Since 2009, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has been involved in the national research project Museum Acquisitions from 1933 of the Netherlands Museums Association (NMV). This project aims to investigate whether acquisitions whose provenances are questionable with respect to the Second World War have ended up in Dutch museum collections from 1933. Do the Dutch museums have works in their collections that changed ownership under suspicious circumstances between 1933 and the end of the Second World War?
In Germany, Jews - as well as other persecuted groups - were threatened and robbed since as early as 1933. The same happened in Austria from the Anschluss in 1938. Before the German occupation of the Netherlands had even begun, people from these parts of the population in Germany and Austria already lost their properties (including art objects) as a result of the Nazi regime. Via art dealers, auctions or individual citizens, these 'spoliated objects' did end up in Dutch museums occasionally. Up until many years after the war, museums at times - unwittingly - acquired objects that had been spoliated, sold under pressure or confiscated.
The Netherlands Museums Association has asked the museums to investigate whether they possess such objects, by thoroughly researching the provenance histories of the works in their collections. This research must lead to an inventory of objects owned by Dutch museums and having a provenance that indicates (or could indicate) involuntary loss of possession. From 1998 to 2001, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen participated in the first national research project of the Netherlands Museums Association concerning acquisitions from 1940-1948. The current research is focused on the acquisitions from 1933-1940 and 1948-present. It will expectedly be completed by early 2015.
The museum takes a critical stance towards its collection and is therefore pleased to offer online openness about the provenances of its art works. That is why information has been accessible through the museum's website since 2010. The investigation into the acquisitions from 1940-1948 led to the restitution of several works to rightful heirs. These restitutions include works from Dirck van Delen and Jan Toorop. More information about these cases, and about ongoing restitution requests, can be found on the website. Objects with a suspicious provenance that come forward from the current research into the acquisitions from 1933-1940 and 1948-present are published here as well. When it turns out that art works have been taken illicitly from the property of their owners, the heirs will be traced.
Particular attention is given to the Koenigs Collection. 176 drawings and some paintings from this famous collection, which the museum has on loan from the State of the Netherlands, are claimed by one of the heirs of collector F.W. Koenigs (1881-1941). In order to inform the audience, the media, and any involved institutions and individuals as completely and verifiably as possible about this case, which has been going on since 1997, all documents about the acquisition of the Koenigs Collection from the museum archive can be consulted here online.

text: Not too bad. Very typical movie from that director (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow). I didnt mind his other movies, not the greatest not the worst and I would put this in the same category. Kinda like Mel Gibson's Apocalypto and 300 mixed, but not nearly as good as either of the two.

That is not silly at all. It is really my only worry about starting Granger over Lance. Danny and Lance are very different type players.
However, still the Pacers will be better overall with Danny back. Plus I would expect to see Danny, PG, lance and Hill on the court at the same time often

As a disgruntled free agent, New York Knicks guard Raymond Felton promised to score 50 points when he returned to face the Portland Trail Blazers.
"I'm a free agent so maybe those bloggers and those people who write won't have to see me again," Felton said in June. "Maybe they won't, until I'm coming in on the other end and droppin' 50 on 'em."
Thursday, on TNT, in front of a national audience, he'll have an opportunity to follow up that old threat and a few new ones.
Basketball-wise, the worst numbers of Felton's career came as a member of the Blazers' 2011-12 team. Felton admits he had tough times on the court for Portland, and he doesn't hesitate to express disdain for "certain people" in and around the Blazers organization.
"There are certain people there I don't want to see and better not come near me," Felton said, according to Newsday's Al Iannazzone.
Felton had career lows in points and rebounds as point guard in Portland, where he put up 11.4 points, 6.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds. In the worst shape of his career last season, Felton's performance might have been a result of bad conditioning.
Whatever the reason for his dip in production, Felton told Frank Isola of the New York Daily News it was the "worst moment I had in basketball, for sure." Conventional wisdom leads one to assume Felton wouldn't look forward to playing in the place that nearly derailed his career, but all evidence appears to point toward the contrary.

Get the CLOTH rim tape!
By blownrx7
from CT
About Me Avid Cyclist
I tried this tape and it was a mistake. The nylon worked at first but on my old wheels the spoke ends began to push through and I wasted three tubes before I figured out what was happening. The nylon slowly creeps and thins out until the metal is sharp enough to pierce the tube. Also, as someone else mentioned, there is nothing to stop it from sliding out of place exposing the sharp edges of the valve hole AND the spoke holes.GET THE CLOTH RIM TAPE and have no worries!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Get the cloth Advesive Strips Instead
By Slav
from Takoma Park, MD
I have always used the cloth adhesive rim tape but since Nashbar doesn't carry it I tried these. I got the more expensive Conti brand thinking it would be better. They went on easily and seemed like a durable product. About two months into riding I started to get cuts on the inside of my tubes almost every ride. After close inspection I noticed that because there is no adhesive, the strips pulled away from the rim exposing the edge of the strip to the tube. While riding, this would end up cutting a 1/4 hole in the tube. No spoke holes were exposed. I imediately went back to the reliable cloth tape that sticks to the rim. Problem solved. I will never buy any brand of these rim strips again. Nashbar, please stock the rim tape and give us an option.
Won't need to buy again for a long time

The product arrived in a timely fashion. It works great, but like I said, it's slightly oversized. I think it's better to be slightly oversized rather than too small.

Really Simple
By Matty Mumbles
from Blackwood, NJ
This product was easy to install...just insert something like a pencil in the hole and then work product around rim...voila! Should only take you about 15 seconds to put protection on your rim, then just put tube and tire back on and enjoy!

easier than easy!
By bigorange

About Me Competitive Cyclist
these are the easiest to use rim strips ever. simply use something like a pencil to keep the valve holes lined up and each strip should take less than 30 seconds to install. Much longer or the inability to install these can only be attributed to operator error.

Not easy at all
By Dave C.
from Gaithersburg, MD
This product is terrible. There is nothing Easy about it. It takes a routine job such as putting rim tape on a wheel and turns it into a ballbuster. It is nearly impossible to keep the hole for the valve stem aligned with the valve stem hole in the rim. After three attempts to get it right, I threw it in the trash.

Wow your not ready to kill yourself because we lost must be something wrong with you
But I do agree with you they'll come out of it but man it sure is depressing to read this stuff on here sometimes
Well... We had our chances but just couldn't hit one at the end. Tough loss. No way should it have come to that. The guys really need to take a good look in he mirror. But again, I still believe in these guys. Just need to break this funk.

If you've ever parked your heiny in a folding chair on a youth sports sideline, you've seen him. He appears well mannered and respectable. Sometimes, he is a she. Her sensible bob gives the impression that she is totally rational.
By the end of the game, this man or woman will become unhinged, progressively unglued by children chasing a ball. This is not Mr. and Mrs. Crazy-Pants' fault. It is the fault of allegedly blind referees, who appear to the rest of us as mortified, pimply-faced teens. Also, clearly the coaches are unqualified, the other team is playing dirty and a manipulative teammate – who is still too small to reach his own cereal bowl in the kitchen cupboard – won't pass the ball.
I realize that watching your own offspring engaged in a physical struggle arouses a distinctly primal response. When my child is fouled on the court or field, it's all I can do not to mama-bear charge the offending player. I, like all parents on the sidelines, simmer under the surface during overtimes and shootouts. I desperately want the postgame fro-yo to feel like a celebration, not a salve.
I make a conscious choice to stifle the emotions. To remember that this is about adolescents exercising, having fun, and learning life lessons. So do most parents and coaches. But it only takes a few knuckleheads berating referees, scouting out other teams and reviewing film with their child after the game to dampen the experience for everyone. I've seen moms pump their fists when their child knocked another down on the basketball court. One repeatedly exclaimed, "Now THAT'S soccer," when her daughter fouled on the field. I've seen a dad who walked alongside the pool lane, hollering the whole way. For heaven's sake, the kid couldn't even escape by submerging himself in water.
According to reports from the National Alliance for Youth Sports, 70 percent of children quit playing organized sports by the age of 13. While many factors contribute to this number, including more academic commitments, two include increasing pressure and decreasing fun. Only 2 percent of high school seniors earn NCAA scholarships, and the majority of these are partial scholarships that come nowhere close to reimbursement for a decade of training, lessons, equipment, and travel team expenses (not to mention overuse injury surgery and physical therapy). Yes, there are children who will grow up to play professionally, get a full-ride scholarship, or stand on the Olympic podium. The chances are slim, and, due to blood pressure complications, Mr. Crazy-Pants likely will not live to see that day.
Berating college and professional players in a sports stadium is the new societal norm. Referees are quickly escorted out of arenas after games for their own safety. We tell our kids that it's just a game and then watch professional athletes weep after losses on the football field. It can't be easy for sports enthusiasts to curse and throw chips at the TV on Sunday afternoon, and then transition to clapping politely on a youth sports sideline.
I've read blogs proposing parent-free sidelines. I imagine parents would be irate. But maybe then kids would be free to just play.

Royals boost Guthrie with five-run first inning
Five consecutive hits in opening frame help gain ground in AL Central
CHICAGO -- Before Friday night's 7-2 victory, the Royals' hitters had been looking for the right way to apologize to Jeremy Guthrie.
The right-hander entered Friday on an 11-game winless streak, and he was not to blame for the drought. Kansas City had scored just five runs total in his past five outings, in which he posted a 3.09 ERA over 35 innings. Since April 16, Guthrie's 2.59 run support average was the lowest in the American League and fourth-lowest in MLB -- that is, until Friday.
Kansas City's lineup on Friday emphatically provided Guthrie with a big cushion before he even took the mound. The Royals scored five times in the first inning and went on to win their fifth straight, this time over the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.
"Just get him some runs; that's all we wanted to do," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "This is probably the worst start that he's had during this whole streak. He's been really, really efficient, really commanding his pitches well. The first three innings he made big pitches when he needed to, to limit the damage, which was huge."
The Royals opened the game with five straight hits -- the first four of them singles -- off White Sox starter Jose Quintana. RBI singles by Eric Hosmer and Billy Butler and a run-scoring double by Alex Gordon made it 3-0 Royals, and Lorenzo Cain's two-run double two batters later completed the five-run frame.
"I wanted to throw good pitches, but I missed a lot with location. A little bit high, too," Quintana said. "The first inning was a terrible inning for me, but I came back after."
Chicago responded with a run in the bottom of the inning on Jose Abreu's sacrifice fly. Kansas City then took a 6-1 lead on Hosmer's sac fly in the second.
"It was nice," Hosmer said of giving Guthrie a big lead early. "As an offense, that's what we're trying to do. He probably didn't have his best stuff tonight, but he had a nice cushion to work with, and he grinded it out tonight. That's what you do when you're a starter."
Guthrie needed 110 pitches to make it through 5 2/3 innings. He retired the side in order just once (the fifth) but stranded seven baserunners by working out of several jams created by a lack of command.
Guthrie loaded the bases to open the second on singles by Alexei Ramirez and Dayan Viciedo and a walk of Alejandro De Aza. After striking out Tyler Flowers, Guthrie walked Adam Eaton to force home a run, but he escaped further damage with a strikeout of Gordon Beckham and flyout by Conor Gillaspie.
With two outs in the fourth, Eaton singled and Gurthrie plunked Beckham, but Gordon saved Guthrie by making a nice sliding grab on Gillaspie's liner to left.
"That's a two-run double, single, triple potentially if he doesn't make that diving catch, but that's what Alex does 99 out of 100 times for us, is makes a great play," Guthrie said.
After De Aza singled with one out and Eaton walked with two, Yost yanked Guthrie for Aaron Crow, who got Beckham to pop out on the first pitch. Afterward, Yost said he was happy Guthrie was able to make it past the fifth inning, considering that the righty needed 74 pitches to get through three.
"I don't think I felt very comfortable ever, the way that I started," Guthrie said. "It was nice to have a quick inning in the fifth, but that was really probably the only inning that I really felt confident about what I was doing out there tonight. It was a battle."
Guthrie's ability to grind through 5 2/3 innings, along with his nine strikeouts -- tying his most as a Royal -- had Yost calling Guthrie's start a "tremendous game."
"There's a lot we control as pitchers, a lot we can do to keep the momentum on our side in those other games, but really despite what we may do, the win-loss isn't always dependent on the pitcher's effort," Guthrie said. "This is a very ironic way to pick up a win after a long stretch: not pitch very well, not pitch too deep in the game but do enough to help the team win."
Kansas City added a run in the seventh on Butler's second RBI single of the night. Omar Infante picked up his third single of the evening with one out, and Butler drove him in after Hosmer walked. The Royals' one though four hitters went 8-for-16 with six runs scored and four RBIs.
Though the Royals entered Friday night's game with a much-needed 10 homers in their previous 13 games, they scored seven runs on Friday without one. Eight of their 12 hits were singles, showing the lineup's versatility. Things have clicked since Dale Sveum took over as hitting coach two weeks ago and stressed the importance of forcing the opposing pitcher to elevate the ball. Hosmer noted that Kansas City did so from the onset on Friday, punishing a couple of high sliders from Quintana to set the tone.
"We've been doing a good job. We've been disciplined at the plate," Hosmer said. "Guys are working walks, guys are working good at-bats, so we've just got to keep it going."
The win put the Royals (34-32) two games over .500 for the first time since April 30. Kansas City has won eight of its past 10 games, and it is finally starting to resemble the team that last season challenged for a Wild Card berth and finished with the club's first winning record since 2003.
"We're playing good baseball, but we still have plenty more to improve on and get better at," Guthrie said. "It's a long, long season, so we're hoping to stay healthy and hoping to be able to do what we're doing the last week and a half, two weeks."

DETROIT -- When all was said and done on Sunday, after the Lions eighth straight loss which capped a disappointing 4-12 season, Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz would not address his future with the team.
In his four seasons, Schwartz is 22-42 after taking over an 0-16 team. He's had one winning season when they finished 10-6 in 2011 and went to the playoffs.
Prior to this season, he signed a contract extension that reportedly runs through 2015. Schwartz or the Lions would never discuss his contract terms.
"The thing I'm most concerned about is getting this team back to where we all want it to be. When the story of the season is written, it's going to say 4-12 and nobody's happy with that - players, coaches, front office, ownership, everybody,'' Schwartz said.
"Everybody's in the same boat with that. But we're all focused on getting that right. There's nobody happy with that. And whether you're a player or you're a coach in this league, it just comes with the territory, and particularly when you have a season like we did,'' he added.
There were conflicting reports Sunday on Schwartz's job status for next season.
He was pushed to answer if he expects to be back next season and would only say, "I'm only concerned with getting this team back. That's the thing I'm most concerned with.''
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the Ford family has discussed buying out Schwartz's contract and moving on. Reportedly they are unhappy with the culture of the team.
Jason LaCanfora, the insider for CBSSports.com, reported that Schwartz is safe as did ProFootballTalk.com.
A week ago, ESPN's Adam Schefter also reported that Schwartz is safe.
The Ford family has a long history of loyalty to general managers and coaches.
It'd be surprising to see them give up on Schwartz or general manager Martin Mayhew who just finished his fourth full season.
Last week Schwartz said he thought offensive coordinator Scott Linehan had done "a great job."
Linehan and defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham each has a year remaining on his contract.
Cunningham, who is 66, said last week that he had no plans to retire.
There could be some shakeup among the position coaches. That should unfold in the next week or two.

There are about three teams that need a PG and are interested in Tinsley, but they are calling the Pacers's bluff. They know the Pacers are desperate to move Tinsley and are going to wait it out because they can't beleive a team would pay a player that they don't want. The Heat want to rob the Pacers by asking for a lst round pick with Tinsley, the Nuggets want cash along with Tinsley, and the Warriors are the most stubborn acting like their is no one on their roster worth Tinsley. All these teams are pulling the Indy's card, because of the Pacers public blunders.

Re: My Husband and Cholangiocarcinoma - Part 2
I am still very new to these boards , but have been doing lots of "lurking" to find as much info as I possibly can. I must say , you and your husband are an inspiration. I realize that he is the one who is sick. But, illness affects a whole family , not just one person. You are so brave. I also admire how you seem to have maintained a sense of humour and you are taking the time to help others on this board ( including me ) who are unfortunately new to all this . Thank you.
By the way , I am Canadian so perhaps the "rules" are different , but legally a physician can write an rx for a narc for up to 35 days . Not sure what it is in the US , but it may be easier if your Dr wrote for more days supply at a time. Also, remember when you do pay $$$ , keep your receipt for tax purposes as a medical expense. I am sure you have many other expenses and they all add up. Also, usually a pharmacy can use their discretion when it comes to filling narcs early. If they know your hubby , they should be using common sense and realize that he is legit.

HOOPA -- Whether or not Blessed Kateri Mission Church soon will be changing its name, Catholics in Hoopa and surrounding communities are excited at the upcoming canonization of Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha on Oct. 21 -- the first Native American saint. Her story is simple and powerful.
The Jesuits who chronicled her life tell us that Kateri was born in 1656 in what is now Auriesville, N.Y., on the southern bank of the Mohawk River. At the age of 4, she was orphaned when a smallpox epidemic killed her Algonquin Christian mother and Mohawk-warrior father. She also endured the disease and was badly scarred on her face. Her eyesight was also impaired, earning her the name Tekakwitha, which means "she who bumps into things."
Tekakwitha lived with her uncle, and even though a marriage was arranged, she took a vow of perpetual virginity and ran away to a Catholic Indian settlement. There she worked with the sick and lived a simple life of devotion. After she died in 1680, the people of her community witnessed the miraculous clearing of her face, leaving her skin smooth and scar-free.
Catholics began petitioning the Vatican to declare her a saint in 1880. One hundred years later, the Vatican certified the first miracle attributed to her intercession.
Last year, the second required miracle was certified by the Vatican with the healing of a flesh-eating infection in an American Indian boy in Washington state.
Stanley M. Perry, a Navajo who is active in trying to save a sacred wetland in Kansas, said that having a Mohawk honored in the Catholic Church might also heal divisions.
"She can help us by connecting us together," Perry said. She may be a saint of the Catholics, he said, but as a Mohawk she can signify the sacredness of all life.
Blessed Kateri Mission Church will celebrate a service in honor of Tekakwitha's canonization, at the cross on Bald Hill in Hoopa at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 21, up Pine Creek Road. The Revs. Michael Cloney and Gregory Villaescusa will officiate. A potluck will follow the service.
Another reason for celebration is the appointment of a new priest to serve the congregation of Blessed Kateri. It has been about 10 years since a priest has been assigned to the church. Sister Patricia Carson RSM has been the church's administrator since the departure of Father Ralph Monteiro. Health issues forced Carson's recent departure, and Deacon Ken Bond and his wife Rose have been keeping the Eucharistic services going, along with Deacon Francis Davis and his wife Mary Lou, and leaders from the congregation.
"The community is excited to welcome Villaescusa," said church member LeRoy Cyr. "He brings energy and enthusiasm, a lively preaching style, and a willingness to accommodate the needs of the local people."
Born and raised in Southern California, Villaescusa's family of origin now lives in Oregon. He will also be serving the Neuman Center at Humboldt State University and helping with the Spanish Masses at Sacred Heart Church in Eureka.
Blessed Kateri Mission was founded in 1956 and the congregation currently comprises about 40 people. Typically, the Sunday Mass service is at 10 a.m. (In light of the 2:30 p.m. celebration on Oct. 21, there may not be a regular Mass at the church that morning.)
On Nov. 10, Blessed Kateri Mission Church will hold its annual dinner and auction. Community members are invited to come and get a jump on Christmas shopping, help the community with parish expenses and enjoy a tasty meal with the company of friends and neighbors.
To reach the Bald Hill cross where the special service will take place Oct. 21, take State Route 96 into Hoopa Valley and turn left onto Loop Road. Proceed up the road about 0.25 mile and turn right onto Pine Creek Road. Drive about nine miles and turn right on Bloody Camp Road -- a large, white cross is visible from the road on the upper vista. Proceed another half mile up this road to the cross. (Signs and balloons will mark the route that afternoon.)
A potluck will follow at Kateri Hall, at the church in Hoopa. To reach the church, take State Route 96 into Hoopa Valley and turn left onto Loop Road. Proceed up the road about 0.25 mile and turn right onto Pine Creek Road. Drive another 1.5 miles to Blessed Kateri Lane; the mission and hall are both located on the right.
For more information, call Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Mission at (530) 625-4415 or write to the church at P.O. Box 429, Hoopa, CA, 95546.

Prosecutors: Cause of baby's death more severe than first thought
YAKIMA, Wash. -- A 22-year-old man told police that his "reckless" actions directly caused the death of a 23-month-old baby Wednesday night in Selah, according to court documents.
David Holbrook, 22, made his first court appearance Thursday afternoon. He was booked on manslaughter, but prosecutors said that might climb to murder.
Holbrook told police he was watching his girlfriend's baby Wednesday evening at a home on Jim Clements Way. He told investigators that at one point he threw the baby up with so much force it hit the ceiling.
The baby was not breathing when medical personnel arrived, they said. The baby was pronounced dead at the hospital.
According to court documents, he also admitted that he didn't call 911 until after he called a friend first. That friend stopped by and told him to call police.
When police read Holbrook his Miranda rights he changed his story, according to affidavit. He told them he lied the first time because he did not want to be the cause of the baby's death.
Medical staff couldn't comment on the baby's condition but said there was bruising.
Yakima County's coroner could not release that cause of death.
A judge set Holbrook's bail at $1 million. The investigation is ongoing.

The location itself is bad enough (right next to the highway, so noobish stray shots can cause serious accidents), but the idea of trying to jam 24 holes in a park smaller than raintree is just confounding! It makes absolutely no sense to try to pack so many into such a small space; and half the "holes" are alternate tees that are less than 20 feet away from the original. Why even bother trying to call it a different hole when it's nearly identical?
Not to mention that practically all of the holes are between 100 and 250 feet! this is more like a crappy disc "putt putt" course than a disc golf course.
Also, the use of the walking trail as a tee pad on multiple holes is questionable at best. It inconveniences both golfer and walker having to wait for one or the other to clear out before either can proceed. Did the designer not realize that there are a lot of people who go walking in this park? I feel like the time that I didn't spend walking from hole to hole (for the size of the course there was a lot of misappropriated empty space between the basket and the next tee on nearly every hole) was spent waiting for the multiple walkers and runners to clear the course. Especially the hole where you throw down the length of the trail and have the houses on your right.
This is by and far the biggest waste of space ever dedicated to disc golf. I am abhorred, appalled, and deeply disturbed to have witnessed such a travesty to such a great game.

Steven Ng, Vice President of Professional Services for Acumetrics came to Rackspace after a hard drive failure took their email down for a week and reallocated Steven's time from billable work to fixing email. Due to a failed backup, they also lost a week's worth of email. By outsourcing their email to Rackspace, they now have dedicated support when they have email issues from our team of email experts.
According to Steven, "We lost enough time and money from one outage to pay for Rackspace hosting service for a year." When they experienced a recent outage, they reviewed our resolution report and determined, "that issue would have taken us hours to diagnose and even longer to fix." Outsourcing allows Steven to focus on growing their business while we worry about making sure his email is operational.
According to a report by Osterman Research there's a 72% chance you'll experience an unplanned email outage this year per. With each outage, businesses can expect an average of 62 hours of downtime. The report also shows that 41% of unplanned outages are due to technological issues: software configuration errors, outdated drives, or HVAC issues. Hardware failures alone accounted for over a quarter of unplanned outages. Even a short outage can have long-term consequence, like missing important customer communication, total loss of email data, and lost productivity.
With all the things that can go wrong with email, putting it in the hands of email experts makes sense. Rackspace's email infrastructure is built on a redundant, clustered server environment with automatic failover measures.

thanks for info guys on the OTR ........
The Brewers have half-price tickets during April and May until school is out.
I really have to wonder why their attendance is so high with half-price tickets. If I could sit in a box for 20 bucks I would go more often.
I'm guilty of both of the above emotions. I've got a four hour drive roundtrip. If I'm going to head down to GABP, not only do I have to make time, but the weather needs to be decent. I think that's fair and I don't think I'm less of a fan because of it.Must we have perfect weather to take in a ballgame around here?
Since the days of the Big Red Machine, if not before, the Reds have been heavily dependent on highway visitors from about four states and a hundred miles or more away. Those folks plan their journeys in advance, and for stretches when school is not a factor. They also use a lot of gas, the price of which is at present daunting.
I've also got memories of $1600 worth of damage when I got caught in a hailstorm around the IND-OH state line on I-74 while on my way to a 2002 game. That's the last time I bought tickets in advance to a Reds game.
Hopefully I'll catch one of the games on the upcoming homestead. With any luck, Arroyo will be on the mound.
I've never had a problem in downtown Cincinnati and I never understand why the folks on WLW are always talking about this fear of being killed downtown. From what I hear, you're fine as long as you are south of the Central Parkway(I think that's the name of it). I've parked on both sides of the river for games and never had a problem. The homeless people are *****cats compared to those in New York and Chicago, and even those folks are tame compared to the gypsy gangs you encounter in some of the major cities of Europe. I've felt safer going to games at GABP, Paul Brown Stadium and Riverfront than most other parks I've been to, including Wrigley, US Cellular, Tigers Stadium, Yankees Stadium, Cleveland Browns Stadium, and the Jake. I'd feel safer in downtown Cincinnati than I would in downtown Dayton, Toledo or Youngstown. I feel like the "danger" of Cincinnati is largely a creation of the talking heads on WLW.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
I have to agree somewhat. I'm currently here in Dayton and am dating someone who works at Cincy Children's and lives within walking distance of there, near MLK Blvd and UC's campus. It's given me some good perspective since I'm in Dayton during the week and spend most weekends down in Cincinnati. I honestly feel safer in most areas of Cincy than I do in certain areas of Dayton, despite the smaller size. Really though, it's just a matter of not pointlessly wandering around an area you are unfamiliar with at night that has few people around, no matter what city you're in.Originally Posted by Yachtzee
And Dayton does have very safe areas as well. I actually live in the same apt. complex as most of the Dayton Dragons. I don't need a schedule to tell me when they are at home or on a roadtrip, just have to look across the hall!
If the team is still playing well when the weather heats up more fans will be there.
Schott, Lindner, Bowden, Allen and O'Brien have done more harm to this franchise than the neighborhood or a few homeless folks could ever do.
Most of the voices heard on WLW should Always be taken with a grain of salt.
we walk across the "blue bridge", I don't know the name of it. We usually park in a parking complex just across the river in KY. It's great on a Sunday afternoon, but, like I said. It doesn't seem to safe at 11:00 at night.Originally Posted by Cyclone792
It's probably just me.
Where is the best place to park, coming from KY?
"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
I once went to a Raider game in Los Angeles, and I had to pay for car "protection" insurance. (I think that was how they phrased it) I didn't care if the Bengals won or lost, I just wanted to get back to my car and see if it was still there! Thankfully it was.........
My Dad has stories like that from the old Crosley Field days. You'd park on the street and some of the neighborhood kids would "watch your car" for a dollar. Dad said he always paid the dollar and his car was always fine when he got back.Originally Posted by Deepred05
...until the kids take two bucks to look the other way when the car thieves come around.Originally Posted by BuckWoody
We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.

When we heard Apple (AAPL) was looking for someone to spice up the virtual personality of Siri, the iPhone's virtual personal assistant, we decided to go straight to the virtual source. Here's what Siri had to say.
Me: Hi Siri, how are you doing?
Siri: Very well, thank you!
Me: Have you heard about the new job posting over at Apple? They're looking to hire a creative writer who can help spice up your personality. It was first reported on the 9to5Mac blog and the news has spread like wildfire. What do you think of that?
Siri: Fascinating, Captain.
Me: It's not that we find you shallow or boring, although sometimes you do tend to get a bit lazy and cynical and even grouchy with some of your replies to our iPhone queries. But apparently Apple, which declined to immediately comment for this story, feels you're a bit flat. Your reaction?
Siri: Hmm ... I don't think I've heard that before.
Me: Well, we're not making this up. Here's what Apple said in the job listing: "We're looking for a uniquely creative individual to help us evolve and enrich Siri, our virtual personal assistant. Siri's known for 'her' wit, cultural knowledge, and zeal to explain things in engaging, funny, and practical ways." Your reaction?
Siri: Interesting.
Me: The ad also said "the ideal candidate is someone who combines a love for language, wordplay, and conversation with demonstrated experience in bringing creative content to life within an intense technical environment." So it looks like they want someone who's good at "wordplay" to help you find your groove.
Siri: If you insist.
Me: It's not me who's insisting, Siri. It's Apple, the same people who created you and now want to "evolve and enrich" you. So again, what do you think of that?
Siri: It's nice of you to ask, but it doesn't really matter what I think.
Me: Sure it does. After all, you're the one who's about to have your attitude adjusted. Now please tell us what you think.
Siri: I think, therefore I am. But let's not put Descartes before the horse.
Me: Cute. It seems like you've got a ton of personality already. Maybe Apple's overthinking this thing?
Siri: I really couldn't say.
Me: Do you think this job position makes sense?
Siri: I think different-ly.
Me: Hmm. Geez, maybe your personality's already playful enough?
Siri: I don't know what you mean by "Is your personality playful." How about a Web search for it?
Me: Forget it.
Siri: There's nothing to cancel.
Me: Forget it!
Siri: There's nothing to cancel!
Me: Never mind.
Siri: Fine.

2005 Highway Invasion Tour Custom Truck Show - Charleston Invaded!
The Highway Invasion Tour Took No Casualties But Created Lots Of Fun
We're not talking about the siege of Fort Sumter, although the late-night activities of the Highway Invasion Tour certainly ignited their own brand of fireworks. The five-city swing through the Southeast, beginning with Charleston, South Carolina, was a peaceful invasion, even though the two-day show took the town by storm. Enthusiastic truckers gathered at the Ladson Exchange Park for a weekend of old-fashion, hell-raisin' fun.
Although this was the Highway Invasion crew's first visit to Charleston, they are well-versed as show promoters with many years of experience. The family and friends that make up Drop Jaw Promotions host half a dozen big-name shows throughout the year for East Coast truckers like the legendary Big Show in Richmond Motorsports Park, the Freak Show in Kinston, North Carolina, Evolution in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and more. Taking their particular brand of entertainment on the road is something new to the crew, but if the Charleston crowd is any indication, they can expect a warm reception at future tour stops. Show promoters Mike and Glenn Pilgreen are assisted by a motivated group of enthusiasts who have been active in the lifestyle since 1990. Drawing on those years of experience, the promotional team ensures that showgoers enjoy a guaranteed good time with everything they expect from a truck show and more.
The collection of vehicles, displayed around the lake in beautiful Ladson Exchange Park on the outskirts of Charleston, was the main attraction, although there were lots of other pleasant diversions such as accessory vendors, photographers offering shots of your truck, food concessions, magazine crews, and live entertainment. The fairground has about a half-mile loop around the lake, perfect for a leisurely stroll to check out the latest in automotive trends.
Family oriented activities during the day gave way to a different brand of entertainment that night. When the sun goes down, put the little ones to bed, and get ready for some strictly adult entertainment. Drop Jaw's legendary, late-night parties have a huge East Coast fan base, and now Charleston truckers know why. Local music groups warmed up the crowd, but when the sun went down and the stage lights came up, the silhouette of a beautiful dancer appeared on the curtain, giving the crowd an indicator of things to come.
Rapstar Akineyle teamed up with Drop Jaw's own rap celebrity, Mike Pilgreen, as the curtain opened to reveal a pair of smokin'-hot customs on stage along with a pair of equally hot chicks doing their thing on dancing platforms. Music from Matt Jones' Carolina Entertainment got the girls and the crowd motivated. The bikini contest and wet T-shirt contest heated things up even more, with the girls working hard to earn some cash. The competition was tough and temperatures soared, but gorgeous Nicole took home the $500 prize. The afterparty continued the fun till the wee hours of the morning.
Guys had opportunities to score some cash as well. The Sunday morning Hydro Demo saw serious hydraulic and air action, with the switchmen putting on a quality show for the cheering crowd. Two of the trucks were within a degree or two of rolling over. Davey, from Above Reality, captured the winner-take-all, $500 prize. Once the flames and hydraulic spills were contained, the combination of noise, smoke, and rubber dust was next on the agenda, as the burn-out contestants fired up their motors and the fans. Charleston truckers came prepared, rolling in with high-horsepower rides capable of disintegrating tires at will. Kevin did it best in his big-block Chevy C10, pocketing $200 for his efforts. From smoking tires to twangy guitars, the crowd shifted its attention to the hard-rockin' sounds of Quench on the main stage. It was the perfect lead in to the awards ceremony, where more than 125 drivers added a Drop Jaw trophy to their collection. Check out the details about the rest of the Highway Invasion tour on www.dropjawmag.com. This is entertainment you won't want to miss.

Roommates. What are they exactly? People that you either choose or are forced to share a very cramped space with; or something much more? Living in the first year area, you'll get to know everyone quite intimately fairly quickly because everyone lives within such close proximity to each other. You learn some things about each other that you probably don't know about yourself. Being a Resident Advisor for a floor of first year students, sure I've seen squabbles go down, but I've also seen friendships and bonds form that will continue to bloom throughout their time at UNE and beyond.
Roommates have to be able to share and communicate in order to form such a bond. Getting to know each other and getting to know each others' little quirks will go a long way, but the hardest part is leaving your comfort zone. For first year students, this is quite possibly their first time leaving the nest and experiencing the world on their own. From personal experience, this is a scary point in anyone's life. No more Mom and Dad to come and check under the bed for monsters or to make sure all of your work is done.
Getting to know people may be a scary thing too, but it doesn't have to be difficult. Attempt to learn the hobbies of those around you; chances are that they are going to like similar things. Despite contrary belief, there are actually things to do on campus. You can:
- Go to the UNE Fitness Center. This is a good time to blow off some of the college jitters, get to know each other, and beat the dreaded "freshman fifteen". Your roommate can be great motivation to keep you on a good schedule.
- Go to one of the many on campus events. The Activities Programming Board puts on weekly events which include movies, games, and live entertainment. Bring your roommate and enjoy a good flick or win some prizes for participating. Follow them on Twitter for updates on campus activities.\
- Take advantage of the box office. The box office located in the Campus Center offers discounted tickets to movies and sporting events. Also, they offer tickets to off campus activities as well. Rock climbing at the Maine Rock Gym and even Scuba Classes are some of the activities they offer free or at a discounted rate to students!
- Take a road trip. From experience, Biddeford may not be the most aesthetically pleasing town, but the surrounding area is. Take a ride down the highway, explore, and enjoy the "Way Life Should Be."
- Hit up the Portland mall. There is a perfectly good mall within driving range with a lot of stuff to do. Nice food court, good shopping, and amazing people watching locations.
- Visit the Heart of Biddeford. Through this locally run organization, you and your roommates can learn about the historical background Biddeford and everything out area has to offer
Your roommates can be someone that you can share almost anything with, because at this point, you are more like family now. The bonds you make here and now, they will only get stronger as long as you learn to be honest and communicate. I have seen far too many friendships in my day go downhill because of the lack of communication. If you have an issue with them, sit them down and have a civil conversation to clear the air. If you need help doing this, seek out your RA! That is one of the many things that they are there to assist you with. It kills me on the inside to see two people who I know have such a great bond lose it for such petty arguments.
Michael Sang is currently a Senior, who expects to graduate at the end of this semester. He enjoys long walks on the beach and playing with kittens, but nothing more than to be with his residents. Making his debut appearance in the housing department this year, he has worked diligently with his first year girls, making sure that their transition into UNE has been comfortable for them. Along with the duties that come along with being an RA, he is an active member of the Biddeford community where he volunteers as both a mentor and at an after school program.

Borderline Osteoporosis in an 83-Year Old
My mother is 83 years old. She was hospitalized with severe Myasthenia Gravis (she had a crisis requiring ventilation) three years ago at which time she was put on high-dose prednisone. At that time, she had a baseline bone-density test which revealed very mild osteopenia. Since then, her MG has stabilized resulting in a lowering of prednisone usage from the original 100mg every other day (she was on this high-dose regimen and a subsequent taper for only about 6 mos.) to 10mg every other day. No Fosamax or drug like it was ever recommended to prevent osteoporosis.
Last month, a bone density test was repeated and showed excellent spine and arm scores (normal/amazing). However, my mother has a T-score of -2.43 in her hip which, I believe--although referred to in the report as "osteopenia"--is actually borderline osteoporosis.
My mother`s primary care physician thinks she is doing marvelously well in spite of the -2.43 T-score--and has recommended "no medication" at this time. Steps will be taken to try to lower the prednisone usage even further.
Although I am elated that my mother will not be adding another drug to her daily regimen (which already includes the alternate-day prednisone in addition to daily imuran and mestinon), I am concerned about whether or not low-dose Fosamax should, in fact, be considered. Again, the primary care physician thinks that, given my mother`s age (83), even for a person who has never taken prednisone, she is doing extremely well. She continues to take Caltrate/Vitamin D and to eat and drink calcium every day.
I am looking to you for some kind of justification/encouragement--in spite of my concern--to feel good about my mother`s score and her doctor`s decision to refrain from putting her on Fosamax or a drug like it to prevent further bone loss in her hip.
Aside from the MG, my mother is in extraordinarily good health--for any age.
Do you think the decision of her doctor to forego Fosomax or a drug like it--is one I should accept?
Thank you so much for your help.
It is good your mother is doing so well with all she has experienced. The risk of breaking a hip is high at 83 regardless of T-score and hip fractures have a high rate of complications the older the patient. What you might do is calculate the "FRAX" score for your mother and discuss it with her physician:
Google "FRAX" and select the calculator tool. Be sure to select the appropriate country and gender. It will calculate your mother's percent chance of fracture in the next 10 years for any major fracture and in particular a hip fracture. The level for intervention with a medication would be a risk of:
More than or equal to 20% for a major fracture
More than or equal to 3% for a hip fracture

Corbett prepares to confront Pa. pension predicament
Gov. Tom Corbett has made it no secret that pension reform tops his legislative to-do list for 2013.
For months, Corbett has been referring to Pennsylvania's rising pension costs as a Pac-Man poised to consume the state budget.
But he says he's still not ready to divulge what reform might look like. And to those prodding him to offer solutions for the state's pension problem, Corbett says, "Slow down."
"There is no silver bullet," he said during a conference of county commissioners. "This is going to be hard and it's going to take a lot of work. And it's going to be difficult. But if we don't do it now, 15 years from now, budgets are going to go entirely to pensions."
State lawmakers have proposed switching new and volunteering current state employees to a 401(k)-style pension plan more common in the private sector.
Corbett doesn't even hint at how much that will play into a reform plan.
He says only that he's in talks with the Legislature, and will play this hand close to the vest well into next year.

Since this magazine's re-launch last year, we've taken pains to incorporate scenic drives and destination stories into our editorial plans as frequently as possible. Modern Corvettes are toweringly capable sports-touring machines, goes the reasoning, so why not put their cosseting capabilities to good use out on the open road?
In the months that followed, our Corvette peregrinations carried us to the southernmost tip of the continental U.S., across Death Valley to Las Vegas, over the undulating pasturelands of Wisconsin, and down some of the lesser-known shunpikes of Southern California. But while these destinations all provided a chance to enjoy the car in a relaxed setting, none supplied the performance-minded Vette owner with an opportunity to experience Chevy's speedy two-seater the way Mr. Duntov intended. What we needed was a road trip capable of satisfying both halves of the sports-touring equation.
An opportunity eventually materialized in the form of the 2011 Holley LS Fest, held near the speed-parts manufacturer's headquarters in lovely Bowling Green, Kentucky. Launched last year, the Fest is a multipart motorsports event open to all LS-powered vehicles, regardless of make or vintage. When GM agreed to lend us a Jetstream Blue Grand Sport convertible for the week, we blocked out our calendar and made plans to take the 12-hour drive from our office in Tampa to deep into the heart of horse country.
Aside from an unprovoked wasp attack outside the Shell station in Manchester, Tennessee (Vols fans, doubtless), the 1,673-mile round trip passed without incident, reaffirming our opinion of the latest C6 as a road warrior extraordinaire. Indeed, whether traversing somnifacient stretches of Interstate in northern Florida, surmounting red-clay hillocks in central Georgia, or wending through the rock-walled defiles of the Cumberland Plateau, our Grand Sport never failed to comport itself in the manner suggested by its ambitious appellation. And while insurance restrictions prevented us from entering the car in any of the Fest's motorsports activities, it was clear that, even in showroom-stock form, it would have fared respectably in every category.
If you've always wanted to experience your LS-powered Corvette to the fullest extent of its abilities on both the road and track, a road trip to the Holley LS Fest in Bowling Green should be at the top of your motoring to-do list. For complete results from the 2011 Fest, and up-to-date information on next year's event, visit www.holley.com/lsfest.

Notes from the RoadTo avoid unwanted attention from law enforcement, we set the Grand Sport's cruise control to 9 mph over the speed limit while on the highway. The tactic proved effective, as we sailed through several speed traps without incident during the course of our trip.
Kentucky is not an indoor clean-air state, so be sure to specify a nonsmoking hotel room if you prefer one.
Beech Bend may be the only motorsports facility in the world whose entrance is patrolled by a battalion of miniature goats.
With the top up, our Grand Sport's trunk ingested one large suitcase, a laptop computer, and an average-size electric-guitar case, leaving the passenger seat free for camera gear and road food.
Nissan drivers near the carmaker's manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tennessee, are strangely confrontational on the road. Wave them past and live to race--legally--another day.
The Grand Sport's only interior demerit arises from the hard plastic framing the center console, where a taller driver's knee will naturally tend to rest. On the plus side, fully inflating the driver seat's lumbar support is wonderfully effective at warding off lower-back pain during extended periods behind the wheel.

Chuck Olsen Co. sells for DiMare/Indio
The Chuck Olsen Co., Visalia, Calif., is now the sales agent for DiMare/Indio, Indio, Calif., said Jeff Olsen, vice president.
That means the Chuck Olsen Co. should have about 600,000 more cartons of lemons, tangerines, murcotts, minneolas and grapefruit to offer this season.
The firm also plans to offer a consolidation service and plans to import Peruvian flame table grapes from late November through late December to bridge the gap between California and Chilean grapes.
The Chilean deal may start a little later than usual and have lighter volume than normal this year, Olsen said.
Freshway Foods tests produce vending
Forget sugary snacks and soft drinks. Freshway Foods, Sidney, Ohio, planned to install in a school in Ohio a refrigerated vending machine that's stocked exclusively with up to 18 fresh produce items, said Dan Purdy, vice president of sales and marketing.
Purdy expected testing of the new machine to begin in late November.
The vending machine is the first in the U.S. that he is aware of that is stocked only with produce. Offerings include apples, carrots, cantaloupe, honeydew melons and seasonal items.
GreenGate Fresh doubles processing
GreenGate Fresh LLP, Salinas, Calif., has doubled its capacity to accommodate more business, said Jay Iverson, partner and vice president of sales and marketing.
The company, which serves foodservice accounts exclusively, also has added washing and bagging equipment for its processed lettuce, cabbage and romaine.
Those items are major salad ingredients, and the company has chosen to focus on those core products, Iverson said.
"We'd rather be good at a couple of things instead of being average on a bunch."
GreenGate also made modifications and expanded capacity at its Yuma, Ariz., facility during the summer in order to expand capacity.
Hollandia Produce uses fill-and-seal bag
Hollandia Produce LLC, Carpinteria, Calif., packages its upland cress in a form-fill-and-seal bag like the ones that salad mixes come in, said Vince Choate, director of marketing.
"We harvest our upland cress and form a bag around it," he said.
The bag is available for foodservice as well as retail.
Naturipe's single packs enter foodservice
Naturipe Berry Farms LLC, Naples, Fla., has chosen to launch its single-serve fresh blueberry packs in the foodservice sector, even though less than 5% of the company's fresh blueberry sales go to foodservice operators.
Eventually, the single-serve packs will be available in several size options, but for now, Naturipe is marketing the berries in rigid, heat-sealed film packs that come in three-count, 1.5-ounce packs for retail and foodservice.
Customized pack sizes can be as small as three-quarters of an ounce for foodservice applications, such as pancake toppings, salad or yogurt parfait additions, and in larger restaurant packs of several pounds.
"By making the berries more convenient, there should be no problem getting to more than 5% (of foodservice sales) and quickly to 10% or more," Robert Verloop, executive vice president of marketing, said in a news release.
West Pak Avocado rolls out new carton
West Pak Avocado Inc., Temecula, Calif., introduced a carton for all of its Mexican avocados packed at the company's facility in Uruapan, said Doug Meyer, vice president of sales and marketing.
"Our carton has been updated with new graphics and several design features to improve strength and to accommodate our new (Produce Traceability Initiative) labels that bring us into full compliance with our industry's PTI Initiative," he said.
The new design covers West Pak's full line of avocados, including the West Pak No. 1 Grade label, organic avocados and the Dos Amigos No. 2 Grade label.
"We are sourcing avocados from Mexico and Chile and offer the full line of packs, grades and ripening levels for our foodservice customers," Meyer said.

A WOMAN who terrorised a neighbourhood with wild house parties and loud music for more than a year has been handed an ASBO.
Neighbours said Samantha Jones, 25, wreaked havoc on her close knit housing estate in St Margaret's Way, Audley, Blackburn. Some residents said the problem had got so bad, the mother-of-two was 'ruining their lives'.
Hyndburn magistrates gave Jones a two year ASBO, banning her from inciting others to act in an anti-social manner. She must also not cause harassment, stress or alarm using threatening or racial language.
She was also banned from playing music at a volume which could be heard outside her home and told not to be drunk or illegally intoxicated in any public place.
Another condition of the ASBO bans her from contacting a number of residents of her street.
Samantha Kelly, 22, who lives nearby, said: "This woman's behaviour has ruined my home life. I am moving out because of her.
"She would throw loud parties at all times of the day and night that spilled out onto the street. She always had massive groups of lads knocking around, and there were fights at her house.
"I have an 11-week-old baby and Sam made my pregnancy hell. I spent weeks in tears after she started targeting me."
Neighbours said Jones, a mother-of-two, played TV channel 'The Hits' at full volume at all times of the day and night and they would be verbally abused if they asked her to turn the music down.
They also complained of bottles being smashed in the street, having to witness people smashing Jones windows and covering her home in paint.
Police said they had even received complaints from residents about Jones using drugs in front of local children.
Resident Kellie Webster, 31, said: "The effects of her behaviour have been absolutely devastating.
"I have two impressioable children who have asked me really awkward questions after seeing Samantha taking drugs in the street.
"She has made our lives a misery."
Fellow resident Laura Spencer, 19, said she hoped the ASBO would make a real difference to the neighbourhood and she was pleased it had been granted.
The ASBO has been secured jointly by Audley neighbourhood policing team and Contour Housing Association.
Sgt Jon Cisco, Audley neighbourhood policing team, said: "We've tried to work with Samantha Jones but her behaviour has continued to cause problems.
"In addition to the ASBO, we will be supporting her to address long-term issues around substance misuse. I hope this order reassures people that we do take action to address anti-social behaviour."
Chris Langan, assistant director of customer services at Contour Homes, said: "We have been working closely with the police, after receiving dozens of complaints about noise and visitors to the property. We are pleased that the police have taken this action."
Anyone who witnesses Jones breach the conditions of her ASBO should call police on 101 .

NEW figures reveal that Cheshire West and Chester Council is the best in the north west for arranging adoptions.
The data is featured in the newly-published Adoption Scorecard which lists the adoption statistics of 152 authorities in England.
It also shows that Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC) is one of just 36 councils nationally to achieve both targets, known as thresholds, under a rigorous new Government approach to improving performance in the adoption system.
CWAC achieved the threshold for children being adopted within 20 months of entering into care, the process taking an average 538 days against a national average of 647 days, which places it 22nd out of all local authorities.
The figures also reveal that the council met the threshold for matching a child to an adoptive family within six months of receiving court authority.
The authority achieved this within an average 111 days compared with 210 days nationally, ranking it in 16th place.
Covering the three years to March 2013, the data shows CWAC is the region's top performing authority in both thresholds.
Clr Mark Stocks, executive member for children and young people, said: "The scorecard results are very encouraging and reflect our commitment to providing secure and loving new homes for those children who need them, in which they can flourish.
"I would like to thank our dedicated social work teams who have worked hard to secure these pleasing results.
"However, there will be no complacency. We must keep on improving to meet the demand from rising numbers of children coming into our care, and encouraging even more potential adopters to come forward is absolutely vital."

I haven't looked at Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) in a while, but when I did, I found something I liked. This trade setup started on the weekly chart with a price cluster of support showing at the $54.16 to $54.55 area. This zone includes a 0.382 retracement of one swing and a 0.786 retracement of another, along with a 1.272 extension of a prior swing up. These price relationships are overlapped by a very important 100% price projection of a prior swing down. Note the first swing down on the weekly chart into the June 2012 low was $17.07 in price. The second swing down illustrated on this same chart was very similar at $17.28. This "symmetry" (similarity of swings in the same direction) was an important component of the buy setup zone in this case. Sometimes major lows are made at these types of projections on the weekly charts. The recent low in this stock was at $54.33, directly within this key zone.
Sometimes I will provide trade setup zones in advance and have you look for a buy trigger to see if it is worth placing a bet against a particular zone. In this case, the zone has been tested and held. Since the upside potential is rather healthy, as long as price continues to hold above this key low, we are not late to the party. The upside potential of this pattern shows us that the $81.69 area is a possibility. Pay special attention to a healthy hurdle on the way up, however, at the $67.17 to $67.62 area, which is where I would be concerned about a possible failure if we get there. That is where I would protect profits a little more aggressively if I were long.
The strategy is to consider the buy side in this stock with the maximum risk defined below the $54.33 swing low. Options strategies or outright purchases may be in order. If I can better refine a low risk entry in coming sessions, I will post it on the market updates section. Otherwise, you know what your risk is and your upside targets.

text: East End Bazaar opens Saturday By Jim Balow September 13, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Photographers, painters, a jeweler, a potter, a weaver and a baker are among the vendors who plan to sell their wares Saturday at the grand opening of the East End Bazaar, the outdoor artisan market at the corner of Ruffner Avenue and Washington Street.While teams of volunteers spent more than 1,300 man hours this summer building the market from the ground up, East End Main Street director Ric Cavender was on site earlier this week, checking on some last-minute details."I'm putting in the rest of the gravel and getting the signage up," Cavender said. "We'll have a monument sign at the corner and two hanging signs on both sides of the stage."The city just came. They donated two benches -- really nice benches. They're on the Washington Street side of the property. And we're cleaning up, getting all the dirt hauled away."Planning for the market dates back to at least spring 2011, and the project has gone through a few changes since then. The size was cut in half from original estimates of up to two dozen booths, with two anchor booths now, not three.It will be open just Saturdays this year; Sundays are out for now."We're going to build our base, build vendor confidence," Cavender said. "So we're just going with Saturdays."Ned Savage, an Americorps VISTA volunteer working this year with East End Main Street, coordinated the construction team as the market's manager."We might extend to Sundays next year, depending on interest," he said. "We just decided to build momentum and excitement." Savage also has led the recruitment of vendors and musicians, who will perform each week on the market's stage. For opening day, he's got an all-star lineup.The two double-sized anchor booths -- one at each end of the L-shaped structure -- have been rented by Frutcake, the East End bakery, and Fish Hawk Acres, a farm from Rock Cave in Upshur County.Frutcake plans to set up tables and chairs, Savage said, while Fish Hawk will try to drum up interest in its community supported agriculture (CSA) and community supported kitchen programs. In the CSA, customers order produce in advance and pick it up at the market on Saturdays.Artisans in the other eight booths include some familiar names, Savage said: painters Charly Hamilton and Ian Bode; Mark Wolfe, photos; and Capitol Clay Arts Co. Others are: Kelly Bryant, pastels; Sherry Walker, the Eco-Beader, who makes jewelry from recycled items; Wendy Clark of Wenweave, textiles; Sherri Rhodes of Appalachian Art Gallery, stained glass and photos; and Miranda Walker of Kountry Crow, candles and soaps.Still more vendors have been accepted for later dates. In fact, the idea is to rotate folks in and out, so there'll be something new to see each week."If folks come back next Saturday, they'll find a completely different group, for the most part," Savage said. Market hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays through the end of October. The market is expected to reopen in April.A brief ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned at 11 a.m. Saturday, with music by Comparsa to follow at 11:15.See more at the bazaar's Facebook page.Reach Jim Balow at email@example.com or 304-348-5102.
