Mammoth discounter Wal-Mart looks to be the big winner so far in a dismal Christmas season for retailers, happily reporting Wednesday that its holiday sales for the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve came in above company expectations of a 4-6 percent year-over-year increase. Rival Kmart, meanwhile, said its sales from Nov. 22 to Dec. 23 came in at the low end of expectations, but picked up considerably in the last few shopping days before Christmas, with winter apparel thanks to some cold days finally getting off the ground. And the ultimate in lazy-man's shopping destinations the Internet looks to be having a better season than the mall, as Yahoo announced that Thanksgiving-to-Christmas online sales through its portal were up 86 percent from last year.
But if U.S. consumers, cowed by hundreds of thousands of corporate layoff announcements, the still-shrinking economy and the aftershocks of Sept. 11, looked to convenience and price to meet their pared-down holiday shopping lists, that left a lot of retailers out in the cold. And even the last-minute push chain store sales surged 2.9 percent for the week ended Dec. 22, reversing the 0.5 percent decline recorded the previous week, according to the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi and UBS Warburg's weekly report wasn't nearly enough to turn retailers' seasonal fortunes around.
Overall, retail sales fell 4.5 percent for the month through Dec. 22 compared with the comparable period in November, Instinet Research's Redbook report said Wednesday. And Instinet had a glummer view of the past week, pegging the week's sales at a 0.6 percent drop (still an improvement from the 1.1 percent decline of the previous week).
All of which means if consumers have fallen in love with bargain-hunting, waiting longer to shop and shopping at cheaper stores, the post-Christmas sales season is going to be a shoppers' paradise for anyone with a few bucks left over. Many big chains kicked things off immediately with early openings and big specials Dec. 26, and Sears in particular was offering special promotions with discounts as deep as 85 percent, as well as zero-percent financing on some appliances.
Thus do supply and demand meet again, with the skittish consumer setting some very tough terms. The post-Christmas period has always been rife with discounts, as retailers look to unload the last of their leftover winter inventory on shoppers returning unwearable sweaters for store credit. This year the price cuts will go all the way to the bone and beyond, and there are hopes that the bargains (getting plenty of free publicity from economics writers) will draw enough mall traffic to get the job done.
It's going to hurt the Christmas season normally accounts for half of some retailer's annual profits, and boosting sales by cutting prices may be good economics, but it can be murder on the bottom line. But it beats getting stuck with a warehouse full of winter coats in March.

Hi all,
I have a baby arriving soon. I am just wondering what sleeping arrangements people have found best. We were thinking of having a moses basket next to the bed for quick easy access to the baby. Anyone used moses baskets? Are they any better/worse than the traditional bassinette? At what age do they move into a cot?
Posted 23 June 2012 - 10:41 AM
For DS1 I had a hammock next to the bed and he loved it. But he took 30 minutes to settle each sleep (and he fed three hourly night and day for six months). We spent a lot of our lives patting and shushing. He went into a cot at 5 months, and into his own room at six months. We did a solid week of controlled comforting at 5.5 months and he learnt to self-settle and has been sleeping 12 hours at night and self-settling for naps since.
DS2 hated hated the hammock from day 1, and went on a cot strike at 1 week old. From 1-8 weeks, he slept in our arms during the day, and in bed with us at night. In bed was great because I'd feed him before he really woke up, and so he got used to sleeping long stretches from an early age. At 8 weeks, he went back into his cot (he was waking me up, and I was waking him up in turn) and instantly started sleeping 6-7 hours in a row, and three weeks later is sleeping 7-10 hours in a row overnight. He still has all his day naps in a sling as I'm hardly about to spend 20-30 min settling him in order to achieve a 30-40 minute nap! (they don't start to consolidate day sleeps until 4-5 months).
I'm not much of a hippie, but I do think that having DS2 close 24/7 at an early age really helped 'set' his circadian rhythm early on. He got used to sleeping long stretches at a time overnight (because he was attuned with our rhythms, and because it was so easy to re-settle him before he actually woke), and I get to go about my life during the day regardless of when he 'should' and 'shouldn't' sleep.
Anyway, that's a really indirect answer to your question. I do think every baby is different, and its hard to know what 'product' to have. If I'd bought the hammock, or even a bassinet for this baby, I'd be annoyed at the money spent because he would NOT sleep on his own for essentially the first two months. And no amount of 'teaching' helps babies at that age, they are what they are, until about 4-5 months. And by the time he would, he was well big enough for his cot. And I wanted him on the other side of the room and he can be loud and grunty.
They are used for such a short time, can you borrow a moses basket or bassinet, and buy a cot? You will definitely need a cot eventually unless you plan on co-sleeping long term... And you really can put them in a cot from day 1 if you want.
Posted 23 June 2012 - 10:43 AM
I did the moses basket for the first baby...but with number two he just went straight into the cot.
Posted 23 June 2012 - 10:54 AM
i used a moses basket next to the bed with my baby, was great for peace of mind especially with first bub It only lasted us about 2 months, now I have moved her into a cot in our room a few metres from the bed. The basket would probably have lasted longer if she liked to be wrapped...
I loved it because it was so easy to move around, light weight and looks cute

DS was in a borrowed bassinette from Day 1, then into sidecar arrangement of cot, still is at 10 months.
I have a moses basket for my next one, but only because I stumbled across one for $20. I like the fact that they are lower than a traditional bassinette (and they look so nice ) because I can have it next to the bed and see into it without having to get up myself, but I would never have bought one at the normal price of 100's as bubs will only be in it for about 3 months or so - if that.
If I couldn't borrow a bassinette/moses basket, it'd be straight into the cot or co-sleeping.
Posted 25 June 2012 - 06:02 PM
I was leant a bassinet and a Moses basket. I've used the Moses basket in the living area for day sleeps, although at 6 weeks he's just about grown out of it (and I'm really not sure what I'm going to do!!, but thinking its a good chance to start getting DS used to a cot...), and the bassinet is next to the bed for night.
I love having both and it works really well for me, and more importantly for DS (well I assume it does! He doesn't comment on the situation but certainly does sleep well), but as a PP said, unfortunately it can depend on the baby.
If I didn't borrow both and had to buy myself - I'd certainly have a bassinet for next to the bed but probably couldn't justify the cost of the Moses basket for 6 weeks (unless I found a cheap secondhand one...).
Posted 25 June 2012 - 06:12 PM
I used a cane bassinette on wheels for several months for all my babies.
I loved the fact it could follow me around the house and stay beside me in the bedroom.
OP, if you buy one make sure it is long/wide/deep enough to last for awhile.
Posted 25 June 2012 - 09:01 PM
I bought a bassinet and my baby used it for 7 months or so, till she moved into her own room in the cot. Mine could detach like a moses basket and be carried around the house or if we went to family so she could sleep in it.
I'd certainly use it again if I had another baby, we don't have room for a cot in our room and I wanted her in my room as long as possible.

Charles Evans, the president of the Chicago Fed, has restated his extreme concern about a liquidity trap and tried to set out a bit more about how a price-level target would work.
His main concern was to address some cases in which running a price-path target could be stressful for a central bank. Notably he mentioned:
- A slow pick up in inflation
- An economy running closer to capacity and hence turning more rapidly to inflation
- Accelerating inflation at the time when it came to close the gap
My objective today has been a simple one: to discuss a policy tool that has received almost zero discussion, though it regularly comes out of careful analyses of mainstream economic models that we use to assess monetary policy options. We should put this policy tool on the table and debate its suitability to the current situation in the U.S.

Issue Position: Preparing Our Children for the Future - Education Reform
In 2001, I joined with a group of moderate Democrats to introduce the Public Education Reinvestment, Reinvention and Responsibility Act -- better known as "Three Rs." In the 107th Session, Congress passed and President Bush signed into law the "Leave No Child Behind Act," legislation that incorporates many provisions from our proposal. Specifically, the new law combines real reform, real accountability, and real resources to ensure that our children receive the best education possible.
Like the "Three Rs" bill, the "Leave No Child Behind Act" paves the way to significantly increase Federal funding for education. But this bill also makes sure that more of those dollars are targeted to the students and schools who need them the most.
In addition to increased funding and targeting, the bill grants more flexibility to States and school districts in using their Federal funds to meet their own needs, without jeopardizing Title I funding that is critical to serving disadvantaged students.
Finally, the new law incorporates many of the strong accountability provisions called for in "Three Rs." It ensures that schools and districts are making demonstrable gains in closing the achievement gap between low-income and more affluent students. And in addition to requiring tough corrective actions for chronically failing schools, it gives students in those schools the right to either transfer to a better public school or obtain supplemental services. It also requires States and school districts to publish meaningful report cards on the status of their schools and expands public school choice options for families.
While education reform has been enacted, it is now important that Congress approve enough funding each year to make the new reforms work. I have been disappointed by the Administration's education budget requests since the reforms were enacted. The Leave No Child Behind Act will only be effective if it is well funded. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I have fought to ensure schools receive sufficient resources.
I know that by working together, we can invest in our nation's children and ensure their future success and, ultimately, the success of America.

The Harness Racing Victoria Racing Appeals and Disciplinary (RAD) Board has given trainer Glenn Douglas and owner-stablehand Eric Anderson six months disqualification and severely reprimand a vet over the death of Talk TO The Hand at Bendigo in August last year.
Talk To The Hand had been engaged at the Bendigo meeting on August 21 but become ill on track and was assisted to a float. He was subsequently euthanized by Sarah Jalim, who was the on-course veterinarian for the meeting.
Dr Jalim failed to report the fact that the horse had been euthanized to stewards, who continued to make inquires about the horse the following day and were told by Douglas that he had ate and drunk up well when in fact he was dead.
Talk To The Talk had been buried next to a country road.
The RAD issued 11 charges against Douglas to which he plead guilty, including making false and misleding statements, refusing to answer questions from stewards and disposing of carcass without the permission of a controlling.
The board didn't issue penalties for each charge rather just handing Douglas a six-month disqualification for all 11 charges.
Anderson also plead guilty to six charges and was given six months disqualification.
It is a penalty seem light considering jockeys in the past couple of years have been given six months for false statements.
The vet Dr Jalim was charged with negligence after remaining silent when Douglas falsely implied to stewards Talk TO The Hand was still alive.
Dr Jalim was reprimanded on the condition she does not provide on-course veterinary services in the harness racing industry for a period of 12 months.
The HRV RAD Board noted Dr Jalim may also be required to answer to the Veterinary Practitioners Registration Board of Victoria.
The HRV RAD Board also noted Dr Jalim's forthright evidence and co-operation once approached by the HRV Stewards.
HRV Stewards are consider seeking written reasons from the HRV RAD Board with respect to the various decisions and could still appeal the penalties.

Highcliff students are parents of Peeps
The first-graders of Highcliff Elementary are proud to announce the adoption of about 90 fluffy, sugar-coated Peeps babies that were delivered this month.
"They were so excited to adopt these Peeps," said first-grade teacher Kim Harbaugh, who organized the project.
The first-graders at the school in Ross Township spent the morning naming, measuring and weighing their newly adopted marshmallow pets that "hatched" from plastic eggs on April 16.
Harbaugh, of Franklin Park, said that although the activities were fun, they also helped the students practice reading, writing and math skills.
Cooper Matthews, a first-grader in Harbaugh's class, cradled his yellow Peeps chick that he named Luke Russell Skywalker, while Bruna Gomes, a first-grader in teacher Sasha Pesanka's class, explained that her orange bunny, Emily, was a little smaller than the average Peep.
Fortunately, Harbaugh said, once the students adopted and named their marshmallow friends, they lost all interest in eating them.
Landon Schmidt, 6, said he had no plans to eat his purple chick. He just wanted to "play with it and snug it."
And, he said, "the fact that they don't respond when you ask them a question," was the hardest part of being a Peep parent.
Students filled out the paperwork needed for new babies for their Peeps adoptees, created lists of instructions for baby sitters and wrote notes to the principal when their chicks or bunnies were reprimanded for tattling.
"Parenthood sometimes is tough," Harbaugh told her class.

Valley golfer Clark dedicates senior season to grandfather
With every center-cut drive that skids down the fairway and winding birdie putt that drops into the hole, Bill Clark gives a nod to the sky.
The Valley senior golfer has dedicated his senior season to his grandfather, Bill, who died in April at age 90.
"That's my motivation," Clark said. "I mean, I'm a senior and it's my last year playing, but my main motivation is my grandfather. When I played (in the sectional tournament), I played for him. I went to his gravesite the night before."
Clark will try to qualify for his first WPIAL championship appearance Tuesday when he plays in the Class AAA semifinal tournament at Seven Oaks Country Club in Beaver.
The top 12 finishers advance to the WPIAL Class AAA championship Oct. 3 at Fox Chapel Golf Club.
Clark strives to make family members proud. He said his grandfather taught him the game. His father, John, is Valley's former coach.
"We always played together," Clark said of his pap.
Clark shot a 2-over-par 74 last week to tie Shady Side Academy's Troy Berglund for medalist honors at the Section 8-AAA tournament at Saxon Golf Course.
Now, redemption awaits in the semifinal round. Last year, Clark shot 79 to get into a four-man playoff in the semifinal at River Forest Country Club — where he works, parking and cleaning carts.
"I feel like, the way I am playing, if I putt well, states might be in my future," Clark said. "I am taking it day by day. I like how I am playing."
Clark tied for low honors at the Westmoreland County Coaches Association Tournament earlier this season (77), but lost on a scorecard playoff at Latrobe Country Club.
Will Wears, Arnold Palmer's grandson, edged Clark for the title.
Who knows what happens if the two play extra holes?
"I think my swing is more under control," Clark said. "I am hitting a draw now, and that's going well. I am hitting more greens. I used to hit a fade, but not I feel like I can shape shots a little better."
Knoch will have a section-leading three players in today's field: Stefan Carlsson, Josh Bartley and Austin Miller.
"Austin is a nice surprise for us," Knoch coach Rob Voltz said. "He put together his best round of the year (in the sectional tournament). He was excited about it. He shot a 41 on the front nine and was all stressed out. But he made it."
Another semifinal, at The Links at Spring Church, will feature five local players: Fox Chapel's Charlie Friend, Jorden Alfery and Patrick Sheerer, Kiski Area's Adam Robison and Plum's Andrew Reynolds. The top 12 advance to the finals.
A third semifinal will be played at Cranberry Highlands.

S&w 915
Looking into buying one, anything I need to know before I buy?
How to read a manual, how to safely shoot. :)
Never liked the safety/decock on the slide. It always interfered when racking slide. Outside of that it was a nice pistol.
S&W 915 is an economized version of the 5906 but has the aluminum frame. Never handled one but they have a good rep, as do all of the third generation versions of the Model 39/59. I guess it all depends on the price and the condition of the gun you're looking at. And considering price, have you looked at the 5906 and alloy framed 6906? They go for $300-$350 at CDNN (LE trade-in) and other places.

There will be a pretty strong Yorktown presence at one of the nation's premier collegiate lacrosse programs for years to come.
I just got off the phone with Yorktown attackman Kevin Interlicchio, the 12th-ranked junior in the nation by Inside Lacrosse Magazine.
Moments before our conversation, Interlicchio gave an oral commitment to accept a scholarship offer from Johns Hopkins. Interlicchio's commitment came tonight shortly after his return from a visit to Hopkins where he met with coach Dave Pietramala. After being recruited by many of the nation's top programs, Interlicchio narrowed his choices to Hopkins and North Carolina.
Yorktown's Kevin Interlicchio, left, the 12th-ranked junior in the nation by Inside Lacrosse Magazine, gave an oral commitment earlier tonight to Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala after returning from a visit to Hopkins earlier today. (Journal News file photo)
After reaching his decision tonight, Interlicchio informed best friend and next-door neighbor John Ranagan. Within seconds, Ranagan came over to Interlicchio's house where he playfully tackled him in celebration. The two will be teammates at Hopkins for three years.
Ranagan, a senior midfielder for Yorktown and the 35th-ranked senior in the nation, orally committed to Hopkins in June. Yorktown head coach Dave Marr and assistant Rob Doerr are also former Hopkins stars.
I conducted a Q&A with Kevin on his decision and will put it up here as soon as I get on a computer. (I'm writing this on my Blackberry.) So check back for that later tonight, folks. And in the meantime, be sure to weigh in with your thoughts.
What were the deciding factors in selecting Hopkins?
John Ranagan was a big influence on my decison. He's been my best friend since we were old enough to walk, and he's my neighbor, so right after I told him, he was in my room.
The campus and facilities were incredible. Coach Petro is awesome. He really knows the game and his players very well. Obviously, Homewood Field is amazing. The tradition that Hopkins has is unbelievable and that is something that I really wanted. It's something like Yorktown — rich in tradition.
And of course, the fan base. Hopkins lacrosse is the biggest sport on campus and the fans come out every game to support the team.
My coaches at Yorktown also had a influence on my decision. They never tried to push me towards one college or another, but the things that they have taught me so far, have all helped me make my decision to attend Johns Hopkins. I'm sure Coach Marr, and Coach Doerr always had a little hope though.
What schools did you visit and what schools were your finalists?
I visited Princeton, Hofstra, Duke, UNC and Hopkins. It came down to UNC and Hopkins. All the schools were incredible though.
How many schools would you say contacted you?
About 25 schools.
When did you reach your decision?
I reached my decison as soon as I left Hopkins today. I knew that Hopkins lacrosse was something that I wanted to be a part of, and it was a special place. I called Coach Petro when I got home.
Could you talk a little bit more about just how big a factor the fact you will be playing with John Ranagan at Hopkins for three years was in your decision?
It really is going to be fun being with John again. It did affect my decision. Hopefully when the time comes, we will be able to represent Yorktown in a NCAA championship game, but obviously, we would much rather represent Yorktown in a state championship game right now.
Are you relieved to have the process overwith and did you enjoy weighing the pros and cons of some of the top programs in the nation?
It is a relief to be done with the process. It was awesome while it lasted though. It was a great time seeing some of the finest institutions in the country. The process still isn't over though. Of course my grades, as well as John's, have to stay above average because as well as having great lacrosse, Hopkins is also know for its great academics.

The buyers, who mainly bought the properties as investments during the height of the island's recent and now-ended property boom, are suing Athens-based Alpha Bank, property developer Alpha Panareti, as well as a number of financial advisers, according to the Sunday Times.
As reported, the High Court ruled in November that the buyers could have their cases heard and decided in a British court rather than in Cyprus in certain circumstances, paving the way for the case to proceed.
That case involved buyers who are keen to take legal action against Alpha Panareti Limited, headed up by entrepreneur Andreas Ioannou, and Roseberry Overseas Property Limited.
According to The Times, a similar hearing, to determine whether those with grievances against Alpha Bank – Greece's second largest bank – will take place in February.
"The linked cases could come to trial in October," the Times reported yesterday.
It said the law firm involved in the case, representing the investors, is the London-based Highgate Hill firm, and it quoted a senior partner at the firm, Katherine Alexander-Theodotou, as saying that two clients "had committed suicide because of the stress" of their failed Cyprus property investments.
Alpha Bank and Alpha Panareti did not immediately respond to International Adviser's requests for comment. However, The Times reported that Alpha Bank, though declining comment, was understood to be planning to "fight the claim vigorously". It said Alpha Panareti and Ioannou also rejected the claims against them.
Swiss franc mortgages
The matter of the UK investors who lost money in their Cyprus property investments has been rumbling along for years, fuelled by the sheer number of individuals involved – some estimates range above 1,000 – and the amounts of money they allege they have lost (£20m is the Sunday Times's figure for those seeking to sue in High Court).
Lawyers, politicians and a number of crusading newspapers have become involved, including The Times and Sunday Times; the Cyprus-based Cyprus Property News; and the Northern Echo, a newspaper in County Durham, where a number of the investors caught up in the saga live.
A common element of many of the claims against the banks, developers and advisers is that the mortages were taken out in Swiss francs – often, the investors allege, without their knowledge. As the Cyprus property market collapsed and the value of the Swiss currency soared, the investors found their investments worth far less than they had paid.
Eventually the banks started issuing writs and termination notices on those who had defaulted on their mortgage repayments, and investors responded by hiring lawyers, contacting their members of Parliament and the European Parliament, and demonstrating outside the offices of Alpha Bank in London.

When adults do the things that kids do
I don't see what's so funny about this video. I see adults behaving like this all time. Like in the Georgia Straight office.
I think I've seen music editor Mike Usinger do that "Help!" thing while trying to take off a hoodie.
I'm pretty sure art director Janet McDonald has asked for a blue cup.
And I've done the lying on the table thing. (In fact, I'm doing it right now as I type this.)
So are you saying we're immature? Well, you started it. I'm telling. MOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

Nine Steps To Take Now To Prepare For The Perfect Storm Of Civil Unrest
By Gaye Levy
August 2, 2012
According to an Army field manual "In these modern times, demonstrations, civil unrest, public disorder, and riots happen for a number of reasons.
Some of these reasons are economic hardships, social injustices, ethnic differences (leading to oppression), objections to world organizations or certain governments, political grievances, and terrorist acts. An event can be triggered by a single cause or a combination of causes."
The manual (FM 3-19.15) further states that "gatherings in protest are recognized rights of any person or group, regardless of where US forces may be operating. This fundamental right is protected under the Constitution of the US."
These are interesting if not downright frightening times. To all but the most ignorant, government and elected officials have sold out to corporations with deep pockets and hidden agendas. The tenets of freedom from tyranny are being challenged on a daily basis.
In addition, not a day goes by that a new financial or consumer scam comes in to the public eye, further eroding our trust in a system that was at one time steeped in honor and trust.
In addition to the challenge of a corrupt system of governance, we have massive unemployment and underemployment in all age groups. Cities, counties and even countries are bankrupt or close to it. Health care costs are out of control as are prescription drug costs.
The food supply is being manipulated for the profit of greedy corporations.
Added to all of this dismal and gloomy news is the reality that sustained droughts have destroyed crops and is resulting in the premature slaughter of farm animals due to projected shortages in feed. And finally, we have an election year where neither mainstream candidate has the guts to speak the truth.
The Perfect Storm is Brewing
The Rest…HERE

Breaking down UCLA's matchup against Cal at the Rose Bowl (Saturday, 7:30 p.m., ESPN2):
The worst game of quarterback Brett Hundley's freshman season came in UCLA's blowout loss to Cal last season. He threw four interceptions and, for the first time, showed his youth and inexperience. Up against an injury-torn secondary this time, Hundley should be able to move the Bruins' offense up and down the field with ease. Even with Jordon James out, UCLA shouldn't see any drop-off at running back with Paul Perkins getting the start. He should excel up against Cal's league-worst rush defense. Cal's freshman quarterback Jared Goff can sling it, especially with two of the league's best receivers at his disposal in Bryce Treggs and Chris Harper. The Bears will put up some big yards, but points may be a different story. EDGE: UCLA
No team in the Pac-12 has allowed nearly as many sacks as Cal has, so UCLA's pass rushers should have a field day in this one. Anthony Barr had two sacks in the second half against Utah and could find that same success again. With Ellis McCarthy likely out at end, freshman Eddie Vanderdoes could have his breakout game. And with a newfound confidence on the back end, UCLA's secondary is playing better than many expected out of a group with just four starts. Cal's defense, on the other hand, is a mess, with injuries ravaging through the team's depth at linebacker and cornerback. There is potential to create turnovers, like it did last season against UCLA, but that might be Cal's only hope on defense. EDGE: UCLA
Cal senior kicker Vincenzo D'Amato is probably the Pac-12's best at the position, missing just one attempt in 12 tries. He also has made a 40-plus-yard field goal in each of his last three games. UCLA kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is finding his consistency, but D'Amato definitely has a leg up at this point. The Bears' freshman punter, Cole Leininger, has also been a tick better than UCLA freshman Sean Covington. EDGE: Cal
Jim Mora openly admitted this week that he, his coaching staff, and his players all lost focus before last season's blowout at Cal. With no college experience, Mora said that he wasn't accustomed to the idea that one loss likely ends any non-SEC team's chances of winning a national title. Now, with the loss to Cal from last season fresh in his mind, there's no concern of UCLA losing focus this week. Expect the Bruins to be hyper-focused and to surgically pick apart Cal with a good vertical gameplan. Cal coach Sonny Dykes wasn't around last season, and probably won't get the opportunity to match coaching wits with Mora if UCLA challenges Cal's secondary early and wins. EDGE: UCLA
The confidence of having beat UCLA a year ago should give Cal some swagger to work with in this one, but redemption should prove to be the stronger force in this one. UCLA was thoroughly embarrassed in this game last season, and despite the fact that much bigger games lie ahead on their schedule, the Bruins aren't likely to slip up again. UCLA is right on the cusp of the top 10, while Cal is fighting to stay out of the Pac-12 cellar, so expect the Bruins to try and make a statement early. If they do, Cal's young quarterback might not have the wherewithal yet to orchestrate a comeback on the road. EDGE: UCLA
Cal's wide receivers vs. UCLA's secondary: Chris Harper has been one of the nation's best wide receivers, averaging 111 yards per game so far this season, and fellow wideout Bryce Treggs isn't far behind. They headline a group of wide receivers that UCLA defensive coordinator Lou Spanos said is the best the Bruins have faced this season. Anthony Jefferson, Ishmael Adams, and the rest of UCLA's secondary proved a lot against Utah, picking off quarterback Travis Wilson six times. But Cal will be waiting for a slip-up from the inexperienced group.
PREDICTION: UCLA 52, Cal 28
Cal's up-tempo, high-powered offense should be able to stretch out UCLA's defense and put up some yards. But up against Brett Hundley and Co., the Bears' defense is significantly overmatched and will probably give up its fair share of big plays on Saturday. Expect fireworks early from both teams, but once the action settles down, UCLA's talent and focus should show through in a big way.

Marinated Chicken Breasts With Mozzarella
Recipe by Lainey39
This is a wonderful way to fix chicken breasts so they are healthy but still taste good. The chicken turns out very moist thanks to the marinating time. Basil, known to ancient Greeks as the royal herb, adds a bright summery flavor to this Mediterranean-influenced dish. Recipe is from Woman's Day.
Top Review by nbsterling
Excellent, healthy meal that's quit simple to make!! I used Uncle Ben's Wild Rice mix and added the package mix that comes with the rice and added the broccoli and scallops immediately to steam the veggies. Mmmm! 5-stars!!

~David Schindel, College Counselor, Sandia Prep School, Albuquerque, New Mexico
"Over the last 22 years I have been using
Rugg's Recs
as a quick, reliable initial reference to evaluate college academic departments at all competitive levels. With the plethora of fine college guides available it is hard to decide what to include in one's library.
This one has proved invaluable as a first step for me. As an independent counselor to students around the country I have noticed that most high school guidance offices have this handy guide. It is particularly helpful once the student has an academic concentration in mind.
Even esoteric majors like Music Therapy, Health Services Administration, Arabic, Entomology and Forensic Sciences are ranked by college. At first I was not sure if the colleges were just listed because they were simply courses offered in the college catalog.
No, they are chosen to be included because Rugg has implemented a comprehensive system of researching that combines statistical analysis with direct communication with hundreds of counselors and teachers around the country. He is able to sift and sort the objective with the subjective. Colleges are always evolving from year to year, department to department. It is a Herculean task to measure the strength of an academic department every year since faculty moves on. But Rugg seems to fairly well identify the dedicated and involved faculty that works hard to provide a substantive level of education and training to students pursuing degrees in those disciplines..."

SLUGS and snails and puppy dogs tails aren't a combination you would choose to mix up a delicious potion – and gardens are no different. Many gardeners dread the day they check on their beloved cabbages to find a patchwork of holes nibbled through the would-be luscious leaves, or narrowly avoid crunching a snail as they pick the summer's strawberries.
The slimy critters are guests nobody wants at the party, but there is no hard and fast agreement on the best ways to prevent the unwelcome additions showing up uninvited.
Andrew Hole, 52, who runs Andrew's Garden Magic in Allt-yr-Yn, knows all too well the dangers slugs and their ilk can wreak on a garden.
He said there are various ways to protect your plants, but none of them are foolproof.
"Oatmeal is one way", he said. "Any old oatmeal will work, like Quaker Oats. It dries them out a little bit and they have a natural death. Another option is to put little bits of slate around plants; slugs and snails don't particularly like that. You can also put copper bands around plant pots and they don't like crawling over them."
One option sounds more like a potential trap for the Homer Simpsons among us, but it seems that slugs and snails enjoy a drink like the best of us.
"You can use a beer jar, " Andrew recommended. "If you dig a little hole and get a jam jar and put beer at the bottom, they are drawn towards it and fall in."
In the past he has found Guinness to be particularly effective, he said.
Mr Hole said he was not sure whether any studies had conclusively shown that slugs and snails have a homing instinct but that personal observations suggested that to indeed be the case. He recommends that if you want to rehome a snail, leave it a good distance away from your plants. 100 metres away should do the trick, but make sure you don't make any enemies with your neighbours by accidentally presenting them with some new additions.
"I used to work in Cardiff and we had a courtyard at the back covered in slugs and things. We tried the beer trap which usually worked the best. Or we tried to throw them as far as possible away."
But although salt is famous as a way to kill the animals, he would not recommend it. "There are more humane methods," he said.
And many do their best to avoid poison as well, as aside from destroying pests it can have unintended consequences. For example, if a bird were to catch a worm that had ingested some of the slug pellets or other poisons, it could damage the songbirds many love to welcome into their gardens. Equally, for those wanting to protect vegetable gardens, poison is not something most of us want with our lettuce leaves. With lots of traditional ways to keep your garden safe there is no need to fear an invasion of creepy crawlies.
But if you have greenfingered leanings then now is the time to choose your weapon, as this time of year is prime slug season.
"It seems to be mainly this time of year," Andrew said. "It's usually a bit too cold in the winter and sometimes it's a bit too hot and dry for them in summer. It's usually April, May, June that they're more prevalent. They're a bit more active and at the same time it's often quite damp outside. You tend to have a lot of overhanging plants starting to grow, providing a little bit of cover."

After a nice little flurry of selling, we stabilized and turned back up. But with volume so light and no strong emotions about all you can do right now is day trade for pennies.
Breadth is quite poor at better than 3-to-1 negative and all major sectors are down with precious metals and oil leading the weakest.
We are already rolling back over as I write and I just don't see the buyers making much of push. Many are done for the year and those that are left aren't big institutions looking to build long-term positions.
I'm spending my time doing some administrative tasks while I contemplate the year ahead. What I found most striking about the market this past year was how many aspects of trading have shifted. Pure technical analysis has been much tougher to apply and the momentum style of trading that has been popularized by Investor's Business Daily has not been an easy approach. The nature of the movement in the market is different, with more low-volume V-shaped action and more sudden overnight movements.
What I have found most difficult in 2011 was that the market was much more focused on macroeconomic events that rendered individual stock picking must less important. Market timing has been what has mattered most and more often than not the big moves don't occur intraday.
I often wonder if it is the growth in high-frequency and computerized trading that has made the market more focused on macro matters or is the focus causing the computers to become more dominate? Whatever the cause-and-effect relationship may be, it is clear that the market does not trade like it did before the crash in 2008-2009.
Unfortunately, I don't think we will even see a return to the old days. We have lost too many individual investors and the problems of unemployment, weak housing and a lousy economy have robbed us of the spirit that used to make trading so dynamic.
In any endeavor it is necessary that we adapt as conditions change and that will be the challenge for us in 2011. I'm confident that the opportunities will be there, but to exploit them we may have to think differently. It sure would be nice to have a market back like we had in the good old days, but if this job was easy we couldn't become rich doing it.

Justin Timberlake sings Otis Redding to Obama
The headline above couldn't get any more cool-dad if it tried – what (other than a clearance sale at a North Face store) could possibly be more "cool dad" than white-boy-soul impresario Justin Timberlake singing Otis Redding to cool-dad-overlord President Obama?
The short clip is part of a much longer show highlighting Memphis soul at the White House. Timberlake hails from Memphis, as do Booker T. Jones, Mavis Staples, and, um, Ben Harper – all of whom played the special showcase.
Look closely and you can even see the President do "cool dad" dance moves while sitting down! Is there anything he can't do*?

text: Seat belts save lives, so buckle up By Nicholas Ransbottom, West Virginia State University September 21, 2012 Story Share Courtesy photo Thousands of lives are lost each year from drivers and passengers failing to wear their seatbelts. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The death of George Washington High freshman Drew Morton has taken quite a toll on his friends, family and the community. Morton was killed in a car accident involving fellow freshman and football teammate Reed Deer on Sunday.Deer was driving on Quarry Ridge Road when he lost control of the car, which then hit a pole and tree and tumbled over the hillside. Reed was wearing his seat belt and was uninjured; Morton, however, was not. His body was ejected from the car, and he later died of his injuries.In a Sept. 18 Charleston Gazette article, Lt. Shawn Williams of the Charleston Police Department said he firmly believes that Morton would be with us had he been wearing his seat belt. "This is a textbook case of why seat belts should be used," he said.And he is absolutely right.According to the National Safety Council, a study released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2010 showed that seat belts saved more than 75,000 lives from 2004 to 2008. The NSC also reported that 42 percent of vehicle passengers killed in 2007 were not wearing a seat belt. Additionally, a 2009 NHSTA study estimated that more than 1,600 lives could have been saved and 22,000 injuries could have been prevented if 90 percent of drivers and passengers in each state wore a seat belt. (The national average is 85 percent.)NHTSA's famous "Click It or Ticket" campaign provides the truth to a few seatbelt related myths. For example, many believe that a seat belt can cause you injury in a crash. This is false; while almost everything in your car can harm you in a crash, your seat belt is one of the few things that helps you.Another myth debunked? That if you're not traveling far or driving fast, you don't require a seat belt. In actuality, most fatal crashes happen within 25 miles from home and at speeds of less than 40 mph.How about one more? The myth that if your car has airbags, then a seat belt is unnecessary is wrong. Airbags are actually designed to protect buckled occupants; if you're not wearing your seat belt, airbags become less effective and can even become deadly.Teens are the worst offenders when it comes to unbuckled seat belts. It takes between two and three seconds to buckle up, yet many teens are more willing to risk their lives than to do so. Why? Do you not see how important seat belt safety is? Do you not understand the damage that can happen because you're too lazy to take three seconds to buckle your seat belt?We can only hope that some good can come from the tragedy of Drew Morton's death and that teens and adults alike can be reminded to put on their seat belts.Visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information on how to drive safely. And remember, it only takes three seconds to save your life.

Colonoscopy with only painkiller?
Is it possible to have a colonoscopy with a painkiller but no added sedative? I truly hate the experience of IV sedation--for the same reason that I hate drinking to intoxication and then dealing with the hangover. I also like to remember my experiences. (I had to consult 5 cataract surgeons before I found one who would let me skip the Versed, but it was worth the effort. The surgery was painless with topical anesthesia and I felt fine afterwards, and I didn`t need to spend the rest of the day recovering from sedatives.)
There are many possible combinations of drugs that are used to sedate patients undergoing colonoscopy. A typical combination is midazolam (Versed), which is a sedative, and fentanyl, a painkiller. Another approach is to use a sedative/anesthetic agent called propofol. Cataract operations are quite easily done without sedation because with modern surgical techniques there is little to no pain when topical anesthetic drops or a nerve block are used.
Topical anesthesia is obviously not an option for a colonoscopy, so the intravenous drugs administered are more important. I believe it is possible to have a colonoscopy with painkiller only and no sedation. It might be a less comfortable experience. You might be given fentanyl, or similar drug only. You need to discuss this with the anesthesia provider. I suggest that you not limit the anesthesiologists options during the procedure. In other words you might start with the approach you are describing but allow the anesthesiologist to administer other drugs, including sedatives, if things don't go as well as planned with painkillers only.

Buddhism has captivated many millions of people around the world, its vitality and adaptability enabling it to transform the civilizations of India, Southeast Asia, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan, and also become a lively component in the cultures of Europe, Australia, and the Americas. But have you ever wondered how a religion that doesn't even have a god could have accomplished this?
Now you have the opportunity to have your questions answered, as this series of 24 lectures by an award-winning teacher traces the history, principles, and evolution of a theology that is both familiar and foreign.
You'll learn the astonishing story of Siddhartha Gautama - who was to become the Buddha, or "enlightened one" - the Indian prince who abandoned wife, son, and a privileged life to seek the meaning of life and death, and whose "awakening" and subsequent teachings have since impacted the world as few others have.
And you'll learn what happened after his death, as his followers began to share his teachings about the "Four Noble Truths" and the "Path" to Enlightenment. You'll see how Buddhist beliefs underwent significant and even radical change, with different varieties of Buddhism having to take shape as those beliefs spread across India, Central Asia, China, Japan, and virtually every corner of the Western world, such as becoming more respectful of one's duties to family and ancestors in China or becoming reconciled with local deities in Japan.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

"Accessible and informative"
This a really good introduction to the subject. The narrator has a clear skill in making some of the complex cencepts of Buddhism (at least to a western mind) understandable. He is passionate about the subject, speaks clearly and his lectures have a good balance between 'story telling' and theory. I will be keeping this audiobook in my library to listen to again.

"Much ado about Nothingness."
This series of essays did a fantastic job of highlighting the differences between the various forms of Buddhism practiced today. As someone who came into these lectures with only a superficial knowledge of Buddhism, I was struck by just how many different interpretations of Buddhist teaching there are in the world. It makes the Protestant/Catholic divide look more like a small ditch in comparison.
The bits on Vajrayāna Buddhism were certainly the most memorable parts of the lecture, primarily due to the tradition's enigmatical style of teaching . Contrasting the esoteric tendencies of Vajrayāna with the relative simplicity of Zen is almost like comparing apples and oranges, but it's this rich diversity that I found to be the most compelling aspect of the study.
Professor Eckel's love of the subject shone through my speakers. He approached the lecture with a zest that I wish more of the Great Courses lecturers possessed. His diction is equal parts scholastic and conversational, with a genial loquaciousness that wouldn't sound out of place coming from the mouth of a Hotei statue.
"Informative, entertaining and personal"
Very informative lectures. The balance between being high level and providing too much information is well maintained. The author is clearly an expert on the subject, he draws from personal experience and tells us many anecdotes about his personal experience with Buddhism.

Informal and relaxed lecture style; very easy to listen to. I highly recommend this lecture series.
He is very passionate about the subject.
"Good Basic Overview"
I really enjoyed this course. The professor has a variety of engaging and interesting personal anecdotes that he adds to the lectures. This was a great introduction, so if you are looking for something really in depth, you probably won't like this as much. But great for someone who doesn't know much about Buddhism.
"good overview"
definitely the overview and history I was looking for.
now I have lots of ideas for other avenues of study
The author is exactly what every college professor should aim to be - passionate about his subject, knowledge, funny, and interesting to listen to. He goes through the basic tenets of Buddhism and discussed the different types. He even have great reading suggestions. I very much enjoyed learning about a subject that is not well understood in western culture.
"Great listen"
The instructor clearly has a passion for sharing Buddhism and putting it in lay terms. I'll definitely be revisiting this book/lecture series again!
"Fascinating course"
I really like this professor. He explains Buddhism in a very simple way but still goes in depth on it. I will be listening to this again and again.
Traverse the ages with this extraordinary introduction to the history of Buddhism. I thoroughly enjoyed the content, it's organization and most especially the speaker. Mr. Ekel is perfectly in tune with his audience and an obvious authority on the subject. Wonderful. Worst part was it didn't continue fot another 24 lectures! Thank you
"Annoyed at having to write so much to give a review, but"
The presentation is modest but steady and true. Well organized. Well worth the time. Word.
"A great look at the development of Buddhism"
I love this audible book. I wanted to broaden my knowledge of Buddhism whilst travelling around the country. The narrator brings the subject to life with his wealth of expertise in the subject. Full of stories of experience is different forms of Buddhism and how that's translated in his life. I would recommend this book as a good starting point and well worth your investment. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
"Detailed, knowledgeable and interesting"
An engaging lecturer who clearly knows his subject in great depth. Too much to absorb at one listen, I will be playing this one again.
Clear, cohesive, comprehensive and just the right level of challenge!
Great course, thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it.
"Informative, Thoughtful, Insightful, Funny!"
Profession Malcolm Eckel knows his subject inside and out. As a practicing Buddhist in the Zen Tradition I learnt much about Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism that was new to me. His presentation style is very much conversational and at times based on his own personal experiences of the many traditions and schools. Compassion and humor run through all his lectures. Would happily recommend to anyone interested in the subject.
It's hard to find a direct comparison. I have many books on Buddhism and they tend to be either very dry and academic or light touch descriptions of the practices and traditions of the various schools.
He clearly has a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the subject and a very definite sense of humor.
"Detailed and interesting"
It was incredibly fun to learn about Buddhism from someone who sounds like he is an authority and has so much enthusiasm.
How he gets excited, laughs, and punctuates facts with personal stories makes this easy to listen to.
You do have to pay a lot of attention because it is intricate and complex, but I would happily listen to this again and again.
"Wonderful, scholarly and entertaining overview of Buddhist tradition and its development."
This is a wonderful overview of the Buddhist tradition from the early traditions that gave rise to Buddhism in India right through to Buddhism in the US in the twentieth centuries.
It is not able to give in depth overview of every aspect of such a vast tradition in just 22 glad hour sessions but does focus on certain key periods. Early Buddhism in India, the development of separate schools, and more in depth on the Tibetan and Mahayana schools.
I really enjoyed the lecturers style, knowledgeable always, but also with a sense of lightness and humour. He clearly has a great deal of passion for his subject and some personal experience.
Can't recommend more for anybody confused by the myriad traditions, schools snd histories of Buddhism. That was definitely me and I have a much clearer understanding of the history and development now.
"A brisk romp through every facet of Buddhism"
This is a break-neck tour of the history of Buddhism in all its guises. Professor Eckel is very engaging, and talks briefly on just about every topic from art to all the variations practised today, in a factual though entertaining manner. For someone like me, looking for a more spiritual introduction, it wasn't ideal since it didn't go into any depth about the essential teachings of the Buddha. I much preferred "Buddhism for Beginners" by Jack Kornfield also available here.
"Very Informative"
Very informative and very insightful. Excellent if you want to gain a good understanding of the fundamentals of Buddhism.
A genuine and good overview of not only the history of Buddhism but also a brief overview of 'emptiness'.
Absolutely deserves it's sub title of a 'Great Course' - an astounding breath of knowledge shared in a truly accessible way. I hope there will be more...

BERLIN (Jul. 6)
The fate of the Jews in Germany depends upon whether or not the cabinet will be in a position to withstand the pressure of Adolph Hitler, but there is as yet no ground for panic, leaders of the Central Union of German Citizens of the Jewish Faith emphasized yesterday in a press conference.
Thus far, the Central Union is not disappointed in the cabinet of Chancellor von Papen, it was stated.
The spokesman for the Central Union pointed out, however, that the boycott agitation against the Jews is assuming greater proportions, while the number of anti-Semitic placards is showing a wider distribution in the provinces.
The propaganda calling for the ouster of Jewish officials is also growing stronger.
The Central Union, it was revealed, has thus far won fifty court decisions in suits it has brought in connection with the boycott agitation.
The Central Union leaders reported as a shameful fact that Jews advertise in the Nazi press for the purpose of attracting Nazi customers.
In Hamburg, it was revealed, a candy factory owned by a Jew, manufactures candy with a Nazi emblem.
There are two streets in Berlin, it was disclosed, where Jews are not permitted to settle or maintain businesses, Dr. I. N. Steinberg stated.

Rikki whose chiseled good looks are accented by dark mysterious eyes wins kudos wherever his interests lead him. Nothing attests to his versatility like his resume. He started his career by attending Arts Middle and High School with a concentration acting. His outlook on the Arts changed when his dance teacher Paulette Johnson took him to see a live performance of Alvin Ailey American Theater. Immediately he shifted his focus from acting to dance. After getting accepted into Pinellas County Center for the Arts High School dance program, he realized that in order for him to be a versatile artist he must learn all aspects of dance.

C.H. Robinson Displays Eco-CrateTM Sweet Corn Container and CantaBellaTM Melon at Fresh Summit
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc., one of the world's largest produce sourcing and logistics companies, will display its Eco-Crate™ sweet corn container and CantaBella™ melon at the Produce Marketing Association's Fresh Summit from October 26-28 in booth #3428.
Eco-Crate is a proprietary, patent-pending, fully recyclable sweet corn container that is made from recyclable plastic and weighs less than current container solutions. The Eco-Crate performs well in extensive post-harvest treatment of fresh sweet corn. Due to its overall design and material performance, up to 30% more crates can be loaded per truckload compared to conventional crates.
The development of the Eco-Crate began in April 2011 as a response to a number of issues and opportunities in the sweet corn category, ranging from food safety to handling of wooden and wax corn crates throughout the supply chain.
"Several surveys identified wood crates as the single most difficult and most injury-producing container at DC and store levels, both domestically and in Europe," said Daniel Whittles, director of grower programs and business development for Rosemont Farms, a C.H. Robinson Company. "Those handling the Eco-Crate at the various points of contact from packing to merchandising will be thrilled at the reduced hazard, thanks to the elimination of metal wire and splintered wood."
Exclusive seed development for Timco Worldwide, a C.H. Robinson Company, allows CantaBella™ to be a new entry into the melon category. Development of the melon began in 2008 with the intent of bringing flavor and a good eating experience back to the consumer. This cross between a traditional cantaloupe and the French melon, Charentais, allows for a sweeter, more consistent taste.
CantaBella has been trial grown in several regions ranging from high humidity to very dry, allowing CantaBella to be produced throughout the C.H. Robinson grower network. The exterior appearance will vary in color from light green to brilliant yellow and the skin will range from smooth to semi-smooth. The skin will also have the small presence of sugar lines which typically manifest on melons which have higher sugar content.
CantaBella, available October through May, has a strong harvest indicator allowing C.H. Robinson growers to know when the melon is ready to be picked. This results in a more consistent melon and favorable eating experience for the consumer.
"CantaBella will be unlike any other melon in the produce department," said Tim Colin, general manager of Timco Worldwide, a C.H. Robinson Company. "The sweet orange flesh and distinct aroma of the melon allows us to provide a favorable eating experience, more consistently, compared to other melons."
