NEW YORK » Wall Street's recovery from last month's plunge gained momentum yesterday, with stocks rising as investors looked past widening cracks in the subprime lending sector and bought in response to another parade of acquisition deals.
New Century Financial Corp.'s warning that its lenders had suspended financing initially overshadowed acquisition news involving companies such as Dollar General Corp. and Schering-Plough Inc.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 42.30, or 0.34 percent, to 12,318.62.
Broader stock indicators also rose. The Standard & Poor's 500 index advanced 3.75, or 0.27 percent, to 1,406.60, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 14.74, or 0.62 percent, to 2,402.29.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 3.88, or 0.49 percent, to 789.00.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 2 to 1 on the NYSE, where volume came to 2.62 billion shares, compared with 2.59 billion shares billion Friday.
Bonds rose amid concerns about subprime lenders; the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 4.56 percent from 4.59 percent late Friday. The dollar was mixed against other major currencies, while gold prices fell.
Light, sweet crude settled down $1.14 to $58.91 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The day's buyout news offered support for stocks amid the din over subprime lenders. The concerns about the subprime sector followed a relatively successful week on Wall Street. Stocks etched out gains last week U.S. and overseas markets managed to regain some sense of stability following the sharp pullback late last month. Concerns about subprime lenders still weighed on investors.
New Century Financial Corp. warned yesterday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that all its lenders had cut off short-term funding or announced plans to do so after the subprime mortgage lender wasn't able to make payments. New Century, which relies on short-term borrowings to finance mortgage loan originations and purchases, said it would need about $8.4 billion should it be forced to repurchase all outstanding mortgage loans.
Trading in New Century shares remained halted with news pending for the entire session yesterday. The New York Stock Exchange said it is reviewing the listing status of New Century shares.
Other subprime lenders dropped sharply. Fremont General fell $1.30, or 16.2 percent, to $6.73, while Novastar Financial Inc. fell $1, or 19.1 percent, to $4.24.
In other corporate news, word that private-equity company Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. struck a deal to acquire Dollar General for about $6.87 billion sent the discount retailer sharply higher. Dollar General jumped $4.29, or 25.6 percent, to $21.07.
Schering-Plough rose 10 cents to $23.95 after agreeing to purchase the Organon BioSciences BV pharmaceuticals business of Akzo Nobel NV, the Dutch maker of chemicals and coatings, for $14.5 billion. Akzo climbed $10.02, or 16.5 percent, to $70.83.

Recently I blogged about preventing the rear cabin doors from striking the paintwork on the exterior paintwork. I also mentioned needing to find a way to secure the exterior cabin doors shut when we are outside on the stern. The doors can be secured from the inside using a tower bolt located at the base of one door. However it is very difficult to reach the tower bolt when outside. We want to be able to secure the doors closed when outside during inclement weather. I think I've identified a solution. We will use a cupboard door hook. So on Saturday we purchased a stainless steel cupboard hook and today I fitted it.
The first step was to identify a suitable location somewhere near the top of the doors making it easy to reach. The port (left) door closes after the starboard and has a steel weather strip on the centre edge. Therefore securing the port door will actually secure both doors. The strongest geometric shape is a triangle so I needed to create a triangular shape between the door, cabin bulkhead and the hook. I temporarily located and adjusted the position of the hoop using duct tape.
Once I was satisfied with the position the screw holes were predrilled and the hook fixed in place making sure the hook will actually lift out of the 'eye'.
The triangular shape has been achieved.
The hook has actually worked out rather well. It's strong and the doors are secured without them rattling. Just as I was feeling pleased with myself Jan called me to the bedroom cabin to point out there was some condensation inside the bow end of the locker above the bedhead. You have to accept there will be some condensation inside the boat. It primarily originates from us and the cooking. But it's not acceptable to have any condensation inside a compartment. We must have a cold spot in the insulation. We used to photograph the outside of the buildings with infra-red film down in Antarctica to identify where heat was leaking out and then fix it. I'd like to take an infra-red photo of the exterior of Waiouru and do the same. However what I've done is to remove the ceiling trim from inside the locker. The void behind the trim is insulated with spray foam but I can fill the void with foam. I've purchased a 750ml aerosol of spray foam insulation from eBay and will do it in 3-4 days time. Meanwhile the trim has been left off to allow the condensation to evaporate. Jan has also placed the small dehumidifier in the locker to assist. I'm actually surprised with the appearance of the condensation as it didn't manifest itself last winter.

Can a girl grieving her mother, a boy missing his father, and a thousand-year-old wise-cracking parrot save two worlds?
Samantha and her neighbor, Jake, have no idea that Samantha's best friend, a parrot named Charlie, is a thousand years old. Charlie is also at the center of a secret battle between magical creatures and an ancient, evil man. When Charlie asks Samantha and Jake to protect him, they are chased by monsters from both sides. To save Charlie, and two worlds, Samantha and Jake have twenty-four hours to figure out how to use the supernatural staff, WhipEye, and find the courage to confront what they fear most.
My Thoughts: This story was a lot of fun to read. I found the plot to be interesting and unique. The pace of the book was perfect, I couldn't put it down. My 11-yr-old daughter is reading it now and is as enamored with it as I was. We are both animal lovers and appreciate that they are a large part of the story; and with magic as an element interwoven into the storyline…? Wow! I don't want to give anything away, but I will say that readers of any age will like this book, for sure.
About the Author: Geoffrey Saign can often be found looking for interesting critters, and magic, while swimming, snorkeling, sailing, or hiking in the woods. His passion for nature and wildlife led to his nationally endorsed book, Green Essentials: What You Need to Know About the Environment, as well as his books African Cats and Great Apes. He has a background in biology, assisted in field research with hummingbirds and humpback whales, and sailed as far away as Australia. With more than twenty years of experience working in special education, he has taught adults and children everything from sailing to novel writing. He lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Miguel de Icaza has today announced the release of Moonlight 1.0 Beta 1. This test release brings in Microsoft Media Pack for playing back video and audio files that is a direct decedent of the decoders found in Silverlight 2.0.
For those unfamiliar with Moonlight, it's a Mono-powered open-source implementation of Microsoft's Silverlight, which in turn is a web-browser plug-in that competes with Adobe Flash. Moonlight is a joint project between Novell and Microsoft and was announced last September.
The Moonlight road-map places the final release of Moonlight 1.0 on January 20, 2009. This release should be compatible with the Silverlight 1.0 engine, supports JavaScript, and is compatible with Linux x86 and Linux x86_64. Already in planning for release in September of 2009 is Moonlight 2.0. Moonlight 2.0 will be compatible with Silverlight 2.0 (Microsoft's current stable version), support Microsoft Media Pack 2.0, and better utilize Mono for code execution. The first alpha release of Moonlight 2.0 is expected in March.
For more information on Moonlight 1.0 Beta 1, check out Miguel's blog post.

With influences like Sam Cooke, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill Soul and R&B is no stranger to Canadian born soul singer Melanie Fiona. Dropping the follow up to her debut album The Bridge on March 20, the album entitled The MF Life is what many would called an real old school soul album. Working with producers like No I.D, Salaam Remi, Andrea Martin, Rico Love, Los Da Mystro and T-Pain, Melanie Fiona stayed true to herself and the outcome in my opinion is one of the top 5 R&B album in 3 years. A simple soul album with a touch of new featuring hip hop artist such as J Cole, B.O.B, Nas and T-pain,gave a fresh twist on the album but yet it stayed soulful throughout. Melanie Fiona is doing what most soul and R&B artist are failing to do. Instead of converting herself to pop shes staying true to real soul. The MF Life only selling 34,000 copies in its opening week seemed to impressed many soul fans like myself. So i would like to say Thank You to Melanie Fiona for keeping soul music alive.
Download The MF Life Now!!!

This is a nonobjective abstract painting in encaustic on wood panels, mounted together to create a 20" square painting. This piece employs gold leaf and mica pigments to create a shimmering effect in the textured encaustic paint. The areas where there is no paint is exposed raw wood.
Encaustic paint is made from a combination of beeswax, pigment, and damar, and is worked by heating and melting the materials. Encaustic paintings are very durable (examples remain from ancient Egypt) but they are susceptible to high temperatures, so they should not be hung in a place which may get excessively hot, such as near a radiator or in direct sunlight.

From Unsung Hero "Don Murray on Otis Young" (digital, 5 min.)
THE OUTCASTS "The Long Ride" (1969, 50 min.) 12:00pm [digital]
Don Murray, Otis Young, William Bassett, J. Pat O'Malley; directed by Robert Butler.
This episode of THE OUTCASTS has it all—a nasty villain, the usual tense interactions between Earl (Don Murray) and Jemal (Otis Young), and a pulsating story with a suitably ironic ending. After you see it, you'll agree that THE OUTCASTS should be on DVD!
Don Murray in person interviewed by his sons Christopher and Michael!
CALL ME BY MY RIGHTFUL NAME (1972, 90 min.) 1:00pm [tbd]
Don Murray, Otis Young, Cathy Lee Crosby, Kent Smith, Edith Atwater; directed by Michael Shurtleff.
EXCEPTIONALLY RARE! Don Murray wanted to make this film in 1962 opposite Sidney Poitier, but events conspired to quash those hopes. Ten years later, the story of a friendship between a black man and a white that's ruptured by a twist of fate involving a young woman (Cathy Lee Crosby) offers a slightly altered message, one that bears re-examination in 2014.
– – – –
Part of our SPECIAL WEEKEND WITH DON MURRAY.
Catch every one of these screenings for just $50! Buy an ACCESS-ALL-SHOWS pass!
The Roxie is honored to host a special weekend with Don, still alive and well at 84, where the full range of his work will be displayed—including impossibly rare films that haven't been seen for decades! Don Murray leapt from Broadway to movie stardom opposite Marilyn Monroe in BUS STOP (1956), but his aversion to the Hollywood star system caused his career to go into a completely different direction.
Don will join us on Saturday and Sunday for interviews (including several with his good friend, noted author/interviewer Foster Hirsch, also making his Roxie debut!) (Clips from the upcoming documentary about his life and career, DON MURRAY: UNSUNG HERO, will also be featured between screenings.)
For additional content, including biographical info about Don Murray and a sneak peak at the upcoming documentary UNSUNG HERO, be sure to visit the MID-CENTURY PRODUCTIONS website.

A PCPA Foundation Course will provide an introduction to the theory and principles of Personal Construct Psychology (PCP). As such, it is an ideal way of gaining a working knowledge of PCP which can then be tailored to suit the individual student. The theoretical base of PCP is broad and robust, which makes this an approach with wide applicability in clinical settings, but also in education, supervision, coaching, staff management, staff development, and organisational change. Following completion of the Foundation Course there are opportunities to attend further workshops and supervision in order to help people to begin to apply the theory in their own setting, should they wish.
Personal Construct Psychotherapy, which has developed from PCP, is a flexible approach to therapy which is well suited to consultation and short term work, as well as to more intensive clinical work. It is suitable for all client groups, ages, and ranges of ability. In this age of the quick fix, Personal Construct Psychotherapy is often useful when other therapies have failed to produce sustained improvement.
The PCPA Foundation Course has been run on an annual basis each spring in Coventry for some years. From time to time, there are also PCPA run courses elsewhere in the UK. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to discuss the possibility of PCPA running a course in your region. The course in Coventry is taught by tutors who are all HCPC registered and have many years of experience in PCP. Between them, they have a range of publications about their therapeutic work using PCP. The current tutors in Coventry have a range of expertise which includes work with children, adults and older people, in trauma, anger, dementia, autism, voice hearing, in community mental health, and with couples, as well as in management settings. Places are limited in number, which means that the groups are small enough for both good discussions and personalised teaching. The Foundation Course has always contained a large component of practical exercises which help participants to engage well with the materials presented, and the format has now been extended by introducing a seminar format. Participants are expected to prepare for sessions in advance in order to benefit from this.
PCPA Foundation Courses in Coventry generally run on consecutive Thursdays. Fees are kept low to promote easy access. A copy of the Coventry Foundation Course Guide is provided to each attendee.
Personal Construct Courses for post- Foundation level
In 2017 the PCPA Diploma, which gives UKCP registration, was re-approved by the UKCP. Contact Adele Pile for information - firstname.lastname@example.com
PCPA Study Days and other Courses
A programme of PCPA Quarterly Study Days is run in Coventry, typically on the middle Friday of March, June, and September, and in the first week of December each year.

The cost is generally £20 per day.
Other one and two day courses are run from time to time in Coventry. Previous courses are listed in the who we are section of this website . Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for details.
A programme of other courses and study opportunities are planned, primarily for London. Details of all the events are made available on this website.
Other Events
From time to time a variety of seminars and events are held around the UK.
Research Groups
The Northern PCP Research Group has met for 30 years in York on a monthly basis for half a day at the weekend. Contact email@example.com for details.

- Position: Heavy Equipment Operator
- Description:
Until October, 2013, I had been employed in the education industry. I had been considering a career change to heavy industry/ mining for quite some time, but had little idea about how or where to start.
All of my applications went un ‐ responded to. I had no close personal connections with anyone working in the industry, I had no recent employment experience within the industry, and most education pathways that would provide me with the knowledge and experience to make me competitive through the application process were financially impossible for me to take part in. In short, I possessed the determination and drive to reach my goal but lacked the resources and skills necessary to gain an interview and show that I was the person they were looking for.
Upon a visit to the Metis Employment and Training office in Cranbrook, I learned of an opportunity to take part in a program that would afford me the chance I needed to gain these skills. It was a 10 week Heavy Equipment Operator program that would provide students with operating time on excavators, front end loaders, bulldozers, road graders, articulated rock trucks and rubber tire backhoes, as well as daily class time where we would learn about the safety practices, laws and other information that was essential for heavy equipment operators.
This opportunity was the stepping stone I needed to gain a foothold into my new career, and without the financial support of Métis Employment and Training, as well as the personal support and assistance from the great office staff in Cranbrook, I am sure that I would still be struggling with the "how's" and "where's" of beginning my new career.
I am currently working for a construction company in Cranbrook on a project by project basis. I have had some equipment time with them, but I have been working mostly as a laborer. Although this position is not what I have been aiming for, it has been a very good learning experience for me, allowing me to gain exposure and working knowledge within the industry to which I now belong.
I will continue to learn and advance as a heavy equipment operator, and would like to share my appreciation with Métis Employment and Training for helping me with the beginning of this journey.
~ Michael

Collected Poems
Collected Poems
It was in the late summer of 1943 that I picked up a recently published anthology of Canadian poetry and began to go through it. Being at the time at Sandy Bay on Cape Ann, where my "study" window looked out upon the sea, it was perhaps natural that I was suddenly attracted to a sea poem about a whale, which started off with an almost Byronic verve, in what one critic has called "rushing tetrameter." At the top of the page it simply said: "E. J. Pratt: The Cachalot." The poem was apparently in two parts and took five and a half pages. When I finished it I knew I had experienced the thrill of real discovery, something akin to what I felt long years ago when I first chanced upon the entirely different splendid rhetoric of Francis Thompson, and, later, the early sea songs of Masefield. I read the next, shorter poem "Silences," and the poem "The Old Eagle," and a fragment from what proved later to be, in my estimation, one of the most extraordinary poems of this war, "Dunkirk." "Canada has a great and original poet," I thought, remembering that much of the Canadian poetry I had read for years, like much American poetry before the turn of the century, had seemed to me derivative and, save in a few rare instances, not greatly distinguished. I wrote to the Macmillan Company of Canada to find out more about E. J. Pratt.
Today I am fortunate, I think, to count Ned Pratt as one of my best-loved literary friends. I "discovered" him (with eleven books of poetry to his credit!) when he had reached the age of sixty. Yet he is one of the youngest men of my acquaintance in his exuberance, enthusiasm, generosity, and good-fellowship. "The whole secret of genius," a younger poet wrote to me recently, "I am convinced, is vitality. Studying the lives of the great painters convinced me of that." Ned Pratt has enough vitality for ten poets. You have only to read, as I have now . . .

University of Mount Olive fell to Chowan University 4-0 in non-conference men's soccer Thursday at Murfreesboro, N.C. Cooper Gaypia and Trevor Knight recorded three shots apiece to account for half of the Trojans' 12 shots. The match was the season opener for both teams.
The match was scoreless until Chowan broke the deadlock in the 25th minute. The Hawks added a goal off of a corner kick in the 39th minute to take a 2-0 halftime lead, then scored on another corner kick eight minutes into the second half. Chowan capped the scoring with just over 90 seconds left in the contest.
Mount Olive begins a four-match homestand Sunday as the Trojans play host to Goldey-Beacom in non-conference action. Match time is 4 p.m. at Amon Field and follows Mount Olive's women's soccer match against Goldey-Beacom.

As part of my twitter stream (@vinodk_sql), I post a lot of links and resources that I come across. These are mostly from MSDN or from other sources that I find as interesting content. Having said that, there is no one place we can go and find all the information over the internet for getting started series. I found the Work Smart series has a number of interesting documents that are worth a look if you are a beginner or want to start learning a technology. Whenever there is a new release, I look forward for these papers because they are quick to read and give me a great idea to start learning the concepts in detail later. In my experience of more than a decade of IT, I have come to a conclusion that there is no substitute for self learning and exploration. Sky is your limit and your imagination is your limitation to how far you can learn.

We are proud to announce that the Senate just confirmed Maria Contreras-Sweet as our next Administrator of the Small Business Administration. President Obama applauded her confirmation, stating:
In other news, there are only four days left to get health insurance coverage for 2014 at HealthCare.gov or at CuidadoDeSalud.gov before enrollment ends on March 31. Celebrities like Eva Longoria and America Ferrera are doing their part to educate Latinos about the importance of health care. So what can you do to spread the word? If you already have health insurance, tell your friends, family, and co-workers that they need to get covered, too. Visit WH.gov/GetCovered for tips on how to spread the word.
If you haven't signed up yet, the President wants you to get covered today. As the President says, "No one's invincible. We all get sick, or get into accidents. Life happens. But you should never have to worry you'll lose everything to medical bills. That's why health insurance is so important."
As always, please share this information with your networks to help inform the Latino community on the latest news about the Health Insurance Marketplace and other updates.
Thank you,
Jorge NeriAssociate DirectorWhite House Office of Public Engagement
Last week, President Obama delivered remarks before a White House screening of the new feature film "Cesar Chavez," a new biopic of a true American hero who dedicated his life to making our country more just by ensuring farm workers and all working people are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve. President Obama reflected on Chavez's legacy stating, "One of the great lessons of Cesar's life [is] that you don't give up the fight. No matter how long it takes, no matter how long the odds, you keep going, fueled by a simple creed -- sí se puede."
On Cesar Chavez Day, this Monday, March 31, we celebrate one of America's greatest champions for social justice. Along with President Obama issuing a proclamation honoring Cesar Chavez, the White House will honor 10 community leaders who embody the spirit of Cesar E. Chavez's legacy. Each of the Cesar Chavez Champions of Change has committed themselves to improving the lives of others in their communities and across the country.
Tune in here to watch the event live.
The Cesar E. Chavez Champions of Change include community leaders across the country. The honorees include:
Additionally, federal partners such as the Corporation for National and Community Service and the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics are working with state service commissions, schools, and their respective grantees to continue to engage students and other community members in service and educational programming inspired by Chavez's life and work. As well, groups across the country are organizing support for a National Day of Service in honor of Cesar Chavez.
Statement by the President on Immigration ReformLast year, Democrats and Republicans in the Senate came together to pass a commonsense bill to fix our broken immigration system -- a bill that would grow our economy, shrink our deficits, and reward businesses and workers that play by the rules. But so far, Republicans in the House have refused to allow meaningful immigration reform legislation to come up for a vote. Click here to read more.
The Impact of Raising the Minimum Wage on Women and the Importance of Ensuring a Robust Tipped Minimum WagePresident Obama supports raising the minimum wage to help build real, lasting economic security for the middle class and has made it a key part of his plan to create more opportunities for every hardworking American to get ahead in 2014. On Wednesday, March 26, the White House continued to demonstrate support to raise the minimum wage by releasing a new report on the impact of raising the minimum wage on women. Click here to read the full report.
The President Answers Questions About Health Care from the Quora CommunityPresident Obama answered questions on Quora, a leading question-and-answer website, about Affordable Care Act enrollment and how the law affects young people across America. The deadline to enroll for health care coverage for this year is March 31.
Improving Economic Opportunity for Women and Working FamiliesOn Thursday, March 20, President Obama talked about improving economic opportunity for America's women and working families. He made clear that we need "a women's economic agenda that grows our economy for everybody," and that starts with ensuring that America's women get equal pay for equal work.
President Obama Awards the Medal of Honor to 24 Army VeteransOn Tuesday, March 18, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to 24 Army veterans in recognition of their valor during major combat operations in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Each veteran honored had already received the Distinguished Service Cross -- the nation's second-highest military award -- but 19 of them were previously overlooked for the Medal of Honor due to their racial or ethnic backgrounds. The ceremony followed a 12-year Pentagon review, ordered by Congress, of past discrimination in the military.

Today's card is a special one for me. My Grandma was a very active woman in her church and always has been. Her UCW group was like an extended family for her. She spent countless hours working, playing and having fun with an amazing bunch of women. I had the honour of meeting many of them last year when I went down and stamped with a group of them. Well, they put on a wonderful lunch for our family after my Grandma's funeral and I really wanted to do something for them. So I made up this card for the group from my family to say thank you and also a box set of 20 cards (identical to this) that the group can use when needed. It isn't much but hopefully they are put to good use and this shows my Grandma's friends how appreciative we are to them!
Here is the recipe for the card:
- Certainly Celery 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, 2 5/8 x 2 7/8
- Rich Razzleberry - 4 1/8 x 3, 2 3/4 x 3, 5/8 x 3 7/8
- Very Vanilla - 2 3/4 x 2 1/2
- Pale Plum - 1/2 x 3 3/4
- Cottage Wall DSP - 4 x 2 7/8
- Friends 24/7 Stamp Set
- Sorbet Buttons
- Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon - 16 inches
- Old Olive Ink
- Certainly Celery Ink
- Rich Razzleberry Ink
- Dimensionals
- Glue Dots
Here is also a quick video on the card:
Hope you have a wonderful day! Both my boys are just sleeping now and I'm going to enjoy a cup of tea:) Take care,
