On November 3rd, 2011 marking the 160th Birthday celebration of Charles Dow at the Museum of American Finance, the Market Technicians Association and Educational Foundation invited Jack Schannep, Editor-In-Chief of The Schannep Timing Indicator & TheDowTheory.com Newsletter, to speak on his contribution to the Evolution of The Dow Theory. Having been quoted as "one of the best performing market timing systems" by Market Watch's Mark Hulbert and ranked first amongst 60 currently active market timing experts by CXO Advisory Group, Schannep explained the evolutionary nature of the study of the Dow Theory. Including his own contributions to the fundamentals of the market timing indicator he was able to show that a 14.07% annualized return would have been obtained versus the 11.87% realized from the traditional Dow Theory. Both, of course, beat the Buy and Hold return of 10.44% since 1953.
Schannep's argument, made popular through both his book, The Dow Theory For The 21st century, and TheDowTheory. Com's newsletter, is that Robert Rhea, one of the initial interpreters of Charles Dow's writings, was correct in saying that "the usefulness of the Dow Theory improves with age." That is, the fundamentals of the theory stay the same, however, with a faster market and more data available, there are certain advantages we have 80 years later. To find out how you can improve your investment results and find some guidance and "sanity during these insane times" as one of our readers put it, please read the text of the speech for yourself and subscribe to TheDowTheory.com newsletter today!
Presentation at the 160th Birthday Celebration of Charles Dow at the Museum of American Finance in New York City

Schannep Timing Indicator & TheDowTheory.com
Author, Dow Theory for the 21st Century
Thank you Phil Roth for that nice introduction, and especially for inviting me to be a part of today's program; it is a real honor to be able to participate in this celebration of Charles Dow's 160th birthday. My daughter asked me why I had been invited and I told her 'because Charles couldn't make it', but we'll hear from him shortly. I started my book with this classic quote from Charles Dow and think it should be recited again as it is the very essence of Dow's Theory: "A person watching the tide coming in and who wishes to know the exact spot which marks the high tide, sets a stick in the sand at the points reached by the incoming waves until the stick reaches a position where the waves do not come up to it, and finally recede enough to show that the tide has turned. This method holds good in watching and determining the flood tide of the stock market". As you know from Robert Colby's previous presentation, the record of the traditional Dow Theory has been very impressive. It has become the benchmark against which all other market timing has had to compete. Many have tried to improve on the Dow Theory's results, and I am but one of the latest, and today I'll briefly describe my efforts to add value to the original Dow Theory for the 21st Century. Robert Rhea in his The Dow Theory wrote in 1932 the "the usefulness of the Dow Theory improves with age. Certainly a more comprehensive study of the subject is possible with a 35-year record before us than when Dow worked with the figures of only a few years, while those who use it 20 years from now will have a greater advantage than we now enjoy." And now we're 80 years later, so we have an even greater advantage.
In my book Dow Theory for the 21st Century, Technical Indicators for Improving Your Investment Results, I illustrate several improvementswithin the framework of Charles Dow's original thoughts and premises that would have increased the performance of the traditional "Dow's Theory" over the last 50+ years. The first improvement I added was to begin buying during "capitulation", a word Charles Dow never utteredbut he clearly alluded to with his discussion of the final phase of bear markets when he described "distress selling of sound securities, regardless of their value….." Our previous speaker, Robert Colby has described it as the "Disgust" phase. Robert Rhea in his 1932 classic book, The Dow Theory, described it as "a semi-panic collapse (and) it is wise to cover short position and even perhaps make commitments for long account". There have only been 15 occasions over the past 50+ years when Capitulation, as we measure and identify it, has occurred and each time a Dow Theory Buy signal has followed, about 4 months later, on average. I say "we" here because my son Bart is co-editor with me on our Market Letter, the "Schannep Timing Indicator & TheDowTheory.com Newsletter". And, if I may brag, Bart was chosen as one of the 10 Outstanding Advisors in 2010 by Registered Rep Magazine, so I feel the future of our Newsletter will be in good hands. Meanwhile, back to capitulation: One half of those 15 times occurred within a day or two of the Bear market lows – four were on THE day of the lows. The average was 14 days and 4.6% above the lows; the median was within 3 days and 2% of the lows.
As market technicians I suspect you'll be interested in the details and origin of my Capitulation Indicator. When I was a young broker at Dean Witter in the 1960's they formed a department called COMPARE (COMPuter Assistance to Research). One of the calculations they made back then, and which I have kept up to date since that department went kaput years ago, has to do with a short-term oscillator which measures the percent of divergence between the three major stock market indices (DJIA, S&P500, and the NYSE Composite), and their time-weighted moving averages. When all three indices are simultaneously in double digits below those respective moving averages, we have Capitulation. Those 15 dates, market levels, and the subsequent returns over various timeframes are shown below. You'll see that the end of the last 8 bear markets were signaled, and 3 of the 7 before that. Some bear markets end, however, with a whimper, hence no Capitulation indication.

The new Jakarta governor against the triad of dark forces
Publication Date : 09-10-2012
The biggest prize in Jakarta politics has been captured by the charm of sheer ordinariness. The reason for this spell is unmistakable: Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is the antithesis to the present political class both at national and local levels. Being an antithesis is not, of course, what principally makes good leadership. But his golden triumph deserves to be cherished even if it has not changed an iota of Jakarta.
What made his electoral rise unstoppable? It was sheer ordinariness as political cachet. Red-and-blue checked shirts as his distinguishing outfit, cool in bodily gait, charming in his simplicity and humble in manner, Jokowi fits the bill. Graced with a running-mate for deputy governor, Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama, whose persona defies sectarian prejudices, makes the win acquire a patina of unreality.
Now that they have officially been declared governor and deputy governor of Jakarta, the struggle for the real begins in earnest. Precisely because the victory was so luminous, we must be prepared to bear a certain degree of disenchantment. This precariousness comes less from the personal qualities of the two new leaders than from their being subverted by a triad of dark forces.
First, the forces of capital that have overrun even the noblest ideas of Jakarta's city planning. This can easily be observed from the way Jakarta's green areas have been destroyed by real-estate developers, civic spaces by mega-shopping malls and commercial centres, and the need for public transportation systems thwarted by automotive and oil industries. It is worth emphasising that the problem is not capital itself; indeed, we need more for urban infrastructure development.
Rather, the problem is the capture of urban policy by the forces of unbridled capital. The chaotic nature of Jakarta's development during the past few decades makes it clear that the future of the city cannot be entrusted to the invisible hands of the market or left in the hands of unscrupulous business groups. Again, we know only too well that the issue is not law but, rather, the capture of the legal apparatus by the power of the purse. Even if the dictate of money can be curbed by legal fiat, it is no longer a secret that big business powers in Jakarta have formed a frightening underworld with their own mercenaries and gangsters. All this will haunt the new Jakarta governor from the start.
Second is the imminent prospect of reprisals by defeated political parties. Jokowi's win has no doubt introduced a new calculus among the losing political parties, including the ruling Democratic Party and its coalition members the Golkar Party, the Prosperous Justice Party and the United Development Party, which between them account for the majority of seats in the Jakarta City Council. The fact that the PKS was in the losing coalition, for instance, does not necessarily mean it will oppose Jokowi's programmes. But we must be prepared for the possibility of sabotage via legislative manoeuverings by these parties in the council.
It is to be hoped that the overwhelming support for Jokowi during the electoral process is cultivated into some sort of people power. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some grave moments when Jokowi's struggle for Jakarta's common good forces him into a showdown with political cabals on the City Council. At such critical moments, some sort of people power should be called upon to safeguard the governor's policies from being thwarted by these legislative cabals; in a similar way to how ordinary civilians instantly flocked to defend the integrity of the Corruption Eradication Commission from the acts perpetrated by desperados from the National Police on Oct. 5.
Third is the barbarous tribalism of religious bigots. Only another bigot would deny that the growing incivility in Jakarta was not connected, among other things, with the ubiquity of religious bigotry. Of course, religious bigotry is a matter of degree. While the overall climate of religious fanaticism has clearly increased, particular attention needs to be paid to the types of religious bigots that seek to take over Jakarta with their marauding violence and rampages.
These religious bigots not only augur ill for a more intolerant Indonesia but they could also frustrate the new governor in developing Jakarta to become a suave, law-abiding and civilised place. With the country's President still muted over the virulent growth of religious bigotry, which is right under his nose in Jakarta, the new governor will be forced to prevent the country's capital from being ruled by religious zealots. Religious zealots never make good citizens.
No doubt, there are many factors that will shape the successes and failures of the new governor. Some of his good programmes won't be achievable if they are too fanciful from the start, while others will be accomplished only with dogged determination. But I bet that this triad of dark forces will be the principal stumbling blocks for Jakarta's new leadership.
Indeed, a few months ago Jakarta was dazzled and besotted with a non-Jakartan called Jokowi. It was through infatuation with sheer ordinariness that he was luminously catapulted into the political inner sanctum of Jakarta. Infatuation is always the triumph of fantasy over reality; now is the moment for him and his deputy, as much as for Jakartans themselves, to descend from nirvana.
It is this struggle for the real that will make them the sort of leaders who come along once or twice in a century. Or, they will simply slip into becoming random passersby, dumbfounded by Jakarta's perpetual ambivalence between elegance and decadence.

Prep Notebook: Daniel thriving on shutout feasts
The beast is being fed pretty well these days.
Over the last three weeks, D.W. Daniel has posted three shutouts, a first under coach Randy Robinson, and the Lions' defense has developed a source of pride in the feat.
"They're still kids at heart and they had a great time," Robinson said.
A week after a 23-0 win over Westside, Daniel defensive players feasted once again with a 43-0 rout of Southside.
It was last week's 33-0 blanking over rival Pendleton that has Daniel (4-1) thriving headed into Western 3A play this week against Walhalla (3-2) and its option attack.
Pendleton's double-wing rushing attack managed just 114 yards. And when forced to throw, the Bulldogs tossed two interceptions capped by linebacker D.J. Greenlee's 35-yard pick-6.
Players are already asking their coaches if four in a row is a realistic goal.
"The defensive coaches are going broke in this situation," Robinson joked.
While the Lions' reputation as a stingy defense is getting around, Robinson is worried that the word "dirty" is being attached to it.
During the Pendleton game, an official told Robinson he hoped Daniel would play a "clean" game.
Earlier this season, Daniel and Westside were involved in a few extracurricular activities that resulted in flags. And Robinson and Bulldogs coach Paul Sutherland were involved in a shouting match at the end of last season's game.
Despite a few mishaps, Robinson didn't understand why an official would make such a remark.
"I wish I knew the answer to that," Robinson said. "I was kind of surprised. I don't exactly know what's going on sometimes. I'm not really in the loop as far as the inner-workings (of officials)."
"We teach the game fundamentally sound just like everybody else does around here. I don't know any other coaches that would teach it any other way."
West-Oak coach Jay Brannon couldn't believe his eyes as his team started practice last week in preparation for a Week 5 game against Crescent. The Warriors didn't look like an 0-4 team.
"That's the kind of attitude you have to have to turn it around," Brannon said.
West-Oak (1-4) took the first step with a 28-14 win over Crescent last week, a much-needed outcome as region play gets into full swing this week.
"From a confidence standpoint it was important in that they put in the work and had some opportunities ... and it didn't happen," said Brannon, whose team should be in a fight for the final playoff spot with Pickens and Walhalla.
But last week the Warriors executed its option game consistently and gave a few glimpses of an offense that had such high expectations in the preseason.
Brannon also noted the offensive line has started to recognize different defensive fronts and made the necessary blocking adjustments. It resulted in 158 rushing yards and three touchdowns for junior Dustin Wilkes.
With a trip to Belton-Honea Path this week, Brannon will see just how far his team has come.
"Going to have to play best game of the year to have a chance in this one," Brannon said.
During it's 12-1 season last year, Belton-Honea Path could never make the jump to No. 1. It took just six weeks this season.
B-HP (5-0) survived a 25-22 battle with Clinton and benefitted from Myrtle Beach and South Pointe losses to Class 4A teams to take over the top spot in this week's S.C. Media Poll released Tuesday.
Myrtle Beach, which hadn't lost since Week 2 of last season, had it's 17-game winning streak snapped in a 21-12 loss to Conway. Meanwhile, South Pointe lost to Spartanburg, 30-21.
Off to its best start since 1980, undefeated Liberty (5-0) couldn't crack the 2A poll despite wins over Christ Church and Landrum, both of which were ranked in the top-10 of the 1A poll at some point this season.
Running back Will Gay and right guard Matt Aleruchi both returned to practice this week for T.L. Hanna (1-4) just in time for its first region game with Woodmont.
Gay, who has rushed for just under 700 yards this season, was kept out of last week's 63-6 loss to Byrnes with a shoulder injury and other ailments, but returned to practice Monday.
Aleruchi (concussion) was back at practice for non-contact drills Tuesday.

First, while going to pick up my granddaughter from her bus stop, I saw the aftermath of a car/motorcycle accident on Leonard near 152nd. Hopefully, those injuries are not too serious and the motorcycle rider recovers. The car driver was clearly at fault and was simply not paying attention.
Next, at the bus stop, a small blue car passed the stopped bus that was letting out kids on Leonard. The red lights were flashing and this clown just chose to ignore them. I can only hope the buses in this district have cameras so these people can be prosecuted.
Third, while going back to M-104 along Lake Street, a bicyclist was crossing M-104 in the lane approaching traffic. Bicyclists must be in the same lane as traffic, not in the lane facing traffic. Don't they teach this stuff anymore? By some recent letters to the editor and the responses on the Tribune's website, apparently not.
Finally, and the topper of the day, was while coming back from Orchard Market west on M-104 at Lake again, I needed to turn south on Lake. I entered the left-turn lane, and a woman in an SUV traveling east on M-104 decided to turn into RiteAid or the bakery (they share a common entrance). She proceeded to cross the double yellow line and park in the westbound left-turn lane to wait for traffic to clear. The problem was that she was now in front of me in my legally acquired left-turn lane and blocking all turning traffic, and is pretty heavy there. She refused to go around, so I was forced to re-enter, moving traffic to go around her and get back into my lane.
Double yellow lines mean something: do not cross. If there is a double yellow, you must turn from the lane you are in, not enter the turn lane for opposing traffic.

Best wishes to Ms. Marilyn Louie in her quest to keep her Chinatown newsstand open after 35 years. Both the New York City Department of Transportation and Department of Consumer Affairs want to shut down the newsstand because it is three inches too close to the building it faces. The continued demise of newsstands is bad news for newspapers. In the 1960s, NYC was blessed with over 12 daily newspapers sold at hundreds of neighborhood newsstands.
Excessive regulations such as these have contributed to the reduction in newsstands over past decades.
How fortunate we are to be living in one of the few remaining free societies, with a wealth of information sources available for any citizen to gain access.
Today, there continues to be an ongoing circulation battle between the New York Post along with the Times and Daily News in New York City. They face competition from other daily newspapers such as Newsday, Staten Island Advance, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. Many of these papers count on sales by local newsstands. These same newsstands provide gainful employment for hundreds of operators along with distributors. Newsstands generate sales taxes which help support municipal services. They also provide eyes and ears in keeping the neighborhood safe. Most owners and employees are our neighbors. They contribute to NYC and pay taxes just like you and the rest of us.
No wonder there are so few newsstands when any potential investor has to run the gauntlet between the Departments of Transportation, Consumer Affairs, Landmarks Preservation Commission and Arts Commission.
In the marketplace of ideas, let us hope there continues to be room for everyone including our neighborhood local newsstands.

High surf advisory posted for north, west shores
Advisory up until 6 p.m. Friday
The National Weather Service has posted a high surf advisory for most north and west facing shores across the state Wednesday.
The advisory will remain in effect until 6 p.m. Friday.
Forecasters say waves on north shores will be rising to 16-to-22-feet-high Wednesday night and Thursday. Surf on west facing shores will increase to 12-to-16-feet-tall.
On the Kona and Kohala coasts on the Big Island, surf will rise to 6-to-8-feet-tall on Thursday.
Large breaking surf and significant shore break and dangerous currents could make entering the water very dangerous. Boaters should be aware of an increased number of surfers and body boarders utilizing harbor channels to access surfing areas.

Stargate Altantis' season 4 catches a Firefly
Spoilers about Staite's character and Season 4 after the jump.
Sci Fi Wire reports that Jewel Staite will play doctor Jennifer Keller, who is rumored to maybe get involved with one of the men and is said to become best buds with Samantha Carter. (For those who didn't know, SG-1's Amanda Tapping is joining Altantis.)
The article gives us a few spoilers about the upcoming season:
- Samantha Carter's move from SG-1 to Atlantis will not be easy. Fans may remember that Carter and McKay have a past. Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi tells Sci Fi Wire that there will be friction between the two characters but that they will try to be adults about it.
- McKay's interest in Carter will be dealt with in the beginning of the season.
- When Carter arrives expect her to go in military mode, especially since she'll outrank Lt. Col. Sheppard. [Edited to add: Carter will be full Col. when she joins Atlantis.]
- Mallozzi reveals that "each of the characters will have a story in the front half." He also adds that the series will be exploring more of the Replicators and that fans will learn more about the Wraith.

South Africa's employment base needs to be expanded substantially to boost the tax revenue universe, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said on Monday
The minister's comments came amid rising concerns that South Africa was growing an unsustainable base of social welfare beneficiaries while the productive tax base was not growing fast enough. The number of people on social grants has exploded to around 15 million while the number of employed hovers around 13.7 million.
A senior economist at Efficient Group, Merina Willemse, said it was ideal to expand employment because that is the only solution for the country's problems. She added that government tended to focus more on spending and less on revenue.
Gordhan said more than 40 million consumers in South Africa make a contribution to the fiscus through various taxes – be it income tax on earnings, capital gains, the fuel levy or VAT, but the reality was the productive tax base was not wide enough.
He said although the fiscal strength and stability has been growing each year, increasing from R114bn in 1994 to over R742.7bn last year, the country needed to show strong growth in employment to boost its tax revenue.
The minister said there were 13.7 million South Africans employed and registered for tax, but many in this group do not pay tax because of being under the tax threshold. "We need more business operations in this country and more producers, more jobs in order to create more taxpayers."
He said this season the government was expecting a revenue collection of about R827.3bn and R927bn in 2013. While observers have raised fiscal sustainability concerns, Gordhan said South Africa's debt load was still better compared to other countries despite the R60bn loss in revenue in the 2009 recession yet to be recovered.
The minister urged South Africans to try to live within their means in light of the worsening debt crisis in Europe.
He added that fiscal strength will still play a vital role in sustaining government targets and in growing the economy in general. "Complaints of lack
of money to render services to the people must not be
an excuse, taking into account that the government will make sure that it funds good projects which will benefit all South Africans."
He said the national treasury was prepared to find money for good projects and would guide the government on whether public money was used effectively.

I blame O'Brien. Quite apart from the dark plot turns, "Downton Abbey" has lost some of its soapy fizz this season, and the aimless life of under-butler Thomas Barrow without his scheming partner, Mrs. O'Brien, is emblematic of the greater drift.
Thomas seems to be doing nothing this season except wandering alone, up and down stairs, through empty rooms, spreading weak lies and eavesdropping to little effect. Without O'Brien to conspire with, he seems lost, and the show with him.

Why It's Great to Be a Girl.
It's a tough time to be a girl?
No, it's a great time to be a girl.
I was delighted to see this eight-year-old girl's list on Reddit. We get a little bogged down in these back and forth "adult" discussions of masculine and feminine and who has it harder, who needs to change. Maybe it's time to get back to basics and appreciate ourselves—and each other.
In 27 years, I will be expecting her name as an option on the ballot to vote for President.
If my girls have half her passion and confidence then I'd be a happy dad…good on her!

This is so great! Thanks for sharing!
This list is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Its going on my fridge! and I want the t-shirt. Reading that list makes me think girls have magical powers…I mean, I see women give birth daily..so I kinda KNOW that girls have magical powers. I adore that an 8 year old thinks the items on the list make girls great.
Yay! Love this! Being a girl is awesome, isn't it?

She was wearing her favorite Halloween sweater (yes, in January) underneath her favorite tie-dyed tutu dress. She's two years old and wears whatever she wants. Frankly, I let her choose her own clothes because I don't have the energy to argue with her about what to wear, especially since she changes outfits more times in a day than I can count. Hey, she's a girl, that's what we do…right? […]

Gov. hopes to raise millions to fight crime by putting cameras on interstates
Posted By admin On August 7, 2008 @ 11:14 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Police State | Comments Disabled
Chicago Sun-Times
August 7, 2008
To make good on his offer to help Chicago combat violence, Gov. Blagojevich envisions putting speed cameras on interstates across Illinois — and using the revenue to form an "elite tactical team" that would operate in Chicago and other cities.
The idea is in its infancy, with no budget and no timetable.
But the governor also is providing Chicago with immediate assistance, said Lucio Guerrero, a spokesman for the governor.
About 50 Illinois State Police employees have been assigned to work with Chicago Police on everything from tracking down illegal gun buyers to hunting for criminals on Chicago's expressways, Guerrero said.

Proof of Prophecy / The prophecy of Ezra and the bleeding trees« on: June 11, 2013, 02:45:35 AM »
2 Esdras 3-14 (4 Esdras) is an apocalyptic work written by Jews around 100 CE. This section is comprised of three separate dialogues (3:1-5:20; 5:21-6:34; 6:35-9:25). Ezra, as a scribe, raises various theological questions that are answered by the angel Uriel. These basically have to do with the end times and the signs that will accompany "the age to come."
Apocrypha: 2 Esdras Chapter 5
1 Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.
2 But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago.
3 And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.
4 But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day:
5 And blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled:
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. Ex:7v20.

I took everyone's advice to heart. It has been raining for several days here. I had to move my mare into a barn stall because some of her paddock washed out and they have to wait for it to dry before they can fix it.
Yesterday the ring was just dry enough to let her get some of her energy out, but not safe enough to ride in just yet. After letting her burn off some steam, I took her out on the trail hand walking.
At first she tried to suck back and a few pops on the butt and she learned that she had to walk with me at my pace. (should have seen her eyes when that lead rope popped her on the butt )
When we turned to head back, she was able to walk nicely on a loose lead with no jigging. So hopefully this will translate to saddle. I think it will. She just had never been off this particular property. So I think she was worried. As long as our weather holds I will do this everyday.
Thanks for all the great advice everyone.

I have sent my request, but never receive any reply or response from you.
Is this for real? It has been over a month now since I filled up the request form.
Thought if you cannot accommodate, a simple email would be nice, you know.
Hi, Ashraf.
I just tried your link to rationalworks.net and it's dead. I guess you're not providing free web design anymore?
FWIW, I'm the one on GOTD several months ago that showed you how to put FTP links into Windows Explorer so you can drag-n-drop updated files right into a web site. I want you to know that your reviews and all the effort that goes into them are appreciated. I am sure some don't appreciate how much effort it takes.

wHAT A GREAT GUY…nO WONDER YOUR BUSY
I am over the hilh, going down the other side fast at 73, but before I go, I wanted to start a free service.
Started the web page 1to1help.org, but so far have not been able to put a free guest book on it or get a link to work to a guest book.
Well anyway it is a free ride for those who live alone,can't drive,etc. Living outside a city w/little or no bus service to next town,is a killer.
Mill Bay is 20 miles North of Victoria BC, Canada, Never mind all this crap.
CAN YOU HELP ME? Make a web site that works for me,I'm hosted at name.com I think?
Keep up the good work you do for others.

Hi Ashraf,
Looks like your free web design service site is down. Do you plan to have this up again at some point in the future?

Ireland Baldwin sure is making a splash in the modeling industry. The 17-year-old daughter of Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin signed with IMG back in March, and has just landed a major spread … in the New York Post. Yep, the Post.
In her spread, the newly-minted model flaunts her bikini bod aboard a boat that made its way around the New York Harbor. Not to make a dig at the newspaper or anything, but couldn't Ireland's agents at IMG have helped her land a bigger and better debut?
Well, according to Ireland, making it into the pages of the newspaper was quite the intentional move. Her dad (you know, Alec) had a run-in with a Post photographer back in February, and seeing how there's been a bit of bad blood in their father-daughter relationship, this spread is like giving her dad the bird.
In her own words:
"You know, he has his own agenda and I have my own. I think he's very outspoken and he has his opinions, and he's him and I'm me, and I know he's done things that he regrets himself and that he's sorry for, but you know, the past is the past."
Or is it?
See the spread over here, and learn more about her in the video below.

Oct. 4, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. -- Freshman newcomer Brett Pinfold had an impressive showing in the Badgers first meet of the season as the Wisconsin swimming and diving teams battled perennial national power, Georgia.
The men's squad trailed 130-54, while the reigning NCAA champion Lady Bulldogs picked up a 129-55 lead over the Badger women.
"I thought we did a really good job today," UW head coach Whitney L. Hite said. "You have to realize you're competing against the best."
In his first meet as a Badger, Pinfold dominated with an 18-point individual performance for the men's squad. He topped the charts in the 50 (20.74) and 200-yard freestyle (1:38.68) events, placing first in both events for the men's squad. Pinfold also raced the anchor leg of UW's second place finishes in the 200 and 800-yard freestyle relays.
The Badgers also placed second in the 200-yard medley relay.
Aside from the relays, three juniors captured second-place finishes to round out the men's top performances, with Drew teDuits in the 200-yard backstroke (1:46.65), Nick Caldwell in the 500-yard free (4:27.82) and Nicholas Schafer in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:01.87)
"The men's team is a top ten team; they're good," Hite said, "They've got some superstars and so for us I thought it was a great opportunity to see how we measure up."
On the women's end, the Badgers garnered a pair of wins from juniors Aja Van Hout in the 200-yard individual medley (2:02.39) and Ivy Martin in the 50-yard freestyle (22.38). Martin also helped race for second-place finishes in the 200-yard medley (1:43.39) and 200-yard free (1:32.54) relays. Sophomore Anna Menholz rounded out the women's top performances, coming in second in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:19.00).
"The women's team at Georgia is the best, they're defending national champions and they've been the dominant team during the last fifteen years in the NCAA," Hite added. "For us to measure ourselves against the highest is a good thing and I thought that we competed well."
"We've got a good team and there is potential to be better. We will get better but I also know that we're not at that level yet. Fortunately we've got time. But to come here and compete, we did a nice job."
The meet will continue against Georgia on Saturday, with diving competition starting at 9 a.m. CT.

The Association of Institutions of Jewish Studies (AIJS) is an accrediting agency with a voluntary membership of postsecondary institutions specializing in Jewish Studies and related disciplines, dedicated to fostering quality and integrity within the institution and in its relationships with its stakeholders.
The earliest discussions leading to the creation of AIJS date back to 2000, when a number of interested institutions met to discuss forming an organization to facilitate the growth and quality of institutions offering a core of Jewish Studies by conducting comprehensive and systematic evaluations of institutions and subsequently granting accreditation to those institutions that meet the organization's standards.
Institutions interested in AIJS accreditation would be those offering a core of advanced Jewish Studies which could include substantial coursework in Jewish history, religion, law, literature, languages and culture with a scope that includes certificates, diplomas and degrees of Associate and Bachelor of Arts. Institutions accredited by AIJS are required to meet and maintain high standards of faculty qualifications, student retention and outcomes.
AIJS will be submitting a petition to the US Department of Education for recognition as an accrediting agency.

BERKELEY LAKE -- City engineer Rich Edinger updated Mayor Lois Salter and city council members on Lake Berkeley dam improvements Thursday evening. According to Edinger, negotiations with the contractor and Gwinnett County will yield about $66,000 in savings to the city.
Salter added Thursday that, in any matter in which the federal government is funding a project over $1 million, the project has to be announced by Congress before funds released to the municipality. She estimated another 2-month wait before that happens and the city receives funds for the dam repair.
"It's painful, but we are plodding through the process," Salter said.
Berkeley Lake Homeowner Randy Johnson, who owns a home on the lake, asked Salter why voters were presented with the choice in March of approving a $3.2 million bond referendum if they would be waiting for FEMA to fund the majority of the repairs. Salter answered that in March, city leaders did not know that FEMA would be contributing more money than originally committed to the city.
Berkeley Lake will be responsible for about 15 percent of the cost to repair the dam, according to Salter.15 properties annexedFifteen residential properties along Bush Road and Habersham Lane were annexed into the city during Thursday night's council meeting.

Welcome to Geeklog Wednesday, October 07 2015 @ 06:04 AM EDT
The official release version of Geeklog 1.4.1 is now available for download. To recap the new features:
With this release, we're also saying goodbye to the year 2006 as well as the Geeklog 1.3.x branch, for which support has now ended. Geeklog 1.4.1 is a recommended upgrade for all users of previous versions.
Those upgrading from Geeklog 1.4.1rc1 will find a list of all the changed files in the file changed-files in the docs directory. In case you're upgrading from beta 1 or 2, we suggest you replace all of the files.
There were no database changes over the betas or rc1, so there's no need to run the install script again. One theme change that we'd like to point out is for the file preferences/profile.thtml where the input fields for the user's location and homepage were accidentally restricted to 32 characters each. If you're using the Professional theme or a theme based on the 1.4.1 version of the Professional theme, please make sure to pick up this fix.
When upgrading from an earlier version (1.4.0 or 1.3.x), simply follow the upgrading instructions. Please note that there were a lot of theme changes that you may have to apply in case you're using a customized theme. Updated themes for Geeklog 1.4.1 should shortly be available from the usual places, e.g. www.geekdownloads.net

A new Danish study [1] suggests a possible connection between mothers' use of paracetamol painkillers during pregnancy and the risk of developing disorders like ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in children.
The Danish Health Authority does not find that the research data call for an immediate change of the recommendations for use of painkillers during pregnancy.
The Danish Health Authority and the European drug regulatory authorities are currently assessing the safety of paracetamol use during pregnancy, and the results of the new Danish study will form part of the analysis together with the other knowledge in the area.
The cohort study involved 64,000 pregnant women from the Danish National Birth Cohort during 1996-2002. The results showed that children whose mothers used paracetamol during pregnancy were at a slightly higher risk of receiving a diagnosis of hyperkinetic disorders like ADHD, using ADHD medications, or having ADHD-like behaviours at the age of 7. Higher risk was observed, the longer the mother had used paracetamol during pregnancy.
The Danish study is a major and well-designed study, but due to the limitations of this type of study, it is not possible to make conclusions about the actual connection or whether other factors in women than the use of paracetamol during pregnancy may have influenced the results.

Charles Couch was a college student who also held a job with Cambrian Homecare of Long Beach, Calif., where he helped chaperone a boy with Prader-Willi Syndrome – a rare disorder that results in mental retardation and arrested sexual development. One day in 2012, he and the boy were at the beach in Manhattan Beach when the child needed to use the restroom at a nearby public toilet.
But Manhattan Beach cops were there ahead of them, on the prowl as part of a sting operation to target would-be sexual predators who prey on kids in public bathrooms. The cops had no prior knowledge of Couch, or that he would be visiting the beach that day with the disabled child.
After the child spent a long time in the bathroom (the product of another of Prader-Willi's many symptoms), he came outside and whispered to Couch, "There is a man looking at me in the stall!"
Couch understandably decided it was time to put as much distance between his charge and the strange man in the bathroom as possible. So he tried to leave with the child. Instead he was tackled, cuffed and taken to jail. That "strange man," of course, turned out to be a cop.
Under questioning, Couch was "accused of being sexually interested in other men, and asked if he would take his own little brother to a party to get 'laid.'"
At least that's what Couch is now alleging in a $5 million Federal lawsuit against the Manhattan Beach Police Department, its chief of police, and five detectives. The complaint alleges Couch was falsely arrested and subjected to unreasonable search and seizure and discrimination.
To top it off, the police department evidently had no compunction about disseminating Couch's picture to the media – even though he was never charged with a crime. About a month after the incident, Couch saw his own picture, accompanied by his name, in a local newspaper with a circulation of 70,000 readers. His name and picture were on the Internet. He appeared as a sex offender to strangers who knew nothing of the truth. He quit school because the cops confiscated his laptop computer – the one he used for academics – in a fruitless search for child porn.
The suit seeks damages for violation of Couch's 4th and 14th Amendment rights, as well as punitive damages for allegations of perjury against one of the accusing officers.

Suspect shooting in Eloy under investigation
PHOENIX — Authorities are investigating a fatal shooting of a suspect who
police say had stolen a car then led them on a chase that ended in his death.
Manuel Longoria, 40, died Jan. 14 after being shot twice by a Pinal County
Sheriff's deputy in Eloy.
The investigation into the shooting is being handled by the Pinal County
Sheriff's Office with help from the Eloy Police Department, sheriff's spokesman
Tim Gaffney said Thursday.
While Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and Eloy police have said the shooting
was justified, the case will eventually be handed over to the Pinal County
Attorney's Office for a final determination.
Longoria stole a car and then led police on a 45-minute chase before he was
stopped in an Eloy neighborhood and surrounded by deputies and police with guns
drawn, authorities said.
"The guy was yelling out the window that he had a gun and was not going to be
taken alive," Gaffney said. "When he got out of the vehicle, he refused to
comply" with officers' commands to surrender.
Video taken by a witness and provided to several media outlets, including
KPHO-TV, shows Longoria standing outside the vehicle surrounded by police
pointing guns at him and yelling for him to surrender. Officers then can be seen
and heard firing non-lethal bean bag rounds at the man, who at one point appears
to reach for something in the vehicle.
Within seconds, Longoria is seen spinning around with his back to the officers
and throwing his hands in the air above his head. He is almost simultaneously
fatally shot twice by a deputy.
No weapon was found at the scene. Gaffney said authorities are awaiting
toxicology results on the man to determine if he had drugs in his system.
Babeu has said it appeared it was "a case of suicide by cop."
Longoria's girlfriend, however, disputed the allegations.
"He was scared," Lynnette Casey told KPHO. "They say suicide by cop. How is
it he wanted to die if his hands were up? Nobody with their hands up wants to
Gaffney said the video is misleading and that the deputy who fired the fatal
shots was justified, given Longoria's statements that he was armed and wouldn't
be taken alive and his failure to immediately surrender.
"It was instantaneous how it happened," Gaffney said, noting the deputy who
fired thought Longoria might have reached for a gun in the car. "He was fearful
for his safety and fearful for others, so he fired two rounds."
An internal investigation also will be conducted into the car chase after it
was revealed that a sheriff's lieutenant had radioed deputies to back off when
the situation grew dangerous. Gaffney said that review will occur separately
from the investigation into the shooting and has no bearing on whether it was

Thirty years after his first Melbourne Cup win and three days after his 100th Group One triumph, Jim Cassidy is intent on playing yet another starring role at Flemington.
Cassidy rides the Chris Waller-trained Hawkspur in the $6.2 million Melbourne Cup on Tuesday after bringing up a century of Group One wins on Saturday aboard the stayer's stablemate Zoustar in the Coolmore Stud Stakes.
It's 30 years since a fresh-faced Cassidy came from last to win the Melbourne Cup on Kiwi and 16 years since his famous all-the-way win on champion Might And Power.
The jockey earmarked Hawkspur as a Melbourne Cup hope during a successful Queensland winter carnival campaign and insists he wouldn't swap the four-year-old for any other in Tuesday's race.
"I can do it. I can't do it if I'm sitting in jockeys' room," Cassidy said.
"I'm one of the 24 (jockeys in the race) so I'll back my horse's ability and back my ability. I've done that for 30 years so nothing is going to change."
Hawkspur started favourite but finished seventh in the Caulfield Cup and is somewhat of a forgotten horse going into the Melbourne Cup.
Cassidy hasn't lost faith in the Queensland Derby winner who will be stepping up to 3200m for the first time.
He admits there is a question mark over Hawkspur at the distance but believes he can handle it.
"I saw him early last week when I galloped Zoustar and he looks good," Cassidy said.
"He's hard fit and I think he's really ready to run the race of his life.
"He's untried at the trip. His sectionals in the Caulfield Cup were great and probably a furlong after the line he was still full of running so that gave me a lot of confidence going into tomorrow."

PAPILLION, Neb. (KMTV) - A Gretna man accused of shooting and killing his 69-year-old father was found guilty in a Sarpy County courtroom.
Defense attorneys don't deny Steven Braesch shot his father, but they argue it was manslaughter because it occurred during a heated argument.
However, the judge disagreed, calling it a premeditated crime.
"I feel like the judgement was correct. He has no reason to be walking on this earth ever again," says Rich Braesch, the brother of the victim, William Braesch.
Sarpy County Judge Max Kelch found Braesch guilty of first-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony and three counts of negligent child abuse.
"A sense of closure yes, will it go away no," said Rich Braesch.
Authorities say William's son, Steven, was living with his parents who told him he had 30 days to move out, prompting an argument.
Evidence shows Steven shot his father five times, several shots in close range in front of his three little nieces.
"It's always going to be in our head. It's a bad thing all the way around," said Rich Braesch.
Steven's defense argued it was his mental health that caused him to kill his father. The Sarpy County Attorney's Office argued there was no remorse and the intent was deliberate.
Chief Deputy County Attorney Tricia Freeman says, "He left the room. He went downstairs. He grabbed the gun that he knew would be loaded. He came back upstairs and he shot his dad at that point."
A jail phone recording played in court revealed Steven Braesch said he planned to kill his father six months before it happened, but he didn't know how to load a gun.
"Come forward six months and he now knows how to load a gun and he grabbed the only gun in the house he knew to be loaded," says Freeman.
After the verdict, family members crowded outside the courtroom standing with a sense of relief but also pain.
The brother of the victim says William "was the type of guy that he would do anything for you."

Can broken Terra Cotta be repaired? I have a Terra Cotta Sun and a couple of the pieces have broken off. Can they be glued back on?
Maryeileen from Brooklyn, OH
By Maryeileen
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By Leah [12]04/16/2008
I agree with Gorilla Glue working. There's also a neat gel glue put out by Super Glue brand called Loctite. It's in a silver & blue side-squeeze container & can be found at Walmart. I've glue all kinds of things with it, and it's good abot not drying out or getting the lid glued on because of how the bottle dispenser is made.

Katherine Tegtmeyer Pak, New College of the University of South Florida
Summary: The argument I will present is based on research I conducted primarily over a 16 month period beginning in January 1995, which I published under the title "Foreigners are local citizens, too" in a book edited by Mike Douglass and Glenda Roberts, Japan and Global Migration. This paper updates that argument with data I gathered during a short trip back to Japan this past summer. I also want to share some new thoughts I have regarding the consequences of Japanese cities' responses to international migration for Japanese notions of citizenship.
The central premise of my argument is that since international migration unevenly affects particular cities and regions, politicization of immigration will frequently be driven by actors motivated by local conditions and needs. Accordingly, our studies of the politics of migration should look to both center and periphery, to interactions between institutions of local and national governance.
This paper is divided into four sections. I begin by briefly summarizing the new international migration to Japan that began in the 1980s. Next, I introduce the activities engaged in by four Japanese cities in response to that immigration. Third, I make my argument regarding the political sources of these activities. Finally, I discuss the consequences of these policies.

Since last year I have searched the net to find if any designers shared the same vision as I. Thank you my search is over. Now can you do the same with the Audi A4 sport?

2008 Croft Vintage PortBy Marisa D'Vari | January 17th, 2014 | Category: berries black, cherry brandied, Fortified, minerality, oaked, RS, sweet vanilla, tannins high, Wine reviews | No Comments »
Inky, jammy black fruit on the nose and palate, very well balanced with med+ racy acidity, muscular yet supple tannins, and a long finish of crushed blackberries and minerals.
Aromas: violets,blackberries
Other flavors: spice, black currant, cinnamon, nutmeg, loganberries, mission fig (fresh, ripe), black prune (moist, top quality), cassis
How could I know it was a 2003 blind tasting it?
- 2003 was a generally declared vintage year
- well integrated acidity and tannins - rather seamless and cohesive.
- compared to the Fonseca 2008 (not a generally declared vintage year) it tastes less "fresh" and one can see the patina of five additional years aging in terms of its slightly more oxidized (sherried) notes.

University and the working class
Is the culture at some universities deterring working class students?
Finding A levels fairly easy; I was able to manage achieving good grades, with an extra evening course, working in a shop at the weekends and going out a lot. The work load was fine and I was confident in my ability.
Going to university, I was excited. I didn't fear the academic work at all. That was, at least until I arrived. Then my confidence diminished. I remember one of the first people I met was a descendent of William Gladstone, while I came from a steel town.
At one of my first tutorials, I remember a boy pretentiously announcing that he had read every single one of George Orwell's books. I had barely picked up a book since weekly reading was compulsory in primary school. I now recognise that he was probably feeling just as unsure of himself as I and was using this claim to overcompensate for whatever he felt he were lacking. At the time however, I failed to pick up this guise of this, and instead, I feared that everyone else in the room was just as well read as he.
On another occasion, in a tutorial about elitism in politics, the tutor asked all fifteen students to say which class we thought we were, I was one of only two who said 'working class.'
My confidence was decreasing and I was fearing life at university because I was allowing myself to feel inferior to people who had more privileged backgrounds than myself.
Looking back now, only 2 years later, I'm shocked by how easily I allowed myself to question my own ability. After all, we had all gained places on the course due to our A Level grades, so I was just as competent as the others.
My point here, is that going to university, particularly a Russell Group university, known for having a higher percentage of students from both private and grammar schools is a daunting enough experience for anyone who comes from a working class background.
Going from a town where it was uncool to be clever, you were popular for hanging about outside shops drinking under-age and where you gained respect for being cheeky to teachers, it was hard to suddenly acclimatise to a new world – a world where people openly enjoyed reading and other 'geeky' pursuits, where people went skiing regularly, had wine cellars worth more than your average house and whose parents were buddies with the likes of Hugh Grant and Quentin Tarantino.
These privileged students shouldn't feel guilty for what they were born into, and that is certainly not what I am trying to do, I'm merely trying to demonstrate the challenges of going to a 'good' university from a not-so-privileged-background.
As I said, this was two years ago, before the announcement of £9,000 tuition fees. As so many other left leaner's have commented, this will only worsen the problem of elitism in universities. The experience I have discussed is only going to become more common as the 'good' universities become over run by those who don't mind having such high levels of debt. Those from less well off backgrounds, regardless of their ability are likely to choose cheaper universities, which we all know, aren't choosing to charge less than the £9,000 out of moral reasoning, more because they cannot compete with the top universities in the number of experts or rigour, given this, there concede their position and charge less.
What does this mean? A high number of capable students, who, had they been a year or so earlier would have had no financial reasoning behind their applications, and so would have applied to Russell Group universities. Instead, this year they will be seeking universities with lower tuition fees and therefore ending up settling for an old polytechnic, despite their academic ability putting them way beyond this. I am not saying there is anything wrong with an 'old polytechnic' university, what I am saying, is, it is wrong for someone who is academically capable of going to a top university to end up at university which is not challenging enough for them based on the grounds that it is charging less.
The tuition fees are creating a marketplace in which, grades still count to gain acceptance, but, the demographics of those applying will be changing as those from working class backgrounds are put off by the high fees and are therefore weaned out. As the application demographics change, naturally, the demographics of the intake will also change, which is only going to prop up the pompous, middle class culture that I spoke of earlier.
Proponents of the new higher tuition fees will say "but they'll get a loan which they don't have to pay back until they earn over x amount," suggesting that the new fees will not harm those from less well off backgrounds. A) How do they know this? Proponents of the higher tuition fees aren't usually students, they don't have a clue how the students will react and B) nor do they understand the significance of value of £9,000 to someone from a town where the average before tax income is £18,000.
Even if the new higher tuition fees don't have such a damaging effect on those from less well off backgrounds as I fear, and say, many teenagers from working class backgrounds still go on to apply to Russell Groups, and say they do get in, they will undoubtedly still be a minority as I was in the tutorial I spoke of. They will experience the type of pompous attitudes that I have mentioned, which will remain dominant, making the whole process very daunting.
Do we really want capable students being put off by the pompous culture in many of our top universities?
I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten in, by that's besides the point, I purposely chose not to apply to Oxbridge, despite meeting the A level criteria, because I knew I would feel out of place. The issue is partly with myself, I shouldn't have cared about the affluence of the students there, but it's also with the institution of university for allowing such a culture to flourish. I can't help but think that the new higher tuition fees will only worsen this sorry state of pomposity at Britain's top universities.

Portobello & Polenta Potpie
Presented by: Katie McMillan, Tacoma
Cook's Note: This recipe can be made with cubed filet mignon, or dairy-friendly vegetarian style.
serves 4 to 6
- 2 pounds portobello or crimini mushrooms (or your favorites), sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1 pound filet mignon, diced in 1-inch cubes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 1 medium sweet onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 cup cabernet, shiraz or burgundy
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped each fresh thyme and rosemary, plus blooming sprigs for garnish
- freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
- 1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella, sliced or 1 1/2 cups sliced low-moisture mozzarella
- 1 1/2 cups regular polenta
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter
Heat a large sauté pan or skillet, and sear filet mignon in a bit of oil before going on to next step. Reduce heat to medium. The filet is optional.
Add butter to the sauté pan. Over medium heat, sauté onion until golden; add shallot and garlic. Gently stir in mushrooms for 3 minutes or until onions turn golden brown. Add red wine and 11/2 cups hot vegetable stock, scraping bottom of skillet. Add salt and pepper to taste, and minced herbs. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 20 minutes. Pour hot liquid into a large glass measuring cup.
In a large skillet, make a brown butter roux with 3 tablespoons butter, and 3 tablespoons sifted flour. Slowly pour in hot mushroom liquid after the flour has turned beige. Whisk until smooth, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in mushroom mixture and remove from heat.
Preheat oven at 375 degrees.
In a large saucepan, boil 4 cups water, 2 cups vegetable stock, 1/2 tablespoon plain salt, and 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter. Stir polenta into the water gradually with a wooden spoon or spurtle, and boil gently. Stir constantly until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in 1 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese.
Place the mushroom mixture in 6 individual ramekins sprayed with nonstick spray. Add a layer of mozzarella. Heap loose, hot polenta on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan or Romano, and place on a baking sheet. Bake until polenta is golden and mushroom filling bubbles, about 20 minutes.
Garnish with shaved Parmesan or Romano, and fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
