The stock market fell by more than 2% last week in subdued trading, with technology stocks faring worse, as investors rotated out of that more economically sensitive group into high-dividend names. Equity prices were clipped by renewed global growth jitters and a lackluster start to the third-quarter-profit reporting period.
The mood was dimmed early by the IMF's reduction Tuesday to its forecast of 2012 world growth, now 3.3% from 3.5%. Some tech stocks took it on the chin after the midweek release of PC industry data showing global demand for PCs and laptops is on the wane compared with tablets and smartphones.
Nevertheless, U.S. economic data continued an improved tone of recent weeks, with the latest weekly jobless claims falling to the lowest level in four years. Consumer sentiment surprised on the upside.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 281 points, or 2.1% last week, to 13,328.85, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index gave up 2.2%, or 32 points, to 1428.59. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite declined 2.9%, or 92 points to 3044.11. Among the tech securities feeling the pain were semiconductor makers like Advanced Micro Devices amd 7.438650306748467% Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

The rotation out of tech was a little bit of profit-taking combined with a move into "monotonous boring yield stocks," notes Jason Weisberg, partner at Seaport Securities in New York. The drop was compounded by "anemic trading volumes." With poor liquidity, the week's losses were exaggerated, so the 2% slide probably wasn't as indicative of investor sentiment as it might seem, he adds.
David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Funds, also downplayed the poor market activity as profit-taking after a strong third-quarter market rise. "I don't know what the IMF said that everyone shouldn't already know."
While quarterly earnings reports typically can be important market factors, the strategist predicts this particular third quarter will not be much of a market driver ahead of the coming U.S. elections. Quiet, range trading seems the order of the day until then.
Friday, the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan sentiment index jumped to 83.1 for early October from 78.3 in September, much higher than consensus of about 78.0 and the highest since 2007.
IT'S A LOW-YIELD WORLD, and it could stay that way for a while yet, thanks to central-bank easing moves the world over. With investors desperate for yield, it's no surprise that many large-cap, high-dividend-yield stocks have outperformed. For example, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index dvy 0.10760401721664276% iShares Select Dividend ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 83.73 0.09 0.10760401721664276% /Date(1477357200003-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 744307 AFTER HOURS 84 0.27 0.32246506628448585% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 3.3110521915681357% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (DJDVY), which has a 4.1% yield, has returned 30% over the past two years, compared with 26% for the S&P 500.
The latter is filled with companies sitting on piles of cash but dividend payout ratios are at decade lows. For income seekers who want to go beyond the same old dividend names, it's not just a question of yield but also how fast can dividends grow.
Lately, a debate has opened about whether the high-dividend-yield trade has been played out. Peter Andersen, a portfolio manager at Congress Asset Management in Boston, thinks it has.
Many of those stocks aren't lifting earnings or dividends much. For example, utility Exelon (EXC), a member of the DJ dividend index, has a 5.7% yield but the dividend has grown at about 5% annually—the payout ratio is 87%—and earnings hardly at all.
It's not helpful, Andersen says, to look for companies with high yields and high payout ratios, or, conversely, low yielders with low payout ratios. Neither, he argues, are candidates for sharply growing dividends.
The best combination is a stock that has shown a willingness to increase the dividend and has a low payout ratio. Andersen has come up with a screen to find just that. In it, he takes the company's dividend-growth rate over the past five years divided by the payout rate, to determine what he calls the dividend integrity index. The higher the number, the more likely that the company is one where the dividend yield could rise sharply. (See nearby table. Only stocks with market values above $1 billion and an S&P credit rating B or better were included.)
A high five-year dividend-growth rate, the numerator, suggests the company is shareholder friendly because it has shown an ability to increase dividends, he says. Additionally, a low denominator, the payout ratio, indicates the firm has room to increase the percentage of net profits paid out in dividends, should it desire. The higher the dividend integrity number above one, the greater the confidence theoretically that the company's dividends and yields could grow, says Andersen.

ITS MONIKER MIGHT LEAD investors to believe it makes above-ground pools, but Poseidon Concepts (PSN.Canada) calls its products fluid management systems, and nobody jumps into them. Instead the small-cap company stores water and fluids used in energy exploration.
The explosion of directional drilling and fracking across North America has created a huge need for water management in the energy exploration industry. Water is brought to the site to inject into wells when higher pressures are needed; it also comes naturally back up out of wells. All that water must be held nearby, both for use in the well and eventual disposal.
Until a couple of years ago, most drillers here used one of two storage methods: a mobile tank farm or lined pits. However, the former, a series of connected tanks, is not as well suited to fracking, for example, where large amounts of water are sometimes needed quickly. Additional tanks are cumbersome and expensive to scale up rapidly. Lined pits are cheap but there is evaporation risk as well as the possibility of undiscovered leaks, so there's an environmental worry.
Shares of Poseidon, which was spun out of an explorer, Open Range Energy (ONR.Canada), began trading last Nov. 4 on the TSX and have done well. Friday the Canadian shares closed at 14.50 Canadian dollars (US$14.81), down from a recent high of C$16 but up from C$12 in June. The stock can also be found on the U.S. pink sheets under the symbol POOSF, but trading is illiquid and there appears to be a large short position.
The stock is attractive for several reasons, says Philip Treick, partner at Stephens Real Assets Equity Income Fund, in which Poseidon is a top-five holding. Poseidon's above-ground pools can be scaled up or down quickly and operate more efficiently than tank farms, he says. Like tank farms, they can be broken down and moved. Poseidon also has a good environmental track record with low leak risk, and its pools can be covered to reduce evaporation, so they are an attractive alternative to lined pits, he says.
In the Bakken shale play around North Dakota, for example, there are potentially 33,000 well sites with just 7,000 drilled so far, Treick says. In North America, Poseidon's fluid storage units have just 5% market share, compared with 35%-40% for tanks and 55%-60% for lined pits.
"With the market growing and environmental concerns, Poseidon, which has gone from one storage unit to 500 now and is building about five to seven per week, can grab share from both," he predicts. Competitors exist but are smaller and not big in the U.S. market.
In 2011, Poseidon posted revenue of C$78.8 million, and net income of C$45 million, or 73 cents a share. The stock trades at 7.7 times consensus EPS estimate expectations of C$1.86 this year. It sports a monthly dividend of nine cents (Canadian), for a 7.5% yield. Treick sees the stock doubling and raising its dividend within 18 months.
Poseidon's story isn't completely watertight. There are caveats. It's small, with a $1.1 billion market value and a short history, and barriers to entry aren't high. U.S. rig activity has dropped about 5%, according to Canaccord, as soaring natural-gas supplies have decimated the commodity price. Fracking is controversial, potentially subject to heavy restrictions, and one big accident could hurt Poseidon.
Nevertheless, the opportunity seems there. Poseidon has the first-mover advantage and has finished about 2,500 jobs without an environmental failure. The exploration industry is receptive to the company's products. Maybe it's time to jump in.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on the Île Notre-Dame in Montreal is a very special place for the Sauber F1 Team: It was there the team claimed its only victory to date in its 20 year history in Formula One on the 8th June 2008. On that day the result was a one-two with Robert Kubica from Poland crossing the line ahead of Germany's Nick Heidfeld. The current car, the Sauber C31-Ferrari, was the fastest car on track for long periods of the recent Monaco Grand Prix. Despite this the team ended up scoring no points. Both drivers, Kamui Kobayashi and Sergio Pérez, have set themselves high targets for the Canadian Grand Prix on the 10th June.
Kamui KobayashiW (car number 14):
"At the circuit in Montreal there are long straights but also slow corners. I think our car seems to be okay for this. I hope there we can have the performance we want to see. Last year I was second on the grid for the re-start after the red flag for the wet conditions, but then we suffered with tyre warm up problems and I am sure we have definitely improved on that with this year's car. We shall have to see what we can do, but I think Montreal is one of the places where we can be strong. In case it is cold there, a key will be how the tyres work. I really like the city and the track, although, unfortunately, I have never had a great result there. This year I want to make up for this. Our car is getting better and I'm looking forward to the Canadian Grand Prix."
Sergio PérezW (car number 15):
"It will be my first Canadian Grand Prix, as last year I only did a few laps in the first free practice before I realised I did not feel well enough to drive. I felt very dizzy in the car which was a consequence of last year's Monaco accident. I think at times in recent races we have been very unlucky, but the pace is there as my lap times during the Monaco race clearly proved. I'm looking forward to doing a good job in Canada and scoring as many points as possible. It is a fast and fluid circuit on which you are often close to the wall – challenging and exciting."

Bothell pioneer family featured in museum exhibit
by Bronwyn Wilson
Senior Staff Reporter
Members of the community can learn more about early pioneers by visiting Ron Green's photo display at the Bothell Historical Museum.
The exhibit features old photographs, newspaper clippings and miscellaneous items like a 1923 Ford Motor Company receipt listing, among other things, $1.89 for nine gallons of gas.
"Once a year, we try to honor a pioneer family," says Sue Kienast, Museum president.
This year the Green/Simonds family of Bothell is featured. This small slice of Bothell's history offers a glimpse of the influence the family had in the Northshore area.
Not only does Green's exhibit showcase the Simonds family history, but also the Green family and their link to Bothell.
Henry Austin Simonds arrival in Bothell began with four horses moving a piano up a hill. They managed the task, trudging up a dirt trail while towing the heavy musical instrument behind. Soliciting the services of a team of horses was the only way Simonds could move his worldly possessions to his hilltop residence in 1906.
Henry, his wife Elizabeth, and their six children had left the biting cold winters of Oshkosh, Wis., and traveled by train to the little town of Bothell. There they hoped to begin a better life at a hilltop location near present-day Inglemoor High School.
Henry's grandson, Ron Green, currently resides in Woodinville with his wife Eleanor. He recently created a photographic display that highlights his family's history and their ties to Bothell.
"History has always been interesting to me," he says and adds, "My mother (Sarah Simonds Green) had a lot of old photographs I didn't use in the display. This is a mere sampling."
Green recalls the view from the top of the trail on Grandfather Henry's property. "It had a marvelous view," he says, mentioning that in the early days his grandparents could see everything from their high perch, from Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier towering along the horizon in noble majesty to Lake Washington and the green valley below.
He says the view was much more spectacular than it is today because the second growth trees didn't block the beautiful vistas as they do now. He clearly remembers the dirt trail he had to climb to get to his grandfather's house.
"The trail was about 300 to 400 yards," he says and adds, "As a child it seemed about 10 miles. I was never happier in my life than when I reached the top of that trail. For a child, it was pretty daunting."
Explaining the reason Henry had decided to move his family to Washington state in the first place, Green says, "It was due to the health of my grandfather's youngest boy, John. The doctor recommended he be taken to a milder climate other than Wisconsin. My grandfather heard that the Pacific Northwest was a great area and he decided he would move out here and raise prize chickens."
Prior to arriving, Henry had learned there were 40 acres for sale on a hill in the Bothell area, and that the land was cleared with a house and nearby spring. He bought it sight unseen but soon discovered the cold facts about his hot property. The land did have a house; if that's what one would call the shaky wooden structure the family first set eyes upon. Green refers to it, though, as 'the three-room shack.' In addition, the land wasn't what it was touted to be. Not only was it not cleared; it was also full of tree stumps as well as trees the loggers didn't want. These weren't the only obstacles facing the Simonds family and Green explains, "Between the property and the road was the Sammamish River. There was no access other than the trail up the side of the road." Henry had to build a raft of logs, load his furniture on itŃincluding the pianoŃand float his belongings down the Sammamish River to the bottom of the hill of his newly acquired property. The responsibility of moving it up the trail then fell to the horses.
Henry knew he and his family couldn't live in the 'shack' for long and set about clearing the land to build a new house. The cost for horses and dynamite that were needed to remove the stumps began to eat up the savings he'd set aside for a chicken farm. Henry, a former school superintendent, began to seek a paying job to fund the costly stump removal work.
Says Green, "Clearing the land was so much work and so time consuming that when the school board needed someone to start a high school, he put in his application." Hired soon after, Henry became the first principal of Bothell High School. Even so, during the time he lived and worked in Bothell, he never gained road access to his property. It wasn't until after the family moved from the area that a road was established over the river and up his hill. Northshore citizens know the thoroughfare today as Simonds Road.
A newspaper photo timeline shows the progression of Bothell Garage, Bothell's first auto repair shop that Charles Green (Ron Green's dad) and E.A. Hildebrandt opened in 1914. The partnership dissolved in 1918, but a year later Charles opened Green's Garage. It served customers from the location where Ivar's Restaurant and Hertz Rentals now sit. A new building was built in 1948 that currently houses Hertz Rentals.
Another newspaper item included in the display features Charles cross-country automobile trip, a venturesome journey in 1911 that made history. Northshore resident Terri Malinowski detailed the historic trip in a 1965 Seattle Times article that had the headline, 'It was rugged crossing the country.' Malinowski explains that the Winton Motor Carriage Company of Seattle had employed Charles to familiarize new Winton car owners with their vehicles. She wrote, "At age 21, Charles Green already had been driving for the company since 1907 and was a dashing figure as he rolled through the streets of Seattle delivering and demonstrating new Wintons." The idea for the cross-country adventure began when Charles was dispatched to the home of Elmer Ross, a prominent Bothell dairy farm owner who had purchased a new Winton 6, gleaming in green paint. The dairyman approached Charles with a tempting offer, asking if he would drive his family across the country in the new car. The car had a removable top and no glass windows, only side curtains. With nothing to shield them from the elements, the potential for trouble was limitless. No matter, Charles accepted without hesitation and the trip became a public relations affair for the Winton Company. It also became a historical event when the motorists were the first to ever cross the Snoqualmie Pass from west to east. Says Green, "Father got a leave of absence and he and six members of the Ross family started across the country. They carried ropes and winches with them and had to winch the car over the steep parts of the Pass that was a wagon trail. It took them a week to get to Spokane. In Wyoming, they had to wait while three new tires were delivered by stagecoach. It took my dad and Mr. Ross six weeks to get to Ohio."
In 1915, Charles had captured the attention of Henry's daughter, Sarah Simonds, and the two were married. The young businessman and his wife greeted the birth of their son Ron in 1916 and later, son Gordon in 1921. As a teenager, Ron began working in the family business. Says Green, "I worked for Dad all through high school. In the summer I would grease cars, wash cars and sell parts. After the war in 1945, I worked with him as a partner. In 1954 I bought the business and operated it as Green Ford until it was sold in 1965."
Today, Ron and Eleanor Green make their home at the Brittany Park Retirement Community. The couple has celebrated 63 wedding anniversaries together and raised three children. Looking back on how much the world has changed since the days he and Eleanor were growing up, Green says, "We're from the generation who experienced the depression, a major world war and the rise of technology. It's amazing the things we have now that we didn't have as children."
His exhibit offers visitors a glance back to a time when life was free of fax machines and cell phones ...when everybody knew everybody in town ...when children played games outdoors, instead of indoors in front of computer screens .... and when horses were the daily transportation and sometimes the local moving company too.
Green's display will continue for another week at the Bothell Historical Museum in the Hannan House at Bothell Landing. After that, it moves to Brittany Park for a public showing there. Free to the public, the Museum opens on Sundays 1 to 4 pm.

The love of the game and a weekly paycheck are certainly among the reasons Jason Cirone is still playing pro hockey at the age of 36.
But one thing, more than all others, is what will motivate Cirone to strap on his skates virtually every day for the next seventh months. More than anything else, Cirone wants his two children --- Brooke, 10, and Mason, 7 --- to see the old man in action for as long as possible.
"I want them to see what I do for a living," the 16-year veteran said Monday on the first day of Flint Generals training camp at Perani Arena. "I want them to remember what I do for a living when they get older."
If Cirone turns out to be the franchise player the Generals expect him to be, some of the credit goes to wife Kristin and his two kids. They're the reasons Cirone left the Central Hockey League to play in Flint.
After spending five years playing in Italy, Cirone and his wife wanted to return to North America last season. So he signed with Rio Grande of the CHL, served as that club's captain and was planning on returning to Texas after being traded in June.
But those plans changed after Cirone dropped off his gear in Fort Worth and drove north to his off-season home in suburban Detroit, where his wife was born and her family resides.
"When we got up here," Cirone said, "my wife saw how her mom was --- she lives alone; her dad passed away from cancer 12 years ago --- and (Kristin) said, 'I'm tired of it. If you go to Texas, you go by yourself.'
"That's not an option for me. My kids are at an age where they need me to be there and I need to be around them."
So he began looking for a team in Michigan and it was goaltender Jason Muzzatti, a former teammate on the Italian National Team who played for the Generals last season, that directed Cirone toward Flint.
Muzzatti told Cirone the Generals were seeking for a No. 1 center and when the Generals learned Cirone was interested in playing in Michigan, it seemed like such a pefect fit that director of hockey operations Ron Sanko went to work obtaining Cirone's rights.
It took most of the summer but the deal was finally consummated last week and now Cirone will be centering Flint's top line alongside sniper Michel Beausoleil.
Despite the Generals high expectations, Cirone said he doesn't feel any pressure. Not with fellow centers Greg Bullock and Jordan Fox in the Generals lineup.
"Since they brought in Greg, that took a lot of pressure off me," Cirone said. "I'm not going to have a great night every night. If I'm having a bad night, he can jump in there. And if he's having a bad night, Foxey can jump in there.
"I think we're going to have a good team. They did their homework on everybody. What they've done is brought in a lot of talent. Now it's going to be up to us in the locker room to bring it all together."
In addition to playing in front of his kids, Cirone has one other motivating factor to be at the top of his game --- he'd like to play for Italy again in the 2010 Olympics, providing the Italians qualify.
Cirone played for Italy in last year's Olympics and World Championships --- he holds dual citizenship in Canada and Italy because his father is still an Italian citizen --- and he said the Olympic experience was amazing.
"The Olympics, there are no words to describe them," said Cirone, who played three NHL games for Winnipeg in 1991-92. "It's like the biggest and best dream you could have and you're a part of it. But you don't realize it until after it's over.
"I watch tapes of the games and opening ceremony and it still brings tears to my eyes."

What started out as just a simple idea to try and find some future quarterbacks for Waukesha South quickly turned into a national phenomenon for Pewaukee's Jeff Trickey. It happened so fast that it almost blindsided the former South head football coach and now assistant at Waukesha West.
In a matter of years, Trickey went from running a simple one-day camp at South High School for a couple of local kids to running and directing what is believed to be the largest and most successful youth and high school quarterback camp in the United States.
Humble beginnings
"When I decided to run that first camp back in the summer of 1988, I had no idea what it was going to turn into," said the former standout quarterback at John Marshall High School in Milwaukee and Ripon College. "We started in Waukesha, went to Wausau and then to Minneapolis. Here we are, 22 years later, in 15 states from coast to coast. It's been a great run. It's been a lot of fun and hopefully we've helped out a lot of young men."
That first camp included about 30 kids, all high schoolers from Milwaukee and as far west at Oconomowoc. Word spread fast, and Trickey, 60, ran two camps with 80 kids taking part from around the state one year later.
The next year, thanks to a push from Wausau West varsity coach Mike Dressler, Trickey's camp in Minneapolis took off.
In 2009, a total of 2,700 kids took part, ranging from fourth grades 4-12 in one of the 30 two-day camps. Athletes came from 42 states, including some from Canada and three from Europe. Two sessions are held at each site. One is for youth in grades 4-8, and the other division is for high school players.
Famous alumni
Players who have come through Trickey's camps included a Who's Who in Wisconsin football and in the National Football League. Tyler Donovan of Arrowhead High School and the Wisconsin Badgers once took part, as did John Navarre, formerly of Cudahy High School, the University of Michigan and Miami Dolphins.
Two current NFL quarterbacks, Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys and Kyle Orton of the Denver Broncos, both attended Trickey's camps in their high school days. Chris Griesen, former QB for the Arizona Cardinals, also took part.
"There's no doubt that going to Mr. Trickey's camps separated me from just being an average quarterback to a higher level," Donovan said. "Those experiences at his camps taught me a lot about playing quarterback. He covers everything about the position of quarterback. He doesn't miss a thing. He goes over the mental side of the game as much as the physical side. He's just a great guy.
"He taught us about football and about life. The 1-on-1 time was great. Looking back, going to his camps was the best thing I ever did as far as elevating my game."
Matt Hasselbeck, quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks, who broke into the NFL as Brett Favre's backup, runs his own quarterback and receivers camp in Seattle. He's enlisted the help of Trickey the last three years.
"Coach Trickey has directed my quarterback and receivers camp for the last three years," Hasselbeck said. "I would be hard-pressed to find a coach more passionate and knowledgeable about the quarterback position.
"His love for coaching, coupled with his positive life messages, will leave a lasting impression on any quarterback fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from him."
Long-term commitments
Some of Trickey's biggest camps can be found in California, Arizona, Texas and Ohio. This year, he will have four separate camps in Waukesha, all held at Carroll University.
Trickey got the idea to run his own camp after visiting a friend's camp in Detroit in 1986. He can remember loading up his car, packing up his son Matt and taking the Aamot brothers, Kirk and Craig, with him.
"We made the long eight-hour drive and didn't even know what to expect," Trickey said. "Once we got there, we liked what we saw and had some fun. We talked about it all the way home.
"The next year, I started my own camp, and the rest is history."
Trickey is proud of the fact that many of his former players still work with him at his camps. The Aamots, who both played quarterback at South, are active along with Rob Slavens and Bill Altmann, two other former Blackshirts. Ryan Bingenheimer, another South student, also serves on Trickey's staff.
"I'm lucky to have so many great guys working for me," Trickey said. "Some of them have been there almost since the beginning. These guys are not only great coaches, but great people.
"We try and teach them a lot about the quarterback position, and a lot about life. These guys are great role models for all the campers."
Trickey also gets a lot of help from his wife Rhonda.
"My wife deserves a lot of credit for all of our success," Trickey said. "She runs the office and keeps things running smoothly."
Trickey's camps start with the foundation of the quarterback position.
"We start with the basics and build from there," Trickey said. "Quarterback is considered to be the most demanding position in all of sports. We teach them all the physical things as well as the mental, like reading defenses and things like that.
"So much of the position is above the shoulders."
Trickey certainly knows a thing or two about the sport. He's a member of the Ripon Hall of Fame and coached the Waukesha South varsity from 1986 through the 1992 season, turning South into one of the top programs in this part of the state in that span.
At South, Trickey's teams went 46-16, with three straight Braveland Conference titles at one point.
"The sport of football was good to me, and I'm happy to be able to give something back," Trickey said.
"Working with all the kids is very rewarding. Our goal is to make them better quarterbacks, and more important, better people."

Camp features
The Jeff Trickey Quarterback camp provides a series of offers to young players learning the position:
• One-on-one small group instruction with Trickey and his staff of college and professional quarterbacks
• Maximum repetitions for all quarterbacks
• Breakdown and instruction of passing mechanics evaluated on videotape for each camper
• Intense quarterback preparation for all ability levels
• Mechanics of passing the football stressed individually
• Motivational lectures from Trickey concerning "accepting the risk of leadership"
• Disciplined, aggressive execution of drops, boots, dash, waggle, sprint and roll-out techniques
• Mental aggressiveness and being assertive in leadership
• Opportunity for families and coaches to be on the field and experience camp with their sons/quarterbacks

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort
Scotland is alive and well in Oregon. Not only do we have the peat-y whiskey from Oregonian booze genius, Steve McCarthy, but we have the bonnie bluffs of Bandon Dunes as well! I'm no golfer, but when I saw the photos of Bandon Dunes on the Southern Oregon Coast, I started thinking that I should consider graduating from the Lilli-putt-putt land of minigolf. With a backdrop of Oregon's rugged coast, Bandon Dunes is true to the spirit of Scotland's timeless game. The grand, sweeping, untamed shores stretch for miles and the grassy dunes roll to the sea. I'm getting heart palpitations looking at the photos on their site. Must... go... there.
"Beyond breathtaking scenery lies the game of golf in its truest form. This is a thinker's course. Winds are ever-present, and the varying elements create a new experience each time you play."
If I am in this state of delirium over a golf resort, I can't even imagine what a true lover of the sport would be experiencing upon finding this hole-y Shangri-La. I'm guessing that there may be actual drooling or maybe some comforting rocking back and forth? This would be a great gift for the golf lover in your life. The courses, lodging and restaurants all look phenomenal.
"Accommodations provide a refuge of relative seclusion. Chrome Lake Rooms offer double king and two-room lofts. Lily Pond Rooms offer two queen beds, while the Lodge offers single rooms and three suites, many with dramatic golf course views. Our Grove Cottages are designed specifically for a foursome of golfers, with four private rooms and a shared parlor and patio. The Inn at Bandon Dunes provides single king and double queen beds just a short walk from the Lodge."
Located on the property at Bandon Dunes, there are full service restaurants, lounges, golf shops, hot tub, sauna, exercise room and locker rooms. When making reservations, ask about massage and spa features. You'll find a 32-acre practice center to hone your shot for the course. There is also a one-acre practice putting green and bunker practice area.
Bandon Dunes is conveniently located just 5 minutes from the seaside town of Bandon off Highway 101 and just 25 minutes from the Southwest Regional Airport in North Bend, served daily by flights from Portland and San Francisco.

Just as consistent columnar data aids compression, you can improve compression optimization by sorting data before loading. comScore uses Syncsort DMExpress software to sort data alphanumerically before it's loaded into Sybase IQ. Where 10 bytes of unsorted data can be compressed to three or four bytes, says Michael Brown, comScore's chief technology officer, pictured above, 10 bytes of sorted data can typically be crunched down to one byte. "That makes a huge difference in the volume of data we have to store," Brown says.
Sorting also can streamline processing. comScore sorts URL data to minimize Web site taxonomy lookups. Instead of loading the 40 URLs for Web site pages in the order they were visited during a session, sorting might reveal that 20 of those pages were on Facebook, 12 were on GMail and the balance were at NYTimes.com. The sorted data would trigger just three site lookups whereas unsorted data might trigger many redundant lookups if the visitor bounced back and forth among just a few sites. "That saves a lot of CPU time and a lot of effort," Brown says. It's possible to sort data with SQL statements, and custom scripts, but sorting is also a common feature in data-integration software from IBM, Informatica, Oracle, SAP, SAS, Syncsort, and others. At truly large scale, Hadoop is an option for sorting and other processing steps.

Latrine duty -- it wasn't popular for lads in the army and pretty much remains on the bottom end of domestic chores. Singer-songwriter James Gordon recorded a breakthrough musical number some years ago.
"Men don't clean toilets," goes the refrain, "if they say they do they lie."
Nice tune, but the problem for me is I disagree with the premise. I do clean toilets, and am a man. I also lie frequently, but not in this case. I'm the only one in our household who will scrub that most essential of furnishings.
I got around to realizing this was my personal job when divvying up the chores years ago. I noticed when Shunda took a crack at it, she would pour the blue cleanser in and walk away. When, an hour or two later, I went to use the facilities, the blue stuff would still be there, inviting me to turn it green.
I believe I went to the trouble of explaining that it doesn't work that way, despite what the commercials for the cleaning products say. You have to use a brush and some elbow grease.
This idea of pouring in the liquid and walking away, frankly, reminds me of tactics in the world of politics and bureaucracy. Make a crappy announcement at 4 p.m. on a Friday when the legislature and offices are closing, run for the hills and hope for the best.
So as toil-intensive as it is, I get down on my hands and knees, and even do my best to clean under the rim, trying to get it as close to that new-looking, white state as I can.
On the other hand, I don't do floors and I don't pick up after myself, so I'm not trying to sound like I deserve a medal or anything.
I've asked our girls, more or less rhetorically, who's going to carry out this task in their homes when they're on their own? Do they think, because Dad did it, that their significant other will be the same? Perhaps men really don't clean toilets, and I'm either living in a space-time warp or am a woman trapped in a man's body.
Wouldn't it be nice to think that our technical geniuses, instead of coming up with smaller I-pods, bigger TVs and cameras with more megapixels, could turn their attention to a self-cleaning toilet?
Anyway, you can only hope your humble sacrifice will inspire your kids, which brings me to today's topic.
School's out. I've been trying to think of things to keep the kids doing something in addition to just sleeping in till noon, then sitting on the computer, particularly when I have no end of outdoor jobs to last through summer and fall.
One of them is to repair the doors on our garden shed. They've gotten pretty dilapidated over the years. I've patched them here and there, but finally decided it's time to do it right -- before I'm forced to go out and buy a new shed.
Enter an idle Molly -- Tessa too, if I can interest her. Molly was pretty good at shop class when she took it a couple of years ago. I know, because I got the wooden model of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine -- with fully functional wheels -- one Father's Day to prove it.
Take a little of that know-how and handywoman ability and, you never know, maybe I can just sit back and give orders. I've never been in such a position before.
We went out the other day, me with the tape measure, Molly with a paper and crayon. I know, it's sounding like illicit child labour more and more, but she couldn't locate a pencil. I made some measurements and got Molly to scratch down a list of materials we'll need: lumber, hardware, the whole deal.
So once I pick up the goods, we'll lay out our plans, practise some basics then start building doors.
Not that I want to put her off indoor domestic chores forever, but I suspect she might find this a little more fun.

OCEANA COUNTY, MI – A report that a 13-year-old Oceana County boy fired a 20-gauge shot gun at an alleged assailant is under investigation.
Lt. Craig Mast from the Oceana County Sheriff's Office said shortly after 7:10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 1, police were called to a mobile home in the 2500 block of West Shelby Road near 86th Avenue.
Police were told that the boy fired a 20-gauge shotgun toward a man he believed was breaking into his mobile home. The boy's father was at work at the time, Mast said.
The alleged assailant apparently fled the area, Mast said, and it isn't clear whether anyone was struck by gunfire.
Deputies formed a perimeter around the area and didn't locate anyone, nor did they find footprints or a blood trail, Mast said. Evidence shows the gun was fired, he said.
The investigation remained ongoing as of 11 a.m. Tuesday, he said.

When Ambassador Dengue Fever told me that Billy wasn't dead after all but half-alive and back in town, skulking through the Transit System's blackened veins feral and broken and scrawling weird mambo-jahambo on the walls with chalk – chalk! as if spraypaint never existed – I pretty much just shrugged a whatever shrug and kept on selling hydroponic sensimilla to stainless steel refrigerator owners living in neighborhoods that had just been invented, and hoping Karen would let me back in the apartment soon, me being her son and all, even if I had been expelled from fucking Whoopty Woo Ivy League We's A Comin' Academy on account of some Upper Eastside whiteboys' inability to keep my botanical enterprises, of which they were the major beneficiaries, on the low.
Dengue was blind as Lady Justice, and so fat now that his eyes wouldn't have done him much good anyway, obscured by slabs of blubber when he laughed or even spoke. He dressed like an African tribal chief in a Hollywood movie, or a hip hop back-up dancer circa 1989: voluminous kente-cloth, chestload of polished wooden beads, an ahnk-handled staff that had evolved from prop to crutch. The nation-state for which he served was a graffiti crew called The Immortal Five, the name long smudged with irony: Amuse murdered, Sabor dead by his own hand, Cloud 9 incarcerated, Dengue having fallen asleep one night with perfect vision and awakened from a nightmare permanently sightless, and my father, Billy – Rage – Billy Rage – a fugitive, missing in action, last seen sixteen years ago, last heard from almost twelve and incoherent even then.
This is the first chapter of lit hopper Adam Mansbach's "great American graffiti novel," Rage is Back, available on Amazon (2013).

He was a caring man to his wife and four daughters and that's how his family and friends knew him.
"He was a very pleasant man," sister-in-law and friend Irene Ribble said. "He was a good man and took care of his daughters."
Ross Creamer of Portales died at the age of 82 at the Baylor Hospital in Garland, Texas. Creamer was born on July 21, 1921, in Dickens, Texas, a town east of Lubbock. He was born to Joseph Wesley and Winnie Battle Creamer.
He was raised in the Dora area and went to high school at a time where there were high schools in Dora, Rogers, Causey and even Lingo.
"We were very good friends," Melvin Littlejohn said. "I went to Rogers High School and was in the same class as his younger brother, Keith Creamer."
Now, Dora high school is the only one left. Ross Creamer played basketball in Dora.
"I've known him for a long time," Littlejohn said. "He was a great basketball player. He was five years older than me and Keith. When I played for Rogers, I played against Keith, when he was playing for Dora."
Ross Creamer married Marie South on Feb. 2, 1941 in Portales. The couple moved to Corpus Christi for a period of time according to Littlejohn and they raised four daughters, Kathryn Long, Marcy James, Teri Glisson and Melissa Blair.
Ross Creamer was a veteran of World War II and served from 1942 to 1945. He landed at Normandy on D-Day and served in the Army's 28th Division, which was known as the "Bloody Buckets."

Reading all the comments in response to the Danziger Bridge shooting trial has brought back a lot of memories and stirred some new emotions.
Many people responding to the news are making comments about how the police and public should have acted based on events they have experienced in their own lives. Unless you were in New Orleans during the flood and actively involved with the public, I'm doubtful you could understand how people were affected and emotionally distressed.
I worked in EMS in another state for many years and have been to some awful mass casualty events, but being in New Orleans during the flood was one of the most frightening, stressful, confusing and yet rewarding experiences of my life. I am in no one way condoning the actions of any police officers who may have overreacted and/or used excessive force. But having been in the middle of some harrowing situations during that time, I understand how it could easily have happened.
New Orleans did not feel like an American city. It felt much like that of a lawless, third world country. In the early days of the flood, there was no direction, and people were in places they should not have been. The little law enforcement we did see was overworked and under-rested. So many people we encountered had guns, and many of the people needed mental health services and were volatile and unpredictable.
I am a middle-aged female and was on a boat with two former Navy SEALS. Both of the amazing individuals I shared this boat with compared New Orleans to their time in the military in other countries. We frequently heard gunfire, and during the Danziger shooting, we heard from others that the police were being fired upon. Again, I'm not excusing officers who wounded or killed others. I feel so badly for the victims and families.
But I also hate that these awful circumstances the officers were placed in may have pushed them to make a terrible decision they might not ordinarily have made.

With all the fervor around Dendreon's (NASDAQ:DNDN) Provenge there is renewed interest in cancer vaccines, a therapeutic approach which deals with stimulating the body's immune system to attack tumors. This approach is based on the notion that our immune system is capable of recognizing and responding to various types of tumors, once it recognizes them as such. It is presumed that cancer cells are constantly created in our body, but in most cases, our immune system manages to recognize these cells and get rid of them by using an impressive repertoire of mechanisms. Unfortunately, in some cases, those cancer cells manage to evade the surveillance of the immune system and begin to multiply in an uncontrolled manner, leading to the creation of tumors. Almost ten years after the approval of Rituximab, the first monoclonal antibody for cancer, it seems like the time is right for another flavor of cancer immunotherapy - cancer vaccines.
In recent years, there have been some great improvements in the field of cancer therapy thanks to early diagnosis and new forms of therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies and nanoparticle-coated compounds. For over two decades, cancer vaccines have demonstrated impressive results in early pre-clinical trials, which gave rise to great expectations within the scientific community. Unfortunately, scientists couldn't replicate the early phase success into clinical trials, but there are finally some encouraging signs . With several promising candidates which are currently being evaluated in clinical trials, the cancer vaccine field might become the next big thing in cancer therapy.
An immune response is a complicated, dynamic and multi-phased process, which is orchestrated by a vast number of factors. Like many other biological processes, the immune response is certainly not easily manipulated. The ideal cancer immunotherapy should target cancer cells exclusively without attacking any normal cells in the body. The problem is that biological systems are so complex and sometimes even chaotic that it is virtually impossible to predict the specific kind of treatment that would yield the desirable effect. Unfortunately, drug development is still limited to the classic trial and error approach, which produces dozens and hundreds of ineffective potential treatments for every one that actually works. Bearing in mind that tumors are actually cells that, by definition, manage to evade the immune system ( they wouldn't exist otherwise), manifesting an immune response directed at those cells is even more challenging. Cell Genesys (CEGE) might have found a formula for an effective, specific cancer vaccine with limited side effects - GVAX. Their approach can theoretically be applied to many kinds of cancer, though the most advanced results are with Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer [HRPC].
GVAX is similar to traditional vaccines against pathogens like bacteria and viruses. Such traditional vaccines involve the injection of a weakened pathogen or some structural part of it, which is identified and recognized by the immune system. A minor immune response against the vaccine results in immunity towards the pathogen so that next time it enters the body, there will be a swift, strong and systemic response against it. Cell Genesys is taking a similar approach but with some differences. First, the pathogens in this case are cancer cells which are not external pathogens but self derived cells. Second, the vaccine is not given to healthy people but only to people who already have advanced stage prostate cancer. Third, whereas most pathogens can be recognized by the immune system even without any external help, (vaccines simply give the immune system a nice head start), the ultimate goal with GVAX is to make the immune system recognize those cancer cells which it cannot recognize in the first place.
GVAX for Prostate Cancer is comprised of 2 lines of whole prostate tumor cells. These cell lines are considered to be very advanced and malignant so they contain many common antigens (an element recognized by the immune system) found in metastatic prostate c!
ancer. The cells have been modified to constantly produce and secrete granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). GM-CSF is an important immune stimulatory molecule that leads to the activation of a group of immune cells called Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs). It's the combination of the antigens GVAX cells express and the GM-CSF they secrete that should generate an effective immune response against prostate tumors.
Before being injected into patients, the cells undergo lethal irradiation in order to prevent them from multiplying, turning them into a scaffold for presenting many cancer related antigens. The basic idea is that once the body's immune system encounters those GVAX cells, the GM-CSF will stimulate the immune cells to recognize those cells as a threat and initiate an immune response directed at them.
The first stage of the immune response against GVAX is swallowing and processing of the cells by APCs. The next step is the most crucial one, where those APCs migrate to special areas called lymph nodes and present parts of the GVAX cells to other immune system components. By doing so, APCs act as the body's "intelligence arm", alerting the immune system that there are unwanted guests in the body and show what they look like.
Once that happens, another type of immune cells called lymphocytes is created and activated. Those lymphocytes can specifically recognize certain antigens that are presented to them by APCs. They are released into the blood stream, looking for those intruders. Upon the encounter with the GVAX cells, the lymphocytes attack and destroy them either by secreting antibodies or by attacking cells with toxic compounds. Hopefully, each patient's prostate tumor cells will express at least one common antigen with the GVAX cells. As a result, once lymphocytes come across a prostate tumor, they will attack it, even though until that point, the tumor managed to evade the immune system
Using whole cancer cells instead of only structural parts might prove to be a good vaccination vehicle. The GVAX cells express a large repertoire of antigens, as compared to Dendreon's Provenge , which may prove advantageous. Where Provenge might trigger an immune response against only one specific antigen (However, there is a risk that the immune response triggered by GVAX will not be focused enough; hence, it might be a reaction against a wider spectrum of antigens but also a less potent one.
Another attribute of GVAX is that it is not personalized therapy. Although tumors from different patients share some common antigens, there are differences between tumors each patient bares. The GVAX cells might resemble to the actual tumor cells in the patient's body, but they are certainly not identical so that might lead to a compromise in specificity. On the other hand, such a universal solution might be much cheaper and simpler to use. There is no need to take anything out of the patient's body, but simply inject the vaccine. On top of those off-the-shelf qualities, using GVAX might even have an advantage over using each patient's tumors because one of the main problems of advanced stage tumors is the fact they constantly change via mutations and may even spread to other organs as metastases, which may not be recognized by vaccination using the primary tumor. Using two advanced prostate cancer cell lines for the vaccine might trigger an immune response against those metastases even before they develop.
Another advantage of the GVAX approach is the fact that the first stage of the immune response occurs inside the body (in vivo), the natural environment in which immune cells typically operate in. In the case of Provenge, the initial response occurs in an "antigen cassette" outside the body.
Clinical Trials
There have been 3 main clinical trials evaluating GVAX's safety and efficacy. In a phase I/II trial, 21 patients received what we can now call weekly very low doses of GVAX (120 million cells). Although there wasn't any substantial clinical effect, GVAX proved to have a favorable safety profile. Phase I trials are generally used to assess the safety and maximal tolerated dose of a drug candidate by monitoring side effects. In many cases, Phase I clinical trials involve healthy participants, but in cancer therapy most drugs have so many severe side effects, that they are conducted only among cancer patients. The only goal in such trials is to see whether there are toxicities and side effects related to the drug, and in the case of GVAX, things look pretty good.
The next trial was a phase II trial (G-9803) that included 34 patients who were given 500 million cell prime intradermal injection followed by 100 or 300 million cells every 14 days for 24 weeks or until disease progression. Median survival rate was 26.2 months, better than the 19.3 months Taxotere (the gold standard for HRPC treatment) achieved in a recent large scale trial.
The second Phase II trial (G-0010) included 80 patients who were divided into 3 groups. Group 1 received 200 million cells monthly (Low dose), Group 2 received 200 million cells biweekly (medium dose) Group 3 received 500 million cells as an initial dose followed by 300 million cells biweekly (high dose).
When the 3 groups were examined for antibody generation against at least one of the the GVAX cells, the results were 87% for the high dose, 72% for the medium dose and 40% for the low dose. I couldn't find any details about Median survival rate for the whole trial, but the compan!
y stated that the 22 patients who received the highest dose ha!
d a median survival rate 35 months. That's an impressive number, no doubt, especially when compared to the less than 20 months Taxotere achieves.
The Bad News:
In clinical trials size does matter. Small-scale trials involving tens of patients are a nice starting point, but mustn't be regarded as statistically significant. Phase II trials are generally conducted in order to find the optimal dose or regimen. Only a large multi-center trial which involves at least several hundred patients can be relied upon. Actually, history is full of promising drugs that had positive results in small-scale experiments but failed to demonstrate efficacy in larg!
e scale trials. Another reason to be suspicious is that four patients have withdrawn consent to further follow-up and thus were censored in the analysis. I don't have any information about these specific 4 patients but I assume that when a patient withdraws consent for participating in the assessment, it doesn't mean he was too happy with the drug.
Another must have is a comparison with a placebo or another drug in the same trial. Moreover, in order to neutralize unwanted effects, the trial must be a double blind trial, which means neither the patients nor the doctors know who's getting the drug and who's getting a placebo or the standard therapy. In all the trials so far, patients who participated in the trial knew that they got the drug since nobody actually received a placebo.
The Good News:
The fact that a cancer vaccine shows favorable results in two separate phase II trials is very encouraging. Though I couldn't find any information about response rates of patients in the low and medium arm of the 2nd phase II trial, there is obviously a dose dependent reaction in some immunological and clinical parameters. It is very common to see variability in patient reaction in those kinds of trials. In many cases there are people for whom the drug is much more beneficiary than others, regardless of the dose each patient received. Researchers can't always put their finger on the reasons for those differences. This time, the better response rate correlated with higher doses, implies that GVAX might actually have an effect.
The company compared the median survival results to historical results of Taxotere. In many cases, the comparable historic data is indeed, historical, which means that the data was obtained from old and irrelevant clinical trials. Luckily, only 2 months ago, Sanofi-Aventis proudly announced results of a large trial involving HRPC patients conducted between the years 2000-2002. The Overall median survival rate was 19.3 months. Again, one mustn't draw any definitive conclusions without a direct comparison, but this apparently impressive difference is more of a positive indication than a negative one.
Looking at popular therapy regimes for treating advanced cancer, it is pretty clear that a combination of several treatments achieves favorable results.
Most combinations involve drugs from different types, like the very common use of chemotherapy with hormonal treatment. Since cancer vaccines operate in a totally different manner when compared with other therapies, it therefore has good chances to complement current treatments. A current phase III trial is examining the effect of GVAX, given in combination with Taxotere. Combination with traditional chemotherapy might represent the highest potential for the treatment of advanced cancer.
Looking at results from published clinical trials, in many cases, clinical trials results are far from being satisfactory. Not only that most types of advanced cancers remain incurable, the improvement in survival of each new drug is sometimes marginal, ranging from few months to a year. We mustn't forget that patients typically enroll to clinical studies when they have no other choice. In other words, participants in those trials are in a rather advance, sometimes even terminal stage of the disease, which makes them a very challenging target. It is reasonable to assume that drugs which are marginally effective in clinical trials would become more effective when administered to the general population of patients, especially for those with earlier stage disease.
In summary, although GVAX's clinical results are still preliminary, it looks like this approach of using whole GM-CSF secreting cancer cells as a vaccine might be effective in treating Prostate cancer as well as many other kinds of cancers. Hopefully, Cell Genesys has found the delicate balance required in order to manifest a specific, tolerable immune response against different kinds of Cancers.

The Coptic Orthodox Church of St. Mark in Jersey City was the first Coptic church in the United States, according to Wikipedia, and the parish of more than 650 families continues to grow with the ongoing construction of a $3.2 million community center.
"With God's grace, the construction of St. Mark Community Center is the beginning of a new chapter in the history of St. Mark Church in Jersey City," said the Rev. Abraam Sleman,St. Mark's pastor, whose congregation is located in a city which is home to the largest Coptic population in the United States.
The three-story community center, which will have a full-size basketball court on the top floor, will be open to the community to participate in church planned activities and events such as Sunday school after liturgies, Bible study after vespers on Saturday evenings and periodic activities and services which will be announced on the church website at www.saintmark.com.
English as a second language classes for Arabic speakers from Egypt will also be taught at the center located, at West Side and Ege avenues. It will also feature classrooms for instructional enrichment, conference rooms, and a multipurpose room for large gatherings. Construction of the community center is aimed at providing a facility to enhance both spiritual and social growth, church officials said.
The church purchased several buildings at the community center's site between 1970 and 2004. On June 8, a groundbreaking ceremony was held and a ribbon cutting was performed by Papal Vicar the Rev. Saraphim El-Soryani, the North American representative of His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, the 118th and current Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.
On June 16, the buildings at the site were demolished to make way for the community center.
In 2012, the Coptic pope personally reviewed approved the plans for the community center which is expected to open in the spring.
"St. Mark's Church is now making a huge investment and commitment to the city of Jersey City and Ward B and undertaking the development of their new community center only amplifies their continued commitment to our community," Ward B Councilman Khemraj "Chico" Ramchal said.
"Our faith-based communities are an important asset to our neighborhoods in this ever changing world. St. Mark's Church has helped thousands of families and youth over the last 44 years. This jewel of a community center will enhance our southern end of the ward, congratulations on the new community center and Godspeed."
St. Mark's was established in 1970 as Coptic Christians fled Egypt to escape religious and political persecution.
A church spokeswoman said "Since its establishment, St. Mark's has helped immigrants assimilate by offering ESL and test prep classes, tutoring children, providing character education classes for adolescents, offering financial and academic advisement, home stabilization, and scheduling extracurricular activities to promote good health and fellowship in the community."

On a bit of a down note, the days are getting shorter and shorter.... The sun will set this evening at 8:08 but by next week the sun will be setting before 8 pm and by the end of the month setting at 7:25! One of the bad things about August. The average high for today is 82 by August 31 the average high is 76 so thing, on aveage, cooling off just a bit during the month... But not to worry ,if summer is or isn't your thing who can deny how beautiful the month of September is? Arguable the best month of the year! There's lots of great weather to still look foward to before Old Man Winter rears is ugly head.
Have a great Monday!

OMG. Brandi Glanville is taking flak for calling her younger son, Jake, some vulgar names on her podcast. Yet she refuses to be sorry for it! RELATED: Brandi Glanville does yoga in the park.
During her podcast, Brandi said her younger son openly defies her.
My son's name is Jake: He's 7, he's a complete a**hole, but we love him. Oh man, he's a d*ck, seriously. I told you to do this, he responds, 'Well, I lied!'
"He doesn't try to get out of it — he says, 'I lied,' then he shows his dimples!" The statuesque beauty said even her mother, Judith Ann Glanville, has observed the boy's unruly ways, calling it "total payback" for the hell she raised as a youngster. 'Payback is a b*tch!'
"I have an 11-year-old who's awesome. He doesn't lie, he's really sweet, he kisses me when I ask . . . he's my baby."
Brandi even joked she's already booked rehab for her younger son, Jake, down the road. I hope she's actually disciplining him NOW to curb this behavior. Radar Online interviewed Dr. Sue Cornbluth, an expert in parenting and childhood trauma. Dr. Cornbluth has never treated Brandi or Jake but did say:
What kind of mother would even say that about a 7-year-old that has a brain? That makes her look like an abusive, incompetent parent. [Using derogatory terms about a child] is not even funny. This is sending out the wrong message."
Well, Brandi, of course, is responding to the outburst via a twitter.
I joke about my kids &dogs being a**holes sometimes cuz honestly the can be but I love them more then life!!people that know me know that!
OMG I jokingly refer 2my kids&dogs as lil a**holes sometimes cuz they can be.my mom called us her lil- s**ts-stop taking things so seripusly [sic]
I know the name of the game for reality TV personalities (and all celebs, but especially the reality TV ones) is to Keep Getting Attention. I get it. It's the constant attention that keeps their shows going, yet I do think Brandi's comments went WAY over the line. I've felt sorry for her over the years with all love triangle drama she suffered when her husband left her, but it's hard to keep feeling sorry for her when she does things like this. Something tells me LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are going to be having fun with this one…

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Northeast Ohio Media Group editorial board interviewed three Democratic candidates running for the 25th district seat in the Ohio Senate Thursday.
Here's three quotes from former State Representatives Ed Jerse and Kenny Yuko, and Bedford Heights Councilman Thaddeus Jackson about their leadership skills and working with their colleagues across the aisle.
Thaddeus Jackson, Cleveland school teacher and former chairman of the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections:
"My top priority is jobs, and I came up with this idea because there are a lot of people in the minority community that are unemployed — we were thinking about going around to companies and finding those that have some jobs and giving them incentives to hire people for six months so they can get the job experience.
"I've been in politics for the past 40 years and I really enjoy the opportunity to help people. I don't mind reaching out to people who have some expertise to help me reach that goal. I'm a community organizer. My strength is putting people together."
Kenny Yuko, Cuyahoga County Executive Committee member and retired union organizer:
"I've got a tremendous track record of working with the Republicans and working with the Democrats. I don't care whose in charge, if it's a good idea, I'm going to fight for it, and that's what I've done in the past, and that's what I'm going to continue to do in the future.
"I'm going to stand on my record. I did a good job as a clothing buyer; I did a good job as a union organizer and representative; I think I went down to Columbus and I think I made the best of every opportunity that was out there."
Ed Jerse, retired Cuyahoga County director of regional collaboration and former Congressional candidate:
"There are 10 democrats in the State Senate and five will be leaving office within two years of the senator taking office, so this is a huge opportunity and a challenge to send someone down there who can be an effective senator and a voice for Northeast Ohio.
"I can go toe to toe with the people on the other side. We need someone who can fight back effectively on the Democratic side. You need someone who is willing to step up for transformational change."
For more information on the candidates, read our previous coverage.

Pesticides are widely used in agriculture to protect crops from insect infestation. An important application of this equipment is the possibility to analyze pesticides in water without pretreatment of the sample. Shimadzu has developed a system for injection of water samples using Nexera with LCMS-8030 including on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE).
Pesticides are widely used in agricultural products to protect crops from insect infestation during cultivation and product transport. The abuse of pesticides can cause significant environmental pollution in many areas, especially at the level of lakes, rivers, and aquifers. For this reason, one of the most important and attractive applications is the ability to analyze pesticides in water without pretreatment of the sample. In cooperation with Arpa Asti (Italy), Shimadzu developed a system for injection of water samples using a LCMS-8030 triple quadrupole in combination with a Nexera UHPLC instrument with on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) to identify a mixture of 48 substances.
Materials and Methods
Analytical Conditions
The UFMS series (Ultra Fast Mass Spectrometry) from Shimadzu not only provides extremely high speed analysis but also impressive high sensitivity, to meet the growing demand for trace-level quantitation in various application fields. The newest member of the UFMS-family, the LCMS-8050 features the world's fastest data acquisition rates and best-in-class sensitivity. Method transfer of other models (LCMS-8030 and LCMS-8040) can easily be adopted.

The publications distributed by the Jehovah's Witnesses make very startling claims about themselves. Typical are these excerpts from the July 1, 1973, Watchtower: "Jehovah's organization alone, in all the earth, is directed by God's Holy Spirit or active force … To it alone God's Sacred Word, the Bible, is not a sealed book. The only organization on earth that understands the 'deep things of God'." (p.402) The April 1, 1972 Watchtower adds:"Of course, it is easy to say that this group acts as a 'prophet' of God. It is another thing to prove it. The only way that this can be done is to review the record. What does it show?" (p. 197)Do the published interpretations of Scripture and prophecy by this organization support these lofty claims, or do the reveal them to be merely the opinions and speculations of men? What does the record show? Professor Emeritus Edmond Gruss (The Master's College, Santa Clarita, CA) examines the many prophetic predictions the Watchtower has made

Oswego, NY -- Almost 3,000 National Grid customers in Oswego County are without power this afternoon after a string of thunderstorms moved across Central New York.
Oswego County 911 reported the storm took down limbs and a number of electrical wires.
At 4 p.m., 2,821 customers in the county were without power, according to the National Grid Web site. The town of Hastings had the most customers without power, with 940 in the dark. National Grid has not yet forecast how long it will take to restore power there.
The town of Parish had 729 without power. Service was forecast to be restored by 5 p.m., according to the National Grid Web site.
Thunderstorms are continuing to move throught the area, the National Weather Service warns. At 4:06 p.m., the weather service warned of a severe thunderstorm near Cuyler in Cortland County which is tracking through southern Onondaga County and southern Madison County.

Admit it, Red Sox fans: You were hoping for another night of Pedro Martinez pitching at Yankee Stadium, too.
I'll certainly acknowledge as much. With the Phillies' 8-6 win in Game 5 of the World Series tonight, the remaining games should be pretty captivating, beginning with Pedro's likely start Wednesday night in Game 6.
The end of this series also becomes interesting because the Yankees will likely start Andy Pettitte and C.C. Sabathia on three days of rest. That strategy appeared to backfire on them tonight, when A.J. Burnett allowed six earned runs in two innings while also pitching on short rest.

I read an article in the Escanaba Daily Press where Congressman Dan Benishek says people are unemployed because they don't want to work. Frankly, I couldn't believe this. I have family, friends and neighbors that have been looking for work for months or even years.
To suggest that people are lazy and don't want to work is ridiculous. Who doesn't know people that would take work if they could get it? Good jobs that provide livable wages and affordable health care are hard to come by in Michigan, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist (or a doctor) to figure that out.
What has Congressman Benishek done to bring jobs to the U.P.? He is a do-nothing congressman.

text: New Delhi: Indiaâs cricket chiefs are confident they will secure the governmentâs clearance to host Pakistan for a short tour later this year, an official said on Tuesday.The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has invited Pakistan to play three one-dayers and two Twenty20 matches in December-January, the first bilateral contests between the arch-rivals in five years. âWe will of course need to take a formal clearance from the government,â BCCI spokesman Rajiv Shukla told AFP. âBut I have spoken to both the home ministry and the external affairs ministry and we have no doubt the tour will take place.âThe rivals have not played a series since Pakistanâs tour of India in 2007, after cricket ties were snapped following the 2008 terror attacks on Mumbai.Shukla said the BCCI was not interested in hosting Pakistan at a neutral venue and so slotted in the matches when England, also due to tour India later this year, return home briefly for Christmas and New Year.Cricket ties have been the subject of discussions between the governments of both countries, who have been holding regular meetings in a bid to improve ties and eventually thrash out a peace agreement. The Indian and Pakistani cricket teams have only met in international tournaments since 2007.They clashed in the World Cup semi-final in of Mohali last year, a high-profile game that was attended by the prime ministers of the two countries. They also played during the Asia Cup in Bangladesh in March. Both matches were won by India.

Adam Lambert Covers Fault, Wants to 'Liberate the Masses'
It's Adam Lambert's Fault. At least for the spring.The singer graces the cover of the new issue of Fault, ditching the two-inch thick layer of black guyliner. His spiky black locks remain a constant, but he eased up on the eye gunk, allowing his crystal blue eyes to shine. He sheds the goth look in favor of dapper, thanks to that camel-colored jacket which tops a red plaid blazer paired with a bow tie.
In the accompanying feature, the former 'American Idol' fave declares that he is a "crazy hedonistic rebel who wants to liberate the masses." We're assuming his new album 'Trespassing,' which is due to drop this spring, will help the man known as Glambert achieve that goal.
Lambert admitted to not always being sure of himself, saying, "I'm not always as strong and confident as I may seem. I work hard to project pride and poise when faced with judgment and heartache. That is how I cope. I feel a bit of pressure to set a certain example that suggests that I deserve my place in this industry. I'm hard on myself and critical."
The openly gay Lambert revealed that prior to meeting his boyfriend Sauli Koskinen – the one he had that domestic dustup with over the holidays — he had so many relationship ups and downs.
"I was always falling for the wrong guys, which caused my self worth to suffer," the singer said with refreshing candor. "This is just some of what the album explores."
