Two Stocks to Buy Before Earnings
You don't have to wait to see how earnings are working out to get a hold of these two stocks.
We have a total of five new buys in our two portfolios (two featured below). I'm only moving on these now because they are all acting stronger than the market, and a couple are coming off bases they've been building a while. In any case, I'm enthusiastic about them all. Whether or not we hit the exact best time to buy them is of little concern.
Roche Holding (PINK:RHHBY)
This is a Swiss pharmaceutical company. Genentech is a subsidiary of it. I'll give you their PR department's official description: Roche Holding AG operates in the fields of pharmaceuticals and diagnostics worldwide. It discovers, develops, and provides diagnostic products and services that enable patients and health-care professionals in the detection, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases.
The company provides in-vitro diagnostics instruments and tests for the early detection and diagnosis of cancer. It is also involved in the research and development, and marketing of pharmaceutical products primarily in the therapeutic areas of oncology, virology, inflammation, metabolic disorders, and central nervous system.
In addition, the company provides a portfolio of diagnostics products, such as blood glucose meters for diabetes patients; point-of-care testing devices for the doctors; high-throughput analyzers for hospitals and commercial diagnostic laboratories; and state-of-the-art instruments and reagents for life science research.
Further, the company offers integrated cobas, a solution for blood serum testing in commercial and hospital labs, medical centers, and laboratory networks. Roche Holding AG also offers various products for researchers in the areas of amplification, cell analysis, gene expression, genome sequencing, microarrays, nucleic acid purification, protein analysis, real-time PCR systems, and transfection. The company was founded in 1896 and is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland.
As you can see, Roche is involved in a lot of stuff. It's an excellent company. I've been waiting months to buy it, hoping for a pullback when the market softens around third-quarter earnings.
I'm forced to pull the trigger now because it just had a very positive new development in Phase III clinical trials of a new cancer drug. It showed noticeably better efficacy in breast cancer treatment and is believed to have broader application.
The company's dividend is irregular, but generally solid and higher than most American companies. The current yield is 3.9%.
Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE:TD)
According to its PR department company profile, TD provides financial and banking services in North America and internationally.
The company's Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking segment offers various financial products and services to personal and small business customers. It also provides banking solutions through telephone and Internet banking, as well as operates approximately 2,780 automated banking machines, and a network of 1,150 branches located in Canada.
In addition, this segment offers financing, investment, cash management, and international trade services to medium-sized Canadian businesses; a range of insurance products, including home and automobile coverage, and life and health insurance in Canada and the United States; business property and casualty business in the United States; and credit protection coverage on lending products. Its Wealth Management segment offers direct investing, advice, and asset management services to institutional and retail clients.
The company's US Personal and Commercial Banking segment provides retail and commercial banking operations in the United States. This segment offers its financial products and services through a network of approximately 1,281 stores located from Maine to Florida.
Its Wholesale Banking segment provides a range of capital markets and investment banking products and services comprising underwriting and distribution of new debt and equity issues, providing advice on strategic acquisitions and divestitures, and meeting the daily trading, funding, and investment needs. This segment serves companies, governments, and institutions in financial markets worldwide.
Toronto-Dominion Bank was founded in 1855, and is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.
I actually don't like this bank. When it makes an acquisition, as it did with Waterhouse Securities and Commerce Bank, it immediately cuts services and/or raises fees. Still, the results speak for themselves, and this is a company that is well capitalized and well operated. The stock has more than quadrupled in the last ten years, and shows no sign of slowing.
Earnings are consistent and the stock pays a nice dividend, currently yielding 3.7%. It will surely be affected by currency swings between the greenback and loonie, but over time, that will work in our favor. Canada's budget deficits are much lower than ours. It won't have to debase its currency nearly as much.Editor's Note: This article was written by Jack Adamo of Insiders Plus.

John Paulson has more than 44 percent of his equities now in gold. At this time last year Mr. Paulson had 25 percent in the yellow metal. That's an increase of 19 percent of his 21 billion dollar hedge fund towards gold. The last time he was this invested in the metal was March 2009, when he had about 46 percent invested. Gold prices went lower in the second quarter, the largest loss since September 2008.
Today's movement in the gold market has shown the affect another round of monetary easing could have on pricing. Just because there have been signs of an economic slowdown in the U.S.A., some economist think it is not a foregone conclusion that the Fed will act. "While further monetary easing remains a viable option for the Fed, the timing may be delayed for more dire conditions," said Michael Woolfolk, a senior currency strategist at BNY Mellon in New York. In the second week of next month there will be a meeting of the Federal Reserve that could help outline the direction they will be taking.
In the last few months there has been talk of Greece making an exit from the European Union. The leaders of the union promised to do everything in their power to keep it together. The intention may be good, but the reality could be Greece leaving sooner than later. "It's a question of when, not if. Next month there is the ratification of the ESM [European Stability Mechanism] in Germany and you may well see a situation where Greece leaves the euro, the ESM is ratified and Spain and Italy then go in and ask for the money. There is a feeling that time is running out," Paul Day, Chief Strategist, at Market Securities said in an interview.

Obama-Biden's foreign policy edge
Mitt Romney introduced Paul Ryan as his running mate Saturday alongside the USS Wisconsin, a battleship that saw action in World War II, the Korean War and Desert Storm.
They didn't.
Story Continued Below
Neither Romney nor Ryan served in the military. And while the same can be said about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Romney's choice of Ryan as his No. 2 flips the usual script on its head: This time around, it's the Democrats, not the Republicans, who can claim foreign policy and defense experience.
Obama is the president who succeeded in killing Osama bin Laden and presided over the pullout of combat troops in Iraq – and in his short Senate career, he served on the Foreign Relations Committee, traveled broadly overseas and pushed bills on threat reduction, nuclear weapons and the Iraq war. As a senator, Biden served as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and worked extensively on foreign policy issues from arms control to Iraq.
As a governor and a businessman, Romney had little opportunity to gain that kind of experience. And as a member of Congress, Ryan hasn't sought it out – choosing instead to focus on budget issues.
So despite the military backdrop — and a campaign platform that calls for increased spending by the Defense Department — Romney and Ryan barely mentioned defense or foreign policy in their speeches Saturday. Ryan came the closest: "We are on an unsustainable path that is robbing America of our freedom and security," he said.
But that was it. There was no mention of the war in Afghanistan; no mention of the threat of terrorism; no mention of the automatic defense cuts Ryan has tried to stop; no mention even of America's general standing in the world.
But will it matter? Maybe not.
Romney's choice of Ryan reflects that the 2012 campaign is all about domestic issues – the economy, unemployment and taxes – and not about war or terrorism.

Griffith Park, Point Dume, the 6th Street Bridge near downtown L.A. and a former community hospital in Boyle Heights reputed to be haunted ranked among the most popular film locations in 2012, according to a new survey.
Eight of the top 10 sites for shoots of movies, TV shows, commercials and music videos on city and county streets are publicly owned, the annual survey conducted for the Los Angeles Times by FilmL.A. Inc. found.
"We continue to see a considerable amount of filming that happens on government-owned properties or facilities, from beaches and parks, to public schools and libraries," said Phil Sokoloski, spokesman for FilmL.A., which handles film permits. "The list underscores the importance of having a good working relationship between the film industry and local government authorities."
Griffith Park was again the busiest site for location filming last year. The most popular canyon area, known as the Bird Sanctuary, generated 409 production days — 63 more than in 2011 — including shoots for the TV crime dramas "Southland" and "Sons of Anarchy." (One production day is defined as a crew's permission to film at a single location in a 24-hour period.)
Spanning more than 4,210 acres between the hills of Los Feliz and Burbank, the city-owned park has been a perennial favorite for location scouts because of its cedar grove, mountain roads and iconic observatory, famously portrayed in the James Dean classic "Rebel Without a Cause."
-- Richard Verrier, Los Angeles Times

We are faced implementing a registration workflow with many branches. There are three main flows which in some conditions lead to one another. Each flow has at least four different steps; some steps interact with the server, and every step adds more information to the state. Also the requirement is to have it persistent between sessions, so if the user closes the app (this is a mobile app), it will restore the process from the last completed step with the state from the previous session.
I think this could benefit from the use of the strategy pattern, but I've never had to implement it for such a complex case. Does anyone know of any examples in open source or articles from which I could find inspiration? Preferably the examples would be from a live/working/stable application.
I'm interested in Java implementation mostly; we are developing for Java mobile phones: android, blackberry and J2ME. We have an SDK which is quite well separated from platform specific implementations, but examples in C++, C#, Objective-C or Python would be acceptable.

The Project[1]
Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) is a public IR variability survey of the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. It will take 1929 hours, covering ~109 point sources within an area of 520 sq deg, including 33 known globular clusters and ~350 open clusters. The final products will be a deep IR atlas in 5 passbands and a catalogue of ~106 variable point sources. These will produce a 3-D map of the surveyed region (unlike single-epoch surveys that only give 2-D maps) using well-understood primary distance indicators such as RR Lyrae stars. It will yield important information on the ages of the populations.
The observations will be combined with data from MACHO, OGLE, EROS, VST, SPITZER, HST, CHANDRA, INTEGRAL, and ALMA for a complete understanding of the variable sources in the inner Milky Way. Several important implications for the history of the Milky Way, for globular cluster evolution, for the population census of the bulge and center, and for pulsation theory would follow from this survey.
Our Team is composed by around 90 astronomers, and the Principal Investigators are Dante Minniti (DAA, PUC) and Philip Lucas (Centre for Astrophysics Research, University of Hertfordshire).
The complete list of members is here
Scientific Goals[1]
- To find RR Lyrae in the bulge
- To identify variable stars belonging to known star clusters
- To find eclipsing binaries in large numbers
- To find rare variable sources
- To search for microlensing events
- To monitor the variability around the Galactic Center
- To search for new star clusters
- To provide complementary IR multicolour information
- To find variables stars in the Sgr dwarf
- To identify high proper motion objects and background QSOs

The strategy devised here allows to deliver interesting data to the community, enabling follow-ups throughout the survey. It also facilitates VISTA scheduling of other Public Surveys (e.g. VIKING) by alternating between the Bulge region (RA=17.0-18.75h) in year 3 and the Plane region (RA=11.7-17.4h) in year 4.
- cover the whole bulge and inner plane in ZYJHKs to 3-4 magnitudes deeper than 2MASS in the first season
- find the first variable point sources in the second season
- classify bulge and disk variable stars, microlenses, etc., and measure their amplitudes and periods in the third and fourth seasons
- obtain final measurements based on light curves with 50-200 epochs for a large subset of the initial variables, and high proper motion objects at the end of the survey.
In order to cover the bulge between −10° < L < 10° and −10° < B < 5°, and the disk between −10° < L < −65°, and −2° < B < 2° we ask for a total of 192 nights over 5 years, distributed as shown in the Table below.
The final survey will cover 300 square degrees in the Galactic bulge and 220 square degrees in the inner plane. During the first year (2010) the whole bulge area will be mapped once at ZYJHKs, stepping through all 5 filters in each OB to provide near simultaneous fluxes and reliable colours in each field. It would also be observed once per night in Ks for 4 more epochs, and 2 more epochs in J. The strategy will be repeated for the whole plane field, alternatively through fields of varying density for optimal sky subtraction.
Using only one filter per night maximizes returns, allowing to cover the whole areas, yielding deep ZYJHKs maps of the whole bulge and inner plane. Being fully aware of the confusion and background limits, the observing plan would circle alternatively through fields of varying density for optimal sky subtraction.
During the second year (2011) each field will be observed 3 epochs in Ks, to keep building the baseline. The observing strategy is designed to cover 300 sq deg per night. In that way the whole bulge and plane are observed again the second year, allowing the identification of variable sources (but not the phasing). These data will also allow the creation of deeper master maps in Ks, in order to fine tune the strategy for the main campaign of the following year.
The main bulge variability campaign is carried out during 75 nights in the third year (2012). We ask for consecutive nights during this season, although in practice there will be a few holes due to weather and to the unfortunate fact that 2-3 nights per month the Moon transits in front of the bulge. We will use the Ks-band to map the whole bulge and inner plane over and over. A subset of the fields can be observed more frequently (4 - 8 times per night). This strategy allows to partly remove aliasing and to improve the periods, while being more sensitive to smaller timescale variables and microlensing events. We have compared the specific advantages of doing the variability survey in J and Ks. On the one hand, the J-band gives better photometric precision, higher RR Lyr amplitudes (ΔJ ~ 1.5ΔK), and deeper magnitudes. On the other hand, the Ks-band filter permits more coverage in heavily reddened regions, yields better distances, and gives tighter PSFs, on average by 0.1 arcsec, which would make a difference in the crowded regions. Based on photometry and light curve simulations we adopt the Ks filter for this proposal, noting that we would optimize the strategy after the first year's ZYJHKs data are in hand.
During the fourth year (2013) the main plane variability campaign is carried out using 55 nights in Ks, following a similar strategy as in the case of the previous year.
Finally, during the fifth year (2014) we will observe for 20 and 14 nights the bulge and plane fields, respectively, but with observations spread over the season. This allows the measurement of longer-timescale variables, and the search for high-proper motion objects. A subset of the fields can be observed much more frequently (10-40 times per night). This strategy allows to find short-period variables and planetary transits.
We do not discard the possibility of extending the variability search for a sixth year if the coverage is incomplete due to scheduling or weather.

A turning point for federal employee engagement is upon us.
Most federal managers have spent the last several weeks focusing on Congress, the budget impasse and factors outside of their control. The good news is that employees have returned to work and federal managers now have the ability to control one of the most important drivers for the future success of their teams – employee engagement.
The bad news, however, is that the effects of the government shutdown may affect employee engagement for far longer than federal offices were closed. The short-term nature of the budget deal creates ongoing uncertainty for employees' future, impacting their emotions, perceptions and behaviors. Additionally, while most managers acknowledge the importance of morale and engagement, they often struggle to define what it means and how to improve it. However, the most successful managers in this turbulent time will be those who focus on rebuilding employee engagement.
CEB, a member-based advisory company, has worked closely with over 2,000 public and private sector organizations, surveying over 10,000 employees to understand and identify the key drivers of employee engagement. CEB defines engagement as the amount of commitment, effort and intention to stay that employees exhibit given past experiences, present events and future expectations. Overall, CEB has found that the employees most committed to their organizations put forth 57 percent more effort and are 87 percent less likely to leave than employees who consider themselves disengaged.
Given data from The Federal Employee ViewPoint Survey (FedView), federal agencies and managers have demonstrated a wide range of success in their ability to drive employee engagement. CEB research shows that the organization, managers, and peers each make a difference in an employee's level of engagement; however, effective managers are proven to be the most impactful.
Part of the challenge in improving engagement is that many managers are uncertain of where to focus their efforts, given the many potential drivers of engagement. CEB analysis indicates that, rather than taking a blanket approach, managers should focus on four key imperatives that are proven to have a disproportionate impact on improving engagement.
1. Reconnect Employees to Mission – It is critical to communicate how an individual's work connects to the agency's broader mission and strategy. CEB research shows that this is the single largest driver of engagement. When individuals understand how their role contributes to the mission, the extra effort they contribute to the organization raises by one-third.
2. Navigate Role Complexities – The workplace has become increasingly complex and requires a large amount of collaboration with others in order to accomplish goals. Some managers try to simplify work by filtering activities and information, but these tactics are often unsuccessful. Instead, managers can improve employees' performance by facilitating relationships and providing context and advice to help them effectively prioritize their own work and navigate complexity.
3. Empower Workforce Contribution – FedView survey results indicate that the percentage of employees who have a feeling of empowerment dropped more than 3 percent from 2011 to 2012. This is likely to trend downward again in 2013 following sequestration and the partial shutdown. Empowerment is an important engagement driver, as employees who feel empowered have engagement levels more than 20 percent higher than those who are less empowered. Managers can empower employees by allowing them to guide decisions, influence the way work is done and offer ideas for improvement.
4. Focus on the Future – In order to retain employees, organizations must focus not only on their present experiences but also on future opportunities, roles and career paths. Building engagement by focusing on future expectations as well as current experiences can result in a 17 percent increase in an employee's willingness to accept a new role within the organization and a 38 percent increase in willingness to accept increases in responsibilities.
Federal managers, while faced with many external forces beyond their control, have the ability to control all four of these proven drivers of engagement. Even better, these strategies focus not on changing existing compensation structures or performance models, but instead stress the importance of effective communication and a connection to mission. After several challenging weeks for federal employees, managers should now seize the opportunity to use the shut-down as a turning point to positively improve engagement and remind staff of their important contributions in serving the public.

Student Ambassadors
The Student Ambassador Program works with the Office of Admissions in an effort to utilize the best voice of the campus – its students – in "getting the word out" about New England Law and its offerings. The ambassadors will represent the law school and its individual programs. A position as an ambassador is one of high esteem and a source of self enrichment, which will prove beneficial in future endeavors.
What is a Student Ambassador?
Student ambassadors serve as the link between the entire student body and prospective students. They promote and personalize the law school to prospective students, their families, and other guests to the campus. An ambassador is a student who has a desire to work with faculty, staff, students, and members of the community to promote New England Law and its programs and services.
A Student Ambassador is Someone Who Has:
- excitement and pride for New England Law
- a desire to work with guests of the school
- an ability to work with diverse populations
- skills and enthusiasm to present to groups
- the ability to problem solve, think on your feet, and be flexible under pressure
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- professional demeanor, ability to work well under minimal, yet specific supervision
- maturity, self-motivated, a quick learner, and punctual
- knowledge of the New England Law campus and programs
What Does a Student Ambassador Do?
Campus visits and special recruitment programs are integral to a prospective student's law school decision. Prospective students often rely on these programs to see if the school is the right fit for them. Often students wish to see first-hand the school and programs offered. Student ambassadors assist with campus tours, recruitment, orientation, phone-a-thons, open houses, special events, and much more. Through these activities, student ambassadors educate visitors about general pre-admissions requirements, academic and campus life, as well as the history, traditions, and achievements of the law school. Talking with a student ambassador provides prospective students with valuable insight about the New England Law community. Prospective students and families who visit New England Law leave campus feeling more educated about its opportunities and more connected with the student experience.

PHOENIX – On July 31, the Arizona Diamondbacks acquired left-handed pitcher and Kokomo native Joe Thatcher, right-handed pitcher Matt Stites and a competitive balance pick from San Diego in exchange for right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy, according to D-backs' Executive Vice President and General Manager Kevin Towers. The Padres' competitive balance pick is the first selection of Competitive Balance Round B between the second and third rounds in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
Thatcher, 31, was 3-1 with a 2.10 ERA (7 ER in 30.0 IP) and 11 holds in 50 relief appearances with Padres this season. He has limited left-handed hitters to a .215 average (14-for-70), and not allowed a run in 46 of his 50 outings.
Thatcher has gone 8-11 with 1 save, a 3.18 ERA (70 ER in 198.1 IP) and 210 strikeouts in 287 appearances over seven seasons with San Diego (2007-13). Since 2009, he ranks third in the Majors allowing just 16.3-percent of inherited runners to score (34-for-208), trailing only Javier Lopez (14.1) and Clay Rapada (15.8). He is second in Major League Baseball games played by a Howard County native to the 379 by Tom Underwood.
"Very bittersweet; I loved the Padres and had seven good years here – but I am excited to go to my second team," Thatcher told The Mighty 1090 Sportsradio in San Diego. "I don't know where my career would have gone if I had not crossed paths with Bud Black and Daren Balsley, they helped me so much. But going to pitch for Kevin Towers in Arizona, well, he has always believed in me."
Thatcher fills the need the D-backs have for a left-handed specialist. Thatcher went undrafted after pitching at Indiana State University, and he pitched in the independent Frontier League in 2004 and '05 before the Brewers signed him in '05. Towers acquired Thatcher in 2007, when he was GM of the Padres, trading reliever Scott Linebrink to the Brewers for Thatcher and a pair of Minor League prospects.
Stites, 23, went 2-2 with 14 saves, a 2.08 ERA (12 ER in 52.0 IP) and 51 strikeouts in 46 relief appearances with Double-A San Antonio in 2013. Stites, who held right-handers to a .165 average (19-for-115) with the Missions, was placed on the Minor League disabled list on July 26 with appendicitis and underwent surgery that day.
Over three Minor League seasons in the Padres' organization (2011-13), Stites has gone 8-2 with 32 saves, a 1.53 ERA (23 ER in 135.1 IP) and 150 strikeouts in 114 games, including a 0.74 ERA (4 ER in 48.2 IP) in 42 games with Single-A Fort Wayne in 2012. Stites also appeared in the Arizona Fall League last year, going 1-0 with 2 saves and a 3.21 ERA (5 ER in 14.0 IP) in 12 outings with Peoria.
Kennedy, 28, was 3-8 with a 5.23 ERA (72 ER in 124.0 IP) in 21 starts with Arizona this season. In four seasons with the D-backs, he went 48-34 with a 3.82 ERA (318 ER in 748.1 IP) in 119 starts. Kennedy tied for the NL lead with 21 wins in 2011 and finished fourth in the NL Cy Young Award voting.
Adcock, 25, combined to go 5-5 with a 7.35 ERA (73 ER in 89.1 IP) in 18 games (16 starts) with Triple-A Reno and Triple-A Omaha (Royals). He was claimed by Arizona off waivers from Kansas City on June 13.
The D-backs 40-man roster is at 38.

Hydrangea flowers are beautiful and produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems. Typically the flowerheads contain two types of flowers: small non-showy flowers in the center or interior of the flowerhead, and large, showy flowers with large colorful sepals (tepals). These showy flowers are often extended in a ring, or to the exterior of the small flowers. Plants in wild populations typically have few to none of the showy flowers, while cultivated hydrangeas have been bred and selected to have more of the larger type flowers
There are two flower arrangements in hydrangeas with Corymb style inflorescens, which includes the commonly grown "bigleaf hydrangea" - Hydrangea macrophylla. Mophead flowers are large round flowerheads resembling pom-poms or, as the name implies, the head of a mop. In contrast, lacecap flowers bear round, flat flowerheads with a center core of subdued, small flowers surrounded by outer rings of larger flowers having showy sepals or tepals. The flowers of some rhododendrons and viburnums can appear, at first glance, similar to those of some hydrangeas

Song Dedication for Rory Sabbatini
Chorus of "You Don't Mess Around With Jim"
And they say you don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off an 'ole Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
There's a message in there somewhere.

It's unreal to me that he'd be bold enough to rattle the chain of Tiger Woods in the media. In the post game show on The Golf Channel last night one of the guys mentioned that he understands that Rory would show that kind of confidence, but doing it in the media isn't a great idea.
Hmmm...ya think?
I saw part of his post-round interview too and his point of view was something in the realm that he made a few mistakes that played into Tiger's strengths.
The mistake that he made was giving Tiger a little extra desire to win.
No matter what you think or how you feel, it's stupid to broadcast those feelings to the media and hence to the world, especially if what you feel or what you think casts doubt on the ability of someone else to perform. When the person you're casting doubt on happens to be ranked number one in his chosen profession, it's more than stupid, it's insane.

Maybe Rory did indeed know the song, and was hoping for the outcome of the following stanza:
Well a hush fell over the pool room
When Jim he come boppin' off the street
And when the cuttin' was done
The only part that wasn't bloody was the soles of the big man's feet
And he was cut in 'bout a hundred places
And he was shot in a couple more
And you better believe they sung a different kind of story
When big Jim hit the floor

I just have one question for Sabbatini:
"Hello-o-o-o, McFly?!?!?"

President's Day is what I consider to be a make-it or break-it day of deals. It's not on par with Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Prime Day and without the right knowledge, it can fall short to Labor Day or July 4th. It can also be a big success with regards to saving money.
President's Day is crucial for retailers because that long weekend for some means an extra day to shop and tremendous opportunities for e-merchants to inundate you with email.

My favorite part of the book was when Lily saved the kitten from drowning. I liked it because it was a lot of action and it was very interesting. The story reminds me of the time when my friend moved away because Lily?s friend Margaret moved away and she felt really sad and that was how I felt. When I read the book I laughed, I almost cried, and I smiled. The unique thing about this book was that it was told in third person but it felt like you were inside Lily?s head.
I would recommend this book for kids ages 9-12, but I think everyone can relate to it. If I read this book to an audience, I would read to one of all ages. If you want to learn more about this book? READ IT!!!!!!!

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has challenged his side to go to Everton and cause a shock in the FA Cup fifth round.
The Seasiders booked their trip to Goodison Park thanks to the easiest of victories in their fourth-round replay at Sheffield Wednesday, which came courtesy of first-half efforts from Matt Phillips and Lomana LuaLua and a Ludovic Sylvestre strike after the interval.
All three goals were from the top drawer and after an incisive attacking display, Holloway wants his side to reproduce that form on Merseyside. "We have to try and replicate that at his place against his team," he said when asked what Toffees manager David Moyes would have thought of Tuesday night's performance.

Key questions needing answers in Florida State spring practice:
Who will win the battle at quarterback?
EJ Manuel took his talents and accolades, which were many, to the NFL and left behind the first quarterback battle since 2008, when Christian Ponder took over the position. Manuel started in his final two seasons, won four bowl games and departed as the Atlantic Coast Conference�s most accurate passer. Junior Clint Trickett returns as the quarterback with the most experience among a group of four waging a spring battle. Trickett has played in 17 games, most in mop-up duty, and has two starts. The other quarterbacks in contention are rising sophomore Jacob Coker and freshmen Sean Maguire and Jameis Winston. Coker played sparingly in four games last season and Winston carries the biggest hype being a five-star prospect from Alabama. Winston also plays baseball, but has an agreement worked out with coach Mike Martin that will prevent him from missing any football practices.
Will a running back rise above the rest?
FSU has gone without a 1,000-yard running back since 1998 and that trend likely isn�t going to change next season. Devonta Freeman returns as the statistical leader in a trio of backs with 1,200 career yards. He�s been unable to establish himself as a go-to starter, however, as James Wilder Jr. worked his way into a shared role last season. That said, the duo combined for 1,300 yards and 19 touchdowns and figure to do the same this season with the addition of a healthy Mario Pender to give FSU a more ground oriented offense, at least in the spring and early in the fall.
Can Hopkins� golden cleats be filled?
The immediate answer is no. There won�t be another Dustin Hopkins anytime soon. The four-year starter walked away from Tallahassee as the Atlantic Coast Conference�s and NCAA�s all-time leading scorer for place-kickers. No pressure, right? Enter Roberto Aguayo, a sophomore who was able to learn from Hopkins from the bench last season. Aguayo was one of the nation�s highest-rated kickers coming out of high school and will be thrust into the starting role headfirst this spring.
How quickly can FSU replenish its losses on defense?
It�s been said teams on high levels simply restock rather than reload. While that might be true, the importance of finding quality starters to replace departed athletes can�t be understated. FSU�s defense loses seven starters, most notably end Bjoern Werner and cornerback Xavier Rhodes. The Seminoles lost all of their starters on the line, with Mario Edwards Jr. returning after moving into the first-team rotation following an injury to the NFL-bound Tank Carradine. There is talent on defense, that�s certain, but FSU will need to replace a starter at every position, including two at what was an already thin linebacker corps.
How will the new coaching staff gel
The paint on the doors for FSU�s assistant coaches has barely dried, as a new group will take the field for the first time together. The list of former coaches is extensive and includes Mark Stoops, Eddie Gran and D.J. Eliot. FSU replaced those with Jeremy Pruitt, Sal Sunseri and Randy Sanders, among others. Coaches will acclimate to each other as well as get to know new players. There also will be much focus on instilling philosophies in the four weeks of practice.

On the heels of Monday's March 10 USDA reports, President Jerry Gulke of The Gulke Group shared his analysis.
"In corn first, it didn't do anything with the feed and residual," Gulke tells Farm Journal Radio's Pam Fretwell. "They left that the same."
Click here for complete coverage of the March 10 USDA reports.
There has been talk that producers will have the face the music regarding fewer cattle on feed and less corn use. Nonetheless, a clearer picture will be available later this month.
"When they see the stocks report on March 31, they then can quantify that and say, 'Well, we didn't use near as much,' or, 'We used more,'" Gulke explains.
The situation in Ukraine continues to evolve, and an increase in corn exports happened before the government unrest in that country unfolded.
"They increased exports 25 million in corn, and that makes sense," Gulke says. "I think the thing in Ukraine is rather evolving. They still have the old-crop corn left to sell, but they said we're not taking any more orders for a while. So we've gained a lot of export business prior to the Ukraine thing."
As for soybeans, the government projected stocks at 145 million bu., a 5 million bu. reduction from the previous month.
"I think the government's telling you, you've got these tight stocks and you're going to have to cut crush and you're going to have to import some beans," Gulke notes. "We'll get by, but this market works both ways."

|Safe Haskell
Two layouts: one is a variant of the Grid layout that allows the desired aspect ratio of windows to be specified. The other is like Tall but places a grid with fixed number of rows and columns in the master area and uses an aspect-ratio-specified layout for the slaves.
- data ChangeMasterGridGeom
- = IncMasterRows !Int
- | IncMasterCols !Int
- | SetMasterRows !Int
- | SetMasterCols !Int
- | SetMasterFraction !Rational
- data ChangeGridGeom
- data Grid a = Grid !Rational
- data TallGrid a = TallGrid !Int !Int !Rational !Rational !Rational
- data SplitGrid a = SplitGrid Orientation !Int !Int !Rational !Rational !Rational
- data Orientation
This module can be used as follows:
import XMonad.Layout.GridVariants
Then add something like this to your layouts:
Grid (16/10)
for a 16:10 aspect ratio grid, or
SplitGrid L 2 3 (2/3) (16/10) (5/100)
for a layout with a 2x3 master grid that uses 2/3 of the screen, and a 16:10 aspect ratio slave grid to its right. The last parameter is again the percentage by which the split between master and slave area changes in response to Expand/Shrink messages.
To be able to change the geometry of the master grid, add something like this to your keybindings:
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_equal), sendMessage $ IncMasterCols 1), ((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_minus), sendMessage $ IncMasterCols (-1)), ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_equal), sendMessage $ IncMasterRows 1), ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_minus), sendMessage $ IncMasterRows (-1))
data ChangeMasterGridGeom Source
The geometry change message understood by the master grid
|IncMasterRows !Int
Change the number of master rows
|IncMasterCols !Int
Change the number of master columns
|SetMasterRows !Int
Set the number of master rows to absolute value
|SetMasterCols !Int
Set the number of master columns to absolute value
|SetMasterFraction !Rational
Set the fraction of the screen used by the master grid
data ChangeGridGeom Source
Geometry change messages understood by Grid and SplitGrid
Grid layout. The parameter is the desired x:y aspect ratio of windows
TallGrid layout. Parameters are
- number of master rows - number of master columns - portion of screen used for master grid - x:y aspect ratio of slave windows - increment for resize messages
This exists mostly because it was introduced in an earlier version. It's a fairly thin wrapper around SplitGrid L.
SplitGrid layout. Parameters are
- side where the master is - number of master rows - number of master columns - portion of screen used for master grid - x:y aspect ratio of slave windows - increment for resize messages
data Orientation Source
Type to specify the side of the screen that holds the master area of a SplitGrid.

Chicago 13, Detroit 7: This unnecessarily vicious hit notwithstanding, the Lions got steamrolled by the Bears, to the extent that a team can get steamrolled in a 13-7 game. It was one of those "defensive battles," I suppose.
Jay Cutler completed half of his passes, and Mathew Stafford was a shade better, but most of his yardage came in garbage time. Cutler's only touchdown was a seven yard toss to Brandon Marshall.
The game all but ended on a Stafford interception on the Chicago five yard line—one of three Detroit turnovers in the red zone—just north of the two-minute warning. It cut short a 12-play, 90-yard drive that ate up almost four minutes of clock. The Lions did get the ball back, with no timeouts, and were able to avoid the shutout with a meaningless touchdown for everyone but rookie Ryan Broyles—it was his first career touchdown. Detroit tried an onside kick but Chicago recovered. The Bears are now 5-1 and the Lions are 2-4.

Publisher Larry Tobin's column in the Feb. 5, 2008 issue:
I find this puzzling. If it's immoral to vote against someone simply because they are a woman or non-caucasian, where in the bible of political correctness does it make it okay to vote for someone for those very same reasons?
Can you imagine the uproar it would have caused in this year's elections if Condoleeza Rice had run for president on the Republican ticket? Having served the country at an executive level of foreign relations, she's eminently more qualified for the White House than either of the Democrats' gender- or ethnic-based candidates.
Personally, I'm more than just a little bit tired of the presidential candidates pandering to the far left and far right extreme elements of their respective parties. I've got news for those pols. The majority of the American people don't fall into either category and neither, generally, does sound judgment or good government. We're supposed to have representative government where the majority rules. When we get a president out of the left-wing or right-wing elements, the majority is not represented at all.
. . .
Now for the scariest thought brought to my attention in a long time. Suppose Hillary gets the Democratic Party nomination for president and chooses Bill as her running mate. And they win!
Hillary is sworn in as president on Jan. 20, 2009. The next day she calls a press conference and announces her resignation. That makes Bill president … again! And it's all perfectly legal under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, since it states that "no person may be elected as president more than twice." Bill is not elected, but merely serving out all four years of Hillary's term.
But there is more! The following day, Bill calls a press conference and names Hillary to fill the now vacant office of vice president. And she'd still be eligible to run for the presidency again! I was told she could do it twice, but I think only once since she would actually have been elected to the office once, even though she didn't serve.
. . .
Here's another one of those "you know it had to happen sometime" issues:
Wisconsin's eternally inept Department of Natural Resources is apparently going to admit, at last, that there are cougars in the state. That's because, according to a recent article in Milwaukee's major daily newspaper, a "veteran" hunter and trapper saw one in Rock County, down near the Illinois border.
I guess the teachers, loggers, businessmen, and others who've been seeing cougars in northern Wisconsin for years, simply aren't "veteran" hunters enough. I'd venture that some of the folks I know personally who have seen cougars spend more time in the real outdoors than most of the office-based wildlife experts in Madison who are making the ridiculous rules and decisions.
If you look at a lot of the DNR decisions coming out of Madison, you almost have to conclude that those folks think everything north of Highway 64 is in Michigan!
I'm also beginning to draw the conclusion that the upper echelon staffing of natural resources type agencies is the product of genetic manipulation. Think about it. They all think alike, whether it's Wisconsin's DNR, the U.S. Forest Service in the Rocky Mountain states, or, in an interesting case I just learned of, the management of national wildlife areas.
Get this. The Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Area in Mississippi has multiple reserves in the state. Each has a director. The Yazoo Wildlife Area where I hunted recently has a new director and offices and housing are provided at the area's headquarters. The new director is pushing to have all the offices consolidated and moved to Yazoo City, about 60 miles away, because he doesn't want to live in such a remote area. Greenville, population 45,000, is the closest city of consequence to the Yazoo Wildlife area and it's at least 20 miles away.
Now, one might be inclined to think that someone in charge of a wildlife area might want to be close enough to the premises to know what's going on there. Apparently that's not the case with such wildlife bigwigs. It's too inconvenient for them to live outside a city. It's not too inconvenient, however, for the unlucky saps who want to hunt those areas to have to drive 60 miles or so out of their way in order to get the permits necessary.
Oh, and as a sidebar, when you buy those $12 permits, you have to get a money order. They won't accept cash, checks, or credit cards.

Curettage and cautery
Curettage and cautery (one type of electrosurgery) is a procedure in which your dermatologist scrapes off a skin lesion and applies heat to the skin surface.
What is involved in curettage and cautery of a skin lesion?
Your dermatologist will explain to you why your skin lesion needs treatment and the procedure involved. You may have to sign a consent form to indicate that you consent to the surgical procedure. Tell your dermatologist if you are taking any medication, you have any allergies or medical conditions.
The dermatologist will inject some local anaesthetic into the area surrounding the lesion to be treated. This will make the skin go numb so no pain should be felt during the procedure. You may feel a pushing sensation but this should not be painful. The skin lesion is scraped off with a curette, which is like a small spoon with very sharp edges.
The lesion should be sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis. The wound surface is then cauterised with a hot wire beaded tip or electrosurgical unit (diathermy). This stops bleeding and helps destroys any remaining skin tumour cells.
This procedure is usually repeated twice. A dressing may be applied and instructions should be given on how to care for your wound.
What types of skin lesions can be treated by curettage?
Curettage is suitable to treat lesions where the material being scraped off is softer than the surrounding skin or when there is a natural cleavage plain between the lesion and the surrounding normal tissue. The following can often be treated by curettage:
- Seborrheic keratoses
- Viral warts
- Bowens disease (in situ squamous cell carcinoma)
- Pyogenic granuloma
- Actinic keratoses
- Basal cell carcinomas
- Keratoacanthoma
- Skin tags
Basal cell carcinomas that are large, deep or recurrent are usually not suitable for curettage. Lesions where the edges are not easily defined are also generally unsuitable.
Will I have a scar?
You will always have some sort of scar. It is impossible to cut or curette the skin without scarring in some way. Your dermatologist will treat the lesion to keep scarring to a minimum.
The scars from curettage are usually flat and round. They are a similar size to that of the original skin lesion. Some people have an abnormal response to skin healing and these people may get larger scars than usual (keloids and hypertrophic scarring).
How do I look after the wound following skin curettage?
Your wound may be tender 1-2 hours after the curettage when the local anaesthetic wears off.
- Leave the dressing in place for 24 hours or as advised by your dermatologist. Avoid strenuous exertion and stretching of the area.
- If there is any bleeding, press on the wound firmly with a folded towel without looking at it for 20 minutes. If it is still bleeding after this time, seek medical attention.
Keep the wound dry for 48 hours. You can then gently wash and dry the wound. If the wound becomes red or very painful, consult your doctor. There are no stitches to remove after curettage.
The wound from curettage will take approximately 2-3 weeks to heal over. The scar will initially be red and raised but usually reduces in colour and size over several months.

I love this book because it has you sitting on the edge of your seat, hanging on for dear life. For example, Grimspette puts a spinning wheel hex on Snakeweed that makes him fall asleep for one hundred years. It leaves you wondering if that is truly the end of Snakeweed.
The marvelous journey you take in every chapter promises to be very exciting. The most exciting chapter is the chapter when all of the good characters are going after Snakeweed. You are very nervous about what will happen to Snakeweed's hostage. Friendship is also a big part of this story, because Felix must trust Ironclaw in order to solve the riddle and receive the cure. Elizabeth Kay did not let her readers down.
I recommend this book to students who love fantasy books. Kids who have read The Divide will surely want to conintue the adventures with Felix.

A second unnamed prisoner only known as 'Prisoner X' is being held under top-secret conditions in Israel's Ayalon prison, AFP and Haaretz is reporting.
According to court documents, the mysterious inmate is being held under similar conditions, but for more severe crimes than Ben Zygier — the alleged Mossad agent and Australian national dubbed 'Prisoner X', who committed suicide in the prison in December 2010.
His death — and the attempt to suppress news of it — created a huge stir in Israeli intelligence circles.
On an Israeli radio show Tuesday, attorney Avigdor Feldman, who was the last person to see Zygier alive, revealed the existence of the second prisoner.
According to Feldman, "this affair points to far more severe failures than the ones committed by the defense establishment in Zygier's case. Regarding Zygier's case, the authorities that recruited him didn't understand who they were dealing with and weren't aware of his conduct. Okay - that's a failure. Prisoner X number two is an entirely different story - a horrible security breach. When I heard the story, as an Israeli citizen I was shocked, and the subject was completely silenced by lawyers who enjoy close ties with the establishment. Whoever opens this affair will be doing the country a great service."
Earlier Tuesday, Feldman compared the two cases on Army Radio: "One: they're both Israelis. Two: They worked for a security agency of the highest level of secrecy. Three — and this is important — their activity points to a security failure that allowed the crime to be committed, secrets to be kept, or other deeds to be done," Feldman said on "Boker Tov Yisrael" (Good morning Israel).
The second prisoner is referred to in documents only as "the other inmate of Block 13."
Exactly why both prisoners were incarcerated is not known, although Warren Reed, a former intelligence operative for Australia's overseas spy agency ASIS, told ABC that Zygier's alleged crime "would have to be involved with espionage, treachery - very, very sensitive information that known to others would pose an immediate threat to Israel as a nation state."

Topic: Star Wars: Celebration V
Well, I don't know if anyone here has heard or not, but C5 is coming to my neck of the woods at the Orange County Convention Center, located in Orlando, FL August 2010. It's supposed to be bigger than C4, so we'll see. Details in the link below.
For anyone going, tickets go on sale December 10th.

The exhibition features approximately 60 ensembles including movie costumes, avant-garde haute couture, and high-performance sportswear to reveal how the superhero serves as the ultimate metaphor for fashion and its ability to empower and transform the human body.
Designers in the exhibition include Atair, Giorgio Armani, Balenciaga, Pierre Cardin, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, Eiko Ishioka, Alexander McQueen, Julien Macdonald, Moschino, Thierry Mugler, Nike, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, Speedo, Spyder, As Four, Walter van Beirendonck, Versace, and Bernhard Willhelm.
Objects are organized thematically around specific superheroes, whose movie costumes and superpowers are catalysts for discussion of key concepts of superheroism and their expression in fashion. Superman and Spider-Man costumes address the subject of The Graphic Body, relating Superman's 'S' chevron to designer logos and branding.
The Flash � a character who possesses superhuman speed - addresses the Aerodynamic Body as manifest in high-tech sportswear including Speedo's "Fastskin LZR Racer" designed by Rei Kawakubo for Michael Phelps and the 2008 United States Olympic swim team, Nike's "Swift Suit" for running, and Descente's "Muscle Suit" for speed skating. Batman and Iron Man represent The Armored Body, and examine avant-garde fashion that merges flesh and metal, skin and chromium. The Mutant Body, denoted by the X-Men, highlights clothing that morphs men into beasts. Ghost Rider (the biker-demon with flaming skull) and The Punisher (the vigilante who sports a giant death-skull emblem on his T-shirt) symbolize The Postmodern Body that suggests an anti-hero identity through the eclectic mixing of street styles.

This page looks at the steps it takes to embed a Plasma shell inside of your application as a dashboard or summary page.
The core of the dashboard's logic is in a KPart in kdebase-runtime called plasma-kpart. This KPart is loaded like any other ReadOnly KPart:
// this routine will find and load our Part. it finds the Part by // name which is a bad idea usually.. but it's alright in this // case since our Part is made for this Shell KService::Ptr service = KService::serviceByDesktopPath( "plasma-kpart.desktop" ); if (service) { // now that the Part is loaded, we cast it to a Part to get // our hands on it m_part = service->createInstance<KParts::ReadOnlyPart>(0, args); if (m_part) { // tell the KParts::MainWindow that this is indeed the main widget // If you have something better to do with the widget, this is where // you would do it. setCentralWidget(m_part->widget()); // and integrate the part's GUI with the shell's createGUI(m_part); } else { // For whatever reason the part didn't load KMessageBox::error(this, i18n("Could not instantiate our Part!")); qApp->quit(); } } else { // if we couldn't find our Part, we exit since the Shell by // itself can't do anything useful KMessageBox::error(this, i18n("Could not find our Part!")); qApp->quit(); // we return here, cause qApp->quit() only means "exit the // next time we enter the event loop... return; }
There are two ways to approach writing applets, and some thought should go into this before writing your applets.
The first is to use the standard method of writing Plasma applets, and provide a DataEngine which your applets can use to communicate with your application, either via DBus (allowing you to use the applets on the desktop and in other shells) or intra-process signal/slots using a DataEngine provided by the PluginLoader infrastructure.
The second method is to wrap QWidgets inside of a Plasma::Applet using a QGraphicsProxyWidget. This is most useful if your application has an existing dashboard which is not based on Plasma. These widgets would be created within your application, and loaded using the PluginLoader infrastructure.
New in KDE Development Platform 4.6 is a class called Plasma::PluginLoader, a class which contains, unsurprisingly, most of Plasma's plugin loading logic. Plasma::Applet, Plasma::DataEngine, Plasma::Service, and Plasma::AbstractRunner all ask Plasma::PluginLoader to provide these plugins for them, and Plasma::PluginLoader can be subclassed for use by your application. Plasma::PluginLoader itself is a class with a mix of normal methods, static methods and protected virtual methods:
The long and short of this is that application developers can inject their own Applets, DataEngines, Services and other Plasma objects into a Plasma shell and allow them to do things which plugins loaded through KDE's Plugin system could not do. Users of Plasma::PluginLoader also get many things for free, such as the easy loading and saving of applets, which would have to be done manually if an application chose to only use Plasma::Containment::addApplet().
All that a developer needs to do is to subclass Plasma::PluginLoader and implement the internalAdd* methods which they want to provide plugins for.
See kdeexamples/plasma/c++/kpart for an example of these communication methods.

Some of you may know I like to collect signature items cachers leave behind in caches, and I also like to leave my own (The Photo Marbles and CDs shown on My Geocaching Pages). I'd really like to see more cachers have sig items, especially the home made ones - it's a step above normal trade items!
Anyway, this post has a dual purpose. First off, If anyone would like to display/brag/tell about their sig items here, it would be great, I know I am still missing many.
Secondly, I am wondering who is placing the "Pocket Fishing Kits". I have seen several in Southern Maine, but can't seem to tell from the logs who is placing them. I picked the one shown below, the others I saw were in travel soap caches. looking at the logs, they placed more than one in some caches. All in all, a neat idea, but too bad the placer doesn't mark his name somewhere on the item!

We're adding a new feature to World of Warcraft that will replace the in-game support system with a direct portal to the Battle.net Support site. Our aim is to give players in-game easy access to the site's robust knowledge base and support contact system.
We've gone to great lengths to improve our website support systems and we want to offer access to all of its robust features in-game. The new direct support site access will make it easier to find information to help you resolve issues you're experiencing or contact our representatives if you need a little extra help.
We will test this new feature in the 5.3 public test realm (PTR), and we'd like your assistance. Adding support site access in-game is a new venture for us, and we need you to test it by searching through the support knowledge base and pages to make sure that it holds up in various hardware and network situations. It's important to note that while we will be testing the functionality of this feature within the PTR, we are unable to process support ticket submissions.
To help test and provide feedback, copy your character and download the PTR client.
We'd appreciate your feedback and testing reports to be put into the below forum thread so we can collect and respond to any errors or issues you're seeing.

The PFT Live week wraps up with the Week 16 picks, but before we get there we'll have a chat with Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News about the Jets.
There's no shortage of things to talk about regarding the Jets as they start trying to figure out who will be their quarterback in 2013 and beyond, so we'll find out from Mehta what directions the team might be trying to go. We'll also try to talk about some of the other big decisions the team has to make about their front office and coaching staff after a year that's going to end short of the playoffs for the second straight year.
Then it is on to the picks, where Florio is already starting to take a victory lap in his yearlong battle with MDS. MDS will be on the show to let us know why he thinks Florio's guilty of premature exclamation on that front.
You can watch it all live at noon ET.

"Glee" creator Ryan Murphy confronted Cory Monteith about his sobriety just weeks before he was found dead in a Canadian hotel room.
The 31-year-old actor died after taking a lethal combination of heroin and alcohol, just three months after he completed a stint in rehab.
Murphy has now revealed he was instrumental in persuading the star to stop work on the show and address his problems in a clinic. He tells Deadline.com, "As soon as I heard what was happening, when we had two episodes left to go, I brought him to my office where we had the intervention. He said he wanted to finish the rest of the season, and I said absolutely not. We were not going to put a stupid TV show before his sobriety. I assured him he was not fired, that his job was secure, that he would leave today. He went with a whimper and not a bang and it was very emotional… We had experts in the room and tried to let him know this was a disease. It was a tough and very emotional day and the last thing he said before he left was, 'I want to get better.' And I believed him."
Murphy insists he was satisfied Monteith was making good progress until several weeks ago when the actor and his girlfriend Lea Michele came to visit while he was working on a TV movie in Fire Island, N.Y., and the director asked him whether he was having problems again.
He adds, "The last couple of months, all indications were that he'd gone through the steps, he went to one place where it didn't work and then he went to another, but there was still a lot of concern. A couple of weeks ago, he and Lea came to Fire Island where we were shooting 'The Normal Heart,' and I honestly couldn't tell what was going on with him. He didn't seem quite himself, but when I confronted him he claimed he was clean."
Murphy goes on to praise Michele for her bravery as she dealt with her devastating loss: "It has been a very difficult rollercoaster ride, and all through that, and through the last week, Lea has been the most brave and courageous person I've ever met. She has dealt with an impossible situation with more humanity than you could ever hope for."
Murphy has also detailed how he plans to address Monteith's loss in the new series of Glee, revealing two Beatles-themed episodes will be filmed next month, and they will also record a tribute show for his character, Finn Hudson, before taking a hiatus.
He tells E! News, "We will begin shooting in late August the two shows we had already written, so that people can physically go back to work. We will then do an episode that will deal with the death of Finn's character and follow that with a long hiatus. I don't know exactly when we will come back, and we are trying our best with this attempt at damage control. We are planning a memorial for the cast and crew sometime this week on the Paramount lot."
Murphy also reveals he had to consider axing the show in the aftermath of the tragedy, but came up with a new plan after discussing the matter with Monteith's co-star and real life girlfriend Lea Michele.
He adds that the storyline will be the most difficult he has ever written: "Lea blessed every decision. I told her even I don't know what to do. I don't know how to write about the death of someone I love."

Actor Christian Slater is planning a summer wedding to fiancée Brittany Lopez.
The actor announced his engagement during an appearance on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" at the end of February, and it appears Lopez doesn't have long to wait to become Mrs. Slater as the couple is planning an intimate backyard ceremony in July.
He tells People.com, "It will be good, intimate and small and family members. It will be nice. … We had a big engagement party on the 31st of December and it was nice, it was like a New Year's and we had all the family come, 200 people, so it kind of already feels like we did the wedding, so we are just going to do a nice backyard situation."
Slater was previously married to actress Ryan Haddon. The couple divorced in 2006.

String video ties up web of life
Posted on 21 February 2011
What better way to illustrate the complex web of life than with a tangled ball of string? The partners in WWF-Mexico's We are all Connected video tied tying the knots to linking their message of interconnectedness with the idealism of the classic John Lennon melody Imagine.Mexico City, Mexico: What better way to illustrate the complex web of life than with a tangled ball of string?
The partners in WWF-Mexico's We are all Connected video went beyond tying the knots to choosing the music - and what better than the classic John Lennon melody Imagine.
WWF-Mexico, in company with Ogilvy & Mather Mexico and the French production company Troublemakers, released the video as part of celebration of the international conservation organisation's 50th year - and to mark WWF-Mexico's own 20th anniversary.
"Our existence, as well as the development of the world's economies, depends on the ecosystems' health. Food and energy supply, community's security, everything depends on healthy rivers, oceans, forests and jungles as well as on their biodiversity," said Omar Vidal, Head of WWF-Mexico.
According to the members of the creative team, José Montalvo, Miguel Ruiz, Víctor Alvarado and Fernando Carrera "the video seeks to display the beautiful fragility with which the world turns into a complex system that we are all part of."
All regions in the world are important. The Amazon Rainforest regulates the world's climate; it is estimated that it stores between 90 and 140 million tons of carbon. The oceans' level highly depends on the seasonal cycle from the ice caps in Greenland. The oceanic currents enable the displacement of ships and facilitate the migration of different sea creatures around the globe. The oceanic current in the Gulf of Mexico makes northeast Europe a milder zone than other areas located on the same latitude.
Taking a delicious red snapper dish, a notable feast that can be enjoyed in restaurants in La Paz, Mexico. Behind the dish there's a whole story about a complex natural process.
The San Pedro-Mezquital basin runs through the states of Durango, Nayarit and Zacatecas in Mexico. This basin transports an immense amount of nutrients and sediments from Chihuahuan Desert to the river's estuary.
These nutrients are then, by the oceanic currents, to the Gulf of California. In the Gulf of California, the nutrients are mixed with the sediment that comes from the Colorado River's vast torrent. These mixed nutrients and sediment feed micro-algae and zooplankton. Micro-algae and zooplankton, in turn, feed thousands of sardines. Sardines then feed red snappers. Everything is connected.
Not only is the San Pedro-Mezquital basin an example of interconnectedness, it is also something of a model solution.
The integration of forest conservation in the upper part of the Mezquital area, coastal development and the conservation of its mangrove area (one of the largest in Mexico) make it a model to follow. Once again, this highlights that everything matters because in nature everything is intrinsically linked.
