It's Border Battle Week between Wisconsin and the fine folks of Eastern Dakota University. As such we reached out to one of their kind to get the skinny on the impending trip to Williams Arena for the Badgers basketball team. The Gophs are on the verge of meltdown as they went from a Top 15 team to out of the rankings in a matter of just two weeks. I guess that's what losing 6 of 8 will do to you, no matter how good your non-conference season was.
We sat down behind enemy lines with Tom from The Daily Gopher and he was kind enough to give us some of his insight into what's been happening around Eastern Dakota University's so-called Basketball team. So, give the site a follow on Twitter and enjoy!
MTB: Things started off so well for you guys this season, playing well in the Battle for Atlantis, winning over MSU to start B1G play… Now you've lost 6 of your last 8 games and are below .500 in league play. What happened and can it be turned around?
TDG: There are a vast number of theories, most of them stem from Tubby Smith. February swoons are an annual event for Gopher basketball under Tubby Smith. The last three seasons (2011, 2012 and 2013) Tubby's February record is 3-15. But the record is a symptom, in my opinion the problem is that we are playing to the style of other teams not playing a style that best fits our roster. In the non-conference this team would apply defensive pressure, usually of the full-court nature and that would lead to offensive opportunities. Against Big Ten opponents Tubby must believe there is a secret pact that you have to slow down and play a half-court game. This is not our strength and plays into the hands of certain teams (particular evil red ones to our immediate east).
In the half-court we are too reliant on offensive rebounds to maintain a decent point per possession number. But our turnovers and poor defensive rebounding give back too many possessions and we typically come up short against the upper half of the Big Ten.
MTB: Fire Tubby, Fire the AD – where do you come down on these subjects considering we haven't even finished the season at this point?
TDG: Nobody is saying fire the AD, he is brand new and most people think he is taking the athletic department in a good direction. On Tubby I'm not 100% certain of what I'd like to see. It is true that he isn't taking us to the next level, with no signs that it is coming soon. But on the other hand he is going to take us to the NCAA Tournament for the 3rd time in 6 seasons, so it isn't like he is pulling the program to the bottom tier of the conference either. Right now I think the best case scenario is that Tubby accepts a job elsewhere in the offseason and we move on. I don't think he has been so terrible that you pay him $2.5 million to walk away, but I won't be crying to see him leave of his own volition. I actually think that this is a likely scenario. Then the desperate hope among Gopher fans is that Shaka Smart will be convinced to come and work for his old boss again. I think that is an unlikely scenario.
MTB: On the court this team has seemingly had the life taken out of it's offense, who needs to step up or what needs to change for this team to get it's mojo back?
TDG: They need to play aggressive, particularly on the defensive end that will lead to aggressive offensive play. Tubby is so concerned about our turnover problem, which is a genuine problem, that I think he has the offense playing really tight. If turnovers happen from being aggressive, I think we should learn to live with that. Lazy passes that are stolen for lay-ups should result in some sort of Biblical punishment like getting your hands chopped off or being stoned. But pushing the ball and having it end up out of bounds is acceptable to me (for this team) if it means we are attacking the basket. Other than that we need continue to crash the offensive glass for extra offensive chances.
MTB: What matchup do you see as being key to getting a victory over Wisconsin?
TDG: I don't know that there is a particular match-up in this game that is any more important than any other. Whoever is guarding Brust and Dekker need to make sure they don't get open looks. In the paint Mbakwe, Williams, Eliason and Ingram need to defend Berggren. Andre Hollins needs to win his match-up at point. It is all over the floor, we just need to defend well. If I had to pick one thing I would say that the Gophers need to box out and get defensive rebounds limiting the Badger's offensive chances. That isn't a personnel match-up but it is absolutely critical for the Gophers to come out ahead.
MTB: A little off the subject at hand, but do you even know what the Axe looks like?
TDG: Didn't you used to have a hockey team?
MTB: It must be sad when all you have to brag about is your hockey team, yikes… Let's hope UW never gets to the point where we ever have to resort to the "well our hockey team is better than yours" as our main argument point, huh?
MTB: Prediction & why?
TDG: I'd really like to think that this is going to be a bounce-back game for the Gophers. But I think they are a beaten team that is not playing with any life or confidence. I'd love to see some effort to speed up the game and pull out a big home win. I just don't see it happening right now.

Payload Herbicide stops kochia, pigweeds, Russian thistle and more than 100 other weeds. A preemergence, broadleaf and grass herbicide for bareground uses, Payload offers both pre- and postemergent activity and controls weeds resistant to triazine, ALS and synthetic auxin herbicides. It has a new active ingredient for IVM (flumioxazin), a wide application window and low use rates (ounces versus pounds). Professionals in IVM can rely on Payload for season-long weed control
GENERAL INFORMATION: Payload is a selective herbicide to maintain bare ground non-crop areas when used in accordance with this label. Payload is effective as a preemergence and/or postemergence herbicide for control of selected grass and broadleaf weeds.
Payload controls weeds by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an essential enzyme required by plants for chlorophyll biosynthesis. Seedling weeds are controlled preemergence when exposed to sunlight following contact with the soil applied herbicide. Preemergence weed control with Payload is most effective when applied to clean, weed free soil surfaces. Disturbing soil surfaces may reduce herbicide efficacy. Emerged weeds are controlled postemergence with Payload by inhibiting the same enzyme in plants with preemergence applications. The most effective postemergence weed control with Payload occurs when applied in combination with a surfactant to weeds less than 2 inches in height.

I am finishing up a week of vacation in California. I was up in the mountains on a fishing trip but still managed to get some serious gaming done. I beat the special worlds of Super Mario 3D Land and have a 4 star rating. I still need to get that 5th star (by beating every level with Mario and Luigi) to unlock the final level. I think when I first beat the game (before I unlocked the special worlds) I thought it was an okay game but not really fleshed out enough, like they didn't really put enough time into its development. But the special worlds changed all that. Especially S7 and S8... man, I died a ton on some of those levels. I think they kinda relied a little too heavily on time limits and cosmic Mario (sometimes both at he same time!) to add challenge but it definitely was a lot of fun and I felt quite accomplished when I beat Bowser at the end.
Anyways I am very happy with this game. Definitely the best Mario game ever on a portable system. Speaking of great games, I finally beat Super Mario Galaxy 2 a couple weeks ago. And by beat I mean I completely finished it... earned all 242 stars and acquired the title "Master of Galaxies". I really liked the original Galaxy but didn't care so much for having to play through the exact game again with Luigi to complete it just to give the game more replay value. The green star challenge in Galaxy 2 was way more fun and unique. I was about to launch my Wiimote through my television screen at a few points when trying to beat the final level (Grandmaster Galaxy perfect run) but man I felt great when I finally beat it.
So that brings me to the question... is this my favorite game of all time? It is definitely up there. I can't get over how well-designed it was and improved over Galaxy 1. Also, the ending credits heme is one of he best video game tunes I've ever heard.
Okay, enough gushing about Mario games. Quick update on my current gaming. In addition to working on completing 3D Land, I am currently playing through NSMB2 and have made it my goal to finish Phantom Hourglass. Meanwhile on Wii I am playing brought Donkey Kong Country Returns (geez, that game is quite difficult). Tchüßchens!

4 Reasons Commercials Are Sexist (Against Men)
#2. Jokes Need Idiots
If we just ignore the genders from the commercials, these are simply short, 30-second stories about idiots. Which isn't an unreasonable thing to do; ads work a lot better when there's an element of humor in them, and idiots and their antics are an excellent source of humor. During the laff-preparation stage of many of my columns, I've regularly thrown an idiot into the mix, often portraying myself, my co-workers, celebrities and even minor deities as idiots.
Wikimedia Commons
I took a lot of flak from Saturnites for calling Saturnus an idiot, but seriously, look at him. Even his knife's embarrassed to be seen near him.
But why then are men always the idiots? If we were to flip the scenario around, and were advertising a product that was primarily bought by men, could we get away with making a lady idiot? Why don't we have an ad for, say, a new type of screwdriver, which features a wife who keeps confusing a screwdriver with a band saw while her husband looks on, a stunned expression on his face as she accidentally saws a fucking car in half? Turnabout's fair play, right?
Or maybe we can't do that, because ...
#1. Men Are the Only People Who Can Be Mocked Any More
I ended up stumbling upon a number of very angry, very man-oriented, slightly foaming-at-the-mouth blogs and message boards while researching this column, where this was far and away the most popular theory explaining the existence of "dumb dad" ads. The way this goes is that due to "political correctness," advertisers will only depict men in an unflattering light. If a company ever made an ad depicting a woman as unintelligent, the militant feminists who control the media would go completely mental (femental?) and ruin that company forever.
Which isn't a bad theory -- there are significant differences in how often stupidity is portrayed among men and women in the modern media -- but it misses a bit of the bigger picture. Although there isn't a large number of "dumb wife" commercials, there are still plenty of ads that are otherwise unflattering to women. Like the Axe body spray ads that imply that women will charge directly at your junk as soon as you start smelling like a chemical toilet. Or the beer or pickup truck ads with their subtle mockery of anyone participating in "female" activities like book clubs or shampooing or listening. Also consider anything that GoDaddy.com has ever made. Then, consider the ads that GoDaddy.com didn't make. The ones someone had to talk them out of.
Stepping back even further, to the biggerer picture, we can see that men, even dumb ones, still have a pretty easy time of it, having many advantages in our society. Basically all of them, really:
- Higher salaries
- Less pressure to maintain a certain body image
- More streamlined role in baby-making
- Height
- People don't flip out if they have a career and not a family
- People don't flip out if they have a family and not a career
- People don't flip out if they have a family and a career
- Easier presidential candidacies
There's no escaping the fact that these "dumb dad" ads are sexist, and some of the worst, like that Huggies ad, are truly vile. But this isn't a sign of an overarching feminist conspiracy or of the looming collapse of masculinity. There's too much sexism still flying back at women for that claim to be credible. No, it's just lazy, stupid marketers, running with a lazy, stupid formula. If the ads offend you, don't buy the products. Write angry letters. Fill a diaper to the brim with your leavings and mail it to Huggies. Or just bitch on the Internet. Those are all acceptable responses to a stupid ad.
And if you happen to work for a marketing company? Maybe come up with a new, less lazy formula.
And also maybe don't open any mail that feels squishy.

As you (hopefully) know by now, we released our first public beta of Windows Live Photo Gallery a few days ago. Even though we're not quite done tinkering with it I'd like to tell you about one of the best new features we've worked hard on these last few months.
First, a question: Why do most people take photos? OK, I admit, there isn't a 100% correct answer to that question but I'd be willing to bet something along the lines of "to share with my friends and family" would be darn near the top. In fact, when I was at CES earlier this year and I was working at the Microsoft Digital Memories booth, hands down the most frequently asked question I got was "Can I publish my photos to the web from the Photo Gallery?". Sadly, at the time, we didn't have any features that enabled this but we heard you loud and clear!
The brand new Publish on Windows Live Spaces feature provides a seamless and streamlined way to share your digital photos on your space directly from the same application you use to import, organize and edit them. Allow me to walk through the play by play:
After you've selected one or more photos you'd like to publish on your space, click on the Publish button and then select Publish on Windows Live Spaces…
In order to enable users to publish on Windows Live Spaces, we needed a way to allow users to sign in with their Windows Live ID (a.k.a. Passport). So, if you're not already signed in with your Live ID in the Photo Gallery you'll be asked to sign in when you try to publish. Since Photo Gallery is integrated with Live ID, as soon as you sign in with your Live ID we'll automatically know your space information so you won't be asked to provide any information or configure anything. If you've never even used Spaces before, no worries… the first time you publish photos we'll take care of setting up your new space and we'll even configure it to use one of the photo themes available on Spaces. Nice, eh? 😉
OK, so after you've signed in the Publish on Windows Live Spaces dialog will appear (below). You have two main choices when it comes to publishing: you can either publish your photos in a new album or to an existing one already on your space. The default option is a new album. The thumbnail displayed as the new album cover will be automatically chosen based on the data taken metadata. The album title will be pre-populated with the folder name where that first image is located on your hard drive. The idea is when you import your photos many users give the folder containing the set of photos a useful name, so we'll assume that might be a good starting point, but you can change it. If you're looking to allow people to enjoy great prints and full screen slides shows of your shared photos, select the Optimize photos for printing check box (checked by default in a few markets).
If you don't want to create a new photo album and just want to keep adding photos to an existing album on your space, click the Add to an existing album link (on the main Publish dialog, above) and we'll show you the list of albums on your space. We provide a rich look by showing you the album cover, album title, the last modified date, # of photos and eventually the permission (note: during the Beta the permission displayed will always be "Public" because we haven't quite finished this dialog yet).
Regardless if you choose to publish to a new album or an existing one, once you click on the Publish button on the dialogs above, the upload progress will appear. *Power user tip* If you want to upload more than one group of photos at a time, you can! As one group is being uploaded, you can select some more photos and repeat the publish steps. As photos are being uploaded, the follow-up publishes will be queued up behind each other and will start automatically as the previous one completes. Try it out!
As each upload completes a summary dialog will appear (below). We're guessing most users will always want to check out the album online, maybe customize it, and then send a link to it to their friends. The View album button gets you to the album directly.
That's the Publish on Windows Live Spaces feature in a nutshell. Since we're in Beta we'd love to get your feedback. What do you like? What do you hate? What can we do to make your photo sharing experience better?
– Michael Palermiti (Program Manager)

Miami couldn't stand the heat in Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals, as the San Antonio Spurs dominated the game in the fourth quarter to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
In a rematch of last year's NBA championship, the Spurs got off on the right foot in Game 1 with strong performances up and down the roster. Gregg Popovich used his team's depth to perfection—as usual—and Miami's Big Three was unable to contend with Popovich's mastery of his roster.
The Heat will have to come back strong in Game 2. If the Spurs go up 2-0 in the series, then it will not be easy for Miami to win its third straight title.
A veteran team like San Antonio won't let a second straight Finals slip away.
Below is all the viewing information you'll need to watch the action unfold.

LeBron's Cramps
LeBron James had a strong showing in Game 1, even if he left early due to cramps:
LeBron James left a 2-point game due to cramps with 3:59 left. He still led all scorers in Game 1 w/ 25 Pts. pic.twitter.com/VgRTb5VCoD— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) June 6, 2014
Cramping isn't something that will hinder James in the rest of the series. Staying hydrated should help him in that regard. If the world's best player had a history of cramp issues, I would be worried. But he doesn't, so I'm not.
Will LeBron's Game 1 cramps prove detrimental to the team's outlook?
With that said, the cramps in Game 1 could prove to be huge. As the above tweet noted, it was just a two-point game when he left. His loss was felt by the Heat on both offense and defense.
As a two-way player, James makes his presence felt on both ends of the floor.
Without him, the Heat were unable to stave off the Spurs and win the first game of the series.
James' absence didn't hand San Antonio the game, as Popovich's squad still had to work hard to earn the win. However, with James on the court, I'm not so sure the Spurs would have hit 14 of their 16 shots in the fourth quarter.
The Spurs now only need three wins to take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Will LeBron's cramps in Game 1 do the Heat in?
San Antonio's 4th Quarter Dominance
Here's a bold prediction for you: The Spurs will not lose another game if they fire on all cylinders in the fourth quarter like they did in Game 1.
ESPN Stats & Info provided its Twitter followers with a shot chart:
The Spurs were incredible in the 4th quarter last night. They went 14-16, including 6-6 from 3 pic.twitter.com/tFbZJ02H9A— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) June 6, 2014
The key stat there is that the team was 6-of-6 from long range. The Spurs' ability to convert from deep is crucial to the outcome of the rest of the series. Danny Green can take games over with his shot when it's on. That makes him something of an X-factor in this series, especially in fourth quarters.
In the fourth quarter of close games, the team with the most mental vitality often wins.
San Antonio is helmed by perhaps the most mentally tough coach in the NBA, so that obviously bodes well for the Spurs moving forward.
Barring a blowout in the first three quarters, there is absolutely no way the Spurs drop a game if they keep up a consistent fourth-quarter attack. Tim Duncan won't let it happen, especially after last season's fourth-quarter meltdown in Game 6 of the Finals.
They'll be using that as motivation.

UK,Australia,Europe Dont have Ps3s Yet, PSP sells the most in the UK ( from what i read ), those countrys will give sales a healthy boost come March.
Although some people don't realise that those two countries are two of the main countries in the game industry... Plus the U.S is huge compared to any other country
UK,Australia,Europe Dont have Ps3s Yet, PSP sells the most in the UK ( from what i read ), those countrys will give sales a healthy boost come March.
Near Future Wii Owner And Future PS3 owner.
I doubt it... if you lived in the UK, you'd know that most of the PS1/2 fanboys are actually dole-bound chavs, who really, really won't be able to afford a PS3 in the next year, and the reason they sell PSP's so much is because they're very, very cheap over here, and that they've been hacked to bits
*edit* put PS2 instead of PS3
Well Only Time will tell, if your right and with a world wide release of the ps3 resulting in still slow sales, i would suspect a huge price drop to match the xbox360, thats actually a great outcome for me. Heres hoping Lol.
Near Future Wii Owner And Future PS3 owner.
Well if there was a price drop like that i would probably get one, just for the sake of it (gettign a job in the next week or two) but i doubt it'll happen, like i mentioned in one of the other threads i'm sure you've read, sony is losing a LOT of money on each PS3 sold, so a price drop for them would just be stupid, i think a pull from the market is more likely, with my limited experience in business, that is
In saying that,a price drop is not a good idea, Then the price thats so high for Ps3,to sony was only right buisness sence, but with a price drop,they could make up for the profit gains their not achieving, right now selling in the thousands,a price drop would probably bring the figure into the millions almost instantly, thats the most realistic slide of a console strategy as the millions shifted would add up more than the thousands,$$$ Wise,assuming.

lmao, so the rest of the worlds combined hardware and software sales is nothing? , go check some figures on the PAL sales.
Near Future Wii Owner And Future PS3 owner.
I don't think that a price drop would make any sense at all, because then they would be losing nearly double what they are now, just to make the price acceptable, and for each one they sell now, they have to sell around 8-10 games for each system, just to break even, with a price drop, they would have to sell 16-20 games for each system sold just to break even, and considering a PS3 game is going to be around £50-£60 each, because of the strange format of the disk, then with a price drop the comsumer would have to spend £800-£1000 on games... could you see yourself, or anyone you know spending that much on games? i know i couldnt...
The most likely plan in case of failure if either an affiliation with another company, do a "SEGA", withdraw from the market entirely and stick to what they do best, or a complete redesign of the console itself, to offer a cheaper, more profitable way to play, which would probably mean either omitting the Blu-Ray drive, or reducing the processing power of the PS3, completely destroying the original reasons someone at this time would buy a PS3, and rendering all the old games/movies completely unusable with the new system, and potentially ending their life as a console maker anyway, because of those reasons.
If a system bombs in Japan and the U.S., it would take some spectacular sales elsewhere to make up for it.Originally Posted by Mario Racer

Basing his studies on the scientific advances of the last half century and on clinical experience and exact observations, the author attempts to lay down principles for the guidance of the young physician. He divides remedies into four classes: etiologic or nosocratic, organic and functional, symptomatic, and reparative.
In dealing with the action of medicines a most important distinction is made between toxic and utilizable actions, both of which are included by pharmacologists under the term "physiologic." The author defines toxic action as follows: "The action on the organism of any substance which, in a relatively small dose, is capable of producing reactional, material or functional disorders, remarkable by their intensity, duration or gravity, whether these disorders be immediately appreciable or secondary and more or less slow in development." He says, "It is now obvious how far we are from an equation between toxicity and death."

The manuals for the RP05/RP06 specifically state that only one drive
should be daisy-chained from a second (i.e., no more than two on one
receptacle). Depending on how your receptacles are wired, that doesn't
necessarily mean that three or four drives require two circuits.
The RP05/RP06 spindle motor is a single phase motor wired across two
phases of the three-phase power (208 VAC phase-to-phase), and a DC logic
supply wired between one phase and neutral (120 VAC). The daisy chain
receptacle is wired with the phases rotated, to distribute the load.
If you did daisy chain a third drive (despite the manual saying not to
do so), the power load would be fairly evenly loaded if all three drives
were spinning. Otherwise, if the third drive is plugged into a separate
receptacle, it would be wise to make sure that the phases to that
receptacle are rotated.
The RP06/RP06 motor is actually rated by the manufacturer (Memorex) for
a fairly wide voltage range, so if three-phase is not available, it is
possible to wire an RP05/RP06 for use on a 240VAC split-phase with
neutral circuit (four-contact NEMA 14-15R, 14-20R, 14-30R, etc.
receptacles), If the neutral is not available, the spindle motor can
be wired across the 240VAC and a step-down transformer used to power
the logic supply.

Most DSLR cameras have small flashes integrated within their bodies, and so you may not feel you need one if you're just starting out. Nevertheless, there are many reasons why you may at some point go for a separate unit.
These are far more powerful than the ones included in DSLRs, and those with tilt and swivel functionality are more flexible in relation to how their light is output. They can also be used off-camera for a more flattering illumination, as well as in combination with other flashguns for multiple-flash setups.
Here are our favourite dedicated flash guns, with different prices to suit different budgets.
Canon Speedlite 430EX II
Canon Speedlite 430EX II - £188
This Speedlite is easy to use, with direct access to advanced modes such as high-speed sync and rear-curtain flash, along with super-fast, silent recycling circuitry. It also works well as a wireless slave in multi-flashgun setups, but maximum flash power is a little on the low side.
Jessops 360 AFD
Jessops 360 AFD - £79
A dedicated alternative for Canon, Nikon and Sony DSLRs, this flashgun has a fairly limited feature set, although the basics are pretty well covered. The motorised zoom is quite slow, as is recycling speed, but the flashgun works effectively as a light-sensitive slave unit.
Nissin Speedlite Di866 Pro
Nissin Speedlite Di866 Pro - £181
Made in Canon or Nikon dedicated options, this is one of the best flashguns on the market, with a nice LCD display, plenty of power and a huge range of upmarket features, including full master/slave wireless operation. A secondary sub-flash is good for fill-in lighting and there's an optional quick-change battery cradle.
Sunpak PZ42X
Built in Canon, Nikon and Sony options, this dedicated flashgun builds motorised zoom, bounce and swivel, autofocus assist and TTL metering into a neat and compact package. There aren't any wireless master/slave functions, but the Sunpak is a solid performer that's very easy to use. It's a bargain at the price.

Although nuclear power plants only provid about 12% of the world's electricity production, growing energy demand put Cameco Corp. (NYSE: CCJ) in a position to benefit. The company is engaged in the exploration, development, mining, refining, conversion and fabrication of uranium for sale as fuel for generating electricity in nuclear power reactors.
The 2011 and 2012 share price lows held at the 2009 $16 a share breakout level. A nearly 40% rally since November 2012 stalled recently at resistance at $23. A push above that level targets $30, the halfway point of the $44 high to recent lows.
The $30 target is almost 40% higher than current prices, but traders who use a capital-preserving, stock substitution strategy could more than double their money on a move to that level.
One major advantage of using long call options rather than buying the stock outright is putting up much less to control 100 shares -- that's the power of leverage. But with all of the potential strike and expiration combinations, choosing an option can be a daunting task.
Simply put, you want to buy a high-probability option that has enough time to be right, so there are two rules traders should follow:
Rule One: Choose an option with 70%-plus probability.
An option's strike price is the level at which the options buyer has the right to purchase the underlying stock or exchange-traded fund (ETF) without any obligation to do so. (In reality, you rarely convert the option into shares, but rather simply sell back the option you bought to exit the trade for a gain or loss.)
Any trade has a 50/50 chance of success. Buying in-the-money options increases that probability. It is important to buy options that pay off from a modest price move in the underlying stock or ETF rather than those that only make money on the infrequent price explosion. In-the-money options are more expensive, but they're worth it, as your chances of success are mathematically superior to buying cheap, out-of-the-money options that rarely pay off.
The options Greek delta also approximates the odds that the option will be in the money at expiration. Delta is a measurement of how well an option follows the movement in the underlying security.
With Cameco stock trading at about $21.55 at the time of this writing, an in-the-money $17 strike call currently has $4.55 in real or intrinsic value. The remainder of any premium is the time value of the option.
Rule Two: Buy more time until expiration than you may need -- at least three to six months -- for the trade to develop.
Time is an investor's greatest asset when you have completely limited the exposure risks. Traders often do not buy enough time for the trade to achieve profitable results. Nothing is more frustrating than being right about a move only after the option has expired.
With these rules in mind, I would recommend the Cameco Jan 2015 17 Calls at $5.50 or less.
A close below $17 in the stock on a weekly basis or the loss of half of the option premium would trigger an exit. If you do not use a stop, the maximum loss is still limited to the $550 or less paid per option contract. The upside, on the other hand, is unlimited. And the January options give the bull trend almost a year to develop.
This trade breaks even at $22.50 ($17 strike plus $5.50 option premium). That is less than $1 above Cameco's current price. If shares hit the upside breakout target of $30, then the call options would have $13 of intrinsic value and deliver a gain of more than 100%.
Action to Take --> Buy Cameco Jan 2015 17 Calls at $5.50 or less. Set stop-loss at $2.75. Set initial price target at $13 for a potential 137% gain in 11 months.

Sen. John McCain would 'probably change' Redskins name
Senator John McCain said he would 'probably change' the Redskins name.
More Draft coverage: Mock Drafts | Prospect Rankings | Big Board | News
The discussion of the Redskins nickname isn't going away. Senator John McCain was asked about it on Friday and said he would "probably change" the mascot.
McCain appeared on the Dan Patrick Show Friday morning and was asked whether he would change the name. McCain said if he were Redskins owner Dan Snyder he'd want to start a dialogue with Native American leaders and find out how they feel.
"If they think it's that offensive and terrible, I would certainly -- probably -- I'm not the owner and he has the rights of an owner. But frankly I would probably change the name," McCain said. "Myself I'm not offended. You're not offended. But there are Native Americans who are."
McCain and Patrick got on the topic after McCain was asked about Donald Sterling and the Clippers. And though there are some connections, McCain doesn't see them as similar situations.
"I'm not sure I connect the two. But I do believe if I were [Snyder] I would sit down with Native American leaders," McCain said. "I've been involved in Indian Affairs in a long, long time. We have a large Native American population in our state. I'd call the Native American leaders together and I'd sit down with them and say 'What is it you want?' If I were him I'd have a dialogue."
The problem for Snyder is if he has a sitdown with Native American leaders and asks what they want to happen, they're probably going to ask him to change it.
Snyder doesn't want to do that, which means it's not likely that McCain's plan will actually happen.

Daniel Peters, an American living in Copenhagen, becomes the main suspect in a murder investigation. To clear his name and to get back to the orderly life he so dearly prizes, Daniel must cooperate with homicide detective Ingrid Bendtner. But it's not easy for Daniel. As a forty-three year old with Asperger's Syndrome, even the slightest deviation from his regular schedule unnerves him. But what choice does he have? If he doesn't cooperate with the Police, he may be sent to jail or deported back to Buffalo, NY—frightening possibilities to a person who's grown used to his solitary life of single-minded work. Set in the capital of Denmark and featuring a cast of characters that includes Lutheran priests, Søren Kierkegaard scholars, law enforcement agents, a forgery expert, and the Director of the Royal Library, The Stages is a sometimes funny, sometimes melancholy, often absurd, but always clever re-interpretation of the Scandinavian crime novel.

In a turn of events, Avigen's latest statement on Biotechnology Value Fund's (BVF) $20.5 million buyout is neutral after vehemently rejecting it since January. The company, which previously stated that it had received more valuable offers, is also now saying that if the BVF acquisition doesn't go through, the company will be liquidated.
"Based on the actions taken by BVF, Avigen's board believes its ability to pursue the strategic alternatives that the board believes will increase stockholder value are all but foreclosed," explains Zola Horovitz, Ph.D., Avigen's chairman of the board. "As such, the board determined that the company no longer needs to retain the services of the majority of its employees that were supporting strategic discussions and has reduced its headcount accordingly."
A stockholder meeting to be held on March 27 will discuss BVF's request to transplant Avigen's board with its nominees, which is a condition of BVF's takeover proposal. If BVF is not successful, however, Avigen will plan for liquidation since it has discontinued merger talks.
Avigen's so-called neutral stance states that while it believes BVF's $1.20 per share price is approximately the company's current net cash value less wind-down costs, it does not reflect the value of company's early-stage pain and addiction program, AV411, or rights to future payments from Genzyme.
With liquidation, the board believes it can deliver more than $1.20 per share from net cash assets less wind-down costs, rights to approximately $6 million ($0.20 per share) in near-term Genzyme payments, and the sale of AV411.
Avigen previously pointed out that BVF was not familiar enough with the company's assets to negotiate a viable deal. BVF had reported that it supported a MediciNova offer for the company, which the Avigen board continues to stand against.
Avigen also said that BVF's activist investor strategies were motivated by its need for liquidity and not to by its interest in raising the value of the company.

I live in southern Japan so not Tokyo but I can tell you a few things. First, all soy sauce has wheat in it and most sauces tend to have soy sauce in it so if you are trying to be gluten or wheat free it will be tough. Still...if a bit of wheat in the soy sauce isn't a big problem for you then of course any sushi place (if you eat rice) or sashimi place will be fine. The other thing I LOVE is yakiniku....you grill fresh beef, chicken, pork, innards (if you like them), vegetables etc at your table yourself. Again, the sauce will have wheat in it but it is probably one of your best bets. If you need to , you can bring your own wheat free soy sauce (with you on the plane unopened and in your checked bags-due to the rules about how much liquids you can bring on the plane.I don't know any place you can buy wheat free soy sauce in a store in Japan) to sushi places and even yakiniku restaurants as I have done in the past (when I would get asthma after eating anything with wheat)-just ask the waiter to not add any sauce to the raw meat-some places do and some don't. Also, at lunch, the meals tend to be reasonably priced but dinner is more expensive esp at yakiniku restaurants. Oh yeah...yakitori (grilled meat on skewers) is also great but again...sauce.
I hate to say it but Japan is not a great place for primal esp if you can't cook yourself or really need to avoid wheat/gluten. Of course, in Tokyo they may have something we don't down here and international restaurants might have more choices.
Hopefully someone from Tokyo will chime in here!

Deer Park 4-0 2-0
Pearland 4-0 2-0
Dobie 2-2 1-1
Pasadena Memorial 2-2 1-1
South Houston 1-2 1-1
La Porte 1-3 1-1
Sam Rayburn 1-3 0-2
Pasadena 1-3 0-2
Thursday's Game
South Houston vs Pasadena
The South Houston Trojans are coming off an impressive upset win over Dobie 20-7 (also see "SoHo Shocker"). The defense was stellar in the win over Dobie with LB Joshua Batiste leading the charge. If the offense can come along some more and put some points up, this team will get a few more wins under their belt.
The Pasadena Eagles look to rebound after a 49-17 loss to Pasadena Memorial last week. The Eagles were able to move the ball somewhat effectively, but were just not able to capitalize when given the scoring opportunities.
Prediction : Trojans by 3
Friday's Games
Deer Park vs Dobie
The Deer Park Deer are coming off an impressive 31-21 win over rival La Porte last week. (also see "Deer Park Outguns La Porte"). The Deer were without running back Travis Carter last wee as he was out with an ankle injury, but Jarrod Blocker stepped in and had 100 yards rushing and 2 TD's. QB Hans Cook continued his steady play with 151 yards passing and 2 TD's.
The Dobie Longhorns are coming off a tough loss to South Houston last week that saw them out gain the Trojans on total offense, yet were outscored 20-7. The Longhorns will be looking to minimize the turnovers this week after having 3 costly ones last week.
Prediction : Deer by 17
Pasadena Memorial vs Rayburn
The Pasadena Memorial Mavericks are coming off a 49-17 win over Pasadena last week.(also see "Mavericks handle Eagles with ease.").
The Maverics hope to get quarterback Tate Gresham back from injury this week. If they do not running back Bo Snelson will step back into the role again.
The Sam Rayburn Texans are coming off a staggering 59-0 defeat at the hands of Pearland. The Texans have nowhere to go but up after last weeks performance. Quarteback Ed Bell had little time to direct the offense and looks to rebound from last weeks showing.
Prediction : Mavericks by 17
Pearland vs La Porte
The Pearland Oilers are coming off back to back impressive 59-0 shutouts of Pasadena and Rayburn respectively. The Oilers are averaging an astonishing 48.5 points a game thus far and only giving up an average of 8.5 points a game. The Oiler offense is definitely rolling now averaging 447 yards of total offense this year.
Prediction : Oilers by 35

The Elwha River Restoration Project; The Associated REU Program; and Preliminary Data on the Use of Microbial Community Structure and Nutrients As Indicators of Habitat Change Within the Elwha River.
Dr. Bill Eaton
Senior Vice President of Academics
Director of the Center of Excellence
Peninsula College
Port Angeles, Washington
Tuesday, February 5th, at 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.
Ruhl Student Center, Community Room
Construction of two dams (lacking fish passage facilities) in the early 1900's on the 72 km long Elwha River in Washington State—historically one of the most productive salmon rivers in the Puget Sound—has altered physical, biological and chemical characteristics throughout the watershed. The dams break the watershed into discrete segments above, between and below the two dams. As a result of the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act (PL102-495), removal of both dams on the Elwha River will begin by 2012, resulting in the release of about 8 million metric yards of sediment that is behind both dams. As the largest dam removal ever conducted and the number two national restoration priority for the National Park Service (behind restoration of the Everglades) this project presents a unique opportunity for the study of ecosystem processes and ecosystem restoration. In April 2005, an NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates program began at Peninsula College—15 miles from the Elwha River, the primary goal of which was to develop baseline data to be used as part of the plan for assessing the impact of the dams and the effectiveness of the restoration project post-dam removal. This presentation will provide information about the Elwha Restoration Project, the Peninsula College REU program, and the results of the first attempt at assessing the feasibility of using genetic and functional microbial diversity, microbial community structure, and nutrient chemistry measurements as indicators of habitat change or variation within the three main reaches of the Elwha River and the Quinault River.
Dr. Bill Eaton received a BA in Wildlife Zoology and MA in Biology from San Jose State University and a Ph.D. in Microbiology in 1988. He has been a faculty member at University of Alaska, Malaspina University College and California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). He served as the Chief Academic Officer at Penn State York, and the Associate vice-President of Academic Planning at CSUMB. He is currently the Senior Academic Vice President and the Executive Director of the Center of Excellence at Peninsula College, in Port Angeles, WA. His research activities have included work on infectious diseases of aquatic animals in California, Alaska, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada, and microbial ecology work in Pennsylvania, Belize, Washington State, and Costa Rica. Dr. Eaton helped develop the undergraduate research programs at Malaspina University College and Peninsula College. His work in the tropics includes development of Tropical Ecology courses and research projects in Belize from 1995-2001 and in Costa Rica since 2004. He is leading a new consortium in Costa Rica to examine the impacts of forest change in the Northern Zone of the country in partnership with the Centro Científico Tropical, Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBIO), EARTH University, and Estación Biológica La Selva (La Selva Biological Research Station). He is PI of the NSF REU grant at Peninsula College, and co-PI on a NASA Remote Sensing Grant and a NSF Elwha Research consortium grant. For the latter, Peninsula College is a consortium member along with Olympic National Park, NOAA, USGS, WA Dept of Fish and Wildlife, Lower Elwha Tribe, Western Washington University, and the University of Washington. He studies microbial communities in both WA and Costa Rica as potential indicators of habitat variation and change. He will be working at the Estación Biológica La Selva in Costa Rica this summer using microbial community variation as potential indicators of the impact of various land management practices.

"Faithles to None" Ring
At a Glance:
- Reproduction ring
- Engraved with "Faithles to None Yet Faithful to One"
- Sterling silver
- Cast by the lost-wax method
- Hand-finished
- Antiqued to highlight the inscription
- Sizes 5-11
- Polish with a soft non-abrasive dry cloth
- Made in the USA
Declare your loyalty to someone special with this sterling silver ring. The ring is a faithful recreation of the original, now in the collections of the British Museum. The original of this ring, with a delicate floral pattern engraved on the outside, was enameled in green and white. The poesy "Faithles to None Yet Faithful to One" is engraved on the inside in Old English spelling.
Poesy or love rings are gold bands engraved with a brief poem or sentiment. Inscribed rings are found as early as classical times when the inscriptions were usually dedicatory. Poesy rings reached their greatest popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries in England and France when they were used as a lover's token, a wedding ring, or simply as a means of showing regard or giving a gift. Their popularity in Elizabethan England is attested to by their frequent mention in Shakespeare's plays.

13 Celebrities Who Dressed Up as Other Celebrities For HalloweenSarah Bernard
Need a little costume inspiration for Halloween? Forget the vampires and witches and zombies. Even stars know that a dead-on pop culture reference will get you the most candy. No doubt there will be plenty of Kimyes out there and more than a few tongue-wagging Miley Cyruses. But for those of you who can't handle the idea of slipping into a nude leather bikini (I'm including myself in that category) there are plenty of other star-studded options. Check out this gallery to see which celebs have poked fun at their kind. For the holiday, of course.
Ellen DeGeneres as Sofia Vergara 1 of 12
I mean. Only Ellen could get away with this. For Halloween last year, the TV star poked fun at her pal Sofia Vergara by wearing an "enhanced" version of the Zuhair Murad dress Sofia so memorably wore to the 2012 Emmys. That's the dress that ripped up the back! And guess what, Ellen had a rip up the back of her dress, too! After she started a monologue imitating Sofia's accent, the Modern Family star came out to bust her.

Chord Overstreet as Brad Pitt 2 of 12
I think we can all agree that Brad Pitt is hotness personified. But I think we can also agree that he deserved some ribbing for his Chanel No. 5 commercial. Glee's Chord Overstreet not only dressed as Brad for Halloween he made a video parody as well.

P.Diddy as Prince 3 of 12
Not many folks can pull off a Prince costume, but P.Diddy — here at the 2012 Playboy Mansion Circoc Halloween party — makes it work.

Emma Roberts as Julia Roberts 4 of 12
Emma Roberts is the spitting image of her Aunt Julia as her Pretty Woman character complete with blonde bob, black boots, and sexy midriff. She achieved this look in her pal Rachel Roy's designs.

Eric Johnson as Larry Bird 5 of 12
Remember when Jessica unveiled the pic of herself dressed as a mummy to officially announce that she was expecting the first time? Well, this is a shot from that same memorable photo session. Maxwell and Ace's dad may have played football, but he makes a pretty awesome Larry Bird, short-shorts and all.

Fergie as Lindsay Lohan 6 of 12
Oh, the drama. When Fergie joined Instagram she posted this LiLo-inspired look with the caption, "What ever am I going 2 b 4 #Halloween this year? #costume."

Lena Dunham as Louis C.K. 7 of 12
Mindy Kaling posted this shot of Lena as Louis C.K. Months later Lena tweeted the comedian, "I dressed as you for Halloween because you are, among many things, my hero."

Kris Jenner as Psy, Kelly Osbourne as Katy Perry 8 of 12
Last year the talk show host got her Gangnam Style groove on as Psy, while pal Kelly Osbourne broke out the fake eyelashes to play Katy Perry for the night.

Matthew Morrison as Justin Timberlake 9 of 12
The Glee star dressed up as *NSYNC era Justin Timberlake for his annual Halloween bash-slash-33rd birthday party. Here he's posing with musician Brad Ellis, but that night he got a few shots with JC Chasez!

Miley Cyrus as Nicki Minaj 10 of 12
That's Miley-as-Nicki on the right. It's funny, at the time this leopard catsuit probably seemed risqué. But compared to the looks the Wrecking Ball singer has chosen lately, it's looking downright modest.

Amber Rose as Slash 11 of 12
The model and mom to baby Sebastian is a dead ringer for the iconic Guns N' Roses guitarist. That hair! In fact, Amber has made no secret of the love she feels for the guy. She once tweeted, "I remember when I met Slash I cried so hard Lol He probably thought I was crazy it was a dream come true tho :-)"

Nicole Richie as J.Lo 12 of 12
To Kate Hudson's Hollywood party in 2011 Nicole wore this J.Lo-inspired velour sweatsuit, aviators, giant hoop earrings and a serious spray tan. She captioned this photo, "Don't be fooled by the rocks dat we got! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Love JLO & Hunter S. Thomson."

I just want to say one thing, and I mean it in the nicest possible way:
SciGuy has a huge head.
Now, if you read the print edition of the Chronicle, you know what I mean. (If you didn't read it, go cadge it off your chatty cubicle-mate or slightly creepy neighbor.)
Huge. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade huge. Wayans Brother huge. Peyton Manning huge.
Now, MeMo is not stating that Eric Berger, the fine writer who plays SciGuy like Tobey Maguire plays Spider-Man, has a huge head. My experience of Berger is just like my experience of lots of famous people (within the past week, my close encounters range from the Alligator Man dude from Jackass to Humpy Wheeler the NASCAR baron and, even more impressive, the voice of Tex in the movie Cars).
Famous people are a lot like the rest of us, except lots smarter and better at what they do. Eric Berger certainly fits in to this conformation, in that he seems to walk down the hall at work one pace at a time. How he put on his pants, despite what Harry Truman said, I have not bent my mind to think on. Come to think of it, though, I've never seen Eric (or SciGuy) eat. He may sip nectar with an enormous, curled prehensile tongue, or bite the necks of baby goats at midnight. I don't know. His head looks fine, though. Not discontinuous with his neck or balloonlike, such as the kind found on local TV anchorwomen.
Which is probably good, because the Chronicle would have to hire somebody just to keep hoisting it off his keyboard.
But SciGuy? That's one megahead. That's — supercranial!
Anyway, MeMo is on vaca this week. The real kind, involving an island, and not just any island — an island off an island. Which means it could be anyplace from Fire Island to the Seychelles to the Galveston Archipelago. Who knows?
Here is one actual take-to-the-bank tip: I am reading Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick, and it's wonderful. Real history, with shock and awe.

The trade deadline is a strange time.
In the last two years, the Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings made trades prior to the deadline that were vital to their respective Stanley Cup runs.
The Bruins added Rich Peverley from the Atlanta Thrashers (now doing business as the Winnipeg Jets) and Chris Kelly from the Ottawa Senators, and both role players made key contributions during the postseason.
The Kings were struggling to make the playoffs last year when they traded solid defenseman Jack Johnson to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Jeff Carter. That acquisition seemed to unblock the Kings' offense as they not only made the playoffs, but they dominated in the postseason. Carter's goal scoring ability remains a vital factor for the Kings.
Sometimes teams need to make trades prior to the trade deadline just for the psyche of the team. Here's a look at 10 of those teams that would get a boost by making a trade prior to April 3.

MADISON, Wis. - A column I wrote after the Sandusky scandal broke entitled, "PSU should stay home for the holidays," brought more than its share of negative reaction.
And while I do think there is merit to ending the season as soon as possible and thus getting Penn State off the field and out of the public eye, suggesting that the current players be denied a chance to play in a bowl game - any bowl game - after what they've been through is wrong.
My original premise outlined the possibility of three straight losses to end the regular season and wondered if by then the players wouldn't have suffered enough.
So allow me to backtrack on that - especially now that the Nittany Lions defeated Ohio State and head into today's matchup with Wisconsin with a chance to play for the Big Ten championship.
Various media reports have indicated Penn State - even at 9-3 - won't have their usual sway over the bowl committees because of the national publicity that has accompanied the Sandusky allegations and the subsequent firing of Joe Paterno and Graham Spanier.
You'd think even if the Lions lose today and are bypassed by the Outback and Gators Bowls, that they'd land in a TicketCity Bowl, Jan. 2 in Dallas or someplace comparable.
Fact Box
PSU (9-2, 6-1) at Wisconsin (9-2, 5-2)
Where: Camp Randall Stadium
Kickoff: 3:30 p.m.
Line: Wisconsin by 15
Updated injury/status report: RB Silas Redd (collarbone) is probable but was not expected to be involved in contact drills during practice this week.
But the politically-correct climate in which we live makes it possible that if the Lions lose today (and they're 15-point underdogs), this could be the last you see of them until the Blue-White Game.
I'm not saying that will or should happen, but you'd have to be naive to think that it couldn't.
Either way, bowl or no bowl, the December window is often looked upon to more closely evaluate the younger players, and given the tumultuous time we've endured, no one has even peeked at next year.
So let's do that now.
The next coach's first challenge will be to distance the past from the future and convince any disgruntled players capable of helping the team to remain on board.
A look at the roster shows there is plenty of talent scheduled to be back.
Matt McGloin will return as an experienced quarterback poised for a chance to complete his third year as a starter. Silas Redd could be one of the best returning backs in the country.
Derek Moye leaves, but Justin Brown's back along with Devon Smith and Shawney Kersey, and new horses like Curtis Drake and Bill Belton that were just let out of the stable.
Michael Zordich has another year, and the tight end position, with Kevin Haplea and Garry Gilliam, should be fine.
Most of the offensive line graduates, but center Matt Stankiewitch, guard John Urschel and tackle Mike Farrell have experience. Maybe we'll finally see what Eric Shrive can do.
Defensively, Devon Still will be gone, but Jordan Hill and Sean Stanley are cornerstones, and the linebacking corps, with Michael Mauti joining Gerald Hodges, Khairi Fortt and Glenn Carson, should be outstanding.
The secondary will need totally rebuilt, but Adrian Amos, Malcolm Willis and Stephon Morris have shown potential.
Placekicker-punter-kickoff weapon Anthony Fera, who has been very solid, returns.
There's a strong enough nucleus to be optimistic about the future, once the future is defined, and one that could benefit from extra practice sessions the bowl window offers.
This may be jumping the gun and underestimating the Lions' chance to beat the Badgers today. They've played with character all year, particularly in the clutch.
But whether they're playing in Indianapolis next Saturday night or not,
2012 will be interesting in many ways.

The Best Nursing Brastoddler-times
The first time around, nursing bras are something that you just don't think about until you've had the baby and then who has the time in those first few weeks to run out shopping or even get on line to shop? Honestly, it may be difficult to do ahead of time anyway because you really have no idea just what size those things will become! But you can at least start thinking about brands and where to buy them. When I was pregnant with my first I bought some nursing bras toward the end of my pregnancy because none of my other bras were fitting and also I wanted bras with no underwire. But I didn't ask around and just bought the first (horrific looking) things I found at my nearest maternity store. Neither of them worked out. One was terribly uncomfortable and the other… well let's just say it wasn't very attractive (quote from husband: "where did you buy that? the old lady store?") Enough said. Let's explore some options…
First of all, my tried and true, everyday favorite: the nursing bra tanks from Glamourmom.
I lived in these after my first pregnancy and am doing so again the second time around. The great thing about them is that you can lift up your shirt in public and not expose your mid-section, which of course we're all pretty self conscious about post-partum. Definitely a huge plus. AND the best news is that they have come out with a couple of new styles– the nursing bra tank with tummy control and also a nursing bra tank full bust version. I'm a D cup when not nursing/pregnant and found the bra tanks supportive so will be looking forward to trying this out. Keep in mind that the downside to the nursing tank is that you won't really want to wear this extra layer in hot weather.
Another option is the extremely pretty Elle Macpherson Intimates La Mere Maternity Bra (see top photo).You will definitely feel anything but frumpy in this one. However, this is not the right choice if you are anything over a C cup. It's just not supportive enough, unfortunately. I bought mine a few months into nursing thinking I'd found the sexy alternative to the usual nursing bra and after wearing it in real life was disappointed to find that it wasn't the right style for me.
But the good news is that this time around I found that the Elle Macpherson line had come out with another style that may not be quite as sexy as the La Mere but still cute and works very well for D + cup sizes.
It's called the Maternelle Nursing Bra. It is supportive, attractive, and very comfortable. I have it in both the pink and the black and am extremely happy with them.
How about you? If you've already been down this road, would love to hear which nursing bras worked for you!

365 Taoby Deng Ming-Dao
Place the word Tao Into your heart. Use no other words. The Tao is constantly moving, the path that all life and the whole universe takes. There is nothing that is not part of it-harmonious living is to know and to move with the Tao-it is a way of life, the natural order of things, a force that flows through all life. 365 Tao is a contemporary book of meditations on what it means to be wholly a part of the Taoist way, and thus to be completely in harmony with oneself and the surrounding world. Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including The Living I Ching, Chronicles of Tao, Everyday Tao, and Scholar Warrior. His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and with two other masters before that.
Everyday Taoby Deng Ming-Dao
The Taoist spirit comes to life, made vibrant and contemporary through the Chinese ideograms whose images and stories speak of living in harmony with the Tao. Everyday Tao revives an ancient approach to meditation and reflection by using these stories as sources of insight for spiritual growth. Tao is a person running along a path A companion volume to the bestselling 365 Tao, Everyday Tao offers clear, specific directions on bringing the Taoist spirit into our work, our relationships, and other aspects of our everyday lives. Each ideogram provides the starting point for a Taoist lesson. The narrative that follows shows how we can achieve an intimate relationship with nature, others, and our natural selves.
The Living I Chingby Deng Ming-Dao
From the author of 365 Tao and a leading authority on Taoist practice and philosophy comes a completely innovative translation of the classic text of Eastern wisdom, the I Ching. The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient manual for divining the future. Its basic text is traditionally attributed to the Chinese King Wen, the Duke of Zhou, and the philosopher Confucius. By tossing coins, rolling dice, using a computer, or, more traditionally, counting yarrow stalks, one can create a seemingly random combination of heads or tails, odd or even, yin or yang, to construct six lines (for example, solid for odd numbers or broken for even numbers). These six lines make up a hexagram that provides advice, predictions, and answers to questions on topics from love and career to family and finance. While known mostly as a tool of divination, the I Ching is also a repository of centuries of wisdom. Most of the existing translations offer either dense, scholarly commentary or little more than fortune-cookie platitudes, but in The Living I Ching Deng Ming-Dao takes a more holistic approach. His new translation recovers the true wisdom and philosophy of this ancient classic, so that the I Ching becomes more than just a book of fortune-telling -- it becomes a manual for living.
The Lunar Taoby Deng Ming-Dao
We all live our lives by the Sun and the Moon The lunar calendar is a main pillar of Chinese tradition and culture, encompassing many festivals and stories. Though most explorations of Taoism take place within the realm of scripture, exercises, and formal lectures, Deng Ming-Dao looks to the lunar calendar and highlights where these festivals and stories coincide with Taoism, giving readers a renewed and original way into this ancient philosophy. Each day of the lunar year is represented with a reading meditation, original translations, illustrations, and illuminating facts about festivals and traditions, providing readers with the context that gives Taoism such depth and resonance. Unlike any other book, and beautifully illustrated with more than 400 photo-graphs and drawings, The Lunar Tao offers a new way to explore Taoism and shows readers how to include the tenets of Taoism in daily life.
Scholar Warriorby Deng Ming-Dao
The way of the Scholar Warrior Is to unite wisdom with action. The hero makes the era. The era make the hero. In this beautifully illustrated offering of ancient wisdom, Deng Ming-Dao shares the secrets of the spiritual path handed down to him by Kwan Saihung, his Taoist master, as well as by herbalist, martial artists, and other practitioners of the ancient arts. Deng shows how Taoist philosophy and practice may be integrated into contemporary Western lifestyles for complete physical, mental, and spiritual health. He provides an abundance of philosophical and practical information about hygiene, diet, sexuality, physical exercise, mediation, medicine, finding one's purpose in life, finding the right teacher, death, and transcendence.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- At the weekly cabinet meeting Sunday morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke briefly of the late Ariel (Arik) Sharon.
We take leave from Ariel Sharon, the 11th prime minister of the State of Israel. Arik was, first and foremost, a warrior and a commander, among the Jewish people's greatest generals in the current era and throughout its history. He was dedicated to the security of the state from his youth, as a young fighter in the War of Independence and afterwards as a commander in the 1956 Sinai operation, in the Six Day War and in the decisive battle during the Yom Kippur War in leading the IDF across the Suez Canal, which, for all intents and purposes, led to a successful conclusion of a war that began under very difficult conditions for the State of Israel.
He established Unit #101 and set two primary foundations for Israel's struggle against terrorism, initiative and retaliation, which stand to this day. He also continued this action as defense minister in distancing terrorism from our northern border.
In all of his positions -- defense minister, housing minister, infrastructures minister and foreign minister, Arik contributed to the State of Israel, as he also did as prime minister. I think he represents the generation of Jewish warriors who arose for our people upon the resumption of our independence.
He was tied to the land; he knew that it had to be defended. He understood that above everything, our revival is our ability to defend ourselves by ourselves.
I believe that he will be remembered in the heart of the Jewish people's forever as one of our most outstanding leaders and most daring commanders.
Sharon died Saturday, eight years after suffering a massive brain hemorrhage that left him comatose. The state funeral began Monday morning at the Knesset, Israel's parliament, where Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein were joined by world leaders that included U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and E.U. Middle East envoy Tony Blair.
Following the ceremony, Sharon's casket was transported via military convoy to the former prime minister's Sycamore Ranch in the south. Sharon was buried alongside his wife, Lily, who died in 2000. His sons, Gilad and Omri, both spoke at the gravesite, as did IDF Chief of General Staff Benny Gantz, who called Sharon "an unparalleled and heroic commander."

Environmental Justice:
Measurable Benchmarks Needed to Gauge EPA Progress in Correcting Past Problems

A 1994 Executive Order sought to ensure that minority and low-income populations are not subjected to disproportionately high levels of environmental risk. Studies have shown that these groups are indeed disproportionately exposed to air pollution and other environmental and health problems. The Order sought to address the problem by requiring EPA and other federal agencies to make achieving environmental justice part of their missions. In July 2005, GAO issued a report entitled, Environmental Justice: EPA Should Devote More Attention to Environmental Justice When Developing Clean Air Rules (GAO-05-289). Focusing on three specific rules for detailed study, the report identified a number of weaknesses in EPA's approach to ensuring that environmental justice is considered from the early stages of rule development through their issuance. The report made several recommendations, to which EPA replied in an August 24, 2006 letter. GAO also met recently with cognizant EPA staff to obtain updated information on the agency's responses to these recommendations. In this testimony, GAO (1) summarizes the key findings of its 2005 report, (2) outlines its recommendations to EPA and EPA's August 2006 responses, and (3) provides updated information on subsequent EPA actions.
EPA generally devoted little attention to environmental justice when drafting three significant clean air rules between fiscal years 2000 and 2004. GAO's 2005 report concluded, for example, that while EPA guidance on rulemaking states that workgroups should consider environmental justice early in the process, a lack of guidance and training for workgroup members on how to identify potential environmental justice impacts limited their ability to analyze such issues. Similarly, while EPA considered environmental justice to varying degrees in the final stages of the rulemaking process, in general the agency rarely provided a clear rationale for its decisions on environmental justice-related matters. For example, in responding to comments during the final phase of one of the rules, EPA asserted that the rule would not have any disproportionate impacts on low-income or minority communities, but did not publish any data or the agency's assumptions in support of that conclusion. Among its recommendations, GAO called on EPA to ensure that its rulemaking workgroups devote attention to environmental justice while drafting and finalizing clean air rules. EPA's August 2006 letter responded that it had made its Office of Environmental Justice an ex officio member of the Regulatory Steering Committee so that it would be aware of important regulations under development and participate in workgroups as necessary. GAO also recommended that EPA improve the way environmental justice impacts are addressed in its economic reviews by identifying the data and developing the modeling techniques needed to assess such impacts. EPA responded that its Office of Air and Radiation was examining ways to improve its air models so it could better account for the socioeconomic variables identified in the Executive Order. GAO also recommended that cognizant EPA officials respond more fully to public comments on environmental justice by better explaining their rationale and by providing the supporting data for the agency's decisions. EPA responded that it would re-emphasize the need to respond fully to public comments, include the rationale for its regulatory approach, and describe its supporting data. Recent discussions between GAO and EPA officials suggest that some progress has been made to incorporate environmental justice concerns in the agency's air rulemaking, but that significant challenges remain. For example, while the Office of Environmental Justice may be an ex officio member of the Regulatory Steering Committee, it has not participated directly in any air rules that have been proposed or finalized since EPA's August 2006 letter to GAO. Also, according to EPA staff, some of the training courses that were planned have not yet been developed due to staff turnover among other reasons. When asked about GAO's recommendation that cognizant officials respond more fully to public comments on environmental justice, the EPA officials cited a recent rulemaking in which this was done. But the officials said they were unaware of any memoranda or revised guidance that would encourage more global progress on this key issue.
