Fresh Picks for a Stellar Start to 2013
On Wednesday -- on the back of the completion of some sort of "fiscal cliff" deal -- the major U.S. indices surged more than 2% across the board. It was one of the biggest rallies for stocks since the market bottom in March 2009. I think the action was a bit overdone, as the nation has still done little to address its long-term deficit problems, and many battles lie ahead in the coming months. But it sure was nice to start 2013 with such a great day in the market.
By nature I am a cautious, contrarian investor. So, ordinarily, I would outline the reasons I believe the market overreacted, and I'd profile a couple of cheap equities that look OK to pick up during the inevitable ensuing pullback. However, I'll be doing something a little different in today's column and let the positive vibe of the New Year takes us in a slightly more optimistic direction....525 more words left in this article.

CHILDREN said it with flowers to help celebrate Yorkshire Day.
Youngsters made paper roses and decorated letters to spell out Yorkshire.
Over 70 people attended today's event, at Central Hall in Keighley.
Other attractions included painting, a quiz, toy building bricks and a bouncy castle.
KIVCA, which organised the extravaganza, said it was delighted with the response.
Development manager, Julie Lintern, told us: "Following on from the huge success of the Tour de France when it came to the county last month, and the pride it generated, we wanted to do something to build on that and to celebrate Yorkshire Day.
"It also gave us a chance to promote the many free activities that are available to people on their own doorsteps and to showcase the fantastic facilities on offer at Central Hall, which we want to be used as a family venue. A lot of people who came along were visiting the building for the first time."
Inclusion development worker, Penny Wangari-Jones, added: "The event brought together people of all ages and helped keep the children entertained. It went very well."
Yorkshire Day was also celebrated elsewhere in the district.
At Haworth Visitor Information Centre, people had the chance to taste food donated by local businesses.
There was also a Yorkshire-themed quiz and a craft activity.

Book a flight to Aberdeen with Qatar Airways and you'll be one step closer to exploring one of the UK's most exciting cities. Surrounded by romantic, rugged countryside, Aberdeen is steeped in history and its cultural heritage is evident in the stunning architecture.
However, this vibrant location is far from stuck in the past; Aberdeen boasts all the 21st Century amenities you'd expect to find in a modern metropolis, from excellent shopping to superb restaurants. Book a flight to Aberdeen and discover why it's known as the Granite City, or the Silver City with the Golden Sands.
With its rich history stretching back over nearly two millennia, Aberdeen is a hot-spot for those with an interest in the past. When it comes to exploring castles, visitors are spoilt for choice, as there are over 300 to visit, ranging from fairy-tale style strongholds to rugged ruins. No trip to Aberdeen would be complete without a visit to Balmoral, but it's also worth taking some time to visit Craigievar Castle which is thought be the inspiration behind Walt Disney's signature castle, featured at the beginning of all Disney movies.
Beyond shining granite buildings of the city itself you'll find a bounty of open spaces. The Cairngorms National Park is the largest nature reserve in the British Isles and its ancient forests and towering mountains are home to a fantastic array of wildlife. However, if you'd prefer to soak up some man-made architecture, be sure that your trip to Aberdeen includes a visit to the grand, Gothic structures of Marischal Museum or the 13th Century Brig o' Balgownie.
Enjoy awarding winning service from Melbourne to Beirut with Qatar Airways. Including delicious gourmet cuisine and the attention of our highly trained and attentive crew throughout your journey, so that you arrive in Beirut feeling refreshed.
East meets West in this thrilling city, once known as the Paris of the Middle East. It's a city of high fashion and has some of the best entertainment venues, restaurants and shopping precincts in the region. Modern Beirut has risen from the ashes of a turbulent recent past and now offers visitors a truly exciting and invigorating experience.
Gastronomic excellence is something of a national pastime in Scotland and Aberdeen houses some of the best restaurants in the UK. Whether you're after a taste of traditional Scottish fare, a fine-dining experience or some international cuisine, you're never far from fantastic food.
No visit to Aberdeen is complete without a sample of the national dish: Haggis. Haggis is a boldly-spiced meal, served in many forms. Traditionally, it appears as a large, round sausage and has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour. However, you may find some restaurants serving it as smaller, deep-fried 'bon bons'.
In addition to Aberdeen's famous bread known as Aberdeen Buttery, you can also enjoy fresh fish from the North Sea and delicious Aberdeen Angus beef dishes, served in the many restaurants of George Street, one of the most multicultural parts of the city.
A traditional Scottish breakfast may well feature kippers. These are herrings, which have been salted in brine and smoked over woodchips, before being grilled, fried or served cold.
If you're travelling to Aberdeen with shopping in mind, then you've made an excellent choice. The city is packed with everything from high-end designer stores and chic boutiques to quirky gift shops tucked away down winding, cobbled streets.
To find the latest goods head over to Union Square, which is where you'll find plenty of designer clothes and upmarket electrical goods. For something quirkier, the Aberdeen International Street Market is a great place to hunt out examples of local craftsmanship and even some fresh, local produce supplied by farmers.
When you book a flight to Aberdeen with Qatar Airways you will travel on a Qatar Airways operated flight to London Heathrow or Manchester and connect to Aberdeen with our partner airlines.
Flights to Aberdeen will arrive at Aberdeen International Airport, which is about five miles from the city centre. It is well served by taxis and there are plenty of car-hire facilities should you wish to drive yourself. In addition, there are a number of buses and trains running to and from the airport.
Visa restrictions for entry into the country will depend on your country of origin, length of stay and whether your trip is for business or pleasure. So before you fly to Aberdeen please check the visa and passport requirements.

Postconditioning in ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (POSTEMI)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Study objectives: To assess the effects of postconditioning on infarct size in patients with ST-elevation infarction referred to PCI.
Study design: Prospective, randomized, open-label study with blinded endpoint evaluation. Included patients will be randomly allocated to postconditioning or control. Patients with symptoms of acute myocardial infarction of less than 6 hours duration fulfilling ECG criteria for primary PCI are eligible. PCI follow established routines. In postconditioning patients, additional, short (1 min), intermittent balloon occlusions will be applied after initial opening of infarct related artery. After this intervention, PCI proceeds routinely with stent implantation. In the control group, stent implantation after initial opening proceeds as usual. Primary endpoint is final infarct size, determined by MRI after 4 months. 260 patients will be included. Follow-up is 1 year. Inclusion period: 18 - 24 months.
Clinical implications: Reperfusion therapy, administered as early as possible after start of symptoms, has improved the prognosis in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Still, however, many patients suffer large infarctions, subsequently with an increased risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and death. In pilot studies, mechanical postconditioning has been shown to reduce infarct size and thus potentially improve prognosis. However, the effect of postconditioning must be confirmed in larger clinical trials before implemented in routine treatment.
|Myocardial Infarction
|Procedure: Postconditioning Procedure: Control intervention
|Study Type:
|Study Design:

- Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular function including speckle-tracking measurement. [ Time Frame: assessed at baseline, 4 months and1 year ]Assesment of LV function. Comparison with CMR in the whole study population and between treatment groups.
- Incidence of treated arrhythmias and heart failure during initial hospitalization Incidence of death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease [ Time Frame: 1-year follow up. ]
- Myocardial salvage [ Time Frame: Baseline to 4 months ]Myocardial salvage defined as (area at risk-final infarct size)/area at risk. Area at risk measured by CMR at baseline and final infarct size by CMR at 4 months.
|Study Start Date:
|June 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2013
|Primary Completion Date:
|August 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Postconditioning
Active arm:Postconditioning protocol before routine PCI/stenting of an occluded coronary artery
Procedure: Postconditioning
After opening of IRA and establishment of TIMI-flow grade 2 or 3, the control group continues the procedure with stenting. In the postconditioning group 4 additional balloon inflations separated by 1 minute reperfusion are given, starting after 1 minute of reperfusion.
Control arm: Routine PCI/stenting of an occluded coronary artery without postconditioning
Procedure: Control intervention
After opening of IRA and establishment of TIMI-flow grade 2 or 3, the control group continues the procedure with stenting.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- acute symptoms consistent with an acute myocardial infarction of less than 6 hours duration
- an occluded infarct related artery must be demonstrated (TIMI-flow 0-1)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior myocardial infarction
- Demonstration of collaterals to the infarcted area
- TIMI-flow >1 before intervention or TIMI-flow <2 after initial balloon inflation
- Demonstration of a distal occlusion

FLINT, Mich. — Regardless of the outcome of Republican presidential primaries in Michigan and Arizona on Tuesday, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum appear headed for a showdown next week in Ohio.
Both candidates plan to dash there later this week, and they and their allies already are spending heavy levels of money on advertising in the Buckeye State.
It's one of 10 that vote a week from Tuesday, with 419 delegates at stake of 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. Beyond Ohio, Romney was looking to contests in the West while Santorum focuses on the South.
Rival Newt Gingrich is working to make his stand in his home state of Georgia and nearby Southern states. Ron Paul also plans events in upcoming states.

SOUTH Wales Rugby League Conference champions Torfaen Tigers will travel to 2013 Harry Jepson Trophy, London Premier League and Cup treble winners South-West London Chargers in the First Round of the Tetley's Challenge Cup.
The game will be played on the weekend of February 1st/2nd.
It is Torfaen's debut in the Challenge Cup in what will be the 61st tie in the competition to feature a Welsh side.
North Wales Crusaders and South Wales Scorpions enter the competition in the Third Round with Super League sides starting in the Fourth.
Torfaen Tigers chairman Rob Davies said: "We knew there'd be no easy games. Obviously being a young club themselves no Welsh side has played them before but their two predecessors Storm and Sharks were strong outfits.
"Chargers are reigning Harry Jepson Trophy champions so to travel to them is going to be tough but the boys have been working hard in the gym over Christmas and are all chomping at the bit to get into it.
"All in all I think everyone is excited and nervous in equal measures."

I have come up a nice list of who i believe which diva/knockout's potential would shine the most if they worked for the rival company.
1. Natalya to Impact Wrestling
Natalya's moveset is too good for the Divas Division and can be utilized more against the professionals on Impact. Natalya is a dominant woman without a doubt and deserves better competition.

Excerpted from Powerful Interactions: How to Connect With Children to Extend Their Learning (pgs. 16, 36, 45, 77, 117) | by Amy Laura Dombro, Judy Jablon, and Charlotte Stetson
Emotional intelligence is the ability to tune in to your own emotions and the emotions of other people. Having emotional intelligence helps you know which of your emotions will help support the child you are trying to reach, and which emotions to set aside (e.g., your tension about not having forms ready for your director or your anger at your spouse). (pg. 16)
You may worry that when you sit quietly beside a child, other adults may think you're not doing your job. Talking with colleagues about the importance of slowing down and staying in the moment can help them understand what you're doing. (pg. 36)
Listen to Children
Pay attention to children to discover what they are saying with their words or body language, and let them know you have heard them. (pg. 45)
When you are just getting started with Powerful Interactions, it's easier to practice them with one child at a time. However, as they become more a part of how you teach, you'll discover that at times, you can have Powerful Interactions with more than one child at once. (pg. 77)
Laugh with Children
Look for playful ways to interact with children — sing silly songs, read funny books and rhymes, and redirect challenging behavior with humor. (pg. 117)
Excerpted from Powerful Interactions: How to Connect With Children to Extend Their Learning, by A.L. Dombro, J. Jablon, and C. Stetson, 16, 36, 45, 77, 117. 2011. Copyright © National Association for the Education of Young Children.

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
well we have a lot to talk about tonight. TINS lost this game for us, I know some won't agree, but all those bad shots and not passing is just stupid.
Avatar photo credit: Bahram Mark Sobhani - AP
Another game showing that we need a closer or at least another guard that Tinsley has some confidence in to pass the ball.
wow jamaal tryed to get the and1 by creating contact...and he completely blew the layup...great
That last layup summed it up. He tried for the foul too, all we needed was the points.
I was ready for Josh Smith to go to Indiana, but he went to the NBA. I am ready for him to come to Indiana once again.
Coach of the ****ing year.
We have taken 11 shots in ot 10 by tins.
ARRRRGHHHHH! When will this stupidity stop! What a waste of energy.
Avatar photo credit: Bahram Mark Sobhani - AP
And the other one off of a tip in by tins!
I love the way we interview the winning team, stupid.
Avatar photo credit: Bahram Mark Sobhani - AP
I wasn't ripping him. My comment was more of a knock on Dunleavy/Granger.
I know I was addressing everyone who will blame Jamaal for the loss even though he was a major reason we were ever even in the game to begin with. Your post was just the first one to pop up.
I'll leave it at that and comment in the "Trade Jamaal Tinsley" thread tomorrow.
I'll rip Tinsley and JOB.
That was an awful display of basketball by JT, and by JOB not pulling him... or at least ripping him a new one... he condoned that pathetic display.
I'd rather lose by running some offense than seeing one of the worst shooters in the NBA decide to take over the game. It's not like he was the hot hand.
How can this team develop chemistry?
He should be suspended for the next game.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
He ALWAYS tries to be the hero but fails almost every time!
Sorry but there is no excuse for it ... and to all the Jamaal fans who like to defend him
Maceo Baston's #1 fan on Pacers Digest!
Trying hard is fine, no fault in that. But when your trying hard is not being productive, its time to go anothet route.
Tinsley doesn't play we don't even have a chance in the end...
^^ Not true at all.
Without Tinsley we actually would have had a chance to win this one!
Maceo Baston's #1 fan on Pacers Digest!
Man you've been a Tins supporter the past two or three weeks.
Right now I am trying to look for positives in everything we do. First thing first, we lost.
The game was very encouraging to me for the most part because Indy hung with Phoenix, one of the best offensive teams in the league and ran with them. They played good d at times and gave the necessary hard fouls when needed to.
Some of our role players sparked it up tonight. Diener looked good until the injury, that is just bad luck. SWill looked smooth at both ends and finished well around the basket with both hands. Dun, Granger, Rush and Daniels were more involved. Murphy had a good game at both ends.I think Tinsley tried to do too much at the end because of that lack of JO, whether it was real or self-pressured over-extending himself. We hung with the runningist team in the NBA and almost took them at their home court.
We're talking baby steps here folks. I still believe JO needs to be traded for both sides to get a fresh start. The other guys that need to be purged could wait until the end of the season.

According to the USDA's latest Livestock, Dairy and Poultry report, Corn prices were reduced slightly on the upper end of the projected price range from February in the March USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report.
Corn prices are forecast at $6.75-$7.45 per bushel. Soybean meal prices were lowered from February to $425-$445 per ton in March. Although record-high at the beginning of the year, forage prices are likely to moderate in the se cond half of 2013.
The number of dairy cows was raised from last month's estimate. Despite a poor milk-feed price ratio, January cow numbers were higher than expected. Forecast cow numbers were raised from last month for the first half of 2013 and lowered from last month for the second half of the year.
The U.S. dairy herd is expected to average 9,195 thousand cows for 2013, a contraction from 2012 but higher than February's forecast. Output per cow was raised slightly to 21,960 pounds, based on higher milk per cow in the first quarter.
The most recent Milk Production report showed slightly higher year-over-year milk per cow in January for the 23 surveyed States. As a result of the higher milk per cow and a slightly higher average herd size than earli er forecast, 2013 milk production was raised to 201.9 billion pounds. The net additional milk output will help keep a lid on milk prices and continue pressure on producer margins.
Both fat and skims-solids basis imports were unchanged this month; at 4.0 and 5.4 billion pounds respectively. Fat basis exports were raised to 9.4 billion pounds based on likely butter exports through the first part of 2013, but the exports are expected to flag toward the end of 2013. Skims-solids exports were raised to 34.4 billion pounds for the year.
The increase is predicated on expected nonfat dry milk (NDM) exports. The apparent unfolding drought conditions in New Zealand could support greater U.S. exports later this spring if they continue into New Zealand's next marketing year. U.S. NDM stocks appear ample for filling any gap resulting from New Zealand 's drought.
Year-end stocks on both a fat and a skims-solids basis were unchanged from last month. However, second-quarter ending stocks were raised slightly based on lower expected domestic disappearance.
Skims-solids stocks were raised for the first quarter based on greater NDM stocks that are expected to decline as NDM exports accelerate later in the year. Cheese prices have been lowered in March to $1.710-$1.770 per pound as production increases, but demand is expected to remain steady. The same supply-demand fundamentals apply to whey prices, which were lowered to 60.0-63.0 cents per pound.
Butter prices are forecast at $1.540-$1.630 per pound, unchanged from last month. NDM prices were raised from last month to $1.505 to $1.555 per pound based on the export outlook for later in 2013. The Class III price is forecast at $17.55-$18.15 per cwt based on lower cheese and whey prices. The Class IV price is raised to $17.35-$18.05 per cwt as a higher export forecast supports butter and NDM prices.
The all milk price is projected at $19.00-$19.60 per cwt, little changed from last month. Despite greater milk production forecast in March, stronger exports are expec ted to support the projected all milk price at close to February's forecast and above the 2012 all milk price.

He was 3rd in the voting, he was 2nd best on the Pacers when Ronnie was at his best IMO (of course before he - whichever one you want to refer to - completely lost it)
Good points. I hate being a JO apologist but here I go again. You really cannot compare the minutes and games played that David West and JO have logged in their careers. Seventeen years of professional basketball is a really long time. You can't compare college years with pro years even if he didn't log a lot of minutes in his first 3 seasons. With all the offseason summer leagues, practices, shoot arounds, traveling, and games envolved it just doesn't compare to the NBA. Those first 4 years of JOs career were much harder than David West's 4 years of college ball.
Secondly, he's had way more injuries than David West. JO's had shoulder surgery, at least 2 knee surgeries (one with the Pacers and one with the Celtics that I could confirm) and left wrist surgery last year. I think the biggest mistake he made was trying to play through that knee injury during the year after the brawl. If he had just had surgery on his knee then instead of trying to play the next year and a half through the injury he might have been more effective. Still 3 years ago, since you brought it up, he averaged 13.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks with the Heat. Those numbers are better than David West's averages from last year.
Even with all the injuries and baggage, he's a decent backup Center that hasn't missed many games this year due to injury.
6.4 4.1 1.2 15.62
Compare that to Ian Mahinmi:
5.3 3.9 1.0 11.56
Compared to Tyler Hansbrough:
6.5 4.1 0.3 14.10
There's not a lot of difference between those players but I think JO could easily take on Tyler's role alongside Mahinmi and improve our bench defensively. If it doesn't happen, I don't really care but if we swapped JO for Tyler I don't think we'd miss a beat and we might be slightly better.

And you think that doesn't happen for college players, or something?
I would bet that NBA players practice less than college players, because of how many more actual games they play. Basketball is a full time job for college players, and most good high school players. The NBA hardship hasn't really changed all that much. Players are breaking down much easier/faster, not because what they go through in the NBA, but because of what they go through to get to the NBA. AAU is probably the biggest reason for it all, because of how many games you play.
Playing 6-7 games in a weekend takes a toll on your body, even as a 17year old. I cannot express just how god awful it really is to go through. Playing is the best thing in the world, what comes after is the worst. I'm not even 27 yet, and I crack everytime I get up out of a chair. It really does take a toll.
West wasn't a big time AAU player, which is probably a reason why he's much healthier later in life. That and no one can question the manner at which he takes care of himself phsyically. You can just look at him and know he treats his body like a temple.

I fall on both sides of the fence.
I loved JO, and still love what he brought to this franchise. Minus the bickering and the fake tough guy act.
I will admit, though, I was leary when he traded for JO (and I loved both Davis brothers, though I like Antonio more then Dale back then) and I can understand where people did not have a lot of confidence in his game.
That said, and as much as Peck does not want to admit it happened, JO had an AMAZING year the year he was in MVP contention, and he finished the year off showing the characteristics one would want in a leader by shooting those FT's hoping to come back in the game.
It is just a shame his contract did not work out, and IMO that is just as much his fauly as it is TPTB
My .02
It's a moot point regardless. JO's knee woes had more to do with genetics and less about supposed "mileage". Just like in the case of Brandon Roy, Jonathan Bender, Chris Webber, etc.
West had his own knee problem but that was because of a bad physical injury, not because of developing scar tissue/drainage or degenerative knees.
I mean using that logic, David Ortiz kept himself in better shape than Don Mattingly, different sport but still.

Regarding the dust up in Phoenix... it looks like several people are upset with the Alvin Gentry firing and hiring of Lindsey Hunter. Dan Majerle and Elston Turner both left the team unannounced after Lindsey Hunter was hired. They literally stopped coming to practice. It seems there are several people upset with the "mutual" split with Gentry and with the GM Lance Blanks.
Blanks chose Hunter over Suns assistants Dan Majerle and Elston Turner, among others. Neither Majerle nor Turner showed up for any of the practices since Hunter was hired. Majerle, a former Suns star player and one of the most popular sports figures in the Phoenix area, has let it be known he won't be back. Turner is a highly-respected assistant who has interviewed for at least four NBA head coaching jobs, including the one in Phoenix when Mike D'Antoni left for the New York Knicks. Turner almost certainly has left his Suns job for good, too.
After practice on Tuesday, Hunter said he wasn't sure of the status of Majerle and Turner but he certainly spoke as if he knew they wouldn't be rejoining the team.
"I understand their situation,'' Hunter said. "As an aspiring coach this is what you want to do in life and it's disappointing when you don't get an opportunity. I definitely understand and my heart goes out to both of those guys and I wish them the best in whatever they do next.''
Igor Kokoskov, a Suns assistant who also was interviewed for the interim job, will be Hunter's lead assistant.
"He's more of the opposite of me. He's an offensive guy,'' Hunter said. "We need those guys, unfortunately, in basketball. You need an offensive guy. I'm a defensive guy. So it's sort of balanced.''
Other than that, Hunter wasn't sure which of the remaining personnel would be on the bench as assistant coaches in Sacramento.
"We're just trying to get some stability and find out what's what,'' Hunter said, "and all of those things will be hashed out.''
Phoenix also didn't have center Jermaine O'Neal in practice on Wednesday. Hunter said he didn't' know why, but that it was a medical condition. It's common knowledge that O'Neal didn't think much of the coaching change.

Jermaine was never the same after he had to bulk up and play center. His knees couldn't take it. Its ashame because he was such a great player before the injuries. I still have my JO jersey and will never get rid of it. He's my second favorite Pacer of all time behind Reggie.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Let me say this... Even if JO could help the bench, and that is a BIG, BIG IF, I see him doing nothing but hurting the lockerroom. He's gone and we are better for it IMHO.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
Surprised Peck did not ban me for what I said in my last post
FWIW, if JO comes back I hope it is on a one day contract (does the NBA even do that?) and retires.

I purchased my Compaq Presario CQ61 over two years ago. It is a very solid and sturdy laptop, nothing has broken or fallen off. It has a full size keyboard which coupled with its 15.6 inch screen makes it very user friendly. Although it is a larger notebook than many others it still has a very sleek, attractive, glossy black finish. The touchpad (mouse) is a very good size and easy to use. I only use it for work and surfing the internet and the processing speed easily handles this. It is also very fast at loading up, much quicker than my desktop PC.
The main problem I have is the battery life. Very quickly its maximum battery life dropped and now it barely lasts an hour before I have to plug in the charger. It will charge up within an hour, which is fine when close to a socket, but very inconvenient in other situations. Also the screen is excellent quality when viewed from directly in front but move above or to the side and it is very difficult to view. Not an issue when working but awkward if you are watching a film with another person.
It comes with Windows 7 which I have found very easy to use, although I have always used Windows in the past. It is also compatible with wireless networks and comes with a built in webcam.
If you are looking for a very easy to use laptop at a good price then you won't go wrong with this one. Suitable for all ages and excellent for work or students.
This is a great laptop. Around the side is has 3 USB ports, a HDMI output, and a port for a Wired Connection. It runs Windows 7 and has great graphics and the sound quality is good. It looks quite good and is made to a great standard and quality. The webcam is good and the track pad works very well. It is very easy to use and it boots up and loads very quickly. It doesn't have a lot of RAM (2GB), and not a lot of Hard drive either (250GB). However, it is still very good for playing games and roaming the internet with its bright screen and great Wi-Fi. The battery life is good, lasting about 4 hours on a full charge.
Good Things - It is easy to move about and very user friendly. It is quite scratch resistant. It is quite cheap, although I wouldn't say it was great value for money. It has 3 USB ports and you can hook it up with a HD Ready TV very easily.
Bad Things - It doesn't provide lots of RAM or Hard drive.
Overall, I would recommend it for people who want a laptop just to go on the internet, and not who want to download games and save music and pictures.
I got this laptop after my Toshiba ones DVD drive stopped working. I was reluctant to pay the £20 extra at first but i didnt have a choice really. So, i got home and opened up the box and the first thing i noticed was the laptop is very beautiful in its design. When i turned it on, the initial setup was fast and easy. The 250gb hard drive is ideal for me because i use the laptop for college work, storing music, photos and movies. A couple of days after i bought the laptop, i decided to install a few games (Grand theft auto san andreas and rollercoaster tycoon 3). I thought the games would look average and be a little bit laggy but i was wrong, they both run perfectly well on the highest graphics settings available. Very happy with this laptop to say the least
**About Compaq**
The company named Compaq does not exist anymore since 2002, but the brand name does. The original company name is "Compaq Computer Cooperation". The company originally started as a computer manufacturer, located in the USA. But since 2002 the company was taken over by another famous computer company named Hewlett Packard (which you probably know from its LaserJet/inkjet printers and it computers.
Compaq was founded in 1982 by Ron Canio, Bill Murto and Jim Harris. The name of the company means "compatibility and quality". In 1983 Compaq launched the first portable computer, and this computer broke all selling records and became a major hit. During the nineties the company was the first one selling computers for less than 1000 dollars. Because of their lower prices a price-war started between Compaq and the other computer companies, IBM and Packard Bell.
Nowadays Compaq as a brand is still known for it reasonable priced products and their good quality. Compaq/Hewlett Packard also sell monitors, mini laptops and computer accessories.
**Compaq Presario CQ61 310 SA**
We bought this laptop through a Dutch online shop named Modern. Because we were looking for a nicely styled but affordable laptop we soon bumped into this Compaq CQ61. We paid 410 Euros for this laptop and I have to say that was a reasonable price for all this laptop has to offer. In Pounds you'll pay around 369 Pounds. On the International Compaq website there is a higher price displayed but I guess some looking around and comparing can save you a lot of money! Because I have bad vision I needed a big screen, and this laptop has a 15.6 inch screen which is big and perfect for me!

**Does it work fast enough?**
I hate it when my computer is slow. I don't have any patience. Luckily for me, this laptop is quicker than I thought it would be. It starts within 45 seconds, and when I shut it down that also only takes between 30-40 seconds. Reading a cd/dvd quickly as well. Speed is pretty nice I have to say!
**My overall opinion**
This laptop isn't too expensive and offers a wide range of possibilities. The 4 GB is more than enough disk space for me, but it is useful to know 4 extra GB can be added to the laptops system. I like the stylish look of this laptop. The combination of black/silver really makes it worth looking at. The lid closes smoothly and with a little click and is easy to open as well. The only disadvantage of this laptop is the fact that it is quite heavy. But well, not that big of a deal to me I guess (cause I do need a big screen, so I will always buy a heavier laptop). Great laptop for daily use, good graphic elements and cool design!
The Compaq CQ61 laptop is great for any first time laptop buyers
i luckily got mine free with a mobile broadband dongle so will just give my views on the laptop after using it for 2 months.
The specifications of this laptop are great maybe not so if you are a gamer as some games i have tried work but on minimal settings.
The hard drive is adequate for students giving you plenty of room for work.
This laptop is also great for teens and is child friendly as it has a user interface overlay called desktop wizard which is just like windows but is for children, has limited access to web, contains games, colouring activities and more.
The screen on the laptop is brilliant very clear crisp images and a nice size of 15.6 inches
I have never had issues with the wifi dropping out so this laptop can hold a good signal even in my neighbours home.
If you are looking for a semi-cheap laptop with great specifications and great functions then look no thurther as this is great for all round use. but as i say if you are a hardcore gamer this isn't for you.
This compaq machine is the perfect laptop for beginners and computer experts too, like most compaqs it is very easy to use and has enough power in its sempron processor to handle most applications. The main advantage of this machine is that it has the new Windows 7 operating system which has taken over Vista (thank god). Windows 7 makes the most of the computers ability by being much faster and more economical than its Vista brothers and sisters. Also Windows 7 is much easier to use and get to grips with. The ATI Radeon graphics are a good quality for a computer of this price and with the DVD drive and wireless built in it is a very tempting purchase. Personally i would go with one of the new AMD Vision processor ranges instead of the sempron, as this will give the whole experience of using a this laptop a lift. This is a great all in one laptop!

HENRIETTA TOWNSHIP -- One man remains in critical condition more than a day after being injured in a three-vehicle accident on SR 113 Friday evening.
Michael Durkalec, 41, of Wakeman, was listed in "critical condition" last night at MetroHealth Medical Center where he was flown following the crash near the intersection of SR 113 and Gifford Road about 6 p.m.
Brent Leimbach, 33, of Amherst, was listed in fair condition yesterday. Highway patrol said Leimbach did not have life-threatening injuries at the time of the crash, but that Durkalec was in an extremely critical condition.
A third man, Timothy O'Brien, 43, of Wakeman, was not injured.
According to highway patrol, Durkalec was westbound in a 2005 Subaru Forester when he failed to stop behind a Ford F-350 dump truck. He attempted to pass it, side swiped the rear driver's side and then hit Leimbach's Ford F-150 head-on, highway patrol said.
The Subaru came to rest in the middle of the roadway and Leimbach ended up in a yard off the south side of the road.
O'Brien said he saw both vehicles go airborne.
Leimbach had to be extricated from his truck.
The crash remains under investigation and no additional information was available yesterday, highway patrol said.

A former youth basketball coach was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison Tuesday (February 18) in White Plains, N.Y. after pleading guilty to three counts of predatory sexual assault of a child.
Richard Dinizo, 59, tricked three elementary schoolgirls into performing sexual acts on camera, later blaming his behavior on Chinese nutritional supplements that he claims increased his libido.
Lohud.com reported on the Dinizo case, highlighting the harrowing details of the case. Although Dinizo never coached the girls, two 7-year-olds and a 10-year-old, he managed to get access to them after meeting the girls at his daughter's birthday party. Lohud.com has more.
From Lohud.com:
Prosecutors said that Dinizo, who coached girls basketball for nearly two decades, convinced the girls to perform sex acts for more than two years, at times filming them with multiple cameras. Dinizo met some of them through his daughter, including at his young daughter's birthday party.
None of the victims — two 7-year-olds and a 10-year-old — were players that Dinizo coached. Officials said he convinced the girls they were playing a "tasting game" at his home, having them wear a mask that covered their eyes and prevented them from being aware of the sex acts.
Dinizo is still facing federal child pornography charges, and has lost everything in the wake of his crimes coming to light. According to prosecutors, Dinizo's family, including his wife and daughter, are no longer in contact with him.
Naturally, Dinizo's lawyer gamely tried to defend his client, although the explanation falls under the "he needs more people" category.
"I'm still puzzled by this short period of bizarre behavior," Joseph Abinanti said. "Some demon must have gotten into his brain or his world."
At least he got the demon part right.

Investors are handicapped in that they are human, and human beings have numerous innate traits that interfere with being good traders and investors. Two of the most self-defeating traits we possess are to project the future based on the recent past and our need for instant gratification. Projecting the future based on what has just happened occurs in all aspects of society. It is akin to flipping a coin six times and having all six flips come up heads. Although the chances of the seventh flip being heads is still 50/50, a majority of people would bet against tails based on the first six flips. We use some of this faulty logic to try to predict the weather. In the late 1970s, three straight years of "once a century" snowstorms rocked the Northeast. The New York Times, Time, Newsweek and other publications were predicting we were heading into the next mini Ice Age. It didn't quite turn out that way. Several major hurricanes slammed into Florida in 2004 and 2005. Stories ran that this was the new normal. People stocked up on generators, building codes were changed and if you installed storm shutters, it was indeed the "salad days." Only one major hurricane has made landfall since.
This predilection shows up in the equity market, too. What was everyone's favorite stock in early September? Apple (AAPL). Why? Because it had nothing but one success after another for five years and its stock went up consistently throughout that period. Since then, Apple has been one of the poorest performers in the market as sentiment has changed on the stock.
The second big trait that works against us is our need for instant gratification. Not so long ago, one needed to wait for the nightly news to find out what was going on in the world. Now, the latest information is delivered instantly to your laptop, tablet or smartphone. In the markets, this has shown up in the amazing decrease in holding times for equities. The average investor's holding time on any one stock is down more than 75% over the past 25 years and that does not include high-frequency trading.
One of the ways I try to get away from both innate traits is to buy out-of-the-money long-term options or bull-call spreads on stocks or sectors that are currently out of favor. At the beginning of 2011 I bought two-year call options and spreads on a variety of homebuilders because the sector had the most negative sentiment. While I was buying long-term calls and spreads on Toll Brothers (TOL) and PulteGroup (PHM), most other investors were enthralled with fast-growing stocks that had been performing well, like Netflix (NFLX) and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR). Those contrarian calls turned out to be amazingly lucrative.
Today, some of the most negative sentiment in the market is in mining and materials stocks. Two I like here are Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF) and Alcoa (AA), which is one of the most unloved equities in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. I have the Jan. 15 $10/$15 bull-call spreads on Alcoa for a net premium of $0.90, and I have the Jan. 15 $50/$60 bull-call spreads for $1.40 on CLF.
I don't know what factors could move these stocks upward over the next two years. Overcapacity in their respective industries could be addressed, or worldwide demand may accelerate at some point over the next 24 months. What do I know is both stocks are historically cheap, unloved and have traded at more than twice their current price levels within the past two years. I also know that I can reap 400% to 700% returns if sentiment reverses on these two equities. With those sorts of odds, I don't have to be right too often to make this contrarian strategy hugely profitable over time.

The city of Podhajce is not numbered among the fortunate communities that merited special descriptions by its residents in early generations or by eminent historians, as merited the principal cities of Galicia such as Krakow and Lvov, and even the cities of Zolochiv (the exalted city of Shlomo Buber) or Bolechow (the fruit of the pen of the activists Reb Dover Birkental). With the passage of generations, the rabbis of Podhajce indeed succeeded in publishing several books, but these books only deal with matters of Jewish law without providing the opportunity to peer into not even in a general fashion the lifestyle of one of the central communities of southern Poland of the 17th and 18th centuries. Nevertheless, several sources have been found that allow us to reconstruct and describe the life of the city during its various periods of existence during the time of Turkish rule, during the time of the Council of the Four Lands, during the time of Shabtai Tzvi and Jacob Frank, during the time of Hassidism, and during recent times.
The population exchange in Podolia until the Slavic settlement. From where did Jews come to Podolia? The Jewish settlement in Podol at the end of the 12th century. Known cities in Podol with famous rabbis and known personalities. The Sabbatean movement, Jacob Frank and his community, the Hassidic movement. The Berlin Haskalah in Podol.
Podhajce in Upper Podolia what does this mean? This title comes to teach us that there was not only one Podhajce in the Kingdom of Poland. If one looks into various encyclopedias, one will find more than ten settlements with this name in various regions, near Ludmir, Luck, Kremenice, and other places. However, here, we are dealing with the Podhajce that rose to the level of a regional city in eastern Galicia, and was situated on the banks of the Koropiec (Koropets) River. Aside from this, our Podhajce has its letter of genealogy as a daughter of the state of Greater Podolia that took on honorable place in the history of the Kingdom of Poland prior to the three partitions, and served as a place of residence for small and large Jewish communities throughout hundreds of years.[1]
The first settlement in Podolia took place in a very early period. According to the Father of History, Herodotus the Greek, various tribes lived in Podolia as early as 500 years before the Common (i.e. Christian) Era. After the Roman Caesar Hadrian conquered the lands of Germany and Romania (in the second century of the Common Era), this area of land also fell under his rule. From the era of The Wandering Tribes and onward, various strata of tribes settled in Podolia. They differed from each other in religion: Praboslavs (Greek Orthodox), Catholics, Lutherans and Jews. The latter formed the majority of the civic population.
From the 14th Century until the second partition of Poland between Russia and Prussia in the year 1793, a succession of countries ruled Podolia, including the states of Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and Turkey. The name Podol appears from the beginning of the 14th century, and means Lowlands in Slavic languages. Podolia is located over a large area in the northwestern area of European Russia, bordered by Galicia and separated from it by the Zvoroce River. In 1793, the majority of this region, along with several other regions of the State of Poland, transferred to full Russian control. However, Upper Podolia remained affiliated with Eastern Galicia.
There are controversies regarding the origins of the Jews that settled in Podolia. Some historians believe that Jews arrived in Podolia from Russia and Poland, to where they migrated from Western Europe. However, there is another opinion that claims that the Jews came to Podolia from the land of the Khazars and the Crimean Peninsula; or from the Principality of Kiev from which they were expelled during the time of Vladimir Monomach in the year 1120. According to this opinion, a Jewish community existed in Podolia at the end of the 12th century, that was occupied in business, crafts, brokerage and leasing, and did very well. During the time of the

Thirty Year War (1618-1648), they were joined by many German Jews from families that were well-known in Torah and wisdom. As long as Podolia was under the rule of the princes of Poland and Lithuania, the Jewish residents benefited from established rights, and their civic and economic situation was significantly better than that of their brethren in other areas. The study of Torah was also widespread among the people, and famous rabbis and scholars arose from there midst. However, this situation changed for the worse with the outbreak of the revolt of Ukrainian Cossacks in 1648. The revolt was directed against the Polish landowners, who oppressed the Ukrainian people. However, along with them, the Jewish residents of cities were greatly harmed. This era of oppression, tribulations, and fear of death by the sword of the enemy made the ground fertile for mystical delusions, and faith in miracles and supernatural salvation. These were the days of Shabtai Tzvi. Faith in his Messiahship spread throughout almost the entire Diaspora, including Podolia. This strong Messianic movement stirred up waves (primarily between the years of 1676-1700) and spread a spirit of hope in the hearts of the downtrodden masses. However, the bitter disappointment that came in the wake of this movement did not by-pass Podolia. It significantly shook up the lives of its Jewish residents. The situation became particularly bad when Jacob Frank, the heir to his Messianic movement, arrived with his followers. As a result of their being slandered by the Bishop of Kamenets Podolsk, a debate took place in that city between them and the rabbis who put them in exile. This debate ended with the imposition of a heavy penalty upon the Jews, the confiscation of volumes of Talmud from the entire region, and their public burning in the market square of Kamenets Podolsk (in the year 5518 1757).
Indeed, the Hassidic movement arose in the middle of the 18th century as a healing balm for the nation that was broken and desperate from the burden of its tribulations. It was founded and established by Rabbi Yisrael Baal Shem Tov (the Besht), a native of the Podolian town of Okop. This Torah, which was reared and nurtured on the soil of Podolia, especially by the simple folk, broadened and deepened within a short period of time until it became a complete philosophy of life that enveloped all strata of the Jewish nation, despite the chasms between the various Hassidic groups. In spite of the opposition of rabbis and Torah scholars, it paved a path to the scattered Jewish people as a national movement full of content and meaning, and with a wide branched literature.
On the other hand, the Haskala movement also struck roots in Podolia. It was founded by the Jews of Western Europe (The Berlin Haskalah), and spread during the 18th century. It destroyed the Wall of China that surrounded the Jewish street, which was closed and sealed off from outside influences, and brought the spirit of the new times into it. Near Podhajce, Yosef Perel and Reb Nachman Kruchmal were active along with all of the renowned Haskala scholars who conducted a strong struggle to instill the light of the Haskalah into the dwelling places of Israel.
Podolia Jewry was then as always a living and vibrant part of Polish and Russian Jewry, and often gave of its liveliness to the soul of the entire nation. This situation did not change after the partition of Poland to two parts, with the larger part going to Russia and the smaller part included in Austrian Galicia. Galician Podolia encompassed the entire area from the left bank of the Dneister River until the border of Russia, and included the regions of Brody, Buczacz, Borsczow, Berezhany, Husiatyn, Zaleszczyki, Zvaraz, Tarnopol, Trembowla, Czortkow, Skala and Podhajce all of them regions that were settled by small and large Jewish communities, that played an important part in all realms of life of this area of land. When destruction came upon our people in the Diaspora, they were also destroyed, and completely wiped out from the earth.
Legends and theories about Jewish settlement. Podhajce as a small scale ingathering of exiles of Jews from various lands. Podhajce as a border town. The Tatar invasion of the city and its area. The first Praboslavic population of Podhajce.
When was the city called Podhajce founded? Who were its builders? How did it develop and establish roots in the ancient and recent recesses of the past? How and when did Jews take hold of it, and who were their first neighbors in the city and region?
These questions and many questions remain without an answer and explanation. This is due to a simple reason: only few of the natives of the city known anything about the distant past of the city in which they were born and raised, or about the history of its Jewish population. Under these conditions, the only thing we can do is to gather the few pieces of information that can be gathered from various sources and join them together into as complete a description as possible of life in the city during the various areas.
Red Russia, later to become Eastern Galicia, passed to the Poles in the year 1387, after it had been a source of contention for 200 years between local princes, and between Poland and Hungary. The Poles found a very sparse settlement there. In the east there were villages and towns that had been destroyed several times during the century, their residents having been killed by the Tatars and the Turks. For hundreds of years, a diversified population settled in this land, consisting of Poles who belong to the Roman Catholic church, Ukrainians who belonged to the Greek Catholic church, and Jews who established the civic foundation in all settlements of the region. Throughout all cities of the region, there was also a small Armenian minority who conducted business with the Armenians in Turkey, Kovkoz and Persia, as far as the large Armenian center in Isfahan. Biblical names were widespread among the Armenians of Galicia.

Ricardo Enrique Rojas
I am Ricardo Rojas, a student who has been studying Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for the past two years. After two years of studying physics, I still do not know what I shall do with the physical knowledge I have gained. Because of its emphasis on mathematics, theoretical physics intrigues me, but I do not know what branch of physics I wish to study or work in for a career. I would like to enter into a career that consists of mostly theoretical physics and focuses upon solving a problem that has relatively immediate, practical applications, such as discovering some new formula, substance or process that permits people to do something that they could not do before.
During the summer of 2000, I shall be working in the University of Maryland at College Park as an assistant to a theoretical physicist. Our job will be to mathematically analyze plasmas on computers. The results of this research will be used in the development of fusion power.
