A minority group enters a community and through hard work and perseverance gains a measure of financial security and grudging toleration from their neighbors.
Then disaster strikes, the minority is blamed for it, and as a result faces discrimination and mistreatment, not only from the yokels among whom they live, but also from the highest authorities in the land. Members of the minority prove in every way — including with their lives — that they are not to blame for the disaster, and indeed are doing everything they can to help the country overcome it.
When they return home, they hope, in light of what they've done, to be received if not as heroes then at least as neighbors. Instead, discrimination and abuse are the norm, apologies are not forthcoming, reparations are not made — until, that is, decades later. This is the story of the Japanese-Americans who fought for the United States in World War II.
In "Nisei Soldiers Break Their Silence," Linda Tamura, focusing on the nisei from Oregon's Hood River Valley, tells the story in exquisite, painful detail. She chooses the Hood River Valley in part because she has relatives there, but the area is well-chosen for another reason: It was one of the communities where the anti-Japanese plague was at its worst — though one hastens to add that it was not the only community infected. In 1942, with the signing of Order 9066, the act by virtue of which "all West coast Nikkei, even those who were American citizens, were confined to government-run concentration camps in desolate parts of the country," President Franklin D. Roosevelt made it clear that he stood with the Hood River bigots (and "concentration camp" was, Tamura informs us, FDR's term of choice).
Tamura is a thorough guide through the whole history of the Hood River Nikkei (people of Japanese descent). Beginning with the first-generation immigrants who arrived in the United States believing that after a few years they'd be able to return to Japan wealthy, we advance with Tamura through the lives of the nisei, the American children the issei had when their dream of returning to Japan failed to pan out, up to the present day.
Tamura reminds us of the valiant service of nisei during World War II. This includes the famous 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which fought in Europe. Composed almost entirely of nisei, the 442nd is generally considered the most decorated unit in American military history, and that honor came at a price: "The regiment suffered the highest casualty rate of any in the U.S. army. The 9,486 casualties, all Purple Heart recipients (awarded to members of the armed forces who are wounded or killed in action), equaled three times the number of soldiers."
Considering that many of these soldiers had family who had been incarcerated, and most faced discrimination even as they fought for the country that treated them as second-class citizens — or noncitizens — one can only stand in awe of the nisei who served in World War II. The awe increases when we learn from Tamura that, in spite of the virulent campaigns to expel them from their communities and the "No Japanese" signs they returned home to at war's end, most of the Nikkei chose never to complain about the treatment they and their families received before, during and after the war. (Tamura had a hard time even decades later getting them to speak about it.)
As much as one admires this stoicism, one begins to crave acts of resistance. They are few and far between. The story of Fred Sumoge and others who served time in Leavenworth after being convicted in a kangaroo court of disobeying an order when they attempted to talk to an officer about the unfair treatment they had experienced reveals another kind of heroism.
"There was a problem," Sumoge said. "We had to fight for democracy not overseas, but here in the United States," and he did fight — and lived a life blighted by a dishonorable discharge and the time he had spent in prison.
Sumoge and others, both Nikkei and their non-Nikkei allies, didn't give up, though, and thanks in part to their efforts, in 1976 President Gerald Ford issued a proclamation rescinding Executive Order 9066 and recognized the concentration camps as "one of our national mistakes," and "a setback to fundamental American principles."
Likewise, Hood River residents began to feel shame for what had happened in their community, and a series of apologies were offered, along with exhibitions and ceremonies, most recently on May 31, 2011, when "nearly 500 gathered at Hood River's Idlewilde Cemetery to remember, to put the past behind them, and to move on."
Tamura's book, in its detailed recounting of this national mistake, is a significant addition to that effort.

A part of the facility's commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, this exhibit compares the romanticized idea of the "Old South" with the often gruesome reality of life as it really was for many Arkansans from 1861-1865. Reel to Real: Gone with the Wind and the Civil War in Arkansas pairs up rarely seen items from GWTW with actual objects and firsthand accounts of the monumental battle in Arkansas.
The Shaw-Tumblin Gone with the Wind Collection (Reel) is fascinating for everyone; from those who love movies to those whose interest is history. You enter into the film world of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler via costumes, photos and movie outtakes. The exhibit explores the influence of movies on the perspectives and attitudes of the public.
The Real portion portrays the true nature of the conflict with Arkansas slave narratives, women's diaries, letters home from soldiers as well as uniforms and weaponry, all from the museum's permanent collection. It brings the realities of war to life, with the words, stories and songs of those who endured the ordeal of war in Arkansas.
Time is running out; the exhibit ends April 30.

The reports about undemocratic and illegal procedures keep on arriving from Belarusian polling stations where advance polling is being held.
Polling stations fraud
Thus, two observers were ejected from a polling station in Electoral District No. 33 in Homiel on Thursday after they asked the precinct election commission about the voter turnout, BelaPAN says.
The representatives of the Campaign for Fair Elections, wanted to compare official turnout figures with their own, BelaPAN says.
Observers in Homiel accuse precinct election commissions of grossly exaggerating the voter turnout in the first three days of early voting.
"According to the precinct commission, 105 people have cast their ballots at one of the polling stations in Electoral District No. 34," human rights defender Leanid Sudalienka says. "According to observers, only 22 people have voted. At Polling Station No. 18, observers are seated in the corridor and not allowed to move closer to see what is going on."
At another Homiel polling station, observers monitoring the ongoing elections for the House of Representatives have accused precinct commissions of vote fraud.
The observers estimate that 3,966 people cast their ballots on the first three days of the vote at 28 of the district's 33 polling stations. The precinct commissions claim that a total of 4,447 people voted.
Observers at one polling station saw only 69 people cast their ballots, but the precinct commission insists that 147 people voted.
The official turnout figures were twice as high as the actual number of voters at two more polling stations, an observer says.
"These so-called elections do not differ in any way from what we saw two or four years ago," the activist said. "There are no elections, there is a farce and people understood that long ago. That's why we see that where there are no university dormitories only two to five percent of the voters came to the polling stations on the first three days of early voting."
Around 24 percent of the voters cast their ballots at two polling stations located inside universities between September 18 and 20, an observer says.
In Brest, the ballot boxes used at all polling stations in Electoral District No. 1 in Brest are sealed at the end of the day with the same seal, Dzianis Turchaniak, a campaign aide to an opposition parliamentary candidate told on Thursday.
"I examined the ballot boxes myself and found the seals on all of them to be identical," said Mr. Turchaniak, a member of the Movement for Freedom. "This makes the sealing procedure pointless. The chairpersons of the precinct election commissions in the district cannot guarantee that the ballot boxes for early voting at their polling stations are sealed with their seals."
Students under attack
Students keep on complaining about forced early voting. They are threatened to be driven away from dormitories, to have problems at exams. However, Mikalaj Lazavik, the secretary of the Central Election Commission told Nasha Niva that such reports are only guesses and have no ground.
"Give me the names of these people [who force to vote] and I will sort it out. Give me the facts. But you have only loads of fantasies and guesses on the Internet," the official told.
The students of Belarusian National Technical University tell why they vote early (in Belarusian and Russian)

Think of this as a Who's Who in Birmingham. A Who's Really Who. These are the people who make things happen. Or, as they case may be, don't.
Birmingham Mayor William Bell. After three decades in politics, Bell finally became Birmingham's top banana. And if his predecessor's slogan was "Let's Do Something," Bell's should be "The Bar is Low."
It is, after all, not so much who he is that makes Bell what he is. It's who he's not.
Bell follows criminal mayor Larry Langford, whose term crashed down like an avalanche. And Langford followed Bernard Kincaid, who moved the city like an interminable melting glacier. Bell looks good in that light, but it might just be the reflection. After all, when the bankers tell him to jump at a bond deal, Bell, like others before him, just asks how high.
When Rep. John Rogers says jump, voters in Birmingham say "What? What did he say?" Rogers wields power like a good-natured godfather, but he's also the most misunderstood man in town.
No. I mean it. He is literally the most misunderstood man in town. But don't for a second think he really talks like that. Rogers learned years ago that the first rule of politics in Alabama is this: never say anything out loud that can be understood on a wiretap.
Which brings us to FBI wiretapper and Alabama Sen. Scott Beason, who should have learned the same. The co-sponsor of Alabama's immigration law, the guy who stood in the courthouse door to keep Jefferson County from catching a break, who was caught on tape calling black people aborigines, once stood at the apex of our pyramid of pain. Now, after that whipping by Congressman Spencer Bachus and his own foot stuck firmly in his his mouth, Beason's just another block in the wall.
We had hoped the Birmingham Business Alliance would help us build a better foundation. That still-new organization, designed to form a united front for business recruitment and leadership in the Birmingham area, is more like the Wizard of Oz in our emerald city. Not because it is great or powerful. Because we were dumb enough to think it would be.
There's no place like home. There's no place like home.
If you want to know where the real power in this town resides, look on the shoulders of Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive. He's the one guy in Birmingham who can open his mouth at any moment and expect to be quoted across the country. Stuff he says in his sleep makes it onto ESPN. And if you think you want to cross him, just check with the Ten.
You know them. Before Slive came along, they called themselves the Big Ten.
Talk about clout. If voters really wanted results from their leaders, they'd go ahead and elect TV weather guru James Spann. He's the only person in the Birmingham metro area who can give an order and have it immediately obeyed by Republicans and Democrats, by blacks and whites, by Alabama and Auburn fans. When Spann says Go to your safe place, you better go. Now.
So what are you waiting for, people? Go.

Guilderland Archives The Altamont Enterprise, February 4, 2010
"Reeks of public bid-rigging," says assessor
By Anne Hayden
GUILDERLAND The town is slated to go to court on March 1 to defend its assessment of the Metro 20 Diner. The diner's owner is seeking a $1 million reduction, from $1.6 million to $664,500.
The town board, at a Jan. 19 meeting, was unable to agree on hiring GAR Associates to do an appraisal of the diner for $5,000. Republican councilmen Warren Redlich and Mark Grimm abstained because they felt they hadn't been presented with enough information; Democrats Patricia Slavick and Kenneth Runion approved, but with fellow Democratic councilman Paul Pastore absent due to illness, it was a stalemate. (For the full story, go online to altamontenterprise.com, and look under the Jan. 21 archives for Guilderland.)
Runion and the town's assessor, John Macjeka, said the lack of an outside appraisal would handicap the town's ability to defend its assessment of the diner.
At a town board meeting on Feb. 2, Grimm indicated that he had found a company willing to do the appraisal for less a few hundred dollars less than the $5,000 bid by GAR Associates, and that the company would be able to finish the project before the March 1 court date.
Grimm requested that the appraisal be added to the agenda for a vote, but Runion denied the request, stating that the board members did not receive the information in time to review it before the meeting. The supervisor also said that Grimm's decision to solicit bids for an outside appraisal without consulting the assessor was "unethical, collusive, and possibly illegal."
With one month left before the town's court date, Grimm told The Enterprise that he felt the board should have voted on his choice for an appraisal, or voted on the original bid on Tuesday night, while Pastore was present.
Macjeka told The Enterprise that he had asked GAR Associates if there would be time for an appraisal if the bid were approved on Feb. 2, and was told by the company that it would not be possible by March 1. Runion said he had not put the item on the Feb. 2 agenda for that reason; he also said he had not known Pastore would be present at the meeting.
"Mr. Grimm had no authority to look for other bids, and he never indicated to me that he was going to seek his own bids. In my opinion it's highly unethical, and reeks of public bid-rigging," said Macjeka.
"We have to be careful how we use the word bid; Mr. Macjeka didn't seek bids, from what he told me. He said just called a few companies and got quotes, which is what I did. I didn't solicit any bids," Grimm told The Enterprise. He said he had been acting in the taxpayers' interest, and did not feel that he had done anything inappropriate.
Macjeka responded, through The Enterprise, and said there had been a bidding process, and that Grimm was misinformed. He said that, when receiving quotes for an appraisal, it is the assessor's job to give the company detailed information about the property, and to interview it about its experience, especially with similar appraisals.
"There was information Grimm just did not have, so the quote he got might not have been correct, and the company might not have agreed with my opinion on defending the assessment," Macjeka said.
Both Macjeka and Runion said Guilderland will be in court to defend the Metro 20 Diner on March 1, without an outside appraisal. If the court does not uphold Guilderland's assessment, the town, school district, and county will have to refund tax money.

Kings I 5:26-6:13
Part of this haftarah (Kings 1 8:2-21) is also read on the second day of Sukkot.
In the haftarah for Miketz a few weeks ago, Solomon was granted wisdom. The Bible takes great pains to repeatedly point out this event and does so at the introduction of every episode in which Solomon's wisdom plays a relevant role.. This week's haftarah opens with a reminder: "The Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him" (5:26).
The narrative goes on to tell of the peace treaty between Israel and King Hiram of Tyre, who was to become one of Solomon's greatest allies. Together, they would establish one of the most wide-ranging trade routes in the world at the time.
The story continues by outlining Solomon's plan to construct the Temple. In Parashat Terumah, the Torah outlines the plans and layout for the Mishkan, the Tabernacle in which the Ark was carried through the desert. Similarly, the haftarah for Terumah details, step by step, how many people were used in each job for the Temple's construction. "Solomon employed 70,000 who carried the loads and 80,000 quarry workers in the hill country" (5:29) it reports, and proceeds to tell how the builders "shaped and made ready the timber and stones for the building of the Temple" (5:32).
The exact dimensions of the Temple, its windows, lattice, the winding staircase that led to the second and third stories, and even the dimensions of the porch are given. The text also gives details of the instruments utilized in the Temple's construction: "no hammer or ax or any other iron tool" (6:7) was allowed to be used.
When the Temple was completed, Solomon received a prophecy from God: "If you obey My statutes and carry out My rules of justice and take care to keep all My commandments, I will fulfill My promise, the one I made to your father David, and I will dwell among the people of Israel, and never forsake My people Israel" (6:12-13).
Pronunced: TORE-uh, Origin: Hebrew, the Five Books of Moses.

UAE team spotlights Club's growing overseas role at FIA workshop in Mexico
Dubai, UAE, 7 August, 2012: The training of national motor sport authorities in South America, another new direction for the Automobile and Touring Club of the UAE, will be top of the agenda this week at an FIA workshop in Cancun, Mexico.
The ATCUAE has been contracted by its counterparts in Colombia, Chile and Bolivia to deliver intensive training programs to assist with the continued development of the motor sport infrastructures in those countries and five other South American nations.
A team from the Club's training and education division, the Motorsport Knowledge Institute (MKI), is attending the three-day workshop getting under way in Mexico tomorrow (Wednesday, 8 August) to explain its role as an FIA Institute Approved Regional Training Provider.
The Club is now one of only four national organizations worldwide entrusted to deliver motor sport training programs on behalf of the FIA, the sport's governing body.
Specialists from the UAE will begin delivering high level training programs for the FIA-approved national motor sport authorities in Colombia, Chile and Bolivia later this year,
In Bolivia, the training will be extended to senior officials of the national motor sport authorities of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay which also host the Codasur South American Rally Championship.
MKI Director Dr Sean O'Connor is attending the workshop along with the Institute's Manager
Tanya Kutsenko, and Communications Manager, Natalia Sosa Medina.
In recent weeks MKI teams have been in Africa to conduct training programs for officials of the national motor sport authorities of Sudan and Tanzania. Training will be extended into other parts of the world in the months ahead.
The training programs are funded in part by the FIA Foundation's Motor Sport Safety Development Fund, which was set up in 2008 as a charitable fund to help progress and improve safety, training and education in motor sport worldwide.
The FIA Institute manages the programs of the Fund on behalf of the FIA Foundation. This includes the Officials Safety Training Program under which this activity is being conducted.
The MKI was established by its President, Dr. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, following the organization's elevation to the status of FIA Institute Approved Regional Training Provider in December 2011.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2013/05/02 - GE (NYSE: GE) has signed a multimillion dollar, multi-year maintenance plan with UK energy company RWE npower to provide a full range of service. NYSE: GE
Multimillion Dollar Deal among GEs Largest Service Agreements in Europe over the Past Year;
Operating Flexibility and Reducing Costs are Keys to Success in U.K. Power Sector;
Latest Agreement Builds on GEs Long-Term Relationship with RWE npower.
GE (NYSE: GE) has signed a multimillion dollar, multi-year maintenance plan with U.K. energy company RWE npower to provide a full range of services that will help increase the operating flexibility and reduce costs for its Great Yarmouth and Little Barford power plants. Together, these two natural gas-burning plants serve the power needs of nearly 1 million U.K. homes and businesses.
The Little Barford combined-cycle power station operates with two GE 9FA gas turbines and has a generating capacity of 740 megawatts, while the Great Yarmouth power station features one GE 9FA gas turbine and has a capacity of 400 megawatts. The agreement for these sites is among the largest GE service contracts signed in Europe over the past year.
Designed for 50-Hz applications, the advanced technology 9FA gas turbine delivers power with high efficiency, availability, reliability and low emissions. The 9FA gas turbine provides the flexibility required today in many regions for power that can be rapidly adjusted to compensate for changes in renewable generation, demand or use. It provides the plant operator with choices to best meet fluctuating power demands.
The new service agreement follows a previous GE maintenance support agreement for the Little Barford plant that included the first U.K. installation of GEs dual fuel DLN 2.6+ combustion system technology, which enables a 40 percent reduction in NOx emissions.
The new multi-year maintenance program is designed to help increase the availability and reliability of the GE 9FA gas turbines at the Little Barford and Great Yarmouth sites. It also will help the plants to maintain high levels of fuel efficiency and help reduce maintenance cycles, which translates to higher availability and increased revenue in generation. During the life of the contract, GE will supply OEM parts and technical services, including repair and training.
The agreement also positions RWEs plants to benefit from GEs latest technology and global experience. To date, GE has long-term service agreements in place at more than 700 sites worldwide.
We are sharply focused on helping our customers maintain high productivity and returns on investment from their installed assets, said Dick Ayres, general manager of GEs Power Generation Services (PGS) business in Europe. This level of service commitment is particularly crucial to energy producers in the U.K., which is currently experiencing an excess supply of power. In this type of environment, only the most efficient power plants can successfully compete, and we want to help our customers better position themselves long term.
In addition to Little Barford and Great Yarmouth, GE continues to support the RWE npower cogen fleet at industrial power plants in the U.K.
Through a collaborative process, RWE and GE continue to work collectively to consider improvements across the U.K. fleet including technical support for the installation, operation and maintenance of gas and steam turbines, generators, turbine controls and accessory systems. This collaboration helps improve RWEs overall fleet performance and availability, which contribute to a more stable power grid for the communities served by RWE.
RWE npower is a leading U.K. energy company and is part of the RWE Group, one of Europes leading electricity and gas companies. RWE npower serves approximately 6.5 million customer accounts and produces about 10 percent of the electricity used in Great Britain. In the U.K., RWE also is at the forefront of producing energy through renewable sources. RWE Innogy, part of RWE npower, leads the U.K. wind power market and also is a leader in hydroelectric generation.
GEs PGS business delivers total life cycle solutions that enable GE customers to extract more value from their existing power generation assets. By harnessing advanced technologies, data analytics and 130 years of OEM experience, PGS provides customers with the FlexEfficiency* Advantage.

Can you believe it's already time for Valentine's Day? I just got done shopping for Christmas and now I have to shop for Valentine's Day and the middle dude's birthday.
Just in time for Valentine's Day, I received a very nice surprise from the folks over at H-E-B. Each item that I received in the basket can be purchased at H-E-B while you are doing your normal grocery shopping. I think you'll be surprised to see what was in my basket.
Oh how I love multipurpose trips. Not only do I save money on gas, I save time. It's a win-win situation all the way around.
I know many of you, just like me, are super busy and don't have time for multiple trips to a variety of stores to get the things you need. That's why I really appreciate that H-E-B offers not only groceries, but household items, health and beauty products, etc.
The basket that I received was the "Shop-A-Holic" gift basket and it included a $25 Visa Gift Card, 6.8 oz heart shaped package of Elmer Chocolates, .5 fl oz bottle of Couture by Juicy Couture, a stuffed little Valentine's Day puppy, a pink and black pashmina, red slapband watch with faux diamond rhinestones, flower and rhinestone ring and a heart shaped mirrored compact.
When my husband saw all that H-E-B had sent me, his response was, "Great! Now what am I supposed to get you?" I assured him that while I LOVED everything in the basket, that I was positive I could think of something else I wanted.

|Ersan Ilyasova, PF Shot Chart 18 MIN | 4-9 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 4 TO | 8 PTS | -5
He actually looked like a real functional basketball player against the Lakers, so this game was a step back. When he caught the ball in the high post, he twice turned it over with terrible passes and once turned it over with a moving screen. He scored Milwaukee's first six points, but it was so frustrating to watch him flick up one shot as fast as he could and fade away on another. Can he do nothing strong right now? After that stretch, he was pretty much absent.
|Larry Sanders, C Shot Chart 35 MIN | 7-7 FG | 2-2 FT | 8 REB | 2 AST | 2 STL | 2 BLK | 1 TO | 16 PTS | -4
Six of his seven shots were layups or dunks, with one coming late in the game off a nice spin move to the rim when the Bucks really needed a basket. Sanders and Luke Ridnour played the pick and roll game very well in the first half, but weren't able to connect much after that. Great to see Sanders finishing around the hoop and being aggressive. He said after the game his rim protection has a ways to go before it's where he wants it to be.
|Luke Ridnour, PG Shot Chart 37 MIN | 4-8 FG | 4-4 FT | 3 REB | 8 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 12 PTS | -4
More often than not, he was Milwaukee's point guard when he played with Brandon Knight. I don't know if this is some sort of audition, as many on Twitter have speculated, or if Larry Drew just wanted to see what it would be like to have an actual point guard play point guard with the rest of his team. It was fun early, when Ridnour was running pick and rolls with Sanders. It's interesting watching someone like Ridnour, because it reminds you how much Knight doesn't really play like a point guard.
|Brandon Knight, PG Shot Chart 32 MIN | 3-12 FG | 1-2 FT | 2 REB | 3 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 8 PTS | -4
He's heading further and further down combo guard lane, without appearing to want to stop and head back. This is the first time this season I can remember him sharing the court with another guard and sliding over to the two as much as he did, but it seemed like a better fit, even if his numbers didn't pan out. The problem is that he's too small to spend entire games at the two, so he'll have to be a bench player, which means the Bucks really don't have their point guard or shooting guard (unless it's Giannis) of the future on the roster probably. Sigh.
|Giannis Antetokounmpo, SG Shot Chart 34 MIN | 3-6 FG | 3-4 FT | 7 REB | 5 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | 10 PTS | +1
We already know that Giannis is dynamite in transition, but if Utah fans didn't know, they know now. Outside of an unfortunate blocked layup that required a very nice play from Gordon Hayward, Giannis was great as a ball-handler and decision maker on the break. Three of his five assists came in transition, with one resulting in a fun alley-oop from Giannis to Sanders.
|Khris Middleton, PF Shot Chart 20 MIN | 1-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 2 PTS | -7
As his minutes have gone, so have his touches. Playing with O.J. Mayo, Gary Neal and Caron Butler probably isn't as much fun for him. Not a ton of available shots with that group or any combination thereof.
|Caron Butler, SF Shot Chart 17 MIN | 4-8 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 9 PTS | -7
He hates the rim, which explains why Thursday night was the first time Butler shot 50% since he had 38 points in Philadelphia on November 22. That was a week before Black Friday and we're already at Super Cold Friday. (That is what I call the first Friday in January … but really that could be any day in December or January in Wisconsin, because OH MY GOD IT IS SO COLD OUTSIDE. I'd rather talk about the weather than Caron Butler. And I hate talking about the weather.)
|Miroslav Raduljica, C Shot Chart 13 MIN | 3-5 FG | 1-1 FT | 2 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 7 PTS | -5
Continues to seem to know what he's doing with himself when he catches the ball in the paint. In the second quarter, he got a touch in the paint, made a move and was rejected by Enes Kanter. When a similar situation was presented in the fourth quarter after an offensive rebound, he gave Kanter a pump fake that got him up in the air and got 'Slav an easy basket. Fun to see that.
|O.J. Mayo, SG Shot Chart 18 MIN | 2-7 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 1 TO | 4 PTS | -9
He seemed pretty content to toss up long jump shots, some of them twos and some of them threes. He's been nearly as good of a 3-point shooter as he has been a 2-point shooter this season, so that's fine if he wants to take that step back or make sure he comes a bit wider off the screen to get a look from three. But it'd be fantastic if Mayo could get near the basket sometimes. He's one of the best free throw shooters in the league this year, but he never attacks. One of his two makes against the Jazz was off an offensive rebound that left him in the post against a smaller player.
|Larry Drew
How disappointing must it be to be Khris Middleton right now? He's taken advantage of his opportunity for playing time this season in a big way, performed fairly consistently night after night, been an outstanding 3-point shooter … and now finds himself on the fringe of Milwaukee's rotation. I get that Larry Drew is desperate, but this seems strange.
Two Things We Saw
- The Bucks made just 11 free throws, grabbed only six offensive rebounds and connected on a paltry four 3-pointers. That sort of lack of easy opportunities, second chances and shots worth more points would be too much to overcome for a team as lacking in talent as the Bucks. When the Bucks win, 3-pointers, offensive boards and free throws, or at least a couple of those, typically play a big role.
- These two teams make me bummed out. The Bucks more so, though. No one was able to take the game over for Milwaukee and crucial possessions ended in either shots for Caron Butler or turnovers late. That's inexcusable.

Is The Stock Market Expensive Or Cheap?
Posted by: Gordon Pape (IP Logged)
Date: October 5, 2013 08:56PM
Contributing editor Ryan Irvine is back with us this week with an analysis of the U.S. stock market and an update on one of his most successful recommendations. Ryan is the CEO of Keystone Financial (www.KeyStocks.com) and one of Canada's leading experts on small-cap securities. Here is his report.
Ryan Irvine writes:
With the S&P 500 up over 18% year-to-date and about 34% since the beginning of 2012, it is fair to ask if broader North American markets should be considered overvalued. Anecdotally, it is certainly more difficult to identify striking value than it has been over the past several years. But it's not impossible as growth has picked up in select areas.
We have seen this notably in Western Canadian infrastructure with companies like Macro Industries (TSX-V: MCR, OTC: MCESF). Macro is a recent addition to our research coverage - it was recommended in June and is up 65% since then. This is a company that operates in a true pocket of strength.
One of the most popular (but not necessarily best) ways of measuring a market's valuation is the price/earnings ratio.
While no one disagrees about what the "p" is when calculating the ratio, there is no consensus on how to define the "e" - earnings per share. One point of dispute is on whether to use analysts' earnings estimates for the coming year or reported company earnings from the previous 12 months (trailing earnings). For the record, we consider both as well as a number of other factors.
Consider the S&P 500's current p/e based on trailing earnings. For the four quarters through June 30, the index's earnings per share amounted to $91.16, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. That translates into a p/e ratio of 19.31, which is higher than 79% of comparable readings since 1871, according to a database maintained by Yale University professor Robert Shiller. This paints a bearish near-term perspective.
Current S&P 500 PE Ratio: 19.31
PE since 1871
Of course, bulls will point out that forward estimates for earnings call for strong growth in 2014. According to FactSet Data Systems, the consensus from Wall Street analysts is that earnings from companies in the S&P 500 will be $121.95 a share next year, which translates into a p/e ratio of 13.6. That is 6% less than the 14.5 median of historical p/e ratios in Prof. Shiller's database.
Bears will counter-punch with the widely acknowledged fact that Wall Street analysts, many from the sell side, are forever too optimistic. In addition, analysts' estimates focus on what's known as "operating earnings," a looser category than the actual reported earnings used to calculate the average of past p/e ratios. Thus, they are often adjusted higher.
This leaves us in a formidable tug-of-war in terms of broader market valuations.
If we take a look at the p/e on the S&P over the past 20-years, we get an average of 25.23 which paints the current p/e of 18.2-18.8 in a bullish light. However, one must remember that from a historical perspective, the last 20 years have boasted some of the highest multiples on record including the 2009 mark of 70.89 following the credit crisis and the tech bubble induced mark of 46.18 in 2002 which have skewed the multiple higher. Remove these two years and the average drops considerably to 21.53, but this still remains well above the historical mean of 15.5.
There are of course other methods based on earnings which we can employ to value the state of the broader market. One method which has proven successful in identifying market extremes (both over and undervalued) is the Shiller p/e ratio or cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio, commonly known as CAPE. Developed by Robert Shiller and built off the work of legendary value investors Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, CAPE is a valuation measure usually applied to broad equity markets. It is defined as price divided by the average of 10 years of earnings, adjusted for inflation.
The central theme behind the CAPE is simple. Taking a multiple of one year's earnings is misleading because stock markets naturally adjust when investors believe profits are cyclically high or cyclically low. Compare prices instead to the average of earnings over 10 years (Prof. Shiller also corrects for inflation) and it becomes clearer whether stock markets are overvalued or undervalued.
For over a century, extremes in the CAPE have coincided with favourable times to buy and sell. By staying far above its long-term average during the 2003 to 2007 rebound that followed the Internet bust, the CAPE also provided a warning that the rally was not to be trusted - ahead of the far worse crisis of 2007-09.
Prof. Shiller and the CAPE are sounding the alarm once again, recently implying that the U.S. market is 62% overvalued and more expensive than any other big stock market.
Current Shiller PE Ratio: 24.22
Shiller PE Since 1871
Economics without debate is like politics without scandal. It's not going to happen. It should be no surprise that the CAPE is under attack from another renowned economist, Jeremy Siegel, who contends that it is based on faulty data. Many on Wall Street discount CAPE, but most have a vested interest.
Prof. Siegel of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School has produced a new version of the CAPE, which he says corrects Prof. Shiller's mistakes. His version of the CAPE suggests that the U.S. stock market is sending a different signal - stocks are cheap.
Many investors, both short and long term, will contend that outside of the few days of the market crash in March 2009 when the CAPE fell briefly below its long-term average, Shiller's indicator has shown that U.S. stocks have been overvalued for over 20 years. Yet the benchmark S&P 500 has more than doubled since March 2009. It also doubled between 2003 and 2007. In total, the benchmark is up over 275% over the past 20 years.
Yes, the most recent "great recession" saw the largest drop in corporate profits on record. But consumer debt levels remain near record highs in the developed world and domestic growth is still muted at best. Supporters of CAPE will point out that casting doubt on metrics is a classic symptom of bubbles. Back in the tech bubble, analysts went from valuing companies based on price-to-earnings to price to-eyeballs or "Internet site impressions."
Quite frankly, we do not see anything close to this type of mania at present. Corporate balance sheets continue to strengthen and profits are trending in the right direction. Total U.S. household debt fell another $78 billion, or 0.7%, in the third quarter of this year. Since peaking in the third quarter of 2008, American households have reduced their debt burdens by $1.53 trillion, or 12%. Deleveraging is a positive story of the last few years. The shift is even more dramatic relative to the size of the overall economy; household debt totaled 85% of GDP in the third quarter of 2008 and was down to 67% in the second quarter of 2013.
But there is plenty of reason to worry broadly about the economy including public (unfunded pension liabilities included) and private (consumer) debt. While U.S. consumer debt has been headed in the right direction, levels still remain historically high. U.S. unemployment is also a big concern.
Within Canada, our relative insulation from the great recession has unfortunately spared us a valuable lesson and consumer debt has not been paid down. In fact, Canadians are borrowing more, piling on consumer debt - credit cards, conventional bank loans, car loans, and lines of credit. At some point this ends and a spending vacuum could limit growth.
Perhaps this partially justifies the S&P/TSX Composite's poor performance on a relative basis, being up a scant 2.6% this year and about 7% since the start of 2012. Slumping commodity prices are also a major contributor to the underperformance of the resource-laden TSX.
So where does this epic tug-o-war leave us? Which one of these statements is true: "The stock market is overvalued" or "The stock market is undervalued"? Every day you can find pundits with a strong opinion either way.
From our perspective, both statements are simplistic and most often irrelevant. It is a market of stocks, not a stock market.
We do not recommend you buy "the market," when you look to beat the market. Our clients create their Small-Cap Growth Stock Portfolios with discipline by purchasing 8-12 cash producing stocks over a 12-18 month period. Our holding periods are typically from one to five years and beyond.
Over that period, the broader market will have its ups, when it is likely overvalued based on a number of metrics, and downs, when it may show as undervalued based on those same metrics. What is important to us and to you is whether your 8-12 stocks are continuing to create shareholder value through a number of company-specific metrics including cash flow increases, growth, a higher return of capital (dividends), and an improving balance sheet.
Outside of this, Mr. Market will create a great deal of "noise" on a day-to-day basis. Try not to pay too much attention - it will allow you to sleep far better each night.

So I read through waiting for the finale, only to be told its a "market of stocks" not a stock market - ie. the arguments from either side are irrelevant!
Um....sorry but you could have opened with that and saved me some time.

^ not so (anymore). Today's market is partially driven by asset allocation models and decisions hitting entire sectors as well as index funds, ETFs, closet indexing mutual funds and equity(index)derivatives/swaps. A buy or sell decision might be to buy a stock or a sector or a market.
Note: It would probably stretch the point to suggest any index derivatives influence is strong is since, despite trillions in notional value, these are mainly bookkeeping entries tied to the market, not directly into the market.

text: Madison Square Garden, New York City - Andy Lee (33-2, 23KOs), now as a junior middleweight, started badly by taking some hard shots and even got dropped pretty hard in the first. John Jackson (18-2, 15KOs) continued the assault in the next few rounds, and was trying to finish Lee off in the fifth round - but then Lee cracked him with a huge counter on the chin and Jackson went down face first. The referee quickly waved off the action as Jackson was out.

Beginning August 1, 2017, certain students in Grades 7 through 12 at East Washington will be subjected to random drug tests.
Not many programs have generated the buzz in Southern Indiana in recent years like the West Washington High School football program has.
Both teams
At 7:55 Sunday morning emergency workers were called to the old Newlon's Grocery Store building at the intersection of Highway 60 and Shorts Corner Road. According to Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Lucas Gray, the 2003 blue Ford F150 was driven by Daniel Floyd, who refused medical treatment at the scene. Gray said Floyd told him he was driving East on 60 toward Borden when he lost control of his vehicle. Gray said Floyd told him that's the last thing he remembers. Another vehicle parked at Newlon's suffered damage, but Gray said that appears to be a result of flying debris from the building. He said the Pierce-Polk Volunteer Fire Department, the Washington County EMS, Sheriff Roger Newlon and Tony Hildreth and Mark Blackman assisted on the scene. Gray said the accident is still being investigated.

He's the kind of guy you either love or dislike. For those who like him... it's something about his smile, his eyes, his hair, overall persona... it all comes together.
I've replayed the Kiss From a Rose videotape I made so many times I'm sure it will spaz and melt the next time I attempt it. The girls at work have gathered at lunch to watch it several times, too. This guy is indefinably sexy. I don't know what it is - he's not conventionally handsome - but he's certainly got my vote!

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello,Answers provided are for informational use only and do not confer patient-provider relationship. My name is ***** ***** I will help you.
There is no proof positive evidence for feminine intuition. However, it has been studied without extensive concrete evidence one way or the other.
It is known that women are better encoders and decoders of non-verbal communication. That may help explain some of what goes under the term. Another thing is that women have higher levels of estrogen and also higher levels of dopamine in their brains than makes, and this could possibly have something to do with it.
While there is no direct and absolute proof that women have that certain something that men don't have, or how it works, the scientific community would be the last to explain it as "the female's communications, logical, and/or analytical thinking skills may not be forthcoming?" There is a phenomenon where some women do seem to be able to discern what some men cannot, and they do not have a way of explaining it. Of course, when men have this they call it a "gut feeling" rather than "male intuition."
The jury is still out on whether it exists or not, and if it does for the scientific explanation for it.
Best regards,
What would be an example of a female's encoding of non-verbal communication? And how does estrogen or dopamine enhance predictive or diagnostic capabilitiy?
Non-verbal communication is anything that doesn't involve language. We send out over 10,000 non-verbal cmmunications per minute. If you roll your eyes every time your wife asks you to take out the trash, she picks up on that cue, and that allows her to predict how you will react to other tasks she might consider asking you to do. Of course, that is over-simplified, but you get the idea. It's also how poker players "read" the non-verbal communication of the other players to predict whether they really have a good hand or are just bluffing.
Scientific research continues on exactly how various hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. influence non-verbal communication, and predictive ability. If the answer were known, I would be happy to share it with you.
Then is the alleged correlation between estrogen / dopamine to higher levels of perception, diagnostic, or predictive capability your theory? Someone else's theory? Would this be pop psychology? Or is there any evidence correlating the two such that there is some scientific foundation to "feminine intuition" or even "gut feel", regardless of gender given that even males can have elevated levels of estrogen and/or dopamine?
No, it isn't pop psychology but real science, and certainly not my theory.
I think I've answered the rest of this. The jury is still out on exactly why some women have increased levels of perception and estrogen and dopamine are two of the scientific theories that psychoneuro researchers are working on. That is a whole field of science that has not yet found the answers.
So the takeaway here is that some scientific authority has measured human females as having higher levels of perception than men in some categories (encoding and decoding as an example), and the theory is that higher levels of estrogen and/or dopamine could be the causal agents although no such theory has been proven to date. Therefore, "feminine intuition" has still not been proven scientifically such that a female's perception should be taken as a proxy for causation.
Sorry if I stretched your patience in searching for a more precise answer. Or at least that was my "gut feel" based on your written responses (smiles.)

Hi, everyone. This is my first post. Also my first pregnancy. So I apologize in advance if I ask a lot of dumb questions. :) Right now I am about 5 weeks and 6 days since LMP and I've had three positives on the Dollar Store tests. I've also had two hCG blood tests, which is where my question comes in.
My fiance's family carries a translocated gene in their bloodline... I'll save the long explanation, but the short story is that about 50% of pregnancies (regardless of what gender carries the chromosome) end in miscarriages. His dad has it, his uncle has it, his aunt has it, and his sister has it. He has not been tested yet.
That being said, my CNM wanted to keep track of my hCG level to make sure it's not going down (decrease = miscarriage). Here's the facts:
Wednesday, June 22 (25-ish days past ovulation): hCG @ 23,000 mIU/ml
Friday, June 24 (46 hours later): hcG @ 35,000 mIU/ml
Most of you probably know that the number doubling typically indicates a good progression in pregnancy. Since it only went up by 12,000 (only!?), I'm a little concerned.
I've read several things to indicate that higher the level, the longer it takes to double. Does anyone have any experience with interpreting these numbers (or with a translocated chromosome issue)?
Thank you!
Welcome to MDC!! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I'm sorry to hear about the gene that your family carries; that must be very stressful for you when TTC! I don't have any direct experience to share regarding this type of gene, but I did want to say that your hCG levels are very high for how far along you are. Yes doubling time is what matters, but as you approach 6 weeks things start to level off and when your numbers are already that high I wouldn't be surprised if they took longer to double. Is there any chance that you're farther along than you think? Do you plan on getting an early u/s around 7 or 8 weeks? I would guess that a good heart rate at 8 weeks will be your best indicator of a viable pregnancy at this point.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Ugh, this is one of those things that makes doctors drive me CrAzY. First off (This is NOT what drives me crazy) beta numbers stop rising so fast after they get that high. As for the thing that drives me nuts....doctors make us think awful things are going to happen if our numbers don't double in 48 hours. They are supposed to double between 48-72 hours but no one ever tells you that. Your numbers look perfectly fine. I'm done ranting about doctors now. :D
Sorry about disappearing... I didn't see this post for a few days and thought maybe it got lost in the moderation shuffle. Everything is fine. Good heart rate at my 6 week ultrasound and everything. Now at a little over 8 weeks and thinking maybe we're okay. Still have to do genetic testing, though, which I'm not looking forward to.
I am in the same boat of you right now and scared out of my mind. Wondering on an update for your? I was 5 w 2 d and 19,340 HCG then 72 hrs later 5 w 5 d 34,110 so not quite double and I carry the tranlocator gene.

One of the things I take very seriously every Christmas is filling those lonely dangling stockings to the hilt with practical, affordable yet fun, stocking stuffers. Typically I get started before December rolls around, whenever I see a bargain or discount or something that would suit perfectly for a stocking stuffer.
This year I didn't get started until the first of December and thankfully, as of this writing, I have all stocking stuffers needed to fill all five children's stockings this year. Hooray for being done early.
I thought I would pass on some creative, inexpensive stocking stuffer ideas to you, dear readers. In hopes that it will make the chore of finding things to fill the stocking just a little bit easier this year.
Gift Cards – I list this one first, because many people don't think of it. You can $5.00 gift cards to all sorts of places, and they can buy what they want.
Gloves/Mittens/Ear Muffs – These can be found relatively cheap at discount chains. Drop a pair in a stocking and see the reaction as they excitedly try them on. Every kid loves a new pair of mittens.
Coin Purses/Wallets – Depending on where you are looking, you can often find cute coin purses and wallets for children at local discount chains and other places. Keep an eye on sale tables throughout the year, because if you plan ahead, you can get an expensive one for just a couple of dollars.
Paperback Book – A book is always a good gift. You can find books on sale at major book chains or shop at your local discount chain and pick up a new book as a stocking stuffer.
Toothbrush and Toothpaste – Each year we get our children a new toothbrush in their stocking. We try to get something fun and decorative, since the rest of the year when we throw them out and replace them we get traditional boring ones.
Watch for part two of this article posting later today, as well as dozens more articles dealing with frugal stocking stuffers (under $1.00 tomorrow).

With Independence Day just two weeks away, authorities are again warning residents about the danger of fireworks. With fires raging across the West, the warnings have an even greater urgency.
Firefighters have been saying for months that this fire season could become one of the worst on record.
"One small firecracker can start a fire with potential to burn people and property," San Diego's deputy fire chief, Tom Clark, said at a news conference held on illegal fireworks.
Children setting off so-called bottle rockets in canyons have triggered numerous fires and destroyed several homes over the years, he said.
It is illegal to possess fireworks in San Diego County.
Mike Neill, a fire prevention officer for the California Department of Forestry, said because of the acute fire hazard in the backcountry, authorities are being more vigilant than ever in watching for people with fireworks.
People who set off fireworks that lead to a fire not only can be prosecuted, but they also can be billed for the cost of fighting the fire, Neill said.
Sgt. Conrad Grayson of the Sheriff's bomb and arson unit said many fireworks are smuggled across the border from Mexico. Six times a year, the fireworks are gathered up and destroyed.
"Each time . . . we end up getting upwards of 20,000 pounds of the stuff," Grayson said.
Authorities are not just worried about fires.
Earlier this year, the city attorney's office in San Diego filed charges against the owner of a candy store who sold firecrackers to an 8-year-old boy in Logan Heights.
"The boy bought about 20 small firecrackers, lit one and when it did not ignite, put it in his pants pocket with 19 other firecrackers," said City Attorney Casey Gwinn.
Moments later, the firecracker exploded in the boy's pocket and ignited the other fireworks.
"The boy suffered third-degree burns on his back and legs," said Dr. Dan Lozano, clinical director of the UCSD Regional Burn Center. "He was left with permanent scarring and must undergo more surgeries. The injuries will last a lifetime."
The owner of the candy store pleaded guilty to selling fireworks, was sentenced to three years probation and fined $600. He also was sentenced to 100 hours of community service at a burn center.
People who have fireworks are encouraged to turn them in. San Diego residents can take the fireworks to a fire station for disposal without threat of arrest or prosecution.
A mass disposal is planned for Thursday, when thousands of fireworks will be destroyed at the Sheriff's range in Spring Valley.
"Fireworks are just an extraordinary hazard," said Capt. Jeff Carle of the San Diego Metro Arson Strike Team.

I'm not very good with PHP, I've had a vBulletin forum and I managed to redesign it, that's pretty much it actually.. just so you know.
I have a website now that I have designed and I want to add the functionality of a CMS to it. I'm tired of updating all the pages in notepad. I also want to make it possible to have users and assign them rights to update specific pages (some are writers, others answer questions for a F.A.Q. section, some create events, some update values of objects and so on). Would this be possible with this CMS in a way that I basicly can paste the codes on the right pages and then administer them from within the CMS?
I have a news section. I want to replace the content (the news entries) with a script in my html code so that I can just login to a CMS and enter new posts there.
My coding for the layout is very fragile so to speak, so I don't want any new markup to be added that would mess with my website layout. All that should be possible to change in a post should be: BOLD/ITALIC/UNDERLINE, add links with different presets of classes, add H1's with different classes (I have different ones of each, some links have one css-class, others have another, same goes with H1's that I differentiate depending on where they are in the same way as the links) and insertion of images and of course alignment of text and images (left, center and right). Very basic really.
Also: I would like to have an image uploader with categories so that I, and users can upload images and then easily use them when writing new content!
Would this CMS fit or would I have a lot of hassle trying to incorporate it? And how much does it cost? Is it one time price or running monthly?

John Wall wants to the be the greatest point guard who ever played the game. That's what he tells ESPN's cameras while they were filming a short video in conjunction with his appearance in ESPN The Magazine's 2013 Body Issue.
But Wall isn't that far removed from the edge of the draft bust abyss. After a disappointing second season that saw his effective field goal percentage (already low at 42.7 percent) dip to 42.4 percent with his assists per game also drop from his rookie average of 8.3 to 8.0, Wall appeared to be on his way to an injury-plagued NBA career beset by unrealized potential. This was especially true after a non-traumatic patella injury kept him from the first half of the 2012-13 season.
That's why the latter portion of last season was so great to see, with an improved jump-shot (not to mention better form) to combine with his still-devastating penetration.
Wall's transformation came about despite looking far from svelte early in his rehabilitation process. But now he has a more tone body and his Washington Wizards have a lot more to be exited about with a healthy Wall, a blossoming Bradley Beal, a do-it-all rookie small forward in Otto Porter, and a re-signed 3&D staple, Martell Webster. All is looking good for Wall, so of course now is the time to get naked for a national publication.
How do you feel Wall and the Wizards will do in the upcoming 2013-14 season?

text: At the end of last season I compiled stats to figure out what exactly Davis did to the offense (here it is: http://www.houstontexans.com/fan_zone/messageboards/showthread.php?t=909) So after 5 games this season, I have complied stats once again. My stats are based on 2 games and a 1/2 of the Vikings game so the time is split in half. Davis played a big role in the first half against the Vikes and a small role in the second so I looked at the play-by-play and got the stats for each half. I will now compare what happens to Carr and Johnson when Davis plays a big role and when Davis plays a small role. When Davis plays a big role in the offense- 2-1/2 games (Chargers, Lions, first half against Vikes) David Carr's Stats: Completions - 50 Attempts - 72 Yards - 626 Touchdowns - 2 INTs - 3 Avg per completion - 12.5 Andre Johnson Stats: Receptions - 13 Yards - 199 TDs - 1 Avg - 15.3 Total Points scored by offense - 36 Total Turnovers by the offense - 7 Record 0-3 (We lost the first half of the Vikes game) When Davis plays a small or no role in the offense 2-1/2 games (KC, Oakland. other 1/2 of Vikes game) David Carr's Stats: Completions - 46 Attempts - 78 Yards - 749 Touchdowns - 5 INTs - 1 Avg per completion - 16 Andre Johnson Stats: Receptions - 16 Yards - 326 TDs - 3 Avg - 20.4 Total Points scored by offense - 68 (I took out the 2 defensive TDs) Total Turnovers by the offense - 2 Record 3-0 (We won the second half of the Vikes game) The important stats are the total points scored, the turnovers, and the wins by the teams. The stats are excat opposites. You may take these stats as you want to take them, but I will stay opposed to Davis playing a big role in the offense.

Slash Contributes to 'Phineas & Ferb' Soundtrack, Calls Series His 'Guilty Pleasure'
When you think of Slash, you think of loud riffs, fast women, hard liquor, and…cartoons?
Well, not that last one. But maybe that'll change with the iconic guitarist's appearance on the soundtrack for 'Phineas & Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension,' a Disney Channel original movie scheduled to premiere on August 5.
As it turns out, Slash is a huge fan of the hit 'Phineas & Ferb' series, which he calls his "guilty pleasure." He described his contribution to the soundtrack as "very rock and roll, even for a cartoon."
Slash will also appear in an animated video for the movie, which follows the Disney duo "as they go on their biggest adventure yet."
Phineas & Ferb is my absolute favorite disney show now. I love the creative nature of the whole thing and it's constantly changing. It's awesome! The fact that one of the most recognized and greatest guitar players loves the show and add's his own personal flare on it makes me oh so happy!

San Diego-based utility holding company Sempra Energy announced reduced second quarter earnings on Thursday based on a one-time write-down on natural gas pipeline investments.
Profits of $62 million included a $179 million charge for the reduced value of its investment in the Rocky Express Pipeline, which runs from Colorado to Ohio.
That put earnings down 87 percent from last year's $503 million second-quarter figure, pumped up by a write-up of South American utility investments.
Construction of the Sunrise Powerlink boosted profits at subsidiary San Diego Gas & Electric to $95 million, up 34 percent from $71 million for the same period last year. The 117-mile transmission line extends from San Diego east into the Imperial Valley.
"We are pleased with our operating results during the quarter and, after adjusting for the impairment charge, remain on course to meet our 2012 earnings guidance" for annual earnings, said Debra Reed, CEO of Sempra, in a statement.
Southern California Gas earnings dipped to $53 million from $59 million in 2011.
Sempra's Mexican operations had improved earnings -- $43 million for the second quarter versus $35 million a year ago.
An increase in solar and wind assets helped Sempra Renewables boost profits to $24 million from $4 million a year ago, according to the unaudited financial statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Losses at the Sempra Natural Gas division extended beyond the pipeline write-down. Excluding the charge, it lost $14 million in the second quarter, compared with earnings of $47 million the previous second quarter.
Sempra owns a 25 percent share in the 1,600-mile Rockies Express line. It re-evaluated the fair market value as Kinder Morgan explores a sale of its 50 percent stake.
"Although the pipeline is contracted through late 2019, the impairment charge reflects the impact of the existing weak market conditions on the pipeline's value," Sempra said in a news release.

CHICAGO — A new study has found that a recently approved drug for HIV produces fewer unpleasant side effects during the first three months of therapy than the standard treatment, according to published reports.
MedPage Today reported that a study presented at the Interscience Conference on Anti-Microbial Agents and Chemotherapy found that Johnson & Johnson's Edurant (rilpivirine) was easier to take than Bristol-Myers Squibb's Sustiva (efavirenz).
The study found that use of Edurant resulted in fewer of the neurological side effects that patients experience when taking Sustiva, such as dizziness and abnormal dreams or nightmares, as well as rashes. The study was an analysis of data from the "ECHO" and "THRIVE" clinical trials, which enrolled a total of 1,368 patients.

StockTwits Tightens Posting Rules
San Diego-based StockTwits, the online community for posting and sharing stock related messages, has tightened its posting rules, saying yesterday that it will now require users to create their an account in order to message on the firm's streams. The firm offers up stock-related micro messaging services, similar to Twitter messages but categorized and sorted by stock symbol. The firm said the new requirement will help it implement feature enhancements, including member follow and block features, and improved tagged message filtering. Although the firm did not mention it, the rule will probably cut down on anonymous postings to the service by unscrupulous individuals, a problem endemic to stock message boards and sites.
