I've seldom seen stock market investors so contented as they are right now. It's like the feeling you get after a big Thanksgiving feast — fat, happy, sleepy. Today's new yearly high on the S&P 500 index (the 14th new 52-week closing high the index has registered in 2013) only deepens the sense of peace and safety.
Yet, in the room next door, Mr. Market is fumbling around, making noises with the furniture. He's up to his old tricks, planning a little surprise for the unwary.
While most investors are leaning back in their easy chairs, the corporate insiders (officers and directors of America's publicly traded corporations) have uncorked a torrent of selling in their own stock. Over the past eight weeks, according to Vickers, insider sell transactions have outnumbered buys for all listed shares by a whopping 5.2 to 1.
We're closing in on the 5.5 ratio that has put the kibosh on even the most dynamic market rallies of the past six years. Strangely, though, few of the Nervous Nelly technicians who normally rant and rave over heavy insider selling are uttering a peep. The market's vertical rise since year-end has stunned the bears into silence.
Click to Enlarge Too bad for them, because the objective price evidence shows that the post-Nov. 15 advance is fast running out of steam. This chart will show you what I mean.
It plots the percentage deviation between the daily close of the S&P 500 index and its 10-day average. As you can see, this indicator peaked in early January. It has since made a series of lower highs (note the trendline), diverging from the index itself, which has continued to rise.
This pattern of fading upside momentum is typical of a market advance in its mature stages. A "correction" is coming soon. The insiders know it, but the broad investing public doesn't (yet).
How severe a setback? At this point, I'm not expecting more than 3% to 5% on the Dow or S&P. However, these things can sometimes get out of hand, as in the summer of 2011. Thus, at the very least, you should throttle back on your stock buying. I also advise you to sell stocks (or mutual funds) with high betas (high volatility characteristics). These investments are the most likely to get hurt in a general market retreat.
Click to Enlarge Lately, we've heard a buzz of warnings — invariably from equity bulls — that the junk-bond market is in trouble. If these folks would only take a few minutes to study their charts, they'd realize how logically inconsistent this posture is.
Overlay a chart of any junk-bond ETF like the iShares iBoxx High Yield Corp. Bond ETF (NYSE:HYG) or SPDR Barclays Capital High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE:JNK) against a chart of the S&P 500. You'll find an extremely high correlation. Except for one thing: The junk bonds hold their ground better than equities in a falling market.
Thus, it's the height of folly to advise investors to sell junk bonds and buy stocks. If "junk" is going down, stocks are going down more!
My pick for exposure to junk is Wells Fargo High Income Advantage Fund (MUTF:STHYX). With its relatively short maturity structure, STHYX is safer than most other junk-bond funds — and much safer than almost any equity fund. Current yield: 5.7%.

|Well Done: Errant ember from unattended grill serves as reminder to keep a close watch during dry conditions
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
June 21, 2006 -- Burning wood that fell out of an unsupervised charcoal grill caught the wooden deck of a second-floor apartment balcony in the 100 block of South League Street on fire around 2:45 p.m. Tuesday.
A resident in a neighboring apartment said he called for firefighters after he smelled smoke.
"I smelled it clear into my house," said Antonio Shanks. "It was just that hickory smell."
Shanks stepped outside and saw the upstairs balcony on fire and ran across the street to call 911.
"I looked at my daughter and said 'Man, I gotta go and call before this catches and the balcony falls in on top of my kids or something,'" he said.
Shanks said he did not stop to try to put the fire out.
"We don't have water back here either, or I would have put it out myself," he said. "There are no [outside] water faucets at all, and my neighbor's [water] was way over there."
When firefighters arrived on the scene, the blaze was quickly extinguished and the burned section of the balcony floor was chopped out to prevent the fire from rekindling. Damage was limited to that section of the floor.
Assistant Fire Chief Tim Vaughn said whatever had been cooking was "well done."

There's also this from the Peterman Book by Marguerite Tise:
The Burke Family
James Burke was a pioneer settler in Southwest Virginia for whom
Burkes Garden in Tazewell County was named and also, it is said, Burks Fork
in Floyd County.
James Burke, born in Ireland, came to America and settled in Goshen,
Chester County, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Society of Friends.
ON July 11, 1730, at the Goshen Monthly Meeting of Quakers in Chester
County, James Burke and Mary Bane were married. Mary Bane, also a member of
the Society of Friends, was a daughter of Mordecai Bane and his first wife
Naomi Medley. Mordecai Bane and Naomi Medley were married at St. Paul's
Church in Chester County, PA, on Dec. 20, 1705. Naomi Medley Bane died,
date unknown, and Mordecai Bane married Mary Teague on June 8, 1731, at
Christ Church Philadelphia. Mordecai Bane died in 1747 and left a will in
which he named his six sons and six daughters: Mordecai, Nathan, James,
Joseph, Samuel, Isaac, and Sarah, Hannah, Rachel, Barbara, Jane, and Mary.
James and Mary Bane Burke left Pennsylvania and settled in North
Carolina near the Yadkin River. They moved again about 1740 to Virginia on
Goose Creek (Roanoke River) where the present town of Salem is located.
James Burke is mentioned for the first time in Virginia records in 1742 as a
member of George Robinson's Company of Militia. Mary Bane Burke died in
1750 and James Burke married Lucretia Rees Griffith, widow of Methusalem
Griffith. Lyky Rees and Methusalem Griffith were married in Christ Church,
Philadelphia, and very likely the Burkes, Banes and Griffiths knew each
other in Pennsylvania.
James Burke accompanied James Patton and Dr. Thomas Walker when they
made several surveys west of the Alleghany Mountains on the waters of New
River and Holston River. He owned a large tract of land in present Tazewell
County where he was attacked by Indians and barely escaped with his life.
This tract later became known as Burkes Garden.
James and Lucretia Burke moved to North Carolina in Surrey County
where he died in 1783 and where his will was recorded. His children by his
firs wife, Mary Bane Burke were: Mary Burke, m. __________ Murphy; Sarah
Burke, m. Samuel Wilson, B. 1733; James Burke, Jr.; Joseph Burke, m.
Margaret Grant; _______ Burke, m. William Brookshire; Naomi Burke
(1746-1805) m. March 13, 1764, Samuel Pepper (1735-1805). Naomi, four years
old when her mother died, was raised by her sister, Sarah Burke Wilson.
In his book, Virginia Frontier, F. B. Kegley states that James
Burke's daughter, Rebecca married Samuel Wilson of South Fork. This
apparently is a mistake as James Burke in his will names his daughter Sarah
Wilson. Sarah and Samuel Wilson lived in Bedford County. They had two
(known) children: Mary (Polly) Wilson who married Capt. John Lucas; and
Theodocia Wilson who married Captain Benjamin Johnston.

All we seem to have come up with so far is exactly what you presume...that
of the web sites have it wrong and the "Samuel Wilson" of Point Pleasant is
the one who married Sarah Burke and was the father of Mary Wilson Lucas.
dates are all wrong and he was clearly married to Mary Babb.
I once contacted a prominent Burke researcher and discussed this because he
the incorrect info on his own site. We both agreed that we needed to keep
looking for the correct Samuel Wilson.
I'm with you--if anyone ever DOES come across info about the right one, I
be thrilled. That would surely open up another whole line of the family
is currently a dead end. I am even more interested in tracing down this man
the Wilson name also appears in my own family history and I'd love to know
Clay and I are "kissin cousins" from a long way back. Who knows??!!

This may have been discussed on the Floyd list before but thought I'd throw
out again, since I'm new. A Mary Wilson married my John Lucas in 1777. Her
father was a Samuel Wilson. Many of my family's researchers think it was
Samuel Wilson who died at the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. I don't.
man who died in 1774 left a will naming a wife Mary who was Mary Babb. My
had a wife Sarah Burk or Burke. And there are a number of fact bits on a
Wilson living in the same area as John Lucas way after 1774. Anybody have
anything on this? Sandy in California

We look forward to sharing our beautiful home in Montana with you!
We loved the home and the location. We had a few problems on or shortly after arrival. The internet was incredibly slow, a toilet handle was broken, the bunk beds were loose causing loud squeaks, the refrigerator light was out and the ice make was not making ice. The toilet, beds, and fridge light were fixed the same day and we reported them. The internet was "unable" to be fixed. We were able to fix the ice maker. The day after the repairs were made, the kitchen faucet started leaking. We reported the problem, but that problem was not fixed over the remaining 4 days of our visit. Although this sounds bad, the overall stay was enjoyable.
Everything was exactly like described in the posting. It was perfect for two families with kids. Loved the room upstairs for all the kids! Easy access to ski areas close to Bozeman. Will definately come back next year! Owners made it a seemless process to rent this VRBO!
28 of our family members came skiing at Bridger. We rented two houses. Three families stayed at this house. They told me everything was really nice and they were glad there were three bathrooms. Plenty of room for their children. Very comfortable.
We had a very pleasant stay. The house is very clean and well maintained. Close to everything. We shoveled snow when we first arrived but then the second day someone came and shoveled some more. There were 2 garage door openers but only one of them worked. The keypad lock on the front door was a little confusing and I would recommend the owner should write some directions on its use. We ate most of our meals in the house. We went out one time to the Ale Works. One of our daughter's favorite places. We definitely recommend this house.
I have stayed at this location before and it is always clean, convenient, and roomy. I will stay there again.
House was impressive. Plenty of room. No one had to wait for a bathroom, and we had 10 people two nights. Beds were comfortable. Hosts were available and attentive. Great location in Bozeman. We had a great wedding weekend, and having this space contributed to that. Would definitely look to this rental first if the need arose.

Yes, it's not an OS-level driver, but rather some code in LinuxBIOS itself. It runs at boot-time, milliseconds after the power-on. > And when a new superIO driver is completed, how can we test it? Hm, I think the only way is to do this on a supported mainboard. You _can_ test the early COM1 serial init of the Super I/O on almost any board (that part can work even before the RAM is initialized by LinuxBIOS), but the other stuff (PNP init for LDNs) is done later and will likely only be possible to test on boards (more or less) fully supported by LinuxBIOS. http://linuxbios.org/Supported_Motherboards > >Some help with embedded controllers in laptops/notebooks > > So far, I've got no ideas with this part. :( OK, please let us know if/when you can find out more about this, that's a very "hot topic" for LinuxBIOS, as we currently don't support any laptops. > >Superiotool > > We could provide the information of our superIO output. Yep, thanks! > Anyway, I hope I can help a bit about our superIO chips' work in the > future. Great, thanks! That's very appreciated. For reference (for the LinuxBIOS mailing list subscribers), here's the original mail: --- snip --- > Let me introduce myself to you, I am in charge of several Winbond > hardware monitor chips driver work under Linux.

Feel free to also post this to the LinuxBIOS mailing list, I'm sure other people will appreciate to know about this... > So here my question is: Could you tell me what can we (as the super I/O > manufacturer) do to contribute to this project? Well, depends a bit... Right now I can think of a few things: - Provide datasheets. Thankfully most (all?) are publically available, but if there are some chips without public datasheet it would be great to make those public, or (if not possible) to send them to one or two LinuxBIOS developers. - For LinuxBIOS purposes we don't need to do too much initialization, the real hard work (as far as sensors are concerned) is done in the OS (i.e. by Linux and lm-sensors). What we usually need is a small "driver" which enables the COM port(s) so we can get serial debug ouput via a null-modem cable. Later in the boot process we init the keyboard parts, parallel ports, etc. etc. (the logical devices). Some very few parts need some special init for SMBus or HW monitoring/sensors. An example: http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/browser/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/superio/winbond/w83627ehg/superio.c#L85 In the past there was one driver per Super I/O, but we're working on creating generic drivers for Super I/Os in LinuxBIOS which can handle _all_ (or at least most) Super I/Os from one vendor. I've done such a driver for SMSC chips, see http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/browser/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/superio/smsc/smscsuperio It supports ca. 15 different SMSC chips from the same code base, which is really a great improvement (vs. having 15 almost-indentical drivers with lots of duplicated code). I've started a similar driver for Winbond chips, too, but it's not yet finished. If you want I can post a first version of the code in a few days or so, any help with improving that code would be great! FYI, the currently supported Super I/Os in LinuxBIOS are listed here: http://linuxbios.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices The current code for the Winbond chips is here: http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/browser/trunk/LinuxBIOSv2/src/superio/winbond - Some help with embedded controllers in laptops/notebooks would be very appreciated. One area where LinuxBIOS lacks support right now is laptops. Not a single laptop is supported, mainly because we don't have the knowledge / datasheets of how to handle the early boot process on laptops (where the ECs seem to play a big role). It would be absolutely fantastic if you could help us to support a laptop with already-working chipset and CPU and a Winbond EC where you know how to do the early boot-up stuff... Say, something recent with AMD CPU (K8) and a supported southbridge, e.g. NVIDIA CK804 or MCP55, and a Winbond EC + Super I/O. We probably don't support special chipsets for laptops yet, but apparently there's at least one or two laptops with "standard" desktop chipsets out there which would make a good first target. - Superiotool. This is a user-space tool (only loosely related to LinuxBIOS), which can detect Super I/Os and dump their register contents. Adding support for more Winbond chips to superiotool would be greatly appreciated, too (esp. for chips where we cannot get public datasheets). The current Winbond-status/-code is here: http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/browser/trunk/util/superiotool/winbond.c Also, as you probably have access to some boards with Winbond chips, posting the output of 'superiotool -d' to the mailing list would be nice (we're collecting a few sample register dumps for every chip for reference and easier debugging in case we have Super I/O related bugs). - Maybe other things I cannot think of right now. As I said, please also write to the mailing list, maybe other developers can provide further hints etc. --- snip --- Uwe. -- http://www.hermann-uwe.de | http://www.holsham-traders.de http://www.crazy-hacks.org | http://www.unmaintained-free-software.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

As ever, Kathleen Wynne took care not to completely toss Dalton McGuinty under the bus.
"I'm going to talk about myself, because premier McGuinty will have to talk about himself," Ms. Wynne said during an interview on Tuesday.
But there was an implicit contrast drawn in the words that followed, as Ms. Wynne answered a question about lessons to be drawn from her predecessor's ignominious exit, and in particular the way he seemed oblivious to how he was perceived by the outside world.
"I have always operated staying very close to voices on the outside of government," Ms. Wynne said. "If I ever lose touch with people who have nothing to do with government, people who are completely on the outside watching – if I lose touch with people who deliver the services to our children, in our hospitals, building our roads – then I will make mistakes."
It was an unlikely coincidence that, in the same interview, Ms. Wynne made reference to "unacceptable mistakes" in the costly gas-plant cancellations that helped drive Mr. McGuinty from office. Among other lessons – that the government needed a "more transparent process" for making its decisions, as she put it – the scandal seems to have inspired her to make almost frantic efforts to avoid isolation.
That fate, by many accounts, is one that befell Mr. McGuinty. Always a somewhat aloof figure who did little socializing beyond his own family, he became all the more so with his time in power. Ultimately he relied on a tiny circle of advisers when making key decisions, fell in thrall with the odd policy guru, and had very few encounters with members of the general public. For that matter, he barely interacted with his own caucus; Liberal MPPs ruefully complain that he never accepted invitations to lunch with them before their weekly meetings, and catch up casually.
Ms. Wynne, who for the record accepts the lunch invitations, came into her job less prone to disconnectedness. Unlike Mr. McGuinty, who became an MPP after his father died suddenly while in office, her political roots are as an activist. She is very much a people person, adept at putting strangers at ease and at building and maintaining relationships.
Still, she has now entered what is by its nature an isolating experience. The Premier of the country's largest province cannot drive her own car, and cannot go out in public without her police escort. She has enough important files on her desk to keep her occupied day and night, and staff to cater to her every need and edict. The more that she ventures outside that sphere, the more grief she can expect to find, and the more danger of her saying or doing something that gets her in trouble.
Succumbing to such a fate would be especially detrimental to a politician for whom being accessible and down-to-earth has been a big part of restoring her party's fortunes. And that helps explain why Ms. Wynne currently does more public events on an average day than Mr. McGuinty would have on a busy one.
"It's very important to me that I remain accessible, that I keep myself open to commentary from people around the province, which is why I'm going to be spending the summer travelling the province," she said in the interview. "People have said, 'does that mean you're in campaign mode?' That's not what it is. It's how I do politics."
With every month that she remains in office, doing politics her way will get harder. Mistakes, borne of tone-deafness or a lack of self-awareness, will get easier.
But Ms. Wynne sat at Mr. McGuinty's cabinet table long enough to know what the bubble looks like; to know how dangerous it is. And she is trying very hard not to let it close around her.Report Typo/Error

Current title:
Senior Industrial Hygiene Program Manager, Commandant of the United States Marine Corps Safety Division
Previous active duty title:
Deputy Director of Public Health, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Washington, D.C. I retired in 2006 after 28 years at the rank of Captain, Medical Service Corps, United States Navy.
Military branch:
United States Navy
How did Montevallo affect your military career choice? What aspects of your education at Montevallo prepared you for your service in the military?
UM indirectly affected my military career choice. UM prepared me for choices; the military was not a typical career choice for college graduates in May 1974. My UM degree earned me a teaching assistantship at Samford University, MS Biology, '77 and toxicology experience as associate biologist ('74-'77) at Southern Research Institute.
In 1977 "industrial hygiene was an up-and-coming career" and the military needed additional industrial hygienists in response to the Occupational Safety and Health Act. A fellow graduate student's interest in Navy's officer programs led me to apply to the Navy. The UM education and toxicology experience resulted in a commission as a Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG), Industrial Hygiene Officer (IHO), in the Navy's Medical Service Corps.
After the Navy I continue serving Marines, sailors and civilian employees as a civil service industrial hygienist for the United Sates Marine Corps.
Words of wisdom:
UM prepares you for choices. A degree is valuable, but it is the sum of one's college experiences that makes you a whole person.
Who would you like to thank for your success?
My biology professors Dr. Sledge, Dr. Turner, Dr. Eagles and Dr. McGuire.
What was your favorite aspect of Montevallo?
Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky, who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon College wrote of his college, "both isolated and pastoral, is a small place to think big thoughts." He captures for me what I remember about UM too: tree-lined sidewalks and streets paved with red bricks linking dormitories with academic buildings and lots of tree-shaded lawns.

Pope Francis recently apologized to the Waldensians. They had their beginnings in the 12th century, anticipating many of the teachings of the Reformation four hundred years later, which the group then joined. The Waldensians suffered centuries of persecution from the Roman Catholic Church, culminating in the Easter massacre in the Piedmont of Italy in 1655, when some 1,700 men, women, children, and infants were slaughtered in the most brutal ways imaginable. (See the Wikipedia article linked, above.)
Read this chilling 17th-century catalogue of the atrocities. Then, after the jump, read the sonnet that John Milton wrote about this mass martyrdom, given, along with a news story about the Pope's asking for forgiveness from the 30,000 Waldensians still in Italy. (There are more in Germany, the United States, Uruguay, and the the Pope's native Argentina.) [Read more…]

Keren Ann is relatively unheard of in the United Kingdom; she's a musical artist that one of your friends probably keeps secret, in the fear that you may take her away from them. Listening to her sixth studio album 101, leaves you asking the question: why haven't I already heard Keren Ann, and why has it taken six albums before I heard her at all!?
With a Dutch and Israeli background, Keren Ann Zeidel now lives and records in New York. The truth is, if you have ever seen any of the big American dramas on TV, such as Grey's Anatomy or Six Feet Under, then you have probably heard her already, as she has had her music regularly featured on these shows. The mood of these American dramas gives you a good idea of the matching mood that Keren puts out in her music, thoughtful and solemn.
All ten tracks are written, arranged and produced by Keren herself, making 101 a fantastic introduction to her impressive talent and musical ability. The songs on the album are diverse; they push you through the track listing and keep you guessing as to what's coming next.
All the Beautiful Girls takes a more laid back approach, relying wonderfully on the acoustic guitar to carry the song over a backing of beautifully balanced orchestral string sections. Sugar Mama is much more of a pop hit with a twist, but the song never steers too far away from the atmosphere that is consistent throughout 101. The piano led, Blood on My Hands, describes an imaginary massacre of the audience: 'there was blood on my make-up, there was blood on the piano', she sings calmly; an example of Keren's imaginative lyrical choices.
101 is a fantastic achievement, and a true piece of musical art. While on first listen it may not seem as if it's for everyone, further replays reveal new surprises that will keep you coming back again and again.
Keren Ann is about to embark on a US tour with The Roots, and in the past she has played shows with some prestigious musicians such as Rufus Wainright amongst many others; an impressive collection of music superstars that 101 proves she is capable of keeping up with.
101 is released on 4th April from EMI. The first single is My Name Is Trouble.

Prior to moving in to a full time management role, I specialised in large and catastrophic personal injury work for insurers. I now manage three practice groups that act for a variety of insurers, adjusters, brokers and corporate clients on a wide range of insurance issues.
I head up DWF's nationwide insurance team and sit on the strategic board. I joined a team of five in 1989 and the now 1000 strong insurance team has grown to be one of the largest legal teams in the UK. This has been achieved through the development of long standing relationships with some of the UK's largest insurers and claims organisations, including Ageas, Allianz, Aviva, Chubb, LV, QBE, RSA, Travelers and Zurich.
My primary role is to support and challenge our client partners to not only deliver a first class service and results to clients, but also to ensure that our team has a deep understanding of the challenges faced by the insurance sector so we can enable our clients to be a step ahead. A deep understanding of our client's business objectives is crucial so that we can consistently support them and add value.
Although my roots are in the motor and casualty market, I also take an active role with our Professional Indemnity and Real Estate teams and am proud of the market leading offering that we have developed.
Outside of the office I enjoy a round of golf and am a Liverpool FC season ticket holder.

Kristy Swanson is being tipped to play Anna Nicole Smith on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent."
No stranger to scandal and controversy herself, Kristy Swanson is being tipped to play Anna Nicole Smith on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent."
The "Criminal Intent" version of Anna Nicole's life and death is coming this May. So you better get ready. What's more, it is also rumored that comedic actor Jon Lovitz will play the former Playboy Playmate's manager, lawyer and companion Howard K. Stern.
While a combined character loosely based on Anna's mother Virgie Arthur and sister is also being contemplated, writers from the show would not include Larry Birkhead, who claims to be the father of Smith's baby daughter, Dannielynn.
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent" is an American crime drama television series. The show stars Vincent D'Onofrio and Chris Noth as detectives Robert Goren and Mike Logan, who work for the New York Police Department's Major Case Squad.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo University volleyball team (26-10, 6-8 SSC) fell to the Nova Southeastern University Sharks (21-9, 9-5 SSC) in straight sets (25-20, 25-14, 25-20) Saturday afternoon at the Bowman Center.
Michelle Nogueras notched her 30th double-double of the season compiling 27 assists and 12 digs in the conference loss. The setter also totaled eight kills and hit .727 for the match leading all Lions. Sophomore Kaitlin McKenna tried to keep the squad in contention, killing nine balls and recording three block assists. Junior Jenna Jordan struck eight kills to the floor and dug nine balls while Chelsea Armer recorded ten digs and six kills.
Jordan got the Lions going in the right direction in the first set slamming home the first point. The Sharks rallied back though taking a 9-to-8 lead. Saint Leo refused to go away quietly as they stayed point for point with NSU. With the score 16-to-17 in favor of the Sharks, the second wave of the Nova rush kicked in, outscoring the Lions 8-to-4 to close out the set.
The Lions tried to rebound from the first set loss posting a .257 hitting percentage. It was not enough though as Molly Sigerich stepped up to kill five balls for the Sharks, adding to the teams .333 hitting percentage. The two teams traded the first eight points, but Nova Southeastern finished off the on a 21-10 run, including six straight points in the middle of the set to blow the game open.
Saint Leo was in a familiar position being down 2-to-0, but this time the team could not overcome the resilient Sharks. Armer and Nogueras jumped started the Lions offense again helping pull out to 13-11 lead. The Lions defense could not hold it though as the Sharks went on a 9-3 run to put them out in front 20-to-16. The Lions attempted to fight back but the offensive rush from the Sharks was too much, as the Lions dropped the third and final set.
Untimely errors and lack of offensive power doomed the Lions in the end as they fell two games under .500 in the Sunshine State Conference.
The Sharks out-blocked the Lions 4.5 to 5.0, while Saint Leo more than doubled the amount of Nova Southeastern team errors with 15
The Lions return to the court Wednesday, November 12 for a 7:00 pm SSC contest with Florida Southern College. The match will be broadcasted live on the Saint Leo Lions AudioCast Network.

JNF's Tu B'Shevat Across America
Jewish National Fund Offers Speakers to Enrich Your Tu B'Shevat Experience
Contact: Sarit Schonbrun • JNF Communications Manager • 212-879-9305 ext. 222 • email@example.com
January 16, 2006-- New York, NY-- For the last three years, Jewish National Fund has enhanced the observance of Tu B'Shevat for congregations around the U.S. with its annual Tu B'Shevat Across America. Through the program, congregations can connect to JNF's mission as caretaker of the land of Israel- and what better time than during the Tu B'Shevat season! Tu B'Shevat, the Jewish New Year for Trees, is a celebration of spring's rebirth and renewal, and an appreciation of the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. It will be observed on Sunday night, February 12 and Monday, February 13, 2006.
As part of its goal to engage, educate, and energize the Jewish community of the United States for a deeper commitment to the land and people of Israel, JNF provides congregations with resources for celebrating Tu B'Shevat and promotes environmental awareness and support for Israel. This year, three hundred congregations are expected to participate.
Tu B'Shevat embodies the abiding dedication to ecology, environmentalism and conservation that JNF has always championed. Since it was founded in 1901, JNF and its supporters have planted over 240 million trees in Israel, built over 180 reservoirs and dams, developed over 250,000 acres of land, established more than 450 parks, and educated students around the world about Israel and the environment. Over the years, Tu B'Shevat has taken on the theme of planting trees in Israel, giving it a special connection to JNF.
"Bringing the message of Tu B'Shevat to congregations enables fellow Jews to connect to the land of Israel and provides an opportunity to build Israel tree by tree, community by community," said Rabbi Eric M. Lankin, D. Min., JNF Chief, Institutional Advancement and Education.
Congregations can book distinguished speakers and utilize a collection of Tu B'Shevat sermons written by rabbis from around the world called The Book of Sermons. They may request complimentary tree planting forms and JNF Blue Boxes™, as well as order Tu B'Shevat Haggadot for $2 each that can be used to conduct a Tu B'Shevat Seder. This tradition dates back to the 17th century, when the Kabbalists developed a Seder for the holiday that was modeled after the Passover ritual. The custom includes drinking four cups of wine and eating foods that are symbolic of four levels of physical and spiritual life.
Congregations may also participate in JNF's Essence of Life campaign, an initiative supported by the congregations of America to develop cutting-edge water conservation technology and a recreational park on the Ramon Airforce Base in Mitzpeh Ramon.
For more information about JNF's Tu B'Shevat Across America program or the Essence of Life campaign, please contact Ilana Bernstein at (212) 879-9305 ext. 297 or at email@example.com.

JEWISH NATIONAL FUND (JNF) began in 1901 as a dream and vision to reestablish a homeland in Israel for Jewish people everywhere. Jews the world over collected coins in iconic JNF Blue Boxes, purchasing land and planting trees until ultimately, their dream of a Jewish homeland was a reality. JNF gives all generations of Jews a unique voice in building a prosperous future for the land of Israel and its people.
JNF embodies both heart and action; our work is varied in scope but singular in benefit. We strive to bring an enhanced quality of life to all of Israel's residents, and translate these advancements to the world beyond. JNF is greening the desert with millions of trees, building thousands of parks, creating new communities and cities for generations of Israelis to call home, bolstering Israel's water supply, helping develop innovative arid-agriculture techniques, and educating both young and old about the founding and importance of Israel and Zionism.
JNF is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and United Nations NGO, which continuously earns top ratings from charity overseers.

Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees was named King of the Bacchus Krewe at this year's Mardi Gras.
I guess we know how Bacchus kept his title as the god of wine and intoxication.
And in the evening a fête where they carry a child got up as Bacchus, and seated on a barrel with a wine-cup.
Here came my morning school, for the first time, under Bacchus' conduct.
Bacchus was speechless for some moments, but at last made out to call Phillis, who came to the door to see what was the trouble.
All sense of humour fled him when hammerlocked with Bacchus.
Finally, excited by the rites of Bacchus, one of them exclaimed, "See yonder our despiser!"
The theatre at the base of the Acropolis was consecrated to Bacchus.
At last I finished Bacchus—after devoting many days and months to it.
So he put the disciple of Bacchus on the slide, and started in alone.
Greek god of wine and revelry, late 15c., from Latin Bacchus, from Greek Bakkhos, perhaps related to Latin bacca "berry, olive-berry, bead, pearl." Perhaps originally a Thracian fertility god.
The Greek and Roman god of wine and revelry. He is also known by the Greek name Dionysus.
Note: In painting, Bacchus is often depicted eating a bunch of grapes and surrounded by satyrs.
Note: A "bacchanalian" party or feast is marked by unrestrained drunkenness. The name recalls a Roman festival called Bacchanalia.

The first exhibition in the United States at the Art Institute of Chicago devoted to French artist Cahun's work, Entre Nous: The Art of Claude Cahun brings together over 80 photographs and published material by Cahun and her partner Moore.
Born Lucy Schwob to a family of French Jewish intellectuals and writers, Claude Cahun (who adopted the pseudonym at age 22) is best known for the staged self-portraiture, photomontages, and prose texts she made principally between 1920 and 1940. Rediscovered in the late 1980s, her work has not only expanded our understanding of the Surrealist era but also serves as a towering precursor to feminist explorations of gender and identity politics. In her self-portraits, which she began creating around 1913, Cahun dismantled and questioned preexisting notions of self and sexuality. Posing in costumes and elaborate make-up, Cahun appears masked as various personae: man or woman, hero or doll, both powerful and vulnerable. Almost a century after their making, these innovative photographs and assemblages remain remarkably relevant in their treatment of gender, performance, and identity.
From her university years until her death, Cahun was accompanied by her partner and artistic collaborator, Suzanne Malherbe, a childhood friend and stepsister. They surrounded themselves with members of the Surrealist movement and created work that embraced leftist politics. Cahun and Malherbe (under the pseudonym Marcel Moore) together produced photographs, assemblages, and publications from the mid-1920s on. The photograph Entre Nous (Between Us), featuring a pair of masks embedded in sand, gives the title to this show and speaks to the couple's long-term collaboration.

Monday, February 6, 1978, started as a mild day, but in the afternoon the winds picked up and it became extremely cold. On Tuesday the snow started to fall and didn't stop all day.
My mother and sister Eleanor lived in Hull, Ma. on the beach. Hull is 30 miles south of Boston. When the snow started to accumulate, I called Eleanor and told her to pack an overnight bag for Mama and herself and get back to East Boston where they still owned another house.
Eleanor told me that Mama was fine and that she had the oven on to generate more heat in the kitchen and that she wasn't going to go back to East Boston. My mother had a cold but didn't tell Eleanor. I must have called every hour, but they still didn't come back.
I'm not going to give you the weather report for that day, but will tell you that it was called 'The blizzard of '78'. The snow was constant, the winds were of blizzard force, and the ocean had three abnormally high tides. The ocean began to flood the streets of Hull, and people had to be evacuated. The National Guard came to my mother's house and took Eleanor and Mama to a school, where other residents of Hull had been taken. The rest of the family who lived north of Boston didn't know where they were.
Not knowing where they were became scary.
My mother had a cold when this storm started and she became worse, having to sit in a gym at the school. Father Edward MaCabe, a friend of ours who was stationed at St. Mary Church in Hull went to the school and took Mama and Eleanor to our friend, Aida who lived in Hingham.
People were not allowed to go into Hull, which is a peninsula, unless they were residents, or on medical service.
My sister Edna has a friend who is a nurse, and she provided Edna with a nurse's outfit and they drove to Hingham to get Mama and Eleanor. They drove back and left Mama and Eleanor at their house in East Boston. My mother recovered from her cold, and was snug as a bug in her heated home.
As I write this story, we are experiencing the Blizzard of 2003.

Trend Watch: It's Raining Purpleby Leah Brickley in Food News & Trends, February 5, 2016
Purple lovers, unite! We've spied (and tasted) a bunch of products made from antioxidant-packed purple corn and are happy to report much of it is really good!

Purple lovers, unite! We've spied (and tasted) a bunch of products made from antioxidant-packed purple corn and are happy to report much of it is really good!
We wrote about how amazing broccoli leaves are earlier this year, and the love affair continues. These dark leafy greens grow on the outside of the plant stalk and can be prepared just like kale or Swiss chard. They are loaded with vitamin C and calcium, and since they're really a two-in-one food — the leaves and stalks can be cooked separately — we in Food Network Kitchen jumped for joy when a delivery of the crunchy cruciferous leaves came from Sycamore Farms, located north of New York City in Middletown, N.Y.

At first glance a hunk of cacao butter looks just like white chocolate, but it's actually the cream that comes from cold-pressing raw cacao beans. The other byproduct from cold-pressing is the fiber from the beans, which is ground into raw cacao powder (not to be confused with cocoa powder, which is ground roasted cacao beans). Read more
We're not great sleepers in this country. According to Healthy People 2020, a science-based government organization, about 25 percent of us suffer from insufficient sleep (that's less than six hours per night) about half of every month. That's a lot of lost z's! Some experts believe that tossing and turning at night can lead to an increased risk of obesity, high blood pressure and even heart disease. That means that a good night's sleep may be just as important as a well-balanced diet and regular exercise! Read more
Imagine your favorite sushi roll. Now imagine it deconstructed and served in a bowl: sticky rice topped with marinated raw fish, avocado, scallion, sesame seeds and toasted seaweed. Well, that's one combination! Poke (POH-key) is a healthy Hawaiian staple of marinated, cut-up raw fish, often made with tuna. Build-your-own poke bowl spots are popping up all over the country, where you can pair your choice of delicate fish with rice and as many toppings as a burrito bar. We're smitten with the hot-meets-cold and cooked-meets-raw delicious dichotomy of the poke bowl, so we made our own version in Food Network Kitchen, opting for Omega-3-rich salmon as the star. It's low in calories, high in protein and super easy to prep and top. Read more
Stone fruits, blueberries and grapes have always wanted to be roasted. We know this is true because they taste so good! Roasting amplifies the flavors of the fruit: As they soften and caramelize, they release their juices and their flavor is intensified. Plus, there's no need to add extra sugar or fat; all you need is ripe and beautiful fruit. Read more
Sometimes you just need to take your produce for a spin — or, in this case, a spiral. Easy to use and with a small countertop footprint, the Paderno Spiralizer can turn most firm fruits and vegetables into neat piles of curlicues of all sizes, destined for dishes like salads, stir-fries and pasta. This fun shape may even entice picky eaters to bulk up on their veggies. Read more
Yes, beer and butter can be healthy! And a little goes a long way in this simple low calorie shrimp dish, which is perfect for Dad's special day. All of the ingredients are sealed up in a foil packet so the flavor can't sneak out. It cooks up in just minutes, so there's more time to spend with Dad! Read more
Aptly named, this native South American fruit (also called the pitaya) looks like a mythical fire-breathing artichoke with its pink-to-reddish, or sometimes yellow, scale-like leaves. Dragon fruit is actually the flower from a plant that grows in tropical regions, which blooms at night just once! Cut it open and you'll find the fairy tale continues: The inside of the fruit resembles and tastes like a cross between a pear and a kiwi. It's slightly sweet, creamy and refreshing. Read more

Designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind, Architect with Davis Partnership Architects, The Museum Residences complements the extension to the Denver Art Museum, across the street, on which the two firms collaborated. The condo building is "a bit chaotic, but that's part of the beauty of it," said one judge.
Conceived as part of a larger urban plan that includes a shared plaza and a parking garage, the building consists of 55 luxury condos and 16,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. The architects strategically sited the structure to wrap around two sides of the parking garage, reducing its visual impact, and they clad its geometric forms in metal to echo the adjacent titanium-clad museum. "We see the building as a thread that brings together the various neighborhoods—the downtown area to the north and the residential Golden Triangle area to the south," says project architect Arne Emerson, of Studio Daniel Libeskind, Architect.
"The Deconstructivist character of the building is about shaking those cultural stereotypes of the rational," said one judge. "It says residential buildings—not only cultural buildings—can be plastic and playful."

5 Stocks Under $10 With Big Upside Potential - 36851 views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- There isn't a day that goes by on Wall Street when stocks trading near or under $10 a share don't experience massive spikes higher. Traders savvy enough to follow the low-priced names and trade them with discipline and sound risk management are banking ridiculous coin on a regular basis.
Just take a look at some of the huge moves today in some under-$10 names, including Zoom Technologies (ZOOM), up over 20%; Tegal (TGAL), up over 30%; Renesola (SOL), spiking over 20%; and Multiband (MBND) up over 14%.
You don't even have to catch the entire move in such lower-priced stocks to make outsized returns when trading.
More From Stockpickr
I'm not as eager to recommend investing long-term in stocks that trade for less than $10 a share because these names can be very speculative, and the odds for picking the long-term winners aren't great. But I definitely love to trade stocks that trade below $10. I like to view them as a trading vehicle with lots of volatility and lots of upside when the trade is timed right.
When I trade under-$10 names, I do it almost entirely based off of the charts and technical analysis. I also like to find under-$10 names with a catalyst, but that's secondary to the chart and volume patterns.
With that in mind, here's a look at a number of under-$10 stocks that look poised to potentially trade higher from current levels.
Orexigen Therapeutics
One under-$10 name that looks ready to trade much higher is Orexigen Therapeutics (OREX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of pharmaceutical product candidates for the treatment of obesity. The bears have beaten down this stock in 2011, with shares off by over 72%.
If you take a look at the chart for Orexigen Therapeutics, you'll see that this stock recently gapped up from around $1.40 to $2.68 a share on monster volume. Following that gap up in price, the stock has now dropped back down toward $2.15 a share. What I like about the setup here for OREX, is that when a stocks gaps up like this, sells off and then challenges the gap high again, it often breaks out. If you want to see an example of this, then look at the chart for Transcept Pharmaceuticals (TSPT), which recently put in a similar pattern.
>>11 Biotech Stocks Loved or Hated by Hedge Funds
Traders should now watch to see if a breakout of OREX can manage to move above some near-term overhead resistance at $2.25 and then above that gap high of $2.68 a share. A move above these levels with heavy volume should set this stock up for a run back toward its 200-day moving average of $3.20 or possibly even higher. Look for volume that's tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 754,900 shares.
One could be a buyer of this stock off any weakness and simply use a mental stop at around $2 a share, or $1.78 a share if you want to give it more room. I would add to any long position once the stock takes out $2.25 and then $2.68 a share with volume. Keep in mind that any future move over $4.15 a share would be very bullish since it would bring a gap down from $10 into play from back in February.
This stock is heavily shorted with over 11% of the tradable short currently sold short by the bears. Any future breakout for OREX should spark a big short-covering rally since the bears are so heavily involved in this stock.

Coffee Holding
Another under-$10 stock worth watching is Coffee Holding (JVA), an integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer in the U.S. This stock has been a major winner so far in 2011, with shares up over 120%. That said, the stock has been a major loser in the last three months, with shares off by over 55%.
If you take a look at the chart for Coffee Holding, you'll see that this has started to find some big buying support off of a previous support zone at around $6.90 a share. This was the level from which buyers stepped into this stock in a big way back in June, before shares ran up toward $30.94 in just a month and a half. Large traders have once again stepped back into this stock and started to buy at $6.90 a share just a few trading sessions ago. As long as this $6.90 level holds, then this stock should continue to rebound and trade substantially higher.
I would also like to point out that JVA is bouncing off of massively oversold levels. The current relative strength index reading is below 30. That's an area that I look for strength to move into a stock for confirmation that it could be oversold. Market players should now watch for JVA to trade above $10.02 a share (50-day) on strong volume for the next trigger that it wants to go higher. Look for volume that's tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 1.39 million shares.
>>5 Stocks Showing Relative Strength Poised to Break Out
You could be a buyer of this stock off any weakness with a mental stop just below $6.90 a share, or you could buy it off strength once it takes out the 200-day at $10.02 a share. If we do see a big rebound, then I would target a run back towards $14 to $16 a share, which is very close to its 50-day moving average of $15.92.
This is a heavily shorted stock, with over 26% of the float sold short by the bears. The short-sellers have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 24.9%, or by about 159,900 shares. I think the short-squeeze is already underway, so keep this name on your trading radar for the coming days and weeks.

NetQin Mobile
An under-$10 computer services player stock that could also be setting up to trade higher is NetQin Mobile (NQ), a software-as-a-service provider of consumer-centric mobile Internet services focusing on security and productivity. This stock has been hammered lower by the bears this year, with shares off by over 50%.
If you take a look at the chart for NetQin, you'll see that this stock is jumping sharply today by around 8% to around $4.25 a share. The stock recently sold off from its September high of $6.97 a share to a recent low of $3.46 a share. That recent low violated some previous support at around $3.95 a share from back in June. That said, now NQ has traded back above that support zone, which leads me to believe that lots of stops were taken out before large traders moved back into the stock. Stops are often put in near old support levels, so it's not uncommon to see that price violated first before buyers step back in.
Market-players should watch for a breakout trade here if NQ can manage to move above some overhead resistance at $4.60 a share. A move above that level on strong volume should set this name up for a run back toward its 50-day moving average of $5.8 or possibly $7 a share. Look for volume to be tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 208,400 shares.
One could be a buyer of this stock on any weakness and anticipate the breakout, or just wait for the breakout and then load up on some shares. I would use a stop just below $4 a share in case the bulls aren't ready to get long the stock here, or use a much tighter stop obviously if you're day trading it. It's worth mentioning that the recent bounce in the stock came off of an RSI reading below 30. The RSI is now 37, so there's tremendous upside from these oversold levels if buyers do step back in with some volume.
>>5 Breakout Stocks to Recoup September Losses
Ariad Pharmaceuticals
Another under-$10 stock to consider is Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of drugs to provide therapeutic intervention in treating human diseases at the cellular level. This stock has been a market leader in 2011, with shares up over 80%.
If you take a look at the chart for Ariad Pharmaceuticals, you'll see that this stock has found big buying support at around $7.50 to $7.70 a share a number of times during the past six months. Every time the stock has hit those levels, it's bounced significantly higher and it has been a great buying opportunity.
Now the stock is approaching some levels that will trigger another big breakout if it can manage to trade above them. The first level to watch is the 50-day moving average at $9.58 a share. The second level is some major overhead resistance at around $10.70 a share. If both of those levels are taken out to the upside in the near future, then I think this stock can make another run at its July highs of $13.50 a share.
Market-players should now watch for a breakout for a move above those levels on heavy volume. Look for volume that's tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 3.86 million shares.
One could be a buyer of this stock on any notable weakness in anticipation of the breakout, or you could just wait for the breakout and then get long off strength. If you buy off weakness I would use a stop just below $9 a share. I would look to add to any long position once this stock takes out $10.70 with volume.
This is another heavily shorted stock with over 12% of the float sold short by the bears. This high short interest could fuel a sizable short-squeeze if we can get back above the 50-day and then above $10.70 in the coming days or weeks.
Ariad shows up on a list of Hot Biotech trades for Second-Half 2011.
EasyLink Services
One final under-$10 stock that is nearing a major breakout is EasyLink Services (ESIC), a global provider of value-added services, which facilitate the electronic exchange of documents and information between enterprises, their trading communities and their customers. This stock is off to a strong start in 2011, with shares up over 19%.
If you take a look at the chart for EasyLink Services, you'll see that this stock is gapping up today above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish technical action. The stock is now quickly approaching a big breakout at around $5.12 a share. What I like about the setup here is that ESIC is trading up over 9% today on huge volume. Volume today has already registered over 650,000 shares, which is well above its three-month average action of 216,000 shares. Now all the stock needs is to close above some overhead resistance at $5.12 to trigger a potential bigger move to the upside.
One could be a buyer of this stock on any weakness, or simply wait for the breakout and buy off a strong move and close above $5.12 a share. I would simply use a stop just below the 50-day moving average of $4.63 a share, or much tighter if you're day trading this for a breakout. If we do get the breakout, then target a run back towards $6 a share or possibly higher.

|Food Labeling; Gluten-Free Labeling of Foods; Public Meeting

I am a person with celiac disease diagnosed 8 years ago, I am also a
physician; therefore, a fairly informed label-reader. I wish to comment on
the upcoming definition of 'gluten-free' for food labeling purposes. to be
useful and serve it's purpose, 'gluten free' should mean the level of gluten
is sufficiently low to prevent the immune response in the gi tract of
persons with celiac disease who are on a gluten elimination diet. I
personally identify foods that do not contain gluten by carefully and
thoroughly reading the label, if the label is unclear about the source of
some ingredients (ie: maltodextrin rather than clarification with 'tapioca
maltodextrin') i either avoid the food or call the 800 number or query the
website to determine whether or not this food is safe for my consumption.
this process is tiresome and frustrating, and i spend several minutes in a
traditional grocery store examining a product for this information. i tend
to shop at Whole Foods and the food co-op because they carry a much larger
selection of foods labelled gluten free, which makes my job easy. even so,
probably <10% of my current purchases are actually labelled 'gluten free'.
if products do carry the 'gluten free' label i am strongly motivated to seek
them out and purchase them since this signifies to me that the food
manufacturer 'gets it' as far as my dietary restrictions. i have travelled
to other countries where a gluten free symbol is widely
disseminated, and it is always a joy to be there and a letdown to come home
and start to scrutinize my labels again - hopefully, your recommendations
will make this process easier for me and all others who are trying to adhere
to the gluten free diet. i would recommend a strict definition of gluten free and worry about confusion with different degrees of gluten content, i worry that this will allow celiacs to think that a little gluten is ok, and we know it isn't. thank you in advance
for your interest in this matter.

Sanya, China (AFP) April 13, 2011
The disaster at the Fukushima atomic power plant cannot be compared to Chernobyl, Russia's nuclear chief said on Wednesday, suggesting Tokyo was exaggerating the emergency, possibly for financial reasons.
"It is hard for me to assess why the Japanese colleagues have taken this decision," Sergei Kiriyenko, the head of Russia's state nuclear agency Rosatom, told reporters in the southern Chinese city of Sanya on the eve of the BRICS summit.
"I suspect this is more of a financial issue than a nuclear one."
Earlier this week Japan upgraded its month-old nuclear emergency to a maximum seven on an international scale of atomic crises, placing it on a par with the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
Kiriyenko appeared to suggest that the Japanese authorities were seeking to reduce the burden on insurance companies.
"I guess that maybe it could be linked to the definition of force majeure with regards to insurance? I would pay attention to that. It is a bit strange," Kiriyenko said.
Kiriyenko said at first the Japanese authorities had thought to downplay the scale of the disaster but now the situation at the plant was improving.
"Our estimates have shown that the level was between five and six," Kiriyenko said. "Today it doesn't reach the sixth level."
France's nuclear safety agency also said this week that the impact of the Fukushima accident was not comparable to the Chernobyl disaster.
Fukushima has had three reactors that have hit problems, compared with one at Chernobyl.
But the Japanese plant has released only one-tenth of the radioactivity disgorged by Chernobyl because its reactor vessels have so far remained intact, thus keeping almost all of the nuclear fuel enclosed.
The previous rating of five had placed the unfolding disaster at the tsunami-hit Fukushima plant northeast of Tokyo on the same level as the 1979 Three Mile Island accident in the US state of Pennsylvania.
Level seven of the UN's International Nuclear Events Scale describes events with "major release of radioactive material with widespread health and environmental effects, requiring implementation of planned and extended countermeasures."

Did you feel it? The Labour balance of power shifted this morning. With his interview in The Times, Alan Johnson put the brakes on a coup (well, at least for a few months) while lifting the sights of Labour activists to a time without Browns, Straws, Blairs, Clarkes or Johnsons. He put his own ambitions aside (if they ever existed) and all but anointed David Milliband to lead the party into a new era (of opposition?). He made a plea for stability and unity, while taking a bow and reaching to close the curtain on a generation of Labour leaders. Few politicians could have managed to deliver this difficult message with such poise, or indeed with the candidness to make it believable. But there was also an ultimatum for Gordon Brown: we'll give you time, he said, but you have to sort out your team and call off the dogs. Will the prime minister accept the terms of the truce? Here are Johnson's words in full:
"If there are people briefing different ways from No 10, that needs to be tackled and Gordon needs to rein them in . . . That has got to stop. The Brownites versus the Blairites is just so boring, it is so last century."
"I don't know what these people are doing but anyone looking at David Miliband sees a very, very good, competent politician who is part of our solution to these problems not part of the problems themselves."

Their heads were often described as star-shaped, with their eyestalks, beaks, and cheek pouches forming a five-pointed star. Their lungs doubled as internal gills, and they had an acute sense of smell on land or in the water. Their green skins retained humidity, but a Regalian had to bathe in salt water every thirty hours or so, or their skin would crack open, resulting in internal and external bleeding and death.


text: One of the best things about this time of year is the increase in sunshine hours. :) The days feel like they go on forever.During the winter months the sun will set as early as 5pm, while currently we might still be wearing sunglasses at 8pm. Yay for extra hours of sunshine! I've heard that the sun provides vitamins and, in turn, good vibes. I'm pretty sure that's the scientific term for it, "good vibes." We shot these photos the other day around 6pm before a family dinner, and look as bright and cheery as it still was. (P.S. I think I might be easily impressed by things...)
