A double bottom is a long or short-term pattern where two major low points in the price of a stock reaches approximately the same level. The two price lows are separated by a rally, which when exceeded marks the end of the pattern and a bullish prospect for the stock. Four stocks are very near breakout levels, or have already broken out, providing a profit target for the upside move which could develop.
SEE: Trading Double Tops And Double Bottoms
Archer Daniels Midland Company (NYSE:ADM) dropped to $25.02 in August, rallied to $29.23 by October and then collapsed in November to $24.38. These are the three important prices of a double bottom. While the lows didn't reach a similar level, overall the pattern is visible on a chart and therefore tradeable. A rally above $29.23 indicates buying interest has picked up to its highest level in months, and could push the stock to the target of $33.25 to $33.75. This key high has already been breached in 2013, so the target is now in play. Stops can be placed below either of the major lows, or just below support at $26.90. The lower the stop the greater the risk, but the trade has a slightly lower chance of getting stopped out.
Garmin Ltd. (Nasdaq:GRMN) reached a low of $35.55 in July and then $35.77 in November, creating a potential double bottom. Between the two lows the stock reached a high of $43.33 in October, which is breakout level to watch. A rally above that high indicates further bullishness is likely to follow, with a price target near $50. The $50 target is right near where the stock faltered on price peaks in February and May. If the breakout occurs, the safest stop level is below $35.55, but that is not a very appealing risk/reward ratio (about 1:1). Alternatively, a stop can be placed below the December low of $39.72, which has less risk exposure, a higher reward for the risk but also a greater chance of being stopped out.
SEE: The Anatomy Of Trading Breakouts
The Interpublic Group of Companies (NYSE:IPG) had extreme lows at $9.04 in July and $9.38 in November that marked a potential double bottom for this stock. The upside breakout point is $11.94, which is the high of the rally that occurred between the two lows. Over the last year though the stock has been in a range, with the high being $12.17, therefore, waiting for the stock to exceed this level has a higher chance of success. If exceeded, both the range and double bottom will be completed, indicating a profit target between $14.25 and $15.25. A stop can be placed below major support at $9.04 or $9.38, which isn't likely to be hit, but has a high risk exposure relative to profit, or a stop can be placed just below minor support at $10.50.
SEE: Support & Resistance Basics
PG&E Corp. (NYSE:PCG) has a smaller potential double bottom than the former stocks mentioned. The lows from November and December are $39.60 and $39.40, with the rally in between reaching $41.92. Closing at $40.67 on January 8, the stock is still a ways away from the breakout point, but warrants attention if it moves closer. A push above $41.92 indicates a move to roughly $44. Stop locations include just below $39.40, $39.60 or $40.20; the former stops are less likely to be hit, but the latter has lower risk exposure for the potential reward.
The Bottom Line
Double bottoms are a fairly common pattern, occurring on all timeframes. When the rally high between the two similar lows is exceeded, it indicates a more bullish activity is likely. Usually there are two or three price areas to place a stop level, and the risk tolerance of the trader will need to determine where the best location is. One problem with the pattern is that double bottoms may end up just being choppy trading ranges, resulting in multiple failed breakouts and losses. Double bottoms are quite easy to spot though, and when a breakout does occur the trades can be quite lucrative.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the Newseum, DC's museum about the news. Not only is it architecturally stunning, but it is situated in between the White House and the Capitol so the president is forced the view the First Amendment (which is carved in stone on the front of the building) on his way to work. I spent a few hours there, so I'll hit my favorite parts of my trip:
1. Berlin Wall
The Newseum has the largest collection of the Berlin Wall outside of Berlin. They also have a guard tower. Once the guard reached the top of the tower, the ladder helping him get up there would be taken away so that he couldn't leave. Apparently, many guards in East Germany would take the job, only to escape into West Germany. Without a ladder, the guards had no hope of escaping, as the guard tower reaches up three stories.
2. View from the top of the Newseum
The Berlin Wall is on the base level of the Newseum, so you take a glass elevator to the top floor and then work your way down. The balcony has a beautiful view of the Capitol and DC. Even though it was freezing outside, we went out to take a look.
3. Map of the Freedom of the Press
This map, constantly updated, represents every country's laws about the press. Green represents a free press, yellow represents a partly free press, and red represents a completely unfree press.
4. 9/11 Exhibit
The 9/11 exhibit was extremely powerful in its presentation. I don't want to ruin the exhibit for my two readers (hi, Mom and Dad), but I'll include this picture of the top of one of the Towers.
In addition to these, the Newseum also boasts a printing press, a portion of the Woolworth's counter from the famous sit-ins, and a mockup of Tim Russert's office. My visit to the Newseum serves as a great launching pad for the rest of my museum outings.

CBO learns from many outside experts. Part of that learning comes through our panels of advisers—a Panel of Economic Advisers and a Panel of Health Advisers—which consist of widely recognized authorities on a range of issues.
CBO learns from many outside experts. Part of that learning comes through our panels of advisers—a Panel of Economic Advisers and a Panel of Health Advisers—which consist of widely recognized authorities on a range of issues.
CBO Director Keith Hall testifies before the Senate Committee on the Budget, discussing CBO's commitment to providing information that is objective, insightful, and timely, and its plans and appropriation request for the coming year.
The federal government ran a budget deficit of $285 billion for the first seven months of fiscal year 2015, CBO estimates.
Under budgetary paths, but not particular policies, specified in the 2016 budget resolution conference report, total debt would be smaller than in CBO's baseline. Economic output would be lower in the next few years but higher thereafter.
The federal government ran a budget deficit of $430 billion for the first half of fiscal year 2015, CBO estimates—$17 billion more than the shortfall recorded in the same span last year.
I am both honored and thrilled to become the director of the Congressional Budget Office today. I thought I'd take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself. But first, I'd like to thank Doug Elmendorf for his outstanding leadership.
Today is my last day as CBO Director; tomorrow, my successor will begin his term. It has been an extraordinary privilege to lead CBO for the past six years and to have the opportunity to work with my amazing colleagues.
Sixteen laws enacted in 2014 contain intergovernmental mandates and 26 contain private-sector mandates. Of the 539 bills that CBO analyzed in 2014, 47 contained intergovernmental mandates and 75 contained private-sector mandates.
CBO requires that members of its panels of advisers and people being considered for the panels disclose any substantial political activity in which they may be involved and any significant financial interests they may have.
This report summarizes CBO's estimates of the budgetary effects of laws enacted in the 113th Congress that will affect mandatory spending or revenues. Those laws were enacted in calendar years 2013 and 2014.

Leach coaching tree spawning bowl coaches
Texas Tech staff of 2000
- RB coach Art Briles: Baylor head coach, Alamo Bowl
- IR coach Dana Holgorsen: West Virginia head coach, Orange Bowl
- WR coach Sonny Dykes: Louisiana Tech head coach, Poinsettia Bowl
- LB coach Ruffin McNeill: East Carolina head coach
- DC Greg McMackin: recently resigned as head coach at Hawaii
- OL coach Robert Anae: later became offensive coordinator at BYU
- DL coach Ron Harris: later become defensive coordinator at Houston
- DB coach Brian Norwood: later become defensive coordinator at Baylor, candidate for top job at Penn State
- ST coach Manny Matsakis: had brief stint as head coach at Texas State
Poinsettia Bowl
- Who: TCU (10-2) vs. Louisiana Tech (8-4)
- Where: Snapdragon (Qualcomm) Stadium
- When: 5 p.m. Wednesday
Mike Leach has a cell phone that doesn't allow callers to leave voice messages.
Smart move.
If it did, he'd never get any work done. The newly named head coach at Washington State would be listening to messages all day.
"I'm getting hit by so many people calling me for jobs," Leach said Tuesday.
You can't blame them. They don't just want jobs. They also want to be the next branch on a coaching tree that started with nine assistant coaches at Texas Tech in 2000, Leach's first year as major college head coach. Of those nine, six became Division I head coaches.
Three of those head coaches are coaching in bowl games this year, including Sonny Dykes, whose Louisiana Tech team faces Texas Christian Wednesday in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.
Two others barely missed out on becoming bowl-eligible this year: Greg McMackin (Hawaii) and Ruffin McNeill (East Carolina).
Another member of that staff is in the mix to replace Joe Paterno at Penn State (Brian Norwood).
"I think it shows you Mike's ability to hire good coaches," Dykes said.
It started in December 1999 after Leach was named head coach at Tech. He was given a $207,000 increase in Texas Tech's assistant salary pool to lure bright minds of a specific sort. On offense, they needed to be able to teach Leach's specialized spread system. On defense, they needed to be aggressive and innovative.
The first hires included Dykes, who was brought on as Tech's wide receivers coach. It also included inside receivers coach Dana Holgorsen, now the head coach at West Virginia, and running backs Art Briles, now the head coach at Baylor.
Before Leach hired them, Dykes was receivers coach at Kentucky. Briles was a high school head coach in Stephenville, Texas. Holgorsen had been a former receiver under Leach at Iowa Wesleyan.
Each had knowledge of Leach's trademark offense – a system that allows lesser-resourced programs a better chance to beat teams with more money. Despite having just a fraction of the athletics budget of Texas and Texas A&M, Tech still went to a bowl game all 10 years under Leach.
Because of that success, other schools have tried to replicate it by hiring off Leach protégés. It started en masse after the 2002 season, when Briles became head coach at Houston. McMackin, a defensive coordinator, left to take the same position with the San Francisco 49ers.
"I tried to select the most quality guys we could on the front end," said Leach, who was fired amid controversy from Tech in late 2009. "It doesn't surprise me. Some of them I envisioned as head coaches anyway… I never thought I'd have a tree of any kind, but, yeah, to have a coaching tree and people doing well, I'd like to think we're doing something right."
Dykes is the latest breakthrough branch. He's also the son of a West Texas coaching legend, Spike Dykes, Leach's predecessor at Texas Tech.

With Deaf Employees, Communication is a Two-Way Street
Interviewing, hiring, and working with people who have disabilities isn't that tough, says Steven Bock, who is deaf. As a software engineer for IBM, he provides technical consulting services on data management and disaster recovery for some of the corporation's largest client companies.
All HR has to do is concentrate on the candidates' abilities, not their disabilities, he says.
"My advice to HR people is to look at the quality of the individual with an open mind," says Bock, who lives in Seattle but works "remotely" for the San Jose-based IBM Silicon Valley Laboratory. He also is part of an IBM team that recruits deaf and hard-of-hearing students on college campuses. "Don't be concerned about the accommodation issues before you know the person. You want to hire the best-qualified person for the job."
Bock started at the company as an intern when he was a student at California State University, Northridge, which in the 2001-2002 academic year had 240 deaf students--the largest population of deaf students at a mainstream U.S. university.
Bock's internship led to a full-time job. "Being given a job is an exhilarating feeling," he says. It confirmed his commitment to make a positive contribution to the workplace, regardless of his deafness.
From time to time, Bock says, he has encountered resistance from hearing people at work. Their typical reaction is to ask if there's another person available--meaning a hearing person.
"It's becoming less and less common as the awareness of deafness and hard-of-hearing issues has become more prominent," Bock says. "But it has occurred, and it will continue to occur. You use those instances to try to build communication." He starts with "a good-natured approach to the relationship. I just suggest we start working together, working through an interpreter." With time, cooperative hearing people do get past perceived barriers.
In his work, Bock uses a variety of methods to communicate with his hearing colleagues and clients, including lip-reading, note-writing, typing notes back and forth on a computer, Internet chat, and, of course, the use of sign-language interpreters.
The latest innovation is remote video interpreting. Bock sits at his computer, which is outfitted with a Web camera and microphone. He dials the video interpreting service's phone number, and a sign-language interpreter appears on his computer screen. The interpreter and Bock can see and sign to each other.
Next, the interpreter asks for the number of the hearing person, and dials out. The hearing person is connected by telephone, and can pose questions to the interpreter, who signs to Bock. The interpreter then translates Bock's answers. The service can also be used during face-to-face meetings, Bock says. It's easy to schedule, and comparably priced to having an on-site interpreter.
Video interpreting is only one innovation that the Internet and Web have brought to people with disabilities. Bock says the technologies--including e-mail--have made a tremendous difference. "It helps to level the playing field, which is what deaf and hard-of-hearing people need--equal access."
Bock says that both disabled and non-disabled people have to work together to find the accommodations or adaptations a worker needs to get the job done. HR shouldn't assume it knows what the disabled worker requires, he says.
"It's prudent to ask the deaf or hard-of-hearing person what they need. Include them in the process, so they feel that they're a part of the organization and the team," he says. "And it's incumbent on the deaf person to request accommodations in job interviews or on the job."
Perhaps even more important than adaptive technology is attitude, Bock says.
"I try to show an attitude of being willing to work through communication issues in a positive and friendly manner. I counsel deaf and hard-of-hearing people to do that. And I'd say the same thing to an HR person. Communication is a two-way street."

"It is a core competency," Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis says. "We know how to manage transitions."
Announcing the acquisition in New York, Lewis wore a broad grin in describing what he called "the strategic opportunity of a lifetime" to merge the world's most renowned retail brokerage force with one of the country's largest consumer banks.
"We know we have a lot of hard work in the transition," Lewis said. But he was confident that the company could manage the change smoothly.
Since Lewis became CEO in 2001, Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America has made a slew of acquisitions, growing the company's employee base from 143,000 to more than 206,000, according to company filings. In 2004, the bank bought FleetBoston Financial for $47 billion, followed a year later by credit card company MBNA for $35 billion and US Trust for $3.3 billion.
The mortgage crisis claimed Lehman Brothers and its 25,000 employees as its latest victim when it declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy September 15. Bank of America, meanwhile, has been on something of a shopping spree. In addition to its purchase of Merrill Lynch, the bank completed a $4 billion acquisition of mortgage lender Countrywide this summer.
Lewis and Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain, appearing together to announce the September 15 purchase, said the deal complemented the strengths of the two companies. Merrill Lynch's 16,690 advisors—the company's iconic "thundering herd" of brokers—would give Bank of America a Wall Street perch to sell brokerage services to the bank's large base of high-net-worth customers.
An executive at Bank of America says the company's human resource executives would employ previously developed processes to bring the new workforce into the bank's existing business infrastructure and culture.
"People at Bank of America are used to [acquisitions]," says Peter McKillop, senior vice president for banking communications at the bank's global consumer and small business unit. "It's happened over and over again."
In past acquisitions, HR executives at Bank of America have worked with their counterparts at the acquired company to develop transition teams, McKillop says. These groups, which are composed of hundreds of employees, will again engage in what the company calls a "tollgate" analysis—a phrase borrowed from the quality-improvement process Six Sigma.
The tollgate process weeds out redundancies, identifies gaps and streamlines the business, says McKillop, who helped manage the transition during the acquisition of MBNA.
The company says it has identified $7 billion in efficiencies it believes the new acquisition will achieve by 2012. The company indicated it would merge Merrill Lynch's brokers with its own, creating a workforce of about 20,000 advisors.
Few details of the new Merrill Lynch have been announced, other than the company will retain its name and headquarters for its wealth management business in New York.
Thain's replacement of Merrill Lynch CEO Stan O'Neal late last year helped restore order to the brokerage, Bank of America executives say. They were optimistic his efforts would smooth the transition even as Thain lamented that he didn't think the company's 94-year history would end this way.
"This is not at all the outcome I would have expected when I took this job," Thain says.

'Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary - Greyhound Jasmiine Story'
Jasmine is a rescue dog who lives at the sanctuary. She is no ordinary rescue dog, she is the most amazing greyhound in the world!
She was only a young pup when she was locked in a shed and abandoned. When she was discovered by the police many days later she was emaciated, mange ridden and terrified. She was taken to the RSPCA quarters in Coventry where Geoff just happened to be visiting several weeks later. They were introduced and as they say 'the rest is history'. She came to live with Geoff at the sanctuary. Each day her confidence grew and her personality flourished. But the most amazing thing was yet to come....
It turned out Jasmine was a natural 'Mother hen'. One day a young fox cub was brought in to the sanctuary. She had been tied to railing and left to die. She was very small and weak and the outlook wasn't bright. That was until Jasmine sauntered over to the fox cubs basket and started to lick her. Geoff was immediately concerned, followed by bemusement, followed by amazement as he saw before his eyes the fox responding to Jasmines touch. He quickly realised that Jasmine was acting in the same way the fox cubs mother would have done in the wild!
Over the next few days Jasmine continued to 'mother' the fox cub who Geoff had named Roxy. Roxy grew strong and grew up. She lives at the sanctuary with Jasmine who is mum and best friend all rolled into one.
Jasmine Is truly one of a kind. She has mothered many of the sanctuaries residents back to health including Bramble the roe deer, humbug the badger and two of the other sanctuary dogs just to mention a few.

The current issue of Democratization (Volume 19, Issue 1, Feb 2012) is devoted to special theme of "Reassessing Coloured Revolutions and Authoritarian Reactions".
In introductory essay, No more colour! Authoritarian regimes and colour revolutions in Eurasia, Evgeny Finkel and Yitzhak M. Brudny propose a new typology of authoritarian reactions to the challenge of coloured pro-democracy uprisings, and present the main findings of this special issue:
By presenting a series of qualitative, country-focused studies we aim to explore the whole spectrum of potential anti-democratization policies, ranging from preventing elite splits at the top (the case of Azerbaijan), to establishing supervision bodies at the community level (Uzbekistan); from brutally and violently cracking down on protesters (Iran), to using very limited physical force (Belarus); from staging mass rallies (Russia), to fearing any type of mass mobilization (Tajikistan). Our main findings, however, are that the strategies adopted by the governments of these diverse states follow a similar logic of isolation, marginalization, distribution, repression and persuasion and that the specific policies are shaped by regimes' perceived intensity of a threat to regime survival and the regime's perceived strength vis-à-vis the democratic opposition.
The essay on Iran has been written by Güneş Murat Tezcür (Loyola University), titled Democracy promotion, authoritarian resiliency, and political unrest in Iran (Gated). Tezcür is the author of Muslim Reformers in Iran and Turkey: The Paradox of Moderation (2010).
This article argues that recent de-democratization in Iran can be best understood by analysing the interplay of domestic Iranian politics and two external developments. These were the colour revolutions in several post-communist states and the hostile US policies toward Iran after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Together they generated a political climate in Iran conducive to hardliner attempts to discredit and neutralize the reformist opposition. The regime tried to delegitimize the opposition by portraying it as being in the service of foreign elements and claiming it was seeking to foment a popular uprising. The consequences were twofold. On the one hand, the regime's identification of civic and political activism as threats to national security greatly reduced the manoeuvrability of the reformist opposition and contributed to their marginalization. These developments point to the limits and unintended consequences of democracy promotion in Iran. On the other hand, the post-electoral protests of 2009 exposed the limits of conspiracy discourse in silencing mass discontent. This article argues that the regime's attempt to portray the unrest as a foreign conspiracy failed to convince a large segment of the population.

Public prosecutor Wajid Sheikh then told the court that even during the matches, a large number of calls were made by Gurunath Meiyappan to arrested actor Vindoo Dara Singh, who would then call bookies Jupiter, Pawan Jaipur and Sanjay Jaipur asking them to place the bets.
The remand application said the Crime Branch investigated Gurunath Meiyappans relations with controversial Pakistani umpire Asad Rauf who was allegedly in touch with bookies. Police also scanned financial arrangement between Vindoo and Meiyappan.
Cricket is a natural game but they make it unnatural, Sheikh had said.
Defence counsel Abad Ponda had then replied that Meiyappans arrest was illegal, indicating if a person appears before the police pursuant to summons, he cannot be arrested. Moreover, there is no wrongful gain and nobody was cheated. In fact, Gurunath lost money.
Speaking to mediapersons therafter, Joint Commissioner (crime) Himanshu Roy said that as per the normal procedure, police would search the premises owned by Meiyappan to gather evidence. Meiyappan, he had said, was placing bets through Vindoo, not only on matches involving his own team but other IPL entities as well for the last two years. He had added though Meiyappan had lost Rs 1 crore through betting in the current IPL season, he mostly won when he betted on matches involving the Chennai franchise.
Roy had said Meiyappan used to facilitate Vindoos entry into the VIP hospitality box during CSKs matches. Vindoo, he said, also personally knew several players of Kolkata Knight Riders. He had further claimed that Rauf fled India on being tipped off by Vindoo about an impending crackdown after the spot-fixing scandal was exposed with the arrest of three Rajasthan Royals players.
He revealed Mumbai police had seized a gift parcel containing high-end watches, denims and T-shirts that one of the bookies who Vindoo had reportedly helped escape to Dubai had sent to Rauf from Delhi airports cargo terminal.

BALTIMORE, Maryland, August 2. SHORTLY after news broke that CUBU Swim Club co-founder Rick Curl had resigned from the club, ending a short leave of absence, the Washington Post reported that Curl has waived the initial emergency Board of Review hearing by USA Swimming.
Waiving this hearing means that Curl has accepted the initial provisional suspension of his membership in USA Swimming. Last month, reports surfaced that Curl was under investigation by USA Swimming for allegations that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement with a swimmer and her parents, and allegedly paid them off to remain silent on allegations of sexual relations with the swimmer that began when she was 13 and he was 33 in the 80s.
Curl, by accepting the provisional suspension, "did not admit guilt and retained the right to contest USA Swimming's request for a lifetime ban from the sport." The full National Board of Review hearing is scheduled to take place on Sept. 19.
Just for a refresher on the USA Swimming banning process. When the organization finds or is provided what it deems actionable evidence of a code of conduct violation, it calls for an emergency Board of Review hearing. Should the initial hearing deem that this evidence does support a potential membership ban, a provisional suspension is put in place. Members who get to this phase of the ban process are then added to an internal "flagged" list. This list prevents the member from moving to a new club, if that new club follows background check procedures that include checking with USA Swimming.
Then, USA Swimming calls a full hearing of the National Board of Review. If the member is found guilty of a code of conduct violation, the member then has 30 days to appeal the decision. Once the appeal window concludes, the member is then added to the Banned for Life list publicly.

To have any credibility and to prove the iowa game wasnt a fluke.
I have a feeling this season is going to have it's ups and downs. If we execute like we did Saturday, there's no reason we can't win that game.
I agree - we've got a couple of tough games following Toledo, so we really could use the win this week to give us some momentum

Exactly. I just have a feeling now that our guys are going to want to win every game from here on out just as bad as they wanted to beat Iowa. I can sense the beginning of an attitude change in our team. I hope I'm right.

What's hot today are strong women, emotionally and physically, not stick-thin supermodel.
Qué cool Natalie. I've never been the stick-thin supermodel type. But how can regular ol' me achieve Arnold Schwarzenegger status?
Set a goal to work out.
But focus on building strength by lifting weights.
You will almost immediately see and feel the benefits of strength training:
- a faster metabolism (so you burn more calories throughout the day even when you're sitting)
- increased bone density and strength
- more endurance, strength, and balance
I've heard that before, Natalie, but lifting weights isn't fun like dance-based fitness classes. I can't stay focused and motivated!
Try CrossFit.
It uses elements of weightlifting and gymnastics. What sets Crossfit apart from other popular strength-based workouts such as the P90X home DVD series (which I can't wait to try) is the emphasis on goal setting and community.
Checa this YouTube video and try these crazy moves.
Where do I sign up?
Any gym can become an "affiliate" and offer the program which features a Workout Of the Day (WOD). This is posted both at the gym and on the CrossFit website, allowing everyone to do the same workout–beginners and veterans. The only thing that changes are the weights and intensity.
I recently checked out this workout at a Washington, DC gym.
¡Instantly, I became a fan!
I loved the sense of community literally all around me: the walls were decorated with encouraging words, photos, and personal bests of participants.
Five of us showed up for the class: two men and three women, from their 20s to their 50s, demonstrating that this workout really is for everyone. The gym owner and trainer led us through a warm-up, reviewed weight lifting technique, then instructed us to work up to our max dead lift (lifting as much weight as you possibly can).
Although each person trains alone, there is a dynamic from a support group. When someone tried lifting a new max weight, everyone else stopped, egged them on, and congratulated the accomplishment.
¿Nothing like applause to keep you going and sticking to your strength-training routine, no?
After dead-lifts, we moved on to the workout.
(I wondered: Isn't this what we had been doing?!)
This WOD was a series of 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 push ups and squats as fast as you can.
To clarify: as in 10 push ups, 10 squats, then 9 push ups, 9 squats–you get the picture.
¡Burn, baby burn!
50 minutes later, I left the gym feeling fierce and accomplished.
CrossFit recap:
- Was I engaged? ¡Sí! The encouragement made it easy to work hard and be 100% in the moment.
- Was I challenged? ¡Sííí! I had never even tried a deadlift before.
If you're looking for a fun, supportive community to push you to meet and exceed your fitness goals, try CrossFit.
I did.
And I'm going back for more.

Uggla's streak ends at 33
ATLANTA -- The Chicago Cubs stopped Dan Uggla's 33-game hitting streakand rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 onSunday.
The Braves led 4-0 through five innings and 5-4 through six before Carlos Pena's two-run homer in the seventh.
Uggla's streak was the longest in the majors in five years. He was 0-for-3 with an RBI.
Hisbest chance to extend the streak came in the fifth. Second basemanDarwin Barney made a diving catch of Uggla's fly ball in shallow rightfield.
Uggla grounded out to shortstop against Jeff Samardzijain the seventh in his final at-bat. He didn't come up in the ninth,when Carlos Marmol earned his 28th save.
Marmol walked MichaelBourn, who had three hits, with two outs in the ninth. Bourn stolesecond base but Martin Prado popped out to third baseman Aramis Ramirezto end the game. If he had reached, Uggla would have been on deck.
His teammates patted him on the back and hugged him in the dugout after the game.
TheCubs have won 11 of 14 and four straight series for the first timesince Sept. 9-21, 2008. They have won 10 of their last 14 games.
Uggla'sstreak was the longest in the majors since 2006, when Philadelphia'sChase Utley had a 35-game streak. Philadelphia's Jimmy Rollins had a38-game streak that began in 2005 and carried through the start of 2006.
Ugglastreak passed Rico Carty's 31-game streak in 1970 as the longest inAtlanta Braves history. The franchise record is 37 games by TommyHolmes for the 1945 Boston Braves.
Throwing errors by Cubs pitchers Matt Garza and John Grabow in the first and sixth innings, led to Atlanta runs.
Atlantatook a 5-4 lead in the sixth when Jason Heyward singled off Grabow(3-0), stole second and scored on Grabow's wild throw to first on agrounder by Alex Gonzalez.
The Cubs answered in the seventh whenDarwin Barney singled and scored on Pena's 23rd homer to right fieldoff Eric O'Flaherty (1-4).
Cubs manager Mike Quade said beforethe game the team has moved past the controversy of pitcher CarlosZambrano cleaning out his locker and leaving the team on Friday nightand being placed on the disqualified list on Saturday.
"Look, grown-ups make decisions, and he made a decision," Quade said. "And that's his deal at this point, it's not mine."
Bournsingled in the first and moved to third when Garza fielded Prado's softgrounder and threw high to second for an error. Bourn scored on Uggla'sfly ball to left.
Garza's six errors lead all pitchers in themajors, according to STATS LLC. The six errors match his total from hisfirst five seasons in the majors.
The Braves added two runs inthe second on RBI singles by Bourn and Prado and stretched the lead to4-0 in the fourth when Jose Constanza walked, stole second and thirdand scored on Bourn's broken-bat single to center.
The Cubsscored four runs in the sixth. Brandon Beachy, who gave up two runs onsix hits in 5 1-3 innings, was lifted after allowing singles by Barneyand Aramis Ramirez and Pena's run-scoring fly ball. Scott Linebrinkreplaced Beachy and gave up three straight hits, including TylerColvin's two-run single.
Arodys Vizcaino's wild pitch to Blake DeWitt allowed Geovany Soto to score from third.
Rightfielder Jason Heyward, making his first start since Wednesday, made adiving catch of a line drive hit by Colvin to end the fourth inningwith runners on first and second. Heyward, running toward the foulline, saved at least one run when he made the catch while divingforward and landing on his chest.
Hanson to DL
ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves have placedright-hander Tommy Hanson on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive toAug. 7, with right shoulder tendinitis. The team activated catcher Brian McCannfrom the disabled list. McCann, returning from a strained left oblique,is starting in Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The Braves also activated right-handerScott Linebrink (lower back strain) from the 15-day disabled list andoptioned right-hander Anthony Varvaro to Triple-A Gwinnett. Hanson allowed seven runs in 3 1-3 inningsin an 11-7 loss at the New York Mets on Aug. 6. An MRI on his shouldershowed no structural damage. Right-hander Jair Jurrjens (right kneestrain) is eligible to come off the disabled list Tuesday, when theBraves will need a starter to replace Hanson.
Diamondbacks 5, Mets 3
PHOENIX -- Justin Upton homered and Paul Goldschmidt doubled twice to help the Arizona Diamondbacks edge the New York Mets 5-3 on Sunday afternoon for their sixth straight win.
Arizona starter Jason Marquis, acquired in a July 30 trade from Washington, was hit on the right shin by a line drive and left the game one inning later with a broken fibula.
Goldschmidt snapped a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning, doubling to the left-field corner and scoring on Henry Blanco's double to left off Mets starter Chris Capuano (9-11).
Zach Duke (3-4), who came on in relief of Marquis, allowed two runs on four hits over 2 2-3 innings and David Hernandez pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances.
Giants 5, Marlins 2
MIAMI -- Ryan Vogelsong pitched into the eighth inning to earn his career-high 10th win and the San Francisco Giants used four home runs to beat the slumping Florida Marlins 5-2 Sunday.
Cody Ross ended the Giants' major league-record streak of 21 consecutive solo homers when he hit a two-run shot in the third inning. It was the first non-solo homer for San Francisco since July 6.
Nate Schierholtz started a new streak with a solo homer in the fourth. Brandon Belt, recalled Saturday from Triple-A, hit solo homers in the sixth and eighth.
Vogelsong (10-2) struck out eight while allowing two runs and four hits in 7 2-3 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.47.
Santiago Casilla retired Mike Stanton with two on to end the eighth. Ramon Ramirez came on to retire Brett Hayes with two on and two out in the ninth for his second save in three chances. All-Star closer Brian Wilson was unavailable because of a sore back.
The home run total tied a season high for the Giants, who rank next to last in the majors in runs. They took the series after losing their past four series.
The Marlins faced the Giants' top three starters in the series, and the results showed -- Florida totaled four runs and 15 hits. The Marlins, who have struggled at home all season, went 1-9 on their homestand.

& Welcome to our web site! The content of this publication
is about Coffee, and associated subjects.
the 2nd largest commodity traded worldwide, it is allowed
to have some space of it's own as a subject matter. There
is an article following which we hope shows Coffee to
be worthy of discussion.
will be regularly updating the newsletter with Promotions,
Recipe's, Articles, and anything else that we hope you
will find interesting.
you can order online from us. Contact us first, and we
will give you a confidential order number to verify that
the order is from you, then we can deliver the order and
invoice directly to you as per normal. Simply go to order
form on this website, then fill in the form. Easy!
an interesting experiment to try, if youre keen! You
can order your green beans through us.
can admit it here, we won't laugh. You want to roast your
own beans.
There now, doesn't that feel better?
It's not a crazy idea. Green beans are far less expensive
than those that are roasted
ahead of time and can be safely stored for up to two years
without loss of flavour. By roasting your own, you also
know you're getting the freshest cup of coffee possible.
As far as flavour, well, that depends a lot on you. If
you favour the
light roasts, you will find it very difficult to approximate
their flavours using the pan method. If you favour the
darker styles, you stand a good chance of success simply
by using a common skillet.
Want to get started?
Okay, start by selecting some green beans. Take a common
skillet and place it on a burner set to high. You need
a temperature of approximately 500F to roast coffee.
When the skillet has heated sufficiently, pour the beans
in and begin shaking. Do not let the beans come to rest
on the pan surface. If you do, they will
burn. As you shake the beans, you will begin to notice
the beans changing colour, from an olive green to a yellow-green
You will also need a lot of wrist strength! You have to
keep the beans moving in the skillet from 6-9 minutes,
and perhaps much longer (depending on the roast style
you prefer).
If you can keep the pan shaking at the 6-9 minute mark,
you will hear the beans begin to pop. This is what the
roasters call "First Crack". Once this crackling stops,
the beans should have turned a light, golden brown and
you may stop. If you do, you have what many call a "New
England Roast".
If you're experimenting, go ahead and stop and, when they've
cooled, grind these fresh roasted beans and sample the
Be exact. Precisely measure the amount of ground coffee
and water you use, and then take notes on the flavours
you perceive in the cup. If you know you want a darker
roast when that first crackling stops then by all means,
keep shaking! The longer you go, the easier it is to burn
the beans so shake it baby, shake it. The beans will be
getting darker and darker and at
some point you will hear the "Second Crack". Get ready
now, when the crackling stops this time you will be at
what is called "Full City Roast". There are darker roasts,
including the level of roast used for creating beans for
Espresso, but you may not want to go there yet. Then again,
coffee lovers seem to have a sense of adventure. Roast
There was a time when the "chore" of roasting coffee was
replaced by roasting machines. In a world where clothes
were still scrubbed by hand, anything that lessened the
labours of life was seen as an improvement. But today
we have the luxury to choose to make our own pasta, or
bake our own bread, or roast our own coffee. Today we
realise that though it is often a lot of work, it is well
worth the effort to revisit the days of the home-grown,
the hand-made, the home-roasted .

The Buzz, 9-30: Tere
on a Tear
Dear Mr. O'Connor: Put up or Shut up
By Paul
Copyright 2005 The Dance Insider
Poor Tere O'Connor.
He doesn't want to be liked; he wants to be understood. Not enough
for this choreographer-verbeographer that, with the best equipment
available to her -- all any of us in the critical field can offer
-- Joan Acocella attempted, in an August New Yorker column, to do justice to the work
of O'Connor and three other artists, as seen in recent concerts,
using her considerable descriptive powers to colorfully cram into
the limited space her editors gave her as many vivid details from
the choreographers' creations as she could, framing each work and
the ensemble in a larger theme so that she could give her (general)
readers a story with an arc and not just a regurgitation of four
evenings of dance with accompanying thumbs up and thumbs down that
only dance insiders would care to read. Tere has to throw a public
tantrum because he didn't get his own review but had to share Joan's
column with three other artists, and because for Tere, it's not
enough that a reviewer come to his concert and then sit down afterwards
to try to translate it to a larger audience; she has to reach out
to him for supplementary information on his concept if he failed
to make it clear in the work at hand.
Here's some of what
Joan had to say about O'Connor's "Frozen Mommy," after sharing some
of the juicy details of the work: "Emotion is thus taken seriously,
and also undercut, with great psychological accuracy. At the end,
the dancers stand stock still, with their hands on their hips, for
about three unbearable minutes. 'Enough of these histrionics!' they
seem to say. Then one of them falls to the floor, sobbing, and the
lights go out. Is your heart broken? No, but it is shaken. You saw
Mommy, and she was frozen."
Efficiency in selection
of details, followed by pure poetry in summing up how the work hit
her. Sounds like a rave to me -- but not to Tere, who whines, in
a letter to the New Yorker which he's been circulating to the dance
community, "Through her lack of understanding and her inability
to reach out and get information from artists, (Acocella) joins
a group of critics whom I will call 'the literalists.' These critics
do not know how to read dances created outside the restricted confines
of the narrative or musical frameworks from past centuries. What's
more, they don't do the work of finding out what is actually
going on in the minds of artists or what are the contexts in which
these works are created." (Emphasis added.) (O'Connor's uber-complaint
is that Acocella groups him and the three other artists she reviews
into a modern dance trend she thumbnails as 'Downtown surrealism.')
I see. So Tere, it's
not enough that a critic know how to sell an article on your perhaps
obtuse-seeming (to the general public) dance to an editor who likely
doesn't care about dance, doesn't know dance or, just as likely,
doesn't like it; that she do the Herculean work of fitting as many
concerts as possible into very compressed space not because she
wants to reduce you all to one common mien, but because she wants
to SPREAD THE WORD about your movement; and that she is likely doing
so for very little remuneration, no matter how talented she is and
for how long she's been at her craft. No, she also has to seek you
out and have you tell her your preferred context, the one you seem
to have failed to get across on stage to a seasoned dance critic
who, if you read her with any regularity, you would know is not
stuck in the Romantic and Classical ballet eras, as your letter
contends, but devoted to doing her best as one reporter on the biggest
dance beat in the world. No Tere, you are pissed and pissy and pissing
on the critic, and all her supposed ilk, because she doesn't describe
you and appreciate you as you would describe and as you appreciate
But Mr. O'Connor does
not stop at his catty and unfounded reductions of my respected colleague.
(Okay for him to reduce her to cliches of the corseted balletomane;
not okay for her to reduce him into being a surrealist.) No, in
a snippy forward to his letter to the New Yorker which accompanies
the copy he's circulating to the community, he states (who's being
pompous now?), "I hope it will spark some discussion about the unfortunate
state of dance writing."
MR. O'CONNOR. I've had
it with people like you taking out your frustrations by pissing
on MY community, without which there would be no record in the public
ledger of YOUR community. We are not the enemy! I've tried in the
past to avoid adducing the writers of this publication when this
criticism of criticism has come up, because it might seem self-serving,
but simple pride and outrage prevent me from doing so any longer.
(My fingers are even shaking on the keyboard.) For more than seven
years now, the Dance Insider has been introducing a new generation
of dancer-critics to the field of dance writing, as well as showcasing
some of the brightest veteran critics -- most of them dance artists
themselves. Until this month, except for an occasional stipend these
dancer-critics have worked FOR FREE, providing expert, authoritative
reviews (including of your company), all of which YOU and anyone
else have been able to read FOR FREE. (If not the only, we are the
largest dance-only publication to offer this.) Not because they
don't value their work but because rather than just bemoan the sorry
state of the field, they decided to do something about it. Instead
of just griping about dance criticism and journalism, they, along
with the dancer webmistress of this publication, decided to grow
Tere, as self-satisfying
as it may feel to apply your considerable wit to dissing a critic
who doesn't understand you as you'd like to be understood, wouldn't
it be more productive to apply your literary talent -- and authority
-- to making your own dance criticism? To paraphrase Scoop Nisker:
If you don't like the reviews, go out and make some of your own.
We'll publish 'em.

Dancing With The Stars Recap: Season 13 Finale Performances Bring Two Perfect Scores
November 21, 2011 07:09 PM by Lisa Princ
Dancing With The Stars was back tonight on ABC with the exciting season 13 finale performances! How did your favorite finalist fare tonight? Read on for all the highlights!
Dancing With The Stars kicked off the season 13 finale tonight as Tom announced that each of the three couples would be performing one unlearned dance, and then the ole favorite, the freestyle.
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough were first to take the stage with their Cha Cha Cha, and we watched as Carrie Ann helped give Ricki some tips. Ricki Lake vowed to be sexy in this dance, and she was smoking! Donning a red mini dress, Ricki's footwork was spot on, matching Derek perfectly as the danced to Chris Brown's Yeah3X. The judges were up for critique, and Len kicked off by saying it was an action packed performance, deserving of the finals, but it could have been more fluid. Bruno agreed, but called it a Cha Cha running at full steam, telling Ricki she has never been better or hotter. Carrie Ann told Ricki she looked fierce, and that Ricki was living the dance. For this routine, Ricki Lake and Derek Hough earned a 27.
Ricki and Derek were back with their Freestyle, and Derek was determined to be tough on Ricki, in an attempt to get Ricki to blow this one away. Their Freestyle kicked off with Derek flipping around the stage, while Ricki pushed her way through an old life size picture of herself. This routine was a fun mix of the Quickstep and Salsa to Can't Touch It, complete with effortless lifts. Len kicked off by saying that it was entertaining, although she lost it a little bit in the Quickstep. Bruno called it amazing, while Carrie Ann loved it and was impressed by how well Ricki handled the lifts, which she was terrified of in the past. Derek and Ricki Lake earned another 27 for this performance, totaling 54 for the pair tonight.
Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke
Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke would be tackling the Waltz for their unlearned routine tonight, and Rob got some pointers from Bruno Tonioli during rehearsals, and his best advice was to listen to Cheryl. Rob did very well with this performance, it was beautiful to watch and very romantic. The couple danced to It Is You (I Have Loved), and Cheryl looked gorgeous in a pink gown, but was it Rob who was proving to be Cinderella this season? Maybe, according to the judges anyway! Bruno kicked off by saying Rob was so full of expression, but he missed some footwork. Carrie Ann called Rob the male version of Cinderella, but she was wowed by it. Len told Rob Kardashian that he had good hold and posture, but he lost his posture at times, and ending by saying it was simply beautiful. Ron Kardashian and Cheryl Burke earned a 27 for this routine.
Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke were up next with their Freestyle, and Cheryl, who knows a thing or two about Freestyles, realized that Rob seemed to do the best with slower routines first, so they decided to go with a slower start, ending up in a quicker dance. Rob and Cheryl performed to Hi De Ho, and it was by far Rob's best performance to date. It started off slow, but then got fast, and was full of fun lifts. Rob also made sure to throw in some booty shaking action, for the perfect Freestyle routine. We also got to see a glimpse of The Kardashian clan, complete with Kim Kardashian, in the audience cheering Rob on. Bruno kicked off calling it a brilliant performance, while Carrie Ann said that to earn a 10 you have to blow the judges away, and she was blown away. Len Goodman gushed as well about how much he loved it. Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke earned a perfect score of 30 for this performance, giving them a total of 57 points.
J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff
J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff were last, but not least tonight which was also the Cha Cha Cha. J.R. Martinez kicked off by having his ankle examined, and the doctor informed him that there was no fracture, just some swelling and pain, so with some pain killers he would be okay. Len came in to advice J.R. Martinez, and he reminded J.R. that while Derek Hough and Cheryl Burke have won the mirror ball in the past, Karina has not. J.R. Martinez and Karina performed their Cha Cha Cha to Jennifer Lopez's Let's Get Loud and it was performed well. The crowd went wild and could not stop cheering for these two, but the judges were not as crazy about the performance. Carrie Ann kicked off by saying J.R.'s musicality was off a little, while Len Goodman thought it was brave that J.R. Martinez did a lot of the dance on his own, but that it was not that good. Bruno said he really loved the mood that J.R. set, and that the character was great. J.R. and Karina earned a 24, with one 8 from Carrie Ann, a 7 from Len, and a 9 from Bruno, for this performance.
J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff decided to go with a Latin style routine for their Freestyle, and at the last minute, J.R. decided to change some of the lifts for Karina's safety. The pair performed to Whine Up, and talk about a come back! This routine was rocking – by far the best of the night! It was fun, full of energy and dangerous lifts. The crowd loved it, as did the judges. Carrie Ann kicked off by saying that was the way to come back, and they had the sickest lifts ever. Len said two things were revealed in this dance – Karina's body and his talent. Bruno called it brilliant and gushed about what a great comeback it was. J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff earned a 30 for this performance, giving them a total of 54 for the night.
That meant that for the first time this season, Rob Kardashian was in first place! Ricki and J.R. tied for 2nd place, so it is time for you to vote! Don't assume that your favorite is safe – go vote! Who are you rooting for this season? Tell us who you think should take home the mirror ball trophy! Comment below and share your thoughts with us!

Global Death Cross Accelerates As World Bank Slashes Growth
The World Bank joined the hallowed ranks of the IMF and admitted it was clueless last night, slashing growth estimates for every developed and developing nation from Brazil to the US. The "bumpy start" as they called it merely exacerbated what is now becoming a dismal joke as the death cross of GDP growth expectations and world stock market valuations diverge in an ever more fragile manner.
And this after JPMorgan slashed US expectations...

What goes up must come upper?
Tonight we go back in the USSA! On arrival, just in time to watch our markets do whatever. Or watch soccer.
Hmm, tough choice picking which will give me a better nap...
The sequel to the 2007 blockbuster:
"Engineered Financial Collapse - Godzilla FED and Rodan Wall Street Destroy Main Street".
No hats, but free bottles of bubbles with wand for S&P 666.
peak everything
Another "Death Cross" , let me go place a buy order for 100,000 shares of SPXU at the bid. Gonna make tons of $$$ on THIS DEATH CROSS cause this one will be different than the 20 preceding death crosses over the last year.
The only Death Cross have been atop the graves of the poor bastards trying to short this market. I gave up that bad habit already ..
I'm afraid this so-called death cross is a lot of BS:
They are measuring 2 different quantities on two different scales, plotted on the same graph. Depending on what the chosen origin points are, and the scale factor chosen for display, I can make this chart look anyway you'd like it to be.
This is one is designed to make you think there is a cross when in fact the odds are there isn't any such "crossing".
Another 2008-2009 crash coming? This time followed by a real global depression and war? I look forward to the smart ass comments (as in 2008-2009) that gloom and doomers are full of it and the S@P will hit 2200 by the end of next year and that all is well. I suppose it could, but these moronic cheerleaders will be proven to be disastrously wrong in the end. All is not well. The next year or two are perhaps the most dangerous and likely disastrous in the history of the world. That is my take.
You spelled savvy wrong.
Party on.
No, not a "2008" I think.
Sovereign Default or Revaluation.
But when it goes this time it will be wall to wall and deep.
The whole world is in trouble.
It's like that string of mountain climbers, Ya got a couple 300 pound guys, a 250 pounder next, then the 200's and so on.
If one goes, It starts to build on itself like dominos. Imagine the global shipping? Imagine Letters of Credit could not be agreed on by various financial institutions that may be going under. Imagine those supplies that you can now get shipped overnight.
Like a power grid failure, each transformer trips another one , and on till the whole grid is down.
popcorn time
Thanks for your support, but that was a crazy gig and not in a good way. Cher refused to go onstage once it was revealed it was Sonny outside. Anderson Cooper was walking around interrogating people for no reason (there was no crew/he had no microphone). The last straw for us occurred when we heard Planned Parenthood was handing out brown acid...
Sooooooo... Continue to BTFD and turn profits into tangible assets until the 'market' vaporizes in overnight trading then duck and cover for WWIII... Got it.
Don't get me wrong, I am no Goldman Sachs technician but I have to say that top chart seems to have a strong inverse correlation. The worse GDP gets the higher the market goes.
That said, looking around things are going to shit with the global economy so that means only one thing: E-Minis to the moon, year end price target revised higher; S&P 2200.
Yea, like fundamentals have anything to do with the stock market. Death cross = ES +10, and I'll buy another round of beers with my SPY gains.
lots of prep and Preparation H, everyone is going to get double fisted. Short bets will not be honored since there are multiple (and I mean MULTIPLE) claims on assets. Chinese metal warehouse issues are just the tip of the 900 pound elephants nose in the gorilla tent and it don't take a rocket surgeon to figure that out. Did I get that right?
you know shit's getting down right scary when even Joe LaVorgna is telling the Fed it's time to raise rates. then again, given his track record, even that would somehow be bullish.
...and a Q2 negative GDP print would be even more bullish-er, cuz, as usual, we'll get it all back and then some in the 2nd half.
it really does make perfect sense that they are going in opposite directions if you think about it. lower (fake ass) gdp numbers means MOAR BITCHEZ.
Next year forced conversions of 401s and pensions to T-bills or a variation on that.
FOMC bloviates on the 18th. 6 years of POMO and this is what we have.
Have the banksters and their friends made enough from POMO, or do they need MOAR and MOAR and MOAR??
Stop spending folks. Cut your cable and get a $20 antenna. Buy essentials only. Get online ware from sites that offer it for free. Stop driving, unless essential.
The best way to fuck the banksters is to stop spending. Notice the -1.1, oh wait, the -1.7 GDP for Q1? That's what we need for Q2. The only thing inflation helps is the massive blob guberment's debt spending.
The economic recovery that the media and talking heads have been bantering around does not exist and is just a myth. A manipulated stock market distorted by recent economic policy hides and mask the real truth, in many ways it is ground zero in the war to convince us all is well.
The American people and Main Street will tell you they are far from convinced that it is smooth sailing ahead. Huge weakness in the economy has been shown by numbers that barely get by even after record amounts of stimulus. Fact is if QE or the massive government deficit spending that props up our economy is removed it will fold like a cheap umbrella.
Recent changes in how the GDP is figured , which boosted growth thus reducing the debt to growth ratio, and attempts to spin poor numbers regarding employment have been met with skepticism. More on this subject in the article below.

Daughter of Scranton's first black teacher recalls her mother's legacy
On Aug. 7, 1953, Helen Mitchell Brown made Scranton history as the first black teacher in the school district.
Then 22, Helen Mitchell said she felt "on top of the world" at the news that she had filled the 13th and final open position as an elementary instructor.
The lifelong Scranton resident died Sunday, at the age of 82.
Her father, Robert J. Mitchell, a coal miner turned night employee of the Hotel Casey, had to be woken up to hear the news she had been given the job.
"You've made history, Sis," he said to his daughter.
She spent 39 years teaching kindergarten and second grade at James Madison and Prescott schools where her daughter Lynne White, 51, Taylors, S.C., said she gained a strict reputation.
"She was tough, but they all loved her," Mrs. White said. "Every year, she got gifts from all the kids."
Growing up, Mrs. White said she often helped her mother prepare items for her classroom.
"She would buy them stuff to go to Nay Aug Park and to go to other places," Mrs. White said. "She would always buy for the underprivileged kids."
She also made sure education was the top priority.
"She leaves a legacy of kids who know how to read, write and do arithmetic. That is important in this generation," Mrs. White said. "If you were with my mother, you know how to read."
Throughout her teaching career, Mrs. Brown taught several generations of some families, her daughter recalled. It was difficult to go anywhere without someone stopping them to say hello, she added.
Mrs. White said she and her "mommy" shared the same dry sense of humor.
"She was a fantastic woman, always willing to laugh," she said.
Obituary appears on B8.

Houshmandzadeh believes Richard Sherman couldn't shut him down by Josh Sanchez Email Posted: Mon Mar. 17, 2014 T.J. Houshmandzadeh thinks quite highly of himself. (Aaron M. Sprecher/Icon SMI)Throughout the early 2000's, former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh made a solid career for himself with his impressive route running and solid hands, complementing Chad Johnson on the outside.Houshmandzadeh then went on to have brief, unsuccessful stops with the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders.Though Houshmandzadeh has been out of the league for the past few seasons, he is back in the headlines after recent comments about Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. Sherman is usually the man who picks fights and starts "Twitter beefs" with his outspoken nature, but Houshmandzadeh's comments to TMZ will surely catch the attention of the Super Bowl champ.After channeling his inner "Razor Ramon" with a tooth pick in his mouth and slicked back ponytail, Houshmandzadeh dropped his personal belief that Sherman would not be able to stop him on the field if the two met during their playing days.Because of his ability to get open during one-on-one situations in his prime, Houshmandzadeh says there is "no chance" that Sherman would be able to stop him.Unfortunately your browser does not support IFrames. T.J. Houshmandzadeh -- I Would've DESTROYED Richard Sherman - Watch More Celebrity Videos or SubscribePart of being a successful receiver in the NFL is having a strong belief in yourself, so Houshmandzadeh's comments aren't entirely surprising, but they certainly come off a bit wishful. In order to beat Sherman, you can't get off the line like you are running in quick sand, so Houshmandzadeh is already at a disadvantage.Houshmandzadeh finished his career with 627 catches for 7,237 yards and 44 touchdowns.You can check out the video with Houshmandzadeh's full comments here.
