Turron Davenport of Press Coverage Sports is back again with his take on Dashon Goldson and the 49ers re-signing him.[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he 49ers have hinted at not designating Dashon Goldson as their franchise player this off season. Goldson did receive the tag last year and if he were to get tagged this year his cap number would be in the neighborhood of $7.54 million. This does not necessarily mean that they do not want to bring Dashon back. It surely is not a good sign though. Letting Goldson go would be a very confusing decision.
Dashon Goldson is the leader of the 49ers' secondary. He makes the calls on the field. He is the one that the defensive backs gather around during pregame talks. Before they head out onto the field Dashon Goldson is the one that speaks. The physical mindset of the 49ers defense extends to the secondary thanks to the way Goldson and Donte Whitner play. They are known as the Lumber Company. However, Whitner's contract is up after next season.
The lack of depth especially after the 2014 season makes the possible decision to let Goldson walk so confusing. If Goldson leaves the 49ers will have a large hole in their secondary. CJ Spillman is a good player in spot duty and on special teams but he surely is not capable of replacing a first team All Pro player like Goldson. This year's safety draft class is deep: http://getrealfootball.com/2013/02/23/nfl-combine-safeties/. The problem is does a Super Bowl caliber team want to start a rookie at Safety?
The 49ers would be wise to draft a Safety like DJ Swearinger that can play in some passing situations and will play special teams. Swearinger can cover Tight Ends and has also played some Cornerback at South Carolina. He could take over for Whitner in 2014. Whitner will count $3.85 million against the cap in 2013 and is an unrestricted free agent in 2014. The 49ers can sign Dashon and draft a Safety that will challenge Whitner this season then take over in 2014. This will sure up their situation at Safety.
Reports have it that Goldson wants Eric Weddle type money. I don't know what the contract details are that Goldson and his agent are seeking. Weddle is a very good safety but Goldson presents a strong case for top NFL Safety as well. Goldson should definitely get a deal in the range of Eric Weddle's.
Statistically, they match up:
Weddle: 97 TKL 2 FF 3 INTs 9 Pass Defensed
Goldson: 69 TKL 1 FF 3 INTs 11 Pass Defensed
Weddle does have more tackles, but you have to remember, the 49ers' front seven is by far better than the Chargers. Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman typically account for most of the tackles. Of course Goldson's total will be lower.
Head Coach Jim Harbaugh has said that he feels that it should be a top priority to bring Goldson back. The 49ers typically set their value for a player shortly after the season and typically don't budge from that stance. What they will set for Goldson remains to be seen. "We've always maintained that we want to keep as many of our core guys together as we can," 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said from the college scouting combine in Indy. "So it's definitely a priority. Are we going to be able to do it? We don't know that. We're going to work awfully hard to make that happen." Baalke has said that he will not overpay for any player.
A deal in the neighborhood of 5 years $35 million with a $15 million signing bonus is a fair contract for a 28 year old player coming off a 1st team All Pro season. Weddle's contract was 5 years $40 million with a $13 million signing bonus. Eric Berry was given a contract that was 6 years $60 million with $34 million guaranteed. Think about that. It is truly safe to say that Eric Berry is not the same caliber of player that Goldson is. Berry has had a total of five interceptions over the past two years. Dashon Goldson has had almost two times that total with nine.
Other players on the Niners have gotten rewarded. It is now time for "The Hawk" to get his payday. He is a fan favorite and takes the time to acknowledge that. Each year Goldson's foundation The Highest Point does a free football camp in his home town.
n 2011 he came back to the 49ers after being in contact with the Patriots and Bengals. In 2012 he was granted the franchise tag and didn't make a fuss about it. He simply came into camp and continued to be the best player in the 49ers' secondary. He was the leader of a unit that ranked 4th in the NFL against the pass. It would be foolish to allow a key player on a unit that was 2nd in the NFL in points allowed. Dashon Goldson has been through it all with the Niners. Baalke and Harbaugh know what they need to do…PAY THE MAN!

CBS News - Controversial Update to Psychiatry Manual, DSM-5, Arrives
New York, NY– May 18, 2013 ––
The controversial revision to psychiatrists' "bible" of diagnostic criteria has finally arrived. The American Psychiatric Association released its fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or dubbed simply as the "DSM-5." "I'm very curious to see what happens because as you know there's kind of this tension between the DSM and some of the new NIMH initiatives," Dr. James Murrough, an assistant professor of psychiatry and neuroscience at The Mount Sinai Hospital, told CBSNews.com Murrough was not involved in the new DSM, but will be presenting research at the APA meeting this weekend.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - Reductions in the number of Air Force bases have not kept pace with drops in personnel since the end of the Cold War so more bases need to be closed, says the acting secretary of the Air Force.
But F. Whitten Peters said Friday he could not say whether any of New Mexico's three bases would be in jeopardy if Congress gives its approval for additional closures.
"You can't prejudge New Mexico any more than you can prejudge anybody else," he said during a news conference at Kirtland Air Force Base.
He was at Kirtland prior to heading to Cannon Air Force Base at Clovis and after visiting Holloman Air Force Base at Alamogordo.
Peters said the Air Force agrees with the Pentagon that Congress should authorize two more rounds of base closures, one in 2001 and another in either 2003 or 2005.
More base closures are needed to save money and streamline Air Force operations so that limited budgets can be focused on maintaining peak readiness of fighting units, he said.
While personnel levels have dropped 40 percent since the end of the Cold War, the number of bases has dropped only 20 percent, Peters said.
He said that creates a burden for the service to keep extra bases open and running.
"It takes a minimum of 1,000 people just to turn on the lights in the morning at these bases," he said.
Two bills now pending before Congress would create an independent commission to oversee the process of any closures. Peters promised "an absolutely fair process" if the Defense Department is asked to create a list come up with a list of proposed closures.

Though she's never managed to become the gigantic star that the Veronica Mars devoted thought she should be, Kristen Bell has done really well for herself lately showing off her comedic chops, primarily in Forgetting Sarah Marshall but hey, When in Rome made $32 million, and we won't take that away from her.
In Whales Bell won't be doing starring duty, but she has signed on to play a looks-obsesssed Los Angeles TV reporter, according to THR. The film, set in Alaska in 1988, tells the true story of three gray whales trapped under ice, and the people-- including a local reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace activist (Drew Barrymore)-- who work to free them. From the sound of it Bell will be the kind of media opportunist who only gets in the way, and given how good she is at playing the conceited pretty girl, I'm just fine with that. Whales is directed by Ken Kwapis and will presumably start filming fairly soon.

Bad copy od Earn to Die
the car's fuel meter went past empty and it still could drive. and the gaming is too repetitive.
This could have been a much better game, but you've overlooked quite a few basics.
The first one is not putting instructions in-game telling you which keys to use. It's simple, and wouldn't make players frustrated with your game before they even start to play it.
All the other in game foibles aside (no variety in zombie sprites being a good example) the second and most important thing you've overlooked is to make it challenging. There's no penalty for anything in this game: if I crashed the trucks (which was pretty hard to do) I just had to click on "upgrade" and I was back to buying more stuff and setting off again: no days past, nothing changed. You could have fixed this by including a day counter and a damage meter for the truck, which would increase replay value too (beating days taken, etc).
Talking of upgrading: only the engine and fuel upgrades made any measurable difference to how far the player goes. The "control" one seemed redundant: they're trucks, not motorbikes, and the "wheel" upgrade was purely aesthetic: it didn't effect how you rolled over the zombies.
Your graphics were ok, but I hope you're an amateur: the blood spatters were really badly animated. The quantity of blood and the gore were fine, just make it a bit slicker if you want to compete with the bigger games (and yes, I am going to mention Earn to Die).
Finally, and this is only a little thing, but if you're going to be specific and say it's 54 miles, make it 54 miles. Changing the distance counter to fractions of a mile might be an idea, or tweak it to the correct number of metres: 54 miles is just under 87km.
Not quite the best of the genre... I had some fun playing it to the end, but it feels as if minimal effort went into it in most areas.
* The game has only hills and [one kind of] zombies, no additional challenges the further you go or anything.
* Graphics are OK - given the lack of variety - but on my rather-decent computer all quality levels except for Low lagged and had glitches (blood not covering the bottom of the vehicle, frame around moon).
* No instructions whatsoever - I had to guess the keys (not difficult, but -1 for having no key to pause!) and I still don't know what exactly upgrading Control does or how the amount of money I gather is determined.
* Most such games stop the run if your vehicle turns over, not allow you to make somersaults!...
Rather mediocre, overall.
It's Earn-To-Die Lite. Without resorting to smug jokes, stupid nonsense, or acting like a total jerk I'll just say that instead of making the game better, they just made the same game. Worse graphics, worse upgrade system and worse terrain/map/setting.
Awarded 1 star for the effort it took to blatantly clone 'Earn to Die.'

No more searching through multiple books for inpiration or "that one recipe" or finding a dusty tome and wondering why I bought it in the first place. No more crumpled, stained computer print outs that get thrown away either. Just all of my favs, all in one place. So, here is the question. If you could publish your own collection of recipes, for your own personal use only, which recipes would you include? What are the essentials to have?

Ekotechnika, the largest distributor of foreign farm equipment in Russia, said its sales would continue to expand at "double-digit" rates as it feeds the country's appetite for agricultural development.
Ekotechnika, one of Europe's top three sellers of John Deere equipment, said its sales rose 21% to E169.6m in the year to the end of September, with volumes approaching 2,000 machines.
Operating profits soared 380% to E15.4m, helping support cash flows of E18.3m.
And the German-based group - whose Ekoniva Technika operating business sells in central Russia, the black earth region and Siberia, an area the size of France, Germany and Italy combined – forecast further growth.
"We intend to keep up double-digit growth in the coming years," Wolfgang Blasi, the Ekotechnika managing director, said.
Expansion will be spearheaded by the spread of revenues into servicing and spare parts from the new equipment sales currently responsible for the vast majority of business, with taking soaring 36% to E141m in 2011-12.
Revenues from other sources fell.
"Over the coming years both after-sales segments are to be expanded significantly in line with the growing number of customers," the group said.
Ekotechnika said it has a target of doubling sales of new machines, and trebling revenues from parts and servicing, by 2014.
The group said its growth would be helped by the expansion of agriculture in Russia, which is attempting to become self-sufficient in meat and to raise further its profile as a grains exporter.
"Russia is considered one of the markets offering the greatest potential for international manufacturers, given that the farming sector in the world's largest territorial state is still in need of substantial modernisation," Ekotechnika said.
The company also flagged the extent of the country's farm support spending.
Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's prime minister, earlier this month backed a request by the farm ministry for a further 40bn-42bn roubles ($1.3bn-1.35bn) in state funding for support for farmers, after a second drought in three years last summer dented grain yields and, in lifting feed prices, hurt livestock producers too.
Ekotechnika was launched by Stefan Dürr, also the founder and chief executive of farm operator Ekosem-Agrar, who remains the main shareholders in the equipment group.
Indeed, the companies were only separated in 2011.
John Deere equipment accounts for more than two-thirds of sales at Ekoniva Technika, which also sells machinery under brands such as GEA and Grimme.

League soliciting public's best of high school hoops
In March of 2012, the Minnesota State High School League will be celebrating 100 years of basketball tournaments. The first was held in 1913, an invitational affair hosted by Carleton College in Northfield and won by Fosston 29-27 over Mountain Lake.
The League is soliciting public input in selecting some of the greatest moments in the history of both the boys' and girls' state tournaments. An online poll is available on the League website to collect the "best of" in several different categories. Here is the direct link to the poll -- http://www.mshsl.org/survey.
Six categories have been established for which up to three responses may be given for each gender:
* Greatest State Tournament Games -- Boys and Girls
* Best State Tournament Finishes -- Boys and Girls
* Best State Tournament Shots -- Boys and Girls
* Best State Tournament Teams -- Boys and Girls
* Best State Tournament Players -- Boys and Girls
* Best State Tournament Coaches -- Boys and Girls
The poll will be available for public input until July 31. Results will be compiled, reviewed by League staff and a panel of basketball aficionados, but not released until the 2012 state tournaments. A variety of events are under consideration to commemorate the 100th year of state basketball tournaments.
League staff is also soliciting memorabilia that could be displayed during the tournaments, such as programs, trophies, uniforms, balls, newspaper clippings, audio recordings, films or videotapes. If you have something of interest you are willing to have displayed at the tournaments, contact the League office, 763-560-2262.

Excited for this 3DS direct in a few days. Hopefully more info for games like Mario & Luigi: Dream Team & Mario Golf: World Tour will be revealed during it (not sure if I'm getting the latter, but I have plenty of time to make a decision)! Would have preferred a Wii U Direct (or a general Nintendo Direct covering both systems), but this is still good!
In addition to the 2 Mario games I mentioned, some news on Mario & Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move would be nice. That eShop title looks interesting,

I don't expect it to be anything major. I'm guessing just release dates on announced games and maybe some gameplay footage. I doubt they'd show brand new games before doing a Japanese Nintendo Direct or at the very least a simultaneous broadcast.
I really hope they announce the Animal Crossing XL Bundle on this Direct. I want it so bad.

Kenny Dalglish will walk on at Anfield with renewed hope
Kenny Dalglish never promised miracles on his return to Anfield — indeed he said Liverpool would have to walk before they could run.
The Kop may have hoped otherwise, that the reappointment of their greatest hero as manager would spark an instant upturn in fortunes after two years of regression.
His first week back in the job he left 20 years ago proved that would not be the case, an admittedly creditable loss at Manchester United followed by a humbling defeat at Blackpool.
Yet one thing Dalglish certainly knows all about is the passion and fire of the Merseyside derby.
He guided the Reds to two glorious Wembley final wins over Everton in the 1980s and quit his post first time around after a compelling 4-4 draw with the side from across Stanley Park.
Few could doubt he infused his side with plenty of drive and desire for the 215th edition of that local skirmish yesterday afternoon.
The occasion was always likely to be an emotive one but after giving Dalglish a rousing reception prior to kick-off, the home fans did not quite know how to approach the game.
Too many poor results and sub-standard performances under Rafael Benitez and Roy Hodgson had seen to that.
After the Bloomfield Road disappointment in midweek it was pointed out that after a change of owners and manager, what needed to be changed at Liverpool now was players.
No longer was it being said that they were under-performing, but simply that they were not good enough for Liverpool Football Club.
But yesterday the players met the fans halfway. The final result they wanted was not there but to produce the famous Anfield atmosphere of old the players had to give the crowd something to respond to.
That was their intention. Everton were not fazed, but Liverpool were not shirking tackles and Fernando Torres looked more like his old self.
Even without the inspirational presence of Steven Gerrard, the hosts attacked at every opportunity.
Confidence soared after Raul Meireles powered Liverpool into the lead after 29 minutes with a ferocious drive.
Liverpool could easily have added two or three more goals, such was their dominance.
The interval came at a bad time, however, and a lot of their good work was undone as first Sylvain Distin equalised and then Jermaine Beckford put the Toffees ahead.
Dalglish can take huge encouragement from the way they fought back with a spirit that was absent in Blackpool.
The Kop saw in Dirk Kuyt's celebration everything they needed to see in terms of desire. That was also apparent in the performances of Academy graduates Jay Spearing and Martin Kelly. Question marks will remain over whether the current Liverpool players have the ability to haul the club back to where they believe they should be.
Yet if Dalglish can continue to coax more displays of such quality from Torres, belief will not be extinguished.
Torres' loss of form over the past 12 months has been a major concern and his body language has, at times, left much to be desired. There was nothing wrong with that, yesterday, however.
The Spaniard did not score but he hit the woodwork and was a constant, pacey threat throughout. Liverpool and Dalglish appear to have enough to paper over the cracks for the time being. That may do for now — and it could buy the club the time they need to begin the major reconstruction they need in the summer.

Beltran to Rollins: 'We're team to beat'
Beltran to Rollins: 'We're team to beat'
"To Jimmy Rollins: We are the team to beat."
It was unprompted, unscripted and completely unexpected. But with those nine words, Beltran instantly renewed his team's rivalry with the Phillies and assumed a new level of leadership with the Mets. The usually quiet and reserved center fielder, perhaps emboldened by his team's offseason acquisition of Johan Santana, stepped out of character -- and there's no reversing that now.
"Let me tell you this," Beltran said. "Without Santana, we felt, as a team, that we had a chance to win in our division. With him now, I have no doubt that we're going to win in our division. I have no doubt in that. We've got what it takes."
The statement was as much a product of his own confidence as it was a response to Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, who last winter proclaimed that his team was the one to beat -- and then backed it up on the field.
Perhaps the greatest surprise was that Beltran, and not some other Met, made the statement. Normally quiet and unassuming off the field, Beltran has managed to mostly avoid the spotlight during his first three years in New York.
Now, that won't be so easy.
"It takes a special person to be able to do that," closer Billy Wagner said. "Now you have to lead. You have to stand there and take the punches in the bad games, and you have to be there to answer the questions and deal with it."
Beltran knows it, too. Minutes after making his comments -- in response to a question regarding his thoughts on Santana -- he acknowledged that he's now bound to become a popular enemy in Philadelphia.
"I don't care," Beltran said. "They boo me in Houston. One more city won't make a difference."
Rollins became a target in New York last season even before the Phillies and Mets first met -- and even before he made a critical fielding error during the home opener at Shea, which sent Mets fans into something of a frenzy. Then he spent the rest of the summer silencing those same fans, winning the National League Most Valuable Player Award while leading his Phillies to the NL East title.
MLB.com coverage | Schedule | Ballpark | Tickets
Yet Rollins, unlike Beltran, was already a vocal leader of his team. The Mets went largely without a similar voice last season -- perhaps until now. And while Beltran's teammates may agree with his prediction, they're not about to state it so boldly.
"There's no use in us showing up if we don't believe that we are that type of team," Wagner said. "For me, I don't think I would ever go out and say it just because I believe in going out there on the field and doing it, but hey, you know what? He's my teammate. I got his back."
"We have inner confidence," third baseman David Wright said. "You're not going to find anyone in here who doesn't think we're going to win the National League East. But different guys have different motivations or ways to pump up their team."
Still, Wright disagreed in principle, saying that because they won last year, the Phillies remain the team to beat. Maybe the Mets have improved on paper, but they haven't yet proved it on the field. Not until September can they truly prove their point.
"I've said all along, I have the utmost confidence in this team to win," Wright said. "But just personally, I don't feel the need to declare anything. Talk is cheap when you're talking about February."
Manager Willie Randolph simply laughed at the comments, attributing them to Beltran's first child, four-month-old Ivana.
"I guess when you have a little baby girl," Randolph said, "it gives you confidence."
Now Beltran must be confident, whether he wants to or not. He directed his boldness at a player who's already plenty bold himself, and in doing so stamped a sizeable target on his back.
There's a chance he'll again fade into the background, just as there's a chance this new outspoken Beltran is here to stay. Either way, on Saturday, he ramped one of the NL's most impassioned rivalries to a new level of contention.

Teens say they were raped by four boys in Murrells Inlet
Wed, 15 Aug 2012 16:27:15 GMT —
Horry County police arrested four young men for allegedly forcing two teenage girls to have sex on August 1.
The victims told police Tyler Creech, 19, Tyler Ellis, 18, Chris Ellis, 17, and Zachary Stoltzfus, 18, took turns raping them and forcing them to perform oral sex. Police have charged all four with Forcible Rape.
According to one of the victims, she was celebrating her 16th birthday with some of her friends and found a party that was hosted by the four suspects in the Meadowoods subdivision of Murrells Inlet around 1:30 a.m.
At the party, she and the other victim were drinking alcohol with the suspects, according to the report.
The victim told police all involved were intoxicated and ended up in the bedroom.
The report says the suspects had sex with the girls and made the victims perform oral sex. The victim told police the suspects kept rotating with the girls.
The victim said this went on for hours.
The victim told the suspects "it started to hurt and she kept telling them to stop but they didn't."
The other victim, 16, told police the boys took off her clothes, and she told the boys "this hurts, this hurts, and I don't want to."
But the suspects did not stop and were making jokes saying, "These girls are going to be pregnant before the morning," according to the report.
The victims and the suspects fell asleep on the couch around 6 a.m., the report says. It goes on to say aro
und 9 a.m., a friend picked up the girls and took home the Ellis' too.

I don't think so. If it won't start then your options are to run Paragon Adaptive Restore CD on the Win7 partition if you can find it, or take an image of the current HD and restore it using Acronis True Image with Universal Restore. Both of these do the same thing as SysPrep, but they are paid software unless you can find the PAR CD trial release which is hard to find now.

Even the word itself sounds like a disaster coming. Tsunamis, also known as tidal waves, are generated by any of a number of events that push a large amount of water out of the way. Although the most common cause of these massive waves are earthquakes, they can also be caused by erupting volcanoes, falling glaciers, or nuclear tests. Nor do they strike fear into the hearts of people worldwide for no reason - the 2004 Indonesian tsunami claimed a total of 230,000 casualties and ranks 6th highest on the list of all time recorded natural disasters. Learning and understanding about tidal waves can help people everywhere to know better how to prepare and, most importantly, to recognize when one is coming.
Tsunami Facts: Did you know that...
- In spite of the cheesy movies that depict giant waves breaking over houses and buildings, the truth is that they rarely look like normal waves with a giant breaker shape. Instead, it may appear as a continually rising tide, with groups of waves arriving together over several hours.
- The 2006 movie Poseidon, based on the story of an ocean liner struck by a monster wave, is essentially impossible, because even the largest tidal waves are nearly undetectable on the open ocean.
- When traveling in open water, tsunamis can reach speeds of up to 500 miles an hour, and with wavelengths that are sometimes as long as 120 miles apart, they can strike thousands of miles away with just as much force as they started out with all the way across the ocean.
The Problem With Tsunami Warnings
Predicting tidal waves has become far more of a public focus in recent years, as the Indonesian and Japanese disasters brought home the potential deadliness of these giant waves. However, determining which of the millions of waves that cross the ocean each day is a potential killer is a much more difficult job than it seems. Physics, specifically wave dynamics, means that over deep water a giant wave will not be more than 3 feet high. Only as it approaches coastal waters, and a process known as "wave shoaling" takes place, does its speed decrease and the wave height increase. This difficulty in detecting tsunamis before they approaches land makes for a frustrating experience for scientists, who can only predict the likelihood of a tidal wave for any given coastal area based on the type of earthquake triggering the wave.
The World's Largest Tsunami
Determining which of the tidal waves in history has been the largest is a tricky proposition. After all, there is historical evidence of tidal waves as far back as 6,000 B.C., and everywhere from the Norwegian Sea to the tidal wave capital of the world: Japan. Not only that, but the question of the largest tsunami also must be considered from what angle: Most casualties? Highest wave crest? The 2004 Indonesian tsunami was the deadliest on record, but the question of the biggest has a far more interesting answer. A landslide in Lituya Bay, Alaska, on July 9, 1958 resulted in a tidal wave that was 1,720 feet high at its peak. We know this because the wave wiped everything below that altitude completely clean - no trees, bushes, or life of any kind at all.
The Danger Of False Tsunami Warnings
As anyone who's heard the story of the boy who cried wolf knows, there is a danger in predicting disaster without results too many times: people stop listening to you. As scientists work to improve prediction methods for massive killer waves and warning systems for coastal areas, there is a certain amount of complacency that sets in when repeated warnings fail to come to pass. The most important step you can take in preparing for a potential monster wave is to decide on a high elevation place to take shelter during a warning. Having a basic emergency preparation kit with water, food, and basic medical supplies to take with you is an additional step that could mean saving the lives of yourself and the people you love.
Signs Of A Tsunami
Although not every tidal wave will have what's called "drawback," or a period of extremely low ocean levels before the crest hits land, many times they do. If you happen to live or be near the ocean and notice that the water is drawing far out to sea and exposing an unusual amount of things on the seabed, take immediate shelter on higher ground. It may very well be the precursor to a tidal wave. The story is told of a young lady who had been learning tsunami facts in her school just before visiting Thailand in 2004. When the ocean began to draw far out to sea, she recognized the signs of what she had been taught, and began warning people. As a result of the little girl's ocean wisdom, many lives were saved.

USD/CAD(a 4-hour chart)
General overview
The greenback kept the upbeat tone unchanged vs. its Canadian peer on Tuesday. The dollar was supported by the US GDP. Moreover, all commodity currencies were under pressure due to oil prices decline.
Current situation
The bullish sentiment in USD remained intact yesterday. The price still trades in the near term upward channel. The USD/CAD bounced off the lower boundary of the channel around 1.3400 and advanced towards 1.3470 during the European hours. The pair struggled hard with the level to extend its gains ahead of the
MACD grew which indicates the sellers' positions weakening. RSI bounced off the oversold readings.
Trading recommendations
Bulls kept focusing at the 1.3470 barrier on Tuesday. A daily close above the level may risk 1.3540. Alternatively, a failed test of the level shall send this market back to the 1.3400 handle.

Lord Stevens told the Leveson inquiry that he quit the column, for which he was paid £7,000 per article, in October 2007 – nine months after the convictions of Glenn Mulcaire and Clive Goodman.
But he refused to divulge exactly the allegations he heard.
He said: "When the convictions were taking place, certain other information was coming to my ears which just [meant] I did not want to do it. In hindsight I would have never written the articles if I'd known what I know now."
Pressed on what "other information" he was referring to Lord Stevens replied: "It revolved around some unethical behaviour in relation to one or two articles that had got the headlines in the News of the World."
Despite suggestions that phone hacking at the paper went wider than one "rogue reporter" the Metropolitan Police refused to re-open the investigation until last year, twice declining to re-investigate after articles in the Guardian in 2009 and the New York Times in 2010.
Lord Stevens, who ran the Metropolitan Police between 2000 and 2005, also appeared to criticise the failure of Sir Paul Stephenson and John Yates to re-open the inquiry.
He said: "I have been disappointed by what has taken place. I would like to have thought that the issues that the Guardian had raised I would have picked up as commissioner. If they had been picked up I think I would have been quite ruthless about pursuing it."
Lord Stevens said he had attempted to make relations between Scotland Yard and the press more open upon being appointed commissioner.
He told the inquiry, however, that he fears that relations between officers and journalists have recently deteriorated, with police "terrified" to speak to reporters.
He said: "What I have heard is people are absolutely terrified of picking up a phone or speaking to the press in any way, shape or form and I do not think that is healthy.
"The press have a job to do they have delivered, particularly investigative journalism, some outstanding work and there has to be a relationship between the police and the press for the right reasons."
Lord Condon, who ran the force from 1993 to 2000, agreed.
He said: "I would be worried about anything which suggested that any contact between the police and the media was almost inherently wrong, that the media are given some sort of pariah status and almost being in the same room as them is bad."
But Lord Condon said that relationships between police and the media should be professional.
He said: "I think that while you are commissioner you have certain professional relationships and you make life more difficult for yourself if those relationships carry into friendships and a social life that goes with frindships."
The inquiry has already heard that John Yates enjoyed a friendship with Niel Wallis, the deputy editor of the News of the World and that the pair enjoyed drinks and dinners together.
Lord Condon added: "In my view hospitality can be the start of a grooming process which can lead to inappropriate and unethical behaviour."

The fallback is very simple: on versions of GHC older than 6.12, you get UTF-8 codecs and your platform's native newline conversion, and that's it :-) There really isn't anything to abstract. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since this is such a diverse group, I figured I'd throw this question out there. I just got a call out of the blue from someone who would like to purchase a domain I own (gittyup.com) When I got it a few years ago to use as a blog site for a road trip, I was pretty surprised that it was available actually. In the back of my mind I thought that someday someone would want it. That day is here apparently! It gets a lot of random "type in" traffic and has great placement on Google... especially image search. Anyhow, this person offered $1,000. I bocked and said I'd have to get back to him. Thoughts on whether I should hang on to it and wait for a better offer somewhere down the line (heck, it's a pretty well known catch phrase thanks to Kramer of Seinfeld... some big tv network might want it someday , or would I be crazy to pass this up? I could put it toward that Yeti 575 I've been oogling after for the past year! <<< bike content.
I've already Google searched for domain valuation, but most are paid services in the realm of $20. I may end up doing that route anyway, but thought I could get some good feedback here. Interested to hear your thoughts....

CALGARY - Re-signing with the Calgary Stampeders was a snap for Randy Chevrier.
The veteran long-snapper re-upped with the Stamps Thursday and will enter his 10th season in Red & White.
Stamps GM/head coach John Hufnagel said while long-snappers don't get much of the spotlight, when you have a good one, it makes the special teams run much smoother.
"Randy has always been a reliable performer at one of the more underrated roles on a football team," Hufnagel said. "In addition to his important work on special teams, his work ethic and experience makes him one of our leaders in the locker room."
Chevrier's work ethic is the biggest reason why he's still earning a CFL paycheque at 37 years of age.
The 6-foot-2, 246-pounder worked out hard last off-season and reported to camp in the best shape he'd been in years.
Often, he would be the last man off the practice field, staying late to push tractor tires up and down the sideline.
