee also chipped in 17 points for the Mocs and Z. Mason recorded 15. Those four players accounted for all but 14 of Chattanooga's points.
The Black Bears finished shooting a respectable 47 percent from the field but second half defense let Maine down as Chattanooga finished the game shooting 51 percent.
Maine not only let the score slip away but also its lead in the rebounding department finishing the game with 36 rebounds while Chattanooga took down 41.
The Black Bears finished 2013 at the Dr. Pepper Classic hosted by Chattanooga and put forth two impressive showings. Maine upended, then 8-4, Middle Tennessee State with a thrilling 89-85, victory and nearly did the same to Chattanooga in the tournament championship, falling to the Mocs, 86-80. The two competitive performances should provide confidence for a Black Bear team that came into the tournament with one win and was searching for its first against a division I opponent.
Another reason for optimism was the strong play of Dimitry Akanda-Coronel who scored 27 points against the Blue Raiders and followed that performance up with 24 against Chattanooga. Akanda-Coronel started the season on fire, going seven-straight contests scoring double-figure points but had been mired in a five-game streak where he hadn't reached the double-digit plateau. Also a surprise in the tournament was the strong play of newly returned forward, Kilian Cato. The junior posted back-to-back 12-point games for the Black Bears.
The Bearcats enter conference play having gone 3-10 in their non-conference slate. Binghamton recorded wins against Cornell (89-79), Mount St. Mary's (74-70) and Bryant (67-62).
The team is paced by Jordan Reed who has started all but one of the 13 games and is averaging 16.1 points. Marlon Beck and Nick Madray are tied for second on the team in points per game with 11.0, each.
Reed also is the Bearcats rebounds leader bringing down 8.9 boards per contest, nearly doubling the second-place boards leader, Magnus Richards, who takes down 4.5.
This is the 27th meeting between these two squads as the series is tied 13-13. Coming into the contest the Black Bears have won seven of the last eight contests with Binghamton's only win coming last season, upsetting the Black Bears, 57-56 in Orono. In the squad's last 10 meetings Maine has gone 7-3.
While the Black Bears have struggled against a tough non-conference slate so far, Maine does rank fairly highly in many categories, in both the NCAA and the America East conference.
NCAA Rankings (As of Dec. 28)
• Shaun Lawton is now ranked 27th in the nation in steals per game with a 2.33 mark, he was previously 29th.

The Black Bears have gotten off to a 2-10 start so far this year, and in order to turn it around the Black Bears need to improve in several categories. Here is how the stats suggest the Black Bears turn it around
• Build On Confidence: The Black Bears nearly went two months between wins but had a terrific showing in the Dr. Pepper Classic to end 2013, tallying a win over, then 8-4 Middle Tennessee, and nearly doing the same against Chattanooga in the tournament championship. With a new season coming up with conference starting this weekend, this is a perfect time for the Black Bears to shed the feelings of past losses and use its success in their last tournament to fuel the squad in America East play.
• Rebound From Poor Rebounding: Maine's Achilles heal so far this season has been cleaning up the glass. They've been outrebounded 11 times this year and it's no surprise that 10 of those 11 contests went into the loss column. The team needs to improve its boards-margin (-10.9) in order to come away with wins. The Black Bears have been out rebounded by single-digits four of the last eight games but have only managed more boards than their opponents just once.
• Maintain Hot Shooting: The Black Bears have consistently improved it's shooting throughout the season and that needs to continue while the team tries to shore up the defense. The Black Bears have shot .450 or better in its last four games. It has also reached the 50 percent mark twice in those four contests. The squad is ranked third in the conference in field goal percentage (.447) and second in scoring offense (77.2 ppg). If the Black Bears can continue that trend while improving its rebounding numbers the wins should pick up against a tamer America East schedule.
The Black Bears concluded what was a challenging non-conference slate and it should serve Maine moving forward. The combined record of the nine division I teams the squad faced during their non-conference stretch was 74-45 and had a combined .621 win percentage. Of those nine teams, only two had a record below .500 as NJIT and Army were the only teams without a winning record.
Maine fans have enjoyed the emergence of their sophomore guard, Dimitry Akanda-Coronel. The second-year player started the season with five-straight games recording 10-or-more points, highlighted by a 29-point affair against NJIT on Nov. 19, 2013. Akanda-Coronel had been mired in a different streak before hitting the Dr. Pepper Classic last weekend going another five-straight games scoring less-than 10 points per contest. The Boston, Mass., native broke out of that slump in a big way in Tennessee, scoring 27 points against Middle Tennessee and followed it up with 24 points against Chattanooga the next night. It appears that Akanda-Coronel has heat up at the right time as the team gets ready for America East play with Binghamton on Sunday.
The Black Bears earned their first conference accolade of the season last week as Dimtry Akanda-Coronel earned the America East player of the week award after his 27-point night against the Blue Raiders on 12/29/13. Akanda-Coronel was two points shy of his career-best while also pulling down eight boards and dishing out four assists in the overtime win.
The Black Bears won its first overtime game of the season this past weekend as the team upset Middle Tennessee using the extra frame, 89-85. The Black Bears are now once again over .500 when it comes to games that require an overtime as team's under Woodward's coaching are 4-3 overall. One of those wins came against the team's next opponent as Maine defeated the Binghamton Bearcats in 2009-10 defeating its America East foe, 66-61.
Kilian Cato made a big difference in the Black Bears offense after returning to the Maine roster following academic eligibility issues in the first half of the season. Cato scored 12 apiece against Middle Tennessee and Chattanooga while hitting 9-of-17 from the field. He also grabbed seven rebounds to cap off a strong return to the Black Bear lineup. The junior from Espoo, Finland provides another presence in the paint while bringing more experience to a young Black Bear roster.
Maine's offense has been its strength so far this season, averaging 77.2 points per contest and the Black Bears now have a quintet of players averaging double-digit points. Leading the charge is Xavier Pollard who averages 16.7 points per game while the former points leader, Dimitry Akanda-Coronel, who started the season with 10-or-more points through his first five games of the season, averages 15.7, following back-to-back 20-point games. Third on the scoring list is Zarko Valjarevic who is averaging 13.2 points per game while newly returned forward Kilian Cato is fourth with 12.0 points per game and Shaun Lawton is fifth with 10.2 points per game.
The Black Bears took time this non-conference season to get to know their lineup. Through 12 games, Maine sent out nine different starting lineups. Some of this has been due to injuries to key players but for the most part Maine is continuing to work out the kinks of a young team in the first half of the season. The Black Bears feature 11 players that have started at least one contest in 2013-14.
On a team that is starved for presence in the paint; Black Bear fans should be thrilled to see the improvement of freshman Christian Ejiga. The first-year player has struggled to stay healthy so far this year but in his last three contests he has averaged 6.6 points and four rebounds while averaging 17 minutes per game. In his previous three contests he averaged just 8.3, showing he has earned the trust of the coaching staff.
Junior Xavier Pollard has proved to be a big part of the Black Bear offense so far this year. While the Bronx, N.Y., native has struggled to stay on the court after sitting out the Dr. Pepper Classic due to his second injury of the season, and he still leads the team in points per game with a 16.7 points per game along with 5.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest. He also tallied the team's first double-double of the season when he recorded 18 points and 11 rebounds against NJIT on 12/4/13.
Zarko Valjarevic has made a name for himself in college basketball for being a 3-point specialist and both the NCAA and America East rankings suggest just that. Valjarevic is ranked (as of Dec. 28) 31st in the country in made treys with 3.00 per contest while he also ranked first in the conference in the same category. Valjarevic also leads the team in 3-pointers made, hitting 34 treys so far this season.
Sophomore Shaun Lawton has been a key player for Maine this season both providing key offense from the bench as well as filling in for injured Black Bears. He first came in for Xavier Pollard who exited the Fisher game with an injury and missed two contests and also filled in for a banged up Garet Beal and has been an asset ever since.
Lawton has been an assist and steals leader for Maine as he ranks second in the conference in assists per game (as of Dec. 28), (4.7) and first in America East in steals per game (2.3). Lawton's propensity for stealing the basketball also has him ranked on the national stage as he is tied for 27th in the nation in steals per game.
Xavier Pollard recorded the team's first double-double of the season as he tallied 18 points and 11 rebounds in the team's second meeting against NJIT. It's the first double-double since last season when Pollard scored 15 points and 12 assists vs. Siena (11/25/12), while it's the last points/rebound double-double since Troy Barnies accomplished the feat against New Hampshire on Jan. 25, 2011. This was Pollard's second career double-double.
The Black Bears have done a nice job stealing the basketball in 2013-14. Maine holds a +1.2 steals margin in their games as they have tallied 98 steals limiting opponents to 84, making for a 8.2-7.0 steals per-game-average ratio. Shaun Lawton leads the steal parade recording 28 in 11 games.
The Black Bears have struggled in rebounding department so far in 2013-14. Maine enters the contest averaging 33.3 rebounds while allowing opponents to take down 44.2. That's why it should come, as no surprise that in the games that the team has been out rebounded it is 1-10.
Currently Xavier Pollard has been the Black Bears' best at coming down with the ball. He currently paces all Maine players in boards per game with 5.1.
The Black Bears have trusted the 2013-14 season to a young roster and because of that, freshmen have seen a significant amount of playing time. Garet Beal sixth on the team in minutes played as he averages 24.3 minutes per contest. While several other freshmen have played significant minutes as Troy Reid-Knight (16.6) and Christian Ejiga (12.7) both average double-digit minute figures while Erik Nissen (8.4) and Marko Pirovic (9.3) also hover around the ten minute per game mark.
Sophomore Dimitry Akanda-Coronel who is having a breakout campaign with his expanded role this year has come close to reaching 30-point for the first time since Nov. 28, 2012, when Justin Edwards scored 30 against Northeastern. Akanda-Coronel bested his career-high of 18, which he tallied against Rhode Island in the season opener by scoring 29 against NJIT on Nov. 9. He came close to that again against Middle Tennessee last weekend scoring 27. He also flirted with that 30-point mark again the following night, dropping 24 points against Chattanooga.

Secrets of Success
Lions, Tigers Pitbulls oh my!
Saturday, July 09, 2011
Good Saturday Sparkfam! Its a hot day here in Chicago but I have gotten lazy & don't wanna do anything. I got up early, took Shadow on a walk. It was moist at 7am but I was determined to walk him before it got any warmer. So I went on our normal tour. He was panting but we journeyed on. Stopped & chatted with a neighbor about the problems going on in the community & told me to "be careful." So Shadow & I went down a block we normally do go down after 7am. So I saw 2 pitbulls chained on a fence & went to the other side of the street. I should've turned around but I thought they were tied up. Well the white & grey pitbull broke free & crossed a major street to get to me & Shadow.
Well at first when I am faced with a dog I don't know, I try to keep myself between the dogs. I was so trying not to let him get his chops on Shadow's neck but that wasn't his intentions. He just wanted to smell Shadow. Well the owner was trying to call the dog but he was busy with me & Shadow. He finally came across while I ran interference. He pulled the dog's collar & began to hit the dog. I was like oh don't hit the doggie & don't make him go across that busy street he might get injured. I was out of my rabbit mind cause this dog could tore me to pieces trying to get to Shadow. I just couldn't let anything happen to him. He is a boxer & he doesn't know about fighting. He would've done his best to protect himself but I don't know if he could've done much more than that. Especially when some people train these dogs to mame & kill. I think he was a dog for protection more so than fighting. Thank God for that! That could've been my last walk for a while. God was protecting us. I believe that with my whole heart! Somebody prayed for me, maybe not by name but the collectively included a prayer of protection. Shadow was shaken but he has no clue or maybe he does how he was saved today.
Today I had grits, scrambled eggs, hash brown, honey wheat toast, sausage & orange juice. Still full right now. Will have yogurt & nectarine for a snack. PB&J for dinner, I think. Walking, weights & yoga are my workout for today.
What fear have you conquered lately? LOL
God bless & enjoy everyday!

Praise the Lord! Those chains weren't strong enough for that dog. But Praise the Lord. I believe angels were holding that dog back. years ago when I was in college I use to walk to the bus stop. There were dogs always barking. But one day it was a whole gang right in front of me as I walked. They didn't touch me. Later the Lord showed me that the angels were between me and those pack of dogs as protection. I was still a babe in Christ but I thank God for that! I always think about the angels are here for protection as well as other things they do. Praise the Lord for You! Thanks for sharing! I'm always praying for my friends for sure!
Many Blessings to You!

I am happy to hear that you and your dog were not injured Dee, You can't be too careful anymore, there are so many irresponsible pet owners that don't take the time to tie up or take care of their dogs. We have been attacked several times (including in my own yard) so I have taken the law into my own hands and started carrying pepper spray with me, My boyfriend got me the one that U use for bears so that will take down any big dogs that want a piece out of my dog. I have used it twice already and these dogs now run if they see us! I am sorry that the neighbor hit his dog, it was his fault for not being responsible! Glad that u and your dog are safe. You got me hungry for breakfast after I read what you had! Great job today Dee! and PS..... I took Casey out early today as well, too humid to do it later. God bless Ann

In the Universe there are many of girls who have fought for justice and given their lives for it!
But were about let loose probably two the most independent women in our roster to see who would win a DEATH BATTLE!
Himoka,the light-headed free-spirited wrestler!
Akane,the silly but strong hearted police officer!
Name:Akane(Last name unkown)
Weapons:Pistol,taser,fake pistol,tailosmans.
Bio:Akane is 17/18 year old cop who works for JP Interpole.She is general known for her kindness rather than being a kick a** cop.Her fathers death was her inspiration for becoming a cop,though her goals are mostly unknown.But Akane is more than your average big chested cop,she is the actually the distant reincarnation of Queen Cleopatra!And as so,she can use ablilty tailosman.Which with everyone she gains a new ability or trait.
She is also an excellent fighter,using martial arts as her offense!She is also smarter than you would think and would surely be some what of a threat......some what....
But she is not perfect,even though she has all this.Most of the time Akane is either nude in series or just plain stupid!
Her greatest fault comes from the fact that she is pretty much a choke artist and never seems to get the job done without someone saving her!
Everytime she thinks she has something under control it's either ruined by herself or someone else.
Plus she mostly shoots her pistol with her eyes closed.......even though she can shoot just fine.....
Name:Himoka Attatari
Nicknames:The "A" list,The immortal wrestler,Champion Pheonix.
Bio:Himoka Attatari is the daughter of the legendary pro wrestler "The Final Battle" and as such she a female wrestler in W.F.F..(Wrestling,Female,Federation.)
She is extremely light-headed and can be a complete IDIOT at times,but then again she can also be most brilliant fighter ever!Himoka is most tricky indeed,playing off the fact that she's "DUMB" as a ruse sometimes and surprising foes with a flurry of offense!
And as being the daughter of "The Final Battle" she is also trained in martial arts!
Knowing over 3 different styles,and 2 stances!From her casual wrestling stance to her most deadly stance,"Opener Stance".It's the stance where she sets up for the "Himoka Rush Down",her famous finishing move!
Though her most common way of taking someone out is just a good old fashion knee to the face called "The Morning Star"!
In stamina Himoka's one of the best!She is completely in control of her body,winning a marathon,and TWO triathlon!
She can even slow the pace of her heart to avoid bleeding from fatal injuries!
But that doesn't help her forgeting!I'ts rare and few but she can even be as dumb enough to forget something the second you tell her.
And sometimes forget WHAT SHE'S DOING......!!
Megaville new age of heroes!

The new satellite-derived Swiss glacier inventory revealed that mean glacier area loss per decade from 1985 to 1998/99 has accelerated by a factor of seven compared to the period 1850–1973. Moreover, the satellite data display much evidence that down-wasting (i.e. stationary thinning) has become a major source of glacier mass loss, an observation that is confirmed by in situ mass balance measurements. Many of the observedchanges (growing rock outcrops, tongue separation, formation of pro-glacial lakes, albedo lowering, collapse structures) are related to positive feedbacks which accelerate further glacier disintegration once they are initiated. As such, it is unlikely that the recent trend of glacier wastage will stop (or reverse) in the near future. In view of the rapid non-uniform geometry changes, special challenges emerged for the recently established tiered glaciermonitoringstrategy within the framework of the Global Climate/Terrestrial Observing System (GCOS/GTOS). The challenges include: (1) loss of mass balance series due to disintegrating glaciers, (2) problematic extrapolation of index stake measurements from a calibration period under different climate conditions, (3) critical evaluation of measured length changes, (4) establishment of an operational glacier inventorying strategy using satellite data and (5) the calculation of new topographic parameters after glacier split up that can be compared to previous parameters.

Armed Guards Headed to Some Newark Eateries
Small restaurants open after 9 p.m. will be required to follow the city ordinance.
While Ohio is making a point to let its residents hit bars while packing heat, the city of Newark just passed an ordinance that makes it mandatory for restaurants to put armed guards on duty from 9 p.m. until closing. The move is a response to the shooting of police officer William Johnson, who was killed while waiting to buy a slice of pizza. Only restaurants that serve fewer than twenty people — meaning fast-food restaurants, basically — have to comply. Larger places can go guard-less, presumably because people don't actually get shot in nicer sit-down places in New Jersey — or do they? [Star-Ledger]

Angela Lindvall
"To run an organic farm with lots of organic pigs and cows and chickens." -Angela Lindvall, on her dream job
Angela Lindvall has done major ad campaigns for Prada, Gucci, and Tommy Hilfiger, and was one of the finalists for the VH1/Vogue Model of the Year award. She is currently dating Titanic bad boy Billy Zane.
Angela Lindvall BiographyAngela Lindvall was born in April 1979, in Midwest City, Oklahoma, but was raised in Lee's Summit, Missouri. She got her start early on, and made it to the big leagues after a scout discovered the 14-year-old while modeling in a Kansas City fashion show.
She immediately signed with IMG in New York, and is presently signed with IMG in Paris, and Riccardo Gay in Milan.
Angela apparently took a break from age 14 to 17, but came back to the glam world at 17, and with full force.
full speed ahead
Angela was immediately seen in print ads for companies such as Cerruti 1881, Chanel, Gucci, Halston, Jil Sander, Missoni, Miu Miu, Prada, and Valentino.
The blue-eyed beauty was also gracing the covers of magazines such as the British i-D in 1996; Italian Elle and Vogue, and W in 1997; Dazed and Confused, Italian Marie Claire, and Australian, British and American Vogue in 1998; as well as Italian Elle and British Vogue in 1999.
When not on the covers of magazines, Angela was seen in all her splendor on the catwalks for high-fashion designers such as: BCBG, Calvin Klein, Celine, Chanel, Chloe, Christian Dior, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, John Galliano, Givenchy, Tommy Hilfiger, Helmut Lang, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Valentino, Versus, and Yves Saint Laurent.
She has also appeared in multi-page spreads in magazines such as Elle and W.
angela in the buff
2000 proved to be a big year for Angela, and the sought-after model was honored with a VH1/Vogue Fashion Award nomination for Model of the Year (for a second time), along with fellow favorites Gisele Bundchen (1999's winner) and "it" girl Carmen Kaas (who took home the award).
Another honor that Angela experienced in 2001 was being selected as one of the models in that year's coveted Pirelli calendar -- she, along with Gisele, Aurelie Claudel, and Rhea Durham were photographed in the nude.
Joining the ranks of Niki Taylor and Tyra Banks, the all-American beauty is now also an "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful" Cover Girl for the cosmetics company, as well as the newest face for Tommy Girl.
Word has it that she is dating actor Billy Zane, her co-star in the upcoming sci-fi movie, C.Q., in which she stars as Dragonfly.

I have a homework question which is:
If $f : [a,b]->R$ is continuous in $[a,b]$ and differentiable at $(a,b)$ and exists a point $c$ in $(a,b)$ such that $(f(c)-f(a))(f(b)-f(c))<0$ then prove that there is a point $d$ in $(a,b)$ such that $f'(d)=0$.
I am having trouble proving this - I am sure I am missing some simple algebra trick to show that $\frac {f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=0$ or something like that...
Can someone help me please?
Thanks :)

What is included with this book?

How do we know right from wrong? Do we even have moral knowledge? Moral epistemology studies these and related questions about our understanding of virtue and vice. It is one of philosophy's perennial problems, reaching back to Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Locke, Hume and Kant, and has recently been the subject of intense debate as a result of findings in developmental and social psychology.In this outstanding introduction to the subject Aaron Zimmerman covers the following key topics: What is moral epistemology? What are its methods? Including a discussion of Socrates, Gettier and contemporary theories of knowledgeSkepticism about moral knowledge based on the anthropological record of deep and persistent moral disagreement, including contextualismMoral nihilism, including debates concerning God and morality and the relation between moral knowledge and our motives and reasons to act morallyEpistemic moral scepticism, intuitionism and the possibility of inferring 'ought' from 'is,' discussing the views of Locke, Hume, Kant, Ross, Audi, Thomson, Harman, Sturgeon and many othersHow children acquire moral concepts and become more reliable judges.Criticisms of those who would reduce moral knowledge to value-neutral knowledge or attempt to replace moral belief with emotion.Throughout the book Zimmerman argues that our belief in moral knowledge can survive sceptical challenges. He also draws on a rich range of examples from Plato's Meno and Dickens's David Copperfield to Bernard Madoff and Saddam Hussein.Including chapter summaries and annotated further reading at the end of each chapter, Moral Epistemology is essential reading for all students of ethics, epistemology and moral psychology.

My brother, sisters and I all remember the Halloween in the late '70s that Mom decided that instead of candy, she'd give out popcorn. It is referred to as the "Crappy Halloween," specifically because of Mom's attempt at healthy treats -- and she pilfered and ate all of our trick-or-treating chocolate while we were in sugar-induced comas.
Poor Mom. She tried, but a healthy Halloween is a pretty big challenge.
When I starting handing out treats in my own home, I faced a different dilemma.
Those bags of mini-candy bars aren't cheap when you're planning to feed every child in the neighborhood. I didn't want to be "that house" -- the one with the candy you tricked your younger siblings into swapping with you -- or worse, threw away.
The following healthy and frugal alternatives to candy corn, chocolate bars and other traditional sugar-overkill treats won't break any dental plans -- or your pocketbook. But they will be excellent surprises for the trick-or-treaters who knock on your door this Halloween.
How can money be cheaper than a sugary treat? Because kids don't know the value of it. Ask anyone under 5 years of age if they would rather have two pennies or one quarter. They'll pick the pennies every time. Wrap up the amount you choose in a bit of Halloween plastic wrap tied with a ribbon, or just put all your change in a big bucket and dole it out, reaching into the container like you're The Donald. The kids won't know the difference.
Halloween balloons
These treats are sure to be a hit. You can find Halloween balloons at party supply stores, grocery stores and gift shops. The biggest cost you'll have with balloons is the toll they will take on your lungs. Invite some friends over to help you blow up all the balloons before kids start arriving. You might also consider having the store fill them up with helium for you -- although this might add to the cost. Remember to purchase some matching orange or black ribbon to secure the balloon.
Sugar-free gum
It's sticky, sweet and low-calorie.
Erasers, pencils and pencil toppers
Go to a teaching supply store, office supply store or dollar store and load up on Halloween-themed erasers, pencils and pencil toppers.
Small boxes of raisins
Check a bulk-sales store and compare prices with your local grocery store for the best buy.
Plastic rings
Party supply stores will have plenty of plastic rings decorated with spiders, skulls and pumpkins -- most made to fit little fingers.
Cheese and cracker packs
You'll want to comparison shop at a bulk-sale store and your grocery store for these as well. Watch the price. These can get pretty expensive if you're not careful.
Fruit cups or applesauce cups
Buy the cases with individually wrapped cups and hand out one cup per child.
You'll find lots of recipes on the Web for make-it-yourself Halloween treats -- like popcorn balls, candy apples and cookies. These may be neat and can be less expensive than store-bought candy -- but keep in mind that many parents won't want their children eating anything from a stranger that doesn't come pre-packed. But you can still make them for your guests or for your own children.
Whatever you decide to hand out, you'll have more fun if you get into the Halloween spirit. So grab a mask and some plastic fangs, pop in your DVD of "Halloween V" and invite some friends over for a spooky evening.

Yet each of us has the power to tell our physicians and our loved ones what types of medical care and treatments we do — and do not — want. I encourage you to not only discuss your personal health care goals with your physicians and loved ones but to also document these wishes. In Louisiana, we have three advance care planning tools available to us. An advance directive, or living will, gives us the ability to document the types of health care we do and do not want, and a health care power of attorney authorizes someone else to make decisions on our behalf if we become unable to make those decisions for ourselves. We also have the Louisiana Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment, or LaPOST document, designed specifically for those with serious, advanced illnesses. It is a medical order that outlines our wishes for medical treatment and goals of care. LaPOST is neither for nor against treatments, completely voluntary and is completed only after a serious discussion with our physicians about the treatment options that will best help us reach the goals we have for our end-of-life care. Please discuss your goals of care with your loved ones and health care providers. These conversations truly have the power to change lives.

According to Latino-Review on Friday, a well descriptive take on James Gunn's second full "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie trailer was revealed for the first time. Though the actual trailer isn't out, a lengthy play-by-play of the film's promotion was made available for reading.
For those who may recall, a previous tease with Peter Jason Quill encountering Korath the Pursuer. This second installment starts off as such, but then leads into a scene where Star-Lord's ship the Milano. It is heading for a desolate planet then it cuts to a scene where the entire team of "Guardians" are making their in what looks to be a space bar/pub.
There's a voice over describing each character briefly as they take on some kind of action sequence. Iconic scenes include Rocket Raccoon holding an oversized gun with his compadre Groot, Gamora in a yellow prison suit kicking someone with both feet and landing in a Natasha Romanoff-like stance, and Star-Lord firing double pistols at the camera.
Also, Ronan the Accuser is making some kind of remark that how can "the fate of 12 billion people, is in the hands of these thugs?" There is also quick scene of Ronan leading off an attack against a planet, too. There are also shots of this mysterious orb seen in previous trailers and fans may wonder if this may even one of the three Infinity Stones that are being collected to attached to the Infinity Gauntlet.
Glen Close, who is the leader of the Nova Corp, Irani Rael, is seen in her ship over a lush planet that could be the home to the Nova Corps. One could only speculate as these shots quickly move through the trailer. Close is also seen looking irate in Nova Corps session of sorts and Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit In the Sky" song is playing in the background as it hooks into Blue Swede's pace of "Hooked on a Feeling".
Notably, there are scenes where Groot is expressing, "I'm Groot!" and conveying great emotion in his face. The Bradley Cooper dialogue partaking the "tough guy" mode in the scenes for Rocket Raccoon "adjusting" himself in his yellow jumpsuit, exclaiming, "I'm just getting started", and John C Reilly once again saying, "They call themselves 'The Guardians of the Galaxy'". Right after, Reilly is seen stating, "This might not be the best idea".
As usual with previous trailers, they end it with "Hooked on a Feeling" and then as short quip of Rocket Raccoon with a war cry of sorts as he faces Ronan the Accuser in a ship-to-ship battle.
James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy" opens in theaters on Aug. 1.

Pau Gasol caused the Brazil's interior defense also sorts of trouble and it proved costly for the South Americans who conceded an 82-63 defeat to Spain on Sept. 1.
In his most impressive game of the tournament, Gasol had 26 points, 9 rebounds and three blocked shots in 29 minutes. He was 11-of-15 from the field, including 3-of-5 from beyond the arc despite going against fellow NBA players Tiago Splitter, Nene and Anderson Varejao.
Spain also received 12 points from Sergio Rodriguez scored 12 and 10 from Juan Carlos Navarro. Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol combined for just 13 points but anchored Spain's defense, holding Brazil to 41 percent shooting.
Leandro Barbosa led Brazil with 11 points while Varejao added 10 points for the Brazilians,
"It was the first opponent that we could measure our potential in the tournament. I am really pleased with the team game," Gasol said.
With the win, Spain (3-0) booked their place in the Round of 16, while Brazil (2-1), France (2-1) and Serbia (2-1) are still battling to join them. Four teams from each group advances. France routed Egypt (0-3), 94-55, while Serbia defeated Iran 83-70 yesterday.
Gasol has been the most dominant player in the World Cup, leading the tournament in scoring with 23.7 points per game in only 25.7 minutes. He is also 5th in blocked shots (2.3 per game), 3rd in efficiency, 7th in field goal percentage (65.1%) and 18th in rebounding (6.5 per game).
Spain faces France on Sept. 3, and Serbia battles Brazil.

Strip-Search Lawyers Dress Each Other Down
For decades, federal appeals courts held it unconstitutional to strip-search people arrested on minor charges without a specific reason to suspect weapons or drugs were hidden in their body cavities. A lot of jails disregarded the rulings, and some have paid a high price.
Lawyer Elmer Robert Keach III, of Amsterdam, N.Y., says he and his colleagues have racked up $36 million in class-action settlements with jails across the Northeast and as far away as Texas. Roughly 30% of that went to attorneys' fees.
Keach likes things as they are. Which is why, our colleague Jess Bravin reports, he has taken to hurling insults at lawyer Susan Chana Lask, whom he fears may have ruined it all by bringing a strip-search case before a conservative-led Supreme Court. (The same court that, last month, suggested that blanket strip-search policies might be constitutional.)
The case, which was argued in the Supreme Court on Oct. 12, started in 2005, when state police arrested a man in Mount Holly, N.J., for failing to pay an old fine. Turns out, he had paid the fine, but but he spent six days in the Burlington and Essex county jails and was strip-searched twice before a judge released him.
Lask was hired by the man, Albert Florence, and she turned to Keach for help. A class action was born. But the relationship never took.
"Susan Chana Lask is an incompetent dolt," said Keach, who predicts a 6-3 Supreme Court vote blessing blanket strip searches.
For her part, Lask said Keach—or, as she sometimes calls him, "Mr. Leech"—is "monster" who put profits ahead of the victims' cause.
More back and forth:
"Not only was this woman not ready for prime time, she wasn't ready for public access," said Mr. Keach. Fearing she would blow the case and set bad precedent, Mr. Keach said his team offered to run the case, while guaranteeing Ms. Lask a cut of any settlement.
"They start saying, 'Give us the case, you can sit back and do nothing,' " is how Ms. Lask remembers it. "[You can] go buy yourself a yacht and retire," Mr. Keach told her, she said, promising her a share of the "good life" he enjoyed through strip-search proceeds.
"I didn't want to be any part of these nasty people," Ms. Lask said. "They were like fleas, going from prison to prison to prison," sucking out settlements. When she declined Mr. Keach's invitation, he "started screaming at me and freaking out, and I hung up," she said.
Lask lost in the Third Circuit, sending Keach into a rage, and she appealed to the Supreme Court, which is expected to rule on the case before July. Tom Goldstein argued the case for them before the nine justices.

Nationals get OF DeJesus in trade with CubsAP Photo
Newly acquired Washington Nationals player David DeJesus talks with a teammate after he was traded by the Chicago Cubs to the Nationals on Monday.
CHICAGO David DeJesus and his wife were going out to get a healthy drink on Monday when the outfielder saw he had missed a call from Chicago Cubs executive Theo Epstein.
Kim DeJesus joked that he had been traded. It turns out she was right.
The Nationals acquired DeJesus in a deal with the Cubs, bolstering their bench for a late run at a playoff spot. It made for a strange day for DeJesus, who merely need to move over to the visitors clubhouse at Wrigley Field to join to his new team.
Its one of those moments, youre like, `Whoa, and time stops, DeJesus said before Washington opened a four-game series at Chicago. I look over at my wife and shes crying because she grew up in Wheaton, Illinois, 45 minutes from Wrigley Field. Its a surreal moment, it was kind of throwing me off.
But coming over here, seeing the guys and meeting the guys, its been a help. Cant wait to get the game over with - hopefully after a win - and go home and decompress a little bit.
DeJesus hit .250 with six homers and 27 RBIs in 84 games with the Cubs, who began the day in last in the NL Central. His new team is on the edge of the playoff race the Nationals were 9½ games back of Cincinnati for the NLs second wild-card slot coming into the series but DeJesus was excited for the opportunity.
Im going to give it my all, he said. Try and be a guy out there as a leader and a guy that young guys can learn from.
The 33-year-old DeJesus is a career .279 hitter with 86 homers and 513 RBIs in 11 seasons with Kansas City, Oakland and Chicago. He can play all three outfield spots.
Hes a great addition, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. Hes a quality player. Anybody gets hurt, he can step right in and play at a high level.
DeJesus was one of the first acquisitions for the Cubs after Epstein became the president of baseball operations. He agreed to a $10 million, two-year contract in November 2011.
The Cubs get a player to be named in the trade with the Nationals, but they also save about $2.5 million, including a $1.5 million buyout for a 2014 team option worth $6.5 million. General manager Jed Hoyer said the money was a strong consideration.
We really like David a lot, Hoyer said. Ive told his agent and Theo told David directly, wed be willing to talk to him about bringing him back at some point. Hes a good mentor for our younger guys.
The Cubs activated outfielder Brian Bogusevic from the 15-day disabled list to take DeJesus roster spot, and Hoyer said outfielder Ryan Sweeney likely will begin a rehab stint next week. Bogusevic had been out with a strained left hamstring, and Sweeney is recovering from a broken left rib.
The Nationals released outfielder Roger Bernardina to make room on their roster. Bernardina hit .178 in 85 games with Washington.

Patrick Patterson's debut to NBA summer league was stellar.
LeBron James bought ESPN's integrity for an infomercial. And, Jesse Jackson grabbed headlines and an hour with Larry King before Al Sharpton. Jackson called Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert a slave master and LeBron a runaway slave.
Close to home, Melvin Turpin left us at age 49.
While yesterday morning's relentless downpours kept most people indoors, nearly one hundred courageous youngsters with cancer jumped into their swim wear and ponchos and headed for Taylorsville Lake.
Since 1981, dozens of kids hailing from around Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio have come together every year for Indian Summer Camp, a free, week-long, non-profit program that is meant to improve the quality of life and raise the spirits of kids who are currently battling cancer or who have beaten the illness.
A host family is being sought to provide a home to a foreign exchange student from Switzerland. The 18-year-old male student will be arriving in July 31 in time to attend school at Spencer County High School. The student enjoys playing piano, soccer and is interested in learning American football. He will remain in the United States until June 2011.
If you are interested in providing a home and all the necessary transportation that a typical active teenager requires, then please call International Exchange Coordinator Sally Crespo at 477-1972.
Taylorsville commissioners are looking into the idea of building a small park across from city hall. The proposal, presented by Main Street Committee Chairman John Shircliffe, included a long, meandering sidewalk with benches and a clock tower anchored by a short, brick wall.
"I'd like to donate that clock as part of the effort," Shircliffe told commissioners at last Tuesday's meeting.
Will Edwards, a rising 8th grader at Spencer County Middle School was selected as a Gatorade All-American after participating in the Offense-Defense Camp in Charlotte, NC over the July 4th weekend. There were over 125 players from all over the Southeast that attended. Edwards was selected as the best WR/DB in the 12-13 year old age group. He was invited to participate in the Offense-Defense All American Bowl in Myrtle Beach, SC during New Year's Weekend 2011.
It may not have been the hottest day of the year but it was close. With the temperature in the 90s and humidity levels up to 75 percent before it even thought about raining, patrons of the Spencer County Library flooded the tailwaters June 15 for part of the Summer Reading Program.
Spencer County Schools are proud to announce the winners of the annual district Young Authors contest.
The contest was available to both elementary schools and the middle school.
Many students participated and wrote a short story from rough draft to publication. Representative books were sent for the school judging from participating classrooms. These books were then scored by students in the fourth and fifth grades based on the criteria of the contest.
The following winners were awarded certificates in May:
Mulching offers many benefits for landscaping in your yard and gardens. Some of these include retained moisture, weed control, improved drainage, lower soil temperature, erosion prevention and protection from mowers and trimmers. As they decompose, mulches also release minerals into the soil and leave behind humus which is good for plants.
I look forward each week reading your newspaper because of your strong support for the Christian faith. Our country and its leaders are getting further and further away from our founding fathers fundamental faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. And this week what a thrill it was to see on the front page of the Spencer Magnet newspaper, people being baptized in the Salt River. This is a tremendous testimony for what your newspaper stands for and a witness to its readers.

This book provides practical guidance on what remains the single most important statutory basis for police duties and powers in England and Wales, the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and its Codes of Practice. The second edition has been fully updated and includes revised and expanded case studies and diagrams. There is further information dealing with the application of the Act for those outside the police charged with investigating offences, such as Revenue and Customs, the Armed Forces, security officers and Community Support Officers. Amendments to the Codes of Practice, including Code A (December 2008), Codes B, C and D (January 2008), and Codes E and F (April 2010), are also included. With the aid of check-lists, flow-charts and illustrative examples, this book gives excellent guidance on how the procedures and requirements of the Act apply to common every day scenarios facing police officers, as well as other persons charged with the investigation of offences. The appendices contain the full text of the Act, in addition to the latest version of the Codes of Practice. This is an essential reference source which the busy police officer or legal practitioner cannot afford to be without.

Food Network Star Ellie Krieger's Dos and Don'ts of Cooking Healthfully
The key to eating healthfully—following a diet that fends off disease and maybe shrinks your waist—is to cook your own meals. But who has time to whip up a nutritious meal at the end of a long day? As it turns out, you do…so long as you practice a few simple tricks. Here are some shortcuts and nutritional advice from Food Network star Ellie Krieger, author (most recently) of Weeknight Wonders: Delicious, Healthy Dinners in 30 Minutes or Less

Using the RAST Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Server
RAST is designed to rapidly call and annotate the genes of a complete or essentially complete prokaryotic genome (
). RAST, Rapid Annotations based on Subsystem Technology, uses a "Highest Confidence First" assignment propagation strategy based on manually curated subsystems and subsystem-based protein families that automatically guarantees a high degree of assignment consistency. RAST returns an analysis of the genes and subsystems in your genome, as supported by comparative and other forms of evidence.
Because NMPDR and the
provide access to all essentially complete, public genomes without a user account, the use of RAST without an account makes no senseyou must have a free account in order for access to your data to be kept under your control. The tools available in RAST for comparing your new private data to public genomes are mostly the same as those available for analyzing public genomes at NMPDR (www.nmpdr.org).
This tutorial starts with the assumption that you have a file containing genome sequence data. If you need a file for use in this tutorial, one is available on the
page. If you have immediate interest in a compelete genome not yet available in NMPDR, or a draft genome,
download from NCBI
The tour of the
RAST server
will follow the workflow listed below. For short answers to specific questions, see the

Upload and manage your job
Sequence format and upload steps
Log in and select "Upload New Job" from the "Your Jobs" menu.
Step 1:
Browse for the sequence file which must be a plain text file in either
FASTA format
GenBank format
only. (Need data?
Multiple contigs or replicons of the same genome should all be together in one file.
Files encoded as html, pdf, rtf, doc, docx, embl, gff3, or gtf will be rejected. Sequences in the correct FASTA or Genbank format must NOT be in a Microsoft Word document--save as a plain text (*.txt) file, text encoding Windows (default); do NOT insert line breaks or allow character sustitution.
Click the button to "Upload and go to step 2."
Step 2:
Provide the name of the organism and choose a translation table.
If you know or find the taxonomy ID from NCBI, paste it into the text box. Then, when you select either Bacteria or Archaea with the radio button, the corresponding genus, species, and strain will autofill accurately. If you do not know or cannot find an ID in the NCBI Taxonomy database, then fill in the genus (one word), species (one word), and strain (any number of words). RAST will provide a dummy ID number corresponding to nothing in the taxonomy database.
Most bacteria use version 11 of the
genetic code
, but mycoplasmas and spiroplasmas use version 4.
Step 3:
Provide information about the sequence data and select settings.
If you uploaded a GenBank file, you may elect to preserve gene calls. Since there are no gene calls in a FASTA file, this choice would be unavailable.
Select whether the translated proteins should reflect corrected frame shifts if you have low-quality sequence data.
Look at the information in the "Upload summary" tab to confirm that the system detected the sequence data you intended to upload.
Click the button to "Finish Upload."
Manage your job
From the "Your Jobs" menu, select "Jobs Overview." If you have logged out, you will be directed to your jobs overview upon logging back in. Your annotation job could be complete in as few as 8 hours.
Track progress:
All of your jobs are displayed in a table with active headers.
An overview of the progress is shown in the table as a series of colored boxes. Select the link to view details of one job.
Access completed job:
From the details page, you may view or download the annotated genome.
How to navigate the genome viewer will be discussed below.
Download formats include GenBank, GFF3, and EMBL; with and without EC numbers.

You can share this job with others by clicking the link and adding the email addresses (one at a time) of registered users to whom you would like to grant access to your otherwise private data.
If you would like to share with many people, e.g. a class, request a new group by emailing rast
mcs.anl.gov. Group memberships may be viewed from the account management page, which is accessed by clicking on the pair of people at the far right of the green menu bar
. This is also where you can change your password, if needed.
Delete job:
First you must click on the "view details" link in the jobs table. Then, the green menu bar in the header of the page will provide an option labeled with your job number. The only action to choose from this menu is "Delete this job." An intermediate screen will appear to confirm whether you are sure you want to delete. Click the button to do so.
View your annotated genome results
Organism Overview page
From the jobs table, click on "view details" and then "Browse annotated genome in SEED Viewer"
The overview page opens with a table that lists how many contigs, how many genes, the number of genes that are assigned to complete subsystems, and the subsystem categories represented in your genome.
The green "Features in Subsystems" tab displays all genes and other features that are automatically included in subsystems because one similar sequence was found for all roles in a functional variant of the subsystem. The table is resortable and downloadable.
In the menu bar, under Organism, the feature table will display all annotated features in your genomeboth those in and not in complete subsystems. Click on any feature ID to open the Annotation Overview page for a selected feature.
Annotation Overview pages for individual features
Compare Regions
displays the new genome at the top in comparison with 4 other closely related genomes.
Sets of homologous proteins located in the genomic region are presented in the same color with a numerical label.
To expand the graphic comparison to more genomes, click the advanced button, select the option to collapse close genomes, type in a larger number of genomes (20), select PCH pin for clustered genes, or leave at similarity for isolated genes, then click the button to redraw the graphic.
All information in the graphic is presented in a table in the next tab.
Walk the chromosome or contigs of your new genome
Browse genome
Access to the genome browser is available from the menu bar, under Organism -> Genome Browser, and in the hint box at the top of the Organism Overview page.
The genome browser provides a visual tour of the annotated features. You may choose a larger window, and you may color the features by subsystem or clustering. Click navigation arrows to move forward or back along the genome. Clicking a feature arrow in the graphic will center the graphic on that protein and color the focus protein red. Mouse over any feature to pop up its identity.
The table beneath the graphic allows you to scan or search for a feature of interest. Click the "Show" button in the Region column to focus the browser graphic on the selected feature. Click on the details button in the focus tab to open the Annotation Overview page for the protein of focus.
Click on any feature ID in the table to open its Annotation Overview page.
Metabolic reconstruction of your new genome--automated subsystems assignments
The genome overview page displays a pie chart of complete subsystems identified in the genome.
Expand the categories to see subcategories and subsystem names, along with the number or proteins assigned to each.
The table (click the green "Features in Subsystems" tab) provides similar access; you can select the "Carbohydrates" category from the column header.
From the Carbohydrates category either in the chart or table, click to open the Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis subsystem.
The subsystem opens with a focus on the diagram (if there is one); other views are arranged in tabs at the top of the content frame. Click on the spreadsheet tab.
The spreadsheet is arranged with functional roles in columns, genomes in rows, and genes annotated to those roles in the respective cells. Within one row, genes that are clustered on the genome are shown in the same color.
Use the header of the organism column to focus the display on your new genome. If you have several private genomes you would like to display, use the column selection panels to iinclude selected jobs in the table.
Click on any of the genes in the newly annotated genome to open its Annotation Overview page, which will open in a new window or tab.
How does your genome
compare with others?
Run the sequence-based comparison tool
From the page showing the subsystem, go back on your browser to return to the overview, then select "Sequence-based comparison" from the Comparative Tools menu.
Step 1:
Select a reference genome. If your private sequence is in many contigs, the best selection may be a known, high-quality genome.
Step 2:
Select up to three comparison genomes.
Step 3:
Click button to compute.
This tool allows you to select from all your private genomes as well as all public genomes. Protein sequence similarities are computed on demand, which allows you to select from all your annotation jobs.
The example illustrated below uses two private jobs, the GenBank and FASTA versions of the same
Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus
MGCS10565 genome in order to compare the preserved, published gene calls to the RAST-computed gene calls. The second two genomes are nephritogenic strains of
Streptococcus pyogenes
from the list of public genomes. Notice that the most similar sequences are ribosomal proteins.
Results are computed on demand in real time using BLASTP to compare every protein in the reference genome to every protein in the comparison genomes.
Results are presented in a color-coded table and in a circular map, in order of the contigs/genes in the reference genome. If your private genomes are in multiple contigs, and you use a closed, public genome as the reference, these results will help order your contigs.
Comparison proteins are listed with their contig number, gene number, and length. The gene numbers are linked to pop-up boxes that list the annotation (name) as well as the proportion of identical amino acids.
The amino acid identity of the comparison genomes relative to the reference is color-coded on a scale that is not linear, but logarithmic, and that follows the order of the visible spectrum.
How does your genome
compare with others in the database?
Run the function-based comparison tool
From the Comparative Tools menu of the organism summary page, select "Function-based comparison."
Step 1:
Your newly annotated genome is already input as the reference.
Step 2:
Highlight one comparison genome in the list.
Step 3
: Click the "Select" button
The table opens with all features in your genome (A) or the comparison genome (B) that are associated with a complete subsystem.
The table is sortable, searchable by subsystem category or name, and downloadable.
The first column may be reset to show features associated with subsystems in genome A, but not B; in both A and B; or in B but not A. When genome B is very closely related to the new genome, A, this comparison of which functions are annotated in B but not automatically associated with subsystems in A indicates a place to begin looking at the annotations to evaluate accuracy or find missing functions. It is important to keep in mind that automated subsystem assignments are made only if all roles required for one functional variant of a subsystem have been correctly annotated. Annotations are assigned based on sequence similarity, while inclusion in subsystems is based on the annotation matching that of a functional role of a subsystem. Therefore, if the best sequence match to your new protein has a functional annotation that does not match exactly to the name of a role in a subsystem, the protein in your new genome will not be included in the subsystem. Such an event may occur when the protein with the best sequence match in the database has not yet been reviewed and anotated by the curator of the subsystem in question.
How to include two or more jobs (private organisms) in comparative analyses
Set private organism preferences
For each individual job, RAST calculates similarities between all features in the input genome (private genome) and all features the
database (public genomes). In order for two or more of your jobs to be displayed in compare regions or other comparative tools, the similarities of features in the private genomes to each other must be calculated. In order to maintain privacy of the data in each job, the similarities between two or more private genomes are calculated only upon request.
Select "Private Organism Preferences" from the Your Jobs menu
Shift the genomes you want to compare with each other into the peers box at right by selecting them (one at a time) and clicking the right-pointing arrow.
Click the button to check requirements for computation.
Select those comparisons that require calculation, then click the button to request computation.
You will recieve an email when the computation is complete.

How to Determine Future Value of Cash Flows
Original post by Leslie McClintock of Demand Media
One of the underlying axioms of the study of finance is the rule that a dollar in hand today is worth more than the promise of a dollar in hand tomorrow, and a dollar in hand tomorrow is worth more than a dollar in hand in a year. The difference between the value of a dollar in hand today and the current market value of a dollar in hand tomorrow is the "interest rate," also referred to as the "time value of money" (TVM). To determine the future value of a stream of payments, each earning a reasonable market interest rate from the time you receive it, you must perform a time value of money calculation on a TVM calculator.
Step 1
Purchase a time value of money calculator, or access a TVM calculator on the Web.
Step 2
Familiarize yourself with the different functions. Specific abbreviations may vary somewhat from calculator to calculator, but each calculator should have a field or function for entering the following items: present value (PV), future value (FV), Payment (P) interest rate (I), number of compounding periods (N), and a function to enter how often the interest compounds. In most cases, you will use annual compounding figures.
Step 3
Enter the present sum you have in hand that will be compounding into the box labeled "PV." Enter the amount of steady cash flow you expect to receive into the box labeled "P." Enter the compounding period into the box labeled "annual," unless you have a contract specifying monthly, weekly or daily compounding. If you do, select the appropriate box.
Step 4
Enter your expected rate of return into the box labeled "I" or "interest." This figure should not be lower than the risk free rate of return you can receive from money market funds or guaranteed investment contracts (GICs). It should not be unrealistically high, either. If you are purchasing a fixed annuity, the insurance company should specify a guaranteed rate of return for you. Otherwise, a financial adviser can help you select a reasonable, conservative rate of return. As a proxy, you can use the rate banks are charging on 30 year mortgages in your market for a conservative rate of return.
Step 5
Press the button marked "FV" or "Future Value." If you get an error, it may be because your "payment" should be a negative number.
Tips & Warnings
- Remember, money paid to you is positive, while money you pay into an investment is negative. As long as you assign a different polarity to cash flows coming in as well as going out, you should have no trouble generating an expected future value of a series of equal cash flows.
