Yankees at Red Sox series
In the first game of a July 7 double header, Red Sox starting pitcher Franklin Morales wiped his brow after giving up the second homer in the first inning, this one to Yankees Andrew Jones, putting the Yankees ahead 4-0. The Red Sox lost the series opener on July 6, 10-8. They lost Game 2 6-1. Next
New York Yankees starting pitcher Freddy Garcia gave up 5 runs in less than two innings the last time he faced the Red Sox. But in Game 2 of this four-game series he held Boston at bay, giving up just one run through seven innings. Next
Dustin Pedroia, out of the lineup for several weeks with an injured thumb, gestured with his bandaged hand as he chated with Cody Ross, right, during Game 1 of the day-night double header. Next
David Ortiz reacted after scoring a run against the New York Yankees during the fourth inning of the second of a four game series against the Yankees. Next
Kelly Shoppach, catching the first game of the double header, reacted after striking out in the fifth inning. Next
New York Yankees' Nick Swisher rounded the bases on his three-run home run as Boston Red Sox shortstop Mike Aviles, left, and starting pitcher Franklin Morales, right, watched in the first inning of Game 2 of the series. Until today, Morales had not allowed a homerun in his three starts. Next
Daniel Nava struck out in the third inning. He is hitting .285 on the season. Next
The one thing Franklin Morales had going for him in Game 2 of the series with the Yankees was his pick off move. Here Mike Aviles put the tag on Yankees Alex Rodriguez in the third inning after he was caught in a rundown between first and second base. Next
Yankees Derek Jeter congratgulated Nick Swisher at home plate after Swisher's three-run homer. Jeter had five hits in the series through two games. Next
Yankees Robinson Cano fell away from the plate after getting hit in the hand by a first inning pitch by Sox starting pitcher Franklin Morales. Next
Nick Punto and the Red Sox dropped the first game of a four-game series against the Yankees on Friday night. The Yankees rallied in the late innings to take the lead and go on to a 10-8 victory at Fenway Park. Next
Jarrod Saltalamacchia belted a three-run home run in the first inning of the opening game of this weekend's Red Sox-Yankees series at Fenway Park. Saltalamacchia's home run helped the Red Sox recover from a rough first inning in which the Yankees took a 5-0 lead. Next
Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia had another key play when he tagged Alex Rodriguez out at the plate when Rodriguez tried to score on Nick Swisher's infield grounder in the fifth inning. Red Sox second baseman Nick Punto fired to the plate to catch Rodriguez. Next
Adrian Gonzalez connected for an RBI double in the first inning. Next
Yankees Curtis Granderson (left) and Alex Rodriguez celebrated after scoring in the first inning. They both came home on a single by Mark Teixeira. Next

Artist's Concept of MAVENThis is an artist's conception of NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution MissioN (MAVEN) Mars orbiter.
Mission Information
The goal of the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) program is to determine the role that loss of atmospheric gas to space played in changing the Martian climate through time. MAVEN will determine how much of the Martian atmosphere has been lost over time by measuring the current rate of escape to space and gathering enough information about the relevant processes to allow extrapolation backward in time.
MAVEN's principal investigator is based at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. The university will provide science operations, build instruments, and lead Education/Public Outreach. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, will manage the MAVEN mission and provide instruments. Lockheed Martin of Littleton, Colo., will build the spacecraft and perform mission operations. The University of California-Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory will build instruments for the mission. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., will provide Program management via the Mars Program Office, as well as navigation support, the Deep Space Network, and the Electra telecommunications relay hardware and operations.

Developing skill is one of the main objectives in hockey, and it should be the second most important factor for minor hockey associations. Ensuring the kids are having fun should be the first objective of every minor hockey parent, coach and association.
Before we get to the Oilers signing of Linus Omark, let's look at how Edmonton is hoping to develop even more skilled players.
The Edmonton Minor Hockey Association will announce that all pre-novice and novice practices will now be done on half-ice. Also atom teams will have 11 practices on 1/2 ice, while peewee teams will have 7 practices on the smaller rink.
This is an outstanding decision.
I know that cost and lack of ice was a main reason the EMHL decided to go this route, but the kids will actually be the biggest benefactors. Some teams have been using half-ice practices for a few years, but it wasn't mandated across the city until now.
The benefits to half-ice practices are immense.
In confined spaces the kids will be turning more frequently, handling the puck more often and they still have ample room to skate.
I would argue that kids in pre-novice and novice would improve their skills even more if they played games on half ice. Many other sports change the dimensions of their playing fields to accommodate the age of the players. Should six, seven and eight year olds really be using the same size rink as NHL players?
One of the new phrases in hockeyby coaches is they want players who can make plays in confined spaces. If kids are playing games in smaller rinks, they will have more opportunities to enhance those skills. It should make the game more fun, because the kids will become more adept at giving and receiving passes, thus having the puck on their sticks more often. Having the puck is fun. Constantly chasing the puck down the ice after another errant pass isn't as much fun.
Here are a few easy drills coaches can use, up for any age, on half ice.
I did a quick Google search and found these here. There are numerous other drills coaches can use to keep their kids attentive and entertained while still developing their skills.
Over the years I've listened to many parents complain when their kids had to have a half-ice practice. They felt they wouldn't learn the game. I don't agree, but at the Hockey Alberta Summit former Calgary Flame player, Jim Peplinski, shared a story on the topic that summed it up nicely.
Peplinski told me that Bob Johnson used to run half-ice practices for the Flames. "He'd put us through the paces for 45 minutes, and we'd be bagged. Way more stops and starts, turns and battles in small spaces. It was a great change of pace from regular practice, but it allowed guys to keep improving their skills and it also was a great way to maintain cardio," said Peplinski.
I'd suggest if NHL players can benefit from half-ice practices, then minor hockey kids will as well, as long as the coach running the practice knows how to effectively introduce drills.
To me that is the key. I hope EMHL and on a bigger scale Hockey Alberta email every coach some practice plans. I know they are available on websites, but take the initiative and give volunteer coaches even more resources to make their practices enjoyable and beneficial.
The best advice Peplinski said during the Hockey Alberta Summit was, "Don't mix amateur and pro hockey." He gave a pretty interesting example. "You don't need to be at the game 90 minutes early in atom and peewee to prepare. In the NHL we were playing ping pong before the game, we weren't sitting in our stalls for 90 minutes mentally preparing," said Peplinski.
I chuckle when I hear stories of coaches telling parents their kids need to be at the rink an hour or more before a game. Do the coaches give the kids instructions on how to "mentally" prepare?
Some one by the handle sweet69ification is clearly an Omark fan. He made a video showcasing Omark's best goals. There is no debate that Omark has world class puck skills. He also isn't lacking in confidence or creativity.
The Edmonton Oilers have no shortage of offensive skill amongst their young forwards, and added to that today when they re-signed Omark to a two-way contract.
This was a smart decision by Omark. He still needs to prove to the NHL that he can play here, and the best way to do that is by playing in the NHL, even if it is only preseason games.
The issue isn't that Omark has skill; it is whether the Oilers have room for another small, skilled forward. I just don't see this team winning if they dress Omark, Hall, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins, Perron, Gagner, Hemsky and Yakupov every night. You can't win with all similar players in your top-nine.
I do understand, however, why both parties would sign this contract.
The Oilers might have to move Taylor Hall to centre for a few games until Ryan Nugent-Hopkins returns, and Omark's skills fit those of a top-six forward. He hasn't proven he is a regular top-six NHL forward, but he does possess the high-end offensive abilities necessary to fill that role.
Maybe he slots in on the left side while Hall moves to the middle. If he plays well, other teams might take notice and that could, possibly, enhance his trade value. If he doesn't he likely will be sent to OKC, spend the season there, and then next summer he'll become a UFA.
I'd be very surprised if the Oilers had all eight of the aforementioned forwards, when they are healthy, in Edmonton for an extended period of time this year.
Omark is very creative, but like many young players he still struggles with consistency and if he plans to make an impact on Dallas Eakins' team he'll need to be reliable in both ends of the rink.
The addition of Omark will increase the competition at training camp, so that is a plus for the Oilers. Signing an NHL contract gets Omark much closer to the NHL than playing in the Swiss Elite League, so that is a plus for Omark.
I see this as a "more of the same" addition for the Oilers, and while it is good to have skill, you can't win on skill alone.
For me the best case scenario is that Omark fills a void until RNH is healthy, and in doing so improves his trade value so the Oilers can potentially move him for another asset.
That would be a win-win for both Omark and the Oilers, or it could be just another signing that doesn't impact the organization. Time will tell.
We are 56% sold out in less than four days. If you are thinking about entering, I'd suggest getting in fast.
Two years ago I came up with an idea to raise money for charity, while including a great night out. We hatched the idea Spec's Deck, where my good buddy from Sportsnet, Mark Spector, would host a party on his deck.
The past two years have been great, so we are doing it again...This year it will be at a secret location, but all the details are the same.
The contest works like this. You donate $100 to help end MS and you get in the draw. We will have FIVE winners and we cap it at 100 entries. You can enter as many times as you wish. $100 gets you one entry; $200 gets you two and so one. Last year we sold out in less than three weeks, so if you want to win, get on it.
The party will be on Friday, September 20th....
Here is what you get:
The winner gets to bring three friends.
Prestige Limos will pick you up, (Each group of four has one pick up spot) and take you to Spec's deck in style.
Vons Steak House and Oyster Bar will be catering the event. BBQ steak, chicken, potatoes, veggies, etc...And Oysters.
Big Rock will supply beer all night long and in the Limo.
Yellow Cab will ensure everyone gets home safe and sound. They, like me, don't want anyone drinking and driving.
The party will start around 6 p.m. and last for as long as we like. Joining Spec and I will be Brownlee, Strudwick, Ryan Rishaug, Meg Storms and maybe even Wanye. I've also secured a few SPECIAL GUESTS. A few current and former pro athletes will take part in the festivities.
The past two years have been very fun. Last year we had Brett Kissel perform live on Spec's Deck, and it launched his career (maybe his singing ability had more to do with it, but we are certain Spec's Deck really gave him the confidence to go to Nashville), and today he has the #1 song in country music in Canada.
We will have some great live entertainment on the 20th as well.
A huge thank you to all the sponsors and to those who enter and support MS. Good luck.

Developing more skill should be fist on every teams list.
Edit: missed it by that much.

Saw ya coming Spydyr... keep your stick down and your head up! ;)
I was very surprised at the Omark signing. Now that I've had a moment to think about it, I think this is a positive.
Omark is obviously highly motivated to play in the NHL. He'll do whatever he has to do to show that he can play.
So with that in mind, the worst case scenario is Omark playing good hockey in the AHL, replacing the talent that they lost in Rajala. Get the Barons deep into the playoffs, giving young guys like Marincin and Kelfbom good experience in pressure games.
If Omark walks next summer, we'd have the entire free agent period to shop for AHL forward depth.
I love the signing and expect Omark to play. Small or not talent, is most important. JF Jacques was big and played in the top 9 at one point. Look how that turned out....
Would like to maybe see Omark-Gagner-Yakupov put together and play the soft parade leaving toughs to Hall-RNH-Eberle and Perron-Boyd-Hemsky
I heartily agree Gregor. A good practice can be delivered on half ice. The coaches who feel they need full ice, full time are not dealing with the reality of available ice. Some teams struggle to get ice at reasonable times, so let's develop more kids within the restraints of the available ice. Maybe a team that gets half ice more often as opposed to a team that gets full ice less often has some benefits. On another note if Omark can add something to the team or create a trade asset, why not? Its more than we had yesterday.
August 27 2013, 05:59PM
This was a great read, Gregor. Thanks.
Those goals are positively "Omarkian"...
Mr. Gregor,
Do you think it's possible that Rajala's agent got word that a deal with Omark was imminent and that caused him to ask to void his contract?
August 27 2013, 09:26PM
Whatever happened to the good ol' horse-shoe and 2 on 1's?
Kids getting tactical now!
August 28 2013, 08:38AM
Great article.
I think with Jonesuu and Lander, it'd be interesting to see if Linus can round out his game. I'd also support this kind of lineup:
1st line Perron-Nuge-Ebs 2nd line Hall-Gags-Yak Checking Smyth-Gordo-Jonesuu 4th line Omark-Lander-Hemmer
I know that'd be a demotion for Hemmer to the '4th line' but that's a 4th line that could score with the best of them. Then there'd be a true defensive checking line and a solid top 6.
Still the lineup lacks size but they have more than enough talent to skate with about any team. Eakins needs to feed them a bowl of blood before every game. Little guys like Marchand and Shaw initiate contact. It's fine to be small, but the boys need to play bigger, especially in the middle 6.
At the very least, Omark gives a few more options all through the lineup. Great signing at a decent price.
Watch the Omark goal video, guaranteed to put a smile on your dial. When he drops the puck lacrosse style down the goalies back is the best trick goal I have ever seen.
August 27 2013, 02:51PM
JG one thing you missed on the 1/2 ice sharing is that the coaches can agree to split the ice lengthwise or even diagonally from one corner to the other for all or some of a practice. This can give them the benefit a full zone inside the blue line and the length to spread out and get some skating in.
There are a number of terrific drills for kids using the ice this way as well. Good coaches who plan their practices with creativity and good pace will not be hindered by this change to ice usage.
That was a good one, but the one I enjoyed the most was the least flashy of them all - the slapshot. When you're known for your puck wizardry, sometimes you just have to blast one, top-cheese, to keep the goalies thinking!

That also blew me away. A guy like Omark you can only hope for the best for him, if not with us, some other city so he can keep on entertaining the NHL. Make the team damit!
I use to skate at Perry Perns 3 vs 3 summer camp. All game type situations were played 3 on 3, blue in. Start on offence, the defenders have to skate the puck out with control, and they can change. Once that happens, the offence team becomes the defenders, and they can't change until they skate the puck out, repeat. It was incredibly tough, tiring, and the WHL use to send guys to this camp to work on skill. I played with jay bouwmeester there and it didn't seem to hurt him or any of the other guys there. GREAT drill/use of the ice.
August 27 2013, 04:45PM
I'd be cautious that full ice, just narrower, allows for as many good drills. Pre-novice kids can get lots of great skating in on half-ice.
Do 6 or 7 year olds really need to skate the length of the ice to get a good skate in?
Other sports make surface fit to size of players, hockey should do this. I believe Novice and pre-novice games should be half ice.
I was thinking more for the Atom and Pee Wees. They get squirrely if they don't get a chance to have some good skating drills during a practice. Kind of like puppies who have been cooped up in the house all day!
Although using the ice properly and implementing fundamental skill drills are very important the most critical aspect is to make sure as many as possible are fun and competitve. Most kids get bored very quickly without some competition in it.
When I was coaching I attended seminars by Roger Neilsen and Perry Pearn. They were big on early arrival to the dressing room. Mostly for practices. The idea would be that the practice should be planned beforehand and gone over in the dressing room. It became funny to watch other practices where the coach would bring in the players and huddle, while the next drill was explained. With one hour of practice time we could see 10 to 20 minutes wasted. That is skating time. Doing stretches that could be done in the dressing room. Another 4 or 5 minutes wasted. Don't get me started on the negative effect of going over practice or game prep, with 14 kids dressed and ready to go, while one or two parents hurriedly tried to dress there kid. In novice and atom, no big deal, and one hour is way too much. (quite often the dressing room would not be clear from the last group, that early) At peewee and older, I don't think the coach is asking too much to have every player dressed and ready 15 minutes before they hit the ice. BTW that was standard practice taught to coaches at the level one and two coaching clinics. Ice time is the one thing we did not have enough of to waste.
"You can't win with all similar players in your top-nine."
Why does anyone believe this is true. Give me lines that outshoot the opposition, and draw more penalties than they take, and they can be 5'6 170lbs, or 6'4 225lbs. It is irrelevant.
Also confused how guys like Omark are "similar" to guys such as Hall or Yakupov, who seem more like power forwards. Also Gagner is listed at 200lbs. Generally guys under 6'0 and over 200lbs would not be considered small players.
@ Jason Gregor - As a coach of my Novice age son, and a volunteer at a once a week skills development camp over the summer, I am peeved with this decision for half ice practices for one main reason - it limits the number of drills/stations you can work on for skill development in a practice. During the regular season, and during our summer program, we have three stations going concurrently to work on different skills - split up from blue line in, between blue lines, then blue line in again. It is even better during the regular season as you have fewer kids so they can spend more time doing the different drills and develop their skills faster. Using the multi-station full ice approach also allows you to work on position specific development drills with d-men and forwards separately.
Now, with just a half ice, we are not going to be able to do do as many skill development stations we were able to do last year. Instead of cycling players through three different skill drills for 10 to 12 minutes each, you are only going to be able to do one, maybe two stations. Unless our Novice team can secure additional ice out of town (competing with everyone else for it), our kids will not develop as fast as they would have in a normal season.
While we have always used the third to half-ice station approach in practices, there are still some systems and great full length of ice drills you need full ice for to do properly with speed. High tempo breakouts and attacking drills come to mind, as well as more complex full ice passing or forward and d-men 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 drills. You can't do everything you need to in just a half ice space.
FWIW, if they want to improve the skill level of players there is a simple solutions - 3 practices per week and only one game on weekends. Practice time is where you develop skills the fastest, not games.

Yeah, it's good, but I have to disagree with you. Omark's goal vs Columbus was his nicest IMHO. First career goal too, if I'm not mistaken. At least as good as Eb's first goal, which made me wake up the wife from cheering too loud.

Its not bad if you pick the shortest height and smallest badyframe. Actually look like a large Human, and it feels more warrior like but I can not wait to play an Asura now.

I'd like to change my answer to Char please.
Three reasons:
1) The Charr are the closest hing to a "evil" race in many people's eyes, mostly because of their role in the early parts of GW1. Yes, that's stupid.
2) Charr females have no boobs. No seriously, that is probably a deciding factor. in fact...
3) The Charr are the "ugly" race. Look at WoW. The most popular races in the game are Blood Elves, Night Elves, and Draenei. Whose females are consistently referred to as the "sexy" or "pretty" ones. Trolls, Dwarves, and to a lesser extent Orcs are considered ugly, and people stay away from them.
On the 1st one you might have a point, but asura seems to be the leader and their females don't have boobs, nor do they look preety, they look like some kind of gremlins with piranah teeth, so number 2 and 3 might not hold that much water.
Asura are the "cute" or "joke" race (see WoW gnomes/goblins). Though less popular than the pretty races (sylvari in this instance), they'll fare better than the ugly (charr) one. EDIT: I see Asura leading...maybe because the Sylvari aren't masculine enough for male players? /shrug. Be curious to see how it all rolls come launch. Maybe the leaf-hair is offputting.
And humans are the vanilla race. Boring but get the job done. Actually a little surprised they aren't more popular.
Norns don't fall into the other categories Though I suspect anyone that wants a big beefy badass type but hates being ugly will go with them.
Asura are TRUE EVIL disguise.
Can you imagine an Asura with Elixir S?
I'm a unique and beautiful snowflake.

Or, you know, you could play the race YOU want based on YOUR preferences?
So many people either follow the crowd or run away from the crowd. Ironically, these two groups tend to detest each other even though they only exist as a result of the exact same tendency: to make decisions based first and foremost on others.
I will be playing each race with a different profession since I want to experience all of the starting areas. Sure I could just come back on my main and play them all which I will still do but I wanna try out different professions as well.
My main might be human or sylvari (more likely sylvari) because of the racial abilities.

Charr for the win and YAY! for Tails!
Finally one game again incorporating "not so human" Char(r)s! Shame on Darkfall and WoW for epic fails on Mahirim and Worgen!
Sorry for flaming a bit, but I really enjoy seeing something except humans, elves and dwarves.
Norn.. hoping they will tweak their animations a bit....
Asura ofc
Sylvari guardian or Charr necro.
Asura necro hiding within his 4 minions. Sounds like fun in pvp.

Charr engineer for me Im thinking. Though a Sylvari Mesmer sounds amazing.
im really shocked at how well the asura are doing.. so many had such strong feelings about them I thought for sure they would be bottom or close to it. Perhaps there are just a lot more like me who love their quirkiness and attitudes.
I'm definitely going to make a Charr. Or two. Or three. It's a cat. With horns. How can you not play that?
I'm also interested in the Asura, but not sure about what they're actually going to look like in-game (especially in armor), and their customization options.
The humans will be played, as always.
Don't know about the rest.
Surprised Asura are running away with the vote. I guess a lot of people lookng forward to being happy gremlins.
If I play a Ranger it will be Sylvari if a Necromancer than Asura.

'Flash Boys' by Michael Lewis: What the Reviews Say
"Flash Boys," the new book by Michael Lewis, hit bookstores Monday after a surge of anticipation as powerful as a stock market rally. In his new release, Lewis, the bestselling author of "The Blind Side," Moneyball" and "Liar's Poker," writes about what the book describes as "a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that, post-financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more controlled by the big Wall Street banks."
Here's what the reviews are saying about "Flash Boys."
–"Because Mr. Lewis is at the helm finding clear, simple metaphors for even the most impenetrable financial minutiae, this tawdry tale should make sense to anyone. And so should its shock value. "Flash Boys" is guaranteed to make blood boil," The New York Times.
–""Flash Boys" is not as larky as "Liar's Poker" (1989), Mr. Lewis's memoir of working at Salomon Brothers during the lead-up to the 1987 crash, or as accessible as "The Big Short" (2010), his jaw-dropping take on the subprime meltdown. It may end up more important to public debate about Wall Street than either, however, in exposing what one of his central characters calls the "Pandora's box of ridiculousness" that financial exchanges have become," The Wall Street Journal.
–"HFT [High-Frequency Trading] is dangerous, I'd like to see less of it, and I hope that Michael Lewis will help to bring it to wider attention. But my tentative verdict on Flash Boys (I'll write something longer once I've finished the book) is that it actually misses the big problem with HFT, in the service of pushing a false narrative that it's bad for the little guy," Reuters.

fullscreen: explorations in new media
dis>play : : new media art and computer games
19 March 2004
The National Gallery of Australia presents part II of its innovative program fullscreen:explorations in new media.
Nearly thirty years ago, teenagers were excited about the introduction of the pong machine and a new TV console game call pac man. How things have changed!
Dr Chris Chesher, Senior Lecturer from the School of Media and Communications at the University of NSW will explore the convergence of new media art and computer games at 2pm on Saturday 24 April 2004 at the National Gallery of Australia.
The frenzy of growth in the industry has taken us into a new world of entertainment. How do we make sense of computer games and new media art? What is our relationship with machines and virtual pets? How do we cope with artificial environments that our bodies and senses perceive to be real? As media technologies change so does the use of media — games design and artistic practices intersect.
'Video games and new media art are among the most active fields of critical thought about contemporary changes in human experience', says Dr Chris Chesher.
Join us as Dr Chris examines the blending of games and art in the work of cutting edge artist Char Davies, who works with immersive, interactive virtual-reality environments. Watch as he explores Myron Kreuger's Artificial Reality and boogies down with Sonys eyeToy.
Dr Chris will also investigate the use of multi-layered spaces in works like Blast Theory's I like Frank project, Honegger and Hunts installation Container. He'll also introduce new ways of forming caring relationships in games like Neopet and artworks like Metapet.
Note: Dr Chris Chesher is available for interview

Mad cute!
"Got these in mint green and I honestly wasn't expecting much but they're really cute and comfortable! I normally wear size 6.5 but got a 7 in case and it's perfect! It doesn't squeeze my toes as most other shoes do and the material is fairly soft. Only problem I would say is in the base of the shoe, makes it very slippery to walk around in?... But otherwise they're nice! Also seems like the material may crease very easily if bent. Mine came in with one side creased so I will be exchanging them."

Revenge Colorado Willow Spinnerbaits
11 Colors
More From Revenge Spinnerbaits
Customer Reviews
Comments: Best slow rolling spinnerbait I have ever used, it will consistently catch bass even in mid 40 water temps, the downfall is after about 20-25 fish the wire arm will break from the abuse, but still worth it because of the realism of the action.
From: Willie: CA 11/23/14
Comments: Since I moved up here to S.J. from down south this lure caught my first spinnerbait fish. (I've since caught many bass on spinners and what a thrill it is!). Good hookups without a trailer hook. I think so far i've only missed 2 hookups. 90% good hooksets. I must be lucky. It's a quality lure.
From: Pat: San Jose, CA
Comments: This is a quality bait that runs right. Had a 5 fish limit over 27 pounds in October on this bait.
From: Doug: Longview, WA
Comments: Revenge Spinnerbaits are the only spinnerbaits i throw now, because i can trust em to catch fish and hold up. These are one of my few real confidence baits in both clear and stained water, and i love the tandem design, puts out a bit of both flash and vibration, the silverside color with both silver blades KILLS EM on overcast days in both clear water and lightly stained water, However like any spinnerbait or jig with a rubber collar on the market if u leave em in the sun or heat to long the collar will melt off and u will have a useless spinnerbait or jig, so right after i take em out of the package i wrap a 2inch piece of small diameter lead wire around the collar TIGHTLY just incase
From: Kevin: SoCal
Comments: The colors, detail, and blade components are awesome. It was catching a lot of fish (and yes, of course, pikes...). The downside is the poor design in wire - breaks after a few big hits. It bends out of position and when you bend it back n forth a few times, it just snaps off on a fish you're thinking is a 6lb'er.
From: Bassin Mississippi River: La Crosse, WI
Comments: Awesome spinnerbait. Good detail in head, good quality swivels and blades. They come out of the wrapper with great balance and blade sizes. Overall great value for the money. I have won many tournaments on this bait. I have tossed almost every spinnerbait made and revenge has its own box with all styles and colors.
From: Derek: Hampton, VA
Comments: Best spinnerbait I have ever used. The skirt and head are sweet, they hold up gr8 too. I would recommend these to any angler out there.

Marian University's Department of Music Presents the 17th Annual Catholic High School Choral Festival on Thursday, November 29
by Bob Golobish | Nov 27, 2012
On Thursday, November 29, the Marian University Department of Music presents, the 17th annual Catholic High School Choral Festival at 7:30 p.m. in the Bishop Chartrand Memorial Chapel on campus. Posted by Bob Golobish
On Thursday, November 29, the Marian University Department of Music presents, the 17th annual Catholic High School Choral Festival at 7:30 p.m. in the Bishop Chartrand Memorial Chapel on campus. The festival will feature eight Indianapolis Catholic High School choirs, including: Bishop Chatard High School, Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, Cardinal Ritter High School, Cathedral High School, Father Thomas Scecina Memorial High School, Oldenburg Academy of the Immaculate Conception, Roncalli High School, and St. Theodore Guerin High School. Marian University's Chamber Singers, Sacred Choir, and Show Choir will also participate. The concert will include Christmas classics like, "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "White Christmas," as well as more contemporary selections including, "Mary Did You Know?" and "What Child Shall Come?" Phil Kern, M.F.A., acting chair of the Department of Music and associate professor of music, started the festival in 1995 as a way to engage the Catholic high school choral community in central Indiana. "We realized there was no event where students could come together in fellowship and song, so a choral festival was an ideal solution. It has grown into a beloved annual event that showcases Marian University to the many students in the surrounding high schools who might be considering Marian University as their choice for higher education," Kern said. The concert will begin with a processional song performed by all of the choirs participating and the audience. This year's piece, "Mary Had a Baby (Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee)," was arranged by Kern and will be published by Hal Leonard Publishing next year with a dedication to the participants in this year's festival. The event is free; however, donations will be accepted for the Holy Family Shelter. Music Education at Marian University "Music Education for the Heart, Mind, and Soul" is the motto of the Department of Music at Marian University. Educating the next generation of choir and band directors is our primary goal. We have been working closely with the School of Education to develop innovative ideas about how much to prepare our future teachers so that they will become music educators who will effectively teach and inspire their students. Our focus is on the real-world skills that music teachers need in the classroom and we provide opportunities for the practical application of these skills. Marian University is the only university in the Indianapolis area that offers both marching band and show choir. As a Catholic university, we also have a third unique area of concentration, liturgical music. We offer a degree in pastoral music ministry where we prepare students to become music ministers at parishes and churches. Our Sacred Choir is the primary ensemble for our pastoral music ministry students to gain necessary practice and experience in liturgical music. Our marching band, show choir, and sacred choir become the daily training ground for our future music educators. By the time they graduate, our students are well prepared for the real world—because they've been living and working in it since they arrived on campus at Marian University. For more information, please contact Beverly Day email@example.com or 317.955.6176.

By WENDY WHITTLE
The Utah State Two-Handed and Individual Shows were held on Sept. 19, 20, and 21, in Farmington, at the Legacy Center.
On Thursday, Jade Jensen, Jesse Jensen, Tawn Jewkes, Kelby Farnsworth, and Cade Whittle competed on their young horses. They had to take a written test, then show in Showmanship, Western Pleasure, Reining, and Trail. Cade placed third on the test, third in Reining, and finished as Reserve All Around with a belt buckle and a pile of rosettes. Tawn placed fifth on the test and fifth in Showmanship, ending up sixth overall. Kelby, Jade, and Jesse all represented Emery County very well as they shoed their young horses.
On Sept. 20, the rest of the team showed up to compete against approximately 100 kids in each age division from all over the state. The judged events this year were: Fitting and Showmanship, Western Horsemanship, and Bareback Equitation.
On Saturday, these same kids and horses competed in speed events: Barrels, Poles, and Scurry. Emery County had several top 10 and top 20 awards. When all the points were totaled, we looked good and the rest of the state knew that we were there.
Meran Allred was 20th overall for the speed events, 13th in the judged events for an overall 9th place All Around finish.
Megan Allred finished 17th All Around with blue ribbons on the test and in events in both judged and speed.
AnnDee Adams made us all proud with a 2nd place test, 6th in Poles, 9th in Bareback, 17th overall in speed events and an 11th place overall.
Amy Jo Allen dazzled us with 10th place Scurry run and received blue ribbons in other events.
Jessee Jewkes placed 6th on the test and 6th in Horsemanship to end up 10th overall in judged events.
Tawn Jewkes placed 8th on the test and had blue ribbons in Poles and Scurry to end up 7th in the speed events.
Cade Whittle was 4th on the test, 7th in Showmanship, and finished 16th in judged events. In Speed events, he finished in 19th place. This combined to give him a 7th place overall win.
McKay Allred, Kelby Farnsworth, and Lacey Branson all had a good show and represented Emery County with pride.
Amy Langston earned blue ribbons in all events. That consistency earned her a 4th place All Around finish against some of the best horses and young horsemen in the state.
Samantha Rudman, Laura Wright, Jesse Jensen, and Jade Jensen all did well and had personal best times and scores.
Between events and the awards program, a jackpot Four-in-a-Row contest was held. The "Jailbreaks" team consisting of Jesse Jensen, Amy Langston, Amy Jo Allen, and one of Amy Langston's friends held a consistent lead until the last three teams. They finished third and came home with money to help cover their expenses.

After last week's clinical display against Italy, the Boks will be brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday's Test against Scotland.
After last weekend's clinical display against Italy, the Springboks will be brimming with confidence ahead of Saturday's Test with Scotland in Nelspruit.
With this game once again forming part of a double-header – Italy and Samoa do battle in the early match – expect a huge crowd at the Mbombela Stadium which will be hosting Test rugby for the first time in its fledgling history.
The quadrangular tournament will be of great significance to South Africa, Scotland and Samoa as these three countries have been drawn into the same pool for the 2015 World Cup in England.
Despite a 15 minute period during the second half of their 44-10 victory over the Azzurri in Durban last weekend, the Boks dominated large parts of that game and will be keen to kick on and extend that dominance to an entire 80 minutes.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer asked for patience when he took over the reins of South Africa's national team in 2012, and despite that request falling on deaf ears in some quarters, he gave his country's supporters an appetiser of what he hopes can be achieved on a regular basis during 2013 with that performance against Italy.
There's an air of optimism sweeping through the country after new players like Willie le Roux and Arno Botha made impressive debuts last weekend.
That duo will look to build on those performances while Trevor Nyakane and Jan Serfontein – who also made their debuts last weekend – will look for longer cameos off the replacements bench.
Despite having other exciting youngsters like Piet van Zyl and Siya Kolisi at his disposal, Meyer has resisted the urge to include them in his starting line-up. One gets the feeling though that they will make a big impact on this encounter towards the latter stages of the second-half when the game becomes a loose affair.
Veterans Bryan Habana, Morne Steyn and Jean de Villiers showed they have plenty of gas left in their tanks last weekend and should once again play a major role in plotting the Scots' downfall.
A combination of injuries and poor form means Scotland have made seven changes to their run-on side. Last weekend's first-ever defeat to Samoa was a blow to boss Scott Johnson who did well to guide the team to third place during the Six Nations.
Veterans like Euan Murray, Jim Hamilton, Scott Lawson and Alasdair Strokosch will have huge roles in guiding their younger and less experienced team-mates in the forward exchanges against their opponents who thrive on dominating the physical exchanges.
Scotland's Achilles heel appears to be their back-line as, unlike their forwards, they don't have as much experience in that department.
Captain Greig Laidlaw, Ruaridh Jackson and Sean Lamont will be expected to provide direction to their inexperienced counterparts. A major reason for Scotland's defeat to Samoa was their inability to deal effectively with the physicality of the islanders.
Hopefully they would have worked on improving in that facet of play, as physical domination is also a key component of the Boks' game-plan.
Players to watch:
For South Africa: If, as expected, South Africa control proceedings, so much will depend on the effort of the home side's tight five. The performance of Adriaan Strauss as vice-captain and pack leader will be under the spotlight, especially as his great rival Bismarck du Plessis is set to make his return to action, via the replacements bench, after missing almost a year's action due to a serious knee injury. Strauss has made the Bok number two jersey his own during Du Plessis' stint on the sidelines, and will be keen to prove that he deserves to stay in the starting XV.
For Scotland: The visitors' new captain Greig Laidlaw is an intelligent player who, if his pack manages to be competitive, will play a huge role in getting his side onto the front foot. An accurate goal-kicker, Laidlaw's boot will be expected to keep the visitors in the match.
Head-to-head: Expect plenty of direct running and bone-crunching tackles between the two blindside flankers. Scotland's Alasdair Strokosch was one of his team's better players in last weekend's loss to Samoa and will look to continue where he left off in that clash when he takes on Bok bruiser Arno Botha who made a memorable debut against Italy after coming into the run-on side as a late replacement for Willem Alberts. Neither Strokosch nor Botha will take a backwards step in their quest to give their sides the upper-hand, so expect a fiercely contested battle.

EBay and Amazon.com are among the top m-commerce destinations, Arbitron says.
A greater percentage of iPhone users (67.5%) use mobile commerce apps compared with Android smartphone users (43.9%), according to the Arbitron Mobile U.S. smartphone panel. IPhone users spend more time than Android users with mobile commerce apps (105.3 minutes per month versus 87.6 minutes per month) and conduct more shopping trips (35 sessions per month versus 29.5 sessions per month). Measurements were made in February.
These figures are in line with the trend that users of Apple Inc. mobile devices are more valuable to retailers than users of Android devices. The story is the same across retailers. For example, 78.59% of mobile sales at e.l.f. Cosmetics in Q4 2012 stemmed from Apple iOS devices while only 20.74% came from Android devices, the retailer reports. More than 70% of mobile traffic at web-only jeweler Ice comes from Apple devices, the merchant says. More than 90% of mobile sales stem from Apple devices at Wine.com, the e-retailer says. And at HauteLook, 50-55% of mobile traffic comes from iPhones, 40-45% from iPads, and less than 5% from Android devices, the retailer reports.
"While there are more Android users than iPhone users, our data shows that iPhone users tend to use their phone more than Android owners both in terms of number of sessions and time spent," says Derrik Dennis, Arbitron Mobile's director of sales and business development. "This is especially true with downloadable apps where iPhone owners spend 67% more time using these apps."
EBay has the mobile app used by the largest share of Arbitron U.S. smartphone panelists—14.3%. EBay mobile shoppers used the app in 34.6 sessions during February for an average of one hour and 48 minutes in the month. Amazon.com's app came in second, used by 13.0% of panelists. Amazon mobile shoppers used the app in 10.9 sessions during February for an average of 40.0 minutes in the month.
Groupon's mobile app came in third, used by 11.1% of panelists. Groupon mobile shoppers used the app in 9.1 sessions in February for an average of 22.2 minutes in the month. Apple's Passbook app came in fourth, used by 8.1% of panelists. Passbook users used the app in 2.6 sessions during February for an average 2.0 minutes in the month. And Craigslist's mobile app came in fifth, used by 6.6% of panelists. Craigslist mobile shoppers used the app in 17.3 sessions during the month for an average of 80.4 minutes in the month.
Compared to mobile commerce apps, m-commerce web sites are accessed by a significantly larger share of U.S. smartphone panelists, but mobile consumers visit mobile sites less frequently and spend less time there, Arbitron says.
Amazon.com, the leading web site for smartphone commerce, is accessed by 34.7% of U.S. smartphone panelists, compared to the Amazon mobile app, which is used by 13% of the panel. Amazon mobile shoppers spend far less time accessing the Amazon m-commerce site than with the Amazon app (19.8 minutes per month for the site versus 40.0 minutes per month for the app). Amazon mobile shoppers also access Amazon.com via their smartphone browser far less often—5.7 average sessions per month for the site versus 10.9 average sessions per month for the app.
Google.com came in second among mobile sites, visited by 28.4% of Arbitron panelists. Google.com users spent an average 4.2 sessions per month for a total of 3.7 minutes in the month. EBay.com came in third, visited by 18.0% of smartphone panelists. EBay.com shoppers visited on average 5.8 times per month for a total of 22.8 minutes.
Craigslist.com came in fourth among mobile sites, visited by 15.6% of panelists. Craigslist.com visitors tallied an average of 14.2 sessions per month for a total of 60.6minutes. And Walmart.com came in fifth among mobile commerce sites, visited by 15.4% of panelists. Walmart.com shoppers visited 3.5 times for a total of 8.5 minutes.
In Arbitron's analysis of smartphone mobile commerce, the use of app stores for m-commerce is not included. There are about 13,000 adult smartphone users on Arbitron's U.S. smartphone panel.

Bills Humbled by Pats
by Howard Simon
posted Sep 30 2012 12:00AM
And you thought the season opening loss to the New York Jets was deflating? A complete collapse by the defense, a self destruction by the offense and two new injuries to the unit that had been the best part of the team in the first quarter of the season all added up in yet another miserable day at the hands of the hated New England Patriots.
So much for closing the gap on the Patriots, huh? In the last five games against the kings of the division, the Bills have given up point totals of 52, 49, 31, 38 and 38. That is a grand total of 208 points or an average of 41 a game.
For me, this matchup was all about the Bills defense. If they are indeed going to close that gap or maybe I should say gulf between themselves and the Pats, Buffalo needs to have a strong defense that can at the very least keep Tom Brady in check or beat him from time to time.
In fact, when the Bills took a 21-7 lead with 11:08 left in the third quarter, I wrote in my notes that a strong defense closes this game out and this is what could make the 2012 Bills different than so many other Bills teams.
The defense was then torched by Brady and company who scored touchdowns on their next six possessions. Here's the rundown:
8 plays, 80 yards, 2:58
How bad was the defense in that stretch? Only two times in those six possessions did the Bills ever get the Pats to a third down. New England converted both, a TD pass to Danny Woodhead on one drive and a third and nine conversion on a pass play to Wes Welker on another.
The Bills defense gave up 580 total yards, the second worst day in franchise history. Amazing when you think about all the times Brady and company put a hurting on this organization.
Shockingly, the Bills run defense looked like the 2011 edition as they were shredded by Stevan Ridley and Brandon Bolden. Both topped 100 yards, the first time the Pats had two backs top the century mark in the same game since 1982. Buffalo gave up nine rushes of at least ten yards.
Mario Williams, the big ticket free agent pickup was invisible and don't tell me about how he gets double teamed. I'm guessing defensive ends like Jared Allen and J.J. Watt and even a linebacker/pass rusher like Clay Mathews face double teams but they find a way to get to quarterbacks.
The Bills linebackers were completely useless and second year cornerback Justin Rogers was schooled by Wes Welker.
The offense had its issues as well, as six turnovers would attest. The Bills running game was a non factor on a day when both Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller returned to the lineup. Buffalo came into the game averaging 178 yards a game but were limited to 98 by New England. They had averaged 5.6 yards per carry but it was 3.6 in this game.
Fitzpatrick, who was picked off three times by the Jets in week one, had four passes caught by Patriots players meaning he's tossed 10 interceptions in the last three meetings with New England.
If this wasn't enough bad news for you, the offensive line which had been superb up until this game, lost two starters in Cordy Glenn and Kraig Urbik for "a while" to ankle injuries according to Chan Gailey.
If the Bills are ever going to make the playoffs again, they have to start beating their division rivals and yet in both AFC East games this season, Gailey's team has failed miserably. In case you were wondering, they have given up 100 points while losing to the Jets and Pats and dropping their record in division games to 4-22 since 2008.
Yes, its only one game but this was the Bills chance to step it up and show they had closed the gap with the "beasts of the east" and make a statement as they opened the toughest part of their schedule.
It was looking good at 21-7 early in the third quarter but then a fun day at the Ralph turned into another depressing disaster as the Pats went on a 35-0 romp over 15 ½ minutes of actual game time.
What's that old saying? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

KosherEye Featured Cookbook
by Geila Hocherman and Arthur Boehm
Kosher Cooking Without Boundaries
In their book Kosher Revolution, a Kyle Press publication, Geila Hocherman and Arthur Boehm share techniques and recipes which allow the kosher cook to widely expand the boundaries of kosher. The authors have quite an impressive background of international food credentials. Geila Hocherman attended La Verenne Cooking School, Paris' Cordon Bleu, and was a gourmet food buyer for Bloomingdale's. She worked as a private kosher caterer, and was a sous chef for the Food Network.
Arthur Boehm has co−authored several cookbooks, including contributing to the All New-Joy of Cooking. He has written numerous articles for The New York Times, The Washington Post and other prominent publications
Their book, Kosher Revolution, is based on the principle that all recipes can be translated to kosher through innovation in ingredients and preparation. The authors share their vast creative culinary toolbox to convert international recipes to kosher. In addition to the collection of contemporary and classic recipes, we like the ingredient exchange guide and cooking tips found throughout the book. The authors even include a shopping source list.
According to Arthur Schwartz, author of the classic book Jewish Home Cooking,"kosher is a set of rules, not a cuisine… you can be kosher and cook Chinese, French, Italian, Indian--any cuisine in the world. " We agree. This book is timely, considering how many new ingredients and products are currently becoming kosher certified. Kosher cooks now have boundless culinary options. We think that this book is a welcome addition to a beginning or seasoned cooking library!
One of our favorite recipes in Kosher Revolution is the spectacular Miso–Glazed Black Cod, a recipe originally created by the famed Chef Nobu Matshushia of New York's Nobu restaurant. The authors have kindly shared the recipe for this and for parve Crème Brûlée with our readers.
Available on Amazon.com.

Create a Thriving Business District
A Guide to City and Neighborhood Business District Resources
Produced by the City of Seattle - March, 2007 - Fifth Edition
Contact email@example.com with comments, questions, or out of date links or information.
Over the years, many business districts have upgraded their image, physical setting and economic performance through physical improvement projects. Listed below are some strategies to consider before initiating a project, as well as some of the lessons learned.
Focus on visitor comfort and convenience as well as appearance. Consider both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the proposed improvements. For example, if you are thinking about making sidewalk pavement repairs, start with the most heavily traveled routes first. Pedestrian lighting improvements can solve safety and security concerns as well as improve appearance. Landscaping can be positioned to direct pedestrians to your business entry and building awnings or canopies can provide weather protection.
Build a sense of identity. People enjoy feeling connected to their local business district. A unique image helps local residents identify with their neighborhood and attracts outside visitors. Identify what is unique about your community and build an identity around your existing assets. Fremont does this with its funky art; Ballard has Scandinavian flags and shops; and the University District emphasizes its connections to the University of Washington. Sometimes it is not easy to recognize your neighborhood's special qualities, but if community members think as a group, they can usually identify the elements that give a community its personality.
Leverage physical improvements with other business development efforts. Make the most of your investment in physical improvements by inviting customers to take a fresh look at your district. Advertise, have large sales or organize events to attract attention to your district and show off your efforts. It is also a good time to recruit new businesses and encourage redevelopment.
Have a strategy. Individual improvement projects should be part of an overall strategy that looks comprehensively at the issues facing the district. For example, the West Seattle Junction merchants had sufficient parking, but it was often located around the block from their business entrances. Therefore, they worked on a plan that emphasized pedestrian improvements between parking spaces and storefronts. At the same time, they added lights to illuminate dark spots along their street front and leveraged City sidewalk repair funds into a full sidewalk replacement.
Many neighborhoods created strategies through the neighborhood planning process. It is a good idea to review the plan for your neighborhood and talk to your plan's stewards before embarking on a new project. For a list of stewards click here. To review the neighborhood plans click here.
Sustain an improvement effort over time. Sometimes business districts can find sufficient funds for a full street reconstruction with new pavement, lights, landscaping and utilities. However, small improvements can also be effective, even though they are less dramatic than a full "make-over." If tied to a thought-out strategy, individual elements implemented over time can create an inviting district.
Collaborate. One of the biggest benefits of a physical improvement program is that it encourages local business owners, property owners and residents to work together. For example, the 15th Avenue NW Association began as a group of residents concerned about traffic problems. When local merchants joined the group, the focus expanded to the development of a more comprehensive cooperative plan including traffic flow improvements, street and storefront beautification and new sidewalks. Together, they have been successful at obtaining the support and attention of the City to help their project become a reality.

Members of Congress introduced a resolution Tuesday to pardon ex-champ Jack Johnson
The fight for the legacy of Jack Johnson continues unabated.
Two U.S. Senators and two U.S. Representatives introduced a resolution Tuesday to pardon the first African American heavyweight champion, wrongfully convicted of violating the Mann Act in 1913.
Since 2004, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) have sought a posthumous pardon of Johnson, whose racially motivated prosecution and conviction imprisoned him for a year.
The Mann Act prohibited transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes; Johnson dated a Caucasian woman.
Johnson's reputation and Hall of Fame career were ruined.
Johnson, the son of a former slave, was born March 31, 1878, in Galveston, Texas. His boxing skills were honed in "battle royals," events in front of white audiences in which several black men fought until a last man was standing to collect the coins tossed his way.
He turned professional in 1897 and went on to win the heavyweight title in 1908 by defeating Tommy Burns in Australia.
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Rep. William "Mo" Cowan (D-Mass.) joined McCain and King in co-authoring the resolution.
With bipartisan support, McCain hopes President Obama will take action. In past years, both chambers of Congress unanimously have passed the resolution but no executive action was taken.
"We can never completely right the wrong perpetuated against Jack Johnson during his lifetime," McCain said in a statement.
"But this pardon is a small, meaningful step toward acknowledging his mistreatment before the law and celebrating his legacy of athletic greatness and historical significance.
Johnson, who died in 1946, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990.

They do what I bought them for.
Pros: Comfort, price, allows you to hear traffic and surroundings
Cons: sound quality, cable
Well I will start off by saying this marks my first activity of any kind on Head-Fi, and in truth I have only been lurking behind the scenes reading for about a month before making this post so I can't say I have learned enough to have any credit here. I'm reviewing this only because I have them and no one else has said anything about them. In the spring of 2011 I took up running. If you have ever tried you understand why some tunes are helpful, if not move on then these are of no use to you. At any rate I was having a hard time finding headphones that either didn't hurt, or would stay in. I tried Sony MDR-AS40EX, and they would not stay in, they constantly bounced out...(read more)

By Brendan Conway
UBS (UBS) economist Duncan Wooldridge is no optimist when it comes to the Bank of Japan's goal of stimulating inflation in the the country. In his defense: One of the best ways to do it — expanding the labor force — is pretty much out of the question in Japan.
Have a look at what Wooldridge is calling the "lazy man's model" for Japanese inflation.
Targeting 2% inflation is "synonymous with saying aggregate demand will exceed aggregate supply," he writes. Building up labor is a great way to achieve it. But Japan's workforce is contracting, its population is ageing, and the country isn't (to say the least) disposed to opening the immigration floodgates to alter this equation.
Wooldridge explains:
Japan's labour participation rate needs to rise to compensate for a shrinking population. Tha[t] seems unlikely, though. Japan is aging rapidly and the labour participation rate falls for people as they grow old. Conceptually the impact of aging on the labour participation rate might be offset by a rising participation rate for women, but they are also aging. … Chart 1 shows the outlook for labour force growth under more realistic assumptions; i.e., holding labour participation rates steady for gender and age. If the historical relationship in Chart 1 holds then achieving a sustained 2% inflation is very doubtful.
Here's UBS' a chart of 5-year moving averages for Japan's labor force and core CPI for more than two decades:
It would be bad news for owners of white-hot funds tracking Japanese stocks. WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity fund (DXJ) and iShares MSCI Japan Index Fund (EWJ) are now the two most popular ETFs of the year by asset inflows, according to XTF. The pair have soared by about 30% and 20%, respectively, this year. Maxis Nikkei 225 Index Fund (NKY), another Japan stock ETF, is ahead by about 17% in 2013.

Louis Joseph Schmitz
Memorial Mass for Louis Joseph Schmitz will be celebrated Saturday, Feb. 1 at 10 a.m. at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church, 28 E. Montezuma, Cortez.
A longtime resident of Cortez, Lou was born Dec. 13, 1930, in Kirkwood, Mo., a suburb of St. Louis. He died on Dec. 31, 2013, at his home.
Lou was the son of Robert Peter and Theresa Agnes (Geders) Schmitz. Five brothers and two sisters were all raised in a loving, faith-filled home.
He was active in numerous ministries and grounds maintenance at the church. Lou had various jobs during his 43 years in Cortez. He was a field and clearance man with Nielsons for the new city sewer project during the 1970s. He did maintenance and sharpened the saws for the Plywood Plant, mail carrier for the U.S. Post Office, and owner/operator of "Kiddie Kare Kollege" a preschool/daycare center. Last, when he was supposed to be retired, he opened a home-based seasonal service of lawn mowers, small-engine repair and saw-sharpening business. He liked fixing anything, especially VW Beetles. He could build, repair, restore anything and was always willing and ready to help others anytime they needed him. Lou was gentle, kind and humble with a servant's heart.
