Despite injury, Fuld targeting Opening Day
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Sam Fuld has been out since March 3 for precautionary reasons because of a tight right hamstring. The Rays don't want him rushing back because running is such a big part of his game.
Despite all of the time that he's missed, the Rays outfielder remains confident he will be ready to play on Opening Day.
"Yeah, yeah, I am," Fuld said. "I know that as long as I continue to be safe and cautious with it, the leg will be fine by Opening Day."
Fuld and Rays manager Joe Maddon both believe he can play in games by the end of the week. Fuld said that return to action might include a Minor League game.
"I feel like I've learned over the last three or four years that you don't necessarily need a ton of repetition at the plate to feel comfortable," Fuld said. "I know what to do, whether it's in the batting cage or what not to get ready for at-bats without having seen live pitching in a while. I think that's changed.
"In the past it felt like maybe 50 or 60 at-bats in Spring Training would get me ready, I feel like I don't need as many now."
Fuld has not been sitting idle during the period away from the playing field. He has performed a lot of different drills, though he said he has not swung a bat and burst out of the box yet.
"That's probably the one thing I haven't done," Fuld said. "I've done a lot of agility work with back and forth lateral movements and stuff. And then [Tuesday] when I ran the bases, I ran pretty hard and felt good. I haven't done any outfield work, but I feel like the agility stuff I've done has mimicked that pretty well."
Originally, the forecast for Fuld's return was sooner. Even though the status of his leg has lingered, he hasn't grown more concerned.
"I knew I was going to be conservative with it and I knew it was going to take a while," Fuld said. "So I was prepared for this amount of time. I keep reminding myself that it's a long Spring Training. It's always difficult when you're injured and you're itching to get out there as soon as possible. But given the time frame and the setting, I think it's important to be extra safe."

HOUSTON - A baby who was found abandoned inside a plastic bag outside a northwest Harris County apartment complex has been released from a hospital.
A woman called 911 when she found the baby outside the Stonegate Villas Apartments on Grant Road near Jones Road about 7 p.m. on Tuesday.
The baby still had about 3 inches of her umbilical cord attached and was in good condition, officials said.
"Somebody had already cleaned up the child before placing the child on the curb," said Sgt. Gordon Trott of the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
The baby was taken to Texas Chldren's Hospital for care. Doctors said she may have been born prematurely -- she only weighed 4 pounds when she was found.
On Monday, the baby, who nurses named Chloe, was released from the hospital. She will be placed with a foster family.
Child Protective Services officials said they don't know why the baby was abandoned the way she was. Texas law allows anyone to drop off a newborn at a hospital or fire station with no questions asked and no legal ramifications.
"The law allows you to leave a baby an infant under 60 days old at a fire station, EMS, a hospital -- all you have to do is hand the baby over," said Gwen Carter with Child Protective Services.
Deputies are searching for the woman who delivered Chloe. She may face a child endangerment charge, which is a felony.
CPS officials said they want to talk to the mother so they can help her baby the best life possible.
"Our role is so this baby can be placed with relatives, if some are found, or adopted by someone, and so the person who is adopting this baby can have more genetic background on the this baby to be able to raise her," CPS spokeswoman Estella Olguin said.
CPS attorneys said they plan to ask a judge to legally sever parental custody so Chloe may be put up for adoption immediately.
Anyone with information about Chloe's mother and/or the person who abandoned the baby is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
Women who are in crisis and have thoughts of abandoning their baby are urged to call 1-877-904-SAVE.

Today, much of the international community is celebrating Labor Day, also known as International Workers' Day. Labor Day recognizes the social and economic achievements of laborers. Though much has been accomplished for workers, including safer working conditions and representation through labor unions, workers like those in Tanzanian rock quarries still labor under very difficult conditions.
Mary Dawn Reavey, the Dar es Salaam project coordinator in Tanzania, gives us a look at the working conditions of people who break rocks for a living.
Story by Reavey, and video by Freddie (sponsored) and Emma (formerly sponsored).
Freddie, Emma and I interviewed and filmed some guardians of sponsored children who break rocks for a living. Because many parents die from AIDS, their children are often raised by guardians such as uncles, aunts, brothers or sisters.
At a quarry outside Dar es Salaam, workers break rocks near the road to be more accessible to potential customers. To protect them from the blazing sun, the workers construct a covering with sticks and old flour sacks.
They pound rocks for at least eight hours a day, starting around 6 a.m. to avoid the intense midday heat. CFCA is helping many of these guardians start small businesses, allowing them to significantly reduce the time they spend breaking stones, or stop altogether.
The rock is blasted out with dynamite. Much of the area has holes up to 30 feet deep, creating a dangerous environment for children. We also see many injuries to the hands, face and eyes.
The workers sit on the ground and pound the rock into gravel size chunks with a small hammer. Sitting in the dirt all day exposes them to skin and parasite infections. Breathing the dust contributes to chronic lung disease and makes them more susceptible to pneumonia, upper respiratory infections and tuberculosis. Most of them have a chronic cough.
Price varies with size and type of stone. Workers earn the same amount of money for the number of hours worked, regardless of the size or type of stone. The rock is used for the construction of buildings, roads and bridges, mainly in the foundations.
Typically, a woman can break five to seven buckets of stone in eight hours. A healthy man can break 12 buckets in the same amount of time. They earn 100 to 150 Tanzanian shillings per bucket, or 7 to 11 cents per bucket.
The guardians told us that most people have to sell every day in order to eat. The women are able to meet their daily needs with proceeds from their small businesses, and then earn more money breaking stones.

A mom asks about the ethics of selling hand-me-down baby clothes.
Dear Miriam,
My sister-in-law gave me an entire hand-me-down wardrobe for my baby boy, all in great condition, and made it clear she doesn't want them back. Many of the clothes turned out to be for the wrong season for his size, however, and he's not going to get to wear them. I'm on an email list for local parents, and someone recently posted that she's looking to buy used clothes for her baby boy. Can I sell clothes that I didn't buy?
Unloading Baby Gear
Dear Unloading,
Theoretically, the goal of selling unwanted goods is to make back some of the money you spent in the first place and put the proceeds towards buying new goods. Payment can also be a substitute for other kinds of value, so if you want to make sure you're giving the clothes to someone who'll appreciate them, charging for them is one way to do that.
However, since you didn't pick these clothes out in the first place, I doubt you have much emotional attachment to them. You'll still need clothes for your son to wear, so why not organize a swap? Since you're already on a parent list, you could create a simple invite for a low-key meet-up for people to trade unwanted baby goods. It's a great way to feel like your things are going to good use while also getting some new things yourself.
If you really feel like selling them is the way to go, you need to talk to your sister-in-law. Tell her that you've enjoyed and appreciated the hand-me-downs, but haven't been able to use all of them. Say, "I may have an opportunity to sell some of them, and I was wondering if you'd like me to handle that transaction for you." She may say, "Great, you can just send me a check for whatever you get." More likely, she'll say something like, "Go ahead and sell them, but don't worry about paying me back."
Or, she may request that you give the clothes to someone in need who would truly benefit from the hand-me-downs. If that's her reaction, I would strongly encourage you to check out Philadelphia's Family to Family. This amazing nonprofit, founded by former Har Zion member Julie Shore, has already helped more than 110 babies since December 2013. In addition to clothing, they can always use burp cloths, strollers and bouncy seats, as well as monetary donations and volunteer hours. A complete list of what they accept is available on their Facebook page. Most of their donations as well as their requests for help have come through word of mouth and social media, and I'm happy to do some small part here to raise awareness of a great way to get unwanted baby items out of your house while also doing a mitzvah.
Here's one more suggestion to bring this all together: Sell the clothes, then write a donation check with the money you make. You and your sister-in-law are both free of goods you don't want, someone who's specifically looking for these types of clothes will be able to use them and a deserving organization will also benefit.
Be well,

Air Force veteran from Eugene finally gets to fly
EUGENE, Ore. - A Eugene man and Air Force veteran finally gets to earn his wings this weekend.
KVAL News explains why 83 year old Richard Rife is getting ready for his first flight--ever.
It's possible no one else in Eugene has been a fan of the San Francisco 49'ers, longer, than Richard Rife. That's why the Air Force vet is finally going to fly, for the first time.
He is what you'd call, old school."The fact that I don't use a computer and I don't use a cell phone," says Rife, with a hint of pride.
And would you believe this Air Force vet, has never been in an airplane, ever. Not even during his active duty days in the Korean War, when he aspired to be an aerial engineer.
Rife told KVAL News, "When they had seen I'd been cutting meat for 6 years, they put me into food service." Yes, the meat cutter never got his wings, but while stationed in San Francisco,
Rife got hooked on the 49'ers and went to games in old Kezar Stadium. "Frankie Albert was the quarterback and he would draw plays in the dirt," explains Rife.
That passion for a team gave Richard's son an idea to give flight to his father's dream. "You know what, it didn't take any talking into, which surprised me because he (Richard) always said he wouldn't fly and I said Dad--why don't we just fly there?" says Kevin Rife.
Richard agreed with the plan and will take off Friday afternoon from the Eugene Airport. Tom Adams asked, "Richard--what do you think your first flight is going to be like? Like a 'white knuckle' special or what do you think?" Rife replied, "No, no--it's going to be a good flight. I'm not worried; I'm thinking about getting down to San Francisco and seeing the ballgame and going down and having an Irish coffee."
So 60 years after his discharge, Richard Rife can check off "flying" from his bucket list. Having time with his son and his beloved 49'ers...priceless.
Kevin Rife: "It's going to be fun--it's going to be exciting." Richard answers, "It's just going to be the 2 of us, so it will be even more fun."
These days, Richard helps at the family business, Rife's Furniture, by vacuuming the showroom floors.
He turns 84 on October 21st.

Q: Which one of the co-captains would you keep if you were Sabres GM Darcy Regier? A: [Laughs] Why did I know this question was coming? You have to understand, Linda. I've known Danny for years. He was my roommate. We played midgets and juniors together. We followed the same paths all the way to the NHL. I knew he was going to be a superstar with unreal talent because I had so much trouble stopping him. And then you have Chris. This guy's something else! Not only on the ice, but in the locker room. He just makes everybody step it up because he never lets down.'

Orioles recall INF Navarro from Triple-A Norfolk
The Orioles today announced that they have recalled INF YAMAICO NAVARRO from Triple-A Norfolk and placed INF BRIAN ROBERTS on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain.
Navarro, 25, was acquired from Pittsburgh on November 30, 2012 in exchange for minor league RHP JHONDANIEL MEDINA. He batted .276/.417/.379 in 29 spring training at-bats for the Orioles after hitting .279/.366/.491 in 66 games with Triple-A Indianapolis last season and going 8-for-50 with the Pirates. He will wear #54.
Roberts, 35, went 5-for-12 with a double, run scored, RBI and stolen base in the first three games of the season.

From our perspective, why would you agree to this trade today ??
1. The deal can't be consummated until next week at the earliest anyway.
2. If you announce to the world that TJ Ford is your new PG, than you are also alerting everyone that you no longer covet a PG at #11 which is what everyone has assumed forever..............what would be the point in doing that ?? Unless you have a master plan to pair DJ and TJ in the same backcourt ???
3. Why agree to the trade before you see who is still available at 17. Maybe you like 14 or 15 players in this draft...........what if all 14 or 15 are gone and your left reaching on a guy you don't have rated very high.......or on a guy who the rest of the league thinks is a 2nd rd pick at best...........hello James White......
4. Why trade one of your best assets at his lowest possible value ??
5. Why trade for a $25mm PG who isn't very good and has injury concerns and never plays a full season, when you already have a $25mm PG who isn't very good, has injury history, and who never plays a full season ??
In any event.....I think this is internet fodder leaked by a Toronto official. It makes less than zero sense even if Bird wants this deal............to announce it today or agree to it today.
If the guy you like is available at 17.............agree to it then at the earliest.

Just because these organisms and processes don't scream out, doesn't mean growers shouldn't pay attention to what goes on. In fact, paying attention can make the difference between a good and a great grower. In an earlier Michigan State University Extension article, "Knowing nutrient mobility is helpful in diagnosing plant nutrient deficiencies," I discussed nutrient mobility within the plant and how understanding mobility helps identify nutrient deficiencies, but it is also important for growers to pay attention to nutrient mobility in the soil.
Plant nutrients exist in the soil as either anions or cations. What are they? Most molecules in natural systems have a positive or negative charge and it is this charge difference that helps drive chemical reactions to keep us all alive – that's important. Anions are those elements or molecules that in their natural state have a negative (-) charge. Cations are those that in their natural state have a positive (+) charge. Negative charge, positive charge – who cares? Keep reading.
Most soil particles have a negative charge. The amount of negative charge depends on soil texture, such as sand, silt and clay content, which is directly related to soil particle surface area. The cation exchange capacity (CEC) determined by a soil test is a direct indication of the amount of negative charges on your soils. A soil with low CEC has fewer negative charges than a soil with a higher number. High sand soils generally have a low CEC, clay or silt soils are higher and organic soils are highest – all related to particle surface area.
Now the important part! Since soils are negatively charged and plant nutrients are positive and negative, some nutrients are attracted to soil while others are not – the "opposites attract" principle. Those nutrients that exist as anions (-) are moved through soil, meaning growers need to be careful how they are applied regardless of soil type. These nutrients readily travel wherever water carries them, leading to nutrient runoff and leaching and economic loss and environmental concern.
Cations (+) are more readily bound to soil, resulting in these nutrients moving through the soil more slowly. However, since low CEC soils have fewer negative charges, cations will move more quickly through low CEC (sandy-based) soils than they will through high CEC (loamy and silt/clay-based) soils.
All this positive-negative, cation-anion, high CEC-low CEC stuff comes into play when applying nutrients and water. Table 1 gives the soil-borne elements necessary for plant growth, the form taken up by the plant and the element's mobility in the soil. Note that most mobile elements have a negative charge and the somewhat mobile and immobile elements have a positive charge. Over application of a (-) charged element followed by excessive water will quickly move that element through the system. Likewise, over application of most (+) charged elements on a low CEC soil can move that element through the system since there are not enough (-) charges on the soil particle surface to bind to the cation.
The odd anion is phosphorous. Even though it has a (-) charge, it is not mobile in soil because phosphorous forms are not very soluble. It can, however, still move – not as the anion, but bound to soil particles as the particles move. Therefore, minimizing runoff is helpful in reducing phosphorus pollution.
Understanding nutrient movement in soils helps producers apply nutrients and water to maximize economic effectiveness while minimizing environmental impact.

Members of the Covington Coyote Pack combined to run the distance from their school to Washington, D.C.
More than a hundred students at Covington School joined the Coyote Pack, the elementary school's running club, last fall. Members participated through the end of the school year.
Since October, the Coyote Pack has run a cumulative distance equivalent to running across the United States – from Covington School in Los Altos to the White House in Washington, D.C. – according to organizers. That's 2,855 miles.
To accomplish this feat with their feet, students met at lunch each Friday to run laps around the school field. Runners retained a punch card to track their completed laps. Each Friday at the school's morning assembly – in front of peers, teachers and parents – club members received ribbons based on the miles they completed. School officials also announced where on the U.S. map the runners would be if they started at Covington and headed toward the White House.
Covington moms Jen Roy McGuigan and Jen Springer started the program. Downtown businesses like On Your Mark, Spot Pizza and Jamba Juice showed their support for the club by providing incentives to its members for their efforts.

only the softest yellow
I'm not too fond of the color yellow in general. While shades of blue, green and pink can persuade me, yellow has just been a color I've stayed away from in every form. This apartment has the most subtle shades of yellow, creams and whites with just a hint and tiny flowers in the color. I must say that the grey and white really tone down the yellow into something super soft and appealing to me.

WILLITS -- Two-time defending North Central League I champion Middletown fell 59-47 to the Willits Wolverines on Friday night in varsity boys' basketball action, dropping the Mustangs to 0-2 in the league standings.
Middletown opened the 2010-11 league campaign 1-2 in G.J. Rockwell's first season as coach and went on to earn a co-championship, however, this is the first time the Rockwell-led Mustangs have started 0-2 in NCL I play.
Assistant coach Jake Diehl was filling in for Rockwell, who was away on work-related business, on Friday night.
"We fell off our game plan a little bit to be honest with you," Diehl said. "They (Wolverines) came out playing and we didn't. They played good defense."
Willits, which was making its league debut, led 15-9 after one quarter and 26-19 at the half. Middletown (0-2, 8-5) got as close as three points in the second half before the Wolverines pulled away.
"I think every team in the league is one you're going to have to look out for," Diehl said when asked if the Wolverines were title contenders this season.
Tyler Rockwell turned in another solid effort for the Mustangs, according to Diehl, and finished with 17 points. Anthonie Guzman added 13 points and Blaine Amos and Nate Snodgrass each had eight.
In other boys' action Friday:
Cloverdale 69, Clear Lake 61
At Lakeport, Cloverdale improved to 2-0 in the league standings by pulling away from Clear Lake with a 25-13 third quarter.
The Cardinals (0-2, 6-8) led 26-22 after one quarter and 35-30 at halftime but missed a chance to increase that lead in the second quarter, according to coach Scott De Leon.
"We had an opportunity to really, really put the game in our favor in the second quarter and we just had too many turnovers," De Leon said. "We played pretty darn good defense in that quarter but we had a hard time making good passes."
The Cardinals turned the ball over nine times in that quarter alone.
Cloverdale answered with a big third period to take control of the game.
"They made some adjustments to the zone defense we were running," De Leon said.
Adrian Perez scored 19 points to lead Clear Lake, Danny Partida added 13 and David Mansell had 11.
Andrew Jackson starred on defense for Clear Lake, holding Cloverdale's Isiah Warren, a junior guard, to just one point in the second half. Warren scored 23 of Cloverdale's 30 first-half points.
"We held him to one in the second half and AJ was a big part of that," De Leon said.
St. Helena 60, Kelseyville 35
At St. Helena, the Kelseyville Knights opened their NCL I schedule with a thud, falling to the St. Helena Saints.
"St. Helena could have scored 90 points on us, we were not very focused tonight," Kelseyville coach Scott Conrad said.
Conrad said future efforts by the Knights (0-1, 2-10) will be better because they can't possibly be any worse.
"By default," he added.
Senior guard John-Mark Reagan was the one Knight who gave Conrad the effort he was looking for.
"John-Mark played his guts outs, I was really happy with his effort," Conrad said.
Reagan led the Knights with 12 points and Dustin Martin had five.
Kelseyville played without one of its top scorers, Robert McLean, who is recovering from injuries sustained during a Dec. 27 vehicle crash. He is expected to play at home Tuesday against Cloverdale. Teammate Preston Griffin was injured in the same accident and played sparingly against St. Helena.
"Not having Robert makes a difference, not that it mattered tonight," Conrad said.

HOUSTON - Thanks to a growing list of green companies and products, living in an eco-friendly home is attainable. Homeowners now have green options for everything from insulation and flooring to lawn fertilizer and paint. When it comes to going green around your home, there are some things consumers can do to make sure they are getting eco-friendly and not eco-fake.
"When you are painting, you can use non-toxic, low-VOC paint. Even housecleaners are looking at eco-friendly opportunities, using eco-friendly products when cleaning. My guess is this trend is going to continue and become more and more important," said Angie Hicks, the creator of the service referral website, Angie's List.
So it should come as no surprise when people look to hire they want service providers to be just as green. A recent Angie's List survey found 70 percent of users are interested in going green when it comes to service companies while 15 percent said they hire companies that are exclusively green.
Hicks said consumers should be warned the word "green" means different things to different people.
"With green practices being a new trend, consumers are a little skeptical that they truly are providing green services," said Hicks.
Check that the company has earned its green certification in its fields and then contact the agencies to confirm it. Hicks says don't stop at the ads or pretty websites. Do some digging.
"Don't take it for face value. Ask a lot of questions, so that you are sure what they say they are offering you is actually what you are getting," Hicks said.
You can check a company's answers with groups like the Forest Stewardship Council, which certifies safe harvesting of wood or the National Fenestration Rating Council, which certifies windows for energy performance or products earning the Energy Star or Watersense labels to ensure energy and water efficiency.
A good indicator is LEED certification. It means an independent, third party has verified the high performance standards in the work and the selected materials.
Do your homework so your green intentions are not wasted.
- Forest Stewardship Council : www.fsc.org/
- National Fenestration Rating Council : www.nfrc.org
- Energy Star : www.energystar.gov
- Watersense : www.epa.gov/watersense
Hiring Eco-friendly tips:
- Scrutinize ads: Advertising often misleads consumers with words, artwork and vague or exaggerated statements.
- Seek certifications: Companies that care about the environment should take the time to earn industry-specific green certifications from a reputable third party, such as LEED, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) or the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Membership in NARI or NAHB doesn't guarantee the company is green. Check that the company has earned their green certification for design and construction.
- Do your homework: Confirm green training, licensing (if applicable), credentials, and work practices. Solar panel installers, for example, require licensing in some states.
- Track materials: Ask companies if they use sustainable products, such as the Forest Stewardship Council's certified wood from sustainably harvested forests. The National Fenestration Rating Council certifies windows for energy performance, and products earning the Energy Star or WaterSense labels ensure energy and water efficiency.
- Have a conversation: Take time to make sure your potential hires know that work practices that protect the environment are important to you. As you discuss your priorities, you'll get a good feel for whether the contractors share your passion. It will set your project off to a great green start.

Hybrid selection is one of the most important management decisions you make each year, says Peter Thomison, an Ohio State University Extension state agronomist.
"It's a decision that warrants a careful comparison of performance data," says Thomison, who also holds an appointment with the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. "It should not be made in haste or based on limited data. Planting a marginal hybrid or one not suitable for a particular production environment imposes a ceiling on the yield potential for a field before it's been planted."
Thomison recommends that you choose hybrids that are best suited to your farm operation.
"Corn acreage, previous crop, soil type, tillage practices, desired harvest moisture and pest problems all determine the relative importance of such traits as dry down, insect and disease resistance, early plant vigor and plant height," explains Thomison.
In addition, you should take into consideration the end uses of corn, such as grain or silage, on-farm use, and food-grade or non-GMO when selecting the right hybrid.
Use the following tips to help you with hybrid selection decisions:
- Select hybrids with maturity ratings appropriate for a geographic area. "Corn for grain should reach physiological maturity or "black layer" one to two weeks before the first killing frost in the fall," recommends Thomison. Use days-to-maturity, growing degree-day (GDD) ratings, and harvest grain moisture data from performance trials to determine differences in hybrid maturity.
- Choose hybrids that have produced consistently high yields across a number of locations. "Choosing a hybrid simply because it's a "triple stack" or "quad stack" or possesses appealing cosmetic traits, like "flex" ears, will not ensure high yields," says Thomison. "Instead, look for yield consistency across environments. Hybrids will perform differently, based on region, soils and environmental conditions, and growers should not rely solely on one hybrid characteristic or transgenic traits to make their product selection."
- Plant hybrids with good standability to minimize stalk lodging. This is particularly important in areas where stalk rots are perennial problems, or where field drying is anticipated.
- Select hybrids with resistance and/or tolerance to stalk rots, foliar diseases, and ear rots.
- Never purchase a hybrid without consulting performance data. "Results of state, company, and county replicated hybrid performance trials should be reviewed before purchasing hybrids," suggests Thomison. "Because weather conditions are unpredictable, the most reliable way to select superior hybrids is to consider performance during the last year and the previous year over as wide a range of locations and climatic conditions as possible." If limited to single year data, it's important to try to evaluate a hybrid's performance across a range of different growing conditions.

Market Pulse: This bull market is profitable
March 18, 2013
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Stocks are well on the way to rising five straight months and they are up ten out of eleven weeks. This is a bull market, a powerful one now up 10 percent year-to-date on top of last year's 13-percent gain. Profit-taking from time to time is inevitable and in fact healthy. Expect brief episodes, but they won't de-rail the bull market.
The generally negative CNBC regulars and many guests assure viewers that the rally they didn't predict isn't as strong as it appears (low volume, etc.) and a "correction" is overdue. That word isn't accurate. It implies that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. There is nothing wrong with stocks trading at these levels. What is wrong is how the naysayers focus on the well-known negatives while they ignore the many positives.
The driving force for the market remains the one I've written about again and again. Whether your goal is growth or income, the alternatives to stocks are unattractive. That alone would drive prices higher, but there's more. Corporations have record profits and the strongest balance sheets ever.
The S&P is not as weighted to financial stocks as it was at the market peak in 2007 when banks were booking phantom profits on soon-to-be worthless mortgage packages, so the quality of earnings today is better. GDP growth is and will remain slow, true, but it's still growth and acceleration in a better global economy is more likely than a slowdown. Day after day the economic news is a little better.
The energy situation is a huge positive. There should be stronger environmental regulation, but we (North America) could be energy independent this decade thanks to shale drilling. No more imports from the Mideast, Venezuela and Africa.
Another positive is the Fed continues to inject liquidity into the financial system. Despite all the positives, stock valuations (price-earnings ratios) are below their historical average (15), especially compared to times when rates were low (16-17). No, nothing needs to be "corrected."
Recommended Stories For You
The case for higher prices rests in part on a combination of rising (and healthier) earnings and multiple expansion, in other words the best of all worlds. A price-earnings ratio of 16 on higher-quality S&P earnings estimated to be $110-$120 this year leaves a lot of upside. You've heard much of this before.
The most comfortable stocks to own are those with an above-average yield and the prospect — almost a certainty for most — of dividend hikes. The need for income along with growth potential will drive stocks even higher this year, likely much higher than many believe until the Fed begins to end its market-boosting purchases and accommodation. Bottom line: There are better days ahead.

Slippery Rock Rockets
Coach (season, record): Jordan Wiegand (2nd season, 13-6-0)
2010 overall record: 13-6-0
2010 region record (place): 8-2-0 (co-champion)
2010 playoff results: Lost 1-0 to North East in the District 10 Class AA semifinals.
Top players lost: Scottie Laborie, Ken Tibbens, Cody Wolinski, J.J. Graham, Tyler Little
Top returning players: Brock Sloan, Braden Sloan, Cole McCandless, Quay Barnhart, Mike Stutz
Assistant coach: Austin Hawk
Outlook: Slippery Rock was once again in the mix for a District 10 championship last fall and has plenty of returning starters this season. The Rockets will need to replace all-region goalkeeper Tyler Little along with Scottie Laborie, Ken Tibbens, Cody Wolinski and J.J. Graham. Slippery Rock has several senior leaders back, including first-team all-region offensive players Braden and Brock Sloan. Junior Cole McCandless returns after being voted to the all-region second team in 2010 on offense. The Rockets have the offensive firepower to compete in the region but they need some help on defense and in goal. Quay Barnhart and Mike Stutz could contribute in a big way this season.

Assistant coach: Bill Zimmerman
Outlook: Slippery Rock had a solid 2010 season, including a region championship and a heart-breaking one-goal loss in the District 10 semifinals. The Rockets have almost every back from last year's team and could be a power once again this season. Slippery Rock will have to replace the offense left by graduate Molly Weitzel, a first-team all-region member. The Rockets have several all-region players back, including Danielle Wissinger, Jordan Marks, Morgan Siebka, Casey Dudek, Rachael Caldwell, Charlene Doerr and Hardley Boyd. A big key will be staying healthy this year but Slippery Rock should be a threat in the postseason once again.

China's latest, milestone making, space voyage is underway.
The June 16th liftoff of the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft placed into Earth orbit a three-person crew that included China's first female space traveler.
China's astronauts for the flight are: Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang and Liu Yang – China's first female astronaut. She is 33 years old, married and joined the Air Force in 1997. Liu was a veteran pilot with 1,680 hours of flying experience and the deputy head of a People's Liberation Army (PLA) flight unit before being recruited as a prospective astronaut in May 2010. She is now an Air Force major.
In an alignment of time and space, Liu becoming the first Chinese female into orbit also signaled a retrofire in space history.
Soviet Cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, was the first woman into Earth orbit – 49 years ago to the day of Liu's takeoff!
The objective of the mission is to rendezvous and dock with the already orbiting Tiangong-1—or Heavenly Palace-1 – experimental spacelab. This mission is seen as a stepping stone flight, one that leads to building a much larger space station complex.
The Tiangong-1was boosted into orbit in September 2011, with an unpiloted Shenzhou 8 docking with it twice in November.
Shortly after the Shenzhou 9 liftoff, Chang Wanquan, Chief Commander of China Manned Space Engineering Project announced that the Shenzhou 9 spaceship had accurately entered its orbit and the crew members were in good condition, calling the spaceship launch a great success.
Shenzhou 9 blasted off at from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi desert.
What's next?
Following two days of space travel, the Shenzhou 9 will accomplish auto rendezvous and docking with Tiangong-1 target vehicle.
When the complex is formed after the auto rendezvous and docking of Shenzhou 9 with Tiangong-1, the astronauts will enter into the experimental module of Tiangong-1 target vehicle through a docking passage and begin working and living there.
If all goes according to plan — in the middle phase of the flight of the complex — astronaut manual rendezvous and docking will be implemented.
First, the two vehicles will be separated. Then the astronauts will control the spaceship autonomously and realize manual rendezvous and docking with the target vehicle and form the complex again.
After finishing the scheduled missions, the two vehicles will be separated for a second time. The Shenzhou 9 spaceship will reenter to a landing site. The target vehicle will be maneuvered, back to a long-term operation orbit.
According to Chinese news reports, the entire mission of Shenzhou 9 is two weeks.

It has been a year since Qualcomm spent $3.1 billion to acquire Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip maker Atheros — announcing its intention to become a heavyweight in the fast-growing connectivity semiconductor market.
Yet in the past year, little has changed in the connectivity landscape, which involves semiconductors for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Near Field Communications, FM and other wireless technologies.
Irvine-based Broadcom remains the connectivity chip leader with strong market share in smartphones and tablets. It has 27 percent of the worldwide connectivity chip market, according to ABI Research.
Qualcomm-Atheros ranks second, thanks to its strength in GPS technology as well as Wi-Fi chips used in personal computers, routers and networks. It has 16 percent worldwide market share, says ABI Research.
But this status quo could shift as Qualcomm moves farther along in bringing Atheros into the fold, and both Qualcomm and Broadcom take aim at each other's strongest businesses.
With the Atheros deal, Qualcomm is bulking up on Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and other connectivity technologies to complement its core strength in cellular baseband chips that link mobile phones and tablets to 3G and 4G wireless networks.
Meanwhile, Broadcom has hundreds of engineers working on its 4G cellular baseband chip offerings to complement its strength in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity semiconductors, said Craig Berger, an analyst with FBR Capital Markets.
"Broadcom is not coming from an area of strength in cellular baseband, where Qualcomm is the 800-pound gorilla," said Berger. "But in combo connectivity, it's pretty much the opposite. Broadcom is the 800-pound gorilla."
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and other connectivity chips are expected to grow from an $8 billion market in 2011 to close to $40 billion by 2016, says ABI Research.
That growth is centered on smartphones, tablets and connected home devices, said Stacy Rasgon, an analyst with Bernstein Research.
"We expect smartphones and the proliferation of connected devices such as notebooks, tablets, personal navigation devices, handheld game players, TVs and set-top boxes to be a major boost to connectivity sales going forward, and to Wi-Fi sales in particular," he said.
Cellular carriers once viewed Wi-Fi as a threat. Now they are looking at it as a way to offload traffic from their congested cellular networks, say analysts. So almost every smartphone today supports Wi-Fi, up from 50 percent of smartphones three or four years ago, said Rasgon.
Tablets also are a big Wi-Fi market. "Almost all tablets are coming out with Wi-Fi now, and very few of them are sold with cellular capability," said Will Strauss, president of industry research firm Forward Concepts. "People are finding they simply can't afford to be connected to the cellular network and download" big files.
The connected home, where TVs, Blu-ray players, game consoles and other devices have embedded wireless connectivity, isn't big yet. But it's expected to expand fast.
"When we looked at this in 2011, total penetration of Wi-Fi into the connected home was maybe 5 percent," said Rasgon of Bernstein Research. "So these connected home devices represent a significant opportunity for Wi-Fi growth."
Qualcomm often cites the connected home as a key rationale for buying San Jose-based Atheros, which was the largest acquisition the San Diego wireless chip giant has completed to date.
"The smartphone market and tablet market are strong, which is good for Qualcomm," said Craig Barratt, president of Qualcomm Atheros. "But the strategy around buying Atheros was not just to have (connectivity) technology integrated into the phone. Qualcomm has already made a lot of progress there. It was more about entrance into these new markets."
Not that Qualcomm is ignoring Wi-Fi in smartphones and tablets. Earlier this year, it launched the S4 Snapdragon chip, which includes a powerful applications processor, 3G and 4G cellular modems, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth all on one chip.
"If Qualcomm's S4 platform dominates the market with integrated Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS, it is likely to be an increasing threat to other suppliers," said Peter Cooney, an analyst with ABI Research.
Berger, the FBR Capital analyst, hasn't seen any evidence of that happening yet, in part because of concerns over Wi-Fi performance on Qualcomm's integrated Snapdragon.
"There's clearly some concern among Broadcom investors that Wi-Fi/baseband integration is going to shrink the market," he said. "Qualcomm could take share, and those risks certainly do exist. But we're not seeing it with some of the legacy Wi-Fi solutions they embedded into their products."
The Wi-Fi on the all-in-one S4 Snapdragon came from Qualcomm's previous acquisitions and internal research, not from Atheros.
"They are moving toward bringing together the research and development road map between Qualcomm Wi-Fi and Atheros, and eventually they will be one in the same," said Rasgon, the Bernstein analyst. "But it takes time to do that."
Meanwhile, Broadcom is expected to introduce the latest version of fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi this year, while Qualcomm's version isn't expected to be available until 2013, analysts say.
In the end, Berger of FBR Capital believes that both Qualcomm and Broadcom will prosper as more and more devices come with wireless connectivity.
"Ultimately Broadcom and Qualcomm are the winners because they're both barreling down the path of the cellular system on a chip — a single chip with baseband, application processor, video processor and graphics, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM and GPS," he said.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

If you have an iPhone and don't already own iTM Pad this video will probably make you jump to the iTunes store to grab it. I wish I didn't sweat so much on stage (see: here) otherwise I would be using this live.
"I was on the iTunes App Store looking at iTouchMidi Pad by Silicon Studios, and reading the few-but-strong reviews, I bought it. It was mere moments afterward that I was firing up drum loops in Ableton Live, having a lot of fun mapping iTM Pad to various settings and mangling sounds.

The body of the man killed in a crash on Christmas Day in Melksham has been flown back to Lithuania.
Nerijus Partikas, 30, was a passenger in a Blue Audi A6 with four others when it hit a wall outside the Cooper Tires factory on Bath Road. The car left the road and collided side-on with the wall at 3.34am.
Mr Partikas lived in Melksham with other Lithuanian immigrants, but had no family in the UK. His family has been contacted through the Lithuanian embassy, who arranged for undertakers to come to the UK to collect his body.
He suffered a cardiac arrest at the scene and was revived by paramedics and volunteer doctors from Swift Medics, but later died at Frenchay Hospital after being cut from the car by Wiltshire Fire and Rescue service. The road was closed for six hours while police recovered the wreckage.
One other passenger from the crash is still in hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries and will remain there for some time, while the other three have all been released. All the passengers were foreign, but not all were from Lithuania.
The four men and one woman involved in the crash were returning home to Melksham after a night out in Chippenham. Wiltshire Police are still investigating the causes of the crash, and anyone who saw the Audi travelling into Melksham in the early hours is asked to contact PC Williamson of the serious collision investigation team on 101.

From chocolate to cotton candy and everything in between, one Missouri dairy continues to stretch the limit of flavored milk.
For its 10th anniversary, Shatto Milk Co. of Osborn, Mo., has announced plans for more flavors.
The first – Chocolate Cherry Milk – appeared with the word "smooch" printed on the bottle and delivered this week to area grocery stores. Just 2,000 of the glass bottles were produced.
"We wanted to thank all of our customers and do a fun thing for our anniversary," Barb Shatto told The Kansas City Star. "The smooch is the kiss we want to blow to all of our customers. We wouldn't be here without them."
The next festive flavor will be announced in March and have a St. Patrick's Day theme. Click here to read more from The Kansas City Star.
Shatto's dairy farming history dates back more than 60 years, but in 2003 the dairy began to process and bottle milk on premises.
Shatto is one of many milk producers across the country that is finding creative ways to jump-start interest in its products.
In addition to standard chocolate and strawberry, Shatto has added cotton candy, banana and orange creme to its flavored milk offerings.
In the fall of 2011, Shatto came out with coffee-flavored milk.
"It's been a big hit," Barb Shatto told Dairy Herd Network shortly after the coffee-flavored introduction. "It's been phenomenal, actually. Our sales, so far, have exceeded expectations," she adds.

Arriving at our Asheville Bed and Breakfast, guests often ask us about the stucco finish of our bed and breakfast. The more commonly seen smooth surface of stucco is, in this case, studded with small pebbles, giving it an unusual bumpy texture. This finish, known as "Pebble dash" is one of the historically significant features of the Arts and Crafts style Carolina Bed & Breakfast and while it is unique, it does present some challenges in repair and upkeep.
One of the most common questions we hear is, "How is it applied to the walls?" Well, we recently had to have one of the walls of our addition finished in pebble dash so that it would be consistent with the other homes in the Montford Historic District in which we live and of course I took lots of pictures!
But first, some history:
Pebble dash and its related finish, roughcasting, were imported to the United States from England in the mid-19th century. The development of Portland Cement in 1864 meant that builders now had cement of consistent quality and strength with which to work. Prior to this time, the very well-off could build houses of brick and stone while everyone else had to settle for wood or mud. People were fascinated with cement and began to experiment with textures and finishes. Pebble dash was quickly adopted by the Arts and Crafts movement as it offered texture, was seen as a traditional craft technique. In addition it was cost effective and fast to put up. Pebble dash and its cousin, Roughcasting, became the finish of choice for the upper middle class and naturally when Richard Sharp Smith came to Asheville to help with the building of the Biltmore, he brought this English-style stucco work with him. These homes, both in Biltmore Village and other historic areas are one of the unique aspects of Asheville architecture.
As the industrial revolution moved forward, new finishes and styles became prevalent and pebble dash largely fell out of favor. So when it was time for us to complete the exterior of our addition, we had to hire a specialist. The first thing we learned was that our house is not finished in pebble dash but rather roughcasting.
What's the difference? In both cases an initial layer of stucco (or "scratch layer") is applied and allowed to dry. After this has dried the two methods diverge. To create pebble dash, the stucco is applied and then the pebbles are literally thrown (or "dashed") onto the wall where they stick (one hopes) to the stucco. On a roughcast wall the pebbles are added to the cement and then the cement and pebbles are thrown against the wall in one application. Roughcasting is more commonly painted over as it provides a smoother finish while pebble dash is often left in it's rough form. In either case, it's a very messy job!

'Connolly will be treated with the most finesse. Having only appeared in a handful of games last season and with pressure mounting to fill the void left by the departure of last season's co-captains, his longevity during the regular season is the Sabres top priority. "The most important part before he plays is getting him healthy," said Ruff. "We're not going to stick him in a game just to get a game in. We have another week to get ready for the season. Unless he feels really good, my feeling is that we're not going to put him in the game."'

FORT WORTH, Texas—In a bizarre accident before Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race, a skydiver came close to landing on Kevin Harvick's car during a prerace show at Texas Motor Speedway.
"Never good when the day starts with a parachute weight hitting our car," Harvick said in a Twitter post with a photo that showed the dent. "Welcome to 2012."
While the skydiver avoided harm, a sandbag attached to the Texas flag that trailed behind him smashed into the driver's side door of Harvick's No. 29 Chevrolet, sitting on pit road before the AAA Texas 500.
It took about 30 minutes for the Richard Childress Racing team to repair the damage.
"He flew in a little too low," said Harvick crew chief Gil Martin, who was at the prerace driver and crew chief meeting when the accident happened. "Fortunately he didn't get hurt. It's a little bit of cosmetic damage we had to repair.
"It will be all right. It's not going to hurt how it drives."
Harvick will start 23rd.
His car was pushed to the garage, fixed and ready about 90 minutes before the green flag scheduled for 3:19 p.m. ET.
NASCAR officials watched the RCR crew make repairs. Harvick's car was not jacked up and the hood was not opened, so it did not have to go through additional inspection.
Repairs though were needed for the dented door.
"It definitely would have [affected the car] because it opened up some of the seams … and the car would have had air leaks right there," Martin said. "(NASCAR) gave us enough time to fix it like we needed to.
"It's no worse for the wear. The guy is all right, so it's all good."
It was just a bizarre incident in a rough season for the winless Harvick team.
"This just caps it off right here," said Martin, who replaced Shane Wilson as crew chief in August. "So maybe something really good will come out of this. We got a lot of good publicity so sponsors ought to like it."

In the days where tall, wooden ships sailed the high seas, there was this one ship sailing during a war.
That morning, the lookout shouted, "enemy ship on the horizon."
The captain said to his ensign, "Get me my red shirt."
The ensign, rather bewilder ed from this odd request, did as his captain ordered. Thought he battle was a long one, the captain and his crew managed to fend off the enemy ship.
Later that day, the lookout shouted, "two enemy ships on the horizon." As before, the captain said to his ensign, "Get me my red shirt." And, as before, the ensign did as his captain asked.
The battle took the rest of the day to fight, and managed to defeat the two enemy ships.
That evening, the ensign asked his captain, "Sir, Why, before every battle, do you ask for your red shirt." The captain replied, "Well, if I am wounded in battle, the blood will not show and the crew will continue to fight."
The crew was listening, and they were impressed. They had a brave captain. The next morning, the lookout shouted, "Ten enemy ships on the horizon." The ensign looked at his captain, waiting for the usual orders.
The captain said to his ensign, "Ensign, get me my brown pants."

Topic: RE: Jeff - 1st Chemo Infusion today - Oxaliplatin with Xeloda pills
Jeff had his first chemo infusion today @ UCLA. It was Oxaliplatin. He will take the Xeloda pills tonight with dinner. It has only been a couple of hours since the infusion and no side effects yet but I understand it is still pretty early. We are watching him closely, especially because he doesn't usually complain about anything (except LA traffic getting home from Santa Monica at rush hour).
We have arranged for a consultative opinion with Dr. Rick Selby at USC within the next couple of weeks. We are trying to get the OK through insurance. We are also trying to make sure that all of the records and testing information gets to his office. Thank you again, Mark and Jeannemarie for your encouraging story with respect to the USC surgery.
Jeff is also scheduled for an upper and lower GI (endoscopy) coming up in a week. I am dreading the procedure preparation for Jeff (having gone through that myself).

Hi Retro
What did you mean by the 'come and see' aspect of the dhamma being appealing in the west?
rowyourboat wrote:What did you mean by the 'come and see' aspect of the dhamma being appealing in the west?
In addition, my own experience in Australia has been that such distinctions are losing their meaning as the East becomes Westernized and the West becomes Easternized. The debate between 'cultural Asian' Buddhism versus 'secular western' Buddhism is, to my mind, an artifact of the first generation of Western Buddhists, and has no relevance to the young Buddhists I encounter regularly. ...
I agree completely with Susan that the Sangha will be an essential inspiration for emerging Buddhism in the West; and also that the existing Sangha is in serious need of reform. This need for reform is not just a 'Western' outsider's point of view, but is desperately felt among serious practitioners in traditional Buddhist countries. However the manner of that reform should be what Buddhists have done throughout history: go back to the original teachings, investigate what the Buddha himself taught, and seek for ways to apply that in our present context. This demands a serious commitment to the study of early Buddhism, not just 'tossing' out what we don't want.

My local neighborhood coffee shop, Farley's, has several glass display cases where they display interesting collections (art, antique and vintage stuff, or just plain weird stuff - this is San Francisco after all).
The way it works is that Roger, the proprietor, invites people he knows to "program" the window cases for a month, starting on the first of the month. He got to know me and I offered to do an antique phone display, shown here. People apparently liked it enough that I got extended for an additional month! (either that or he just couldn't find someone else...)
In case you can't read the handwritten note in the 4th photo, it says, "For more information please contact the Potrero rotary club." :)

Investing in Prisons Over Education is not Being Smart on Crime
What does it mean to be "tough on crime"? Does "toughness" depend on how many people we imprison? Or should the indicator be whether our society combats crime at its root? Current policies point directly at the former option, but we need to be smarter on crime.

Head outside for a winter walk and gather nature items. (See list above.)
Arrange the collected objects inside the molds or muffin pan. Pour water over them.
For the hangers, place the ends of a strip of ribbon in the water in each mold.
Carefully move the molds outside to freeze. (If the temperature is above 32°F, put them in your freezer instead.)
After the water has frozen, remove the ornaments from the molds. (If they won't come out easily, run some warm water over the bottom to loosen.)
Hang the ornaments outside on tree branches.
You can also add fruit slices, sunflower seeds, nuts, and dried corn kernels to your ornaments. As the temperature rises, the ornaments will start to melt. Some of the treasures inside will make tasty treats for the birds in your neighborhood!
