Aging and Engaging

The conversation heats up as author Frank McCourt protests the idea of volunteerism. "Get paid!" he demands. Nikki Giovanni and Larry Gelbart have their own takes. All can agree, though, that staying engaged and productive is the only way to live.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Bay County authorities say they have ruled the death of a Georgia man who was pulled from the water during a weekend triathlon an accidental drowning.
Patrick Kane died at a hospital shortly after he was pulled from the Gulf of Mexico during the Gulf Coast Triathlon on Saturday.
Jeff Martin -- the office director for the Bay County Medical Examiner's Office -- says the agency classified the death as an accidental drowning after the 38-year-old's family requested an autopsy not be conducted.

Hello everybody!
It's a great pleasure to me to present several ships of the Imperial Fleet to you today. I have saved this batch of mini models up until I finally was able to take photos of the newest, yet unpublished model. It will be revealed today - the Victory Star Destroyer. This also gave me the chance to completely redesign several older models to newer standards (like the Dreadnaught and Interdictor Cruiser) as well as improve older models with some modifications (for example the Star Destroyer).
Let's start with the summary image, beginning with the ships from the movies, then continuing with the ships appearing in the Thrawn Trilogy and concluding with two ships from the Dark Empire comic series.
This will be a very long post, so pelase be patient with me. As usual the images provided below will take you to the rleated image gallery and building instructions. I will only provide one image per ship this time. All other are in the galleries of course.
The most famous ship of the Empire and the backbone of the Imperial navy is without any doubt the Imperial Star Destroyer. For the design I went for a compact wedge plate layout instead of the today more popular attachment of plates around a hollow core which gets uaually a bit fat for small scales. It comes complete with equatorial trench, triple engines, detailed command tower and both hangar bays on the underside as well as the power generator.
More massive and bristling with weapons is the gargantuan Super Star Destroyer. It has a similar wedge shape, a very popular shape in the Imperial Navy. It is not to scale with the Star Destroyer above for size reasons. The model features the huge hangar bay on the underside as well as the accurate engine block with 13 thrusters.
Now let's go on with one of my most favourite Expanded Universe starships. The Victory Star Destryoer (reference link). It's a ship of the Old Republic. Unfortunately my hopes to see one of those in the prequel movies was not fulfilled. It's a slightly smaller Star Destroyer predecessor, capable of atmospheric flight. This model now is roughly to scale with the bigger Star Destroyer and the smaller Interdictor Cruiser (follows below).
Imperial Star Destroyer, Victory Star Destroyer and Interdictor Cruiser roughly to scale with each other.
Another ship from the Old Republic is the Dreadnaught Battlecruiser (reference link). It was once one of the most powerful ships in the Imperial Navy. Many of these ships got lost in a hyperspace accident - the mysterious Katana Fleet which was later discovered (Thrawn Trilogy). Some of these ships were also converted to the well-known Rebel Assault Frigate (to scale with the Dreadnaught).
Used to drag out starships from hyperspace, Interdictor Cruisers (reference link) have four gravity-well projectors integrated in their wedge-shaped hull. Typical design features are the four spherical projectors and the triangular bridge tower. Both characteristics were intergrated into the model. It uses TECHNIC® beams in the middle so that we have stud notched on upper AND underside allowing us to add boat studs from both sides to imply spherical gravity-well projectors.
A slightly smaller ship is the Strike Medium Cruiser (reference link), one of the few Imperial ships that has besides the usual TIE fighte complement also a small ground force of walkers. It has a very light shell with greebly decks below it. It was very hard to design, especially the way to attache the bridge tower. The shape increases by half-stud-steps from two (front) to four (rear) studs.
Imperial star systems which are not important enough to justify the presence of an Imperial Star Destroyer usually have at least a Carrack Light Cruiser (reference link). It's a very fast ship but has no internal TIE fighter capacity. It has one of the biggest bridge windows I ever saw for an Imperial warship. I did an experiment with this one and used a Throwbot/Slicer cockpit for this vessel. Opinions usually vary a lot on this design. Many may like it, but many do not.
Designed after the Battle of Yavin, the Lancer Frigate (reference link) is a starship made only for anti-starfighter-combat. The Empire realized its need after desaster of small Rebel starfighters destroying the Death Star. It costs as much as an Imperial Star Destroyer, as the advanced targeting systems are highly complex, and thus these ships were always rare. It has no capital ship weapons and relies on other capital ships to protect it from Rebel cruisers.
The design is one of the trickiest in my collection. It has a lot of SNOT-techniques, for example the wedge bricks to get the optimal shape for the unique nose of the ship.
Designed as an armed transport or Escort frigate, the Star Galleon (reference link) can hold its own against attackers. It was armed with turbolasers and missile launchers, had troops and variable anti-intruder walls in the inside. Furthermore the cargo pos was detachable and hyperspace capable, so the goods would escape even if the ship was lost. The bricked model does also feature this removable cargo pod and is quite snotty in the rear.
To bring additional starfighter forces into a combat scene, the Empire used Escort Carriers (reference link), capable of holding an entire TIE fighter wing. This mini model is one of the few which comes with an interior layout. It has flight control and TIE fighter racks in the inside. The oustide features the greebly forward section with decks and hangar door.
For various mission profiles (observation, survey, hospital, ...) the Empire developped the Modular Taskforce Cruiser (reference link). It was able to hold different modules for the corresponding mission profile. The front section is pretty straight forward, but the rear section is completely studs down, to get the sloped details of the command pod.
The last, and probably most dangerous ship for today is the Eclipse Super Star Destroyer (reference link), a 17.5 kilometer long beast even featuring a superlaser. It's midnight black and menacing looking. The mini model uses many wedges to realize the sleek, shiny and dark look. It also uses SNOT to get the wedge bricks on the underside attached.
So, with more than one hour preparing this post, I am done for today. I hope you liked the Imperial Fleet so far. It's not complete yet, but it gives a general impression of its variety.
Thank you for your time, interest, and patience.
Have a great day and see you around!
Yours Christopher.

3 Ways where CD Keys Are Helping Video game Developers and Publishers to eliminate Piracy
Peer-to-Peer networks and different other web portals have actually been infamous for contributing to piracy of video games. Developers and publishers spend a great deal of time and money for coming up with the most recent video games. Years of research study, development, imagination and efforts are needed to construct a video game that attracts the fans. The investment is normally in the order of millions of dollars. The least that the designers expect is their fair share in the income made by the video games.
But piracy appears to interrupt all of that. Developers have actually needed to merely enjoy their effort go to waste as people made unlawful copies of the video games and offered it with unauthorized keys that were quite easy to replicate by anybody who had the right tools and simply the right amount of technical understanding.
And just when things were getting worse, the games were given CD keys that were not just platform specific, but likewise particular for each copy of the video game. Now this made it absolutely hard for the games to be subjected to piracy. And with the advancements in web technologies, these secrets are now not only utilized for accessing the video game, however they are also made use of for downloading the games for consoles and desktop platforms that have cloud services. Have a look at the following advantages of CD secrets which remain in truth assisting video game designers to combat piracy.
CD Keys are Specific to Every Copy of the Game
Video game publishers/ developers are using sophisticated keys that are not just extremely certain to each copy of the video game but they are likewise lined up to the particular platform that works with the video game. Moreover, with the games now being offered on cloud services, you need to get genuine serial codes for downloading the video game. This has removed the possibility of piracy substantially.
Keys Once Activated Can Never Be Used Again
The one-time use function was readily available for previous video games also, however the possibility of using it as a base for restoring matching keys or virtually suitable keys was very much existent. There was likewise a possibility that a certain serial code might work for another copy of the video game. Now, CD crucial suppliers have carried out rigid quality checks, where every single secret that they acquire from the publisher is verified for authenticity before it is dispatched.
Numerous Additional Perks are Provided Along with CD Keys
By offering value included benefits such as reduced Downloadable Contents, period passes and help in inquiries, CD vital companies are encouraging individuals to support authentic serial codes. Such advantages can never ever be provided to those who have actually merely ripped the secrets from some online forum or portal on the net.
Pc gaming is fun and attracts the interest of a great deal of people, but it can be made more fun if you get the actual thing with all the perks and advantages. It may appear rather irrelevant, however if you consider the perspective of the video game designers, then the codes have the capacity of having a major positive impact on the revenue that they earn from the sales. This is a great step to battling piracy and offering gamers the experience that they deserve.

I upgraded from 1.9.x to 2.0.x. At the moment it look like the most is working.
However, I have only one problem. I read the following "◾Changed: Displayed galleries are no longer rendered in RSS feeds" and looked to my RSS Feed and found the missing pictures.
Is there a way to enable that needed feature?
At the moment people are thinking that there are no pictures in the article, because there are no one rendered for RSS feed. There is also no placeholder... which would be also Ok for me, but nothing is really bad.

By Matthew Rudy
Teaching tour players has its glamorous moments, but this week Chris Como is seeing the other side of being out on the road with Aaron Baddeley, Jamie Lovemark and Richard Lee for most of June. Back at home, at Gleaneagles Country Club in Plano, TX, he has a full day of lessons scheduled for the Fourth of July to catch up on his local student backlog. The 2013 Golf Digest Best Young Teacher took a breath on his way back from the Quicken Loans National to choose a handful of reader-submitted swings to review for our #HelpMeGolfDigest project.
The first comes from a powerful player, @aminces, via Instagram. Andrea has a terrific swing and compresses the ball, but could produce more consistent contact with a few adjustments.
"This is a really good swing, but it has one of the misconceptions I see a lot—that you have to consciously hit down on the ball to produce solid contact," says Como. "With the best players, the clubhead is definitely moving down at impact, but the left shoulder, left hip and hands are actually moving up. The way to incorporate that is to focus on lower body motion. As you clear through the shot, feel like you're pushing out of the ground with your feet. Players like Bubba Watson and Patrick Reed are actually almost jumping as they hit the ball. Twist your lower body and really push up with that right leg."
Reader @woodfordneat submitted his swing video shot from an unconventional angle Como likes to see because it reveals backswing problems that can be hidden in face-on or down-the-line views. Vin can start hitting powerful draws with a simple arm drill.
"Vin's upper right arm is working behind his body, and it's causing him to throw the club out early in the downswing," says Como. "You need to feel lie your upper arm stays in front of your torso, which will left the club come down from a shallower, more inside path. An easy drill to get that feel is to make some right-hand-only swings while holding onto your right tricep with your left hand. Don't let the right arm move backward."
The last swing comes from reader @1130Jason, who posted a video of 8-year-old Megan—a self-described Lexi Thompson fan. A grip adjustment will make her development go much more smoothly.
"It's really important for junior players to start out with a grip that lets them hit the ball successfully," says Como, who is finishing up his master's degree in biomechanics. "The wrong grip can set you back from the start. Megan's looks like it's across the palm of her left hand, and her right hand is really around and underneath. That could be because the club doesn't fit her properly and she's trying to control it. In a good grip, the handle runs more horizontal across the left hand on the knuckle line. It can run more diagonally in the right hand, but that hand needs to be more to the side of the handle."
Keep sending in hashtagged #HelpMeGolfDigest videos via Instagram or Twitter and you could see your swing here soon.

There are few if any protections for the elderly and it is against the law to help a child under the age of 16, but that same minor if escorted can drink alcohol with you in your hotel room or home.
The other item that you should be aware of before moving here is that the Home Associations have a lot of power if you purchase a home. They are like Nazis. If the other homes don't have a swimming pool, you can't have one either. If they don't like your vehicle they can make you remove it. If you decide to trim the home you are purchsing in blue and the other homes are not blue they can actually take your home that YOU ARE paying for from you.
If you are renting look forward to snoopy landlords to enter your domicile or vehicle with master keys without notice or warrant and "look through" your possesions as if they own you and that you do not have any rights or protections Under the United States Constitution.
Forget about call the building inspectors if you live in Clark County and not the actual City of Las Vegas. You will have no protection as a renter either! Might I add take what they want including your personal information. People are wondering why there is so much Identity Theft. They can even get phoney court documents and attempt to make your life a living Hell if you do not kiss their collective butts.
It reminds me of the Borg from a science fiction program, "You will assimilate!" So be advised and take it to heart before moving to a Right To Work State!

Seeing how you do come from Palatine, Il, maybe your neighbors should enter your home, take what they want based on mistaken identity. Palatine, Illinois is known for Borg mentality too and apparently you are one of them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Well they Do here and nobody says a word

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2005POSTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2005
Unlike Illinois where employers pay you Workmen's Comp and wait to see if you are faking it or not, these find you guilty of trying to take advantage of them without a court trial.
You can also forget about Unemployment Compensation too. People who were granted Unemployment from other states and try to transfer those benefits here find themselves with nothing. Others trying to obtain Federal Food Stamps in emergency situation are turned to Catholic Charities. It is awful.
If that's not bad enough, people have been arrested in North Las Vegas for defacing hamburgers. It's a law on the books. Another stupid law they enforce is scattering birds. If you have ever walked down Michigan Avenue with all the pidgeons and they scatter, if you were here or in North Las Vegas, you would be arrested..This law maybe still posted in Dumb Laws.com for Nevada.
Peter Jennings did a story on the Master keys cetain entities have here to enter your domicile or vehicle.
That's why I posted this, so others wouldn't get trapped out here.

Issues? compensation to injured workers in a federal law
AUTHOR: Wj - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, July 25, 2005POSTED: Monday, July 25, 2005
For one thing, compensation to injured workers in a federal law, not a state law, and they can't ignore it.
Your whole complaint simply reeks of someone who simply has an axe to grind with state and civil authorities for some transgression, with all the issues you bring up, my mind reels with the possible scenarios your post suggests! It bares all the hallmarks of something that is intended to be internet rumor and nothing more. You spare no expense at all the juicy detail, but you are very short when it comes to verifiable facts.
The employer? The landlord? The co-op? All of these specific complaints should be filed in different sections of this site where they can be addressed individually, provided that you can provide names, dates, places, employers and landlords.
But that you haven't done so, seems to suggest that you like to operate outside the law, and the standards set by the community in which you chose to live. One situation you described sounded like a co-op or a town-house communtiy. When you live there, you sign on the dotted line and agree to live by their rules.
One thing you said that REALLY caught my eye; "If you are renting look forward to snoopy landlords to enter your domicile or vehicle with master keys without notice or warrant and "look through" your possesions"
How in the hell did your landlord get a master key to your vehicle?
If you look in the standard lease, the landlord reserves the right to come into your home to make sure that it is a home, and not a drug den, and to make sure that everything is in good repair, they may also do this if they believe that there are more people living there than are on the lease.
How did you come to believe that it was against the law to help a child?
If you want to be taken seriously, I mean JESUS! Your predicament is simply apocryphal! Be more specific with your allegations!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Skip to comments.AP: FBI Sent Hamas Money in Clinton Days
Posted on 10/06/2003 2:32:53 PM PDT by Dog
click here to read article
If that ain't the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
The counterterrorism operation in 1998 and 1999 was run out of the FBI's Phoenix office in cooperation with Israeli intelligence and was approved by Attorney General Janet Reno, FBI officials told The Associated Press.
I guess it wasn't enough for Janet Reno to be responsible for the deaths of Branch Davidian children, she had to get the blood of some Israelis on her shaky-assed hands as well. If this doesn't EPITOMIZE the foreign policy IDIOCY of the Clinton Administration, I don't know what does...
It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.
Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.
Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.
BOOM! Yep. I guess they used it for terror attacks...
Ellen testified the operation ended abruptly in early 1999 when he and Williams had a series of disagreements over the operation, disputes that began when Ellen angered the FBI by having an affair with a Chinese woman suspected of espionage.
Worlds are colliding, Jerry! Worlds are colliding!
Ellen testified that Williams told him he hoped the transfer would lead to more money exchanges through terror groups but Ellen refused to earmark money for terrorism. He testified he later learned another FBI operative had offered Hamas and Palestinian figures larger amounts for terrorist attacks
Unfreaking real!!
We could have Bush appoint him as a judge and impeach him from that position...
I wish they would funnel some money to me to see if I will use it to pay bills.
At least they didn't funnel it to Charles Manson to see if it would commit more mass murder. Which is different, how?
They ended it when the Chinese got wind of it...
Good Lord .. is this really true?
Middle East list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
Ellen's FBI handler in the late 1990s was Kenneth Williams, an agent who later became famous for writing a pre-Sept. 11 memo to FBI headquarters warning there were Arab pilots training at U.S. flight schools. The warning went unheeded.
LOL.......That's akin to giving them rifles to see they would use them to shoot Jews.
Arafat is featured in Forbes's special annual issue on the world's top 500 billionaires. Arafat placed No. 6 on a list of world leaders in the ''kings, queens, and despots''
Yes you were Sandy,we'll bet the farm you were. Though I understand Louis Freeh and Billy Jeff rarely talked, I sure would like someone to subpoena Mr. Freeh or force him to write a book on his Clinton years at the FBI. That would be special.

It is very stable, soaks up the intercoastal chop real well without feeling tippy. It is comfortable and easy to climb in and out of which is nice for an older rookie. It has tons of storage and tie down options. I'm a big guy, almost 300lbs and this thing doesn't even flinch when I'm on it. It's rated at 500lbs and I have not doubt it could handle that and more. The only downside is that i can find is that it's kinda heavy, 65lbs, so it can be tough to handle by yourself but it is not impossible. And as other reviewers have said the tracking is a bit wayward at times. But it's nothing a little effort can't correct and hey, this is a sport. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. If A comfortable ride and super stable platform with high carrying capacity are your main bullet points, you can't go wrong. August 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Paul34 Awesome Kayak I have been searching and reviewing kayaks for the last few months. This one did not really pop on my radar till a few days ago when I thought my mind was set on a different one. MAN AM I GLAD I KEPT LOOKING. Not only did this meet the weight capacity I was looking for and size it beat the price point. I picked mine up yesterday and have had it out on the water a total of about 6 hours 3 hours the afternoon I purchased and again today for another 3 trying both lake and small creek waters. I am a big guy about 6.1 300 pounds this kayak will hold me plus a ton of gear. I was quite pleased with the stability of it and the way it cut through the water. It rides high on water without being tippy. And I was nervous about in flow through the scupper holes no need to worry the only water I have gotten in boat is from feet getting out or dripping from my paddles. All in all this kayak is begging to hit the water. Add a padded aftermarket seat though because the only chief complaint I have is the molded seat has no padding. Other than that cannot complain at all. Add paddle and a pfd and your ready for endless enjoyment either fishing or just paddling around in the beauty that is the outdoors July 3, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5�by CJ Awesome kayak, especially for the price I've been a fisherman all my life and up until now have been using a canoe, usually with a buddy. This is my first kayak and for the most part I am extremely impressed and satisfied with my purchase. On the pro-side, she's an extremely stable kayak. I haven't tried standing up yet, but have had her tipped to the point where water was coming over the gunwale, and didn't even remotely feel like I was going over. The plastic that the hull is made of seems pretty tough, and from what I read is easily welded and repaired in the case of a puncture. She seems like a pretty tenacious vessel. The cockpit is very spacious -- I am a big guy (6'9'' tall), and my legs are comfy with my feet on the far forward footrests. I don't feel scrunched up at all. Being so tall, the upper seat isn't something I use too often, but when I do sit in it I have even more leg room - my feet reach the third or fourth molded footrest from the far forward one in this position. Along with being a big guy, I weigh 350 and have about 30 pounds of tackle when I'm fully loaded down (I usually travel lighter, but wanted to see how she'd handle a full complement), and she doesn't even seem to notice I'm there. Minimal water comes through the scupper holes, and even then they tend to just skim the scum and gunk off the top of the water, so for that reason I will be getting plugs...but water through the scuppers is to be expected regardless. There is a generous aft cargo well with bungee cords, as well as generous forward deck space with bungee cords -- I haven't had a problem with space for tackle and gear and I have a lot of it. I use the forward 8'' deck hatch to store an emergency paddle for now, but will probably be fitting it with a dry bag at some point. The aft cargo well even has a notch molded in that perfectly fits a standard 5 gallon bucket (think the orange ones from Home Depot), useful as a pseudo-livewell or a pretty effective bait well. The included starboard Scotty mount is an extremely nice touch, I love having a quick-draw option within arm's length for a rod, and there is even another mounting point molded into the gunwale directly across on the port side for another Scotty mount or other accessory. The body of the kayak allows many other flat points to mount various accessories as well -- I've already added a pair of starboard paddle clips. The included anchor and trolley are also great additions to the outfit, all you need is a paddle and a PFD and you're ready to fish! On the con side, the center hatch is pretty inaccessible when I'm in the lower seat. The rod holders seem a little flimsy for my freshwater gear -- the large diameter of the holes lets my rods kind of flop around and I worry they'll fall out (for now, I've zip-tied some foam pipe insulation to them as flotation in case this happens). She doesn't track very well -- when I stop paddling, I veer off to the left or right, I guess depending on her mood. With active paddling this isn't as much of an issue, as my form is getting better the more I go out. The seats could do with some padding, as well -- the hard plastic gets to your butt after a few hours on the water, and my back begins hurting after a few hours with the lack of a back rest for either seat. Either of these, though, are easily fixed with aftermarket accessories. The four-star rating is for these pretty minor design flaws from the factory, but overall I am very happy with this kayak. This purchase won't disappoint you if you're an angler, or even if you aren't, the Striker 115 (non-angler version without the Scotty mount, anchor, or trolley) would be an awesome camping vessel with it's generous cargo space and weight capacity. I'm looking forward to a great summer and fall on the water with this boat! May 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by CTBassin All Around Good Fishing Kayak For The Price This is my first kayak and overall couldn't be happier. I searched for some time when before deciding on this particular kayak. Now with everything else there are some pros and cons to this yak. First the pros, this has an incredibly stable platform and they advertise that you can stand up. Now I haven't tried it yet, but have been crouched while pushing off shore before sitting and there was minimal tipping. I have been out in pretty choppy water and it handled the waves fine. The storage area is decent, just need to do some minor mods to open the front hatch when it warms up. The dual seating is also a plus, the only advise I could give is invest in a seat if a longer trip is planned. This can be a matter of opinion but the molded in foot rests are a plus to me. They may add some weight but I don't have to adjust anything if I want to stretch or bend my legs. Now the cons, first and foremost the tracking on this is subpar at best. Even in calm water this can track in the opposite way you want it, but who knows, maybe it's just me. The molded in rod holders are not deep enough for any rod I own anyway, so I used 1 1/4" PVC and wrapped velcro around the bottom and they made for some great rod holders. Lastly, as it has already been mentioned is the lack of padding on the seats. All in all this a great angler kayak from the beginner to expert, especially for the price. May 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by kayakingflyfisher Very Stable Fishing Platform This is my first kayak, so I didn't know what to expect. It is a very stable craft to cast from and being a flyfisherman, this is very important. The craft is, I believe, first and foremost a fishing platform. It is wider and bulkier by most other kayaks I've seen. It doesn't turn on a dime and likely won't win many races, but it doesn't have to. I was a little concerned about 10 scupper holes in the bottom of the craft, but it rides so high in the water that I've never gotten wet from water coming in through the holes. Plenty of carrying capacity for gear and a trolling motor if that is your bent. I need to purchase a short, one-handed paddle for use in repositioning the craft. September 25, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Wheeler Very Happy Great kayak for fishing and camping. Very stable with plenty of storage space and can fit a milk create in the back. It handles the rapids of the Shenandoah river with ease.The hatch for the storage area in the front is a bit small(8")but I can fit my tent, sleeping bag and most other camping stuff threw it. All in all great kayak! September 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by bob recieved my kayak yesterday. took it to Pebble Beach. Delnorte county CA. I punched through pretty heavy surf. The first big wave picked me up and dropped me with a slap. Was able to keep it straight. Moved out away from the beach and we had pretty good swells. Headed for offshore rocks. The kayak tracked real good. With quick shallow strokes, it moved straight toward destination at a pretty reasonable clip. I got used to the stability of the kayak. Was able to move around and reach all my gear. After getting used to it and trusted it in the swells, I decided to drift fish in close proximity to the rocks. I jigged with a lite rod with Berkley gulp jigs. I caught 2 nice black snappers. The kayak felt real good to fish out of. Could concentrate on fishing. I am very pleased with the quality of the kayak at an unbelievable price. August 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Givemefins All the comfort of my lounge chair !!! They can have their expensive bass boats ! I've only had this sucker since May of this year and have already had a Million Dollars worth of fun..... I've added a high back seat one of the 8 foot stake down poles instead of the anchor, paddle holders on the side and some clips for my net also ! Throw in the Ipod and headphones and a sail on the front of it and it just doesn't get any better than that. I'm going to get to try the sail out next week, (Can't Wait) I only have two complaints and one are the pole holders behind the seat. They are great for traveling from one cove to another but cannot have them behind me when I'm casting!!!!!! I'm constantly catching "anything" I put in those holders behind me... The second thing I wish they would have done was use larger covers for the dry storage lids so that all that space underneath could be better used ! I've spent 8 hours a day two days in a row fishing from this and never once felt like I wanted to leave accept for needing more drinking water. If I could rate this sucker a 10, "I would!" August 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by jchrist Amazing Kayak!! Finally go to take it out yesterday and it's amazing. It tracks straight through the water and is easy to paddle around. I'm a heftier feller at around 260 and it's as stable as can be! It came with more tie downs than I was expecting and a anchor and trolly system already in place. Standing up in it will take some time to get used to but I didn't fall out! I would recommend this kayak!! 1 downside was the shipping company! ABF set up a time and I took the day off and they no showed, Re scheduled for the next day and they no showed again. June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bryan350 Big Man Kyak After looking for a kayak that will hold a heavy weight, I sought this one out. I would recommend it to anyone! Easy to paddle, 2 seat positions, and plenty of leg room. At first I was a little put off from how it seemed to rock side to side. I felt ready to swim at any given moment. I found a shallow spot on the river and just took some time to feel the boat out. At 287 pounds and 6'2", I can Stand up on the boat! I can sit side ways. And the unstable feeling I had went away after I figured out the boat will lean almost 45 degrees to one side or the other with Perfect stability. The boat rides very high in the water, and works really good in a shallow river situation, or lake waters as well. Down side... I had to purchase an aftermarket seat to be able to lean back in. Otherwise my back gets tired and shortens the day on the water. My opinion of the boat... Buy a seat and BUY this boat! I have been on the big money Kayaks, and there is no reason to spend 3 or 4 times the money for a brand name sticker on the side of a boat. This is a serious boat, with a price that can't be beat.

The new '66' registration plate comes out on Thursday 1st September 2016. We've pre-ordered hundreds of our most popular vans ready for delivery in early September, give us a call on. . .
We've got over £2.2m worth of new vans in stock ready for a very quick turnaround. These are all brand new vans pre-registered on the 29th July. . .
For all our latest industry news visit our Twitter page https://twitter.com/global_vans
We regularly update the page with any relevant news on the van leasing market.more news
Take a look at the range of affordably priced Iveco vehicles we have on offer below. We want to ensure you get the perfect van that meets your business needs and with our helpful and knowledgeable team at the end of the phone we will be able to achieve this.
Some people assume that Iveco is another Japanese manufacturer because of the unusual name, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Iveco stands for Industrial Vehicles Corporation and is part of the Fiat Group, based in Turin, Italy. It was founded in 1975 and only makes commercial vehicles. Another common misconception is that the word 'Fiat' is used because it is the Latin for 'he does', meaning, made by someone but in fact this is not so. The name Fiat is arrived at in the same way as Iveco and is taken from the initials of Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino which was founded in 1899. Fiat and Chrysler have now amalgamated, with Iveco part of that wider company. So when you use Iveco van hire, you are actually tapping into a huge and well-respected company.
Not a flash in the pan
The Iveco Daily has been a leading van model since 1978 and this says much for its inherent good design. It of course has many features now which were undreamed of in 1978, including cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. The Daily comes with either a six speed manual or automatic gearbox and as well as a very substantial payload capacity it can tow 3,500kg, ideal if your work means that you need to take small machinery with you. When you call Global Vans to arrange your Iveco van hire, ask about the options available – with just one model from this manufacturer, options vary. One thing that customers of Bristol van hire company Global Vans really love about the Daily is its manoeuvrability. As might be expected from a van from the Fiat stable, it is very easy to drive, even in city traffic.
An easy van to load and unload
With the Daily as your van hire choice, you won't be disappointed when it comes to carrying long or awkward loads. You can fit an extraordinary length of payload in the Daily – a market beating 5.1 metres. You also have many tie down points, making sure that your load does not shift in transit. When you call Global Vans to discuss your needs, you will be offered various finance options. Contract hire is an inexpensive start up option, and you don't have a balloon payment at the end of the period. This means you never own the van, but you do benefit from all the maintenance and other parts of the packages which come with finance lease, hire and direct purchase. Different business plans suit different finance options, so ask our experienced staff which would suit you best. If you are thinking of developing a fleet of vans, choosing a Daily may turn out to be ideal. There are different body lengths available, but they do have a very strong corporate look, so may be a cost effective way of giving you a corporate image with little paintwork necessary, a very important option if you are on a tight budget or a new start-up.

|WEEI NFL Power Rankings, Week 4: Cardinals move into top 3 behind Patriots, Packers
|09.29.15 at 11:01 pm ET
The top five teams all won in Week 3, but the Cardinals and Broncos swapped places in light of Arizona's dominant performance vs. the 49ers. Everyone expected the Patriots to roll over the Jaguars, and they delivered. We're only three weeks into the season but the hype machine is rolling through Boston, with many fans anticipating another undefeated regular season. Bill Belichick and the Patriots head into the early bye with almost no injuries, and in Week 5 they will head to Dallas to face a Cowboys team that has lost its starting quarterback and best wide receiver. The Patriots hype won't be slowing down anytime soon.
The Steelers drop seven spots with the loss of Ben Roethlisberger. Mike Tomlin better hope Michael Vick has been reading the playbook, as he'll be expected to get the ball to Antonio Brown for the next four to six weeks. Brandon Marshall is pretty much solely responsible for the Jets dropping nine spots after his ill-advised lateral attempt gift-wrapped a turnover for Chip Kelly's floundering Eagles. Another AFC East team dropped six spots as the Dolphins continue to wait for Ryan Tannehill to progress into a franchise QB. (More on him later.)
The only team I really wanted to move up this week was the Falcons. Coach Dan Quinn made substantial adjustments at halftime, and after allowing 28 points to the Cowboys in the first half, Atlanta allowed none in the second. Bills QB Tyrod Taylor continues to impress with his mobility in the pocket. He just looks comfortable back there, and Rex Ryan's defense bounced back after getting throttled by Brady and the Pats in Week 2 to beat the Dolphins. The Colts (begrudgingly) get moved up three spots after a narrow victory over the Titans.
1. (1 last week) Patriots (3-0) — A thrashing of the Jaguars keeps the Patriots on top. After the bye, they play the injury-plagued Cowboys followed by the Colts, Jets, Dolphins, Redskins, Giants and Bills at home before their first real test in Denver against the Broncos. It's not too early to think about Tom Brady being in the MVP conversation, which is great for the employees at 345 Park Ave.
2. (2) Packers (3-0) — Aaron Rodgers obliterated a (usually) good Chiefs defense. I think last year's meltdown in the NFC championship game will galvanize the Pack for the entire 2015 season. Cheeseheads should be booking hotels in San Francisco as soon as possible.
3. (4) Cardinals (3-0) — Chris Johnson's resurgence with Arizona is a bit of a surprise. His 2,000-yard seasons likely are behind him, but he looks better than he ever did with the Jets. Larry Fitzgerald is staving off Father Time for another season. He's got 333 receiving yards and five touchdowns in three games.
|Bill Belichick knows Rex Ryan and Jets want to run it down their throats
|12.16.14 at 4:21 pm ET
Ground and pound. Three simple words that defined the brash and power New York Jets when they were successful under Rex Ryan.
With a 3-11 record, gone is the cockiness but the desire to find different ways to run the ball is still priority No. 1 with Ryan's Jets. Whether it's Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson, Jeremy Kerley or even the newly acquired Percy Harvin, the Jets are trying to compensate for the lack of a passing attack from Geno Smith. But Smith, along with Ivory, Johnson, Kerley and Harvin, is a definite threat to run.
"Well they use a lot of guys. They have a lot of good runners: Ivory probably runs as hard as any player we've played against recently. Johnson has a lot of skill; Smith hurt us running in the first game. He's a good runner, he's a very athletic guy, can scramble in the passing game," Belichick said. "They ran a bunch of reverses, Kerley, obviously Harvin. They use a lot of people in their running game to make you defend from sideline to sideline, as well as the inside power-type games and some read-option plays."
Harvin has 31 carries for 201 yards (6.5 yards/attempt) and a touchdown this season, 21 of those coming with the Jets after he was acquired from Seattle. Ivory leads the Jets with 739 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. Johnson has 613 yards and a 4.5 yards/carry average with a touchdown. If there's a way the Patriots could be in trouble Sunday at MetLife, it starts with the Jets getting their running game up to speed.
"They have a very extensive and diverse running game," Belichick said. "This will probably be the most volume of running game schemes and run game issues that they create that we've had in quite a while, certainly all year.
With Smith struggling as a passer, the Jets have turned back to their "Wildcat" to try and take some pressure off the signal caller, sometimes taking Smith off the field altogether.
"I think the Wildcat is, like a lot of things, defensively you just have to be ready for it every week. Wildcat, unbalanced line, empty formation, all those different type of things, if a team has shown them, they've shown them," Belichick said. "But if they haven't shown them, there's always a possibility that they could put something like that together as a game plan thing. We always have to be ready for those type of things.

|Fantasy Football: Week 1 starts, sits
|09.05.14 at 2:02 pm ET
Well, it's officially Week 1 and it's time for our first batch of starts and sits. For our newer readers, I do my best to avoid the obvious choices. These are not rankings. Rather, they are takes on specific matchups that make players more or less desirable than they would normally be. Is there a player you want our take on that isn't mentioned? No problem. For rankings on all the major players, go to Rotobahn and check out our full Week 1 lineup rankings.
This Sunday features the first regular-season airing of the Fantasy Football Hour with my co-host Jim Hackett. We'll be discussing this article and other Week 1 roster options that will help you to submit your most potent weekly fantasy roster. Tune in to WEEI 93.7-FM at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday game days to check it out. If you're not an early riser, go to WEEI.com and enjoy it on your own schedule. I'll be back in this space on Tuesday with our first waiver wire of the year.
Carson Palmer, Cardinals vs. Chargers
He's got a nice home matchup, so it's a good week to use him. He should be ready to roll in his second year as the starter in HC Bruce Arians' offense. If Andre Ellington's new foot injury proves serious, Palmer will be throwing most of the game.
Derek Carr, Raiders at Jets
He's far from ideal, but if you are a Cam Newton owner (like me), looking for insurance, you could do worse than the strong-armed Carr vs. a battered Jets secondary.
Geno Smith, Jets vs. Raiders
It's a great home matchup, so if you need a cheap option in a deep league, Smith can help.
Robert Griffin III, Washington at Texans
If you happen to have another strong option, then this is a week to consider benching Griffin, who will be running a new offense while facing JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney … and the chaos they create.
|5 things we learned at combine Sunday
|02.23.14 at 11:22 pm ET
INDIANAPOLIS – Five things we learned at the combine Sunday:
1. Quarterback Bake Bortles can take advantage of an opportunity
Johnny Manziel didn't throw (but did look really fast in the 40, as well as the 3-cone), and Teddy Bridgewater didn't throw or run, and so Bortles was in the spotlight during the throwing drills and he looked impressive, making a variety of impressive connections to a variety of targets on several different routes throughout the session. We still believe that Jadeveon Clowney is the consensus top pick (even though there were some eyebrows raised after he only hit 21 reps in the bench press, a number that was topped by several smaller skill position players), but Bortles certainly made his case to be the first quarterback selected.
2. BC's Andre Williams helped himself
With a relatively nondescript group of running backs this year, the former Eagle had a chance to make a name for himself when it came to the on-field drills, and the power back (5-foot-11, 230 pounds) had a good outing. He ran a 4.54 and 4.56 in 40 (good times for a bigger back), and had a 38.0 on the vertical jump (fourth in his position group), and went 10-foot-9 on the broad jump (third in his position group). Last year was the first time in 50 years a running back was not selected in the first round, and while the same fate likely awaits Williams and the rest of the backs this year, the BC product is certainly doing his part — he may have gone from a third-day pick to a second-day selection with his work on Sunday. (The best performance for a relatively unknown back went to Kent State's Dri Archer, who had the best time of the day in the 40 with a 4.26. That just barely missed the 4.24 record set by running back Chris Johnson in 2008, the mark the NFL says is the best 40 by anyone, ever.)
3. The Patriots may not be in the market for an elite-level receiver, but there were several prospects who showed something in the 3-cone drill
New England craves pass catchers who can put up great 3-cone times — the drills showcases footwork, agility and the ability to quickly change direction as opposed to simple straight-line speed. In the past, several of the guys they've gone after have popped as collegians in the 3-cone in their Pro Day or at the combine, a group that includes Julian Edelman, Deion Branch, Wes Welker, Chad Jackson and Josh Boyce all excelled in the drill as collegians. This year, 19 different receivers cracked the 7-second barrier, traditionally considered the barometer for a great time in the drill. (In the previously mentioned group, only Welker topped seven seconds.) On Sunday, Top 10 3-cone times for receivers were Louisville's Damian Copeland (6.53), Baylor's Tevin Reese (6.63), Saginaw Valley State's Jeff Janis (6.64), Tulane's Ryan Grant (6.68), Alabama's Kevin Norwood (6.68), LSU's Odell Beckham (6.69), South Carolina's Bruce Ellington (6.69), Murray State's Walt Powell (6.7), Fresno State's Isaiah Burse (6.74) and Oregon State's Brandin Cooks (6.76). History tells us that one of these guys has a good chance of landing in Foxboro, either as a draft pick or undrafted free agent.
4. Louis Nix III, Dee Ford and Adam Muema made things interesting in the media workroom
Nix, a defensive lineman out of Notre Dame, had been billed as a terrific quote, and he didn't disappoint in his session with reporters. Asked about his recent weight loss, he said, "My thighs got a little smaller. I just feel sexier, man." Asked about his occasionally troublesome knee, he smiled and replied, "It's fantastic. How's your knee?" And he admitted to being star-struck when he met Seattle coach Pete Carroll. Meanwhile, Muema, a running back from San Diego State, left the combine without taking part in any drills, saying God told him to. (And apparently, if Muema followed God's wishes, he'd be taken by the Seahawks. "[God] told me to sit down, be quiet, and enjoy the peace," he said.) And Ford, a defensive lineman out of Auburn, took a shot at Clowney, saying the South Carolina lineman "plays like a blind dog in a meat market."
5. Cooks, Beckham and Sammy Watkins are REALLY fast
In addition to his 3-cone time, the 5-10, 189-pound Cooks was the fastest receiver tested with a blazing 4.33 in the 40, while the 6-foot, 194-pound Beckham was close behind him with a 4.46. (For what it's worth, Beckham showed a nice dependability in the receiving drills, and is a guy who will get a bit of a post-combine bump because of his work on Sunday.) The 6-foot-1, 211-pound Watkins had an amazing burst, and finished with a 4.43 40 that should also give him a bit of a post-combine bump.
|WEEI NFL Power Rankings, Week 17: Seahawks still No. 1 despite loss
|12.24.13 at 8:48 am ET
The Seahawks stumbled but didn't fall in the WEEI NFL Power Rankings. Despite suffering a setback in Week 16, Seattle stands pat because of its overall dominance. The 49ers, Panthers, Broncos and Patriots, who all have secured playoff spots, round out the top five.
As we head into the last week of the season, division titles and playoff spots still are up for grabs. Four teams are fighting for one spot in the AFC: the Chargers (11), Ravens (13), Dolphins (15) and Steelers (17). The NFC is wide open, with three divisions and a wild card spot on the line. The Eagles (12) will look to become the 11th consecutive team in the NFL to finish in last place and then go on to win the division the very next year, and it will take a win over the Cowboys (19) on Sunday to accomplish that feat. Philadelphia's odds of winning the NFC East improved dramatically on Monday after it was reported that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo will be sidelined due to a back problem.
The conclusion of the 2013 regular season promises to be a wild one. Be sure to check in next week after all is decided for the playoff edition of the Power Rankings.
1. (1) Seahawks (12-3) — The NFC took notice that the Seahawks are vulnerable in Seattle. They lost at home for the first time in two years. Penalties and a struggling passing attack hurt Pete Carroll's team Sunday.
2. (2) 49ers (11-4) — They've clinched and now have won five straight. The Niners are the type of seasoned, well-balanced team that is capable of going into Seattle and winning if the situation were to arise.
3. (3) Panthers (11-4) — The Panthers have the tools to reach the Super Bowl. Cam Newton has proven this year that the big moment doesn't negatively affect him. Carolina's defense forces turnovers, rushes the passer well and allows the fewest points per game in the league.
4. (4) Broncos (11-3) — Much is being made about the loss of Von Miller, but the Broncos won their first six games this season when the Pro Bowl linebacker was suspended. If Denver doesn't reach the Super Bowl, it won't be because Miller is out.
5. (6) Patriots (11-4) — You can't count this team out as long as Tom Brady is behind center and Bill Belichick is on the sideline. They've proven that this year more than ever.
|Fantasy Football: Week 16 starts, sits
|12.20.13 at 9:09 am ET
Welcome to the Week 16 starts and sits! I've tried to find some good recommendations that aren't too obvious. I've thrown in a few that I just wanted to emphasize, like Chris Johnson and Shane Vereen, who I think should be locked into lineups. Obviously, there is a lot of talent that we do not address in this article, so hit Rotobahn for our full lineup rankings. And on Sunday, stop by WEEI for our Sunday chat at 11 a.m. I'll be happy to address any last-minute decisions you may have. Good luck to all this week! Bring home the hardware!
Kirk Cousins, Redskins vs. Cowboys
Talk about tricky! There are some very compelling reasons to consider Cousins as your quarterback for Week 16. The obvious one is the matchup at home against the defenseless Cowboys. I know a lot of people are talking about risk. Sure, there always is some uncertainly with an inexperienced quarterback. Then again, there's risk playing Tom Brady on the road vs. the Ravens. At least there is from a fantasy football perspective. With Cousins, we see a lot more reasons to play him than to sit him. Here's the most compelling one: Washington is marketing the player. Cousins is an asset that the Redskins need to maximize, as they have holes all over their roster. A lot of football experts see Cousins as a potential NFL starter, and we agree. The Redskins wants draft pick compensation for Cousins, and they are going to throw the football. And, with their defense, they'll need to do it for four quarters. Cousins can help you if you have a need at quarterback. He's an obvious choice for those who've been using Robert Griffin III.
Andrew Luck, Colts at Chiefs
Quite simply, he is capable in any matchup. I would not hesitate to play Luck in Week 16. Yes, the matchup is tough, but Luck has stepped it up on the road against tough defenses before. Look at what he did to the Bengals a few weeks ago. Luck is a viable option in any format this week. Check out our lineup rankings if you have a strong second option to consider.
Andy Dalton, Bengals vs. Vikings
As with Luck, Dalton falls outside of my top 12 for Week 16 but remains a very solid option with plenty of scoring potential. Dalton can be your starter this week if you need him. He has outstanding receiving options, and most of them are red zone guys.
Alex Smith, Chiefs vs. Colts
It's often ugly or random, but Smith almost always ends up with good numbers at the end of the day. Another fact worthy of a mention is his success at home, where he's had only one weak fantasy start all year long. Smith can be your quarterback this week if you need him.
|Fantasy Football: Week 9 starts, sits
|11.03.12 at 12:11 pm ET
Welcome to the Week 9 starts and sits. It's been a rough week for yours truly and all New Yorkers, but I'm now up in Boston with friends — fully loaded with bandwidth and a large coffee. Let's get into Week 9, shall we? For those of you looking for full rankings, we will be adding them at Rotobahn.com throughout the day as we play catchup in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. We also will be hosting our weekly Sunday chat right here, so check back Sunday at 11 a.m. if you have any pressing lineup questions.
Cam Newton, Panthers at Redskins
Yes, Newton was a lock starter going into the season, but we've received enough e-mails about him to put him here. Newton should step up in this game against Robert Griffin III. The bigger issue is the Washington defense, which is prone to lapses in coverage. Newton is a good play here and he has some upside, too. He's a good play in any league.
Josh Freeman, Buccaneers at Raiders
Stick with Freeman this week in a plus matchup at Oakland. His receivers are making plays and now he has ground support with a surging Doug Martin.
Joe Flacco, Ravens at Browns
There's some risk due to how poorly he's played lately, but we wouldn't be afraid of using him here. The Ravens have had two weeks to prepare for this game and they are well coached. They should be ready. Flacco is a viable start in 12-team leagues.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bills at Texans
Fitz is a very risky play on the road against a quality opponent. Just look at what he did in Weeks 5 and 6 if you require proof. The Bills most likely will be chasing in the game, so there's some hope, but we'd strongly consider other options in all leagues.
Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins at Colts
Two big things here: Tannehill is not a lock to play, so even if you are going to roll with him, you need a Plan B. The more important thing is the in-game risk. There's a solid chance that he could start but not finish, and that's what worries us most. He's got an easily aggravated injury. The matchup is a very good one, but we'd look for more secure options in Week 9.

Allocasuarina littoralis
Allocasuarina littoralis, commonly known as black sheoak, black she-oak, or river black-oak, is an endemic medium-sized Australian tree (usually up to 8 metres, but sometimes to 15 metres - coarse shrub in exposed maritime areas).[1][2] A. littoralis is named for its growth near the coast; this is somewhat misleading, as it will grow well both inland and in coastal zones.[3][4]
This evergreen Casaurina tree is noted for its modified branchlets appearing to be leaves (5–8 cm long) and narrow width (no more than 4 mm) and the true leaves are, in fact minute (rarely larger than 1mm) and occur on the tips of the modified branchlets.[5] It is a relatively fast growing tree (up to 800mm. a year) making it very suitable for planting along roadsides. The showy red flowers appear in spring.[3]
The species occurs in Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, and Tasmania.[1] It grows in woodland and sometimes in tall heath, and it grows in sandy and other poor soils.[4]

More Pupils Taking Prescribed Drugs To Relieve Distress
Published: May 3, 1998
(Page 2 of 2)
Dr. Robert Dicker, the psychiatrist in charge of the Adolescent Pavilion and the Child and Adolescent Day Services at Long Island Jewish Hospital, said: ''Different studies show that the symptoms of depression -- sadness, tearfulness, sleep disturbances, a decrease in both energy and concentration -- appear to be presenting earlier than in previous generations. We don't know why that's occurring. There are many different theories -- two working parents, the divorce rate, family disruptions. We are seeing that schools and parents are more sensitive to the diagnosis now and are picking it up sooner. The biases and prejudices are still there, but there's a greater receptivity toward identifying the problem and seeking help.''
He added: ''I think that one needs to look at psychiatric disorders much like one looks at medical disorders.If a child has seizures, they take the appropriate medication. If a child has attention deficit disorder, they need to be in treatment as well. It's not that psychopharmocologic agents are the only solution, or should be the first line of treatment, but these medications are safer than they were a decade ago and from my experience, with the correct diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plan, they are appropriately prescribed.''
''It's no longer a red flag for us to note on a camper's application that he is taking medication,'' said Bob Musiker, one of the owners and directors of the Roslyn-based Summer Discovery and Musiker Tours, a popular pre-college institute and travel program. ''It's become so common that the kids are not reticent about sharing that once or twice a day they take their medication. I don't know what they'd be like without it, but all these kids are bright, well-functioning human beings who enjoy their summer vacation.''
Dr. Gil Dick, a pediatrician in Great Neck, said he did not prescribe psychotropic drugs. ''I don't believe pediatricians are adequately trained, so I turn that over to people who do that for a living. I have, however, been prescribing Ritalin for attention deficit disorder for almost 20 years. Each child's dosage is custom made. I've observed more cases lately because I think parents are hearing good things about the drug's results, and the schools are more vocal in asking that they try it.
''Most parents, rightfully so, are resistant at first,'' he continued. ''Their misgivings dissipate when their children respond. I try to liken attention deficit disorder to color blindness. It's something you don't outgrow, but you can learn to deal with as you get older and learn the tricks of the trade.''
For those children having difficulty keeping up with the pack, there is an ever expanding choice of drugs, honing in on ever more exact diagnoses. The downside, if there is one, experts say, is that medication alone should not be considered the most effective treatment.
''If parents think that means you don't have to deal with the issues underlying the behavior, then that's short-sighted,'' cautioned Dr. Fornari.
''I think it's a serious issue to start putting kids on medication,'' added Nancy Lindenaur, principal of Searingtown School, ''for what it implies in terms of taking a pill to change a child's internal state. Although I have seen many troubled children do much better than they would have 15 years ago, there's a danger that parents and kids feel absolved from the responsibility of the behavior once the medication is started. Responsibility does not lie in the pill. Medication should make it possible for the child to achieve his goals, not excuse him from not achieving them.''

Advisor Perspectives welcomes guest contributions. The views presented here do not necessarily represent those of Advisor Perspectives.
The rally over the last week has modestly improved the S&P 500's long term trend from neutral-bearish to neutral-bullish as nearly 60% of stocks within the S&P 500 are still above their long term moving averages. However, given the recent correction, the intermediate outlook has deteriorated significantly with only 36% of stocks within the S&P 500 in bullish intermediate uptrends.
200 Day Moving Average Evaluation—Long Term Trend Determination
As shown in the table below, the net percentage of stocks that are in long term bullish trends increased to 59%. In terms of sectors, the ones showing the worst market breadth continue to be utilities (32%), technology (41%), and energy (47%). The defensive consumer staples group is showing the best long term strength as 71% of its members are above their 200 day moving average (200d MA) while the cyclical financial and consumer discretionary sectors are not far behind with 67% and 66% of their respective members above their 200d MA.
Moving Average Trend Analysis (MATA)—Intermediate Term Trend Determination
The MATA survey for the S&P 500 has improved slightly but remains firmly bearish with only 36% of the 500 stocks within the S&P 500 in bullish intermediate uptrends. The two sectors that are showing the most improved breadth are the industrial (50%) and materials (48%) sectors, which typically do best when the USD is weak and/or emerging markets are strong.
52-Week Highs and Lows Data
The big standout in the 52-week highs/lows data is the utility sector as nearly one fifth of the group hit a 52-week low in the last five days with no new highs. By far the healthiest group is the consumer staples sector with the greatest percentage of 52-week highs at 14.29% and near the smallest percentage of 52-week lows at 2.38%, with health care also showing good overall breadth with 9.62% of its members hitting new 52-week highs in the last five days and only 1.92% hitting new 52-week lows.
Sector Rotation
Below is the relative rotation graph from Bloomberg that shows both the relative momentum and relative performance of assets versus a benchmark. Numbers north of 100 show improving relative momentum while numbers below show weakening relative momentum to the benchmark, and numbers to the right of 100 show outperforming assets and to the left underperforming assets.
While all three surveys above show the utility sector at or near the worst in terms of bullish breadth trends, the relative momentum of the sector has improved and may indicate their relative underperformance may be coming to an end. Evidence of this is seen by the sharp vertical move by the utility sector ETF (XLU) which is helping the sector move from the "Lagging" quadrant (lower left) to the "Improving" quadrant (upper left). Another shift is the improvement in the industrial sector ETF (XLI) which is further along in terms of sector rotation as it is nearing a move from the "Improving" quadrant (upper left) to the "Leading" quadrant (upper right). The strength in the sector is also being confirmed by the three surveys above which are showing that the industrial sector is becoming a market leader.
Weekly Sector Relative Performance to S&P 500 (11/28/2012)
Source: Bloomberg
Over the past month there have been many calls for a coming recession and bear market but the data above does not appear to be supporting this notion as defensive groups are lagging and cyclical groups are leading—not what you would expect heading into an economic contraction. For example, the basic materials and industrial groups are showing some of the strongest breadth and are on the verge of becoming market leaders, while at the same time the absolutely most horridly looking sector, utilities, is showing the worst breadth. When making a recession or bear market call, it is usually best to take a "weight of the evidence" approach rather than relying on any one indicator. While some are arguing for a coming recession based on the newly released Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI), other data like the Philly Fed State Coincident survey, the technical surveys highlighted above, as well as the credit markets do not paint as bearish a picture, a topic that will be covered in my Friday post.

Vt. hospital cuts 19 employeesThe Associated Press | July 11,2013NEWPORT - A Vermont hospital has cut 19 workers and reduced hours for three others to deal with dropping revenue.
The Caledonian Record reported that the cutbacks at North Country Hospital in Newport are to save $1.3 million, to make up for a $1.6 million operating loss this year out of an $80 million budget.
The cuts affected 3 percent of the 600 who work for the hospital and its clinics.
Most of the cuts affect non-clinical staff, from administration, human resources, accounting and the facilities maintenance departments. Six of the employees work in the occupational medicine and psychiatry clinics, which are closing.
Claudio Fort, North Country's president, said the 25-bed critical care hospital could not continue to run a deficit and keep serving the 30,000 people that depend on it.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

The first time I was told to pay for the job myself and that i would be reimbursed later, but I wasn't. The next time I tried to file a claim, I was told that warrantyusa had filed for bankruptcy. When I called WarrantyUSA myself, they indeed told me that they filed bankruptcy and that they were not accepting any claims at the time; yet claimed that things would be back to normal at a later date.
Things haven't been back to normal. As of 5/8/2003, i tried to file a claim, but when i called I received a 'wrong number' recording. There goes my ONE thousand something dollars down the drain!
I wish there was some kind of way I could sue them and get all of my money back from them crooks!!!
