He left the land of youth, he left the young,
The smiling gods of Greece; he passed the isle
Where Jason loitered, and where Sappho sung,
He sought the secret-founted wave of Nile,
And of their old world, dead a weary while,
Heard the priests murmur in their mystic tongue,
And through the fanes went voyaging, among
Dark tribes that worshipped Cat and Crocodile.
He learned the tales of death Divine and birth,
Strange loves of Hawk and Serpent, Sky and Earth,
The marriage, and the slaying of the Sun.
The shrines of gods and beasts he wandered through,
And mocked not at their godhead, for he knew
Behind all creeds the Spirit that is One.
Sorry, no summary available yet.

This report from Britain's The Independent cases out the identities of the men and one woman associated with the recent attempted attacks in London and Glasgow, revealing some of their names, possible motives and backgrounds. A noteworthy detail: Five of the eight people arrested are doctors.
The Independent:
Following the link between the attacks in London and Glasgow, control of the investigation was transferred to Scotland Yard. With the security alert staying at the highest possible level and warnings that another attack may be "imminent", police carried out 19 raids across the country, arresting nationals from Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Among those arrested was Mohammed Jamil Abdelqader Asha, a 26-year-old neurologist who was born in Saudi Arabia but is of Palestinian origin and was travelling on a Jordanian passport. He and his 27-year-old wife, a medical assistant, were arrested on the M6 in Cheshire, in connection with the attempted bombings in London.

Contents Virakesari was founded by PPR. Subramanian in the first half of 20th century. Subramanian was an entrepreneur and journalist from the village Avanipatti in Tamil Nadu, India.
Upon immigrating from India to British Ceylon, he saw the conditions of the Indian Labourers and decided that he would establish a newspaper to promote justice and equality for those people by publishing a newspaper with a distinct voice of its own.
The First Page of Virakesari in 1930The first edition was published on the 6th August 1930 under the masthead Virakesari meaning "Victorious Lion" .

Today, this newspaper is the most widely circulated and read newspaper by the entire Tamil speaking population in Sri Lanka.
In 1948, soon after Ceylon obtained independence from British dominance, the Ceylon Parliament enacted the Ceylon Citizenship Act.

Uthayan is a Tamil language Sri Lankan daily newspaper published by New Uthyan Publication (Private) Limited, part of the Uthayan Group of Newspapers. It was founded in 1985 and is published from Jaffna. Its sister newspapers is the Colombo based Sudar Oli. Uthayan was the only newspaper published from Jaffna which did not cease publication due to the civil war.1 The newspaper has been attacked several times, a number of its staff have been murdered by paramilitary groups and other forces, and it regularly receives threats.2
Contents Uthayan was founded in 1985 by E. Saravanapavan with the first edition being published on 27 November 1985.34 At that time there were two other newspapers published from Jaffna: the Tamil language Eelamurasu and Eeelanadu.3 Murasoli began publishing from Jaffna in 1986.3
As the civil war escalated newspapers published from Jaffna came under pressure from both government forces and the rebel militant groups. Eelamurasu and Eeelanadu were taken over by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 1987 and 1994 respectively.3
In October 1995, as the Sri Lankan military launched a military offensive to recapture the Jaffna peninsula from the LTTE, virtually the entire population of the Valikamam region fled to other parts of the peninsula and the Vanni. Uthayan staff fled from their Jaffna offices, taking printing machine, a generator and newsprint on a truck.3 They set-up a temporary office in Sarasalai, Thenmarachchi from where they published the paper until April 1996.3 Then the paper returned to Jaffna after the military had recaptured most of the peninsula including Jaffna city.3 By 1996 the Uthayan was the only newspaper published from Jaffna.3
Uthayan was shut down by the Sri Lankan government on 19 May 2000 using the recently passed draconian law – the Emergency (Miscellaneous Provisions and Powers) Regulation No.1 of 2000.5 The Sri Lanka Army cut off the phone lines, locked the offices and took away the keys.6 The newspaper re-opened 45 days later on 4 July 2000 after the government lifted its ban.78
Sub-editor N. Vithyatharan was interrogated by the police for two hours at his offices 20 January 2001 regarding an interview with Anton Balasingham, the LTTE's chief negotiator and political advisor.9
After the civil war resumed the Sri Lankan military closed the A9 road which was the main road link between the Jaffna peninsula and the rest of the country. This resulted in an acute shortage of food, fuel, medicine and other supplies, including newsprint and printing ink, on the peninsula. Uthayan was forced to drastically cut its number of pages and the copies printed – it went from 20,000 copies of a 12-page paper to 7,500 copies of a 4-page paper.10
Editor N. Vithyatharan was arrested by the police without a warrant on 26 February 2009 as he attended a funeral in Mount Lavinia without a warrant and allegedly beaten in custody.1112 As international criticism of the arrest intensified the Sri Lankan government claimed Vithyatharan had been arrested in connections with the LTTE air raid on Colombo.1314 Vithyatharan was released on 24 April 2009 after the Colombo Crimes Division informed the court that there was no evidence connecting him to the air raid.1516 Vithyatharan alleged that he had been detained in order to prevent him highlighting the plight of the civilians in the Vanni.1718
Attacks. The Uthayan and its employees have been subject to numerous attacks during its existence. In 1987, the Sri Lankan security forces attacked the Navalar Road in Jaffna, where the Uthayan offices were located, using artillery. Two Uthayan employees were injured and 40 others in the area were killed. In 1990, the Uthayan's offices were hit by an air raid killing one employee and injuring five.7
A Journalist named Velupillai Thavachelvam was attacked on 29 August 1998 at his home in Sembianpattu, Vadamarachchi.19 Thavachelvam had written a report critical of the local authority.19 The following year, two grenades were thrown into the newspaper's offices, exploding near the printing machines and injuring security guard S. Selvarajah.202122 The Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP), a government backed paramilitary group, was blamed for the attack.2324 The Uthayan had recently criticised government-backed paramilitary groups.24
On 20 August 2005, two grenades were thrown into the advertising office of the Uthayan and Sudar Oli in Wellawatte, but failed to explode.72526 Suresh Kumar (B. G. Sahayathasan) and Ranjith Kumar, two employees of the newspaper, were killed on 2 May 2006 when armed men burst into the newspaper's offices and opened fire indiscriminately.22728 The attack followed the newspaper publishing a cartoon mocking Douglas Devananda, the leader of the EPDP.29
A delivery driver and an agent named Sathasivam Baskaran was shot dead at the wheel of his delivery truck on 15 August 2006 at Puttur junction near Achchuveli.3031 Baskaran was shot in an area controlled by the Sri Lankan military.32 Three days later, on 18 August 2006, a warehouse in Kopay was burnt down by armed men as a curfew was in place.3033 According to a diplomatic cable leaked to Wikileaks, Sri Lankan Presidential Advisor Basil Rajapaksa had told the then American Ambassador Robert O. Blake that the EPDP and the Sri Lanka Navy had perpetrated the arson.34
Armed men entered the Uthayan offices on 7 September 2006 and ordered staff to publish a statement urging Jaffna's students to call off their strike, threatening "severe reprisals" if the statement wasn't published.3536 A few days later, on 10 September 2006, two armed men who entered into the Uthayan offices were arrested by the policemen who were guarding the building. But they were released within hours.35
Journalist Selvarajah Rajivarnam, an Uthayan reporter for 6 months prior to his death, was shot dead in Jaffna close to a military checkpoint on 29 April 2007.373839 The EPDP was blamed for Rajivarnam's murder.40 A Proof reader, Vadivelu Nirmalaraj was abducted on 17 November 2007 near Jaffna as he returned home after work.414243
A grenade was thrown into the newspaper's office in Jaffna on 24 March 2009 causing extensive damage and injuring a security guard.444546 Same year, on June 25, thousands of copied of the Uthayan, Thinakkural and Valampuri were burnt in the street by armed men, after the papers had refused to print a statement against the LTTE.4748
A Staff Correspondent of the newspaper, S. Kavitharan was attacked by a group of men on 28 May 2011 as he cycled to work. Kavitharan had written articles critical of the security in Jaffna and the actions of government backed paramilitary groups whose members had previously threatened Kavitharan.49 On July 29, the same year, Uthayan's chief news editor Gnanasundaram Kuganathan was brutally attacked as he walked home from the office in Jaffna.515253 The EPDP was blamed for the attack.54 Between 2006 and 2010 Kuganathan lived in the Uthayan offices out of fear for his life but had recently moved back to his family home after assurances were given by the government.51

Hi all,
probably a really simple question to ask but having search around I cant seem to land on a solution..
I am creating a twoway table of year of diagnosis and counts of 30 day mortality, I get the row percentages at the same time using the following code in Stata 11.2:
tab yydx Thirty if ID==5 & stflag=="Yes", row
However, the column width in the table truncates the display of my values, I have two values
column a) 'Died < 30 days'
column b) 'Didnt die <30 days'
When I use the above code, column b is truncated to 'didn't die', now this is misleading.
I therefore tried -table- using the following
table yydx Thirty if ID==5 & stflag=="Yes", col
and this works better and displays the full label, however, I'm not sure how to pull in the row percentages.
Any help appreciated.

| Gluten-free should mean that there is NO gluten in the processed food. It is a known fact that wheat, barley, rye, and oats, and their derivatives, contain glute. The term "contains natural ingredients" ios not to be trusted as gluten free. The term does not really describe the true contents.
As a person having celiac disease, I do not buy anything that does not identify the full content by ingredient name. I do not purchase anything that MAY contain gluten. It takes several months for the body of a person having celiac disease to heal after eating a meal containing gluten.
ALL labels should be explicit and accurate in identifying the ingredients of a product.

"An insightful look at how Amazon really works and how its founder and CEO makes it happen. Amazon's business model is deceptively simple: make online shopping so easy and convenient that customers won't think twice. It can almost be summed up by the button on every page: Buy now with one click. Why has Amazon been so successful? Much of it has to do with Jeff Bezos, the CEO and founder, whose unique combination of character traits and business strategy have driven Amazon to the top of the online retail world. Originally a computer nerd rather than a businessman, he had the vision to capitalize on the untapped online marketplace for bookselling and continues to discover new market opportunities, from groceries to auto parts. He's a calculating machine, high energy, passionate, highly aggressive, and out to radically transform retail. Through numerous interviews with Amazon employees, competitors, and observers, Richard Brandt has deciphered how Bezos thinks, what drives his actions, and how he makes decisions. Anyone in business can learn a lot from the example of Amazon's ongoing evolution."--

Checking your weather takes a monumental leap! InstaForecast are compact devices that displays weather data from 5 different locations around the world using your internet connection. The advanced weather software is installed on your personal computer giving you access to weather data from the National Weather Service and other meteorological agencies around the world. The software shows--nonstop--weather that matters to you and transmits this information to your InstaForecast devices placed anywhere around the house or workplace. In addition, monitor "backyard" weather conditions with the included wireless temperature sensor as well as a humidity sensor in the I600 model.

With Microsoft killing the spot watch, it's good news to that Oregon Scientific is putting out a weather watch in it's place. The Meteo Watch will debut next month at about $80, and feature a non-wireless weather forecast from the built in barometer. The watch tracks the weather by measuring barometric pressure trends, and features a reverse LCD display and stopwatch function. Four easy-to-read icons (sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, and rainy) display the upcoming weather conditions in the next 12 to 24 hours.

Microsoft is quietly pulling the plug on their SPOT weather watch and MSDN project. What are you losing? The SPOT Watch aimed at providing real-time weather and schedule updates to the wrists of the weather obsessed everywhere. The technology will no longer be built into any new watches, and the most recent examples have sold out across the web.
Bummer. We really liked this service and we think it was perfect for watches. Hopefully someone else will build this into a watch or provide a similar service in the future.

Wireless weather gauges are the way to go. Not only will they let you know how much rain is falling without getting wet, they also allow you to get a reading at the device itself with an LCD display. This wireless weather gauge however is not wireless - it's just battery powered. Oh well - most modern weather stations come with one that is wireless and transmits the data inside, but if you want a "wireless" weather gauge on the cheap - this is for you. The LCD display on the front shows how much rainfall has transpired, and you can reset the rain gauge with the push of a button.

In what can only be called the oddest yet I can't stop watching weather forecast we've every seen, Weather Angels provides a daily forecast with meteorologists of the hot model persuasion.

We thought we'd explore what has happened to weather in video games over the past year. Last year EA released EA Sports' NCAA 08 Football. It was the first game to pipe in real-time weather conditions at the venue of a player's choice with weather data provided by the Weather Channel. Given we don't play many football games, we asked some of our sport video game focused friends to chime in - verdict? Awesome. Because the weather could be matched to the day you were playing, you could recreate the game in real time while you watched the real game. Very cool.
We also found this rather interesting forums discussion on weather in video games - citing Donkey Kong Country as one of the first games to have weather as a factor. Do you know of any good uses of weather in video games?
We'll continue to look for interesting uses of weather in video games, and hope in the future lots of online video games can make the integration of weather into gameplay and the game.

We like the simplicity in this weather forecasting umbrella - the color indicates the type of weather - blue for rain and yellow for sunny. Simple and elegant, we think concepts of ambient information about the weather throughout your day is the way to go. No need to yell at you from a weather radio, when you can pulse a color and get the same results.
How does it work? The Forecast Umbrella is embedded with wi-fi technology that pulls weather info from the Internet. The more intense the glow of the handle, the more ardent the umbrella's calling for you to take it along at that moment. This is still only a prototype, but we expect them to be available within the year.

Gardeners put up with it, complain about it, and even delight in it, but, asks author Sally Roth in The Gardener's Weather Bible, do we truly work with weather to make the most of whatever the day brings? No matter if the skies are glorious or gloomy, Roth educates gardeners to become more attuned to weather's dramatic impact on how our gardens grow. A spiffy distant relative of the Old Farmer's Almanac, The Gardener's Weather Bible is part weather primer, with information on air masses, storm forecasting, as well as the ever-elusive question of why the sky is blue, and part general garden guide.

Space weather effects us in all kinds of ways. Sunspots, the strange and elusive dark shapes that periodically sweep across the Sun's surface, have mystified people for centuries, and also effected our lives in countless ways. Given their elusive cyclical nature and the fact that it is both painful and dangerous to observe the Sun directly, it is little wonder that records of sunspots were almost nonexistent in Europe before the seventeenth century. Today such solar emissions are thought to coincide with major effects in global weather patterns. It may be that this powerful phenomena holds a key to our understanding of the nature of the Sun.

Ice crystals and the formation of rain and snow receive a detailed examination, as do the properties of hail. Also includes a review of the techniques for cloud modifications, and a look at the artificial stimulation of rainfall.

With the recent events in Atlanta, we've been trying to do some research on tornados and just what they mean for the US moving forward as a whole. The destructive power of the tornado has always been a source of fear and fascination, and never more so than now, when climate change and extreme weather conditions are constantly in the news.
Across the central United States, the infamous storms of Tornado Alley are fueled by the collision of cold fronts from Canada and warm fronts from the Gulf of Mexico. People have been chasing these storms for decades in pursuit of thrilling experiences, but now a new generation of storm chasers is combining scientific knowledge with powerful images. This book follows Mike Hollingshead and Eric Nguyen on seventeen chases through Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and South Dakota, illustrating the unfolding events with sequential shots and a running commentary by the chasers themselves.

It's interesting to note how Tornados form - not with wind spinning into a mix of bad weather, but with gravity waves compacting and concentrating the force of the tornado until it forms.
According to Coleman (a meteorologist), wave-storm interactions are very important. If a gravity wave hits a rotating thunderstorm, it can sometimes spin that storm up into a tornado. What is an atmospheric gravity wave? Coleman explains: "They are similar to waves on the surface of the ocean, but they roll through the air instead of the water. Gravity is what keeps them going.

Are you seeing snow on baseball's opening day at your local stadium? Or perhaps freezing rain and snow in the evening after a long day of mild weather? La Niña may be to blame. La Niña is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon similar to El Niño. During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 0.5 °C. This can cause all kinds of odd more winter like weather in the Spring - especially in the Pacific Northwest.
La Niña causes mostly the opposite effects of El Niño, for example, El Niño would cause a wet period in the Midwestern U.S., while La Niña would typically cause a dry period in this area. It's not clear that we're in a period of La Niña, but we can at least see the results of what appears to be weather very much in tune with La Niña.

'Igloo' chills Penguins' opponents
Pittsburgh isn't Montreal when it comes to citizens' enthusiasm for the local NHL club.
"But it's getting there," center Max Talbot said Thursday prior to the Penguins' 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes at Mellon Arena.
The Penguins played before a 72nd consecutive home sellout crowd, one a little more juiced due to about 600 area college and high-school students that secured hard-to-get tickets through the team's student rush program.
About twice that many hopeful students waited outside the arena -- the first set up a tent sometime around 7 p.m. Wednesday -- for the chance to watch players that insist their fans, especially the young ones, play a pivotal role in home success.
Talbot, a native of Canadian province Quebec, where he was raised among a rabid core of Montreal Canadiens fans, believes Penguins fans have created "a big home-ice advantage." Statistics back up his words.
The Penguins rated third in the NHL with 57 home points last season, fourth with 26 victories. They are 52-20-10 at home over the past two seasons, with a 0.85 average goal differential.
"We're a team that's energized by our home fans," captain Sidney Crosby said, adding that he first consider the Penguins' home-ice advantage as true when it won nine consecutive home games to start the playoff last season.
Talbot said opposing players are "jealous" of the oft-frenzied atmosphere at Mellon Arena.
"You talk to guys from different teams, and you know how fortunate you are," Talbot said. "You talk to (center Mike Zigomanis) and (left wing Bill) Thomas, who came from Phoenix, where they don't have all this craziness. It's not just in the building on game days; it's all around town, you see Penguins flags at houses, people wearing hats downtown.
"Obviously, Montreal is crazy and over-the-top, but you can say that Pittsburgh is getting there. Three years ago, it was all about the Steelers. The Steelers were everywhere. They still are, but we're stealing the show a little bit."
The Penguins are the show at FSN Pittsburgh.
Shawn McClintock, FSN Pittsburgh's assistant general manager and executive producer, said Penguins games attract 41 percent more than the national average for viewers 18 to 34 years old. With males in that age group, a coveted advertising demographic, Penguins games are 113 percent above the average.
The median age of FSN Pittsburgh viewers for Penguins games is 43, compared to 48 for Pirates and 47 for Steelers.
McClintock also said that the top five rated hockey games on any FSN regional network last season involved the Penguins, who are "well above the average" in every adult male category.
So, when defenseman Brooks Orpik says "it seems like we have a lot of young fans," he is not promoting a widely held belief by team officials.
"The fan support has always been there," Orpik said. "We haven't always played up to it. Last year, for some reason, we really struggled at home to start the season. But going into the playoffs, we felt like we couldn't lose here.
"It wasn't something we talked about, but it was something we were aware of. It might sound like a cliche, but these fans definitely give us a little more of a jump going into games. For whatever reason, we feed off (the fans)."

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced yesterday at the CEBIT show in Hannover, Germany that the company would be releasing its data centre best practices to share its experience running large data centers around the world. The best practices will be made available on Microsoft's web site. "By following the best practices announced today, Microsoft data centers such as the one recently announced in Dublin, Ireland, will consume less than half the energy of similar-sized data centers that were built just three years ago," the company said in its release.
A summary of the best practices is available as a Word download, while Microsoft also has several videos about its data center efficiency program available as Windows Media files. The first includes comments from Microsoft data center executives Debra Chrapaty and Mike Manos and the EPA's Andrew Fanara, while the second features a Q-and-A with Rob Bernard, Microsoft chief environmental strategist.

Published: July 25, 2008 at 12:19 PMI have no doubt that people at WDI and WDW are talking about such an attraction. Heck, I've heard of such talk myself. But theme park companies talk about a great many concepts. The trick is to be able to separate the talk that's not going to lead to a completed attraction from the talk that is leading toward a ride being built.
All talk starts with the intention of that attraction being built. But, obviously, not everything gets there.
Published: July 25, 2008 at 3:18 PMWhen I first saw the movie, I thought what a great coaster the door scene would be. There have been many scenes in recent movies that could be created into awesome rides that would boggle the senses. But as everyone has pointed out, it is sadly just talk with no signs of action behind it. How I would love to sit in on those meetings!
Published: July 26, 2008 at 6:31 AMSo is it going to be a suspended or inverted coaster? The article mentions inverted, but here you say suspended. I find it hard to believe Disney would put in an inverted, as the height restriction would be too high for their liking.

The music video features Chris Cornell and his Soundgarden bandmates rocking the song under the glowing orbs with footage from the upcoming movie intercepting every once in a while.
A music video for "The Avengers" soundtrack "Live to Rise", which is performed by Soundgarden, is unleashed ahead of the movie release. It features Chris Cornell and his bandmates delivering a searing live performance inside a warehouse under glowing lights. Footage from the superheroes movie is flashed in between the performance scene.
"Live to Rise" is Soundgarden's new single from their first studio recording in 15 years. Offered as a free download on iTunes for one week only, it exceeded 350K downloads and became the #1 most added song in its first week at Alternative and Active Rock U.S. radio. On the charts, it climbed to No. 3 at Mainstream Rock, and peaked at No. 4 at Active Rock.
Comparing the song to the one he crafted for "Machine Gun Preacher", Cornell told THR, "This song came arduously. It's different, because it has to be a Soundgarden song. It has to resonate with every band member. Writing a song for the 'Avengers' film, it has to be lyrically not specific to the movie or the story, but it has to work with it. It wasn't so easy. But it turned out absolutely a Soundgarden song."
Commenting on the big sale number they pulled in despite having no label backing them up, the rocker explained, "In this day and age, you don't have the monolithic record company with seemingly limitless resources and multimillion-dollar profits. They don't exist. Which is why a partnership like this exists. The movie company does have that, and they will promote it."
"There was a time when the idea of staying at home sounded good. That's long since gone. It's a privilege to be able to travel the world and play music you wrote for people. Millions of people write songs no one will hear except a few who follow them on Facebook and their grandparents, who begrudgingly listen because they love their grandchildren."
"The Avengers" itself is going to be released in theaters across the United States starting May 4. It stars Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, and Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye. They band together to fight the foes no single hero could withstand.

How the Coming Shift in Monetary Policy Will Affect Your Investments
By Sasha Cekerevac for Investment Contrarians
One of the most interesting debates regarding monetary policy is emanating from the Federal Reserve members themselves. The Federal Reserve's current monetary policy program includes an $85.0-billion monthly asset-purchase program. Recent comments made by many of the Federal Reserve members indicate that they are as unsure about the current monetary policy program as the rest of us.
Increasingly, it appears that more Federal Reserve members are leaning toward reducing and even eliminating the current aggressive monetary policy program of bond buying, and doing so sooner rather than later.
Conversely, there are still several Federal Reserve members who currently vote on monetary policy and want to continue the asset-purchase program, as they don't see an economic recovery coming anytime soon.
This divergence makes it extremely difficult to predict the future of monetary policy. This is important, because when the Federal Reserve indicates that it will begin reducing its bond-purchasing program, it will have large ramifications throughout various markets.
Personally, I have been of the opinion that the Federal Reserve will begin to reduce its aggressive monetary policy program, or at least indicate that it plans to do so, later this summer or early fall. This shift in monetary policy, I believe, will cause many assets to decrease in price, with bonds being sold off and stocks getting hit as well.
Economically, there are many mixed and conflicting data points. Both vehicle sales and housing are strong points in the economy; however, manufacturing still continues to lag. As well, the recent survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indicated that current manufacturing conditions are weak, but that business owners are optimistic about the future.
Those types of mixed messages are causing considerable difficulty for analysts, economists, investors, and Federal Reserve members in trying to determine what the best course for monetary policy is. Investors need to incorporate some estimate of future economic activity and monetary policy into their valuation models when buying stocks and bonds; however, it's extremely complicated to do so when the data indicate various potential outcomes.
Additionally, while jobs have been created, the level of employment growth has been far from optimal. With the continued decrease in the participation rate, this has allowed the unemployment rate to drop. However, this type of decrease in the unemployment rate does not satisfy the Federal Reserve, because they are all too aware that people dropping out of the labor force is not part of a healthy economy. This is part of the reason why they have taken on such an aggressive monetary policy stance.
What is surprising to me is that given the current economy, so many Federal Reserve members are now voicing their shared opinion that the aggressive monetary policy stance of $85.0 billion per month in asset purchases should be reduced or even eliminated.
We cannot ignore the recent statements, and one should begin incorporating this probability when calculating both bond and stock investments. Considering the Federal Reserve is such a large purchaser of bonds, creating a backstop of support, in my opinion, it would make sense to exit fixed-income positions; these will drop substantially in value once the Federal Reserve reduces and eliminates its asset-purchase program.

Who can I contact to check if my ex faked my dog's death?Q:
I have an ex and his family that just posted on a social network that my dog has passed away. Him nor his parents haven't told me anything straight out but I find this strange since I was making arrangements to pick her up from their house recently, who can I contact to check on my dog to see if she has really passed on or what??A:
Since you were making arrangements to pick up the dog from their house, why not contact them directly? The local animal control officer or humane society could also be contacted but it is not likely they would undertake an investigation based solely on the facts presented in your question. It is also unclear why the dog was with your ex and his family so the issue of who actually "owns" the dog could further complicate matters.

Driving requires
dividing your attention
between multiple
activities and being
able to react quickly
to situations that
often arise without
Do you have
these symptoms
of decreased
attention and
reaction time?
You feel overwhelmed by all of the signs, signals, road markings, pedestrians and vehicles that you must pay attention to at intersections.
Gaps in traffic are harder to judge, making it more difficult to turn left at intersections or to merge with traffic when turning right.
You take medications that make you sleepy.
You often get lost or become confused.
You experience dizziness, seizures or loss of consciousness.
You aren't confident that you can handle the demands of high speeds or heavy traffic.
You are slow to see cars coming out of driveways and side streets or to realize that another car has slowed or stopped ahead of you.
What you can do
Plan your route. Drive where you are familiar with the road conditions and traffic patterns.
Drive during the day and avoid rush hours. Find alternative routes with less traffic.
Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead. Find a marker ahead of you, such as a tree, sign or lamp post. When the car ahead of you passes this marker, count, "1001, 1002, 1003, 1004." Try to leave enough space so that you reach 1004 before you get to the same point.
When approaching intersections, remind yourself to look to the sides of the roads, as well as directly ahead.
Try to make left turns at intersections where green arrow signals provide protected turns. Sometimes you can completely avoid left turns by making a right turn at the next intersection. Two more right turns should put you on the street you need.
Scan far down the road continuously so that you can anticipate future problems and plan your actions. A passenger can serve as a "second pair of eyes." But don't get distracted in conversation!

Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs, and can be caused by a number of different things, including fungus, bacteria, and viruses. Pneumonia is more prevalent in winter months, not because it is cold, but because people tend to be indoors and in close contact more.

\r\n
There are several steps you can take to avoid contracting pneumonia during the winter months:

\r\n

\r\n
Practice good hygiene habits. Bacteria and viruses that can cause pneumonia are often passed through contact, so frequent hand washing can help prevent their spread. Be sure you wash thoroughly and with soap. Other good habits include coughing into your sleeve, and not touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
\r\n

\r\n
Focus on general health. Reducing exposure to tobacco smoke and getting chronic illnesses, like diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, under control will help minimize the risk of contracting pneumonia.
\r\n

\r\n
Get a flu shot. Flu can predispose you to pneumonia, which is one of many good reasons to be immunized against the flu. Recommended for everyone older than six months, the influenza vaccine is especially critical for seniors, pregnant women, those who have chronic health problems or compromised immune systems, and caregivers and family of those groups.
\r\n

\r\n
Consider a pneumococcal vaccine. One of the most common and fatal types of pneumonia is pneumococcal. Although the vaccine doesn't cover every possible cause for pneumonia, the current vaccination is effective against the most common strains. All adults 65 years of age and older and anyone 2 through 64 years of age who has a long-term health problem or a disease or condition that lowers the body's resistance to infection should be vaccinated for pneumonia.
\r\n

\r\n
It is important to know that just because you get the pneumococcal vaccine, that doesn't mean you won't get sick. I sometimes have patients come in and tell me that they were immunized but still got pneumonia. I tell them "You're in my office to tell me about it, so the vaccine worked." It's really a mortality benefit.
\r\n

\r\n
If you have questions about vaccinations or experience symptoms of pneumonia such as coughing, yellow or green sputum, and high fever, contact your healthcare provider.

Last week we looked at how the stock market rally over the past twelve months has been driven entirely by P/E multiple expansion. From this point forward, continued upside in the market will have to be driven by either a) earnings growth, and/or b) more expansion in the P/E multiple.
Here are some highlights from Factset's most recent 3Q12 earnings scorecard as of 11/23/12, with 97% of the companies in the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) having reported:
- Year-over-year earnings growth of -0.9%
- 70% of the companies beat earnings estimates
- 41% of the companies beat sales estimates
- 73% of the 4Q12 earnings guidance has been negative
- Since 9/30/12, analysts have reduced 4Q12 earnings growth estimates to 3.9%, down from 9.3%
This will be the first quarter of negative growth in the past eleven, and while the majority of companies beat bottom line earnings estimates, the 41% that beat top line sales estimates is the lowest since the first quarter of 2009.
Forward-looking growth estimates appear too high in our view. Just in the past two months Wall Street analysts have paired their fourth quarter growth estimates by over half, while companies themselves have also been reining in expectations with 73% of next quarter's guidance being negative. Yet, consensus estimates for 2013 continue to run north of 10% growth (there are some notable exceptions such as Morgan Stanley's Adam Parker who expects a decline of 1.0% in 2013).
There are two problems with expecting strong earnings growth in 2013. The first is a troublesome macroeconomic environment that will make it difficult for companies to grow the top line. While the US has managed to buck the trend and avoid a double-dip recession, the majority of Europe, the UK and Japan is either in or near economic contraction. Even commodity-rich and emerging countries such as Canada (NYSEARCA:EWC), Australia (NYSEARCA:EWA) and China are slowing although still positive. It's also worth pointing out that had the US been running a smaller deficit that was in-line with the average in Europe it also would be in a recession. In other words, government spending above and beyond tax receipts (e.g. deficit spending) is the only thing keeping the US economy from contracting. As Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid has stated, "…that extra deficit flexibility has made all the difference."
The chart below, taken from a recent study by the National Federation of Independent Business, reveals a disturbing trend of declining sales amongst small businesses right here is the US. The thicker line represents the net percentage of survey respondents who experienced sales growth in the last three months, while the thinner line represents the net percentage of respondents who expect sales growth in the coming three months. Both indicators are well below historical averages dating back to the mid 1970's. These businesses are obviously far smaller than the average company in the S&P 500, but this data reveals that the difficult macro environment is being felt across the spectrum of the corporate community.
The second problem with expecting strong earnings growth in 2013 is that corporate profit margins are already near record highs, so it's widely held that any further margin expansion (typically derived from aggressive cost cutting) might be limited. That said, you wouldn't necessarily get that sense from listening to the companies themselves:
"The company has commenced a restructuring plan to increase productivity, enhance competitiveness and accelerate growth. The plan will deliver pre-tax cost savings of about $450 million ($300 million in 2013) by eliminating corporate costs … The restructuring plan includes eliminating about 1,500 positions globally in the next 12-18 months." -DuPont (DD Oct. 23)
"The Dow Chemical Company today announced a restructuring program designed to accelerate cost reduction actions and advance the next stage of the Company's transformation in the midst of persistently slow macroeconomic growth. These actions will result in a net reduction of approximately 2,400 positions, or five percent of the global workforce. The restructuring also includes the shutdown of approximately 20 manufacturing facilities." - Dow Chemical (DOW Oct. 23)
"AMD expects that the restructuring actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2012 will result in operational savings, primarily in operating expenses, of approximately $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and approximately $190 million in 2013. The savings will be largely driven through a reduction of AMD's global workforce by approximately 15 percent, which is expected to be largely completed in the fourth quarter of 2012." -Advanced Micro Devices (AMD Oct. 18)
Corporations are obviously aware of the headwinds they will face in growing revenues, so perhaps their resolve in growing the bottom line will lead to more aggressive cost cutting than we realize. However, it seems to us that as companies support bottom line earnings through cost cuts they will be enforcing a negative feedback loop. More layoffs and lower capital expenditures are in and of themselves headwinds to economic growth. It's the classic paradox of thrift in which what is good for the individual company is damaging to the whole economy when individual participants are all doing the same thing simultaneously.
So what about the possibility of further P/E multiple expansion as a source of upside for the market in the coming year? As we stated last week, the market's current valuation appears fair to us when measured using trailing or forward 12-month earnings. However, another popular method, called the Shiller P/E Ratio, uses average inflation-adjusted earnings over the previous ten years in order to smooth out short term volatility in earnings. When viewed through this lens the market actually looks quite expensive.
We can't count out the possibility for higher valuation multiples by this time next year, but suffice it to say that the market is not starting from a point of being priced "cheap". Thus a difficult macroeconomic environment, historically high profit margins and extended long-term valuations are all reasons to exercise caution as we enter the upcoming New Year.

Tony Parker Banged His Teammate's Wife
Now that it's been established Eva Longoria really is getting a divorce, but didn't want to ruin today's Us Weekly exclusive she negotiated in advance, we can get down to who stuck what in who. Namely Tony Parker nailing one his teammate's wife because he's French and that's what they do. Extra reports:
"Extra" confirmed the actress found hundreds of text messages from another woman on Parker's phone, who turned out to be the wife of one of the NBA player's teammates.
Longoria's estranged husband also cheated on her earlier in the marriage with yet another woman, with whom he kept in touch via Facebook, sources say.
"She is devastated, she wants us all to know that," said good friend, Mario Lopez. "But she's strong."
Wait. Is Mario Lopez her spokesperson now? Way to defuse those rumors. Anyway, Eva has issued the following statement to Us Weekly per all that stuff I said up top about giving them the story:
"It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce," she said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. "We love each other deeply and pray for each other's happiness."
And by pray for each other's happiness, she means sue him for spousal support and launch a media blitzkrieg liken the world has never seen. On that note, I look forward to the audio tapes of Tony Parker disarmingly saying, "Oui oui, you shall blow me, mademoiselle, lest I set these crepes on fire, no?"
UPDATE: Sports Illustrated's Bryan Graham is reporting it was former Spur Brent Barry's wife. Let's assume alliteration played a role.

Mine Safety and Health Administration
Contact: Amy Louviere
Phone: (703) 235-1452
Tuesday, October 14, 1997MSHA Reminds Coal Miners of Cold-Weather Dangers
As winter approaches, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is once again warning coal operators and miners that colder weather creates more hazards in the mines. MSHA's Winter Alert campaign, which runs annually from October through March, emphasizes increased vigilance underground during the winter months.
All coal mines contain methane, and when the barometric pressure drops during colder weather, methane can migrate more easily into the mine atmosphere, increasing the risk of an explosion. Furthermore, dry winter air results in drier conditions underground, and this makes coal dust more likely to get suspended in the mine atmosphere, which also can contribute to an explosion.
"Thanks to the cooperative efforts of coal mine operators, miners and others concerned with mine safety, we have made strides to reduce the risk of explosions, but each year the risks are very real," said J. Davitt McAteer, assistant labor secretary for mine safety and health. "Mining continues to be dangerous and we must be as vigilant today as we have been in the past if we are to deal successfully with these risks."
Historically, some of the nation's worst mining disasters occurred between October and March and, since 1900, more than 250 fatal coal mine explosions have caused the loss of nearly 6,600 lives. In December 1907, an explosion in Monongah, W.Va., killed 362 miners, making it the worst mining accident in U.S. history.
This year's Winter Alert slogan -- Only YOU can prevent mine explosions! -- appears on safety signs distributed to all underground coal mines. MSHA also is disseminating Winter Alert calendars that list the dates, locations and numbers of fatalities of past coal mine explosions. When posted in mine offices, bath houses, underground sections and other areas where miners work, these signs and calendars will serve as a constant reminder of the increased dangers that exist this time of year.
MSHA also is reminding underground coal miners and operators of the following:
-- Consistently follow the mine-approved ventilation plan.
-- Conduct thorough pre-shift, on-shift and weekly checks for methane and other hazards.
-- Keep potential ignition sources out of working areas; give special attention to maintenance of bleeder systems in worked-out areas, to ensure that methane from these areas cannot accumulate and become a hazard.
-- Complete rockdusting in all areas of the mine.
-- Never smoke or carry smoking materials into an underground mine.

Gauge of economy
shows some strength
A measure of the U.S. economy's future health rose solidly in April, buoyed by a sharp rise in applications to build homes and a better job market. The Conference Board said its index of leading indicators increased 0.6 percent last month to a reading of 95. The index is intended to signal economic conditions three to six months out.
Former Tuesday
Morning CEO sues
The former CEO of Tuesday Morning has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the discount retailer, saying she was fired just months after revealing she had breast cancer. The lawsuit by Kathleen Mason says she was fired during a phone call last June, even though she had overseen the company's growth during her tenure.
Bloomberg names
outside adviser
Bloomberg LP, the financial news and information service, said it has appointed Samuel Palmisano, the former CEO of IBM, as an independent adviser on its privacy and data standards. The move comes a week after revelations that Bloomberg journalists snooped through customers information using Bloomberg's data terminals.
Tableau Software
soars in debut
Tableau Software shares soared in their trading debut Friday after the company and some of its investors raised $254.2 million in its initial public offering. The Seattle-based firm provides software that helps businesses convert data into visual presentations. The shares jumped $17.50, or 56 percent, to $48.50 in morning trading before closing at $50.75, up 64 percent.
Shareholders oust
Transocean chairman
Transocean Ltd. shareholders voted out the oil drilling company's chairman and backed one of Carl Icahn's director nominees. But they decided against the billionaire investor's proposal for a $4 dividend. Under intense pressure from Icahn, J. Michael Talbert had already said he would retire as chairman by November.
News pushed oil
above $96 a barrel
The price of oil rose to $96 a barrel on Friday on hopes that a steady recovery in the U.S. economy could boost fuel use. Benchmark oil for June delivery rose 86 cents, to close at $96.02 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. But even with three straight days of gains, oil finished the week down 2 cents.
Survey raises
savings doubts
A research report by the Pew Charitable Trusts says younger baby boomers and Generation Xers face an uncertain retirement because of reduced savings, high levels of debt, and losses during the Great Recession. The study found that members of Generation X, who are now between 38 and 47 years old, lost almost half their wealth between 2007 and 2010.
