Syria's humanitarian crisis - in 60 seconds
16 December 2013 Last updated at 13:15 GMT
Syria's 33-month conflict has ravaged the country. The UN estimates nearly three-quarters of the country's 22 million population will need humanitarian aid in 2014.
Many Syrians trapped in besieged towns have had little help for months. Bread prices have rocketed and starvation is a major concern.
The BBC outlines the country's humanitarian crisis in 60 seconds.

LOVED OURS SO MUCH WE ORDERED THIS ONE FOR ONE OF OUR CHILDREN. THANKS!Review by Judy Edwards on 08/01/2013 1:00 PM
This is my second Jeanie Rub Massager. The first lasted 20 years, and we ordered a new one immediately as it helps with my back pain. The problem with the new one and the only reason I give it a 4 is that it has to be struck several times for the vibration to kick in. Other than that it is great.Review by SHERYL DYE on 08/01/2013 1:00 PM
This is my 5th Jeannie Rub. I've used them 30 yrs. They are excellent and work better than the more expensive units. Patients love their application. They can be used on the spine, extremities and more areas and always feel good, never uncomfortable. They move the soft tissue as well as the blood and lymphatic tissues. Better get one and see for yourself!Review by LESLIE HALEY on 08/01/2013 1:00 PM
My father had one of these when I was a child he had chronic back problems/pain.I found the massager myself about 15 yrs ago. I am currently on my second unit..They are great for back problems, as well as an excellent foot massager..I'll always own one..Thanks for a great product..

CoolSculpting is an ideal treatment for reducing fat in specific areas. It is an FDA cleared device for fat loss with no surgery and no downtime. CoolSculpting freezes fat cells so they are eliminated by the body. CoolSculpting selectively seeks out fat cells without affecting surrounding cells or tissues.
Coolsculpting complete adds vibrational therapy and mechanical massage to enhance the effects of the treatment
Web reference: http://www.bluewaterspa.com/coolsculpting.html
Thank you for your question and photo. My suggestions --
- Your tummy bulge is not fat. Do not try liposuction!
- Your photo suggests an umbilical hernia. You can be born with this or it can come from previous surgery or injury.
- Or it may be a weakness in the tummy muscle (rectus diastasis).
- Please see a Board Certified Surgeon, in Plastic or General Surgery to have this fixed. Insurance should cover the procedure.
- Congratulations on staying so fit. You don't need to do more! Hope this helps.
Try Smart Lipo Triplex to are. Seek in person evaluations with qualified Smart Lipo docs in your area.
You might also like...
You are extremely thin, athletic, and fit (good for you!) so this stubborn protrusion is understandably concerning. Please see one or more ABPS-certified plastic surgeons (many of whom are fully-trained and board-certified General Surgeons) for a complete history and physical examination to ensure that this is indeed fat and not something else (like a hernia or tumor)!
If in fact this is simply localized diet- and exercise-resistant fat, small-cannula liposculpture, ultrasonic liposuction, or even SmartLipo (for this kind of localized collection this is actually a reasonable choice, but not for larger areas of much more fat) can flatten this out nicely. Your surgeon should not be overly aggressive so as to avoid ridging or unnatural skin adherence to the underlying fascia, and should also be careful to avoid damage to the subdermal area of the skin to minimize surface rippling or wrinkling.
Coolsculpting, Exilis, or other non-surgical options can make (modest) improvements in this area, but your overall physique may be better served by expert surgery, and a small area such as this can often be done under local or local plus sedation. Don't think that because it's a small area of fat that you don't need an expert in liposuction (ABPS-certified plastic surgeon); in fact, there is so much less room for error in a patient such as you that this is even more critical, IMHO. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen
Web reference: http://www.mpsmn.com/body-procedures/liposuction
From your describtion, sounds like you are very fit and I do not see accumulation of extra fat in the other parts of your body. If you lie flat on your back and protrusion disappears, you most likely have some weakness in the upper part of your abdominal muscles which could be repaired surgically. A physical exam would help the diagnosis.
You really need an exam in person. it is hard to tell from a single photo what is causing your protrusion. If there is fat, then maybe lipo. If it is from weak muscles or spine issues then there may or may not be different options.
You appear to be doing 'your part' to keep yourself fit with diet and exercise. I'd suggest some liposuction to the abdomen to optimize your contours.
Web reference: http://www.scottsattlermd.com/SurgicalProcedures_Liposuction_533136.aspx
Without seeing you in person, it is difficult to give you specific advice. However, if you have a stubborn area of fat on your lower abdomen, liposuction will be very helpful.
Good Luck.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
You are in terrific shape. Small areas of fat, such as in your case, can be treated with Smarlipo for around a 50% reduction (but a minimally invasive procedure) or treated with CoolSculpting. CoolSculpting is non-surgical but can improve that area by about 25% in women. Since there is no downtime with CoolSculpting, you can go right back to working out the next day instead of having to take 7-10 days off post Smartlipo.

Happy Halloween! My favorite time of the year!
This year, we turned a little Halloween Bash into a play date and had a few friends come over to help us celebrate the holiday. For this reason, I designed a party and matching printable set especially for kids.
Fun, bright, bold patterns with not-too-scary characters – a witch, vampire, bat, ghost & Frankenstein.
Fun, bright, bold patterns with not-too-scary characters – a witch, vampire, bat, ghost & Frankenstein.
Fun was had by all. Tricky treats included a green, slimy, bubbling cauldron full of Witches Stew. I made this concoction by adding green food coloring to white chocolate and placed a chocolate fountain, inside a black plastic witches cauldron – I was so pleased with the result! The kids loved dipping their marshmallow sticks into the green gooey slime and eating it fondue-style.
We also had "Monster's Eyes" cookies decorated with fondant and edible ink pen. Some fun drinks including: "Bats Blood", "Witches Brew" and "Monster Pop". Some yummy death-by-chocolate cupcakes and Candy Corn Parfaits satisfied our guests sweet tooth, and all went home with a special Halloween favor.
I really enjoyed putting this fun spin on some classic Halloween characters this year, and I hope you like it too.

You must have heard of Tanakpur. Yes, that snow-clad Uttarakhand town your friend went for vacations last winter. It all starts there, when Aakash (Pulkit Samrat) and Shruti (Yami Gautam) are still kids.
What would you expect a Bollywood hero to do? Confess love and deliver some high-octane dramatic dialogues? That's not what you get in Abhishek Kapoor's Fitoor.
Truth be told, we fell for the pre-release hype of R Madhavan's Saala Khadoos: It claimed to be based on 'true life events', had Rajkumar Hirani as the producer, with a 'real' boxer playing the lead character of a pugilist.
Sunny Deol's Ajay Mehra hasn't been healthy off-late (read mentally). Well, he never was. Who kills so many people in one go?

US-Funded Textbooks Teach Afghan Children Whitewashed History
The curriculum in Afghan schools intentionally excludes four decades of war in an effort to "bring people together"
Afghan children are being taught with U.S.-funded textbooks explicitly written to exclude four decades of war in an almost self-satirizing attempt to "bring people together."
"There is no mention of the Soviet war, the mujaheddin, the Taliban or the U.S. military presence," reports the Washington Post. "In their efforts to promote a single national identity, Afghan leaders have deemed their own history too controversial."
When state-funded indoctrination books whitewash entire swathes of relevant history, societal problems don't simply go away. They're compounded. Afghans are suffering on a daily basis from war and yet the U.S. and their Afghan "education" wardens appear to have decided to keep children ignorant of the causes of their country's troubles.
Attempting to erase four decades of history is something extremely beneficial for the criminals, thugs, and extremists that have terrorized the country in that time. U.S. officials and the Afghan Ministry presumably want to prevent Afghans from knowing that the Soviets invaded and slaughtered perhaps over a million Afghans, or that the U.S. helped spur extremist jihadis to power, or that the Taliban forced a delusional brand of religious savagery on the people, or that the U.S. has committed extensive atrocities and war crimes throughout ten years of military occupation. Lucky for the Russians, Americans, and Taliban.
"Our recent history tears us apart. We've created a curriculum based on the older history that brings us together, with figures universally recognized as being great," said Farooq Wardak, Afghanistan's education minister. "These are the first books in decades that are depoliticized and de-ethnicized."
Depoliticized, de-enthicized, and de-factized. The curriculum, which was "reviewed" for "inappropriate material" by people the Post calls "U.S. military cultural advisers," is anathema to education. It does the opposite of what education is supposed to do, instead keeping Afghans ignorant and doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, never having learned from them in the first place.

Lamb Broth With Anchovies And Peas
It is getting cold here in Melbourne and it is also time for me to start making soups and stews. I was not too convinced when I first went through the ingredients list but I must admit the end result is a very satisfactory one, who would have thought? This is yet another recipe from The Italian Cookbook Collector's Edition by Gourmet Traveller but I had made some slight changes. The original recipe asks for curly endive but I substituted with some leftover cavolo nero instead.
It doesn't look like I will be able to come up with a Malaysian Monday post this week but I will make sure I will have some very special dishes for the coming week.
P.S It is St. Patrick's Day today and I must get home before the town turns green by mmm... drunks!
recipe adapted from The Italian Cookbook Collector's Edition by Gourmet Traveller
serves 2 to 3 as a one dish meal
you'll need;
1 kg lamb shoulder, cut into large pieces
3 brown onions, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped
6 anchovy fillets
1.5 cups of chicken stock
3/4 cup of garden peas
1 tbs of oregano, coarsely torn
1/2 a bunch of cavolo nero (Italian black cabbage) or 1 curly endive
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
crusty bread to serve
Finely dice the onions.
Garden peas and trimmed cavolo nero.
Cut lamb shoulder into large chunks.
Saute onion with 2 tbs od olive oil until tender (about 10 minutes). Add garlic and anchovy fillets and cook until anchovies dissolve.
Add stock and lamb, cover and simmer on low heat. stirring and skimming occasionally until lamb is tender.
Add vegetables and oregano, simmer until cavolo nero is wilted.
Serve hot with plenty of of crusty bread.

Earlier in the week, Jon Stewart referred to the decision-making exhibit at the new George W. Bush Presidential Library as "disasterpiece theater." Was it satire? Slam? Or both? Regardless, watch as "The Daily Show" correspondent Al Madrigal visits the new library and aces the test based on the former president's pivotal policy decisions.

"The Bluest Eye"
The quilt I created for Quilting Arts magazine's 2008 calendar competition didn't get into the calendar, but I just learned from the editor that it is a "judge's choice" winner and will appear in an issue of the magazine sometime soon. The competition had the theme "A Novel Idea," and artists were asked to create quilts about their favorite books. Mine is based on Toni Morrison's novel about an African-American girl growing up in horrible violence, her descent into madness, and her dream to have blue eyes like Shirley Temple so she would be accepted and loved.

I am soon to be a granny and want to be able to see our grandchild who lives 7 horus away. Thought a webcam would be the answer to that question. I am running Mac OS 10.2.8. I have downloaded MacCam, iChat USB Cam v.1.1.2, i Chat Enhancer, Logitech's QuickCam update for OSX. Still no luck with audio. Thought I would try OhphoneX. I'm not real sure how to use it. I have downloaded it, but now what.

have you seen the new wayward daughter fall 2012 collection? the lovely cait has done it again with this darling collection of handmade pieces perfect for a girl with a weakness for peter pan collars and pinafores. when i first laid my eyes on the collection, i fell into a bit of a trance and immediately started dropping every single piece into my shopping cart… i can honestly say that i want it all! i've actually had the pleasure of modeling one of her spring pieces for a lookbook earlier in the year, and i was struck by the incredible quality of the garment. and you really can't beat the feeling of owning something that has been lovingly handmade.

Beautiful dresses! amazing style!
Pili. -
You are so right about quality. You can't fake a well made garment. It's good to know she makes amazing pieces! Sometimes when I see things online, it's hard to know how good the quality is…it's a big thing for me. I love things that can last a long time.
Lovely pieces! The model is so pretty. I like her freckles :)

Resources: Travel / Hospital Packet |
During the 2000 Oley Conference, several consumers and clinicians put their heads together to brain storm a document that would be helpful for consumers when they travel or are admitted into the hospital. The resulting packet is meant to help consumers communicate their medical needs and history to hospital personnel, and can be especially important for emergency admissions at an unfamiliar institution. We recommend that all consumers fill out the relevant parts of the packet and carry it with them whenever they leave home. Consumers may need help from their physician and/or homecare company to complete certain sections. The Packet Includes 1. a suggested cover letter (pick and choose which points/bulleted statements you
wish to convey) Recognizing that many consumers may want to personalize their document, and that all will need to update it regularly, we are offering the Travel/Hospital Admissions Packet in several different formats.
Any questions? Call Roslyn Dahl at (800) 776-OLEY. We thank everyone who helped put this together, especially Marcia Wise, RN, Barbara Lorenzen, RN, and Irmagail Gordon.

Speaking of the Yankees, is it just me or does the current state of Yankee propoganda remind anyone of this past offseason. All we keep hearing is that the team is playing well, they are winning, Melky is doing great, Matsui is progressing. And they are starting to say things like they don't feel the need to make the move for Abreu. All of this reminds me of this offseason when they kept talking about Crosby being the man in CF. Right up to the day they signed Damon. So let's all prepare ourselves for the Abreu to MFY trade happening early next week. If I was Pat Gillick, I would make the Yanks take Abreu and Burrell to clear all that salary.

Ever the tactful linguist, Shea Hillenbrand speaking to reporters:
"Not one person from the front office has even come up to congratulate me," he said. "It's all the little people like you guys. But nobody from higher up. That's a disgrace."
I'm sure they enjoyed being called little people.Ok, I am an idiot. Yahoo was reporting old news. This just in...
ReplyDeleteGordon is an interesting one. Because he is fairly cheap and is signed for two more years, they may be inclined to NOT move him. Is it back end loaded? I don't have the year by year breakdown, but if he got $4.5 this year, then he is owed $13MM for 07 and 08, which is not such a bargain for a set up man or maybe even a closer.
But mlb.com said that the Sox and Dodgers were trying to get Gordon. Maybe the Sox think that he could be the closer and they slide papelbon into the rotation. And if that does not work, they can always move him back.I'm guessing that he means just MVP and Cy young. So its 72 man/seasons. But with multiple winners (Bonds, Juan Gone, Clemens), getting to the 75% of the major award seasons, maybe you only need half of the players.
I wonder if he counts all 7 of Bonds MVP while GOS says he started using after 98?
As a starter to the exercise, I have to go all the way back to 1995 to get to an NL MVP Award winner (Barry Larkin) that I would not have at least a sliver of doubt about.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys' soccer team on Monday used solid defense and midfield play and two goals from senior striker Akeem Pottinger to turn back Mount Abraham, 2-1, in a well-played final of the Tigers' J.P. Carrara & Sons tournament.
Pottinger's second goal came with about 10 minutes to go, snapped a 1-1 tie and capped a second half in which the Tigers controlled play. The Tigers improved to 2-0 and won their own tournament for the first time in several years.

XIV is About to Get Dangerous
For a long time I have been an advocate of the long XIV trade, or effectively, to short any volatility spikes. This strategy has worked very well during the most recent bull market. Who wouldn't be lured by the tenfold gain seen on the XIV chart?
As always, past performance is not predictive of future returns. XIV has been smashed by this recent rout in the market, having fallen over 50% from its all time high. In fact, the XIV trade does not seem to be working well in general lately. It's price has had some wild swings since the fourth quarter of 2014.
What Happened to Contango?
As I explained in a post last year, XIV's returns have been supercharged by a prolonged period of backwardation on the CBOE VIX futures curve. Then early this year I wrote a follow up to that post when I noticed that XIV seemed to have broken its long term trend. I put forth several reasons that we may be entering a new phase of volatility where the persistence of contango helping the XIV may no longer be so reliable.
Since the stock market began its correction at the end of August, XIV has been hurting because the futures curve is stuck in backwardation. Unlike most volatility spikes in recent years, this time the VIX and backwardation are not fading so quickly. To better understand how this could impact XIV, I conducted a study of past "sticky" volatility spikes to determine if we could gain insight into the near future.
In this study, I make the assumption that any VIX spike above its long term average will send the VIX futures curve into backwardation. This will happen because the price of the nearest expiring futures contract is drawn to the spot price of the VIX, but longer dated futures contracts are drawn to the VIX long term average. The difference between the current VIX futures contract and the spot is what traders call the roll yield. This blog article by VIX Contango Oscillator explains it very well:
...a VIX Future contract over the long term tries to reach the average spot VIX value. The farther out in time the future, the closer the fair value will be to the average historical VIX value. The delta between the future price approximation and the average value goes exponentially closer to zero. The flipside of that calculation is that the nearest term VIX future has the largest difference to the long-term average, the second term VIX Future - the second largest difference, the third term VIX Future - the third largest difference, etc. The exponential decline in the delta can be plainly seen in the usual VIX Future Curve formation depicted above (Contango formation).
I downloaded the historical spot VIX prices from the CBOE website. Using data from 2004-2015, I calculated the average value based upon the daily closes to be 19.4. Next, I wanted to determine how often and the length of intervals that the VIX spends above its long term average.
My theory is that when the VIX is above the long term average, the short term VIX futures is more likely to be in a state of backwardation. Backwardation is harmful to XIV. Therefore, prolonged periods of time when the VIX remains above 19.4 should be very detrimental to the price of XIV.
Study Findings
From 2004-2015, I learned that the VIX spent roughly 1/3 of its time above the long term average. The median of 16.4 indicates that the distribution of where the VIX spends its time is skewed upward. In other words, a fewer number of high VIX days during spikes has pulled the average higher. This would explain how the VIX futures could spend more days in contango than backwardation.
The longevity and distribution of VIX spikes is most interesting. I noted the length of periods when the VIX went above its long term average and held for a number of days. As expected, tumultuous times in the market correlated to longer periods of an elevated VIX. Here are key periods of time when the VIX went above its long term average of 19.4 and held. (I only analyzed whether the VIX was above or below 19.4; point value of much was not examined.)
I then grouped each period of high volatility into year and quarter.
This table shows that the VIX is polarizing! During tumultuous times the VIX could remain elevated for extensive periods, which is very bad for XIV. In 2009, the VIX stayed above its long term average for the entire year. But during periods when the markets are relatively calm such as 2004-2006, the VIX won't spend more than a few days at a time above its long term average.
XIV was launched just before a period of historically low volatility. This has given the dangerous illusion that XIV is invulnerable and will always be driven higher by contango, which is not always the case. The only time we've really gotten a taste of how prolonged volatility affects XIV is 2011 when it took a 75% drawdown during the debt ceiling crisis.
It is possible to use the SPVXSP index to backtrack the theoretical performance of the XIV before it was created, as described on this other blog. If only more traders had this view of the XIV during the 2008 financial crisis, perhaps it would be less appealing. As the author states, if you model the performance of XIV back to 2006, you will see that it would have lost 80% of its value at some point.
Where can XIV go from here?
I use a proprietary model to estimate potential future prices for XIV based on percentage changes in the underlying VIX futures prices (months 1 and 2). As of today, my model indicates that the current effective price for the XIV's underlying VIX futures is 23.63. If in one day the VIX futures months 1 and 2 mix were to move to an average of 30, we could see XIV dip into the upper teens. The good news is that if volatility were to somehow go away and drop back to ~14, we could see XIV rally into the upper 30s.
However, as we can see from the charts above, "sticky" backwardation can happen when the VIX finds support above its long term average, causing XIV to get hammered. I see this scenario as likely until near end of the year at best.
How I'm Trading This
The quickness and severity of the current VIX spike caught me by surprise. I was sitting on a small position from the upper 40's. When it gapped down and settled into the 20s I began building a more serious position. My plan was to add the rest of my intended shares upon any sign that the VIX was receding as usual, but that didn't happen yet. In fact, I made a mistake by buying into the fakeout rally following the most recent FOMC meeting, hurting my average.
My research now tells me that since we are nearing 30 days with the VIX holding steady in the 20s, we may be in for a much longer volatility ride. This will not bode well for XIV. Until the S&P 500 reclaims the 2000 level, the VIX retreats back into the teens, and/or the VIX fades below the 200DMA, I do not think XIV is going to generate stellar positive returns. Judging by the length of past market corrections, I would venture to guess that the VIX can remain elevated for another quarter or more. Therefore, I will be reducing my size into rallies and looking to buy back at a better cost average.
One of my personal weaknesses as a trader is that I am often too early in acting on an idea. Executing too early will get you a bad entry. With my buying power tied up through premature trades, I will not be able to buy more shares unless I unload some. I certainly don't want to be heavy handed in XIV if the S&P500 falls to its next level of support at 1810.
Final Word
XIV inverse volatility is a compelling instrument. It's extreme performance over the last several years has caught the attention of many traders. However, the recent changes in the patterns of the VIX lead me to believe we are entering a new period of increased volatility, which would be harmful to XIV as a long term holding. Use caution when building a position as long as the VIX is supported above its long term average of ~20.
Are Chinese tech stocks ready to turn?
This morning there was a lot of activity in the beaten down Chinese stock sector. I think this could be the start of a much bigger move. We are early in the second quarter and the activity I see this morning could be the start of a rotation of institutional money into Chinese stocks.
Steve Spencer of SMB Capital recently did a video on their blog about how to trade the bottom in a correction. He does an in depth review of how he spotted and successfully traded last year's correction in small cap tech stocks. I think this year we've seen a similar correction in Chinese stocks and it may be bottoming out.
One of the signs Steve looks for to identify a correction is a basket of stocks. In a correction, he expects the leaders to be down 20%, and in some cases as high as 40% pullback from the highs. If you look at the recent performance of some of the high flying Chinese tech stocks from last year, you will certainly see this is the case:
Some of the stocks like JD, CTRP, and ATHM were actually down much more but have recently started climbing back to the highs. We may soon see other former leaders in the group like WB, DANG, and QIHU catch up.
In Steve's video, he says that he also likes to look for a clear level of support that holds as a bottom. The bottom is especially strong if it holds through an earnings report, or if some volume selling comes in but is unsuccessful in crushing it to new lows that stick. I think we are seeing such a consolidation in many of these. Here are some of my favorite charts right now.
BABA - 80 seems to be a floor.
KNDI - 10 has been a solid support going back to the very beginning of 2014. There seems to be some recent support at 12 on the shorter time frames. A move to the 200DMA near 15 seems well within reach.
WB - This thing is beat, but its got a nice series of higher lows since it got near 12 at the beginning of February. With only a 13M share float, it could take off substantially if money flows in.
Trading Plan
I'm going to have a close eye on these stocks over the next few days. Some of these I've started into today with small positions. For the most part I'm going to be waiting for dips and picking to go long on key short term technical levels where the tape holds.
How to Trade Breakout Remount Setups
This is part two of a series of trade setups I'm examining in greater detail. In the last piece, I focused on the breakaway gap setup. In this blog article, we will examine a closely related trade setup called a "remount". A remount happens when a stock price breaks out of consolidation to a new trading range but initially fails, pulling back to make a higher low before following through with the real breakout.
Here is a recent example. LQ came out with a positive earnings report and looked like it was going to break out through all time highs. However, it hit resistance at 23 and sharply pulled back. It consolidated in the mid 22's for several days before resuming its breakout, clearing the 24's.
Gap Up Remount vs. Retest of the Breakout Area
In my writings, I am going to break down remount setups into two categories. The first category happens in conjunction with some news such as an earnings release. The stock gaps up during the premarket, possibly opening higher than the previous day's high. It looks like a potential breakaway gap setup but then fails and has to remount before moving higher. I call this scenario the gap up remount because a gap up is involved, which means it usually follows a failed breakaway gap setup. The area of support that it finds is usually near the price it gapped up from or a new level of resistance/support created on the first day.
Note that not every gap up remount necessarily stems from a failed breakaway gap up. In many cases such as KR you can have a successful run in the gap, but then several days later profit taking brings it back to a support area from days prior in which you can go long. KR initially had a nice breakaway gap from 73 to the upper 70's in which you could have taken profits if you went long on day 1. The remount gives you a second opportunity.
The second variation I call a breakout remount or breakout retest. This happens in the absence of big news or significant premarket gap. It's just a stock that's been sitting flat for a while that starts to make a move out of an area of consolidation. Such moves usually zig zag higher, coming back to the previous area of resistance or just below it on day 2 or 3 of the run.
The main difference between the gap up remount and the breakout retest is that one is news driven while the other is not. The breakout retest setup may also be a characteristic of other setups such as a bull triangle. The longer the stock consolidates in a range prior to the breakout, the more powerful the breakout usually is.
Time Frame & Patience
With the breakway gap setup, you can often take substantial profits on the first day. Remounts move more slowly. It takes time for the price to find support and therefore I recommend spotting this setup only on the 5min, 15min, or 1hr charts.
Some remounts happen quickly (in a relative sense), bouncing back to the ATH after only several days. Others may linger and the previous area of support for several weeks before making the up move. This kind of setup moves slowly - it's pretty much a swing trade only. However, it seems to be fairly reliable with a very good risk/reward if you are patient enough to avoid the mistake of taking profits too early.
Changes to My Posting of Ideas
I've been trying to get more methodical with the way I use Stocktwits and post to this blog. If you noticed, I've been using hashtags lately to denote the setup I see. This past several weeks I've also taken a hiatus from posting watchlists as I've only been focusing on the breakaway gap setups which I scan for primarily in the premarket of the trading day. I'll be back to regular posting of watchlists soon with better explanations around the setups I'm looking to play.

CAA Football adds another monster draft
Published May 4, 2009
When Creative Artists Agency brought Tom Condon and Ben Dogra together to form CAA Football in 2006, rival agents said it wouldn't work. Condon, who at IMG had long been considered the most powerful agent in football, and Dogra, who had begun to show signs of becoming a superstar at SFX, wouldn't get along, they said.
Three years in, that judgment appears to be incorrect. Now the question in the industry is whether the practice can build on its new high-water mark, representing more than one-quarter of the top talent in this year's NFL draft.
CAA Football made history in last month's draft by representing nine of the first 19 players selected overall. That's the most dominant performance by a single agency ever, besting its own record of six first-rounders from last year's draft. It had the No. 1 and No. 2 picks overall, Matthew Stafford and Jason Smith.
the second straight overall No. 1
for CAA Football.
"There is no question that having nine picks of the first 19 selected is very good," Condon said.
"I wouldn't say it was the best. We had drafts such as when we had Peyton Manning, Kyle Turley, Grant Wistrom and R.W. McQuarters and they all played at a high level in the NFL for a very long time," Condon said, referring to the 1998 draft, when he was head of football at IMG.
"You can't really tell what is your best draft," Condon said.
This year, rival agents explained CAA Football's success away by saying, in effect, that Condon and Dogra were basically good for four or five first-round picks each, and that makes nine. In their best year prior to merging, Condon had represented six first-rounders at IMG and Dogra had represented four first-rounders at SFX.
"They are two people," said a rival agent who did not want to be identified because he competes against CAA. "I count them as two practices. Ben Dogra is one practice and Tom Condon is a second practice."
But it's a turnabout from the early days of CAA Football, when agents and others in the industry said Condon and Dogra would never be able to recruit together as many players as they recruited separately.
In their first draft after merging, 2007, they represented five first-round picks. The next year they represented six first-rounders, including No. 1 and four of the top eight selections.
As to whether CAA Football can repeat this year's success, Dogra said, "I don't think its reasonable to have the expectation that you can sign nine [first-round] players in a given year."
A number of agents noted that it is common for top agents to have a great draft one year, followed by a not-so-great draft the next. Veteran agent Leigh Steinberg said, "Among the high-quality agents, recruiting trends tend to be cyclical based on where the top players are located and what positions they play."
Strength in numbers | ||||
CAA Football had nine first-round picks in the 2009 draft, a record for the NFL. | ||||
No. 1 | Matthew Stafford | QB | Lions | |
No. 2 | Jason Smith | OT | Rams | |
No. 7 | Darrius Heyward-Bey | WR | Raiders | |
No. 12 | Knowshon Moreno | RB | Broncos | |
No. 13 | Brian Orakpo | DE | Redskins | |
No. 14 | Malcolm Jenkins | DB | Saints | |
No. 15 | Brian Cushing | OLB | Texans | |
No. 17 | Josh Freeman | QB | Buccaneers | |
No. 19 | Jeremy Maclin | WR | Eagles |
But some in the industry think CAA Football's success is based on the Hollywood factor and the fact that CAA represents the top film and television actors, writers, producers and can get clients access to concerts, premieres and entertainment projects.
"I am not taking anything away from Condon, and Ben Dogra is becoming a monster," said an executive at a rival sports talent firm who did not want to be identified talking about a rival. "But they sell their sexy real well — the Hollywood, the TV, the commercial opportunities, the premieres and all of that."
Condon says CAA has turned away projected first-round picks who have called them because they didn't think those players would fit with their philosophy. "We are looking for great players," he said. "We are looking for character and intelligence. We like them for a reason and we sign them."
Nine first-round picks represented by a single agency is not a record in all sports. In 2001, NBA agents David Falk and Arn Tellem represented 10 first-round picks while both worked at the now defunct SFX Sports. But while Tellem and Falk worked out of different offices, Dogra and Condon work together in St. Louis. And unlike Falk and Tellem, Condon and Dogra recruit the vast majority of players together.
Falk said last week that CAA's success is the result of when you "put two really good" agents together and not surprising.
"I did believe when we got together, I thought we would be successful, because I believed we were the top agencies competing against each other," Dogra said.

MUSIC ISLAND rap and hip hop artist Jamie Marsh and singer-songwriter Cliff Dutton have made it on to an album hosted by Rita Ora.
The pair collaborated on the track, Complicated, on Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Vol. 222, alongside megastars Ora, Rihanna, Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.
Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes are the most downloaded mixtapes in the world, released weekly by major artists and featuring top indie artists from around the world.
Cliff, a vocalist and DJ, returned to the Island after several years on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura, where he performed in clubs and bars.
He teamed up with Jamie, who produces original music from his home in Ryde, a year ago to collaborate on a number of new tracks.
Cliff, 36, said: "Someone suggested we submit one of our songs to the producers, with the potential of getting onto an album.
"There were thousands of songs sent in from around the world. A public vote took place and we ended up in fourth place.
"The producers only picked three songs from the top ten, including ours. We were rather happy when we had the news on e-mail."
As well as producing his own music, Jamie is working with producers in the US to rework other material.
Cliff describes their music as a cross between urban and commercial hip hop — it has been compared to Professor Green.
"For me, music is a passion rather than something I am trying to earn money from," he said.
The pair are set to release a new acoustic track, King of the Castle, soon.

A new artificial lens that mimics the one found in human eyes is set to dramatically lower the weight of night-vision goggles, laser rangefinders and cameras aboard micro unmanned aerial vehicles that soldiers and marines must carry in the field.
Optics and materials engineers have been working for a decade on a process that places thousands of transparent polymer layers on top of each other to make what's called a gradient-index (GRIN) lens.
It's the same method that humans and some other animals have evolved to build the lens in their eyes. In the natural version, thousands of layers of clear protein layers are deposited one on top of the other to allow light through and focus images onto the retina.
"We were curious about what makes our own eyes work," says Dr. Michael Ponting, the president of PolymerPlus, a spinoff from Case Western Reserve University founded to bring the new GRIN lenses to market. "We've always been interested in how smart evolved natural systems are at getting things done. So we looked to nature to find the most efficient scientist."
Fine-tuning refractive power
For the artificial version PolymerPlus is building, each polymer layer can be fine-tuned by changing its chemical composition to minutely alter how much it bends light, a phenomenon called refraction. The process then stacks 4,000 polymer layers into paper-thin films that are in turn placed on top of each other. This method allows scientists to precisely configure the refractivity of the lens. Their work was published in November in the journal Optics Express.
The amalgamated layers of these GRIN lenses are allowing the researchers to dial in the desired optical characteristics they are looking for, like focusing or defocusing light and shielding out unwanted wavelengths. "Another neat thing you can do is create flat optics that makes light bend inside of them so they work like convex or concave lenses," Ponting says.
Military applications
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Office of Naval Research have contributed funding and brainpower to make the new lens technology.
DARPA managers have laid out their hopes for GRIN on the technology's product page. "What if a laser range finder or night-vision goggle could be reduced to half its size and weight? Imaging systems could benefit by using fewer optical elements to achieve better control of light with equal or better performance than conventional optics. For example, this translates to high-resolution cameras for micro unmanned aerial vehicles.
"Recent advances in the design and fabrication of GRIN optics promises to make this possible, and the implications will be far-reaching."
The sandwiched layers of polymers are about half the weight of glass equivalents, and their focusing abilities mean that one polymer lens can do the work of three that are made of glass. The result, Ponting says, is night-vision goggles that are a seventh of the weight compared to those currently available.
Part of the new technique's efficiency is the way that it refracts light. Most lenses must be shaped to change the direction that light travels when it passes through because the refraction happens at the surface of the material. The composition of the polymer layers in the new GRIN lens can actually refract light internally thanks to their varying chemical composition, which is precisely engineered.
"It's everything the state of the art in optics was plus the ability to change how light travels internally in the material instead of just at the surface," Ponting says. "We take advantage of the wasted internal space to bend where the light goes. It's a design degree of freedom."
Other uses on the horizon
The civilians and military working on the technology are already looking at what it can be used for besides military and other surveillance applications.
"In the past century, every component of an optical system has become lighter and smaller, except the optics," says Stefanie Tompkins, DARPA's GRIN program manager. "The impact of smaller, lighter optics on anything used to focus light, from contact lenses and corneal implants to lasers and solar arrays would be enormous."
Ponting says that the lenses will one day be used to replace faulty or damaged ones in human eyes. They may also make it into orbit—their better optical characteristics mean that they could find a use in communications and earth-observing satellites.
"The lenses made from this process allow finer detail, better color resolution, higher contrast and much lower weight," Ponting says. "This can fill a gap in society that no one has hit yet."

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to find some help here. I've had my Toshiba Thrive 16GB for about a month now. On Sunday I hit the power button to put it to sleep, like I do 20 times a day, but this time it wouldn't wake up again when I hit the power button again. Battery was at 80% so I know it wasn't dead. Not knowing what to do, I held the power button down for about 20 seconds to get it to reset. I've done this once or twice before without ill effects, but this time when it reset, I was greeted by new-device setup questions. The Thrive had been reset to factory defaults. I didn't think this was possible without more user intervention. I read through the docs and can't find what I did wrong to make that happen. I wasn't touching the volume button, by the way. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, -Steve in Phx
That is the "Sleep of Death". It's a common issue on the Thrive and some other devices like the Nook Color. Not much to say because there is no fix. As far as the factory defaults, did it wipe all your data? Are your apps all gone and do you have to reinstall all of them? If so, I hope you backed up everything.
Yes, it wiped out all my apps and data. I did not back it up yet. Luckily I had not paid for any of those apps! I'll have to look up this Sleep of Death. Never heard of it.
Weird, I've never seen a Sleep of Death factory reset a device. That is odd. Are you on the ICS/Android 4.0? Is your Thrive rooted?
Yes, weird. Sad, but weird. It is not rooted. Last week I allowed the Service Station to update it. Now I'm running Android version: 4.0.4
I only had the Thrive about a month and the lockups were after the update. Shortly after I posted this, it stopped booting altogether. I couldn't clear the cache or reset to factory defaults. It continually gave me errors. I had to pay to ship it back to Toshiba for repair and it's supposed to come back to me next week. I'm crossing my fingers....

Teenagers from across the state were in Juneau this week, pushing lawmakers to adopt legislation that promotes local food production and provides better food security for Alaskans.
The Alaska Youth for Environmental Action also handed out the group's annual "Legislators of the Year" awards Thursday at a barbecue across the street from the Capitol building.
On a bright, sunny day in the Capital City – perfect barbecue weather, except for the strong winds gusting down Main Street – the 20 delegates to the AYEA Civics and Conservation Summit huddled around the grill to stay warm.
As fresh Alaska king salmon sizzled nearby, 17-year-old Paige Krichbaum said there should be more food made in the state.
"We import a lot of carrots and potatoes – a lot of root-type of things – that we can make ourselves," Krichbaum said.
Each year, AYEA focuses on four pieces of legislation for the organization's Juneau fly-in. The delegates work in teams to research bills or resolutions, and meet with lawmakers to push the group's legislative agenda.
Krichbaum worked on a resolution that calls for a state working group to explore ways to improve food production in Alaska.
"In the Mat-Su Valley they have a lot of rich soil and such a long day that we can plant a lot of things in there," she said. "So, really local food should be a really big thing here."
Krichbaum is a senior at Bartlett High School in Anchorage. She also works part-time at a bakery, and plans to enter the culinary arts program at the University of Alaska Anchorage after graduation. Local food is very important to her.
"That's really what our thing is here this year, is to promote local food and have a local food future for Alaska," Krichbaum said.
Three of AYEA's legislative priorities this year deal with food issues. The fourth – House Bill 96 – would ban toxic chemicals in children's toys sold in the state. Togiak High School junior William Kohuk promoted that legislation in meetings with lawmakers.
"I'm pretty worried about babies who are teething," Kohuk said. "They're, like, sucking these toxic chemicals, and like sucking them into their bodies."
Kohuk says nearly 20 other states have passed legislation similar to HB 96.
"And why hasn't Alaska banned these toxic chemicals? That's a question I'm going to ask my Representative Bob Herron today," he said.
Five lawmakers received Legislator of the Year awards from AYEA this year. The recipients include Senator Bill Wielechowski and Representatives Paul Seaton, Scott Kawasaki, Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, and Geran Tarr.
Because of a House floor session, only Senator Wielechowski was able to attend the awards presentation. It's the second year in a row the Anchorage Democrat has been honored by the young environmentalists.
"I don't get too many awards from the big corporations," Wielechowski said. "But I'm happy to have them from the kids who are the future of our state."
Wielechowski was given the award for sponsoring Senate Bill 6, an effort to provide more funding to school meal programs in Alaska. It's currently stalled, as the Republican-led Senate majority focuses on oil taxes, energy, and issues like school choice or vouchers.
But Wielechowski says it remains one of his top legislative priorities, and he thinks the teens of Alaska Youth for Environmental Action are great advocates for the bill.
"Great questions, really, really paying attention, really concerned about the future of our state, concerned about feeding kids," Wielechowski said. "And I was very impressed. I've always been very impressed with them."
This is the 13th year AYEA has held its Civics and Conservation Summit in the Capital City. The organization formed in 1998. All of its members are between 13 and 18 years old.

Small Ball, Big Balls
The woman's voice on the other end of the line is strong and perky: "You've reached the national headquarters of the Continental Baseball League," she says, as though you've just dialed a proud, tradition-rich enterprise. But at the moment, the Continental Baseball League doesn't exist apart from its offices on North Central Expressway and its introductory Web site; it's but an idea with a lease. But that isn't stopping CBL president and CEO Ron Baron from insisting that come May 25, 2007, there will be at least six to 10 teams in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and other Southwestern states playing 80 games over 13 weeks during the CBL's inaugural season. The idea is very old-fashioned, according to Baron, who made the announcement yesterday: The teams will play in small towns (85,000-100,000 folks), tickets will be cheap (starting at five bucks), and no player will make more than $10,000. (Not only does it sound like 1932, but it's at 1932 prices.) According to its press release, franchises won't go for more than $100,000, which means Mark Cuban can even afford one. Or a hundred.
And it doesn't sound terribly fly-by-night: Baron's got a national profile as a big-league sports attorney; he's also founder of the Center for Sports Law and Risk Management, Inc., and co-editor of From the Gym to the Jury. Also on board are former journalist and Chicago Cubs media relations man Bob Ibach and ex-Los Angeles Dodger and New York Yankee Jay Johnstone, the former American League Rookie of the Year (40 years ago, for the California Angels). It's doubtful there would be a CBL team in the area; there are already several minor-league teams, including the Fort Worth Cats, the Frisco RoughRiders and the Texas Rangers. --Robert Wilonsky

Dining out is a great way to give your oven a well-deserved night off after embarrassing it by making it stare at all those naked chickens. Get out of the kitchen with this Groupon.
$16.50 for $30 Worth of Steaks, Seafood, Burgers, Pizza, and Pasta
The massive menu includes a 6-ounce, fire-grilled sirloin steak topped with mesquite-grilled shrimp and creamy Jack Daniel's sauce ($18.99), Atlantic salmon baked in a wood-burning oven and finished with a honey-maple glaze ($15.99 for dinner; $10.29 for lunch), and a half-pound ranch-raised bison burger crowned with lettuce, tomato, and mayo ($11.49 for dinner; $9.49 for lunch). See the dinner and lunch menus.
Big Bear Lodge
Big Bear Lodge's culinary team can't light up a campfire indoors, but they do the next best thing by preparing their dishes over open flames. Inside, diners instantly catch whiffs of the six thin-crust pizzas chefs cook in a wood-fired oven, herb-garlic chicken rotating on a wood-fired rotisserie, or grain-fed aged Angus steaks searing on a wood-burning grill. More meat dominates the menu, from platters of pan-seared and oven-broiled Atlantic salmon, gulf shrimp, and bay scallops to bison, elk, and ostrich burgers made with grass- and grain-fed cuts free of antibiotics and hormones.
The dishes all pair with Big Bear Lodge's selection of bottled and draft beer brewed in-state, as well as thermoses full of alcohol-spiked ciders, cocoas, and coffees. There are nonalcoholic ways to keep warm too, from munching on plates of freshly baked chocolate-chip cookies to cozying up amid the restaurant's log cabin decor. Beneath the dining room's honey-hued beams, nostalgic wall collages pay homage to the institution of camping, reminding guests of the ghost stories, s'mores, and forest-ranger ambitions they once had.

No Sex? No Problem: French ELLE's Sophie Fontanel Talks Abstinence
Most Popular
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below | For someone who has been celibate for the majority of her adult life, Sophie Fontanel sure is good at writing about sex. The Art of Sleeping Alone, the candid, funny memoir she penned about her years of abstinence, became an instant bestseller in France and is now arriving in American bookstores. Here, Fontanel, a novelist and editor-at-large for ELLE France, dishes on her decision to put her private life up for public consumption. What made you decide to finally publish your story? I have no fear anymore—I'm 50 years old now, and mature enough not to have a problem with saying how I feel. I realized it was important for me to write this book in particular because I've noticed that many other women believe they have to lie and act as if their sex life is so rewarding when that's simply not the case—in actuality they are bored or unfulfilled. |
Obviously, there are many women who are making love and having a lot of fun—but theirs is a different story. There have certainly been times in my life when I've had great relationships and been very happy. But my decision to be alone, to refuse to have sex in a mechanical way, was a reaction to experiences of making love when you really feel that it's not the right thing for you, or you feel like you're pretending that it isn't a big deal for you when that's not the case.
Do you think your experience particularly resonates with French women?
I think that the issues I have faced are universal. Perhaps it's worse in France because we're supposed to be so gifted in seduction, but I think that in general, it's very rare to feel truly free when you're a woman, even in free countries. Our freedom is spoiled by this idea that if we are single, we're going to die. Knowing how to live alone and be happy being alone is very important.
What was it like to have your private life become the subject of public scrutiny and debate when your book was first published?
The day after the book was published in France, I was invited to a big broadcast in Paris, and the journalists were talking to me as if I were a strange animal in a zoo—as if I were the only one in the world who was not making love. But within a week, my book became a bestseller, and the attitude totally changed. Everybody realized that I was actually a spokeswoman for a surprising number of people.
In your memoir, you discuss the frustration of feeling disconnected during your early sexual experiences, and also during the years you spent dating. Were you surprised at how many other people have admitted to sharing the same sentiments?
At first—but I think there is a gap between dreams and reality for so many women today. The problem is not that women are getting hurt in relationships—love and relationships are always painful. The problem is that the disappointment now occurs right from the outset. You meet a man, and with the first SMS text, you're already hurt. You're disillusioned very quickly, and it's not because men are awful—it's because something has been destroyed in our link with men, through technology and the way that dating culture has evolved. Women still want to be cherished and feel a connection, and that seems to elude them from the outset.
Do you see choosing solitude as a form of empowerment rather than withdrawal?
Yes. I think that, whether for a short or a long period, solitude is very important and can cultivate a great deal of strength. All that love you are not making is being channeled into you. If and when you do finally meet a man who pleases you, all that desire will still be there, ready and waiting—so you shouldn't be afraid of taking a pause. I've found that the main misconception about sex is that the more you do it, the better you are. Why does our society think that we have to make love so often? Clearly, there's something to be said for the fact that so many people are relating to my story—people who desire another kind of narrative than the one that's been laid out for us. Sometimes we have the right to stop making love, and to know that it doesn't have to translate into a loveless life.

Tomasz, this isn't parody at all. The clipmaker made several videos based on real video clips by other musicians.
So it's not a Russian version of 'Pretty Woman'. It's just a song with a video based on the Roxette clip.
The group, Belyj Oryol (White Eagle), was very popular in the mid 90's. And this song was quite popular in 1997. It's called 'Ya kuplyu tebe novuyu zhizn' ("I'll buy you a new life'). So as you can see it has something in common with the plot of the 'Pretty Woman' film.

Following the disaster in London . . .
The Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston.
The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".
In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do.
Please will you also email this to people you know, it won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc

Authors and Artists for Young Adults on Amy Lowell
An oft-quoted remark attributed to poet Amy Lowell applies to both her determined personality and her sense of humor: "God made me a business woman," Lowell is reported to have quipped, "and I made myself a poet." During a career that spanned just over a dozen years, she wrote and published over 650 poems, yet scholars cite Lowell's tireless efforts to awaken American readers to contemporary trends in poetry as her more influential contribution to literary history. Following her untimely death in 1925, a collection of Lowell's work, published posthumously as What's O'Clock", was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926. But a shift in poetic fashions all but obliterated the memory of Lowell's poetic achievements. The reasons for that eclipse lie both in the poet and in her audience. Lowell was very prolific and very uneven. Because so much of her poetry was bad, it was easy to judge...

Nice shot, interesting subjects. However, I don't care for the crop at the top of her head, nor for the headless woman in the background. Maybe a wider angle from a lower vantage point would have worked? Very nice colors and exposure.

Excellent, I love the way we can see all the stuff in her basket.
It would be even better if we could see the rest of her feet.

I have to really beware of critiques with these marginal internet-cafe monitors Antoni, but the image looks a little dark. Still a nice keeper.

Nice composition and good colours, the pose of the woman and her expressions are very nice.

Hello Antoni, i really like the framing like that, especially the headless woman, who give me more imagine, very great.

**New to Market** Bottom Painted September 2016**
Proven to be one of Offshores most popular models the 48 Sedan is noted for it's massive bridge and deck space. Experienced cruisers find the 48 to be attractive, practical and very capable. The interior features the master stateroom all the way forward with a island queen berth, guest stateroom is mid-ship port side with upper and lower berths. There are two heads cleverly separated by a shared shower stall. The salon and U-shaped galley area are conveniently located on the same level to allow easy access and function ability. The upscale salon has varnished teak trim and paneling throughout. While "Bella Rose" is equipped with air conditioning the boat can be ventilated by sliding cabin windows not commonly found on late model motor yachts or sportfishers. The flybridge is accessed from either a salon stair case or from a cockpit ladder. Large covered weather decks make access fore and aft easy and safe in rough weather conditions.
