Before the age of 50, Maggie Anton (born Margaret Antonofsky in Los Angeles, where she still lives) was perfectly content working as a chemist and never imagined herself a writer. But after finding herself in a women's Talmud class taught by feminist theologian Rachel Adler in L.A., she was hooked.
Maggie knew little about the Jewish religion until David Parkhurst, who was to become her husband, entered her life, and they both discovered Judaism as adults. That was the start of a devotion to Jewish education, synagogue involvement and ritual observance. In 1997, as her children Emily and Ari left the house and her mother was declining with Alzheimer's Disease, Anton began considering a career change. In 2006, she finally retired after more than 30 years as a clinical chemist in Kaiser Permanente's Biochemical Genetics Laboratory to become a full-time writer.
Fast forward to the present where Anton is now the award-wining author of the historical fiction series, "Rashi's Daughters." Anton will be in our area to discuss her new book, "Rav Hisda's Daughter Book I Apprentice: A Novel of Love, The Talmud and Sorcery," on Tuesday, April 30, 7:30 p.m., at the Germantown Jewish Centre, 400 W. Ellet St. (at Lincoln Drive) in West Mt. Airy; on May 1, 7:30 p.m., at Melrose Bnai Israel in Elkins Park; and May 2, noon, at Reconstructionist Rabbinic College in Wyncote.
"In the days I began my studies, there was no place women could go to study the Talmud. It was essentially a closed book to women, so I think my original plan in signing up for the class was to find out why women were forbidden to study it," Anton, 63, explained. "But to my amazement, I soon fell in love with the Talmud, and it became my passion."
And so began her first series of books, "Rashi's Daughters: Life, Love and Talmud in Medieval France," books about Rashi, a legendary Talmudic scholar who had three daughters and no sons. "And the more I studied Talmud from a feminist perspective, the more curious I became about Rashi's learned daughters and how they managed to study Talmud in the Middle Ages when such study was supposedly forbidden. That research ultimately led to my current work." (Rashi, nee Shlomo Itzhaki, was born in 1040 and died in 1104.)
"Rav Hisda's Daughter" shows that although life and society have changed dramatically since the early centuries Anton recreates in her books, modern women still face some of the same challenges and uphill battles trying to reconcile religious traditions and faith with their desire for independence and love. Concentrating on the character of Hisdadukh, Rav Hisda's beautiful and learned daughter, who is precluded from Torah studies because of her gender, she embarks on the torturous path to become a "charasheta," or enchantress.
"While researching the book, I soon learned that magic was pervasive throughout the Roman Empire," Anton said. "There was ordinary pottery with inscriptions inside whose purpose was to protect the people under whose home the vessels were buried." ("Rav Hisda's Daughter," which takes place in 3rd-century Babylonia as the Talmud was being created, was selected for the 2012 National Jewish Book Award for Fiction and Library Journal's choice for Best 2012 Historical Fiction.)
The chemist-turned-author also leaned that the Talmud contained discussions of spells, amulets, demons, the Evil Eye and other occult subjects. "Magic was clearly an integral part of life in this world, and some of the rabbis, including Rav Hisda, performed what we would call acts of magic themselves. But rabbinic sages agreed that sorcery was mostly the province of women who were able to practice freely."
Anton said all this came as a surprise to her in that she had not even intended there would be any magic or sorcery in her book other than a passing reference. "But unlike other supernatural novels like 'Harry Potter,' 'Witches of Eastwick' and the 'Twilight' series, where the magic in those stories is clearly fictional, the product of the novelist's imagination, I use actual, historical spells and procedures from incantation bowls, magical instruction manuals and the Talmud."
Another surprise that came Anton's way was her realization that others were drawn to her books. "I discovered there was definitely an audience for my books, including Jewish women, Jewish men and even non-Jews. During the talks that I give, including a Q-and-A, there's a curiosity about how I got involved in writing, which I try to minimize.
"I try instead to focus on the book and to explain that what they are reading is real. The lives of the women I talk about are documented in the Talmud. Indeed, these are real people with real personalities, and I hope that when people read the Talmud through the lens I created, everything will come alive."

The Met Ball is considered fashions most extravagant night and was held this past week at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The night is spent celebrating film, music, TV and of course fashion. Musicians, celebrities, models, actors and actresses all come together for this one night to show off their best fashion. Here are our picks for the best dressed at this year's Met Ball and how you can dress your best in your luxury swimwear.
Emma Stone looked impeccable wearing a two piece light pink crop top and a high waisted fuchsia colored skirt. The high slit on the skirt gives Emma a sexy, yet still classy look. The pink color choice is perfect for Emma's skin tone. The actress finished off the look with an elegant side braid. This feminine color looks so good on Emma, we think she would look great wearing it in her designer swimwear. The Guilty Pleasure bikini has the same fun color Emma wore to the Met Ball and has an edgy gold chain on the hip.
Rihanna is never afraid to show off a little skin, and that's exactly what she did at the Met Ball. She wore an all white long sleeved crop top that showed off her killer abs with a matching white draped skirt. We love the embellishments on the neckline of Rihanna's top. We know Rihanna would look stunning rocking this all white look in her swimwear, and that's why we picked the Red Hot bikini in white for our favorite bad girl. The all white bikinis classic color is complimented with the rhinestone hardware pieces on the neckline and side hip ties.
Our favorite gossip girl defiantly dazzled when she showed off her curves in body hugging blush colored gown. Blake Lively looks beyond gorgeous in this gown and we think she can carry over this elegant look in her swimwear by wearing Rich Girl in white. The white color of this bikini and gold hardware of this bikini will match Blake's elegant and sexy style.

Beginner's Guide to Face-fixing
UPDATE (11/26/11): you can now use sloth86's MonkeyFix tool in conjunction with the replaced *.fce.ema to get fixed faces all the time, even through the cinematics.

i still have problems. i follow the guide but i still get a monkey face when trying to use ryu as akuma and gouken.
- February 24, 2011 at 8:58 PM
- Hunter K. said...
To use Ryu's model with Akuma's moves, you would need to take RYU.fce.ema and inject it into Akuma's cmn file using the procedure in the post. Is that what you did?
- February 25, 2011 at 6:40 AM
yes that is correct unless im doing something wrong.
- February 25, 2011 at 11:20 AM
Thanks, I try this out. But it seems complicated. Prehpas you could write a simple program that do this faster?
- March 21, 2011 at 7:44 AM
- Hunter K. said...
If I could program worth a damn, I'd be happy to :)
Really, it's a lot of steps, but the process itself isn't particularly difficult. Let me know if you run into problems and I'll try to help.
- March 21, 2011 at 7:48 AM
First, is it possible to have the alt skin for an otehr character?
I guess I first need to make so the alt replace the original, but how?
- March 24, 2011 at 6:00 PM
- Hunter K. said...
yeah, you can totally do that. Just like in the instructions from the post where I changed CNL to SGT, you can change the numbers from ***_02 to ***_01. You'll need to do it for the cos file and the corresponding col files.
- March 24, 2011 at 9:27 PM
Without any HEX editing? I did without HEX edit, and the game crashed.
- March 25, 2011 at 8:06 AM
- Hunter K. said...
No, you have to change the numbers at the end of the file in hex, as per the instructions in the post. Sorry for the confusion.

man i wish i could get this to work with ryu and akuma i would love to make a evil ryu.

Alright guys, I don't normally do this sort of thing ('teach a man to fish' and all that), but here's Akuma's cmn with Ryu's fixed face:
or, Ryu with Akuma's moves (causes some vfx stupidity):
Be sure to post your results on the SRK thread :D
- March 30, 2011 at 2:55 PM
In the end of both CNL_02.cos.emz and CNL_02_01.col.emz, there is no number to change. Let me get this right, you are talking about these files:
Becuse in these, there are nothing.
Please help.
- April 5, 2011 at 3:12 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Yep. If you're not seeing any numbers at the end (and the rest of the file is gibberish with NO human-readable text) then you probably haven't decompressed them yet, so open them once in the Asset Explorer and you should be all set.
- April 5, 2011 at 3:53 PM
"Now, select everything between that last #EMA (at the location we wrote down) and the beginning of #BAC"
I am confused, does that mean INCLUDING copy #BAC, or do I stop when I am in front of the "#" character?
- April 6, 2011 at 3:35 PM
never mind my post above(it was including). I got it to working.
it still get monkey face when ultra is preformed. Which makes this not so useful :(
- April 6, 2011 at 3:57 PM
First and foremost Hunter K thank you for the guide. Gameplay is monkeyface free. However, during "Cinematics" (character intro and win pose) I still get monkeyface. is there anyway to fix this?
- May 27, 2011 at 1:07 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Hey StickyJ,
Yeah, that's normal. This only fixes the face during normal play and not during the cinematics (I just updated the guide to reflect that fact, as this question has come up before). It's possible to fix it the rest of the way, but you have to trial-and-error your way through it, which sucks: open the fce.ema in your hex editor and delete (replace with 00s) anything referring to parts that are messed up. For example, say your character's bottom lip is floating around somewhere crazy, you just go in and zero out all of the references to, for example, Face_LMouthBottom1. Rinse/repeat for each funky feature. However, I suspect that this will create some problems with facial features other times (such as during regular parts of the fight) being "stuck" in the default positions, even when they shouldn't be, since you're essentially breaking the link between any movements and that facial feature.
- May 27, 2011 at 1:16 PM
Hmmm. Well I was using the method you pointed out prior to employing this new mod. I pretty much had to delete all of a character's face properties to prevent distortion. My last question to you is do you think it's possible to dig farther into the cmz files and find the values for the specific cinematic scenes? If you think so, I certainly wouldn't mind digging myself. If worse comes to worse I'm pleased to cut my losses here. Thanks again.
- May 27, 2011 at 7:28 PM
Hunter, YOU ARE MY HERO!
Seriously - thank you - for sharing ALL this stuff !
greetings from Austria :)

Thanks fipsfoxy! Glad I could help.

It cant find #BAC , is this because im using Super street fighter 4 ?
- November 4, 2012 at 11:04 AM
- Hunter K. said...
@Tiger Bengalski
Yep, that's right. They're stored elsewhere now. Really, all you need to do in SSF4AE is copy/rename a character's model, textures and face animations and overwrite the ones in the character folder whose moveset you want to use.
- November 4, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Hey Hunk...
I get a file with compressed extension every time I drag a cmn.emz file into the extractor window. I'm using the piecemonteeSF4explorerV0.37b. Is this the right version ? How can I decompress .emz files.
- March 2, 2013 at 5:51 PM
Hey Hunk...
I just figured it out but I did it my way and never got any monkey face during the game.
I dunno what u meant by decompressing and all. got me confused for hours. I did it my way and it's working like a charm.
All I did was replace the .bac (change the name inside to doner's with hex editor) _ .bcm_ .cam.ema _and obj.ema of receiver with doner's and pack em all with Kensous (don't forget reordering like you exlained)and there u go. As simple as that. As delicious as that...
- March 3, 2013 at 6:48 PM
by the way you don't even need to go all the hard way to extract the .cam.ema using hex editor ... I mean it's not a must. this file belongs to the the correct camera change for your special moves. If you don't have it you can't have the correct camera for ur special moves (and it might flicker) but u won't get any error...
- March 3, 2013 at 6:57 PM
- Hunter K. said...
Hi Saman,
Just opening the files in the Asset Explorer decompresses them. The *.compressed file is a backup that it creates automatically.
I'm glad you got it all going :)

Back in Dallas
Jason Garrett… name sounds familiar. Oh yeah, he was Troy Aikman's back up QB in the 90s. Those were some great years! Even though Garrett didn't get to play very often, he was still there taking it all in. And now after a day long meeting at the Ranch with Jerry and Stephen Jones and Bill Parcells, Garrett has been offered the job as Offensive Coordinator. Not only that but he is now one of the top candidates for the Head Coach Opening. What? This guy wasn't even on anyone's list as a probable contender. Well, since when does that matter?
Wade Phillips seems to be a very likely possibility. The Dallas Cowboys requested and were granted permission from the Chargers to talk to Phillips. During an interview the native Texan told reporters:
"I'm really happy where I am. I can't say enough about the (Chargers') organization and the players and the fans. But I have family and a home there. Us Texans, even though we haven't been there in 20 years, it's always home and the Cowboys are our home team."
That sounds pretty promising to me. Considering the way the 06 Chargers season went, I think I'd be happy with that. Phillips has been head coach of 4 NFL teams: Saints, Falcons, Bills and Broncos. He has the experience and has been very successful most recently as the defensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers who were 14-2 this past season.
I believe Phillips and Garrett would make an awesome pair. However there are still other names and possibilities that have been tossed around and no decision has been confirmed yet. So back to the waiting game. I feel confident whatever the decision, that 2007 will be a very successful year for the Dallas Cowboys. A new leader… a new year… a new outlook.

Timed Divs HTML
This page specifies a subclass of HTML documents that is a time-aligned text format for audio-visual content. We call the format "timed divs within HTML" or TDHT. It is intended to be used only in a World Wide Web context i.e. everywhere that Web browser functionality is available. Use cases for the format are subtitles, captions, annotations and other time aligned text as listed at http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggText#Categories_of_Text_Codecs .
TDHT may be similar to W3C TimedText DFXP in many respects, but in comparison to DFXP it does not re-invent HTML, CSS and effects, but rather uses existing HTML, CSS and javascript for these. The purpose of DFXP is to create a web-independent exchange format for timed text, which is why it cannot directly be specified as a subpart of HTML.
TDHT in contrast is HTML with a minimum number of changes. TDHT is parsable by any HTML parser. It works with CSS and javascript. No new functionality has to be defined for TDHT.
File Extension
Files in this format are to be of text/x-tdht mime type.
Files in this format should have a file extension of .tdht .
The TDHT format changes from HTML
TDHT files are time-aligned text. This means there is a time association with blocks of text and there is time-based seeking functionality on those blocks of text.
Here is an example TDHT file for subtitles:
  <title>Desperate Housewives - Season 5, Episode 6</title>

Previously on...

We had an agreement to keep things casual.

Susan made her feelings clear.

So if I was with another woman, that wouldn't bother you? No, it wouldn't.

Right now, TDHT is based on HTML4.01, but it should also be possible to work on HTML5, which is still in flux.
The following changes to HTML4.01 are made for TDHT:
1. The body element
In HTML4.01, the body element is defined as follows:
<!ELEMENT BODY O O (%block;|SCRIPT)+ +(INS|DEL) -- document body --> <!ATTLIST BODY %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- onload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been loaded -- onunload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been removed -- >
In TDHT1.0 we restrict it to just contain a sequence of div tags:
<!ELEMENT BODY O O (DIV)+ -- document body --> <!ATTLIST BODY %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- onload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been loaded -- onunload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been removed -- >
The div tags in turn can contain anything that HTML div tags can contain, thus enabling a very flexible, but time-aligned text model.
2. The div element
In HTML4.01, the div element is defined as follows:
<!ELEMENT DIV - - (%flow;)* -- generic language/style container --> <!ATTLIST DIV %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- >
In TDHT1.0 we extend it with start and end time attributes:
<!ELEMENT DIV - - (%flow;)* -- generic language/style container --> <!ATTLIST DIV %attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events -- start %Time; #IMPLIED -- start time end %Time; #IMPLIED -- end time >
The Time entity is defined in HTML5: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#valid-time-string .
Rendering in a Web Browser
A TDHT file is meant to be associated with a audio or video file and rendered in a Web browser in sync with the audio or video file.
The TDHT file's div elements are not rendered into an existing HTML page, but rather a TDHT file creates its own iframe-like new nested browsing context. This is because a TDHT file can come from a different URI than the Web page and thus for security reasons and for general base URI computations a nested browsing context is the better approach with the DOM nodes of the hosting page and the DOM nodes of the text track in different owner documents.
The rendering and CSS view port are either by default the rectangle occupied by the given <video> or <audio> tag, or an area provided for by the hosting HTML page. The zoom factor of the iframe must be set to such a value that the width of the view port established by the iframe is equally wide in CSS px as the video frame is wide in codec pixels. (Example: If the video encodes a frame that is 240 pixels wide but is displayed at 480 CSS px wide, the zoom factor of the iframe should be 200% so that the box that on the outsize measures 480 px seems like a box of 240 px from within the iframe.)
When the browser happens upon a TDHT file, it must create a document by calling createDocument() on DOMImplementation and then calling open() on the created document. The browser must insert a  element in the HTML namespace as the root element of the document and insert  and  elements in the HTML namespace into the root element.
A TDHT file can either be received by a HTML parser in one go (as a TDHT file) or a div-less TDHT file can be received together with its  tag and create a HTML shell into which the
 elements can be added as they come (e.g. from a video file that is decoded and played back in parallel) by using a HTML fragment parser.
The  tag must decode into a DOMString (using REPLACEMENT CHARACTER on errors) and set the TDHT DOM property of the  element to the DOMString.
As the browser plays the video, it must render the TDHT
 tags in sync. As the start time of a
 tag is reached, the
 tag appears, and it is removed as the
 tag's end time is reached. If no start time is given, the start is assumed to be 0, and if no end time is given, end is assumed to be infinity.
As the browser has parsed the TDHT file or its consitutent
 tags, it is expected to keep the structure in memory. When seeking happens on the video, it can then decide upon which
 tags are supposed to be active at the seek time and display these.
Encapsulation into Ogg
The OggText specification is used to encapsulate a TDHT file into Ogg.
The codec-specific header data for the OggText ident header is the .. part of the TDHT file. The complete  tag including all its subtags is encoded into the ident header unchanged.
The
 tags are the data packets of the TDHT text codec and are thus encapsulated into the data packets as text codec data. A complete
 including all its subtags is encoded into one data packet each.

Did you know that even if you have a penis that you can still wear a strap-on harness? Yes, manufacturers make strap-on harnesses for the male-bodied as well as the female-bodied. While males can definitely wear strap-on harnesses designed for women, some find that the pressure it places on the penis and testicles to be uncomfortable. Strap-on harnesses for male bodies are designed with a penis in mind, providing much better comfort.
Strap-ons for people who have a penis can be used for a variety of play times. Some people like to use them as an alternative to penetrative sex (or in kinky contexts, as a "punishment" where the wearer doesn't get to be directly involved in stimulation). Other people like to strap them on to continue the penetrative action after the penis has gotten soft (due to orgasm or other reasons). Yet others like to explore the idea of double penetration.

WEATHER: Would you believe "humid"?
WHERE TO: Nope.
MOOD: Irritable.
People are always asking me how I stay so healthy, given that I'm usually tempted to snarf down a few cans of frosting after particularly taxing workouts. I usually respond by pointing and saying, "Hey, what's that????" and while these questioners are distracted, I fly away on a purple velociraptor to CandyLand, because these people who ask me these things are not real, but are instead made-up so that I have an excuse to write my latest post. In said post, dear readers, I give you information for which you did not even ask, because I'm magnanimous, biznitches.
So. How do I stay healthy? READ ON, hot stuff!
A compendium of favorite recipes to make you energetic, happy, healthy, and only a little gassy.
Good-Morning Melange — A delicious way to start your running day.
1 banana
2 T. peanut butter
Peanut Butter Puffins, to taste
1/4 c. Pepto Bismol
1 quart water
1. Wake up at 5:30 AM.
2. Slice banana into bowl.
3. Add peanut butter, sprinkle with Puffins.
4. Gently fold together and eat, alternating with vigorous swigs of Pepto, only occasionally sloshng it into your hair.
5. Chug water, drop to knees, vow to never ever ever drink a beverage called the "Slippery Hoo-hah" ever again, let alone five of them, you twit.
6. Run.
Mile-Nineteen Special — An excellent mid-run or mid-race energizing snack, for those days when you don't have a nifty little gel to suckle.
1 cup honey
1 cup sugar
1 jar natural peanut butter
Other trail-mix-y type things, like raisins, sunflower seeds, pencil-sharpening shavings, nail clippings, chocolate chips
A whole bunch of cereal
1/2 c. boob sweat
Exactly zero running gels
Note: Must be prepared prior to run.
1. Realize you have no gels for tomorrow's run.
2. Boil honey and sugar for 2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and combine all ingredients.
4. Oh come ON, I didn't mean add the goddamn Baggie, OR the boob sweat for that matter. Bonehead.
5. Press mixture into 9″ x 13″ pan. Allow to cool and firm overnight.
6. Cut bar, put into baggie, stow in sports bra.
7. At mile 19, by the water fountain by the national zoo, pull baggie from between boobs. Shake off boob sweat, open baggie, chow down while monopolizing water fountain and grossing out happy well-meaning tourists.
8. Shake out legs while stoned kids on nearby sunny meadow hill say, "Dude, she just pulled food out of her BOOBS." (This actually happened.)
Saturday-Morning SuperProteinRecoveryFest — Get your protein post-run AND bond with your housemates!
1 block tofu
1/4 c. spicy mustard
1 wastebasket
1. Come home from long run, take shower (see Post-Race Delight).
2. Open tofu, cut into uniform 1″ x 1″ cubes.
3. Arrange on plate, put large dollop of mustard on edge.
4. Dip tofu cubes in mustard and consume heartily while watching reruns of "Designing Women."
5. Have following exchange with roommate:
"What is that?"
"<mouth full> Tofu!"
"…and…my God…mustard?"
"Mm-hm! <snarf snarf snarf>"
6. Hand wastebasket to roommate, now retching heavily. Feel the delicious muscle-recovery goodness wash over your body. Ohhhhhhhhh girl.
Mile-Twenty-Eight Special — You're more than halfway through that ultra. You can do it.
1 Twizzler
1 cup neon blue Powerade
Mark Wahlberg
1. Shake head out of delirious haze long enough to snatch Twizzler and Powerade from spectators.
2. Bite off both ends of Twizzler. Things are neither looking nor feeling too good. The wheels are coming off, my friend.
3. Accept congratulations from Mark Wahlberg, running next to you for a while now, on the awesome race you're running.
4. Use Twizzler as a straw to suck up the sweet, sweet Powerade.
5. Reflect on the beauty of life.
Mile-Thirty-Five Surprise — For those times on the course when you're feeling "not-so-fresh."
Orange wedges (several dozen)
Running singlet
1. Snatch orange wedges from race volunteers, remove shirt, use it as a crude basket in which to carry as many orange wedges as you can grab.
2. Suck the sweet juice out of the oranges, riiiiight down to the nasty rind, then throw the suckers at Mark Wahlberg's face, because he has gotten mean in the last few miles.
3. That purple raptor of his is looking testy as well. Give it a roundhouse to the jaw while you're at it.
4. Suck down more orange goodness. You need your strength, Spartacus.
Mile-45 Desperation Cocktail — For when you should know better, yes, but you're a badass, dammit.
2 cups sweat, squeezed from ponytail
1 leftover Powerade Dixie cup
1 saline IV
1. Now you've done it. You are 3 miles from an aid station in either direction and you can FEEL the moisture draining from your body. Even your eyeballs feel dry. Even your toenail-beds feel parched.
2. Lose will to go on…with racing, with life. Drop to knees in the middle of the trail, raise fists and wail, Baz-Luhrmann-movie-style: "ULTRAMARATHONNNNN!"
3. A dramatic thunderstorm begins.
4. Just kidding. There's no water out here. But you do have that cup and all that sweat in your hair…
<let's skip ahead a bit>
7. Wake up in med tent with foul, salty taste in mouth. Sit up stock-straight, point and yell, "What's that?" As race med volunteer turns, remove IV from wrist, remove needle, suck as much as you can from tube before scampering away because YOU ARE A CHAMPION OH MY GOD THIS IS GREAT AND YOU DON'T AT ALL WANT TO DIE BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA.
Post-Race Delight
2 cans Diet Coke (12 oz.), very well chilled
1 little complimentary bar of hotel soap
1 hotel shower
1. Go back to hotel post-race, remove clothing, get into shower as usual.
2. Wash body.
3. When soap hits chafed areas, squeeze eyes shut as the throbbing pain travels in big slamming waves through your body. Chase pain with a slug of Diet Coke.
4. Drink another DC, while you're at it. You deserve it. You beat that raptor by like at least 3 hours.
5. (Optional) Perform rest of shower as usual, i.e. while singing Reba McEntire's greatest hits.

Anne Giedinghagen wanted desperately to stay in school. Having struggled with depression and anorexia since the sixth grade, the rail-thin Cornell junior was meeting regularly with a therapist at the university's counseling center in Ithaca, N.Y. But late last fall, when she told her therapist about her increasingly strong urge to kill herself, Giedinghagen received an ultimatum from the school she loved so much: she had to get better or she would have to leave. So she did what any crafty 20-year-old would do. She tried to carve out a third option--feigning improvement by, as she put it, acting "as normal...

Top 10 Twitter Tips for Law Firms
Below are some of the top 10 twitter tips for law firms and solicitors looking to get the most from twitter.
For a comprehensive list of the top 50 reasons why law firms and lawyers should be on twitter, see my good friend Michelle Hynes-McIlroy's blawg. For more detailed tips, of which there are many, I would strongly encourage you to look at Brian Inkster's The Time Blawg's post on the Law Firm Twitteratigate and comments therein.
But, for the firms and lawyers starting out or looking to improve their social media presence and capabilities to expand their professional network and develop more business, these should be an ideal starting point which should hopefully foster a love-love relationship with the social media world:-
1. Create at least two twitter accounts, one with firm's name and one with targeted keywords and/or under your own name as a lawyer #twittertip
2. Edit settings to include a branded logo and background #twittertip
3. Follow and follow-back relevant twitter accounts, perhaps assisted by #twittertip
4. Contribute more than you promote yourself or your firm #twittertip
5. Create lists on twitter accounts using targeted keywords as headings #twittertip
6. Engage with your connections by monitoring your lists or saved searches for relevant keywords #twittertip
7. Embed your firm's main twitter feed onto your firm's website #twittertip
8. Use the #ff hashtag on Fridays to recommend your favourite people on twitter #twittertip
9. Follow people who have been recommended by your connections #twittertip
10. Last, but certainly not least, connect as much as possible by commenting and retweeting but don't just rely on an RSS feed from your firm's website and don't spam eg via mentions or DMs #twittertip

How social media is transforming business and life
Social Media Statistics
To what extent is social media dominating the Internet and changing the face of business? Watch this video to discover out the figures:-
Twitter and the Law – Legal Issues For Twitter Video Marketing
Considering using Twitter for your law firm? What are the legal issues? http://www.reelseo.com/ interview a US IP attorney, Evan Brown for some general advice, including the answer to this fundamental question:-
03:27 I'd like to ask you, as an internet lawyer, what would you consider to be the most important legal issues today with using twitter for business purposes?
Evan 03:58 The same issues that you would have with anybody using twitter…It's very easy to put up content on twitter; there's very little preparation that needs to go into what you're going to say. So, I think the over-arching issue for companies, is to remember how using twitter can affect the brand. That's kind of a general notion that we can certainly unpack and break that down a little bit. But not only does a company need to be aware of what a company is saying about it's own brand, it's own goods, or services, or products, or what have you, to people in the marketplace, who may follow that company on twitter; but it also needs to be careful, the company needs to be careful about what it's saying about other companies, other participants in the marketplace. So, you know, in this whole mixture of things that could possibly go wrong from a legal standpoint, I would say protecting the brand is probably the biggest single legal issue that could arise from twitter.
To summarise, protect your brand but don't defame anyone or pass yourself off as another business. More discussion in the video here:-
Twitter and the Law – Developing Legal Business Through Twitter
How should your law firm be utilising Twitter? Explanations from Michelle Hynes-McIlroy aka LegalEagleMHM as interviewed by Stephen Moore of Moore Legal Technology and CaseCheck. See especially from 6:50 onwards. Michelle notes that she has adapted her use of Twitter over the course of 2010, so follow @LegalEagleMHM for an update in due course.

Benefits of Eating Vegetarian
- Aids in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, renal disease and dementia, as well as diverticular disease, gallstones and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Longer life span - On average, vegetarians live about 7 years longer than meat eaters and vegans live up to 15 years longer.
- High in antioxidants which protect our cells from damage by cancer causing free radicals, such as pollution and smoking.
- Helps reduce the signs and effects of aging.
- Better cholesterol levels
- Lower body weight
- Helps reduce the need for diabetes medications for those with type 2 diabetes
- Increased energy
- Reduced risk of food-borne illnesses
- Eases menopausal symptoms
- Bowel movements are regularized
Do you want to experience those benefits and more in your life or don't you? It's a simple matter really. My husband says it's a MOM thing. MOM meaning Mind Over Matter. I've had to make myself do what I did not want to do so many times because the benefits far outweighed the results of not doing what I had to do. What's stopping you?
Are family members ridiculing you? Are they more important than your health? I love my husband more than I can even express. He is the star of my life after Jesus but you know what? If I put my husband above my health then I will not be able to enjoy our love because of sickness or death resulting from my bad eating choices. How will you be able to enjoy your children if you are always running to the doctor from some sickness or the other that could be prevented? Come on. Forget about the ridicule, you're doing it for them (though they may not appreciate it). Or better yet, do it for yourself. You're the one who will feel good or NOT.
|Spaghetti and Veg Balls in Tomato Sauce
Let's talk about the boring now. If you've ever tasted good vegetarian cooking you will literally eat those words and kick yourself. Have you tried some of the recipes on this site, like the Spaghetti and Veg Balls in Tomato Sauce you see up there? Have you visited any vegetarian restaurants or ordered vegetarian fare when you eat out? No? Well, just stay there and imagine the blandness – it will get you nowhere. If you have done those things and still find that the food has no taste, then what are you going to do about it? You're the cook! Add the spices to make it taste your kind of good.
Get a vegetarian cookbook. Amazon has tons of them. Here are some downloadable ones for quick access. All less than $3.00
Vegetarian Recipes for Meat Eaters: Simply the Best Vegetarian Entrées and Main Course Meals with Easy Carnivore Variations, Volume One
Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipe Book: 30 Easy Set It & Forget It Meals
35 Vegetarian Casserole Recipes - The Vegetarian Casserole Cookbook (Vegetarian Cookbook and Vegetarian Recipes Collection)
Fresh & Fast Vegetarian: Recipes That Make a Meal
Meatless: More Than 200 of the Very Best Vegetarian Recipes
Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
Quick-Fix Vegetarian: Healthy Home-Cooked Meals in 30 Minutes or Less
There are really no excuses other than food allergies or an inability to eat that should keep you from doing what you want to do for your own health and wellness. Nobody is forcing you to eat vegetarian. You are the one who wants to but says it's boring. It's a cop out. Don't listen to the lies. Just do it!
If you liked this article and want to know when I post new articles and recipes, subscribe to the Fruitful Vine Newsletter.
If you have a question on vegetarian eating that you would like me to answer then fill in this short form to submit your question. I'll answer in an Ask Jenn video on Wednesdays.

Fibroblasts are the principal cells of connective tissue. Distributed widely throughout the body, connective tissue exhibits a relatively few number of cells and a relatively large amount of intercellular substance. The cells of the tissue consist of macrophages, adipose cells, mast cells, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and plasma cells, in addition to fibroblasts. The matrix secreted by the cells is comprised of the amorphous, hydrated material known as ground substance and fibers. Among the chief functions of connective tissue are imparting structural support and assisting in the protection of the body, as well as providing a site for fat storage.
In the digital image above, a Swiss mouse embryo fibroblast cell is presented that was resident in a culture labeled with the fluorophore Texas Red-X conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin, a fluorescent lectin that selectively binds to sialic acid residues. Wheat germ agglutinin conjugates are often used as probes for the Golgi network in mammalian cultures. The cells were also stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI, which target F-actin and DNA, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

After reading this awesome review (Diner Cod Pizza?!?), I had to try it for myself. After doing a trial run with some deviled eggs (made with soy sauce, tahini, white miso, mayonnaise, onion–yum!), I somehow convinced everyone in the lab into holding a Chef Watson-inspired lab dish-to-pass. I thought it would be a good idea because it combines our love of food with our love of artificial intelligence. And here are the results:
Maggie: Appetizer Rhubarb Tartlets
Made with polenta, rhubarb, orange juice, boursin, tamarind paste, shallots, basil. I actually really like this one, although it was a bit tart.
Ally: Grapefruit potato salad
Didn't get the complete recipe details, but, umm, it had grapefruit and potato. I actually thought it was not too bad, considering I'm not a huge grapefruit fan.
Andrew: Bean... thingy
Made with kidney beans, pecorino romano, salami, tahini, pepper sauce, capers, chicken, green chiles, onions, mint syrup. This one totally rocked! Consensus winner!
Paul: Crab soup
Hmm. Don't remember what all was in this, but there was some crab. And a bunch of other random stuff. This recipe was interesting. Very interesting. The crazy thing was how the flavors evolved in every bite. Started sort of like crab soup and ended with the taste of Indian food (to me). Did I mention interesting? It won the prize for most interesting.
"That was interesting!":
Sara: Banana Lime Macaroni and Cheese
Yep, that just about sums it up, ingredients-wise. This dish was fairly polarizing (sorry, didn't get a picture). I actually thought it was pretty good. Sara herself was somewhat less enthusiastic. Meanwhile, she was busy blowing bubbles for her son Jonah. Meanwhile, Jonah drank a bottle of bubble mixture.
Claire: Corn bread
All in all, this was really good, and relatively normal. Only "weird" thing was honey, which I thought added a nice sweetness, although Claire thought it was a bit much. This picture is great, as much for the food as for the highly sceptical look on Todd's face!
Lauren: Chips and Salsa
Non-Watson, hence less outlandish. But tasty!
Stefan: Sausages
Non-Watson, but homemade and delicious.
Me: Asian Sesame Oil Pasta Salad
Japanese noodles, tahini, mayo, thyme, sherry vinegar, peanut, green pepper, yellow pepper, broccoli, sweet onions, apple. Forgot to take a picture, but not bad. Perhaps a bit bland, but tasted good with some chili pepper oil.
Verdict: Overall, I think Chef Watson is great! It definitely suggests flavor combinations that you would likely never think of otherwise. I think one lesson was that you probably want to flip through a bunch of recipes until you come across one that sort of makes sense. The other lesson is that Watson isn't so great at getting proportions and cooking times right. You definitely have to use your own judgement or things could get ugly. Anyway, I for one welcome our robotic cooking overlords.
Update 7/11/2015: Some people strongly disagree with my sentiment that Chef Watson is great. I view it as glass half-full: Watson gives you interesting ingredients to use, but the first time you combine them you probably won't get the proportions right. But they are definitely combinations you would not have chosen otherwise. The glass half-empty version is that we already have tried and true recipes. Why mess with success? Well, I guess I'm just an optimist! Rhymes with futurist! :)

First, let me start by saying services like Alexa and Compete are awful. That said, it can be kind of fun to see your web sites rank go up and down. Unfortunately, a lot of people a lot of stock in Alexa and Compete rankings. People judge web sites by what their ranking is even though it lacks any type of scientific merit. Specifically, they do not work because it does not have access to the web sites web logs. Alexa and Compete are a lot like Cleo the astrologer from television commercials. By counting the few people who actually install their toolbar they use a mathematical algorithm to try and determine what type of traffic that web site gets. In addition they buy information from a number of other sources (these sources are not controlled and any nerd at any of these sources could tweak these data sources before they go out to places like Alexa and Compete for processing).
So by now you're asking why don't people launch a class action? Alexa, compete dot com, another web sites like them all have these clever little statements at the bottom of their page that say that they are not accurate. Just like the Cleo commercials that say for entertainment purposes only, these disclaimers are all that is necessary to protect them and allowed them to keep making money and acting like a experts. *Note they never really give you the source of where they are getting their data, or if they do it is vague. The reason why is it's garbage and they know it. The only accurate data (speaking as a network engineer) comes from the webservers that serve the pages. You need to count the connections that come into the website and pages served. You can at that point run a script to remove IP addresses of known spiders, spammers, etc… and then you will have an accurate accounting of traffic. I repeat, this is the only way to measure traffic going to a website accurately. Now… I'm not talking about 10 – 20% here like these companies will have you believe, to give you an idea Compete.com is so aweful they actually state that Reviewboard Magazine (Reviewboard.com) gets 7000-8000 unique visitors a month. They say their traffic estimates are +/- 10-30%. 30% puts us at 10k unique visitors a month. That would be slick if it were true, but we get about 150,000 unique visitors a month so they are off by a lot more than 10-30%. If they were painting cars they would be doing it in the dark with a broom and a mop bucket. The end result is hideous.
So how do you fight this? How do you tweak your Alexa ranking, to more accurately reflect your traffic?
There are several tricks you will want to employ to make this work. Now, I've talked about a website that is run by one of our interns. (Http://www.whethermen.com). It's a great website, and it gets about 2,000 page views a day. As of the posting of this article, they actually have a better ranking than Reviewboard.com even though we get about 75,000 page views a day at the moment. So how does this work?
Well Whethermen is run by about 10 college kids. They are also very aware of Alexa. They each have the Alexa toolbar installed and go to the website several times a day. They talk about it with their friends, who may also have the Alexa toolbar installed. This small amount of toolbar installations has had an incredible effect on their website rankings. So this is the first part of the tweak…
INSTALL ALEXA TOOLBAR ON EVERY COMPUTER YOU HAVE. Make sure the start page to your website is set for the site you are trying to tweak. While you are at it, if you would add a second start page (www.reviewboard.com) we would appreciate it! We will also benefit from it and that would be wonderful and a great way to thank us for sharing this information with you. To set a second start page all you have to do is put http://www.reviewboard.com on a seperate line in Internet Explorer. If you use Mozilla you set it up like this: http://www.yoursite.com|http://www.reviewboard.com it is seperated with a PIPE (Shift Backslash).
The next step would be to get as many friends or family members you have to do the same thing. REMEMBER just 5 – 10 toolbar installs and that small change can make a DRAMATIC difference on Alexa. HUGE.
The final step is get a DMOZ listing for your website. If you are listed in DMOZ you can go to DMOZ and click on your website. I don't know why, but that really does help with the Alexa ranking. I think they must buy some data from the DMOZ project or something (because they say they get their information from several sources).
Anyway those small changes will help you boost your rankings and get into the mid hundred thosuands. From there it is all about the toolbar installs and how many people you can get to put you in their start page with Alexa installed. Good luck and thanks for putting us in your start page list!

Training >> Browse Articles >> Patrol
10 Tips for Ride-Alongs
Dr. Richard Weinblatt
7) Confidentiality
Law enforcement officers see quite a bit of interesting stuff in their line of work. Even Hollywood can't make up what officers see in real-life. As a participant in a ride-along, you may see neighbors and other people from your community at their worst moment. Specifics and identifiers from the call are not for public consumption unless otherwise agreed upon. Some agencies may allow you to attend the pre-shift briefings. Again, information being discussed is not public in nature and you need to use discretion in discussing what you have seen and heard.
Notable exceptions pertain to the presence of credentialed media and news journalists who are approved for the ride-along with the full knowledge of their objective. Famous examples include the TV show "COPS."
On the local level, having a news crew onboard is a win-win situation. The department gets to showcase officers engaged in good policing and reach out to the community via the viewing audience. The TV station, in turn, gets captivating programming.
As a police chief, I approved local network affiliates' news cameras to ride-along with patrol personnel in marked Ford Crown Victorias. We thoroughly discussed the rules and boundaries beforehand and each time it proved to be a rewarding experience for everyone involved. These are folks who will reveal information publicly and have been approved to do so in advance by the nature of their mission.


text: William Seward (1801-1872) was a politician who served as governor of New York, as a U.S. senator and as secretary of state during the Civil War (1861-65). Seward spent his early career as a lawyer before winning a seat in the New York State Senate in 1830. An ardent abolitionist, Seward later served as New York's 12th governor and then as a member of the U.S. Senate, where he established himself as a leading antislavery activist. After failing in an 1860 bid for the Republican presidential nomination, Seward was appointed secretary of state in Abraham Lincoln's cabinet. He would eventually become one of Lincoln's closest advisers during the Civil War, helping to ensure that Europe did not recognize the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. Seward continued to serve as secretary of state under President Andrew Johnson and in 1867 negotiated the purchase of Alaska from the Russians. He died in 1872 at the age of 71.

I couldn't find the Baby Steps video from What About Bob, but here's another great scene from an underrated movie:
Baby Steps.
Seems life is all about baby steps. If you didn't watch "What About Bob", it's about making small changes in your life towards an eventual goal.
One of those steps for me is my diet and working out.
I wrote previously about starting Crossfit, and now I have finished seven weeks, starting around the beginning of March. I first was going twice a week, it was all my body could handle. I recently upped to three times a week.
I'm still learning. Every class. It's hard. One of the things that I didn't like about lifting & working out was that we all get into a routine. I passed by an Equinox this morning and watched the people on the elliptical machines sweating it up, but they were like little robots. Same motion. Just swing the legs. Sweat the calories. Not getting stronger, and maybe losing weight if they do it for a long enough time.
I honestly believe that we, as a society, are lazy. We are lazy because we want it easy. Take a pill to lose weight. Do the "baby food diet" to lose weight. People cry about not being able to give up things or sacrifice. People get fixated on the word "DIET" when really eating should be about Baby Steps.
I love sweets. You name it, I love it. Cookies, cupcakes, chocolate covered pretzels and donuts are my weaknesses. Oh, not to mention pasta, pizza, bread and alcohol (beer and wine!).
Funny thing is -- I still eat them. I have no plans for a six pack. But, I do want to be healthier. So my attitude is pretty simple: Be healthy when you can. Cheat when you want.
My work diet is the same diet that I posted before. I start my day with a smoothie. 3 hours later I eat a fresh mixed fruit cup now (cantaloupe, melon, pineapple, blackberry, strawberry, grapes) instead of eggs & oatmeal. 3 hours after that I order from Qdoba rice, beans and chicken in a bowl. On workout days I eat another bowl of that 3 hours later and on non-workout days, I might 'cheat' and have guacamole & chips with it. For dinner, its sometimes healthy and sometimes not - and often I have one beer with my dinner.
Funny thing is, that if you broke down my diet, I really only eat one 'bad' meal a day, and certainly if I cut out that beer with dinner it would be that extra 150 calories I didn't need.
You know what? It's fine. To me, if 75% of my diet is good and I 'cheat' on 25%, I think i'm doing plenty better than the rest of the world - and i'm sane and not counting calories and panicked if I decide one day after work to go to Sweet Revenge after work and have a beer & a cupcake.
Since I started Crossfit, I have been feeling great. Probably the best of my life. I was brushing my teeth the other night, with my shirt off. I looked at my abs - and noticed my muscles. The last time I could actually see my abs was in NROTC at Villanova. Sure, I still have plenty of fat, and i'm a far, far, cry from a flat stomach. But it certainly make me laugh a bit to see progress after six weeks of Crossfit.
Baby steps. Baby steps.

The Marlins put an end to their winless road streak on their trip to Georgia, but they left for New York knowing they let two winnable games against the first-place Atlanta Braves get away from them.
Evan Gattis, becoming a terror for the Marlins to deal with only two seasons into his big-league career, once again delivered the big blow for Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon.
Two days after drilling the game-winning home run to beat the Marlins in the 10th inning, Gattis came off the bench and stroked a two-run double to left off reliever A.J. Ramos with two outs in the eighth, lifting the Braves to a 3-1 victory in front of 21,508 sun-soaked fans at Turner Field.
"You don't get moral victories in the big leagues. There's not a column for that," manager Mike Redmond said. "Much like Washington, we know we can play with these guys. But at the same time, we've got areas we've got to get better at. We need to limit our mistakes. When we do that were going to get on the other end of these games and win them."

The Marlins (10-12) can point to a few reasons why they're still looking for their first road series victory of the season after three tries.
For starters, they struck out 41 times against the Braves — including 16 on Wednesday, one shy of matching the franchise record for a nine-inning game.
The Braves (14-7) own the best ERA in baseball (2.10) and held the Marlins to only four runs in the series. But Miami had plenty of opportunities to drive in runs — especially late — and finished 2 for 21 combined with runners in scoring position in their two losses.
Trailing 1-0 after a throwing error, wild pitch and RBI single by Ryan Doumit scored Chris Johnson in the fourth inning, the Marlins tied it at 1 in the sixth when Giancarlo Stanton dropped a ball between three Braves fielders in short left-center field with two outs, scoring Jeff Mathis from second. It was Stanton's 27th RBI of the season and the first run Braves starter Aaron Harang had allowed in 14 1/3 innings.
But that's all the Marlins were able to push across the plate because Harang struck out Garrett Jones with runners on second and third to end the rally.
The Marlins had their first two hitters reach base in the seventh, ending Harang's afternoon after 101 pitches. But after Adeiny Hechavarria fouled off two bunt attempts trying to move the runners over against reliever Jordan Walden, he struck out swinging. Walden then got out of the inning when he struck out pinch-hitters Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Greg Dobbs swinging.
The three consecutive strikeouts with a runner in scoring position and the opportunity to take the lead mirrored what happened in the ninth inning with Craig Kimbrel on the mound in Monday night's loss. On Wednesday, Kimbrel pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his sixth save of the season.
"First things first — you have to put the ball in play," Stanton said. "Even if you have bad contact or something doesn't go right, if you put it in play something can happen. If you don't, you know where you're going — [back to] the bench.
"These are the teams you can't make mistakes against, and if you have an opportunity, you have to advance on it. There's no second chances versus teams like these."
The Marlins put the ball in play in the eighth but still couldn't capitalize. After Christian Yelich extended his career-long hitting streak to 17 games with a bunt single and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Stanton was intentionally walked for the sixth time this season with one out. The Braves got out of that jam, though, when left-handed reliever Luis Avilan got Jones to pop out to third, and David Carpenter induced Casey McGehee to fly out to right.
On the flip side, the eighth inning once again became the nightmare frame for the Marlins' bullpen. After Mike Dunn gave up a one-out walk to Johnson and then a two-out infield single to Dan Uggla, Gattis came to the plate and delivered his heroics against Ramos.
Redmond said he didn't want Gattis seeing too many fastballs. What Gattis crushed into left field was a 1-1 fastball. Ramos said he left it over the heart of the plate.
"I wanted to get a fastball. I have faith in my fastball," Ramos said. "You throw it that far down the plate anybody can hit it like he did."
With that hit, Gattis is hitting .370 with four homers and 17 RBI against the Marlins in 13 career games. The Marlins' pitching staff, meanwhile, continues faltering in the eighth. It now has given up 18 of its 73 earned runs — nearly a quarter of its season total — before being able to hand the ball to closer Steve Cishek in the ninth.
"We haven't gotten the job done. It's pretty much plain and simple," Ramos said of the Marlins' eighth-inning woes. "There's no explanation for it. We haven't made the pitches we needed to make, we put ourselves in the situations we've been in, bad pitches, maybe bad pitch selection at times."

The bond market tends to hang on Bill Gross\'s every word. Recently, the vaunted bond expert has become something of a market contrarian.
In his latest bond market outlook, Gross, who manages the Pimco Total Return Fund , makes three related observations, none of which the market has come around to.
His first is that inflation statistics are under-appreciated when it comes to predicting how the Federal Reserve will shift monetary policy.
The Fed\'s decisions are based in large part on a combination of inflation and the unemployment rate, but there\'s no doubt that the jobs report — the next of which is due out Friday — garners the lion\'s share of attention. The nonfarm payrolls report is one of the biggest market-moving data points, despite indicating very little about the path of unemployment, says Gross.
However, the rate of inflation, as measured by the PCE annualized inflation rate, is the \"critical monthly statistic for analyzing Fed policy in 2014\", Gross says. Those reports also come out monthly, generally around the 20th. Here\'s how he explains himself:
\"Why? Bernanke, Yellen and their merry band of Fed governors and regional presidents have told us so. No policy rate hike until both unemployment and inflation thresholds have been breached and even then \'they're not thresholds,\' they're forks in the road that may or may not lead in a different direction.\"
While economists would agree that PCE is important, the report doesn\'t usually have the market-moving power of a strong (or horrible) jobs number. Nor do pundits spend lots of time breaking it down.
That brings him to his second point. Even as the economy picks up steam and the unemployment rate falls, inflation will remain muted, which means the Federal Reserve is likely to hold off on any rate hikes for a substantial period of time, he says. His call is \"2016 at the earliest\".
The market doesn\'t quite believe that; one indicator of rate hike expectations on Thursday pulled forward the timing of the first rate hike to the first quarter of 2015.
No matter, the bond guru is sticking with his forecast. And he\'s recommending that we invest accordingly. Low policy rates mean the prices are likely to stay high and yields low on the shorter end of the yield curve, so he suggests buying shorter-maturity bonds. Here\'s his suggestion:
\"One-five year bonds, combined with credit, volatility, curve rolldown, and a dollop of currency should float a bond investor's boat in 2014 and avoid breaking the buck in total return space. I'm not saying we've got a bull market here. That would be like saying the Knicks or the Cubs have got a chance to win the big one. They don't, and a bull market in bonds is one for the history books. But if PCE inflation stays below 2.0% and inflationary expectations don't rise appreciably above 2.5%, then a 3-4% total return for 2014 is realistic.\"
Bill Gross has been touting the theme of shedding duration for a few months now, and he\'s certainly not the only one. But since the Fed decided to scale back its bond-buying stimulus program, the short and intermediate parts of the yield curve have sold of markedly. In fact, the long end of the curve that he suggests we move away from has outperformed the short end in recent sessions. That makes Gross\'s outlook a third one that the market hasn\'t yet bought into.
Is Gross ahead of the market, or is he fighting a losing battle? That may take some time to get ironed out, but he probably won\'t be proven right today.

"If you apply yourself on this wicket, it's not that difficult to score runs. It's Test cricket and you have to show some patience. Yes you can say that (we did not show enough patience). The key was the patience," Sehwag told reporters after the fourth day's play. The Delhi player believed that things could have been different had India posted a big first-innings total.
"In this series, we have not put runs on the board, especially in the last two Tests. The moment we put 500-plus, it's going to be a different ballgame.
"Their batsmen showed patience more than ours. They batted really well. Full credit to the way (Alastair) Cook and the others batted," Sehwag said.
Asked whether the Indians were taken aback by the quality of English attack, Sehwag said, "I don't think so. Our batsmen not scoring runs that's the important concern for me. In Ahmedabad we put 500-plus runs on the board and it was a different ballgame."
On a day the star-studded Indian batting flopped losing six wickets for 36 runs, Ravichandran Ashwin shone with an unbeaten 83, which helped the team avoid an innings defeat. At stumps in their second innings, India were 239 for nine, giving them a small lead of 32.
"Yes we are very much disappointed. Wicket was not that bad to lose six wickets in a session. But we have to work hard to bounce back in the next game."
Sehwag was optimistic enough to say that only a miracle can save India now.
"We can just hope that something happens tomorrow and we're able to draw the Test. Only God can help us." Asked if they were embarrassed after off-spinner Ashwin became India's top-scorer in the match, Sehwag said, "It's not embarrassment. He's also a part of our team and he knows how to score runs. He's utilising all his abilities.
"He is a good player. It depends on individual to individual. My batting style is different." He criticised the media when asked whether the team was finding it hard to fill in the void left by the retirements of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
"When Pujara scored a double and a hundred, you guys only said he's a replacement of Rahul Dravid. You didn't wait for a couple of matches. Only the media is saying now that Dravid and VVS is not there. It's a transition period for us. They will bounce back and score runs.
"Mera kehna kya maine rakhta hai idhar? (do I have a say here?), ya aap log kal headline mein decide karenge kiske baarein mein kya likhna hai (...you'll decide in the headlines tomorrow about who's good and bad). We have not batted well in the two Tests. It would have been a different ballgame had we put 400-500 on the board.
Bowlers would have got time to bundle them out. But it's difficult if we get out for 200-300 odd runs. He backed the bowlers and said: "Our bowlers tried everything from bowling quick to slow, they bowled flighted, they bowled flat but their batting made the difference. They were hitting the loose balls. We did not show enough patience.
On over-dependence, he said, "It's all in the media. It's a good team with six batsmen who can score tons and double tons. About the wicket, Sehwag said, "The wicket is good. It's not turning square. And about the middle-order, the opener said, "Yuvraj Singh has played 39 Tests while Virat Kohli is playing international cricket well for last two-three years.
"Kohli is ICC's cricketer of the year, he's got the BCCI award. He's matured enough. It's not a new and young middle-order line-up. Yuvi is playing after a long time."
Questioned about his approach to batting, he said, "It's my game. They are giving a lot of respect to my game. I am used to it now. They are trying to stop the boundaries but I've managed to score runs. That's the way I bat. It's the same thing for others.(PTI)

Reports: Turkey issues arrest warrant for Thunder's Enes Kanter
Turkey has issued an arrest warrant for the Oklahoma City Thunder's Enes Kanter, according to Bleacher Report.
Turkey has reportedly issued a warrant for the arrest of Kanter on accusations of alleged involvement with a terrorist organization.
Bleacher Report says a pro-government Turkish newspaper "Daily Sabah" is reporting that the warrant is because of Kanter's previous support on social media of Fethullah Gulen. Gulen allegedly staged a failed coup against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erodogan last year.
In response to the warrant issued, Kanter tweeted in Turkish, "You cannot catch me. Hahaha. Don't waste your energy. I am already going to come to [Turkey] to spit on all of your ugly, hate-filled faces."
Last week, Kanter said he was detained an airport in Romania after his travel documents were canceled by his government. CNN then reported that a Romanian border police spokesman confirmed Kanter had been stopped but said the basketball player was never detained and had been free to move about the airport, until he left on a flight for London.
He arrived Sunday in New York, according to his verified Twitter account.
