WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- The Brandeis baseball team dropped its second-straight pitchers' duel today as the Judges fell to Augustana (Ill.) College, 3-2, at Chain-o-Lakes Park in Winter Haven, Fla., as part of the Russ Matt Invitational. Brandeis falls to 1-2 on the seasonk, while AC moves to 1-0.
The Vikings struck first against Brandeis sophomore Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter Marian) in the opening frame. Leadoff hitter Jacob van Duyne doubled and stole third a batter later. After Brenner got a strikeout for the second out, 1B Grant Stewart struck an RBI single. Augustana added another hit in the inning, but Brenner escaped further damage with a grounder to second.
Double plays hurt the Judges again, as they grounded into twin-killings in the first and fourth inning, but they scratched home a run in the second. With two away, sophomore 3B Rob Trenk (West Orange, N.J./West Orange) ripped a double, the second of his career. Rookie CF Liam O'Connor (Avon, Conn./Avon) followed with an RBI single off of AC's Jared McIntosh. It was the first run batted in of O'Connor's collegiate career.
Both teams had base-runners in their third and fourth innings, but it was Augustana who broke through in the fifth thanks to van Duyne and Stewart. van Duyne singled to lead off and stole second this time. Once again, Brenner retired the next two batters, only to see Stewart make him pay with the RBI base knock.
Brandeis had a wonderful opportunity to even the game in the bottom of the sixth, when senior LF Nick Cortese (Guaynabo, P.R./Baldwin School of Puerto Rico) singled to lead off the inning. He stole second and advanced to third on an errant throw by the catcher, but AC pitcher Jared McIntosh induced two shallow fly balls and a grounder to second to escape with the lead in tact.
Judge sophomore Elio Fernandez (Bronx, N.Y./Fordham Prep) came on in relief of Brenner in the sixth, and stranded a leadoff walk on second after three-straight fly balls. He got two more pop-ups from the Vikings before senior LF Tyler Bernal smacked a home run to provide Augustana with a key insurance run.
The Judges manufactured a run in the bottom of the eighth. With one out, sophomore RF Zach Bardwell (No. Andover, Mass./Central Catholic) drew a walk. Bardwell moved to second on an infield grounder by Cortese and then stole third. Senior catcher Chris Ferro (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) struck for an RBI single to get the Judges back within one. The Judges avoided giving the run back in the ninth when Ferro gunned down Stewart as he was trying to steal third following a double. Brandeis had one last chance in the ninth when Trenk had a two-out single, but AC senior Rick Erickson picked off a pinch runner to end the game.
Trenk led the Judges by going 2-for-4 with a run scored and a double. Cortese also had two of the Judges's seven hits. Augustana finished with 14 hits and four multiple hitters, led by Van Duyne's four hits and three by Stewart. On the hill, McIntosh allowed just six hits in eight innings, striking out three and walking three to earn the win. Brenner scattered 10 Augustana hits and suffered the loss.
Brandeis plays two more games against Augustana in Florida, including tomorrow at 1 p.m.

Do-It-Herself Cottage Style
Borrow inspiration from one girl's labor of love to renovate your own cottage.
Haskell Harris isn't the first woman to fall for good bone structure and more than a hint of trouble. She won't be the last. After all, girls dig scars. But this tale of fixer-upper infatuation paid off with the house of her dreams.
Stormy Beginning
The neon green exterior wasn't blinding enough to hide the cottage's potential when Haskell bought it in 2006. It had a huge lot in an up-and-coming Birmingham neighborhood, great flow, really good bones, and a multitude of windows. Unfortunately, it kept its flaws hidden until the commitment was made.
Related: Pick the Right Exterior Paint Colors
"That first night, my sister [and roommate], Chandler, plugged in her TV, and the socket started smoking and sparking. Then Chandler went to take a shower and we couldn't get anything but mud to come out of the faucet!" Haskell says. "It was like that movie The Money Pit."
It was an inauspicious start, to say the least, but Haskell stuck it out. She worked through rotten floors and walls, faulty wiring, a nonfunctioning kitchen, and bad plumbing. She devoted nights and weekends to her new relationship. She hired and fired a series of contractors before collaborating with mentor and friend John Harrelson, a carpenter. John's wife, Christa, an engineer, gave Haskell advice about hiding her laundry area.
"It was like two angels fell out of the sky. They taught me how to do things for myself that I couldn't afford to do otherwise," Haskell says.
Creativity and Compromise
Months passed during which Haskell lived in her bedroom and ate takeout. Slowly, as finances allowed, things came together. For weeks, Haskell would lapse into something akin to a paint coma, during which life was a blur of color and rollers and brushes. Kitchen cabinets went in, and later a sink and countertops arrived.
Recalling those days, Haskell frequently uses the phrase "like $2" to emphasize the low-cost way in which she made over her "shack." She lists the times when she fell in love anew: upon choosing her budget-friendly gray cabinets; when hand-me-down furnishings from her childhood home fit perfectly; when she discovered the perfect palette in a package of gourmet marshmallows.
"They were the softest, most sophisticated colors I'd ever seen. Pale pink, pale blue, cocoa, cream, and pale gray―I based all the paints on those marshmallows," Haskell says. "The chalky finishes remind me of studying in Italy and visiting old villas and churches. The paint looks like it's been there a long time."
Haskell credits her parents with teaching her that anything can be made beautiful. "Both of my parents are house romantics. After they got married, my dad built a really humble farmhouse for my mom. In my mind, he created the most picturesque spot in the world. There was something about that farm that made my soul feel at ease."
It was in that can-do spirit that Haskell made this once-forlorn shack into a home sweet home.

*This article was written by a guest blogger
So you walked into your local comic shop and saw that Zenescope had launched their latest event, Unleashed. The art looked pretty sweet, so you picked up the first couple issues, read them and was blown away. "This Unleashed book is awesome!" you think to yourself. "I'm gonna pick up more of these Grimm Universe books."
And then you see shelf after shelf of trade paperbacks on the shelf. Thirteen volumes (and counting) of Grimm Fairy Tales. More book with Wonderland in the title than you can count. Neverland. Sinbad. Myths & Legends. It's too much and you feel a trickle of blood run down your nose. Minutes later you end up on the floor, mumbling to yourself that you just didn't know where to start and you end up eating lime jell-o for the rest of your life.
Now, no one wants that, especially the fine folks here at Zenescope.
Which is why I have put together this little primer, a cheat sheet if you will, to help you navigate through this new universe you have discovered. Once we're through, you will have a solid foundation on where to start in the Grimm Universe, a reading order you can follow to help you get caught up, and you will be all set for what is to come in Unleashed. Because, believe me, you do not want to miss it.
The Dream Eater Saga volume 1 & 2
By Raven Gregory
A horror called The Dream Eater has been unleashed on the Grimm Universe and it will take the combined might of all it's heroes to stop the terror before it's too late. But can Sela, Belinda, Baba Yaga and the rest put aside their differences long enough to stop him? Or will this be the end for Grimm Universe as we know it?
The Dream Eater Saga was the first Zenescope crossover and it was a big one. Not only did it gather together all the various characters of the Grimm Universe in one book, but it also shook that universe to it's foundations. The effects can still be felt today and there is no better way to learn all about the Grimm Universe than reading these two amazing volumes.
By Pat Shand and Jason Johnson
The Gods of old have been living among us, biding their time, waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves and make their return. The God of Beauty has decided that she has waited long enough and has begun to recruit other Gods to her side, putting a plan in motion to enslave mankind. Can she be stopped? And what role will Zeus and his son play in the drama?
If you have read Unleashed, than you already know that the Greek Gods are going to play a big role in the events that are to come. But it all started in Godstorm, a miniseries that flew under the radar when it came out, but ended up having HUGE consequences for the Grimm Universe. And it includes the first appearance of The Being (the main bad guy from Unleashed), so what more do you need to know?
Myths & Legends volume 5
By various
Baba Yaga has finally assembled all the pieces of the Sunstone so she cal unleash Helios, the mad Highborn, upon the world. Sela has gathered a group of false-bloods together, including Red Riding Hood, Samantha and more, to try and stop her. But even if they do, can anyone stop Helios, who is bent on watching the world burn?
Myths & Legends volume 5 collects the final issues of the Grimm Fairy Tales spin-off and it went out with a real bang. This is epic level story-telling and wall to wall action starring all the important players in the Grimm Universe. Once you finish it you will have a great feeling for the tone and style of the books Zenescope publishes.
Bad Girls
By Joey Esposito
Baba Yaga. The Goblin Queen. Venus. The Queen of Spades. Alicia, the Mistress of Limbo.
Five of the most powerful, evil women in the Grimm Universe have joined forces to gain control of the Nexus with a plan to use an ancient artifact to unleash the Flesh Reavers and destroy all of humanity. Sela, Samantha, Hook and Red Riding Hood are hopelessly outmatched, out numbered and outgunned.
Sometimes it pays to be a Bad Girl.
Another of Zenescope's "everything and the kitchen sink" event comics, Bad Girls is a great, action packed read that could have been an event all on it's own. Both it and Myths & Legends vol. 5 did a lot to show the different relationships between the characters and foreshadow events that are happening right now. Plus, it's just a really great comic.
Grimm Fairy Tales vol. 13
By various
After the events of Grimm Fairy Tales #75, Sela is lost, alone, and without hope. So when the authorities throw her in jail, she does nothing to stop them thinking that it's what she deserves. But when inmates start dying horribly at the hands of a mysterious entity, she is forced to try and stop them and maybe, begin the long road to redemption in the process.
Sela is the undisputed star of the Grimm Universe and has been since day one, of that there is no question. So if this is all new to you, there is no better place to go if you want to learn all about Sela and what motivates her. It's been said that Sela kicks more ass in one comic than Wonder Woman and Batgirl combined. This is the book to read if you want to find out why.
And there you have it; five books that are the perfect place to start if you are new to the Grimm Universe. So once you finish the opening chapters of Unleashed, head back to your local comic shop for another does of Grimm Fairy Tales.
Because no one wants to see you eating lime jell-o when there are so many other things you could be doing.

Welcome to our new web site!

During this time, print and digital subscribers will not need to log in to view our stories or e-editions.
Outside the Christian Church, the word "advent" is associated with something that is on the brink of coming, such as, "the advent of the fiscal collapse" heard in the news recently. In the Church, though, Advent is a season of waiting, of expectation, hope and preparation.
Advent is the season in the Church which precedes the annual remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ. It begins the fourth Sunday before Christmas, often as in this year, the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The most obvious observance in the Church is marking time by each week lighting one more candle in the Advent Wreath—a circle of greens with four candles lit in succession. On Christmas Day, those candles are replaced with a single white candle in the center—the Christ candle.
Another obvious sign is the color of the season. Often purple has been used for the color of the candles as well as the vestments worn by ministers and the coverings for Altar, pulpit and lectern. Purple is usually used for penitential seasons of the Church, notably Lent, which precedes Easter. Advent was called the "Little Lent" as a time of penitence preparing for Christ's arrival. The English tradition though is to use a deep blue as the color of the season. Equally a color of royalty, blue is the color associated with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and separates Advent's expectation from Lent's penitence.
The Sundays of Advent recall the prophecies of the Hebrew Testament of the coming of Messiah as well as the Annunciation (announcement) of the Archangel Gabriel to Elizabeth and Mary of the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus, his cousin, and the assurance to Zechariah and Joseph (their husbands). To prepare for the coming of Messiah, the story of John is told who proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah and prepared the way for Christ's earthly ministry
With the marking of time, of expectation, the lighting of successive candles (perhaps modeled on the Hanukkah lights), another tradition is counting down the days with an Advent Calendar. Usually a child's entertainment, an Advent Calendar is a two-layered board with a picture of the season on top. It contains 25 numbered windows (from December 1st) which are opened one day at a time. Behind each window can be a verse from the Bible, or more popular with the children, a coin or piece of chocolate. Even in the secular world, we recognize the excitement of children as the days are counted down. Usually it is because of Santa Claus, but the Advent wreath and calendar help them focus on the "reason for the season."

Now that Stack Exchange extends beyond the profesional Stack Overflow/Server Fault sites to hobby/interest sites should we be thinking about the amount and nature of personal information that is shown/shared by default?
My Stack Overflow account has my real name and location, real professional interests in the biography and is linked to my CV on Careers. There may be hobby/interest Stack Exchange sites that I don't want to be quite so intimately linked to my job.
I could make up a totally anonymous userid for those sites - but perhaps we should have some sort of wizard on linking a new Stack Exchange site asking what information to share, and a way of seeing exactly what another visitor can see about us?
Can we also have a way of associating/de-associating certain sites? At the moment the only option is to link/unlink all of them.
Edit: I think it's a legitimate concern that an IT professional Stack Overflow/Server Fault/Careers poster may be more aware of privacy, linking accounts and shared information than a 12-year-old posting to justinbeiber.stackexchange (something I know Jeff has planned). This might be a good time for Stack Exchange to consider the privacy implications of the current information sharing model, that's all.

Sybil appears to be very down in today's strip (12/27). Is this general angst? the Holiday Blues? or something more serious?
As someone who has experienced clinical depression personally, I can kind of understand what our favorite vixen is going through. Even with everything going right for once, she still finds no happiness, and she can't enjoy what she has.
This goes way beyond "greed for material things," or any other petty desires. Perhaps Fenchurch is right, and that sharing her (comparatively) good fortune with others is the course to follow for inner peace.
Either that, or modern pharmaceuticals (which was the route I took!).
I don't know why, but after seeing the strip, I keep hearing Jethro Tull's "Christmas Song" in my mind.
"How can you laugh when you're own mother's hungry?
And how can you smile when you're reasons for smiling are wrong?"
<sigh> If it's too late to wish you Happy Holidays...then how about "May you at least not be miserable...?

Re : the 411 on Preeclampsia
Thanks for your informative link about PIH. I too am a mother of an angel, Evan Caleb, who was stillbirth on 08-23-10 due to HELLP (Class III) at 33 weeks. Congratulations on your second pregnancy! If you don't mind sharing, but how soon after your loss did you start trying and what was the reccomendation of your OB or high risk doctor? Did you undergo genetic counseling? Wishing and praying that all goes well with this pregnancy. Thanks in advance.

Swimming Pool Blog
Interview with the Consumer Product Safety Commission
by Myles McMorrow, July 21, 2009
Myles McMorrow from Poolcenter.com recently had a 10 question interview with the Consumer Product Safety Commission on what they are doing for the pool industry:
What is your job title so I can let people know who you are?
Kathleen Reilly
US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
Public Affairs Spokesperson
#1 Please describe the overall function of the CPSC and what it does for consumers.
We are the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an independent federal regulatory agency that was created in 1972 by Congress in the Consumer Product Safety Act. In that law, Congress directed the Commission to "protect the public against unreasonable risks of injuries and deaths associated with consumer products."
We have jurisdiction over about 15,000 types of consumer products, from automatic-drip coffee makers to toys to lawn mowers. Some types of products, however, are covered by other federal agencies. For example, cars, trucks and motorcycles are covered by the Department of Transportation; foods, drugs and cosmetics are covered by the Food and Drug Administration; and alcohol, tobacco and firearms are within the jurisdiction of the Department of the Treasury.
What We Do
CPSC works to reduce the risk of injuries and deaths from consumer products by:
• Developing voluntary standards with industry
• Issuing and enforcing mandatory standards; banning consumer products if no feasible standard would adequately protect the public
• Obtaining the recall of products or arranging for their repair
• Conducting research on potential product hazards
• Informing and educating consumers through the media, state and local governments, private organizations, and by responding to consumer inquiries.
#2 What type of things are you all doing in the pool industry as far a laws, recalls, and product testing.
I work predominantly on the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SSA). We are in the process of launching a national information and education campaign with the goal of reducing entrapment incidents and drowning, especially for children.
#3 In a rough ball park how many products have been recalled in the pool industry?
I could not say. I recommend that you see our recall research page http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prerel.html, where you can look into recalled products by type. I am sure there have been many different types of pool-related products recalled.
The P&SSAct does not involve recalls but it does require all public pools and spas to install new anti-entrapment drain covers and in the case of single main drains of a blockable size, or multiple drains that are less than 3 feet apart, a secondary device is needed to prevent a suction incident. See this for more information: http://www.poolsafety.gov/pssa1404guide.pdf.
#4 What was the most dangerous?
I cannot say which pool-related item is more dangerous than another. At the CPSC, we help to prevent injuries and deaths.
#5 Being in the Swimming pool industry, I hear of a lot of people getting hurt around pools each year. How many pool related injuries are reported to you yearly? How many deaths?
Here is a press release with the latest data reports for submersions and entrapments attached to it: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/360.pdf
#6 What would you recommend people themselves can do to help prevent these injuries and loss of life?
One, I would ask everyone to look at this simple booklet on drowning and entrapment prevention: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/360.pdf; and two, I would urge everyone to sign up for the CPSC's recall alerts: https://www.cpsc.gov/cpsclist.aspx.
#7 What products do you recommend every swimming pool should have on hand for preparing for an accident or preventing one?
I am not a pool equipment expert but safety equipment such as new approved drain covers and secondary devices where needed are a must. Offhand I would add: lifesaving equipment, swimming with buddies, a telephone for emergencies, simple CPR instructions. For more I would see the Red Cross or the National Drowning Prevention Foundation's Web site.
#8 You (CPSC) have launched a new website (Poolsafety.gov) devoted to pool safety for the consumer and industry professionals. What are you goals for this new website and what does it have to offer?
Information of drowning and entrapment prevention for families, the pool and spa community, state and local officials and the media. We have safety tips, links to other organizations working on water safety, the Act itself and our staff interpretation, guidelines for complying with the Act, and more.
We will be updating this site with new videos and other information to make it a fully comprehensive pool and spa safety site.
#9 There are many local pool safety laws when it comes to swimming pool codes and they differ town to town and state to state. The CPSC is now in charge of regulating the VGB law when it comes to commercial pools nationwide. Will there be more national pool laws and standards coming for pools?
This is a question for Congress.
What about the residential pool market? We encourage States to adopt the P&SSAct into their pool and spa regulations and to include residential pools, especially new covers on drains and four-sided fencing around residential pools. We will be allocating grant money for education and enforcement to States that adopt the Act's requirements and the perimeter fencing requirement.
#10 Where would you recommend someone goes to find the pool safety laws in their area?
States have different entities in charge of pool and spa regulations but the most likely would be the Departments of Health, Environment or Zoning.

Library Ethics in the 21st Century

Earlier this month I was honored to present at the LIANZA conference (national library conference of New Zealand). I was asked to talk about library ethics in the 21st century as the opening keynote. There were amazing presenters from around New Zealand and the world and I am so happy to have been a small part of this excellent conference. I've been asked to share my slides, so…here they are!

The Weinstein Company has picked up distribution rights for Precious director Lee Daniels' period drama The Butler. The film tells the true story of Eugene Allen, a butler who served at the White House from 1952 to 1986, and Daniels has filled his supporting cast with a number of familiar faces to play the notable persons who walk the halls of the White House throughout this period. The stars of the film, however, are Forrest Whitaker as Allen, Oprah Winfrey as his wife, and David Oyelowo as his son. Though one might think this is an early awards contender acquisition, Daniels' latest film The Paperboy has been viciously panned this year so it's with cautious optimism that I approach The Butler. The film is being readied for release sometime in 2013.
Hit the jump to read the full press release and the check out a new image of Whitaker in character. The film also stars Mariah Carey, John Cusack, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Minka Kelly, Lenny Kravitz, Melissa Leo, James Marsden, Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Redgrave, Alan Rickman, Live Schreiber, and Robin Williams.
Here's the new image followed by the press release:
New York, NY – September 24, 2012 – The Weinstein Company (TWC) announced today that they have acquired U.S. rights from Butler Films to distribute THE BUTLER, directed by Academy Award nominated Lee Daniels (PRECIOUS). A Laura Ziskin Production, THE BUTLER is produced by Pamela Oas Williams, the late Laura Ziskin, Lee Daniels, Buddy Patrick and Cassian Elwes. Executive Producers include Hilary Shor and Adam Merims. It is co-produced by David Jacobson. The announcement was made today by TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein and COO David Glasser.
Comprising this award-winning cast are: Forest Whitaker (THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND), Oprah Winfrey (THE COLOR PURPLE), Mariah Carey (PRECIOUS), John Cusack (THE PAPERBOY), Jane Fonda (ON GOLDEN POND), Cuba Gooding, Jr. (JERRY MAGUIRE), Terrence Howard (HUSTLE & FLOW), Minka Kelly (THE ROOMMATE), Lenny Kravitz (PRECIOUS), Melissa Leo (THE FIGHTER), James Marsden (X-MEN), David Oyelowo (THE PAPERBOY), Alex Pettyfer (MAGIC MIKE), Vanessa Redgrave (CORIOLANUS), Alan Rickman (CBGB), Liev Schreiber (X-MEN), and Robin Williams (GOOD WILL HUNTING).
THE BUTLER, based on the screenplay by Danny Strong & Lee Daniels, is inspired by Wil Haygood's Washington Post article about an African-American man who served as a butler (Whitaker) to eight Presidents in the White House for over thirty years. From this unique vantage point, THE BUTLER traces the dramatic changes that swept American society, from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond, and how those changes affected this man's life and family.
"What moves me most about this man is his quiet nature, grace and unmatched perspective that comes from being in one place – a very powerful one – during what was arguably the period in American history that saw the most change," said Daniels, whose most recent film, THE PAPERBOY, premiered at the 2012 Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals, and will also be featured in this fall's New York Film Festival.
Said Weinstein, "Lee tells stories in a way no one else does. What struck me most about this story is the perspective it comes from, which in this case is the butler- a man who was a fly on the wall for decades in the world's most powerful home. It takes an unbelievable cast like the one that's in place to do this story justice, and we are proud to be given the chance to share this story with the world."
Added Williams, "This has been a passion project for all involved and we are thrilled to be able to see Laura Ziskin's vision for this film realized and know it will be a lasting tribute to her incredible career."
TWC and Butler Films made the deal based on the screenplay by Strong & Daniels. The deal was negotiated by TWC's Glasser and President, Business and Legal Affairs Andrew Kramer, and by Schuyler Moore of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, Cassian Elwes on behalf of Evolution Independent, and CAA on behalf of Butler Films.
The film is currently in production in New Orleans.
THE BUTLER is financed by Windy Hill Pictures, Follow Through Productions, Salamander Media, Salloway Rubenstein Productions/Crystal City Entertainment, Earl W. Stafford, Starstream Films, Yogi Entertainment, and Inner Media Capital. Executive Producers are Michael Finley, Sheila C. Johnson, Brett Johnson, Matthew Salloway, Earl W. Stafford, Jordan Kessler, Liz Destro, R. Bryan Wright, and James T. Bruce IV. Co-Executive Producers are Charles Sauveur Bonan, Allen Frederic, Kim Leadford, Harry I. Martin, Jr., Ari Daniel Pinchot and Jonathan Rubenstein.
As previously announced, THE BUTLER marks a high-profile return to production for Icon UK Group, who also came in as major investors on the project. Len Blavatnik, Aviv Giladi and Vince Holden will also serve as Executive Producers.
CAA packaged the film and is handling North American sales along with Cassian Elwes. The film is being represented by IM Global for international sales.

Cake Make-up – 1124 – 35 g
Cake Make-up
Grimas Cake Make-up is a basic make-up that is easy to apply. It is used for visagie (television, film and photography) and as the basis for water make-up.
Cake Make-up is available in 35-gram boxes.
There are many colours of Cake Make-up: black, white, off-white, grey and a wide range of skin shades, from light to very dark skin. Cake Make-up is not made in bright colours
Cake Make-up adheres best on a non-greasy skin. Clean the skin therefore first with Grimas Cleansing Lotion. Then wipe dry with a tissue. If the skin is somewhat dehydrated or sensitive, you can apply a thin layer of Grimas Under Make-up Base after the cleansing. Do this a few minutes before you start working with the Cake Make-up, so the Under Make-up Base has been completely absorbed into the skin.
Do not use a greasy cream under the Cake Make-up.
You apply Cake Make-up with a slightly damp make-up sponge. If you work with too much moisture, streaks will form. You can press the make-up sponge down onto a tissue to remove any excess moisture.
Take the make-up sponge between the fingertips and squeeze it together to create a round surface. With this surface the make-up can be applied.

This provides an abstraction which deals with configuring and running programs. A Program is a static notion of a known program. A ConfiguredProgram is a Program that has been found on the current machine and is ready to be run (possibly with some user-supplied default args). Configuring a program involves finding its location and if necessary finding its version. There is also a ProgramConfiguration type which holds configured and not-yet configured programs. It is the parameter to lots of actions elsewhere in Cabal that need to look up and run programs. If we had a Cabal monad, the ProgramConfiguration would probably be a reader or state component of it.
The module also defines all the known built-in Programs and the defaultProgramConfiguration which contains them all.
One nice thing about using it is that any program that is registered with Cabal will get some "configure" and ".cabal" helpers like --with-foo-args --foo-path= and extra-foo-args.
There's also good default behavior for trying to find "foo" in PATH, being able to override its location, etc.
There's also a hook for adding programs in a Setup.lhs script. See hookedPrograms in Distribution.Simple.UserHooks. This gives a hook user the ability to get the above flags and such so that they don't have to write all the PATH logic inside Setup.lhs.
|Program and functions for constructing them
Make a simple named program.
By default we'll just search for it in the path and not try to find the version name. You can override these behaviours if necessary, eg:
simpleProgram "foo" { programFindLocation = ... , programFindVersion ... }
|Look for a program on the path.
|Configured program and related functions
|The full path of a configured program.
|Program invocations
|The collection of unconfigured and configured progams
|The default list of programs. These programs are typically used internally to Cabal.
|The collection of configured programs we can run
|Add a known program that we may configure later
|Like userSpecifyPath but for a list of progs and their paths.
|Like userSpecifyPath but for a list of progs and their args.
|Get any extra args that have been previously specified for a program.
|Try to find a configured program
|Update a configured program in the database.
Try to configure a specific program. If the program is already included in the colleciton of unconfigured programs then we use any user-supplied location and arguments. If the program gets configured sucessfully it gets added to the configured collection.
Note that it is not a failure if the program cannot be configured. It's only a failure if the user supplied a location and the program could not be found at that location.
The reason for it not being a failure at this stage is that we don't know up front all the programs we will need, so we try to configure them all. To verify that a program was actually sucessfully configured use requireProgram.
|Try to configure all the known programs that have not yet been configured.
|reconfigure a bunch of programs given new user-specified args. It takes the same inputs as userSpecifyPath and userSpecifyArgs and for all progs with a new path it calls configureProgram.
Check that a program is configured and available to be run.
It raises an exception if the program could not be configured, otherwise it returns the configured program.
Check that a program is configured and available to be run.
Additionally check that the version of the program number is suitable and return it. For example you could require AnyVersion or orLaterVersion (Version [1,0] [])
It raises an exception if the program could not be configured or the version is unsuitable, otherwise it returns the configured program and its version number.

Why have humans populated their universe with unseen beings, imagined places, and supernatural powers? Why have they created elaborate rituals and mythic stories that must be believed in if human life is to prosper? Humans have been trying to find order and meaning in the universe for thousands of years, and their attempts to do so—belief in the supernatural, stories to explain the unknown, and all the types of the behaviors these manifest—are as diverse and creative as anything that can find in popular books and movies.

BOULDER — Colorado is beginning to heal and will welcome back starting right tackle Jack Harris and backup cornerback Yuri Wright.
Harris returns from a concussion suffered in practice Oct. 16 that forced him out of Saturday's 50-6 loss at Southern California. Coach Jon Embree sounded as if the junior will start Saturday at second-ranked Oregon. Redshirt freshman Stephane Nembot replaced him at USC in a game which Embree called one of the line's best of the year.
Wright, one of the true freshman cornerbacks thrown in the fire, has been out with a concussion since Oct. 2. He'll be counted on against an Oregon offense that's second nationally in scoring at 51 points a game.

Double dose of contradictions
I love the small print at the bottom of the banner: "First time customers only." The second time you're a customer, the oxymorons do not apply.
In truth, these money lenders aren't funny. They say they're providing a service to people who don't have other resources. That may be true, but when people get started with check advances, it's hard for them to escape from the trap. The interest rates are exorbitant. The customer may repay the loan and interest after he gets his check -- but then he has to get another loan to make it to the next check.

Ben Heine Art 14 is a part of his series, "Pencil Vs Camera". This surreal work of art shows a sad yet romantic scene captured both through colored pencil and fine art photography. In it, a sad man sits at a bench with a bouquet of lillies in his hand, a broken heart at his feet. His gaze is settled on a beautiful woman in a red dress, herself looking disdraught. The cheerful surroundings of a park in summer belie the somber attitude of this fine art print.

Ben Heine Art 17 is a part of his series "Pencil Vs Camera" in which Ben Heine creates 3D drawings that bring the surreal into the real world when combined with photography. In this whimsical piece, the artist is stepping into a world that appears to be made entirely of stacked cubes, reminiscent of being at the top of many skyscrapers looking down, trying to hop from one to the other without falling to the depths.

French magazine Closer unleashed a new media tornado on Britain's royal family on Friday with a five-page splash of photos showing the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, sunbathing topless with Prince William in the south of France.
Closer, a weekly round-up of celebrity gossip, ran a dozen shots of the Duchess as she slipped off her bikini top, relaxed on a sun lounger and at one point pulled down the back of her bikini bottoms as William rubs sun cream on her.
Under the headline "Oh my God!", the photos show the couple, whose regal yet natural conduct since their April wedding has won them fans worldwide, soaking up the sun on the balcony of a 19th century hunting lodge, oblivious to lurking paparazzi.
The spread is a blow to Buckingham Palace as it tries to move on from a scandal over naked shots of Prince Harry that tarred an image bolstered by Kate and William's wedding, the Queen's 2012 Diamond Jubilee and her Olympic Games appearance.
While Closer defended its decision to publish the photographs, a royal spokesperson called it a grotesque move that had upset the royal couple, currently touring southeast Asia, and said Buckingham Palace was consulting lawyers.
"Their Royal Highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner," a spokesperson for St James' Palace said.
"Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them."
Closer's editor-in-chief Laurence Pieau described the photos as a "beautiful series" that showed a couple in love and were in no way degrading. She said the magazine had more intimate shots from the same series that it opted not to publish.
"There's been an over-reaction to these photos. What we see is a young couple, who just got married, who are very much in love, who are splendid," Pieau told French BFM television.
"She's a real 21st Century princess," she added: "It's a young woman who is topless, the same as you can see on any beach in France or around the world."
Closer, published by Italian company Mondadori, would likely lose any legal case over invasion of privacy, although profits from the issue would likely far exceed any fine faced, likely just a few thousand euros.
"It's without a doubt an invasion of privacy," said Christopher Mesnooh, a U.S. lawyer who practices in France.
"They were on vacation in a friend's chateau. There was no expectation the press would be there. So visibly they have been damaged by the fact the pictures were taken and it is likely a French court would rule in that direction."
The publication — which set off a stream of mostly angry commentary on twitter — reopens a debate over the privacy of Britain's royal family and the freedom of the press weeks after a U.S. website published grainy photos of William's younger brother Harry cavorting naked in a Las Vegas hotel room.
"Harry started the fashion: these days the Windsors take their clothes off," the French magazine quipped in the photo spread, which it claimed as a world exclusive on the couple's mini-vacation in early September.
Dubbing the affair "nipplegate" in some cases, a torrent of twitter commentary on both sides of the English Channel mostly chided Closer for running the shots.
A spoof account for Queen Elizabeth, zQueentUK, which has nearly a million followers, tweeted "Dear The Sun, Don't even sodding think about it," in a mock threat to the British tabloid newspaper that published the nude photos of Prince Harry.
The photos of Harry stained a positive image the Royal family has carefully crafted as it worked to turn the page on Princess Diana's death in 1997 and a raft of scandals at the time including Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson having her toes sucked by a U.S. businessman as she sunbathed topless.
Royal sources said the photo spread was a flashback to the paparazzi chases of Princess Diana, William's mother, making it even more painful for him. "There is a feeling of anger and disbelief," one source said. "We feel there has been a red line crossed with regard to publishing these images."
William and Kate were staying at the Chateau d'Autet near Aix-en-Provence in the Luberon region, whose picture-postcard villages, rolling lavender fields and vineyards have made it a favourite getaway spot for wealthy foreigners.
At one point the Duchess, clearly recognizable in the slightly fuzzy images, stands up and partly peels down her bikini bottoms as William rubs sun lotion on her back.
"The last time we saw Kate and William on a balcony it was for their wedding. But they had more clothes on," reads one photo caption. Another says: "People always say she doesn't need to dress up to look good. Well … Kate is proving this."
Closer said Kate was also spotted smoking a cigarette on the way out of Marseille airport, where the pair arrived on a commercial flight.

Many couples who expect to have a baby soon are afraid to have sex due to the misconception that it could cause harm to the baby. This is not entirely true. If it is a normal pregnancy without any complications, then it is okay to have sex once in a while. However, doing the best sex positions during pregnancy should be thoroughly studied by both couple to know exactly their respective roles during the sexual intercourse.
The role of the partner depends on the kind of position they want to use. Let's take for example the spooning position. In this position, the man is the one who takes the initiative to make the thrusting motion while lying on his side behind the woman's back. The woman's role is merely communicate to the man if it's getting painful or pleasurable. On the other hand, in the woman on top position, the woman is the one taking charge. She positions herself on top of the man, while dictating the rhythm of the act with the upward and downward motion of her body. Just make sure to pause for a while when it gets uncomfortable.
There are other sex positions during pregnancy which every pregnant couple can try. The important thing to bear in mind while doing the deed is to be careful, gentle, and to communicate to your partner even a small sign of discomfort. For a couple who loves each other so dearly, having sex during pregnancy will not only strengthen their relationship but will also build trust for one another.

REDFORD, Mich., Dec. 10 (UPI) -- While at a Michigan auto plant touting his plan to avoid the fiscal cliff, President Obama gave a shout-out to Daimler Trucks for a new investment in the plant.
Daimler Monday announced it was investing $120 million in the Daimler Detroit Diesel plant in Redford, Mich., that will create "115 good, new union jobs building transmissions and turbochargers right here in Redford," Obama said.
"That is great for the plant and it's great for this community," Obama said to loud applause and cheers.
With the investment, Daimler Trucks North America is the only manufacturer in the North America Free Trade Agreement Region with a fully integrated powertrain from its own production, the company said in a release.
The plant already turns out engines and axles. With the investment, the plant soon will be building all the key parts that go into a truck, Obama said.
"No one else is doing that," he said.
"A fully integrated powertrain from a single source is a decisive competitive advantage," said Martin Daum, president and chief executive officer of Daimler Trucks North America. "That is why we decided in favor of the Redford location where our employees work hand in hand in one location."

Preeclampsia, Placenta Problems
A new study out of Sweden has found that moms who experience -- and are hospitalized with -- hyperemesis gravidarum during the second trimester (from 12 to 21 weeks or pregnancy) are more likely to suffer from additional pregnancy complications.
The research
The study found that women who were hospitalized with severe morning sickness, also known as hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), between 12 and 21 weeks, are twice as likely to develop preeclampsia, 1.4 times more likely to give birth to a baby who is small for gestational age, and 3 times more likely to experience placental abruption -- an emergency that occurs when the placenta separates from its home on the uterine wall and can lead to serious complications.
How common is hospitalization?
Fortunately, morning sickness that is severe enough for hospitalization is rare, the study found. Out of over a million pregnant women that were studied, just 1.1 percent were ill enough for hospitalization. Study researcher Marie Bolin from Uppsala University's Department of Women's and Children's Health suggested that there be "an increased alertness and supervision during the pregnancy for development of any adverse outcomes" when HG is experienced during the second trimester.
HG is a problem in and of itself as it can lead to serious dehydration and malnutrition in the mom, and it can also be a factor in preterm birth.
What this means for you
Morning sickness is terrible. And morning sickness that doesn't magically dissipate after the first trimester can be not only terrible, but completely depressing. Some moms are unlucky enough to experience it their entire pregnancy.
Even though it is rare to require hospitalization during the second trimester, if it happens to you, you will likely be monitored a bit more carefully than a normal-risk mama. It doesn't mean these complications will occur for sure, so keep the faith that your care provider will look after you properly.

Place doesn't look like much from the road, but the Peruvian Chicken is some of the best i've ever had. Like the name says, it's crisp and juicy. The fried plantains are amazing as well.
Great value as well. For under $10 you can get half a chicken and two sides which is more than enough for most for lunch.
I always look forward to this place when traveling through the Rockville area.
Thanks Yelpers. This is the best chicken I have had. Simple and delicious. A great find.
YUM! Eating here once will cause addiction, consider yourself warned!
Lip-smacking rotisserie chicken "falls off the bone" at these Peruvian counter joints where fried yucca and other "tasty" sides complete the feast - Still, their real "secret" is a dipping sauce so addictive. It may be one of the :cheapest ways to feed a family.
This place was great. I worked out in advance to bring a group of 30 from a rock climbing Meetup that I host. They set aside a section and it was perfect for my group. People ordered at the counter and food was brought FAST sometimes even before people fully sat down.
The chicken was freaking amazing. The plantains were delicious. The rice and beans were ok. The yucca... yum. I was satiated with a 1/4 but I could see why people would want 1/2 chicken.
It was sooooo good and everyone loved it and wanted to come back. I definitely will.

Later in the video, around the 2:15 mark, you see a burning city draped in an American flag. The burning city appears to be New York, and the footage seems to have been lifted right from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
"Somewhere in the United States, black clouds of smoke are billowing," the caption reads, according to the description on LiveLeak. "It seems that the nest of wickedness is ablaze with the fire started by itself."
Given that a North Koran nuclear test is apparently imminent (in response to UN imposed sanctions), you would think they could at least make a better video, right?

Best Buys: Best buy condos
Special to the Daily
This weeks best buys criteria consists of two bedroom, two bath condos that are at least 1,000 square feet, updated or remodeled, with reasonable association fees and are listed under $300,000.
I have focused on three areas, Wildernest (Silverthorne), Breckenridge and Frisco. The one thing to be aware of is an association fee. What do they cover? Typically they cover cable TV, common area maintenance, exterior insurance, taxes, gas, snow removal, trash pickup and water/sewer. This is quite a good deal for one fee, if you can find a condo that includes heat, that is also a bonus! When you start getting over $500 for association fees, that can add up rather quickly.
Why are some properties higher than others? It totally depends on how well the property has been managed over the years by the association. Look around, is the building maintained, are the grounds maintained? These are signs of a well-run association. Also, beware of special assessments (this could be a red flag if the roof is in need of repair, or the building is falling apart). Several associations have reserve funds to help cover future costs, thus avoiding special assessments.
The first property is located in Wildernest. This area has numerous condos to choose from and typically some good values. The best buy I am referring to is a 1,121-square-foot, two-bed, two-bath condo. This property has been updated and has brand-new windows and patio doors. There is also a carport to protect your car from the snow. There are stainless steel appliances; tile in the entry and this condo has many other upgrades. Also, this property is completely furnished and ready to move in. The association fee of $332 a month even includes the heat. Cynthia Goda of Cynthia Goda Real Estate features this property at $229,000.
The second best buy is located in Breckenridge about five minutes out of town and is on the bus route. This property has just undergone a $100k remodel, which includes new paint, carpet and new wood stove and baseboard heaters. This is a large 1,348-square-foot condo and actually has four bedrooms and two baths. This is a great investment property or even a great place to live. The association fees are $301 a month, which is very reasonable. It also comes with its own washer and dryer, another bonus. Tom Day of Breckenridge Associates features this property at $279,000.
The last property is located in Frisco and has wonderful lake views from the patio. At 1,100 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths, there is plenty of room for your guests. This property is a top-floor condo which has been remodeled with granite countertops, stainless steel kitchen and Brazilian cherry wood floors. The Summit Stage is nearby as well as the bike path. The association fees are $400 a month and include the heat as well as all of the other items previously mentioned. Sharon Siler of ReMax Properties of the Summit features this property at $274,000.

Hi all....A friend has found a pit bull mix in Kansas City. A female 1-2 years, spayed, friendly and potty trained. Her father is ill and they can't have dogs in the house.
I know its a long shot as foster spots are so scarce...but just wondering if any rescues had any spots available? I have a female who is DA towards females and another dog who is gonna have cruciate surgery on Monday so I don't think I could manage a third female right now.
Anyway, if anyone has any idea, please let me know!
Any foster spots?
Why buy from a breeder when there are plenty of homeless pups in shelters???

The Magnificent Seven is a stale tale left on the mercy of gun-power to prop it. We have seen so many cowboy movies hitherto that if there isn't something new to it, it becomes an instant bore. The Magnificent Seven is no different. However, the movie isn't exactly bad either. It hangs around in its mediocrity. Alas! it goes nowhere.
The Magnificent Seven is a remake of the 1960 movie of the same name. However it has nothing new to offer, not even an angle or a culmination point. What it offers is even a washed down version of itself. This new version is like a child's whim where he is trying to create a story to shoot thousands of hooligans. I am afraid, it is almost as if Antoine Fuqua decided to round up everybody just to shoot 'em up.
There aren't any dope shots that are going to pop your eyes out. It doesn't have proper gore either, that could have at least piqued the interest of gore lovers. Not even a clichéd hand to hand combat with the boss. Everything is done by the book. The book here is a gun of course.
There are some crazy hits in the movie nevertheless that are going to leave your jaws wide open. The time when the Gatling gun is brought in, it will have you biting your fingernails. Billy Rocks played by Byung-hun Lee is a complete badass. His swift knife movements are the ones to watch out for.
The Magnificent Seven lacks a proper melodrama for you to actually stop and care for the fallen. You don't feel sorry for the villagers at all. Drama isn't dramatic that gnaws away the element of pain from it. Emma Cullen played by Haley Bennett goes nowhere when you give her dialogues like these:
I seek righteousness. But I will take revenge.
Screenplay reeks purely with witty and cheesy lines that mostly come from The World's Greatest Lover Josh Faraday played convincingly well by Chris Pratt, whose love making we don't get to see, so it ends up becoming a mere assertion. Even though the screenplay comes from the likes of Nic Pizzolatto, we don't end up with anything profound to chew upon. It is one of those factors that take its levels of spectacle down a notch.
Peter Saarsgard as Bartholomew Bogue looks very promising as the villain of the Magnificent Seven, when he starts off with the role. Unfortunately with no substance to back him up, he goes down in an instant. Eventually, as the movie tries to reach that final face-off he lets us down again. All that perversion that he carried throughout goes in a whiff, against the fury of Chisolm, the bounty hunter played by badassery of Denzel Washington. Bogue becomes a villain you forget the moment you leave the theatre.
I love how Vincent D'Onofrio does experiments on himself. This time he creates something different altogether, with that wheezing and breaking voice of his. It becomes hard to tell if Vincent is behind all that flab.
Denzel's character stays extraordinary too with his heroic demeanor. Chris Pratt brings in that element of fun to the movie. Ethan Hawke is good but he carries a jaded plot that washes him down. He goes away only to return again without expanding on his sub-plot. Well, Billy Rocks!
Vasquez played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo though no doubt confident, ends up becoming the least impact maker. It is like he was chosen just for the odd pairing. Martin Sensmeier's Red Harvest is well, red.
The music of The Magnificent Seven will remain the last known work of the legendary James Horner. The legend died in an unfortunate plane crash last year. His music however still lives on and will forever.
With inputs and arrangements by Simon Franglen, the music of The Magnificent Seven stays top-notch throughout. It skips well over the strings of that cowboyish theme, trying its level best to bring the flick to its proper course.
You can preorder the movie here:
I really think it could have been better if there was an unseen card lurking somewhere in the pockets of the director. Or even awe-inspiring theatrics to balance the theme would have done justice. But alas! The Magnificent Seven had none.

Subscribe To Escape From Planet Earth Updates
Maybe it's about time the Die Hard films started looking for a good day to die. Actually, Presidents Day 2013 might be a good choice. The fifth entry in the franchise might have topped the box office this weekend, but given the competition that's not saying much.
Jam packed slate of movies this week. There's a little something for everyone. We've got a Nicholas Sparks for the sappy. Animated for the kids. Another supernatural romance for the teeny-bopper crowd and John McClane for all the true blue, red-blooded Americans out there
Our first animation effort of the year will be The Weinstein Company's Escape From Planet Earth, which will be in theaters on Feb. 14. EW's The Family Room unveiled three character posters for director Cal Brunker's adventure comedy, introducing the blue-skinned heroes from the planet Baab.
Pop culture regularly paints extraterrestrial aliens as forces of evil, creatures who want nothing more than to kill every last living soul on the planet and steal every resource we have. But there is a section of science fiction devoted to the opposite side of that coin - where aliens are actually innocents who are captured, tortured, killed and autopsied by large, mysterious government organizations.
Extraterrestrials have been a frequent visitor to movie theaters the past few years. However, when it comes to family friendly fare like Monsters Vs. Aliens, Megamind, Mars Needs Moms, and Planet 51, they generally haven't been faring too well. Monsters Vs. Aliens and Megamind both scored with critics, but the second proved a disappointment at the box office, while Mars Needs Moms and Planet 51 full-on flopped on both fronts.
Recent animated family features transported audiences to the red planet, where Martians needed our mothers, and to the unusually suburban Planet 51. For the Weinstein Company's next adventure, we're apparently venturing to the fictional planet of Baab, where Brendan Fraser is worshipped as an intergalactic hero and Rob Corddry is the real brains behind the operation.

Easter Delivery for Space Station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Space station astronauts have received a special Easter treat: a cargo ship full of supplies.
The shipment arrived Sunday morning via a Dragon, versus a bunny.
The SpaceX company's cargo ship, Dragon, spent two days chasing the International Space Station following its launch from Cape Canaveral. Astronauts used a robot arm to capture the capsule 260 miles up.
More than 2 tons of food, spacewalking gear and experiments fill the Dragon, including mating fruit flies, a little veggie hothouse and legs for the resident robot. NASA also packed family care packages for the six spacemen.
On Wednesday, the stakes will be even higher when the crew conducts a spacewalk to replace a dead computer. NASA wants a reliable backup in place as soon as possible. This one failed April 11.

Congressional candidate Joe Coors brings back the snapping fingers and the beer and in a new campaign commercial that mentions the attack ads airing against him.
Here's the script:
Seen these nasty attack ads from Congressman Perlmutter and his Washington buddies? That's not me — I'm a Colorado guy who wants to revive free enterprise and save the American dream.
I'm a job provider — ran a company with over 1000 jobs right here at home. Folks need jobs. Washington needs people who know how to create jobs.
Congressman Perlmutter can sling all the mud he wants.
[Negative ad pops up] That's not me.
[Click] [Glass of beer pops up] And that's not me either!
I'm Joe Coors, I approve this message.
Coors is trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter in the 7th Congressional District.

Even though stocks dropped immediately after the Federal Reserve's "Operation Twist" announcement on Wednesday, analysts said the Fed's move means investment opportunities in the world of fixed income, both in corporate bonds and Treasuries themselves.
Investment strategists say the Federal Reserve policymakers' announced goal of bending the Treasury yield curve in order to keep interest rates low and encourage growth opens up some new possibilities, even if it does look like the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has run out of options in its monetary-policy toolbox.
In its Operation Twist announcement, the FOMC specified that by the end of June 2012, the Fed intends to purchase $400 billion of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 6 years to 30 years and to sell an equal amount of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 3 years or less. The Fed also will now reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and mortgage-backed securities back into agency mortgage-backed securities.
What does this easy-monetary policy move mean for bond investors? Here's a roundup of what the strategists are saying:
Doug Roberts, chief investment strategist for ChannelCapitalResearch.com, Shrewsbury, N.J.: "The fear of holding any risky assets…has resulted in a flow of funds into Treasury securities. The supply of U.S. dollars is controlled by the Federal Reserve, which can print U.S. dollars at will to satisfy its debt obligations and maintain low interest rates. The value of the U.S. dollar might suffer considerably, and there could be substantial inflation. This may be linked to the current rise in gold prices.
For those who claim that such a scenario could never occur, one must remember that during World War II, the United States was able to maintain very low interest rates during a time of severe inflation. However, there were substantial restrictions on trade and commerce. Owning gold was also prohibited. U.S. Treasury bonds may also remain attractive when compared with other alternatives. To borrow from Winston Churchill, "Treasury bonds may be the worst investment except for everything else."
Anthony Valeri, fixed-income strategist for LPL Financial, San Diego: Operation Twist is not just an exercise to reduce Treasury yields but also an attempt to motivate investors to buy corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities. By purchasing additional intermediate- and long-term Treasuries, the Fed hopes to reduce the outstanding stock of Treasuries. Reducing supply of such Treasuries would exert pressure on investors to consider other intermediate- and long-term bond options such as corporate bonds and MBS.
Even if Treasury yields do not budge, the Fed could indirectly lower borrowing costs for corporations and residential homeowners/buyers and stimulate the economy by pushing investors into these sectors. At a minimum, the Fed would likely consider Operation Twist a success if it managed to reverse some of the yield spread widening of the past few months. Corporate bonds have actually decreased in price over the past month despite Treasury strength.
Chris Shayne, senior market strategist, BondDesk Group, New York: Given that Treasury and high quality corporate yields are near their lows for the past 50 years, we feel that investors looking for relative value in fixed income should consider purchasing lower rated investment grade corporate bonds. Since the economic troubles started in late July, the yield patterns have all changed considerably.
Spreads over Treasury have uniformly increased for all rating grades except AAA. Spreads for A bonds have widened the most, followed by BBB, and then AA, but the absolute level of yields is still highest for BBBs because they started at a higher point. Yields of top quality investment grade firms, AAA and AA, have fallen along with Treasury yields. However, yields of lower quality IG firms, A and BBB, have risen substantially, exposing a unique buying opportunity for investors in corporate bonds. Investors looking for fixed-income exposure should consider A and BBB corporate bonds to capitalize on the wide spreads and lock in returns.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. - A massive, suggestively shaped flower more than two metres high is blooming in Niagara Falls, Ont. _ the first time it has flowered in Canada.
Experts at the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse say one specimen of the rare Amorphophallus titanum has opened.
But they say the bell-shaped plant won't last long and its centre spike has already started to droop.
By Sunday, it will likely have turned into a "tree-like stalk."
Experts say the unusual flower, whose name means "misshapen phallus," has bloomed in a botanical garden only 21 times.
The plant _ considered the tallest flower species in the world _ gives off a unique smell most often compared to rotting meat.
Parks staff say a second flower is expected to bloom in the coming weeks.
