Alaska is a cool place to be, if only for the fact that everyone else in the country seems to equate living here with living on the far side of the moon. It's as if they think Alaska's not just a long way from home, it's a whole 'nother world. What irks me, though, is that Hollywood seems to think the same thing. They like to make movies about Alaska, just not in Alaska. Yeah, this is a somewhat exotic locale, but it's not light-years away or anything. We are continental, for goodness sakes!

Big Bird skit: Is it legal?
Updated 8:37 am, Tuesday, November 6, 2012
A controversial halftime show starring presidential candidates and Big Bird might have offended some high school football fans over the weekend, but officials disagree on whether the skit might have violated any laws.
The Central Medical Magnet High School's Saturday band performance included a skit with three students dressed as Big Bird, President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The skit ended with Big Bird punching and knocking down Romney and then dancing with Obama.
David Starnes, who recently represented the Kountze High School cheerleaders in their legal battle to express their freedom of speech by using Scripture verses on signs at football games, said the Texas and U.S. Constitution allows such expression as long as it is student initiated and not representative of the school.
The question, he said, is whether the actions by the students in the skit can be considered lewd, offensive, vulgar or indecent.
If it is, Starnes said, the school district can regulate or not allow it.
The trouble with the wording, he added, is that what is considered offensive by some isn't by others.

Young MacDonald Has A Deal-EIEIO!!?
Clarets striker Alex MacDonald has agreed a new deal to remain at Turf Moor or at least that's what Sky Sports understand. There has however not been any official confirmation from the club as yet.
It is thought MacdOnald accepted a twelve month extensive following the offer from Burnley gaffer, Eddie Howe.
The 21-year-old is also thought to be highly regarded at Turf Moor with the club keen to secure his future.
He came through the youth system but has had little chance to shine so far in the first team and will be hoping this is the season he can make the breakthrough.
The Scotland Under-21 international ended last season on loan at SPL side Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Sunday afternoon we all met up in the Ft. Lauderdale Airport, and from there set out to our hotel. Our hotel is right on the edge of University of Miami, which is absolutely gorgeous. There are palm trees everywhere, and everything is so green. The weather was wonderful, and walking and sitting outside was very pleasant.
After checking in at the hotel and getting our room assignments, we headed over to the University of Miami Hillel's Kutcher Auditorium for a delicious dinner! We sat in groups and got to know each other, and then it was time for ICE BREAKERS!!! Standing in a circle of 100 strangers is awkward at first, but......

Toyota, Microsoft Partner On Vehicle Digital Services
Microsoft Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. announced on Wednesday a strategic partnership under which the two companies plan to build a global platform for Toyota's next-generation telematics services using the Windows Azure platform.
The companies said they were investing 1 billion yen, or about $12 million, in Toyota Media Service Co., a Toyota subsidiary that offers digital information services to customers. The unit will focus on telematics, the combination of telecommunications and information technologies, which could include GPS systems, energy management and other multimedia technologies that could be used in Toyota's vehicles.Toyota said it plans to create a network based on Microsoft's Azure "cloud computing" platform by 2015, which would provide affordable and advanced digital services to Toyota customers around the world.
As part of its smart-grid activities, Toyota is conducting trials in Japan of its Toyota Smart Center pilot program, which plans to link people, automobiles and homes for integrated control of energy consumption. Toyota said it believes such systems will rely more on telematics services for achieving efficient energy management as electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles become more popular.
Microsoft has a long history of delivering platforms and services to the automotive market, including in-car infotainment systems built on the Windows Embedded Automotive platform, in-car mapping services with Bing and the Microsoft Tellme voice application, along with many other consumer solutions. However, the partnership with Toyota represents a divergence for the software giant, which until now has worked mainly with Ford Motor Co. on its auto industry technology efforts.
"Today's announcement of our partnership with TMC is a great example of how we continue to invest in the automotive industry and of our commitment to power the services that are important to consumers," said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
"It further validates the power of the cloud, as the Windows Azure platform will provide the enterprise-grade, scalable platform that TMC needs to deliver telematics in its automobiles worldwide."
Toyota Motor Corp. president Akio Toyoda praised the new partnership, saying it was a vital first step towards future progress.
"This new partnership between Microsoft and Toyota is an important step in developing greater future mobility and energy management for consumers around the world. Creating these more efficient, more environmentally advanced products will be our contribution to society," he said.
"To achieve this, it is important to develop a new link between vehicles, people and smart center energy-management systems."

Chapter 1 : I am your Master!
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 8
Background: Font color:
Please review so I can improve!!! This story was inspired by a real door!
It was another cold, dark afternoon in Malfoy Manor. The windows rattled with the almighty force of the wind, trees swayed and, for one reason or another, the floorboards seemed more creaky than usual. The many cars that they owned were covered in a thick layer of frost, the type you could write your name in and see it about two hours later. The main gates kept opening and slamming again and again, due to the treacherous wind.
Narcissa Malfoy had left with her son Draco to visit some muggle attractions, leaving Lucius alone in the enormous manor (over 50 rooms, all equipped with muggle capabilities e.g. sockets, TVs, radios etc.). Lucius wasn't allowed to go because Cissy and Draco needed some "mummy and Drakey bonding time". So, with many grumbles about it not being fair and being left alone with measly, unimportant house elves, Lucius finally agreed to let them leave without him. Draco and Narcissa then hurried out before he could change his mind.
Since he couldn't be bothered to turn the heating on (which only required the flick of a wand), Lucius was sitting on the luxurious leather sofa....in a sleeping bag. He was freezing, hence the sleeping bag. Lucius finally decided that the 30 minutes he had been wrapped up there was too much, he had endured enough of the minus temperatures for one day.
"Dobby come here now!" Lucius yelled from the lounge. Then came the sound of multiple scuffling noises, bangs, clunks and clatters, along with occasional yelps.
After a minute Dobby shuffled into the lounge, crumbs around his mouth and a tiny dribble of golden, sticky liquid hang from his mouth.
"What ith it mathter?" Dobby tried to say, but his teeth were stuck together with the golden sticky stuff. Lucius, still in the sleeping bag, was suspicious. He looked at Dobby, narrowed his eyes and said:
"Dobby.....was that the last of the Caramel Biscuits?"
Dobby looked around nervously as if looking for somewhere to hide. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other before finally answering in a very small meek, guilty voice.
"Maybe mathter.....yeth." As his jaws were still stuck together with caramel, the words didn't come out quite clearly, but it was enough for Lucius.
"Dobby! That's MY biscuit. You little thief! I'm going to get you!" Lucius shouted, fumbling with the zip of the sleeping bag.
This was Dobby's chance to run, and so he did! Being small was a disadvantage to him, and he knew better than to use any of his powers, not after what happened last time. Lucius was in a bad temper due to the freezing temperatures anyway, but that made him exceedingly angry.
Lucius suddenly decided that it was no use fumbling with the zip, so he hopped across the room, grabbed his wand and blasted the sleeping bag into shreds.
"Eeeeeeekkk!" shrieked Dobby as he hurried as fast as he could, but Lucius was right behind him (stumbling on the shreds that remained on the floor!).
Dobby could feel Lucius' breath on his neck, so made a beeline for a small door with a black mark of the letter D on it. Dobby dived for the door. Lucius reached out to grab Dobby. Dobby slammed the brown door behind him… shutting Lucius' hand in it in the process.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGG!" screamed Lucius. "Just wait till Cissy hears THIS!"

ST. PAUL, Minn.—Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has declared a state of emergency in seven counties that border North Dakota in preparation for flooding in the Red River Valley.
Pawlenty has activated the National Guard to assist in flood preparations. Initially, 25 soldiers will be called on to help in Wilkin, Clay, Marshall, Polk, Norman, Kittson and Traverse counties.
The emergency declaration also directs several state agencies to implement an emergency plan and help local governments.
The latest projections from the National Weather Service say the Red River is expected to crest between up to 40 feet, which could be higher than the historic 1997 spring flood.

All day today, we've noticed some strange behavior on the wireless network at OS X con. Every so often, clients would get a "Connection Refused" when trying to go to a web page, or would be kicked off of iChat spontaneously, only to be reconnected a moment later. Hitting Reload would usually work, but would sometimes show another "Connection Refused", and then just as mysteriously go away. Strangely, ssh connections seemed to work just fine, and never got dropped. Many other people (beyond the usual wireless ultra geeks) also reported similar problems.
We finally got tired of putting up with this state of affairs, and took a look at network traffic directly with tcpdump. What we found was very interesting. (Lines below are broken and highlighted for readability).
root@jojo~# tcpdump -eni en1 host 192.168.2.234
22:51:09.343951 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc 0:a0:c9:00:11:22 0800 74:
win 32768
Here we see a client with the MAC address 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc and IP address 192.168.2.234 make an initial SYN setup request to a web page at 220.127.116.11, via the router with the MAC address 0:a0:c9:00:11:22.
22:51:09.344882 0:30:65:42:23:ff 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc 0800 54:
220.127.116.11.80 > 192.168.2.234.52774: R 0:0(0) ack
4010194417 win 0 (DF)
22:51:09.345665 0:30:65:42:23:ff 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc 0800 54:
188.8.131.52.80 > 192.168.2.234.52774: R 0:0(0) ack
1 win 0 (DF)
What's this? Almost immediately (about .8ms later), a different host entirely (0:30:65:42:23:ff) sends two TCP RESET packets back to the client machine. How rude! Of course, the client machine aborts the current connection attempt (as a "Connection Reset by Peer") and forgets about it.
22:51:09.417171 0:a0:c9:00:11:22 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc 0800 74:
1491529510:1491529510(0) ack
4010194417 win 65535
Next we see the router (at 0:a0:c9:00:11:22) returning with the SYN ACK from the original web page...
22:51:09.418044 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc 0:a0:c9:00:11:22 0800 54:
4010194417:4010194417(0) win 0
...which of course the client naturally refuses (sending a RESET back to the web site), since it has already received a RESET from the misbehaving peer!
22:51:09.863614 0:30:65:aa:bb:cc 0:a0:c9:00:11:22 0800 74:
4246974705:4246974705(0) win 32768
And finally, since the connection didn't go through the first time, the client retries, and the cycle repeats again, and again, and again... Until the client's browser finally gives up a few seconds later.
The rude machine that sent the gratuitous RESETs above (0:30:65:42:23:ff) was actually my own laptop. But by logging traffic for a while, we found that arbitrary hosts on the wireless segment were also sending RESETs. What was the common variable on all of these machines? What we have been able to determine is that if any host on a wireless network is both running the Jaguar Firewall and running a program that throws the AirPort into promiscuous mode (like tcpdump, ngrep, etherpeg, or other network monitoring tool) then that machine will send arbitrary TCP RESETs for every packet that it sees on the wireless, even if it wasn't destined for itself. Likely, this is because something in the firewall code sees the packets as a local destination (as the card is in promiscuous mode), even though it's not really a local destination. This also explains why ssh connections were unaffected: most people have an exception for ssh in their firewall rules, and so packets destined for port 22 (the ssh port) wouldn't ever get matched, and so wouldn't get rejected.
This is an exceedingly easy thing to do, especially at this conference (where people like me are working with firewalls, monitoring tools, and wireless networks, and there are also many active wireless clients!) It is possible that this behavior would manifest itself on a wired network as well, if all of the clients involved were connected to a network hub (but not a switch). As wireless APs necessarily act as a hub, every client can see the traffic of every other, and hence can send responses to packets that weren't destined for them. Unfortunately, we don't have a hub to test with here at the conference.
Turning off firewalling immediately eliminates the problem, and turning it back on recreates it reliably. This is very odd behavior, as filtered packets should normally be dropped on the floor (and we should certainly not automatically send RESETs to addresses that aren't involved with a locally bound address).
As Cliff Skolnick (who instigated tracking down the above strangeness) also points out, there is even more dementia when OS X 10.2 is set up as a router. As part of a nifty hack he's presenting that enables a Bluetooth enabled Palm to use the network through his Titanium and over its wireless network to get to the Internet, he needs to enable packet forwarding:
root@jojo~# sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
Now, since he's using a Titanium, he isn't using the internal AirPort card (as the wireless range is, well, not what it could be) but instead is using an external PCMCIA card for his network connection. As soon as routing is enabled and promiscuous mode is turned on (say, by simply running tcpdump), it suddenly attempts to send ICMP redirects on every ICMP packet it sees on the wireless segment, redirecting them to the router it was destined for in the first place. This generates a huge amount of inadvertent traffic, with very little effort:

Quitting tcpdump immediately makes this problem go away. This is very unexpected network behavior, and certainly bears more examination...
So, to sum up:
- If you're running promiscuous mode tools, do not run a firewall in OS X 10.2
- If you're acting as a router... DON'T run promiscuous mode utilities!
- If you're at OS X con and are running Etherpeg (or ethereal or ngrep or ettercap or ntop any other utility that throws the card into promiscuous mode), and are running routing or firewalling, we will hunt you down and make you knock it off. ;)
Note that the actual MAC and IP addresses have been changed to protect the innocent. Thanks to Cliff Skolnick and the bunch of people hanging out on the mezzanine that helped get to the bottom of this! If you read this, and you're at the conference, help spread the word to any other curious Etherpeg aficionados who may have their Firewall turned on...
Have you seen this strange behavior on Jaguar?

I have seen this strange behaviour
on wired ethernet. I thought it was a bug with chimera, but I've also had problems with my mail client (getting a wrong password error that mysteriously fixes itself). I'll try running the utilities mentioned here to see if I can find a similar pattern.
2002-10-02 11:25:35
yes, I have seen this on a wired network as well
First, big thanks for the explanation
2002-10-02 20:12:03
Rude Firewall behavior
I had a similar problem. I have a G4 wired to a
router, an Airport that just routes packets to RF,
a sleeping power book using wireless and PPOE DSL on the
other side of the router. I was getting connection
refused and just like you, and had to try twice to access
a site. Turing off the Firewall fixed this
also. As far as I can see I was not running any
ethernet utilities just two browsers (Cyberdog and Mozilla)
2002-10-02 20:44:35
oh, yeah, I've seen it
I posted about this on the Apple support forums a few days ago, and I just added a link to this article to prove I'm not crazy.
2002-10-03 06:03:49
Underlying flaw in BSD stack
I've seen this on wired networks as well.
2002-10-03 18:10:48
X 10.1.5, Airport in Pismo to WAP; Windows on Ethernet; both to Router, Asante DSL -- same thing
Same problem's been bedviling our home setup -- Alcatel DSL modem to a Linksys router; thence by ethernet to a Win laptop and by wireless to the Airport card in the Pismo.
2002-10-05 06:20:18
Seen simular things
Especially with 10.1, I saw very evil things when I put an iface in promiscuous mode. RSTs, destunreach, etc.
2002-10-08 06:12:52
Resets in Jaguar Stack
I've run into this as well (spent a day trying to figure out why our Sun boxes had all of a sudden stopped accepting connections). Had the netowrk down to the two main servers and a dell/linux box and my Pismo. Looked at the MAC addresses of the resets and noticed that although the IP was from the intended target the MAC was wrong, it was me!
2002-10-08 09:16:48
Firewall hiccups even without promiscuous mode
There also seem to be conditions where the Jaguar firewall drops packets in a completely erratic manner. Don't know if this is related to the problem described here.
There's a thread in the BrickHouse support forum:
2002-10-09 06:22:48
I have the same problem at home
I have an iBook and a Titanium that have the same problem. I have an old Airport base station. My browser is Mozilla. If I have the firewall turned on for the Titanium, my iBook gives me the "connection refused" and it stops when I turn it off, or if I put the Titanium to sleep. This does not happen if the firewall is turned on for the iBook however.
2003-01-18 06:21:41
I don't think it's Jaguar either...
I've seen similar problems, and they predate jaguar.

Create a signature holiday dish.
Holidays only happen once a year and you have one moment in time to create a signature holiday dish that people can look forward to. When it comes to your holiday dish, allow the dish to be a reflection of your family and their traditions. Each family has a different profile, so why not let your food speak about your roots and your culture during the holidays. Bring in your favorite signature dish that taste good and that you are known for. If you love enchiladas, make that. If you love chow main, create that. If you love Italian dishes, like me - cook that! Creating a signature dish represents who you are.
Have kids help cook meals.
I'm a huge proponent of having kids in the kitchen, helping while you're cooking. I have five grandchildren and I love for each of them to help when it's time to make a holiday dinner. Give kids something to do that isn't tedious, but also fun and really contributes to the meal. If they are age appropriate, allow them to peel or they can pluck. Kids can also assemble together portions of the meal or put the finishing touches on dessert.
Send guests home with festive take out boxes.
Sending your guests home with festive take out boxes is a great way to send them home with a little something special from dinner. It's an extension of what the dinner they had earlier. Put the leftovers in a box in appropriate portions and divide it up among your guests Make sure the boxes are a reflection of the party. Since we're doing a holiday themed party, our boxes reflect the season.
Stuffato al Barolo
Serves 6 or more
5- pound boneless beef roast, flat iron, chuck, or
bottom round, trimmed of fat
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt or kosher salt, or to taste
A cup extra- virgin olive oil
2 medium onions (1 pound total), peeled and quartered
3 medium carrots (½ pound total), peeled and cut into 2- inch wedges
4 medium stalks celery (½ pound total), cut into 2-inch chunks
6 plump cloves garlic, peeled
2 branches fresh rosemary with lots of needles
6 large fresh sage leaves
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 ounce dried porcini slices (about 1 cup, loosely packed)
2 bottles Barolo (750 ml each), or as needed
2 cups beef stock, or as needed
Heat the oven to 250 degrees F with a rack set in the center.
Season all surfaces of the roast with half the salt.
Pour the olive oil into a large, heavy braiser and set over medium- high heat.
Lay roast in and brown it, until caramelized all over. Remove to a platter.
Drop in the cut vegetables and garlic cloves, toss to coat with oil, and spread out in the pan.
Drop in rosemary, sage leaves, grated nutmeg, peppercorns, dried porcini, and remaining teaspoon salt, and toss all together.
Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping up the browned meat bits on the pan bottom, just until the vegetables soften; then lower the heat.
Push the vegetables to the sides and return the roast to the pan, laying it flat on the bottom.
Pour in the bottles of wine and any meat juices that collected on the platter.
Roast should be at least half submerged— add beef stock as needed.
Cover the pot, and heat until the wine is steaming but not boiling.
Uncover the pan, and place it in the oven.
After 30 minutes, rotate the roast so the exposed meat is now submerged in the braising liquid.
Braise this way, turning the meat in the pan every 30 minutes, for about 3 hours, until fork- tender.
Liquid should not boil— if it does, pour in some cold water to stop the bubbling, and lower the oven temperature.
After 2½ hours, check the beef. It should be fork tender. Take the pan from the oven.
Remove the meat to a platter, with intact carrot and celery pieces to serve as a garnish.
Skim any fat from the braising juices, heat to a boil, and reduce to a saucy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
Pour through a sieve set over a clean container.
Press the juices from the strained herbs and vegetable pieces.
Pour in any juices from the meat platter, and season the sauce to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve
Slice meat crosswise (easiest when it is cool).
Pour a shallow layer of sauce in a wide skillet, and lay the slices in, overlapping.
Heat the sauce to bubbling, spooning it over the beef, so the slices are lightly coated.
Lift them with a broad spatula and slide onto a warm platter, fanned out.
Heat the carrots and celery in the sauce.
Zucca Gialla Marinata
Serves 6 or more as an appetizer or a side dish
1 cup apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt, or more to taste
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon extra- virgin olive oil
2- pound butternut squash
1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
10 to 20 fresh basil leaves, shredded
Mix the vinegar, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt together in a small saucepan.
Simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced by half.
Remove from the heat, drop in the garlic slices, and let the marinade cool.
Stir in the olive oil.
Slice the squash in half lengthwise, scrape out all the seeds.
Peel the halves; with cut side down, cut crosswise into inch- thick half- rounds.
Pour a thin layer of vegetable oil into a deep skillet, and set over medium- high heat.
When oil sizzles on contact with the squash, fill the pan with a layer of slices, spaced slightly apart. Fry for about 3 minutes on the first side, then flip the slices over.
Fry on the second side another 2 or 3 minutes, until the slices are cooked through (easy to pierce with the tines of a fork), crisped on the surface, and caramelized on the edges.
Lift out the slices with a slotted spoon, draining off oil, and lay them on paper towels.
Sprinkle some of the remaining salt lightly on the hot slices.
Fry up all the squash, in batches.
Arrange a single layer of fried squash in the bottom of the marinating dish, and scatter some of the shredded basil leaves on top.
Stir up the marinade, and drizzle a couple of spoonful's over squash.
Continue to layer the squash in the dish, topping each layer of fried slices with basil leaves, and garlic marinade.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top layer of squash.
Wrap the dish in plastic, and marinate the squash for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight in
the refrigerator; let it return to room temperature before serving.
Serves 6
2 cups seedless red grapes
1 cup sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
2 cup Moscato wine
½ vanilla pod, split lengthwise
2 tablespoons apricot jam
3 firm but ripe Bosc pears
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place grapes in a baking dish. Combine the sugar, lemon juice, Moscato, vanilla beans from the pod, and apricot jam in a bowl.
Stir until blended.
Pour this over the grapes.
Cut each pear in half through the core, and remove cores and seeds.
Nestle the pear halves, cut side up, into the grapes.
Bake until the pears are tender and the liquid around the grapes is thick and syrupy, about 50 minutes.
Remove the pears, and let stand for about 10 minutes.
Serve them with some of the grapes and their liquid spooned around them.

One of the kindest things an animal lover can do is to take in an abused animal but there are obvious challenges that arise in these situations. Neglected or physically or emotionally abused animals often have a number of social and behavioral problems that can be difficult to overcome. When you take in an abused pet, you are responsible for showing that animal enough love and support so it can live a happy and fulfilled life.
Abused animals have serious issues with trust and can be socially withdrawn, lethargic, and even aggressive. When they are exposed to new environments they are reluctant to explore and demonstrate a wide range of behavioral issues from inappropriate toileting to barking and whining. If you've decided to take care of an abused animal you should prepare yourself for a long road to recovery. While you may be able to instill trust in your pet within a few weeks, it could take months or even longer to put your abused pet at ease with other humans and animals.
Indeed, caring for an abused animal requires a lot of patience and you have to be ready to accept your pet as it is. Always avoid situations that would cause fear or anxiety for your animal and never use punishment as a behavioral deterrent. The fact that positive reinforcement is much more effective for behavioral modification notwithstanding, an animal that is continually punished is unlikely to rehabilitate. Always make love and support your first approach so that your new pet will bond with you more quickly.
Finally, remember to stay focused. As already mentioned, you have to have a lot of patience to rehabilitate an abused animal and they're not going to get better on your terms. Try to put your pet at ease in stressful situations, feed them and exercise them properly, and you'll be well on your way to a happy pet.

The following is part of Pivotal Events that was published for our subscribers May 21, 2009.
Signs Of The Times:
Last Year:
"Is the Financial Crisis Over?"
This was the headline on the Investment Round Table held in Singapore on May 15, 2008. Jesper Koll, the head of Tantallon Research in Japan, gushed about the Fed's handling of last year's crisis:
"US policymakers deserve the Nobel Prize for applied economics. The policy response to financial asset deflation was not only extremely fast, but extremely well coordinated... [And] the second-round effects of asset deflation have been contained."
There is something about interventionist theories that to certain mentalities seems the equivalent to cat nip - particularly in May, which can often record a financial "silly season".
Well, we are not sure about Koll's count on "second-round" effects, but by our count this is the first big rebound out of a classic fall crash, that typically become enthusiastic in May. This was the case in 1930 and 1874.
Also, there is another "count" running. The high for the stock market was in October 2007, which was some 20 months ago. Twenty months after the end of the bubbles in September 1929 and September 1873 counts out to May of 1931 and May of 1875 when those post-bubble contractions began another nasty phase.
With appropriately-timed "joy" being expressed now, another turn to disaster seems difficult to avoid.

This Year:
News reports show considerable contrast. Some are of economic disaster, but by way of always late reporting are of an historical nature. Others, with more immediacy, are very bullish.

You can feel the excitement. The financial world is as it ought to be and last fall's classic crash was just a modest speed bump on prosperity's natural road. However, we have been expecting a classic rebound out to around May - and this we have, such that the S&P has generated a good overbought on our Summation thing. This is within a downtrend. The Upside Exhaustion readings register at cyclical highs.
Stock market sentiment is high, and flying with official sentiment about the economy. Support has also been expected from stronger base metal and crude oil prices, which is the case. Of course, this would be accompanied by the elixir of a weaker dollar.
We are reaching extremes for the move, and now we look for change. One big one would be the S&P setting a new weekly low, but there could be others before that.
Of interest is yesterday's downtick in metal prices. Zinc fell 4.7% as lead plummeted 6%, which makes one think about lead canaries in a coal mine.
There is some irony in this section's opening paragraph about things being as they ought to be. The street thinks that this "ought" to last, ours is that it is the set up for the next phase of the contraction that has been likely to become evident after June.
Of course, not all sectors will peak at the same time, and our advice is that while the panics provided buying opportunity this month's action is providing the exit.
More specifically, we bought the banks (BKX) in early March for the rebound, and exited the position at the double in mid-April. On April 23 we noted that the high needed a test and that one was exuberant on the rush to 43. Taking out 36 would turn the bank index down.
Our proprietary Bank Trading Guide, which turned up from 120 early in the year rallied to 154 on May 12. This has corrected to 149 and if this turns down it would be a technical "sell" on most banks.
Base Metal Prices extended the decline today, encompassing all five that we monitor. After plunging 6% yesterday, lead fell 1% today, which says that the canary died. Our index (excluding nickel) reached 423 on April 15, corrected to 371 at the end of April. The rebound made it to 425 on May 7, and is at 399 today. The 6% decline is interesting and taking out 385 sets the downtrend.
Our May 7 edition concluded: "Momentum for metals is at levels seen at previous important highs and for stocks it is exceptional - at the right time for selling." That edition also noted the Upside Exhaustion reading for copper, that had not been seen since the cyclical high two years ago. The red metal reached 4.25 and a test and rolling top would be the killer pattern. This is working out.
Mining stocks (SPTMN) set their high at 609 on May 8, and slumped to 494 on Friday. The test made it to 574 and, obviously, taking out 494 sets the downtrend.
We bought the sector at as low as 178 in November and December on the crash as well as on the seasonal low. The target has been the initial rebound out of a crash to around May, as well as the seasonal rally into spring. It is time to be absolutely out and traders to play the short side.

California court upholds Jackson's custody of kids
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An appeals court on Wednesday
reinstated an order granting Michael Jackson sole custody of
his two children with ex-wife Debbie Rowe, despite her concerns
over the singer's child molestation trial.
California's 2nd District Court of Appeals ruled that Rowe,
who in 2001 signed away her parental rights to the 47-year-old
performer's two oldest children, Michael Jr. and Paris, had no
legal grounds to terminate that arrangement.
never lived with the self-styled King of Pop, persuaded a Los
Angeles Superior Court judge to overturn the child custody
agreement in 2004 on legal grounds.
Rowe's petition cited accusations of child molestation
against Jackson and his association with the Nation of Islam,
whose members briefly provided security for the singer during
the trial.
The case ended with Jackson's acquittal in June of 2005.
After the lower court refused Jackson's request to overturn
that order, he appealed to the 2nd District, which ruled in
favor of the entertainer and held that the original order
terminating Rowe's parental rights should stand.
Rowe, who was working as a medical assistant for a
dermatologist when she met Jackson, was called as a prosecution
witness in his trial but defended him on the stand, saying that
he was kind, selfless and "generous to a fault."
Jackson, who has spent much of his time since the trial in
Bahrain, has a third child, Prince Michael II, by an unknown
He was married to Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis
Presley, in the mid-1990s, but the couple had no children

Welcome to the Parish of Hesket in the Forest
Hesket Parish, in the County of Cumbria is proud of its heritage as part of the Ancient Forest of Inglewood. It is the second largest of Eden District's fifty three Parish Councils and eighteen Parish Meetings. The present electorate is 2130 although this changes almost monthly. To the south is Penrith, the largest town in Eden while Carlisle, the Capital Town of Cumbria lies to the North.
The Parish stretches nine miles along the A6 road from Wragmire Moss in the North almost to Mounsey Bank in the South. At its widest it is almost six miles from East to West.
It should be noted that, because of the ancient boundaries some places mentioned are actually outside the Parish although they are inherent to its structure e.g. Ivegill Church, School and Village Hall are in the Parish of Skelton. Conversely Ivegill Church is part of the Inglewood Group of Churches together with Ainstable, (in Ainstable Parish) Calthwaite and High Hesket. Plumpton Church however in Hesket Parish is part of the Ecclesiastical Parish of Penrith.
The Parish consists of three Wards, Armathwaite, Calthwaite and Southwaite, each being represented by five elected members, making a total of fifteen Councillors. Also in attendance at meetings are two representatives from Eden District Council together with the Cumbria County Councillor for Hesket and Greystoke. Meetings are held bi-monthly in Low Hesket Village Hall at 7.30 pm, normally on the second Tuesday of the Month beginning with the Annual Meeting in May. Members of the public are always welcome and can, with prior arrangement with the clerk, address the meeting for a maximum of five minutes.
Parish Councils are required to hold at least four meetings each year which are open to the public, one of which must be an Annual Meeting of the full Council. Parish Councils have certain powers and responsibilities under statute including for example, the maintenance of community buildings. They usually employ a Parish Clerk and/or other staff to carry out these duties. They also have power to raise money (a precept) through the local Council Tax and have a duty to provide accounts.
An archive of the documents from the Council can be found on the Council Document Page.

Having problems with your Acer Aspire™ T180 PC Desktop ?
Problem with moniter
\015 I have had the monitor for only a few weeks, but earlier today, i went to plug in my USB Keyboard and they screen turned diffrent shads of blue then the laptop turned off, i have tried to reset it up, but it doesn't seem to want to work, the light on the moniter keeps going a red/white color on it, even if i unplug it and plug back in the power it doesn't seem to do anything to it\015
Answers :
Techguru2009: You need to reset the bios to defaults and make sure all devices are connected before you turn your computer on. Make sure in the bios setup that the setting for the keyboard is usb support. If this does not work then you might have a faulty video card. Or you might need to reinstall the monitor in the operating system. If you are running windows operating system click on start button, administrative tools folder, select computer management. Alternative, click on the run command on the start menu and type compmgmt.msc. When the program starts click on device manager. On the right side of pane click on monitors. Find all monitors right click on each one and unistall all of them. When you restart your computer the operating system should recognize plug and play monitor and intall it automatically. I hope this method works for you.

Boeing Co. (BA) and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. won $900 million in contracts from NASA to develop spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts, the agency said.
Boeing received a $460 million award, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said in a press release today. SpaceX, led by billionaire Elon Musk, got a $440 million agreement, and Sierra Nevada Corp. won $213 million.
Two of the companies will probably be picked to build the vehicles to transport crew to the International Space Station, said John Logsdon, a professor and founder of George Washington University's Space Policy Institute.
"This is an important step," he said in an interview. "These are the substitutes for the shuttle."
Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK), based in Arlington, Virginia, was among the companies that lost bids.
The U.S. retired its shuttle fleet last year and relies on countries such as Russia to ferry astronauts and supplies to the space station. The administration wants the private sector to take over those jobs so NASA can focus on missions to asteroids and Mars.
Russian Rides
NASA pays about $63 million per seat on Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
"We're in this kind of embarrassing situation of depending on Russia for crew transportation," Logsdon said. "These systems are the way out of that."
The latest funding is the third and final phase of a program to design and develop the privately operated vehicles.
Excluding the funding announced today, NASA has awarded $365 million since 2009 for work under its commercial crew program.
"We have selected three companies that will help keep us on track to end the outsourcing of human spaceflight and create high-paying jobs in Florida and elsewhere across the country," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said during a press briefing at Kennedy Space Centerin Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Boeing, based in Chicago, has about 250 employees working on the program in Texas, California and Florida, mostly in Houston, Paula Korn, a company spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. With the new funding, Boeing sees that figure increasing to about 350 in 2012 and to about 450 in 2013, she said.
Bullet-Shaped Capsules
After the system shifts from design to production in 2015 or 2016, the company expects to have about 550 employees at Kennedy Space Center, Korn said.
Both Boeing and Hawthorne, California-based SpaceX are developing bullet-shaped capsules that launch atop rockets and are capable of carrying seven astronauts. Sierra Nevada, based in Sparks, Nevada, is building a shuttle-like vehicle that is lifted by a rocket and lands like an airplane.
SpaceX expects its first manned flight in 2015, two years before NASA plans to begin regular manned missions to the space station using commercial craft.
The company on May 25 became the first to dock a private unmanned ship with the station. SpaceX and Orbital Sciences Corp. (ORB), based in Dulles, Virginia, have won $3.5 billion in NASA awards as part of a separate program to deliver cargo to the station.
Losing Bidders
Seven companies competed for the latest round of funding, William Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for NASA's human exploration and operations directorate, said today during a separate press conference. The four losing bidders were Alliant, Space Operations Inc., American Aerospace Corp. and Space Design Inc., he said.
"The stronger proposals were really the three we talked about," he said.
George Torres, a spokesman for Alliant Techsystems, said in an e-mail that the company was "disappointed" it wasn't selected. It teamed up with Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) and a unit of European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. to develop a rocket called Liberty to compete for U.S. business.
Torres said "it's too early" to say whether the company will seek to challenge the decision.
