Ray Arnold took the last drag of his cigarette and stubbed it out quickly in the nearby ashtray, exhaling a thin cone of smoke over the monitor in front of him. He leaned back in his chair as the smoke dissipated into the ether, and watched the large red swirling mass on the screen in front of him move a few millimetres further down, over the green island. Their island. He had told Malcolm that this storm would be a bad one, and was expecting a call to evacuate any minute now. Which was a shame. He didn't want to miss the wet n' wild dinosaur strip feast.
A few right clicks of his mouse later, and Ray had eight park CCTV displays lined up on the screen in front of him. As the rain lashed down over the park he saw a soaked triceratops brushing up against a tree. He was immediately hard. As his burning erection tightened his pants, he started to regret wearing crotch less briefs, even if it was crotch less Thursday. Ray looked around the office, deserted by all except that slob Dennis Nedry, who was hidden behind his filthy desk. The desire to relieve himself started to ache within Ray, as he looked back at the screen to see the triceratops had started to eat some shrubbery at the foot of the tree. Wind and rain lashed the beast's shapely skin, caressing its shimmering scales in a glorious display of the herbivore's hot highlights. A tiny drop of spittle fell from Ray's mouth.
At the other end of the office, amidst the Pepsi cans and crisp packets, Nedry gazed at the stolen embryos on his desk, totally enraptured by the tiny unborn sex monsters. He was rocking a raging semi-on.
Almost without realising it, Ray had unzipped his trousers. Reaching down, he took his pulsing dinosaur devastator firmly in hand and, lustful eyes dancing across the erotic show in front of him, began to viciously choke his raptor raper with a furious passion. As the triceratops chewed leaves with a bored expression on it's face, Ray revelled in the beast's soaking sexiness, imaging how he would love to conduct his own reptile relations. Then, just as he was reaching the final strokes, Ray saw a Dilophosaurus in another screen extending it's neck flaps, ready to spit it's poison at something off screen.
Over on Nedry's desk, he was ensuring any dinosaurs bred from the stolen embryos would forever bare his likeness.
Moments after the Dilophosaurus has fired off it's poison, Ray saluted it by rocketing his own fluid attack all over his work screen. He sighed, a mixture of contention and ambivalence. Now there was an entirely different swirling mass to deal with.

Am I the only one this happens to? Before a run, I always make sure to use the bathroom. Then, along the way, usually in the middle of nowhere, I have the overwhelming urge to use the bathroom. If I just had to pee, I'd find a bush, but this is far worse! Without grahipc details, I've gotten into embarrassing situations because of this problem. I've tried everything, and it's a hit or miss solution. I run about 3-4 days a week for a total to 25-30 miles, depending where I am in my training schedule. Any help, suggestions, remedies or just someone who understands would be very much appreciated!
Despite the lack of replies so far, I think everybody who frequents the Med Tent is sympathetic about your situation, and many have had this problem at one time or another. I know I have. The difference might be whether it is ongoing, so to speak.
Assuming you are otherwise "regular," it could have something to do with your schedule and how you stage your meals the day before. If you run every other day, for example, and run early in the day at the same time you have breakfast on your off-days, the breakfast 24 hours before may be what is finding its way out. If you are skipping breakfast, it may be the previous day's dinner delayed until the jostling of your run wakes up your bowels.
If the above paragraph sounds familiar, the cure could be to stage the timing of your meals so that they are not 24 hours before your run. If they are hours earlier or later, they are less likely to be finding the same time slot for their grand exit, which is the way it works in most people. I use this method before marathons or important races, to make sure all that training time and effort are not, umm.. flushed down the toilet. Also, the components of these 24 hour meals should be wholesome enough to digest on a regular schedule, i.e. containing enough fiber and natural sugars to enhance the fermentation and breakdown of your meal.
Some people also have coffee or caffeine before their runs, and it is important to know that the diuretic effect of stimulants can cause the bowels to move, as well as force the urge to urinate. If you like having coffee before your run as many do, try drinking it an hour earlier.
You will probably get a lot of advice for using drugs like immodium, etc. to interfere with the digestive process long enough to get through your run. Likewise you may get advice for using laxatives the night before, to clean everything out on the first pass. While these things may work temporarily, you do not want to develop a dependence on chemicals to delay your natural digestive cycle, because this is not healthy for your intestines - it just forces your body to adjust to your schedule. It is better for you to adjust your schedule to the timing of your body, including any of the lifestyle changes I mentioned that can facilitate this.
I have found that awareness of scheduling healthy natural meals with a minimum of processed, sterile foods gets my body into a predictable rhythm that I can plan my runs around, without any unplanned ""runs" to worry about - barring any illness, of course. Another trick I use to stay on schedule is taking a commonly available magnesium tablet before bed. Any of this vital mineral your body does not need will be voided by morning, along with whatever else is waiting for departure. This way I insure adequate magnesium levels for muscular health, along with guaranteed regularity.
A good probiotic like acidophilus can also help to insure proper digestive timing, but avoid intake of high levels of calcium, which has the opposite effect of magnesium and will constipate you (some mineral supplements balance these two minerals to counteract this effect). Timing of things like antacids and anti-gas medicine can also be a factor. Gas from the fermentation process is what aids intestinal peristalsis during bowel movements, so suppressing gas, though socially acceptable, has a down side. Better to insure timely breakdown of food through use of healthy intestinal flora like probiotics, and natural enzymes that break down food before excess gas is produced. Some people have trouble producing enough digestive enzymes or stomach acid, and need a little help in this department. Once again good nutrition is the best long-term strategy, because the popularity of anti-gas, acid-blocking medicines and other chemical interventions has interfered with timely digestion in many people.
I know this sounds like a lecture, but there are a lot of environmental hazards in the average lifestyle these days that make healthy bowel movements and regularity in many of us nearly impossible. With enough initial care and effort, you can counteract that trend in your own life, make lasting changes in your body functions, and get back on track, literally.
To summarize, look into your scheduling of meals versus your runs the next day, and allow your body a few days to adjust. Look into the components of your meals and other things you may be taking to insure that everything is working together to improve dependable regularity. Despite the odds in the modern lifestyle, I am sure you can beat this problem as many others have. Good luck and good health!

Hu, CM, Li, XF, Pichel, WG, Muller-Karger, FE (2009). Detection of natural oil slicks in the NW Gulf of Mexico using MODIS imagery. GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS, 36, L01604.
AbstractWe demonstrate the unique capability of the MODIS instruments in detecting oil slicks in an open ocean environment. On 13 May 2006, in the NW Gulf of Mexico where water depth ranges from 50 to 2500 m, one 250-m resolution MODIS image showed at least 164 surface slicks under sun glint ( glint reflectance, L-g, ranged between 0.0001 and 0.06 sr(-1)). After discounting other possible causes, we believe these are the result of natural seeps. Our analysis showed total coverage of similar to 1900 km(2), with individual slicks varying in surface area (11.7 +/- 14.8 km(2)) and length (19.2 +/- 12.4 km). Concurrent SAR imagery showed similar area estimates to within 30%. This estimate, based on a single image, is higher than earlier estimates from a database of multi-date SAR images for the same region. Inspection of > 200 images for the month of May between 2000 and 2008 revealed similar slicks on at least 50 images. On 2 June 2005, slicks were detected under sun glint with both negative contrast (L-g < 0.05 sr(-1)) and positive contrast (L-g > 0.05 sr(-1)). These slicks could not be detected in glint-free MODIS images collected on the same day. Because of the near-daily revisit and wide sun glint coverage ( e. g., > 800 km E-W between March and October at 25 degrees N), systematic and global application of the MODIS 250-m imagery can help locate natural seeps and improve estimates of seepage rates in the world's ocean.

SANTA ANA, Calif.—A jury has recommended the death penalty for a man who raped and stabbed to death a pregnant Orange County newlywed nearly a quarter-century ago.
City News Service says the recommendation came Thursday for Jason Balcom, who was convicted in March of murder with special circumstances. Balcom, who's 42, will be sentenced in June.
Authorities say he attacked 22-year-old Malinda Gibbons in her Costa Mesa apartment in July 1988. She was bound, gagged, raped and sodomized. Her husband found her body when he returned from work.
Balcom previously was sentenced for raping a woman in Santa Ana days after Gibbons was killed and for raping a woman a month later in Battle Creek, Mich.
DNA testing linked him to Gibbons' death in 2004.

A new exhibit at the University of San Diego offers a fascinating look at the portrait as an art form from the 16th century to the present and as a vehicle for fame and power throughout history.
"The Famous Face: Portraiture in Prints from Durer to Warhol" is a collection of more than 50 prints of some of history's most famous figures ranging from Father Juniper Serra and Pocahontas to Mao Tse Tung, John F. Kennedy and Isadora Duncan by artists including Albrecht Durer and Andy Warhol. Other artists featured in the exhibit include Paul Cezanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Pablo Picasso.
The exhibit marks the opening of the Robert and Karen Hoehn Family Galleries in Founders Hall at USD. A generous gift from the Hoehn family has created an endowment to support the current and future exhibits and renovate two USD galleries.
The public is invited to an opening night lecture Thursday, March 1 by Malcolm Warner, guest curator for the exhibit and senior curator at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas. The lecture is at 5 p.m. in USD's Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice. A dedication of the new galleries in USD's Founders Hall and a reception follows the talk. There is no charge for the events.
"No form of art enters more into the workings of society than portraiture," says Warner. "Portraits celebrate and commemorate, flatter and promote; they create the image of a person in the eyes of the world and can be powerful propaganda."
The 57 prints, some of which are rarely seen in public, are on loan to the university from the San Diego Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, University of California, Los Angeles. The exhibition includes engravings, etchings, lithographs and screen prints. In connection with the exhibit, the university is sponsoring a portrait competition for USD students. Winning portraits will be on view near the art department in Camino Hall.
Robert Hoehn, chair of the university's board of trustees, and his family, have previously given the university major works including Francisco Goya's "Disasters of War," Georges Rouault's "Miserere" and Jacques Callot's "Miseries of War" in addition to a stunning collection of Rembrandt etchings and several 20th century prints. All of these works will soon be available for viewing in the Hoehn Print Study Room in Founders Hall, adjacent to the galleries.
"The university is pleased to dedicate the Robert and Karen Hoehn Family Galleries and the Hoehn Print Study Room in honor of the remarkable commitment, generosity and vision of Robert Hoehn for whom we are extremely grateful," says USD President Mary E. Lyons.
Regular hours for the exhibit begin Friday, March 2 and will be noon to 4:30 p.m., Wednesdays through Sundays and noon to 6 p.m., Thursdays. Admission is free. The exhibit will be closed on school holidays. For more information call (619) 260-4261. Visit www.sandiego.edu.
The University of San Diego is a Catholic institution of higher learning chartered in 1949; the school enrolls approximately 7,500 students and is known for its commitment to teaching, the liberal arts, the formation of values and community service. The establishment of the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies will bring the University's total number of schools and colleges to six. Other academic divisions include the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Business Administration, Leadership and Education Sciences, Law, and Nursing and Health Science.

For many students, the summer means working, visiting with friends and taking advantage of the nice weather, but it is also notorious for being synonymous with boredom. The students here at the Chapman Learning Commons want to change that. Sure, you want to unwind after a stressful year and that's okay, but instead of wasting your day on Facebook or mindlessly watching a movie, why not add to your repertoire of skills and learn something new?
This could mean picking up a new sport, finally learning to play that instrument you've always wanted to try, or maybe it means traveling to a different country to experience a rich culture in which you can get swept up in. Whatever your case may be, we want this summer to be productive for you, so we've scoured the internet and wracked out brains to help you come back to school in September a more interesting person.
Try these out:
- Lifehacker has some suggestions of things to fill your weekends with
- Learn a language – or at least a few important words
- Attend one of the many cultural or music festivals happening in the city
- Volunteer to be a research subject – lots of the research that takes place on campus happens during the summer!
- Go on a walking tour of your own city and become a history buff about your town
- Learn how to chop like a chef – watch some youtube videos on knife skills, or better yet, teach yourself how to actually cook!

By CLIFF ABBOTT
The Trucker Staff
GRAPEVINE, Texas — From 1990 to 2002, the Cowboys were a better team with Emmitt Smith in the lineup.
Adding the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee to the lineup at the Truckload Carriers Association convention at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, Texas, wasn't a bad idea either.
After an introduction by Pilot Flying J Executive Vice President Mark Hazelwood, the NFL's rushing record holder (18,355 yards) took the stage to an enthusiastic reception to talk about "A Championship Vision: Winning, Discipline, Leadership."
Smith quickly admitted that he has no experience with trucking, but pointed out that the traits that made him a successful football player were applicable to far more than sports. He credited his father with providing some sage advice at an early age. "Life is gonna deal you some things that you'll have to overcome," the senior Smith counseled. Those words came just after a 7-year old Emmitt announced he would play for the Cowboys one day.
Smith credits his high school coach, Dwight Thomas, with more advice, including the time-worn, "don't put all of your eggs in one basket." Thomas told the young running back that the day would come, sooner or later, when football wouldn't be there, and that he must have a vision for the next phase of his life.
And so, the lessons he learned in the football world, such as "strive to be the best you can be" and "personal sacrifices are sometimes necessary to achieve goals," have proven true in other areas as Smith began his life after football.
After hanging up his spikes in 2004, Smith teamed with retired Cowboy Quarterback Roger Staubach to form a real estate and development company. He also founded ESmith Legacy, a commercial development and investment management firm based in Baltimore. He and wife Pat teamed up to form Pat and Emmitt Smith Charities to provide assistance to underserved children.
If these successful ventures weren't enough, there's Smith's short career as an analyst for ESPN. Then, there's the dancing. After turning down invitations to appear on the show for two years, Smith finally agreed to appear on "Dancing with the Stars" in the show's third season. He spoke of his decision to join the show and his pre-agreement discussion with his wife, who was somewhat skeptical.
"Some of my best coaches have also been my toughest coaches," he said, including coach and dance partner Cheryl Burke. He described practice as "grueling," but also explained how he and Cheryl won the 2006 championship.
As his motivational comments came to a close, Smith attributed a quote to famous Alabama football coach Bear Bryant, saying, "the price of victory is high, but so are the rewards." Whether he's talking football, charity work, real estate or dancing, the vision never changes. "Be the best you can be," he repeated.
During the question and answer period which followed, several in the crowd asked about his toughest game, what it was like playing in the Super Bowl and other football related questions. One question, however, brought the audience to silence. "What advice do I give my son?" a father asked, describing how a football injury had ended any chance at a sports career.
"Eliminate the word 'fear' from your vocabulary, Smith told him. "Replace it with the word 'challenge. When you do that," he continued, "then you can think in terms of overcoming the challenge rather than being afraid," said the man who is still overcoming challenges.

The median price for a new or resale single-family house or condominium in the Bay Area last month was $612,000 $4,000 less than in November but $3,000 more, or 0.5 percent higher, than in December 2005.
Some 7,488 homes changed hands in December, or almost 20 percent less than the 9,347 homes sold in December 2005. However, there was a slight uptick in sales from November, when 7,204 homes changed hands. Sales have now declined on a year-to-year basis for 21 straight months.The slowdown is taking its toll on some homeowners.
The number of homes in some stage of foreclosure in December continued to rise in the Bay Area compared with a year ago due to a slowing market and rising interest rates on adjustable-rate mortgages, according to a separate report released Wednesday by RealtyTrac.com, an online foreclosure marketplace. The majority of the foreclosure proceedings involved homeowners who fell several months behind in payments.
In Alameda County, 720 homes were in foreclosure, almost four times the number of a year ago. In Contra Costa County, 461 homes were in foreclosure, or three times the number from a year ago. In San Joaquin County, 460 homes were in foreclosure, more than three times the number from a year ago, the report said.
Even without rising foreclosure rates, the number of homes for sale has been increasing. That's because buyers are in no rush to buy and many sellers are still pricing their homes as if they were still in the red-hot market of a couple years ago, observers said.
Earl Rozran, a Realtor with the Pleasanton office of Prudential California Realty, said some properties in the East Bay have been on the market for six months.
"Some sellers have refused to make any price concessions at all," he said. "Yet they are surprised when there is very little showing activity or offers."
Still, homes that are priced right are selling, he said.
"Clearly, the market is in a lull while potential buyers wait for lower prices. Because of seasonal factors, prices may edge down during the next two months, but are likely to move up again in spring," said Marshall Prentice, DataQuick president. "An important factor is whether or not mortgage interest rates stay where they are. If they do, we should expect the market to pick up in March or April."
An outlook released this week by the Mortgage Bankers Association calls for low mortgage rates to hold steady, with fixed mortgage rates expected to rise to about 6.5 percent by the end of 2007.
Last week, average rates on a fixed 30-year mortgage stood at 6.21 percent while rates on a one-year adjustable-rate mortgage were 5.44 percent, according to mortgage giant Freddie Mac.
Despite the double-digit slowdown in sales, prices are holding steady for now. In the Bay Area, December median prices rose in five counties, compared with a year earlier, led by San Francisco with a 3.6 percent gain. Alameda County's median price rose 1.7 percent. Median prices fell in four counties, ranging from 0.2 percent in Contra Costa to 6.3 percent in Sonoma.
"Prices remain relatively sticky. They have not fallen." said Chris Thornberg, a principal with Beacon Economics. A strong non-housing economy that helps fuel consumer spending is behind their holding power along with a reluctance by sellers to drop prices, he said.
"People are loathe to realize a loss," he said.
However, Thornberg expects prices will start falling slightly on a year-to-year basis as early as spring in response to a softening economy.
"Even then, I don't expect prices to plunge. There will be a moderate decline over a couple years ... a few percentage points even in the worst-case scenario," he said.
Rising foreclosure rates could put more homes on the market for sale at discounted prices by lenders that take back homes, which could help fuel an overall decline in home prices, Thornberg said.
"The extent to which this is a problem remains to be seen," he said.

I worked in the Lowndes laboratory from January 2003 – September 2007 as a post-doctoral researcher. Prior to this, I had performed a PhD in developmental biology (with Dr. Lucy Byrnes and Dr. Maura Grealy) so moving into the DNA damage response field was quite a change. My work in Noel's group was funded by the Health Research Board and it involved analysing the role of 53Bp1 in the DNA damage response in the model system, DT40. We used these cells as we were able to take advantantage of the fact that they have an increased frequency of gene targeting. This allowed us to target specific gene loci to generate gene knock-outs. Noel's group employs a broad array of cell biology, biochemical and molecular approaches to investigate the DNA damage response. I was very fortunate to work on a protein that is believed to be the true homolog of the budding yeast Rad9, named 53Bp1. It was initially discovered in 1994 and in the past few years has been shown to be involved in the DNA damage response. More recently, a role in the repair pathway, non-homologous end joining, has been discovered for 53Bp1. Our work looked at the role of the protein in cell cycle checkpoints after DNA damage, in addition to DNA repair. Reflecting on my time in the lab, I consider myself exteremely fortunate to have worked on worked in this field of science and also to have interacted with some very talented researchers.
During my post-doc, I also witnessed the foundation and expansion of the Genome Stability Cluster. The cluster now comprises seven separate labs (with two more set to join shortly!) working under the same research theme. The presence of the cluster allows frequent interactions with members of other laboratories in addition to getting advice from other principal investigators. I also enjoyed this aspect as you get to have many friends from other labs as well as your own.

text: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit The Eighth Year Studio: Universal Studios Home Entertainment Year: 2006-2007 US Rating: Not Rated Film Length: 15hours 34 Minutes Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Audio: English Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English SDH & Spanish US Release Date: February 17, 2009 Review Date: February 7, 2009 The Show - out of "In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories."" The Show Dick Wolf's Law & Order franchise has three distinct branches. They each have a familiar tone, begin with variations of the recognizable Mike Post theme and contain the sonic gavel sound to punctuate time and place. His franchise is a veritable goldmine of stories that trap into the world of criminals, their victims and those entrusted to serve, protect and prosecute through stories that, from week to week, are ripped from the headlines and drummed up in active writer's room. The original Law & Order is now in its 19th year and offshoot Criminal Intent is still delivering absorbing tales from the criminal perspective, but it is Special Victims Unit that has experienced a wealth of acclaim and dramatic excellence. Its eighth season is clearly among its finest and is filled with terrific plots and well told stories. The split episode format of the original show which begins with the police investigation and finishes with the nuances of the trial is absent in this spin-off, but the brisk storytelling and often fearless tightrope tension that the show drums up with ease is here in full force. SVU as it is referred to tackles the trying and difficult subject of sex based crimes as the Special Victims Unit of New York City's 16th precinct Police Department pursue perverted and evil offenders. And here, more than any other in the Law & Order franchise, the personal lives of the detectives are woven into the series also, which adds another dramatic layer. The episodes are some of the most potent and powerful on television, and not just because of the deeply dramatic nature of the series. It captures the victim's mindset and the empathy of the officers with vivid and accomplished strokes and while it isn't a perfect show, it certainly is an earnest drama. It is a serious minded police procedural which reveals the worst of humanity and some of the best of humanity, with all its flaws, intent on doing what it can. This season has Detective Benson reassigned in the intense opening episode, which sees Marcia Gay Harden guest as and F.B.I Agent, and has Det. Stabler working with a new partner, Det. Beck played by Connie Neilson. While Connie Neilson only guests for a select few episodes, she brings a different dynamic to the show without changing the nature of the cast dynamic. This season boasts terrific episodes and the tension and tight storytelling remain on point throughout. The acting is also among the best on television, recognized by Primetime Emmy Award nominations for show leads Chris Meloni and Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe winner Mariska Hartigay. Meloni, portraying Det. Elliot Stabler and Hartigay, incredible as Det. Olivia Benson, are in many ways the life blood of the series, with performances of range and passion – they deal with scenes that are dark, really dark – filled with rape, incest, violence, brutality and torture, but they remain focused and inspired. Hartigay in particular demonstrates some of the very best acting on television. While her character's persistence and dedication (with blinders on at times) would have long landed her off the force in reality, it gives us a compelling and emotionally damaged soul that really is the heart of the entire show. With the largest overall cast of the Law & Order franchise, it holds some fine talent. Excellent on the originating series, Dan Florek as Captain Don Cragen is staunch, serious and just soft enough at the right time to give his detectives leeway when 'right' calls for it. Ice-T as Det,Odafin "Fin" Tutuola, Richard Belzer as Sgt. John Munch, Diane Neal as Casey Novak, B.D. Wong as Dr. George Huang and Tamara Tunie as Dr. Melinda Warner are very good and are given some solid moments this season to shine. This season's guest stars include Robert Vaughan, Ludacris, Steven Webber, Nancy Grace and Star Jones. Those familiar with all Law & Order series will also recognize familiar faces from the other shows as the actors playing bad guys and supporting characters show up in different roles. The Episodes Disc One 1: Informed 2: Clock 3: Recall 4: Uncle Disc Two 5: Confrontation 6: Infiltrated 7: Underbelly 8: Cage 9: Choreographed Disc Three 10: Scheherezade 11: Burned 12: Outsider 13: Loophole 14: Dependent Disc Four 15: Haystack 16: Philadelphia 17: Sin 18: Responsible Disc Five 19: Florida 20: Annihilated 21: Pretend 22: Screwed The Video - out of Universal Studios Home Entertainment brings Law & Order: SVU's eighth season to DVD in its HD broadcast ratio of 1.78:1 and enhanced for widescreen televisions, something I wish they would do for all seasons of my personal favorite, Criminal Intent. Despite some questionable releases, Universal actually delivers a quality video presentation here– clearly demonstrating support and respect for its now flagship Law & Order series. Plenty of night scenes mean lots of shadows, limited light sources and opportunities for bleeding black levels and murkiness. There is some noise in the image, something I find often with Universal releases, but the shows balance of colors (limited), dark and light contrasts and flesh tones comes through well. Overall this presentation is very good. The Sound - out of This dialogue heavy show relies on the center channel and there are no issues here. Not much use of the surrounds except when Mike Post's dramatic strings accompany revelations of terrible crimes or the cracking of suspect's defensive veneer. The signature gavel sound has a little kick to it, but the most the surrounds and bass are used are in the opening credit sequence. The Extra's - No Stars out of No Extras No Stars Final Thoughts Certainly the most dramatically intense of the Law & Order franchise, Special Victims Unit is terrific television. Difficult and daring stories told with solid writing and fine acting helps set this series apart. Even in its eighth year, if remains extremely engaging and an easy show to recommend to anyone that enjoys quality drama. Overall Score - out of Neil Middlemiss Kernersville, NC

Jewett and Sherbrook Share Hannah Howard Prize
- 05-28-2013
- By Craig E Wells
The College of Arts and Sciences Dean's office is pleased to announce that this year there was a tie for the Hannah Howard Prize and the recipients were Georgia Jewett and Evan M. Sherbrook. The Hannah Howard Prize is awarded to an undergraduate senior(s) who has achieved the highest grade point average in the college while enrolled on a full-time basis.
Ms. Jewett came to the University of Vermont after working at the King's Academy in Jordan, a co-educational boarding school established by King Abdallah II to recreate in his homeland his own experience at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts. Ms. Jewett, a proud graduate of Deerfield, helped to inculcate the Deerfield tradition at the King's Academy. She then spent her first year as an undergraduate at the American University of Beirut, where she began her liberal arts curriculum and studied Arabic.
In her three years at UVM, Ms. Jewett has constructed an enviable record. She was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and also won the highest award given by the Political Science Department, the Elliott Brown Award. She wrote a very good college honors thesis on the use of foreign aid in the American relationship with Egypt in the 1950's and 1960's.
Ms. Jewett has been accepted into the very competitive Teach for America program and will be teaching in South Carolina beginning in the fall.
Evan Sherbrook is a native Vermonter who graduated from Lyndon Institute, an independent high school and boarding school located in the village of Lyndon Center, in the town of Lyndon, Vermont. In Evan's sophomore year at UVM, he took organic chemistry, the field that deals with carbon-based molecules of life and is the basis of all of our drugs. Although he was excited about chemistry before, Evan could not stop talking about organic chemistry. Evan received the Chemistry Department's sophomore award for excellence in the study of organic chemistry. He also received the department's third-year Merck Index award and the fourth-year award, the American Chemical Society Green Mountain Section Award, for outstanding performance both in academic study and in research.
Evan has taken a range of courses at UVM, and as evidenced by the Hannah Howard Prize, he has excelled in all. However, his love and enthusiasm for chemistry rises above all. Not only has he completed the undergraduate curriculum coursework, but he has also finished most of the coursework that graduate students take in chemistry. Evan also did research in organic chemistry during the academic year as well as during the summer. His research advisor, Professor Stephen Waters, commented that, compared to other students, Evan displayed an uncommonly strong discipline, personal motivation, and drive for both research and academic studies.
Evan will continue to pursue a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin for his graduate studies in organic chemistry this fall.

The current bulletin contains information items dealing with early childhood education, teaching Hebrew, teacher education and developing Jewish identity of Israelis living abroad as well as reports on conferences and research findings gleaned from journals, blogs and social media sources.
Rabbi Yuval Cherlow (Hebrew wiki) thinks there is a need for developing greater sensitivity to the new social and economic issues not legislated by halakhah by turning to ethical literature (mussar) and non-legal rabbinic literature (aggadah). Under these new conditions, "social sensitivities become more significant… If we can only build on this sensitivity, we can create a more just world."…
But as Neil Netanel's new book, From Maimonides to Microsoft: The Jewish Law of Copyright Since the Birth of Print, relays, the Microsoft ruling comes after centuries of rigorous rabbinical thinking about print, property, and the role of halakhah itself.

I'm flat-out exhausted, writing these words -- happily so, after listening my way through a couple dozen shows over the course of three days at the 24th annual San Jose Jazz Festival. As the festival moves toward next year's quarter-century anniversary, San Jose Jazz is an organization in transition, dealing with the crummy economy (and the festival's lack of a major sponsor), yet showing real commitment to jazz in many of its shape-shifting forms. This festival had range, from the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to the Cookers' hard bop and the hip-hop flavors of bassist Derrick Hodge.
Having criticized the festival in recent years for its lack of focus -- and lack of jazz -- I'm glad to write that previous sentence. This summer's festival (Aug. 9-11) included much deep programming and a creative approach to finding new revenue. It introduced separate-pay concerts at several indoor venues -- "extra" shows, not covered by the festival's daily charge -- and that turned out to be a good idea. Instead of filing in and out of those events at midstream (as often happens at festivals, where people sample this and that), folks tended to pay and stay, to focus and listen. It made the music better.
Here's my day-by-day take on the festival's best moments.
7 p.m.: I walked into the Blackbird Tavern's cozy music space, one of the festival's new venues. It was jammed, the crowd tilted toward youthful, and the music had a warm-swaying world-music vibe. This was the Gypsy All-Stars project, featuring members of the popular Gipsy Kings (George and Mario Reyes) in a new pop fusion: rumba flamenca meets North India, from whence the Roma people emerged long ago. It got trippy; first time I've heard looped tablas.
8 p.m.: Run, run, run to Cafe Stritch, down the block on South First Street. This is where the weekend's most inspired music happened; technically it was not part of the festival, but it felt like an extension of the event. What was so special? Trombonist Steve Turre led a sextet in a three-night tribute to his old employer, the late great Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and the results were magical. It was almost like partying with Rahsaan at Keystone Korner or the Village Vanguard 40 years ago: "Serenade to a Cuckoo," "Bright Moments," "Theme for the Eulipions." Blues and jubilation.
9 p.m.: The Clifford Brown-Max Roach Project: A labor of love, featuring trumpeter Scotty Barnholt in the Brownie role and drummer Clayton Cameron in Roach's shoes, performing classic numbers by a classic '50s quintet. Again at the Blackbird, which buzzed like a real jazz club.
12 p.m.: Super-power-surge hip-hop multi-groove music at the San Jose Rep by genius drummer Dafnis Prieto and his Proverb Trio with Jason Lindner on keyboards and rhythm-rhymes by emcee Kokayi Issa. All spontaneously improvised and mightily impressive -- but a barrage, too much for noontime. My caffeine had yet to kick in.
2 p.m.: The Rebirth Brass Band performed under sunny skies on the Main Stage in Cesar Chavez Plaza. These guys can cook even when they're dialing it in, which I suspect they were doing. Still, much fun: "Exactly Like You," "I Found a New Baby" and the rumba-boogie of Professor Longhair's "Mardi Gras in New Orleans."
4 p.m.: Arturo O'Farrill and his Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra turned in the festival's most cogent set thus far, again on the Main Stage. No feel-good pep talks for the crowd, just music, ambitious and suitelike with feed-the-fire percussionists and excellent soloists. And power: This band is like a train -- that dances.
6 p.m.: Oh, man, Dr. Lonnie Smith's music is like a seductive dance, and he knows where it's going. What an improviser: His B-3 organ solos feel so natural, emerging as the musical equivalents to sentences and paragraphs; it really is as if he's talking to you, laughing, teasing. A great show at the Rep with his superb trio, featuring guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg and drummer Jamire Williams, Smith's grandson.
9 p.m.: Saxophonist Yos- vany Terry performed with his hard-hitting quartet at the Blackbird Tavern. First, it felt like maze music, an advanced meeting of Afro-Cuban and jazz concepts, rhythmically and harmonically rigorous and a little daunting. But gradually, it opened up; it became grounding and hypnotic, like ritual, like much of the best jazz since the '60s. When a samba emerged toward the set's close, it was like a party and a blessing, both. Obed Calvaire on drums!
2 p.m.: After all these decades, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is a reproduction, a nostalgia trip, cashing in on memories of where it all began. Correct? No! These guys were hot, having fun, and they got the crowd up on its feet. And what a crack-up: I bet the band's big, dancing tuba player could fill a hot-air balloon with his breaths.
4 p.m.: Derrick Hodge. He put his electric bass front and center, like a horn, practically crooning melody at Blackbird Tavern. His band's version of Joe Henderson's "Black Narcissus," sounded as beautiful as ever -- but was set to a luxuriously stretchy hip-hop beat led by drummer Mark Colenburg. When Hodge played a solo suite of tunes on his bass, starting with George Harrison's "Something," it flowed like a series of etudes, and the crowd was rapt, totally silent.
9 p.m.: The Cookers. This hard-bop septet plays go-to-the-mountaintop music: the thunder of tenor saxophonist Billy Harper and drummer Billy Hart, the lightning of trumpeter Eddie Henderson and pianist George Cables. You hear Blakey, Coltrane, the blues: soul music, played by some of the best players of the '60s and '70s. They finished their set at Blackbird Tavern by going to "The Core" -- the name of the tune by Freddie Hubbard, and a fit way to close out the festival.

I also think you're creating a false division based on how you want to segment what you see as two approaches. While I think there are differences in approach,
I wouldn't categorize or align them as you did
- even while I agree in tactical application you are showing the differences of someone with a connected body taking someone's center while masking their own - versus someone leaving theirs open. I do not believe anyone is advocating leaving their center open - and my experiences with the approach you are decrying are that nobody gives up their center for the taking except in drills to give someone a dumb force to react to. (just like every other legitimate place I've seen practice)
You still haven't categorized or aligned...anything!! much less defined your distinction of the differences, Budd. Give me something to cause me pause. You haven't as yet offered anything by way of rebuttal.
I said "....It is important to realize that you can affect and take someone's center, without ever attaching yourself to theirs or revealing yours."
You replied "....nobody gives up their center for the taking except in drills...
You are not making any clear distinctions, worth discussing, that produce a benefit other than repeating it might or might not be a needed step. Whereas I have outlined why it is not needed as a step.
I will assume you know you can apply weight and force without giving your center to someone, that you can manipulate their force without giving them access to your center. You seem to understand and agree to this in your replies.So, it begs the question, since you agree this can be done, why any need to "connect" to their center at all?
Do you think you "need" to connect to someones canter to throw them? That's not even necessary in external arts, much less internal. Consider their own connection -to themselves- in the equation of forces meeting. If they are muscling through a movement, and they encounter a person who is internally connected, the connected person can let the muscle guys power pull on themselves and get placed, or arrive at a place they can't manage due to the way they carry themselves. In kata it has one result, in jujutsu it will just cause a series of positional changes to take place until one has an advantage. This is what I meant by opportunistic and predatory. In the end though, the lessor connected person ends up being reactionary as the neutralizing of forces inside the connected person carries through to the outside "on contact" in such a way that it is consistently instant and in the now by default. Empty hand or weapons no matter.
To touch a hand or arm of a connected person is a different event than touching the arm of muscle/shoulder/hip driven person. The first step in managing those forces is to manage forces in you that support any contact point and dissolve the forces so they have no entry point. Hence no need to connect to their center at all. If they are not connected they can be bounced, re-directed and hit, kicked or thrown, or re-positioned. If they are connected the game can continue.
In any event, "connecting" to their center, or having their forces go through you to connect to them is unnecessary for kuzushi to occur or be created.
Thinking an internal strength drill means you can fight is stupid. Thinking because you can perform a choreographed kata means you can fight is stupid. Thinking your internal strength conditioning can be applied easily in a fight without having some progressive resistance training to give you a clue is stupid. None of these things are being argued for as near as I can tell, so please stop presenting them as if I am in favor of them.
They were examples of practicality in use... only for talking points. I know you enough to know you understand the practical fighting game, so I was talking ...to you.... not down to you...on shared end-use goals, Budd.
Nice talking with you and being able to debate without the B.S.

Despite Care Advances, Heart Attacks Remain Unpredictable
Treatment for heart disease is one of the great accomplishments of modern medicine. A wide array of drugs as well as procedures such as angioplasty and bypass surgery have saved thousands of lives.
But for all that, many people still die suddenly of heart attacks — even if they've had the best possible care. Tim Russert's death was a reminder of this, but cardiologists knew it already.
Most heart attacks occur in arteries that are less than 50% narrowed by plaque buildup — and that sort of change is often too small to show up on an angiogram or cause much chest pain, Melinda Beck notes in her Health Journal column today.
And a third of people who have heart attacks don't have the usual risk factors, such as family history of heart disease, abdominal fat, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
Still, for all the unknowns, those who do know they're at risk can take steps to improve their odds.
"Watch your weight and your blood pressure and your cholesterol and if you have diabetes, keep that under control," Edmund Herrold, a clinical cardiologist in New York City and professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, told the WSJ. "Exercise. Take an aspirin every day. Eliminate meat. There's no guarantee, but you can dramatically lower the risk of a cardiac event if you pay attention to these issues."

A History of Princeton University Press
In 1905, when Woodrow Wilson was President of Princeton University, Whitney Darrow, a recent graduate, managed the University's Alumni Weekly. Because of production difficulties, Darrow saw the opportunity for an enterprising press that could assume the Weekly's printing. Charles Scribner, a trustee of the University and publisher of the distinguished New York publishing house, Charles Scribner's Sons, had been considering the need for a publishing company that would issue scholarly books not feasible for commercial firms. Darrow visited him in March 1905, armed with a letter of introduction and a brief proposal. Impressed by his visitor's pluck and the plan for a press established in the service of Princeton University that would gradually assume the role of publisher, Scribner gave him a check for $1,000. Darrow raised another $4,000 on the basis of Scribner's endorsement and bought Zapf Press, a local printing outfit. Princeton University Press thus began as a small printer in rented quarters above Marsh's drugstore on Nassau Street in Princeton, New Jersey. Charles Scribner later gave the Press its land, its building (designed by his brother-in-law, the architect Ernest Flagg, and modeled after the Plantin Museum in Belgium), and a generous endowment.
Unlike most university presses owned or financially supported by universities, Princeton University Press has always been privately owned and controlled. Initially established as a private corporation, it was reincorporated in 1910 as a non-profit company. Throughout its history, however, the Press has maintained a close relationship with the University: its five-member Editorial Board, which makes controlling decisions about which books will bear the Press's imprint, is appointed from the faculty by the President of the University and nine of the fifteen members on the Press's Board of Trustees must have a Princeton University connection.
Manuscripts are solicited by one of ten staff editors, referred to outside experts to be peer reviewed, and then passed to the Editorial Board for approval. The Press advertises every book bearing its imprint, sells foreign rights around the world, employs sales representatives in the U.S. and abroad, and warehouses books in New Jersey and England. Although the areas of publication have shifted and expanded over the years, the Press has hewn to its charter to make available books "for the promotion of education and scholarship," frequently publishing books whose scholarly importance exceeds their financial reward. In its first 25 years, the Press published nearly 400 books. In the 1950s, 45 new books were released each year. Today the Press publishes approximately 200 new books in hardcover each year and another 90 paperback reprints. The Press's publications range across more than 40 disciplines from art history to ornithology, political science to philosophy, and the Press now has more than 50 series.
From 1905 to 1917 when Whitney Darrow was director, the Press developed its printing facilities and began to publish books. Its first book, published in 1912, was a new edition of Lectures on Moral Philosophy by John Witherspoon, the 18th-century President of Princeton University's predecessor, the College of New Jersey. In 1914, when the Darwinian controversy was still alive, the Press published its first bestseller, Heredity and Environment by biologist E.G. Conklin. Particularly notable among the early books were those in the Princeton Monographs in Art and Archaeology series which developed from ties to the University's distinguished art department. The Press also published Theodore Roosevelt's National Strength and International Duty (1917), an intensely nationalistic declaration of the virtues of universal military training.
In the era from 1917 to 1938 when Paul G. Tomlinson was director, the Press built up its printing plant and published 261 books. These ranged from Wordsworth's French Daughter (1921) by George McLean Harper, which revealed the birth of the poet's illegitimate daughter, to The Meaning of Relativity (1922), Albert Einstein's first book published in the U.S. Edward S. Corwin's The Constitution and What It Means Today, first published in 1920, went through fifteen editions and was edited by Corwin's students after he died to reflect new Supreme Court decisions. In 1926, the Press issued Frederick Jameson's The American Revolution Considered as a Social Movement and Robert K. Root's monumental edition of Chaucer's greatest artistic achievement, Troilus and Criseyde. During this period, the Press also published Paul Elmer More's six-volume The Greek Tradition and laid the plans for the Princeton Mathematical Series.
Joseph Brandt, a Rhodes scholar from Oklahoma, was director of the Press from 1938 until 1941, when he left to become President of the University of Oklahoma. Brandt's emphasis on publishing heralded a turning point for the Press: during his tenure, publishing outpaced printing as the Press's primary activity and the Press made its first efforts to seek out manuscripts of scholarly importance. A 20-volume edition of America's Lost Plays and the important Annals of Mathematics Series were begun. In addition, the Press published its first novel_Harvey Smith's The Gang's All Here, an irreverent satire of college spirit by a longtime Princeton class secretary.
The Press's current sense of scholarly purpose derives in large measure from Datus C. Smith, Jr., director of the Press from 1942 until 1952. He created a publishing record and reputation for the Press and led the Press through its greatest period of growth, issuing 450 books and making the emerging field of international relations a major area of publication in the late 1940s. Among the many books of this era were Makers of Modern Strategy, edited by Edward Mead Earle, and the four-volume American Soldier series, a landmark publication in the social-psychological study of men at war. But the most significant military book of this period was Atomic Energy for Military Purposes by Henry DeWolf Smyth, the famous "Smyth Report" of the Manhattan Project. This book, described by Herb Bailey, then the Press's science editor, as "the literary beginning of the atomic age", became a bestseller with 130,000 copies in print. John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern's influential The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, Walter Kaufmann's Nietzsche, Erwin Panofsky's Albrecht Durer, and Francis Fergusson's The Idea of a Theater were also published during this period. In 1950, in a ceremony at the Library of Congress led by President Truman, the Press published the first volume of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, a tremendous project conceived by the man who became its first editor, Julian P. Boyd, which was both a stimulus to the formation of the National Historical Publications Commission and a model for future series of presidential papers.
After an interval under acting director Norvell B. Samuels, Herbert S. Bailey, Jr. became director of the Press in 1954 (at the age of 32, he was the youngest head of a major university press in the country). Over the next 32 years, the Press strengthened its publication program and courageously undertook a number of longterm, monumental projects, most notably The Papers of Woodrow Wilson (a 69- volume series, edited by Arthur Link, which was completed in 1993), The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau, and The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein.
In 1965, the Press built a new 55,000 square foot printing plant in Lawrenceville, modernized its offices, and launched a paperback publication program that has since become one of the largest among university presses. In 1969, the Bollingen Foundation gave the world- renowned Bollingen Series, established in 1941 by Paul Mellon and Mary Conover Mellon, to the Press with the responsibility for carrying forward its work in archaeology, ethnology, literary criticism, mythology, philosophy, psychology, religion, and related fields. The 100 numbered works in this series include The Collected Works of C.G. Jung (to date, the Press has sold more than one million copies of books by Jung, including paperbacks and excerpts from this series), The Collected Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Collected Works of Paul Valery, and Works by St.-John Perse, the 1960 Nobel Laureate in poetry. Some of the individual titles include Kenneth Clark's The Nude; E.H. Gombrich's Art and Illusion; Aleksandr Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, translated and with commentary by Vladimir Nabokov; The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell (which has sold more than 750,000 copies to date); and the Wilhelm/Baynes translation of The I Ching, Or Book of Changes (which remains the Press's single bestselling book with more than 900,000 copies in print).
In 1986, Walter Lippincott succeeded Bailey as director of the Press. Since then, the Press has continued to expand its publication program and in 1993, sold its printing plant in order to focus exclusively on acquiring and publishing scholarly books. The Alumni Weekly also became an independent entity in 1990. The Complete Works of W.H. Auden, edited by Edward Mendelson, was launched in 1989. Other notable books during this period include Brian Boyd's two-volume biography of Vladimir Nabokov; Robert Putnam's Making Democracy Work; D.M. Kreps's A Course in Microeconomic Theory; Joseph Frank's monumental multi-volume biography of Dostoevsky; and The Nature of Space and Time by Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose.
Over the years, Princeton University Press has won many honors. In 1950, the Press received The Carey-Thomas Award of Publishers' Weekly for the initiation of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson. The Press received another Carey- Thomas Award in 1973 in recognition of the accomplishments of Bollingen Series and a third one in 1976 recognizing the Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation. Six Princeton University Press books have won Pulitzer Prizes: Russia Leaves the War (1957) by George F. Kennan, Banks and Politics in America From the Revolution to the Civil War (1958) by Bray Hammond, Between War and Peace (1961) by Herbert Feis, Washington, Village and Capital (1963) by Constance McLaughlin Green, The Greenback Era (1965) by Irwin Unger, and Machiavelli in Hell (1989) by Sebastian de Grazia. The Press won a National Book Award for Kennan's book, as well as for Anthony Kerrigan's translation of The Agony of Christianity and Essays on Faith by Miguel de Unamuno and Jackson Mathews's translation of Monsieur Teste by Paul Valery. Joseph Frank's Dostoevsky: The Years of Ordeal, 1850-1859 won a National Book Critics Circle Award in 1985. The History and Geography of Human Genes by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza, Paola Menozzi, and Alberto Piazza won the American Association of Publishers' R.R. Hawking Award in 1995 for the best scientific, technical, and medical book published in the United States. In addition, the Press has won five Bancroft Prizes for books by Kennan, Arthur S. Link, R.R. Palmer, and Felix S. Gilbert. The Press has also received many awards for excellence in design and printing, including 48 honors from the American Institute of Graphic Arts for books designed by P.J. Conkwright, the Press's chief designer and typographer from 1939 to 1970.

Coming Out of the Closet: Confessions of a Fashion Junkie
Composting with worms? Bring it on. Leaving the car and taking my bike? My pleasure. Eating hormone-free, antibiotic-less, locally-raised meat? Yum, yum.
But forsake fashion? Toss my trend-addiction? Lighten my carbon footprint by giving up shoes? I'd sooner give up exhaling.
The bare truth is that I fancy fashion. I pore over glossy magazines. I salivate at sales. I cut my teeth on Seventeen and Glamour, graduating to Bazaar and Vogue. And it has remained my dirty little secret for years.
Because I know — I really know — how filthy fashion is. I know that it takes approximately a third of a pound of chemicals to grow enough cotton to make just one T-shirt. That chemicals from clothing dyes release toxins into our water systems. About sweatshops and the poorly paid garment workers.
I'm aware, too, that the relative cheap cost of clothing has given rise to essentially disposable clothing — items we wear a few times then toss. And speaking of disposal, only a small fraction of clothes ever get recycled. Those sent to charity often wind up in third-world countries where their availability sometimes undermines the local textile and garment industries.
Greening up my wardrobe
So I've been trying to green up my act. Really.
I look for eco-friendly fabrics, such as soy, organic cotton and bamboo. I conscientiously seek out companies that boast sweatshop-free facilities — or are at the least working to develop transparency in their garment manufacturing. I resist fabrics that require dry-cleaning. I buy quality clothes —and fewer of them. (Another aspect of my eco-thread makeover is laundering. Cold-water wash and hang dry has led to a wardrobe that doesn't fade, doesn't shrink and doesn't need ironing!)
The result is a considerably emptier closet, a much healthier bank account, and a conscience that's far more in style.

By Sharon Bernstein LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A federal judge has rebuffed California Governor Jerry Brown's effort to ease U.S. oversight of mental health services in the state's overcrowded prisons, saying he did not trust officials to improve conditions for inmates. Brown, a Democrat, is under political pressure to scale back a program under which state prisoners are sent to local jurisdictions to ease crowding. That move has led to the early release of thousands of non-violent offenders from lower-level county jails as municipalities struggle to make room for them. ...

Stocks Jump After Europe Closes
We're starting to notice a pattern here: European stocks stop trading, and US stocks start rising.
That happened again today, with US stocks recouping much of their earlier losses after the closing bells across the pond.
The Dow was recently down just 38 points, while the S&P and Nasdaq were nearly flat, while earlier the Dow had suffered triple-digit declines.
This his happening despite the fact that the euro continues to melt down, and European stocks didn't exactly close on a strong note, either.
The euro was recently down 1.1% at $1.279.
Italy's FTSE MIB closed down 3.75, France's CAC fell 1.5% and the STOXX 50 fell 0.8%.
Zero Hedge has more on the pattern:
The New Year has ushered in a new pattern for the market – or perhaps has clarified an old one. The last 3 days has seen European credit markets notably underperform equity markets but stage a significant rally around the equity close each day. This rally then flops into US markets. Today was no different from yesterday - EURUSD leaked lower (holding under 1.28 here) all through the European day session - the question is whether we will see the same stability we saw during yesterday's US afternoon session in FX which will enable the equity strength to hold. We suspect not given that broad risk assets (CONTEXT) has notably not participated in the equity markets pull higher so far.
Very curious here is that US financials are far and away outperforming the broader market, despite the suffering of their counterparts in Europe. Financials in the S&P 500 are up 0.8%. In fact, they were higher even before the European markets closed.
That suggests the recent broader market rally could hold.
