A rally of 150 per cent – the rise in the S&P 500 since its intraday low of 666 in March 2009 – looks like the very essence of a bull market.
Adjust for inflation and it is possible to see as merely a bear market rally – perhaps the biggest dead cat bounce of all time. The real capital value of an investment in the S&P 500 is still below where it was in 2007 or 2000. After both of those peaks and subsequent crashes, shares were pumped up by central banks keeping interest rates much too low. Read more

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/6/2013 (1532 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRISBANE -- Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard played the gender card this week, warning women that "blue tie" misogynists will push women from power if she is defeated as expected in the Sept. 14 election.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, whom Gillard has attempted to portray as an unreconstructed 1950s misogynist, would oversee a government "dominated by men in blue ties," she said.
"A prime minister -- a man in a blue tie -- who goes on holidays to be replaced by a man in a blue tie.
"A treasurer, who delivers a budget wearing a blue tie, to be supported by a finance minister -- another man in a blue tie.
"Women once again banished from the centre of Australia's political life.''
The Sydney audience got the blue-tie reference. In recent months Abbott has confirmed he often chooses a white-shirt, blue-tie combo before he ventures out each day. Both the British prime minister and the American president also favour the colour combo.
The day after Gillard's speech, blue ties were everywhere. Even Kevin Rudd -- the former Labour PM ousted by his former deputy Gillard -- was sporting one.
Campaigning in Sydney, Rudd insisted his wardrobe was not a sign of disrespect for Gillard.
Sailing close to the dangerous waters of chauvinism himself, Rudd insisted it was the women folk in his family who choose his wardrobe.
"Like most blokes in the country I have no sense of fashion," he said.
"I rely upon (wife) Therese and (daughter) Jessica to buy my ties for me, and this is the one that has been packed away for me for this particular occasion.''
The disconnect between Gillard's firm belief that female MPs' clothes are unfairly scrutinized and her bold assault on the male blue tie aside, the PM has a point.
If Abbott wins Sept. 14, and he will unless Labour can organize divine intervention, the presence of women in the federal parliament is likely to be severely reduced.
Yet the deputy-prime-minister-in-waiting, Julie Bishop, took great umbrage at the suggestion that a win by the conservative opposition would lead to women removed from the circle of power.
Bishop, whose well-tailored outfits are never within a cooee (Australian bush cry) of a blue tie, has never had difficulty finding her way to the centre of influence in this country.
Bishop said the Gillard speech represented the base politics of fear and division.
"She should be governing for all Australians and not trying to wage a gender war and divide the community as a distraction from her self-inflicted political woes," Bishop said.
"We are a better nation than this."

It's great to see ProSwitcher back to life again.
I don't know, can't view the video on an iPad!
Not basically - proswitcher has been updated for iOS4 and is in cydia for free (beta).
Without being able to view this video I have no idea what this app offers over proswitcher.
As someone whos used Multfl0w since it was first released, i feel CardSwitcher is a bit laggy, Multifl0w is so much smoother to use and feels more stable, dont get me wrong i love the ProSwitcher concept but IMO Multifl0w is a better all rounder multiTasker, i say try both and you'll soon find a winner.
Promising but when I tried it the springboard did crash and put me into safe mode every time so had to delete

AVON PARK, Fla. - The Saint Leo men's golf team finished their first day of match play at the Warner Invitational competed at the River Greens Golf Course in Avon Park.
While GolfStat.com does not have a first-day recap posted (as of 1:15am 3/6/12), Coach Ray Cisbani did recap the day in an interview with SaintLeoLions.com.
"After the first day the team shot 290 and 293 for a second place finish to earn a shot at the title," Cisbani said. "This is a unique format where two rounds of stroke play are completed and then the two top teams play an 18 hole match play format for the championship."
"Nick Brothers led the Lions shooting a 72 and 68 to earn second place individual honors. The team was a bit hesitant the second round and didn't allow themselves to take advantage of the conditions. We need to get over the hump of being afraid to fail and to attack the course where it needs to be attacked. Getting to a good number and then trying to protect it is the formula to fail, there is a reason we get to low numbers and when we have those days trying to protect a lead will only come back to haunt us."
"Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a strong run towards the SSC Championship. If they allow their talent to take over their game instead of fear, I only see good things in the near future."
The Lions will be competing against Webber University in match play starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday.

MELKSHAM captain Callum Hurn saluted his side's first-half display for paving the way to victory over Swindon 2nd.
The home side ran in five tries before the break and, despite a Swindon revial, added a sixth in the secnd period for a bonus point win.
Hurn said: "We hit our stride in the first half putting together some good passages of rugby, but to their credit Swindon regrouped and came back at us in the second half.
"It was a great day for Steve Watson, scoring twice on his first team debut and for Nick Suter with a strong ball-carrying performance.
"On the whole I was very proud of the performance displayed by everyone.'' Melksham's momentum finally exploded into life in the second part of the opening half.
The first try came from Watson powering across the line.
Phil Williams then forced his way, with Rob Bailey adding the conversion.
A scything, powerful run from Suter, starting inside his half eluding tacklers until just short of the line where Sam Norris arrived to receive the scoring pass brought the third score, Bailey adding the extras.
The wingers were next in action as Nathan Jones received the ball out wide backed himself to touch down.
Watson then went in for his second, Bailey's extras making it 31-0 at half time.
Swindon rallied for their first try, but Simon Foster received the ball 15 metres out and scored again for the home side.
Swindon battled on and were rewarded with an unconverted try.
Melksham veteran Steve Harris also got on the field before the end.
WINGER Jack Brooks took his points tally past the 100 mark with a try in each half and conversion as Westbury lost 18-12 to Sherborne 2nd in Dorset & Wilts One South.

Emmanuel Rovithis, a 23 years old Canadian, the son of a Greek father and a Polish mother, converted to Islam last year. Emmanuel who grew up in a Catholic family and visited church thoughout his life expressed that he was leading a religious life before converting to Islam but had never believed in the trinity: "although I was going to church every Sunday and read Bible with youth groups, I have always believed that Allah exists and there is Only one God; Allah. All the prophets including Moses (as), Jesus (as) and Mohammed (saas) communicated the Oneness of Allah and in their own language they said; 'La ilaha illa Allah' (There is no god but Allah). There is no controversy in here. Muslim scholars or even ordinary Muslims can prove this by giving examples from the Bible, from the Qur'an and also from science."
Emmanuel puts Islam apart from other religions and says: "All religions teach us that salvation is possible through belief. Islam, on the other hand, defines faith with evidence. In the Qur'an Allah reveals that only professing 'I believe' is not enough for salvation but a sincere belief coming from the heart is essential. This is not something a man-made religion can put forth."

Jessica Lange: unseen
8 Feb, 2013 - 19 May, 2013
Jessica Lange has maintained a career as a fine art photographer for nearly two decades, alongside her work as an acclaimed actress. As a photographer, Lange documents diverse cultures from regional and international travels. Alternately comforting and disquieting, the artist's striking and unexpected photographs possess a kind of moody mystery that is appropriately cinematic. MOPA is pleased to present the first United States exhibition of Jessica Lange's mid-career retrospective unseen. The exhibition gathers work from Mexico, Ethiopia, Romania, Russia, Finland, Italy, France and the United States.

The year has come to a close and I wanted to take a moment to share some of my New Year's resolutions for 2013. Have you thought about what you'd like to accomplish in 2013? I recently heard something on a documentary called, 'HAPPY,' that made me think. They said 40% of someone's happiness has to do with the leisurely activities they do in their free time. It's so important for us as people to constantly challenge ourselves to get out of our routine and create newness in our lives. New activities, new hobbies and find new ways to be our best selves. Following are the ways I will be striving in 2013 to be the best Kristen, so that I can only better those around me. Blessings to you all for a wonderful, joyous, 2013.
1. Get creative! The times when I am being creative are probably some of my happiest times. I am striving in 2013 to make better collages, take more creative pictures, and create more beauty through fashion for you all to enjoy.
2. More and more photos – photography is innate in me and I haven't fully yet explored this outlet of creativity as much as I could. This year I will be taking many many more photos.
3. Dance… I used to dance in college. I plan to take it back up again. This year I'd like to explore more modern dance.
4. Give…Think outside of myself as much as possible and strive to make those close to me happier in any way that I can.
5. More Service – this is a general statement, but super important resolution. I hope to volunteer more, create more opportunities for my clients, and help our clients do even more of the amazing work that they do. See Raven + Lily and Sseko Designs to get an idea of what I'm referring to.
6. Push the fashion limits and create beauty and poetry without words, but with clothes, colors and texture. I.E., Style Wax Poetic .
7. Celebrate – the beautiful, tiny, treasures in life.
8. Practice Gratitude – working with the clients that we do, I have the opportunity to learn about some of the most beautiful cultures in the world. They have next to nothing, yet they want to give you everything, still. We are blessed. We have toilets, clothes, inner and outer beauty, family and friends. I have the opportunity to share my heart and passion with you through Style Wax Poetic. I am grateful, and we must not ever lost that feeling in 2013!
9. Meditate more – I am always my best self when I take time out of my date to mediate and pray. This can be more spiritual reasons or nonspiritual reasons. I think it can be wonderful for everyone, whatever their interests are. More inner peace for all, we all deserve it.
10. Live colorfully! I have a lot of simple colors on my wardrobe, but I love COLOR. This year, I'm going to be more BOLD with my wardrobe. Watch and see..
11. More interviews – In 2013, I plan to dive deeper and find out more behind the scenes of designers, musicians, and photographers. Yay!
12. Rebrand – I will be rebraning very very soon. This will be like a fresh new start of a relationship. From me, to you, with love.
13. Love more openly, to all and to the one who deserves it most.
13. Enjoy the fabulous, beauty, of clothes, creativity and all the things that Style Wax Poetic has brought into my life.
Live, love, enjoy and be fashionable!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
I just wiggle the rocker arms, if they have some slop then I know I'm at TDCF.
I don't bother even lining up marks but I figured the new guy would be safer doing it the factory way
The cam shaft rotates 1 time for every 2 times the crank shaft rotates. So if you line up the cam shaft mark, it will always be TDC firing.
I don't have pictures yet but, here's the text.
good point. Was thinking about the valve adjustment procedure of the 950's where you have to pull the cams out to get at the buckets. Forgot that the cam stay in place in the 690 motor...makes life a lot easier.
Damn I need a valve JOB. Dont think I can convince the wif of the living room being the right spot. Dont think I can squeeze it into an afternoon while she is at work, so I'm f"d. Dont want to pay the steelers and it would be my first v'job...yeah I'm virgin. And my math aint so gooood. Measuring the little f'ers (assuming I'm out of spec) is going to test my logic skilz. Suppose it is easier the second time for you pros.
So, gonna have to delay the inevitable for a sunny day in the condo parking lot. Seen the links, time for a deep breath of spring air, in the spring, and go for it. FYYFF.
Technology to the rescue
I didn't make this gem, but it's an excel spread sheet that you punch in the numbers to and it spits out closest shim fit KTM part number
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19350741/690 Valve Calculator.xls
FWIW - you can get harley Shims for the V-rods in smaller increments than the ones from KTM if you want a more accurate fit. KTM ones go at 0.005 mm and the HD ones are 0.0025 per step
It surely does, 15 minute valve checks, another 5 if you have to re-shim.
Valve JOB or valve clearance check? Two very different things.
Hey has anybody seen or (hopefully have a link) for an extension harness for the 2010 enduro R instrument? I swear I have seen one for sale somewhere, but I have been looking all night without success
Thank you
Now we have finished the EVO2 moulds we are back onto some development jobs we want to get into production this spring.
One of them is our 2 piece billet clutch cover to suit the KTM 690 Enduro and Rally.
Here are a couple of shots of the finished CNC machined model,which we will fit to an engine,before making the final billet aluminium parts.
Dammit ktmmitch, I want your job!
I'd like to train someone up,just like me.............
But then I think,no,they would be a bitch to live with!!!!!
My Evo 2 parts are starting to land at my front door
I will post pics as thing get opened up !!!
I'm curious as to how the main fairing mount that fits against the steering stem can miss the big black plastic wire junction thing that is already there...and if there is enough slack in the instrument panel wiring to move it to the Rally Raid dash board...I'm waiting to see what (if any) your frustration level is as you install...
I'm heading for central Mexico end of March and would like to have the fairing and tanks mounted by then...
The big plastic housing is removed and the wiring loom re-routed through our cockpit support.It reaches easily up to the speedo mounted in the dash,for either the Adventure,or in this case,the Rally version.
Thanks for the tip...I'll be ordering in a few days...
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
the wire loom seem to have lots of slack in it.
I will post pics as I do the install.

If you have read some of my other articles, you will see that I am a committed Liberal Democrat.
That said, I am not going to abuse the hospitality of the Western Telegraph and make some political rants that could be used by others to complain that the paper has breached its "independent" stance.
I was reading the list of nominations yesterday and I can see that there are 13 councillors already elected, as they have been returned unopposed. The same figure as last time. What a shame for democracy that 13 out of 60 seats are already filled!
There are just 4 nominations for the Liberal Democrats, 13 for Plaid Cymru and 18 for Labour.
There are 36 who call themselves Independent and 39 with no description at all, so its safe to assume they are independent as well.
The most obvious change from last time is the fact that there are 30 Conservative candidates. As many people invariably say that Independents are really Conservatives but afraid to show their true colours, the My 3rd elections are certainly going to be interesting.
Is it possible that the Independent Political Group could actually lose their majority this time round as its possible that the Conservatives could increase their number and thus deprive the IPG of the majority they've had alll these years.
So could there then be a ruling IPG/Conservative coalition?
Or could there be a Rainbow coalition of the other parties to deny the IPG of power.
Whatever happens over the next few weeks, could we see some surprise on May 4th, once the results are known?
I look forward to seeing what the parties have to say in their manifestos. I understand the Conservative manifesto is to be launched today.
The big question is, will the Independents actually produce a manifesto?

Parramatta coach Ricky Stuart will make Sharks skipper Paul Gallen stick to a promise and walk down The Kingsway in Cronulla naked if the beleaguered Eels can beat his team this weekend.
Stuart fronted reporters on Wednesday after six of his players failed to show up at a scheduled media session the day before to explain Monday's 50-0 loss to the Sydney Roosters.
The Eels coach said it would be "very hard" to get confidence back into his squad after such an embarrassment but added he was looking forward to some comeuppance on Saturday when they face the Sharks at Parramatta Stadium.
Stuart bumped into Gallen on Tuesday, the Sharks stalwart no contemplating anything else other than a win.
"He said that if we beat them he's going to walk down The Kingsway naked," Stuart said with a grin.
"I'll hold him to that and I hope we can beat them just so I can be there to see that."
Stuart stood by comments he made post-match on Monday that he expects more hidings as the club tries to rebuild itself.
"It's just reality," he said.
"It's something that we don't want but it's just reality. We're working very hard as a team."
Eels co-captain Tim Mannah backed Stuart's assessment, saying the comments weren't demoralising at all for the team.
"We understand what Ricky's doing - he's just wanting fans to understand where we're at at the moment," he said.
"It is a new-look team, it is a new way of playing.
"So for us, it's just a matter of improving where we can and just trying to get a little bit better every week."
Mannah, whose late brother will be honoured in this weekend's match, said he sees it as a challenge to turnaround a performance that was both embarrassing and unacceptable.
"I don't think we're too far away from being a really good football team, it's just a matter of reaching out potential more every week," he said.

THIS summer's unusual weather has brought a touch of the tropics to one Worcester garden.
Following a fairly mild winter and some forecasters predicting this could be the hottest summer on record, Sue Leeman's banana trees in her garden at her home in Rogers Hill have grown to more than twice their normal height this summer, standing more than 12 feet tall.
Retired gardener Mrs Leeman said it was especially unusual to see the trees grow so high as her garden is north-facing - far from ideal conditions for growing plants more commonly seen in more tropical climes.
Although the trees have not produced fruit - yet - Mrs Leeman said she was astonished by the massive difference between the height of the trees, which usually grow no more than six feet.
"It's like being in Peru," she said.
"They are absolutely incredible.
"I'm not supposed to be able to grow them at all - I have to build a banana house to protect them in the winter."
The trees are planted in large pots as the soil is not ideal for growing tropical trees.
Mrs Leeman got in touch with the Worcester News to see if anyone in the city had experienced anything similar.
"Nature is like this I suppose," she said.
"Everything is a bit weird this year.
"It would be interesting to find out if anyone else has had the same thing."
Nursery supervisor at Pershore College's Avonbank Nurseries Josh Egan-Wyer said the g
"Even the evenings have been very warm over the past few weeks," he said.
"There hasn't been much of a fluctuation in temperature and it's been really warm - it's been hotter than Barcelona at some times.
"When it has rained it's been like a tropical downpour so it's been ideal growing conditions."

The Retinenes (Retinene1 and Retinene2) are chemical derivatives of the dietary supplement vitamin A (see retinol) formed through oxidation reactions.
Retinene1 is better known as retinaldehyde or simply retinal and is fundamental in the transduction of light into visual signals in the photoreceptor level of the retina. Retinene2 is more formally known as dehydroretinaldehyde.
The energy of impinging photons will convert retinaldehyde from an 11-cis isomer into an all-trans form. In the retina, this conversion induces a conformational change in the surrounding photopsin protein pigment, leading to signaling through the G protein transducin. Retinaldehyde also forms a part of bacteriorhodopsin, a light-induced proton pump found in some archaea.
Experimentally, it is possible to replace 11-cis retinaldehyde by perfusing retinal tissue preparations with retinaldehyde derivatives. Selective modification of the retinaldehyde structure, particularly the density of electrons in the π-orbitals, can lead to insights into the interaction between the retinaldehyde moiety and the surrounding pigment protein.

Report: Apple Testing Designs for Large-Screen HDTV
Tiffany Kaiser
December 12, 2012 3:01 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: blogcdn.com)
Apple's Asian supplier Hon Hai Precision Co. is working with Sharp on the designs
While Apple's iPhone and iPad are largely successful, there's one gadget the tech giant just can't seem to get off the ground:
Apple TV
However, a new report from
The Wall Street Journal
said that Apple may not be bombing out completely in the television realm as it's currently testing TV designs with component suppliers in Asia.
Two sources from some of Apple's suppliers confirmed that Apple is testing designs for a high-definition, large-screen TV set. They also mentioned that Hon Hai Precision Co. (which trades as Foxconn) is working with Sharp Corp. on the project.
While the TV is still in its earliest stages, this represents progress in
Apple's TV venture
, since products are usually developed and tested in-house before being sent out to suppliers. But it's important to keep in mind that Apple has tested many TV prototypes and this one may not make it to production, either.
Nevertheless, it's a spring forward for the successful tech company who could one day compete with the likes of Samsung, which is already a fierce competitor in the mobile hardware market. As far as television software, Apple could face competitors like Google with its own smart
Google TV
. Apple's iOS software for mobile devices already competes with Google's Android operating system.
Apple currently sells Apple TV, which is a
$99 digital media receiver
that plays content from the iTunes Store, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. However, Apple wants Apple TV to be so much more. For example, a
game console, the ability to receive live content over the Web, live content from television networks, surf the Internet, record shows via a built in hard drive, watch Internet videos and play pictures/songs.
Apple's biggest issue with making that dream a reality, however, is its inability to strike a deal with content providers on cable networks for live television content. Comcast and CBS have rejected any affiliation with Apple TV, saying that it wants too much control over the content.
Apple has been fighting this battle with content providers since 2005, but has been unsuccessful so far.
But that doesn't mean Apple TV is a total lost cause. The tech giant was still able to strike deals with content streaming services like Netflix and Hulu Plus to provide content that can be viewed on a television screen. In Q1 2012, Apple sold 1.4 million Apple TV devices, which isn't too bad, but of course Apple is striving for a better product and better sales.
The Wall Street Journal
"If they're going to pirate somebody, we want it to be us rather than somebody else." -- Microsoft Business Group President Jeff Raikes

9 Celebrity Families We'd Like to Spend the Holidays With (And One We Don't)
Ever wonder how, say, the Jolie-Pitts celebrate the holidays (if at all)? We sure do.
-Lucia Peters
The months of November and December are an especially fun time of year. Why? The holidays, of course! Between Thanksgiving, Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Years', and every other holiday you can think of, these two months encompass a particularly festive time of year. And you know what festivity means. That's right: Family. Whether they're your biological family or your friends and the family that you choose for yourself, what are the holidays without family? We're all looking forward to spending time with ours here at BettyConfidential; but part of us can't help but be curious about what the holidays might be like at these celebrity families' houses…
1. The Jolie-Pitts
Who wouldn't want to experience the holidays with the Jolie-Pitt crew? One can only imagine how a socially-aware, star-powered, eight-person family with six kids would handle them. If at all, come to think of it; wouldn't it be interesting if they eschewed the holidays all together? It seems like the kind of thing they'd do. In a good way.
2. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner
Talk about a classically happy holiday! These guys always look like they dig being a family so much, we can't help but want to spend an occasion like this with them!
Read 10 Actors Who Quit Acting
3. Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
Because there are just so many reasons why we love them (If this is what Halloween is like, what about the winter holidays?). And now that the twins are a little over a year old, they're getting to the point where they'll quite curious about everything. There's nothing quite like watching wee ones figure out what the holidays are about.
4. The Lohans
Let's be clear on this: We don't want to spend the holidays with them because it will be a joyous occasion. We want to spend the holidays with them to witness the inevitable shitshow that will happen. Because nobody does dysfunctional family gatherings quite the way the Lohans do!
5. The Wahlbergs
All of them. Mark, Donnie, and everyone. At Wahlburgers. A big, happy Bostonian holiday. Yes.
More celeb families, including Tina Fey's, up next!

Sue Gallagher has a broad range of advocacy and policy experience; she has worked on issues as
varied as suicide prevention, the development of traffic safety materials for native Spanish-speakers,
and building capacity in state and local health agencies. In addition to working at the Massachusetts
Department of Health for years, Sue was chosen to be a Robert Woods Johnson Health Policy Fellow and worked with Senator Durbin of Illinois. As an internationally recognized expert on child and adolescent injury prevention, she has founded several injury prevention organizations and research centers, was chair of the American Public Health Association's Injury Control and Emergency Health Services Section and worked with the Institute of Medicine to create the Reducing the Burden of Injury report. Now as the Director of the MS Health Communication program at TUSM, Sue has invaluable insights and expertise to offer students and community health advocates.
Cristi: Tell us about your connection to public health advocacy.
Sue: I became interested in advocacy when I worked at the State Health Department. I was amazed at how much we take for granted and the need for advocacy to get and keep public health issues on the agenda. I realized that a lot more than data is needed in order to be listened to and to make an impact. My interest has always been bridging the gap between research and policy and practice in whatever area of public health I worked. So advocacy is a natural fit; if you want to bridge that gap, you're always trying to advocate for what is effective and efficient.
Cristi: How did you become involved?
Sue: The state health department changed my life and gave me a whole new perspective on public health and advocacy. One issue I was particularly involved in early on, in the late 70s, early 80s, was improving existing data systems – what is included on injury causation medical records and how it is coded. For instance, death certificates show the external cause of injury and are coded as such, which is the area I was working in. But when you looked at hospitalizations and emergency room visits, records usually included the cause of injury, but were not coded as such because there was not a requirement. The cause of injury is the missing link in injury prevention so in that way the records didn't really help identify many aspects of this public health issue. Only the nature of the injury was coded, so you'd know there was a skull fracture but you wouldn't know if the individual was hurt on the playground, in sports or in a car crash. I found out that no state in the country had a requirement for external cause coding and Massachusetts only had about 9% of external causes reported. I got more involved in the American Public Health Association and also started meeting other people who had identified the same problem in their states. And then I wound up leading a national initiative – we were able to get 26 states to adopt a mandate over a five year period and now most of those states have good external cause coding to understand and prioritize their injury problems based on both incidence and treatment costs. What was the impetus for my taking this on? Each state has a maternal and child health block grant and a needs assessment is conducted every five years to prioritize funding from federal dollars. Injuries, which are the leading cause of death for children and teens, never came up. I realized that was because statewide population-based data on nonfatal injuries was not available. The external cause of injury was not being coded.
Cristi: What lessons have you drawn from your advocacy experience?
Sue: It takes a long time to get changes made and persistence pays off. Drawing from my U.S. Senate experience: legislative assistants and fellows are very reliant on advocacy groups to come to them because they can't possibly keep up on every single topic. When policymakers want to know what the climate is on an issue or to make a decision on an issue, advocacy groups can provide the pros and cons very easily. I learned how important advocacy groups are in policy making when I needed the latest and accurate information for floor debate or when determining what really should be included in a bill.. And the more groups you can bring together on an issue for critical mass, the more it strengthens the effort to get a bill passed or to get change. It takes time – but if you stick with it, you can get it done. Compromise is critical.
Cristi: What do you think the most valuable skills are in advocacy?
Sue: Very good communication skills, both written and oral, are important. You need to be able to convey what you want to say in a way that resonates with the person you're talking to. Know your facts about the person in order to develop an approach. You need to be able to analyze an issue and succinctly get your message across, using only a few sentences to state the problem, describe how others feel and what the opposition is thinking, and propose possible ways of addressing the problem. It's important to be succinct and to carefully choose your message. Also an ability to discuss both sides of an issue. An ability to bring groups of people together to collaborate around an issue. And the ability to translate research and synthesize it briefly for your audience.
Cristi: Are there any resources you can recommend to student who are interested in advocacy?
Sue: The Massachusetts General Legislature's website has a lot of information relevant to state legislation. The Massachusetts Public Health Association website makes a lot of resources and information available on advocacy and a variety of public health issues. The advocacy section of the APHA's website and the APHA Guide for Effective Public Health Advocacy are both great, useful tools. The Thomas website is where you should start for the federal level. And the advocacy section of the Research America website has many advocacy tips and tools.
Cristi: Any final words of wisdom for aspiring advocates?
Sue: You can't do advocacy piecemeal. Have a strategy and be persistent. Persistence will pay off. But understand that you will most likely need to compromise. Identify a champion to work with and don't be discouraged because change takes a long time.

International airfare (to the journey starting point and from the ending point) is not included in program pricing. Abercrombie & Kent USA, LLC, has special agreements with many air carriers and can offer quotations from any gateway. Some journeys require internal flights as specified in the itinerary. This airfare is typically not included and must be purchased from A&K in addition to the journey. In the instance where charter flights are used and seating is limited, A&K reserves the right to substitute and confirm air reservations on a suitable alternative scheduled air flight. All internal air is based on economy class seating and is 100% non-refundable at time of air purchase. All international and internal air quotes are subject to change until final payment has been received by A&K. Flight confirmation is based on availability. Air reservations cannot be confirmed until a passport copy is received by A&K.
All air carriers are independent contractors and are not owned, managed, controlled or operated by Abercrombie & Kent. Your airline ticket constitutes a contract between yourself and the airlines (and not A&K), even if purchased through A&K. A&K is not liable for, and does not assume responsibility or accept claims with regard to, seat assignments, name changes, schedule changes, flight changes and/or cancellations. Should you change or cancel your air transportation arrangements before or after your travel begins, all airline change and cancellation fees will apply.
Abercrombie & Kent provides porterage of two (2) pieces of baggage per person. Weight and size restrictions imposed by airlines on some routes on internal/domestic flights and charter flights may apply; details will be provided with Preliminary Documents. Baggage and personal effects are at the owner's risk throughout the travel program, and A&K assumes no liability for lost or damaged baggage. Please check with your international carrier for other baggage restrictions and fees applicable to your international flights.
Quoted program prices are per person, double occupancy except where indicated. Marco Polo Club discount is not eligible on Connections, Connections River Cruise and Private Jet Journeys. Marco Polo Club programs have two prices; a higher price that allows us to guarantee departures for small groups of two to six guests and a lower price for groups of seven or more guests. The higher price will be noted on your initial invoice and reduced before you depart if your group has seven or more guests. Although not expected, published prices may be modified due to unexpected significant external factors not forecasted at the time of printing. A&K is under no obligation to give a breakdown in costs of any journey. Modification of program content to accommodate a smaller group size will not affect the published program price.
The minimum age is 10 years old unless noted on the itinerary and all children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Minimum age is 12 years old for Connections River Cruise Journeys and varies for Family Journeys. Some activities contained within an itinerary may have a different age restriction than the overall minimum age requirement. Details will be provided at the time of booking. A&K reserves the right to marginally exceed the published maximum group size on Family journeys to accommodate a family.
Some active elements have been incorporated into select itineraries. To enjoy the trip as intended, a minimum level of fitness is required. A&K will require notice if any participant has any physical or other condition or disability that could create a hazard to him or herself or to other members of the group. Women over six (6) months pregnant are not permitted to board 'Le Boreal', 'Le Soléal' or 'Le Lyrial'. A&K reserves the right to decline acceptance of anyone whom it considers unsuitable due to fitness level. A&K also reserves the right to remove from the trip, at the participant's own expense, anyone whose physical condition or conduct negatively impacts the enjoyment of the other guests or disrupts the tour.
Our Guest Protection Program, which provides cancellation coverage, medical coverage and protection against lost or damaged luggage, is not included in the program price and is strongly recommended. In order for the preexisting medical condition exclusion to be waived, the plan must be purchased within 14 days of deposit. Call A&K for details.
Special Requirement for Antarctica and Arctic Expedition Cruises: Due to the remote locations, A&K requires proof of a minimum of $50,000 per person in emergency evacuation/ repatriation insurance for all Antarctica and Arctic cruises. This minimum amount is included in the A&K Guest Protection Program; upgrades can be purchased for higher coverage on request. If you do not purchase the A&K Guest Protection Program, we require proof of alternative coverage. Please note emergency evacuation insurance provides for covering the cost associated with emergency evacuation and repatriation up to the limits of the respective policy; however, it does NOT guarantee the timing, method or mode of such evacuation and repatriation, which is subject to weather, location and other conditions or variables outside of A&K's control.

All guests are advised to check with the appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida couple is thanking Chick-fil-A for finding and returning their runaway daughter.
Steve and Tammy Harp found a note last week from their 16-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn Harp, saying she had left home with a 19-year-old man she met online. The only clue the Harps found about where their daughter might be was a photo they found on Instagram, which showed the girl hugging a young man who was wearing a Chick-fil-A shirt, according to USA Today.
The parents went to a Chick-fil-A in Jacksonville to ask whether any workers knew the man or anything about their daughter. They didn't, but managers helped them get in touch with another store, which led to the photos being posted on a Facebook page for Chick-fil-A managers, USA Today reported.
A manager in Winter Haven recognized the employee the same day. Manager Elio Florin told the employee, identified as Daniel Bridgeman, to have Kaitlyn Harp call her parents. Florin then drove the teen the 200 miles back home, returning her to her parents at about 2:30 the next morning, the newspaper reported.
Bridgeman won't face charges, but did get a "stern lecture" from police, according to USA Today.

Hopping Road from Taito, Let's "Hop" Together! Video Review
The AOU was held in Tokyo this week-end. AOU stands for All "Nippon Amusement Machine Operator's Union" and we were kindly invited by Taito to test their latest arcade game, "Hopping Road"… They had a huge booth with a lot of cool other stuff that we'll cover later, but I completely fell for Hopping Road, a game completely out of the ordinary where you use a pogo stick to play.
What's this all about? Imagine an average race where you have to collect diamonds and your character's a cute little animal that uses a pogo stick to race. While it would have been easy for Taito to use a simple jump button to help your character to jump around, they made things WAY more fun by giving you to a pogo stick… Not only do you collect as many diamonds as possible, to finish first you ALSO have to jump the most… You can finish first, but if you collect less diamonds than your competitors your overall score may be less.
The game can be played alone or with up to 4 players. You'd better be in shape and not fluffy like me, after several runs I was out of breath. This game is simple, but I had a LOT of FUN!
A bit of background, this game was developed in collaboration with Taito and Wiz, the overall concept behind it was to create something fun to use at any age (easy to understand)… Development time took 10 months from the initial idea to the product we have now.
It's in Japan now, but the good news is Taito and Wiz wants to export this system all over the world.
Big thumbs-up to Taito on this one, and enjoy our video below!

The Isles prospect contributed his third assist of the tournament on Shawinigan's first goal of the night feeding Brandon Gormley, who put It into the net. Kabanov scored the Cataractes' fourth goal of the night 2:56 into the second period. He was able to score on a fluke shot that missed the net, hitting the glass behind it, a and bounced off Oil King goaltender Laurent Brossoit and went into the net.
"It's sometimes disappointing, but a goal is a goal," Kabanov told Buzzing the Net about the goal. Adding later that he had never scored like that, but thought "it was kind of funny."
The goal was Kabanov's first of the tournament and now has 4 points in the four games Shawinigan has played in the tournament.
The Cataractes play Saint John tomorrow night at 7pm.
Voting begins today, as the Islander all-star goes head to head with Detroit Red wings forward Pavel Datsyuk. Tavares knocked out Jordan Eberle in the first round of the cover vote.
"I'm flattered that I am moving onto the next round of the EA Sports NHL13 Cover Vote," Tavares told the Islanders' team website. "I've always said that we have amazing fans on Long Island that support this team. I appreciate the hours of voting they've put in for me and look forward to seeing what they can do as I'm up next against one of the NHL's great players, Pavel Datsyuk. Don't count Islander fans out, they'll always end up surprising you."
Tavares has received endorsements from several other NHL players like P.K. Subban, Patrick Sharp, Steven Stamkos, and his fellow Islander teammates.
Rival Henrik Lundqvist is also in the second round of the competition going up against Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators.
Voting goes from today until Wednesday, May 23. Click here to vote for John Tavares and get him to the semi-finals.
The Team did respond and I thought it was worth posting:
We understand our fans' frustration and are disappointed in the team's performance on the ice. The New York Islanders thrive on the support of the fans, which is why we'll continue to hold events like the Draft Party. As an organization, we will not stop having these events because they give Islanders fans the opportunity to show your support, share your passion with friends and family and enjoy a fun experience with your favorite team.
Thanks to reader sportsfan1970 for the heads up.
The New York Islanders announced today that passes for the 2012 Draft Party are now available to the general public by clicking the ticketmaster link above or by visiting the Nassau Coliseum Box. The Draft Party is scheduled for Friday, June 22 at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Passes to this fan fest are free, but each individual can only reserve up to eight. Doors for the Draft Party open at 5:30 p.m. and the live stream of the NHL Entry Draft in Pittsburgh begins at 7 p.m.
Fans will not only get to watch the Draft live and see exclusive interviews with the Islanders fourth overall selection, but they will also have the chance to meet some of their favorite players at the Draft Party. John Tavares will hand out his autographed jersey to preferred season ticket holders, while Matt Moulson, Matt Martin, Nino Niederreiter, Kevin Poulin, Ryan Strome, Casey Cizikas and Calvin de Haan will also be in attendance. Fans will also have the opportunity to interact with select Islanders alumni.
The Draft Party will once again play host to the Islanders annual year-end blowout merchandise sale, located in the lower lobby. The Islanders Team Store, located next to the Nassau Coliseum Box Office, will feature additional sales and specials.
Interactive activities on the Nassau Coliseum floor will include exclusive locker room tours, street hockey contests, I.C.E. Tour inflatable games and video game stations. The Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center will once again provide an interactive exhibit at the event, while the popular Hockey Hall of Fame exhibit will also return to the Draft Party, featuring historic jerseys, sticks and skates used by NHL legends.
The Coliseum scoreboard, which normally hangs well above center ice, will be lowered for up-close, oversized interviews of the Islanders players and alumni in attendance. The big screen will also feature exclusive, live coverage from IslandersTV at the Draft, with interviews with members of the hockey operations staff and behind-the-scenes footage.
Prior to and during the 2012 Draft Party, The American Red Cross will host a blood drive. Fans can donate blood in the Coliseum's exhibition hall anytime between noon and 8 p.m. on draft day.]]>

The rumor appeared on twitter late Sunday evening saying that Parenteau wanted to play in the Canadian city and was looking for a 4 year, $3 million deal. Walsh refuted the rumor on twitter saying, "the only thing PA Parenteau is focused on at this time is returning to the NYI."
He later told Islanders Hockey Blog via email: "PA Parenteau's sole focus is returning to the NYI. The Islanders gave him his opportunity to play regularly in the NHL. He enjoys a special relationship with the head coach and his teammates. It's PA's sincere hope that he can remain an Islander."
Parenteau will be an unrestricted free agent come July 1, if the Islanders do not resign him.]]>
Chesnokov tweeted out at 7:36 that the Islander prospect had signed a contract extension with his KHL team, AK Bars. Petrov is in the final year of his KHL contract and was expected to come to North America and join the Isles for training camp in September.
NY Times hockey writer and former Islanders Point Blank blogger, Chris Botta added more to the story.
"Just got off the phone with the agent for #Isles prospect Kirill Petrov," he posted on Sulia. "The #Isles very much want Petrov to come to North America this season, but he is leaning towards signing for another one or two years in the KHL. He has strong offers for both in KHL. His mother remains very ill and he wants to be able to stay close to her. Petrov is also a bit scared off by the uncertainty of negotiations this summer for a new CBA for the NHL. As of now, looks like he's staying in KHL. Decision soon."
Things could change, but for now it seems that he will be staying in Russia.
On one hand you can understand the precarious situation Petrov is with his mother since she is ill. Anyone can understand the want, and need, to be around and help take care of her. Also his fear of another lockout is something that any hockey fan can understand.
But it still is a loss for the Islanders who, as Botta said, really wanted to get the 22 year old to North America.

Although there is no cure for eczema, there are several lifestyle changes you can make that can help you manage the symptoms of eczema.
General tips for minimizing symptoms and helping to prevent flare-ups include the following:
Consistent skin care is one of the most critical methods for treatment and prevention of eczema flare-ups. Caring for your skin will not only help prevent outbreaks of eczema, but it may also help prevent bacterial skin infections common in people with eczema.
Doctors recommend that you establish a daily routine to care for your skin. This includes:
Outbreaks of eczema are often caused by skin exposure to irritants such as:
Protect your skin by maintaining cool, stable temperatures and average humidity levels. Avoid cold, dry weather conditions, and minimize outdoor exposure during cold weather. Wear clothing that covers and protects your skin as much as possible, and hydrate the skin with moisturizers after exposure.
Also avoid conditions where you will be exposed to excess moisture, such as in steam baths and hot tubs or when sweating after strenuous exercise.
Because there are many allergens that may trigger eczema, it is nearly impossible to completely eliminate all allergens from your environment. However, there are many things you can do to help reduce allergens and minimize your exposure to allergic triggers. For example, to limit your exposure to dust, animal dander, molds, and pests, keep your home and work environment clean and dry.
Maintaining emotional balance and avoiding stress are strongly recommended, as stress is a strong trigger for eczema outbreaks. If you need support or assistance in reducing stress, you may want to try some of the following techniques:
People with eczema seem to be more sensitive to itching and feel the need to scratch longer in response. Often, this creates an "itch-scratch cycle"—the skin itches, the person scratches, and the skin becomes even itchier. This scratching pattern will affect your skin reaction and healing patterns, sometimes resulting in thick, leathery skin from excessive scratching. Keep your skin moisturized to minimize irritation, and try not to scratch or rub whenever possible. Ask your doctor about medicines to relieve the itching.
If your symptoms become noticeably worse, or are not responding to lifestyle changes or prescribed treatment, notify your doctor.
