Inspired by the pure, early days of his childhood helping his father with his ice cream shoppe, John brings you his modernized idea of a saddle shoe. Designed upon the popular Fellowship sole and leather wrapped heel of soft comfortable rubber, this design is sure to be an instant favourite. After all these years, now is the time to bring out those poodle skirts, bobby sox, and Jerry Lee Lewis records. Old friends are good friends.
Half sizes available.

other colors please
Jennifer Jackson - Oakland
please please bring this back in black and white and maybe some other colors but not just patterns or flowers!
only one colour?!??!
lynne wright - montreal
I want to replace my all-black Erikas, which i have worn and loved for eons, because they are so comfortable, durable, and go with everything -- but now they only come in flowery red? WHYYY?!??!?!?
Please bring them back in black and white!
Margaret MacQuarrie
I bought these in a 6.5 many years ago. They were the most comfortable shoes ever! Now that I'm older, my feet have grown and they no longer fit. These are my unicorns and I would love to have them back on my feet again.
I loe my Erikas!
Lorelei - Atlanta, GA
I bought the purple Erikas in Toronto this summer, and they've become my go-to, everyday Vogs. Very comfy, perfect for city walking. As with most Vogs, I go up a full size from my street size (I have long toes and a baby bunion). Big thanks to the Queen St West crew!
Amazing, adorable and perfect fit!
Ashley - Portland
These shoes fit me very true to size. I'm a true size 5 and my feet are pretty narrow but these fit like a dream. They're super comfortable, too. Thank you sooo much, Fluevog for making shoes for my tiny baby feet! I love you so much for it!
Fit very small!
Lisa - Toronto
I wear a size 11/42, and have some 11 fluebogs and other 11.5s. I tried on the size 11 in the Distillery District store and they were too small; Ottawa had a pair of 11.5 shoes in blue/purple and I was heading there for the weekend so I ordered them to pick up in person. When I tried on the 11.5s in Ottawa, they felt smaller than the 11s! Fortunately Ottawa had a pair of size 12s in blue/purple. Even going up a full size they're snug enough that I have to wear nylon socks. Hoping they will stretch out a bit. Maybe it's something about this colourway? The shoe style is not particularly pointy or narrow, which is generally the reason I have to go up a half size.
Serena - Davis, Ca
I just got these in the mail today. I was so excited. They are exactly as adorable as they look. I went up a half size on my order (10 over and 9.5) based on reviews, but they feel tiny, my toes are squished and they feel more like an 8.5. Right out of the box they looked way too small. Definitely NOT comfortable. I am unsure how to figure out the right size for me for an exchange based on these reviews and the sites sizing guidelines. I'm so disappointed.
The reviews on here are so overwhelmingly positive that I'm wondering if they only post the good ones!

I finally found a pair of the wonderful Erika in the teal/brown colorway, took a chance on 8.5 and they are perfect with a thin sock. My usual 8 in the Fellowship family is seeming small--bought the new Sandras and having trouble getting them to be as comfy as my other pairs in size 8. Erika looks great with jeans and I do believe I'll be getting the purple/navy ones very soon.
Best color combo ever.
Ahna - Seattle
I've been eyeballing these since their first release, but the purple/navy colorway was the one that pushed me over the edge into buying them. They are super-cute and fit pretty true to size; I waver between a 7-7.5 in Fellowships and ended up with 7 in these as my feet are pretty narrow and the heel felt a little loose in the larger size. I wore them out of the store, and as with most of my 'Vogs, had no problems at all. I love the aqua contrast stitching, too. What adorable shoes.
Karen - Ottawa
My only complaint about this shoe is that, at the moment, it only comes in the one colour combo - they're so cute and comfy, I want multiple pairs, but it's hard to justify buying more in the black and ivory.
I bought them about a month before a vacation in which I was planning on doing a lot of walking in a big city. I wanted to be comfortable, but I also wanted to be in something more stylish than athletic shoes; these were perfect. They have since become my favourite work shoes - I probably wear them 3-4 days out of 5, even though I have many more work shoes to choose from.
I am usually a size 7.5 or 8, and the 8 is a good fit for me in these. They were slightly narrow, but they stretched well from normal wear.
So, seriously, make these in more colours! I'll buy them! How about burgundy and red? Brown and green? Grey and pink? I'll be checking back. ;-)

First disappointment
V Tremblay - Montreal
Confidently bought these as my fourth Fluevogs. Unfortunately, both toe boxes collapsed after 3 weeks, for no reason. I brought them back, sure the store would find a solution. It took nearly two months and many reminders from my part. The idea - glueing extra leather under the weakend part- mostly made the shoes tighter. Seems I'll never enjoy them...
Super saddles
Jane - London, Ontario
I was accustomed to wearing heels and had to switch to flats after a foot injury. I picked up these babies hoping they would be a good multi-purpose shoe. I was not disappointed, they're fantastic. I often go barefoot in them (ew!) because they're not super-chunky. The leather is soft and the soles are squishy rubber; maybe not as durable as I'd like but very pleasant to walk on. I have very average sized feet and I found they fit true to size.
What everyone else says about compliments is true, I get comments all the time.

Really comfortable after a year, and still so cute!
Victoria - United States
Every time I wear these shoes people stop me and comment on how much they like them. They are super comfortable. I walk around on marble and cement a lot and they are just great!
Love love love these!
Brandy - Los Angeles
I've had these shoes for a year now and I absolutely love them. They are my second pair of Fluevogs and I just ordered my third (Bellevues Libby Smith). Fluevogs are so comfy and stylish. I get complements every time I wear them. :-D
Jennie Loyal - New Orleans
After 17 years of Fluevogging, this is my first disappointment. I adore the shoes, but after about 20 wears the heel fell off. (:`( It seems easy enough to repair, but my customer service experience has been disappointing as well. I will get the heel put back on by a local repair shop and hopefully it stays put this time!
Looks great, not so comfy
Lou - Ontario
This is only my second Fluevog pair, and I am in LOVE with my first pair (Malenas). I bought this second pair specifically for walking and for comfort, and sadly I don't find it all that comfortable. They are very pretty, though, and I always get compliments on them!
cute, comfy shoes
Amalia - texas
i got these shoes as an early anniversay present from my husband. we were vacationing in seattle and stopped at the store there (unfortunately there's no store where we live) and i had to try those and several others on. @>-
these are the ones i brought home and i love them! i have gotten MANY compliments. these shoes do run a little small, i needed a 6 1/2 vs. my regular 6.

A Foot in Heaven
Jan Willis - Ottawa
I dropped in to the Gastown store on a recent visit to Vancouver, just to have a look, and ended up buying these shoes. "Comfortable" does not quite accurately describe how they feel because they are more than that; no pinching, no squished toes. I'm almost tempted not to wear them outside just to keep them in pristine condition but I'm also anxious to have people ask me where I got my shoes. Even my 26-year-old son was suitably impressed so I commend Fluevog for making such distinctive footwear.
Gin - Dallas, Texas
Okay...these are probably one of the most expensive pairs of shoes that I have ever purchased but it was an early birthday present to myself. I have stared at these for over a year since they came out but I have to say that they are worth every single one of the pennies. These are so cute, get so many compliments but the best thing is that they are so so so comfortable walking all over New York City in. I walked out in these and I haven't really taken them off.
Cute Shoes
ShoeLoverBoston - Boston, mA
I bought these shoes in store as they are super cute, but when I got home, they didn't work with my arch support (stupid feet!). I waited too long to return these, so I wasn't able to return them. If anyone wants to buy these in a size 8.5 I am happy to send them to you for $230. They are brand new and I'm very sad I can't wear them. I'm even more sad that I can't exchange them for a shoe that is wearable via John Fluevog.
Collect compliments
Hilary - Boston
Darling and comfortable. Wear them in a social mood, because complete strangers will come talk with you about your shoes.
DANY - United States
These shoes are just perfect. Comfortable flats are hard to find. I wear a lot of Fryes but they are often more chunky then I want for skirts. These are cute, utilitarian and awesome out of the box. If I could only have one pair of shoes it would be these. Please don't ever stop making them. I'm a wide 6 and a 6.5 was perfect for me. ,-)
ERIKA - Nostalgic yet Trendy
JVS - BC, Canada
,-) 'Was walking at downtown Vancouver when some women stopped me to say how cute my shoes are. I had the mandaring orange & beige which goes so well with black T-shirt and black pants. I could walk for hours cause they're so comfortable. I will get another pair, this time the black & ivory.
This style will always be in.

Brilliant walking shoes
Misty Harris - Edmonton, AB
I felt compelled to post a review after spending nearly two weeks walking around Paris in these shoes -- and not having a single blister or memory of discomfort to show for it. It was SUCH a treat to find walking shoes that were actually stylish. I had to knot the laces before putting them in a bow (as per a previous reviewer, they come undone easily if you don't), but they were practically perfect. Thank you! @>-
Sweet everyday shoe..
Tamara Burke - Mansfield, VT
My first pair of Fluevogs I would describe as an "everyday" shoe.. but my everyday isn't quite like yours. My day starts out in the barn, tending angora rabbits and Icelandic sheep. It's a heck of a shoe that can go from the barnyard to the boardroom without missing a beat. My Wearever Gracias are pretty good at the transition but these are much better. Less chance of the heel catching if you're sprinting after a lamb.
Surefooted and surprisingly cute. I'd definitely consider ordering another pair when these decide they're no longer happy running around a barn.

Fangirl squeee
Carmen - BC
Just got these in the mail today. They are so cute. I usually prefer shoes that are not black or brown; I always think they look so boring. But I was quite taken with the black & ivory color combo. They are so kawaii!!!!! *Insert Fangirl Squee*
Even with wide feet my other Fluevogs (inez sexton, prepare guides) have been size 11. With these I went to 11.5 as recommended and the fit is good. I am glad I didn't get 11 or I probably would have had to send them back.

Cloud-like dream of a shoe
Jen - Columbus, OH
I was lucky enough to snag a pair of these in the cobalt/brown color combination before my very common size became unavailable. Fresh outta the box, I wore them on a trip to NYC for four days straight. I had no blisters, no sore spots, and TONS of compliments. I love wearing these with scalloped-edge ankle socks and circle skirts; they are a perfect blend of punk rock and bobby socks. The only downside is I'm slightly afraid to polish them because I'm worried about damaging the color! (I did a spot test once and some of the blue dye rubbed off on my cloth.)
Shannon - Los Angeles
I got these in the Mandarin, and I love them. This is my third pair of 'Vogs, (Zaza in the purple and orange, and Flagstad in the teal/brown) and so far my favorite. I put a couple miles on them, a few times a week, and wear them with just about anything casual. Jeans, shorts, skirts, you name it.
I also get a lot of random compliments on my shoes, which is fun. :D
My other Fluevogs are 10s, but I went up to a 10 1/2 in these. I've got moderately wide feet, which was the deciding factor for me. I love the Alli and Amanda but they just don't match my foot shape very well - the rounder toe and wider cut of these is perfect.

Pix - Edmonton
I picked these up in pure black and I now wear them constantly. I can go for 9 hours on my feet and not feel a thing. I'm so happy with the way they feel. My only, teensy complaint is that the material the laces are made of slips really easily and so I'm retying them quite often. I'll have to pick up a new pair of laces soon so I have to keep pausing to tighten them up. Otherwise, the perfect shoe for work, going out, shows - everything!
awesome, but the heels are too soft
Jo - Seattle
I have the Erikas, a mary-jane that isn't the Kathy's, and a mid-calf boot that's not listed here. In all three cases, the rubber on the heel is too soft and tends to disconnect from the rest of the heel, which causes damage to the leather wrap. My shoe repair man at UVillage in Seattle put a harder kind of heel on all 3 that looks great and solves the problem--but at $19.95 a pair it kinda sucks.
These are darling!
Gladys - southern California
These are my go-to shoes: easy to slip on, comfortable for driving, and absolutely adorable. I have them in cobalt-and-brown (though the cobalt verges on turquoise, which I love). I went up half a size (from 5 to 5 1/2) because they run a bit narrow, but now that they've been broken in they feel a tad loose even with socks. While they are still comfy, I would suggest sticking with your true size and trusting the soft leather to give way after they break in.
Natalie - Chicago
I have a wide foot and, because of this, sizes in Fluevogs vary significantly. I typically wear a six, got these in a 6.5 and there is a little (but not too much) room at the toe. The width is just dandy. For reference I wear a 6 in the Wearever style and a 7 in Soprano. I would say if you have an odd foot go to the store. One of the sizes will fit you perfectly!
Feeling younger again
Montserrat - New York
Looooooooooooooooove those shoes too. I wore yesterday and i was feeling i was going to school again :-B . Are so cute and the most important so comfortable.
I likie
K - Edmonton
These Vogs are instantly comfortable, fit true to size, have a really comfortable low heel height without being flat...and they are funky without being too heavy. My only wish is that the toe wasn't so square. Otherwise, they are perfect!
i looked around the world
gwen - new zealand
I searched everywhere for the perfect saddle shoe...I finally found it in NYC at Fluevog...I don't want to take them off
Charlotte - Seattle
I have owned at least 15 pairs of Fluevogs, and I have two pairs of Fellowships including the Ericas. So far, my opinion of the Fellowships is that they fit nice and look pretty, but they are not as sturdy as I would like.
What's old is new - and much better!
Michele Menard Ferazzutti - Toronto
I used to think that saddle shoes were ugly,and heavy, and clunky.. did I mention ugly? But oh .. THESE saddle shoes, in the blue/brown combo, are light and lithe, and fun!! I catch people eyeing them on the subway - and when they make eye contact and smile or nod - I know it's another Fluevogger. They look fantastic with jeans, with a straight skirt and tights, and I only wish I could still fit into my school uniform kilt!
Linda - Colorado
. . . and my friend said, "Well, they are nice. But that is an awful lot of money to spend on a pair of shoes." And I knew at that moment that we couldn't be friends anymore. John, thanks for being my friend. Sometimes, I think you are the only one who understands me. @>-
Sexy, sexy saddle shoes...
Alida - Calgary, Alberta
These blue saddle shoes are the BEST for comfort and for looking fabulous. I always feel ultra slick when I wear these and plus they fit well into my musician lifestyle! (cute with jeans or capris!)Thanks for the coolest shoes on the planet.
Becca - Woodinville, WA
Who wouldn't love blue saddle shoes? Everyone loves them, but only a select few are smart enough to buy and wear them! These are so comfortable and so eye-catching. Get some and everyone will envy you.
I love my Erika's!
Erika - Hollywood
My other Fluevogs are jealous and miss me terribly.

Amazing shoes
Bistra - Sofia, Bulgaria
I saw these shoes and fell in love immediately… It was in Haight Ashbury in SF, maybe one of the most appropriate places for Fluevog shoes. The blue-green color and the outstanding leather and work! Unbelievable – after visiting that shop I am already a shoe-addicted person, actually Fluevog-addicted… And to not forget: the personnel of the shop were the kindest and nicest people I have ever met in a shoe shop. Bravo! :-)

The following definitions are standard:
An affine variety $V$ in $A^n$ is a complete intersection (c.i.) if its vanishing ideal can be generated by ($n - \dim V$) polynomials in $k[X_1,\ldots, X_n]$. The definition can also be made for projective varieties.
$V$ is locally a complete intersection (l.c.i.) if the local ring of each point on $V$ is a c.i. (that is, quotient of a regular local ring by an ideal generated by a regular sequence).
What are examples (preferably affine) of l.c.i. which are not c.i. ? I have never seen such one.

Your open and transparent government at work
Paving season officially started on Friday. This press release was the starting gun:
Road work is scheduled for the districts of Trinity North and Bellevue this summer as the Department of Transportation and Works rolls out its annual Provincial Roads Improvement Program.Conspicuously absent?
"This government is committed to maintaining our more than 9, 000 kilometres of provincial roads to a high standard," said the Honourable Tom Hedderson, Minister of Transportation and Works. "Our Provincial Roads Improvement Program ensures the quality of our highways every year by making priority maintenance and improvements possible."
The department is set to call a tender for the rehabilitation and repaving of sections of Route 204 between Long Beach and Butter Cove. A tender will also be called for the realignment of the intersection of Arnold's Cove Road and Refinery Road.
"I am pleased to see this work happening in our region," said Calvin Peach, MHA for Bellevue. "Every improvement we make to our highway system enhances our overall network of roads."
Any mention of the dollar value of the work to be done in Trinity North and Bellevue.
Stung with (entirely true) accusations that highways work was being doled out under partisan electoral considerations rather than highways engineering ones, in 2009 Danny Williams-Government simply stopped releasing the figures, and even either stopped keeping them, or, if kept, started denying that such records exist.
This is a practice which Kathy Dunderdale and her gormless cabinet have inherited holus-bolus. They almost seem proud of their opacity.
Which makes it almost hysterical, Mr. Speaker, if your sense of humour bends that way, Mr. Speaker, to hear Kathy Dunderdale say, Mr. Speaker, as she told the House of Assembly the other week:
Mr. Speaker, anybody who is concerned about access to information and the practice of this government only has to compare it to the kind of access to information former Administrations had for the people of this Province. Mr. Speaker, it was little or nothing. There is more information available to the people of the Province now, Mr. Speaker, than ever before in our history.
Mr. Speaker, I have no problem with people having access to information. The more information you can provide to people, Mr. Speaker, the better informed they are, the better they understand your rationale for doing certain things. Mr. Speaker, it also requires when you are in governance that in the best interest of good governance and good stewardship that you moderate some types of information as far as making them available to the public.
This government is more open, provides more information, Mr. Speaker, than any government in the history of our Province. We are very proud of that, Mr. Speaker.

Capital acts as a buffer against losses and affords protection for account holders during periods of financial instability for the bank. Therefore, a bank's level of capital is a valuable measurement of a bank's financial resilience. From a safety and soundness perspective, the higher the capital, the better.
BNC National Bank fell below the national average of 13.13 on our test to measure capital adequacy, receiving a score of 10 out of a possible 30 points.
One widely followed measure of this buffer is a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. BNC National Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 17.06 percent, above the 6 percent level regulators consider adequate, but under the national average of 25.65 percent. A higher capital ratio means the bank will be better able to stand up to economic difficulties.
Overall, BNC National Bank held equity amounting to 9.93 percent of its assets, which was lower than the national average of 12.03 percent.
In this test, Bankrate tries to determine the impact of problem assets, such as unpaid loans, on the bank's loan loss reserves and overall capitalization.
A bank with extensive holdings of these types of assets could eventually be required to use capital to absorb losses, reducing its equity buffer. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and thus aren't earning interest for the bank, decreasing earnings and increasing the risk of a failure in the future.
On Bankrate's test of asset quality, BNC National Bank scored 40 out of a possible 40 points, beating the national average of 37.49 points.
The percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets is a helpful indicator of asset quality.As of December 31, 2017, 0.43 percent of BNC National Bank's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's below the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks keep a reserve to handle troubled assets known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses." Comparing the reserve's size to the total amount of problem loans can be a handy indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage problem assets. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on BNC National Bank's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
How profitable a bank is has an effect on its safety and soundness. Earnings can be retained by the bank, increasing its capital cushion, or be used to address problematic loans, potentially making the bank better able to withstand economic shocks. Banks that are losing money, however, are less able to do those things.
On Bankrate's test of earnings, BNC National Bank scored 14 out of a possible 30, coming in below the national average of 15.12.
One widely used way to measure a bank's earnings is return on equity, or net income (profit, basically) divided by total equity. BNC National Bank's most recent annualized quarterly return on equity was 6.37 percent, below the national average of 8.10 percent.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the bank reported net income of $6.0 million on total equity of $93.8 million. The bank experienced an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.62 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

Nepalis Are Not Dumb. They Voted Parties with Best Economic Policies for Nepal
By Siromani Dhungana/UWB
"An empty stomach is not a good political adviser"- Albert Einstein
The Constituent Assembly election is over now but its impact will remain until the next election. People have expressed their aspirations and exercised their power during this election so as to set the progressive course for issues that matter them the most. After humiliating defeat of left-extremism, there is hue and cry among so-called progressive analysts who think the country still needs extremist agendas to dominate Nepali life and influence policies. Supporters of left-extremism (aka ethnic federalism) are trying their best to interpret the result as voters' revenge against Maoists but not their approval of stands taken by the Nepali Congress and the UML on federalism (multiple identity). In this article, I am not going after the ethnic extremists' lame argument. This is my attempt to analyze the election results in the light of economy.

Recent evidence from a region in Chile suggests a link between arsenic in drinking water and tuberculosis. Further research is needed to determine whether the element makes TB more deadly or whether it makes people who ingest it more susceptible to the disease. Tuberculosis used to be the leading cause of death in the United States. Today it is much less common here, but still affects people in other countries – especially those with weaker immune systems like children and elderly folk. Though TB is rare among Americans, we thought it would still be good to share with you the other, equally serious, dangers of water contaminated with arsenic.
Currently, the EPA has set the maximum allowable level for arsenic in drinking water at 10 parts per billion (ppb), and is considering lowering that limit, as ingesting arsenic can have dangerous consequences. A study by the National Academy of Sciences in 1999 reported that arsenic is linked to bladder, lung and skin cancer, as well as kidney and liver cancer. It also harms the central and peripheral nervous systems, heart and blood vessels, and causes serious skin problems.
Since arsenic is undetectable by human senses, how do you make sure your water is arsenic-free? Well, not everyone is at risk. So first, test your water for arsenic to determine if your levels are above or below the current maximum allowable standard. According to the CDC, currently about 80 percent of Americans are drinking water that contains arsenic at levels less than 2 ppb – well below the standard set by the EPA. However, two percent exceed 20 ppb. If you are within that 2 percent, it's definitely time to get a water filter that removes arsenic. These are easily found by visiting FiltersFast.com and typing "arsenic" into our new-and-improved search box. Yep, it's that simple folks.
In addition to reducing arsenic, the Pentek RO-3500 Reverse Osmosis filter also reduces hexavalent chromium – a carcinogen that's been found in the water supplies of 31 U.S. cities.

In 14 days, millions of New Yorkers, including hundreds of Bailey House clients, will be expecting their SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or SSD (Social Security Disability) benefits to arrive by electronic transfer into their accounts. These benefits, which range from $900 to $1,200 monthly, pay for daily survival – groceries, rent, non-reimbursed medication costs, Metro Cards, clothing and all of the other things many of us take for granted. Today there is talk that if the government defaults, the big ticket items, like debt payments, SSI, SSD etc. that are paid out at the end of the month, may be delayed or suspended.
Over the last few weeks we've been lulled into believing that despite what was happening in Congress, the most vulnerable among us would be fine. Default is the big game changer. There won't be anywhere to turn except to community-based organizations like Bailey House. Last month we distributed close to 1,000 food pantry bags, each of which contains three meals. Starting Monday, October 21st, we are adding baby food and other essentials needed by the women who receive WIC (The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) for their babies and young children because WIC has been closed since the beginning of the shutdown. If there is a default, demand for food and other survival items could increase tenfold. We are working to step up to the challenge. It is our legacy.
On behalf of our clients, we would very much appreciate any help you can provide to cover these additional costs in this uncertain time.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Emma Talley gave the Southeastern Conference something else to shout about.
The rising Alabama sophomore won the U.S. Women's Amateur on Sunday, beat Yueer Cindy Feng 2 and 1 at the Country Club of Charleston.
"Thanks everybody. You were all awesome, and 'Roll Tide,'" she told the crowd after closing out Feng on the next-to-last hole in the 36-hole final.
PGA:Dufner takes first major title
TIGER:Another major-less season
The 19-year-old Talley, from Princeton, Ky., had a "Big Al" mascot headcover, the Crimson Tide's script "A'' logo on her shoes and coach Mic Potter and teammate Stephanie Meadows in the gallery cheering her on throughout the match. Meadow carried a sign, "Go Emma. Roll Tide," throughout the 36 holes.
And Talley needed all the support she could get, squandering a three-up lead early in the afternoon round. But Talley took the lead for good with a birdie on the 10th hole, the 28th of the match, and didn't let Feng back in front.
Talley finished the match when the 17-year-old Feng conceded par on the par-3 17th, then missed a 6-footer for a par that would've sent the match to the 36th hole. She'll bring the winner's medal and her new title back to campus this fall and hopefully make an impact on the school's fanbase, which has its sights set on a third national football crown.
"Football at Alabama is pretty much the biggest thing there is," Talley said. "I do know that I have friends who are Alabama athletes who've been following me and watching on TV."
Feng was vying to become the first Chinese-born player to win a USGA title.
Talley looked as if she had gained control of the match at the end of the morning 18 after birdies on the 17th and 18th holes left her 1 up at the lunch break. She extended that lead when play resumed with a birdie on the second hole and moved to 3 up on Feng's bogey on the par-4 fourth.
Just as quickly as Talley moved in front, Feng caught up and tied things with birdies on the fifth and sixth holes and Talley's botched chip on No. 7 that led to a bogey.
"The good thing about that was she was making shots," Talley said. "I hardly did anything wrong. I just had to keep playing my game because I knew it wasn't over at all."
Talley struggled with the putter early on. She three-putted four of her first 10 holes, yet only trailed by a hole.
Talley got things going on perhaps the club's trickiest hole, the par-3 11th reverse redan where Sam Snead once made a 13 in a 1937 tournament. Talley put her tee shot in a bunker right of the green, then deftly chipped to about 10 feet and made the putt to square the match. Feng landed in a bunker on the par 3's other side and needed two shots to make the green.
Feng regained the lead a hole later when her approach to the par-4, 12th finished about 2 feet from the flag for a birdie.
Another stellar bunker shot by Talley to about 6 feet past — she had her the blade of her wedge almost total parallel to the sand — led to another birdie on the 14th hole to again tie the match.
Talley closed the morning round with two straight birdies on the 17th and 18th shots for a 1 up lead at the break. She got inside of Feng's 12-footer on the par-3 17th for a birdie that tied the match.
Talley struck a final time on the 18th, her approaching finishing about 5 feet past for a birdie.
Both Talley and Feng have spots in next year's U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst, N.C., as long as they don't turn pro. Feng, though, has signed up for LPGA Tour qualifying school with the hope of joining the tour.
Feng was disappointed in losing the match, but satisfied with her play this week. "I didn't think I would get this far," she said. "This is the biggest tournament in amateur golf. So to get into the finals, it's really a big accomplishment."
Talley hopes to play professionally one, too. Right now, she can't wait to get back to school. "I do want to go pro," she said. "But right now, I just love college too much."

We'd heard a rumor last year that Ford is considering bringing its Fiesta to America in 2007 as a new entry-level model below the Focus. Maybe if Mazda decides to launch the Mazda2 in the US market — as was implied recently by Mazda prez Hisakazu Imaki — Ford will ride along with a rebadged version. At least that's what My Ford Dreams is asking. Whatever happens, it's assured something will happen in the lower end of the Ford stable — it has to, what with all the competition gearing up for a mini showdown.

Police nab criminals by their fingerprints–and soon doctors may be able to nab bacteria by their "breathprint."
Researchers at the University of Vermont have been developing technologies that detect disease-causing bacteria in the lung by simply measuring what's in the breath. The research has potential for creating a fast and easy breath test to detect common infections like tuberculosis.
Traditional tests to diagnose bacterial infections in the lungs can take days or weeks, says Jane Hill, a professor in UVM's College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences who co-led the new study, "but we can measure breath in one minute."
The new technique profiles volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — gases swirling in the air exhaled from the lungs — to generate a distinctive chemical signature for differing types of infectious bacteria.
Led by UVM graduate student Jiangjiang Zhu, the team successfully distinguished between species of bacteria, as well as strains of the same bacteria, in the lungs of infected laboratory mice.
Their results were presented in the Journal of Breath Research, published online by the Institute of Physics, on January 11, 2013.
Disease detection
Clinicians see breath-testing as an attractive method for diagnosing disease; it's easy to use, not invasive, and potentially inexpensive. Scientists have already investigated breath-based diagnostics for multiple cancers, asthma, and diabetes.
In this study, the researchers analyzed the VOCs given off by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, both of which are common in lung infections associated with pneumonia and other diseases including cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The scientists first infected mice with the two bacteria and sampled their breath after 24 hours. Then they ionized the samples and sprayed them through a mass spectrometer to analyze the presence and concentrations of various VOCs.
The technique is called secondary electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, or SESI-MS, which is capable of detecting VOCs down to parts-per-trillion.
The UVM team — with members from the School of Engineering, the College of Medicine's Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, and the Vermont Lung Center — found that there was a significant difference between the breath profiles of mice infected with the bacteria and mice that were uninfected. The two different species of bacteria could also be distinguished, as could the two different strains of the P. aeruginosa that were used.
The researchers hypothesize that bacteria in the lungs produce unique VOCs that are not found in regular human breath due to their differing metabolism.
"Bacteria, when they get in your lung, are eating the body as their source of nutrients," says Hill, "this releases byproducts — a particular suite of volatiles, which are unique to the bacterium. And that's the basis for this research. Every bacterium has its own set of metabolic enzymes and its own interaction with the host which allows us to distinguish between one bacterium and another during infection."
And this real-world, real-body aspect of the research is important, since the VOC profile of bacteria grown in laboratory dishes can look dramatically different than those living in host organisms. The new study reported only a 25-34 percent overlap in the VOC profile of the same bacteria strains grown in a lab culture versus when grown in mice.
Next steps
The UVM team—which, in addition to Hill and Zhu, includes pulmonology physician Laurie Leclair, microbiologist Matthew Wargo, and engineering researcher Heather Bean—is moving the laboratory research toward human clinical trials, including an upcoming study in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital.
"I suspect that we will also be able to distinguish between bacterial, viral and fungal infections of the lung," Hill says.
The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world's population carries tuberculosis and that this lung disease causes more than a million deaths each year.
"TB takes about six weeks to diagnose," says Hill, allowing an infected person to spread it unwittingly. "Faster diagnosis of the disease would allow for faster treatment decisions and would also decrease disease transmission."
She anticipates a time when patients could visit a physician, breathe into an instrument and know within minutes, "what you're infected with," she says, and, perhaps, "whether your antibiotic regime is effective, whether you need different antibiotics, and whether you have more then one bug causing your problem."
The new research has drawn the attention of international media including the BBC and Scientific American.
This research was supported by the UVM College of Medicine's National Center for Research Resources COBRE grant, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences within the National Institutes of Health, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and NASA EPSCoR.

Here you can see a detailed look at the forecast for the next 48 hours. Note that the base for this is our Meteogram product, which shows a good average forecast for Kohden (Wetteraukreis, Hesse, Germany).
However, you can also look at our compact prediction based on any other model that forecasts for your chosen location.
The following models are available for Kohden:
Swiss Super HD (2-3 days), COSMO-D2 (1-2 days), ECMWF 6z/18z (3 days), ECMWF IFS HRES (5 days), ICON-EU (5 days), Swiss HD (3 days), EURO-4 (2 days), HIRLAM-KMNI (2 days), GFS (5 days), GEM (5 days), ACCESS-G (5 days), ICON (5 days), NORWAY (5 days), DWD MOSMIX (5 days), Serbian MOS (5 days)
This plot displays the 14 day temperature forecast for your selected location, Kohden.
The red numbers show the expected high temperature for a given day, while the blue numbers show the expected low temperature. Because forecast uncertainty increases with time, we also display the range of possible high/low temperature outcomes, shown as the shaded red/blue regions. The actual high/low temp could fall anywhere in that shaded region, and the larger the shaded regions are, the higher the forecast uncertainty is.
Current weather - Here we've put together a glance at all the most important information about the current weather in Kohden (Wetteraukreis, Hesse, Germany). You can see with the radar HD if precipitation is falling at the moment, or headed towards Kohden soon. You can also see where there are thunderstorms currently ongoing, as well as where thunderstorms have occurred in recent weeks and months with our lightning analysis tool. Our HD satellite images of Kohden will show you whether there's sunshine currently in the area, or if clouds are making for a more gloomy day. Finally, current observations will tell you what current temperatures look like around Kohden at the moment, as well as if it's humid and/or windy.

The writer, tall and owlish, a sly grin on his face, ambles in soft-soled shoes down the hall of his roomy Upper East Side apartment. His office is a tad disorderly, he says by way of apology, but also, it might seem, as a means of foreshadowing.
It's tempting to imagine E.L. Doctorow, our master channeler of bygone Americas, hunched over a manual typewriter here. Clackety-clack. Sepia tones. Joplin on the Victrola.
But Doctorow, who turned 83 this month, rejects the label of "historical novelist" so often ascribed to him, saying the word used to describe his avocation needs no modification. When he sits in this narrow space filled with books and piles of periodicals he's meaning to read, his fingers meander across the keyboard of a laptop computer, rather than a Smith-Corona. He props his IBM ThinkPad in an awkward posture, wobbling atop a thick book about Herodotus, the ancient Greek historian.
"The important thing is to not to be too comfortable when you're writing," Doctorow explains. "Noise in the street? That's good. The computer goes down? That's good. All these things are good. It has to be a little bit of a struggle."
Doctorow challenges readers of his new novel, "Andrew's Brain," an enigmatic wonder that goes on sale today, to struggle a bit, too. "I do think this book, more than most, is one that judges its readers," Doctorow says. "If someone is looking for ordinary formulaic fiction, this is not it."
In "Andrew's Brain," Doctorow abandons the mostly linear storytelling form that distinguished his earlier and much- celebrated literary novels, such as the precisely woven and digestible bestsellers "The March" and "The Book of Daniel." "My sense of what a book should be has changed so radically — I like to think for the better," he says.
Doctorow has been amused as advance readers try to unravel the meanings of his latest work. The novel, which somersaults through time and perspective, is mainly built upon an extended conversation between a misfortune-plagued cognitive scientist named Andrew and a frequently befuddled questioner he sometimes calls "Doc."
One reader guessed that Doc is a ventriloquist and Andrew a dummy, Doctorow says, his right eye arching as he sits at the head of the table in a dining room with antiquey pastoral-scene wallpaper.
He stops and laughs.
"Someone else said that Andrew is a computer," he recounts. An editor friend read it, then immediately started re-reading it to try to understand it. In a conversation with another friend, Doctorow suggested that the book might be thought of "as an installation."
"And we were both puzzled by what I just said. Why did I say that?" Eventually he settled on the idea of the book existing "in the nature of an installation that you walk into: you get hit by everything at once."
He likes playing with iterations and reiterations. Andrew first spots his future wife while she is doing a handstand at the small college where he's teaching. In the book's climactic scene — spoiler alert — Andrew suddenly does a handstand in the Oval Office, alarming the Secret Service.
"All of these things sort of light up each other," he says.
In the next room, Doctorow's wife, Helen, has laid out cheese-filled pastries and placed two pots of coffee — regular and decaf — on a well-worn warming tray set on an enormous kitchen island. "A caterer once told me it was the biggest kitchen she'd ever seen, 'Except Yoko Ono's, of course,' " Helen says. "I loved that: 'Of course!' "
The couple moved into the fashionable pre-war building in 2000, consolidating two households — their home in New Rochelle and their apartment in Greenwich Village — into one. Books were piled everywhere and "triage" was required to thin them. "It looked like the Collyer brothers," says Helen, referring to the famous hoarders who were the inspiration for Doctorow's 2009 novel, "Homer & Langley."
In his youth, Doctorow studied drama at Kenyon College in Ohio. He only started getting good parts, he says, when one of his older classmates graduated: that would be Paul Newman.
When Doctorow began writing, he decided to use his initials — his full name is Edgar Lawrence Doctorow — because writers he admired had done so, men such as D.H. Lawrence, T.S. Eliot and E.M. Forster. But friends call him Edgar.
Doctorow worked as an editor in the 1960s, poring over the manuscripts of authors such as Ayn Rand, James Baldwin, Norman Mailer and William Kennedy. Later, his tendency to self-edit sometimes led to last-minute dramas. His 1980 novel "Loon Lake" was already in production when he told the publisher to stop everything after deciding he had "done something tremendously wrong."
"The tone of it was wrong for the young man who was narrating it. He needed more of an edge," he says. "You want it to be perfect."
Still, he considers the quest for perfection perilous. He launches into a remembrance of "The Birth-Mark," a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne about a scientist who marries a beautiful woman but becomes obsessed with a red birthmark on her face. The scientist devises a potion to rid her of the blemish, but when it fades she dies.
As such, Doctorow says he has occasionally left errors in his books. In one early novel, a character removes the blades of a windmill as winter approaches. A reader told him that blades are tied down before storms, rather than removed. He decided not to fix the mistake in future printings. In a sense, it was his book's birthmark.
Doctorow seldom reads his previous work, though they fill shelves in libraries and bookstores around the world. "There's an alienation that occurs with your present writing-self and your past writing-self. I could not duplicate right now my first novel. . . . Not that I'd want to."
His books became bestsellers and accumulated piles of awards — a National Book Critics Circle prize for "Ragtime," a National Book Award for "World's Fair," a PEN/Faulkner for "Billy Bathgate." But by the late 1990s, Doctorow was gripped by a "desire to sort of break through and break the mold," a feeling that took firmer hold while he was writing his 2000 novel, "City of God."
The ideas for his books invariably stem from images that he can't erase from his mind. The sight of a group of men in tuxedoes inspired "Billy Bathgate," his novel about a teenage boy who becomes the protege of the gangster Dutch Schultz.
"Andrew's Brain" was triggered by dual memories: an image of a little girl coloring and an emotional conversation Doctorow had with a friend who confided that he had inadvertently killed his child. Over drinks one night, the man told Doctorow about the child dying in his arms after he administered an incorrect medicine with an eye dropper. The travails of his friend — a decent man connected to a string of tragedies — informed Doctorow's portrait of his character, Andrew.
"It is dangerous to stare into yourself," Andrew says. "You pass through endless mirrors of self-estrangement. This too is the brain's cunning, that you are not to know yourself."
Andrew wrestles with the nature of his own consciousness. "It's a kind of jail, the brain's mind," he says. The brain, he postulates, can pretend to be the soul.
Doctorow suggests that Andrew's brain "does things before he can stop it from doing them." But he's hesitant to impose an interpretation, hoping that readers will arrive at their own conclusions. "The nature of good fiction is that it dwells in ambiguity," he says.
President Obama has sometimes referred to Doctorow as his favorite writer. In December, the president bought a copy of "Ragtime" at Politics & Prose in Northwest Washington. Doctorow hadn't known before the 2008 election that Obama read him, but says, "I would have voted for him anyway."
Doctorow reserves scorn for Obama's predecessor. In 2004, Doctorow lambasted George W. Bush over the Iraq War in a column for the East Hampton Star that went viral. "I fault this president for not knowing what death is. . . . He hasn't the mind for it," Doctorow wrote.
And here another spoiler alert: A president who is not named, but is clearly Bush, plays a central role in the latter stages of Doctorow's new book. "Chaingang" and "Rumbum" are characters clearly meant to resemble former vice president Dick Cheney and former Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld. They are "insulated" men, Andrew observes, "imperial in their selfhood, these corporate culturists running a government."
With the passage of time, Doctorow predicts, readers will be less concerned with identifying the characters and will be left with something deeper. "What they will see is a statement of moral insufficiency as it's attached to power," he says.
The signal event of Bush's presidency — the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks — appears in vivid and emotionally wrenching detail in "Andrew's Brain," one of the more affecting fictional portrayals of that awful day yet produced.
Doctorow was at his weekend home in Sag Harbor, N.Y., on that morning as planes smashed into the World Trade Center. He set out for the city by car; his wife was at the apartment on the Upper East Side.
But he turned back when the radio squawked that police were closing major roads. He sat in Sag Harbor, studying maps, a native New Yorker bent on finding a secret route in. He set out again, certain that he'd figured out a way. But then the radio told him a few roads were opening.
He was almost disappointed. He'd wanted it to be a struggle.

A new version of the "Angry Birds" game is set in the "Star Wars" universe and features the movies' heroes and villains, the game's Finnish developer says.
Game company Rovio said the new game for iOS, Android and computers will see the birds square off against the pigs in the familiar "Star Wars" galaxy, CNET reported Monday.
In "Angry Birds Star Wars," the title birds will assume the personalities of intrepid "Star Wars" heroes such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo while the evil piggies have gone over to the dark side, taking on the roles of Darth Vader and other galactic villains.
Rovio and Lucasfilm are partnering on the project.
"You will see a pig-esque Vader and pig-esque stormtroopers," Lucasfilm marketing Vice President Paul Southern told USA Today.
Luke Skywalker's home world, Tatooine, and the ice planet, Hoth, will be featured in the game.
U.S. toy giant Hasbro says it made a deal with LucasFilm to manufacture and sell products based on the "Star Wars" edition of "Angry Birds."
The new product line from Hasbro will start rolling out next month.
"We've developed a selection of innovative toys and games featuring 'Angry Birds Star Wars' that delivers new ways to play for fans of these two great franchises," John Frascotti, chief marketing officer for Hasbro, said in a statement Monday.
"We're proud of our heritage of delivering 'Star Wars' toys that have entertained generations of kids and we're excited to offer fans of both 'Star Wars' and 'Angry Birds' the opportunity to experience their favorite characters and icons in exhilarating new ways."

Good night, sweet prince.
The good folks over in Mountain View are shuttering Google Reader, the search engine giant's popular web-based RSS service, on July 1, leading to much wailing and gnashing of teeth for news junkies across the Internet Wednesday night.
Google brief blog post hints at the reasoning behind the shutdown, that fit with the company's recent trend of killing off niche products (like the recently acquired Snapseed's desktop apps) so they can focus on fewer products with their (considerable) resources. Some suspect that Reader's functionality will make its way another Google product like Google+ (or the Currents app, mentioned below), so the hunt is on for other options.
Feedly (Web, iOS, Android)
Feedly looks like one of the strongest of the bunch and it is taking that potential role seriously. The company has a blog post announcing their new service Normandy, which aims to clone the backend of Google Reader without a user having to do a thing. As far as the web and mobile apps go, they are slick and are very configurable to suit just about any usage. Keep an eye on this one come summer.
Newsblur (Web, iOS, Android)
The closest mirror to Google Reader as it exists today is Newsblur, a multi-platform straight-forward reader that looks and acts a whole lot like the dearly departed Reader (but slower, which might be due to the fact that it's getting slammed with traffic right now). The catch: If you want the full experience, you're going to have to pay for it. Admittedly it isn't much (the full site unlocks for $1/month), but that's $12 a year more than Google was asking.
The Old Reader (Web only)
If all you want is an exact replica of the web-based Google Reader, with no social media connections or really anything else, The Old Reader is right up your alley. They are swamped right now and can't import your Google Reader feeds at the moment, but once the hubub dies down, this will be the go-to alternative for fans of minimalism (like this user is).
Flipboard (iOS, Android)
Not long after the debut of the iPad, and with it the idea of actually using a tablet regularly, Flipboard debuted with a revolutionary design that was part high-gloss magazine, part Google Reader. There have been many changes since it debuted, including moving from just iPads to iPhones and Android devices, but it's still at the top of its game and has spawned a lot of competition. UPDATE: Flipboard has gone so far as to build in a seamless transition of your feeds. Read more on their blog.
Google Currents (iOS, Android)
In a nutshell: Google noticed Flipboard and made its own version of a magazine reader. It's actually pretty good, too, and unlike Reader, it's still getting support from Google.
Zite, Pulse, Taptu
All of these apps do kind of the same thing in similar ways. Clearly their idea is to put a new, tile-based face on the old stodgy act of reading RSS feeds. The problem is that none of them quite get it right and, truthfully, a lot of people (this author included) just want to power through a couple hundred articles at once, which this kind of thumbnail-based interface just doesn't allow.
WordPress, the venerable DIY blogging platform, debuted a feature a little over two years ago called, appropriately, "Reader,' to help users keep track of their favorite WordPress blogs. But as fellow TechKnow Bytes blogger Laura Keeney reports, WordPress is developing a new set of features that could make it the best choice to replace Reader in the hearts and minds of news junkies.
Not content to let WordPress have all the fun, Digg, another of the former big players in the Web 2.0 push that has recently undergone a rebirth of its own, has jumped into the fray to build their own reader app, which you can help test. That site will also serve as a handy countdown timer for the most melodramatic and heartbroken Google Reader users.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram lauded the Indian selectors' decision to pick Irfan Pathan for the ongoing tour of Sri Lanka and said the Baroda speedster is the best choice to fill the all-rounder's slot in the team.
"He only needs a longer run to get his confidence back. I think Pathan is a better choice than any other all-rounder in India. He has improved a lot. I think it's important for Pathan and India that they need somebody at number seven or eight who can bowl and bat and this guy has got the ability," Akram told espnstar.com from London.
Pathan made the cut after Vinay Kumar pulled out of the Lankan series due to shoulder injury. He was dropped from the national side after a not-so-impressive run with the ball in Australia and in the Asia Cup where he ended with only 11 wickets from seven games.
Akram, meanwhile, is itching to see Yuvraj Singh back on the field.
"He is a very strong man, he's been through a lot and I think he'll be fine. Once Yuvraj starts playing he might not do well in one or two games, but once he gets his fitness back, he'll be Yuvraj of the old. I can't wait to see him," he said.
Yuvraj, who staged a brave recovery from germ-cell cancer, has been named in a 30-man preliminary squad for the World Twenty20 to be played in Sri Lanka from September 18 to October 7.
The Pakistani pace legend also lauded the national selectors for picking Lakshmipathy Balaji as T20 World Cup probable.
"Balaji is only 30 and I am glad that Indian selectors picked him. He is experienced with the slower bouncers, yorkers, and swings the new ball as well," he said.
"I think Balaji will be very handy and useful for India. I know him very well as he plays for my team Kolkata Knight Riders. He has clever bowling strategies and a very good mindset," he added.
The Tamil Nadu pacer last played an international game against Sri Lanka in February 2009.
After a long break, India started their new season with five ODI series against the Lankans at Hambantota.
Akram said the tour has come at a very crucial time and will give India valuable inputs of the conditions ahead of the T20 World Cup.

The answer to that question seems easy: Because it's night, duh. But on second thought, you'll remember the sky is actually littered with stars, and even though our sun is pretty close, it seems like a few hundred thousand (Hundred million? Hundred trillion?!) other stars should at least put out a better glow.
There is, of course, a very good answer for this, and it involves both the limits of the universe in time—not space—and the weakness of our puny human eyes. There's more to it than just that, but it get's complicated, so I'll let MinutePhysics explain. Suffice it to say, you won't see the night sky the same way again. [YouTube]

The IMF estimated the average haircut (decline in the net present value of the bond) was on an average 75% and the market priced in most of this haircut before the actual restructuring in Feb 2005. The prices of the bond in default declined nearly 65% between Feb 2001 and Feb 2005.
One should keep these figures in mind, for in the blog post "How Greece Killed Its Own Banks!"I ran through a much, much more optimistic scenario that wiped out ALL of the equity of the big Greek banks. Remember, the Greek government stuffed these banks to the gills with Greek bonds in order to created the perception of a market for them. As excerpeted...
Well, the answer is…. Insolvency! The gorging on quickly to be devalued debt was the absolutely last thing the Greek banks needed as they were suffering from a classic run on the bank due to deposits being pulled out at a record pace. So assuming the aforementioned drain on liquidity from a bank run (mitigated in part or in full by support from the ECB), imagine what happens when a very significant portion of your bond portfolio performs as follows (please note that these numbers were drawn before the bond market route of the 27th)…
The same hypothetical leveraged positions expressed as a percentage gain or loss…
When I first started writing this post this morning, the only other bond markets getting hit were Portugal's. After the aforementioned downgraded, I would assume we can expect significantly more activity. As you can, those holding these bonds on a leveraged basis (basically any bank that holds the bonds) has gotten literally toasted. We have discovered several entities that are flushed with sovereign debt and I am turning significantly more bearish against them. Subscribers, please reference the following:
- Sovereign Contagion Model - Retail (961.43 kB 2010-05-04 12:32:46)
- Sovereign Contagion Model - Pro & Institutional
- Irish Bank Strategy Note
- Euro Bank Soveregn Debt Exposure Final -Retail
- Euro Bank Soveregn Debt Exposure Final - Pro & Institutional
- Sovereign Debt Exposure of European Insurers and Reinsurers (Empty 2010-05-19 01:56:52)
To date, my work both free and particularly the subscription work, has shown significant returns. I am quite confident that the thesis behind the Pan-European Sovereign Debt Crisis research is still quite valid and has a very long run ahead of it. Let's look at one of the main Greek bank shorts that we went bearish on in January:
Now, referencing the bond price charts below as well as the spreadsheet data containing sovereign debt restructuring in Argentina, we get...
Price of the bond that went under restructuring and was exchanged for the Par bond in 2005
Price of the bond that went under restructuring and was exchanged for the Discount bond
With this quick historical primer still fresh in our heads, let's revisit our Greek, Spanish, and Italian banking analyses (the green sidebar to the right), many of which are trying to push the 400% mark in terms of returns if one purchased OTM options at the time of the research release. It may be worthwhile to review the Sovereign debt exposure of Insurers and Reinsurers as well.
We may very well get a bear market rally or two that may pop prices, but from a fundamental perspective, I do not see how significantly more pain is not to come out of this debt fiasco. The only question is who's next. We feel we have answered that question is sufficient detail through our Sovereign Contagion Model. Thus far, it has been right on the money for 5 months straight!

Harris Teeter
Harris Teeter is a chain of grocery stores located in Virginia and North Carolina. They are a great place to shop because they double coupons up to $.99 every day all the time. So a $.75 coupon is worth $1.50 off whatever you buy!
You won't need to tell the cashier to double the coupons- it will automatically happen, but you do need a VIC card (their store loyalty card). This will also give you access to the store's sale prices. The cards are free.
You can double 20 coupons per day. This is not a per store number- you can't use 20 at one location and drive to another to use another 20.
Their sales begin Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. and if the deals are really good you will sometimes see a line in the store.

Largowww necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 543 diseños de 147 diseñadores freelance.
Entropia Digital
Entropia is a mobile business telecommunications network designed for the professional user. In this sector it is the largest private operator in Belgium and the Netherlands for professional radio communication. You can find more information about the company on its website: http://www.entropia.eu.
Up to now, Entropia used mainly analog trunking technology. As this is now changing to digital technology, the operator decided to change its name from 'Entropia Networks' to 'Entropia Digital'. That's why there is also need for a new logo.
The clients of Entropia are businesses who are using radio communication. eg security companies, taxi firms, harbor companies etc.
On the website http://www.entropia.eu, you can find the current logo. The new logo does not have to be related to the old logo. The main name should be 'Entropia' with 'digital' as subtitle. The logo should reflect somehow about what kind of business Entropia is in. Otherwise there are no specific requirements regarding the shape, colors or font. Try to be original!
update: The entries upto now (first 15 entries) are not very original. So maybe e bit more explanation what we expect:
- It does not have to be based on the current entropia logo. It should be something new!
- Try to come up with a good idea. The old logo had an antenna in it, so the new logo should have something different
- it has to be recognizable. You can use for example some kind of animal in the logo.

CCO-certified crane operators who have recertified at least twice have held their certification for more than 10 years. In 2010 NCCCO started surveying this elite group to find out how CCO certification has made a difference to them and what real-life benefits they've seen from being certified over the long term. Survey results show that an overwhelming percentage believe their CCO certification has helped them to be safer operators, to communicate better with other trades on the job site, and to take advantage of increased employment opportunities.
In recognition of their long-standing support for CCO certification, NCCCO is profiling some of these long-time certificants here to bring their individual stories to life and illustrate the benefits that certification brings to those with a stake in making crane and lifting operations safer.
Watch your job site for the special star CCO logos that these operators are now eligible to wear; each star indicates how many times they've recertified, so you can be sure that these operators truly know their craft.

pvstencil — Transforms a pvoc stream according to a masking function table.
Transforms a pvoc stream according to a masking function table; if the pvoc stream amplitude falls below the value of the function for a specific pvoc channel, it applies a gain to that channel.
The pvoc stream amplitudes are compared to a masking table, if the fall below the table values, they are scaled by kgain. Prior to the operation, table values are scaled by klevel, which can be used as masking depth control.
Tables have to be at least fftsize/2 in size; for most GENS it is important to use an extended-guard point (size power-of-two plus one), however this is not necessary with GEN43.
One of the typical uses of pvstencil would be in noise reduction. A noise print can be analysed with pvanal into a PVOC-EX file and loaded in a table with GEN43. This then can be used as the masking table for pvstencil and the amount of reduction would be controlled by kgain. Skipping post-normalisation will keep the original noise print average amplitudes. This would provide a good starting point for a successful noise reduction (so that klevel can be generally set to close to 1).
Other possible transformation effects are possible, such as filtering and `inverse-masking'.
fsig -- output pv stream
fsigin -- input pv stream.
kgain -- `stencil' gain.
klevel -- masking function level (scales the ftable prior to `stenciling') .
iftable -- masking function table.
It is unsafe to use the same f-variable for both input and output of pvs opcodes. Using the same one might lead to undefined behavior on some opcodes. Use a different one on the left and right sides of the opcode.
Example 796. Example
fsig pvsanal asig, 1024, 256, 1024, 1 fclean pvstencil fsig, 0, 1, 1 aclean pvsynth fclean
