C-Code Finder
In order to find the appropriate C-code for a Cook Medical product, please enter the product's global product number in the field below:
Several years ago Medicare implemented the OPPS (Outpatient Prospective Payment System) to pay hospitals for services provided in their outpatient departments. This system includes billing codes called "C-codes," or "pass-through" codes. Medicare created over 90 pass-through categories of devices, each category with its own specific C-code (the letter "C" followed by four digits). If a hospital used a device that fell into a pass-through category, they could put the appropriate C-code on the bill they submitted to Medicare and receive an additional payment. These were commonly known as pass-through payments and were designed to expire after two to three years, after which the additional payments would be folded into the relevant Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) payment rates.
Though the pass-through payments for most C-codes no longer exist, Medicare does require that C-codes continue to be included on hospital claims paid under the OPPS. This is done so that Medicare can adequately capture the resources required to provide services and can use this resource information to establish adequate payment rates in the future. In fact, Medicare has defined certain procedures as being device dependent, and claims for these procedures will be denied if they don't also include the necessary C-code. See http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HospitalOutpatientPPS/ for additional information.

For a brief tutorial on how to use my head-to-head ranks, please visit here. For all of my in-depth rankings breakdowns, please visit http://fp911.com/author/albertlang/. For spreadsheets of rankings visit here.
Even with Dan Uggla's (#52 Hitter, #6 2B) disastrous 2012, he has the 17th most HRs since 2010 – that's among all hitters, not just second basemen. Among second basemen, he has the second most HRs, is tied for the fourth most runs, and has the second most RBIs since 2010. He provides no speed and his average isn't exceptional (.248), but he has been a dominant source of three categories from the second base position for several seasons now. Of course, last season was basically rock bottom: just 19 HRs, 11.4% HR/FB rate, and .220 average. While it appeared he got a bit more patient last season, his swing percentage was just 42.7%—a far cry from 2011, but higher than 2009 and 2010—it is possible he posted his best ever BB% because he knew he couldn't catch up to some offerings and simply didn't hack as much. That said, he still was hacking at a near career average rate. He also didn't appear to have poor contact. Aside from hitting a ton more infield flies, his batted ball profile seemed normal. Uggla is old (this will be his age-33 season) and second basemen tend to age poorly. However, that's more anecdotal than a stone cold fact. Until we see Uggla continue his poor HR/FB and IFFB trends, bank on a nice rebound from him: 30 HRs, .245 average and about 80 runs and RBIs – that's three categories of goodness.
Kelly Johnson (#92 Hitter, #11 2B) has been a surprisingly steady producer at second base, providing top five HRs, and, basically, top 10 runs, RBIs and SBs since 2010. Of course, he is living off an impressive 2010 and 2011, while last season was a bit more pedestrian: 16 HRs, 14 SBs and a .225 average. In addition, Johnson started hitting a ton of ground balls last season, which zapped his power. He is also moving to a poor hitter's park, which could hurt him. Oddly, Johnson has also been on a downward trend against left-handed pitchers. For most of his career, Johnson had been a reverse platoon guy, hitting lefties incredibly hard. Unfortunately, he has been mastered by southpaws the last two seasons and hasn't improved against righties. Still, Johnson is just 31, so he's not quite over the hill yet. There are some things to like, as you're not getting double digit power and speed late from a second baseman and he has decent on base skills which could net him a good amount of runs. At this point, he's living off his 2010-2011 and probably shouldn't be a starting second baseman for you out of the gate. However, he could become one and certainly is a decent middle infielder.
In just 73 games last season, Chase Utley (#108 Hitter, #15 2B) hit 11 HRs and stole 11 bases. He certainly seemed somewhat back. However, you can't just double his numbers assuming a healthy season—Utley hasn't topped 115 games since 2009. In addition, his BABIP has been on a downward trajectory since '09. Part of that could be the injury or loss of speed, but it's hard to assume he'll be as healthy as he was in his prime and batting .280-.300. A reasonable projection for Utley is a .260 average with 14 HRs and 10 SBs. certainly, a full season could put him in the 20 HR/15 SB territory, but don't pay for that. That said, if he continues to go later in drafts or for cheap auction dollars, pick him up and enjoy the healthy portions (just make sure you have depth behind him).
Starting July 13, Josh Rutledge (#140 Hitter, #20 2B, #19 SS) was one of the better middle infielders in the game. After his call-up, Rutledge batted .274/.306/.469 with eight HRs and seven SBs. He has never been seen as a top prospect, but has put up pretty solid minor league numbers – albeit with poor K:BB ratios. In the majors, Rutledge swung well above average (over 50% of the time) and chased a ton of balls out of the zone. He also swung and missed a lot. As such, he posted a miniscule walk rate and poor OBP. Still, if you aren't in an OBP league, that doesn't really matter as long as he has a decent-ish average. If Rutledge can maintain his contact rates, he should be fine. However, if pitchers throw him balls in even greater numbers next season and he doesn't adjust, you could see quite a decline in performance. As a late round grab, Rutledge makes a lot of sense and should get to 15/15; however, if you're relying on him, you're being a bit riskier than I like.
Cliff Pennington (#147 Hitter, #23 SS, #22 2B) was covered in the shortstop breakdown here.
The Dustin Ackley (#207 Hitter, #29 2B, #47 1B) ranking might be a tad low, but, in fairness, he did bat .226 last season. Still, for his major league career he has a .290 BABIP, .243/.314/.360 line – not great, but not horrible if he can help other places. Last season, Ackley took a step back in the line drive department and hit more balls on the ground, which can account for a slight decline in his BABIP, but not the total drop from .339 to .265. The .339 was probably over his head, but .265 seems incredibly light for a solid player with decent speed. In addition, Ackley took a small step forward in HR/FB rate last season. With the walls coming in and Ackley getting a year older, he might be able to push a double digit HR/FB rate. If so, you're looking at 15+ HRs with 17 SBs. He could easily bat right around .250 as well. It isn't overly sexy, but there's a lot around Ackley that suggests he could improve on 2012. Now might be the ideal time to get him on the cheap in keeper/dynasty leagues.
Tyler Greene (#231 Hitter, #32 2B, #31 SS) is battling with Marwin Gonzalez for the Astros starting shortstop job – seriously. After a few interesting partial seasons in the Cardinals minor league system, he found himself basically sold to Houston. Since 2009, Greene has gotten limited duty in the majors. He was 25 then and is 29 now—in between, he managed an uninspiring .224/.292/.356 line with 28 SBs in 266 games. Still, last season was the first he managed to appear in more than 60 games, albeit they were split between Houston and St. Louis. In Houston, Greene batted .246/.278/.460 with three steals (39 games). If he wins the battle, you're looking at a sneaky 20 stolen base season. He might even chip in 10 or so HRs. The average might be hard to stomach, as he swings and misses a ton.
In his first real taste of the bigs, Stephen Lombardozzi (#311 Hitter, #46 2B, #49 3B, #151 OF) put up a decent line: .273/.317/.354. He doesn't have playing time now, but Ian Desmond hasn't been the picture of health and Danny Espinosa is going into the season hurt. In 2011, Lombardozzi stole 30 bases across 130 games at AA and AAA. With playing time in the majors he could end up with a stealthy 15-20 SBs. Unless you're in a dynasty league or need to hedge against an Espinosa injury, Lombardozzi probably isn't for you. However, he does fit around the diamond for the team and could find himself with playing time if there are injuries to any number of players.

Michael thinks that the skirt of Jay's dress should have been bigger, so that it would look intentional. Nobody wants a big butt.
They love that Emilio put the structure in his dress. Nina loved how he worked the fabric. Heidi loves glitter, but needs it to be the right kind of glitter. Which Emilio's fabric was.
Nina thinks that Mila's dress was something the Real Housewives of New Jersey (take that, Bravo!) would wear. Michael thinks that the cut was very unflattering. Jessica also found it more cocktail party than red carpet. Heidi admires Mila's skills but wonders if they want to see more from her.
The decision is made. The designers return to the stage. There's not a winner for this challenge. There are two!! First, it's Emilio. Heidi can't wait to wear it. Jessica announces the second winner. It's Anthony! She asks if she can wear the dress. He's thrilled. The two winners leave the stage. Emilio says that this is where he wanted to be. Anthony, of course, is stunned. He can't believe that upon coming back he would win a challenge and have Jessica Alba wear his dress. Seth Aaron is in. Mila is in. Wha? That's effed.
Heidi tells Jay that his dress was not flattering. She tells Jonathan that the front of his dress was a mess. Jay is... in. BOO. boo. Seriously. I'm so upset with this season now. Not even because Jonathan and Amy were my favorite personalities (well, plus Anthony). They were also the ones who made the most exciting clothes, in my opinion. Without getting nasty about the other designers, I think that Jonathan was mature and thoughtful and intelligent in his design (heh, intelligent design). He interviews that he's not surprised to be eliminated. He doesn't believe that he could compete with a gown he made in two hours.
Backstage, he gets hugs from everyone. He interviews that he's very proud of how far he made it in the competition. Tim leads him away and he says that he didn't kick as much ass as he wanted, but he's going to hold his head high. Jonathan, I, uh, think we should be friends.
Jeff Long is a writer/actor in Brooklyn. He can be reached for friendship by the eliminated Jonathan at firstname.lastname@example.com

High Flight by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee Jr. RCAF (9 June 1922 – 11 December 1941):
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent lifting mind I have trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Techcrunch today published a post "Women Don't Want To Run Startups Because They'd Rather Have Children" . Well, though I sympathize with the woman in the post,I do not agree with the tone of the article.
She takes her experience and generalizes it to all women, which is just taking it to the extreme.
I think ultimately what she wants to say is that,
"Its tough to be a woman, and its tough to run a startup". Big deal.
Its tough to run a startup. Period. Does not matter whether you are a man or a woman.
And she seems to assume that bringing up a child is just the woman's job. It's not. And thats why we humans have created a family structure.So that both parents take care of the kid.If I start to write about how difficult it has been for me to both be a young dad as well as drive a startup, it would become a novel :)
Actually, in the middle of the post she writes "It's hard to not be the center, but I want to be the center of my family."(emphasis mine). She wanted to be the center of her family and nothing else. Thats the choice she made and its the choices we make that define us.She can now be defined as a great mother and not a good entrepreneur, and thats just fine.Its actually OK to be just a great mother and nothing else. But not everyone has to make that choice. Some could actually choose to be the center of their family and also the center of their startup. Just work harder for the first years of the kid.
But I do agree that men certainly have an advantage in the startup world. In our work culture we have the concept of maternity leave, where we hold the job for a woman until she finishes her pregnancy and then she can come back and join the workforce and continue from where she left off. In the startup world, the world just moves on :)
Just had to put my thoughts out. Don't worry, next week we will be back to cloud telephony.

Mr Ecclestone, president of Formula One Management Ltd has recognised how important a grounding in karts is to lengthy career in motorsport and has endorsed Formula Kart Stars giving us the strapline "The road to Formula 1 through racing and education." Although karting can take up a lot of weekends, you have to remember that your schooling is more important than any race.
The most important thing is to enjoy your karting. It's a great sport and the whole family can be involved. Even though FKS is a championship for junior drivers there is no rule against mum or dad buying a kart and having a go themselves. When you move into Seniors you never know, you might end up racing against the whole family!
So, if after looking at Formula Kart Stars you think racing is what you want to do, give it a go.
See you on the track!

If you had asked me last week to name my favorite Richard Gere moment, I would have taken a long pause before finally deciding on that scene in the 1980s movie American Gigolo when he shimmied in his boxers as he paired his ties to shirts. What can I say? I've always appreciated a man who cares about his appearance.
Much more so, I appreciate a man who speaks out in favor of compassionate actions for animals—so it makes perfect sense that my new favorite Richard Gere moments happened very recently and in real life. According to the New Zealand Herald, the actor, who is a Buddhist, marched with hundreds of monks and activists to support efforts by Tibetans for a Vegetarian Society to transform Bodhgaya, in the Indian state of Bihar, into a vegetarian zone. "Bodhgaya is a pious place and I want to come here again," Mr. Gere said, adding, "I am with the people who have launched this campaign."
It makes perfect sense that Bodhgaya, believed by Buddhists to be where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment around 500 B.C., be "vegetized" in keeping with Buddhism's message of peace. After all, opposition to the taking of life is a core principle of Buddhism.
The founder of Tibetans for a Vegetarian Society, Tenzin Kunga Luding, notes that Gere's participation in and support of the march "has helped the cause a lot," and he adds, "This most sacred land will act as a model for other places to emulate and will impart more positive influence for the well-being of all humans, animals, and the environment."

The first Renault Clio was introduced 20 years ago and there have been many updates, the major ones being in 1998, 2001, 2005, and 2008. The car is available as a hatchback, a saloon, a sports tourer and a Renaultsport.
The Clio is a small family car with plenty of space. It is also sophisticated and refined and has some of the best safety features of any car in its class. The 2005 model received a five star rating in the Euro NCAP crash tests. It is a car with plenty of street credibility too.
Depending on the vintage of your used Renault Clio, there are a large number of options when it comes to choosing the engine and the trim. There are several petrol and diesel units which offer a range of performance and economy levels, and a choice of five and six speed manual and automatic gearboxes.
The appeal of the Clio is quite general. It is as much at home as a small family car as it is as a town car, with a special appeal to the younger driver. It is fun to drive and a very practical car. It is also very affordable.
The Clio is a very popular car and there is a wide choice used Clio models to suit any budget. Whether you are seeking to buy one from an approved Renault dealer, an independent trader or a private seller, Motors.co.uk can find a great deal on a used Renault Clio near you.
The fastest Clio is the Renaultsport model. This is essentially a highly tuned Clio, with a few extras and a more aerodynamic appearance. The 2.0 litre engine develops 200 bhp which is sufficient to power this little car from 0 to 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds. The updated suspension and body kit adds stability and the car can handle twisting country roads with ease.

City Council:

Background and Description
The City of Monterey is committed to supporting and promoting alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling, walking and transit. In 2009 the City Council adopted a Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) which, due to budget constraints, did not address pedestrian facilities and circulation and end of use bicycle facilities. In recognition of the need to enhance mobility options for residents and visitors, the 2009 BTP will be expanded to address all bicycle, pedestrian and transit rider needs. In February 2012, the City of Monterey received a Community-Based Transportation Planning grant from Caltrans to develop the City of Monterey Multi-Modal Mobility Plan (MMMP).
The project area includes the City of Monterey, and will focus on linking surrounding regional facilities, the City's mixed-use areas, visitor destinations, recreation and open space areas, educational facilities, and residential neighborhoods. The MMMP will maximize linkages between each planning area and destinations outlined above and create a comprehensive, citywide plan that will further the goals to maintain, manage, and enhance the movement of goods and people; and to spur the economic development and growth, job creation, and trade.
Planning Process
Form Advisory Committee –
The first step of the planning process was to form an Advisory Committee of key stakeholders who will guide the development of the draft Multi-Modal Mobility Plan and public outreach strategy.
Policy Analysis/Field Strategy –
Advisory Committee and City staff review of existing local and regional policy that might affect or shape the Multi-Modal Mobility Plan, and development of a public outreach strategy and field work strategy: Field walks and interviews to identify user needs and infrastructure in need of improvement
Data Collection –

Mayoral Limo

I often wonder when I see �1million plus of limos around Druid Street for a City Hall mayors' meeting whether a simple(?) option would be for a quick piece of legislation that says anyone in a public office can only have access to an average priced car - say at Mondeo level. Exceptions could be built in for those with security issues such as PM, Home Secretary etc but do wonder why mayors, senior emergency service personnel etc. feel it is ok to be ferried around in a Lexus or BMW - after all both London Mayors used the Tube and bikes.
It could work like the current proposal on benefits cap and I am sure would be supported by the bishops!

I notice that someone puts A4 notes under windshield wipers 'Council Tax pays for this extravagance' - which the chauffeur comes out of Southwark Council offices to remove. The truth annoys?

Another day and the mayoral limo is blocking Barnham Street (passing vehicles having to mount pavement on East side of street, damaging pavement).
Paul Tuesday 10 April 2012 3.45pm
And at 16:15 both the mayor and deputy mayor have their limos parked in Barnham Street. Let them eat cake?
Paul Monday 30 April 2012 2.02pm
I hear that all the notes put on the mayors personal chauffeur driven limousine are in a file at 160 Tooley Street. I guess the police have nothing better to do than be called in by the mayor with a view to pursuing a charge of criminal damage.

"Imagine being able to take your favourite edit view, such as a drum or list editor, from one sequencer application to another. Or the capability to easily add new views or editors to applications that previously had none". "Open Plug-In Technology" is designed to meet these needs.
Well there it is. Quite a revolutionary concept and one that has already been adopted by Cakewalk with their new SONAR 2 release (see story). Yamaha are talking to all other major software houses and developers right now. The signs are good and we for one hope that this really takes off.

Holiday named to USA Men's Select Team
Follow @JRFingerCSN
Jrue Holiday and Sixers' teammate Andre Iguodala could be on opposite sidelines this summer.
That's because Holiday was added to the 2012 USA Select Team that will train against the U.S. Olympic team next week in Las Vegas.
"In naming Jrue to our Select Team we've added an athletic guard who can get to the rim and someone who is also a good three-point shooter," USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in a release. "Both those skills will be invaluable in helping prepare our National Team for this summer."
Team USA will train in Las Vegas on July 6 through July 11 and will face the Dominican Republic in an exhibition on July 12. On July 13 the team will move its training camp to Washington D.C., which culminates with an exhibition game against Brazil at the Verizon Center on July 16.
Following the game the team will resume its camp in Barcelona.
First Colangelo and USA coach Mike Krzyzewski will have to select a final roster and Iguodala is a strong possibility to make the team for the games in London. Picked as one of the 20 finalists, Iguodala's chances at making the final cut have improved because of injuries to other players. Notably, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are out for the 2012 Olympics, along with finalist and top draft pick, Anthony Davis.
That leaves 15 players for 12 spots. Along with Iguodala, the possibilities for Team USA are: Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Durant, Rudy Gay, Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin, James Harden, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Lamar Odom, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and Deron Williams.
The team will be announced during a live broadcast on NBA TV on July 7.
Max deal for Holiday?
Meanwhile, a report from Yahoo! Sports indicates that Holiday will seek a max contract with his next deal. Holiday has one year left on his current contract and will earn $2.67 million next season.

Earlier this year, the Rick Rubin-produced, folk-country Born Free followed suit. The album features Zac Brown on "Flyin' High," Trace Adkins on "Rock Bottom Blues" and, on the standout track "Collide," both Sheryl Crow and Rock's childhood idol, Bob Seger.
And that's just the musical side of things. Watching the economy of Detroit — and the nation as a whole — go bust, Kid Rock decided to get involved. First, he rescued, then reinvigorated, failing Michigan clothing company Made In Detroit, putting a whole new staff back to work with street-smart designs.
"We even have a Rosie the Riveter shirt on our site," he says. "That was a company that was close to me when I was growing up, but it was going bankrupt and being sold. So I went and bought it, just because I didn't want to see it die. And I'm not making a dime from it, not a penny, not that I don't plan to one day. But right now I'm trying to show that there's some good shit going on in Michigan, and there are ways that we can help out and actually have fun while we're doing it." Which was also the thinking behind Kid Rock launching his own signature beer, Badass American Lager, brewed locally with water from the Saginaw aquifer. In this case, he started the line out of spite. "I was angry that Budweiser, Coors and some of our greatest American companies sold out, at a time when this country needed them most," he vents. "I don't know about a lot of things, but I know about music, and I know about beer. So I came up with one with no aftertaste, no frills. You don't need to put a lemon in it. Our ads feature a Badass bottle with this old rusted-out truck with no tires sitting on it, and it says 'That's the only way you'll ever see a lemon on it!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a superb set of wines from Giorgio Rivetti. The 2008 Barbareschi are among the strongest wines of the year, while the 2007 Barolo Campe is the best wine to emerge from Rivettis vineyards in Grinzane Cavour. The La Spinetta style focusing on wines of great textural richness remains intact,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Precocious, seductive red and black fruits intermixed with some subtle smoke and wood spice are followed by a velvety-textured, opulent, voluptuous wine that is surprisingly well-formed already...."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Brunate emerges from the glass with a vivid, kaleidoscopic bouquet redolent of pine, sage, spices, new leather and licorice. There is gorgeous detail and nuance in the glass. The 2008 is a refined Brunate that shows the pedigree of this great site in its intensity. The tannins are..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The exceptional freshness of the 2010 vintage is more than apparent here with a restrained and cool nose of intensely earthy red and dark berry fruit aromas that also display forest floor and humus notes. There is outstanding concentration to the extract-rich broad-shouldered flavors that display..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Romirasco offers up a refined bouquet of spices, menthol, plums, prunes and French oak. This is an especially rich, sensual Barolo from Conterno. The Romirasco spends an additional 3-4 months in oak than the other single-vineyard Barolos, and in 2006 the wine seems especially..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This behemoth possesses massive extraction, an opaque purple color, huge density, extreme tannins, and a nearly endless finish. Everything is there, but the highly extracted style and off the chart tannins ensures that no one over the age of forty will ever see this wine hit full maturity...
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2000 vintage of Rivetti's best wine received 98 points from The Wine Spectator. The 2001 has even more stuffing and structure, if that can be imagined. A true Grand Cru Barolo!
Cellar/Tasting Notes The finest Canon since the 1982, the 2009 (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) reveals a dense blue/purple color along with a classic nose of chalk dust, blueberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and loaded with an inner framework of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Robert Parker: "This classic, backward, tannic St.-Julien is made in the style of the 1996 and 1986. The 2006 Ducru Beaucaillou possesses a dense purple color along with a sweet perfume of graphite, black raspberries, cassis, licorice, and subtle toasty oak. Despite their prominent place in the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense purple-colored 2006 boasts an extraordinary perfume of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, burning embers, and a sensation that can only be described as like walking through a damp forest on a hot, humid day.

text: I am very excited to see the second story I selected for the "Warrior" theme, "Live By The Sword," by Andrew Knighton, is now available at Wiley Writers -- both in audio and text versions. I really liked this story -- which captured at once the more traditional gladiator tales with something much more unusual; compassion and generosity. Knighton illustrates the commitment warriors make to one another – even when they are gladiator slaves from different countries forced to fight against a common enemy and sometimes against each other. Magic and art, warriors and monsters. Yeah...great story.

As Brazil remains a laggard in Latin America, more U.S. investors are pulling money from funds that track the emerging-market giant.
But portfolio managers aren't convinced that such a shift is short-term performance chasing. Rather, they see longer-term political and economic problems facing Brazil.
"The immediate problem is that China looks less likely to turn into Brazil's long-term savior," says Lee Munson, chief investment officer at Portfolio LLC, an advisory firm in Albuquerque, N.M. that manages about $200 million in assets. "But the bigger picture is that people are realizing there are other intriguing markets in Latin America."
The $9 billion iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ), the most popular of its kind tracking Latin America, saw outflows of $269.4 million in the three months through January, according to Morningstar. In contrast, the iShares MSCI Mexico (EWW) attracted $596 million in net inflows while the iShares MSCI Peru (EPU) had $117.1 million in positive flows during that same period. Another member of BlackRock Inc.'s BLK -0.27% (BLK) iShares family covering Chile also has been racking up inflows.
Meanwhile, the performance of the large-cap dominated Brazil ETF has been badly lagging many of its smaller regional rivals, both in the past 12 months as well as the last three years.
"Brazil has some strong cross currents that are developing into real head winds for investors," says Paul Christopher, chief international investment strategist at Wells Fargo WFC +0.65% Advisors. The advisory arm of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) runs about $8 billion in assets through ETF-managed portfolios. More…

Chocolate coconut slice
Moving house is not fun. In fact I read somewhere that it's the third most stressful thing you can do, after death and divorce. Yep, that sounds about right. But I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel of boxes when my pantry was unpacked and the recipe books were settled on the bookcase.
So it's time to get my cooking mojo on in the new kitchen!
Everyone seems to love this simple slice and I'm always asked for the recipe. Which doesn't surprise me considering I asked my friend Jodie for the recipe the first time I tasted it!
Chocolate coconut slice
Preparation time: barely 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
1 cup self-raising flour
1 cup coconut
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 Tbs cocoa powder
125g butter, melted
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease and line a small slice tray with baking paper. Mix all ingredients until well combined. Press into slice tray and bake for 25 minutes. Cover with chocolate icing while still hot and sprinkle with coconut. Allow to cool before serving.
Chocolate icing
300g icing sugar
20g cocoa powder
3 tsp butter, softened
2 Tbs milk (or more if needed)
Combine all ingredients and add additional milk until the icing is smooth in consistency and easy to spread.

Dianna Agron & Kelly Osbourne: Jack White Concertgoers!
Good music and celebs go hand-in-hand, and Wednesday night's (May 30) Jack White concert in Los Angeles brought out some of Tinseltown's young hot stars.
Ready for a night of fun, "Glee" beauty Dianna Agron and beau Sebastian Stan were spotted arriving to the Wiltern Theatre just ahead of the show.
Also attending the nighttime gig was E! Fashion Police star Kelly Osbourne, who was snapped hanging on the arm of her long-haired man.
As for the musician himself, White recently opened up about his choice to leave The White Stripes, telling Interview magazine, "That's a good question. [laughs] I ask myself that all the time. Sometimes things last for a finite period, and I just didn't feel like it was the right thing to keep playing anymore, so we had to put a stop to it. But also, I didn't want to go out and make solo records if The White Stripes still existed. I thought that people would be too confused by the two ideas and a lot of people wouldn't be able to get their head around it. So, in a sense, it was something that was bound to happen one day. But I'm sad about it all the time."
Enjoy the pictures of Dianna Agron and Jack White at the Jack White concert in LA (May 30).

Biblical Apologetics for Real Life!
by Ken Ham, Dr. Terry Mortenson and Dr. Jason Lisle
96 page Softcover
Ages: Teen–Adult (2005)
Additional student workbooks for the Answers Academy curriculum have been reduced in price almost 20% to help schools and Churches needing bulk purchases.
These inexpensive booklets are important companions to the Answers Academy. They provide introductory information related to each lecture, helpful guides for taking notes, and review questions that can be used for grades or to stimulate followup discussion. Suggested reading and activities are also included. ___________________________________________________________
Are we losing an entire generation? Modern teens don't know what to believe about the Bible and Christianity. Fortunately, they earnestly want to know the truth!
The purpose of the Answers Academy apologetics curriculum is to equip viewers of all ages to answer the questions the world is asking about the authority and accuracy of the Bible. During the thirteen illustrated lessons included with the full curriculum kit, your class or small group will discover why it is vital to provide logical answers to skeptics, and how to give those answers with a solid understanding of what the Bible says about geology and astronomy. Viewers will learn that, contrary to popular belief, operational science runs counter to the idea of evolution and "millions of years." The facts of nature, rightly interpreted, provide an irrefutable case for the accuracy and trustworthiness of the book that claims to be the inspired Word of the Creator Himself!

DURHAM – Coach Joe Kilby started his Apex tenure in winning fashion Friday night as the Cougars notched a thrilling 18-13 come-from-behind victory against Durham Riverside in non-conference action.
Apex, which trailed 13-0 at halftime, needed a late defensive stop deep in its territory to preserve the impressive comeback win.
Trailing by five points, the Pirates (0-2) drove 80 yards to the Apex 3 yard line with less than a minute left. But a personal foul penalty and a 15-yard sack by the Cougars' Colton Rogers nullified the threat.
Riverside opened the scoring in the second quarter as quarterback Johnnie Bass reached pay dirt on an 18-yard run for a 6-0 lead.
Less than two minutes later, Marqualess Goldston returned a punt 16 yards for a touchdown to boost the lead to 13-0.
Apex nearly gave the game away on its next possession by fumbling on its own 9 yard line. But disaster was averted when Durham returned the favor two plays later with a fumble.
Apex got on the scoreboard with 5:09 remaining in the first half when running back Jereme Cleare scored on a 6-yard run. The PAT failed.
Cleare closed the gap to a single point on another 6-yard touchdown run with 9:28 remaining in the fourth quarter. Once again the PAT failed.
Riverside fumbled on its next possession and the Cougars wasted little time in taking advantage of the miscue.
Quarterback Jordan Betts scored on a one-yard keeper for an 18-13 lead with 7:49 left in the game.
Apex hosts Lee County on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

A public flogging ought to evoke some cheers.
I've known Mary personally and professionally for years. She's intelligent, hardworking, passionate about Oregon, and would do a tremendous job for her constituents. District 46 residents would be lucky to have her working for them.
So you sincerely believe that the fact that Brandon Davies has a white girlfriend has nothing to do with it? http://withleather.uproxx.com/2011/03/brandon-davies-has-a-white-girlfriend
Please. He was turned in by someone with an agenda.
Are the attendees wearing fragrances? If so, you might get the city to jump right on this problem.
If you let Nike in, they'll just end up outfitting the Blazers in those Gatorade-colored socks. We can't have that, sorry.
Let's put 'ol Ward in a wood chipper and spray him on a canvas. Sell that.

Raymond CHING New Zealand b.1939 Raymond Ching, who was born in Wellington, New Zealand, is considered one of New Zealands greatest contemporary bird and figure painters. After dropping out of high school aged twelve, Ching gained an internship at an advertising practice, eventually working his way up to art director. However, Ching eventually grew dissatisfied with this occupation and turn his focus into becoming a full-time painter. His favoured subject matter at the time was birds, after Ching had become especially fascinated with a collection of stuffed hummingbirds which he discovered during a school trip to the museum whilst at primary school. Such an insignificant experience soon evolved into the main focus of Chings artistic career. Ching first exhibited his bird paintings in Auckland in the 1960s. His first exhibition, Thirty Birds, in 1968 was a sell-out, with Ching attracting the attention of Sir William Collins of Collins Publishing. Sir William, a keen ornithologist, invited Ching to the United Kingdom to produce a book of his bird paintings. However, upon his arrival, Ching also came into contact with the publishers of The Readers Digest who, along with Collins Publishing, intended to produce a major book on the birds of Britain. Ching was commissioned to paint 230 full-colour studies, and The Readers Digest Book of British Birds, published in 1969, became the worlds most successful and biggest selling ornithological book. This enthusiastic reception led Ching to produce a series of natural history books, including The Bird Paintings in 1978, The Art of Raymond Ching in 1981, Wild Portraits in 1988, and Kiwis in 1990. Ching adopted a scientific approach to these bird paintings, with the artist frequently going out into the field to study the birds in flight and in their natural habitat. Ching is also known to work from stuffed birds in his studio. Now settled in Wiltshire, Ching continues to paint birds and animals, as well as remarkable life-like portraits. Working primarily in oils and watercolours, Chings works are incredibly detailed with an almost photographic quality. Merging realism with fictional compositions, Ching slowly builds up his paintings layer upon layer, often leaving the underdrawing peeking through the transparent paint. Ching exhibits regularly in New Zealand and around the world, including Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in the USA; Brighton Art Gallery and Museum, England; and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. His paintings are held in numerous private and public collections, such as the National Museum of Wildlife Art in the USA, and portraits from his exhibition A True Story are held in the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. |
