Though Vikings running back Adrian Peterson (groin) was limited in practice on Friday, it appears he'll be ready to play in Sunday's game at Baltimore.
While the Vikings have ruled out quarterback Christian Ponder (concussion), tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and cornerback Josh Robinson (chest), coach Leslie Frazier expressed hope that the club's other injured players would be available.
"We should have everybody else," Frazier said Friday.
Frazier indicated Peterson's injury will be something the star tailback will be dealing with throughout the final weeks of the season, and the club will adjust accordingly.
"We'll have to manage it throughout the rest of the reminder of the regular season," Frazier said.
Peterson, 28, leads the NFL with 1,208 rushing yards.
In addition to Peterson, linebacker Larry Dean (knee) and safety Jamarca Sanford (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday. Dean was limited on Friday, while Sanford fully practiced.
Seven Vikings players are listed probable, including defensive end Jared Allen (finger). All seven probable players went through full practices on Friday.

Manager reveals 'good news' about injured Schumacher
Formula 1 News - January, 2014
Jan.1 (GMM) Michael Schumacher is now in a "stable" condition, his manager Sabine Kehm told reporters outside the hospital in Grenoble on Wednesday."The good news for today is there's no significant changes," she said on the first day of 2014.However, Kehm warned that seven time world champion Schumacher, who turns 45 on Friday, remains in a "critical" condition."Michael is monitored all the time but his condition was stable all night," she is quoted by Bild newspaper.As for whether the great German's life remains in danger, Kehm answered: "I'd rather not comment."She did deny reports the former Ferrari and Mercedes driver had fallen from his skis last Sunday because he was going too fast."Michael was not going very fast," Kehm insisted. "But unfortunately as he took the turn, we assume, he hit the rock and was catapulted upwards and then struck a rock head-first."It also emerges that the Grenoble university hospital is considering banning journalists who are covering the Schumacher story, after a series of incidents.The worst involved a journalist disguising himself as a priest and trying to enter Schumacher's room, where he lays in coma."I wouldn't have ever imagined something like this could happen," Kehm told the Die Welt newspaper.SID news agency quoted Kehm as saying important hospital work has been disturbed by journalists, after some of the 100 reporters on site were repeatedly blocked from entering the emergency room. comments powered by Disqus

Vermont restricting access to powerful painkillers
BARRE -- The state is restricting access to a new class of narcotic painkillers that law enforcement and public health officials across the country fear could worsen drug abuse, officials announced Thursday.
Gov. Peter Shumlin said Vermont wouldn't go as far as neighboring Massachusetts, where Gov. Deval Patrick moved to ban the drug Zohydro, the first single-ingredient hydrocodone drug approved for U.S. patients. But Shumlin did issue emergency rules making it harder for physicians to prescribe the most powerful painkillers.
The move is part of a growing chorus of concern from across the country that follows the Food and Drug Administration's approval of Zohydro in October.
The drug, which began shipping to pharmacies last month, contains more of the narcotic pain reliever than older combination pills, such as Vicodin. It belongs to a family of medicines known as opiates or opioids. Others include morphine, heroin and oxycodone, the painkiller in OxyContin.
"What we believe this rule will do is ensure that we are very, very careful about prescribing this FDA-approved opiate in Vermont with the hope that we won't repeat the mistakes that we made with OxyContin with an even more powerful form," Shumlin said at a Barre news conference alongside Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen and a number of the state's mayors.
San Diego-based Zogenix, which makes Zohydro, responded to Thursday's announcement by referring to a statement it issued last week in which it said the drug is no more potent than other hydrocodone medications. The company also said it set up a board of experts to guard against abuse of the drug and that its sales representatives are not being paid based on the volume of sales, but rather on their efforts to ensure prescribers, pharmacists and patients are educated to understand the risks and benefits of extended-release opioids.
In January, Shumlin devoted the bulk of his State of the State address to the state's "full blown heroin crisis." Law enforcement and public health officials say many turned to heroin after becoming addicted to prescription painkillers. The speech helped ignite a nationwide focus on the abuse of heroin and prescription drugs.
Last week, Patrick declared a public health emergency in Massachusetts in response to what he called the state's growing epidemic of heroin overdoses and opioid addiction. He also moved to ban the prescription and dispensing of Zohydro.
Shumlin said he didn't want to go that far, in part to avoid what could be expensive litigation over an outright ban.
"I expect that Massachusetts is likely to confront that and we really wanted to get something done quickly," Shumlin said.
Vermont's emergency rules require that prescribers of Zohydro conduct a thorough medical evaluation and risk assessment.
Madeleine Mongan, of the Vermont Medical Society, which represents about two-thirds of the state's physicians, said it supported the emergency rule.
Also Thursday, Shumlin released a letter to the Canadian ambassador in Washington urging that country to require drug companies to make prescription painkillers harder to abuse. Some painkillers produced in Canada, unlike their U.S. counterparts, are easily crushable, making them easier to abuse.
An official for Health Canada referred to a 2012 statement that announced tougher licensing of those painkillers.

Is there a correct order for food consumption to help with digestion?
Q. When eating fruit is it better to eat it before you eat your meals because of digestion issues? I was told to eat my fruit before consuming the other foods because the fruit being eaten after would sit on top of the food waiting to be digested.
A. There is no correct order in which food should be consumed. When foods are eaten during the same meal, they are all mixed together in the stomach. Remember to include high fiber foods in your meals. Fiber rich foods such as fruits and vegetables can fill up with fewer calories which may be favorable for weight control.

It's easy to get burnt out on the endless parade of superheroes marching across the summer cinema screens. The loud pyrotechnics and large-scale destruction make it difficult to care about the central characters. Whether it's Superman, Iron Man, Spider-Man or G.I. Joe, they all fight and prevail through the same category of explosive special effects seen in movie after movie.
But wait! Hugh Jackman's current incarnation of "The Wolverine" actually brings the genre to a more cerebral level. The Marvel Comics entry takes a sophisticated Oriental turn in this installment. Most of the action takes place in the ninja heartland of Japan. Some interesting World War II historical background is thrown in for good measure.
Rila Fukushima and Tao Okamoto are the Japanese babes who play major roles in the complex plot. Industrial barons and yakuza thugs are the enemies threatening our hero. There's lots of combat to satisfy younger adventure fans. But there's also intelligent quiet time to allow for thoughtful character development that will appeal to older folks.
'Fruitvale' a story of the times
"Fruitvale Station" is a powerfully affecting film about the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who was shot in the back by transit police while lying face-down on a train platform.
First-time director Ryan Coogler begins this riveting film with actual cell phone footage of the very public incident early New Year's Day in 2009, then takes us back through the last 24 hours of Oscar's life.
Oscar was flawed, complex and had done jail time. He'd sold pot and had a quick temper. But he also had a good heart and, like so many, hoped to make a better life for himself and his little girl until fate stepped in.
In his first starring role, Michael B. Jordan gives a beautiful performance as Oscar. (You may recognize him from HBO's "The Wire.") Melonie Diaz is also fine as his girlfriend Sophina.
Oscar-winning actress Octavia Spencer lends heartbreak as Oscar's mother. Through her eyes, you feel the gut-wrenching anguish of a parent whose child is a victim of sudden violence. Her hospital scenes pack a huge emotional wallop.
The timing of "Fruitvale's" release could not be more topical in light of the recent Trayvon Martin murder trial. Without making any political statements, this film reminds us that whatever caused that officer to fire his gun that fateful night, there was still a human life lost.
A real-life man's life was cut short. He was somebody's son, father, grandson, brother, lover, friend. It's a rare film that has an audience sharing in their sorrow.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Mario Suarez replaces Xabi Alonso in Spain squad
Atletico Madrid's Mario Suarez has been called into the Spain squad for Wednesday's friendly against Uruguay in Qatar.
Last Updated: 03/02/13 3:32pm
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has called up defensive midfielder Suarez after Xabi Alonso pulled out with a groin injury.
Real Madrid midfielder Alonso was hurt in Saturday night's 1-0 loss to Granada. He will be examined by the RFEF medical team to assess the extent of the injury but Del Bosque has wasted little time in replacing him in the squad.
A statement on the RFEF website confirmed that the uncapped Suarez, a 25-year-old former youth international, has earned his first call up.
The world and European champions will take on Uruguay in Doha.

A Quà‡bec story had been in the works around here for nearly four years running. Groundwork had been laid, but nothing was happening-I'd stalled out. Ironically, photog Dano Pendygrasse (the ultimate homebody) would be the catalyst for this adventure. Soon after his last-minute phone call to the TransWorld office seeking a writer to accompany him to Quà‡bec, I was hastily booking a ticket to meet him and cinematographer Travis Robb in Montreal. Sometimes the pieces just fall together like that.
J-F Pelchat, DCP, Gaetan Chanut, Alex Auchu, Benji Ritchie … I love the French Canadians. They're some of my favorite people-blunt, honest, enthusiastic, and proud. For me, this trip wasn't just about riding-it was an opportunity to better understand the tribe.
Quà‡bec City
Nothing can prepare you for the charm of Quà‡bec City-no other North American city is so stunning, foreign, and steeped in history. Waking in the sharp cold of the almost 400-year-old municipality, you could imagine yourself transported into old-world France were it not for all the modern-day vehicles pounding ancient streets. Full of archaic churches; narrow, winding cobblestone streets; and intimate cafes, Quà‡bec City is densely packed and stacked with architecture from eras past: slope-roofed lime-and-sandstone two-story homes from the late 1600s, shadowed by dramatic castle-like Fairmont Le ChÉteau Frontenac, or the art deco styling of the Hotel Clarendon. Over ten architectural styles from the eighteenth century to today color the canvas of this European-style city.
Quebecois have been fighting to preserve their culture for generations (which might shed some perspective on French-Canadian riders' national pride). Founded by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1608, Quà‡bec City remained under French rule for nearly 150 years until finally falling to the British. Sixteen years later, American troops mounted a failed attack. Eventually, the province was divided into Upper and Lower Canada, with Quà‡bec City as the capital of Lower Canada. In 1867, Quà‡bec City became the capital of the province of Quà‡bec.
Through all this change, residents of Canada's oldest city have steadfastly refused to embrace any culture besides their own. Quà‡bec City is about roots-progressive minds may be better suited to the metropolitan vibe and sophistication found in Montreal.
There are problems with seeing the world through the eyes of a snowboarder. Racking up a rà‡sumà‡ of worldwide travel sounds impressive-but pros rarely get to observe much of anything. The view is limited to airports and what they can gather through fogged windows in transit to ski resorts. Then it's all snowcapped mountains and cheesy discotheques. There was no mountain resort this time-we felt lucky to be playing the tourist. Dano and Travis strolled about town shooting film, pausing just long enough for coffee at a patisserie. We met up with Benji Ritchie and Reno Belisle for long breakfast lectures about the area's history. It was mellow and refreshing. Our daily routine consisted of sight-seeing and processing our surroundings during the daytime and hitting street rails and ledges under the cover of night.
Quà‡bec City native Etienne Gilbert led our crew through freezing evening missions around town-highlighting the doable, near-makeable, and impossible rails of the city. Pedestrians and police paid no mind as we painstakingly set up generators and lights, sessioning a concrete ledge late into the night. There was plenty of time to learn and listen. An observation: The East is painfully chilly. These are harsh, bone-chilling conditions.
The French-Canadian snowboarder pilgrimage to Whistler is nearly identical to U.S. East Coasters' Mammoth migration-both head west in search of powder and recognition. A Vancouver kid's casual jaunt up the Sea To Sky Highway takes a couple hours-the road to Whistler from Quà‡bec is a terrible, long one. Fifty hours of seat time-let thhat sink in for a minute. It's well over 3,000 miles from Montreal to British Columbia.
In addition to geographic challenges, French-Canadian riders face marketing prejudice for their European last names-and yet they succeed in spite of their handicaps. You'll never hear of an overhyped Quebecois. These guys don't get any handouts-they burn to earn.
The Empire Shakedown
Leaving the quiet charm of Quà‡bec City, we prepared for a drastic change of pace. En route to Mont Saint-Sauvier we braced for the frenzy known as the Shakedown. The beauty of Eastern Canada's biggest snowboard event is its unique format. The run is composed of a single kicker followed by a monster rail setup with multiple options for launching an attack. Each rider is required to call out their judged run within a jam format, as in, "I'll do a Cab seven tail, then a frontside boardslide on the center rail-judge this run." Also, competitors can't perform the same trick combination used in qualifying for the finals (the loophole is that a different grab counts as a different maneuver). The unorthodox approach puts a severe kink in the stock contest-run mentality-it's a lot of fun.
Snowboard groupies congregate from all over Eastern Canada. Packs of teenage girls arrive in droves from nearby Montreal and as far away as Calgary and Toronto, crying, "Where's TJ? TJ Schneider!" as a fistfight of epic proportion breaks out among spectators over a free snowboard. It's a homecoming for the boys who've moved to Whistler. For up-and-coming local talent, it's a rare chance to shine.
In a performance that could only have been scripted-but wasn't-my boys landed in first place and second place. Etienne Gilbert pulled off his first-ever frontside 1080 attempt, then called out his judged run and stomped it clean, backing it up with the only front boardslide performed through the entire kinked center rail. Benji Ritchie earned second place with a fluid Cab seven into front-board-to-backlip combo on the curved box. Schneider maintained his hype with huge diagonal gap-to-frontside-180 tail taps and unreal gap-to-front-270 attempts. It was the most fun I've ever had at a contest. It was a party-French-Canadian style.

Places to Buy Halloween Costumes in Flint and Genesee County for 2013
There are lots of places to buy Halloween costumes this year in the Flint area (especially in Burton), so we've listed where in Genesee County you can find a costume for 2013.
Party CityFlint / Flint Township
Party City always has a solid selection of costumes, especially if you're just looking for something straight out of the package. They also have a decent selection of accessories.
*G-3549 Miller Road / Flint Township (click here for directions)
*3837 Lapeer Road / Flint (click here for directions)
Spirit HalloweenBurton / Flint Township
Spirit Halloween will again be located next door to Guitar Center, but this year they added a new Burton location next to VG's and across from Courtland Center. Their selection is pretty good for more conventional costumes, but a bit pricier than online.
*Miller Road / Flint Township (click here for directions)
*Court Street / Burton (click here for directions)
Halloween CityBurton
Located in the old Pier 1 Imports for the past several years, Halloween City has always offered a great selection of costumes and accessories. If you can't find it here or Spirit... you probably aren't going to find it in Genesee County.
*1245 S. Center Rd / Burton (click here for directions)
Halloween ConnectionBurton
Pool supply store by summer, haunted attraction/costume store by fall. Halloween Connection (aka Chemco) has gathered a vast selection of costumes and accessories over the years. You may find some interesting throwback costumes you won't be able to find elsewhere, in addition to the more standard stuff. They also carry an interesting selection of accessories.
*4247 S. Dort Hwy. / Burton (click here for directions)
Dollar & PartyBurton - Courtland Center
The pickings are slim, but you may get lucky if you're in search of a standard cheap costume for your kids.
*190 E Court St / Burton (click here for directions)
WalmartBurton / Grand Blanc / Everywhere
If your kids want to be something incredibly popular (like Iron Man) you may want to hit up your local Wally World first. It will probably save you a few bucks.
*You know they are
Thrift Stores
If you're like me, you like to go DIY with your Halloween costume. Thrift stores are a great place to find clothes or things to modify for a more in-depth costume... they're cheaper too!
Good Locations:
*Volunteers of America / Burton (click here for directions)
*Salvation Army / Flint (click here for directions)
Jo-Ann FabricsBurton / Flint Township
I pay a visit to this place once a year to get items and material for fabricating my costume. It may be worth looking up coupons ahead of time, as they could save you some big bucks. There are a few craft store options in the Linden/Miller Road area too. Depending on what you're looking for, one of the others may be cheaper. Shopping around never hurts.
*4190 East Court Street #101 / Burton (click here for directions)
*Miller Road / Flint Township (click here for directions)

Husband and wife to co-anchor CBC Calgary news
Rosa Marchitelli and husband Rob Brown set to become one of the few if not only husband-and-wife teams to co-anchor a newscast in Canada
It's not as if the conversations between journalists Rosa Marchitelli and husband Rob Brown weren't already heavily weighted toward shop talk.
But now, the couple will have even more to discuss as they take over the anchor chairs for CBC Calgary, becoming what is surely one of the few if not only husband-and-wife teams to co-anchor a newscast in Canada. Until now, the two operated largely as competitors — she worked for CBC in Vancouver, while he was with CTV British Columbia. They will take over the anchor desk on Sept. 9 as the permanent replacements for Nirmala Naidoo, who left CBC Calgary in February.
"We are news nerds," says Marchitelli, on the line from Vancouver. "We drive our kids crazy with the news talk in our house. We're very like-minded in terms of our interests."
The new post will be a homecoming for Marchitelli, who was born and raised in Calgary. She met Brown, a Vancouver native, in 2000 when they both worked at an Edmonton TV station. She was the consumer affairs reporter and he worked the night shift.
They now have three young sons, an eight-year-old and six-year-old twins.
"The big discussion, of course, is the 24/7 nature of it," Marchitelli says. "Ten years, three kids later, that was a big part of the discussion. How do you navigate stuff like that, your personal life and your professional life, the togetherness of it. It is unchartered territory."
Both Marchitelli and Brown have anchor experience at the respective stations, with Marchitelli hosting CBC News Vancouver at Six and Brown co-anchoring CTV News at Five for CTV British Columbia. Brown was also the Vancouver bureau chief of CTV National News.
First and foremost, I don't think I'll ever consider myself an anchor. I'm a reporter.
"In the private sector, there are still some of those who are still host personalities rather than journalists," Brown says about the anchor job. "But I couldn't do it any other way. First and foremost, I don't think I'll ever consider myself an anchor. I'm a reporter. I was thrust into it straight out of (journalism) school, that was the goal."
Recently Brown received international attention for his on-the-scene coverage of the 2011 Stanley Cup riots in Vancouver, which led to him being named to Sportsillustrated.com's Media Power list.
So while there is a certain novelty to the husband-wife co-anchors, Brown says they are coming to the roles as journalists first.
"First and foremost our role is to present the news and not to come across as some hokey, look-at-us couple," Brown says. "We are not interested in that. The CBC is not interested in that. They made it clear they were interested, first and foremost, to what we bring to the table journalistically."
Since February, CBC News Calgary at 5, 5:30 and 6 has been hosted by reporter Carla Beynon, with Warren Dean on weather. On Sept. 9, CBC Calgary will get a new set and weather person to go along with the co-hosts.
And how do Marchitelli and Brown plan to address any professional disagreements that will inevitably pop up at the job?
"We're not the kind of couple that has really vocal fights," Marchitelli says. "Just like we would discuss things at home, we plan to discuss things in the workplace. Different issues of course. We're talking about news content and delivery versus what school to send our kids to… I don't see the mode of communication being any different for us than it is now."

A Huge Mistake
Has there ever been a creation of Carlise's that decided to go there own way. Yes there has. Her Name is Daisy Roberts. She didn't leave because she thought carlisle's way of life was odd, but for a whole different reason. 'I was walking along a street that seemed way too dangerous to walk on. Especially if you had a lot of money in your pocket. But it was the quickest way home.' Banner by me!
Tell me how you like the story. Sometimes these type of storys just come out of me.
1. Chapter 1-New Life
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1084 Review this Chapter
I had lost track of time. I always get caught up in my work. I work at the Artistic Institute of Michigan. I taught everything. Singing, Composition, Dance, Art, and Drama.
I was teaching a star student. Edward Cullen. He usually takes the night courses. He wanted my reference on a piano piece he just composed. If I say so myself he's a very talented person. Not to mention that he;s also very attractive.
Just then I heard gun firings coming from a small store. I ran over to see if anyone was hurt.
When I walked into the store I saw a man lying lifeless on the ground. Then I looked around. The shelves were toppled over. Glass broken.
It all happened so fast I looked up and saw a man holding a gun. Then he pulled the trigger. I felt a sharp pain in my torso. I screamed out in pain, then lost consciousness.
I then heard the door open. A person gasped.
"Carlisle! Get in here quick!" That voice sounded oddly familiar. Somewhat like the student I was teaching just before all this happened.
"Oh my." This voice was different. It didn't sound familiar at all.
"Edward, get my bag."
I heard the door close then open again in a few seconds.
"There's no hope for the man. He's already dead. But this girl has a chance. We'll have to change her though. She's lost too much blood. But the venom will work." Venom, Change her what did he mean?
I felt the sharp pain in my torso but also there was an even sharper pain coming from my neck that made the gun shot feel like a paper cut. I screamed out in pain again and again for what seemed forever.
I'm so sorry the unfamiliar voice spoke over and over again.
I felt like I was on fire. I wish they would just kill me or put the fire out I would settle for either.
The pain began to slowly fade. My heart rate accelerated to about 10 times the usual rate. That can't be a good sign.
My heart stopped all together and so did all the pain. I must be dead.
"Carlisle what's wrong with her. Her heart stopped she's done with the transformation. Why isn't she opening her eyes?" Transformation, what in hell did he mean?
"If you can hear me nod." The man named Carlisle said. I did as he said I nodded.
"Could you open your eyes?" I opened my eyes I found myself on a large bed. Where was I.
"Where am I?" My voice sounded beautiful. And yet different.
"Your in Pontiac, Michigan. At me and my family's house." Pontiac that's about a 45 minute drive from Detroit. I looked down at myself. My skin was much whiter than I was used to.
I was about to ask why my skin was so white and why my voice sounded different.
"Allow me to explain. I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, this is Edward Cullen my son," He gestured towards a boy with beautiful bronze hair. "this is my daughter Rosalie Cullen," He gestured towards a blond that looked like she could be a model. I nodded. "and this is my wife Esme Cullen."
"You see Daisy were not human."
"What are you then?" I said my voice still sounded absolutely beautiful.
"Daisy, were vampires. And so are you." I was confused. I am human.
"Not anymore." Edward muttered. What was he talking about. Esme glared at Edward.
"When you got shot at that convent store you basically had no hope of living. Until me Edward showed up. We saved you and brought you to this house."
"How did you save me?" I asked.
"You see vampires have venom. The venom isn't used for killing but more of a parelizer. I found of a way to use it for saving peoples lives that otherwise would have had no hope."
"I had no hope of living so you saved me." I stated.
"And now you have special ability's that you didn't have when you were human."I have special ability's now? Edward nodded.
"Like how you can run faster than any other living being, or that you now have extreme strength. Some of our kind have extra ability's."
"Do any of you have extra ability?" Edward smiled.
"Yes, Edward can read minds." That explains so much. He looked like he was trying to hold back laughter.
"You also seem very attractive to the mortal." Rosalie added.
"Of course there are rules that you have to follow."
"Like" I prodded
"Well there's basically only one. Keeping the secret." That doesn't seem too hard.
"You must be thirsty." Esme said. I hadn't noticed it until now that I had a burning feeling in my throught. I nodded.
"Let's go hunt then." Rosalie said. They all walked out the door. Hunt. Hunt what? And were are they going? Edward stopped and waited for me.
"You have a lot of questions don't you?"
"Yes." He must have been reading my mind
"Yes I was."
"Would you stop that it's getting on my nerves."
"Wish I could. Do you want me to answer your questions?"
"We're hunting animals. We consider ourselves as vegetarians. We're heading towards the woods. Where there's woods there's animals. We don't hunt humans. Otherwise you wouldn't be here now. The sun doesn't hurt us. It is the reason why we can't go out side during the day. you'll see what it does soon enough. There is that all your questions?"
"Yes. Thank you."
When me and Edward got outside everyone else had there eyes closed and there noses in the air.
"Just do what there doing and your instincts will take over" I did as Edward said. I heard foot steps some were nearby. Before I knew it I was running.
In just a few minutes I saw a heard of white tailed deer. They scattered and I ran and pounced a large buck. He struggled. I sunk my teeth into his neck. The blood tasted so great. Edward got a slightly smaller one. I looked at my shirt it was covered in blood. When he was done he had not gotten one drop on his shirt.
"Your a natural." I looked at my shirt.
"You'll get better" He promised. I think I'll learn to like Edward.

It was two years ago, almost to the day, that Warren Buffett said on CNBC he would buy up, "a couple hundred thousand" single family homes if it were practical to do so. Some claim that opened the floodgates to investors in the single-family rental trade.
Buffett, however, was just reacting to a trend already underway, and a new asset class that had formed. Firms like Colony Capital, Waypoint and Silver Bay Realty Trust were just a few big names buying thousands of properties and turning them into rentals.
Between 2011 and 2013, institutional investors, defined as those who purchased at least 10 properties in a calendar year, accounted for 3.87 percent of all home sales across 1,264 counties, according to a new study by RealtyTrac. Those counties were selected because rental data was available and allowed RealtyTrac to create a so-called "heat map" to show institutional investors' impact in those counties. The average home price appreciation in those counties was 14 percent and the increase in rents on three-bedroom homes was 7 percent.

In its new ad campaign, Genworth Financial is spotlighting the lives of 6 centenarians. According to the WSJ, this is a bold move. Conventional wisdom among marketing types is that Baby Boomers are turned off by reminders that they are getting old. I rather like it -- beats the alternative.
One good thing about old folks is that they have more history that can be checked out. Here's what the records show for the new advertising models.
Helen Green
One of ten children, Helen was born March 2, 1902 in King Co., Washington to Joseph Burcham, a farmer, and his wife Rosa Householder. Helen's twin sister Hazel died in 2001 at 99. Helen has been a widow for thirty years and is an avid genealogist. [1910 census]
Edward Rondthaler
Edward, who just celebrated his 101st birthday a few days ago, is the son of Howard Rondthaler, a Moravian bishop and president of Salem College in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and his wife Katherine Boring, the daughter of a Philadelphia pharmacist. Edward married Dorothy Reid in 1930; she died in 2002. [1910 census]
Leonard Ross
Around the time "Rosie" was 11 or 12, his family moved from Wakita, Oklahoma -- where he was born in 1905 -- to Barber Co., Kansas where his father continued to farm. By 1930, his parents had moved to Colorado and bought a hotel though Leonard no longer lived at home. By the time he enlisted in the army during WW II, Leonard was living in Arizona, where he still resides. [1910 census]
Clayton Scott
"Scotty," who will turn 101 next month, was born in Potter Co., Pennsylvania to an English stone mason. In 1920, his father was a jewelry store clerk still in Potter Co., but by 1930, he was working as a grocer in Portland, Oregon. This account differs slightly from the story told on the Boeing Frontiers Web site which says that Clayton moved with his family from Pennsylvania to Portland in 1911. In any case, Clayton was listed as an airplane pilot in Seattle, Boeing's home, in the 1930 census. [1920 census]
Frank Shearer
A retired doctor, Frank's wife, Bernice Deer Shearer, died in 1996 on her 92nd birthday. He was born in 1905, most likely in Saskatchewan, Canada. The first Canadian census he'll appear on is 1911, which will be released to the public in 2011 at which time Frank will be 106.
Roberta Smith
Is Roberta the Rovertia/Roverta Stoker who is 1 year, 1 month old in April, 1910 and living just outside Henderson, Texas? If so, her date of marriage is incorrect in this article; Roverta is still living at home in 1930. But the article has her husband's year of death wrong. Social Security records indicate he died in 1984, not 1980. More differences: The article states that 6 family members died in 1921. But Roverta's immediate family appears pretty healthy and intact in 1930. One last bit of confusion: Public record databases, not totally reliable, indicate that Roberta Smith of Indio, California was born March 13, 1909. If so, she would not be a centenarian for another couple of years. Check out the ad when it airs and see for yourself if she doesn't look a day over 97. [1930 census]

If anyone thought you may have done a typo error in regards to the birth year of Helen Green, I can personally attest that yes, you read and calculated that correctly. She is 104 years of age! I know first-hand as she is my Great Aunt! When it comes to working a computer she can also run circles around some people! ;-)

Obama names 'cops' for finance
President Barack Obama is taking an aggressive posture toward Wall Street as he kicks off his second term and is showing little interest in compromising with Republicans over a central part of his signature financial reform law — the new consumer watchdog agency.
On Thursday, Obama announced his intent to nominate former federal prosecutor Mary Jo White as the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission and said he will renominate Richard Cordray to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Story Continued Below
In nominating White, who made her name taking on terrorists and mob bosses, the president sent a signal to both his liberal base and the business community that cracking down on Wall Street will be a priority for his second term.
In renominating Cordray, the president showed he welcomes a fight with Senate Republicans over their stance that no one will be confirmed to lead the consumer watchdog unless changes are made that give Congress more power over how it operates.
"It's not enough to change the law," Obama said at a White House event Thursday, referring to the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform law. "We also need cops on the beat to enforce the law."
The administration has come under criticism from reform advocates and some liberals for being too timid in going after bad actors from the 2008 financial crisis.
But even some of the administration's staunchest critics over how it has policed Wall Street cheered the pick of White.
"We welcome the nomination of a white-collar crime fighter to an agency whose leaders too often considered the SEC to be the Wall Street chamber of commerce," Public Citizen financial policy advocate Bartlett Naylor said in a statement. "Ideally, she'll embrace her mandate to protect investors. If she can face down terrorists and racketeers, presumably she won't be intimidated by cost-benefit analysis litigation."
White's honeymoon with Wall Street critics could be short-lived if the agency — which pursues civil, not criminal cases — doesn't show early on in her tenure that it will go after financial firms and executives for misdeeds.
Critics, in particular, have questioned why more hasn't been done about bankers who helped enable the subprime housing crisis by packaging faulty loans into securities sold to investors.
Industry officials publicly praised White for her experience and reputation for fairness but are privately taking a wait-and-see approach.
"Just based on her background, which is all we have to go on now, you would expect her to focus on her sweet spot of enforcement, and for the SEC, that probably means more insider-trading cases," said a financial services lobbyist. "But who knows, maybe she'll come in energized and pick a high-profile case or two to focus on."
A confirmation of White would also keep a woman as head of a top financial regulator at a time when the administration is facing questions about the diversity of the president's latest round of nominees for administration jobs.

Lighting of Falls Rescheduled Due to Rescue Effort
SIOUX FALLS - The annual lighting of The Falls green to mark St. Patrick's Day in Sioux Falls has been rescheduled in light of a search effort for a man who is presumed dead after drowning.
Amy Smolik with the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce says sponsors have decided not to light The Falls Friday or Saturday out of respect for an ongoing search for 28-year-old Lyle Francis Eagletail. Eagletail and 16-year-old Madison Leigh Wallace jumped into the Big Sioux River on Thursday to save Wallace's 6-year-old brother.
The brother later emerged, but Eagletail and Wallace didn't. Wallace's body was located Friday afternoon, while rescuers are still searching for Eagletail.
Smolik says organizers plan to light The Falls green Sunday evening. There will be no program marking the lighting.

Lower beginning stocks reflect increased export and crush projections for 2011/12. Soybean exports for 2011/12 are raised 20 million bushels to 1.335 billion bushels reflecting increased global import demand, led mainly by higher projected imports for China. Soybean crush is raised 15 million bushels mostly due to stronger domestic soybean meal use. Soybean ending stocks for 2011/12 are projected at 175 million bushels, down 35 million. With reduced supplies for 2012/13, soybean exports are projected at 1.485 billion bushels, down 20 million. Soybean crush is also projected lower due to reduced domestic soybean meal use. Ending stocks for 2012/13 are projected at 140 million bushels, down 5 million from last month. Soybean, meal, and oil price projections for 2012/13 are unchanged this month. The U.S. season average soybean price is projected at $12.00 to $14.00 per bushel. Soybean meal and oil prices are projected at $335 to $365 per ton and 52.5 to 56.5 cents per pound, respectively. Global oilseed production for 2012/13 is projected at 470.8 million tons, down 0.7 million from last month, mainly due to lower soybean and cottonseed production. China's soybean production is reduced 0.5 million tons due to lower area as producers shift planting decisions toward corn. Brazil's cottonseed production is also reduced due to lower area planted to cotton as world prices have declined in recent weeks. Other changes include reduced rapeseed production for EU-27, increased rapeseed production for Russia, increased sunflowerseed production for EU-27, and reduced cottonseed production for Australia and Egypt. Brazil's 2011/12 soybean production is increased 0.5 million tons to 65.5 million while Argentina soybean production is reduced 1 million tons to 41.5 million. .....................

One of my colleagues and I were talking about emerging threats. He mentioned checking the SANS Internet Storm Center ( http://isc.sans.org/diary.php ) a couple of times a day for security news updates and threats coming in and up. There is even an entry today about emerging threats (woo - scary as we had been talking about that), here is the information they posted there:
The above is speculation at this point, (in Homer's voice "Or is it?"), based or not on facts or history. I was curious if the SANS ISC is THE source for frequently updated security news and threats, or is there another good source or two, or three? I was thinking of a couple:Emerging Threats
As many of you know, worms, viruses, web defacements and even botnets are what we might call "last century" threats. What are we going to be facing in the coming years? The SANS ISC is interested in your ideas, so if you have time today drop us a brief note with your thoughts. Please don't send us a book, just a few lines will do. We'll include the best ones in the diary today.
Here's a few that have arrived:
David says, "Instead of hijacking a system to use the disk space and setup detectable FTP servers, [attackers] may end up harvesting all of the documents from the system in hopes of gaining financial or personal information for identity theft."
John suggests, "As direct electronic invoicing becomes more popular, criminals will try to leverage poor implementations of Web Services to submit fraudulent invoices for payment. Agencies that have done away with support staff necessary for manual invoice processing will pay dearly."
Greg offers, "With the developing trends in botnets and denial of service with them, I'm willing to bet that we'll see more frequent use of ddos for hire and malware distribution by zombie pcs. It also would be a shock to see an adaptive botnet..that can change and adapt to discovery on the fly..shutting down discovered nodes and such."
Steve tells us, "I believe that the real threat that's only beginning to surface is internet extortion. What means by which it will happen is hard to say, but it's an increasing threat. I think we're on the brink of seeing widespread extortion happening where files will be "kidnapped", and a ransom note will be left in their places for the user to follow if they want their precious files back." (note from the HOD - this is already happening!)
Tom thinks that these are possible emerging threats: "VoIP hacks (with social engineering and Caller ID spoofing people will give up a lot of data), Hacker "Mafias" (not just small scale people writing viruses because they can - distributed networks of hackers organizing criminal actions like stealing credit information, etc.), attacks on mobile devices (security just really is not a concern for many mobile companies)."
Alex scares us with, "My thought is that we'll see new types of Malware that are able to correlate personal data about a selected individual that it promiscuously finds on the web. The implications of this ranging from the obvious identity theft to much more sophisticated phishing scams and even password comprimise by building very specific custom dictionaries for attack. A 50k+ botnet is great for DDoS, but it has other uses for its massive computing power and connectivity; namely a huge web spidering and correlational tool for this type of attack."
Damian believes that, "one of the emerging trends could be cryptovirology. I believe it could have a huge impact if a nasty crypto worm is developed and it could exploit some new vulnerabilities. In fact I try not to think about it very often ... otherwise I couldn't sleep."
CE's crystal ball says, "Two things come to mind regarding emerging threats: 1) Infection, or at least increased attempts at infecting, of popular sites (like the recent MSN News Korea story) will increase due to the lure of large amounts of victims who trust well-known sites. 2) False information that is presented in ways that a majority of readers, and possibly many experts, wouldn't doubt. This can be used for fraud, social engineering, etc. It will move beyond phishing email and stock scams into possibly more mainstream mediums."
Gary says he is "concerned at the potential for targeted malware. Whereas today's viruses and worms are fairly indiscriminate, I forsee the emergence of malware that specifically targets a given individual, organization or some other distinctive target."
Christian muses that, "one threat will remain for ever .. that's osi layer 8. There will always be suboptimally trained users, administrators, coders or manager that copy /etc/shadow to webserver root." (note from the HOD - I like to call this the "carbon layer" of the OSI model.)
Matt predicts three major trends in the coming year: "The death spiral of signature-based virus detection ... a major increase in wireless network attacks, particularly man-in-the-middle spoofing/theft ... [and] a concentrated, coordinated effort to improve public understanding of basic security issues by both private and government agencies."
Eric is concerned about "completely 'blended' and adaptive threats funded by money that is coerced/stolen electronically. Threats that morph from one form to another depending on how a system is setup to counteract attacks is a real possibilitiy. With more 'holes' being discovered I think it is wise to believe that the development of adaptive threats with blended capabilities is going to be a huge problem."
Chip has a fatalistic outlook, telling us that, "Aside from 'individual' system administrator and 'real' security consultants, I see no cluefulness at all in the IT world, nor in oversight agencies, none." He goes on to say that, "the folks who have been wishing for a really stable platform such as BSD to host malicious applications on, have been handed a goldmine in the form of the new MacIntel platform."
Phil predicts "a worm that actually exploits a vulnerability for which we haven't had a patch for months or even years. It's been a while..."
Well, this is interesting. Most of today's submissions have been oriented on technologies. This afternoon we've seen quite a shift in the thinking of the evil minds. Here's what the mailbag brought us...
An anonymous person looked into the future connected world and prognosticated, "what about crackers breaking into an automated household and manipulating all sorts of automated devices, like the fridge, locks, dishwashers, coffemakers and so on ... another one could be break-ins to car computers to ground you or worse cause an accident on purpose ... and still another one could be (or maybe already is...) hijacking devices (such as sealing harddisks with passwords and then ask for money to reopen the disk) - you could do this with all sorts of networked equipment ... a completely different approach is identity manipulation: changing information on the web about other people to create a wrong impression about them...."
AJ steps up the heat with, "I think that the next attack could be a mobile virus that spreads between smart mobile phones. At a designated time the payload could have all the mobile phones dial a specified number DDOSing the cellular network and the target phone network."
Jim was thinking out of the box when he wrote, "Funny you haven't mentioned terrorism yet. Why blow up a building when you can destroy a nation's economy?"
Not to be outdone, Rick fired away with, "Nations or groups dedicated to the downfall of any given government could be compiling botnet lists and lists of the most effective malware for a coordinated distributed attack to undermine and collapse economic stability, maybe as part of other physical attacks."
Wayne believes that, "the newer threat will be online extortion. Download a malware, encrypt your important info, and ask for money.."
Mike was maintaining a positive outlook when he wrote, "For years, organizations have been spending a lot of money on poorly-implemented or half-baked security solutions so they can check a box on an audit finding. At the same time, auditors have been providing findings of such poor quality that the information is nearly useless to their customers. I believe some of the recent high-profile identity theft cases will bring this to light, and hopefully improve auditing practices and force the hand of large organizations to *properly* implement security technologies."
Mark is convinced that, "a cyberattack on our electronic infrastructure is in the cards." He thinks it could happen by creating a "Coordinated attack on a predetermined time and date launched from many platforms, including zombified PCs, social engineering attacks, and insiders that were 'planted' for D-Day; [or] Indirect attack from the EMP blast from a nuclear warhead on a missile. Could be launched from offshore somewhere, or even from inside the US, with the materials having been smuggled in and assembled on location; [or] Create a crisis of such proportions (some kind of attack) that the much-increased use of the electronic infrastructure because of everyone trying to contact family, friends, etc., crashes everything." (wow, Mark, you should be a screen writer!)

Miami Dolphins Monday notebook: Offseason program begins on April 10
To all of our new readers today — welcome! Seems like we have a lot of new visitors this week, and you guys appear to be hungry — starving, even — for Dolphins news.
To satisfy your craving, here are four additional Dolphins notes for today:
1. The 2012 season officially begins on April 10 (kinda).
The games won't be played for another five months, obviously. But the Dolphins will officially return to the field for the first time in 2012 on April 10 for the start of the offseason program, which will last through mid-to-late June.
The Dolphins won't be strapping on the pads or even doing much X's and O's work with their coaches. But most of the players will be back in Davie for the next few months, working out and building camaraderie together for four or five days a week under the watchful eye of the team's training staff.
Technically, the Dolphins and the five other teams with a new head coach could begin the offseason program today, a week before the rest of the league, but the Dolphins opted to start next week at the normal time.
A team spokesman said the rest of the offseason schedule has not been finalized yet, but the Dolphins will hold 11 Organized Team Activities (essentially non-contact practices), a mandatory three-day mini-camp and a mandatory rookie mini-camp between now and the end of June. We do know that the Dolphins will hold their Fins Weekend — the annual golf and fishing tournaments — on the weekend of May 19.
While the offseason program was reduced in the new collective bargaining agreement — cut back by five weeks, with OTAs reduced from 14 to 10 — the six teams with a new head coach are allowed an extra OTA workout this summer, which the Dolphins might squeeze in before the draft is held on April 26-28.
And this summer's offseason program won't be easy. Linebacker Karlos Dansby admitted last season that he came to training camp 26 pounds overweight following that summer's NFL lockout, in which the players weren't allowed to have any contact with the team's training staff. The Dolphins say they won't allow that to happen again.
"I don't think our players were in tremendous shape coming out of the lockout, and I think we've got to do a better job this year, and we'll make sure that that happens," GM Jeff Ireland said at the Senior Bowl.
2. Dolphins draft parties and Fin Fest.
The Dolphins will host three simultaneous draft parties on Thursday, April 26 at 7 p.m.: At Sun Life Stadium, Duffy's in North Palm Beach and Bokamper's Sports Bar & Grill in Naples. Admission and parking are free. Fans can eat food, watch the draft, get autographs from cheerleaders and alumni and buy season tickets.
And on Saturday, April 28 the team will hold the first ever Fin Fest at Sun Life Stadium. Admission and parking are free, and doors open at noon for season-ticket holders and 1 p.m. for general public. Meet current players and alumni, vote for the 2012 cheerleaders during the final auditions, tour the locker rooms, run around on the field and shop at the Dolphins Equipment Room garage sale (authentic uniforms, helmets and other sideline apparel), with proceeds benefitting the Miami Dolphins Foundation.
3. And with the 8th pick in the 2012 draft, the Dolphins select….
Nope, not going to tell you who I picked for the Dolphins in NFL.com's video mock draft. You'll have to CLICK THIS LINK to check it out.
Three things to know:
1. Ryan Tannehill was available when it got to the 8th pick.
2. South Carolina's Melvin Ingram, the guy I really want, was gone.
3. No making fun of my squinting. It was really bright out that day.
Also, in the coming days, look for the Post to release its 2012 first-round Mock Draft.
4. Reggie Bush trains really hard.
Or so say the people at Equinox, a fitness club that happens to be owned by Stephen Ross. Here's a new commercial featuring Bush working out at Sun Life Stadium. Where'd all that sand come from?

Below is a function from Tim Hastings (http://www.nonhostile.com/). This is a post from his blog. At the bottom of his code you can see he demonstrates his function with some html fed into the function.
I would like to know how you could use a function similar to this but instead of some html passed into the function...be able to pass the function a file or a group of files. How would you pass this function a file name or group of file names?
I'm thinking something like this...
Of course, this doesn't work. I think it has to do with the byVal reference in the function but I'm not sure and don't know what it should be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.Code:Dim HTMLFile As String HTMLFile = Dir("C:\TEMP\" & "*.html") HTMLClean (HTMLFile)

Letter to the College Community
Dear Faculty, Staff, Students and Administrators,
The College's commitment to establishing a diverse community with people "from all backgrounds" includes religious differences. The Student Handbook includes a "Policy on Observance of Religious Holidays" that says the following: "Amherst College respects the rights of all members of the community to observe religious holidays. It is expected that everyone will cooperate in making this right a real one. Students and faculty, in particular, should seek ways of achieving this goal, while at the same time minimizing interruptions of the academic work of the College." Major religious holidays for various traditions during the 2018/2019 academic year are indicated for each month.
Our hope is that having these dates will help you to anticipate when some students may have special needs with regard to examination, presentations, and assignments.
If you have any questions, please contact the appropriate advisor. The entire religious and spiritual life staff can be found at the Religious & Spiritual Life staff web site. For the sake of brevity, the holidays listed are those that we know represent our community.
We wish you the best as the new semester begins.
Click on a holiday for a detailed description.
For a more exhaustive listing and explanation go to The Interfaith Observer.

The January/February 2012 issue of Imbibe Magazine features an article titled "Wake up and smell the coffee cocktails. Brave New Buzz". This article discusses the growing relationship that exists between coffee and spirits. Coffee and spirits have their own unique properties, however when crafted carefully these two ingredients can come together to "make for an awesome combination." It is interesting how the article notes that "the border dividing bartenders from baristas' is growing increasingly vague" as more establishments are experimenting and combining the two elements for some innovative coffee cocktails.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- A consortium of international and national oil companies may seek to tap into the Canadian arctic by the middle of next year, a provincial leader said.
Northwest Territories Industry Minister Dave Ramsay told the Platts news service during an energy conference in New Orleans that a partnership between Canada's Imperial Oil, BP and Exxon Mobil could seek approval from the government to start work in the Beaufort Sea by mid-2013.
"(They are) anxious to move forward and are looking at the Beaufort as an opportunity," he was quoted as saying.
Imperial Oil spokesman Pius Rolheiser told Platts it was too soon to spell out a drilling forecast, however. Imperial said the area may hold as much as 90 billion barrels of recoverable oil.
The majors there would target primarily oil reserves that could be delivered to the southern Canadian and U.S. markets, said Ramsay. An Enbridge pipeline in the region is operating at about 25 percent of its designed 40,000 barrel-per-day capacity.
Ramsay said there were additional plans to increase the pipeline networks in the region for oil and natural gas.
The U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration states that Canada has the third-largest amount of oil reserves in the world behind Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. About 98 percent of Canadian reserves exist as oil sands, which the EIA said accounts for 170 billion barrels worth of oil.

The procurement of technology – including hardware, software, network equipment, memory, and switches – is an ongoing process for IT support departments of all sizes. iCorps' outsourced procurement services enable you to leverage our technical product knowledge and extensive buying power for your business-class technology investments, resulting in a smoother IT purchasing process and assuring that the solution secured is the right one for your business.
Typically, a company's purchasing process is an ad-hoc practice, which leads to a lack of uniformity, standards, and reduced cost-effectiveness. Having a dedicated IT consulting procurement team is unusual for a company of our size, but there are significant gains achieved through the consistency – and these benefits are passed along to you:
There is direct communication between our technical consultants and our procurement consulting team members – who also hold broad technical, product, and business knowledge. In addition to established order processes, the consultant clearly articulates the technology specs upfront to the procurement professional, and describes how the purchase will be used in your environment. This communication – and the agent's reciprocal knowledge – act as a double-check to eliminate error and verify that the technology you are ordering is exactly the technology you need before the order is placed.
For larger businesses, the management of licenses, warrantees, and subscriptions can become a full-time and frustrating "second" job for someone on your busy IT support staff. But when you partner with iCorps on your technology purchase, our iCorps procurement consulting services team takes on the burden of this management, ensuring that these requirements are met consistently – saving you time, money, and disruptions to your business.

SCU Awarded Fulbright Top Producer Status for Fourth Consecutive Year!
The Office of Fellowships at Santa Clara was established in 2005 to provide the central management and administrative responsibility for advising students about a wide variety of highly competitive external fellowships, scholarships, awards, and prizes requiring University nomination, endorsement, or review. The Office of Fellowships mentors and advises students about their academic, service, and volunteer work in pursuit of the more than 25 named fellowships for which Santa Clara students are eligible (Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Madison, Truman, and Jack Kent Cooke, for example) as well as provides direct support for potential candidates in the application process.
The Office of Fellowships responds to two principles of Jesuit education. The first, cura personalis, personal care, reflects a deep respect for the individual and that person's potential. The second, magis, "striving for the more," calls on students to do their very best and always to strive for personal excellence. The Office of Fellowships will help intellectually gifted Santa Clara students to develop and to utilize their talents so that they have more to give to others.
As a member of the Santa Clara University community, you know that Jesuit education strives to create "men and women for others," and, in its combination of the intellectual and affective aspects of an education, it aims to educate the "whole" person. As President Paul Locatelli has written, "A Santa Clara education retains the orientation of an ethical education found in the Renaissance humanist schools with a religious orientation instilled by the early Jesuits, as well as in 19th century American colleges. At the same time, it strives for the intellectual rigor, critical thinking, and scholarly and professional excellence represented in the American research university, because academic excellence in research and teaching are critical to solving the complex problems this world faces," (Santa Clara Magazine, Winter, 2003). As our current president, Michael Engh, S.J., emphasizes, and the University Honors Program particularly supports, "Like universities everywhere, we hone further in students their skills in critical thinking and analysis. We encourage their joy of exploring theories and testing ideas. We challenge further their abilities to produce works of art, music, theater, and poetry. We do so in order that students can fully engage their talents in 'building the universe.'"
The Office of Fellowships will help intellectually gifted Santa Clara students to develop and to utilize their talents so that they have more to give to others. If you commit yourself to these three goals--excellence in service, in academic and extracurricular life--you may well become an outstanding candidate for one of the many fellowship opportunities that exist at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Burnt Sienna is a warm, mid-brown color formed by burning the yellow-brown limonite clay called Raw Sienna. It ranges from semi-opaque to semi-transparent due to the combination of its opaque, red-brown mass tone and its transparent, orangey undertone. It is an excellent mixing complement for blues and greens and creates salmon or peach colored tints when mixed with white. It can be useful for subduing bright colors and does not get chalky in dark mixtures.
Burnt Sienna has good permanence and is considered one of the most versatile of the permanent pigments.
Burnt Sienna has no significant hazards.
Burnt Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, but its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.

Prussian Blue is a semi-transparent, deep cyan-blue with a greenish undertone and a very high tinting strength unequaled by most pigments. It is similar to Phthalo Blue unless mixed with white, when it gives up intensity and becomes smoky. It can behave erratically and less reliably in oil and watercolor form depending on its manufacture. For permanent painting Phthalo Blue is considered a more reliable choice.
Prussian Blue is lightfast and permanent in all techniques except for fresco. When mixed with Zinc White in watercolor or tempera form, it fades upon exposure to light and completely regains its chromatic strength in the dark. Modern manufacturing techniques have made this tendency less of an issue in recent years
Prussian Blue is moderately toxic if ingested. It will emit toxic hydrogen cyanide gas if heated, exposed to ultraviolet radiation, or treated with acid.
"The first of the modern pigments," Prussian Blue is the first artificial pigment with a known history. It was discovered by accident in 1704 by the Berlin color maker Heinrich Diesbach, who was trying to create a pigment with a red hue by mixing iron sulfate and potash. The potash Diesbach purchased from a local laboratory had been contaminated by animal oil and blood during previous experimentation. The resulting mixture yielded a very pale red that changed to purple and then deep blue when he tried to concentrate it. Since previous blue pigments came from lapis lazuli, an expensive stone, Diesbach's discovery was extremely important for artists of the time.
Berlin Blue, Bronze Blue, Iron Blue, Paris Blue, Paste Blue. Celestial Blue, Monthier Blue and Soluble Blue are varieties of Prussian Blue. Blue Lake is a reduced or let-down variety of Prussian Blue. Chinese Blue, Milori Blue, and Steel Blue are the three highest grades of Prussian Blue.

Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.
