WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission economists have found that reforms adopted in 2010 have bolstered the $2.6 trillion money fund industry but would not have prevented the Reserve Primary Fund from "breaking the buck" during the financial crisis.
The SEC's findings were laid out in a new study released late on Wednesday that examines the 2008 financial crisis and the impact of reforms implemented as a response to those events.
During the crisis, heavy exposure to collapsed investment bank Lehman Brothers caused the net asset value (NAV) of the Reserve Primary Fund, a large money market fund, to fall below $1 per share, or "break the buck" in industry parlance.
"The findings indicate that funds are more resilient now to both portfolio losses and investor redemptions than they were in 2008," the report says.
"That being said, no fund would have been able to withstand the losses that The Reserve Primary Fund incurred in 2008 without breaking the buck, and nothing in the 2010 reforms would have prevented The Reserve Primary Fund's holding of Lehman Brothers debt."
The study was requested by SEC Democratic Commissioner Luis Aguilar and Republicans Troy Paredes and Dan Gallagher, all three of whom were reluctant to support any new reforms championed by SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro without additional economic analysis.
The study does not make any policy recommendations.
However, it does explore various explanations for redemption activity by investors during the financial crisis, and how any potential structural changes to money funds could affect investor behavior.
Since last year, Schapiro has been calling for a new round of reforms to the money market fund industry.
Although the SEC implemented numerous reforms in 2010, she has said those did not go far enough to prevent runs that could cause money market funds, ordinarily presumed to be risk-free investments, to drop below an industry target of $1 per share and thus lose money.
Those reforms at the time bolstered fund transparency, tightened credit quality standards, shortened the maturities of fund investments and imposed a new liquidity requirement.
Earlier this year, Schapiro circulated a draft proposal to SEC commissioners that contained several options for new measures. The leading option called for capital buffers coupled with redemption limits during periods of stress.
Another approach called for moving from a stable $1 per share net asset value to a floating NAV, so that investors would not get spooked by the prospect of funds breaking the buck.
But Schapiro faced staunch opposition from money market funds, as well as corporate treasurers, who said her proposal could effectively kill the industry.
Aguilar, Paredes and Gallagher were all wary of her call for more regulations without first studying the effects of the 2010 reforms, which were adopted in response to the Reserve Primary Fund incident.
The SEC voted to publicly release the economists' report on Wednesday after Aguilar issued a public comment earlier in the day announcing the study had been completed and delivered to commissioners.
He said in his statement he was glad the study more closely explores one of his primary concerns - that major structural changes to money funds could give rise to a migration by investors into instruments in an "unregulated market".
Those who prefer "yield over principal stability and low investment risk" could shift their money into floating NAV offshore money market funds or other instruments, the report said.
But non-financial commercial paper issuers would probably be largely unaffected by a decrease in demand from money market funds, and municipalities that use money market funds for short-term funding needs would also not likely feel a huge impact, the report said.
It is unclear exactly how the study will affect ongoing negotiations at the SEC over possible money market fund reforms.
Following the defeat of Schapiro's plan in August, the U.S. Financial Stability Oversight Council recently decided to take up the issue in an effort to pressure the SEC to come to a consensus on new reforms.
Last month, the FSOC rolled out a framework of new rules that largely mirror the plan championed by Schapiro.
It is collecting comments on the draft, which discusses the various regulatory approaches.
If the SEC refuses to act, then the FSOC could formally present its recommendations, which would force the SEC to agree to them, or reject them in writing within 90 days.
With Schapiro about to depart the agency on December 14, that will leave the SEC split between two Democrats and two Republicans, potentially making it harder to reach a consensus.
Aguilar has not publicly commented specifically about his views on either the capital buffer or floating NAV proposals.
Gallagher, however, has previously said he would be open to a floating NAV if it were coupled with rules allowing fund boards to impose liquidity "gates" on redemptions.

I used to view Shabbat as a day of boredom, restriction, and a waste of time. As a kid, I was obligated to go to synagogue. I remember seeing old rabbis with long beards mumbling prayers in a foreign language. What is the point of sitting around on Saturday morning in a place where I'm supposed to be connecting to God, I thought to myself, when I don't even speak the language?
I thought the rules of Shabbat were contradictory. If Shabbat was a day of rest and no work, how was walking two miles to synagogue instead of driving more "restful"? Why is turning on a light switch considered "work"? These questions were the source of much of my confusion and resentment towards Shabbat.
Growing up, my family typically celebrated Shabbat by driving to my grandparents' home on Friday nights. The only part I looked forward to was being with my family. My grandfather would say Kiddush and Hamotzi, and the rest of the night proceeded like any other regular night. The TV was on, we all used our cell phones, text messaged at the dinner table, and drove back home.
It was only after I experienced my first true Shabbat in Israel this past summer that I began to appreciate and identify its inherent beauty. During our first week on the trip, we traveled through Jerusalem, down south to Sderot, and ended with Shabbat in Tzfat in Northern Israel, known for its intense spirituality and the study of Kabbalah.
Friday morning Rabbi Yitz Jacobs, from Aish LA, gave a class on "The Beauty of Shabbat." I sat in the front row on the edge of my seat, anxious to ask him all my questions that had piled up over the last decade. I could hardly contain myself from pouring out all my criticisms about Shabbat in front of everyone, but I did my best to first hear him out. What I heard that morning blew my mind.
"Shabbat is about disconnecting in order to connect."
"Shabbat is about disconnecting in order to connect with God," Rabbi Jacobs explained. "We disconnect from computers, telephones, television, and electronics, in order to connect with spirituality and with our loved ones. On Shabbat we have the ability to focus, to be in the present moment, and have gratitude for all that we have."
I completely misunderstood the concept of Shabbat for the past 23 years. It's not about "not working;" it's about being with what already exists, and not creating anything new for 25 hours. It's about stopping the constant obsession with building, creating, and fixing for one day and just enjoying the amazing things we take for granted, like our relationships with family members, and our connection with friends. It's about truly being in the present moment, and not sitting at the dinner table, thinking about our jobs, finances, schoolwork, problems or lacks, but thinking about how blessed we are for everything we already have.
I realized that I was missing this in my life. I am always on the go doing something. I never stop. I rarely take a few moments to just relax and enjoy both the simple and the greatest things in my life: my wonderful sisters, my friends, my home, my bed, my ability to learn, feeling God's love, all my accomplishments. I have so much to be thankful for, but I never give myself a minute to even appreciate any of it. When was the last time I stared at the flowers in my garden and thanked God for making the world so beautiful?
The laws of Shabbat enable us to learn to appreciate the fruits of our labor. We pull back from creating in order to gain the ability to actually see all that already exists in our lives
I began to see Shabbat in a whole different light. What a concept: a day of gratitude and connection with loved ones.
I was curious to try a real Shabbat for the first time in my life. No phone, no laptop, no TV, no car, no iPod. Just connection. Just being. Being with people I love. Thanking God for all He has blessed me with.
When Shabbat arrived, I had the patience and focus to close my eyes, tune into my inner world and soul and really thank God for all my blessings. I was focused and felt connected with the people I spoke to. Our group drank wine, ate challah, had a five course meal, took part in intimate conversations, gave some "L'chaims," sang Shabbat songs and talked until three in the morning. We had no phones to distract us. Instead, we had real human, face-to-face interactions.
Shabbat was right in front of me the whole time, I only had to properly experience it to really see it.

I just couldn't resist. Here are my bite-sized reviews of top ten books you should read. There should be something for everyone except the non-fiction fiend. For those doubting fiction, let me clarify that reading fiction can help improve some fundamentally human qualities:
- Fiction helps us explore abstract human experiences
- Fiction deepens our appreciation for concrete human experiences
- Fiction expands our range of experiences
- Fiction provides beauty and creativity to be enjoyed
"Literature is a form of discovery, perception, intensification, expression, interpretation, creativity, beauty, and understanding. These are ennobling activities and qualities." Leland Ryken
And with that! Here comes a list that is STILL related to travel, because with an excellent book you can significantly improve the experience of your travel trip. Also, what else would you be doing on those train rides from A to B? Below is a list that I experienced in different places in the world… About different places of the world.
- For a Paris filled with anecdotes about famous writers (did you know that Hemingway and Ezra Pound vowed to save T.S. Eliot's position at the bank) and to learn that you don't need a lot of money to have a good life, read Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast": And if you travel to Paris, head to 6th arrondissement to at 113 rue Notre Dame des Champs, which is where he lived.
- A tour de force vomit on the twisted world of fashion, celebrity & derangement, go to Bret Easton Ellis's "Glamorama". Bret Easton Ellis have recently become the best writer of tweets and made a lot of enemies in his lifetime, but I still find his work interesting. It flows with such hedonistic abandon and completely dysfunctional moral compasses. (This is a fucked up book, avoid if you can't stomach obscenity). I read this book during the hot summer of 2010, in Toronto.
- I work in digital advertising. Which ads changed the world? If you think, none, you're wrong. And chances are, the top ad that you are thinking is not the one that is featured here. An excellent treatise spawning from the dawn of advertising is James Twitchell's "20 Ads that Shook the World". I read this in Toronto in 2009.
- On the true face of Stalinism and fallen idylls of communism, read the startling "Darkness at Noon" by Arthur Koestler. I read this dark piece of intelligent and astute writing on a sunny trip to Los Angeles in 2010. This is one of the few books that deeply shook me and made me question the past of the country I come from (Russia).
- For a beautiful treatise on memory, friendship, ageing and life in London after the Great War, immerse yourself in Virginia Woolf's "Mrs Dalloway". I first read it as a teenager back in Vancouver, but since moving to London, I re-read it and fell in love.
- A progressively lunatic capture of LA hills, an early Hollywood & celebrity culture: Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust". This is the book that starts sunny, full of the energy of the film industry and sunshine. Gradually, things start spinning out of control. There is a particularly gruesome description of a cock fight. There is a murder. There is madness. It spins out of control (like most of West's books, which are only 4 because he died young in a car crash 😦 )
- For a dirtier, sexier, sincere take on life in XX century Paris, read Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer". Inhibitions, be gone! This was the book that I read the moment I returned from Colombia, as my friend recommended it to me. I knew about Henry Miller and his notoriety, but I did not anticipate how much it would affect it. After reading the first few chapters, I sat down to type out angry words of my own. I had a good reason at the time. I still view this book as the bridge that transported me to London. Unfortunately, I gave away my copy to someone who probably did not appreciate it.
- Skip "Master and Margarita" and go for Mikhail Bulgakov's lesser known novel "Heart of a Dog". It's an absurdist parable of the Russian Revolution: Professor Preobrazhensky and his young colleague Dr. Bormental inserted the human's hypophysis into a dog's brain. Couple of weeks later the dog became "human looking". The main question is "Is anybody who is looking like a man, A REAL MAN?" Read the book to find out for yourself. There is an excellent film based on this book, check out the Mubi page.
- Immerse yourself in a futuristic Russia where technology & draconian codes of Ivan the Terrible rule Moscow of 2028: Vladimir Sorokin's "Day of the Oprichnik" is a straight spit in the face of what the Putin administration is becoming. This is advanced reading and requires some knowledge of the Russian history and what oprichniki were (basically, they were czar's thugs, Wiki). There is also a lot of drugs, sex and rock'n'roll.
- And the final recommendation to those with strong hearts and open minds: the most beautiful book ever written, and the one that made me feel more emotions than any other books: Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita". I believe that Vladimir Nabokov was the greatest master of Russian AND English language, for the way he wrote is so articulate, scientific, precise and trembling that it borders magic. I also realized that I did not like any covers for the book, because they convey something other than what I got out of the book.

The ink is barely dry on the announcement of Kindle 2 and now word comes that a new version may be just around the corner.
The New York Times and Gizmodo times are reporting that Amazon.com may be releasing a larger version of the popular book reader.
As early as this week, according to people briefed on the online retailer's plans, Amazon will introduce a larger version of its Kindle wireless device tailored for displaying newspapers, magazines and perhaps textbooks. An Amazon spokesman would not comment, but some news organizations, including The New York Times, are expected to be involved in the introduction of the device, according to people briefed on the plans.
The new large screen format would be good news to the struggling newspaper business as it tries to save its audience and find new ways to reach them.
Kindle's paper-like display and easy to use, light weight design has become popular with avid book readers. It's expected that Amazon will sell over 500,000 units before the end of the year.

I'm pretty obsessed with the magic of the slow cooker, but I'm also really putting it to the test…throwing things into it that I just happen to have in the house, using no recipe*, and spending no more on 5 minutes on it before I press the "on" button for the 10 hour cook. So far, it hasn't let me down. Recently I tried this with a chicken I had bought with the intention of roasting it along with some parsnips, potatoes, and carrots, but on the day I needed to cook it, there wasn't going to be anyone home to put it in the oven. So I put it in the slow cooker, salted and peppered it, stuffed it with a quartered lemon, rosemary, and sage, and threw in carrots, potatoes, and parsnips. Then I added in some water, probably covering it up to the middle of the chicken, and some sprigs of thyme. I was fully prepared for it to be hospital food, but it actually worked out really well. Granted, it wasn't something I would say was my finest moment in the kitchen—in a perfect world I would have added the veg in towards the end, so they wouldn't have been so soft—but the flavor was fantastic. The next day I brought it to work and put the chicken and vegetables over arugula with a garlic wine vinaigrette, and it was delicious. And I gave some leftovers over rice to our daughter for lunch.
*I haven't found a slow cooker cookbook that I love. I've tried several, and they completely put me off with their super-complicated recipes…if the whole idea is that I'm supposed to be using this when I don't have time, I have no patience for a cookbook that assumes I have plenty of prep time. But I'm all ears if you have a recommendation!

SUMMARY: Cartridge
Quantity in stock: 0
This valve is a pilot operated, normally closed, electro-proportional throttle with reverse free flow check. Energizing the coil generates an opening force on the pilot stage which vents the main stage poppet to open proportionally. Metered flow is from port 1 to port 2 with reverse free flow from port 2 to port 1.
- Capable of operating with pressures up to 5000 psi.
- Coils are interchangeable with Sun's other full flow, solenoid-operated valves and can be mounted on the tube in either direction.
- This cartridge has several manual override choices, including no manual override. See Option Configuration.
- For optimum performance, an amplifier with current sensing and adjustable dither should be used. Dither should be adjustable between 100 - 250 Hz.
- The momentary/twist override option "E" allows the operator to shift the valve by twisting the manual override clockwise 90 degrees.
- Depending on circuit requirements, a reverse free flow check bypassing the compensator may be needed when using the FPHK with an external compensator.
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Show FAQ
|What happens if I block the bypass port on a priority flow control?
|The valve acts as a 2 port restrictive flow control.
|How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?
|There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
|How accurate are Sun's flow controls?
|We claim +/- 10%. We set to +/- 5% in production testing to allow for differences in customers' conditions. If you want accuracy, stay in the bottom 2/3rds of the range. Our 12 gpm (45 L/min.) flow controls are quite flat at 9 gpm (34 L/min.) and dead flat below 6 gpm (23 L/min.), until you get to the bottom of the range. Below about .25 gpm (1 L/min.), spool leakage and orifice conditions start to limit accuracy.
|I have a heat problem, will Sun's priority flow control help?
|I am afraid not. Unless you are overflowing your current valve and correctly size ours, you are not likely to notice any improvement. Priority flow controls are not efficient devices. They are an easy way to get more than 1 source of oil from 1 pump but they can generate a lot of heat. Try to size your actuators so the pressures are similar on both the priority and the bypass circuits. If you can't do that, try to have the lower flow leg be the lower pressure. The pump pressure is determined by whichever leg is higher and if there is flow that is taking a pressure drop that is not doing work it is creating heat.
|What happens if I block the control flow (priority) port?
|All flow is blocked, hence the term priority. The priority flow has to be satisfied.
|What is the compensating pressure of Sun's flow controls?
|The spring force in our flow controls equates to about 100 psi (7 bar). This is high enough to give the valves acceptable capacity (not really) and not too high for proper circuit operation. 100 psi (7 bar) is the spring force; at the upper end of the flow control's range, the drop through the valve will be as high as 250 psi (17 bar) before it starts modulating.
|What is the pressure drop through a flow control?
|In a meter-in flow control circuit if the pump is set at 3000 psi and the load is 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 1000 psi. In a meter-out circuit with the load at 2000 psi the drop through the flow control is 2000 psi.

Maria and I were out enjoying the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge and came across these Condors. The Refuge is about an hour from here so it's an afternoon.
Well Gary I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there are two problems with your Condors photo. Number one is there are no Condors south of Flagstaff. Number two, that is a Turkey Vulture, not a California Condor. The dead giveaway is the hole through the head via the nostrils. They are both big dark birds with red heads and they love to eat dead things, but they are definitely different species.

Fall Sports Wrap-Up
Unprecedented success on the football field, a once-in-a-generation tennis team and a school that won three state championships highlighted an unbelievable fall sports season for schools in the Town&Style coverage area.
For the first time in state history, four St. Louis area schools won state championships this year, and three of them were from the West County area. CBC started things off with a title in Class 6 (the largest schools in Missouri). It was the third in the last five years for the Cadets, who also won state titles in 2014 and 2017. CBC finished the season with a record of 12-1. Its only loss came against an outof- state team, St. John's College, 59-49. The Cadets were an offensive juggernaut, scoring at least 45 points in every game. They outscored their opponents 733-258. The Cadets cruised through the postseason with wins over St. Louis University High (63-0), Hazelwood West (69-8), De Smet (63-28) Joplin (56-21) and Rockhurst (45-21). CBC totally dominated in the championship game against Rockhurst, outgaining the Hawks 594-158. Brett Gabbert threw for over 300 yards and four touchdowns, and Julian Williams had nine receptions for 160 yards and a pair of scores.
Vianney, which plays in the same Metro Catholic Conference as CBC, won its second state title in three years, capturing the Class 5 title. The Griffins advanced to the title game with postseason wins over Parkway West (56-14), Chaminade (55-14), Jackson (69-28), and Carthage (36-21). Vianney dominated Fort Osage statistically in the championship game but trailed 14-0 at halftime.
Kyren Williams, a Notre Dame recruit, took things over in the second half and willed the Griffins to victory. He rushed for 289 yards on 26 carries and had five receptions for 65 yards. He recorded the play of the game in the third quarter, when he rushed for a 79-yard touchdown in the waning seconds to bring the Griffins to within a point at 14-13. Williams had a spectacular senior season as he rushed for 2,035 yards on 179 carries (an amazing 11.4 yards per rush). He also had 55 receptions for 725 yards and scored 40 touchdowns.
Vianney finished the season with a 12-3 record. Two of its losses came to Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Elder, Ohio. Its only loss to a local team came against Class 6 champion CBC, 70-28.
The Class 4 championship game may have been the overall highlight of the season for area football. Sixty-four teams play in Class 4, and the championship came down to a pair of schools just a mile apart on Warson Road.
Ladue capped off an undefeated season with a 48-11 victory over MICDS. The title for the Rams (Ladue Rams, that is, as MICDS has the same mascot) was their first in school history. They were knocking on the door the last two seasons, losing to Kearney in the semifinals in 2016 and to Webb City in the championship game last year, 14-0.
Ladue outscored its opponents 581-122 in winning its 15 games this season. The biggest test came against perennial power Webb City in the semifinals. Ladue traveled to far Southwest Missouri and defeated the Cardinals 17-13. The other postseason wins came against Westminster (49-0), St. Mary's (42-7), Summit (38-15) and West Plains (26-0).
Trinity gave the St. Louis area its fourth state championship. And like Class 4, it was an all-St. Louis final as Trinity defeated Cardinal Ritter, 45-19, in Class 3. There are very few St. Louis-area teams that play in the state's smallest classes, Class 1 and Class 2.
girls tennis
Visitation athletic director Paul Stoecklin called the John Burroughs tennis team a 'once in a generation' squad.
The Bombers had four returning state champions in their lineup—Sami Remis and Gaby Thornton in singles, and Lily Walther and Ainsley Heidbreder in doubles. And a freshman, Emily Kantrovitz, actually won challenge matches against them all and played the No. 1 singles spot in the lineup throughout the season.
John Burroughs finished the season with a perfect 17-0 record. The Bombers were so dominant that they lost just six courts the entire season, and none in the postseason when they defeated Rosati-Kain (5-0), Kennett (5-0), Pembroke Hill (5-0) and Visitation (5-0). The closest match of the season came in the Great Eight Tournament to begin the season, when they defeated Pembroke Hill 7-2.
The Bombers followed up their team title by winning the individual doubles title with Remis, who won the singles crown last year, and Thornton, who defeated Remis in the 2016 state singles champion. Kantrovitz finished second in Class 1 singles.
The championship match was an all-area affair as Visitation made the finals. The Vivettes also cruised to the championship match with convincing wins over Incarnate Word (5-0), Helias (5-0) and Springfield Catholic (5-0).
Sophia McLellan played No. 1 for the Vivettes. She won her second individual medal in doubles with Ashley Hagan, while freshman Laura Finnie was third in singles at state. Lizzie Barlow of Villa Duchesne was fourth in singles.
St. Joseph's Academy had a spectacular year, finishing third in the state team event in Class 2. The Angels scored a dramatic 5-4 win over Lafayette in the sectional round and then defeated Lindbergh 5-0 to reach the final four. The Angels lost to Lee's Summit West 5-2 in the semifinals and ended the season with a 6-0 win over Springfield Central.
Ellie Choate and Lexi Woodman were the top two singles players for the Angels. They capped off their season with a state title in doubles, Class 2. They defeated teammates Shannon Sims and Nancy Serafin in the title match.
girls volleyball
It was another all-area championship match in volleyball as a pair of Rockwood School District teams played for the title at the Show-Me Center in Cape Girardeau. Eureka defeated Lafayette in a hotly contested match, 25-23, 25-23 to capture the Class 4 championship.
It was the first state volleyball championship for the Wildcats. Lafayette, on the other hand, was playing in the championship match for the seventh time in the last eight years. No other area team reached the final four in the other three classes.

Area teams also dominated this sport, with yet another all-area championship match. And it was a thriller with Villa Duchesne edging MICDS 1-0 for the Midwest Field Hockey Association title at Sportport.
Taryn Tkachuk had the goal for the Saints in the title match, and Claire Douglass had the shutout. The goal was the 29th of the season for Tkachuk. She shared the league lead in that category with Kate Oliver of MICDS.
Villa Duchesne did not lose in its last 12 games, recording 11 victories and a tie, and the team finished the season with a 22-5-1 record. All five losses came against out-of-state teams. The championship was the second in a row for the Saints.

Kirkwood's Christian Baker won the individual Class 4 meet at the Oak Hills Golf Course in Jefferson City. Baker, who missed a medal last year with a 29th place finish (the top 25 get medals), became the first Kirkwood boy's cross country champion in 51 years. It was not Baker's first gold medal, though, as he won the 3,200-meter run and was part of the state champion 4×800-meter Pioneer team in track.
St. Louis University High won its first team trophy since 2014, finishing second to Rockhurst in Class 4. Lafayette was fourth and Kirkwood was fifth in Class 4. Clayton and Westminster had top 10 team finishes in Class 3. Clayton was fifth and Westminster was ninth.
Maplewood's Malik Stewart came in second individually in Class 2.
girls cross country
Four area teams had top 10 finishes, although there were no individual champions. Parkway West finished second behind Lee's Summit West in Class 4, and Marquette was fifth in Class 4.
Westminster and MICDS were in the top 10 in Class 3. Westminster came in fifth and MICDS eighth.
Kylie Goldfarb of John Burroughs had the best area finish individually, ranking second in Class 3. Isabella Boedefeld of Visitation also finished in the top 10, placing ninth in Class 3. Katelynn Quade of Marquette had the best finish in Class 4, at fourth.

Two more area state championships came in this sport, and neither was an easy victory. St. Joseph's Academy won the Class 2 meet, defeating Notre Dame de Sion by just four strokes. The Angels finished with a score of 627. Notre Dame de Sion recorded a 631, while Rock Bridge was a distant third at 671.
John Burroughs captured another title as it edged Springfield Catholic by just two strokes (701-703). Once again, this was a two-team race, as MICDS was a solid third at 739. Logan-Rogersville came in a very distant fourth with a score of 800.
St. Joseph's had an unprecedented five team members finish in the top 12 and medal as they captured their third consecutive Missouri state Class 2 championship. Grace Aromando finished fourth, Nicole Rallo was sixth, Lauren Gallagher was ninth, Mia Rallo was eleventh and Drew Nienhaus was 12th. Lafayette's Brooke Biermann was second.
Parker Perry of MICDS had the best Class 1 tournament, finishing third. Emma Buell of Villa Duchesne and Claire Pan of John Burroughs tied for fourth.

CBC and John Burroughs both took home state titles in soccer. The Cadets won their last 13 games to capture the Class 4 championship. CBC defeated Holt (1-0), Chaminade (3-1), Rockhurst (3-0) and De Smet (1-0) in the post-season. CBC allowed only three goals in that 13-game winning streak and finished the season with a 25-2-2 record. The Cadets outscored their opponents 80-15.
De Smet also recorded a dominant season in Class 4, finishing second with a record of 22-4-2. The Spartans outscored their opponents 72-15. Two of their four losses came against CBC.
Defense was the calling card for Class 2 champion John Burroughs, which won its last nine games and gave up just one goal in the process. The Bombers defeated Monett in the semifinals 1-0 and beat St. Charles West 3-0 in the title game. It was just the second loss in 27 matches for St. Charles West. John Burroughs finished the season with an 18-6-1 record.
Two other area teams reached the championship match. Principia lost to Barstow 3-2 on penalty kicks in Class 1. The Panthers lost despite outshooting Barstow 27-11 in the match, including 8-1 scores in the two overtime periods.
Webster Groves made it to the championship game in Class 3 after postseason wins over Priory (1-0), Farmington (3-0) and Glendale (4-0). But the Statesmen fell in the championship game to Fort Zumwalt South, 2-1.
It was another special season at Marquette, which came ever so close to winning the Class 4 state title. The Mustangs, who won 14 of their first 15 games, finished the season with a record of 23-5. The five losses came by a combined six runs and two of those came in the final four.
Marquette reached the final four after a 3-0 sectional win over Webster Groves and a 12-2 victory over Oakville. But the Mustangs lost their two games at the Killian Complex in Springfield by identical 6-5 scores, falling to Blue Springs South in the semifinals and Raymore-Peculiar in the third-place game.
Annah Junge had another dominant season for the Mustangs. She was 18-4 on the mound with a 1.06 ERA. Junge struck out 262 and walked just 39 in 144.7 innings.
boys swimming
St. Louis University High captured its first state championship since 2003, winning the Class 2 meet at the St. Peters RecPlex. The Junior Bills won with 250 points, and Liberty was second with 235 points. CBC also came home with a trophy for its third-place finish.
The Junior Bills capped the meet with a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay with seniors Joseph Feder, Daniel Fink and William Statin and freshman Cooper Scharff. Scharff also finished second in the 100-yard backstroke and the 200-yard freestyle.
CBC senior Brooks Cosman had an outstanding final high school meet, winning the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle. August Brandt was another Cadet individual champion, winning the 100-yard butterfly.
Five area teams finished in the top 10 in Class 1, but there were no individual area champions. Parkway West had the best area showing, finishing third behind champion Cape Central and Glendale. MICDS (fifth), Chaminade (eighth), Parkway Central (ninth) and Clayton (10th) also finished in the top 10.

No. 7 TIGERS VISIT ALBANY IN CAA CONTEST
Tigers Seeking To Bounce Back From First Loss Of Season
TOWSON, Md. – Coming off their first loss of the season, Coach Rob Ambrose and the Towson University football team will be trying to pull out a victory when the seventh-ranked Tigers (6-1, 2-1) travel to Albany (1-6, 0-3) to face the Great Danes in a Colonial Athletic Association contest on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 3:30 p.m.
The game will be broadcast back to the Baltimore area on www.TowsonTigers.com with Spiro Morekas, Ron Meehan and Zack Maskavich calling the action.
The Tigers, who had their 10-game winning streak snapped by Villanova last week, will be trying to avoid the slow starts that have plagued them in their last three games. Last week, the Tigers spotted Villanova a 21-0 lead before falling, 45-35. Two weeks ago, New Hampshire grabbed a 20-3 lead in the first quarter before the Tigers rallied for a 44-38 win. In late September, the Tigers had to rally from a 14-0 first quarter deficit to beat Stony Brook, 35-21.
"Everything is a learning experience and I think we learned a lot from the loss to Villanova," says Coach Ambrose. "I have never seen a first half like the one we played against Villanova. We ran only 11 plays and trailed by 38-14 at halftime. I give our players a lot of credit for the way they battled back to make a game out of it."
Although the Tigers saw their 10-game winning streak ended by Villanova, they have won seven consecutive road games. In fact, Towson has won eight of its last nine CAA road games dating back to the 2011 season.
Towson started its school-record road winning streak on Oct. 27, 2012 with a 49-35 win at Villanova. Since then, the Tigers have picked up wins at Delaware, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Holy Cross, North Carolina Central and Stony Brook.
The Tiger offense, which is ranked 10th in NCAA FCS, enters the Albany game averaging 40.8 points per game. The Tigers are also second in the CAA in total offense, averaging 465.9 yards per game. The Tiger offensive line has done a terrific job protecting senior quarterback Peter Athens (Huntingtown H.S./Huntingtown, Md.). Athens has only been sacked three times in seven games.
Athens, who ranks fifth in the CAA in passing efficiency, has completed 122 of 195 passes for 1,687 yards and 10 touchdowns. Junior Spencer Wilkins (Mount Hebron H.S./Ellicott City, Md.) and senior Leon Kinnard (Loyola H.S./Reisterstown, Md.) are tied for the team receiving lead. Wilkins has caught 31 passes for 533 yards and three touchdowns while Kinnard has 31 receptions for 442 yards and one touchdown.
The Tiger offense is led by junior Terrance West (Northwestern H.S./Baltimore, Md.). The leading rusher in the CAA, West has rushed for 947 yards in seven games, a 135.3 average. He has topped the 100-yard rushing mark in five games and has been named as the CAA Offensive Player of the Week three times.
With 17 touchdowns in seven games, he leads NCAA FCS.
West is the second-leading rusher in Towson history. In 28 games, he has rushed for 3,287 yards on 558 carries. In his career, he has scored 60 rushing touchdowns and has a total of 61 touchdowns.
The winner of the Jerry Rice Award as a freshman, he is one of the leading candidates for the Walter PaytonAward.
Senior linebacker Telvion Clark (Granby H.S./Norfolk, Va.) leads the Tigers with 64 tackles. He ranks fifth in the CAA.
Towson will be facing Albany for the fifth time ever. However, this is the first time that the teams have met as conference rivals. The Great Danes are first-year members of the CAA.
Towson and Albany have split their four-game series. The home team has won each game. The Tigers won the most recent meeting, a 35-16 victory in 2004.
After playing at Albany this week, the Tigers return to action on Saturday, Oct. 26 when they visit Richmond for a 12 noon game.

This from KPCC:
Mexican consul general in Los Angeles Juan Marcos Gutierrez-Gonzalez said that the investigation's taken on high priority in Mexico. "I spoke to several members of the community of El Monte, that communicate to me the concern and I immediately talked to the ambassador of Mexico in the United States, who at the time was in Mexico City. That helped and the undersecretary, at the maximum level."
Mexican authorities have said they believe the killings were the work of area drug cartels. On Monday, thousands of people attended a candlelight vigil at which Salcedo's brother urged those in attendance to pressure Mexican officials to find the gunmen.
Consul Gutierrez-Gonzalez said that the slaying, while tragic, should not discourage travelers from visiting his country as long as they take precautions about their surroundings. "You can travel to Mexico. We invite you to visit Mexico but once there, take your precautions. I'm not saying the Salcedos didn't take their precautions. I think they are victims of something else we don't know yet."

Canadians are putting off their retirement plans and working at least two years later across all education levels, Statistics Canada says.
Rick Rayman is part of a growing group of workers who has put off his retirement from the workforce. When he gave up his private dental practice, he took on a teaching job at the University of Toronto's school of dentistry. He's in his 60s and has no plans to retire.
"I want to keep on doing it until I don't have that desire … that drive … that fire," he says. "I hope that never happens."
Rayman isn't alone. Statistics Canada released data Tuesday revealing that Canadians are increasingly likely to put off their retirement plans and are now working at least two years longer than workers did just a decade ago.
According to an analysis the agency published, Canadian workers are retiring later today than they did in the 1990s. And the trend holds true across all education levels.
Among those with less than a high school diploma, a 50-year-old worker in 2009 could expect to work another 14.3 years before retiring, Statistics Canada said. That's two years longer than the same worker could have expected to work in 1998.
The gap widens for those with more education. A 50-year-old worker with a post-secondary degree could expect to work another 14.6 years in 2009, up from just 12 years in 1998.
So workers are staying on at least two more years, on average, than they used to before retiring.
Life expectancies differ
The analysis also found that less-educated workers aged 50 have a life expectancy after retirement of 18 years, compared with 21 years among workers with a post-secondary education.
Those calculations include people who leave the workforce against their will, for reasons such as being laid off, illness or having to care for a family member. Such "involuntary retirements" make up about one-quarter of all retirees, Statistics Canada says.
Add it all up, and the agency says the average 50-year-old worker across all demographic groups could expect to work longer than a counterpart in 1998.

Nice. What kinda kid was Bertuzzi?
Nice. What kinda kid was Bertuzzi?
|Sponsored Links
He always played a year ahead of his age group; I thought it stunted his hockey development at the time (guess I was wrong lol). He was always stuck on our fourth line in the early years.
I remember playing in a tournament in Toronto in '88 (sticks out in my mind vividly because of the Seoul Olymoics/Ben Johnson scandal). Todd was an absolute runt on our team at the time, I remember throwing him around like a ragdoll in practice. Fast forward a few years, and he just took-off height wise in the OHL. Next thing I hear, he is fighting Eric Lindros. WTF!
Todd was a good teammate, and while it might be hard to believe, was one of the quietest in the room.

Then when you know better, do better" is the quote that sums up this year perfectly for me. 5 years ago I would have scoffed about food being the answer to my journey with parenting. You see, I grew up with a really healthy lifestyle – my mom ensured we ate everything needed, plus more! I don't ever remember take-out and we ate what we were given without complaint. When I first wrapped my mind around the chemical exposure my children were surrounded with, I only thought plastics, pesticides, cleaning supplies, toys, etc. But after learning more (and perhaps the industry is cleaning up their act too) my focus is in the kitchen. Not a place I feel comfortable or look like I belong, but when I close my eyes, I see a mom that knows how to make apple pie, has a crock pot or soup ready throughout the day, and always has muffins or home cooked baked goods on hand. That is not happening in my house. And I've spent 2012 re-developing my relationship with food – kinda like setting the stage for 2013 as I now understand the importance of organics and supporting a local food system.
In 2013 I have a focus board in my mind when I close my eyes and it includes a mom that gets up before the kids to make breakfast, that doesn't scream at the little things in life, has taken the time to expand dinner options, has already removed GMO convenience options, but needs to replace those foods with home-made versions. What do you see when you close your eyes? Sometimes you need to sit in peace, close your eyes, and envision how you need life to be. If you see trees, chickens, cows grass feeding, trying out juicing/dehydration, leaning towards living low-plastic, finding time to appreciate and love our wildlife – we are going to ROCK 2013 together. Get ready, get set, GO – it's a monster year of opening our eyes and seeing the world we've envisioned come to life. Come and join the conversation for more organic parenting options at the Mommy Footprint fan page. Peace and kindness for 2013. xo ~Suzanne

Skype's Server Upgrade Triggers Wiretapping Worries
Jul 24, 2012 4:18 PM PT
Fears have surfaced that Skype may be eavesdropping on communications over its service.
The concern is that supernodes Microsoft is introducing to Skype could make it easier to monitor calls, because they route the voice data in addition to initiating communications between parties.
"As was true before the Microsoft acquisition, Skype cooperates with law enforcement agencies as is legally required and technically feasible," Skype spokesperson Chaim Haas told TechNewsWorld.
However, the supernodes were being developed prior to Skype's being acquired by Microsoft, Haas said.
Skype developed the supernodes, which "can be located on dedicated servers within secure datacenters, as part of our ongoing commitment to continually improve the Skype user experience," said He Mark Gillett, head of Skype's product engineering and operations, in an earlier statement.
Just Another Eye in the Sky?
The fear is that Skype may be monitoring both voice and data communications.
Perhaps Microsoft's award of US patent 20110153809, which allows for legal interception, has fueled those fears.
The technology describes how data associated with a request to establish a communication is modified to cause it to be established via a path that includes a recording agent. Such modification could include adding, changing or deleting data.
However, "given how sensitive to latency voice -- and even more so video -- are, I find this to be implausible from an engineering standpoint," Vikram Phatak, CEO of NSS Labs, told TechNewsWorld.
Latency is behind the spotty voice conversations people experience when using a Voice over IP phone system. It's caused by delays in the transmission of packets of data over the network.
"Skype would lose users due to poor quality very quickly" if data were being intercepted at the supernodes," Phatak continued. "More likely, the handoff details are being shared with law enforcement, which is no different from what telephone carriers do today."
Further, communications can be -- "and in the case of international communications are already -- monitored by government servers," Jim McGregor, founder and principal analyst of Tirias Research, told TechNewsWorld. "This is already a reality and a result of the current state of the world."
The Mighty, Mighty Supernode
In Skype's supernode-based hierarchical peer-to-peer architecture, some ordinary nodes were previously selected to double as supernodes. The selection criteria appear to be reachability and spare bandwidth. The supernodes maintain an overlay network among themselves and take queries from ordinary nodes associated with them.
However, Microsoft appears to have taken over and installed its own supernodes instead, following its purchase of Skype earlier this year. Changes in Skype's supernode setup were reported in the Expertmiami blog in May.
Microsoft had trimmed the number of supernodes from about 48,000 to 10,000, the blog pointed out. Those 10,000 supernodes run on Linux boxes using GRSecurity.
Skype's introduction of its own supernodes hasn't changed the underlying nature of its P2P architecture, in which supernodes simply allow users to find one another, the company's Gillett said in response to the Expertmiami report. The move to supernodes improves scalability, performance and availability of the Skype service, and calls do not pass through supernodes.
Supernodes and Security
If Skype should move to a proxy model with all traffic flowing through supernodes, "it would make it easier for bad actors of all flavors," NSS Labs' Patak said. That's "not because the keys are easier to find [but] because all the targets would pass through a central choke point."
However, because this approach would probably cause "major performance problems," it's not likely the route Skype is taking, he added.
Further, "there's no reason to believe that some hackers can't already break in and intercept communications," Randy Abrams, director of research at NSS Labs, told TechNewsWorld. "If you're not acting with this assumption, then you aren't thinking about security properly."
The fuss over the supernodes possibly making it easier to monitor communications over Skype could be a tempest in a teapot.
"The real question is, should you really be concerned about this level of security?" Tirias Research's McGregor asked. "Are you and your company doing anything that would warrant this level of security? With the amount of proprietary or secure information that's being passed through open email channels today, voice communications over Skype should be the least concern of individuals or companies."

Do-It-Yourself Wills
Do it yourself wills are not a good idea for most people. The forms are not state specific and they cannot give you legal advice. They may not address all your family's needs and, if you make a mistake, there is no one to tell you.
It is always best to consult with an attorney to make sure your wishes are carried out as you have intended.

So long to the catchy "$5 footlong" jingle, because Subway's iconic deal just got a dollar more expensive.
Customers will now have to shell out $6 for "ALL of your favorite classic footlongs," the restaurant chain announced on Twitter Tuesday.
Not surprisingly, fans of the sandwich chain were not happy. The news prompted an immediate outcry on social media. Subway responded to displeased customers in another tweet, defending the increase on rising food costs.
The new price takes effect on Thursday in Subway restaurants nationwide.
Subway has been reeling from bad PR after its former spokesman, Jared Fogle, was sentenced to nearly 16 years in prison for child pornography and sex charges. Fogle helped fuel sales for nearly 15 years after shedding 200 pounds on a diet of Subway sandwichs.

Welcome to Emotional Intelligence Guide

Some Good Reasons For Teaching Emotional Intelligencefrom: Valerie Christie - Guest Writer
Many experts today are teaching emotional intelligence. People now go to seminars and take classes, and in fact generally pay a lot of cash to listen to someone teaching about emotional intelligence.
However one cannot help but ask about the reasons for all of this. Why is it that there are people who are focused in teaching about emotional intelligence!
People do want to learn Of course, this reason is most certainly at the core of teaching emotional intelligence, because at the end of the day, who will be willing to teach it if there's no one who wishes to learn about it!
We are occupied in teaching about emotional intelligence simply because people want to know more about it. They may believe that learning about it can greatly improve their lives, and they also may want to learn about it, simply because of the fact that it presents new possibilities for them. Whatever is the case, there would be no one teaching about emotional intelligence if there was no one willing to learn.
Of course this aspect includes the financial benefits of teaching about emotional intelligence, and since people are willing to learn about the subject, they are willing to pay to study. Teaching about emotional intelligence has turned out to be a very profitable business.
It does involve a change in perspective - At the heart of every person teaching about emotional intelligence, there is a soul who wants to change the world, and nowadays there are not many things that can do that. The progress of knowledge has accelerated to a point that people are very rarely surprised by new ideas.
This contradicts the fact that we live in a world ruled by change. Change is a part of our reality, and although some may shun change, our reality demands it. We need change in order to grow, and We need change in order to survive, but because of technology, it seems that there may now be nothing left that can change our world for the better. It seems that the only change we can now expect will come in the form of our complete extinction.
Emotional intelligence, however, involves a new frontier in education. Those who are teaching about emotional intelligence find themselves facing a whole new trove of ideas, but because of emotional intelligence, they are faced with the prospect of actually being able to change lives. This is a very appealing incentive to a teacher.
It is a learning process - Teaching about emotional intelligence also involves learning, and even the teachers find that there are still things about emotional intelligence that they do not know anything about. Through teaching about emotional intelligence, they are faced with problems which are seeking solutions, and accordingly they are able to improve their lives by helping to improve the lives of others.
The human race constantly seeks knowledge, because it is through knowledge that we succeed in attaining progress. Teaching is one of the few professions that enable someone to continue on the quest for knowledge, while at the same time imparting what they have learned themselves.
Teaching about emotional intelligence also allows teachers to explore their own ideas, and through teaching about emotional intelligence, they are also able to examine themselves, and unlock mysteries about thir personalities. They are able to impart a great gift to their students because of this.
These are just some of the reasons for teaching about emotional intelligence. Imparting knowledge is the reason why man has reached the level of civilization that we enjoy today, and through teaching about emotional intelligence, we are trying to ensure that this knowledge stays intact for many generations to come.

Well...um....err....Paul Giamatti's in it!
That's literally the most cohesive thought we can formulate after watching the first trailer for director Don Coscarelli's ("Phantasm," "Bubba Ho-Tep") latest horror/comedy "John Dies at the End." This mind-shellacking flick is, at the start, apparently about a new drug called "Soy Sauce" that causes some serious hallucinogenic side effects. From that point on, your guess is as good as ours - but this looks to be a serious WTF from beginning to end - like "The Matrix" meets "Trainspotting" while watching "The Guyver" on late night cable.
And this from the guy who had Elvis and the reincarnated spirit of JFK fight a mummy in a retirement home. So that's saying something.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Gotta love Coscarelli's official synopsis:
It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.
"No. No, they can't." Awesome.
Check out the trailer...and then get up and get some fresh air. You'll need it.

Does something like a quarterlife crisis really exist? Maybe.

We often get stuck in arbitrary things. We make excuses. We try to find shortcuts, and we try to do all these things that in the end only prevent us from reaching our goals.
Some people really don't know what they want to do. Here on some ideas on finding out.
This is where I was going to write a lot of pretty things about having priorities and about how money can't be everything or else you'll die sad. In the last couple of days, though

Written by Justin Stuboy, Escape from Metro is a harrowing tale of four cats and three dogs who escape from the Metro animal shelter in Casper, WY. After escaping the Metro animal shelter, the dogs and cats are chased by the Metro animal control officers who seem more like the German Gestopo. With limitless sums of money to recapture animals they were going to kill anyways, the Metro use their siren equiped armored personnel carriers in a $1,000,000 search for the 7 unwanted animals. After escaping, the stu seven spend most of their time finding food and dealing with one of their fellows flatch problems. After meeting up with Marmalade and Mantha, the animals are shown a hideout on the east side of Casper. After narrowly escaping a beating from an unnamed stuboy, the Metro spot the animals and Mantha is captured. What happens to Mantha we dont know. Marmalade shows the seven how to escape the city, and eventually they hitch a ride on a truck and end up in Hickrock. In Hickrock they are almost captured again by the Metro while raiding a grocery store. The animals hitch another ride and end up in the Black Hills where they meet some racoons that burn down a shack they were staying in. Yes racoons know how to use matches! Having learned that there is a $200,000 reward for their capture and beating, the animals continue east trying to get as far away from Casper as possible. After struggling across the Badlands, the seven catch a train at the Missouri river and ride it to Illinois. At this point one of the hea dogs is captured and probably beaten. What will happen next to our heroes, you will have to read the book.
Overall we found the book very entertaining, in a stu sort of way. Stuboy shows his 4th grade level of writing in his first novel, look for this book to win a stulitzer prize. Justin Stuboy brings to the forefront Casper's eternal struggle with the filthy rich animal sheltering industry whose Nazi like presenece has tormented the city's beatable animals for years. A novel this detailed could only be written by someone with the mantha beating experience Stuboy and few other people have. Good job stu!

"I obviously have the most to lose." —Rob
"Let's just focus on relaxing today." —Natalie
In the end, it was bound to be disappointing. There were two ways the Survivor: Redemption Island finale could have gone last night: It could have been just and unexciting, or it could have been exciting and unjust.
It was the former.
Boston Rob Mariano finally broke through, claiming the $1 million prize in his fourth attempt on Survivor in a finale that lacked drama or controversy. It was, as the season has been pretty much since the fourth episode, a coronation of Boston Rob.
But let's save those final thoughts for the end. First, a recap of "Seems Like a No-Brainer."

|Seagal comes armed with his trademark ponytail, martial arts expertise, big leather jackets, and environment-friendly message to the Appalachians in this hoedown showdown. As undercover (yeah, he blends right in) EPA agent Jack Taggart, Seagal must stop evil industrialist Hanner (Kristofferson) from dumping toxic waste. Of course, the company town sends the usual band of thugs (thoughtfully attacking one at a time) to make him go away. He finds allies in the local outcasts (Helgenberger and Stanton) en route to the final confrontation. Not Seagal's worst, but that's not saying much. Even the usually-impressive fight scenes become tedious after a while. At least he didn't try to direct this one. Originally conceived as a Bruce Willis project at Columbia.
