Expiration Date:?Jun 2019Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Since I increased my intake of Tryptophan to two caps at night, I've been feeling noticeably better and more energetic during the day!
After struggling for years with insomnia, I can't believe how well I sleep when I take this along with Melatonin. Now, I did read that Niacin and B-6 help the body assimilate the tryptophan, so I've been also taking one capsule of "True Calm". However, recently, I found that iHerb also carries this brand of tryptophan with the niacin and B-6 already included, so I am planning to try that.
Like night and day

Very calming, there are no unpleasant side effects. For now I am very happy although I use it only 3 weeks ...
Works Very Well

I have tried many different brands of L-Tryptophan over the years but this one has stuck with me. I have several things going on which really inhibit my ability to relax or sleep. I begin taking these an hour or two before actually going to bed. I usually take one and then another about an hour later along with other things - sometimes Valerian (liquid) and sometimes 5htp. Within about fifteen or twenty minutes of going to bed, I can actually fall asleep. Such relief!

- Title
- The influence of ion energy on the nitriding behaviour of austenitic stainless steel
- Author(s)
- Leigh, S.; Samandi, M.; Collins, G. A.; Short, K. T.; Martin, P.; Wielunski, L.
- Abstract
- Recent work on austenitic stainless steels has indicated that low energy, high current density nitrogen implantation can result in nitrided layers several micrometers in depth and of considerable hardness. This work was initiated to examine the effects of ion energy during ion implantation at elevated temperatures. Three nitriding methods were considered: plasma immersion ion implantation (PI3), radio frequency (r.f.) plasma nitriding and ion beam nitriding. The structure and nitrogen profile of austenitic stainless steel were examined after the different treatments by a range of analytical techniques including glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXD), ultra microhardness indentations (UMIS), glow discharge optical spectroscopy (GDOS) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA). It was found that similar surface structures can be formed by PI3 treatments at high energies and ion beam nitriding at low energies. The resultant microstructures, as determined by GAXD, consist primarily of an expanded austenite layer. It appears that the adherent oxide film present on stainless steel must be either removed by sputtering, at low ion energies, or passed through by implantation, at high energies. Subsequent diffusion at elevated temperatures allows the formation of a nitrided layer several micrometers thick in both cases.

The Norristown High Speed Line runs roughly parallel to the R5, the SEPTA regional rail route that gave rise to the area's classification as "The Main Line." As the story has been told to me, the High Speed Line was the primary carrier of the people from working class neighborhoods who would commute out to Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Gladwyne to cook, clean, and chauffer for the denizens of the many Main Line mansions that dot the landscape, while
the masters of the house would take the Main Line into the Center City headquarters of the Pennsylvania Railroad or the Pennsylvania Savings Fund Society (fondly known as PSFS before being acquired by Mellon which then was bought by Citizens) . John Andries, the Head of Special Collections at Magill, recently curated an exhibit of documents from Haverford's collection that illuminated the economic, political, and social histories that shaped the development of the region, as manifest in designs for transportation.
The image on the poster shows a now-vanished section of track on what is now known as Railroad Avenue: the Didot type, as well as the neatly demarcated lots remind me of the Sunday funnies pages from the turn of the last century, a formal framework that is on my mind as I've been working with Ken Koltun-Fromm, a professor in the Religion department, on plans for a fall writing seminar that will be focused on graphic narratives. On Monday, I hopped the High Speed Line at the Ardmore Junction (the trip costs roughly half of the R5 fare, and the demographic skews younger and browner than the R5 clientele) to connect to the Market/Frankford line to get to 30th Street Station, where I met Ken and Tom Bonner, the Coordinator for the Mellon Tri-College Creative Residencies, to take the Northeast Regional up to New York City to meet with Pato Hebert, who is teaching and making art at the Tisch School's Program in Art and Public Policy at NYU.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Pato on a course entitled "Arts of the Possible" thanks to the support of Haverford's Tuttle Fund for the Visual Arts. In the course, we focused on the ways in which creative forms such as the spiritual, the elegy, and the documentary were recast and rearticulated in movements such as West Virginia miners' strikes in the 1930s and the Freedom Rides of the 1960s. Over the course of the semester, Pato worked with students in their imagination and refining of their semester-long projects, which took the shape of podcasts documenting censorship in Malaysia and prison rights activists in West Chester, a photographic installation that illustrated students' takes on the state of feminism, and, in one case, a ravaged box of chocolates that gave a statistical overview of the (mis)distribution of federal funds in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
At the time of that collaboration, Pato was overseeing educational initiatives at the AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA), where he was editing an extraordinary arts journal for APLA entitled Corpus — a context in which writers and artists explored the negotiation of risk through first-person accounts, critical essays, documentations of performance pieces, poetry, and, yes, comics.
One of the projects that Pato shepherded during his time at APLA, in collaboration with the Gay Men's Health Crisis, was the publication of Jaime Cortez' Sexile, a graphic narrative that conveys the voice, experiences, and general fabulousness of Adela Vasquez, a trans Cuban exile whose first years in the United States coincided with the onset of the AIDS crisis; more recently, he's been exploring the generative tension between image and text in projects such as an ongoing collaboration with Plasencia Elementary School in Los Angeles that is sponsored by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) that recently generated pieces such as "A Passing Thought," an installation in a stairwell in the school: the thought bubble, iconography familiar to anyone who knows the vernacular of comic strips forms, is cut from a dark blue vinyl sheet that is affixed to the windows; as one ascends or descends the stairs, the image framed by the thought bubble shifts.
In another Plasencia project, Pato created a process in which students responded to a writing prompt: of 1,000 responses, 400 were selected and printed on vinyl strips that were affixed to the fronts and backs of folding chairs used for assemblies, so that each time the chairs are unfolded and arranged, they create impromptu poems out of phrases such as "I need a favor" and "yesterday was one day ago" and even "I am confused by these questions."
As Tom, Ken, Pato, I and I sat knee to knee in Pato's office floating six floors above Broadway, we traded ideas about the ways in which our course's focus on autobiography through the form of the graphic narrative could be a point of orientation and a point of departure for creative interventions on campus as well as for class assignments. Pato spoke about the ease with which students can learn the program Comic Life to create their own comics: wondering how this could be a medium in which students might frame their responses to the prompt "a moment at which my world turned upside down" or to reflect on a point at which their vision of the world shifted.
As we were thinking out loud about different ways in which students could think openly and actively about the ways in which the forms and frames of comics can be understood in relationship to architectural spaces — part of an ongoing conversation about the ways in which we articulate, animate, and document our lives and the life of a community – Ken noted that Ryan Gym is a space on campus that is a site of extraordinary possibility/ongoing consternation, depending on how one looks at it (see Robert Homan's take on Ryan Gym as "the last of our wild spaces" on campus: http://haverfordclerk.com/2012/04/where-the-wild-things-are/) which opened up a lively conversation about all the different ways in which that space could be animated.
I, for one, would love to see a project in which members of the campus community would be invited to do installations in the gym lockers in the crypts underneath Ryan Gym — thinking of the vernacular of middle school gym locker decoration, of Dia de los Muertos altars, and of shoe box dioramas as ways of marking memory and of mapping culture. To be continued…..

McHenry County educators do all they can to prepare your child for the skills they will need to be successful adults, but it's not exclusively up to the teachers to educate your child.
Every day, math skills need regular reinforcement in your child's world.
The fundamentals of math – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division – are the foundation for the more complex math concepts to come. If a student does not master these – and when I say master, I mean can answer 7 multiplied by 8 in fewer than 10 seconds – he/she is destined to find math difficult and fall behind. Fractions, geometry and more cannot be grasped without a strong knowledge of basic math facts.
Being your child's educator is not hard and can be integrated into everyday life. There are always the math drill sheets your child brings home from school. Putting a chart on the refrigerator where he/she enters the time it takes each day to complete a sheet is a good motivator. The focus is on your student doing their personal best.
There are more fun, family friendly ways. In a shoebox, put a deck of cards, two or more die, flash cards you can make yourself with index cards and an egg timer. This is the family math competition box. One game: Deal two cards and time how long it takes for your child to add them, or subtract the larger number from the smaller, or multiply. Second game: Roll two, three or four die at a time and see who can be the first to add them correctly. Family members can compete to add, subtract or multiply the numbers on a flash card. One of the ultimate family games that incorporates math is Monopoly, and there is a card game called "24" one can order online or find at learning stores.
In the real world, nearly everything involves math. The grocery store is a plethora of math teaching opportunities.
"Susie, the macaroni and cheese is 99 cents per box, and we need to buy four boxes. How much will that total?" Susie might try solving the problem the hard way, adding each 99, or she might round up to $1.00 and add four times, then subtract four cents, or she might multiply $1.00 by four then subtract four cents. However she does it is great. If the answer isn't correct, then you can take this moment to explain the different ways to figure it out. If she gets it right, ask her how she calculated it and whether she can think of any other ways to do it.
Play games with money. The American monetary system is more difficult than in other countries because it has denominations that are not just based on tens. Nickels, quarters and two and five dollar bills are examples of this. The household change box or jar – we all have one – can be used to help your child understand how to calculate money. Ask your child to total specified amounts with the change. Show them there are many ways to come up with the same total. For example, 50 cents can be two quarters, five dimes, three dimes and four nickels, and on and on.
Making change. It is amazing how many young people and adults have difficulty calculating the change they should get back after a purchasing transaction. Even adults in commerce rely on their cash registers or calculators. So how can anyone be sure they get the correct change back? Practice with your child. If I pay $20 and the groceries cost $16.50, how much change should we get back?
Cooking and baking provide a perfect opportunity to learn units of measurement. Have them follow a recipe where they measure out teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, quarts, half-gallons. Making cookies requires all of these measurements. Ask why soda comes in liters and milk in gallons. Some containers are labeled in both systems.
Something simple such as measuring your children's height is an opportunity to discuss the number of inches in a foot and feet in a yard. Flip the measuring tool and measure in metrics. Ask your child which measurement is better and why. Which one they choose doesn't matter. What matters is that they are thinking about it. You are creating the important skill of inquiry in your child.
Children who can calculate math equations from many different angles will grow up to be the problem solvers of the future.
• Leslie Schermerhorn is regional superintendent of McHenry County schools.

The Next Target
How far will the Yankees go this offseason? It's pretty much baseball fact that Cliff Lee will be hanging out in the Bronx six months from now. I can accept that. But do the Yankees really have what it takes to embrace their true nature, that of the Evil Empire? If so, I have something for your consideration:
What is this, you ask? Well, this is 10-Barrel T-Shirt Cannon which can fire up to three t-shirts per second. More importantly, it belongs to Bellarmine College Preparatory. So, how about it, Steinbrenner. Isn't it time you took this thing to the next level and started taking from schools? After all, those single shot t-shirt guns just aren't cutting it anymore.
2 Comments
I'm not so sure Lee will be a Yankee. I think the Rangers will go after him hard and maybe a couple of other teams too. Plus, he really might not want to come to NY, despite his friendship with CC.
There is a Twitter listing for Gameops, which is the place to find all kinds of great promotional weapons and methods online.
Benn watching their Tweets for a year tosee all the great promotional items and big ticket items you can buy for your ballpark.
Still a fan of the old fashion throw it up by hand methos, but that is so 1999.

Several Fox Valley school districts testing teacher evaluations tied to student performance said they are pleased with the results.
The Winneconne, Neenah, Ripon and Green Lake school districts are among those testing evaluation procedures developed by the Cooperative Educational Service Agency No. 6.
The districts are acting before the state requires all schools to adopt evaluations tied to student performance in 2014.
Winneconne Community School District Administrator Peggy Larson told Oshkosh Northwestern Media that teachers were anxious about the evaluations at first but now she thinks they would say it was a good learning experience.
Green Lake School District Administrator Ken Bates said the process gives teachers more involvement because they participate in setting their own goals. The evaluations then look at how teachers are meeting those goals

Norman's antivirus program reports that one of my files is infected by a malicious program. However, I suspect that the file is clean, and that this is a false virus alarm. What do I do?
It is inevitable that any antivirus vendor sometimes defines a perfectly innocent program component (file) as a malicious program. The complexity of malicious software and correspondingly the antivirus programs, as well as the vast number of malware that is processed each day unfortunately have such consequences. Even though the antivirus vendors of course make their utmost to avoid so-called "false positives".

I am lucky, I guess, to be a part of one of those "breastfeeding couples" so DH has always been supportive of bf from day one...and has encouraged me to continue as long as dd and I desire. I'd like to think that Daddies should always be a part of the discussion but I realize they're not all "liberated men" like my DH.
But getting to your question about "time away"...we took a 3-day weekend away when DD was 9 months old and I was still breastfeeding pretty steadily so I pumped and dumped while away (there was no way to store the milk) and had frozen milk stored at home for granny to use. Now that she is over a year, DD nurses about 3 times a day and has no interest in a bottle (ebm or cow's milk) so I don't pump at work or leave milk for the sitter, but she does nurse AM and PM (and usually when I come home from work). Sometimes I have to travel for work and will pump to relieve the pressure while I'm away, but she really doesn't seem interested in breastmilk unless it's coming straight from mama anymore. She still is able to go to sleep with daddy (or the sitter) and seems to be ok.

Bees and BeesGal Raise Money for Cedar Rapids
The Salt Lake Deseret News reports that "The Bees will donate 50 cents from each ticket sold to today's game to aid Iowans affected by the recent floods. Minor league teams located in cities devastated by flooding include the Burlington Bees, Cedar Rapids Kernels, Iowa Cubs and Quad City River Bandits."
Not to be outdone, BeesGal of The Sporksball Journal sent out this announcement:
The Sporkball Journals pledges $25 for every run scored by the Salt Lake Bees in Sunday's fundraiser game for the Iowa Flood Relief Fund. For example, should the Bees score 8 runs, the total donation will be $100. 20 runs (like Tuesday) puts $500 into the relief fund.
Furthermore, The Sporkball Journals challenges any and all citizens, orgs and corporations to match this pledge, dollar for dollar. As most of you know, I'm just a one-woman shop based out of my home. If this matching challenge could be announced at the ballpark and on the radio, perhaps my tiny seed money can be the catalyst for a larger wave of financial support from our community as a whole.
Lastly, all of you are aware of how our fellow Minor-League Angels fans, families and friends in the Midwest truly need our help. Nonetheless, it is certainly worth repeating that in Cedar Rapids alone — home of the Angels Single-A Affiliate Cedar Rapids Kernels — damages caused by the floods is estimated at over $1.3 billion dollars, and rising.
Meanwhile, still no indication of any announcement from the Angels that they'll help Cedar Rapids …
1 Comment
Salt Lake Bees GM Marc Amicone sent me an email thanking me for my pledge. He also said to expect the invoice a few days after the game, in which they hoped to score 100 runs! ; -)
Game Update: Please note this is an UNOFFICIAL count. The Salt Lake Bees will issue an official press release later this week.
Ah, well, aside from the typo (8 runs x $25 =$200), the game started out promisingly enough with the Bees scoring 4 runs in the first half of the game. Unfortunately, they couldn't plate another run after the 5th inning and Sacramento racked up 9 runs to take the win. The Bees had 13 hits and left 8 men on base. Ugh!
The paid attendance for Sunday's game was 3,627 hardy fans who braved the 94-deg heat and sun. At 50-cents/ticket, that translates into roughly $1,800 for the MiLB.com flood relief fund. Tony Parks, the Bees on-field promotions announcer, was kind enough to mention The Sporkball Journals pledge challenge to the crowd in the 8th inning. Thanks again to everyone for your support!

Friendly's Empire landmark stands the test of time
At Joe's Friendly Tavern in Empire, meals are served all day, the burgers are fresh, and yes, it's always friendly.
The Empire bar and grill has been in business since 1945. Frank and Mary Lerchen bought it in 2006, and they are only the fourth owners. "Mike Wiesen owned it, and before that it was the Meads and the Deerings," said Frank following a morning breakfast rush. Lerchen came to the restaurant with a lifetime's work in the industry. It all began with Donkey Kong.
"I would go to Pizza Plus in Traverse City to play Donkey Kong," said Lerchen. One day the owner said to Lerchen, "Think you can handle a broom?" "From 13 to 17 I worked there," said Lerchen. Then it was on to the Flap Jack Shack, where Lerchen first began to find his way around the kitchen. "I wanted to learn to cook."
After a couple years there, Lerchen heard about a new restaurant opening up on West Bay Shore Drive on the way to Suttons Bay. He met with the owner and became the first hire for Phil Murray at Windows, the fine dining restaurant on the shore of West Bay.
From there it was on to Colorado, where Lerchen worked for a chef he said was "the meanest guy ever. But boy, could he cook." He gained experience in everything from salads to sauces, and brought that education back with him when he began working once again at Windows.
That's when Mike Wiesen, the owner of the Friendly and the Village Inn in Empire and Art's in Glen Arbor, asked Lerchen if he could also help him out in his expanded kitchen. Lerchen agreed, and after a stint working at both Windows and the Friendly, began working fulltime for Wiesen.
When Wiesen decided he'd spent enough time running a restaurant, the Lerchens purchased the Friendly and the Village Inn.
Lerchen says the Friendly's signature dish is the hamburger. Rather than dress it up with any abstruse flavorings or special sauce, Lerchen says it's the fact the meat is fresh-ground every day that makes it so special. "We use only grassfed steer," he said. He also says he's reluctant to change anything about it, as it's the same recipe that's been used for decades, down to the bun.
"Sometimes people harp on to change the bun at least," he said with a laugh, describing it as "just a cheap butter bun." But Lerchen says he's afraid of doing anything that would alienate loyalists.
"There was a guy who was sitting right here," he said, gesturing to a chair behind him. "He stood up and said in a loud voice he wanted to see the manager. I asked him how I could help him, and he wanted to shake my hand. He was a coal miner from West Virginia who said the burger we made was the closest thing he'd ever had to the kind his mother had made for him.
"For a week while he was on vacation he came in here every day."
Lerchen says despite that reputation, he knows some people might want something else, and he gives his wife credit for coming up with some of the other dishes that dot the menu or the nightly specials they run.
Such as the char-grilled lake trout with a buerre blanc butter and stone ground mustard sauce, with a root slaw made with shredded carrots, beets, turnips and parsnips with an olive oil and lime juice dressing. Lerchen says that dish may be the single best thing the restaurant serves.
Another of his favorites is walleye, which is lightly breaded in Panko bread crumbs, cornmeal, flour and salt and pepper, pan-fried and served with a pistachio butter.
"I try to only do freshwater fish – trout, whitefish, bluegill. We even did some sunfish last summer. Our Mexican food is really good too," said Lerchen.
Most of those specials are only served in the summer, when the Friendly is packed. How packed? The staff goes from 60 in the height of summer to eight in the off-season.
"We are so fortunate to have a group of people who care about the place," Lerchen said of the staff. "The rookie has been here 10 years."
DON'T MISS: The hamburger, of course. Fresh-ground every day, it's the signature dish for a reason.
COST: Burgers from $7; Salads from $10; Breakfast from $3-7.50

Perhaps, Apple iPhone 4S continues to have the arguably industry's best "retina" display along with well-tailored iOS operating system. Besides, it will be sold in quantities that will counted in tens of millions. However, the disappointment about the iPhone 4S among the Apple fans, developers, investors and simple market observers is a thing that is clearly hard to hide.
The main reason why Apple iPhone 4S fails to impress is extremely overhyped expectations by various Apple fan web-sites and market speculations. The rumoured iPhone 5 was expected to have a different form-factor with larger and wider, screen, slimmer yet wider case, 4G LTE, near-field communication, new processor and so on. Everything was expected to be fully functional and useful, despite of the fact that iOS 5, which has been available for preview for some time now, is still not fully baked even for current devices.
In fact, everyone expected a revolution. But the iPhone 4 was in many ways revolutionary and Apple both could not and did not really need to introduce a revolution this year.
Since the iPhone 4 in general brought a number of features to a brand new level, the magnitude of improvements in the 4S model clearly disappoints quite a lot of people. Instead, Apple concentrated on performance improvements: it installed dual-core A5 processor with a new PowerVR graphics engine which is times faster, improved data transfer speeds, lengthened battery life, installed a better camera and did some other minor things. In short, the iPhone 4S only brought quantitative, not qualitative improvements that could distinguish it from the predecessor. In many cases performance gains enable new quality of features, but it will hardly be the case for the iPhone 4S, at least, not quickly.
The most admired feature of the iPhone 4 is its 3.5" retina screen with 960*640 resolution. Many wanted to have higher diagonal and higher resolution while retaining or exceeding 326 pixel per inch density. In fact there are 4.5" screens with 1280*720 resolution designed for smartphones and which might not increase iPhone sizes too significantly should Apple use the latest technologies that allow to reduce frames of displays. Apparently, Apple decided that the current screen was good enough. The decision was most likely conditioned by the fact that the company wanted to launch its flagship model worldwide all around the world more or less immediately.
Since Apple left the "old" display on the iPhone 4S, despite of boosted graphics performance video games and other applications will look exactly the same way on the novelty. They will naturally perform a little bit better, but they will hardly take advantage of 4S's exclusive features like NEON SIMD acceleration since developers would like to maintain compatibility and great performance on the iPhone 4. Even though a dual-core system-on-chip with graphics capabilities that exceed those of video game consoles is a nice thing, it will not sell the smartphone by itself. At the same time, the model 4S does not support exclusive features that will attract third party software designers to develop 4S-specific programs.
The iPhone 4S may not a technological revolution, but it will inevitably be a successful product. Firstly, it will attract existing clients with expiring contracts for the iPhone 3G or 3GS. Secondly, it will revolutionize its sales model, throwing away the exclusive telecom provider partnership into the past and be available from all operators in its main markets: North America (AT&T, Sprint and Verizon) and Japan (KDDI, SoftBank and AU). Analysts from TrendForce believes that this strategy will strengthen and solidify iPhone product lines' market share in 2012. The observers also believe that the price cuts on the older iPhone models will also help Apple. With the iPhone 4 8GB and the iPhone 3GS both offered at an entry-level price of $99 (with contract), Apple's overall market share is likely to be boosted significantly.
It remains to be seen whether iPhone 5, which will be feature a 720p screen, new case and other improvements. It also remains to be seen whether it will truly be a revolutionary smartphone. What is likely, is that it will feature a better screen and a different operating system. Other features? Only god knows.

James Caird appoints duo to flagship fund
Hedge fund James Caird Asset Management has hired two former partners from a beleaguered London-based rival, a turnaround for the firm that has suffered five departures in the past two months alone.
Alireza Satrap and David Rule have joined James Caird to trade global macro on the firm's flagship $2.4bn (€1.9bn) JCAM Global Fund. The pair most recently worked at London Diversified Fund Management.
Satrap was formerly the global head of foreign exchange and interest rates at Commerzbank Securities before leaving to join London Diversified in 2005. He spent almost five years at th hedge fund and left in February. Rule joined London Diversified in 2005 and left in August.
Satrap declined to comment. Rule confirmed he had joined the firm and declined to comment further. James Caird confirmed the hires and declined to comment further.
The hires mark a reversal for James Caird, a spinout from Louis Bacon's Moore Capital, which has suffered five departures in the past two months.
The most high-profile of these was Iftikhar Ali, who Financial News reported left in April because he was unsatisfied with his remuneration, citing three people familiar with the situation. Last month he joined Millennium Capital Partners, the London office of US hedge fund firm Millennium Management, to trade European and Asia credit.
The other departures were Askin Aziz, head of high yield; Benjamin Bouillou, an equity trader; Gopi Karunakaran, a credit trader who worked with Ali; and Matt Coleman, the treasurer.
Employees at James Caird are paid on a discretionary basis rather than, like many hedge fund firms, on the basis of a percentage of their profit and losses.
The fund is led by Tim Leslie in London and Robert Miller in New York, who decide upon the pay structure of the rest of the team.
James Caird was spun out of Moore Capital in 2008 by Leslie, one of the best-known traders at the firm. Leslie took about 30 people with him for what was one of the largest launches of the year.
A person close to the firm said that the JCAM Global Fund fell 0.59% in May. The average hedge fund was down 2.26%, according to Chicago-based data provider Hedge Fund Research. JCAM returned 22% last year net of fees and is now soft-closed to new money.
Founded by former JP Morgan traders David Gorton and Rob Standing in 2002, at its peak, London Diversified was one of the UK's largest hedge funds, managing $5bn. However, due to a combination of redemptions and poor performance, the firm's assets had plummeted to $300m by the end of 2009.
The fund has also suffered a string of departures. Of the 19 non-founding members of the partnership who were present in September 2008, only six are left.
Inflows have resumed this year, however, and the firm's assets have grown to $500m. In April it hired former BlueCrest Capital Management marketer Beatriz Deza to help bring in new business and rebuild assets.

Just a couple questions :-)
1) Where do I get a car adapter for my Lansinoh pump? Is it just some kind of standard adapter that I can get at RadioShack or is it special?
2) Have any tips on how to cut down on the sound of the pump? Very uncomfortable still with pumping at work (my 2nd week) as I have a busy office, blinds that you can almost see through if you really look, and primarily male co-workers near me. Feels soooo loud.
3) Does pumping increase supply? I pump 5 minutes and yield 4 oz but it feels like my OS and OALD has gotten worse since going back to work.

Zias guard Heather Brown puts up a shot attempt against West Texas A&M's Alicia Saunders in the first half of Monday's Lone-Star Conference South game at Greyhound Arena. (Freedom Newspapers: Kevin Wilson)
By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
PORTALES — Already playing shorthanded much of this season, Eastern New Mexico University's women learned on Sunday they had lost another player.
The Zias entered Monday's Lone Star Conference South Division clash with West Texas A&M at Greyhound Arena minus Portales High grad and sophomore guard Erika Cook, who suffered a broken hand late in Saturday's 65-51 loss to Texas Woman's. She is the third starter and fourth key player lost for the season to injury.
Still, ENMU came up with a spirited effort against the 19th-ranked Lady Buffs, but in the end fell short in an 82-78 setback.
Knowing his squad's plight, Zias coach Dan Buzard challenged his players to play up against their rivals.
"I told them if they came out and gave everything they could, we'd give them (today) off," Buzard said.
He followed through on it, noting that the Zias (9-13, 1-7 South) had played three games in five nights and on Wednesday leave on a trip for division games at Texas A&M-Kingsville on Thursday and Texas Woman's on Saturday.
WT (18-3, 7-1) used runs of 12-0 and 8-0 to seemingly take control late in the half, but the Zias pared an 11-point deficit with the first five points after halftime and kept scrapping back.
Down by 16 points with nine minutes left after a 10-0 Lady Buffs run, the Zias clawed back to within 76-75 on Tiana Bryant's 3-pointer with 2:30 left. Junior guard Ashley Sutton had a chance to tie it with a 3 on the next trip, but missed it and the Zias never got closer.
"If we'd played that way Saturday night, it would've been no contest," Buzard said. "I was very pleased with our effort in this game."
The team's two main scorers, Bryant and junior guard Heather Brown, came through with 22 and 21 points, respectively, each hitting three 3-pointers. The Zias also got a season-best 12 points from sophomore post Brittany Gillespie and 11 from junior guard Missy Kirkland, while junior guard Megan Ratliff added nine rebounds.
"It's been a tough season with all the injuries, but we have a lot of girls who can come in and play hard," said Bryant, who also had eight boards. "Everybody has to step up when somebody's out."
WT also had four players in double figures, led by guards Emily Brister with 24 points and Jennifer Brock with 20. Six-foot-5 junior post Alicia Saunders added a double-double with 10 points and 11 boards.
"Brister and Brock just really played well," veteran WT coach Bob Schneider said. "Down the stretch, Jennifer Brock was a great leader for us.
"It was a little hairy there (at the end). They (Zias) just kept coming back strong."
Bryant admitted the struggles in division play have been a little tough to take.
"It is at times, but you've just got to keep fighting," she said. "I'm just thankful to have teammates who have stepped into roles they weren't expected to have this year."

EU reaches deal to curb bank bonuses
The European Union moved to slap a strict limit on bank executives' bonuses in the latest effort to curb what is seen by many as corporate and banking excess.
Negotiators for the European Parliament and EU states said they reached a preliminary deal on a measure that would forbid bonuses that exceed a bankers' fixed salary. Flexible pay could increase to twice fixed salary, but only with explicit shareholder approval.
The initiative, part of a broader law that forces lenders to build up more-robust financial cushions, is designed to reduce incentives for the type of risky behavior widely blamed for contributing to the 2008 financial crisis.
The EU push comes as Swiss voters will indicate on Sunday just how deep their resentment of big executive paychecks runs when they vote on a controversial plan that would give shareholders sweeping authority over executive compensation.
The 24 items contained in the Swiss referendum, dubbed the "rip-off" initiative, would allow shareholders to block salaries, ban so-called golden handshakes and parachutes—forms of guaranteed parting packages—and require greater transparency on loans and pensions to executives and directors. The measure includes fines and prison sentences for violations.
The moves in Brussels and in Switzerland, if successful, would represent the most intrusive intervention yet into how banks and corporations compensate employees and executives—an issue that was for years considered an internal corporate matter.
The EU pay limits would apply to all European banks, including their operations abroad, as well as US and other foreign banks' subsidiaries in the EU, officials representing both member states and the Parliament said. That provision may be reviewed in a few years' time, they added.
Members of Parliament, which first introduced the bonus caps and fought hard against efforts to water them down, hailed the preliminary accord.
"If I have to judge from the reaction of the [banking] industry, this will impact them. And this will also impact the overall amount of remuneration," said Philippe Lamberts, a Belgian lawmaker for the Green Party who was one of the leading negotiators for Parliament. "I think it will really hit them."
Bankers have lobbied strongly against the European bonus caps, claiming they will hamper their ability to hire talented staff and put them at a competitive disadvantage to their counterparts in the US and elsewhere.
Negotiators said that some longer-term bonuses that don't lead to actual payouts for at least five years may be discounted when the caps are calculated. But that provision, along with several other elements of the deal, will have to be nailed down in another round of talks and could still be rejected by member states, they stressed.
The negotiators said the new bank rules should come into force on Jan. 1, 2014, provided they get formal sign-off from both the full European Parliament and EU finance ministers and can be written into national law in all 27 member states in time.
Efforts to curb pay have backfired before. A 1993 US tax law that said companies couldn't deduct senior executive pay over $1m from their taxable income ended up establishing that level as a minimum for CEO pay and encouraged the spread of less-transparent forms of pay, such as pensions and deferred compensation.
Big London-based investment banks already are looking at ways to lessen the impact of the potential new rules, such as sharply boosting base salaries, industry officials said. That could make it harder for banks to claw back pay if a bank runs into trouble.
The bonus caps are being introduced as part of EU legislation to ensure banks carry adequate capital cushions in line with the so-called Basel accords agreed in the Swiss city by international banking supervisors.
Bankers' pay wasn't part of the Basel agreements, but lawmakers in the European Parliament insisted on limiting payouts linked to short-term profits because they were seen as driving bankers to take excessive risks in the lead-up to the crisis. Between 2008 and 2009, EU countries pumped €2 trillion ($2.63 trillion) into their lenders, and bank failures have also been at the root of broader government-debt crises that followed.
The referendum in Switzerland caps an emotional four-year effort by Thomas Minder, a businessman turned politician who has campaigned against excessive executive compensation. The initiative's chances of success were boosted earlier this month when Novartis scrapped a proposed exit package of 72m Swiss francs ($66.9m ) for outgoing Chairman Daniel Vasella after it stirred controversy across the country.
The Minder initiative would give shareholders wide power in shaping how Swiss companies pay executives and board members. Under its rules, shareholders are required to approve or reject executive pay packages every year.
It would ban golden handshakes and golden parachutes and would require greater transparency on loans and pensions for executive board members. Under the proposal, breaches would be penalised with fines of up to six times annual salary or imprisonment for up to three years.
Minder's ideas have resonated with his countrymen amid growing resentment of executive pay since the government's 2008 bailout of UBS Switzerland's biggest bank. A string of highly paid executives from the US and the European Union landing at Swiss companies has only engendered more public anger over corporate pay.
Joe Hogan, an American who runs ABB, received a 13-million-franc signing bonus when he joined the engineering and power company in 2008, while UBS's German Chairman Axel Weber got five million francs when he joined the bank this year. By comparison, the average Swiss worker earned 69,400 francs in 2010, according to the Federal Statistics Office.
"If my initiative is approved, there will be a revolution in corporate annual general meetings," Minder said in an interview. "They will become properly democratic procedures."
The debate on big paychecks began to widen beyond a narrow group of shareholder activists following a rash of corporate accounting scandals more than a decade ago at companies such as WorldCom and Enron; it took on new momentum after the 2008 financial crash.
This week's developments in Europe take the debate a big step forward by giving corporate outsiders more direct say on pay levels, rather than just react to them. In 2011, the EU already required banks to defer large parts of bonus payouts three to five years into the future.
More broadly, investors in the UK began casting advisory, or non-binding, votes on corporate pay in 2003. Pay for UK executives continued to rise, but some activists believe the shareholder votes curbed excesses. Other European countries, notably the Netherlands, adopted stricter regulations. Investors in Dutch companies have had a binding vote since 2004 on material changes to executive pay policies.
Though the debate on executive pay is less charged in the US, attitudes shifted during the financial crisis after some Wall Street executives walked away with multimillion-dollar packages before their companies failed or needed government support.
Starting in 2011, the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law gave shareholders at all but the smallest US companies a non-binding say-on-pay vote. Some companies where investors defeated or narrowly approved their pay practices reacted by tightening ties between pay and corporate performance.

"Outstanding Large Begonias. Very large showy blossoms that have kept blooming all summer."
- Mtnlady in ID
Begonias are a beautiful spring blooming bulb that offer color all season long. Tuberous Begonia require shade and regular feeding, so most people grow them in patio pots, window boxes, or other places where you can tend them carefully. They're also perfectly happy in the ground in shady areas as long as the soil is rich and well-watered. The blooms can reach a spectacular 5 or 6" across, on short plants that are rarely over a foot tall. Many gardeners start the plants inside in pots, and they can be taken in and enjoyed as houseplants when frost threatens in the fall.

Photograph of Beeville's first high school became Thomas Jefferson Junior High until it was razed in 1949 to make room for a modern structure that was named William E. Madderra Elementary school.
The two story brick building was located at 601 East Hayes Street, and was named for Captain Allen Carter Jones. Captain Jones' heirs, following the example of Captain Jones who had donated six acres of land for a school house in 1886, donated the land for this first high school. In 1957, a new A.C. Jones High School was built at 1900 N. Adams Street.

Coffee, red wine, cigarettes�when it comes to protecting your pearly whites, you know to steer clear of these tooth-staining offenders. But there are some other, less-obvious culprits that could be�ruining your smile. Most likely, acid-containing�foods are secretly wreaking havoc on your oral health�and acid is lurking where you least expect it. It�s common knowledge that excess sugar can contribute to cavities, but what�s the big deal with acid? �Foods high in acid can contribute to acid erosion, which is the wearing down of the outer layer of the tooth enamel,� explains Dr. Debra Glassman, a nationally renowned dentist based in NYC. As the protective enamel wears away, the teeth turn yellow, translucent and dull. They might also be more sensitive to hot or cold liquids. What�s more, acid erosion is an irreversible process�so once the tooth enamel has eroded, �There�s no replacing it,� Dr. Glassman adds. Unfortunately, many foods that are mainstays of a healthy diet�including citrus fruits, salad dressings, dried fruits and even berries�could be sneakily sabotaging your oral health. �When you eat these foods, you bathe your teeth in an acidic environment, and it can ultimately wear away on the enamel,� Glassman says. Look below to find out which of your favorite foods are surprisingly rich in acid. This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Students give Laurier excellent marks in The Globe and Mail University Report Card
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 1/06
Our students give Laurier excellent marks in many key areas, including university atmosphere, quality of education and satisfaction with the university experience, according to The Globe and Mail University Report Card 2006, released October 31.
Overall, its a good news story, says president Dr. Bob Rosehart. Were quite pleased with the results again this year. This survey has a little extra credibility (compared to other surveys) because its arms length. The university is not involved in the process.
The report card is based on participation by students from 49 Canadian universities who are registered on the studentawards.com database. They were asked more than 100 questions about their universities. A mean score was calculated for each university for each question, based on the responses of students who attended that school. Universities were then assigned a letter grade A+ to D for each variable.
On the clearly positive side, Laurier received:
A+ for overall university atmosphere.
We also received a grade of A for:
school spirit
faculty members knowledge of subjects
sense of community on campus
sense of personal safety/security
class sizes
satisfaction with university experience
overall quality of education.
And A- marks for:
diversity of extra-curricular activities
tolerance for diverse opinions/ideas
availability of faculty outside classroom hours
physical fitness
recreational/athletic programs/services
level of interaction between faculty and students
reputation for undergraduate studies
overall academic reputation of the university
quality of teaching, overall on-campus buildings/facilities
student residences
on-campus network for Internet/email
classrooms/lecture halls.
The study singled out Laurier for showing improvement in the areas of faculty feedback, the number of courses to choose from, student residences, online course/teaching materials, campus atmosphere and reputation of professional schools.
The survey noted a worrisome trend: at 25 universities, the availability of spaces for students in courses necessary to complete their degrees dropped. Laurier, however, was one of only two universities to buck the trend.
Laurier got only four grades below B- out of the 71 categories, and didnt get any D grades. We received grades of C+ in co-op/internship opportunities, reputation for conducting leading-edge research, availability of merit-based scholarships, and services for Aboriginal students.
The university is already at work in these areas. A new career services-co-op building is now under construction on King Street, which will be of assistance to both staff and employers; a new position (associate vice-president: research) was created this year to promote research activity at the university; our scholarships are competitive and are always under review; and Aboriginal servicescurrently very strong at the Brantford campus and within the Faculty of Social Workreceived a boost at the Waterloo campus with the creation this summer of the Office of Student Diversity.
Food services at Laurier received a B- but thats not so bad. It seems that students everywhere are picky eaters. Of the 49 universities in the survey, only two received a B in the category of food services, and that was the top mark given. Eighteen universities received a mark of D.

In case if you are coming to my blog to find out why Grab Yahoo demo is not available anymore – here is why. Few weeks ago I found that my hosting service has been terminated by Bluehost – reason given was that one of my domains is acting as a phishing site.
When I called up Bluehost they referred me to my Grab Yahoo demo page – which is broken for a while now. Apparently Yahoo! complained to bluehost that the demo page for Grab Yahoo is a phishing site. Well, FYI Yahoo!, this PHP script that I wrote a long long time ago uses PHP's cURL library to authenticate users and then allow them to put their contacts in an array. Since you (Yahoo!) have been constantly changing your login forms, added captcha etc the class (Grab Yahoo) had to be modified to keep working – which I stopped doing for a while. Due to the fact that it stopped working – when authentication failed it took users to Yahoo! login page – as I had follow redirection turned on for debugging at one stage. Anyhow, if you want to validate you can always download the PHP file from phpclasses.org – just look for Grab Yahoo.

The China Study
One of our readers asked that we evaluate a book I had not previously heard of: The China Study: Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-Term Health, by nutrition researcher T. Colin Campbell, PhD, with his non-scientist son Thomas M. Campbell II. The China Study was an epidemiologic survey of diet and health conducted in villages throughout China and is touted as "the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted." The book's major thesis is that we could prevent or cure most disease (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, bone, kidney, eye and other diseases) by eating a whole foods plant-based diet, drastically reducing our protein intake, and avoiding meat and dairy products entirely.
Opinions of the book
There's a lot of praise for this book on the Internet. It was named VegNews Book of the Year. PETA loves it (not surprisingly). Heather Mills McCartney calls it inspirational. It was featured on Oprah.com and endorsed by two of her favorite doctors: Mehmet Oz and Dean Ornish. Its author was even interviewed on Coast to Coast AM.
But I also found this critical review which makes some excellent points and accuses the authors of misrepresenting the findings of the study. And this commenter on an Amazon.com forum also charges Campbell with misrepresenting the data from the study and points out numerous flaws in his reasoning.
Problematic references
I didn't look at the praise or criticism of others until after I read the book, and the following represents my independent impressions. I approached the book as I do any book with scientific references: I read until I come across a statement of fact that strikes me as questionable and then I check the references given for the statement. This immediately got me off on the wrong foot with this book. In the first chapter I found the statement: (more…)

The first Wounded Warriors Fishing Derby, sponsored by the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce and FISHCAP, brought 16 Fort Drum soldiers to the St. Lawrence River at Ogdensburg on June 4. All hit the river with local expert captains to find prize-winning pike and walleye, then were treated to a shore lunch. The soldiers' families were on hand, too, to try some fishing of their own from shore.

how can a god let this happen? simple, there isn't one; or you can say there is a god but that god doesn't care anymore, it just watches with indifference. in both cases, neither should be worshiped.
however your way of thinking doesn't bother me. it's those who want to impose on others, baseless and unproven beliefs.
Im not sure why he lets that happen but it don't mean he is not real. Though the only reason I can say he don't bother helping anymore is because when he did with Jesus.. well you know what happend... so it could be true he don't care anymore. I still do think he should stop all the bad things though.
Also yeah everything about God is what if as we actually have no proof he don't or does exist. Im in the middle, for many reasons.

Haha thats what I sometimes think. As we wouldn't know that we was just a dream. Remember a dream is like Tsukuyomi. :p You can have a billion years dream which actually happens in 1 second. Thats what they say and it seems to be true. So it could possibly be a person having a dream.
Nothing can be 100% certain.
Well, I'd be ready accept the existence of something supernatural if it was proven to me somehow. That is, I don't really believe something I can't confirm myself, which is different from assuming that something might be, such as when someone tells you, showing you their broken arm, how some bloke did that to him/her.
In other words, realistic things, things with enough support such as: I've seen it before and it isn't unthinkable in this world.
However, were I to see that which undoubtedly could be described as supernatural, then sure~
Ah, forgot to mention that, since I'll be the one judging what to doubt or not, if there actually existed something supernatural and I were to never see or confirm this, then my comprehension of all this would remain the same, unless there was a plausible explanation.
It's really all relative.
So, no, I don't believe, I'm more of someone to assume the possibility, and the likelihood of a god or something supernatural existing is very low in my world.
i do believe there is a GOD, i just dont fully agree with the religious scriptures(any religion) description of god as these things were written and translated over many years and could of been mistranslated or even encoded into hidden messages.
If you are very sure you don't believe there is God who made havens and earth, why then do you need to ask. Don't tell me you are not sure of yourself again or that you want to change your mind already.

Yes of course energy can be created by converting matter in to energy and vice versa. E=mc2 proves it. You know how nuclear fusion and fission work? In that process, we get energy by splitting large atoms [like uranium], or by fusing small atoms [like hydrogen]. The sun is a good example of nuclear fusion reactor. But without matter energy cannot be created and vice versa.
And yes, the total amount of energy remains constant and is conserved overtime. And it changes one form to another, for example, chemical energy can be converted to kinetic energy. This energy neither can be created nor destroyed, and exists long before. But when it comes to the "before begining of universe" there were no energy to cause big bang and no matter to carry the conversion of energy or create energy. So basically, the eternal God created energy [or universe] out of nothing. This where it violets the Law of physics.
Btw, I don't believe in everything in Bible since it contradicts itself and contains errors, plus I have a better Book to put my faith in
I was raised in a Christian family. So yes I do. I think the main reason as to why some people don't believe in God is how they were raised. Which is a shame really on the parents part.
Foolish people, how many have died over who's god is bigger? Religion is responsible for more deaths than any disease or famine. If their is a god, man has destroyed his ideas by forcing religion on one another sometimes even thru war. If god could make the universe in a day, I'm sure he could stop all this madness by poppin his head in and saying "Hey, I'm real, stop killing each other about it." god fearing men, that term itself is ridiculous. Why would you be afraid of someone who loves everyone. the devil is used to put fear into you because without it there's nothing to bind you into following their rules. If there is a god, I give him more credit than religion does. I don't think he would allow what we see in reality everyday to go on. Why would he answer one teams prayer to 'win' at the expense of the other team? Did the other team not 'pray' good enough? It's all absurd once you break it down.
Bad things happen to good people all the time. Good things happen to bad people as well. Murderers get away with it, thieves and corporations steal and get away with it and get to lead a good life. Then there's the good samaritan who stops to help a motorist on the highway and he gets wiped out by a semi. There;s no rhyme or reason to it all. Look at the state of this pitiful world if you really want proof as to what I'm saying

Well truth be told, I do believe in God or Gods to be precise since I'm a Hindu.
However I also believe in the Big Bang Theory so I'm kinda split on what to believe more.
Anything's possible in this infinitely endless universe we call home.
Yes I believe because I just can't take the idea of we were created by chaotic process (Big bang and evolution theory) and for such universe we are living in there must be some power (AKA God) that created it and rule it :D
P.S I don't say you are wrong it's just my opinion I respect your criticism
It's hard to say what I believe because I don't believe we came from a man sitting up in the sky. I sort of believe in a conscious force that moves things along in the universe. I don't believe that this force has anything to do with right and wrong, or cares what we decide to do with ourselves. It just goes along and does what it does. I believe we're products of that force. (This force is called nature and we know very little about it's workings).

bro we need to talk
So you're saying there is a god just because he can't prove otherwise, very idealistic, saying that dies not prove there is a god atall
Yes, I personally do. I was brought up as a Catholic, but by having MANY experiences throughout my life thus far, it has dawned on me that there is a "Higher Power" and I know this power as God. I also believe in Jesus. Again, lots of personal experiences that I had. I have my reasons as well as others do to. Personally, why not believe? Afterall, it is nothing but good, and something positive for the mind. I need more positive in my life and even if no one is listening, praying (even thoughts are prayers) help ease whatever problems I have and just asking for help gives me a better strength. I believe there are many reasons people are put here, ESPECIALLY during this time. It is fine if you don't believe, as that is all your choice, but never be afraid to ask for guidance every now and then :3 Someone is listening. Speak it loud enough through your thoughts or prayers and they will show you answers, one way or another. It may not be through words, but by actions of someone, TV, anything. I have had things happen to my father, they are called "God Winks" Whenever something happens to him, he tells me this one song on the radio ALWAYS comes up with the lyrics "Everything is going to be fine" He says if that isn't an answer in your face what is? Yes, you can take it as a "coincidence" but this happened 4 times already. So imo, it all comes down to believing. They say seeing is believing but I say believing is seeing. Like I said I rather have ANYTHING positive in my life, then negative so yeah :3
