Color discrimination can be different than racial discrimination
You know that racial discrimination is illegal in the workplace, but did you know that discrimination based on skin color is also prohibited?

MIDDLETON and Heywood MP Jim Dobbin attended the March meeting of MATRA (Middleton Area Tenants And Residents Associations) at Rhodes Youth and Community Centre on Friday.
MATRA had previously identified the issues of most concern to the tenants and residents of Middleton, and submitted a series of questions to the MP - who enthusiastically took part in a question and answer session.
Issues raised by the group included policing, anti social behaviour, cleansing, highways and a medical centre for the town. Close to the group's heart was also the question of future funding for tenants and residents groups.
Currently the majority of the groups who form MATRA are core funded from the rents of Rochdale Boroughwide Housing Tenants. As more and more homes are sold MATRA has concerns about long term funding.
Shirley Kennedy, of RoFTRA (Rochdale Federation of Tenants and Residents Associations), said: "Tenants and Residents Associations work for the benefit of the whole of their communities."
"What MATRA would like to see is a fairer way of funding, and Mr Dobbin has said that he will put a written question to the House of Commons raising this issue."
Earlier in the evening, Jim and fellow judge Howard Gibbons, Middleton Shopping Centre Manager, had selected the winning entry in a competition that had taken place to find a logo for the group.
The winning entry was from a pupil of Middleton Technology School and a presentation of £100 worth of Staples vouchers is planned to take place early next month.

Facebook Bans White Nationalism, Separatism Content From Its Platforms
The company said these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups
Facebook announced Wednesday that it intends to ban content that glorifies white nationalism and separatism, a major policy shift that will begin next week.
"It's clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups and have no place on our services," the company said in a statement.
Facebook had already banned white supremacy but it left a loophole which civil rights groups said promoted racism and hate. The company said it had allowed expressions of white nationalism and separatism "because we were thinking about broader concepts of nationalism and separatism – things like American pride."

May I offer….
AGE: Main Piece - C.1920 or so - Art Deco Period; Ribbon C.1950 Rayon: Die Cut C.1980
ITEM: An upcycled crib protector medal or pendant that would have been placed on or near the crib of a newborn. The piece would have been presented at the time of the arrival of the child and is meant to protect the newborn against evil, in the terms of the Catholic Church, against the Devil and his minions. Originally having a center image of Saint Therese, the center medal was too worn to be kept so I repurposed the piece by adding a reproduction die cut of an angel. I have added a short length of pink ribbon (for a girl) but I can change the color of the ribbon and change it to a lengthier piece so that the medal can be worn as a necklace!
HISTORY: A crib protector could take many shapes, sizes and designs. The finest of these pieces would have been hand carved from the stuff we aren't even supposed to mention (from Dieppe) - those pieces usually took the form of a cross with the head of an angel at the center. Many a crib protector was tossed aside when the angel/cherub head was detached from the cross and turned into a pin or pendant! Since only the wealthy could afford it, or for that matter, crib protectors of gold or silver, the middle class made do with simpler materials - celluloid/hard plastic being one of them.
CONDITION: You can tell the piece is old just by looking. General surface handling is apparent but there are no burns, brown spots, etc. A copper colored star at the back hides the old "screw" spot.
SIZE: From top of celluloid ring to bottom measures 3"; width of the medal is 1-7/8".
FINAL COMMENTS: As I say above, leave as is or do your thing! This is a piece of French History that would make a delightful ornament!
Sorry, my pics are so diffuse - the graphic of the angel is quite crisp and perfect!
There are no reviews for this item. Be the first to review it!

The tenth anniversary of September 11 is not funny.
There is no kind of snarky remark I could make about this that would be worth making. It is a shattering memory.
At the time that it happened, I didn't have cable. It was only years later that I saw the video images. I did, however, hear the voices of people in the street, played unedited on KPFA. It filled me with grief. And, in that, moment, I felt connected with every human being who has ever witnessed the thoughtless terrorism of war.
The event fit neatly into an impression on my soul already left by something I had seen when I was nine or ten, peering undetected into a room where adults watched television; a documentary on Hiroshima, an animation, wherein a child was left clutching a mother's hand, off of which skin fell like a cast off shell, a baby bathing who was suddenly and instantly distorted into a grotesque creature with its eyeball falling out of its socket. Melting. People. Melting. The animation began with an image of children pointing at an airplane overhead, the way children do.
For years, every airplane overhead called to mind the thought of nuclear annihilation. I was confronted viscerally by a horror and evil I had never been able to fully imagine before.
And, on September 11, 2001, I was again in the presence of horror and evil. It occurred to me then, with a deep sadness, that this kind of horror unites anyone in the world struck by the misfortune to live through its occurring.
It makes me deeply, deeply sad about being human, and at the same time, moved by my own experience of compassion.
What else can you say? What else is there to say?
Here is poem by my mother, the inimitable Bronwyn "B" Gordon:
So sure of the necessity,
The people who order these deaths;
All the horrified Japanese women,
All the terrified Vietnamese children,
Running and burning, burning and dissolving
Into charcoal silhouettes, into ash...
And the people in the North Tower,
And the people in the South Tower,
Pragmatically and ideologically speaking --
In the righteous minds of the powerful,
All necessary deaths.

If you have an automatic garage door, you expect it to operate properly each time you push the button on your remote control. Unfortunately, that's not always the case, especially if it's in need of servicing. It's a good idea to have your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Proper maintenance can help ensure that your garage door doesn't malfunction. In addition to the professional care, there are some things you can do to keep your garage door operating smoothly. Here's a list of some minor issues you can take care of.
Garage Door Doesn't Close All The Way
If your garage door refuses to close all the way, there may be a problem with the sensors. This is especially true if the door closes to a certain point and then reverses itself. Take a look at the sensors that are located on the tracks about 6" off the ground. Both sensors must be aligned or the door will not close properly. Carefully move one sensor until the beam is directed at the opposite sensor. Continue adjusting the sensors until your door closes properly.
Garage Door Slips on the Tracks
If you notice that the door slips as it's moving along the tracks, you may have a buildup of dirt and debris on the tracks. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a cup of laundry detergent. Use a sponge or rag to wash the tracks. This will remove any dirt that is preventing your door from running smoothly along the tracks. It's a good idea to wash the tracks at least once every six months to keep them clean.
Garage Door Often Jams
If your garage door appears to be getting stuck at the same place each time, there may be a problem with the tracks. Inspect the tracks for signs of damage. Pay particular attention to the joints. You may have loose or missing bolts that will need to be replaced. If you find areas that are bent or damaged, you should contact your repair technician. Those areas may need to be replaced. Once you've tightened the bolts and repaired the damage, test your door to ensure that it's operating properly.
To keep your garage door operating smoothly, be sure to have it professionally serviced at least once a year. In addition, you should watch out for the problems that are listed above. Taking care of simple maintenance issues can help keep your garage door opening and closing the way that it should. For more information, see http://www.raynordoor.com.Share

Now the movie "The Butler" will be fooling many people. I was planning on boycotting the movie anyway as Jane Fonda, who plays Nancy Reagan, has never apologized in a sincere way for siding with the enemy against the United States during the Viet Nam War. Now we find out that there are historically inaccurate depictions in the movie "The Butler," especially about Ronald Reagan. Here is what Michael Reagan wrote: http://townhall.com/columnists/michaelreagan/2013/08/22/the-butler-from-another-planet-n1670773/page/full
The same person who indicted Sarah Palin and others in other movies wrote the screenplay.
The same person who indicted Sarah Palin and others in other movies wrote the screenplay.
But then I remembered Psalm 73:1 Surely God is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart! 2 But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped. 3 For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no pains in their death, And their body is fat. 5 They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like mankind. 6 Therefore pride is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them. 7 Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot. 8 They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high. 9 They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return to this place, And waters of abundance are drunk by them. 11 They say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge with the Most High?" 12 Behold, these are the wicked; And always at ease, they have increased in wealth. 13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure And washed my hands in innocence; 14 For I have been stricken all day long And chastened every morning. 15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children. 16 When I pondered to understand this, It was troublesome in my sight 17 Until I came into the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end. 18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. 19 How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors ! 20 Like a dream when one awakes, O Lord, when aroused, You will despise their form. 21 When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within, 22 Then I was senseless and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. 23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand. 24With Your counsel You will guide me, And afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. 26 My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. 27 For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You. 28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works.

I like out-of-tree builds. Out-of-tree builds are nice for lots of reasons. You
can have multiple builds of the same project coexisting side-by-side – for
example a debug build for development, a release build, and an instrumented
build for code coverage runs. All the generated build artifacts are together
underneath one directory which you can easily delete without having to maintain
make clean target, or place under
.gitignore without having to maintain a
growing set of patterns for the different kinds of artifacts. I was going to
write a post about this, but came across
this one by Jussi Pakkanen which covers a lot of the
ground I would have, so I'll just link to it here.
Instead, this post is about an issue that arises when implementing out-of-tree builds in make, and the best approach I've found for dealing with it.
Let's say we have a hypothetical source tree like this with source files nested in different directories:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
We'd like our build directory to mirror this structure, like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
The build system needs to ensure that each subdirectory within the build directory exists before we compile the source files inside it. We'd like to write our makefile to achieve this in a nice way that won't require too much maintenance as our project grows. Here's a first attempt:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
$(@D) is an automatic variable which expands to the directory part
of the target path. If we run
make program, we get this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
This does what we want, but it's a bit awkward. One issue is that in
incremental builds, the
mkdir steps will be run again, even though the
directories definitely exist:
1 2 3 4 5 6
For this reason, we should instead modify the rule for object files to specify the target directory as a prerequisite. In particular, creating directories like this is the typical use case for order-only prerequisites. So we'd like to write something like this:
1 2
One issue here is that automatic variables can't be used within prerequisite
lists, so that
$(@D) will expand to nothing. That is easily fixed by enabling
secondary expansion, which is a feature of make whereby the prerequisite
list is expanded twice, and the second time around, automatic variables are in
scope. That looks like this:
1 2 3 4
We escape the
$(@D) reference so that we expand it only during the second expansion.
The next issue with this approach is that there now need to be targets for each
directory that we'll need (
build/util, and
build/foo/bar). We definitely
don't want to write these out manually:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
One option is to define a template and evaluate it for each object file:
1 2 3 4 5 6
This is a bit hairy – we call
$(dir $(OBJS)) to extract the directory part
of each object path, and then call
$(sort) to filter out duplicates, because
we don't want to define multiple rules for the same directory if there are
multiple files in it. Then we evaluate the template for each directory we end
up with, defining a target for each.
This does everything we want and works correctly with incremental builds. It's
good enough for this toy example because we have this handy
$(OBJS) variable
that has all of our targets in it, so we can do this once and forget about it.
In more complicated projects, we may have many different kinds of targets
defined in many different places, such that making sure we evaluate this
template for all of them is a maintenance burden.
What would be nicer is to define a pattern rule in order to match any directory. There isn't really a way to do this for real, but we can cheat a bit by defining a naming convention; we'll make sure to always use a trailing slash when referring to a directory. Then we can write this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
We need both the first and second targets because the
% in a pattern rule
won't match an empty string. And for reasons I don't fully understand, make
seems to treat the directories as intermediate files and tries to delete them
(unsuccessfully, since they're not empty) after the build is done, so we mark
both targets as
.PRECIOUS to get around this. But that's all we ever need –
as we grow our project and add new build rules for different kinds of
artifacts, everything will work as expected as long as we specify
$$(@D)/ as
an order-only prerequisite for every target.
One last little snag is that this doesn't work in make 3.81. There, the trailing slash in the prerequisite is apparently ignored, so our pattern rule doesn't match. For historical reasons, 3.81 was quite a long-lived release of make and is the default version of make available in many Linux distributions, as well as the version that ships with OS X, so we may want to support it.
We can work around the make 3.81 behavior by changing our naming convention to
also include a trailing
.. While this looks a bit funny, it doesn't change
the path being referred to, and make 3.81 won't strip it out. So our final
Makefile looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

The big issue facing common unit holders of Linn Energy is the over-extended financial structure of the business, i.e. financial leverage. While Linn Energy is well hedged with favorable $90 oil derivative contracts for the next several years of production, the reassessment of the value of its proven reserves is expected to severely stress its financing capacity in the very near future. In addition, even with the hedge program, the drop in oil price will still place a burden on cash flow to pay distributions while continuing to maintain a steady capital expansion program. If drilling is constrained for any period of time at Linn Energy, the current high oil production rate will decline rapidly given the characteristics of the proven undeveloped reserves that Linn Energy owns (light oil, high concentration of NGL and Natural Gas). The cost structure of the company makes the oil production "cliff" a particularly onerous problem. Based on an assessment of the financial position of the company contained in this article, investors should expect a radical down-sizing, or even complete elimination of the $.24 monthly distribution level which is currently a 28.76% yield.

Linn Energy: A Shale Play Challenged at $55 Oil
Linn Energy (LINE) (LNCO) traded closed below $10 a unit on December 15, 2014, marking both a 52 week low, and lows not experienced since the December 2008 financial crisis. During the 2008 crisis, oil reached a bottom in the $35 range, whereas currently we are just reaching the $55 per barrel range. Why is the panic so much more acute today than the time period politically labeled as the "Greatest Recession since the Great Depression?" Are we entering an even bigger Depression? That question I may have an opinion, but will not attempt to answer in this article. What I will provide readers is a clear nuts and bolts view of why there is a run on the Linn Energy units, and why as the market approaches $55 oil per barrel on the front-end of the curve, the investor sentiment is warranted.

SandRidge Permian Trust – Struck by the Saudi Oil Shock
On October 30th SandRidge Permian Trust (PER) announced its quarterly distribution for production during the time period of June through August 2014. During the summer the energy market showed high oil prices throughout that benefited the Permian Trust which has 86% its production in crude oil. The spread between WTI and WTS crude oil widened during the quarter causing a slight decline in price level realized by the Trust.
The distribution announcement was greeted with a rally in the market as the units traded up from $9.50 to $9.93 per unit on the day after the press release. However, the information released may not have been the primary factor in share price movement during the day. On Halloween the entire market experienced what is being reported by experts as a massive global shortcovering rally because of the announced changes in Japan monetary policy and pension fund allocation. The unit price movement in Permian Trust units in the five day period leading up to the announcement was probably more indicative of the change in short-term sentiment about the Trust units, rising from $9.00 to the most recent $9.93 closing price on October 31st.

Stocks Post QE3 - Pay Attention to this Data
For years the Fed Funds rate has been the sacred measure that investors followed to determine if the Federal Reserve was promoting and accommodative or restrictive policy. Fed rate hikes were a signal that the market was a little too juiced on the punch, and margin calls or a reduction in lending in the market was considered prudent.
What about today? The Fed Funds rate has been at 0% since December 2008 yielding the rate meaningless in understanding just how Fed policy is influencing the financial markets, much less the economy as a whole. I separate the stock market from the economy because increasingly, and particularly since the new Fed policy of using excessive amounts of QE as a tool in its policy, the two have diverged in correlation. In fact, from a pure numbers standpoint, it can be argued that over the last 6 years, Fed policy has been an outstanding success in pumping up the stock market. Stocks have risen from the depths of 666 on the S&P500 to over 2000. Economic growth, however, has struggled to exceed 2% in real terms, and 3%-4% nominally.
The Fed has announced that it will now end for the foreseeable future, its bond buying program known as QE3 in the market (the program followed QE1 in early 2009 and QE2 in early 2011). Stocks went progressively higher with QE as a backstop. With the QE program ending for the time being, will the stock market suffer from the change? Logically given the correlation one might suspect trouble; but what indicators should an investor monitor?
The answer to these questions is completely up to what happens to the bubble the Fed has created on its balance sheet, and correspondingly the high level of excess liquidity that it has created within the U.S. banking system. One such indicator that is likely to become useful in the post QE3 distorted financial market is the level of excess reserves in the U.S. banking system. (Excess Reserves of Depository Institutions)

Investors Beware, U.S. Fiscal Spending Shift Coming
As we approach the 2014 mid-term elections, U.S. fiscal policy is an economic headwind without any apparent current political movement to change. The relatively tight policy as measured by rate of growth is a counter inflationary force foremost, but also potentially slows down economic growth. You can see the evidence that the present fiscal policy is currently tight by reviewing the August 2014 year over year fiscal expenditure growth rate compared to previous years when the stock market peaked.
This data is surprising to many investors because they are so accustomed to hearing how Washington is out of control from a spending standpoint. The data, however, is actually pointing in a different direction presently.

Lending Activity Heats Up – Should Stock Investors Worry?
One aspect of the recent U.S. economic growth not widely recognized is that it is being fueled by renewed high levels of debt being taken on by consumers, businesses and investors. Unsustainable debt levels are notorious for derailing GDP growth. This phenomenon was evident prior to the last two stock market peaks, and the risk has returned to the U.S. market once again.
If you review the statistics shown in the table below, you will see that just like 2000 and 2007, debt levels in 2014 have risen to warning zone levels relative to the size of the U.S economy (red = historically high, yellow = approaching historical high levels).

Stocks Expensive, Force Building to Knock Bull Down
Many articles have been released in the media in recent weeks concerning whether the stock market is over-valued or "very expensive" and may be approaching a peak. One highly regarded researcher is Robert Schiller, who in August of 2014 was interviewed by many media outlets concerning the high level of the CAPE Ratio (cyclically adjusted P/E) to give his views. Using this analytical approach he notes, "The United States stock market looks very expensive right now."
I take a slightly different approach to look at the relative value of stocks compared to historical norms, but reach the same conclusion as Dr. Schiller. The analysis, as summarized in the graph below, simply looks at the ratio of the traded value of the DOW relative to the nominal GDP (stated in billions) during the same time period. Most recently the U.S. nominal GDP was just over $17.3 Trillion, and the DOW was trading at 17,098 at the end of August giving a ratio of .98.
The ratio is functionally useful in highlighting periods when the market is in outlier territory. Presently, the stock market indices (DIA) (SPY) (QQQ) by relative measure are expensive. However, history has demonstrated stocks can trade at these levels for extended periods before a steep correction occurs. Since the 1990s, expensive in relative terms is a necessary but not sufficient reason for a major decline. Saying stocks are expensive is different from trying to assess whether they are at a peak, and a portfolio adjustment toward higher liquidity and lower risk is a good play.
What is the likelihood that the S&P500 at 2000 is a peak?

Trend in U.S. Treasury Ownership Highlights Precarious Fed Rate Policy
Fed policy continues to be aggressively accommodative going into year-end 2014, even as it is projecting a wind down of the massive $1.54T QE program begun in January of 2013.
The easiest way to see the market rate impact of the Fed's QE program and ZIRP (zero interest rate) policy is to review the current Treasury yield curve. As the above graph shows, the current yield curve is

Watch Out for the Stock Buy-Back Taper
Back in the year 2000 I got a call from a broker wanting me to take a look at particular large cap financial stock. The pitch was "the company has lagged its peer group, but it has announced a major share re-purchase program." I asked what the company plans were for growth. Awkward silence was evident on the other end of the line. I then said, "So you are asking me to buy-out certain shareholders who don't want to own the company anymore because the management team is struggling to find ways to invest?" Needless to say, I did not invest in the company. But I did follow it. Sure enough it did rise in the following months, only to be cut in half within the next 2 years.
I tell this story because I have always been wary of common stock buy-back plans. Not because they are all bad. Many companies have a disciplined approach of returning capital through this process rather than paying dividends. However, when the buy-backs are not backed up by fundamental growth in the company, they turn into little more than the company entering the debt market to finance dividends, or worse, robbing from needed capital investment to maintain future cash flow.

Quantitative Easing – Is it Inflationary or Deflationary?
On May 15, 2014 the CPI index was published in the U.S. which showed general price increases as measured by the BLS were a meager 2% annually. This was after a year of massive bond buying by the Federal Reserve. During the same year over year period, the Fed added $1.162 Trillion dollars of liquidity into the worldwide economy.
What exactly is going on? The population has been led to believe that when the Federal Reserve "prints" money, the economic result is inflation. Chances are that the current path taken will result in a similar outcome. However, if you are looking at the present financial market and believe the Fed may have found the Golden bullet on how to tame inflation – simply lower interest rates to zero percent and flood the market with cash – think again. Why? It is actually very simple. It depends on where all the cash, goes. And eventually, the Fed is not in total control of where the excess money goes.

Nervous Investors Move to Bonds just like Belgium?
I have run across data that belongs in the category of strange and unusual in the May 15th publication of the TIC data (Treasury International Capital Report).
The strange aspect of the data is that in the published figures, the tiny country of Belgium with a GDP of only $509B, somehow managed to purchase $40.2B in Treasury securities in the month of March. The purchases follow a six month barrage of purchases by Belgium in which $214.6B in Treasuries were added to security accounts held in the country.

Theory of Financial Relativity: Powerful New Book Helps Protect Investments, Exposing Framework for Predicting Market Trends.
Masterfully crafted by investment guru Daniel Moore, 'Theory of Financial Relativity' explains why financial markets suddenly change course and how these changes can be predicted. By meticulously studying U.S. financial markets from WWII to the present day, Moore has uncovered fourteen market corrections that display a predictable pattern of change. Sharing this information with the public for the first time, Moore's work is poised to help millions protect their investments and take advantage of their movements for success.
For Immediate Release
Durham, NC –Both consumers and critics traditionally treat U.S. financial markets as a volatile and unpredictable world that could drastically change direction at a moment's notice. While this theory holds a shred of truth, a powerful new book exposes the previously unknown and systematic pattern of 'ups and downs' that can actually help investors predict when a bull will become a bear.
Everything is showcased in 'Theory of Financial Relativity' by Daniel Moore. Hailed as "the most interesting man in the financial world," Moore has spent hundreds of hours combing over seventy years worth of market trends to expose a game-changing and predictable pattern.

Fed Cornered by QE Program – Reverse Repo Path Being Considered
In Fed Chair Janet Yellen's testimony to the Senate Banking committee on May 7, 2014 there were many questions about when the Fed would "normalize" its interest rate policy, specifically the Fed Funds rate. She stuck to the party line, saying it is expected to be a "considerable time" before the Fed will raise short term interest rates. When pressed for a definition of "considerable", she did a political dance and left the definition to "it depends on economic circumstances". In other words, it depends on what will do the least amount of damage to the political party in charge.
One path to actually raise interest rates, but escape the consequences that raising the Fed Funds rate entails, is to use a technique known as the Reverse Repo. The "experiment" that the Fed is currently actively

Market Winds are Shifting – Time to Assess the Signals
On Friday, May 2nd the April jobs report was published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showing that 288,000 new non-farm payroll jobs were created in the month. It was the strongest month to month growth since January of 2012. In addition the unemployment rate fell to 6.3%, with 138.252 million people estimated to be employed during the month. This is the highest total number of employed people since March of 2008 and is on the verge of becoming an all-time high in terms of total employment.
The information was published a day after both the DOW and S&P500 (DIA) (SPY) set new all-time highs. The immediate response by the market when the jobs information was released was a jump higher. However, by mid-day the market was slightly down, seemingly unimpressed by the job figures, and ended the day on a down tick. Why? Research has shown that while jobs are of course an important economic indicator, they are always a trailing indicator. Anyone trading stocks on the jobs report is searching for fool's gold. The more important aspect of the jobs report is whether the data causes an unexpected change in the expected direction of market influential factors that do impact stock valuations.

Emerging Market Debt Options to Hedge Fed Taper and Stock Volatility
Managing money in the current financial market is beginning to resemble the game of musical chairs I played years ago in grade school. Last year, at virtually the same moment in the year, the market "forces" decided that the music would stop and the debt market, primarily the longer duration bond market as well as high dividend paying stocks such as utilities (VPU), telecom (VZ) (T) and REITs (VNQ), would not have a seat at the table. Municipal bonds (MUB) last summer were also ostracized from the game, with the fears of bankruptcies in Detroit and Puerto Rico looming large and investors warned to stay away as the market was far too risky for entry.
Since the beginning of 2014, however, the music has been noticeably different.

The T-Bond (TLT) (TLH) (IEF) route moved the 10 year from around 2% in early 2013 to a high touching 3% precisely at year end. The longer duration securities such as the 30 year also traded down in value, up in yield in 2013, about 90 basis points to end the year at almost 4%. All the related interest-sensitive markets were beaten into submission going into year end. Opportunities for savvy income investors were plentiful – for a brief moment.
Market Dancing to a Different Tune in 2014

Camp on Valley River
Sept. 16, 1861
My Dear Miss Louisa1
With a heart filled with grief I have to communicate the saddest tidings you have ever heard.
May 'Our Father who is in Heaven' enable you to bear it, for in His inscrutable providence, abounding in mercy and omnipotent in power, He has made you father-less on earth. Your dear father, in reconnoitering the enemy's position, came into the range of the fire of his pickets and was instantly killed. He fell in the cause to which he had devoted all his energies, and in which his noble heart was earnestly enlisted. My intimate association with him for some months has more fully disclosed to me his great worth, than double so many years of ordinary intercourse would have been sufficient to reveal. We have shared the same tent, and morning and evening has his earnest devotion to Almighty God elicited my grateful admiration. He is now safely in heaven—I trust with her he so loved on earth. We ought not to wish him back.
May God in His mercy, my dear child, sustain you, your sisters and brothers under this heavy affliction, my own grief is so great. I will not afflict you further with it.
Faithfully your friend,
R E Lee

Rack 'n Roll
Rack 'n Roll is the game for the 2007 FIRST Robotics Competition season, announced on January 6, 2007. In it, two alliances of three teams each compete to arrange toroidal game pieces on a central arena element known as 'The Rack'. The Rack 'n Roll field is dominated by 'The Rack', a large metal contraption with three levels of hanging metal bars, with each level having 8 arms evenly spaced in an octagonal manner. Each arm (known as a 'spider leg') has space for two game pieces. Any more pieces placed on a spider leg beyond the first two are ignored for scoring purposes. At the beginning of the match, the rack is arbitrarily translated or rotated within three feet of the center of the field in order to give some randomness and to encourage autonomous modes that do not depend on dead-reckoning. At the top of the Rack are four green-colored lights above the 1, 3, 5, and 7 legs to aid in autonomous-mode tracking. Each match of Rack 'n Roll is 2 minutes 15 seconds long, divided into three segments. The first segment is a 15 second autonomous period, where robots may attempt to place keepers onto the rack without human input. Once autonomous mode is complete, any keepers not already on the rack are no longer valid for scoring. The second segment, the teleoperated mode, is 2 minutes long, during which robots are operated by the drivers and may roam anywhere on the field. In the final 15 seconds, the end game, robots may not enter their opponent's end zone, but all other rules remain the same from the teleoperated period. Though the head referee may pause the game between the autonomous period and the teleoperated period, the end game follows directly after the teleoperated period.

Our solution to Rack 'n Roll used a 3-stage lift and two foldout ramps for the endgame. Learn more about Spidermonkey here.

KANSAS METROPOLIS, Mo. – States are bracing for plummeting highschool graduation rates as districts nationwide dump flawed measurement formulation that always undercounted dropouts and produced inflated results. 4 college students have made it to the final of World Skills UK. Below new state academic tips, this time-honored school challenge may be on its method out…. After being filmed for a whole time period, students at a Sheffield college have appeared in a CBBC documentary collection which first aired this week.
The state covers a smaller proportion of its costs than it used to, and the variety of college students who need to attend retains growing — with demand significantly excessive for certain in style campuses and programs. Mother and father, and academics both should encourage college students to take eager interest in sports and mustn't insist on their being misplaced of their books.

The world of business and competition for customers keeps changing as society changes. Each business owner needs to decide whether they will change with the trends or buck them. A small local business that gets business with an ad in the local paper and word of mouth has a limited customer base. If they are happy with that amount of business, they may choose to forgo internet advertising. Businesses who want to grow and expand their customer base to other areas of the community, state, or country must find the best ways to do so.
This has become a society that relies more and more on the internet to find products and services they will use. There are businesses very large to very small that have kept up with this modern trend and grown, and there are those businesses of all sizes who have failed to keep up with the new shopping trends and are in trouble or have even failed. There are huge retail shopping chains closing hundreds of stores around the country because of internet shopping competition. This does not need to be the case.,
Surviving and Growing Using The Internet
There are thousands of businesses across the United States that have modernized their businesses to survive and grow. Some have had great success and some have not. The key is to get marketing help from the beginning of the modernization process. Don't put up a do-it-yourself or inexpensive website and expect instant results. Websites must be well designed and easy for the viewer to find and use. They must be built using the right words and phrases to get into search engines people use to find services and products. Once the website is coming up on the best search engines, it must grab the potential customer's attention and keep it. It must tell a compelling story about the company and its products. It must make it possible for customers to contact the company and find additional information about different products and to order them.
How To Tell If That Website Is Working Well?
There are analytic computer and internet programs such as Google Analytics to download that collect data and analyze it to tell business owners how their websites and internet marketing programs are doing. Google Analytics Solutions can improve the company's customer's experience on the website. This can translate into more business. Not only that but the analytic program can give the business owner a better understanding of customer experience, website impact, and website usefulness. These analytic programs can even tell a business things that should be done to improve the impact of their websites. Companies that employ an IT person or company to create, maintain, and improve their websites as needed are ahead of the game compared to businesses who do not put the proper amount of effort into their websites.
It is not too late to seek help with internet marketing design and tools. A business owner can contact companies such as Google Analytics Strategy Denver offices to start the improvement process. Denver Google Analytics Strategy can work to correct deficiencies and improve a company's website and marketing program. This whole process starts with using the best analytic tools to download. Once the analysis is completed, the experts will have a more complete picture of the company's content, products, and more. Even business people who want to go it alone can get help by connecting to Google media and publisher products such as Google digital analytics. They can follow the download instructions and the tutorials on how to benefit from the information gathered by the programs. For more information, go to the website.

Risk Factors for Adult-Onset Brain Tumors
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00592865
Recruitment Status : Terminated
First Posted : January 14, 2008

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Study Objective:
Brain tumors are poorly understood. The purpose of this research is to examine whether factors in lifestyle play a role in brain tumor development. The study will also investigate the contribution of inherited susceptibility to the risk of brain cancer. By gaining a better understanding of these influences, the investigators hope to learn how to prevent brain tumors in future generations, and to develop more effective strategies for treatment.
Study Protocol:
This is a case-control investigation. Persons affected with a brain tumor are compared to unaffected persons on previous medical history, diet and other factors. Those enrolled in the study will participate in an interview on general background, diet, medical history and lifestyle, and will provide a sample of DNA, clippings of your toenails, and a tap water sample from your home. All procedures are performed in the clinic or through the mail.
'Cases': Cases eligible for the study are persons with a recent diagnosis of a primary brain tumor (glioma or meningioma), at least 18 years of age.
'Controls': Controls in the study are non-family members of patients, similar in age and of the same gender. Suitable controls include in-laws, friends, neighbors and co-workers.
|Condition or disease
|Brain Neoplasm, Primary Brain Neoplasms, Malignant Brain Neoplasms, Benign
Primary Objective:
The primary objective of this research is to establish a clinic-based case-control study for examination of potential risk factors for primary adult brain tumors. After assembling a series of 1,500 cases and 3,000 controls, investigators will test current hypotheses on ge-netic and environmental risk factors for the occurrence of these tumors.
In this case-control study, persons with a recent diagnosis (within 4 months) of a primary brain tumor will be identified in the neurology/neurosurgery clinics at major treatment referral centers in the Southeast. Non-blood related relatives (eg. in-laws), friends or other persons will be recruited as controls. Names and contact information of eligible controls will be ascertained from patients. A total of 1,500 cases and 3,000 controls will be enrolled over the course of the 5-year study. All enrolled subjects will complete a one hour interview on lifestyle, environmental exposures, diet, physical activity, tobacco use and medical history. They will also be asked to provide a DNA sample, a water sample and a toenail sample (from each great toe). At the end of data collection, lifestyles and genetic attributes will be compared in cases and controls to identify any differences that may be relevant to the causation of disease. Because the study will recruit patients near the time of disease diagnosis, full enrollment should be possible. In addition, high re-sponse rates are anticipated among the controls. Thus, with the large numbers of patients available and high anticipated response rates, the study offers a unique opportunity to successfully identify environmental and genetic risk factors for this uncommon form of cancer.

Bo'ness United's long-laid plan to play on a new 3G surface at Newtown Park next season is over, after the discovery of an underground mine entry/shaft at the ground.
At the club AGM on Wednesday night, it was announced that the project – involving digging up the existing grass pitch before laying the artificial one – has been shelved and won't now start until May 2019.
BUs coach Keith Hogg told the Bo'ness Journal: "This is a setback in relation to how we want to progress as a community club.
"I feel sorry for all the people involved in the hard work which has taken place between the club and the community to get to this stage, which has been phenomenal.
"They have worked tirelessly to get the funding in place.
"Finding a mine shaft in a village like Bo'ness was always a possibility.
"It would have been fantastic to play on this new pitch as we enter the East of Scotland League at the start of next season, but we will progress as we are.
"The players started training on the grass pitch last Thursday and are happy enough to keep playing on it.
"Hopefully, we can get the pitch up to the standard it has been in years gone by.
"We are really looking forward to the start of the new season. It will be a new challenge in a new league."
As reported previously in this newspaper, the mine entry/shaft – closed pre-1920 – was found during a visit by inspectors earlier this summer.
The timing of the discovery could hardly have been worse for the BUs, as they prepare for life as a newly-registered Conference B side after quitting the junior ranks at the end of last season.
