Optimised formulations for use in drinking water!
In close collaboration with our nutritionists we offer liquid solutions for problems with nutrient supply in times of stress (vaccination, diseases, heat, feed transition, etc.) for birds and poultry populations.
For this purpose we offer a liquid product range for application via drinking water. Within the lifecycle of our birds and poultry there are phases where it is possible that the demand for nutrients is not covered by feed.
This includes times of insufficient nutrient uptake, occurring especially in young animals as well as in stress situations (climate, housing, transport, change of feed, diseases) or during phases of increased nutrient requirements, for example in periods of fast growth, in case of subclinical diseases, after veterinary treatment or prior to vaccination.
Optimised formulations for birds developed in co-operation with veterinarians for:

A truckload of Diddy's precious Ciroc Vodka was said to have gotten jacked earlier today (November 7th) in Memphis, Tennessee. The truck contained the first shipment of Ciroc Peach for local businesses in the area. A number of locals took to Twitter to talk about the highjacking, although no official reports have been made or released.
This could be a publicity stunt, or an actual crime...time will tell. Wonder what Diddy thinks?

Relax, Mets fans. Terry Collins isn't going to be here forever.
The Mets' former minor-league field coordinator was introduced to the media during a morning press conference at Citi Field today, where he undoubtedly received a better reception than he would have had the most vocal components of the team's fan base been allowed to attend.
What those unhappy fans need to understand is that Collins has been hired as the team's new manager for reasons that have more to do with his personality than any perception of his managerial acumen. Collins is the new Mets' manager primarily because General Manager Sandy Alderson believes that he is the best man to completely overhaul a clubhouse that has been described with just about every negative perception you can imagine in recent weeks.
Collins was officially given a two-year contract to manage the Mets, with a club option for 2013. Don't be surprised if the Mets choose to decline that option when the time comes and reward Collins by putting him in the front office instead. He was not hired to manage the next Mets team that plays in the World Series.
He was hired to manage a team that first needs to be taught how to play winning baseball.
When you read or listen to the words of people in the know, the Mets' problems go far beyond a top-heavy roster filled with bad contracts and mediocre players. There is a serious culture concern about the Mets' clubhouse, one that has nothing to do with the "Los Mets" phenomenon observed under former GM Omar Minaya.
The Mets, under the leadership of Minaya and former manager Jerry Manuel, have lost their hunger. They have become comfortable – complacent, even, despite the losing records of the previous two years. The team has been undisciplined, lacking in motivation and has generally behaved as though there would be no consequences to their actions.
Those days are over.
Think of Alderson's decision to hire Collins as being akin to the attack on Fort Sumter that began the Civil War. Alderson's front office is sending a clear message to the current roster – "you aren't going to get away with the unprofessional behavior you've gotten away with in the past."
That's where Collins comes in. He has previous managerial experience in Houston and Southern California, where he managed the Angels for parts of three seasons before resigning in late 1999 after repeated clashes with his players. Collins hasn't managed in the big leagues since, although he has managed teams in Japan and an independent league.
Collins was hired for who he is – a baseball lifer and a fiery personality with no tolerance for a bad attitude. Collins is going to set a particular tone from the first day he steps on the field during the Spring Training. A baseball player wearing a New York Mets jersey will play the game hard, will play the game right and will respect the chain off command in the organization.
If he does not, Terry Collins will work with Sandy Alderson to ensure that the player will no longer be a New York Met.
This process was never about hiring the best tactical manager or the brightest up-and-coming star. That's why Bobby Valentine was never called and Wally Backman is at yet another career crossroads today. Terry Collins has been handed a clean-up job, and every single player in the Mets organization should be on notice.
Get in line with what Terry wants, or get ready to leave town.
Dallas Green was thrust into a similar role when he replaced Jeff Torborg as the Mets manager in 1993. It took Green nearly three years to clean up that mess and doing so completely changed the culture of the organization. Valentine took over in late 1996 and the seeds of a successful four-year run were ready to bloom.
(One could certainly debate that Green's abrasive demeanor and tactical shortcomings made that process more difficult and confrontational than necessary, but that comes with the territory when you hire Dallas Green.)
Terry Collins is in the same role today as Green was over 15 years ago. Any Mets fan who seriously thinks that this team is one or even two players away from a 90-win season hasn't been paying attention. The Mets can't focus on winning games in 2011 – the roster is too thin and too cash-strapped as a result of bad free agent signings for the team to seriously compete with Atlanta or Philadelphia.
No, the Mets have to focus on identifying which players they want on their team for 2012 and beyond. The expiring contracts of Carlos Beltran, Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo alone free up over $30 million. Should the Mets decide to part ways with Jose Reyes and Francisco Rodriguez during or after the 2011 season, nearly $25 million more would become available.
Only then will the Mets be ready to add a starting pitcher to a rotation that could feature Johan Santana, Mike Pelfrey and Jon Niese behind him. Only then can the team look to add two position players to a lineup featuring David Wright, Jason Bay and Ike Davis.
By then, the Mets hope Collins will have helped integrate young players like Josh Thole, Ruben Tejada and Jenrry Mejia into an environment where winning is the only priority. Collins can then give way to the next Mets manager, the man who will be given the reins of a championship-caliber ballclub.
Terry Collins has a job to do, all right – and it's a lot more important than winning games in 2011.

By Thomas Hauser: On July 7, 2001, Paulie Malignaggi made his pro debut at Keyspan Park in Brooklyn. Even then, he had a mouth. Two days before the fight, he told Tom Gerbasi, "I'm boxing's next superstar. Paulie Malignaggi is going to make it up the ladder quickly. I'm going to win multiple titles. I'm going to explode on the scene. I'm looking to make a big splash. And once you see me, I'm going to be here for a while."
Paulie's opponent that night was Thadeus Parker. It was Parker's first and last fight as a pro.
"I was real nervous before the fight," Malignaggi remembers. "Then, in the ring when the referee was giving us instructions, I looked into Parker's eyes and saw that he didn't want to be there either. I stopped him in the first round, which, let's be honest, hasn't happened for me too many times. After that, I showered and walked around the stadium feeling like a celebrity."
That feeling lasted until Paulie arrived at the post-fight party and wasn't allowed in because he was underage.
"Two guys stopped me at the door," he recalls. "They were nice about it but they were like, 'Sorry; you're not twenty-one.' Finally, Dave Itskowitch [who worked for promoter Lou DiBella at the time] got there and convinced them to let me in."
"I've got so many memories of that weekend," Paulie continues. "I remember checking in at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Battery Park the day before the fight. In my whole life, I'd never had anything more than a single room in a hotel. At Embassy Suites, I had a bedroom and small living room, which I thought was the coolest thing in the world. Petey [longtime friend Pete Sferazza] and I picked up two roundcard girls who were checking in at the same time. We saw them a few times afterward, but nothing came of it. On the day of the fight, I went for a walk after lunch and passed the World Trade Center. I thought about going up to the top to see the view. Then I said to myself, 'No; I'm fighting tonight. I should go back to the hotel and get some rest. I'll come back another time. The Twin Towers will always be here.' And you know what happened. Two months later, the Twin Towers were gone."
The preceding paragraphs could serve as a metaphor for Paulie Malignaggi's journey through boxing: Win . . . Get barred at the door . . . Keep fighting . . . Win some more . . . Dreams crumble . . . Don't give up . . .Time moves on.
Paulie isn't one of the kids anymore. He has been fighting professionally for eleven years and will be thirty-two years old in November.
Malignaggi has style. What he doesn't have is a one-punch equalizer. His record shows seven knockouts in 36 pro fights. That means he builds his victories by avoiding firefights and adding up the points round-by-round-by-round.
Steve Kim writes, "It can be argued very easily that Malignaggi's personality is more entertaining than most of his prizefights. Not only does he have the gift of jab but the gift of gab."
Other observers have been less kind.
"It's frustrating to give so much of myself in so many ways," Paulie says. "And then people who have never boxed a round in their life sit there and criticize me, like they're giving me a grade in school. Boxing isn't a report card. Boxing is life and death."
On June 10, 2006, after winning his first twenty-one fights, Malignaggi went into the lion's den to face a prime Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden on the eve of New York's annual Puerto Rican Day Parade.
Anthony Catanzaro (Paulie's business advisor and friend), recalls, "In the dressing room before the fight, we could hear the roars. And we knew it was not our crowd. Those people didn't just want Cotto to win. They wanted Paulie's blood."
They got it.
Malignaggi fought valiantly, winning four out of twelve rounds on two of the judges' scorecards and five on the third. But he suffered a brutal beating in the process.
"I was in the hospital afterward with a fractured orbital bone," Paulie says of that fight. "I had surgery on my face. People watch a fight and, when it's over, they turn off the TV and go to bed. The next day, they're out doing whatever they want to do. My whole life changed after that fight. I spent the whole summer recuperating."
A lot of people wrote Malignaggi off after he lost to Cotto. Not many fighters come back from a beating like that and are as good as they were before.
"Sometimes you get humbled and come back stronger," Paulie says.
One year later, on June 16, 2007, Malignaggi crafted a twelve-round shutout against Lovemore Ndou to capture the IBF 140-pound crown. It was his shining moment in boxing. Thereafter, he had two successful title defenses before being stopped by Ricky Hatton in the eleventh round. His record now shows four losses, each of them to a world champion (Cotto, Hatton, Juan Diaz, and Amir Khan).
On three occasions, Paulie's career has been sidetracked by a broken hand. He has permanent nerve damage in his face, a residue of the Cotto fight.
"Pain is temporary," he says. "Pride is forever."
Through it all, Malignaggi has kept fighting.
"Boxing is like a drug or a bad girlfriend," he told Tom Gerbasi two years ago. "Sometimes you get hooked and you realize that maybe it's a problem. But at the same time, the high you get off it is so good that you just keep coming back. There's nothing like the roar of the crowd in the middle of that violent atmosphere and being in a fight. It's a getaway from reality and there's nothing like the rush of adrenalin."
On April 29, 2012, Paulie traveled to Ukraine and dethroned WBA 147-pound titleholder Vyacheslav Senchenko in the ninth-round. Anyone who thinks that boxing's belts don't matter should think again. Beating Senchenko didn't make Malignaggi more marketable. But beating Senchenko for the WBA welterweight title did.
On October 20th, Paulie's journey through the sweet science brought him back to Brooklyn. The site was Barclay's Center, the recently-opened state-of-the-art arena that's home to the NBA Brooklyn Nets. His opponent was Pablo Cesar Cano of Mexico (26-1-1 with 20 KOs).
On August 5, 1931, "Slapsie" Maxie Rosenbloom (nicknamed for his lack of punching power – nineteen knockouts in 298 pro fights) defended his light-heavyweight title by outpointing Jimmy Slattery at Ebbetts Field. Until the October 20th card at Barclays, Rosenbloom-Slattery held the distinction of being the last world championship fight in Brooklyn.
That said; Brooklyn has a rich boxing tradition.
Barclays, Golden Boy (which promoted the October 20th show), and Showtime (which televised it) were quick to point out that there had been thirty-seven previous world title fights in Brooklyn. Heavyweight champions Floyd Patterson, Michael Moorer, Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, and Riddick Bowe were born in the borough. James J. Jeffries knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons at the Coney Island Athletic Club in 1899 to seize the heavyweight crown. John L. Sullivan, Joe Gans, Sugar Ray Robinson, Benny Leonard, Harry Greb, Tony Canzoneri, Sandy Saddler, Jake LaMotta, Abe Attell, Terry McGovern, Battling Nelson and Tommy Loughran all fought in Brooklyn.
The October 20th card was advertised as featuring four "world championship" fights, which enabled each of the four major sanctioning bodies to collect a sanctioning fee. In addition to Malignaggi-Cano, there was Danny Garcia vs. Erik Morales (WBC-WBA 140 pounds), Hassan N'Dam vs. Peter Quillin (WBO 160 pounds), and Randall Bailey vs. Devon Alexander (IBF 147 pounds).
Also, the "A" side of the undercard was heavy with Brooklyn fighters. That included Danny Jacobs (now making a heroic comeback from cancer); Luis Collazo (a former world champion who'd been plagued by lifestyle issues while compiling a 5-and-4 record over the previous seven years); Dmitriy Salita (a nice man, who has been marketed largely on the basis of his being an Orthodox Jew); Eddie Gomez (a talented but untested prospect from the Bronx); and Boyd Melson (a 31-year-old West Point graduate who's as good as he's going to get).
Malignaggi-Cano shaped up as the most competitive championship bout of the night. Ultimately, it became a non-title contest, when Pablo failed to make weight, tipping the scales at 147.8 pounds. There was talk of cancellation. But Cano agreed to give $50,000 of his $150,000 purse to Malignaggi (raising Paulie's stake to $400,000) and was required to weigh in again at 9:30 on Saturday morning at not more than 157 pounds.
The main event, Garcia vs. Morales, should have been cancelled.
There was a time when Morales could beat the best. No more. He has now had eleven fights in the past seven-and-a-half years and lost seven of them. At the August 30th kick-off press conference at the Marriott Hotel in Brooklyn, El Terrible looked terrible. His face was puffy and he was clearly overweight. Not just overweight for a fighter. Overweight. At the final pre-fight press conference, he looked old, tired, and beaten up. The betting odds ran as high as 10-to-1 against him.
Worse, two days before the fight, word leaked out that Morales had tested positive for clenbuterol. Twice.
The powers that be tried to put a good face on things. The fact that this was the first fight card at Barclays Center gave it a certain buzz. At the final pre-fight press conference, Oscar De La Hoya told the assembled media that tickets were selling like hotcakes and people had to act fast to get them while supplies lasted. Earlier in the day, Barclays had posted an announcement on its website stating that the first 250 Brooklyn residents with valid IDs who went to the box office between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm on Thursday or Friday would be given four complimentary tickets.
Giving away tickets for a fight is a pretty good indication that demand is lukewarm. Giving away four tickets per person is a pretty good indication that demand is frigid.
Paulie voiced confidence throughout the proceedings.
"I know what it's like to be young and motivated and have your whole future ahead of you," he said of his opponent. "I was twenty-three years old one time too. When you're young and the dream is in front of you, you can taste it every time you get in the ring. But Cano's future on Saturday night won't be what he wants it to be."
As for fighting in Brooklyn, Paulie declared, "Every fighter wants to have a big fight in his home town. All this talk about Brooklyn is good marketing, but it's also heartfelt. When I was a kid, I used to dream about fighting at Madison Square Garden. But that's because there wasn't a showcase arena in Brooklyn. Now that they've got Barclays Center, this is where I want to be."
Still, the experience was bittersweet. The October 20th fight posters featured photos of Garcia and Morales, not Malignaggi. In Paulie's fights against Cotto, Hatton, and Khan (his biggest previous outings), he'd been the "B" side of the promotion. This time, he wasn't even in the main event.
Malignaggi arrived at his dressing room on fight night at 7:10 pm. Trainer Eric Brown, Anthony Catanzaro, Umberto Malignaggi (Paulie's brother), and Pete Sferazza were with him. Over the next few hours, Steve Bash (Paulie's attorney), Zach Wohlman (a sparring partner and friend), and Victor Perrone (another friend) would join him.
The room was twelve-feet squared with a mirrored wall and formica counter that extended the full length of the enclosure. There were a half-dozen chairs and no lockers.
Paulie put on his boxing shoes and began shadow-boxing in front of the mirror. An earpiece ran from an iPod in his warm-up jacket to his ear. Hip-hop, Lloyd Banks, Shock the World. After shadow-boxing for several minutes, he sat on the floor with his back to the wall and started doing stretching exercises.
Golden Boy publicist Monica Sears entered and checked out Paulie's hair.
"I thought you said you were going to have a red streak."
"Next time," he told her. "If they cut down the interviews and all the other promotional stuff I have to do, I'll have time to do my hair."
At 7:55, Eric Brown began wrapping Paulie's hands. Normally, that would come later in the evening. But Brown also trains Peter Quillin, who'd be fighting Hassan N'Dam in the second Showtime fight of the night. Paulie was in the third. The meant adjusting normal routines and, for Eric, moving back and forth between dressing rooms.
"I know how much pressure there is when you fight for the title for the first time," Malignaggi had told the trainer earlier in the week. "Do what you have to do with Peter. I've been here before. I know what I have to do. Peter needs all the support he can get."
At 8:15, the first Showtime bout began; Randall Bailey vs. Devon Alexander. Bailey, the beltholder, was so disrespected that his name had been listed after Alexander's in pre-fight promotional material. He was a 6-to-1 underdog.
Paulie watched the action on a large flat-screen television mounted on the wall.
"Randall doesn't want to jab," Paulie told Umberto. "Randall doesn't want to throw combinations. All Randall wants to do is to land that one big righthand. But Randall doesn't have legs. Devon will box him smart."
The fight was painfully slow, with Alexander avoiding exchanges whenever possible en route to a unanimous decision triumph. Bailey set a CompuBox record for futility, landing only forty-five punches in twelve rounds.
At 9:15, Eddie Claudio (who would be refereeing N'Dam vs. Quillin appeared on the screen.
"Eddie refereed my first amateur fight in the Golden Gloves," Paulie noted. "That was a long time ago."
N'Dam-Quillin began. It was styled as a "championship" fight, although each man has found it hard to crack the top-ten in some middleweight rankings.
Paulie shadow-boxed on-and-off. When he sat, it was in relative isolation with the iPod running to his ear.
N'Dam had more heart than skill. Quillin knocked him down six times to prevail on each judge's scorecard.
In back-to-back fights, two belts had changed hands.
Eric Brown returned. At 10:15, he and Paulie began working the pads.
"You're the champ," the trainer exhorted. "Make him understand that. Make him swallow that jab. Make him gag on that jab. It's your night, baby. You're at home now. Go out and show Brooklyn what they've been missing."
When Paulie entered the ring, he conjured up images of the season's first Christmas tree. A red-white-and-green robe; red-and-white shoes with green laces; red-white-and-green tassels; and red-white-and-green trunks with red-white-and-green fringe (a lot of it).
Round one was a strategic feeling-out stanza. In round two, Malignaggi opened up a cut on Cano's left eyebrow and appeared to be where he wanted to be.
But at age thirty-two, Paulie isn't as slick as he once was. When he was young, he had fast hands, quick reflexes, good legs, a great boxing brain, and heart. Now he has slower hands, dimished reflexes, aging legs, a great boxing brain, and heart.
For most of the fight, Cano was the aggressor. He landed his share of low blows. But he also did damage with legitimate body shots and solid right hands up top. Paulie failed to jab effectively at times, particularly in the second half of the bout. He also got hit more often and with cleaner punches than a fighter of Pablo's caliber would have hit him with several years ago. And he didn't make Cano pay when Pablo missed.
By the middle rounds, Malignaggi looked tired. From that point on, he was often in strategic retreat. By round nine, Cano's body work was taking a toll. In round eleven, Pablo threw a righthand. It was the type of punch that a young Malignaggi would have seen coming and slipped. This one landed. For only the second time in his career, Paulie went down. He was on his feet quickly. But for many observors, the knockdown sealed the deal.
When it was over, Glenn Feldman scored the contest 118-109 for Cano. Judges Tom Miller and Nelson Vazquez gave Malignaggi the nod by a 114-113 margin.
Bobby Hunter of Fight Score Collector compiled the cards of twenty-nine members of the media who watched the bout. They favored Cano by a 19-to-8 margin with 2 draws. Of the eight media personnel who thought Malignaggi won, none gave him the nod by more than a single point.
According to CompuBox, Pablo outlanded Paulie 262 to 217 with a 165-to-57 edge in power punches. This writer scored the fight for Cano.
In the dressing room after the fight, Team Malignaggi was unanimous in voicing the view that the decision in Paulie's favor was well-deserved. But the evening's work had left its mark. There were ugly welts on Paulie's upper body. His face was bruised with purple blotches beneath each eye. Dried blood tricked down from a cut beneath his left eye.
Paulie took off his trunks and lay down on his back in a corner of the room. Several minutes later, he sat up and leaned against the wall. Pete Sferazza put a makeshift ice-pack on top of Paulie's head and another behind his neck.
"I was tired," Paulie said. "The body punches fucking hurt me. He didn't land the hook much. But he went low a lot and his right hand to the body got through somehow."
"He caught me on the knockdown," Paulie continued. "In the Cotto fight, as I was going down, I said to myself, 'Oh, shit. I'm going down.' It was like that here too. The difference is, this time, I felt I was winning the fight. All I had to do was get up and not get knocked out."
Paulie lay down again
"I need ice on my head but I've got the chills."
Umberto Malignaggi sat beside his brother. The final fight of the evening, Danny Garcia vs. Erik Morales. came on the television screen. Paulie sat up and watched the action.
Morales looked lethargic. There was a roll of flesh around his waist and he fought like a fighter who had come down hard from using clenbuterol. The outcome of the bout was a foregone conclusion from the first seconds of the opening round. Garcia ended matters with a left hook up top in the fourth stanza.
"Yes!" Paulie shouted as Morales hit the canvas. "Fuck that cheater."
So what's next for Malignaggi?
He needs a belt now to be marketable at the level he want to be at. Fortunately, he still has one. His dream fight is a rematch against Ricky Hatton. It wouldn't be for revenge. Paulie has nothing against Hatton personally. But he wants to set the record straight on a fight that he acknowledges losing but thinks he could and should have won. And the money would be big.
"I could have looked better," Paulie says of his performance against Cano. "I know that. Maybe the way I fought will give Ricky confidence and he'll fight me."
And then?
"I don't plan on fighting much longer," Paulie acknowledges. "The reason I'm still fighting is because I have a lot to prove to myself. I feel like I underachieved during my prime years. I'm a two-time world champion, but I had so many more goals that I set out for myself. When I turned pro, I told myself that I should reach for the stars. I wanted to accomplish things that are almost impossible to accomplish. With goals like that, you're bound to be disappointed. But those goals are what motivate me."
"There are certain things I'll always wish I'd done differently," Paulie says in closing. "Most people feel that way about their life. But whatever I've done is history, and I can't change it now. I have a lot of goals and not enough time to achieve them. But I'm still hungry and I want to achieve as much as I can before my career is over. When I've retired, maybe I'll appreciate what I've accomplished more than I do now."
Most fighters fall short of their dreams. Then again, so does almost everyone else.

Push To Help Minnesota Veterans Find Jobs Pays Off
ST. PAUL (AP) - An intensive effort to help Minnesota veterans find civilian jobs is paying off.
National Guard officials say most of the 2,700 soldiers from the "Red Bull" Division who returned from the Mideast last spring have found work. Of the more than 500 who returned without civilian jobs, only 35 are still looking for work.
Capt. Ron Jarvi Jr., who helps soldiers connect with unemployment resources, says it's a great accomplishment.
Guard officials didn't wait for the troops to come home. Instead, they took the help to them, overseas. Last spring, a team of military officials accompanied government, education and business leaders to Kuwait to help prepare troops for the job hunt. Once soldiers were stateside, efforts to connect them with job and education resources intensified.

Q: I have been treating for Algae/Chara about every two months throughout the summer although with fall approaching (and cooler temperatures) should I still be treating it or should I wait until spring? – Paul of Michigan
A: In general we suggest that you wait until water temperatures are above 60°F: Although the real answer is that you can treat Algae/Chara anytime it is actively growing. In most cases (in the Midwest) you can start treating algae as early as March or April and continue treatment through the month of October.
Treating for Algae/Chara: Chara, although it looks like a plant is actually just an erect from of Algae.
When treating for Chara and/or floating algae always take in to consideration the following:
- Benefits of Chara: Chara unlike planktonic and floating algae is not always an eyesore and can benefit your pond in many ways such as: naturally filtering the water, providing fish habitat, and preventing more aggressive plant grow. Chara can be selectively treated in swimming and fishing areas in larger bodies of water.
- Treatment Area: Only treat 1/3 of your pond at a time, waiting 7-10 days between treatments to minimize oxygen depletion caused by rotting vegetation.
- What Product Works Best: In almost every case we would suggest using liquid Algae Defense® due to its cost and effectiveness. Although if your pond contains Trout, Koi or Goldfish you must use Clipper™ to reduce the chance of a fish kill.
- The Best Time of Day For Treatment: Treat early on a calm sunny day; this will give you optimal conditions for your treatments to work.
Preventive Tips:
- Removing and/or raking dead Algae and Chara after a treatment (wait 5-7 days) can help prevent it from coming back in the future by removing excess nutrients.
- Always consider a proactive solution over a reactive one when possible consider aeration , natural bacteria and other alternatives for a long-term solution to your problems.

The Emancipation Proclamation's unforgettable lesson about presidential power
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
A century and a half ago, today, one of our nation's greatest presidents launched this nation on a "new birth of freedom." On January 1, 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all slaves in the rebellious South "are, and henceforward shall be, free." In that one stroke, the commander in chief did more than any American to live up to the promise, as he later described it at Gettysburg, that our new nation was "conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Sandwiched between remembrances of Fort Sumter on the one hand, and the coming 150th of Vicksburg and Gettysburg on the other, the Proclamation's anniversary has gone relatively unnoticed. But during this season of conflict between the executive and legislative branches, the Proclamation teaches an unforgettable lesson on the proper uses of presidential power.
Lincoln's greatness is inextricably linked to his broad vision of the executive. He invoked his authority as commander in chief and chief executive to conduct war, initially without congressional permission, when many were unsure whether secession meant war. He considered the entire South the field of battle. While he depended on congressional support for men and material, Lincoln controlled all tactics, strategy, and policy. Only Lincoln's broad interpretation of his commander in chief authority made the sweeping step of freeing the slaves possible.
Some have argued that Lincoln tragically violated the Constitution to save the Union. Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger called Lincoln a "despot" and political scientist Edward Corwin considered Lincoln to have assumed a "dictatorship."
These views echo arguments made during the Civil War itself, even by Republicans who believed that the Constitution could not address such an unprecedented conflict. And Lincoln surely claimed that he could draw on power beyond the Constitution in order to preserve the nation. As he wrote in 1864: "I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the constitution, through the preservation of the nation."
But Lincoln was no dictator. While he used his powers more broadly than any previous president, he was responding to a crisis that threatened the very life of the nation. Like Washington and Jackson before him, Lincoln relied on his constitutional duty to execute the laws, his power as chief executive, and his presidential oath as grants of power to use force, if necessary, against those who opposed the nation's authority.
Lincoln refused to believe that the Constitution withheld the power for its own self-preservation. But rather than seek a greater power outside the law, he believed that the Chief Executive Clause gave the authority to decide that secession justified war, and the wide range of measures he took in response: raising an army, invasion and blockade of the South, military government of captured territory, and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.
He issued the final emancipation proclamation, "by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against the authority and government of the United States."
He rooted the constitutional justification for the Emancipation Proclamation as "a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing said rebellion." While he remained clear that the war was "for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between" the United States and the rebel states, he freed 2.9 million slaves, 75 percent of all slaves in the United States and 82 percent of the slaves in the Confederacy.
Emancipation more than denied the South a vital resource. It also called black soldiers to the Union standard. Lincoln reported that his generals "believe the emancipation policy, and the use of colored troops, constitute the heaviest blow yet dealt to the rebellion." Black soldiers saved the lives of white soldiers, and, indeed, the lives of white civilians.
"You say you will not fight to free negroes," Lincoln wrote to critics. "Some of them seem willing to fight for you." But he emphasized that emancipation was not the goal, but the means.
When the war ended, "it will have been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost." When that day comes, Lincoln promised, "there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonet," they helped achieve victory.
At the same time, Lincoln's constitutional authority explains the Proclamation's careful boundaries. He did not free any slaves in the loyal states, nor did he seek to remake the economic and political order of Southern society. Emancipation would no longer hold once the fighting ceased, and the other branches could even frustrate it during the war. Congress might use its own constitutional powers to establish a different regime—a reasonable concern with Democratic successes in the 1862 midterm elections—and allow the states to restore slavery once the war ended.
Lincoln never claimed a broad right to end slavery forever; only the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution could do that. The Emancipation Proclamation remained only an exercise of the president's war power necessary to defeat the enemy.
The link between the Emancipation Proclamation and Lincoln's broad view of presidential power should cause us to reflect on current controversies over the executive. The presidency was meant to be weak at home and strong abroad.
As Alexander Hamilton wrote in "Federalist 70," it was to be that one part of government which could respond with "decision, activity, secrecy, and dispatch" to unforeseen crises and emergencies, the most dangerous of which was war. In "Democracy in America," Alexis de Tocqueville observed that the presidency was a cypher that would become a great office only once foreign affairs became important to the United States.
Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, and his expansion of presidential power, sits firmly within the Framers' vision. As we await another inauguration, the latest occupant of the Oval Office could take a lesson from the first Republican President, who used his power to become "the Great Emancipator."

Late last month, LG teamed up with T-Mobile and MetroPCS to launch two new Android phones, the Optimus L90 and Optimus L70. Now it's ZTE's turn to partner with T-Metro on some new Android hardware.
ZTE announced today that its Concord II smartphone is launching on both T-Mobile and MetroPCS. The Concord II features a 4-inch 800×480 display on its face and a 5-megapixel shooter on its backside. Buried inside its body is a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 4GB of storage, a microSD card slot, 1GB of RAM and a 1820mAh battery.
On the software side of things, ZTE's Concord II features a "nearly stock" version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Looking at the images of the Concord II, it looks like ZTE has added some custom icons to Google's OS.
The Concord II is available from T-Mobile's website starting today for $0 down and 24 monthly payments. Meanwhile, MetroPCS plans to begin offering the Concord II in stores and online on May 19.
The ZTE Concord II looks like a respectable follow-up to 2012's ZTE Concord, which featured a 3.2-inch 480×320 display, 2-megapixel camera, 512MB of RAM/ROM, an 832MHz processor and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Sure, the Concord II isn't exactly high-end, but its 4-inch display could make it an option for folks that aren't into the whole "bigger is better" trend that seems to be sweeping the smartphone world lately.

The entry hall of the church of the Chiesa Santa Maria Della Visitazione is lined on both sides with giant sketches titled Revelations. 33 empty frames are embedded into the sketches. Over 60 paintings are suspended from the ceiling, dropping like confetti from the universe above, frozen in time and space. A timelapse video of the Tibetan sky over 24 hours is projected onto the dome.
The church's domed frescoes and the oil paintings in the alcoves form a dialogue with this new media, presenting fragments of life in contemporary China. This is the artistic vision of Zhong Biao, on display from today at his first solo exhibition at the Venice Art Biennale.
Having created a Moleskine Special Edition notebook himself, Biao's oeuvre is captured on the paperband, which reproduces his most iconic work Mirage 海市蜃楼 - a monumental painting of 400 x 1,800cm. The cover is embossed with a Chinese phrase that expresses the concept of the "Universe of Unreality" as well as the artist's signature. The notebook acts as a portable blank canvas, a pocket universe to take around and record your own unreality.
"The Universe of Unreality: Zhong Biao's Visions" questions realities through a critical view of the rapid changes happening in contemporary China. Jarring juxtapositions and spatial manipulation present an intertwined cosmology of unrealized possibilities, lively realities and future developments. With the church as the unique setting for the exhibition, Biao's work is given further spiritual significance.
Visit the exhibition in Venice until 1st November 2013.

Survive The Coming Storm By Ray Gano
Insane spending by past and current administrations has led us into staggering debt. Paying back the loans and interest gathered in the attempt to spend out way out of that debt has become impossible.
The demise of the dollar is looming, poised to die in flaming downward spiral. When it hits bottom, this nation will fall into chaos like she has never seen before, plunging into third -world status. Food, gas, and most everything else will become drastically more expensive, coupled with a rise in crime. The "New Normal" for our nation will be upon us as these changes take place.
Hollywood has painted an apocalyptic world, filled with mutant "Mad Max" biker gangs and zombies as this nation's future.
What is sad is that the masses have bought into this false idea.
In this book the author, Ray Gano, takes examples from history as well as from a Christian biblical standpoint showing what you can do to prepare. Is your family prepared to Survive The Coming Storm?

New Car Review
2014 Chrysler Town & Country: New Car Review
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country may look like the one Chrysler has been selling for the last six years. In 2011, however, the Town & Country was rejuvenated, including a fresh interior and a new V6, which made it one of the best-driving and best-equipped minivans ever. It was finally the well-rounded product that it should have been from the beginning.
Compared to its mechanical twin, the similar, bargain-priced Dodge Grand Caravan, the Town & Country is pricier. However, it also comes with a tremendous amount of standard features, including a DVD entertainment system and leather upholstery. And a new S model brings a sporty flair.
There's clearly a market for luxurious minivans. Particularly when loaded with options, the T&C undercuts comparably equipped Japanese-brand competitors by thousands of dollars without feeling the least bit cheap inside. In fact, the dressy interior delivers quite a sense of occasion.
What's New for 2014?
The Town & Country is unchanged for the 2014 model year.
What We Like
Lots of standard luxuries; responsive steering and handling; handy 1-touch folding seats; good value relative to other fancy minivans
What We Don't
Less spacious than primary competitors; flat third-row seats; mechanically identical Dodge Grand Caravan is far cheaper; optional touchscreen is becoming dated
How Much?
Fuel Economy
The Town & Country is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 that's rated at 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's only available with front-wheel drive. Fuel economy is about average for the class at 17 miles per gallon city/25 mpg hwy.
Standard Features & Options
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country is offered in four trim levels -- Touring, Touring L, Limited and S.
Even the base Touring ($31,500) is chock-full of niceties, including 17-inch alloy wheels, a power driver's seat, power-adjustable pedals, 3-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, first- and second-row leather upholstery (cloth is a no-cost option), fold-flat rear seats, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, a 6-speaker audio system and a 6.5-in touchscreen interface with a rearview camera, USB/Bluetooth connectivity and 30 gigabytes of digital music storage. Adding navigation for $895 also includes a backup camera.
The sporty Town & Country S ($33,000) features sporty body accents such as darkened headlamp bezels, black chrome grille, 17-in polished alloy wheels with painted pockets and more. The S model's interior is rendered in all-black with Torino leather seats with the letter S embroidered on the seat backs, as well as contrast stitching, piano-black trim and a black headliner. It comes with a performance suspension. It is available only in black, white, dark red or dark silver exterior colors.
The Touring L ($35,000) receives standard rear parking sensors, automatic high-beam headlamps, a blind spot monitoring system and rear cross-path detection, second- and third-row window shades and eligibility for a variety of upgrades, including extra-luxurious second-row captain's chairs, dual rear entertainment screens and a power-folding third-row seat with power recline.
The Limited ($42,000) has polished wheels, HID headlamps, leather-and-suede upholstery, a Blu-Ray DVD player with dual 9-in screens, knickknacks such as keyless entry with push-button ignition, a leather-and-wood steering wheel, navigation and an exclusive 9-speaker, 506-watt audio system.
Note that many of the fancier models' features are optional on lesser T&C models.
The 2014 Town & Country comes with standard stability control, anti-lock disc brakes and seven airbags (front, front side, full-length, side curtain, driver knee), a rear backup camera and a trailer sway control system.
In government crash testing, the Town & Country received an overall rating of four stars out of five, including four stars for frontal impacts, five stars for side impacts and four stars in the rollover test. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Grand Caravan a rating of Good -- the highest possible -- in every category.
Furthermore, the Town & Country is available with the SafetyTec package (standard on Touring L and Limited models), which includes rain-sensing wipers, parking sensors, SmartBeam headlamps, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-path detection.
Behind the Wheel
The Town & Country has plenty of power under the hood and delivers quick manual shifts, too, with the automatic's shifter in AutoStick mode. We love the hushed, smooth highway ride, as well. Full loads rarely present a problem, though you may notice that the V6 is a bit soft at low engine speeds if you're a speed demon.
Anyone who expects that minivans are nothing more than porky, tippy kid shuttles will be pleasantly surprised with the Town & Country's handing, with its excellent body control and crisp steering. This gives the Town & Country a sense of maneuverability that's absent from some vans. The S model gets even better, thanks to its retuned suspension.
Other Cars to Consider
Honda Odyssey -- The Honda Odyssey boasts an impressive technology suite and comfy accommodations, but its dull dynamics and odd styling are question marks. Few minivans, however, offer the sort of interior flexibility and ergonomic usefulness that characterize the Odyssey.
Nissan Quest -- Based on a Japanese-market van, the Nissan Quest is taller and narrower than the rest, but it also has the nicest interior design, delightful seats and an eager V6. Too bad about its droning continuously variable transmission and high load floor.
Toyota Sienna -- The Sienna is huge inside but rather devoid of character compared to the Town & Country. It also offers a novel split-screen entertainment system that allows two kids to do their own thing simultaneously.
AutoTrader's Advice
The available second-row captain's chairs are very nice, but we'd rather pick up an entry-level Touring for its $30,000-ish base price. Did you see all those standard features? It's a lot of minivan for the money, even with the much cheaper Grand Caravan likely right next door on the dealer lot. If your kids want to pretend they're secret agents every time they get in and out, however, the S model is the one to get.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Saer Sène scored his team-leading fifth and sixth goals of the season for the New England Revolution on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, but the home side had to settle for a 2-2 draw as Houston Dynamo midfielder Luiz Camargo came off the bench to score the game-tying goal in the 87th minute.
Sène twice gave the Revolution (4-6-1, 13 pts.) the lead with a 26th-minute penalty kick and a fantastic individual effort in the 57th minute, but the Dynamo (3-3-4, 13 pts.) hit back on both occasions through Will Bruin (32nd minute) and Camargo.
The result means New England and Houston remain level on points in the middle of the crowded Eastern Conference.
Clyde Simms (L ankle tendonitis) missed his first game of the season for the Revs and was replaced in central midfield by Ryan Guy, who returned to the lineup after missing four games with tightness in his right calf.
Guy's central midfield partner, Shalrie Joseph, had the game's first quality scoring chance in the 21st minute. Sène danced around Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell to create space near the left touchline and crossed for Joseph, whose downward header was handled by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall.
Hall was beaten five minutes later, however, as Sène converted from the penalty spot to give the Revs a 1-0 lead. Sène picked himself up and dusted himself off after Brad Davis barged into his back as he shaped to shoot, burying the penalty himself with a low finish to the right as Hall went the wrong way.
New England's lead lasted just six minutes as the visitors pulled even in the 32nd minute, punishing the Revs from a dead-ball situation. Davis made amends for his earlier misstep by providing the assist on the goal, whipping an in-swinging free kick to the back post from the right channel. Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis charged off his line to punch, but Bruin arrived first and buried a close-range header.
Sène restored the Revolution's advantage in the 57th minute, scoring his second of the game and sixth of the season to push the Revs into a 2-1 lead. Blake Brettschneider pestered Dynamo defender Geoff Cameron into a turnover near midfield and Sène pounced, bursting down the left side and drilling a shot inside the near post from a tight angle.
The Dynamo rarely threatened in the following half-hour and the Revs looked likely to claim all three points, but one lapse in the 87th minute allowed Houston to snatch a late equalizer. Brian Ching opened up the Revolution's backline with a delicate chip into the left side of the box, where second-half substitute Camargo used his first touch to blister a shot past Reis at the near post.
After back-to-back home games the Revs return to the road next weekend when they'll visit Eastern Conference rival D.C. United on Saturday, May 26. Kickoff from RFK Stadium is set for 7:30 p.m.

A sinkhole in a field in Kansas measuring some 200 feet across and 90 feet deep is drawing onlookers out into the rural area.
"I thought it was just crazy," said David Baily, one of the dozens of people who flocked to the area north of Sharon Springs to see the sinkhole.
"How can this happen? What happened to what was below?" asked Virgil Fischer.
The sinkhole appeared last week in the middle of Dalton Hoss' pasture.
"Actually, my brother found it. He called me up and his voice was quaking and he said, 'You'll never believe what I just saw,'" Hoss told KWCH-TV, Wichita, Kan.
Some visitors to the field are even braving the hike down into the hole. Sheriff Larry Townsend said he's not sure how safe the hole is and said it appears to be getting bigger. Large cracks have appeared in the ground right next to it.
"Man had nothing to do with this. This is a God thing. There's no oil well around here, there are no irrigation wells anywhere near. This is something that just happened," Townsend said.
Townsend and Hoss said they don't want people coming out to see the sinkhole because they're not sure how dangerous it is.

how is she gaining otherwise? i probably would have tried to dreamfeed her when she got restless, but if her weight gain is good then it was probably fine.
how is she gaining otherwise? i probably would have tried to dreamfeed her when she got restless, but if her weight gain is good then it was probably fine.
Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
I just had her at the doctor's and he said it was fine. She gained about 1.5 lbs since last month.
I'm not training her to STTN at all. We recently had an extended weekend and the last three days of it she slept from anywhere from 8:30-9:00pm until approximately 8:30am without fussing. I didn't think you were to wake a sleeping baby but I also thought that was a very long time for her to go without eating. I did end up waking her once or twice so she didn't go any longer w/o eating. She may not do it again but I have I had to wake her the last two mornings at 5:30am to get ready for work/daycare so she might. Should I just feed her the first time she get restless w/o fussing (possibly around 6 or 7 am)? Or should I set an alarm and wake her in the middle of the night to feed?
I too had oversupply and (double!) mastitis in the first month. My daughter actually does sleep through the night, usually 9-11 hours. Once or twice a week she wakes up between 2-4am to nurse. I have never had any supply issues and judging by the shared oversupply issue, maybe you won't either! If you find that your baby does sleep like mine and it causes a supply issue, there are many many natural and simple things you can do to boost your supply. I wouldn't worry just yet though : )
Canadian mom and breastmilk fan.
We have 2 beautiful children: Luana who's 9 y/o, had breastmilk for 2 years and is smart as a whip. Lucas who came out kickin', is 4 y/o and continues to enjoy his milkies.
Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
Both moms got silent and stiff when the subject of nursing came up. One mom even moved her seat away from me when I began to nurse. As tired as I am, I bet both of those moms would give up those long stretches of sleep for the chance to nurse their babes. Yes, we're exhausted. But we will miss those fluttery sucks when they're gone.
Mama to Viv since 4/08/12 -- my all natural post-breast cancer miracle baby
with just one breast. So far so good.
Hello to everybody! This is the first time I have posted to this website and I hope that with the help and support of all here that I can get some solid helpful advice for my beautiful wife and beautiful 5 month old baby girl (and myself), we are new parents!. I must admit we have been somewhat hesitant on reaching out to LLL, the principal reason being that--while we are energetic and loyal supporters of breastfeeding and other natural rearing methods--many of our acquaintances and local LLL members who are like ourselves breastfeeding parents, have an air of elitism and exclusivity towards parents such as ourselves who can't quite go "all natural" as it were. An example of that is for instance the fact that my wife must use a nipple shield in order for our little one to properly latch and feed, while it is frowned upon by the "elites" as being "artificial" and "unnatural", it is either that or immediately go to another "artificial" source such as a bottle. I am curious if there are other parents who feel as we do about these matters.
I apologize for the somewhat long-winded introduction but I felt it somewhat necessary, we just want help not condemnation. Now on to the reason I am posting; my wife has recently seen drastic reduction in her supply for the past two or so weeks and it has both of us somewhat concerned as we normally get on average 5oz per breast and have been pumping approx. every other day with our "Medela Swing" pump after each feeding to get out whatever is leftover. It seems now she is only getting 5oz between both breasts now; the milk takes much longer to come in than it used to. We have taken pregnancy tests and at this point we are not pregnant. If there isany advice on how to increase her supply or any guidance on why or what might be causing the issue, we would appreciate the help.

Looks great!

Added a little color to the old boring white gauge to this US Speedo overlay gauges! Looks great in the daytime but at night the gauge is a bit lack of lumen glow. Could be better if the color would be lighter to shine through. Therefore it's a good upgrade for your ride!

Thursday, March 23rd and I am sitting in the airport heading home from MIX06. It was a great conference with very good customer interactions. Also hanging out with Eric, Molly, Andy, Tantek and Dave was a lot of fun.
Yesterday, I had my talk, "Making your site look great in IE7". Even though the title implied that the talk was only on IE7 the real focus was on making standard based designs great on IE7 and other browsers. To prove that I ran the audience to a CSSZenGarden inspired demo, and showed it on IE7, Firefox and Opera. I say CSSZenGarden-inspired, since the real goal of this demo was to push the envelope of standard based design using only the fixed HTML (the images you see on the page are actually background images to not change the semantics of the HTML) provided by CSSZenGarden and CSS (no script involved).
In my demo, I highlighted three features:
Fixed positioning
The whole chrome in the window was fixed positioning. This gave me the advantage to build a frame like layout without the heavy lifting of frames. You also see the curtain like visual effects that you can easily achieve this way in addition to having a fixed place for the menus (the preview images of other CSSZenGarden designs).
Alpha transparent PNGs
The next feature I showed of was cool fading effects you can achieve through alpha transparent PNGs on scrolling the page. I expect that the visual richness on the web will drastically change once IE7 ships. I am really looking forward to see what the design community can pull off with this feature.
:hover on all elements
In addition to the ZenTek demo, I was also showing the audience how we prioritized our work for IE7, what benefits are in the product for web devs (fixes and features) and what the community can do to prepare for IE7 (common form of breaks we see and what tools we have made available to help in the updating process).
I was also happy to announce that we are now layout complete with the release of the MIX build – we don't plan to add more layout features or drastically change layout behavior. This gives web developers a chance to test and prepare your pages for Vista Beta2 and the final release of IE7. There are still bugs and missing features (display tables, generated content to name a few) we would have liked to do for IE7 but based on your requests to have some lead time to test your pages we need to lock it down now to be able to ship IE7. The good news is that we are in the progress of building up a public bug database where you can submit your issues, track their progress and see when we internally fix an issue – Al is going to post about this soon. Your participation will help us greatly to improve IE and also help us to prioritize what bugs to fix for the next releases.

Female Inmates Celebrate Graduation
The first 12 female inmates enrolled in Columbia International University's Prison Initiative are now being disbursed among South Carolina's female inmate population to minister as chaplain's assistants. With tears of joy, the cohort of women received Associate of Arts degrees from CIU on Aug. 8 during commencement ceremonies held at the Camille Griffin Graham Correctional Institution directly across the Broad River from CIU's main campus.
The Prison Initiative began in 2007 in the South Carolina Department of Correction's male institutions. Since the program began, 63 inmate/students have graduated and have been assigned to 22 male institutions across the state.
The first's women's graduation caught the attention of the South Carolina news media. Check out this report on WLTX TV in Columbia:

Why Bird Control?
Each year businesses, government agencies and individuals spend thousands of dollars cleaning up after and repairing damage caused by pest birds. Nesting and roosting birds leave behind debris and droppings that can cause serious damage to buildings. Bird droppings are acidic and can quickly erode building materials. Along with the damage pest birds cause to buildings, their feces can carry any of 60 transmittable diseases. These diseases can be harmful to children and others with compromised immune systems. It is important to install safe and humane bird control products before pest birds are able to cause bird problems.
Why Bird-B-Gone?

- Our High Quality Products Manufactured in the U.S.A.
- We Provide Superior Customer Service

Choosing the Right Bird Control Product!
Making the correct choice in bird control products is essential to solving your bird problems. You need to know where the birds are landing and what they are doing. Are they nesting, roosting or just landing to look for food. It is also helpful to know what species of bird you are dealing with. Birds that land on a roof edge may be deterred using bird spikes, bird shock track systems or other physical bird control product.
If in doubt on which bird control product to use or need to have someone help you with the job, our bird control engineers will help you choose the right product or find a professional bird control product installer in your area! Call us at (800) 392-6915

Despite a more than 65 percent rise in Home Depot's stock during the past year, one analyst says the home improvement retailer's valuation does not concern him.
"I will agree that the valuation looks expensive if you look at a historical multiple," said Peter Keith, a senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray. "But if you're looking back at the past five years, you're looking at a very depressed housing market, and so I don't think that's a really relevant valuation characteristic."
Keith told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that he has an "overweight" rating and a $70 price target on the company's shares.
In what Keith described as a "double positive" for the company, discretionary spending on homes seems to be picking up while the housing recovery becomes a tailwind.
On Tuesday, the company raised its full-year outlook and beat earnings estimates as it benefited from gains in the U.S. housing market and cost-cutting measures.
"They've been saying that for a couple of years that they think GDP is what's driving their business, but you are starting to see the CEO admit that housing's become a bit more of a tailwind," he said.
This will be a "pretty powerful backdrop for them going into next year," Keith said.
He added that larger-ticket remodeling projects are bouncing back at the company — a trend that is benefiting its flooring, kitchen and bath segments.
"The two stocks that we cover that would be benefiting from those types of sales would be Lumber Liquidators and Tile Shop so I would look at those that have been weak and are now starting to bounce back more recently," he said.
Also appearing on the show, Dan Binder, a senior equity research analyst at Jefferies, said the stock's performance reflects a lot of good news already.
Binder has been recommending the stock at one point coming out of the recession, but valuation became rich. He now maintains a "hold" rating and a $56 price target on the company's shares. Despite the hold rating, he still prefers Home Depot over Lowe's.
"Our call into the print was to own a Home Depot over Lowe's, " Binder said. "We still think they are outperforming and doing the best job in the sector."
Binder added that he has a "buy" rating on shares of Kohl's, Wal-Mart Stores and Five Below.
