Range-bound play targets Micron
Chris McKhann | [email protected]
A trader sold 14,000 January 2015 20 calls for the bid price of $1.35, according to optionMONSTER systems. This is a new position, as its volume was more than the strike's previous open interest.
Less than a minute later the largest block of MU stock traded as 490,000 shares were bought for $14 even. Combined with the calls, this creates a delta-neutral play that is looking for lower volatility. That means the trader is counting on shares staying in a range and/or less actual volatility than that implied by the call premium. (See our Education section)
MU is down 0.48 percent to $13.94 this afternoon. The memory-chip maker hit $15.07 last week, its highest price since 2006. Shares were below $6 at the October low.

Rob Mahoney of SI.com: "Interestingly enough, the Thunder have opened themselves up for just such a strategic turn in accepting Martin's contributions in exchange for Harden's — not to mention the addition of the utterly stagnant Derek Fisher to replace more useful offensive players. Westbrook and Durant make for one of the most potent shot creating duos in the league, but should an opponent manage to lock down Durant with any measure of success, it could throw Oklahoma City's offense off-balance enough to make every game of a potential series winnable. As prolific as the Thunder are, the absence of a third playmaker — and their dependence on individual dribble-driving rather than team-wide ball movement — makes them susceptible to pressure-heavy schemes. If an opponent keys in on Durant and/or Westbrook in the same way that the Thunder once focused on Parker, OKC becomes an imminently beatable opponent."
Henry Abbott of TrueHoop on minutes: "Sitting them can cost you a lead, or a game. But evidently it also comes with the serious upside of increasing your likelihood of winning a title, which is why it's no surprise to see top players resting this time of year. (The bigger surprise is that NBA rules force teams to gin up tales of injuries to justify good medium-term planning.) In Vegas, the top three contending teams at the moment, in order, are the Heat, Thunder and Spurs. The Heat have played their top players a lot, but not a crazy amount. The Thunder, thanks largely to Durant's crazy minutes, might be the league's most flagrant violators. The Spurs, meanwhile … forget three thousand minutes. They barely have any players over two thousand. That doesn't mean they'll make it past the Thunder or Heat, but if minutes matter, it does mean the coaches have done what they can to maximize success."
Mitch McGary nicknamed himself "White Thunder" in high school. Sounds like a match made in heaven.
Bradford Doolittle of ESPN Insider on depth: "Scott Brooks tightened his rotation to eight players for the most part in leading the Thunder to last season's Finals. There is nothing about this year's roster that would make you expect Brooks to behave any differently, even though James Harden won't be around."
Stein's power rankings have OKC up to second: "The Spurs and Nuggets are in injury hell. The Griz have their own health concerns with Marc Gasol playing hurt … and the Clips are still trying to dig out of a plain old funk. So why isn't OKC giddy as nicely as things are lining up? Are they sufficiently clicking to capitalize on the chaos all around them?"
Andrew McNeill of 48 Minutes of Hell takes OKC to win the top seed in a 5-on-5: "With injuries to Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili already on his plate, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich will do anything he can to keep the rest of his team healthy heading into the playoffs. That'll mean plenty of rest for his key guys and the Spurs will drop some games because of it."
Per John Rohde, KD is just 1-11 against Melo: "Durant's lone head-to-head victory against Anthony came in a 151-147 double-overtime contest at KeyArena on April 6, 2008, which means Durant has yet to defeat Anthony while with the Thunder. Anthony did not play in OKC's 95-94 victory at New York on March 7 this season. Against Durant, Anthony has averaged 30.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 50.4 percent from the field, 40.0 percent from 3-point range and 84.8 percent from the free-throw line. Meanwhile, Durant has averaged 26.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 42.2 percent from the floor, 38.3 percent from 3-point range and 89.1 percent from the free-throw line."

By the Green Queen
This week on "What's In A Name?", we'll take a look at the names of some of Diamond Nexus' men's jewelry.
First up: Sinclair.
|Sinclair Men's Ring
This band was a huge hit with the guys in the office right from the start. It's dashing and manly, but with a touch of the romantic. It made me think of Errol Flynn. But "Errol" is a bit of an awkward name on its own, and "Flynn" seemed more rugged than sophisticated. So I thought of the character Neville Sinclair from the movie The Rocketeer, who was a fictional re-imagining of the real Errol Flynn. (Stunningly acted by Timothy Dalton, by the way. You can't blame Jennifer Connelly for falling for the bad guy when he's played by Timothy Dalton.)
A somewhat similar piece is the Reese men's ring, also with three stones in a segmented design.
|Reese Men's Ring
This ring looked very mechanical or industrial to me. So…what's more mechanical than a cyborg? And what's more industrial than a factory? So I put the two together and…that's right, I started thinking of the Terminator movies. Specifically, the heroic Kyle Reese from the first one. "Reese" seemed a bit more unusual of a name than "Kyle," and people in the movie usually called the character by his last name rather than his first name anyway, so I decided to go with "Reese."
|Konrad Men's Ring
Last but not least for this week…Konrad
The high-polish groove down the center of this band reminded me of a shining, meandering river. I thought of stories that involved a long voyage on a river and came up with Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. I considered naming the ring after one of the characters from the novel, like Kurtz, but that name seemed a bit…well, curt.
curt (kûrt) adj. curt·er, curt·est
1. Rudely brief or abrupt, as in speech or manner. See Synonyms at gruff.
2. Using few words; terse.
3. Having been shortened.
Besides, I never really liked the character of Kurtz very much. So I decided that "Conrad" would do. But as a subtle nod to the character as well as the original Polish spelling of the author's name, I changed the first letter to a "K."

Who Should win the Rookie of the Year Awards? Who Will?
Getty Images
With the regular season ending on Sunday and most of the playoff spots locked up, there's really only one big thing left to argue about: postseason awards. So let's spend some time looking at who should win each of the four major awards and who will win them. Which are often totally different things. Next up: The Rookie of the Year Awards
This is a whole heck of a lot easier than the MVP and Cy Young Awards, that's for sure. It's a two horse race in the AL and a one-horse race in the NL.
Who should win the AL Rookie of the Year Award?
It seemed like Tigers starter Michael Fulmer would be the no-brainer choice for a good long while, as his low ERA and solid performance helped carry the Tigers when their starting pitching wasn't doing them any favors. But then the Yankees called up catcher Gary Sanchez at the beginning of August and all he's done since then is hit .303/.378/.672 with an astonishing 20 homers in his first 51 games. Fulmer has continued to be solid — he's just short of qualifying for the ERA title, but does have the league's lowest ERA at 3.06 — but Sanchez has been spectacular.
The MVP and Cy Young Award require full season contributions. Not everyone takes the Rookie of the Year Award quite as seriously, it seems, and are thus more willing to entertain smaller samples of excellence over large samples of solid work when it comes to the award. That's how Bill and I think about it anyway, giving the nod to Sanchez's historic two-month run. Ashley, however, favors Fulmer's larger volume of work. You can't really go wrong with either choice:
Craig: Sanchez
Bill: Sanchez
Ashley: Fulmer
Who will win the AL Rookie of the Year Award?
Hard call. I have no idea what voters will do on that quantity/quality calculation. I'll guess Fulmer, but it's just a guess. I could just as easily see Sanchez given some quasi-MVP credit for helping the Yankees remain relevant after the trade deadline and throw it his way.
Who should win the NL Rookie of the Year Award?
If you say anyone other than Corey Seager, and his .311/.369/.519 26 homer batting line, the state has authorized me to have you taken to a hospital for 48 hours of examination, at which point your competence to reenter society will be gauged. But there is ice cream there.
Craig: Seager
Bill: Seager
Ashley: Seager
Who will win the NL Rookie of the Year Award?
If any BBWAA voter lists anyone other than Corey Seager at the top of his or her Rookie of the Year ballot, the state has authorized me to have them taken to a hospital for 48 hours of examination, at which point their competence to reenter society will be gauged. They will not, however, be allowed to have any ice cream because, really, they should know better. They're professionals.
Jeremy Giambi vs. David Ortiz
The 2002 Red Sox won 93 games, only to finish 10 games behind the Yankees in the AL West and six back of the lone wild card. They named Theo Epstein the GM that November and allowed him to begin reshaping the team, then led by Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez.
The Red Sox didn't make any big splashes that winter. Their biggest free agent signing was Ramiro Mendoza, who got $6.5 million for two years. They also signed Mike Timlin and Bill Mueller (who played behind Shea Hillenbrand at third initially). They traded for Todd Walker. They stole Bronson Arroyo off waivers.
What Epstein did totally overhaul was a first base-DH situation that held the team back the previous season. 2002 trade deadline pickup Cliff Floyd exited in free agency, as did disappointments Tony Clark and Jose Offerman.
Brought in was a three-headed monster of underappreciated, high-OBP, Moneyball-type players. First, the Red Sox traded Josh Hancock to the Phillies for Jeremy Giambi, who had just hit .244/.435/.538 in 156 at-bats after coming over from the A's at midseason. He hit .272/.402/.475 in 684 at-bats total between 2001 and 2002, and he looked like he was still very much in his prime at age 28.
The day after the Giambi trade, the Twins made the move to release David Ortiz. No one pounced, though, and Ortiz remained unsigned for a month before joining the Boston on a one-year, $1.25 million contract. Ortiz, who was entering his age-27 season, hit .272/.339/.500 in 412 at-bats for the Twins in 2002.
While that was going on, the Red Sox were working to bring in Kevin Millar for first base. Millar hit .306/.366/.509 in 438 at-bats for the Marlins in 2002 and was even better the previous season, but he was a poor outfielder and third baseman and the team already had Derrek Lee at first base. So, the Marlins, rather than trade Millar for a player, sold him to Japan for some much-preferred cash. Millar, not realizing that he was a desired commodity around the league, went along with the plan. That's when the Red Sox broke an unwritten rule and claimed Millar off waivers. It turned into a long ordeal, but the Red Sox were finally able to land Millar in February by buying him from the Marlins.
I remember at the time being most excited about the Giambi acquisition. He couldn't play defense and he had gotten himself exiled by the A's for some transgression the previous year, but he looked like an awesome offensive force with his terrific power and ridiculous walk rate. Ortiz was certainly worth taking the chance on, too, but I thought Giambi would be better and leave Ortiz with little to do.
Indeed, Giambi started over Ortiz on Opening Day. However, both got off to lousy starts and Giambi's playing time quickly diminished. Giambi finished April at .125/.288/.292 in 60 plate appearances, starting only once in the final week of the month. Ortiz came in at .212/.311/.346 in 61 plate appearances.
Both players found their strokes at the beginning of May. For Giambi, though, it amounted to all of about two weeks of success. He peaked with an .828 OPS on May 16. Ortiz's build was slower, but it lasted. He had a .942 OPS in May, a .961 OPS in June, a .987 OPS in July and a 1.097 OPS in August before plummeting all of the way to .977 in September. He finished 5th in the AL MVP balloting despite playing about half the time the first two months.
Giambi, finding himself more starved for at-bats after Ortiz heated up, landed on the DL in late June with a bad shoulder. At the time, it looked like it might have been a made-up injury to get him playing time in the minors for a spell. It wasn't. He returned a few weeks later, but he still wasn't right. He made his last appearance on Aug. 1, going 0-for-3 against the Orioles. He landed back on the DL and then underwent surgery to repair damage in his labrum and rotator cuff.
As it turned out, Giambi never played in the majors again. As he was trying to come back from the shoulder surgery the next spring, he developed back problems. He played in 17 minor league games with the Dodgers in 2004 and nine with the White Sox in 2005. That was it for him, and he was done at 30 years old. In early 2005, he admitted to using BALCO-provided steroids and said that he regretted it. The strength training likely played roles in both his emergence and his downfall, given the breakdown of his body.
Things worked out a little differently for Ortiz…
Ortiz through 2002 (age 26): .266/.348/.461, 108 OPS+ in 1,693 PA
Giambi through 2002 (age 27): .269/.381/.437, 114 OPS+ in 1,549 PA
Ortiz after 2002: .290/.386/.570, 148 OPS+ in 8,387 PA
Giambi after 2002: .197/.342/.354, 81 OPS+ in 156 PA
And those 2003 Red Sox? Well, they won 95 games, which was good enough for the wild card this time. Still, they lost to the Yankees in seven games in the ALCS. They were still one year away.

"I am not going to apologise for even one moment that we carried out an operation in which only ten soldiers were killed," said a very senior IDF officer this week. "We fought against a vicious enemy that used civilians, ambulances, schools and mosques as shields, every step of the way. So I'm not prepared for any self-flagellation, just a degree of self-criticism." This attitude encapsulates the reasoning behind a series of reports released this week by the IDF on the fighting in the Gaza Strip during Operation Cast Lead.
It is a line of thinking that is totally acceptable to a large part of the Israeli public, civilians and military personnel. But the reports are unlikely to convince sceptics, certainly not those predisposed to believe the reports by NGOs and the international media, which accuse Israel of war crimes.
The five reports were compiled by experienced colonels who were not actively involved in the recent fighting.
They prove one thing. The IDF was acting on a comprehensive plan when it attacked Gaza, a plan that included clear instructions on the need to avoid unnecessary civilian casualties. Schools, hospitals and international aid agencies were clearly marked out on the soldiers' maps as no-fire areas. The local population was warned in advance, through leaflets, intrusions into Palestinian television broadcasts, phone-calls and even "roof-knocks", a small explosion that preceded a much larger one that would obliterate a targeted building a few minutes later. For the IDF at least, these procedures are proof of what its commanders claim is "the most moral army in the world".
But what is not clear is how, when and why the commanders, and their soldiers, decided to overstep the guidelines in combat situations where IDF personnel were in danger. As they admit they did.
The reports do not offer a full answer to this question as they refer only to a small number of cases, painstakingly investigated by the team of colonels. At the most, they explain the deaths of 10 per cent of the 300 civilians that the IDF estimate were killed in the operation.
For many of Israel's supporters, the fact that Hamas operated from behind civilian lines is explanation enough. And for them this latest report, with its admission of a handful of "operational mistakes", is more than sufficient. For Israel's relentless detractors, any document prepared by the IDF is a whitewash and its war crimes are an incontestable fact.
In the absence of an investigation by an objective party, trusted by all sides (and no, the United Nations does not fit the bill), this is the best we are going to get.

FORMER Black Consciousness Movement activist Barney Pityana, who worked with Mamphela Ramphele in the 1970s, said last week he would back the academic and community leader should she launch her own party.
Dr Ramphele is widely expected to launch a political party this month.
Dr Pityana said Ms Ramphele would become a new voice in a country that had politics and an economic development trajectory that needed big changes.
While no leader has come out to be associated with Dr Ramphele officially, her party is expected to woo leaders of good standing.
Jay Naidoo, who is chairman of the Geneva-based Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition and who since 2010 has dedicated himself to philanthropy, said he had no desire to re-enter the world of party politics. He would continue to focus his attention on various civil society initiatives, especially related to eradicating hunger.
"I'm more and more cynical that formal processes of democracy are sufficient to guarantee people's rights," Mr Naidoo said.
"What we need is an active citizenry and civil society is more important than ever." Last week, Dr Ramphele said she would speak for herself about any "future engagements".
"I would like to place it on record that I have been having conversations with South Africans from all walks of life about the state of democracy in South Africa, canvassing their views about ways in which South Africans can work together to tackle our pressing social, economic and political challenges." She said these conversations were in line with the national dialogue she was seeking to promote through her latest book, Conversations with My Sons and Daughters.

By Tonya K. Townsell, Presidio of Monterey Public AffairsApril 22, 2013
PRESIDIO OF MONTEREY, Calif. -- The U.S. Army celebrates Earth Day at approximately 200 installations, major commands and organizations in the United States and around the world, including the Presidio of Monterey.
The Army's 2013 Earth Day theme is "Acknowledge the Past, Engage the Present, Chart the Future."
The goal reflects a vision to educate visitors by sharing stories that demonstrate how the Army is acknowledging the past by remediating Army lands and protecting and preserving cultural and historical resources; engaging the present by meeting environmental standards, enabling Army operations, and protecting Soldiers, civilians and families; and charting the future by institutionalizing best practices and using technology to ensure future environmental resiliency.
The Army is vigilant in protecting over 200 endangered or threatened species that make their homes on military installations worldwide.
The Army is also focusing on managing America's natural resources with a goal of Net Zero installations.
The Army is creating a culture that recognizes the value of sustainability measured not just in terms of financial benefits, but benefits to maintaining mission capability, quality of life, relationships with local communities, and the preservation of options for the Army's future.
Events vary from Earth Day fairs with educational exhibits, to tree plantings, to other initiatives that actually sustain installation operations.
Earth Day fair
Locally, the main event is the Presidio of Monterey Earth Day Fair. The event is scheduled for 11 a.m.-1 p.m. April 24 in the Berlin Wall courtyard area, adjacent to mid-POM Java Cafe.
Come and expand your knowledge on conservation and protection of natural resources by visiting one of the many participating agency booths and demonstrations.
Bring your family to this event and enjoy a fun-filled day to learn about recycling and conservation, in addition to many fun and exciting activities.
There will be many outside agencies participating to provide a wide range of educational information and demonstrations.
According to event coordinator Tania Leisten, Presidio of Monterey Directorate of Public Works, there are nearly two dozen information vendors expected, more than twice the number of the 2012 event.
Additionally, she said that about six food vendors are scheduled, including a Korean barbeque vendor and Subway.
As for inclement weather, Leisten said that, fortunately, the weather forecast shows no rain.
Earth Day history
Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970.
The campaign for Earth Day began as a grassroots effort to teach about environmental stewardship, create an awareness of the environment's fragility, and ultimately, to thrust that awareness into the mainstream of American society. The campaign caught on quickly and evolved into what people now celebrate as Earth Day each April 22.
Army leaders understand the interdependence of military mission requirements, the natural environment and community well-being.
From this strategy, environmental stewardship becomes a mission enhancer. It leads to better training lands, improved recreational opportunities, healthier communities, and new partnerships.
Also, environmental sustainability is now part of every installation's and unit's operations, from munitions production to live-fire training, from housing areas to forward operating bases.
The Army's observance of Earth Day provides an opportunity to emphasize the interdependence of the military's mission with the natural environment and the well-being of communities.
On Earth Day, people should recognize that environmental sustainability is everyone's responsibility.
Consider the boot print you make, the impact you have on resources, whether you are on an installation, deployed or in your home. The military's goal is to conserve and preserve while we serve.

Plumbing leaks can come from a variety of sources. Hidden and visible leaks can easily waste thousands of gallons of water a year – not to mention the higher utility bills and the repair costs.
Toilet leaks are very common, but can be hard to diagnose. Leaks may occur from several sources. The most common tank toilet leak is the flapper or tank ball, which holds the water in the tank until the flush lever is activated.
The tank contains two valves: a flush valve and a refill valve. One type of refill valve is commonly called a ballcock. When the flush valve fails to seat properly, water is leaked from the tank into the bowl. The leaked tank water is replenished by the refill valve, causing a continuous flow of wasted water. A simple test for this leak is putting 8 to 10 drops of food coloring in the water tank. After 5 to 10 minutes, if you find food coloring in the water bowl, this indicates the possibility that the flapper/tank ball needs to be replaced. A good rule is to replace these parts every 2 years.
Some of the reasons for a leaky faucet:
Water fixtures that drip usually have worn-out parts and need to be repaired or replaced. Always remember to turn off the water and relieve the water pressure before attempting to disassemble the plumbing fixture.
Leaking faucets are manageable and can be repaired. Pressurized water is distributed to your property, and a faucet turns off by making a watertight seal strong enough to neutralize that pressure. A simple washer and seat assembly achieves this job; if your faucet is dripping, one of these two items probably needs to be replaced. You'll first need to shut off the water and pull out the faucet. You'll then see the washer. If replacing the washer doesn't fix the leak, then the problem is probably in the brass seat, which is located behind the washer. You can fix it yourself if you have the proper seating wrench, but you can also call a professional plumber.
Although plumbing leaks can be costly if neglected, there are ways to prevent them by applying some simple prevention techniques. The most important part of avoiding huge plumbing-repair costs due to leaks is to take preventive measures and immediately address any leaks.

UN-HABITAT Signs Agreements for Shanghai World Expo 2010
18 August 2008: UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT)
Executive Director Anna Tibaijuka has signed a Memorandum of Understanding and
Participation Contract with the Government of the People's Republic of China on
the UN's participation in the Shanghai World Expo 2010, which will be held from
1 May to 31 October 2010 around the theme 'Better City, Better Life.'
At the
signing ceremony, Tibaijuka said the challenge for the international community
was to make urbanization and globalization work for all people, instead of leaving
billions behind or on the margins. She noted that the Shanghai Expo 2010 will
provide an opportunity for participants across China and the world to meet,
share and learn from each other about how urban life can be improved in
developed and developing cities. She explained that the UN Pavilion, themed as
'One Earth and One UN,' would showcase the challenges and opportunities of
globalization and urbanization, as well as best practices of the participating
UN agencies in achieving the UN's objective of peace and development through
working with all stakeholders on urban development. [UN-HABITAT

Go to the web site of Precinct One Constable candidate Grady Castleberry, and you'll see a photo at the top of a handsome African-American man in dark suit and red tie.
If you happen to get one of his mailers, what you'll see alongside the words "Accountability and Transparency" is a photo of a fresh-faced young Anglo man in a dark-blue law enforcement officer's uniform holding a baby in a striped sweater. Unless the recipient knows Mr. Castleberry, the presumption has to be that it's a picture of the candidate, who is, in fact, a sergeant in the Harris County Sheriff's Department.
Political consultant Sue Davis said that certainly wasn't the intention. "There's certainly no hiding the fact that Grady's black," she said.
In a phone conversation she noted that the candidate's photo is featured on most campaign materials, but occasionally, she said, the campaign uses this particular stock image to avoid sending out the same mailing every time.
She's right: His get-out-the-vote card and his push card both feature the candidate's face.
Precinct One, predominantly Democratic, has attracted six constable candidates — three of them Hispanic, one Anglo and two African American — so there would seem to be no tactical advantage in suggesting that the candidate is Anglo. It's a bit strange, nevertheless.
On the other side of the mailer in question, in white type on a dark, shadowy background, is the question: "You're home alone. Danger is at your back door. Who do you want protecting you?"
Voters may decide it's Castleberry, although they shouldn't expect to see the guy with the baby showing up at their front door.

A Closer Look At The Bravely Default Collector's EditionBy Ishaan . February 5, 2014 . 12:30pm
Nintendo of America have shared an unboxing video for the collector's edition of Bravely Default.
Nintendo of America have shared an unboxing video for the collector's edition of Bravely Default.
Bravely Default is a game that balances old and new at every turn, and nowhere is the push and pull between modern expectation and genre tradition more evident than in the soundtrack.
Sometimes, one good character is all you need.
Bravely Default offers access to a perhaps unprecedented variety of settings and allows the player to tweak the game as he or she sees fit.
Bravely Default has been rated by the ESRB, and has received a "T" (Teen) rating.
Bravely Default pre-order is 8% off while PlayStation 4 units are in stock at Best Buy.
Nintendo of America wants to know what your plans for Bravely Default are. A pre-purchase survey for the game is now up on Club Nintendo.
A new trailer for Bravely Default was shared by Nintendo of America this morning, and covers the game's characters.
These Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light bosses—Belphegor, Asmodeus and Beelzebub—are being injected back into Bravely Default: For the Sequel again in Japan.
Nintendo of America have shared a new trailer for Bravely Default that highlights the jobs you can use in the game, along with brief descriptions.
Are we missing any more bosses from Final Fantasy: The Four Heroes of Light in Bravely Default?
Bravely Default is getting a demo in North America today via the Nintendo eShop.
Bravely Default continues stuffing in as many bosses as it possibly can into the game via free DLC.
This year, we've seen several JRPGs such as Bravely Default: For the Sequel, Conception II, and The Legend of Heroes. The producers of these three series discuss the struggles of designing sequels.
Bravely Default is getting a demo in North America next month, and this demo will not be part of the actual game.

A man was found dead early Monday inside a burning car as the home of the car's owner was going up in flames, officials said.
The home at 1806 Holiday Dr. in Coolbaugh Twp., Monroe Co., exploded just before 3 a.m., officials said.
"It was blazing. I heard the boom, and that is what woke me up," said neighbor Roy Rambhawan.
"Like a ball of fire on the lawn," said Gloria Francis.
The explosion was powerful enough to blow out the back wall of the garage and melt the neighbors' vinyl siding.
"I could feel the heat across the street," Rambhawan said.
About 15 minutes later, the homeowner's car burst into flames on Fairview Avenue in nearby Mount Pocono.
"It was huge, very loud. It had a lot of popping sounds," said Rob MacMahon, who recorded video of the fire.
The man found dead inside the car has not yet been positively identified, but the coroner said he matches the physical description of Robert Colthirst, the last listed owner of the home, which was foreclosed in Nov. 2011, according to county records.
Neighbors said Colthirst is a Jamaican immigrant who has lived in the home for five years.
He didn't talk much, but a very, very helpful person," Francis said.
"He would get ice cream for my daughter now and then," Ginna Sipley said.
The coroner will use dental records to make a positive identification.
An accelerant, possibly gasoline, was used to set fire to both the house and car, said investigators, who have not yet determined what it was.
At this point, police aren't saying whether the fire was intentionally set by the man who died or by someone else.
"It's very disturbing," Sipley said.

I heard they were supposed to be up by tonight but still nothing Please let me know whats up because this is all Im waiting for so I can order my macro and DIY kit together. Btw: will the chip be available for purchase on viking360.com or will it just be up for grabs on vikingdigital.com as I want to order the two things together but Im guessing that I will have to order separately since there are no more macro`s on viking digital either? Now someone tell me if this is the right link because its what I been refreshing all day and if it isnt Im going to feel like a dumbass.

Ecology and Genetics for Wildlife Population Health
Laboratory of Holly Ernest DVM PhD
Red-shouldered, Red-tailed, and Coopers Hawks
• Conservation importance of testing the described boundaries of populations and subspecies: Red-shouldered Hawks across the North America
• Sex-based differences in migration patterns
• West Nile virus antibody prevalence in migrating and wintering hawks in Central California
• Conservation importance of testing the described boundaries of populations and subspecies: Red-shouldered Hawks across the North America
"The Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a North American forest raptor composed of five recognized subspecies:
• B. l. elegans occurs along the Pacific coast from Baja California northward to Oregon.
• Four eastern subspecies, B. l. alleni, extimus, lineatus, and texanus, are separated by hundreds to thousands of miles from B. l. elegans and occur contiguously throughout riparian and deciduous forest regions of eastern North America.
No exchange of individuals between east and west has been reported through long-term ringing studies. Subspecies classification within Red-shouldered Hawks has been based on morphology and coloration (Clark and Wheeler 1987; Palmer 1988). However, there is some disagreement in the literature regarding the subspecific delineations within eastern North America. For example, Wheeler (2003) considered B. l. texanus as part of B. l. alleni based on variability of adult plumage and an inability to distinguish between juveniles of these two subspecies throughout their reputed breeding ranges (Clark and Wheeler 2001). No prior information was available on genetic relationships or validity of subspecies classification within Red-shouldered Hawks..." ....
"Our findings provide an example of the conservation importance of testing the described boundaries of populations and subspecies. We found that the distinction of among subspecies of Red-shouldered Hawks does reflect important evolutionary lineages. Our results suggest their recent passage through a genetic bottleneck. The genetic distinction of B. l. elegans, combined with its limited genetic diversity, indicate the importance of well planned conservation and monitoring efforts for this disjunct population of Red-shouldered Hawks. Within eastern North America, further data are required to definitively describe the evolutionary relationships of putative subspecies. However, our data suggest that a distinction may exist between B. l. texanus and B. l. lineatus/alleni. Prior to further interpretation and application of the results for eastern populations, we suggest current data be augmented through continued sample collection and interpreted in the context of ecological data. In conclusion, the increasing rate of suburban development and the dramatic loss of native vegetation communities throughout much of North America along with the genetic distinctness of B. l. elegans from its eastern counterparts suggest that sound conservation strategies for maintenance of genetic diversity among Red-shouldered Hawks may be prudent."

Hull JM, BN Strobel, CW Boal, AC Hull, CR Dykstra, AM Irish, AM Fish, HB Ernest. Comparative phylogeography and population genetics within Buteo lineatus reveals evidence of distinct evolutionary lineages.. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution. 49:988-996.
ABSTRACT: Traditional subspecies classifications may suggest phylogenetic relationships that are discordant with evolutionary history and mislead evolutionary inference. To more accurately describe evolutionary relationships and inform conservation efforts, we investigated the genetic relationships and demographic histories of Buteo lineatus subspecies in eastern and western North America using 21 nuclear microsatellite loci and 375-base pairs of mitochondrial control region sequence. Frequency based analyses of mitochondrial sequence data support significant population distinction between eastern (B. l. lineatus/alleni/ texanus) and western (B. l. elegans) subspecies of B. lineatus. This distinction was further supported by frequency and Bayesian analyses of the microsatellite data. We found evidence of differing demographic histories between regions; among eastern sites, mitochondrial data suggested that rapid population expansion occurred following the end of the last glacial maximum, with B. l. texanus population expansion preceding that of B. l. lineatus/alleni. No evidence of post-glacial population expansion was detected among western samples (B. l. elegans). Rather, microsatellite data suggest that the western population has experienced a recent bottleneck, presumably associated with extensive anthropogenic habitat loss during the 19th and 20th centuries. Our data indicate that eastern and western populations of B. lineatus are genetically distinct lineages, have experienced very different demographic histories, and suggest management as separate conservation units may be warranted.

Gender determination and differential migration in Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensi), Red-shouldered Hawks (Buteo lineatus), and Coopers Hawks (Accipiter cooperii)
Gender determination in the field can be difficult for many bird species because males and females have identical plumage. However, the two sexes often differ in size. In the three raptor species mentioned above, females are usually (but not always) larger than males. By comparing morphological data (measurements of physical characters) from males to that of females, we can determine the best measurements for researchers to use to sex individuals in the field. We use a genetic test to separate males from females in order to compare their measurements. By using a morphological method to sex individuals, we can then determine if the sexes migrate at different times through the Marin Headlands. We collaborate with the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory in the Marin Headlands, Lindsay Wildlife Museum Wildlife Hospital http://www.wildlife-museum.org/, the UC Davis Veterinary Teaching Hospital avian service, and others for both genetic samples and morphological data.

West Nile virus antibody prevalence in migrating and wintering hawks in Central California
To assess the extent of West Nile virus (WNV) exposure of migrating (Marin Headlands) and wintering (Central Valley) hawks in California, plasma from 271 Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), 19 Red-shouldered Hawks (B. lineatus), and 30 Cooper's Hawks (Accipiter cooperii) was tested for WNV antibodies during the winter of 2004–2005. WNV antibodies were found in 5% of migrating and 15% of wintering Red-tailed Hawks, 20% of migrating and 58% of wintering Red-shouldered Hawks, and 13% of migrating Cooper's Hawks. No individuals demonstrated visible signs of WNV illness. Redtailed Hawks that tested positive for WNV antibodies displayed no difference from Red-tailed Hawks without WNV antibodies in weight to wing chord ratio or white blood cell counts. In the Central Valley, WNV antibodies were significantly more prevalent in Red-shouldered Hawks than in Redtailed Hawks. Significantly more Red-tailed Hawks sampled on wintering grounds tested positive for WNV antibodies than Red-tailed Hawks sampled during migration.

My favorite tricks and treats are: Yes her biggest trick is to knock the water glass off the bedside table and see how fast she can run out of the bedroom door. and Like, my other two cats i give them all *greenies* but not often.
Where I hang out: Sasha hangs out with her brothers Thor and Griffin in the big cat tree in the sunroom. Sasha is also very bonded with me and is always around.
My favorite grubs: All the cats eat the same menue, but Sasha is a better eater, she isn't as picky.
My pet peeves: Being put in to the spare room at night..... alone. Otherwise we would never get to sleep the night through. Getting into a headlock with Griffin "( ouch")he is 17 lbs. Sasha is only 11/ lbs.
What I love about my owners: That as bad as i can be at doing such destructive things, she still loves me and take very good care of me. When we have a quiet moment my human mommy is very loving towards me.
My cat hobbies: Tromenting us. Sasha is quick and smart and always on the go. she is very good in opening things with her paws, and loves to rip our bathroom carpet ( go figure) Plays a lot with her cat toys and last but not least enjoys watching all the small animals out in our backyard.
Pet motto: If it isn't broken,i haven't tried hard enough.I love my human parents but i like being naughty much more.

Keanu Reeves had an awkward press conference for 'Henry's Crime' following a daring run into traffic for his fans. Jude Law poses an ugly sweater. Camilla Belle wears a dress that looks part Pollack and part barbershop floor. Only Sarah Silverman ('Peep World') would be eating a bag of popcorn during her premiere's red carpet shots.
Monika wanted more from the 'Groundhog Day'-like thriller 'Repeaters': "'Repeaters' could have been a game-changer for Bessai's cinematic world. But, as it stands, it's simply an enjoyable indie that offers a nice change of pace for Bessai fans, and a little indie fervor for fans of the stars."
Scott Weinberg thinks Werner Herzog's captured some "mind-boggling" pictures in 'Caves of Forgotten Dreams,' but is ultimately unhappy with the 3D aspect: "The gimmick does this film no favors. Even using the finest cameras in the world, 3-D has proven itself to be an inconsistent film companion at best, but given the cameras that Herzog's crew are using ... it just doesn't work."
IFC took U.S. distribution rights to Herzog's 'Caves of Forgotten Dreams,' at least for theatrical, since The History Channel will later bring the film to TV.
Anchor Bay bought the school-shooting drama 'Beautiful Boy' for a reported seven figures.
Also in the seven-figure range is Robert Redford's Lincoln-assassination-drama 'The Conspirator,' which Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions has jointly acquired for a spring release (so no Oscars talk for now).
Korean revenge thriller 'I Saw the Devil' goes to Magnet Releasing, the genre division of Magnolia Pictures.
Finally, The Weinstein Company will put out 'Submarine,' a buzzed about comedy from British actor/director Richard Ayoade ('The IT Crowd'). Can't wait for that one.
indieWIRE LOVE
For the quick recaps, there's the minute-by-minute Toronto Day 7 roundup.
'Blue Valentine' director Derek Cianfrance stopped by the Filmmaker's Lounge to talk about his beginnings as a movie watcher and maker.
Anne Thompson talks to 'Black Swan' director Darren Aronofsky and '127 Hours' producer Christian Colson and writer Simon Beaufoy.
Erik Kohn quotes 'Meek's Cutoff' filmmaker Kelly Reichardt on basing a character partly on Dick Cheney.
Anthony Kaufman had a "fairly decent Toronto" and spotlights the seven films he loved.
And here's the criticWIRE, a near-end-of-festival look at the films of TIFF and how select critics have rated them. Currently the best average grade ('A') is for 'I Saw the Devil.'
Matt Dentler: "Just saw "Submarine," which fully lives up to its hype as the discovery of TIFF10."
kateyrich (of Cinema Blend): "Meek's Cutoff is high-fiber filmmaking: not dazzling or exciting while it's happening, but incredible fulfilling in the end."
jamesrocchi (of MSN Movies) : "MEEK'S CUTOFF: Carved-wood, wrought-iron, hand-made stern-and-simple anti-epic frontier tale plays like a poem made of silences."
mattdentler: "Great to hear that people love 'Meek's Cutoff.' It's such a good one."
mattsinger (of IFC): "Both [Mike D'Angelo] and [AV Club's Scott Tobias] call Errol Morris' TABLOID a fun 'yarn.' One of the few movies of tiff10 that people seem to agree on."
ThePlaylist: "Blue Valentine's ending crushes. Wow."
scottweinberg: "Best Actor? Maybe. Best Actress? Effing definitely. Best Adapted Screenplay? GUARANTEED LOCK. (Rabbit Hole)."

Tough sales pitch: Come to Erie in winter
When snow falls on Erie, concerts continue, games go on and even new opportunities open up for tourists.
But that's a tough message for the head of the area's lead tourism promotion agency to sell to people not familiar with Erie winters.
While cold months still draw the fewest visitors, events like next weekend's NCAA Women's Division I Frozen Four tournament and February's Wine & Chocolate Weekend are helping feed a tourism industry that is growing year-round in the area.
Spending by visitors to Erie County has doubled over the past decade, and revenue from the county's hotel tax has climbed steadily. Even in years when new tourist attractions don't open, old ones make improvements that bring even more people here.
"Tourism has been doing very well," said John Oliver, president of VisitErie. "We've seen our tourism product grow."
While no exact count exists, Oliver estimated the annual number of tourists at 2 million and said VisitErie is trying to welcome more to winter here.
Overall visitors to Erie County in 2009 spent $920 million, and tourism supported upward of 15,000 jobs with a payroll of more than $250 million a year, according to the latest state information provided by Oliver.
In 1999, visitors spent $434 million here, tourism jobs reached about 10,000, and the payroll was $150 million, he said.
Oliver attributes the increases to a combination of more attractions and increased marketing.
What the area has to offer
Recent years have seen the addition of a casino, speedway, indoor water park, environmental center and convention center, and the number of wineries in the Erie area has doubled.
The city now has professional baseball, hockey and basketball. An entire family can get into a game here for what one ticket costs in a big city, Oliver said.
No new attractions are set to open this year, but existing ones plan to improve, Oliver said.
Splash Lagoon Indoor Water Park Resort is adding a wave pool. Waldameer Park & Water World will have three new rides, taking total attractions to more than 75 at the 115-year-old park.
Waldameer owner Paul Nelson said he has no way of knowing how many people visit his park each year because admission is free.
But he did say, "We know every year we're growing. That's why we're adding new rides."
He's so confident in the future of tourism that the park is starting a new five-year plan, with more expansion likely.
A new one-time attraction for Erie is the Frozen Four hockey tournament, which kicks off with a banquet Thursday followed by games Friday and Sunday.
Tourism officials have said the four-team national college tournament could bring 2,000 visitors and pump $2 million into the local economy.
For VisitErie, it's also a chance to share what's in the area.
Marketing Erie
Oliver said his agency, which gets most of its money from a 20 percent share of the county hotel tax revenue, will make its visitors guide available to people here for the hockey tournament. VisitErie also is willing to provide press kits and side stories related to Erie for members of the national media here to cover the games.
"We're constantly soliciting media outside the area," Oliver said, adding that the effort usually extends to a 300-mile radius.
In late January, VisitErie welcomed a travel writer from the Morning Call in Allentown, he said. They got her out ice fishing on Presque Isle Bay and snowshoeing at Asbury Woods Nature Center.
Efforts also are under way to produce a study on what Oliver called "our iconic attraction" -- Presque Isle State Park.
Tens of thousands of people flock to its beaches on sunny summer weekends, and smaller numbers are drawn for winter walks, cross-country skiing and ice fishing. Attendance for 2010 was calculated to be 4,030,294, park officials said.
Oliver is working with those officials to study who visits the park. That information can help better market Presque Isle and show its economic value to people who make decisions about its funding and operation.
The study would examine demographics such as how long park visitors stay and how much money they pump into the local economy. Officials said it could show the value of what the park offers and how cuts in funding hurt visitors and the economy.
Officials said the study could be presented to legislators to make them comfortable with sending state and federal dollars to the park for projects including sand replenishment on beaches.
Oliver said the survey could also help identify services and activities that aren't offered but that people want or would pay for at the peninsula.
While the study would focus on Presque Isle, it would also provide demographic information on tourism in general, Oliver said.
He said a few details are already known about who visits the Erie area.
"The majority come from a 200-mile radius," he said.
Pittsburgh, especially, but Buffalo and Cleveland also send people our way.
Shoppers flock from southern Ontario in Canada because clothes here are cheaper, the selection is better, and no tax is charged on them, Oliver said.
He said quite a few Canadians spend a night here, rather than making a day trip, because a longer stay means they can take more home duty-free.
Even when the economy slid downward and local gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon, tourism in Erie wasn't hurt as much as in other places, Oliver said.
Orlando and Las Vegas saw a downturn because people have to fly long distances to get there. Erie, in some cases, benefited because Pittsburgh people came to the beaches here instead of making the longer trip to the New Jersey shore, Oliver said.
Jobs in tourism
Not all tourism jobs equal manufacturing jobs of years past. But, Oliver said, "there are well-paying jobs in tourism locally."
He said the industry also provides first jobs for teens, meaning less reliance on parents for money, and offers jobs for people re-entering the work force or new to the country or to families wanting a second income.
Some are seasonal, such as lifeguards at Presque Isle and ride operators at Waldameer, which employs about 20 people at this time of year and about 400 in summer. Others are year-round, including lifeguards at Splash Lagoon, Oliver said.
He said tourist attractions, which also are popular with the locals, can entice people to relocate to Erie for work in other sectors.
For some businesses, tourists are what keeps them going.
Jeff Ore, co-owner of Penn Shore Vineyards & Winery in North East Township, said thousands of visitors from Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and other places go through his winery each year. September and October are especially busy when "a lot of people come from all over," he said.
Winery tours and free live music in his vineyards also draw people in the summer. Between 600 and 750 were expected for the Wine & Chocolate Weekend, a February event that featured stops at Penn Shore and 20 other wineries on the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail.
Ore said tourism accounts for 90 percent of his business. "If we lived on local business," he said, "I'd be out of business."

NORTHAMPTON - A 20-year-old Pittsfield driver was cited by police Tuesday after she ran down Lord Jesus Christ in a marked crosswalk at Main Street and Strong Avenue, police said.
Brittany E. Cantarella was cited for a crosswalk violation, said Northampton police Capt. Scott Savino.
Christ, 50, of Belchertown, was taken to Cooley Dickinson Hospital for treatment of minor injuries following the 3:30 p.m. accident. He was treated at the hospital and then released.
Cantarella was making a left turn from Strong Avenue onto Main Street when her car, a 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, struck Christ.
Christ was in a marked crosswalk at the time of the accident, Savino said.
Savino said officers checked Christs identification at the scene and confirmed it was his legal name.

Update: On May 5, 2005, PETA issued an apology for its "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign. In a letter to the Jewish community, PETA President Ingrid Newkirk said she realized that the campaign had caused pain: "This was never our intention, and we are deeply sorry." While ADL would have preferred that the apology had come earlier, it welcomed the letter and expressed hope that PETA would no longer engage in efforts to compare the slaughter of animals to human suffering in the Holocaust.
New York, NY, February 24, 2003 �The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) denounced People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) for its "Holocaust on Your Plate" project for trivializing the murder of six million Jews and called its appeal for approval by the Jewish community "outrageous, offensive and taking chutzpah to new heights." Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor, issued the following statement:
The effort by PETA to compare the deliberate systematic murder of millions of Jews to the issue of animal rights is abhorrent. PETA's effort to seek "approval" for their "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign is outrageous, offensive and takes chutzpah to new heights.Rather than deepen our revulsion against what the Nazis did to the Jews, the project will undermine the struggle to understand the Holocaust and to find ways to make sure such catastrophes never happen again. Abusive treatment of animals should be opposed, but cannot and must not be compared to the Holocaust. The uniqueness of human life is the moral underpinning for those who resisted the hatred of Nazis and others ready to commit genocide even today.
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.
