8 Rheumatoid Arthritis Myths
If you have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a good first step is to learn as much as you can about your disease. In addition to understanding RA better, you may be surprised at how many myths exist. Many people still think that all arthritis is the same, or that only old people get RA. Debunking common myths will help you manage your condition and communicate your experience to your loved ones. read more
The Ultimate Arthritis-Friendly Shoe Guide
Our feet, with their 52 bones, 66 joints and more than 200 muscles, tendons and ligaments, are high-precision instruments that connect us to the earth, support our skeleton and provide balance and mobility. Yet we often neglect and even abuse them – forcing them into footwear that doesn't fit, that sacrifices function and comfort for style, or that is simply the wrong shoe choice for our particular feet. Anyone who has worn a fabulous pair of shoes for a special occasion, only to tear them off at the first possible moment, knows how painful a bad shoe decision can be. That's especially true when choosing shoes for arthritic feet. read more

Substances & Homeopatic Remedies
Cannabis indica
Requests: If you need specific information on this remedy - e.g. a proving or a case info on toxicology or whatsoever, please post a message in the Request area www.homeovision.org/forum/ so that all users may contribute.
Cannabis indica
plant genus named 1728, from Gk. kannabis "hemp," a Scythian or Thracian word. Also source of Rus. konoplja, Pers. kanab, Lith. kanapes "hemp," and Eng. canvas and possibly hemp.
The name cannabis is thought to be of Scythian origin. Possibly it has an earlier origin in Semitic languages like Hebrew, in Exodus 30:23 God commands Moses to make a holy anointing oil of myrrh, sweet cinnamon, kaneh bosm, and kassia. Kaneh bosm (Hebrew kannabos or kannabus) "kan" in means "reed" or "hemp", while "bosm" means "aromatic". In the Greek translations of the old testament "kan" was rendered as "reed", leading to English translations as "sweet calamus" (Exodus 30:23), sweet cane (Isaiah 43:24; Jeremiah 6:20) and "calamus" (Ezekiel 27:19; Song of Songs 4:14).
Sara Benetowa of the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw is quoted in the Book of Grass as saying: "The astonishing resemblance between the Semitic 'kanbos' and the Scythian 'cannabis' leads to the assumption that the Scythian word was of Semitic origin. These etymological discussions run parallel to arguments drawn from history.
Comparing the English word hemp and the Greek word kannabis shows that the word came down from the Common Indo-European language. Words like kanapish for "hemp" occur in some Finno-Ugrian languages. It is likely that, soon after agriculture started, hemp as a cultivated plant spread widely, carrying its name with it.
Traditional name
Other Names: East Indian Cannabis sativa.
Common Names: Indian Hemp. Hashish. Marijuana. Bhang. Ganja.
Used parts
Homeopathic preparation: Tincture of leaves and twigs or of extract. (Bradford's Index).

Gail MarksJarvis
March 24, 2013
We've been here before.
It's a weekend reminiscent of the jittery past year. Investors are on edge as they gaze at political leaders across the Atlantic for assurances they will extend a last-minute bailout to a struggling European country and insulate the global economy from the shock of a collapse.
This time, the fear is not a financial meltdown of Greece, Spain or Italy, but rather the small country of Cyprus. And the question is whether Cyprus will be willing to bend to painful European demands so it can qualify for a bailout from other eurozone members.
Given Cyprus' size, the worst of banking disasters, alone, wouldn't be a major world event. But with the other European countries still troubled and financial systems globally linked, investors realize that disease in Cyprus' financial system could infect other areas. No country is an island anymore, not even Cyprus. So investors will be on alert until they see whether Cyprus' government and Europe's leaders agree on an aid package by Monday's deadline.
Last week, speculation began anew about Cyprus potentially leaving the eurozone and disrupting the economy of Europe. Such a shock could disrupt corporate profits worldwide, including those of American companies. Large U.S. corporations derive about a third of their sales in foreign markets, with half in Europe.
Reports by Caterpillar and FedEx gave investors pause last week as the companies noted slow overseas markets. Caterpillar, which makes construction and mining equipment, said European sales dropped 9 percent during the last three months. The Asia-Pacific region, which depends on exports to Europe, was an even worse market for Caterpillar. Those sales plunged 26 percent.
The fear of an imploding eurozone — which was prevalent last year — had faded from investor consciousness this year. Investors were disarmed last summer when Mario Draghi, leader of the European Central Bank, promised "to do whatever it takes" to keep the eurozone from going through the shock of a breakup.
But the pledge didn't wipe away banking problems or recession in Europe, where countries like Greece and Spain have unemployment of more than 25 percent. And in Cyprus, mounting bad loans have left banks in danger of collapse.
"The land mines we knew were out there keep popping up," said Joseph Lupton, an economist at JPMorgan.
The issues are part financial and part political. No bailout comes without conditions, and the conditions that were being demanded in exchange for bailing out Cyprus set off a run on the bank.
Under consideration was a plan to charge people and businesses 6.75 percent to 9.9 percent for having money in the bank. The reaction was so strong, a fee on small savings reportedly has been removed from consideration while a massive bank restructuring plan is being negotiated.
Reports that negotiations were progressing Friday calmed U.S. markets. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 90 points after losing 90 points the previous day. The Stoxx 600 index of European stocks didn't fare as well. It lost 1.14 percent for the week, while the Dow lost 0.01 percent.
After being battered by angst over Europe last spring, U.S. investors have become somewhat numb. They are used to bitter battles between Europeans over bailouts that end in last-minute agreements and dispel fears of financial meltdowns and a eurozone breakup.
Yet Jurgen Michels, a European strategist for Citigroup, said Friday, "Developments of the last few days have increased in our view the chances of Cyprus leaving the European Monetary Union and maybe even the European Union."
If that were to happen, he thinks it would "likely lead to a new escalation of the crisis and probably to increased pressures on Greece," but he doesn't think other financially distressed countries would follow, despite conjecture of that nature.
If he's correct, that would mean a major concern — a massive breakup of euro-using nations — would not happen. Yet if people and companies worry about the possibility of countries leaving the euro, they may withdraw money from banks in countries on the periphery of Europe, said Michels, and that could destabilize conditions further.

Boston >Food & Dining > Mistral
223 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA | Directions 0211642.347485 -71.073295

Neighborhoods: Central, Downtown
This restaurant had gone down hill since it opened. The dried flower arrangements have cobwebs and dust mites. The restrooms are filthy and disgusting. I cannot comment on the food bc the restaurant is so filthy.
My favorite Brunch in Boston – One of the best meals of my LIFE was at Mistral... a former office holiday dinner in the wine room. But that is not what this review is about. This review is about the best meal of the day.... BRUNCH.
Now, I consider myself to be a brunch aficionado. I've indulged in this fantastic midday ritual at a sizable number of places in and around Boston. So please hear me when I say this.
MISTRAL. Is. Boston's. Best. Brunch.
You may doubt me. This is fine. But let me count the ways:
1. Brunch is a great way to enjoy 5-star restaurant without 5-star prices. Gotta say, I feel pretty money walking into this joint.
2. Mistral has variety and depth to their brunch menu. Boston brunch spots seem to do the same tired dishes.... over.... and over.... I never ever want another Gran Marnier French Toast. It's a snoozefest! Last time I went, the table ordered: Classic Eggs Benedict with pork loin & Burgundy truffle; prime sirloin burger with gruyere, duxelles & rosemary frites; spaghettini with poached duck egg & shaved ham; and my dish: jumbo lump crab & chive omelet. On prior occasions we've had belgian waffle with banana rum compote & maple ice cream; and my favorite, the winter foraged mushroom, spinach & gruyere fritatta. Basically what I'm getting at is the food is thoughtful, original, and there's more than one option for each brunch category: sweet, egg, lunch.
3. Okay, so the menu is varied. It wouldn't matter a lick if the food sucked. But it doesn't. It's brilliant and beautiful, like a star on a clear summer night. Okay... maybe I like this place too much. But hear me out! The dishes are composed to enhance each ingredient's best qualities. And something as simple and throwaway as oven-roasted cherry tomato garnish MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE ALL THE CHERRY TOMATOES IN ALL OF THE CONTINENT AND ROAST THEM AND EAT THEM. Ahem. Sorry about that. What was I saying? Oh right, the food is delicious.
4. The service is attentive, helpful, not rushed. Service you expect at a fine dining establishment. Though I suppose there are still a few places out there who may snub my ragtag crew of tattooed, Chuck Taylored, big furry hat wearing peeps, Mistral is not one of them.
5. Big awesome point for being RIGHT OUTSIDE Back Bay station, so that when it's 3 degrees, it's but a short sprint to this warm enclave of delicious.
Great Dining Experience – I've been to Mistral 3 times now (over the past couple of years) and I can honestly say that the food is quite tastey, the service is good and the atmosphere of the restaurant is amazing since it's both elegant and refreshing. The restaurant is expensive but I can say that it's worth the money.
Suitable ambiance for a special event – I've come here for a few my birthday dinners over the years and am never disappointed. Definitely the ambiance is representative of the South of France and I clearly remember the actual Mistral in Provence, that famous wind that sweeps through violently and often out of nowhere. This restaurant has the same sort of enchantment and allure of being in Southern France itself whatwith not only the shrubbery in pots around the room, but also with the gynormous photos of lavendar fiedls and other Provencal scenery hanging around the room. The high ceilings give you a great sense of vertical space and rising. For my special occasion, I had the Kir Royale, and escargot, and the catch of the day which was Red Snapper. For dessert the profiteroles were delectable, covered in not only yummo fudge sauce but also pistachios. My friends and I were well attended to and the service was 5-star. Would definitely go again for a special occasion and/ or to just sit up at the bar which has a lively and buzzing atmosphere separate from the dining room, with the shrubs acting as a natural and pretty noise / wall barrier.
Oh, please! Let it just be because it was Restaurant Week – I've always really enjoyed my experience at Mistral, and have made it a regular choice for business dining. But last night was an unmitigated disaster. Hectic and unorganized, the stage was set early when I was unable to get a cocktail at the bar, and made worse when twice during the three courses, I was served the wrong meal. Perhaps I should have taken it, though, as food was a surprising let-down: my salmon was overcooked and under seasoned, and I feel ill this morning.
The real issue, however, was the service. Our waiter was rude and abrupt, interrupting conversation and rolling his eyes at questions on the menu. I finished my glass of wine before my entree arrived, and he took the glass away without asking if I'd like another. Dessert was served without asking if we'd like coffee. But the most embarrassing aspect of the evening happened as we were collecting our coats at the front of the restaurant: our waiter chased after us, loudly calling out that we'd forgotten to pay. As everyone turned to stare, we tried to talk discreetly, but he kept his voice loud. It seems that we'd left the unsigned "guest copy" credit card slip on top in the bill folder and though the signed receipt was underneath, he hadn't noticed before causing a scene. He scarcely even apologized as we called it to his attention. Atrocious.
I pray that this was a fluke experience brought on by the stress of Restaurant Week, but I've already changed the location of my client dinner next week.
great place if.... – I live right down the street from Mistral and have been going there for years. The food is excellent (love the fois gras appetizer), the atmosphere is terrific...however, the service at the bar is absolutely unbearable. I went there this past weekend with my boyfriend and we were pleasantly surprised to see it was quiet at the bar. Most likely because it was a holiday weekend. I swear, we sat at the bar and waited at least 10 minutes for someone...anyone to acknowledge us!!!!!! We just wanted to order a cocktail. Probably several. You would think that one of the 2 bartenders could have even addressed us. I don't know, perhaps with a "I'll be right with you." I mean really. IHow rude. Isn't that how they make their money? through tips? Needless to say, we walked out and gave our money to another establishment who actually was courteous and acknowledged us upon sitting down.
Get it together. The place may be busy with the folks driving in from the suburbs because they've heard great things but you should also pay attention to the regular neighborhood customers who would probably frequent it more than when we can get a babysitter and head into town. I will say, that when we are looking a place to go and have a nice bottle of wine or meet friends out for drinks, it will not be at Mistral. Dinner with a reservation, perhaps someday when I get the anger out of my system for how we were treated. There are many other good options all within an arms reach.
Good service and great food – Aside from the random hostess or clientele that may seem to look you up and down, this place gets it right on all fronts. From their amazing ambience to their tenderloin pizza to their mini ice cream sandwiches, this place knows what they are doing. Their service is just about top notch and their management staff is wonderful. Either make reservations or expect to wait for a seat in the bar but either way it is worth it.
Great Atmosphere and Food – We went here for Christmas Eve dinner for the first time and we were really impressed with the service. They were extremely busy and it did take a little longer than usual for our bottle of wine and food to come, however our server was very charming and was up front with us about the situation and took very good care of us. The decor is very chic and comfortable at the same time. The fois gras with duck confit and brioche was the best we have ever had and the chefs are obviously masters at creating great sauces and combining flavors. The Colorado lamb and the steak were if the highest quality and cooked perfectly. I would definitely eat here again, however the food is very rich and would not be a place I could eat every week if I wanted to stay in shape (not that I would not want to!)
Top three for an NYC dining experience in Boston. – For those of you in the know, the headline should cover it all. This is a large format restaurant so don't expect an NYC boutique dining experience. The one difference with NYC is that this place has not very well dressed people at the bar. I mean respectably dressed but not cool. The food is excellent, though the portions are approaching monstrous, which was not what I had in mind the day after Thanksgiving. Had the duck--excellent but could not finish it. Wine list is excellent.
Train wreck on a plate – My boyfriend and I went here for a romantic dinner. It was a total disappointment from start to finish. The valet service was nice, however. We ordered our dinner and literally five minutes later were being served our appetizers. Clearly these were NOT freshly made. I had the foie gras with duck. When the appetizer came out, it looked like a circus on the plate - some sort of enormous umbrella. The bottom of the umbrella consisted of a soggy monstrosity of bread underneath with duck shreds on top. Above the duck shreds was a huge piece of foie gras. It was totally impossible to eat as designed, and the duck tasted like pot-roast. The bread was both nasty and useless. I usually love foie gras, but it tasted like bone marrow. Though the portion size was huge. My boyfriend got the tenderloin carpaccio, which was quite good. Then we both had the tenderloin entree. Each tenderloin was a whopping $44. For $44 I would expect a great piece of beef. Instead I got a chunk of beef that was too charred on the outside, accompanied by an overpowering sauce, bland asparagus, okay whipped horseradish potatoes, and a totally hideous charred piece of garlic bread, which made no sense in light of the rest of the dish. This too came to us rather quickly, indicating that it was not made fresh to order. We decided to brave the dessert. I had the warm chocolate torte. It was bearable, but clearly had been warmed up in the microwave. My boyfriend had the creme brulee, which came out cold. At the end of the night, we spent a whopping $290, for a train wreck on a plate. Not impressed at all. Will never again go back.

Robin Huebner Reports: Sanford gala a mix of glitz, touch of guiltFARGO – Organizers of a black-tie fundraiser Saturday night for cancer patients and research say it raised $1.1 million – using a bit of peer pressure to raise $250,000 from the attendees alone the night of the event.
By: Robin Huebner, INFORUM
FARGO – Organizers of a black-tie fundraiser Saturday night for cancer patients and research say it raised $1.1 million – using a bit of peer pressure to raise $250,000 from the attendees alone the night of the event.
The inaugural Roger Maris Gala Black Tie Event for Cancer – a $100-per-person affair at the Fargodome called "Waves of Wonder" – drew more than 900 people.
"It was probably the biggest event I've ever been involved in," said Greg Haney, who photographed the event along with his brother, Gabe Haney.
Jane Bartholomay, major gifts officer at Sanford Health Foundation, said while she doesn't have exact figures yet, the $1.1 million – which includes the cost of the event – breaks down roughly as follows:
• Gala sponsors donated $250,000, either in the form of cash or in-kind donations. The Forum was among those sponsors. Ticket sales also helped cover the cost of the event.
• Gate City Bank donated a $500,000 endowment to support pediatric oncology programs at Roger Maris Cancer Center.
• Bartholomay says the remainder of the total figure, more than $250,000, was raised by donations from attendees that night.
The evening began with a video and live music segment focusing on three patients recently diagnosed with cancer.
Organizers then wasted no time in making their funding appeal.
Bartholomay explained how the pledge pitch went.
She says immediately after the video presentation, Sanford Health Foundation President Brian Mortenson came on stage to announce Gate City Bank's $500,000 donation, challenging everyone in the audience to do their part.
"We had distributed pledge cards and pens to everyone at their tables," she said. "When they filled out their card, we asked people to hold them up."
Then volunteers went up to the donor and exchanged the pledge card for a Roger Maris Gala pin, which featured all the colors that signify different types of cancer.
It wasn't hard to pick out donors in the crowd. The pins were adorned with bright blue flashing lights.
"It made the people who didn't have a pin feel guilty," Haney chuckled.
Haney, who took hundreds of photos of couples in front of a crimson-colored Rolls Royce brought in for the event, said Sanford would be mailing out the complimentary pictures soon.
The evening featured many unique touches, including a song, "Waves of Wonder," composed for the event.
The opening invocation was sung by gospel singer Robert Robinson of Minneapolis, who brought his choir along to perform.
"Some people told me they'd attended many galas in the Twin Cities, and none of them compared to this one," Bartholomay said.
The event that took more than four days to set up had to be torn down immediately to make way for the Mannheim Steamroller concert the next night. All the carpet, tables, chairs, sculptures, staging, electronics and video screens had to be hauled away.
One of the key planners, Sanford Health Foundation Development Officer Amy Hinkemeyer, says they finished up that huge task at 5 a.m. Sunday, putting an end to nine months of planning.
And now, the planning begins for next year's gala.

Guide to waterproof cycling jackets

At Tuesday night's town council meeting work session, Ohatchee Mayor Steve Baswell said that since December, when it approved participation in the Department of Defense's Law Enforcement Surplus Office program, the council has been able to acquire a dump truck, a Humvee for the Police Department and two generators.
"We were pleasantly surprised," Baswell said of the amount of equipment they'd received through the program in just the first month. "This is going to be stuff we can use."
Baswell said the generators in particular are important pieces of equipment for the town that still has several houses using a pump water system. In case of a mass power outage, Baswell said, the generators will ensure water is still getting to the houses on the outskirts of town.
The program gives surplus gear to towns that need it on a first come, first serve basis at no cost, but municipalities are responsible for transportation.
"You can't beat the price on what we're getting folks," Baswell said. "This is some quality merchandise."
At the regular meeting, James Edgar of Edgar and Associates presented the council with its 2012 audit report. Edgar said the report was "materially correct," and reported no issues or problems with compliance. Edgar said the report had a quick three-month turnaround thanks to the cooperative town hall staff.
The only other item on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting was a brief report by the council about possible road improvements. No action was taken, but the council reviewed a list of roads in the town that might need patching or resurfacing work — about a tenth of a mile in all out of the city's 20 miles of road.
Baswell said before the council can take action on the roads, he needs to sit down with the Calhoun County engineer to figure out if some of the roads are Ohatchee's or the county's responsibility.
"We need to get something in writing, so future generations of council members and county employees know," he said. "And that way if people call us about roads, it's not like neither one of us sounds like we know what's what."

High Level Agenda (0.5MB PDF)
In Manassas, running an automobile business is very common. You will even find many tire dealers in Manassas, VA. If you are into the same business you should consider teaming up with tire distributors. This is Cleaning goods move to expand options for customers and increase your profit margins. The wholesale dealers give the retail businesses a chance to apply for distributor accounts. The account is based on type of business, Bath mat positive reference from other people of the Manpa Breaker Limited Edition and the credit history. Once the account is made, access to huge inventory of tire discounts is available. Mostly major manufacturers will provide you discount tires.
Finding good tire dealers
The first thing to keep in http://www.etudecp.com while finding tire dealers in Manassas, VA is location. The distributor's location is very essential. For instance, if you operate in New York, then do not choose some tire dealer from California. The フランシラ and shipping times are affected by the dealer's location. Anyways, every tire dealer works in his specific area and does not crack deals outside his vicinity. If the deals are at a bigger level and you buy loads of tires at one go, then it is fine if you choose someone outside your geographical region. Choosing tire dealers outside Manassas, VA would be possible, if the prices are less and the inventory selection is pretty good.
There are some tire distributors who give tires on credit too. So if you feel like buying チュチュベビ, then hunt for dealers who would offer you this payment option. Many tire dealers in Manassas, VA will check your background and do a credit check. If you do not have a very strong credit history, do not fret and apply for it. You can make payments online, if your credit is バルブ表示. Please note that late payments will incur interest. Also they annoy the dealers so make sure you avoid that from happening.
It is very important to know the number of tires that the http://www.fiestapaw.com stock at one time before you open up an account. Talk to the dealers regarding this and then take a decision. Also inquire about the square feet area of their warehouses. This will give you an idea about how many ヘアバンド can be stored. The agenda here is that if the dealership is pretty big then it will fetch you great results in terms of pricing and higher availability rate for products. The smaller dealerships will not offer best rates and they do not even have enough tires unlike their larger competitors. These are the various factors that you should keep トイラジコン in mind before make decisions.

I had an idea...I think it's a brilliant idea but I want to see what you fine people think.
I was thinking of planning a reunion for the members of TA, in "real life." I'm not talking about some atheist event with speakers or an "agenda," I have in mind to throw a party, but a party with "class." I'm very good at putting on events and I was thinking more like a meet up some time next year (2014), some time before school starts for the kids but not around any holidays, possibly next August.
I thought it would be fun to have a relaxed atmosphere over a single weekend, (Friday, Saturday, Sunday sort of thing). Not a crazy frat house party but more like a beach house getaway vacation, somewhere that we can go swimming in the ocean and beach volleyball, sip margaritas and bring the family, kids, significant others welcome...a true reunion just to kick it and have fun!
I was thinking something like this should be planned starting now. I would want to make it low cost, simple, and just plain good fun.
What do you think? Would you like to meet the faces behind the avatars?
I had the destination of Charleston SC in mind, simply because I have connections there that could provide an amazing setting, but I'm open to feedback. I thought SC also so those from Europe don't have to come as far, although I'm aware that there are TA members world wide so it's going to be harder some more than others, but the destination doesn't matter too much at this point. I'm just wondering if you all would be interested?
Views: 401
Thanks! More than anything I just wanted to get an idea if people would be interested. I think it would be awesome. A little hard to plan logistically but hey, it COULD work and I think it would be a blast!
I could do London or the USA. My avatar is "Science doG". If there are fundamentalists around I should be kept on a leash at all times. For someone without a master I am well behaved !!
Uh-oh, we better pick a more secular environment. Perhaps London would be a bit better. I'm afraid if we put the setting somewhere with too many theists we'll run out of dog treats. Everything has gone up in price lately!
Reg, are you likely to be anywhere near us in London next weekend?
I could go along with something like this. (Heck I've already discussed it with a few people in chat.)
However, we might need a rule: no posting photos of avatared users on line. Many are hiding behind their avatars for good reasons; and in no case should one gratuitously "out" someone.
Of course! think of it like a "family reunion." Just good ol' clean fun. No reason to get childish and do something to hurt another person. The point is to just get to meet some of the people we talk to often.
I know of other online groups who have done similar things and it has been a raging success. I think it could be for us too.
I agree; I've seen it happen. And a shit tonne of pictures get posted too. Gotta make it clear from the outset NO posting a pic of someone without their permission.
Count me in - as long as I get a couple of weeks warning, I should be good to go :)
I'm very much in! I would love to see all of your lovely faces in real life.
I should say though that I am my avatar so everyone is going to be disappointed. No big reveal for me.

The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh welcomed the Olympic Torch to Windsor Castle on Monday.
Hello ~ Royal seal of approval for the Olympic torch
In the castle's quadrangle the royal couple watched as 74-year-old Gina Macgregor ran into the open space proudly carrying the flame.
Moments earlier, grey skies which had been threatening all day unleased a torrential downpour. So Mrs Macgregor arrived soaking wet when she was met by the Queen, wearing a rain cape and carrying an umbrella.
Laughing, she told the couple: "I looked fine this morning," to their great amusement.

That's because the investors are Tennessee Tech business students.
With a 43.1 percent return on $100,000 over the last four months of 1998, the students placed second among 18 southern public universities in the Tennessee Valley Authority's Investment Challenge, a program helping business schools teach money management.
Second only to the University of Kentucky's 45.5 percent return, Tennessee Tech bettered the Standard & Poor's 500 average of 29 percent growth and TVA's professional investment managers' 30 percent growth.
"We had a good strategy which involved 'buying in' when the market hit its bottom last August and October," said Deryl Martin, Tennessee Tech associate professor of economics, finance and marketing. "Holding most of those stocks for the long run paid off."
TVA set up the three-year competition with $1.8 million from its nuclear decommissioning fund. TVA established the approximately $560 million fund to meet financial obligations for decommissioning its six nuclear units. Each school was given $100,000 to invest, with certain guidelines and oversight from a trustee bank.
Alabama A&M University placed third with a 40.1 percent return. Other competitors included Middle Tennessee State University, Austin Peay State University, Tennessee State University, East Tennessee State University and all three University of Tennessee campuses, as well as major universities from Mississippi and Alabama. Although TVA did not release the averages of other schools, organizers said none of the schools lost money.
The results were the first of the three-year project, which began last year. Tennessee Tech received a $10,000 cash award for placing second. Some of the funds will be used to expand the size of and add computer equipment to the university's TVA Investment Challenge Classroom.
Martin said he stressed to students that active portfolio management involves the "what have you done for me lately" principle.
"You have to constantly search for the next good stock, cut your losses quickly and let winnings ride longer than you might think," Martin said. "I impressed upon students that numbers are only half the game, that a vision of what Americans will buy tomorrow is equally important."

Patterson to ASU fans: 'Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?'
Originally published: Feb 13, 2013 - 4:04 pm
In good years, the Devils tend to draw fairly well. In the not so good years, not so much.
Athletic director Steve Patterson, a guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf during "Newsmakers Week", said fan support has a direct effect on the team's chance for success.
"I've been very transparent and had some difficult conversations at times," Patterson said. "I think people in the community have the opportunity to be part of the solution or part of the problem.
"And you can wake up every day and look at that in a lot of aspects of your life. Are you part of the solution or part of the problem?"
Football fans may be leaning towards becoming part of the solution, as Patterson said ticket sales are up for the 2013 season. However recent history is littered with instances where fans have not been as generous with their support. Patterson said the university is working hard to change perception of the school and make people feel good about being ASU alums, but added if they want to see top-level success they'll need to step up, too.
"If you really do love ASU and you really do want us to go somewhere," Patterson said, "and you really do want to see great athletic teams and see our athletes graduate, which they do at far greater rates...and you want to see them continue to have success, then you need to opt in to being part of the solution and support the school.
"You know, we're going to have good years and bad years, we're going to have good players and bad players. These are not professional athletes, these are student-athletes that are trying to get their degree and doing the best they can every day to win their events that they're involved in."

Yigal Azrouel - New York: Spring 2010
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) "Experiments in geometry" was the concept behind Yigal Azrouel's spring collection. A well-known master of downtown chic, the designer used drastic jet and nude color blocking to create a dramatic and harsh contrast. Jagged black bandeau tops brought an edge to billowy white tanks and angular linen blazer oozed a coolness from each of its wide-set strips. The ash bomber jacket with exaggerated lapels was decidedly Yigal, and a crowd favorite with its distressed lambskin and studded shoulders. But it wasn't all rough and serious. Yigal employed a muted Aztec print to break up the mood. Explained the designer, "I tried to create a print that was more classic and that worked with the collection and the graphic lines."

Grand Bank downgraded to one star by BauerFinancialby Jeff Ostrowski
BauerFinancial's latest bank safety ratings are out today, and what was once a flood of downgrades has slowed to a trickle.
Grand Bank & Trust's safety rating was cut to one star, or "troubled," in the fourth quarter, down from two stars, or "problematic," in the third quarter. West Palm Beach-based Grand Bank lost $18 million last year and is under regulatory orders to raise capital — an issue it solved with last week's announcement of a sale to First Bank & Trust of Indiantown.
Not much movement elsewhere on the list. Bank of Belle Glade and Palm Beach Community Bank keep their ratings of five stars, or "superior," while Eurobank and First People's Bank remain stuck at zero, BauerFinancial's lowest mark.

"He was our No.1 candidate"
Former Arkansas OC Paul Petrino
Posted Jan 29, 2013
FOR MOST VANDAL FANS, THE LOSS OF A CONFERENCE HOME in 2013 was cause enough for concern. The need to replace the head coach and rebuild the program couldn't have come at a worse time. But Idaho AD Rob Spear found the candidate he was looking for, hiring Arkansas OC PAUL PETRINO to lead the Vandal football program. Inside Dr. Spear talks about his selection, and his expectations for the future.
With all the uncertainty of conference realignment still in full swing, and with the Vandals preparing an FBS independent schedule for the 2013 season, it seemed (for many football fans) the last thing the University of Idaho needed was to be engaging in a coaching search at the same time. But that is what Idaho Athletics Director Rob Spear did last November, while also putting the finishing touches on a solid schedule that has the Vandals on the Palouse for six weekends this fall.
On the good side of the ledger, Idaho is just three years removed from its last bowl game appearance. On the negative side, Idaho has won precious few games in the last three seasons, capped by a one-win effort in 2012.
Despite the challenges, the Vandals were able to bring in
Paul Petrino
to take the reins - a coaching veteran who has been an Offensive Coordinator in the Big Ten (Illinois), SEC (Arkansas), and Big East (Louisville). And he is no newcomer to Moscow, either, having coached at UI in the early '90s. He also has a penchant for knowing how to move the ball. As the OC at Illinois (2010-2011), the Fighting Illini broke school records for total points, points per game and Mikel Leshoure broke school records for single-season and single-game rushing yards in 2010. Wideout A.J. Jenkins led the Big Ten in receptions per game (7.0) and ranked second in receiving yards per game (99.67), while posting the second-most receiving yards in Illinois history with 1,196 yards in 2011.
In his first stint as OC at Arkansas (2008 - 2009), the Razorbacks ranked eighth in the NCAA in scoring (37 ppg) in 2009, 10th in passing, and 14th in total offense.
And at Louisville (2003-2006), where he was OC and wide receivers coach, the Cardinals averaged 41.1 points per game over four seasons, including leading the nation in total offense (539.0 ypg) and scoring offense (49.8 ppg) in 2004. During that same span he coached three wide receivers who set single-season yardage records.
At Idaho coach Petrino will get his first shot as a head coach, and he will be flanked by a new coaching staff that includes a mix of experience and youth (as well as two holdovers from the previous staff in Al Pupunu as tightends coach, and Patrick Libey who moves to defensive line coach).
Recently we talked with Idaho Athletics Director Rob Spear about his newest coaching hire and the expectations he has with coach Petrino.
PAT HAUGE: Can you talk a little bit about Coach
Paul Petrino
, the characteristics that were the most appealing to you, and how they fit into the program you're trying to build at
ROB SPEAR: "That's a good question. The number one thing that came across is his toughness as an individual, and his business-like approach to running a football program the way a football program should be run. His ability to teach and coach his coaches was very impressive."
PH: His ability to coach his coaches?
RS: "Yes."
PH: Can you describe that a little bit? What were you looking for there?
RS: "I think it's important that, for example, when you have your defensive line coach, that he needs to be teaching his kids through drills – and all other parts of the football training program – things that are consistent, and things that everybody knows. So, I wanted a coach that, one, could teach his coaches what he expected to be taught, and then hold them accountable by then having each position coach teach all of their materials to all the other coaches, so everybody is on the same page [players and coaches] and building continuity. They become a team.
"His ability to do that, and his examples, were tremendous.
"And I mentioned the discipline piece. Communicating clear expectations, accountability, the importance of identifying and addressing issues early, and emphasizing how this all starts with recruiting. Finally, his proven ability to recruit, and sell a program, and really build a program that we are going to be proud of.
"So all of those things together really made him our No. 1 candidate."
PH: How long have you known Coach Petrino? Is he someone you've kept in contact with over the years? Can you describe your relationship with him.
RS: "He's a lot younger than I am, but I've known the family for a long time. As a matter of fact I went to grade school with his older sister. Have I kept in contact with Paul? No. But I have known his family, and I've known his brother Bob for quite a while. Actually, when Bob and I had a conversation about prospective candidates for this job, he was one advocating for Paul."
PH: How do you know Bob?
RS: "Well, again, that family is from Butte [Montana] and I went to grade school with their older sister. The father was a long-time coach at the high school I went to, but he had moved on to coach at Carroll College and was a long-time coach there. I've just followed those kids throughout their athletic careers."
PH: What ultimately drove your decision to hire Paul over the other candidates you interviewed? You described the characteristics that you liked, but was there one thing in particular that caused him to outshine the other candidates?
RS: "It's all the things that I mentioned earlier. But I guess when you have the ability at Idaho to get somebody who has been an offensive coordinator at
, and
, and
, and
Southern Miss
, where he's been competing at the highest levels in college football, that's pretty impressive. His connections from those experiences are invaluable when it comes to recruiting. You will see the benefits [next week] when we announce our signing class.
"The other thing is, although he's been at those places and had that success – and he'll even tell you this – he's not an ego guy. I like to use the term 'business-like.' He's all about business and doing the job the right way.
"When you have an opportunity to hear him speak on how he will run his program, teach his players, and represent the UI, you will understand why he was our clear choice."
PH: Idaho is going into uncharted waters with independence and the need to expand your program and promote the Idaho Vandal brand. Are you expecting Coach Petrino to do some things differently as a representative of your program compared to previous UI coaches on your watch?
RS: "He's doing several things, like ensuring his coaches are always dressed professionally, and always promoting the Vandal brand, and teaching everyone that they need to be "proud to be a Vandal!" So he's going to be willing to go and represent the program whenever asked. I do know that.
"My expectation is that he is going to build a disciplined program that is going to be competitive. That's the number one thing. If he does that, the rest of the things take care of themselves.
"You can go out and talk all you want, but if you can't perform, and coach your coaches, and recruit right, and put a competitive football program on the field, those other things don't matter."
PH: Are you expecting him to interact with your fans, with the media, with the public differently than coaches in the past, or are you mostly basing your decision on the kind of program you expect him to run?
RS: "It's mostly based on the kind of program that I expect him to run. Like I said before, if we perform well on the football field, all those other things will take care of themselves. He will not make excuses and will walk the talk."
PH: Have you seen any bump in football season ticket sales for 2013 with the hiring of Coach Petrino?
RS: "We have been aggressive and gotten our season ticket renewals out, and I know that our ticket office has talked about some people who had dropped season tickets that have now renewed again.
"There is a lot of optimism, but we need everyone to commit to coming to watch our home games and purchase season tickets."

The Bible Can't Solve America's Teen Pregnancy Problem
Along with America's recent debate about the necessity of birth control access, many states have quietly returned to abstinence-only education policies in schools. In Wisconsin, for instance, Gov. Scott Walker signed into a law a bill requiring sex ed. teachers to stress abstinence as "the only reliable way to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases" while reversing a state law requiring them to instruct on protected sex. In Tennessee, an update recently passed to current abstinence-only standards requires children to be taught that hand-holding and kissing are "gateways" to sex. Overall, 26 states require that abstinence be "stressed" in its schools' sex-ed programs while no states have a similar law for stressing the use of contraception. The results show that, not only do states with abstinence-only programs have higher rates of teen pregnancy, but that the U.S. overall continues to have strikingly higher rates of teen pregnancy than other developed nations.

Writing Resources
Writing is a daily practice for millions of Americans. But few notice how integral writing has become to daily life in the 21st century.
To draw attention to the remarkable variety of writing we engage in and help make writers from all walks of life aware of their craft, NCTE is working to establish October 20, 2009, as the National Day on Writing.
To celebrate composition in all its forms, we are inviting diverse participants --students, teachers, parents, grandparents, service and industrial workers, managers, business owners, legislators, retirees, and many more -- to submit a piece of writing to the National Gallery of Writing.
The National Gallery will be a digital archive of samples that exhibit how and why Americans are writing every day, accessible to all through a free, searchable website. Writers' pieces will be accompanied by
We will build the archive of writing submissions in the Gallery throughout 2009, before sharing it with the nation on the National Day on Writing.
At the Center of This Initiative Are NCTE MembersBy sharing our knowledge about writing, and organizing participating groups in our schools and/or communities, we can transform the public's understanding of writing and the role it plays in society today.
There are two major ways you can take part in this initiative:
1. Submit a "resource piece" that can help non-educators write or understand writing; these could include
2. Organize a group of students or community members to create their own "hall" or exhibition in the National Gallery.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. -- It is a field of dreams for Kelly Carrigan and her family as the owners of Carrigan Farms in Mooresville since 1902.
With 12 acres and thousands of soon-to-be jack-o-lanterns, their business is doing just fine.
But elsewhere in the country, there is trouble at the pumpkin patch. Most of the world's pumpkin crops are grown in the Midwest where farmers have struggled with drought conditions.
This year the drought has made it tough, meaning some Tarheel state pumpkins may end up on porches in other states.
"Our crop looks wonderful this year. The pumpkins are irrigated. We haven't had too much rain and we've made it rain just enough," Carrigan said.
Just in time for Halloween.

Florida Man Fleeing From Cops Attacked By Alligator
By editor
Originally published on Fri May 10, 2013 6:10 am
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
Police in Pinellas County, Florida pulled over Bryan Zuniga at a traffic stop. The man ran away but his already bad day got worse, because as he fled he was attacked by an alligator. Police later arrested him at the hospital where he was being treated for his wounds. You may have seen those TV commercials, on for years, where a dog urges you to take a bite out of crime. This is not precisely what the crime dog meant, but close enough.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My Wedding Invitations were absolutely PERFECT. They truly reflected the theme and thoughts we wanted for our guests to begin to visualize of beginning of our dream coming true."
"I loved these as our wedding invitations, we based our entire wedding colours around them. They fit our day perfectly and turned out even more beautiful than i had expected"
"this invitation exceeded my expectations. I had ordered a sample card before I purchased it and the final product came out beautiful! I used the Chambord color to match the theme of my wedding and it was pretty. It was not as purple as I was expecting but it was still gorgeous. I also used the Pearl Shimmer paper which gave it an extra level of class. Everyone who has received the invitation comments on how beautiful it is; I am really impressed with this product. Shout out to Alain who helped make the final product more cohesive."
"These wedding invitations were such good quality. They were perfect to match my perfect fall wedding. They were definitely worth the price. I love how this website saves your projects because I needed more and was able to just go in and place the same order over again with ease. I recommend Wedding paper divas to all. Very good high quality products."
"You were able to take the text we wanted on our products, input it into the various items, edit, and explain your edits (punctuation) to us. We like the calm, nature-al colors of the Rustic (green & cranberry); the paper had body without feeling like pretty cardboard. Printing was delicate yet easy to read. We won't be sending them out till early January. Ordered at this time to beat the holiday rush! Marge"

I submit that the profit motivation of medical treatment is one such cause. Time was when doctors visited their patients at home using a mixture of folk remedies, patent medicines and their own concoctions to relieve the apparent symptoms. The doctor often had a bag of pharmaceuticals that he often prescribed and he would leave a week's dosage behind with hand-scribbled instructions for the local druggist. Medicine was a skilled profession and paid a modestly high wage as reward for long and costly training.
The second major assault on the sick and elderly was the point where the druggists, highly trained apothecaries whose main job was the compounding of chemicals and natural elements into custom treatments for individual sufferer. Urban life and the diseases of crowded living meant that sales of medicines skyrocketed the profits of corporate drug manufacturers and their high-commission sale forces, who worked the doctors offices with kickbacks and outright bribes for most of the last century with the blessing of the medical associations, both national and state. The drug peddlers discovered that even the tiniest change in the formulation of a product allowed the company to get a new patent. Thus, the multitude of brand name cures offered over the counter and by script.
Meanwhile, prescription medication is now the leading choice of recreational drugs by "abusers" as young as third grade, where ADD kids have established a black market trade in "happy pills" Tops of the pops is Ritalin, prescribed by so many teachers of "problem students" whose only desire is to turn them into quiet zombies staring into space for most of the period. These prescriptions are issued by the teachers and schools without parental or medical oversight.
The cure is obvious, but none of our political leaders will even discuss it.
Using Obama's health care system as a base from which operate, the government must take control of the drug industry, its economics, research and distribution. Harsh enforcement of standards and malpractice awards might move reform forward.
The doctors monopoly needs to be broken up, with med schools concentrating on producing as many doctors as possible, trained under policy devoid of overworked internships and other exclusionary practices that guarantee that only the obsessive and greedy will survive to get their diplomas. A review of drug prescriptions by individual MDs could clarify where the flood of street abuse originates.
The bottom line is making health care a human right, to be delivered by a government that cares more for people than profits.
EDITOR'S NOTE: After writing this column and emailing it on Thursday, Travus T. Hipp, a longtime radio commentator and contributor to the Sparks Tribune, died at his home in Silver City. His long-running tagline described him as "The Poor Hippy's Paul Harvey," and though he was a member of the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame he was described as unemployable in the Silver State due to his eclectic political views. Those views made him a truly unique part of the Sparks Tribune for many years.
