Back to New York…
Unfortunately, the ALCS is far from over…
If I learned anything in 2004, it is to never take anything for granted. At the moment, the Yankees lead the Los Angeles Angels 3 games to 1 in the 2009 American League Championship Series. However, they are losing tonight, so far, as they've been dominated by Angels starter John Lackey.
The Angels started the game very abruptly by scoring 4 runs with no outs in the bottom of the first inning. A.J. Burnett was able to keep his pitches down, but they were too far over the plate and the Angel hitters were teeing off him. After the 4 runs were scored, Burnett settled down and has not allowed any runs through six innings.
At the present time, the Angels still lead 4-0 in the top of the 7th inning. However, the Yankees have loaded the bases, and the tying run is at home plate for the first time in the game.
The Yankees have had their opportunities to chip away at the Angels' lead, however, Lackey has successfully managed to avoid any damage. The 7th is looking like more of the same as Johnny Damon just flied out so there are two outs with the bases still loaded. John Lackey just exited the game so perhaps the Yankees can get a rally going against the Angels bullpen.
For the record, Robinson Cano has looked dreadful at the plate tonight…
If the Angels hang on for the win, the Yankees will head to New York with a 3-2 series advantage. They play Game 6 on Saturday night in the Bronx (Joe Saunders versus Andy Pettitte).
If there is a positive to a potential Yankees loss tonight, it's that they'll have the chance to close it out at Yankee Stadium.
Nevertheless, Mark Teixeira just came through with a huge double to bring the Yankees within one run, 4-3. So, perhaps a little champagne spilled on Angel Stadium turf is not out of the question.
The downside to an Angels win in Games 5 and 6 is that Game 7 is 'winner take all'. In that situation, of course, anything can happen…and it often does! I am hopeful that the series will be decided before then, but it is up to hitters like Cano to come through.
Hideki Matsui just tied the game with a single to score Mark Teixeira from second.
Speaking of Matsui, it is going to be hard to see him leave after the season. Time and again, he has delivered the clutch hit for the Yanks. His numbers aren't flashy, but he quietly delivers, day in and day out. If he does leave the Yankees, I'd like to see him come to San Francisco but that would really depend upon the health of his knees.
Redemption for Cano. He just delivered a triple to score two runs to give the Yanks a 6-4 lead. Swisher just flied out to end the inning but it was a hugely successful one for the Yanks as they scored 6 runs with 2 outs. A tremendous performance by John Lackey…wasted…and I am okay with that! J
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies sit back and wait. Will they hop on the New Jersey Turnpike for the drive to New York or will they head to Philly International for the cross-country trip to continue their terrorism of the Los Angeles/Orange County Area? Time will tell, but I like the Yanks' chances…at the moment. Phillies-Angels is simply too much red! We need a nice mixture of red, white, and blue! Yeah, blue baby!
Damaso Marte? Seriously? The Yanks lead is down to one, 6-5.
Phil Hughes is on now, but he just walked a batter so there are runners at the corner.
Ugh! The Angels just tied the game on a hit by Vladimir Guerrero. Joe Girardi's decision to go with Damaso Marte to relieve A.J. Burnett was a huge mistake.
Kendry Morales singled to score Vlad the Great…bummer…the Angels have a 7-6 lead.
Jered Weaver, who started the inning, just struck out Derek Jeter to end the top of the 8th. The Yanks have three outs left. The game will be in the hands of Alex Rodriguez, assuming that the bullpen holds the Angels in the 8th.
Here we are in the 9th inning. Bases loaded but two outs. The ice cold Nick Swisher at the plate. 7-6 Angels. This is Nick's defining moment. Two fouls, two strikes. Personality or not, this is the moment that he can prove he is a Yankee. This is definitely a tense moment. Is the game over or does it go to the Bronx for Game 6? The count is full at 3-2. Ugh! The suspense! So much for that, a popout ends it. Off to New York we go. Note to Cashman, look for a new right fielder…

What? I enjoyed the end of the game! lol! It ain't over just yet my friend!😉
I love reading your blog Scott. And I also enjoy reading comments from Julia who worries as much about her Red Sox winning as she does about our Yankees losing (which they rarely do).
Both teams are important to each other's history and legacy. I can understand the rivalry when both teams are in the competition. But when one team is out, why hate on the other team? I liked it when you said you would root for the Red Sox if they advanced and the Yankees couldn't, simply because they're from our division. That's the spirit, Scott🙂
Kamranzahid – I know my friend Scott won't mind me commenting or "replying" if you will. "Hate on the other team" hmm…perhaps you have not followed Scott's or my blog throughout the season, but we do have a friendly rivalry going on and the emphasis is on "friendly". Scott would not expect anything less from me then the comment I made above. If you find "hate" in that, then I am sorry for you. Am I a Red Sox fan – yes – and have been for longer then my friend Scott has been a Yankee fan. Do I hate the Yankees? No. Do I want to see them win? No. No more so then I want to see the NY Jets, Montreal Canadians or the LA Lakers win. I am a Boston Sports fan through and through. But before all, I am a fan of the Game. Something that Scott and I both are. We love the game of baseball first and foremost. And fans of the game recognize that people are allowed to be fans of other teams – Scott can love his Yankees and I can love my Red Sox. He can give me grief when my guys lose and I give him grief when his guys lose. And neither of us hate each other or each others team. Oh and about that "winning thing" – yeah the Yankees might have won more games this year – but when you look at recent history – my guys have won more. Doesn't make me a hater, just a person who enjoys the facts.
Thanks Scott! And I hope you're out of the doghouse!😉
I didn't intend to make Scott's blog a place where I'd go back and forth with someone else, Julia. But I have to respond to your comment. I don't have anything against you. Being someone who reads and writes a lot, you should know that the word "hate" in baseball isn't always used literally. It usually means that one "hates to see [team name] win." And in your case it is the Yankees, as you have admitted yourself (Do I want to see them win? No.) So you misunderstood a common term there.
And I certainly have been following your blog because Scott is nice enough to include a link to your blog on almost every one of his blog entries. Not to mention he has a link to your blog at the top of his Recommended Sites. So I'm well aware that you two have a friendly rivalry. But I can form an opinion based on what I read (and I have been reading both of you for quite some time). Let me tell you what I believe: Anyone who claims to be a fan of the game, shouldn't be saying I don't want this team to win or I want that team to lose. A true fan of baseball would only want to see a good ballgame and hope for the better team to win.
My comment above was intended for Scott and I only wanted him to know I feel he shows more sportsmanship. Yes you both rub salt into each other's wounds and it's fine, but I can form an opinion based on what you both write and the way you write it. I didn't intend to hurt Julia or any Red Sox fans out there, I was just expressing a personal opinion. You don't have to agree with it, but you shouldn't be mad about it either.

The first thing you need to know is that those are not my feet. I have big bony, country girl feet that are not suitable for a blog header. So I bought some cute feet and am much happier for doing so.
The second thing you need to know is that most–okay, ALL–of my medical knowledge comes from Reader's Digest so you might want to check in with your doctor before you try anything you read here. Rest assured, though, that all of my knowledge about obesity and slothfulness comes from personal experience.
Okay, with that out of the way, let's talk about me some more. As my side bar indicates, I was on the diet cycle for many, many, many years. I think I tried every diet plan and quick fix out there and just wasn't able to find anything I could do in any lasting way.
So after years of trying, failing, trying, failing, trying failing, I finally discovered a successful path to losing 100 pounds, a path that required slow, gradual changes. On The Tippy Toe Diet I share my triumphs and trials, joys and, well, it's mostly joys. I haven't really had many non-joys.

Big Five
City releases names of possible temporary replacements for Holden
By André Coleman 01/10/2013
Five people are vying for the Pasadena City Council seat left vacant after former Councilman Chris Holden's election to the state Assembly.
According to City Clerk Mark Jomsky, the candidates are: real estate developer Joel Bryant; real estate agent Craig Washington, father of 2012 Rose Queen Drew Washington; screenwriter Brian Carmody; attorney Tarek Shawky; and former public school teacher Sharon Graham Higuera. All five have qualified for an interview with the Pasadena City Council later this month.
At that meeting, each candidate will make a presentation to the council and then respond to questions. Based on the presentation and the interview, candidates will be rated by council members on a scale of 1 to 3. In case of a tie, council members will vote separately on the tied applicants.
The winner will sit on the council until May 7, when the winner of the March 5 election, in which John J. Kennedy, Ishmael Trone and the Rev. Nicholas Benson are running to complete the remaining two years in Holden's council term, is sworn in.
Until then, whoever is appointed by the council could be part of making some important decisions. Among them could be the possible resolution of federal lawsuits filed against the city, its police chief and two officers who shot and killed unarmed 19-year-old Kendrec McDade last March. Another could be deliberations with the NFL to allow a pro team to play in the Rose Bowl.
"It's hard to say what may or may not come up," said Carmody. "I think it's a good opportunity to be involved in the community."
The District 3 seat has been vacant since Holden was sworn into the Assembly last month after defeating Republican Donna Lowe for the 41st Assembly District seat in the November election.
"I have always been told that leadership is about serving the district," said Bryant, owner of Landmark Construction. "It's only for a few months, and we definitely have some big issues coming up in the city and we need good representation."
Bryant — who has built affordable housing projects on Allen Avenue, Washington Boulevard and Lincoln Avenue — has served on the Rose Bowl Operating Co. Board of Directors and as a board member with Community Development Committee and Neighborhood Housing Services.
"It's a good opportunity to be involved, and we need more folks in city politics," said Shawky, who formerly served on the city's Northwest Commission.
"I taught school at Madison [Elementary School], which is right in the middle of the district, for 24 years," said Higuera. "I feel like I owe it to the families that I have taught. It's a diverse district. I think the big issues are personal safety and education, which is key to keeping kids off the streets."
Washington, a real estate agent who owns Craig Washington and Associates, said he grew up in Pasadena at a time "when Old Pasadena was a haven for the homeless and prostitutes.
"Look at it now," he said. "The community is now multicultural and vibrant. I have been a 13-year member of the Tournament of Roses, and I have been on their executive committee. I thought this was the time and opportunity to bring my background to the council. I believe we can lower the unemployment rate through job training, I want to advocate for the city to use our assets better for the entire community, and encourage science and technology institutions to get involved. We should leverage that knowledge to our youth."

The Office of Civil Rights in the Dept of Health and Human Services (OCR) slapped the wrist of BCBS of Tennessee.
One million people's protected health information was breached because Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Tennessee violated data security laws. The settlement cost BCBS a little more than $1.00 per person—hardly a deterrent to other corporations or adequate punishment. However, that amount happens to be the same as the highest possible fine permitted by law (HITECH).
Still it appears that criminal charges could have been filed for "willful disregard" rather than OCR accepting a settlement. OCR's finding that legally-required "adequate administrative and physical safeguards" were lacking is evidence of "willful neglect".
Worst of all, the one million victims received NO protection against future ID theft or medical ID theft. OCR could have also required BCBS to mitigate future patient harms, but didn't. New technologies can protect against medical ID theft by enabling patients to review all new claims, so they can detect and prevent fraudulent claims and erroneous data from being entered into their records.
Why didn't OCR propose that BCBS adopt remedies to protect the patients whose records were breached from further misuse and theft? Shouldn't OCR help protect victims?

And I know that sometimes it can be tinted blue...I was just wondering if it's ok that it's this color more frequently. It almost seems more watery too.
Any thoughts?

As the Major League Baseball season opens, another interest is in the offing. That is because for decades, Wrigley Field has been characterized as a "Baseball Cathedral." The Ricketts family wants to make huge improvements. Changes are evident with the ballpark wishing to revitalize the diamond for more revenue.
No, this is not expectations of being in the race for the National League pennant, but I do hope the team is improving. It was 1933 when I first heard about Major League Baseball. In the spring of 1934, I was intrigued because of the rambunctious St. Louis Cardinals with Dizzy Dean, Joe Medwick and Leo Durocher.

Brent A. Rudolph is the Deer and Elk Program Leader for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and he took some time to answer some of our questions about hunting in Michigan.
When is the busiest season for hunting in Michigan? Why?
Fall is by far the busiest season for hunting, for several reasons. When hunting seasons were established many years ago, the intent was to set conditions that allowed for the maximum benefit from the minimum impact on wildlife. Fall is the best time of year to meet this objective, because most young animals are born in the spring and summer, and natural deaths most commonly occur among many wildlife populations in our region during the winter.
Fall is also generally the time that wild animals are in their best physical condition, and therefore provide the maximum protein and nutrition. Animals have had the spring and summer growing season to feed on the most nutritious forage available, and many are in the best shape of the year before heading into the lean winter months.
Finally, for a variety of reasons fall is the time that many animals are most available. Wildlife in the woods are more readily found when leaves have come off of trees and the thick understory ferns are browning up and packing down. Bear hunting in our north country must occur in early fall, for bears will be in a den by late fall to early winter. And for many game birds, such ducks, geese, or woodcock, migration comes in the fall, so a surge in abundance occurs as wildlife once widely distributed pass state-by-state through the region on the move to wintering grounds.
How does hunting vary throughout the state?
One main variation is that we establish different regulations for antlered deer and antlerless deer. Antlered deer are defined as a deer with at least one antler that is 3 or more inches in length, which is what's looked at to identify a male deer in the field. The annual take of these male deer has much less impact on the population than the harvest of does. As a consequence, many of our deer hunting licenses entitle hunters to take a buck from anywhere in the state, and we do not have an overall limit to the number of individuals that may buy one of these licenses.
By contrast, an antlerless license may only be used in a specifically designated Deer Management Unit, which in many cases is a single county, and a quota is established that limits the number of antlerless licenses available in each Deer Management Unit. In southern Michigan there are more antlerless licenses are available each year because the winter snow and cold is much less of an impact on deer, and a more productive climate and soils produces more nutritious forage and agricultural crops. In this area, there are even seasons before and after the more traditional deer hunting seasons that are open only for hunting antlerless deer.
Why is hunting important to Michigan's economy?
Our state ranks 3rd in the nation in the number of licensed hunters, with around 750,000 individuals buying a license to hunt inMichiganin any given year. About 90 percent of all hunters in Michigan pursue deer. In 2010, that amounted to 656,500 hunters spending 9.6 million days in the field hunting deer. Studies have estimated deer hunting in Michigan has a more than $500 million annual economic impact on our state, and directly supports more than 5,300 jobs.
What's the public benefit of hunting?
In addition to the overall economic benefits hunting activities provide to all Michigan citizens, hunters essentially foot the bill for nearly all wildlife conservation and management that is carried out in the state. Money from the purchase of licenses is not only directly invested in managing wildlife populations and habitat, but every license dollar is matched with 3 dollars generated through federal excise taxes on hunting equipment.
Hunting also serves as a tool to manage wildlife populations in public areas. Deer can be the source of some negative impacts such as damage to crops and forest products, deer-vehicle collisions, and helping to sustain diseases such as bovine tuberculosis. The preference deer have for eating some plant species over others can even lead abundant deer to influence how our forests look and function as habitat for other wildlife. The only feasible means of addressing these potential negative impacts at a substantial geographic scale is through setting hunting regulations to reduce or maintain deer populations at a certain level.
Finally, there are a variety of social and cultural values associated with hunting deer and other wildlife. Public awareness has grown about the impacts of the choices we make about what to eat and how that food gets to our tables, and many hunters take pride in providing their families a healthy, sustainable, local source of nourishment. And whether or not hunters are successful in harvesting game, a day outside and time spent with friends and family are always key benefits of hunting. In fact, surveys of hunters consistently show that these benefits of the overall hunting experience are the leading reasons driving hunting participation.
Where are some popular hunting locations in Michigan and/or in the Upper Peninsula?
Michigan is blessed with an abundance of public land. About 40% of the Upper Peninsula and 30% of the Northern Lower Peninsula is in public ownership. In the Southern Lower Peninsula, 3% of the land is publicly owned, but there are some locations with sizeable State Game Areas or Recreation Areas that provide abundant hunting opportunities. Compared to many other states in the region and around the country, nearly all Michigan residents are reasonably close to land that is open to public hunting.
Do people travel to Michigan just for hunting? Beyond deer hunting, what are some other popular animals to hunt in Michigan?
About 20,000 out-of-state hunters pursue deer in Michigan each year, not including college students that are entitled to purchase resident licenses and Military Licenses that are also available to non-residents serving in the armed forces. Michigan is home to the largest dedicated state forest system in the nation, as well as several significant national forests, and a large network of private land open to public access. This draws out-of-state residents to Michigan to hunt forest wildlife such as bears, grouse, woodcock, and snowshoe hare. Squirrels, rabbits, and pheasants are more abundant in southern Michigan, and while there are good hunting opportunities for these animals on public land areas in the region, it is also often easier to get permission to hunt these small game on the predominantly private land in this region than it is to compete for access to hunt white-tailed deer, the state's most popular species. Turkey hunting has grown in popularity in Michigan as well as many other areas of the country, and there are opportunities to hunt turkeys in every part of the state.
Are there any hunting traditions in Michigan (or in general)?
Many early deer hunting traditions that still persist to this day developed around the need for "going north to deer camp." In decades past, there were very few deer in southern Michigan, and so the only place deer could be hunted in the state was in the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Peninsula. Many Michigan citizens already live "up north," but even in those regions, many families or groups of friends pitched in together to purchase land specifically for hunting and build a cabin to use as a "deer camp." Many others loaded up camping gear or trailers and made annual pilgrimages to public land to literally camp while pursuing deer.
Many hunters still observe these traditions, but over the last few decades, deer numbers in southern Michigan have grown to provide ample hunting opportunity in that region of the state as well.

Investing Basics FAQs
The world of investing and personal finance can occasionally be perplexing. Often when a specific investment question comes to mind, no obvious source for an answer is apparent.
Here is a list of practical answers to frequently asked investing and personal finance questions. This quick reference guide is designed to be a "go to source" for answers to your investing needs.

Investing Basics: Start-Up Tips
How do I get started in investing?
A detailed discussion of the process is presented in the Investor Classroom area of our Web site in the section called Investing Basics. However, here are some successful investing tips to use when first building a portfolio.
- Successful Investing Tip #1: First build up and maintain a cash reserve to meet short-term emergencies and other liquidity needs.
- Successful Investing Tip #2: Try to develop an overall investment strategy that you are aiming for, even if you can't implement the strategy immediately.
- Successful Investing Tip #3: Select mutual funds that meet your investment strategy first; use the minimum initial investment as a secondary consideration.
- Successful Investing Tip #4: Select a balanced fund (for less aggressive investors) or a broad-based index fund (for more aggressive investors) for your initial investment, and build from there.
- Successful Investing Tip #5: The minimum initial investment of the funds that you have selected will set the investment savings goal that you are trying to achieve.
- Successful Investing Tip #6: The percentage commitment to each stock market segment will determine when you should start adding funds to your initial investments.
- Successful Investing Tip #7: Don't agonize over small deviations from your overall allocation plan. For instance, if a minimum investment in a small stock fund results in a 12% or 13% commitment to small stocks, rather than your target 10%, go ahead and make the commitment. Your overall allocation goal is only a rough guide.
For further guidance, AAII also offers an on-line booklet, Lifetime Investment Strategy, that can help you get started.
Investing Basics: Researching Investments
Where's the best place to find information on-line on stocks and mutual funds?
From stock market information to financial and retirement planning calculators, from charting services to on-line portfolio tracking—there is probably something helpful to you somewhere on the Web.
Finding it, though, is another matter. While many sites provide in-depth financial statistics, research, and other information, other sites are purely promotional, with little or no useful information; or even worse, pure junk. In addition, some sites have free access to useful information, while other sites charge a fee. Sorting through various sites to weed out the junk and to determine their value can result in an enormous investment of your time.
AAII publishes an annual Guide to the Top Investment Web Sites, which presents sites that provide investment information or service that, in our view, is both useful and substantial to individual investors and available either for free or for a reasonable price. Sites are grouped by subject to help focus your search. For each major subject area, we list the top sites, give a summary description, and list the price range, if any. But the real meat of the lists is in the assessment we include: why we like each site and what about each site we don't like. This will enable you to pinpoint the sites you need based on specific factors you are looking for.
Keep in mind that the Web is constantly evolving. Sites, even the "big" ones, can change drastically in a short period of time. Be sure to verify the source of information or provider of a service when using Web sites. And read the fine print on pricing before agreeing to pay for any data or investment service.
Investing Basics: Dealing With a Broker
How do I find a discount broker?
See AAII's Discount Broker Guide, updated annually.
Where can I get a list of on-line brokers?
AAII's annual Discount Broker Guide identifies on-line discount brokers. Along with allowing you to place trades on-line, an additional feature of brokers with a presence on the Internet is the availability of research reports on companies. The range of information offered is wide—from current quotes and news headlines to in-depth financial statistics. Some Web sites charge for this information, and others provide it free to customers. Most on-line brokers offer an electronic option of receiving information and placing trades through the customer's telephone as a backup to placing trades on-line. Some also maintain a staff of "live" brokers to take trade orders; however, commission fees may be higher for broker-assisted trades.
How do I check out a broker?
The National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) regulates brokerage firms and their employees. NASD BrokerCheck provides information on NASD-registered firms and their brokers that is required to be reported on the approved industry registration and licensing forms. It also includes disciplinary and disclosure information reported by regulators. Information that has not been reported, or that is not required to be reported or is no longer reportable on regulatory forms is not disclosed. Background checks on individual brokers or brokerage firms should be made by using both the FINRA BrokerCheck and by requesting information from your state securities regulator.
Your state securities regulator can tell you if the broker is properly licensed within your state, can access the central brokerage registration database, and may be able to supply you with additional regulatory action taken under state securities laws. The North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) is an organization of 50 state securities agencies responsible for investor protection. Click on the Contact Your Regulator Link on the home page to obtain the address, telephone and Web site of your state regulator.
Where do I file a complaint against a broker?
Investors who wish to file a complaint against a broker should first turn to the brokerage's in-house compliance department or legal counsel.
When further action is warranted, the next place to turn is the exchange involved. Investors should also file their complaint with their state securities regulator. This department licenses brokerage firms and investigates charges against brokers.
Whenever contemplating filing charges against a broker, be prepared to detail the specifics, including dates and times of securities transactions. Some offices require you to explain the complaint in detail in a letter, others provide forms to fill out and notarize.
To contact the resources mentioned above, see AAII's Guide to Investment Information.
Investing Basics: Buying Stocks
Can I bypass my broker to buy stock?
A number of companies will sell initial shares directly to investors, so no purchases need to be made through a broker. See our annual Guide to Direct Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plans for a list of companies that will sell initial shares directly to investors.
How do I place a stock purchase order?
The two common types of orders used when trading stocks are market orders and limit orders. A market order can be used to buy or sell stock at the best price that the brokerage firm can find at that moment, no matter how high or low that price is. A limit order tells the brokerage firm to purchase (or sell) the shares at a price not to exceed (or not less than) a certain amount, known as the limit price.
One advantage of placing a market order is that the trade will be executed very quickly. Often a broker can confirm that a market order has been executed within just a few seconds of placing an order.
The price at which a market buy order is executed will usually be the current ask price, which is sometimes called the offer price, and the price at which a market sell would occur is called the current bid price.
These stock market quotes can be obtained from your broker before you place an order, so that you will have a fairly good, but not necessarily exact, idea of the price at which your trade will be filled. During times of heavy trading activity, though, the market may change between the time you hear the quotes and the time your order reaches the exchange.
There is a cost for the speedy execution of a market order, and that is that you may be paying a higher price to buy a stock than you might otherwise pay.
Most brokerage firms charge the same commission for limit orders as they do for market orders, but a few charge more for limit orders since they represent more work. Since a limit order often does not execute immediately, it means that the firm may have to call you back later to report that the order was executed. Furthermore, since the order may remain open a long time, the firm has to keep track of the open limit orders. Some firms allow a good-till-canceled limit order to remain active for up to 60 days.
To figure out whether you should place a limit order or a market order, you need to think about three things:
- The price at which your order will be filled if you place a market order,
- The chances that a limit order at a specified limit price will be filled, and
- What will happen to the price of the stock if your limit order does not get filled.
The first of these is pretty easy to estimate from the current quote. As long as your order size is smaller than the amount of shares quoted, then you are fairly assured of getting the quote or better.
Calculating the probability that a limit order will be filled is much more difficult. Here are some general guidelines for deciding whether to use a limit or market order when buying and selling stocks:
First, ask yourself how anxious you are to make this particular trade. In general, if you think that the stock is about to make a major move, then you are better off getting the immediate execution of a market order rather than running the risk that your order may not be filled and the stock may run away from you. If you can be patient, then your patience may allow you to get a better price for your trade through placing a limit order.
Second, find out what the bid and offer quotes are when you are about to place a stock order. Also, look at the recent trading volume to get a sense of how active the stock is. A limit order is more likely to be filled if the stock is actively traded.
If the spread between the bid and the offer is more than one tick, consider placing a limit order with a limit price between the bid and the ask prices. Sometimes it is worthwhile to place a limit buy order at the bid price, but only if there are not many shares quoted at the bid.
If you really want to buy the stock, do not place a limit order with a limit price below the current bid price, since the probability that the order will be filled is so low that it is rarely worthwhile. Limit orders are best viewed as a way to bypass the market makers and save on transaction costs, not as a way to buy stock at windfall prices.
What are stop-loss orders?
The "stop-loss" order is a market order that is triggered when a stock trades at or below a pre-specified price known as the stop price.
The stop price is very different from the limit price of a limit order. With a stop-loss order, the fall of the stock price to the stop price triggers the order. However, stock prices do not always move continuously, so that the stock price may have fallen below the stop price before your order is filled.
You can also place a stop-limit order; such an order is triggered by the stock reaching the stop price, but will not be executed unless a price better than the limit price can be obtained.
Investing Basics: Dividend Reinvestment Plans
What are dividend reinvestment plans?
Dividend reinvestment plans are custom-made for long-term buy-and-hold investors. Instead of sending participating investors cash dividends, the company applies those dividends to the purchase of additional company shares.
There are several advantages to stock market investors who participate: Dividend payments are put to work, transaction costs are eliminated or held to a minimum, and the additional shares are purchased gradually over time—an easy-to-implement form of dollar cost averaging.
For more information see AAII's annual Guide to Direct Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plans.
Measuring the Risk of Mutual Funds
What does a fund's beta coefficient measure?
This modern portfolio theory statistic measures a fund's volatility relative to a broad benchmark, commonly the S&P 500 index. Although betas are normally associated with stocks, they are also used for bonds.
Beta is typically calculated on the basis of monthly returns over the past three years. A fund that seesaws in perfect sync with the market has a beta of 1.0. Portfolios that are more volatile relative to the S&P 500, such as aggressive-growth funds, have betas greater than 1.0; more conservative investments, such as utility funds, have coefficients of less than 1.0. Beta readings for gold, international, and other funds that move independently of the S&P 500 are not meaningful, so it's wise to check the standard deviation along with beta when you're examining volatility. Both are found in AAII's Individual Investor's Guide to the Top Mutual Funds and at Morningstar.com.
What is standard deviation?
The most insightful and dependable barometer for all funds, standard deviation reflects the degree to which returns fluctuate around their average. It is usually based on monthly returns over the past 36 months. The higher the number, the greater the volatility; for a stock fund that has an average annual return of 12% and a standard deviation of 20%, you can expect to earn between 32% and -8% in about two out of every three years.
A useful investing basics summary statistic, standard deviation allows you to make comparisons across as well as within fund categories. The standard deviation generally tends to work better than beta because it is a purer, more universal number; it is not based on the relationship of return to fluctuations in an index. For bond funds, standard deviation is a more comprehensive yardstick than duration because it reflects all sources of volatility, not just interest-rate risk.
AAII provides a useful 'risk index' based on the standard deviation of a fund relative to the average standard deviation for its category in the Quarterly Low-Load Mutual Fund Update Newsletter. A fund with a risk index of, say, 1.4 is 40% more volatile than its group average.
A Caveat: Risk statistics are based exclusively on historical numbers and are not necessarily predictive. The period used to calculate the measure may not be representative of the future investment climate. While a fund's risk is generally more predictable than its return, major changes in the way it is managed can cause its future volatility to differ strikingly from past ups and downs.

Zito Happens, The Evolution of Hillary, Cards Roll
Zito Happens
I sure hope that Hilary Duff hookup back in February 2007 was worth it for Barry Zito because he hasn't been the same pitcher since. While most people would like to point out his faulty mechanics and the pressure to perform after landing a fat paycheck as the reasons for his meltdown, I know better. It's the ladies. They can be nagging after all, and if you have to go home to someone who is way more successful than you are — a hottie who played a girl named McGuire (wink, wink at the Bay love connection) — it's easy to see how difficult it could be to throw strikes.
In the second inning of today's loss against the Diamondbacks, Zito couldn't find the strikezone with a Sherman tank full of maps. He walked the bases loaded and on a 2-0 count to the until-then hitless pitcher, Brandon Webb, he threw a fastball and gave up a two run single.
As a friend (a Giants fan no less) recently told me: "Zito Happens."
The Evolution of Hillary
As much as Obama tries to make this about the issues, Hillary just can't let go of the "same old politics" and she is embarrassing me as member of the Democratic Party. In tonight's debate, she said:
"I may be a lot of things, but I'm not dumb."
Well I'm not dumb either, Hillary, and I think it's pretty clear what path we U.S. Americans would be taking if you become our Democratic nominee:
Cards Roll
Like some old guy at the bus stop tells himself out loud every morning (as if I'm not standing next to him), "Actions speak louder than words." I think he thinks he made that up. In any case, he's right…
…and so am I, so don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
P.S. Where the hell is Allen? The Hockeytown Tigers have won three in a row and he's still hiding in shame for not supporting Jack Morris' HOF bid. What a loser.
7 Comments
I am not going to pick on Allen this time, mainly because he is out saving the world and if I am really nice to him, maybe he will get me a kicka$$ job after I get out of the military.
However, I do agree with you about the lack of love heading towards the Nellyville area. On paper, we should be towards the bottom of the barrel. However, paper statistics do not take into account the many other factors that go into a good ballclub. Ankiel, last night, completed a 17 pitch count from Villanueva and got a walk. He hit off 11 or 12 foul balls in order to get his walk. That is the kind of maturity that I am enjoying from him and the other young OFs. He isn't going up there and either hitting a home run or striking out. Word!
Good point, Tim. I watched that at bat and Ankiel was spoiling good pitch after good pitch. He looked determined too, finally taking a walk. I'm really impressed with his patience. Villanueva threw 30+ pitches in the first inning. Hard to come back from that tiring effort.
I agree with you guys and i personally am a big cardinals fan. I am sick and tired of hearing like about NY and BOSTON like you mentioned. Especially since the majority of that fan base is nothing but front runners and people that jumped on the bandwagon when Boston won the world series in 04. I just recently moved to miami and still in a city where Dolphin Stadium is 20 minutes away and no one knows anything about Boston or the Red Sox, i see nothing Red Sox "fans" and Yankee "fans". And the sad parts is i went into BC collectables sports store at the mall and there is more Yankees Red Sox merchandise then there is Florida Marlins stuff. The media must be "blind" especially ESPN and it's counterparts.
Thanks for stopping by, montypaintball. I feel sorry for Marlin fans (all five of them). Drop in anytime as we're always Yankee bashing, Cub bashing, acting goofy and saying what's on our minds — those of us who have them. (btw, my counterpart, Allen Krause, is a REAL person, I swear… he just disappears from time to time as he works for the US GOVT. Very secretive fella).
I'd be amazed if Zito was listening to any of his chicks' yapping anyway. He's a good looking, quirky guy so I don't think he'd be having trouble no matter what he did for a living. The difference is that the pretty girls he gets now are famous.
Ah, the misogyny is so refreshing.
I've been feeling badly for Zito. He's obviously frustrated at his own poor performance. I've never gotten the impression he's a slacker, and I'm fairly certain *he's* not blaming anyone but himself.
But when the chips are down, everyone, let's blame women.
You people suck.
I think you've really got something there, xelasalex. Yes, we do suck. If we didn't, we'd be employed by MLB not just freelancing and putting our lives on the line. We're not ashamed of it. Thanks for stopping by though. Always glad to meet new people.

- Abstract
- We study the environment of wet, dry, and mixed galaxy mergers at 0.75 < z < 1.2 using close pairs in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey. We find that the typical environment of mixed and dry merger candidates is denser than that of wet mergers, mostly due to the color-density relation. While the galaxy companion rate (Nc) is observed to increase with overdensity, using N-body simulations we find that the fraction of pairs that will eventually merge decreases with the local density, predominantly because interlopers are more common in dense environments. After taking into account the merger probability of pairs as a function of local density, we find only marginal environment dependence of the fractional merger rate for wet mergers over the redshift range we have probed. On the other hand, the fractional dry merger rate increases rapidly with local density due to the increased population of red galaxies in dense environments. We also find that the environment distribution of K+A galaxies is similar to that of wet mergers alone and of wet+mixed mergers, suggesting a possible connection between K+A galaxies and wet and/or wet+mixed mergers. We conclude that, as early as z ~ 1, high-density regions are the preferred environment in which dry mergers occur, and that present-day red-sequence galaxies in overdense environments have, on average, undergone 1.2+-0.3 dry mergers since this time, accounting for (38+-10)% of their mass accretion in the last 8 billion years. Our findings suggest that dry mergers are crucial in the mass-assembly of massive red galaxies in dense environments, such as Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in galaxy groups and clusters.

Kids these days, people think. With their smartphones, Bluetooth, and eight ways to chat with their BFFs without leaving the house, attention spans are nonexistent. It's a scary, scary world.
Well, as a member of the Millennial generation, let me enlighten you. I remember life before Google, and my talent for finding distractions was just as developed as any kid's is today.
That is where NPR's list of best-ever teen novels comes in handy.
Parents, hear this – it just takes one. My turning point was the year I discovered a strange little book series called Weetzie Bat (see number 89). I was enthralled. I kept Borders in business, and my parents thought, Phew. Maybe she didn't get switched at the hospital.
Read this list. It's predictable and surprising at the same time. And so what if your kid chooses Twilight (bummer, I know)? They'll come to their senses one day.
Just remember, they could be watching Teen Mom.
See, print, and read the full list at NPR.

canine calming wrap calms owners...
By gramma g
from Whitehorse Yukon Territory Canada
The product has saved me from giaving away my dog.. it calmed her when people were at the door and just generally works.... Took a little bit to figure out how to put it on... but once we passed that hurdle it works.... it workss I am doing my happy dance.. thank you so much
Sorry--this didn't calm my canine
By Coco
from Baton Rouge, LA
You apply this to your dog like a wrap...it is precise, well made but did not work. My Shih Tzu--Coco trembles and hyperventilates when she hears a thunderstorm...I applied the wrap and even left it on a day to give her time to adjust...poor thing just defecated, trembled and was in a panic as if she were not wearing it. It was of no help for us.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This is concerning the proposed Highway 59 North Lightburne duplex development zoning change
Since 1967, my mother has lived on North Lightburne Street, a predominantly middle-class, Hispanic neighborhood consisting of 42 single-family homes. The large vacant tract of land behind North Lightburne Street is currently zoned commercial (along Highway 59 West) and R-1 (single-family) adjacent to the homes located to the west of North Lightburne Street, part of the Casa Bonita subdivision. This site is now the subject of a proposed mixed-duplex and single-family development by The Apple Company of Texas Realty Group, LLC. A zoning request to change all of the property to an R-3 (multi-family) designation will be considered by the City Planning and Zoning Commission on July 3, 2013.
After considering potential construction of a 42 duplex (84 housing unit) development with no single-family homes, developer Bobby Apple has agreed, subject to obtaining his zoning change request, to build a mixed development consisting of a maximum of 32 duplexes (64 housing units) near the front of the development along Highway 59 West and a minimum of 10 single-family homes toward the back of the development, with North Lightburne Street remaining a dead-end street closed to everyday traffic with a locked access gate between Flores Street (off of North Lightburne Street) and new Amistad Street, accessible solely to emergency first responders. The proposed development would have no low-income housing component.
Mr. Apple's plan is to initially build 10 duplexes and 10 single-family homes in order to gauge the community's needs and determine how to proceed with the remainder of his development. His proposed plan promises to be a quality development consisting of brick duplexes and single-family homes, landscaping, wooden fences, drainage improvements and a new paved street (Amistad Street). These units would be offered for sale and lease. The Beeville Planning and Zoning Commission and, ultimately, the Beeville City Council, should approve the zoning change request to permit construction of Mr. Apple's mixed duplex (32 maximum) and single-family (10 minimum) development.
This development is significantly better for the North Lightburne Street neighborhood than an ill-conceived development proposed approximately five years ago by a different property owner and developer to build a massive Section 8 low-income housing apartment complex on this tract of land, including connecting North Lightburne Street with that development which would have brought a large and overwhelming influx of people, traffic and noise to that quiet neighborhood.
Mr. Apple's mixed duplex and single-family home development is a good compromise balancing the interests of the North Lightburne Street neighborhood with Beeville's overall need for new quality housing needed to attract new industry.
A properly designed mixed duplex and single-family home development, with North Lightburne remaining a dead-end street and with a no low-income housing component, is a "win win" for that neighborhood and all of Beeville.

Doctor, Doctor, Give Me The News…
Following in the footsteps (gurney tracks?) of Raul Ibanez and Scott Eyre, Brad Lidge became the third Phillie to have surgery this week. In addition to repairing his flexor pronator tendon, he also had a loose body removed from his right (pitching) elbow.
Oh, wait, wrong kind of body. Apparently "loose bodies" look a bit more like this:
A little piece of bone which has broken off and is now floating around inside the elbow joint, wreaking havoc and causing pain.
Given all this carnage that was going on inside his elbow, is it any wonder that Lidge's season was a total suck-fest? Of course, many pitchers continue to pitch through injuries, so it's hard to say with certainty that this was the sole cause of his problems this year.
According to phillies.com, he should be ready to begin throwing in about eight weeks. Though he may be a bit behind in Spring Training, the Phillies are optimistic that he will be ready to pitch by Opening Day. Let's just hope that he returns to 2008 form, and does not have a repeat of 2009.

Speaking of Spring Training…
I don't know about the rest of you, but ever since I discovered the Phillies had posted their tentative Spring Training schedule online, I have found myself sitting and staring at it several times a day. Just…staring…at…it.
(Well, I'm sure those of you who are fans of other teams are staring at your own team's schedule, not the Phillies')
Will 2010 bring a return trip to Clearwater for me and the hubby? Hold on while I go plant a crop of money trees in my backyard🙂.

It seems as though the offseason is longer than the regular season sometimes!! Hope the Phillies will get into form next season and ready to help deny the Yankees of #28… That's my goal and I'm sticking with it!!
Yeah, I keep looking at the schedule too and it is making me sad :O( Doesn't look like I will have an time to take off from work…was hoping Spring Break would coincided, but no such luck. Plus, the money tree would be helpful too ;o)
Kind weird that Lidge admits the injury now. The year long struggles may have played a part with the injury
kinda ironic Lidge just admits the injury now. Maybe that had something to do with his year long hours?
Money trees… forgot to plant mine in the summer, think it's to late now…. stormy weathers brought the last one down…. would love to go to Florida with my golf clubs at signs of first snow and stay through spring training… but alas (just checked again) the money tree fell over and has wilted to nothing more than mulch….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Hi, hope you see this:
You asked where I got the info about Brad Lidge having both elbow and hip surgery. I saw it several places, but one of them was on MLB news.
If you google Lidge hip surgery, you'll see it on several news services.
Sue, if you go to Clearwater in March let me know. I have a speaking gig in FL in mid-March and am planning to see the Yankees in Tampa after that. So maybe there's a meetup in our future?
Sometimes a player has to decide whether playing through injury is better for his team, or letting his teammates take over when he cannot produce.
I am counting the days till pitchers and catchers report. i am looking forward to returning to Arizona, minus the tickets I got there last year. This time I ethier fly or watch my speed v e r y c a r e f u l l y. No money tree here but I am building up a few hotel points with this trip I made to N.H.
Sue, LOL @ the "loose bodies"! I wish everyone a quick and complete recovery from their various surgeries. And I, too, am looking forward to the start of spring training, although I won't be making the trip down to Florida unless I win the lottery. I'm definitely going through baseball withdrawl…and the start of spring training will mean that the 2010 baseball season is just around the corner!
Shelley http://diamonddiva.mlblogs.com/
Money trees? Where can I get them? Will they grow in New England? Please send me some saplings….
Seriously, I'm getting caught up on your blog here and I'm enjoying your random thoughts.
-Phils phan in MA
Oh man, that piece of bone floating around in the elbow… blehhhh, that is totally gross looking. I'm sorry that your computer has a virus, that is most unfortunate, I hope it is not swine flu. I also find myself staring at the Rockies spring training schedule, dreaming about the possibility that this might be my first spring training, ya know, if I can get a job and then get the time off. But I'm with ya here, Sue.

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre turning 40 with special season
Given Milwaukee's thriving theater scene, it's hard to imagine the landscape in 1975, when Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson launched the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre as what was then only the second year-round Milwaukee theater company — along with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater — hiring Equity actors.
Under artistic director C. Michael Wright — to whom Davis handed the baton in 2005 — the Chamber is celebrating its 40th birthday with a five-play season titled "Something Old, Borrowed and New," in which past Chamber hits will share the stage with new plays. It all gets underway with "Master Class," a collaboration with Milwaukee Opera Theatre and Carroll University beginning Aug. 7. »Read Full Article

We love the chocolates coming from Askinosie, a great American bean-to-bar chocolate company in the utterly unlikely location of Springfield, Missouri.
They've spent the years sourcing the best cacao beans from around the world. The beans used for this bar come from the Tenende plantation in Tanzania. The chocolate is rather mild for something so dark (72%). It's smooth, with hints of dried cherry and some earthy notes.
The result of Shawn's work—in eye-catching packaging—is astounding. Great for any level of chocolate lover.

Druckenmiller Hall - 204B
The addition of different chemical groups to amino acids within proteins can influence how proteins function in an organism. Protein arginine methyltransferases are a family of eukaryotic enzymes that catalyze one of the smallest protein modifications, the addition of one or two methyl groups to the amino acid arginine. Arginine methylation of proteins affects many important cellular processes including gene expression, intracellular transport and signaling. The goal of research in the McBride lab is to understand different roles of this ubiquitous modification, using yeast as a model system.
By studying baker's yeast, we have been able to take advantage of many biochemical, genetic, genomic and cell biological tools to understand how arginine methylation affects protein transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of this single-celled eukaryote. We have now expanded these studies to the related yeast Candida albicans in the hopes of gaining insight into how arginine methylation affects protein function in this pathogenic yeast.

Dordt College News
Dordt College appoints Nathan Tintle as new director of research and scholarship
April 22, 2014
Dr. Nathan Tintle has been appointed the new director of research and scholarship at Dordt College.
"Dr. Tintle possesses a collaborative spirit, and his skills will help him model scholarship efforts and provide others with encouragement and successful guidance in their scholarship ventures," says Dordt College Provost Eric Forseth, who cited Tintle's deep commitment to the Reformed Christian perspective, his research successes, and his ability to "synthesize, deduce, manage, and implement" scholarship and grant submissions as important strengths for this position.
"I am passionate about research," says Tintle. "Research helps us to discover and learn about the wondrous intricacies of God's creation—to be on the frontlines of the continuous enfolding of a creation that, at every step, is yet again more wondrous, beautiful, and complex than the previous step. God has given us the charge to rule over the world and be good stewards of it. Research, facilitated by the scientific method/inductive reasoning, gives us a venue for learning about the beautiful tapestry of creation and to obtain a glimpse of its wonder and the sovereignty of its creator."
Tintle has served as a professor of statistics at Dordt since 2011, during which time he has earned several awards and research grants, including a best paper award from the Journal of Statistics Education, the Award for Noteworthy Scholarship by Dordt College, and the American Statistical Association's Waller Education Award for excellence in teaching statistics. He has amassed external research grants worth more than $2 million in his time at Dordt, including a substantial National Institutes of Health grant for work with the Human Genome Research Institute.
Tintle is also active in the development of new curricular materials and pedagogical strategies in undergraduate statistics education. He has published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles, has mentored more than 60 undergraduate research fellows since 2006, and currently serves as a committee member for the Section for Statistics Education of the American Statistical Association.

Ok, as discussed with Lynn in Lisa's thread, it occurred to me that a lot of people who come on this site (like me, when I first joined!) have never had any major surgery and go into the whole experience without knowing some of the things that can prove most helpful.
The "what to take to hospital" list is amazingly useful, but I thought if we could back it up with some of our knowledge it might help some people?
I'm thinking about things (both important and tiny little tricks) that I didn't know when I went in, like -
1) you can ask to see the pain specialist/team if you're really struggling with either pain or the effects of the meds they have you on, and you'll then be under the care of pain nurses as well which can really help.
2) if you are in the night before your surgery you can ask for a sleeping tablet to help you sleep if you're nervous, and
3) you can ask for a "premed" for before you go down to surgery if you're really scared and think you'll panic!
4) if the morphine etc is making you feel sick all the time you can ask for antinausea meds so you can keep some food down which will make you feel better.
5) if you're claustrophobic or just feel a bit ick with the oxygen mask over your face you have the clip that goes into your nose instead and doesn't dry out your face and mouth.
6) something which you all told Michael when I was in hospital that worked brilliantly - make a fuss if something's not right, don't just accept it!
Um, that's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure everyone has some ideas of things that helped them when they were in?
