The internet is a wonderful thing, allowing automotive enthusiasts to search for interesting cars and parts to buy. We do this on a weekly basis to bring you our Potential Purchase of the Week, and this week's is certainly special. We found not one, but a pair of late 1968/69 Opel Rallye Kadetts for sale.
General Motors introduced the Kadett in 1962 as a basic Volkswagen Beetle competitor. The second-generation car debuted in 1966 with a small 1.1-liter I-4, rather than the 1.0-liter engine of the previous generation. The Kadett was also offered with 1.5-, 1.7-, and 1.9-liter I-4s.
In 1967, GM began importing the car to the U.S. and selling it through Buick dealerships, simply badged as the Opel.
The Opel Kadett proved to be wildly successful in Europe. With almost 2.7 million second-generation cars sold, it remains one of Opel's best-selling vehicles ever in terms of volume. The car proved extremely successful in the U.S. as well. In 1969, the Kadett was one of the best-selling import cars in the U.S., second only to Volkswagen's Beetle.
In 1967, Opel introduced the Rallye version of the Kadett, which featured a sporty four-speed manual transmission and body kit. The body kit included fog lights, chrome rims, stripes, and a faux-wood steering wheel. With its sporty fastback styling and striping, it was targeted at wannabe college racers. Despite its sporting intentions, the car could be ordered with any of the four engines offered.
The pair of Opels offered for sale here are of the Rallye variety, thankfully with the largest 1.9-liter engine. It produced 106 horsepower and was coupled to a four-speed manual transmission. The cars for sale here are from the 1968 and 1969 model years and have been refurbished.
Why would I want one?
Even though this vintage Kadett was one of Opel's highest volume cars ever, they're rather rare to see nowadays — especially a Rallye version in the U.S. They were 30+ mpg daily drivers that became classics overnight.
The cars are also reliable as the seller reports that one sat for 37 years and, with a new battery, started right up. All of the hard work has also been done on these two examples, meaning the new owner could simply buy them and enjoy. They'd make a great matching set of cars for husband and wife or father and son.
Find these cars on eBay. H/T to Bring a Trailer!

GOLDFISH CARE & BASICS; Filtration, Chemistry, More
Goldfish Care & Information, Overview;
First let me preface this article to point out that this is extremely basic information and that I recommend following the "further resources" provided within this article for much more in depth information, as well as these articles/resources:
As for goldfish in bowls, this is not an appropriate place to house any carp, which is the family to which goldfish belong.
If a bowl is all you have or can afford, a betta, or even a paradise fish or guppy is a better choice.
WATER CONDITIONS/CHEMISTRY:Although goldfish are not very particular about water conditions, they still do better at a ph of 7.0 to 7.8 (although I have successfully kept goldfish at lower & higher pH, so I would not worry too much about the pH number, rather pH stability).
A high mineral content is a must, especially important for Goldfish is a constant supply of positive calcium and magnesium ions. Generally providing a GH of 150 ppm plus (200-500 GH is best) will provide these minerals assuming very regular water changes and replenishment of these essential mineral ions.
However the positive ions of these minerals will become exhausted even when your test kit shows an adequate GH, especially when water changes do not keep up with replenishment of these mineral ions.
The use of Mineral Blocks such as Wonder Shells is strongly advised for goldfish for this reason).
Product Resource: Wonder Shell; Aquarium Mineral Ion Replenishing Block
A KH of 100 ppm or more is useful for pH stability and providing the higher carbonate water goldfish generally prefer.
For more about the importance KH, GH, electrolytes and Calcium play in fish heath- especially goldfish health, see this article:
What is correct Aquarium Chemistry".
For the chemistry as it pertains to organic waste and the water parameters there of; for optimum health of goldfish, I recommend keeping an ammonia/nitrites level of .25- 0, and nitrates below 50 ppm.
Further Nitrates Reference:
Aquarium Answers; Nitrates
Keep in mind that excess organic wastes can also affect your pH/KH, so even if your ammonia and nitrites are near 0, a problematic nitrate level can result in problems with pH and KH stability.
Please Read this article for more (in particular the FAQ Section):
The Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle
Excess organics, which is common to goldfish aquariums due to their higher impact on bio load when compared to many other fish, can often lead to higher nitrates and lower KH. The result can be "Yellow Water" which in itself is not necessarily a problem, but can be an indicator of unstable KH/pH and rising nitrate.
Please read:
Yellow Water; Freshwater Basics
Another parameter of chemistry (not often considered) for long term health and growth is maintaining a Balanced Redox Potential, although not considered essential, newer evidence seems to refute this line of thought. As well, dirty fish such as goldfish normally do much better in ponds where there is natural sunlight and good water flow, this is proven to be large contributor to long term goldfish health in aquariums.
For more about the Redox Potential, please read this article:
"The Redox Potential in Aquariums and Ponds and how it relates to proper aquatic health"
FILTRATION:Since Goldfish tend to be dirty fish* by popular definition; Good filtration and water circulation is a must (along with regular proper water changes).
*By the term "dirty", what is more correct is that having slow and inefficient digestive systems that require more food per ounce of fish weight, and the fact goldfish tend to be constant grazers that root around substrate, goldfish simply make more mess and add more to the bio load.
Regardless of the term used to describe this (I prefer 'higher impact on bio load' over 'dirty fish'), the point of higher bio load impact by goldfish remains a testable fact!
Back to filtration, make sure to have good surface agitation of the aquarium water whether this is achieved by an air stone, the agitation provided by an HOB Filter, air diffuser in an Internal Filter, or Sponge Filter powered by air (or with a Power Head with an air diffuser), or similar.
More than one filter is good for all fish however this goes double for goldfish.
Product Resource: API Super Clean/ Smart HOB Filters
Canister filters can be very useful for goldfish, due to their high efficiency and great bio load and mechanical filtration abilities (although make sure to clean them regularly, or they become nitrate factories).
Unfortunately they are generally expensive & cumbersome.
Product Resource: SunSun Economy Aquarium Canister Filter
One lesser known alternative is the Internal Wet/Dry filters such as the ReSun Internal Wet/Dry which can higher bio load capacity than most HOB filters and can have UV Sterilizers attached (unlike HOB/ power filters).
Product Resource: Internal Wet/Dry Aquarium Filter
Although a well known filter among breeders and many professionals, but unfortunately less known among many hobbyists; the Sponge Filters with the Patented Hydro Sponge Filters leading the way are an excellent choice for Goldfish due to their high bio filtration capacity.
Since Goldfish can produce a higher bio load compared to similar sized fish, I suggest a larger size such as the Hydro Sponge #5 for a 40 gallon aquarium.
Product Resource: Sponge Filters; Premium HydroSponge
In controlled test these filters actually out perform many of the popular aquarium power filters such as the Penguin in biological capacity (which is important for dirty fish such as Goldfish) and their low cost make them a great value.
I would recommend ANY BEGINNER that has purchased or received aquarium starter kit form many of the big box retailers such as Walmart trash the filters that come with these sets and purchase a Sponge Filter, Sponge Filter Kit or Sponge Filter/Power Filter combination.
In fact, a combination of hang on back filters (such as the Super Clean, SunSun HBL Filters or Aqua Clear) and Sponge Filters are an excellent filter combination usually for less money.
Product Resources: *SunSun Economy Aquarium Power Filter, Reliable HOB
*Aquarium Sponge Filter Kits
For top notch bio filtration capacity, the newest generation Fluidized Bed Filters are difficult to beat.
The TMC #600 has 10 lbs. of Bio-Load (fish, etc.) capacity, which is far more than any filter even remotely close in size has the ability to handle!!
I personally ran older generation LifeGuard Fluidized Filters on several goldfish tanks with vastly better results than previous filter, and these we not as good as the newer generation TMC Fluidized Sand Bed filter.
Product Resource: TMC Newest Generation Fluidized Sand Bed filter
Another inexpensive filter is the Internal Filter which is especially good as secondary filters do to the fact that these filters add cross circulation. I also recommend two filters if possible for both redundancy and water circulation. Good filtration and cleaning is a must (along with a proper GH/electrolytes and kH).
Product Resource: SunSun, Via Aqua Internal Power Filters
*A key point is that adequate and redundant filtration is a must for goldfish.
For much more about Filtration, Please read this article:
AQUARIUM FILTRATION; Filter Reviews, Use, Troubleshooting
Or Freshwater Set Up Suggestions
SUBSTRATE:Many goldfish purists will tell you that goldfish should be kept in bare bottom aquariums for optimum health. They are correct, however in my years of experience, with the right size gravel and good aquarium hygiene (cleaning), you can also have healthy, long lived goldfish.
There are Three reasons in my experience;
Here is how to get around this and have a beautiful goldfish aquarium WITH gravel and decorations:
See this article for more about Aquarium Gravel:
Aquarium Gravel, Substrate
BASIC CLEANING:Regular water changes are a must.
A small 20% change once per week is best (sometimes larger less frequent changes can be performed as per ones busy schedule).
Regular cleanings with a Gravel Vacuum, Python is the best way to perform these water changes.
Further Reference: Aquarium Cleaning, Reasons, Methods
In between sludge/mulm removal with a Eheim Sludge Remover Battery Gravel Vacuum can also be helpful.
Product Resources:
*Lees Gravel Vac
*Eheim Sludge/Detritus Extractor Battery Gravel Vacuum
I recommend every two weeks for tanks under 60 gallons (225 liters), or every 4 weeks for larger. Please note that more frequent smaller cleanings are best for ANY size aquarium, such as 20% every week.
The use of products such as SeaChem Prime after/during the addition of new tap water is strongly suggested to remove chlorine/ chloramines, ammonia/ nitrite neutralization, and aid in fish stress (via addition of electrolytes which a fresh Wonder Shell help with as well).
Product Resource: Prime Professional Aquarium Water Conditioner
Make sure the water is of similar ph and temperature and has no chlorine or chloramines when you add it to your aquarium.
Further References:
*Tap Water Use in Aquarium; Chlorine, Chloramines
*Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle; High Ammonia
Remember, goldfish produce a higher bio load than many other fish and can grow up to 12or more. With this in mind, house them in an appropriate aquarium for good health and long life. Even if you start out with a ten gallon aquarium, I recommend moving up to a 45-60 gallon aquarium as soon as possible.
Further References:
*Bio Load in Aquarium or Pond
*"AQUARIUM CLEANING; Reasons and methods for water changes"
CYCLING YOUR AQUARIUM:It is important to have a fully functional bio filtration system running, so you should start your aquarium and have it running before fish introduction.
Your aquarium will not be at peak biological filtration for at least 6 weeks. To start your biological filtration, there are many cycling products available, such Cycle by Hagen. My success with these products is NOT at all good; it is very difficult for the aerobic bacteria that are needed for cycling your aquarium to live in a sealed container kept at room temperature, as they die very quickly without oxygen.
A better choice for a synthetic cycling product would be SeaChem Stability, and even with this product I would recommend its use to compliment other cycling methods such as the seasoned media/gravel method or for use in sudden increases in bio loads (such as over feeding).
Product Resource: SeaChem Stability; Premium Aquarium Cycling Aid
I prefer to add gravel and/or used filter sponge or cartridge from another aquarium. This method of adding media is much faster (you still have to take it slow), and provides all the necessary bacteria, the only negative is adding disease pathogens to your aquarium, but I have rarely encountered this problem.
If you add plants (many such as hornwort remove nitrogenous waste), you can stock somewhat faster as the plants will remove ammonia too.
We used this method for our Aquarium Maintenance route for years and never lost a fish to Ammonia or nitrite poisoning.
Another newer method is with Bio Spira, if you use this product, make sure you purchase it from a dealer that keeps it between 34- 40 F otherwise this product is no better than Cycle. My personal experience with this product is limited, however many I trust in the Professional Aquarium maintenance field and elsewhere have reported mixed reviews of this product.
For MUCH more information about the cycling and the Nitrogen Cycle (including other fishless cycling methods), please read this article:
BASIC FEEDING:Goldfish also are basically grazing fish and need to be fed frequent small amounts of fish food that are not made from animal based products.
It is noteworthy that one part of the reason goldfish are considered "dirty" (high bio-load impact is a better term as noted earlier) is the diets goldfish are generally fed have a lot more "filler" ingredients. This is not to say these "fillers" are bad either as goldfish are better thought of as cattle in the type of diet and way they feed, so feeding a goldfish a diet intended for a much more carnivorous fish would be no different than feeding cattle cat food!!
Goldfish do well on foods high in vegetable based proteins (such as spirulina); they need a high fat content and Vitamins C & E, and carotenoid for color enhancement. DL-methionine is an essential amino acid for producing the Lionhead feature in goldfish. High levels of methionine can be found in the vegetable proteins of spinach, green peas, and garlic.
DL-methionine can also be found in fish meal. Although you should not resort to feeding only peas as some do, this is not complete and can lead to digestive problems if fed long term. Spirulina Algae, Vegetable protein extracts and Whole fish meal are ingredients to look for in a goldfish food.
Also being grazing fish goldfish like to root around in the gravel. Because of this be careful with left over food in the gravel as this can lodge in a goldfish intestinal tract or mouth. I strongly recommend soaking all dry food in water for 5 minutes prior to feeding; this will soften the food and also prevent intestinal gas that can lead to infections.
A general rule for feeding goldfish (assuming good water conditions, filtration, etc.) is two to three times per day what the fish will consume in about 3-5 minutes. What is important to note (as I noted earlier) is since goldfish are basically vegetarian grazers with long digestive tracts; goldfish do best with frequent small feedings vs. less frequent larger feedings. With this point in mind I recommend feeding even four times or more VERY SMALL amounts when dealing with weak or young goldfish.
Some goldfish aficionados recommend goldfish should be kept in aquariums without gravel to prevent accidental ingestion. Personally with proper feeding technique and good aquatic husbandry I do not think this is generally necessary.
Be careful of foods such as TetraFin that are of poor quality as the ingredients will tend to cause excess gas and excess pollution due to many un-digestible ingredients.
For young or weak goldfish I recommend Spirulina 20 flake food as PART of their diet along with quality pellets such as the top notch AquaMaster Ultra Premium Goldfish Food, Sanyu Goldfish Pellets, Hikari Gold, Pro Gold, or other high quality pelleted goldfish foods for adult and sub-adult goldfish.
Product Resources:
*Spirulina 20; Highly Digestible Spirulina based Fish Food
*AquaMaster Ultra Premium Color Enhancing Goldfish Food, with Probiotics
*Sanyu Color Enhancing Goldfish Pellets
For more information about proper fish feeding, see these articles:
*QUALITY FISH FOOD; What Ingredients are Needed for Proper Fish Nutrition
* Goldfish Feeding.
DISEASE PREVENTION:I will not go into depth in this article about disease prevention other to say that the old adage of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is very true for goldfish (and all fish). I personally have resisted adding disease charts as these proliferate all over the internet, many are very cookie cutter in their descriptions. I feel first understanding prevention methods followed then by a knowledge of antibiotics, chemical treatments, and organic treatments will go much further in treatment and disease prevention than a disease chart that has a one size fits all approach.
For Disease Prevention, this is a MUST READ article:
Aquarium Fish Disease Prevention
For Aquarium Medications/Treatments, please read this article:
"How Aquatic Medications/Treatments Work"
BASIC BREEDING:Sexing goldfish is very difficult before they reach sexual maturity.
One way to tell is by looking at the shape of the vent. Females may have rounder convex vents while males have thinner concave vents. The pectoral fins of males may be rather thick and stiff (compared to those of female goldfish) and with a more pronounced outer ray. Another way to tell is by male goldfish will developing breeding stars on their gill covers and along the first ray of their pectoral fins when they are ready to breed.
Most goldfish are bred in ponds, and that is where my experience (and much success as well) have been. This said goldfish can be bred indoors I would just recommend duplicating pond conditions as much as possible.
With ponds I have had success with regular, shubunkins and other fancies in ponds down to 150 gallons (and smaller may be possible, but I have never attempted this).
What is key is the right conditions from temperature to environment.
As to temperature the generally accepted prime breeding temperature is 68 F (20 C), although breeding can happen anywhere from 50 to 80 F (10 -26 C). What I feel is more important as to temperature is to slowly lower your pond or aquarium and then bring your aquarium/pond back up to around 68 F (often this works well naturally in the spring as to ponds).
The other aspect I feel is important based on my successes (and failures) is an environment with a LOT of plant roots for the goldfish to lay eggs in and the fry to hide in, feed in, and grow in. In ponds I used Water Iris which had a very good root structure and heavy strong growth above the water. These roots also encouraged the growth of many small insect larvae for fish to feed on as well.
In an aquarium I would suggest Purple Waffle, Aluminum Plant or Peace Lilies. These plants generally grow good root structures indoors as long as proper nutrients are in the water and there is adequate lighting.
Further Lighting Information: Aquarium Lighting
VHO, T2 and many other high output lights that have at least a major out put in the 6400 K range should work (the SHO would be my first choice though).
Product Resources:
*T2 Aquarium Lamps, Fixtures
*SHO Aquarium Lamps, Fixtures
I would recommend reading this article about aquarium plants for more information here:
Planted Freshwater Aquariums.
Once eggs are laid the temperature of the tank will determine the incubation period generally 5 days at 70 F and 7 days at 65 F. In an aquarium it is probably best to remove them is possible and treat this tank (a ten gallon should work well for this) with Methylene Blue to prevent egg fungus (white and/or pearl color) eggs will not be fertilized and need to be removed).
In ponds I occasionally added Methylene Blue, but I never felt the need to remove the eggs due to very extensive root structures for the eggs. If you can achieve this in an aquarium, this may spare you this exercise as well.
Product Resource: Kordon Methylene Blue from AAP
The eggs will begin to hatch in about 2 days at the above temperature range. When the goldfish fry have hatched do not change the water with anything other than an air line tube so as to avoid harming any delicate fry, and as well make sure that no scum is on the top of the water, so you need a small air stone to aerate the water as newly hatched goldfish fry are very sensitive to low dissolved oxygen levels and high water surface tension (a paper towel floated on the surface of the water can remove some organic based scum).
*After hatching this time you need to raise the heater about two degrees more in aquariums (in ponds this is not necessary/possible).
*After ten days you will need to start feeding them three times a day with baby brine shrimp, ground up hard boiled egg yolks and/or can give powdered Spirulina 20 flake food.
Make sure ALL food is consumed and that any residual food is gently siphoned off the bottom of the grow out tank using a small diameter siphon such as air line tubing.
Product Resources:
*Spirulina 20 Fish Food Flake
*Aquarium Air line tubing
Here is a link to another site with further goldfish breeding information:
SUMMARY:Add or subtract many of these points and your goldfish may have problems.
Good maintenance which includes aquarium cleaning, proper filtration, a healthy diet (which includes more frequent smaller feedings for goldfish), and as well I recommend "Wonder Shells" (for minerals cations & stable GH to aid in healthy osmoregulation) or "Medicated Wonder Shells" for prevention and/ or treatment of goldfish disease such as ich/ fungus.
The medicated version should NOT be used continuously unlike the regular version that is meant for continual use & is best for mild to moderate Ich infestations, along with prevention when new fish are added.

GAINESVILLE — Florida LB Jelani Jenkins has had trouble staying on the field this season, but he is not letting that get him down.
The redshirt junior, who has started the last three games, missed four games this season with a broken thumb and a pulled hamstring. He has left two other games early because of the hamstring.
"It's been tough, but I trust the athletic training staff," Jenkins said. "They got me back on the field as quickly as possible. … I'm happy the way the season is going."
Jenkins recorded a sack Saturday against Missouri, and in his limited time this season he has one interception, 18 tackles and two sacks.
Injury Update: DT Leon Orr is still working back into playing shape after being hospitalized last week with the flu. He is unlikely to play Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette, coach Will Muschamp said. … Junior WR/KR Andre Debose has yet to return to practice. Debose, the primary kickoff and punt returner, hyperextended a knee in practice last week and missed the win over Missouri. TE Omarius Hines returned kicks against Missouri and S De'Ante Saunders returned punts.
USF: Testing QBs
TAMPA — Open weeks offer an opportunity to experiment, and as Matt Floyd and Bobby Eveld compete to be USF's starting quarterback next week at Miami, the Bulls are giving another player a look, too.
Senior WR Victor Marc, who played quarterback in high school and for part of his freshman year at USF, took snaps Wednesday in a wildcat look.
"Learning experience," Marc said. "Just trying to do everything the coaches want me to do, just trying to provide help that we need right now."
Senior QB B.J. Daniels is out for the season with a broken bone at the base of his left leg. Last year, when Daniels missed a game due to a shoulder injury and Eveld started against Louisville, Marc made a cameo, converting on a fourth-and-short play out of a direct snap.
"We have to go back to the drawing board, learn everything I can during the off week," said Marc, who has 12 catches for 125 yards as a slot receiver this year.
Greg Auman, Times staff writer
Miami: DB Bush out
CORAL GABLES — Starting S Deon Bush, who aggravated a shoulder stinger in the victory against Virginia Tech, will miss Saturday's game against Virginia, coach Al Golden announced.
LB Denzel Perryman, who has been battling an ankle injury, practiced with limited contact. Golden said he was "between probable and doubtful" for this week.
Golden also said freshman WR Malcolm Lewis (dislocated right ankle) was granted a medical redshirt and will have four years of eligibility.
South Florida Sun Sentinel
UCF: Quick study
ORLANDO — It's not easy to stay somewhat under the radar when you've got the nickname "Speedy" and run a 4.45-second 40 yards, but Knights sophomore WR Rannell Hall remains a quiet threat with huge potential.
He earned All-Conference USA first-team honors with his kick-return abilities as a freshman, but he has been limited by a shoulder injury and overshadowed by Quincy McDuffie's record-setting efforts this season.
Still, players and coaches say Hall has made significant progress. He leads UCF in receiving touchdowns with four and is averaging a team-high 18.1 yards per catch.
"He learned the system, so he understands the scheme now and knows how to attack coverage," WR Rob Calabrese said.

I went out on a limb last week, and now it's time to see how that decision played out.
- I predicted that Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA ) would close higher on the week. The fast-growing company behind the only electric car turning heads these days has been one of this year's hottest stocks, and it had hit new highs after delivering a surprising profit a week earlier. Despite the positive momentum, I thought the stiff valuation warranted a breather -- at least for a week. The stock fell 7% on the week. I was right.
- I predicted that the tech-heavy Nasdaq would outperform the Dow Jones Industrial Average. (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) . This has been a tricky call lately, so how did it play out this time? Well, this wasn't a good week for stocks. The Nasdaq moved 2.2% lower, and the Dow managed to close 1.6% lower. I was wrong.
- My final call was for Brocade Communications (NASDAQ: BRCD ) to beat Wall Street's income estimates in its latest quarter. The provider of networking data storage solutions has been posting blowout quarterly results over the past year. I was banking on seeing the trend continue. Analysts were looking for a profit of $0.12 a share during the quarter, and it came through with net income of $0.19. The stock soared on the blowout report. I was right.
Two out of three? I can do better than that.
Let me once again whip out my trusty, dusty, and occasionally accurate crystal ball to make three calls that may play out over the next few trading days.
1. Pandora will close lower on the week
The market's turning up the volume on Pandora (NYSE: P ) these days. The leading music-streaming service is growing, and analysts are generally upbeat about the music-discovery platform. Shares hit another 52-week high on Friday as it gears up to report its latest quarterly results on Thursday.
I'm a little more concerned about the near term. Pandora's metrics in recent months haven't been encouraging. Growth has been slowing, and the average user is listening less. Naturally, this isn't necessarily awful for Pandora. It's merely shaking off the freeloaders who used to tune in a lot and cost the company more in music royalties than it was making off those users through ad revenue.
Pandora's revenue can grow, and it probably will report a healthy boost in premium subscriptions. However, the stock has run up so high in anticipation of a blowout report that it makes a sell-off after the results are released possible.
My first call is for Pandora to close lower on the week.
2.The Nasdaq Composite will beat the Dow this week
Tech has been a big winner in recent years, so betting on tech over stodgy blue chips has been a good bet for me more often than not.
I'm going to stick with this pick. Most of the names in the composite are just too cheap at this point, and tech should be what carries us through the economic recovery. Yes, earnings reports have been rough in some places this season, but the long-term outlook is still quite favorable. The market is ripe for the tech-stacked secondary stocks to continue to outpace the 30 megacaps that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
3. Hewlett-Packard will beat Wall Street's earnings estimates
Some stocks are just flat-out better than others.
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) is the world's largest maker of personal computers. That may not be the best place to be at the moment, but with a smaller rival eyeing privatization, and other players scrambling to make a dent in the growing smartphone and tablet markets, it does create an opportunity for HP's underestimated non-PC businesses to shine.
Another thing it does is make analysts look like perpetual underachievers. If analysts say the company posted a profit of $0.87 a share in its latest quarter, I'll argue that it held up better than that. History's on my side!
One of my best tricks to beating the market is finding stocks that perpetually land ahead of the prognosticators. Let's go over the past year of earnings reports.
EPS Estimate
Things can change, of course. Cynics will argue that $0.87 a share isn't a victory after HP earned $1 a share during the same period a year earlier. Margin pressure on the PC side could also squeeze profits from the tech bellwether's more resilient businesses.
However, it's hard to argue against the trend. Everything seems to be falling into place for another market-thumping quarter on the bottom line.
Three for the road
Well, there are three predictions right there. Let's see how I fare this week.
3 more predictions

Werewolf (Bloodmoon)

- For other uses, see Werewolf.
Werewolves are creatures that appear in The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon.
They are found on the island of Solstheim. While first appearing in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, werewolves are featured more prominently in Bloodmoon. The Daedric Prince Hircine keeps werewolves as his wards and servants. In Bloodmoon, when infected with Lycanthropy, the Nerevarine may get strange dreams and be tasked with quests by Hircine. One can also try to find a cure for the condition. Should the Nerevarine complete the tasks for Hircine, the Daedric Prince will enhance the Nerevarine's powers, such as by giving them sharper and stronger claws.
- Enhanced Sneak: Sneak is increased to 95 as a werewolf.
- Enhanced Acrobatics: Acrobatics is increased dramatically and enables jumps further and higher than normal.
- Claws: The claws of a werewolf can tear through anything but Daedric Armor. Hircine may enhance this ability if his requests are completed.
- Durability: Werewolves are very tough, and have a resistance to normal human weapons. However, they are highly vulnerable to Silver and Daedric weapons.
- Super-Speed: A Werewolf is incredibly fast and agile, especially when running on all fours.
- Super-Strength: A lycanthrope has strength beyond that of a regular human.
- Bite: A bite from a werewolf is infectious and will turn any creature into a were-creature (wolf, boar etc.). undead are immune to it, but will spread it.
- Eye of the Wolf: Like Vampires, Werewolves can see in the dark. Each use this ability to hunt at night and observe their surroundings better. Eye of the Wolf also gives Detect Human within 200 ft.
- Spirit of the Wolf: Health replenishes slowly over time.
- Health is regained by feeding rather than by regeneration, unless not in a fight, in which case the werewolf's health will regenerate significantly faster than of most living beings in the world.
- Bloodlust: Werewolves have an insatiable blood-lust that drives them to kill.
- Transformed werewolves cannot equip apparel, including armor.
- When in werewolf form, the Nerevarine cannot pick locks or collect items/loot from corpses.
- When transformed, they may be unable to fit through narrow dungeon doorways. Walking through such doorways backwards may fix this.
- More vulnerable to Silver weapons.
- People other than followers will attack a werewolf on sight.
- If someone sees the Nerevarine transforming, they will recognize them as a werewolf even in human form, and may treat them as an outsider or attack them on sight.
- If the Nerevarine is seen transforming, they will get a 1000 bounty and most characters will attack them.
Becoming a werewolfEdit
There are two ways of acquiring Lycanthropy:
- Play the main quest for Bloodmoon up to Siege of Skaal Village.
- Find one of the nine "wanderers." These werewolves are powerful and have reached their ultimate strength. The Nerevarine may identify a wanderer by finding wandering naked man or woman around Solstheim, who will tell him to go away.

The Aegean Coast is an amazing area to visit with so much on offer to see and do. Most people stay in this part of the country to see the splendours of Ephesus and Pamukkale.
Ephesus is a 15 minute drive from the bustling resort of Kusadasi. This huge vast area was founded between 1500-1000 B.C and had a population of more than 250,000 in the 1st century BC. It was the second largest city in the Roman Empire. Only a quarter of Ephesus has been uncovered and it is full of stunning ruins. The architecture is simply breathtaking. Ephesus is home to many important historic buildings.
The Celsus Library is the first ever 2 storey building and held 14,000 scrolls.
The Grand Theatre had an estimated 25,000 seating capacity. It is said to be the largest outdoor theatre in the ancient world. It was home to many gladiator fights and taking a seat in this arena gives you a real feel of what the atmosphere must have been like.
The Temple of Artemis is now one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World. Only foundations and fragments of the temple remain. The whole temple apart from the roof was made of marble for the Greek Goddess Artemis who was said to be the fertility God (and also know as the Lady of Ephesus).

Whether you're dealing with chronic or acute back, neck, shoulder pain, osteoarthritis or headaches
Perhaps you've been dealing with fertility issues, miscarriage or planning IVF
Or you're feeling anxious, stressed out or downright depressed sometimes
You're in right place if you're looking for a safe and natural solution.
I'm Amanda Farrar, an Acupuncture, EFT & Hypnotherapy Practitioner in Harrogate.
I've spent the last 17 years empowering people just like you to overcome these issues in addition to many other health issues.
However over the years I have developed a special interest in helping and supporting people with the following issues:
- Acute & Chronic Pain
- Fertility, IVF & Pregnancy Support
- Depression, Anxiety & Stress
Acute Pain
I love treating people with pain as the results can be so quick and effective! Whether you're suffering from lower or upper back pain, neck, shoulder or joint pain I almost always combine massage and acupuncture and add moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, cupping and far infra-red lamps when needed.
My intention is to use acupuncture and massage as intervention to get you back to full health as quickly as possible.
Along with treatment I offer advice and guidance of how to make appropriate lifestyle changes so you can get speed up the process and prevent any further occurrences.
Chronic Pain
When treating chronic pain I take the same approach as with acute pain combining massage and acupuncture and add moxibustion, electro-acupuncture, cupping and far infra-red lamps when needed.
The only difference is that you may need more sessions than if your issue is acute.
I struggled with lower back pain on and off for over ten years with occasional 'attacks' when I was barely able to move, my GP dispensed painkillers and my osteopath offered temporary relief. I was worried as the attacks were getting more frequent. I was amazed at the results of six brief acupuncture sessions; two years on I have had no more 'attacks' and very little general pain. The sessions themselves were pleasant and relaxing – I often drifted off to sleep. I have no hesitation in recommending Amanda and would use her again.Carolynn, Harrogate
I would just like to say a massive thanks to Amanda, because without the treatment she has given me, I really believe I would not be due to give birth next month. We conceived our first child immediately and had a really easy pregnancy, however when it came to having baby number two things weren't so easy.
After 3 miscarriages in less than a year we were starting to get worried. A friend recommended Amanda to us. Upon starting the treatment I was pregnant immediately, but very anxious when cramping started again, however Amanda targeted the treatment to stop the cramping and boost my depleted energy levels and here I am 8 months along!
I found Amanda to be very professional and personable and would thoroughly recommend her to anyone in a similar situation.Lisa, Knaresborough
Fertility & IVF Support
If you are looking for support with infertility issues my intention is to help you in the creation of optimum health by offering an integrated approach that empowers you to make the lifestyle changes that enhance your health and ultimately your fertility.
During every step of the process, whether you're working on improving your fertility naturally, preparing for the IVF or in the midst of IVF treatment, I offer a sympathetic ear, advice, stress relief, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and EFT to support you during what can be an exceptionally stressful and upsetting time.
Once pregnant I can support you through the first trimester as even though this can be an amazingly exciting time many women feel just dreadful.
Acupuncture is great at treating morning sickness, improving energy and keeping your stress to a minimum especially if you have had one or more miscarriages before.
Breech Position & Labour Prep & Induction
In the final stages of your pregnancy I can support you with moxibustion for breech position, labour preparation and induction.
Depression, Anxiety & Stress
In 2009 the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), the research arm of NHS funded the Acupuncture, Counselling and Usual Care for Depression (ACUDep) Trial which was carried out by the University of York Acupuncture Research Department. The aim of the trial was to determine how effective short courses of acupuncture or counselling might be for treating depression when used as an addition to usual GP care. Researchers compared how effective these treatments were, and also assessed the cost-effectiveness of the interventions. I was part of the team of acupuncturists that participated in treating the trial participates with regular acupuncture for up to 12 sessions. The results of this study show that both acupuncture and counselling are associated with patient benefits in the short and medium term. (MacPherson et al 2009) Due to my involvement in this trial I have a lots of experience in supporting people through depression, anxiety and stress.
I was encouraged to try acupuncture when I started to have anxiety attacks and I am so glad I chose this option rather than the pills the GP prescribed me. Through Amanda's expertise I have come to understand the cause of my attacks which has lead to me overcoming this problem and letting me lead a normal, anxiety free life again. I'm sure everyone would agree that it is better to treat the cause than the symptom which is just what Amanda has done. Acupuncture also allows me to relax and to stop worrying about what is causing the attacks but at the same time developing my understanding of why they are happening which in turn has made me better. I believe that without Amanda's guidance I would still be suffering from the attacks. Now I know that if they do return I can deal with them in a calm manner.Stephanie, Leeds

Happy New Year! With the ushering in of 2012, we at MoleSafe decided that now was a great time to remind everyone of safe sun practices. After all, the start of a new year means new resolutions, and what better resolution is there then promising to protect your skin? Preventing skin cancer and melanoma is the first step, and while skin cancer is not 100 percent preventable, there are a lot of things that you can do to help your odds.
The Melanoma Research Foundation reminds us that, "Approximately 65 percent of melanomas—the most deadly form of skin cancer and one of the fastest growing cancers in the United States—are attributed to ultraviolet (UV) exposure from sunlight or artificial sources such as tanning beds". They go on to say that although melanoma can develop on areas of the body not exposed to the sun, your best bet is to slather on the sunscreen. This applies to even the cloudiest of days. Specifically they ask that we:
- Be sure to use a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays and has a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. Look for ingredients in your sunscreen such as titanium dioxide and mexoryl, which block UVA rays better.
- Use enough sunscreen. To protect your entire body, use approximately an ounce of sunscreen (about a full shot glass) and apply it at least 20 minutes before sun exposure.
- Re-apply sunscreen every two hours and after swimming or sweating, even if the bottle says it's waterproof or long lasting.
- Remember, wearing sunscreen is not a blank check for spending unlimited time in the sun. Sunscreen is just one component of sun safety.
We are also reminded to limit our sun exposure during the midday sun. At this time of day, the sun is at its strongest and is most harmful to us. The specific hours for this time are between 10am and 4pm. If you are planning on spending a long amount of time outdoors during these hours, check out a UV Index to see how at risk you are.

MANSFIELD - Fourteen Mansfield University students led by two professors traveled to Belize, a small Central American country about the size of Massachusetts with a population of just more than 300,000, earlier this summer.
Jeffrey Bosworth and Jonathan C. Rothermel of the History and Political Science Department had been planning the short-term, study abroad trip for more than a year. The course, PSC 4455: field research in Belize, ran during the first summer session, but the highlight of the course was a two-week, in-country field research component.
Area students who participated were Jason White and Barbara Campbell, of Troy and Colleen Dempsey, of Mansfield.
"Belize represents an excellent opportunity for students to see the problems that face a developing country, particularly with regard to globalization and environmental protection and it has the added benefit of being English-speaking and a multi-ethnic democracy," Bosworth said.
Each student selected a research question prior to arriving in Belize and focused their field research on gathering information about their topic and developing their theses.
Students met with a wide range of people including the Speaker of the House for the National Assembly, an American expatriate citrus farmer, local entrepreneurs, government officials from the Ministry of Tourism, a former Senator and appointed member of the Elections and Boundaries Commission, a managing director of a wildlife sanctuary, Mayan tour guides, Mennonite chicken and dairy farmers, professors from the University of Belize and representatives from the US Embassy, just to name a few.
While in Belize, students visited historical Mayan sites, including Altun Ha and Xunantunich. They also ventured deep into the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave, at times submersed into water up to their shoulders, to see Mayan pottery vessels and human remains believed to have been sacrificed, including the mostly intact skeletal remains of a woman (who many now believe to be a man) for whom the cave is named after. While most of the trip was spent in the interior of the country, mainly San Ignacio, students traveled to one of Belize's beautiful tropical cayes for the final leg of the trip.
"Most people we met in Belize assumed we were archaeologists or biologists, and they seemed surprised - if not slightly amused - when we told them we were political scientists," Rothermel said. "Belizeans were very forthright about sharing their political views and their concern for the future of their country was evident in conversations that we had with them."
For most of the students, it was their first time out of the country. Many were struck by the obvious poverty in parts of Belize.
"I appreciate what I have here in the states so much more based on how happy the people of Belize are with so little, "Poliitical Science major Ariel Faber said.
Geology major Anthony Magistro appreciated the simplicity of the Belizean lifestyle, which emphasizes a "go slow" attitude.
"Belize changed my perspective on what amenities I would be comfortable living without," he said. "I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I found it to go about my day without something as seemingly basic as cell phone service."
The friendliness and hospitality of the Belizeans quickly won the students over. Kelsy Woodman, a history and political science major, loved the connections she made with the locals during the trip.
"Being able to study in a developing country, eating local food, and talking to locals was one of the greatest experiences I've had in my life," Woodman said.
"I believe that studying abroad in Belize was a life-changing experience, helping me to discover a part of myself and learn so much more about the world I live in," communication major Jalise Clark said.
To see pictures and information on the group's trip, visit their Facebook page at facebook. com/MUBelize2014.
Bosworth and Rothermel already are making plans to run the course again next summer.

The iPhone is the device that makes or breaks Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) , plain and simple.
And with the newest line of iPhones having been on the market for several days now, it's abundantly clear that Apple has yet another winner on its hands. Apple announced that it smashed its previous records for debut-weekend iPhone sales with its new two-tiered smartphone lineup -- though Apple was playing a with a bit of a loaded deck.
And as is customary in tech cirlces in the wake of every iPhone release, analysts tear apart the newest devices to try to figure out just how much they cost Apple to make and assemble. The reason is twofold. First, it helps investors understand just how much money Apple makes off the sale of each iPhone, the all-important gross margin. It also helps analysts identify which companies landed their wares in these high-demand devices.
In the video below, Fool contributor Andrew Tonner looks at the recent margin analysis for Apple's new line of smartphones.

New Hope Borough in Bucks County is a popular destination for many tourists including bikers.
But some business owners, residents and tourists are fed up with the level of noise coming from the motorcycles.
That's why the Chamber of Commerce is asking bikers to "Rev it Down."
The chamber hopes signs will get the message out.
"We appreciate their business. We think motorcyclists are an attraction for tourists," said Connie Gearing, Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce.
And police are helping to keep the noise level down.
New Hope's Police chief says cops are on the lookout for bikers who ride in low gear at high revolutions.
"They come here, they spend money. We recognize that but they don't own the town when they come here," said Police Chief Michael Cummings.
John Hamilton of Philadelphia has been a biker for more than 25 years and he says loud pipes save lives.
"I'm riding 27 years. I've lost friends and lots of friends are crippled and the first thing the driver says is, 'I didn't see you, I didn't hear you.' So it's not to be obnoxious-- it's to let you know I'm coming," Hamilton said.

With the lockout separating NFL players from team trainers and strength and conditioning coaches, players have had to seek alternate arrangements to stay in shape and rehab from injuries.
One of the most popular local venues for athletic training and rehab has stepped in to fill the void. St. Vincent's Sports Performance is working with several members of the Colts to help prepare them for the 2011 season.
Our video crew met with director Ralph Reiff who shared with us just how St. Vincent's Sports Performance is helping out. This is a fascinating video with filled with great insights into how players are dealing with the complications of the lockout. Mr. Reiff shares excellent insights into how St. Vincent's Sports Performance is helping players get fit and get and stay healthy in the offseason.
My thanks to Mr. Reiff as well as to Nate Manhanan and Chad Braham for their excellent work.

The air is crisp and at least partially clean, the sunshine feels pleasant as it chases away the fall chill, Mother Nature is painting the leaves remarkably beautiful colors, especially pleasing to see.
All the changing weather patterns are so enjoyable, it can be such a refreshing time of year. But wait!
There's more! It's also about that time of year again when the witches, spiders, warlocks, ghosts, goblins, and killer pumpkins emerge. But wait! There's more! Also emerging are all the sneaky liars, skuzbags, self-serving corrupt career politicians.
Narcissism and greed are rampant. Once again, our so called leaders emerge from their slimy dens of darkness where creepy crawlers are oozing out from under their rocks to scare hell out of people, most of which are of voting age and they know what's in store for them.
Here's a thought: If you ever have the need to question what some people think of you, run for political office. The lies soon magnify themselves about you, as a candidate, with crap that's unbelievable. This is such a humongous crock of political picayune BS. Not once have I ever heard of a career politician suing another politician for defamation of character. Perhaps that's because they're lacking character, morals or a conscience. Perhaps what their opponents say is true. Politicians continue to manipulate situations to their advantage, knowing it's wrong, and cry the blues and apologize to the voters. (Only if they get caught.) They pull this crap and smirk in the voter's faces.
How about a half-million dollar "vacation" to the other side of the world? How about Air Force One traveling coast to coast campaigning for some political crony wanna-be who we've never heard of? A thousand-dollar-a-plate fundraiser for another wanna-be to supposedly help the candidate get elected. Bet the troops in Afghanistan would love to attend that one.
Taxpayers' expense, is that a new term? Guess who's laughing at the very fools who voted for them. Perhaps we should let Bernie Madoff out of jail and let him run the country. When he ran a ponzi scheme, the feds declared it illegal. What do you call the ponzi scheme the U.S. is running – legal? Did you do anything to create this $16 trillion (that's 14 spaces) deficit? I didn't. So why do they freeze my Social Security income for two years and then have the "you know what" to tell us we will have to limit your cost of living (COLA)? Can you guess who will bankrupt Social Security? I'm sure they sadistically enjoyed taking out the max Social Security deductions when I was working.
Now some good news. Not to worry voters, each election time gas prices decline and unemployment decreases because thousands and thousands are back to work. Back to work where? I suspect on paper.
The national debt has decreased by 39 cents, the stock market is up 13⁄4 points. Wow! How do they do that? This stuff sounds like a candidate for the lining at the bottom of my canary cage. Some closing thoughts I've heard by many:
(1) Do away with lobbyists.
(2) Install a button directly in the middle of all career politicians foreheads so that when it's pushed they will have to tell the truth.
(3) Eliminate the "D's" and "R's" and make everyone "I's."
(4) Presidential elections should be decided by popular vote the same as everyone else.
(5) Do I like politicians? Yes, I do. The honest ones. You know who you are.
I consider my beloved father a wise man and a great life's teacher. He told me "A person is measured by the worth of their word."
Somehow I hope a copy of this finds its way to William Jefferson Clinton (now who could lie with a name like that?) and the "Teflon Tongued Big O."
Thanks for reading my opinions. Last I heard we still had a right to express our opinions. Hope they're never on the "kill" list with other basic disappearing American freedoms.
So far we're still entitled to that.
My name is Frank green and I approve this message. "Stay Tuned"

Connect With Your Inner Goddess
Goddesses are powerful. They are wise, generous, compassionate, and strong. They are mothers. They are warriors. Our Hood River Lodging invites women to reconnect with their inner goddess during our Goddess Within Workshop Series.
The first of the series takes place on Saturday, March 19, 2011. Celebrate the Spring Equinox and harness the regenerative power of spring through yoga and meditation. Connect with your inner goddess through guided exercises and writing sessions. Strengthen your core and connect with your heart.
We'll study gods and goddesses traditionally associated with spring, and share our own thoughts and stories of balance and rebirth. Writing exercises will help us give voice to inner desires and guide our personal journeys.
Rhea Wolf and Latisha Heilman will lead the workshop at our Columbia River Gorge Cabins. Rhea has more than 13 years experience leading women in workshops. She helps women find their own power through myth, symbols, and stories. Latisha Heilman studied in India and Thailand and has been teaching Yoga, Reiki, and Thai Massage for 9 years. She helps her students find balance and harmony physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
Attend the Goddess Within Workshop with a good friend or two, and stay the weekend at our luxury cabins overlooking the Columbia Gorge. Take that time to continue your exploration of the self – something that is always easier to do when you step away from your normal routine. Overnight guests receive a 10% discount on the workshop.
Participants may attend the workshop only from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ($50), or the workshop with yoga 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ($75). Our Carson WA Cabins are a short drive from Portland, making this an easy day retreat for women who prefer not to spend the night. For additional information or to reserve your spot, please see our Hood River Lodging or call 877-816-7908. The registration deadline is March 12, 2011.

Living standards for millions of low and middle-income households in Britain will be no higher by 2020 than they were at the turn of the century, according to a new report.
The Commission on Living Standards has warned that the benefits of a period of growth could bypass millions, and that a typical low-income household in 2020 is set to have an income 15 per cent lower than in 2008. An average middle-income household is set to have an income that is 3 per cent lower.

The new Backpackers comedy revolves around a couple of friends who are on a search — not unlike how The CW is searching for ratings these days. Will either be successful? Will Backpackers be cancelled or will it be renewed for a second season instead? Stay tuned!
Backpackers follows Brandon (Dillon Casey) and Ryan (Noah Reid) as they travel through Europe looking for Ryan's girlfriend girlfriend Beth (Meghan Heffern). Giacomo Gianniotti plays Andrew, Brandon's slacker brother.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

7/22 update: The CW pas pulled Backpackers and Seed after two weeks.
7/22 update: You can see the latest night's ratings in context.
Note: If you're not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an "*"). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like Backpackers TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a second season?

DETROIT, MI - Two months before Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic march on the Washington Mall in the nation's capitol, he was marching down Woodward Avenue before debuting his now-famous "I Have A Dream" speech at Cobo Arena.
(Related: Won't forget the Dream: Thousands march in Detroit on 50th anniversary of historic MLK Jr. Freedom March)
Both events first took place in the summer of 1963, as the Civil Rights movement began to gain momentum in the United States.
Fifty years later, thousands marched down Woodward Avenue in Detroit last June to mark the occasion, led by civil rights leaders who today are carry on the legacy of King. Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson and Martin Luther King III all participated.
The 2-mile march was led by the Martin Luther King Jr. High School marching band, concluded at Hart Plaza. Numerous Detroit officials were in attendance, including Detroit Police Chief Chester Logan, who attended the original march a half-century ago.
And today, thousands are gathered again at the Washington Mall to mark the 50th anniversary of Dr. King's historic speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, when he solidified the Civil Rights movement's struggle and momentum in front of a national audience.
Several news outlets have a live feed of the day's event.

Environmentalists, politicians, and scholars express concern about a "race to the bottom" in environmental policy. Yet economic theory indicates that a race to the bottom in environmental policy is highly unlikely, and there is little evidence that such races have, in fact, occurred.

A big guy with a black polo shirt smiled broadly: "We sell dirt."
Dirt isn't exactly the gourmet food one expects to find at this three-day culinary festival. Yet, by 11 a.m., event attendees -- who shelled out $30 for a full day of tasting and celebrity shows -- were stacked several deep at Todd's Dirt Seasonings Company.
"They are the greatest seasonings ever created by man," said Todd "The Dirt Man" Courtney. Then he added with his showman's shrug, "This man at least."
Courtney, who was the big guy in the polo shirt, gamely passed out small bites of well-flavored chicken as he explained that the company started five years ago after he realized that he wasn't happy with his life. Since then, the company is doing quite well, he said, with spices manufactured in Cleveland and sold at Whole Foods and Dave's Supermarkets.
Such success stories -- many with local connections -- were easy to stumble across while exploring the booths on Sunday. An estimated 30,000 people attend the food show each year to discover their own culinary treasures.
Tim Jones from Cambridge said this was his second year to attend with his wife Karen because, well, "I like to eat. We both like cooking."
They weren't the only ones.
When Aussie chief chef Jason Roberts and Cleveland's own celebrity chef Michael Symon took the stage Sunday morning, 2,200 attendees had already crowded into the stands. Symon was set to talk about pork.
Roberts, who works with Symon on ABC's The Chew, gave a sideline interview during Symon's show and was quick to say that Cleveland would be the first place he would want to open a restaurant because people here understand passion for food.
"We didn't cook to become celebrities," Roberts said. "We cook because we love food."
By noon, as the Roberts and Symon event wound down, attendees lined up for bits of orange sauce spread on bread -- a new packaged version of the pasta sauce that can be found at Sainato's Restaurant in The Flats neighborhood of Cleveland. Tony Sainato said his sauces were now on sale at Giant Eagle and, he added with some excitement, that a national distributor he met at the show had really liked his sauces.
Being discovered didn't appear to be a concern at all for Janet Yurcik at The Cute Little Cake Shop booth.
As she handed out tiny bits of moist and rich chocolate cake balls, Yurcik described how the Strongsville business grew so quickly after opening last year that she had to quit her job as a flight attendant.
The bakery, which opened in December 2011, has 200 different flavors of cake balls and pops, which sell for $2 a piece. Yurcik's mother Marcia Rehak started making the treats as a hobby -- one of her first was the "classic chocolate" which is chocolate cake mixed with chocolate icing and dipped in chocolate. Today, it's a best seller.
"It's crazy," Yurcik said.

The Good and the Bad
In an initiative to provide free and compulsory education to everyone, under the Right to Education Act, the government passed a bill making it compulsory for private schools reserve 25 % of the total seats for underprivileged sections of the society. As supposed, this decision was challenged by the private schools in the Supreme Court of India, whose decision came on the 13th April, 2012. Considering the arguments of both the pro and con parties the Supreme Court decided that the decision was in favor of the nation and hence making it a mandate for private schools all round the nation to give 25% of its seats to the underprivileged.
India being a multi-lingual, multi- colored and multi-layered society, naturally, had mixed responses over the decision. The debate had more or less the same arguments that the debate two decades back, when the Mandal Commission was passed had. It all came to equality and opportunity.
Here in this post we look at what is good and what is bad in this decision with an objective frame of mind.
The Good Part
This move of reserving seats will finally, to some extent, accomplish the objective of the Right to Education Act. When the well-off people of the society have shed- off the Government run schools, creating a gap between govt. school and private school students this move bridges the gap. There a feeling of superiority and inferiority among the students due to this culture of schooling. Now when the children of different classes, right from the beginning, would sit together, play together and eat together they would understand that there is no gap between rich and poor. Here the underprivileged students would get to compete with the resourceful students to get ready for the competitive life ahead. Moreover, getting the same facilities they all would grow building better Indians.
The Bad Part
This is completely true that the govt. run schools have failed badly in providing the kind of education they needed to. And in this circumstance instead of mending their mistakes they are putting it on the private schools. In the first look it seems that this decision would bridge the gap between rich and poor but in the reality it would actually widen it. Under this scheme the State Govt. would provide the money required to teach students of the reserved quota. This money would be equivalent to the fee of each child in a school or the per student expenditure of the state government, whichever is less. Now the schools which charge heavily will certainly get lesser subsidy from the Govt. and this loss of the school would have to be borne by the well-off students. This would mean that one would study for many and one for a penny. This would act as the basis of discrimination and humiliation.
Another aspect is that the reserved category students would not be able to bear cost of overhead expenses such as uniforms or books and copies.

Director Independence and Insider Trading

We provide evidence that outside directors' trading and ratification decisions are incrementally useful in assessing their independence. Because crises test the independence of boards, we first investigate the CEO replacement decision in firms caught intentionally misreporting earnings. We predict and find that outside directors' selling that emulates selling by the CEO and inside directors makes them appear aligned and thus less willing to replace the CEO. Our findings derive from opportunistic rather than routine selling, and from collusive selling involving inside and outside board members rather than from selling by outside directors alone. We also predict and find that outside directors who ratify one or more value-destroying mergers in the misreporting period are less willing to replace the CEO. We further test the usefulness of our proxies for board independence on the Execucomp universe and find that firms whose boards exhibit collusive trading and ratify value-destroying mergers overpay their CEOs and are less likely to force CEO turnover.

Spanish Feminists Say %$&#* to Best-Seller 'Get Married and Be Submissive'
Posted on Dec 16, 2013
A new book by female Italian writer and television journalist Costanza Miriano has rocketed up Spain's best-seller lists by advising newlywed women to revert to "traditional" roles of submission and housekeeping—sparking street protests, objections from feminists and progressives, and a demand that the book be recalled.
But the Catholic archbishop of Granada, Francisco Javier Martinez, who published the book, dismissed the critics as "ridiculous and hypocritical," suggesting the book isn't going away. And demands that it do so raise "throwback" issues of their own. From The Daily Beast:
Miriano's book has picked up support from Catholic traditionalists in the increasingly secularized country, and the reaction to it can be read as a barometer of Spanish society, with modernists dismissing it and conservatives embracing it.
At times, it almost reads like a satire, with such advice as: "It's true, you're not yet an experienced cook or a perfect housewife. What's the problem if he tells you so? Tell him that he is right, that it's true, that you will learn. On seeing your sweetness and your humility, your effort to change, this will also change him." And: Women "like humiliation because it is for a greater good."
Some Spanish government officials have asked for investigations into whether some of the contents might violate unspecified Spanish laws, and Anonymous posted a video of a Guy Fawkes-masked woman denouncing the book, according to the British Telegraph:

A married man called police to report that an unknown woman named Tammy got a hold of his phone number and had been calling him.
He said the first time she called she told him she got his phone number when he was up on Rivers Avenue. She said she just wanted someone to talk to. He hung the phone up on her because he could not understand her.
She called a second time, and this time he said she sounded sober. She told him she lived in Summerville and that her name was Tammy. She described herself to him (in detail). It turns out she also knew this victim's first and last name.
He gave the officer the woman's phone number and said he never goes to Rivers Avenue. He added that he is married and does not know why the suspect is calling him. He told the officer that he did not want the woman to call again. He also said he did not want a police officer coming to his home unless it happens again. He said he just wanted to file a report over the phone so that it can be recorded that he called.
