So our Bordeaux Group That Sometimes Does Other Things met at Il Corso last night for some wines from Tuscany. We were also joined by Tom Reddick from Austin. Fun group, I enjoyed my fettucine with white truffles and the pork-brontosaurus hybrid chop, and I enjoyed most of the wines.
There was a Champagne from Lilbert that I neglected to note details of, but enjoyed a lot- crisp, fine elegant mousse, nice biscuity finish. Never heard of Lilbert before but will keep eyes open now.
1979 Caparzo "La Casa"Brunello di Montalcino
Didn't know what to expect, but I liked this- thanks Josh. Funky, meaty, old school, amazingly still a bit of tannin. Plenty of fruit, this isn't tired at all. B+
1985 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte
Ah, so this is what this is supposed to taste like (my 2 previous tries have been one corked and one cooked). Beautiful, good acids, solid fruits, leathery notes, good length. A-
1988 Col d'Orcia Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
Corked! Too bad, this can be a nice wine
1990 Altesino "Montosoli" Brunello
Full, ripe, a bit anonymous. B-/B
1995 Altesino "Montosoli" Brunello Riserva
Pretty modern, but holds it's own, slightly glossy but with a nice core. A light bretty note. B
1997 Isole e Olena Cepparello
I didn't write anything down for this one, but felt it was holding better (less hot, less pruney) than some '97 Tuscans I've had, nice structure. B
1997 Fattoria Le Pupille Saffredi
Ripe and full, but again without any roasted notes or heat, good length. B/B+
1998 Soldera Brunello di Montalcino
Beautiful nose, elegant wine, aromatic and exotic, pretty but with power underneath. A/A-
2005 Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva
POwerful, full, young. A-/B+
1998 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte
Classic, midbodied, floral with black cherry fruit. B+
2006 Montevertine Pergole Torte
There's plenty of tannin but it's surprisingly approachable, but best ahead. A-/B+
2008 Antinori Tignanello
I thought there was something strange/musty on nose,but it blew off. Big, young, powerful. B+/B
1995 Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva
Pleasant enough soft generic red wine, probably better young. B-
Nice group,good to meet Tom and see everyone else.
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Courtesy Jenny Craig
Being a spokesperson for Jenny Craig has been actress Sara Rue's most challenging role ever, but it's also been her most rewarding one. Since December she has taken control of her food issues and recently hit a new milestone–losing 40 lbs.! "I feel great and I feel very excited and hopeful," Rue, 31, tells PEOPLE. "It's pretty cool to know that however I want my body to look, I can have that." Fellow Jenny Craig spokesperson Valerie Bertinelli tells PEOPLE, "I'm so proud of her. Look at her! She's freakin' gorgeous." Anxious to "see what this body can do," Rue has signed up for the Napa to Sonoma half marathon, which she plans to run with Bertinelli in July. "I never thought I would take to running, but I did a 5K recently and that went well! And I think I might be crazy, but my next goal is to do a half marathon with Valerie this summer," says Rue. "I'm really excited to ramp up my training now that I've lost 40. We'll see where this takes me!" Rue originally set a weight loss goal of 30 lbs., but managed to surpass that by considering her Jenny Craig experience as a lifestyle change instead of a diet. And she's not done yet. "I'm going to go on and lose a little bit more," she says. "The longer I am on the program, the less I have to think about it. It just becomes a lifestyle. It's not like you're on today, off tomorrow." –Nina Tyler

Indiana Graduate Public Health Programs
Looking for an accredited Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs and Public Health Graduate Schools? On-campus study promotes the social learning atmosphere, interaction and hands-on education.
Public Health Graduate Schools
Whether you are interested in public health from the scientific and research perspective of epidemiology or from the administrative standpoint of healthcare executives, a graduate degree in public health is worth considering; master's degrees are common and sometimes preferred by top employers for certain roles such as medical and health services managers[i], clinical directors[ii], social and community service managers.[iii]
Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs: Basics
It is common that students pursuing a Graduate Public Health degree are already industry professionals with several years of work experience and aspire to transition into leadership roles or a particular specialty field within public health. Furthermore, Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs offer both academic and professional degrees.
Professional degrees such as the Master of Public Health, Master of Public Health Administration and Doctor of Public Health are designed for students who seek an executive role or who want careers as practitioners of public health in health departments, facilities and community-based organizations, hospitals or consulting firms.[iv]
In contrast, academic degrees such as the Master of Science or Doctor of Science in Public Health are designed for students whom have an interest in academia and research or in the scientific basis of public health and best practices in preventive medicine[v].
How Long Might a Graduate Public Health Degree Take?
On average, a master's program could take 2 to 3 years to complete, although some public health graduate schools offer a fast-track option. A capstone or research project is often required for completion of the program, allowing students to focus on their own professional ambitions and personal interests. A doctorate in public health typically takes a minimum of 2 3 years to complete. Those attending school part time should expect to complete the program requirements in five to six years. Program requirements often vary by university, however, so check with your enrollment advisor for more information.
FACT: Many master's degree programs in public health, as well as other programs that are specific to epidemiology, require students to complete an internship or practicum that typically ranges from a semester to a year.[vi]
Potential Features of Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs
If you are someone who learns better in a supportive academic community where you have the possibility to form connections through face-to-face interactions, an on-campus program may be a great academic fit. Studying the Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs gives you the experience of learning amongst peers and through hands-on interface with professors; whether this is in the form of a lively conversation in the corridor before class or watching a live in-classroom demonstration.Apart from the participation in your faculty programming, there is also the chance to join campus activities. Plus, you get access to libraries, laboratories, and fitness facilities- especially beneficial to those engaged in physical fitness.
Finding a Public Health Graduate School is easy on GradSchools.com. Search by location to find universities and colleges with the type of public health graduate degree you need – graduate certificates, master's and doctorate degrees are available. Refine your search by selecting the city, state or country; then browse sponsored listings in your chosen category. You might find options such as Master of Arts – Health and Wellness, Master of Public Health (MPH), MS in Communication: Health Communication, and Doctorate in Public Health Programs.
FACT: Prospective medical and health services managers typically have a degree in health administration, health management, nursing, public health administration, or business administration (BLS).[vii]
Types of Concentrations in Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs
Public Health is actually a multidisciplinary field since it touches on policy, human resources and organizations, science, communication of information and administration. Some of the main types of Graduate Public Health on campus programs are:
- Bioethics
- Epidemiology
- Health Education and Communication
- International Health
- Occupational Health & Safety
Education and training of public health professionals is typically found through Schools of Public Health, Medical Schools, Veterinary Schools, Schools of Nursing, and Schools of Public Affairs[viii]. It is a Graduate degree in Public Health that can give these experienced healthcare providers and researchers an advantage in the job market.
Potential Public Health Curriculum
Curriculums vary between graduate schools, especially as each university may have unique concentration areas. Core academic courses may include study in disciplines such as[ix]:
- Biostatistics
- Epidemiology
- Health Services Administration
- Health Policy
- Health Education
- Behavioral Science
- Environmental Health
Accreditation for Public Health Graduate Schools and Programs
Why does accreditation matter in terms of Graduate Public Health on campus programs and schools? Accreditation is the process through which colleges and universities prove their quality as educational institutions. An accredited graduate school is one that has voluntarily submitted itself to lengthy peer review processes. For students, selecting an accredited Public Health Graduate program (e.g. the M.P.H.) is important because it informs employers that you attended an institution which was reviewed officially by a third party and was approved - proof that your degree is legitimate.
Accreditation typically comes in two forms: institutional and programmatic. Institutional accreditation—which happens both at the national and regional levels, is the vetting of a college or university's entire course catalog, its leadership, and quality of education.This type of accreditation is essential to the reputation of universities and the degrees they offer, but it does not speak directly to the quality the school's individual programs.
Programmatic accreditation—also called specialized or professional accreditation— has a narrower focus on that it is concerned with specific programs, departments, or subsections of colleges and universities that already hold institutional accreditation. Be sure in your search for a graduate degree that you verify whether your university and public health program are accredited by an accrediting body. MPH programs are accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH)[x].
Take the Next Step
While many years ago students who enrolled in public health schools had already obtained a medical degree, this has changed considerably.[xi] Students that have completed the Graduate Public Health On Campus Programs may be equipped to navigate the crossroads of research, practice, planning, administration, and policy development and to tackle current and emerging public health issues ranging from reducing inequalities in health care to preventing infectious diseases. Why not review your options for public health graduate programs and schools to take your education to the next step!

Fox Newsers Urge Rep. Akin To Drop Out Of Senate Race After "Harmful" Remarks
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Fox News contributors and hosts have called on Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) to drop out of his U.S. Senate race in light of the firestorm surrounding his claim that it is "really rare" for women subjected to "legitimate rape" to become pregnant. In blasting Akin's "moronic" and "really, really stupid" remarks, Fox News figures lamented that Akin's misstep could be "harmful" to Republican efforts to win the U.S. Senate and even the White House.
When criticism over Akin's remarks began intensifying this morning, Fox News largely ignored the controversy and attempted to dismiss its significance. Fox & Friends skipped the story, and America's Newsroom helped provide cover by treating it as a media analysis story ("Will the media seize on Rep Akin's (R-MO) comments & GOP 2011 behavior in Israel?") and not airing the remarks.
As the controversy continued, however, and Republican candidates, organizations, and aligned groups started to distance themselves from Akin, several hosts and commentators with the conservative network began calling on Akin to withdraw from the race:
Sean Hannity: "It Could Be Harmful To The Whole Party"
While interviewing Akin on his Premiere Radio Networks program, Fox News host Sean Hannity repeatedly pushed Akin to drop out of the U.S. Senate race because it could hurt the Republican Party's chances to defeat Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and President Barack Obama.
Hannity said that he was "very concerned, and I know many other conservatives are as well because they have all written me today, that if you stay in this race, and this becomes the defining issue of the race, and there is a timeline now in play here, that this could then put the entire state of Missouri, this Senate seat, and even the top of the ticket, in jeopardy in Missouri."
While he added that Akin "misspoke" and is the victim of "a double standard," Hannity fretted that "I think it could be harmful to the whole party, to the whole state, to the whole idea of capturing the Senate, to the whole idea of Mitt Romney doing well in a state he has to win."
The Five: Perino Says Akin "Should Get Out" To Help Republicans
Co-host Dana Perino, a former Bush White House press secretary, said Akin "should get out. He should have gotten out within the first news cycle ... because what he said was wrong, but also he could have at least allowed at least some shot for the Republican, another Republican to come in."
Co-host Andrea Tantaros, a former Republican staffer, said that Akin "needs to stop talking immediately," later adding that it "plays right into the hand of Democrats that want to have a debate on social issues, and want to have a debate on this type of thing, so they're jumping up and down, and that's an important Senate seat."
The other Five co-hosts, Juan Williams, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Greg Gutfeld, also criticized the remarks.
Karl Rove / Crossroads
The Los Angeles Times and Politico reported earlier today that American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS are pulling advertising in Missouri against Sen. McCaskill. Crossroads spokesman Nate Hodson said of the news: "The act speaks for itself."
Fox News contributor Karl Rove is a co-founder and adviser to both groups. He appeared on the Fox News program America's Newsroom today to discuss Akin, where he said "the Akin story will be important inside Missouri," and then pivoted to talking about economic issues. Rove, whose Crossroads connections weren't disclosed by Fox, did not discuss Crossroads' ad strategy in Missouri.
Brian Kilmeade: "If You Want [McCaskill] Out" Tell Akin To Drop Out
During his Fox News Radio program, Kilmeade said Akin made a "moronic series of statements" and is "damaged goods. He's done. He's a dead man walking as a candidate." Fox News contributor Michael Goodwin said that Akin appeared "like a doofus" and that the remarks are "possibly fatal" for his campaign and could have repercussions on other races.
Kilmeade later made clear he was upset at Akin because his remarks might allow Sen. Claire McCaskill -- "an embarrassment" -- to get re-elected.
"I believe that McCaskill has got to go," Kilmeade said. "She's an embarrassment and now she's trying to change all her stands and run to the president -- run from the president. If you want her out of there, and I do, what you got to say is to Todd Akin, thanks so much, you're a sincere guy but clearly you're not ready and you should ask him to step out."
Lou Dobbs
On Twitter, Fox Business host Lou Dobbs wrote "Senator John Cornyn has it right, telling Akin to exit Senate race" and "It's very simple: Akin goes now."
Michelle Malkin: Is "Sticking By Self-Inflicted-Wounded Akin... More Important Than Securing A U.S. Senate Majority"?
On her website, Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin wrote that Akin "said some really, really stupid things. ... There's no sugar-coating or whitewashing this. It wasn't a 'gaffe.' It was ignorant, garbled nonsense."
Malkin concluded by writing that the "The Senate race in Missouri is still winnable" and "The question for Republicans in Missouri is whether sticking by self-inflicted-wounded Akin is more important than securing a U.S. Senate majority."
Tammy Bruce: Replace Akin With Sarah Steelman
On Twitter, Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce agreed that Akin should be replaced and wrote that Akin "exposed a bizarre way of thinking that is unacceptable to the nation as a whole." Bruce also suggested that the GOP replace Akin with Sarah Steelman, who came in 3rd in the Republican Senate primary.
Dick Morris: Akin Must Withdraw Because His Comment "Makes It Impossible For Him To Beat" McCaskill
Fox News contributor Dick Morris posted an online petition calling on Akin to withdraw. Morris wrote of Akin:
His ridiculous comment that somehow women won't get pregnant from "legitimate rape" (whatever that is?) makes it impossible for him to beat incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill. Before Akin's stupid comment, he had a nine point lead over McCaskill, the most of any Republican insurgent against a Democratic incumbent in the country.
But after his comment, he has no chance of winning. That seat could well be the difference between a majority and a minority in the Senate!
Morris was a supporter of Sarah Steelman in the Missouri Republican primary.

Flames open strong at Virginia Duals but fall short
January 12, 2013 | Hampton, Va.
Liberty University's wrestling team advanced in the championship bracket of the American College Division on Friday's first day of the 33rd Virginia Duals tournament at Hampton Coliseum with a 26-17 triumph over top-seeded Roger Williams University. However, the Flames, who finished third in last year's event, went 0-2 in Saturday's competition and settled for fifth place in the eight-team bracket.
Steven's Institute, the eventual champion of the division, scored a 29-15 victory over Liberty in Saturday's championship semifinals before the Flames fell to Central Florida 35-18 in the consolation semifinals.
Central Florida, which had edged Apprentice 25-24 in the previous round, narrowly escaped Nassau Community College 23-19 in the consolation final to wrap up third place.
Steven's Institute defeated SUNY Brockport 22-18 in the championship final.
In Friday's opener against Roger Williams, as usual, the Flames fared especially well in the upperweight classes, not losing a match after 165 pounds. Royal Brettrager, returning from an injury that kept him out of the Citrus Classic in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., two weeks ago, pinned Shane Parcel 3 minutes, 25 seconds into their 184-pound match. Heavyweight Andrew Wilson also recorded a fall, over Colin Egan in 3:52, after Peter Tatanish (149), Marcus Miller (157), Keyshaun Ward (174), and Aaron Thompson (197) scored decisions.

Day trading is speculation in securitiesspecifically buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day. Strictly, day trading is trading only within a day, such that all positions are closed before the market closes for the trading day.
Many traders may not be so strict or may have day trading as one component of an overall strategy. Traders who participate in day trading are called day traders. Traders who trade in this capacity with the motive of profit are therefore speculators. The methods of quick trading contrast with the long-term trades underlying buy and hold and value investing strategies. Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocksoptionscurrenciesand a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, currency futures and commodity futures.
Day trading was program trading and intraday volatility an activity that was exclusive to financial firms and professional speculators. Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity investment and fund management. However, with the advent of electronic trading and margin tradingday trading is available to private individuals.
Some day traders use an intra-day technique known as scalping that usually has the trader holding a position for a few minutes or even seconds. Most day traders exit positions before the market closes to avoid unmanageable risks—negative price gaps between one day's close and the next day's price at the open. Another reason is to maximize day trading buying power.
Day traders sometimes borrow money to trade. This is called margin trading. Since margin interests are typically only charged on overnight balances, the trader may pay no fees for the margin benefit, though still running the risk of a margin call. The margin interest rate is usually based on the broker's call. Because of program trading and intraday volatility nature of financial leverage and the rapid returns that are possible, day trading results can range from extremely profitable to extremely unprofitable, and high-risk profile traders can generate either huge percentage returns or huge percentage losses.
Because of the high profits and losses that day trading makes possible, these traders are sometimes portrayed as " bandits " or " gamblers " by other investors. The common use of buying on margin using borrowed funds amplifies gains and losses, such that substantial losses or gains can occur in a very short period of time. In addition, brokers usually allow bigger margins for day traders.
Because of the high risk of margin use, and of other day trading practices, a day trader will often have to exit a losing position very quickly, in order to prevent a greater, unacceptable loss, or even a disastrous loss, much larger than his or her original investment, or even larger than his or her total assets. Originally, the most important U. A trader would contact a stockbroker, who would relay the order to a specialist on the floor of the NYSE.
These specialists would each make markets in only program trading and intraday volatility handful of stocks. The specialist would match the purchaser with another broker's seller; write up physical tickets that, once processed, would effectively transfer the stock; and relay the information back to both brokers.
One of the program trading and intraday volatility steps to make day trading of shares program trading and intraday volatility profitable was the change in the commission scheme.
Inthe United States Securities and Exchange Commission SEC made fixed commission rates illegal, giving rise to discount brokers offering much reduced commission rates. Financial settlement periods used to be much longer: Before the early s at the London Stock Exchangefor example, stock could be paid for up to 10 working days after it was bought, allowing traders to buy or sell shares at the beginning of a settlement period only to sell or buy them before the end of the period hoping for a rise in price.
This activity was identical to modern day trading, but for the longer duration of the settlement period. But today, to reduce market risk, the settlement period is typically two working days. Reducing the settlement period reduces the likelihood of defaultbut was impossible before the advent of electronic ownership transfer.
The systems by which stocks are traded have also evolved, the second half of the twentieth century having seen the advent of electronic communication networks ECNs. These are essentially large proprietary computer networks on which brokers could list a certain amount of securities to sell at a certain price the asking price or "ask" or offer to buy a certain amount of securities at a certain price the "bid".
The first of these was Instinet or "inet"which was founded in as a way for major institutions to bypass the increasingly cumbersome and expensive NYSE, also allowing them to trade during hours when the exchanges were closed. Early ECNs such as Instinet were very unfriendly to small investors, because they tended to give large institutions better prices than were available to the public. This resulted in a fragmented and sometimes illiquid market.
The next important step in facilitating day trading was the founding in of NASDAQ —a virtual stock exchange on which orders were transmitted electronically. Moving from paper share certificates and written share registers to "dematerialized" shares, computerized trading and registration required not only extensive changes to legislation but also the development of the necessary technology: These developments heralded the appearance of " market makers ": A market maker has an inventory of stocks to buy and sell, and simultaneously offers to buy and sell the same stock.
Obviously, it will offer to sell stock at a higher price than the price at which it offers to buy. This difference is known as the "spread". The market maker is indifferent as to whether the stock goes up or down, it simply tries to constantly buy for less than it sells. A persistent trend in one direction will result in a loss for the market maker, but the strategy is overall positive otherwise they would exit the business. Today program trading and intraday volatility are about firms who participate as market makers program trading and intraday volatility ECNs, each generally program trading and intraday volatility a market in four to forty different stocks.
Another reform made was the " Small Order Execution System ", or "SOES", which required market makers to buy or sell, immediately, small orders up to shares at the market maker's listed bid or ask. In the late s, existing ECNs began to offer their services to small investors. New brokerage firms which specialized in serving online traders who wanted to trade on the ECNs emerged. Archipelago eventually became a stock exchange and in was purchased by the NYSE.
Moreover, the trader was able in to buy the stock almost instantly and got it at a cheaper price. ECNs are in constant flux. New ones are formed, while existing ones are bought or merged. As of the end ofthe most important ECNs to the individual trader were:. This combination of factors has made day trading in stocks and stock derivatives such as ETFs possible.
The low commission rates allow an individual or small firm to make a large number of trades during a single day. The liquidity and small spreads provided by ECNs allow an individual to make near-instantaneous trades and to get favorable pricing. The ability for individuals to day trade coincided with the extreme bull market in technological program trading and intraday volatility from to earlyknown as the Dot-com bubble.
In March,this bubble burst, and a large number of less-experienced day traders began to lose money as fast, or faster, than they had made during the buying frenzy. The NASDAQ crashed from back to ; many of the less-experienced traders went broke, although obviously it was possible to have made a fortune during that time by shorting or playing on volatility.
In parallel to stock trading, starting at the end of the s, a number of new Market Maker firms provided foreign exchange and derivative day trading through new electronic trading platforms.
These allowed day traders to have instant access to decentralised markets such as forex and global markets through derivatives such as contracts for difference. Most of these firms were based in the UK and later in less restrictive jurisdictions, this was in part due to the regulations in the US prohibiting this type of over-the-counter trading.
These firms typically provide trading on margin allowing day traders to take large position with relatively small capital, but with the associated increase in risk. Retail forex trading became a popular way to day trade due to its liquidity and the hour nature of the market. The following are several basic strategies by which day traders attempt to make profits. Besides these, some day traders also use contrarian reverse strategies more commonly seen in algorithmic trading to trade specifically against irrational behavior from day traders using these program trading and intraday volatility.
It is important for a trader to remain flexible and adjust their techniques to match changing market conditions. Some of these approaches require shorting stocks instead of buying them: There are several program trading and intraday volatility problems with short sales—the broker may not have shares to lend in a specific issue, the broker can call for the return of its shares at any time, and some restrictions are imposed in America by the U.
Securities and Exchange Commission on short-selling see uptick rule for details. Some of these restrictions in particular the uptick program trading and intraday volatility don't apply to trades of stocks that are actually shares of an exchange-traded fund ETF. Trend followinga strategy used in all trading time-frames, assumes that financial instruments which have been rising steadily will continue to rise, and vice versa with falling.
The trend follower buys an instrument which has been rising, or short sells a falling one, in the expectation that the trend will continue. Contrarian investing program trading and intraday volatility a market timing strategy used in all trading time-frames. It assumes that financial instruments which have been rising steadily will reverse and start to fall, and vice versa. The contrarian trader buys an instrument which has been falling, or short-sells a rising one, in the expectation that the trend will change.
Range trading, or range-bound trading, is a trading style in which stocks are watched that have either been rising off a support price program trading and intraday volatility falling off a resistance price. That is, every program trading and intraday volatility the stock hits a high, it falls back to the low, and vice versa.
Such a stock is said to be "trading in a range", which is the opposite of trending. A related approach to range trading is looking for moves outside of an established program trading and intraday volatility, called a breakout price moves up or a breakdown price moves downand assume that once the range has program trading and intraday volatility broken prices will continue in that direction for some time.
Scalping was originally referred to as spread trading. Scalping is a trading style where small price gaps created by the bid-ask spread are exploited by the speculator. It normally involves establishing and liquidating a position quickly, usually within minutes or even seconds.
Scalping highly liquid instruments for off-the-floor day traders involves taking quick profits while minimizing risk loss exposure. The basic idea of scalping is to exploit the inefficiency of the market when volatility increases and the trading range expands. When stock values suddenly rise, they short sell securities that seem overvalued. Rebate trading is an equity trading style that uses ECN rebates as a primary source of profit and revenue. Most ECNs charge commissions to customers who want to have their orders filled immediately at the best prices available, but the ECNs pay commissions to buyers or sellers who "add liquidity" by placing limit orders that create "market-making" in a security.
Rebate traders seek to make money from these rebates and will usually maximize their returns by trading low priced, high volume stocks. This enables them to trade more shares and contribute more liquidity with a set amount of capital, while limiting the risk that they will not be able to exit a position in the stock.
The basic strategy of news playing is to buy a stock which has just announced good news, or short sell on bad news. Such events provide enormous volatility in a stock and therefore the greatest chance for quick profits or losses.
Determining whether news is "good" or "bad" must be determined by the price action of the stock, because the market reaction may not match the tone of the news itself. This is because rumors or estimates of the event like those issued by market and industry analysts will already have program trading and intraday volatility circulated before the official release, causing prices to move in anticipation.
The price movement caused by the official news will therefore be determined by how good the news is relative to the market's expectations, not how good it is in absolute terms. Keeping things simple can also be an effective methodology when it comes to trading.
These traders rely on a combination of price movement, chart patterns, volume, and other program trading and intraday volatility market data to gauge whether or not they should take a trade.
For instance, the prediction interval for the odds ratio of ddimdich ranged from 8. 65 to 36. 20 (Model 2 using MLE), versus 14.

Find auditor offices. Auditors provide information on government auditing standards, internal audits, financials, budgets, debt, spending, accounting, operations, compliance and performance.
In a government setting, an Auditor performs an oversight role that ensures the transparency and accountability of government agencies and operations. The Auditor is responsible for providing objective evaluations of the performance of government agencies, the integrity of the government's financial operations, and the compliance of government agencies with laws, rules, and regulations. The Auditor also helps government agencies accomplish their objectives by identifying opportunities for improving operations. At times, Auditors may also uncover corrupt or fraudulent activities.
The process of conducting an audit typically includes some variation of the following components:
The unique role of Auditors requires that they be granted the authority needed to carry out investigations and other audit activities. This authority typically comes from legislation that ensures the Auditor has full access to government agencies and their records, and provides safeguards against interference from agencies being audited. Auditors often operate outside of traditional management structures, and may report to an audit committee or other oversight authority. This further protects against interference in the Auditor's work.
In addition to internally focused activities, an Auditor may audit government grants and contracts awarded to private sector entities. These externally focused reviews provide oversight and transparency for the distribution of grant funds and contract payments.
In some cases, an outside Auditor may be contracted to conduct an audit of some aspect of a government agency or program. For example, an outside accounting firm almost always conducts the annual financial audit. The purpose of the annual financial audit is to confirm that the government's annual financial statements accurately represent its financial position. The annual financial audit may also uncover problems or deficiencies in the entity's financial policies and procedures.

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Michael Morhaime, President, CEO and Co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., has been named the Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2012 Technology Award winner. Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur Of The Year is the country's most prestigious business award for entrepreneurs. The award encourages entrepreneurial activity and recognizes leaders and visionaries who demonstrate innovation, financial success and personal commitment as they create and build world-class businesses.
Morhaime was recognized for his commitment to a high standard of quality that has propelled Blizzard Entertainment to the pinnacle of the gaming industry and positioned the company as an internationally recognized leader in interactive entertainment. Morhaime was honored at the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards gala, the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum® in Palm Springs, Calif. The Forum is the nation's premier gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies. Awards were given in nine additional categories. The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award winners were selected by an independent panel of judges from 244 regional award recipients.
"To use his words, Morhaime has unleashed his 'inner geek,' creating a cultural phenomenon that is unparalleled in the gaming industry," said Bryan Pearce, Americas Director, Entrepreneur Of The Year, Ernst & Young LLP. "Morhaime brings a commitment to quality to his consumers and an inclusive work environment to his company, both of which have contributed to the immense success of Blizzard."
"I get by with a little help from my friends" – and family
Blizzard was started from the ground up with little more than hopes, dreams and a loving grandmother. In 1991, Morhaime decided to leave corporate life and start a company with two partners. There was only one problem: he did not have the seed money to invest, so he approached his grandmother who provided him with a $15,000 loan written on an index card. That card is still displayed in Morhaime's office today. Since then, Blizzard Entertainment has become a market leader in software development and publishing and is renowned for some of the world's most critically acclaimed games and blockbusters such as World of Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo franchises.
Blizzard's success under Morhaime's leadership has helped transform the company into a global enterprise, with offices in North America, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Over the past 20 years, Morhaime has navigated Blizzard through changes in corporate ownership and has managed the growth of the company from its three original founders to more than 4,000 employees worldwide.
Every voice matters
Morhaime has developed a unique cultural environment at Blizzard – one that truly differentiates the company. As a development team finishes one project, it collaborates with the executive team on the next game. By including the development teams in the decision making process, the company is able to foster an environment where developers are extremely passionate and motivated in their work. The development team seeks feedback from employees throughout the company, making the development of a game at Blizzard completely interactive.
This sense of ownership, along with the collaborative work environment, has had a very positive impact on the quality level of the games produced, leading to scores of "game of the year" awards, a globally recognized brand name, and several "best places to work" awards.
National Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 Technology finalists
In addition to Morhaime, the Ernst & Young National Entrepreneur Of The Year Technology finalists were: Jon Oringer, Founder and CEO, Shutterstock, based in New York, N.Y., is an innovative technology company, operating in more than 150 countries and 10 languages, with a mission to connect creative professionals with the best photos, vectors, illustrations and video from thousands of contributors around the world; Ken Xie, Founder, President and CEO, Fortinet, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., is a worldwide provider of network security appliances and a market leader in unified threat management; David Flynn, Founder and CEO, and Rick White, Founder and CMO, Fusion-io, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, accelerates databases, virtualization, cloud computing, big data and the applications that drive our economy and our daily lives with the Fusion ioMemory platform.

SAN JOSE, CA -- Despite overwhelming agreement that higher education is important to the well-being of American society, leaders differ on how well colleges and the systems of higher education operate, what students need to be taught, or how it should be paid for, according to a new study, Taking Responsibility: Leaders' Expectations of Higher Education, released today by the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.
The study, conducted by Public Agenda for the National Center, also found that leaders think that too many students are not sufficiently prepared academically to receive a higher education. When presented with a list of 16 possible problems facing higher education, the survey found 88 % of all respondents saying, too many students need remedial education.
To date, the attention has centered on higher education's cost and the financial burden many must assume in acquiring a degree, said Deborah Wadsworth, Public Agenda's Executive Director. Leaders, however, are focused on something that's received little public notice: the lack of academic preparedness of students now entering U.S. colleges and universities.
The survey, conducted by mail in the fall of 1998, is the first to compare leaders from outside higher education with those from inside higher education. The report surveyed 601 leaders, including college professors, college deans and administrators, government officials, and business leaders.
All of the groups of leaders agreed that a strong higher education system is vitally important to the well-being of American society. The survey respondents were nearly unanimous in their view that a strong higher education system is a key to the continued economic growth and progress of the United States, with 97 % of all respondents saying that this sentiment is either very or somewhat close to their own view.
In addition, the report found an overwhelming majority of leaders believe it is essential to insure that higher education is accessible to every qualified and motivated student. Approximately 92 % of respondents think that society should not allow the price of a college education to prevent qualified and motivated students from attending college.
The leaders also agreed that the vast majority of qualified and motivated students can get a college education if they want one and that lack of student motivation and responsibility is a more important obstacle than lack of money.
Despite agreement from leaders that higher education is necessary and important to society, the consensus falls apart when leaders begin to focus more heavily on the details, according to the report. The survey found that tensions were greatest between college faculty and business leaders, with college administrators and government officials often falling somewhere in between.
The most extreme disagreement between business and academic leaders was about how well colleges and systems of higher education operate. The report noted that those who are outside the academy, especially business executives, think that higher education should be held accountable to the same standards of cost and efficiency that apply to other institutions. The survey found that 64% of business leaders think that higher education has a lot to learn from the private sector, while 77% of professors take the opposite stand: that business methods have limited application to higher education.
The survey also found that business leaders want professors to teach more, rely more on technology, and focus more on research that is relevant to society. But, by margins of approximately three to one, professors and administrators say that colleges are teaching students what they need to know.
The study also found that business leaders want higher education to cut costs and students to pay more before coming to government for more funding, while other leaders see government as the first line of support. Nearly half of college professors, college administrators, and government leaders surveyed believe that since society benefits from having a large number of college graduates, taxpayers should pay more of the cost of a college education, compared to only 30% of business leaders who share this view.
At a time when business and higher education need to work more closely together, business leaders appear to be issuing a warning: if you want our continued and increased support, some changes in the way you operate are needed, said John Immerwahr, author of the report. Dr. Immerwahr is a senior research fellow at Public Agenda where he has authored studies on a number of subjects including health care reform and free speech. He is also an associate vice president of academic affairs at Villanova University.
Additional copies of the survey are available from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education (fax requests to 408-271-2697 or visit our web site: http://www.highereducation.org).
Public Agenda is a nonpartisan, nonprofit public opinion research education organization working to help citizens better understand complex issues and to help the nation's leaders better understand the public's point of view. It was founded in 1975 by social scientist and author Daniel Yankelovich and former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance.
The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education was established in 1998 to promote opportunity, affordability and quality in American higher education. As an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, the National Center provides action-oriented analyses of state and federal policies affecting education beyond high school. The National Center receives financial support from a consortium of national philanthropic organizations, and is not affiliated with any institution of higher education or with any government agency.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Sundblom's Sarasota Circle
It was painted by Thornton Utz, and Utz was another of Haddon Sundblom's many apprentices during the early days of his career.
Utz was a long way and many years from Sunny's Chicago studio when he painted this piece for the December 1958 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
He was living in Sarasota, Florida where he had moved his family, alongside his close friend, Al Buell, who was yet another Sundblom Circle alumnus. Below, an Al Buell illustration for Cosmo.
Sunny was said to be not much of a teacher from an academic perspective. Rather than explain the problems he saw in his protegés' efforts he more typically repainted them himself. So apprentices like Utz and Buell learned mostly by intently watching the master's every brush stroke.
When Sundblom was asked what he thought of how his Circle had migrated to New York and all across America, he said, "How does one estimate the influence of a studio whose known alumni include a goodly number of top illustrators, gallery painters and art directors, a few ad executives, copy writers, a plumbing contractor, a politician, a millinery tycoon, a policeman, a top lightweight boxer, a world champion pistol shot, two ministers of the gospel, plus three hundred or more hopefuls of whose fate we know nothing?"
Presented with a partial list of names that included Utz and Buell - and all of yesterday's artists - Sundblom said (I assume somewhat facetiously), "I could add many more names to your list, but I hesitate because, while I'm sure that most of the alumni remember us kindly, there are no doubt some who, after years of progressive mental and spiritual enlightenment, might on the basis of guilt by association, want to invoke the Fifth Amendment."
Among those not mentioned is Ben Stahl, another member of "The Sarasota Sundblom Circle" (A phrase I'm christening today). Stahl had arrived, portfolio in hand, at Stevens, Sundblom and Stult in 1932, a Depression year. He was put immediately on the payroll. Despite the times, the studio was said to be bustling and "thronged with talent" and, like so many before and after him, Stahl learned his trade at Sundblom's easel.
And just to demonstrate once again how many talents were developed in Sunny's studio, while Stahl was there painting, "Stan Ekman..."
"... and Ward Brackett were there, developing rapidly..."
"... and young Coby Whitmore was there, running errands."
On Monday: even MORE Sundblom Circle apprentices.
* Many thanks to Steve Scott for the Al Buell scan in today's post.

Just wanted to thank you for this lovely blog. The diversity of styles and excellent compositions show how wonderful illustration was and could be. It truly informative and inspirational.ReplyDelete
The pretty women and occasional pin up don't hurt either.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In regard to Sundblom's reaction and comment about so many of his alumni becoming well known as illustrators.. he not only has a wry sense of humor, he puts it into proper perspective, and doesn't pat himself on the back, as he rightfully could have. I admire that from an illustrator and studio partner that was one of illustration's true giants and a great influence.ReplyDelete

(May 23, 2012) It was reported on May 1, 2012, that two legislative proposals currently before the Danish Parliament, L 160 and L 159, will make the use of digital communication with the public sector, for which specific computer systems must be used, mandatory for Danish citizens. (New Danish Law Will Make Digital Communication with the Public Sector Mandatory, IT-POLITISK (May 1, 2012).)
Proposal L 160 is on the "public sector document box," the use of which would replace almost all paper letter communication conveyed from the public sector to citizens. The law requires that as of November 2014, all Danish citizens 15 years of age and above use the new service; before that date, its use is be voluntary. (Id.; L 160 Forslag til lov om Offentlig Digital Post, Folketinget [Danish parliament] website (Apr. 13, 2012).)
A digital letter delivered to the document box from a government organ to a citizen would have the same legal effect as the mailing of a regular paper letter, whether or not the citizen has actually registered with the document box service. In comments to the proposal, the Finance Minister justified this by drawing an analogy to physical mailboxes, which people (i.e., residential building owners) must set up in order to receive mail through the postal service. Unlike setting up a physical mailbox, however, using a document box requires that the citizen consent to register with a specific private company for service. (New Danish Law Will Make Digital Communication with the Public Sector Mandatory, supra.)
Under L 160, the Finance Minister is authorized to select a single vendor to manage the public sector document box system; citizens would have to register with that vendor and accept its terms of service. The public sector document box is already operational, with a vendor, e-Boks, selected at least until 2015, when its contract will be up for renewal. (Id.)
The other, related legislative proposal, L 159 , "makes it mandatory to use digital self-service systems (similar to online banking) for certain purposes." (Id.; L 159 Forslag til lov om ændring af lov om Det Centrale Personregister, lov om dag-, fritids- og klubtilbud m.v. til børn og unge, lov om folkeskolen og sundhedsloven, Folketinget website (Apr. 13, 2012).)
L 159 is the first stage of this plan of mandatory electronic self-service for all applications and registrations carried out by citizens. It covers children's school registrations, applications for child daycare service, national health care medical card applications, and moving registrations (citizens must register a new address with the local municipality within five days of their move or face a fine). For such tasks, most municipalities reportedly already have online self-service sytems; what is new is that L 159 makes the use of the systems, to be designed by each municipality, mandatory from December 2012. No specific requirements are set forth for the nature of the systems designed. (New Danish Law Will Make Digital Communication with the Public Sector Mandatory, supra.)
Comments included in L 159, which are "part of the preparatory work for the law, if passed," are ambiguous, however, about the situation in which a citizen refuses to register for NemID, the joint Internet banking login and digital signature system introduced in 2010 and used by all Danish banks. (Id.) It has been noted that "[w]hile L 159 does not specifically mandate that citizens use NemID, in practice this will be forced upon the Danish citizens since it will not be possible to use the (mandatory) self-service systems without NemID." (Id.)

'Rama Rating: 9 out of 10
As Avengers vs. X-Men wraps up this week, so too does it's "all killer, no filler" sister title, AvX Vs. In this fairly lighthearted final issue of AvX: Vs, we're treated to an expanded glimpse at the conflict between Scarlet Witch and Hope, along with a host of hilarious and beautifully rendered vignettes depicting unseen, alternate, and just plain off-beat scenes from the AvX spectacle.
In the book's main segment, the long embattled mutant Avenger the Scarlet Witch comes to blows with Hope, the mutant scion everyone believes will play a hand in re-igniting the mutant species which Scarlet Witch infamously reduced to a handful of members at the end of . It's a long time coming, and while there have been moments and hints of the conflict since the two found themselves on the same side of the conflict, this is really where the knockdown, drag-out fight happens. While some of the fight was glimpsed in Avenvers vs. X-Men #12, what happens here shows a little more of the scope of the conflict, and the personal nature of the rivalry between the two. As Scarlet Witch struggles for redemption, Hope struggles with the possibility of a destiny that she may not be able to fulfill. Kieron Gillen really brings it with his script, and his sardonic, almost bratty take on Hope is one of my favorite portrayals of the character. A standout moment is when she headbutts Wanda, proclaiming, "'No more mutants'... No more nose!" One of AvX's major victories is placing Hope as a character that stands alongside the Marvel Universe's heavy hitters, and Gillen was one of the main writers to shape her character. Jim Cheung also proves why he is one of the best artists in Marvel's stable, and uses his skills in drawing teenagers to make hope look youthful, powerful, and even mischievous. As with Wanda, when Captain America and Iron Man appear briefly, Cheung's take looks absolutely definitive, even through only a handful of panels. This is a skillfully rendered, and well-told addition to the scope of AvX: #12.
Then, there are the handful of small-scale stories, parodies, and pages that make up the second half of this book. Rather than focusing on a second throwdown, AvX: Vs. #6 uses it's latter pages to showcase some brilliant and hilarious... let's just say "outtakes" from AvX. From Brian Bendis and Jim Mahfood's insult volley between Cyclops and Captain America, to the Immonen's brilliant, single-page "AvX Science Battle!," to Squirrel Girl and Pixie unwittingly playing "Heroclix" with Avengers and X-Men figures made from the Puppet Master's clay, nearly every vignette delivers laughs, terrific and, occasionally unconventional, art, and another compelling reason that this, along with Kaare Andrews's inspired story from issue #4, will be the part of AvX that you'll return to most often. Other segments include Havok besting Captain America in a single panel because, according to the captions, "the X-Office put this book together," Domino using her knowledge of pressure points to fell the Red Hulk, a single page throwdown between the X-Men's janitor, Toad, and the Avengers' butler Jarvis - wherein Toad utters my favorite line of the book, "Toad get Miss White all the computer." - Hawkeye creepily daydreaming about his girlfriend, Spider-Woman engaged in combat with various X-Women (spelling out a little too much about what may have made this series work for some fans), and finally, a brief tousle between Iron Fist and Iceman, brilliantly drawn by Ramon K. Perez and Jordie Bellaire. The second half of AvX: Vs #6 is like the DVD extras. They aren't the reason you bought the series, but they certainly add value and entertainment after the fact.
Overall, AvX: Vs was not the most essential component of Marvel's 2012 event. Its focus solely on fights that couldn't quite make it into the main title ensured that, often, the book would be primarily style rather than substance. Surprisingly, however, the creative minds behind various portions of the mini-series found freedom to create profoundly different and interesting glimpses at these characters without the shackles of continuity heavy exposition, or editorially mandated story drivers. Even if you didn't read the other five issues of AvX: Vs., even if you didn't read any of AvX at all, the talent on display in this issue is more than worth the purchase price. If anyone doesn't smile at the final page, where Squirrel Girl and Pixie find out their innocent game may have wider-reaching ramifications than they could have ever imagined, then they may have a bigger problem than finding great comics.

Who is Simon Baz?
Mechanic. Street racer. Suspected terrorist. And now, a member of the interstellar police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.
Beyond that, though... well, our hero is still hazy. Writer Geoff Johns and artist Doug Mahnke don't take many chances with this new hero after the Guantanamo Bay-inspired #0 issue, but instead lay down plot points to try to raise the stakes.
On the run from the federal government after the Lantern ring broke him out of prison, Simon Baz is still a bit of a blank slate in this book. To be honest, Geoff Johns focuses on just about everyone but him in this issue — President Obama and Amanda Waller lay on the exposition about the previous four Lanterns, Simon's sister gives him at least some sort of human touchstone to threaten him (besides incarceration), a hint of mystery as to Hal Jordan and Sinestro's current predicament, and there's a nice cliffhanger that should lead to a thrilling action-heavy issue next month. As far as plotting goes, Johns is going basic but strong — in particular, I love the Jordan/Sinestro riff on the iconic Abin Sur induction speech to the Green Lantern Corps.
The art is a good foundation for this, strong but not altogether radical. Doug Mahnke's artwork looks particularly clean, and while occasionally the details are a little weird — Simon's sister Sira works for the Secretary of State's office, yet walking in it looks like a bank, and the energy of the pages gets oppressive with Alex Sinclair and Tony Avina's dark color palette at the end of the book — it's still very easy to take in. Simon's costume, with the bold shoulder design, is particularly nice to look at, and I think will lend itself well to combat once the action heats up.
It's a slow burn, and it doesn't shoot for the moon — yet — but this is also a case of Geoff Johns doing his homework. He's set up just about everything he needs to launch Simon Baz on his troubled path of heroism... except a clear mission statement. By virtue of him being a Green Lantern, we know Simon is worthy, that he will become a force for good, but there's nothing driving him like Hal's theme of "conquer fear" or Kyle's "imagine anything." If Johns can create a strong metaphor for Baz, we'll be on to something amazing. But can even DC's designated hitter come up with that potent kind of magic twice?Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!

The Koolie Club of Australia Inc. was formed in April 2000, by a small group of Koolie enthusiasts who wished to bring people together who had a common interest, to share knowledge and understanding of a wonderful breed of working dog. They all knew that Koolies are naturally very talented dogs that do well at any work they are put to from working sheep, goats and cattle on farms and stations, on transports and in sale yards, gently working dairy cows, fronting up to scrub cattle or droving the long paddock.
When they got together they realized what they saw as special traits in their own "great dog" were in fact normal Koolie traits.
Not only are Koolies great at traditional work, they also excel in dog sports such as agility, tracking, trieball and obedience and they are also successfully used in such things as rescue, pets for therapy, quarantine work, explosive detection dogs as well as making great companion dogs in suitable circumstances.
The Koolie Club of Australia Inc. has gone on to promote these talents, to educate potential purchasers of the talents and needs of their Koolies and also to welcome into their membership all who think in a like way and want to share good fellowship while promoting these ideals.
The Koolie Club of Australia Inc. was the first club formed for the breed and is not affiliated in any way to any other group, association or ruling body. This gives us total independence on how we run our club. The club has been set up in a legal and safe manner with a good size committee to manage its affairs openly with regularly reporting to Consumer Affairs as required under rules of incorporation.
If you are interested in the future of the Koolie, like to socialize, with your dog, you are welcome to visit our meetings or become a member,
and we will celebrate with you!!!!
The Koolie Club of Australia Inc. currently has over 250 members across Australia and welcomes members from the USA, New Zealand, The Netherlands and Germany to its ranks as well. Our members range from several breeders with over 40 years experience breeding working Koolies, many with 15 or 20 years, through to people who have just found Koolies. Our past Patron Mr. Frank Kelm, who passed away in 2010 had over 50 years experience working and breeding Koolies, his reputation and dogs are known all over Australia.
All are welcome - our intention is to enjoy good company, learn from each other and keep an open mind to the ideas of others.
We do not tell people how to breed their dogs, we give our members credit for knowing what they want to achieve to suit their own situation, but we are here to offer suggestions or assistance if inexperienced or experienced breeders feel they need some advice or ideas. For this reason we have not laid down a 'breed standard' at this time as we accept that the different styles of Koolies suit the many and varied jobs they undertake. We also feel that we need to give the breed time to evolve a little before trying to mould the physical attributes to a 'standard'. It is however necessary for breeders to aim to improve their lines from each breeding. The commitment and expense of breeding deserves to bring a positive outcome. To assist breeders and purchasers to achieve their goals we have adopted a guide call the "The Koolie Fundamentals" which describes clearly the points of a structurally sound working Koolie.
One thing we have come to realize is that Koolies all have a wonderful personality, temperament and will to work and it is our main aim to retain these attributes in our breed.
We will not be subjecting owners and their dogs to 'instinct testing' to see if they make the grade. We believe the majority of Koolies have a natural instinct and will not penalize a dog because its owner has not got the skill to bring that ability to the fore or because the dog is not in a situation best suited to it being able to work.

Mardi Gras Madrigals celebrates seventh year
Celebrate Mardi Gras medieval style. Next Tuesday, February 21, The Goliard Society of Medievalists will present Mardi Gras Madrigals, a full medieval feast with music and stories, and food based on historic recipes—eaten without utensils, of course.
This year is the seventh year for Mardi Gras Madrigals (MGM), which has become an Augsburg tradition. The Goliards, a student club interested in promoting the study and enjoyment of the Middle Ages, first began hosting the event in 2006.
Guests at the 2012 edition of MGM will hear music from Augsburg and beyond. There will be a Celtic folk band and a woodwind quintet, as well as the Schola Goliardi, a quintet of singers performing comic songs from PDQ Bach. The Minneapolis Sough High School Varsity Choir will also perform Renaissance madrigals.
This year's MGM will also feature the internationally acclaimed Rose Ensemble (pictured here). Founded in 1996, The Rose Ensemble reawakens the ancient with vocal music that stirs the emotions, challenges the mind, and lifts the spirit. The Saint Paul group tours internationally with repertoire spanning 1,000 years and 25 languages.
MGM has more than just music. It will also have the midwest premier of a 15th-century comedy, "The Farce of the Fart." Directed by Nathan Keepers, formerly of Theatre de la Jeune Lune, and featuring Augsburg student actors, this touching and moving theatrical piece deals with the conflicts of marital life, and the eternal question: "Who farted?"
The food at MGM is prepared by Aviands, based on historic recipes. This is consistently one of the most memorable parts of the evening. The feast is like nothing you get in the dining commons. Try the bread, served in full loaves that you have to tear apart with your hands.
MGM is generously supported by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. One of MGM's best features is that it invites future Auggies from area high schools to come and join in the fun. They always have a blast, and many of them end up coming to Augsburg.
Here's the best part: Augsburg students attend free of charge. Thanks to a generous grant from student government, Auggies with a valid student ID can attend this event free of charge. Medieval dinner and a show, free!
Mardi Gras Madrigals is a popular event and reservations are encouraged. The festivities take place on Tuesday, February 21 in Hoversten Chapel. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Box office opens at 6 p.m.
Tickets are $20. FREE for Augsburg students with ID. For reservations go to www.augsburg.edu/mardigras.

FREMONT — Police are investigating reports that a man attempted to lure a 15-year-old girl into his SUV this week as she walked to school.
Officers responded at 7:20 a.m. Wednesday to Brier Elementary School at 39201 Sundale Drive for a report of suspicious man after the teen reported that a man offered her a ride as she walked outside the building, said Det. Bill Veteran.
The teen, who attends Kennedy High School, told school officials and police that during the past month the same man has offered her a ride in his vehicle five times on five separate dates while she walked to school.
The man, estimated to be in his early to mid 20s, was driving a white mid-90s Suburban-like SUV with a roof rack.
Police described the suspect as an Asian man with a heavy build and short dark hair.
Anyone with information about the incident can call police at 510-790-6800 or at the anonymous tip line at 510-494-4856.

EA Sports predicts All-Stars defeat Chelsea FC at 2012 MLS All-Star Game
[media-credit name="EA Sports" align="aligncenter" width="485″][/media-credit]
EA Sports has a penchant for doing entertaining simulations, and this is no exception.
With the real All-Star game set for Wednesday, July 24, the simulation has the MLS All-Stars playing to a 2-2 tie with Chelsea FC, only to see the All-Stars triumph during penalty kicks.
Some details from the simulated match:
Chelsea FC got out to an early start after newly-signed midfielder, Eden Hazard got them off the mark in the 18th minute with a blast from just outside the 18 yard box. Veteran captain Frank Lampard added a second goal just before the break, and the Blues took a 2-0 lead to half-time. Coming out of the break, the MLS side showed a new energy evident by an initial attack that saw Kyle Beckerman glance a header off the top bar. Closely following Beckerman's chance, Dwayne De Rosario found a streaking Landon Donovan who slotted home the first MLS goal in the 53rd minute. Nearing the end of a back-and-forth second half filled with chances from both sides, MLS leading goal scorer Chris Wondolowski tied the match in the 88th minute and sent the tilt straight to penalties.

Pretty In Bronze
I scored these beauties on Ebay this week. You can file this under "They don't make them like they used to".
These will go on the next project I'm planning. That would be the butler's pantry/dining room cabinets. These will go on the dining room side, of course. The large ones will be for the uppers and the small ones for the lowers. There is almost enough to do both sides, but I'm short 4 hinges. Does Home Depot carry ornately embossed, cast bronze hinges? Maybe I can pick up what I need there. The little cross looking thing is one half of a clasp of some sort. The guy I bought them off of has no idea where the other half is. I may just use it as a decorative element.
