"Everyone underneath it all has a sense of humor. Everyone is waiting to be amused, to laugh, to smile." - Syd Hoff
In the heart of Newport Beach, California, there is a shopping center called Fashion Island. It is the home of such upscale franchises as Anthropologie, Kate Spade, and Juicy Couture. My college cronies and I snarkily referred to this playground of wealthy Republicans as "Fascist Island."
Fashion Island's faux Roman fora and basilicae are populated for the most part by young women who look as if they just walked off the set of The O.C. (Season 10), and salt-and-pepper-haired men in business suits on their way back from a power lunch at Fig & Olive. You would be hard pressed to find a more accurate epicenter of haut bourgeois culture in Orange County.
About a hundred yards from this spectacle is the Newport Beach Public Library, which recently hosted a retrospective of the work of Syd Hoff (1912-2004), gag cartoonist, illustrator, and children's author. Hoff's instantly recognizable style featuring clean line drawing was a major contribution to the mid-century graphic vernacular. He was incredibly wide-ranging in his talents and interests. He drew cartoons for major magazines ranging from the New Yorker (the editor dubbed him the magazine's "Bronx correspondent"), Colliers, The Saturday Evening Post and Playboy. He wrote and drew many children's books, including the 1958 classic "Danny and the Dinosaur." He even wrote stories for Alfred Hitchcock, Mike Shayne, and Ellery Queen mystery magazines. But an almost unknown dimension of his amazing career, discovered by his heirs only after his death in 2004, was Hoff's work for left-wing periodicals in the '30s.
Detailed unabashedly in the exhibition notes, Hoff drew cartoons for Communist publications including the Daily Worker and the New Masses as "A. Redfield." Redfield's forte was one-panel gags skewering the one percent. One cartoon shows one upper crust lady dismissing a soapbox orator, saying, "I believe in free speech...with exceptions."
Another has a cop taunting a jailed activist: "So, you believe in the constitution?"
Hoff's work as Redfield launched in the Daily Worker's publication "The Ruling Clawss" a collection of gags (unfortunately more relevant than ever) about the growing wealth gap between the ultra-rich and everyone else.
Growing up in a working-class Jewish neighborhood in the Bronx, Hoff identified with the underdog, and developed a sense of humor emblematic of the generation that created Vaudeville, became Catskills comics, and pioneered comedy in early television. Hoff straddled the gap between high and lowbrow culture; he studied art with abstract Expressionist Lee Krasner at the National Academy of Design and illustrated for playwright Arthur Kober, but he also drew for humorist Allen "Hello Mudduh" Sherman and created the kids' comic book "Tuffy."
Hoff tackled other political topics in addition to wealth inequality. He addressed racism in cartoons for the Anti-Defamation League and promoted the Bretton-Woods Agreement in 1945. As the exhibition puts it, Hoff was always "passionate about social injustice, class discrimination and plight of the underdog..."
Why was Syd Hoff welcome in Newport Beach, in the O.C. neighborhood of John Wayne Airport and Richard Nixon's birthplace? Because "the Ruling Clawss" always wants the best of culture for itself, even the cartoons making fun of it.

So I put in an initial bid of $42.00 for Facebook stock on Friday before it opened. Seeing that it was not going to sell for that much, I actually canceled my order within a few minutes. The Scottrade website provided the regular disclaimer that the cancellation of the order would be dependent on its position in relation to other orders. No Facebook stock was credited to my account on Friday. I get an email message from Scottrade today that my order was fulfilled at $42.00/share and those shares would be credited to my account in the next day or so (As everyone know after it has dropped 30% and I would have sold it back on Friday if I knew). Is anyone else having the same problem with Scottrade or any other brokerages?
You are so lucky,it will go to $75 tomorrow. HAHAHA
yes scottrade got shares @ 42 1350, placed order before bell. didnt know(flying blind)
I can't believe how many retail traders were bagged in this thing. who buys on opening day but suckers
Obama got the 30 percent. Sorry sucker!
did anyone recieve messages that your trade didn't go through? I was told last thursday mine didn't and they let me withdraw money.
You paid to much for it and lost, and now you want to blame scottrade for it..
you put the buy order in...
next time do it right ....
Being with Fidelity 15 years I was waiting for the IPO. Of course they Didn't let me in so I put orders in and since the stock opened and was Droping I Canceled them. When it hit 31 I sold lost alot. Bought some shares on the way Back up. They came in and said they fixed the problem. Took the Shares I just Bought to cover the ones I Didn't Have that were in my account. So Overall I lost all my Shares and I am in the Hole...Now I Have to start over....
They said my order would go through but still hasn't. Surely it is cancelled after a week...right???
I had no problem with my FB order at Scottrade on Firday, a limit order at $38.50.
Yes, one of my co workers put in a limit order with Scottrade at 42.00, and received an e mail, just like you did. I also put in a limit order before the market opened and yep, you guessed it, my shares were purchased at 42.00. Why not 38.00, 39.00 40.00?? Scottrade selling shares at 42.00.. Did anyone get them for less threw Scottrade??
Yes. Mine were at 40.19. Not too happy with Scottrade and thinking about moving....any recommendations?
I placed two orders and canceled them with Fidelity. Fortunately they didn't get filled. This is from Fidelity to all customers. They are trying to accommodate. Hope they will work it out: GL!
Special Notice to Customers Submitting Orders for Facebook Stock on Friday, May 18, 2012
Because of acknowledged problems at NASDAQ, some customers who placed orders for Facebook (FB) stock on Friday, May 18, 2012 may have experienced delays in status updates. This is an industry-wide issue that affected many different broker-dealers and other market participants. We realize that some customers still have questions about how these delays may have affected their trading activity. We understand that NASDAQ is working with federal regulators to determine what, if any, accommodation might be made. However, customers should assume that any shares of Facebook stock currently credited to their accounts are owned by them and available for trading. We will continue to work with the industry to get NASDAQ to come to a resolution that addresses the concerns of our customers.
Doesn't Scottrade have only until the end of business today to settle all Facebook trades from Friday?
Does anyone know the answer to previous question?
How come every "little guy" I know who put in an order got executed at $42, even though the stock was trading below $38 by the time the buy happened!?!?!

Relive the final Group A games in the Royal London One-Day Cup as Derbyshire Falcons won to take the last quarter-final place while Essex Eagles, Lancashire Lightning and Yorkshire Vikings also triumphed.
By Matt Somerford & Rob Barnett
9.35pm – What a day that's been, particularly for Derbyshire who have reached their first knockout stage since 2005. Here's a reminder of the quarter-final line-up and the results:
Notts Outlaws v Derbyshire Falcons, Tuesday 26 August, 2pm start
Yorkshire Vikings v Durham, Thursday 28 August, 10.30am start
Essex Eagles v Warwickshire, Thursday 28 August, 2pm start
Kent Spitfires v Gloucestershire, Friday 29 August, 2pm start
Derbyshire Falcons claimed the last quarter-final spot, beating Gloucestershire by 53 runs at the 3aaa County Ground thanks largely to 96 from Billy Godleman.
Yorkshire Vikings finished top of the table after easing past Hampshire by six wickets at the Ageas Bowl as Adil Rashind's 5-33 trumped Jimmy Adams' 91 not out.
Essex Eagles secured second place by chasing 312 to beat Northants Steelbacks at Wantage Road. David Willey blasted 113 for the hosts but Mark Pettini set up a win, which ultimately came with three balls and four wickets to spare, with 88.
Lancashire Lightning thrashed Leicestershire by eight wickets, comfortably overhauling 184 thanks to fifties from openers Tom Smith and Luis Reece.
9.22pm – RESULT! Essex Eagles (315/6) defeat Northants Steelbacks (311ao) by four wickets at Wantage Road. Essex, already assured of second in Group A, get the five runs they need from the last over with three balls to spare to see off Northants, whose players must have known before the end that their quest for the last eight was in vain.
WICKET - Foster attempts a scoop shot and loses his middle stump to an Azhar Ullah yorker. Essex are 291/6 needing 21 from 22 balls
— Northants Cricket (@NorthantsCCC) August 21, 2014
8.55pm – We now know the quarter-final line-up, which is listed below. The games will be played on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday next week with the schedule to be confirmed.
Notts Outlaws v Derbyshire Falcons
Yorkshire Vikings v Durham
Essex Eagles v Warwickshire
Kent Spitfires v Gloucestershire
8.47pm – RESULT! Derbyshire Falcons (271/7) beat Gloucestershire (218ao) by 53 runs at the 3aaa County Ground. Derbyshire reach the quarter-finals as Tony Palladino comprehensively bowls Craig Miles while Klinger, as mentioned before, is unable to bat.
Essex lose Kishen Vilani for 27 and Bopara for 61, bowled by Willey and Andrew Hall respectively, and need 42 runs in just more than five overs with five wickets in hand.
Wicket! Jack Taylor Caught Alex Hughes Bowled Tony Palladino 53. Glos 208 - 8 (37.5 overs) need 64 runs to win from 12.1 overs
— Gloucestershire CCC (@Gloscricket) August 21, 2014
8.24pm – After David Willey bowls Jaik Mickleburgh, Bopara brings up a half-century to keep Essex in with a shout of beating Northants.
Alex Gidman goes lbw to Wainwright for 47, leaving Gloucestershire 174 for seven in the 35th over.
7.58pm – Gloucestershire lose three wickets in five overs as Derbyshire take control at 136 for six in the 27th. Dent, bowled by David Wainwright for 70, Will Gidman and Benny Howell are the men to go. The worse news for the visitors is captain Michael Klinger, who retired hurt towards the start of the innings, will not bat again.
Pettini falls for 88 to Graeme White, halting an alliance worth 106 with Ravi Bopara who now surely is Essex's best hope of victory. They need 112 more in just more than 17 overs.
Vital wicket for @DerbyshireCCC @davidwainwrigh7 removing Chris Dent for 70. Leicestershire have lost. It's on boys! pic.twitter.com/i9YbuZaB9h
— Ed Dawes (@Ed_DawesBeeb) August 21, 2014
7.41pm – RESULT! Lancashire Lightning (185/2) defeat Leicestershire Foxes (184) by eight wickets at Emirates Old Trafford. Karl Brown is unbeaten on 49 from 53 balls as the hosts romp to victory with 20 overs unused. Leicestershire's current fourth place in Group A looks precarious and Lancashire avoid the ignominy of coming bottom of the table. Hampshire take the wooden spoon.
Change of bat for Ravi Bopara who scored 15 with his previous one. Mark Pettini 53 and the Eagles 140 for 1 in 25th over. #NorvEss
— Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) August 21, 2014
7.23pm – RESULT! Yorkshire Vikings (173/4) beat Hampshire (172) by six wickets at the Ageas Bowl. Bairstow is unbeaten on 45 as Yorkshire ease to victory with plenty of time to spare. The Vikings go clear at the top of Group A and it looks like their net run-rate will keep them there.
7.14pm – Luis Reece goes to a fifty before falling to Jigar Naik as Lancashire ease towards Leicestershire's 184.
Lees departs for 61, undone by Tomlinson, having added 78 with Bairstow.
Footitt has Ian Cockbain caught behind for 13, putting Derbyshire on top of Gloucestershire.
7.01pm – Westley falls lbw to Matt Spriegel for 62, ending a 94-run stand with Pettini. Essex are 94 for one in the 16th over but have plenty to do to chase 312.
Chris Dent raises a fifty with his second six of the innings to boost Gloucestershire.
Yorkshire are closing in on victory having recovered from Barber's double strike.
50 for Alex Lees. Another fine innings from @aleesy14. Yorkshire 124 for 3. 49 more to win.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) August 21, 2014
6.46pm – Tom Smith eases to a fifty from 45 balls but soon holes out to long-on for 54 off James Sykes, leaving Lancashire 97 for one in the 15th over and well on course to chase 185.
Wes Durston holds a stunning catch, diving to his left at second slip, to give Mark Footitt the scalp of Gareth Roderick and make Gloucestershire 46 for two in the ninth over.
Tom Westley races to 50 from 31 balls with 8x4 and 1x6. Mark Petitni 19. Eagles are 73-0 after their 1st 10 poweprlay overs. #NorvEss
— Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) August 21, 2014
6.29pm – Ben Cotton traps Hamish Marshall plumb in front for nought, giving Derbyshire an early boost.
Tom Westley and Mark Pettini are going well for Essex, who reach 50 for no wicket from eight overs.
SIX! Tom Smith pulls Shreck over mid wicket for a maximum, square drives for 4 and follows with another pulled 4! @LancsCCC 50-0 (90ov)
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) August 21, 2014
RETIRED HURT: Klinger is forced to retire hurt after a sharp bouncer from Footitt hit him on the fore-arm; 3-0 (2.3) #DERvGLO
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) August 21, 2014
6.20pm - We're back underway in all four games and there is almost a hat-trick!
Hampshire's Tom Barber has Williamson and Andrew Gale caught behind from consecutive balls but Jonny Bairstow survives the next. Yorkshire are 81 for three in the 13th over.
5.35pm – The players quickly return at Derby and the hosts post 271 for seven despite losing Elstone, bowled by David Payne for 37 in the last over.
The interval also arrives at the Ageas Bowl where Yorkshire are 79 for one from 13 overs, chasing 173 for victory, with Alex Lees on 25 and Kane Williamson 31.
It's also the break at Emirates Old Trafford with Lancashire 33 for none from seven overs in reply to Leicestershire's 184.
CHANCE | Redfern puts down a sharp chance off Shreck as Smith hits to backward point
— Leicestershire CCC (@leicsccc) August 21, 2014
5.17pm – Tom Westley strikes three times in an over to dismiss Northants for 311 with 18 balls unused. That gives Westley figures of 4-60 from 10 overs.
Rain forces the players off at the 3aaa County Ground with Derbyshire 252 for six with nine deliveries to go, Scott Elstone on 31 and Tony Palladino 22 from 11 balls. That could be the end of their innings.
Successive boundaries off Basil Akram for Williamson. He's raced to 20 and Yorkshire are 53 for 1 in the 10th.173 to win.
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) August 21, 2014
5.06pm – Northants lose Ben Duckett for 22 and Matt Spriegel while Gareth Cross departs for Derbyshire as both sides seek quick runs in the closing overs.
James Tomlinson ousts Adam Lyth for 21, tempering Yorkshire's swift start.
Wicket! @leicsccc 184 all out as Sykes edges Tom Smith to Davies. #LanvLeic
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) August 21, 2014
4.49pm - Willey goes to a century from 84 balls. A stunning innings from the Northants all-rounder that has helped the Steelbacks to 273 for five in the 41st over. They are doing everything they can to try and force a way into the quarter-finals places.
4.44pm - Godleman falls four runs short of a century. He doesn't look best pleased to see the umpire raise his finger after he swished at a ball from Will Gidman that drifted down the leg side. Roderick, standing up again, was straight up and the appeal was enough to convince the man in the middle.
4.32pm - Jigar Naik and Anthony Ireland are both bowled in quick succession. Leicestershire are 169 for eight and with Derbyshire and Northants going so well they are looking vulnerable to lose fourth place.
OUT. Rashid has five wickets! Hampshire all out for 172 with Adams unbeaten on 91. Tomlinson the last to go for 0. Rashid 5/33
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) August 21, 2014
4.20pm - Madsen reaches another half-century from 61 balls only to then fall to a clever catch from wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick standing up to the stumps off David Payne for 57. The ball bobbled out of his gloves for a moment, but Roderick easily scooped up the ball with one hand.
WICKET | Styris caught at backward point off Bailey. So often the powerplay hinders the batting side. 150-6
— Leicestershire CCC (@leicsccc) August 21, 2014
4.11pm - A couple of century stands have been registered. Levi and Willey have taken their partnership into three figures with Willey having just overtaken his partner while at Derby, Godleman and Madsen are giving the hosts control.
Bates (19) & Briggs (1) have fallen in quick succession. Akram is the new batsman on his debut. Hampshire are 167-7 after 35 overs. #RLODC
— Hampshire Cricket (@hantscricket) August 21, 2014
3.55pm - Leicestershire are just struggling a little as Ned Eckersley and Shiv Thakor fall in quick succession to leave them 128 for five after 30 overs. That is opening the door for Derbyshire.
Northants are certainly not out of it either as David Willey brings up a half-century from 46 balls to power the Steelbacks on to 182 for three after 29 overs.
UPDATE: These two gradually building an important partnership; Derbyshire 121-2 (28); Godleman 61*, Madsen 22* #DERvGLO
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) August 21, 2014
3.28pm - Billy Godleman reaches a fifty at the 3aaa County Ground from 70 balls. Derbyshire are 102 for two from 23 overs.
The Falcons will be happy to hear also that Leicestershire have lost another wicket and it is Josh Cobb for 58. Steven Croft strikes with his second ball for Lancashire.
Hampshire are 122 for five against Yorkshire with Matt Coles falling to Steven Patterson. The Vikings are placing themselves well for a home quarter-final.
3.13pm - Adam Rossington has been run out for seven and the Steelbacks have just lost their way after that century opening stand.
Fifty for Jimmy Adams! Excellent knock. Hampshire are now 104-4 after 20 overs. #RLODC pic.twitter.com/M7Ca7m20Rt
— Hampshire Cricket (@hantscricket) August 21, 2014
3.05pm - Greg Smith is caught on the midwicket rope off Tom Smith and Leicestershire are 69 for two after 15 overs.
Wicket. North is run out for 20 and Derbyshire are 73-2 (14.3) #DERvGLO
— Derbyshire CCC (@DerbyshireCCC) August 21, 2014
2.55pm - I spoke too soon. Keogh is bowled by Reece Topley the ball after reaching his fifty and then new man Kyle Coetzer is caught driving at David Masters for a duck.
2.50pm - Northants are purring along at Wantage Road. Openers Rob Keogh and Richard Levi have brought up a 100-run stand in the 14th over. Keogh's fifty comes from 38 balls while Levi, unusually dwarfed by his partner, gets there from 44 deliveries.
Hampshire's problems have deepened at the Ageas Bowl though as they slump to 76 for four with Joe Gatting trapped lbw by Adil Rashid.
2.34pm - Niall O'Brien departs for the Foxes for 11 as Kabir Ali grabs the first wicket of the day at Emirates Old Trafford.
@leicsccc 40-0 after 8 overs, Cobb 28 O'Brien 11 getting the visitors off to a good start #LanvLeic
— Lancashire CCC (@LancsCCC) August 21, 2014
2.28pm - A third catch in three for Bairstow. Jack Brooks finds Liam Dawson's edge and Hampshire are 31 for three.
2.18pm - Derbyshire lose key man Wes Durston early. The opener aims a lavish drive at Craig Miles but nicks through to the keeper for 14.
OUT - Terry gone for 0! Brilliant catch by Bairstow to his right off Jack Brooks. Hampshire 5-2!
— Yorkshire CCC (@Yorkshireccc) August 21, 2014
2.03pm - Tim Bresnan strikes with the second ball of the match at the Ageas Bowl to remove Michael Carberry for a duck, caught behind by Jonny Bairstow.
View from Wantage Road today as the Eagles prepare for the One-Day Cup match v @NorthantsCCC - play starts at 2pm! pic.twitter.com/jmQBLQJBOf
— Essex Cricket (@EssexCricket) August 21, 2014
1.42pm - Leicestershire are alone in opting to bat first. Yorkshire, Gloucestershire and Essex have all elected to bowl first after winning the toss, most likely because of the rain about which could bring the Duckworth/Lewis calculations into the equation later tonight.
Foxes have won the toss and will bat first

1.30pm - Welcome to our live coverage of the final group games in the Royal London One-Day Cup. We had a thrilling finale to Group B last night and hopefully we get more of the same tonight.
There is one quarter-final place up for grabs with Leicestershire Foxes best placed to snatch that. A win for them over last-placed Lancashire Lightning will do the trick, but Derbyshire Falcons and Northants Steelbacks will be ready to swoop should any mistakes be made.
Here's today's games:
Derbyshire Falcons v Gloucestershire at the 3aaa County Ground.
Lancashire Lightning v Leicestershire Foxes at Emirates Old Trafford.
Northants Steelbacks v Essex Eagles at Wantage Road.
Hampshire v Yorkshire Vikings at the Ageas Bowl.

i blame your management for firing Joe Giradi.
I don't blame Benitez because Fredi Gonzalez should know he is a set up man. Even with that, he shouldn't of been in a close game. Plus they could have taken him as soon as you saw the situation forming.Originally Posted by FWELR

Kafka, Work Distribution, and Work Stealing
Kafka, Work Distribution, and Work Stealing
David Ross
2013-01-16, 17:51
We use Kafka to distribute batches work across several boxes. These batches
may take anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours to complete. Currently, we have N
partitions, each allocated to one of N consumer worker boxes.
We find that as the batch nears completion, with only M <
N partitions still containing work, our throughput suffers as now only M
workers are doing the work. This problem is amplified if several of our N
boxes are slower than the others, as our throughput is now tied to our
slowest box. It would be great if workers that were done with their work
could share the load.
I am wondering if anyone has dealt with this issue. It doesn't seem that
Kafka has a solution for this out of the box (though I could be wrong), but
maybe others have clever solutions, best practices, or suggestions for
other technologies to add to the mix.
I am especially curious how the Kafka philosophy applies to this situation.
Re: Kafka, Work Distribution, and Work Stealing

It looks like the consumer throughput suffers because of imbalance of data
across partitions. When you say the batch nears completion, it seems like
the number of partitions that have new data reduces leading to fewer
consumer instances processing large amount of data. Is that true ?
In Kafka, having more partitions for a topic allows you to increase the I/O
parallelism by allowing the writes for the data to go in parallel. At the
same time, it allows you to scale the consumption over a cluster of
machines, since partitions is the smallest granularity of consumer
parallelism. For your use case, what is worth looking into is a work
distribution strategy that shards data over the available Kafka partitions
somewhat evenly.

BOSTON -- Andrew Ference received the reception he deserved.
The Edmonton Oilers captain and former Bruins defenseman returned to Boston for the first time since leaving as a free agent last summer. Unfortunately for Ference, his return was overshadowed by the Bruins' 4-0 win over the Oilers on Saturday afternoon at TD Garden.
During a television timeout in the first period, the Bruins honored Ference with a video tribute. The 17,565 in attendance gave him a standing ovation and he acknowledged it with a wave of his stick. Ference spent seven seasons in Boston and helped the Bruins win the Stanley Cup in 2011.
"It was nicer than the game," Ference said of the tribute. "Obviously very well treated by the organization and the city while I was here and while I left and throughout this year too. It's obviously a tremendous hockey city and the organization has been nothing but great to me so that's very, very special."
Ference returned to game action Saturday after missing the last three games with a concussion.
Before the game he said he received medical clearance a few days ago and feels good.
After the 2012-13 season, which ended with a loss in the Stanley Cup finals to the Chicago Blackhawks, Ference knew he would not re-sign with Boston, not because the team didn't want him, but that due to the salary cap the Bruins couldn't afford him.
During the team's exit meetings, general manager Peter Chiarelli met with Ference and informed the veteran he would not be returning to Boston.
"I said it when I left too, I was fortunate to leave under those kind of circumstances. I've seen a lot of guys over the course of their careers that get traded at the drop of a hat and they pack up and are gone the next day," Ference said. "They don't get really a chance to have a long, drawn-out goodbye like I did. When I was told I wasn't going to come back here, it was under the best terms with Peter and the team. They were happy with what I did and I was happy with what they did, which is great.
"Then I had a bunch of time to see some friends and spend some time with people here. That's special. It's been about as fairy tale as it gets in the sports world as far as leaving a city and going to a city and knowing you can come back to open arms."
Ference signed with his hometown team during the summer and landed a four-year deal worth $13 million. He was named captain of the team during training camp.
The Oilers arrived in town Thursday, so Ference had some time to catch up with friends. He brought his family with him on this trip.
"That's why I have family, so I'll get some cheers, at least," he said. "Obviously it'll have a special place in our lives for everything that happened here with Boston. It's not like I'll have a whole lot of highlights or anything like that, with great goals or anything like that. But I think people will appreciate what we were a part of and being in the community and stuff like that.
"I think even since I left, people will send me messages from Boston all the time, so I think the feeling is mutual with how great we knew each other."

Dale Power Client
"It was about 14 weeks from my bodybuilding comp and I wanted to get a good diet and training program to really get my body fat down and come in shredded. I knew I needed to approach someone experienced to pin point my diet down to a tee. I've been in the fitness industry for about 5 years and had always known who obi was and thought, I wonder if someone of that stature would help me with my program. I thought to myself, no way he'd have the time. But decided to send an email anyway. Within hours there was a reply in my inbox!! My automatic reply I said to myself before opening it because this guy would be so busy. To my surprise it was a legitimate reply! I was shocked and he said he'd love to help and we could do a 12 week program. So that was it I took my before pics and started the diet. The plan was very detailed and precise and there was no room for error. During the whole 12 weeks obi was very helpful; My program was regularly updated and personalized for me. It was my 4th competition I've competed in and I was in my best condition yet!! Actually the best condition of my life!!! It was amazing and I felt amazing. I appreciate it so much that Obi took the time out of his busy life to help me. He is a massive inspiration and definitely one of my heroes in the fitness industry!!"
Sherry Stevenson Client
"I am a mother and a female police corporal . I work out all the time but know matter how much I worked out I couldn't seem to get my abs to appear. Well I emailed Obi and he emailed me back right away . He said he could help me get my body where I wanted it. He emailed me a program and I followed it. It was hard work but I didnt give up. Now I have abs and not only abs but a six pack. Thank you Obi for helping me acheive my goal."
Quentin Skinner Client
"Thanks for everything Obi! I feel great, stronger and in better shape then ever. I play competitively and I have played professionally in Europe for a year and I can tell you that this is the highest my vertical leap has ever been. I believe the biggest impact for me is the diet. This is the first time I really focused on dieting and I really believe that Obi's dieting and training plan is everything in a nutshell to help you lose fat fast. Thanks again, I'll be in touch. On to the next challenge. Thanks!"

IT COULD BE a lot worse.
The Flyers are two games under .500, thanks to their two-game collapse in Florida this week. Their overconfident road trip brought the Flyers back to earth after a 6-0-1 run rocketed them up the standings.
Still, the Flyers had a lot to be thankful for on Thanksgiving, as they moved past the quarter-pole in this 82-game roller-coaster.

But for now Iran is the king of Gold, you were sleeping when they purchases tons of it at 600 bucks an ounce in addition to their own harvest.
Because Iran owns a lot of Gold and they are selling to confront their economics sanctions.

Possible Bearish Inside Day Candle Pattern Detected for Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (NASDAQ:GLDD)
SmarTrend's candlestick scanner has spotted a possible bearish inside day candle pattern in Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (NASDAQ:GLDD) based on the price action in the company's shares. Yesterday's price range of $4.42 and $4.60 is within the prior day's high and low of the day. This trading action often signifies indecision by bulls and bears to drive prices higher or lower and often implies a possible change in trend. Owners of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock may want to consider a possible hedge in the event a pullback occurs. Look for confirmation in the next few trading days.
Over the past year, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock has traded in a range of $2.96 to $8.13 and closed yesterday at $4.51, 52% above that low. In the last five trading sessions, the 50-day moving average (MA) has climbed 2.2% while the 200-day MA has slid 0.7%.

Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (NASDAQ:GLDD) has potential upside of 24.7% based on a current price of $4.51 and analysts' consensus price target of $5.62. The stock should discover initial support at its 200-day moving average (MA) of $4.50 and subsequent support at its 50-day MA of $3.81.

Why Do Diabetics Excrete Glucose in Their Urine?
Late-onset diabetes is a serious and increasingly common disorder in which the body's cells lose their ability to respond to insulin, a hormone that is needed to trigger their uptake of glucose. As illustrated below, the binding of insulin to a receptor in the plasma membrane causes the rapid insertion of glucose transporter channels into the plasma membrane, allowing the cell to take up glucose. In diabetics, however, glucose molecules accumulate in the blood while the body's cells starve for the lack of them. In mild cases, blood glucose levels rise to several times the normal value of 4 mM; in severe, untreated cases, blood glucose levels may become enormously elevated, up to 25 times the normal value. A characteristic symptom of even mild diabetes is the excretion of large amounts of glucose in the urine. The name of the disorder, diabetes mellitus, means "excessive secretion of sweet urine." In normal individuals, by contrast, only trace amounts of glucose are excreted. The kidney very efficiently reabsorbs glucose molecules from the fluid passing through it. Why doesn't it do so in diabetic individuals?
The graph on the upper right displays so-called glucose tolerance curves for a normal person (blue line) and a diabetic (red line). After a night without food, each individual drank a test dose of 100 grams of glucose dissolved in water. Blood glucose levels were then monitored at 30-minute and one-hour intervals. The dotted line indicates the kidney threshold, the maximum concentration of blood glucose molecules (about 10 mM) that the kidney is able to retrieve from the fluid passing through it when all of its glucose-transporting channels are being utilized full-bore.
Applying Concepts
a. Variable. In the graph, what is the dependent variable?
b. Reading a Curve. What is the immediate impact on the normal individual's blood glucose levels of consuming the test dose of glucose? How long does it take for the normal person's blood glucose level to return to the level before the test dose?
c. Comparing Curves. Is the impact any different for the diabetic person? How long does it take for the diabetic person's blood glucose levels to return to the level before the test dose?

Researchers at the Oregon State and Portland State universities said that permitted left turns are often allowed by a "confusing hodgepodge" of signals, and drivers may have to pick their way through narrow windows of oncoming traffic.
Permitted left turns are distinguished from protected left turns, in which a solid green arrow gives drivers the complete right of way.
The researchers said their study found that permitted left turns present an "alarming" level of risk to unwary pedestrians crossing the street.
"There are far more pedestrian crashes in marked crosswalks than anywhere else on roads, and pedestrians already have a false sense of security," said David Hurwitz, an assistant professor of transportation engineering at Oregon State University and the study's principal investigator. "This study found that one key concern is permitted left turns."
The research showed that as drivers wait to make a permitted left turn, they focus mainly on the traffic and the signal, rather than pedestrians, and often lunge into narrow openings in oncoming traffic. The heavier the traffic, the less attention paid to pedestrians, according to the study.
For the study, a controlled analysis was conducted in a full-scale driving simulator that monitored specific eye movements. Twenty-seven subjects experienced 620 permitted left turn maneuvers.
The analysis found that about one time in 10 or 20, the driver didn't look to see whether a pedestrian was present before moving into the intersection. According to the researchers, this suggests a major level of risk to pedestrians if they assume that drivers will look for them and allow them to cross the street.
The researchers concluded that the danger is high enough that more states and cities should consider prohibiting permitted left turns while pedestrians are allowed to be in the crosswalk. In Washington County, Ore., traffic managers recently did that after getting a high number of complaints about pedestrian-vehicle conflicts.
"In traffic management, you always have multiple goals, which sometimes conflict," Hurwitz said. "You want to move traffic as efficiently as possible, because there's a cost to making vehicles wait. You use more fuel, increase emissions and waste people's time. The permitted left turn can help with efficiency.
"But the safety of the traveling public is also critical," he said. "Sometimes the goal of safety has to override the goal of efficiency, and we think this is one of those times."

Brief Summary
The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), also known as the palmetto bug or waterbug particularly in the southern United States (Cassidy and Hall 2002), is the largest common species of pest cockroach. It is native to Africa, and is a pest worldwide, especially in the tropics and subtropics. In Europe and other countries with cooler climates, the American cockroach is rarely found out of doors. It is often found in bakeries, warehouses, hotels, zoos, greenhouses, mines, sewers and ships. It scavenges for food but can survive long periods of starvation. Adults live for between 4 to 21 months and the eggs hatch in 4-12 weeks. Extensively modified from Wikipedia.
The American Cockroach, despite its name, is not native to North America but was most probably introduced via ships from Africa. It is currently worldwide in distribution.
(Smith & Whitman, 1992)
Biogeographic Regions: nearctic (Introduced ); palearctic (Introduced , Native ); oriental (Introduced ); ethiopian (Native ); neotropical (Introduced ); australian (Introduced )
Other Geographic Terms: cosmopolitan
Physical Description
Periplaneta americana adults are about 1 3/8 to 2 1/8 inches (34-53 mm) long. Their color is a reddish brown except for a submarginal pale brown to yellowish band around the edge of their pronotal shield (Pronotal shield - an expanded version of the top surface plate of the front segment of the thorax). Both sexes are fully winged. The wings of males extend beyond the tip of the abdomen, while females' do not. They are poor to moderately good fliers.
Early instars of P. americana nymphs are uniformly grayish brown dorsally, paler ventrally, and shiny. The cerci (cercus [pl. cerci]- One of a pair of dorsal appendages at the posterior end of the abdomen) are slender, and distinctly tapered from the base with length about 5 times the width. Later instars are reddish brown with lateral and posterior margins of the thorax and lateral areas (sides) of abdominal segments somewhat darker. The cerci are about the same as in the early instars. The widest segments are 2.5 times as wide as long. The antennae are uniformly brown.
The cockroach's walking pattern can be described as follows:
"The cyclic movement of a walking leg consists of two parts, the power stroke (also stance phase or support phase) and the return stroke (also swing phase or recovery phase). During the power stroke, the leg is on the ground where it can support and propel the body. In a forward-walking animal, this corresponds to a retraction movement of the leg. During the return stroke, the leg is lifted off the ground and swung to the starting position for the next power stroke."
(Cruse 1990; Cochran 1980; Smith & Whitman 1992; Bio-Serv 1998)
Other Physical Features: ectothermic ; bilateral symmetry
P. americana is found in many different habitats. Although they generally live in moist areas, they can survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer warm temperatures around 84 degrees Fahrenheit and do not tolerate cold. They die at temperatures below 15 degrees Fahrenheit. These criteria are often met in large commercial buildings such as restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, food processing plants, hospitals, etc., where cockroaches may infest food-storage and food-preparation areas, basements, and steam tunnels. They are also found, although not as commonly, in residences. During the summer months, they can be found outdoors in yards and alleys. In the United States this is the most common species found in city sewer systems. They can enter structures by being brought in, coming up from the sewer system via drains, or occasional mass migration from other structures, dumps, etc., during warm weather.
(Cochran, 1980; Smith & Whitman, 1992)
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland ; forest ; rainforest ; scrub forest
Trophic Strategy
Roaches themselves will eat anything, including one another. There is very little organic material that a cockroach won't eat. The list includes bark, leaves, paper, wool clothes, sugar, cheese, bread, oil, lemons, ink, soap, flesh, fish, leather, other roaches (dead or alive), or their own cast-off skins and egg-capsules. Some of these items, such as cellulose, can not be digested by normal means. However, like cows and other grazing animals, cockroaches have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria that allows them to digest such substances. Although they feed on many kinds of food, they show a particular fondness for fermenting food.

Life History and Behavior
Female P. americana produce many different sex pheromones to attract a suitable mate. Examples of these attractive chemicals include periplanone-B, periplanone-A, germacradien-9-one, cresol, phenol, undecen, hexenal, cyclohexanedial, hexanoic acid, dodecalactone, pentanone, and octanone. Sperm transfer occurs through the use of a spermatophore, which is sometimes eaten by the female because of its protein-rich nature. (Spermatophore- Capsule or packet enclosing sperm, produced by males of several invertebrate groups and a few vertebrates). Once fertilization has occurred, a female forms oothecae, or egg sacs. Parthenogenesis or egg production without fertilization does occur, but eggs either fail to hatch, or produce only a few nymphs. The ootheca is a dark reddish to blackish brown; about 3/8" (8 mm) long, with length about1.5 times the width. The female deposits her ootheca within a few hours or up to 4 days after it is formed. It is dropped or glued with an oral secretion to a suitable surface, usually in a crack or crevice of high relative humidity near a food source.
On average, females produce 9-10 (range 6-14; maximum 90) oothecae, each containing 14-16 eggs. Developmental time (egg to adult) is greatly influenced by temperature, varying from 168-786+ days but averaging about 600 days under ordinary room conditions. During this time, they molt 10-13 times. Adult females live about 440 days (range 102-588; maximum 913) at ordinary room conditions(e.g. 70°F/20°C), but at 84°F/29°C, adult females live about 225 days (range 90-706), whereas adult males live about 200 days (range 90-362) at 84°F/29°C.
The development of P. americana is hemimetabolous, meaning there is no major metamophosis. The nymphs look very much like small adults.
Nymphs are given no parental care; hatchling roaches are left to fend for themselves. The nymph grows by molting and it goes through about 13 molts before it reaches the adult form. The next to last nymphal stage has wing pads, but only adult cockroaches have wings.
(Bell, 1981; Smith & Whitman, 1992)
Evolution and Systematics
Functional Adaptations
Functional adaptation
The cuticle of cockroaches allows temperature-controlled variability of moisture loss via a waxy coat.
"It was shown by Ramsay (1935) that the cockroach owes its impermeability to water to a thin and apparently mobile layer of lipoid on its surface. At a critical temperature of about 30° C. this lipoid seems to undergo a change of phase, and it then allows water to pass freely through it. This interesting observation has never been confirmed on other insects. It forms the starting-point of the present study." (Wigglesworth 1945:97)

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
This species is harmful to humans, and its impact on human health and economies is substantial. The greatest potential harm is an agent for disease transmission. American cockroaches can transmit a variety of bacterial diseases by feeding on contaminated material, and then contacting people's food. Cockroaches are also the fourth most common allergen. 50-60% of all atopic and asthmatic people show intense reactions to cockroach extract. Sensitivity to cockroach allergens may be as high as 79% in asthmatic children in severely infested homes. The species also has a psychological impact on humans, causing anxiety and stress due to embarrassment and physical invasion (Bio-Serv 1998; Cochran 1980).
American cockroach
The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), also colloquially known as the waterbug,[1] but not a true waterbug since it is not aquatic, or misidentified as the palmetto bug (see Florida woods cockroach for the differences),[2][3] is the largest species of common cockroach, and often considered a pest. It is also known as the ship cockroach, kakerlac, and Bombay canary.[4]
Despite the name, none of the Periplaneta species are endemic to the Americas; P. americana was introduced to the United States from Africa as early as 1625.[4] They are now common in tropical climates because human activity has extended the insect's range of habitation, and are virtually cosmopolitan in distribution as a result of global commerce.[4]
Cockroaches date back to the Carboniferous period. Cockroaches are thought to have emerged on the supercontinent Pangaea, or on Gondwana, the daughter continent of Pangaea. The cockroach made many adaptations over the years to be able to survive the major die offs to which many species succumbed.[5]
American cockroach adults grow to an average length of around 4 cm (1.6 in) and about 7 mm (0.28 in) tall.[6] They are reddish brown and have a yellowish margin on the body region behind the head. Immature cockroaches resemble adults except they are wingless.
The cockroach is divided in three sections; the body is flattened and broadly oval, with a shield-like pronotum covering its head. A pronotum is a plate-like structure that covers all or part of the dorsal surface of the thorax of certain insects. They also have chewing mouth parts, long, segmented antennae, and leathery fore wings with delicate hind wings. The third section of the cockroach is the abdomen.[7]
The insect can travel quickly, often darting out of sight when someone enters a room, and can fit into small cracks and under doors despite its fairly large size. It is considered one of the fastest running insects.[8]
In an experiment carried out at the University of California, Berkeley in 1991, a Periplaneta americana registered a record speed of 5.4 km/h (3.4 mph), about 50 body lengths per second, which would be comparable to a human running at 330 km/h (210 mph).[9][10]
It has a pair of large compound eyes, each having over 2000 individual lenses, and is a very active night insect that shuns light.
The American cockroach shows a characteristic insect morphology with its body bearing divisions as head trunk and abdomen. The trunk, or thorax, is divisible in prothorax, mesothorax and metathorax. Each thoracic segment gives rise to a pair of walking appendage (known as legs). The organism bears two wings. The forewings, known as tegmina arises from mesothorax and is dark and opaque. The hind wings arise from metathorax and are used in flight. The abdomen is divisible into ten segments each of which is composed of dorsal tergites and ventral sclerites.
Risk to humans[edit]
The odorous secretions produced by American cockroaches can alter the flavor of food. Also, if populations of cockroaches are high, there will be a strong concentration of this odorous secretion.[11] Cockroaches can pick up disease-causing bacteria,[12] such as Salmonella, on their legs and later deposit them on foods and cause food infections or poisoning. House dust containing cockroach feces and body parts can trigger allergic reactions and asthma in certain individuals.[13]
American cockroaches generally live in moist areas, but can survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer warm temperatures around 29 °C (84 °F) and do not tolerate cold temperatures. In residential areas, these cockroaches live in basements and sewers, and may move outdoors into yards during warm weather. These cockroaches are common in basements, crawl spaces, cracks and crevices of porches, foundations, and walkways adjacent to buildings.
Life cycle[edit]
American cockroaches have three developmental stages: egg, nymph, and adult.[11] Females produce an egg case (ootheca) which protrudes from the tip of the abdomen. On average, females produce 9–10 ootheecae, although they can sometimes produce as many as 90.[14] Cockroach is paurometabolous.[15] After about two days, the egg cases are placed on a surface in a safe location. Egg cases are about 0.9 centimetres (0.35 in) long, brown, and purse-shaped. Immature cockroaches emerge from egg cases in 6–8 weeks and require 6–12 months to mature. After hatching, the nymphs feed and undergo a series of 13 moultings (or ecdysis). Adult cockroaches can live up to an additional year, during which females produce an average of 150 young.
American cockroaches are omnivorous and opportunistic feeders that eat a great variety of materials such as cheese, beer, leather, bakery products, starch in book bindings, manuscripts, glue, hair, flakes of dried skin, dead animals, plant materials, soiled clothing, and glossy paper with starch sizing.[4][11] It is particularly fond of fermenting foods.[16] They have also been observed to feed upon dead or wounded cockroaches of their own or other species.
Due to their large size and slow development, large infestations of these insects are not common within houses.[citation needed] However, during certain times of the year, these cockroaches may move inside a house from outside. In cold weather these cockroaches may move indoors, seeking warmer temperatures and food. Cockroaches may enter houses through sewer connections, under doors, around plumbing, air ducts, or other openings in the foundation.[14] Cockroach populations may be controlled through the use of insecticides. It is also wise to cover any cracks or crevices through which cockroaches may enter. Also, always clean any spills or messes that have been made so that the cockroaches will not be attracted to the food source. Another way to prevent an infestation of cockroaches is to thoroughly check any material that is brought inside. Cockroaches and egg cases can be hidden inside or on furniture, in boxes, suitcases, grocery bags, etc.[11]

The mobile revolution that transitioned computers out of our offices and into our pockets is already in full swing. Some tech-makers made the shift easily, while others like Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) struggled to adapt. But mobile isn't finished evolving, and with a few new chip designs, Intel may make a mobile comeback.
A new mobile strategy
Intel recently hosted its annual developer forum and introduced a new system-on-a-chip architecture and new Quark chip aimed squarely at putting the company back on the mobile track.
The Bay Trail system works on the current Atom chips, but delivers higher performance with low power consumption. It was the newest refresh to the Atom architecture in five years . Bay Trail has seen CPU speeds faster than NVIDIA's Tegra 4 and Qualcomm's (NASDAQ: QCOM ) Snapdragon 800, two of the top mobile chips on the market today.
Bay Trail will show up in low-end tablets in the $100 range and Intel hopes that will boost the company's place in the mobile space. The latest version of the Atom chips with Bay Trail architecture are expected to offer more than eight hours of battery life while watching HD video on 7- to 10-inch tablets.
But that's not the only weapon Intel is putting into its mobile arsenal. The company also launched its smallest-ever chip, called Quark, for wearables, industrial equipment communication, and even consumable medical tech. Yes, consumable. The chip is one-fifth the size of the company's Atom chip and uses one-tenth of the power.
While both the Bay Trail architecture and the Quark chip are important advancements for Intel, the company will have to overcome serious competition from Qualcomm if it really wants to make waves in mobile.
Easier said than done
Qualcomm's chip leadership is unrivaled, with its Snapdragon processors powering devices like Motorola's Moto X, Samsung's Galaxy S4, and Google's Nexus 7 tablet. The company also boasts chips with integrated multimode LTE connectivity, which Intel has lacked.
Last month, Intel bought Fujitsu Semiconductor Wireless to boost its LTE expertise, but it still falls short of Qualcomm's lead. Intel's Hermann Eul recently told Fierce Wireless that it's now shipping its first multimode LTE chip, but its lack of LTE representation in the market up until now has hurt the company's mobile ambitions.
Intel investors should be pleased with the company's recent chip and system-on-a-chip announcements, as well as its work with LTE, but competing with Qualcomm won't come easy. Intel's advantage in the space is that it knows how to produce a massive amount of chips while cutting production costs. But the company really needs to make major inroads in wearables to solidify its mobile future. Investors should keep an eye on how well the new Quark chip is received and which companies integrate it into smart watches and other gadgets. Keep an eye on any major deals for the new chip in industrial equipment and medical devices as well. Both are growing industries for small chips, and Intel may have released Quark just in time to meet demand.
Mobile's not done yet
The mobile revolution is still in its infancy, but with so many different companies it can be daunting to know how to profit in the space. Fortunately, The Motley Fool has released a free report on mobile named "The Next Trillion-Dollar Revolution" that tells you how. The report describes why this seismic shift will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it and also names the company at the forefront of the trend.
