Lamancha Goats at the Whitebird Summit Lodge
American Lamancha, or more commonly, simply Lamancha or LaMancha, is a formally recognized breed of dairy goat, first bred in Oregon by Mrs. Eula Fay Frey. The Lamancha goat is a member of the Capra genus, specifically Capra aegagrus hircus (sometimes called Capra hircus), like all domestic goats.
Lamancha goats are perhaps the most distinctive goat breed;easily recognizable by their very short ear pinnae. They are also known for their high milk production, and the comparatively high butterfat content in their milk. The short-eared American Lamanchas first gained recognition as a distinct breed in the early 1950s, and the breed was registered formally on January 27, 1958 as "Lamancha or American Lamancha" goats. Approximately 200 animals were accepted at registration as its original stock. The first true American Lamancha goat registered was named Fay's Ernie,
The LaMancha goat is the only breed of goat developed in the United States.
Although it is interesting folk lore and short eared goats do run throughout
history there is no and has been no breed known as the Spanish LaMancha The Term "American Lamancha" is
an ADGA term which denotes a goat that is mostly Lamancha but has unknow
genetics or varied genetics of other purebred goats.
Modern Lamancha ear definitions, according to the American Dairy Goat Association (ADGA) breed standard are, "Gopher ear: An approximate maximum length of 1 inch but preferably nonexistent and with very little or no cartilage. The end of the ear must be turned up or down. This is the only ear type which will make bucks eligible for registration. Elf ear: An approximate maximum length of 2 inches is allowed, the end of the ear must be turned up or turned down and cartilage shaping the small ear is allowed.
History of the ears When first registered as a breed, there were four distinctly described types of ears cataloged as acceptable for Lamancha breed registry.These were two specific 'gopher' types; short and long, and two 'elf' types; regular Lamancha ears and Cookie ears. Short gopher ears were closest to the head, could have one fold (but no length), and gave a smooth appearance to the head. After 1960, these were the only ear-type that a registered buck could have. Long gopher ears were small and round-tipped, between one-half inch and one inch long, and accordion-folded, such that when pulled out flat and released, they would fold right back. The elf types were a little longer, but still very small compared to other breeds. Cookie ears, named by Mrs. Frey after the first goat born with such ears, were pointy-tipped and turned up and back toward the head; hugging closely to the head. Regular Lamancha ears were flat, stood out from the head, bent downward, and could be an inch or up to two inches long. Only Lamanchas with Swiss-type (long) ears were unregisterable. Mrs. Frey's herd consisted mostly of regular Lamancha-eared and Cookie-eared goats, but the 1960 rule specifying only gopher-eared bucks did not disqualify pre-existing registered bucks, so her herd as it stood at the time remained registered, though later bucks born had to conform to the standard to be registered. In the early to mid-1980s, the breed standard was changed to define only two types of ears: gopher and elf.
These two little ones were born here at the Whitebird Summit Lodge on April 6 2013. It was pouring rain and when Frank went out to feed the goats, he found the babies on the ground and mom was not caring for them. They both looked like they were not going to make it. Frank brought them in the house, we put them in our bathroom sink in a warm bath. We cleaned them up and kept rubbing them to get thier little bodies warm. We dried them with hair dryers and they started to perk up a little bit. We had to milk mom because the babies were too weak to stand. We used syringes to force feed the babies. It is crucial for the babies to get mom's colostrum milk. They both started to get a little stronger and that night we put them in the sheltered horse trailer with mom for her to take care of them. The first night Frank and Terri took turns going out to the trailer to make sure that mom was taking care of them. We would get the babies up and would hold them up so they could feed. After 24 hours they were doing so much better and mom is taking great care of them. The little boy has the elk ears but the little girl was born with longer ears. Apparently the father has longer ears.

Lowry took top honors at a Northern Division I-A golf tournament at Ruby View Golf Course in Elko on Wednesday, while first-year Truckee sophomore Brandon Flora led the Wolverines with a season-low score.
The Buckaroos finished with a combined score of 400 between their top five golfers to lead the field. Host Elko was second, shooting a 418 collectively, and was followed by Spring Creek (431), Dayton (472), Whittell (480), Fernley (485), Fallon (493), South Tahoe (548) and Sparks (548).
Truckee only had four golfers and thus did not record a team score. Whittell was the only DIII school in the mix.
Flora impressed Truckee coach Kevin Waters by firing an 87 — the lowest score by a Truckee golfer in "quite awhile," Waters said.
"He's gonna be a stud in the next couple years," Waters said of Flora. "He already is."
Truckee's Jordan Fereira shot a 98, Jared Huey shot a 105 and Paul Buschmann a 106. The Wolverines were missing Sam Mohun and Max Barta.
"We're getting better all the time. We're getting the program built back up," Waters said. "And we're excited to be able to practice locally now."
Lowry's Cole Erquiaga was the tournament medalist, carding a 75.
Another Division I-A tournament was scheduled for Thursday in Winnemucca.

What to Watch for in Thursday's Jobs Report
The U.S. government is giving us an early gift for the nation's birthday: a jobs report released a day earlier than usual due to the July 4 holiday. The Labor Department's latest snapshot of the U.S. job market on Thursday is expected to show hiring continued at a steady clip in June. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal forecast nonfarm payrolls rose 215,000 last month and the unemployment rate held steady at 6.3%. Here's what to watch in the report, due at 8:30 a.m. Eastern:
Reliving the Late 1990s?
June could mark the first five-month stretch of job creation in excess of 200,000 since the boom years of the late 1990s. The strong stretch of job creation has helped to sustain hopes for a pick-up in overall growth after the economy contracted in the first quarter at the fastest pace since the recession. Despite a string of disappointments in the first half of the year, some economists still expect growth will recover to an annualized 3% pace in the second quarter and maintain that growth in the second half as the economy moves into the sixth year of the current expansion. That would be far higher than the average growth rate of just over 2% since the recession ended in 2009.
"It's been awfully hard so far this year to get a true handle on what the underlying rate of economic growth is," said Carl Tannenbaum, Northern Trust chief economist. "That said, we think the underlying momentum in the United States is very positive," he added, pointing to robust job creation, healthier household finances and a fading impact from last year's tax hikes. The pace of job growth could help clarify the underlying path after a mixed first half.
Retail and Restaurants Still Leading the Charge
More than 40% of the jobs added in the past year have come in food service, retail and temporary help, and most economists expect that trend continued last month. While services jobs overall have recovered their pre-recession level, retail jobs have not. "There's still a lot of make-up room there," said Patrick O'Keefe, director of economic research at the consultancy CohnReznick. Health-care jobs, which tend to be higher-paying positions, have rebounded strongly in recent months after weakness in 2013 and early 2014. Economists also expect hiring of temporary workers to remain vigorous as many employers scarred by the recession continue to be wary of taking on new full-time employees.
Factories and Builders Still Trailing
Economists expect hiring in manufacturing and construction, which began to soften even before the recession, continued to lag the overall jobs recovery in July. The U.S. has 1.6 million fewer factory jobs than when the recession began, as manufacturers focus much of their hiring overseas and use automation to keep costs down at home. Construction hiring remains restrained by muted business investment in new buildings. The recovery in home building has recently gone through a soft patch, while builders focus increasingly on multi-family developments that are less labor intensive.
Still Plenty of Slack
The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at a six-year low, as recent strong job gains lure some discouraged job seekers back into the labor market. For many economists the unemployment rate overstates the health of the labor market, partly because many of the unemployed have given up their job searches. At 62.8% in May, the share of the population either working or looking for work is at 30-year lows. A broader gauge of unemployment, which includes discouraged job seekers and people working part time because they can't find full-time work stood, at 12.2% in May. For policymakers at the Federal Reserve, the conflicting labor-market signals have raised tough questions about when to start tightening monetary policy.
Waiting for Wage Growth
An abundant supply of idle workers has kept wage pressures subdued throughout the recovery, and that probably didn't change last month. Throughout the latest economic expansion, private-sector employees have seen their average hourly earnings climb about 2% a year, barely ahead of inflation. Stagnant wages have helped to restrain consumer spending, which accounts for over two thirds of U.S. economic output. But if the recent pace of job gains can be sustained, the supply of available workers will dwindle and employers will have to start raising wages.

Cougar Baseball Announces Signees for 2012
College of Charleston baseball coach Monte Lee announced the signing of nine student-athletes to national letters of intent for the 2012 season.
The signees are shortstop Bradley Goodson (Jacksonville, Fla.), right-handed pitcher Brandon Landrie (Spartanburg, S.C.), shortstop Gunnar Heidt (Myrtle Beach, S.C.), first baseman Tyler Jackson (Bishopville, S.C.), left-handed pitcher Ryan Crowley (Chicago, Ill.), catcher Ryan Welke (Tallahassee, Fla.), infielder Morgan Phillips (New York, N.Y.), right-handed pitcher Derek Smith (Lexington, S.C.) and right-handed pitcher Taylor Alvarez (Chapin, S.C.)
The class is made up of five position players and four pitchers. Five are junior college players while four are high school athletes.
Prior to attending Central Florida CC, Goodson, a 6-1 shortstop, attended Providence High School where he was named the FHSAA District 2A Player of the Year. The Jacksonville, Fla. native was selected to the Northeast Florida Junior All-Star Team in 2008 after his team won the Florida State Championship. Goodson hit over .330 in his high school career and holds the Providence school record for RBI, home runs and doubles. He was selected to the Mid-Florida All-Conference team last season at Central Florida.
"Bradley's one of the better defensive shortstops in junior college baseball," said head baseball coach Monte Lee, who begins his third year at the helm of the Cougars. "We felt he was one of the top shortstops in the state of Florida, which has become a hotbed for our recruiting. Aside from his tremendous defensive skills, Goodson is turning into a good hitter."
Landrie, a 6-2 right-handed pitcher, attends Spartanburg High School and is the fourth-ranked right-handed pitcher in the state according to DiamondProspects.com.
"Landrie is a big, physical pitcher with a power arm. He throws in the low 90s and has a great breaking ball. He's a good competitor and plays under former Charleston assistant coach Tom Myers up in Spartanburg."
In three years at St. James High School, Heidt has a .473 batting average with 39 runs and 37 RBI. Heidt was a member of the 2010 AAA All-State Baseball team as well as the VII-AAA All-Region team. His HS team was District VII champions and Lower State Runner-up in 2009 after finishing the season with the most wins in school history. He earned a spot on the Gold Glove team, as well as the All-DP team. St. James repeated as District champions in 2010. He was also a member of the Diamond Devils that won the 2010 Wood Bat World Series.
"Gunnar's a great in-state kid for us. He's a very good defender and plays on a talented high school team, as well as the South Carolina Diamond Devils, which is one of the premier travel ball programs in the nation."
Jackson, in his first season at Spartanburg Methodist in 2010, carried a .374 batting average and posted 41 runs, 41 RBI and eight home runs.
"Tyler's a good left-handed hitter. We've been recruiting him for a while and we're looking for him to be a middle of the order type bat and drive in a lot of runs."
Crowley, a 6-3 left-handed pitcher, threw in 16 games in 2010 and had a 9-3 record at Northwest Florida State Junior College. In 75 innings, he carried a 5.64 ERA with 72 strikeouts and just 24 walks. He led the team in strikeouts and was in the top five in ERA last season. He was selected out of high school in the 36th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by Chicago White Sox.
"Ryan's been on the top of our list and we signed him looking for him to be a weekend starter for us. He drew a lot of interest from other schools. He's a crafty left-hander and we expect him to do great things for us."
A Four-year letter winner at Rickards High School, the 6-4 Welke was a three-time All-State honorable mention. Welke led Rickards to the school's first District 2-4A title in 17 years and was named the District 2-4A Player of the Year, the All-Big Ben Player of the Year and was a 2008 and 2009 First Team All-State and All-Big Ben selection. For his high school career he was a .370 hitter with 16 HR and 82 RBI. He is a teammate of Crowley at Northwest Florida State Junior College this season.
"Ryan's a big, physical catcher who knows the game well. He's intelligent behind the plate and has good catching/throwing skills. He has the potential to be a power hitter as well."
In 2009 Phillips, a 6-1 infielder, was invited to attend the People To People Ambassador International Baseball Tournament. He played summer AAU baseball with The New York Power House New York 9 and played three seasons at Frederick Douglass Academy. His junior year he had a .273 batting average with 11 runs and nine RBI.
"Phillips is extremely athletic and has the potential to be a high draft pick in a few years. He can play short, third or centerfield. He is a very athletic player and has the potential to hit for power as well."
Smith, a 5-7 right-handed pitcher, played at Lexington High School and most recently at Erskine. In 2010, he pitched in 22 games, and sported a 5-2 record with 63 strikeouts in 49.1 innings of work. He'll spend the 2011 season at USC Lancaster. Smith played for the Columbia Blowfish of the Coastal Plain League in the summer of 2010. He appeared in 22 games and had four saves and sported a 4-1 record. In 42.0 innings of work Smith struck out 51 and only had 17 walks fir a 1.29 ERA.
"Derek is a bulldog reliever, closer type. He's a strong, physical pitcher with a power arm that can throw in the low to mid-90s."
Alvarez, a 6-3 right-handed pitcher, played for a Diamond Devils summer team that won the 2010 Wood Bat World Series. He threw 55.3 innings in 2010 for Chapin High School and gave up only 23 runs for a 2.91 ERA. He had seven wins and struck out 57. Ranked the fifth best right-handed pitcher in the state by DiamonProspects.com, Alvarez was also invited to play for the South Carolina team in the South Atlantic Border Battle.
"Taylor is an extremely good student with a lot of projection. He's a tall, physical pitcher with a chance to become a weekend starter. He has a good sinking fastball that he can throw in the upper 80s and has a chance to throw harder as he physically develops."

Talks of backroom deals and double standards fill the latest ads in a nasty supreme court race.
The Michigan Democratic Party claims incumbent Justice Bob Young may be violating state law by living in another state.
"This is about his wife saying he's living in Milwaukee. This is not about split time," says MDP Chairman Mark Brewer.
The state republicans are firing back, stating Democratic incumbent Alton Davis was offered a political favor. Governor Granholm announced Davis' appointment this summer on the same day Republican Justice Betty Weaver resigned.
"That was another backroom deal, the kind of deals we need to get rid of in politics," says Michigan Republican Party Chairman Ron Weiser.
Currently, Democratic justices outnumber their conservative counterparts 4-3. Bill Rustem from Public Sector Consultants says that lead is safe if both incumbents are re-elected.
"They get to have the designation 'Justice of the Supreme Court' under their name," says Rustem. "They have that added incumbency advantage."
Now whichever party gains control of the Supreme Court will be of utmost importance this year. Justices have the final say in the redrawing of state district lines. It happens every year after the census, and analysts say it could define the legislative makeup for the next decade.
"You can draw the lines differently, where the lines go, to influence whether the seat is likely to be Republican or likely to be Democratic in future elections," Rustem says.
He also tells us it has many implications for voters.
"What district they live in, what representation they will have, and what sort of decisions will be made in Lansing that will affect their daily lives," Rustem says. "It is crucial from a lot of perspectives."
Voters will make the call come judgment day.
Michigan will lose one congressional seat in the redistricting process due to declining population.
The candidates for Supreme Court Justices are as follows:
D - Alton Davis (i)
R - Bob Young (i)
D - Denise Langford
R - Mary Beth Kelly
Ind - Bob Roddis

Sun Microsystems is at a key transition as it shifts emphasis to growing sales from the cost cutting and profit strengthening of the past several years, Chief Executive Jonathan Schwartz said Wednesday.
"We are very much oriented toward growing," Schwartz said during an address at the company's Global Media Summit in Menlo Park.
He said in an interview that customer interest is high in Sun's power-efficient Niagara servers, business software and storage gear.
"We're not immune to any global economic trends," Schwartz said, referring to the possibility of a worldwide economic slowdown caused by the weakening U.S. economy. But "around the world we see more companies spending more time and money on technology as a vehicle to progress their business."
During his address, Schwartz pointed to a second change afoot in the technology market - one that at first glance appears to run against Sun's new growth strategy. Computer systems and storage gear are becoming so powerful they sometimes exceed customer needs. Sun is now "delivering to our customers more performance than they require," for routine jobs such as payroll management, he said. "As a result, most of our customers can begin to reduce their spending on core infrastructure."
In response, Sun is targeting customers who continue to require the highest powered systems, Schwartz said. "That one kind of customer is a customer who sees (information technology) as a weapon," he said.
Since the collapse of the dot-com bubble in 2000, Sun has struggled to find growth and profits. However, it set the stage for its shift to revenue expansion by turning fiscal 2006 losses of $864 million into fiscal 2007 profits of $473 million.
The company appears to be building momentum, with orders for new products up 7 percent in the second quarter, Sun reported in December.

5 Reasons We Need a Responsible Approach To U.S. Energy Security
New policies requiring power plants to use unproven technologies are threatening U.S. energy security. The Whitfield-Manchin bill is a bi-partisan would ensure the EPA adheres to demonstrated and commercially available technology.
Here are a few of the reasons lawmakers need to support the Whitfield-Manchin bill:
- America has enough coal to last for 200 years.
- Consumers should not be forced to pay for unproven technology.
- Higher energy prices hit the poor harder.
- More expensive electricity hurts American industry.
- Coal-fired power plants today are cleaner and more efficient than ever before.

3rd Quarter 2010 Commentary - ASTON/New Century Absolute Return ETF Fund
3rd Quarter 2010 Commentary
A choppy quarter began with the bottoming of the June downtrend in the broader markets, leading to a month-long uptrend in July. Breadth retraced downward throughout August, however, only to reverse upward in September and break through the July top and close the quarter at its high. During the August decline, the Fund began to raise cash and even hedge the portfolio's gains somewhat before the declining market breadth reversed and began to climb as September arrived. The portfolio then quickly used the cash to get fully invested for the remainder of the quarter.
The leading story is international equity markets taking leadership from US markets. For the first time in its history, the Fund held a 30% position in non-domestic ETFs, ending the quarter with a position still over 27% of assets. Notable among the international leaders was the worldwide iShares MSCI All Country World Index ex-US ETF. The portfolio had a full position in this ETF during most of the period, which provided broad participation in numerous international markets. The Emerging Markets of Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia, India, and Chile produced the highest returns within international equities. Europe rebounded and the portfolio initiated investment in two broad European ETFs.
Growth indexes outperformed their value counterparts within US markets. In addition, mid- and small-caps showed the strongest returns in the first and last months of the quarter, but were under the most pressure in August. September highlighted the strength of small- and mid-cap growth equities, and consequently the strategy has over-weighted that portion of the style grid. Commodities-oriented ETFs also provided strong returns, notably with the global agricultural ETF PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio as well as in gold and coal.
New Century Capital Management
Hinsdale, Illinois
11 October 2010
As of September 30, 2010, iShares MSCI All Country World Index ex-US comprised 3.15% of the portfolio's assets and PowerShares Global Agriculture Portfolio – 2.04%.
Note: The Fund invests in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which are securities of other investment companies. An ETF seeks to track the performance of an index by holding all or a sampling of the securities on that index. An ETF may not be able to replicate an index exactly since returns may be reduced by transaction costs, expenses and other factors while the index has none. The Fund invests in many different areas of the market, each of which may involve its own element of risk. Use of aggressive ETF investment techniques such as futures contracts, options on futures contracts and forward contracts may expose an underlying fund to potentially dramatic changes (losses) in the value of its portfolio. In selling covered call options the Fund continues to bear the risk of a decline in the value of the underlying stock, an illiquid market, and no control over the exercise of the call options.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of mutual funds will vary with market conditions, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Before investing, carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Contact 800 992-8151 for a prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully. Aston Funds are distributed by BNY Mellon Distributors Inc.

1 APR or "annual percentage rate" is a calculation of what the loan will cost, taking into consideration interest, fees and length of loan. Accordingly, the APR is subject to increase or decrease due to factors such as changes in the interest rate of variable rate loans or changes in principle due to the capitalization of interest. Private loan APR's provided include a 0.50 percent interest rate reduction for authorizing our loan servicer to automatically deduct your payments each month from your bank account. Consolidation loan APR's provided include a 0.25 percent interest rate reduction for authorizing our loan servicer to automatically deduct your payments each month from your bank account. The interest rate reduction for authorizing our servicer to automatically deduct monthly payments from a savings or checking account will not reduce the monthly payment, but will reduce the monthly finance charge, resulting in a lower total cost of loan. Variable APR rates may increase or decrease depending on fluctuations in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) index. Monthly interest rate accrual is based on the published One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as of the last business day of the previous month plus your applicable margin. As of July 29, 2016 the One-Month LIBOR rate is 0.5%. APR ranges may include interest rate incentives only available to applicants with a creditworthy cosigner.
2 A cosigner release is allowed on an EDvestinU Private Loan if an account is in current standing after 24 months of consecutive & on-time payments with a borrower FICO >749 and income over $30,000. A cosigner release is allowed on an EDvestinU Consolidation Loan if an account is in current standing after 36 months of consecutive & on-time payments with a borrower FICO >699 and income exceeding $30,000 for loans up to $100,000 and $50,000 for loans exceeding $100,000. For both types of loans, the borrower may not have foreclosures, repossessions, wage garnishments, unpaid tax liens, unpaid judgments or other public records having an open balance exceeding $100 during the last 7 years. The borrower must not currently be involved in bankruptcy proceeding or had any bankruptcy filings during the past 10 years and cannot have any defaults on education loans.

Former IBF/WBA junior welterweight titleholder Amir Khan, of Bolton, England, will return to the ring in December against unbeaten 140-pound prospect Carlos Molina, of Rosemead, Calif., on Showtime somewhere in the United States, according to Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.
"This morning, we finalized the deal that Amir's fight against Carlos Molina is going to be on Showtime," said Schaefer. "We're finalizing the date. I should probably have that in the next 48 hours, but it will definitely be on Showtime."
The site of the fight has yet to be determined.
Khan (26-3, 18 knockouts) announced on Saturday that he has left trainer Freddie Roach in favor of 2011 Trainer of The Year Virgil Hunter in the wake of his fourth-round knockout loss to Danny Garcia, whose triumph added Khan's WBA belt as well as the division's RING championship to the WBC crown he already owned.
"I'm really pleased that Virgil is to become my new trainer. Everyone in boxing knows about his skills and the success he has enjoyed over the last few years," Khan announced on his website on Saturday.
"I'm looking forward to the start of my training camp and working on some new things with him. With Virgil in my corner, I know that I can get back to the very top of the light-welterweight division."
In hiring Hunter, Khan will be under the tutelage of the man who has guided the career of RING, WBA, WBC and Showtime Super Six World Super Middleweight Boxing Classic Champion Andre Ward, a 2004 Olympic gold medalist who was named being named Fighter of The Year for 2011.
"Amir is an extremely talented fighter, and I'm very happy to become his new trainer. I've seen a lot of him and he has many attributes such as his speed and heart," said Hunter. "There are certain small aspects of his game that I'm intending to work on in order to help him fulfill his enormous potential."
Khan, who turns 26 on Dec. 8, began working with Roach following his 54-second knockout loss to Breidis Prescott as a lightweight in September of 2008. From there, Khan won eight straight fights, four of them by knockout, and earned two major title belts.
That stretch also included knockouts of New Yorkers Zab Judah, the current IBF 140-pound beltholder at the time, and former titleholder Paulie Malignaggi, as well as victories over Marcos Maidana, Marco Antonio Barrera and Andreas Kotelnik.
But the loss to Garcia was the second in a row for Khan, whose winning streak under Roach ended with a controversial split-decision loss to Lamont Peterson last December.
Khan is looking to get back on the winning track against Molina, a 26-year-old boxer with a mark of 18-0-1 that includes seven knockouts.
"Molina is a good fighter, who has yet to taste defeat, so I know that he will be very dangerous. He's a tricky fighter who possesses a lot of natural speed," said Khan, a former Olympic silver medalist. "I always want to face hungry young fighters and in Molina I'm up against a guy who has ambitions of world title success."
Schaefer also promotes Molina, who should not be confused with the junior middleweight contender of the same name.
"I'm excited about this fight," said Schaefer. "Molina is an undefeated fighter, and this shows you that Amir does not shy away from facing undefeated fighters. An undefeated fighter always has that extra step, and feels that he's invincible. So this is going to be another tough task for Amir. But that's what Amir wants. Amir wants to challenge himself against quality opponents, and Carlos Molina is a quality opponent.
"We are also excited for Molina to have the opportunity to fight against a great fighter like Amir Khan. I'm excited for Amir, that he decided to go with such an opponent. Because if Amir wins the fight, then he will go right back into the mix for bigger fights. So this is going to be another exciting night on Showtime."

It's an App-ening thing!
I have discovered the world of Apps where one simple, sometimes silly, idea sold for 99 cents can overnight turn you into a multi-millionaire. Or so I am hoping.
In the course of reporting on this latest IT phenomenon, the App revolution, I decided I should get myself a slice of the action and so I built my own App. A decision-making App called "Charlies Choice" which is now on sale in the App store for 99 cents - a bargain, if you ask me.
Anyone can do this as I demonstrate in my story, though admittedly I did start with the advantage of getting to talk to the world's most successful App-preneurs as well as getting an audience with the man who made all this madness possible, Steve Wozniak, the co-inventor of the Apple computer.
Well, you need a bit of an edge, don't you?
When an App takes off, "going viral" they call it, it can sell hundreds of millions, given that there's a global market place with billions of potential customers.
You do the sums.
So, I mightn't see you again. I'm going to be too busy counting my money.
Though there's probably an App for that, too.

Road to Valor "is the inspiring, against-the-odds story of Gino Bartali, the cyclist who made the greatest"comeback in Tour de France history and secretly aided the Italian resistance during World War II. Gino Bartali is best known as an Italian cycling legend: the man who not only won the Tour de France twice, but also holds the record for the longest time span between victories. During the ten years that separated his hard-won triumphs, his actions, both on and off the racecourse, ensured him a permanent place in Italian hearts and minds. In "Road to Valor, "Aili and Andres McConnon chronicle Bartali's journey, starting in impoverished rural Tuscany where a scrawny, mischievous boy painstakingly saves his money to buy a bicycle and before long, is racking up wins throughout the country. At the age of 24, he stuns the world by winning the Tour de France and becomes an international sports icon. But Mussolini's Fascists try to hijack his victory for propaganda purposes, derailing Bartali's career, and as the Nazis occupy Italy, Bartali undertakes secret and dangerous activities to help those being targeted. He shelters a family of Jews in an apartment he financed with his cycling winnings and is able to smugglecounterfeit identity documents hidden in his bicycle past Fascist and Nazi checkpoints because the soldiers recognize him as a national hero in training. After the grueling wartime years, Bartali fights to rebuild his career as Italy emerges from the rubble. In 1948, the stakes are raised when midway through the Tour de France, an assassination attempt in Rome sparks nationwide political protests and riots. Despite numerous setbacks and a legendary snowstorm in the Alps, the chain-smoking, Chianti-loving, 34-year-old underdog comes back and wins the most difficult endurance competition on earth. Bartali's inspiring performance helps unite his fractured homeland and restore pride and spirit to a country still reeling from war and despair." " Set in I. Price: $19.56

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Nestor Quotes
(Nestor:) 'The will of the everlasting gods is not turned suddenly.' (3.147)
It's hard to change a god's mind—but it sounds like Nestor is suggesting that it can be changed. Maybe if you sacrifice enough ram thighs.
Quote 2
(Nestor:) 'Never once did the wind fail, once the god had set it blowing.' (3.182-183)
Nestor credits Menelaos's safe journey home to the will of the Gods.
Quote 3
(Nestor:) 'Act quickly now, dear children, and do me this favor, so that I may propitiate first of all the gods, Athene, who came plainly to me at our happy feasting in the god's honor. Come then, let one man go to the field for a cow, so that she may come with all speed, and let one of the oxherds be driving her, and one go down to the black ship of great-hearted Telemachos, and bring back all his companions, leaving only two beside her, and yet another go tell the worker in gold Laerkes to come, so that he can cover the cow's horns with gold. You others stay here all together in a group but tell the serving women who are in the house to prepare a glorious dinner, and set chairs and firewood in readiness, and fetch bright water.' (3.418-429)
Want your sacrifice to net you bonus points? Cover its horns with gold, first. We're getting the idea that pleasing the gods means performing extravagant wasteful actions—and, bear with us for a minute, but wouldn't people who have the means to perform extravagant wasteful actions have a leg up in the first place?

Piano Quintet No.2, Op.26 (Dohnányi, Ernő)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Amidst growing public concern about imported food safety, proposed expansions of NAFTA to Panama and Colombia (as well as the already-passed Peru NAFTA expansion) would worsen the ongoing food and safety crisis – increasing the amount of imported food and locking in trade agreement limits on Congress' ability to protect our safety.
We need our members of congress to fight for a new direction on trade policy that prioritizes health and safety over corporate profits. Can you sign the petition to Congress?
Petition to Congress:
"It is past time for Congress to take action to safeguard American consumers from dangerous food imports. With international trade deals like NAFTA and the World Trade Organization requiring us to import food that does not meet our own safety rules and limiting border inspection of food imports, now is the time to be fixing these failed agreements - not expanding them.
Implementing the Bush NAFTA expansion agreements with Peru, Panama, Colombia and South Korea would replicate the NAFTA-WTO limits on Congress' ability to protect our food safety - while increasing the amount of unsafe food imports! Please vote 'no' on any and all of these NAFTA expansion agreements. This is necessary to avoid making the imported food safety problem even worse."
To read the full Public Citizen alert about food safety and trade, click here.
Please fill out the form below. We'll send a copy of the petition with your name on it to your two senators and your congressional representative when you do.

A Must Read - Share
The FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Germany could herald a rift in the Catholic church, pitting Argentine-born Pope Francis against German Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
Pope Francis has almost surely been secretly rooting for Argentina, despite his pledge to keep his prayers neutral.
But Germany's unbelievable 7-1 rout of Brazil during yesterday's semi-final could make for an awkward final match for the Vatican's holiest football fans.
Francis earlier joked of a "war" between him and his protectors, The Swiss Guards, during the Argentina-Switzerland match. But could we now see a

Hi, can anyone explain the factors affecting unemployment on a macroeconomic scale?
More specifically; how does i) Inflation and ii) Interest rate affect inflation
Factors affecting unemployment
|Posted on
Goegraphical immobility of labour causes unemployment, so does economical activity in undesirable areas meaning that people cannot move out of those areas (as they cant afford too) to areas where there are jobs.
Also it takes time for jobs to be filled i.e. recreuitment process and structural unemployment occurs i.e. industrys decline and new industries open all the time.
High interest rates bring inflation down, but low interest rates increase inflation (but only in the long run)
unemployment: probably the costs to a firm, the JSA level, tax level, wage rate/national minimum wage, power of trade unions, white collar unemployment if everyone is educated and skilled...
inflation affect inflation?
high interst rates = people save more than spend = lower consumption = decrease in AD and decrease inflation

ANZ Frequent Flyer Black Ad
Qantas axed its last remaining service to continental Europe this week with the closure of its daily QF5/QF6 flight to Frankfurt via Singapore.
London is now the only European city served by Qantas' own planes, these being the Red Roo's daily A380 flights from Sydney and Melbourne via Dubai.
But according to Simon Hickey, CEO of Qantas International, travellers to Germany will find themselves much better off under the Qantas-Emirates alliance.
"I think Emirates actually provides a better proposition to Germany", Hickey told Australian Business Traveller, citing the airline's reach into four German cities – Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Munich – with several daily direct flights from Dubai.
(However, the best connections and shortest waiting time for those flights will be to travel from Australia to Dubai on an Emirates aircraft – so be sure to book this as a Qantas codeshare to maximise your frequent flyer points and also earn status credits.)
Qantas had planned to run the Frankfurt service until October this year, but claims it was simply losing too much money.
"One of the issues of the issues we had with the Frankfurt service beyond Singapore was the age of the aircraft' Hickey explains. "They're getting towards the end of their life, and Frankfurt's been a struggling route for some time."
"It was a difficult decision, but it was also very difficult for me to go to the board and say 'I'd like to get some brand new aircraft to fly a route that we're losing a lot of money on.'"
But the Boeing 747 still flies to Singapore
QF5/QF6 remains on the Qantas schedule but now runs only between Sydney and Singapore, with a tweak to the timetable which sees it departing Sydney at 1pm and arriving into Singapore at 7.20pm – a better arrangement for Singapore-bound travellers than the previous 10pm wheels-down at the Lion City before continuing to Frankfurt.
These flights will use both Boeing 747s and Airbus A330, Hickey says.
"We'll still fly a bit of a mixed schedule with the 747 and A330. We'll keep flying the 747 to Singapore because that leg is efficient flying for us."
Hickey discounted any notion of flying Airbus A380s to Singapore, even when Qantas begins to receive its second batch of superjumbos from 2016.
"I think the A380 is probably a better aircraft for longer sectors like Dubai and London", meaning that new A380 routes would be "really about what opportunities present themselves for an aircraft like that."
Hickey's strategy for Singapore "is to get frequency with an efficient aircraft like an A330 or Boeing 787, as opposed to putting an A380 on.'
Hong Kong is a different story, Hickey says, and the A380 will continue to serve Sydney-Hong Kong flights several days per week.
"It's still a very good proposition for Hong Kong, and it's very popular because we have the only first class to Hong Kong."

YORK — Five weeks before Christmas, 80 families in the York area have already registered to receive Toys for Tots, according to Mel Bates, the southern Maine volunteer coordinator for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program.
Bates expects more than 200 families in York alone will sign up before the holiday, a rise over last year.
"It's the economy," Bates said. While he believes it is recovering, families continue to struggle to make ends meet, he said.
Toys for Tots collects toys to go under the tree for children from infants to the age of 17.
"It's tough to get the 17-year-olds covered," said Bates, who suggests gift cards for those looking for ideas.
Bates has placed 60 boxes for people to drop off toys, at banks, schools, hardware stores, beauty salons, Hannaford supermarket, and elsewhere.
He and volunteer Ed Collins plan to pick up the toys on Monday, Dec. 16, for distribution at St. Christopher Church in York on Tuesday, Dec. 17. The toys are placed on tables for the parent or caregiver to pick out one large item, two smaller gifts, stocking stuffers, puzzles and games, and wrapping paper, for each child in the family, Bates said.
The important point is that parents who would like to get free toys should sign up as soon as possible, he said, at the web site, springvale-me.toysfortots.org. All information is confidential, Bates said.
Nationally each year, Toys for Tots distributes 15 million toys, according to Bates.
"We collected thousands (of toys), tens of thousands for York County," Bates said of previous years. "This is so every kid opens up a gift. We will be there for them, each and every year."

Post subject: Advice???
Hello, Im new here and was hoping to get some advice and or support. Im only 15 years old and im four months pregnant, due in October. Im doin adoption becuase its whats best for my baby. It will be open so ill get pictures and things. Its just hard to deal with sometimes when everyone is saying keep your child, but they dont understand i cant. Unless they gave me the money i would need and a place to stay. It gets to me sometimes...
I would hope one day the baby knows about me and i could meet him/her...but im not sure how that would go. Oh and i still consider myself to be a mom.

Aww honey i really feel for you, remember no one can judge you till they've walked a mile in your shoes. Ofcourse you are a mum and always will be. I dont know anything about adoption really but i have heard of open adoption and i think it is good that the mother is able to see pictures of the child growing up. Dont be hard on yourself, i think that you are being really brave and its a very admirable thing that you are doing. Ofcourse you need to be 100% sure whatever you decide in the end but whatever you do choose to do im sure you will have your baby's and your best interests at heart. xxx

With it being an oen adoption do you get to meet the adoptive parents before you have the baby? if so you could tell them your concerns about the baby knowing about you when he/she grows up. Also can they pass on letters etc from you? xxx

It's the second murder case in less than five days, in the same county.
Police are investigating the second murder since Saturday in Leslie County. A man was found dead in the Mozelle community off Highway 421.
Police say they are still canvassing the area, questioning those in the community. In the meantime, family members say it is hard to deal with this loss.
Family and friends gather outside this mobile home on Highway 421, a community shaken.
"I was just shocked, I didn't really didn't know what to think. I still don't know what to think."
Family members say early this morning the body of 21 year old Chad Muncy was discovered by his mother. They say he was stabbed to death.
"He was 21 years old, he never bothered nobody and somebody just comes and stabs him in the back and leaves him," said Jennifer Muncy, Chad's sister.
"At this time it'd be preliminary to speculate on the exact cause of death or anything like that, until we get an autopsy done, until we figure out more about the investigation, we'd really be premature to speculate about what happened exactly," said Captain Scott Miller, with Kentucky State Police.
While police continue to investigate, his sister says she does not understand why anyone would want to do this to her brother.
"He was my only brother, it's just the two of us, yeah we was just really close, yeah I've lived with him. Yeah we was close," she said.
"He was fun. I mean, he was just chad, you'd just have to know him. He was just a good person, a good spirit," said Joshua Muncy, Chad's cousin.
He says he and his family will not rest until they find who is responsible.
"It's just a tragedy man, a tragedy," he said.
Police say an autopsy will be performed either tonight or tomorrow morning. They say if anyone in the community has any information in this case, to contact Kentucky State Police. They also say at this point, it is too early to tell if this murder is connected to the one from over the weekend.

Can Bad Breath Come Out of Your Nose?
When you get morning breath, if you were to breath through your nose rather than your mouth would it still smell of morning breath? Can bad breath come out of your nose?
David, Mill Hill
Name: Geoff, Billericay
Qualification: Degree of life/some medical training when in the police force
Answer: Hallitosis - morning breath - is generally due to debris etc in the mouth that has gone bad. WHen you breath out through your nose it bypasses the mouth. If you have bad breath from your nose you must have an infection in your nasal passage/throat.

Gathering market intelligence is not a practice area reserved for large corporations only. Analysis of key performance indicators (KPIs) is a critical step in maintaining a competitive edge for companies of any size. There is a plethora of tools that mine and report data about your site, your marketing assets, and your online reputation. Many of these tools are free so analyzing performance doesn't have to lower your bottom line.
Social Media Monitoring
What are others saying about your company and its solutions? There are social media monitoring tools that allow business owners to analyze who's talking, what they are saying, and how many times they've shared your marketing content. "Listening" programs like BoardReader track forum posts to find keywords you select, such as your brand or industry terms. TweetBeep and other Twitter analytics follow feeds searching for mentions about your company or its solutions. You can find tools that track the blogosphere, review sites, or other community-based domains. Social network monitoring is a critical step in preserving your company's image. After all, a bad review on Yelp, for example, can decimate your business.
Keyword Performance
Which keywords are most effective at bringing buyers your way? The Pew Internet and American Life Project tells us 91% of the adult internet population uses a search engine to find information. Knowing which keywords work in your market can make a significant impact. Tools like SiteOlytics analyze your website performance as it relates to specific keywords. Keyword performance tools are useful for examining your industry, key competitors, etc.
Keyword notification applications such as Google Alerts are designed to search the web and send notifications via RSS feeds that a news item, blog post, or other publication contains keywords or phrases that you specify.
Search Engine Rankings
As mentioned earlier, 91% of adults use search engines to find information; are your pages getting viewed during organic searches? Google Analytics and other SE analytics programs report how visible your web pages or other marketing assets are to your market. Search engine analytics can segment results according to branded (your company or solution) and non-branded (generic terms) traffic. Some tools also report error returns, such as 404 File Not Found, which can indicate page problems.
Email Marketing
Email marketing is not a set-it-and-forget-it proposition. Analyzing the effectiveness of an email campaign can lead to improved response rates and higher sales conversions. There are a number of email blast providers that provide analytics for measuring campaign effectiveness.
Aweber and other email service companies provide granular analytics that graphically display activity data. You can examine who opened the message, who unsubscribed, how much revenue was generated from specific messages, and other important metrics. You can also segment reporting by various parameters, such as product purchased, email service (Gmail, Yahoo!, etc.), and click-through rate.
Lead/Contact Management (B2B Companies)
Customer intelligence is critical to the success of companies competing in the digital marketplace. Knowing about the attributes (such as location, job title, or number of employees) and online behavior (such as downloads from your site) of your prospects and customers allows you to examine if specific leads fit your customer profile and provides opportunities to tailor your marketing approach.
Lead management tools from companies such as Lead Liaison provide metrics such as lead scoring for prospects before they are contacted by your sales agents. Contact management tools like the Sales Cloud analyzer are beneficial when a marketing lead advances to a sales-ready stage or when a prospect becomes a customer.
We'll be happy to speak with you about the best options available for web analytics and how integration with Motoza's optimization solutions can boost your company's performance. Contact us today for a free consultation!

Break, Break, Break
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Break, Break, Break Language and Communication Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea! (1-2)
The sound of the sea waves "breaking" is repetitive and meaningless, setting up the theme of the speaker's worry that his own crying and grief is equally repetitive and meaningless.
Quote #2
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me. (3-4)
The speaker claims that he is unable to express his own thoughts, which seems odd, given that he goes on to finish one of the more famous poems in the English language. He phrases his inability rather passively: he doesn't say, "I can't utter what I'm thinking," but rather, says that his "tongue" can't "utter" it, as though his tongue were somehow separate from the rest of him.
Quote #3
O, well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!(5-6)
Here's that syllable "O" again – it's a meaningless sound, like the sound of the waves or the happy "shouts" of the "fisherman's boy." The fisherman's boy is not shouting words – at least, the words are not repeated by the speaker – he's just making noise, but without expressing anything. The speaker is worried that that's exactly what he's doing in this poem.

The Search for The Perfect Golf Club (excerpt)
From Chapter 1 - Getting a Head
The loft, lie and lengths of your clubs all interact with one another and your swing speed to give you the direction, distance and trajectory of your ball flight. In terms of accuracy, the most important of these three is club length, followed by lie and loft. Let's look particularly at length.
Length and accuracy is a no brainer. Think about it. If I put a club head at the end of a 10 inch shaft and ask you hit a golf ball straight down the fairway, it would be a pretty easy task. OK, so you'd only get to put one hand on the club, you'd be on your knees to address the ball, and the ball wouldn't go very far. But, it would be easy to make solid contact and to hit the ball straight. Now, let's say I switch you from a 10 inch to a 10 foot club and ask you to do the same thing. What do you think's going to happen?
Right. The 10 foot long club would be almost completely uncontrollable.
I remember when long drive competitions had just started, and golfers were in awe of the humongous long drivers these gorillas used. All of a sudden there was so much interest among regular golfers in super-long drivers that many shaft companies began to manufacture specially designed super-long shafts to meet the demand.
One day I built a 60" long driver with a graphite shaft finished in a bright fire engine red. My wife Mary-Ellen happened to work with LPGA Tour player Tammie Green's brother at the time. We were headed out for a picnic at the Green family farm outside the quaint little town of Somerset, Ohio that weekend. I knew Tod would just love to get his hands on that club, what with all the talk at the time in golf about super long drivers, so I shoehorned all 60 inches of it into the car.
The 9-hole golf course where all the Greens learned to play bordered the family's farmland so as soon as I pulled this 60" driver out of the car, Tod and Tammie got this gleam in their eyes and said, "let's go over to the club." In a flash the three of us hopped on the family John Deere, headed out across the fields and over to the Perry County 'Country Club'. Some vehicle to head into a golf course parking lot with, eh!
As soon as we rolled in, Tod hopped off the tractor, took the 60 inch driver and strolled into the "clubhouse." Conspicuously waggling the driver in front of him, Tod hollered out, "Tammie'n me got us a new driver here and we're a'wonderin' if any of you boys want to give it a whack." Sure enough, the "boys" all jumped up and insisted on heading outside the front door to the 1st tee to try it out. Once there Tod posed a little proposition–you know, a group of guys hanging out drinkin' beers in the shop can't possibly do anything golf-related without "putting something on it"!
Tod said, "OK, you guys give me a buck for each swing you take with this driver and I'll give you two bucks if you hit it over the ditch out there in the fairway." I took a look and figured the ditch that crossed the first fairway was out there about 210 yards, and probably a hazard most of these guys feared with their "mini-drivers." With visions of massive drives from this 60" driver, tongues were hanging out and hands were reaching into back pockets before Tod could finish uttering the challenge. Of course, Tod's "shill" was sister Tammie. After several of the "boys" paid the buck and topped, heeled, or dropkicked the driver, Tammie would step in and say, "Tod, you sure there ain't nothing wrong with that driver that's causin' the boys to hit it so short"? At which point Tod promptly handed the club to his tour player sister Tammie who blew the ball WELL over the ditch on the fly.
Well that just stirred things up even more with the boys of Perry County C.C. To make a long story short, Tod and Tammie walked away with over $100 that day! And the guys all left with a lesson about long drivers, on-center hits and accuracy. The most heard phrase that day? "Gimme that damn thing again, I know I can fly the ditch." So Tod, Tammie and I all headed to the Somerset butcher shop and grilled steak at the picnic instead of burgers and dogs!
What all this means is this. Somewhere between 10 inches and 10 feet is the correct length for a golf club to hit the ball solid with distance and accuracy. But, I'll guarantee the right length for you is far closer to 10 inches than 10 feet! Do NOT assume that the "standard" length found on the clubs in the golf shop, especially the woods, will be right for you. 98% of the men's drivers these days are built to a "standard" length of 45 or 45.5 inches; and I am here to tell you that a 45 inch driver will not fit 90% of all golfers and will never allow them to achieve their best combination of distance AND accuracy.
Let me put it another way. Tiger Woods has swung a 43.5 inch driver most of his career on tour. If he could hit the ball straight with a 45 inch club–he would. He can't; so he doesn't. And he knows if he did use a longer driver, he'd have even more trouble keeping it in play. The average driver length for all the other pros on the PGA Tour today is 44.5 inches. Now if Tiger and the rest of his pals know they can't control a 45 inch long stick, what are the chances that you can?

The year's most celebrated holiday is celebrated on December 25th, both in homes
and churches worldwide. The meaning for Christmas is to recognize Christ's birth,
of which the exact date is not known. During the fourth century the Bishop of Rome
set December 25th as Christ's birth date. Some authorities claim that the choice of
December 25th was made because it coincided with Chanukah, Mithraic's feast of
the sun god, and the people of northern Europe's winter solstice feast.
Evergreens, the symbol of eternal life, have long been used for Christmas time
decorations. The Christmas wreath represents everlasting life and God's endless
love for us. Kissing under a mistletoe supposedly started out when early Roman
enemies stopped fighting when they met under a mistletoe. Holly is the most known
Christmas greenery, and there are several legends about it. One is that Jesus' crown
was made of holly, and the holly berries represented his blood.
The Christmas tree: The Christmas tree is an evergreen trimmed with lights,
decorations, and tinsel, is derived from a "paradise tree", or the tree in the Garden of
Eden. (Encarta 2000) The use of the Christmas tree began early in the 17th century,
in Strasbourg, France, spreading from there through Germany and then into northern
Europe. In 1841 Prince Albert introduced the Christmas tree to Great Britain, where
from there immigrants brought it to the United States. (Encarta 2000)
The beginning of gift giving during Christmas started from the three wise men, with
their three gifts for the Christ child. Since then people have made up different things
to tell their children where their Christmas presents came from. The historical Saint
Nicholas was known in early Christian legends for saving storm-tossed sailors,
standing up for children, and giving gifts to the poor. Although many of his stories
