EU Morning Report - Euro recovers losses but still fragile
Euro recovers losses but still fragile
- Euro recovered some of its losses on Wednesday after it slid on Tuesday weighted by rating agencies' decision to put Portugal and Greece's debt rating on review for a possible downgrade. Also, France appeared to face sovereign debt problems as well further weighing on the single currency. On Tuesday, the euro broke below the 1.31 level falling as low as 1.3074 and today recovered to 1.3145 supported by talks that Asian central banks bid on the euro in a thin and choppy end of year trade.
- Against the safe haven Swiss franc, the euro hit a fresh record low at 1.2532 on Tuesday after tensions in Korea and euro zone contagion fears raised demand for the safe haven currency. The pair is now trading at 1.2543 threatening to hit a fresh record low. The euro fell versus the Japanese Yen on Tuesday finding support at 109.56 before it recovers some of its losses to trade at 110.11.
- Against the Japanese Yen, the greenback rose to 83.90 on Tuesday's currency markets from 83.49. On Wednesday, the dollar surrendered some of its losses to trade at 83.72 yen. The US dollar extends losses against the franc on Wednesday hitting a two month low at 0.9533.
- The Canadian dollar fell on Tuesday weighted by data showing inflation declined more than the market expected in November and disappointing retail sales in October. The dollar hit 1.0205 versus the Loonie but today the pair fell to trade at 1.0154.
Currency to watch out for: EURUSD & USDJPY
- § The EURUSD pivot point is at 1.32 with a preference to enter into Short positions at 1.3190
- § The USDJPY pivot point is at 83.50 with a preference to enter Long positions at 83.55
Today's calendar and market movers:
- § UK Gross Domestic Product is forecasted at 0.8% QoQ and 2.8% YoY.
- § US Annualized Gross Domestic Product is forecasted at 2.8%
- § US Existing Home Sales is expected at 4.75M
Equity Markets:
US equities closed positive on Tuesday with the S&P500 up 0.60% and the DJIA unchanged. The European bourses edged up with the FTSE traded up 1.02% and the DAX and the CAC traded up 0.85% and 1.09% respectively. The NIKKEI and the HSI at the time of writing are trading down 0.23% and up 0.10% respectively.

London, July 16 (ANI): Despite having tracked a thief who stole his computer, an English salesman failed to have any arrests made because cops felt it to be "too expensive" to collar the person.
Twenty-eight-year-old salesman Dale Fryer, of Cramlington, Northumberland, called cops after two 500-pound laptops were stolen, but their inquiries came to nothing.
However, Dale later went online, and found that one computer's internet chat software was being used.
He approached the police with the information, and asked them to trace the web connection to an address.
Police officials, however, stunned him by saying that it would cost too much, and that the crime was "not serious".
"This is not what I wanted to hear from people here to protect us," the Sun quoted Dale as saying.
A police spokesman said that the civilian worker who Dale spoke to had been given a talking to, and that the crime was still being looked into. (ANI)

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - On Sunday, January 20 the Providence College women's soccer program hosted its second annual Futsal Event in the Peterson Recreation Center in Providence, R.I. The Friars welcomed 35 youth girls' soccer clubs to participate in the event ranging from U-9 to U-18.
The event focused on playing the game of soccer in the "Futsal Way." The idea was to create an enviornment that challenged the players' ability to think and make quick decisions. The restricted space forced the players to learn how to create space on and off of the ball. More importantly, the Futsal Event allowed for the girls to express themselves without the pressure of winning.
The Friar coaching staff and players received a variety of positive feedback from their event:
"The tournament was a great experience for the girls, every game had a high level of competition," said Sydney Stoll, the Assistant Girls Director of the Scorpions Soccer Club. "The facilities were fantastic and it was a very well managed tournament. We will be back next year!"
"The event once again was a fantastic experience for our players. The organization and professionalism allowed for a great day of futsal," said John Mark Andrade, President of the Bayside FC Bolts. "Thank you again for inviting our club and look forward to participating in next year's event."
" The Providence Futsal tournament was a great chance for our girls to get some mid-winter competition in a very competitive environment.," said Darren Marshall, the U9 and U12 Coordinator of the NEFC. "An excellently run event in the exceptional indoor facility at Providence College"
"The event was well organized with great fast paced action in a beautiful facility," said Joao Santos, the youth Head Coach of Lusitana F.C.
Providence's women's soccer program looks forward to hosting the Futsal Event in 2014 on the weekend prior to Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Friar clinic announcements and tournaments can be located on FRIARS.com.

Vibration isolation using open or filled trenches

The problem of isolating structures from surface waves by open or filled trenches under conditions of plane strain is numerically studied. The soil is assumed to be an isotropic, linear elastic or viscoelastic nonhomogeneous (layered) half-space medium. Waves generated by the harmonic motion of a rigid surface machine foundatin are considered. The formulation and solution of the problem are accomplished by the frequency domain boundary element method. The Green's function of Kausel-Peek-Hull for a thin layered half-space is employed and this essentially requires only a discretization of the trench perimeter and the soil-foundation interface. The proposed methodology is used for the solution of a number of vibration isolation problems and the effect of soil inhomogeneity on the wave screening effectiveness of trenches is discussed.

In one corner hailing from Australia measuring in at 98 feet Skandia. She's blue, Aussie designed and built, sporting a canting keel.
Skandia 1st to Finish
Photographer : Daniel Forster/Rolex
In the other corner the white hulled Zana, also 98 feet, Kiwi designed and built with a fixed keel. That was the pre race tale of the tape, and the hype was justified over the 628 mile course.
Sail Change for Zena
Carlo Borlenghi/Rolex
After nearly 3 full days on the water Skandia's winning margin was 14 minutes, in doubt all the way. Skandia's Grant Wharington, ""We could see them (Zana) the whole way, except for 30 minutes this morning." Early reports had Skandia ahead by 2 boat lengths, meaning not much changed the whole race. Zana then had a brief lead the first nite out.
Official times were 2 days 15 hours 14 minutes and 6 seconds for Skandia, 2 d 15h 28m and 30S for Zana. Over the 628 mile course this means Skandia's advantage was 1.6 seconds per mile.
On the patriotism front Skandia is the first Australian first to finish winner since 1997. Wharington hails from Victoria in Australia. He was the first Victorian skipper to take line honours since the 1950′s
Was one boat faster? Not really said Skandia's Barney Walker, ""It was more mentally tiring than any race I have done; it was crucial that we stayed on their line, there was nothing in the boatspeed,."
Zana owner Stewart Thwaites was disapointed, but sportsmanlike in 2nd saying, ""I am definitely happy with second, but I was after line honours."
Further he said, ""Probably the difference was a canting keel." Inexorably canting keels are becoming nescesarry gear of winners.
Hype and expectation is a constant phenomenon of the 21st century. Always good to see expectations met.
Note: In addition to line honours there are handicap winners. These are to be determined and can be tracked online.

RPT-Canada tech players reap benefits as export picture brightens
(Repeats to additional subscribers)
By Fergal Smith
TORONTO, Sept 6 (Reuters) - Smaller Canadian technology companies making products like robotics, drones and high-tech thermostats are proving to be some of the biggest winners as the country's recently struggling non-commodity export sector shows signs of revival.
Data released on Friday showed Canada's trade deficit in July unexpectedly shrank on stronger non-energy exports, which had struggled for months. The Bank of Canada sees the sector as crucial to helping revive an economy hit by low oil prices.
Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz has admitted to being puzzled by disappointing export data, given a soft currency and improving U.S. demand.
But executives with several export-oriented technology companies said both factors are helping drive demand for their products, and prospects for sales abroad are better than what many people believe.
"Despite what you read, the economy is incredibly strong," said Stuart Lombard, founder and chief executive of Ecobee, a maker of Wi-Fi-enabled thermostats that does 90 percent of its business outside of Canada.
"We are growing our revenue at 100 percent year-over-year... and I would say our outlook is only positive."
His optimism is shared by several makers of innovative products aimed mainly at foreign buyers. They note Canada's weak dollar has helped keep labor costs low and prices competitive. Continued...

Kickstarter page launched to support The Gratitude Tour documentary
Turning her grief into a new life purpose, Jennifer Westby has been performing random acts of kindness for over two years in her mother's honor and begins a new journey to share how she has turned this grief to gratitude.
As she undertakes this journey, she will be filmed by a documentary film crew. Jennifer's message of gratitude and grieving with a purpose will be captured live as she stops along the journey to share her story with others, hear their inspirational stories of honoring a loved one's memory and perform random acts of kindness. "Jenergy" as it is referred to by those who know her and hear her speak is contagious and she hopes to spread her message of hope along the west coast and then beyond.
To fund this project, Westby is looking to the kindness of others and has launched a "Kickstarter"
Sheryl Hill, Clear Cause Foundation Founder, endorses The Gratitude Tour. "When our beloved ones die - love for them amplifies. Actively, purposely, loving them through acts of kindness does more than soothe grief. It honors them with love that's really real creating a better world, a greater good. Our loved ones cannot find us when we are shrouded in a fog of grief so thick light cannot penetrate. Life is short. You can do it! Love them up!"
To mark the touching of lives, the tour will be traveling with "The Gratitude Wall" and will collect signatures from those they meet along the way. Jennifer envisions collecting over 10,000 signatures along the journey. "This tour is more than a trip," states Jennifer. "It is a journey to my destiny of helping others learn to move from grief to gratitude."
After her mother's death, Jennifer created "Mom's 6 Days", a non-profit association dedicated to committing random acts of kindness in her mother's honor. As popularity of the kindness movement grew, Jennifer made the decision to write a book based on her choice to grieve with a purpose and LIVE with a purpose. The book, "Six Days of Kindness, Grieving with love and a purpose" is her personal story detailing her emotional transformation in dealing with the grief over the loss of her mother. "It is a journal-style memoir", reflects Westby, "about grief and the bond between a mother and her family."
As she travels, Jennifer will also be promoting and signing her book. It is during these stops that everyone will be able to sign the "Gratitude Wall" and honor someone they love.
Carole Brody Fleet, founder of Widows Wear Stilettos, Inc and best-selling author of "Widows Wear Stilettos: A Practical and Emotional Guide for the Young Widow", and soon to be released "Happily EVEN After: A Guide to Getting Through (and Beyond!) the Grief of Widowhood" also praises the upcoming tour. "While loss definitely shapes you, it does not have to define you," states Carole.
Westby is optimist about the Kickstarter funding and thrilled with local support she is receiving. "Every day is a new day to share kindness," she says. "Every day I am grateful for the lessons my mom taught me and know my purpose is to share them with others."

I hope you are enjoying a beautiful and peaceful Thanksgiving today. Our plan is to spend our day with family watching the Macy's Day Parade, playing football, taking a long walk, thinking of what we're thankful for, and enjoying a wonderful traditional dinner. Sometime during the myriad of desserts, we'll probably breakout the board games and card games.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Nashik, Jul 7 (UNI) A group of Sikh devotees staged a ''rail roko'' at Manmad railway station yesterday following the delay in attaching two bogies, which they had specially reserved, to the Jhelum Express.
According to sources, nearly 170 Sikh devotees from Amritsar, Chandigarh and other places had reserved two bogies for ''darshan'' of Nanded. After ''darshan'' at Nanded they returned to Manmad early last morning. Two bogies had to be attached to Jhelum Express, but it could not be possible due to late arrival of the devotees.
Following which, the devotees demanded the bogies, in which they were supposed to be travelling. But the Railway administration did not pay any heed to their demand even after 14 hours.
Later, on arrival of the 2715 Nanaded Amritsar Sachkhard Express yesterday afternoon, these devotees held an agitation by sitting in front of the train. Members of Sikh community, including women, who were passengers of Sachkhand Express, also joined and held demonstrations.
The railway administration expresed inability to join the two bogies to the Sachkhand Express as it already had 22 bogies.
Finally, the two bogies were attached to 2617 Down Erankulam-Nijamaddin Mangala Express and the agitation was called off after two and a half hours.

- 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
- 1 small garlic clove, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped rosemary
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 navel oranges
- 2 large bunches of watercress, thick stems discarded
- 2 Belgian endives—halved, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
Coarsely chop 1/4 cup of the olives and transfer them to a small bowl. In a mini processor, pulse the remaining 1/4 cup of olives with the garlic and rosemary until the olives are chopped. Add the vinegar and pulse twice to combine; add to the chopped olives in the bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Using a sharp knife, peel the oranges, removing all of the bitter white pith. Working over a bowl, cut in between the membranes to release the orange sections into the bowl; drain the juice and reserve for another use. Add the watercress, endives, parsley and onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.

The Connecticut binder surrounded by the Colorado brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper completes this work of art.

For a decade, Dave Tomar made a living helping college students scam their way to a degree. The Rutgers graduate and aspiring writer wrote 4,000 papers for students that number "somewhere in the upper hundreds or low thousands." In 2010, his last year of ghostwriting, he pocketed approximately $50,000 for writing everything from book reports and college essays to 170-page doctoral dissertations.
Tomar first exposed his life working for "online paper mills" in a 2010 Chronicle of Higher Education article under the pseudonym Ed Dante. He wrote: "I work at an online company that generates tens of thousands of dollars a month by creating original essays based on specific instructions provided by cheating students...Of course, I know you are aware that cheating occurs. But you have no idea how deeply this kind of cheating penetrates the academic system, much less how to stop it."
Recently, Tomar dove deeper into his time as a ghostwriter in the book The Shadow Scholar: How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat. TakePart caught up with Tomar about why he took on this job and how he is utilizing what he learned to spark a conversation about why kids cheat.
More: Teacher Cheating Ring Busted: Test-Taking Scandal Rocks the South
TakePart: Why did you decide to write papers for students and why did you choose to stop?
Tomar: I was a very angry kid when I got out of school but that wasn't my motive for doing it. My motive was to make a living as a writer, and it really did allow me to do that. However, the anger was something that allowed me to feel okay about it. I didn't take school very seriously when I was in it, and I certainly didn't take it very seriously after I had left. Really, the big transition was just growing up.
For a number of years I was doing this job, and I was no longer angry, but I felt locked into it, like I think anybody feels when they are doing a job they don't necessary like or feel good about. At that point I was no longer rationalizing it. In my head I was saying, how do I get out of this? It's ironic—I never felt I'd get out of it by telling everyone this is what I'm doing. I had that revelation, though, that the only way to get out of it was to make a clean break of it. It's not enough to just stop doing it. I don't regret all the things I learned, but I am repentant about them. I really do want to do whatever I can at this point to undo some of the damage that I certainly helped contribute to.
TakePart: What did you learn about the weaknesses in our education system during your 10 years of writing college papers?
Tomar: There were two things that really come back to me. One was what I felt in school was confirmed for me when I started to do this job, and one was what I learned while doing this job. The first was I always felt I'm not here to learn, I'm here to get grades. I'm here to be credentialized, I'm here to receive a degree. Sadly, not only do a majority of students feel this way, but in a lot of ways, colleges are giving them this message that that's why they are here. The second thing I think I learned from doing this job is just how many students are being pushed into colleges and are woefully unprepared.
There is so much hammering of how do we police the problem, but I think we have to ask the question—why do students feel like this should be a priority?
TakePart: How much do the online paper mills permeate the higher education system?
Tomar: That is hard for me to answer because I have always worked in some isolation. The best frame I can give for it is this: If any staff that I've worked for has 50-75 writers, I can tell you that during finals and midterms, when the scope of work and the amount of work that the students are taking on gets much heavier, there is more work than the staff of writers can handle.
TakePart: What do you hope people take away from the book?
Tomar: First and foremost, when I set out to write the book I thought if I explain how it goes on, all the ins and outs of cheating, then people will have a more open and honest discussion about why it occurs. I think this is something that is lacking within higher education right now. There is so much hammering of how do we police the problem, but I think we have to ask the question, why do students feel like this should be a priority?
Also, I can understand student's anger and frustration—that experience of getting out of school, being afraid, not knowing what you're going to do, and being angry and frustrated that you spent all this money. I hope that Generation X and Y readers will relate to that in my book and that it will be helpful for them…I can't help but feel that there are a lot of young readers who need to hear there are other people going through this.
What are your thoughts on how cheating can be prevented? Let us know in comments.

Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales make up a necessary componenant to any collection of fairy tales. In fact, Andersen's life was like a fairy tale in many ways. Out of the poverty, hardship, and loneliness of his youth, he came to be one of the most honored men of his time. Many of the more than 160 fairy tales he wrote, including "The Ugly Duckling," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Little Mermaid," have become literary classics enjoyed by children and adults alike. Andersen was born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark. His parents were poor; his father worked as a shoemaker and his mother was a washerwoman. In 1819, Andersen moved to the capital city of Copenhagen, where he hoped to become an actor in the Royal Theater. Directors of the Royal Theater sympathized with his efforts to write plays but finally concluded that Andersen needed an education. One of the directors raised money to send him away to school. He later attended and graduated from Copenhagen University. After his schooling, Andersen spent many years traveling and writing poems, books, and plays, which met with some success. It was not until he was 30 that he wrote any fairy tales. His first small book of fairy tales became popular almost immediately, and from then on his fame grew rapidly, spreading from country to country. Andersen put many pieces of his own life into his fairy tales. Andersen published his last fairy tales in 1872, and after a long illness, he died in Copenhagen on August 4, 1875.

North Shore University Hospital, Great Neck, NY
Early smoking cessation is a cost-effective tool for judicious utilization of scarce health care resources. The effect of endocrine disorders (diabetes and/or thyroid diseases) on the process of quitting smoking is not well appreciated. We studied the impact of diabetes / thyroid disorders amongst a cohort of patients undergoing smoking cessation.
The cessation program at North Shore University Hospital consisted of 6 sessions emphasizing support, behavior modification and pharmacological interventions. Data was collected from participants (N=522) from 1999- 2003 via questionnaires before and at program end; data was analyzed using SAS®.
Of the total (n=522) group, 72 participants with endocrine disorders (35 diabetics, 37 thyroid disorders) were considered (20 males and 52 females). Of these, 75% reported having other co-morbidities; 80 % reported "general health concerns" as a significant reason for quitting; 39.5% also cited cigarettes "controlled their lives". A self-report "readiness to quit" scale, 70% scored highly (≥ 7out of 10). There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups (thyroid vs. diabetes) with respect to age (49.8 vs. 54.0), or number of previous quit attempts (3.1 vs. 3.0), although past smoking history (i.e. pack years) was significantly different (33.6 vs. 50.1; p<0.005). Quit rate upon completion of the program was 47.8% in this endocrine cohort; with only 40.0 % diabetics quitting vs. 56.3% with thyroid disorders. Quit rate for total group of 522 participants was 50.5%
Endocrine disorders impact the process of smoking cessation particularly as diabetics in this cohort were much more addicted to nicotine yet less likely to quit than participants with thyroid disorders or the general smoking population. Although both endocrine groups displayed equal preparedness and desire to quit, and both received the same interventions, the diabetic patients did not fare well. Presence of diabetes in particular, should alert clinicians to the need for more intense smoking cessation interventions.
Clinicians understanding of effect of co-morbidities can positively impact smoking cessation amongst their patients.

If Horn was an LEO and made those same comments to the dispatcher, I would regard him exactly as I do now - as a murderer.
The point is, though, that he ISN'T an LEO. LEOs (as you certainly know) are appointed by the people with certain powers; powers that the general populace does not have. With those powers (all apologies to Stan Lee) come responsibilities, responsibilities that the general populace also does not have.
I think Horn's actions could be justifiable, for the most part. What actually happened when he confronted the BGs would determine whether or not deadly force was warranted. But his intent is clearly outside the bounds of a civilized nation of laws. If there was no compelling evidence otherwise, I think I would convict based on Horn's stated intent - to kill, not to prevent harm to others.
And no, farron, it doesn't make me want to move to Texas - God forbid I be mistaken for a petty criminal and executed by some stranger... I think I'd rather have my house burgled.

Chapter One: Can't Behave
day I'm walking away
The tide is gonna turn I'm gonna find my place
Give me a reason to stay
I want to be your lover
Baby but you can't behave
-"Can't Behave" by Courtney Jayne
Two weeks. The war that Magneto had raged had ended two weeks ago. The school was under Storm's watchful eye and while Logan still grieved for Jean he had managed to come out and help Storm in her weaker moments. Rogue had to admire Storm's ability to step up and take charge in the past months since Jean died (the first time) and Scott had cut himself off completely from the school. In the end they had lost 3 of the major leaders of the school. Including the professor himself.
So it soon became the duty for Storm to take over. A duty that she put upon herself. Rogue had avoided Logan through all the chaos, but it seemed that her old friend was starting to come out of his room more often. There was always the fear in the back of Rogue's mind that Logan would shut down and leave the school. It's not that she didn't trust Storm, but it was more that Logan was the only person that Rogue felt grounded with. He gave her the ability to be herself through and through.
So where was her boyfriend in all this craziness? Bobby "the iceman" as he was called now was still in Rogue's life, but increasingly their relationship was becoming harder. She knew that they had feelings for each other that some could call "love", but to some their "relationship" seemed more of a "friendship" because of Rogue's inability to touch people.
So she took the cure.
She took it to be able to have a "normal" life. She only regretted that being "normal" seemed to be a problem in her current situation. She lived in the center of what was considered "not normal" people. Mutants.
Bobby loved her. She knew he would continue to love her through anything. But she also knew that he was getting closer and closer to Kitty Pride. Kitty once was a good friend of Rogue's circle, but their friendship had changed in the past year.
Jubilee says it was because Kitty always liked to hang out with Bobby and John. She always liked being the one person of the opposite sex who happened to get all the attention. That's just the way that dynamics go when you have two boys and one girl. Whether Kitty liked Bobby or John at the time is unclear, but what was clear was the fact that when Rogue entered their lives she took the boys attention away from Kitty and on to herself.
So was Kitty jealous or was she just mad?
Rogue didn't want to worry about the past. Especially with her new future of humanity and normalness. The reality was that Bobby was good friends with Kitty and through all the tragedy and fighting that had taken place Bobby couldn't help but be the good guy that he is and watch out for Kitty.
Rogue wished that she could know exactly what Bobby was thinking, but she didn't exactly have Jean's telepathy. Not that she needed it necessarily to see the way that Bobby looked at Kitty. She could tell that he was attracted to her. Rogue was sure that when John and Bobby hung out with Kitty before they both were probably attracted to her. Theirs was a choice group. When Bobby chose to date Rogue, John kind of came along with him. Not that Rogue minded at the time.
Things were different now. Bobby hated John. John was presumed dead. Kitty was again the center of two guy's attention (Bobby and Peter) and Rogue was again left to wonder where her life was going.
So amongst all this confusion and pain it was strange that Rogue should find herself at the school's gates with a bag in hand contemplating taking that step across the school's threshold.
Frozen in place, as if the professor had used a mind trick to stop her dead in her tracks she stood facing the gates. Her bag lay next to her feet.
I'll only be gone a day. Two days. A week…just enough to see what the world has become out there. Only a week. No longer. Right?
Thoughts clouded Rogue's mind. Her voice ringing clear through. (a new development since the other voices in her head had left with her powers).
"Planning on going somewhere?"
Rogue didn't move from her spot. She didn't need any special powers to know that Logan was behind her on the driveway.
"Maybe. Why you gonna stop me THIS time?" She was referring to the time not long ago when Logan had let her go off to get the cure.
"no. I told you, I'm not your father kid. Although…being that I am your friend I would have hoped that you woulda said goodbye."
She turned around to face him now. Her eyes staring straight into his.
"I just…need to figure some things out. I mean…what am I now? A human living with mutants…not exactly a happy go lucky story," she said never breaking away from his eyes.
He sighed and kept her eye contact. "They giving you trouble in there?"
She shook her head. Not to say no, but more this dismiss Logan's train of thought.
"I can't be Rogue in there Logan. I want to be. I want to be accepted just like anybody else, but I can't. I'm not one of them anymore. They know it. I know it. God….even the world knows it on some level. Whatever is left of my friends in there look at me the same way that my parents did. Except it's the reverse. Like wanting to touch people and have a normal relationship is such a damn sin!"
Logan closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath.
"Kid. You made a choice. I know it's hard and yes, there will ALWAYS be people out there trying to break you down, but sometimes you just need to accept that and live your life. Trust me it's hard out there on your own. So if you're leaving to try and find some better life or whatever then I can't stop you. Just know that this place is always here for you Rogue." She smiled at that. "Yeah…you'll always be Rogue, Marie, whatever you want to be. Mutant or human. You'll always have me and the school."
She laughed slightly, "you aligning yourself with the school?"
He smirked at her, "never said that, but if I'm here when you get back…maybe then."
"yeah…" She let her eyes drop down. "I'm going to go."
He nodded slightly as if to say goodbye.
She turned and scooped up her bag into her hand. The next thing Rogue knew she was sitting in a New York park watching people, normal people.

Japan Stock Futures Little Changed as Greece Meeting Continues
Japanese stock futures were little changed as investors awaited indications that European Union finance ministers have made progress on providing aid for Greece at their third meeting this month. CSL Ltd. led gains among Australian equities.
American Depositary Receipts of Canon Inc. (7751), a Japanese camera maker that gets 80 percent of sales abroad, slid 1.1 percent. ADRs of Honda Motor Co. lost 0.6 percent as Macquarie Research downgraded the stock after the carmaker's shares closed at the highest level in more than six months. CSL, the world's second-biggest maker of blood-derived therapies, surged 6 percent in Sydney after saying it expects profit growth of about 20 percent.
Futures on Japan's Nikkei 225 Stock Average expiring next month closed at 9,395 in Chicago yesterday, down from 9,400 in Osaka, Japan. They were bid in the pre-market at 9,380 in Osaka at 8:05 a.m. local time. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 Index (AS51) gained 0.1 percent, led by CSL. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index was little changed in Wellington.
"Euro group finance ministers are currently meeting as they look to reach an agreement on Greece which would eventually lead to them receiving their next tranche of aid," said Stan Shamu, a market strategist at IG Markets Ltd. in Melbourne. "Of course, having failed to reach an agreement last week, there is always a chance that some pieces of the negotiation won't fall into place and further stall a decision."
Brussels Meeting
Euro-area finance ministers are meeting in Brussels to try to plug Greece's funding shortfall and produce a plan to keep the country a solvent member of the currency bloc. They failed to make reach a decision in two previous meetings this month. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is attending the meeting.
Futures on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index were little changed today. The S&P 500 fell 0.2 percent yesterday, following its biggest weekly advance since June, as lawmakers prepared to debate the so-called fiscal cliff and euro-area finance ministers discuss Greek aid.
The MSCI Asia Pacific (MXAP) Index yesterday posted its longest winning streak since the second week of September. The Asian benchmark gained 13 percent from this year's low on June 4 through yesterday as central banks added stimulus to spur economic growth and data showed a slowdown in China may be ending. The Asian benchmark index traded at 13.9 times estimated earnings, compared with 13.6 times for the S&P 500 Index and 12.4 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index (CH55BN) of the most-traded Chinese shares in the U.S. retreated 1 percent yesterday in New York.

The legacy of the Duke of Wellington towers over British history. The hero of Waterloo and vanquisher of Napoleon, the poet laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson hailed him as the 'last great Englishman'. In fact Wellington was born in Dublin in 1769, Arthur Wesley (later changed to Wellesley) and was the third surviving son in an aristocratic Protestant Irish family. His father's death in 1781 hit the family's financial standing and Wellington followed his mother to Brussels in 1785. He was commissioned as an ensign in the British Army in 1787, serving in Ireland and later rose to prominence as a general during the Peninsular campaign of the Napoleonic Wars, and was promoted to the rank of field marshal after leading the allied forces to victory against the French at the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. His greatest victory came at Waterloo, when he defeated Napoleons army on 18th June 1815. After Waterloo, the new Duke bought Stratfield Saye with the moneys granted to him by the government of the day, in gratitude and recognition of his outstanding service in the wars against Napoleon, culminating in the victory at Waterloo.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage
A type of insurance coverage that can be purchased separately from the common personal injury protection (PIP) or bodily injury liability insurance coverage. When a motor vehicle accident occurs, if the at-fault party did not maintain liability insurance at the time of the crash, this coverage is collected from the injured party's insurance company after their PIP and excess medical payment coverage have been exhausted (used up entirely). To learn more about how your insurance coverage works when in an accident, please visit the Who Pays My Medical Bills and Lost Wages page.

Provincial Inflation Monitor
- The CPI data for August offered no surprises. Same as in July, 8 of 10 provinces recorded a lower CPI from a year ago, although 2 provinces traded places with Québec now recording a CPI increase of 0.4% and Manitoba recording a CPI decrease of 0.4%. Price declines eased slightly in Ontario (from 1.2% to 1.0%), in the Atlantic region (from 0.8% to 0.6%), and more significantly so in B.C. (from 1.6% to 1.1%). B.C. shelter cost drops eased from 4.1% to 3.4%, while those at the national level accelerated slightly, from 2.0% to 2.2%.
- CPI readings differ more than usual between Ontario and Québec. Higher inflation in Québec can be traced to shelter costs, which were 1.9% lower Y/Y in Ontario but only 0.3% lower Y/Y in Québec. While one would think this in turns reflects the fact the Québec's housing market has been more resilient, the difference is actually attributable to utility costs (water, fuel & electricity). The Y/Y decline in these prices came four months later to Ontario, which is now catching up. Québec utility prices are also less volatile, being more regulated.
- Much like core inflation, nationwide inflation for non-food/energy items eased slightly to 0.9% from 1.0% in July. This was well reflected across the country as inflation for these items eased in all provinces without exception. Non-food/energy inflation eased the most in Manitoba (-0.6 ppts) and the Atlantic region (-0.4 ppts), but was also 0.2 ppts lower in Central Canada.
- The number of provinces with non-food/energy inflation readings above 2.0% dropped from 4 in July to 1 (P.E.I.) in August. As economic growth is expected to resume across the country in the second half of this year, all regional economies should be in a goldilocks situation as non-food/energy inflation remains tame - yet positive - well into next year. This should give the Bank of Canada the time needed to ensure the recovery is sustained before signaling, and eventually start implementing, tighter monetary policy.

Toby Mac and Tait are FREAKS... JESUS FREAKS-Total Axxess-WAY FM
This could only happen in Nashville and was about as close as we are going to get to a DC talk reunion for a while, when two thirds of DC talk took the stage at Winter Jam. Toby Mac helped close the Newsboys set when he and Michael Tait did "Jesus Freak." I was a very cool moment for anyone who was a fan of DC Talk, and the place erupted. I got to talk to both Toby and Tait after their performance and they both had a great time revisiting one of the greatest collaborations in Christian music.
