Market Snapshot: U.S. Stocks Lower on Lingering Worries over Eurozone Debt Crisis
The U.S. stocks rally ran out of steam late in session reversing the trend with the three major indices closing lower for the day. The late session sell-off was triggered by the sliding euro and the Chinese Investment Corp.'s statement indicating its intentions to reduce its asset allocation in European government bonds. The Dow closed below 10,000 for the first time since February 6.
All sectors in the S&P 500 but one finished the day in the red. Only Industrials managed to post a modest gain of 0.26%.
In early trading, U.S. equities moved higher supported by the upbeat U.S. data on new home sales, which had its largest rise in almost 2 years and better-than-expected durable goods orders. The Early trading session followed yesterday's risky assets sell-off in global markets on European credit crisis fears and escalating tension on the Korean peninsula.
Such daily swings in the equity market have become more frequent and are likely to persist for some time reflecting the extremely volatile environment and ongoing uncertainty surrounding euro-area debt crisis and financial regulation.
The VIX index, the so called investors' fear gauge, rose slightly from 34.61 to 35.02 in late session after falling to 32 in early trading.
In Europe worries have slightly receded over the sovereign debt crisis spreading into the banking sector helping lift the major European bourses. The European major bourses finished higher: the Italian FTSEMIB gained 2.15%, the Spanish IBEX 35 was up 0.42%, the French CAC 40 rose 2.32%, the London FTSE 100 was up 1.97% and German DAX was up 1.55%.
On the economic calendar, the U.S. Census Bureau reported new single-family home sales jumped up by 14.8% m/m in April 2010 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 504,000, after a 29.9% jump in March and a 3.2% m/m decline in February reflecting an expected boost to sales prior to the expiration of the first time home buyers' tax credit on April 30, 2010. Sales of new homes in April were up 47.8% y/y, but they remain down 63.7% from the peak level of July 2005. The three-month moving average of new home sales showed a second gain after declining for six consecutive months.
The U.S. Census Bureau reported that orders for durable goods rose 2.9% in April 2010 to US$193.9 billion (up 12.3% y/y), after a downward revised flat reading in February. The increase in the headline figure in the April report was driven entirely by a US$7.3 billion increase in orders for commercial aircraft, which caused transportation orders to jump by 16.1%. Ex-transport orders fell back by 1% in April 2010, after a strong 4.8% pickup in March.
Into close, the S& P 500 index fell 6.08 points, or 0.57%% to close a t 1,067.95.
The Dow lost 69.30 points, or 0.69% to close at 9,974.45.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index was down 15.07 points, or 0.68% to close at 2,195.88.
Treasurys prices fell with the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note up yielding 3.19% , up from 3.16% from late on Tuesday.
Crude for July delivery settled $2.76 higher, or 4% up, at $71.51 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as investors grew more confident about global recovery.
In currency markets today the euro continued sliding against the yen and the dollar.
In currency, EUR/USD traded at 1.2172, down from 1.2344 late on Tuesday in New York, Cable was quoted at 1.4383, down from1.4406. USD/JPY traded at 89.97, down from 90.21. USD/CHF was at 1.1607, up from 1.1565, while USD/CAD was quoted at 1.0706, up from 1.0670.

Financial Oversight Lessons
Related Opportunity
Knight Foundation VP/CFO Juan Martinez lead a 39-minute webinar on implementing the GEM toolkit for foundations. Watch the archived replay now on Webex.com.
You can download a key tool mentioned in 'Financial Oversight': The GEM Risk Factor Scoring Sheet.xlsx (Excel file).
As a private foundation that achieves its mission using tax-exempt funds, the Knight Foundation must ensure that grantees appropriately spend funds to produce public benefit. This financial oversight responsibility led Knight to develop and launch the Grant Expenditure Monitoring (GEM) program in 2006 in partnership with accounting firm KPMG.
The GEM program plays a crucial role in maintaining compliance and accountability by supporting a series of financial reviews with Knight grantees. While the overwhelming majority of financial reviews conducted with grantees have indicated that projects were proceeding as planned and found no financial irregularities, a handful of reviews have turned up significant financial issues that prompted us to take corrective actions. Though the GEM was originally conceived as purely a financial review, the process has also provided opportunities for Knight staff and grantees to collaborate more closely. The program has been a key resource for program staff by bringing KPMG's high level of business expertise to the complex operational issues that grantees face. Meanwhile, reviews have helped grantees identify ways to strengthen their capacities and operations. To examine the impact of the GEM and improve its ongoing effectiveness, we commissioned a pair of assessments in 2011 which analyzed the design of the program from an accounting perspective and gathered feedback from grantees and staff. The assessments affirmed the value of the GEM program but also led us to make some key adjustments to the program.
This report outlines the lessons we have learned about financial oversight from managing the GEM program, and it provides guidance and helpful tools to support others interested in the program. The report contains our latest thinking, and discusses some of the ongoing adjustments we are making to the program based on key findings. We hope that other funders—especially trustees and staff in finance and governance positions—will find this guide useful as they monitor and advance the work of their own grant partners.

If pension boards are fiduciaries, then the buck stops with them
February 6th, 2013 at 11:36 am by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes, On the Main SiteOne of the big questions that Tim White and I had while reporting out our Scituate pension investigation was who exactly has fiduciary responsibility for the police pension plan there. The answer, as we suspected, was the Scituate Police Pension Board, which met only once from mid-1999 to mid-2011.
Why does that matter? Because, legally, the pension buck stops with the entity that has fiduciary responsibility for the plan. Credit Treasurer Raimondo with driving this point home in recent years: pension boards, whether at the state or local level, are obligated to make prudent decisions based solely on the best interests of the pension system's members, even if doing so causes larger budget challenges.
The former chairman of Scituate's pension board, Ted Pryzbyla, tried to deflect the question of whether the board should have been meeting regularly by saying the town council was in charge of the pension plan. But while the council undoubtedly bears significant responsibility for the situation in Scituate, it's the pension board that had responsibility to look out for the plan's financial health no matter the consequences.
The Financial Times' John Kay, writing about the banking sector, made this point a few days ago:
Fiduciary standards describe how people should behave when they manage the affairs of others. The key elements of the concept are loyalty – put your responsibilities to others ahead of your own interests – and prudence – discharge your responsibilities with care and skill.
Statutes define the fiduciary duties of company directors. The common law imposes demanding fiduciary obligations on other agents, such as the trustees of pension funds. In 1984, a landmark legal ruling on this matter was made in the UK. A case had been brought by Arthur Scargill, the leader of Britain's main mining union. He sought the end of coal board investments in overseas businesses. The judge rejected Mr Scargill's claim, on the basis that it is the duty of trustees to increase the fund's value for its beneficiaries, regardless of their moral or political views.
If you live in one of the 24 cities and towns with a locally run pension plan, it's worth asking who has fiduciary responsibility for your local pensions and checking whether that entity is carrying out its duties properly.

Physicians should not immediately order routine radiography, MRI or CT scans for low-back pain unless they observe features of a serious underlying condition, according to a report.
"Our study shows that performing routine X-rays or MRIs for patients with low-back pain does not lead to improved pain, function or anxiety level, and there were even some trends toward worse outcomes," said Roger Chou, lead author of the report and scientific director of the Oregon Evidence-Based Practice Center at Oregon Health & Science University.
"Clinicians may think they are helping patients by doing routine X-rays or MRIs, but these diagnostic tests increase medical costs, can result in unnecessary surgeries or other invasive procedures, and may cause patients to stop being active -- probably the best thing for back health -- because they are worried about common findings such as degenerated discs or arthritis, not understanding that these are very weakly associated with back pain," he added.
The analysis found no significant differences between immediate imaging and usual clinical care. The researchers said that the results are most applicable to acute or sub-acute low-back pain of the type assessed in a primary care setting with the patient's family doctor.
"Rates of utilization of lumbar MRI are increasing, and implementation of diagnostic-imaging guidelines for low-back pain remains a challenge," Chou said. "However, clinicians are more likely to adhere to guideline recommendations about lumbar imaging now that these are supported by consistent evidence from higher quality randomized controlled trials."
The researchers also said that patient expectations and preferences about imaging should also be addressed. The study found that 80 percent of patients with low-back pain in one trial said they would undergo radiography if given the choice despite the fact that researchers found no benefits with routine imaging. The study urged the use of educational interventions for reducing the proportion of patients with low-back pain who believe that routine imaging should be conducted.

Insurance Information
Our providers are a provider for Medicare and most major insurance plans. We provide insurance billing. Anything not covered by insurance will be your responsibility.
We request payment at the time of your appointment for services that are not covered by insurance. Your insurance company may also require you to pay a co-payment; (copay), at the time of your appointment. When necessary, our staff will work closely with patients who require a payment plan.
If you have any questions regarding which insurance plans we accept or any patient billing concerns, please call us at 253-284-4488. Questions regarding your coverage and benefits should be directed to your employer or insurance company.
Phone calls
Due to the high volume of phone calls, return calls from our providers cannot always be made on the same day. Our providers seldom have time between patients to return calls. Calls that need a reply on the same day will either be returned by Sharon Jung, ARNP, within the next day or by Deanna.
If there is a question that can't be answered quickly, it is best to ask for a short appointment to discuss the problem. Our neurological nurse practitioner, Sharon, can usually see you promptly to give you the care that you need.
Medication Refills
If you need a prescription refill, it must be called into the pharmacy at least 24 to 48 hours prior to when you need to pick it up. Call the pharmacy directly to see if your prescription has been called in. Please do not call the office.
Legal and Insurance Forms
Our providers will complete all forms that need to be filled out. In most cases, you will be charged a fee. When you drop the form off, please check with billing to find out how much we charge.
Rescheduling and Cancellation of Appointments
Due to high demand for an appointment with our providers, we require that you give us 24 hour notice if you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment. If you miss an appointment without calling to cancel, we will bill you a fee of $25 for the appointment time. Some situations will be excused.
Test Results
Test results, including lab work, MRI results, EEG results, and other testing will be discussed at your follow-up appointment unless our providers need for you to be aware of the results sooner.
Medical Records
We will be happy to forward a copy of your medical records to another physician at no charge.
Insurance Referrals
If you have an insurance that requires a referral, it is your responsibility to make sure you have a valid referral for your appointment with our providers. If our providers order tests that require referrals, the receptionist will call to initiate the referral process, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the patient to check that a referral has been authorized before any testing is done.

On Friday, July 27, RAGBRAI riders will enjoy a special farewell breakfast in the Czech Village/New Bohemia area in Cedar Rapids prior to their 42 mile ride to Anamosa. Breakfast on the Bridge will celebrate the rich culture of the Czech Village/New Bohemia area and will allow riders to experience the unique atmosphere and enjoy various foods and drinks before departing on the day's ride.
Czech Village/New Bohemia is the first pass-through stop along Friday's RAGBRAI route. It is very special and unique for Cedar Rapids to be an overnight community and also to be considered a pass-through stop. Beginning at 6 a.m. riders will be welcomed to the Bridge of Lions that separates Czech Village and New Bohemia, which is part of the route leading the riders out of Cedar Rapids. The bridge will be lined with food vendors serving traditional Czech and Slovak pastries called kolaches as well as more traditional breakfast foods like breakfast burritos, biscuits and gravy and muffins.
The area's entertainment and cultural experiences will also make the morning special, such as visiting the National Czech and Slovak Museum, touring the historic Czech Slovak Prudential Society (CSPS) hall, viewing bicycle themed art, with local Art Bikes club displays or participating in free yoga classes. There will also be live performances throughout the morning including the Iowa Accordion Club followed by Craig Erickson and Natalie Brown at the Kosek Bandstand and Roving Accordionist Ron Johnson playing throughout the area. The African American Museum, located in the New Bohemia area, will also host a live jazz performance.
Breakfast on the Bridge is a great opportunity for the riders to leave the Czech Village/New Bohemia District with full stomachs and a favorable impression on the Cedar Rapids RAGBRAI 2012 experience. It is also a great chance for local residents to experience what the Czech Village/New Bohemia area has to offer. The Czech Village/New Bohemia area of Cedar Rapids offers a unique, small-town feel with a cultural twist. Making the RAGBRAI riders feel welcome is a priority, and nothing says Iowa hospitality like a warm meal.

Huh, double post?
Huh, double post?

Yes, with Brian Epstein's death in late 1967 after the amazing high of the release of Sgt. Pepper's they went through a difficult emotional swing. Magical Mystery Tour was really just a big party in which they kind of tuned out the pain. Then when they returned to the studio for the first time in earnest, they had to deal with the fact that Brian wasn't there keeping things down to earth.
As a result I think they just kind of laid down whatever songs came out of the entire experience. Likely they should have listened to George Martin and cut back the album to a single disc. However, had they done that we would have missed some amazing stuff.
The White album is like listening to the Beatles in therapy. A ton of creativity with a big helping of pain and misery.
The worst part was that they didn't really deal with the biggest problem created by Epstein's death: The lack of a business manager. As a result they would go through a lot of money trying to sort out what they really owned. And a lot of pain realizing they had signed away the biggest part of their work to the vultures.
Ultimately, this is the beginning of the end of The Beatles.
Ah, the White Album...a great topic of discussion.
The Beatles had done Revolver, experimenting with new styles. They topped it with Sgt. Pepper. You have to consider that album when talking about the White Album. Sgt. Pepper took rock into uncharted waters. It's gothic and lush and unprecedented. Indian music? Psychedelia? Even the cover was unprecedented, filled with information and a riot of color. And the extravagant title: Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
When they'd finished that record and the Magical Mystery Tour TV show, the Beatles went off to India to meditate and to recharge the batteries. They wrote a lot of songs during that trip. Those songs would become the White Album.
When they returned to the studio, they wanted to get back to basics. So the new album was the antithesis to Sgt. Pepper. The cover was...blank. The title was: "The Beatles." And the songs were mostly pared back to guitars and drums.
The music itself is fabulous..."Back in the USSR" is a parody of the Beach Boys. "Dear Prudence" is about Mia Farrow's sister, who wouldn't come out of her room to join in in India. "Bungalow Bill" was about a knuckleheaded rich young American who went to shoot a tiger while they were in India. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" seems to be a lament about the band members growing apart. "Blackbird" is about the U.S. civil rights movement. "Julia" is about John's mother. "Savoy Truffle" is George's cross-album dig at Paul's penchant for lighter material. "Glass Onion" is John's dig at people trying to analyze his music. "Long Long Long" is George's spiritual hymn. "Helter Skelter" is Paul's sonic blast at those that said the Beatles didn't rock like Hendrix. "Everybody's Got Something to Hide 'Cept Me and My Monkey" is John telling people to kiss his ass if they didn't like Yoko.
The songs are dark, funny, intelligent, happy, heartbreaking, eerie, soothing, bouncy, ear-splitting...and brilliant. I often hear new bands these days cite the White Album as their all-time favorite record. A couple of years ago, I read one musician say his one goal was to someday record something as good as "Dear Prudence."
I agree with everything else you said, but Savoy Truffle is actually George poking fun at Eric Clapton and his sweet tooth.
"'Savoy Truffle' on The White Album was written for Eric (Clapton). He's got this real sweet tooth and he'd just had his mouth worked on. His dentist said he was through with candy. So as a tribute I wrote, 'You'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy Truffle.' The truffle was some kind of sweet, just like all the rest-- cream tangerine, ginger sling-- just candy, to tease Eric." - 1977
This is my favorite Beatles album and this one has infected more of my friends over the years than any other.
This is also the album that did have a Beatle quit. Ringo was tired of listening to the other three bicker all the time, Yoko being in the actual studio instead of in the control room like all the other females, being ignored for hours and had to be coerced back into the band.
Still think Yoko disrupted the harmonic flow of the quartet.
Achievements,Accomplishments,Trophies...does it matter? In the end, we are all slaves to our games...and besides,I rather enjoy rattling my chains!
You're correct that it was the initial inspiration for the song. But it's pretty clear from the lyrics that there's a dig at Paul.
"You know that what you eat you are,
But what is sweet now, turns so sour--
We all know Obla-Di-Bla-Da
But can you show me, where you are?.."
It's like Lennon's explanation of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Sure, it was inspired by a drawing of son Julian's. But you're kidding yourself if you think Lennon wasn't smart enough to know what he was doing when writing a psychedelic song with the initials LSD in the title.

Style Stealer: Helena Christiansen's Bright Fall Palette
Look, it's model Helena Christensen tooling around New York, getting checked out by a skeevy hot dog vendor dude! Stars, they're just like us! We're really feeling Helena's fall-forward outfit here, not the least of which because she's openly defied Standard Matchy-Matchy Rules and has put together an outfit that's cute and quirky without being over the top. Her outfit is proof that things don't always, always have to go together perfectly. Keep reading »
Helena Christensen Is Pro-Nudity Past 40
Could middle-aged women become the new ideal of female hotness? It would seem Helena Christensen thinks so, as the 40-year-old supermodel has been making moves to adjust image standards. She appeared nude on the cover of i-D this month (along with Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer), and is also in the buff for a spread (no pun intended) in Elle's January issue. According to the Telegraph, Christensen is, "flabbergasted that people could be offended by pictures of naked women." In the accompanying article, Helena also admits: "I have no problems with showing my body. I love the female shape. It's crazy — you can have movie posters with men with machine guns but oh, God forbid you show nipples."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. While we give kudos to Christensen's embrace of the female form at all ages, we do have to say … do many 40-year-old women look as good as her naked? [Telegraph.co.uk] Keep reading »

Clearly these "aging supermodels" aren't doing anything of the sort. The three were shot by photographer Kayt Jones for this month's i-D magazine.

Nearly 40, Claudia Schiffer is lookin' good on the cover of the April issue of Vogue and we have to admit, it's nice to see a friendly face- not to mention an adult one. In an age where models seem to be getting younger and younger, Schiffer is part of a trend of talented women breaking through the ageist industry and proving they're as sexy and valued as ever! As Schiffer tells Vogue, i"All of my friends are my age and we are all aging at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn't bother me." And we highly doubt any man could complain about this knock out! Seriously, the confidence of these sexy models, who are not teenagers anymore, are beating the odds of a highly critical, looks based business. Thanks to the women in this slideshow, true beauty is something we all can achieve at every age.

What is limited representation? With full-scale legal representation, a client provides their attorney with a retainer and the attorney performs a variety of services to that client from start-to-finish in their case.
When an attorney performs an "unbundled service" or "limited representation" for a client, they are performing a specific task or tasks for that person typically on a flat fee basis. This allows the client to control the cost of the legal services being provided to them and obtain legal services in a situation where they might not otherwise be able to afford an attorney's help. Unbundled services that Durbin Law Offices often provides includes, but is not limited to:
• Representation at hearings
• Paid consultations for legal advice
• Strategic case planning and preparation
• Motion drafting and review
• Attendance at mediation
• Contract drafting and review
• Settlement negotiation
• Legal research and analysis
• Discovery assistance
Schedule a free consultation to see if limited representation is the right option for you or call us at: 603-287-4764 ext. 103.

Police, hospitals and pharmacies have teamed up to fight the increase in prescription drug abuse.
On Saturday, they're sponsoring Operation: Medicine Drop Off, an initiative that offers people an anonymous, safe way to dispose of unneeded prescriptions.
Police departments have partnered with several drop-off locations, including Pike's Pharmacy in Charlotte. Owner Jesse Pike said disposing of drugs the right way is also better for the environment.
"So many people are flushing medications or sending them to landfills, and we're going to be dealing with the consequences for generations to come," Pike said.
But the drop-off also aims at curbing an even deeper problem: Since 1999, about 4,500 North Carolinians have died from prescription drug poisoning. More Americans now die from drug overdoses than car crashes each year. There has also been a spike in teenagers abusing prescription drugs.
"They're getting them from going to doctors, they're getting them by buying from friends on the street, they're getting them from finding a prescription bottle of their mom's or their dad's," said Dr. Charles Bregier, medical director at Presbyterian Urgent Care.
The initiative is held twice a year in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. For a list of locations, click here.

Oracle Tips by Burleson Consulting

Query Equivalence
One of the options available for the Enterprise Edition of Oracle Database 10g is the OLAP Option, a multidimensional calculation engine that allows the DBA to perform OLAP analysis on multidimensional datatypes. By using the OLAP Option, DBAs working on data warehousing projects can choose to store their detail level data in normal Oracle relational tables, and then store aggregated data in OLAP Option "analytic workspaces" for further multidimensional analysis.
With the Oracle9i OLAP Option, you could provide access to these analytic workspaces using SQL statements, by using the new OLAP_TABLE function.
select product, city, sales, from table(OLAP_TABLE('my_first_aw DURATION session', 'SALES_TABLE', '', 'DIMENSION category from product DIMENSION country from geography MEASURE sales FROM sales ));
However, it was not possible to use these analytic workspaces as replacements for materialized views if you wanted to take advantage of query rewrite, as the query rewrite mechanism in Oracle9i would never recognise the OLAP_TABLE function as being one that could provide the aggregated answers to the users' original query. Oracle Database 10g addresses this shortcoming by providing a new feature called "query equivalence."
Query equivalence is declared using the DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE.DECLARE_REWRITE_EQUIVALENCE procedure, and uses the syntax:
DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE.DECLARE_REWRITE_EQUIVALENCE( Declaration_name, Source_statement, Target_statement )
Query equivalence allows the DBA to declare that two SQL statements are functionally equivalent, and that the target statement should be used in preference to the source statement. By using the query equivalence feature, a DBA can produce a custom SQL query, in this instance by using the OLAP_TABLE feature to retrieve summary data from an analytic workspace, and have the query used to satisfy a regular SQL statement that summarises via the usual sum() and group by clauses.
Taking the example previously cited, we might want our analytic workspace to be used to provide a specific summary for an SQL query. In this case, our SQL query might be:
select category, country, sum(sales) from product p, geography g, sales s where s.product_id = p.product_id and s.geography_id = p.geography_id group by p.category, g.country
To declare that our analytic workspace query is functionally equivalent to the previous query, issue the command
DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE.DECLARE_REWRITE_EQUIVALENCE ( 'my_first_equivalence', 'select category, country, sum(sales) from product p, geography g, sales s where s.product_id = p.product_id and s.geography_id = p.geography_id group by p.category, g.country', ' select product, city, sales, from table(OLAP_TABLE('my_first_aw DURATION session', 'SALES_TABLE', '', 'DIMENSION category from product DIMENSION country from geography MEASURE sales FROM sales))');
Query equivalence can be used to substitute any SQL DML statement for another (including use of the new SQL Model clause), and is particularly useful when SQL is generated by an application and cannot be changed, but the DBA knows of a different way to phrase the query, perhaps using new data structures (such as an OLAP Option analytic workspace) that he has created.

To have won a Nobel Prize in medicine, achieved eponymic immortality with a privately owned disease, and to have been the founding Dean of a splendid medical school are but highlights or high points in the remarkable medical career of George Hoyt Whipple. Sometime ago Whipple himself gave us an autobiographic sketch in Perspectives in Biology and Medicine. Now we have a different view of the man and his contributions. A fact we may forget about life is that it never can be arranged as a controlled experiment. A decision is made—a person does something—certain events follow. How much does antecedent cause subsequent? What might have been the result had things turned in another direction? It seems hard to imagine the career of any medical teacher, experimental pathologist, or even dean more productive or more satisfying than has been the three-pinnacled mountain of success which Whipple achieved in his several

ScoutSouth.com: Davidson vs. McGill-Toolen
Yellow Jackets' Kendrick LeSueur
Rebecca Johnston
Posted Nov 14, 2008
McGill-Toolen (9-2) has rolled into the playoffs once again as the top seed in their region. Last year's team came in without a blemish on their record. The Yellow Jackets came into post-season in 2008 with an 8-2 record, but that might not be a bad thing.
Much like a batter fouling off a couple of pitches, your chances get better you will connect after you get in a groove and adjust to what you've seen. You might even hit one out of the park.
Vince Dooley
and Jimmy Buffett's Alma Mater will face a third strike from a known quantity this week. It is the second meeting with Davidson this season.
The Warriors come into the game with an identical 9-2 record. Last time they met at the end of September the Warriors came out with a 14-13 win after shutting down their opponent's offense in the second half. That out-of-region game has little meaning this week. One team will advance, and one will go home.
Both teams are coming off grueling first round victories. McGill-Toolen took a 17-14 win over a talented and physical Blount team. They scored 17 points in the first half including kicker Andrew Dolan's 45-yard field goal in the second quarter, but it was the defense that won the second half for them.
Davidson didn't have it any easier. They turned the ball over five times (four interceptions), had a punt and a field goal attempt blocked in their 20-17 overtime win over Foley.
If either of these two teams were facing a squad that got away with an easy opening round those efforts might show up, but since they are both coming out of demanding performances it might not be a factor.
Coach Keith Powell's stinger defense held up their part of the bargain in the win over Blount.
"They did a great job," Coach Powell said. "Any time you hold anybody in the playoffs to two fourth quarter goal line stands it is a great accomplishment. We're very proud of our kids for what they were able to do."
McGill-Toolen has been without their senior quarterback
Cullen Wacker
(6-0, 195) after he suffered a knee injury during the regular season.
Coach Powell made an interesting and understandable call in the fourth quarter when he brought in his hobbled senior quarterback.
"Well we were backed up inside the one," Powell said. "We had a sophomore quarterback (Preston Messer) in there. I just didn't, whether good or bad, I just didn't want the whole game to rely on what he did. That's a little bit more pressure than I wanted to put on him. I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep at night if we had lost the game and not took the chance to put the senior that has quarterbacked 37-38 games in his career in the game. I just felt like he had been in that situation before, and it was time for me to put him in."
The gamble paid off when Wacker got them out of the hole to near midfield before they had to punt. Andrew Dolan boomed a 52-yarder, and Blount found themselves backed up on their own 14. A late interception by sophomore defensive back Camron Martin (6-2, 165) sealed the victory.
We asked Coach Powell about the experience Messer (6-0, 180) gained last week and in the previous weeks filling in for his senior quarterback.
"There is no doubt that's just going to help him in the future," Powell answered. "He's just a young 10th grader. He's done a great job for us the last three weeks coming in and having to play in big ball games, and that's only going to help him for the future."
What about Davidson this week and the fact they had a tough road to hoe last week and turned the ball over several times.
"They did have to go to overtime, but it's going to be a battle Friday night," Powell said. "It's two teams that know each other very well. It's going to come down to players making plays. That's the way it did the first game, 14-13. It just came down that they made a couple more plays than we did. We had opportunities to make plays. We just didn't do it."
Coach Fred Riley's Warriors run an old-fashioned, difficult to defend option offense that requires a lot of discipline from the defense.
We asked Coach Powell about the difficulty to switch gears and get his defense on-point to stop it.
"In one aspect it is different," he said. "But there are a lot of people running the option out of the spread offense now. A lot of your keys are still the same, but there is enough difference that it can cause you some problems."
"The biggest problem with them is that they run the true triple option. Not many people do that anymore in high school. So our kids have got to be very, very focused as to what their assignments are. You can stop them three or four downs in a row, and then the next series they come out and run the very same play and they go 80 yards with it."
"Then your kids get frustrated because they've stopped them on that same play five or six times. It's just the angles of the blocking is so key for them, and we can't create angles or creases for them."
There is probably not a much more degrading feeling in football than taking the bait against the option and finding yourself suddenly behind the play because you bit and didn't stay on your assignment. Patience will be a key for the Yellow Jacket defense.
"No doubt," Powell agreed. "You've got to be patient, and they throw the ball very well. They have started throwing the ball in the last two or three weeks, and when you are facing the triple option they will suck your secondary in. You run four or five plays in a row and then the secondary is up there playing nine in the box. They hit you over the top, and that's kind of what they did against Foley last week."
"Their quarterback (
Jarrell Smith
, Jr., 5-11, 175) and fullback (Martin Broughton, Sr., 5-10, 190) are just outstanding athletes, and they do such a good job of running their offense. We've got to be assignment oriented. Our kids have got to be very, very focused all week long on their assignments, and then when we get a chance to make plays we've got to make plays because if you give them a crease they can go 80 yards in one play," Powell reiterated.
From all appearances, this is becoming a pretty good rivalry between the two schools.
"Well, they are not our main rival, but it's beginning to look like it because they share our stadium, but it's a friendly rivalry. We get along good with them, and we look forward to the opportunity just to play them again."
This projects as a thrilling game between friends at Lipscomb Field Friday night.

Happy Independence Day!
Happy Independence Day from MamaKitty Reviews!
Happy Independence Day!
The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire.
When I joined the US Navy back in 2002, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States as well as the Declaration of Independence. Today, I will gather will my family and friends to watch the fireworks and celebrate the men and women who have gone before me and who continue after me protecting our freedom.
Be safe and have a happy 4th of July for those who celebrate.

Last weekend was a pretty busy one and a bit relaxing at the same time. We started Friday off with the "Jump for Joy" program at the Lynbrook Library. Registration preference is given to Lynbrook residents but if space allows they will allow non residents into the program. The program consists of toddler favs "Bob the Builder," "Happy and You Know It," "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and, my Valley Stream son's all-time favorite, "Thomas the Tank" theme song.
I found myself rockin' to "Dancing in the Street" while hula hooping, very poorly I might add. The kids dressed up in hard hats, police hats, race car driver hats, and even took turns crawling through a Thomas the Tank tunnel. During a little break, I snapped this photo of my son and his pre-k classmate. You should definitely sign up for the library's various programs shown here.
We then visited 16 Handles, which by the way has more than 16 flavors, the new frozen yogurt place on Atlantic Avenue in Lybrook. Can you say yum?

"Snake-oil for the lovelorn" is the performance peice-play currently opening at the q-Staff Theatre, and it's interesting, to say the least. they look they have fun, people go see it and have a good time — what does it hurt?
on production, very dark inside, and i think it turned out relatively well considering. still not good video light (we do have a crappy LCD one i ordered—at least it was cheap).i'm kind of hesitant for a video light anyway. i mean, it will be necessary for sure, but i don't even like using flash. i think it can be intrusive in certain situations, and you lose some of 'reality' in the photos. mostly, it's an aesthetic choice, because i've seen some GREAT photojournalism done with a flash, although those were only so good because the flash wasn't even really discernible.
and good video lights aren't cheap (if anybody knows of one, give me a holla: firstname.lastname@example.com)
Wow. anatomy lessons in the mall. no comment.
these guys are trying to do their part to help with big problems (global-warming, oil shortages, etc.), and it actually seems like it can be effective. especially if they are getting people to ride their bikes. i know for me, at least, a flat tire or other small problem can be all the excuse i need to drive instead of ride my bike.
i didn't even know there was an Italian Film Festival in Albuquerque. in my defense, it is only the second year for it. today's movie wrapped up the event—and what a way to do it! a SIX HOUR LONG MOVIE. actually, if i wasn't working, it sounds kind of cool. i don't know how much the tickets were, but they included a intermission lunch at Scalos. haven't eaten there for awhile (if ever
everyone was very nice about talking with me, and it was for a good cause (UNMH Children's Hospital).
the production worked out well, more or less. had a variety of shots. it's just a pain in the ass syncing audio, since we still don't have the damn proprietary mic input for the Sony camera. the option, horribly muddled audio, isn't really an option though.
this guy was a great help. he fixed my flat earlier, and it's cheap for students.
the video ended up okay. there were a lot of viewers, probably all bike-people. they seem to be a tight bunch.
People were not happy at the voting precinct i went to. can't blame them, though. it was a mess, and the people in charge were not prepared for the they got. That's a good thing probably, since it means more people are interested in politics than was previously expected.
shame on me—no good video light yet, so the outside interviews were REALLY dark and crappy. i recently got the okay from Jim (DL business mgr) to order some stuff we need, and video light will be among that (plus a new camera, that actually takes eternal mic input!)
As if that it's possible to cover the whole issue in 2 minutes — or for that matter, any issue. I guess that's why I like still-photos. You don't need to cover every facet of an issue, like is sometimes expected in video for some reason. With stills, you just need to make one frame, encapsulating the event, a defining moment, a substantial emotion from an issue and so on. Maybe the best thing we can do with video is NOT treat it like TV, but to bring the same attitudes from still photography to it, like the importance of personal experience, the using of one moment to elaborate on many more…ok done rambling.
SO, this video was fun to make. My ideal project is one utilizing stills for the above uses, and video mixed in for interviews, or other video-ee moments. Using the structure of an audio slideshow, I think you can express much more in a shorter amount of time than video because of the use of good photography. Well, there's some decent photos mixed in this video, and i think it goes far to add a sense of atmosphere and rhythm. I guess that's kind of like the idea of "montage" (old-school) in film.
Well this is the first part of the series on the NM Dem. Caucus we're doing. Interesting stuff, but I wish there was more time to work on projects. As it is, I kind of have a flexible schedule going, as far as deadlines and so forth, as long as the video's up before morning. woohoo. Sunrises galore.
As I get faster at production though (in theory), I'll have more time to work on interviews and shooting and stuff.
Sebastian Pais Iriart, interviewed here, is an interesting guy. I first shot him doing a capoeira demo for a foreign language day thing. Then I say him at a protest, dressed up in an orange jumpsuit and mask (i'll try to find the photo, but it didn't run anywhere), giving an interview for Univisìon. Then he was ASUNM president for awhile. Busy guy.
This was the first video I've done as multimedia editor at the NM Daily Lobo. Well, it has some interesting people, but I obviously have some way to go with production. I think I need to pay more attention to inconsistencies in the dialog, or more likely, what's edited together.
Oh well. It was fun, and everybody was very nice and cooperative. But it will be more of a challenge to get people on video than still-photos — it's just much more TV-like than how I'm used to working.

Dani Pedrosa moved to the top of the times on the second day of testing at Sepang, as the HRC Honda rider became the first man to break into the 2m00s bracket.
The Spaniard, who set his best lap time early in the morning session, was more than half a second faster than his teammate Casey Stoner, while Ben Spies – trying different specifications of factory Yamaha M1s – was third fastest. Pedrosa, who reckoned he had never ridden so fast around Sepang, tried the new 2011 engine among other things, and declared himself pleased with it.
"I think it's the first time I've ridden so fast on this track, but you're just fresh in the morning and I did four very good first laps," he said. "I was not looking for a time, but I saw that the track conditions were good and I pushed. The closer you get to the limit, the clearer the changes you are doing on the bike become, which lead you in the right direction.
"Today I tried the new engine, which has improved from Valencia, some chassis configurations and rear shocks. Tomorrow the plan is to continue comparing both bikes and it would be great to come away with the chassis and engine decided for the next test."
Andrea Dovizioso made it three HRC bikes in the top four, while Marco Simoncelli, using a factory RC212V run out of the Gresini garage, was fifth fastest ahead of teammate Hiroshi Aoyama.
World Champion Jorge Lorenzo was seventh fastest after spending the day evaluating a new chassis for his factory Yamaha, while Alvaro Bautista slipped to eighth on the sole Suzuki.
Hector Barbera was the fastest Ducati rider in 10th spot, the Aspar team 1.3sec off the ultimate pace, but still some 0.3sec up on the factory GP11 of Nicky Hayden who was 11th.
Valentino Rossi struggled with his injured shoulder once again, and was two tenths slower than his teammate Hayden, the factory Ducati pair split by Randy de Puniet's Pramac Ducati.
Pos Rider Team Time Gap 1. Dani Pedrosa Honda 2m00.770s 2. Casey Stoner Honda 2m01.434s + 0.664s 3. Ben Spies Yamaha 2m01.508s + 0.738s 4. Andrea Dovizioso Honda 2m01.512s + 0.742s 5.

Dear Editor,
Forewest is claiming that its proposal is 51 units per acre, but 0.7 acres are between top of bank and 2.19 are a conservation area (that would just be the 30-metre setback on either side of the stream).
So if you take almost 3 acres from 10.6, you get about eight acres, and the density is about 65 units per acre.
They get around this by taking out only the 0.7 acres and calculating density based on 9.9 acres. Not very logical.
Smartgrowth is supposed to be 20 to 30 units per acre, and of course, with transit a long way off, the parking and traffic problems will be horrendous.
Should the proposal proceed, it will result in the protection of a significant area of Jeffries Brook riparian habitat by dedicating 2.19 acres, or 21 per cent of the site, to the Township for conservation purposes, and include the completion of a portion of the Jeffries Brook Greenway.
This shows that it is just the riparian habitat they are protecting, and that has to be protected anyway. There isn't really any benefit to the Township taking this on, as opposed to requiring the developer to maintain it.
So the Township is getting nothing from this developer other than what the developer had to give up anyway, and the developer is going to make a huge profit, since he would have paid the going price for 12 units per acre back in 2006, and he is now getting a huge increase in density.
This is what is happening all across Willoughby. And the Township has now said, with its recent update to the Development Cost Charges, that they are not going to try to acquire urban areas for parks anymore (they reduced what developers are going to pay for parks acquisition to rural land values).
So people living on Willoughby with this sea of housing will not have good-sized parks that they can go to.
It seems to me, if you put in high density, you should get more green space in return, so people have a place to go rather than having to drive to find a park (not very sustainable).
Lorraine Baldwin, Willoughby

SEC Form DEFR14C
Definition of 'SEC Form DEFR14C'
A revision to form DEFA14C. This form is a definitive information statement that discloses important information but is not connected to the solicitation of proxy votes. The information contained in a DEFA14C (or DEFR14C) form can cover a multitude of items that are deemed important for shareholders.
Investopedia explains 'SEC Form DEFR14C'
Section 14C of the code deals with "definitive information statements" not related to a proxy solicitation. The "DEF" prefix refers to definitive information, and the "R" refers to "revision." Any revision to information contained in a DEFA14C would require a DEFR14C amendment.
