While we're on the subject, here's another market observer who thinks junk-bond prices have fallen to the point that they're now more attractive than leveraged loans. Peter Tchir of TF Market Advisors says choosing between leveraged loans or junk bonds now really comes down to your view of the economy, "yet I think we have seen the markets become dislocated enough that high yield bonds now look to offer better risk/reward than leveraged loans under most circumstances."
Tchir argues that investors are overemphasizing the impact of Treasury yields on the high-yield market, while misunderstanding the relationship between rising Treasury rates and floating-rate loans, noting that bank-loan rates are based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, not on Treasuries:
We agree that leveraged loans are unlikely to be hurt by rising rates but we do NOT see them benefiting from rising rates. That is a misconception that is out there, particularly at the retail level and is one reason this market is overbought…. Rising treasury yields do absolutely nothing for leveraged loans as they are priced on LIBOR, in fact as the curve between LIBOR and treasuries steepen, leveraged loans look less attractive. This curve is the steepest it has been at any time since the start of 2012….
We like the upside of bonds and don't see upside in loans here with some chance that the peculiar nature of current Fed policy may actually be hurtful to loans as it turns them into low coupon fixed rate loans rather than the floating rate product they are supposed to be.
For investors wanting floating-rate exposure, Tchir puts in a plug for the iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT):
If you want pure floating rate, then something like FLOT can work well. It is an ETF that has grown to $2 billion that invests in floating rate debt issued predominantly by financial institutions. It is a direct comparison to investment grade bonds and think many of the issues we highlight here that impact the relationship between high yield bonds and leveraged loans do not hold up when looking at investment grade bonds versus their floating rate bond equivalents, but that is for another day.

There is overwhelming evidence from studies in the USA, Finland, China, India and Japan that lifestyle changes (achieving a healthy body weight and moderate physical activity) can help prevent the development of type 2 diabetes in those at high risk. The new IDF strategy advocates that this should be the initial intervention for all people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as the focus of population health approaches.
There is growing evidence that earlier detection of individuals with IGT (impaired glucose tolerance) and others at high risk of developing diabetes, followed by interventions to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes and improve glucose control, can result in clinically important reductions in the incidence of diabetes and its complications and co-morbidities.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are a time of camaraderie when friends, professors and guests all come together to enjoy a fine meal and each other's company. Affectionately referred to as "The CAF", the Young Hall Cafeteria offers a wide selection of all-you-can-eat meals. Meal choices include classic home style meals, a pizza bar, deli sandwiches, hamburgers and fries, and a salad bar. All first-year freshmen, and students that live in a residence hall room without kitchen facilities, are required to have at least a 14 meal plan. A 9 meal plan (or larger) is required of all other residents. Hoover residents who have lived on the UWA campus for at least two semesters are exempt from the meal plan requirement. 14 meal plans consist of any 14 meals during the week (out of 19). This plan is required of residents living in Gilbert Hall and Selden Hall. 9 meal plans allow you to eat any 9 of the 19 meals provided during the week. This plan is required of residents living in Reed, Patterson, Stickney and Hoover. Although not required by any residential option, students may choose the 19 meal plan. This plan is the most economical, providing the opportunity to eat every meal offered during the week at The CAF. For more information, check out the UWA Campus Dining page.

John Breen wants to bring another national soccer championship to the province. Jim Buckingham wants to get every kid off of Xbox.
With that in mind, the two had a dream to build an indoor FieldTurf facility that would allow athletes and teams to train all year round.
That shared vision is now reality.
Breen, a former soccer player with Holy Cross who coaches minor soccer, Buckingham and a silent partner own the facility in Pleasantville, where they have a 40-year lease on the land with the City of St. John's for $1 a year.
Buckingham, the facility's manager, said the idea came about by chance five years ago.
"John was coaching my son in minor soccer and he phoned me one day and asked if I could help out. I went to a game where I met John for the first time and within 20 minutes we decided we were going to build an indoor facility," Buckingham explained.
"We had a budget based on what we could beg, borrow or steal," he added with a grin.
"I've always wanted to work with kids and John was looking for a place where young players could train indoors during the winter."
Buckingham said it's all worthwhile when he sees the look on kids' faces when they enter the facility for the first time.
"They're amazed and the first thing they want to do is kick a ball on the FieldTurf. The next thing they want to do is run the length of the field," he said.
Looking back on that first meeting with Breen, Buckingham recalls, "We both decided at that point that we weren't going to back off until it was done."
Little did they know their determination to have the province's first indoor FieldTurf soccer facility built would be severely tested.
Ground was broken for the project Sept. 25, 2008 and a towering steel frame was erected, but in January of 2009, winds — gusting to more than 100 kilometres an hour — and a snowfall of 15 centimetres — combined to bring the steel frame down.
Even then, Buckingham didn't lose hope.
The 72,000 square foot facility, which opened last month, will cost close to $8 million when its fully complete. The playing surface is 290 feet long by 190 feet wide with a 56-foot high ceiling.
There are plans to add a raised indoor track within the year.
Buckingham is offering free hours for metro soccer associations until the end of this month.
Mainly built for indoor soccer, the facility can play host to a number of other sports. Lacrosse, for example, is currently being played there.
"Touch football checked it out recently and were very excited about it. Ultimate frisbee has expressed an interest and touch football, lawn bowling, softball and baseball have shown some interest in it as well," Buckingham said.
The facility was also used last week during the Canadian junior hockey development camp, where the players went through tests and drills in an off-ice program designed specifically for hockey by Nike.
The facility is open seven days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Buckingham said he wouldn't be surprised if it's open 24 hours a day in the future, depending on the demand.
There are five students working at the facility.
Buckingham would like to see a person or some company offer to purchase the naming rights to the building.
"There's are lots of space for a name here or there," he said, pointing at various spots on the outside of the facility.
"This is a very prominent part of the city. There are lots of sports facilities in the area, including a couple of softball fields, a rugby field, Quidi Vidi Lake's across the street and King George V Park is just up the road. There's lots going on in the area."
He also says the facility's indoor walls can accommodate lots of advertising.
There are plans for an outdoor FieldTurf soccer pitch behind the building, but that's some years away, Buckingham said.
Acknowledging there are "still some bugs to get out," he says the facility will eventually have bleachers, and divider curtains are being installed shortly.
"We've spent a lot more money than we originally budgeted," Buckingham explained, "so we have to wait a while before we start putting more money into it and complete the finishing touches."

Abby Phillips was thrilled to learn she had been selected to play in Saturday's annual Mississippi Association of Coaches All-Star Soccer Game.
"It's such an honor to be picked," said the Tupelo High midfielder and Mississippi State signee. "Some of my friends were selected last year. This will be my last high school game."
Phillips will join 11 other players from Northeast Mississippi selected to participate in the girls and boys matches at Clinton High School football stadium. The girls will play at 4 p.m., followed by the boys.
One of her North teammates will be Tupelo's goal keeper, Alabama signee Kat Stratton, the Daily Journal's Player of the Year last season.
"It's an honor," Stratton said. "There are a lot of people on this (THS) team who could have gotten picked."
Stratton recorded 11 shutouts this season and led Tupelo the Class 6A state championship game.
Amory's high-scoring forward Addie Forbus, the leading candidate for the Journal's 2013 Player of the Year honor, and Corinth keeper Stennett Smith, the Journal's slow-pitch softball Player of the Year in the fall, were also selected.
Forbus, an Ole Miss signee, finished her career with a state-record 231 goals. He scored 50 this season with 15 assists.
Piercen Burchfield, a defender on Pontotoc's Class 4A state championship team, and forward Hunter Stewart and midfielder Hayden Stewart, brothers from Oxford's 5A state title squad will join forces on the North.
Amory's Evan Thomas, Tupelo's Alx Little and Drew Williams, and Starkville's Dylan Howard were also selected.
Amory head coach Nathan Clayton and his assistant, Linzy Patterson, are the North boys coaches.

Made the rounds this morning and didn't really find anything SW...but the new Walmart exclusive Pixar Cars are out. Got me a set this morning in PC. Didn't stash anything because...
1) there were stockers everywhere
2) there were a TON of these
Also picked up a 25th anniv Snake Eyes.
Haven't found much SW lately... did find wave 2 of GI Joe 25th yesterday... but I decided against buying them after opening a few of my wave 1's
I picked up Beachhead that JodyB left... never had him as a kid. I don't mind the new Joes TOO much, but they are too tall and rather flimsy with tiny heads. And there's no excuse for Duke's helmet to not even cover his ears.
went to target this morning, saw a big line for halo 3, i thought everyone was going to the toys, but it was for halo. nothing new SWor TF
went to tru van nuys yesterday nothing new there as well.

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
Funny thing is, I had two orders - one was for the rest of the figures and the second order was just the McSnowies (which popped up a few min after I placed the first order). Neither order has shipped. I called them today to see what was going on and they were completely useless. Both orders are just sitting there, not yet shipped. I have a feeling they oversold them.
I'm pretty annoyed since I cancelled my EE pre-order after ordering them on amazon. Amazon sucks @**.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
And when I pre-ordered the Gold 1st Appearance Iron Man and Maskless Green Goblin, the pre-orders just sat there... while people who ordered them on the day the figures arrived in their warehouse got theirs. My orders were NEVER filled.
So my advice in the future would be to go ahead and order from Amazon, but never ever cancel any other orders until you have the merchandise in your hand.
I've gotten burned by them on pre-orders before, but never on "In Stock" merchandise.
Also, heads up - Wave 6 cases are now in stock at BigBadToyStore. Just ordered one, so all's well that ends well, I guess.

Good stuff as per usual SL, lots to mull over…. change can be a good thing.
It's safe to come out now. The you-know-what is over. I don't know what it was supposed to prove, with the Tigers not in it, but I guess they'd already scheduled the event and couldn't cancel on such short notice.
(NOTE TO FUTURE GENERATIONS IN SEARCH OF CONTEXT: At this point in the offseason, the following changes/events have taken place: Jim Leyland has retired. Four or five candidates to replace him have been interviewed and have also interviewed with other teams. Club declines to offer Brayan Pena a contract. Matt Tuiasosopo (Diamondbacks) and Darin Downs (Astros) have been claimed off waivers by other teams. Club declines to pick up Jose Veras's option. Miguel Cabrera has had surgery to repair a groin tear and is expected to recover well before spring training 2014.)
To discuss, much of said discussion already in progress:
* Who will the new manager be? Who should it be? You, maybe? Commenting here gives you a leg up for the job, I've been told, so speak up.
* Whole new coaching staff or some holdovers?
* Catcher: Avila/Holaday? Holaday/Veteran Backup? Free Agent/Avila?
* First Base: Fielder an albatross? A slight overreaction, perhaps?
* Second Base: Pay up for Infante or let him go? Go with youth and potential in Perez, or make him serve an apprenticeship, under… who?
* Shortstop: Is Iglesias the shortstop of the future or an injury-plagued and mostly batless dead end?
* Third Base: Is Cabrera's surgery really "no big deal"? Will his condition(ing) and health be an issue in 2014? How did that groin injury come about, anyway? (Rhetorical.)
* Left Field: Sink or swim with Castellanos? Hedge your bets with Dirks? Something more surprising, as in free agent in, other guys gone?
* Center Field: Continue to grant AJax Favored CF status, or pull a surprise? Could he bloom under a manager with actual confidence in him?
* Right Field: Is Torii the Hacker really your #2 hitter? I see a vacancy at #6.
* Designated Hitter: A position without a question mark, eh? Oops. Would Martinez batting immediately behind Cabrera be too much to ask for?
* Bench: Santiago and Kelly stick around? Seriously? What's a good bench for this team?
* Starting pitching: Would they really trade Scherzer? Come on. Really? Is Smyly in the rotation a foregone conclusion? Is Fister such a lock? Does the occasionally brilliant young Alvarez stand a chance, and would it take an injury to one of the main dudes to find out?
* Bullpen: Is Benoit the "anchor" you want? Will the mythical appeal of "established closer" never die? Is it enough already with AlburCokey? Is Rondon the new Zumaya? As the bullpen purge proceeds apace, would you rather see a few "name guys" brought in or an effort to assemble a greater quantity of lesser-known talent? Rondon, Putkonen, Ortega, Alvarez – young turks and core of a new group or peripherals?
* AL Central: Would 3rd place in 2014 surprise you? It's a jungle out there.
* Does a new manager really promise a more modern approach to baseball and a different style of play, or does "no culture change" mean what we think it means? Is Mr. New Manager going to be the placeholder for a train wreck, the one-season sacrificial lamb?
* Scan those free agent and arbitration-eligible lists, plot your brilliant trades, and order your brilliant lineups and batting orders. The Hot Stove League is upon us.
Good stuff as per usual SL, lots to mull over…. change can be a good thing.
I got an email from TSE yesterday. He said he would be happy to be manager. I kow he doesn't post here any more but he does on Panas' Tiger Tales. He goes into a fairly detailed description of his baseball philosophy in this one:
"once again, I was right"
shocker there.
Yes, but his plan for searching for a new manager is worth reading (Make a list of 1,000 candidates and make them all take a logic test…)
Yes, create a test that no one* could pass and then try to find 1,000 people who would a) agree to take it, and b) fail it. Highly efficient, workable, and logical.
* Well, with one exception.
Well, it seems like the Tigers could use an Extreme Makeover. Improving the bullpen almost in its entirety, a few holes in the lineup and no bench to speak of, are three areas which it will be interesting to see how they are changed. Its a big task and how much of it can be addressed is the question, as it will be impossible to perfect completely in any or all of these areas. And we haven't even got to the "culture" part (whatever that is), which seems to me would change with a major turnover in personnel. The teardown is already in progress, but the remodeling part is as yet unknown. Hopefully there is a comprehensive plan here, as going about it piecemeal is doomed to failure. Although DD has been real good at springing deals to bring in high quality individual parts, he hasn't been able to assemble an effective unit. The Fielder signing is a case in point – on a team that at the time was loaded with 1B/DH types he goes out and signs another firstbaseman (and for a rediculous amount of money and years). Not that Fielder isn't a productive player, because he is, but this was not an area where the Tigers were in particular need. He has done well with the starting staff of course, but the rest of the team has been a Jeckyll and Hyde for the most part. I'm going to refrain from speculating this offseason and just sit back and non-judgmentally (as much as I can anyway) see what DD and Special Assistant Leyland put together.
And what you guys put together should be prety intersting, but please, please please, no "trade Fielder and move Castellanos back to third" arguments, since neither of those is going to happen.
Trading Fielder would be the best thing that could happen, and the least likely thing that will happen. He is close to untradeable; we are stuck with him I am afraid.
I think things are gonna work out fine with Fielder.
He will never be a good first baseman, and never a good baserunner. It's all about the bat. Where did Mr. Home Run Derby go? He seems to have lost all confidence at the plate. Maybe Kevin is right, and his head is just all wrong from his divorce, which is something that can be gotten over. I know there are other theories.
The prospect of swapping out Alex Avila for Brian McCann (no interest in the only other major free agent C, Jarrod Saltalamacchia) is a bit vexing. Avila *was* McCann a couple years ago. Coincidentally, that was also last the time *McCann* was really McCann. So who's going to get better? McCann is a gamble; Avila less so. If you could put together a good trade that involved Avila, I might say yes. Otherwise, no.
Man. Avila sure strikes out a lot. That's not good, right? (I'm new to this.)
I say no to bringing Joaquin Benoit back for closer money. I say no to signing any of the most talked-about free agent closers for closer money. I say no to the concept of closer. I don't think the Tigers are going to listen.
I say they sign Balfour and Valverde and make them a setup/closer combo that will really infuriate opposing teams.
I suppose it will (it should) have a lot to do with who the new manager is. Hopefully a new skipper would be in place before the major new additions are decided upon. Unless it is McClendon, or Leyland has changed his mind and wants to come back, in which case this is all being decided right now.
"a setup/closer combo that will really infuriate opposing teams."
Not to mention their own fans.
Good Choice! very sharp man with that Catcher perspective of the game. Here's hoping we get a couple or 4 or 5 "new" coaches too.
PSA: set your clocks back and check your Smoke and CO detectors' batteries!
With no prior managing experience it will be interesting to see who he selects as his coaches. I wouldn't mind sticking with Jones, but the I'd like to see the rest of them sent packing.
Out of the field interviewed I believe Ausmus is/was the best choice.
I agree w/Vince, I wouldn't retain any of the current coaching staff, with the possible exception of Jones, but it wouldn't upset me if Ausmus brought in all his own guys. Unless Ausmus speaks fluent Spanish, with all the Latin players it would probably be a good idea to bring in a coach to bridge that language gap.
Good point. Si!
Ausmus has been working in the Padres' front office. The Tigers interviewed Padres bench coach Rick Renteria for the managing job. If he doesn't get a managing job somewhere else, does Ausmus bring him to Detroit as bench coach? That would solve the Spanish speaking problem. At least I assume Renteria speaks Spanish, he coached the Mexican National Team.
That was a good article..

Traditional lasagna gets a lively Tex-Mex inspiration, with a one-dish meal that includes Progresso black beans and frozen corn.
Pair the lasagna with a side of cornbread and a salad of iceberg wedges drizzled with chipotle ranch dressing.
To make a vegetarian version, substitute precooked vegan sausage or soy-protein sausage crumbles for the turkey sausage.
When shopping for lasagna noodles for this recipe, look for the flat, homemade-style type. Not having to cook the noodles first is a real time-saver!

I collect a lot of SW stuff, but I'm especially happy with the new DVD I got of Hardware Wars. Most people are familiar with it by now I guess, its the best of all the Star Wars take-offs, the flying appliances hung from string, Oggie Ben Doggie, Ham Salad and the rest of the crew, May the Farce be with you, etc. Its still a hoot to watch, plus there's several extra features on the dvd like a director's cut, some commentaries, the Antiques Sideshow.
I originally stumbled into at http://www.mwp.com/pages/filmshardware.html With the new film about to come out I'm always amazed at just how much SW impacts our culture.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett shares a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: Duck or Dash
Stoltz made the decision for me. He eased out of the woodlot and started creeping south to the open part of the field. It was an aggressive move, but he was making it quickly and decisively. The birds were silent, so I figured we'd spooked them.
Soon, we reached the southeastern corner and "set up." Stoltz was leaning against a dead tree and a fencepost, while I sat cross-legged on the ground with my back against a brush pile. Comfortable or not, Stoltz raised his hand to his mouth and let out a soft string of yelps.
Ka-boom! The birds hammered in response. Fifteen minutes later, we doubled on the pair of 2-year-olds.
No doubt, Stoltz's choice had been ultra-aggressive, but it worked. Best, he made up his mind and executed his move swiftly. Had I been hunting solo, I might have gone the conservative route. I doubted my results would have matched his.
What decision did you make?

The Red River Gorge climbing is pumpy. So pumpy, in fact, that you're often too fried to clip the anchors at the top of a route. This excellent Weekend Whipper--which was submitted by Trevor Paul Verrier-- is a classic case of running it out to the chains, only to have nothing left. Filmed with a GoPro, the viewer witnesses a longer ride than expected. Enjoy!

A pancreas transplant is surgery to implant a healthy pancreas from a donor into a patient with diabetes. Pancreas transplants give the patient a chance to stop taking insulin injections.
Transplant - pancreas; Transplantation - pancreas
The healthy pancreas is taken from a donor who is brain dead, but is still on life support. The donor pancreas must be carefully matched to the patient who is receiving it. The healthy pancreas is transported in a cooled solution that preserves the organ for up to about 20 hours.
The patient's diseased pancreas is not removed during the operation. The donor pancreas is usually placed in the right lower part of the patient's abdomen. Blood vessels from the new pancreas are attached to the patient's blood vessels. The donor duodenum is attached to the patient's intestine or bladder.
The surgery for a pancreas transplant takes about 3 hours. This operation is usually done at the same time as a kidney transplant in diabetic patients with kidney disease. The combined operation takes about 6 hours.
The pancreas makes a substance called insulin. Insulin moves glucose, a sugar, from the blood into the muscles, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel.
In people with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough, or sometimes any, insulin. This causes glucose to build up in the blood, leading to a high level of sugar in the blood. High blood sugar over a long time can cause many complications, including:
A pancreas transplant can cure diabetes and eliminate the need for insulin shots. Because of the risks involved with surgery, most persons with type 1 diabetes do not have a pancreas transplant just after they are diagnosed.
Pancreas transplant is rarely done alone. It is almost always done when someone with type 1 diabetes also needs a kidney transplant.
Pancreas transplant surgery is not usually done in persons who also have:
Risks of anesthesia include:
Risks of pancreas transplant include:
Once your doctor refers you to a transplant center, you will be seen and evaluated by the transplant team. They will want to make sure that you are a good candidate for pancreas and kidney transplant. You will have several visits over several weeks or even months. You will need to have blood drawn and x-rays taken.
Tests done before the procedure include:
You will also want to consider one or more transplant centers to determine which is best for you:
If the transplant team believes you are a good candidate for a pancreas and kidney transplant, you will be put on a national waiting list.
While you are waiting for a pancreas and kidney, follow these steps:
You will need to stay in the hospital for about 3 to 7 days or longer. After you go home, you will need close follow-up by a doctor and regular blood tests for 1 to 2 months or longer.
Your transplant team may ask you to stay close to the hospital for the first 3 months. You will need to have regular check-ups with blood tests and x-rays for many years.
If the transplant is successful, you will no longer need to take insulin shots, test your blood-sugar daily, or follow a diabetes diet.
There is evidence that the complications of diabetes, such as diabetic retinopathy, may not get worse and may even improve after a pancreas-kidney transplant.
More than 95% of people survive the first year after a pancreas transplant. Organ rejection occurs in about 1% of patients each year.
You must take medicines that prevent rejection of the donated pancreas and kidney for the rest of your life.

escaping lock-in
about a decade ago, i set up a yahoo email account as a spam catcher, and have used it for all sorts of registrations over the years. the time had come to finally ditch that account, between the pathetic spam filtering and the annoying user interface, but how to get all the emails i still cared about out without having to pay ransom? freepops to the rescue.
i find it remarkable that yahoo is so insecure about their product that they feel the need to lock-in users. in contrast, the superior gmail offers free pop access, so there is no lock-in. it is about time the industry holds yahoo to task over this nonsense.

you may have noticed that this blog is far less active than it used to be. i blame del.icio.us. the opportunity to write pithy one-liners instead of rambling posts is just too attractive. if you want to enjoy those, either join my network (preferred, i like to know who enjoys my stuff) or subscribe to my del.icio.us feed, or both.
i also went ahead and added tags on here. you can now read all posts tagged with future, or even combinations like events with photos. i also blend in the appropriate del.icio.us results at the bottom.
if you are feed-challenged, you can also follow the latest del.icio.us links on the side bar on my blog. otherwise, i recommend google reader.

so i tried google reader again. amazingly, it felt more responsive than RSS Bandit. my archive of read posts is in the thousands. i like having access to them, and often use them in searches. this puts a heavy toll on memory usage:

go read this article on elephant violence. it has the qualities of a seminal piece on cross-species relations. consider this statement from a ugandan researcher who grew up in a war zone:
I started looking again at what has happened among the Acholi and the elephants. I saw that it is an absolute coincidence between the two. All these kids who have grown up with their parents killed - no fathers, no mothers, only children looking after them. They form these roaming, violent, destructive bands. It's the same thing that happens with the elephants. Just like the male war orphans, they are wild, completely lost. Most people are scared of showing that kind of anthropomorphism. But coming from me it doesn't sound like I'm inventing something. It's there. People know it's there. Some might think that the way I describe the elephant attacks makes the animals look like people. But people are animals.
now we can either discuss the semantics of sentience as we recognize our peer species, hopefully before it is too late, or we can adopt a new term that is not laden with meaning that needs to be repurposed first. sophonts works for me: why look at far away stars when we can find peers right under our nose?

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Not FF related but...
I could stare at these all day. Makes me ponder the fact that the cosmos is expanding at speeds we could not fathom, and that in the infinite expanse of the universe we are but an infinitesimal spec, a non-spec in the scope of things cosmic, twirling on an axis that revolves around our own local star in a myriad of countless other stars in a galaxy whose proportions we could not travel in a lifetime at light speed, part of continually greater structures in a great mind-blowing never-ending and expanding concept called "existence".
Despite the immeasurable breadth of this universe, an Oasis named Earth; endowed with the only thing that surpasses infinity in it's wonder - life. Thus, each light on the land mass marks tens of thousands if not millions of wives, children and friends at Thanksgiving dinner smiling across cranberry sauce at relatives or chatting around a glowing fireplace with a glass of wine from across the planet clinking a toast to the good life.
The dichotomy - as we strive for the "good" life we introduce threats to our oasis. We live at odds with our environment, carving away at it's resources and reshaping it from earth to sky to sea. As I realized our (species') impact on the planet, I was appalled by how little we appreciate our miracle home day to day. In fact, with rare occasion, we take it all for granted. It's hardly a mainstream thought, like money or entertainment, or work, etc.
Extraterrestrial life gets more attention than really REALLY thinking about what we have right here. Maybe if we took a moment each day to think about what the powers that be have given us we'd learn to live in a better balance with it.
If there is another place out there with life (we can't find water at this point) it means little more than a curiosity to me. The media buzz that would ensue would surpass anything that we've given to our own miracle.

I've always noted times. In fact, my pocketwatch version of a grandfather clock on my dresser has been at 9:11 for the last 15 years or so (as an homage to the "9-1-1 is a Joke" song from Public Enemy, not that "other" one). I also note time left in sporting events at 9:11, as well as when the score's 51-50 (crazy, eh? :crazed: ).
A sampling of the times I look forward to during the day, and why:
6:07, 6:41 (Cub and Boy Scout pack and troop numbers)
12:34 or 1:23 (and it the watch has 56 or 45 seconds, even better)
8:08 (a common time, Bob)
11:38 (we know why)
10:23 (personal info, available in my profile :pleased: )
7:47 (lea-vin' on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again)
11:11 (four aces? c'mon! )
There's probably more, but I can't remember them now. Maybe at another TIME. Ha!

Track Broad footprints; 5 toes print on all feet, although innermost, smallest toe may fail to register. Foreprints 4" (100 mm) long, 5" (125 mm) wide, turned in slightly at front. Hindprints 79" (180230 mm) long, 5" (125 mm) wide. Individually prints (especially hindprints) look as if made by a flat-footed human in moccasins, except that large toe is outermost. In soft earth or mud, claw indentations usually visible just in front of toe marks. Bears have a shuffling gait; hind tracks and front tracks are paired, with hind track several inches before front track on same side. Stride about 1' (300 mm) long. Sometimes, when walking slowly, hindprints either partially or completely overlap foreprints; when running, hindfeet brought down well ahead, with gaps of 3' (900 mm) or more between complete sets of tracks.
Bear tracks, because of their size and shape are distinctive. Field analysis usually concerns determining whether the tracks were made by Black or Grizzly Bears in regions where the two overlap. The main difference between the two is size, although there is some overlap, particularly between subadult Grizzlies and adult Black Bears. Primary difference should be claw length; distance between front of any toe and tip of claw (claw length) should be compared to toe length. Claw length greater than toe length in Grizzly. Grizzly tracks usually show less space between toes than those of Black Bear. Black Bear toes are usually arranged in more of an arc than those of Grizzlies.
Sign Feeding signs: Logs or stones turned over for insects; decayed stumps or logs torn apart for grubs; ground pawed up for roots; anthills or rodent burrows excavated; berry patches torn up; fruit-tree branches broken; rejected bits of carrion or large prey, such as pieces of skin, often with head or feet attached.
Trees: Scarred with tooth marks, often as high as a bear can reach when standing on its hindlegs; higher, longer claw slashes, usually diagonal but sometimes vertical or horizontal. In spring, rub marks and snagged hair on furrowed or shaggy-barked trees used repeatedly and by several bears as shedding posts, to rub away loose hair and relieve itching.
Scat: Usually dark brown, roughly cylindrical, sometimes coiled, similar to that of domestic dog but larger; often showing animal hair, insect parts, seeds, grasses, root fibers, or nutshells. Where bears have fed heavily on berries, scat may be liquid black mass.
Trails: Those used by generations of bears are well worn, undulating, and marked with depressions.

My first trip to NM for Turkey was Apr 2009. We went to Ruidoso because a friend had a place for us to stay there. We scouted for a day and a half in the Lincoln NF around Ruidoso. Opening AM my partner got his longbeard about 10 minutes out of the truck. Second day, same place - I went across the road. I got my longbeard at 8:22 AM. Third day we went to the Sacremento Mts. (about 2 hr drive) Got there late but found a good spot about 10:00. Didn't plan to, but we stayed all day and I got my 2nd longbeard at 6:00 PM (22 pounds + on a scale). My partner played with others on several days but no caps poped. We also caught trout in the river there.
We are from Louisiana and hunted Florida, Louisiana and Oklahoma before we got to NM. One of the best hunts we had and we had never been there before. If the rest of the state is like that, it must be great all over. Some hunting pressure but not too bad.
We were disappointed that the birds we got didn't have WHITE on the tailfeathers - they were buff. The biologist told us that they were definately Meriams. Are there areas that have Meriams with white tailfeathers?

I started working one day a week for Ruapehu Federated Farmers in 1992. Now my territory covers much of the central North Island, from Galatea through to North Taranaki and I am also the field officers' team manager.
One of the reasons I have worked with Federated Farmers for so long is because it is a privilege to work with farmers in some of New Zealand's most beautiful areas. I also very much agree with the Federation's philosophy, so being a spokesperson for what we do comes naturally. Most farmers I visit are welcoming and open. Although some may not join, almost all agree Federated Farmers is the only group representing all farmers right across the broad spectrum of farming.
One of the job's highlights is seeing the sons of farmers I joined up many years ago now joining.
Over the years there have been tricky situations involving vehicles, ditches and, increasingly, dogs. The latest incident saw me doing a 100-metre sprint through a beautiful rose garden, a long jump onto the driveway and the Fosbury flop through the door of my car. My next job may be working with the Olympic team.
I live in Ruapehu district with my husband Bob and have five children. Our background is farming, but we now live on a small lifestyle block. Bob and I love travelling overseas, which always highlights to me how innovative and advanced New Zealand farmers are.
Most farmers I visit are improving their farms to leave them much more sustainable and profitable than when they took them on. I have walked through hectares of fenced pristine native bush and newly planted wetlands, established to provide habitat for native species. Farmers do these things because they love the land.
I am proud to work for an organisation which recognises farmers' achievements and wish some of agriculture's detractors would spend time with me on the road so they could see the huge areas farmers are voluntarily protecting on their land.
Federated Farmers' job is to protect farmers so they can continue these works. We do this by standing between farmers and those who make the rules which affect farming, trying to educate the regulators about the industry's realities and practicalities. We also advocate for best practice in farming. To continue ensuring farming remains profitable for the future, the Federation needs all farmers to support what we do.

I've seen that funky lookin' Skeletor repaint also. I actually thought it was a knock-off at first.
Has anyone else else had a problem finding Masters of the Universe figures at TRU? I frequent no fewer than four TRU's and neither of them has had much of anything in the past couple months besides Smash Blade He-Man and the transforming Eagle and Bat backpack thingies! I wonder what the deal is with that.
I have not had any problems. My TRU has been very slow latley on MOTU but just recently stocked some Man-E-Faces. A few I think.
Anyhoo, my Target stores have stocked the Slime Pit w/ figure. It's cool looking but not for $30!!!!
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
Tomart's posted this month that the new six miniature He Man figures are out. Seeing that these are all on clearance all over the place, does anyone have any suggestions on where to obtain these? Diamond has them but they are a case purchase only. Thanks.
I found all of mine at the local Dollar Tree store (probably more than a month ago, actually) for a buck apiece! I might be able to help you out with them if'n you're interested. Send me a PM.Originally Posted by Sentinel18725
Be careful with your Mekanecks. . . . Mine fell from his perch yesterday, and his club broke in two near the top of the handle. I spoke with a friend, and the same thing happened to his a day or two earlier. This looks like an epidemic of sorts.
If yours is displayed on a high shelf (I'd say four feet or above), I'd recommend moving him back where he can't fall all the way.
That's my jacket!
The new repaints of skeletor and triclops are . . . odd. I did pick up TriK and Merman though. Anyone else?
Your signature here!
Skeletor is yet another case of eye poison. The Triklops repaint is far less awful, though neither have a reason to exist on our planet at all.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Agreed. Merman's repaint is very close to the original, and not as hard on the eyes, I never think I will understand why skeletor is gold. . . metallic!
Nevertheless, it was a good idea in someone's mind at mattel. And they should have to stare at skeletor all day long until they realize that they were wrong.
Your signature here!
I guess Mattel decided to beat the bootleggers at their own game with these ones.

Marianne Kelley
MADISON- Marianne Kelley(Schueller), our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, passed away on Monday July 1, 2013, after a courageous eleven year battle with breast cancer.
She was born on May 25, 1953, in Madison, the daughter of John and Mary Anne (Martig) Kelley.
Marianne worked for the City of Madison Parking Enforcement for over 30 years, and as a Little League and WIAA Umpire for 30 years. Her greatest moment as an umpire was in 2009 when she umpired the Little League World Series Regionals in Indiana. Marianne was always keeping busy. When she wasn't at the field umpiring and surrounding herself with the kids and parents at baseball games, she also enjoyed quilting, running on the treadmill, or going to the club to do some dancing. She will be remembered as a free spirit, who was a fighter and fought to the end.
She is survived by her children, Patrick Schueller, Troy (Kris) Schueller, Tina (Allen Cummings) Schueller, and Brad (Susan) Schueller; a step-son, Ryan (Josalynn) West; she cherished her seven grandkids, Roman, Noa, Garrett, Chloe, Hunter, McKenzie, and Jaxson; her sisters, Marcia (Steve) Demars, and Karla (Paul) Kasprzak; her brothers, Chris (Louann) Kelley, Jeff (Vicki) Kelley, and Tim (Rhonda) Kelley; two sisters-in-law, Diane Kelley and Diane Kelley; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and two brothers, John Kelley and Paul Kelley.
The family extends a special thanks to Allen Cummings, Deb Foster, and Kay Kaltenberg for their care of their mother. And a special thanks to Cori and Cassie at Heartland Hospice for their compassionate care of Marianne.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday , July 6, 2013, at ST. PETER CATHOLIC CHURCH, 5001 N. Sherman Ave., with Msgr. Charles Schluter presiding. Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until the time of Mass at the church on Saturday.

I used to run 3-5 miles every day and then do 275-300 push-ups all before work. April 21st 2006 I got hit by a drunk driver which limited what I can physically do. At 47 years old,I had to give up hockey (because I couldn't stand another head or spine injury). I still walk daily and do exercises with thera-bands (giant rubber bands).The push-ups are out because my shoulder took most of the impact and needs further surgery...it didn't stop me from hunting turkeys though!
I can't get around as well as I used to. Staying in shape makes it easier for me to do what I can. If I had not been as fit as I was, coming back might have been more difficult than it was.

The front nine are close fitting, with rolling, heavily treed terrain, which drops several hundred feet before three uphill holes bring you back to the pro shop. The back nine, set on a shelf among the hills, is more open and forgiving, but precise shot making is still rewarded, especially on the 17th hole, where the green is nested among trees, sand, and water.
Well-groomed, graced with mature oaks and hemlocks and stitched with stone walls, The Garrison golf course is unmistakably in the spirit of the region.

Hardly any mode of transport exerts such an enduring fascination as the ocean-going sailing yacht. Sailing means freedom, dynamism, enjoying life, being at one with nature, with the heaving sea. Ever since storytelling began, myths and legends have grown up surrounding sailing and the sea, and most have an adventurous flavour. And navigation, in turn, is the soul of sailing.
Patrice Quesnel loves the ocean. But if there is one thing the 64-year-old skipper loves even more, it is boats. He has been going to sea for 40 years. He is a four-time member of the French America's Cup crew. He was commander of the famous two-master, the Antarctica, the world's largest lifting keel yacht. Now he sails the seven seas on behalf of the Cousteau Foundation in France, as captain of the world's only turbosail ship, the Alcyone. He is also in charge of the restoration of the Calypso, the ship that made history as the research vessel of that legendary pioneer of the seas, Jacques-Yves Cousteau. If the late oceanographer's widow has her wish, the Calypso should soon be off on voyages around the world again, as an ambassador for the seas and oceans. IWC is sponsoring this project.
Talking of voyages: in some years Quesnel spends more time afloat than on land. Even then, he never gets bored. "I can look at the water for two hours without losing interest in what I see. Sometimes dolphins skip across our path. Or I may study the sky, and the colour of the sea." No matter what his last trip was, he always takes the best memories home with him. "Ultimately, I am a person who lives for the moment."
When Patrice Quesnel came down to Monte Carlo at the invitation of IWC Schaffhausen, he instantly realized that the seagoing yacht waiting for him in the harbour far outshone all the other luxury boats gently swaying near it on the limpid water. This is a sloop in a class of its own, with sleek, slender lines, polished to a gleaming finish, and fitted with unique custom equipment. Normally imperturbable, the sailor recollects: "I was totally speechless. Despite all the nautical miles I have notched up, I had never set sail in a luxury sports yacht of such perfect dynamics, so simple and yet so beautiful."
As a skipper with the Cousteau Foundation, Patrice Quesnel knows the sea and ships like the back of his hand
She is the Moonbird, designed by Dubois Naval Architects. The British yacht designers have ranked among the world's finest and most innovative for more than three decades. Their vessels satisfy the most demanding marine specifications. Success has always been the prime motivator for Dubois Naval Architects. "Our aim is to build yachts which fulfil their task perfectly," is how company founder Ed Dubois summarizes the firm's mission.
The ocean-going yacht Moonbird was built in New Zealand by the renowned superyacht construction company Fitzroy Yachts. The vessel set new standards in both form and function. 37.1 metres long, 8.38 metres wide, with a draught of 3.99 metres, the Moonbird accommodates up to eight passengers and boasts three luxurious cabins.
Patrice Quesnel is an experienced skipper. While sailing the world's seas, he has been out of sight of land for as long as 42 days. On one North Atlantic expedition, he was hit by two cyclones in quick succession. When he took the Moonbird out on a six-day trial run off the Côte d'Azur, something happened to him which he would not have thought possible (at his time of life): a totally new navigation experience. "We were incredibly lucky," he relates. "The weather kept changing, giving us constantly changing prevailing conditions: sunshine, calm, but also strong gale-force winds of up to 80 kilometres per hour." What impressed the skipper most, on this highly varied sailing trip, was how easy the boat was to control, despite the very wide range of conditions.
Anyone at the helm of a sailing yacht faces the challenge of maintaining the optimum sheeting angle while compensating for heeling. But the Moonbird more or less sails herself. "I just had to press a couple of buttons, and the desired sail manoeuvres were carried out automatically. For an old sea dog like me, there was something dreamlike about all this," reports Quesnel. For him, another dreamlike quality was the perfect sailing that was possible on the automatic setting. There was no sharp heeling, even sailing close to the wind.
As a rule, every seagoing vessel needs a complement of sailing skill and specialist nautical knowledge on board to stay on course at sea and anticipate and overcome the dangers. "Navigation as I know it," notes Quesnel, "is sheer, hard graft." Technical instrumentation, proven to function reliably beyond a shadow of doubt, guarantees the utmost safety on board the Moonbird – in every situation. "The comprehensive system monitoring gives me all the important data I need as skipper: details of the various manoeuvres, electronic charts and information on the current weather situation."
Despite all the high-tech instruments, a sextant still travels on board the ocean-going sailing yacht. Not only has this been the most important navigation instrument for generations of seafarers; it is also a legal requirement to this day. In the rare case of an electronic failure, the sextant is indispensable as a time-honoured method of finding a safe haven.
In fact, the new technical gadgetry on the Moonbird makes sailing trips possible that would have been completely unthinkable just a few short years ago. "In the past, anyone striking out to sea in a sailing yacht of this size would rely on having plenty of manpower and an experienced crew on board. Now, with all this new technology and a seasoned six-man crew – who do a splendid job, incidentally – the Moonbird is the perfect vessel for cruises with family and friends," claims the French skipper.
At home both on hi-tech yachts and expedition ships, this captain will never forget his brief days on board the Moonbird. "The trip was sheer relaxation – a wonderful experience." The navigation expert is equally thrilled at the luxury sailing yacht's external appearance. "Ropes and lines are mostly hidden on the Moonbird. The view forward from the helm is unobstructed. Even the winches respond to a simple push of a button."
The much-travelled captain is able to give a succinct explanation why, throughout his long seafaring career, he has never had a specific favourite ship, and never will have. "I love all ships, because each has its own character. A ship is like a friend. Sometimes a 'he', sometimes a 'she'."
So how would he sum up the qualities of the craft after his six-day sailing cruise on the Moonbird? The skipper reflects for a while, gazing at the picture of the Moonbird gliding majestically over the sea, amid white spray and with her sails perfectly trimmed. Then he gives his considered opinion. "The Moonbird is a vessel that radiates an irresistible charm, with an absolutely gorgeous silhouette. Just look at this photo. You can also trust her. She guarantees safety – you can rely on her at all times. And that is far and away the most important quality any vessel can have on the high seas."
Patrice Quesnel will be skippering his next expedition to the Mediterranean region aboard the Alcyone. A genuine sea dog, as he points out, is always happy to leave land and put out to sea. By the same token, he is always relieved when he guides his ship safely into harbour. "We might feel better at sea, but we need our families too."

It is widely believed that the brain is biologically affected and altered by stress, but it is very difficult to "see into the brain" to identify the processes and pinpoint the effects. In new research at Johns Hopkins University, a team of scientists led by 2009 NARSAD Young Investigator Grantee Richard S. Lee, Ph.D., found that in an animal model of stress, changes to DNA detected in blood samples were mirrored in brain tissue. The finding, proving a long-held but previously unconfirmed concept, could significantly aid in identification and treatment of mental illnesses.
To study this, the researchers treated mice with different doses of cortisol, the primary stress hormone, over a four-week period. They took blood samples weekly to measure genetic alterations and then dissected the brains at the end of the month to see if the genetic alterations were also found in the brain tissue. They were looking in particular at changes to a gene called FKBP5 that has been implicated in depression, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. They report, in a paper reported online in advance of June publication in Psychoneuroendocrinology, that epigenetic changes—lasting alterations in how a gene is expressed and functions without an alteration to the underlying DNA sequence—detectable in the blood mirrored alterations in brain tissue linked to underlying psychiatric diseases.
"Many human studies rely on the assumption that disease-relevant epigenetic changes that occur in the brain—which is largely inaccessible and difficult to test—also occur in the blood, which is easily accessible," said Dr. Lee, an instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. "This research on mice suggests that the blood can legitimately tell us what is going on in the brain, which is something we were just assuming before, and could lead us to better detection and treatment of mental disorders and a more empirical way to test whether medications are working."

A months-long, international inquiry by The Globe's Geoffrey York and contributor Judi Rever has uncovered explosive testimonies from those who say they were recruited for assassinations – including an alleged recording of one job offer.
