text: Purpose Evidence on the association between coffee consumption and prostate cancer risk is inconsistent; furthermore, few studies have examined the relationship between coffee consumption and fatal prostate cancer. six or more cups per day to nondrinker were; 0.94 (0.86C1.02), p-trend=0.08 for overall prostate cancer, 1.13 (0.91C1.40), p-trend=0.62 for advanced prostate cancer and 0.79 (0.53C1.17), p-trend=0.20 for fatal prostate cancer. The findings remained nonsignificant when we stratified by prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing history or restricted to nonsmokers. Conclusions We found no statistically significant association between coffee consumption and the risk of overall, advanced or fatal prostate cancer in this cohort, though a modest reduction in risk could not be excluded. Keywords: Coffee, caffeine, prostatic neoplasms, prospective studies Introduction Coffee contains multiple chemical compounds that are known to have biological activity and some of these compounds may have potentially beneficial effects (1). Long-term coffee intake has been consistently associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes, better glucose metabolism and lower insulin levels (2, 3). Coffee could affect the risk of prostate cancer through the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of its beneficial components including lignans, phytoestrogens and chlorogenic acids (4C6). Coffee has also been associated with lower levels of IGF-1 and circulating sex hormones which are associated with prostate cancer progression (7, 8). Epidemiological evidence of the relationship between coffee consumption and prostate cancer is inconsistent. Several prospective studies found no significant association between coffee intake and risk of prostate cancer (9C12). However, many of these adjusted for only a few confounding factors and lacked information on disease stage and grade. Adjustment for smoking is particularly important since smoking is linked Rabbit Polyclonal to HSF2 with increased coffee intake in many populations, and is independently associated with higher risk of prostate cancer mortality (13, 14). A meta-analysis of five cohort studies reported an inverse association between coffee consumption and overall prostate cancer risk, with a summary estimate of 0.76 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.61, 0.98) for highest drinkers vs. non/low drinkers (15). A recent study reported a marked decrease in risk of lethal (but not overall) prostate cancer (8). The aim of our analysis was to examine the association between coffee consumption and risk of fatal, advanced and overall prostate cancer in a large cohort with long follow up and information on multiple potential confounders. Methods Study population The NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study was initiated in 1995C1996, when AARP members aged 50 to 71 years old residing in six U.S. states (California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania) and two metropolitan areas (Atlanta and Detroit) responded to a questionnaire eliciting information on dietary behaviors, demographic characteristics and other health-related information (n=566,398) (16). Completion of the self-administered questionnaire was considered to imply informed consent to participate in the study. In a subsequent mailed questionnaire (1996C1997, 69% response rate) participants reported their history of prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing and digital rectal examinations during the previous three years. For our analyses, we excluded 14,495 men whose questionnaires were completed by others, as well as 27,270 with cancer other than nonmelanoma skin cancer at baseline, 626 with self-reported kidney failure, 2,575 who reported extreme Bosentan intake of total energy (exceeding twice the interquartile ranges of log-transformed intake), 1,273 with missing coffee intake information, and 5,036 who died in the first 2 years of follow-up, leaving an analysis dataset of 288,391 men. The NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study was approved by the Special Studies Institutional Review Board of the National Cancer Institute. Assessment of exposure At baseline, participants completed a 124-item food frequency questionnaire that assessed dietary intake over the previous 12 months, including caffeine containing drinks such as coffee, tea and soft drinks (17). Consumption was assessed in frequency categories ranging from 0 to 6 or more cups per day and almost 90% of coffee drinkers provided information on whether they drank caffeinated or decaffeinated Bosentan coffee more than half the time. The questionnaire Bosentan also included foods that contain small amounts of caffeine. Total daily caffeine intake was calculated based on the food items, portion sizes and nutrient database constructed using the US Department of Agricultures 1994C1996 Continuous Survey of Food Intake by Individuals (18). The FFQ was.

The Greatest Generation is a comedy podcast about Star Trek, beloved by everyone from people who've never seen an episode, to hard core nerds who are fluent in Klingon.
Once a week Benjamin Ahr Harrison and Adam Pranica watch an episode of Star Trek and tell you what's great, what's bad, and what's hilarious about the show they grew up loving, and still do. It's a little bit nerdy, a lot filthy, and exposes some of Adam and Ben's most embarrassing stories from their dorky childhoods.
When unfrozen caveman Klingons are about to thaw out in a nice suburban neighborhood, Starfleet sends their sexiest emissary to try to talk Picard into a murder-based solution to the problem. Tensions rise when Worf can't keep his cool around his lab partner, but Troi has some zit popping videos on her iPad that help everyone calm down. Is Data the ship's best cock-blocker? Is K'Ehleyr going to get picked in The Bachelor? Is Worf a cigar store Indian? It's the episode in which we try to get CBS to jerk our udders.
ENTER OUR CONTEST! Leave a 5 star iTunes review and send a screen grab to firstname.lastname@example.com
When the Enterprise goes on Uber-duty for a couple of fish people, Lwaxana Troi drops by for a visit. Then, things somehow get even worse when Captain Picard bails on the show and hides in the holodeck. Is Troi's mom more destructive than Q? Is Pacifica the galaxy's Howard Johnson hotel? Why don't more guest stars get "The Tesh Treatment"? Plus, we announce a t-shirt contest! It's the episode that's an embodiment of an HR violation.
When Dr. Pulaski covers for Worf, he returns the favor by showing her what sex is to him. Meanwhile, the ship rescues some Space Irish from some kind of Space Blight before heading off to find their long lost cousins. How dangerous is a Klingon toilet plunger? Why is the transporter beaming people up with the ground underneath them? What are the downsides of phasering your own clone? It's the episode that forced us to bow to the absurd!
When the Enterprise answers a distress call from a ship full of Lennies, the crew's instincts are to offer assistance. Unfortunately, the Pakleds pet Geordi a little too hard as he's tending to their problems. Meanwhile, the captain and Wesley (the BOY?) go on a road trip in the Previa so Picard can have a "little procedure." Could Toto have improved this episode? Who are the rank pips really for? Can we do this show in a hot tub? It's an episode that's like a Sci-Fi version of "Of Mice and Men"!
Picard gets super salty when Q kidnaps him in a stolen Previa, but things go from bad to worse when the ship gets frisbeed into the path of the galaxy's shittiest Rubik's Cube. Does Guinan have the only locking door on the ship? Why are the Borgs so interested in the Jim Shimoda Memorial Corner? Is the crew even ready to go on star treks? It's a very special episode of Borg Maury.
When the Enterprise explores a sector full of about to explode planets, the crew decides to put Wesley (the boy?) in charge. But when Data decides to turn the sensors on high, the results interrupt Captain Picard's private "chaps time." Is Worf in a death cult? Where can our listeners send their corrections? Can't Picard do better than a Continental breakfast for his meetings? It's the episode with a very special WiFi password!
When Riker's daddy comes aboard, his sexual magnetism finally meets its match. After a few days of bickering, it all comes to a head in an American Gladiator match that gives Code of Honor a run for its money in the racism department. What was Worf's job interview like? Can the ship's three most socially inept crewmen throw a good party? Will Riker take Picard's advice on a new way to get off? It's the episode where Adam opens some cards of his own!
When the Enterprise finds an IKEA shuttlepod floating in space, they (what else?) bring it aboard for a closer inspection. What they find inside is a very tan, extremely well-rested clone of Captain Picard whose body, unlike the original Picard, does not respond well to stimulants. How will Wesley (the boy?) tell them apart? What's the cost of a destroyed Galaxy-class starship? Why didn't Riker season his eggs before serving them? It's the episode where we bring booze to brunch!
When the crew beams a big pile of ship aboard, they decide to beam down to a planet with a frozen fart-based atmosphere to investigate. The DustBuster club quickly find themselves trapped in a nightmare vacation to Vegas. Is Worf behind the lack of door locks on the Enterprise? Is Picard's love of trashy novels distracting him from mounting a sincere rescue operation? Is playing along with a bad book the only way to escape it? It's the episode where we declare that we're here to defend democracy, not necessarily to practice it.
When the Enterprise crosses the neutral zone to touch dongles with another Galaxy-class ship, it soon becomes infected with a computer virus that threatens to kill everyone onboard. But rather than "turn it off, then turn it on," the crew troubleshoots the problem by doing a little light archaeology. Did the USS Yamato get infected by Nagilum? Does Wesley (the boy?) have a direct line to Captain Picard? What is a "Dirty Data"? It's the episode broadcast to you from Shimoda Corner!

Pakistan exported 2.335Mt of cement and earned US$111.818m during the first three months of the current financial compared to 2.33Mt at US$117.372m in the corresponding period. This shows cement exports rose 0.21 per cent YoY in terms of quantity but fell 4.73 per cent in terms of value, according to data released by the Federal Bureau of Statistics.
In terms of Pakistani currency, exports dipped 3.54 per cent during July-September 2011-12.
During September 2011 alone, Pakistan exported 862,765t of cement and earned US$35.93m compared to 664,930t at US$36.816m in August 2011. This reflects MoM growth of 29.75 per cent in terms of quantity but a declined of 2.41 per cent in terms of the value in dollars.
The growth in export of cement was also observed, if compared with September 2010 data, (742,547t at US$36.472m) which shows positive growth of 16.19 per cent but a decline of 1.49 per cent in terms of value in dollar over same month last year, on a YoY basis.
According to data from the All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA), during 1QFY11-12 (July-September), Pakistan exported 1.314Mt of cement to Afghanistan – recording a growth of 30.42 per cent. Of that total, 163,340t was delivered to India (53.79 per cent) and 857,105t to other countries but recording a drop of 24.17 per cent.
An analyst of Al-Habib Capital Markets (Pvt) Ltd noted that overall dispatching as export growth remained flat during 1QFY2011-12 due to higher local dispatches and higher retention prices/margin in the domestic market. Published under Cement News

Liberal Democrat Peer Lord Alton recently asked in parliament how many embryos have been created in each year since the commencement of the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990, and how many of these have resulted in live births.Figures given in reply by the Under-Secretary of State at the Department of Health Earl Howe showed that 3,806,699 embryos have been created since 1990. Between 1992 and 2006 a total of 122,043 live births occurred according to figures from the HFEA given alongside his reply (see also here).122,043 live births from 3,806,699 embryos represent a success rate of 3.21%. Or, to put it another way, 3,684,656 embryos never made it to birth.
I have often wondered if we shouldn't be doing sidewalk counseling at IVF clinics as they are just as lethal as abortion clinics (in terms of fatalities).

Create an Art Studio in your Home – Here's How
Not to be underestimated in the creative process is the space in which you create your work. Space is everything and aesthetics should not be underestimated. When you work in your creative space you should feel at peace, harmonious, motivated. Even if your space is a small corner in a room, you can make it yours!
Check out some inspiring creative spaces found on Instagram:
Here are a few tips to help create the ideal creative environment:
Practical Considerations for a Perfect Art/Creative Studio
Consider whether your space lends to creativity.
Your environment has a huge impact on your creativity, and if it's dusty, cluttered, or dark and depressing, it will affect how well your mind works, how your ideas flow. Surround yourself in your favorite colors; clear the clutter and organize. Include artwork, family photos, those comfortable things you love. You'll be surprised at how creating an environment you're happy in sparks new ideas.
Unplug from Technology
Put technology aside – at least for a little while.
Laptops, tablets, cell phones – most of us are immersed in digital technology, and it can be a drain on your brain. You need downtime. The creative process is slowed when your brain is constantly "plugged in," so give it a break! And yes, this means no Facebook or Twitter, either.
A Quiet Spot
Quiet please and NO interruptions. I don't know many artists that can work and get in the zone around chaos and noise. Most artists thrive in their own quiet space. If you have a family at home try setting boundaries. When the door is closed… no interruptions. If you don't have a door and have a dedicated space make a pact with your family that when you're there, it's off limits for a period of time.
Good Lighting
The power of light. Of course you know how important lighting is in your artwork. But take a good look at your environment. Do you have good natural light? If you don't have windows or good lighting try using standard incandescent light bulbs with full spectrum lighting. Full spectrum does just what it says and provides the full spectrum of sunlight to mimic natural light helping you to see the true nature of your colors. We recommend the amazing OttLite, the perfect lamp for your desk, craft table, or home office. With an adjustable shade, the SlimLine is designed to perfectly deliver OttLite Natural Daylight Illumination exactly where it's needed. Delivering a low heat, low glare illumination, this lamp will help you do what you love, longer.
Of course there are the other elements such as great music, a comfortable chair and all your supplies at your fingertips!
Try some of these things yourself, and see if it helps remove those mental blocks and get your creative juices flowing again!

Great decorating idea for nonprofits and schools who have dances and parties.
By Debra Muzikar
I received an email last week asking if I would like to review the AtmosFX Digital Design projector (Retail $199) for the Art of Autism. The email stated that the AtmosFX was created in 2008 by an MTV producer and a professional animator. The two of them were inspired by high-end creations used at amusement parks and museums. The AtmosFX is in over 100 countries and is the fastest growing digital home decoration system. I signed up to receive a complementary projector in exchange for a review.
A package arrived promptly in the mail. The package includes a projector with tripod, a SD card with 14 "movie" scenes, a white screen that can be placed over a window and a remote control. The 4 x 6 foot screen can be adjusted either vertically or horizontally. The system included 3M double stick tape to attach the screen to a window or wall. I was thinking this projector would be great for dances and parties which I help with for the nonprofit Jeremiah's Ranch.
This morning I hooked it up. Put the enclosed screen on a wall and navigated through the device to display the different animated movie scenes on the screen. At first I was not getting anything on the screen and then I realized I had left the lens cap on. I'm not great at installing things but this was pretty easy. After taking the lens cap off, I was able to see the menu (which is folders much like what is on a PC) and navigate to display the movie scenes on the screen. It's a nice option that you can click on multiple scenes and they will loop. The most robust holiday that comes with their system is Halloween with six different movie scenes. The scenes were quite scary and would definitely create a creepy atmosphere for Halloween.
The other holidays that have movies are Valentine's Day (with floating hearts and cupids), Fourth of July (firecracker displays), Easter, Halloween, Christmas and one general movie with floating balloons and streamers that would be great for birthdays. You can purchase additional scenes from $6.99 – $9.99 on Atmos FX' website. In addition to the holidays I mentioned they have decorations for football parties, St. Patrick's Day and Thanksgiving.
Here's what their Valentine's movie looks like:
The movie projections are designed to go on your window so that when people approach your house they will see a cool movie animation. I can definitely see using this to create an appropriate atmosphere for Halloween, Fourth of July and Christmas parties.
The digital decorating kit includes:
They also have another more upscale package which includes a high-definition projector for $299.
Is it worth $199? I would say yes. For one thing, it's not big and easy to store unlike the crates of holiday decorations many of us have in our garages. The ability to use the same item for many holidays is definitely a plus.
Besides home use, I would recommend this item to nonprofits and schools who have parties and want to create a fun atmosphere.

HTC Hero :: Can't 'switch Off' Screen And Put Phone In Pocket And Call While WalkingOct 6, 2009
I've switched from the iPhone to the Hero a week ago. I really like the Hero, even though some functions are better on the iphone (like the musci player).
There is one Issue however, which is really bugging me with the HTC, which might make me switch back to the iPHone if I can't find a solution.
When I call with my headset (Not the original ones, I don't have huge ear holes....) I can't "switch off" the screen and put the phone in my pocket and call while walking... This sucks, as I have to hold the phone in my hands, which kind of kills the idea of having a headset.

Henry of Navarre, also known as King Henry IV of France, ended the long, bloody War of the Three Henrys between Catholics and Protestants in 1594 after converting to Catholicism. Four years later, he helped to negotiate the Peace of Vervins between Spain and France.
After the death of King Henry II and his heir Francois, Henry of Navarre became the heir to the French throne. However, this was strongly opposed by Catholics, leading to Pope Clement VIII excommunicating Henry from the church. At this time, Henry III became King of France, despite Henry of Navarre being the heir, which led to the War of the Three Henrys. Henry of Navarre was also opposed by Henry the Duke of Guise.
During this conflict, King Henry III eventually sided with Henry of Navarre due to the Duke of Guise enlisting the help of Spain in the conflict. Eventually, Henry III named Henry of Navarre as his heir soon before he died. However, it took another nine years before he could finally claim his throne, after finally taking control of Paris in 1594.
Soon after, Henry IV negotiated the peace treaty with Spain, he then issued the Edict of Nantes, which called for an end to hostilities between Catholics and Protestants, eventually restoring peace to France.

Cooks Exchange
A winning recipe for fish fresh from the gulf
As much as I enjoy fresh seafood, I'm iffy on fish. Fish cannot have a hint of fishy-ness; I don't like to look out for bones either. I thought I'd share a winning dish from a recent local competition.
Chef Glenn Clark of Palace Casino in Mississippi took home the gold at the Great Mississippi Seafood Cook Off for his coconut and panko crusted Gulf red snapper, accompanied by purple mashed potatoes, lemon-infused beurre blanc and caramelized orange slices. He garnished his dish with a refreshing pineapple and orange sorbet. Can you say, awesome?
He will compete in the National Seafood Cook Off in August in New Orleans. The Department of Marine Resources sponsored the Mississippi cookoff to showcase the Coast's seafood.
Clark's winning recipe, which also showcases his Jamaican roots and training, is lengthy, but not so difficult that a home chef could not make it if he/she wanted to invest the time.
5 ounces red snapper (per person)
Juice of 2 limes
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, chopped
Salt and pepper
6 ounces coconut milk
2 ounces shredded coconut
5 ounces panko bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
Extra virgin olive oil, for frying
Wash fish with lime juice. Marinate fish in seasoned coconut milk with salt, pepper and Scotch bonnet pepper to taste. Place fish in egg wash, coat with coconut and panko bread crumbs. Pan fry fish in olive oil in hot skillet until golden brown on each side. If desired,
place in oven at 250 to 300 degrees for 5 minutes.
4 purple potatoes
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound butter
1 cup heavy cream
Cook potatoes, drain, add salt, pepper, butter and cream. Mash potatoes to desired consistency.
2 slices of orange
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Sprinkle orange slices with brown sugar and place in oven for 5 minutes at 350 degrees.
3 oranges
1 pineapple
2 cups lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
Combine orange, pineapple, lemon juice and sugar in a food processor until you get a smooth paste. Add more sugar if necessary. Transfer to an ice cream machine and freeze.
Zest of 1 lemon
1 pound lump crab meat
2 teaspoons cracked pepper
1 shallot
1/2 cup white wine
Salt and pepper
1 quart heavy cream
1 pound butter
Sweat shallot and cracked pepper in a knot of butter. Add white wine and lemon zest, reduce by half, add heavy cream and reduce heavy cream by half. Add lump crab meat. Finish sauce with cold butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Mary Huey of Long Beach, Miss., asked for readers' help in finding her lost recipe for Orange Grove cake. Dora Harrison found the recipe atwww.Tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Orange-Grove-Cake.
1 cup butter, softened
1-3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3 cups cake flour
2- 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup 2-percent milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch
2/3 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons water
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon orange extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange juice and peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
Transfer to two greased and floured 9-inch round baking pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in orange juice and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat.
Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; gently stir in the lemon juice, orange peel and salt. Cool to room temperature without stirring. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
For syrup, in a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water and orange juice to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until reduced to about 1/2 cup. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Cool.
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients; beat until smooth.
Cut each cake horizontally into two layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; brush with 2 tablespoons syrup and spread with 1/3 cup filling. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake layer; brush with remaining syrup. Frost top and sides of cake. Yield: 16 servings.

Hungarian recipe
John and Marie Panyik of Ellenton share a Hungarian Goulash recipe for Helen Moroz of Holmes Beach. It is taken from "Gundel's Hungarian Cookbook" that the Panyiks bought in Budapest, Hungary.
2- 1/2 cups cubed beef
5 tablespoons lard
1/8 cup onion
1 tablespoon paprika
Salt, garlic, caraway seeds, to taste
Cold water
1-1/4 pounds potatoes
1 cup green pepper
1 small fresh tomato
Stock (use desired amount)
6 portions of soup pasta (csipetke) (recipe follows)
Use meat rich in gelatine (chin beef, blade or neck). Cube meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Fry the chopped onion in the melted lard until it is golden yellow. Lower the heat, then add the paprika, stir it rapidly, add the meat, keep on stirring, add salt. When the meat is browned and all the liquid is evaporated, add the caraway seeds, finely chopped garlic and a small amount of cold water, cover and braise the meat slowly. Stir it occasionally and add small quantities of water if necessary. The meat should be braised, not boiled.
While the meat is cooking, cube the potatoes, green pepper and tomatoes into 1/3-inch pieces and prepare the dough for the soup pasta (csipetke). Just before the meat is completely tender, reduce the pan juices, add the cubed potatoes, let them brown slightly, add the stock, green pepper and tomato. When the potato is almost cooked and the soup is ready to be served, add the pasta and adjust quantity by the addition of stock or water.
SOUP PASTA (Csipetke)
3/4 cup flour
1 egg
Prepare a stiff dough from the flour and egg (do not use water). On a floured board roll it out as thinly as you can. Then with floured fingers pinch small fingernail size bits out of it. (The Hungarian name csipetke means pinched pieces.) Add the bits to the boiling soup, stir the soup a few times. The pasta will be cooked when it comes to the surface of the soup, in about 2-3 minutes.

When bear cub Berna got stuck at the top of the tree mum Bjork wasted no time waiting for the fire brigade - she grabbed the tree and gave it a good shake to brink the cub down.
When that failed she clambered up the young tree until it bent over touching the ground - allowing the curious youngster to scramble onto the ground in safety.
The whole incident was watched by Berna's brother Urs, who together have been getting into all sorts of mischief at Bern zoo in Switzerland.
This video proves that bear mum Bjork is keeping a careful eye on them though - even if it means destroying a few trees in the process.

Happy Friday everyone! I'm so delighted to post my first outfit during the holiday season! Seattle is lovely all year round, but during holidays, it gets very special. The streets are dazzling with twinkling lights and Christmas decorations. In this pleasant atmosphere, I chose a black & white outfit to stay simple. It is so classic yet a little bit formal so that you can wear it to the workplace or even office parties. For this chic outfit, I simply paired it with some golden accessories, which added a modern touch.
Thank you so much for reading! Happy weekend and happy holidays!

The number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits rose by a less-than-expected 18,000 last week to 366,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis, a Labor Department report showed on Thursday.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast initial claims for state unemployment insurance benefits to rebound to 380,000 after a sharp drop the prior week to 348,000 that was initially reported as 346,000.
Claims data is volatile because of annual auto plant shutdowns. The latest week's increase partly reflects the larger-than-expected decline the week before, a Labor Department official said.
On a non-adjusted basis, claims had been expected to rise 12.9 percent last week, but actually rose 18.5 percent, the official said.
The four-week average of new jobless claims, a better gauge of underlying labor trends because it irons out week-to-week volatility, fell to 376,500 from 381,000 the week before. It was the second consecutive weekly drop in that measure.
The number of people remaining on benefit rolls after drawing an initial week of aid fell to 3.12 million in the week ended July 5 - the most recent data available - which was less than the 3.20 million that analysts expected.
Still, it was the 12th straight week that these continued claims were above 3 million, a sign the slow U.S. economy has made it harder for workers to find jobs.

An escaped convict broke into a house and tied up a young couple in their bedroom.
The husband turned to his wife and whispered, "Honey, this guy hasn't seen action in years. If he wants sex, I think it's best to just go along with it and pretend you like it. Our lives depend on it."
"I'm so relieved you feel that way," replies his wife, "because he told me he thinks you're really cute."

- Yes I'm occupied
- About Me
- I started gaming back during the old wargaming craze and thought I'd found a lifetime hobby. Then a few work mates dragged me to an early D&D gaming session, and I never looked back. My first (and second) computer was a Mac, so I didn't get to enjoy many of the older classic cRPGs. Eventually I caved, purchased a Windoze PC, and rediscovered the past and present of computer games.
- Interests
- Things I like
- I enjoy astronomy, the great outdoors, sci-fi, 3D modeling, humor, a nice alcoholic beverage, and computer gaming -- not necessarily in that order. Oh, and world peace through diplomacy, of course.
- Favorite RPGs
- My favorite system has been HERO for just about forever. Unfortunately it proved difficult to find a group. I did a lot of GURPS and D&D tabletop gaming back in the day. Now I mostly play cRPGs, especially squad-based fantasy or sci-fi subjects. I'm not overly picky though, unlike some gamers.
- Favorite MMOs
- Poking with a stick. Mmm nope, never felt the urge.
- Favorite Non-RPGs
- Well I'll have to say Football (both types). Just the local teams though.
- Favorite movies
- Sci-fi, fantasy, heroic adventure, or the occasional romantic comedy.
- Favorite music
- Alternative, reggae, light jazz, EDM, and some classical. I used to like hard rock, but my ears are less tolerant to assault these days.
- Favorite books
- Give me an engrossing sci-fi book any day. Alternatively, a plausible fantasy or horror survival.
- System Specifications
- Windows 8.1

Kaweco Ice Sport Gel Roller Pen BlueWrite a Review
Translucent stands for the idea "to make the invisible visible". The Kaweco ICE Sport has the same characteristics and comes in a colourful variety. The chunky octagonal profile gives this pen a presence in the hand, making it a real joy to hold.
Made from tough but exceptionally lightweight ABS plastic. Features the Kaweco logo in silver-coloured metal on the end of the cap. Large-capacity liquid ink rollerball refill – capless quality. Supplied as black medium tip. Presented in a simple card box.
There are only a few writing instruments which have been successful in the market for decades without big changes. One of them is the Kaweco CLASSIC Sport fountain pen. It follows the design of the year 1935. Outstanding because of its unique form and size.
In 1911 something special occurred with the Kaweco Sport. A pocket fountain pen which everyone could carry anywhere. Just 10.5 cm big when closed, and with the cap on top of the barrel it grew to a standard size pen. Small in the pocket and big in the hand: The Kaweco Sport.
Sepp Herberger already appreciated these characteristics. It was with a Kaweco Sport that the former coach of the German national soccer team wrote on a piece of paper his winning tactics which brought the Germans to the world cup in 1954.

After giving it a lot of thought we made the tough decision not to make the annual pilgrimage to Wellington for Beervana this year. Beervana is an amazing event for the beer community in New Zealand and we have always really enjoyed the opportunities it provides to meet and talk to new and old beer enthusiasts, sample and sell our range of beers to new and old Moa supporters, and generally enjoy and help foster the growing enthusiasm for a movement towards better beer in New Zealand.
But you can't do everything all of the time and after exhibiting at the Great Kiwi Beer Festival, Marchfest, Taste of Sydney and GABS Melbourne earlier this year, along with GABS Sydney and Fieldays for the first time as well as putting on a series of Grape vs Grain wine and beer gourmet food matching dinners across the country, we'll be giving Beervana a miss this year.
We're planning on being back at Beervana again next year and have some great ideas about what we'd like to do, but for the time being we'll be focusing on some other exciting projects (and new beers) we have got on the boil.
- Josh, David and the team at Moa

BOSTON--Nearly two-thirds (65%) of institutional investors predict that the decade-long US bull market will end in the next 12 months, bringing to a close the historic bull market that brought record-high stock prices and record-low volatility. But even as they anticipate more turbulent times, six in ten investors say they feel prepared to handle the risks in 2019, according to a new report released today by Natixis Investment Managers.
Active features prominently in portfolio plans (Graphic: Business Wire)
"Our research shows institutional investors are already positioned for the potential market turbulence on the horizon," said David Giunta, CEO for the US and Canada at Natixis Investment Managers. "For these sophisticated investors, actively managed strategies and alternative investments are their tools of choice to help optimize their portfolios for the challenges ahead."
Natixis Investment Managers' Center for Investor Insight surveyed 500 institutional investors around the world on their market outlook and asset allocation plans for 2019. These investors manage more than $16 trillion of assets for retirees, governments, insurance companies and other institutions.
According to the findings, institutional investors anticipated today's market challenges given the trends of the past several years. As a result, few of them plan drastic changes to return assumptions or portfolio strategy and will remain focused on active management to guide them through more volatile markets in the year ahead. Eight in ten (79%) institutional investors agree the market environment in 2019 is likely to be favorable for active portfolio management. Accordingly, investors continue to increase their allocations to active strategies while their use of passive strategies continues to decline. Current allocations are split 70% active and 30% passive, up from 64% active with 36% passive in 2015.
The study also found:
- Long-term return goals deemed achievable: Institutional investors say their organization's current long-term target return is 6.7%, and three-quarters (77%) believe their firm's return assumption is realistically achievable. More than half (56%) expect to keep their assumed rate of return unchanged in 2019, although 35% plan to lower it and 9% expect to raise it.
- Little changes in portfolio allocations: Despite expectations for the bull market's end, institutional investors foresee minimal changes to their portfolio allocations in 2019. Investors expect to reduce their equity allocations from 38% of their portfolios to 36% while increasing fixed income from 37% to 38% and cash from 5% to 6%. They expect no change in their alternatives allocation (at 18%). Among the biggest moves within classes, 41% of institutional investors expect to decrease exposure to US equities, and 36% expect to increase exposure to infrastructure.
- Tech and healthcare top sector calls for 2019: Institutions have the greatest confidence in the information technology (40%), healthcare (39%), energy (36%) and financial (36%) sectors to produce above-market returns.
- Geopolitics seen as the biggest threat to performance: Three-quarters of investors (77%) see geopolitical disruptions such as North Korea and Brexit as having a negative impact on investment performance in 2019, followed by trade disputes (74%), the unwinding of quantitative easing (65%), interest rate increases (56%) and market volatility (54%).
- Rates and volatility spikes lead portfolio risks: Institutional investors most frequently point to interest rates (56%) as the biggest portfolio risk. Volatility spikes (52%) come in a close second, which is not surprising in light of recent market performance. Regulatory constraints (32%) and liquidity (32%) also are cited as part of the risk discussion.
- Potential for bubbles: Seven in ten (71%) institutional investors believe their individual investor counterparts are unaware of asset bubbles, but they see the potential for such bubbles across multiple asset classes: cryptocurrency (64%), technology sector (45%), stock market (41%), bonds (33%), real estate (32%) and China (24%). Six in ten (61%) institutional investors list asset bubbles as being among the biggest threats to investment performance next year.
"Institutional investors have time horizons that average ten years or more, so while it is important for them to look at factors that will affect short-term performance, the survey results also yield critical insight into bigger issues, such as interest rates, political upheaval and the debt crisis that institutions see as driving long-term investment strategy," said Bob Hussey, Executive Vice President of Sales Management at Natixis Investment Managers.
According to the report, institutional investors also have identified several trends that will drive their long-term investment strategy. Among them are:
- Volatility is the new reality
Institutional investors have warned for the past two years that volatility could return in earnest. Volatility topped their list of concerns for 2017,1 and 78% predicted the stock market would be more volatile this year.2 Looking ahead to 2019, a majority once again expects greater volatility in the stock (84%) and bond markets (70%). Institutional investors say that market-neutral liquid alternative strategies are best-suited to reduce risk.
- A transition from low yields to rising rates
Historically low interest rates have driven post-crisis investment strategy, but the Federal Reserve has been increasing rates, and 76% of institutional investors expect rates to increase further in 2019. Institutions report they are more concerned about the pace of rate hikes (53%) than about the actual level of the increases (27%). If rates rise too fast, for example, it could result in even higher levels of volatility.
- Active management matters more
The active versus passive debate, ongoing among retail investors, is settled among their institutional counterparts. Six in ten institutional investors (61%) say active investments outperform passive investments in the long run, and 78% say they are willing to pay a higher fee for strategies that can deliver outperformance.
- The expanding role of private assets
A combination of uncertain returns and rising rates has institutional investors turning to private markets. Half (51%) say that private equity or private debt are an important part of their organization's portfolio. Such assets provide higher returns (according to 71% of respondents) and greater diversification (according to 60%). The performance potential of private assets makes them worth the higher fees they often command, say 68% of investors.
- A new crisis is lurking
Investors are less sanguine about the longer term. Although roughly half (52%) of institutional investors believe that regulations put in place after the financial crisis have been effective at mitigating market risk, most (70%) believe that another global financial crisis will occur within the next five years.
The report, titled "Keep Calm and Invest On," includes additional trends and concrete findings guiding institutional investors' ongoing investment strategy. To download a copy of the full report, im.natixis.com/us/research/institutional-investor-survey-2019-outlook.

Data were gathered in October and November 2018 by the research firm CoreData.

What makes a great dive - my rule number 2
Customer's regularly line up, out the door to get a table. If I'm ever driving thru a small town (and haven't done my homework to get local insights thru Chowhound.com) my best results are usually from looking for restaurants with packed parking lots, or, even better, customers lining up out the door. Linda and I love Asian food. We also detest buffets, and the standard southern chinese restaurants with all you can eat enticements. I can't tell you how thrilled we are with Maggie and Jason Lin's Rice Box Restaurant. Their food, service, even bathrooms are always exceptional. Jason is the head chef (rule number 1). There are usually lines out the door (rule number 2). -- What the heck am I doing here with rules?? I hate rules! We LOVE the Rice Box (pictured above). Oh - it's no DIVE.

EDMONTON — An alliance of employer organizations is asking for a meeting with Alberta Premier Rachel Notley to discuss what it calls the "dire economic situation'' in the province.
The alliance — made up of 15 associations representing contractors, retailers, energy sector companies and others — has sent an open letter to the premier.
It states that recent policies, such as the carbon tax, corporate and personal income tax increases and changes to the minimum wage, are undermining business confidence and competitiveness during the economic downturn.
The group says it doesn't want to see any further tax increases and is also seeking a delay in the next proposed minimum wage hike.
It's also seeking a moratorium on any new policies that could have a detrimental effect on the ability of business to create jobs, attract capital investment and compete globally.
There has been no immediate response to the letter from Notley.

we went to detroit last weekend to see the george nelson exhibit at cranbrook and then explored corktown a bit, had coffee at astro coffee, and then dinner at slows bbq. outside of slows while eleanor was busy converting someone who didn't like kids to her new best friend we chatted with a local about detroit and what a cool, underrated town it is. i felt at home there, nostalgic maybe for cincinnati, and was thankful that it is only a 2.5 hour drive away.
