CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - The Morehead State softball team split a pair of Ohio Valley Conference games at Southeast Missouri, 7-6 and 5-4, on Sunday at the SE Softball Complex.
The split moves the Eagles to 6-11 in league action and 20-19 overall, while the Redhawks now sit at 6-13 in conference play and 14-27 overall.
In game one, senior Kayla Ashbrook and junior McKenna Bartko each homered and drove in a pair, while seniors Adrena Anderson, Anna Sommer and Sam Woodall had two hits apiece.
The teams combined for four runs off six hits in the first inning. Ashbrook hit a two-run shot over the left-field fence that accounted for the Eagles' runs, while the Skyhawks used an RBI-single from senior Taylor Cowan and RBI-double from senior Simone Patterson to get on the board.
SEMO knocked in the go-ahead run on a single from junior Alexis Anderson and Eagle fielding error, and extended the lead on a bases loaded walk in the second. The Redhawks added two runs in the fifth on a pair of singles to left field.
The seventh-inning MSU rally started when Bartko hit her first Eagle home run, and seniors Amber Riddle and Elizabeth Wagner plated a run each. Sommer connected on what proved to be the game-winner in the frame with a single to left.
Junior Kelcey McMurray (4-6) earned the win in two innings of relief. She held the Redhawks to one hit over the final two frames. Senior Katie Pfost was tagged with five earned runs and 11 hits in the outing.
Freshman Hannah Clemons suffered the loss for SEMO to fall to 5-5 on the season.
In game two, the Redhawks used a four-run first inning, which included a pair of singles from senior Xia Wilson and freshman Chelsea Smith, to earn the victory.
Riddle was able to take one back from SEMO as she scored on a passed ball in the second, but SEMO made up for the run in the bottom of the inning when sophomore Lindsey Patterson stole home.
The Eagles closed out the scoring for the day on a single from sophomore Katie Raile in the sixth and two-run single from Sommer in the seventh.
Riddle went 3-for-4 to lead the Eagles, while Anderson, Wagner and Raile added two hits apiece.
McMurray (4-7) suffered the loss in the circle, allowing three earned runs on seven hits. Pfost racked up two innings of relief and allowed only one hit. Patterson picked up the win in the circle to move to 3-2 in 2013.
The Eagles are back in action on Wednesday at University Field when they host OVC opponent Tennessee Tech. The doubleheader is a make-up from a three-game series that was originally scheduled for March 16 and 17. First pitch is slated for 2 p.m. ET.

Winter knits may be most tried and tested way to ward against dropping temperatures, but this year, they became a trend in and of themselves. On Marc Jacobs' Fall/Winter 2012 runway, thick and crafty knits were given a Dickensian twist when layered alongside large-than-life fur hats. On the other end of the spectrum, knits were given a graphic treatment at 3.1 Phillip Lim, when shown in black and white under crisp leather jackets. Chloé, Anna Sui and Chanel also showed knits varying in thickness, texture, colour and style, proving that they were more popular than ever.
For this week's Style Panel, we challenged the ladies to a little winter knit shake-up. To Vogue or Bust's Alexandra Grant showcased winter knits in form of another of the season's biggest trends: oversized. Curvy Geekery's Mo Handahu infused her look with a little burst of sunshine, by wearing her cropped knits in one of the most beautifully saturated hues of turquoise.
New panellists, Inherited Jeans' Stephanie Koch and One Chic Mom's Iva Grbesic show off winter knits in both dressed up and dressed down ways. Grbesic brings a new perspective to the Style Panel, as she is our first panellist in her 30s places importance on dressing chicly while taking care of her children.

Dean Foods Most Underrated in S&P 500 Pre-IPO: Corporate Finance
No debt issuer in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index is more deserving of a credit upgrade than dairy processor Dean Foods Co., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The cash flow, debt and market value of the largest U.S. milk processor indicate a 0.23 percent chance it will miss debt payments in the coming year, about 10 times lower than the 2.5 percent implied by credit ratings, Bloomberg data show. The company is rated Ba3 by Moody's Investors Service and B+, one level lower, at Standard & Poor's.
The planned initial public stock offering of as much as 20 percent of WhiteWave Foods Co., which makes Silk soy milk, would raise about $300 million that Dean Foods could use to pay down debt, which totaled $3.6 billion on June 30. Company bonds have gained 3.7 percent since the IPO announcement last month.
"It's a very smart move because they're able to raise cash without increasing risk to the balance sheet," said Vicki Bryan, an analyst at research firm Gimme Credit LLC in New York, "They've got a long way to go to repair the balance sheet, so the best thing they can do right now, instead of borrowing money, is to sell stock and they're just selling a piece."
Dean Foods's $500 million of 7 percent bonds due June 2016 have risen 3.75 cents since the Aug. 7 sale announcement to 107.5 cents on the dollar to yield 4.77 percent, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Risk Declines
Credit default swaps insuring against missed debt payments by Dean Foods have declined 167 basis points since the announcement to 423.6 at 11:26 a.m. in New York, the lowest level since April 2010, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by McGraw-Hill Cos. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
Jamaison Schuler, a Dean Foods spokesman, said the company couldn't comment on its finances because securities regulations restrict it from discussing the matter prior to the IPO.
The company's default risk implies the lowest level of investment grade, equivalent to a Baa3 Moody's rating and BBB-from S&P, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Bloomberg's default-risk analysis uses the ratio of a company's debt to market capitalization to calculate its odds of failure, similar to the predictive model created by Robert Merton, the Nobel Prize-winning economist at MIT's Sloan School of Management.
Debt Reduction
Dean Foods will own at least 80 percent of WhiteWave's common stock after the IPO, distributing its remaining interest in the company to its shareholders, according to an Aug. 7 statement. Proceeds from the offering, as well as $800 million to $925 million that will be borrowed under a new credit facility at WhiteWave, will be used to reduce Dean Foods's outstanding debt.
The company reported net income of $56 million in the second quarter from a net loss of $51 million a year earlier, the Dallas-based company said Aug. 7. Operating profit increased 30 percent in the first half of 2012 due in part to a 20 percent drop in raw milks costs, according to Kenneth Shea, a food and beverage analyst at Bloomberg Industries in Skillman, New Jersey.
Dean Foods's leverage ratio, or debt divided by earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization, of 4.36 times in the three months ended June 30 is down from 5.35 a year ago and at the lowest level in three years, data compiled by Bloomberg show. If the IPO closes this year, the company expects that ratio to decline to 3.5.
'Liquid Asset'
Dean's total leverage on March 31 was 4.41 times, the company reported in a May 9 regulatory filing. Total leverage under Dean's current loan agreement must not exceed 5.5 times, according to the company. The threshold steps down next year to 5.25 times at March 31 and to 4.5 times at Sept. 30.
The planned IPO may bring in as much as $500 million, more than the company's $300 million estimate, Amit Sharma, a New York-based analyst for BMO Capital Markets who has a hold rating on the shares, said in a telephone interview yesterday. Dean may sell more of its stake in WhiteWave to raise more cash, he said.
"If there is a hiccup on the dairy side, they have this highly liquid asset that can be used to repay debt," he said.
Almond Milk
The company has benefited from the growth in higher-margin products such as coffee creamers and almond milk from WhiteWave, Gimme Credit's Bryan said. The Fresh Dairy Direct unit that includes the company's main fluid milk business made up 74 percent of sales in 2011, and 54 percent of operating income. While WhiteWave made up 16 percent of sales, it accounted for 31 percent of operating income, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"We've got the worst drought in 70 years affecting soy, plus affecting the dairy markets with higher feed costs and lower supplies," Bryan said in a telephone interview, "And they're actually holding their own."
Most-active futures of corn, one of the main feed crops for dairy cows, rose to a record $8.49 a bushel in Chicago on Aug. 10 as a drought in the Midwest reduced grain and pasture yields. Most active milk futures declined in the first half of 2012. The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast on Sept. 12 that milk prices will rise in 2012 after cutting its production forecast from a month earlier.
The immediate gains of paying down debt may not compensate for losing the profit stability that WhiteWave had provided, said Wen Li, an analyst at debt researcher CreditSights Inc. Dean's earnings will become more volatile as it becomes more tied to commodity prices.
'Successful Test'
"It's a very challenging industry once you take away WhiteWave. Their portfolio is going to be much, much weaker going forward after the spinoff," Li said in a telephone interview from New York.
The earliest the two companies will separate is in the middle of 2013, Li said. The two biggest rating companies have not revised the company gradings since the IPO announcement. Moody's put the company on review for downgrade on Aug. 8, while S&P changed its outlook to positive on Aug. 10.
"Your strategy is best tested when it's under stress, and they've certainly had a successful test this year," Bryan said.

Since the onset of
the global financial crisis in late 2007, there has been an increasing
number of papers and articles in financial journals and the popular
financial press pointing out that actively
managed investments of all types did not fare well relative to
passive investment strategies. In this article, American Century
Investments provides four fundamental
reasons why those who have forecast the demise of active investment
management are mistaken, in part due to one of the most common
errors of behavioral finance-the Recency
Effect (placing undue emphasis on the recent past to form future
expectations). We thank them for their sponsorship.
At the end of the 3rd quarter, the S&P 500® Index posted its strongest back-to-back quarterly performance since

The recent global recession has made the efficacy of fiscal-stimulus
packages one of the most prominent policy debates in economics today. This
column finds that the multiplier of defence spending falls in a range of
0.6 to 0.8 and argues that non-defence multipliers are unlikely to be
larger. It says we should be sceptical when policymakers claim
government-spending multipliers in excess of one and suggests tax cuts may
be preferable to spending increases.
"Design and Effectiveness of
Fiscal-stimulus Programmes" by Robert Barro and Charles Redlick
The mess this country finds itself in was not caused by bankers, or greed,
or a collapse of the capitalist system. It's been caused by not allowing
the free market system to work. A 10-12 year wave of misplaced government
policies and Fed interventions are the root cause of the problems we face
today. These policies and interventions created a massive mis-allocation of
capital and resources for more than a decade in an effort to cater to large
public corporations and other political factions through fiscal and
monetary policy and banking disintermediation.

"Knit your ribs together and pull down." Would this feel great?
There are generic cues that you hear over and over. We need to modernize our cueing and imagery that will really enhance function. This cue is a poor solution for hyperextended ribs. I see so many dancers overexergerating this cue that they have made their ribcage rigid to not be able to use their arms and back correctly and expressively. One of the most beautiful lines is the arabesque or attitude. Pulling the ribs down will change this line. We need to come up with cues and training that will enhance the line and improve function.
As teachers, we need to look deeper why there is poor function. Why are the ribs hyperextended?
- Tight structures such as back muscles and iliopsoas.
- Are the ribs in response to poor grounding of the feet and hyperextended legs?
- Is the neuromuscular system going first to the back muscles firing in shortness?
Knitting the ribs together is not a dynamic cue. It does not solve the problem and can create other problems in different level changes. Why don't we go deeper in our cueing?
- Put your attention to your spine and give support for the entire spine.
- If your ribs are hyperextending, visualize the hyperextended section has support to bring that section back to neutral.
- If you are doing footwork in Pilates, stop in the middle of the movement when the ribs start hyperextending.
- Relax the back muscles and imprint the thoracic spine back to neutral. Continue footwork.
Understanding the function of the spine and legs can make huge differences. When the facets of the spine are evenly spaced for neutral and move equally extension or flexion, there is an invitation away from compression. Hyperextension is usually at one section of the spine.
When the legs are hyperextended, important muscles for stability are kicked out. Improving function of the legs will enhance the placement of the spine.
Remember: When you see a problem, look above or below. The problem is usually an organization around a poor function.

Linden Hills & Fulton Neighborhoods of Minneapolis
The Linden Hills and Fulton neighborhoods are two of the best locations to live in all the Twin Cities. Aside from only being minutes away from both downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, the area sits in close proximity to the international airport and the Mall of America – and because the neighborhood is on the west side of the metro, it's only a short drive to the scenic Lake Minnetonka. And on that note, the area itself has plenty of outdoor space that feels anything but urban.
Near the Linden Hills and Fulton neighborhoods sit plenty of bodies of water worth spending time around – Minnehaha Creek, Lake Calhoun, Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles and Lake Harriet are all in close proximity. These options are a godsend for anyone who appreciates the outdoors, loves a good beach or water activities.
Minnehaha Creek is one can't miss spot in the area, flowing 22 miles east through many Minneapolis suburbs. The creek flows into the gorgeous Minnehaha Falls, a huge attraction in the Minneapolis area. The 53-foot high waterfall is a beautiful escape for the urban life that surrounds the area.
There are also many fantastic parks in the area. Residents can chose from Utley Park, York Park, Arden Park, Wooddale Park, Pamela Park, and more. Minneapolis is an ever-growing city,...

If I have to go to the store today, I'm almost for sure going to the Fiesta at San Jacinto and Wheeler.
I want to say hello to Mary Bell Balls.
She's 89, she sacks groceries, and she does her job with such affection and good humor that everybody who meets her loves her.
I'm not joking about that, either.
Here's what her boss, store manager Henry Anderson, has to say: "Miss Mary's everything. She's the sweetest person you would ever want to meet,, and she's the mother of this store."
So, here on this fifth day of September and Labor Day, here's a tip of the hat to Mary Bell Balls. And older workers everywhere.

Congrats on the win. We expect this to be a regular occurrence in 2014. And by the way, that iliac limited edition shirt is a keeper.
Looks like Ryo's starting off 2014 very simple, but as expected, he's right on trend with the horizontal stripes.
Speaking of on trend. While he might not be known for what he wears, Dufner's definitely high up on the list of players who have STYLE.
Benji certainly has a different stride than Stevie. And are those the new FootJoy DNA's on Adam? I bet they are as he keeps raving about how comfortable they are.
Check mate.
Take a close look at those Under Armour shoes; they're prototypes. They look pretty techy, and Jordan feels they're solid. Expect to see both him and the shoes on a weekly basis.
Still in stripes. While he may not be a surfer, Damon Green's at the very top of the list of tour caddies (people, too). If they're waiting for Zach's career to take off, FYI, it already has.
Russell Henley, also on trend, as expected. And nice touch with the brown belt, complimenting the pants without worrying about it matching.
Leishman shows a nice touch with the gray trousers and matching accent on the shirt.
I expect we'll be seeing a lot more of both Sang-Moon and Original Penguin this year. Looks like he's off to a great start.
Do not change your dial, that is the noted University of Hartford ex-hockey player Jerry Kelly with a pretty stylish look. And he's getting away with the dark belt because it looks like he's in really great shape.
Miyazato looks terrific with this combination. I know you're all expecting me to get upset about the white belt, but I think the stylish shirt and trousers trump that.
You know the story by now.

'Delocated': Jon Glaser Breaks Down Scramble-Voice Acting
During our recent interview with Jon Glaser about his new humor book, "My Dead Dad Was in ZZ Top," we asked the writer and actor how he does the voice on his show, "Delocated." The Adult Swim series is about a reality TV star who's also in the witness protection program, necessitating that he wear a ski mask and have his voice scrambled — which adds a layer of humor to everything.
"A lot of the stuff ends up being funnier when we put the voice on it," Glaser said. "It's pretty awesome. But it doesn't effect the humor. We make sure we're writing stuff that feels funny anyway." Glaser said the voice scrambler is added in post-production, and the actors have to be aware not to talk over one another during scenes. "Thankfully, it's been pretty smooth in the edit as far as placing the filter on the voice," Glaser said. "Before we shoot scenes we just remind everybody."

Centre says it won't reduce age of juvenile offenders
The government said only a small percent of crimes are committed by juveniles.
New Delhi: The Centre has said that it will not reduce the age of juveniles involved in crimes even in the rarest of rare cases. This came amidst outrage over the sixth accused in the Delhi gangrape case getting away with lesser punishment.
Those below 18 will continue to be legally viewed as juveniles as defined by the Juvenile Justice Act. Minister of State for Women and Child Development Krishna Tirath told this to the Rajya Sabha. There were calls to reduce the legal age after the Delhi gangrape incident where one of the perpetrators was a juvenile.
But the government said only a small percent of crimes are committed by juveniles and the legal age cannot be reduced across the board.
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home has decided against lowering the age of juveniles below 18 years of age despite suggestions by several members. This came as the Home Ministry said the Women and Child Development Ministry was examining the matter.
Some members also opposed a recommendation on the issue saying without consulting experts, the panel should not rush to conclusions.

Sharks coach John Plumtree subscribes to the policy of rotation during the course of the marathon Super 15 competition but round three is too early to be resting players and he named an unchanged match 22 for the visit to the Southern Kings on Sunday.
The starting 15 that beat the Stormers in Durban last week is retained en masse and there are no changes to the bench.
"That 22 plus backline players Riaan Viljoen and Marius Joubert is pretty much it for us because we are carrying long-term injuries," Plumtree said. "Hopefully we can stay injury free until the guys that are out are ready to come back and we can swap the battle-weary for the newly rehabilitated."
The Sharks are missing hooker Bismarck du Plessis, prop Dale Chadwick, five-eighths/centre Butch James, centre Tim Whitehead and loose forwards Willem Alberts and Keegan Daniel.
After this week's third consecutive SA derby, the Sharks host Aussie teams in the Brumbies and the Rebels and then have a bye week.
The unchanged team means that Plumtree has settled on Cobus Reinach as his first-choice halfback. For the third week in a row, Charl McLeod is the halfback cover on the bench as the coach looks to build consistency between his No 9 and five-eighths Patrick Lambie.
If the unbeaten Sharks beat the Kings and get past the two visiting Australian teams, they will be well set up entering their bye week.
"In theory it looks great, but it could all unravel in front of our eyes if we don't maintain our standards and make sure we are up for every game, and put in 80-minute performances each week," Plumtree said. "There are no easy games in Super Rugby, they are all generally pretty tight and we're expecting another tough one this weekend."
In saying that, the Sharks are clearly focused on what they have to do and are putting a big emphasis on improving, particularly on attack and scoring tries.
'It is about high standards and maintaining them," Plumtree said. "The team is mature, it's been together for a while - we have a few babies in there but generally the core of the team is intact.
"We've had some experiences in the past where we've dropped our guard and haven't played very well and that's cost us, but we don't want to dwell on that. We want to focus on maintaining the standards we've set for ourselves because ... your standards are your lifeblood."

Amanda Knox and her Italian boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito did four years of jail time as their brutally long trial for the alleged murder in 2007 of their roommate Meredith Kercher dragged on in Italy.
We all followed that excruciating trial which was even more dramatic than the O. J. Simpson murder trial of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. Simpson was acquitted in the criminal trial but convicted in a civil trial.
Both Knox and her friend were released from jail in 2011 after their conviction was overturned on appeal and they were released from jail.
This week the highest court in Italy ordered a new trial!
As we followed the original investigation of the murder by police there were allegations that police had contaminated the crime scene. There was also criticism of the prosecution, which was seemed to be using the trial to build up their reputation and fame. The circus like atmosphere and the fact that in Italy there is no bail so you do prison time even if you are eventually found innocent, was shocking to many and reminiscent of the "justice" system in dictatorships or many third world countries.
Cynics are saying that the Italians may be recharging the defendants because there is fear that they will be filing a lawsuit against the Italians for the imprisonment and for destroying their reputation.
Whatever the case may be some are pointing out that the Italian justice system deeply suffers from the fact that it is, well how can I put this, in Italy!
Consider the fact that the Italian government such as it is, is not the world's most responsible. In terms of the economy Italy is not far behind Greece as a real financial problem within the Euro Zone Running he deficits and lagging badly in tax collection Italy is a daily worry to the stability of the European economies. The only reason it's off the front pages at the moment is that Cyprus, that tiny offshore banking disaster of a country has sucked the oxygen from the bad news about Europe. Italy's "…public finances are still in a dire state and ordinary Italians are suffering" as the Australian put it.
Italy just had an election, which no one won. Two of the "winners" were former P
rime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and comedian-turned-politician Beppo Grillo. The leader of Germany's main opposition party the Social Democrats, Peer Steinbrueck, called them "clowns" and "populists" whose strong election performance could "endanger the euro zone." Mr. Berlusconi is he said, is "definitely a clown with a special testosterone boo
The prestigious magazine The Economist had a cover with Berlusconi with the headline " The Man Who Screwed an Entire Country" (see cover photo) Yikes how harsh.
More recently The Economist had a cover with both Berlusconi and Grillo titled "Send in The Clowns." This cover was sensational and essentially ridiculed both.
You may be interested in knowing that the president of Italy has just asked leftist and former Communist leader Pier Luigi Bersani who's party had a very slight lead after the election to try to form a government. In Italy as in other parliamentary systems a new government would need a majority in both houses of Parliament. Bersani needs 35 senators from other political parties who have seats in the Senate to support him as Prime Minister.
So my point is with Italy essentially once again in total disarray, would YOU trust the Italian courts? I'm guessing that Amanda Knox will not return to Italy and that the United States will not extradite her. Maybe you have an extra bed or couch for poor Raffaele Sollecito who lives in It
aly and will no doubt have a knock at his door around midnight by the Italian police so he can finish his 25 years of jail.
I personally love Italy and Italians. I have spent
many years traveling in that wonderful country since I was 14 when my parents schlepped me along. I even had an audience with a Pope at Castel Gandolfo. He blessed a small silver medal we brought along. But, if YOU are going to Italy I would suggest you avoid their courts or any contact with government agents at any cost.
Post Scrip. The Italian President has still not been able to glue together a new government: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/italian-politics-shaken-up-by-new-legislators/2013/03/24/f09b3768-922b-11e2-bdea-e32ad90da239_story.html

To the Editor:—
During a recent visit to Suriname and while conducting a survey on the blood groups of the Bush Negroes, we visited a Bush Negro village of about 100 people. The village was about 100 miles up the Suriname River. A young woman came into the clearing where we had been working carrying a baby boy who I found out, through my interpreter, was about 3 months of age. The woman did not know her own age, but I surmise she was in her middle 20's. I was impressed by the fact that each breast possessed symmetrically paired nipples, in very close proximity and with a common areola as shown in the photograph, which was taken by Dr. C. F. A. Bruyning. Each nipple functioned actively. Further questioning of this woman gave very little information other than this was her second child, the first one having died shortly

|Needle Notes:
Double Your Pleasure with Double-Pointed Needles
Go to the DPN Buyer's Guide
Go to the DPN Tutorial
Many people are intimidated by the concept of using double-pointed needles, since it requires coordination of not two but four (and even five) separate needles. The truth is, once you get the hang of them, DPNs are extremely easy and useful tools.
Why Go for DPNs?
Double-pointed needles, or DPNs, are for knitting small circular objects such as socks, hats, and even sweater sleeves. Using DPNs, you can complete the full project -- including the most drastic decreases and increases -- without having to change needles.
With circular needles, you're limited by the length of the nylon cord between the two needles. Even the smallest circulars won't let you decrease beyond a certain number of stitches, while DPNs will.
(The one exception to this is when you use the needles from two separate circulars to complete the narrow points of your project, but you still have to introduce new needles in the process.)
Your Options
You'll find DPNs in birch, ebony, rosewood, bamboo, coated aluminum, plastic, and casein. There's a reason why you won't find ultra-smooth Addi Turbo-like DPNs.
You need a certain amount of surface friction on your needles to place drag on the yarn and keep stitches secure.
Standard lengths range from 9 to 3 1/2 inches. If you like the feel of full-length needles in your hands, you can use the standard longer needles for even the smallest circular projects.
If you like to be more compact, try the new 5" DPNs from Brittany. Unless you're making extremely wide socks, these needles will hold all of your stitches comfortably and eliminate the extra few unnecessary inches you get in the 7" needles.
Test Before You Buy
A word of warning about any DPNs shorter than 5". If possible, try holding two needles in your hands and making sure they feel comfortable.
Depending on how large your hand is and the way in which you hold your needles, these ultra-short needles may poke into your palm. I had this problem with a pair of 3 1/2" ebony DPNs and eventually had to abandon them or face blisters.
Potential Pitfalls
There are only a few potential drawbacks to DPNs, most of which can be easily overcome with a little practice. The trickiest part is getting started, since you'll need to coordinate all your cast-on stitches on multiple needles.
For easy, step-by-step instructions on how to get started, read Getting Started on DPNs.
Avoiding Lousy Ladders
If you knit all your stitches at a consistent tension, you may end up with "ladders" of loose stitches at the juncture of each DPN. These ladders will run the entire length of your work. If you're knitting socks, you can end up with a ladder of stitches along the entire foot of the sock -- not good aesthetically or structurally.
Ladders happen because the gap between each needle loosens the stitches around it. To compensate for this, simply knit the last and first stitch on each needle more tightly. This may sound like a hassle, but once you get the hang of it you'll find yourself tightening stitches without even thinking about it.
Another way to avoid ladders is to migrate stitches from one needle to another every few rows. This works best once you've finished with any increases or decreases. Otherwise, you may be confused by the varying number of stitches on each needle.
Limited Expansion Possibilities
Although DPNs give you infinite decrease possibilities, the same is not true for increases. DPNs can only hold so many stitches before they start to crowd the needles and slide off the ends.
The most common example of this is when using DPNs to knit seamless sweater sleeves (one of my favorite practices). As you make your sleeve increases, you'll discover that the first and last needles get overcrowded.
To keep from running out of needle space, simply transfer a few stitches from each needle onto the middle needle.
E-Z Storage
Unlike their fussy circular cousins, DPNs are easy to store. I'd even go so far as to say they're a pleasure to store, especially the 5" ones.
You can carry around a full range of sizes in any standard zip-up pen case. To separate each pair, you can use a simple rubber band. If you plan to store them for any period of time undisturbed, however, be sure to use a coated rubber band (like the ones used for pony tails). Otherwise the rubber can deteriorate and damage the needles.
Parting Wisdom
And now, a final piece of advice: DPNs usually come in sets of five. Most people only use four of the five needles, leaving the fifth one tucked away at home somewhere.
Carry this fifth needle with your project wherever you go. You never know when you'll drop a needle, leave one in a hotel room by mistake, or snap one in half during a long flight. I've done all three of these things and lived to regret it.
Getting Started
Knowing the fundamentals of DPNs is one thing, but how will this help you when you get to a shop and have a whole selection to choose from? To help you out, we've compiled a list of the most popular DPNs on the market.
This list is by no means exhaustive, so don't fret if your favorite needle type isn't on the list. Just let me know and I'll add it!

"Thanks for the DPN tutorial. I've always been intimidated by the thought of the stitches slipping off. However, I've been yearning to try my hand at socks. So I bought some DPNs and gave it a try with DK weight yarn. I don't know why I was so intimidated! It was a breeze to knit in the round. I find I can knit faster this way. I think from now on, I'm going to stick with DPNs and circulars. I take the train to work everyday and the DPNs & circulars don't bump the other passengers like straight needles do. You've got a DPN convert here :-)" sopranokris, 10/5/01
"I made my second pair of mittens, for my husband on size 8 dpn using two strands of yarn, and loved doing them.I did my first pair of socks last winter and being able to work with dpn made knitting the socks much easier." laberriebinger, 7/2/01
"This is for "saguaroaz" who said that DPNs were driving her crazy falling out all the time. Sounds like she knits loosely, which must produce wonderful fabric! She should keep some small rubber bands handy, and wrap them around the ends of the needles before she sets down her work. If they are falling out while she's working, maybe she needs to try to knit more tightly... lol..." joygetha, 5/10/01
"DPNs are about to defeat me! I can start OK, but can't seem to keep them in the yarn. One slips out, gets under the chair or in the cushions and I have to get up and hunt for it. I have Brittany Birches and now caseins, they said they wouldn't fall so easily. Well, define easily, folks! I still have to chase them. Any suggestions?" saguaroaz, 4/27/01
"I love to knit socks and other small projects like hats, so I have used DPN for awhile. (I am a fairly new knitter.) Moving the stitches around on the needles helps to avoid ladders and stitch markers help to keep your place. I have a friend who always uses 5 DPN and tells me that helps to avoid ladders, but I haven't tried that yet." jf01, 4/27/01
"I like using the sets of 5 as sets of 5 -- knitting with 4 needles and using the 5th, this helps me avoid ladders, since there is less of an angle between needles. Also, if I want to move stitches from one needle to another, I can often slip or knit directly to my heart's desire, something that would be impossible when using only 4 needles." tsgala, 4/26/01
"My tip on avoiding ladders between the needles is to use all five needles instead of four. This means that you are knitting round a rectangle rather than a triangle, and the wider angle means the end stitches get less stretched - so no more ladders. I also find using five needles makes it easier on my hands." Elizabeth D., 4/26/01

We have had a swap box program going for many months and we'd like to invite some new participation. If you are not aware of this it may be because the thread for the swap box is on a forum that requires at least 1 post to be able to view it. So if you've never posted here before this may be a good reason to introduce yourself.
The swap box is a box of hair toys and tools that each swapper adds to using items they no longer need, can't use, or have extra of. When the box arrives you take a few items that you like and you replace them with the items you wish to contribute and then send to the next person.
To those with access the thread is here

I wandered here from the Long Hair Loom. SWAP BOX! I like to make hairsticks and sometimes I've got some to get rid of. The colors don't match what I usually wear. I don't know why I went crazy painting too many sticks the wrong color or what have you.
Anyway, been growing my hair at least 10 years.

I do that... making hairsticks I won't wear. It's kinda' fun to explore the color and bead combinations.
I've been lucky that I know someone who volunteers at a local school. When they have their fund-raising carnival, I donate some hairsticks. The little girls always love them.

I don't know if we have a box going around right now. We were attempting to get a second box going but many of the regulars got busy with other things.

First: The Gorge is the greatest place on the face of the earth to see a show ... the only thing that anyone can knock about the Gorge is the walk from campgrounds to the venue. Boo hooo. It's a small price to pay for the greatest venue ever. I used to work at Red Rocks and I love it there, but the camping puts the Gorge over the top.
Second: If you are at any stage as a Phan and have not listened to the Rock 'n Roll-->Meatstick-->BORW please do so now. The end of the second set prevents this from being the best show of 3.0, but the aforementioned sequence is not only in my opinion the best of this era, it can go toe to toe with the best from any era. Even at a Phish show I have never soaked in music like I did listening to that jam on the lawn. Good lawd
Those are my belated thoughts. Great weekend. Great band. Great people. And I have to give a shout out to the disco dance party and fire spinners next to us in the campgrounds. Somehow you guys were going the whole time and kept us going the second night. Good work.

In any case the ship which arrived later has the right to notify the other through the competent local authority that within twenty-four hours it will leave the port, the one first entering, however, having the right to depart within that time.

Denarius Moore wasted no time Thursday night in showing a small but vocal crowd at O.co Coliseum what all the fuss was about in the Raiders' preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
The most pleasant surprise in the first dozen practices of training camp, Moore took the field for the first time on the last play of the first quarter, a false start by Khalif Barnes.
On the first play of second quarter, quarterback Jason Campbell found Moore breaking free against cornerback A.J. Jefferson on a crossing route for a 26-yard gain and a first down at the Arizona 36-yard line.
Moore later caught a 2-yard pass on a quick screen left and converted a first down with a 9-yard completion from Kyle Boller on a drive that ended in a 25-yard field goal by Sebastian Janikowski, his second of the half.
A fifth-round draft pick out of Tennessee, Moore has been the standout Oakland receiver since camp opened.
Pro Bowl receiver Larry Fitzgerald immediately hauled in a 43-yard pass from Kevin Kolb down the left sideline, a play in which Van Dyke actually had good coverage.
A short time later, Beanie Wells broke a high tackle attempt by Van Dyke running to his left and gained 15 yards.
With 25 seconds left in the half, quarterback John Skelton found Stephen Williams in the middle of the end zone with Van Dyke trailing the play, giving Arizona a 7-6 lead.
Three times, Bresnahan sent defensive backs on blitzes, each time forcing starting Arizona quarterbacks into incomplete passes.
The first came from free safety Michael Huff on the second play of the game. Huff came free and forced Kolb to unload.
In the second quarter, with the second-string defense in the game and Arizona backed up at the 17, Bresnahan called for blitzes by safety Jerome Boyd and cornerback Jeremy Ware on consecutive plays, both against quarterback John Skelton.
The first came on third-and-7 from the Oakland 43. Later, with the Raiders at the Arizona 36, Barnes jumped again. When Schilens was dumped for a loss on a reverse, Janikowski came out for 52-yard field goal attempt.
Janikowski never got to kick, because Barnes jumped for a third time, with coach Hue Jackson sending out Shane Lechler to punt rather than attempt a 57-yard field goal.
Kolb was 4-for-7 for 68 yards, 43 of them coming on the pass to Fitzgerald, before giving way to Skelton.

ALBANY -- The fourth annual Albany FilmFest (www.albanyfilmfest.org) will be held at the Community Center, 1249 Marin Ave., on March 1. The festival, which features short films made by both local and not-so-local filmmakers, will include a Q&A and a presentation by employees from Emeryville-based animation giant Pixar Studios.
"It is bigger and better this year," said festival representative Naomi Sigal. "But it's still small and cute."
The Pixar personnel will show "The Blue Umbrella," a short that ran in theaters with the studio's feature "Monsters University" in 2013. They will also explain the process to create a short, from storyboard to finished product. A progression reel will also be shown.
Editor Jason Hudak, effects supervisor Michael O'Brien (both Albany residents) and sound designer and editor Barney Jones will do the 75-minute presentation around 1 p.m.
An old editing bench is scheduled to be loaned out from the Pixar Museum, showing how editing was done before computers.
The festival will begin at noon with an hour of shorts directed at younger children. The Pixar presentation follows. The rest of the festival (2:15 to 7 p.m.) will have content intended for older children and adults, rather than younger children.
"The teen films are about teen concerns," Sigal said, while the documentaries cover topics for older viewers on a range of subjects.
Along with documentaries, the shorts include documentaries, mockumentaries, dramas, comedies and animation. Specific times are still being finalized. Among the films scheduled to screen are, "Train Wreck to Narnia: Life On the Road with Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children Macnuggits," "Cooking with Venus," and "Valentin Popov's Face."
"Train Wreck to Narnia" is about the semilegendary band out of Pinole, Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children Macnuggits, the hardest working comedy band you've never heard of.
"Cooking with Venus" is about an interplanetary chef sharing her secrets to conquering a deadly recipe. "Valentin Popov's Face," was made in Oakland about the local portrait artist of the same name.
Judges for this year's festival are editor, producer, and director Gina Leibrecht; director and Albany High School alum Waylon Bacon; and director and Albany High School alum Ari Sigal.
Tickets are $5 for adults, $1 for children and $8 for a family pass. They can be purchased at the California Bank & Trust, 1451 Solano Ave. or at the Mechanics Bank branches at 801 San Pablo Ave. in Albany and 1801 Solano Ave. in Berkeley. They will also be available at the door.
The night before the festival, a gala will be held at the Community Center, 1249 Marin Ave., featuring food and beverages from local restaurants as well as a jazz duo performing. Cost for the gala is $25 and tickets may also be purchased at the locations listed above.
A trivia contest is being held in conjunction with the festival. Storefronts on Solano Avenue that display posters for the festival have a trivia question next to the poster. Answering the question enters you in a raffle that will be held during the event.
Contest prizes include gift cards from local businesses, as well as film-related prizes such as movie tickets, books and a membership at the local YMCA.

Speak of the Devil
These days, Jeffery Deaver is best known for the popular series of suspense novels (The Bone Collector, The Coffin Dancer, The Empty Chair) featuring quadriplegic forensic genius Lincoln Rhyme. But Deaver has also written a number of excellent stand-alone novels during the course of his career, including Praying for Sleep and -- my own personal favorite -- A Maiden's Grave. His latest, Speaking in Tongues, is another effective independent novel that offers an unpredictable, furiously paced story of murder, madness, and the limitless power of language.
Two figures, each blessed with uncommon powers of persuasion, dominate the narrative. The first is Tate Collier, a lawyer and gentleman farmer whose oratorical abilities once made him the most successful prosecuting attorney in Fairfax County, Virginia. The second is Aaron Matthews, a powerfully seductive former therapist whose tragic past -- and long-standing history of mental instability -- lead him to devise a complex scenario whose ultimate goal is the destruction of Tate Collier.
By the time the novel opens, Tate's once charmed life has drifted sharply off center. He is divorced, no longer practices criminal law, and has grown increasingly estranged from his troubled teenage daughter, Megan McCall, who has developed more than her share of emotional and psychological problems. The story begins when Aaron, posing as a "substitute" therapist, kidnaps Megan and hides her away in the crumbling, gothic ruins of a deserted mental institution in the Blue Ridge mountains. In the aftermath of that kidnapping, Tate, together with his former wife, embarks on a desperate quest to locate his daughter and to understand the origins of an apparently pointless crime.
Speaking in Tongues contains an oddly engaging combination of elements. On the surface, it is an unabashed thriller filled with unexpected plot reversals and narrative sleight-of-hand. Beneath that surface, it is an extended meditation on the art of manipulation and on language as the most potent -- and versatile -- of weapons.
In essence, Speaking in Tongues recounts a series of elaborate seductions, beginning with Megan's kidnapping and ending with a fatal confrontation between two master manipulators with radically different agendas. It isn't, by any means, a perfect novel -- the prose occasionally seems hasty, and a number of incidents stretch credibility past the breaking point -- but it's original, provocative, and a great deal of fun. At the very least, it should keep Deaver's many readers happy until the next Lincoln Rhyme adventure comes along.

Banerjee said that she had no objection over the debate in the Parliament over the 2G spectrum controversy.

We were always with the Prime Minister, we are with the Prime Minister and we will be with the Prime Minister," Mamata Banerjee told reporters here today.

I am thrilled with the Thundershirt! I have a very hyper Golden that is constantly panting and he is deathly afraid of fireworks. We have had to medicate him for several yrs. with doggie xanax just to help soothe him. We gave him 4 within 5 hrs and he was still trembling. I got the Thundershirt several weeks ago and have been gradually introducing him to it. He is like a different dog! Used it during a thunderstorm and he laid down and went to sleep after putting the TS on him. Thank You!!! My JoJO thanks you. No more drugs!

Greatest thing I have ever bought for my dog. She's afraid of thunder and fire works.I put this on her and she immediately calmly lies down at my feet. A big YES,if you're thinking of ordering!

My dog is terrified of thunderstorms and fireworks. She trembles, pants heavily and gets a terrified look in her eyes and holds her ears back. We have tried many things and the Thunder Shirt has changed everything. We have used it multiple times since recent purchase and the results are amazing. She is noticeably calmer and my only regret is that I didn't buy this sooner. Try it and know that if it doesn't work for your pet you can donate to your local animal shelter. Our dog is picky about wearing anything but she wears her thunder shirt and it's been a complete transformation from her first time wearing it during a storm. It was worth the money for the calm that it has provided our dog. It also seems to help her with her separation anxiety issues. Amazing product.

One of our dogs is extremely frightened of thunder and fireworks. She LOVES her Thundershirt! Her litter mate wants us to put his on as well. It definitely helps.

Maybe you can get some help here
If it's not possible you could try Twinkey. Works really well.
I own a netBook with English layout and have configured it to a Swedish.

A first-team selection for the third consecutive year, Correa averaged 20.6 points despite missing five games after suffering a broken bone in his right hand against Mount Pleasant on Dec. 21. His best performance occurred on Jan. 25 when he scored 40 points, 28 in the second half, in leading the Saints to a 68-66 upset of North Kingstown. �He's a great point guard. He did everything we wanted. He shoots the three. He makes foul shots. He's a great distributor,� coach Tom Sorrentine said. Correa is looking at junior college or prep school.
