Bryan Mark Rigg
Bryan Mark Rigg (born March 16, 1971) is an American author and speaker who received his Ph.D. from Cambridge University. He is based at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Rigg discovered a large number of "Mischlinge" (part-Jews) who were members of the National Socialist German Workers Party (or "Nazi" Party) and/or served in the German Armed Forces during World War Two.
His work has been featured in The New York Times and on programs including NBC Dateline and Fox News. Reared as a Baptist Christian, he discovered he was of Jewish descent, converted to Judaism and served as a volunteer in the Israeli Army. He also later served as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.
His assembled documents, videotapes, and wartime memoirs on the subject are presented as the Bryan Mark Rigg Collection at the Military Archives branch of the Federal German Archives (Bundesarchiv) in Freiburg, Germany.
His book Hitler's Jewish Soldiers earned him the Colby Award (for first books in military history) in 2003.
Born and reared as a Baptist,[1] Rigg studied at Phillips Exeter Academy, continued on to Yale University, and received his B.A. in 1996. He received a grant from the Henry Fellowship, to continue his studies in Cambridge University. That summer he went to Germany, and met Peter Millies, an elderly man who helped Rigg understand the German in a movie they were watching, Europa Europa, about Shlomo Perl, a full Jew who "hid in plain sight" in the Nazi army, posing as a Volksdeutsche orphan named Josef Peters. Millies later told Rigg that he himself was a part-Jew, and introduced him to the subject which was to become his main research topic for many years.[2]
Back at Cambridge, Rigg offered the subject as his thesis, but was rejected on the grounds that it was "dead end science". Upon insisting, he finally received a year off, and small funding from Cambridge for a research trip back to Germany, under Professor Jonathan Steinberg. Steinberg contacted the media about the future research, which caused much debate about the scientific value of the outcome.[3] During this year, traveling under harsh conditions on bicycle throughout Germany, he gathered over four hundred recorded interviews, with "Mischling"s of this sort. He also discovered that he had Jewish origins. He followed up on the trip to Sweden, Turkey, Canada, and finally Israel.
He identifies himself today as Jewish,[4] and studied in Israel at the "Ohr Sameach" yeshiva. He also joined a short volunteer program at the Israeli army.[5]
Rigg has done humanitarian activities in Romania, Bulgaria, the Bahamas, South Africa, and France.[6]
His discoveries and writings have been used both by Holocaust researchers,[7] as well as Holocaust denial and anti-Zionist groups.[8][9]
Recent activities[edit]
After serving as an officer in the US Marine Corps, he became a professor at Southern Methodist University and American Military University from 2000 to 2006.[10]
According to the German Academic Exchange Service, he worked in the Private Banking Division of Credit Suisse as a Private Wealth Manager from 2006 to 2008.[11] He has set up his own firm called RIGG Wealth Management.[citation needed]
His books were published in 2002 (Hitlers Jewish Soldiers), 2006 (Rescued from the Reich) and 2009 (Lives of Hitler's Jewish Soldiers).[12]
David Cesarani, professor for Jewish history in Southampton, England, and Raul Hilberg, emeritus of the University of Vermont judge Rigg's work negatively, because they believe Rigg's thesis is presented in a sensationalistic and unbalanced way.
Some scholars also resent that Rigg tried to gain public attention when his work was still in an early stage. Other scholars, like Richard J. Evans, history professor in Cambridge, and Omer Bartov, history professor at Brown University, consider the titles of Rigg's books, such as Hitler's Jewish Soldiers, misleading, because the books are not about Jews as the term is commonly understood, but in almost all cases about Mischlinge ("half-"Jews and "quarter-"Jews) as defined by the Nuremberg laws but not according to Jewish religious law.[13] The few exceptions, like Shlomo Perl (see above), were crypto-Jews hiding behind 'Aryan' assumed identities.

Breath of the bumble bee.
The yogic term is Bhramari pranayama, sometimes called the humming bee breath.
Sit in a comfortable position with your spine lovely and straight (DO NOT LIE DOWN). Let your hands just relax into your lap, chin is parallel to the ground, mouth is closed, teeth are slightly open.Take a few normal deep breaths like this.
Now, you can either bring your hands to prayer position at the heart centre or, lifting your arms with your elbows out wide gently use the index finger to press on the little fleshy flaps of skin around the ear, so closing the ear. Take a long breath out and then a long relaxed breath in (DON'T STRAIN THE BREATH). Then on the outbreath, in a controlled manner, make a humming sound like a bumble bee. The humming needs to be soft and controlled, just gently vibrating the brain and forehead. Try to bring your attention to the Ajna Chakra (directly in the middle of the eybrows... the third eye). Exhale all the breath while humming... this is one round.
Repeat for 5 rounds to start, when you're comfortable with it, move to ten rounds and build up eventually to 10/15 minutes.
Contraindications. Don't practice if you have an ear infection and if you have heart disease, never retain the breath.
Benefits. Bumble bee breath relieves stress and tension in the head. It helps alleviate anger and anxiety and is good for insomnia and it can also reduce high blood pressure. It strengthens the voice and throat (great for singers!). It also speeds up the body's healing process if it's used for up to 30 mins at a time (especially after an operation).
Have fun, remember to keep it light, don't strain too much or try to make people in the next room hear you!

A mixed message.
That's what was sent out by the league's coaches in the selection of the Western Conference reserves for the 2012 All-Star Game.
Game in and game out, from coast to coast, on every court in every arena, in every nook and cranny of the league, coaches preach that results matter, not reputations.
Then they mostly chose familiar big names over raw results when adding Dallas' Dirk Nowizki, Phoenix' Steve Nash and San Antonio's Tony Parker to the West roster. It will be Nowitzki's 11th consecutive All-Star appearance, the eighth of Nash's career and fourth for Parker.
Joining that gray-bearded, grizzled threesome with a combined 41 NBA seasons between them are LaMarcus Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, Kevin Love of the Timberwolves, Russell Westbrook of the Thunder and Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies. Aldridge and Gasol will be making their All-Star debuts, while Westbrook and Love will play for the second time.
But experience counts. That seems to be the point hammered home by the coaches' selections that overlooked at least a handful of worthy candidates:
• Kyle Lowry, Houston -- He's the only player in the league averaging as much at 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game. But he is toiling for a Houston team that lacks overall star power.
• Monta Ellis, Golden State -- He ranks sixth in the league in scoring with an average of 22.6 points a game and carried the Warriors' offensive load when Stephen Curry was sidelined with an ankle injury. But he plays for a team with a losing record.
• Rudy Gay, Memphis -- He's the leading scorer for a Grizzlies team that has battled to keep their heads above water ever since big man Zach Randolph went down with torn knee ligaments. Despite the fact that he has lifted his level of play, Gay seems to have lost out to his teammate Gasol.
• Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson, Utah -- The Jazz have hit a rough patch lately, but the pair of big men have performed strong and consistently all season in keeping coach Ty Corbin's team firmly in the Western Conference mix.
• Danilo Gallinari and Ty Lawson, Denver -- Until dropping six of seven games over the past two weeks, the Nuggets were a huge success story holding down the No. 2 seed in the West. Gallinari's shooting percentage is down, but he's been all over the floor doing everything. Lawson was the one with his foot down on the accelerator of the offense over the first month. Yet the Nuggets were not recognized at all.
For Aldridge, the recognition comes a year after he first deserved a spot on the West roster. But that's when he learned about the politics of the voting and getting snubbed.
The only reason Love is a reserve and not a starter is because the fan voting rewarded the slam-bang flash and slam dunks of the Blake Griffin in the starting lineup.
Westbrook is a no-brainer, riding shotgun with Thunder teammate (and West starter) Kevin Durant, while ranking eighth in scoring a 22.3 points a game.
Marc Gasol has done yeoman work in the middle, averaging 15.2 points and 10 rebounds and rung up 14 double-doubles on the season. Coincidentally, that's the same number of double-doubles accumulated by his older brother Pau Gasol, who also was left off team.
On different levels, the selections of Parker, Nash and Nowitzki ran the gamut from surprising to downright shocking. That is especially so after Nowitzki said just recently that he didn't think he belonged on the team.
Though he has come on strong of late, Nowitzki's 17.6 scoring average is his lowest since the 1999-2000 season, his second in the league.
Nash, who turned 38 this week, seemed to join Nowitzki in getting a lifetime achievement award. He is averaging 15.1 points and leading the league with 10 assists per game, but plays for a worse team than Lowry's Rockets.
Parker had said he was disappointed that he didn't make the team a year ago in Los Angeles, because he'd wanted to join his San Antonio teammates Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich. The three-time former NBA champion likely surged to his spot on the team with his play of late. He's average 28.4 points over the Spurs' past five games and, with Ginobili out and Duncan's minutes being capped, he has carried the Spurs to the second-best record (18-9) in the West.
While it's hard to say that names such as Nowitzki, Nash and Parker don't conjure up All-Star images, in the end the coaches proved themselves no more resistible to names and reputations as the fans in delivering their mixed message.

This review is from: Destiny - PlayStation 4
Pros: - The game can be fun
- It plays like halo
- Coopertive online play
- Decent graphics
- Multiplayer is fun
Cons: - Extremely repetitive
- You have to buy great loot with at least 3 different currencies and rank high with your faction.
- To rank up in your faction you have to grind for DAYS/WEEKS in order to finally start buying legendary gear.
- Great loot does not drop from enemies, quests, or chest enough to justify incentive to play the game.
- Little to no story
- Recycling of areas and missions
- The DLC barely adds anything to justify a 20 dollar price tag and more areas are re-used.
Other Thoughts: It's not so much about what this game is, but rather, what bungie promised and did not deliver. There is no "compelling story telling", not worthwhile loot, no persistent and living world. Destiny is a basic husk of an MMO/FPS. It doesn't even get the MMO basics right. There is no trading, the vendor items are terrible, no transmogrifications, no gambling for good loot, barely any exploration. There is just a lot that Bungie did not deliver.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS VG248QE Black 24" Gaming Monitor, 144 Hz 1ms (GTG), 3D Monitor, Height & pivot adjustable, 350 cd/m2, Built-in Speakers
Pros: - Very fluid 144hz
- 1ms response time (grey to grey)
- Great in game picture quality
- No screen tearing
- Perfect size for game concentration and taking screen information
- Smooth and easy height adjustment
- Rotatable to portrait mode
Cons: - Desktop color reproduction is not as great as IPS panels or for that matter, the previous TV I was using as my monitor.
Other Thoughts: Desktop color reproduction aside, the colors in game are awesome, and as far as I can tell, provide more detail. Gameplay is ultra smooth and I have not encountered any screen tearing.
If you're a gamer, and you have the GPU power to push games past 60FPS, then you owe it to yourself to get this monitor. At the current price, it's easily justifiable.

Aaron Ekblad
Florida Panthers
Ekblad (neck/concussion) "is going to be fine" said head coach Gerard Gallant.
Ekblad was sent home after suffering a neck injury and a reported concussion at the World Cup of Hockey. Ekblad is back skating in Florida and is expected to be ready to anchor the Panthers' top-pair in the season opener.

Sept. 26, 2016, 12:45 p.m.
Jonathan Huberdeau
Florida Panthers
The Panthers signed Jonathan Huberdeau to a six-year contract extension worth$35.4 million ($5.9M AAV).
Huberdeau, 23, is coming off of a career-year, having posted 20 goals and 39 assists (59 points). The former third overall pick (2011) has turned in back-to-back 50-plus point seasons and appears to only be scratching the surface of what he might be able to accomplish on the Panthers' top-line with Aleksander Barkov and Jaromir Jagr.
Joel Auerbach
Sept. 9, 2016, 12:20 p.m.
Derek MacKenzie
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have signed Derek MacKenzie to a two-year deal worth $2.7 million ($1.35M AAV).
MacKenzie is a quality fourth line centre, that will not do a lot of scoring. He led the Panthers in face-off percentage (54.8%) and was second in hits per game with 2.4. MacKenzie's value lies in the faceoff circle and on the penalty kill, where he led all Panthers' forwards with a 2:38 PK/TOI per game.
David Dwork
July 8, 2016, 11:09 a.m.
Reilly Smith
Florida Panthers
The Panthers signed Reilly Smith to a five-year deal worth $25 million ($5M AAV).
Smith, 25, had a great debut season in Florida, registering 25 goals and 25 assists (50 points) in 82 games and an ultra-impressive eight points (4G / 4A) in six playoff games. Smith has only missed one game in his first three full NHL seasons and has already turned in two 20-plus goal seasons. He has a top-6 role for a good team and should have a shot at 30 goals in 2016-17.
George Richards
July 4, 2016, 9:44 a.m.
Vincent Trocheck
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have signed Vincent Trocheck to a six-year contract worth $28.5 million ($4.75M AAV).
Trocheck is looking like a third-round steal from the 2011 NHL Draft. The 22-year-old centre is coming off of a huge 25-goal, 28-assist (53 points) season, earning himself a huge extension. He is a key member of a young core in Florida that will be looking to do even more damage in 2016-17. Trocheck should be able to turn in another 25/25 season.
David Dwork
July 3, 2016, 11:16 a.m.
Jason Demers
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have signed Jason Demers to a five-year deal worth $22.5 million ($4.5M AAV).
Demers was acquired mid-season in 2014-15, so 2015-16 was his first full season with the Stars. He missed 20 games, but still picked up 23 points (7G / 16A) in 62 games. He is a solid two-way defenseman who solidifies the Panthers' second pairing and should look good as the third best defenseman on the team behind Aaron Ekblad and Keith Yandle.
Darren Dreger
July 2, 2016, 12:59 p.m.
Jonathan Marchessault
Florida Panthers
The Panthers signed Jonathan Marchessault to a two-year contract.
Marchessault, 25, split his 2015-16 campaign between the NHL and AHL. The 5-foot-9 forward had nine points (6G / 3A) in 11 games with Syracuse and 18 points (7G / 11A) in 45 games with the Lightning. Marchessault will fight for a spot on the Panthers' opening night roster in training camp this Fall.
Florida Panthers
July 1, 2016, 2:01 p.m.
Colton Sceviour
Florida Panthers
The Panthers signed Colton Sceviour to a two-year contract.
Sceviour, 27, has been with the Stars since he was drafted 112th overall in 2007. During that time he has amassed 62 points (28G / 34A) in 170 career NHL games and he'll bring that experience to the Panthers' bottom-6 in 2016-17.
Florida Panthers
July 1, 2016, 2 p.m.
James Reimer
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have signed James Reimer to a five-year deal worth $17 million ($3.4M AAV).
Reimer, 28, split last season with the Maple Leafs and Sharks after being dealt at the Trade Deadline. He combined for a 17-14-7 record with a 2.31 GAA and .922 SV%. He has a career .914 SV% in 196 starts and signs with the Panthers as insurance for 37-year-old Roberto Luongo. Bobby Lu will likely start the majority of games, but Reimer should start more than your average backup with the upside for a straight platoon if he plays well.

Aaron Ekblad
Florida Panthers
The Panthers signed Aaron Ekblad to an eight-year, $60 million contract extension.
Ekblad, 20, will carry a $7.5 million cap-hit in the 2017-18 season, which would make him the sixth highest paid defenseman as of now. The 6-foot-4, 216 lbs. blueliner has had two great years to kick off his NHL career—posting 39-points (12G / 27A) in 2014-15 and 36 points (15G / 21A) last season. Ekblad will be the cornerstone of the Panthers franchise through the 2024-25 season.

Keith Yandle
Florida Panthers
The Panthers have signed Keith Yandle to a seven year deal worth $44.45 million ($6.35M AAV).
Florida acquired Yandle's rights from the Rangers a few days back and wasted no time inking the 29-year-old defenseman to a seven year contract. Handle has not missed a game in the last seven seasons and has averaged 10 goals and 40 assists (50 points) per 82 games over that stretch. He becomes the highest paid player in the Panthers organization.

The crafty caretaker with a sweeping agenda
Ehud Olmert's political career almost ended three years ago when he finished an embarrassing 33rd in Likud Party primaries for Knesset candidates, far behind lesser known figures. Luckily for him, 38 candidates on the list made it into the Israeli parliament.
His poor showing despite decades as a senior Likud politician reflected the low esteem in which he was held by his peers.
Apart from having a barbed tongue, he carried himself too high, was too given to pinstriped suits in an open-neck society, smoked expensive cigars and hung out with wealthy businessmen.
Even when he served as mayor of Jerusalem he seemed to be abroad on junkets as often as he was in the country. When he grew prosperous as head of a law firm, people suspected him of shady dealings. Indeed, several times he was the subject of police investigations but was never charged.
The press did not like him either, and not just because he responded aggressively when asked questions he did not like. One of Israel's leading journalists, Ari Shavit, once described Mr Olmert in the Haaretz newspaper as a cynical, self-serving politician - 'a constant traveller who had no hesitation about partying in foreign climes while his own city was under attack [a reference to suicide bombings in Jerusalem], a haughty cigar smoker with no feelings for the pain, poverty and despair of Jerusalem's residents.'
The only positive public perceptions of Mr Olmert was that he was intelligent and a capable administrator.
Mr Olmert, in short, would not have won any popularity contest. Yet this week he won a narrow endorsement from the Israeli electorate, which gave his Kadima Party 29 of 120 Knesset seats and paved the way for him to become prime minister.
His emergence as Israel's leader at 60 is due entirely to Ariel Sharon, who plucked him from the Likud margins to make him a senior minister, as well as his deputy and principal confidant. The trust placed in him by a man as respected as Mr Sharon altered the attitude of much of the public towards him since it suggested that the prime minister knew something about Mr Olmert that they did not.
In his three months as acting prime minister, Mr Olmert has himself helped this change in public perception by restrained and 'presidential' behaviour. His aides let it be known that he was working out of his old office and not entering the prime minister's office since he was only acting prime minister. At cabinet meetings, he left empty the chair normally occupied by Mr Sharon, who is still officially the prime minister. In his public appearances, he avoided his old sarcasm, even about political opponents.
Mr Olmert has undergone an ideological transformation since being born to one of the leaders of the far-right Herut Party, predecessor to the Likud Party. His father, Mordecai Olmert, immigrated from Russia in 1933 and served as a Herut Knesset member in the 1950s. Led by Menachem Begin, Herut advocated a Greater Israel.
Joining Herut upon completing his army service, the 21-year-old Mr Olmert wasted no time in making his name by standing up at a party conference to demand Begin's resignation for having led the party to a series of defeats. As one of the 'princes' of Herut - children of the party's leaders - he was forgiven his brashness. He completed law studies at Jerusalem's Hebrew University and in 1973, at 28, became the youngest person elected to the Knesset at that time.
Although the Greater Israel ideology on which Mr Olmert was raised extended only to historical Palestine, he displayed a strong urge for territorial expansion in other directions as well. In 1978, he again defied Begin, by then prime minister, by challenging his acceptance of the peace treaty offered by Egypt in return for Israel's pullback from Sinai. Mr Olmert believed retention of Sinai was more important than peace with Egypt.
Years later, when he himself was advocating withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, he admitted that he had gravely erred. 'He [Begin] was right and I was wrong. Thank God we pulled out of Sinai.'
Taking a 10-year break from national politics in 1993 to serve as mayor of Jerusalem, he remained as hawkish as ever, permitting development of Jewish housing in the midst of Arab areas. But towards the end of his mayoral term he began to undergo an ideological transformation. It may have been this change that brought him close to Mr Sharon, himself undergoing a similar transformation.
In December 2003, shortly after being elected to the current Knesset, Mr Olmert gave a remarkable interview to the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, revealing for the first time his deep opposition to continued occupation of the Palestinian territories. If Israel did not pull out, he warned, the Palestinian population would soon outnumber the Jews. In that case, Israel would either become an apartheid state that denied the vote to the Arabs or it would cease being a Jewish state.
Mr Sharon, surrounded mostly by hardliners in his Likud government, leaned increasingly on Mr Olmert as a politically savvy sounding board who had undergone a similar epiphany to his own. He also apparently used Mr Olmert as a stalking horse to test public sentiment in Israel and abroad. Before Mr Sharon spoke out on the subjects, Mr Olmert became a public advocate of the Gaza withdrawal and the construction of a security barrier on the West Bank. His was one of the principal voices who urged Mr Sharon to quit Likud as a vehicle incapable of furthering his new political goals, and to found a centrist party instead.
When, earlier this year, Mr Sharon was felled by a stroke, Mr Olmert took over the leadership of the country by virtue of his designation as acting prime minister. As a caretaker, he kept a low profile but at times he was obliged to make hard decisions. When the courts in February ordered the demolition of an illegal outpost, Mr Olmert sent 10,000 police and soldiers to disperse a mass protest by settlers and their supporters and thereby affirm his determination to carry out further evacuations in the future.
He waited, however, until two weeks before the election to step boldly out of Mr Sharon's shadow and spell out his own far-reaching plan for evacuating most of the Israeli settlements on the West Bank while holding on to large settlement blocs.
Mr Sharon had always been ambiguous about his plans. But Mr Olmert wanted to make it clear to voters what he intended to do and thereby pre-empt charges afterwards by the right wing that he had no public mandate for evacuating settlements. In voting for him, they would be voting for evacuation.
'This was the most specific plan any serious candidate for prime minister has ever issued before an election,' wrote one Israeli journalist.
Mr Olmert's performance as acting prime minister drew high praise from Israel's elder statesman, Shimon Peres, who said Mr Olmert had deftly walked the line between not flaunting his role as acting prime minister as long as Mr Sharon lay in hospital while at the same time giving the public the sense that there was no power vacuum in Jerusalem.
Nevertheless, it will probably take weeks before Mr Olmert can present a coalition government to the Knesset for approval. From that moment, he will not be the 'acting prime minister' on the basis of authority derived from Mr Sharon but a leader in his own right who will have to rely on courage and fortitude in dealing with the critical decisions that await him.
In a recent interview, Mr Olmert disclosed that his artist wife and their five children - one adopted - were all left-wingers who had never voted for him. 'There is a complex, and I think fascinating, dialogue between my children and me.'
Over time, said Mr Olmert, his family had influenced his political thinking more than he had influenced theirs.
Running for prime minister this week on a platform that advocates pulling out of the bulk of the West Bank, he said he was finally confident that his family was on his side in the polling booth.

Some of the C&S funds, as well as other CEFs, use leverage and this is not a good time to be in a fund that has to borrow money. Read what the company has to say.http://www.cohenandsteers.com/downloads/AMPS_Market_Update_21508.pdf
Shouldn't be too bad. Libor and Interest rates are both falling and will continue to fall. I see the memo as a "cover your butt" type of memo. It was prudent for them to do so. Another article on Marketwatch calculated the worst case scenario to .15 per share per year.

I am newbie when it comes to trading and forex. Just want to know if anybody in this forum has earned much from forex trading?
I am newbie when it comes to trading and forex. Just want to know if anybody in this forum has earned much from forex trading?
Well, not really that much that can feed 4 families, he he LOL
I am just doing my demo account with no investment so I have earned nothing from forex yet. Maybe with the virtual profit that I have gained, I am virtually rich, lol
As of now, not yet but I will update in this thread when the time comes that I am able to earn something because I plan to start investing by next month.
I can say that I've earned healthy returns on my account. That doesn't mean I'm filthy rich but I've been able to produce consistent positive pips which is slowly adding up to a sizeable return. If you haven't made positive returns yet, just hang in there and continue to demo trade until you can bring in consistent positive pips.
Well I'm new to forex trading and I have been trying to better educate myself better before I can make a trade and feel confident about doing so...
Money is hard to come these days and I'm not in the business of giving any away...especially if you have to work in the cold and out in the hot sun to earn dollar or two.
But, I 've been trading a demo account for about 2 months now and I see myself trading live in about another week.
This DEMO account that I've trading with...I'm making 3 out of 5 successful trades now and my account was up to 75,000.... now I'm back to 66,000.
Still trying to tweak on this ....Practice , practice , practice...
A good way to practice with real money is to open up a MICRO account. I know FXSol offers this. Each pip is only worth a penny but if you open an account with $5k or so you'll be properly capitalized. Just don't crazy and trade 100 micro lots at a time. It's just a good way to get your feet wet with real money without having to risk too much.
I am not too keen on the simulated trading.
"you can be the best Marksman in the world.........................Until somebody starts shooting back at you."
Better to start with small size then build up as the consistency improves. What do others think???
hey ollie35, you mentioned that you've been able to consistently produce positive amount of pips. Do you have a set goal of number of pips on a daily basis, or do you keep your position open until you are stopped out?
i have earn consistent income from forex trading over the years now, and i have follow up the tricks by this site even without being a member. i look forward to becoming an expert.

i don't know what you guys are still arguing about. it's general knowledge that floyd is scared of the pacman. this info is probably on encyclopedias by now. floyd has been holding up this fight for almost two years now. the longer it takes the more the world notices floyd's reluctance to go for this fight.

we all know the reason why pac is saying i don't need mayweather. everytime he and arum sets up a negotiation floyd runs away and act like a menstruating queen and goes on long vacations. of course, anyone would get frustrated by that kind of attitude. of course, *****s would make it look like the ball is in pacman's court because they're too embarrassed to admit floyd is holding up this fight. this is normal. but the world is not composed of *****s. it's composed of normal people like you and me.
please, don't take my word for it. you only have to see it for yourself by going out there on the street and ask normal people.

Pacquiao is not only driven by a higher power inside the ring but also outside the ring.
Floyd is so overrated its disguting. Joe Calzaghe is on par with Floyd while SRR is on par with Pacquiao.

Just started utilizing Pandora Radio (since I'm away from my personal library and had a sudden desire to discover new artists/songs), and found the music of Wayne Shorter. I'm really digging the tune, Teru. Going to listen to the rest of the album when I can.

Norah Jones - She's 22
She has that unbelievable voice and it's just so cool to see her playing that Gibson SG instead of piano. I have her album "Little Broken Hearts" in 88.2 / 24 FLAC, but this video actually sounds pretty close. It's probably my favorite female vocal performance of the last two years.

Good call! I've heard him as a sideman on a fair number of recordings...but nothing that he put out under his name...great player...
I've been listening to Max Roach's We Insist and Percussion Bitter Sweet from 1960-61. These are civil rights/protest jazz albums that are stunning and given the nature of the material make them quite unique in the history of jazz. Abbey Lincoln handles lyrics (unusual for Roach to use vocals) and Coleman Hawkins contributes.
Percussion Bitter Sweet-also features Abbey Lincoln and Eric Dolphy contribute.
The jazz is great-there is a definite African/spriual influence that gives the music a "world music" feel and it reminds me how these great African American artists many of us enjoy in the 50's and 60's lived in oppressive times.

Attention Students! The Texas Board of Higher Education has removed certain courses from the statewide common course numbering system. To accommodate the changes, ACC will phase out Human Anatomy (BIOL 2304/2101) and Human Physiology (BIOL 2305/2102) and replace them with a two semester sequence of combined Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 2401 and BIOL 2402). Read more.
Students wishing to take Biology 2304/2101 Human Anatomy must first pass an assessment test with a 70% or higher before they are allowed to enroll in the course.
The above are separate tests. Passing the test for one class does not enable a student to enroll in the other class in the sequence.
The assessment tests evaluate if students have the necessary background material to pass HIGH SCHOOL biology and chemistry perquisites. These courses do not cover basic material and the assessment tests evaluate your knowledge of BASIC BIOLOGY and CHEMISTRY.
Our data indicates that students who enroll in these courses without this basic knowledge do not succeed, losing the time and money they invested.
Historically, students who have a good grounding in basic high school level biology and chemistry, as assessed on the assessment tests, have a much higher success rate (defined as earning a "C" or higher) final grade) in subsequent anatomy and physiology courses.
We are required by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to give the assessment tests to ALL students without exception. Your background and prior course work are not relevent and do not count as a basis for exception.
The Human Anatomy assessment tests cover the pertinent state-wide objectives of high school biology.
Anatomy Assessment Test Objectives
The Human Physiology assessment tests cover the pertinent state-wide objectives of high school chemistry.
Physiology Assessment Test Objectives
Review the objectives for the assessment (see the links above.) Need additional help? Test Preparation
You have three (3) semesters before you plan to take the course to take and pass the associated assessment.
For example, if you plan to take BIOL 2304/2101 Human Anatomy during a fall semester, you must take and pass the Anatomy Assessment during the prior Fall, Spring or Summer semester.
At any ACC testing center Testing Centers
The first attempt for the Anatomy Assessment is FREE. Subsequent attempts are $20 each. Attempts are limited to three (3) per semester.
The first attempt for the Physiology Assessment is FREE. Subsequent attemps are $20 each. Attempts are limited to three (3) per semester.

The hydantoin derivatives and analogues may, in sensitive patients, induce a syndrome which so closely mimics lymphosarcoma, both clinically and pathologically, that it leads to long and costly hospitalization. A case is reported of a patient under treatment with diphenylhydantoin sodium for grand mal epilepsy. She was admitted to hospital with fever, joint swellings, facial edema, generalized aches and pains, and adenopathy. A lymph node biopsy led to the diagnosis of lymphoblastic lymphosarcoma, and the patient was treated with nitrogen mustard. A continuing adverse clinical picture eventually prompted withdrawal of the diphenylhydantoin sodium. Gradual clinical improvement followed. Resumption of the drug by the patient after discharge from the hospital caused a recrudescence, and she was readmitted. After withdrawal of the diphenylhydantoin sodium, the symptoms again subsided.

We've all been wondering what the first project Peter Block was going to do with his new company, A Bigger Boat, after his departure from Lionsgate, and we've just received word that the first film under that newly formed banner will be Adam Green's Frozen!
A Bigger Boat will produce the film with Green's company, ArieScope Pictures, and Adam will be performing double duty as writer and director.
GreeneStreet Films International (GSFI) is selling the film worldwide and has already closed deals at the American Film Market with the United Kingdom's Momentum, Spain's Aurum, France's Metropolitan, the Middle East's ECS, Brazil's Playarte, Israel's United King, Scandinavia's Svensk, and Turkey's Medyavizyon.
The story revolves around three skiers who are stranded on a chairlift and forced to make life or death choices that prove more dangerous than even freezing to death.
"Frozen is the perfect first project for A Bigger Boat," said Peter Block. "A high concept thriller with a talented young filmmaker on board. Hatchet proved that Adam can direct fun horror comedy and attract an audience, but this project will show his ability to create a realistic, tension filled thriller. I couldn't be more excited to work with him and his team at ArieScope."
"Anyone who has skied before knows the fear that rushes through their heart when the chairlift momentarily stops," said Adam Green. "Frozen will build on such primal fears as heights and freezing to death and take them to terrifying new levels. It's an honor to be working with GSFI and Peter Block, a producer who truly gets the horror genre and who knows how to do it right."
ArieScope's Cory Neal added, "To have Frozen be the flagship production for A Bigger Boat has us excited beyond words."
"The response to Adam and Frozen has been overwhelming," said GSFI president, Amy Beecroft. "It shows that when you have a strong concept and people who know how to deliver this particular genre, there's a marketplace. This has been a great way to launch A Bigger Boat's partnership with GreeneStreet Films International."
Principal photography is scheduled to commence early next year, and casting is already under way. Keep it right here for more on Frozen as it breaks!

In this Internet era, public approval of the FBI is headed down hard.
Trump's corporate tax cut is supply-side stimulus I could agree with if done right, even though it primarily helps the rich. Trump's cut of the top rate from 35% to 15% is the largest of its kind in the history the United States.
"Dust off the systematic hedging strategies, and get re-acquainted with the concept of tail-risk," is the ominous conclusion from MKM Partners' Jim Strugger's latest report. Despite every effort from central banks to maintain a low-volatility environment, the magnitude of the August 2015 'shock' not just for U.S. equities but across asset classes, was great enough for Strugger to conclude that a transition into a high-volatility regime had begun. Given the length of the economic cycle, bull market, and the rise in financial stress globally, Strugger warns a transition to a high-vol regime leaves ultimate damage in the &P 500 averaging 53%.
It appears the management team at FBRNY have decided that manipulating the US equity market via selling VIX has run its course (which started when Brian Sack left and Simon Potter took over) . As of this week - there has never been a bigger speculative long VIX position (implicitly bearish stocks). One wonders what the consequences are?
The S&P 500 is now up 12.5% from the Bullard lows in mid-October and has broken to new record highs over 2048 - within 2 points of Goldman Sachs year-end target. Since Bullard's comments, the S&P 500 has been up 19 days and down only 5 (and today will be the 23rd day in a row of closing above its 5-day moving-average - a record!) WTI crude oil prices are collapsing back to cycle lows below $75 but perhaps most notable is the plunge in 'implied correlation' - which measures the relative demand for individual stock protection over index macro protection. Implied correlation is at a record low - which suggests capitulation among those with macro overlays (like Carl Icahn)...
Early weakness and volatility was entirely suppressed once European markets closed and stocks traded in a shockingly low range amid dreadfully low volume. All the major indices closed red with the Russell underperforming (and Nasdaq outperforming) as stocks tracked (more loosely than normal) with AUDJPY once again. Treasuries ended the day very modestly lower in yield (30Y unch, rest -1bps). The USD traded modestly higher all day led by weakness in GBP and AUD (as JPY ended unch). Gold closed unchanged as copper (China), oil, and silver slipped. Credit markets remain skeptical and VIX closed higher on the day, despite the late-day ramp efforts to get the S&P 500 green - which failed.
VIX futures positioning hit another all-time record short just two weeks ago after collapsing to 12-month high levels as "Taper" concerns increased. From the start of July to the 3rd week of August VIX futures were sold in epic proportions providing the fuel to lift a plateaued stock market from taper-anxiety to new all-time highs (as nothing changed). Over 100 million contracts were sold in the 7-week period - a totally unprecedented amount of complacency. However, in the past 3 weeks, there has been an inflection; is this the end of selling, or are we about to pull VIX even lower with a concerted reflexive selling of even more shorts? As SocGen warns, this historic level of non-commercial short positions (read speculative) implies any market correction - or VIX-related spike - would increase short-covering and exaggerate the fall dramatically. With today's exuberant spurt lower in VIX, vol has caught back with stocks once again.
As Monty Python might have said, apart from AAPL; what has the market done for you today? S&P 500 cash managed (somehow) to cling to a green close while the Dow and Nasdaq ended red. Critically - markets went only one way all day - from upper left to lower right as we go out at the lows of the day - back again at the Draghi cliff edge and just below pre-QE levels. AAPL was a disaster - on heavy volume - as it pushed back down towards it 100DMA (over 3% from its opening highs today!) ending at its lowest in two months with its biggest slide in 5 months (last 14 days). Risk-assets in general tracked closely as while AAPL slide from the open, equity indices manage to hold opening gap gains until Europe closed and then it went pear-shaped. The USD slid all day but didn't 'help' stocks as JPY weakened more (carry offsetting). Treasury yields plunged - 30Y now down 12bps on the week. Commodities all gained on the day - led by Oil (with gold/silver lagging). Meanwhile VIX ignored the debacle, gapping lower at the open and holding down 0.7vols at 15.6% as HYG handily outperformed on low volume.
The reason the market is up today? Jefferies' Peter Misek hikes his price target on Apple from $800 tio $900 (the same AAPL which is now supposed to grow almost exclusively in China, and where as Apple Insider just reported "China's second-largest carrier may end contract sales of Apple's iPhone"). Yes, middle market, $100-$200MM high yield bond issuer Jefferies has an equity research group. And yes, after working at JPmorgan, Scotia, Orion, Alpcap, and Canaccord in the past decade, Misek finally has found a place he can call home (for more than 2 years), or at least until the next bonus renegotiation-cum-upgrade option time. And yes, Jefferies actually is moving the volumeless market for the first and only time ever courtesy of 1.000 implied correlation between the NASDAPPLEURUSD. Which is great. Maybe Misek will be right here.,, Unlike his calls on DragonWave for example, where he was buying all the way from $7 until $2, in the interim moving his Price Target from $9.00 to $3.50 to $10.00 to $3.00. Peter likes even numbers. He keeps it simple, except for his $699 PT on AAPL back in March- why $699? "It's one iPad." Sometimes he likes it complicated.
Equities traded in a very narrow range (aside from an early day-session stop-run) amid extremely low volume in equity cash and futures markets and ended the day modestly lower (holding the post-Draghi gains). However, a funny thing happened on the way to the equity bull market; HY and IG credit have underperformed since mid-day Friday, VIX (+1.3vols to 18.03%) has risen notably since the open on Friday - completely shrugging off equity's strength, and while Treasuries saw a great deal of ugliness at the end of last week - and a pull back would be expected - they notably outperformed (relatively speaking) their equity cousins today. The USD gained 0.25% today as the EUR dropped a notable 0.5% but only WTI reacted to that (by dropping 0.67% today) while Copper and Gold trod water and Silver spurted to a high-beta 1.7% gain (crossing back above its 50DMA for the first time since mid-March). As Unilever and Texas Industries issue debt at record-low coupons we also note that IG/HY advance-declines lines are extremely high and along with implied-skewness in SPY options suggests a very high level of complacency.
What can we say? From the better than expected GDP this morning Gold and the USD (and Treasury yields) diverged from the QE hope trade - but stocks didn't. Then came the statement of the entirely sublime obvious from someone somewhere about Draghi's normal pre-meeting meetings and we were off to the races to test recent highs. Treasuries exploded higher in yield, Gold popped, USD weakened (as EUR popped), and stocks ripped. But...Treasuries reverted back to pre-Draghi-levels, EUR tumbled and the USD ended near the highs of the day, Gold gave back most of its spike gains and closed in the middle of its day's range as stocks just wouldn't give up the dream. For a 2% rally in S&P 500 e-mini futures, VIX fell only modestly by 0.9 vos to 16.7% - which is above last week's close (while stocks end almost 2% above last week's close). Amid the heaviest volume in over a month and the largest average trade size in over a week, ES closed at almost 3-month highs. It appears to us that unless Draghi and Bernanke - who now seem engrossed deep in the inter-continental thermonuclear currency war - both do their bit next week (which the market has now more than fully priced in given the dismal fundamentals) then this is becoming farcical but as Maria B said "a rally is a rally, right?" Ask the ZNGA and FB buyers of the rally on IPO day. Stocks ended the day notably decoupled from risk-assets amid Treasuries worst day in 9 months.
After surging away from risk-assets into Friday's close (only to revert yesterday) and once again surging into yesterday's close, broad derisking among most risk-assets finally saw US equities catching-down to that reality in the short-term today - as they broke the EU-Summit/Spain-Bailout/Greek-Election shoulder and ended comfortably below the 50DMA. Short-end Treasury yields made new record lows as belly to long-end all fell notably close to those record lows (with 10Y back under 1.50% and 30Y under 2.60%). The USD rallied back from a 0.3% loss on the week to a 0.1% gain - thanks mostly to EUR's new 2Y low at 1.2235 intraday and AUD weakness (as JPY remains better on the week - more carry unwinds). Commodities plunged - far exceeding the USD-implied moves - with WTI down over 3% from yesterday's highs and Gold and Silver in sync down around 1% on the week. Staples and Utilities were the only sectors holding green today (marginally) as Industrials, Materials, and Energy (all the high beta QE-sensitive sectors) took a dive. It seems the message that no NEW QE without a market plunge is getting through and the reality of a global slowdown looms large. Credit outperformed (though was very quiet flow-wise) but HYG underperformed - cracking into the close - as it just seems like the most yield-chasing 'technicals-driven' market there is currently. Slightly below average volume and above average trade size offers little insight here but a pop back above 19% in VIX (and a 2-month flat in term structure), a rise in implied correlation, a rise in systemic cross-asset class correlation, and the leaking negatives of broad risk assets suggest there is more to come here (especially given the BUBA's comments this morning and a lack of real progress in Europe). The ubiquitous late-day ramp saw aggressive trade size and volume (with a delta bias to selling) as it remained far below VWAP.
An expectedly low volume day saw equity futures wiggle around VWAP until the day-session open at which time Energy and Materials sectors surged to lift stocks 10 pts higher into the European close. Commodities all surged - led by Oil with its 'Hormuz'-premium pricing in - and while the USD weakened after the European close ( driven by EURUSD bouncing off the 50% retracement of the EU Summit spike), equities also lost ground and rapidly reverted back down to VWAP. The strength in gold and silver was interesting as they extend their gains from pre-Summit lows (gold up over $70) and most notable to us was the recoupling of risk assets broadly with equities. Gold and stocks are seemingly back in sync and so are (separately) the USD and 10Y Treasury yields. After stocks hit VWAP they rapidly resurged back up to the highs of the day and closed there dragged up by a push into the green by HYG (with both stocks and high-yield seeing some sizable blocks going through at the highs). VIX closed down very modestly at 16.6% but most notably was the rise in implied correlation (and implicitly index vol - VIX - from around 1045ET into the close, even as stocks rallied). It would seem that the rise in WTI back over $87.50 (and Brent over EUR80) has been the 'risk-driver' for much of this rally (with CONTEXT - broad risk proxy - playing squeeze catch up to equity's health). In summary, equities are up over 5% as oil is smashing higher due to pending Hormuz strait closing and WAR; Germany and Finland basically saying NEIN to EU Summit deal as it stands; JPM in an energy market probe and BARC told to lower rates by the government!! All is well in nominal, central-bank, asset-value land.
The NYSE volume today was abysmal. According to BBG data, this was the lowest volume day in over a decade and even compared to other July 1st (or holiday weeks) this was the lowest volume print. Average trade size for the S&P 500 e-mini futures was also very small - almost the lowest of the year as low volumes and the narrowest high-to-low range for ES in over two months still managed to hold on to small gains for the day. In the face of this relative exuberance, Treasury yields dumped down 5 to 6 bps across the board remaining the most cognitively dissonant of risk assets on the day. HYG underperformed (as HY and IG credit indices were very quiet and reracked along with ES for most of the day). HYG did end Friday notably rich to intrinsics so this makes some sense but is unusual for a positive close in ES (as we note that 16 of the 24 times in the last year that HYG has closed red and SPY closed green, SPY has gone on to lose more in the next few days). EURUSD lost quite a bit of ground (again seemingly ignored by US equities) as USD rise 0.35% from Friday's close (albeit with AUD rallying modestly along with JPY). Oil retraced almst 50% of its spike gains from Friday but then pushed back up over $83.50 into the close and while Silver and Gold flatlined ending practically unchanged, Copper also lost a little ground (2x beta of USD) on growth slowing from China's data we assume.As with pretty much any rally, financials, energy and tech were the higher-beta winners all gathered perfectly correlated around 0.6% gains on the day (but we note that JPM and Citi remain negative from Friday's opening print). VIX ended the day below 17% (down a measly 0.25 vols) - its lowest close in two months - and while implied correlation managed to make modest gains (to around 65%) risk assets in general were only moderately correlated as equities outshone CONTEXT on the day.
Another interestingly odd day. One of the lowest (non-holiday) volume days of the year but a big pick up in average trade size as the S&P 500 e-mini futures shrugged off Treasury strength, USD strength, and Gold's somnambulism seemingly led by an energy sector focused on only one thing - the bounce in WTI. Copper also drifted higher even as the USD leaked modestly higher (as assume the two got some hopium-infusion from China RRR cut rumors early on and sustained momentum as liquidity disappeared in many risk markets. Credit once again was a split-decision with the CDS markets underperforming (and notably thin from our discussions) while HYG (high-yield bonds) decided to lead the way (also on one of its lowest volume days of the year). Treasuries remain in a tight range over the last few days, as EURUSD limps lower, but VIX had a high vol day with its move higher in the face or rising stock prices (up to 20% vol at one point) providing some ammo for the late day surge in stocks as it was sold hard to close -0.25 vols only around 19.5% (as implied correlation broke 71% before plunging into the close).
We have discussed the use of correlation (cross-asset-class and intra-asset-class) a number of times in the last few years, most recently here, as a better way to track 'fear' or greed than the traditional (and much misunderstood) VIX. As Nic Colas writes this evening, a review of asset price correlations shows that the convergence typical of 'risk-off' periods in the market is solidly underway. While we prefer to monitor the 'finer' average pairwise realized correlations for the S&P 100 - which have been rising significantly recently, Nic points out that the more coarse S&P 500 industry correlations relative to the index as a whole are up to 88% from a low of 75% back in February. In terms of assessing market health, a decline in correlation is a positive for markets since it shows investors are focused on individual sector and stock fundamentals instead of a macro "Do or die" concerns. By that measure, we're moving in the wrong direction, and not just because of recent decline in risk assets. Moreover, other asset classes such as U.S. High Yield corporate bonds, foreign stocks (both emerging market and develop economies), and even some currencies are increasingly moving in lock step. Lastly, we would highlight that average sector correlations have done a better job in 2012 of warning investors about upcoming turbulence than the closely-watched CBOE VIX Index. Those investors looking for reliable "Buy at a bottom" indicators should add these metrics to their investment toolbox as a better 'mousetrap' than the now ubiquitous VIX.

Foggy Bottom Review
To live up to the "quadrennial" designation in its title, the next QDDR should be completed by around December 2014. (The Pentagon has largely adhered to the four year schedule, completing QDRs in 1997, 2001, 2006 and 2010.) But given that the original QDDR took 17 months to complete, Kerry will need to move soon if he hopes to keep the process roughly on track. The second QDDR should move more quickly than the first, but it will still take real time.

Reviews (7)First Review by k-veg
The best Vegan pizza we've ever had. - Edit
If you can get past the shabby decor, this place is a gem. The mother and son team were on duty when my family visited. They were both very friendly. The mother was especially sweet and helpful. The pizza crust was perfect. The sauce, sublime. If you're vegan, all you really need are the sauce and a few veggies from the generous list of vegan toppings for an outstanding pizza. We opted for the vegan cheese and soy pepperoni this time. It's been years since I've had a dairy and meat pizza and this tasted very similar to the real thing.
Perfect after a long day of motorcycling - Edit
Went there after a day of riding and starving for food.As others have said the decor and atmosphere are not the greatest, but the pizza was prepared fresh. The pizza was pretty good, decent crust, really liked the sauce and a good balance of ingredients. Though we are spoiled by New York City pizza, we were pleasantly surprised and would return if back in the area.
Pros: Great sauce, Late hours
Cons: Two tables, Shabby decor
Unimpressive - won't be returning - Edit
Perhaps we went there on an off day, but nothing about this restaurant impressed me. From the disinterested "waitress" to the OK-but-nothing-special vegan pizza to the lackluster (shabby) decor, this was an all around disappointing experience. We will not be returning.
Cons: Bored staff, Disappointing meal
Happy Valley Delivery! - Edit
Although it took a while, the vegan pizza was hot and tasty. The delivery area is quite vast and it's not like they only deliver when they aren't busy. Rely on Corrinado's Pizza if you want reliable, fresh, vegan food delivered in State College.
Pros: reasonable price, good vegan pizza
Vegan pepperoni rolls aren't on menu! - Edit
Their vegan pepperoni rolls are delicious. Ask for them even though they aren't on the menu. I usually get those and the 'Vegan Soy Cheese delight'. They also have a vegan pizza sub that I haven't gotten around to trying yet although I bet it's great.
Pizza Like You Remember (Before Going Vegan) - Edit
This tastes like the bad-for-you pizza you remember before going vegan. It's probably still bad for you, but very good tasting and cruelty-free. I suggest delivery (they say their delivery zone is pretty extensive) instead of going inside. Like another reviewer said, the inside (very small) doesn't assure you of cleanliness. Excellent vegan pizza and so glad they are serving the State College community!
Pros: Delivery, Vegan
Grateful... - Edit
I'm so glad Corrianado's offers a vegan pizza as this is so rare especially in State College. Sure you can get a pizza without cheese, but it is nice to have something closer to what I remember in the pre vegan days. It is not only vegan, but tastes great and they offer a variety of yummy toppings. In addition they have made some great salads too! The only downside is if you go inside it does not appear to be the cleanest place, but I try not to let that keep me from ordering. One of the things I miss the most about not being vegan is convenience and this place makes it so convenient to have some pizza. If you want to order pizza there I would recommend getting it to go or having it delivered as there is virtually no places to sit inside.
Pros: Vegan options - especially pizza!, Multiple topping choices, Quick service, reasonable prices
Cons: cleanliness of place, no seating area

PHOENIX - Dernell Stenson wasn't even supposed to be playing in the Arizona Fall League.
The promising young Cincinnati Reds outfielder was a late addition when Wily Mo Pena was granted his wish to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic.
Early Wednesday, Stenson's body was found in a street in a residential neighborhood in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler. The 25-year-old prospect had been shot, then run over and apparently dragged some distance by his own SUV, police said.
A man found driving Stenson's SUV two hours later, 10 miles away in Mesa, was arrested and booked on a charge of possession of stolen property.
Chandler police called the man, Kevin Riddle, 43, an "investigative lead." Police said Riddle was a transient.
"People are stunned," said Donnie Branch, Stenson's high school coach in LaGrange, Ga. "In baseball, we've never had a better player. People in the country hadn't seen that yet and he was fixing to prove what he really could do."
Stenson's body was found about 1:45 a.m. Wednesday after police responded to a report of shots fired. Witnesses told police that a black sports utility vehicle was involved and was seen leaving the area.
Mike Gallo, a Houston Astros pitcher and Stenson's teammate on the Arizona league's Scottsdale Scorpions, said the two had become good friends in the short time they had been together. He said Stenson had a 14-month-old child.
"He's just one of the most soft-spoken, athletic guys," Gallo said. "You just wouldn't imagine it could happen to someone like that."
Gallo said after a day game Tuesday, Stenson had gone out with some teammates "for a few drinks, to relax and just hang out." Stenson called him, apparently to ask him to come along, Gallo said, but he didn't answer the phone.
Gallo said it was a mystery how Stenson wound up in Chandler, which is several miles from the Scottsdale clubs the players frequent.
"There's nothing out there," Gallo said. "He had to be forced into doing it."
Stenson was claimed by the Reds off waivers from the Boston Red Sox on Feb. 25. After seven seasons in the Red Sox minor league organization, he made his major league debut with the Reds, batting .247 with three home runs and 13 RBIs in 37 games.

A Look at Some of DART's "Creative Concepts for Revenue Generation"
We've already established this much: Dallas Area Rapid Transit, facing an "anticipated sales tax shortfall" this fiscal year, needs money -- pronto. So, with that in mind, we take a look at today's meeting agenda for the DART board's revenue committee: "Creative Concepts for Revenue Generation." Such as? Well, we touched on one a while back: leasing DART-owned properties to developers, a la Cityville's proposed complex in a Mockingbird Station parking lot. And the just-posted recap of last month's meeting provides some more clues, among them wrapping trains in ads just like buses and placing digital advertising boards along the Green Line -- which, says Dennis Mochon, DART's assistant vice president of marketing and advertising, would generate "four to five times" more revenue than traditional billboards. Only, DART president Gary Thomas isn't sure the city will allow 'em.
But there is something DART can do without the city's OK: "DART Radio" and Wi-Fi. Why not Wi-Fi, asks board member William Velasco -- after all, Amtrak just added it to trains in the Northeast, so why not DART trains and the Trinity Railway Express too? (New York's commuter rail lines are also close to going Wi-Fi.) And, while DART's at it, how about adding satellite radio on some buses? I believe it was Steve Dunne who first said, "If you give people a reason to get out of their cars -- coffee, great music -- they will park and ride."
Then there's the suggestion that would "offer young entrepreneurs an opportunity to use DART bus shelters as a venue for their start up operations." And ... my work is done here.

"Hey Mike,
Just wanted to say that I was very happy with Darrin Fendley's handling of my console sale / purchasing of new setup. It was very complicated and he was great - knowledgeable, responsive, smart. You got a good one there.
Thanks also for the example you set for running an honest, service oriented business in the midst of this environment of spin, hype, half-truths and deception.
Keep it up brother!
