5 Big Stocks to Trade for November Gains - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) – With this morning's opening bell, investors are entering the final stretch of 2012. There are only two months left to the calendar year (or for some, just a month and change until the end of the world), which means that institutional money is at battle stations, trying to close the gaps between their performance and their benchmarks.
With the S&P 500 up more than 12% in 2012, and many investors out of the market at key inflection points this year, that gap is going to be a tough one to fill.
>>4 Big-Volume Stocks Moving Higher
That said, this gap could help spur some serious money moving out of treasuries and into equities once again. I've said before that stock investors are in a waiting game. Once people invested in treasuries can't stomach earning less than inflation, the flow of funds from treasuries to stocks is going to move prices higher for Mr. Market (and yields too, for that matter).
In the meantime, there are still trades to be made in stocks. That's why we're taking a technical look at five big names that are tradable this week.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at the charts of five high-volume stocks to trade for gains.
Internet search giant Google (GOOG) has had better months. Shares of the firm are down considerably from a couple of weeks ago when the firm's poor earnings were accidentally released to Wall Street. The flub exacerbated investors' poor reaction to the numbers, and shares have traded lower ever since. So, what to do with Google now?
For starters, the earnings drop was bad, but Google had already broken its uptrend four trading sessions earlier. That lack of a support level acted like cement shoes when Google eventually posted its numbers; there was no one there to "catch" its price with a bid. Since the selloff, shares have been consolidating sideways in an extremely tight range. Consolidations give investors a chance to catch their breath as a stock bleeds off its extreme momentum. That's exactly what's going on in Google this week.
And there's a trade to be made in this setup. If the consolidation indicates that investors are still making their minds up about Google, then we want to be buyers after they've made up their minds. The buy comes if Google breaks out above the top of the rectangle in the chart – if it falls through the bottom, then (GOOG) has more downside likely.
We're seeing a very similar setup in shares of retail behemoth Amazon.com (AMZN)
right now. Like Google, Amazon had trending up until the first week of October, then started trading lower. The fact that these two charts look alike isn't a big surprise – they're both mega-cap tech stocks, so correlations between the two are very high. That's what makes Amazon's more recent price action so interesting.
Unlike Google, Amazon hasn't been consolidating lately -- instead, shares made a move called a "v-bottom." Basically, a v-bottom is a reversal pattern where a stock moves from a downtrend to an uptrend almost instantaneously. That snap higher means that sentiment switched hard from bearish to bullish (with earnings as the catalyst here), and that shares are bound for higher ground. The huge volume that shares saw on their first white bar day on Friday was a good sign that buyers were jumping aboard Amazon en masse.
Momentum is the one indicator that's still diverging from Amazon's bullish picture right now. Fourteen-day RSI remains in a downtrend (albeit just barely), signaling that shares are still moving lower at an increasing rate despite the sentiment switchover. For investors looking to go long, I'd recommend waiting for the RSI downtrend to break and for price to move above Friday's highs before putting money on the line.
Fastenal (FAST) is staging a reversal of its own right now – just in the much longer-term. The $13 billion fastener and industrial supply firm has spent much of the last year forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern that doesn't want to end. Even though this pattern isn't exactly textbook, the trading implications are the same as if it were.
In short, the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern indicates exhaustion among sellers, formed by two swing lows (the shoulders) that are separated by a lower low (the head). The sell signal comes on a move through the neckline level, around $45 in Fastenal's case. What makes the setup unique for is that the right shoulder has continued to drag on for the last two months. Even though that's not exactly the norm, that the setup has still obeyed resistance at the neckline means a neckline break is still a valid buy signal.
Don't let the popularity of the inverse head and shoulders fool you. This may be one of the first price setups would-be traders discover, but it's also one of the most powerful: a recent academic study conducted by the Federal Reserve Board of New York found that the results of 10,000 computer-simulated head-and-shoulders trades resulted in "profits [that] would have been both statistically and economically significant." Wait for $45 to get broken before buying.
U.S. Steel
2012 has been a rough year for shareholders of U.S. Steel (FAST) – shares of the $3 billion steel company have slid more than 22% since the first trading day in January. But even though this stock has been underperforming the broad market, there's upside potential brewing in shares.
Right now, U.S. Steel is forming an ascending triangle bottom. The pattern is formed by horizontal resistance at $23 and uptrending support below shares. As the stock bounces in between those two price levels, it's getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above that $23 resistance level. When it happens, traders have a buy signal.
In real terms, the resistance level at $23 is a price above which there's a glut of sellers. That's why it's acted like a price ceiling the last four times U.S. Steel's price approached it – sellers have been more eager to sell and take some semblance of gains than buyers were to step in and buy. A move above $23 means that those sellers' supply of shares has been absorbed by increasingly eager buyers, making upside in U.S. Steel a high-probability trade.
Uptrending RSI adds some confirmation to the upside in this setup.
Lennox International
Last up today is mid-cap heating and cooling appliance maker Lennox International (LII). One look at Lennox's chart, and it's pretty clear what's going on in this stock, even if you're not a technical analysis expert. Shares of Lennox have been trading in an uptrending channel for the better part of 2012, giving traders well defined buy and sell targets all the way up.
Right now, the stock is sitting up near resistance, which makes another move lower look likely. After that, investors should be looking for an opportunity to buy on the bounce off of trendline support. With it in an uptrend, why wait? The best time to buy a stock that's in an uptrending channel comes at support – it's the place where shares have the furthest to move back up to resistance (the top of the channel) and where they have the least distance to move through support.
Since a breakdown below support means that the channel is broken, support is also a logical place to put a protective stop below to ensure minimal risk. Patience is a virtue with this setup.

In the Dungeons & Dragons game, nerras are the rulers of the Plane of Mirrors. These mysterious outsiders constantly observe the Material Plane, occasionally making forays to kidnap its inhabitants. They are known to wander the planes on missions of reconnaissance and infiltration for a theoretical future invasion.
Nerras resemble humanoids with mirrorlike skin. When killed, nerras shatter into thousands of shards. Nerras wield weapons made out of the mirrolike substance of their home plane.
Although they consider themselves superior to Material Plane beings, they try to maintain a neutral outlook on most matters.
Types of NerrasEdit
Kalareem: Ferocious warriors that fight with two shard swords, they are the chosen defenders of the Plane of Mirrors.
Sillit: The leaders, planners, and schemers of the nerras.

Obama Outhouse Parade Float Infuriates Nebraska Woman
Like many towns across the fruited plain of this great country, the small town of Norfolk, Neb. had its annual Fourth of July parade on Friday.
One float the denizens of Norfolk (pronounced "Norfork" by many locals) saw featured a blue flatbed truck carrying a zombie-looking mannequin in overalls on the door of an outhouse labeled "OBAMA PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY."
The crowd lining the parade route generally cheered and laughed as the float went by, reports the Lincoln Journal Star.
Not everybody was happy, of course.
"This is not okay," Glory Kathurima said she muttered as the float passed her and her nine-year-old daughter by. "That's not okay."
Apparently, Kathurima, who is originally from Kenya, didn't take the opportunity to explain to her daughter that the United States has a vital constitutional amendment guaranteeing robust, largely unlimited political expression — even the kind that allows parade floats people might find offensive.
Nope. Instead, Kathurima got all mad because she felt the float was racist.
"It's definitely a personal issue for me," Kathurima told Omaha CBS affiliate KMTV. "This image and the words stamped across an outhouse were trying to equate the president, a black president, with what you do in an outhouse."
She fleshed out her own opinion freely to a Journal Star reporter.
"I'm angry and I'm scared," she complained. "This float was not just political; this was absolutely a racial statement."

Kelly Osbourne's Emmy Awards Manicure Cost HOW Much?!
Would you ever spring for a $250,000 manicure? Because Kelly Osbourne just did.
-Lucia Peters
Brace yourselves, Bettys, because the answer to this question is even more ridiculous than it was when we were asking how much Emily Maynard's wardrobe for The Bachelorette cost. Are you ready for this?
Yes, you read it correctly: A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS is how much Kelly Osbourne's Emmy Awards manicure cost. I don't know about you, but I can't even FATHOM having put that much money into my nails. Yikes!
Here's a closer look:
Read Love It or Hate It? Kelly Osbourne's Purple Emmys Outfit
Want to know WHY it cost that much? Because Kelly used a polish created by Los Angeles-based luxury jeweler Azature. The polish, which was released last month, contains 267 carats of black diamonds in it; it also has the somewhat dubious honor of having stolen the title of "Most Expensive Nail Polish in the World" from its previous holder, the $130,000 bottle of lacquer produced by Model's Own in 2010 (it was capped by a 24-carat gold, diamond-encrusted lid). Only one other person in the world besides Kelly has worn Azature's black diamond nail polish, and that person is Jennifer Lopez.
I suppose at least Kelly had a relatively healthy sense of how ridiculous her mani was. Earlier in the day, she Instagrammed a pic of the nail polish bottle along with the message, "About to get a $250k manicure w nail polish made w blk diamonds made by @azature so excited & honored but absolutely sh*****g myself to have that much money on my nails!"; then later at the awards show itself, she told E! News (according, at least, to the Daily Mail), "I've been so scared to touch anything because [the polish] is powdered black diamonds… worth $250,000. I'm the only person they let wear it, it's in a safe upstairs in the hotel room. I couldn't believe it. I have not touched a thing all day."
Kelly's stylist, Nicolas Bru, came up with the idea in the first place. He explains about the look, "I was very inspired by the neo-goth look presented on the runways this fall, and I wanted to mix that up with red carpet glamor." The result was the somewhat polarizing purple Zac Posen number Kelly wore on the red carpet combined with that outrageously expensive manicure. Wacky? Um… just a little.
Tell us: If you had unlimited resources and money was no object, would you get a $250,000 dollar manicure?

The only question is whether New Jersey can avoid a sweep.
The Devils had a chance, notably on an early 5-on-3 powerr play.
But they didn't capitalize – NJ is 0-for the series with the man advantage – and a controversial goal by Alec Martinez sent the Kings on their way.
Anze Kopitar scored a highlight reel goal.
As if to rub it in on the punchless Devils, Jeff Carter and Justin Williams scored on L.A. power plays.
How's this for a Cup-winning stat: 17 Kings have scored in the playoffs.
Nine different players have game-winners.
Not bad for an eighth seed, eh?
Jonathan Quick made 22 saves for his third shutout of the playoffs.
The Kings had 55 hits, led by Dustin Brown's eight.
The Kings have led 3-0 in ALL FOUR of their playoff series.
And they haven't played pushovers: Vancouver, St. Louis, Phoenix and now New Jersey.
This is so over.

Mediums – people who say they can channel spirits or other supernatural beings to communicate with the living – often get a bad rap. They're the subjects of debunking attempts, they're accused of fraud, and most people think they're just plain odd. But what if we deferred our judgments and tried to find out just what's actually going on physically and neurologically in the act of channeling? A team of researchers in the US and Brazil did just that, finding that, whatever else is happening, mediums show some very unique patterns of brain activity. And even more interestingly, those patterns differ depending on the mediums' amount of experience.

Postgraduate Year 2
In the second year, residents spend the majority of their clinical time on inpatient units and begin to learn inpatient treatment of adults, children, and adolescents. Residents have varied experiences in the several inpatient settings.
Three assignments are at UIC hospital with adults: the Mood/Anxiety service, the Women's Mental Health service, and the Psychotic Disorders service. There is also an assignment on the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) Child and Adolescent unit. The other assignments are the Jesse Brown VA Hospital, MacNeal Hospital (community-based), and Madden Mental Health Center (state hospital). Each unit has a different patient population and length of stay. Residents receive direct supervision on all units.
Residents spend one month each on the consult-liaison services at UIC and Jesse Brown VA Hospital as part of the multidisciplinary teams proving consultation to medical/surgical services.
Residents also begin their outpatient psychotherapy experience by seeing 2-3 patients a week in the clinic. Residents have weekly supervision of these cases with experienced psychotherapists.
· The acquisition of knowledge and proficiency in the diagnosis and treatment of seriously disturbed patients in the inpatient setting.
· The formation of an identity as a psychiatrist by developing sensitivity and empathy, and tolerance of different opinions and attitudes about mental illness and treatment. This is accomplished by relating to other mental health professionals, appreciating social and cultural factors that influence behavior, and gaining an appreciation of one's strengths and limitations.
· The understanding of psychodynamic principles and the goals of psychodynamic psychotherapy in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
· The acquisition of knowledge and skills in the use of various biological treatments, including ECT.
· Development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that begin to establish the core knowledge base for the diagnosis, treatment, and case management of psychiatric disorders. The resident spends four months on the psychiatric inpatient services at UIC Hospital and at Jesse Brown VA Hospital.
· Development of skills appropriate to the practice of consultation-liaison psychiatry. Residents rotate through a one month consultation-liaison services at both UIC Hospital and Jesse Brown VA Hospital.
Morning Report. Residents on the Emergency Service and Inpatient Service attend morning report Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. Faculty and PGY-4 residents involved in the Emergency Room and Intake Services conduct this report. The time is divided between review of clinical information and didactic presentations. Residents summarize their emergency room activities at this time. Emphasis is placed on case presentation and formulation, differential diagnosis, case management, and disposition issues. The didactic component consisted of planned lectures and case-based learning.

Honestly, i've seen a decline of people i know using itunes or storing media at all locally on their computers.
I'd rather use Spotify cause you DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR MUSIC at all with that and can listen to them as long as your macs on wifi and you can transfer them to an iDevice idk if it needs a signal as well but all my 70 playlists are still on iTunes
Really? A patent for something this basic? Even if the patent were legitimate, it should not take 8 years to get one, as I recall patents are supposed to become open source after a certain number of years, so this seems like it works in Apple's favor with the delay.
That being said, they still shouldn't be able to get a patent that is that broad. I can see patenting the basic look and feel of iTunes it's self, including the layout, but it must be details and I would think that the patent shouldn't even be applied to what iTunes is today.
I only use iTunes to sync my apps and other items. I use Winamp to play music because it's actually fast and doesn't lag. -_-
Its been like this since last year some time when the site upgraded and I don't think they want it fixed. They want us to read from the app. Its a huge pain in the butt. I have asked and asked and asked and get "read modmyi from your iPhone or iPad" that is the fix.
Don't shoot the messenger.
I hate itunes. years ago I used Real Player which was great imo and thought Itunes was utter ****. today with all of my iStuff i'm practically forced to use itunes and so I do.
Why would they want to patent that poor, double speaking, confusing UI?
ITunes is literally the worst thing Apple makes. Why just yesterday I had to hit sync 4 times before it would add 4 new podcasts.
And the 3rd sync removed all the content from my device.
They patented it? Who the hell else wants it?

As far as ATS, I agree with you it comes short on the refinement compared to the F30. But I think the ATS beats the C class and Audi A4 in terms of driving dynamics by a mile. On the other hand the C class and A4 are not trying to sell to those who care about driving dynamics, so it matters little to them.
Even so ATS should eat into each of the brands' market share, the only question is to what extent.
I have not started such discussions about ATS, only participated in them. It seems to me a few people here can only be happy if they get to trash ATS or Cadillac in general, or anything non-BMW. When there are opposing views, suddenly those are trolling.
The question is, why some of you get so intense, out of what? Fear? If you are truly happy about yourself, no criticism should spook you. Not to mention I have plenty of criticism reserved for ATS too.
You're confusing him with someone else.

Moab also helps to find bottlenecks and enables rules allowing the scheduler to optimize its behavior around these constraints. - Simplified Grid Management Create productive, real-world grids as manageable as a single, unified cluster. - Utility Computing If you are a commercial organization, you may want to think about new business models in which you offer not just information, but real compute and application services running inside a dynamically customized and secured virtual cluster. With the click of a mouse, you can provide a customer-centric end-to-end turnkey solution that allows the customer to fully utilize your information, your software, your compute resources, or your custom environment. Ask us for information on what we are already doing for some of the biggest names in the industry. - Ease of Use Over the last year, we have made a concerted effort to 'deprecate' the log file so even though it will always be available, the diagnostics in Moab would be powerful enough to render it nearly unused. Reported issues, both system failures and user errors, helped us enhance Moab to allow its built-in diagnostic commands to not just identify the source of the failure, but where possible, recommend steps to correct the issues. Moab 4.5.0 is like having an expert that monitors your jobs, nodes, users, and more built into every cluster. Best practices knowledge is now available within Moab by simply running 'mdiag'. This capability translates directly into increased availability and productivity. - New Architectures and Platforms We have extended the power of Moab to provide tight integration with numerous new architectures including: Cray XT3, SGI Altix, and Quadric/RMS platforms with development already underway for BlueGene and many more architectures. We have also enhanced support for LSF, PBS, TORQUE, Ganglia, Loadleveler, SLURM, and many other resource managers, license managers, and network and storage control systems. - General Feature Enhancements Moab's enhancements in 4.5.0 cover improvements in the following: network management, storage management, grid, political policies, co-allocation, dynamic jobs, application virtualization, resource manager integration, scalability, job translation, and hundreds of other spaces too numerous to cover here. If you have needs in workload management, scheduling resource orchestration, and other policy-centric system intelligence, Moab can probably handle it. People have said for years that our products are the most advanced in the industry. Come find out how this can help your organization and why adoption of this technology is growing so rapidly.

Speaking about Building Information Modeling (BIM), Thom Mayne, FAIA, once declared: "You will not practice architecture if you are not up to speed with this." That was in 2005. Since then, many other architects have seen the writing on the wall and BIM's integration into architectural practice has grown.
Since its introduction in the late 1980s, BIM evolved from simple CAD drawings into a sophisticated tool that can help architects, engineers, and contractors construct higher-performing, more cost-effective, and more energy-efficient buildings. "BIM is more than just coordination, documentation, and materials," says Nicholas Holt, AIA, technical director at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) in New York. "It is a host of 3D analysis tools that, when combined, gives you a fully robust performance model."
Analysis of BIM models can return information on lighting loads, infiltration, ventilation, electric demand, wind shear, solar heat gain, and water usage, among other things. BIM also facilitates a larger collaborative process that involves the architect, engineer, contractor, client, and consultants. Some refer to this as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), wherein the entire team works together to create the best possible design and meet the client's goals.
"The model for design used to be architects first, engineers second, and contractors third," says Sean Quinn, Assoc. AIA, sustainable design specialist at HOK. "But now it involves as many key players as possible, resulting in something that is more refined and less costly overall."
As sustainable design has become more ingrained in our thinking, clients are targeting certifications such as LEED, the Living Building Challenge, Passivhaus, and even the International Code Council's International Green Construction Code. Underscoring all of these measures is a simple idea: Optimization and refinement early in the design process reduce overall costs and save time along the way.
While there are many strong supporters of BIM, the process and technology still needs to evolve more before it can become the de facto design method. Firms are wary of promising the kind of performance that BIM suggests for fear of litigation if construction or operation does not go according to spec.
Another challenge with employing BIM is keeping current with the software. Larger firms often rely on in-house experts to train their own staff. Smaller firms don't have this luxury, but there are tools to help. Craig Barbieri, AIA, director of practice technology at KlingStubbins, suggests taking advantage of free resources available through Autodesk, and of online training courses through lynda.com, as well as classes offered through local AIA chapters.
There is also the question of modeling—and monitoring—energy efficiency over the lifetime of the building. BIM works in the design and construction phases, but it also provides a seamless transition to operations. "The ideal situation is when the life-cycle information that the owner or facility manager needs can be included in the design process and maintained over time," says Jeffrey Ouellette, Assoc. AIA, a BIM specialist for Columbia, Md.–based Nemetschek Vectorworks. Ouellette is also a member of the AIA's Technology in Architectural Practice (TAP) Knowledge Community, which monitors the effect of computer technology on architectural practice and, importantly, building life cycle. "When you look at the spectrum of BIM adopters, it's fairly wide," he reports. One of the things I'm doing with TAP is educating folks on the interoperability of BIM, itself."
"The model has an amazing inherent value—and it's a tool we'll be able to use after construction in order to optimize operations," says Barbieri, who deems it a way to ensure that changing design standards are met. BIM has evolved rapidly over the last five years, from being a whiz-bang novelty to a critical tool centered on energy efficiency and sustainable results—and there's still room to grow. BIM's meteoric rise, however, is about something more fundamental to architectural design—the kind of "duh" moment that the introduction of the vegetable peeler or mechanical pencil once produced. "We live in 3D space; that's what our product is and our service is," SOM's Holt says. "So it's inevitable: Sooner or later everyone will be working in 3D tools."

/ Ag adviser works with the future agricultural leaders of Paktika, Afghanistan
By Jennifer Van Eps, NRCS Washington
Caroline Clarin (bottom right), a wetland restoration engineer with NRCS, served as an ag adviser in Afhganistan
A wetland restoration engineer with NRCS helped create a training farming program.
The service and teamwork of Caroline Clarin, a wetland restoration engineer for USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service in Minnesota, and a dedicated group of Afghan agricultural experts provided over 9,000 people in Afghanistan with training in farming.
Clarin, one of NRCS' ag advisers, was stationed at Forward Operating Base Sharana. She was in the Paktika Province in the eastern part of the country home to a severe lack of critical infrastructure and an extremely low literacy rate.
But despite the challenges, Clarin was able to help form a program to train Afghans in raising produce and efficient irrigation.
At first, Clarin said she was at a loss – she didn't know what she could do in this foreign country with no knowledge of the local language, Pashtu. But eventually, she found a great way to help – forming the the Paktika Agricultural Training Program, which employed 14 college-educated Afghans to teach basic subsistence agriculture at the district and village levels throughout Paktika.
With funding from U.S. Agency for International Development, Clarin was assigned an Afghan assistant who had basic English skills, a bachelor's in agronomy and a thorough knowledge of agriculture in Paktika. With the support of the PRT integrated command team and the battalion commander, they created this program.
Clarin said she was immediately impressed with the men who were selected for the program, because in addition to their agricultural knowledge and teaching skills, they faced intimidation in a volatile and violent environment without flinching. In Paktika, with an estimated 2 percent literacy rate, getting college-educated agricultural experts located in the districts is nothing short of a miracle, she said.
In Afghanistan "shuras," or consultation groups, play an important role in the governance of districts. To help ensure the effectiveness and safety of her agricultural trainers, Clarin said her team needed to gain the trust of the local agricultural shuras in each district before they provided training there. To do this, the team arranged meetings with each group to lay the groundwork and share their plans for improving local agriculture.
"This was an opportunity to show people at the local level that the Afghan government could provide services that mattered," Clarin said.
It was challenging, but she said they persevered. Beginning in 2010, they provided agricultural training to seven districts in Paktika. About 200 men attended each of the five courses, which she said was a great success.
"If you can find a way to make someone realize they are not helpless, they will learn to help themselves very rapidly," Clarin said.
Initially, the team taught orchard establishment. Each participant received two apple trees, an apricot tree, an almond tree and a walnut tree. Next, participants were given the tools and knowledge to care for their orchards. Each participant received pruning shears, a pruning saw and lime and sulfur to make a fungicide. They were taught how to prune and care for their trees.
She said one of the most important trainings was vegetable gardening. Her team, with funds from the PRT's Commanders Emergency Response Program, or CERP, purchased open-pollinated seed so the participants could save seeds from their gardens to plant the next year. Participants were given enough pepper, onion, tomato, summer squash, squash, lettuce, cabbage and broccoli seed for a quarter acre, which could feed a family of 10 for three to five months.
After the vegetable gardens were established, she said it was important to teach the Afghans about efficient irrigation systems. The agricultural training team taught them about bucket drip irrigation. Each participant received a bucket, 100 feet of hose and the connectors to construct a drip irrigation system for their garden.
But the assistance didn't end there – once all the hands-on trainings were completed, the trainers stayed in each of the districts to function as an extension service. They answered questions and offered conservation advice. These teams directly helped 9,000 Afghans and indirectly many more.
In the spring of 2010, Clarin got the first glimpse of how well the training had paid off. A dam, located in one of the districts that received training, began to leak because the downstream slope hadn't been compacted properly. She said the PRT was afraid the dam would breach and told the community to draw the water down. Fearing lack of water for their crops, the community refused.
While the PRT engineering team went to the Paktika governor to convince him to force the community to draw down the water, the team of agricultural advisers went into the community. What they came back with was a different solution – they would build a retaining wall. The PRT fully supported the idea and provided the funding for the stone and labor at a rate of six dollars per person per day to complete the project.
After the PRT saw what the community could do with the help of the agricultural advisors, they funded additional projects at a rate of 70 percent – with the community providing the additional 30 percent in labor.
One of the biggest struggles for all soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan was the constant threat of insurgent attacks in the form of improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, embedded in the roads. Village leaders were so interested in making a difference in their communities by increasing water availability and quality with agricultural projects that they provided transportation and escorts for the ag advisers to assist with safety during travel through the dangerous areas to the villages.
Additional projects included:
• Lining canals to increase irrigation water availability through a reduction in seepage loss;
• Constructing flood walls to prevent erosion during flood events;
• Lining of a village retention pond, lining access to canals for doing laundry;
• Developing springs; and
• Creating spillways to prevent failure of canal walls during flooding.
Clarin said she was overwhelmingly proud of how far her team had come and all they had accomplished.
"Watching these young men realize the change they could make, that their education was valuable, they could make a difference in the community and could partner with the local government and police was the best thing for me," she said.
But it isn't the 9,000 plus Afghans that she helped get agricultural training, or even the 24 community projects that were undertaken, that Clarin said she is most proud of. After returning to the United States, she received a Facebook message from one of the trainers she'd worked with during her two-year deployment. He told her that he was appointed the Director of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, or DAIL, in Paktika.
"That is when I knew it was all worth it," said Clarin. "These amazing trainers were becoming the leaders of tomorrow."

The stock 5dbi omni antenna Alfa AWUS360h is coming is much better than the 9 dbi, which imho is crap. Google it to convince yourself!
Also take in consideration the antenna is used indoors, so the walls are attenuating the signal. Put the Alfa with the stock 5 dbi or 2bi antenna (depends on which one you're Alfa came with), on the windowsill. You will see a lot of improvement. Large in this case (9 dbi) is not as better as the small. Also, the cable that the 9 dbi antenna has is loosing the wifi signal. As long is the cable, the greater the loss.

Stories, photos and videos honoring veterans: World War II | The Vietnam War | The Korean War | The Gulf War | The War on Terror | Photos: SoCal Veterans
Luis Luna, Jr.
Marine Corps
Luis Luna, Jr., served in the U.S. Marine Corps to give back to the country that took in his immigrant father.
"My dad had the opportunity to come here from Mexico to earn a living, start a business," Luna said. "Since he didn't serve in the military here, I thought it was my duty to serve."
"I was born here but, still, it definitely made me feel more American."
As a heavy equipment mechanic and operator, Luna worked on PT boats, tanks, and even helicopters while stationed in Okinawa, Japan, and in Subic Bay, the Philippines.
Luna said he was prepared to go into combat if called upon, but the Iran hostage crisis was resolved not long after he enlisted.
"I would have done whatever was asked of me, as part of my unit," Luna said. "I had to do my part so my family wouldn't have to do it."

Mark Warkentin
Los Angeles
Mark Warkentin did not enlist in the military out of a sense of duty, but to get an education. His attitude, however, soon changed.
"Shortly after getting in the Navy, I found that I had become a patriot."
Warkentin was never prouder to be in the service than when his ship was called upon to escort oil tankers through the Persian Gulf during the Iran-Iraq war after the attack on the USS Stark.
An Iraqi jet had fired missiles into the USS Stark near the Iran-Iraq exclusion boundary, killing 37 US Navy personnel and injuring 21 others.
"We went there to re-establish protection of our ships and of other countries' ships," Warkentin said.
"We showed the American flag overseas in several ports on the way to let other countries know that we're here, we're protecting, and we're warning people that if they want to fight, we will support our allies," he said.

Reggie Sterling
Los Angeles
Air Force
Reggie Sterling likens his work in the military to what the fictional character Cpl. Radar O'Reilly did on the television show, "M.A.S.H."
As an administrative specialist, he was responsible for clerical duties like typing airmen performance reports and certificates for a job well done.
"It's got to be word perfect," he said with a smile.
As a member of the 394th Test and Maintenance Squadron, Sterling also helped put together the daily maintenance schedule for the intercontinental ballistic missile silos at Vandenburg Air Force Base during the Cold War, when the U.S. was in an arms race with Russia.
"We're not the foot soldiers," he said. "We handled the technical part."
"You can't just build missiles and not test it out, and we were the first in line in making sure that everything was working OK."
Once nominated for Airman of the Year, Sterling said he feels grateful for the chance to help his country.
"I fulfilled my patriotic duty," he said.

CF Poet
Los Angeles
U.S. Marine Corps
E4 Corporal
CF Poet is, well, a poet, who changed his name from Hayes after embracing his art. In his youth, however, all Poet wanted to be was a Marine.
"I always wanted to be in the military, even when I was a child," he said.
"And I always wanted to be in the Marines because most of my family are Marines."
His father, a Korean War veteran, tried to stop him from enlisting but he didn't listen. He joined the infantry, shipped out to Asia, then was deployed on a ship near the Middle East during the first Gulf War, but did not see combat. He received humanitarian medals for helping victims of a volcanic eruption in the Philippines and forest fires in Montana.
Poet, however, looks back on his career with a tinge of bitterness.
He complained of racism within the ranks, and of how he ended up homeless after his honorable discharge.
"The Marine Corps didn't have an exit plan for us," Poet said. "Some of the other branches prepped their people for work after their military career but the Marine Corps, at the time, just released you to figure it out yourself."
-Christina Villacorte

Willie Pitchford
Los Angeles
Marine Corps
Willie Pitchford joined the military to get a second chance at securing a diploma after dropping out of high school. He worked in an aviation supply, and ended up traveling all over the world.
"I went to countries that I probably would never have been able to go to, like Japan, and the Philippines," Pitchford said. "The traveling was fun, and I was able to get my high school diploma."
-Christina Villacorte

John Matzke
San Pedro
John Matzke was a high school dropout who, one day, just decided he "might as well" go into the military.
"The army accepted anybody at that time because, after Vietnam, they had to fill the ranks," he said. "I planned to make it a career and retire, or at least learn a trade, but back then they didn't have all the trades that they have now, so I ended up in the infantry."
Matzke was deployed to Bamberg, Germany, which happened to be the country of his ancestors, and immerse himself in its culture.
"My most memorable experience in the military was meeting the German people, getting to know another culture, seeing another country," Matzke said. "It was very beautiful - no litter, well-maintained - the U.S. could learn a lot from it."
-Christina Villacorte

Phil Battaglia
Long Beach
Air Force
"I'm often asked if I saw combat," Phil Battaglia said. "I always say, `You and everyone else should be happy I never did. Because if I had, it would have been nuclear winter. Nuclear war'."
For seven years at the height of the Cold War, Battaglia was a pilot of a B-47 Stratojet, on permanent call to take off and deliver nuclear warheads if and when the terrible call came.
And while it was a call he hoped to never get, Battaglia said he was ready to do his duty.
"You toughed up your attitude so you could drop your load," Battaglia said. "We didn't want to, but we would have done it, every one of us."
After his military stint, the MIT graduate moved on to a long career in the Southern California aerospace industry.
On Veteran's Day, he says he only hopes people "will spend a few moments thinking of what might have been, if not for our military in our most difficult times."
Just a nod and a thank you are all he asks for.

Judith Oliverio
Long Beach
Air Force
While much of military service is about conflict, death and destruction, that's not the whole story.
Judith Oliverio spent what she called "the quiet years" in the Air Force before 9-11.
The highlight of her career, she says, was when she and a group of Air Force doctors traveled to Honduras and conducted a medical mission in which they treated 400 patients and performed 51 major surgeries.
She said sometimes that is an aspect about the military that is too easily forgotten.
"That was the best experience of my life. It's not all defense, it's a lot of humanitarian and medical support," Oliverio said. "It was pretty cool."
-By Greg Mellen
Laura Amsbury
Long Beach
Marine Corps
As a rare woman in the Marines, Laura Amsbury was one of "the few, the proud," or as she says, "the fewer the prouder."
Inspired by Andrews Sisters movies and her brother, Steven, Amsbury became a Marine because she wanted "the discipline, the respect" that the Marines represented to her.
Although she "unfortunately" never saw conflict, Amsbury took much from her time in service.
She says "unfortunately" about missing combat only because she says it is the one thing all military train for.
However, in terms of camaraderie and life lessons, the Marine Corps left its mark.
"There's an esprit de corps," she said of the Marines. "It doesn't matter what era you served in, you earn the title Marine."
Amsbury said it is like the motto "semper fidelis" - always faithful.
-By Greg Mellen
Sean McGahey
Not all who enlist serve. Some don't make it far at all. But they still count.
Sean McGahey was injured in basic training. He said he was paralyzed while being given a polio vaccine in 1982.
"I've been in this thing 30 years," McGahey said of his wheelchair.
It's certainly not what he envisioned.
"I wanted to blow things up," said the would-be demolition man. "That was my thought anyway."
Still, McGahey said he draws some satisfaction from being a vet.
"There's camaraderie and vets helping vets," he said.

Ronnie O. Marquez
Panama Canal
Marquez says he never had to go to war. But he guarded the Panama Canal from 1980-81.
"I went to Panama three times and it was really good working with the men I worked with, the soldiers...
"We were jungle training and we enjoyed it. It was tough. It was hard work.
"We were out there in the field. I had to sleep out there for about a month and a half."
-By Josh Dulaney
Sheryl Terkildsen
Rancho Cucamonga
Walter Reed Army Medical Center
Terkildsen is an Army Nurse Corps officer who enlisted in 1977 and spent six years on active duty. She serves in the 7214th Medical Support Unit out of Garden Grove. Terkildsen spent a year mobilized at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., in 2008 and 2009.
"It was an amazing time just to be with soldiers and their families and help them go through the process of beginning to heal from traumas, and to see the resiliency and strength, and the ability of the American spirit just to survive and strive and soar in the light of great adversity."
-By Josh Dulaney
Dave Ramsey
Los Angeles Riots 1992
Ramsey's most vivid memory from his military career is of the Los Angles Riots in 1992, when he was assigned to a guard unit as an active duty soldier.
"I've seen riots before, but the way the L.A. Riots was, (it) was a little nerve-racking that people would do what they did. And it was like you were in a combat zone actually.
And I kinda felt sorry for the cities because they were actually showing themselves in a combat situation just like overseas."
-By Josh Dulaney
James Henry
Los Angeles
Operation Desert Fox and Sept. 11
Henry has never seen the kind of teamwork he saw while in the military during Sept. 11. It meant "rank was out the window" he says. That's his way of saying everybody pulled together to defend the country. James volunteers for the VA.
"Understand a lot of our veterans come from different backgrounds. A lot of our veterans come from just not different backgrounds, they come from different eras.
"Working in a VA hospital, I've definitely learned that, just give them an ear. If you give a veteran an ear, sometimes whether he's a combat veteran... or an individual who just served four years, sometimes an ear is all a veteran needs to have sometimes, and once again, respect."

Touch the Sky:
Prairie Photographs by Jim Brandenburg
February 12, 2012 - April 14, 2012
Touch the Sky is a tribute to the breathtaking vistas and iconic creatures of the American prairie. World-renowned nature photographer Jim Brandenburg captures the wide-open magnificence of the prairie, as well as its often overlooked intricate details. In panoramic images, we see great herds of bison as well as the lowly grasshopper, dragonfly and dove. Lightning storms and wildfire rage across the landscape, while delicate blossoms sway in the breeze and yellow cottonwood leaves rest on new fallen snow. Through these photos, Brandenburg reveals the cycles of life with both precision and aesthetic grace. Though best known for his work with National Geographic and his portraits of wolves in the North Woods, Brandenburg has been returning in recent years to his prairie roots. Growing up on the open, windblown prairies of southwest Minnesota, he started his photographic career with images of wildlife on a small, remnant patch of prairie near his grandfather's farm. Expanding from this Minnesota base, the exhibition includes images from prairies in Nebraska, Iowa, the Dakotas, Oklahoma, Illinois and other states.
This exhibit is being supplemented by Peoples of the Prairie, an exhibit showcasing artifacts from The Anthropology Museum which represent Native American lifeways on the Great Plains.

It interest me, my knowledge is too bad to help you but if someone have an idea, it will be great !
I was thinking of a project with a dd-wrt router configured with iptables sending (prerouted) packets to a local server which has sslstrip running, would it be possible to setup? Which would be the iptables rule to append?
A simple diagram:
Client_request -> Router -> SSLstrip_server
SSLstrip_server_reply -> Router -> Client
It interest me, my knowledge is too bad to help you but if someone have an idea, it will be great !
I am sure that it could be done. I might try this in sometime this week if I get a chance and post my rules here.
In the mean time, here's my follow-up question: could you do it without the additional local (I am reading physical here, so correct me if I am wrong) server? I know that people have managed to run python-based servers on their DD-WRT'ed routers in the past. This could be an interesting project.
All on the router, without the need of any redirection to a local computer ? I never hear anything about this kind of attak. It would be great, i agree, but is it possible ?
I'll search about it and if i find some things i'll post it here.
any progress here?
It's possible to give to the WRT54G additional disk space with this hack :
SD Card
Fortunately, the integrated processor offers a number of General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) con- nectors that you can leverage to interface with a standard Secure Digital (SD) card. As a result, you can provide some additional storage to the WRT54G, in addition to the standard flash, usable as system disk.
Components Needed for This Hack
This hack requires a few additional components that are not provided standard with any WRT54G model.
SOURCE : http://clochard.org/~fnord/CadeauBonux.pdf (PAGE 276)
I'will try this hack and after that, we'll find a way to use sslstrip inside.
Any news about this hack ? I'will try the hack in few days but i'd like to know if someone find a way to install and run sslstrip on a router flashed with OpenWRT or DD-WRT ?
I continue my research .

I don't have any python code here yet but i'll give you that soon.
For the SD hack, it's ok for my part but a question persist :
How do you add more RAM and usb as extra storage ?
any of you figured out the prerouted forwarding part for the dd-wrt? i thought i had it with http redirect in the hotspot tab but havent gotten it to work it may be meant for just within the network while im trying to send all packets over the net to a proxy. i cant imagine it should be so hard to figure out how to forward everything outside the lan to a proxy but after weeks i still cant get it working no matter what i try.

My 4 yr old is driving me bonkers with his eating. He asks for breakfast from the second he wakes up, and I offer him everything breakfast-related in the house (cereal, toast, eggs, Pop Tarts, oatmeal, pancakes, usually). He asks for one of them (today it was oatmeal), and I make it. He eats 4-5 bites of it and starts in on "Mooooommmmm....I'm doooonnnnneeeee." This is where the fight begins. I say one of two things: (1) "You need to finish your breakfast to have energy for the day. Keep eating." or (2) "Fine. But you can't have any snacks until lunch at 11:00am." If I tell him to keep eating, he may take 2 or 3 more bites, but he's whining the whole time and I end up telling him to stop if he wants, but he's not eating a bunch of snacks.
Without fail, no matter which scenario plays out, 15 minutes later he says, "Can I have a snack?" I say no, he cries, I tell him that his breakfast is still there and he can eat more of that if he wants. He cries that he doesn't want breakfast, he wants a snack. I try to be a hard-ass and tell him no, but then I feel like I'm starving my child and give him fruit or veggies (bananas, apples and peanut butter, carrots, celery, cucumbers (no dip)). Or he'll drink until he's full, and I don't know how to restrict that without feeling like the world's worst mom.
He's never been a picky eater in the past, and he will eat some very non-picky-child food (he loves broccoli and cauliflower, he'll chow down on steak and pork chops) and is not one of the "hot dog/mac and cheese/chicken nugget" picky kids. He'd just rather eat 2 granola bars, raisins, a GoGoSqueez, and half of an apple than a real breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Any advice?
(This happens every meal, BTW - breakfast is just my example.)

Cindy - from Joliet, IL
To tint icing red requires a lot of red coloring (up to 1 oz. color for small amount of buttercream icing). This can cause a bitter taste. "No Taste" red color is less bitter, so we recommend using this for brilliant red cakes – like Spiderman! To cover any bitter flavor, we suggest adding flavor extracts (almond, lemon, cherry) to the icing. These are available in the supermarket baking ingredients aisle – choose a favorite flavor to add!

Play therapy is one way to address bullying. We provide psychoeducational testing for children with behavior and or learning problems.

When Death by Chocolate was declared the January theme for the Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, I couldn't help but be enthusiastic. Chocolate is almost as good as having a blank canvas – it's full of possibilities and potential.
My first instinct was to bake. But I had to be real and think about what I really wanted to make and eat on a warm Sydney night. Ice cream crossed my mind, but then I got all sentimental.
There are some things that you don't realize you'll miss until you don't have them anymore. I'll spare you a relevant song quote, but it's true. I never would have thought I would miss the New York subway system or the Avenue A Key Foods, but there you are.
And then, there are some things that you anticipate missing. You know at some point in the future you won't have this thing at your fingertips and you'll be bummed out about it. Usually when this thought of missing something in the future crosses your mind, you are presently enjoying that very thing, minimizing the impact of the feeling.
Let me illustrate this rambling session with some examples of things from America that I have anticipated missing, that have now become well and truly missed:
– My friends
– My family
– Our E4th Street apartment
– Fresh-caught fish from my Dad
– Franks Red Hot Sauce
– Trader Joe's
– Chipotle Tabasco Sauce
– Fudgesicles
– Whole Foods
– Tapeo 29, favorite date-night and boozy brunch spot
– Jello pudding cups
I've always known the pudding would be an issue. The lack of chocolate pudding (or puddin', if you prefer) in my life lately does not go unnoticed. This recipe (from fellow blog-hopper and former New Yorker, JJ at 84th & 3rd) is perfect. It's simple, has a much better ingredient list than the Jello brand, and best of all: it tastes and feels just like the pudding I miss a little bit.
Don't even get me started on the fact that pudding actually means something else entirely in Australian dessert language – I don't want to talk about it. Not now. Now, we eat chocolate pudding, raspberry and hazelnut parfaits!
P.s. Thank you for kindly ignoring the fact that there are two different types of hot sauce on that condensed list. I have a problem.
Chocolate Pudding
Serves 4 (recipe adapted slightly from 84th & 3rd)
– 1/3 cup of cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup of sugar
– pinch sea salt
– 2 cups of milk, divided
– 2 tablespoons brewed espresso
– 1 tsp vanilla
– 2 Tbsp cornflour
Parfait layers (optional)
– Crushed cookie
– Chopped hazelnuts
– Frozen raspberries
– Toasted coconut
Place sugar, cocoa and salt into a medium saucepan and whisk together.
Whisk in 1/4 cup of the milk into the dry ingredients until smooth. Add another 1 1/2 cups of milk and the espresso, whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium low heat, then reduce immediately to a simmer.
Stir corn flour and vanilla into remaining 1/4 cup of milk until smooth, pour into simmering chocolate mixture and whisk gently for 4 1/2 minutes. Pudding will thicken further as it cools.
Pour hot pudding into a medium heat proof bowl. Refrigerate until cool.
Once cooled, make it a parfait by placing cookie, hazelnuts, toasted coconut and raspberries in the bottom of your serving cup and spooning the pudding over it. Create as many layers as you'd like or simply top off your glass with more of the same elements.
Other ideas for parfait layers:
– Sliced banana
– Whipped cream
– Ice cream
– Peanut Butter
– Chopped peppermint patties
– Granola
– Dried cherries
– Brownies

GSA Selects Architect for $70M D.C. Project
October 17, 2001
Contact: Michael McGill (202) 205-5821
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today that Boggs & Partners Architects with GHT Ltd. Consulting Engineers was selected from among four Architect/Engineer (A/E) design firms to design the $70 million modernization of Federal Office Building 8 (FOB 8).
FOB 8 is located at 2nd and C Sts., SW, with views of the U.S. Capitol. Built in 1961, it was originally designed to house laboratories for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA's labs are being relocated from the building to College Park, Md. FOB 8 contains approximately 545,500 gross square feet. GSA is seeking to redevelop the property as class A office space. Completion of the modernization is scheduled for 2004, with an estimated construction cost between $68 million and $70 million.
In making its selection, GSA used a two-stage Design Excellence procurement process. In the first stage, 22 design firms submitted examples of their work and identified a lead designer with his/her portfolio, along with recently completed work by the firm. From those submissions, an A/E selection panel identified four firms to move onto the stage-two interview phase.
"The National Capital Region is pleased to move forward with the renovation of FOB 8," said Anthony E. Costa, Assistant Regional Administrator for the Public Buildings Service. "This will enable GSA to provide first class Federal office space in close proximity to our other Federal tenants in Southwest Washington. Keeping and renovating the site represents the most cost-effective alternative for the American taxpayer. It is also an interesting challenge to remake a 60s era building into an attractive neighbor in this prominent location."

Check out Brendan Kiefer's website here and be sure to stop by his table to pick up Pissy Pants #1 & #2!
How did you become interested in zines?
My interest in zines stems from my interest in comics. I appreciate the notion that art shouldn't be something only the wealthy can afford but should be something that you can hold in your hand and have an intimate experience with.
Why do you like zines?
Zines are full of endless possibility. They can tell stories, they can tell jokes, they can say nothing at all. I find the intersection between ideas and physical reality to be a disconcerting and ellating place.
Why do you create zines?
I'd like to think it has to do with decluttering the information and biases floating around in my brain. Plus, having control over something — no matter how small brings satisfaction.
What is the concept behind your zine/zines? The world is a crazy place. I want to make a tiny little pond to reflect in.
What new projects are you working on this year? Pissy Pants #2, a collection of horrible cat comics, and some collaborations with friends under the moniker "Hats & Belts."
What made you decide to participate in 2012 Zine Fest Houston?
Stubbornness. How could I let something like that go on without me?
What are your favorite zines/minicomics/etc?
I thought that "Incinerator" by Michael Deforge was a pretty good testament to justifying his recent popularity — though I guess it might be a stretch to call it a minicomic since it's not self-published. I also thought Stiff Whiff / Tranquil Time by John Hankiewicz and Onsmith was a pretty gorgeous little book.
What other creative ventures do you have besides making zines? Since I live in Austin, I naturally play in a couple bands. I also enjoy painting when I have the time – that's what I got a degree in.
How long have you been creating zines? I've been drawing all my life but have really only gotten into zine-making in the past couple years.
What is something you think people should know about DIY in Houston?
Zines are people too.
