Latest EEOC-Employer Partnership Continues Trend with Corporate America
HOUSTON -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and CenterPoint Energy today announced the signing of a National Universal Agreement to Mediate (NUAM) to informally resolve workplace disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) before an EEOC investigation or potential litigation occurs.
The mediation partnership marks the 153rd such national or regional agreement between the EEOC and a large employer (mainly Fortune 500 companies) and bolsters a multi-year trend of Corporate America signing on to the EEOC's widely acclaimed mediation program -- one of the largest employment-related ADR programs of its kind nationwide, with approximately 11,600 mediations conducted annually.
"We applaud CenterPoint Energy and welcome their participation in the EEOC's mediation program," said EEOC Houston District Director R.J. Ruff, Jr. "There are numerous benefits that flow from participating in the EEOC's mediation program: it is fair, non-adversarial, expeditious and cost-effective. Additionally, mediation allows the parties to craft the resolution to the conflict that best meets their mutual needs -- which provides everyone the best opportunity to bring closure to the issues in a satisfactory manner."
CenterPoint Energy Assistant General Counsel Stephen J. Calvert said: "CenterPoint Energy strives to maintain a respectful workplace free of discrimination and harassment. This agreement is consistent with that aim and will benefit employees and the company alike by fostering satisfactory and swift resolutions to workplace disputes."
Under the terms of the NUAM, all eligible charges of discrimination filed with the Commission naming CenterPoint Energy as the employer/respondent will be referred to the EEOC's mediation unit, as appropriate. The company will designate a corporate representative to handle all inquiries and other logistical matters related to potential charges in order to facilitate a prompt scheduling of the matter for EEOC mediation.
Expanding mediation is a key component of the EEOC's efforts to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness. In addition to the 153 national and regional UAMs, EEOC district offices have entered into more than 1,050 mediation agreements with employers at the local levels within their respective jurisdictions.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
CenterPoint Energy is the third largest publicly traded (NYSE: CNP) natural gas delivery company in the United States, with three million natural gas customers in six states. CenterPoint Energy is also the nation's third largest combined electricity and natural gas delivery company, with more than five million metered electric and natural gas customers, and the third largest employer in the energy industry in Houston. CenterPoint Energy is a company with proud traditions of quality and commitment — traditions developed during more than 130 years of delivering energy.

Sleepy Eye Public Schools (SEPS) will be implementing the AMAZE Families All Matter (FAM) Book Project for the 2012-13 school year in grades three, four and five.
Sleepy Eye Public Schools (SEPS) will be implementing the AMAZE Families All Matter (FAM) Book Project for the 2012-13 school year in grades three, four and five.
The goal of the project is to eradicate bullying in school and create a safe and welcoming learning environment for all. This is accomplished by helping children learn about themselves and others and to feel comfortable with their differences. Children learn empathy, problem solving and ways stand up for themselves and others.
Nancy Michael and Lynne Mitchell from the AMAZE program in Minneapolis came to Sleepy Eye Public Schools on Wednesday, Sept. 26, to provide curriculum training for teachers. After school the pair facilitated a parent meeting held in the Elementary Library. Amaze recommends utilizing parent volunteers as readers and program helpers. All parents of students in grades three through five were invited to attend the informational session.
The Families All Matter Book Project is a 10th through 12th grade lesson curriculum that aligns with state standards for reading and social studies. It is a literature-based program using 10 read-aloud stories about family diversity and families, followed by class discussion and individual journaling.
Another aspect of the AMAZE program that will be used in third grade is Persona Dolls. The dolls are used to further teach social skills, conflict resolution and problem solving. The doll has a personality that does not change, but may be added to. As the children listen to and give it advice they understand differences and culture and practice standing up for themselves and others and see that they are not the only ones facing a particular life situation.
"Our school is very fortunate to have the opportunity to be provided the materials and training for this project for free," said social worker Judy Surprenant.
A SEPS parent, Sarah Lendt, attended a PTSA conference where she learned about the FAM Book Project and a grant opportunity for three Minnesota school districts. While the program has been in existence since 1996, this year it is piloting a pre- and post-test survey tool for students in grades three and five who have never been exposed to the project. With the information gathered, the project hopes to gain new insight about interventions that can positively impact the classroom environment.

OAKLAND — Caltrans and private engineers deliberated three months in 2003 over the proper corrosion method to use on high-strength steel rods for the new Bay Bridge, a decision that led to the embarrassing failure of 32 rods a decade later.
Documents reveal a series of back-and-forth letters and emails on the subject among more than two dozen engineers and designers from Caltrans and the hired Bay Bridge team of at T.Y. Lin International and Moffatt & Nichol.
Ultimately, the team concluded that mimicking specifications used on bolts in the Richmond-San Rafael bridge retrofit in 2001 would reduce the risk of hydrogen embrittlement — and possible failure — for 2,306 galvanized fasteners for the new Bay Bridge.
"Email communications show that designers, engineers and metallurgists were aware of the risks of hydrogen embrittlement … and that they took steps in manufacturing and testing that they believed would prevent it," Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty wrote in a cover letter to Senate Transportation Committee Chairman Mark DeSaulnier.
This proved inadequate, Dougherty has conceded.
The documents released this week come as Caltrans, Bay Area Toll Authority, the bridge contractor and the team of private engineering consultants hired to design the span are scrambling to determine whether a proposed $5 million to $10 million repair job can be finished in time to open the bridge on Sept. 3 as scheduled.
They must also settle unanswered questions about the long-term integrity of the other 2,210 high-strength steel fasteners used on the bridge that were fabricated in the Midwest under identical specifications.
The documents show that Bay Bridge engineers were well aware of the potential problems.
National standards caution engineers about galvanizing high-strength steel due to the increased risk of embrittlement, and Caltrans' own bridge design manual prohibits the practice on ordinary spans. Embrittlement is a well-known phenomenon where hydrogen atoms invade and weaken the metal's molecular structure, making the part susceptible to fracture.
The special modifications for the steel on the bridge specified that the manufacturer must sandblast the fasteners rather than submerge them in an acid bath — called pickling — before dipping them into molten zinc, the process for galvanizing.
It was the same process used for steel rods on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, although those bolts are under far less load than those that snapped on the Bay Bridge.
That process "does the trick for galvanizing high-strength rods," wrote Caltrans engineer Robert Kobal to his colleagues in April 2003.
Ten years later, that decision would prove costly in dollars, time and public confidence.
In early March, a third of the 96 high-strength threaded rods — 3 inches in diameter and 17 to 24 feet long — installed in key seismic stabilizers on the span snapped after contractors tightened them down.
The state's design and engineering team initially specified in mid-2002 the high-strength grade and type of steel for the bolts — A354 BD — to be used on the new eastern span. The faulty anchor rods are among 288 bolts used in shear keys and bearings in the main pier east of the suspension span tower. The other fasteners are found in the anchorage, tower, saddles and to secure the cable.
The agency's internal Structural Steel Committee raised the issue of adequate corrosion protection on the fasteners in January 2003, just as the state advertised for bidders to build the iconic self-anchored suspension span.
The engineers discussed their options in a construction meeting in Oakland, according to a memo dated Feb. 28.
The fasteners were "too long and too heavy" to be mechanically galvanized, which involves coating the products with zinc in a tumbler. Other types of coatings could also be used, although the documents show engineers worried these products may be less effective.
The American Society for Testing and Materials has long warned against hot-dip galvanizing high-strength steel, but if it is necessary, the organization recommends precautions including the elimination of pickling, and extra tests. The national standards do contain a disclaimer: "This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns … It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before use."
Despite the warning, the bridge team chose the riskier path.
The bridge team in late March requested Caltrans consider the changes, including recommendations from the state's corrosion engineer Rob Reis to add extra testing to detect embrittlement. The state agreed and incorporated the provisions into the self-anchored suspension contract in Addendum No. 3 on April 4, 2003.
The contract as advertised was allowed to lapse in 2004, however, when only one bidder responded with a price of $1.4 billion, nearly double Caltrans' estimate of $740 million.
Delays persisted while then Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger unsuccessfully attempted to persuade legislators to dump the signature self-anchored span and replace it with an extension of the skyway.
Caltrans re-advertised the suspension span contract — with identical high-strength steel specifications — and awarded the $1.7 billion job to American Bridge Fluor Joint Venture in 2006.

Longstanding National MP and former Speaker Lockwood Smith has used his final speech in Parliament to tell of his regret at voting against homosexual law reform, defend his record as Education Minister and plead for changes to MMP, claiming the current system makes MPs more accountable to their party hierarchy than to the people they represent.
Dr Smith, who is to become New Zealand's High Commissioner in London, delivered his valedictory in Parliament yesterday after nearly 30 years as an MP.
It was his first speech in the House in four years - while Speaker, he had to steer clear of airing his political views - and he used his valedictory to make up for that.
He said MPs should be judged by how well they represented people whose lives had been impacted by the actions of the state.
"The introduction of MMP in 1996 changed this place. Some of it was for the better - we have a broader face of representation, and that is good.
"But like so many policy changes, it's the unexpected outcomes that need to be watched. One of those outcomes has been a significant shift in the accountability of members."
Dr Smith said list MPs were obviously accountable to their party hierarchies, to whom they owed their place on the list. "But the pervasive power of the party vote has meant all members are now totally accountable to their parties. This House, in so many ways, has become a place of political parties rather than a House of Representatives."
He said he was not calling for MMP to be overturned, but did believe it needed to be re-examined.
Dr Smith also provided a lesson to MPs currently battling to decide whether to support the same-sex marriage bill, saying his biggest regret was voting against the Homosexual Law Reform Bill in 1986.
"I faced the classic dilemma of voting according to my own judgment or the opinion of those I was elected to represent. As a new member, I opted for the latter and I've always regretted it."
Dr Smith also took time to reflect on his own record as a minister in the 1990s - including the controversial changes he made as Education Minister.
Those included introducing the student loans scheme and means-testing student allowances - measures that resulted in student protests.
Dr Smith said he believed the student loans policy was good policy and had made university an option for more people, but means-testing student allowances was unfair, in particular to students whose parents were unable to "camouflage" their income.
He ended by promising to spend more time with his wife, Alexandra, whom he married in 2009, and paying tribute to his long-serving assistant Beryl Bright.

VANCOUVER — There are a lot of ridiculous statements made on the ice after the Stanley Cup is won.
But Dennis Seidenberg might've taken the cake.
"To be honest, I feel fresh," said Seidenberg after he logged 28:51 of ice time in the Bruins' Game 7 victory tonight and finished the postseason averaging 27:37 per game. "I don't feel that tired. It's weird to say but I actually feel really good. I was surprised all playoffs how I feel."
In the words of head coach Claude Julien, Seidenberg was "a horse" throughout the entire playoffs. That continued during the Bruins' 4-0 Cup-winning triumph at Rogers Arena. He chipped in with two assists and once again combined with Zdeno Chara to limit Henrik and Daniel Sedin to no points and just five shots on net.
For the series, the Sedin brothers combined for just five points, including just one goal from Henrik.
Now Seidenberg will become the second German, after Uwe Krupp, to have his name etched on the Cup. And he might even get some love from countryman and NBA champion Dirk Nowitzki.
"He doesn't even know who I am," cracked Seidenberg, who watch Nowitzki's video tribute to Vancouver defenseman Christian Ehrhoff during Game 1.
"It's definitely special to be the second German ever to win the Cup. It's crazy and it's hard to describe," he continued.
In the summer of 2009, Seidenberg was a free agent that didn't sign anywhere until training camp opened. Now he's the No. 2 defenseman on the Stanley Cup champions.
"I always knew that I can play," he said. "I knew I was able to play in this league and contribute big time. And you just need the right circumstance. You just need a coach that believes in you, a guy that puts you on the ice regularly. That helps you a lot."

White Sox 2B Beckham out six weeks with fractured hamate bone
Washington, D.C. – Chicago White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham is expected to miss the next six weeks because of a fractured hamate bone in his left wrist.
Beckham injured himself swinging at a pitch in the second inning of Chicago's 8-7 loss to the Nationals on Tuesday. The White Sox initially believed the injury was just simple nerve irritation, but an MRI on Thursday revealed the fracture, which will require surgery to repair.
Beckham was hitting .316 with an RBI and one run scored this season.

Proximity Switches Get With the Program
Programmable Sensors Have Their Pluses and Minuses
We have used proximity switches on our dry material handling machines for a number of years. We are now contemplating an upgrade to programmable proximity switches. This should allow us to improve performance by fine-tuning switch characteristics via software. It should also allow us to stock fewer different types of switches. Are these and other improvements worth the time, the trouble and the expense of upgrading from standard to programmable proximity switches?
Three Factors
There are three factors to consider when evaluating a change from standard to smart proximity sensors: performance gains vs.increased cost, end-user MRO challenges and availability.
- Performance gains vs. increased cost. The OEM must consider how the increased cost of the smart switch compares with the improved functionality. This includes the material cost difference between the two devices, the additional time cost of programming the devices vs. standard set-and-forget and the cost decreases from reducing inventory. Only the OEM can answer these questions.
- End-user MRO. The proximity switch market is becoming more of a commodity market with each passing year. This is generally due to increased competition and ultimately leads to reduced cost for standard switches. The use of smart switches will not only lead to increased material cost for the end user when replacing one of these devices, but also an increased requirement for maintenance training on how to program the switches. The former can happen often in the material handling industry, while the latter can lead to increased downtime. The OEM should consider both of these points and discuss them with the end user before moving forward.
- Availability. The last thing an end user can stomach is not being able to get a switch when the machine is down. This is typically not a problem with standard proximity switches because, as a commodity item, they are readily available from many companies. Smart switches, however, are typically proprietary and difficult to replace between suppliers. This must be factored in over the lifecycle of the machine.
In the end, a good relationship between the OEM and end user will help both discuss and understand the impact of going with smart devices vs. standard proximity switches. Only then can the best decision be made.

Sensors with a preset fixed range eliminate the need to relabel and provide additional tools to customers.
Programming Headache
The hassle that accompanies programming your own sensor outweighs the benefits of properly choosing a sensor with the fixed range at the start. With programmable sensors, the OEM assumes the responsibility of relabeling the sensor and providing the customer with the necessary tools to program a replacement.
Tony Udelhoven
Division Director, Sensors
Configure It Out
There is a variety of solid-state proximity sensing technologies available to the machine builder for consideration. The most common sensing technologies in use are inductive metal, photoelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors. These three sensing technologies allow the machine builder to support a wide variety of sensing applications with a limited variety of configurable sensor products.
Rather than having to maintain a large stock of various dedicated sensors for addressing several different sensing applications, a configurable sensor can be easily programmed or adapted by the machine builder to support those different sensing applications.
With configurable sensor products, the machine builder is afforded these sensing considerations: inductive metal proximity sensors with either shielded or non-shielded configurability; photoelectric sensors with configurable diffuse, diffuse with background suppression, polarized retro-reflective or thru-beam sensing functionality and programmable N.O or N.C. output; and ultrasonic configurable proximity sensors for performing inductive proximity sensing tasks, but with a longer sensing range, or, for performing photoelectric sensing tasks where optically challenged with respect to color, transparency, ambient light, condensation or dirt.
The machine builder will find the cost comparison between dedicated and configurable sensor products to be surprisingly similar. Any added cost in replacing dedicated sensors with configurable sensors will be offset by the savings realized in maintaining a smaller replacement sensor inventory.

Get With the Program
The upgrade from a nonprogrammable to a programmable proximity switch has many benefits. You will need fewer sensor part numbers in your system, which results in less inventory and a reduced cost.
Manufacture time will also be reduced because of the simpler and faster installation time of the sensor. The less time you have to spend on installation, the more money you will save.
There is less confusion in production with fewer part numbers. It will be easier for the mechanical field representative to exchange one sensor than multiple sensors. This will result in a simpler and shorter installation.
You will also be able to be much more flexible in the design of your machine. Sensors can be programmed either at the sensor or externally on the PLCs. The tolerance of the teached switching point on a programmable sensor is much better than a nonprogrammable sensor (less than 5%). The reason for this is that the customer programs the sensor at a certain target distance. In general, a nonprogrammable sensor has a tolerance of +/-10% of the sensing distance. Upgrading from a standard to a programmable proximity sensor would be well worth it.

Patrick Regan has kindly shared the material from his George Heath site with readers of the Victorian Web, who may wish to consult the original. About this mention of Heath, he writes: "This brief chapter on the village of Horton is taken from the Staffordshire volume of a series of books entitled The King's England. This was my first encounter with the story of George Heath."
Horton. It is near the lovely Rudyard Lake after which Kipling was named, and it is the last resting-place of Staffordshire's own poet of the moorlands.
The church, mostly 16th century, although its north aisle is a century older, has a plain medieval font, a simple 15th-century screen in the tower arch, and a 400-year-old brass of John Wedgwood with his wife and eight children. The churchyard has an ancient yew over 20 feet round and a timbered lychgate. Here is a grey stone telling us (we need not believe it) that Mary Brooks was 119 when she was laid to rest in 1787, and near by is the grave of George Heath, the poet they brought here nearly a century later, when he was only 25. He was born in the spring, and in the spring he died. As a boy he worked on his father's farm, but later he became a builder's apprentice, and it was while he was helping to restore this very church that he caught the chill which led to his death from tuberculosis. He was writing poetry when he was 20, and published a book of Simple Poems when he was 21, but his story is one of tragic unfulfilment, and sadness was the keynote of his work.
In his diary one day in May 1864 he wrote "Praise God for one more day," and on the following day his spirit fled. The grey stone cross above his grave has these few lines found among his papers, among the best lines he wrote:
His life is a fragment — a broken clue.
His harp had a musical string or two;
The tension was great, and they sprang and flew,
And a few brief strains, a scattered few,
Are all that remain to mortal view
Of the marvellous song the young man knew.
Staffordshire. ed. Arthur Mee. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1937.

Guess who's back! Nick Cotton set for shock return to EastEnders after fake funeral
THERE WAS A question mark over his death which was announced earlier on EastEnders this year - and fans were right to think nasty Nick Cotton wasn't dead.
The Albert Square bad boy is returning to EastEnders once again - just a matter of months since viewers saw his funeral.
Nick last appeared on screens five years ago - and viewers weren't totally convinced by his policeman son Charlie's claim that his dad had died as a result of a heroin overdose.
During last night's edition of the BBC soap, it became clear he is still alive - and he is now poised to cause further trouble for his "Ma" Dot Cotton, played by June Brown.
Villainous Nick - played by John Altman - was first seen in the debut episode of the show in 1985 and viewers have seen him repeatedly pile misery on his mother with his crimes and his drug addiction.
At one stage he was on the verge of trying to poison her, but then had a change of heart.
He was last seen on screen in June 2009, having survived an explosion at the cafe, and viewers saw his funeral take place in March this year.
In recent months Charlie, played by Declan Bennett, and his mother, Nick's ex Yvonne Cotton who is played by Pauline McLynn, have joined the show.
Altman said: "After a five-year break, I'm very pleased and much looking forward to returning to EastEnders.
"With the promise of some hard-hitting and gritty storylines, I'm sure the residents of Albert Square will be none too pleased to see Nick Cotton back on the streets of Walford.
"I'm also looking forward to working alongside Declan Bennett and Pauline McLynn. And of course being reunited and working once again with my 'dear old Ma', the wonderful June Brown."
The show's executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins said: "As we approach EastEnders' 30th anniversary, it's only fitting that our original bad boy - and soap's most iconic villain - returns to Albert Square to cause more trouble for his Ma.
"It's time for the indomitable June Brown to have the Nick story to end all Nick stories - and with Declan and Pauline in the mix too, it's going to be an exciting bumpy ride as the Cottons begin to unravel."

Starry Sky Shift Dress with Sleeve Ties
Added Jan 28, 2012
Los Angeles, Cal...
A mini dress from my favorite pattern, Simplicity's Built by Wendy 3835 (now out of print but may be found on eBay or such places).
Made in dotted cotton voile print that reminds me of the night sky. The sleeve and sleeve ties in the pattern were way too long so I had to redraft the pattern to shorten them.
I added a slouchy pocket that I drafted myself. Basically I took the existing pocket pattern, cut the top part and added seam allowance to create the pocket edge. Then I redrafted the bottom/rest of the pocket so it would be wider at the opening edge. This wider edge was gathered and sewn into the previously mentioned top part and then placed on the dress (like a patch pocket).

In breaking news today, it would appear that mega-retailer WalMart has contracted a Chinese manufacturer to produce millions of low-cost HD-DVD players. Though somewhat obfuscated by translation issues and the breaking nature of the news, the current internet consensus suggests that Taiwan based manufacturer Fuh Yuan, in cooperation with TDK, will produce the blue laser drives for 2-million HD-DVD players. Broadcom will reportedly supply the system-on-a-chip decoder, and China Great Wall will handle final assembly. The deal represents around US $100,000,000, and it is reported that a new manufacturing plant has already been opened to fulfill the order.
Speculation suggests the players will arrive at retail in late 2007 and will be priced between $199-299. At such cost, WalMart's HD-DVD drives will be far below the current low of $399 for Toshiba's HD-A20 player, and will look cheap compared to the lowest priced Blu-ray hardware on the market today ($599).
If the current details of the plan prove to be true, WalMart's support of HD-DVD will have a significant impact on the next-gen DVD format war. The American retailer operates on a high-volume, low-margin business plan of market saturation, which is exactly the approach required to drive one format or the other to preeminence.
Stay tuned for updates and confirmation as the story develops.

Nearly 50 years have passed since the first black students enrolled at the University of Alabama after Gov. George Wallace's infamous "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door." The university will recognize the Civil Rights milestone with a year of events highlighting the school's progress during the last half-century and looking ahead to the future.
Nearly 50 years have passed since the first black students enrolled at the University of Alabama after Gov. George Wallace's infamous "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door."
The university will recognize the Civil Rights milestone with a year of events highlighting the school's progress during the last half-century and looking ahead to the future.
Programs, seminars, speakers and other events will focus on the theme of "Through the Doors." Arthur Dunning, a professor and senior research fellow at UA and his wife, Professor Karen Baynes Dunning, are co-chairs of the 50th Anniversary Committee. Arthur Dunning, one of the first black students to enroll at the school, spoke at a press conference held in the lobby of Foster Auditorium this morning.
"This was not just a legal issue, it was a moral issue," he said, just yards away from where Wallace blocked students Vivian Malone and James Hood from entering to register for classes on June 11, 1963, nine years after the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled school segregation unconstitutional. "It was one of the deepest and most profound changes in the history of the state of Alabama as well as the University of Alabama. It's important to look back not only at what happened, but to understand the implications of what we need to be doing for the future."
Dunning enrolled in 1966, just a year after Jim Crow laws ended.
"You could still feel it in the community. You could feel it in the state of Alabama and indeed feel it on this campus," he said. "I was treated almost as an invisible person. I spent a lot of my free time at Stillman College.
"I did not expect to be welcomed or embraced here. That was not the nature of the 1960s in Alabama. I came not only for educational reasons, but also for the understanding that this campus must be open to all Alabamians to truly be called the University of Alabama."
Dunning went on to earn three degrees from UA and during his career served as senior vice-chancellor for human and external resources for the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, vice-president for public service and outreach at the University of Georgia and as vice-chancellor for the UA System. He is now a professor and senior research fellow in the Education Policy Center at UA. He said that being asked to co-chair the 50th Anniversary committee is the pinnacle of his career.
Dunning said that as a state, Alabama faces challenges in education, health care and economic development.
"If we really want to strengthen this state, we've got to look at some of the foundational aspects of that. What we're trying to do with this celebration is to not only take a look back but also answer the questions of what are the implications of that past for the future."
He said that he hopes the planned events and featured speakers will highlight how the university community can move forward.
"I'd like to see a speaker who can help us not be held hostage by the past and give us a sense of what we need to be thinking about for the future," he said. "The future is coming at us very fast."
A website launched today will provide information about the planned events: http://www.throughthedoors.ua.edu/

RTRS: Wall St. set to open little changed after GDP data
By Tanya Agrawal
U.S. stock futures pared losses, setting up Wall Street to open little changed on Thursday as the upwardly revised fourth-quarter GDP growth rate underscored strength in the domestic economy.
Gross domestic product increased 2.1 percent, compared with the previously reported 1.9 percent, the Commerce Department said. The economy grew 3.5 percent in the third quarter.
The market has been choppy in the past few days as investors look for new catalysts and ahead of first-quarter corporate earnings.
Investors have been assessing what the Republicans' failure to pass a healthcare bill means for tax reform and the rest of President Donald Trump's pro-growth agenda, hopes for which have helped drive stocks to record highs.
The stock rally may be near its peak, according to a Reuters poll of strategists, who forecast U.S. shares will gain less than 3 percent between now and year-end. The S&P has risen 10.3 percent since the U.S. election.
The rapid climb in equities has raised concerns regarding valuations, with the S&P 500 trading at nearly 18 times earnings estimates for the next 12 months against its long-term average of 15 times.
The market will be looking at quarterly earnings to see if the lofty valuations can be supported. First-quarter earnings for S&P 500 companies are expected to rise 10.1 percent, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"The market is looking for new catalysts in the form of fresh policy news from the Trump administration that can help regain the confidence in his pro-growth mandate after the healthcare bill disappointment," said Andre Bakhos, managing director at Janlyn Capital LLC in Bernardsville, New Jersey.
"Investors are also looking ahead to earnings to see if companies can deliver what the market has already priced in with the current valuations."
Dow e-minis 1YMc1 were down 8 points, or 0.04 percent, with 15,091 contracts changing hands at 8:36 a.m. ET 91236 GMT).
S&P 500 e-minis ESc1 were down 1 points, or 0.04 percent, with 100,615 contracts traded.
Nasdaq 100 e-minis NQc1 were down 1.25 points, or 0.02 percent, on volume of 21,177 contracts.
Economic data showed that the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell less than expected last week, with initial claims slipping 3,000 to 258,000 for the week ended March 25.
Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester, Dallas Fed chief Robert Kaplan, San Francisco Fed head John Williams and New York Fed President William Dudley are all scheduled to make appearances.
On Wednesday, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans said he favored further interest rate hikes this year, while Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said the Fed should raise rates three more times in 2017.
Shares of Lululemon Athletica (LULU.O) plunged 20.9 percent to $52.42 in premarket trading after the Canadian yoga and leisure apparel retailer said first-quarter comparable sales were expected to fall.
ConocoPhillips (COP.N) rose 8.3 percent to $49.75 after the company said it agreed to sell oil sands and western Canadian natural gas assets to Cenovus Energy (CVE.N). Cenovus was down 7.9 percent at $12.04.

Shionogi Receives FDA Approval For Osphena™ (Ospemifene) For The Treatment Of Dyspareunia, A Symptom Of Vulvar And Vaginal Atrophy (VVA), Due To Menopause
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Shionogi Inc., the United States (U.S.)-based company of Shionogi & Co., Ltd., today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Osphena™ (ospemifene) tablets for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia (painful intercourse), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA), due to menopause.
Osphena™, as an estrogen agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects, is the first and only oral treatment alternative to vaginal or oral steroidal estrogens for women with dyspareunia due to menopause. Its biological actions are mediated through binding to estrogen receptors, which results in activation of estrogenic pathways in some tissues (agonism) and blockade of estrogenic pathways in others (antagonism). The efficacy and safety of Osphena™ was demonstrated in three clinical trials. Osphena™ demonstrated significant improvements in dyspareunia (painful intercourse) as well as on the physical changes of the vagina associated with menopause. These improvements include increased superficial cells and decreased parabasal cells and vaginal pH.
"While more than half of all women in the U.S. will experience symptoms of VVA at some time in their postmenopausal life, the vast majority of women with VVA are not being treated with a prescription medication because women and their healthcare professionals are not proactively discussing the condition, and its associated symptoms," said David J. Portman, M.D., OB/GYN and Director of the Columbus Center for Women's Health Research. "Osphena™ received approval based on a clinical development program in postmenopausal women with dyspareunia, a symptom of VVA. As an oral medication taken once-daily, Osphena™ is a convenient way for postmenopausal women to help treat dyspareunia."
"The FDA approval of Osphena™ represents an important advancement in the treatment of dyspareunia, providing an alternative treatment option for the millions of women living with this condition," said John Keller, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Shionogi Inc. "We look forward to building our product portfolio in women's health by advancing important therapies, such as Osphena™."
Shionogi obtained exclusive global marketing rights to Osphena™ under a license agreement entered into between Shionogi and QuatRx Pharmaceuticals Company in 2010.
Osphena™ is an estrogen agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects. Serious risks of estrogen-alone therapy can include increased risk of endometrial cancer, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Osphena™ should be prescribed for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals for the individual woman. Women considering treatment for dyspareunia are encouraged to discuss the potential risks and benefits of Osphena™ with their healthcare provider. Please see below for additional Important Safety Information.
Osphena™ Clinical Trials
The FDA approval of Osphena™ was supported by three Phase 3 placebo-controlled clinical trials involving approximately 1,800 postmenopausal women with VVA receiving either Osphena™ 60 mg (N=1102) or placebo (N=787). Two of the clinical trials were of 12 weeks duration and the third clinical trial was a 52-week long-term safety study.
In the first and second clinical trials, Osphena™ demonstrated a statistically significant improvement from Baseline to Week 12 in moderate to severe dyspareunia (1st clinical trial p=0.0012, 2nd trial p<0.0001), compared to placebo. A statistically significant increase in the proportion of superficial cells and a corresponding statistically significant decrease in the proportion of parabasal cells on a vaginal smear was also demonstrated (p<0.0001 for both). The mean reduction in vaginal pH from Baseline to Week 12 was also statistically significant (p<0.0001).
In clinical studies, the more commonly reported adverse reactions (greater than or equal to 1 percent) in patients treated with Osphena™ 60 mg compared to placebo were: hot flush (7.5 percent vs. 2.6 percent), vaginal discharge (3.8 percent vs. 0.3 percent), muscle spasms (3.2 percent vs. 0.9 percent), hyperhidrosis (1.6 percent vs. 0.6 percent), and genital discharge (1.3 percent vs. 0.1 percent).
Important Safety Information for Osphena™ (ospemifene) tablets
Boxed WARNING: Endometrial Cancer and Cardiovascular Disorders
Osphena™ is an estrogen agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects. In the endometrium Osphena™ has estrogen agonistic effects. There is an increased risk of endometrial cancer in a woman with a uterus who uses unopposed estrogen therapy. Adding a progestin to estrogen therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia, which may be a precursor to endometrial cancer. Adequate diagnostic measures, including directed or random endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in postmenopausal women with undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal genital bleeding.
The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen-alone substudy reported an increased risk of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age) during 7.1 years of treatment with daily oral conjugated estrogens (CE) [0.625 mg], relative to placebo. Osphena™ 60 mg had cerebral thromboembolic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence rates of 0.72 and 1.45 per thousand women vs. 1.04 and 0 per thousand women for placebo and a DVT incidence rate of 1.45 vs. 1.04 per thousand women for placebo. Osphena™ should be prescribed for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.
- Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding
- Known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia
- Active deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) or a history of these conditions
- Active arterial thromboembolic disease (for example, stroke and myocardial infarction), or a history of these conditions
- In women who are or may become pregnant, as Osphena™ may cause fetal harm
Warnings and Precautions
Cardiovascular Disorders: In Osphena™ clinical trials of up to 15 months the incidence rates compared to placebo for cerebral thromboembolic and hemorrhagic stroke were 0.72 Osphena™ 60 mg vs. 1.04 placebo and 1.45 Osphena™ 60 mg vs. 0 placebo per thousand women. Should thromboembolic or hemorrhagic stroke occur or be suspected, Osphena™ should be discontinued immediately.
Coronary Heart Disease: In clinical trials, a single MI occurred in a woman receiving Osphena™ 60 mg.
Venous Thromboembolism: Incidence rate of DVT was 1.45 Osphena™ vs. 1.04 placebo per thousand women. Should a VTE occur or be suspected, Osphena™ should be discontinued immediately. Osphena™ should be discontinued at least 4 to 6 weeks before surgery with increased risk of thromboembolism or during periods of prolonged immobilization.
Malignant Neoplasms
Endometrial Cancer: Osphena™ is an estrogen agonist/antagonist with tissue selective effects. In the endometrium Osphena™ has agonistic effects. In Osphena™ clinical trials, no cases of endometrial cancer were seen with exposure up to 52 weeks.
Breast Cancer: Osphena™ has not been adequately studied in women with breast cancer; therefore Osphena™ should not be used in women with known or suspected breast cancer or with a history of breast cancer.
Severe Hepatic Impairment: Do not use Osphena™ in women with severe hepatic impairment as it has not been studied.
Adverse Reactions: In clinical studies, the more commonly reported adverse reactions (greater than or equal to 1 percent) in patients treated with Osphena™ 60 mg compared to placebo were: hot flush (7.5 percent vs. 2.6 percent), vaginal discharge (3.8 percent vs. 0.3 percent), muscle spasms (3.2 percent vs. 0.9 percent), hyperhidrosis (1.6 percent vs. 0.6 percent), and genital discharge (1.3 percent vs. 0.1 percent).
Drug Interactions
- Do not use estrogens or estrogen agonists/antagonists or fluconazole concomitantly with Osphena™.
- Coadministration of Osphena™ with drugs that inhibit CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 may increase the risk of Osphena™ related adverse reactions.

Indications and Usage for Osphena™ (ospemifene) tablets
Osphena™ (ospemifene) is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, due to menopause.
About Dyspareunia and VVA
Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) is one of the most common symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA), a chronic and progressive condition due to menopause. Declining estrogen levels during menopause can cause tissues of the vaginal lining to grow thinner and to lose elasticity, a condition known as vaginal atrophy. Menopause also causes increases in vaginal pH. These changes can lead to dyspareunia. While approximately 32 million postmenopausal women in the U.S. experience symptoms of VVA, 93 percent are not being treated with a prescription medication. Women who may be experiencing dyspareunia due to menopause should consult with their healthcare professional to discuss appropriate treatment options. Prescription therapies are often required for symptomatic women.

If your closet is overflowing, you're not doing your clothes or yourself any favors. Garments need room to hang freely, so they don't get crushed or wrinkled, and you need to be able to see what's in your closet, so you don't end up wearing the same five outfits over and over again. By putting your off-season clothes in storage, you free up space for a few new items and get the chance to take stock of your seasonal wardrobe. So now that school days are once again drawing near, it's time to put the tank tops away.
Sort them
It's best not to blindly pack every summer piece you own. If you come across something that you haven't worn this season, it's probably time to donate it to charity. Among the things you're keeping, make a separate pile of things that need to be repaired. By fixing fallen hems and sewing on missing buttons before you store them, you'll help make the transition to wearing them next summer seamless. Extra buttons that come with new clothes can always be stored in a small Easy Find Lids container.
Clean them
Did you know that moths and insects are drawn to dirt, stains and odors? It's true, so fire up the washing machine and make sure everything is clean before packing it away. Skip the fabric softener this time around, though, because it can leave a residue that is also attractive to pests. Better yet, use storage containers that are nearly impossible for pests to access, such as a Rubbermaid 31 gal. Roughneck tote. Best to deal with any stubborn stains now, though, because the longer they sit, the harder they are to get rid of. And if you've got items that have been newly dry cleaned, remember to remove them from the plastic bag. Leaving them wrapped can result in moisture build-up and potentially mold.
Fold them
Clothing can lose its shape if hung for too long, so the best option for storage is generally folded. However, keep things loosely folded and avoid stuffing containers until they're full. Leave a little extra room so you don't create any permanent creases. If you like to keep things smelling fresh, try adding a little lavender sachet or cedar block to the container. It's best to avoid any sort of mothballs, which are not only smelly, but can also be harmful to pets and children. If do have items that need to be hung, such as heavy leather jackets, be sure to use quality wooden hangers and cover them with a cloth garment bag rather than plastic, to avoid trapping any moisture within.
Label them
If you don't want to be rifling through containers of holiday decorations next spring, label your bins of summer clothes clearly on each side. Just a piece of masking tape and a Sharpie marker will do the trick. To further prevent any confusion, consider using transparent containers, such as Rubbermaid's Clever Store tote, so you can tell from first glance what's stored inside.

About Treks and Tracks
Surrounded by craggy peaks, three men in bright red helmets stand in the midst of wilderness, surveying the mountains around them as their group of hikers break for a snack on the rocky ground. This interface with the majesty of nature is all in a day's work for this trio of adventurers: Paul Mangasarian and Jakob and Daniel Laggner. Still, their passion for open-air exploration grows with each expedition they lead. Paul, Jakob, and Daniel cofounded Treks and Tracks with the dream of orchestrating excursions into nature that combine ancient means of travel—such as sailing, horseback riding, and hitchhiking on a centaur—with modern sports ranging from surfing to rock climbing. Though they focus on introducing novice outdoorsfolk to unspoiled wilderness around the world, Treks and Tracks' cofounders also strive to leave the awe-inspiring surroundings they visit as pristine as they found them by rigorously upholding practices of environmental stewardship on each expedition.

Lot # 1114 (of 1727) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1988 Ron Lewis "500 Home Run Club" Signed Lithograph (#528/1000)
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $1,880
Classic 1988 limited-edition signed lithograph of the eleven then-living members of the elite 500 Home Run Club, by renowned sports artist Ron Lewis, beautifully signed by Ted Williams, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews, and Willie McCovey. All signatures are nearly flawless "10s" in blue Sharpie. The lithograph is also signed by the artist, Ron Lewis, in blue marker and is hand-numbered "528/1000." This was a very elaborate, successful, and groundbreaking project when produced in conjunction with the now legendary Atlantic City show in 1988 at which these greats gathered. Many consider this signed lithograph the single best and most well conceived limited-edition signed item ever created. This lithograph is not to be confused with smaller, lower-quality, mass-produced posters of this same image. In addition to the infinitely superior quality and very limited print run of the lithographs, the authenticity of the signatures on the lithographic prints is always a certainty. Many collectors are not aware of the tremendous distinction between the signed limited-edition lithographic art prints and the posters, especially from catalog images in which they look the same. The lithographic prints are much larger and are of much higher quality. As time passes, undoubtedly the lithographs will become all the more appreciated as collectors learn to fully understand the great distinction between the lithographs that have signatures guaranteed to be authentic and the cheap reproduced posters that are often not authentically signed. In our opinion, the lithographs are one of the great values of all limited-edition autographed display pieces. We think the auction prices of the lithos have been held down by the confusion with the posters, but in person (and often with reference to authenticity as well) there is just no comparison. The lithograph measures 38 x 24 inches and is in Near Mint condition. Beautifully double matted to total dimensions of 42 x 26 inches. (Please note: This piece can be removed from the matting and shipped rolled, for a significant reduction in shipping cost, if so desired.) LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $1,880

This page updated 8 Feb 2016
Version note: Applies to Second Site 5 & 6
John Cardinal, long time TMG user and creator of several companion programs for TMG, has written a wonderful program to produce high quality web pages from TMG Project files. It's called Second Site, and you can read all about it on John's website. In it's simple-to-use default mode it produces very nice websites, and it offers seemingly endless options to customize the results for users who prefer to personalize their sites.
The webpages created by Second Site can be placed on an Internet website, or they can copied to a CD or thumb drive to be shared with family members more privately. The program offers a choice of several different output formats for presenting the family history data. The one I prefer for sharing details with family members is called Narration, and produces output similar to the Journal style reports produced by TMG, but adapted to take advantage of the linking capabilities of webpages. There are also several variations using columnar formats and bullet-item formats, for those that prefer a more structured layout. I use a Bullet format for my "outline" family history webpages which I post in hopes of contacting other researchers working on the same lines.
Websites can be produced in a variety of styles, called Themes in Second Site. Each Theme produces different page appearance, color schemes, and graphical treatments. Users can modify those Themes to suit their tastes, or in essence create their own "themes" entirely, thereby creating highly personalized websites. My own family history sites are examples of that capability.
In addition to simply presenting the data recorded in TMG, Second Site can produce a variety of other forms of output, including ancestor and descendant charts, maps, photo galleries, DNA charts, and custom pages of the users own design. Examples of many of these can be found in my family history pages and in the illustrations in the articles listed below.
I use Second Site in three distinct ways. I use it to create 1) the Outline Family History pages on my own website which is designed to reach researchers working on those people I am actively researching, 2) the much more detailed Narrative Family History pages on my website for those lines whom I have substantially completed my research, and 3) to create webpages to share privately with family members or other serious researchers. There is an abbreviated example of this more personalized style my Sample webpages. To me, these three applications require very different styles of webpages, as can be seen in those examples, and discussed in my article on Sharing.
Second Site user Keith Winters has created a Gallery of Websites created with Second Site featuring over 300 sites. Viewing some of these examples will give an appreciation for the wide variety of styles that Second Site can produce.
In my articles here I describe some of the features of Second Site, and some techniques I have found useful. The articles range from general information suitable for beginning users to fairly obscure techniques of interest only to more advanced users. There are articles on the following topics:

|Customizing Formats - when Second Site's myriad options still don't do just what you want
You can also use the Search function to locate topics of interest.
If you need help in finding the best way to apply the program to your application and preferences, I would suggest subscribing to John Cardinal's Second Site support list, where John and other users are always ready to provide help.

[See the rest of our How to Apply Makeup series for beginners.]
Learning how to apply eyeliner is an essential step in pulling your look together. Properly applied eyeliner can help define your eyes and give a polished look. However, if you're not careful, it can easily transform your appearance from classy to trashy. Here are instructions on how to apply pencil eyeliner for a pretty, natural look:
1. Color selection plays a big role in the final outcome. For everyday looks, brown is the most natural color for most people. However, if your hair is very dark, you can get away with black. Charcoal is another nice, universal option. If your eyes are green, a dark plum will make them pop.
2. Begin with the upper lid and a sharpened pencil. You need a heavier hand and a sharper tip for the upper lid. After using the pencil on your upper lids, the tip will soften a bit, making it perfect for lining the lower lid. If your pencil is very hard or waxy, warm it slightly with your fingers or hot water so it will glide better.

3. Place the tip at the inner corner of your upper eyelid as close to the lash line as possible. Begin where your eyelashes begin or about one-fourth of the way in. Follow the lash line with the pencil all the way to the outer corner. As you reach the outer corner, you can press harder to make the line a little darker and thicker as it goes out.
4. Repeat this process on the lash line underneath the eye, but use a much lighter touch and work from the outside in. Remember the line should be thickest at the outside so gently lighten your touch as you work inward. Stop about three-fourths of the way toward your nose. Then grab a cotton swab and use it to lightly blend the line, starting from the inner corner and working outward, so that it looks more like a shadow than an obvious line.
5. You can connect the top and bottom lines on the outer corner of the eye, but don't do this on the inner corners or it will make your eyes appear smaller. Regardless of how much eyeliner you apply, be sure it is even and blended – not rough and jagged. You can use an small, angled flat brush to smooth out any problem areas.

The guys over at ShackNews have posted up some new details about about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky
War of factions In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, the player assumes the role of Scar, a mercenary s.t.a.l.k.e.r. In a unique mixture of first-person shooter and complex role- playing game, Scar fights for survival within the Zone and its hostile sectors. The new Zone territories are explored by s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s scattered in groups—and these individual factions soon engage in relentless battle. As a mercenary, Scar quickly finds himself in the middle of a war of factions over territory, artifacts, and power. It is up to the player to find out on whose side Scar has the greatest chance of prevailing.
Clever adversaries, luscious graphics Just like its predecessor, Clear Sky perfectly captures the sinister atmosphere within the death Zone. DirectX 10 support enables spectacular graphics, including dynamic transitions between day and night with absolutely realistic light effects, as well as very detailed landscapes and lifelike animations. At the same time, the developers saw to it that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky also works with DirectX 8 and DirectX 9.
Special attention was given to realistic, independent thinking and actions of the NPCs. The artificial intelligence from the predecessor game was strongly improved, so that foes and allies now make their own situation-based decisions that impact the further course of the game. For instance, the outcome of battles is not predetermined. Only in the last few levels is the player guided towards a given end of the story, which leads to the events described in Shadow of Chernobyl.
Key features
* Unique mix of action-laden first-person shooter and complex role-playing game * Gigantic scope: many new levels are available, plus some completely overhauled levels from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and many side quests with motivating rewards * Realistic simulation of the extensive S.T.A.L.K.E.R. world: enemy factions fight each other, mutants hunt of their own accord. * Intermediate movie-quality cut scenes complement the thrilling back-story leading up to the events of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl * Numerous new in game features, such as fast travel, or extensive modification and repairing armor and weapons * Greatly improved artificial intelligence * Complete DirectX 10 support for state-of- the-art graphic effects (God rays, soft particles, SSAO, dynamic volumetric smoke, dynamically wetting surface (rain effect) etc.) * Dynamic transitions between day and night with realistic weather effects * Detailed graphics, including an all-new animation engine * Hugely expanded multiplayer part with many varied game modes and up to 32 players online or over LAN.

Orphaned Songs on Device
I finally got off my butt and started re-ripping "Intros" and the songs they accompany into single files. Great! Wonderful! While this all worked well, the specific problem I had was with "Parabol" and "Parabola" from Tool's "Lateralus" album. Once I had ripped the new, combined version, I deleted the old, individual songs. After synchronization with my Zune 120, the device refused to recognize the songs from "Lateralus" as belonging to the same album, even though individually played, they clearly were. Art was there, album title, too.
In the Zune software, I removed the songs from the device, then in the Collection, I resynchronized them. All was well with the world, as the songs showed up together as "Lateralus". However, the ORIGINAL versions, "Parabol" and "Parabola", are STILL on the device, floating disconnected from any album. They don't show up in the software, either in the Device view OR the Collection view, but they are still on the device and playable. (The new version, "Parabol / Parabola" is where it should be.)
I have noticed a few other orphans on the device with no way to get them off of there. Can anyone tell me how to remove these audio parasites? Will I have to remove everything and resynchronize? If so, how do I do that?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — You can tell Memphis' Josh Pastner he's a terrible coach, or he looks like a pre-teen, or that Kansas City barbecue is better than the kind you get all around the Mid-South.
You do not tell him he is coaching thugs.
MORE: Loss leaves Louisville frustrated | Ware to redshirt
That's what he heard when he was walking off the floor Thursday night following a 73-67 victory over No. 12 Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center, and he said he engaged those shouting fans by calling back that No. 24 Memphis had a perfect Academic Progress Rate (APR).
When he was walking toward his press conference, he encountered another person wearing a Louisville golf shirt who said the Tigers were classless, and Pastner responded with a raised voice, shouting that no one should call his players classless. (There was no profanity. He does not do profanity).
MORE: State-by-state basketball rankings
The Memphis players did celebrate a bit more obviously than usual on court, this being one of the biggest regular-season victories under Pastner. it lasted briefly. A couple bystanders near the tunnel where the Tigers exited the court said one player knocked over a cheerleader's megaphone that was resting to the side of the court.
Jody Demling of Cardinal Authority, a website that covers Louisville sports, reported on Twitter that a deep reserve for Memphis made two obscene gestures to the crowd while leaving the court. He did not identify the player.
"I think the Louisville fans are tremendous," Pastner said after making it to the podium. "They're like Memphis fans; they love their team. The only thing I ever get sensitive on is if anyone says our guys are low-class or anything in that manner. We have a perfect APR score, we graduated 10 guys last year, and our guys have done a great job in the Memphis community. Say I'm the worst coach in the world, say I can't coach zone, I'm the worst coach, I look like I'm 13, I should be fired, I'm the worst this or I'm the worst that — but the thing that gets to me is our kids. Because we have done a great job. That has been a point of emphasis."

Another bizarre but great episode. This really turned out to be one of favourite anime this season, I hope it keeps up with the "plot" coming in next season. Which reminds me one of the worst attributes of the lead director's previous works... story consistency. He pulled excellent and captivating introduction and build-up, but messed up the resolution. But to his defense that might have been a problem of other staff members, and his current ones work out the coming plot better.
EDIT: That bespectacled girl in ep. 12 was very cute
EDIT2: The teacher is the same from Houjou's school and the same in the phone-calls

SenColle 13 - The Lily in the Concrete
Characters come and go in this show. That's the nature of anthologies. But it's all still in the same universe, so even if things aren't explicitly overlapping, they're still intersecting. It makes for an interesting house-of-cards approach to the whole thing. In one episode, Ageha has become one of this show's most memorable characters. A country girl with her eyes set on world domination, a modern day freeter with a strong yuri streak (and other kinds of streaks.) That she managed to woo both Nobunaga and Sugi really shows her natural people skills.
The assassination attempts were decent physical comedy, and the Treasure subplot did surface again, but above all this episode stands out for its incredibly high yuri content. And there's been quite a few of those already. Even if Ageha is never heard from again, maybe she can make a cameo, bringing more of the samurai into her fold. It was a really great episode overall. Since every episode is named after a character (or group of characters), I think the show will continue being an anthology all the way up to the end. But that doesn't mean it can't be connected.

Well... the classic beach episode, with a hot spring bonus and more yuriservice
Who am i to complain?
They like to 'molest' Nobunaga a lot lol, second time already
I was thinking she was going to be Hideyoshi's exclusive.
So next ep maybe we'll see the new opening.

Sengoku (Present) 14 - Swords for All
We've hit the second half... and the same stride as the first continues. There's enough new characters in the new OP and ED to fill the second half easily, though Nobunaga's rival for the final battle is being pretty unsubtly foreshadowed. Nobunaga herself, though, is nowhere to be found this week. A pure slice of life episode, with bathing, games and dinner. Episodes like this rely on the strength of the characters, and on that note, I think it did a fine enough job. The multitude of uses for a sword was amusing, and Souji provided a nice foil to the other two. And once again, anything that involves boob touching is pretty okay with me. Even if the hot springs water hid what makes a breast a breast, the squishiness and slickness can't be denied. The second half is off and running.
So naturally, we go from slice of life to horror. Let the genre roulette wheel spin!

I wonder how she'll compare to Eri Kitamura's version of Mitsuhide. Or Sayuri Yahagi's in the upcoming Oda Nobuna. The historical baseline is the same, but seeing how each series interprets the character slightly differently is part of the fun.

In any case it means that Mitsuhide is in the modern world ...? She jumped into the column of light after Oda?
Mitsuhide and is normally an individual belonging to a servant of Oda but betrayed him, so it's a friend who then become an enemy ...?
and I like the OP and ED could have seen the "yuri" them ...
