A Fund That Won by Tracking the Dow
But investors could have done even better with SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) , which returned 8.3% annually over the past ten years. The Dow Jones ETF seems particularly notable because it was less volatile than the S&P 500. During recent downturns, the Dow has outdone the S&P 500 by comfortable margins.
Should you dump your S&P 500 funds and shift to the Dow Jones choice? Not necessarily. The Dow average is a peculiar contraption that may not excel in every market. But there is a strong case for shock-proofing a portfolio by putting a limited amount of assets into the Dow.
Charles Dow created his index in 1896 by adding up the prices of 12 stocks. Since then, the benchmark has been expanded to include 30 leading companies that are broadly representative of the U.S. economy. A Dow Jones committee picks the names, seeking to find dominant businesses that should maintain their strong positions because of their competitive advantages.
The committee's judgments are subjective, and there are no mechanical rules dictating when new names must be included. Still, the committee has proven adept over the years, selecting rock-solid blue chips. The ETF now holds such reliable performers as Exxon Mobil (XOM) , Caterpillar (CAT) , and Coca-Cola (KO) .
Though it includes a limited number of names, the portfolio does provide some diversification because holdings are massive multinationals that operate in many businesses and derive much their sales overseas. "The Dow Jones ETF offers a way to own very high quality companies that can do relatively well in downturns," says Alex Bryan, a Morningstar ETF analyst.
The giants in the portfolio may not grow as fast as the latest technology stars, but many of the Dow stocks pay reliable dividends. The ETF yields 2.4%, a nice payout at a time when the S&P 500 yields 2.1%. Because the Dow stocks are not necessarily glamorous, they sell at modest multiples. The ETF has a price-earnings ratio of 12.9, compared to 14.0 for the S&P 500.
Though it is representative of many industries, the portfolio is skewed toward a few holdings because of the benchmark's peculiar weighting system. Under the Dow Jones rules, stocks are weighted according to their share prices. So the biggest holding is IBM (IBM) , which has a share price of $199 and accounts for 11% of assets. Microsoft (MSFT) only accounts for 1.5% of assets because its share price is around $27.


text: Ok, first of all, Elmo is on this photo because Derek Jeter making this year's All-Star team is a joke. Somebody please answer this question for me. At 37 years of age, coming fresh off the DL this past Monday with a bum right calf muscle, hitting .256 with only 2 home runs and 20 RBI, how the heck did Derek Jeter get voted into the 2011 All-Star game? What kind of All-Star game is this where the more deserving players who are having real All-Star seasons keep on getting snubbed out of making the team? I always thought the All-Star game was for those players who are having All-Star type seasons. What's going on out here?

Strong punchy taste
Posted by odereviews on Dec 31, 2012
This tea is punchy, and tasty. You just need to let it steep long enough. Ginger will kick in first, and then the tangy hibiscus. Out of all the Rishi Teas this is my favorite. Rishi Tea is packed in a tin can with inner cap that helps to preserve tea better.
Huge disappointment. Probably a matter of personal preference.
Posted by 4944035044121289304 on Jan 11, 2014
This was my first Rishi tea, and I had some high hopes for it before I purchased it. I imagined something like Bigelow's Spiced Orange, with more flavor but it was a completely different interpretation of "Spicy Citrus". I do believe they have used quality ingredients. However the taste just really rubbed me the wrong way and I found it really intolerable. It was kind of sour as I drank it, no it wasn't just the right amount of tang, but it was right off sour, and then it left a really weird aftertaste that made me wanna throw up. I think it was the ginger and licorice. Licorice and me not very good friends. I think I'll go back to Bigelow and stick with the Spiced Orange.
I Love this TEA!!

Refreshing, a little spicy
Posted by 5146456352335272331 on Oct 10, 2014
This tea is very enjoyable. The tart tangerine and spicy ginger play off each other. Great aroma.

This is meeting #16 for Citizenship and Immigration in the 41st Parliament, 1st Session.
The transcript is not available, though the minutes are (on Parliament's site). That's because the meeting was held in camera—that is, the majority of the members chose to exclude the public from the meeting.

Therefore this helmet is supposed to help with concussions and has so many color ways. It?s so comfortable and soft, when I hit someone with my shoulder pad to helmet I give them concussions because I hit so hard but when I get hit by someones shoulder pads to helmet I?m fine. The Riddell Speed Helmet is a great helmet. Its good on concussions because the new technology with the gel and foam helps with concussions. The pads are so comfortable the way the gel forms to your head.You don?t want to have a concussion because you lose memory and more. The helmet is worth the price, it retails about $200, most helmets are about $300 or more most kids now wear the Riddell speed helmet. If you have a direct hit the colors will not scrape off. The Riddell Speed Helmet is lighter than most helmets because the new technology. When you get this helmet, you will see it has a great design.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Teach Great Helmet My son loves it. He says it is the best helmet he has ever worn. I love the fact that it gives an added layer of protection. September 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Football dad This is a great helmet....but My son is 10 years old and 70 lbs soaking wet. He is playing against kids 135 lbs, so I wanted to get him the best helmet availabe. This was it. He loved it, he said it was comfortable, it fit great,and the padding was superior to what was being offered by the team to wear. HOWEVER, he was banned from using it! The team he is playing for does not allow any outside equipment to be used, so now I have to send it back.I recommend that you check with teams coaches and league president before purchasing any equipment to avoid the problems that we encountered. He is now forced to wear a 10 yr old helmet that is not as safe or comfortable. IF you are really concerned about safety, step up as parents and help stop this old fashioned thinking that these organizations supply the best available equipment for our children.

PD 2009-05 Guideline 6 - Changing Graduate Programs
- Principles
- G1-Applying for Graduation
- G2-Restricting Enrollment Options
- G3-Declaring Majors
- G4ÐChanging Majors
- G5ÐFailure to Make Academic Progress
- G6ÐGraduate Students
- G7ÐAppeals of Decisions
- Appendix A - Classification and Prioritization of Students
- Appendix B - Summary of Super Seniors from Spring 2010
6.1 Double master's degrees.
6.1.1 Pursuit of two simultaneous master's degrees will be permitted only under the following circumstance. A student in good standing enrolled in one master's program may pursue a second master's degree by means of a change of major, the form for which is available at www.sjsu.edu/gape/current_students/forms. University admission need not be sought. The stipulation, however, is that the student may not apply for and be awarded either degree and graduate until the second degree program is complete. Therefore, both degrees must effectively be completed at the same time, and diplomas will be issued for both degrees. If a student changes majors into a second program while still pursuing the first degree and applies for graduation before the second program has been completed, he or she will be awarded the first master's degree and will lose matriculated status. Student status will thus be revoked and pursuit of the second degree prohibited.
6.1.2 Alternatively, if a second master's degree is desired but will not be completed at the same time as the first, the student must file for graduation from the first degree program and formally apply for admission into the second program. That would require a full application via CSU Mentor, submission of all documentation required by the university and the department of the second master's program, and acceptance by both entities. The student should be aware that pursuit of a second master's degree will receive a lower priority for acceptance; the university adheres to the philosophy that, with limited slots available for graduate study, those in their initial undertaking should have a chance before others have a second chance.
6.2 Graduate course exemption. Graduate students who have only to complete thesis or project courses, having successfully completed all other course work for their degree, are restricted from registration for courses outside of their degree program (thus courses absent from their candidacy form). However, the Associate Vice President of Graduate Studies & Research, if petitioned by the department on behalf of the student, may grant an exception to this directive. The exemption would be based on the benefit for the student, for example, electives pertinent to the field of study that were not available earlier.
6.3 Once all requirements for the master's degree have been met, including culminating experience, students will not be permitted to delay degree conferral and graduation, such as by filing for a change in date for award of master's degree or by taking additional courses. The petition to delay the graduation date will be denied, and registration in additional courses as a matriculated student will be blocked.

Committee passes teacher education credit bill
BOISE, Idaho - Teachers that have earned advanced degrees could again be eligible for higher salaries under a measure passed by the House Education committee.
The bill approved Monday would repeal a freeze imposed two years ago on pay increases for teachers who go back to school for more training. The proposal would restore $4 million annually for salaries.
Teacher pay has traditionally been determined by a matrix that increased pay based on years served and degrees earned. But teachers who earned advanced degrees were no longer eligible for pay hikes under Idaho's fiscal year 2011 budget.
The Students Come First laws unfroze the salary grid, but teachers getting new education credits were stuck again when those measures were repealed by voters last November.
The now moves to the full House for debate.

Unlined Bras
Women wear unlined bras for many reasons: some simply seek a comfortable bra, some like the sexiness of a sheer unlined bra, some like to have only the lightest layer. Whether you're looking for a bralette or an unlined underwire bra, we stock a large selection of unlined bras that meet your needs from comfort to style. Unlined bras take as many forms as one can imagine. Some are completely softcup and contain no wire along with no padding or lining. These may make ideal sleeping bras or casual leisure bras. Others may contain an underwire for support and shaping of the bust. Some unlined bras have cups woven into them with support bands. Many unlined bras are unadorned, but there are plenty of lacy options if that is your preference. Let's take a look at the unlined bras in this section of the store.
One of the prettiest and most comfortable options to check out if you are interested in a bra without a lining is the Lace Kiss Bralette by B.tempt'd 910182. This gorgeous piece gives moderate support and makes a sexy overnight option. Moms to be and recent moms often love the sheer and soft support of an unlined bra. The Easy Bra by Majamas 08-2500 adds stretch to the mix and the result is one of the most popular maternity bras in the market. Think an unlined bra can't pack a lot of support? Try the Specialized Posture Corrector Bra by Co'Coon 2196 and think again. And of course if you're looking for something a little more lacy, you will love the Emily Unlined Full Busted Bra by Felina 19004 with its sheer sexy style.

What is a low-purine diet?
A low-purine diet is an eating plan that limits foods that contain purine. Purines are a natural substance found in some foods. When your body digests purine, a waste product called uric (say: "yur-ick") acid is produced. A buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints can cause a type of arthritis known as gout.
Purines are found in many healthy foods. The purpose of a low-purine diet is not to completely avoid purines. Instead, the goals are to limit and monitor how much purine is in the food you eat, and to learn how your body responds when you eat different foods that contain purine.
Who should follow a low-purine diet?
Your family doctor may recommend that you follow a low-purine diet if you have gout or another condition caused by high levels of uric acid (also called hyperuricemia). Following a low-purine diet may help reduce symptoms such as pain, redness and tenderness in your joints.
Our understanding of the role that eating habits play in conditions such as gout is becoming more clear as researchers learn more about these diseases. Keep in mind that dietary changes alone usually do not completely relieve gout symptoms. Talk with your family doctor about the benefit of dietary changes. If your family doctor has prescribed medicine for your gout, keep taking it until your doctor tells you to stop.
How do I get started?
Start by learning which of the foods that you eat are high in purine. Try to avoid eating high-purine foods and limit the amount of moderate-purine foods you eat. See the chart below for some suggestions.
|Chicken, beef, pork and duck
|At least 12 cups of fluid, such as water or fruit juice
|Soft drinks that contain sugar
|Crab, lobster, oysters and shrimp
|Low-fat and fat-free dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt
|Fatty food
|Lunch meats, especially high-fat versions
|Eggs (in moderation)
|Organ meats, such as liver, from any animal source
|Peanut butter and nuts
|Bacon, veal and venison
|Rice, noodles, pasta and potatoes
|Anchovies, sardines, herring, mussels, codfish, scallops, trout and haddock
|Wine (in moderation)
|Coffee (in moderation)
Different people's bodies react differently to different foods. You will probably learn over time what foods do or do not affect you. If you discover that a food tends to cause your gout to flare up, avoid eating that food. Likewise, you can more freely enjoy foods that do not cause problems.
Losing weight can also help reduce symptoms of gout. However, it's important not to lose weight too quickly. Fasting and rapid weight-loss diets can actually increase the amount of uric acid in your body. Also avoid low-carbohydrate diets that are high in protein and fat because foods that are high in protein and fat usually contain significant amounts of purine.

Our friends at Stereogum premiered a new video, directed by Yoonha Park, of Small Black's "Photojournalist." The song is taken from the band's current Jagjaguwar release New Chain.
Park's video is a clever visual reinterpretation of the LP's sonic profile. Using time lapse photography, and two different actresses in overlapping roles, the sense of layering, of woozy pitch bend, and of intricately woven grooves is eloquently communicated.
There are too many music videos that don't have this musical sensitivity. At its worst, the medium can feel like visual PR. When directors play it too cute, or try to cram the frame with celebrity cameos, or create a provocative scene for provocativeness' sake, we seldom feel that the song is elevated by its accompanying visuals.
Happily, there are a number of directors like Park who treat the music video as an art form; one that helps to disseminate AND elucidate what should be its principal subject matter – the music!
When this happens, the promotional aim of a music video should take care of itself. Seeing the video for "Photojournalist" will encourage you to hear more of Small Chain. As well it should: it's a terrific outing by this Brooklynite collective.

Eric Fellner
Executive Producer
Working Title Films, co-chaired by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner since 1992, is Europe's leading film production company. Together, Tim and Eric have made more than 70 films that have grossed nearly three billion dollars worldwide. Their films have won four Academy Awards (for Dead Man Walking, Fargo, and Elizabeth), nineteen BAFTA Awards (including ones for Love Actually, Billy Elliot and Four Weddings and a Funeral), and prestigious prizes at the Cannes and Berlin International Film Festivals.
In 1999, a new division, WT², run by Natascha Wharton, was formed with the purpose of providing an energetic and creatively fertile home for key emerging U.K. film talent and lower-budgeted productions. Its first film, Stephen Daldry's Billy Elliot, was released in 2000 and became an international critical and commercial hit. The film grossed over $100 million worldwide, earned three Academy Award and two Golden Globe Award nominations, and was named Best Feature at the British Independent Film Awards.
The division has since made Mark Mylod's Ali G Indahouse, starring Sacha Baron Cohen, which was a smash in the U.K.; Marcus Adams' horror film Long Time Dead; Marc Evans' acclaimed thriller My Little Eye; the comedy The Calcium Kid,starring Orlando Bloom and directed by Alex De Rakoff; and Shaun of the Dead.
WT²'s next two films, currently in post-production, are Terry Loane's directorial debut, Mickybo & Me, starring Julie Walters, Ciaran Hinds, Adrian Dunbar, and Gina McKee; and Rory O'Shea Was Here, directed by Damien O'Donnell and starring James McAvoy, Steven Robertson, Romola Garai, and Brenda Fricker. The latter film will be released in the U.S. by Focus Features.
Current and upcoming Working Title films include Jonathan Frakes' Thunderbirds, starring Bill Paxton, Sophia Myles, and Sir Ben Kingsley; Richard Loncraine's Wimbledon, starring Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany; Beeban Kidron's Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, reuniting Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant, and Colin Firth; Sydney Pollack's The Interpreter, starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn; Kirk Jones' Nanny McPhee, written by and starring Emma Thompson; and Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley. The latter film, adapted from the classic Jane Austen novel, will be released in the U.S. by Focus Features.

Lydia,Thanks for the great pics of M&E pizza. I've never had one and am looking forward to it.Yes, they have a very thin gum line and I hope you're not worrying too much about that...it is almost inevitable, I believe, with this type of sheeted dough. I know you often hear people report about "the dreaded gum line"....I happen to like it. Anyway, this dough is a bit thicker than I realized....hope it is not giving you too much trouble. Bob
Flour vs yeast freshness...that new type of yeast packet is an IDY yeast, correct?I keep my IDY in the freezer(1 lb. bag) and it can go a year and still be golden.....3 month old freshly milled flour should not give you any problems either though I wouldn't think Bob
Thanks for continuing on this...sounds like you are having good experimental results. Bob
That's great news Lydia!! In all the hustle bustle of putting a house together, uprooting yourselves and replanting in a state thousands of miles away, the one thing on your mind is making a better pizza? I got to hand it to you Lydia, you are a hardcore pizza lover.
QUESTION??Have you guys ever been in a Pizza Hut that is sit-down restaurant with table clothes, trifold menus and a waiter? This was a bit of a shock for me, but what really messed with my head is that it's also a DRIVE_THRU And has clearly been a drive-thru since the 60's or 70's

While carousing Macca Central the past few days, harking back to The Beatles and activism, listening to artists speak about elections and war, it has always got me thinking about the dilemna:
How much (if any, do artists have an influence over their audiance - and is their awareness/opinion good in that it spurs us to get information, communicate and form our own opinions?
Secondly, if we buy a ticket to see them perform, how much of their opinions-information apart from the music do we want/not to hear?
Is the artist courageous and genuine in risking profit$? Or arrogant and pushy?
I recently went to Amazon.Com to read reviews about Jackson Browne's new acoustic album - and wow - it was more volatile than Macca Central dearing "Seal Week!" This because of his political comments ON the CD of his concert performance.
As Paul sings, there's a "Fine Line" for some folks, a bigger strip for some and a free-way for others. How much - if any is your cup of tea?
Now remember the forum rules and be respectful of Mike's wishes.

As the summer heats up, more cats are going outside and exploring their surroundings. However, this can come with some hidden dangers that owners should be aware of. One such danger is the Aspergillus fungus, a type of mold that can cause the disease aspergillosis in cats.
There are many types of Aspergillus mold, although not all are harmful to cats. Typically, a cat that breathes in the spores of Aspergillus will be able to combat the fungi through their normal immune system. There are numerous protective mechanisms that prevent these spores from reaching the lungs, such as the mucus and cilia lining the walls of a cat's respiratory tract.
However, cats with a suppressed immune system, or those suffering from asthma or lung disease, may be more susceptible to Aspergillus spores, putting them at a greater risk for aspergillosis. The clinical signs and treatment will depend on where the fungus settles in the body.
Nasal aspergillosis is the most common form of the disease diagnosed in cats, and can cause serious issues with the cat's nose. It's possible for the fungus to erode the small and delicate sinus bones located in the cat's nose. This will likely result in a nasal discharge, typically localized to one nostril. A foul-smelling mucus coming from the cat's nose is very common during aspergillosis, and may last for several weeks. Intermittent nosebleeds are also sometimes recorded. Nasal aspergillosis is easy to confuse with other upper respiratory infection in cats, so it is important for pet owners to take the animal in to a veterinarian in order to get an accurate diagnose and treatment.
Unfortunately, not all cases of aspergillosis remain in the nose. In rare instances, the spores can travel through the respiratory system and even enter the bloodstream, moving on to other organs, in what is known as systemic aspergillosis. In these situations, the issue can cause damage to any part of the body that it travels to. Anti-fungal medications are available, but they can have significant side effects on important organs such as the kidneys and a cat must be monitored carefully while taking these medications. Generally, the prognosis for a cat with this kind of aspergillosis is not good, although it can be survived if caught early and no major parts of the body have been irreparably damaged.
Ultimately, pet owners should not concern themselves too much with aspergillosis, as it is relatively rare and usually prevented by a healthy immune system. However, owners should still keep their cats away from mold or fungus of any kind, especially if the cat suffers from respiratory problems or has a weakened immune system.

As someone new to the Anthem, I thought I'd post this here. I have a small shop in Boston that specializes in left-handed fine acoustic guitars.
I just got in my first lefty Carter-Poulsen G Model guitar (lefty) and it's a beauty. I had Willie from CP install the LR Baggs Anthem pickup system in it (full system) and took the opportunity to plug it in and play straight through a QSC K-12 monitor, no EQ or compression, just straight from the board to the K-12. I was immediately struck by how true it was to what I was hearing from the guitar unamplified.
So, I did a little test. I mic'd the guitar about 12 inches off the neck joint with a pair of Peluso CMC-6 mics, in an X-Y pattern, through a pair of Golden Age MK73 II preamps, into my StudioLive Firewire desk. No EQ, no compression, no anything, just straight to disk, panned hard right and hard left.
At the same time, I ran a third channel with the Anthem output, again, no compression, no EQ. The Anthem was set to the full mic blend.
Here are the results, on Youtube ... link is HD. I think it's quite accurate to the actual sound of the guitar. You can hear a little more stereo spread on the mics, and a little hiss and room ambience. On the Anthem audio, I can hear the UST on the low notes and the brilliant highs are a bit more pronounced, and it's mono, but overall, it's very good for running direct with no tweaking. Great little system there.
Here are the videos:
Mics alone:
Anthem alone:
I've often been confounded trying to judge pickups from Youtube demos, because lots of time people play through an acoustic amp, or mic themselves playing through an acoustic amp and the guitar at the same time, and so forth. But this is something of an apples to apples test with no tweaking done. Hope it's illuminating. I will definitely recommend the Anthem to my customers and look into carrying it in the shop.

2 CDs by JL AdamsPosted by Christian Carey in CD Review, Mode, Piano, tags: Callithumpian Consort, john luther adams, Stephen Drury

Callithumpian Consort; Stephen Drury, director and pianist

Alaskan (by way of New York) composer John Luther Adams was long known as the "other Adams" of contemporary concert music, overshadowed by Californian (by way of Massachusetts) John Coolidge Adams, composer of the operas Nixon in China and Dr. Atomic and the Pulitzer prizewinning On the Transmigration of Souls. The balance of recognition seems to be shifting, as the Alaskan Adams has created several large scale works that have raised his public profile, such as the spatial percussion piece Inuksuit and museum installation (with an accompanying book) The Place Where You Go to Listen. Adams frequently speaks of "creating ecologies of music." Both of the aforementioned pieces are based on aspects of Alaska: the former the traditional music of its native inhabitants and the latter shifts in the region's weather patterns and tectonics (with an implicit demonstration of the impact of climate change on its environs).
Boston's Stephen Drury and the Callithumpian Consort, whom he directs, are staunch advocates of JL Adams. Two recent recordings present different aspects of his music-making, as well as still more contrasting facets of his adopted state. The tintinnabulation of percussionist Scott Deal's vibraphone and chimes, Drury's piano (which plays major and minor chords throughout), and a haloing electronic aura courtesy of the composer mimic the shifts in light and many crags found in a wilderness' varied terrain. Within the half hour duration, Adams never allows this limited palette to grow stale; he continually refreshes the sound world with shifts of tonality and varied interactions between percussion and piano. Its companion piece …And Bells Remembered… takes the tintinnabulation still further. Alongside Drury, five percussionists use both mallets and bows to craft a slowly evolving tolling of bell sounds both high and low. Is it meant as a memento mori or as a secularized ritual or meditation? We aren't told in the booklet's aphoristic notes, but we are left with an incandescent sonic shimmering that again indicates a sweeping vista to the mind's eye.
Many composers have incorporated birdsong into their music. Perhaps the most famous of these is the French composer Olivier Messiaen (1908-92), who was an amateur ornithologist and travelled the world to collect birdsongs; they appear in most of his compositions. Even Messiaen's transcriptions of these arias of the animal world are somewhat limited by Western ideas of notation: they occur at a precise moment in the piece that is studiously indicated as a conventional (if complicated) rhythm. Adams has taken the incorporation of birdsong materials further in conception. Rather than prescribing when they are to occur, he gives the musicians phrases (transcribed in the field) as well as detailed indications of the habits and movement patterns of the various species which sing them. Thus, the musicians are tasked with accommodating their playing to approximate the birds' preferences and the space in which they reside; not the other way around. Thus, creating an ecology of music involves much more than what's printed on the page: it requires empathy, study, and imagination. While Messiaen is to be commended for paving the way towards this aim, songbirdsongs dispenses, insofar as is possible, with human expectations of formal trajectory and "pretty Polly" mimicry, instead replacing it with something wild, unfettered, and, in the performance captured hear, often enthralling.

The Deal: Early Airline Trial Might Work Against Strapped DOJ
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- The demands of the legal system favor a quick path to trial for the Department of Justice's attempt to block the proposed merger of US Airways Group
Lawyers for the air carriers have requested to begin the trial on Nov. 12, three months earlier than the Feb. 10 start the DOJ is said to prefer. The lawyers said they expect the trial to require 10 court days. If the earlier date is picked, antitrust experts said it will be difficult for the Justice Department to prepare adequately.
Which is exactly what the airlines want, antitrust experts say, as the airlines use their huge legal team to try to outgun the constrained staff numbers of the DOJ.
But there are other reasons why Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington might have little choice but to pick a date on the earlier side.
The DOJ's lawsuit has halted a U.S. bankruptcy court's efforts to rule on the reorganization plan for American's parent, AMR Corp.
Kollar-Kotelly's calendar also favors a trial date sooner rather than later. She has warned the parties that a criminal trial is set to begin Jan. 14 and last eight weeks. If she schedules the merger trial to begin after the New Year it's unlikely that she would feel comfortable with a date any earlier than March 11, eight weeks after the criminal trial's start. A 2014 start would make it difficult to hold the bankruptcy reorganization plan together, however.
"The parties' urgency to complete their transaction is far greater here than in ordinary merger cases," the air carriers' lawyers wrote in their brief filed with Kollar-Kotelly Thursday. "American's ongoing bankruptcy proceedings compound the costs and uncertainties associated with the delays caused by the government's lawsuit, including approximately $500,000 in bankruptcy-related professional fees alone every day that the bankruptcy continues. Both Airlines face additional burdens until this uncertainty is resolved, including uncertainties in winning customers and retaining people when no one knows for sure what the future holds."

Athletic, peaceful, he won her heart
By WILLIAM R. LEVESQUE
Published April 1, 2005
To understand Michael Schiavo, his family says, you need to understand his father.
William Schiavo contracted polio at age 12 and was told he might never walk again. But this was a man who never backed down, relatives say, a man who never let someone tell him an obstacle couldn't be overcome.
Six years later, William Schiavo won a professional contract to play minor league baseball for a Philadelphia team.
"He wasn't going to accept that he wouldn't walk," said Scott Schiavo, the oldest of William Schiavo's five sons. "He was like, "You put your mind to something, and you do it. Get it done.' "
Karen Schiavo said it isn't surprising to anyone in the family that Michael Schiavo, her brother-in-law and the youngest of the Schiavo boys, takes after his father.
"All five of them are alike," she said. "If they believe in something, they go 100 percent."
Michael Schiavo, now 41, grew up the son of a stay-at-home mother and a father who, after his baseball dream ended, worked as an associate safety engineer for a utility company. All the boys were big, strapping sons who played hard.
It was a close-knit clan, one in which the sons' wives would be sent birthday cards from Schiavo's late mother. "The cards would be for a daughter-in-law, but she would cross out "in law,' " Karen Schiavo said.
All the sons were athletic. Michael Schiavo played on the tennis team at Woodrow Wilson High School in Levittown, Pa., just outside Philadelphia.
But "sports wasn't his forte," Scott Schiavo said. "He wasn't a very aggressive person. He was more like, "Let's talk about it,' than running into each other."
Karen Schiavo said Michael was "a little bit different than the other guys. Calm, peaceful."
Schiavo met his future wife in a class at Bucks County Community College. The pair were engaged a year before marrying in 1984. They moved to Florida two years later. "We were over the cold," Schiavo later said. "We wanted something new."
After his wife's collapse on Feb. 25, 1990, Schiavo spent days and nights in the intensive care unit by her side.
Later, he helped raise money for her care, even selling hot dogs on the beach to raise funds.
At a medical malpractice trial in 1992, Michael Schiavo, fighting tears, told jurors he wanted to care for his wife as long as he could.
"I believe in the vows that I took with my wife, through sickness, in health, for richer or poorer," Schiavo testified. "I married my wife because I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I'm going to do that."
Those words would be used against him in later years, especially when he petitioned the courts to remove his wife's feeding tube.
Schiavo, a registered nurse who works at the Pinellas County Jail, now lives with another woman and has two children with her. Protesters often gather outside their Clearwater home.
In a March 15 interview with the St. Petersburg Times, Schiavo said the Christian right has used his wife to push a political agenda.
"It's all those people who are afraid to die," Schiavo said.
He said he has never forsaken his wife, no matter what her family and protesters think.
"Terri will always have a part of my heart," Michael Schiavo said. "She'll always be in there."

Faith and feminism: Excerpt from 'Talking Taboo' examines sexual temptation
(RNS) Excerpt from "Talking Taboo": Then it happened. I didn't mean it to. But at some point I started getting flutters at the "dink" of my iPhone. A text or phone message from him could easily redeem the halfheartedness of an otherwise mediocre day. At some point I started crushing on him.

98% of the world's transport sector depends on oil products.
With their range (over 600 km) resulting from their energy density, and drawing on mature, inexpensive refining techniques, fossil fuels still have considerable advantages.
However, their pre-eminence is constantly threatened by two major weaknesses. The thermal engine delivers only moderate efficiency: 36% for the petrol engine, and 42% for the diesel engine.

Watch Digital Town Hall at 11:15 AM | Interactive Travel Map | Text the SecretaryAbout the Author: Suzanne Hall serves as Public Diplomacy Advisor in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. She is currently in Santo Domingo.
Secretary Clinton arrived here in Santo Domingo last night on her first visit to the Dominican Republic as Secretary of State. The Dominican people have received the Secretary with such warmth, and the local media has been buzzing with her visit since it was first announced on Monday.
We are here on site at FUNGLODE in the heart of Santo Domingo waiting on the Secretary's arrival to begin a digital town hall. FUNGLODE, the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, provides a think tank-like space to analyze and formulate innovative responses to political, social and developmental issues confronting the Dominican Republic today. Given FUNGLODE's mission, it's the perfect space to roll out Secretary Clinton's major public outreach event during her visit.
Secretary Clinton's engagement here will be a unique one. The Secretary will address a group of about 150 Dominican citizens from all walks of life: students, teachers, business people, representatives of non-governmental organizations, media and a few Dominican officials, including First Lady Margarita Cedeño de Fernández. Secretary Clinton will speak about what the United States hopes to achieve at the Fifth Summit of the Americas, which starts later this evening in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Her opening remarks will touch on the main Summit themes, including human prosperity, energy security, climate change and sustainable development.
Here comes the 2.0 aspect of the event: following her remarks, Secretary Clinton will take questions from the Dominican audience, as well as from a virtual audience composed of people from throughout the hemisphere tuned into the event via a live video streamed on townhall.america.gov. Many of these people—whether from Brazil, Canada, Guatemala or Colombia—submitted questions online in advance in Spanish, Portuguese, English and French. The Summit of the Americas impacts all citizens of the hemisphere, and the Secretary felt it was crucial to open up this event to as many people of the region as possible. The online hub serves as the perfect multiplier to get out the Secretary's remarks and allow her to interact with a massive audience that reaches far beyond the walls of this auditorium.
Following her digital town hall, the Secretary will go straight to the airport, where she will depart for Port of Spain and join President Obama for the launch of the Fifth Summit of the Americas later this evening. She'll carry with her the concerns and issues raised by the participants of the digital town hall here in Santo Domingo. Since the Summit is intended as a framework to bring direct and positive impact to the peoples of the hemisphere, the comments from the live and digital audiences here at FUNGLODE will impact how Secretary Clinton and the rest of the U.S. delegation engage with their counterparts on site at the Summit of the Americas.
This is new media and web 2.0 tools at work, shaping diplomacy in real time.

Chivalry at 97,000 feetThursday, September 6th, 2012
As preparation for the Red Bull Stratos record-breaking parachute jump from a balloon at 120,000 feet in early October, Felix Baumgartner jumped in early August from 97, 145 feet. Why not just go on up to Joe Kittinger's record of 102,800 feet set on August 16, 1960? Baumgartner wanted to make sure he broke the record on the last flight. If he had gone above 102,800 feet, then the final flight would have broken Baumgartner's record, not Kittinger's. He didn't want to push Kittinger, the mission controller of the Red Bull Stratos project, out of the picture so early. By the way, that Aug. 9 test flight was to have been to 90,000 feet, not 97,000. Does that mean the final flight will be actually above 120,000 feet? You can bet the rent money on it. Baumgartner finally took Kittinger's advice on the type of gloves to use after his hands became numb on an earlier practice flight, and had no problems. You can also bet the young pup will listen to the wisdom of 84-year-old Kittinger for the October flight. Orlando officials have rennovated Col. Joe Kittinger Park near Orlando Executive Airport. Kittinger was born in Tampa.
The flight was delayed to October because the capsule fell on its side in rocky terrain after the Aug. 9 flight, damaging its exterior and systems. The inner pressure vessel survived, but rebuilding seemed like a good idea. (Red Bull photo)

Now that D-WIll has also bitched out there will not be a single member from the Olympic squad on the WC squad.
Good to see that these guys proved they could win the gold and then stopped caring. If LBJ, Wade, Melo and Bosh had gone I guarantee everyone else would have as well.
Welp, the roster should still be damned entertaining to watch and FUDU can actually watch KD play for once to see that he is in fact a physical freak.
(I'll excuse Kobe, since I am pretty sure his myriad of injuries is a legit excuse)

@Matthew: Thanks! I think there's still room for some improvement (isn't there always?) but flavourwise it's finally getting close to where I want it.@Bob1: I'm always kind of embarrassed when someone asks me that question because I can't honestly say (having no IR thermometer or similar gizmo.) I know the oven itself is maxed out at 500ishF prior to the usual broiler shenanigans. Wish I could be more specific. Sorry.Cheers,
Bravo! The best results I've ever seen out of a conventional oven!Matt
Toby,Would it be possible to attach some weights to the percents? Also, is the levain as a percent of total formula flour, total formula water, or total dough weight? And is the storage starter (which I assume starts out cold) 16% of the levain flour?Thanks.Peter

German luthier Jens Ritter has long been known for his high-class instruments, but he's now topped his previous form. He's built a gold and diamond-encrusted bass.
The bass, called the Flora Aurum, is to go on sale for $250,000 in Las Vegas. The retailer is Wynn And Co - not a guitar shop, but a jewellery dealer.
"More and more people do not just want a tool for their job or hobby, they want a piece of culture," reckons Ritter. Whether this slab of bass bling is 'cultural' remains open to debate.
Ritter actually began as a musician who couldn't afford his own instruments, so he'd buy broken guitars and fix them. Then he wondered whether he could take a piece of wood and make it into a guitar. "When I got finished, I had no idea if they were good," he said. Indeed, his first 'sale' was bartering one of his instruments for some chimney repairs.
Ritter now makes about 60 handcrafted instruments each year, with users including Doug Wimbish, Madonna's band, and The Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh... as well as chimney repairers.
Gold, diamonds, mammoth ivory?
The spec of the bass is, needless to say, quite spectacular. For the not inconsiderable asking price you get:
- Floral pattern fingerboard Inlay made of 24 carat gold
- Every single inlay-leaf is decorated with a black diamond (set in platinum)
- The bridge, the tuner buttons and the knobs are handcast in gold
- Two flawless brillant-cut diamonds (3,3ct) are placed on top of the two knobs
- Tiny green brillant-cut diamonds serve as knob position markers
- The handshaped body is one-piece highest-figured quilted maple
- The nut is made of at least 10,000 year-old mammoth ivory
Is the Flora Aurum desirable? Or simply vulgar? Either way, you'll have to win on the Las Vegas tables to afford it.

Less than a month into the New Year and the e-retailer and marketplace announces plans for three additional U.S. fulfillment centers.
Two sci-fi apps hit the streets this week
The future is now for two mobile sellers.
I'm a science fiction nut. Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who: You name it, I probably like it. As such, I grew up dreaming of a future that included all sorts of really cool technology. One technology I looked forward to was video calls on mobile devices. And when Apple Inc. came out with FaceTime, I was in heaven.
This week, two companies debuted apps that create two-way video links between consumers and agents that are really cool. And as you'll find out in my August Internet Retailer magazine story on smartphone apps, cool counts.
Valspar Paint worked with marketing services firm CatapultRPM to bring interior designers into consumers' homes via iPhones and iPads. A consumer sets up an appointment with a Valspar color consultant and at the appointed time the consultant initiates a video link with the consumer. The consumer then uses her iPhone 4S or iPad to scan around a room to give the consultant an idea of what things look like. The consultant displays colors she feels work best. At the end of the free 30-minute session, the consumer can order paint straight from the consultant.
On another front, StubNut.com worked with mobile technology provider Radish Systems to build into its app an audio/visual customer service feature that enables a two-way connection where ticket agents can show buyers views from selected seats, venue maps and more. It's not live video, but it is live audio plus visuals. And most important, it's cool. And I guess I should add that it's highly practical and likely can help drive conversion and upsells.
Live video customer service is something a lot of retailers should be thinking about. It can greatly help a mobile app stand out in the crowd, and it can aid in increasing sales. Cool is the rule in mobile apps. So give live video or audio/visual a thought. Video calls will become mainstream sooner rather than later, and I believe people will come to expect live video customer service one day. Do it now and be a mobile commerce leader.

New regs cause truckers travails
MARSHALL – There is a saying in the trucking industry that if you eat it or wear it, it was brought to you in a truck.
Truckers drive long distances and work long hours to bring goods and raw materials to where they are bought or used. To ensure safety on the roads, the U.S. Department of Transportation regulates the number of hours a driver can work and drive within a certain period to prevent driver fatigue.
On July 1, new hours of service regulations went into effect that has some truckers worried about their bottom line.
Truck drivers are allowed to be on-duty for 14 hours, only 11 driving, before they are required to go off-duty for a minimum of 10 hours. After either 60 or 70 hours over a seven- or eight-day period, depending on the driver's choice of plans, the driver must take a 34-hour break to restart his/hers allowed driving hours.
"The new rules do two things," said John Hausladen, president of the Minnesota Trucking Association. "One, it requires a driver to take a 30-minute break after eight hours driving. The bigger deal is the 34-hour restart must now include two periods from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m."
According to Hausladen, the effect of this is that depending on when a driver gets home, or if he/she gets home at all, the restart time could extend to 48 hours or more, cutting drivers' hours and income.
Doug Gorecki is an owner-operator who hauls freight for Doug Bradley Trucking, Inc.
"It's too early to tell, but I think maybe if a man was running 6,000 miles every two weeks, he'd be down to 5,600 miles and a little short of pay," Gorecki said.
Curt Vogt, terminal manager for Doug Bradley Trucking's Marshall office, pointed out the 30-minute break requirement could work hardships on warehouse and freight facilities.
"The biggest thing is if you have multiple stops, it's going to affect where you can park in the bigger cities," Vogt said. "We make multiple deliveries in Chicago, and it's going to be hard to take a half-hour break without plugging up someone's dock or yard."
The new rules are currently being appealed by the American Trucking Association, but the case had not settled by the time the rules went into effect. The stated reasons for the rules are drivers' health and safety, but some in the trucking industry are unconvinced.
"I've looked at some of the studies, and I don't know how it'll change anything," said Charisse Meyer, safety director for Eickhoff Enterprises, Inc. "Studies show truck accidents are down already."
According to Meyer, truckers worry the new requirements will affect delivery of time-sensitive loads carried by refrigerator trucks and put more drivers on the road during rush hour.
"Quite a few of our drivers prefer to drive at night because there is less traffic," Meyer said. "That half-hour requirement is not so bad; our drivers have been using it for three or four months in preparation. The restart is easy to handle for guys who are home every weekend. It's the guys who say out three to four weeks at a time who'll have problems."
Meyer said more than half of Eickhoff's 30 drivers are on the road 10 days or more at a time, which will result in more difficulties for dispatchers to organize and plan drivers' routes.
According to industry spokespersons, fewer hours will mean fewer people wanting to go into trucking, when there's already a shortage of drivers, and increased transportation costs adding to the cost of everything.
"I think the biggest issue as an industry is a lot of little things that add up to considerable cost with no appreciable effect on safety," Hausladen said.


text: Energy provider affects load profiles of their customers during a specific time period by using a reliability notification mechanism. Reliability refers to the fact that the energy provider needs to change their load profile to protect the integrity of the electricity supply. This mechanism is different than so called Real Time Pricing in that the energy provider is actively trying to influence consumption based upon a pre-arranged agreement and probably involves specific objectives on how much load to shed overall during the desired period.

About the Author: Ambassador-at-Large Luis CdeBaca directs the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.
This week, the international community celebrated World Water Day, an opportunity to discuss ways to make water sustainable for generations to come.
Often we are reminded of the importance of water when there's too much or too little -- when a water main breaks or a field cracks due to drought or when rivers overflow their banks. The impact of water and drought doesn't just affect crops, fields, local economies, and water resources; it also affects the security of men, women, and children throughout the world.
The Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons tracks how populations are more vulnerable to incidences of human trafficking in water-challenged communities. News reports this year have indicated that there are several incidences of women being sold by their husbands to pay off debts as well as young girls being sold into sexual slavery or forced labor by their impoverished families in water-stressed areas.
Trends from the United Nations and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) signal that as the water supply decreases, so does political, economic, and human security, thereby leading to higher incidences of human trafficking. Women and girls are at a higher risk of suffering from these exploitative crimes, such as debt bondage, sexual slavery, or forced labor than others in the communities due to cultural traditions.
Working with our partners throughout the world, we can bridge the divide between water and human security. Strengthening the world's water supply and ability to manage it during times of instability and uncertainty will help ebb the increased likelihood of trafficking in persons.
Let us hear from you on how the world can work together to keep men, women, and children in water-stressed areas across the globe safer.

We've been in southern Calif for more than 20 years and have seen how this "Mediterranean climate" has gotten drier. It has taken a long time for the people to realize that there is a water issue that needs tobe addressed.
Masood in California writes:
Intensification in partnership through Strategic Dialogue will help two countries but people to people interaction will make it happen.
As far as mutual trust there is no lack of it considering the leadership of Pakistan in agreement to the U.S. policies. They may question once in a while to affirm their stand to the reassurance of public opinion otherwise, Pakistani leadership is quite comfortable and their exuberance is obvious in engagement with U.S. counterparts.
However, perception of an average Pakistani is lacking the trust on the United States and own government. Secretary Clinton, initiative on public diplomacy in her trips to Pakistan and the emphasis on people-to-people interaction as a part of strategic discussion will be helpful.
