T-Mobile and Verizon claim to have a 4G network, but Sprint thinks their WiMAX network is the only true 4G network. The funny thing is none of these networks meets the actual definition of 4G as defined by the ITU's Radiocommunication Sector, but the #4Gwars have already begun and there is no turning back now.
Sprint is expanding their 4G WiMAX network to Los Angeles and they posted a quick YouTube video to promote the faster speeds they are offering. In the clip Michael Galluccio, Sprint Sales Manager New York Metro, says that "Other carriers might claim to have a 4G network, but right now Sprint is the only national carrier with a true 4G network."
Mr. Galluccio continued to explain why Sprint had the best network. "How well it works depends on the size of your pipe. Fortunately, Sprint has a big pipe".
T-Mobile is advertising they have the largest 4G network and Verizon says they have the fastest 4G network, but I'm not sure what Sprint's claim to fame is. Maybe they should start marketing America's Biggest 4G Pipe or America's Favorite 4G Phone – the HTC EVO 4G.
I've heard some crazy rumors that some consumer advocacy groups are already planning class-action lawsuits against some of these carriers over their "false advertising of operating a 4G network", but nothing has been filed yet. I admit the term "4G" is starting to get a little confusing with carriers using so many types of technologies (HSPA+, LTE, and WiMAX), but what else do you suggest they to do? Should we be forced to call them 4G LTE, 4G WiMAX, and 4G HSPA+?
Should the carriers keep pushing their 4G message? Does it help anyone if the courts force them to remove 4G from their advertising and go back to 3G? Whatever happens, I'm loving the "4G speeds" on my new T-Mobile G2 and I'm sure we have a lot of satisfied readers who are quite happy with Sprint 4G as well.

Edwards on pole in Phoenix, as open wheel stars steal the show
by Greg Cozzo
Avondale, AZ – While Carl Edwards drove to his first Bud Pole of 2007 at Phoenix International Raceway in preparation for the Checker Auto Parts 500 presented by Pennzoil, he also joined in on the discussion about the impressive start to the weekend by Open Wheel stars Jacque Villeneuve, Patrick Carpentier and Sam Hornish Jr.
Edwards piloted his Office Depot / Roush – Fenway Ford Fusion COT machine around the unique 1 mile Raceway with a lap of 27.114, just nudging Martin Truex's Bass Pro Shops #1 by 0.003.
Jeff Gordon, who won the spring race in Arizona, and first to win from the pole in the COT car, will launch off third. He starts three spots ahead of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup points leader Jimmie Johnson (6th). With only this race and Homestead remaining, every position counts, especially on a tight one mile track like Phoenix:
"There are still a lot of things we're working on when it
comes to the COT. Performance-wise, I think we have a little bit of an
advantage over the 48 team (at Phoenix)," Gordon said.

The State Department is praising a grass-roots social media campaign that is putting a spotlight on the elusive African warlord Joseph Kony and his heinous Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
But at the same time, US diplomats (and in some cases, their African counterparts) want the mostly young people who are suddenly caught up in the get-Kony cyber phenomenon to know this: The US government, central African governments, and numerous nongovernmental organizations have been working for some time to stop Mr. Kony and to address the needs of his victims, from escaped child soldiers to mutilated villagers.
"Certainly we appreciate the efforts of the group Invisible Children to shine a light on the horrible atrocities of the LRA," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, speaking to reporters Thursday.
But she also added, "As you know, there are neighboring states, there are NGO groups who have been working on this problem for decades." Moreover, she said, the United States has been "very much involved" through support to the countries of East and central Africa where Kony's army roams and pillages – in particular since last October, when President Obama ordered the dispatching of 100 special forces advisers to assist in the effort to bring down the LRA.
Ms. Nuland's remarks reflected a bit of the amazement – and yes, frustration – that diplomats from Washington to Kampala, Uganda, have felt at seeing how a half-hour-long video posted on YouTube Monday has alerted millions of young people. It's an issue that governments have struggled for years to expose and address.
The video, "Kony 2012," the work of American Jason Russell and his Invisible Children organization, has logged more than 50 million views on YouTube and other video sites.
Nuland praised how the video is raising awareness about Kony and the LRA, saying that "hundreds of thousands of people around the world, especially young people, have been mobilized to express concern" for the people of central Africa who have been Kony's prey.
She noted that, like many parents across America this week, State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner learned about the video when his middle-schooler showed it to him.
The State Department, which under Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has increased efforts to employ social media in US public-diplomacy efforts, supports initiatives like the Kony video, Nuland said. "The degree to which this YouTube video ... increase[s] awareness" is helpful she said, even as she expressed a desire to see that greater awareness "increase support for the work that governments are doing, including our own government."
Officials in Uganda, where the video is set, are also lauding the exposure of Kony and his horrendous deeds – even as they chide the videomaker for focusing on Uganda, where the LRA was chased out years ago.
"All this hoopla about Kony and his murderous activities is good in a sense that it helps inform those who don't know the monster that Kony is," Felix Kulayigye, Uganda's Defense Ministry spokesman, told Reuters Friday. "But of course this is too late," he added. The LRA was driven out of northern Uganda in 2005.
Kony and the LRA are now thought to be in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo, where villagers in the dense forest that Kony prefers reported last month a string of telltale raids involving mutilations, theft, and abductions of children – boys to be soldiers, girls to be sex slaves.
The US troops are operating from a base in the Central African Republic and are advising the armies of a number of countries. But they're not taking part in any raids themselves. Ugandan forces are thought to be the most capable in a campaign that ranges over a large swath of rugged and inaccessible terrain, regional analysts say. But they note that the Ugandan military is barred from entering Congo.
One goal of the Kony video appears to be to preempt any thoughts Mr. Obama might be having of bringing the 100 military advisers home.
Some experts who praise the attention the video is heaping on the issue wonder if it might end up a flash in the pan. They note that books have been written about Kony and investigative reports have aired, but the awareness ultimately died down.
Of course it's not clear that those efforts reached anything close to 50 million cyber citizens – and counting.

New Canaan softball edges Ludlowe to reach FCIAC final for first time
FAIRFIELD -- The road started eight years ago, when six highly touted softball players became teammates for the first time on the New Canaan Storm 10-and-under squad.
On Tuesday afternoon, with a little help -- some of it unexpected -- from their friends, the group carried their high school program to a new level.
Ironically, it was a pair of juniors who assumed the headlining roles as New Canaan reached the FCIAC championship game for the first time following a 1-0 win over Fairfield Ludlowe at Sacred Heart University.
Ali Reilly, who has shared the pitching duties this season with Cydney Ventura, threw a brilliant five-hit shutout, while Rachel Kortman, in her first start of the year, drove in the winning run with a fifth-inning single, one of just three hits by the No. 6 Rams.
Asked if it was the best performance of her career, Reilly flashed a shy smile.
"I don't know about that, it was so hot," Reilly said. "Ludlowe did an excellent job. They hit me. I have a good team behind me."
The seventh-seeded Falcons (15-7) were limited to five singles. Reilly struck out seven and did not walk a batter. Just one runner reached second base.
"Ali hit her spots well," said New Canaan coach Danielle Simoneau. "There were a few oopsies. Against a team like Ludlowe, you want to hold the oppsies to a single. Ali loves to throw her curveball on the outside. Between her and Cyd you can't ask for anything better."
Reilly said the weather may have indirectly contributed to her success.
"There was a lot of adrenaline," she said. "It was hot, and there was motivation to get back in the dugout."
Reilly needed to be close to perfect, because she was nearly matched by the Falcons' Brigette Anderson, coming off a strong performance in relief the previous day against Westhill.
"I really like what Brigette did," Ludlowe coach Tony Samuelian said. "All I can say is she came through. The kid only pitched against some of the softer teams in the league. She is not fazed by anyone. She doesn't get rattled."
The difference on the day was provided by an unlikely hero. Reilly reached on an infield error. Claire Conley came in as the courtesy runner and promptly stole second. Anderson retired the next two hitters before Kortman singled to left for the game's only run.
"The No. 9 batter had four at-bats all season, which showed this was a team effort," said Simoneau, who altered her lineup for the postseason. "You rely on the team as a whole. Rachel got in and did an unbelievable job in rightfield."
Samuelian said he was impressed by Reilly's performance.
"She was moving it," Samuelian said. "And she probably throws very few straight fastballs. I just think she's dynamite."
The Rams (16-6) were flawless on defense, led by the seniors who have brought a sport that has taken a back seat to lacrosse, tennis, golf and baseball prominent in their town.
"They're leaving their legacy," said Simoneau, who pitched Westhill to the 1993 FCIAC title. "We left our huddle and said we had everything to gain and nothing to lose."

Nov. 3, 2006
Santa Clara, Calif. - The Santa Clara Broncos continued to prove that they are the class of the West Coast Conference Friday night as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over the University of Portland Pilots at Buck Shaw Stadium. The win stretches the Broncos unbeaten streak to nine games and moves their conference record to 8-1-2. Peter Lowry, Sean Danzeiser and Keith DeVey scored a goal apiece to lead the Broncos (12-3-4 overall) to the win. In goal Joseph Buttitta and Ari Zlotoff combined for the shutout, the team's eighth shutout of the year.
Right from the start of the match, the Broncos came out firing and they jumped into to the lead through Lowry in the 15th minute. Senior midfielder Erik Ustruck got free on the wing and then drove a cross into the heart of the penalty box for a waiting Lowry. The junior captain then one-timed a shot past Portland goalkeeper Luis Robles for a 1-0 advantage. The goal was Lowry's fifth of the season, which momentarily moved him into a tie with DeVey for the team lead.
SCU continued their strong play throughout the half, controlling the tempo and stretching out the Portland defense. While no more goals would come, the Broncos created seven corner kicks and fired six shots at the Portland net.
Just five minutes after halftime, Danzeiser gave Santa Clara a two-goal cushion with another great finish. Freshman Amaechi Igwe picked up a loose ball in midfield and eluded a defender before sending a long ball forward to Danzeiser. Danzeiser outran a defender and then softly chipped the ball over Robles and into the back of the net for his fourth goal of the year.
The goals continued to come as DeVey struck for his sixth goal of the year with an outstanding individual effort only six minutes after Danzeiser's goal. Igwe again set the play up by finding DeVey with a great ball in the box. However, DeVey had the ball stripped from him in the box by the Portland defense after a poor touch. Refusing to give up on the play, the senior forward stole the ball back and ripped a shot past a stunned Robles and into the upper corner. DeVey now has 20 career goals at Santa Clara putting him into a tie for eighth place all-time in program history.
Igwe nearly put the Broncos up 4-0 minutes later but Robles was there to make an incredible save to keep the deficit at three goals. Lowry set Igwe up with a through ball that put him in behind the defense. With Robles off his line, Igwe attempted to chip him from the edge of the 18-yard box, but Robles recovered to tip the ball over the bar.
Buttitta continued his great play in goal with a big save on Portland's Matthew Dallman in the 69th minute. Dallman got free on the right side and drove a shot to the far post, but Buttitta, who was named WCC Player of the Month on Friday, dove to his right to make the save and preserve the shutout.
Santa Clara concludes the regular season on Sunday, Nov. 5 with a match against Gonzaga at 1:00 p.m. PT at Buck Shaw Stadium. Sunday is Senior Day as Santa Clara will recognize the contributions of seniors Keith DeVey and Erik Ustruck prior to the game. The NCAA Tournament Selection Show for men's soccer takes place on Monday, Nov. 6 between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. PT and will be broadcast live on ESPNEWS. The Santa Clara Athletic Department is hosting a viewing party at the Bronco in Benson Memorial Center for the Selection Show. Immediately following the announcement of the men's tournament field, there will be a question-and-answer session with Rast and selected players. Media members that would like to attend should contact the media relations department at 408-554-2114. All Santa Clara faculty, staff, students, and fans are also invited to attend this annual event.

Spurs Nation
Tim Duncan's knee, ankle injuries mar victory
By Jeff McDonald
The Spurs' night began with a bang, with Danny Green grabbing the opening tip and zooming for a left-handed dunk.
It ended with a 96-86 victory over Washington that extended the Spurs' winning streak to a season-best 10 games as they prepare to head out on their annual rodeo road trip later this week.
What should have been a Saturday night to celebrate, or at least appreciate, became a night of uncertainty when All-Star forward Tim Duncan crumpled to the floor with 3:54 left in the first half after Wizards forward Martell Webster rolled up on the back of his legs.
"I don't think I've ever seen Timmy like that before," Green said. "I've seen him hurt before — banged and bumped and bruised — but usually he gets right back up."
This time, Duncan had to be escorted off the floor with teammate DeJuan Blair under one arm and Stephen Jackson under the other. Television cameras later caught Duncan walking to the locker room on his own.
The initial diagnosis was a sprained left knee and sprained right ankle, but the full extent of the injuries likely will not be known until the 36-year-old is re-examined at some point later this week.
For now, Duncan's teammates are finding hope in the fact that he exited the AT&T Center after the game under his own power, without crutches or any other assistance.
"I don't know the ins and outs of what happened," Jackson said, "but I saw him walk out of there, so that's always good."
Pessimists might recall that Boston's Rajon Rondo recently played an entire fourth quarter on a knee that turned out to be season-endingly shredded.
Optimists might retort it is unlikely Spurs doctors would allow the team's star to amble out of the arena under his own power if they feared the worst.
What is certain is this: The status of Duncan's left knee just became the most important storyline of the Spurs' season.
Before Saturday, the Spurs (38-11) won four consecutive games without Duncan, who sat out with a sore left knee. They held on against the 11-35 Wizards — despite squandering all but six points of a 27-point lead during a 30-9 Washington run in the second half — with Duncan in the locker room.
But the Spurs are going nowhere in May and June without him.
"Today, it looked like he was feeling good in layup lines, and he started out good, playing well in rhythm," said Green, who had 15 points as the Spurs won their 18th straight at home. "To see him go down kind of sucks, not just for him but for us."
Washington coach Randy Wittman said he heard Duncan's injuries were not serious.
"I just talked to (the Spurs') doctors, and they said he's going to be fine," Wittman said.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich had no update to the initial injury report during a hurried postgame news conference. It appears likely the team will open the rodeo trip Wednesday in Minnesota without the player who is their second-leading scorer, leading rebounder and shot-blocker and foundational cornerstone.
The injuries came in Duncan's first game since Jan. 21. The Spurs were in the process of seizing control of the game a 20-1 spurt near the end of the first half.
Driving toward the basket, Webster got stripped in mid-air by the Spurs' Kawhi Leonard, then fell to the floor and rolled into the back of Duncan's legs. The unexpected blow sent Duncan sprawling and clutching his left knee.
"I lost my footing, right there in the air," Webster said. "That's an unfortunate situation. I was sad to see him go down."
Green finished a layup at the other end, then Popovich instructed point guard Tony Parker to foul the nearest Wizard to get Duncan off the floor. The sellout crowd of 18,581 fell silent.
"My prayers, my heart goes out to him that everything is OK, and he has a speedy and healthy recovery," Webster said.
Parker, who led the Spurs with 19 points and 12 assists, said he was heartened after talking to Duncan postgame.
"He was pretty positive," Parker said. "He's fine. It's nothing big."
Whether that prognosis holds up — or turns out to be wishful thinking — remains to be seen. Spurs fans will have to wait until medical tests confirm Duncan's diagnosis before they can properly exhale.
With 26 points on 4 of 4 shots from distance in only 20 minutes of PT. Efficient eviceration.
Wolves' fan: ginobili vs. the wolves is like he's just kind of laughing to himself all game...kind of like he thinks it's cute that they're trying to play basketball.

Pets, Pets, Pets...
Last week did you see the news story about the guy holding his toddler as a decoy, caught on security camera, while stealing a Chihuahua puppy from a Sunrise Hwy. pet store? Two days later the cops acting on a "tip," recovered the pint size pup at 3 a.m., swaddled in a blanket, lying in a basket on a ball field. Actually there were 2 highway robberies: the theft of the dog and the West Islip store's $1,600 price tag on this pooch.
Teacup puppies have a tricky metabolism. Hypoglycemia is a problem. Police may have found the pup in time, but are still pursuing the thief. To tell you the truthI worry more about the future of the thief 's babythat poor apprentice. Thirty plus years ago when I taught on the same Deer Park street where the puppy was found, the mother of one of my first graders lost custody for supposedly teaching her kids how to shop lift. I worry about what became of her son too.
However, the second "highway robbery"charging a small fortune for a pet store dogis the focus here. The media gave more publicity to the reopened, transplanted BTJs, the same store that burned to the ground in the '04 Christmas fire, the same store where hundreds of animals perished, the same store that humane groups have gotten complaints about for dogs, cats, Easter pets, and a menagerie of exoticslion cubs, an alligator and even a macaque allegedly liberated by the ALF. Before "Pets, Pets, Pets" began in '83, even my BEACON predecessorBarbara Van Bartholdtook issue with BTJs. I go a bit further and boycott all stores that sell puppies. No one who has researched a breed, no one who is aware of the horrors of puppy mills should buy a dog from a pet store.
Unfortunately, the news coverage brought a curious crowd to the store to see this Chihuahua. Some were as impulsive to buy as the crook was to steal. On 3/27 the Newsday headline announced the pup's sale: "From dognapping victim to adop tee". I'm a stickler for semantics. Nope, when someone pays that amount he is a "customer". You ADOPT dogs from shelters, rescue groups, and Good Samaritans; you BUY dogs from pet stores.
Long Island town shelters have plenty of small dogs; usually adults, but some puppies too. You just have to go there and look. Often it's the classic case of being in the right place at the right time. Be vigilant. Put yourself on request lists at shelters, humane groups, and purebred rescues. Call, make a pest of yourself. The Petfinder website is wonderful, but incomplete. Keep in mind, that municipal shelters do not list dogs on the Internet until they are up for adoption. Strays must be held 7 days to give an owner a chance to reclaim them. Meanwhile interested parties who see them in the shelter can put a "hold" on them. Lost dogs aren't on Petfinder during that first week. Many "desirable" dogs are snatched up before they go online.
Here's a shopping list of tiny dogs you may have missed out on this week at the 3 local pounds: Islip had a Shih-tzu and 2 mini Poodles; Oyster Bay had a young Boston Terrier; Babylon had a 6 month old Min Pin, a leggy Lhasa, a senior Pomeranian; a Beagle and a trio of 12 week old Dachshund/ Shih-tzus puppies. The Chihuahua "pup"arazzi could have adopted one of these adorable "Dox-tzus" for $20.50 (after neutering), if they went to Babylon Shelter instead.
Got "Puggle"? Don't dip into the trust fund or to search the Net or strip malls for these faux, invented breeds. No matter how you spell them"Cockapoo"or "Labradoodle doo", they're not breeds; they're not hybrids; they are mixes. Despite the sales pitch, there's no consistency to their appearance, size or temperament. They are the same lovable mutts that have been forever filling the cages in shelters because folks don't spay or neuter. Each mix is unique. Over the years our town shelter has had every permutation of Toy size dog, even blue eyed Maltese mix puppies. Right before Patrick Halpin was elected Suffolk County Executive, he adopted a Babylon Shelter "Schnoodle." This Schnauzer/Poodle became his family's cherished pet for the next 15 years or so.
Caveat emptor. There's nothing new to this silly, expensive fad. Take the "designer breed test" at: cgi" http://www.grumpybumpers.com/dogs/index.cgi to see if you can distinguish the shelter stray from the pricey designer dog. I got 5 out of 7 wrong.
Pedigree, you say? If you have your heart set buying on a purebred puppy, do your homework first. Make sure the breed fits your lifestyle. Research genetic defects and efforts to curtail them. Visit shows. Go to obedience and agility trials to see the breed's Mensa candidates. Talk to breeders; collect many business cards. Consult the AKC for referrals. Find out if the breeder advocates a spay/neuter contract or has a lifetime return policy. (Pet stores don't.) The best breeders do.
Correspond on the Internet with purebred rescue groups. They are experts on their breed's problems. They know which breeders to stay away from because many of their rescues come from them. Meanwhile, responsible breeders will answer your inquiry emails because they love their breed and will do anything to protect their babies from falling into the wrong hands. If you go to the breeder's home, ask to see both parents, if possible, since nowadays many ideal pairings are a bicoastal date or frozen semen. Make sure the eyes, hips, blood of the parents are certified clear of hereditary flaws. Insist on a shot/worming record and a detailed tutorial in how to care for your new pup. (A Massapequa Bernese Mountain Dog breeder used to make prospective owners watch a video.) Proper dog breeding isn't about making money. It's striving for a standard while improving the health and temperament of a beloved manifestation of the canine species.
A high price doesn't guarantee quality either. Purebred rescue contacts just may have a listing of the dog of your dreams (like the Afghan Beauty Queen I have now). Your donation covers the rescue's veterinary expenses and helps future dogs. At times breeders and handlers place show dogs in good pet homes. I was given the 9 month old son of the top Afghan. He turned out to be as fantastic as his brotherthe $12.50 Afghan I adopted from Oyster Bay Shelter. Incredible dogs are out there, just waiting for someone to love. Seek and you shall find. $1,600 for a Chihuahua...I don't buy it, and neither should you.
A pair of pint size poster pups is at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon. "Peanuts" is a 2 year old Lhasa mix. His owners moved to Florida without him. "Pisa" is the Leaning Tower of Pomeranian. This sweet senior stray is probably a teenager. Although she is missing teeth, she loves to eat. Both are in the Puppy Room.
Males: "Rocco"a 9 mon. Min Pin in the Puppy Room. His landlord changed the rule about dogs; "Cosby"the black Australian shepherd mix in Cage5; "A-Rod" the athletic Shepherd mix in Cage 37; a purebred Beagle in Cage 33.
Females: the Canaan Dog mix in Cage 51; "Brandy"the Hound mix in Cage 93; "Lexie"a petite short hair Sheltie mix in Cage 85.

It's too late to do any significant planning for the 2013 tax year, but right now is the perfect time to get a jumpstart on 2014.
Tax gurus note that the top earners — singles with taxable income over $400,000 and married joint filers with income over $450,000 — will be in for a nasty surprise when they confront the 2013 federal tax bills they'll pay in April. They face a top marginal income tax rate of 39.6 percent and a top marginal tax rate of 20 percent on long-term capital gains.
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, enacted close to a year ago, put in place the net investment income tax of 3.8 percent on annuity income, royalties, dividends and other sources of investment income, as well as the additional Medicare tax of 0.9 percent. Those levies will affect individuals making upward of $200,000 in modified adjusted gross income and married joint filers with more than $250,000 in income.
There have also been phaseouts on personal exemptions and itemized deductions: The so-called PEP and Pease.
"The filing of these 2013 tax returns is going to be an eye-opening experience for many of these clients," said Gavin Morrissey, vice president of wealth management at Commonwealth Financial Network.
It's all the more reason to start laying the groundwork for 2014.
First and foremost, there's the net investment income tax: the 3.8 percent levy that applies to the amount by which the taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 (if single) or the taxpayer's net investment income — whichever is lesser.
"This 3.8 percent surtax needs a lot of attention. That means placing more emphasis on portfolio design," said Robert Keebler, a partner with Keebler & Associates. Kick off the new year by looking at your portfolio holdings. Investors should look into using statutory shelters, such as life insurance, real estate and master limited partnerships to minimize the tax hit.
Roth conversions will still be in vogue during the 2013 tax season. These conversions require an upfront tax payment, but income from the Roth IRA will be tax-free in the future. "You can still jump on that right out the gates in 2014," Keebler said. In fact, jumping on that conversion right away makes sense because the investor is maximizing the amount of time for the market to do its work. You have until Oct. 15, 2015, to undo the Roth conversion, which means the investor has a year and ten months to watch the market, Keebler said.
High-net-worth investors who make significant charitable donations may want to consider front-loading a donor-advised fund in the new year. Given the new steep capital gains taxes and the fact that the market appreciated considerably over the course of last year, making a sizable gift of appreciated stock in January will give the investor a considerable charitable deduction.
"Let's say you give $5,000 a year to a charity and you have a stock position with a basis of $25,000 — but it's now worth $50,000 because of the appreciation over the last two years," said Morrissey. "If you put in the $50,000 in appreciated stock into a donor-advised fund, you're frontloading it for the next 10 years, and you have a nice income tax deduction that you can use today."
Finally, certain high earners might want to manage their income stream in order to keep themselves from drifting into higher tax brackets. Morrissey noted that if someone gets paid in stock options, perhaps they can defer them into later years when their income won't be as high. This might make sense if the individual projects that he or she will have a big income year and can have control over when and how that income is received.
"These [investors] might be getting close to retirement and don't want to trigger all this income at the same time, so they're looking for ways to defer income and stay below their thresholds," Morrissey added.

IntroductionAssertion facility is added in J2SE 1.4. In order to support this facility J2SE 1.4 added the keyword assert to the language, and AssertionError class. An assertion checks a boolean-typed expression that must be true during program runtime execution. The assertion facility can be enabled or disable at runtime.
Declaring AssertionAssertion statements have two forms as given below
assert expression;
assert expression1 : expression2;
The first form is simple form of assertion, while second form takes another expression. In both of the form boolean expression represents condition that must be evaluate to true runtime.
If the condition evaluates to false and assertions are enabled, AssertionError will be thrown at runtime.
Some examples that use simple assertion form are as follows.
assert value > 5 ;
assert accontBalance > 0;
assert isStatusEnabled();
The expression that has to be asserted runtime must be boolean value. In third example isStatusEnabled() must return boolean value. If condition evaluates to true, execution continues normally, otherwise the AssertionError is thrown.
Following program uses simple form of assertion
Class AssertionDemo{
Public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println( withdrawMoney(1000,500) );
System.out.println( withdrawMoney(1000,2000) );
public double withdrawMoney(double balance , double amount){
assert balance >= amount;
return balance - amount;
Enable/Disable Assertions
By default assertion are not enabled, but compiler complains if assert is used as an identifier or label. The following command will compile AssertionDemo with assertion enabled.
javac -source 1.4 AssertionDemo.java
The resulting AssertionDemo class file will contain assertion code.
By default assertion are disabled in Java runtime environment. The argument -eanbleassertion or -ea will enables assertion, while -disableassertion or -da will disable assertions at runtime.
The following command will run AssertionDemo with assertion enabled.
Java -ea AssertionDemo
Java -enableassertion AssertionDemo
Second form of AssertionThe second form of assertion takes another expression as an argument.
The syntax is,
assert expression1 : expression2;
where expression1 is the condition and must evaluate to true at runtime.
This statement is equivalent to
assert expression1 : throw new AssertionError(expression2);
Note: AssertionError is unchecked exception, because it is inherited from Error class.
Here, expression2 must evaluate to some value.
By default AssertionError doesn't provide useful message so this form can be helpful to display some informative message to the user.

The Apple/ARM rumor du jour is that Apple will transition its entire portable Mac line to ARM-based CPUs, dropping Intel altogether. Sources speaking to Semi Accurate claim this is a "done deal," and the move should happen by 2013, when a 64-bit ARM A15 core becomes available. While a future generation of Apple's A5 processor could make some sense for something akin to the MacBook Air, the claim that Apple will ditch Intel wholesale for ARM just doesn't add up.

What you eat before bed can have a profound impact on your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. The key is to find foods that help you sleep and healthy bedtime snacks that will not prevent you from getting the sleep you need. Some foods, and portion sizes, interfere with your ability to fall asleep at night. You've probably been told not to eat large snacks filled with fried, fatty food right before going to bed. But, what is good to eat?
Foods That Help You Sleep
Most of us know that we should avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime because both can interfere with the quality of sleep. But are there foods that help you sleep? According to Dr. Michael J. Breus, Certified Sleep Specialist, the answer to that question is yes! From cherries to oatmeal to warm milk, here are six foods and beverages that can help you get more shut eye tonight.
Sleep Promoting Foods
1) Cherries – According to a study reported in the Journal of Experimental Botany, cherries are a natural source of melatonin, which is often referred to as the "sleep hormone" because it helps control your body's internal clock needed to regulate sleep. While fresh cherries are only in season (and thus less expensive) for about two months of the year (June and July), tart cherry juice and dried cherries are excellent substitutes when purchasing fresh cherries tends to break the bank. According to Dr. Oz, montmorency tart cherries have six times the melatonin content than a normal cherry, so look for those for the most benefit.

Subjective thoughts on rolling resistance
Postby LuckyPierre » Wed Apr 18, 2007 11:58 am
Mike has an interesting link in his signature which has a pretty objective analysis of rolling resistance for a range of tyres.
My first thought was "Beauty, both the tyres I use (Open Corsa Evo CX and Pro2Race) are up near the top of the table". Then I thought "Hang on, the Attack / Force pair are way down the bottom". All in all, there's plenty of room for some subjective thoughts, aren't there?
I'll go first.
While I'm pleased to see my two preferred tyres scoring well, I think that there is a pretty big difference in how they feel. The Evo's seem easier to push (and are measurably so accordng to the chart), but the Pro2Race's seem to ride better. Interestingly, the article rated the Pro2Race's as more puncture resistant than the Evo's, but my experience is very much the opposite - after all, I replaced the Michelins because I was sick of punctures and I've only had one with my Vittorias. I hope that that doesn't condemn me to another round of frequent punctures!

No. But you can cost the different tyres pretty easily (ProBikeKit carries nearly all of them).MichaelB wrote:Is there a comparison of what the cost vs rolling resistance ?

Maybe you're too big for effective rolling resistance
Peter's link at the top of this thread worked for me, I haven't clicked on the one in Mike's signature, just assumed they were the same.
Maybe I'm tired but I didn't really get much from that article and it seemed to be suggesting that fatter is better.

'fatter is better'
Absolutely, 531db agrees with this.
The Fellini and Superlite both use Maxxis Detonator tyres in 700 x 28C. These tyres are the same flexible lightweight tyres as the 700 x 23C versions, just wider and taller and have a recommended max pressure of 120 psi.
531db has proven these work with 2 wins, and a number of placings in ACTVCC and Waratah VCC events, and to top it off a second place in a NSW state open road race all on 28C's

Is there much of a weight penalty in the X28c tyres 531?

"Is there much of a weight penalty in the X28c tyres 531?"
Very little, there would be a small amount, but it's not obvious to me. I believe the 28C Detonators would be lighter then many 23C's, especially the kevlar belted jobbies.
BTW, the tyres are mounted on Mavic Open Pro or MA2 rims.
A good honest 36 DT SS spokes in the rear and either 28 or 36 in the front depending on the wheel being used.

The interesting thing is the grip level as well.
There is a pair of Schwalbe Ultremo clinchers for $100 on Ebay at the moment as well !! And the same seller has a pair of Conti GP4000S as well.

the ride the bike has now is so smoooth and soft! At first i thought there would be a performance trade off in cornering grip but the tires are very surefooted around corners, chalk and cheese compared to the stock set of maxxis slicks the bike came with.

You've just had a baby boy! You've brought him home from the hospital, you're getting into that routine of late night feedings and too frequent diaper changes, and you think, "Hmmm. What this situation really needs is for someone to take a pair of scissors to this little rascal's penis." I don't get it. But apparently, home circumcisions are a thing, and there are "professionals" (using the term loosely) who are so committed to their hobby of chopping up baby penises that they'll resign from regular work to commit to the practice.
As part of the BBC investigation, an actor phoned up Dr Siddiqui and asked him to conduct a home circumcision on their baby. He agreed, in direct contravention of his GMC ban. Since then, and after discovering he had been exposed by the BBC, Dr Siddiqui has resigned from his NHS job. The astonishing consequence of that resignation is that it now allows him to resume conducting circumcisions, which it appears he fully intends to do.
Yes, you did read that correctly. Circumcisions are completely unregulated in the UK, and anyone – you, me or the local barber – can set up a business cutting off baby boy's foreskins at a hundred quid a pop. Any doctor under the employ of the NHS, however, is bound to the regulation of the GMC and the Quality and Care Commission. A circumcision conducted in a hospital, with anaesthetic and surgical implements is carefully controlled and subject to monitoring and audit. A circumcision conducted on a kitchen table or in a community centre is completely unregulated. There are more regulations surrounding the piercing of an ear than the surgical amputation of a foreskin.
Weird. You know, if a guy made a habit of going around kissing baby penises, he'd be locked up on the spot, but add some sharp knives and olive oil to the process, and suddenly it becomes an honored and respected traditional folk practice that must be allowed to continue without interference.

The Polar Vortex in July? It's Coming Next Week
Complaining about the summer heat?

As we all know by now, President Obama played golf with Tiger Woods down in Florida today.
The news of this presidential pairing – Obama and Woods played with U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, who also owns the private Floridian yacht and golf club, where Obama is spending the three-day Presidents Day holiday – was broken Sunday morning by Tim Rosaforte, who writes for Golf World and also appears on the Golf Channel.
In his dual roles, Rosaforte has become one of golf's most visible and valuable chroniclers – I'd rank him among the top five golf writers working today. He's also a nice guy – though he didn't make any friends among the White House press corps this weekend by scooping them so thoroughly.
Having lived in Washington, D.C., for almost two decades and having worked in both Congress and the government-covering media for several years, I know all too well that nothing irks the reporters who cover the White House like not having access to the President. In situations like today, reporters generally aren't allowed to accompany the golfers in an attempt to give them a modicum of privacy to enjoy their round – presidents sometimes allow media to tag along, but usually not.
And in fact, this weekend, the traveling press corps has been confined to what The Washington Post described as a ''party bus'' while Obama has been on-site at The Floridian. However, Rosaforte got access to the pro shop – not exactly riding in the cart with Obama and Woods, but way better than where the White House reporters have been stranded.
That, as you might suspect, has caused some hard feelings among the political scribes – who apparently haven't even laid eyes on Obama – especially after Rosaforte tweeted about Woods meeting up with Obama on the practice range and then beginning their round a little later.
''For much of this outing, the small contingent of the White House press corps accompanying Obama has lobbied with little success for more information about where precisely on the Floridian grounds the president is staying, who he is staying with, and how much contact he has with other people on the grounds,'' wrote Scott Wilson on The Washington Post's 'Post Politics' blog Sunday afternoon. ''A photo of Obama on the course with someone as famous as Woods is commonly a moment the 'traveling pool' of about a dozen journalists is allowed to witness. White House officials declined to allow that Sunday.''
Because the President's motorcade hasn't left the compound, White House officials explained, there was no reason for the pool to track the President's activities or to know who he is spending time with on a personal vacation. That is an argument often respected by the White House press corps, Wilson wrote, except this time Obama isn't staying in a private home.
''The debate over access had grown near-Talmudic in its intensity and detail,'' Wilson wrote. Rosaforte's presence ''prompted a sharp complaint from the White House Correspondents' Association over the way this trip — and Sunday's outing, in particular — has been handled by the administration in a way that has rendered it largely hidden from the traveling press.''
And, unsaid, is the fact that Rosaforte tweeted out the news of Tiger's presence at The Floridian and his round with Obama well before anyone in the White House press corps could do anything about it.
I haven't spoken to Rosaforte about how he found out about the Obama-Woods pairing or how he got better access than the White House reporters, but at this point it doesn't matter. He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the golf journalists' world today.

Dude buys $4000 MacBook Pro. GPU make/model in this laptop is proven to be defective. Apple launches repair program that covers the machine. Apple refuses to fix or replace the dude's $4000 laptop. Dude tries several different ways of getting Apple to admit fault. Apple doesn't budge. Case goes to court, in front of a judge. Apple sends two (2) (twee) (deux) (zwei) (dos) (dva) (dau) lawyers to handle the case. Dude takes care of his own defense, obliterates Apple. Judge summons Apple to pay for the laptop and court costs. During the court case, the Apple lawyers admit openly that replacing the logic board would have cost Apple nothing, since Nvidia foots the bill. Apple paid for two, most likely quite expensive lawyers, to prevent having to pay nothing to replace a laptop. This is pure insanity.

Miami fires women's basketball coach after 15 seasons

Miami fires women's basketball coach after 15 seasons
RedHawks were 18-11 in 2012-13
OXFORD, Ohio —
Miami University is beginning the search for a new women's basketball coach.
The school said Director of Athletics David Sayler relieved Maria Fantanarosa of her duties on Wednesday afternoon.
"I want to thank Coach Fantanarosa for all that she has done for Miami in her 15 seasons as Head Women's Basketball Coach," Sayler said in a news release. "She has been a valued member of the Miami community, and we wish her success in the next chapter of her career."
In 15 seasons at Miami, Fantanarosa compiled a 237-212 record, with four postseason appearances including an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008.
The RedHawks were 18-11 in the regular season this year, losing to Illinois in the first round of the Women's National Invitational Tournament.

Agnew that American Jews control the most important segments of the media and exert undue influence on United States policy, espe¬ cially in the Middle East. Agnew has been making these remarks in appear¬ ance on various television talk shows promoting his novel "The Canfield Decision." Similar charges against American Jews are contained in the book. In an interview published May 23 in the Washington Star, the ' former Vice President con¬ tended that half of those in -the "ownership and manage-" ment* policy posts* in the "national impact media" are Jewish. Agnew conceded "' to. Washington Star\ staff writer William Delaney that' his view about Jews in the media and his view, that Israel "has now embarked on the imperialistic exercise '.'bringing about a police state in these areas", was not "recently arrived at. "When 1 was in office" it "wasn't obviously to my advantage occupying Arab lands" and ^ to say these things." but "1 still took this point of view." Agnew told Delaney that he visited the Middle East because he felt the U.S. policy was so uneven that he iC0NT|NUED0NPAGE16S Sec. Council Deplores Israeli Settlements -UNITED NATIONS (WNS) - Security Council President Louis de Guirin- gaud read the Council a majority statement deplor¬ ing the establishment by Israel of settlements in the occupied territories as an "obstacle" to peace in the Middle East. The statement, which expressed "grave anxiety" over the present situation in the territories and concern about the fate of the Arab population there, urged Israel "to desist and rescind" such measures. , The statement which did riot specify" which of the 15 Council members approved it came at the end of a Council debate on a request by Egypt to criticize Israel's administration of the .terri¬ tories. ' A draft resolution criticizing Israel was~ruled out by the Council members because, of the likelihood of an American veto. American objections also eliminated the possibility of a consensus statement which would have required the unanimous endorsement of all 15 Council members U.S. Ambassador William Scranton also *voiced objec-' tions to the majority state¬ ment .as lacking balance. However,-he.said there was -Triucft^wat^the ;U.S.*"Could* (Israel's) friends throughout the world and are not helpful to the process of peace" Israeli Ambassador Chaim Herzog declared that "Israel rejects the thesis that the establishment of settlements is ah obstacle to peace.

Quarterly sends Amarin stock soaring
Dublin-based biotech Amarin Corp. plc's stock took a ride upward Friday, one day after releasing first-quarter financial results that gave an early glimpse of how sales of its newly approved heart medication, Vascepa, are proceeding.
Amarin, which has research-and-development headquarters in Groton, said it has seen a near-quadrupling of Vascepa prescriptions since its first full month of sales in February. The company added that more than 4,000 clinicians nationwide have prescribed Vascepa at least once.
The sales trajectory boosted Amarin's stock price Friday as it ticked up by more than 6 percent. The price closed on the Nasdaq exchange at $7.25, up 42 cents.
"We've seen great script trends so far," Joseph Zakrzewski, Amarin's chief executive, said during a conference call Thursday. "We like responses from the doctors, the managed care, we like the shipping patterns, the buying patterns. ... It feels right to us."
Zakrzewski added that managed-care companies are embracing Vascepa as well.
"We're about three to six months ahead of where we expected," he said.
Vascepa saw prescriptions rise from 3,224 in February to 11,768 in April, according to sales figures. The company also reported progress in training clinicians to speak on behalf of Vascepa, noted that the quarter saw a doubling of its patents to 22 and cited encouraging feedback regarding patients' initial response to the fish-oil medication.
In the past few weeks, Amarin also has received regulatory approval to add two more suppliers to its fold, with the potential of significantly cutting costs.
Amarin's product sales were $2.34 million in the first quarter, but the company still reported a loss of $62.2 million as it ramped up its sales force, stocked up on Vascepa and continued to study the drug's effect on patients with high levels of a type of fat known as triglycerides in the blood.
Amarin's cash burn for the quarter was $58.4 million, but the company said it had enough money on hand to complete its so-called ANCHOR study that has the potential to expand Vascepa's market by 10 times when compared with the number of patients that the drug currently targets.
"Looking at this early trajectory, the Vascepa launch has shown nice strength, comparable to some recent big-pharma cardiovascular launches," Zakrzewski said. "We are witnessing many positive signs in the market, and we are encouraged by the progress our (275) sales professionals are making out in the field."
Amarin highlights
• Vascepa launched in January, with $2.3 million in sales through March
• 90 million now can access Vascepa through insurance
• Added BASF and Chemport to list of active pharmaceutical ingredient suppliers
• Increased approved patents from 11 to 22

Lionel Messi Once Again Tops AP Global Soccer Rankings
LONDON – Lionel Messi is solidifying his reign as the current king of international soccer.
This week, the Barcelona star returned to the top of the Associated Press Global 10 soccer rankings by breaking Pele's 54-year-old goal-scoring record.
In The Associated Press' weekly rankings, Messi finished far ahead of his closest rival, Mexican striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, who was in goal-scoring form for Manchester United over the past week. Messi is just 10 goals away from breaking the all-time calendar-year record set by Germany's Gerd Muller in 1982.
"Messi's got to take top spot after yet another milestone," said panelist James Porteous of The South China Morning Post in Hong Kong.
"Passing Pele's record of 75 goals in a calendar year with his brace against Mallorca. Ten goals in 10 games required to overtake Gerd Muller's mark of 85 and you'd have to fancy him to achieve it."
Mike McGrath of Britain's Wardles News Agency and The Sun newspaper, said: "If there was any argument about Lionel Messi being the best player in the world, beating Pele's record puts that beyond any doubt. He is setting new standards of brilliance every week."
Each panelist in the AP poll gives 10 points for his player of the week, dropping to one point for his 10th choice. The same applies for global club teams. Panelists are soccer journalists from around the world.
Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella thrust his way into third place by scoring four goals in the past two games.
Messi received 139 points, Hernández 98 and Quagliarella 67.
Goalkeeper Fraser Forster, hero of Celtic's stunning Champions league victory over Barcelona, was recognised by the panelists who voted him into fourth position with 61 points. Strikers Edinson Cavani (5th), Franck Ribery (6th), Cristiano Ronaldo (7th) and Marouanne Fellaini (8th) all benefited from scoring.
"Cavani has replaced Radamel Falcao as the hottest striker in Europe," Will Tidey of Bleacher Report in the U.S. said. "The Uruguayan scored all four in Napoli's Europa League win on Thursday, then added a goal and an assist in Serie A on Sunday."
Ronaldo scored for Real Madrid against Levante despite a gruesome eye injury hindering his vision.
Bayern was the team of the week with 128 points, jumping from third place. The 6-1 Champions League thrashing of Lille was clinical, and a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend keeps it at the top of the Bundesliga.
Juventus bounced back from a loss to Inter Milan with 10 goals in two games to come second with 121 points. The Italian team won 4-0 in midweek against Denmark's Nordsjaelland, and scored six at Pescara. Juve had finished fourth in the previous poll.
United was third, up one position, after successive Champions League victories, thanks mainly to Hernández.
Celtic's midweek victory over Barcelona was rewarded with a fourth place, the first time the Scottish team has appeared in the top 10.
Tom Timmerman of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said: "Where would Celtic have been in the Champions League without Forster? Not getting as much praise, that's for sure.
"In a one-game, head-to-head matchup, I'd be inclined to go with Barcelona, but for the bodywork so far this season, it's hard to look past what Bayern Munich has done, with 10 wins in 11 games and a 7-point edge in the Bundesliga."
"Beating the world champions," wrote Paolo Condo of Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport, "Celtic fixed a new milestone in its beautiful history, and of course the brilliant night of the goalkeeper Forster was a big part of the victory."
Barcelona dropped from second to fourth after the defeat to Celtic, despite victory in the domestic league against Mallorca. Brazil's newly crowned league champion Fluminense jumped into the top 10 in sixth place.
Brazilian sports writer Paulo Vinicius Coelho of Estado de S.Paulo, paid tribute to striker Fred.
"Top scorer in the Brazilian Championship, Fred was the top player in the match against Palmeiras, the match when Fluminense was crowned Brazilian champion." Fred was 12th in the poll.

By JIM SALTER
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS (AP) – A stew of foul weather, ranging from freezing rain and snow in the Midwest to thunderstorms and possible tornadoes in the South, is arriving just in time for one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
Much of the nation is bracing for something: Freezing rain, then 6 inches of snow, is possible in the northern Plains; torrential rains are expected in the Appalachian region; weekend thunderstorms in the South could spawn twisters.
It's all moving into the East, too, creating travel worries in the days leading up to Christmas from Chicago and Detroit to Boston and New York.
AAA projects that nearly 95 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more during the holiday period, which runs from Saturday through Jan. 1.
The winter storm will mark an abrupt change for many. Temperatures were in the 60s in parts of the Midwest on Thursday. By Friday morning, freezing rain was closing schools and creating travel problems in Michigan and Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation said Interstate 90/94 was ice-covered from Tomah and Mauston. The state was bracing for significant snow, sleet and ice.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for eastern Missouri, including St. Louis, with up to 4 inches of rain projected. With falling temperatures, some of that could be freezing rain by Saturday night, weather service meteorologist Jon Carney said.
"It's definitely a concern that there could be flooding," Carney said.
AccuWeather forecasters said thunderstorms will develop in the South thanks to a surge of warm, humid air. The region most at peril is from central and northeastern Texas through Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and southeast Missouri.
AccuWeather said wind gusts could reach 80 mph, and flash flooding is possible.
By Sunday night, the storm systems will be hammering the East Coast. AccuWeather said some New England and mid-Atlantic states could see rare winter thunderstorms.

One of the many great things about stand up comedy is the widely varied circumstances that lead people to jump on stage for the first time to tell jokes to entertain. The where, when, and how is often as intriguing as the comedy itself. For many it comes later in life after leading successful careers as teachers, lawyers, or corporate executives. What is more rarely seen is for a mother of three, living in rural Appalachia, who grew up on a farm within a truly extended family to find her way to the stage of stand up. Leanne's journey into comedy is far from the standard profile but so intertwined into her act and success that it would be hard to imagine her starting any other way.
As a stay at home mother of three, Leanne was looking for a way to get some grown up time without interfering with her children or her husband's career. She turned to selling jewelry at in home parties. Word of her wonderful sense of humor and intoxicating southern charm spread like wildfire and she was staying booked months in advance. She was so popular that local civic organizations would ask her to host and emcee various events. From here she was asked to entertain several local corporate events and a professional comedy career was born.
A move to Texas with her husband's career opened many new opportunities for Leanne. While in San Antonio she was asked to appear in the Las Vegas Comedy Festival and appeared on ABC's The View in a hilarious housewife segment.
Leanne's style of comedy combines her southern charm and hilarious story telling about her own life into an act that keeps them coming back for more. People are always accusing her of spying on them because she seems to be living the same life that they do. The fact that everyone can relate to her comedy has made her a hit even among the strangest of audiences.
After returning to Knoxville, Leanne appeared as a finalist on Nick at Nite's Funniest Mom and toured three years with the Southern Fried Chicks. She has appeared in comedy clubs, performing arts centers, and theatres all over the United States. She is currently under contract with Warner Brothers and ABC to develop a sitcom based on her comedy.

Welcome to Clifton Highlands Golf Course!
Just 3 miles north of Prescott, Wisconsin, overlooking the St Croix River Valley lies Clifton Highlands Golf Club. Minutes east of St Paul, Minnesota, it has been a favorite of serious golfers for over thirty-five years. It is one of about 20 courses throughout Wisconsin, designed by Dr Gordon Emerson, and the one he considered to be his finest work. The Highlands offers a premium facility, available to you, at a very fair price.
Challenging to both low and high handicappers, it's a course that can be played day in and day out without tiring of its beauty. It is a fairly tight course with wooded areas, water and sand coming into play. The Highlands has enjoyed a 4.5 Star rating from Golf Digest Magazine for many years and has received a number of accolades from local, regional and national writers. Come see why it's said to be "One of Wisconsin's Best".
"…beautiful Wisconsin golf course, designed to test your shot-making skills… will have you using every club in your bag… one of the best and most affordable places to play in Wisconsin."
Minnesota Monthly Magazine, June 2010
"Tee to green, Clifton Highlands, rated 4.5 stars by Golf Digest, is a pretty fair test of golf, but it's what happens on the greens that will determine your score, for better or worse."
Tad Reeve, Western Wisconsin Golf Journal
"…Clifton Highlands in the TOP 5 – "Bang For Your Buck" Courses in the ENTIRE Twin Cities area!"
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"What is 150 feet high, has mature oaks, a man made pond and the most spectacular views in western Wisconsin? The Par 3 Course at Clifton Highlands."
River Falls Journal
"Golf courses need to find the right niche. At Clifton Highlands they provide a quality golf course at prices that are fair."
Down the Middle by Slater Lampman
"Truly the best, say readers about the value at Clifton Highlands. Be on guard at the finish though, as you can't see the flag after your tee shots on 17 and 18."

"Old pirates, yes, they rob I. Sold I to the merchant ships, minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit."
"Redemption Song," Bob Marley
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Everything's funny when you're making money. For select fund managers around the street, it might be a while before they smile.
Today is redemption day for funds with a 45-day advance notice redemption window. What that means in plain English is that well-heeled hedge fund investors, many of whom are watching in horror as the smartest money in the Street takes a beating, will have the chance to leave the dance.
This date has been circled for a while, and it isn't necessarily a call to arms. While unknown shoes continue to loom, bear market trading is the polar opposite of bull market tendencies. That may mean that we're supposed to "sell the rumor and buy the news" but that is a leap of faith that remains to be seen.
Back in June as the indexes tickled all-time highs and M&A was on a trillion dollar run rate. As the Blackstone billions were being minted, there was nary a care of a market scare. Ya Mon , life was good, or so it seemed, as the banks and bulls readied to rejoice. See Minyanville article
We scrunched our nose as UBS AG UBS, -1.43% closed a small fund as a function of subprime. We sniffed a bit when Bear Stearns informed investors that one of their now-defunct funds was suspending redemptions. We noted that Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s' GS, -1.79% mighty Alpha fund, down 3.4% at the time, was nothing to sneeze at. See Minyanville article
Fast-forward two months. UBS is down 18%. Goldman is 27% lower. Bear Stearns Companies Inc. BSC, +0.84% , the venerable and seemingly impervious institution, is a stunning 31% below where it was. Corrections are a healthy component of any bull market, we know, but something still smells amiss in the land of flickering ticks.
Lest you think we're taking a victory lap, let me assure you that we're not. That's never been our style, particularly as folks are getting hurt and losing money. We would be remiss not to note the newfound goats, however, as they remain the central point of pain. As go the piggy banks, as we so often say , so goes the poke. See Minyanville article
The reversal of fortunes around the globe has been s a self-fulfilling prophecy. With upward of $500 trillion in derivatives weaving the world together, it's easy to trace the contagion. It started with New Century Financial , bled into American Home Mortgage, spread among hedge funds, many of which are correlated with the same strategies, and it has now infected the biggest and brightest blue shoe firms.
Late last week, global stock doctors administered an all-too-familiar antidote, one that has kept the patient and patience in play for years: liquidity. Central banks injected more than $300 billion into the system with hopes that life-support will allow the financial body to function despite the fading brain and aching legs. See Minyanville article
Those overt actions stood out to my seasoned eyes. If central banks around the world were orchestrating a coordinated effort to shore up liquidity and stimulate demand with the mainstay averages still up nicely for the year the natural question is begged: what do they see that we don't?
I was speaking with several high-level players over the weekend. They seemed fairly sanguine about the current credit crunch and share the mindset that central banks won't let anything "bad" happen to the global economy. I humbly offered that "that" stream of thinking is precisely why the risk of displacement remains higher than many believe.
My brother David, who was quietly absorbing the conversation, chimed in to offer that "Toddo is a derivative trader and they're always bearish." I smiled and said that option traders aren't negative or naughty by nature, they simply understand the nuances of risk management and the caveats of reward chasing behavior.
To be clear, I'm not saying that the market is going to crash, I'm simply stating that the conditional elements of a downside disconnect remain in place. And it is that probability the potential that the wheels will wobble off the wagon that is currently being priced into the marketplace through the process of price discovery.
I was flipping channels the other night and caught a debate about whether "media is to blame" for the current financial shame. While I share concerns about how some prominent prognosticators conduct themselves (or, more specifically, that many folks still listen to them), pointing fingers at the media is endemic of the larger "pass the buck" mentality.
There was a witch-hunt for corporate malfeasance after the tech crash (admittedly, there were bad apples in the bunch) and there's going to be a lynching this time as well. Take me at my word, you're going to see blame being placed all over the street, from hedge funds to investment banks to mortgage companies to government sponsored agencies. We're in the top of the first inning as far as that's concerned.
But it's really not that simple.
We, as a nation, cannot continue to live beyond our means for evermore without eventually paying our debts. Life just doesn't work that way. My grandfather Ruby taught me that, "What goes around, comes around" and it applies in so many different instances. It applies in a way that will profoundly affect the livelihoods of our children unless we begin to assume responsibility for our financial choices.
So no, it's not the media's fault. And it's not entirely the Fed's fault although, if we took our medicine when we should have after the last bubble, we would probably be walking on the road to legitimate recovery by now. While they made our bed--and I would appreciate forthright bedtime stories as we lay in it--it is our dreams we continue to chase.
And the end of the day, no matter how we slice it, we have only ourselves to blame for incessantly consuming, pushing out our obligations with zero-percent financing, extracting value from our homes through adjustable rate mortgages and allowing ourselves to be seduced by the bigger, better deal.
Market moves are characterized by three phases: denial, migration and panic. If the debt bubble has indeed cracked, as I believe it has, we've got a long, hard road ahead. I shared a similar thought in 2000 with regard to the trading dynamic, and I offer it again in a much broader context. And please don't shoot the messenger. That, in many ways, is the same conditioned behavior that continues to plague our society. See Minyanville article
Good luck, and remember the risks when and after we rally. It should never take something bad to make you realize you've got it good and, well, we've had it good for a mighty long time.
True redemption, in life, love and the markets, begins within.
Random thoughts
- While I've been trading from the short side, I went home light and tight with plenty of dry powder. There is considerable two-sided risk to this tape and I want to pick spots rather than make stands.
- Please make sure that your money market fund doesn't hasn't "cut corners" to achieve a marginally higher rate of return. If you're going to preserve capital in cash, do so in a plain, vanilla, boring manner.
- The FOMC may well "surprise" us with a rate cut but I will remind you that the last time they did that , in January 2001, the rally faded quicker than a pair of Levi's. See Minyanville chart
- If and when they cut, watch the dollar-yen as a carry trade (liquidity) proxy. The yen has been trading in lockstep with U.S equities of late.
- In 1987, there was a slew of "short, cheap puts" in the marketplace and exacerbated the slide. Today, as a function of the "buy-write funds," we've got the same synthetic dynamic. For anyone who knows anything about options will tell you that "long stock and short call" has the same exact risk profile as a naked short put. See Minyanville articleSee Minyanville article
- If you're staring at each and every tick, you likely have too much exposure. When in doubt, wait it out or trade smaller until clarity emerges. When the dust settles and the smoke clears, there will be fewer players and more opportunities.
Fare ye well and remember that the purpose of the journey is the journey itself.

Princeton Demands Website Remove Elena Kagan's Thesis; Claiming Copyright Infringement
from the fair-use? dept
With everyone digging deeper and deeper to find out more about Kagan, the website Red State apparently dug up her undergraduate thesis and posted it to their website... leading Princeton to demand that the thesis be taken down -- not, of course, for political reasons, but copyright ones. The University is selling copies of her thesis, and apparently the commercial value just shot up:
It has been brought to my attention that you have posted Elena Kagan's senior thesis online.... Copies provided by the Princeton University Archives are governed by U.S. Copyright Law and are for private individual use only. Any electronic distribution is prohibited, as noted on the first page of the copy that is on your website. Therefore I request that you remove it immediately before further action is taken.Of course, ordering that the document be pulled down pretty much guarantees that it will get spread more widely -- and there's definitely a journalistic reporting defense for posting the document (though, I'm not particularly convinced that anything anyone wrote in college has much meaning once they've spent a few decades outside of college). And, of course, in trying to get the document taken down, it's just going to lead conspiracy-minded folks to think there's more to the document than there is (in actuality, it's a rather bland historical analysis, but you wouldn't know that from what some sites are claiming about it). But from a journalistic standpoint, it seems you could make a decent argument for fair use in distributing the document. In fact, publications like Newsweek are already sharing parts of the thesis as well (mostly to debunk the hysteria around it). It's difficult to see what Princeton gained in issuing the takedown notice, other than to rile up people.
