Take one step into Nicholas Randolph's Mount Pleasant home and you'll have no doubt that he is passionate about his work. Every available surface of his workspace is covered with his drawings, some dating back more than a decade. From larger-than-life-sized depictions of superheroes to caricatures of movie stars and TV personalities, Nicholas's art is just as unique and full of personality as the man himself.
Stemming from his childhood fascination with the cartoons and comic books of the '80s, Nicholas has been drawing his entire life, but it wasn't until a former teacher asked for a sketch that he realized that drawing was what he wanted to do for a living.
"Back in 1995 when I went to St. Andrews High School my freshman and sophomore year, I took an auto service class and had a teacher named Mr. Bennett," said Nicholas. "One day, he sat down after class and handed me a sheet of paper and said, 'I want you to draw me. I want to see how good you are.' He sat in front of me and I sketched him and Mr. Bennett liked that picture so much that he showed it to a lot of people. And one day he came up to me in the cafeteria and said, 'My wife liked that picture you drew of me so much she wanted me to give you this.' His wife told him to give me $5." From that point on, Nicholas knew that he wanted to turn his passion for drawing into a career.
Teachers were always an important part of Nicholas's life and his pursuit of a career in the arts. "He had special needs, but he had wonderful educators at Charleston County schools and they really took him under their wing and fostered his love of drawing," said Nicholas's sister and business manager Gena Randolph. "He's the product of really good educators."
Nicholas, known professionally as "The Sketchman," is available for individual and group portraits, corporate events and birthday parties. His first major gig came in 2004 when he was hired as a sketch artist for a corporate Christmas party. He spent the evening drawing portraits of partygoers and getting to know his clients. While a bit nervous at first, Nicholas still remembers the thrill he felt sharing his talent with all those people.
"At the end of that night, I came home and I was laying down in bed and I couldn't sleep," said Nicholas. "I still felt like I was at that party just drawing people over and over again."
Currently working at The Kickin' Chicken in Mount Pleasant, Nicholas hopes that his art career will continue to grow. "I'm really passionate about this. I've been doing it for a long time," said Nicholas.
For sketches, caricatures and portraits, or to enlist his skills for an event, Nicholas Randolph can be reached by phone at 843-971-1837 or by email email@example.com.

Following several weeks of increases spot market freight rates and the number of loads available have fallen over the past week, according to the freight matching service provider DAT.
Flatbeds posted the biggest decline, 2.1%, April 6 through April 12 compared to the previous seven days, hitting an average of $2.34 per mile. "Load volume dipped slightly, but remains strong in the early spring; capacity improved this week, but remains tight," said DAT.
Vans fell 1% to $2.08 per mile while reefers declined 0.4% to $2.25 per mile as load volume slowed and available capacity improved.
This happened as load-to-truck ratios fell in all three sectors, with vans showing the biggest decline, 25%, followed by reefers at 20% and flatbeds giving up 9.5%. Overall freight availability fell 7%.
Despite the declines spot market freight rates overall are unusually strong for this time of the year.

Environmental Health - Toxic Substances Hydrology Program
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists and their colleagues have developed a new method to detect the presence of the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) in water and sediment samples. The Bd fungus causes chytridiomycosis, an infectious disease that can kill amphibians and has been identified as a potential cause of amphibian declines on five continents. Until the development of this new method, Bd could be detected in infected amphibians, but not in the environment they live in. This new method gives scientists a tool to help study the environmental conditions under which Bd becomes infectious, and the mechanisms by which it spreads from one place to another.
The method detects the presence of Bd DNA in water and sediment through the appropriate application and adaptation of existing protocols for collecting water and sediment samples, and a laboratory technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR gives scientists the ability to detect the DNA of specific organisms even when their abundance is low. Now scientists can detect Bd DNA in water and sediment samples, which will help gain a better understanding of the relationship between the environmental occurrence of Bd and the incidence of chytridiomycosis in amphibians. Application of this new method will allow scientists to study the implications of Bd's presence in water bodies, to monitor water bodies before amphibian reintroduction efforts, to evaluate how climate change affects Bd occurrence and virulence, and to investigate how Bd spreads across the landscape.
The development of methods to detect amphibian disease in the environment is one part of the USGS's Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative (ARMI). ARMI is a collaborative effort of U.S. Department of the Interior agencies that is led by the USGS to determine the cause, scope, and severity of amphibian declines across the Nation.
The new chytrid method is being used by scientists both within and outside the USGS.
Kirshtein, J.D., Anderson, C.W., Wood, J.S., Longcore, J.E., and Voytek, M.A., 2007, Quantitative PCR detection of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis DNA from sediments and water: Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, v. 77, no. 1, p. 11-15, doi:10.3354/dao01831.

AIBA Paves The Way For English Boxers To Compete
English boxers will be able to compete under their own flag at this year's World Championships after world governing body AIBA lifted its provisional suspension on the Amateur Boxing Association of England.
An AIBA disciplinary commission found that the ABAE "committed and continues to commit significant violations of AIBA statutes" - but elected instead to impose a fine of 5,000 Swiss francs (£3,400) on the national governing body.
The disciplinary commission added that the fine would be waived if the ABAE issues a public statement confirming it had failed to comply with AIBA's statutes and rules, and would adopt the required amendments to its constitution.
The ABAE was provisionally suspended in July for "serious breaches" of AIBA rules, predominantly involving ABAE's refusal to allow boxers who were signed up with AIBA's World Series of Boxing to compete in its domestic competitions, as well as concerns over Sport England's involvement in its governance issues.
AIBA warned ABAE "to keep all governance and operations at arms-length away from Sport England... in order to maintain the necessary autonomy", and threatened any delays in implementing such changes beyond an October 8 deadline would lead to the disciplinary commission reopening its case.
AIBA said in a statement on Thursday: "The ABAE and its boxers are free to compete in AIBA events. However, any issue regarding delays or objections during this reform process may be referred back to the disciplinary commission who may then reopen the matter and issue additional fines and/or sanctions."
The ABAE had no immediate comment to make.
AIBA president Dr Ching-kuo Wu confirmed to Press Association Sport last week that, had the suspension been upheld, England boxers would have been eligible to compete at forthcoming tournaments under the flag of the governing body.
The men's AIBA World Boxing Championships take place in Almaty, Kazakhstan, from October 11 to 27.

4 Reviews
I made this with 2 of the beef flavor Knorr Homestyle stock concentrates, one regular chicken bouillon cube, regular salt Kikkoman and Holland House brand red cooking wine, which is flavored with 1.5% salt. I agree, great flavor but way too salty. And I like salty. Not sure how switching from corn starch to flour would change the sodium level. I want to try this recipe again with reduced sodium soy, 1 beef stock concentrate and 1 reduced sodium chicken stock concentrate because Knorr doesn't have the beef flavor in reduced sodium, only chicken, and maybe an unsalted red wine. Wondering how I could desalinate my current leftovers...
The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it's too salty as written. I tried using flour instead of corn starch to try and cut the salt and added some milk too which gave the sauce a beautiful smooth and rich consistency but it was still too salty. Next time I'll use half the amount of bouillon and a lower salt variety of both the soy sauce and the bouillon. Other than that it has incredible flavor and texture. I used a box Merlot, it was the perfect choice of of red wine :)
Very good, we came up with our own photo too!
The flavor of this dish is excellent. There are a few things in the directions that could use some clarification. Step 1 says melt shortening, but no amount is given. It also doesn't specify if the meat should be drained or not before adding the items in Step 2. I poured about 1/2 of the liquid off but I think I should have poured it all off. The reason being, the gravy never thickened up so I guess there was too much liquid for the amount of corn starch. The next day I cooked some frozen vegetables and mixed them into the leftover meat and noodles, along with some more water, and it made a very tasty soup. I will definitely be preparing this again but I'll be making a few changes to try and get a thicker gravy. Thanks for sharing!

'Insidious 2's' Leigh Whannell and James Wan on sequels and time travel: Watch
Is "Insidious: Chapter 2" really the final chapter in the hit horror series?
HitFix's Chris Eggertsen recently sat down with director James Wan "The Conjuring") and writer Leigh Whannell, who first teamed on the original "Saw" in 2004, to discuss the new film.
The duo discuss how the sequel came about, and Wan's desire to re-visit the original characters (played by Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne), and trying something completely new and different in the series' universe.
They also talk about the idea of time-traveling within the framework of a horror film, and the possibility of a third film. Given the new film's massive opening, it would be a surprise if the franchise was already wrapped up.
Wan also briefly touched on his next project "Fast & Furious 7," saying that he aims to bring some tension and terror to the well-established, action-packed world of the franchise.
"Insidious: Chapter 2" is now in theaters.

Solutions for Chapter 15
In the hydrologic cycle, the sun causes water to evaporate from surfaces and to transpire from plants. The water is then condensed in the upper atmosphere where it turns to precipitation that falls back to the surface. The precipitation either infiltrates the soil and is stored in underground reservoirs or it runs-off to enter a river system.

Monitoring A Large Portfolio 50 commentsApr 17, 2013 4:20 AM
This instablog is more about housekeeping than it is about market strategies. Housekeeping is important if you wish to keep your house in order.
If you've ever read the book, "What Works On Wall Street" by James O'Shaughnessey, you'd know that he researched and back tested many different strategies over four decades. He found that regardless of what strategy you chose, the best long term results came from portfolio's that held 50 positions or more, diversified among various sectors.
I know there are those out there who are going to dispute that, or rationalize it, but his findings have been backed up by others, including Benjamin Graham who held at least 75 positions on most occasions.
Lowell Miller, author of "The Single Best Investment" came to the same conclusion. I've also seen the same sized portfolio among other firms promoting dividend investments.
Human emotion being what it is, we are geared to think positive and focus on success. Very few people plan for failure, but failure is what happens when you don't measure what you may gain, by what you may lose. A portfolio of this size protects you to the downside and when the downside is protected, the upside takes care of itself, without you having to fight for the same ground twice.
There are some who can't imagine managing that many positions. I've read the comments, it's hard enough keeping up with 10, never mind 50. Well, perhaps you are doing it wrong and spending wasted time. This instablog is going to attempt to teach you how to work smart, not hard.
The first thing you must understand is that these positions are added over time. You're not going to go out and buy 50 positions overnight.
This is important! ... If you have to micro manage a position, you took on too much risk. Successful investors know how to buy quality companies that don't require the day to day monitoring that the micro managers use. When your management style is to micro manage, you get micro results.
No matter how closely you watch a position, you aren't good enough to know in advance, prior to the market knowing, that a company is in trouble. Whatever it is you think you are going to know, will already be priced into the stock.
I had a few exchanges with people who owned AT. I thought it was too speculative, and I always got the response that they were watching it closely. They had an "eagle eye" on it. They read the 10K's, the 10Q's, read every article that came out, followed the conference calls, listened to the analysts, and yet woke up March 1st, where the price gapped down 38% before the market even opened.
Think about that! ... A 38% drop in price before the market even opened, and it's continued downward from there.
Before they even had a clue about what was going on, the news was already showing up on the tape. The tape tells all!
You can't beat the tape unless you get lucky on occasion and luck isn't something you can use consistently. A lot of good it did micro managing that position, eh?
The same thing happened to me a number of years ago. I was heavily invested in Canadian Trusts. I kept up with every snipit of news and comment I could find on the internet. I was so informed, I felt like I was as close to being an insider that an outsider could be. I was in control of my positions! Then one day I woke up, turned on the computer, and saw that every single one of my Trusts were down 20% in pre-market. The market wasn't even open yet!
Your first instinct after "What the hell?" is to look for the news and try to determine what's going on. While I did this, the price kept falling. That day has gone down in history as "The Halloween Massacre." I was there! I suffered! ... A lot of good micro managing those positions did for me, hence I got smarter as a result of it.
So, what to do now?
I learned that one of the keys to long term success is to own quality. I learned that by owning about 50 companies, you limit the amount of damage any one company or sector can do to your portfolio. I learned that once you complete your due diligence, and you purchase the company, that day to day monitoring isn't going to prevent days like AT or the Canadian Trusts had.
By sticking with high grade, quality companies, how much day to day monitoring do you think it takes to keep up with KO or PG for example? These companies are so closely watched, by so many people, that anything I do is redundant. I'd be kidding myself, and wasting my time, to think I'm smart enough to out-think the number of smart people following KO or PG.
If you want to try to go ahead and out-smart them, then go for it. Personally, I can ignore following those companies closely because there's an Army of analysts already doing it, already reporting it, and anything else you think there might be is already priced into the stock.
I also found that by buying the top two or three companies in each sector, you can accumulate a lot of positions without even trying. Therefore, I don't have to worry about KO or PEP being the better selection, I own both. I own PG, CL and KMB. VZ and T. EPD, KMP and MMP. MO and PM. The list goes on. And when you do that, it's easy to build a portfolio of 50 companies and maintain quality. That's the key! ... Quality! ... Best in breed.
From my perspective, let them fight it out. If one company slacks up, the other is usually the beneficiary, and I already own it.
Here is how I monitor my portfolio of nearly 50 companies. Every company I own is listed on a Quote Tracker. When you pull your portfolio up, it shows how every position is doing for the day. All I am interested in, is any position that is up or down 3% or more for that day. That's it!
I ignore the positions that are up or down 2% or less. Those are normal trading ranges for most companies. In fact, those are quite common to see. But when you see a company up or down 3% or more on the day, that's usually news related. News that wouldn't have shown up anyway prior to the price showing up on the tape. So, I watch the tape.
There are many weeks when you won't see 3% moves, so there isn't a lot of monitoring required. You'll see them most of the time around earnings time.
When I see a 3% price move, it takes minutes to read the news and make a decision. This doesn't take a lot of time. If the news is good, decide if you wish to add or lock in profits, if the news is bad, decide if you wish to trim or buy more on the dip. You should already know in advance what your views are on the company. It doesn't take a lot of monitoring to keep up.
Earnings announcements, dividend announcements and 3% daily price moves are all I monitor. I bet it takes me less time to monitor 50 positions than it takes for some people to monitor 10.
I don't read 10Q's or 10K's. I don't waste my time with them. Why? Because everything written and known about the company in those reports are already priced into the stock. That's the advantage of owning blue chip companies. It means less monitoring for you because you have so many others following the company for you. ... Think about it!
Now, if we're talking small cap companies, that's a different ballgame. Those need to be monitored more closely. They aren't as widely covered.
The higher the quality of the companies you own, and the wider the range of analysts covering those companies, the less day to day monitoring that is required by you. Earnings announcements, dividend announcements, and 3% daily price moves is all I've been monitoring for years.
My strategy is to work smart and not hard. By purchasing blue chip companies that are widely covered by analysts, I let them do the monitoring for me. If they see something they don't like, then they are going to start liquidating and that's going to show up on the tape immediately, and before I could find it on my own.
It's easier to monitor 50 positions than most people think. The market will tell you what to do. You just need to learn how to be a good listener.Back To Chowder's Instablog HomePage »

Chowder -- wow, I was hoping I was doing it more or less, kinda right regarding tracking!
Watch the earnings, watch the divs, and watch for 3% changes. That seems to be the key. Thanks for sharing and helping me -- sure do appreciate it. ( 10K's / 10Q's / etc. -- my gawd, leave it for others who know and have the time).

Using KO as an example, it depends on where you are in your portfolio. If it were already an even weight position, I might do nothing. Someone in retirement might want to lock in profits. Someone in the accumulation phase might want to add to their position on start as a new position if they don't already own it.

3. Price moves of 3% or more
General Mills Announces 15 Percent Dividend Increase, Extending Century-Long Dividend Record
MINNEAPOLIS, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --General Mills (NYSE: GIS) said today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend payable May 1, 2013, and also approved a 15 percent increase in the dividend rate effective with the Aug. 1, 2013, payment.
If I had applied this I would not have lost what I had gained or ridden a stock down. These are just simple little pearls. I wish I had known and applied. Since I am building my portfolio. This is all the better. It also makes it simple to show people how to do. I have 28 positions now. I doubled down on KO even though it is at a top. I also increased JNJ. I am not going to worry unless I see things change. I will also know now to monitor those 3% changes. I have even been able to start watching On Balance Volume. I forgot where you posted a article about that. I will probably find it here in a bit. I just thank you for the help and the spiral really does help. I copied all the Pay Dates too. I will also say I printed 83 pages of the Challengers and Contenders stocks. So thanks bunches, Sir Chowder!!!
pyc435 ---
Right here on Seeking Alpha, you can build a portfolio of up to 250 different stocks and indicate that you want dividend announcements and earnings reports delivered to you via email. I have found it to be same day service.
There are exceptions, however ...
Some companies bury their dividend announcement deep in their earnings reports. SA seems to miss these. So you need to familiarize yourself with which companies do this and do your own digging.
Hope this helps.
thanks again for your insights. the more i read from you (and from others about these topics), the more you make sense. and this style, too!
I was re-reading Value Investing Made Easy by Janet Lowe. The book is based on "Benjamin Graham's Classic Investment Strategy Explained For Everyone."
I knew you'd have a source, but I didn't expect it so quickly. Your problem is you know too much, always reading and learning stuff!
Certainly could be, thanks for pointing that out. After reviewing my notes, I saw that in Intelligent Investor, Graham recommends between 10-30 holdings. That's not to say he didn't operate his own funds differently. But I did not find anything about GEICO, so I'll now say it over in Buffett's name :)
See http://bit.ly/17HQwNI (on the first page)(if for some reason the link doesn't work, google "graham chapter 39: newer methods for valuing growth stocks") and
http://bit.ly/11fpeL5 (control f "concentration," in that paragraph), Graham seems to have been heavily invested in GEICO.
It looks like later in his career, he was influenced by one stock ... GEICO. Not many GEICO's out there. ... Ha!
"for value investors, it makes sense to hold less positions, because there will be a point where the quality of "margin of safety" will drop, thereby raising the risk profile."
Robert, that margin of safety refers to those who worry about share price, not those who buy quality companies at a good price and hold them as long as the company's fundamentals remain in play.
"Wall Street has done a wonderful job of conditioning our minds to always be cognizant of share price."
Yield Hunter, if one is in need of the money in the near future, then it shouldn't be invested in something where they are concerned about the share price.

Great post! I like the idea of keeping a notebook/ excel to track dividend announcements. Going to implement that right away.
Chowder, everything you wrote makes perfect sense.
An interesting aside: I haven't looked at my quote tracker since the market opened. The market is now closed. I see where the DOW was down 81 points and the S&P 500 down 10 points.
I am still in "price rehab" but it was an eye opener that "price stability" is not the issue. I guess I was foolish enough to believe there was some sort of stability in that when I first got going and that is why I lost a lot.. It really isn't stability of price but stability of company and dividend that is important. Thank you for helping me see this and the flight to quality as much as possible. How to find continuing companies that will be that stable in the future I think is what I will focus on from now on. This is really becoming an education for me. Thank you.
>>> What is the 'tape'? <<<
Here's the wikipedia page on ticker tape:
Without the ticker and the tape, how would New York have ticker tape parades? Lots of other terms become obsolete over time. Eventually no one will know the meaning of clockwise as digital displays replace old circular clock faces. My laptop has a "return" key, but there is no carriage to return. How many kids no what carbon paper is for?
Great article. Because I have different stocks in different accounts I put them all into one Portfolio here on SA. That way I can check what they are doing for the day, or their performance over a period of time.
I usually scan the list in the morning for heads up on any big changes that need looking into. I also use a program I've come to really like called StockMarketEye. It does a lot of the work for me - downloads input from the brokerage. Thank you for your articles. I like your laid back style.
I use a quote tracker by Med-Ved. It is or was available through TD Ameritrade.
Great insights and advice in this article. One day I'll be skilled at managing portfolios. For now, I rely on luck and jumping the gun. That said, I consider myself more of a trader than an investor.
Chowder ---
I am always in the mood to learn something new and improve my investing techniques.
My early mentor was Bill Staton and his "America's Finest Companies". I liked him but he is no longer as active as he once was.
I am intrigued with your approach and, as you can see, now am trying to bring myself up-to-date on your prior writings.
I am pleased with what I see. Thank you.

No Reason To Care
No Reason To Care (9/4/94 / Somewhere)
Comments about No Reason To Care
Break Her Heart
I told her you'd leave breaking her heart
But she just said 'no we shall never part! '
As she walked away and left behind her dread
I secretly wished that you were dead
And had never come into her life
Making me feel pains just like the blade of a knife
I told her you'd leave without saying good bye
But she just saw it as a lie.
I sat back and watched as you destroyed her life

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits
On October 19, 2012, NetScout Systems, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an Executive Employment Transition Agreement with David Sommers, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Company. The agreement provides for the following:
1. Continuation of Mr. Sommers's title and current base salary through March 31, 2013, as well as the opportunity to receive a bonus with respect to the 2013 fiscal year, as determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee (collectively, the "Board").
2. From April 1, 2013 through March 31, 2015 (the "End of the Term"), Mr. Sommers will continue to be employed by the Company under the title "Advisor to the CEO" and shall receive a base salary equal to 50% of his current base salary. Mr. Sommers will not be eligible for a cash performance bonus for the 2014 fiscal year or the 2015 fiscal year.
3. In the event that we terminate Mr. Sommers's employment other than for Cause, or he resigns for Good Reason, as each of those terms are defined in the agreement, the Company will pay him (or his estate or heirs) any accrued and unpaid base salary, reimburse him for any business expenses, and pay him for any accrued and unused vacation benefits earned through the date of termination, less standard deductions and withholding. In addition, if Mr. Sommers signs a general release of claims in a form acceptable to us, then Mr. Sommers will be entitled to the following:
• a cash severance amount equal to base salary that would have otherwise been paid to Mr. Sommers from the date of termination through the End of the Term, which severance would be paid in equal installments over the severance period in accordance with our usual payroll schedule;
• any stock options or restricted stock units that would have vested on or prior to the End of the Term shall vest immediately;
• if Mr. Sommers timely elects continued coverage under COBRA under the Company's group health plans, then the Company shall pay the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Mr. Sommers's health insurance coverage in effect for himself on the termination date until the earliest of (i) the End of the Term or (ii) the date when he becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment. If Mr. Sommers ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage or if at any time the Company determines that its payment of COBRA premiums on his behalf would result in a violation of applicable law, then in lieu of paying COBRA premiums, we will thereafter pay Mr. Sommers a monthly, fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premium for such month, subject to applicable tax withholding.
• if Mr. Sommers's employment is terminated prior to the Board's determination of his 2013 fiscal year bonus, then he will receive, in a lump sum, an amount equal to the maximum 2013 fiscal year bonus and if Mr. Sommers's employment is terminated after the Board's determination of his 2013 fiscal year bonus, but prior to the payment of such bonus, Mr. Sommers will receive the bonus amount so determined by the Board.
This agreement replaces and supersedes the Company's existing change of control and severance agreement with Mr. Sommers.
(d) Exhibits.
The Company hereby files the following exhibit:
10.1 Executive Employment Transition Agreement, dated October 19, 2012, by and between the Company and David Sommers. (filed herewith)

So, if you navigate to E:\photos with the file manager, do you see an empty directory? or are the picture files there? If you see them, what exactly happens when you click on a picture file?

Facebook's got a fresh update for its main iOS app, and version 5.4 has some pleasant additions coming your way. The social network is throwing in the ability to send voice messages (which has been available on Android for a little over a week, and on iOS through Messenger) and share video recordings directly through the app, and it's also enhanced functionality in the Nearby tab as well. We're still all waiting impatiently for Graph Search on the mobile front, but we can at least enjoy some new ways of showing the world what we're up to.

buy a doppler!!!! that way you can hear the heartbeat whenever you are worried. you can even rent one monthly if your budget is tight. i have a sonoline b and it was $55 on ebay and works perfectly!
Plus, babies are most active usually during the time we're asleep.....I wouldn't stress. They say it's really only an issue after 25 weeks.
During my first pregnancy at 18 weeks I only felt baby sometimes, maybe all day one day and then not for the whole next day! It really scared me so I bought a doppler! It helped ease my mind I dodn't feel baby regularly until sometime after 21 weeks. I am now 21 weeks with my second and I will go all day without feeling baby move if it's sleeping and normally only feel it at night.
I'll be 19 weeks on Monday and I haven't felt anything yet. I find the heartbeat easily on my doppler though, so I'm not concerned.

UWM's "Book of Rhymes" features nationally-known poets
In its second season, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's annual open-mic talent show, "Book of Rhymes," is growing into one of the city's best poetry and song showcases. This year's event features two nationally recognized artists: comedian, poet and singer Spoken Reason, and UW poet Jasmine Mans.
Mans, 21, shot to stardom in 2010 after her now-infamous performance of the poem "Nicki Minaj" at the school's "Stomp Da Madness" event. Her fiery critique of the rap star sparked a massive online debate, and the video became an Internet sensation, garnering the sociology major national attention and 500,000 views on YouTube. »Read Full Article
Revelers from far and near savor Harley-Davidson anniversary's waning days
For bikers and bipeds alike, the Juneau Ave. block party on Sunday offered the perfect formula to wrap up Harley-Davidson's 110th anniversary festival: lots of chrome, leather, loud music and laughs.
Near perfect weather didn't hurt, either, as people packed patios and picnic tables to have a few beers and listen to live music. »Read Full Article(27)

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
Delegate list: Nancy Clement (Greater Lafayette), Nichole Etcheson (Muncie-Delaware Co.), Alice Phillips, Christina Sharp, Gail Pebworth (Montgomery Co.), Erin Kelley, Rhea Cain, Sarah Halter (Indianapolis), Oscar Anderson (Montgomery Co.), Barb Reed (Cass Co.), Judith Kratzner (Knox Co.), and Lisa Plencner (South Bend).
High Impact Visibility Award: The LWV of Montgomery County won!
LWVUS Bylaw Changes:
Article III, Section 2, Types of Membership has been amended to now read (changes in bold):
"A. Voting Members. Persons at least 16 years of age who join the League shall be voting members of local Leagues, state Leagues, and of the LWVUS; (1) THOSE who live within an area of a local League may join that League or any other local League; (2) those who reside outside the area of any local League may join a local League or shall be state members-at-large; (3) those who have been members of the League for 50 years or more shall be life members excused from the payment of dues."
Since all state and local LWVs must share the first three articles in common with the LWVUS, state and local LWVs do not need to vote on these changes. Rather, as an administrative matter, they need to update their bylaws immediately.
LWVUS Concurrences:
Position on Redistricting
The LWVUS has adopted a redistricting position that state Leagues can use to enhance their own redistricting positions. The newly adopted position "does not supersede any existing state League redistricting position" and will greatly help the 10 state LWVs currently lacking a redistricting position. (See page 32 of the convention workbook.)
Behavioral Health
The LWVUS Health Care position has been amended to include the following as the second sentence under Basic Level of Quality Care:
"Every U.S. resident should have access to affordable, quality in- and out- patient behavioral health care, including needed medications and supportive services that is integrated with, and achieves parity with, physical health care."
LWVUS Speaker Highlights YouTube videos of all the major speakers at Convention can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/LeagueofWomenVoters
Speakers included the following and several more: Chris Carson + newly elected LWVUS president Wylecia Wiggs Harris + new LWVUS CEO Celinda Lake + "Messaging for Impact: What Resonates with Voters in 2016" Ari Berman + Keynote address on the history of the Voting Rights Act Jennifer Lawless + "Engaging Millennials in our Elections" Keisha Gaskins + "Understanding and Telling the Story of Impact for Democracy with Data"
Another special highlight is the video submitted by the LWVIN for the Convention's "Roll Call of States." This video highlights the important work our members are doing on redistricting reform. You can view it at our brand new YouTube page!
LWVIN Council was held on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at the Prindle Institute at DePauw University in Greencastle.
LWVIN business, such as the election of new officers and approval of the 2016-17 budget was addressed, and the focus of the day was on grassroots advocacy and how we can work more effectively to make an impact. Featured training included a session with Lisa Marchal, Senior Global Grassroots Associate with RESULTS, on how to craft an effective story, build legislative relationships, and get the most out of our communications. We also spent time reviewing the Indiana General Assembly website and how to track LWV legislative priorities.
The entire Council packet can be accessed here
Thank you to our local members from around the State who were able to represent the League at this event.
League members spent the day learning from each other's successes, how other organizations prioritize and strategize for success, and how to maximize visibility and impact through intentional event planning and community collaborations.

By Jonathan Zimmerman
In August 1937, Good Housekeeping ran an article titled "Why Is a Vacation?" The short answer was to obtain rest, the magazine advised, "and the best way to do that is to work hard at something that is enjoyable."
And that tells you all you need to know about the Great American Vacation. More than 70 Augusts later, we're still working hard to relax. And, more often than not, we're falling down on the job.
The problem dates back to our Puritan forebears, who drew a sharp distinction between recreation (good) and amusement (bad). "A recreation is something which recruits, restores, and prepares the man for better service," a New England newspaper explained in 1851, two centuries after the Puritans landed on these shores. Amusement, by contrast, was "pleasure for pleasure's sake." That was taboo.

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - Bar Ilan University researchers are perfecting mini-robots that would protect Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops patrolling enemy borders.
Dr. Gal Kaminka and Professor Sarit Kraus, who work in the university's computer sciences department, displayed their proteges at an academic science fair this week.
Equipped with various sensors, warning systems and video ability, the vacuum-sized robots work as a team to patrol an area.
According to Kaminka, the enemy would be hard pressed to access the robots' security network or predict their next move.
"The integration of robots in the military has been worked on for years, and we see only small, pilot-less planes that don't have to deal with difficult terrain," Kaminka said.
"Now these robots are an important step in integrating land robots that will save manpower in the military," he said.
The Defense Ministry provided the funding to develop the robots.

Ever wondered what an Intrepid sailing trip looks like? (video)
Sailing isn't like it was in the old days. Rates of scurvy have declined. Peg legs are few. No-one really knows what 'hardtack' is anymore. On the whole, things have improved.
5 reasons you should try a sailing adventure
Sailing used to be the domain of three types of people; pirates, the super-rich, and the hardcore adventure junkies. Not anymore.
7 reasons Sardinia is Europe's hottest new sailing destination
Johnny Depp gets it. When his character Jack Sparrow stood at the helm of the Black Pearl and said 'Bring me that horizon', he was talking about the sailor's endless quest for new waters and unchartered shores (or at least shores unchartered by most major cruise liners).
Sailing in Myeik, the 800-island archipelago no-one has ever heard of
It's known as the Mergui or Myeik archipelago, a collection of 800 jungle-covered islands off the southern coast of Myanmar (Burma). It's okay if you haven't heard of it. Until a few years ago hardly anyone had.
"We need very little to be really happy" and other life lessons learned sailing the Aegean
Giorgos leads an interesting life. His job is to take a rag-tag bunch of travellers, put them on a 50-foot single-hulled yacht and sail them across the Aegean Sea (preferably into some sort of dramatic sunset).
10 of the world's best island getaways: how to decide which one is for you
It's the age-old question: if you were stranded on a deserted island, what would you take with you? There are an infinite number of answers to this, ranging from the practical (A book called 'How to build a raft') to the short-sighted (My PS4, bro!).
The 12 best travel challenges for 2015
The New Year at Intrepid means one thing: new challenges. But that's a little vague, right? I mean, how exactly will you challenge yourself this year?
I'm on a boat: the Intrepid guide to sailing like a pro
There are a lot of myths about sailing the high seas. Some people think you need to know the nautical names of every sheet (sorry, ropey thing) and smell of seaweed all day, others reckon you can only do it on a giant cruise ship with four cinemas and a pants-exploding buffet station.
Cruising the continent: we reveal Europe's hottest sailing destinations
When sailing in Europe, you have to slap yourself every once in a while to make sure you haven't stumbled into a cliché.
The Galapagos Islands: where wildlife abounds
The term 'trip of a lifetime' gets bandied about a lot these days, possibly too freely, but for Lee Bethune travelling to the Galapagos Islands lived up to the expectations that comes with such an assured claim…
"Over 1000km west of the mainland of Ecuador, I thought there would have to be something special and there was… it was the Galapagos Islands.

JAMESTOWN — The referee signals for a touchdown in football and a three-pointer in basketball are the same. And don't the Randolph Cardinals know it.
Randolph, with a roster loaded with members of its two-time state championship football team, hit eight three-pointers during a football-tough performance as the Cardinals beat Maple Grove, 50-44, in Friday night's Section VI Class C-2 championship.
In the second of two Class C finals before an estimated 1,800 at Jamestown Community College's Physical Education Complex, a program that is also very familiar with championships earned itself another one.
Middle Early College won its third straight Section VI Class C-1 title and its fourth in the last five years as it overwhelmed Silver Creek, 64-51. Senior forward Bri'an Brown scored 24 points and senior guard Kevin Briggs had 19 as the Kats took a 39-28 halftime lead and flirted with a 20-point lead the rest of the night.
Middle Early College (16-5) and Randolph (15-6) will play for the overall Class C championship at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Buffalo State.
"It's seniors – a lot of seniors, and they want to win," said Middle Early College coach Randy Rich, whose program won a state championship in 2010. "They went out and they were not going to be denied tonight and they played their game. If we play our game, I think we're pretty good."
Some Kats players had some revenge on their mind against Silver Creek (12-9), which beat Middle College in last year's overall Class C final (Silver Creek was a C-2 school last year).
"We couldn't wait to get them back," said Briggs. "This was a revenge game, but we've got to keep going, there are more games to go, more tests."
The 6-foot-4 Brown was often overpowering near the basket and hit several short jumpers, while the 5-10 Briggs had two three-pointers during a very solid game running the point. The Kats also concentrated on going right at Silver Creek standout 6-7 senior Bill Brooks (13 points), and they successfully fouled him out with 4:57 left in the game, at which point they had a 59-39 lead.
For Randolph, the success of the football team permeated the school's first sectional title since 2009 and what was a second sectional title this school year for several players.
Senior Mitch Maycock, the quarterback on the football team, had four three-pointers and 13 points, while junior Bryce Morrison, who caught many passes from Maycock at receiver, had 14 points and two threes for the Cardinals.
"It's amazing – no one expects us to do it in basketball," said Morrison. "They all expect state champs in football, that's what the town wants. Now we're adding another sport, it's a great feeling."
Randolph, which has won the last two Class D state titles in football (the state has different classification guidelines for different sports, thus the Cardinals are in different classes in the two), took a 26-15 halftime lead and maintained a double-digit lead for much of the second half before a late flurry by Maple Grove.
Cody Oldro, a 6-3 senior who was a first-team All-Western New York lineman in football, scored eight points, all on four second-half baskets that helped the Cardinals maintain their lead. Maycock's fourth three of the game gave Randolph a 43-31 lead with 3:30 left. Maple Grove (12-9), which also hit eight threes, had three of them in the final 90 seconds.

Marketing & Competitive IntelligenceStrategy, Training, Analysis & Research.
Marketing & Competitive IntelligenceStrategy, Training, Analysis & Research.
To ensure survival, businesses need to plan. They need to anticipate the future and prepare for events that could happen.
Classical approaches to forecasting include trend analysis using moving averages, for example. These assume that business will continue in a similar fashion to the past - extrapolating from the present to the future. Unfortunately the future is not this predictable - especially when you need to think five, ten or more years ahead. And businesses often do need to plan this far ahead - whether it is looking at a new lease on a building, or planning for the expiry of a patent.
With the speed that technology is changing it is becoming difficult to think of how things will be even three or four years into the future, never mind further forward. All that one can say for certain is that tomorrow will not be the same as today.
Scenario Planning is a tool that enables organizations to look at the factors impacting their business and its environment. It uses these factors to construct pictures or scenarios of possible and plausible futures and these are then used to prepare and plan for what could happen.
More and more companies are including scenario plans as a key element of their long-term strategic planning. Companies using the technique have reported remarkable successes - Shell, for example, has used scenarios for many years, and predicted the Oil Crisis of the 1970s, and the changes that took place prior and immediately after the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
As another example, AWARE's managing director, Arthur Weiss, first looked at the implications of the World Wide Web and the Internet in 1993 - just over a couple of years after it's invention by Tim Berners Lee in mid-1991. We launched our web site in June 1995 as a result. AWARE is thus one of the oldest companies to have a web presence - we had a web site well before more than 95% of all other companies world-wide. You may be using Internet Explorer or Firefox to view our pages. When we launched, Netscape Navigator v1.0 was the only commercial web browser - we were there before even Microsoft had realised the commercial significance of the web. We practice what we preach - and anticipate future markets in our own planning processes.
AWARE can help you anticipate the future by training your staff in the scenario planning technique. We can also work alongside you in drafting up scenarios for your industry, business and for competitors. We offer organizations support in all aspects of scenario planning:
If you would like to know more about scenario planning, we have prepared a paper on the topic which you can download from our white paper request pages.

Word Up: The One-Word Inspiration Behind the Collections
We asked designers for just one word to describe spring 2009. The results are comical, endearing, puzzling, and enlightening.By Sharon Clott and Amina Akhtar

Also, Calvin Klein menswear will walk in New York in February, Giorgio Armani designs a bullfighting outfit, and Janice Dickinson flashes.
Also, a new lip gloss comes with teeth whitener, a new soap mimics chocolate but costs far more, and ice cubes make hair shiny.
The Rock & Republic designer gladly extended an open bar out of his own pocket at the Beatrice Inn last night, and, well, things got a little crazy.
It's a bad sign that the first thing we wondered while trying to make our way into the Rock & Republic show tonight was, "Is this the new Heatherette?" The answer is not quite, if only because the show didn't feature the campy deliciousness of assless pants.
Backstage at Rock & Republic on Saturday, model May Andersen talked with New York's Jada Yuan about anger management, annoying stewardesses, and, of course, skinny models. Thin models, says May, are getting lumped together with anorexic models a completely different breed: "You're always going to have girls that are starving themselves, and that's not naturally skinny girls' faults." Of course not. Watch the video.
New York's cameras were up front at the Rock & Republic after-party on Saturday night to capture British rapper Lady Sovereign's take on the Sex Pistols "Pretty Vacant." Our hearts belong to Johnny Rotten, but Lady S. adds some Fashion Week irony the original never even saw coming. Watch more Fall 2007 Fashion Week videos.

Daisy Lowe
DJ/Music Producer Mark Ronson and Model Girlfriend Split
Originally posted 09/15/2008 12:40PM
Mark Ronson, the DJ music producer and brother of Lindsay Lohan's gal pal Samantha Ronson, has split from his girlfriend, model Daisy Lowe, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Reps for Lowe and Ronson declined to give a reason why the pair ended their relationship after about six months.
Lowe, 19, has returned to London for a week of fashion shows. She was seen with Ronson last week at a bash to celebrate his 33rd birthday at a country home in Buckinghamshire, in the English countryside. But they parted in New York where she was working at the city's fashion week, and where Ronson has a home.

text: I collected the rolex replica sale this last Monday when I returned to the country. I noticed today that the strap doesn't quite match the watch case in colour or quality, but more seriously the strap clasp does not have the "rolex" inscription on it. Although you clearly show it on your last photograph. I am extremely disappointed to say the least and ask you now what you can do to rectify the situation. These are the best photos that I could take. I hope that they show up the problems ok. You can see that the strap of this rolex replica sale looks different even on the photo's though, and of course there is no inscription. For the record as well, the strap is very difficult to open, you can see from the photo that there is no side clasp of the rolex replica sale. To open it, you have to get a strong finger nail in between the two 'fastening' bits and hope that the clasp gives way before your finger nail breaks. Is this really correct? I cannot imagine that the replica watches sale has the same operation. I have looked through your other replica watches sale (LV277's) and see that some have a different (and better) clasp fitted. Please can I ask why hasn't my replica watches sale got this better clasp? Great looking watch but spoiled by the manufacturer at your end cutting corners, and costs! I've had a good look through your website again though and have to say that I bought the only replica rolex sale that I wanted already. And I expected this one to last me as long as the last one. So I don't really know when I could take you up on your offer. I don't tend to wear more than watch at a time. Is there no chance please that you could get me a replacement strap that I could fit, and then send this one back? Or possibly couldn't you offer me a discount on this watch, please? Again, lovely watch, great value, and a great website as well of course. You didn't say if you could give me a discount on the replica rolex sale I've already bought. Please can you reply on that. Also, if I was to choose another watch, how long is your offer open for, (ie, how long can I take to choose another replica rolex sale, and also if I did, how would this work? Would I choose and then order it from you or from the website, and if so, how would the discount work? I assume the discount would be on the delivery charge as well. I assume you cannot give me a discount on the replica rolex sale that I have already bought. You didn't answer that question! Also, please can you say how long the offer is for? I asked this before but you didn't say. If I didn't want to order for a few months, say? And also, very important, you have already offered me 30% (not 20%) discount in your email of 14th February, see below. So I assume that is still the case. For the record, I have broken three nails so far opening this strap. It is not getting easier with time so far!!

After 60 years of service there is still much to do, NAACP officials said, and to help do it they were asking for more than just funds at their annual freedom fund banquet.
Linda Vaughn, chairwoman of fund raising of the Amarillo branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, estimated that more than 350 people attended the Dr. R.W. Jones Freedom Fund Banquet on Saturday night, celebrating 60 years of NAACP work in Amarillo, where they heard pleas for commitments of funds and time. She estimated that the organization made about $7,000 on the banquet and hoped to raise another $2,000 to $3,000 from pledges.
"We hope that before another 60 years passes, organizations like the NAACP will not be needed," Vaughan said. "But at this time, they are."
Alphonso Vaughn, president of the Amarillo NAACP, said this branch services 54 counties, and the funds raised go to scholarships, training, housing projects and legal redress, and they have to last until this time next year.
To help loosen the purse strings, Ann Boney, president of the Brazos County NAACP branch and Amarillo native, gave the night's keynote speech on banquet theme of "Don't talk about it, be about it."
"I tell you, for 94 years the NAACP has been your dog," Boney said. "When you couldn't find opportunity, NAACP was your bloodhound - we sniffed it out. When you couldn't see it, we were your seeing-eye dog. And sometimes you just needed a dog to stand around and look big and bad, and we were your Doberman pinscher.
"Some folks talk about NAACP now (and ask) ... 'Why don't you bark like you used to?' I come to tell you, you're asking the wrong question. The right question is, 'Have you fed your dog lately?"'
Boney said next year will mark the 50th anniversary of Brown vs. the Board of Education, the Supreme Court case that led to the desegregation of schools, but she said the United States was still graduating less than 70 percent of black students.
"We don't have time to talk about it," she said. "We need to be about it."
The organization also used the event to recognize people who were doing just that. The Rev. Nathaniel Cantly of North Heights Church of Christ received the Lifetime Achievement Award, and local attorney John Broadfoot was given the Dr. R.W. Jones Freedom Fund Award, the highest award given by the Amarillo branch.

Continuing a Thread of Innovation with Performance Fibers
DuPont continues to develop innovative high performance fibers - working with manufacturers and designers to develop materials that can be used to protect people and equipment, and lower carbon footprint.
DuPont has been the world leader in polymer and textile science since the early 1900s and has continued a legacy of innovation in performance fibers.
Manufacturers, mills, and designers look for fibers to protect people and machinery, provide stronger and lighter weight reinforcements, and design with high performing eco-friendly materials. We collaborate and innovate with customers using performance fibers such as; DuPont™ Kevlar® for ballistic protection, cut protection and strength reinforcement; DuPont™ Nomex® flame resistant fiber for protective apparel, automotive components, composite and filtration applications, and electrical paper used in transformers, motors and generators; and DuPont™ Sorona® , an innovative carpet, apparel and automotive interior eco-fiber that offers reduced dependence on fossil fuels and a reduced environmental footprint.
Whether it's protecting firefighters, industrial workers, police officers and military forces, helping engines and generators operate at high temperature, or providing comfort, stretch, and softness to clothing, DuPont performance fibers are the extraordinary thread that impacts our lives..
- Military Body Armor
- Aerospace, Marine, & Rail
- Kevlar® for stronger Brake Pads, Clutches and Gaskets
Sorona® for Automotive Carpet
When the design objective is durable, beautiful, fast-drying, stain-resistant automotive carpet, the more sustainable alternative to petroleum-based products is DuPont™ Sorona®. High-performance Sorona® fiber contains 37% renewably-sourced, plant-based content by weight and consumes less non-renewable energy during manufacture than nylon 6.
Sorona® for Casual Wear
DuPont™ Sorona® enhances casual wear fabrics when blended with both man-made fibers like polyester and natural textiles like cotton, wool, and linen.
- Sorona® Soft Fabric for Intimate Apparel
- Sorona® for Performance Fabrics
- DuPont™ Sorona® for Stretch Denim
Sorona® for Uniform Fabric
DuPont™ Sorona® fiber enhances wool and cotton, for a soft uniform fabric that dries quickly, stretches comfortably, and recovers its shape beautifully. And Sorona® is 37% renewably sourced, which means workwear manufacturers now have a renewable uniform fabric option.
Sorona® Snaps Coat Fabric Into Shape
DuPont™ Sorona® enhances casual wear fabrics when blended with both man-made fibers like polyester and natural textiles like cotton, wool, and linen.
Sorona® for Chlorine-Resistant Swimwear
For high-performance, brightly colored chlorine-resistant swimwear, DuPont™ Sorona® is the perfect choice. It allows designers to combine all the performance and comfort benefits consumers want with vivid colors and crisp prints for greater design options.
- Sorona® for Sustainable Sarees
- Second Chance Introduces One of the Thinnest & Most Flexible Vests
- Vehicle Safety Solutions
- Alternative Drive Vehicles
- DuPont Bio-Based Products
- How DuPont™ Sorona® is Made
- DuPont Industrial Biotech Solutions
Triexta, Generic in Name Only
Specific performance benefits, including stain resistance, are so unique to DuPont™ Sorona®, the U.S. FTC gave the generic name triexta to homo fibers made from PTT, the Sorona® renewably sourced polymer.
- How DuPont™ Sorona® is Made
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 for Sorona®
- Jonäno Innovative Fabric and Sorona®
Sorona® and Bio-Based Product Labels
The USDA BioPreferred Certification of DuPont™ Sorona® means manufacturers can offer innovative products that customers can readily identify. Innovative products help reduce the use of fossil fuels and help reduce emissions.
Carpet Design and Sorona®
Renewably Sourced™ DuPont™ Sorona® is opening up new possibilities for carpet design. Durable and color-fast, with permanent stain resistance built right into the fiber, the Sorona® carpet design option is also the right choice in terms of performance.

Famous Mormons Actors, Producers and More
Dean Jagger
In 1940, he played the title character in Brigham Young Frontiersman. In 1949, he won the Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role in Twelve O'clock High. In 1954, he played the beloved General Waverly in White Christmas. In 1964, he won an Emmy Award for his role as Principal Albert Vane on the TV series Mr. Novak. (He won again in 1965.)
In 1972, he was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the time, one newspaper headline read Brigham Young' Becomes a Mormon. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to motion pictures, at 1725 Vine Street.
Gordon Jump
Alexander Gordon Jump April 1, 1932 - September 22, 2003 Gordon is best known as the clueless radio station manager Arthur "Big Guy" Carlson in the TV series WKRP in Cincinnati and the incompetent "Chief of Police Tinkler" in the sitcom Soap. He also played the "Maytag Repairman" in commercials for Maytag brand appliances.
Though he began with roles at small theaters in California, it was at the Hales' Glendale Theater when he was in a play about Mormons that he began to have questions about religion. The Hales' son-in-law Alan Dietlein gave him a copy of LeGrand Richards' A Marvelous Work and a Wonder, and Gordon was converted.
