After Anderson Silva's gruesome injury at UFC 168, many wonder if "The Spider" will ever fight again.
Among them is boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. The forty-four year old has expressed an interest in boxing Silva for quite some time now. Considering the seriousness of Silva's injury last night though, it's not likely the Brazilian star will be fighting anyone anytime soon, if he ever returns at all.
Recent reports have indicated that Jones has now set his sights elsewhere.
After the main event of UFC 168, Jones spoke to Ariel Helwani and said if Silva is going to be sidelined with an injury for a long time, he would like to fight Nick Diaz. Helwani talked about his conversation with the famous boxer on Fox Sports.
"If I can't box him (Anderson Silva), I want to box Nick Diaz," Helwani said Jones told him.
Diaz has called Jones out in the past before, but Stockton's finest has been retired since March earlier this year. After dropping a unanimous decision to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 158, Diaz officially announced his retirement from the sport. Since then, he seems to be enjoying his life as a retired fighter.
Commentator Chael Sonnen immediately dismissed the idea of a Diaz vs. Jones boxing match.
"I am going to decline this topic because the level of ridiculousness and probability of it every happening inside of our octagon in a sanctioned event which is where we fight is zero!," the outspoken Sonnen said. "They're not going to box in an octagon; this isn't happening."
Sonnen does make a good point. Diaz quit professional fighting earlier this year and it's very doubtful that UFC President Dana White would be interested in setting up a boxing match between the two. The chances of that happening are slim to none.

Not to beat a dead horse, but carbon dioxide emissions are venting into the atmosphere at extremely unprecedented rates. Now, a new study published in Nature Geoscience puts the current rate of greenhouse gas emissions into some of the starkest terms yet.
About 56 million years ago—10 millions years after dinosaurs went extinct—a massive amount of carbon was released into the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise 5° Celsius. Scientists have started focusing on this era, known as the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM), as a way of gauging how 21st century carbon emissions might impact life on Earth. What the researchers have determined in their new study is highly disconcerting: That the epic carbon venting 56 million years ago may have been around 10 times slower than today's rate.
To put this in perspective, in 2014 annual carbon emissions reached a new record of about 37 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. During the PETM, researchers estimate that the sustained carbon dioxide release had to be less than four billion metric tons per year.
This has created what Richard Zeebe, professor at the University of Hawai'i-Mānoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology and lead author of the study, called a "no-analogue" state.
"Because our carbon release rate is unprecedented over such a long time period in Earth's history, it also means that we have effectively entered a 'no-analogue' state," he said in a statement. "This represents a big challenge for projecting future climate changes because we have no good comparison from the past."
According to the authors, this is especially worrisome from an adaptation perspective, as plants and animals require extended time periods to effectively adapt to new and unfamiliar conditions.
"Ecosystems need time to adjust," said Zeebe. "We're doing it faster and most likely the consequences are going to be more severe."
"Everyone is focused on what happens by 2100. But that's only two generations from today. It's like: If the world ends in 2100 we're probably OK!" said Zeebe. "But it's very clear that over a longer timescale there will be much bigger changes."
The researchers were able to determine Earth's climate millions of years ago by examining deep sea sediments and their chemical and biological markers, in this case using a 24-centimeter piece of sediment from a borehole in New Jersey. The sample, which included sands, clays, and silts from an ancient offshore sea, is believed to represent the PETM era. In order to get the data they needed, the researchers developed a new method that allowed them to calculate how fast carbon was being released and how fast the Earth's surface warmed over a period of at least 4,000 years.
Dr. Andy Ridgwell, a professor in the department of earth sciences at the University of California, Riverside and author on the study, told me that the study is a reminder that we still have about another 0.8° Celsius "programmed" into the climate system because the ocean takes so much longer to warm up than the land and atmosphere. He said this discrepancy is the basis of their analysis and that they were "looking for a 'lag' between warming and indicators of carbon release," but since they saw no lag they "concluded that the carbon release and warming occurred much slower than it is occurring today."
The planet has already warmed about 1° Celsius since pre-industrial times.
As an article in Science Magazine about the study points out, there are still a lot of questions regarding the exact accuracy of the research and what it means for all the variables in question. Furthermore, the source of the massive carbon emissions leading to the changes remains a mystery (unlike in the present day, where humans are the obvious culprit). Potential sources include the rapid melting of permafrost, the impact from a comet, massive volcano eruptions, or, more likely than not, some combination of cascading events.
It's this notion of positive feedbacks—in which warmer temperatures create new sources of carbon that in turn create warmer temperatures—that keeps many climate change scientists up at night.
James C. Zachos, an earth and planetary sciences professor at UC-Santa Cruz and author on the study, told me that the planet will react with both physical and biological feedbacks in positive and negative ways.
"For example, disappearing ice makes the planets surface less reflective of solar energy, a positive feedback," he said. "The question is whether the positive feedbacks, which tend to amplify change, will react more quickly then the negative feedbacks, which tend to damp and ultimately reverse the change. I suspect the answer is that initially the amplifying feedbacks will react more quickly, and exasperate warming and acidification. This has has a lot to do with the rapid rate of change."

Ann Payne, chair of the League of Women Voters Toledo-Lucas County, says it's easier these days to have petitions signed by registered voters, irrespective of political leanings, concerning legislation curtailing gerrymandering.
The issue of the drawing of boundaries for US congressional districts— gerrymandering— by where districts are redrawn every 10 years by the legislature, often done to benefit the party in power, has been a major focus of the League of Women Voters (LWV) for over half a century. Currently those efforts have become more frequent in Ohio, as the LWV branches in Toledo-Lucas County, Perrysburg and Wood County are collaborating on a drive to gather signatures in support of Fair Districts = Fair Elections, which aims to put a proposal for a bipartisan redistricting commission on the November 2018 ballot.
A reason for hope
"Last time we did this, we were trying to promote an independent redistricting commission in 2012. And every time I tried to talk to somebody then, they'd look at me blankly, like 'What are you talking about?'" Payne said. "This time, that's not happening. Maybe once for every seven to eight signatures I have to explain in great detail, what gerrymandering is."
In order to place an issue on the ballot, LWV must collect signatures representing 5 percent of the voters from the last gubernatorial election in at least half of Ohio's 88 counties. As of October 13, Fair Districts has gathered over 150,000 signatures, reaching their goal in 13 counties— neither Wood nor Lucas Counties had enough signatures.
But Payne sees reasons for hope. Two years ago, a similar proposition on the ballot for a fair redistricting of state house mapmaking was approved by over 70 percent of voters.
"Two years ago, the legislature— under great duress— put on the ballot the establishment of a redistricting commission. The issue passed, establishing the commission, which is the governor, the secretary of state, the auditor, the head of the Ohio house, the head of the Ohio senate, and two additional people from the minority party, to make sure there are at least two people of the other party. They must meet with transparency. They must show their map to the public. They must take suggestions from the public. No sitting state congressperson can be on this commission."
More and more extreme
Payne sees no reason why a similar proposal aimed at US congressional districts would be any less popular on the ballot, especially in an era where many voters feel disillusioned by the election process, as representatives from increasingly "safe" districts have to resort to more incendiary rhetoric to stand out in the primaries— the only elections, Payne argues, that really matter in a gerrymandered world.
"When a district's boundaries are drawn to include a majority of voters from a particular party, then the only election that's going to have any competition is the primary. And then the candidates get more and more extreme. … It's going to create a more extreme Congress."
Local branches of the LWV have already held numerous drives for petition signatures in recent months, and they are planning for an even bigger push on Election Day. Payne said she hopes their efforts will give voters a renewed sense of involvement and importance in the operation of their government.
"So when people say to you, 'My vote doesn't count'— they're right. Your vote doesn't count in Northwest Ohio. Because the districts are gerrymandered," Payne said. "It's about fairness. It's about competition. It's about hearing all voices. It's about having your voice heard. People are disillusioned when their vote doesn't count."

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has recently released figures on migration to and from Australian cities. It shows that Sydney is losing as many as 14,900 people every year, while Melbourne and Brisbane had significant gains.
Urban Task Force CEO Chris Johnson believes Sydney's skyrocketing living costs could be behind the mass migration.
"It seems that Sydney's rising housing costs are leading to a steady flow of people out of the city," he said.
"Last financial year according to the ABS, Sydney had a nett loss through internal migration of 14,900 people while Melbourne gained 4,000 people and Brisbane gained 3,500 people."[tweet_box]"The proposed Greater Sydney Commission will need to take some accountability for minimising the flow of people out of the metropolitan area"[/tweet_box]"There is a steady stream of people leaving Sydney with most of these people going to Melbourne or Brisbane. It is important that strategic planning for population growth in NSW understands the nett flow of internal migration. The recently released data from the ABS now gives planners more accurate data on internal migration," Mr Johnson said.
Out of the total loss from Sydney, the ABS figures also include those moving interstate (6,900) as well as those only moving away from the Sydney metropolitan area (8,000).
"The proposed Greater Sydney Commission will need to take some accountability for minimising the flow of people out of the metropolitan area. The main demographic group that moves out of the city is the 25 to 35 year olds who are the very people that a dynamic city needs within its workforce," Mr Johnson said.
"The best way to reverse the outflow of people from Sydney is to increase the supply of new housing through a planning system that encourages growth."

Hidden Moving Expenses. Get Your Budget In Order
When planning out your moving budget, it is probably safe to assume that you have already accounted for the largest expenses. These may include professional movers, moving truck rentals, gas and tolls for the trip, and time off work if applicable.
Moving is a necessary process for many individuals and families, but also an expensive one. Time and again, families can get caught with unexpected moving expenses. In an effort to keep you as prepared as possible, let's take a look at five hidden expenses that you should be prepared for.
Utility Fees
Depending on where you are moving, you may be able to transfer your existing utility services over to your new home. These may include electricity, water, sewer, natural gas, oil, internet, and phone lines. However, even moving existing services can come with hidden costs. Most utilities charge a fee for transferring your service, and a fee for initiating your new service. Combine enough of the small fees together, and it is not at all unusual for your first month's utility bills to be several hundred dollars more expensive than you anticipated.
Of course, there is also the possibility that you will need to start up completely new utility services with different companies, in which case startup and contract fees may apply. Your best bet is to call each utility company and keep a list of the extra fees you can expect as you make your transition to your new home.
Storage Costs
If you are moving to a smaller home, or perhaps if you are moving out of your parents home and into your first apartment, chances are good that you may have more belongings than you have room for. A quick and easy solution to this is to use off-site storage, however it is in your best interest to research fees and look for the best deals around.
Storage fees are often charged on a monthly basis. Do not forget to take into account how long you intend to keep your items in storage, and whether the cost of storing the items will eclipse the value of those items. For instance, paying $360 a year to store a $150 set of patio furniture does not make financial sense. You may be better off having a yard sale, and re-buying those items at a later date.
Changes in Insurance Premiums
Moving to a new town usually means that there will be an adjustment in your insurance premiums, and depending on where you move, those changes can sometimes be drastic.
As an example, if you have been parking a your car in a quiet suburban driveway for three years, but suddenly have to look for street parking available in the center of the city, your insurance company is probably going to increase the premiums you are paying to match the increased likelihood of damage or theft. If you are purchasing a larger home, you can also expect increased homeowners insurance.
Replacing Old Items
Moving is a perfect opportunity to look through all of your belongings, and sort out the "keepers." You may feel less than inspired to pack up and move a 15-year-old mattress, and instead it may opt to simply have a new one delivered to your new home. Keep a running tally of the items you need to replace, and always search for the best deals.
Early Cancellation Fees on Memberships
One last note: If you belong to any gyms, health clubs, or community centers, let them know about your move as soon as possible. Many of these places charge early termination fees, some of which can be pretty substantial.
Moving always comes along with expenses, but by knowing about these expenses in advance, you can adjust your budget appropriately so that they will be less impactful.

Niche is the term used for a product or services that interest's a smaller group of people. As a freelancer, it is important to find your niche. Niche freelancers have less to no competition.
Niche is the term used for a product or services that interest's a smaller group of people. The main reason for positioning the product or services such that it is for a smaller group of people to reduce the competition.
The selection of niche for the product or services is critical and is based on the factor – Less competition with large enough market to market their product or services.
Any product in any given industry is designed with an ideal customer in mind. The segment of such customer is a niche for that product. As an example, BMW cars aren't for everyone and it for a set of customers. So BMW cars target a niche of high net-worth individuals. Similarly, Rolex watches aren't for everybody either.
Similarly, for a PHP developer, focusing only on PHP frameworks or PHP CMSes is a way to find his or her niche.
In many cases, niches may not even exist and are created by identifying requirements. Here are few examples where niche has been created.
- XenForo didn't exist a decade ago. The need for a good quality community and forum software and the dismal performance of vBulletin created a market for XenForo.
- AMP for WP plugin took the opportunity of creating a plugin even better than the official WordPress plugin for AMP and created a niche market for its developers.
- Genesis framework for WordPress created a new market for its themes. The framework helps build themes easily and yet keep the same underlying structure for the code and customization.
The list can go on and on for those who have already created the niche for their own business.
As a developer when you create a niche, you keep the competition out of the equation to provide a unique proposition for your product or services.
Take the example of an AMP for WP plugin. Most WordPress developers may be struggling to find new clients but its plugin developers will have a truckload of clients coming their way because if anyone using the plugin faces any issue, the first choice of services will be from the official developers.

Current Environmental Overall health Problems In The Philippines In Society Articles
Next week is Planet Breastfeeding Week 2016 (1-7 August) and the Public Well being Agency (PHA) is encouraging absolutely everyone to show help for mums who breastfeed in public. The universalized well being care program also portrays principles discovered within the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Indiscriminant disposal of liquid wastes pose a main pollution threat to both surface and groundwater.
This service supplied health care to individuals who lived in rural communities and did not have simple access to a hospital or overall health care facility like these in the cities.

My overall health insurance coverage costs me $93.58 per month which contains medical, dental and vision.

At the moment only 33% of workers consider themselves to have good oral wellness, and nearly a quarter are concerned about their dental health. Potassium, on the other hand, lowers blood pressure in the arteries, and reduces the health risk of hypertension.

Districts prep for special ed ruling
USD 397 meeting with Central Kansas co-op today
Staff writer
The Kansas State Board of Education is scheduled to rule on USD 398's request to leave the Marion County Special Education Cooperative April 13.
The Peabody-Burns school district must present a detailed plan to the Kansas Board of Education explaining how they would take care of their special education students — currently more than 60.
USD 398 Superintendent Rex Watson said the school district would become its own special education entity instead of joining another co-op like the Harvey or McPherson County cooperatives. USD 398 would hire its own staff and teachers. Peabody-Burns psychiatrist Katherine Young's clientele would expand to include students currently under the wing of special education.
The district could not maintain the salaries of full-time physical and occupational therapists. Watson said that the district would contract those services through the Harvey County Cooperative.
As a special education provider, USD 398 would qualify to receive state categorical aid. The state provides $23,000 per full-time special education employee — according to Watson this is down from $28,000 in 2009 — and 40 percent of that total for paraprofessionals, which is $9,200.
The district's first priority would be to hire the six interrelated teachers and the eight paras currently working in the three Peabody-Burns schools.
Steve Reiner is the special education teacher at Peabody-Burns High School and Joyce Eurit is the special education teacher for junior high students. Jane Weber, Melinda Harry, and Christine Neffert are interrelated teachers at Peabody-Burns Elementary School. Stacey Parks is the speech teacher for the three schools, and she also teaches at Goessel.
If the state allows USD 398 to leave the Marion County co-op and the co-op does not disband, these six teachers will have to choose between their current employer — which is the county co-op — and the students they work with on an everyday basis.
Watson said that if the teachers decide to stay with the Peabody-Burns school district the only part of their job that would change would be the signature on their pay check.
But, Watson added, he thinks the primary advantage to USD 398 becoming its own special education provider would be eliminating bureaucracy involved with the Marion County co-op. Watson would become the director of special education as well as performing his superintendent duties. The district chain of command — teacher, to principal, to superintendent, to board of education — would govern special education.
Watson said, at times, Peabody-Burns teachers and parents have differed in educational philosophy from the Marion County co-op.
"The co-op tries to do what's best," Watson said, "but we disagree with what action is best. It's easier to make changes; the chain of command is much shorter. If a teacher has a complaint, they can go to the principal and make that happen very quickly."
Watson said that although the co-op may end, cooperation between Marion County schools might not share the same fate.
"Superintendents and principals can easily get on the phone," Waston said. "Partnerships and sharing can happen without having to support overhead. We've partnered with Marion for years on wrestling and baseball."
USD 398 will have to provide funding support to special education staff and district administrators will take on a larger workload.
"If I can do a little more work, but save a program or save a teacher's job, that's OK," he said. "Keeping teachers employed is well worth it."
USD 397 Superintendent Jerri Kemble is meeting with the Central Kansas Cooperative in Education today at CKCIE's main office in Salina.
Kemble will present information about Centre School District to the Central Kansas Cooperative in Education. The information includes the total student population, the number of economically disadvantaged students in the district, the number of special education students in the USD 397 district, a breakdown of all of those students' specific needs, and Centre's current contribution to the Marion County Special Education Co-op. Centre currently has 52 students in special education.
Although Kemble expects that the Central Kansas Co-op is wary of enlarging — it already provides services for 12 school districts — she was told that if CKCIE would expand, they would be interested in expanding to the south.
USD 487 Herington is already in the co-op. Kemble said that the Centre and Herington school districts have already worked together. CKCIE has made it apparent that the distance between the two schools would be ideal for CKCIE occupational and physical therapists and psychiatrist.
Kemble is unsure of what may happen to students in need of more specialized training currently being transported to Marion. Those students would most likely have to be bused to one of CKCE's satellite offices, possibly Abilene.
CKCIE has also said they would attempt to hire the three special education teachers currently working for USD 397: Kim Smith at Centre Elementary School, Anne Collett at Centre Middle School, and Yvonne Burhoop at Centre High School.
Kemble said that CKCIE may negotiate down Smith's, Collett's, and Burhoop's years of experience, forcing them to take a pay cut, but their salary schedule and insurance benefits would stay the same.
Smith expressed worry about a potential change.
"My initial feeling was shock and feeling of being left out of future plans. Because we are employees of the co-op, we are not employees of the school districts we serve. This leads to us feeling disconnected to the decisions being made.
"As a teacher, I am nervous about moving to a new cooperative. I am concerned about the services the children would be offered; what my position may include that is different from what I do now.
"I have worked in more than one special education Cooperative. MCSEC has been a great place to work for the past 11 years."
Kemble has also contacted the Flint Hills Special Education Cooperative, based in Emporia, about Centre joining its cooperative.
Kemble said that she is hoping that the Marion County Special Education co-op can stay together, but she is preparing for the possibility that it could disband.
"We've gotten good services from them," she said. "I just feel I have to continue and march on and look at other alternatives."
In the event that Marion County Special Education Cooperative does collapse, USD 408 Superintendent Lee Leiker said that Marion is researching several special education solutions.
USD 411 Superintendent John Fast said that the Goesel Board of Education will talk about a possible plan for special education at their next meeting April 12.
Fast said that USD 411 first priority would be to come up with a solution to keep the Marion County Special Education Cooperative together.
"We'd like to see all of us stay together, try to work something out," he said. "Ultimately, it's what the five-member board (of special education) wants to do."
USD 410 Superintendent Steve Noble and the Hillsboro Board of Education discussed three possible options at their March 8 board meeting.
The first option would be for the five school districts — minus USD 398 — to work with the Marion Special Education Cooperative. The co-op would be forced to reduce budget and decrease costs, which Noble said would undoubtedly mean that co-op employees would be eliminated.
The second option would be a dissolution of the co-op, which would require a complete restructuring of the co-op administration.
"It would take more time than this particular year will allow," Noble said.
The third option for Hillsboro would be for USD 410 to join the McPherson County Special Education Cooperative. Noble has started preliminary talks with the McPherson co-op leadership, but Noble specified that he would only consider this option if the Marion co-op disbanded.

Time : 8 hours after minus-ing playing time, working time, slacking time, sleeping time, eating time, dessert time, talking random stuff time, blog stalking time, movie time, kacau (disturb) mom time, roll on the bed time..hmm...plucking ah pek's white hair time...*insert whatever time*
ms.Chan saw the weapons the night I got them from ms.Ng and all she said was, "hur...good luck..."
she has every right to say that cause she is the only one in the group that has experience sewing.
but still! so much for words of encouragement! T_T
but she was rightT_T
they certainly aren't innocent!!
Honestly the last time I ever sewed something was in college (I thought it was during secondary school...but surprisingly no O_O, patching up holes for my pants doesn't count la!) and I recalled how RETARDED the rabbit I sewed. *no eye see*
It was for our graduation fund raising event and I am surprised someone bought it. Thank you T_T for having retarded taste! Like me! T_T
I mean, since I sewed a retarded looking thing means I have retarded taste also right?
But that rabbit was 4 fingers big! This present I am sewing is definitely a GODZILLA size in comparison.
they are in need of serious help
if only eating desserts makes eyebags disappear T_T
I was super super like, SUPER PROUD of myself and my "butter fingers", then this just have to happen.
when ms.Ng saw the present, she added on by saying, "Eh! Deflated wan the testicles?"
Those are FEET! F.E.E.T, feet!! Past tense for FOOT. Or LEGS! *fan toi*
To love or not to love my friends, that is definitely a question to ponder.
p.s// anyone going for Blogopolis? hmm..
and oh yea, how the heck do you all wrap dolls/soft toys? look like a mayat (corpse ) when I put into a box! Cause the box automatically felt like a coffin

With continued Brexit concerns, pound bulls should pick on weakest currency the yen, which is suffer...
The Forex Trading Week Ahead
05/23/2011 10:50 am EST
Focus: FOREX
New debt problems in Greece and Spain, Japan's now-official recession, and a weakening Canadian dollar are among this week's major themes for currency traders to monitor closely.
This past week saw most major asset markets and currencies essentially consolidate around recent lows following the selloff in the first half of May. Incoming data, however, continues to suggest increasing sluggishness in the major economies.
In the US, housing data weakened further, both the Philadelphia and Empire manufacturing indexes declined, industrial production flattened, and the index of leading indicators dropped for the first time in ten months.
In Europe, in addition to the ongoing peripheral debt saga (see below), the ZEW outlook survey of investors and analysts declined more than expected for Germany and the euro zone as a whole, while on Friday, the Bundesbank warned that German growth would likely moderate after the strong surge at the start of the year. Japanese Q1 GDP also declined by more than expected, and Q2 prospects are not much better (read on for more).
Overall, between weakening data in major economies, deteriorating debt conditions in Europe, the debt cap debate in the US, and the looming termination of QE2, we think the environment continues to lean toward risk aversion, and we would expect commodities, stocks, and JPY crosses to resume their declines, likely propelling the USD higher in the process.
Looking at this week's data calendar, there aren't any reports that on their own seem sufficient to provoke a surge in risk aversion, so we would anticipate either a steady drip of weaker data to eventually see recent lows tested, with a break below serving as confirmation, or another week of choppy consolidation.
Spanish elections over the weekend could provide a spark of euro-specific negativity (see below), and the steady drip of Greek travails could also take a further toll.
There is a G8 meeting at the end of this week, but at the moment, currencies do not appear to be high on the agenda.
On the charts, we will be watching to see if the US dollar index can break into its daily cloud, which it tested several times this past week. The base of the cloud drops to 75.55 to start the week, and declines to below 75.00 later in the week (price last at 75.47).
EUR/USD has dropped inside its cloud, with the cloud top rising to between 1.4263 and 1.4359 as a source of resistance this week. The base of the cloud is mostly steady between 1.3975 and 1.4039 as a support/potential breakdown area, again highlighting the significance of the 1.4000/1.4050 area overall.
We prefer to use remaining strength in the JPY crosses as a selling opportunity in anticipation of heightened risk aversion.

Greek Problems Get Worse Before Getting Better
The second wave of the Greek debt crisis seems to be focused on the technicalities of default. This time last year, the EU authorities together with the European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were trying to find a stop-gap solution to the Greek financial crisis. Now the hard work begins as the EU authorities (in particular the ECB) try to wean the Greek financial system off temporary liquidity support.
To complicate matters, Greece isn't playing ball. Its tax collection record is still dismal and its deficit cutting hasn't happened fast enough to convince the EU authorities to give them more money.
German officials have spoken out about Greece's shortfalls and it was slapped on the wrist by the IMF last week. This pushed Athens to announce a wave of privatizations of state assets, but that wasn't enough to stop Fitch, the credit rating agency, from cutting its long-term credit rating to B+. Fitch justified its actions by saying that the risk of default had dramatically increased and that any re-profiling of debt is another form of default.
This caused a flurry of risk aversion in the markets; however, this is likely to be short-lived. The market has come to expect a second bailout/default from Greece.
What is much more troublesome is the ECB's recent rhetoric. It is steadfastly against a debt restructuring for any member states, which is what the EU authorities are pushing for. The reason for this is twofold: Firstly, it believes that a default would cause contagion to other more systemically important nations in the euro zone, like Spain. Secondly, since last year, the ECB has been accepting lower-grade collateral in return for its loans, which means that it is sitting on billions in peripheral debt.
ECB member Jens Weidman said that the Bank may no longer accept Greek bonds as collateral if there is an arranged default for Athens. This would in essence shut off Greek banks from the capital markets, causing them to collapse and potentially triggering a global financial crisis, resulting in the 200-pip drop in EUR/USD at the end of this past week.
The ECB is talking tough and has a right to voice its concerns, but we believe it will be sidelined and EU authorities will ultimately determine the solution to the debt crisis. The ECB's mandate is to promote financial market stability, and unleashing chaos into the markets by effectively forcing Greece into bankruptcy would be a clear violation of this mandate.
The bad news for euro bulls is that the Greek situation is likely to get worse. An IMF audit into how well it is adhering to the conditions of its first bailout is due to be released next month, which has the potential to dent investor sentiment even further.
NEXT: The Euro Hinges on Spain|pagebreak|
The Euro Hinges on Spain
It is becoming a bit of a habit for investors to start selling the euro in the lead-up to the European close on a Friday afternoon. The single currency was weak across the board, as we ended last week and EUR/USD dropped nearly 200 points on the back of the Greek story described above.
However, the euro still looks supported above 1.4000 against the dollar. That's nearly 20% stronger than it was this time last year during the peak of the Greek crisis.
Today, FX traders are treating the Greek crisis as manageable; however, any deterioration in Spain's financial situation could trigger a similar decline.
This weekend is pivotal for the single currency. Local elections in Spain are expected to hand the ruling Socialist party a hefty defeat across the municipalities. This is problematic on two fronts. Firstly, if the opposition Peoples' Party (PP) does as well as expected, then it may call for the resignation of the government. Bond markets hate political uncertainty, and this would cause Spain's borrowing costs to spike.
The second issue is that new local administrations are unlikely to waste any time in unveiling hidden debts or financial irregularities by the former leaders. This may push up Spain's official debt position, thus derailing its fiscal consolidation program that is so vital to maintaining investor confidence. Right now, reports suggest that these "hidden" debts could amount to EUR 30 billion.
Spain is the canary in the coal mine. It is the fourth-largest economy in the euro zone, and so far, its bonds have largely escaped the same selling pressure as Greece, Ireland, and Portugal. However, the aftermath of these elections could cause all that to change.
If bond yields soar, this would mean that Spain is another step closer to a bailout, the size of which may exceed the size of the Greek, Irish, and Portuguese bailouts combined. German taxpayers are unlikely to cough up these kinds of sums, and that could bring the whole euro zone project to its knees.
This isn't our central scenario, and there is one thing that may keep Spain out of the firing line for the time being: Its public debt levels are fairly low, totaling around 45% of GDP. Private sector indebtedness is the problem in Spain, fueled by cheap loans from the now-beleaguered domestic Caja lenders and a huge housing bubble.
But Spain still has the power to spook FX markets. If fears grow about the Iberian nation, then it is likely to trigger safe-haven flows to the dollar, weighing on the single currency even more. 1.4150 is holding as support, but below 1.4235—the top of the Ichimoku cloud—the single currency looks vulnerable. The 1.4000 level is a key psychological level, and below here the next major support level is 1.3880.
NEXT: Japan's Economy Still in a "Very Severe" State|pagebreak|
Japan's Economy Still in a "Very Severe" State
Japan released its preliminary Q1 GDP figures earlier last week, which confirmed that the nation's economy fell back into recession. The data showed a quarterly contraction of -0.9%, which was worse than the expected -0.5%, and the prior quarter was revised significantly lower to -0.8% from -0.3%.
Prior to the release of the data, Bank of Japan governor Masaaki Shirakawa said that the nation's economy has been in a "very severe" state since the March 11 earthquake. This comes as no surprise, as economic activity fell sharply following the devastating earthquake, as evidenced by negative growth and declining consumer confidence.
Japan's April trade balance is scheduled for release on Wednesday and is expected to show the country's first trade deficit in two years due to a significant drop in exports and small advance in imports.
Also due this week is April retail sales, which are likely to fall further as recent confidence indicators have continued to deteriorate.
As the world's third-largest economy, the downturn in Japan is an impediment to the global recovery. It will likely be some time before the economy can turn around and begin to claw its way out of the recession, and as such, we would expect the yen to come under pressure.
Safe-haven flows have benefited the yen, however, acknowledgement by policymakers of the severe state of the economy and expectations of additional extraordinary measures to stabilize the economic conditions are likely to limit further yen gains.
In USD/JPY, the 80.00 level is the key pivot to the downside, which is around the 61.8% retracement of the rally from the March lows to April highs, in addition to being a key psychological level.
The key levels to the upside are the top of the daily Ichimoku cloud and 200-day simple moving average (SMA), which can be found in the 82.55/82.75 area. A sustained break above here may see upside towards the 84.50 pivot area ahead of the 85.50 prior highs, while a drop through the 80 figure may see a further decline.
The Loonie May See Weakness Ahead
On Friday, the Canadian dollar (CAD) weakened on the back of Canadian CPI and retail sales figures. April Consumer Price Index remained unchanged from last month at +3.3% year-over-year (y/y), however, this was below economists' expectations of a rise to +3.4%.
Additionally, the March retail sales figures came in at 0.0% month-over-month (m/m), which was much weaker than the consensus of +0.9% and +0.5% in February. Taken together, this eliminates any chance of a Bank of Canada (BOC) rate hike on May 31, and presumably for the July 19 decision as well.
Furthermore, provided that inflation expectations continue to stay well anchored, it is unlikely that headline inflation will be able to persist above the target range for much longer.
Given that the world economy is beginning to show signs of slowing and the Federal Reserve is about to end QE2, the fundamental outlook for higher commodity prices has abated. This suggests the impact of higher energy prices on headline inflation and its indirect pass-through effects on core inflation may begin to deteriorate in the second half of 2011.
Consequently, it seems the BoC's decision to keep its policy rate unchanged at 1.00% has been correct. As such, we believe the market will begin to price in the realization that rates aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and this could weigh on the loonie going forward.
Technically, the USD/CAD has been confined in a downward-sloping channel since September 2010, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has confirmed the move lower throughout. Additionally, the 100-day SMA has roughly coincided with the top of the trend channel, and earlier, the pair tested both of these key technical levels (which is the second time over the past week) and has so far been rebuffed.
The 0.9765/0.9775 level also encompasses the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the move lower from the middle of March to the beginning of May. Should commodities—especially crude oil—continue to remain under pressure, this would be bullish for USD/CAD, and we would expect the aforementioned resistance level to give way to an eventual test of the 200-day SMA and the March 15 high, which are both just below parity.

1. Gather supplies. I used burlap for the fabric, since I like the look of it, and I had a bunch of it in my fabric stash.
2. Cut the triangles, or whatever shape you want your fabric pieces to be. I found this triangle ruler at Joann Fabrics in the quilting section. It was on clearance for $3.97 and was the perfect size for my banner.
I just placed it on my fabric and cut around it with my rotary cutter. I cut one triangle for each letter in my shop name, as well as few extra pieces, just in case I messed up somewhere....
3. I used this stencil by Hillman Sign Center to pain my letters onto the fabric. I bought this stencil set at Lowes, in the mailbox section. They did have some at the local craft stores, but they were a bit more expensive. These letters are 4 inches tall.
I used a round sponge brush to blot the paint on, and I used DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Elegant Finish Paint in Rich Espresso. They didn't have fabric paint in the color that I was looking for, but this all purpose acrylic paint worked just fine. (If I planned on washing my banner, I would have gotten fabric paint, though).
4. Once everything had been painted, I let it dry for 24 hours.
5. Attach the triangles to a string of some sort. I used double fold bias tape. I simply slide my triangles in between the two pieces or bias tape and pinned them in place. I set everything up on a flat surface so that I could make sure that my placement was good and my spacing was correct before I pinned everything in place. Then, I used two rows of zigzag stitching to secure it. Since burlap tends to unravel, I thought that two rows of stitching (one at the top and one towards the bottom of the bias tape) would make everything more secure.
Here is the finished product!

Visual Literacy Through Picture Books K-12: A Curriculum Approach.
Laughlin, Mildred
An effective and easily overlooked resource for conducting visual literacy activities at the elementary secondary level is the picture book collection found in most elementary school libraries. In these times of inflated prices and budget reductions, K-12 librarians and teachers should not fail to make use of these materials. There are a variety of approaches to teaching visual literacy through the use of picture books. Story boards, photographs, hand games, filmmaking, and filmstrips can be used as supplementary materials for these activities. Among the authors whose works are particularly appropriate for visual literacy activities are David Macaulay, Jim Murphy, Tomie DePaola, Holling C. Holling, Jean Fritz, F. N. Monjo, and Barbara Cooney. Reading, English, and the total language arts program offer many opportunities for such activities, and projects related to the teaching of poetry can be very successful. The work of the following poets has been used effectively as the basis for visual literacy activities: Vachel Lindsay, Ernest Thayer, James Whitcomb Riley, Harry Behn, Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, Carl Sandburg, and Leo and Diane Dillon.

Broadway On Ice
(January 1 and 2, 2005 evening and matinee performances)
Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA
When I saw this show in Branson, Missouri, at the Andy Williams Theatre in summer of 2000, I was impressed with the quality of the entire undertaking as well as the skating (see review). The Willy Bietak production (http://www.bietakproductions.com/) has now evolved into a first rate entertainment vehicle. The show has been marketed to local theater organizations and has most often been a part of an annual subscription package of theatrical presentations. From November through February, it will appear in ten venues; others have indicated interest in presenting it in the future.
Much has been added to the show as it moved into several theaters across the U.S. in late 2004 and 2005. Sara Kawahara directs and choreographs. The numbers and transitions are more crisp, the sound system is much superior, and the guest skaters and singers are better integrated into the show. The stage settings are attractive, yet unobtrusive and easily moved and adjusted.
The program credits Jef Billings as Costume Designer, and the ensemble skaters definitely sparkle more than in Branson! Interestingly, Rudy and Oksana brought their own costumes (except for one of Rudys). Unlike Branson where there wasn't any printed information about the show, there are now Playbill style and souvenir programs with complete performance listings and skater biographies. Rudy, Oksana, and Leslie Uggams, the guest singer for several of the shows, had full page glossy inserts in the souvenirs.
The Fox Theatre in downtown Atlanta was another grand experience. Built in the 1920s as the Yaarab Temple Shrine mosque, it was a beautifully outlandish, opulent, grandiose monument to the heady excesses of the pre-crash 1920's. What I thought of as an open air Elizabethan-style theater because of the ceiling of evening sky above with constellations in perfect order and clouds moving past the turrets, was actually modeled after an Arabian courtyard. Sitting in the first Loge (above the Orchestra seats) for the Saturday night show, I felt like I was in an outdoor theater in perfect weather watching Broadway the way Rudy said it was supposed to be in his introduction On Ice.
The rest of the
Theatre has made use of large ballrooms and halls for everything from refreshment
areas to rest rooms. After some treacherous up and down times, the Fox
Theatre finally achieved standing both as a National Historic Landmark
(1991) and as a Museum, the most important State-wide designation. Therefore,
its existence should be assured for many years to come.
After two sellouts
in Florida in Sarasota and West Palm Beach, this show was not as well attended,
possibly because of the inability of people to leave regular New Years
Day activities or recover from New Years Eve celebrating! There is also
the fact that this is a huge theater. Throughout the intermission and after
the show, the talk among those who did attend was of what a wonderful event
it was and why didnt Atlanta come out in greater numbers to see it. The
Sunday matinee crowd was an especially responsive audience whose enthusiasm
poured out into the lobbies during intermission and at the shows end.
Pre-show publicity was sparse in Atlanta, again possibly due to the holidays.
Looking over the
program, I was pleased to see that two of the skaters I had most enjoyed
in Branson were also featured in this show. Chris Nolan, who is listed
as associate choreographer, would again perform Willkommen from Cabaret
and be featured in several other numbers. Other than Rudy, he may have
done the only other triple jump I saw. Sara Robertson was back in the ensemble
doing Broadway Baby. At Branson, she proved the Beillmann spin could
be done by a relatively tall, statuesque skater to dramatic effect. I also
noticed that Sylvia Fontana was a featured skater and was going to perform
I Dreamed a Dream. This turned out to be a highlight.
Others skating
in the ensemble and company were Sarah Bickford, Jed Hopkins, Samantha
Huntt, Colleen Moyer, Phillip Patterson, Lynne Petta, Pete St. Germaine,
and Samantha Taylor (in addition to those mentioned below). The only name
I recognized in the credits besides those mentioned before was Cindy Stuart,
who, along with Cathy Steele, provided additional choreography.
Rudy introduced
the show after an initial Putting It Together number featuring most of
the cast. Wearing the gorgeous jacket he used for his 2001 Moulin Rouge
program (http://www.rudy-galindo.com/wic012-46.htm),
he again amazed me with his professional and well-articulated (albeit a
little breathless) speaking. He slows down the "California-speak!" Rudy
has such wonderful personality and style for a theatrical setting.
The first part
of the first act was called Stomp, and it moved very quickly, and
really blew the audience away with its with about 30+ minutes of uninterrupted
and fast-paced skating. Following are the numbers:
On the Town (company)
Everyone got in on this.
All I Ask of You (Principal pair Svetlana Butova& Maxim Fomin Russia)
The audiences responded with amazement and admiration to both pairs athletic lifts and moves and their touching interaction throughout the show. According to the program, they hold the title of Master of Sports of Russia in figure skating. In this country, they were third in the American Open Professional Figure skating championships (no year given).
Somewhere (Oksana)
Oksana moves so well on the ice. Ive heard her fans refer to her as a dancer, and her performances in this show illustrated why. Her jumps were much better in the matinee performance than the evening before, but they still had an awkward look to them on the small ice since she is so dependent on speed to complete them. She could have left them out and few would have cared. One thing that happened 3-4 times each performance was that Oksana would appear to be going into a Biellmann spin holding her leg back and up over her head.. The audience would murmer with anticipation. Each time, she sort of dropped the spin and her leg and finished it as a kind of modified donut on a stick spin. The audience was palpably disappointed!
Willkomen (Chris Nolan and ensemble)
Chris sings and speaks part of this number himself, and did a good job with it, even the accent. He has mastered the art of skating expressively on very small ice.
Hot Honey Rag
(another principal pair Viktoriya Glichenko & Andrey Baka of
Ukraine) and "All that Jazz" (Silvia Fontana & ensemble) continued
the Fosse tribute. It was most enjoyable, although I fondly remembered
Oksanas version of it!
Trouble (in River
City) from The Music Man (Kelly Smith) mixed skating with a tap
dancer who performed on a table in one of the weaker moments of the evening.
In Branson, Michael Chack did this number and my recollection is that it
was more successful with his fine skatingand without the dancer.
Then it was back
to Fosse with Oksana doing Big Spender. I had a hard time with this one
as I sort of consider it Rudys territory, but adjusted to it and realize
most consider it a woman's song! Oksana does Fosse very well, too.
Were In the Money (company) was a rousing way to end Act 1, part 1.
The cast appeared
to be very comfortable with the company and ensemble numbers and there
weren't any glitches I could see. With prior performances in Palm
Desert and San Francisco, CA, and Grand Rapids, MI, in November and December,
as well as Sarasota and West Palm Beach, Florida, they had put things together
very well indeed. The "star" performers had no trouble fitting in.
The next part of
the first act was titled In Concert, and it began with Leslie Uggams
singing three numbers. One, On My Way to You, was outstanding, both in
terms of the lyrics and music, and her rendition of it. She mentioned it
was on her latest CD.
Rudy then skated
to Send In the Clowns. He did this in Branson at the last minute when
the Fosse numbers he had planned were already scheduled, and it was so
well-received that he was asked to do it again here. He was mesmerizing
and the hoop work enthralled the audience, as did the double axels. One
thing he did differently was to substitute a hand stand (held for several
seconds) for the cartwheel he has done previously in this program.
The Officer Krupke
and Cool set, done by the ensemble, might have been placed elsewhere
as it was a little out of place (and unnecessary) here between two of the
highlights of the show (Rudy and the next number...
Seasons of Love
that featured Chris Nolan, Silvia Fontana, and the two principal pairs.
The Rent number was beautifully choreographed, well skated, and
the audience loved it.
The first act ended
with a rousing and good-humored version of America from West Side
During the intermission,
I always like to wander among the audience and listen to comments.
Most had never seen an ice show on a theatrical stage and it was evident
that people were surprised and pleased at what great entertainment it was.
The second act
of the show is also divided into parts in reverse order of the first act.
The specialty numbers and In Concert segments precede the longer
Broadway Medley skating segment. The idea of organizing the show
with fast-moving skating periods at the beginning and end was a good one!
Spirits of the
Night features Butova & Fomin doing a medley of songs with on that
themeManja de Carnival, O Fortuna, and Music Of the Night along
with the ensemble. The audiences again appreciated the pairs movesand
the lavish costumes and dramatic music.
In a fairly long
In Concert segment, Dale Gonyea, a pianist/comic and special guest
star, combined both talents with some well studied local humor and songs
that really tickled the matinee audience, in particular. Then he did what
he really came for and played a very creditable Rhapsody In Blue for
a performance by a group of the featured skaters. After that, Oksana, Rudy,
and Leslie Uggams gathered around the piano for some lighter fare: But
Not For Me/ SWonderful (Oksana, Leslie, Dale), My One and Only (Leslie,
Rudy, Dale), and Ive Got Rhythm (All).
At some point in
the early second act, Oksana came to front stage and delivered some slightly
off the wall and breathless (from skating) comments to the audience. Im
not sure any of us understood what she intended to say, but she was charming
in a quirky sort of way.
The final part
of this act was aptly titled Broadway Medley. It was uninterrupted
skating that left the audiences as uplifted and excited about the show
as the first Stomp medley.
Oksana and the
ensemble led off with Give My Regards To Broadway, followed by two lively
ensemble numbers, Theres No Business Like Show Business and 42nd Street.
By now everyone was accustomed to the skating moves and ice coverage and
appreciated the unique and dramatic possibilities of performing on the
Two of the lady
featured skaters (Sara Robertson and Samantha Taylor) did an attractive
and flirty version of Broadway Baby. Robertson did the Beillmann the
audience had been waiting for Oksana to do.
Chris Nolan and
Samantha Huntt followed with Everythings Coming Up Roses and All I
Need Is the Girl. Nolan, but for lack of a readily recognizable name,
could carry much of the show. He has jumps, spins, and excellent flexibility.
Silvia Fontanas
I Dreamed a Dream was superb. Its a real solo meant to showcase the
skater, and she worked very hard to make it a well-developed and varied
program. The audience loved it. I assume that Silvia will be almost elevated
to guest star status during the period Brian Boitano does the show in late
January and early February.
The ensemble reappeared to perform three upbeat songs: Another 100 People, Dont Rain On My Parade, and Before the Parade Passes By.
The two principal
pairs engaged in some mock competition to I Can Do That and again the
audiences responded to lifts and throws.
Rudy was up next
with a spirited Yankee Doodle Dandy. He put a lot of typical Rudy energy
into this number with numerous double axels, spins, etc., and a triple
salchow. The latter was perfect for the matinee, a little off the night
before when Rudy ran out of room! Amazingly, the audiences knew the triple
was something more than they had seen before. They seemed to really appreciate
the liveliness of this upbeat program.
Oksana came back
to reprise Give My Regards To Broadway and do a little of Razzle Dazzle
with the entire company joining for the finale.
In many ways, this
show combines some of the best features of Champions On Ice and Stars On
Iceindividual skaters doing what they do best, fine ensemble skating in
various configurations, and excellent production values. At least in comparison
to COI and SOI, the cost of tickets seemed to be considerably less ($48.50
top in Atlanta). There are four more venues that I know of for those who
would like to see the show:
Clearwater, FL
February 1-2, Rudy Eckerd Hall (Brian Boitano)
Naples, FL
February 4-6, Philharmonic Center For the Arts (Brian Boitano)
Raleigh, NC
February 8-13, BTI Center for Performing Arts, Raleigh Memorial
Auditorium (Dorothy Hamill)
South Bend, IN
February 15-20, Morris Performing Arts Center (Dorothy Hamill)
I'd recommend Broadway
On Ice for all figure skating fans who are able to appreciate the entertainment
aspect of the sport and theater fans who are willing to be adventurous
with something a little different than they may be accustomed to. I only
hope that this show can succeed financially and that new versions will
be forthcoming. It's something that audiences seem to like in that it's
much more intimate (and warmer temperature-wise!) than arena events. It's
also another opportunity for the many talented professional skaters out
there. The technology of setting up temporary and relatively small rinks
seems to be more practical than it once was. It's an innovative way for
performing arts groups that develop subscription-based season offerings
to fill out schedules with a family show that is likely to be a pleasant
surprise. I did see an ad of sorts on a concert ideas page that suggested
Broadway On Ice was ideal for performance on college campuses.
This show could improve even more with some assurance that it does have a market. For now, it's well worth a the ticket price and an afternoon or evening out.

In a modern living and household the only thing that you will find is excess things in the house and office, some necessary and some not so necessary. Still they are present in our lives. Most of us have separate room to keep these extra belongings. This leads to the house turn into a mess, similarly at office you have piles of paper and files piled up on your desk giving it a very untidy look. When it comes to finding things especially a particular one, it becomes very hectic and frustrated. Not anyone can work properly in such situation and it is necessary that you organize your things before many difficulties arise.
Keeping Home and Office area clean and organized is a "must do" for all homemakers and employee. This not only increases the effectiveness of your work but also gives you a clean and organized environment to work. Storage shelving and long span shelving are two of the best options that have been offered to us for both home and offices. The storage shelving helps in various kinds of storage of things. No more clustering and keeping things stacked up that hinders the work. Longspan shelving on the other hand is also a method of storing things, but these shelves are mostly used to keep things covering huge areas. No matter if it is a general room or the bathroom these shelving solutions are the ideal solution to keep things organized and easily available.
If you are need for storing heavy things then you need longspan shelving, a perfect solution for commercial use. Depending on your requirement and need, it is necessary that you choose the best option for your office or home. Shelving is a very important part of organizing things. It is better to have shelves and racks and keep things organized so that when it done you can enjoy all its benefits.
