High-Frequency Trading (HFT) |
This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition. |
In very broad terms, high-frequency trading (also known as HFT) refers to the buying and selling of stocks at extremely fast speeds with the help of powerful computers. Using complex algorithms, these computers can scan dozens of public and private marketplaces simultaneously, execute millions of orders a second, and alter strategies in a matter of milliseconds.[1] In the U.S., high-frequency trading firms represent 2.0% of the approximately 20,000 firms operating today, but account for 73.0% of all equity trading volume.[2]
As an example, let's assume that a buyer wants to buy 100,000 shares of INTL. The market price of an INTL share is $26.10, but the buyer's limit price is $26.40. In other words, the buyer is willing to pay up to $26.40 for each share of INTL or $0.30 more than its current price.[3]
Via flash orders from NASDAQ, high-frequency trading firms get a peek at these orders for 30 milliseconds before they are shown to everyone else. Having detecting a demand for INTL shares, the computers at these firms then start issuing small immediate or cancel (IOC) orders at specific levels above the current price of INTL shares. If the first sell order at $26.15 is accepted by the buyer, another sell order at $26.20 is issued, and so on.
This continues until a sell order at $26.45 is issued. Because the buyer's limit price is $26.40, the sell order at $26.45 is rejected. At this stage, the firms' computers flood the buyer with sell orders at $26.39, causing most of the company's order of 100,000 INTL shares to be filled at $0.29 cents above market price.
Under normal circumstances, a buyer would see the sell order at $26.15 and might subsequently drop the limit price on his/her order. However, high-frequency trading computers are so fast that unless the buyer owned comparable machines, he/she would have no chance to do this.
Firms that engage in high-frequency trading include proprietary trading desks at a small number of major investment banks (like Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch), hundreds of the most secretive proprietary trading groups (like Wolverine, Renaissance Technologies, IMC and Getco) and less than 100 of the most sophisticated hedge funds.[2] As a rule they tend to be secretive, stealthy, smart and relatively unknown.
High-frequency trading strategies are highly dependent on ultra-low latency.[2] To realize any real benefit from implementing these strategies, a firm must have a real-time, colocated, high-frequency trading platform where data is collected, and orders are created, routed and executied in sub-millisecond times.[2]
Since many high-frequency trading strategies require transactions in more than one asset class and across multiple exchanges, appropriate infrastructure is required to facilitate long-haul connectivity between different data centers.[2]
The competitive advantage of a high-frequency trading strategy dilutes over time. Although a firm's high-level trading strategy may remain consistent over time, its micro-level strategies are constantly altered for two important reasons.[2] Firstly, because high-frequency trading depends on extremely precise market interactions and security correlations, traders need to regularly adjust code to reflect subtle changes in the dynamic market.[2] Secondly, competitive intelligence is so good across rival trading firms that each is exposed to the increasing susceptibility of their strategies being reverse-engineered, turning their most profitable ideas into their most risky.[2]
On 21 July 2009, in the wake of Sergey Aleynikov's theft of top secret code for Goldman's high-frequency trading platform, Matthew Goldstein of Reuters[4] called for "securities regulators to start taking a [closer] look at so-called high frequency trading and the impact that this speed-of-light trading strategy [was] having on the markets." He argued that if "a computer code [was] valuable enough for someone to steal, and critical enough for a Wall Street firm to go to federal authorities to protect, one would think that regulators would want to know why it is so important."
On 24 July 2009, Karl Denninger of The Market Ticker[5] accused high-frequency traders of "intentionally probing the market with tiny orders [...] to gain an illegal view into the other side's willingness to pay. This pattern of offering [sell orders at different levels] was intended to do one and only one thing; manipulate the market by discovering [...] a hidden piece of information - the other side's limit price!" He went on to argue that "the presence of these programs [would] guarantee huge profits to the banks running them" and that "retail buyers would get screwed as the market [moved] much faster to the upside than it otherwise would."

The Navy has given an extension to contractors bidding on the $5.4 billion Next Generation Enterprise Network project. Bids were due July 18, but the Navy has moved the deadline back until Aug. 8 because of several amendments to the solicitation and severe weather in the Washington D.C. area that caused power outages, according to a FedBizOpps.gov posting.
More on the Navy's NGEN strategy
The Navy is using NGEN to replace the Navy Marine Corps Intranet as the IT support contract for 800,000. The service s spends about $1 billion a year through the NMCI contract, held by Hewlett-Packard Co. HP Enterprise Services is leading one of two teams chasing NGEN. The second team is led by Harris Corp. and Computer Sciences Corp. So far they are the only announced bidders on the contract. The extension of the due date for proposals apparently doesn't impact the current timeline of an award by February 2013. NMCI has been in place since 2000, when it was won by EDS Corp., which HP later acquired. NGEN, however, will be a five-year contract, with a one-year base and four one year options. NGEN also is being evaluated as a low price/technically acceptable proposal. The Navy has said they see no services in the contract that they would be willing to pay a premium for.

"low price/technically acceptable", then the real Navy starts to live with it and it no longer is "Technically Acceptable", so here come the change orders. Will this contract follow NMCI Management, when the Contractor had a problem during their first few years, they didn't hire a technical specialist to fix the problem, they hired another Retired Admiral to play golf with their Active Duty Buddies!
Here is more evidence that Navy has no clue on how to manage IT programs. The cost overruns, sole source extensions, bloated program office (with over 200 consultants) has cost the tax payer billions in avoidable waste. All the while, the DON CIO issues more and more unless policy that only increases paperwork and now focusing on auditing any IT project over $500k. I can understand why the USMC has chosen to go their own way. Unfortunately, no one in the Navy chain of command is willing or able to hold its IT leadership accountable for outcomes. Navy IT is broker, and those who have moved up into higher positions at DOD CIO and DCMO are to blame for creating a culture of incompetence.

"The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I'm not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire."
Ministry of John the Baptist
3 In those days John the Baptist appeared in the desert of Judea announcing, 2 " Change your hearts and lives! Here comes the kingdom of heaven! " 3 He was the one of whom Isaiah the prophet spoke when he said:
4 John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
5 People from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, and all around the Jordan River came to him. 6 As they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River. 7 Many Pharisees and Sadducees came to be baptized by John. He said to them, " You children of snakes! Who warned you to escape from the angry judgment that is coming soon? 8 Produce fruit that shows you have changed your hearts and lives. 9 And don't even think about saying to yourselves, Abraham is our father. I tell you that God is able to raise up Abraham's children from these stones. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that doesn't produce good fruit will be chopped down and tossed into the fire. 11 I baptize with water those of you who have changed your hearts and lives. The one who is coming after me is stronger than I am. I'm not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12 The shovel he uses to sift the wheat from the husks is in his hands. He will clean out his threshing area and bring the wheat into his barn. But he will burn the husks with a fire that can't be put out. "
In this book, Paul Walaskay discusses Luke's description of the early church, its leadership, and its struggles as a people of God amid competing religious claims. He helps the reader understand Luke and his contemporaries and examines the first-century church's situation in light of today's issues.
Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice. Each volume explains the biblical book in its original historical context and explores its significance for faithful living today. These books are ideal for individual study and for Bible study classes and groups.

The producer of a new documentary on Fort Scratchley has welcomed the Australian Government's announcement of an additional $4 million funding for the historical site.
The history of Fort Scratchley and the battle to restore and protect it from vandalism, is the focus of a new documentary produced by a researcher at the University of Newcastle.
Ms Susan Kerrigan, Associate Lecturer in the Faculty of Science and Information Technology, produced the documentary Using Fort Scratchley as part of her PhD studies. The Fort has been the subject of community interest following recent attacks of vandalism and delays in restoration work.
Ms Kerrigan said the documentary was timely, as this Anzac Day marked the third anniversary of the closure of Fort Scratchley for repairs.
"Fort Scratchley is a site of national historical significance. This documentary includes never before seen oral histories, animation, photos and graphics to emphasise the historical and diverse usage of the site," said Ms Kerrigan.
"Of special interest is the 3D animation which recreates the night of the 8 June 1942, when a Japanese submarine attacked Newcastle. Fort Scratchley returned fire and is the only coastal defence military installation to have returned fire on an enemy vessel during war time," said Ms Kerrigan.
"Along with maritime, coal mining and military stories, the documentary also includes cultural accounts of traditional land owners, the Awabakal people, through sketches by convict artist Joseph Lycett."
Members of the Fort Scratchley Historical Society also feature in the documentary, which has been three years in the making.
The 50 minute documentary was funded by the University of Newcastle and Newcastle City Council. The 3D animations were created by four IT students from the University, the documentary was edited by Communication Honours student Kathy Freeman, and the music was written by local musician Mark Tinson.
It is expected that the documentary will be displayed at Fort Scratchley for tourists and visitors when the restoration work is complete.
Editor's note: Images from the Using Fort Scratchley documentary are available from email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com

Our bodies don't come with an extended warranty.
The good news is they can last quite a while, but keeping the parts moving smoothly, and warding off the natural effects of aging, is the owner's responsibility. Each decade of a woman's life brings forth new challenges and work-arounds to maintain the best possible health.
The overall message?
"Good nutrition and good movement and good calories and making sure people are moving, staying agile, flexible and strong," said Dr. Judi Woolger, medical director of executive medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Exercise is a key component of living well, into the 90s and beyond.
"The teens and 20s, those are the ages that will play a big role later in life, that's when women reach their maximum bone density and that starts to taper down with age," says Dr. Luis Roca, a gynecologist with South Miami Hospital's Center for Women and Infants.
Dr. Vivian Birnbaum, internal medicine specialist at Mount Sinai Medical Center, recommends that women exercise five days a week for 30 minutes apiece with a mix of cardiovascular activities like walking, swimming, dancing or biking, along with stretching such as yoga or Pilates, and strengthening exercises of the arms, shoulders, legs and abdominals.
"And that's a minimum, ideal would be more than that," she says.
Haven't started yet? Don't fret.
"The biggest change anyone can make in life is changing from non-exercise to exercise," says cardiologist Dr. Adam Splaver, director of echocardiography for the Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. "I tell my patients all the time: if you're not exercising, try once a week. You kept your appointment with me, now put an appointment on the calendar to exercise for 15 to 20 minutes, for a month. At the end of the month, put the appointment on twice. And then three times. And when you are done with that, increase the intensity.
"Crawl before you can walk, walk before you run and it's the same with exercise."
Here, then, is a guide to dancing through the decades.
The 20s
• Girl, you're a woman now: "Before 20, patients should have all of their vaccines. It's important women get the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to prevent sexually transmitted diseases related to cancer in the uterus and cervix and vagina and genital areas," Birnbaum says.
Once sexually active, check for cervical cancer via a pap smear test every two years unless abnormalities are detected, upon which testing should be more frequent.
• Watch for the Freshman 15: ""We break our routines, some women are a lot more active in high school and athletics and get to the collegiate level and may not want to, or have the ability to, compete at the higher level and they become more sedentary,'' said Roca. "Diet becomes an issue ... a lot of women are now away from home and have to determine what they'll eat.''
Avoid processed foods, simple sugars and empty carbs, Splaver adds.
During annual check-ups have your lipid profiles checked, meaning tests for cholesterol, blood pressure. Begin performing breast self-exams.
• Forbidden fruit: If you haven't begun smoking as a teenager, don't start now. Seek counseling if using tobacco, recreational drugs or abusing alcohol.

AMD has announced immediate availability of the AMD FirePro W600 professional graphics card, the company's first professional graphics card to leverage AMD's Graphics Core Next architecture and 28nm production technology, for use in high-resolution, multi-screen display wall environments.
System integrators and display installation builders are rapidly replacing single, low-resolution displays with the latest in HD LED, LCD and plasma technologies that can reach audiences on massive, high-resolution screens grouped together to form a single image or divided into multiple streams of information, AMD noted. The thinner, lighter and increasingly cost-effective nature of these technologies makes multi-screen display walls attractive to a range of companies, including those in the advertising, entertainment, operations, security, training and video-conferencing markets.
The AMD FirePro W600 Professional Graphics card can support up to six high-resolution displays or projectors from a single-slot card and six mini DisplayPort connectors, while the card also equips with 2GB of GDDR5 graphics memory for multimedia performance, the vendor said.

Review of CSaLT
Monday, 26 September 2011
Towards the end of 2010 a five-year review of the Centre was conducted with Professor Sasha Barab of Indiana State University heading the panel for the review. He was joined on the panel by Dr Jack Bana (retired) and Professor Beth Walker (Associate Dean - Business) to complete the review. Overall the report was seen to endorse the value and directions being pursued by the Centre. There were four main areas highlighted as challenges to address: Reliance on Director; loss of key researchers and post-doctoral scholars; inadequate funding for Centre administration; and, lack of promotion of a strategic plan. An action plan has been developed and endorsed by the Academic Board of the University.
Overall the report was seen to generally endorse the value and directions being pursued by the Centre.
There were four main areas highlighted: Reliance on Director; loss of key researchers and post docs; inadequate funding for Centre administration; and, lack of promotion of a strategic plan.
Reliance on Director: The Director has been the leader for the two large research projects but a number of smaller ones have other staff as leaders. Over the past year at least two proposals for large projects have been submitted that do not have the Director as the leader – both were unsuccessful. However, this strategy will continue to be supported.
Loss of key researchers: This is a general problem faced by the School of Education as a whole. Recruitment and appointment of new staff to the School emphasises the need for doctoral qualifications and active researchers. Two strategies that have been pursued by CSaLT are to apply for postdoctoral scholars and to support the development of staff through involvement in research teams. The latter is dependent on gaining large research grants.
Ongoing Funding for Centre administration: Funding from the Faculty for administration has been secure over the past two years so this is not currently a problem. In the longer term, 5% of the 15% USC on CSaLT projects could be returned to the centre to support CSaLT administration.
Promotion of strategic plan: CSaLT has produced a flyer which is available to staff and distributed to schools that outlines the mission and services offered by CSaLT. In addition this information is expanded on the Centre website and is presented at seminars throughout the year.
A number of opportunities were outlined.
Funding Partnerships of Sponsorships with Industry: There are critical limits to this opportunity with the funding available to education being small and the main interest in commercial industry being development, not research. In the past the Centre has unsuccessfully pursued collaboration with commercial industry – success has always been with non-commercial industry.
Leadership to the School and pre-service programs with use of ICT in teaching and learning: This has been a focus of the Centre in the past but is largely dependent on the policies set by the Head of School. It is likely that the new Head of School will be supportive of a return to this role by the Centre. Plans are already underway for this to occur through the new national project, Teaching Teachers for the Future.
Commercialization: To this point it has not been considered productive to pursue commercialisation. Advice will be sought from the Manager Research Commercialisation in ORI for any new products.
Appointment of an Associate Director to take on an entrepreneurial role: No obvious source of funding has been identified to support such an appointment and it is questioned whether this would be the most appropriate use of any additional resources made available to the Centre.
Resulting Plans
In 2010 the following plans are intended to address the recommendations of the review.
Take on leadership in the promotion of the connection between research and teaching in the pre-service programs.
The Centre has been instrumental in supporting the Council of Deans of Education in developing a successful proposal to improve the use of ICT in teacher education programs. This includes connecting and conducting research within the project. This project, Teaching Teachers for the Future, will provide the ECU School of Education (SoE) with 1.5FTE and will be led by Paul Newhouse.
In connection with the aforementioned project the Centre will convene a team that will work with the School to develop and implement policy and practice in the use of ICT in programs. This will include an audit of programs and units and the implementation of an ongoing professional learning strategy and the generation of research outputs related to the teaching-learning-practice nexus.
Post-doctoral Scholars
The Centre will apply to extend the current two post-doctoral scholar positions to the end of 2011 and then apply for a new position in 2012. This would allow the Centre to capitalise on the completion of the current ARC Linkage grant project, Digital Forms of Assessment. These two researchers were integrally involved in the project and are in the best position to assist us in increasing our publications using the results of the project. They are also in a good position to assist us in developing proposals to continue this work and to transition to a follow-up project with the Curriculum Council.
The Centre will continue to apply for research grants to cover the cost of a post-doctoral scholar position.
Strategic planning and leadership of the Centre
The Centre presents a strategic plan annually as part of the report to the Faculty. This is done in conjunction with the Advisory Board. The plan typically includes strategies for encouraging research, devolving research output, engaging with the education community and industry, and meeting the needs of the School. While the Director leads this process it involves the wide range of representatives on the Board.
The review suggested investigating a role for an Associate Director. This was discussed at a Board meeting with a decision taken to approach the Head of the School of Education to call for applicants. As a result Jeremy Pagram was selected as the Associate Director of the Centre for a period of three years.

Hey all,
I'm currently 23 years old, 6'3", and 215 lbs. I would say I'm not fat at all, but I don't know my body fat percent. I've been lifting for 3 years now, off and on, but have recently gotten into it really hard this past year. I use proper form and have been able to increase my weights decently fast. However, I have decided to purchase Halovar because I've heard good reviews on it.
I want to post my gains and anything that happens out of the ordinary on this thread.
I will not start Halovar until the 2nd week of January, because I want to drink on New Years Eve and then start my 2 week preload of Organ Shield.
What I currently take:
Super Pump Max
ISOPure Mass protein
Omega 3 Fish Oil
What I have prepared for my Halovar Cycle (All bought from Strong Supplement Shop):
Halovar (60 caps, 2 times a day, 1 in morning (before carb meal) and 1 after my workout later in the day)
Organ Shield
SERM (Nolva and Clomid?)
I will continue to take ISOPure Mass protein and Omega 3 Fish Oil, but will stop the Super Pump Max once I start the Halovar cycle.
I have a strict diet I will be going on involving chicken/brown rice/black beans/eggs/onions/green peppers/cottage cheese/greek yogurt w/ fruit/bananas/wheat pasta/sweet potatoes. (Yes, I will probably eat the same stuff every day...but nothing a **** ton of hot sauce can't fix for taste).
I will workout 5 times a week, Monday-Friday. Chest/Arms/Shoulders/Back/Legs. Should I incorporate cardio into this as well?
I've also heard you want to have some fat on your when you start this cycle because that can help build testosterone? Is that a fact or myth?
So here are my questions: (I don't start until January, so I want to be prepared for this cycle and have the answers I'm looking for)
1. Is 1 Halovar cap in the AM and 1 Halovar cap for Post workout a good idea? Or should I do it Preworkout. I will probably take 1 cap at 7 AM, and then another around 4-6 PM, depending on when I workout.
2. Should I incorporate cardio into my routine? Or just do lifting only?
3. For SERM...Should I do Nolva (20/20/10/10) AND Clomid (50/50/25/25)? Or Would just Nolva be fine?
4. Having some fat helps build testosterone?
5. Any questions for me, or comments to make about my cycle/diet?
Thanks everyone, I will keep you all updated throughout my cycle. Hope to hear some answers from these questions soon.

text: Anybody got any ideas on parts bins. I am kind of in a rebuilding stage in my basement shop, which also holds my woodworking equipment. I have bags and boxes of nuts and bolts and washers and screws strewn all over one of my benches to the point where there's not room to set anything down. Used to have a steel cabinet with many bins for such things. How about the plastic bins and the racks or louvered panels to mount them on? Thought about building them out of wood, can be done but I'm not sure it's worth the work. As always, looking for the cheapest way, but don't want junk either. Any ideas?

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images? |
The insanely stellar guitar work can't go without mention. He's like Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant all in one body, and is probably one of the wittiest guitar players I've ever heard. The things he does with the lap steel (NOT TABLETOP STEEL, thanks very much) neck on his dual-neck monstrosity are worth your attention alone. Never mind the lightning quick regular guitar leads and fills, which leave a lot of what passes for guitar playing these days in the dust.
To sum up, if you like REAL country music, Junior Brown is your man. If you are sick of homogenized, synthesized, syrupy phony country created by record companies to sell units to overweight sleepy yuppies, Junior Brown is the perfect antidote.
Ignore the listener from Massachusettes. "Venim Wearin' Denim" has probably the best lyrics on the whole album. I dare you to find wryer words on any song. (Allusions to snakes throughout: "She'll tell you lies with beady eyes / On a big, long fork-ed tongue. If you give that gal a diamond ring, / you'll get a diamondback. / She just denim wearin' venim, boy, she's always making tracks."
His baritone voice is wonderful to listen to and the guitar is amazing. Don't let the term "country" turn you off. I'm not a country fan at all and was expecting Junior to be a bluesman. My musical interests are Dylan, the Dead, Santana, Waits, etc.... This is a wonderful surprise that COUNTRY can sound GOOD.
This album is reccommended, but if you are aiming for more guitar, get "Guit With It." (It's next on MY list.)
Great recording with excellent steel guitar playing!
This understated guitar great's talent can be heard on the guit-solo in the middle of "I Hung It Up". The thunking sound you hear at the end of the song is your jaw hitting the table. He starts the album off with "Gotta Get Up Every Morning" a humorous look at a partying girl friend that rolls in from clubbing just as he's getting up to go to work. He continues this parody cautious look at women with "Venom Wearin' Denim". He sings with Red Simpson on the title track, a true truck-driving song with some fancy guitar work. You can't have a Country singer without a ballad, and Brown has a couple. He croons on "I Want to Hear It From You", and the nearly depressing "Parole Board". Brown just isn't Country though. He likes surf too, as he shows with "Surf Medley", the classic compilation of "Pipe Line," "Walk Don't Run" and "Secret Agent Man".
To put it simply, Brown is amazing. He's definitely one to look at if you are into Country or are just a guitar loving fool. The man is amazing with his axe. His music is fun and enjoyable as well. The only complaint I have about this album is that it is very short, clocking in just over half an hour.

Got Native in You? Great. Just Try to Avoid Pulling a Justin Bieber
When Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber revealed in Rolling Stone that he believes he's part Native, he wasn't breaking new ground for a celebrity—believing or claiming to have Native ancestry is nearly as much as a celebrity-interview cliche as "...but what I really want to do is direct." However, throwing in the comment that he thinks he could get "free gas" because of his heritage turned a perhaps-interesting detail about him into a confession of ignorance.
Many celebrities with no documented Tribal affiliation have said they're part Native—and there's usually little reason to doubt the sincerity of their beliefs. But there's a difference between having an Indian ancestor and actually knowing anything about Indians. It may seem like obvious advice, but perhaps it should be the first lesson a publicist drills into a client: If you don't know what you're talking about, best keep your mouth shut. Here are some celebrities who have managed to discuss the Native roots they believe they possess—without pulling a Bieber.
Channing Tatum
The list of celebrities who've said they have Native heritage is extremely long, and often the detail finds its way into the biography without a clear statement from the star. Such is the case with Channing Tatum, star of Magic Mike, who may be as much as a quarter Native American. In a cover feature in GQ magazine from 2009, the writer described Tatum thusly: "He's 29. A part Native American son of a roofer who fell through a roof, broke his back, and ended up a traveling salesman, and of a mother who never doubted him." Did Tatum say he's Native? Presumably he did, and presumably GQ fact-checks its articles. Still, we don't have a direct quote, much less a specific Tribal heritage.
Vanessa Hudgens
In a 2006 interview, High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens was asked about her ethnicity; she answered "Gosh, I'm everything. Pretty much I'm Filipino and Caucasian but within that, I'm Spain Spanish, Chinese, American Indian, Irish. "
Anthony Kiedis
The lead singer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers is said to be of Mohican ancestry on his mother's side. In 2007, after the birth of his son, Everly Bear, he told People that the name had some Native significance to him: "The mama came up with Bear. ... That made sense to me because he's from me and I feel like I'm part of the bear clan, and I think it's nice to have a little bit of earth in your name."
Megan Fox
In 2010, Megan Fox said that she'd really like to play the Apache superhero Rainmaker if the Gen 13 comic book were ever made into a movie. In slightly defensive remarks, she said she wouldn't want "people" (presumably Indians) to "protest" if she were in the role: "She's a Native American and I have a little bit of that blood in me. ... It would be a bit of a stretch—but if Jake Gyllenhaal can be the Prince of Persia, I think that I can do that."
Johnny Depp
The actor playing Tonto in the movie version of The Lone Ranger (coming 2013) has been asked about his Native heritage, and answered at length for an Entertainment Weekly article: "I guess I have some Native American somewhere down the line," he says. "My great grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian. Makes sense in terms of coming from Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek." He also added some speculation which, had he not cited his sources, might have come off as Bieber-esque: "The interesting thing ... if you find out you've got Native American blood, which a lot of people do, is you think about where it comes from and go back and read the great books, Dee Brown's Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee or [John Ehle's] Trail of Tears, you have to think, somewhere along the line, I'm the product of some horrific rape. You just have that little sliver in your chemical makeup."
Taylor Lautner
It's been well documented that many supporting actors who play Quileute Indians in the Twilight movies—Chaske Spencer, Gil Birmingham and Julia Jones, to name a few—are of Native heritage. But what about Taylor Lautner, one of the leads, who plays Quileute Jacob Black? In an interview from 2008 Comic Con, he answers the question very simply: "I have some Native American in my distant background."
The Jonas Brothers
Asked about their heritage during a video chat with fans, the brothers simply stated, "We're Italian, German, Irish, Cherokee Indian."
Shannon Elizabeth
Following her rise to prominence in American Pie, actress Shannon Elizabeth (born Shannon Elizabeth Fadal) mentioned Cherokee as one of several components of her mother's heritage. "My father is half-Syrian, my mother a mix of English, Irish, German and Cherokee," Elizabeth said in 2000, as quoted in the Orlando Sentinel. "I guess you could say she's a mutt, but she's the best mom in the world."
Tommy Lee Jones
The Oscar-winning Hollywood actor took ownership of his Indian roots as few seeming Caucasians do; in statements that ran in Cowboys & Indians magazine, he said that what he'd achieved in his life was, "Not bad for a little Indian boy. Not bad." Jones' claim is on his grandmother's side; when the writer asked him what tribe she was from, Jones replied: "It's not a tribe. It's a nation. ... The Cherokee Nation."
Bert Kaulaity
What is the difference of
What is the difference of someone being a quarter irish and an 1/8th native, you can claim the irish but not the native. I know for a fact that I am native, unfortunately I do not know what nation. Why? because My great great grandfather who ran away at 12 to NY married a white woman and his grandsons wife denied her children their heritage. So my gg grandfather was not on any roll and I cant be a card carrying member. Maybe my shovel teeth are proof enough. I don't want anything free or handed to me..I just want to recognize my ancestors and be proud of the blood that flows through my veins..
I think that you should only
I think that you should only claim to be Native if you are an enrolled member of a tribe or if you are actually culturaly involved in your tribe. Unless they actually help Native tribes it really does/proves nothing to claim to be Native. I find it annoying that everyone now claims to be Natvie when they probably know nothing about it.
white people always seen to
white people always seen to claim to be Cherokee, it's sickening.. why claim to be something you're. what do you expect to get out of "having native in you" ?
Not everyone in this world is
Not everyone in this world is full blooded anything anymore.
If someone's great grandparent's happened to be native Indian and that great grandchild wants to be proud of their native heritage...let them do so! It's not like they are looking for "treaty rights" or benefits! Like OMG.
If they are the child of a mother of a grandmother of G grand-mother or GG grandmother. Then they have some native Indian blood in them. Even if it's 1/16 or 1/32. They could be 1/8 Italian 1/8 Cherokee 1/14 Irish and 1/2 German or whatever. Let them be who they are. They are Mixed blood and so are just as proud to be who they are as you are. No need to go all native on everyone!

And why do we always hear the
And why do we always hear the saying claim to be native? They're not trying to "claim" (take) anything. They just want to recognize the blood flowing through their veins as one commenter put it. And we can so called "claim" French or Dutch or English or Scottish or German blood etc. in our society, but it's wrong for others to recognize Native Indian blood too? that's ignorant.

How Baby's Position Affects You (and Your Delivery)
Your baby's head is the largest part of her body, so when a baby delivers head-first, it usually goes without saying that the rest of the baby follows. But there are many variations from this standard head-first position, such as breech presentation, transverse lie, and shoulder-first. And even if your baby presents head-first, her face can be pointing down, up, or even face-first. These little surprises keep obstetricians and midwives on alert with each seemingly routine delivery.
So what do these various positions mean to you? Here's a primer on baby presentation basics.
In the head-first category, the shape of the mother's pelvis can determine which way the head is placed. The most common way is face-down, allowing the easiest measurement to clear the pelvis. This position is especially helpful because the head can pivot up against the pubic bone, allowing the chin's appearance to finish the delivery of the full head.
Face-up or occipital posterior (back of the head down) is a more difficult delivery because the baby can't flex the head on exit. It's like delivering a baby that weights a full pound more. It's not impossible, but it's more difficult to effectively push, and the pushing stage of labor can last longer than usual.
If your baby's head is sideways, this is called transverse position. Usually the head can be gently rotated by the obstetrician to face-down for a normal delivery.
Asynclitism, or a head-first position wherein the head is tilted to the right or left from the midline, is yet another birth presentation. Many people feel that an epidural given before the head has descended well into the pelvis causes the maternal muscles that normally guide the head down correctly to become relaxed, resulting in a sloppy, unguided descent. It's a hard positioning to work with and can lead to a C-section.

Fall Beauty Buy: Marchesa for Le Metier de Beaute
Filed under: Celebrity Shopping, Cosmetics and Fragrance, Celebrity Design
There's little we don't love about cult-fave makeup line Le Métier de Beauté, but their latest collaboration, inspired by Marchesa's Fall 2010 RTW line, takes the cake. Packaged in a sleek credit card-esque case, the gem of the collection is a compact perfect for a night on the town - pressed powder, concealer, lip gloss in a cherry shine (La Cerise Noir), a cream blush in a peachy pink (La Peche) and a blue-black shadow (Le Minuit). The design of the compact - a sleek mercurial silver hue - was even inspired by Sandra Bullock's Marchesa dress for the 82nd Academy Awards. The collection also features highlighting and concealing pens, double-ended lip gloss and another mini compact.
"Each season," explained Georgina Chapman, co-founder and designer of Marchesa, "Keren and I introduce a new collection, but with the classic and consistent signature that is Marchesa – we transport our customers back to a time when luxury fashion meant the best in tailoring, design, fabric, etc. When it came to launching a cosmetics collection, we wanted to do the same and we found immediately that Le Métier de Beauté shared these same core values."
"The Collection takes the unparalleled textures and formulas Le Métier de Beauté is known for and transfixes them with the essence of Marchesa," says Joanna Vorachek Austin, President of Le Métier de Beauté. "From the sleek packaging and the innovative formulas to the flawless application, the Marchesa for Le Métier de Beauté collaboration brings the best of both brands to the forefront of luxury."
The line will be available exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores beginning on Fashion's Night Out, September 10th.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Combining a number of loans into a single new loan. Consolidation typically extends the repayment period, lowers the monthly payments, and thereby increases the interest the borrower will have to pay over the life of the consolidated loan.

I don't care if you've new to the blues, have never before heard a BB King song before, or have never seen BB King in concert. This is perhaps the best introduction to the blues as you'll ever hear. From the Rolling Stones to Heavy D, there's something for everybody.
Typically the phrase "something for everybody" means lukewarm acceptance across a wide range of genres. I tried so hard to hate this album, but I just can't help loving it. Every artist here really sounds like they're pouring their best into the recording.
I defy you to tell me Bonnie's not leaning back and gritting her teeth when she plays slide guitar. Tell me that Heavy D wasn't breaking more than his usual room-temperature sweat when BB kicks the track back to him. My money's on Mick Jagger wishing he had some of Keith's alcohol-sodden blood running in his veins when the first few riffs of BB's guitar hits back harder than Mick expected.
Now that you've listened to it, go buy Blues on the Bayou. Then buy a Susan Tedeschi album. Grab some Little Milton too. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt at all to round it out with some Albert King, Ronnie Earl, and maybe some Johnny Lang or Kenny Wayne Shepherd if you're feeling spunky. But overall, shame on you if you don't have any John Lee Hooker!
This cd would be a good introduction to the blues. We can see how many of these popular musicians have been influenced and moved by the blues.

Mental Health: have you been affected by the recession? We would welcome your views.
PND often starts within 1-2 months of giving birth. It can start after several months. Depression in pregnancy can continue after birth. PND may last for weeks or months.
Many causes have been suggested. It is more likely if you have:
We don't know enough about PND to prevent it. These things make sense:
Talk to your GP or Health Visitor. For urgent help, go to the Accident and Emergency Department or contact your GP or your mental health service.
The help you need depends on how severe your depression is. Everyone can try the self-help suggestions below. If this is not enough, you might benefit from a talking therapy. For more severe depression, you may need medication, with or without talking therapy.
Most women will get better without treatment in 3 to 6 months. 1 in 4 mothers with PND are still depressed when their child is one-year-old. Depression can affect your relationship with your baby and partner. It can also affect your child's development. So the shorter it last, the better.
Talking helps. Your GP can refer you for counselling. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps you to see how some of your ways of thinking and behaving may be making you depressed. Other therapies can help you understand the depression in terms of what has happened to you in the past.
These may help if your depression is severe or not improving. There are several types of antidepressants. They all work equally well, but have different side-effects. They are not addictive. They can all be used in PND, but some are safer than others if you are breastfeeding.
Antidepressants take at least 2 weeks to start working. You need to take them for around 6 months after you start to feel better.
Hormones probably don't work well and they may have their own dangers, particularly if you have had thrombosis (blood clots in the veins).
St John's Wort is a herbal remedy. There is evidence that it is effective in mild to moderate depression. There is not enough information to say that it is definitely safe in breastfeeding.
St John's Wort can interact with other medicines. Check with your doctor before you take it. This is very important if you are taking the oral contraceptive pill. St John's Wort might stop your pill working. This can lead to an unplanned pregnancy.
FINALLY, even if you have been depressed for a while, support, counselling and medication can all help. It's never too late.

One For The Books: Petrie Puts Blazers On Map - By Wayne Thompson Transcribed By Aaron Grossman Yet among Portland's 21 wins that season were two remarkable performances by the very first Trail Blazer – Geoff Petrie. All he did was scorch the Houston Rockets for a club-record 51 points – not once, but twice. No other Blazer in the 18 seasons since has equaled Petrie's single-game scoring mark. Arguably the finest long-distance jump shooter in the history of the franchise, Petrie, in those two games, connected on 38 of 63 field goals (60.3 percent) and 26 of 30 free throws. Indeed, had the three-point field goal rule been applied, Petrie's point total that night most likely would have been 59. At least eight of his 19 field goals, I recall, were scored from very long range, though no one was measuring distances then. "The only thing I can remember about that game is that Mike Newlin said afterwards that I would never do it again against them," Petrie said. Petrie's overall performance in this one-sided rout of the Rockets was arguably better than the first one. He connected on 19 field goals again, but this time only needed 28 shots to get them. He added 13 of 16 free throws, four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 40 minutes. So much for boasts. In the Houston locker room, a disheartened Newlin, his homecoming spoiled, gave Petrie his dues: "He was uncanny. I don't even pretend that I can stop a great shooter like Geoff cold."
One For The Books: Career Game For "Duck" Carries Blazers - By Wayne Thompson Transcribed By Aaron Grossman What's a 'Duck' worth?" That question was shouted at the seven-foot Duckworth often. The comment usually came from front-row wise guys in arenas hostile to the winning Blazers. But on a Sunday night in May of 1991, Duckworth had the last word in the fourth game of a Western Conference semifinal playoff series against Portland's perennial playoff rival – the Utah Jazz. He answered his harassers by scoring 30 points and hauling in 11 rebounds to lead the Blazers to a surprising 104-101 victory. He did all of this, despite playing with a very bad cold. Finally, when Jerome Kersey fed Duckworth for a dunk midway through the third quarter, putting the Trail Blazers ahead by 13 points, the Portland center glanced at the Jazz fan as he ran down the court. "I gave him a little wink. That's usually not my nature, but that time, I couldn't resist," Duckworth said. Five times in one crucial stretch, when a scoreless Portland possession might have been the beginning of the end, Duckworth put the Blazers back ahead. His baseline jumper made it 86-85. His little flip after a spin move away from 7-foot-4 Mark Eaton made it 88-87. His two free throws made it 96-95. Another baseline jumper made it 98-97. Two more free throws made it 100-99. "I was into the flow of the game, and I didn't really think about it," Duckworth said afterwards. "I just got the ball and I shot it. It was as simple as that. Rick (Adelman) ran some plays for me, isolated for me. I was able to get some easy shots." On this the last-ever game played at the famed Salt Lake City Palace – May 12, 1991 – Kevin Duckworth showed Jazz fans and critics everywhere just exactly what a 'Duck' was worth.

Posted By Zippy D. Dudah on 09/09/2011 5:33 PM Yes, we've seen your opinion twice now. My opinion is exactly the same as mbmurr1's. The clear choice is Petrie, and it's not even close.
