Elegant & Magnificent
A work by the great 16th century architectural genius, Mimar Sinan, Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Bath 1556 stands out as much for its elegance as for its sheer magnificence.
Its construction commissioned by Hürrem Sultan, the wife and head concubine of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, to supply an income for the waqfs or charitable foundations, it was the largest Ottoman bath ever built in Istanbul. Erected in the year 964 A.H. (1556/57) directly opposite the Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya Mosque), it is known today as the Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı.
This elegant structure, one of the monuments that best reflects Ottoman classical architecture, was built as a pair of baths which are almost exact replicas of each other except for a few details. The bath to the north on the Ayasofya/Hagia Sophia side was reserved for men while the bath to the south overlooking the Blue Mosque was for women.
One of the structural elements that distinguishes the Ayasofya Bath is the vault over the entrance to the men's section. Its equal almost never seen in other baths, this five-segment vault, which exhibits the extraordinary elegance that was Sinan's signature, is reminiscent of a mosque in appearance. There is an inscription over the entrance by a poet called Hüdaî.
The cold, or dressing, rooms of the double bath are its most striking sections, insofar as they were constructed with higher ceilings than the others and each one is illuminated by an octagonal skylight atop its dome. The hot section in contrast has lower ceilings.
These two baths, the men's and women's sections in other words, exhibit an architectural approach rarely encountered elsewhere in the sense that they were built at the opposite ends of a massive block 75 meters long on a north-south axis.
The Ayasofya Bath stood at the center of a densely settled quarter until the İshak Paşa fire of 1913 when close to the entire quarter surrounding it was destroyed and it was almost the only structure left standing. In 1916-1917 the bath was redesigned as a museum and a passageway opened in the wall between the men's and women's sections. The project however never came to fruition and only a large carpet exhibition was held here in the 1930's. The bath, which was used in turn as a petrol depot and printshop depot in subsequent years, underwent its first major restoration in 1957-1958 and was finally restored to its original appearance following extensive repairs in 1986. Numerous exhibitions have been held at the venue, which was rented by the Culture Ministry in 1988. Then, in 2008, restoration work got under way again, this time with the aim of restoring the structure to its original function as a bath. Today the Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı welcomes visitors as the most magnificent of all Ottoman public baths.
Ayasofya Bath is a double bath with separate sections for men and women. Both sections consist of cold, warm and hot rooms.
The men's and women's sections of the bath at are opposite ends of the building complex, which appears as a massive block 75 meters long.
All domes are lead-covered in the Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı, which is the only bath with two domes on a single axis. All these features make the Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı the most magnificent bath in Ottoman history.

The Carnival Dream recently completed a two week dry dock for some exciting upgrades. The Carnival Dream now has some of the latest Fun Ship 2.0 features that her sister ships already have. On the lido deck you will now find the RedFrog Rum Bar, which offers a selection of Caribbean rum-based concoctions and Carnival's private label draught beer, ThirstyFrog Red. Also added to the lido deck is the BlueIguana Tequila Bar, featuring frozen tequila drinks and Mexican beers.
For added entertainment, the Carnival Dream now has the Punchliner Comedy Club. This club features comedians picked by George Lopez. On sea days, the club hosts the Punchliner Comedy Brunch, with hourly performances combined with great food and drink. Cherry on Top is the new shop which is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth with a large selection of candies and more.
The Carnival Dream sails regularly from Port Canaveral, which is reachable from Baltimore by flying into Orlando International Airport. Transfers can be purchased from Carnival, though my recommendation is to ask your travel agent about hotels in the Cocoa Beach area that provide bus service. You should fly in the night before your cruise so you can be well rested and not worried about missing the ship should weather delays occur.
The Carnival Dream alternates Eastern and Western Caribbean 7-night sailings. The Eastern Caribbean route has scheduled port calls in Nassau, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. The Western Caribbean route has scheduled port calls in Cozumel and Costa Maya in Mexico as well as Belize. I will be sailing on the Carnival Dream on October 20th and will write a series of review articles when I get back. If you would like to sail with me, there are a few cabins left.

A plastic mold for making gelatin desserts and salads sealed Eva Mae Pugh's decision to become a Tupperware lady in the 1970s.
Eva couldn't afford to purchase a Tupperware Jel-Ring Mold, so she agreed to host a Tupperware party in exchange for receiving the coveted mold as a complimentary gift. By the end of the party, she had become enamored with the products and was certain that she could sell them.
During her 30-some years of peddling plastic, Eva's consistently high marks in Tupperware sales earned her a livable income and many more impressive gifts, including fine jewelry, furniture and a van, which she could not drive.
"She was always up in the top with her sales, even though she never drove a day in her life," said Susan Enzor, a Tupperware colleague. "Her husband would drive her (and the Tupperware products) to parties."
After her husband, Oris, died in 1986, Eva earned a van from Tupperware and engaged others to act as her chauffeur.
"At the time, with your sales, you could earn a vehicle that Tupperware paid for — insurance and everything," Enzor said. "You had to be in the higher ranks of selling to be vaneligible. Eva was always in the higher ranks."
|The Dash Between:
About this feature
The Dash Between is an obituary feature written by Alana Baranick about regular folks from Lorain County and adjacent areas.
Baranick wrote her first obit in 1985 when she was a reporter for The Chronicle. She wrote obituaries for Cleveland's Plain Dealer from 1992 through 2008.
She is the chief author of "Life on the Death Beat: A Handbook for Obituary Writers" and director of the Society of Professional Obituary Writers. She won the 2005 American Society of Newspaper Editors Distinguished Writing Award in the Obituary category.
Today, Alana Baranick examines The Dash Between April 19, 1924, when Eva Mae Fisher was born in West Virginia, and July 24, 2010, when the Tupperware lady died at New Life Hospice Center at Community Health Partners Hospital in Lorain at age 86.
The Dash Between is scheduled to appear in The Chronicle every other Sunday.

The Lorain resident, who died July 24, 2010, at age 86, did more than demonstrate how to burp the air out of food storage bowls to create an airtight seal. She shared recipes and entertained partygoers with first-person accounts of using Tupperware products in her own kitchen.
She also offered tips on saving money and being pragmatic.
Fellow Tupperwarians called Eva their "Tupper Greeter."
"She loved being at the door to welcome everyone who came into our sales meetings," said Mary Rust, who worked with Eva for 10 years.
Eva embraced challenges, such as presenting skits at national sales meetings.
"She did a skit on how not to conduct a Tupperware party," Rust said. "She was so hilarious that people were rolling on the floor. She kept such a straight face. All the while, she was doing everything wrong. She came out dressed in the most awful clothes, rollers in her hair and cigarette in her mouth. It was so-o-o not Eva, but so-o-o funny!"
The West Virginia native was born Eva Mae Fisher, a coal miner's daughter, on April 19, 1924. Her father also worked in construction and ran a store with her mother.
Eva graduated from high school and began her sales career at a store in Webster Springs, W.Va.
She married Oris Pugh, a World War II Army veteran, on July 20, 1946. They were the parents of six children: Larry, Michael, James, Edward, Regina and Ronald, who died in 2008. In 1953, the Pughs joined a large portion of the population of Webster Springs in migrating to Lorain for job opportunities.
Oris worked at the Lorain steel mill for a short time before getting into the mobile home business. The Pughs also ran P&L Mobile Home Park and sold trailers in Lorain for more than 20 years.
"Dad did the maintenance; Mom did the selling," said their son, Michael. "They always had partners. They started in the 1950s and stopped in the 1970s just before Mom started with Tupperware."
Eva had gained experience as a public speaker in the 1960s as a result of losing weight with TOPS — Take Off Pounds Sensibly. During her first 10 months with the TOPS program, she lost 80 pounds and was crowned the 1964 Lorain County TOPS Queen.
She lost more than 100 pounds, and held leadership posts at meetings in Lorain, Erie and Huron counties.
In the late 1960s, Eva and Oris moved to Middletown, where they sold mobile homes. They returned to Lorain in about 1972. Within a few years, Eva switched from trailers to smaller items and sold Avon products before switching to Tupperware. She became a mentor, always advising people, "You have to work your business. You can't wait for business to come to you."
"She always shared her ideas how to be a good Tupperware rep," said Nora Ritter, whom Eva took under her wing. "My goal was always to match her in sales each month. Trust me.
It was hard to match her in sales, and she loved it that I tried."
Eva continued with Tupperware after having a stroke that affected her speech and mobility. She set up her product display in her living room and had customers come to her.
She also worked at the Tupperware kiosk at Midway Mall and the Lorain County Fair, using a wheelchair or walker to get around. Eva eventually regained her speech and walked again but retired when bad knees interfered with her doing parties.
"She taught us all: Tupperware is more than just selling plastic," Enzor said. "We became a family. She was like a mom to me."

Rural property owners may get fire hydrants on South Forks Road, as compensation for access problems during construction of the city water treatment plant.
City council will address the question after the Regional District of Nanaimo voted to support the South Forks Road residents' concerns.
The city is building a new water chlorination plant about 1.5 kilometres north of the Gogo family Christmas tree farm and cedar sawmill.
It's part of a bigger project that will bring Nanaimo's water supply up to provincial health standards by 2015.
Residents living in 14 homes will be affected through next spring, as city contractor Knapp-ett Industries installs water pipes in a five-metre-wide trench along South Forks Road.
During construction, affected residents will be unable to use their driveway during the day.
"We're getting extremely inconvenienced," said Karen Gogo.
Twice daily she navigates through flagging crews to take her two daughters to and from Cedar Secondary School.
Construction is currently on Nanaimo Lakes Road. When it reaches Jeanette Pongratz-Doyle's property on South Forks Road, it will be the first property to be cut off.
She appeared before the regional board Tuesday with the community's concerns about traffic snarls and forest fires.
Tanks of chlorine are another worry for residents.
"Should we be compromised by forest fires, those tanks are compromised and our community is left to deal with it," Pongratz-Doyle said.
The Extension Fire Department, which serves the area, has a pumper truck that would have to haul water from a distance to fight fires, where hydrants would provide immediate response.
When city staff consulted residents last year, "it was the perfect opportunity" to ask for hydrants, said Maureen Young, area representative.
City staff understand residents' concerns but said sprinklers in the chlorination plant mean the community should not be put at risk in the event of a forest fire.
"There were some concerns expressed by residents, and understandably," said Bill Sims, city manager of water resources.
After her presentation, the regional board voted to send a letter of support to the city of Nanaimo. That has buoyed residents' hopes.
"It is huge," said Pongratz-Doyle. "When everyone's hands went up in support, that showed me they heard me . . . It felt good."
The item goes before Nanaimo city council Monday.
Seven city councillors sit on the regional board.

Being a good grandparent means giving both you kids and grandchildren a LOT of space. If you're involved with them more than twice a month it's selfish interference, not love.

I think I can understand why Dennis feels as he does, but I can't understand what makes him think he is in a position to establish "twice a month" as a universal standard. The frequency of grandparental involvement is going to vary a great deal from family to family, and there's no reason to think more than twice a month is necessarily equal to "selfish interference."

Wow... I would love to know the justification of this statement. Twice a month. I am not a grand parent... but I think I would disagree with this kind of a "rule" and judgement behind the motivation... pretty much 100%.

(AP Photo/Mary Altaffer) Darrell Williams| Special to The Advocate March 25, 2013; 7:32 p.m. Comments NEW ORLEANS — Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon was in line to sit out Monday night's game against Denver with a sore left ankle. Coach Monty Williams said during his pregame media session that it was "highly unlikely" Gordon would play. Gordon dressed for the game but was not in the starting lineup. Darius Miller, a rookie from Kentucky, started in his place. Gordon joined point guard Greivis Vasquez on the sideline, meaning the Hornets were without their starting backcourt. Williams said after Monday morning's shoot-around that Vasquez would miss his first game of the season after he "tweaked" his left ankle during Sunday's practice. The ankle had been bothering Vasquez for weeks. "I just found out about midday today (about Gordon)," Williams said. "Par for the course." Gordon tweeted a picture of the ankle, which appears to have some swelling. He missed the first 29 games of the season with a right bruised knee and patella disorder before returning Dec. 29 vs. Charlotte. Since, he has been restricted to 30 minutes per game and hasn't played the second of back-to-back games. Gordon, who has played 30 games this season, is averaging 16.5 points, tied with power forward Ryan Anderson for the team lead. Vasquez said he will have an X-ray on Tuesday and try to be ready for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He had started in all 70 games this season, 69 at point guard.

Will Your Service Cost Anything?
The online database is completely free of charge for volunteers and organizations.
What Are All These Forms?
The comprehensive information we collect from you on these forms makes our unique search engine possible. In most cases, once you've set up your organization and listings, you'll only need to update, activate or deactive existing forms:
- The Agency Signup Form allows you to describe your organization at the top level. Your mission, your structure and your history all have a place here. We encourage you to be brief and stick to the facts, as wordy descriptions may lose volunteers.
- The Opportunity Signup Form allows you to give a very specific description of a single volunteer opportunity or event at your organization. It is up to you to fill out as many copies of this form as you have distinct opportunities. You can deactivate and re-activate if positions are full or seasonal.
- The Board Opportunity Signup Form allows you to provide information specific to board/committee service, which allows potential volunteers to more fully assess their interest before contacting you.
How Does Your Site Work?
It's simple. Someone is interested in volunteering. They come to our site and tell us where they are located, what issues interest them, what skills they can apply and what time constraints they have. Our web site automatically returns a list of the volunteer opportunities that best fit their profile. The volunteer reads through the descriptions and picks an opportunity that is of interest. The volunteer has all the information to contact your agency and from there it's up to them to call and up to you to answer.
Can I Search for Volunteers Directly?
Though we are often asked, we do not currently support this option. You have a number of ways to post information with us, but then you must wait for the volunteers to contact you.
What Sort of Volunteers Will I Get?
Volunteers come to this web site from every walk of life. You will find high school students, college students, professionals in various fields, homemakers, retired people, corporate executives and employees of other nonprofits. Anyone looking to make a difference may come to this web site.
How Can I Help You Grow?

First, my PC:
AMD Phenom 9600 Quad-Core 2.4 GHz
160 GB boot HDD
1 TB & 120 GB secondary HDD
Nvidia GeForce 8600 GTS
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
I have my power settings as follows:
Turn off the display: 10 minutes
Turn off hard disk: 20 minutes
Sleep after: Never
After a while, I'll come back to use my computer again, wiggle the mouse, and the screen comes back on like normal, but the desktop is unresponsive. I can move the cursor, but nothing responds to clicks or keyboard entry. If I click a few times with the mouse, the computer eventually locks up completely and the mouse cursor stops moving as well. After I restart, everything works just fine.
Is there a log you recommend checking or really any suggestions would be welcome at this point.

I have just installed a SAS disk into a Debian server. It was detected correctly and everything was fine.
Then I moved the SAS disk to a different Debian server, the same hardware model and running same version of Debian, but here the SAS disk is detected as /dev/sg7 and not /dev/sdb.
smartctl -a /dev/sg7 works fine, but
fdisk and
cat hang.
I tried putting the SAS disk in another slot: Same problem.
How can I force the SAS disk to be detected as /dev/sdb?

Syracuse University head football Coach Scott Schafer was busy during the 2014 ACC Football Kickoff Media Days today with droves of reporters and appearances on The ACC Network as well as on ESPNU this afternoon.
Syracuse is being picked around 4th in the Atlantic Division according to an ESPN poll behind Florida State, Clemson, and old-foe, ACC newcomers Louisville.
Coach Shafer sold the university's core on-air as finding those guys that are diamonds in the rough, guys you can mold into players like Donovan McNabb who was not highly recruited. He also threw out the names of the Jones brothers, Art Monk, Dwight Freeney, and even Jim Brown. He had a laugh at how the southern schools make such a big deal of our weather here, but he turned that around into, "I like the four seasons myself," and how it is such a great area to raise a family. He talked up how SU is one of the top Universities in the country and how great it is that the players have that degree in their hand when they leave. He chatted up his recruiters and how they have done excellent work getting back into New Jersey, Connecticut, along with expanding an already good presence in South Florida. He pointed out that SU actually signed more players from Illinois than Northwestern and Illinois last year. Coach Schafer has a firm grasp in just his second season and he just 'gets' where the team is, where they want to go, and what they need to do to get there. The goal, of course, is to compete with defending National Champions Florida State and Clemson. To get SU into the discussion to win a division title and to get those high-ranking recruits that fit the program onboard.
Check out the interview courtesy ACC Digital Network from yesterday as coach talks with Jeff Fischel. It promises to be a fun season and the coach can't wait for August to get here. Syracuse is on the rise.

Re: process the list in reverse order in batch file
giskier <gonzaloi@...>
You can always reverse the original string, and then process the reversed string front to back for what you need to accomplish. Sample code which will reverse a comma separated string is: setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION set foo=one,two,three,four set revFoo= set commaAdder= :reverseLoop for /F "tokens=1,* delims=," %%p in ("!foo!") do (set revFoo=%%p!commaAdder!!revFoo!&set foo=%%q&set commaAdder=,) if not "!foo!" == "" goto :reverseLoop echo foo is !foo! echo revFoo is !revFoo! In order to better debug your batch code, I recommend using Running Steps. The batch debugger from Stepping Software (http://www.steppingsoftware.com). It has a code analyzer which provides you with errors and warnings even before you start executing, plus you can step through your code, watch variables, etc. Good Luck GISkier -- -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/process-the-list-in-reverse-order-in-batch-file-tp24846264p24877981.html(Continue reading)

Cappello's is a Colorado-based gourmet food company specializing in hand-made gluten-free, grain-free products. Founded by friends Stacey Marcellus and Benjamin Frohlichstein in 2011, Cappello's was born out of the intention to create something that represents their core values. Part of that vision was to craft a traditional product untraditionally.
The company mission is simple: provide fresh, uniquely delicious options for artisan food-lovers, healthy eaters and people with dietary restrictions. The Cappello's lineup currently includes gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, and dairy-free fettuccine, gnocchi, and lasagna. In addition, Cappello's offers chocolate chip cookie dough, which is also vegan. All products are available online through their website or in markets and restaurants in Colorado and throughout the United States.
While living on a farm in Argentina, Stacey learned the art of making homemade gnocchi, where it's traditionally eaten on the 29thand reconnected with Ben, and after she became aware of her gluten intolerance, the idea for Cappello's was born, and they began making pasta 24/7. They worked daily to perfect their recipes —recipes that would eventually evolve into the final, tried-and-tested formula.
"When we began exploring pasta-making, our goal was to use the highest-quality ingredients to yield a product that is delicious and intentional," explains Ben. "The Cappello's brand was originally focused on the gluten-free community, but we've found that our pastas have reached a diverse range of consumers, from the food-curious, to diabetics, to people subscribing to the paleo lifestyle."
Cappello's is a result of Stacey and Ben's desire to create a totally unique food company, change the reputation of gluten-free products, and offer a traditional, yet health-minded line of foods made untraditionally, without sacrificing quality and taste. Starting out by selling in small Colorado mountain town farmers markets, Cappello's can now be found in grocers and restaurants from coast to coast.
For many of their loyal customers, Cappello's has made the difference from a life without favorite foods to a life full of new food experiences. One customer, Laura Waldo, struggled with finding grain-free foods for her son who suffered from severe grain intolerance.
"It's just a really clean, fantastic product," explains Laura. "Not only do I use it, but as a nutritional therapist, I recommend it to my clients. My son was diagnosed with severe gluten sensitivity, and it took a lot of time and energy to figure out what was going on—when we realized that all grains were problematic, we went entirely grain-free. Cappello's is an integral part of eating a whole-food, nutrient-dense diet in our home, and it gives us a tremendous sense of normalcy. I cannot tell you how wonderful that is."
Cappello's products are still made by hand by a team of employees that Stacey describes as the "backbone of the company—a loyal team of people that really care about the company, its ethos, and the energetic exchange they have with the product." Only the finest quality ingredients are sourced for Cappello's production: the pastas are made primarily with cage-free eggs and almond flour, and the chocolate chip cookie dough is made with ingredients like high-quality coconut oil, dark chocolate, and grade b maple syrup. All ingredients are non-GMO.
The same idea is reflected in the design of the Cappello's packaging. The bold, clean black and white pattern integrates classic, old-world aesthetics paired with a modern sensibility that reflects the brand's non-traditional tenets.
Since launching only a few years ago, the Cappello's brand has already made a presence in over 165 grocery stores and restaurants, like award-winning Frasca Food & Wine and Brasserie Ten Ten in Boulder, and found throughout Colorado and beyond. This year, the team plans to roll out more products and expand into even more retailers.
"Cappello's stands out as a delicious, high-end brand for anyone who loves great food," says Stacey. "The fact that our products are catered towards the gluten-free world, celiac community, and those with allergies or dietary restrictions makes us part of the paradigm shift happening in the food world, and makes it an incredibly rewarding job, too."

a guide for the lost and found
bárbara abbês
The prompt for this project was to use the everyday as our problem, to focus on something lost, and in doing so, on something now found. I decided to focus on book inscriptions, not only they represent a connection that doesn't exist anymore, but also, with e-books these little connections and serendipitous finds will become more rare and unusual.

Recently in Trevor Ziegler Category
As the seventh day of our training trip draws to a close, we find ourselves rapidly approaching our return to Amherst. With the second cycle of of our three-cycle training program complete, the team has maintained the same consistency in our workout intensity. This morning, during our only practice of the day, we completed a long warm-up and played a game much like the the Three Kings Game. This particular game also revolved entirely upon chance so naturally we didn't allow Brian Schmidt within a 10 foot radius of the various factors that decided what our set would be. In addition to rolling dice to determine how much we swam, we also had to pick a number from a stopwatch and select a card from a deck of cards. Despite it being the end of another intense cycle, we once again grinded it out in anticipation of our afternoon off.
After practice the entire team packed up and drove out to the picturesque Luqillo Beach. I think it's safe to say that this place makes me never want to go back to Cape Cod or any beach for that matter ever again (even you, Jersey Shore). We have no sympathy for Tom Hanks in Castaway because yes, he was stuck on a similar type of island by himself but he atleast had a volleyball to play with. We were stuck throwing a coconut around like a football for a half hour. Actually, we threw it around for about 2 hours and it was probably the most fun we had all day. But I digress, besides playing catch we participated in normal, mature activity; throwing sand at eachother, a no-holds-barred battle royal in the water (complete with drop-kicks and powerbombs galore), and of course, splashing the girls team and running away giddily. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are the future leaders of America. Embrace it.
After the obligatory taking (and inevitable ruining) of pictures we finally headed back to San Juan where most of us had a quick dinner and got back just in time to watch the NFL playoff games. Spending all that time in the sun today naturally takes a lot out of us so it looks like another quiet night of recovery to prepare for the next and final training cycle before we head back to Amherst.
That is all.
Random Observations:
-"We ice bro's, not shoulders." -Eric Zeimetz
-There is never an inappropriate time for Men at Work
-Seahawks? Really?
-It's much harder for swimmers to enjoy themselves at the beach than normal people (a lot of awkward and confused standing around is usually involved).
By Trevor Ziegler
Hola muchachos y muchachas. This is the B of the B&O blogging from sunny (ish) San Juan. Thursday night was unusually quiet around the team hotel. From what I saw, the majority of the team made good use of the hotel's hot tubs, beds, and tv's in order to rest up for Thursday morning practice. After finishing this morning's practice, I'm sure none of us regret being lazy for one night. Today looks like the first actual beach day of the trip and we plan on taking full advantage of it (after a quick nap, of course). Two more practices left until our next single-practice day and the team is making plans to visit one of the nicer beaches around the island.
As the trip progresses it seems as though the sanity level of our team is rapidly decreasing. Though it may cause concern to outsiders, this is a normal trend around this time of year. It's the most identifiable on the pool deck where we could easily be mistaken for a team of four year olds jacked up on endless cans of Mountain Dew. I, for one, have come to terms with my temporary immaturity and have recently learned to embrace my gift (curse?).
Throughout the trip, Russ has been giving cryptic hints and ambiguous answers when we ask him about what the next practice will be and today was no different. Therefore, I am off to take a nap in order to maintain at least some level of sanity before tonight's inevitable grind.
Random Observations:
-The George Foreman Grill is the greatest thing to happen to the Earth since oxygen.
-Bagged cereal tastes better.
-The maximum number of laptops in one room during a training trip should be 1 (not four, freshmen).
-All reggaeton sounds exactly the same (seriously).
Live long and prosper, UMass Aquatics.

This can under heavytraffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upperhalf of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, wemight as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardwarecounters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek <firstname.lastname@example.com>Cc: firstname.lastname@example.com: David S.

The world is increasingly public. By that I mean that our privacy is consistently challenged. Not just by society as a whole, but by ourselves. This current generation of law students is being raised in an unprecedentedly open society. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and a myriad of other social media outlets have given young people unchecked opportunities to expose themselves however they want. Now, more than ever, it is important for prospective lawyers and legal professionals to remember that even the most innocuous post on, say, Facebook is a direct public representation of themselves. Those keeping track of this representation are not only friends, family and acquaintances; they are also potential employees and clients. This has become true in the job sector as a whole, but with an occupation as communal as the law it is crucial to keep a respectable public profile.
Colleges across the country have gone beyond the SAT scores, personal essays and high school GPA's to judge whether students have what they are looking for. The accessibility of social media has proved too enticing for admissions departments to pass up. It offers another, much more intimate side to the applicator and therefore a fuller picture previously made to those choosing their student body. Even if—as deans of admission have stated—colleges are using Facebook more as an introduction rather than an investigation, anyone that has ever used Facebook knows that there isn't very much difference between the two.
The situation begs a few questions:
1. Are colleges and universities right in doing this?
• Very few higher learning institutions have any type of formal admissions policy when it comes to using social media to judge the merits of potential students. This leaves a huge gray area in which the admissions people can, essentially, roam around at their whim.
• Many students feel that a distinct separation between their online profile and their academic profile should be made. Although a social media profile is understood to be a very casual representation of you, it is nonetheless a representation of yourself. If there is something in your profile that you preferred not to be shared with the world, it simply shouldn't be on there.
• Since said information is voluntarily entered into the public domain (e.g. a status update) there is very little argument against a school or possible employee utilizing that information to learn more about a student, whatever qualms some may have.
2. What should a law student's approach be?
• In a survey, over thirty percent of law school admissions professionals said that in researching students over the Internet they have come across something that has negatively affected their chances for admission.
• Students aspiring to be lawyers, in polls conducted by Kaplan, have unanimously stated themselves that, as law students, they should be held to higher standards than many other professions. The world is not a black-and-white slate. Some occupations merit loftier expectations than others, just like these polled students realize. Respect for the legal field should come, foremost, from those in it.
• Be smart. Simple words which should be repeated over and over again in the mind of a law student. Knowing that law schools will potentially Google you, exercise caution when posting aspects of your life on the Internet. Is it okay to post a photograph of you and your significant other in front of the Louvre? Yes. Is it appropriate to post a photograph of you and your friends doing keg stands? Probably not. Let's put it this way: before posting a revealing picture ask yourself, "Would I accept this person into my law school?"
3. How would all this apply to life after law school?
• Just as law school will prepare you for the "X's and O's," so to speak, of the profession, it also should be looked at as a dress rehearsal for the real legal world. After all, you're not learning how to be a law student; you're learning how to be a lawyer.
• There is little doubt that someone who is interested in hiring you as their legal representation won't Google you first. This is the way of the world now and it is no different when it comes to lawyers. In fact, it is probably even more so the case. Reputation and legitimacy are a working lawyer's bread and butter. With the wealth of legal choices always out there for clients, it would take very little to persuade someone to look at other options. Don't let an irresponsible photograph or Tweet is the dissuading factor.
Whatever your personal feelings are towards the investigative actions of law school admissions, just know that it is fruitless not to adhere to this methodology. Right or wrong, fair or unfair, law schools have the right to do this. Is an overly revealing personal tidbit or sharing an unsavory party photograph really worth risking your future in the legal world?

The Winnipeg Free Press reported Friday that Winnipeg Jets defenseman Zach Redmond will miss the remainder of the season recovering from a skate cut to his right leg sustained during practice Thursday.
Redmond was stepped on a by a teammate, with the player's skate blade cutting into the femoral artery and vein.
"We were trying to get our extra players conditioned, and there was a 1-on-1 battle at the net where he tripped up and landed on his back," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "[Another] player happened to step on him and cut him just above the back of the knee."
The Jets later said in a statement that Redmond was resting comfortably in recovery and is expected to be out indefinitely.
Many of the Winnipeg players were off the ice when the incident occurred. The Jets' medical and training staff rushed from the dressing room to the ice and immediately tended to Redmond. Upon being taken away in the ambulance, a large pool of blood was visible above the top of the crease.
"He lost a fair amount of blood and I think he's in some pain," Noel said. "We got it tied up and got some pressure on it."
Throughout the ordeal, several players remained on the ice with Redmond. As the players came off the ice, it was clear that they were affected by the injury. James Wright left the ice with a deep sigh, saying, "Just a freak accident."
Noel said Redmond remained conscious and coherent throughout. The Jets coach acknowledged that the injury left his team a little on edge ahead of its scheduled game Thursday night against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"They will be rattled. It's a teammate. There's not much you can say," he said. "It kind of throws a wrench in your pregame, but we will get ready to go by the time we get back here at 5 o'clock."

What happens to the stocks of a bankrupt company if the company is bought by some other company?
For example, I want to buy stock in ACME Company. ACME is now bankrupt and is in the process of selling its operations around the globe. What will happen to the value of my stock if I buy ACME Company?
You should only consider buying a bankrupt company like ACME if another company is buying ACME as a whole. For example, IBM offered to buy Sun Microsystem for $9.40 per share. Had the offer been accepted, all shareholders would have turned in their Sun Micro shares for that amount.
Whether your stock in ACME Company will be worthless or go up will depend on how well ACME Company can reorganize and run their business after emerging from bankruptcy.
Also, keep in mind that most of the time, the current shares in a company will go to $0 and be cancelled. If the company reorganizes it usually will issue new shares. It is usually a bad idea to waste money on the current shares.

Last week, the contractors began installing the patient headwall units in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) private rooms and patient pod. In these areas, the patient headwalls are actually cabinets, specially made for ACH, that house all of the medical gases, electrical and data outlets, and other items necessary for the patient's care. The headwalls in the NICU are manufactured by AMICO, and they are almost identical to the headwalls we have in our existing NICU-East area. Installing 25 of those takes a bit of time, as each one is connected near the ceiling to medical gas piping, data and telephone cabling, and electrical services. When you see one being installed, it looks somewhat like an alien spaceship coming in for a landing - so many cables and wires! It will take about 4 weeks to get everything connected in these headwalls, but once everything is installed, the NICU patient rooms will look much more finished-out than they have previously. The headwalls were the final real piece of equipment for these special rooms for the teeny-tiny neonates that we care for here at ACH.
Also last week, the contractors installed one of the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) boom headwalls, made by Hill-Rom. These booms hang down from a black metal plate that is mounted on a heavy-duty steel ceiling structure known as Unistrut. This Unistrut system is engineered to hold the weight of the booms, plus the pressures and such placed on the booms from movement in the rooms. We joke that the Unistruts in the CVICU could hold up the whole South Wing, as stout as they are built! These booms are just like the NICU headwalls, in that they hold all of the patient care items - gases, electrical and data wiring, and the patient monitors. They will even hold the Care Hub system for the patients!
In general, the first floor Emergency Department (ED) and Hematology Oncology Clinic areas of the South Wing are really starting to look complete. Most of the flooring and cabinets have been installed, the nurse call system is installed, and the ceiling tiles are being placed in the ceiling grid. There are card readers on the walls, and the murals are installed in the Hem-Onc Clinic.
Two really cool features of the first floor are coming together nicely - the Bridge to Wellness and the Healing Garden. The Bridge to Wellness, located in the ED, is the main hallway down which most ED patients will travel. We located it there because when patients come into the ED they are sick or injured. Crossing over that bridge will also transition them to wellness! The bridge has an actual wooden bridge structure placed on the walls, the flooring is a wood plank vinyl (although we've been told it looks like real wood!), and our interior designer, Kathryn Jones, will paint a mural on the walls to make one feel as if she is actually walking outdoors on a real bridge. It's one of my favorite features in the whole building.
The Healing Garden is another of my favorite spots. It is located adjacent to the Hem Onc Clinic, and it is only accessible for the patients and families of that clinic. The garden was built to give those potentially immunocompromised patients a place to get outdoors, without being exposed to others who might have an infectious illness. As you can imagine, even a cold or the flu could be very detrimental to a patient with a compromised immune system, such as someone going through chemotherapy. The garden is a nice, warm, and inviting spot, and it will be filled with play equipment, wonderful landscaping, and an entwined fish water feature. The contractors have installed the stamped, stained concrete flooring material, which really helps with the outdoor garden feel. I can hardly wait until they plant the flowers and trees, as it will complete the area nicely!
Hope you all have a wonderful week. We will write this blog weekly, to keep you updated. If you a question, please email me at email@example.com

Associated Press Writer
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Some Wisconsin brewers held their own version of the Boston Tea Party on Tuesday, spewing beer suds into the Milwaukee River to protest legislation they say hampers start-up breweries.
Their sticky statement is a protest to a proposed update to post-Prohibition laws related to the blooming business of craft beermaking.
The bill would divide small brewers into two licensed classes — those who want to serve food as brewpubs, and those who seek to bottle and distribute their product on a larger scale. The latter would face new restrictions on food service.
The brewers, who acknowledge they're not savvy about the legislative process, say it's not fair for new beermakers to have to decide their fate that early.
"Every business takes on a life of its own," said Jim McCabe, proprietor of the Milwaukee Ale House. "For the guy that wants to start a brewery tomorrow, he's got to make decisions early in his business life that aren't possible."
After countdowns in English and German, the kegs were opened with mallets that sent a fountain of foam across the deck and into the Milwaukee River.
One tourist boat full of onlookers yelled "Beer!" with a woman opening her mouth in a vain attempt to reach the beer stream more than 20 yards away.
The issue started when the Great Dane Pub opened a third location in the Madison area but couldn't sell its own brews because the law allows only two such operations per chain. That problem is supposed to be fixed in the new legislation, but beermakers say the update would present a new set of problems.
Eliot Butler, owner of the Great Dane, did not return messages seeking comment Tuesday.
"It could have been solved with a couple of sentences, a paragraph at the most," McCabe said. "What happened is the bill grew to 28 pages to do a whole bunch more."
The brewers want to scrap the bill and sit down with wholesalers and lawmakers to craft a new law for the industry.
The bill's sponsor, Sen. Fred Risser, D-Madison, was out of the office Tuesday, but spokesman Terry Tuschen said amendments are being written to ease the brewers' concerns.
"Everybody's working hard to fix what needs to be fixed," Tuschen said.

Ack! As you know, it has been an incredibly busy semester for me, but I still try to find time to tell you a bit of what is going on. Not long ago I got an email from the TED people asking me if I'd like to talk at one of their events. This event is for young people, called TEDYouth. It'll be on November 17th. Well, this is such a good cause – how can I not do this?
You can see the announcement of the "incredible lineup" of speakers on TED's site here. (I linked the photomontage they used there.) I'm looking forward to being in the audience to hear some of these guys talk!
So of course, I now find myself a week behind where I should be in terms of preparation, and in the middle of a whole bunch of other deadines…
…But today's plan is to do nothing else (er, besides blogging this and figuring out hotels and tickets) but figure out what I am going to say in the short (but hopefully densely but accessibly packed) time I have to say what I'm going to say. They'd like some string theory in there, of course, but since I'm the only one talking about things relevant to high energy physics, to my mind I must find a way of mentioning the recent hugely important Higgs (like) discovery at the Large Hadron Collider.
This is going to be a tricky but fun challenge…

Pools & Spas Case Study: Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa
- Published on Wednesday, 08 June 2011 12:34
Article Read: 6023
Few resorts in the world can offer guests the opportunity to swim amongst tropical fish, snorkel through an amazingly real looking artificial reef and explore the wonders of the sea in complete safety.
Yet, the five star Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort and Spa on the Gold Coast offers all this in their $8 million water playground.
Spread over a hectare, this incredible aquatic playground consists of a 5m deep saltwater lagoon, swimming pool, lava waterslide, waterfalls, rock grottos and spas.
The lagoon pool holds an incredible 1.6 million litres of salt water – sourced from the nearby Nerang River – which is continuously filtered by pumps located adjacent to the lagoon.
Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa's director of engineering, Stephen Coombs – who has been at the property for more that eight years – said the lagoon pool water is re-circulated 24 hours a day by a large commercial filtration system.
"The lagoon has two filter pumps of 75 kilowatts each capable of filtering the 1.7 million litres of water every 90 minutes. The swimming pool is 660,000l and is turned over (filtered) once every four hours. This turn over rate is less than the lagoon only because the swimming pool is fresh water and has chemicals introduced allowing us to reduce the filtration rate. Because the lagoon is a natural environment for the fish it cannot have any chemicals added to the water and therefore, has to have a higher filtration rate to clean the water sufficiently."
Instead of chemically disinfecting the lagoon water, Stephen uses a mechanical disinfectant process using ozone, which is produced on-site.
"The ozone has a very short activation period, which allows us to use it in conjunction with the filtration to clean the lagoon water without harming the fish. Ozone acts as an oxidising agent in a similar way to chlorine attacking any organic matter in the water and effectively destroying it. It is highly effective and with the short activation it is able to be totally eliminated from the water long before it returns to the lagoon. It is also very cost effective when compared to other methods when used in this type of application. Ozone is also used as a baseline disinfectant in the swimming pool with chlorine added to maintain the required residual levels required under the legislation.
"To maintain the correct pH in the swimming pool carbon dioxide is injected into the water where it converts to carbonic acid, this is a much safer method of control than using hydrochloric acid. The other benefit is the water clarity and quality is significantly improved, the water feels softer and has a definite sparkle to it.
"We are constantly refurbishing or upgrading the equipment to maintain the highest quality water in all of our water features. In the last two years we have added a protein skimmer to the lagoon to assist in removing the compounds responsible for foaming, replaced the ozone generator and added a high efficiency air dryer, the dryer the air entering the ozone generator the more ozone produced, upgraded all of the water chemistry monitoring equipment, overhauled the two lagoon filter pumps and installed a bore water treatment plant to supply treated harvested water to our water features. Monitoring and maintenance is a constant process we do to ensure that our guest have a safe, secure and enjoyable experience whilst swimming in the pools."
With the lagoon, the fish, pool, spas, waterslide and multiple water features, Stephen oversees the department with the valuable assistance of two full-time water technicians. The technicians are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the water playground.
"There is a tremendous amount of work involved with maintaining this aquatic playground. The water techs are responsible for pretty much everything from cleaning, water testing to feeding the fish. Feeding time is at 9.30 every morning and hotel guests are invited to participate. Depending on how long the fish have been here, some will come and take the food right out of your hand."
There are more than 400 tropical fish residing in the lagoon, including species such as the Moon Wrasse, Blue and Domino Damsel, Surgeon and Trigger fish and Sargent Major.
Stephen said the fish are sourced locally and from Cairns.
"Locally we get the schooling type fish and then some of the more spectacular species we get from a registered collector out of Cairns. We top the fish up every so often because it is similar to a natural environment, some of the fish will be predatory."

Shenzhou-5 - Quick Facts
Shenzhou 5
Shenzhou 5 in assembly, photo released August 2003. Notice the workers wearing surgical masks, indicating that the photo was perhaps taken during the SARS outbreak.
Trivia and quick facts about the Shenzhou manned spacecraft
The Shenzhou spacecraft appears similar to the Russian Soyuz, but is different in dimensions (slightly larger and heavier) and does not seem to use any detailed parts copied from the Soyuz or built under license. Therefore although it follows the classic layout of the Soyuz, adopts many of the same technical solutions, and the re-entry vehicle has the same shape, it cannot be considered strictly a 'copy'. And if one considers Shenzhou to be a copy of the Soyuz, then
was the Soyuz design stolen
- from the American General Electric Apollo spacecraft proposal?
Yang Liwei was not the first person born in China to fly in space. William
, born in Hong Kong, orbited the moon in December 1968. Shannon
, born in Shanghai, holds the world record for a woman for time in space (over 223 days in space on 5 spaceflights). And physicist Taylor
, also born in Shanghai, spent seven days in space aboard shuttle mission STS-51-B in 1985.
What should the Chinese astronauts be called in English? During the Cold War, the press adopted the Russian word 'cosmonaut' to refer to Soviet astronauts. This became muddled after 1990, when 'space navigators' from many nations served aboard Mir and the International Space Station. Chen Lan, who pioneered coverage of the Chinese space program on the web, coined the artificial word 'taikonaut', from the Chinese word for outer space. The Chinese term, used in official statements and the national press, is 'yuhangyuan', which unfortunately is pretty difficult for Westerners to spell, remember, or pronounce. An appeal not to repeat the mistakes of the past - why not just call them Chinese astronauts?
Unlike the American shuttle Shenzhou is equipped with a launch escape tower, which can pull the crew capsule away from the booster in case of a failure or explosion during the first 160 seconds of flight. Such an escape system has saved Russian Soyuz crews on one occasion over the years (Soyuz T-10-1). But there are many other dangers for an astronaut in a Soyuz-type spacecraft. There can be a launch booster failure after the escape tower has separated (Soyuz 18-1). During the landing sequence, there can be failure of the retrorockets (Soyuz 33), depressurisation of the capsule (Soyuz 11), failure of the service module to jettison (Soyuz 5), failure of the guidance system (Soyuz TMA-1), failure of the parachute system (Soyuz 1), or landing in remote or rough terrain (Soyuz 23, Soyuz 18-1).
Shenzhou has a total weight of 7800 kg (17,000 lbs), is 8.55 m (28 ft) long and has a maximum diameter of 2.8 m (9.2 ft). It is powered with four solar panels that generate a total of 1500 watts of power. It consists of three modules that separate during flight. These are:
The orbital module, mounted in the nose, provides living space for the astronauts and contains scientific or military equipment that can be different from flight or flight. It separates before retrofire and remains in orbit after the crew has returned to earth, continuing its scientific or military observation mission. In the future it may be left behind, docked to a Chinese space station.
The re-entry capsule, mounted in the centre. This is the same 'headlight' shape as the Russian Soyuz capsule, and brings three (perhaps up to four) astronauts back to earth. After the retrofire is completed, it separates from the service module. After re-entry, a single main parachute is deployed. Just before landing, the heat shield is jettisoned and small rockets fire for a soft landing in the central Asian desert.
The service module, mounted in the centre, contains the main spacecraft electronics and environmental systems, and the liquid propellant rocket system that allows the spacecraft to manoeuvre in orbit and return to earth. It has four main engines at the base, much more powerful than those on Soyuz. It separates from the re-entry capsule after retrofire and is burned up in the atmosphere.
The CZ-2F booster is descended from the first Chinese ICBM, the DF-4. This was designed under the leadership of brilliant American-educated
Hsue-shen, the Father of the Chinese space and rocket programmes. The controversy rages even fifty years later -- was
driven to Mao's China by McCarthyite paranoia, or was he a Communist agent all along? Did the
incorporate technology Tsien learned of in the earliest design phase of the American Titan rocket?

In the warmer months it seems the weekend starts just a little bit earlier than it does the rest of the year. Thursday night replaces Friday as the ultimate date night as couples sip drinks on a patio or stroll through the village looking for just the right restaurant. Flirty sundresses and gladiator-inspired sandals become wardrobe staples and matching your makeup to the feminine look is paramount.
Enter Shawn Towne, jane iredale Global Educator, who has created the ideal summer date look to get you through the rest of the summer in style.
- Start with a primer to refine the skin increase longevity and give a healthy glow. Apply it with your fingers or use a brush. Next apply jane iredale Amazing Base in a color of your choice. Try dusting it on with our new refillable brush. It applies the perfect amount of product every time and it's portable for touch ups. Apply a concealer under the eyes, along the tops of the cheekbones and to the center of the chin to give an illuminated look to the complexion.
- On the cheeks, apply a stain with your fingers, starting in the apples and blending outward. To give a rich, bronzy glow to your skin, apply a bronzer to the outer perimeters of the face, dusting under the cheekbones, into the temples and along the jawline.
- Before applying any eye shadow, prime the eyes with jane iredale Brown Silk Eye Gloss from the lashes to the brow bone to give warmth and depth. Blend until the product feels dry on your lids. Now apply Supernova PurePressed Eye Shadow over the entire lid and into the crease. Then, darken the outer corner of your eyes with Dark Suede PurePressed Eye Shadow blending in an upward and outward direction. You can also apply under eye along the lower lash line using a smudge brush. Lastly, line the upper lash line with brown liner.
- Enhance the brows with a brow gel or pencil in a color of your choice and finish off the eyes by curling the lashes and applying a lengthening or thickening mascara.
- Complete the look with the perfect pout with a glossy lip that is begging for a goodnight kiss.
But remember - while we've given you the goods to look flawless, securing the second date is entirely up to you.

4 Critical Observations as Stock Market Churns Higher
David Fabian
Whether markets end up higher or lower is anyone's guess, but here are some things worth noting right now.
It has been a phenomenal year for stocks, and the market continues to churn higher nearly every day. It seems as though the market has a propensity to overcome nearly every crisis that the media can throw at it while reliably grasping at new highs on a regular basis. As a money manager, I am enthusiastic about the outperformance of US stocks and relishing the consistent steady returns. However, as a risk manager I am careful to not get overly exuberant and remember that the rug may be swiftly pulled out from under us when we least expect it.
The recent report that the
Vanguard Total Stock Market Fund
(MUTF:VTSMX) has surpassed the
PIMCO Total Return Fund
(MUTF:PTTRX) as the largest mutual fund in the world is a testament to the increasing appetite for risk among retail investors. Bonds are now looked at as an increasingly dangerous asset in the face of a growing anxiety that the Federal Reserve will soon begin tapering its asset-purchasing agenda. The threat of rising interest rates has capped gains in bond funds this year and sent investors fleeing to the relative "safety" of equities.
Just as bond funds became overly loved in the first half of this year and interest rates fell to unprecedented lows, I fear that the same scenario will eventually unfold for US stocks. There is some level of credibility for the "Great Rotation" out of bonds and into stocks as the Fed eases itself away from the table. However, if you think that money coming out of bonds is going to create a consistent bid in stocks for the foreseeable future, then you might be in for a rough ride.
We are eventually going to hit a bumpy patch that will see US stocks reverse their trend higher and send investors fleeing for the safety of cash or fixed-income securities. This is simply a function of the regular ebb and flow of the market that has created wealth for generations. The key to prospering is preserving your wealth when the tides change.
Right now we are seeing small rotations in index leadership which may be a sign of institutional investors starting to jockey for position before the end of the year. What I think we will see through the remaining two months of 2013 is a push/pull between the latecomers who are chasing performance and the early adopters who are looking to lock in gains on their positions. Every portfolio manager dreams of years when they can lock in 20%+ returns.
Whether we end up higher or lower from here is anyone's guess, but the following are some observations that are worth noting:
iShares Russell 2000 ETF
(NYSEARCA:IWM) has been the clear leader all year but faltered last week as the rest of the market remained relatively strong. This will give some life to the bears as momentum shifts of this nature can often be a warning sign of risk aversion.
(NYSEARCA:SPY) and
PowerShares QQQ
(NASDAQ:QQQ) have continued to push to new highs and remain in healthy uptrends. These power indices continue to churn out positive gains on an almost daily basis to push their total return to 26% and 28% respectively this year. My advice is to trail your stop losses higher so that you can lock in gains if we get an unexpected reversal.
Commodities have been horrendous this year and continue their long-term descent. The broad-based
PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund
(NYSEARCA:DBC) is near its 2013 lows and does not appear to be showing signs of a turnaround just yet. I am avoiding this space until we see a return of demand for soft commodities and precious metals. I would rather wait for a new trend to develop than try to catch a falling knife.
Bonds have risen from the dead and appear to be catching a bid. The consensus seems to be that the Fed's taper decision has been put off until 2014 which has opened the door for asset flows back into fixed income. High yield has been strong all year and we are now seeing a rebound in core intermediate-term holdings such as the
PIMCO Total Return Fund
(NYSEARCA:BOND) and the
iShares MBS ETF
(NYSEARCA:MBB). This could be a sign that investors are looking to hedge their highly appreciated stock positions or taking advantage of higher yields on these ETFs.
My advice on trading the remainder of the year is to continue to ride the trend while it lasts with the commitment of trailing stop losses to lock in gains. I am not actively adding new equity holdings to my portfolio at this level, but I am continuing to note changes in sector leadership and adjust my watch list accordingly for the next buying opportunity. I will be using any weakness to add to core holdings and rotate into areas of the market that I feel have the best potential for growth in 2014.
I am using that same strategy with respect to income-producing assets as well. High yield is rich right now, but there are still other areas of the market that are offering value in actively managed closed-end funds, preferred stocks, and even select real estate funds.
No matter how you trade the final months of the year, be careful of becoming entrenched in a single bias toward one asset class. Broaden your horizons and look for value and opportunity wherever it may be.
