Reader: Bad Daddy's meets every requirement for a typical, bland burger chain
Bad Daddy's has a icense to make big burgers.
Lori Midson
Colorado's first Bad Daddy's Burger Bar opened Monday in Cherry Creek, in the former home of Tony P's. The chain was founded by Frank Scibelli, who opened the company's first Bad Daddy's in North Carolina in 2007; this location is a partnership between Scibelli and Boyd Hoback, the president and CEO of Denver-based Good Times. "We were looking for another growth concept -- we looked at dozens around the country -- and we really liked what we saw in Bad Daddy's, in particular that it's a chef-driven restaurant," Hoback told Lori Midson. "It has management that wanted to stay involved, and because of its past success, we believe it has the ability to do a lot of sales."

But is that a good thing? Says WillieStortz:
It looks like they have it all: old movie posters on the wall, random license plates, distressed wood behind the bar, wacky crazy burger choices and the ultra trendy garage door.
Yep, they have hit every requirement for the typical, bland, boring, burger chain, sports bar.
But then, Bad Daddy's also has big burgers like this:

If the burger is good, do the surroundings really matter? How do you think Bad Daddy's will do in Cherry Creek?

In an article for the BBC Scotland news website, Deputy Justice Minister Hugh Henry explains how the legislation will work for parents and children.
Family law in Scotland is changing to keep up with the way we live our lives today.
In December 2005, the Scottish Parliament passed the Family Law (Scotland) Act and that act has become law.
Changes cover a range of issues, such as parental responsibilities and rights, marriage, divorce, domestic abuse and introducing legal safeguards for cohabiting couples and their children.
I want to be clear that these changes will not make divorce easy or undermine marriage.
But they will reduce the separation periods which must be served before a divorce can be granted.
Divorce is never easy and when a marriage breaks down it serves no-one's interests to postpone the point at which they can all move on with their lives.
Our guiding principle has been the best interests of Scotland's children.
One of the most important reforms serves to strengthen the bond between fathers and their children.
From Thursday a father whose name appears on his child's birth certificate will automatically have parental responsibilities and rights - whether he is married to the child's mother or not.
This is not about giving adults rights over children, but rather recognising that marital status is a decision made by parents not by children.
For cohabiting couples distribution of property following relationship breakdown, or the death of a partner, was previously left to the common law - with all its inherent variability.
But the absence of systematic regulation sat uncomfortably alongside the increasing number of cohabiting couples - leaving a significant number of Scotland's children living in cohabiting-couple families vulnerable.
The act therefore introduces a set of limited rights for cohabiting couples when their relationship ends.
But making changes to the law is not enough.
We have also worked with support services to develop a range of non-legislative measures to complement our law reforms.
For example, we have launched an information campaign to advise people of the changes that are coming into force.
Information booklets are being distributed widely through Citizens Advice Bureaux, libraries and local support organisations and are available to view at www.scotland.gov.uk/familylaw.
We are also providing additional funding to the national Family Support Services to promote joined up working at both local and national level.
But perhaps most significantly, we have introduced Parenting Agreements for Scotland and a Charter for Grandchildren.
The Parenting Agreement pack is designed to help separating parents put aside their differences and focus on their children's needs when deciding the arrangements for their future care.
The pack guides parents through some of the difficult decisions that will need to be made and highlights some of the issues that they might want to think about.
In addition the Charter for Grandchildren highlights the important role grandparents and the wider family can play in a child's life and how during difficult times, they may be a source of support and stability.
But our work does not stop here.
Next we will be commissioning research into post-separation contact arrangements to examine the effectiveness of contact orders.
Once we have a clear picture of the Scottish position we can start to design improvements.
We are also working with the courts to develop a project to pilot the appointment of Family Contact Facilitators who will contribute to the resolution of disputed contact cases and contribute to developing ideas for reducing the incidence of breaches.
Taken together I am confident that these measures will offer Scotland's families, and in particular Scotland's children, the framework needed to support strong and stable family units.

Grandville Costco Leads Nation In Sales Of...?
Did you know? Costco in Grandville leads the nation in sales of GRADUATION CAKES? It's true! Last weekend alone, they did over 1000 cakes! And, it looks like that number will probably hold up for the next 2 weeks.
UPDATE. I received an email that I wanted to share with you.
Hi Tommy,
I work for Costco in Grandville. I am actually one of the 3 bakers in the bakery. Your info about out bakery has been going around Facebook and I want to say how cool it is for the recognition! We work very hard and around the clock! I also wanted to share these few pics with you. 1 picture is the stack of order forms for 1 day, and the others I took Saturday morning before I left. The cakes in the pictures are only the ones ordered from 9:30-12 if that gives you an idea! Thanks again for letting people know how awesome we are!!!

Now, in response to von Blow's request, he wheeled his army south-eastwards towards the Oise.
There was never any mistake about the Oise, as a matter of fact.
In the face of these increasing numbers the French advance along the valley of the Oise was held.
From a wilding noted in 1862 by the cur of Breteuil, Oise, Fr.
This town is built in a very gallant place, has a noble bridge over the Oise, and is well refreshed with fountains.
I did sing to them the song La Nonette sings as it goes on its way to Oise.
By talking with the men who drive their horses upon the towpath, it is easy to guess that the Oise is born in Belgium.
Oise, a river which flows into the Seine, from the north, not far below Paris.
He built himself a house at Auvers on the Oise, which was decorated with paintings by Corot and other artist-friends.
I was now in the Spray and on the Oise in the Arethusa at one and the same time.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
Is there a problem if I use files named using Cyrillic and not the Latin alphabet. For example if I want to optimize for Russian results and if I name a file :
is there going to be a problem with the indexing of this page?
The good news is that for words that do not have an equivalent you will find that it can provide matched results, e.g.
ĘÎÍÂĹÍÖČß >> [google.ru...]
I suppose it comes down to how people will search for your information, will they search in english even though it's not their first language?
You should try and search for a phonetic translation of Russian letters into Latin chars. I know it exists for other Slavic languages that are written in Latin characters.
An example is the Serbo-Croatian language:
Another thing:
for example if I want to optimize for
is there going to help if I name the file:
Am I going to have more problems if I name it:
than advantages?
(the host may make problems. for example may don't have cyrillic or something)
Thanks for the posts you guys,
Your question might be answered looking at this link:
As you can see, the search query "istoria" (history) is highlighted in the URI. This means you can also optimize for Russian chars in URI's.
You might want to use small chars though. It seems like capital letters are not highlighted.
I have made an example using "stranam" (state) as example for small chars:
On another note though. If I were you, I would optimize my website for folder URI's only and hide the file extensions - like you see in the above example.
If you consistently use for example: www.domain.ext/folder/folder/ , it would become a lot easier to change the underlying technology without Google and other SE having to re-index all of your changed URI's.

Once upon a time, ladies stored their essentials in a little waist sack tied under their clothing (sort of an early ancestor of the fanny pack) and accessible through slits in their skirts. Around 1800, thinner, silkier fabrics and slimmer cuts came into vogue, and women could no longer hide the bulging sacks around their midsections. The solution? They began carrying their belongings in small pocketbooks instead.
Why Is Underwear Nicknamed "Drawers"?
In the 16th century, drawers became a common term for both men's and women's underpants. Made of linen, the items were no-frills and looked more or less interchangeable (this being well before Victoria ever had a secret; decorative lace trim started appearing on the garments only in the middle of the 19th century). Most likely, underwear earned this distinctly unsexy epithet because it describes the way that people put on their unmentionables―drawing them up and over the lower part of the body.

Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 3 years ago
Urbik has been moved to starter at right guard in place of a struggling Cyril Richardson. Urbik received 100 percent of the snaps in the Bills' Week 8 win over the Jets.
Coach Doug Marrone has a trio of huge rookie linemen he's been trying to make as part of the long-term plan, but Richardson was starting to get overwhelmed. Not that the veteran Urbik was an immediate answer - as badly as the Bills destroyed the Jets, they had troubles with the run game again. That said, the team won and Kyle Orton was for the most part pretty well protected, so we doubt Urbik will be coming out of the starting lineup any time soon.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 3 years ago
Coach Doug Marrone confirmed the Bills' starting right guard job is up for grabs.
Kraig Urbik is the incumbent, while Chris Hairston is his main competition. Hairston can play any position on the line besides center and is returning after missing all of last season with an undisclosed illness. Urbik is scheduled to count $3.375 million against the cap. He graded out as a top-20 guard at PFF in 2013, receiving positive marks both in the run and pass games. If LT Cordy Glenn is sidelined into the season, Hairston is more likely to fill in there.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 3 years ago
The Bills aren't expected to release RG Kraig Urbik.
Urbik is being pushed by Chris Hairston for the starting job, but his roster spot appears safe because of money. Urbik inked a four-year, $15 million extension in December of 2012 and is set to count over $3 million against the cap. The Bills would have to eat $2.1 million of that by cutting him. Urbik and RT Erik Pears were a weak pair on the right side of Buffalo's line last season. Pears' job is in grave danger. Unlike Urbik, he can be released without a dead money hit.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills signed RG Kraig Urbik to a four-year, $15 million contract extension.
Urbik was set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, but Buffalo locked up their versatile 27-year-old right guard after he posted back-to-back solid seasons. Urbik has started 24 games over the last two years and grades out as one of Pro Football Focus' top-25 guards for 2012 heading into Week 16. Andy Levitre, Buffalo's left guard, is also eligible for unrestricted free agency after the season.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills RG Kraig Urbik (foot) is listed as questionable on the Week 10 injury report.
Urbik practiced on a limited basis this week and is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Patriots. He missed three games earlier this season due to injury. With Erik Pears (hip, injured reserve) out for the year, Chris Hairston will make his second straight start at right tackle.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills RG Kraig Urbik is expected to return from his ankle injury in Week 9.
Shelved since Week 4, Urbik used the Week 8 bye to nurse himself back to full health. His return should provide a boost for the Bills' running game.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills RG Kraig Urbik, LT Cordy Glenn, and RG Chad Rinehart did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
The Bills offensive line has been just ravaged with injuries this season. They're now extremely thin at right guard with Urbik's replacement Colin Brown on I.R., and Rinehart also dealing with a calf injury. The Bills did sign veteran G/T Reggie Wells, who has not played an offensive snap since Week 17 of 2010. The situation is a concern for Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller owners.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills RG Kraig Urbik has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain.
Coach Chan Gailey expects both Urbik and LT Cordy Glenn (ankle) to miss this week's game against the 49ers' crushing front seven. Urbik is wearing a protective boot and will likely sit out Week 6 at Arizona as well.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills coach Chan Gailey expects RG Kraig Urbik and LT Cordy Glenn to both be out "awhile" after suffering ankle injuries in Week 4.
Buffalo has experienced and largely capable replacements in Chad Rinehart and Chris Hairston, although they now are starved for depth and might not be able to withstand another O-Line injury. Glenn, in particular, had been playing extremely well as a rookie on Ryan Fitzpatrick's blind side. The losses won't make life easy in the Bills' defense in Week 5 against the 49ers.
Kraig Urbik MIA (11) 5 years ago
Bills re-signed restricted free agent G/C Kraig Urbik to a one-year, $1.26 million contract.
Urbik, 26, made 13 starts last season, opening the year at right guard before kicking inside to replace injured C Eric Wood. Pro Football Focus graded Urbik as a terrific interior pass blocker, but he'll have to improve immensely as a run blocker in order to keep his job. Urbik is more of a swingman type.

2011 Rookie Of The Year
It kinda sucks that it took it an out of town publication like L.A. Weekly to put a lot of people in Miami and beyond on to SpaceGhostPurrp. The young Carol City native took the internet by storm and really commanded a strong internet following like none I've seen in recent years. Like he really has a cult following. His hypnotizing flows, interesting choice of production sounds and sound effects AND the most unique name in hip-hop – all played a part in making SpaceGhostPurrp that dude this year. And he's only getting started. Now with the A$AP Rocky crew on his side and tons of opportunity at arm's reach, ain't nowhere to go up…

Is the Last Comic Standing Really Funny?
Last Comic Standing is Josh Blue!
It's not that you need a PhD in the psychology of humor to write about such television programs, but it is tough to capture or encapsulate the appeal of really good comedic shows.
|I mean, if I could translate with any accuracy and effectiveness the likes of, say, Seinfeld, with its hallmark repetition of lines for comic effect or its relatedness of events, instances, and issues the characters share, for example, then I would be ON the show…or WRITING it.
So it goes with a blockbuster entertainment show like Last Comic Standing.
Still, I feel impelled to sing the praises of the efforts to bring back some damned levity (if not outright raucous laughter) to our pitifully stressful, overworked, overburdened, overwhelmed lives. (more…)

Betting at Bet365 ON LATE GOALS (76th – 90th MINUTES)
Sports betting at Bet365 strategy of FHM
Betting at Bet365 on late goals (76th -90 minutes) – Sports betting at Bet365 strategy of FHM My strategy for football betting at Bet365 is relatively easy, works very well for some time and looks like this:
I. Search Games, in which a high goal difference or many goals will be expected. These are mostly games in which there is a clear favorite with a 3-way win – ratio of less than 1.3. (Helpful in the selection are of course special Football Statistics pages).
II. Set uniform (select as many as possible! -> Risk-spreading) for all selected games on the additional bet at Bet365 "Last Match Goal in 76-90 minutes." This bet (average ratio = 1.93) is offered at almost all major games.
Result: The bets at Bet365 are won according to its own statistics in 59.26% of cases. Despite the lost 40.74% still results in a considerable return of 14.89% (net profit [ total income minus entire investment ] based on the capital employed)! Then, when the use of each bet because of the growing capital stock is also increased continuously, can achieve considerable prize money in the long run …
A common reason for the winning percentage of just under 60%: The Geek is often weaker towards the end and the favorite then easily achieved in the last 15 minutes still a goal. IMPORTANT: Use this strategy only for single bets and never for combinations or system bets – otherwise it is guaranteed to go wrong … Sooo, now it should be possible for anyone to multiply his money slowly but surely! I hope to have helped you.
All-time success – no matter what strategy!
PS: All numerical data are of course subject to change. In my bets they have occurred over a longer period with careful observation and evaluation so. In other betting at Bet365 enthusiasts more or less minor deviations could in the long run.

Genetic variants that affect estrogen activity may influence the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined the relation of polymorphisms in the gene for the estrogen receptor-beta (ESR2) to the risk of AD in women with Down syndrome.
Two hundred and forty-nine women with Down syndrome, 31–70 years of age and nondemented at baseline, were followed at 14- to 18-month intervals for 4 years. Women were genotyped for 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ESR2 gene, and their association with AD incidence was examined.
Among postmenopausal women, we found a 2-fold increase in the risk of AD for women carrying 1 or 2 copies of the minor allele at 3 SNPs in introns seven (rs17766755) and six (rs4365213 and rs12435857) and 1 SNP in intron eight (rs4986938) of ESR2.
These findings support a role for estrogen and its major brain receptors in modulating susceptibility to AD in women.
Experimental and epidemiologic studies have shown that estrogen has neuroprotective effects and that loss of estrogen after menopause may contribute to the cognitive declines associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in women [1]. The neuroprotective mechanisms of estrogen include increases in cholinergic activity [2,3,4], antioxidant activity [5] and protection against the neurotoxic effects of beta amyloid [6]. Therefore, factors that influence estrogen activity may also influence vulnerability to AD, including an allelic variation in genes within the estrogen biosynthesis and estrogen receptor pathways.
Estrogen exerts many of its effects through the activation of nuclear receptors which are expressed in multiple tissues [7]. In the brain, two estrogen receptors, ER-α and ER-β, encoded by two different genes, ESR1 and ESR2, have been identified and have been found in regions affected by AD, including the hippocampus, basal forebrain and amygdala [8,9]. ER-α and ER-β differ in tissue distribution [10], with ER-β expression being more predominant than ER-α in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, anterior olfactory nucleus, dorsal raphe, substantia nigra, midbrain ventral tegmental area and cerebellum [8,11,12], suggesting that ER-β may play a role in memory and the risk for AD [13]. Both ER-α and ER-β appear to have a role in the preservation of cholinergic activity [14,15], and ER-β may mediate the effects of estrogen on hippocampal synaptic plasticity [13]. While a number of studies have examined the relation of AD to variants in ESR1[16,17,18,19,20,21,22], or to genes in the estrogen biosynthetic pathway [23,24,25,26,27], fewer studies have investigated variants in the ESR2 gene and the findings have been less consistent [28,29,30,31,32,33].
Women with Down syndrome (DS) have an early onset of menopause [34] and a high risk for AD, with onset of dementia 10–20 years earlier than women in the general population [35,36,37]. Brain levels of beta amyloid peptides are high from an early age [38], likely due, at least in part, to the triplication and overexpression of the gene for amyloid precursor protein located on chromosome 21 [39]. Women with DS with earlier onset of menopause have an earlier onset of AD than women with later onset of menopause [40], and postmenopausal women with low levels of bioavailable estradiol have both an earlier onset and an increased cumulative incidence of AD than postmenopausal women with high levels of bioavailable estradiol [41]. These findings suggest that reductions in estrogen following menopause may contribute to the cascade of pathological processes leading to AD in this high-risk population. Women with DS carrying the P allele at PvuII in ESR1 have a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of AD compared with those carrying the p allele [22]. In this study, we examined the relationships between SNPs in ESR2 and the risk for AD in a community-based cohort of women with DS.
The initial cohort included a community-based sample of 279 women with DS. Of these 279 women, 252 (90.3%) agreed to provide a blood sample and were genotyped for ESR2. All individuals were 30 years of age or older at study onset and resided in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or Connecticut. In all cases a family member or correspondent provided informed consent (for blood sampling and genotyping included) with participants providing assent. The participation rate was 74.6%. The distribution of the level of intellectual disability and residential placement did not differ between participants and those who did not participate. Recruitment, informed consent and study procedures were approved by the Institutional Review Boards of Columbia University Medical Center and the New York State Institute for Basic Research in Developmental Disabilities.
Assessments were repeated at 14- to 18-month intervals over five cycles of data collection and included evaluations of cognition and functional abilities, behavioral/psychiatric conditions and health status. Cognitive function was evaluated with a test battery designed for use with individuals with DS varying widely in their levels of intellectual functioning, as described previously [42]. Structured interviews were conducted with caregivers to collect information on changes in cognition, function, adaptive behavior and medical status. The past and current medical records of all participants were reviewed.
Menopausal status was ascertained through menstrual charts in medical records, by medical record review, interviews with caregivers and family members and a survey of primary care physicians and gynecologists. The medical records included menstrual charts documenting the date and duration of menses. The correlations between age at menopause ascertained from the different sources were substantial, suggesting that ascertainment of age at menopause was reliable. The correlation between age at menopause ascertained from medical records (including menstrual charts) and from the physician survey was 0.99, the correlation ascertained from medical records and from informant interviews was 0.77 and the correlation ascertained from the physician survey and from informant interviews was 0.80. The mean difference in age at menopause from the different sources ranged from 0.21 years for the difference ascertained from medical charts and the physician survey to 0.38 years for the difference ascertained from medical charts and informant interviews. We used a consensus age at menopause, with greater weight given to that ascertained from medical records, followed by that from the physician survey, then that from informant interviews. In keeping with convention, we classified age at natural menopause as the age at the last menstrual period preceding cessation of menses for 12 months, in the absence of known causes of amenorrhea (e.g. surgery). The median age at menopause was 46.0 years (range 35–52). We were able to ascertain menopausal status for 248 of the 252 participants with ESR2 genotypes (99%). The 4 women with unknown menopausal status were excluded from all analyses. Among the 248 participants with known menopausal status, 146 were postmenopausal, 78 were premenopausal and 21 were perimenopausal. Three women had never menstruated and were excluded, leaving 245 women for analysis.
The classification of dementia status, dementia subtype and age at onset was determined during clinical consensus conferences where information from all available sources was reviewed. Classifications were made blind to ESR2 genotype or information on menopausal status or hormone levels. We classified participants into 2 groups, following the recommendations of the AAMR-IASSID Working Group for the Establishment of Criteria for the Diagnosis of Dementia in Individuals with Developmental Disability [43]. Participants were classified as nondemented if they were without cognitive or functional decline, or if they showed some cognitive and/or functional decline that was not of significant magnitude to meet dementia criteria (n = 173). Participants were classified as demented if they showed a substantial and consistent decline over the course of follow-up (of a duration of at least one year) and if they had no other medical or psychiatric conditions that might mimic dementia (n = 72). The age at meeting the criteria for dementia was used to estimate the age at the onset of dementia. Only participants with probable or possible AD were included in the analysis. Of the 146 postmenopausal women, 79 were nondemented and 67 had possible or probable AD.
Women who provided a blood sample were karyotyped. We were able to karyotype all but 12 of the 245 participants in this study (95.1%). We found low-level mosaicism (3–15%) in 6 women (2.6%). Their ages were 51, 51, 56, 58, 61 and 68 years. One 43-year-old woman had a high level of mosaicism and mosaic DS was noted in her medical chart. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes, using the FlexiGene DNA kit (Qiagen). Isolation of DNA and genotyping were performed blind to the dementia status of the participant. SNPs reported to be associated with estrogen-related disorders (breast cancer, osteoporosis) and prior studies of AD were selected. Additional SNPs were selected to provide coverage of the gene. We analyzed 13 SNPs in ESR2, 12 of which are within introns of the gene, and the remaining 1 in exon nine (see table table2).2). SNPs were genotyped using TaqMan® PCR assays (Applied Biosystems) with PCR cycling conditions recommended by the manufacturer, and by PreventionGenetics using proprietary array tape technology. Accuracy of the genotyping (>97%) was verified by including duplicate DNA samples, by comparing the TaqMan and array tape data with the results of restriction digestion polymorphisms/restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) for several of the SNPs, and by testing for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotyping was carried out by PCR/RFLP analysis using HhaI (CfoI) digestion of an APOE genomic PCR product spanning the polymorphic (cys/arg) sites at codons 112 and 158, followed by acrylamide gel electrophoresis to document the restriction fragment sizes [44]. Participants were classified according to the presence or absence of at least one APOE 4 allele.
Potential confounders included the presence of an APOE 4 allele, level of intellectual disability, body mass index (BMI) and ethnicity. Level of intellectual disability was classified as mild-to-moderate (IQ 35–70) or severe-to-profound (IQ <34), based on IQ scores obtained before the onset of AD. BMI was measured at each evaluation; its baseline measure was used in the analysis and was included as a continuous variable. Ethnicity was categorized as white or nonwhite.
Prior to association analysis, we tested all SNPs for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium using the Haploview program [45] and all were found to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. SNPs were analyzed using a dominant model, in which participants homozygous for the common allele were used as the reference group. In preliminary analyses, the χ2 test (or the Fisher exact test when any cell had <5 subjects) was employed to assess the association between AD and SNP genotypes as well as other possible risk factors for AD including ethnicity, level of intellectual disability and the presence of an APOE 4 allele. Analysis of variance was used to examine BMI, age and AD status. We used a Cox proportional hazards model to assess the relationship between ESR2 genotypes and age at the onset of AD, adjusting for ethnicity, BMI, level of intellectual disability and the presence of an APOE 4 allele. The time to event variable was the age at onset for participants who developed AD and the age at the last assessment for participants who remained nondemented throughout the follow-up period. Because a set of 3 contiguous SNPs that span 7.8 kb – rs17766755, rs4365213 and rs12435857 – were significantly associated with AD in postmenopausal women, we performed a haplotype analysis to identify haplotype(s) that may harbor a susceptibility variant(s) as implemented in the PLINK program [46]. For nearly all individuals, we were able to identify the most likely haplotypes from the genotype data with a high degree of certainty (i.e. the posterior probability approaching 1.0 for most cases with the rest exceeding probability >0.7). Subsequently, we used the estimated haplotypes as a 'super-locus' (analogous to a microsatellite marker) to perform a Cox proportional hazards model.
The mean age of participants at baseline was 48.9 years (range 31.4–70.1 years) and 88% of the cohort was white. The mean length of follow-up was 4.2 years. Table Table11 presents the demographic characteristics of the participants according to AD status. For the total group at baseline, participants with AD were significantly older than nondemented participants (53.9 vs. 46.8 years) and were more likely to have a severe or profound level of intellectual disability (52.8 vs. 35.3%), but did not differ in the distribution of ethnicity, the frequency of the APOE 4 allele or mean level of BMI. The mean age at onset of AD was 54.7 ± 5.1 years. Among postmenopausal women, participants with AD were significantly older than women who remained nondemented throughout the follow-up period (54.3 vs. 51.7 years), but did not differ from nondemented women in the distribution of level of intellectual disability, ethnicity, the frequency of the APOE 4 allele or mean BMI.
Table Table22 shows the locations and minor allele frequencies of ESR2 SNPs for Hapmap whites at the NCBI SNP website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP) and for our cohort of women with DS. Allele frequencies were similar in women with DS to those observed in women without DS in the general population. Table Table33 presents the distributions of ESR2 genotypes and the association between ESR2 SNPs and the hazard ratio (HR) for AD among the total group and among postmenopausal women only. In the total group, women who carried 1 or 2 copies of the A allele at rs17766755 were significantly more likely to develop AD, after adjusting for age, ethnicity, level of intellectual disability, BMI and the presence of an APOE 4 allele (HR = 1.8, 95% CI 1.0–3.2) (table (table33).
Because there were only 5 cases of AD among premenopausal or perimenopausal women, we repeated the analyses, restricting the sample to postmenopausal women. Among postmenopausal women, those who carried at least 1 copy of the T allele at rs4986938 were twice as likely to develop AD as those with the CC genotype. Three contiguous SNPs located approximately 16kb away from rs4986938 were significantly associated with AD. Specifically, carriers of the A allele at rs17766755, the G allele at rs4365213 and the A allele at rs12435857 had a 2.0-fold increase in the hazard rate compared with women carrying no copies of these alleles (HR for rs4986938 (CT or TT) = 1.9, 95% CI 1.01–3.4; HR for rs17766755 (AG or AA) = 2.3, 95% CI 1.2–4.3; HR for rs4365213 (AG or GG) = 1.9, 95% CI 1.03–3.8; HR for rs12435857 (AG or AA) = 2.1, 95% CI 1.1–4.2) (table (table3).3). These results were unchanged when the analysis was repeated among those without an APOE 4 allele (data not shown).
We first computed the most likely haplotypes for each individual, and then used the haplotypes as a 'super-locus' to estimate HRs, controlling for potential confounders. Our haplotype analysis using rs17766755-rs4365213-rs12435857 revealed that the carriers of haplotype AGA had an earlier onset and were twice as likely as noncarriers to develop AD after adjusting for the presence of an APOE 4 allele level of intellectual disability, ethnicity and BMI (HR = 2.15, 95% CI 1.13–4.11) (fig. (fig.11).
Four SNPs in ESR2 were associated with an increased risk of AD, independent of APOE genotype. Among postmenopausal women, those who carried at least 1 copy of the T allele at rs4986938 were twice as likely to develop AD than those who carried the CC genotype. In addition, approximately 16kb away from rs4986938, a set of 3 contiguous SNPs was significantly associated with AD; these 3 SNPs were located within one haplotype block spanning approximately 7.8 kb (fig. (fig.2).2). Women with DS who carried the A allele at rs17766755, the G allele at rs4365213 or the A allele at rs12435857 had a 2-fold increased risk of AD, compared with women without these risk alleles. A haplotype-based Cox proportional hazards model continued to support that AGA carriers had a 2-fold risk of developing AD after adjusting for covariates.
The association of these SNPs with an increased risk of AD was seen only among postmenopausal women. Among premenopausal or perimenopausal women, there were 5 who developed AD, 4 who were perimenopausal at baseline and 1 who was still menstruating at baseline. The mean age of the women who were premenopausal or perimenopausal was 42.9 (± 4.0) years; many of these women carrying high-risk alleles may have been too young to develop AD, attenuating the estimate of risk in the total group.
Polymorphisms or haplotypes in ESR2 have been associated with an increased risk for a number of estrogen-related disorders, including osteoporosis [47,48,49,50,51], breast cancer, ovarian cancer [52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60] and polycystic ovarian disease [61]. ER-β is found in high concentrations in the hippocampus [51], and its activation has been linked to synaptic plasticity and hippocampal-dependent cognition [13,62]. Ovariectomized female Esr2–/– knockout mice perform worse than wild-type mice in a spatial learning task and fail to show improvements in learning and memory when treated with estradiol [13,62], suggesting that the effects of estrogen on hippocampal plasticity and memory may be mediated through ER-β [13]. ER-β can couple to rapid signaling events and is required for estrogen-mediated neuroprotection [63]. Thus, variants in ESR2 may influence cognition via a number of different pathways, including modification of hormone levels, changes in gene activity or changes in gene expression. However, specific pathways through which SNP activity modifies receptor function have not yet been identified.
Previous studies of the relationships of polymorphisms in ESR2 to the risk of AD have found a number of different SNPs to be associated with both increased and decreased risk. In 2 studies, SNPs in ESR2 (rs1256065, rs1271573 and rs1256043) were associated with an increased risk for cognitive impairment or AD in women but not in men [29,64], or were associated with an increased risk in men but not in women (rs1255998) [64]. Another study found a cystosine-adenine repeat in ESR2 that was more strongly protective in men than in women [28], and the Health ABC study found 1 SNP on ESR2 (rs1256030) that was associated with the development of cognitive impairment among both men and women [64]. A diplotype including rs4986938 in the 3′ UTR region of ESR2 has been associated with the risk for AD in both men and women [31], and rs4986938 has been associated with vascular dementia [32]. Our finding of a 2-fold increase in the risk of developing AD among women carrying rs4986938 is consistent with prior studies [30,31], but we did not see strong associations with rs1256065 or rs1256043, as seen previously [29,33]. We have identified 3 new SNPS of ESR2, rs17766755, rs4365213 and rs12435857, in introns seven (rs17766755) and six (rs4365213 and rs12435857). These SNPs are in high linkage disequilibrium and are associated with a 2-fold increased risk of AD.
Our study points to the role of genetic variants that influence estrogen receptor activity in modifying the risk for AD. Our results support and extend findings from prior studies suggesting that variants in ESR2 modify the risk for AD, both in the general population and in this high-risk group of women with DS. With the exception of rs1255998, all SNPs examined were intronic: rs1255998 is located in exon nine, but does not involve a coding change. The 12 additional SNPs were tested in noncoding (intron) regions and therefore they may not be the critical location of the pathological variants, but rather serve as markers for the critical region. Analysis of additional polymorphisms influencing estrogen biosynthetic pathways and estrogen receptor activity with additional and denser SNP coverage and correlative studies in brain cells will be useful to determine the contribution of estrogen variants to cognitive aging and a risk for AD.

I have a Milt Sparks VM II for my .45. It's a real good holster, and I have no complaints with the holster itself. However, I carry at 3:00 and the holster tends to migrate back to towards 4:00, which then makes the base of the gun's grip stick out when I bend or sit down.
I thought that one possible solution might be to scuff the leather with some coarse sandpaper, giving a "rough out" effect. Has anyone tried this? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Comparação dos metodos para determinação das bases nitrogenadas volateis (BNV) em pescado : parametros criticos e modificações
Arnaldo Yoshiteru Kuaye
The objective of this work was to investigate and compare the methods of Lucke &Geidel, Instituto de Fomento Pesqueiro do Chile (IFOP) and IFOP modified in this study for determination of volatile nitrogen bases (VNB) in different species of fish. At the same time, it was studied the effect of hydrolysis of urea, caused by the distillation step, on the VNB value of dogfish flesh. It was shown that the VNB values were dependent on the methodology used for analysis, species of fish and storage time on ice. Comparison among the three methods reveled, regardless of the species, that the method of Lucke &Geidel gave higher VNB values than both the IFOP and the modified IFOP. Studies on the evolution of volati e nitrogen bases by the method of Lucke &Geide1 showed that these compounds continued to be distilled after 25 minutes of distillation. When the IFOP method was used, with previous protein precipitation, the VNB were completely distilled after 5 minutes. In the IFOP method, the substitution of trichloroacetic acid by sulfuric acid (2,5%) -sodium sulphate (7,5%) and magnesium oxide by a satured solution of Borax caused an increase of 10% in the VNB values. This increase was mainly due to TCA replacement. Model studies with pure urea solution and mixture of this solution with dogfish extracts revealed that the hydrolysis of urea during the procedure contributed up 49,70% of the total VNB of the extract. This hydrolysis was caused by distillation in alkaline medium. The initial values of VNB in sardine (Sardinella brasiliensis) fillets stored on ice, determined by the Lucke &Geidel, IFOP and modified IFOP methods, were 15,37, 8,46 mg and 9,98 mg, respectively. These differences creased with time and were not significant after 30 days storage. This behaviour was similar for whole sardines tilápia (Tilapia sp.). Regardless of the method, during the storage on ice the production VNB of dogfish slices increased in an exponentia1 manner. The Lucke &Geidel method gave values VNB of 54,14 mg and 361,42 in the 1st and 11th days of storage, respectively. In freshwater fish, tilapia and curimbatá (Prochilodus sp.) the production of VNB during the storage on ice increased slowly. The Lucke &Geidel method gave va1ues of VNB, for tilápia, of 21,32 mg and 32,56 mg in the 1st and 21st day of storage, respectively. The VNB values, for curimbatá, in the 1st and 11th day of storage were 18,52mg and 20,65 mg, respectively .

When you opened your practice it was probably difficult to imagine you could ever have too many patients or be too busy. At the time, the goal was just to fill the day. My, how things have changed. Today, many practitioners are suffocating under the crush of burgeoning patient rolls. They are slogging their way through backbreaking schedules that make an 8-hour day and a 4-day workweek sound like the stuff of fairy tales.
Here's the reason: We are 10 years into a shortage of dentists. Since 1995, more dentists have died or retired than new dentists entering the profession. Numerous dental schools have closed, and many of those operating are struggling to maintain current funding levels and staffing quotas. It's a far cry from the 1980s when a dentist's shingle punctuated nearly every block on the street. Marketing was "in," and the push for patients meant freebies, special offers, and advertising. The focus was on getting patients in the door, and hopefully they would come back for more.
Now it's 2005 and the picture is much different. Open the schedule in just about any "successful" practice and you'll likely find patients booked out for weeks and even months. Line up the names of those on the cancellation roster and the list will paper the walls. The good news—patients are seeking more dental care. They have higher expectations. They've seen the possibilities and are eager to explore the options. The bad news—doctors and teams are clawing frantically through their days trying to keep up with demand while patients wait weeks or even months for procedures they need and/or want. Welcome to the era of uncontrolled growth.
With all those attempts at staying busy, you would think doctors would be on their way to a cushy early retirement compliments of today's production. Sadly, exploding practices often are financial duds; although teams are racing through the days, production is at a crawl. The reason? There are several, but chief among them are clinical inefficiency and scheduling just to fill time.
First, the schedule. It is out of control and screaming trouble. But you have to pause long enough to hear the warning cries. This is what they sound like:
- The doctor is booked more than 3 weeks out, and patients have to wait several weeks for even the most routine procedures.
- There is little consistency, if any, in the time booked for procedures—30, 60, 90 minutes.
- The objective is simply to keep the schedule full—just stick patients anywhere.
- The hygiene schedule is loaded up for months.
- Lunch hour is a nice euphemism for food-on-the-fly lunch breaks that give the team 10 minutes to catch their breaths and gulp their power shakes.
- Patient retention is weak.
- Worst of all, revenues are flat.
Any of this ring a bell?
Too often, those who manage the schedule are given one directive: Keep the doctor busy. Beyond that, they are on their own, and you are left to race the hallways, be in 2 places—sometimes 3—at once, skip lunch, and remain calm at all times. By 6 PM you're ready to collapse in a heap. It's time to tell your scheduling coordinator that you do not want to be busy, you want to be productive—big difference, and it goes to the heart of controlling growth while increasing profits.
The doctor needs to be scheduled to meet production objectives, not endurance goals. For example, perhaps your goal (set a reasonable one if you haven't) is to break $700,000 in clinical production. This calculates to $14,583 per week (taking 4 weeks out for vacation). Working 40 hours per week means you'll need to produce about $364 per hour. If you want to work fewer hours, then obviously per-hour production will need to be higher.
A crown charged out at $900, which takes 2 appointments for a total of 2 hours, exceeds the per-hour production goal by $86. This excess can be applied to any shortfall caused by smaller-ticket procedures. Use the formula below to determine the rate of hourly production.
(1) The assistant logs the amount of time it takes to perform specific procedures. If the procedure takes the doctor 3 appointments, the assistant should record the time needed for all 3 appointments.
(2) Next, record the total fee for the procedure.
(3) Determine the procedure value per hourly goal. To do this, take the cost of the procedure, for example $900, and divide it by the total time to perform the procedure (120 minutes). That will give you your production-per-minute value: $7.50. Multiply that by 60 minutes to calculate the procedure value per hour ($450).
(4) Compare that amount to the doctor's hourly production goal. It must equal or exceed the identified goal.
If you choose to block the schedule for specific procedures, do so based on historical data—actual procedures performed over the past 6 months—and not on wishful thinking. Start scheduling to achieve production objectives rather than survival tests.
The next step in establishing order from chaos requires you look within the operatory. Rarely do dentists and their teams step back and examine the details of what's driving the busyness. Most practices never consider anything but the obvious: "We're too busy. We need more people to handle it." Certainly, demands on dental practices are increasing significantly, and while clinical quality can never be compromised, clinical efficiency can almost always be enhanced.
Think about what's happening in the operatory and answer the following questions honestly:
•Does your assistant anticipate which instrument you need next?
•Must you repeatedly stop to adjust the light source?
•Can your assistant see clearly what is happening in the patient's mouth?
•Have you given your assistant the responsibilities she is legally allowed to perform in your state?
•Are you performing procedures or explaining matters to patients that the assistant or other staff members could and should be handling? For example, do you explain post-op care to patients even though that's the assistant's job? Or do you frequently sit down with parents to discuss the importance of sealants even though this is the hygienist's responsibility?
These are patterns of inefficiency that are etched into work habits early on as newer dentists emerge from dental school with little or no training in how to use a dental assistant effectively. Consequently, dentist and assistant fall into a system of performing procedures inefficiently day after day, establishing poor work habits that become second nature and so much a part of the routine they are almost never considered for improvement.
The result is that all of those seemingly minor inefficiencies add up to minutes, hours, and days lost in your schedule. What's worse, you may even be considering hiring an associate. Too often, the too-busy dentist will bring in an associate, thinking profits will increase and he or she can decrease his or her own time in the practice. It's a rude awakening when the senior doctor finds he or she cannot keep that associate busy. The senior doctor has been in a state of perpetual busyness because the practice is inefficient, not because the demand for dentistry is too large to handle.
Surprisingly, significantly improving chairside efficiency often requires minimal change. Typically, the dental assistant who isn't adjusting the light source or isn't anticipating the doctor's instrument needs is likely not sitting in the chair properly. The assistant must be one head higher than the dentist, and there should be a hydraulic lift on the chair so she can see into the mouth.
Meanwhile, dentists, legendary perfectionists that they are, can severely undermine their own clinical efficiency. A dentist may change burs 5 times during one procedure. Every change increases the time necessary to complete the procedure. Then there is the matter of delegation. If you feel you are run ragged day after day, take a good look at the tasks you are performing that should be the responsibility of other team members.
Dentists must delegate every procedure, patient interaction, and staff matter legally allowable in their state. For example, most states allow dental assistants to remove a temporary crown, clean the tooth, and try-in the permanent crown. However, often the dentist is performing these procedures, which is clinically inefficient. Sealants provide an even clearer example of a procedure that should be delegated completely to the hygienist. If you are concerned about a staff member performing the procedures to your satisfaction, then train him or her. If the staff member doesn't respond to training, then it's time to hire someone who will.
Too tired, too stressed, and just too busy to enjoy dentistry? Turn it around by implementing a productive scheduling system and maximizing clinical efficiency. Minor changes in those areas can go a long way in creating major improvements in the delivery of patient care as well as the overall satisfaction of your work. I guarantee it.

PRSRocker's 75 Gallon Planted Angelfish Tank
This tank used to be my old 75 gallon journal but it ended in a big algae mess and realized I made some mistakes along the way. I was still very new to it all. Now with much much more experience and knowledge, I decided to redo the whole tank. Plus my angelfish really appreciate a better looking tank, at least I think they do and they deserve one. Enough of the background information, lets get to the good stuff!:tongue:
The tank was already running with old original flourite, a nice established canister, and some alage. All I needed to do was scrub it, drain it, swap the substrate, replant with new driftwood, and start over. No cycling occured so my Angels were happy with that!
The tank is a 75 gallon tank with the following specs:
Substrate: Flourite Black Sand (about 2 - 3 inches)
Lighting: 8 Hour photo period with an Aqueon 48" Triple T8 fixture:
(2) 32 watt GE Daylight Deluxe 6500k bulbs
(1) Aqueon 32 watt Floramax Bulb.
Also a DIY LED moonlight system just for fun! Used for about 2 hours after lights off.
Filtration: Rena XP3 and a Marineland Magnum 350 which is being used to drive my CO2 reactor plus extra filtration. Also have a Koralia 750 for extra circulation.
CO2: 5 lb Pressurized with Aquatek Regulator, drop checker with 4dkh solution. Still working on an actual working diffusion method...
Plants: Amazon Sword, Ozelot Sword, Hygrophila difformis, Hygrophila sp. Tiger, various crypts (many various wendtii like bronze, green, tropica, plus other crypt species), Rotala rotundifolia, Ludwigia repens, Echinodorus tenellus (I think!), Anubias nana, Nymphaea sp., and frogbit floating. Possibly more to come with time.
Fish: 1 Phillipine Blue Pinoy Veiled Zebra Angelfish, 1 Phillipine Blue Platinum Marble Veiled Angelfish, 2 Phillipine Blue x Wild Peruvian Green Glitter (F2) Angelfish, 17 Rasbora Hets, 6 Cardinal Tetras, 9 Rummynose Tetras, 5 Otocinclus Catfish, and about 10 Red Spotted Nerite Snails.
Dosing and Maintenance: I dose with dry ferts. Currently dosing Macros once a week and Traces once a week. Dose size is equivelent to EI dosing but only dosing each once per week. Water change once a week usually around 30% to 50%.
I'll will post some pics up in the next post. So far the tank has been up for two to three weeks only so far. My CO2 diffusion methods have been not succesful yet. First tried a ceramic diffuser and the drop checker only would turn a shade of green, not too bright though. Then tried an 18" Rex Reactor but got small bubbles constantly and can't seem to get the drop checker above a dull green too. So now I'm in the process of building a Cerges Reactor now so we shall see. :biggrin:
Currently battling some diatoms but have otos and nerites for that. I also now have GSA forming and some BBA poking its head in on my Amazon Sword and driftwood. Currently dosing excel with recommend dosing according to bottle to try to prevent the BBA but so far I don't see any prevention. :icon_conf
Any tips, feedback, advice, or anything, please let me hear it! Pics coming up in a few minutes from iPhone 4. Then in the next few days I'll be busting out the digital camera for some much better pics!
Sorry again for the bad pics, it was last minute pics from my iPhone 4. I will take some pics tomorrow hopefully or ASAP with my digital camera and I promise to deliver some much much better pics.
Week 1, a few days after setup (6/11/11)
More to come soon....
I have some new pictures. I believe I may up the dosing frequency soon since I think I'm seeing deficiencies. But so far everything is healthy and looking good.
Cerges reactor didn't go through. I couldn't seem to get the house filter to make a good seal on the hose barbs, kept getting leaks. Oh well, currently building another pvc reactor but with a 3" diameter.
So any feedback or comments? You can even just say you hate it but let me know what you think and any advice on scaping or plant ideas.
what is that foreground plant in the front left corner and front middle??? it looks like its taking over...lol
Tank looks great.
Did you try using hose clamps to get a good seal on the barbs? I have trouble getting off brand Eheim hose to seal onto my in-line heater, a simple hose clamp works great. Just make sure to not overtighten as you can crack the plastic.
Its a pretty dense carpet of just E. tenellus. Its a very happy plant!
Thanks Postal! I did try using clamps but to no avail. It leaks I believe from the threads but I used thread tape which works with everything else, just doesn't seem to make it leak proof this time.
Rocker, your tank looks absolutely superb. Getting better by the week, I'm sure.
Great job, Congrats ! I love it.
looks great! beautiful angels you've got there!
Thanks a bunch Discuspaul! It does seem to get better each day!
Thanks orchid, I love my angelfish very much!
I'm thinking of eventually taking of the E. tenellus and replacing it with another foreground. Maybe staurogyne 049? Or something smaller and grassy. I feel like I should try something even like a patch of hc in the tank foreground just to see if it would do fine and take off. I like pushing my limits of what will grow in my tank with lower range lighting but with good co2 and frets.
stauro would look great!
Tank looks awesome. I've got a 75g heavily planted and trying to get Staurogyne bit the Angels keep eating it. Either way it is barely filling in, but oats been awhile and everything else has taken off.
Your tank is looking great! its really come a long way in a short time. Im sure it will look like a jungle in there in no time :)
Thanks Dude and Chad320! Just had to trim it up today. Its becoming a jungle so fast even with the low light i'm running.
Yeah I think stauro would be nice. I want a foreground plant but this e.tenellus is just too wild and tall. I want something small but also will do well in lower light but with good ferts and nice co2 levels.
I agree with the angels eating plants, they seem to like only certain ones. Usually the ones I like of course! They are just trying their hand at rescaping the tank lol!
Any suggestions on plants for the background. I love my Amazon sword but I am still not sold on the others. I want something that will be very full and go well with the sword. Any aquascaping ideas? I feel like some plant choices should be changed up.
damn i like that black sand. i'm also digging the big angelfishes and the small tetra schools, you should get more tetras and it would look awesome!

Way back before industrial white flour, baked goods were different. Deliciously grainy, toothsome and flavorful—honest real food, not sticky sweet junk. The secret to this authentic heritage baking style is fresh real flour: rustic stone-ground organic grain, milled whole and FRESH.
Don't say no to wheat.
Say no to industrial food.
Most people don't understand how badly modern industrial flour fails as food. The more you learn, the more dismayed you get. Read our rant. Or watch this documentary preview of The Grain Divide, featuring Michael Pollan and many others.
The gluten-free craze has finally brought real attention to the public health menace that is modern industrial flour. But the solution is not replacing it with other industrial fillers like rice flour, potato starch or guar gum. The solution is to replace it with the real flour that nourished mankind through the ages—organic, whole and FRESH.

drywalling over a warped textured ceiling
I need to drywall over a painted textured ceiling. The problem is there is a wonky roof joist that is making an area of the existing textured ceiling not level. How can I fix this to make the new drywall (that is to put up over the textured ceiling) be level and not warpy like it is now? What is the correct way to approach this?
To get rid of the warp, you need to address the offending joist, whether you cut it and sister on another or remove the current ceiling and shave the joist.
If it is just one joist causing the problem because it is was installed crown down or something? Replace it or turn it around if you can get to it.
You only other option is level the existing ceiling with fir strips or whatever. You will need a laser or string level to make sure you have a new flat ceiling.
There is an attic above the ceiling so I believe it is the roof joist.
The point is that you can get to it and replace or modify it.

Positive Momentum in Place
By Paul Cherney
Volume was too light in the session on Thursday, Apr. 7, to be a confidence builder for a strong trend higher, but there is positive momentum in place for prices.
The Nasdaq composite index managed to close above the 2,017.66 level and in my view of the chart, that increases the chances for additional upside.
The S&P 500 index is right at the top edge of its recently established trading range and a close over 1,193.28 would be a positive.
Expecting prices to make a move higher, but at this time I think the upside might be just a short-term modest gain unless there are bigger improvements in the volume measures.
Now, the Nasdaq 2,017.66-1,968.58 area is immediate support.
Technically, the S&P 500 remains inside the trading range so these comments remain valid: Immediate support for the S&P 500 is 1,189-1,182 then 1,179-1,163.69. The S&P 500 has a concentration of support 1,169-1,163. Under 1,163, the next layer of support is 1,147-1,120, inside 1,147-1,120 there is a focus of support 1,142-1,131. It would take a close above the 1,193.28 level to increase the chances for additional upside.
The Nasdaq has resistance at 2,017-2,027 so prices might stagger in this area for a day or two. But in the short-term, I do not think it would be healthy to see a retracement that generates Nasdaq prints under 1,992.60. The close above 2,017.66 should be a short term positive. Next resistances are 2,036-2,059 and 2,047-2,069.42, which makes the 2,047-2,059 area a focus of resistance. Additional resistances are directly over the 2,069 level at 2,078-2,093.68 and 2,101-2,111.43.
The S&P 500 has immediate resistance at 1,178.82-1,189.80, there is a particularly well-defined layer of resistance at 1,183.78-1,188.40 (generated ahead of the FOMC announcement on Tuesday, Mar. 22). Next resistances are 1,190-1,193.28, then 1,199-1,210; resistance gets thick at 1,204-1,210.54. There is broad resistance at 1,206-1,229.11, which has a focus of resistance at 1,213-1,219. Above 1,229, the next layer of resistance is 1,240-1,286, with a focus at 1,246-1,261.
The VXO moved lower Thursday, but prices did not react by moving higher so I am focusing my attention on the trading range prices
