Tanjong Rhu Road
Tanjong Rhu Road begins from the junction of Fort Road and Meyer Road. A convoluted road with a few branches, it ends near the Kallang basin near the Benjamin Sheares Bridge. This road was a marine yard and the centre point of ship building and repairing in Singapore before the shipyard industry moved to Jurong. In the 1980s, the road and its surrounding areas were converted into a residential estate.
Tanjong Rhu Road was named after the Casuarina trees that grew along the coast of Kallang and Rochore. Casuarina trees are known as pokok rhu in Malay, Rhu being the Malay name for the Casuarina littoria variety of the tree. Post-war reclamation and construction work along the east coast resulted in the uprooting of the Casuarina trees. It is unknown when the road was named Tanjong Rhu but the word was in use since the 17th century, as it appeared in E.G. de Eredis's 1604 Map of Singapore as Tanjon Ro. Other roads in the area, which connect to Tanjong Rhu Road, are named after Tanjong Rhu as well, such as Tanjong Rhu Place, Tanjong Rhu View and Tanjong Rhu Cross.
The whole of Tanjong Rhu was designated to be a marine yard by Raffles in 1822. The area from Sandy Point at the tip of the spit to Deep Water Point, where Tanjong Katong currently is, was to be developed as a shipbuilding yard. Chinese settlers who dwelled in this area were compensated for their move-out of Tanjong Rhu. One of the pioneers of shipbuilding business was Captain Flint who set up a company in 1822. By the 1860s, many boatyards were established including those owned by George Lyons, Thorneycroft and United Engineers, and Tivendale. With the development of trade, the shipyard industry in Tanjong Rhu expanded, helped further by the congestion at the Singapore River. All the boatyards there had to be cleared and relocated to Tanjong Rhu. The boatyards' workers soon settled with their families in Tanjong Rhu and formed a village. As small shipbuilders made their debut at Tanjong Rhu, the area became more populated. In the early years, there was a single main road linking the yards to the village. Travelling between the city and East Coast was by ferry that plied between Johnston Pier at Colleyer Quay and Tanjong Rhu as roads linking these two points came up only in the 20th century.
In the 1980s, the yards had to be relocated to Jurong in line with the government's attempt to cleanse the waterways. By this period, massive reclamation projects were undertaken to extend Bedok into Tanah Merah and Changi. A total of seven phases of the East Coast Reclamation project was completed between 1966 and 1985. The Benjamin Sheares Bridge was built in 1981. In 1991, the government announced its plan of converting Tanjong Rhu into a 34 ha residential enclave with recreational facilities. Today, Tanjong Rhu presents itself as an exclusive private residential area boasting the island's most prestigious waterfront condominiums including The Waterside, Tanjong Ria Condo, Water Place, Sanctuary Green, Parkshore and Pebble Bay. Restaurants, recreational facilities and shops have sprung up by the beach as well. A place of historical interest along the road is the Singapore Swimming Club, established in 1893. Opposite the club is the Dunman High School, established in 1956. It moved here from Dunman Road in 1995. Prior to this, the Ee Hoe Hean (Yihexuan) Club, the so-called Millionaires' Club of Singapore used to be situated near the Singapore Swimming Club, within the premises of a house that belonged to the late Tan Lark Sye, a prominent businessman. It was said that fortunes were exchanged at the club's mahjong tables. The club presumably shut down with the death of Tan Lark Sye.
At the time of writing this, the Kallang-Paya Lebar expressway (KPE) is being built. Scheduled to be completed by 2007, this S$1.8 billion expressway will cross under the East Coast Parkway, Tanjong Rhu Road, Geylang River and Pan Island Expressway and join the Tampines Expressway above the ground. Geylang River will be diverted in two stages with dams being built on either side of a bridge.

What is the United Food Bank?
United Food Bank is a 501(c) 3 private nonprofit organization that provides access to nutritious food through community partnerships, food distribution and education in the greater East Valley and Eastern Arizona. As a Regional Food Bank, United Food Bank distributes millions of pounds of food every year, the equivalent of more than 43,000 meals every day to people in need.
Where does the food come from?
United Food Bank receives food from many different sources. Food is donated by individuals and groups, local businesses and grocery stores, as well from larger national food distribution centers with the help of our Feeding America affiliation. We also receive USDA commodities called TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program). In addition, food is donated through the Arizona Gleaning Project, which provides United Food Bank with fresh produce from local farms. United Food Bank also purchases a significant amount of food on our own, through monetary donations and specialized corporate grants.
Where does the food go?
United Food Bank distributes food to over 250 partner social services agencies in our service area for use in their food assistance programs. Our partner agencies consist of food pantries, soup kitchens, mobile pantries, shelters, rehab facilities, children's programs, senior centers, and more. In most cases, United Food Bank is the primary, if not sole, provider of food to these agencies.
In addition to providing food to partner agencies, United Food Bank has five other programs that feed the hungry in the East Valley and Eastern Arizona. These include Kids Cafés, the Backpack Program, Helping Hands, Help Yourself, Food for Thought, and a new pilot program, School Pantries. For more information on these programs, visit the "Programs" page on our website. (link to programs page)
Does the food bank work directly with people in need?
United Food Bank is a Regional Food Bank Warehouse and distribution center and does not provide direct client service, with the exception of our Help Yourself program. We receive large quantities of food through local and national partnerships and serve as the liaison between these food providers and our partner agencies that get it directly into the hands of those who need it.
Does the food bank take other donations besides food?
While we deal mainly with food donations, United Food Bank will accept other donations such as clothes, personal care products, paper products, etc. We offer these items to our partner agencies that are able to use them.
Does United Food Bank sell food?
United Food Bank does not sell food. Food is distributed to our registered partner agencies that may pay a nominal per pound fee that helps defray a small portion of the handling, storage and transportation costs, but do not pay anything for the food. Many foods like perishables, USDA commodities, etc. carry no fee whatsoever. United Food Bank also operates a self-help purchase food program for clients that want to stretch their food dollars called Help Yourself. United Food Bank purchases staples, meats, fresh produce, and nonperishable items in large quantities and passes these savings along to our customers. None of the food that clients purchase is donated food.
What does United Food Bank need more – money or food?
Both. Food donations (whether through individuals or food drives) account for much of the food that we provide to our agencies. However, we also need monetary donations for operational expenses and to help with needed food purchases. Because of our operating efficiencies, partnerships and donations, we are able to stretch $1 into close to $10-worth of food, or 4.5 meals.
How much food can United Food Bank accommodate?
Our 42,000 square foot warehouse includes a 22,000 cubic foot freezer and 24,000 cubic foot refrigerator- enabling us to accept almost any size donation- whether it's fresh, frozen, or dry. Philosophically, we do not want to store food. Food that is sitting in our warehouse is not feeding the hungry.
Does United Food Bank have enough food to meet the need?
No. On average, United Food Bank is able to fill around 75% of our partner agencies' requests. This can vary depending on the time of year. While the need doesn't change – it's always increasing, donations do fluctuate. More people donate during the holiday season, because it is seen as a time of giving; while donations go down during summer months.

MORRISTOWN - If U.S. Rep. Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, and state Treasurer Josh Mandel have their way, what they refer to as President Barack Obama's "war on coal" will soon come to a screeching halt.
"Hundreds of families have felt the effects of the war on coal," said Johnson while speaking before Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's Saturday speech at the Valley View Campgrounds, just east of Morristown.
Johnson is embroiled in a hotly contested race against former Democratic congressman Charlie Wilson to represent eastern Ohio in the House of Representatives. Mandel is the Republican challenger to Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.
"Barack Obama is the general in the war on coal, but Sherrod Brown is his main lieutenant," said Mandel. "Coal equals jobs."
"We are most safe in the U.S. when we produce energy here in the USA," he added.
Recently, coal miners at the Murray Energy Century Mine in Beallsville have been speaking out against what they also term Obama's "war on coal." After Democratic Party officials claimed the miners were forced by Murray to speak out against Obama, the miners held a news conference to emphatically deny this accusation.
Mandel also said Saturday the Obamacare health plan is bad for America, taking decisions away from individuals.
"We want a health care system where we make decisions without some faceless government bureaucrat telling us what we can have," he said.
Johnson told the crowd they should vote for Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and running mate Ryan because the two "know how to lead."
"We are not going to change Washington by sending Barack Obama and Sherrod Brown back there," Mandel added.

Barça have destroyed Atlético Madrid with a formidable display of tactics and skill
Villa, Miranda (og) and Messi put the home side ahead after just 26 minutes and the best player in the world was simply amazing in the second half
1-0 Villa (min 9)
2-0 Miranda (p.p.) (min 15)
3-0 Messi (min 26)
4-0 Messi (min 78)
5-0 Messi (min 91)
Atlético Madrid were beaten after just 26 minutes following some amazing football from a set of players that just seem to get better and better. Xavi was monumental as he orchestrated the onslaught on the visitors' goal, with Barça suffocating the red and white midfield with devastating possession play that as good as had the job done before the first half hour was up. Atlético may have been one of the most impressive teams so far this season, but they were powerless to contain FCB, who completed the show with two more goals in the second half, one of which will go down among Messi's greatest ever.
Villa gets dream start
Although the mattress-makers drew first blood with a Tiago shot onto the bar after just 4 minutes, Barça, once again playing with just three defenders (Alves, Mascherano and Abidal) soon started making their presence felt. After dominating the possession, they first hit the target thanks to Villa, who controlled a magnificent pass from Xavi on his chest and left Courtois floundering with a precision finish. Xavi was involved in the action shortly after, this time supplying Pedro, whose effort narrowly skimmed wide of the post.
Exhibition from Xavi to make it 3-0
Barça didn't hold off. Xavi continued his extraordinary first half with a cheeky back-heel that led to the second goal. However, it will officially go down to the unfortunate Miranda, off whose body the ball rebounded after Courtois had parried away Messi's strike. The Camp Nou was about to be soaked by a massive downpour, but nothing was going to dampen the spirits of Pep Guardiola's charges. It was time for some Messi magic, in yet another move inspired by the omnipresent Xavi, in which he wove his way around the entire Atlético defence and slotted the ball home inside the near post. A goal that was simply a delight to behold.
Tactical battle
Both sides like to play the ball around in the middle, and that is where most of the action took place. But Barça had the perfect game plan to deal with a very talented opponent indeed, and made sure neither Diego nor Falcao got too involved in what was going on. Instead, all the chances were going Barcelona's way, and Cesc almost made it four with a deft chip shortly before the break. Gregorio Manzano was clearly looking to shake things up a bit in the second half, when he sent on Salvio and Arda Turan, while Guardiola was under considerably less pressure and decided to give Piqué his first taste of match action since his return from injury. He was welcomed with a huge ovation and settled in nicely in what went back to being a four-man defence.
Messi unstoppable
As the minutes ticked by, Barcelona looked in absolute control of what was going on and continued piling the pressure on Courtois, especially through Messi and Villa. The Argentinian sent the stadium into raptures with a run that Maradona would have proud of in the 72nd minute that he finished off with a perfectly executed strike to make it 4-0. Not even that was enough. In injury time, he and Villa combined and the Argentinian completed a spectacular hat-trick to make it five. There is no doubting that Atlético is one of his favourite victims, and once again the red and whites are leaving the Camp Nou on the back of a thrashing in which at times they were merely spectators of another truly marvellous display form FC Barcelona.

When we last talked to Ray Stevenson, star of "Punisher: War Zone," he revealed that the rights to the character, adapted into financially unsuccessful movies by New World Pictures, Artisan and Lionsgate, had returned to Marvel. He suggested there were plans to utilize the brand again, and that he may be involved. We're not sure about that last part, but the character is set to appear again, this time on Fox television. Because what better place for a trigger-happy, murdering vigilante than the home of Animation Domination?
Fox has committed to a pilot featuring the New York City "superhero" from showrunner Ed Bernero ("Criminal Minds"). The story concerns a "rising star detective with the New York Police Department who moonlights as the vigilante Punisher, seeking justice for those the system has failed." Which should give longtime fans of the character considerable pause, since, um... that's not exactly the character. Best to shy away from all that "murdered family" business in prime time, right? The wording also seems a bit off: a detective "moonlights" as a shift manager at Target, not as a skull-shirted homicidal crime-fighter.
It's unclear how this is going to work on the small screen, since "Punisher: War Zone" literally averages out to about one death per minute, all of them incredibly violent. Though we do hope Stevenson, an excellent actor stuck in thankless musclehead roles, is retained for the role, it does sound like they're skewing much younger. "The Punisher" joins "AKA Jessica Jones" and "Hulk," both at ABC, as planned Marvel series, though the last two do not have pilot commitments. Fox is also developing a series based on "The Spectre," a popular DC character that will probably never properly translate to live action. Both "The Spectre" and "The Punisher" seem to be following a proud trend, just like "Human Target," of Fox adapting a comic property and completely ignoring any relevant information about the source material.

LITTLETON — Dakota Ridge's new girls basketball coach knows more than a little bit about success at the high school level.
Diane (Dittburner) Thompson graduated from Lamar High School in 1998, where she helped lead Lamar to four straight Class 4A girls basketball state championships from 1995 to 1998. She went on to earn All-American honors at the collegiate level. Thompson played two years at the University of Northern Colorado before transferring to Cal State University Bakersfield.
By Craig Harper — For the Courier
LITTLETON — Prior to his team's 2015-16 season-opener against rival Columbine, Dakota Ridge hockey coach Alec Hines said seniors Matteo Glennon and Bradley Huggins "came out of nowhere'' to earn starting positions along the Eagles' new front line.
Goodbye, Class 5A Jeffco football league. Hello, Conference G?
The Colorado High School Activities Association will make a bold and dramatic change to the current 5A football system for the next two-year (2016-17 and 2017-18) cycle. Welcome to the world of the waterfall format.
LITTLETON — Columbine's girls basketball team is giving back to the community while winning some games along the way.
The Rebels hosted the 2nd annual Rebel with a Cause Tournament during the opening week of the prep hoops season. The tournament encouraged teams and fans to bring new or gently used toys for a toy drive to benefit City Square, a local organization in Denver that provides for low-income and homeless families.
LITTLETON — Chatfield's girls basketball team hopes the road is a little less rocky than its opening week.
A day before the Chargers opened their season at the Rebel with a Cause Tournament at Columbine High School on Dec. 2, the team found out it would be without head coach Mike Deutsch for at least a month.
DENVER — D'Evelyn girls basketball coach Chris Olson had one question for senior Lexi Reed after she announced on Twitter that she had committed to run cross country and track at Oregon State University.
"When she tweeted out that she was signing, I texted her to congratulate her and also asked if they were going to let her still play basketball," Olson said. "I was nervous (Oregon State) would say no."
LITTLETON — A familiar face has been a welcomed addition to Chatfield's boys basketball program: Riley Welch has come home.
"I was ecstatic," Chatfield coach Steve Schimpeler said when he heard the news Welch was moving back to Colorado. "The reason why is he is a great kid, and he is going to help our basketball team."
LITTLETON — Dakota Ridge boys basketball coach Curi Yutzy isn't goal oriented by any means.
"We don't set any goals. All we do is talk about getting a little bit better every day," said Yutzy, who coached the Eagles to their first boys hoops conference title in more than a decade last season. "We are willing to live with whatever the results might be. Whether it's a league championship or a .500 season. Our commitment is to just get better."
LITTLETON — Columbine football team's long postseason run into the Class 5A state semifinals might have created some anxiety for Rebels' boys basketball coach Clay Thielking.
If you visit South Valley, Deer Creek Canyon or Hildebrand park on any given morning, you just might see Jean Viste hiking along a trail.
For nearly 17 years the Ken Caryl resident has been walking trails in South Valley, Deer Creek Canyon and other area parks while serving as a volunteer for Jeffco Open Space. She has helped hikers locate their cars, closed trails where the presence of bears and mountain lions presented danger, and administered first-aid to the injured.

On the tape, Betsy Liley, the director of institutional giving at NPR, tells a representative of the fictitious Muslim Education Action Center, a front for the notorious Muslim Brotherhood, that Soros has tried to subsidize NPR with as little fanfare as possible. Last week, Project Veritas released a tape proving that NPR was ready and willing to accept a $5 million donation from the faux jihadists and keep it anonymous.
In the latest tape, Liley explains that NPR took a lot of heat when Soros, a billionaire anti-Christian leftist who funds a constellation of anti-American groups, donated $1.8 million to NPR through his Open Society Foundations, the nerve center of his well-monied political apparatus. Soros is spending millions to attack conservatives through such leftist organizations as Media Matters For America, the goal of which is destroy conservative journalists.
Says Liley: "George Soros and the Open Society Institute gave us $1.8 million, and they have decided not to use on-air credits because of what's happening in Congress."
I think the first gift was within the first year he set up the Foundation, which was 10 or 15 years ago. But, it was a different political situation and current events were a little different, and so, it went through — I was not here, but I think it went — there wasn't a press hullabaloo. I mean, the Open Society Institute was getting — you know, the conservatives on some of the websites, were having people call his foundation. The press was calling and so, it became, kind of — you know they got roped into the Juan Williams thing, which they didn't feel like they needed to be.
The audio also reveals how "excited" NPR was about getting $5 million from the Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC), despite its questionable affiliations.
"I'm being very procedural here," Liley says, "but we are excited about this and it's very, very generous."
After that, the MEAC representative, Kassam, explains why the group's donation must be kept secret, again stressing the group's connection to Islamic groups that sympathize with terrorism.
I can certainly understand ... if they found that we were donating in particular, as I mentioned, some of our members are also parts of other groups that conservatives love to attack whether it's the Muslim Brotherhood, or CAIR or the Muslim Students Association, etc.... If Glenn Beck found out these things... he would ... well, it would probably be rather unfortunate for NPR in addition to us.
NPR Will Not Be Defunded
The tape is another black eye for NPR. During the past two weeks, O'Keefe released video and audio recordings that triggered a storm of criticism of NPR. The video shows a lunch meeting between two MEAC representatives, Liley, and NPR executive Ron Schiller. He calls Tea Party members stupid racists, and laughs with Liley when the Muslims say they call NPR "National Palestinian Radio" because its coverage of the Middle East is biased in favor of the anti-Israel Muslim cause.
The affiliation of the faux Muslims and the goal stated at their website, to spread Sharia or Islamic law throughout the world, did not bother the NPR executives.
That video resulted in Ron Schiller's resignation and the firing of NPR CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation). She landed in hot water in October when she fired veteran NPR man Juan Williams and suggested he needed a psychiatrist because he admitted that Muslims on planes make him nervous.
Then O'Keefe released the first audio recording of Liley, in which she admits that she can keep the radical Muslim group's identity a secret from auditors.
And now, O'Keefe has Liley confessing that Soros or the Soros spider-web of leftist organizations have been funding NPR for some time, long before he showered NPR with $1.8 million at about the same time Vivian Schiller permitted an executive to fire Williams over the phone.
Despite the controversy, NPR's federal funding is safe. Hours after O'Keef'e released the latest from Liley, the U.S. House voted to defund NPR entirely. But according to the National Journal, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is one of its biggest fans and will block any attempt to cut off its federal funds.
"I listen to NPR every day," Reid said in a statement issued on Thursday to National Journal Daily. "Like many Americans, my children and I have benefited from the educational and news programs public radio provides every day of the year. Public radio and the top-notch journalists it employs are valuable resources to people of all ages across the country and I can't understand why Republicans would want to take that away from them."
Republicans "want to take that away from them" because NPR's programming, they say, is hopelessly leftist, an assessment with which at least one public radio executive agrees.
At a meeting of NPR's board directors on February 25, Susan Schardt, executive director of the Association of Independents in Radio, said the network's main target is rich white liberals, who constitute just 11 percent of the American population. She appealed to the board to broaden its horizons and make its programming palatable to most Americans.
Said Schardt, "We have to look at this because the criticisms that are coming at us — whether they're couched in other things — do have some legitimacy. We must, as a starting point, take on board some of this criticism.... We have to own this."

Where can you find free books, DVD's, and CD's? The public library. And that's exactly what more and more people are doing in the east in order to save money during the recession.
According to Director of the Pitt County Libraries Willie Nelms the county has seen about an 8 percent increase of people coming in within the past year.
He says a lot of that is because of the bad economy and people like to rent instead of buy. He also says it's because of the attraction of public access computers and they've seen a 9 percent increase over the past year.
The library has also been affected by the recession financially. Nelms says they've had a 10 percent budget cut within the past year.

The State Department of Natural Resources has offered funds to Medina County farmers to better control nutrient runoff into Lake Erie.
Medina County Soil and Water Conservation District Director Jeff Van Loon said the state will reimburse farmers who use cover crops and controlled drainage structures on their fields to reduce runoff.
Van Loon said the state redirected funds to farmers in the Rocky River and Black River watersheds in response to the Toledo water crisis.
Almost four weeks ago, more than 400,000 people in northwest Ohio were advised to not use drinking water because of algae toxins contaminating it.
Van Loon said nutrient runoff from farms greatly contributes to the algae bloom in Lake Erie.
"The more farmers from here to Indiana that put on cover crops, the more we can start making a dent in the runoff that goes into Lake Erie," he said. "If each person does the responsible thing, it will help reduce some of the algae problem."
Van Loon said he was notified two weeks ago the state will reimburse $25 an acre up to 50 acres for farmers in the Lake Erie watershed who choose to use cover crops.
Farmers spread the additional crop on their fields in the fall and don't usually harvest them in the spring, he said. The cover crops most often used to reduce runoff and erosion are ryegrass, cereal rye, oats or crimson clover. He said they also improve soil health and act as a weed suppressant.
"We're scratching the surface and just getting started with this," Van Loon said. "In the future, I think we'll see more farmers using cover crop."
The state also is reimbursing farmers who purchase a controlled drainage structure, which allows water to back up in drainage tiles that farmers use in their fields, thus reducing the amount of nutrient runoff. The structures cost about $1,500 and farmers in Medina County can apply to be reimbursed for just under 100 percent of the cost.
Van Loon said the district will have a public seminar about the drainage structures this winter and will contact 90 farmers in Medina County who would potentially be interested.
The deadline for farmers to fill out an application at the Medina Soil and Water Conservation District Office, 6090 Wedgewood Road, for the cover crop reimbursement is Oct. 15. The deadline for the drainage structure reimbursement is March 15.
Van Loon said the reimbursements could become an annual program if the algae problem in Lake Erie continues.
"As long as Lake Erie is having issues, I would suspect there will be opportunities for this kind of funding for farmers in the Lake Erie watershed," he said.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I'll check this out for a little bit.
No plug.dj room or GIFs on the stream. And for that reason, I'm out.
Also, Ryan is playing like he dreamt away all of his SimCity skills.
But I can't watch this stream because Twitch TV is telling me I've reached the "maximum number of streams" for my country.
What the fuck?
Why am I able to watch Giant Bomb streams but not this one from Ryan's Twitch account? Apparently that was Justin.tv and I just hadn't noticed. Well that website sucks.
I'm a paid Giant Bomb subscriber, and apparently there's content I can't watch. Hmpf. Well, technically this is Ryan content and not Giant Bomb content, but still hmpf.

@snail: Yeah he did not want to use twitch for some reason.
It seems a little "tame"? I know its odd to say that about a city building game. I tried it during Beta 1 and it was okay, but seeing it again now as someone else is playing it, well it doesn't provide for an entertaining watch.
I'm wondering if the game amps up the difficulty and stuff to manage as the city grows. If I've understood it correctly we only get the same size of space to build on for the full release. I'm thinking it'll be interesting for a few hours, then seriously start to drag on as you've maxed the building space.
Stream is over but there is a archive for those who enjoy davis playing strat games
Test gameplay? It's an hour long demo to get peeps hyped as well as to test out their server capability. They aren't going to be making any changes to gameplay this close to release.
@fattony12000: A "Closed beta" means testing the game, that's what I've been used to, perhaps the meaning of beta is changing and I'm simply not up to date.
@funkydupe: They are testing things. Just not anything that a developer working on art or animation or internal tools or sound effects or music or engine or shaders or plot or features or writing or cinematics is going to be able to change at this point. It's been a commonly said thing (not by me, I've never said this thing publicly) these past few years, that many demos are labelled as betas to make them look sexier to gamers I guess question mark?
No doubt they are gathering data from this test, but how much and how useful it'll be is where the lines get blurry between the terms demo (a portion of a finished/nearly finished video game that the public/a selected group of people play) and beta (a classification of a video game whilst in an unfinished state).
It's a damn shit that I didn't get a second code.
@damisterchief: The archive link isn't working. Looks like Ryan is getting his twitch account and now the video gets stuck in a page load loop.

Well that was boring. Why didn't he just get a massive bond so he could spend like crazy, there is only so much road laying I can watch in a hour.
Why is Ryan at hospital in those pictures?
He's doing/did a sleep study.

When gamers last heard from Bill McCollum, the Florida Attorney General was fretting that the motion-controlled Wii version of Manhunt 2 would have a generation of kids practicing to be killers. As GamePolitics reported in June of 2007, McCollum apparently got that idea from Jack Thompson.
These days, McCollum is, like many political colleagues in other states, urging parents to follow ESRB content ratings while shopping for holiday gifts. A press release on his official website quotes the Republican A.G.:
Though the holiday season is one of the busiest times of year, it is also perhaps the most important time of the year for consumers to make sure they know what they're buying for their loved ones. The ESRB rating system provides parents and others with age and content information which can be informative tools when purchasing games for family and friends.
McCollum's press release also quotes ESRB head Patricia Vance as well as ESA CEO Michael Gallagher.
But not Jack Thompson.

- Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-β-Catenin (Ser33/37/Thr41) Antibody detects endogenous levels of β-catenin only when phosphorylated at serines 33, 37 or threonine 41. It does not recognize beta-catenin phosphorylated at other sites.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser33, Ser37 and Thr41 of human β-catenin. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from 293 cells, pretreated with 20 mM LiCl for 30 minutes and then with 50 nM calyculin A, using Phospho-β-Catenin (Ser33/37/Thr41) Antibody (upper) or β-Catenin Antibody #9562 (lower).
β-Catenin is a key downstream effector in the Wnt signaling pathway (1). It is implicated in two major biological processes in vertebrates: early embryonic development (2) and tumorigenesis (3). CK1 phosphorylates β-catenin at Ser45. This phosphorylation event primes β-catenin for subsequent phosphorylation by GSK-3β (4-6). GSK-3β destabilizes β-catenin by phosphorylating it at Ser33, Ser37, and Thr41 (7). Mutations at these sites result in the stabilization of β-catenin protein levels and have been found in many tumor cell lines (8).

I've been trying to find any way to optimize the performance of my location-based iPhone application and have seen some people mention that you can force location updates by starting and stopping your CLLocationManager. I need the best accuracy I can get, and the user in my case would probably like to see updates every few seconds (say, 10 seconds) as they walk around. I've set the filters accordingly, but I notice that sometimes I don't get any updates on the device for quite some time.
I'm testing the following approach, which forces an update when a fixed time interval passes (I'm using 20 seconds). My gut tells me this really won't help me provide more accurate updates to the user, and that just leaving CLLocationManager running all the time is probably the best approach.
- (void)forceLocationUpdate {
[[LocationManager locationManager] stopUpdates];
[[LocationManager locationManager] startUpdates];
[self performSelector:@selector(forceLocationUpdate) withObject:nil afterDelay:20.0];
My question is- does forcing updates from CLLocationManager actually improve core location performance? Does it hurt performance? If I'm outside in an open field with good GPS reception, will this help then? Does anyone have experience trying this?
Thanks in advance, Steve

Is The FB Short Squeeze Over?
From the lows on 11/12/12 at under $19, Faceplant has managed an impressive 50% or so levitation that has been generously positioned as being due to Zuckerberg's expert guidance and confirmation that it is in fact a viable business. The two mega volume spikes from 10/24 and 11/14 appear to have provided more ammunition as short-interest surged to record levels. The last two weeks have seen Facebook's resurgence slowing and despite the protestations of a thousand entrenched vested interests, it would appear that, simply put, this was a mega short-squeeze as short-interest has plunged to its lowest since June. One can't help but consider that those momentum buyers now in the stock will be disappointed as the short-covering scramble appears to be over for now as the last month's mega unwind has played out.
Lower pane shows the collapse in short-interest.

FB? I haven't shopped at a Fashion Bar for decades. Everyone sure did look good in those Barracuda jackets. Try as one may, you could never find them on sale.
Fads...they all fade.
Dude, I would rock that jacket for sure. the 80's are coming back.
I miss the wool Eisenhower Member's Only jacket I once had. Should have never parted with it - in spite of the lining falling apart.
That grin says 'hurry up cameraman, I've got the muchees!'
Black Swan coming
Canadian and Australian Reits...
If they monetize facebook it will be the biggest company in the world.
Remember all those people who thought Google was massively overvalued when it came to market!
FB P/E 255. About 20X overpriced.
GOOG P/E 22. Much more reasonable.
FB has no product. Just a lot of "users". They don't go there to buy things. They don't click on ads.
It's not a good format for mobile. It won't make money as a "free" site, they will use a majority of users if they charge. I don't think it will ever repeat it's first-day high.
Selling Calls..
Loading Puts...
(THE YEAR IS DONE FOR THE LONG CHICKEN)...Time for BEARS
See you at $5, FB
You shold eat a Chipotle buritto when saying this.
just in time for the pension funds to buy in. in the future zuck will be worth $50B and FB will be a zero. Nice work if you can get it.
With the % of float increasing substantially recently, doesn't that increase make up the entire decrease attributied to % of short interest float? If so, there's no net change overall in short interest. It just shrank comparative to outsatanding flood of float.
And ifit's a wash, would it make for a good short candidate today? Or is that dependent on how/when the massive influx of inside holders decide to sell?
Seems to me, if they've been convinced to hold the line, the price will leviate with their actions.
Substantial float? Yeah, like 54% the last month. No dilution there <sarc>.
November 13th: 1.332 billion shares, 49% of shares outstanding.
December 13th: 124 million shares, 5% of shares outstanding
Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-lockup-release-2012-8#ixzz2F2YxqlKK
Using the data you provided, "The Business Insider" suggests that the float increased 70% since August.
There are now more shares available with the lockouts ending. If % of shares short were held constant, then after the lockout, the total short shares would have decreased as a % of floated shares without anyone bailing on their short postions anyway. So I don't see how the charts in this article tell the full story without an adjustment.
IMO, any meeting at FB headquarters encouraging shareholders to "hold the line" worked. They didn't sell. The price reflects that. Only at the next price platteau will some of the holders be teased with the prisoners dillima.
- August 15th, 2012 (next Thursday): 268 million shares, 10% of shares outstanding.
- October 14th: 249 million shares, 9% of shares outstanding.
- November 13th: 1.332 billion shares, 49% of shares outstanding.
- December 13th: 124 million shares, 5% of shares outstanding.
- May 17th, 2013: 47 million shares, 2% of shares outstanding.
Over the next 4 months, in other words, 2 billion Facebook shares will become eligible for sale—about 70% of Facebook's total shares outstanding.

i won't be able to short FB (flopbook) @ $30 bc it won't reach $30...when it was @ $28 a week or so ago, i reached this conclusion, when one of the shoe shine boys at cbs-mw screamed BULLISH...(NOTE; he didn't scream bullish when @ $19, but ONLY when it was @ $28...= i realized the TOP was in...aaah shucks !!! won't be able to short it @ $30!!)
but shorted @ $26.7, $27.5 and $28.4 = avg SHORT price on FB = $27.5
how you avoid "short squeezes" 1) scale in 2) IF necessary you sell DEEP in the money PUTS and ride 3) buy DEEP out of the money calls = sooooo easy !!!! NOBODY should be "squeezed" if you follow the 3 rules above
see link below: where i talked about FB TOP = $28....oh by the way i shorted spx on black fri (1400+) and shorted more weeks later @ 1415...and RODE up til QE4 = 1439...= DIDN'T SHORT above 1418...that's ok..just wait for below 1300 this year..LOL !!!
When is California's fiscal year end? I was thinking that FB needed to be pumped up so that CA wouldn't take a big dive on tax revenues for FB (IPO sale).
It's never over.
People only use Facebook for status updates now. Forcing people into the timeline profile killed the photo sharing aspect of the site.
Mobile is only used for status updates and it has no ads. Which is why Facebook is trying to force users to pay money so their status updates appear first on friends screens.
Facebook is done, there is no money to be made, there never was any money to be made. Zuckerberg got his cash for allowing the government to get their hands on the personal information of hundreds of millions of people.
Which is why the stock will probably go north of $100, because Wall Street loves corporations that don't make any money but can make up for it with galactic levels of bullshit. Even the stock of bankrupt corporations can triple in a few short days.

Every now and again, when looking at the big picture of social transformation, the question arises: Is the power of the nation state in decline? Can governments really govern the way they have in the past?
Even the National Foreign Intelligence Board's conservative Global Trends 2015 report noted "The state will remain the single most important organizing unit of political, economic, and security affairs through 2015 but will confront fundamental tests of effective governance."
The fact that such a report even discussed the question highlights that the potential decline of the nation state has received serious attention by more than a few. And certainly when considered in the context of economic globalization, the establishment of regional free-trading blocs, a growing number of international regulatory treaties and the increasing influence of NGOs operating transnationally, there is little dispute that the challenges to governments at all levels have become increasingly complex.
Underpinning an array of shifting political and social dynamics lies a fundamental social transformation that futurists and sociologists have been investigating and describing for years -- a transformation that continues to produce new unanticipated twists and turns.
"As the rate of change becomes faster, governments -- federal, state or provincial and municipal -- seem to become more dysfunctional," notes W.R. Clement, a long time policy consultant to the Canadian government and author of Quantum Jump: A Survival Guide for the New Renaissance.
On one level, that view seems rather brutal. For years Government Technology has reported on IT innovations and applications which continue to improve the quality and efficiency of service delivery to citizens. Web pages, GIS applications, integrated justice solutions, improved customer access 24/7 and better data management are just some of the benefits that have improved government service delivery.
However, the dysfunction of which Clement speaks refers not to the obvious successes of solving old problems better, but rather meeting an entirely different set of circumstances that global transformation is now thrusting upon governments -- problems that appear as challenges requiring new solutions on top of all the legacy solutions for old traditional problems.
He doesn't delineate challenges as they exist for local governments per say. Yet it is here that the cracks become most obvious, especially if we think of local government as the activity that most directly shapes the health and prosperity of the communities in which we live. Traditionally local governments did much to attract and foster the industries that created employment and wealth for a municipality. They built the infrastructure of our towns and cities that has in large measure defined how we live our lives. They educated new generations so social progress continued to be made. And they maintained law and order, protecting citizens and thereby helping the honest to live decent and productive lives.
Today, however, the traditional role of local government is increasingly challenged by trends and forces over which they seemingly have little effective control. In some ways, local communities are like a ship on the high seas being battered and tossed by hurricane winds and waves ---- a tempest of change. Except the fierce winds have risen slowly, so their growing ferocity has scarcely been noticed. The result is that what once would have been viewed as a social calamity now passes for normal.
Drugs seemingly pour into the country virtually unchecked, making billions for international drug cartels. This fuels increasingly high crime rates, with millions now housed in prisons at public expense. And it spurs gang violence, dangerous streets, and cancerous sub-cultures of questionable social contributions. Local governments directly face the effects year after year.
Terrorism has become the primary vehicle for waging war against America. People plotting in secret on the other side of the globe how have placed tremendous new burdens upon local

Kevin Garnett's tribute video was tremendous, however this Paul Pierce montage brought the house down at the TD Garden. The video was played at the conclusion of the first quarter, and the entire TD Garden crowd was on their feet for the entire tribute, as well as several minutes afterwards to show Pierce appreciation for his 14 years in Boston. You can watch the COMPLETE VIDEO as well as Pierce's reaction to the Garden ovation after the video after the jump.

Tongue Broke on 4th use
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought these at the end of last year on sale while I was gearing up a for a completely new setup (boots/bindings/skis). Was just getting to a decent fit and the left shell tongue broke about midway--at the flex point where there are fold features. I did notice that when I was skiing and driving hard, the left boot was making a clicking sound, like it does when clicking into ski mode from walk mode....although it was definitely in ski mode the whole time. When I went to use them the next time, the tongue just fell off! I haven't used them enough to give a real review on performance, but based on this early component failure I don't have high hopes. And since I bought them almost a year ago, I am worried about how they will treat the warranty even though I haven't even used them much.
Same thing just happened to me...
Would you thermo mold these boots?
Would you thermo mold these boots?
Yes. It is possible to ski out of the box, but will be much more comfortable and precise with molding.
will this boot work well with BD Fritschi...
will this boot work well with BD Fritschi Freeride Pro bindings?
It will work fine. I've used my Dynafit Titans with Fritschi's and they worked great. Just be sure to adjust the toe height properly so they release when they should.
does it fit people with very wide feet?
does it fit people with very wide feet?
The widest AT boots are typically BDs. The last on these is stated as 103mm, but can feel narrower. Dynafits typically run medium to narrow.
I have owned the Dynafit ZZero 4 C-TF for a couple of years, and they are allegedly the widest last Dynafit offers. I also have a wide foot, but it is low volume and my heel is small-to-average. I find that some boots that have a wider last (i.e. Black Diamond , Scarpa) also have too much volume, but the bigger problem is that the heel pocket is also enlarged so I get lots of heel raise. My Dynafit ZZero 4 C-TF fit great. I did have to get a couple of very minor holes punched, and added some addition padding to the achiles to lock the heel in more, but they really were great even to begin with for my foot shape.

The Beasley Firm is currently representing patients who received a surgical mesh implant to repair pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence and then either needed corrective surgery or continued to suffer severe symptoms like mesh eroding and stick through the vaginal wall, urinary problems, or infection requiring hospitalization.
Background on the Dangers of Transvaginal Mesh Implants
In July 2011, the FDA reversed position on the use of transvaginal mesh, and altered doctors and hospitals that, "The FDA is issuing this update to inform you that serious complications associated with surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP are not rare." The FDA further said:
- Mesh used in transvaginal POP repair introduces risks not present in traditional non-mesh surgery for POP repair.
- Mesh placed abdominally for POP repair appears to result in lower rates of mesh complications compared to transvaginal POP surgery with mesh.
- There is no evidence that transvaginal repair to support the top of the vagina (apical repair) or the back wall of the vagina (posterior repair) with mesh provides any added benefit compared to traditional surgery without mesh.
Mesh erosion through the vagina or vaginal wall is the most common complication from the implanting of surgical mesh following a hysterectomy or surgery for POP or SUI. The mesh products have not been recalled, however, and many are still sold and used in implants.
The Affected Surgical Mesh Implants
Although more than three dozen transvaginal mesh products are implicated by the problem, most of the mesh lawsuits arise from products manufactured by Ethicon / Johnson & Johnson (like Gynecare or Gynemesh), C.R. Bard (like Avaulta), Boston Scientific Products (like Advantage Sling and Pinnacle), and American Medical Systems (like Monarc, Perigee, and Elevate).
What Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits Allege
There are no transvaginal mesh class actions. The cases are filed individually, just like any other personal injury or product liability. In general, the cases allege that the meshes are manufactured out of polypropylene, a synthetic plastic product that is typically knitted or woven into a mesh pattern, and that polypropylene is not biologically inert, like the mesh makers claim, but rather reacts with human tissue.
The problem is that, unlike abdominal wall tissue, vaginal wall tissue is not nearly as strong or as flexible. Thus, after the mesh is implanted, the mesh begins to shrink and — because polyproylene reacts with tissue, and because the vaginal wall is unable to handle much of a stretch — the stretching causes inflammation and the inflammatory process causes the erosion, breakthrough, and symptoms noticed by mesh patients.
The lawsuits allege that the mesh manufacturers negligently failed to adequately consider, test, and warn about these shrinkage and inflammation issues.
Compensation and Settlements for Vaginal Mesh Injuries
For over fifty years, The Beasley Firm has stood up for the rights of injured patients and consumers, and we do the same for our vaginal mesh clients. We know what a toll the mesh symptoms can have on a person's life, from the embarrassment caused by urinary problems to the emotional injuries caused by pain during sexual intercourse and the damage it causes to our client's intimate relationships. We work to make sure that our clients will receive fair and adequate compensation for the severity of their injuries, not merely the first offer made by insurance company for the mesh manufacturer.

Spain Just Gave Us a Glimpse Into the True State of the EU Banking System
The following is an excerpt from my most recent client letter.
In case you missed it, Spain just gave the entire world a glimpse of what's happening "behind the scenes" in the financial system.
I am of course referring to the Bankia nationalization, the largest bank nationalization in Spain's history.
Bankia was formed in 2010 when the Spanish Government merged seven insolvent cajas So it's no surprise that Bankia was a trainwreck waiting to happen… at least to anyone with a working brain.
However, both the bank and the Spanish Government decided to maintain the charade that the bank was in great form right up until it collapsed (only one month ago Bankia was talking about paying its dividend).
On May 9th the Spanish Government stepped in to nationalize the bank. Its first step was to convert its (the Spanish Government's) €4.5 billion worth of preferred shares to common shares, thereby taking a 45% stake in the bank.
Then Bankia announces €17 billion of new write-downs as well as €7 billion of mark-downs on investments, thereby rendering the bank insolvent. It also revised its 2011 results from a €309 million profit to a €3 billion LOSS.
The end result… Bankia just received a €19 billion Euro bailout, the largest in Spain's history. That's not the problem however. The REAL problem is that Spain itself is broke…
…so where is the €23.5bn for the Bankia rescue going to come from? The state's Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB) is down to €5.3bn, and there are many other candidates for that soup kitchen.
Spain must somehow rustle up €20bn or more on the debt markets. This will push the budget deficit back into the danger zone, though Madrid will no doubt try to keep it off books – or seek backdoor funds from the ECB to cap borrowing costs. Nobody will be fooled…
The Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels puts likely write-offs at €270bn. We could see Spain's public debt surge into triple digits in short order.
As I wrote in my column this morning, the Spanish economy is spiralling into debt-deflation. Monetary and fiscal policy are both excruciatingly tight for a country in this condition. The plan to slash the budget deficit from 8.9pc to 5.3pc this year in the middle of an accelerating contraction borders on lunacy.
You cannot do this to a society where unemployment is already running at 24.4pc. Either Europe puts a stop to this very quickly by mobilising the ECB to take all risk of a Spanish (or Italian) sovereign default off the table – and this requires fiscal union to back it up – or it must expect Spanish patriots to take matters into their own hands and start to restore national self-control outside EMU.
In addition to this, Spain's regional governments are seeking bailouts:
Spain's Catalonia seeks government help to pay debt
Spain's wealthiest autonomous region, Catalonia, needs financing help from the central government because it is running out of options for refinancing debt this year, Catalan President Artur Mas said today.
"We don't care how they do it, but we need to make payments at the end of the month. Your economy can't recover if you can't pay your bills," Mas told a group of reporters from foreign media.
A spokesman for the Catalan government later emphasised that Mas was referring to payments that must be met routinely each month and not a specific deadline this month.
The debt burden of Spain's 17 highly devolved regions, and rising bad loans at the country's banks, are both at the heart of the euro zone debt crisis because investors are concerned they could strain finances so much that Spain, the currency bloc's fourth biggest economy, will need an international bailout.
Catalonia, which represents one fifth of the Spanish economy, has more than 13 billion euros in debt to refinance this year, as well as its deficit.
All of the regions together have 36 billion euros ($45 billion) to refinance this year, as well as an authorised deficit of 15 billion euros.
Last year many of the regions financed debt by falling months or even years behind in payments to providers such as street cleaners and hospital equipment suppliers.
Thus, Spain has illustrated the true nature of the EU Crisis in just one week. Specifically…
- Both governments and banks are lying about the real risks to their balance sheets (Bankia passed the EU's stress tests).
- We have reached the point at which Governments can no longer bailout their own failing banks as the Governments themselves are bankrupt (see Catalonia and Spain as a whole).
To recap… Spain has only €5 billion left in its own bailout fund… at a time when its largest bank needs €19 billion (at the least)… and its regional government have begun asking for bailouts too.
Oh, and the Spanish banking system needs to write off another €270 billion… if Spain cannot cobble together €19 billion, where on earth will it get the money needed to support its collapsing banking system which is on the verge of having to write down hundreds of billions of Euros?
This is the state of affairs in Europe: bankrupt nations trying to bailout bankrupt banks or looking for bailouts from funds that are backed by other bankrupt nations.
What could go wrong?
On that note, Spain will take down the EU, guaranteed. I've been warning about this for months and everything is unraveling exactly as I forecast. So if you're not preparing for an end to the EU in its current form as well as a European banking collapse, you need to get moving.
I recently published a report showing investors how to prepare for this. It's called How to Play the Collapse of the European Banking System and it explains exactly how the coming Crisis will unfold as well as which investment (both direct and backdoor) you can make to profit from it.

Lets cut Graham some slack. If you are an apprentice sorcerer you need practice. Sooner or later every Bear is right and of course Every Bull. Of course crying for the Wolf can get you into trouble if you do it too often, but eventually he shows up. This may be one of those moments.
I may not have seen the wolf yet but there are wolf farts in the wind.
The barbarians are at the gate. They sported an RFID Toll Tag, so we let them enter.
Read Jim Sincliar: QE to infinity.
As for me I'm collecting all the gold and silver I can find. Did the Scrap4treasure program.
Just waiting for gold to get over 2k and silver back above 50.
Thanks to Greece and Spain and the rest the Fed's going to help them get there sooner.
The bullion banks may get too nervous to naked short much longer. Once my junior miners make proper bottom formations i'm all in.
Don't fret! The Global Banksters have orchestrated the conditions that have led up to this "challenge". They already have a plan that will provide "liquidity", calm the masses, and usher us into the next phase of the NWO.
Relax, and enjoy the ride. Everything will be provided! Have faith!
So that which was the cajas "good bank" became a Bankia "bad Bank." Let me show you my shocked look....
Maybe this is your last big chance Mariano: send them "La Armada Invencible" joder !!!
All of this "Hanky Banky" must stop!
Well, it may be tiresome, but it may also be true. if it is, look out below. I think the skepticism of G's persistent views is grounded in some belief, not unwarranted, that the ECB and other Central Banks have some as yet un played parlor tricks to bring out to save the day. I am not so sure.
This is like a waiter who can't stop thanking you for dining at that restaurant.....it's embarassing to say the least.
Slowest. Train-wreck. Evar.
But in the spirit of...
KE = (m * v^2) / 2
...the *mass* of the train is large enough to kill nearly everyone.
So strange to watch the world die like this: at the hands of mediocrity.
Look busy.
"… at least to anyone with a working brain"
Buy the fucking dip.
Go for it.
4 articles a week...that just means more opportunity to keep flushing Graham's head in the toilet.
He really is the whipping boy of this forum. If everything he wrote was constructive and ORIGINAL then maybe I would give him some slack.
Nowadays, I am guilty of scrolling straight to the comments and weeding out the Graham bashers. It brightens my day.
no one's forcing you to read it- or commenting on it, for that matter.
Zzzz (yawn) ..we there yet Graham?
4 articles a week on the same topic, hoping this broken record changes it's tune like tomorrow if ya could!
Could be. Graham makes a case that QE is not lilkely in near future. May have to go to Tarot and the I Ching.
"How much longer before the economic collapse?"
From the I-Ching:
59. Houan / The Dissolution, the Scattering:
The trigram representing water, and that for wind moving above the water, form Houan. The ancient kings, in accordance with this, presented offerings to the deity and established the ancestral temple.
Houan intimates that under its conditions there will be progress and success. The king goes to their ancestral temple; and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
The bottom line, as six: shows its subject engaged in rescuing from the impending evil, and having the assistance of a strong horse. There will be good fortune.
The second line, as nine: shows its subject, amid the dispersion, hurrying to their contrivance for security. All occasion for repentance will disappear.
The third line, as six: shows its subject discarding any regard to their own person. There will be no occasion for repentance.
The fourth line, as six: shows its subject scattering the different parties in the the state; which leads to great good fortune. From the dispersion they collect again good people standing out, a crowd like a mound, which is what ordinary folk would not have thought of.
The fifth line, as nine: shows its subject amidst the dispersion issuing their great announcements as the perspiration flows from their body. They scatter abroad also the accumulation in the royal granaries. There will be no error.
The topmost line, as nine: shows its subject disposing of what may be called its bloody wounds, and going and separating themselves from their anxious fears. There will be no error.
One moving line transforms 59 to:
61. Tchong Fou / The Interior Truth
The trigram representing the waters of a marsh, and that for wind above it, form Tchong Fou. The superior person, in accordance with this, deliberates about causes of litigations and delays the infliction of death.
Tchong Fou moves even pigs and fish, and leads to good fortune. There will be advantage in crossing the great stream. There will be advantage in being firm and correct.
The bottom line, as nine: shows its subject resting in their self. There will be good fortune. If they sought to rest in any other, they would not find rest.
The second line, as nine: shows its subject like the crane crying out in her hidden retirement, and her young ones responding to her. It is as if it were said, 'I have a cup of good spirits', and the response were, 'I will partake of it with you.'
The third line, as six: shows its subject having met with their mate. Now they beat their drum, and now they leave off. Now they weep, and now they sing.
The fourth line, as six: shows its subject like the moon nearly full, and like a horse in a chariot whose fellow disappears. There will be no error.
The fifth line, as nine: shows its subject perfectly sincere, and linking others to them in closest union. There will be no error.
The topmost line, as nine: shows its subject on a rooster trying to mount to heaven. Even with firm correctness there will be evil.
not until Graham cranks it up to 7 articles a week on the same topic
if you feel like you know the Economic Apocalypse inside out and more intimately than your wife or GF it's because there's a whole fucking industry pumping out Peak Hysteria 24/7 from every oriface of the financial industry
it'll be a big relief when we finally get there if only that these clowns STFU
he promised (cross your heart hope to die)by may/june 2012 crash with 100% certainty in last desperate attempt to be right.
last time a charm? (for predictions)

Papa PlayboyHugh Hefner wants to become a father again - at the age of 80.
The Playboy boss - who has four children from two previous marriages - is considering starting a family with one of his three live-in girlfriends, Playboy Playmate Holly Madison, 27.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I wouldn't say that there's a plan, but there has certainly been a conversation. I think if I say it will probably happen that would be an overstatement, but it is a very real possibility. It began as a wish, and now it's becoming, I mean, on Holly's part, a more serious conversation."
The legendary lothario also insists that after years of searching he has finally found true love with Holly.
He said: "This is the one. It's fascinating - I mean, with all the years and the romantic adventures and the marriages and so on - to find something as special as this at this stage in my life is a miracle."
Hefner's oldest daughter, Christie Hefner, who is twice Holly's age, is the chairman and CEO of Playboy Enterprises.

Hospital Impact has been ranked one of the top 50 healthcare blogs by Wikio.
Blogs we like:
I recently read a blog post by Arik Hanson (@arikhanson) about well-known people in the digital world switching jobs. In his post, Hanson said, "Research has proven that ambitious, upwardly-mobile employees get a little bored after a few years in the same role ... They master the job quickly, get bored and want a new challenge. This is exactly what is happening in social right now."
Social media became a "real job" in the past five to six years. We launched social media for the hospitals in the Lifespan health system in 2009, and we were among the first 5 percent of hospitals to do so.
According to the Health Care Social Media List maintained by the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media, as of this writing, 1,563 hospitals now use social networks. The American Hospital Association reports there are 5,723 registered hospitals in the United States, so 27 percent of hospitals have jumped into social media. That's up 22 percent in five years.
Now if the assumption of a big hiring shift in the digital world holds true, and employees are bored after a few years then there could be a major shift in hospital social media. It means the people who did the research, developed the strategy, wrote the policies, launched the initiative and created the "social personality" for your hospital might look for a new challenge.
Hospital social media is unique in that we have to be personable and represent our organization well, but beyond that, we need to protect patient privacy, handle complaints appropriately and abide by all that is HIPAA. There are certainly plenty of great candidates for a social media role these days. Some have even had formal training in school--they are smart, talented and have the skills to promote your hospital in the social sphere. On the other hand, it will be a while before they can get up to speed because there's a huge learning curve for someone who isn't already in healthcare communications.
So where does that leave your hospital or system? Do you rely on one person for all your social media efforts, do you have a team or do you have an agency? If it's the first option, it's time for some serious succession planning. If you have a team, that shared workload will definitely help when one member of the team leaves and will be a huge asset in getting a new member of the team up and running. If you're working with an agency, then you've got no worries, until one of the agency staff handling your account leaves and then all bets are off.
Is your hospital prepared if your social media community manager follows in what seems to be the latest digital job trend? Has your hospital already experienced this and what did you do? We'd love to hear from you--how you handled the situation could help!
