So there I was, Saturday afternoon, helping my daughter put her shoes on after gymnastics class and I overhear one parent say to another: "Good luck tonight." I look up, and guess who's there picking up his daughter? Yankee Manager Joe Girardi. Now I'm a Mets fan of course, but it is pretty cool that, on the afternoon of a playoff game day no less, Girardi is picking up his daughter from class. Good for you Joe!

How Far In Advance Can I Bake My Cupcakes?
Baking By hollyberry91 Updated 2 Sep 2010 , 4:29am by Suzisweet
I have some cupcakes that go with a cake due saturday. Is it too early to bake tonight? Do you keep them at room temp or the fridge? It is going to take several evenings for me to decorate them and the cake so i need to bake as early as i can. Thanks!
Also my liners tend to come unattached any tips for that?
Please please reply any advice appreciated!
I am not 100% sure but bake them today, wrap them in plastic wrap and freeze them.
For the liners two things seem to be the biggest culprits, cheap liners...I've only had this happen with the new Michael's celebrate line which I think is crap...design completely faded and the liners came off.
Second, for very moist or high fat content cupcakes sometimes the liners come off. How long do you let your cupcakes cool in the pan? If you let them sit too long then condensation forms and that could effect the liners as well.
As far as baking in advance cupcakes can dry out quick. I did an experiment last week with left over batter. Put the left over batter in cupcake liners in my cupcake pan, froze for a couple of hours, placed in ziploc freezer bags and froze for a week. When I needed them, pooped them into my pan and straight into the over. Worked like a charm. In my mind I felt the cupcakes were a bit more dense but that could be me just over thinking it because I knew I froze them.
Also these are doctored cake mixes, I'm not sure how scratch batter would handle being frozen. I got the idea to freeze the batter here on CC
Hope that helps.
Some cupcake advice from Cook's Illustrated magazine:
What's the Best Way to Freeze Baked Cupcakes?
When freezing baked cupcakes, we wanted to prevent the common problems of freezer burn, dryness, and gummy tops. Because the texture and consistency of frostings and icings can change drastically in the freezer, only plain (unfrosted) cupcakes should be frozen. Once thawed, they can be topped or decorated as desired.
We tried several methods of storing, freezing, and thawing our favorite yellow cupcakes. We froze them--individually and in groups of four--in four different ways: in a plastic zipper-lock bag with most of the air removed, in plastic wrap, in foil, and in plastic wrap and foil. After a week in the freezer, we took the cupcakes out to thaw on the countertop for 1 1/2 hours until they reached room temperature; half of each sample was kept wrapped and the other half unwrapped.
Thawing the cupcakes wrapped--whether enclosed in foil, plastic wrap, or both or left in a zipper-lock bag--allowed condensation to form between the wrapper and the tops, which turned gooey. Those that were unwrapped before thawing were as good as new. In terms of taste, there was little to differentiate one storage method from another. For longer periods of storage, where the likelihood of freezer burn increases, we recommend double-wrapping cupcakes in plastic wrap and foil (in groups or individually) before placing them in the freezer. And make sure to unwrap them before thawing.
Hope you don't have too many to wrap and freeze!
Thank you so much for all the info! Im going to try freezing them! And i've been using the plain white ones from micheal's i think they are wilton. Gonna try another brand! Thanks!!
Underbaking can cause the papers to peel off also. If you check on the cupcake forum you will see a 4 page discussion on this topic. My test and experience for has been always underbaking. Others will say the amount of fat, but I have not found that after making an extremely buttery cake recipe in the cupcake liners they still held. It is only when I underbake that I get the paper peel away.
Sorry you did not get a speedy answer, but I notice there was only a difference of 30 minutes between your initial post and your last bump. I find it takes a little bit longer to get a response than that, especially on the cupcake board. Plus last night I was baking cupcakes, so didn't have time to come here.
I have luck leaving them on the cooling rack, popping them in the freezer for an hour, then stacking them in groups of 6, double-wrapping them in plastic, then foil. That way when you take them out of the freezer they separate easily and don't dent each other.
Wow, this is great info. I was about to (and probably still will) test freeze a batch of cupcakes for an October wedding. There will be alot and they will have to travel so I figured I wanted to get them done here where I feel comfortable doing my thing.
I also LOVE and will try (I am a scratch baker) the freeze the batter in the cup trick...that is so clever; hope it works with my recipes!

It's World Wide Wednesday! Here's what's happening the world of foster care and adoption around the web:
- The National Child Traumatic Stress Network has created these fact sheets for parents whose children have been affected by domestic violence. The set of 10 fact sheets gets to the heart of the experiences and needs of these children and families, and offers education in support of their resilience and recovery.
- Adoption at the Movies checks out Aging Out – How Foster Teens Can (and Can't) Make It On Their Own, a PBS documentary film.
- Foster parent Diane Behm posts about foster family planning on the Kid Hero blog.
- "Why Adopted Children Need to Know Their Story," by Angie Johnston, an adopted adult and mother, was released in May by Bethany Christian Services. It is a resource for parents focused on how to talk with their adopted children about their histories, and it explains the primary benefits to the children of doing so – a sense of being, well-being and self-acceptance, as well as the ability to give and receive love.

Craig City Council April 8 meeting recap
At their regular bi-monthly meeting Tuesday night, the members of Craig City Council:
■ Welcomed Richard VanGytenbeek from Trout Unlimited. VanGytenbeek asked the council to support his organization. "We work to preserve, enhance and protect Colorado cold-water fisheries," he said. VanGytenbeek said Trout Unlimited's approach brought together the ideals of private landowners, sportsman and conservationists.
"Our focus really is on the agricultural, the tourism and the recreational communities," he said.
VanGytenbeek asked the council to consider passing a resolution or writing a letter of support that would back the goals and values of Trout Unlimited.
While complimentary and enthusiastic about aspects of Trout Unlimited, the council set aside that conversation for another meeting.
■ Welcomed Nancy Kramer, program coordinator for the Community Agriculture Alliance, to discuss updates to the Cultural Heritage Tourism program. She shared her expectations for an upcoming project, the Northwest Colorado Energy Trail. The trail would involve building a network of trails with signage that could help tourists better understand the significance of the energy industry within the state's history.
"Hopefully, we can get it kicked off this year," Kramer said.
■ Approved, 6-0 (City Council member Joe Bird was absent), declaring April "National Safe Digging Month" on behalf of Atmos Energy. The declaration is intended to bring awareness to destruction of utility infrastructure that happens if excavators and homeowners don't take the necessary precautions.
■ Approved, 6-0, the extension of a curb and gutter contract with Anson Excavating.
■ Approved, 6-0, a memorandum of understanding with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the University of Colorado Denver and the city of Craig to work together on downtown façade concepts.
The project would cost $3,800 with the city contributing $1,900. The money would go toward bringing designers in to develop concepts for business fronts, particularly on Yampa Avenue. This would give business owners the chance to envision what their building could look like with a face lift.
Councilmember Tony Bohrer supported the idea but expressed hesitation since businesses still would have to pay for the actual façade. "Are the downtown businesses ready to go pocket deep?" he said.

This was an enjoyable discussion following on from our discussion of character names into place names and geography. Many of the issues of sound and association are similar to those we spoke about in the discussion of character names, here.
Sometimes we leave out place names to create a more diffuse sense of place and to help people feel immersed, as though the location belongs to them. Sometimes we use specific places. Sometimes we pick a real-world region, but not a specific city. A specific name can send someone looking on a map. Sometimes we can choose names, like Springfield, that come across as generic, or recombine parts of known place names to create names like Midwich, plausible but not anchored.
If you are thinking of a place name, do some research and figure out where it may have appeared before.
Morphology, the study of parts of words, can be very helpful for place names. Suffixes like -burg and -ville are called morphemes, and can be very useful. You can also create your own suffixes to indicate place.
In Britain, a lot of place names have specific meaning in context. The same is true for Native American Indian names for places, which are often linked to local landmarks and other features of place. The English re-naming of locations created a dissociation between the land and its place names by overlaying an imported context.
Uniformity is to be avoided, because it gives a sense of perfect newness, or of monocultural imposition. However, linguistic consistency is important if you are using a conlang.
When it comes to geography, it's important to consider issues like climate and biomes. Research is critical for developing this aspect of your story. Geographical features like mountains can be good for adventure, but they should make sense within a larger system. If you have a mountain range and one side of it is wet and the other dry, it's good to know why that is the case. Consider your planet's rotation, and consider placing your story in the southern hemisphere (because the fact that we have more land in the northern hemisphere is just coincidence).
Brian noted that before the Renaissance, the placement of north vs. south on the top/bottom of maps was not standardized, and you often saw other approaches. (And different projections!)
If you place your story on a different planet, or in a different place on our planet, consider how that might change the night sky. On our planet, different stars are visible, and they move differently, depending on whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, or near the equator. On other planets, stars could potentially vary in brightness, concentration, etc.
Thanks to all who attended!

Infertility is becoming a widespread problem and thousands of couples around the world are facing diverse problems which require high-tech solutions. Aveya Fertility Clinic surrogacy treatment in delhi India comes up with some state of the art medical techniques to tackle the toughest of medical problems leading to infertility.
Surrogacy comes up as a feasible solution for the women who either do not have a uterus at all or their uterus is not strong enough to carry a full term pregnancy.
Women over the age of 40 years can also be suitable candidates for surrogacy in India and so can be gay couples. Surrogacy is a complicated technique which requires a woman to act as the surrogate mother for a couple, which means that she has to carry their baby in her womb till delivery.
This involves a great deal of legal and financial complications and Aveya is the place to trust to handle all these issues to perfection.
High Success Rate of Surrogacy in Delhi, India at Aveya
At Aveya, there are some leading experts in the field of fertility treatment, which gives the clinic a reputation for a high success rate in various techniques including gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy.
Gestational Surrogacy:
This process involves combining the egg donor and the sperm of the couple in the lab and placing the fertilized embryo in the womb of the surrogate mother so that she can carry the baby full term and deliver it too. The baby is thus, the genetic offspring of the couple, though some other woman carries it till birth.
Traditional Surrogacy:
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother plays the dual role of being the egg donor in addition to carrying the baby in her womb for the entire pregnancy. Instead of the fertilize embryo being placed in her womb by IVF in India, the surrogate has the sperm of the male implanted in her by IUI or ICSI.
Here, factors such as the age of the woman whose egg is being used for the surrogacy as well as the quality of the egg determine the success rate of the technique and Aveya aims to maximize this rate with its specialized medicines and treatment.
The clinic specializes in this technique and has performed a number of successful cases for patients from India and abroad. Aveya takes every case as a unique challenge and provides surrogacy treatment in india according to the needs of the patients.
The main issue in gestational surrogacy is to find the right woman to be the surrogate mother and Aveya assists its patients in this job. Also, it endeavors to make surrogacy as well as all other fertility techniques affordable for the patients so that no one has to give up the joy of parenthood because of high cost of surrogacy treatment.
Treating Patients with Different Techniques
Aveya Surrogacy Clinic India has developed an excellent reputation for treating all kinds of infertility related cases with high success rates.
It has specialist doctors with expertise and experience to handle cases which require treatment techniques such as IVF, IUI, egg donation and egg freezing.
The Surrogacy clinic in India is known for looking after not only the physical needs of its patients but their emotional requirements too, making it a place that follows a holistic approach to help childless couples.
Today, the clinic has become a leading name in the field of infertility treatment in delhi, india, with patients making it here from all over the country and even overseas.

Part of a periodic series of reminders that, when Republicans in the Montana Legislature and members of Montana TEA Party organizations tell you they represent the mainstream of Montana views, they might just be wrong.
Park City Republican member of the House David Howard believe that Obama is little different than German, Japan, and Italy during World War 2. No word on WW2 Hungary, though.
TEA Party stalwart Eric Olsen believes that statues of athletes and entertainers are part of the Marxist agenda. You can criticize my President, my nation, and my party, Mr. Olsen, but leave your lies about baseball off my Internet.
Republican candidate for State Auditor and opponent of government (confused as I am?) Derek Skees might want to work a bit on his campaign messaging just a bit. He's certainly right about that "least capable" bit, but he should probably apologize to the good people of the Flathead. I'm certain they wouldn't vote for him again.
Bob Fanning's running mate, Chuck Baldwin, in his typically understated way, argued that the passage of the NDAA has turned the United States into a war zone:
Pastor Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party's candidate for President in 2008, wrote, "Americans should realize that, coupled with the Patriot Act, the NDAA, for all intents and purposes, completely nullifies a good portion of the Bill of Rights, turns the United States into a war zone, and places US citizens under military rule."
Fanning and Baldwin also have a Confederate-style plan to save Montana:
Which of the Gubernatorial Candidate teams have a plan to set up and execute a sovereign state economy, independent of the federal economy, with our own banking system independent of the Fed Money Monopoly, as needed for our state's survival for when this End Game of Federal, State, and County collapses occur? Only the Fanning/Baldwin team have a contingency plan, or even a clue as to what to do and how to do it. This is the reason for their strong 10th amendment stand as part of their campaign message.
Vote for Reason. Vote for a Democrat.

The Gators, ranked No. 5 in the preseason by Lacrosse Magazine, will play a top-flight international opponent at Donald R. Dizney Stadium.
Tea and crumpets anyone?
The English women's national team is in town to provide the opposition for the Florida lacrosse team in an exhibition match at UF's Donald R. Dizney Stadium at 6:30 this evening.
While the season opener at North Carolina Feb. 11 is still more than two weeks away, head coach Amanda O'Leary is anxious to see how her Gators, ranked No. 5 in the preseason by Lacrosse Magazine, handle the challenge of playing a top-flight international opponent.
"England is our first international competition ever, so we're very, very excited to hit the field," she said. "I think we're just looking to see where we are at this point in time. We've been practicing for about two and a half weeks, so I think it's going to be a good gauge as to where we are offensively."
The Gators are coming off a record-setting second season in which they posted seven wins against ranked teams en route to rising to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association top 10 faster than any team in poll history.
UF became the highest-ranked, second-year program ever on April 25, 2011, when Florida was ranked No. 2 following an upset of powerhouse Northwestern, winner of six of the last seven NCAA titles. It was the Wildcats' first American Lacrosse Conference regular-season loss since 2004.
The Gators went on to win their first ALC regular-season crown with a perfect 5-0 league ledger and earned their first bid to the NCAA Tournament, where No. 4 seed UF defeated No. 7 Stanford, 13-11, before falling to No. 5 Duke, 13-9, in the quarterfinals.
Florida returns 17 players from that 16-4 squad, including 11 starters, while adding the nation's No. 3-ranked recruiting class. Leading the way are three juniors who earned first-team All-ALC honors in attackers Kitty Cullen and Ashley Bruns and defender Sam Farrell.
Cullen, a first-team All-America who finished second in the nation in goals (77) and fifth in points (86), was the 2011 ALC Player of the Year and was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award, soccer's version of the Heisman. Farrell earned second-team All-America honors while Bruns was a third-team honoree.
UF's home opener is Feb. 15 against Jacksonville, and the Gators will host the ALC Tournament for the first time May 3-5.
"We're looking forward to the season," said O'Leary, the 2011 ALC Coach of the Year.
"We're still very young. It's one of those things where we need to stay healthy. Hopefully we'll be very successful."

Still Waiting on Real Time Regulation 3 Years after Flash Crash, May 6th, 2010
On May 6th, 2010, the U.S. stock markets experienced an unusual decline (and an immediate upswing) that temporarily erased $1 trillion in market value (the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged about 1000 points) and puzzled both actors and experts following the markets. Given the ongoing controversy about "flash orders" and its portrayed usage by high-frequency traders, this incident was quickly referred as the flash crash and just as quickly blame fell on the electronic trading industry. While it is true that some high-frequency trading firms stopped running their algorithms when the decline started (human traders stopped participating in the markets in Black Monday as well), some of them stayed in the market, and helped the markets recover just as quickly as the decline happened.
Fast forward two years and we find a twit from the Associated Press with supposedly breaking news that President Obama was injured due to explosions at the White House. That report made $136 billion in market value temporarily disappear, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average quickly dropping 150 points before swinging back.
Examples of dramatic swings can go all the way back to the origins of stock markets. We only need to take a look at Black Monday, October 19th, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 508 points, 22.61%; by the end of October, stock markets in the United States had fallen by 22.68%, not showing any improvement for many weeks. Meanwhile, on May 6th, the Dow Jones had regained most of the drop only twenty minutes later.
Like major technology innovations in the past, computer trading was blamed for Black Monday back in 1987; as observed by economist Richard Roll though, program trading strategies were used primarily in the United States, and not in markets such as Australia and Hong Kong where the crisis started. Therefore, it is unsurprising by now that high-frequency trading has been blamed for the flash crash, the now called Twitter crash, and mini-flash crashes of certain stocks, commodities and currencies.
As Manoj Narang, CEO, Tradeworx, says in my book The Speed Traders, no matter what regulators do, there will be times when herd-like behavior among long-term investors will all be stampeding for the exits at the same time, and simply there won't be enough high-frequency trading to cover the demand for liquidity. That is exactly what happened on May 6th, as described in painstaking detail in the CFTC/SEC report of September 30th, 2010; the report made clear that a mutual fund, identified by Reuters back in May 14 as Waddell & Reed Financial Inc., initiated a program to sell a total of 75,000 E-Mini contracts (valued at approximately $4.1 billion), certainly influenced by the pessimism in the markets due to street protests in Greece, among other reasons; the computer algorithm used to trade the position in the futures markets was set to target an execution rate set to 9% of the trading volume calculated over the previous minute, but without regard to price or time. Similarly, we will always experience technology and human errors. Dave Cummings, Chairman, Tradebot, would ask about the flash crash, "Who puts in a $4.1 billion order without a limit price?" That was the catalyst that initiated the flash crash. Knight Capital Group Inc.'s $440 million trading loss in August 1st, 2012, when the firm lost approximately $10 million per minute, is another recent example that comes to mind.
On March 7th, 2013, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced Regulation SCI (Systems Compliance and Integrity). As explained by Commissioner Luis A. Aguilar, the proposed rule would move beyond the current voluntary program and require entities to establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that its systems have adequate levels of capacity, integrity, resiliency, availability, and security to maintain the entity's operational capability and promote the maintenance of fair and orderly markets, mandate participation in scheduled testing of the operation of the entity's business continuity and disaster recovery plans, including backup systems, and coordinate such testing on an industry- or sector-wide basis with other entities, and finally make, keep, and preserve records relating to the matters covered by Regulation SCI, and provide them to Commission representatives upon request.
Electronic trading, like any other area of finance, should have sensible regulations imposed to promote sound trading practices and protect the average American investor from predatory behavior. If a market participant who does not use high-frequency trading believes that he or she cannot enter into fair transactions, then that individual will not invest in that market. But regulators could restore trust in the market without eliminating high-speed trading. They simply must be armed to analyze trading activity in real time.
In an area of finance predicated on speed, regulation must be as well. Real-time information would allow regulators to see everything that is occurring in the markets, no matter how quickly the order information is being posted and transactions are occurring. This would require significant commitments to invest in both human capital and information technology, but the investment is worthwhile: it is vital for regulators to level the playing field of electronic trading in general.
Real-time policing for potential malfeasance is the most efficient way to regulate high-frequency trading. Analysis of real-time data would provide for effective regulation of these trades. This in turn would provide peace of mind for market participants big and small.
Having spoken with professionals in the world's most important financial centers, I can attest that America's capital markets continue being the envy of the world, thanks to the innovation people like high-frequency traders, educated in the country's top schools, bring to the markets. Let's allow innovations like high-frequency trading to continue and regulators to police them accordingly, and not try to ban them, as vocal activists tried once with major innovations such as automobiles and derivatives.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
The Correction in the US Equities Markets Nobody Wants to Talk About
Stocks in the US markets slipped on Friday, ending the Dow Jones Industrial Average's (DJIA) longest winning streak since 1996, just after snapping a 10-day run. Data from Thomson Reuters' Lipper service showed that investors in U.S.-based funds had poured $11.26 billion of new cash into stock funds this last week, the most since late January. The DJIA slipped 25.03 points, or 0.17 percent, to 14,514.11 at the close. Meanwhile, it was announced that the fewest workers on record were fired in January and job openings rebounded, showing employers were gaining confidence the U.S. expansion would be sustained.
According to some pundits, recent market activity is essentially driven by positive corporate earnings. The S&P500 Price/Earnings (PE) ratio is currently slightly high at 16.5, if we compare with past indicators. The median S&P500 Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) PE ratio has been about 14.5 over the last 100 years; average is around 16. It was during much of 2009 when the disconnect between price and TTM earnings was so extreme that the P/E ratio was in triple digits, as high as the 120s. Going back to the 1870's, the average P/E ratio has been about 15; therefore, the US equity markets are not excessively valued, leaving some room for further growth.
Other pundits point to the Federal Reserve's determination to continue stimulating the economy with increased liquidity. Mohammed Apabhai, head of Asia trading at Citigroup Global Markets, favors this train of thought. He has noted that there is a 70 percent correlation between stock market performance and liquidity, "whether it's through the promise of lower rates, QE (Quantitative Easing) or promise of more QE." The Federal Reserve has launched three rounds of Quantitative Easing since the financial crisis hit in 2008.
More likely, both factors are in play, very good corporate earnings and monetary policy that pushes investors to take risks in equities. So is the earnings momentum sustainable? Unfortunately, savings from the smaller share of the pie from labor, government spending and earnings coming from emerging markets (EM) outside the US are all factors that will be curtailed at some moment. Is the Fed eager to continue being the huge player in this equation? Some of its members are increasingly worried about the effectiveness of the continued QE; if the labor market recovers, as the January numbers showed, the Fed most probably might be ending its bond purchases soon.
As pointed out by James Saft, wages in the US have taken a smaller and smaller piece of the pie; now below 44pc of GDP and dropping, down several percentage points since 1999. That is in part the consequence of globalization and the offshoring of jobs. However, the labor which can be offshored largely has already been and the likely trend is for new manufacturing technologies to start pushing jobs back into the US. As has been of national knowledge as well, there is a real danger of declining government spending. A dollar spent by the government is a dollar that supports household income, and consumption, and of course corporate profits; there will be less dollars starting this month thank to the sequester, a series of spending cuts and tax increases aimed at reducing the budget deficit.
Emerging markets are looking overstretched heading into the second quarter, Barclays Capital said in a report dated March 15, pointing out that the cyclical recoveries in EM have slowed down. Consensus growth forecasts (according to Bloomberg) have been revised down by 0.75 percentage points on average since mid-2012. EM equities have been slow to react to these developments due partly to the continued inflows into the asset class from retail clients. The correction has started recently and the performance by country year to date has been mixed, but the most pronounced selloffs have been associated with the largest revisions to GDP growth forecasts. Adding to this dire situation, the economies of emerging markets grew at a slower pace in February than the month before, according to HSBC's monthly purchasing managers' index. The PMI recorded a level of 52.3, down from 53.8 in January, its lowest since August. The index covers 16 leading emerging markets, including India, Brazil and China, which all saw their rate of growth fall. Investors had been questioning whether emerging markets, whose growth depends in part on exports to mature markets, could continue to expand at fast rates of almost 10% in some cases.
What the equity markets want indeed is stable and/or predictably increasing US profits and the Fed to stay in the bond markets. Saft ironically suggested that markets' best hope might be a cut in government spending deep enough to kill job growth and indefinitely extend QE, something that nobody else would agree with. Instead, markets would be happy with a bit of positive news today followed by another bit of negative news tomorrow. Unfortunately for the markets, profits will start showing stagnation starting with first quarter results. Federal Reserve said in September 2012, when QE3 was announced, that it would start pumping $40 billion a month to purchase agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) until the labor market improves substantially. When will the Fed determine that the job market has made enough progress to reduce stimulus? The numbers for February will prove paramount in this regard. As these two important factors converge in a nightmarish scenario, equities markets should beware of the ensuing correction, coming as early as in the second quarter.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Is High-Frequency Trading the Root of our Problems? It is the Economy, Stupid!
Beyond the memories of the recent financial crisis and doubts about the safety and fairness of the equity markets, events such as the Flash Crash of May 2010, the hugely distressing Facebook NASDAQ initial public offering and trading malfunctions at Knight Capital and Nasdaq OMX were wrongly associated with high-frequency trading (HFT) and characterized as shocks to the psyche of average investors. The around $130 billion outflows from domestic equity mutual funds in 2012 led to Joe Saluzzi, co-head of trading at Themis Trading, to say as recently as of December 2012 that "all of those events are confidence-shattering events."
Furthermore, U.S. congressman Ed Markey tried to persuade the SEC that high-frequency trading was driving investors off the electronic trading highway completely because it was eroding confidence in U.S. markets. Congressman Markey wrote that "sophisticated trading firms can make full use of light speed HFT algorithms, while the ordinary investor day-trading his 401k remains at more terrestrial speeds. There is a real risk that algorithmic trading is making investors hesitant to re-enter the equity markets because they fear that the entire game is rigged." Ultimately, he proposed that HFT should be curtailed immediately.
Data from Trim Tabs Investment Research appeared to support Mr. Saluzzi and Congressman Markey's concerns. Their data show outflows from U.S. equity mutual funds in 2008 hit a record $148 billion; in 2009, confidence appeared to be stabilizing as outflows from U.S. equity mutual funds totaled just $28 billion, only to grow again in 2010 to hit $81 billion, $132 billion in 2011 and last year totaled $130 billion. So what would they say now that the Washington-based Investment Company Institute has revealed that equity mutual funds have gathered $29.9 billion in January's first three weeks, more than for any full month since 2006? Moreover, long-term funds, which exclude money-market vehicles, attracted $64.8 billion in the first three weeks of the month. The previous record was $52.6 billion for all of May 2009.
What was the catalyst of the change in trend? Was HFT suddenly disappearing from the equity markets? As we have suspected in the past, it was the health of the economy. The dysfunctional behavior of the leadership in Washington, leading to a crisis of significant proportions in December 2012, was holding market participants from making investment decisions; when Washington still managed to temporarily solve the fiscal cliff issue, allowing the government to remove its borrowing cap and removing the terrifying prospect of sovereign default, investors rushed into stocks (and bonds too), setting the stage for the biggest month on record for deposits into U.S. mutual funds.
We are looking at forces beyond the niche of algorithmic and high-frequency trading in action here. Signs of improvement in the U.S. economy and a rising stock market (that pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 14,000 on February 1 for the first time since 2007) are now prompting Americans to step up their investments. Hiring climbed in January as well, providing further evidence that the U.S. labor market is making progress. As the economy overall makes progress, inflows will increase as more and more households and companies start to invest in the financial markets, creating a net impact in the real economy, and further reinforcing the performance of the markets. Once again, the phrase "it is the economy, stupid!" remains as valid as ever.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )

Mixing Benzos and Alcohol
Mixing benzodiazepines, or "benzos," with alcohol to enhance a high is extremely dangerous for several reasons, the most harrowing of which is the risk for a coma or fatal overdose. This is due to the effects each drug has on the body. Benzos and alcohol are both depressants, which are substances that can suppress your central nervous system to dangerous, unconscious levels. Abusing these drugs together puts you at a very high risk of bodily injury, risky behavior and even death. If you or a loved one needs help breaking free from an addiction to benzodiazepine and alcohol, help is closer than you think. The medical team at The Recovery Village can help get you the treatment you deserve. The first step is reaching out.
What Are Benzodiazepines?
Benzodiazepines are psychoactive sedatives prescribed to treat mental health disorders such as anxiety and physical issues like seizures and cerebral palsy. Some of the most common benzo brands are Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin and Valium. Benzos should only be taken for a legitimate medical disorder, as they can be addictive, creating a substance use disorder in a short amount of time. Abusing benzodiazepines and alcohol can lead to permanent damage to your mind and body, so seeking help for this kind of dependency is crucial.
What Are the Side Effects of Benzodiazepine and Alcohol?
When you mix benzos with alcohol, you experience the effects of both, but at a much higher, and much more life-threatening level. The consequences of combining these substances can be severe, and in the case of overdose, even fatal. Some common side effects include:
- Slowed breathing
- Impaired cognition
- Immune system depression
- Unconsciousness
- Organ failure
- Coma
Seeking addiction treatment can feel overwhelming. We know the struggle, which is why we're uniquely qualified to help.
Your call is confidential, and there's no pressure to commit to treatment until you're ready. As a voluntary facility, we're here to help you heal -- on your terms. Our sole focus is getting you back to the healthy, sober life you deserve, and we are ready and waiting to answer your questions or concerns 24/7.Speak to an Intake Coordinator now.352.771.2700
Dangers of Mixing Benzodiazepine and Alcohol
The deadly effects of alcohol abuse are multiplied when combined with the life-threatening effects of benzodiazepine addiction. Since you cannot control the effects of taking both drugs together, you may experience extreme bodily harm, with the side effects ranging from loss of coordination and cirrhosis of the liver to stroke and coma.
Benzos and alcohol wreak havoc on your central nervous and immune systems, and over time, can lead to massive organ failure and death. Combining the two substances also increases your chances of addiction to both substances, causing you to use increasing amounts of each to reach the same high — a situation that often ends in fatal overdose.
Outside of these life-threatening consequences for you personally, mixing these two drugs lowers your inhibitions and increases your chances of engaging in risky behavior. This strains relationships with your family and friends, and worse, you might think it's safe to get behind the wheel of a car. You may suffer intense physical damage from combining benzodiazepine and alcohol, but you won't be able to repair relationships broken by your addiction or rescue those in car crashes, should you decide to drive while intoxicated.
Treatment for Benzodiazepine and Alcohol
Mixing benzodiazepine and alcohol is extremely dangerous — for yourself and others. If you or someone you know is struggling to put down the bottle and stop popping pills, downplaying your situation can be harmful, and home-detoxing can be deadly.
It takes much more than willpower to overcome addiction to multiple substances. Safe detox takes a team of medical professionals who know substance use disorders inside and out and will do everything necessary to boost your health. Don't wait until it's too late. Call The Recovery Village today and speak with a compassionate intake coordinator who can get you on the path to healing.

This strange picture of a blob is a completely smooth brain of an adult male. It has no ridges and folds so characteristic to the most complex organ of Homo sapiens. Not much known about the possessor of the brain, except that he ended his days in a psychiatric hospital in Texas in 1970.
Photographer Adam Voorhes spent a year trying to track down more information about this and nearly 100 other human brains held in a collection at the University of Texas, Austin, to no avail. The label on the jar states that the patient had agyria – a lack of gyri and sulci, the ridges and folds formed by the normally wrinkled cerebral cortex.
Typically, this condition leads to death by the age of 10 and can cause muscle spasms. Amazingly, the owner of the brain lived to his adult years.

Rats are much better furry pets for small children (though nonetheless require bond mates). Food plan (Input): While canines are omnivores, ferrets are like cats. Consultants argue,alternatively, on just how way back people first began retaining canines as pets. I liked the story of Danny the German Shepherd, and got goose bumps when I read that the dog by way of the window had the same scar; I do imagine that other animals might detect a non secular presence too.
Since people have completely different compositions than animals, it's therefore essential to learn the place you possibly can finest apply the important oil when using on your animals to yield efficient results. My dogs love the vegetables – considered one of mine eats the sweet potato in her dish before the hamburg!

About Dairyland
Dairyland was founded in 1953 in Madison, Wisconsin as a non-standard auto insurance company offering coverage to those who had difficulty obtaining it elsewhere. In 1966 another homegrown Wisconsin insurer, Sentry Insurance, which remains the parent company of Dairyland to this day, acquired Dairyland. At this time, Dairyland expanded into motorcycle insurance as well.
Dairyland, which was offering coverage in 27 states at the time of the merger, continued expansion, and in 2005 reached 43 states through a merger with Viking Insurance.
Dairyland headquarters is located in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and auto and motorcycle products are offered through local independent agents.
Dairyland Products
As a non-standard insurer, Dairyland is an option for drivers who have a problematic driving record, poor credit, lack of experience, or other issues that prevent them from obtaining insurance on the standard market. They write both auto and motorcycle coverage.
Auto Insurance
Dairyland writes coverage for those who require an SR-22, drivers with DUIs on their record, non-owner policies, and more. Not surprisingly for a non-standard insurer, the website pushes liability coverage-only policies, but also offers full coverage options including comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Towing and labor, rental reimbursement, and even special equipment coverage are also options.
Dairyland offers a range of discounts, some of which are aimed specifically at the non-standard market. Discounts for obtaining a quote ahead of the start date and having previous insurance are incentives for drivers who may have had insurance problems in the past. They also offer common discounts such as multi-car and anti-theft devices.
Dairyland offers a range of payment options for their policies, including a pay-as-you-go option that features a low down payment and minimal monthly payments.
It is not unusual for a non-standard insurer like Dairyland to not offer some of the common options seen at standard insurers, such as accident forgiveness or deductible reduction.
Motorcycle Insurance
DairylandCycle offers coverage for a wide variety of motorcycle types including touring, sport, and cruisers. They also cover mopeds and scooters. Unlike some other companies, they do not have strict limits on the brand or type of motorcycle they cover.
In addition to the basic coverage such as liability, comprehensive, and collision, Dairyland has multiple added value coverage options for motorcycles. These include coverage for added costs during an accident away from home, overseas temporary coverage, and rider training.
Discounts for motorcycle insurance include memberships discounts for rider clubs and groups, multi-policy discounts, and loyalty discounts.
Dairyland Rates
While Dairyland does have an online quoting system, at the time of this review it was not functional. The company touts cheap, affordable car insurance, but as a non-standard insurer, they are unlikely to compete with standard insurance companies. Their rates may be competitive with other non-standard auto and motorcycle companies, but due to the lack of functionality of the quoting system, we were unable to verify this.
Dairyland does not have an option for online claims reporting, but there is a 24/7 toll-free line available for reporting claims.
Unlike many insurers, Dairyland does not push a preferred repair network but instead offers to work with the chosen repair shop of the customer. This is available from every insurer, but a preferred network repair shop is usually presented as offering added benefits.
Dairyland provides a good rundown of their claims service on the website and promises fast, fair claims service. Although there is not much in the way of detail, there are a lot of promises that the process will be easy and smooth.
Ratings and Consumer Reviews
Dairyland is a bit difficult to get a clear picture on when it comes to Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings, as there are multiple pages for each local branch in various states. There is not a BBB page for the head office in Wisconsin, however, there is one for the parent company, Sentry. Sentry is currently not rated by the BBB, and the page states this is because the company is in the process of responding to previously closed complaints. There are 111 complaints on file in the past three years, and 32 were closed in the past 12 months.
Pissed Consumer has 97 reviews of Dairyland, with the vast majority being negative. There are repeated complaints of difficulty with canceling policies, as well as failure to pay claims.
Consumer Affairs has similar complaints on file about this company, with a total of 71 reviews adding up to a one-star overall rating.
While the complaints are not unusual in volume for a nationwide company, there are repeated complaints about the same issues, which always raises some concern. Non-standard insurers, in general, tend to have more complaints, particularly from people involved in accidents with the company's insured drivers. That may be due to the higher-risk nature of the drivers they insure.
The Bottom Line
If you require non-standard insurance, choices are somewhat more limited, therefore Dairyland may land on your list of options. They do appear to have good coverage choices and an open policy on who and what type of vehicle they insure. There are certainly some concerns in the complaints about this company, however, regarding their claims handling and billing practices. Checking reviews for your local Dairyland office may be helpful to the final decision, as local agents and adjusters may vary in their service approach.

Reno, NV
The weather shifted today. There is a winter storm circling Reno, and big dark clouds hover over the mountains in the direction of Donner Pass. Michele called in the evening to say they would not let anyone drive on the interstate heading West unless they had chains on their tires, so she spent ½ the day getting chains… It is still sunny in Reno, only a few drops of rain. But the temperature dropped 20 degrees.
I decided to stay in the Eldorado hotel for another day or so to get my bearings while I plan my next move. It's freezing outside! I spent much of the day driving around Reno and figuring out how to get to Lagomarsino Canyon where the petroglyphs are supposed to resemble textile and basket designs. Getting there seems to be a challenge.
When I called the Bureau of Land Management office in Carson City, they directed me to the Stillwater field office where I spoke to one archeologist who tried to discourage me from looking for petroglyphs all together. She said that they are very difficult to find, and that they are often small and corroded, or returned to the original color of the parent rock. When I brought up Whiskey Flats and the book by Robert Heizer, there was a long pause and she urged me to stick to well-marked locations. Later she said I would get more information from books than actually going on site. The guy at the tourist office in Virgina City told me to ride my mountain bike into the canyon, which sounded like more fun. Only when I finally found the canyon on a map and saw how long it would take I went to for the 4wd option.
I started looking for maps at the BLM office in Reno, which is located in the Reno flats, near the largest Whole Foods Market I have ever seen. There was also Sierra Trading Post, which had a big sale, and I picked up some long underwear and warm socks for the next days trek. The BLM sent me to the Desert Research institute, which is part of the University of Nevada and set on the side of a mountain. It was very windy up there but the sun was shining and I could see most of the breathtaking Reno valley.
Some very nice ladies there helped me to locate the canyon on the series of quadrangle topographic maps. Lagomarsino was in the far bottom right corner of a map printed in the 1960's and is no longer marked on the new maps. This is common for historically significant archeological sites. They don't encourage visitors. But one of the women had been to the canyon many years prior. She helped me xerox the maps and figure out the roads I needed to take to get there. They were long and windy and criss-crossed with other unmarked roads. They were patient and helpful but cautioned me that the roads were not maintained and in very bad condition, and insisted that my vehicle have very high clearance. After we had pretty much figured it out, One of the woman agreed to be my "call person". I was supposed to call her when I got out of the canyon the next evening. This made me feel better about my insane looking plan to 4wd into the middle of nowhere with the storm looming in the mountains.
I drove down the hill to the University to check out a book dedicated to Lagomarsino by Alvin McLane. But by then, it was pretty late in the day and I didn't have much patience left for more research. I went through a rigamarole in the library stacks anyhow and looked over McLane's paper and photographs to get a better sense of the landscape. Then I called the rental car place and was lucky to get the last 4×4 truck for the next day. It was freezing, I was exhausted and the sun was beginning to set. I went back to the hotel and caught the tail end of the Obama/Romney debate.
I like Reno. It is an interesting town. The architecture is mostly brick, but eclectic in style, English Baroque and Victorian. Frederick Delongchomp, started out as a mining engineer and designed most of the government buildings int he 1880's. A minerals town, they have a mining department at the University. Everybody wears car harts and boots, and drives a new truck. They are friendly. There were quite a few hitchhikers walking along the roads—young and old. I saw a few haggard looking veterans-coming down from the mountains to find shelter from the storm. There is something very wild about this place.
It was also becomong obvious to me that our modern roads overlaying the land here, go to different places than the Indian roads. One has to go deep into the hills to see these roads, and I am surprised they are still there, but there are many traces of the Piutes, Shoshone and the Washoe and the Numa and Freemonts before them. The towns: Virginia City, Reno, Dayton, Fallon etc. seem completely out of context to the petroglyph sites. (Note: read Lucy Lippards "Overlay.")The climate has changed, and a modern way of thinking and doing has changed the speed at which we move across the land. Nor do white people don't think like Indians, our priorities are different. Lagomarsino was the summer camp for the Washoe people. But it is also Piute land… I am eager to walk off the beaten track, to get a sense of the land. Strong mountains — strong weather, the tension between the clouds and the mountains is palpable, and visible. I feel so alive! The air is unbelievable crisp. This is the storm that shifts the seasons–from hot dry fall to winter.

Instructors attend these hands-on sessions with their classes during the regular class meeting time. The sessions are most valuable when integrated with a course assignment (e.g. research paper). Sessions can cover refining topics and search terms, locating books, ebooks, journal and newspaper articles, best practices while searching the Internet, or another topic of your choosing.
Sessions are normally held on the 2nd floor of the LRC, although they can also take place at the Davis or West Sacramento Center (Fall/Spring semesters only).

Fiber Camp Friday!!!!!!
The Guild is ever so grateful for Julia's contributions to the Fiber Camp weekend of events. Julia presented her informative lecture on Cowichan knitting, she taught a number of classes, and rounded up a clutch of her designer friends to model their knitwear in Saturday's Fashion Show.
Last Friday, Julia Farwell-Clay spoke to members and guests of the Common Cod Fiber Guild, kicking off the Guild's Fifth Annual Fiber Camp. Julia spoke about the history of the Salish People of British Columbia and the evolution of the Cowichan sweater. She shared images, stories, and sweaters she has collected.
The Cowichan sweater is knit in the round from a bulky, single ply yarn and is known for having a collared front closure with a zipper or buttons, and features bands of geometric and nature based images. Some designs sport a central image of an animal. (See Briggs and Little #5008 Canadian Pride 2010 for a free pattern). If you like to collect obscure knitting books, look for Priscilla Gibson-Roberts' Salish Indian Sweaters, but know that this book is out of print; you'll have to do some detective work at your library in the hopes of tracking it down. Julia has a number of pattern designs which were inspired by this style of knitting, including Tacoma and Fox Love.
Julia began the evening by sharing the tale of her dad and his "winter coat". They lived in a cold region of British Columbia and her dad chose to wear a Cowichan style sweater, never an overcoat. Over the many years that they lived in that climate, she recalled he wore it even in the coldest of weather. When it wasn't being worn, it was relegated to the basement, thanks to the distinctive odor. Just before retiring to Florida, the family had a ceremonial burial of the sweater in the backyard, it was that revered. Cowichan sweaters are truly the durable, insulating and dependable outerwear to choose.
The history of Salish knitting began before the arrival of European settlers. The Salish people used the wool of mountain goats and dog hair and organic materials to spin wool which was woven into thick blankets. These blankets were a form of currency; the number of blankets owned was a direct correlation to one's standing in the community. The Salish traded blankets for goods with people outside their tribe.
When the European settlers moved into the area, they brought sheep and a desire to domesticate and convert the Salish people. One group of nuns taught the women to knit, and women and children began to process more wool and created socks and mittens, and later, underwear and sweaters. These garments provided a source of income for the families. Eventually the Cowichan sweater became a distinctive style.
The samples of Cowichan sweaters that Julia brought were densely knit, with probably 3-4 stitches to the inch. The samples of Fox Love and Tacoma are knit with softer, less dense yarns and the drape creates a more flattering silhouette. Please visit Julia's Ravelry pattern pagen and add some of these sweaters to your Queue and Favorites as a way to show your appreciation of this tradition of knitting.
