Leslie Brenner ran down some of her most trying experiences dining in Dallas' most prestigious ZIP codes.
But that doesn't mean you can't dine exceedingly well in the The Park Cities, the Knox corridor, Oak Lawn and Preston Hollow.
Some restaurants that get it right:
The Village Marquee Texas Grill and Bar (formerly known as Marquee Grill and Bar), where chef Tre Wilcox turns out sophisticated plates and the dining room offers outstanding service, is a good choice in Highland Park Village. At Nonna, chef-owner Julian Barsotti's obsession with the most fabulous ingredients available translates into regional Italian with a deliciously personal, handcrafted spin. Shinsei, where owners Tracy Rathbun and Lynae Fearing keep the Asian fusion experience fresh, still draws enthusiastic crowds, and it's not hard to understand why: The Japanese offerings in particular are some of the best around. Around the corner at Bijoux in Inwood Plaza, diners can count on being coddled in Gina Gottlich's dining room. And chef Scott Gottlich's terrific French dishes with Texan touches are now more accessible, since the Gottlichs dropped their prices and made the place a little more casual earlier this year.
At Komali, Abraham Salum's Cole Ave. restaurant, he and chef Anastacia Quiñones feature creative, thoughtful takes on Mexican cooking. They're at the forefront of Dallas' modern Mexican movement.
If steak is what you're after, two Oak Lawn spots -- Nick and Sam's and Al Biernat's -- both satisfy mighty carnivore cravings with an extra dose of panache. Both provide superior service, to boot.

Massey Ferguson® a global brand of AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), introduces the GC1700 Series sub-compact tractors, which deliver hardworking performance and reliability plus redesigned styling, functionality and control placement, making this Series of tractors easy to own and a pleasure to operate. From gardening to moving bulky material, whether the job is commercial or residential, the GC1700 Series will get the job done right.
The new GC1700 Series can be equipped to take on multiple tasks and has the exceptional durability and performance features expected from a Massey Ferguson. This new offering includes four models that replace the previous GC range. The GC1705 and GC1710 TLB are rated 22.5 gross engine horsepower and the GC1715 and GC1720 TLB are rated at 24.5 gross engine horsepower.
Engine features: a quiet and efficient powerhouse The GC1700 Series sub-compact tractors effortlessly undertake a vast number of projects, powered by the fuel-efficient, three-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine. The high-torque engine is protected under a very functional, solid metal hood with a tilt up design that makes access to the engine quick and easy.
All four models feature a low-rated engine rpm that reduces vibration and noise, to improve engine life and decrease fuel consumption. The radiator and radiator fan are strategically placed behind the engine, pulling hot air away from the operator, keeping both the operator and engine cooler.
Redesigned for greater operator convenience and comfort Guided by customer input and constant testing, the design of the GC1700 Series offers improvements that make the tractors more convenient, comfortable and easier to operate. A wide-open, clutter-free platform allows the operator to move on and off the tractor with ease and offers plenty of space for natural leg movement. The new seat is ergonomically designed with adjustments to custom-fit any body profile for exceptional driving comfort.
To improve overall operating performance for multiple functions, the hydraulic joystick has been moved to the right side of the front console, putting the control lever within easy reach of the operator. Its refined linkage provides smoother operation to reduce the amount of arm movement for the operator. A new safety lockout lever prevents the operator from inadvertently bumping the joystick or operating the hydraulics when in the locked position. Finally, the loader and backhoe quick-attach design allows the operator to effortlessly remove each attachment when necessary.
Speed and control The GC1700 features a dual-range hydrostatic transmission with infinitely variable speeds from zero to top speed in each range. Redesigned hydrostatic foot pedals are strategically located on the right side of the platform, while the brake pedal is on the left side. The foot pedals are spring-loaded and are designed to return to a neutral position when released. The cruise control also has been redesigned and moved to the front dash panel for easy access. This allows effortless engagement by simply pushing down on the orange handle once the desired speed is reached. Pulling up on the handle or pressing any foot pedal will disengage the cruise control.

John Deere
To provide hay and forage producers with more mowing options, John Deere has added two sickle cutterbar mower conditioners to its product line-up. The two new mo-co models include the M160A and M180A, both center pivot, pull-type machines. They feature double-knife sickle cutterbar platforms which are also used on the auger heads of the new John Deere Self-Propelled Windrowers.
Jeremy Unruh, marketing manager at John Deere Ottumwa Works, says the two new mower conditioners meet the mowing needs of hay and livestock producers and provide more efficient mowing performance in the field. "Available in 16-foot and 18-foot cutting widths, the new M160A and M180A Mower Conditioners provide the widest conditioning rolls on the market today for machines of this type. In addition, the forming shields can be easily adjusted to create windrows from 36 to 100 inches in width."
Both the M160A and M180A models have enclosed oil-bath gearboxes for the double-knife sickle cutterbar for reliable hay-cutting performance. It also gives a low cutting height, which maximizes the amount of hay cut while leaving a clean, even field profile.
In addition, the center-mounted pivot hitch and drive system allows for a shorter turn radius and the convenience of left- or right-side operation. For improved crop conditioning and faster dry down with less field loss, the new mo-co models have steel roll conditioning systems.
The M160A and M180A can be matched with 125 horsepower or higher tractors for optimal harvesting performance.
"These two models complement the full line of John Deere hay and forage products that include disk mowers, rotary mo-cos, self-propelled machines, and balers" Unruh says. "With 16- and 18-foot cutting widths and fast operating speeds, depending on the type and density of crop, operators can cut, condition and windrow large hay fields quickly and easily to put up high-quality hay and forage."
For more information on the new M160A and M180A Mower-Conditioners, as well as the complete line of John Deere hay and forage products, visit your local John Deere dealer or visit www.JohnDeere.com.
John Deere has expanded its 6 Series Tractor family with the introduction of 12 new models in the 105 to 170 engine horsepower range for 2013. These new models are designed to provide the power, comfort, and performance that meet the needs of a wide range of crop and livestock producers and governmental agencies.
The all-new John Deere 6M Series Tractors include six models (6105M, 6115M, 6125M, 6140M, 6150M and 6170M) from 105 to 170 engine horsepower and replace the standard 6030 and 7030 Series Tractors. According to Rachel Wayson, John Deere Tractor Works, the 6M Series Tractors are ideal for livestock customers looking for a mid-spec tractor with higher horsepower options.
"The new 6M tractors have additional transmission options, increased hitch and hydraulic capacities, and provide IT4 emission compliant engines," Wayson says. "The new 6170M model, for example, offers customers a higher horsepower tractor at a mid-range specification level."
In addition, John Deere has updated its economical 6D Series Tractor lineup that was introduced in 2008. The new 6D Series include 4 models ranging from 105 to 140 engine horsepower (6105D, 6115D, 6130D, and 6140D).
"The new 6D models provide all the power, performance and comfort customers demand to complete a broad range of jobs on the farm and ranch," Wayson adds. "Enhanced features over the previous 6D models include easy-to-use right-hand cab controls, an optional instructional seat, easy-to-access service points, options for increased hitch-lift capacity, and increased hydraulic flow for loader operations."
Expanding on its 6R Series Tractors for the row-crop market, John Deere introduces two mid-horsepower models: 6140R and 6150R, offering 140 and 150 engine horsepower, respectively. These two models complete the 6R model line-up, giving customers a total of eight different models to choose from in the 105 – 210 engine horsepower range.
"The 6140R and 6150R models replace previous 7030 Premium models and include a larger ComfortView™ Cab for increased comfort and visibility, GreenStar™ CommandCenter™ display, and precision ag technology options found on our larger R Series Tractors," Wayson explains. "Like the other 6R Tractors, the 6140R and 6150R combine the comfort, power, and maneuverability customers need to handle hay baling, loader work and many row-crop operations with ease."
Both new 6R models come standard with John Deere 6.8L PowerTech PVX engines with Intelligent Power Management that provide an additional 20 horsepower during transport and non-stationary PTO applications. Transmission options include a 20-speed AutoQuad Plus ECO Transmission (standard), 16-speed PowerQuad Plus (optional), or IVT Transmission (optional). IVT and AutoQuad Plus configurations are available with up to 50K (31 mph) transport speed.
John Deere has also introduced the new DirectDrive transmission for the 6R Series. The newly designed 24-speed DirectDrive transmission combines the handling comfort of an IVT transmission with the power and efficiency of a mechanical transmission. Available on the 6140R - 6210R models, DirectDrive provides the comfort and efficiency for any task at hand.
"The small ag tractors in the 6 Series family provide the versatility required by customers needing a tractor to handle diverse applications," Wayson adds. "They provide the performance, ease of operation and optional features that customers can depend on for years of reliable service in the field."

AGCO (NYSE:AGCO), Your Agriculture Company, a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, introduces five new Sunflower® 5056 Series field cultivators for 2013. Ranging from 45 to 63 feet wide, the new field cultivators join the industry-leading Sunflower 5000 Series field cultivator line. The 5056 models offer ground-hugging flexibility across the full width of the machines, and are among the largest in the industry to quickly and consistently handle seedbed preparation during the short spring planting window.
"The Sunflower 5000 Series field cultivators have long been the seedbed preparation tool of choice for many farmers," says Tom Draper, Sunflower seeding and tillage product marketing manager. "As with previous models, the Sunflower 5056 Series field cultivators have outstanding ground clearance and superb flotation plus the capacity to cover acres fast to get fields ready for the optimal spring planting window.
"They are built strong, in the Sunflower tradition, and have a truss-style main frame with rotational-torque-compensating wing frames so they will be strong enough to stand up to years of high-acre use in challenging field conditions," Draper explains.
Designed for maximum residue flow and consistent field prep The 5056 Series field cultivators feature deep frames, with 26-inch clearance and carefully designed shank placement to provide unmatched performance and unobstructed residue flow-through. Shanks are available in either a 190-pound (86 kg) point load, spring-tension design that protects the machine from field hazards and maintains the proper sweep angle in tough soil conditions, or an S-tine design for lighter soils.
These field cultivators have 9-inch cultivator shovels on 6-inch centers, which provide 1.5 inches of overlap on each side. This design creates a full cut to ensure that all weeds and grasses are sheared and that shallow compaction layers are shattered. Five choices in finishing attachments customize these machines to match a wide variety of soil types and varying residue-management needs for optimal field preparation.
Walking tandems for stability, even penetration Heavy-duty walking tandems and swiveling front-gauge wheels on each of the five frame sections provide stability and ensure even shovel depth across the machine width, while preventing gouging across uneven terrain such as terraces. This enhances seedbed consistency and, ultimately, ensures consistent crop emergence for better yields. Bolt-in spindles with triple-lip seals provide years of trouble-free service.
A self-leveling hitch helps keep the frame level from the front to rear during transport or in the field, regardless of operating depth, eliminating time spent leveling the machine, so working time is maximized. Depth is easy to set by turning the depth-control handle one revolution for each one-half-inch change. A highly visible depth-control gauge is located for ease of operator use.
Wing-frame hinge bearings, gauge wheel rotational and thrust bearings, and lift-system pivot points are made with ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) plastic so there is no metal-to-metal contact and wear, for longer machine life and less time and expense spent on daily machine maintenance.
The new Sunflower 5056 field cultivator will be on display at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa and at Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, Nebraska. For more information about these new models and the full line of tillage tools from Sunflower, see your Sunflower equipment dealer or visit www.sunflowermfg.com.
Challenger®, a global brand of AGCO (NYSE: AGCO), introduces new 500C Series combines that set a higher standard for harvesting capacity and fuel efficiency compared to previous models, thanks to a redesigned crop inlet and threshing system, plus new in-line positioning of the industry-leading AGCO POWER™ 9.8-liter seven-cylinder engine. Both the 540C [Class 7] and 560C [Class 8] combines offer 350-bushel bin capacities and best-in-class peak unloading rates of 4.5 bushels per second.
"The new 540C and 560C combines feature an all-new multi-zone crop inlet that improves capacity and control of crop material in the segmented rotor and concave sections, which we've also redesigned," says Kevin Cobb, product marketing manager, combines. "These changes, along with the repositioned engine, boost throughput, reduce power needs and dramatically improve overall efficiency of the power train, reducing fuel use."
The redesigned threshing system includes twelve modular concave sections. This allows one person to easily change out the individual concave sections with a choice of three options and fine-tune the machine for optimal threshing performance. Consistent threshing is delivered by the new H-frame-designed concave support system, which keeps concaves concentric with the rotor throughout the adjustment range, but also includes a unique suspension system to allow large "slugs" of material to pass through without plugging or damage.
Tier 4i engine with AGCO e3 technology for more power, less fuel The AGCO e3™ technology in the AGCO POWER 9.8-liter, seven-cylinder engine provides outstanding fuel efficiency compared to other Class 7 and Class 8 combines. Advanced e3 clean-air technology minimizes fluid costs by varying the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) rate based on real-time emission measurements. Horsepower ratings at 2,100 rpm for the 540C is 370 HP (276 kW) with an unloading boost of 426 HP (318 kW) and ratings for the 560C are 460 HP (343 kW) with an unloading boost of 502 HP (374 kW), respectively.
Fuel efficiency gets even better by turning this impressive power plant 90 degrees, so the engine is in-line with the rotor. As a result, 500C Series combines achieve an engine-to-rotor transfer efficiency that tops 90 percent. In-line engine positioning offers several other advantages, including requiring fewer moving parts, which reduces servicing needs and downtime.
The new engine alignment also makes room for the V-Cool™ cooling system, which draws air into the system from the cleanest part of the machine — at the top of the combine. The V-Cool system is designed with a variable-speed, reversing fan, which blows chaff and dirt off the inlet screen. The "smart" V-cool system measures ambient air temperature, as well as temperatures of machine functions, then operates at the optimum speed needed to maintain proper cooling. This reduces power and fuel needs, especially on cooler fall days. And because the cooling elements are not stacked, as found on conventional designs, chaff is not trapped between coolers. This virtually eliminates the need for cleaning the cooling elements during the harvest season.
Standard, optional features to enhance performance With the growing popularity of navigation systems, Challenger 500C Series combines will arrive on dealer lots guidance-ready from the factory. Optional Nightbreaker™ HID and LED lighting puts plenty of attention where it is needed during late hours in the field. A heated and cooled operator's seat provides extra comfort on both cool fall days as well as warmer days earlier in the harvest season. Factory-installed video-ready options for up to four Ag Cam® cameras help the operator monitor hard-to-see areas for convenience and safety.
The Challenger 500C combines will be on display and in the field at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, and at Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, Neb. For more information about these combines, see your local Challenger dealer or visit www.Challenger-ag.com.

ThinkEquity starts Novadaq at buy
March 19, 2012 by stephenkilmer · Leave a Comment
ThinkEquity has initiated coverage of Novadaq Technologies (NASDAQ:NVDQ; TSX:NDQ) with a "buy" rating and $11 price target. The stock closed at $6.76 on Monday.
"We view Novadaq's SPY Imaging technology platform to be an innovation that addresses currently unmet medical needs in the field of open and minimally invasive surgery (MIS)," writes analyst Spencer Nam.
"With four sales and distribution partnerships with major US medical device companies, we expect Novadaq's revenues to ramp up rapidly once it launches its own solution for MIS in 2012," he added.
Novadaq's partnerships with Intuitive Surgical, KCI, LifeCell and MAQUET were all signed within 24 months of each other, which indicates "how attractive the established medical technology companies view the SPY Imaging technology," Mr. Nam said.
"We expect Novadaq's upcoming direct launch of its PINPOINT endoscope in 2012 to impact the market significantly, and the technology could turn into a must-have for general surgeons," he added.
Mr. Nam predicted Novadaq's annual revenue could grow to $118.6 million in 2016 from $15.6 million in 2011, which "could represent some of the fastest potential revenue growth in the entire medical devices sector." He also suggested that Novadaq could become profitable in 2013.
"We believe our price target of $11 could be conservative" he said, adding that he "wouldn't be surprised if our target were reached in the next six to nine months."

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

Omak — Stampede town
OMAK — Walk down Omak's Main Street and it's quickly evident that you're in a town stuck in a frontier time — a time when cowboys and American Indians ambled into town for refreshment and entertainment after a dusty day chasing cattle on the range, felling trees in the woods or nurturing apples in surrounding orchards.
Omak was just waking up from a quiet, snowy winter nap when I took the 100-mile drive from Wenatchee to linger for a few hours at the end of February. Temperatures soared to the 50s for the first time this year. Snow was receding from local parks, and there were lots of people wandering through town with smiles on their faces. A couple of bundled-up men sat drinking sodas and smoking at a cement picnic table in front of a giant mural of the town's famed Suicide Race — horse-mounted riders racing down the side of a mountain next to an Indian encampment along the Okanogan River, painted on the side of a building. Inside the building, a foursome of Colville tribal members took a warmer point of view as they sat on a couch in a thrift store soaking up the sun and gazing out the window at light traffic on the street.

Ozy might also want to be counting the shadows…
If I was Ozy . I would say shut up.! This is not a Markiplier channel on You Tube.
Or maybe there are REAL horrors up there….extra chores…a ton of homework…maybe even a TV that shows nothing but re-runs of Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo…..
Millie's bored. Just trying to liven things up a bit Ozy.
Veteran said yesterday:
"AND what are you doing here????"
I never leave a question hanging. To answer yours from yesterday, I've been reading this strip for a month now. Ozy & Millie is created by Dana Simpson, creator of the other kid friendly strip, Heavenly Nostrils about a little girl who's best friend is a unicorn. This strip (Ozy & Millie)
was made years before she started on Heavenly Nostrils.
I have read the first three years of O & M before it came to Gocomics. Now I get to comment and see others comment. I love this.
It has a different flavor from "Heavenly Nostrils" and it should. This one can be funny, silly, serious and habit forming.
"Ozy & Millie" lasted from 1998-2012!
Josh, Night-Gaunt49
I too came across this recently. It is really humorous.
I read Heavenly too.
@ Night-Gaunt49: Actually, it ran from 1997 to 2008.
Hording IS his job…That and a lot of nonsensical stuff that would only make sense to a dragon…

The Department of Veterans Affairs wants to spend more money in 2015 on information technology, but will another $180 million – a 5 percent increase to $4.03 billion – be enough to shore up VA's highly publicized IT vulnerabilities?
That was one of the chief concerns lawmakers voiced March 13 at a budget hearing before the House Veterans Affairs Committee, in part because members have continually pressed VA's leading IT officials over the last 18 months to fix IT security shortcomings that have led to multiple data breaches and compromised VA networks.
Based on its budget request, VA is making a concerted financial effort to improve its IT security posture, requesting $156 million for fiscal 2015, or $33 million more than it is spending in fiscal 2014.
"Will that amount finally assist VA in addressing numerous deficiencies we've brought to VA's attention?" asked Indiana Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski.
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki handed the question off to Stephen Warren, CIO and executive in charge of VA's Office of Information Technology, who asserted that it would -- but offered no further explanation.
Veterans Affairs and its subcommittees have made more than 10 formal requests for information regarding VA IT security woes since October, and Warren has responded only once. That response answered an Oct. 22 letter, but was deemed insufficient by committee members, a Capitol Hill source said. In total, VA has more than 110 outstanding requests for information on the same subject matter from Congress since June 2012.
The requested influx of cash for VA's IT security might speak louder than words, though.
The boost includes modest funding increases for VA's cybersecurity program, Network Operations Center, privacy program, business continuity and security operations center support. The largest jump in funding under VA's information security spending would go to support mobile applications and wireless security. That component was not previously funded as a distinct line item, but the fiscal 2015 budget requests $25 million. Comparatively, VA would spend $45.4 million on cybersecurity and $45 million on its Network Operations Center.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Yeah, give warren more money, that sure will solve the problem. it goes from Warren to Tibbits in one swift move, the providers in VA get nothing, and it was like the VA never got the money. So more money is always welcome, but making sure Tibbits doesn't get it will be the key to making sure it get put to good use. Just ask VHA, they know what they're getting isn't what they're asking for, and what Paul does with it needs to be looked into.
Readers should take note of what Cloud 10 wrote.
110 requersts for info from Congress outstanding since 2012 and Warren is still there. His boss passes a question on and all he can say is yes it will. No details and no proof of why this unnamed solution will work. Is this not the same Warren that was the person who approved of an andut that found him the cause of most of the IT and employee issues SEVERAL years ago? Clearly there have been no improvements and as tech progresses and VA does not, it is actually falling further behind. The $30M question becomes why is that man still in his position? Clearly he is an abject failure who is collecting a very large paycheck at taxpayers' expense.
I spent several unproductive years dealing with the VA's crack security group, who were mostly a bunch of useless paper pushers who only wanted to see tickets punched rather than actually making things better. Save the $30 million and spend it on something productive, like veteran benefits.
No amount of money that congress would be entertain giving OIT could possibly be enough to get VA's security posture right and keep up with VHA's and VBA's desires. As long as Warren is leading the way there's no logical reason to conclude anything but anecdotal and cosmetic progress will be made in any of the areas of security and customer service. From what I can tell Warren has not clue what my VISN is doing and he and his group of leaders aren't asking us or asking VHA or VBA. At this point there are so many key senior positions filled with people who are either rumored to be on the bubble or rumored to be on their way out that it's amazing to think congress would agree to any increases until those positions are more stable. I know most are praying Warren is the first to go.

BANGALORE: India's IT companies, which hired approximately 1.5 lakh students from campuses last year, will be hiring much less during this placement season starting August-September.
Country's third-largest software exporter Wipro, which had planned to keep the ratio of on-campus and off-campus hiring at 90:10 in the beginning of the year, has now changed it to 70:30, a senior executive from the Bangalore-based company said. "We will hire in a measured way till we get more (demand) visibility and increase off-campus numbers," the executive added.

MF Global's Structure, Size Softens Bankruptcy's Market Impact
By Christian Berthelsen and Jerry Dicolo
MF Global Holdings Ltd.'s bankruptcy filing Monday has prevented some trading but largely has not created havoc in the financial markets.
CME Group Inc. and IntercontinentalExchange Inc. halted trading by MF Global employees. The exchanges also said traders who used MF Global to clear their trades would be limited to liquidating their positions until new clearing arrangements were made.
Market participants said trading volumes are down in several markets—including crude and soft commodities like coffee and cocoa—as some traders are forced to sit on the sidelines until they find a new clearing firm.
The lack of market upheaval may stem from the fact that while MF Global wanted to become an investment bank, it remains firmly rooted in the plain-vanilla brokerage business.
For all of Chief Executive Jon Corzine's efforts to launch a trading shop within MF Global in the last year, proprietary trading remains a very small portion of its overall business. Its main business remains as a simple broker and trade clearinghouse, matching buyers and sellers of futures, options and other securities. In that area, clients' funds are protected from risk taken on by the firm's trading operations.
Because of that distinction, the company's problems have not gripped the markets the same way as the collapse of Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. did. MF Global filed for bankruptcy protection after an effort to sell itself to Interactive Brokers Group Inc. failed.
Of the company's $500 million in revenue in its most recent quarter, roughly three-quarters came from commissions for brokering trades between other parties, while just $12 million came from trades for its own book.
In MF Global's brokerage business, its clients are protected because most trades go through clearinghouses, which act as a financial backstop to ensure contracts are honored.
As a brokerage, clients post margins to trade through MF Global, and their accounts are segregated from the firm's trading operations. MF Global, as a futures clearing merchant, isn't allowed to risk that capital in its proprietary-trading business anyway.
Also compared with Bear Stearns and Lehman, MF Global is tiny. Its market capitalization at the beginning of the year was just $1.4 billion. Lehman and Bear were bulge-bracket investment banks with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets and capital under management.
MF Global has a balance sheet of just $41 billion, with $1.6 billion in short- and long-term debts and $12 billion in payables to customers.
"My instinct is that it's very different from Lehman," said Peter Bakstansky, a former senior vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. "The thing that made Lehman important is the amount of money it had interconnected at risk with other people….The interconnections were just massive, hundreds of billions of dollars, and I doubt MF Global has anything like that."
As a result, there is little systemic risk because only a few counterparties have exposure to MF Global. That likely precludes any large disruptions in the markets. Even the size of the brokerage's bet on sovereign debt, while large for a firm of MF Global's size, could easily be absorbed by larger banks on the other side of those trades.

Post subject: Panicking at 38
I'm needing some advise, reassurance, tips to chill out! I'm 38 and recently had a miscarriage, my partner and I hadn't been trying, however we hadn't exactly been careful, however I miscarried at 5 weeks and 4 days, we are now trying to conceive, it has made me feel really broody where I didn't before, we had decided we wanted kids but were thinking of trying next year, as I said the miscarriage has changed that. I am now panicking that I have left it too late and worried not only that I won't fall pregnant again, that I will also miscarry again, I don't want to feel like this, I want to be able to relax and let things happen but can't seem to stop panicking about it, can anyone offer any advice on what I could do?

There's so much to review in the mobile industry. We need to see who among the phone manufacturers are selling, as well as, which mobile carrier has more subscribers. T-Mobile is on top of the game now but Verizon is quick to match its success with new mobile subscribers. Verizon gets 1.6 million customers just last Q4. This is probably because of the fast-expanding LTE network plus more LTE-capable smartphones, tablets, and laptops being offered.
Verizon's LTE network now covers about 97 percent of the population in the US. Here are some more highlights in Q4 2013:
- $1.76 in earnings per share (EPS)
- 66 cents in adjusted EPS (non-GAAP)
- 8.0 percent year-over-year increase in service revenues in 4Q 2013;
- 1.7 million retail net additions
- 4G LTE service now available to 305 million people, 500 markets across the U.S.With all these increase in numbers, Verizon Wireless can expect a better 2014.

Free Online Education Courses
You don't need to pay a lot of money to receive a high-quality education. There are lots of online resources that allow students to gain new knowledge and skills, for both personal fulfillment and career advancement, at little or no cost. Many top-ranked universities and colleges provide free online courses, or MOOCs, with the belief that making knowledge and education accessible to as many people as possible provides big benefits to us all.
What Are MOOCs?
"MOOC," or Massive Open Online Course, is the general term given to any free courses offered on the Internet. The quality and content of MOOCs varies depending on the institution, but many include recorded lectures, reading material, and quizzes and tests. Taking these classes is a fantastic way to learn about a variety of subjects, but there are a few drawbacks: The vast majority of free online classes do not offer college credit, certifications, or degrees; some courses do not have much depth; some reading material may need to be purchased; and those who take MOOCs usually don't have the opportunity to interact with classmates or faculty.
These things may change as MOOCs become more prevalent, but for now, MOOCs can't be considered as a substitute for traditional or online degree programs. This means that just because you went through the lecture notes for a course from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) through its OpenCourseWare (OCW) program, it doesn't mean that you can tell employers that you attended MIT, nor will you receive any kind of academic recognition for it. OCW courses are designed primarily to enhance your personal enrichment.
Here are some of the most popular MOOC providers:
What Is OpenCourseWare?
Many universities and colleges share courses through a program called OpenCourseWare (OCW). The OCW Consortium is comprised of universities, colleges, and other associated organizations who participate in and are committed to advancing OCW. The OCW Consortium website has a link to OCW websites grouped by language, which in addition to English, includes languages from Arabic to Urdu. Students may also search for courses by subject, language, and institution. Browsing through the list of courses available in English pulled up a total of 4,486 as of March 2013. Registration is not required to access these courses.
These are a few examples of some of the higher education institutions offering free online courses through OCW:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers free online courses alongside informative articles about new discoveries that will affect different educational subjects. Reflecting the university's focus on technological, scientific, and research areas, many of MIT's free online courses are in science and technology subjects. Some of the courses available as of March 2013 include thermal energy, intro to aerospace engineering and design, communication systems engineering, and logistical and transportation planning methods. Students interested in the humanities and social sciences also have courses available to them. Free humanities and social science courses include American urban history, classics in Western philosophy, rethinking the family, and feminist political thought.
Tufts University: Tufts University's OCW courses are concentrated mainly in the life sciences. All of the school's departments offer free online introductory courses and include seminars and other educational resources. Available courses as of March 2013 include topics such as geriatric dentistry, agricultural science and policy, law and veterinary medicine, and international multilateral negotiation. Materials vary with each course but may include lectures, slides, and supplementary material.
University of Notre Dame: The University of Notre Dame often publishes materials from its traditional courses and makes it available to OCW students. Published material comes from many different core subjects, such as sociology, theology, writing, history, philosophy, mathematics, English, classics, architecture, computer applications, anthropology, and mechanical engineering.
Can I Take Free Online Courses From Any Other Institutions?
Yes, there are also many universities and colleges that provide free online education courses outside of OCW. Here are just some of the options:
Carnegie Mellon University: Carnegie Mellon University's Open Learning Initiative offers a rotating list of several courses for free. Some of the current open courses as of March 2013 include biochemistry, logic, media programming, and statistical reasoning. Students may open a free account to save their work, or they may choose enter the course without an account. Courses are presented in lecture-style presentations, divided by chapters or units, which students click through as they progress. Some courses include additional resources.
Stanford University: Stanford University offers free courses through an iTunes application. This iTunes U app allows students to access an archive of audio recordings and videos. Course material includes lectures, presentations, school highlights, and music. The school offers a wide variety of core subjects through this unique technology.
University of California, Berkeley: The University of California has a wide variety of free courses. Many have been recorded as video and uploaded onto YouTube, while others have been made into audio files for iTunes. There are so many free classes available that they provide an online search option for those interested in a specific subject. Some of the subjects include Japanese, journalism, legal studies, history, psychology, anthropology, economics, geography, physics, philosophy, and engineering.
University of Washington: The University of Washington has a small sampling of free online courses available in the subjects of art and history, such as the American Revolution, the American Civil War, World War II, Greek mythology, the history of jazz, Shakespeare's comedies, Hamlet, Gulliver's travels, and the works of Tolkien. Science and computer courses consist of HTML basics and energy, diet, and weight classes. Course lectures and material are mostly given in text format.
- Yale University: Yale University wants to create critical thinkers and foster student imagination through their free material. The free courses at Yale University cover a wide variety of introductory subjects traditionally taught at the school, such as economics, history, physics, religious studies, clinical science, astronomy, chemistry, and American studies. Lectures and classes are recorded and made available online, and learning formats include video, audio, and text transcripts.

Item #0235
100 days. Is it a piece of art or an alien creature? Romanesco is neither — and it's not actually a broccoli. Even more confusing, it's sometimes incorrectly called broccoflower in grocery stores. First noted by Italians in the 16th century, it is now catching the eyes of gourmet chefs as a new and different vegetable. It grows like a cauliflower with a 5" - 6" lime green, spiraled head composed of many small, pointed florets. When cooked, Romanesco has a delicious nutty flavor and a tender, creamy texture similar to a blend of cauliflower and asparagus.
This packet sows nine 10-foot rows.
Days to Emerge:

Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost or as soon as soil can be worked. Also, in late summer for fall harvest. In mild winter climates, can be sown in late fall for winter, early spring harvest.
When to start inside: 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost.
Harvesting: Harvest heads as soon as they have developed and reach 5"-6" in diameter. Head should be firm and solid. Cut at the base where it connects with the stem using a sharp knife. Remove entire plant after harvest since it will not produce side shoots like true broccoli.

Bank of America's Looming Cuts Come Amid International Progress
Bank of America's investment bank is in for some pain, even as it has finally started making progress on its international ambitions.
WSJ colleagues Dan Fitzpatrick and Dana Cimilluca report on the latest round of cuts looming over the operations this morning: about 2,000 jobs will be cut in investment banking, commercial banking and non-U.S. wealth-management units, said people familiar with the situation.
Bank of America investors and analysts have been eagerly awaiting the cuts, which have been expected to save some $3 billion in annual expenses. (Phase I targeted $5 billion, but the bank has always said not to expect that to be replicated in the leaner capital markets operations.)
The stock was up 2.7% to $8.33 in recent trading, in line with its peers.
Bank of America is not alone in needing to cut costs, and therefore bankers, as profits have become harder to come by. Employees at Bank of America have risen from 210,000 in 2007 to 282,000 as of the end of last year.
But the cuts are coming as BofA works to strengthen its global presence. Last year BofA's investment bank made its most significant gains in the international league-tables since the Merrill acquisition.
As it has been since the 2009 merger, Bank of America-Merrill Lynch was No. 2 by global investment banking revenues in 2011, according to Dealogic, a data provider. While it relinquished a one-year hold on the top spot in the U.S. to J.P. Morgan, BofA-Merrill Lynch climbed to No. 7 in Europe and No. 6 in Asia Pacific.
So far in the light 2012, BofA-Merill has maintained its No. 2 ranking both globally and in the U.S., and has continued rising to No. 5 in Europe, though it has slipped to No. 10 in Asia Pacific.
In 2008, before the two were combined, Merrill Lynch ranked No. 3 in global investment banking revenue, while Bank of America was tenth. Combined the two would have just edged out J.P. Morgan that year in terms of revenue.
In 2009, their first year together, BofA-Merrill Lynch finished the year No. 2 in both global and U.S. investment banking revenues, still trailing J.P. Morgan in both. Internationally, the bank still struggled though: it came in tenth in Europe and outside the top 10 in Asia Pacific.
In 2010, BofA snagged the top spot from J.P. Morgan in the U.S. But once again took the silver medal to Jamie Dimon's bank globally, thanks to its performance overseas. Internationally, BofA ranked No. 7 in Asia Pacific, and fell out of the top 10 in Europe.
Continuing the progress is key to Bank of America's vision, and the reason it bought Merrill in the first place, which means the looming cuts have to walk a fine line to maintain that progress.

Free Agency Preview: 5 Rumors Too Crazy To Be Believed
By: Kim O'Hara | Posted: March 08, 2013
Tired of hearing us gripe about the excruciatingly dull offseason? You're in luck. As free agency will descend upon is in a mere four days, we at TFG have stumbled upon some of the wildest gossip you'll encounter before all the transactions go down. As a favor to our readers, we've narrowed down the five most intriguing rumors we've come across this week. But when all these stories break next Tuesday, please be sure to tell all your friends you heard 'em here first. We'd hate to lose out on credit for these juicy scoops.
In ascending order of awesomeness, here you have them:
5) Ray Lewis is not retiring. In fact, the veteran linebacker is going to sign a new, one-year deal with Baltimore. Lewis was overheard (by everyone in a three mile radius) exuberantly detailing the wonder and whimsy of his farewell tour, though he oddly neglected to mention anything about the Super Bowl. Lewis thought it was such an incredible journey, he's decided he'd like to do it again each season.
4) Patriots receiver Wes Welker has decided to test the waters of free agency because he'd like "to prove, once and for all, that Tom Brady would be nothing without me". It's a pretty bold statement, and in diametric opposition to what just about every football pundit has suggested in recent weeks. When asked about Welker's brash statements, head coach Bill Belichick couldn't help but crack that famous Belichick grin. "That's Wes for ya," he giggled, before turning somewhat grave. "He's got a point, though. This ship would sink without him."
3) With an extra $30 million to shell out and a gaping hole at cornerback, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers intend to acquire three top cornerbacks available in free agency. Once they've snapped up the likes of Atlanta's Brent Grimes, Miami's Sean Smith and possibly Detroit's Chris Houston or Pittsburgh's Keenan Lewis, the Buccaneers will organize a (death-free, of course) Hunger Games-esque competition between the three men. Tampa Bay's front office, acknowledging fledgling ticket sales and tepid fan interest, will leave the results of the cornerback competition in the hands of the fans. The Buccaneers believe the ploy will be "win-win", citing the popularity of shows such as "American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, that special episode of Hawaii Five-O... the public loves to feel like it's involved in important decision-making. Why not chime in on our next starting corner?"
2) Everyone knows Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace is a legitimate speedster. What few fans realize, however, is that Wallace is a massive LeBron James fan. His admiration for King James is so deeply entrenched, Wallace has decided to follow in the reigning MVP's footsteps. That's right. Wallace will be taking his talents to South Beach. But the receiver, deemed the most valuable free agent by NFL.com, will take his James imitation one step further by hosting his own version of "The Decision". In a marked twist, when the people of Pittsburgh learned of Wallace's intentions, they surprisingly veered away from feelings of anger or betrayal, going so far as to offer assistance in organizing the spectacle.
1) The Dallas Cowboys have a glaring, desperate need on the offensive line. Due to imposed cap-related sanctions, Dallas has minimal capital to make any moves to address the issue. But owner-general manager Jerry Jones is still targeting the likes of Miami's Jake Long, New England's Sebastian Vollmer and Cincinnati's Andre Smith. The consummate businessman is prepared to offer the fulltime services of his son-in-law/personal glasses cleaner to any player willing to help bolster his "sieve of an offensive line".

Curio shelf with carved red lacquer patterns of auspiciousness in the mid Qing Dynasty
Duobaoge (Treasure Box)
Tea Table (Chaji)
Stoves and Warmers (ńü½ńéē Huolu)
This shelf is made of lacquered wood. Built exquisitely, it is a decorative piece to be placed on the table or kang (traditional bed of North China). With alternating surface heights, the shelf has three layers of bright cases, a pair of drawers and a small cabinet door, each available for the preservation of different objects. The whole shelf is ornamented in the texture of brocade. On one side is carved the pattern of "peony flowers (symbolizing riches and honor)". On both the front and reverse sides of the small cabinet door are sculptured patterns symbolizing auspiciousness and festivity. Judging by the patterns, it must have been an object used by a scholar, high official or noble descendent as an ornamental piece on the table or whatever place.
