BRONX, NY - It was only fitting that the two Uptown teams would face off in the championship round of Nike's Battle of the Boroughs tournament.
After all, the game was taking place in Gauchos Gym in The Bronx.
Both Harlem and The Bronx were coming off hard fought come-from-behind victories in the previous round. Both teams were stocked with the best players, not only from their respective boroughs, but from the city period. The stands, if possible, were even more packed than they were during the 1st round. The stage was set for an Uptown clash of the titans in which Harlem would prevail 84-70.
Despite overcoming a 19-point deficit to beat the defending champs from Queens, The Bronx squad showed no signs of fatigue in the first. In fact, The Bronx thrived in transition against Harlem in the first, forcing turnovers and pushing the tempo. While Harlem's star player Kyle Anderson got off to another slow start, The Bronx capitalized and ended the 1st quarter up 18-13.
"I think fatigue kicked in", admitted Anderson about Harlem's lackluster start. "These are long games on [an official size] court so I think it played a little part in it."
Much of the same took place in the second quarter, as The Bronx continued to score on fastbreaks. Chris McCullough, who led The Bronx with 11 points against Brooklyn earlier, had 8 points in the first half, all of which came in the 2nd quarter. The lead stretched to 8 for the Bronx but that was short lived, as Anderson started to sizzle.
After only hitting a 3 in the 1st quarter, Anderson started to look to score more, dropping 7 points in the 2nd quarter. "I wasn't really thinking about it", admitted Anderson about his stepping it up after a slow start. "I felt like I needed to score more to overcome the deficit."
The Harlem squad went into the half only down 4 but would close the 3rd quarter up 12 and never look back. Anderson took over in the 3rd quarter. Inside, outside, getting to the line, and finding his teammates, Anderson did it all and The Bronx had absolutely no answer for him. "Kyle just took us to another level [in the second half]", exclaimed Harlem's coach, Kimani Young. "He's awesome. That's the only word I can use to describe him."
Suddenly, The Bronx couldn't score in transition like they were in the 1st half. Harlem started controlling the ball better while their 6'7" big man Chris Hooper took care of the offensive glass.
The combination prevented The Bronx from getting out in the open floor and allowed Harlem to build that double-digit lead. "Coming off that emotional victory in the first game, I knew it'd be tough to match that intensity in the beginning", explained Young. "We just had to keep it close." But they did more than keep it close. They turned the game right around.
Anderson led all scorers with 27 points and took the MVP trophy home. Hooper chipped in with 16 points and provided the interior presence needed offensively for Harlem. "We have a couple of guys that know what to do", said Anderson after the game. "We always play in packed crowds so we knew what to do and that's why we got the win." McCullough led the way for The Bronx with 17 points.

Purple Heart awarded to Warwick veteran
Rhode Island's senior U.S. senator has posthumously awarded a Purple Heart to a World War II Navy veteran who had lived in Warwick.
Sen. Jack Reed held a special ceremony Friday to present the award and other medals to the daughter of Frank Joseph Oliver.
Oliver was 24 when he joined the U.S. Navy Reserves in 1943. He served on the U.S.S. Eversole. During the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944, the crew rescued downed pilots and removed the wounded from American carriers. The Eversole suffered two torpedo hits in a matter of minutes and was ordered abandoned. Everyone onboard was killed or wounded.
After his service, Oliver owned and operated Oliver's Service Station in Cranston for 42 years.
He died in 2013 at the age of 94.{}

CLEARLAKE -- Authorities Wednesday released the name of the homeless man found dead in a shallow creek behind the Burns Valley Mall two weeks ago.
The man was identified as Earl Leonard Duty, 49, according to Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Brooks.
Duty's body was discovered near a small encampment behind the Clearlake shopping center April 3. Another homeless man, also camping in the area, reported finding Duty face down in a 3-inch-deep creek earlier that morning, according to Clearlake Police.
It took authorities 12 days to track down and notify Duty's closest relative, according to Brooks.
"The coroner's assistant had to send out three letters in trying to locate next of kin. She was finally able to locate a daughter who lives in Hawaii on (Monday)," the lieutenant added.
The cause of Duty's death remains undetermined, but authorities do not suspect foul play.

Providing warm, delicious food to customers on location is one of the food service industry's greatest challenges. If you are a restaurateur, caterer, baker or owner of a mobile food stand, you understand how difficult it is to transport and deliver quality food that maintains proper temperatures and the taste your customers deserve.
Whether you're looking to add a food delivery facet to your existing business or you're looking to improve on your current catering offerings, the experts at ACityDiscount.com offer the following advice:
1. Invest in banquet carriers.
If you don't have a series of banquet carriers and you plan to transport food, they should be your next purchase. Not all banquet carriers have built in heaters, but their natural insulation is incredibly adept at keeping food warm or cold throughout your journey. In fact, you can expect your food to only lose about 1 F each hour it is in the carrier. If you are a restaurateur bringing your food offsite or you own a catering business, these are must-have pieces.
2. Warm it up on site.
If you plan to serve on site when you arrive, you're going to need a series of steam tables, steam wells, or chafing dishes. Many restaurateurs who own buffet-style restaurants opt for built in facilities, however banquet facilities often opt for mobile units. Mobile steam wells / buffet tables allow banquet facilities the freedom to move their displays to accommodate for banquets of all sizes. Chafing dishes can be used in banquet facilities or for on-site cooking. There are a variety of chafing dishes on the market, ranging from economical knockdown units perfect for mobile caterers to elegant banquet chafers ideal for weddings or other high-end affairs. And for food not fit for steam wells, invest in a heating lamp. This piece of equipment is easily transportable and the perfect solution for warming fried foods, pizza, breads or roasted meats – especially if you plan to offer a carving station.
3. Don't forget the drinks.
Achieving the proper temperature for beverages is no less important than the food. Investing in your own traveling coffee percolators and insulated beverage / liquid carriers is the surest way to ensure your customers have that warm cup of coffee to accompany their meal.
4. Keep it cool.
Not everything needs to stay warm. In fact, many items must be kept cool before, during, and after service. The experts at ACityDiscount recommend stationary facilities invest in cold wells or frost tops. This is the best way to ensure your product stays below the 41 F threshold set by health departments. Mobile caterers have fewer options than stationary locales, as it is impractical to travel to a cook site or banquet with a refrigerator or freezer. Though many large traveling caterers invest in refrigerated trucks to transport raw foods to banquet sites, they are not necessary. Insulated food carriers often have optional inserts that can be frozen in advance to help maintain cold temperatures within, and standard coolers can also be used for transporting foods to be prepared on-site. When serving, most caterers opt to fill chafing dishes with ice, as standard cold wells cannot be transported from site to site.
5. Complete the look.
Your delicious food has arrived at the perfect temperature; now complete the experience for your guests. Make sure you have the plates, utensils and napkins that are expected of you. You don't want your perfect food to be forgotten by such a simple mistake. Additionally, it is important to be prepared to cater vastly different events. Every event is different, and caterers that intend on taking all customers must be prepared for something as simple as a child's birthday party, or something as elegant as a wedding.

Neurological Disorders Linked to Bendictin
My wife took Bendictin during her pregnacy for our first 2 children. All three children have issues with neurological disorders progressing from mild-migranes (oldest - 30), Tourette Syndrome - twitches (middle -28) and Gran-maul epilepsy & pervasive development disorder (youngest -26). None of these neurological disorders are documented as a problem back more than 3 generations for both sides of the family. I`m wondering if the mother`s use of Bendictin during pregnacy has been studied or linked to these types of disorders? The neurological disorders appear to have gotten worse with the children over time. I`m wondering it the residual (genetic?) damage caused the severity of the disorders to get progressively worse.
Bendectin was commonly used to treat nausea during pregnancy, and there were anecdotal reports that suggested it might cause birth defects. However, several scientific studies failed to confirm any relationship between Bendectin and congenital abnormalities or neurologic disorders.
Although there have been no family members with migraines, Tourette syndrome or epilepsy and pervasive developmental disorder, these disorders do occur in families with no prior history and for reasons unknown. Tourette syndrome typically waxes and wanes, getting better and worse over time. Migraines and epilepsy can be triggered by foods and medications, so they too can improve and worsen over time based on exposure to possible triggers.
Unfortunately,there is no way to predict if your children's problems will continue to worsen or not.

by T.W. Budig
ECM Capitol reporter
Legislation to close a veterans residency gap in Minnesota is being pushed by a Forest Lake lawmaker.
Rep. Bob Dettmer, R-Forest Lake, wants the state to stop taxing the military retirement pay of veterans.
Dettmer, a retired U.S. Army Reserve warrant officer, has long argued that taxing retirement pay is self-defeating, serving to drive away talented veteran retirees with skills for business, ardor for public service, money to buy homes and cars.
Dettmer will meet with Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton this week to discuss his legislation, Dettmer said.
Backers of the legislation, such as United Veterans Legislative Council Chairman Ralph Donais of Elk River, view the number of retired veterans — those with 20-plus years of military service, drawing retirement pay — living in Minnesota as too small.
According to Donais, the state is currently ranked 33rd in terms of retired veterans — Wisconsin, ranked 30th, has about 2,000 more, he said to the House State Government Finance Committee on Monday (March 4).
To the Badger State, those additional military retirees over the years mean millions of extra federal dollars flowing into the state, he argued.
No committee members found Dettmer's proposal compelling.
Rep Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis, argued almost any pensioner group could make the same argument.
Additionally, she questioned the methodology of the state-by-state rankings, suggesting factors other than taxes could account for disparities.
Donais agreed, saying the prevalence of military bases — places where veterans can get medical care, shop the PX — serves as an attraction.
But committee member Rep. Ernie Leidiger, R-Mayer, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, argued Dettmer was spot-on with his bill.
Taxes and weather are two big things veterans ponder when considering where to live.
"We want our people to come back to our state," Leidiger said.
Although no fiscal note was yet ready for Dettmer's bill, the lawmaker said the revenue loss would be modest.
The committee passed Dettmer's bill onto the House Tax Committee.
Several other veterans bill were heard by the committee.
Testimony became emotional — one struggling veteran wiping tears from his eyes — during presentation of bills providing income tax credits to businesses hiring qualified veterans.
Wearing a VFW hat bright with pins, veteran David Stanton of New Brighton spoke of applying for more than 200 jobs, including fast-food work, for which he felt over-qualified.
"We're not looking for a handout," Stanton said.
But at least let veterans be among the first in hiring line, he urged lawmakers.
Representatives Connie Bernardy, DFL-Fridley, and Anna Wills, R-Apple Valley, are carrying legislation to provide business with nonrefundable tax credits for hiring veterans.
A business could earn up to $3,000 in credit for each disabled veteran hired, $1,500 for hiring an unemployed veteran.
The two bills differ slightly, Bernardy's bill providing a $1,500 tax credit for hiring an underemployed veteran, with Wills' offering a $500 credit for other veteran hiring.
While the state's unemployment rate hovers around 5.5 percent, the rate for veterans is almost double.
Dennis Davis, a consultant who works with businesses on veterans- hiring issues, suggested the repeated deployment of active members of the military makessome businesses leery of hiring them.
Why hire one if they're not going to be around, the logic goes, Davis explained.
But Davis also argued the cost of the tax credits would be recouped by getting more veterans off unemployment benefits.
Minnesota has about 400,000 military veterans.

Cosmetics company L'Oreal denied that it lightened Beyonce's skin tone for an ad — after gossip-site tmz.com posted comparison pictures of Knowles promoting Feria looking noticably paler and lighter than usual. "We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L'Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles' features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair color," the Paris-based company said in a statement to the Associated Press. Knowles' representative declined further comment — the singer has been a face of L'Oreal since 2001. Tell us: What do you think of the ads? — Caris Davis

Jon Secada, Liz Callaway and More to Appear on LOVING THE SILENT TEARS Album
Just in time for the heartwarming holiday season, music enthusiasts can welcome the highly anticipated release of the Loving the Silent Tears: The Musical album to recreate the magic of the new musical exploring humanity's universal search for inner peace.
Vocalists include: Jon Secada (Just Another Day), Jody Watley (Real Love), Jamaican reggae group Black Uhuru (Anthem),Patti Cohenour (Phantom of the Opera), Liz Callaway (Miss Saigon), Kiril Kulish (Billy Elliot the Musical), Debbie Gravitte (Jerome Robbins' Broadway), Flo Ankah, Kay Tse (Hong Kong), Brian Joo (Korea), Siavash Shams (Iran), H? Qu?nh H??ng (Vietnam).
Loving the Silent Tears: The Musical was a unique celebration combining a talented team who collectively hold over two dozen Academy, Grammy, Tony and Emmy Awards. Oscar-winning composer Al Kasha (The Poseidon Adventure) was inspired to create and write music for the musical after reading the poetry anthology Silent Tears written by Supreme Master Ching Hai during her own spiritual quest. Mr. Kasha stated "Silent Tears...has touched my heart so greatly, that I saw the potential it had to affect people's lives by being turned into a musical."
As MTV noted, the composers are "titans in their musicAl Fields" who include Jorge Calandrelli (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), Doug Katsaros (Footloose), Henry Krieger (Dreamgirls), Don Pippin (La Cage aux Folles), Nan Schwartz (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) and David Shire (Saturday Night Fever).
Directed by Tony nominee Vincent Paterson (Michael Jackson's and Madonna's world tours) and choreographed by Emmy-winner Bonnie Story (High School Musical 1, 2, 3), Loving the Silent Tears transformed Supreme Master Ching Hai's profound and engaging poems into a musical sensation that takes listeners across six continents, with glorious Africa represented by platinum artist Jody Watley. The one-time only benefit show was held on October 27, 2012 at the 6,300-seat Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.
In keeping with the international theme of the show, the music features a wide range of styles and genres, such as Jody Watley's song, the African-inspired "A Real Fool" with its rich, rhythmic melodies and distinct percussion. The tender ballad "Singing Praise," sung by Korean pop star Brian Joo and Korean-American singer Heather Park, incorporated elements of traditional Korean music while the lively "Make a Deal," features Caribbean rhythms performed by Grammy-winning Jamaican group Black Uhuru. Singers representing other cultures include Camellia Abou-Odah (Arab), Mark Janicello (Italian), Liel Kolet (Israeli), Katie McMahon (Irish) and Fabiana Passoni (Brazilian).
The legendary Jon Secada also set Supreme Master Ching Hai's poem "All Love, All Forgive," to music in a salsa piece inspired by his native Cuba. He said, "I love the fact that it's a simple message but with a lot of depth: love, forgiveness, understanding, and caring. Those messages we need today more than ever."
After viewing the musical, singer/songwriter Sunny Hilden, who has written songs for Ray Charles, Sting, Patti LaBelle, Herbie Hancock, expressed, "If we keep reminding each other we're supposed to be kind and loving to each other, then we get back to that place where I think that's our natural state. And I think this musical really spoke to that beautifully."
The CD includes a special bonus of Supreme Master Ching Hai singing "Talking to a Stone Buddha," which was composed by the poet herself.
Distributed by Ocean of Love Entertainment, this original cast album comes in a 2-disc CD set and includes a full color booklet with the English lyrics, along with artist and composer biographies and color photos.
The album is also available in MP3 format for download, with PDF e-booklet included. Both are available for purchase along with other souvenir items at www.SilentTearsMusical.com/store
Discover the deeper, harmonious tones of peace and love that will surely satisfy and uplift the spirit for you and your loved ones this holiday season.

Aren't you Robert Duvall? St. Louis attorney Allen Allred gets asked that question a lot. Put their pictures side-by-side; and yes, they could be brothers! Some people, including comedian Jay Leno, believe the resemblance is uncanny. "The first time Jay Leno came to the Fox, he was standing with me and Bob Costas in the lobby," Allred recalls. "So here I am, between Leno and Costas, and Leno looks at me and says to Costas, Isn't this the guy who was Tom in The Godfather?" But their looks are probably where the similarities end.
Allred is well-known in legal circles as a longtime partner at Thompson Coburn, but what you may not know about him is that for the past 25 years, he's spent a lot of his time helping raise money for the treatment of kids with cancer. He is the unofficial founding father and major force behind the annual Bob Costas benefit gala, and has played a big role in the establishment of the Bob Costas Cancer Center at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. The way Allred tells the story is that he just happened to run into Costas at Busch Stadium when the famed broadcaster was doing play-by-play of a Cardinals game for NBC back in the early '80s. The relationship started pretty casually when Allred asked Costas if he would like to get involved to help raise money for Cardinal Glennon. The answer was yes. "Then, about a year later, I asked Bob if we could do an event and put his name on it, he agreed. Our first event was at the Adams Mark. Ten years later, we moved to the Fox, and Bob got Jay Leno and the great Tony Bennett to headline," Allred says. "Fifteen years later, we're still at the Fox; and this April, we'll celebrate our 25th event."
In that time, Allred and Costas have brought some of the biggest names in show business to St. Louis for the fundraisers. In addition to Leno and Bennett, the list includes Jerry Seinfeld, Billy Crystal, Ray Charles, Harry Belafonte and Paul Simon, just to name a few. A strong friendship emerged throught the years, as Allred and Costas have teamed up to help raise more than $15 million for the hospital.
Allred says a very memorable moment for both of them came on the night when he surprised Costas with the announcement of the founding of the cancer center. "Bob didn't know about it. And I'm confident that if I had gone to him before the announcement and said, Hey Bob, all this money is going to go to the creation of an institution with your name on it, he would have said, Don't do that," Allred explains. "But I remember standing on the dais at the Adams Mark when I announced it, and I saw this international celebrity double-clutched—I could see it in his face that he was so honored to have something like this with his name on it."
The Bob Costas Cancer Center opened in 1998, and Allred has assembled a team of prominent St. Louisans who keep the money coming in. They twist a lot of arms, open a lot of wallets and land big donations, including a half-a-million dollars from Centene to be the five-year title sponsor of the event. "We are beggars, B-E-G-G-A-R-S. We don't need any more big names on the committee, we need people who are willing to beg to help the kids—and that's what it's all about."
Somehow, Allred also finds time to be a lawyer. He's a top litigator for Thompson Coburn and is considered one of the best attorneys in America who specialize in health care and hospital issues. Allred served as a captain in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War and is the founder of the Missouri Friends of Injured Marines, which helps support wounded and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. "It's a way to give back for the blessings I've had." Allred says. "I have three healthy kids who have been successful, and in my own life and career, the Good Lord has blessed me, so I just hope I can facilitate some blessings for others who aren't so fortunate."
And the work Allred and others are doing is obviously saving lives. He loves to tell the story of a former Glennon patient who survived cancer, and is now all grown up and working for Oprah Winfrey in Chicago. At last year's benefit, she came onto the Fox stage to personally thank Costas and the supporters of the cancer center. "We had pictures of her as a child struggling through treatment; but there she was on stage with Bob, a successful and beautiful woman, and I thought, this is an example of how miracles happen every day at the Bob Costas Cancer Center—because of his efforts and the efforts of our committee. Without them, we wouldn't have these miracles." I'm sure even Robert Duvall couldn't have said it any better.

From the UK, an interesting application of online geo marketing. Wagamama, an Asian chain with over 60 restaurants in the country, is about to start its first online campaign in partnership with Multimap. Their idea is to target anyone preparing to visit an area near any of their shops. As explained on Brand Republic, a message will appear on the screen calling for people to "click here for noodles in this area". Then, on click, all the restaurants in the area will be pinpointed on the map in detail.
I very much like the idea. It's a smart way to mix geo targeted and affinity marketing.

Energy Price Outlook
Oil prices rallied slightly yesterday in WTI, but fell in Brent. Wednesday's breakout above the 50-day averages in both markets thus witnessed little upside follow-through. The market may find difficulty advancing further due to the unresolved fiscal cliff, uncertainty in the global economy, and a potential that recent strength has been partly fueled by expectations of additional QE in Japan which was granted yesterday. Oil inventories remain elevated and the divergence with the 50-day MA is nearing record levels (we analyze the negative effects of this in the Analysis section on pages 4 & 5). The bullish case is being built on expectations of fiscal cliff resolution and sporadic signs of economic growth tied to recovery from Hurricane Sandy in the northeast (i.e. improved Philadelphia Fed vs. higher jobless claims). Given the triple failure near the $90/bbl level in WTI in the last two months, we would anticipate the sideways consolidation continuing in the near-term.
WTI settled 15 cents higher while Brent fell 16 cents. Despite making a new three-week high, markets were fairly range-bound through the majority of the session, as WTI had trouble with the $90/bbl level once again. Brent's trouble spot is the $110-$112/bbl range. There was support offered early by the report that North Sea BFOE loadings would fall 7% in Jan to 1.83 mb/d from 1.97 mb/d in Dec. Prices were boosted further by improvement in the Philadelphia Fed index and the existing home sales report, which both indicated that the economy may be improving. The support was fairly limited, however, as the jump in unemployment claims and Wednesday's drop in new home sales may imply that the recovery may be focused more in the Northeastern U.S. where rebuilding is taking place after hurricane Sandy. Dueling speeches by Senator Reid and Speaker Boehner cast a negative light on fiscal cliff discussions, and pressured the market in the second half of the session. The House vote on "Plan B" is scheduled for Thursday evening and is unlikely to be approved by the Senate.
It's tough to join on the bullish bandwagon in oil prices. It seems that every time there was a chance for recovery in the last two months, the rally lost momentum and prices eventually fell. One of the key negatives in the market recently has been the growth in oil production and rising inventory levels. We discuss both on pages 4 & 5 below, and can see that there's an inverse correlation between inventories and oil prices. The near-record level of inventories above their five-year average implies that prices should fall once again. Granted, distillate stocks are much lower than they were in 2009 when the current record was set. However, refinery margins are too low at the moment to encourage refiners to convert oil stocks into distillate products.
Natural Gas
January futures settled 14.2 cents higher yesterday, and the front end of the futures curve performed better than the back end. The rally began overnight after NOAA's weather forecasts on Wednesday afternoon showed growth in the area of below-normal temperatures across the country. Wednesday's 9.8 cent selloff had largely cited above-normal temperatures as the reason, so perhaps NOAA's forecasts caught some traders off guard. About 6.0 cents of yesterday's rally was made in the few minutes after the inventory report showed a drop of 82 bcf. The drop compared to consensus expectations of around 72-75 bcf and also caught the market leaning the wrong way. NOAA released its long-range forecast maps, but the changes appear to be somewhat minimal as shown below.
The market still appears as though it may have some upside momentum to it, however, the volatility that has existed is likely to remain. Technical support will be offered by Friday's test and hold at the 100-day MA at $3.25, and Friday's hold above the Sep 7th low at $3.20. Wednesday's selloff fulfilled our buy recommendation made Tuesday at $3.30 with a target at $3.60 and a risk at $3.20. We favor raising the risk to our $3.30 entry point.

Effect of Building Oil Inventories
The EIA issued a report yesterday that discussed the possibility of U.S. production of crude oil and liquid fuels surpassing that of Saudi Arabia, but didn't specify when. The liquid fuels definition expanded beyond crude oil to also include condensate, natural gas liquids, biofuels, and refinery process gains. The U.S. is projected to produce 11.0 mb/d of liquid fuels in 2012 and compares to 10.13 mb/d in 2011. Saudi Arabia's production has averaged 11.6 mb/d so far this year, compared to 11.2 mb/d in 2011. But the report suggested that surpassing Saudi Arabia may not matter because while the difference is 0.6 mb/d when comparing liquid fuels, it is 3.5 mb/d when looking at just crude oil. Surpassing Saudi Arabia may also not matter because Saudi Arabia is the only producer in OPEC with significant spare production capacity, and thus the only one that can react to changes in supply or demand. Regardless, U.S. liquids production is expected to peak around 13.0 mb/d in the 2018-2020 period, as shown in the chart below.
The surge in U.S. production that the EIA discussed has been reflected in the weekly production statistics as well, which have averaged 6.20 mb/d this year. The year began with production at 5.8 mb/d and is ending with output near 6.98 mb/d as of last week's report. Increased oil output has helped oil inventories reach the widest divergence with the five-year average since Apr 24th '09 (chart 1). The current divergence is 49.64 MB and compares to the record of 50.92 MB on Apr 24th '09. Given that the five-year average will fall by only 1.06 MB this week, anything less than a build of 0.22 MB is needed to avoid setting a new record. Excess inventories will offer a negative impact on prices going forward. Chart 2 below uses data since 2007 to show that the widening divergence with the five-year average correlates with prices on an inverted scale. Oil prices were around $51.50 in Apr '09 when the record divergence was made, and were still recovering from the bottom in prices made in late-2008 due to the financial crisis. The current inventory cushion doesn't suggest that oil prices should be back down toward 2009's $51.50, but does imply that pressure could be applied.
Tightness in distillate inventories can prevent a fall in crude toward $51.50, as they are currently around 28,000 bbls below the five-year average compared to 35,000 bbls above it in April 2009. That 63,000 bbl swing will help offset the bearish indication given on the oil side, but only to a small degree. The excess oil still needs to be processed, and current refinery margins aren't creating the incentive to do so. Either oil prices need to fall or distillate prices need to rise to fix the imbalance.
Grains Commentary
Published Thursday morning, 12/20/12
The writing is on the wall...the grain markets are bearish and have very little bullish influence that can be seen right now. The beans are now down over $1 this week, meal is down over $20, corn has lost nearly 50 cents and wheat is down over 30 cents. The markets path of least resistance is lower.
The SA harvest is now only weeks away and it appears that crop sizes will be exceeding the record books not only in size but as the date of availability. The Chinese continue to cancel US bean purchases with another 540.0mt cancelled this AM bringing to total to just shy of 1.0mmt cancelled this week. The sales data next week very easily could be the first week that shows a net negative figure. The corn demand remains dismal, the weekly sales were only 114.0mt and weekly ethanol grind was down again yesterday.
The basis is the other concern, both beans and corn eased yesterday even with the flat price falling, nightly inquiries are drying up as even the consumer sees the finish line in SA product and knows that they will be online earlier than any other time.
The outside markets are mixed equities higher, crude oil is down .21, cotton is down .29, $index is weaker; Matif is lower in all markets as is the DCE.
The OI increased by 7899, wheat is up 3979, beans fell by 6898, meal was down 5788 and oil increased by 3795.
This past week's activity shows why it's good to stay close to the shore at this time of year as liquidity along with unknowns can move the markets more than normal, it's difficult to believe that corn is now back at levels of mid-summer, beans are pushing back to levels that were seen in July, the markets have become very comfortable with limited supply of product, is this the new world?
The option markets have quickly shown a pulse again as movement has picked up, corn has finally broken out of its doldrums of the 730-770 range (ADM is still short 10k CF 730 puts) and even at these prices it doesn't seem to be attracting any interest of ownership, but look at wheat it's still too cheap vs. corn trading under $1 premium. The downside SG puts are now trading at a premium to the calls in SG which shows that the market is positioned poorly for a further break. The bottom line to all of these options is that it is very likely that the market will have more moves like what has been seen this week over the next few weeks and once the first of the year hits the market will quickly shift its attention to the USDA report on the 11th which has a limit move potential.

Reviews of this property
Fueron muy amables, el apartamento estaba muy limpio y cuidado, ademas de equipado y lo pasamos muy bien ya que está ubicado en una zona estupenda y bien comunicada y siempre nos ofrecieron su ayuda para guiarnos por la ciudad.
We had a lovely stay in Milan and in this apartment, it was very well suited near the canal. The apartment was very comfortable for 2 persons, and had a perfect view over the canal from the little balcony.
notre hôtesse nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de chaleur et de gentillesse.
Une bouteille de vin nous a été offerte: intention très délicate .
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und war komfortabel eingerichtet. Karin war in allen Fragen behilflich, die Kommunikation mit ihr war angenehm. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt. Ich würde die Wohnung an Freunde weiterempfehlen.
Sehr schöne Wohnung in malerischer Lage am Naviglio Grande! Sehr zu empfehlen für einen kurzen oder längeren Mailand-Aufenthalt, da man sich in der Wohnung sehr wohl und ungestört fühlt. Alles, was man braucht, ist vorhanden.
Abends kann man gut ausgehen, da man mitten im Naviglio-Viertel wohnt. Trotzdem ist es in der Wohnung ruhig. Sehr gute Verkehrsanbindung mit Tram, Bus, Metro und Bahn.
Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
This really is a charming flat. Located in a very nice area. The neighbourhood is great with all kind of terraces and bars. The flat is well equipped and good air-conditioned. On the profile it says they have 2 bedrooms. I think it should say: 1 bedroom and 1 sofa for two in de Livingroom. There is no second bedroom. Karen was very nice and kept contact by Wimdu mail during our stay. Therefor it was easy to ask the things we wanted to know. If I ever go to Milan again I definitely want to stay here.
Karin's flat was wonderful and we really enjoyed our stay there in Navigli! The flat is in really good area, just a minute walk from everything in Navigli and a tram number 2 stop is just front of the door. A view from the balcony is straight to the canal. Everything was just perfect for us. Thank you!
Es ging mit einem super Empfang los: die charmante und hilfreiche Gastgeberin hat uns mit Prosecco begrüßt und uns alles gezeigt. Bei den Zeiten für Check-in und Check-out war Karin sehr entgegenkommend und so hatten wir 3 entspannte Tage. Schon vor der Reise war Karin sehr hilfreich und hat uns viel erklärt. Das Appartment ist schön und gepflegt. Es liegt dicht an der Metro (Linie M2), einfach vom Flughafen Malpensa erreichbar. Vor der Tür hält die Tram und man kommt direkt bis zum Dom. Man kann aber auch gut laufen, in ca. 20 min ist man im Centro.
Um die Ecke ist ein Supermarkt und eine kleine Bäckerei. Abends kann man ganz toll ausgehen, weil das Viertel Naviglio quirlig und lebendig ist. Es gibt ganz viele Bars und Restaurants.
We absolutely loved our stay in Karin and Abele's gorgeous apartment. It's just exactly what the pictures show.
The apartment has the charm of historic houses, but is also modern and functional. Very well equipped, tastly decorated and very clean. It has all the necessarily items in the kitchen. The bed is big and comfortable, the bathroom is very pleasant as well. Wifi works perfectly. Also it's located probably in the coolest area in Milan, with a beautiful view on the Naviglio Grande. Full of restaurants and trendy bars. The flat is also very central (a 20 minute walk to the Duomo of Milano) and it is only few steps from the metro so it is very easy to get around. We arrived at the Central Station and to reach the flat we had to take only the underground line, the Linea 2 - green line, without having to change. That was very comfortable for us. Karin and Abele are really great hosts, very available, always answering our questions very quickly and they recommended places to go for a dinner or a drink or interesting and "secret"places to visit. So if we come back to Milan, we definitely would stay here again. Highly recommended!!!

MORE than 250 women entered the eighth Cotswold Women-Only Triathlon at the weekend, with Rachel Bown, Helen Jubb and Diana Dee taking victory in the three categories.
The event, held at Cotswold Country Park and run by Tri Ferris promotions, included a 750-metre swim of the clear water lake, a one-lap cycle and two laps running, while there was also a shorter event for novices.
Following a training day on Saturday, the competitiors took to the course on Sunday morning with many raising money for Cancer Research UK, the event's preferred charity.
Bown of Trowbridge won the sprint event ahead of Shirley Yarde of Somerset in second and Newbury's Nicola Clay in third. Swindon Tri Club's Ffion Davies came fourth to finish as the highest-placed local competitor, with Cirencester's Lisa Stevens eighth and Cheryl Sloan of Swindon Tri Club 13th.
In the super sprint event, battled out over a shorter course, Jubb of Worcester broke the hour mark to win ahead of Elaine Pye and Jodie Clarke, who were both four minutes back.
The novice event also attracted a healthy field, with over 50 women taking part, as Dee beat Nicola Stearn by a little over a minute to take victory.
Organiser Lorraine Ferris, of Tri Ferris Promotions, said: "I'm proud to have so many women competing in what used to be a male dominated sport until the last few years. Two-hundred-and-sixty women entered from all over the country, including many first-time triathletes."
One competitor, who chose not to be named, said: "I completed my first women-only triathlon with Tri Ferris, I had an amazing time and I didn't come last.
"The team were supportive and extremely encouraging. They also accommodated my religious needs, which made the experience enjoyable and meant I could fully focus on the sporting activities.
"The event was perfectly organised and I would highly recommend the event to others from all backgrounds. Sports unites and this is the perfect environment to come and unite with other great women."

Dedicated Penny for Stormwater to Pay
for Rehabilitation of Pohick Creek Dam Number 4
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors advanced its environmental agenda today by accepting an agreement to rehabilitate Pohick Creek Dam Number 4.
The repairs will be partially funded from the board's allocation of the value of one penny from the county's real estate tax rate dedicated to stormwater management. In the past two years, this dedicated penny has amounted to more than $40 million for improving the county's stormwater programs.
"The dedicated penny for stormwater management is improving water quality," said Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly. "This funding helps the county to pay for new projects to improve the environment, and it also allows the county to care for our existing environmental infrastructure. This project helps us to protect our creeks, streams and watersheds."
The dam helps to safeguard water quality by trapping nutrients and sediments. Nutrients, such as phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium that are found in fertilizer and grass clippings, can suffocate fish. Sediment, such as soil from stream banks, destroys feeding grounds for aquatic life, blocks light and increases water temperature. Both excessive nutrients and sediment are harmful to the county's watersheds and the Chesapeake Bay.
The project will focus on preventing erosion to the dam's embankment. The dam has benefited water quality, wildlife habitat and recreation since its completion in July 1976, as well as prevented flooding downstream.
The joint rehabilitation agreement is between the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services Stormwater Management Division; the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District (NVSWCD); and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
The current cost of the project is approximately $3.1 million. NRCS will pay 65 percent of the cost or approximately $2 million. Fairfax County will fund 35 percent of the project or approximately $1.1 million of final costs, less any in-kind services credits. The current value of in-kind credit provided by Fairfax County and the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District is approximately $460,000; the total Fairfax County cash contribution is approximately $634,000.
A final design for this project is being completed under a Fairfax County contract, following NRCS standards. By April 2008, construction of the project will begin and the newly rehabilitated dam will have a new life expectancy of 70 years.
The Board of Supervisors's environmental agenda, "Environmental Excellence for Fairfax County — A 20-Year Vision," was adopted in 2004, and it identifies six areas of focus for environmental protection: growth and land use; air quality and transportation; water quality; solid waste; parks, trails and open space; and environmental stewardship. The 2004 plan and the board's environmental improvement program were recognized by the National Association of Counties with an Achievement Award last year. Both are available on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/living/environment/eip.
For more information about the dedicated penny for stormwater management or this project, contact Irene Haske, Department of Public Works and Environmental Services Stormwater Management Division, at 703-324-5821, TTY 711.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A special needs student in Orange County schools, who was bused to Orlando Tech, is expected to give birth in about two weeks. Her father tells Local 6 he is outraged that no one saw or reported her and her boyfriend having sex in the back of the school bus.
"Orange County schools has dropped the ball in protecting my kid -- my daughter -- in their schools," said Todd Barrett.
Surveillance cameras caught his 18-year-old daughter and her boyfriend having sex 12 times in 16 days in the back seat of an Orange County schools bus in plain sight of nine other kids, a bus monitor and a bus driver.
He had the bus supervisor pull those recorded videos.
"She (bus supervisor) said it's the most disturbing thing she's seen in 25 years of busing and monitoring," Barrett said.
Students who were just feet away from the the couple at the time they were having sex signed statements saying they saw them doing "inappropriate things," "making out" and doing "something else," while the bus driver and bus monitor claim they saw nothing.
Local 6 went to the bus driver's home to ask her if cameras next to her rear view mirror caught the act, how come she didn't, but she wouldn't talk to Local 6.
"I want to know why nobody kept my kid safe on the school bus," Barrett said. "Why nothing was done."
Barrett says he's still waiting to hear from the Department of Children and Families to figure out next steps.
The bus monitor was investigated and retired from her job before the district was set to fire her. The bus driver is still on duty, according to school records.

Mistakes costly as Giants fall to Rockies
Four errors, balk lead to runs; Susac's homer highlights offense
SAN FRANCISCO -- One reason the Giants are looking up at the rival Dodgers in the National League West race? The teams' performances against the Rockies, owners of the NL's worst record.
With a 3-2 loss to the Rockies inside AT&T Park on Monday night, the Giants dropped to 4-8 against Colorado this season. The Dodgers -- who will wake up Tuesday with a five-game advantage in the NL West -- are 9-4 against the Rockies.
It was the home team that looked more like one of baseball's worst teams Monday.
The Giants set the tone for their sloppy showing during the game's first at-bat. Charlie Blackmon reached on a routine grounder to second after a soft toss from Joe Panik forced Buster Posey off the base. Starter Jake Peavy's pickoff attempt after Blackmon stole second went errant, so Blackmon advanced to third and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Justin Morneau. Three innings later, things really got ugly for the Giants.
Drew Stubbs reached base and was awarded second after a wild throw from Brandon Crawford landed in the Colorado dugout. According to manager Bruce Bochy, Crawford tried to do too much when he committed another error one batter later, which allowed Stubbs to advance to third. Peavy then balked on a Morneau steal attempt, which scored Stubbs.
"I was just picking my leg up; Morneau couldn't have timed it any better. As I was picking my leg up, he was starting to go," said Peavy, who allowed three runs (one earned) on six hits and struck out five in seven innings. "You're going to home plate and then you hear 'Step off,' and I tried to hop off the back of the mound.
"Crazy night, all the way around."
A sacrifice fly by Corey Dickerson later in the inning gave the Rockies the lead. Four innings in, the Giants had four errors, which tied a season high. The blunders gave Crawford 20 errors on the season, most in the Majors among shortstops.
"It was a little awkward," Bochy said of the early struggles, which he said were the most disturbing of the handful of disheartening happenings Monday night.
When it was all said and done, Bochy was ejected, Peavy was nearly tossed for a second consecutive game, and the Giants' lead on the Braves for the NL's second Wild Card spot was slashed to a half-game.
"We certainly could've been better all the way around tonight, starting with me," Peavy said. "Frustrating night, for sure."
Even against an injury-depleted Rockies team, four errors and a balked-in run are hard to overcome. Especially when the Giants' offense isn't much prettier, which was the case Monday.
A Posey single scored Angel Pagan to tie the game at 1 in the first, and Andrew Susac hit a home run where home runs rarely go inside AT&T Park -- into the center-field bleachers -- to give the Giants a 2-1 lead in the second.
Rockies lefty Tyler Matzek -- who entered the game with a 5.38 ERA -- held the Giants to those two runs in seven innings. The Giants were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Never were those shortcomings more apparent than in the bottom of the fourth, when Michael Morse hit a one-out triple but was stranded at third.
With the loss, the Giants are now just 10-24 in their last 34 home games, and the Rockies have won a franchise-best four consecutive games in San Francisco.
"Overall just not a well-played game," Bochy said, "and it caught up with us."
The same will be said about these losses to the Rockies if the Giants fail to qualify for October.

Colorectal Diseases
colon question
Recently, I diagnose with mucosal prolapse. If I do not treat it will I end up developing full thickness prolapse or not? thank you
Most likely the answer is no, as the etiology of each prolapse is very different. That being said, mucosal prolapse is not likely to improve without an operation to decrease the amount of redundant tissue, and fixation of the remaining tissue within the anal canal.

Blue Jays sense urgency to start late-season push
CHICAGO -- The returns this week of Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind mean the Blue Jays no longer have any excuses in their chase for the postseason.
Toronto has spent the past six weeks without the middle of its order intact, and the repercussions of that have been felt. The current three-game series in Chicago marks the healthiest the Blue Jays have been all season.
Brett Lawrie and Brandon Morrow are still on the disabled list but aren't expected back any time soon. That means it will be up to the current group to get the job done, and those within the clubhouse feel like they have everything needed to accomplish the difficult task.
"We were in first place for a couple of months," Lind said. "Some things fell apart, but that's going to happen over the course of a season this long, but we're solid everywhere. Good staff, good bullpen, good lineup. We don't really have a great piece to anything, but we're solid across the board. Usually when that happens, you're good enough to make the playoffs."
Lind's return is just as important to the Blue Jays as Encarnacion's. The presence of both players goes a long way in helping to lengthen out a lineup that has fallen on hard times. All of a sudden, Dioner Navarro goes from a cleanup hitter to a more traditional spot lower in the order.
"With where we sit right now, we're going to have to make a run to get in the playoffs," Lind said. "Hopefully, we can do that.
"It's not a big surprise we only scored one or two runs during a game. Hopefully, with us back in the lineup, we can score more runs."

Cancer also increased heart failure patients' death risk by 56 percent in this study sample.
Researchers compared cancer and death rates among 961 newly diagnosed heart failure patients with community controls.
They found that patients with heart failure had similar rates of cancer at the time of heart failure diagnosis. However, during follow-up of patients without prior cancer diagnosis and after adjusting for other diseases, patients with heart failure had a significantly increased risk of cancer. Cancer rates in heart failure patients were similar among men and women, but trended stronger in people younger than 75 years.

It's true! Baby Kingston does always looks comfy and adorable in the slings parents Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale tote him around in. Now, your little tike can be too. Gwen's funky reversible leopard/orange one from The Rockin' Baby Shop, is totally sold out for now, but check out the others they do have by clicking here. FYI, Gwen is in good company– Angelina Jolie and Courteney Cox are also fans of the Rockin' baby slings. Gavin's simple black one and Gwen's white floral one (not pictured) are both from the OOPA Baby Shop, whose celebrity fans also include Kate Hudson and Brooke Shields. Kingston might be spotted in his slings for awhile since they are sturdy enough to hold infants and toddler. Could Hollywood be saying good-bye to strollers? — Andrea DeSimone

PROSTITUTE Emma Bate has been found guilty of murdering Stourbridge businessman Richard Sherratt at the end of a three-week trial.
The jury at Stafford Crown Court returned their verdict this morning (Thursday) after hearing how Bate, aged 27, and Paramjit Singh, who has already admitting killing the 57-year-old property developer, subjected Mr Sherratt to what police say was a callous and brutal ordeal.
Mr Sherratt was murdered in his rented home in Bridgnorth last June after the pair, who admitted being heavy users of crack-cocaine at the time, visited the flat to rob their victim to pay for drugs.
Speaking shortly after the verdict was returned, Detective Inspector Steve Tonks, from West Mercia Police, said: "The motive for this crime was clearly greed and the defendants Singh and Bate resorted to violence in seeking access to their victim's money.
"It was a premeditated crime whereby they planned to rob Mr Sherratt and to commit fraud by withdrawing funds from his bank accounts. They planned to travel late at night when they knew Mr Sherratt would be at home and would be asleep.
"The court heard distressing details about the degree of violence used while Mr Sherratt was held captive and tortured in his own home last June.
"He was subjected to a callous and brutal ordeal with the injuries sustained, sadly resulting in his death.
"Today's verdicts send out a strong message that anyone resorting to violence for criminal purposes, will be brought to justice. The police will strive to quickly arrest offenders putting them before the courts where they can expect to receive lengthy custodial sentences.
"I also hope today's verdicts will bring a degree of closure for Mr Sherratt's family and friends.
"In particular, I would like to thank his daughter and his two sons for the support they have given to the police investigation, whilst coping with the loss of their father.
"I would also like to thank the many witnesses who came forward to help the police during the course of the investigation, a number of whom have given evidence in this trial.
"The circumstances of this case with its tragic outcome have been harrowing. Fortunately, incidents of this nature are relatively rare in Shropshire and those responsible for this murder were traced and arrested within two days of Mr Sherratt being found."
A third defendant in the case, Michael Smith, aged 51, of Horton Street, Tipton, was acquitted of robbing and defrauding Mr Sherratt.

West Park 3 Northwich 31
A FIFTH successive win propelled Blacks to second in the standings – a promotion play-off position.
Injuries forced the visitors into changes at West Park, but a first start of the season for Yan Cartman at prop and the switch of Dean Kingi and Chris James to the front row helped Northwich to register their latest victory.
They were under pressure initially, falling behind when the hosts slotted a penalty after a defender had been caught offside.
Half an hour passed before the visitors restored parity, when Chris Dutoy replied with a three-pointer of his own, and then took the lead in the moments before the break.
Kingi drove into the heart of West Park's defence, his momentum boosted by supporting runs from Ryan McKibbin and Chris Dale before the ball was released.
Dorian Simes touched down, Dutoy adding the extras.
Northwich extended their lead less than five minutes into the second period, this time when Dale collected the ball from a scrum and drove for the line.
It was recycled quickly to the backs before Dutoy placed a kick along the ground beyond the line for both Phil Williams – later credited with the try – and Simes to touch down simultaneously. Dutoy did the rest.
Blacks added another score five minutes later when a West Park clearance kick in their own 22 was charged down by skipper Gareth Davies, who collected to go over.
Dutoy converted, and his side appeared on course for a bonus point win.
With nine minutes remaining, another strong scrummage put pressure on the home team's forwards and the ball spilled to Dale, who pounced to scamper over the whitewash.
Dutoy, ever reliable, completed a fine afternoon's work with his fourth conversion success.
Northwich Cartman, James, Kingi, Heywood, Smith, Chris Dale, McKibbin, Watts, Davies, Dutoy, Campbell, Williams, Chubb, Houghton, Simes. Replacements Thompson, Cotterill, Underhill. Tries Simes, Williams, Davies, Chris Dale. Cons Dutoy (4). Pen Dutoy.

Not an original title, but one that sums up my feelings about Mitt Romney, and a sentiment that I think aptly sums up his now famous statement regarding the 47%. Why do I love it? Because it is how I feel, as a taxpayer, and an American citizen. I am one who believes in the necessity of a social safety for those truly in need, but rejects the entitlement culture that permeates so much of our great country. Here was Mitt, off script, off prompter, not being coached or managed by a polished beltway insider consultant. In short, we got a glimpse of the real Mitt here. I for one, like what I see. If it were appropriate to make sweeping judgments based on one statement, I would say that Mitt really is a conservative. I love it!
Yet I have to temper the enthusiasm with the hate side of the equation. I of course don't hate that Mitt said what he said about the 47%, but I hate that this is the first time we've really seen Mitt with his guard down expressing his (to all appearances) innate conservatism. Where has this been? Well, judging by the (over)reaction to his comments on both the right and left, his political handlers, and perhaps the man himself, have decided you can't win elections by being genuine. I hate that we have had to listen to Mitt defend his horrid Mass. healthcare intiative, or equivocate on this or that because he and his people value election strategy over honesty.
Perhaps this is will mark a new moment for the Romney campaign, and Mitt as a politician. Maybe a taste of just how far honesty and genuineness can take him this election will push him to put it all on the table and take a case to the American people that will put him in the oval office. I am hopeful, but I am also skeptical. It's love and hate.

"He is in the storm, he and Daltrey both, performing with a vibrancy for which their successors merely strive, the timeless aspects of The Who's manifesto running strong amongst the currents."
Rock Cellar, Quadrophenia tour 2013
Take a look here to see if The Who is showing somewhere nearby
It is generally acknowledged among rock fans that The Who in their heyday were the most exciting live band on the planet, with their Live at Leeds album (1970) hailed as the greatest live album of all time.vThe compositional skills of Townshend have always been way beyond the conventional, as is proven not only in classic songs like 'My Generation' and 'Baba O'Riley' but also in his two great rock operas (a form he more or less invented single-handed) Tommy and Quadrophenia.
Today, despite the passing of Keith Moon and John Entwistle, The Who remain a potent force on the rock music scene. Their Concert for New York City appearance after the tragedy of 9/11 was a classic, as have been their annual performances at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
In 2006, Pete Townshend wrote The Who's first studio album for the new millennium, Endless Wire and the band toured Europe and the U.S. during 2006 and 2007. Now following their hit Quadrophenia tour, they are taking to the road again, expanding on the previous setlist to celebrate all 50 years of their music-making, proving why they are one of the most enduring and successful rock bands on the planet today. They play Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY, showing for one date only on 20 May 2015!
