With today's gain, the Nasdaq has extended its winning streak to eight straight session and yet again closed at its best level since July 2000.

S&P 500 up 0.1%
Dow down less than 0.2%
Nasdaq up 0.7%
3:57 pm | Schaeffer's take | by Victor Reklaitis
The folks at Schaeffer's Investment Research see stocks moving higher, they write in their weekly investment commentary.
Here's an excerpt from their note that came out over the weekend:
"Stocks should continue to move higher over the intermediate and longer term, although short-term speed bumps related to year-to-date breakeven points on some indexes are just overhead."
3:45 pm | Main indexes | by Anora Mahmudova
About 15 minutes before the markets close, indexes are roughly at the same levels they have been earlier this morning, having moved sideways much of the session.

Nasdaq +0.7%

The pharmaceuticals ETFs from iShares, PowerShares and State Street are jumping on Tuesday in the wake of that big Actavis-Forest Labs deal, writes Vic Reklaitis.
To find out which one is the best for betting on drug makers, read the Tell post.
2:42 pm | Candy Crush maker plans for IPO | by Anora Mahmudova
King Digital, the maker of Candy Crush Saga, plans to file for IPO.
The Dublin-based company hopes to raise as much as $500 million when it goes public this year, but did not provide a date or a price range for its IPO.
If you are on Facebook, you have heard about the game and probably have been invited to buy the stock once it goes public.
For more on that, read our Tell post.
2:30 pm | MarketWatch Radio newscast | by Anora Mahmudova
Philip Silverman, managing partner at Kingsview Capital, says traders have one thing on their mind, "getting this market up." But he says a down day would be healthy.
2:17 pm | Technical levels | by Anora Mahmudova
The U.S. markets' technical backdrop supports a bullish view, writes Michael Ashbaugh.
He talks of resistance, support levels and trends. For more, read the column here.
2:09 pm | Small stocks gain | by Anora Mahmudova
Investors in small-cap stocks have a bit more more conviction it appears. The Russell 2000 index is up 0.8%, while the S&P 500 is up 0.1%. The Dow is about flat.
1:56 pm | Coca-Cola weighed down by flat earnings | by Sue Chang
Coca-Cola Co. shares are off almost 4% in the wake of lukewarm earnings.
The flat results underscore why the beverage giant needed Green Mountain Coffee Roasters which specializes in coffee rather than soft drinks, writes MarketWatch's Jim Jelter.
1:36 pm | BlackBerry bounces back | by Sue Chang
BlackBerry Ltd. /quotes/zigman/19622165/delayed /quotes/nls/bbry BBRY recovered from four days of losses after the stock was upgraded to market perform from underperform at FBR & Co.
"We expect that while it is too early to model the new business with any degree of certainty, we expect the company's liquid assets and early positive momentum could limit downside in shares in the near term," analyst Scott Thompson said in a note.
BlackBerry shares were last up 6.2% to $9.54.
12:39 pm | Prana Biotechnology soars | by Anora Mahmudova
Prana Biotechnology Ltd shares soared more than 35%, making it the best performing stock on the Nasdaq Composite today.
Shares jumped after the company said its experimental treatment for Huntington disease met its primary goals of safety as well as showing significant improvement in cognitive function in a Phase II study.
Prana shares had a volatile 2 months, soaring and plunging and soaring back again. This is not a stock for the faint-hearted.
12:29 pm | Cold and sleepy markets | by Anora Mahmudova
Markets have been trading sideways in the past few hours. It appears weak manufacturing and housing reports had no meanignful impact.
Cold weather was blamed for low readings on both. The Empire State manufacturing activity dropped by more than expected. Homebuilders confidence index also plunged.
S&P 500 up 3 points
Dow down 7 points
Nasdaq up 29 points
12:13 pm | 'Tesla is not Amazon' | by Anora Mahmudova
Tesla is getting a lot of attention today, after the share price jumped 3% and reached an all-time high.
Marek Fuchs in his Outside the Box column warns people not to get too excited about it and argues why comparing Tesla to Amazon.com is wrong: electric car maker and e-commerce giant couldn't be more different.
Before it gains even more traction this week, let's kill a conventional thought in its crib: Tesla Motors Inc is simply not the next Amazon.com Inc.
11:59 am | Icahn's Forest | by Anora Mahmudova
Forest Labs soared nearly 30% on news that it will soon be bought by Actavis.
It is great news if you were holding shares before today. It is even better news if you are Carl Icahn and owned 30 million shares according to the latest F-13 filing.
For more on how Icahn claims his activism helped the share prices, read our Tell post.
11:41 am | "Beware of sideways markets" | by Anora Mahmudova
Vitaliy N. Katsenelson, CFA, is CIO at Investment Management Associates in Denver, Colorado, in a note wrote that we are entering a "sideways markets" and how we need it to get valuations below historical averages.
Sideways markets are there to destroy hope. It is when nobody wants to own stocks ever again, when valuations are below their historical average, that a secular sideways market finally dies (actually, more like goes into hibernation), and the next secular bull market is born.
To believe we are in the midst of a secular bull market, you have to be very comfortable with three things, starting with profit margins. Today corporate profit margins are hitting all-time highs. Historically, profit margins have been mean-reverting.
Second, even if you are comfortable with high profit margins, you have to make an assumption that economic (revenue) growth will be robust going forward.
And finally, you have to believe that price-earnings ratios can expand from their current level. I have news for you: In the past, sideways markets started (bull markets ended) when valuations were at current levels.
11:24 am | Main indexes | by Anora Mahmudova
The Dow industrials average has been flirting with being in positive territory, but the range remain very narrow.
The S&P 500 is less than 10 points away from its all-time high it reached on January 15.
But both the blue-chip and benchmark indexes are still down for the year.
The Nasdaq Composite is powering on, however, having clocked in a 2.3% gain since the start of the year. The tech-heavy index is up 0.7% today.
11:11 am | Tesla chart | by Victor Reklaitis
That's quite a move by Tesla's stock over the past 12 months.
It's gone from below $40 a share to above $200 -- more than quintupling.
Hope you bought early and held on.
10:59 am | More on Tesla | by Victor Reklaitis
The main indexes aren't making big moves, but Tesla has hit a new all-time high.
An increased price target from R.W. Baird is helping the stock, reports MarketWatch's Jim Jelter.
The adjacent photo shows Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who was MarketWatch's CEO of the year last year.
10:56 am | Going sideways? | by Victor Reklaitis
Here's more from MKM's Krinsky.
He says he has to go back to October to find a similar jump from oversold to overbought for the S&P 500.
And looking at the action then, he thinks it's likely the benchmark index now will trend sideways.
Krinsky writes:
10:52 am | Technician sees consolidation | by Victor Reklaitis
Traders should expect U.S. stocks to catch their breath after last week's advance.
That's a takeaway from a note this morning by Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at MKM Partners.
The title of the note starts as follows: "SPX Short-Term Overbought - Expect Some Consolidation"
10:44 am | Europe mostly lower | by Victor Reklaitis
European stock markets are poised to close mostly lower on Tuesday after the German ZEW survey indicated investors are less optimistic about the economic future in the euro zone's largest economy than they were a month ago.
Read more in our Europe Markets column by Sara Sjolin.
10:28 am | S&P 500 positive again | by Victor Reklaitis
What a choppy day.
The S&P 500 is now positive again — up about +1 point.
The benchmark index has been alternating between small gains and losses.
Dow – 6 points… or less than 0.1%
Nasdaq +19 points or +0.4%
10:23 am | BoJ surprises | by Victor Reklaitis
In case you missed it, the Bank of Japan has been making waves.
Japan's Nikkei closed up sharply — by 3.1% — after the Bank of Japan surprised markets with additional stimulus measures.
The BoJ increased incentives for bank lending, as MarketWatch's Michael Kitchen noted.
10:17 am | Actavis-Forest deal | by Victor Reklaitis
The stock market often cheers big M&A news, and there have been a couple big deals announced lately.
The Wall Street Journal story on the Actavis-Forest Labs deal says:
"The deal would come as a welcome relief for a merger and acquisition market that has been in the doldrums as a result of tepid economic growth and CEO and boardroom sentiment that still hasn't completely recovered from the financial crisis."
The big deal comes on the heels of the Comcast-Time Warner Cable news, and so it "could be a sign that there is hope the deals market will turn in a respectable performance on 2014," the WSJ adds.
Read an excerpt from the story here.
10:11 am | Reaction to housing data | by Victor Reklaitis
The tough winter is getting blamed again for a disappointing result.
Ian Lyngen, senior rates strategist at CRT Capital Group, offers a comment about the lower-than-expected reading for the NAHB housing-market index.
He writes: "Overall, a disappointing release, but one that's easy to dismiss as a transitory impact of the winter-storms."
The adjacent picture shows snow falling on Wall Street -- fitting, we think.
10:02 am | Housing report misses | by Victor Reklaitis
That NAHB housing-market index dropped to 46 this month, missing expectations.
The Dow and S&P 500 are staying in negative territory after the report.
A gauge of confidence among home builders plunged in February, dropping to the lowest level in nine months, led by weaker views on present sales of single-family homes, reports MarketWatch's Ruth Mantell.
10:00 am | Choppy ahead of NAHB index | by Victor Reklaitis
The Dow has fallen back in negative territory, and the S&P 500 has also dropped into the red in the last few minutes.
The Nasdaq is staying positive.
Stocks are choppy, struggling for direction.
The housing market index from the National Association of Home Builders is about to hit, so we'll see if that economic data point provides more direction.
9:53 am | An iCar? | by Victor Reklaitis
Tesla is among today's notable movers, last up nearly 3%.
There was a report from the San Francisco Chronicle over the weekend that Apple's M&A chief met with Tesla's CEO last year.
The story suggested That Apple might have wanted to buy the electric-car company or at least look at partnerships. Apple also might be interested in medical devices, according to that story.
9:48 am | Dow positive | by Victor Reklaitis
In the last few minutes, the Dow has been working on joining the S&P 500 and Nasdaq in positive territory.
The blue-chip index isn't up by that much, however... last at +8 points
9:46 am | Empire State miss | by Victor Reklaitis
On the economic front, the latest reading for the Empire State index missed expectations.
Manufacturing activity in the New York region gave up most of the strong gains made during the prior month although it remained in positive territory, reports MarketWatch's Greg Robb.
9:43 am | Coke weighs on Dow | by Victor Reklaitis
Coca-Cola was last down 3.5% for the worst performance among Dow components.
Before the opening bell, the drinks giant said it's looking for ways to "restore momentum" as it posted lower fourth-quarter results that concluded a challenging year.
Q4 revenue missed expectations. Read more here.
9:41 am | Dow falls, S&P 500 rises | by Victor Reklaitis
Good morning.
The Dow is slightly lower in the early going today, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have been slightly higher.
Dow -12 points
S&P 500 +1 point
Nasdaq +13 points

Ok. I am an a "Outspoken Atheist" I get myself involved with quite a few arguments with theists, not because I try to impose my belief, but because they try to impose their belief on me, and my nature demands that I
counteract the brainwashing nature of Christianity and other religions with
reason and understanding.
So. I have tried many, many things in debates and arguments with many Christians. I have tried learning a lot about their religions, and know more than most of them anyway….but they still NEVER seem to ATTEMPT to
give atheism or even agnosticism "A fair go". They will always call me godless
or condemned to hell the next day…
Anyway, what I want to figure out is; is there any way an atheist/agnostic can persuade a strong religious believer into forgetting everything they think they know about the world, for even an hour, in an
attempt to present and explain to them the scientific nature of Atheism? Not
trying to "Convert" people here, I only wish to see people consider the other
options instead of forever locking themselves in a religious bubble.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Republicans in search of their party's presidential nomination are returning to campaign mode after a brief Christmas respite, with Rick Santorum planning a hunting trip with conservatives in Iowa and Mitt Romney phoning supporters.
With just a week until Iowa holds its leadoff caucuses and many caucus-goers undecided, the final push ahead of the Jan. 3 contests was heading into a critical time. Campaigns planned new television ads and phone calls to persuade holdouts still weighing their options.
Romney, who kept this state at arm's length for most of the year, seemed to increase his efforts in Iowa as polls found him in a stronger position. He planned to talk with supporters in a series of telephone calls here and to New Hampshire and Florida on Monday between working on a speech that aides described as his final pitch to Iowans. Romney planned to deliver that speech Tuesday evening and then set out on a bus tour of Iowa.
However, he was to share the highways with Rep. Michele Bachmann, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. All scheduled bus tours to start then, too.
Each is running out of time and looking to derail Rep. Ron Paul, the Texas congressman who seems to have the most sophisticated network of volunteers ready to organize for the caucuses. Paul was to return to Iowa this week to meet with supporters he has kept in touch with since his unsuccessful run in 2008.
Others, too, were ready to turn on their own political machines and put fresh ads on the air.
Gingrich, who last week criticized the negative tone of the campaign, was preparing to directly challenge Romney on the economy, an issue Romney has made central to his campaign. Gingrich's standing in public and private polls has slipped as he faced unrelenting criticism from the candidates and their allies.
Gingrich was expected to use clips from Romney's previous campaigns distancing himself from President Ronald Reagan and pitch his own economic plan as "Reaganomics 2.0." Gingrich also was expected to compare Romney's tax plan with his own.
Romney released a new TV ad in Iowa on Monday that touts him as a conservative businessman and in which he says "it is a moral imperative for America to stop spending more money than we take in."
"It's killing jobs and it's keeping our kids from having the bright prospects they deserve," he says in the spot. "The experience of balancing budgets is desperately needed in Washington and I will take it there."
Santorum, meanwhile, planned to announce support from another wave of Iowa conservatives. He scheduled a pheasant hunting trip in Adel for Monday afternoon. While he trails in polls and has not spent significant money on ads, Santorum is hoping his nonstop courtship of Iowans yields a late surge. He visited all 99 of Iowa's counties during the summer - an accomplishment Bachmann has feverishly tried to replicate.
Bachmann, a congresswoman from Minnesota, last week darted through small towns, reminding voters that Santorum lost his 2006 re-election bid in a blowout and that Paul's foreign policy views were outside the party's orthodoxy.
Looking to recapture voters' interest, her plan was to return to hand-to-hand campaigning Tuesday and paint herself as the only acceptable conservative in the race.
"You can always count on me to stay true to my word and put America and Americans first," she said in a fundraising email sent Monday. "I am the consistent conservative who will put our nation back on a path towards prosperity and restore our values to government."
Perry, too, was looking to keep up the message that his rivals are insiders unable to change Washington. He planned to resume his tour bus on Tuesday.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman kept his focus on New Hampshire. Huntsman said early in the campaign that he would not compete in Iowa and instead make his start in New Hampshire, which comes second on the nominating calendar with a Jan. 10 primary.

1. For any new readers, could you tell us about the Babes on Brooms series?
VLT: Two sisters, both witches, get themselves into magical trouble. In BLONDE WITH A WAND, Anica gets upset with her boyfriend and in her anger turns him into a cat. Bad for him, worse for her, because the magical infraction of transforming a human causes her to lose her magic. So how will she change him back? In CHICK WITH A CHARM, Anica's sister Lily, who has learned nothing from her sister's story, slips a devotion potion into the drink of a guy she's interested in. The potion works, but then she discovers that she really cares about him and can't tell if his devotion is real or a result of her misplaced magic.
2. Anica and Lily sound like strong heroines. What comes first, the characters or the story?
VTL: Oh, tough question! Probably the characters, but I remember thinking how cool it would be if the heroine turned the hero into a cat, which is story, not character. They sort of came at the same time, I think.
3. Will there be more Babes on Brooms books? Are you working on any other projects you would like to share with us?
VLT: For now, I've put aside Babes on Brooms for an exciting (to me, at least, LOL) new project -- comic werewolves. The first one WEREWOLF IN MANHATTAN comes out in February, 2011, and I had a great time writing it. I'm now working on the second book in that series.
4. If you weren't a New York Times bestselling author, which career choice would you pursue?
VLT: I honestly can't imagine. I LOVE this job. I love being able to work at home, to play with imaginary friends, to network with readers and writers. The world of books is my world, so I suppose I'd have to be in that world somehow, maybe as an editor or a bookseller. Okay, running a cool bookstore would be fun. Other than that, I can imagine *possibly* operating a bed and breakfast. Nah. I can't cook worth beans so the breakfast would be inedible and I'd be a failure at that.
5. For you, what is the most difficult part of the writing process? How do you overcome this challenge?VLT: Writing a synopsis before writing the book, because I've finally acknowledged that I like to discover the book as I go along. I don't know the characters until I've written about them for awhile, maybe a hundred pages or so. I have to write a synopsis for my editor, so I do the best I can with it and admit to myself and to her that this is a guess as to how the book will go. I'm never sure until I type the last page how it will turn out -- other than happily ever after, of course. :-)
6. A man in a long trench coat approaches you on the street. He whips open his jacket and you see...VIALS. He is selling magic potions for health, love, beauty, wealth-anything you desire. Which potion would you purchase?
VLT: What a cool concept! I'm so glad he's not a flasher, LOL. I would choose tolerance. I like to think I'm a tolerant person, but then I'll catch myself being extremely intolerant of a person or situation, and I realize I have much to learn about this trait. Ha! Bet you thought I'd choose love. But I have that, and I know where to get more. The tolerance thing, though, is more elusive.
7. Lastly, what is your favorite way to unwind after a hard day of writing? Any guilty pleasures?
VLT: If it's cold enough outside, which can be problematic in Arizona, I love building a fire and sharing a glass of wine with a friend. If it's too hot for the fire, then I have to make do with just sharing the wine with a friend.
Vicki, thank you for taking the time to interview with us. Congratulations on your amazing writing career. I know we will be looking for your Werewolf story next February!
For more information about Vicki and her books, visit her website or on goodreads.

We've all been there before. You get home from a long day, pour yourself a cold one, and it hits you: "I'll have to spend more time in the gym working the calories off than it took me to even have this drink." It's such a shame what was once a frosty mug of joy is now just a sour goblet of shame.
With Select 55, there is no need to feel guilty. When you grab a round of 55s after work with your friends, you'll know exactly how to burn it off. Did you know that you burn 55 calories taking a 54-minute nap? How about 33 minutes reading the PopSugar Network? (You're burning calories right now!)
So tell us, what is your favorite way to burn 55 calories?

Congratulation to Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam on winning a Golden Globe® for "Ordinary Love" - "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom"
The whole concept became a reality with the support of so many people. Harvey Weinstein was behind the idea from the start after meeting the back way back in 1981.
Bono said in an interview "Harvey is remarkable and has the same fire in his belly now that he did when we first met" In order to make this single possible U2 had to push back their album keeping millions of fans on hold as they accepted toe offer to compose and perform the song for the film.
Bono took inspiration from Nelson Mandela's letters to Winnie Mandela when he was in prison. Harvey had to wait a bit this was not a song that could come to fruition over night and required the band to put forth some thought and make it an unforgettable tribute to a wonderful man.
The song became number one in 15 countries around the world without any promotion.

It should really be possible to use Fremantle Media Player in the portrait mode, at least when playing audio. A typical usage pattern would be to keep Fremantle device in your pocket while listening to music, then quickly take it out with one hand to browse through the list of tracks. Portrait mode has following advantages here:
1. You can easily hold the device with one hand (like Nokia 5800 and similar devices)
2. The portrait-oriented track list can show more tracks
3. As the device is already sitting vertically in your pocket, to let the headphone wire out, you do not need to rotate it.

Each night in December (except Christmas Eve when we'll put up our real stockings) I will put in a note, activity, treat, etc. and each morning the kids will be able to take down a sock and see what fun we will be having that day.
Now that my oldest daughter is in school all day we have to do it a little different. We don't always have time to do a craft project between homework, piano practice, and whatever else may get in the way.
Some activities we may do include:
- Making paper snowflakes
- Making our own Christmas cards to send out
- Going to see the lights downtown
- A service project for someone less fortunate (Sub for Santa)
- Making Christmas cookies
- Caroling
- Painting pinecones
- Making ornaments
- Choose a new Christmas book
- A simple game to play
- Build with marshmallows
- A simple treat
- Watch a Christmas movie
- Have a slumber party with the family
- Leave a note to "Get out of Chores Free"
These are just a few of the things we will do (I am not much of a long term planner and like to see how things play out before I set it in stone). We may also be following along a bit with the Creative Christmas Countdown {more about that tomorrow}.
Another idea to do with the stockings is to put a puzzle piece in each sock and gradually build it over the course of those few weeks. Or if your kids are into collecting sports or other cards, you could put one of those in each sock.
I have found that this is a great way to have a little Christmas fun each day leading up to the big day. It makes that {long} wait more bearable for the kids.
This is one of our favorite ways to count down to Christmas, but I will share another tradition we have started on Thursday when the Creative Christmas Countdown begins, hosted by Creative with Kids.

This after-hours open house will feature bacon hor doeuvres from Stuart McLuckie of OMG Brunch and Boutique and beer pairings by The Beer Cellar.
Keynote speaker Randy Mosher, a Chicago-based author and partner at two area breweries, will take you on an introductory tour of tasting beer, point out some of the surprising ways you interact with foods and drinks, and expose the inner taster that lies far beneath your conscious control.

I may finally find my way to the Glen Ellyn library!!! Does the roof still leak?
Did the library have to apply for a special event liquor license?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I know this company is doing the same event at the beer cellar for $5 cheaper in March. Didn't know if the cellars license allowed this or not. Is the $5 for renting the library?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You know much more than I about these events. The only thing I know for certain is that I won't be at either.
Though I must admit that I am intrigued by which parts of the human brain are considered ancient.

Disclaimer: I dined courtesy of Treehouse Lounge.
The small space is separated into 3 semi distinct areas. Near the front bar are high tables for drinking your beers and cocktails, the main dining area comprising tables for groups of 2-4, and a partitioned back area for larger groups. The lighting is kept fairly low, one of my pet peeves about restaurants, but luckily I was near a light so it wasn't too bad for me.
The menu comprises lots of tapas and a range of pizzas. We decided to share numerous tapas with our cocktails. A Beef Carpaccio was really nice, with tender meat matched with capers and artichoke, giving it some zing. The Herb Crusted Lamb Cutlets are stunning and I asked for the recipe but was refused jokingly by Adrian. Seriously Adrian, I want that wonderful recipe of your mums. A Grilled Prawn Salad was good but no match for the lamb cutlets in my eyes. The Antipasto Platter was surprisingly good, with good quality cured meats. I guess you must know about cured meats if you're Italian. The Oysters Kilpatrick was a tad disappointing. While the flavours were great, the oysters didn't taste super fresh to me.
The Tapas Platter of items we selected were all really good, or great. Chorizo were simply fried and very nice. The Seared Scallops were excellent, plump, fresh and perfectly cooked. I liked the Grilled Prawns and Meatballs, both with nice flavours. The Salt and Pepper Calamari was really to my liking, having a nice thin crisp batter and good dipping sauce. Smoked Salmon was good, but it was the BBQ Ribs that stole the show. They were sticky, soft, sweet and salty. I couldn't stop licking my fingers. A must order.
We were extremely full so shared only one dessert. The Strawberry Mille Feuille was disappointing. While it looked great, the taste was only ok. The strawberries were really fresh and sweet, but the pastry let this simple dish down. Instead of beautiful crisp puff pastry, the layers were like papadums things. The lemon curd described in the menu turned out to be lemon syrup instead, which tasted ok with the strawberries but would have been so much better if it was lemon curd.
My service was excellent, but I was the invited guest. From what I could see, Adrian and John definitely worked the room really well and customers were all smiling and happy. The waiters did an efficient job. I liked the ambiance in the room and although the tables are quite close in the small space, the background music and noise from other diners meant there was still a level of privacy. I really liked the food and there were some excellent items. I would recommend trying out Treehouse Lounge and make sure to order yourself a cocktail off their extensive list as well.

Brownies are an impressively versatile treat; they take well to a variety of different fillings, but never lose their brownie identity. So why is it that the choices are always so...underwhelming at bakeries? Sure, you'll see the standards: fudge brownies, brownies with walnuts, and the occasional peanut butter, or perhaps mint "novelty" brownies, but nothing that really excites the palate. Luckily, we've got your back at Cakespy: recently we put brownies to the test by trying out a variety of very unexpected fillings, ranging from sweet to savory, from bitter to the completely shocking, to see what might work, what might not, and what might perhaps spawn a Brownie Great Awakening. Here are the details of our experiment:
Who tasted them?: Me and members of Seattle rock band Speaker Speaker.
What were the flavors?: We elected to make them in a variety of unexpected tastes and textures, and so finally settled on the following: bacon (in our case we used Morningstar farms veggie bacon), Monterey Jack Cheese, Saltines, salted peanuts, Jaffas, mint malt balls, Starburst, and Sour Patch Kids.
How did we make 'em? The recipe was a basic brownie recipe from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. They were made using a mini scone pan from Williams-Sonoma to yield little triangles; the dividers formed a nice barrier between the different types of brownies, thus making it possible to mix in the different fillings by brownie within the same batch. While we worried that perhaps the stronger flavors or smells might infuse the others another while baking, once we began tasting, this did not seem to be a problem.
And as for our expert thoughts?
First, the savories:
(Veggie) Bacon Brownies (above): There have been a lot of bacon-and-sweets recipes going around, and while curious, we suspected that perhaps the recent popularity was largely based on shock value rather than intense tastiness. And while there is no denying that bacon in pastries provides a certain "Omigod" factor, the flavor was surprisingly good; smoky, salty, sweet, and savory, all at the same time. As taster Danny said, "It's like brownie...and then a wave of bacon". Overall, a sweet and salty success!
Saltines (above): These ones elicited the largest amount of taste associations, reminding us alternately of chocolate covered pretzels, Nestle crunch bars, and various other chocolate-with-a-crunch sweets. Overall, these went over well, probably the most "normal" tasting of the unusual flavors.
Salted Peanuts (above): You'll see peanut butter brownies, or walnut brownies...but very rarely whole peanuts. The peanuts provided the familiar flavor of peanut butter, but with a satisfying crunch. The saltiness was rich and gave a very pleasing mouthfeel; a nice variation on an "expected" flavor.
And now, moving on to the sweet styles:
Jaffas (above): They're all the rage in New Zealand (a soft-chocolate covered orange lolly candy), but we'd never heard of them until we interviewed City Down, the Cupcake Queen of New Zealand. Now we're addicted, and they're a very pleasant addition to brownies, a slightly unexpected variation on the now-ubiquitous orange and chocolate pairing.
Starburst (above): We placed a Starburst candy jauntily on top of the batter on this one, and guess what: It burned a hole through the brownie! You'd think we might be warned by this unholy-seeming sign but no: we ate that sucker. Our reactions were mixed: some thought they tasted very wrong, but to others, they tasted so right. Go figure.
Mint Malt Balls (above): We tried this to put a new spin on the chocolate-mint thing; while they were pleasant, they weren't really that different than your basic mint brownie, the malt being broken up and covered with batter to the point of having lost its crunch.
Sour Patch Kids (above): What a surprise these were. None of us expected them to be delicious, but overall the sourness seemed to mix nicely with the brownies, perhaps lending a tartness that cut through the richness a little bit. A little went a long way with this flavor, but it was certainly a worthwhile experiment. Plus, baking them made the coating melt off, so that the candies resembled little jewels, making these the "prettiest" ones by far.
So, to sum it up? Brownies are delicious, no doubt about it. But as a treat with such an incredible range, why should we become content with so few choices? As we found in our tasting, some of the most unexpected flavors were very rewarding and surprisingly delicious. So don't be afraid to "mix it up" in your own kitchen; you might just stumble upon a happy accident!
Have you tried out something unexpected with your brownies that turned out well? Let us know!

Charles E Loops, DVM, Pittsboro, USA said: "The first
thing that must change with routine vaccinations is the myth that vaccines are not harmful.
Veterinarians and animal guardians have to come to realise that they are not protecting animals
from disease by annual vaccinations, but in fact, are destroying the health and immune
systems of these same animals they love and care for".
Russell Swift, DVM, Fort Lauderdale, USA, said: "I believe that poor diet and vaccinations are responsible for most chronic diseases. Acute 'diseases' are discharges of toxins and energy from the body. The 'causative' germs assist by breaking down toxins and stumulating cleansing. By preventing these discharges, vaccines result in chronic disorders. Injected vaccines preservatives. They implant mutated microorganisms, preservatives, foreign animal proteins and other compounds directly into the system. This is done in the name of 'preventing' a few syndromes. If an animal is in an optimal state of health, he or she will produce the strongest immune response possible. This response offers protection against all NATURAL challenges. The irony is that vaccine labels say they are to be given only to healthy animals. If they were truly healthy, they would not need them. Those who are not healthy are the most severely damaged".
Pedro Rivera, DVM, Sturtevant, USA, said: "Vaccinosis is the reaction from common innoculations (vaccines) against the body's immune system and general well-being. These reactions might take months or years to show up and will cause undue harm to future generations. In our practice, we have seen hypothyroidism, chronic yeast, ear infections, immune-mediated diseases and worsening of them, joint maladies, and behavioural prolems as secondary reactions to over-vaccination."
Pat Bradley, DVM, Conway, USA, said: "The most common problems I see that are directly related to vaccines on a day to day basis are ear or skin conditions, such as chronic discharges and itching. I also see behaviour problems such as fearfulness or aggression. Often guardians will report that these begin shortly after vaccination, and are exacerbated with every vaccine.
"In a more general and frightening context, I see the overall health and longevity of animals deteriorating. The bodies of most animals have a tremendous capacity to detoxify poisons, but they do have a limit. I think we often exceed that limit and over-whelm the body's immune system function with toxins from vaccines, poor quality foods, insecticides, environmental toxins, etc. This is why we've seen such a dramatic increase in allergies, organ failures, and behaviour problems."
Christina Chambreau, DVM, Madison,USA, said: "Routine vaccinations are probably the worst thing that we do for our animals. They cause all types of illnesses but not directly to where we would relate them definitely to be caused by the vaccine. Repeating vaccinations on a yearly basis undermines the whole energetic well-being of our animals. Animals do not seem to be decimated by one or two vaccines when they are young and veterinary immunologists tell us that viral vaccines need only be given once or twice in an animal's life. First, there is no need for annual vaccinations and, second, they definitely cause chronic disease. As a homoeopath, it is almost impossible to cure an animal without first addressing the problems that vaccines have caused to the animal, no matter what the species."

Thais arrest alleged arms dealer wanted in India
BANGKOK (AP) — Police in Thailand have arrested a Thai man wanted in India for alleged involvement in international arms deals with an Indian insurgent group worth nearly $2 million, authorities said Saturday.
Wuthikorn Naruenartwanich, also known as Willy, was arrested Friday at his home in Bangkok, said Police Col. Charoen Sisasalak. Willy, 57, is accused of buying weapons, including nearly 1,000 rifles and an unspecified number of rocket-propelled grenades, to be sold to Naga rebels in northeastern India, Charoen said.
During initial questioning, Willy told police that he was a restaurant owner in Bangkok and denied any involvement in arms deals, Charoen said.
Prosecutors next week will try to convince a judge to send Willy to India, where he's being tried in absentia.
India's National Investigation Agency charged Willy and three others in 2011 with criminal conspiracy to wage a war against the Indian government. If convicted, he could face the death penalty or life imprisonment.
The Nagas are a conglomeration of several tribes inhabiting parts of northeast India and northwest Myanmar. The Naga rebels have been operating one of India's longest-running insurgencies, fighting for more than 50 years, though a cease-fire with the government has held since it was signed in 1997.

Would it be a good idea to revamp the First Class scene in the top 8 nations so domestic teams play series instead of the usual championship? My thinking behind the idea is it would simulate test cricket more and also provide chances for teams to really grind into each other and figure each other out so we don't get players getting away with technical issues and the like due to playing each side twice per season. Instead during the series sides can develop plans to a particular bowler/batsman and as a result both sides would start learning alot more about their game. Of course the sides could not face every other side in one season due to time and weather constraints but over the course of two to three years play home and away series against each side (E.g. Central Districts host Canterbury for three matches: Venues: Napier, New Plymouth and Palmerston North. Next time they have a series vs Canterbury they play in Canterbury).
Of course in County Cricket this wouldn't work at all due to there being too many teams but in domestic comps with 4-6 teams it could work. Also whats the rule on playing four day cricket? Why not have five days in First Class games? It seems that many sides around the world can play for four days but then falter on day five. Surely it would be better for players to get into five day cricket earlier?
Anyway I just thought that perhaps this First Class layout might help prepare players for the step up better and get them into the groove of winning series, not silly championships where some of the teams might as well give up after a while into the season as they're no where and only have pride to play for wheras with this format each new series is a chance to shine.

Tool is inspired by a reflex camera lens, whose shape it echoes, exalting the emotional charge of the phrase in the right light everything is amazing zoom 55-78".
The Tool collection emanates technological appeal in its raw form, in both its shapes and materials.
The lamp has been designed with a single rubber body giving it the appearance of an object fresh off the assembly line and destined for a home environment, breaking with design and aesthetic conventions.
The hanging lamp has two versions, large and small. The smaller lamp is available in reading and table versions with a rough concrete base and supported by a painted black metallic stem. All models have a focused and direct light, like a true lighting "tool", just as the name suggests.

Tongue Cancer
(Cancer, Tongue)
by Michelle Badash, MS
Tongue cancer is a subgroup of head and neck cancer. Cancer develops from the squamous cells of the tongue, forming a localized tumor. Cancer cells have the potential to grow and spread.
Tongue cancer is often grouped with other mouth cancers, such as cancer of the lips, hard palate, cheek lining, the portion of the mouth underneath the front of the tongue, or gums. These cancers are collectively known as oral cancer.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. Eventually these uncontrolled cells form a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant growths. These growths can invade nearby tissues including the lymph nodes. Cancer that has invaded the lymph nodes can then spread to other parts of the body.
It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but is probably a combination of genetics and environment. Changes may occur as a result of:
Risk Factors
Tongue cancer is more common in men, and in people aged 40 years and older. Other factors that may increase your chances of tongue cancer:
Tongue cancer may cause:
Tongue cancer may be detected by your dentist during a routine dental cleaning, or by your doctor during a routine physical exam.
To confirm diagnosis, your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. This may include examining your tongue for lumps or masses. A fiberoptic scope may be used.
The physical exam, combined with all of your test results, will help to determine the type and stage of cancer you have. Staging is used to guide your treatment plan. Like other cancers, tongue cancer is staged from I-IV. Stage I is a very localized cancer, while stage IV indicates a spread to other parts of the body
Tongue cancer treatment depends on the stage of the cancer, and the size and location of the tumor.
This is surgical removal of the cancerous tumor and nearby tissue, and possibly nearby lymph nodes. This is often the preferred treatment when the tumor is on the visible side of the tongue, when it is less than 2 centimeters, and when it is on one side and does not involve the base of the tongue.
Radiation Therapy
This is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation therapy is used when the cancer is at the back of the tongue.
Chemotherapy is sometimes used with radiation to destroy the cancerous growth, especially if surgery is not planned.
Rehabilitation and Follow-Up
After treatment, your doctor may recommend:

Benjamin and friends took part at the Singapore Mini Maker Faire last year at SCAPE, where they showcased the origami works they have done, and introduced the art of paper folding to visitors of the Faire.
He shared that he started folding origami some 20 years back when he came across a Chinese book on origami. His interest developed after having folded the models from this book, and he bought a second book "Teach Yourself Origami" by Robert Harbin, which showed him that there is a lot more to origami than the traditional models. His interest has sustained until today.
Benjamin has his own origami website here. He and his friends are also members of the group "Origami Singapore", an informal gathering of origami enthusiasts in Singapore.
Takeaway from SMMF13 and advice for first time participating maker
When asked about his takeaway from his involvement in the Singapore Mini Maker Faire last year, Benjamin shared that it is a good platform for makers to meet each other. During the event, he learnt that there are many people making different kind of things. He also observed that there were many children participants and he hope to see more adults showing interest as well.
As a word of advice, he would like to remind all first time participating makers to make good use of their set-up time, and also to take the time to walk around no matter how busy you are at your booth. He felt that it would be important to also learn from other makers and make friends with them.
Good maker spirit, Benjamin! We hope you get to know more makers this time round! Who knows what kind of exciting new projects you might end up doing together?

A Fan's Farewell to Jon Stewart
There will be others after Stewart, just like there have been others during Stewart. But it's not enough to be an activist, or to be annoying, or to be loud, or to just only occasionally hit the nail on the head, or whatever. Stewart was often left of someone on the right, often right of someone on the left.
