TORONTO -- There's a divide between how Bank of Montreal is characterizing its fourth-quarter results and the underwhelming reception they received from analysts and investors.
The Toronto-based bank said Tuesday growth in Canadian loans and its wealth-management division helped deliver a strong quarterly net income of $1.09 billion, which was about one per cent higher than a year earlier.
But several analysts say there is a different story beneath the headline.
"When you start digging into the numbers, it looked pretty disappointing to me," said Tom Lewandowski, an analyst with Edward Jones in St. Louis, who said BMO's results fell "well below" his expectations.
He pointed to weakness in the U.S. operations as one area that fell short.
Adjusted net income for the quarter fell two per cent from a year ago to $1.102 billion. That was well ahead of estimates but included a one-time $121-million gain one analyst said would put off investors.
BMO's overall adjusted earnings, including the one-time gain, amounted to $1.64 per share, down one cent from a year earlier but ahead of analyst estimates of $1.58 per share.
But Barclay's analyst John Aiken wrote the one-time gain was worth "roughly 19 cents per share and would take BMO's core number to $1.45, well below consensus."
Bank of Montreal shares were down $3.28 to close at $70.25 on the Toronto Stock Exchange. However, that's still up significantly from a year ago when BMO closed on Dec. 3, 2012, at $59.29.
The entire banking sector on the TSX, including BMO, is up about 20 per cent so far this year -- providing investors with an incentive to sell at least some of their shares to lock in profits.
Breaking down the results issued Tuesday, BMO's U.S. personal and commercial banking arm posted a 28 per cent decline in net income to US$103 million, while net income at its capital markets segment dropped 27 per cent to $229 million.
Net income from wealth-management services in the fourth quarter nearly doubled to $312 million, the bank said.
BMO quietly cut its staff count in the fourth quarter, cutting its workforce by the equivalent of nearly 1,000 positions.

A representative for Helberg confirms that the actor known for his role as Howard Wolowitz on the CBS sitcom is expecting a baby with actress wife Jocelyn Towne.
Baby news is coming from a cast member of "The Big Bang Theory". Simon Helberg, the actor known for his portrayal of aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz on the CBS sitcom, is expecting to welcome his first child with actress wife Jocelyn Towne in Spring, his representative has confirmed.
The Rabbi Scott of "A Serious Man" met Towne in his home town of Los Angeles, California. They tied the knot in 2007. In November 2011, the actor reportedly bought Charlie Sheen's Mediterranean-style home in the prominent Los Feliz neighborhood for $2.9 million.
Helberg has appeared in various films and TV series, including "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and "MADtv". His hit sitcom, "Big Bang Theory", is up for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series at the 18th Annual SAG Awards, which ceremony takes place at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, January 29.

Contests with heterogeneous agents
We study tournaments with many ex-ante asymmetric contestants, whose valuations for the prize are independently distributed. First, we characterize the equilibria in monotone strategies, second, we provide sufficient conditions for the equilibrium uniqueness and, finally, we reconcile the experimental evidence documenting the 'workaholic' behavior in contests with the related theory by introducing heterogeneity among participants. It is a 'weak' participant that might become a 'workaholic' in an equilibrium, that is, his effort density might crease at the highest valuation - weak, either because he is more risk averse or because his rivals consider that it is very unlikely that he has a high value for the prize. In contrast, effort densities are always decreasing in case of symmetry with identically distributed values for the prize and identical attitudes towards risk in case of CARA, as well as in contests with only two participants. Moreover, we show that for low valuations more risk averse agents are less likely to exert low effort than their 'strong' rivals, while those with dominated distribution of the prize valuation are more likely to do so. An explicit solution for the uniform distribution case with contestant-specific support is provided as well.

On November 17, 2011, the MLA President, Russell Berman, published a statement, Reforming Doctoral Programs: The Sooner, The Better [2]. He outlines how Doctoral programs in the Humanities can and should re-calibrate to best position their graduates for an evolving job market (i.e. outside of higher education). I didn't realize that Humanities PhD graduates hold twice as much debt as those who attain PhDs in the Sciences (because I wasn't depressed enough). He also talks about bridging the gap between the academic work we do and the public at large.
William Pannapacker, however, zeros in on perhaps the most interesting (and ultimately controversial) recommendations:
As I put in my comments, I worry about the lost generation(s) of academics, those of us who came up through traditional PhD programs and don't have either the support (institutional or otherwise) to develop these new digital skills. Roger Whitson, on his blog, makes a very similar recommendation to graduate students [3]. But, again, what about aspiring faculty who are no longer in graduate school, working on a contingent basis, often outside of their area of expertise, and just as often without any funding or support for professional development. I find it deeply ironic and disturbing that, as Pannapacker puts it, it will be those who are already on the tenure-track who will benefit from new professional development and other opportunities.
But there is still a great deal of resistance to this kind of "training" for graduate students (or even aspiring faculty). I had retweeted the MLA statement and got the following response:
We come up again this tension between "job training" and "academic pursuits." Why must these two elements be mutually exclusive? Why can't we start to admit (and then imagine) what the possibilities are for those of us who are interested in jobs off the tenure-track? Or, that perhaps the direction of scholarship isn't just about traditional book/article/conference presentation anymore? And that that isn't a bad thing? Oh, wait, we already [4] are [5].
Here's what I tweeted in response:
With the Occupy MLA "movement" [6] (ok, Twitter account [7]), as well as other occupy movements within higher education [8], there is clearly a growing dissatisfaction (understatement) with the current direction of higher education, and not just from the perspective of the students. I hope that the "lost generation" of PhDs can get together and occupy higher education but also have the opportunity to take advantage of the changing landscape.

Pelger Receives AVCA All-America Honorable Mention
Pelger Receives AVCA All-America Honorable Mention
Dec. 12, 2012
AVCA All-America Teams
MANHATTAN, Kan. – After putting together another impressive season at middle blocker for the K-State Wildcats, Kaitlynn Pelger was named an honorable mention recipient to the AVCA All-America Team. The junior from Olathe, posted 361 kills on a .317 hitting percentage, 91 blocks and 273 digs as one of only four middle blockers in the country to play all six rotations.
Pelger becomes the first player in school history to receive AVCA Honorable Mention in consecutive years. The two previous players to receive honorable mention were Vali Hejjas in 2004 and Gabby Guerre in 2003. The Wildcats have also had three players named to one of the three All-America teams by the AVCA with Nataly Korobkova earning third team honors in 2007 and 2008. Liz Wegner received All-America Honorable Mention from Volleyball Magazine in 2000 and 2001 and Dawn Cady did so as well in 1999.
Playing all six rotations allowed Pelger to tally nine double-doubles on the year, with eight of them by way of kills and digs. Her other double-double came in a sweep over Missouri State when she pounded out 11 kills and had 10 blocks. Pelger and her teammates finished the year 21-9 and went to the NCAA Tournament for the 14th time in school history and ninth in head coach Suzie Fritz's 12 years leading the program.
Pelger was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 Conference First Team this season and twice was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. She also earned CVU.com National Performer of the Week after helping the team to three wins while hosting the Varney's Invitational.
During the season, Pelger was named to the all-tournament team at all three nonconference tournaments the Wildcats played in. She earned tournament MVP at the Bluejay Invitational where K-State swept Denver, Syracuse and eventual Missouri Valley champion, Creighton.
Pelger received MVP honors at the Golden Hurricane Classic where K-State tallied wins over three teams that would make the NCAA Tournament and post the best start in school history at 12-0. The Wildcats swept host Tulsa to open the tournament and followed with a win over then-ranked No. 10 Minnesota in five sets. K-State responded with a sweep over No. 20 Dayton and Pelger would be named AVCA National Player of the Week for her efforts.
The Big 12 Conference was again well-represented on the AVCA All-America Teams. Six players from the league were named to the first, second or third team. Three more players joined Pelger as honorable mention. A total of 10 players K-State played this season made one of the three teams and 10 others were named honorable mention.

A British schoolgirl who died after taking two ecstasy tablets at a house party had begged friends not to call an ambulance because she was worried about getting into trouble, an inquest heard on Wednesday.
Isobel Reilly, 15, was one of four friends who had taken pink ecstasy tablets they found in academic Brian Dodgeon's bedroom closet while he was away.
The teenager later collapsed in a fit and began foaming at the mouth.
But despite falling ill, she pleaded with her friends not to call an ambulance because she had already been in trouble at school for taking drugs, it was said.
When she fell unconscious and stopped breathing, friends finally called an ambulance to the house in north Kensington, London, the inquest heard.
But when paramedics arrived they were unable to revive her. Isobel, known as Issy, was pronounced dead in hospital several hours later.
A post-mortem examination revealed she had an "extremely high" level of ecstasy in her body of 9.96mg per kg. Pathologist Dr Peter Wilkins said a dose of 0.18mg per kg could be fatal.
On the opening day of her inquest at Westminster Coroner's Court, Isobel's mother Lynne Jones spoke of her shock at discovering that the house party was unsupervised. "I realise now that I was naive," she said. "I never asked if adults were going to be there.
"I just can't understand why people would leave children unsupervised. This is what feels so painful for us. We've gone over and over it since Issy died.
"We know young people put themselves in risky situations, particularly if there are no adults around and if they know no adults are coming back.
"I think it is pretty obvious so many things could have gone wrong and I'm not even thinking about drugs, but young people bringing in alcohol, older kids finding out and breaking into the house, and accidents happening.
"We are now talking about a situation where it was all night, not even parents going out for a few hours. I don't think, at that age, it is safe to leave young children unsupervised."
Around 30 teenagers, aged 14 and 15, were invited to the party in April last year. At 1am, when half of them had left, some of those remaining went in search of Mr Dodgeon's supply of cannabis which they thought was in the house.
One boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, reached into a cupboard in Mr Dodgeon's bedroom and pulled out a canister.
Instead of cannabis he discovered "numerous bags of pills and powder" inside.
He told the inquest: "Issy took one of the pills out of the bag and was looking at it. People were discussing taking them. I was against it as we didn't know what they were." Issy washed down one of the pills with beer and later told a friend that she had taken another one.
At first she seemed fine, but later became sweaty and kept pacing around in circles, it was said.
"Around 3am she was breathing heavily," the friend added. "She was quite panicky. Her jaw was moving as well. I looked it up on the internet and thought it must be ecstasy. She started to get really hot and sweaty and went upstairs to lie down. We said should we call an ambulance but Issy said no."
Mr Dodgeon, 61, later admitted the drugs in the closet, which included ecstasy, LSD and the horse tranquilliser ketamine, were his. He was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years last December. Unable to live with the guilt he tried to commit suicide by jumping off a flyover a week after Issy's death but survived, breaking both his legs.
Mr Dodgeon was a research fellow at the internationally renowned Centre for Longitudinal Studies, part of the University of London's Institute of Education.
The inquest continues. - Daily Mail

Mike Kane's decision to take the knife to
The nation's biggest building materials group is cutting back on staff where it needs to.
Boral is top-heavy on an administrative overhead and management level where there has been a lot of duplication and inefficiency in a highly cyclical business.
That is where most of the 700 job cuts announced this morning are coming from.
Chief executive Kane wants to keep the people who actually manufacture the products as well as Boral's sales teams. The challenge is to make the company more efficient without eroding the quality of its products and service or increasing the cost of its products.
Analysts say Boral has 3000 employees who don't actually manufacture, distribute or sell products and bemoan the fact there have been little cost reductions in the past few years.
Kane's arrival in October followed a period of huge instability at the company after former chief Mark Selway lost the support of the board. The cuts today mean more upheaval for Boral but are necessary to help turn the company around.
Boral's share price has risen more than 40 per cent over the last six months on expectations of a leaner cost base but also as US conditions have begun to improve.
Kane announced this morning there would be 700 redundancies in Australia, mainly at the management level. There will also be 300 jobs taken out of Boral's workforce from rationalisation measures such as plant closures and outsourcing.
The reductions cut Boral's global workforce to 13,700 from 14,700. There will be a total of 2,420 job reductions in fiscal 2013 at Boral following the sale of assets in Thailand and elsewhere.
The savings are in line with analysts' expectations.
CLSA was predicting cost savings of more than $100 million over the next three years, revising that number up from earlier estimates of $60 million.
The company estimates savings of $37 million this fiscal year, with a one-off restructuring cost of $60 million in financial 2013. Another $15 million will come from shutting down some manufacturing operations, with the end-target $90 million a year.
The market is still awaiting more details of an expected strategy review by Kane, who decided to get the job cuts announcement out of the way today before the company's half-year results in February.
Because the changes were material he also felt obligated to disclose the cuts under ASX disclosure obligations.
Kane, a New Yorker relocated to Australia when he started in the job in October, has a strong track record of innovation in the United States and is expected to look at things like alternative building materials at Boral. He spent the last two years repositioning Boral's US business to take advantage of a recovery in the market there. He held senior roles with companies such as Pioneer, Hanson Building Materials and Holcim.
The cuts also mean some long-serving senior managers will also be leaving, including cement boss Mike Beardsell who was passed over for the top job in favour of Kane. Kane says there were no "sacred cows" as part of his management review. Murray Read, another CEO candidate, remains on board.

Renovated Gross Hall officially renamed at dedication ceremony
The former Gross Chemistry building was officially renamed the Gross Hall for Interdisciplinary Innovation at a dedication ceremony Thursday.
Over $29 million worth of renovations within the building and on its exterior began in 2012 to allow other departments to move into the space. Formerly home to the chemistry department, the building now houses the political science department. Some space is also allocated to Social Science Research Initiative, the Information Initiative at Duke and the Pratt School of Engineering.
President Richard Brodhead, Executive Vice President Tallman Trask and Provost Peter Lange began the ceremony with a few remarks, often poking fun at the form "modern gothic" architecture, which, in the words of Brodhead, seemed to "let nothing in and nothing out." Brodhead added that previously, the lack of natural lighting in the building and fort-like concrete walls painted an austere portrait—a building far more focused on function than aesthetics. Considered novel when it was built, the building has always seemed to have a less appealing look than the traditional architecture on Duke's west campus.
The newly renovated spaces offer a more open atmosphere than previously. The team rooms, which have glass walls, encourage outsiders to join in on conversations. All in all, while more conducive to group efforts, the new Gross Hall maintains a homey feeling of comfort with its mixture of woods, oranges and blues.
"The event was such a great success with lots of participation from students, faculty and researchers," wrote Communications Director for SSRI Courtney Orning in an email Thursday. "The open house allowed us to showcase our facilities, help promote Bass Connections projects and chat with researchers about possible collaborations. Connecting, collaborating and creating [are] what SSRI is all about."
Kelly Brownell, dean of the Sanford School of Public Policy, discussed the necessity of focusing on scholarship to allow for positive change in social norms and the crafting of informed public policy, referencing the interdisciplinary nature of the building.
Both Bass Connections and SSRI-West embody the building's focus on an interdisciplinary approach and were present at the dedication.
"My hope is that students will see the power of their disciplinary training—leveraged with disciplinary strength of others—as teams set out to solve problems that require multiple types of expertise," wrote Thomas Nechyba, director of the SSRI as well as Bass Connections in Education and Human Development and professor of economics and public policy. "If we succeed in that, I think we prepare students for the challenges they will face in whatever path they choose.
SSRI-West, located next to the political science department on the second floor, is the complement to SSRI-East and offers resources, from access to web designs to help with statistical analysis. SSRI-West features was designed to be reminiscent of a lounge in order to promote group work.
"It was an awesome event," said Heather Tipalos, administrative director of the Duke Population Research Institute at SSRI. "We have a couple people interested, so it was productive."

Smorgasburg & Saveur's "Sites We Love"
Ok, I admit it. It's absolutely amazing living in New York City and being surrounded by the food scene here. During the Summer months it's literally endless the amount of open aired markets and food fairs that go on. Smorgasburg named after the Scandinavian Smörgåsbord meaning a feast or buffet. Being all cute they added the burg since it's placed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I have been meaning to stop by the Smorgasburg since it opened up over a month ago. Since I always work on Saturdays I missed it, I frequently visit Brooklyn Flea on Sundays which takes place in the exact same waterfront location. They also have some of the same food vendors but with a wide variety of other things like antiques etc.
Today I was lucky enough to go for a visit. I met up with my friend Kimberly of The Year in Food who was here for a quick visit from SF. We strolled around this outdoor food market for a good hour eating everything from raw oysters, to baha fish tacos, to grilled corn with cilantro lime butter, a little blue bottle coffee and some of my new favorite shaved ice from people's pops. A must see if you are in the city and want to do something fun on a Saturday, did I mention there is a new East River Ferry? Takes you right to it :) Brooklyn rocks
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Saveur gave me "Sites We Love" read the full interview here. Happy face :)

By Nam LePosted Mar 9, 2013If by BearInsider Staff or Contributor, this article is Copyright © 2017 BearInsider.com
Throughout most of spring practice, the three main candidates for Bear Raid commander – Jared Goff, Zach Kline and Austin Hinder – have been relatively close together in terms of performance. That changed at the scrimmage, when Jared Goff was clearly the best on the day.
The true freshman looked quite poised, completing all the throws that should have been made, and taking chances only when they needed to be taken – there was nothing resembling unnecessary risk when he had the ball in his hands, and the offense moved efficiently under his command. Goff was also the only quarterback to lead multiple scoring drives today.
Zach Kline provided the day's biggest highlight with a 98 yard touchdown pass to Joel Willis, but had subsequent drives cut short by a sack and a fumble. Hinder showed more of his mobility today than at any other practice, taking a few designed runs himself and completing a few nice throws out of pocket. However, like Kline, Hinder also saw his next few drives hampered by penalties and sacks, which put him in difficult to convert third and long situations – the kind that Goff was able to avoid all afternoon.
Though each had their moments, Jared Goff was clearly more productive than the others on Saturday.
An unofficial drive summary of their respective times under center
Goff – Touchdown pass to Bryce Treggs, punt, 3-and-out, Jonah Hodges touchdown run, touchdown pass to Bryce Treggs
Kline – Touchdown pass to Joel Willis, Darren Ervin fumble, 3-and out, punt,
Hinder – Touchdown pass to Maurice Harris, 3-and out, 3-and out, 3-and out
Depth Chart:
The first team offense for the scrimmage today consisted of Bryce Treggs, Kenny Lawler, Chris Harper, Jackson Bouza, with Freddie Tagaloa, Jordan Rigsbee, Matt Cochran, Alejandro Crostwaithe, and Bill Tyndall rounding out the offensive line. Jared Goff joined them, although all three quarterbacks rotated in regularly.
The first team defense remained the same as it has for the past few practices, with Kam Jackson and Stefan McClure at cornerback, Michael Lowe and Avery Sebastian at safety, Nick Forbes, Jalen Jefferson and Khairi Fortt at linebacker, and Dan Camporeale, Kyle Kragen, Mustafa Jalil and Deandre Coleman rounding out the defensive line. Todd Barr, who normally rotates in with this unit, was not available today.
The second team offensive line was the same as it has been in recent practices, with Brian Farley at left tackle, Steven Moore at left guard, Mark Brazinski at center, Geoffrey Gibson at right guard, and Christian Okafor at right tackle.
Scrimmage Notes:
The scrimmage ended with five scores for the offense, and roughly that many stops for the defense. Michael Barton was simply everywhere during the scrimmage, showing off great instincts and a nose for the football all afternoon. He was also part of a group of Bears who forced a fumble by Darren Ervin. Nathan Broussard was another active participant, snuffing out several runs on his own, and looked better Saturday than he did for most of last season.
On the defensive line, Kyle Kragen and Mustafa Jalil continued to be terrors, tallying a couple of sacks between them. Jalil in particular was a force against the run, and looks back to full strength after a knee injury last season.
The defensive backs did not have their best day, but Stefan McClure did seem to hold up well in coverage, and recorded a near interception of an Austin Hinder pass toward the end of the day. He had to settle for a pass defensed instead.
Avery Sebastian also had one highlight reel play today, lighting up Darren Ervin on a run to the right side, and drawing a crowd-full of oohs while doing so.
Being the recipient of two touchdowns, Bryce Treggs was the top performer at wide receivers Saturday, but Bryce McGovern was another strong performer, working very well in space and leading the team in receptions on the day. The Bear Raid's slants, screens, drags and outs are a great fit for his solid hands and shiftiness.
There were a significant number of off sides and false starts from both lines today.
Other Things:
Puka Lopa and Mustafa Jalil were not in limited contact jerseys, but were not major participants in Saturday's scrimmage either. Joining the known injured players like Daniel Lasco and Richard Rodgers were Jordan Morgan, David Wilkerson and Alex Logan, who did not practice today.
The team continues to tinker with its nickel look in 7-on-7s, primarily using Stefan McClure in the slot and Isaac Lapite across from Kam Jackson. Though substitutions were fast and furious in this period, they also practiced briefly in a nickel package where Michael Lowe took the place of McClure.
In addition to the above, a brand new formation was unveiled at the scrimmage, where Austin Hinder lined up in a pistol set with three receivers to the right. Although this look was only shown with Austin Hinder, no conclusions can yet b e drawn about its use - but something worth noting and keeping an eye on moving forward.
As many predicted, the running game remains a work in progress. Whether it was Darren Ervin or Jeffrey Coprich or Jonah Hodges, no back found much success on the ground today.

Very different experiences.
If anything, one could argue movie viewing is moving closer to book reading with the increasing popularity of home movie viewing. At home you don't have to deal with the bored kids chattering behind you (or you *can* deal, if they do it) plus you have control: as in pause, rewind, fast-forward.
A couple hours is a long time to really pay attention. A movie is very linear, it's here one minute, then it's gone. You don't get time to mull over what you saw, and if weren't paying attention, you might miss key moments.
Home video does let you pause and go back, so you do have more control, but it is clumsy compared to going back and checking something in a book.

Deputies Respond To Licking Valley Buildings After Report Of Threat
Deputies were called to Licking Valley School District buildings Wednesday after a report of a threat was received.
School district employees notified the Licking County Sheriff's Office that a student reported the possible threat to school administrators.
According to the Licking County Sheriff's Department, the alleged email threat was reported by a student. Deputies said that the threat was described as something to the extent of what happened in Newtown, Conn.
The student alleged that the threat was made Tuesday night.
Amber Sykes' said that she had no idea what was going on at her 7-year-old daughter's school.
"I sent my child to school today, and I had no idea that anything was even going on, so I was kind of concerned on what kind of threats were being made," Skyes said.
In response to the alleged threat, the Licking County Sheriff's Office assigned a deputy to patrol all district buildings on Wednesday. An alert also was sent to all parents in the district.
District officials said that they ensured all buildings were secured and that there was no evidence of a true threat to the district.
"I have been in the high school, and you have to be buzzed through the door, and at the elementary school, you have to be buzzed through, so they're safe," said parent Valerie Pennybaker.
Sheriff's officials said that the person accused of making the threat turned over his computer to authorities for further investigation.
Parents said that they were pleased the district was taking the alleged threat seriously.
"Because anymore, people are just going crazy," Sykes said.

Girl Talk: Am I Meant To Be A Mother Or An Aunt?
This Thanksgiving, I arrived at my aunt and uncle's house to see my 7-year-old nephew in the backyard pulling a plastic toy bow-and-arrow about 2 feet away from my 5-year-old niece's face. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I barked before I even said "hello." I pushed the plastic arrow so it was away from her face and aiming towards the ground.
"We're playing with my bow-and-arrow!" My nephew told me, defensively.
"Yeah!" My niece said, still young enough to be adorably oblivious to how close she was to becoming a Cyclops.
"You don't hold a bow-and-arrow so close to someone's face!" I snapped. "She could lose an eyeball that way. Aim it towards the ground!" I stomped off, shooting a dirty look at my brothers-in-law who were standing nearby but perhaps not paying close enough attention to their kids.
Hours later we were all on the living room floor playing a rousing game of sea life-themed Go Fish. The 5-year-old sat in my lap while we played together as a team. Then her 3-year-old sister, this adorable little blond peanut of a girl, wanted to sit on my lap, too. There's something about snuggling a little kid — especially one with a lisp, who pronounces "crab" as "cwab" — that can make a woman's ovaries go completely bonkers.
There's no question that cute little kids give me a bad case of the I-want-babies-NOW. I felt it occasionally before, but it became sharply acute once I met my boyfriend. One of the ways I could tell I was falling in love with David, in fact, was when I was sitting in his apartment and had a vision of a little Asian baby toddling across his hardwood floors. These days I go bananas when I see little kids, especially chubby babies, rolled around in strollers or carried in Baby Bjorns.
It's not so simple, though: the lack of ambivalence does not mean the presence of certainty. Yesterday I was listening to Dolly Parton's interview on "Larry King Live," which I put as an item in "Today's Lady News" because she talks about gay bullying, and towards the end of the interview was an interesting tidbit where Larry King asked Dolly if she regrets not having any kids:
"No, this day and time I regret it even less. I used to think I wanted children, but I don't have children now. I tell you, looking at the world the way it is now, it's like I'm almost glad I don't. I worry enough about my brothers and sisters and my nieces and nephews … I make a perfect aunt. I get a chance to keep them, take them to Dollywood, they love them, or take them to one of our Dixie Stampede Dinner Theaters. … I make a better aunt than I would a mother, I think."
That last thing Dolly said stuck out to me: "I make a better aunt than I would a mother, I think." I know I'm a pretty good aunt and I also know being a good aunt is not the same thing as being a good mother. How do you know, Dolly? I wondered. How do you know if you're meant to be an aunt or a mother?
An aunt plays a few rounds of Go Fish until she decides to refill her wine class and cut a slice of pecan pie. When she comes to babysit, the kids get to order pizza and watch a movie. She takes them to a Broadway show. She buys them the Christmas gifts their mom and dad refuse to get. She's the one you first tell that you recently lost your virginity (that would be my aunt). But she's also just an aunt, who shows up every once and a while and then goes home — maybe to her own family, but maybe to a house that's absent of children's joy on Christmas Eve and Halloween.
A mother changes diapers. She wakes up at 1:13 a.m. when the baby is wailing from her crib. She gets Cheerios ground into the bottom of her purse. She's the one who rushes to the ER on Thanksgiving Day when the kid gets a plastic arrow in the kisser. But she's also the one who rocks the baby to sleep each night. She gets to smell that new baby smell constantly. She picks out cute little kid Halloween costumes and takes cute little kid photos.
Both being a mother and being just an aunt appeal to me. Yet, while I have these intense maternal instincts sometimes — not just from seeing babies in public, but strange warm feelings that bubble up inside me when I hold a baby — I can also easily envision a happy life without kids. I think I could be very pleased with being able to vacation whenever I want, spend money eating out all the time, and not have to throw my clothes and furniture away because they're covered with baby burp-up messes and Magic Marker. My boyfriend would prefer to have children, but said he would be able to live with it if we do not. He is a big foodie, as well as a big traveler; I think he would be really pleased, too, if our lives were just about us. (Generally, he's the one in the relationship who enjoys spending more money than I do.) Figuring out whether you want to make that commitment to the selflessness that is required to be a parent is a major life decision. As a friend once told me, before breaking up with his girlfriend who refused to have his child, "You can't have half a baby."
There are times I think I would be a great mother. There are other times when the selflessness and self-sacrificing involved don't at all appeal to me. I'm not sure I really want to commit to buying someone's orthodontia instead of ever seeing South Africa. Fortunately, I am only 26, so the pressure isn't on yet. I may have a few more trips to the Dixie Stampede Dinner Theater (whatever that is) before we have to decide.

Stress and IBD
I was trying to think about what to write about this week, and just trying to find time to sit down and think was not an easy feat. I am waiting to hear about the manuscript I submitted for publication, getting things together for a meeting with my dissertation committee next week, and then there are holiday parties and shopping left to do. When I look at my "to do" lists, the sheer volume of things to accomplish stresses me out. A lot of people think that stress itself contributes to the development of IBD, but is there really a link between the two?
The answer is that stress alone does not cause a flare. This surprised me since most of my flares in the past have been during relatively stressful times in my life. A couple of studies have been done on the relationship between patients' symptoms and stress levels. A few studies found that stressful life-changing events do not affect the onset of IBD symptoms, indicating that high stress situations don't make you more likely to have a flare whether it is at the time of diagnosis or during remission. Another study found that while short-term stress has no effect on symptoms, long-term stress could affect a patient's symptoms for a period of months to years.
This makes sense because it's not stress itself that makes you sick, but instead that you tend not to take as good care of yourself when you are stressed. When stressed, you sleep less, don't eat as well, don't exercise, and stop doing things that relieve stress because you don't think you have the time and should be working instead. In fact, it has been shown that your immune system functions better when you are well-rested. Along these lines, the World Health Organization will soon list working the graveyard shift as a potential carcinogen because of lack of sleep and the change in a person's light/dark cycles.
My last (and worse) flare happened while I was finishing college and applying to grad school. The application process and other stressful events during my senior year left me exhausted to the point that I became unmotivated to go grocery shopping or go out to eat when I was by myself. Seven months and a couple surgeries later, I realized that I had learned the hard way that if something is completely out of my control – it's not worth getting stressed out about. Not only has this helped me take better care of myself over the last few years, but also it is easier to enjoy life when you realize what is really important.

This lipstick is phenomenal - the perfect mix of plum/pink/brown for my fair skin. It is honestly the HG lipstick shade I have been looking for forever! Not only is the colour wonderful, but the texture is light/gel like and very moisturizing. Upon application, there is a slight shimmer to the colour, which wears off after a while. However, the colour pigment remains on the lips, so frequent application is not required.
Another hit for Lise Watier!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/9/2010 (2522 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Vicky BAZE rode Southern Alliance to victory in the seventh race to make history Sunday afternoon at Assiniboia Downs.
Almost immediately afterward, she and her jockey husband Gary jumped into their motorhome and rode off into the sunset for Phoenix and Turf Paradise, where they'll continue racing throughout the winter.
Finishing the season with 71 victories, Baze became the first woman in the 52-year history of the Downs to capture the leading jockey title, wresting it from Janine Stianson, who was second with 67 wins and Larren Delorme, who had 66.
Heading into Sunday's final day of action, Baze led the standings with 69, Stianson had 67 and Delorme had 66.
Delorme, who had lost ground due to a six-day suspension earlier this fall, had mounted a challenge Saturday when he rode three winners, drawing him within three wins of Baze. Early Sunday he picked up a pair of wins, on Furious George in the second and Lord Showa in the third, as he continued his late charge. But the well ran dry.
Baze picked up a win on Ecton's Gem in the fifth and Southern Alliance carried her to her title in the seventh.
No Replay took second and Caleb Boy finished third.
Oddly enough, Stianson, who battled Baze neck-and-neck throughout the season, was shut out of the winner's circle yesterday.
Baze, who maintained from the start that winning the title was not as important to her as everyone having a good season and staying healthy, was true to form in the winner's circle. "Actually I was hoping that we'd all tie, and all three of us would be standing here with this big old horse trophy. I think it was really great to have everybody in the hunt the whole way."
When she and Gary came on the scene in the spring of 2009, her Washington Hall of Fame husband was the main attraction, even though she had garnered her share of jockey titles (four in Washington State), and was listed as one of the top five female jockeys in North America.
Unable to ride due to a foreign jockey quota, she didn't actually race until late in the season that year, when Gary dropped out due to injury. Regardless, she managed to win 39 races and finish sixth.
This year, with a full season of races under her belt and the jockey title under her arm, Baze seemed a little sad to be leaving. "Frankly I feel very blessed," she said. "Everybody made me feel at home here. I thank the fans who stuck with us all summer, were very involved and just cheered us on."
The race for leading trainer was nowhere near as tight as the jockey derby. Tom Gardipy Jr., who picked up three wins Sunday with In The Other (Tyrone Nelson), Lord Showa (Delorme) and Rage Till Dawn (Nelson), finished with 48 wins to successfully defend the title he shared with Carl Anderson last year. Anderson, who missed 15 days due to a suspension earlier this month, fell behind and never caught up. He finished second with 36 wins while Ardell Sayler was third with 31.
Baze had hoped to take October off, but she's back in the saddle on Friday at Turf Paradise.
"Yeah, it looks like I'm not going to get any time off from racing. I ride opening day on Friday, so I'll be driving 2,200 miles and have just enough time to go to the jocks room and saddle up," she said.
"They race five days a week all winter long with a six-day week thrown in once a month. I know it sounds like a lot of riding, but it will be nice to be back in our little home again."
Overall it was a good year for the Downs as well. On-track wagering went up by six per cent on a race-to-race basis with last year. And, combined with bets from fans in other parts of North America, wagering declined only slightly, by .04 per cent. The total amount wagered was $8.9 million. Overall, there was a 7.8 per cent decline in wagering in the U.S. over the past year.
Track director of operations Darren Dunn said the reason the Downs is bucking industry trends is, "highly competitive racing thanks to good-quality horses and a trainer and jockey colony with exceptional depth." He also credited "innovative promotions."

Inside Cédric Klapisch's city of a million stories
Despite the tragic dimension, Paris, the latest film by Cédric Klapisch, is more comedy than drama. The light and urbane wit is reminiscent of When the Cat's Away and other bright, upbeat, conversational films by the French director. Aside from the obvious asset of the city itself, Paris boasts a likable cast headed by Juliette Binoche as Pierre's sister Elise. She is a 40-year-old social worker fretting that her looks, and her life, are through, even though she still turns heads while bounding along the streets. It's left to Pierre to be the optimist: "Give chance a chance," he insists. "Your life's not over."
Well, gloom is easily dispelled in the City of Light. Pierre and Elise are just two strands in a web of intersecting plotlines in a movie whose main character is Paris itself, with the metropolis serving as a microcosm of humanity. The problem Klapisch never solves is how to maintain sufficient interest in—and understanding of—the plethora of people he introduces. Like many ambitious movies with too many main characters, jotting down a running who's who list is helpful for keeping track. Some story lines are left undernourished and underdeveloped.
Among the most interesting characters is the history professor Roland (Fabrice Luchini). Worried about remaining relevant, he reluctantly agrees to host a glib television series on Paris, which allows him to wander among actors playing figures from the city's past. And while lecturing at the Sorbonne, Roland's eyes fall upon an enchanting young student. His old heart starts beating in the lusty rhythm of amour. The character of the professor cleverly embodies the creative tension between old and new in Paris, a richly historic city unafraid to embrace the postmodern world.
Opens Dec. 11 at the Downer Theatre.

Recipients named for $500,000 'zero waste' fund
Media release
18 July 2013
Recipients named for $500,000 'zero waste' fund
A project to divert 20,000 tonnes of food waste from landfill every year has funding from a new Auckland Council grant scheme supporting 'zero waste'.
Eco Stock Ltd, based in Wiri, was awarded $50,000 from the first ever round of Auckland Council's Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund, with a $500,000 pool for projects.
The grant was the highest awarded, and will go to equipment that converts food waste into stock feed.
"Eco Stock diverts around 42,000 tonnes of food waste from landfill every year," says Councillor Noelene Raffills, who led the hearing process for the council's Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP), adopted in 2012.
"The purchase of this plant will help the business increase its contribution to waste minimisation in a significant way."
A total of 47 businesses, community groups, iwi/Maori organisations and educational institutions were successful in the April funding round.
Among the successful applicants was the Project Litefoot Trust, awarded $35,700 to help implement a waste minimisation programme in community sports clubs throughout the region.
A study into a recycling network in the business precinct of East Tamaki, and an initiative to have waste minimisation systems on marae each received around $10,000.
A number of applications responded to one of the actions of the WMMP, which is to develop a resource recovery network in the region.
"This fund gives opportunities for people to make something of their great ideas, and help our region reach our aspiration of 'zero waste'."
The fund is one of the first actions to emerge from the WMMP.
The fund is provided from the Waste Levy, administered by the Ministry for the Environment. Recipients need to show they have resources to meet at least half of the cost of the funding requested.
The $500,000 fund for 2013/14 will be disbursed through funding rounds in October and April.

Below you will find links to a few reviews of this film, and some juicy excerpts from those reviews, but you should probably start your decision process (as in, "do I see this in theaters? Ever?") by watching the smallest of clips below:
"Don't Eat the Candy"
It should be noted that not many critics actually even bothered watching this film compared to other movies, but the critics who did have little love for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. There are a couple of zeros, which is rare, but also a couple above average reviews. Let us know what you thought of the film in the comments section below.
Loved It
To my knowledge, no critics loved this film.
Thought It Was Okay
Joshua Starnes - ComingSoon.Net
Score: 6 out of 10
Excerpt: Director Tommy Wirkola refuses to pull any punches for our PG-13 adjusted eyes and it is very welcome. Yeah, it's not as clever as it could be and you'll probably never have the urge to watch "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" again, but you won't feel like you've wasted your time either.
Sean O'Connell - CinemaBlend.Com
Score: 2.5 out of 5 stars
Excerpt: The movie's often mean and nasty, but that's really its saving grace. "That was awesome," screams a young Hansel and Gretel groupie after a grisly kill, and you might agree, of that's your thing.
JimmyO - JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Score: 5 out of 10
Excerpt: And even the 3D is really good as body parts and arrows shoot out into the audience, just as they should in a proper B-horror flick. Audiences will probably have fun as this lightweight and empty story plays out even if they will forget about it once the credits role.
Hated It
Elizabeth Weitzman - New York Daily News
Score: 2 out of 5 stars
Excerpt: There are some funny lines, and several cool battle scenes between the hunters and their black-magic prey. But even in 3D, the effects fall flat as often as they impress, with little attention paid to important details.
Peter Howell - Toronto Star
Score: 1.5 out of 4 stars
Excerpt: The film isn't funny enough for comedy or scary enough for horror, and the anachronisms are ludicrous. The story is set in a medieval European village, but Hansel packs a machine gun and also takes insulin jabs for the sugar addiction forced upon him by an evil witch.
Lou Lumenick - New York Post
Score: 0 out of 4 stars
Excerpt: Nothing makes a whole lot of sense in this incoherent movie, whose director's philosophy seems to be: When in doubt, cut somebody's head off. Famke Janssen, who wears some ghastly makeup, is on record as saying she did "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'' to pay off her mortgage.
Roger Moore - Movie Nation
Score: 1.5 out of 4 stars
Excerpt: The movie doesn't really work. They were shooting for sort of a witch hunting "Zombieland," an f-bomb riddled "Van Helsing" packed with comical anachronisms – a Bavarian forest past with witch trials, pump shotguns and primitive tasers, where bottles of milk have woodcut pictures of "Missing Children" on the labels.
Matt Singer - Screen Crush
Score: 3 out of 10
Excerpt: Look closely at 'Hansel & Gretel' and you'll see faint traces of what could have been (and perhaps once was) a clever satire. Hansel requires daily injections for "sugar sickness" (i.e. diabetes) because of all the candy the witch force fed him.
Calum Marsh - Slant Magazine
Score: 0 out of 4 stars
Excerpt: But the once-vital sense of transgression associated with this kind of B-movie exploitation has dissipated to the point of nonexistence, its practices so thoroughly and unabashedly co-opted by Hollywood that even a hard-R horror flick is reduced to a bland amalgamation of tired clichés.
Eric Melin - Scene-Stealers.com
Score: 1.5 out of 4 stars
Excerpt: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters exists in the uncomfortable middle ground somewhere between a formulaic mainstream action movie and a subversive horror comedy and ends up being neither. There's all manner of exploding heads and dismembered body parts, but with nothing invested and a severe lack of personality, it's not that much fun. The best thing about Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is that, at 88 minutes, it's mercifully short.
