El precio de la cesta de referencia de la Organización de Países Exportadores de Petróleo (Opep) cerró el viernes en 44,58 dólares por barril, 20 centavos más que los 44,38 dólares que registró el cierre del jueves, informó la secretaría del grupo en su portal web.
Desde el pasado 25 de mayo pasado el crudo Opep no cotiza por encima de los 50 dólares.
Asimismo, el barril de crudo Brent , de referencia en Europa, abrió este lunes con un alza de 8 centavos (0,17%) y cotizó en 47,45 dólares, mientras que el crudo estadounidense WTI escaló 5 centavos (0,11%) y abrió en 44,79 dólares.
La Opep prevé, en su más reciente informe, que las reservas almacenadas de petróleo seguirán disminuyendo a escala mundial en el segundo trimestre de 2017 y contribuirán a estabilizar los precios, pero de forma lenta.
De acuerdo con expertos del área, el mercado petrolero sigue sometido a la sobre producción de crudo, principalmente de Estados Unidos y su política de fracturación hidráulica.

By M.J. Rose
Review by: Elizabeth Blakesley Lindsay
M.J. Rose plays with several genres in Sheet Music, including suspense, memoir, romance and family saga. The novel features journalist Justine Pagett, an American living in Paris. As the novel opens, we see her betray a lover in order to publish a story. This backfires and she finds herself alone personally and alienated professionally. As the narrative progresses, we learn of her childhood role as sidekick to her famous chef mother, her obsessive grief and the subsequent rift between her, her father and sister following the death of her mother, and the history of a relationship with a cellist that ended badly.
Trying to recover professionally from the scandal that opens the novel, Justine heads home to New York to interview a famous but reclusive female conductor. The article will be a coup for Justine and will have a positive impact on her career, but she soon learns that someone is opposed to the project. Justine begins receiving threats, but she is unwilling to give up the story. Rose seamlessly intertwines a tale of psychological suspense with a story of renewal and redemption for Justine.
In addition to creating rich characters, Rose succeeds in evoking the richness of the music and the food that play such important roles in the narrative. This novel involves all the senses while keeping the reader engrossed in the mysterious occurrences and emotional turbulence that drive the plot.
Although all turns out fairly well for Justine in the end, the novel is realistic in its portrayal of relationships and avoids a cliched happy ending. Sheet Music is well-written, at times even lyrical, and the characters will appeal to many readers.

'Back to the Future' Audio Replaced by One-Man A Cappella Performance [VIDEO]

Firm Sells Solar Panels, Taxpayers Pay
March 20, 2012
A heavily subsidized solar company received a U.S. taxpayer loan guarantee to sell solar panels to itself, says the Washington Examiner.
First Solar is the company and the subsidy came from the Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im).
Here's the road of subsidies these solar panels followed from Perrysburg, Ohio, to St. Clair, Ontario.
- First Solar is an Arizona-based manufacturer of solar panels.
- In 2010, the Obama administration awarded the company $16.3 million to expand its factory in Ohio.
- In 2010, then-Ohio governor Ted Strickland announced more than a million dollars in job training grants to First Solar.
- The Ohio Department of Development also lent First Solar $5 million, and the state's Air Quality Development Authority gave the company an additional $10 million loan.
After First Solar pocketed this $17.3 million in government grants and $15 million in government loans, Ex-Im entered the scene.
- In September 2011, Ex-Im approved $455.7 million in loan guarantees to subsidize the sale of solar panels to two wind farms in Canada.
- That means if the wind farm ever defaults, the taxpayers pick up the tab, ensuring First Solar gets paid.
But the buyer, in this case, was First Solar. A small corporation called St. Clair Solar owned the wind farm and was the Canadian company buying First Solar's panels. But St. Clair Solar was a wholly owned subsidiary of First Solar. So, basically, First Solar was shipping its own solar panels from Ohio to a solar farm it owned in Canada, and the U.S. taxpayers were subsidizing this "export."
This subsidy undermines the arguments for Ex-Im's existence. Ex-Im, whose authorization expires May 31, is supposed to be a job creator, helping U.S. manufacturers beat foreign manufacturers by having U.S. taxpayers backstop the financing.

Los Angeles (UPI) Jul 10, 2013
UCLA has announced its health system and its hospitals have been named among the nation's "most wired" in recognition of their use of information technology.
The annual Health Care's Most Wired Survey, sponsored by Hospitals and Health Networks magazine, measures a hospital's level of adoption of information technology in their health-care delivery systems, a UCLA release said Wednesday.
The university's award was based on a comprehensive assessment that examined its overall IT infrastructure and its use of IT and electronic processes (versus paper) for business and administrative purposes, clinical quality and safety, and clinical integration, the release said.
The Most Wired Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, looked at 1,713 hospitals, or roughly 30 percent of all hospitals in the United States.
"This award is the result of hard work by many dedicated staff and clinicians and expresses our core belief that quality information leads to improved patient care," said Virginia McFerran, chief information officer for the UCLA Health System.

Ad-Ventura: Ventura Cruise Review by Jonsal
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Barbados
We had a BALCONY cabin midships.Very nice that biscuits supplied with kettle and a choc on pillow at night. The beds were very narrow(and we're slim!),and balcony not that large but OK.Good shower and plenty of towels.
We dined in Saffron for B'fast+Dinner and the Maitre D' was so good in finding us a table-for-2.No good not to sit and hear the USUAL moans and groans!
The deck 15 buffet was manic...a glorified Mc Donalds frequented by the greedy ones(plates piled high with often uneaten food!) We dined in WHITE CLUB for £20 each..not as good as AZURA XVII speciality. Splashed out 15 quid each for EAST which was superb..best ever Sea Bass and gentle Thai service. The Beach House on D15 was also v.good,especially the "pay-food". Pizzeria(15) More also superb and very QUICK.
Just loved the 4 lectures by Mike Whitehouse,a former RED ARROW(1978-80),who also spoke on 617Sqn Dambusters.The shows weren't the best as male singer poor,but fab costumes. We loved the Lulu,George Michael and Cher tributes but best of all was Brett Cave..even better than Elton John..this boy is a "class act".
Down on deck 5 was the WHITEWALL Art Gallery. 3 super talks on Rolf Harris,Jack Vettriano and the oh-so-fab Argentinian Fabian Perez given by Ryann(S.A).Kirsty And Ryann were so delightful and pleasant..and not a bit "pushy". I finished up buying an Original..and bubbly on Whitewall!!!
There was usual stampede for sunbeds..but we're not into Skin Cancer..so no problem forus. Uncontrolled smoking on adjacent balconies was a prob for some..but we got lucky!
The port highlight was St.Maarten(Dutch) where we took a $10 taxi to wetch a KLM B747 almost land on the beach..Air France send a A340 but,also NOT daily.
Grand Turk was gorgeous.. pink sand/turquoise sea..beach stone's throw from ship! Ocho Rios is AWFUL...hostile natives +dreaded SANDFLIES. Domenica just a mass of trees/rainforest..been there,sadly got the T-Shirt!!
Special mention for Maitre D' Joy Fernandez from Mumbai and also Victor,Head Waiter,from Goa..both such wonderful ambassadors for P&O. The Indian(GOA) waiters worked their butts off to give us all a super holiday.
Capt.Hamish Reid was a real character..theatre full to hear him!
Only bad thing for me was the intensely aggressive, and totally unnecessary, security on boarding and reboarding.You'd have thought they were expecting the TALIBAN not nice Brit,well behaved passengers.Control freak/racism comes to mind.
P&O you did it for us...RCI beaten all hands down. Less

Who says you need power tools? Not this guy, and to prove it he used hand tools and hand-cranked tools to build an awesome foot-powered lathe.
I like everything about this project: the way he mixed and matched old machine parts with wooden parts he made himself, how he increased the capacity of the lathe by raising the tail stock with a carved wooden block, and that he went to the trouble to make a functional machine beautiful. I could watch this over and over again.

The story of the game in Pistons red, white and blue
– James Harden wasn't nearly as dynamic as he was in Houston's season-opening win at The Palace, when he put up 37 points and 12 assists, but on a night where points were precious, Harden's 20 were tough for the Pistons to overcome in a 96-82 defeat. The Pistons fell behind by 16 in the first half but closed the half on a 12-2 run to pull within six. They were within four in the third quarter when Houston went on a late 9-0 run to go up by 13 after three; it would become a 22-1 run and blow the game open before the Pistons made it a little closer in the final minutes. Only three Pistons scored in double figures with Brandon Knight's 12-point fourth quarter giving him 16 to lead them.
BLUE COLLAR – Omer Asik is likely the most unknown impact defender in the NBA, so Greg Monroe had to work for everything he got against one of Houston's key free-agent acquisitions. After going scoreless in the first quarter, Monroe ground out six points late in the second quarter to spark a 12-2 run and enable the Pistons to chop a 16-point deficit to six at halftime. Monroe, coming off a triple-double and double-double in his last two games, finished with another double-double, posting 12 points and 11 rebounds.
RED FLAG – The Pistons struggled to get to 40 percent shooting for much of the night – they finished exactly at that mark with a late flourish – so it was especially hurtful that they couldn't get anything at the foul line. Until Brandon Knight got to the line after the game was decided in the fourth quarter, the only Pistons who had shot free throws for the game were centers Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond with four attempts apiece.
HOUSTON – The Pistons hit the road and the road hit back. Though they weren't necessarily favored to win any of the six games on the season's longest road trip, coming home without a win to show for it – and a record of 0-7 to tie a franchise low – can't be anything but dispiriting.
"Extremely, extremely disappointing," Lawrence Frank said.
"I'm shocked," Tayshaun Prince said. "Because we put so much work into what we've done through training camp and preseason. We went at each other so hard in training camp. Things were getting better and better each day. And to regress now that we're playing is just tough to swallow."
The 96-82 loss to Houston in which the Pistons had a four-point game – it was 60-56 with 5:28 left in the third quarter – mushroom into a 23-point spread thanks to a 20-1 run that saw the Pistons go nearly a quarter without a basket was especially frustrating coming off an encouraging performance the previous night at Oklahoma City.
"It's just disappointing, especially considering what we saw yesterday," Frank said as the 0-7 start matched the franchise's worst, last achieved in 1980-81 when the Pistons wound up with the No. 2 pick and took Isiah Thomas in the draft. "A loss is a loss, but if you can build on it, then you can take some positives out of it. Unfortunately, it's a step backwards for us. We have to do a whole lot better."
"The way we're playing right now is unacceptable," Prince said. "Guys should be upset right now and we've just got to do better."
Prince wouldn't write off the loss as the byproduct of a team playing its fourth game in five nights on the finale of a 10-day trip that commenced the day after its season-opening loss to the same Houston team.
"There's something more to it," he said. "Playing against Oklahoma City yesterday, guys were enthused against them – more energy. Seems like when we're playing the teams that are so-called lesser opponents, our energy level has dropped. I think we've not necessarily been losing games before they start, I just think from jump balls the energy hasn't been there. We've just got to do a better job of understanding what it takes to win."
The lack of energy was most apparent in the offensive lethargy the Pistons displayed. Only a late spurt that cut Houston's 26-point lead in half made the final field-goal percentage of 40 respectable; for much of the game it hovered on either side of 35. The Pistons committed 18 turnovers and Frank said the number of possessions that resulted in the shot clock hitting five or under was more than in the rest of the regular season combined.
For the first 45 minutes of the game, the Pistons managed just 10 free throws – six by Andre Drummond, four by Greg Monroe, a clear sign of their lack of aggressiveness.
"Our spacing, our pace, overhandling the ball, turnovers … there was no offensive energy out there," Frank said. "Think about the amount of times the ball just stuck or we dribble the ball eight, nine, 10 times, dribbling the ball away from the basket, things we have not done. Not that we've been an offensive juggernaut, but this one, we don't even give ourselves a chance. When you can count the number of quality possessions, that's not a good thing."
The game was one dry spell on top of another, interrupted by brief stretches of offensive efficiency by a team that looked like what it was: a bedraggled bunch playing its seventh game in 11 days, its fourth in five and the last of an interminable road trip that sent them twice to California and included games in every U.S. mainland time zone but the one they call home.
A stretch of eight straight empty possessions in the first quarter enabled Houston to go on an 8-0 run to take a five-point lead. The Pistons were sputtering along with 27 first-half points until Greg Monroe – who finished with 12 points and 11 boards, his second straight double-double following Wednesday's triple-double at Sacramento – sparked a brief rally to cut a 16-point deficit to six at halftime.
And for all their offensive woes, they got to the midway point of the third quarter within four points when every ill the 0-7 start revealed coalesced into that 20-1 stretch that ultimately doomed them.
"We talked going in how this was going to be a test of our character," Frank said. "Four games in five nights, back to back, road trip hasn't gone real well. Could we build on last night? And we didn't. It's a tough one to swallow and we'll just have to keep on trying to figure some things out."

I was at Great Taste the other day eating a rice plate snack in the afternoon and noticed a 50ish woman eating the twin lobster special (dine-in only, Cantonese style preparation of ginger and scallion, $15.95) alone, with a side of chicken fried rice. Not only was I impressed by her appetite, but was kicking myself for not doing the same thing!
It got me wondering where the best place to get lobster is this time of year with a great accompanying menu. I love Great Taste's menu and don't need all the other seafood that a place like Peach Farm offers. I'm trying to organize a dinner in Chinatown for some friends who are not familiar with Cantonese style lobster and Chinese food in general. So my questions are 1) has anyone tried the lobster special at Great Taste, and 2) can any recommend an awesome place in Chinatown with excellent (affordable) lobster and a solid menu to boot?
I've read this thread, and although it's related, it's not quite what I'm getting at.:

by Nina Simonds (William Morrow)
you've been wrapped up in wraps the last few years and think you've
had your fill, leave a little room for Nina Simonds' Asian Wraps.
Wraps, of course, have been the hottest thing to hit the sandwich
world since sliced bread. And that's precisely their function, to
take the place of sliced bread. Flour tortillas, or other "wrappers,"
are topped with tempting fillings, rolled and tucked. With all the
outstanding rustic, home-style "boutique" breads on the market today,
though, I frankly never understood the pull of wraps. I'd rather
have my sandwich filling safely ensconced between two thick slices
of a stunning rosemary or kalamata olive bread. But Simonds prompted
me to leave my bread for breakfast toasting. Her wraps are glorious
concoctions of bold flavors with good reason to be wrapped. In Asian
tradition, she uses such wrappings as spring roll, egg roll, won
ton, dumpling, nori and rice wrappers and lotus and cabbage leaves.
sure hand with Asian cuisine (she's written many acclaimed Asian
cookbooks, including Asian Noodles and Classic Chinese
Cuisine) is apparent in the more than 75 beautifully photographed
recipes. She clearly explains all ingredients.
leaves, for example, would be used for steamed packages of food
and can be replaced by parchment paper. Cooks of Chinese food often
like the perfume the leaves lend to their steamed packets of rice
and meat. The leaves are not eaten and need to be softened before
use in hot water. When buying Mandarin pancakesa staple in
Northern China available in the U.S. frozen in Asian markets and
as takeout from some Chinese restaurantslook for thin ones.
Known to restaurant patrons as the wrapping for mu shu pork, they
are also wonderful stuffed with barbecued poultry and can be replaced
by flour tortillas. Simonds also tells you how to make your own
Mandarin pancakes. Once you've gotten your hands on some Mandarin
pancakes, you can get an idea of Simonds' savvy styleshe offers
both traditional and trendy turns.
Shu Shrimp starts with a classic marinade of rice wine or sak�,
fresh ginger and sesame oil. The shrimp is stir-fried with egg,
Chinese black mushrooms, leeks, Chinese cabbage and more fresh ginger
and rice wine or sak�. A traditional hoisin sauce is made from soy
sauce, sugar, ground black pepper, cornstarch and rice wine or sak�
and then smeared onto the Mandarin pancake.
Lamb With Flash-Cooked Fennel, though, is Simonds' completely original
take on what would make an outstanding Mandarin pancake filling.
The filling of seared sliced lamb with pink center is tossed with
slices of fennel, red bell pepper and scallions and a light soy
sauce-Chinese black vinegar (or Worcestershire) dressing.
repeats these kinds of traditional/trendy scenarios with similarly
sumptuous results. She'll tell you, for instance, how to make wonderful
classics like won tons (and spicy Sichuan ones), Chinese dumplings,
Vietnamese spring rolls (and Chinese and Cantonese ones) and sushi.
But she'll probably dazzle you even more with her own inventive
wraps such as Chinese Jerk Chicken with Mango Salsa in flour tortillas,
Grilled Miso Salmon With Sweet-and-Sour Cucumbers in butter lettuce
wrappers, Barbecued Halibut with Spicy Cilantro Paste in flour tortillas
and Fried Wild Mushroom Rice Wraps in Chinese cabbage leaves served
with a spicy Korean dipping sauce. To wrap up this whole thing,
following is one of Simonds' takes on a classic recipe followed
by a purely modern turn.

Fri. February 22, 2013 | Darek Sharp
VALRICO — On Friday, Durant actually allowed its opponent to score.
Despite having that mark against his name, Chaz Fowler managed to pull it together. The senior threw a complete game as the undefeated Cougars won 3-2 at Bloomingdale.
Durant had recorded shutouts in its first three games while hanging the lone losses on Plant and Riverview. Bloomingdale scratched runs off Fowler in the first two innings Friday but he went on to retire 19 of 20 batters.
"I was kind of upset, but the streak was eventually going to end," Fowler said. "I felt nice and relaxed tonight and got through some quick innings."
He gave up his only walk with two out in the seventh but then ended the game with his eighth strikeout.
The Cougars are off to a 2-0 start in ultra-competitive 8A-7. Durant jumped ahead 2-0 in the first on RBI singles from Luke Heyer and Paxton Sims, whose groundball took a nasty hop over freshman shortstop Austin James.
Bloomingdale (1-4) ended the Durant shutout streak when Justin Ambrosino drove a deep sacrifice fly to center, scoring Ryan Kelley, who led off with a single and stolen base.
Durant loaded the bases in the second, scoring when Cody Crouse uncorked a wild pitch. Crouse lasted five innings and struck out seven. Jamal Wilson struck out four in two innings of relief — and nearly tied the game leading off the bottom of the seventh. But Paxton Sims flagged down his long fly to right at the wall.
As good as Durant's pitching has been, the offense has yet to produce more than three runs. Coach Butch Valdes tried to force the issue in the third with a hit and run — but Sims' line drive went right to Kelley covering second for a double play.
"That could've broken it open," Valdes said. "We're trying to up the aggressiveness on offense. But it's nice to have something to work on early in the season."
Cougar catcher Tyler Long doubled and walked twice, the only two walks issued by the Bulls.

For risk-seeking investors, there are some potentially high-return opportunities available in merger arbitrage these days. In Part 1, I took a look at three potentially high-return trade ideas with M&A deals at different stages of the game. Here's a closer look at two more with premiums greater than 10%:
Advocat Inc. (AVCA), a Nashville-based firm in the medical/nursing homes sector, has received a friendly company takeover offer from U.S. investment company Covington Investments LLC. This deal was announced on May 11, 2012, and the acquirer is seeking a 100% purchase of the target. The announced value of this deal is $74.07 million, which represents a whopping current premium of 28.59% (lower than the 71.98% premium at the time of announcement, but still tremendous for alpha-seeking market participants). The acquirer proposes to pay $8.50 cash for each share of Advocat, which is a gross spread of just under $2 per share.
Potential investors should realize that the target shareholders blocked this transaction, effective May 13, 2012. However, talks appear to still be in progress, with Covington sending a letter to shareholders of the desired target. In this letter, the CEO of Covington noted similarities in a parallel transaction involving Sun Healthcare Group, Inc. (SUNH) in an attempt to persuade shareholders to approve the deal. Keeping an eye on this one could be interesting. Competitors to the target include privately held GGNSC Holdings LLC, Life Care Centers of America, Inc., SavaSeniorCare, LLC, and other long-term care facilities; health care services companies that are publicly traded include Unitedhealth Group, Inc. (UNH), HCA Holdings, Inc. (HCA), WellPoint Inc. (WLP), Aetna Inc. (AET), and more.
Allos Therapeutics Inc. (ALTH), a U.S. firm operating in therapeutics, is being sought after by Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SPPI), a player in the biomedical/pharmaceuticals field in a friendly 100% takeover. April 5, 2012 was the announcement date of this deal, and tender offer expiration is on July 23, 2012. Announced value in this all-cash transaction is at $75.45 million, with an announced premium of 22.62% and a surprisingly higher current premium of 27.27% (and increasing as the expiration date approaches). Spectrum has offered $1.82 per share of ALTH, resulting in a gross spread of $0.39/share. Financial advisers to the acquirer include RBS Capital Markets (with legal adviser White & Case LLP); the target's financial adviser is JP Morgan (JPM). Both the target and the acquirer's boards of directors have approved this transaction, effective April 5, 2012.
The drama surrounding the target firm in the mergers & acquisitions arena has played out over the past few years, but hopeful investors seek a close and a return on investment soon. They may well see that day come this year; with continued extensions of the tender offers from Spectrum, the July expiration may not be the last chapter in this story. Direct industry competitors to the target include BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BCRX), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY), privately held Cephalon, Inc., and others; in the biotechnology and generic drugmakers sectors, peer firms include Amgen Inc. (AMGN), privately held Genentech, Inc., Genzyme Corporation, etc., Biogen Idec Inc. (BIIB), Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD), Life Technologies Corporation (LIFE), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Pfizer Inc. (PFE), Mylan, Inc. (MYL), Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (WPI), Sanofi (SNY), GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK), Novartis AG (NVS), and many more.
Of course, as stated in the first segment of this series, any investors seeking such lucrative plays in merger arbitrage should realize that there is good reason the market hasn't fully priced in the offer per share into the price of targets' equity shares. Take into account the probability of the deal not gaining regulatory or government approval, management and company boards not approving the deal, or a whole host of other factors: these can all contribute to downside risk on these equities. In short, do your own due diligence before diving into one of these with hard-earned capital. However, in my experience, those holding a strongly justified contrarian view often achieve the best returns, especially when it comes to merger arbitrage plays. More to come.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in JPM, JNJ over the next 72 hours.

Smart and and Talk 'N Text subscribers should be relieved to know that their SIMs are BPI Express Mobile ready. Just activathe the BPI Mobile menu after following the instructions below (steps 2-5).
2. Register your cellphone and BPI account number by texting:
ENROLL<space><ACCOUNT NUMBER><space><JOINT ACCOUNT INDICATOR>

Few NFL Draft prospects for former WPIAL players
Mike Farrell leaves Penn State for good Friday. His next stop is anyone's guess, and that includes Farrell.
The offensive tackle, Pitt wide receiver Mike Shanahan and California safety Rontez Miles are among former WPIAL players who are hoping to get taken in the NFL Draft or at least sign with a team as an undrafted free agent.
WPIAL products from Mike Ditka and Joe Namath to Joe Montana and Dan Marino hold a place in NFL lore, but this is not a great draft year when it comes to Western Pennsylvania players.
None of them will get taken in the first two days of the draft, which starts Thursday. Farrell, a Shady Side Academy graduate, and Shanahan, a Norwin graduate, probably won't get picked until the seventh round if they are selected at all. Miles, a Woodland Hills graduate, is also projected as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent.
"I think I have an outside chance of getting drafted," said Farrell, who started every game last season and earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors. "I'm growing confident that my name is out there."
Indeed, the Saints hosted Farrell for a visit a couple of weeks ago. The 6-foot-6, 303-pounder worked out for the Patriots later that week in State College.
Farrell spent the last three months working out in State College. Former Nittany Lions offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski, now with the Raiders, worked with Farrell and center Matt Stankiewitch, helping each prepare for Penn State's Pro Day.
"Stefan really helped us because he was almost our position coach this spring," Farrell said.
Farrell said five or six teams have called to make sure they can get in contact with him this weekend. Shanahan, meanwhile, said about 15 teams have called him or his agent Bill Parise, mainly to chat and ensure his phone number is good. Shanahan left Pitt fifth on the all-time receptions list (159) — one behind No. 4 Dietrich Jells and two behind No. 3 Larry Fitzgerald — and seventh in receiving yards (2,276).
Shanahan will switch to tight end or H-back in the NFL, so he has worked hard since the end of the season, his fifth at Pitt. The result is he has added about 20 pounds to a 6-5 frame, eating three substantial meals per day and drinking protein shakes. He is likely to report to his new team at 245 pounds.
The anxiety and uncertainty connected to the draft — and his future — has been weighing on him.
"It's definitely exciting," Shanahan said. "At the same time, I kind of want it to be over with, but it's part of the process. I'm trying to enjoy it. I will be a little bit nervous, but it will be fun."

I like the idea of providing a way for users to request non-fencing, perhaps only allowed for SELECT CTEs. I don't like the GUC approach. I also wonder if it'd make sense and/or be possible to have the fence applied on a per-CTE basis (inside of the same overall query). If we add a keyword for this and it's not hard to do, I think that'd be a really neat capability. (No, unlike the OP, I don't have specific use cases for that offhand, but why limit it to all or nothing for an entire query..) Thanks, Stephen

Every time brokers upgrade their forecast for the Australian dollar, it spells bad news for the sharemarket. This week Deutsche Bank analysts said they now expect the $A to be around $US1.01 by the end of next year; that prompted a report telling clients they should be bracing themselves for a host of earnings downgrades across the resources and industrials sectors.
Overall, expectations for the next financial year are for industrial earnings to grow at a lofty 12 per cent year-on-year
(16 per cent for industrials ex-financials).
But any hint of downgrades causes investors to become very nervous.
More earnings downgrades are on the cards due to weak consumer sentiment, while talk of more interest rate rises is also a concern for stocks.
In the US, investors have moved out of equities over the past month, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index has held up quite well due to defensive stocks that have become very popular.
Professional investors have been switching into healthcare companies, utilities and consumer staples, all former laggards.
At the same time, energy and commodities-linked stocks, that helped the blue-chip index rise earlier this year are no longer so popular.
The switch goes a long way to explaining why the Dow Jones is still up 9 per cent this calendar year, while the local S&P/ASX 200 is flat.
It also explains why the S&P 500 is down just 1.9 per cent from its cyclical peak in late April, while over the same period, the Thompson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index of major commodity prices has slumped 8.1 per cent and the local sharemarket has dipped about 3.5 per cent.
If investors want to get defensive, one sector worth a look are the utilities.
One negative for the sector is the large amounts of capital spending, but both companies have said they will ensure they maintain their hard-earned investment-grade ratings.
Deutsche reckons stocks that could face the largest downgrades for the 2012 financial year include Iluka, OZ Minerals, Macarthur Coal, Caltex, Santos, Amcor, CSL, One Steel, BlueScope Steel and Aristocrat Leisure.

It can be difficult to explain to consumers that inflation is under control when food prices and energy costs are going through the roof. Just ask William Dudley, president of the New York branch of the US Federal Reserve.
Recently, the former chief economist at Goldman Sachs called on some Wall Street logic when he was trying to explain to a group of working-class residents from the Queens area what a great job the Fed was doing by keeping inflation low.
But they were having none of it. To them inflation was everywhere. For a start he was bombarded with questions about the high cost of food. He responded by explaining that the price of food might be rising, yet the price of many other goods had actually fallen.
As an example he pointed out that "today you can buy an iPad 2 that costs the same as an iPad 1 but is twice as powerful".
Amid laughter from the residents of the working-class suburb, the initial response from someone in the crowd was: "I can't eat an iPad.'' Another asked: "When was the last time, sir, that you went grocery shopping?"
Marie Antoinette famously said "Let them eat cake", as the peasants starved during the French Revolution, and some wags were quick to say the phrase should be updated to "let them eat iPad" following the attempt by Dudley to sell his monetary policy to everyday Americans.
Dudley was no doubt trying to explain how the Fed sees things. For sure, food prices are on the rise, but at the same time, other prices are falling.
The Fed of course looks at core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy costs, so it can get a better sense of where inflation may actually be heading.
But saying that if you don't count food and energy prices aren't going up much doesn't really help consumers. After all they can't borrow at an interest rate of close to zero and speculate on financial markets.
At first glance inflation in the US looks in good shape with annualised headline inflation at 2.7 per cent in March and core inflation (excluding volatile food and energy prices) at 1.2 per cent.
But according to Kapstream Capital, actual inflation in the form of what consumers really buy appears to be much higher.
The bond manager reckons there have been 24 hedonic adjustments to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculation over the past 33 years.
Excluding these adjustments, if inflation was calculated the same way it was in the 1980s, it would be in the 10 per cent range today.

A year ago it looked like the world was going to enjoy a bumper wheat harvest and prices would fall.
But a drought in Russia and poor weather in China helped send prices to their highest levels since the food crisis of 2007 and 2008.
The high price of wheat was behind the riots in the Middle East earlier this year, when hedge funds increased their bullish bets to the highest in three years. Lately there has been some talk the world could face higher prices as the US dollar remains weak and crops fall short of producing adequate supply.
One bright spot is that the US Department of Agriculture doesn't think it will happen. It forecasts a strong rebound in global production to 670 million tonnes, up from last season's 648 million.
Others, however, are not quite so optimistic, given more dry weather in northern Europe and the southern US.
Last week, the Wheat Quality Council, after its annual tour around 100 Kansas wheat fields so it can estimate yields said the crops would yield just 37.4 bushel per acre this season, down from 45 bushels last season.
Furthermore, the Canadian Wheat Board warned that planting was behind, with only 3 per cent of the crop sown, compared with the 40 per cent or so that is more in line for this time of the year.
At one stage this week wheat prices were up 17 per cent before easing slightly on Thursday night. But wheat futures are still up 91 per cent over the past year.
Europe's crop, making up a fifth of global output, is also under threat in the UK, France and Germany courtesy of the driest growing conditions in at least 36 years.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
HI, I would be happy to help you today with this problem. My name IsXXXXX and I have been in practice for 23 years.Is the color of this object in his eye brown or black?
Ok, I will go ahead and give you info since you have not responded to my question. My concern with a Shepherd mix and what you have described bearing in mind that I cannot examine Mr Sam is a possible melanoma. That is my primary concern. The best way to determine if in fact it is melanoma is to have a veterinary ophthalmologist examine the eye. They have a very special type of light that will allow them to be able to tell if it is a malignant lesion or a benign lesion. If it is a melanoma and has not spread then Sam can have his eye removed and be cured. If it is a melanoma, the longer you wait to have an ophthalmologist look at it the greater the chance for spread. Sure, it could be a uveal cyst but with his breed and age tumor is much more likely and the reason I am encouraging to get it checked out soon. Please let me know if you have any further questions at all as I will be glad to assist you further. Sincerely, Dr.J
Sorry, I had to leave the computer for a few minutes... The spot looks black, if that tells you anything? You've got me concerned now!
I did not mean to worry you. I just want Sam to be ok. And the best way for him to be ok, is to have a vet ophtho doc look at it. A GP vet cannot tell you whether it is melanoma or not. They can only speculate. But if not spread, it can be cured easily. Does that make sense?
Yes, it does. But just out of interest...the difference between a brown or black spot is?....
Melanomas can look black or brown. Usually having an ophtho doc look at it is not a big deal. And most GP vets can take the eye out if necessary. And dogs do great with one eye. Also can look and see if he really has cataracts or just age change in his lenses. Pretty simple tests for vet ophtho doc.
Well, it looks as though I need to have him checked out ASAP. Thanks so much. Final question - if the doc finds it's benign, does he still need to lose the eye???
If it is benign and not affecting any structures in the eye or causing increase in intraocular pressure, then Sam can keep his eye! :))Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you. I want you to feel comfortable with what you need to do.
Thank you so much. You've helped a great deal!!
You are more than welcome. If you need anything else, just ask for DrJ. Good luck to you and Mr Sam!!
Thanks!! Actually, he has a sore hind knee, and now I'm reckoning I'd best get him checked out even more in case he has mets to his leg...hope not, as he's always had clicky hips - a rescue, emaciated at 1 year old, etc., lots of PT in the pool on the treadmill, etc. But in the past six months a sore leg that comes and goes. Oh well. Now I know what I must do.
With that sore leg, also have 4DX test done too.This will check for different tick borne disease. It is probably not from tumor in eye.
4DX - a blood test?
Glad to hear you did PT with him. I am a certified canine rehab therapist. Yes, 4dx is blood test and they only need a few drops of blood.
Yes, got a rescue to avoid high pedigree fees...and spent $1000 on rehab!!!!!!!!!!!! But we love him dearly. I so appreciate your help Dr J!
Glad to help you anytime!!!!

text: No clever titles required. When Sophie Turner shows up, you know what you're going to get - ass, and plenty of it. Even when she's doing the relatively mundane task of paying for parking or strolling through the park, you still get tons of ass wrapped up tight in sexy shit. Girl probably went in for her many surgeries wearing a thong and 6-inch pumps. Obvious attempts at sexual arousal aside, there are a few things about Sophie that aren't so obvious or understood. For instance, she doesn't speak with an Australian accent, despite having been born and raised there. I guess if you spend enough time in a foreign land you pick up the local accents, but usually there's a residual something in the voice. Girl sounds like every woman I know from California. Not a trace of her homeland in her voice. Does she forsake her roots for the California chickie dialect? No way to know. More surprising than that is the fact that Sophie is technically a lawyer. It's true, girl got a law degree from UCLA last year, which I guess means Sophie is thinking of something to fall back on in the future when her ass can no longer defy gravity. Anyone want to be represented by Sophie? At least you'd go into it knowing that, whatever the verdict, you're going to get off.

State agency reviews PRWD's plant project
A state agency's evaluation finds logic in Pioneer Water District's intent to build its first treatment plant. As required by legislation signed into law by Governor Haley last year, Pioneer Water authorized an accountant to conduct an independent audit. In turn, as required by law, that audit was forwarded for review by the South Carolina Office of Regulatory Staff. The ORS staff concluded: "A new WTP may allow Pioneer to maintain reasonable rates for its customers and provide adequate water service while gaining greater control of the cost to provide water service." Since it was formed in 1965, Pioneer Water has bought water wholesale from cities, such as Seneca and Westminster. By directly retailing water to its customers in Oconee and Anderson counties, Pioneer would avoid municipal wholesale purchases, subject to rate increases.
