Yahoo!: 'A Show Me State'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Yahoo! (YHOO) shares have enjoyed a tremendous run since Marissa Mayer took over as CEO in mid-July. However, she'll need to deliver results to keep moving the stock higher, as Wall Street looks for answers instead of promises.
It's been six months since I said that Mayer was a bad choice for Yahoo! , noting that she had never led a turnaround project as big as this one. The share price appreciation since her hire date says I'm wrong. As One Republic and Timbaland would say, It's Too Late to Apologize .
Third-quarter earnings from Yahoo! were better-than-expected, boosted by encouraging news from its Asian assets, namely Alibaba. Yahoo! shares have significantly outperformed the Nasdaq in the past six months, gaining 26.4%, compared to a 6.48% gain in the tech-heavy index. Core Yahoo!, specifically its content properties, including Sports, Finance, and others, are going to be Mayer's big focus, as she tries to leverage Yahoo!'s enormous traffic (some 700 million monthly users) into revenue growth.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster is looking for Mayer to detail her plans for the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based firm, now that the honeymoon period's ending. "
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect the company to earn 28 cents a share on $1.21 billion for the quarter. The Estimize consensus is for 31 cents a share on $1.208 billion in revenue.
Mayer has repeatedly said she is trying to focus on the company's mobile experience and personalization, though that process will take much longer than the six months she's been on the job. The CEO's already had one major problem when it comes to mobile, as Fantasy Football suffered a major outage during the season, upsetting millions of users.
One thing Mayer has going for her is the billions in cash Yahoo! received in the deal to sell a part of its Alibaba stake, not to mention to the significant holdings it still has left. Yahoo! had approximately $7.89 a share in cash at the end of the September quarter, according to BGC Partners analyst Collin Gillis. Gillis also noted that the "market value of Yahoo's 35% stake in Yahoo! Japan and approximately 24% stake in Alibaba.com was valued on September 30, 2012 at $15.84B, approximately $13.25/share." Those two add up to over $21 per share, suggesting the market is not valuing core Yahoo! at much, if anything at all.
Munster, like many on Wall Street, is looking to see if Yahoo! will talk about how to allocate some of this significant cash hoard towards acquisitions to strengthen its properties. There have been a few small "acqui-hires," including Stamped, an iPhone app purchased in October, and OnTheAir, purchased in December.

Printer return foiled by counterfeit bills
Police say man had photocopied $100 bills
Police said a Wisconsin man faces charges after trying to return a printer to a Walmart store that contained a sheet with two photocopied $100 bills.
Lake Hallie Police Chief Cal Smokowicz said police found three more counterfeit $100 bills on the man, who was also wanted on burglary and armed robbery warrants.
The Chippewa Herald reported police were called to the Lake Hallie Walmart on Thursday because the 37-year-old West Bend man tried to return the printer without receipts or proof he bought the printer there. After being told he was under arrest, police said the man physically resisted officers at the store's service counter.
He was jailed on suspicion of attempted theft by fraud, forgery and resisting arrest. Police are looking for a second man who was with him.

Except for when she didn't. This week. ?ReplyCancel
Jen GReplyCancel
Garner is higher than B list even if I don't like her.ReplyCancel
Oh dear. Is Ben A+?ReplyCancel
Agree Kristen…Jennifer must be getting tired of Ben's antics? Only a matter of time before another stripper story hits the media now.ReplyCancel
I would never rank Ben as A+ but this is Enty soReplyCancel
Morning ya'llReplyCancel
excuse you, violet! Have you never seen Juno or Butter?! Those are far superior to anything Ben has been in so if he's A+ she's at least B+. I mean enty ranks Blake Lively as B and jenn deserves higher than that.ReplyCancel
But she was great in Alias. What happened to your leg?
(I know I know… Shot.)
@TTM we'll all be wasted before noon.ReplyCancel
Better quick amend rules to beer shots. Good lord.ReplyCancel
Butter was so good! No one I talk to has ever heard of it.ReplyCancel
I had to give up on spelling, my liver begged offReplyCancel
Well, Violet… At the rate this morning is going, we will all have matching injuries just attempting to walk….ReplyCancel
Tatum'swife or Jennifer Garner? And yes,Garner was very good in Juno .ReplyCancel
Interesting fun fact. Amish men grow beards after they get married as a sign of marital status. Try taking that off!ReplyCancel
Agreed Jen…and not to flog a dead horse…but this ratings thing is truly bass ackwards..
Kristin Bell-a (with schlocky films like Sarah Marshall, which admittedly was funny schlock)
Jennifer Garner-b list with acclaimed movies like Dallas buyers club, Juno
Hmmis bell is A based on work done from a v/o booth, then why not all animated contributing actors in high grossing filmslike….pee wee Herman, why not he A?ReplyCancel
Hey All!ReplyCancel
Or Ellen degeneres?is she A as well?ReplyCancel
with channing's resume, he can def pull a crowd, hence why i guessed him for this. step up, magic mike, the jump streets, romance, action, etc. jenna is very pretty but her resume is not as high profile – however, just due to her marriage, it would put her at b.
ben/jen i would put at a-ish list.
trying to come up with other married couples where the dude is the more famous one.ReplyCancel
Agree – Ben and jen. Jen's sending her final message? The Rings as the symbol of "commitment" are meaningless Ben when you keep shi****g all over it. Rings not going back on until you get your sh*t together and grow up.ReplyCancel
Jada and Will?ReplyCancel
with JLO's recent interview discussing how she "dressed" Affleck—–maybe that just put Jen over the edge-huh?
wouldn't be surprised to see some type of hook-up there if it hasn't already happened. weren't they supposed to be in touch occasionally by email? I always thought maybe their thing was unresolved-Ben and JLOReplyCancel
I'm not sure why we waste time arguing about what someone's rating "should be". We rarely agree with a Enty on ratings, and that's all we really know.ReplyCancel
I thought of Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks, but I think the Ben/Jen guesses are good too….ReplyCancel
According to Enty Jenna and Elsa are both C+ so that crosses them out.
I guess it could be Jennifer although I hope not. I actually like them together.
people just did a report on how Jen can't understand Bens gambling. We kneed pads involve you know something is up
Just person the woman not worrying a ring doesn't mean anythingReplyCancel
I think it's supposed to be Ben/Jen. Dragon, I'm with you, I like them together and I loved Alias.ReplyCancel
I know everyone says garner, but my first thought was Rita whozit..you know Mrs Tom (A+) hanks. Women I know may remove engagement rings to avoid damage, but rarely take off little gold bands..when would celeb wives do any dirty work that would require it? Never.ReplyCancel
JAHRL is right, it's silly to argue over "ratings" every day.
Garner was just in Dallas Buyers Club, a respectable film. I'm not sure she's given up on her position in Hollywood/marriage yet.
JLo did dress Ben. He never looked even halfway decent until he got with her. Then all of a sudden he looked sharp.ReplyCancel
what's the problem with Channing & Jenna's marriage?? I'm outa the loop I guess=why so many of you guys guess Jenna & Channing?ReplyCancel
I agree that Butter is fantastic! Garner was amazing.ReplyCancel

I have tried all the multipurpose creams.. and they are either too thick or to thin. but when i tried this one the Soothing touch Versa Creme ( and I have used both scented and unscented ) and it has been the best by far.. and it is easily pump-able as well. And the best part is the price... Thank you for such a great product. OH and cant forget .. I dont find it hard to get it out of the sheets either..
I love Soothing Touch Versa Crème. It is versatile for all modalities. I appreciate the fact that I do not have to spend a ton of money for it either. I have used it for over 6 months now. My clients love it too!
I was trying to find a massage creme for a very particular client who cannot tolerate oil or scent, so I thought I would give this a try because of the reasonable price. However, it has some sort of chemical smell to it and leaves the same scent on my sheets, even after washing. (I seem to remember the same residual scent from other Soothing Touch cremes in the past). I would have rated it less, but it does have decent glide and the cost is very low.
Excellent product, this cream beats all of the others glides on and stays on for a good deep tissue.
Use a little to get great drag, use a little more to get great glide. AND I can store it on my arm and it doesn't melt off onto the floor! Love this product. Been using it for years now.

Former Vatican butler Paolo Gabriele meets Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican City prison Saturday, as seen in this handout photo released by the Osservatore Romano.
VATICAN CITY - Pope Benedict made a surprise pre-Christmas visit to the jail holding his former butler on Saturday and pardoned him for stealing and leaking documents that alleged corruption in the Holy See.
The pope and Paolo Gabriele spent about 15 minutes together before Gabriele was freed and allowed to return to his family in their Vatican apartment, a Vatican spokesman said.
Gabriele was convicted of aggravated theft on Oct. 6 in a case that shone unwelcome publicity on the Vatican and had been serving an 18-month sentence in a jail cell in the city state's police headquarters.
"This was a paternal gesture towards a person with whom the pope shared his daily life for several years," Father Federico Lombardi, a spokesman, said.
"This is a happy ending in this Christmas season," he said.
Pope Benedict: 'Sadness in my heart' over butler leak scandal
Gabriele was arrested in May after Vatican police found many documents in his possession that had been stolen from the pope's office.
The former butler gave them to the media in what mushroomed into an embarrassing scandal for Benedict's pontificate that became known as "Vatileaks."
The pope's once-trusted butler, Paulo Gabriele, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his part in leaking private Vatican documents. NBC's Duncan Golestani reports.
Pope's ex-butler Paolo Gabriele gets 18-month sentence in 'Vatileaks' case
Gabriele told investigators he had leaked the documents because he saw "evil and corruption everywhere in the Church" and that information was being hidden from the pope.
The Vatican said the pope had also pardoned a second Vatican employee, Claudio Sciarpelletti, who was convicted in a separate trial of helping Gabriele and given a two month suspended sentence.
Gabriele will no longer be able to work in the Vatican but will be helped to find a job and start a new life outside its walls together with his family, the Vatican said.
Pope's ex-butler says eyesight was damaged by 24-hour light in Vatican cell
Gabriele, 46, told the court that convicted him at the trial - one of the most sensational in the recent history of the Holy See - that he did not consider himself a thief and that he had done what he did out of "visceral" love for the Church.
In one of the most dramatic betrayals of trust in Vatican history, Gabriele, who served the pope his meals and helped him dress, photocopied sensitive documents under the nose of his immediate superiors in a small office adjacent to the papal living quarters in the Apostolic Palace.
He then hid more than 1,000 copies and original documents, including some the pope had marked "to be destroyed," among many thousands of other papers and old newspaper clippings in a huge armoire in the family apartment inside the Vatican walls.
A former member of the small, select group known as "the papal family", Gabriele was one of fewer than 10 people who had a key to an elevator leading directly to the pope's apartments.

Gasoline prices are ridiculous
To the editor:
How much longer are we going to put up with getting ripped off?
I do a little traveling to see my children in Northern Virginia. I just recently came back from the Washington, D.C., area and paid $3.47 a gallon for gas. On Tuesday in Imperial, Pa., I paid $3.50 for gas. Here in the Steubenville and Wintersville area it's $3.99.
Please, please, explain this to me. We have lost our mills and are scrambling to keep jobs, and the oil companies are ripping us off. Does it cost 50 cents or 60 cents more to deliver to our area? Please let these people know we've had enough. If I'm that low on gas I'll put a couple dollars in to get me to Cadiz, West Virginia or Pennsylvania to fill up there.
The only way to tell them we won't stand for it is hit them in their pocketbooks, they don't have any trouble trying to steal from ours.

The night was dark and the highway seemingly empty. Two men inside a truck had the radio on and the windows rolled up, the vents of the vehicle pumping out a stream of cool air.
From behind a bank, a woman in red appeared. She yelled "stop." The men heard her, and the driver slowed down.
This, Jimmie Stephenson said, happened to her sons-in-law 15 years ago. Had they continued driving at the same speed, she said, they would have slammed into a van ahead of them, which only seconds before had collided with another car.
"Both swear they saw this lady in a red dress standing on a bank a good ways from the road … It was just really bizarre," said Stephenson, a resident of Portales.
Her sons-in-law rushed to the aid of the survivors of the accident, Stephenson said. Several died, but the woman in red was not amongst them, nor was she seen in the crowd of survivors, or ever again by the men, Stephenson said.
"We just felt like it was one of those things. They got a warning. They weren't supposed to be in that accident," Stephenson said.
"A lot of people," she said, "label miracles too freely. But I think this was one. It is just unexplainable."
A miracle, according to the Catholic doctrine, is indeed an extraordinary event, but it occurs most frequently with prayer and the intercession of a saint — the Blessed Virgin Mary, the most powerful, according to Father Leonardo Pahamtang of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Muleshoe. To achieve sainthood status, one must intercede in three miracles afterlife, he said. But a miracle cannot occur without the blessing of God, Pahamtang said.
Others define a miracle less stringently.
Friona's Joyce Veazey didn't pray to a saint for the miracle she received. But if not for it, she fears what may have happened.
Four bombs tore through the London subway on July 7. That morning, Veazey left London for Paris.
She and her grandson had been staying with Veazey's oldest daughter about 75 miles east of London. Her daughter made plans for herself and her guests, sending them sightseeing in Paris, rather than to the heart of London.
"We could have been there," Veazey said. "The more we thought about it, the scarier it became."
The family, who caught a train to Paris in a station outside London, did not learn of their could-have-been brush with tragedy until reading a headline in an English paper.
"I think God was with my daughter when she made those plans not to go into London that day. And I also think God has a purpose for us not being caught in that mess," Veazey said.
This concept sweeps across religions and cultures and it is not limited to the Catholic faith, or any other, said the Rev. Scott Jarvis, an instructor of religion at Eastern New Mexico University
"A miracle is something that is beyond the order of things. It is not just a Christian concept. What one person considers a miracle, someone else may pass off as a coincidence. There is no even definition for what is miraculous," Jarvis said.
Though miraculous events — defined by one dictionary as an event or action that contradicts known scientific laws — have been attributed to higher beings of a multitude of names, the miracle Rev. Steve Brown witnessed, he attributes to God.
Brown prayed for a healing, and he got it.
It was last summer when Brown's friend was seriously injured in a bicycle accident and he rushed to the emergency room at Clovis' Plains Regional Medical Center. As he waited for word on the friend's condition, a woman seated near him moaned in pain, her stomach swollen.
"As a Christian, I am sensitive to people in pain," said Brown, who immediately assumed the woman was pregnant. "I said 'How's your baby?' and she said she was not pregnant, she had a gall bladder infection."
Brown locked hands with the moaning woman's and began to pray. The woman interrupted him, his prayer not yet complete.
Her distended belly had shrunk.
"She said 'I am not in pain anymore.' All this had happened in a matter of seconds. I have prayed for many people," the reverend said, an open Bible near him on a table, "but never have I seen an instant healing like this. There is no doubt in my mind that God had done something incredible."
His friend and colleague in ministry, Larry Coiner, also witnessed the healing.
"Her stomach didn't just pancake up, but it went slowly down as (Brown) was praying," Coiner said, leaning forward in a large, drafty room which he and Brown hope to turn into a ministry center.
"It was a miracle," he added, his hands crossed below his knees, "I can tell you that."

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Remember Father made the Flame Alch go blind. I was wonderin did he get his vision back at the end of the series?
yes he did though it wasn't seen in the series. They got the stone from one the glass man chimera with Al..as I remember
in the end he was still blind.
but marcoh came with a philosopher's stone, and said that "we can get your vision back with this"
mustang agreed but he said that havoc comes first.
rest isn't seen, but it's implied in the epilogue that they both got healed
Last edited by Flame Alchemist; 12-18-2011 at 09:54 AM.
Reason: for the grammar mistakes
in manga no in anime yeah
It's been implied he has...
In the epilogue he was shown walking with Riza with no need for guidance, se we can presume he did.

Style and Fashion writers often say that style is more dependent on personality than on actual clothes and accessories.
Moreover, if our style doesn't depend on the clothes and accessories we're wearing, it can be constant all year round. But then… how is it that we all feel more beautiful in Summer? Or in Spring? Or in Winter? Or in Autumn? We tend to feel happier and therefore more beautiful and stylish in the season we identify with most.
What happens if our style has all the seasons? Don't we prefer one season over another? Or doesn't our style reflect our state of mind? Or doesn't it influence our personality and therefore our beauty?
And for us there are some candidates in this casting whose style and beauty is not a season – it is all year round.
We leave you these two examples: Birce from Turkey and Allo from the Russian Federation. We like these two year-round, very different world beauties.
Now one question for you to answer: what's your beauty season? And why?

@sandy: I am confused about the CDaN monarchy system. I know Count and VIP are King and Queen, so technically Wiglet is our Princess. Is this correct? And if so, does this make you Prince? Or is that title still up for the taking? Will a joust be involved?ReplyCancel
Yes she is the Princess and I am a mere wannabe.ReplyCancel
Then what am I village idiot.?!!
Jokes. Thanks again especially to lady h
@sugarbread thanks! Better to look younger than older I guess right? I did not buy those olive oils yet but maybe I will experiment with a bottle from whole foods cause I don't cook that much
Lolz! Ok Derek is now a contender for CDaN Prince. Anyone else want to compete for the crown?!ReplyCancel
Guys, I'm RIGHT HERE.
I always pictured you as a really glam prime ministress. But I will accept no less than co-Princess with Wiglet or at least a Grand Duchess for you, my fair lady @TTMReplyCancel
You and your faux American royalty. At least I probably have some real royal blood in me. Harry and i are practically first cousins being both English and red headed. Which by definition means I am also the cousin of the future King William. Bow down peasants.ReplyCancel
Yup…#1 here AGAIN, lol. Not today ;( but hi anyways @TTMReplyCancel
AJ…great pic, you are stunning to say the least 😉ReplyCancel
Great reader pics…nary a troll in sight 😉 All beautiful!!!ReplyCancel
I always want to comment on readers photos but I get overwhelmed. You're all beautiful – is all I can say right now. I really enjoy getting to see the faces of the regular commenters as well as readers especially when we get to share big events with them (kind of?) like AJ getting married!ReplyCancel
Kristin is the princess Sprink. Hi Juicy!!ReplyCancel

Some 1,500 African elephant tusks — the biggest seizure ever — were found this week hidden within timber planks and destined for China's ivory market. Shocked conservationists noted 2012 will now go down as the worst year in 24 years of records — and warned that 2013 could be even worse.
"In 2011 we thought the threats to elephants couldn't get any worse and 2012 draws to a close with the depressing news that the slaughter of elephants hasn't even drawn close to their zenith," said Jason Bell, who runs the International Fund for Animal Welfare's elephant program. "The illegal trade is simply voracious in its appetite for ivory."
Hidden in 10 crates shipped in two cargo containers, the tusks were found Monday by Malaysian customs officials at the port near Kuala Lumpur. The shipment had come from Togo in West Africa.
The tusks weigh about 20 tons, nearly as much as all that was seized in 2011 — a year when an estimated 25,000 elephants were slaughtered for their tusks. For all of 2012, about 34 tons have been seized.
Ivory can fetch up to $1,000 a pound, the World Wildlife Fund said in a new report on poaching of elephants, rhinos and tigers.
"The bloody ivory trade has reached new heights of destruction and depravity in 2012," echoed Will Travers, head of Born Free USA.
"No part of Africa is now safe," he added. "Across the continent, for the first time, the number of carcasses recorded as a result of poaching exceeds the number reportedly dying from natural causes."
The groups worry that the start of Africa's dry season will fuel a new round of poaching in the coming weeks. Since 1979, when Africa still had an estimated 1.3 million elephants, the population has declined to an estimated 450,000 in 2007, according to the group Save the Elephants.
Some 150 armed Sudanese men were seen riding on camels and horses across the Central African Republic a few weeks ago and locals suspect they were looking for elephant herds, according to a report on nationalgeographic.com.
Conservationists fear another massacre like the one in Cameroon earlier this year when some 600 elephants inside a national park — half the local population — were killed.
The tusks from that slaughter were never recovered, Bell noted.
A poaching resurgence has pushed up the price of ivory, resulting in more elephant carnage. But some of the baby elephants orphaned in the wake of such violence will survive -- thanks to the dedication of naturalist Daphne Sheldrick. NBC's Chelsea Clinton reports.
"It is an indication of an illegal industry completely out of control that lawmakers still have no idea where the massive amounts of ivory poached in Cameroon have gone," he said.
The groups urged the international community to fund a protection plan already endorsed by African nations with elephant populations.
Bell said needed actions include "swift DNA identification of seized ivory, so that we know how and where to point our efforts to prevent further poaching and close down transit routes for smuggled ivory."

China's status as an authorized ivory trading nation is also under fire from conservationists, who want it revoked until it can prove that the only ivory traded is from legally authorized stockpiles.
Born Free, for its part, has started an online campaign at bloodyivory.org to build public pressure against China.
As for the latest seizure, Malaysian officials did not make any arrests but are investigating a local trading company involved with the shipment. It could face fines and any individuals found guilty of knowingly trading in the tusks could get up to five years in prison, customs officials said.

- Density fingerprint of giant vortices in Fermi gases near a Feshbach resonance
- Author(s)
- Hu, Hui; Liu, Xia-Ji
- Abstract
- The structure of multiply quantized or giant vortex states in atomic Fermi gases across a Feshbach resonance is studied within the context of self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory. The particle density profile of vortices with K > 1 flux quanta is calculated. Owing to K discrete branches of vortex-core bound states, inside the core the density oscillates as a function of the distance from the vortex line and displays a nonmonotoic dependence on the interaction strengths, in marked contrast to the singly quantized case, in which the density depletes monotonically. This feature can make a direct visualization of the giant vortices in atomic Fermi gases.

Sharing with Shapiro
Nevermind all that pre-NLCS/ALCS buzz dancing around the internets and such as, the Iraq! Soon we will all have more than our wanted fill of Joe Buck self-righteous proclamations and ear-numbing Chip Carary-isms. For now, let us focus on the larger, more looming and lurid task of finding the Cleveland Indians a new manager. Shall we?
Yep. John Farrell is no longer in the mix. They can't afford Bobby Valentine. And unfortunately, dear readers, Lou Brown has gone back to selling tires… forever.
That's why I, along with the fastidious help of our always reliable RSBS interns, have prepared a list of potential managerial candidates for Indians GM Mark Shapiro, whom we all know is too busy lamenting the contract of one Travis "I Ain't Got It No More" Hafner and the cruel reality of a midge-less postseason.
Mark, here is the shortlist of suggested targets:
Bill Parcells
Sure, the Big Tuna ain't no baseball guy; we know that. But he was born to win (and eat… a lot). Besides, just think of what hiring this former Cowboy coach could do for the long neglected and oft polarized relationship between Cowboys and Indians. Mark, it is time to heal these wounds.
Chief Illiniwek
Since being shunned and axed by his University of Illinois home (where he was a staple presence for 81 years), the Great Chief doesn't really have much to do but stay in and get drunk all day. Hey, you can get drunk at the ballpark too, Chief! Plus, having such a standard bearer of Native American tradition might help the Indians solve that whole racist image thing they've had goin' on for… y'know… ever.
Nap LaJoie
Oh, wait. He's dead. Never mind.
Earl Averill
He's dead too? Sorry.
Lou Boudreau
Whoops. My bad. Okay. No more dead guys of French descent.
Well, then that leaves me with just one more super managerial candidate for Mr. Shapiro and that person is:
Sarah Palin
Look, if you're gonna build a bridge to nowhere, ya might as well build it on the Cuyahoga River.
Hate me 'cuz I'm on point, all the time, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
23 Comments
Hmm…Sarah Palin, Manager. That would make her a polymorphic M!LF in my book.
Your right Jeff, Bill Parcells is mean to win. You totally shoulda added Albert Belle to the list. Oh.. Albert. Such a douc… idiot. : ) Sarah Palin has the desire for the Cuyohoga Jeff, she is a shoe in candidate.
Chief Powhatan or Pocahontas… actually, Pocahontas might do a fabulous job at managing the Indians. She and Sarah Palin can battle it out.
Jonestein — Ain't nothin' wrong with THAT, playuh!
Ted — Albert Belle. Ha. That'd be a neverending gag reel for sure.
Elizabeth — Sarah Palin IS Pocahontas. You didn't know? Hehe.
Oh.. gotta love the Cowboys and Indians part. Classic and very clever. You're the man.
Why not get Shaq?
He will be in the neighborhood at the Arena right next door to Progressive Field for a while, and maybe could use some eatra change why the family finds a place in the foothills with a lakeside view.
And since Albert Belle is not into wanting to be an Indians manager, why not look into maybe briniging back Mike Hargrove who has whispered to a few people he might want to manage again.
Hargrove brings a winning tradition with him, and a bit of hardnosed toughness that might be needed for a few years until the prospect get some dirt on their uniforms.
Just a thought, but he is the closest I could come up to a "Lou Brown" clone who might want to take on the duties of this young team.
You can always get Iron Chef Michael Symon to leave one of his three restaurants in town, at least you will know the team will eat well before and after the game.
Rays Renegade
Took me long enough to come back Jeff. : ) R/R haha!! You always make me laugh Cliff. Shaq would be the perfect coach. He would be able to really whip the players into shape and could teach some of the players how to shoot foul shots… wait… nevermind about that.
New post up.
Albert Belle Flameathon Part II. You will like it my friend. : )
Buz — Thanks. That's how this whole piece began. "How to make a Cowboys/Indians reference…" haha.
RR — Judging by Travis Hafner's build, the team already eats pretty well. Haha. Good points though. I'd take Shaq. He'll sell tickets!
Ted — Sweet. Roast that Belle, Ted. I liked the last one fo sho.
I like Renegade's idea of Mike Hargrove. He's not as amusing as Sarah Palin, but he might actually win a few ball games.
Jane — You or I could probably win a few ballgames at the helm of the Indians. I think they're goin' for somethin' more than just a stand-in… and let's face it, that's all Hargrove would ever be in my humble (and correct) opinion.
You left out Shapiro's brother-in-law——Eric Mangini. He couldn't do much worse with the Indians than he is with the Browns. Much like with Trey Hillman, I had a crushing bro-mance with Mangini. It's gone down the tubes as well.
Palin can't manage her way out of a paper bag…so ok, I guess that works. :O)
Prince — Poor Trey and poor Mangini. They know not what they've lost now that the bro-mance is gone. Mangini I get. Hillman? Not so much.
Jenn — True… which is why I wonder why she is (or ever was) relevant. What did/do people see in this woman?
Those are all great candidates, but this is obviously a job for the most beloved Indian in all of Cleveland history: Jose Mesa.
Erin, I think you mean Joe Table. Tee hee.
William — Joe Table is the man. Nice to see ya back!
Michael — We try🙂
You tryin' to get a rise outta me, 09indians? It's working. The day Albert leaves the Lou is the day there is no hope left for baseball. In other words, it ain't happenin'.
Bobby V is one of the Finalist. Can the Indians afford him, who knows? Go Tribe!
What happens when Albert leaves for Boston, NY or LA in another year or two? Looks like Matt Halladay want's to go to NY. Tony's contract is up this season… Who is the Cards manager?
Are you trying to get a rise out of me, 09indians? If so, then yeah, it's working. Believe me: Albert ain't goin' anywhere. You heard it here first.

Euroclear and Clearstream collateral pact hits the rocks
A landmark deal between Europe's two largest settlement houses to improve collateral and funding flows has broken down less than a year after first being brokered, Financial News has learned.
In July 2013, the two largest international central securities depositories Euroclear and Clearstream agreed to enhance an existing collateral pooling link by the end of 2015, in a deal brokered by trade body the ICMA European Repo Council.
The deal was intended to allow participants in the market for repurchase agreements – where banks swap assets for cash to secure short-term funding needs – easier and faster access to collateral.
However, it emerged during a European Central Bank meeting in June that the two parties would not be ready to proceed by the 2015 deadline, according to people familiar with the talks and documents seen by Financial News.
Godfried De Vidts, chairman of the ICMA European Repo Council, described the breakdown as "terrible".
Saheed Awan, head of collateral management and securities finance at Euroclear, said the CSD remained in support of "a harmonised, single European market". However, he added that following a series of workshops since last July, it was decided that any interoperability pact with Clearstream in the tri-party repo market would not likely be ready in time.
According to documents, preparations for the migration to T2S – an impending ECB initiative to harmonise Europe's settlement platforms – delayed the collateral project; a point acknowledged by both Euroclear's Awan and Clearstream.
A spokeswoman for Clearstream added that it was continuing to work "aggressively" with the council and Euroclear to make "significant improvements" on the existing link.
However, De Vidts said: "The whole market is held to ransom because those two parties are unwilling to work together efficiently."
Europe currently operates a fragmented market with a number of central securities depositories, or CSDs, holding assets on behalf of banks in the repo markets. This differs from the US, where the DTCC operates as the main depository.
Groups like Euroclear and Clearstream have been working to address the issue via a process known as 'interoperability', whereby links are created that allow banks using different CSDs to move assets around faster. The Euroclear and Clearstream agreement was intended to speed up an existing link, or bridge, that had been in place since 1993 to help mobilise collateral.
The need to have easier access to collateral has grown in importance against a wave of new regulations for the over-the-counter derivatives markets, which mandate the use of collateral to back up swaps trades for the first time.
Firms will now have to post high-quality assets, such as government bonds, when first entering into a swap trade, as well as potentially posting further collateral depending on the mark-to-market value of a position.

Kochi, a major city in the Southern Indian state of Kerala is an attractive city with serene backwaters, lagoons overhung with swaying coconut palms and picturesque islands. A center of Kerala's maritime trade for centuries, it's a fine natural harbour created by the famed underwater Malabar mud-banks. Kochi consists of mainland Ernakulam, the islands of wellington, Bolgatty and Gundu in the harbour, Fort Cochin and Mattanchery on the southern peninsula, and Vypeen Island north of Fort Cochin, all linked by ferry. A must see destination recommended by National Geographic.
Along the harbor, the heart of the city, rows of antediluvian Chinese fishing nets indicate years of strong trade links with China. The unique buildings along the water's edge testify to the erstwhile presence of Dutch and Portuguese colonisers.
The influence of Chinese, Jews, Arabs and Europeans is evident in Kochi and provides a fascinating mix of cultures for every visitor.

Up until recently there was just one model in the Olympus OM-D lineup, with that being the OM-D E-M5. The number 5 in its product name suggested that their could one day be another variation and the recent arrival of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 slots in above the OM-D E-M5 as Olympus's flagship mirrorless model. Designed to be smaller and more compact than a DSLR, the E-M1 is out to target photographers who don't necessarily want the bulk of a cumbersome camera. To give you a better understanding of the key differences between these two cameras and to help you make your decision on which is best for you, we've picked out the key differences.
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 was launched in February 2012 and at the time of its announcement cost £999 (body only). Since the time of its release, the camera began to drop below £900 in August 2012 and has continued to gradually fall in price ever since.
At the time of writing (13/09/13), the cheapest price we could find for a black OM-D E-M5 was £769 from Amazon. Partnered with the 12-50mm kit lens, this was a combination that originally cost £1149 back in February 2013, but has since dropped to £904 – again with the most competitive prices being found on Amazon.
In comparison, the OM-D E-M1 was announced on the 10th September 2013 with a launch price of £1299 body only. Using the launch of the new OM-D as a good opportunity to release a new kit lens, Olympus also announced the M.Zuiko Digital 12-40mm 1:2.8 lens. Added to the price of the OM-D E-M1, it takes the cost up to just shy of £2000, or £1949 to be precise. The price difference between the OM-D E-M5's body and the OM-D E-M1's body was £530 on the 13/09/13. To find out what extras you get for you money, check out the next few pages where we disclose the technical differences.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
One of the key differences between the OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1 are the sensors found inside. Whereas the Olympus OM-D E-M5 features a 16.1MP Live MOS sensor, the OM-D E-M1 uses an all-new 16.3MP Live MOS sensor that incorporates a New Dual Fast AF system with Phase Detection pixels on the sensor. The key point to pick out here are those newly added Phase-detection pixels that are aimed at delivering a faster AF performance to Olympus E-system users who may want to attach their lenses to the E-M1 using a specially developed E-system adapter – the MMF-3.
The MMF-3 adapter allows existing Olympus E-system users to attach and use their lenses.
So what about the sensitivity range? Well, the E-M1 doesn't break any new territory in this area with the same ISO 200-25,600 span as the E-M5. What's interesting to note here however is that the manufacturer claims the new 16MP chip can produce less noise than APS-C sized sensors – something we aim to find out when we subject the Olympus OM-D E-M1 to a full review in the forthcoming weeks.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 features a new Dual Fast AF system.
Getting back to those on-chip Phase Detection pixels, the E-M1 is capable of acknowledging whether a Four Thirds or Micro Four Thirds lens is attached before automatically switching to the more suitable AF technology. While Phase-detect is used in combination with Four Thirds lenses, contrast detect AF is relied on for use with Micro Four Thirds lenses. Just to make it clear, the OM-D E-M1 features the same Micro Four Thirds mount like that of the E-M5, its now just appealing to a wider Olympus audience.
In all there are 81 focus area points on the E-M1 compared to 35 on the E-M5, with both cameras fully supporting single AF, continuous AF, single AF+MF, AF tracking and manual focus.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
Rather than using the E-M5's TruePic VI image engine, the E-M1 benefits from a refreshed TruePic VII processor that gives it a speed advantage. Whereas the E-M5 is capable of shooting full resolution images at up to 9fps, the E-M1 goes one better – quite literally. A continuous burst of 10fps puts it right up there as one of the fastest mirrorless cameras on the market and gives it a significant advantage over some DSLRs that struggle to beat the 6fps barrier with their more complex internal mechanisms.
Note the mode dial to the left of the EVF on the OM-D E-M5.
In regard to shutter speed, the OM-D E-M1 matches the maximum permitted speed offered by most DSLRs. Capable of shooting at up to 1/8000sec, this is an improvement on the OM-D E-M5's 1/4000sec limit. At the opposite end of the shutter speed scale, both OM-D's shoot as slow as 60secs, with the shutter speed adjustable in 1/3, 1/2. or 1 EV steps.
The OM-D E-M1 has a busy top plate design with direct access to continuous shooting, self timer, HDR, AF and metering modes from the buttons to the left of the EVF.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
There's a 70g weight difference between the two with the newer OM-D E-M1 being the heavier option. Body only, the E-M1 weighs 443g as opposed to 497g when a battery and memory card are inserted. This compares to the E-M5's weight of 425g with a battery and card slotted in.
From this rear 3/4 view, the E-M5 (above) looks similar to the E-M1 (below).
In terms of its dimensions, the E-M5's body measures 121.0×22.214.171.124mm excluding protrusions. Compare this to the 130.4×93.5×63.1mm dimensions of the E-M1 and the E-M5 is the lighter camera, however the feel and hold of the E-M1 is superior thanks to its well profiled handgrip that features a much improved rubberized finish. Olympus has continued the OM-D tradition by making sure the E-M1 features a full set of weather seals. As well as being weatherproof and dustproof, the E-M1 is claimed to operate between a -10 – 40°C temperature range – an improvement on the OM-D E-M5's 0 – 40°C temperature range.
The E-M1 has a tilting screen like the E-M5, albeit a higher resolution display.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
Two of the key areas where these OM-D's have differences are in the resolution of their screens and electronic viewfinders. Whereas the E-M1's display isn't any different to the E-M5's in terms of its size or aspect (it's still a tiltable 3in, 3:2 touchscreen monitor), it now has an improved 1.03million dot resolution as opposed to a 610k-dot display on the E-M5. As well as not only providing a sharper image in Live View, photographs can be viewed more clearly in playback mode. Adding to this, the OM-D E-M1 appears to have lost the green cast with which the OM-D E-M5's screen was known for.
The E-M5's electronic viewfinder has a resolution of 1.44k dot.
The resolution increase extends to the E-M1's electronic viewfinder, where a 2.360k dot EVF replaces the E-M5's 1.44k dot EVF. Whereas the E-M5's viewfinder only offered a 1.15x magnification, the E-M1's has an improved 1.48x magnification that contributes to it appearing larger and brighter than before. Both EVF's offer brightness and temperature adjustment in +/- 7 levels.
The E-M1's electronic viewfinder has a resolution of 2.36k dot.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
Unlike the E-M5, the E-M1 now features Wi-fi built-in to make it more convenient to use. Casting our mind back to when we reviewed the E-M5, it had to be used with the Olympus PENPAL PP-1 communicator (£80) to transmit images wirelessly to smart phones. This not only turned out to be an inconvenience for the way it added to the cost, it prevent the use of external flashguns being attached at the same time.
To send images to a smartphone on the OM-D E-M5 the PENPAL PP-1 (£80) is required.
The E-M1 also permits the use of a smartphone to remotely control the camera. It's possible to mirror the Live View LCD on your phone's touch screen, then focus and release the shutter remotely via Wi-fi. Even the unique Live Bulb effect can be previewed on smartphones, with Live Bulb updating the Live View image at pre-set intervals during bulb exposures.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 features built-in Wi-fi – an improvement on the OM-D E-M5.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
To say the Olympus OM-D E-M1 feels different in the hand compared to the OM-D E-M5 is an understatement. The larger handgrip contributes to it feeling more like an important camera for serious photographers, and is more comfortable to hold over long durations than the OM-D E-M5.
Some buttons at the rear of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 are on the small side. The playback button is also slightly awkward to operate at the top right of the screen.
Buttons are larger making them easier to access and use than the E-M5's. Button placement is also completely re-worked and rather than the mode dial being positioned to the left of the viewfinder, it's now on the right where it can be controlled more conveniently by use of the thumb. A locking mechanism has been added to the mode dial to prevent it being inadvertently knocked or changed as the camera is transported.
The Olympus OM-D E-M1 features a more intuative layout and buttons are larger too.
Much like the E-M5, Olympus has produced an additional handgrip for the E-M1 to enhance stability. Whereas the E-M5 is compatible with the Olympus HLD-6 battery grip (£219), a new detachable HLD-7 grip has been made for the E-M1, which is dust, splash and freeze-proof to match the rugged build of the body. In addition to providing 2 control dials and two function buttons, the new HLD-7 extends shooting time by being able to store an additional battery inside, while offering an additional shutter button. The HLD-7 costs £189.
Differences between the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and OM-D E-M1
In summary, the OM-D E-M1 has advanced on the OM-D E-M5 in a number of key areas. It feels the more refined camera of the two as it should with a price tag that makes it one of the most expensive CSCs we've seen from the manufacturer. The clear advantages the E-M1 offers over the E-M5 are its compatibility with Olympus E-system lenses, Dual Fast AF system, high-resolution screen, improved electronic viewfinder, 5-axis image stabilisation and Wi-fi integration. This does come at a price, but for those who's budget the E-M1 exceeds, the E-M5 remains a great stills camera that's capable of delivering excellent image quality from its 16MP sensor.

So Peyton has a lil white outline on her top L. front tooth and when we saw the Dental Hygenist today she said it was De-calcifiaction due to BF and especially cause She still hasn't night weaned and is nursing often at night. The Hygenist recommended that I stop BF when I said I plan on having Peyton Self wean she said I at least Had to Night wean and asked If I was Co-sleeping. WHen I said yes she just looked at me and said I shouldn't do that and "documented it" in her chart. The whole visit made me feel really awkward and like I failed Peyton cause this is the start of a Cavity. SHe also gave me **** cause I said we don't use flouirde toothpaste and don't plan on it. NOt a good visit and now I don't know how to fix the de-calcification. Any one else out there been through this? any recommendations?
The hygenist also tried to tell me she wanted to put flouride on her teeth to help her body replenish the teh lost flouride as far as i know flouride is not naturally found in your body.
SHe doesn't usually get any sugary or processed foods, if she does get a lil juice it's maybe an ounze at a time and it is in a cup. We brush her teeth in the morning and at night she even lets me "floss" her teeth( mostly cause she see's me doing it). We use a non- flouride toothpaste. SHe does still nurse a lot at night and I don't offer her the boob and unless she asks for it. We've tried NIght weaning and honestly she is incredibly stubborn and just cries and cries and cries even if Im cuddling her she just wants boob.
I'm just lost... I really don't want her to have dental issues and I don't want to use Flouride... there has to be other things I can do that will help.

MetroPCS is confirming its plans to launch an LTE-based voice service in the third quarter after pushing out its debut earlier this year.
"During third quarter, we plan to introduce the first VoLTE handset," CEO Roger Linquist said during the company's earnings call today.
The company had originally planned to launch VoLTE in the first quarter, but later said it would be delayed until the second half of the year. Comments from MetroPCS executives today indicate the service is now on track for launch this quarter.
MetroPCS upcoming phone will be the first in the U.S. market to feature VoLTE. Other operators including AT&T and Verizon Wireless also plan to move to VoLTE, but their deployments are expected to come much later than MetroPCS.
Moving to VoLTE is critical for the spectrum-strapped prepaid operator, as it will allow spectrum currently being used to support legacy voice services to be repurposed for its LTE network.
The next-generation mobile broadband service is expected to allow it to compete more effectively against companies like Cricket Communications and Sprint prepaid brands Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile USA.
"By the end of the year, most of our markets will be LTE-ready with 5x5 spectrum," Linquist said.
But MetroPCS' efforts to move customers off its legacy network onto LTE have been stymied both by the lack of voice capabilities but also by a dearth of affordable LTE smartphones for its cost-conscious subscriber base.
The company may make some progress on that front in late August, when COO Tom Keys said it expects to begin selling cheaper LTE handsets priced at $99 and $149. More LTE smartphones at other price points will come later this year, he said. The device launches will coincide with MetroPCS' kickoff of its "LTE for All" campaign in the third quarter.
Linquist said that MetroPCS is also focused on developing Rich Communications Suite voice and data services this year to build on its VoLTE capabilities and to help MetroPCS "differentiate itself from other MVNO's and other service providers" by giving its prepaid customers access to postpaid-style services.
"We're aiming to be the best deal in town" for LTE," Linquist said.
MetroPCS' closed the second quarter with more than 700,000 LTE subscribers comprising about 8 percent of its customer base. Overall, it lost 186,000 net customers last quarter.
Churn fell 50 basis points year-over-year to 3.4 percent, while ARPU increased slightly to $40.62.
Profits jumped 77 percent to $149 million on sales of $1.6 billion. The number sent MetroPCS' stock soaring in morning trading, and it climbed nearly 35 percent to $8.46 by 11:30 a.m. Eastern.
