A COUPLE living at St John's Winchester Charity Almshouses recently celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary.
Staff at Southgate Street's Devenish House Care Home, where they live, gave them roses and a celebratory lunch to mark the considerable milestone.
For incoming charity director Clive Cook, this sums up everything that is important about his new role – giving the elderly who cannot afford somewhere to live a happy and dignified retirement.
It's a job St John's has been discharging for over 1,000 years, after being founded around 931 following a bequest by the then Bishop of Winchester.
Before joining the cause in the mid-December, Clive was a partner at Baker and McKenzie, the world's second largest law firm.
He lived in Singapore for three years, managing three Asia offices, but also spent stints in Hong Kong, New York and Budapest.
Now the 54-year-old Mancunian has decided to return to work in this country and see much more of his wife and four children.
While he has done voluntary work for the Samaritans and Crisis at Christmas in the past, this is his first full-time role in the charity sector.
Tall, immaculately dressed, the Cambridge graduate explains how the cultural leap from global law firm to one of Britain's oldest charitable institutions was not actually as large as you might imagine.
"Both jobs are about people and delivering a high quality of service," he says.
"And I've always wanted to do something in the voluntary sector."
St John's has four historic care home sites around the city, including a former medieval leper hospital in Colebrook Street.
The fourteenth century chapel in the Broadway and St John's House next door - which was initially a hospital – have also been owned by the charity since they were built.
Today St John's provides a home for one hundred and fifty elderly and employs 115 full and part-time staff.
The criteria for being eligible for housing is the same as it's been for the past 1,000 years, that the individual, or couple, are financially in need.
Some start out able to live quite independently in a flat, before changing to another St John's home, where they can receive more care.
Several still work though, with one resident in his mid-90s regularly volunteering for a Winchester dementia charity.
Clive Cook's arrival marks a significant gear-change for St John's, as the previous director Michael Jackson was there for 26 years.
A significant part of his job is to manage the charity's portfolio of commercial properties in central Winchester, which includes shops, offices and residential buildings, some of which are in the High Street.
Clive has no intention of bringing in immediate, wide-spread changes.
"I arrived to find a well-oiled machine of hugely professional people.
"One of the lessons I've learned from previous roles is that you really need to come in, absorb things and listen," he says.
He does in time, however, intend to establish a new, larger, community centre to act as a focal meeting point for residents.
He also wants St John's to be more involved in Winchester life, with public tours of the almshouses set to be established through the city's guides.
"Some people haven't heard of St John's at all, many don't know what we are about. But our history is so entwined with the history of Winchester," he said.
Most of all Clive is all too keenly aware of the responsibility of his new role.
"It's a privilege to do this and I love it," he concludes.

BLACKBURN town centre's hidden watercourse has been revealed in all its glory for the first time in more than half a century.
Construction work on the Cathedral Quarter has uncovered the normally culverted and roofed River Blakewater.
Most of its length through the Cathedral grounds and alongside the Boulevard is now visible.
The first part of the river was opened up in March and now the majority can be seen —but only for a few weeks as it is set to be covered over again next month.
The ambitious £28million Cathedral Quarter plan to transform the town centre includes strengthening of the concrete tunnels rebuilt during the town centre redevelopment of the 1960s.
The Victorian culvert through which the River Blakewater runs goes right under the town centre, with a small branch from the historic All Hallows Spring, behind the Adelphi pub, joining the main flow down from its source on the moors above Guide.
For just a few more weeks as experts from the Eric Wright Group repair and strengthen the walls and roof of the tunnel, visitors will be able to see the river for the first time since the height of the Industrial Revolution.
The maintenance is essential to take the weight of the new Cathedral Quarter development and lorries needed to build the hotel, offices and clergy court that will rise on the site.
The strengthening of the south end of the culvert roof will be complete in mid-June to enable access across to Dandy Walk for vehicles, allowing the next phase of to commence with the construction of the office building and Premier Inn at the beginning of July either side of the culverted river.
Ray Smith, chairman of Blackburn Local History Society, said: "For many people this offers a fascinating chance to see a bit of the town's past. When I was a youngster, kids used go under the culvert roof and run through to the other end. A lot of local people of a certain age will be very interested."
Blackburn with Darwen council regeneration director Brian Bailey said: "It is very exciting to see the different parts of the scheme coming to life. As well as uncovering parts of our town's history, the Cathedral Quarter development will play an important part of the future of town centre."

|To echo everyone else...this thing was WAY easy for the grade, especially compared to something like Lunatic Fringe in the Valley (another 10c thin crack).

The thin crux was tenuous but short. As of 6/30 there was a fixed nut at the crux within reach of 6 ft+ people.
The whole route can, and should, be done in 2 pitches with a 70m rope.

Actually it can be linked in two pitches with a 60m also. You are holding all the remaining slack in your hand when the leader finishes, so be careful if you have a shortened rope or expect to simul a couple feet.
Pitch one: After scrambling up to where the face steepens, build a belay. Lead up past the roof to the highest ledge with some shrubby trees on it, below the 5.8 fingers.
Pitch two: Do the rest of the route and stop at a ledge just below where the angle of the face kicks way back. Scramble to the top from here.

|The crux is definite .10c, but is very short and has good pro. Definitely give it a go! Fun route!
By Anthony Anagnostou

the potential problem with linking the upper two pitches is that with a lot of rope out you are going to get a lot of stretch in the rope if you blow the crux, and there's a big flat ledge right beneath you.
i agree with n.stayner's pitch beta, with a 60. the trick is, as he says, to climb up as far as you are comfortable before belaying the first pitch.

|The 10a hands section was more difficult and frightening to get out of than anything on the 10c crux. We did this in two full on 70 meter pitches. I was lucky enough to enjoy leading both of the hard parts.

Sweet stuff. We did it in three pitches, and I would do it again that way. The crux is right off a ledge - and although short - it is seemed stout in my opinion. With any rope stretch, you'd be guaranteed to hit the ledge. For P1, we belayed a little too low and had to simul climb about 25'.
The climbing is quite different between each pitch - P1 is delicate slabbing with pin scars, P2 is a sweet hand crack, and P3 is fingers with a bonus slab move.
Standard rack worked for us. Double set of cams + nuts.

|Really fun route with mostly good pro. The .10a crux on P2 isn't too bad, it's long reaches to good hand jams. I fell once at the 5.10b finger crack and can verify that the pro is good and the fall is clean. The scariest part for me was actually the 5.9 slab move after the crux on pitch 3. While it's not the hardest of moves, you'd hit the ledge if you fell off . . .

Worthy route.
As I stood below the crux pondering the moves above clad in a pair of full-length Levis [knee pads?], rugby shirt , wreath of 1" tubular webbing....and carrying a 30lb rack overflowing with biners , hexes , wireds , cams , figure eight etc....a climber suddenly appeared from below and politely asked if he could climb-through. Grateful for the delay and a chance to snatch the beta , I leaned my load to the right and watched as this man moved effortlessly towards the horizon....wearing only a pair of gym shorts , chalk bag , suntan , and a shock of blond hair.
Thank you JB.

|Offset nuts (DMM Walnuts + new DMM HB offsets) are the ticket on P1. They go into the pin scars perfectly.
By gregory huey

|Onsighted Sep-4-2010. The crux - though very short & easy to protect - seems 10c to me. It felt very tenuous - harder than Bombs Over Tokyo. My partner wanted to hike the day after Oz, but when he got back late afternoon Saturday I suggested we do a quick run up DNWF of Lembert. We linked the first two pitches, but did the last two separately - probably a good thing, as rope drag on the 10c finger crack crux, or the 5.9 slab at the top would not have been fun. I think we did the route in something like 2.5hrs. Not a record to be sure, but it fit in nicely at the end of a rest day.

Did the whole route in two pitches with a 70m rope. The crux pitch (2nd pitch) has two short and distinct cruxes, one short .10a lieback move and a few .10b moves in the finger crack above. Both cruxes finish with a move to a jug. One 5.9 psychological crux near the top of p2, an unprotected 5.9 slab move, a fall from here would result in hitting the ledge below. Can (sort of) be protected with a micro nut in a tiny crack.
No need for offset cams or nuts.

rating: 5.10a 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a
surprisingly easy for the grade. my wife lead the 10a pitch, and i actually thought that was about as difficult as the crux pitch. both 5.10 pitches are basically one move. the final slab part of the crux pitch was also surprisingly friendly, with good gear (although you sometimes couldn't see the next gear options from below). i was happy for this as '5.9 slab' has a "broad" interpretation/definition.
the first real pitch was quite long, a lot longer than i thought it would be. great pitch with sustained intricate climbing for the grade.
really fun route, i would probably do it again.

|2 Pitches w/ 60m is the way to go!
By Mike McL

Great route. 3 nice pitches of splitter cracks.
The 5.9 slab move near the top is a bit heads up. I found that a orange/red mastercam offset protects the move very well in a pin scar just to the right of the move. It takes the ledge fall potential out of the scenario. So if you've got one, it's worth bringing.
Offset nuts aren't mandatory, but they work great on the pinscars on P1. Same goes for offset cams.

|Good beta elsewhere on here. Just want to reiterate that the orange/red offset master cam protects the 5.9 slab very well. I was surprised how bomber the offset felt in that pin scar. If you don't have offsets, then at least know that the 5.9 slab move is much easier than any of the other 5.9 moves on the route.

Training in Disaster Response
The Board of Supervisors will adopt a resolution to recognize the Community Emergency Response Team program, known as CERT, on the occasion of its 10th anniversary.

The organization provides the instruction, assistance and guidance necessary to boat owners, operators and crews to ensure the safe operation of their crafts.
Tuberculosis Awareness Day
The Board of Supervisors will designate March 24 as Tuberculosis Awareness Day in Fairfax County. This year marks the 125th anniversary of the discovery of the organism that causes tuberculosis. In countries worldwide, this day is set aside to raise awareness of tuberculosis and its effects on public health. There are 2 billion people in the world infected with the TB organism, 8 million people develop the disease each year and every 20 seconds a person dies of the disease.
Through the Years
The Board of Supervisors will issue a proclamation to declare March as Women's History Month in Fairfax County.

Serving the Community for Half a Century
The Board of Supervisors will adopt a resolution to congratulate Fairfax Memorial Park and Funeral Home on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Milestones include the construction of an above-ground mausoleum in 1984 and a memorial dedicated to the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, some of whom are interred in the cemetery.
Choosing an Alternative
The Board of Supervisors will declare March as Alternative Dispute Resolution Month in Fairfax County. Residents of the commonwealth of Virginia and Fairfax County recognize that resolving conflict through mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution promotes mutually agreeable outcomes, preserves relationships and enhances collaborative efforts. Residents are urged to recognize the benefits of alternative dispute resolution programs and to acknowledge the valuable role of volunteers who offer their services to neighbors, students and peers in the workplace.
Gail Condrick Changes Her Channel
The Board of Supervisors will adopt a resolution to thank Gail Condrick for her years of service to Fairfax County and its residents. Condrick has served Fairfax County in the Department of Cable Communications and Consumer Protection for more than 24 years, commencing in 1983.

They are down about 44% year to date. A simple glance at activity over the past decade shows they have been on a binge buying out plenty of companies. They bought out compaq which bought out digital. They bought out palm which also bought out be.
The shocking thing is they announced they are not just discontinuing the phones (Pre's) but also the tablet...that just came out seven weeks ago (they just dropped the price from $500 to $400). I'm no consultant but I know a fair amount of the history of various products going back a few decades and I can't think of any major company that has discontinued a product after seven weeks.
HP has 300K employees world wide. Just a few months ago they stated they would expand in the bay area
I have never see a company outright quit so easily. Microsoft usually has dates when support is discontinued. Linux has distributions for when support will end...but to go seven weeks a a product that is supposed to compete is pretty sad.
Many of you are from the Bay Area. What have you heard about HP lately?

Actually this is the first shift I've been here since we've had it. I see that we have Fox Sports Midwest. But from as far as I can tell no channel specifically says Fox Sports Indiana. I have DirectTV at home and am unfamiliar with Comcast. Does anyone know if Comcast carries that channel? If so, what channel? Does Midwest switch over for a Pacer game? Hopefully its not in some special package that we don't have. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help. Go Pacers.

RATIONALE: The Epstein-Barr virus can cause cancer and lymphoproliferative disorders. Valganciclovir is an antiviral drug that acts against the Epstein-Barr virus. Phenylbutyrate may make cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus more sensitive to valganciclovir. Giving phenylbutyrate together with valganciclovir may block the growth of Epstein-Barr virus-infected cells and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving phenylbutyrate together with valganciclovir works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Epstein-Barr virus-positive cancer.
|Gastric Cancer Head and Neck Cancer Lymphoma Lymphoproliferative Disorder
|Drug: oral sodium phenylbutyrate Drug: valganciclovir Genetic: polymerase chain reaction Genetic: protein expression analysis Procedure: biopsy
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase II Study of Phenylbutyrate and Valganciclovir in Epstein-Barr Virus Positive Tumors
- Evidence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic phase activation (expression of EBV antigens BZLF1 and LMP2) as assessed by biopsy on day 3 of course 1
- Tumor response in patients with measurable disease as assessed by RECIST criteria
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2006
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|January 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- Determine the rate of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic phase activation by BZLF1 expression in patients with relapsed or refractory, EBV-positive malignancies treated with phenylbutyrate.
- Determine tumor responses in patients treated with phenylbutyrate followed by valganciclovir.
- Track serum EBV load by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and correlate changes with EBV lytic phase activation/tumor response.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.
Patients receive oral phenylbutyrate three times daily on days 1-21 and oral valganciclovir once or twice daily on days 4-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo biopsy on day 3 of course 1. Serum Epstein-Barr virus DNA is analyzed for expression of BZLF1 and LMP2 by quantitative polymerase chain reaction on days 3 and 14 of course 1 and on day 1 of each subsequent course.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 and 3 months.

LAKEPORT -- The service of a search warrant by the sheriff's narcotics task force on Friday resulted in the arrest of a former Lakeport police officer and the seizure of stolen property, marijuana, firearms, cash and several vehicles.
Taken into custody was Richard Edward Erickson, 60, of Lakeport, who faces charges that include possession of stolen property, manufacturing a controlled substance, being armed while committing a drug offense, cultivation of marijuana, and possession of marijuana for sale, according to Lake County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) Public Information Officer Steve Brooks.
Erickson, an 11-year veteran of the Lakeport Police Department when he was terminated in 2006, remained in custody Tuesday at the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility, with a bail set at $150,000.
In a news release Tuesday afternoon, the LCSO reported further details on the Friday morning raid of Erickson's Lakeport residence and the three businesses that he operated in Lakeport and Ukiah, according to Brooks.
At Erickson's residence on the 4000 block of Scotts Valley Road, narcotic detectives located more than 80 marijuana plants in two separate plots, Brooks stated.
In a garage on the property, detectives found 10 pounds of concentrated cannabis along with digital scales, packaging materials and price lists, according to Brooks, said that a large barn on the property was outfitted with marijuana grow lights, but were not in use.
The businesses that authorities searched were A-1 Alarm and Lock in Lakeport, Envy Tanning Salon in Lakeport and Reflections of Avalon in Ukiah, which authorities allege were either owned or operated by Erickson.
Reflections of Avalon, according to Brooks, "was a fully functional marijuana store front where Erickson was buying and selling processed marijuana, marijuana products and marijuana plants for profit," which is illegal in Ukiah.
During a search of the business, detectives located and seized 167 marijuana plants, found marijuana plants that were marked with prices and the strain of plant, and seized a large amount of processed marijuana and food products containing marijuana, as well as a butane concentrated cannabis (hashish) lab, according to Brooks.
Inside the office area, detectives located and opened three safes, including a large gun safe that contained packaged processed marijuana and cash, the news release stated.
Contents of safes included Methadone and Oxycontin pills, processed marijuana, concentrated cannabis and approximately $4,000, according to Brooks.
As detectives were executing the search warrant, "no less than 10 customers arrived at the business to purchase marijuana," the news release stated. "Two individuals also called the business while detectives were there. One of the individuals said he wanted to sell 17 marijuana plants and the other wanted to sell three pounds of processed marijuana. Both subjects were arrested when they arrived to sell their product. The detectives noticed a sign attached to the front counter, in front of the cash register. The sign read 'Attention: Temporarily credit card charges will show up on your statement as A-1 Alarm & Lock Lakeport Ca. Thank You.'"
A search of Erickson's A-1 Alarm and Lock business in Lakeport resulted in the discovery of a Thompson replica machine gun with both a 25-round and a 50-round magazine, Brooks stated. During the service of the search warrant, 16 firearms were seized and 447 marijuana plants were eradicated, Brooks stated.
Detectives also located and seized approximately 12 pounds of concentrated cannabis (hashish), approximately 15 pounds of processed marijuana and $16,000, Brooks stated in the news release.
A total of three Harley Davidson motorcycles, two Sea-Doo Jet Ski's, Kawasaki 4X4 Gator style utility vehicle and a 2010 Ford F-150 pickup were also seized for asset forfeiture proceedings, according to authorities.
Erickson was terminated from his job with the Lakeport Police Department in 2006 and arrested shortly after on charges of the misappropriating government funds for allegedly using police department equipment and time for personal reasons. He was also accused of having an affair with an 18-year-old woman.
He was defended at the time by Don Anderson, who was elected Lake County District Attorney in 2010. Erickson was acquitted in 2007.

I have been reading the PDGA message boards for quite some time and I've seen a common theme crop up whenever the subject of enforcing rules is brought up: avoidance of conflict. What's the deal with that?
This may or may not apply to you, so please don't take this personally; this is a question that has me really confused. During tournaments and such, most of the rule enforcement is up to the players in the group to either call the player on an infraction, or bring it up to the TD. Knowing this, why do I see so many people post that they'd rather let the perpetrator get away with the problem so that they don't have to get into a conflict with the perpetrator? If they break the rules, why should anyone else care about creating conflict? If they weren't breaking the rules, you wouldn't have to call them on it in the first place.
Lastly, I've also read posts that say people break out car windows or tell others that they'll seriously **** up another person if they continue to call them on the rules. How common is that? Is there some rogue gang of disc golfers that goes on tours intimidating everyone else? I just never assumed a problem such as this was present in this sport.

In my video critique, Emiller said that I lean a lot into my throw, and that also my "shoulder" plane is off. If this is the case, maybe these one-step throws are a good place to start isolating issues...
Dude...you are throwing 390-400' shots into the wind in your video, that is far beyond the distance that most people throw. If you are wanting to throw farther for distance competitions, or the courses you play are airplane runways, then cool, I hope you find what your are looking for.
Otherwise, stay fit, play often, and make very small changes, one at a time, and don't let advice jack your game up. BE HAPPY, you're a stud.
Thanks, Dook. I don't think improvement stops, though, and since I'm unhappy with my performance as it is, I'm still looking for tips here and there. I don't have local disc golf sages to help me out IRL. Advice has never screwed me up. I don't find it hurtful to try new things, either, and in fact I think it makes me better because it makes me more aware of what works and what doesn't. It's easy to tweak things myself, but sometimes it's better to hear what others have to say also.

What made the original S1000RR so revolutionary was its electronics package. While Ducati had unveiled the first 'proper' traction control system on two-wheels on the 1098R in 2007 (yes I know the Pan European had one, Ducati's system was far more advanced), and Honda had 'race' ABS on its CBR600RR in 2009, BMW put it all together in the most electronically advanced motorcycle on the market. The BMW came with variable ABS that switched sensitivity depending on which power mode you had the bike set in (Rain, Sport, Race or Slick) and this in turn also altered the traction control, throttle response and fuel maps.
These electronics made average riders feel like heroes and when combined with a stunning chassis and class-leading powerful motor made the BMW instantly the top of the 1000cc sportsbike food chain. The Japanese didn't know what had hit them.
So rather than a radical modification, the 2012 bike is a refresh and general iron-out of any teething issues. Not that there was much to sort out, since it was launched the S1000RR has ruled the track in 'production racing' Superstock form (but interestingly not World Superbikes) and generally emerged victorious in magazine group comparative tests against the Japanese competition. So what's the new model like? Unsurprisingly, still bloody fast and very, very good!
When riding the bike the biggest difference that you feel on the new model is in the engine's power delivery. The outgoing 2010/2011 S1000RR could prove a bit of a handful and when the power chimed in at around 8,000rpm it did it with such ferocity (in full power mode) that the front had a nasty habit of trying to go upwards rather than forwards, something the anti-wheelie wasn't overly good at dealing with. By fiddling with the fuel maps, BMW have altered the engine's power characteristics and made the 2012 bike far smoother and stronger in the midrange while still delivering the same peak power. Exiting corners the updated BMW has much more linear drive without the nasty powerband of the old model. It's still horrifically fast, and swallowed up Valencia's main straight at a frightening rate of knots, but it did it in a more controlled fashion and although it will still rear up in second gear on the throttle (when in Slick mode which de-activates the anti-wheelie feature) it is far less ferocious. However I'm glad BMW have added some adjustability to the steering damper, if you watch the video you can see the bars twitching on the start/finish straight well into third gear...
Despite already being the best sportsbike on the market, BMW have taken the S1000RR and improved it even further. It is still insanely fast, but the refined electronics and midrange performance reduce a bit of its wild edge and make it more manageable for the 'average' rider. To get the very best out of the BMW you need to be a British level racer, if not higher, but to go faster than you ever have on track with a huge safety net of electronics to shield you from disaster you just need the balls to push the S1000RR harder.
This is a track-focused machine and as such pretty extreme. It will wheelie on the throttle when you put the power down, it will shake its head a bit under hard acceleration and it is quite intimidating to ride. But what the hell do you expect from the best sportsbike on the market?

Few things matter more to an aging parent than maintaining lifestyle, safety and independence -- and when it comes to home decor, the right interior design decisions will go a long way towards supporting all three.
Whether you're inviting an elderly parent to live with you, or are helping an older relative adjust living space to accommodate changing needs and abilities, Davis Remignanti, lead design consultant at Furniture.com, offers these practical home decorating ideas to help make any living space more "senior-friendly":
- Create a Sanctuary: For seniors who share a home with family members, their only personal space is often the bedroom. In it, create a "sanctuary" that calms, centers and energizes by allowing space for favorite pastimes, enjoying personal media, or otherwise catching some quiet time. Choose a bed that offers easy access (onto and off) along with appropriate support and comfort.
- Color Their World: Turn to color to open-up and enliven small spaces. Whites and light neutral colors, along with blues, greens and violets (in light shades) help rooms appear larger. To assist with visibility, consider home furnishings in hues that contrast against their backgrounds.
- Light It Up: Ease the strain on older eyes with plenty of lighting options. Give special attention to areas used for detailed work, like reading and hobbies. Use wall switches at room entry points to control lighting.
- Easy Storage: Provide adequate, easily accessible storage that doesn't require reaching, bending or straining. Choose dressers and wardrobes with large or D-loop handles that don't require fine finger dexterity. Many children's dressers feature easy-rolling guides and built-in safety stops.
- Work the Kitchen: Create a seated work area for food preparation tasks. A small table and chair in a comfortable location, with nearby access to utensils, is a good solution.
- Support at Dinner: Consider investing in dining chairs that provide good back support and have strong, sturdy arms. Seat cushioning adds comfort, but should be securely fitted to the chair.
- Blend and Compromise: Respect is the watchword when integrating any relative's home furniture into your own home design. Compromise when faced with the question of placing a well-loved but less-than-decor-complementary piece in the living room. If it's a definite "no," get creative. Instead, reserve a corner for it in the senior's bedroom.
- Clear the Path: Clear away items -- small home accessories, plants, magazine racks -- that clutter pathways or require individuals to walk around to avoid. Accommodate wheelchairs or walkers by allowing at least 36 inches between objects. Try the free, interactive Room Planner at www.furniture.com/roomplanner.
"Remember that the goal in redesigning a living space for senior use is to enable that senior to maintain her freedom within a safe, comfortable and friendly living environment," advises Remignanti. "Communication is crucial. Share opinions and ideas -- and create the solution together."

Romney voters don't have much to be happy about today, but some view the poor market action as confirmation that four more years of Obama will be bad for business and the economy. While I can understand that argument, I suspect the market had more downside coming no matter who won the election.
No politician has an easy or simple solution to problems like the fiscal cliff, the giant budget deficit, or entitlement spending. Any effective solution will inflict some pain and it looks like the market is preparing for that now.
I'm trying to avoid wallowing in the political aftermath. It is very easy to let the political debate mislead you, especially if you are unhappy about the election results. I'm making an extra effort to focus on the price action and to watch for developing themes and trends.
Obviously, the downtrend that started in September is gaining momentum. I always respect the trend and avoid bottom fishing, which means that I have little choice but to be mainly in cash. I'm going to stay that way until there is better action, leadership or tradable themes. I'm always looking for quick flips, but there is no way I build longer-term positions until the market acts better.

Once again, Doug Kass does a very nice job of setting forth the bear case against this market.
His arguments are quite persuasive and I see few flaws in his thinking. There is just one problem. No one cares right now. These are the same bearish arguments that existed to start the year and all we've done is trend steadily higher.
I bring this up because it illustrates why the price action is so much more important than macro arguments in the short term. The problem with big-picture arguments is that there is just no way to time when they might matter. As the economist John Maynard Keynes once said. "the market can stay irrational longer than you can solvent." There simply is no guarantee that the market is going to appreciate great wisdom or insight in the timeframe we might hope.
The solution to this problem is fairly simple. You must respect the price action until it shows signs of actually embracing the big-picture thesis you have formulated. The easiest way to lose money is to assume that the market is going to suddenly appreciate your thinking and totally fall apart.
Although I have been rooting for a market pullback, I haven't acted on that hope because there just isn't any price action supportive of a bearish bias. It doesn't matter how strong the bearish arguments might be. Until the character of the market starts to shift it is academic to focus on negatives.
There is more than one way to approach the market and many folks have done well with an anticipatory approach. But I believe the average individual trader and investors would be better served if they focused on reacting to conditions as they changed rather trying to guess when they will. We all know that the market is going to suffer a rough patch sooner or later and we want to make sure we are ready, but, as I've often written, trends tend to last far longer than most people think are reasonable.
Doug Kass is going to be right sooner or later and as soon as the price action starts to embrace his views I'll join him in the bearish camp.

Category: Caroline Leavitt novelist
Novelist Caroline Leavitt, author of the New York Times bestselling Pictures of You, has had not one dream job but two. Before she became a full-time writer, she was a professional namer, naming not books or characters but everything from phones to bras. Her story:
I was writing high fashion copy at Macy's when my boss asked me to come up with names for a new cosmetic shop. "Five hundred of them," she told me.
She wanted names that sounded Italian. (Plissamo. Glissatto.) Names that were Italian. (Fellini.) Names that sounded like Edenic places. (Bliss.) Names that were Edenic places (Roma, Paris, or yup, Eden.)
I sat down with a thesaurus and a dictionary and began making lists of names. Sometimes I rifled through magazines for inspiration, or sat there dreaming as one word seemed to flow into another. It took me about three days to come up with a list, but even then I wasn't finished. Next the names had to go through legal to make sure no one else had already used the name, and if it was a good one, they usually had. This winnowed my list down quite a bit. Then they had to run it through a language test, because you didn't want a name being chosen that meant "likes to sleep with goats" in Swahili.
But alas, as it often happens, none of my names were chosen because the shop was never built.
Still, I named kids' dressing rooms (Presto Chango!) I named a bra (Barely There). I found to my surprise that I was good at it, and boy, was it fun.

'Growing Up Beside You'
paolo Nutini
Five million albums sold worldwide and some impressive stage-sharing with Mr Paul Weller and The Rolling Stones have placed Mr Nutini at the very top of the pop game - and all at the age of 24. Currently back in the studio working on his third album, he talks us through the tracks on his playlist right now
'Slap and Tickle'
"A song full of swagger. First line: 'She was frigid like a Bible when she met her boyfriend Michael'. Absolutely brilliant."
'Victims of the Darkness'
Allen Toussaint
"The lyrics are genius and the song conveys a great message."
Django Reinhardt & StÉphane Grappelli
"There are no words, just music and that's all it needs. Reinhardt on his guitar, Grappelli on his violin and the Quintette du Hot Club de France. It sets the scene perfectly and leaves you feeling comfortably and cozily sad."
'Love Comes In Spurts'
Richard Hell & The Voidoids
"Hell had attitude coming out of every pore. It's a song that gives you the confidence to say what you think, and if it offends a few folk along the way, then so be it. You're always going to offend somebody, or offend everybody, by being so inoffensive."
'Love Comes In Spurts'
Joe Tex
"A nice message. Some of the most inspiring tales are told by people who have stuck with each other, no matter what."
Mr Nutini's latest studio album, Sunny Side Up, is out now

Dickey feels ready to compete in Classic
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- R.A. Dickey feels confident with the way his first couple of outings in Spring Training went and believes he's ready to take the next step at the World Baseball Classic.
Dickey's time in Blue Jays' camp is about to go on hiatus as he's set to join Team USA for the upcoming tournament. He could be away until March 19, but a lot of that will depend on how the United States fares against its competition.
With plenty on the line, the intensity level is about to dramatically increase, but that's just fine for Toronto's No. 1 starter.
"I think for me, because I felt good today, I know I can step on the gas a little bit more and it'll be OK," said Dickey, who allowed three runs in three innings against Philadelphia on Saturday. "It's good timing because I'm going into a very competitive situation.
"Today was a big stepping stone towards that. I went down and threw another inning in the bullpen. I'm going to have nights in Toronto when I give up two or three in the first or second inning and I still have to fight through six or seven innings. It's a good exercise, even mentally for me."
Dickey's outing versus the Phillies got off to a rough start as he surrendered a pair of back-to-back doubles and a two-run shot to Ryan Howard in the first inning.
The three-run frame put Toronto in an early deficit, but he quickly settled down and retired six of the final seven batters he faced. The numbers might appear to be somewhat inconsistent through two starts, but it generally takes Dickey a little while in spring to get a feel for the knuckleball.
The later in camp it gets, the more effective the pitch becomes. He also still has to add approximately three miles per hour to the knuckleball, and that's expected to happen in his first start for Team USA.
Joining Dickey at the Classic will be Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia. United States manager Joe Torre has yet to announce his plans for playing time, but it's expected that the pair will be used together whenever Dickey is on the mound.
"I anticipate him catching me and I'm pretty sure that's what Joe Torre is thinking," Dickey said. "I don't want to speak for him, but he knows we've been working hard together and that first game I'm sure he's going to want me to feel comfortable and throwing [Joe] Mauer or [Jonathan] Lucroy having not had any experience with me doesn't seem like the smartest decision. But that's up to him."

What do you folks think?
Dear "Season Ticket Holder"
As you may have heard, the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the NBA and the Player's Association has expired and an agreement for a new CBA has not yet been reached. Negotiations will continue and will hopefully bring about a resolution that is in the best interests of our teams, our players, our fans, and our game.As a valued Full Season Ticket Plan Holder, we want to provide you with information about the two options available if games are cancelled this season. By clicking here, you can review specific details of both the Pacers Loyalty Option and the Basic Option, and then select your preferred option. The Pacers Loyalty Option will allow you to earn a 10% credit from games missed, while the Basic Option provides a refund, plus 1% annual interest. Both options become unnecessary if a new labor agreement is reached prior to the start of the 2011-12 season.
We have always considered the Pacers and Conseco Fieldhouse as a community asset and partner. Whether we are playing games or not, I pledge to all fans and citizens that this franchise will continue as an active, vibrant and important part of our community. We all know basketball has a distinctive legacy, particularly in Indiana. We remain committed to ensuring a world-class experience and championship caliber basketball for our fans.
Thank you for your important support for the Indiana Pacers. We look forward to seeing you soon at Conseco Fieldhouse.
Herbert Simon
