- Abstract
- Complementary one-, two- and three-dimensional tests for detecting the presence of substructure in clusters of galaxies are applied to recently obtained data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The sample of 25 clusters used in this study includes 16 clusters not previously investigated for substructure. Substructure is detected at or greater than the 99 per cent confidence level in at least one test for 21 of the 25 clusters studied here. From the results, it appears that low-richness clusters commonly contain subclusters participating in mergers. About half of the clusters have two or more components within 0.5 h(-1) Mpc of the cluster centroid, and at least three clusters (Abell 1139, Abell 1663 and Abell S333) exhibit velocity-position characteristics consistent with the presence of possible cluster rotation, shear, or infall dynamics. The geometry of certain features is consistent with influence by the host supercluster environments. In general, our results support the hypothesis that low-richness clusters relax to structureless equilibrium states on very long dynamical time-scales (if at all).

Syracuse Orange Return To Drum
Rookie Syracuse football coach Scott Shafer is bringing the team back to Fort Drum for preseason training camp for the second straight year.
The Orange will travel north during the week of August 12 to continue a bond it shares with the military personnel at the Army post.
With help from the 10th Mountain Division, the Orange will incorporate elements of military training into the daily preseason camp.
The team will practice on Sligh Field, hold meetings in a battalion headquarters, eat in a mess hall, and sleep in barracks.
Players and coaches also will participate in various military activities, including Army physical training and small unit leadership seminars.
The week will culminate with a scrimmage August 15 in front of the soldiers and their families.

I think I'm about to have a nervous break down. I hate breast feeding! I feel like such a failure (I'm typing through the tears) for wanting to pack it in, but I honestly feel like I have no choice. My husband and I are butting heads and he feels the only way he can "help" is to be able to offer the baby a bottle. Well, she doesn't do well with bottles and real nipples. I gave in and gave her a pacifier last night because after FOUR hours at the breast I was getting raw, and then all day today she has refused the breast and fussed. It's horrible. I just changed her and her urine is now bright yellow, which I know is an indication of dehydration, yet it feels like she's been at my breast all day, but obviously with no results because of her fussing.
Without the nipple confusion she has a good latch, and has had good weight gain until now etc etc, but I just can't take it anymore! I have injuries from a car crash that are now getting inflamed because I simply cannot get comfortable. I have E breasts and NOTHING I do seems to be comfortable. I dread nursing because it's so unbearable. I have thoracic outlet syndrome in my shoulders and two ruptured disks in my back - nursing HURTS!
I begged my doctor for a breast reduction 3 years ago but he refused to do it until I had kids. Well now I have a baby and I can't nurse anyway because the weight of my breasts kills my back!
I've had a LC come and help. I felt good for that day (mentally) but now I'm back to being in miserable pain.
I want to pump so badly but then what do I do when she wants to comfort nurse and can't because she's all confused? I give her a pacifier? The thought of her getting that comfort and security from a hunk of plastic makes my heart sink, but I don't know what else to do.
I wish I could pump to supplement breast feeding but it will hurt my nipples when she can't go between the two.
Sorry for rambling. It just feels like no matter what I do I'll be failing her.

Azrieli requirements: Currently, the Azrieli MS requires eight core courses (24 credits), two electives (6 credits), and 6 credits of Professional Enhancement Practicum (fieldwork). Two Revel courses would count toward the fulfillment of the two required electives.
Revel requirements: The Revel MA requires a concentration in one of five fields: Bible, Talmud, Medieval Jewish History, Modern Jewish History, or Jewish Philosophy (with comprehensive exams taken at the successful conclusion of coursework). Each of these concentrations include either six or eight required courses (18 or 24 credits) in the respective discipline, with the remaining four or two courses (12 or 6 credits) to be fulfilled with electives in other fields. Students in the dual program are granted transfer credit for the following two Azrieli courses: JED 5100 (Foundations of Jewish Education) and JED 5070 (Promoting Jewish Values, Spirituality and Identity).
As a result of the above modifications, students complete the dual master's program by taking 54 credits (30 credits at Azrieli, of which 6 are for fieldwork, and 24 credits at Revel) instead of 66, since 6 credits of their Azrieli coursework would count toward the Revel degree and 6 credits of their Revel coursework would count toward their Azrieli degree.
Please note that students may not switch into the dual master's program if they have completed six courses in either school (or both).

This graphic shows a gap in a protoplanetary disk of dust and gas whirling around the nearby red dwarf star TW Hydrae.
The gap's presence is best explained as due to the effects of a growing, unseen planet that is gravitationally sweeping up material and carving out a lane in the disk, like a snow plow.
In the NASA Hubble Space Telescope image at left, a gap can be seen about 7.5 billion miles away from the star in the center of the disk. If the putative planet orbited in our solar system, it would be roughly twice Pluto's distance from our Sun. The image was taken in near-infrared light by the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS).
Astronomers used a masking device on NICMOS to block out the star's bright light so that the disk's structure could be seen. The Hubble observations reveal that the gap, which is 1.9 billion miles wide, is not completely cleared out. The graphic at right shows the gap relative to the star. TW Hydrae resides 176 light-years away in the constellation Hydra (the Sea Serpent).
The Hubble observations were taken on June 17, 2005.

I think rebounding is going to be a big issue for this team.
Oscar Bellfield, Chris Copeland, Mychel Thompson, John Shurna or Henry Sims
Who get's the spots?
(I am assuming Wallace gets the spot.)
Current Roster:
JR Smith
I think Copeland or Shurna get the spot. Hard decisions.
I think rebounding is going to be a big issue for this team.
No - I mean I think rebounding will be a weak area for the team. Little physical strength down low.
Shurna and Novak are both lights out shooters. Imagine JR Smith cutting to the whole and having two perimeter shooters open to pass to?
Also, Shurna has a driving ability.
Give it to Shurna, dude.
He's Novak endorsed plus he can get to the rim, he'll drain the trey, he'll do all these good things for us.
Which ever one can play PF better which is Shurna I believe.
Why did we have to sign james white.. We have so many better options even in training camp than him...
I don't think we can cut White.
Doesn't guaranteed mean he stays the year?
No way we are a poor rebounding team with Chandler and Camby as Stellar rebounders, Melo can board for his position and STAT is solid. KT and Sheed will still be physical on the boards plus JR/Kidd are great rebounders for their positions. We ranked 18th last year and our back ups for the front court were Jorts and JJ, think we'll be fine.
I got Copeland because he's another big body.
I think Shuma is the better of the two but with Novak what's the point.
Not a huge Copeland fan (plays too weak) but if there is gonna be a postion that there is potential for injury its the 4 spot and we need as many ready bodies as possible.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
I've been going back and forth between our preseason game and the Yankees game. I gotta say from what I've seen every single one of these guys looks useless. TMac made a mistake, we coulda used him. Thompson and Copeland looked beyond turrrble
kind of early, but...
copeland looked horrid. made 5 stupid fouls and made 4 stupid turnovers.
Copeland is a terrible basketball player.

By Freedom New Mexico
Much of what most Americans know about Washington's wasteful ways, they know because of the Government Accountability Office (formerly the General Accounting Office), an apolitical arm of Congress that audits and investigates federal agencies and activities.
But whether GAO will remain the credible, nimble, relatively objective and independent watchdog it's been, or become just another lethargic and bloated federal bureaucracy, is now open to question.
After a long battle, GAO analysts last week voted to become members of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers. GAO head David Walker, who was badgered by congressional Democrats over his resistance to the change, pledged to work with the new union, making the best of things.
But it may well be the beginning of a downhill slide for the agency — just as unionism accompanied the stagnation and decline of every other industry or entity in which it's taken hold.
That would be a blow to average taxpayers, who will be losing an important ally in the fight against government waste, fraud and mismanagement.
"This is a great and historic day for GAO," said one analyst who backed the union. "We need to restructure the incentives in this agency so that the talents and gifts of each employee are utilized to the maximum."
But it's likely a union will have the opposite effect. Experience shows that unions are hostile to restructuring incentives so the talents and gifts of each employee are utilized to the maximum. Just look at the hostility teachers unions show toward merit or performance pay.
Unions aren't interested in maximizing talents or "utilization," but in maximizing compensation for members, while minimizing performance, productivity and workload.
Did any heavily unionized American industry ever become more competitive or productive as a result? The answer is obvious. Will the management and efficiency experts inside GAO maintain their edge, once the inertia, complacency and poor productivity that characterize union shops take root? We doubt it.
Central to GAO's effectiveness as a watchdog is the perception that it operates in an apolitical fashion, even though it answers to Congress.
But unions are political animals. Most of them strongly support the Democratic Party (and vice-versa, which explains why Walker was pressured by Congress to go along with the change). Some politicking inevitably will creep into the workplace, despite federal rules against it. And this could over time alter the objectivity and focus of GAO's work.
Will unionized GAO analysts be less likely to highlight federal workplace problems linked to the presence of unions? Will a strong union/Democratic Party bias toward big government begin to bias GAO's work, or moderate the search for waste and inefficiency, lest the reputation of government agencies or programs suffer? We fear this could happen.
According to one report, GAO analysts hope the new union fights for closer ties between them and congressional committee staff. These interactions were limited by former Comptroller General Charles Bowsher, probably with an eye toward maintaining GAO's independence. We would be wary of such a change. These committees are highly politicized entities, which push the partisan agendas of the party in charge.
Having committee staff and GAO analysts working hand-in-hand will undermine GAO's independence and could taint its work.
Once that happens, its effectiveness as an honest broker and nonpartisan watchdog is destroyed. It then becomes just another attack dog for the party in charge.

Honesdale Borough Council bylaws decree that a tied vote by the council must be broken by the mayor. Mayor Ed Langendoerfer was called on to exercise his vote more than once at the council's May 13 monthly meeting. Councilman James L. Brennan was absent. All other council members were present.
The first business with which council members took issue was the request by a Madison Township winery for permission to sell wine on Wednesdays and Fridays at the Honesdale Farmer's Market. After providing evidence of all necessary licenses and permits, the owner of the small family-run winery assured the council that sales would be conducted by family members only, acting in strict accordance with Pennsylvania State laws governing the sale of alcoholic beverages. Langendoerfer's vote sealed council approval.
Although it seemed apparent that all council members and borough officials were in favor of the proposed speed-minder for Church and Main Streets, there was disagreement about its implementation and maintenance. The $3,200 purchase price of the speed-minder, which will be located alternately on Church and Main Streets, is being partially offset by a Greater Honesdale Partnership donation. GHP Executive Director Gail M. Tucker made clear that it will require minimal maintenance, including monthly overnight charging and a one-time software installation. A GHP associate explained that the speed-minder has a dual purpose: as it informs drivers of their speed, it also collects data useful to law enforcement officers, zoning and planning board members, and Department of Public Works officials. Data collected will include the number of cars passing it, the speed of those cars, and 24-hour traffic patterns. Implementation and maintenance issues resolved, the council approved installation of the speed-minder.
Representatives of the Honesdale Little Baseball Association (HLBA) addressed the council, giving a brief history of the group and its long-time venue, Scott Kinzinger Sports Complex at 525 Grove St. They pointed out that HLBA designed, built, and maintained that venue from its inception in 1976 as one small baseball diamond, to its current status as a sophisticated sports complex with amenities that include multiple fields for several sports, locker rooms, concession stands, spectator seating, and parking facilities. They reminded the council that all development therein was accomplished without expenditure of a single taxpayer dollar. In recognition of that accomplishment, HLBA asked to enter into a 99-year lease of the complex with the borough, at a cost of $1. Council approved the request.
In other news, it was announced that the Honesdale Municipal Pool will open on Saturday, June 15.

In facing an opponent with a 6-foot-10 center and a 6-8 forward in a Division III state-tournament semifinal, Ready players might as well have been right-handed men forced to compete left-handed in an arm-wrestling tournament.
The Knights had to abandon their aggressive game of slashing to the basket, screening for midrange jump shots, sneaking for back-door layups and shooting free throws.
The size of Cleveland Villa Angela-St. Joseph's 6-10 Carlton Bragg and 6-8 Derek Pardon and athletic, muscular 6-2 star guard Brian Parker proved to be too much for Ready in a 55-40 loss before 8,914 fans yesterday in Value City Arena.
It was a close game until the Vikings (22-7) scored 12 straight points to take a 52-35 lead with 2:51 remaining.
"We don't play that perimeter-oriented," Ready coach Don Worstell said. "Like any team that takes the floor, we want easier shots. We just kind of ran out of gas the early part of the fourth quarter."
Unable to work the ball inside, the Knights shot three-pointers from difficult angles. They made 8 of 29 from behind the arc and 15 of 53 overall.
Ready (21-6) got 13 offensive rebounds, including four from Josh Gantz, but the ball had to be kicked out to the perimeter with VASJ's big men blotting out the basket.
"We didn't hit as many shots as we would have liked," Gantz said. "To win that game, we had to hit our open shots."
Slick ball movement and fast feet helped Ready get enough open looks to lead for much of the second quarter.
A three-pointer by Shane Lee from the top of the key gave the Knights their first lead, 20-19, with 4:09 left in the first half. A jumper from the baseline by Matt Yoho made it 24-21.
Worstell said a key swing was when the Vikings scored the last six points of the quarter on a free throw by Bragg, a three-pointer by Simon Texidor and a fast-break layup by Parker just before the buzzer to lead 27-24.
Another major turn was when Gantz appeared to be undercut banking in a layup but was called for his third foul with 5:48 left in the third quarter. A three-point play would have tied the score, 30-30.
"I thought that was an exceptionally athletic play by Josh," Worstell said. "He is extremely hard to draw a charge on. But the block-charge is a hard call to make. I don't fault them" for calling it.
Ready point guard Kelly Culbertson hit a three-pointer just before the end of the third quarter to cut the deficit to 40-35, but VASJ made its 12-point run to begin the fourth quarter.
Vikings coach Babe Kwasniak, who was a scrappy, fearless Ready-type of player for VASJ and Army, was impressed by his opponent.
"That team scared — terrified — me," Kwasniak said. "You see Dayton and Harvard (in the NCAA tournament)? How do those teams win? Well, they have seniors. They have experience. Those were tough (Ready) kids. They defensed us as well as anyone this year. They have that football mentality. You could see the tears in their eyes. I feel for them."
The Knights knew exactly what their third appearance in the state tournament since 2002 and fifth overall did for the school.
"This means a lot," Culbertson said. "We have a great senior class in all sports. We had a great season. I hope people outside and Ready realize that with hard work you can accomplish anything."

Health study outlined in fracking moratorium; Proposed senate legislation also highlights health
March 13, 2013 —
ALBANY, NY — The two-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing that was passed by the New York State Assembly on March 7 calls for a health study of the process to be undertaken by a school of public health within the State University of New York following a model recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.
A press release from assembly speaker Sheldon Silver said the purpose of the study is to identify the risks associated with horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing, and to develop a long-term plan for monitoring, evaluating, tracking and mitigating potential public health impacts.
The bill passed by a roll call vote of 95 to 40. Similar bills, however, have passed in the House before, and then died in the Senate. This year, however, may be different because a member of the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC), which shares control of the Senate with Republicans, has introduced legislation that would impose a moratorium and also involves health impacts.
The bill introduced by Senator David Carlucci requires that the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) "shall not proceed to finalize and publish the revised Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement (SGEIS) prior to … the completion" of two current health studies, one being conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the other by the Geisinger Health System. Both studies are, at least, a couple of years from completion. The bill, which was endorsed by eight environmental groups, requires the New York State Commissioner of Health to take the independent studies into consideration in formulating his heath impact assessment.
The future of the bill, however, is far from certain. At lease one senator, whose district is located in the southern tier in the heart of the New York Marcellus Shale territory, is vowing to block the bill. Senator Thomas Libous said that he would work to ensure that it never reaches the floor for a vote.
In the meantime, at least one columnist speculated that Governor Andrew Cuomo had a hand in the proposed Senate legislation. New York Post columnist Fredric Dicker wrote, "Democratic and Republican lawmakers in the Senate claimed Cuomo helped members of the Independent Democratic Conference (IDC) draft a surprise proposal to delay fracking for at least two more years." He added that Cuomo aides had "strongly denied" the allegation.

- Abstract
- From observations with the GMOS multislit spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, we have obtained spectra for 39 globular cluster (GC) candidates in the Virgo giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4649 (M60), of which 38 are confirmed GCs. The clusters extend out to a radius of 260 arcsec (3.5 effective radii). We find no rotation of the GC system, with an upper limit of v/σ < 0.6 at a confidence level of 95 per cent. The GC velocity dispersion is constant with radius, within the uncertainties. We fit isotropic models to the GC and stellar kinematics; these models yield an (M/L)V around 16 at 200 arcsec radius (16 kpc), an increase of a factor of 2 from the central M/L. We also use the mass profile as derived from X-rays to determine the orbital structure. Using axisymmetric orbit-based models and the X-ray mass profile, we find the orbital distribution is close to isotropic within 100 arcsec, and becomes tangentially biased beyond. Furthermore, when using the X-ray profile, we find a better fit to the kinematics compared to using a constant M/L model. Thus, both isotropic and axisymmetric orbit-based models give support for the presence of a dark matter halo in NGC 4649.

What is in this article?:
- Top buzz from the 2013 Aspen Food & Wine Classic
- Employees, marketing and more
This is part of NRN's special coverage of the 2013 Food & Wine Classic held in Aspen, Colo., June 14-16.
During last weekend's Aspen Food & Wine Classic, I focused on the annual American Express Trade Program and checked out dozens of seminars, beverage tastings and parties around town. What's trending around the country?
• Meat is still king. At nearly every chef-driven party, the focus was on pork and beef. You couldn't swing a pig's tail around any party without hitting a chef with some sort of pork tattoo on his or her arm, leg, neck, etc. Off cuts, by the way, are what interest chefs.
• Top chefs dish on Dad's favorite meals
• Chefs, rancher talk nose-to-tail cooking
• More food and beverage coverage at NRN.com
• There's room for flexitarian influences, too. So many chefs have long lived with the view that meat is king. But there's a growing contingent who believe that vegetables can be as exciting as meat and should have their own place on the plate. "Nobody needs to eat meat three times a day. Introducing more vegetables into your diet makes sense," Mario Batali said.
• Keep evolving. New York-based chef Wylie Dufresne said he's adopted a singular mantra that keeps his business moving forward: Always ask why. "We all do lots of repetitive things in this business, without asking why we do them the way we do. Ask the question and you may end up doing something a better way."
• Sunday was Father's Day, and many chefs said they owe their culinary pursuits to the support their fathers gave them. "My favorite taste memory is being with my dad and going into our family garden and picking tomatoes and cucumbers," says Cleveland-based chef Jonathon Sawyer, who puts Dad's Tomato Sandwich on his menu at Greenhouse Tavern every summer in honor of his pop.
• Television has become so important in a chef's career that media training for those who hope to do a cooking demo on The Today Show or Conan is vital. "The product that you're selling on TV is not the item you're cooking; it's you," advised Boston-based chef Ming Tsai. "So smile until it hurts!"
• Middle America is not necessarily ready to embrace L.A. cool. Lee Maen, who operates more than a dozen ultra-hip restaurants in Los Angeles and elsewhere, says the concepts he creates won't necessarily translate in Kansas. "For now, we'll leave that part of the country to Darden Restaurants [parent to Olive Garden, Red Lobster and others]."
• With a growing trend to eat more healthfully, Richard Sandoval, who has 37 restaurants around the country and beyond, says he's introducing a "Latin Light" menu with items all under 500 calories. "People are more aware of what they're putting in their mouth," he said.

'You ain't gotta find Jesus, I'll leave you holy, they ain't gotta find God, I'll baptize your homies' Were these the lines???
I was listening to that Albert Einstein project from Prodigy and Al The Chemist and there is this song where P raps about shooting some cats he has beef with. When I first heard his verse I just looked at my CD player like 'Really?!?' The shit was soooooooo fucking corny. I know I've given GC some flack in the past for his distaste for straight gangsterism but I may be coming around to that viewpoint myself.
Anyway, this is a pretty interesting and inspiring story, thanks for sharing it! Congratulations on getting that job, you know you succeeded when you are doing what you love most. . Madlib influenced me a lot as well. I wonder how many people from the forums met him in person.

I used to be The Al The Chemist Hater Supreme. His work with Oh No and his past year being The Madlib of 2012/2013 had me waking up with the quickness.

Good lookin' out Kid. Believe dat.
But, yo my Jubi, ese, I do not think that it is anything complex. That beat you posted couldn't get a dollar from my ass. Maybe the one my man GC90 posted was good. But, you shake down the the dude and sniff him out--he doesn't measure up. The stuff he did with MM was ill till I dial back my way back machine to my teens and I'm like; um...maybe not so special.
I guess his mentor was one of the first whose methods I tried jacking so I get it. But, he ain't at all legit in my opinion. Just a feeling. I get them from time to time.
Posted 20 December 2013 - 12:29 PM
Maybe the one my man GC90 posted was good.
That actually wasn't an Alc beat so I guess your opinion is still consistent!
Were you not a fan of Alc's stuff with Oh No for the Gangrene records?

Dazed Digital: Do you see yourself as an archivist? The Alan Lomax of the crate digging generation?
Madlib: Kind of, yeah. I come from the same mind state. I want people to hear music that really wasn't played much, that got lost in the shuffle. There was tons of music that was greater than the hits but you don't know about it unless somebody like, like me or whoever brings it to people's attention. You know, bringing it back to the people that didn't hear it back then. I'm one of them, there's hundreds of us [Laughs]. There's a lot of young kids that I have inspired to go look for old stuff. We do it for the knowledge, for the kids. Even my kids pick up on things so I know it's working. It's not supposed to reach everybody but it's supposed to reach people who want to keep music alive

Local author tells romantic tale of unexpected love
BURKE, Va. – Author Christa Scott Reide has announced the release of her new romance novel, "The Long Ride Home."
Looking for love is natural; finding it about to give birth in the back of a cab is anything but ordinary. Seth Woods and his vocal group had just left their first televised concert when they came upon a taxi on the side of the interstate. Pulling over to assist, they discover one of their newest fans in the backseat about to give birth. Before help can arrive, Seth has to help the young woman deliver the baby and a bond is formed instantly between him and the newborn.
Now, little Marissa Wilkerson is at the center of Seth's world, but that means her mother – young, unwed, but beautifully charming – Emily Wilkerson, is too. In this heartwarming story, Seth finds himself losing all confidence in his preconceived notions about who his future family will be. Emily has made an impact on his life, but will it be enough for him to dissolve his old ways and let himself fall in love with her?

My daughter was born 4.5 wks early, 6 weeks ago. Because of a weak suck, I was given a nipple shield by the LC at the hospital.
FINALLY, late last week, my baby and I worked super hard and we are off the nipple shield! It took about 2 1/2 days, and by the weekend, she was nursing great.
But now, we have new problems. Beginning yesterday, she won't latch well (is just gettingt the tip -- OUCH), and is only eating for 5 -10 minutes. (she normally nurses for 20-30 minutes)
I kept thinking that she'll be hungry enough at the next feeding to do better, or that she'll eat again sooner, but she's still going 2 hours during the day and 4 at night.
Her diapers are still good and wet and dirty... but I'm still worried.
What could be going on?

Dow Closes at Record High
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high on Tuesday, marking a new peak in a four-year rally that began in March 2009 at the depth of the financial crisis.
An uneven economic recovery notwithstanding, stocks have climbed from the bottom fueled by an ultra-easy monetary policy that has left few viable investment options outside equities.
In 2013, the Dow has gained 9%, on the back of a turnaround in housing and continuing improvement in corporate profitability and attractive valuations.
It was a read on the U.S. services sector Tuesday, which came in better than expected, that helped the Dow eclipse its previous 2007 peak.
"We made new highs and I think the rally is going to continue," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital. "The reason for that is low interest rates, which have been powerful ingredients for the market. From a technical standpoint, the market continues to strengthen on a daily basis despite negative news. We have signs of technical strength when the market doesn't fall apart even with negative news."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 125.95 points, or 0.89%, at 14,253.77, after breaking through its all-time closing high of 14,164.53 and all-time intraday high of 14,198.10 achieved in 2007.
Breadth was overwhelmingly positive, with winners dominating losers 27 to two. Alcoa (AA) closed unchanged. Top gainers included Cisco(CSCO) , United Technologies (UTX) , Boeing(BA) and Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) .
Only Coca-Cola(KO) and Merck(MRK) shares finished in the red.
The S&P 500 finished up 14.59 points, or 0.96%, at 1,539.79. The Nasdaq was higher by 42.1 points, or 1.32%, at 3,224.13.
Every major sector in the broad market rose, led higher by technology, capital goods, conglomerates and consumer cyclicals.
Apple(AAPL) shares surged 2.7% on rumors that the company may be releasing the next version of its iPhone sooner than anticipated .
Volumes on the New York Stock Exchange totaled 3.59 billion shares, and 1.88 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers outpaced decliners by a ratio of 2.8-to-1 on the Big Board and 2.4-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
The ISM non-manufacturing index showed a rise to 56% in February from 55.2% in January, above the expected read of 55%.
The report's employment index decreased 0.3 percentage points to 57.2%, though indicated employment growth for the seventh consecutive month.
"Retail investors remained bullish in February following a seven-month trend, rotating out of higher performing stocks, choosing instead to buy stocks that have recently underperformed. " Steve Quirk, senior vice president of TD Ameritrade's Trader Group.
He added that in February retail investors were buying into stocks that were at lows, such as Apple(AAPL) , Facebook(FB) , 3D Systems (DDD) , Intel(INTC) and ConocoPhillips (COP) , and selling stocks that were at highs. Among those were Netflix(NFLX) , JPMorgan(JPM) , General Electric (GE) and Bristol-Myers(BMY) .

When people mention exotic places they would like to visit, Texas is probably not the first one that comes to mind. But to me, growing up in Rome — which seemed so ordinary — Dallas was the most exotic place I could think of.
As a teenager I fantasized about being an American girl, growing up in Texas, going to an American high school where kids had lockers — we didn't have any lockers in Italian high schools — and where there were cheerleaders and football players.
Never mind that I didn't speak English or that I hadn't the faintest idea that Dallas was a sprawling metropolis. In my mind, Dallas was the ultimate American city, full of cowboys and Southern belles.
More importantly, it was where I would learn to ride a horse — not one of those sickly looking ponies in the middle of Roman traffic, but a real American horse.
My picture of Dallas and the Texans in it epitomized what I thought meant to be a "real" American. After I moved to the United States, and eventually visited Dallas, I realized it wasn't how I imagined it. But I still believed that being a true American had to do with cowboys, country music, line dancing, big trucks, large hats and pointy boots. Those images I once saw on TV were more convincing, apparently, than reality.
I couldn't move to Texas, but I still hoped I could learn to speak with an authentic Texas accent. When I decided that was a little much, I figured I could at least get rid of my Italian one. So while living in Los Angeles I contacted a well-known voice coach and asked for a consultation.
During our visit she complimented me on my vocabulary, accent and use of the English language and added that to get rid of my intonations — the way I pronounce words and put together sentences — I would have to see her once a week, do exercises two hours a day and spend a fortune in the process. I am embarrassed to mention how much she would charge; let's just say I would have to save up.
But soon, it wasn't just the money that kept me from taking those classes.
Aside from my husband "forbidding" me to get rid of my accent — he says it's one of the things he loves most about me — over the years I have learned to accept it. I have come to understand that a true American is not just someone who lives in Texas and wears cowboy boots — though it doesn't hurt — but that a true American is also anyone who has come here to live free and try to make a new life.
Now all I have to do to complete my realization of the American Dream is get a horse, learn to ride it and yell "yee ha!" – Italian accent and all.

Citi to launch infra team in strategic overhaul
Citigroup is set to create a new infrastructure team in Europe, as the bank moves away from years of cost cutting to selectively invest in its investment banking business.
Citi recently launched a new unit to oversee European investment banking, created by Manolo Falco, head of corporate and investment banking across Europe, Middle East, and Africa.
The group is headed by Ignacio Gutiérrez-Orrantia, Citi's head of southern Europe, and Wilhelm Schulz, Citi's Emea head of M&A. Both Gutiérrez-Orrantia and Schulz will add the strategic coverage head titles to their current roles.
The new group is also set to create an infrastructure sector team. Falco said: "We have a strong infrastructure banking effort in place around the EMEA and we intend to create a more formalised investment banking sector team around these opportunities."
The US bank has decreased investment banking headcount in Europe by 25% since the peak in 2007 and shed 25% of its costs, according to Falco.
The bank currently employs around 475 investment bankers – down 25% on 2007 - and 75 to 80 managing directors.
The new strategic coverage unit's recently re-lauched the bank's real estate group that had been cut during the financial crisis. Other sector's cut at the time include technology, which is now entirely run out of the US.
Falco said Gutiérrez-Orrantia and Schulz would announce more changes in the near future.
He added: "What we tried to do with the strategic coverage group was to put two of our top bankers – one a country banker and one an M&A banker who also runs TMT – and give them a mandate to take us to the next level, while making sure we continue to be as efficient as possible between the countries and sectors."
Gutiérrez-Orrantia and Schulz are also responsible running a number of businesses at the bank, including the equity execution team and the financial strategy group.

Too much room at the Christian Inn.And who would look for a Magus hereamong this wreckage of untreasured ageand unmined memory?Herod is alive and welland killing babes for no reason at all.This is the manger of 2005and the hay is eating the oxen.
What is it in this saturated, satiatedanti-Midas age of yoursthat everything you touch,once gold, turns lead!Even the holy babe we foundis new-born, yes! again this year, but four fifths dead.
Like Christmas then on Christmas now.
Are there any more like you?
Will you take back one Christmas night,one Christmas morning, only, for your use?Will you refuse cartoonish "power" pointedsongs of praise (follow the bouncing ball)projected in what used to be a sacred space,and wait for writing by the hand on temple wallCan we agree?
Will you come with me?Though I seem to nod in this cushioned chairin the cushioned space of used-to-mean,let word go forth in Herod's time again:we are at odds with the even powersand will report to no one what we've seen.

4-21-10 PNC Park (Lightning Strikes Twice)
The day didn't start off on the right foot, as I was a few minutes late to batting practice. Fellow ballhawk Nick Pelescak already had seven balls by the time I entered the stadium. Amazing.
I had some work to do to catch up, as we began the week tied atop the standings of the Ballhawk League (BHL).
As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, Andrew McCutchen and Lastings Milledge have been hitting in the last group of Pirates. So, for the 10-15 minutes that we get to see the Pirates hit, at least there's some right handed semi-power hitters in the group.
I got ball #1 off the bat of Andrew McCutchen. It was a home run that landed in an empty section to my right that I ran over and grabbed.
Soon after, Lastings Milledge hit a ball onto the Rotunda that I ran up the ramp to snag as it slowly rolled down towards me. That would be it for the Pirates portion.
Luckily, the Brewers have been good to me lately. I changed into my Brewers gear.
And then would get started on a nice roll in an empty park.
"I'd better get my glove on," I thought. No less than seconds after I had my glove on my
hand, Duke delivered his second pitch of the game. Weeks hit a slicing fly ball foul, directly at me. I immediately stood up and went into ballhawk mode. I took several steps to my left and made the clean catch on the fly. It was my first foul ball since snagging my first last year on September 23, 2009.
Upon catching the ball I did a fist bump and a little bit of celebration, which must have caught the eye of Tim Neverett and Bob Walk, who commented on the catch. It was also enough to get FSN to cut back to me.
Here's the screen shot of me after catching the Week's foul ball:
And even better: The video
Someone in the Pirates brass must have seen the catch, because moments later I was approached by a Pirates representative with a mic in hand. He introduced himself, congrulated me on my catch, and explained that he would like to invite me to be on the PNC Park game show "Know Your Buccos," at the end of the second inning.
As instructed, I went over in the middle of the second and chatted with Joe Klimchak, who explained the game that I would be participating in. Basically, four 'fun' facts about a Pirate are presented, and the participant must eliminate the false answer.
When we went live, Joe introduced me, telling the crowd about the foul ball I had just snagged, and explained how I could win the fabulous prize (a $65 Pirates sweatshirt.)
I had to figure out which of the following facts were false regarding Ronny Cedeno:
I knew the Vizquel fact was probably true, given they are both Dominican. I also figured that Old School sounded like a type of movie that a man of Cedeno's age would enjoy. I was torn between the First Job and the name of his cat.
I thought it over and just thought, "Who would name their cat Meow?" "Come here Meow… that would just sound stupid." So I eliminated the cat named Meow.
After a few pressure filled seconds, it was revealed that Ronny does not have a cat named Meow, I had eliminated the false answer, and won the $65 jacket.
If you'd like to check out a video of my Know Your Buccos spot, you can check out the youtube link below.
I went back to my seat and watched the rest of the game, glove in hand.
Lightning wouldn't strike twice. Would it?
Well it did.
Andrew McCutchen came up to bat in the fifth inning.
He fouled off a pitch in the same spot as the Week's foul ball. I shot up out of my chair immediately when I saw the angle the ball took off the bat. This time, the ball was dying on me. It didn't quite reach me, as it was about a row and a half ahead of me. I reached down and got it to hit my glove and knocked it into the row directly below me. I would liken the play to a catcher smothering a ball in the dirt. The ball came to a dead stop and I picked up my second foul ball of the day. Amazing.
That's TWO foul balls in one game.
More FSN face time.
Here's some more video proof for you:
Would I go on to catch my thirteenth ball of the night? A third foul ball in the game?
It was certainly empty enough for it to happen, as the Pirates were getting blown out, and the weather had turned cold.
There's probably more fans at high school baseball games, but that's Pittsburgh on week nights for you. Low, low attendance, especially after 10PM, like it was in the picture above.
I would end the night with those two foul balls, a sweatshirt, twelve total balls snagged, and probably the best ballhawking performance of my career.
Here's today's baseballs:
Foul balls are in the lower right corner.
And the sweet spots:
And that sweat shirt:
What a night. What a two game stretch.
Game: 12 balls (10 hit, 1 thrown, 1 device)
Season: 51 balls (34 hit, 7 thrown, 6 device, 4 found)
Games: 8 games
Average: 6.38 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 2
Career: 629 balls
Streak: 104 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 12,192
2009 through 8 games: 31 (Currently I am 20 balls ahead of last year's career high season pace)

Freaking sweet Erik. Nice job.
Congrats…what an awesome day. Hopefully those YouTube clips won't get taken down by the over-protective copyright czars at MLB. Make sure you have them saved somewhere else.
(Meanwhile, I've only made it to two games this season. Ugh.)
swing!! looks like you had a good game!
Nice job Erik!!! That is pretty darn impressive!!! Keep up the good work!
Erik – Congratulations on having a monster night – aren't you happy you stayed for the whole game considering what a bad series the Pirates had – Keep up the good work – Aloha Todd
Very nicely done.
Now, imagine how many game home run baseballs you could snag in those empty bleachers at PNC.
Consider tickets there for next year!!
Congrats on the big night. Where do you go from here? Im def seeing you hitting the 500 mark this year if you keep up at this pace.
Dude that is insane! 2 foul balls in 1 game, awesome. I think it's even cooler that you got some serious tv time especially after the 2nd one! Great job
Nice job, man. I envy you, and the empty stadium. On a week night I have to fight AT LEAST 39,000 fans at Busch. On the weekends its nearly sold out. Enjoy your empty stadium while you have it.🙂
Nice weather was that day! good pictures! a remember this game – we were discussing it at a Shoutbox of a sports forum.
we appreciate you taking the time that will put this information together. Keep up the good work. online users counter
I advice you to organize all your photos into Flash photo gallery instead of placing them in this way. It would look much more attractive and the users will not have to scroll down to see all your images.
Erik, I am a personal friend of Joe Crawford's and was definitely laughing when I read your blog. You could make a lot of little kids light up if you started some type of program to have the balls signed and distributed to kids. I am not sure, maybe you are already giving them away?

It's pretty easy to listen to the news broadcasts these days and become depressed.
In fact, it doesn't make much difference what your personal opinion is on any of the major controversies facing us; the appropriate response is depression.
Which means it is a good time to stop reading the newspapers and start reading the Bible, particularly the book of Ecclesiastes.
And if you were to sum up the message of Ecclesiastes, it is that if we look at the world seriously we will be depressed, but not downhearted.
For example, this week I've been looking at Ecclesiastes, Chapter 5:
Those who love money will never have enough. How absurd to believe that wealth brings true happiness! The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it. So what is the advantage of wealth – except perhaps to watch it run through your fingers.
The writer is talking about money, but you can substitute any other value and the passage will read about the same.
The ferocious national debate about guns has detracted attention from the fact that gun sales in this country have gone through the roof since the Connecticut school massacre – and sales of the semi-automatic assault rifle used in so many killings are particularly robust, as are sales of ammunition. One fellow just ordered 32,000 rounds of ammunition from a web site and had them shipped to Kentucky, according to Yahoo News.
Those who love guns will never have enough, Ecclesiastes might say. How absurd to think that all ammunition will bring true safety.
Now, there's a market for bullet-proof back packs for our kids and prognosticators are predicting that we will soon see armored baby carriages.
It goes beyond money and guns. Republicans have never seen a tax they want to increase; Democrats have never seen an entitlement they want to cut, though, to be honest, I don't see the moral equivalency between protecting tax breaks for billionaires and protecting school lunches for poor kids.
It can all be pretty depressing. But, since it is a new year, we might also consider another passage from Ecclesiastes 5:
Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat well, drink a good glass of wine and enjoy their work – whatever they do under the sun – for however long God lets them live. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life – that is indeed a gift from God. People who do this rarely look with sorrow on the past, for God has given them reasons for joy.
Hardly a clarion call for social change, but a good alternative to the racing around in circles we mostly seem to be doing these days.

After Its Miss, EMC's Still a Hit
For the period ending in September, EMC reported net income of $626.3 million, or 28 cents per share, on revenues of $5.28 billion. Both EPS and revenue climbed 3% and 6% year over year, respectively. However, both missed analysts' estimates of 42 cents per share on revenue of $5.46 billion, according to FactSet.
Even though this is not a company that misses very often, this quarter's miss was not a surprise. Clearly, it is not immune to the same struggles of weak spending that have affected other tech titans including IBM (IBM) , Microsoft (MSFT) and Cisco (CSCO) . Nonetheless, the company seems to doing pretty well in its core operations as evident by the growth of 3% and 2% in its storage and network storage segments.
Even more impressive was the 5% growth that EMC's high-end storage business produced. But as tends to be the case during tough competitive environments, EMC missed estimates on gross margins as a result of its somewhat lethargic pace in revenue.
If there was one bright side during the quarter, it was with virtualization giant VMware (VMW) , which is majority-owned by EMC. VMware reported numbers that topped analysts' estimates as the company continues to grow despite and acquire business despite the economic slowdown. VMware saw 20% revenue growth as sales reached $1.13 billion and reported net income of 70 cents per share, topping estimates of 63 cents.
Moving Forward
EMC benefited greatly from the VMware's performance as the latter makes up 20% of the former's reported revenue. But will this trend continue and will VMware have to continue to exceed expectations to carry EMC?David Goulden, president and COO said:
"For the third quarter, EMC's business continued to grow faster than overall (technology) spending growth and we gained market share in what turned out to be a more cautionary environment than we expected heading into the quarter"
This statement seems to support the company's weaker-than-expected guidance. EMC says it expects full-year earnings of $1.24 to $1.26 per share with adjusted earnings coming in the range of $1.68 to $1.70 per share, slightly below estimates of $1.72. Likewise, the company anticipates revenue of $21.60 billion to $21.75 billion, below analyst' estimates of $22.03 billion.
There are a couple of ways to look at this report. The first and obvious way is that it could have been much worst. Even though the company missed estimates, the fact that it continues to grow sales (albeit slower than usual) is a good sign. This also indicates the company remains a dominant power within the sector and is gaining market share on rivals such as NetApp (NTAP) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) .


text: Ya know, I never read anything yet about grieving when the baby weans. I grieved as if they moved out and went to college when my kids weaned. Not like crying constantly, but like, "my baby doesn't need me anymore". I didn't try to make them continue to nurse or anything, I let it go, but there was a slight emotional sting to it. I haven't read anything about it and just thought I'd voice my feellings. Maybe most mom's don't feel that????? So, while I look forward to weaning my 2 yr old, there is a sweet sorrow about it somehow. Take care..... Gen

Our path aheadOctober 10,2013
Our path ahead
I have read the articles in regard to being of a different race and living here in Vermont. Well, I am very well mixed breed, born and raised in Barre. If one were to divide a black person and white person and put them into one person that is what I am. To some I represent a pollution of Vermonts heritage.
Surely I am probably Vermonts most acquitted resident. Does race play a factor in the many times in my life that I have been overcharged in the court? I dont really know. However, I dont have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I have had charges thrown out of court because the state did not have a case. Am I really that smart about law? Probably not. Racial profiling is not a joke in this state, and if you are of color you will be getting profiled no doubt. How many lawyers can stand there and pretend like they dont know what is going on?
Nobody wants their Irish or French heritage associated to slavery. However, its kind of late for that. I am pretty sure that we have already created a breed that mixes the 12 tribes of Israel. Therefore, in the future everyone will be of the same racial makeup and we will live in a world without prejudice. If you mix white paint and black paint, you cannot add enough white paint to make that mixture white again. Black is a dominating color. The joke is on them because before Europeans enslaved blacks, they enslaved themselves. Blacks were bigger, stronger and better workers that is why they enslaved blacks, no other reason. Though everyone comes from slavery. They know who we are and where we came from, the best way to get back at them is to breed with them. A child will end a familys racism in a quit hurry. I know all about it, I have lived it. All of the advancements in building, science and technology would not exist if it was not for the architectural genius of the black race.
However, there is a route to a world without prejudice. We can send a rocket to Mars, but we cannot create a community without prejudice. That is kind of sad. Here that path at least for our children. The more we interracially date and have children the faster the world will become the same race. Science shows that in another 100 or so years everyone on Earth will be of the same race. We have already set that into motion. Though I would recommend that all blacks stay in Vermont to some they might think you are an invasive species. To me you are gifts from God. Keep it public; dont let anything go into the shadows. The only reason the welcome wagon is running you over, is because they are jealous.

Playing in Puddles
Everyone was really excited for Game 5; Cole Hamels, and Scott Kazmir were pitching, and it was a potential clinching game (in Philadelphia nonetheless). Kazmir got racked in the first inning, pegging Chase Utley in the ribs. Has anyone noticed how close he stands to the box, and how he actually steps into the box? No wonder he's the single batter who has gotten hit by pitches the most. KInd of like how Jason Bartlett totally leaned into a pitch in Game 7 of the ALCS. Then, Shane Victorino comes up and hits a two run single. Cole Hamels is pitching well, until the Rays start stringing some runs together, and finally one came off of a hit by Evan Longoria. It took long enough.

Rove McManus wishes Bert Newton all the best after heart surgery
- From: Herald Sun
- November 25, 2012
- Gallery: Bert, a TV legend
- Scroll below to leave your message of support for Bert
UPDATE: TV HOST Rove McManus has sent his best wishes to friend Bert Newton who is recovering in intensive care following quadruple bypass heart surgery in Melbourne.
Newton, 74, went under the knife for quadruple bypass surgery at Epworth Hospital on Saturday morning and is now recovering in ICU following the five-and-a-half hour procedure.
Doctors say the surgery was a success and will continue to keep a close eye on the television and stage veteran.
McManus, who is currently based in the US for his talk show Rove LA, has used Twitter to wish Newton well.
"Sending out nothing but the most positive thoughts to tv legend Bert Newton for a safe and speedy recovery," McManus tweeted.
In 2005 McManus famously shared a lengthy kiss with Newton during the Australia Unites telethon to raise money for the World Vision Tsunami appeal.
A caller had pledged to donate $10,000 if the pair kissed on air, which they did, to the amusement of the celebrities in attendance at Melbourne's Telstra Dome, and the millions watching on live television.
Yesterday Patti Newton spoke to waiting media about her relief once the operation was over.
"I just went and saw him for a second and he is not a pretty sight at the moment, but hopefully that will get better,'' she said.
"But it's early days yet.
"At least he got through the operation and that's the main thing.''
Newton told the Herald Sun from his hospital bed that he was looking forward to a full recovery after weeks if not months of rehab.
"Getting back to normal is quite a long journey,'' he said.
"I'll be in rehab, and probably wont be precisely 100 per cent for about two or three months, but I accept that.
"Because the good news is that there is every chance I will be back to normal.''
