NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks rose broadly Monday, led by insurance companies, after it became clear that the Tropical Storm Irene caused far less damage than many had feared. An increase in U.S. consumer spending also helped, as did as did a rare piece of good news from Greece: a merger of two major banks.
The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 254 points. Trading volume, or the number of shares bought and sold, was the lowest since July 26 as many traders struggled to get to work in Lower Manhattan or were on vacation.
Insurance stocks rose sharply as analysts lowered their estimates of how much damage the storm would cause. Allstate Corp. rose 8.5 percent, Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. rose 13 percent, and Travelers Cos. Inc. rose 5.1 percent. Insurance and banking stocks in the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 4.2 percent, the most of the 10 company groups that make up the index.
Kinetic Analysis Corp., a consulting firm, sharply lowered its estimate of storm damage from $20 billion late Thursday to $7 billion late Sunday as the storm weakened. Of that amount, insurers would probably have to cover up to $3 billion, Kinetic said. That's less than the $6 billion the industry paid after Hurricane Isabel struck the region in 2003.
"The U.S. came more or less unscathed through the hurricane," said Kim Caughey Forrest, equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. "The cleanup isn't going to cost as much as anticipated."
Utilities companies also rose after it became clear their storm-related expenses would be lower than earlier estimates. Duke Energy Corp., which serves customers in the Carolinas, rose 1.1 percent. New York's biggest utility company, Consolidated Edison Inc., rose 1.3 percent.
The New York Stock Exchange and other major U.S. exchanges opened as usual Monday after making extensive preparations over the weekend. At the NYSE, executives brought in dozens of cots so employees could sleep there to be ready for the opening bell.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 254.71 points, or 2.3 percent, to close at 11,539.25. It is now down just 0.3 percent for the year. It had been down as much as 7.4 percent for the year on Aug. 10. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 33.28 points, or 2.8 percent, to 1,210.08. The widely used market benchmark is now up 8.1 percent since on Aug. 8, when it hit low for the year because of a downgrade of the U.S. government's credit rating. The technology-focused Nasdaq composite index rose 82.26, or 3.3 percent, to 2,562.11.
The Russell 2000 index, a benchmark for small companies, rose 32.86 points, or 4.7 percent, to 724.65. The stair-step pattern of gains, from 2.3 percent in the Dow to 4.7 percent in the Russell, suggested investors were more willing to take on risk. Small company stocks are more likely to fall in economic downturns, but they also offer the potential of larger gains if the economy does well. The Russell is still down 7.5 percent this year, nearly twice as much as the S&P 500.
Bank of America Corp. rose 8.1 percent, the most of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow average, after the bank said it would sell half of its stake in China Construction Bank Corp. The bank has been selling assets to raise cash to comply with new banking regulations.
Last week, billionaire Warren Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said it would invest $5 billion in BofA, giving the troubled company a badly needed boost. The nation's largest bank has lost 34 percent of its value over the past year as investors worry that its liabilities from soured mortgages will get worse and that it will have to sell large amounts of stock to raise capital.
An increase in consumer spending also helped push stocks higher. The government reported that spending rose 0.8 percent in July. It was a sharp turnaround from June, when Americans cut spending 0.1 percent, the first decline in 20 months.
Volume was low as transit disruptions made it difficult for Wall Street employees to get to work. Flooding and downed trees obstructed tracks throughout the commuter rail systems that bring workers in from the Connecticut, New York and New Jersey suburbs.
About 3.6 billion shares traded hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the lowest since July 26. The average this year is 4.4 billion shares. Many traders are on vacation the last week before the Labor Day holiday.
European stocks jumped after two Greek banks said they would combine to better weather that country's debt crisis. Greece's Athex Composite index jumped 14.4 percent after the country's second- and third-largest lenders agreed to combine, creating the country's largest bank. Greece's government and central bank have been urging banks to merge, saying it would help them survive.
Stocks worldwide plunged in late July and early August, partly because of worries about Europe's escalating debt problems. Greece has narrowly avoided bankruptcy twice thanks to emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund and other European countries.

Although my sadness passed, it was months before I recognized the furry heroine that helped me during this life transition. She slept with me, followed me and happily played with the toys I lavished on her. And through caring for and feeding Peaches, our 10-year-old Persian mix, I became mother to a cat.
I belong to the baby boomer generation, a group of about 80 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964. Many of us have or will soon experience what psychologists call the empty nest syndrome, feelings of grief that follow a grown childs departure from home. It can be a confusing time of both relief and loss. The stress of daily parenting routines is gone, but the house suddenly seems too empty and quiet.
In many cases, parents have been accustomed to taking care of their young for years and may long for another 'child to nurture, says Jane Rosen-Grandon, Ph.D., a North Carolina-based therapist who helps clients cope with life transitions. Pets offer perfect solutions. After all, when pets grow up, they don't leave home.
Boomer CatsBaby boomers represented nearly half of the cat owners in the American Pet Product Manufacturers Association Inc.s (APPMA) 2003-04 National Pet Owner Survey. The survey revealed that 62 percent of cat owners view their cats as children. The sudden surge in pet-product sales which doubled from $17 billion in 1994 to $34.4 billion in 2004 timed out with the boomer generations transition to the empty nest years, says APPMA COO, managing director and baby boomer Bob Vetere. These figures, along with increased sales of luxury items, such as diamond cat collars, indicate boomers see their cats as more than just pets, he says.
Pets used to be kept outdoors, somehow separate from the family. For some reason our generation (baby boomers) has taken pets in and incorporated them more and more into our lives, Vetere says. Its not that boomers are unhappy, but a pet gives couples a common connection.

This is exactly what I experienced. I joke with friends that I started breeding Birmans because I needed babies to "get me through" until I have grand children someday. Now I have three babies until they too move on. They bring me a lot of joy... LINK I highly recommend a Birman for a kid replacement ;)

Emma Watson has cast her spell on a new man.
The Harry Potter star, 23, has been spotted kissing and cuddling with Oxford University rugby star Matt Janney, 21, on a Caribbean vacation ahead of her appearance at the Golden Globe Awards this weekend.
Watson and long-term boyfriend Will Adamowicz split last summer.
A source told Britain's Mirror of the romantic tropical getaway: "They didn't have a care in the world. Matt was very protective of Emma – often putting his arm around her."
The source added: "He was being a gentleman the whole time. He is clearly very much into her, but then who wouldn't be? She is one of Hollywood's hottest stars. They couldn't stop giggling and smiling the whole time."
The were spotted in a business lounge at London's Gatwick Airport shortly before they flew to the Caribbean on Monday.
They couple are said to have hooked up after Matt played in the annual varsity rugby match between Oxford and Cambridge at Twickenham Stadium in London on Dec. 12. Watson, a former Oxford student, was spotted in the stands watching as Matt helped guide his team to a 33-15 victory. She then attended the post-match victory celebrations at the Ping bar in London's Earl's Court.
Before starting at Oxford, Emma's new catch worked as an intern at leading law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Paris. He also studied at King's College School in Wimbledon.
The 6'1", 183-lb. rugby star is currently studying French and Russian at Oxford's Oriel College and is fluent in Spanish. Looks like he's also mastered the love spell "Amortentia" too!

Lost and found: half sibling edition
I found out that I have a half brother five years ago. I got curious, then thanks to the internet, I was able to locate him a year ago. We (mom included) have been in touch, and he wants to be a part of our family, which I love as I am an only child raised by a single mom. The catch: He has problems with addiction, the law, and being employed. [more inside]
Found my grandfather's birth family. Now what?
In the process of helping post my late grandfather's digitized papers online, I found his adoption paperwork (he made no secret of being adopted, but didn't talk about it much). It gave enough information that I was able to find that my grandfather had a brother, who apparently is still alive. I'm not sure what to do next; it's good to know there's more family out there (my father has few living relatives), but I'm not sure how happy others in my family will be with the reality, and the same may go for my grandfather's newly-discovered relatives. Advice would be helpful; details below. [more inside]
Wedding gift for the adult sister I'm just getting to know
At age 43, I found my birth family. (Original post. MeTa.) In addition to my birth mother and many other relatives, I've gained an adult sister. I'm now 44 and she's 29. We're slowly getting to know each other. My birth mother informed me the day we met last June that I'd be going to my sister's (up until then her only daughter, as far as the world knew) wedding in Key West in March. I was so thrilled by the whirlwind of everything, and I wanted to keep the hoopla surrounding my integration into the family as minimally disruptive to her planning the big event, that I've kind of forgotten something important until now: What on earth should I get her as a wedding present?

When to tell him he's not my biological child?
My wife and I have a 3 year old, which for the sake of anonymity we will call John. He is the joy of my life, but biologically speaking, not mine. I am wondering if we should tell him, if so, how, and at what age we should tell him? Any Mefites who have experience either adopting or being adopted who have helpful input on this, it would be greatly appreciated. [more inside]

Out of Home Advertising Up 4.5% in Q1 2013
Increase in Revenue Highlights 3 Consecutive Years of Industry Growth
June 5, 2013 (Washington, DC) – Out of home (OOH) advertising revenue rose 4.5 percent in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, totaling $1.5 billion, according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA). The increase in revenue highlights steady positive revenue growth over the last three years.
Misc. Services & Amusements recorded the highest revenue dollar growth as the segment continues to lead OOH spending each quarter. Reflecting the general positive trend of the US economy, the largest percentage growth occurred in the Retail, Restaurant, and Automotive categories.
"For the first time in three years, the Automotive category is back on the top 10 list for OOH spending" said Stephen Freitas, OAAA chief marketing officer. "And despite analysts' predictions that the Schools, Camps, and Seminars category would be down this year, it has shown significant growth in OOH."
Freitas added, "Advertisers have seen OOH embrace innovation in all parts of its business and are excited about the medium's dynamic mix of displays and endless creative possibilities."
OAAA issues full industry pro forma revenue estimates that include, but are not limited to, Miller Kaplan and Kantar Media (which is not adjusted to reflect changes in data sources), and member company affidavits. Revenue estimates include billboard, street furniture, transit, alternative, and cinema advertising, as well as digital platforms for advertising spending.

Democrat Kathleen C. Hochul's new ad aims to beat back claims made by her Republican opponent, Chris Collins, and appeal to older voters.
The ad is mostly accurate.
In the 30-second ad, "Too Far," the incumbent representative talks directly into the camera and appears to be in a senior center or nursing home, as older people can be seen in the background. There are no images of Collins or any text on the screen, except for Hochul's name and a notice that her campaign paid for the ad and she approved it.
Hochul, running against Collins in the 27th District, makes several claims about her opponent's past comments.
Claim: "Chris Collins says I voted to hurt senior citizens."
Fact: This claim is mostly accurate. Collins' ad, "Broken Promises," didn't use the phrase "hurt senior citizens," but said "Hochul voted to cut Medicare and Medicare Advantage by over $700 billion when she opposed repealing Obamacare." Senior citizens rely on these health insurance programs.
Claim: "Chris Collins says the Ryan budget doesn't go far enough."
Fact: This claim is accurate. Collins said in a May interview with the Batavia Daily News that a budget drafted by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan doesn't go far enough in balancing the budget.
The quote, which was paraphrased in the news article, was taken out of context in the ad, according to Collins campaign adviser Chris Grant.
What Collins meant was that the Ryan budget doesn't balance the budget within the 10-year time frame Collins prefers, Grant said.
Though Collins may not have been speaking directly about Medicare when he said the Ryan budget doesn't go far enough, he has not given specifics for how the budget can be balanced. He has said he would be part of a team in Washington that would work on a budget.
He has also said he does not support the cuts to Medicare in the Ryan budget but has not said how the program should be changed.
Claim: "I voted against the Ryan budget because it ends the current Medicare system and turns Medicare over to the insurance industry."
Fact: The first part of this claim is accurate.
The Ryan budget, which Hochul voted against the second time it came up for a vote in the House – she wasn't in Congress for the vote on an earlier version – makes changes to the current Medicare system.
Kaiser Health News called it a "fundamental shift from today's program."
Hochul is careful not to say it "ends Medicare," which has been deemed false by fact-checking organizations such as Factcheck.org and Politifact.
The second part, the claim that the Ryan budget "turns Medicare over to the insurance industry," is somewhat misleading.
The budget prescribes that new Medicare beneficiaries in 2023 choose from private plans or traditional Medicare, which would be offered on a Medicare exchange, and pay for them with government subsidies.
Factcheck.org points out that it's a system similar to the current Medicare Advantage program and the health exchanges in Obama's Affordable Care Act, which Hochul has voted against repealing.
Ryan has said that the intent of the Medicare changes is to drive down costs by utilizing competition in the private insurance marketplace, but others have said that the subsidies could be too low to cover rising health costs.
Ryan's plan, supporters say, would offer premium support that would always be enough to cover the two cheapest plans. But if costs rise faster than gross domestic product plus a half percentage point, "Congress would have to step in and take some unspecified action to keep costs down," according to Factcheck.org.
Claim: "And it makes seniors pay thousands of dollars more."
Fact: This claim is somewhat misleading, because it's not clear how much it will cost seniors.
While Ryan said his plan does not change benefits for current beneficiaries, it does repeal the Affordable Care Act, which closes the Medicare prescription drug "doughnut hole" and provides preventive care with no out-of-pocket costs.
It's not clear how much repealing the current health law will cost current seniors if nothing is done to mitigate those impacts.
As for future beneficiaries, the Congressional Budget Office has said that there is uncertainty in estimating how much the Ryan plan will cost them.
The Republican plan could lead to significant increases in premium costs in some parts of the country, according to a study released this month from the Kaiser Health Foundation.
The study, which is not an exact replica of the Ryan plan, found six in 10 Medicare beneficiaries would have faced higher premiums if they didn't switch to a cheaper plan, based on modeling how the plan would have worked using health costs in 2010.
In New York, average higher premiums would exceed $100 per month, the study found.
Nationally, Democrats have used the attack that the Ryan plan will cost seniors $6,000 more per year, but that is based on an earlier Ryan budget, proposed in 2011, before Hochul was elected to Congress.
Claim: "At the same time it cuts Medicare benefits, the Ryan budget gives millionaires even more tax cuts."
Fact: This claim is mostly true. The Ryan budget raises the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 67 by 2034, which has an impact on benefits for future seniors.
The Ryan plan also gives people with a cash income level of more than $1 million an average tax cut of $265,011, according a March analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank.
Ryan has claimed his plan is revenue neutral, and that it broadens the tax base and simplifies the tax code – instead of six tax brackets there would be two brackets.
The Ryan budget has not been enacted because of opposition in the Senate and White House.

In this election, you need to
Vote out the Incumbents.
"Incumbents" may not be the appropriate term for two of the three of the candidates.
Mr. Kruse, a.k.a "The Ever-Appointed" was appointed (like every time he has served) and Mr. Mullin squeaked by in a special election.
Mr. Higginson (the Mayor) has been in power for almost 24 years and long ago lost touch with the people. He does not read City Staff reports prior to showing up and simply rubber stamps everything that they put on his desk. Mr. Higginson hs never made (and thus never kept) a promise in his 24 years on the Council. Think I'm making that up? See the YouTube Video.
Mr. Kruse has never run for City Council. He is a friendly person who will not challenge you or think to much. He is a solid vote for whomever appoints him to the spot. He has trouble accurately remembering the past, trying to take credit for writing the General Plan when, in reality, he was nowhere to be found. The only thing that Kruse ever did for the General Plan was to sign it. And only after he got permission.
Mr. Kruse claims his vast Banking experience will somehow help the City of Poway. Kruse ran a bank in Rancho Bernardo and headed up their Loan Origination Department. Shortly after he "retired" from the bank, taking a $1+ million package, the entire bank was sold for pennies on the dollar. The CULPRIT? Excessive non-performing loans. The same thing that has tanked our economy. Happened under Mr. Kruse's watch. It's called "Kruse-control"
Starting here in Poway. Notice how the city "found" ~$1.4 million in it's budget after it jacked up the water rates for most Poway? Missing money an example of how things run under the "watchful eye" of Carl Kruse.
Bankers are great for lining up numbers in a column and telling you that they all add up.
Finance Guys (like Dave Grosch) actually add up the numbers and see if the MAKE SENSE. See where things need to be cut. See where things are missing. We don't need a failed banker on the council, we need a Finance Guru.
Mr. Mullin is the most dangerous candidate of them all. He site on the Board of Directors of CALPASC, a powerful and effective lobbying group that fights to reduce the legal liability of Subcontractors. A long term member of CALPASC, he ascended to his current position about the same time he was running in the recent special election. He has significant developer support from both within Poway and from within San Diego County. In the special election, he outspent his nearest opponent 3:1 and won by 104 votes. He currently is the leader for money collection and garners discount signs from out of state printers with developer ties. He gets permission to prominently place his signs on buildings owned by developers, who will have issues shortly before the council. A vote for John Mullin is a virtual guarantee that Poway road will become a freeway from the 15 to the 67 and that SR125 will cut through to at least Scripps Poway Parkway, possibly to Ted Williams. In between, we will have rows of box stores with the traffic and noise to go with it.
Mr. Mullin claims to adhere to the General Plan, but when push comes to shove (and there will be a lot of pressure from his supporters if he gets into office) he will imagine the Plan to be something that it is not.
Poway will completely lose the "Country" that we all care so much about.
Poway has Great Choices in the Challengers
Nick Stavros
Nick is a small business owner that has lived in Poway for decades. He knows the value of the "Country" in "The City in the Country." He has fought long and hard against City Corruption, particularly with the water and sewer rate structure. He has seen first hand the opacity of the city government and is committed to change that. His only ties are to the residents, not developers or the construction lobby. He has a great background and familiarity with the technical fields and knows how to attract the high tech/biotech jobs to Poway that Poway needs. Do we really want more Walmart/slave wage jobs, or do we want high tech/high wage jobs centered here. These are the types of people you want as your neighbors.
Pete Babich
Pete is a highly logical and organized thinker and planner. He is also a small business owner and knows what it takes to succeed. It takes proper planning. The current council is being run by the City Staff because the council does not check up on the staff's work. We have wound up with a patchwork of rules and rulings that leads to sprawl. Pete wants to reverse that and make the right managerial decisions to insure that there is a valid reason for choice. No hand waving, just facts.
Listen to Pete's analyses on the issues facing the city, and you'll come away in awe of someone who has actually done their homework. This type of thinking (or any type of thinking) scares the City Staff to no end. With Pete on the Council, power will return to the residents. What galls Pete, and others, is the lip service that the current council pays to the Poway General Plan. This document, above all others, lays the foundation for the type of city that Poway is meant to be. It is the ultimate long term planning document and Pete Babich the the man for the job to uphold that covenant with the people.
Dave Grosch
Dave is the ultimate Finance guy. He kept tabs on multi-million dollar projects at TRW and SAIC. Making sure that the money being spent was being spent wisely and cut the fat where needed. A finance person is several cuts above a banker. Bankers just balance the books. Play tricks with the numbers to make the balance sheet all the nicer. They have no skill or knowledge of the meaning behind the numbers. Finance guys like Dave keep tabs on the City Staff's expenditures. Dave was the only one at the Council Forums who talked about the need to trim the excessive retirement packages that the city staff pull down. This is a ticking time bomb. It is no wonder that the City Staff are so urgently building out the city with Box Stores. They see it as the only way they can keep the City solvent enough to pay for their lavish pensions. While the incumbents were waving their hands at pie in the sky future fantasies of tax revenues coming from miles of box stores, Dave was pointing out that the Council has far more control over expenditures than revenues.
As they Say:
"It's not how much you Earn; It's how much you Spend"
Dave knows that uncontrolled development, as seen in so many other cities that have lost their character, is a freeway to blight and must be avoided. Dave have the skills and business experience needed to get the job done, and done right, for Poway.

BUIES CREEK — It happened so often over the years, it became somewhat of a source of humor for Charles Brady and his brother, Elliott.
Their father, U.S. Army Capt. Garry L. Brady, wasn't around for some of their most important milestones in life. The brothers, however, always understood and respected the reason for his absence — Air Force and Army training … medical school … tours of duty in the Middle East.
The latter would once again keep Capt. Brady away from Charles' latest milestone — taking the oath as a U.S. Army officer at Friday's Campbell University ROTC Commissioning Service in Turner Auditorium. A field medic who has risked his life on missions aboard Blackhawk helicopters, Capt. Brady was in Afghanistan Friday, nearly 7,000 miles away from his son and family who'd made the trip to Buies Creek from Savannah, Ga.
Only this time, Charles Brady's father didn't miss his son's big day. In fact — thanks to the wonders of technology — Capt. Brady played a big part in the ceremony.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. in North Carolina, Capt. Brady delivered the Oath of Commissioning to his son from Afghanistan [where it was 7 p.m.] via Skype. Facing a laptop computer and with his right hand raised, Charles Brady repeated his father's words before his mother, Ellen Brady, and other family members joined him onstage for the ceremonial pinning. Tears swelled in Ellen Brady's eyes as her husband could be seen sporting a big smile on a flatscreen television that faced the audience of about 100 people in Turner Auditorium.
Ellen Brady called the ceremony a "big moment" for her family.
"Before Garry was deployed, we knew this event was coming and that he wouldn't be able to get back in time for it," she said. "We'd talked about possibly using Skype [a video chat program], which is something military families often use so they can share graduations and other big moments. Campbell helped make it happen for us, and it was even better that Charlie's father was able to deliver the oath."
In addressing the crowd after his pinning, Charles Brady reflected on the "growing joke" between him and his brother about their father, adding that his presence — even if online — Friday made graduation weekend extra special for him. Following the ceremony, he talked about life in a military family.
"My dad's going on 28 years of service, and it's become a way of life for us," he said. "It meant a big deal for me to have him swear me in, and I'm even prouder that he did it while serving our country in Afghanistan. It was a proud moment for our entire family. If down the road I have a son and I'm the one who gets to swear him in as an officer, I'd be the proudest father ever. I can only imagine how my dad feels right now."
Eleven ROTC cadets were commissioned Friday — the pre-commencement ceremony honored their completion of Campbell Battalion's Advanced Course and successful graduation from the University. Joining Brady were Christopher Best, Christopher Childs, Steve Cochran, Kaylan Hernandez, Padraic Kenny, Alyssa Kulhanek, Joshua Rotsaert, Jennifer Schwitzgebel, Matthew Schwitzgebel and Nathaniel Wherley.
"This is a very big day in their lives and in their careers," said Lt. Col. Michael Mason. "Some are already particularly accomplished soldiers, and now they're taking another step to the rank of commissioned officers."
Guest speaker Col. Patrick Hynes, a 1991 graduate of the West Point Academy and current commander of the 2nd BCT 82nd Airborne Division, shared a story with the cadets about the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which fought several battles in the Civil War. The regiment is most noted for its service on the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, where is suffered an 82-percent casualty rate — the highest for any brigade in any U.S.-fought war before or since. The soldiers were outmanned 5 to 1 at Gettsyburg, yet they were ordered to charge Confederate forces to buy time for the arrival of back-up forces. Of the 262 men who fought, only 47 survived.
"Why did they fight?" Hynes asked, a hint of emotion in his voice. "Not for political ideology, but rather … they fought for you. You really fight for one another. Accepting that idea makes you a leader. And it brings us back to why you're here today."

Published December 19, 2013
One of the perks of going to a bowl game is receiving a bunch of gear to help remember the occasion. Each bowl provides a package of swag for the participating teams.
Wednesday evening, Buffalo players were called by class year into a hotel conference room to collect their gear. The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl provided players with a package containing jackets, hats, gloves and footballs with the bowl game date and their opponent on them.
"It's rewarding. It's a blessing that we're even here," said Tedroy Lynch, a junior defensive end from Shiremanstown, Pa. "Not everybody gets to make a bowl. You've got people who go through their whole college career and never make one. We're here right now, and the more things we have to remember it by the better."
In addition to the bowl gear, the bowl's corporate sponsors also provided items such as watches and electronics from which the players could choose. While players certainly appreciated those items, they seemed far more enthused by the Potato Bowl gear, which helped put into perspective just how special this moment is for the Bulls.
"It's amazing — the jacket, the gloves — I like it all. I'm gonna wear this stuff every day for the rest of my life, until it breaks, and then I'll be sad that I broke it," said a grinning Dalton Barksdale, a junior defensive lineman from Detroit.

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute in Pittsburgh, Pa, reported that they have found the first marker for bladder cancer.
The marker, called BLCA-4, is a tissue matrix protein found inside the nucleus of bladder cancer cells. The researchers said they detected BLCA-4 in 75% of bladder cancer samples studied, in 100% of noncancerous tissue from bladders that contained tumors, and in none of normal bladders from organ donors.
"Our results indicate that BLCA-4 appears in tissue before it becomes cancerous," said Robert Getzenberg, PhD, director of basic research at the institute's Prostate and Urologic Cancer Center. Because the marker is easily isolated from the urine, Getzenberg said BLCA-4 detection is an easy, effective method of finding people who are at risk of bladder cancer or have an early stage of disease.

870 Question
Tools and Technologies
> 870 Question
January 9, 2003, 03:52 PM
I bought a used Wingmaster the other day. It is only supposed to shoot 2 3/4. It will cycle 3 inch shells, does this mean it has been converted to shoot them? Thanks.

NO! If the barrel isn't marked for 3" shells DO NOT attempt to fire them! If the barrel is marked 2 3/4 inch, that is all that is safe to shoot. If you want to shoot 3" shells, get a barrel chambered for 3" shells.
January 9, 2003, 04:00 PM
I have a 3 inch barrel for it. I was wondering what is different about the chamber. Thanks.
January 9, 2003, 04:38 PM
The 3" chamber barrels have more steel in the longer chamber area to handle the higher pressures. They're also proofed to a higher standard than the 2 3/4" chamber barrels.
Dave McCracken
January 9, 2003, 06:22 PM
Here's the deal,Todd....
Blades is right, but it's only part of the story.
Grab the closest shell and measure it. A so called 3" shell is that long only when it's been fired. Until the crimp opens, it's more/less 2 3/4" long. IOW, a 3 inch shell fits nicely into a 2 3/4" chamber UNTIL IT'S FIRED! Then, the crimped portion expands into the forcing cone, pressure spikes way over SAAMI max, and it's not good for the longevity of either you or the shotgun.
FYI, shotguns and grenades have similar working pressures.
Also, most smiths capable of converting a 2 3/4" 870 to a 3" one are well aware of liability issues and wouldn't do it. 3" 870s are neither scarce nor expensive.
Frankenstein, my overpublicized parts 870, was converted to a 3" shotgun when I put it together. A gunsmith friend did the ejector change and other minor adjustments, and the barrel I used was a 3" from the getgo.
In truth,no great disadvantage ensues from having just a 2 3/4" 870, unless steel shot is mandated and not the alternatives for waterfowling. A standard 12 gauge WM is one very wonderful field gun, clays toy, and HD/CD tool. Enjoy...
January 9, 2003, 07:44 PM
It has a brand new 3 inch barrel that came off an Express on it. I was just wondering what the difference was between the receivers. I ran out of shells duck hunting today and shot some 3 inch shells out of it. It didn't blow up and it ejected the shells, but I still wasn't sure I should be shooting those shells out of it. I was just wondering if there was a way to tell if the person that had it before me had it converted to shoot 3 inch shells. It is no big deal to shoot 2 3/4, I usually shoot those anyway. Thanks.
January 9, 2003, 09:17 PM
It was my understanding that Remington started making all of their recievers 3" compatible, even the ones with 2 3/4" chambered barrels, about eight or ten years ago. I don't know if this is true though. Any info about that Dave McC?
Dave McCracken
January 10, 2003, 05:22 AM
Blades, I've heard both ways from folks that should know, so I can't help you there. Best way to see is if the serial number ends with M, for Magnum.
Todd, a good smith should be able to tell. I'm no smith.
Meanwhile, I'd stay with with 2 3/4".
BTW, what story did the shop tell you about why it has an Express barrel?
January 10, 2003, 06:11 AM
I bought the barrel off of Ebay. The guy had 12 of them. When the barrel got here the UPS label said it was from Vang Comp. I assumed they were take off from guns they were working on.
Dave McCracken
January 10, 2003, 06:22 AM
OK,did the WM have a barrel with it when you bought it? The codes on it may tell you how old it is.
And, those extra barrels are oft good starting points for SP use.
January 10, 2003, 11:51 AM
It had a 30 inch full choke barrel on it. The markings on it are
A1 and 80, it also has a star followed by 12 GA for 2 3/4 shells only and Remington Arms Co, Inc. Ilion, NY Made in USA. Thanks.
Dave McCracken
January 10, 2003, 08:01 PM
Todd, someplace on the barrel there should be a letter designation that codes the year. The star indicates there's a 55 degree shoulder on the chamber vs the earlier one of 45 degrees. Dunno why they changed.
Hang on to that barrel, earlier WM barrels are excellent...
January 10, 2003, 08:18 PM
There is also a G inside of a triangle, an X, and REP inside an oval. I was thinking of sending that barrel off and getting the choke opened to modified, would it be safe to shoot steel shot through? I like the barrel, it doesn't feel like 30 inches, it seems very light for that length. Thanks.
Dave McCracken
January 11, 2003, 06:00 AM
The X is a year code, Todd, later on I'll see if I can date it.
Earlier 870 barrels are wonderfully made, light and straight. And yes, you should be able to shoot steel with it if the choke's opened.However,2 3/4" steel may not be the best load out there. Hevi Shot is pricey, but some guides I know love the stuff. The Kent Tungsten is also regarded highly.
In your shoes,I'd be tempted to leave that barrel alone, using it for late pheasants and trap, and using the Espress with tubes for versatility. Aa long Full Choked barrel is a good thing to have.
If you just gotta tinker with it, have the cone lengthened, this improves patterns and cuts kick a smidge.
January 11, 2003, 12:36 PM
I was considering buying a short barrel with Rem Choke for my (new) older WM, but after pricing them, I decided it might be better to just buy another 870 with the barrel on it. Go the Dave route and have a different 870 for every occasion.
BTW, I've now got two 30" FC barrels, one 3" and one 2 3/4". I wouldn't consider altering them.
Dave McCracken
January 11, 2003, 01:05 PM
According to Kuhnhausen, that barrel was made in 1973, Todd.
870s do tend to accumulate, don't they?
January 11, 2003, 02:39 PM
This thread got me looking at my $225 WM and I notced its marks differ some from STB221's. My triangle has a dot in it, followed by a "Z", followed by the oval'd "R.E.P." What does that say for the barrel date? Does it match with a receiver's 1248nnnV sn? Thanks, not that I'm going to start collecting them, but it's nice to know.
Dave McCracken
January 11, 2003, 02:59 PM
Z means 1975, same source. The REP is the proof mark. To quote from the shop manual...
"... Reading the codes on the barrels can be difficult in certain cases".
It seems there was little continuity in Ilion at times.
It almost seems like some comedian stamped the barrels with anything he felt like just to confuse us...
A V serial number means it's a full sixed 12 gauge frame for 2 3/4" shells.

best pro biotics for kids we've found - and we've tested a large variety of good products
I love Florababy and have used it for years! My 6 yr old has a very sensitive pallet and is very sensitive to different textures. Florababy dissolves completely and she never even notices it is in her drink. My only complaint is I wish there was more of the powder in container. It comes only half full.
Highly recommend to purchase at local store

To assess the combined influence of blood pressure (BP), serum cholesterol level, and cigarette smoking on death from coronary heart disease (CHD) and to describe how these associations vary with age, data on those factors and on mortality for 316 099 men screened for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) were examined. Vital sta tus of participants has been determined after an average follow-up of 12 years; 6327 deaths from CHD have been identified. Strong graded relationships between serum cho lesterol levels above 4.65 mmol/L (180 mg/dL), systolic BP above 110 mm Hg, and diastolic BP above 70 mm Hg and mortality due to CHD were evident. Smokers with serum cholesterol and systolic BP levels in the highest quintiles had CHD death rates that were approximately 20 times greater than nonsmoking men with systolic BP and cholesterol lev els in the lowest quintile. Systolic and diastolic BP, serum cholesterol level, and cigarettes per day were significant predictors of death due to CHD in all age groups. Systolic BP was a stronger predictor than diastolic BP. These results, together with the findings of clinical trials, offer strong support for intensified preventive efforts in all age groups.

The lack of agreement as to what constitutes subclinical vitamin A deficiency and the uncertainty existing as to the order of the occurrence of the supposed early signs in relation to one another prompted the undertaking of this study. The various suggested symptoms of early avitaminosis A include: defective dark adaptation, macroscopic and microscopic changes in the skin and conjunctivas, changes in the total and differential white blood counts and decreased vitamin A content of the blood. Each of these factors has been investigated individually: there have been studies in which only two or three of the aforementioned signs have been followed in any one subject, the most usual method being to observe dark adaptation and one other sign. It was believed, therefore, that careful observations for all of the suggested subclinical signs of progressive vitamin A deficiency in the same subjects on a vitamin A—low diet would at least

Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit
The competition between fight games is harsh. It's not easy to compete against titles like Tekken, Soul Caliber and Street Fighter. Dragon Ball, the incredibly popular anime series, has already got some fight games on its name and Atari is known for the great Dragon Ball games they deliver. Will this game deliver sufficient innovation?
Although we all secretly hoped for another, though not specifically new, storyline than the one we are used to play from the previous Dragon Ball Z games, Atari kept their usual formula. Once again the story begins at the moment where Goku en Raditz are fighting for their lives and when you start playing the story mode you are immediately dropped in a fight without any explanation concerning the storyline of the anime series. So it's necessary, as in the previous Dragon Ball games, to have some background information about the story to fully enjoy this game. People who are not familiar with the anime series will have some big question marks when playing the story mode
Of course, the brawls on their own are very entertaining. Atari deserves a trophy for the great job they did creating fast and full of action fights like we are used from the series. It's almost impossible to follow the action with your eyes. From one corner of your television to the other. combat on the ground, in the air, changing of background… Button bashing till you have rigid fingers! And for the people who want to impress with powerful or fast attacks it's always possible, and highly recommended, to follow the tutorial.
Unfortunately the high speed of the combat is interrupted by the irritating 'Drama Pieces'. These are story related scenes that pop up every time you achieve a certain thing which can vary from accomplishing a special attack or receiving high damage. After such a scene your character is influenced with some positive effects like an increase in speed or powerful punches. Those Drama Pieces are in my opinion very irritating, very repeatedly and not well developed.
A huge pro compared to the previous Dragon Ball Z game is the addition of an online modus. Here you can really go nuts and prove that you are the real Goku or Gohan. Online brawls are much more exciting and give an extra dimension to the game. It's like you're fighting against a real person. Sweat dripping from your head, your fingers hurting of all the buttons you have to smash, our male ego wants to win and so it will. And like we are used from Xbox Live the complete online event is played without any lag. Nothing but satisfaction for this mode..
Graphically Burst Limit is a beauty. It's obvious that the emphasis lies in copying the anime series and not to create a realistic world. It's like you are watching the cartoon in high definition. Burst Limit contains a DTS Soundtrack which is sublime. Unfortunately the voice acting is terrible. The voices are not synchronous with their mouths and it's like each character has only a script of three sentences.
Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit is more of the same. Little innovation, little extras. Nevertheless!? Is it wrong to reuse a good formula? The whole package is solid, exciting and fast brawls, detailed graphics and an endless online world leads to one hell of a game. If you are a Dragon Ball Z enthusiast you probably already have this game and if you are not a devotee of the series it's time to become one!

CARIBBEAN SEA (Sept 10, 2013) The Colombian navy frigate ARC Independiente (F 52) positions with the Canadian navy frigate HMCS Ville de Quebec (F 280) for a live fire exercise during the 2013 UNITAS multinational maritime exercise hosted this year by the Colombian navy. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt. Cmdr. Corey Barker/Released)
NAVAL STATION MAYPORT, Fla. (NNS) -- Naval forces from 15 partner nations concluded UNITAS 2013, the 54th annual multinational maritime exercise, Sept. 15 in Cartagena, Colombia.
Hosted this year by the Colombian navy, UNITAS included naval forces from Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Peru, the United Kingdom and the United States, with observers from Belize, El Salvador, Germany, Jamaica, Panama and Mexico.
UNITAS, the longest-running exercise of its type in the world, has evolved and now includes training for many of the threats encountered in the 21st-century maritime environment, along with essential seamanship and navigational skills that are core competencies for maritime services in the Americas.
During 10 days at sea, 19 ships conducted a full spectrum of maritime operations, including electronic warfare, anti-air warfare and air defense, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and maritime interdiction operations.
U.S. 4th Fleet was represented by USS Rentz (FFG 46) and other naval units, including Patrol Squadron 10 (VP-10) and Destroyer Squadron 40.
"This was a robust schedule of events, packed with a myriad of warfare areas that stressed the multi-national forces and their ability to interoperate and work together towards common goals," said Cmdr. Lance Lantier, the commanding officer of the Rentz.
"Rentz could not have been prouder to represent the United States as the sole U.S. Navy ship to participate in UNITAS, and we could not be prouder to have successfully completed all events with enthusiasm and devastating firepower," he said. "Any ship invited to participate in this robust exercise in the future should be excited at the opportunity."
The immediate purpose of the exercise was to train participating forces in a variety of high-end maritime scenarios to test command and control of forces at sea, while operating as a multinational force to provide the maximum opportunity to improve interoperability.
"The training objectives of each one of the participating navies were incorporated during several planning conferences conducted before the exercise, allowing this year's UNITAS to provide effective training to increase interoperability while supporting the training requirements of all participating nations," said Rear Adm. Sinclair M. Harris, the commander of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command and U.S. 4th Fleet.
At the same time, the intense training resulted in coalition building, multilateral security cooperation and promoting friendship, professionalism and mutual understanding among the participating partner nations.
"UNITAS is undoubtedly a top-shelf training opportunity, but it much more than that," Harris said. "UNITAS builds lasting friendships, bonds and confidence among the participants, so when we are called to respond to a region or global crisis, we can do so as a coordinated and experienced team."
The next UNITAS exercise is scheduled for summer 2014.
U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command and U.S. 4th Fleet employ maritime forces in cooperative maritime security operations in order to maintain access, enhance interoperability, and build enduring partnerships that foster regional security in the U.S. Southern Command Area of Responsibility.

After initially refusing to apologize for his sex-advice tweets, New Jersey Senate candidate Phil Mitsch sounded more contrite in a statement released early Thursday evening.
"I would like to sincerely apologize for any offense I may have caused anyone, particularly women, as a result of a Twitter post that has recently been reported," Mitsch said.
He then explained the basis for the controversial tweet he posted Sept. 2 to his more than 44,000 followers: "Women, you increase your odds of keeping your men by being faithful, a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom."
"The specific tweet in question is an age-old saw most notably quoted by Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's ex-wife, in the early 1990's: 'My mother said in order to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a whore in the bedroom,' " the Republican candidate said in the statement. "I updated her quote with the fact that men should 'be faithful, a gentleman in the living room and a stud in the bedroom,' but looking back, I didn't update the original terminology enough to reflect 21st century sensibilities."

Joaquin Phoenix To Interview Magazine: Awards Season Is "Bullshit"
Even though Joaquin Phoenix turned in a standout performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, looks like we shouldn't expect him to be a fixture on the rubber chicken circuit. When Phoenix, who was Oscar-nominated for Walk The Line, was asked by Elvis Mitchell in Interview about the prospect of being put out on the awards circuit again, he responded thusly: "…I think it's bullshit. I think it's total, utter bullshit, and I don't want to be a part of it. I don't believe in it. It's a carrot, but it's the worst-tasting carrot I've ever tasted in my whole life. I don't want this carrot. It's totally subjective. Pitting people against each other . . . It's the stupidest thing in the whole world. It was one of the most uncomfortable periods of my life when Walk the Line was going through all the awards stuff and all that. I never want to have that experience again. I don't know how to explain it — and it's not like I'm in this place where I think I'm just above it — but I just don't ever want to get comfortable with that part of things."
Well, Joaquin, when your distributor is Harvey Weinstein, and he won the last two Best Picture Oscars, you will probably have to make the rounds no matter how you feel. You can take solace in the fact it can't be more uncomfortable than Phoenix's promotional tour for that mockumentary I'm Still Here. And if Phoenix doesn't alienate Oscar voters — he sounds a little naive and self-conscious — he has a good shot at winning, particularly if he is in the Best Supporting Actor category.
Meet the new "Brando".
It's not that he's as great an actor as Brando.
But he's as big a pain in the ass as Marlon was.
The takeaway from the article is that Casey Affleck pushed him into completely turning off America to him. Phoenix is not 8 and should have had the self-awareness that he wouldn't fool anyone who half a brain, e.g., the educated public. But it wasn't Casey who had to deal with being thought of as a complete fool.
The Oscars are bullshit. Anybody in the business knows that. Doesn't mean everyone in the business doesn't secretly want one.
Phoenix, don't worry about it – you don't stand a chance to win with your over the top and hollow posturing.
captain, thank you. Joanquin Phoenix's performance is almost unbearable, and annoying. But, the film critics are overrating his performance. That is why I don't rely on critic reviews.
Why would he be in the supporting category? He is the main character of The Master…
The forces at be won't like his comments but i support his statement. Every year we have to accept some pretty unworthy carrots at the oscars.
if he's nominated and honest,he won't go to the awards shows next year
You read my mind. Sitting and waiting now…
Good for him. Awards season is utter nonsense.
"he has a good shot at winning, particularly if he is in the Best Supporting Actor category."
WTF – he's the LEAD of the film. It opens with him. It ends with him. He's got to have about 1/3 more screen time than PSH – so how could he ever be considered supporting in THE MASTER?
I want a Joaquin vs. DDL (in LINCOLN) standoff in Best Actor this year, seeing Anderson directed DDL to his Oscar… and I want Joaquin to win!!!
zzz zzz zzz
This is newsworthy why?
And fyi, this is what I did during THE MASTER much as I did for this interview:
zzz zzz zzz zzz "Oh look, self indulgence," zzz zzz zzz
he isn't a hair on his brother's balls.
Anyone whose name helps secure financing for a film has the obligation to support it. The Oscars, Golden Globes, Peoples Choice, etc. are advertisements for the industry. Integrity vests in the work itself; asking people to go see it is simple pride.
This is the guy behind I'M NOT HERE. His record of shameless exhibitionism exposes him for the phony he is.
Yes, give this man an Oscar for speaking the truth. Everyone already knows it's "bullshit" = it's not breaking news. Sometimes, it's still fun to guess outcomes but surely everyone knows it's fixed. At least, he's honest with having opinions and I thought he would be in the Best Actors category?
Joaquin Phoenix interviewed by Elvis Mitchell. A Blowhard interviewed by a Gasbag. Or is it the other way around?
I love this guy and loved the work he did in The Master and the wacked out human performance art of the I'm Still Here period. He deserves the town's respect and Harvey willmlook like a joke if he can't get him in line.
the Best Supporting Actor ??????????????
The great iconic Ms. Katharine Hepburn most likely assessed the awards in the same manner…the difference between her & Mr. Phoenix, however, is that she did it w/ a quiet dignity, reserve & respect…he does it w/ his repulsive, vulgar mouth flapping, spewing profanities as if he's entitled…
No. She did it before the Internet era, when every comment wasn't painstakingly over analyzed to death.
I agree with Gymrat. Hepburn expressed her opinions with grace and style; so do many actors and actresses working today (Meryl Streep comes to mind). Phoenix is not one of them.
Is there a sentient human being who doesn't think giving objective, superlative awards for a subjective artform isn't bullshit?
I understand the season's public relations value for an industry selling product, but the notion of one piece of art or performance being objectively better than another is remarkably childish.
Yes, all these imdustry awards (Golden Globes, Emmys, etc) are PR stunts to promote the industry. Everyone with a brain knows this already, its not breaking news, let's just move on.
It's pretty obvious that Joaquin's life has become a struggle against celebrity and forever questioning what people want from him. But at least he's honest and self-aware about it. And I don't think there's anything wrong with it– that questioning is itself rooted in honesty and integrity. As to whether or not he's difficult to work with, I can't say. But I imagine he would be. In his case though, it would be a difficulty I would understand, and there's a prodigious talent behind it. In fact, part of the brilliance of PTA's The Master is in harnessing Phoenix's struggle into the character's, and building a timeless and meaningful film around it.
Which is a far cry from Charlie Sheen's mentally ill narcissism and drug-fueled appetites– something a lot of people seemed all too eager to support. I just hope that if Phoenix still needs any kind of help he gets it– I think the consequences of having his brother die in his arms on the sidewalk outside of the Viper Room, and having seen what became of his young talent at the hands of the Hollywood machine, are still percolating twenty years later and coloring the way he sees the world and how he's able to trust people– how could it not?
Guy is being honest. It's an interesting interview, and anyone dumping on him should read it. Very self-effacing, and his insights into I'm Still Here are great. And I say that as someone who thought the whole stunt was ridiculous. The way he talks about how frightened he was doing ISH, along with his admissions that he feels totally nervous every day he is on a set, are refreshing and human and made me respect him a ton. Plus I don't think anyone who has seen The Master, no matter their thoughts on the movie or the character, will ever forget that performance. So here we have an honest performer who is doing his best to create interesting characters, and some people shit on him because he doesn't want to go through awards show stuff?
Excellent and thoughtful point. It's a very refreshing interview. He called bullshit on something that's bullshit: what's the problem?
I don't see the point of nominations if, between buzz and precursors, you already know who's going to win (for the most part) at the Globes, at SAG and at the Oscars.
Kudos to Joaquin Pheonix. He was wonderful in "Walk the Line". That was a tough year in the Best Actor category.
And this is why Philip Seymour Hoffman WILL be nominated.
If someone would just clue him in that all awards in showbiz are indeed bullshit, were created as a sales/hype vehicle and remain so, maybe he'd lighten up. It's just like doing press, part of the gig if you're in the mix that year. Relax man.
Those comments are obviously going to offend most industry people on a website like this. Kind of funny.
Joaquin Phoenix speaks truth and I'm Still Here was hysterical.
As the old joke goes: Awards are like hemorrhoids: sooner or later everyone gets one.
First of all, his performance in the film stands on its own and shouldn't require campaigning for people to notice that he delivered a beautiful performance. The guy can act his ass off. And I don't need an "awards campaign" to tell me that. I saw the movie.
Secondly, what is so bad about what he said? He doesn't want to do a monkey dance to get an award? He doesn't want to be pitted against his peers? He doesn't think art should be treated like a contest?
Honestly, I respect his position on it.

Newer partners, senior assoicates and even third-years have been given their marching orders -- seek out new opportunities, pursue leads, get in front of prospects and close those deals. As in the Marco/Polo kids game, start popping up whenever and wherever there are prospects.
A few of the basic business development tools we find simplest to implement for our clients are discussed below and in following posts. They are designed for firm leadership which must take a strong role in making it all happen and ensure follow up is a constant.
Marketing IS like algebra. Keep this overarching theme in mind. Find a formula that works for each attorney, help them refine it when needed, and keep using it. One size does not fit all. Marketing should be tailored according to personality, needs of the firm and needs of the client.
One tactic that works for one won't necessarily work for another. In our work wiht clients the tools are simple, easy to implement and produce measurable results.

Teaching children about their five senses?
This is a great daycare activity because the senses book helps to reinforce what has already been learned. There are pages for each one of the senses; sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. As you are teaching about each of the senses, have them also create a page for their own take-home book. This project was interesting, in that, each completed booklet was unique. The children may have made different pictures but it was clear they understood the concept.
Print out both pages of the book for each child. Cut on the lines to form six pages. Staple the pages together on the left side to create a booklet.
This book can be used in a couple of ways. Either have the children draw pictures with markers and crayons, OR have them find pictures in old magazines to paste in the appropriate area.
*Because children learn best through repetition, teach one of the senses each day for a week, and let the children fill in the correct page at the end of the day.
This booklet will build upon what has already been learned. It will also offer your daycare children a way to share their experience with their parents.

do you have a a goal in mind, or is this strictly for saving time? were you able to consume sufficient cals during the day? you're "thin" and still growing.
Yesterday I tried having a really big breakfast and nothing else for the entire day but some fruit (so blood sugar doesn't get too low), so far I haven't been hungry at all, I feel generally better (I hate having my stomach full) and I've saved almost an hour of time that I would have otherwise spent eating.
I don't see anything wrong with this, as I'm eating some fruit I'm neither in ketosis nor with IF, is there a problem?
P.S: (almost) 16 years old, thin, somewhat athletic and without any sort of illness or health problem.

As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.

The pancreas takes care of this. One of it's functions is to keep blood sugar stable. When you don't eat at all, it produces glucagon in order to raise blood sugar. And when you eat food, it produces insulin in order to bring the blood sugar back down. That's the short answer. In reality, your blood sugar will be more stable if you eat less frequently than if you eat all the time.
Typically, the one meal of the day is more towards the middle of the day/early evening (the Warrior Diet).
To be quite honest, I wouldn't recommend this for someone who's 16 and still growing, but if you're consuming adequate calories and you're legitimately not hungry, I guess there's nothing wrong with it. At 16 years old, you should just be listening to your body and giving it what it needs.

I know the theory thanks But so far I only know that I can't fast without all sorts of side effects, so I eat fruit, this way I don't enter ketosis nor IF.
I eat 2 meals a day and feel generally pretty great, minus a tiny bit of irritability before my first meal of the day, but that's taken care of quite easily thanks to my first meal! Do whatever works for you - no harm in that!
