Patrick Chambers
Head Coach
When you guys ad 35 seconds left and he (#23 Frazier) ended up shooting a three, was that the plan?
We put it in his hands, we do it all the time, and tell him to go and make a decision and he felt like that was the best decision. That's your best player. He has got to learn to make plays at the end of the game. So, if he feels that's the best decision, I'm going with him. He's got my support. We need to learn how to win those games, first time we've really been in one.
Did you chalk that up to inexperience, in that kind of situation?
As a coach, I work on it all the time. We do four-minute game situations. We do four-minute games all the time, and I don't want to do that. I don't want to make excuses for these guys. We've got to get it done. We've got to make free throws; we've got to take care of the ball at the end. Ole Miss played great. They're athletic, their tough, their big, but I felt like we shot ourselves in the foot. You've got to make free throws, you can't turn the ball over, and they were points of emphasis.
Summers (#32, Jarvis Summers) had twenty-seven for them. It seems like you tried to put a full team of guys on them, what was working so well today?
I just saw coach Kennedy; I said, "Look, where did this guy come from?" He hasn't done that all year. I'm looking at my stats, and your playing percentages. Your looking at stats and your going "okay, this guy drives the ball, he doesn't shoot threes". Four-for-five, and then he does that spin move twice for crucial baskets. He really was terrific. And he (Coach Kennedy) said, "The kid's a soldier. Kid plays so hard, you would love him" I know Andy (Coach Kennedy) from Cincinnati and I was at Villanova, but those kids you love, you need more of them.
They had a little bit more size than you, but you guys out rebounded them. What do you chalk that up to?
Working on habits. We worked on it two days in practice. We did some tough some tough drills and it was definitely a focal point because we knew how big and athletic they were and we knew how physical they were too. They're a very good offensive rebounding team, so we tried to find bodies, and make sure we put our own bodies on their bodies.
Is that an effort you can take away as a positive out of this?
I feel like we should have won the game. I think we've got to keep competing and keep getting better. There are no moral victories. They made the plays down the stretch we didn't. We have got to do a better job. I need to do a better job, so you can place the blame on me. I need to do a better job executing down the stretch and putting these guys in those situations in practice.
Q: You talk about the situation where it's the first time your where you loose a tough loss. What do you say to the guys?
A: We have to take more pride in practice and working on end of game situations. Usually when you do end of game situations, its at the very end of practice when you've been there, 2:15, 2:30, and the guys are a little tired, kind of looking up at the clock, "are we almost out of here?" we have to do a better job of closing out games. I said the same thing that I'm saying to you. There's no moral victories here. We should have won the game. We should have got it done. We work on the end of game situations all the time. CoachKennedy did a great job. Their players did a great job. They got offensive rebounds. They got drives. They got stops. They got rebounds. They executeddown the stretch. We need to do a better job. It's that simple.
Q: With that being said, after you said you've seen progression in this team, it seems like they keep improving?
A: no doubt about it. We're heading the right direction. That end of game speech wasn't an omen. We're headed in the right direction. We have to keep competing. We have to keep playing hard. This is the type of team that we can be. I just talked to them and I think we surprised them on how hard we played and how physical we were. And that's the way it has to be every single day, practice, games. We can't take steps back and those guys know it. They know it. I'm not going to allow it.
Q: would have a considered that a trouble spot coming in to the game? Were you surprised?
A: No. I thought we would get to foul line. I thought we'd make more free throws. I thought we'd get stops at the end and rebound the ball. It was a 2 minute perfect storm of where things went wrong. I thought we stayed aggressive, even with 35 seconds left, we went. We wanted to do it quickly just in case we missed. We wanted to get the offensive rebound and foul and maybe stretch the game a little bit. We have to do a better job. I have to do a better job. I have to put Tim in a better situation to do a better job.
Q: Can you talk about what you got out of Sasa?
A: I always said this to Sasa. When you are out for a year, it's going to take a little while to get used to the game speed. I felt like tonight for Sasa it slowed down. He really took his time and played at his pace. He's a thick guy, so play at your pace. I don't envision him getting 15 every night. But, I definitely see 10 and 7 and 12 and 6, somewhere around there. Anywhere from 8-12 points I think he is very capable of doing on anygiven night and I think that's who Sasa is going to be for us.
Q: Do you think he's going to be getting some starts coming up?
A: I like how we started the game. As you guys all know, the last 4 or 5 games we didn't start very well. So, when I looked up when we went to the media time out and it was 9-9. I said, "We beat that hurdle. We broke through."
Q: Mississippi came in shooting the 20% mark, how surprised were you?
A: Players make plays. I thought we could have done a better job in our zone. When you have a couple seconds to catch, spin the ball, and shoot, you need to make that shot. We need to play harder in the zone. That's why I went back to man and kind of kept mixing it up. I felt like we play much harder in the man than we do in the 2-3. But, they are a good team, a good coach. They made threes today. We make shots - that makes the game a lot more simple.
#23 Tim Frazier, Jr. Guard
Q: Do you take any solace in the fact that you guys played a hard game all night or is a loss a loss?
A: We played hard and I give Ole Miss a lot of credit because they played hard. It really came down to the last couple of possessions and they pulled it through.
Q: Talk about the job that Sasa [Borovnjak] and Jermaine [Marshall] did finding the bucket when you were trapped.
A: They were able to come through and make big shots. They both played well, we all played well making shots when they were needed.
Q: They were a bigger team than you but you beat them on the glass.What were you guys focusing on rebounding wise?
A: Our coach had prepared us well before the game as far as rebounding. Ole Miss is the top rebounding school so we focused on that and we were able to beat them on the rebounds.
Q: What did you tell the team in the locker room after this first really big gut wrenching loss?
A: We have another game on Wednesday. We get better and we watch film and focus on our staples. Rebounding is something we need to work on and keep getting better each day.
Q: Was that three point shot with 18 seconds to go the shot you were looking for going into that position?
A: That was the best shot I saw at the moment and I thought it was good.
Q: What can you guys learn from this game?
A: We just have to get better each day. We are going to watch film and learn from our mistakes and get better.
#21 Sasa Borovnjak, RS So. Forward
Q: Do you think your increased minutes affected your ability to shoot?
A: I just went out there and played with great confidence. I was in the right spot, my teammates shared the ball well and I just made the play.
Q: Have you been doing anything different in practice to get you more playing time?
A: We work hard every day. It's also about timing, Jon Graham is sick and I had to step up and play more minutes.
Mississippi Head Coach Andy Kennedy
Q: It seems like you were having some trouble getting to the basket?
A: That's kind of what our team does. We really struggle shooting the ball. Tonight was the best we shot from three all year and we actually made some free throws. We didn't get there enough. But, typically what we do we're pretty big and we're pretty athletic on the wing. We try to put pressure on the basket and we really made that an emphasis. We've had our shooting struggles early in the year. Tonight, I thought Jarvis Summers wastremendous. Both teams kind of mirrored each other in their philosophies. Obviously, they were trying to get ball screens for Frazier. He does it in a little different way. He's so jet quick and sometimes you lose him because he's small and you loose him in traffic. He is a tremendous player who I think really facilitated the game very well for them. We did it with Jarvis. We were just trying to get some penetration, which would force some help and try tocreate some open looks. It worked for us down the stretch. For us though, we were able to string together some stops, get some steals, and make some plays in the open floor. That's really how this team has gotten off to 7-1.
Q: Can you talk about the three point shooting?
A: Trust me that's an aberration. We have not shot the ball well at all. Jarvis Summers going 4 for 5. The kid has a lot of moxie. This is only the fourth or fifth start of his college career and to come in and play a quality opponent in an unfriendly environment, I think speaks volumes of him. He knocked down a big one down the stretch, made some plays for us. I thought most of the shots we took from three were step-in jumpers and being an SEC player you need to make SEC jumpers, meaning they are off penetration whichallowed us to get them off the rhythm of our offense. So, for the most part I thought they were clean looks. So, for a change, we knocked some down.
Q: Can you talk about your game plan going in, how to guard Tim Frazier and him giving the ball to Sasa and Jermaine?
A: I thought those big kids played very, very well. Sasa 15, is that his career high? I don't know. Had to have been, right? And that was all because of dribble penetration. He draws help and then he does a very good job of finding open guys. I thought the first half we did a decent job of corralling and that's the terminology that we try to use, just kind of bunch him where he can't get out and use his speed. And then try to make him shoot over the top of us because obviously we had a little bit of a size advantage and we wanted him to have to shoot over hands. So, in the first half, I thought we did a decent job. In the second half, because he was affective in finding those other guys, our bigs were a little bit late. They were a little more hesitant to help and as a result he got turned loose to basket and he was living on the foul line at the end.
Q: You talked about your size advantage a little bit but they seemed to keep up with you on the boards. What is it about the way they rebound?
A: I just thought they were tenacious. I give Pat's team a lot of credit. That was strictly effort in being tenacious and throwing bodies and walling up. They really probably had us out-weighed on the front line. We had to start trying to use our athleticism and quick them to the ball because many times we were sitting there waiting for the ball to come to us and they were getting all of those. I think we were getting out rebounded by about 10 with about 4 or 5 minutes to play. So, we had to come up with some big rebounds in order to have a chance to escape and that's what happened.

Who's That Strange Monkey in the Mirror?[ ... Read the full article ... ]
By NICHOLAS WADE
The New York Times
Published: July 26, 2005
Humans, the great apes and, probably, dolphins share an intellectual skill unusual in the animal world: they recognize their own reflections in a mirror.
Capuchin monkeys, a new study says, understand that the image in the mirror is not a stranger, but they don't know it's their own.
That ability seems to mark a bright line between these species and monkeys, who, scientists have long assumed, look into mirrors and see only strangers. But a monkey's reaction to its reflection is more complex than is generally assumed, said Frans de Waal of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center in Atlanta.
Dr. de Waal and his colleagues were able to test the widely held belief that monkeys see strangers in the mirror using two troops of tufted capuchin monkeys at the Yerkes Center that had never met each other.
The capuchins, the Yerkes team is reporting today, understood at once that the mirror image was not a stranger, even though they failed to recognize themselves in the image. The findings appeared last week in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Jamis/Sutter Home Cycling Team Update
Today, we're lucky to have a guest blogger: Phil Mooney from our Jamis/Sutter Home Professional Cycling Team! Phil is here to give us an update about the team's recent race.
Photo Credit: Jonathan Devich/epicimages.us
Based in and around Bend, Oregon, one of the most scenic and cycling-friendly cities in the United States, the six day Cascade Cycling Classic is regarded as one of the most beautiful stage races of the year. With a variety of stages designed to expose every cyclists' weakness, including a prologue, time trial, criterium and even mountain top finish, it is no wonder the race is also regarded as one of the most challenging of the year.
Entering the Stage 2 Crooked River Time Trail, several Jamis/Sutter Home riders were well positioned in the overall standings and looking to make their mark on the race with a strong performance. At 16 miles in length, the out and back course meanders its way along the banks of the Crooked River. With its mix of sinuous roads and short climbs, it gives every rider a formidable challenge. As he accelerated down the start ramp and up to full speed, Luis Amaran immediately knew he was feeling good. His legs were a blur as he ticked over the pedals of his Jamis Xenith T2. Luis absolutely flew around the course, making quick work of each roller and maintaining his speed through every twist in the road. As the finish approached, Luis lowered his head for one last all-out effort. As he scorched across the line, the clock showed him with a time of just 31:19, good enough for the win by almost 21 seconds! Even more impressive, Luis had put enough time into his top rivals to move into the overall lead by five seconds!
"I am happy to feel so good at such a large race against many of the best time trialists in the country", said a visibly elated Amaran, "I have been very good at time trials in the past, but today was one of my best and to take the leaders jersey is a great feeling." Jamis/Sutter Home's director Sebastian Alexandre says the team will fight to defend the jersey over the coming stages. "There are several very difficult stages ahead, but we have a strong team here and all the guys are ready to work for Luis, so we will ride like leaders and keep Luis in the jersey as long as possible."

Just read the story on Renatta Frazier [Dusty Rhodes, "Redemption story," April 22]. I fully sympathize with her and her family, but why waste money on those diamonds? From what I see, the family needs a nice home and perhaps a college fund for the five kids. How wasteful! I cannot believe she even mentioned the rings. I would be ashamed to say that I squandered money on such frivolous bling bling!
Martina Williams
Carol Manley's article is a bunch of blather ["The lost promise of 'Take Our Daughters to Work Day,' " April 22]. At my workplace, there's a pretty even balance between women and men bringing their children to work. So those kids are just as likely to think that Dad's job consists of doughnut holes and soda machines as they are Mom's. Granted, no child's visit to a parent's office is going to accurately reflect a typical workday. But Ms. Manley is quite unjustified and frankly sexist in implying that bringing our sons to work has diluted the importance of the day. She should stop her whining and focus on making the day more productive and educational for all children.

I enjoyed seeing the story about J.R. "Bud" Fitzpatrick in the current issue of Illinois Times [Bob Cavanagh, "History Talk," April 22]. He was truly a Springfield original. However, your writer neglected to mention that his large collection of photographs, scrapbooks, and memorabilia was donated to Lincoln Library's Sangamon Valley Collection by his daughter, Betsy Burton, after Mr. Fitzpatrick's death. I spent many pleasant hours visiting with Betsy as our staff sorted through this fascinating collection of Springfield history. Anyone interested in knowing more should contact Lincoln Library's Sangamon Valley Collection at 753-4900.
Edward J. Russo,
Former Springfield City Historian
Editor's note: Shortly after his death, J.R. Fitzpatrick was the subject of a cover story in Illinois Times. The profile, published on July 8, 1982, drew on more than seven hours of taped interviews of Fitzpatrick conducted by the Oral History Project at Sangamon State University (now the University of Illinois at Springfield). More than 1,100 interviews are included in the university's Oral History Collection.

Bid to reinvent Darlington Arts Centre under private-public partnership plan
New private sector plans could transform Darlington Arts Centre into a boutique hotel and space for cultural organisations including Theatre Hullabaloo.
Darlington Borough Council announced plans at the end of last year to close and sell the arts centre and "use the proceeds from the sale for investment in a new performance venue in the town centre".
The current proposal, being put forward by investors Andy Bottomley and Graham Thrower, would see the building being converted into a hotel, a "destination restaurant", gallery space, multi-use venue and an area for new businesses.
Children's company Theatre Hullabaloo, which is currently based in Darlington Arts Centre, would have its facilities upgraded under the plans.
Thrower said: "Our proposal is at an early stage and there remains much to do to qualify and develop the proposition. However, our aim is to explore the potential to create a commercial arts centre of true national importance and an arts presence of which the town of Darlington can be justifiably proud. And crucially it should be one that, on completion, is commercially viable on an ongoing basis rather than being reliant upon further state or local financial support.
"What we ask for at this stage is simply the time and space to develop the project and to continue to explore the complex financing issues surrounding it," he continued.
Thrower added that Darlington Borough Council's offer to the investors to consider providing a six-month window for them to develop the project was "clearly helpful in this regard."
Alison Clark-Jenkins, regional director for Arts Council England, described the proposal as "exciting". She said the plan "seeks to explore how private investment and public partnership might provide successful new art and cultural venues - this approach is something we are keen to investigate".
The council has estimated that the proposed scheme could create up to 100 jobs and has agreed to defer selling the site for six months in order to enter negotiations.
However, these discussions will not prevent the arts centre in its current form from closing this July. Rather, councillors have put back a decision on the sale while they look at this private sector commercial bid in detail. Work to relocate the arts centre's current tenants, including Theatre Hullabaloo, is ongoing.
Nick Brewster, chair of community organisation Darlington for Culture, which was set up in 2010 to protect arts in the town, said his take on the development was "guarded optimism".
He explained: "I think the business model is basically to try to put Darlington onto the cultural map nationally and, in that way, feed the hotel and restaurant through the activities that they will draw to the arts centre. Now, that looks to me to be quite a big ask.
"The fact of the matter is the arts centre will still close on July 7, nothing will change that, and whatever these people are proposing, it is not a community arts centre."

Post–Secondary Programs in Michigan
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act, all colleges and universities are required to make accommodations for students who are deaf and hard of hearing. Even so, some colleges have more experience than others, or have more access to interpreters, CART providers, and other accommodations. Some of Michigan's colleges attract more deaf and hard of hearing students than others for a variety of reasons.
When choosing a college, first consider your career goals. What do you want to do, and which colleges will give you the education you need to do that?
Second, consider support services. If the college you wish to attend has less experience in serving deaf and hard of hearing students, you might need to advocate for yourself. This is a valuable skill to learn! This article may help.
Third, consider community. If a strong Deaf Community is important at the college you attend, your best bet is a community college that has an Interpreter Training Program (click here to see our list), or one of the larger universities in the Lower Peninsula.
If you are not interested in college, but want a good career and hands–on learning, consider MCTI.
Michigan Career and Technical Institute (MCTI)
At MCTI you will learn the skills to get a job in computers, cabinet making, automotive technology and many more career fields!

These may be the trendy colours of the season, but there dresses in other fashion-forward hues, such as pale pink, which is the case in the super soft Gramoe dress. This very sweet, straight chiffon gown is cinched at the waist, or Granada dress, with the two-piece effect in the Georgette skirt with a sensual leg-revealing slit.
The designs include many materials and shapes that will make you stand out at your next big events: deep plunging backs and leg slits enhance feminine sensuality without renouncing elegance, crisscross, asymmetrical and halter necklines, floral embroidery on chiffon, tulle embroidered with colour-thread detailing. Floral motifs are also a highlight of the collection as we can see in the Griala and Gleda (pictured) dresses.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Altering or falsifying an official government record is a crime. If you suspect this has happened you should report it to your local prosecutor's office, your local police, or the state investigating agency (state police, bureau of investigation, etc.) If this happened in a federal proceeding, you should report it to the F.B.I. and you local U.S. Attorney's office.
Good luck.

In the fascinating book Name Dropping, the late economist and perennial presidential adviser John Kenneth Galbraith tells the following story. President Lyndon Johnson was known to be a colorful man — rude and charming, cunning and innocent, all at the same time. A former Johnson speechwriter once joked to Galbraith that "LBJ was seven of the most interesting people that I had ever met" — all mixed into one.
How interesting to learn that the word "person" comes from the Latin, persona, and means "mask." In the classical world, an actor would put on a different persona, or mask, to play different parts. We all display multipersonalities. Life is typically not black and white; it is often gray. And we respond in kind. Indeed, it has been said that the Torah itself was revealed mitokh ha'arafel, "in the mist."
Often, life is lived in the midst of the mist.
But alas, who is above missing the mark? This week, we encounter the first post-Sinaitic communal chait, or "sin." A chait in Hebrew literally means, "to miss the target." This first communal miss is referred to as the sin of the "golden calf."
Background: We as a community had just witnessed the impressive choreography of Sinai, where God revealed the Aseret HaDibrot — "Ten Master Statements." Moses subsequently ascends the mountain to learn how to unpack and explicate these laws. Our sages suggest that Moses also learned the rules of hermeneutics, or interpretation and derivations. I guess, in a sense, even Moses went to rabbinical school. But now, 40 days later, Moses is running late. (It seems even he's not exempt from the phenomenon known as "Jewish time.")
But his people are less sanguine. They sense that their leader is lost to them. And their response? They build an icon, popularly referred to as a golden calf. But this image was not to be worshipped. It was, suggests some of the classical commentaries, most notably Ramban, meant to be a physical instantiated representation of a new leader. After all, when you think about it, many of them for all their conscious lives woke up with Moses as their leader, liberator and legislator. And they needed him — or someone like him — now more than ever.
Just when there is light, they think they are thrown back into darkness. Just when they think there is clarity, they are thrown back to uncertainty. The mist is once again enveloping them. And their response?
Authenticity and Purpose
Allow me to share the response in the original Hebrew. They built an eigel maseicha. Interestingly, the word masecha can also mean a mask. The people built a "masked image."
My mother grew up with the TV show "The Lone Ranger." Admittedly, there is something mysterious about a man with a mask. But there is something about masks that, forgive the tautology, mask the real.
We are all, perhaps more than we care to admit, wearers of multiple persona. It is through the Torah and tradition that we can find integration, meaning and coherence. It is our Jewish values that can given authenticity and purpose to our lives.
How telling it is that after the encounter with the Divine, Moses took to wearing a veil — a mask if you will. But when he engaged with the Divine — that is, when God spoke to Moses — the mask came off. Better, and perhaps even more significant, when Moses taught the Jewish people, he removed this veil.
When it comes to reclaiming our own story, we should be willing to be fully exposed — no barriers, no masks. We have a tradition that is rich, a heritage that is worthy of our attention and a Torah that has been, and for us should be, the only gold standard that we need.

Every Task is Too Big for this Dud of an App!
So, I used to like this app. Then it started shutting down on me, no reminders came up, and when I tried to open the app up the screen "blipped" and it stopped working all together! So, naturally I uninstalled, re-installed, did the whole setup again, attempting to fix it...same issues.
So, I wrote the developer regarding my issues (2 times in a 4-6 week period...hey, I know they're busy) and got no reply! Finally, I asked for a refund of the cost of the paid app and still no reply!
This TAASKY App went from a good 4 star rating to 1 star...I would have given it 1/2 stars or a big fat ZERO if I could have done so.
Now I'm using another app that I like...but I do miss some of the features that TAASKY had...but it functions well, populates to my calendar, and actually reminds me if tge many things I have to get done in a week.
Attention Application Developers, if you are reading this, please respond to my messages! As a consumer who relies heavily on the iPhone and all the wonderful apps available, I'd think you'd want to make me happy, along with anyone else who is having serious issues with the app and wants their hard earned $$$ back! Thank You!
Completely Broken - Terrible Support
I used this app...a lot. I really liked it. Right up to the day that it simply stopped working in so many ways. Sorting stopped working. Completed tasks don't move to the bottom. Possibly related, I can no longer clear completed tasks. iCloud sync is entirely broken. In fact, no matter what I do in the app it seems to always revert to some very old state all the while showing the "syncing" activity dialogue at the top of the app.
Contacted support, described the problem in a proper amount of detail and received a response a few days later that was short and not even remotely about any one of the issues I outlined. After a couple polite interactions I've given up. They don't seem to be interested and this productivity app has been super counterproductive in the last couple months. I was (briefly) able to add one last task and mark it complete..."Delete This App". And then the task disappeared and all the old tasks were there again. A fitting ending. App deleted.
Totes Happy
I've used this app for a while now anddd love it. It's simple to use, looks very clean, and works amazingly well. I noticed that some people were having issues with it checking cloud... I turned that feature off in the app settings and it still syncs with my calendar. I've had no problems with it opening/running slow with those options.
A must try app for the list writers and checkmark lovers ✔

"Deregulation was meant to remove barriers to entry and to promote price competition among airlines," says Greenwald. "Instead, the major airlines have used it to create fortress hubs." These hubs enable the airlines to route passengers through the airports they already dominate. In that kind of flight pattern, "most smaller and start-up airlines haven�t stood much of a chance," says Greenwald.
Don�t expect matters to change for the better any time soon, either. "The majors seem to be flying off in the direction of less goods and services," says Greenwald. "They are driving to cut their costs in order to lift their stock prices." The recent sick-out at American Airlines was a good indication of how the bottom line is charting the course of both management and unions, and once again leaving passengers behind.

While much of the country scrambles Wednesday to reach their Thanksgiving destination, UC San Diego physicist Tom Murphy will linger in his office and calmly fire a laser at the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to determine its exact position above the moon.
It's one of the periodic calibration tests Murphy does for NASA to ensure that the spacecraft is perfectly positioned to map the moon's surface and study its radiation. Murphy, 42, will send a signal from his office that will turn on a laser at the Apache Point Observatory in Sunspot, N.M. Once fired, the laser will hit LRO 1.25 seconds later.
"We send 20 pulses per second, and evaluate the stream of feedback to make corrections," Murphy said. "It's not a one-shot, wait-and-see operation, and we do not 'reset' to try again. We're constantly sweeping."
The exercise is a bit tricky. Murphy and his collaborators must hit an object that's about 225,000 miles away and traveling at roughly 3,000 mph. And Jupiter and Venus exert gravitational influence on the moon.
"LRO is tugged/jerked around by irregularities (mountains, craters, valleys) on the lunar surface via gravity, at the scale of hundreds of meters," Murphy says.
But he's succeeded many times before, and he's also used lasers to illuminate objects left on the moon by astronauts from Project Apollo.

Wait, huh, what? In the words of Yosemite Sam, "What in Sam Hill transpired in the stock market on Wednesday?"
Bernanke testimony day, which we had been waiting for since January, was yet another lesson that access to information on the fly, coupled with new skills of copywriters, is a wicked brew that could cause your portfolio to puke.
At first, Bearded Ben took the form of one of those white doves that are let go at funerals (friendly ... market rallied). Then he assumed the mold of the Grim Reaper (unfriendly ... market tanked from the session highs). By the conclusion of his testimony, he was a white dove wearing a Grim Reaper mask (a confusing creature). To top off the extravaganza, Ben's pals reminded the investing faithful that the risk rally is predicated on electronic transfers instead of corporate margin expansion, and hey, even the art of retiring shares with funds meant for the mailboxes of investors. Complete lunacy through and through.
Two Hot Stats
- At 3 p.m. EDT, the Dow was down 2% from its 10:30 a.m. level.
- The first time the Dow finished in the negative column after being up more than 150 points was on March 16, 2009 (that is, until Wednesday).
The FOMC and Your Life
The Fed is basically communicating that it doesn't know how to communicate to markets while it sits on oodles of securities. That is a serious knock to the Fed's credibility in terms of being able to unwind its extraordinary accommodation without destroying bond and equity markets.
The Federal Open Market Committee minutes had been seen as heightening the potential that the Fed would taper its program of purchasing securities. The apparent shift in Bernanke's testimony indicates indecision and a Fed chairman who may be losing support among his peers.
"Evidence of sufficiently strong and sustained growth" is needed to shift policy, according to the Fed minutes. This was a throwing a bone to the bulls, since one April jobs report and accompanying positive revisions aren't qualifiers of this comment.
The issue at hand is that the Fed has begun its exit strategy review (two years later...). Why is this significant? It signals that sustainable improvement in the labor market could be in the offing, and that the June 18-19 meeting (which will occur after the May employment report and which will include a press conference by Bernanke) may warrant an alteration in language.
Obviously, the market has been running on the assumption that the Fed's Treasury-buying program will undergo zero tapering, and as I mentioned last week, on modest hope of an increase in the amount of bonds purchased monthly.
Fed Phrasebook: 'Tapering Potential'
This was the hot phrase in the markets on Wednesday. You should be aware that the process is not singular. For the Fed to taper its monthly bond purchases, it first has to signal to the market that it is doing so. That signal will likely come in tweaked language regarding the labor market, such as the removal of the phrase "substantial improvement."
Rapid-Fire Thoughts
- If you are bullish on the U.S. economy, considering skewing defensive into the next jobs report.
- I can't see Bernanke handing off the ship he built without developing a thorough exit plan to be communicated to markets prior to his leaving the Fed in 2014.
- Homebuilders' stocks continue to act weak. This interest-rate-sensitive sector is a canary in the coalmine.
- We did see a switch into defensive names on Wednesday, including Pepsi (PEP) and Kimberly-Clark (KMB) and others that sport better relative yields.
- It's Home Depot (HD), not Lowe's (LOW) -- the intraday reversal in the latter's stock is irrelevant.
- Target (TGT) is going lower.
Special Note
I am going to be on the floor of the NYSE around 11:15 a.m. EDT today. If you happen to be in the area and want to chat on some markets (and of course snap pictures to be shared across all of your social-media platforms), send me an email at email@example.com.

Folks, Aha! I found e-mail for the company. Sent to their VP of IT. A copy of the message is below my .sig. HOWEVER, please do be aware that there is likely a great deal more to the story than the article presents; Skypak may be thinking of switching away from PostgreSQL for reasons that have nothing to do with actual performance. For example, they may be using it on Cygwin; you'll notice that the article doesn't mention a platform. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco ================================= Mr. Warnekar, We in the postgresql community were distrubed to read of your company's rather public repudation of PostgreSQL. Much more so because nobody in our active online community of developers -- including a number of Indians -- was aware that you were using PostgreSQL, let alone that you had problems with it. Was your staff aware that a great deal of expert, peer-to-peer help for PostgreSQL is available online? Were your problems raised on the PGSQL-PERFORMANCE e-mailing list or elsewhere? I spend quite a bit of time tuning PostgreSQL professionally for clients in the United States; it is how I support my participation in the Project. I find it somewhat hard to believe that PostgreSQL would not perform well under the loads you descibe in the article. Please consider sharing your issues with the community; I'm sure it would be cheaper to solve your performance problems with PostgreSQL than to port to another system. I look forward to hearing from you. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Core Team http://advocacy.postgresql.org San Francisco

JERUSALEM (Jul. 11)
Herman L. Weisman. president of the Zionist Organization of America, claimed today that President Nixon "stands an excellent chance" of doubling the Jewish vote he received in 1968 in next November's Presidential elections. Weisman, who arrived here for the ZOA's 75th jubilee convention which opens tomorrow, predicted a strong Jewish vote for Nixon on the basis of three "principal accomplishments" of the Nixon administration in the Middle East.
He said these were the initiation and extension of the Aug. 1970 cease-fire; the President's public expressions and actions in support of Israel; and Nixon's policy of maintaining a balance of military potential between Israel and the Arab states. Weisman stressed that the American Presidential elections would not be an agenda item at the ZOA convention.

Allure of the Seas Review
- Pro: Caters to every type of cruiser: families, couples, adventurers, food- and wine-lovers.
- Con: Upselling is rampant, and extra fees can quickly add up.
- Bottom Line: If you want a fun-filled cruise with plentiful activities, you can't beat Allure of the Seas.
Allure of the Seas Overview
The 225,282-ton Allure of the Seas was the world's largest cruise ship -- for six years -- before that title was stolen by sister Harmony of the Seas in May 2016. It can carry 5,492 passengers at double occupancy or 6,452 when every berth is full.
It has two famous near-twins, Oasis of the Seas and the aforementioned Harmony, with which it shares roughly 95 percent of its DNA -- including a novel neighborhood concept that divides the ship into seven distinct spaces. It also shares inward-facing balcony cabins, arguably the biggest (and best) kids program at sea, an ice rink, a bar that rises between three decks, simulated surfing, rock climbing walls and an outdoor high-diving AquaTheater.
The ship is breathtaking, both in scale and ambition. Although it's vast, it never feels overwhelming because its public spaces are broken up into seven neighborhoods. On Deck 4, you'll find Entertainment Place, complete with an indoor ice skating rink and various clubs and lounges. The Royal Promenade is the signature shopping area, the length of a football field, with a pair of enormous tented skylights to let the sunshine pour in. The outdoor Boardwalk neighborhood was inspired by Coney Island, with family-friendly restaurants, shops, a carousel and the AquaTheater. The foliage-filled Central Park -- covered in some 12,000 plants, 60 of which are trees -- is a more upscale restaurant and retail hub. The fronts of decks 6 and 7 are given over to fitness and well-being in the Vitality at Sea Spa. Deck 14 is all about the kids in Adventure Ocean, and, at the back of the ship, right up on Deck 15, you have the Sports Area, complete with FlowRider surf simulators, a zipline, mini-golf, Ping-Pong and basketball courts.
The ambience and atmosphere in each area are so distinct, it's as if there are seven different ships on one.
Astonishingly, Allure of the Seas also rarely feels crowded. The only places where you get a sense of the sheer number of people onboard are in the Royal Promenade during parade times, on sea days round the pool deck, and prime food times in the Windjammer Cafe buffet restaurant. You can sit in Central Park under a tree, drink in hand, stars above you, (piped) birdsong all around, and feel almost alone -- despite being overlooked by hundreds of cabins.
The ship is ideal for first timers, whether they're a family dipping their toes in the water for the first time, a group of friends looking for a fun-filled break or a couple celebrating a significant wedding anniversary.
Allure came out of a May 2015 refurbishment with a number of changes, including new dining options, shops, lounges, cabins and super fast Wi-Fi. Some of the post-dry dock tweaks -- which include a breathtaking Suite Lounge and suites-only dining room, Coastal Kitchen -- also point to a move by Royal Caribbean making a significant play for the high-end cruisers who perhaps have previously been put off by Allure's sheer size.
A word of warning: Allure of the Seas is so flooded with bill-busting offerings -- ice cream, extra-charge Mexican food, build-your-own stuffed animals, Coach bags -- that it's easy to forget about the included offerings, many of which are exclusive to the Oasis Class. You can surf or zip-line, ride a carousel or watch a first-run DreamWorks movie in 3D, and tap along to some Broadway showtunes. The Lady Gaga dance class had to be more fun than filling up on Skittles and gummy worms from the for-fee candy store. In other words, Allure can be enjoyed for the price of the cruise fare alone. But with so many temptations, it sure isn't easy.
Allure of the Seas Fellow Passengers
Families flock to Allure of the Seas, a ship that celebrates youthful exuberance in the form of surf simulators, rock climbing walls and some of the best children's facilities at sea. But the ship also clearly appeals to active couples, mainly in their 30s to 50s. Numerous spaces, especially the foliage-filled Central Park, provide a relatively kid-free ambience. In the Caribbean, passengers are predominantly American. However, when the ship sails in Europe, the passenger mix could not be more eclectic, drawing travelers from Europe, the U.S., the Middle East, Japan, China, India and Israel.
Allure of the Seas Dress Code
Weeklong cruises consist of two formal nights and five casual nights. On casual nights, expect a mix of jeans and slacks in the main dining rooms and nicer restaurants (no shorts); elsewhere T-shirts and shorts are fine for both men and women. Many men choose to wear tuxedos for formal dining, though dark suits are more common. Women are typically found in cocktail dresses or gowns.
Allure of the Seas Gratuity
Royal Caribbean passengers are charged $13.50 per person, per day ($16.50 for suite passengers). Gratuities can be prepaid or will be added on a daily basis to cruisers' SeaPass accounts during the cruise. Passengers can modify or remove gratuities by visiting the guest services desk while onboard. An 18 percent gratuity is automatically added to bar tabs. The onboard currency is the U.S. dollar.

Vitamin E no magic pill for heart problems
Vitamin E supplements did not work any better than a placebo in preventing cardiovascular complications and death among 9,500 high-risk patients in a 4.5-year study done at Hamilton General Hospital in Canada. If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes or a history of smoking or heart disease, the best advice is still regular exercise, a low-fat diet and medications prescribed by your doctor.
How to read a restaurant menu
There is no Nutritional Facts label on the food you order when you're dining out, but the menu often provides enough information for you to make healthy, low-fat choices. Look for words like baked, boiled, broiled, grilled, marinara, poached and steamed. You know you should avoid foods that are creamed, fried or sauteed, but you should also avoid foods described as alfredo, au gratin, bisque or breaded.

In a piece ironically titled "Be prudent with climate claims" (behind The Australian's paywall, search for the title if you want to read it) George Pell declares that, unlike him,
"many politicians have never investigated the primary evidence."
However, if you look at the sources he cites, you'll find that by "primary evidence" he means claims made by Monckton and Plimer, not peer-reviewed work by climate scientists. He only manages one cite to the IPCC reports and that is just to quote an out of context sentence to make it look like the IPCC as saying that climate is no more predictable than weather. That's not what they say at all. It's unclear whether Pell misrepresented the IPCC by stripping that sentence from its context or whether he just copied from someone like Monckton.
It is unfortunate that Pell has failed to learn from The Bureau of Meteorology Greg Ayer and repeated claims already shown to be false.
The Australian, of course, simply does not care whether the material it prints is true or not.
Tim Stephens in the Jesuit's Eureka Street comments:
Climate science is complex and not explainable in sound-bites. Of necessity the layperson must defer to the experts. If Pell had offered views on neuroscience, quantum computing, immunology, the geology of Mars or any of the other topics covered in the latest issue of Nature we would rightly be scratching our heads at his intervention, unless he truly were a polymath of Galilean standing.
But the discourse of climate change has become so debased and post-modern that any views, however bizarre, can be given an airing. Like homeopathy and astrology, Pell's pseudo-science should be ignored, and the scientific method allowed to continue, however unpalatable the conclusions may be.
Robert Manne (who Pell bizarrely accuses of making a "category error" for suggesting that we should be guided by the scientific consensus) writes:
Cardinal Pell apparently believes that someone like himself – without scientific training; without scientific publications; without the capacity to read and understand academic scientific literature – is in a position to disregard the conclusions of 97 per cent of climate scientists actively publishing in peer-reviewed journals which have been supported by the world's major scientific academies. In denying the existence of a consensus among the climate scientists on core questions, and in arguing that laypeople without scientific understanding or expertise can come to their own conclusions on global warming, as if it were all merely a matter of opinion, Pell has committed what he might call a category error but which I prefer to call a cardinal mistake.

Children's Health
Milk breath
My almost 4 year old son`s breath smells like milk. He does not drink milk or even eat very much dairy at all, but I always notice that his breath smells like milk. Is there any reason you know of that would make his breath smell this way? I know certain breath smells can be a symptom of disease, this is why I ask. He has multiple food and environmental allergies(not milk), asthma and a ventricular septal defect. Also he very rarely has a "normal" bowel movement. He is small for age(29lbs,36 inches), has had 2 sets of ear tubes and an adenoidectomy/tonsillectomy. Thank you for any input!
You are correct that the odor of a person's breath may reflect a health problem, most often a problem with the metabolism or body's processing of amino acids, fatty acid. I am happy to say that mild, milky breath odors are exactly how young children's breath does smell. Their breath typically is never unpleasant when they are healthy. Unpleasant breath occurs when children mouth breathe due to allergies, upper respiratory infection, and sinus infections.
I checked your son's measurements on a growth chart. He is below the 5th percentile for weight and below the 3rd percentile for height, which means he is among the smallest and lightest weight boys his age. Food allergies can make good growth difficult if he has many food restrictions. There are many immune cells in the intestine to protect us from illness. Part of the way they do this, both in response to germ invasion as well as in response to allergens, is to pour more fluid into the intestine and move the offending germs and foods along faster. This means that there is a lot less time for the intestines to absorb nutrients from food to fuel growth.
Many immune cells also live in the lymph tissues of the body, including the tonsils and adenoids. Their job is to remove allergens from the respiratory tract and protect the lungs from inflammation. When they are very active in doing this as they are in children with allergies, they become too large for a child's small airways and need to be removed. Also, the inflammation from allergies creates a constant wet environment in the upper airways that promotes ear infections.
So, don't worry about his breath, but do focus on working with his allergist to identify and control allergens. If you have not done so, you might consider asking for a nutrition consultation to make his diet the best it can be for good growth and a pediatric gastrointestinal consult to make sure your son does not have a malabsorption problem, that is a problem with absorption of one or more nutrients, that is slowing his growth.
In his four short years of life you have already dealt with many health problems. It can be exhausting. I hope you and your partner take time to rest and renew together. The good news is that many allergies to lessen in number and severity as a child gets older. I hope this information is helpful to you.
