Lake City tabbed in IEL 5A
It's not a surprise that the Lake City Timberwolves have been picked to win the 5A Inland Empire League.
As far as Lake City coach Jim Winger is concerned, though, his team has much to prove before it can lay claim to anything yet. LC returns three starters.
"We have good height and some experience back but we're still pretty young," Winger said. "We should be good again on defense and the offense should come along."
Post Falls coach Mike McLean expects LC to earn a state berth and be a factor come postseason.
"Lake City is loaded with everything you need to be state champions – size, experience and depth," McLean said. "They should be playing Saturday night in the state championship game."
Coeur d'Alene coach Kent Leiss agreed.
"I would be surprised if they're not playing for the state title," Leiss said. "This should be their year."
• In 4A, Moscow coach Don Dudley returns for a third time as head coach. His team is a slight favorite over Lakeland.
• In the Intermountain League, Timberlake has been tabbed as the clear-cut favorite to win the league title.
• In the North Star League, Wallace is picked to capture the league title.
Returning all-league players
In 5A, junior Kyle Guice of Lake City is the lone returner and no returners are back in 4A. In the Intermountain League, Garret Wendt of Kellogg, Dalton Sommer of Priest River and Trevor Masterson of Timberlake return.
Around the region
5A IEL: Winger made it his top off season priority for his team to become tougher minded. "I think we have improved on the toughness meter," he said. "If we play hard and somewhat angry we will be pretty tough." LC takes on a difficult schedule put together by the athletic director – Winger. "It's probably the hardest schedule we have ever had here," Winger said. "Which is exactly what we need." … The league, overall, will be young. Post Falls returns no starters and the same is true with CdA. Post Falls will find out quickly what life will be like without four-year starting point guard Marcus Colbert, who is at Montana State. "We will have some growing to do as a team and we'll have to refine our roles," McLean said. "By mid January, we should be playing with a real edge. We have depth. We'll play 10 guys and the intensity will be very high." … CdA will have just one senior on its roster and two returning lettermen. "These kids are basketball players," Leiss said. "Most of them played on our 16-4 junior varsity team last year. They've also been successful at the AAU level. They look to play hard. Eventually this group will be very good." CdA's early schedule features 10 games in 22 days. "That will be very challenging," Leiss said. "By mid to late January we will be pretty good. We want to get to state and win a trophy." … With six seniors and three juniors, Lewiston is poised to climb out of the league's basement.
4A IEL: No proven standout players return. By season's end, though, a handful could emerge. … Sandpoint brings back no starters and just three lettermen. Despite the youth, coach Tyler Haynes is optimistic. "Although we are young, our players have been very dedicated and they're experienced athletes," Haynes said.
IML: Timberlake returns three starters and six other lettermen. "We have a lot of depth and senior leadership," coach Tony Hanna said. "These kids have a strong will to win and competitive natures. They are smart – which allows us to run multiple offenses and defenses." Although Timberlake hasn't been competitive in the IML, Hanna expects those fortunes to change. "We like our chances," Hanna said. … Wendt is Kellogg's lone returning starter. He was a second-team All-Idaho pick last year. "We expect to play well as a team," Kellogg coach Jeff Lambert said "We have very unselfish players. We expect to be playing well in the late stages of the year." … Priest River returns two starters and four other lettermen. "We're a year older and have more experience," Spartans coach Ryan Bodecker said. "We are deep and fast on the perimeter. We should be able to use our athleticism to speed up the game to our advantage."
NSL: Wallace returns just one starter, but it's a good one in junior point guard Brock Arthun. "We have a strong work ethic and we're fairly big inside," Wallace coach Bruce Bailey said. "It will be a positive year with this group." … Lakeside must replace five starters. The Knights also welcome a new coach, Brad Calkins. He previously was a head coach at three other schools in Idaho – Potlatch, Soda Springs and Parma. "Our success will be dependent upon how well the team responds to quicker tempo offensive scheme and varying defensive alignments," Calkins said. "Our surprising depth should provide us with assets in what we lack in experience and size."

Great clip. The atmosphere and story really get into you.
nice can't wait for part 2
Excellent animation, and I must say, very reminiscent to Avatar The Last Airbender..I could definitely see where the inspiration came from. Also, I would like to add that it has a very original storyline. Always a plus.
Wow Dana, you've gotten REALLY good.
The first one was appropriately moody and atmospheric with some decent animation. This one is also atmospheric, but with even BETTER animation. The lines are a lot smoother and I love the character designs and shading. The actual animation is also very nicely one.
This really has me interested and I can't wait to see the next part. Keep it up! You're only gonna get better so I look forward to seeing the next one.

Then Sings My Soul, Special Edition,
This review is from: Then Sings My Soul Special Edition (Paperback)
Through Book Sneeze, Thomas Nelson gave me a copy of the Special Edition of Then Sings My Soul by Robert Morgan to review. This book looks at 150 hymns, providing a hymn (or piece of a hymn) on one page followed by a second page providing the date, a short piece of scripture, then a short story related to the hymn. I love hymns and expected to enjoy reading about them, but this book drove me crazy.
Without any additional writing to explain the choices Morgan made, the author's choices were confusing. This special edition was broken into the sections. Within each section, the hymns were mostly in chronological order, but the order was not entirely chronological, with some hymns out of order and the Easter section contained two distinct chronological sequences. The selection of which hymns went into each section also confused me; "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" was considered a Christmas song while "His Name Is Wonderful" was placed within "Easter" despite the story ending with "Though it was inspired on Christmas day by a traditional Christmas text, `His Name is Wonderful' has never been pegged as a Christmas hymn. It's been a favorite of Christians around the world throughout the year" (page 85).
Some songs just didn't work well in this format. "O Holy Night" and "Hallelujah Chorus" come to mind because only small pieces could be printed on the page.
I did enjoy the selection of songs. While I don't like all the songs selected, many of my favorites were included. The added stories were frequently pleasant. I particularly enjoyed Morgan's extensive quotation of Gloria Gaither for "Because He Lives" (page 107).
A few of the stories contained commentary that made me cringe, such as the complaint "Unfortunately, few hymns are devoted exclusively to thanking God" (page 109) while discussing "Now Thank We All Our God" and Morgan claiming Hitler's attempts to "take over the German church and dictate the nation's religion" are being repeated in the United States "as social libertarians, aided by the media and the courts, seem determined to drain Christmas of its religious significance and make it a purely secular, pagan holiday" as justification for his own hymn "Jesus Christ is Born Today" (page 61).
The writing for the stories about the hymns was generally passable, but occasionally included awkward wording such as "despite the paucity of his own education" (page 119).
Aesthetically, I think the book works fairly well, except for the attempt at a torn texture for the edges. This artistic flair made pages stick together a bit, but I was more annoyed that the implementation was so poor. Nearly every three pages, the paper was cut straight, but it wasn't quite every three pages (or I might assume it was done intentionally to help with the sticking). At one point, there were eight clean-cut pages in a row. The different lengths of the pages combined to create a zig-zag if you look down the end, as if someone had attempted to trim the book with a giant pair of dull pinking shears.
I was bothered by the lack of citations. I understand that most of the stories would count as "general knowledge" and not require citations, but at times I wanted citations either because Morgan quoted someone without specifying the work being quoted or because what Morgan said conflicted with what I had previously heard.
I would definitely not recommend reading this book through in one sitting, but it could be enjoyable to flip through on occasion if the little details that drive me crazy wouldn't bother you.

The only reason you don't want Benghazi "over" is because you use it to dishonestly and traitorously attack our President. It was a terrorist attack, but you give the terrorists a pass and attack Mr. Obama instead, though he had NOTHING to do with it.

from the CP,
We're still working and have been on the phone this morning and will continue to work," Regier said Wednesday, a day after signing Patrick Lalime to a two-year, US$2-million contract to back up starter Ryan Miller. "We're still exploring, really looking for a defenceman, so I remain hopeful."
What encourages Regier is that rather than reaching out to players' agents, as he did Tuesday when the NHL's free agency period opened, agents are now calling him.
"That for me is positive news," Regier said. "It tells me that players are looking at it and saying, 'Hey, Buffalo would be a nice place to play.' It tells me that it's a possibility."

• 1893 – first case of pseudomembranous colitis reported as diphtheritic colitis. • 1935 – "Bacillus difficle" isolated. • 1970s – antibiotic-asociated colitis identified. • 1978 – C. difficle toxins identified in humans. • 1979 – therapy with Vancomycin or metronidazole • 2000 – increased incidence and virulence
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 4
Recent Developments
• C difficle first described 1935 gram-positive anaerobic bacillus • "difficult clostridium"-difficult to grow in culture • Found in stool specimens from healthy neonates leading to misclassification as a commensal organism • 1970s: "clindamycin colitis" pseudomembranous colitis in hospitalized patients • 1978: C diffficle recognized as causative organism

• Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic bacillus. • Most common cause of nosocomial diarrhea. • Rate and severity of C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) increasing. • New strain of C.difficile with increased resistance and virulence identified.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 6
• Clostridium difficile, often called C. difficile or "C. diff," is a bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to lifethreatening inflammation of the colon. Illness from C. difficile most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long term care facilities and typically occurs after use of antibiotic medication
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 7
• Present in environment. • Hospital is major reservoir. Spores can be recovered from surfaces for months. • Spread primarily on hands of HCW. • Fecal-oral transmission. • Transmission may occur from asymptomatic colonized persons.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 8
• Colonizes the colon of up to 3% of healthy adults. • 15 – 25% of debilitated and antibiotic-treated hospitalized adults colonized. • Toxigenic strains may cause disease in colonized patients. • Implicated in approx. 25% of cases of antibiotic- associated diarrhea
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 9
The antibiotics most likely to cause diarrhea
• Cephalosporins, such as cefixime (Suprax) and cefpodoxime (Vantin) • Clindamycin (Cleocin) • Erythromycin (Erythrocin, E.E.S., others) • Penicillins, such as amoxicillin (Larotid, Moxatag, others) and ampicillin • Quinolones, such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro) and levofloxacin (Levaquin) • Tetracyclines, such as doxycycline (Vibramycin, Periostat, others) and minocycline (Minocin, Solodyn, others)
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 10
Other predisposing factors
• Previously experienced antibiotic-associated diarrhea while taking an antibiotic medication • Are age 65 or older • Have had surgery on your intestinal tract • Have recently stayed in a hospital or nursing home • Have a serious underlying illness affecting your intestines, such as colon cancer or inflammatory bowel disease
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 11
Source of Infection
• C. difficle bacteria can be found throughout the environment — in soil, air, water, and human and animal feces. A small number of healthy people naturally carry the bacteria in their large intestine. But C. difficle is most common in hospitals and other health care facilities, where a much higher percentage of people carry the bacteria.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 12
• Disruption of normal colonic flora • Colonisation with C. difficle • Production of toxin A +/- B • Mucosal injury and inflammation
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 13
• Microflora of gut:
– 1012 bacteria/gram – 400-500 species – colonisation resistance
• Transmission faecal/oral
– spores
• Late log / early stationary phase
– toxin production
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 14
Disruption of protective colonic flora (AB or AN)
Colonization with toxigenic C. difficle by fecal-oral transmission Toxin A and B production A/B: Cytoskeletal damage, loss of tight junctions. A: Mucosal injury, inflammation, fluid secretion.
Colitis and Diarrhea
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 15
Clinical features
• Mild disease – mild abdominal cramping pain. - endoscopic findings of diffuse or patchy, nonspecific colitis. • Moderate disease – fever, dehydration, nausea, anorexia, malaise, profuse diarrhea, abdominal distention and cramping pain. - moderate leukocytosis, fecal leukocytes. - diffuse, patchy colitis on endoscopy
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Clinical Manifestations
• Fulminant colitis:
– – – – – – Rare, 2-3% of patients, esp elderly Serious: ileus, perforation, mega colon, death High fever, chills, marked leukocytosis (>40K) May not have diarrhea if ileus or mega colon Risk of perforation w/ sigmoid/colonoscopy Treatment surgical
• Unusual presentations:
– Long latency period (1-2months) – Absence of antibiotic exposure
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 17
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
Severe disease
• Severe disease – usually profuse diarrhea, may be little or no diarrhea. - abdominal pain - fever - volume depletion - marked leukocytosis peritoneal signs - radiologic signs include ileus, dilated colon and edematous colonic mucosa - endoscopic findings of adherent yellow plaques
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 19
Complications of CDAD
• Pseudomembranous colitis
• Toxic mega colon • Perforation of the colon • Sepsis • Death
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 20
Patients at increased risk for disease
• • • • • • • • ANTIBIOTIC EXPOSURE Gastrointestinal surgery or manipulation Long length of stay in healthcare setting Infected roommate Co-morbid illnesses Immunosuppression Advanced age Proton-pump inhibitors and H2-blockers?
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 21
Predictors of Severe Disease • Leukocytosis > 20,000 • Increased creatinine above the baseline
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 22
Traditional list of Antibiotics associated with CDAD
Cephalosporins (3rd and 4th generation)
Clindamycin Other penicillins
Fluoroquinolones Rifampin
Tetracycline's Trimethoprim-Sulphmethoxazole
Methotrexate Cyclophosphamide
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 23
• Endoscopy (pseudomembranous colitis) • Culture • Cell culture cytotoxins test • ELISA toxin test • PCR toxin gene detection
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 24
Laboratory Diagnosis
• Stool culture • Latex agglutination to detect antigen in stools • Tissue culture assay for cytotoxicity of toxin B • Enzyme-linked ImmunoSorbant assay (ELISA) for toxins A and B
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
A new strain of C. difficle (NAP-1)
• Toxin type III
• Unsuppressed production of toxins A and B
• Associated with presence of binary toxin. • Increased resistance to clindamycin and fluoroquinolones. • Potential for increased complications and adverse outcome.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD
• Enhanced infection control measures. • Targeted antibiotic restriction • Appropriate antibiotic therapy • Adjunctive therapy – probiotics, IVIG, toxin binders
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 27
Important supporting approaches
• Surgery • Avoid ant peristaltic and opiate drugs. • Experimental therapy – rifaximin, tolevamar, corticosteroids, vaccine, monoclonal antibodies to toxins A and B, non-toxigenic C,difficile
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 28
Antibiotic Therapy
• Oral therapy – Vancomycin, metronidazole • Unable to tolerate oral therapy – IV metronidazole, Vancomycin via NG tube or enema. • Vancomycin + rifampin • Less frequently used – Bacitracin, fluidic acid
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 29
Indications for Vancomycin therapy
• No response to metronidazole • Metronidazole intolerance • Pregnancy and child < 10 yrs. • Severe/fulminant CDAD
Dr.T.V.Rao MD 31
CDAD continues to be a Important Topic in Clinical Practice • Increasing numbers and severity of CDAD. • Active surveillance recommended. • Early diagnosis and treatment are important for reducing severe outcome. • Judicious use of antibiotics may reduce incidence of CDAD • Strict infection control practices essential.

East End tech chief on why ubiquitous WiFi is a must for London
Tech Hub CEO Elizabeth Varley talks up Digital London
DURING A TRIP to the Digital London event earlier in March, The INQUIRER caught up with Elizabeth Varley, CEO of East London startup commune Tech Hub, to discuss how she sees London's digital future shaping up.
Among a lot of positivity for the way the startup world is growing in the UK, thanks to initiatives like Tech Hub and ongoing investments from government and businesses, Varley discussed some of the ways in which she believes London can continue to evolve.
Chief among these was a call to ensure that WiFi access becomes ubiquitous across the capital to build upon announcements from Virgin Media, O2 and others that are working to bring wireless services to several boroughs of the capital and even the London Underground in time for the Olympics. µ

Chandhok`s team finishes 11th in GT Series opener
Nogaro: Karun Chandhok and his Seyffarth Motorsport team could not convert a good qualifying into a desired result as they finished 11th overall and 7th in the PRO category in their FIA GT Series debut here.
Chandhok and his side struggled to cope with wet conditions initially and were later hit from the back by Frank Stippler, which cost them a few places.
Heavy rain continued to hit the opening round of the FIA GT Series with the morning warm-up session also being very wet. The conditions for the start of the race deteriorated with all drivers having a tricky time on their out-lap.
Chandhok started in sixth position but started to slip down the order as he struggled to get grip on the wet tyres. After four laps Chandhok started to catch the cars in front of him at a rapid pace and passed former F1 driver Ricardo Zonta for 9th place before getting punted from the back by Frank Stippler.
Chandhok then dropped to 16th place before he and his team-mate Jan Seyyfarth managed to fight through the field and finish in a creditable 11th position. This is not only Chandhok`s first race in the FIA GT Series but also the first race for his team Setffarth Motorsport.
Chandhok was optimistic of strong season ahead after a mixed start to the season.
"It is a shame that I got hit by Stippler which cost us more than five places. He came and apologized but we lost the opportunity of a good finish. I was really struggling for grip in the early part of the race but we got more experience in the wet and we have some useful data about the tyres for next time around," Chandhok said.
The next race will take place on April 21 at Zolder, Belgium.

Below, please find John Friend's first response to the recent accusations, a letter to his Anusara community. It is shared with prior permission.
His responses to my questions will be shared today, and represent the first public response, and hopefully go into some depth, allowing all who care about John, the others concerned, and the integrity of Anusara yoga to experience full transparency, which is of course vital to any healing or moving-on process.
To read the legal document below, click here. It was shared on this site two days ago, via Dave Kennedy, who works with John. I've since updated that blog with new information from "the other side," but am only sharing general info as the source has thus far declined my invitation to come forward or corroborate their documents with other anonymous sources.
This is not fun for anyone. I'll be happy when this is over, as I'm sure many of us will be. But for the health and healing of the greater mindful community, and certainly Anusara yoga in particular, we do require transparency, and a respectful, non-anonymous dialogue first.
In the meantime, all we can do is keep on practicing on. ~ ed.

Cardiac surgeon with a new found interest in funding retirement.
I've been a Seeking Alpha member for about 3 years and decided to take a stab at writing a few articles. As a prior non-commissioned officer, I aim to take a different approach than most: I'll be focusing on investing while in the military and how to maximize the benefits available.
These articles are meant to enlighten civilians, guide young soldiers, and solicit advice, and different strategies. I'm not an expert on stock analysis, but I'll do a few write ups along the way. I'm sharing experiences, and looking to engage in conversation about investment vehicles and their application to military retirement. I'm a young investor and I have much to learn. I hope to do exactly that by writing these articles and engaging in conversation with Seeking Alpha members!

My name is Miles Hoffman. I spent 20 years in research departments on the buy side, primarily as a technology and insurance analyst at 2 large institutional investment firms. Having a computer programming background, I was an early "quant" (that never found the right home) with a "heretical" belief in technical analysis.
In between these two firms, I worked as a portfolio manager for the Kuwaiti Institute for Social Security ("KISS"), the social security system of Kuwait (which has REAL money to invest, unlike the pyramid scheme of my home country). Initially I managed a convertible bond portfolio and later managed a conventional bond/stock portfolio. In 1991, I found my "15 minutes of fame" in Kuwait when I unsuccessfully tried to avoid being taken hostage by the invading Iraqi army and was instead shot in the process (but that is a different - and long - story).
Being more of a geek than "a marketer", I left the buy side after running into a ceiling: the head man thought marketing was more important than performance in the money mgmt business. Admittedly, when 80%+ of professionals under-perform their index, "marketing" - as in maintaining - clients is very important; however, we doubled our assets under mgmt in 18 mns when the market style swung to our focus and we generated good returns... so "you take Sally and I'll take Sue" (but I'd rather have both!). Now I trade for myself.
Besides investing, I enjoy reading, gardening and any activity around water.
fwiw: I did not renew my CFA in retirement shortly after a Financial Times article about "the money machine" of the CFA Institute, in which the CEO denied the story angle.... and then promptly raised the retired fee from about $25 to at least $100 (it's currently $100. I thought they went to $125 or $150, so they either backed off or I was so pissed at them that I "behaviorally" remember a worse increase).

Mark Yagalla is an investment guru who made millions and then lost it all by the time he reached 23. Yagalla enrolled at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania but dropped out at 19 after he made his first million. He went to Wall Street and quickly fell prey to its temptations -- wealth and its attendant gifts like fancy cars, beautiful girls and indulgent trips.
While on Wall Street, Yagalla raised $50 million for his hedge funds and by the age of 22 he was making $10 million a year. But the burst of the dotcom bubble led to his demise as well. At 24, he pled guilty to securities fraud.
Yagalla managed not only his hedge funds but was also the owner or partner in a number of endeavors, including Pine Meadows Personal Care Homes, City Wide Transportation, Governor Printz Properties, Ashbury Properties, Ashbury Aviation, TMBR/Sharp Drilling, Delsoft Consulting, Intelliworxx, TravelNow, and many more.
Yagalla's story, similar to that of the Wolf of Wall Street's, has made him a desirable media subject. His story has been shared by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, New York Post, New York Daily News, Daily Mail, CBS News' 48 Hours, USA Today, Philadelphia Magazine, Details Magazine and other media outlets.
His first book, Wall Street Joyride: The True Story of the Prodigy, the Playmates and the Missing $50 Million, talks about his time on Wall Street during the dotcom era. He now trades the markets full-time and writes about them on Seeking Alpha. According to TipRanks, Yagalla is one of the top 100 market bloggers.

Sure Dividend helps individual investors find high quality dividend growth stocks with strong competitive advantages suitable for long-term holding.
I am a Civil Engineer, who is married with two young kids. In 2013 I took a more active role in managing my IRA for retirement and decided to publicly share my experiences in building the portfolio as an example for the dividend growth investing strategy.
My interest in investing mostly began in 2005 when I started up an investment club with a few friends from college and has accelerated as I've been reading and learning along the way. Since then, investing and the stock market has become a passion and favorite hobby and I've enjoyed writing about stocks and sharing ideas I have here on Seeking Alpha.
My investing goals are to build a nest egg for retirement and fund college education accounts for my kids. I invest mainly in dividend paying stocks that have shown a history of consistent growth in earnings and dividend payouts.
Zugzwang (German for "compulsion to move") is a situation found in chess wherein one player is put at a disadvantage because they must make a move when they would prefer to pass and not to move. The fact that the player is compelled to move means that his position will become significantly weaker. A player is said to be "in zugzwang" when any possible move will worsen his position.
Current student at Auburn University, majoring in finance. Emphasis on small/mid cap, oil & gas, utilities, and high yield plays. Main focus is on a dividend driven strategy with a long-term horizon.
I am currently building a portfolio of core holdings that I plan to hold long-term. Most of these names are dividend growth plays as I seek to grow my portfolio through the years by utilizing dividends.
My articles express my own opinion. I see my articles as jumping points for readers to further research. I highly encourage that anyone looking to invest does his/her own research beforehand.

In my professional life I am a senior equity analyst. In this role I am responsible for analyzing European listed companies and their peers on strategy and financial performance. In addition, I execute research in the field of finance and investing. I am especially interested in (back) testing the risk and rewards of value strategies.
I have completed several Master programs in the field of economics and finance, and I am a Certified European Financial Analyst (CEFA, this is the European equivalent of the CFA). Although I learned a lot and these studies form the basis of my knowledge and skills, many of the subjects were quite theoretical and not of much use for investing in practice (I had to learn the Greek alphabet to grasp all the unnecessary complicated math formulas…).
However, in one program at Columbia Business School (Value Investing) I learned about the simplicity and power of the value approach (invented by Benjamin Graham and further developed by Warren Buffett/Bruce Greenwald). So in my articles I will usually use the value approach to describe what I see as attractive or unattractive investments.
Personally I have been investing in equities for over 15 years and I focus primarily on value stocks that are listed in Europe.
First of all, let me state that I am NOT a CPA, attorney, nor financial planner. I am just a relatively savvy stock investor who wants to help the general public find their way through some of the maze of stock investing.
I am 85 years young, although you might not think so from my accompanying newest picture. Yes, that is reallly me, age 84 and 11 months. I have been investing in stocks and bonds for about 60 of those years. It is now my main hobby. I invest mainly in high-yield stocks rated A- or lower down to B. I got stung a few years ago when Lehman Brothers, rated AAA, went down the tubes, costing me over $25,000, so decided to never again get involved with highly rated (over-rated) stocks that paid only small dividends. I prefer the high-yield stocks like BDCs, REITs, and MLPs from which I can get paid NOW, even though I actually expect to last another 20 years or so. I have developed my own stock investing system that I call MRHY (medium risk, high yield).
I took early retirement in 1987 from a job as manager of a Computer Systems and Programming department at a large life insurance company. I am the holder of a CDP (Certificate in Data Processing) from the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA). During my working years, I frequentlly worked closely with the company actuaries and accountants. I even took some actuarial classes to be able to work with the actuaries in their own language and skills. Those experiences, plus my computer skills and high IQ, have alllowed me to build my stock portfolio from less than $300,000 in 1987 to over $600,000 in 2007. I also have the benefits of ~95% long term retention of whatever I read or hear, which is very useful in stock market investing. I inherited $everal hundred thou$and in 2011, which I have invested in medium-risk, high-yield stocks (MRHY), so that my total stock portfolio is now well over $1.25 million.
The above Bio was posted a couple of years ago and has now (October, 2015) been updated. My stock holdings are now over $1.5 Million and my annual dividend income is now just
over $175,000. I also collect income from SSA, 3 annuities that my deceased wife and I started receiving when we retired, and a restaurant seating about 120 that I bought in November, 2014, for a total annual income of about $240,000.
Folks, if I can do it, you can too. All that it requires is a good brain with an understanding of the financial world, mathematics, and a little actuarial science, plus a high risk tolerance!
I am a quantitative model designer. I build customized portfolio solutions for brokerages, family offices and individual clients around the world. Some of the models required the capacity to trade hundreds of millions of dollars.
I would best describe myself as a value investor looking for entries based on events such as upgraded earnings forecasts. I minimize risk by analyzing short interest, diversifying across industries, blending multiple models of low correlation or using market neutral strategies.

OTHER VOICES: A WWI story you probably don't knowComments Email
By Edward Noga, Crain News Service
AKRON (July 17, 2014) — The history of rubber doesn't lack for interesting and unusual tales.
Stories such as Henry Wickham smuggling 70,000 Hevea brasilensis rubber seeds out of Brazil—at the risk of his life if he'd been caught—and onto Kew Gardens in England.
Plants derived from these seeds created the natural rubber (NR) industry in Southeast Asia, thereby breaking Brazil's monopoly on the business.
Speaking of monopoly, how about Benjamin Franklin Goodrich, tired of being smothered by the rubber trust back East, migrating to little Akron, Ohio. There, he planted the seeds that turned Akron into the Rubber City, the center of the tire and rubber industry for a century. Not Melrose, N.Y., where his business had failed.
For sheer boldness, you won't find many stories that match Henry Ford's massive attempt to create a NR plantation—"Fordlandia"—and transplant Midwest American values and lifestyle to the Brazilian jungle. Or how about the collaborative effort of industry, government and academia in World War II that created GR-S general-purpose synthetic rubber, thereby overcoming the Allies' loss of the Southeast Asian rubber plantations.
Fascinating stories, all.
A new one, for me, is the barter arrangement that happened in World War I between the British and the Germans. The best source on this is Adam Hochschild's excellent book, "To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914-1918."
The British blockaded Germany, thereby making it impossible for the Germans to obtain the rubber it needed for its massive war machine, let alone civilian use. The Germans worked hard to develop synthetic rubbers, but the results were meager and the rubber subpar.
At the same time, the British were desperate for quality binoculars. In the brutal trench warfare, they were of vital importance.
Necessity makes strange bedfellows. As Mr. Hochschild relates, Britain's Ministry of Munitions sent an agent to neutral Switzerland where he met with the German War Office officials. Could Germany supply binoculars, one type for infantry officers, another for artillery officers?
Germany jumped on the deal. The war office wanted rubber in return.
Within six weeks after signing the contract, 10,000 to 15,000 of each type of binoculars were delivered to the British via neutral Switzerland. The British shipped NR from Southeast Asia and Africa through that route to Germany in payment.
According to the scant records of the arrangement Mr. Hochschild found, the Germans offered lower-grade binoculars for non-commissioned officers, and even telescopic sites for sniper rifles.
Think about it: The need for rubber was so huge, the German government was willing to aid in the deaths of its soldiers directly to get the material. The British war office, for its part, was fine with an agreement that had the same net result, just more indirectly.
Since this year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I—a conflict where generals displayed a criminal disregard for the lives of their troops—maybe rubber-for-binoculars isn't so surprising.

Avril Lavigne's Album Delayed Again Due to Her Split From Deryck Whibley
Avril Lavigne's album has reportedly been delayed again, following her split from husband Deryck Whibley. The pair separated in 2009 after three years of marriage, with the singer filing for divorce in September 2009 citing "irreconcilable differences".
Lavigne's fourth studio album, which is being produced by the Sum 41 star, was delayed from its original November 2009 release date by two months, but reports suggest it now won't be ready until the summer of 2010. The former couple is attempting to complete the disc together but finds it "terribly frustrating" finishing the production schedule, according to Jam! Showbiz.
A source tells the website "The first eight songs, Avril and Deryck worked with a lot of love and it came easy. But there's three or four more to do and they just ain't feeling it. It'll be a terrific album if they can put this aside for a month or so and concentrate on what matters - the music."

And it was closer to $55 than $20 for matls in my area (Los Angeles) but still cheaper than buying premade. One of the pvcs ended up going in at a slight angle so I just had to adjust the top portion of the netting on each side to keep it taut and prevent it from collapsing in the middle. Also, how to get the dirt out of the driven pvc? The conduit won't go in all the way down, about 10" extra poke out the top on both sides. :/Marybeth Knighthttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-34564152199606012272016-06-28T15:07:11.812-06:002016-06-28T15:07:11.812-06:00Thank You!!!!

You should leave a little more material on the inside and I always serge or zig zag the salvage so it doesnt fray, which could cause the seam to seperate. I always put seam tape on the inside when I iron them to keep them from turning up.Unknownhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-56909194904043099382016-05-31T01:33:14.600-06:002016-05-31T01:33:14.600-06:00I'm going to go a step further and add trumpet...I'm going to go a step further and add trumpet sleeves over the tights to create a simple and quick princess dress costumeJennifer Kinneyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993630339709873004.post-4670776472842858752016-05-30T21:29:39.447-06:002016-05-30T21:29:39.447-06:00Go for it!

Would adding an inch to the measurements help account for the hemming or just totally ruin the pattern/fit? I'm a novice at sewing and really don't want to ruin it!

We bought a potty seat and showed my son how it sat on the toliet and we let him sit on it while it was on the floor. The first couple of time that my son sat on it while it was on the potty he got a reward, but then we told him that he has to go pee on the potty like Mommy and Daddy. Now that he is two, we try to sit on the potty everynight and when he goes he gets a reward. We had a slight backwards slide when we moved in to our new house, but I expected it. I did buy him some big boy underwear to wear aroung the house, if he pees in them he knows what it feels like to be wet, as opposed to his diaper. We just take it day by day.
