Track history: From World War II until the end of 1983, this Fontana, California site was home of Kaiser Steel. After Kaiser went bankrupt, the site was left to deteriorate into rusting rubble. In November 1993, Roger Penske and Kaiser Ventures Inc. started discussions on cleaning up the site for a possible superspeedway. On Nov. 22, 1995, after getting race dates from NASCAR and CART, a work force that numbered in the thousands began demolition and construction. More than 21,000 tons of hazardous waste was removed. Then a million more tons of rubble was removed. The final cost of the 2-mile California Speedway was around $120 million.Since then, they have added road courses and a drag strip to the racing complex. The facility hosts NASCAR, IRL, Motorcycle Racing, NHRA and Grand American sports car racing. It is also the home of six different racing schools. In 1998, 15,777 seats were added raising the grandstand capacity to 86,232. The following year, 28 skyboxes were added to the rim of the grandstands, which currently hold about 92,000 fans. There is still plenty of room for expansion at this 568-acre facility. In August 2007, the speedway showcased its multi-million dollar Midway redesign which included Wolfgang Puck's Apex restaurant, a town center and new concert stage.On February 21, 2008, the Automobile Club of Southern California (ACSC) became the title sponsor of the raceway, making Auto Club Speedway the track's official name. The naming rights deal will last for ten years. Also in 2008, ACS added the Camping World Back Lot, a 286-site campground that gives campers the full Hollywood "back lot experience." Campers have various activities, including studio-sponsored movie nights, comfortable common areas, and food stands with a cinematic theme. In October 2010, Fontana hosted its final fall event. Up until that weekend, all 20 Sprint Cup races held at this track had been 500 mile events. Fontana had hosted 2 NSCS races each year since the fall event was added to the schedule in 2004. The October 2010 race was a 400 mile race. Starting in 2011, the track went back to hosting only one NSCS race in March. Just prior to the start of the 2011 season, after seeing the October 400-miler was better received by the fans, NASCAR decided to shorten the Auto Club 500 to a 400-mile Auto Club 400 starting in 2011.Track Quick Facts (courtesy NASCAR Media):Last five winners: Tony Stewart 3/25/12, Kevin Harvick 3/27/11, Tony Stewart 10/10/10, Jimmie Johnson 2/21/10 and Jimmie Johnson 10/11/09.First Cup start here (Active drivers): Greg Biffle 4/28/02, J.J. Yeley 9/5/04 and Kevin Conway 2/21/10.First Cup pole: Joe Nemechek 6/22/97, Kyle Busch 2/27/05 and Carl Edwards 9/4/05.First Cup win: Jimmie Johnson 4/28/02 and Kyle Busch 9/4/05.June 22, 1997: Joe Nemechek put the No. 42 Felix Sabates owned Chevrolet Monte Carlo on the pole for the 1997 California 500 Presented by NAPA with a qualifying lap of 183.015 mph. Jeff Gordon, driving the Hendrick Motorsports No. 24 Chevrolet at an average race speed of 155.012 mph, took the inaugural win.March 27, 2011: Kevin Harvick won the Auto Club 400. It was the No. 29 Chevrolet driver's first win of 2011 and first victory in 18 races at the Auto Club Speedway. Harvick, who started the race 24th in the lineup, only led the final lap. Drivers leading five or more laps: Pole-sitter No. 42 Juan Pablo Montoya seven laps, finished 10th; No. 39 Ryan Newman eight laps, finished fifth; No.14 Tony Stewart 11 laps, finished 13th; No. 11 Denny Hamlin 15 laps, blew an engine, credited with a 39th; and Kyle Busch led the most (151, finished third).March 25, 2012: Tony Stewart won the Auto Club 400, his 46th victory in 469 Sprint Cup races. It was the No. 14 Chevrolet driver's second victory and second victory in 21 races at Auto Club Speedway. The race was rain-shortened after 129 of the 200 scheduled laps were completed. Drivers leading one or more laps: Pole-sitter No. 11 Denny Hamlin two laps, finished 11th; No. 48 Jimmie Johnson two laps, finished 10th; No. 24 Jeff Gordon three laps, finished 26th; Race-winner Stewart 42 laps; and No. 18 Kyle Busch led the most (80 of the 129 laps) and finished second.Fantasy games won't allow you to pick all track favorites so Mid-Pack Attack is here to help. A mid-packer may not win the race but has as good a shot at a top 20 finish as track favorites Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart. There were 43 cars on the preliminary entry list for this weekend's Cup race. Here are our picks for Sunday's Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California.Mid-Pack picks
Note: This is the last race Mid-Pack Attack will consider all drivers except track favorites. The 2013 NSCS championship driver standings are starting to settle down. Since the point swings in and out of the top 15 are at a minimum, beginning with the April 7th race at Martinsville Speedway, we will only pick from drivers outside of the top 15 in points. We will continue to ignore track favorites even if they are lower than top 15th in the standings.That being said, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is second in the points right now but he's still fair game for us this week. With a 20.8 average finish in 20 Cup races at Fontana, he is definitely not a track favorite. We like him this week because of how his 2013 season is progressing. His worst finish in the first four races is a seventh place. Dale Jr. has done a lot better at this track since they shortened it to a 400-miler. He had engine failures and wrecks in five 500-mile races with less than 25 miles to go. He finished 16th or better in his last three Fontana 400-milers. Find a spot for the No. 88 Chevrolet SS driver this week.All three Rookie of the Year contenders are making their first Sprint Cup start at ACS. Timmy Hill suffered a DNQ in qualifying for the 2012 race but, with only 43 teams entered this week, he'll make the show. His best finish at the track was a 32nd in the 2012 Nationwide Series (NNS) race. Danica Patrick had three NNS starts with an average finish of 32nd. She also finished 18th in a 22-car IndyCar race at the track. That brings us to our pick of the rookies this week. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has four Fontana Nationwide Series starts on his resume. His first two were nothing to talk about but his last two resulted in finishes of fourth in 2011 and a second place in 2012. The No. 17 Ford Fusion driver has finished 18th or better in the four races this season and there's no reason not to expect that to continue on Sunday.We're going with part-timer AJ Allmendinger for a possible top-20. That's where the California native finished in his last three Sprint Cup starts, his lone Nationwide Series start and his last Camping World Truck Series start at this track. Allmendinger is running a very limited schedule (tentatively only four races; others may be added) in the No. 51 Chevrolet SS for Phoenix Racing. He finished 11th at Phoenix, 13th at Bristol, and has Fontana and Martinsville in April on his schedule. We think the Dinger would be a good buy in most salary cap games and, generally, a decent pick for fourth or fifth driver on most fantasy rosters.Our deepest pick this week for a top-20 finish is Casey Mears who has an average finish of 23.2 in 16 Sprint Cup starts at ACS. The Bakersfield, California native also had an average finish of around eighth place in six open-wheel races at the track. He had second place finishes in two of his five Nationwide Series starts here as well. Why are we looking at a driver who finished no higher than 21st in the last 14 races in 2012? Mears has two top-15's so far this year, including a 15th last week at beatin' and bangin' Bristol. Fight the urge to use up your allotment of favorite picks this early in the season. Instead, take a gamble on the No. 13 Ford Fusion.

Snapper, Vermilion – U.S.
Vermilion Snapper are found from North Carolina to Brazil and throughout the Gulf of Mexico. They reach sexual maturity at a young age and produce many offspring, spawning multiple times per year.
Vermilion Snapper abundance in the Gulf of Mexico is uncertain. Vermilion Snapper abundance in the South Atlantic is below the target level, but the population is not considered depleted.
The majority of fishermen use vertical hook-and-line gear to catch Vermilion Snapper, which has little impact on bottom habitat. However the fishery catches some depleted grouper species.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in snapper. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

What will be the biggest trends that shape ETF investing in this year? Here's a short list of megatrends, which reflect a host of 2012 developments and future possibilities:
1. Proprietary indexes from bigger ETF firms
For years, smaller ETF providers like IndexIQ and WisdomTree have purposely avoided using indexes from well-known companies like Dow Jones and Standard & Poor's in favor of their own customized indexes. Now that trend is starting to resonate with larger ETF providers.
In October, the Vanguard Group turned heads when it said it was switching index funds and ETFs with aggregate assets of $370 billion to new benchmarks developed by the University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP).
Vanguard's abandonment of MSCI indexes in favor of alternative benchmarks is paving the way for a new direction. Because of sharp reductions in ETF expense ratios, fund providers have no choice but to cut index-licensing fees to keep assets from fleeing to lower-cost competitors.
2. Mutual fund providers invade ETF market
Brisk activity in SEC filings for proposed ETFs in the final month of 2012 shows that several big hitters in the mutual fund world plan to make their impression in the ETF marketplace.
T. Rowe Price, according to filings, plans to launch its first ETF — an active total return bond fund that emphasizes income. The proposed ETF is called the T. Rowe Price Diversified Bond ETF, and the fund would apply the company's proprietary selection method, based upon the firm's fundamental and quantitative research.
Along similar lines, Franklin Templeton revealed plans to introduce an actively managed ETF that holds short-duration government bonds. The proposed fund is named the Franklin Short Duration Government ETF and it will own a diversified basket of short-duration, fixed-income securities issued by the U.S. government and related agencies.
Although not new to the ETF market, another noteworthy trend is an ETF menu expansion by Fidelity Investments. The company is planning to offer the Fidelity Corporate Bond Fund, along with a series of other actively managed bond.
3. Active ETFs galore
For most of its existence, the ETF landscape has been dominated and out-numbered by index-based products, but fund providers are focusing their efforts on adding actively managed funds to the mix.
The successful launch of the PIMCO Total Return ETF (BOND) in 2012 has provided other fund families with a model to follow. The "all weather" bond fund has already amassed almost $4 billion and is run by manager extraordinaire, Bill Gross. Not only has BOND outperformed its mutual fund counterpart with the same name, but it charges lower expenses of just 0.55%.
"Get used to them," said Joshua Brown, a financial advisor at Fusion Analytics, about active ETFs. "They'll only get bigger and siphon more cash from their elders in the mutual fund world."
4. Fiduciaries running ETF retirement plans
"In the retirement industry, the big trend for ETFs is with 3(38) investment managers," notes Darwin Abrahamson CEO and Founder of Invest n Retire. Abrahamson's Portland, Ore.-based firm offers an electronic platform that facilitates ETFs inside 401(k) plans.
ERISA Section 3(38) is an "investment manager" acting as a fiduciary because they take discretion, authority and control of a retirement plan's assets. ERISA rules allow retirement plan sponsors to assign the responsibility (and significant liability) of selecting and monitoring of investments to the 3(38) investment manager fiduciary.
A 3(38) fiduciary can only be a bank, an insurance company, or a registered investment adviser (RIA) operating under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
5. Continuation of fee wars
Cutthroat investment management fees have been a blessing for investors, and in 2012, we saw sharp fee cuts in ETF expense ratios from Charles Schwab, iShares, PowerShares, Vanguard and others.
This theme will continue into 2013, especially as fund providers shift to eliminate or reduce their index-licensing fees. Furthermore, commission-free ETF trading has intensified the battle.
Finally, I'll give you one more megatrend as a bonus: ETFs inside 401(k) plans.
There have been many attempts to push ETFs in 401(k) plans, but I expect Charles Schwab to come through with an aggressive ETF(k) plan that will force competitors to respond. Thus far, the ETF(k) movement has been a unhurried moving trend that I liken to the slow evolution of digital publishing.
However, what began as a small and isolated movement is now the unquestionable future. And that's how ETF(k) plans will someday be.

Myers will eventually help underrated Rays offense
The first thing to know about the Rays, when you wonder how they can fix their offense, is that their offense doesn't need as much fixing as it may appear. The brutal hitting environment of Tropicana Field makes Tampa Bay's lineup look much less potent than it actually is.
The Rays were, in fact, pretty productive in 2012, when you adjust for the offensive context. They ranked fourth in the American League in runs scored on the road. They were seventh among the 14 AL clubs in Baseball Prospectus' True Average, a measure of all batting contributions adjusted for ballpark and league quality.
Still, Tampa Bay clearly identified offense as a priority this winter. It traded James Shields, an AL Cy Young Award candidate in 2011, to Kansas City for a package centered on top hitting prospect Wil Myers. The 22-year-old outfielder might not crack the Opening Day roster, but he's expected to contribute before the year is out.
As for when and how much Myers will offer, it's somewhat unclear. The club is preaching patience with Myers, who spent most of last year at Triple-A Omaha and hit 37 homers between Double-A and Triple-A.
"We're much more focused on the process than really what the back of his baseball card will read in a year, two, three from now," Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said on MLB.com's Hot Stove show.
"We're just keeping an open mind. We're just excited to get a chance to watch him every day and be around him. We'll have a much better feel for where things stand once we really get into that. It's not fair to make declarative statements one way or another."
Myers batted .314 with a .387 on-base percentage and a .600 slugging percentage in 134 Minor League games last season. In addition to the 37 homers, he amassed 109 RBIs, 98 runs scored and 26 doubles. It was seriously prodigious production, and while there are some worries about Myers' ability to make contact (his 140 strikeouts were a career high), he is surely ready to contribute to some extent at the Major League level already.
If the Rays' history is any guide, Myers won't get that chance right off the bat. Tampa Bay often keeps top youngsters in the Minor Leagues for a while at the beginning of their rookie years. That gives the club an extra year before the player reaches free-agent eligibility, as well as an extra year before he can go to salary arbitration.
It won't be surprising at all if they take a similar tack with Myers. They recently re-signed Luke Scott, who put up disappointing overall numbers in 2012 but surged in the second half of the season. Reports on Monday indicated they've also come to terms with Kelly Johnson.
Scott slides in as the primary designated hitter, while Sam Fuld and Matt Joyce man the corner outfield spots. Johnson's addition will allow Ben Zobrist to spend more time in the outfield as well. James Loney will play first base.
Even after bringing in Johnson, the Rays may yet look to add one more hitter if possible, which would allow extra patience with Myers -- not to mention a fallback if Myers isn't quite ready early in the season. They'd like to avoid a scenario like the one that occurred last season, when numerous injuries left them fairly exposed on offense.
"If we're able to do that and something lines up that makes sense for us, it has the added benefit of not only adding that player but also extending our depth," Friedman said. "We saw that firsthand last year, just how important that is. We had a ton of different injuries, beyond [Evan] Longoria missing 90 games, or whatever it was. [Desmond] Jennings missed a month. Matt Joyce missed five or six weeks. B.J. [Upton] missed time."
Of course, just having guys stay healthy would be quite a boon. Longoria is a superstar-caliber player when healthy, but he's played 207 games total over the past two seasons. Jennings needs all the at-bats he can get as he tries to develop into a big league star. Scott was clearly compromised early in the year as he tried to come back from an injury-marred 2011. Joyce has shown he's capable of being an impact hitter, but he, too, needs to stay in the lineup.
The Rays were already decent. The pieces are in place for them to be better than that. And they're still looking to add more. For all the talk about Tampa Bay's offensive woes, its offense might be pretty good after all.

Q-Tubes is a Web-based QEMU/KVM machine manager in Python built around the Pyramid Web framework. Its goal is to allow management of QEMU/KVM networks across single host instances, and ultimately across server farms. It supports minimal VM instances with disk support and basic network configuration (no user-space network yet), and basic VDE switch configurations. It provides a WSGI interface for deployment behind WSGI-aware servers, or provides its own basic server (python-waitress) for simple instances. The application is under steady development and has a moderate number of (Python) dependencies. Installation in a virtualenv is strongly recommended. It requires QEMU/KVM, VDE, and Python 2.7 or later.
PySite is not a CMS in the traditional sense. Rather, you manage the contents of a Web site via a file manager interface, which gives you access to all settings (pages, styles, plugins, etc.). Compose your pages with Jinja templates, and edit your code comfortably with syntax highlighting in the ACE editor. You may write your stylesheets in Sass and let the integrated compiler write CSS files. PySite also contains a facility to manage virtual mailboxes, in case you maintain your own SMTP and IMAP server, e.g. with Postfix and Dovecot.

RCSSmin is a CSS minifier. The implementation is based on the semantics of the YUI compressor, but aiming for speed instead of maximum compression so that it can be used at runtime rather than during a preprocessing step. rCSSmin does syntactical compression only (removing spaces, comments, and possibly semicolons). It does not provide semantic compression (like removing empty blocks, collapsing redundant properties etc). It does, however, support various CSS hacks (by keeping them working as intended).
Crossfire Extended Release is an extended version of Crossfire, a rogue-like 2D RPG, simulation, and graphical online chatroom. It features vast expanses and numerous cities, each with its own theme, deeply hidden worlds that very few ever venture to, flatworlds peeled off from the earth through hidden seas, and underground expanses. People can buy and build houses, towns, towers. There is a post office, banks, guilds. Boats one can own, castles one can rule over, forever, as a king. There is a weather simulation.
Linux Huawei Unlocker is a tool that attempts to automatically remove the carrier lock on Huawei mobile broadband modems from the Linux command line.

dput-webdav is a "dput" upload method plugin with extended WebDAV support. It was written specifically with Artifactory and Bintray in mind. It tries to be compatible with the "http" plugin, but offers additional features: login credentials can include the password, "incoming" can be a full URL (optionally containing dynamic package metadata, and supporting HTTPS), and distributions can be mapped to repository names.
coverity-submit submits scan requests to the Coverity demo server. If you are a registered user of Coverity's self-build server and have the cov-build tools installed locally, this script automates the process of running the tools and submitting the results with an analysis request to Coverity. It can be configured to store build passwords, local build commands, and other required information for multiple projects so you don't have to remember it - just call the tool and let it manage the details.
pyReScene is a tool that recreates original RARs by backing up the metadata. It is a port of ReScene .NET to Python. It provides a mechanism for backing up and restoring the metadata from "scene" released RAR files. RAR archive volumes are rebuilt using the stored metadata in the SRR file and the files extracted from the RAR archive. pyReScene consists of multiple related tools: pyReScene Auto to create a complete SRR with one simple command, pyReSample to recreate sample files, and pyReScene Usenet to create SRR files on the fly from Usenet postings. Lots of other small scripts for managing SRR and SRS files are available too.

This spectacularly successful 10 day sporting event included the attendance of prominent African public figures such as Lucas Radebe (International football player); Minister Lulama Xingwana (Minister of Women, Children and Persons with Disabilities in South Africa); HSH Charlene The Princess of Monaco (Former Olympic swimmer); Dikembe Mutombo (Basketball legend and Humanitarian); H.E Lady Olebile Masire (Former First Lady of Republic of Botswana); Mrs Kandjii Drusilla (Commissioner for People with Disabilities in Namibia); Hon. Shifeta Pohamba (Deputy Minister of Youth National Service Sport and Culture in Namibia) and Dr Veii Vetumbuavi (Director of Sport in the ministry of Youth National Service Sport and Culture in Namibia), who all made the journey to Greece to show their support for their teams and the African continent. They were joined on the international front by prominent public figures such as basketball superstar Yao Ming, actress Vanessa Williams, actress Zhang Ziyi, and a number of football legends. TBCLucas Radebe described his attendance at the games as follows: "Attending the Special Olympics World Games was an incredible experience for me. As a sportsman I was truly impressed with quality of the sport that I witnessed, and as a person I was completely inspired by the courage and determination of the athletes. Special Olympics is an extraordinary example of the power of sport to break down barriers and to create unity and inclusion. I am proud to be a supporter."In what was the largest multi-sport event in 2011, everyday odds were defied, victories were won, personal bests were achieved, and athletes from more than 170 countries showed the world what it means to play unified, and live unified. Our African athletes competed against 7000 athletes from around the world. They returned victorious with a total of 354 medals.

Rockstar has finally released a little bit of gameplay for its upcoming return to Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto 5. Previously, all we had seen is some well-crafted pre-rendered footage of protagonists Michael, Franklin and Trevor as they went about their chaotic lives.
The narrated video, billed as an introduction to the game world, shows off snippets of play and a look at some of the driving and weapon mechanics in the game, and some of the interaction between the lead characters.. It also gives a glimpse of actually planning out missions, as well as some side distractions, such as playing tennis and golf, hunting animals, and bounty hunting. You can even do some stock trading or dabble in real estate.
The end of the video teases Grand Theft Auto Online multiplayer, which will have more details coming "soon."
The game is scheduled to come out on September 17 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and will require an install on both consoles. Which character's powers will you be taking advantage of?

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) - a protein produced by the fetus that is excreted into the amniotic fluid. Abnormal levels of alpha-fetoprotein may indicate brain or spinal cord defects, multiple fetuses, a miscalculated due date, or chromosomal disorders.
Amniocentesis - a test performed to determine chromosomal and genetic disorders and certain birth defects. The test involves inserting a needle through the abdominal and uterine wall into the amniotic sac to retrieve a sample of amniotic fluid.
Amniotic sac - a thin-walled sac that surrounds the fetus during pregnancy. The sac is filled with amniotic fluid - liquid made by the fetus and the amnion (the membrane that covers the fetal side of the placenta) that protects the fetus from injury and helps to regulate the temperature of the fetus.
E. coli O157:H7 (also called E. coli or Escherichia coli) - species of bacteria found in the intestines of man and healthy cattle; often the cause of urinary tract infections, diarrhea in infants, and wound infections.
Genetic counseling - providing an assessment of heritable risk factors and information to patients and their relatives concerning the consequences of a disorder, the probability of developing or transmitting it, and ways in which it can be prevented, treated, and managed.
Listeriosis - a food-borne illness transmitted by bacteria in contaminated food.
Neural tube defects - defects of the fetal brain or spine.
Periodontal disease (also called gum disease) - serious bacterial infections that destroy the gums and the surrounding tissues of the mouth.
Placenta - an organ, shaped like a flat cake, that only grows during pregnancy and provides a metabolic interchange between the fetus and mother. (The fetus takes in oxygen, food, and other substances and eliminates carbon dioxide and other wastes.)
Prenatal diagnosis - used to diagnose a genetic disease or condition in the developing fetus.
Quickening - mother's ability to feel the movement of the fetus for the first time.
Trimester - a pregnancy is divided into phases, which are about three months each.
Toxoplasmosis - an infection caused by a parasite that can lead to serious illness or death in the fetus.
Ultrasound - a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the fetus' body and organs and the surrounding tissues.

librsb is a library for sparse matrix computations featuring the Recursive Sparse Blocks (RSB) matrix format. This format allows cache-efficient and multithreaded (that is, shared memory parallel) operations on large sparse matrices. The most common operations necessary to iterative solvers are available (matrix-vector multiplication, triangular solution, rows/columns scaling, diagonal extraction/setting, blocks extraction, norm computation, formats conversion). The RSB format is especially well-suited for symmetric and transposed multiplication variants. On these variants, librsb has been found to be faster than Intel MKL's implementation for CSR. Most numerical kernels code is auto-generated, and the supported numerical types can be chosen by the user at buildtime. librsb implements the Sparse BLAS standard, as specified in the BLAS Forum documents.
jslibs is a standalone JavaScript development environment for using JavaScript as a general-purpose scripting language. jslibs provides a set of native modules that contains various general-purpose classes and functions. Some of these modules are simple wrappers to familiar libraries such as zlib, SQLite, FastCGI, and NSPR. Other modules provide tools to enhance JavaScript programming. The jslibs distribution comes with a small standalone command-line access program (jshost) that can be used to run JavaScript files.

Alcohol consumption by the mother is a leading cause of preventable birth defects in the fetus and is the only known cause of mental retardation that is completely preventable. Everything a mother drinks also goes to the fetus. Alcohol is broken down more slowly in the immature body of the fetus than in an adult's body. This can cause the alcohol levels to remain high and stay in the baby's body longer. In addition, the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth increases with alcohol consumption.
Even light or moderate drinking can affect the developing fetus. Because no amount of alcohol is safe, the US Surgeon General recommends that pregnant women avoid alcohol during pregnancy. An infant born to a mother who drinks alcohol during pregnancy can have problems included in a group of disorders called fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). FASDs include the following:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the following characteristics or behaviors may occur in children with FASDs:
Long-term problems in children with FASDs may include psychiatric problems, gang and criminal behavior, unemployment, and incomplete education.
There is no cure for FASDs, but children who are diagnosed early and receive appropriate physical and educational interventions, especially those in a stable and nurturing home, are more likely to have better outcomes than those who are not.

MassMutual is using Facebook to address millennials' often overwhelming student debt, the company announced Monday.
The company is offering $20,000 to a Facebook fan who likes its Down With Debt page and submits the most creative strategy for paying down debt.
MassMutual cited data from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus that found consumers owe more than $150 billion in private loans in the United States. To address the burden of debt on millennials, the company launched a Facebook campaign that will run until Feb. 14.
"We see student debt as a timely and important topic," said Marie Politis (left), vice president of online experience for MassMutual, on Thursday. "There are a lot of people with a lot of student debt. Half of graduates are unemployed or underemployed. We're trying to address this issue in a meaningful way."
Facebook users who like the MassMutual Down With Debt page can view tips for reducing debt like making a budget, asking for a raise and reviewing payment options on loans. Politis noted that some of the tips that appear on the Facebook page are their own, but many are offered by participants in the campaign.
"It's about educating millennials on financial responsibility and giving them an opportunity to learn," Kathleen Mayko, digital community manager for MassMutual, added.
As of Thursday, the campaign has received 900 entries and added over 1,500 likes, Politis said.
For advisors who are working with millennial clients or with parents of millennials, Mayko said they "need to be aware of where clients are." Teaching them about expense management and debt management are important. "They need to keep an eye to the future so they can plan the next steps for the best year, the best decade and the best retirement possible."
Politis noted that while the campaign is being promoted through the company's Twitter account, website and agents, it's being implemented through Facebook because it's the "best place to engage participants in conversation and have a dialogue. Each social media channel is different, and we felt Facebook was the best way to go to create excitement around the topic."

It's Monday. And Mondays are terrible. That fact has been well-established.
Less well-known is that there exists a cure for all Monday-related blues, depression and mope.
And it is this: A three-minute video of a bear playing tetherball. It's like a scene from your fourth-grade gym class, only way cooler and starring a player with even less respect for the rules.
The video was apparently uploaded by a volunteer at Animal Ark, a wildlife sanctuary near Reno, Nev.

Fernandez is a big deal, but what he did vs. Braves isn't
We're part of a lucky generation of baseball fans, because someday we'll be able to tell people we got to see Jose Fernandez pitch. That's how I feel every time I see this 21-year-old kid on a mound.
Fernandez's numbers are like something from a haywire video game. He's also bubbling with charm and charisma and energy, and he appears on his way to being one of the faces of an entire sport.View Full Game Coverage
Don't you just love it? Go ahead and name any kid pitcher you've ever heard about. At this point in his career, Jose Fernandez takes a backseat to no one. His rookie season ended Wednesday night with dazzling numbers: 2.19 ERA, .182 opponents batting average, 9.89 strikeouts per nine innings, 58 walks and 187 strikeouts in 172 2/3 innings.
And those numbers barely begin to tell the larger story of what Fernandez means to the Miami Marlins. He gets it in ways large and small.
Fernandez wants to connect with fans in a way that could be an example for every other player. He signs autographs and poses for pictures after almost every game. He hosts youth groups during Sunday home games.
He has been so spectacular that Marlins manager Mike Redmond said earlier this season one of his goals was to make sure Fernandez doesn't change.
And being demonstrative and emotional is part of the package.
During a 14-pitch at-bat against Braves catcher Brian McCann earlier this season, Fernandez stepped off the mound and yelled, "What do I have to throw you to get you out?"
Funny, right?
Fernandez pats umpires on the butt, hugs opponents, talks to everyone, does it all with constant chatter and a smile. If he's not the happiest person on earth, he's pretty close, and what in the world is wrong with that?
Who could be anything other than mesmerized by this kid? Fernandez is so engaging and so outgoing and so completely comfortable in the spotlight that it all seems natural.
He may sometimes get carried away in the heat of competition, but that's who he is. Like fellow Cuban, Yasiel Puig, Fernandez comes from a culture in which players make no attempt to hide their emotions.
In ways large and small, Fernandez is one of the things right about baseball in 2013. Thrust into the spotlight, he has done pretty much what he has always done. He has been himself.
So when Atlanta's Evan Gattis homered against him in the top of the sixth inning Wednesday, Fernandez reacted. He appeared to say loudly, "Wow."
At least that's one version of events. He also may have yelled a couple of things toward the Braves' dugout.
This was a combustible night, one that matched the excitable rookie with an Atlanta team on the verge of clinching a division championship.
But these games are important to the Braves as they battle the Dodgers for the National League's best record and potential home-field advantage in a postseason series.
Fernandez knew that he was being shut down after his Wednesday start, and so this was his Game 7. And when he hit his first career home run in the bottom of the sixth inning, he stood at home plate and watched. Yep, the Braves didn't like it.
As Fernandez circled the bases, he spit near Atlanta third baseman Chris Johnson, who let him hear about it. McCann was waiting for him at home plate, and pretty soon, both dugouts emptied with the two teams jawing at one another.
OK, Jose Fernandez messed up. In the heat of battle, the Braves responded.
Redmond got mad about it and said he understood why the Braves were ready to brawl. Fernandez apologized to McCann and Atlanta pitcher Mike Minor after the game. He apologized publicly too.
"I feel embarrassed," he said.
And that ought to be that.
Live and learn.
The Braves reacted the way competitors almost always react. No problem there. But in their heart of hearts, they have to know this is nothing more than an excitable kid competing and battling.
"I think he realized that he messed up," Johnson said. "I think the emotions got the best of him tonight."
If this is the worst thing Jose Fernandez ever does, if this is the one night when his energy and passion got him into trouble, big deal.
He's a kid, two years removed from high school. Cut him some slack. Good Lord. He'll figure it out. But no one should ever want to change him in any significant way.
To repeat: Fernandez is one of the things that's right about this game. His starts are on their way to becoming events.
Jose Fernandez's rookie year was a smashing success. He burst onto the scene in April and fulfilled every promise. Fernandez is tremendously talented. He's also not boring. All in all, a pretty good combination.
Thanks for a great rookie season, Jose. You made the game better in a lot of ways. See you in 2014, kid.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- Quebec Premier Pauline Marois is committed to improving rail connections between Montreal and the U.S. border, possibly taking an hour off the trip to New York, Gov. Peter Shumlin said Monday.
Shumlin, after meeting with Marois on Monday in Montreal, said a major impediment to improved rail communication remains the pre-clearance of passengers and cargo by customs officials from both countries when crossing the border.
Rail improvement projects in the U.S. Northeast and Canada have been under way for some time, and Shumlin said he, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick "are delivering on upgrading the tracks and speeding up the rail from New York to the Canadian border."
"The challenge is to get final approval of our pre-clearance so we can start moving cargo and passengers by rail," Shumlin said, but it's up to the federal governments in both countries to smooth the border crossings.
Shumlin has been committed to improving rail connections between Vermont and Quebec, including the restoration of the Amtrak service between St. Albans and Montreal. Currently, the Vermonter train ends service in St. Albans, just south of the Canadian border.
The rail improvements discussed by Shumlin and Marois include a spur to Boston.
In addition, Marois told Shumlin she was committed to expanding Autoroute 35 from the Vermont border at Highgate Springs to Montreal and hoped to be able to complete it by 2017, Shumlin said. Currently, much of the road north to Montreal from the top of Interstate 89 is on two-lane roads.
During their meeting, Shumlin and Marois signed a 15-point cooperation agreement between Vermont and Quebec.
The document didn't commit Vermont or Quebec to any specific actions, but it said the details of the agreement would be implemented using a mechanism set up by a similar 2003 agreement that created a Joint Vermont-Quebec Committee.
For years, Vermont officials have highlighted the importance of the state's relationship with Quebec, and all the points in the document have been issues of interest to the state and the province for years.
The first section of the agreement, on economic development, said Vermont and Quebec would "facilitate meetings and matchmaking" and carry out joint marketing activities such as trade missions and hospitality initiatives "to be part of major North American business networks."
It recognized that Vermont utilities import large quantities of electricity from Quebec and the provincial utility Hydro-Quebec is a major supplier of Vermont electric power.
Canada has been seeking ways to increase its exports of electricity to the power-hungry Northeastern United States. The document recognized that Vermont "is a gateway to New England for the transmission of hydroelectricity produced in Quebec."
Other sections of the agreement included:
— Pursuing a close partnership between the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and its Quebec counterpart to help manage the international waters of Lake Memphremagog and help reduce pollutants that reach Lake Champlain's Missisquoi Bay, most of which is in Quebec;
— Recognizing the need for cross-border collaboration on shared public safety issues, including transnational organized crime and terrorism;
— Improving the flow of goods and people across the border while maintaining good security at the 15 border crossings between Vermont and Quebec; and
— Agreeing to work together to promote tourism.

Progress Toward Ending the CycleThe day after the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang, 2013, leaders from government, business, education, economic and social development, media and civil society convened at the Special Olympics Global Development Summit on Ending the Cycle of Poverty and Exclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities. Facing Obstacles to Solve Them"I am here to learn how I can make a difference," shared Aung San Suu Kyi who offered the keynote address of the Summit. "Imposing assistance on people with intellectual disabilities is not the correct approach. It is they who really know their own needs and who are best placed to shape their own futures. They should be given the opportunity to participate in decision-making and to be active in their communities."The Summit discussed the obstacles faced by people with intellectual disabilities. In every community around the world, people with intellectual disabilities and their families face stigma and stereotype that results in low expectations for what they can accomplish and apathy and ignorance that limits their access to health care, education, housing, and employment.They also experience a lack of protection under the law that denies them their humanity, robs them of their dignity, subjects them to poverty and abuse, and threatens their freedom to participate as full and equal members of society.Key ParticipantsKey Participants Aung San Suu Kyi, MP -- Chairperson, National League for Democracy, Burma (Myanmar) The Most Honorable Kim Hwang-sik, Prime Minister of the Republic of Korea Her Excellency Joyce Banda, President of Malawi Congresswoman Na Kyung Won, Chairperson, 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games, Games Organizing Committee Mr. Song Sang-Hyun, President, International Criminal Court Senator and Vice Minister Jan McLucas, Government of Australia The Honorable Wilfried Lemke, Special Envoy, the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace Mr. Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company Mr. Michael Elliott, President and CEO, ONE Mrs. Cherie Blair, Founder, The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women Mr. Yao Ming, Chairman of the Shanghai Sharks Basketball Club and Founder, Yao Foundation Mr. Dikembe Mutumbo, Founder, Dikembe Mutombo Foundation Inc. Mrs. Cindy Hensley McCain, Chair, Hensley & Co. and HumanitarianInfluencing ChangeJoining the Summit was also HE Mrs. Joyce Banda State President of the Republic of Malawi. "It takes the President of a Country to influence the change," she shared during the press conference. Special Olympics knew there needed to be major attention brought to people with intellectual disabilities in the developing world when they met Aaron Banda of Malawi. Aaron was tied to a tree in his village. "We don't lay blame," shared Special Olympics Chairman and CEO Timothy Shriver. "There are no services for families of people with intellectual disabilities in most of the world and this needs to change." The all day summit consisted of panel discussions about health disparities, sports for change and how the power of one can effect change.Downloads From the Shadows to Significance: Achieving Human Rights for People with Intellectual Disabilities (PDF)Closing Speech by HE Joyce Banda (PDF)Special Olympics Global Development Summit Program (PDF)

NHTSA — Equipment: Electrical: Air Conditioner Problems
CarComplaints.com Notes: Engine cradle rot is a serious problem in the 2004-05 Chrysler Pacifica. Chrysler admits they didn't apply enough coating to the vehicle's sub-frame during assembly, but only offered to cover a very small portion of the vehicles they messed up.
So what happens when your engine cradle rots? Well, the engine could fall out for starters. It could also cause problems with the suspension and other components but did I mention THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT? The worst part is you might not know because there's no way to see the problem without getting under the car.
If you have a 2004-05 Pacifica, make sure to have your mechanic inspect your sub-frame for rust and corrosion.
