In 1963, she was summoned for a command performance before Queen Elizabeth in Glasgow, Scotland. In a vigorous and unyielding attempt to reach those millions existing in isolation and fear behind the Iron Curtain, for years, Connie had her own weekly radio show on the 50,000 watt Radio Luxemburg with its fifteen million daily listeners, and became the ever-present voice on The Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and the Armed Forces Network.
Connie appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show more frequently than any other female artist; these famous Sullivan TV appearances including exciting, once-in-a-lifetime shows aired from Paris' Moulin Rouge, Guantanamo Naval base and at the Berlin Wall, where she entertained American troops only a month after the infamous barrier was erected.
In addition, Connie was presented with the Custom Clothiers "Best Dressed" award and included in the World's Who's Who of Women and the Who's Who of American Women. In 1960, she was named Miss Coca-Cola, and embarked on a heavy schedule of radio and TV commercials to promote the soft drink.
At a formal dinner, presided over by Canada's Prime Minster, Lester Pearson, Miss Francis was distinguished with a "Golden Heart" statuette commemorating her selection as the "Female Vocalist of the Century." Bing Crosby also accepted a statuette, marking him the "Male Vocalist of the Century." Mystically, Connie has never been inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Of this glaring omission, Connie's comment has been, "I have no plausible explanation for this oversight, and I'm certain, that if asked, the 'impartial' members of this committee couldn't dream up a logical explanation either. But I take solace in the fact that I'm not alone, because there are many other multi-million-seller artists like Neil Sedaka, the groups KISS and Chicago and Paul Anka to name a few, who've also been inexplicably overlooked by this 'exclusive' club, as well. It's a colossal joke," she says. "As a matter of fact, in the very unlikely event that I were ever to be nominated, I would undoubtedly decline. It's nothing but a patently and unabashedly political issue."
In early 1960, famed Hollywood producer, Joe Pasternak, the discoverer of movie icons like Deanna Durbin, Judy Garland, Jane Powell, Kathryn Grayson and Elizabeth Taylor, urged Connie to appear and sing the title song in his new movie, "Where the Boys Are." Her father vehemently vetoed what he described as "a dirty movie" which, at the time, actually was considered a bit too "risqué" for the typical American audience. But that "little film," which opened on January 21, 1960 at both the Gateway Theatre in Fort Lauderdale and Radio City Music Hall in New York City, became the largest-grossing low-budget film in MGM's history, and to that date, the most successful movie ever to appear at Radio City. Within a few months of its release, Ft. Lauderdale became a scene of uncontrollable bedlam, as 75,000 kids descended upon the sun-drenched city, making it the official "spring break capital of the world". So popular was the million-selling title song, that when Connie recorded it in five other languages — Italian, Spanish, French, German and Japanese — it reached #1 in 19 countries.
Her first German language recording, Die Liebe Ist Ein Seltzsames Spiel, was an adaptation of her U.S. #1 hit Everybody's Somebody's Fool. It would become Germany's best-selling record for many years afterward. Following a string of hugely successful hits in that language, she became the best-selling female recording artist in German history. She was awarded Radio Luxemburg's prestigious Golden Lion award, acknowledging her as the most programmed and popular recording artist, male or female, on the European continent — the first time this special honor was won by a non-European.
As if her life had been written by a Greek poet, tragedy was destined to decimate her future. After three years of retirement, during which time she married, Connie was devastated when she suffered a miscarriage. In the aftermath of this emotionally trying event, she became so despondent that, at the urging of her husband, Joe Garzilli, she reluctantly agreed to appear at the Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, Long Island as the first stop of a nationwide tour. However, on the fourth night of that engagement, Nov. 7th/8th, 1974, Connie's world came to a tragic and brutal halt. Shortly after returning from the theatre to the Howard Johnson Motel where she'd been staying, she was brutally robbed, beaten and raped at knife point. This event made unwanted, glaring headlines across the world. Ironically, this was the very same night, when prior to her show, she discovered in a pile of fan mail, a letter written to her offering a beautiful four-month-old baby boy immediately available for adoption. Connie was ecstatic when her lifelong dream of having a child was coming true at last. After her brutal rape, her life would never be the same. The status of her previously-happy third marriage would eventually be unable to overcome both the rape and the harrowing four-week trial in '76 against the Howard Johnson Motel chain.
Understandably devastated, terrified and ashamed to face the public, for the next seven long years, Connie went into self-imposed seclusion, becoming an unwitting symbol as America's most famous victim of violent crime. During those difficult years, she received tens of thousands of letters from victims of all kinds of violent crime throughout the land. In 1976, after Connie and her husband, Joe, had gone through that tortuous four-week, carnival-like spectacle of the Howard Johnson's Motor Chain, she was awarded $2,600,000 for the motel's glaring failure to provide a safe room. This was the largest amount ever awarded in a case of sexual assault in the world. It would become a watershed of litigation, for the first time, making the owners and operators of any establishment — anywhere the public is allowed to congregate — responsible for the public's safety. Until today, this unique case is still used in law schools across the country as the seminal case in hotel and motel security.
Unbeknownst to Connie, in the terrible aftermath of the rape, her husband and the couple's attorney/friend, Rickard Frank, the man to whom, an hour prior to the attack, she had given the number of the lady who wrote about the child's availability for adoption, worked to make the couple's plans to adopt the little boy a reality. Only one month after the rape, she was more joyous than she'd ever been, when Richard Frank, along with another friend, brought home to Connie, wrapped in a big red ribbon, the five-month-old baby boy she'd call Joey.

Manhattan Real Estate Now 'Reasonable,' Whatever That Means
The weather in Manhattan may be in deep freeze, but the real estate market continues to thaw. With prices falling–co-ops hit 2005 levels–buyers are pounding the (frozen) pavement hunting deals.
Median prices were down nearly 15% from a year ago. The average price per square foot fell 17%. Buyers defied the typical seasonal slowness and pounced, sending closings soaring by nearly 50% from a year earlier, according to fourth-quarter data from brokerage The Corcoran Group and PropertyShark.com.
Several market reports expected Tuesday detail a once high-flying market trying to recover from a housing crash and credit-crisis paralysis. While homes are taking longer to sell, there are early signs of improvement: Properties are receiving multiple bids, less inventory is hitting the market and, in the latest quarter, fewer sellers cut prices. International buyers, absent for much of last year, are returning.
"I just can't deny the improvement that we've had," says Noah Rosenblatt, a broker and publisher of UrbanDigs.com, a blog focused on Manhattan real estate. "There's been so much action…The risk of systemic failure has been priced out of the market."
The closings boost is expected to continue for several months, fueled by increasing buyer confidence as the economy shows improvement, interest rates remain low and the government dangles a tax credit to first-time and move-up buyers. But the market faces headwinds that could reverse recent improvement, including the risk of mortgage rates climbing, mounting unemployment and the expiration of the tax credit, which was extended from November until April. Credit standards, meanwhile, remain tight–particularly for those looking to get a "jumbo" mortgage–making it hard for even some willing buyers to close deals.
The market's lower end benefited from the credit in the fourth quarter, as affordability increased for those long priced out of the market. Properties under $500,000 made up nearly a quarter of total sales, up from 15% a year ago, according to Corcoran. At that price point, most Big Apple buyers would likely be snaring a studio apartment–that median price fell 13% to $390,000 from a year ago.
Weakness, however, persists for new projects, which saw rampant overbuilding during the boom. Those median prices tumbled 23% from a year earlier to a median $1.19 million, Corcoran reports. It's also been tough for the luxury segment, hurt by higher interest rates on so-called jumbo loans, which saw median prices fall 22% to $3.9 million.
Some desperate sellers have resorted to dramatic price chopping. At 15 William St. in downtown, unit 43A has been cut by more than 45% to $1.7 million, according to StreetEasy.com. Further uptown at 444 E. 86th St., a three-bedroom unit measuring 1,400 square feet, has fallen by more than 40% to $1.17 million.
That's quite the turnaround for Manhattan, which long seemed immune to the housing downturn thanks to an island geography that limits expansion. But it weakened following the September 2008 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the ensuing financial crisis that erased thousands of local high-paying jobs and slashed Wall Street bonuses.
Since peaking in the third-quarter of 2008, co-ops have tumbled 13% to a median $622,250, while condos, which peaked the next quarter, have plunged 22% to a median $1.033 million, according to Corcoran. For co-ops, both median sales price and average price per square foot have fallen back to late 2005 prices.
Kyle Young recently looked at dozens of apartments before paying $635,000 for a one-bedroom on West 75th Street priced around $675,000 in December. The closing price, he said, is reasonable, "if you can use the word 'reasonable' in terms of Manhattan real estate."

Where's New York's Suit Against UnitedHealth?
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo came down hard last month on UnitedHealth and more than a dozen other insurers, saying he would sue them for allegedly misleading patients about the cost of out-of-network medical care.
"We believe there was an industry-wide scheme perpetrated by some of the nation's largest health insurance companies to defraud consumers," Cuomo said the day before Valentine's Day. His lead attorney on the case pronounced the system used by Ingenix, a UnitedHealth sub that crunches data used by many insurers to set out-of-network rates, as "garbage in, garbage out."
So here we are two weeks later, and nothing has been been filed.
Cuomo's announcement served mainly as notice that he was subpoenaing the companies and giving them a five-day warning, required by law, that he might sue. With that hammer in hand, Cuomo's negotiating with UnitedHealth. A spokesman for the NY AG declined to give any details and told the Health Blog: "Discussions relating to our industry-wide investigation into reimbursement practices are ongoing." For its part, UnitedHealth confirmed that talks are ongoing and defended its system.
Not a bad gambit, said Daniel Richman, a Columbia University law professor and former federal prosecutor who keeps an eye on the New York AG's office. "By committing himself, [Cuomo] is signaling to the defendants, or the companies he's investigating, that he's not going to back down."
At the same time, both sides "would rather negotiate prior to a complaint than after," Richman added. UnitedHealth might have to make fewer concessions to put the inquiry behind them, and Cuomo doesn't risk a settlement that fails to address some allegations laid out explicitly in court documents. A UnitedHealth spokesman commented: "We would always agree that it's better to talk than to wind up in legal battles."
Update: Cuomo has issued new subpoenas to Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealth and WellPoint, the Associated Press reported. He's looking to subpoena testimony from CEOs of those companies and from execs at Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield (a unit of WellPoint) and Excellus, the combined Group Health Inc. and HIP Health Plan.

It's this anti-immigration legislation that they're trying to push, where they would allow police officers to racially profile undocumented immigrants, especially people in the Mexican community. I think that's horrendous. But what amazes me is that people support this law. I was watching the news, this woman in Arizona, looking at a camera, straight faced, she says, 'Hey, we're just trying to bring the country back to the way it used to be.' The way it used to be? Lady, you're in Arizona. It used to be Mexico.
Watch highlights from season one and find out why that's great news.

By Renee-Lucie Benoit
Horse, Trail, Ride, Friendship, Adventure, Renee-Lucie Benoit
There she was arse-over-teakettle, as we sometimes say, hanging by her pant leg cuff from the gate post. What could we do but laugh? Her horse was calmly standing there waiting for the shenanigans to end. So far as we could tell only her dignity was in trouble. This was one of the many little "events" that made my trail rides with my old girlfriends so fun and worthy of tall-tales over a cup of coffee at the local constabulary.
For years my friends Abigail and Clara (names changed to protect the innocent) and I had a trail ride every Sunday. Abigail had a key to a section of the local watershed that was off-limits to the public. She had come by this key years ago when she helped the ranchers who leased the land to move their cattle from pasture to pasture. This particular section of forest was set next to a large reservoir and was only open to the ranchers and the forest service. But Abigail had the key and she kept it safe because it allowed us to ride unencumbered of the public with their joggers, baby strollers and any number of things that might make a horse spook and head for the hills. We always rode on Sunday because that was the day we were least likely to come upon a forest service employee. Hence, we called it "The Sunday Key".
The particular Sunday we had the incident of The Pants we were riding toward the section and we were going through a gate. We all had our horses trained to open gates from horseback so we didn't have to get down and back up. Clara had worn regular pants that day that had floppy legs and when she went through the gate somehow her pant leg got caught on the gate post. Her lovely mare kept walking and the next thing you know Clara was hanging from the post like a Christmas tree ornament. She wasn't very happy that we thought it was so funny but once she extricated herself she had a good laugh, too. Whew! Escaped a harrowing situation and lived to tell the tale.
The ride we took was through pine woods next to the reservoir and up through hilly oak savanna grassland. Near the reservoir there were egrets and their aeries. There were also large flocks of pelicans wheeling in precision flight. But mostly there was silence and peace. It was the perfect place to leave the cares of the world behind and to find our center again. We rode on fire roads that were wide and graded dirt that was perfect footing for horses. We could walk our horses or trot and if there was a good place we might take a little hand-gallop up the hill to the pylon where the view was spectacular. From there we could see the undulating hills of the coast range, the reservoir in one direction and the hills going out to the bay in the other. The days were hot and dry and the grass rustled in the breeze as we walked along. Even though the air temperature was hot it was relatively cool under the pine trees. It was the perfect place to discuss and solve the world's problems from horseback.
(caption: Photo courtesy of Melissa White of Western Trail Rides in Ojai, California)
Once Abigail decided we should go "cross-country". She was certain that there was an old trail and that she could find it. The next thing we knew we were committed to ducking through overgrown coyote brush to push through to somewhere more amenable. You can back a horse up but not very well especially when you find yourself in brush that is head high and dense.
Another time we learned that the bull in the cattle lease got left behind when they moved the cows out. We decided that we should go find it. We looked up hill, down hill, pillar and post but never found it. Yet, we found superb vistas and cool ravines. It was always worth the adventure.
Now we are all older and we've gone in different ways. One of us can't really ride any more due to physical infirmities. I live far away. Only one of us still rides a lot but she has gone on to a different discipline which has her in an arena most of the time. Yet those days of the Sunday Ride still linger in my mind. They were the best of days and they will only be forgotten when we're not around to remember them.

Destinations - Summer 2004
Fort Meyers, FL - 6/30...I had wanted to go down to Lover's Key for a while because I've been looking at all the state parks there are in Florida and Lover's Key looked great and it was. I went with my girlfriend, Ashley on one of her days off of work because she had wanted to go as well. The driving went well and the day was looking fine with a few clouds but as we got further south, the skies got darker and I feared a rain out. Luckily, the rain fell all around Lover's Key, but did not hit it, not even a small shower. I did catch a great photo of a lightning bolt, though. After we'd had enough sand, we headed 45 minutes north to Mike Greenwell's go karts, putt putt, batting cages, etc. I had gone to this place a few years before and remembered how fast their karts were. This time around, they were still good, but not as fast as I remembered. The 2 tracks we rode were still great. Got back in Tampa around 1 am exhausted.
Orange Park, FL - 7/13-7/14...I went to see Ashley for just a day in this small city in the northeastern corner of Florida. The city, which I didn't see much of, reminded me of Tallahassee...at least the traffic/road aspect, which is not a good thing. The driving in Tallahassee's awful, mostly in the main drag of it - there are way too many traffic lights and too many drivers. Anyway, there's a place Ashley took me to called Biscottis which has the best cake ever. I never caught the real name of it, unless the real name was 'pink cake,' that's what it was referred to by everyone. It consisted of delicious white cake under raspberry frosting separated in the middle by white frosting and bottomed by a half inch of cheesecake, but at $6.25 a slice, it was savored heavily (not like two people could eat more that one slice together anyway). The rest of the short trip was great, not much to comment to the public about.
Phoenix, MD - 8/4-8/10...the annual trip to see my grandmother, father's side, went well, as it usually does. The flight is around 2 hours and I never have to fight my sister for a window seat, she never wants it, so everything goes smoothly. This trip, the 3 story house had been worked on quite a bit. The billiard room (1st floor) used to have a skylight and a 2nd floor deck around the skylight on top. Recently, the deck and skylight were taken out and turned into another room with lots of windows. The food was great as usual and on the day before flying back to Tampa, we got to take a bus trip to...
Manhattan, NY - 8/9...I love the name of the city, the way it sounds is just awesome. I really didn't think I'd like the city that much, but as soon as I was off the bus, I was blown away. The only other experience that came close to the magnitude of everything there was being in London (which I liked better, but that's because all of England is amazing). We got off in Times Square and walked all around, I lost my sense of direction but didn't care where I ended up - everywhere was cool. My grandmother, sister, aunt and I took a carriage ride around Central Park but not before I requested going to see the Guggenheim (a 3 mile walk round trip from the south tip of Central Park), my first personal Frank Lloyd Wright experience. That man is a genius. I didn't go into the art exhibit because we had left my grandmother to read in Central Park for lack of ability to walk that far, but I did wander around the lobby and in the gift shop for a while and took plenty of pictures. The four of us hung around Rockefeller Center for much of the rest of the day until our bus departed at 6. My feet were sore, my legs were tired, but it was amazing. P.S. the kettle corn at Popcorn, Indiana was fantastic, but unfortunately expensive.
Las Vegas, NV...I got a free trip to Las Vegas from my employer at VH Video. There is a huge wedding/events convention in Las Vegas every year called WEVA - Wedding Events Videographers Association. The expo floor was great as were the many seminars I attended. And although I'm not old enough to gamble, I had my friend Tim who's 24, who also works with me, put some money down on Roulette. I came out of Vegas on top winning $25, not a fortune, but winning's great. While I was there I rode the Manhattan Express at New York, New York and Speed: the Ride at the NASCAR Cafe inside the Sahara. I think I'll make a new list about roller coasters...
St. Petersberg, FL...I go to St. Pete quite often for various occasions. The first time I went this summer was to see the Salvador Dali Museum on 6/28 with Ashley because she's a starving artist and has wanted to go for sometime and I like Dali's work as well. My favorite pieces were the Disappearing Bust of Voltaire and the Hallucinogenic Toreador which are probably everyone else's favorites. Another trip to St. Pete (7/26) was to meet with one of the leading guys at Florida Craftsman to discuss shooting a commercial for them which I am going back today (8/11) to shoot. Update: Could not shoot on 8/11 due to the ominous threat of Hurricane Charley (which I knew wouldn't hit Tampa, but it never hurts to take precaution), so I filmed the commercial on Friday, 8/20.

I went the Dali museum, and guess what...my favorite was The Hallucinogenic Toreador. I have a poster of it in my room.

It was amazing. Then I heard one of the guides explaining the different semi hidden images within it and it blew my mind. My girlfriend has a copy of the poster in her apartment as well.

there was a study done a couple years ago that found that 32% of households in America are just 1illness,accident, or downsizing away from homelessness. what a scary thought! we are taught in "the good book" to care for the weakest among us and that the meek shall inherit the earth. i understand the frustration of many of you. you pay your taxes, vote and do your best to care for your families and it may seem sometimes like your hard earned dollars are going to help people you may feel dont deserve it. i admit a certain % of the homeless are in that spot due to addiction etc. but many are good people in a tough spot that "there but the grace of god go i" compassion is the hallmark of the citizens of our great state and our great nation. everytime a natural disaster hits anywhere in the world we Americans are the 1st to cue up ready to help and this is what makes us great as a society and a people. as the Australians say "good on ya" to all who help the we

Those with children have an additional problem, and it's more than just getting a state ID. Now, a family asking for assistance has to prove that everyone is a citizen. Birth certificates and social security cards are required for every member of the household requesting aid. If the family has been misplaced due to natural disaster, fire, etc. these things can be rather time-consuming to acquire. If any of the children have been born out of state, it can take 6-8 weeks to be able to prove their citizenship. While we do have an issue with drug addiction in this area, mental illness also contributes to the numbers in our homeless population. The sign-holders are not indicative of true homeless. The services available in our area will provide shelter and food. House to Home provides services to help our homeless find employment and a home. The sign-holders, 9 times out of 10, are the ones that are looking to feed an addiction. Don't hold their actions against the other homeless in town.

I guess there is a lot of reasons for the homeless population, some by choice, etc. However, this type of problem needs to be addressed and those folks who want help should get help. No one should have to live in a tent in the cold of winter.

Coolbeans and all others who are misplacing their sympathy on the homeless. I was once homeless and had no address and needed a helping hand for a few months. All I needed was a state ID, and I picked my correspondence up at the Health and Human services office.
There is help out there for needy Americans, some just allow mental illness, drug addiction, or pride stand in the way. I feel that they are within their rights to refuse help but they should not put small children through homelessness with them. I will still argue that they are homeless by choice.

Take your pick Parkersburg people, live in poverty, face homelessness, or leave the area. Your mayor has run off over 7 percent of your population and you re-elected him. He has made it his mission to go to "home rule" and will probably get his way. Was the user tax voted on? Nor will be home rule, hes waiting for the state legislature to take away your choice. So when your officials "retire" they will move out of state after bleeding you dry...Any word on your county commissioner paying his 16,000.00 in taxes? How about the "misappropriated" funds from your childrens educations? Still paying that police officer who was fired and reinstated, or dragging their feet still? Parkersburg will be left with dupepont poising their employees/residents and your locall "leaders" will tax you to death.

As the drug trade grows, so will the homeless population.
I find it hard to believe there are families who allow their children to live without a home when there are so many public dole programs. They pay your rent, give you a phone, buy your food, and help with transportation.

I would like to thank all the volunteers who didn't receive mention here, but who came out and helped us perform the PIT Survey as well as the preparation you all put into the entire event.
I would especially like to acknowledge Children's Home Society, Peer Support, West Virginia DHHR, Mid-Ohio Valley Fellowship Home, Community Resources, SW Resources, Old Man Rivers, S.A.F.E. Program, House to Home as well as my fellow co-workers from Westbrook Health Services who put in countless hours to ensure we were prepared and outreached everyone experiencing homeless in every capacity to our fullest.
And finally to the Salvation Army and Latrobe Street Mission, thank you for not only taking part in the PIT but for the opportunity you offer for everyone who is currently in need. Your efforts are beyond our communities expression of appreciation.
Together we are the Mid-Ohio Valley, and we will continue to grow strong as a community, as we honor and support one another.

Don't Fear High-Frequency Trading
I occasionally hear from readers who say they are fleeing stocks because they fear a market crash due to the prevalence of high-frequency trading. This is almost certainly a mistake. Here's why…
High-frequency traders rapidly buy and sell large amounts of securities with statistics and algorithms that drive electronic-trading strategies. Using high-speed data systems, linkages with underground networks, and locations strategically positioned close to the servers of electronic exchanges, they compete to buy and sell in increasingly smaller fractions of a second.
Their influence is substantial. High-frequency traders now make up approximately half the daily volume on U.S. stock exchanges.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."
CLICK HERE to get your Free E-Book, "The Little Black Book Of Billionaires Secrets"
Critics claim that these traders are high-tech pirates who destabilize the markets and cost most market participants money. Not so.
High-frequency traders spot and capitalize on very small discrepancies in bid/ask spreads among various exchanges. In the process – as both Berkshire Chairman Warren Buffett and Vanguard Founder John Bogle have pointed out – they tighten those spreads and increase market liquidity. These are both good things for ordinary investors.
Trust me, high-frequency traders aren't doing anything the average trader or investor is doing anyway.
They are essentially vacuuming up nickels and dimes. Daniel Weaver, Professor of Finance and Associate Director for Whitcomb Center for Research in Financial Services, points out that the average high-frequency trader's profit is 10 cents on every 100 shares traded. My guess is that's not your investment objective.
How about the complaint that high-frequency traders make stock prices more volatile?
Again, this simply isn't true. Investigators have already concluded that the flash crash of May 6, 2010 and other recent market hiccups were caused not by high-frequency trading but by erroneous orders and other technological glitches. In fact, as high-frequency trading has increased, market volatility has actually declined. The Dow's 1,100-point advance over the last four months, for instance, has been remarkable only for its smoothness.
I'm not saying a stock market crash isn't possible. It certainly is and every investor should plan for this contingency. However, the SEC has installed circuit breakers that will halt market-wide trading if the Dow suddenly drops 10%, 20% or 30%.
This is designed to give traders and investors an opportunity to stop and re-check their sanity if a panic were to ensue for whatever reason. In truth, however, if high-frequency trading were responsible for a sharp break in the market, you should rub your hands together and click your heels.
After all, only a tiny fraction of any company's shares change hands on any given day. Yet these transactions determine the buy and sell price for the entire firm. If a company's share price were to suddenly nosedive without any change in its fundamentals or business outlook that would represent an unequivocal buying opportunity.
To illustrate the point, imagine that every piece of real estate carried real-time bids and offers during market hours each day. If you saw a piece of land, a home or an office building suddenly selling for half what it was the day before, what would you do? Panic and sell your own home? Sit on your hands and do nothing?
I'd like to think that if you had any money or any sense, you'd step up and take advantage of the mispricing. In other words, you'd buy.
Stocks are no different. A high-frequency-induced trading crash, though unlikely, might provide you with the buying opportunity of a lifetime.
As every seasoned investor knows, price is what you pay. But value is what you get.
Good Investing,

Henry IV Part 2
by William Shakespeare
Character Role Analysis
Lord Chief Justice
At first, Prince Hal is set in opposition to King Henry IV's Lord Chief Justice (LCJ), the guy appointed to uphold "the majesty and power of law and justice" (5.2.78). Apparently, the LCJ once threw the prince in the slammer for boxing him, the Lord Chief Justice, on the ears. In other words, Hal smacked him upside his head and has been at odds with the guy ever since. After King Henry IV dies and Prince Hal officially becomes King Henry V, the LCJ is seriously worried that the new monarch will punish him. This, of course, turns out not to be the case.

Eye Health Center
Ophthalmoscopy (also called fundoscopy) is a test that allows a doctor to see inside the back of the eye (called the fundus) and other structures using a magnifying instrument (ophthalmoscope) and a light source. It is done as part of an eye exam and may be done as part of a routine physical exam.
The fundus contains a lining of nerve cells (the retina), which detects images seen by the clear, outer covering of the eye (cornea). The fundus also contains blood vessels and the optic nerve.
There are two types of ophthalmoscopy.
- Direct ophthalmoscopy. Your doctor uses an instrument about the size of a small flashlight with several lenses that can magnify up to about 15 times.
- Indirect ophthalmoscopy. Your doctor uses a small handheld lens and either a slit lamp microscope or a light attached to a headband. Indirect ophthalmoscopy provides a wider view of the inside of the eye and allows a better view of the fundus even if the lens is clouded by cataracts .
Why It Is Done
Ophthalmoscopy is done to:
- Detect problems or diseases of the eye, such as retina problems.
- Help diagnose other conditions or diseases that damage the eye.
- Evaluate symptoms, such as headaches.
- Detect other problems or diseases, such as head injuries or brain tumors.
How To Prepare
No special preparation is needed before having this test.
Your doctor may use eyedrops to widen (dilate) your pupils. This makes it easier to see the back of the eye. The eyedrops take about 15 to 20 minutes to dilate the pupil fully. Your doctor may also use eyedrops to numb the surface of your eyes. Tell your doctor if:
- You or anyone else in your family has glaucoma.
- You are allergic to dilating or anesthetic eyedrops.
You may have trouble focusing your eyes for several hours after the test. You may wish to arrange to have someone drive you home after the test. You also will need to wear sunglasses when you go outside or into a brightly lit room.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results may mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).

Dexter blisters Fredericktown; Kennett advances
SIKESTON - The Class 3A, District 1 boys basketball tournament got under way on Tuesday at the Sikeston Field House.
All three scheduled games went according to seed with No. 2 Dexter rolling past No. 7 Fredericktown 80-38; No. 3 Sikeston slipping by No. 6 Perryville 57-48 in overtime; and No. 4 Kennett beating No. 5 Doniphan 57-56.
Kennett will play top-seeded New Madrid County Central on Thursday at 6 p.m. followed by Sikeston and Dexter, who will square off at 7:30.
Perryville's Andrew Meyr hit a 3-pointer at the end of regulation to tie the game at 44-44 and send it into overtime.
The Bulldogs grabbed a quick 49-44 lead in the overtime and held on to advance to the semifinals.
"I knew it was going to be a tough game," said Sikeston head coach Gregg Holifield. "(Perryville) shoots the basketball extremely well. I knew they were going to play zone and stand in against us. We struggle occasionally shooting the ball from the perimeter. I'm just proud that we were able to rally back and beat them."
Sikeston (14-11) had trouble with the Pirates' tight zone, which was geared towards containing the Bulldogs' Lontas McClinton.
The Pirates surrounded McClinton with two and three players at times.
"We did all we could," said Perryville head coach Jeff Steffens. "We came out and executed our gameplan. We were trying to make other people besides Lontas and Justin Freeman beat us. We were feeling pretty good about ourselves. We battled back, fought hard and sent it into overtime. That's all you can ask."
McClinton only had five points at halftime as the Pirates held an 18-17 lead.
But the 6-3 junior ended up with a team-high 19 points, scoring 12 in the fourth quarter and overtime periods. He also had five steals.
"Lontas is an excellent ball-player and an excellent athlete and he hits the boards hard so we had to know where he was at all times," said Steffens. "We did a good job on him for most of the game."
Junior guard Lavar Morgan, after being held scoreless on Friday against Kennett, scored 17 points with seven rebounds and four assists.
"They both really played well," said Holifield. "We've got to have offensive production out of both of them and Freeman for us to be a good basketball team."
Freeman finished up with nine points, five rebounds and three blocked shots.
Perryville raced out to a 12-5 lead to start the game before Morgan finished the quarter with seven straight points, including a 3-pointer at the buzzer to knot the score at 12-12.
In the third quarter, Sikeston built a 24-20 advantage but the Pirates went on a 9-0 run to lead 29-24 with under two minutes remaining in the period.
Sikeston finished the quarter strong with a McClinton slam dunk and another Morgan 3-pointer at the buzzer to retake lead 32-31.
The Bulldogs' pressure defense paid off during the run.
"We knew coming in that they would be a very quick team," said Steffens. "That's one thing that we have trouble with is taking care of pressure."
Sikeston opened up a five-point lead at two different points in the fourth quarter but they couldn't hit free throws down the stretch.
Sikeston was just 4-of-10 in the fourth quarter from the line, including two missed front ends of one-and-one shots.
But in the overtime period Sikeston hit 7-of-11 free throws to help ice the game.
"We feel good about ourselves that we were able to take them to overtime because they're a good team," said Steffens. "We were the No. 6 seed and nobody really gave us a chance."
The Pirates (12-14) ended the season with 10 straight losses.
Perryville was led by 6-foot-6, 250-pound center Chad Ozark, who scored a game-high 20 points.
"He played very physical inside," said Steffens. "He did a good job tonight. At times he took it straight to the rack and was unstoppable. Other times he shied away from contact and shot fade-aways. I don't think he knows how good he could be if he could put it together for a whole game."
No other Perryville player reached double figures.
Sikeston's Lawrence Davis added eight points with four rebounds and six assists.
Sikeston only had five turnovers but had trouble scoring for most of the night.
"We were really standing and we have a tendency to do that against a zone," said Holifield. "We don't get a lot of movement like we should. I thought in the second half we did a much better job. Hopefully we can bounce back Thursday night and play with some intensity against Dexter and put ourselves in a position to compete."
The Dons rallied from a 27-13 first quarter deficit and had a chance to win at the buzzer, but Dale Anderson missed an inside basket as time expired.
Kennett (17-9) led throughout, holding a 37-30 edge at halftime and a 46-43 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Doniphan (11-14) was led by Anderson's 18 points and Danny Kellas with 17 points.
Kennett was led by Dustin Pritchett with 18 and Julius Taylor with 12.
The second-seeded Bearcats had no trouble disposing of Fredericktown in the nightcap.
Dexter (23-3) led 22-8 after one quarter and 47-14 at the half.
The Bearcats drained 10 3-pointers on the night, including five by senior Chad Gill, who finished with a game-high 24 points.
Chris Hyten added 13 points for the Bearcats.
Fredericktown (2-21) was led by Jared Quinton's eight points.

Imagine for a moment… Living the life that deep down inside you knew you were meant to live… living with more confidence, clarity, passion and inner peace.
Imagine what your world would look like from there…
Welcome to Unleash Your Full Potential.
Throughout this lifetime, I have been fascinated with studying the human condition, basically, what makes us tick? Who and what we are? What are the motives for our decisions in life? And how can we transform our lives into a more positive, empowering and fulfilling one? A life worth living!
From this adventure, I would like to share with you the programs that have changed my life and thousands and thousands of others for the better! This work is very dear to me. There is so much that is not taught in school, and our friends and family don't always have the right answers for our life.
Something I realized along the way…
In each and everyone of us, there is an inner voice that calls to us seeking to be known, and either we have the courage to find and follow this inner voice, or, we are like puppets being lead around by the strings of life.
What happens in life is– many people end up living in a "dream like state" developed from years and years of re-enforcement, they can't see outside of "their own box", they are un-consciously re-creating their own suffering, over and over again, and even if they do see it, they can't get out on their own, many lack the know-how and have the "right" type of support.

Stretch in Bind Off Row
I just completed the diamond galore pattern found on this website and noticed the cast on row has significantly more stretch than does the bind off row. If I had four hands and stretched each corner horizontally I would have a trapezoid with the cast on row being longest. I used a long tail cast on and the bind off demonstrated on this website.
Is this normal and/or is there a way to insure equal stretch?
This is normal. There's a couple things you can do.
Sometimes a larger needle helps when doing the bind off. You can also cast on provisionally and bind off both ends so they are the same. It depends on the project whether this is a good way or not.
Or you can just do a different bind off. This one is a good one and makes it nice and stretchy. Don't use a larger needle on this one.

A Must Read - Share
Following 'no change' in policy, we assume we will be treated to a plethora of confidence-building market-implied views of just how great everything is in Europe (apart from fundamentally). Of course, the Q&A is what we want to hear and his involvement in the Monti Paschi debacle, his view on Anglo Irish, his ignorance of currency wars ("I do not talk about currencies"), and just how great the repayment of LTRO funds are (even as European stocks and bonds move into the red for the year)...

Apple's Biggest Bull Unfazed By Bear Market
Wall Street's biggest Apple bull isn't letting a 20% drop tarnish his optimistic views.
Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets, is maintaining his $1,111 price target on Apple despite the fact that the stock trades in bear-market territory – considered a decline of at least 20% from peak to trough.
Apple's stock price would have to more than double from current levels to reach White's estimate.
In a note to clients this morning, White attempts to calm investor worries about what's next for the world's biggest company by market value.

Blues legend BB King opened the season at the MSU Riley Center. Many people in the audience couldn't contain themselves as B.B. King turned out some of the best blues ever heard.
As soon as the season was announced, King's concert immediately became one of the most sought after nights of entertainment, and sold out quickly.
"He's the master. Yeah, he's number one in my book," said Lomax Rosamond.
"He told me to go buy the tickets as soon as they went on sale," said Ruth Ann Rosamond.
"I want to see a legend, anyone who is the greatest, 83 years old and still loves what he does," said Tom Sikes.
And a walk through the pre-show social produced story after story of how these fans came to know BB King's greatness.
"When I was in high school, one of his records was "I'm In Love With You". I had to come and see this man tonight," said Herbert Robinson.
And for Riley Center officials, King's performance is an honor, one of Mississippi's most respected musicians playing in what many consider the gem of the state's theaters.
"I think having BB King at the Riley Center, we have our home legendary Mississippi museum at Mississippi's best performance facility," said Dennis Sankovich.

More example sentences
- His bizarre word rhythm and gleeful disregard for punctuation makes even his most banal utterances sound dramatic.
- So often we are subjected to erroneous and incorrect statements and irresponsible utterances from ignorant and unauthorised sources.
- At times like this, as we grope to express our feelings, we all tend to fall back on the simplest of utterances.
remark, comment, word, expression, statement, observation, declaration, pronouncement;
reflection, thought, opinion
1.1 [mass noun] The action of saying or expressing something aloud: the simple utterance of a few platitudes
More example sentences
- Each and every further utterance of these feeble claims, simply illustrates the ignorance and contempt in which these people view the military.
- It's what every mother dreams of, next to hearing that first utterance of ma-ma and the later cooing of I love you at early ages.

Definition of soon in English:
- Zoe soon arrived and we headed back to Gee's where we sat outside and tried not to sound geeky.
- Go the other way and you will soon arrive on one of the fabulous southern beaches.
- I know of men who are in danger of losing their home if the money doesn't arrive soon.
- At this early stage it is too soon to say whether it has been a good or bad thing to do or what the repercussions of it all might be.
- I kept putting her off, telling her it was too soon and if we bought it too early it would go off.
- Sadly, we have also seen, all too soon, the bitter truth that lives are lost in wars.
- That was one of those race days Id just as soon forget.
- I would as soon die as suffer that.
In standard English, the phrase no sooner is followed by than, as in we had no sooner arrived than we had to leave. This is because sooner is a comparative, and comparatives are followed by than ( earlier than; better than, etc.). It is incorrect to follow no sooner with when rather than than, as in we had no sooner arrived when we had to leave.
no sooner —— than
- Used to convey that the second event mentioned happens immediately after the first: she had no sooner spoken than the telephone rangMore example sentences
- No sooner had they realized that they had made a mistake than the company went bankrupt.
sooner or later
- At some future time; eventually: you'll have to tell him sooner or laterMore example sentences
- Environmental changes in one area of the world eventually affect the rest sooner or later.
- And some day, sooner or later, it will have a leader who acknowledges that fact with pride.
- Marissa glared at him hoping that maybe he'd get the hint sooner or later and finally stop.
- Example sentences
- I'm going to cut over to them soonish, and I want to share my good fortune with you (with apologies to Allan, but I'm sure he'll understand).
- Since the majority (though not by any stretch all) of my friends have either turned 30 in the last few years or are about to soonish, I figured I'd do the same.
- I guess the clocks must be going forward soonish…
Old English sōna 'immediately'.
Over the centuries soon has become less urgent. In Anglo-Saxon times it meant 'immediately, without delay'. A similar case is presently, which also used to mean 'immediately' and now means 'soon'. The same thing is happening today with expressions like directly, just a moment, and in a minute. The idiomatic phrase sooner you than me is recorded from the 15th century; as soon meaning 'rather' dates from the late 16th century; (Irish poet W. B. Yeats Hour-Glass: 'I'd as soon listen to dried peas in a bladder as listen to your thoughts').

Tuesday morning, a child in Woodward fell victim to the inescapable triple dog dare. At the behest of his brother, the kid stuck his tongue to a frozen stop sign pole and basically re-enacted the classic scene from "A Christmas Story." The kid who suggested it even fled the scene, most likely because the bell rang.
As awesome as this story is, it sucks that a little boy got hurt in the process. So Patrick and I thought of some movie inspired news stories we would like to see Oklahomans recreate.
Randy Terrill scores the winning touchdown against the prison guards
I don't know if Randy Terrill has any ability as a football player. Actually, I kind of doubt it. But, if he were able to do this, it would mean he was in prison. As far as I'm concerned, at that point he can have his moment.
Kelly Ogle's "2 Cents"
Tell me you wouldn't enjoy this speech better than a tirade about America going soft because spectators would rather not drop a couple hundred dollars to sit in the snow.
Even though this is not a political blog, the fact that 2010 was an election year gave us plenty of material in that category. With the year winding down, now might be a good time to review just how much happened in the state's political landscape.
The Rise of Emily Virgin
While Democrats in the state were getting slaughtered like Persians at the hands of King Leonidas, at least one Party member became a rising star. In this case, the word "party" is literal. We initially took interest in a little known candidate for state office from Norman because her last name was "Virgin" and, well honestly, we have very juvenile senses of humor. Afterwards, our interest was justified when it turned out her circle of friends had a reciprocal interest in us.
So in 2034, when the girl in the gray dress is chief of staff to Governor Virgin, we can totally brag that she told us to "suck on that."
The Fall of Randy Terrill
Navidad came early for the handful of hispanic people who live in this state and are constantly being harrassed by racist legislation championed by Representative Randy Terrill. While District Attorney David Prater's charges of corruption were not enough to derail Terrill's re-election bid, news came out this week that he would be indicted and that he would be giving himself up to authorities in early 2011. When he gets to prison, which gang do you think he will align with for protection during recreational time? I'm sure White Power Bill has a seat saved for him in the softball bleachers.
During all of this, Terrill has maintained that the charges are a joke. But, as we pointed out back in June, he is going to have to convince a jury not to believe a beloved journalist who beat cancer.
In today's Oklahoman, there is a story about one of Sally Kern's supporters calling her opponent, Brittany Novotny, a confused "It." Here's a snippet:
State Rep. Sally Kern, known for her anti-gay comments, says she regrets one of her supporters called her opponent "" Oklahoma's first openly transgender candidate "" a "confused it."
Charlie Meadows, chairman of the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee, said Monday he won't apologize for using the words to describe Democrat Brittany Novotny, a lawyer from Bethany, who is challenging Kern in the Nov. 2 general election.
"I could have used the word eunuch, but the word 'it' was not intended to be derogatory," Meadows said. "It is simply intended to describe really what she is now."
Asked if he would apologize, Meadows said: "Absolutely not. To people that live in the realm of political correctness someone such as myself who's rather plainspoken probably is always offensive. It was nothing derogatory in my heart or mind toward this individual. I'm just not politically correct; I'm just plainspoken.""¦
Novotny said Kern brought up her personal life when she spoke last month to a "Wake Up America" conference in Oklahoma City by the Bethany-based Southwest Radio Ministries. Novotny called the gathering "a small group of extremists."
During Kern's speech, which mostly was about homosexuality, she brought up Novotny:
"I have a very interesting race, I have an individual who was born a man, has had a sex change operation, and now considers themselves to be a woman," Kern said, according to a transcript of her speech provided by Novotny. "So, if you live in my district and know anyone who does, please get the word out. Because if I say anything about it, it's gonna look like I'm smearing, and I'm not, it's just a fact and they talk about it themselves."
Kern said she made the comments to the group; many were from out of state and only a few were from her House district.
Okay. We know that Sally Kern is a lunatic, so it shouldn't be very surprising that her followers are also lunatics. That being said, we even wrote some offensive things about Novotny in the past "" I think Clark Matthews called her a shemale ""so I can't say I'm surprised that some Kern follower is basically doing the same thing. I mean, Brittany's transgendered status is the 800lb Jim Traber in the room.
I guess the difference between us and them is that although we failed, we were at least trying to be funny. And since we weren't funny, we personally apologized to Novotny, removed those statements from our site, and now treat her like a serious candidate. Hell, we even had her on our radio show on The Spy. Granted, one of the main reasons we had her on the show was to see if she would flirt with Chad (she maybe did) and then to see if that would make Chad uncomfortable (he wasn't), but still, we had her on the show.
That ended up being a good thing. From talking with Brittany, we learned she is actually a pretty bright person. She doesn't base her political views upon the scriptures of a 2,000 year old book. She wants to welcome new businesses and people to Oklahoma (not scare them away). And she wants to move Oklahoma forward, and not take us back to a time of bigotry and prejudice.
Basically, we learned we'd much rather have some like Brittany help create the laws and policies that govern our state than crazy old Sally Kern. But unfortunately, I don't see that happening. Kern could poop on the Governors lawn and she'd still be elected.
Anyway, I do have one question related to all of this. It has to do with the picture that accompanied the article (see above.) What do you think the response would be if you took that picture, showed it to someone from out of state, and then asked "Which one of these ladies is transgendered?" How much do you want to bet that they would say the dude on the left?
Seriously, Sally Kern really does kind of look like a transgendered women. In fact, she looks like a transgendered homosexual woman. I think we call them lesbians. I'm not sure. That means according to her logic, she looks like someone who is a bigger threat to our society than Islamic terrorism. But of course she's not. That would be a stupid thing for anyone to say.
Why is this happening to me? Basically it happened because I'm a conservative Christian who stood on the Bible.
~ Sally Kern (August 7, 2010)
Recently, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart released a heavily edited video that showed Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod supposedly bragging about denying assistance to a white farmer on the basis of race. The controversy cost Sherrod her job, got the African-American woman condemned by the NAACP, and eventually turned out to be completely fabricated when the full video was released.
With this on my mind, I was skeptical when I saw the above video featuring an audio clip of Oklahoma's controvesial representative who made pro-Biblical statements hatefully biggoted statements about homosexuality. I mean, how could a person running for office in the United States of America in this day and age snidely complain about people seeking "freedom and equality for everyone?" Those ellipses had to be omitting some important context, right?
They weren't.
As my service to you gentle reader (TM-Marisa), I listened to every freaking second of the speech the above video was based upon. Then, when I was finished vomiting, I decided to report the highlights so that you could know what she's saying without having to attend a Baptist church that somehow maintains tax-exempt status.
